Happy Music Monday! Now spread 'em! No, no, we're just kidding, the lawyers would never let us mug you. We're not profitable enough to protect! And that's why, today, we're taking a look at the seedy side of songs. Today's Music Monday is all about crime. We'll start with a classic:
Woody Guthrie - Pretty Boy Floyd
This song about a Depression-era bank robber shares a lot in common with modern hip hop songs. A guy with no money, doing what he had to do to survive, yet popular with the people. Some say he's like Robin Hood, some say he's a terrible man, some say it was all just made up in the first place. Regardless of the truth, "Some will rob you with a six gun/and some with a fountain pen" are lyrics that could have been written just last week.
More crime and criminals after the jump. Follow us if you know what's good for you.
Remember our new Spotify playlist will be featuring a great selection from last week's Music Monday comments. The theme of the mix this time is Best Bass Lines so turn on the subwoofer before you hit play. Just before you start reminiscing, check out our current Music Monday below. It'd be a crime if you missed out. Ha! Get it? Okay, fine, that joke was a crime as well.
Serge Gainsbourg & Brigette Bardot - Bonnie And Clyde
Yes, it's in French, and yes, you don't have to speak French to enjoy the song. This song is carried by tone and tune, and if you know who Bonnie and Clyde were, you know this is a love song for a pair doomed from the start. But boy, will they enjoy the ride.
Tony Orlando & Dawn - Tie A Yellow Ribbon
This song has found a new life, but originally, it was the story of an ex-con wondering about the girl he left behind. Of course, Wikipedia adds another layer by letting us know the yellow ribbon was for soldiers first so we're not poo-pooing the present day meaning, just pointing out that this song was originally related to crime.
Kate Bush - There Goes A Tenner
This could, in fact, be the only song about a bank heist in progress. Of course things go wrong, but that's not a spoiler, because if you see the words "bank heist" in any form of media you should just accept the words "goes wrong" follow right behind it. A lovely song nevertheless.
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
If you've never heard this song before, that's your fault. The Man In Black made singing about criminal acts into something no one else ever did: a bad thing. You can't sing along to Folsom Prison Blues without understanding that sin carries a price, or to put it casually, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. Lots of rappers make what they do sound wonderful, but Cash makes the sound wonderful, but remembers to keep the story sad. He suffers so you won't.
Confess to your favorite crime song in our comments below. Then lay low in our Turntable.fm room for the regular Music Monday enjoyment. Also, let us just remind you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
I'm sure there's a better choice, but my first thought was Kid Creole and the Coconuts' Stool Pigeon. Hopefully I can come up with something more proggy later.
This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue two young lovers with nothin' better to do than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube and here is what happened when they decided to cut loose...yeah my fave would have to be Steve Miller Band's "Take The Money And Run."

Oh, I think that's the better choice I was trying to remember!
Bobby Darrin's Mack The Knife (No, it's not his originally, but his is the most famous version) is not just about one crime, but many! It's also one of my favorites of all time.
Also, I'm going to re-use a song I used long ago here. James Taylor - Machine Gun Kelly
Oh crap, the answer was Steely Dan all along!
Kid Charlemagne
Don't Take Me Alive

While I like "Folsom Prison Blues," as a former Californian, I always cringe at the lines about shooting a man in Reno and then doing time in Folsom Prison. Reno is in Nevada--why is he locked up across the border?

If both men were Californian, it would make sense. Or if the crime he got locked up for was not killing the man in Reno, that was just the start of his walk down the bad path. Or if he shot a man in Reno Junction, CA.
What about Barenaked Ladies' song "Bank Job".
that's a live version in the bathroom.

I'm glad someone mentioned Mack the Knife! I also love that song. I've also enjoyed Butcher Pete from the Fallout 3 soundtrack.

Gibson Sues Wal-Mart Over 'Guitar Hero'
Gibson is on a lawsuit rampage! Earlier this month the guitar company sued Activision claiming patent violations. This week they are taking on Wal-Mart and five other retailers including Kmart, Target and GameStop.
Santa Monica, Calif.,-based Activision contends Gibson's patent assertions have no merit. Gibson has said it wants Activision to stop selling "Guitar Hero" until it gets a license under the patent.

How to Care for Your Beard
Byon November 27, 2013
You dont want to get messed up with a guy like Koji Uehara of the Boston Red Sox. Hes a loner. A rebel. A fearless, clean-shaven cowboy on a baseball diamond beset by a brotherhood of bearded ball players; and in the official MLB World Series video that just released yesterday, this pitchers beardless brawn has him throwing more than just wins for the Sox. He's lobbing gauntlets, and at his own team. I think its just nasty to grow a beard that long, he says about his teammates now legendary beards.
We think its pretty obvious that beard size and its filth factor are not necessarily related, but rather than besmirch the man for his sweeping generalization, lets take this moment to ensure that your beard is not, in fact, nasty:
Stink: Only you know all the places your beard has been, so by all means, rinse if thats all you need to do. Otherwise, keep it cleaned, like your work clothes. A regular shampoo and conditioner will wash well, but if youre feeling fancy, Mister Beardwash, which is formulated with botanicals specifically for the thicker follicles on your face, is like taking your beard to the dry cleaners.
Dandruff: Snowflakes should sparkle in your beard, not small pieces of dead skin. Were talking about beard dandruff, which is a real thing. Beard oils can help, but if youve got a serious problem, its the Head and Shoulders and Selsun Blues of the world for you. The use of an over-the-counter or prescription anti-dandruff shampoo is effective, says Dr. Terrence Keaney MD, Director of W for Men, the nations first dermatology clinic just for men. To treat beard dandruff, wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil before applying the medicated shampoo; leave on the skin for at least five minutes to allow penetration and then wash off. Doctors orders.
Itchiness: Beards itch. Its just what they do. And when you scratch, it just makes it look like you have fleas. The cure? A beard oil that uses calming ingredients like safflower oil. Woodsman Beard Oil by the Bearded Bastard is a fine, musky, Texas cedarwood-scented one that also keeps whiskers hydrated.
Misshapen: Your beard may appear nasty because its grown into the splitting image of Rosanne Barr, which can happen if beard hair is left to develop on its own. So heres where we remind you that giving up shaving doesnt mean youre free from routine. When you head to the barber, have them clean that thing up. Or try it yourself at home every few weeks with scissors. Also, keep it hydrated with an oil so the hair doesnt break and grow uneven.
Cold Season: When you start sneezing and coughing into your face fuzz, it really can start to get nasty. Use beard balm with Tea Tree Oil like this new one from Badricks. According to Karen Ortiz, certified Chinese Herbalist, its a natural antibacterial with anti-fungal and antiviral properties and it has been historically used to kill lice.
Food: Insert in mouth. Not on beard. Its that simple.

Ratatouille, for the win!
On an autumnal Seattle night, what to do with:
Dragon's tongue beans from Redmond PCC
Crunchy and gorgeous sweet peppers
Plump heirloom tomatoes
plus sunny zucchini, sunburst squash and shiny, regal eggplant?
Make ratatouille, of course!
Mixing together all that lovely produce, plus generous amounts of dried oregano, marjoram and a pinch of chili flakes.
This recipe for Express Ratatouille by PCC Cooks instructor Lesa Sullivan is a cinch. Save time by enlisting a friend to help you chop all that produce. I subbed a can of Muir Glen fire-roasted tomatoes since I forgot to pick up heirlooms and added some local, organic corn that I shaved from the cob. The house smelled wonderful as all those seasonings simmered and commingled on the stove. Even my meat-loving husband was happy due to the wealth of flavor within, though we think this would be marvelous with a side of grilled pork loin or a slab of baked halibut.
Chime in! (our commenting policy)
Please use proper table manners when sharing food for thought on this or any other PCC Natural Markets forum. If a food fight starts, email firstname.lastname@example.com to blow the whistle.

For some reason, this team — it wasn't exactly a team, just four people making the same dish — decided to do prep work together. Louis made the seasoning for the whole group, which seemed to destroy each of the four dishes. Hugh thought each and every dish was under-seasoned, and Tom noted that everyone was so paranoid about getting it right that they got it wrong. Tory said this whole challenge was just about making the simple stuff very well. To draw a comparison that only rabid fans of women's gymnastics would understand, this challenge was like compulsories (bring them back!) — to make sure you had the basic techniques mastered.
Dana thought that putting components from each chef's work together, you had the dish: Nina's shrimp, Bene's sauce, and Michael's presentation. I about wanted to pelt Michael with an authentic Louisiana crawdad when he dumped Nina's okra on the counter. I foresee Michael becoming a bigger monster as the season progresses.
This group's politically incorrect chop was all over the place. Some of the meat was perfect, some of it was far from. Surprisingly, Patty was the closest to nailing the presentation of the dish.
Clearly, the dessert group was the winner. In past seasons, dessert caused so many problems, but this time, the chefs really figured out how to make it work. Even though Stephanie didn't know how to make a biscuit at first, Lally claimed that she made the cocktail and biscuit better than Commander could. There were some soggy beignets here and there, but as I always say, a soggy beignet is better than no beignet. Whoa, Dana just called herself a "whipped cream whore"!
The Judges Table for the winners came down to Stephanie, Justin, and Nina, but it was all about the desserts. Justin edged Stephanie out for the win with his great overall trio. The losers turned out to be Louis, Carlos, and Bret. Carlos blackened his fish way too much, Louis botched the seasoning for everyone in his group, and Bret didn't give himself enough time to actually cook his meat. In the end, Bret had to pack his knives and go. Even though Bret could come across as... well, dumb, I really thought Louis made a bigger mistake that impacted more dishes and just generally shows very little potential. Maybe I just feel sorry for Bret because he seems this close to a mid-life crisis.
Does this season belong to the ladies? Did the right guy go home?

Why did I think this might acually work?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 09-21-2009 - 9:26am
URGH, just got in from my u/s and b/w this morning and things aren't looking good. I am basically not responding to the stims. I am on day 8 of stims and only have 6 follies, one of which is over 10. It is looking like my IVF cycle is going to get canceled. The nurse said they would wait to get my b/w results and discuss it this afternoon with the RE and let me know what to do. She said we could possibly convert this cycle to an IUI.
I asked her if it was looking like ovarian failure and she agreed that it was.
I am beyond depressed. I can't believe I let myself think this would actually work. I let my guard down and got all excited at the prospect of getting pg and having a healthy baby. It's obvious that it is just not in the cards for me. There has been one obstacle after another, when I am just going to let myself give up? DH asked me what I wanted to do, donor eggs? adopt? And I just can't even think about it right now. I'm numb.
I'm 37, DH is 41 and we are TTC #1. We've had 2 unexplained miscarriages and a bout with Asherman's Syndrome but we're determined.
IUI #2 (Aug 09) = BFN

It just didn't seem as though they were developing the same depth or tactical thinking that Soul Calibur, Tekken or Virtua fighter had. Street Fighter and King of Fighters seemed kind of mundane in the range of options of things that i could do within a fight, they were faster but that seemed to be the only difference. Smash bros became the only 2d fighter that i played for a while, not because it was especially deep but because it brought because it was innovative and had a 4 player option. I first heard about Blazblue because it's known as the only fighting game that has no lag in online fights which is what fist attracted me to it. It completely changed my opinion of 2D fighters in that its focus on speed, aerial combos and projectile attacks really fitted with the 2 dimensional format. On top of that, it's cast are the most varied that i have ever encountered in a fighting game. Every character has a drive attack which implements a special ability unique to them ranging from controlling wind, a puppet, magnetising your opponent or stealing their health, the list goes on. The sotory is also surprisingly decent for fighter, it's quite JRPG or final fantasyesque but without any massive production values, so it is limited to alot of text and still backgrounds. It's not ideal, but it actually provides more substance to the characters and can actually influence the decision of you try to master first. The only bad thing that i have to say about the game is that it does have a bit of a steep learning curve but that can't be avoided with a fighting system this deep i suppose. the game does try to combat this though by mapping special moves to the right stick, which helps if you are having mates round who want to just pick up and play the game. Blazblue is a sleeper hit and doesn't have the funding of a massive advertising campaign to let people know about how good it is but if you are into fighters then this game is a must.

Using the meat from good-quality sausages is an easy way to get lots of flavour into mince dishes without having to add extra herbs, spices and seasoning.
- Heat a large, wide frying pan, then crumble in the sausage meat and fennel seeds (there's no need to add any oil). Fry for a few mins until golden and the fat is released, stirring well to break up the meat. Add the mushrooms and fry for a few mins until beginning to soften. Stir in the wine now, if using, bubble for 1 min, then add the tomato sauce and heat through until bubbling.
- Meanwhile, boil the penne. When ready, drain and tip into the sauce. Mix well until completely coated, then divide between four plates, finishing with a little Parmesan.

Developing a Strategy to Manage Mobile Devices
By Samuel Greengard
As mobility has taken root and the walls of the workplace have disappeared, there has been a profound shift in the way organizations approach information technology. Workers are no longer chained to desktops, and there's no need to track down an Internet connection. Ubiquitous WiFi and cellular networks have transformed enterprise communication and collaboration into a 24x7x365 proposition.
However, this new era of connectedness also places enormous pressure and stress on IT. "We have entered an entirely different environment where BYOD [bring your own device] and consumer technologies rule," observes Daniel Eckert, managing director of Emerging Technologies at consulting firm PwC. "Although a mobile infrastructure is relatively easy and cost-effective to build and maintain, it raises new and sometimes difficult challenges. There's a need to manage people, devices and data."
Enter mobile device management. Although the term MDM is often associated with software applications that offer technical controls over devices—including the ability to register smartphones and tablets on a network, control how data flows on and off these devices, and wipe them in the event of a security breach—there's the more general issue of developing a strategy that maximizes business opportunities while minimizing IT challenges and risk.
"Organizations must develop a comprehensive mobility framework," says Patrick Rusby, research analyst at IT research firm Analysis Mason.
The migration to a post-PC world is occurring faster than anyone could have imagined. Smartphones and tablets now permeate the workplace: Gartner predicts sales of 1.2 billion of these devices in 2013—a 50 percent spike over last year. Sales of smart devices now make up 70 percent of the overall computing market.
What's more, workers are loading a growing array of apps onto their devices and are increasingly relying on them for both business and personal use. Within this new model, "An IT department requires a very different understanding of technology use," Rusby says.
An IT department must take a fundamentally different view of resources within a BYOD environment, Rusby adds. "It's critical to start from the position that the business must enable the use of devices rather than block them," he points out. "The most successful BYOD strategies do not impede employees desiring to use their personal devices for work, but they do ensure that enterprise security concerns are met." In some cases, organizations must also adopt policies and rules about how specific apps and services can be used.
Make no mistake, it's a new frontier of IT and business. PwC's Eckert points out that the new mobility environment crosses all sorts of boundaries. It touches on infrastructure and network issues, the types of applications and mobile apps an organization uses, human resources and policies, and security.
"[Mobility] expands and redefines the traditional boundaries of IT and the relationship people have with technology and work," he explains. Eckert believes that within five years, "Everything will be built for mobile channels, and organizations that fail to act will watch the competition bypass them."
As a result, it's critical to build a mobile and wireless infrastructure that supports collaboration and knowledge sharing but has strong controls in place, including policy and technology protections. Among other things, an enterprise must establish secure authentication, deploy endpoint security, and use an MDM tool that can track devices and allow system administrators and HR staff to register and unregister them on the network. It's also critical to lock and wipe devices that are lost, stolen or otherwise compromised.
"There must be a corporate certificate on the device to ensure that it's secure," Eckert says.
Mobility Means Business
One organization that has put mobile device management at the center of its strategy is Memorial Hermann Healthcare, a not-for-profit health care provider with 12 hospitals and 40 professional office buildings scattered around Houston. The organization— ranked among the nation's top 15 health care providers—has 5,500 affiliated physicians and 21,000 employees.
Overall, physicians, allied health professionals and staff use more than 40,000 edge devices, according to John Barr, consulting technology architect. "Wireless technology has become a critical tool in providing efficient care and improving patient safety," he says.
The facility relies on mobile technology for basic communication, as well as an array of specialized capabilities, including wireless charting and review of electronic medical records (EMR), physician order entry, medication administration and scanning specimens for labs. Some doctors and others bring their own devices to work, while the facility issues devices to many others.
However, the hospital is heading toward a BYOD approach. "Physicians and others will be able to use their own iOS and Android devices," Barr says. That's a job that IT executives don't take lightly, especially since the facilities are spread across a 50-mile periphery and numerous types of devices enter the picture.
"There are huge concerns over patient safety and protecting health information," Barr explains. "Today's mobile devices—smartphones and tablets—are replaceable. We cannot afford to have protected health information floating out and winding up in the wild. We must be able to protect against human carelessness, as well as external threats."
Memorial Hermann is addressing mobile device management by focusing on policies, procedures and tools that span operating systems, devices and functional requirements. For example, the facility is now looking for ways to more effectively sandbox sensitive data so that it drops off a device when the user leaves the wireless network. "Once they are off the network, it's extremely difficult to manage the device and protect the data," Barr explains.
The organization also has put strong protections in place. A Honeywell Remote MasterMind solution manages handheld barcode scanners and mobile devices, and an AirWatch MDM solution tracks smartphones and tablets, including Android and iOS devices. The latter software blocks jail-broken devices from the network.
If an employee violates the policy, their device is automatically wiped. In addition, system administrators can view devices and activity from a central dashboard. They also can push out updates and notifications on an as-needed basis and access device metrics and statistics to quickly diagnose issues.
Securing the Enterprise
Research firm Analysis Mason describes four essential elements of a BYOD framework. The first involves implementation, including device policy, connectivity enablement and policy, device logistics and provisioning. The second element revolves around application enablement, including customer app development, mobile customization and configuration, integration, data synchronization and application allocation.
The third centers on management, including device and OS application management. The final element dives into security, including device authentication, data backups and protection, remote lock and wipe, secure connectivity, malware protection and partitioning.
Mobile device management must also deliver a framework that can adapt to today's rapidly changing market and business conditions. This means designing "a flexible and responsive approach that makes it possible to on-board devices quickly."
MDM is also about embedding a strategy into policies and workflows. Crucial tools and features such as authentication, sandboxing, and remote lock and wipe capabilities are essential. Many organizations, including IBM and Intel, are also introducing app stores that allow employees to download approved software.
Developing a policy framework is even more challenging in the global arena, PwC's Eckert says. As organizations dive deeper into BYOD, they often discover that it's necessary to have someone to oversee the initiative in a more holistic way.
"If you're doing business in 40 or 50 countries, every one of these countries will have different rules and regulations," he points out. As a result, large multinational firms must build policies and rules that not only match the laws of a specific country, but also "follow a person as they travel. Otherwise, they put the company at risk legally and also create security threats," he adds.
Likewise, business and IT leaders must increasingly consider how devices and apps function in different countries and situations—along with which services will work and not work. For example, in countries that block social media sites or deem certain types of activities and communication illegal, an organization might shut down access or block use of an app based on preset rules and conditions.
"More advanced companies are focused on managing the service and type of access, rather than simply providing an app and letting people use it however and wherever they want to use it," Eckert says.
Finally, regardless of whether an enterprise operates in a local or global environment, there's a need to understand how data travels and where it is stored. Cloud computing and third-party servers may require remote access through VPNs or an encrypted network. In some cases, it may be necessary to encrypt data on the mobile device as well.
For example, some organizations temporarily store data in an encrypted cache on a mobile device or render files read-only based on the device profile or a machine ID. As Eckert puts it: "It's important to approach the issue from a number of directions but ultimately maintain a focus on the data."
In the end, one thing is certain. Mobile device management has emerged as an essential component of IT. The opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of smartphones, tablets and other devices will continue to grow in the months and years ahead.
"We have reached the point where almost every IT project has a mobile component," Eckert concludes. "Executives must understand that the mobile infrastructure and governance models they adopt now will play a major role in determining the shape of their organization in the future."

Meghan Daum: What's with the 'hiker hate'?
The story of Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal and Sarah Shourd, the American hikers who in July 2009 crossed the border — inadvertently, all evidence suggests — from Iraqi Kurdistan into Iran and were imprisoned for espionage, is back in the headlines. Shourd, who was released in September on humanitarian grounds and after paying $500,000 in bail, has been promoting a "rolling hunger strike" to remind us that Bauer and Fattal remain in Tehran's Evin Prison without a trial date or access to their lawyer.

James Brown's son finds solace in Detroit
By Steve Furay
Special to the Michigan Citizen
"Soul Brother Number One" is a title that could only be held by one man, the great James Brown. Brown helped spark a revolution of his generation by providing the most dynamic and electrifying soundtrack for Afro-consciousness the world had ever heard. Now, almost seven years after his death, his family continues to be legally ensnared over his music catalogue's earnings. For the sake of Brown's legacy, his son, Daryl Brown, is now speaking out.
"I'm on my father's side, number one," Brown told the Michigan Citizen. "And I want people to know this is what they're doing to James Brown. He belongs to the world."
Daryl Brown spent this past summer and most of the fall in Detroit to build connections for his own music, celebrating the legacy of the city's pioneers from the Motown sound to funk to today's hip hop. After six years dealing with challenges to his father's legal will in South Carolina, he came to Detroit to help regain inspiration for music and to prepare for another round of legal battles to secure the future of his father's estate.
Brown is a drummer and guitar player who spent eight years with his father's band, touring the globe twice. He says he had a strong and loving relationship with his father, with an admiration for the way he was able to touch the lives of others. His mother, Bea Ford, was three months pregnant with Brown when she recorded her hit duet "You've Got the Power" with James Brown in 1960.
"The people of Detroit loved James Brown; they really loved him," he says. "All this legacy that is here, it's fueling the fire. These are the people that paved the way for me. I wanted to see certain things and feel that vibe."
In contention has been the "I Feel Good" trust, a charity established by James Brown to help underprivileged youth in South Carolina and Georgia receive an education. This year, the South Carolina Supreme Court overruled a settlement reached by the state's attorney general for control of the trust, stating that the AG's office had overexerted their authority in creating a settlement that went against the original will.
The case is deeply complex and emotionally fueled, dividing family members during a period when they should be working together to take the next step towards growing James Brown's legacy. Daryl Brown cites South Carolina's history of racial injustice toward African Americans as a factor in the legal proceedings.
"Roaches in the dark," he says, "as soon as you turn on the light they start scattering. I'm the only one right now that's really turning on this light. We're making headway, but right now we need all the help we can get. I'm telling you now, that 'good 'ol boy' system down there is terrible."
The case has been well documented by journalist Sue Summer of the Newberry Observer. Many articles in the South Carolina newspaper detailing the case are available online.
"We talk to each other once or twice a week," says Brown of Summer. "She's really affected by it because she's a humanitarian, she loves the children."
James Brown's legacy is vital to the late 20th century's global struggle of Black empowerment, providing the soundtrack to the era with statements like "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud," made during a time when most popular culture leaned towards silencing Black voices. His determination toward perfection inspired musicians and other cultural icons to add "Soul Power" to their messages of liberation to the world.
"He was a great motivator, he would get to the core of your soul and make the best come out of you," says Brown of his father. "If he was a football coach, they would win all the time."
Part of his father's mastery, he says, was his passion for being as successful as possible in the music industry, securing his title as the "hardest working man in show business".
"My father learned everything he could about this business," he says. "He was the first to own his own publishing. He had radio stations, property, land, restaurants."
Now, these legal actions could end up costing the family millions of dollars in court and attorneys' fees. Daryl Brown says Detroit should be able to relate to the struggle of the family in protecting his father's legacy, as the city's own bankruptcy and emergency manager takeover has damaged the reputation and left residents in a legal bind.
Brown has now returned to South Carolina and Georgia to continue working on the case, but plans to return to Motown next year to make music. He wants Detroit and the world to stand up for his father, as he so bravely, and proudly, once did for them.
"This is what they're doing to our James Brown," he says, "that was my dad, but he belonged to the world."

It's a strange and wonderful life when all a girl thinks of in Paris is yogurt. Pots. Because the French are up there with the Greeks and Turks in making super delicious, thick-set yogurt as this young lady (me) found out recently. In my fine opinion, they beat all the competition primarily because of the fine receptacles the said dairy comes in, arguably the finest glass and glazed terracotta pots 'moi' has ever seen.
And I'm not the only one who thinks so, Carolyn Jung of Food Gal says:
See that creamy, dreamy yogurt above? (She shows a photo)
People drive miles and miles for it. Because once you've had full-fat French yogurt, there's no going back.

Melamine Found in U.S.-Made Animal Feed Ingredients
8:04 AM MDT | August 6, 2007 | Esther D'Amico
The FDA is alerting domestic feed makers to be "vigilant" in controlling quality in their supply chains and to monitor for any improper additives, after discovering that a U.S. additive producer was adding melamine to certain animal and fish feed ingredients to improve the binding properties of pelleted feed. The agency's warning comes amid ongoing investigations by FDA and other regulators involving imported pet food ingredients tainted with melamine (CW, May 23, p. 24). FDA has announced a voluntary recall of products made by feed ingredient...

Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNCR), the mobile innovation company that provides personal cloud solutions and software-based activation for connected devices across the globe, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012.
"The company's strong business momentum contributed to revenue and profitability that were above the high end of our expectations for the fourth quarter," said Stephen G. Waldis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Synchronoss. "2012 was a transformational year for Synchronoss. Mobile operators began to solidify their cloud strategies, and we achieved our goal of winning cloud services engagements with several of the largest mobile operators around the globe. In addition, our recent acquisition of NewBay further expands our market share, our Personal Cloud platform functionality and our customer relationships."
Waldis added, "As we look ahead, we are very optimistic about Synchronoss' future as we are positioned to take advantage of certain powerful industry drivers such as the growth in connected devices and cloud services. We remain on track to deploy our Personal Cloud platform with multiple major operators over the course of 2013, and we believe Synchronoss is poised to deliver strong growth on a sustained basis as our customers launch, scale and expand their cloud services."
On a GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues of $73.2 million, representing an increase of 18% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross profit was $41.9 million and income from operations was $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net income applicable to common stock was $3.4 million, leading to diluted earnings per share of $0.09, compared to $0.21 for the fourth quarter of 2011.On a non-GAAP basis, Synchronoss reported net revenues, which adds back the purchase accounting adjustment related to revenues for certain acquisitions, of $73.9 million, an increase of 19% compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $44.2 million, representing a gross margin of 60%. Income from operations was $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a year-over-year increase of 18% and an operating margin of 25%. Net income was $11.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, down from $13.3 million in the year ago period due to a higher tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2012 caused by the delayed renewal of federal research and development tax credits in the United States. Diluted earnings per share were $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2012, above the high-end of our expectations and compared to $0.34 for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Would not make again. Filling was really bland and the crumb crust was soggy from the filling, making it difficult to serve. Ginger cream was good, but couldn't save the dessert.

Governor Patrick Discusses Importance of College Affordability to Future Growth at Student Financial Aid Day

BOSTON – Tuesday, February 26, 2013 – Governor Deval Patrick today addressed hundreds of college students at Student Financial Aid Day before they fanned out across the State House seeking legislative support to increase state funding for financial aid programs. Governor Patrick's FY14 proposed budget creates opportunity for students and their families across the Commonwealth by making college more affordable and accessible.
"Putting a college education in reach of all of our students grows jobs and unlocks economic opportunity," said Governor Patrick. "Somewhere here today is the person who is going to cure cancer; or take us to Mars; or invent the next iPad. Somewhere here today is the nurse who is going to care for us; the craftsman who is going to rebuild the skyline of Boston; the musician who is going to draw thousands to Symphony Hall. I want that to happen here in Massachusetts. We have made great strides in higher education, but there is more to do to make sure everyone can get to college, no matter their income."
The Governor's FY14 budget calls for renewed investment in education in order to create opportunity across the Commonwealth and to keep the Massachusetts economy growing. The proposed budget would provide universal access to high quality early education for children across the state, from birth through age five; fully fund K-12 education and allow for extended school days in high-need schools; make college more affordable and accessible for high school graduates; and allow community colleges to expand their efforts to provide students with the knowledge and skill training needed to succeed in the workplace.
The Administration will invest a total of $6.79 billion in education in FY14, including over $550 million in new targeted investments that will bring Chapter 70 funding to $4.39 billion, the highest in state history. These investments also include $152 million in FY14 to make college more affordable and accessible for students across the Commonwealth by:
- Significantly increasing funding to the MASSGrant program, which provides financial assistance for students demonstrating the greatest need;
- Expanding the Completion Incentive Grant Fund, which allows students enrolled at certain campuses to receive a maximum of $8,000 over four years for credits earned towards their degree;
- Providing annual increases for the community college funding formula developed as part of the Governor's community college proposal, totaling $20 million in FY14; and
- Furthering the Commonwealth's support for funding at least 50 percent of the educational costs at the University of Massachusetts.
"The Governor's proposal would go far to turn the dream of a college education into reality for students experiencing financial hardship," said Senior Deputy Commissioner for Access and Student Financial Assistance Clantha McCurdy. "Too many students tell us they are forced to leave college or reduce their course loads to work longer hours to pay for school. This investment would allow greater numbers of students to focus on their studies with the goal of graduating in a timely fashion."
In addition, the Governor's education plan includes:
- $131 million investment in the early education and care system will provide funding to work to eliminate the Department of Early Education and Care's (EEC) current birth to age-five waitlist which is now at 30,000 children statewide; expand initiatives to ensure the highest educational quality among providers of early education and care; assist early educators and providers with attaining higher levels of proficiency, skill and quality; increase educational programs and supports for parents and family members to further engage them in their child's success; and expand efforts to provide comprehensive support services to children and their families.
- $226 million in increased Chapter 70 local aid will hold every district harmless for aid; keep every district at foundation levels of spending; finish the Chapter 70 equity reforms of 2007; guarantee an increase of $25 per pupil for every district; calculate Out of District Special Education at $35,000 per year, an increase of $25,000 per year in prior years to appropriately compensate districts for the costs of providing special education; and eliminate the cap of pre-kindergarteners included in enrollment for Chapter 70.
- $5 million for a targeted expanded learning time initiative, allowing for middle school students in high-need schools to have the additional time and resources they need to build differentiated systems of learning, and ensuring that students have access to enrichment programs that will enhance their ability to succeed both in and out of the classroom. The proposal also includes an additional $9 million in funding for comprehensive supports to students and their families in Gateway Cities.
Today's Student Financial Aid Day event was organized by the Association for Independent Colleges and Universities (AICUM) and the Massachusetts Student Financial Aid Association (MASFAA.) AICUM represents 35 independent colleges and universities in the Commonwealth; MASFAA represents financial aid administrators at both public and private post-secondary institutions across the state.

The other week I compiled a calculator to determine what bar tint color to set a UINavigationBar to if you want the blur effect on iOS 7. This works well, but only if your RGB values are >= 102 – because Apple adjusts the RGB you set the bar to.
Lately I've been experimenting with darker colors, those with RGB values under 102. There is a work around, however it requires some tricks.
One of the new effects in iOS7 is blurred content. At WWDC this year they were showing off how to do this with snapshots and image filtering. The downside to that is that it's a static image and wont change with the content behind the view.
Back when I owned an iPhone 3GS I often noticed many blurry looking apps, some from small developers and some from Apple themselves (check out the Sales + Updates UISegmentedControl in the iTunes Connect app on an iPhone 3G/3GS). It wasn't until I started noticing it in my apps that I realised exactly what the problem was. It's caused by a UIView having it's origin or size values containing a decimal place. For example if the origin of a view was '5' then it would look crisp, but if it was shifted to '5.5' then it would be blurred to make it seem half way between 5 and 6 because there's not enough pixels to actually do this. If you are testing on the iPhone 4 then you will miss this as it has enough pixels to actually have a view sit between between the two points. The most common cause for this is setting the view's center position.

Thousands of Chickens Killed in Fire
GALT, Iowa (AP) -- Thousands of chickens have been killed in a fire at an egg farm in northern Iowa.
The fire was reported Sunday at the Centrum Valley Farms' operation in Galt. Company officials say no farm employees were injured.
Centrum Valley Farms Chief Operating Officer Steve Boomsma said in a release that the fire began in a barn where about 75,000 hens were housed. Boomsma said that in addition to that loss, smoke from the fire resulted in the loss of a flock of 75,000 hens in an adjacent barn.
The fire cause is being investigated.

Obedience occurs when you change your opinions, judgments, or actions because someone in a position of authority told you to. The key aspect to note about obedience is that just because you have changed in some way, it does not mean that you now agree with the change. For example, if you are a democratic senator, and the president came to you and demanded that you vote for a something that you were not in favor, and you did go ahead and vote the way the president said, you would be obeying (or displaying obedient behavior). However, this does not mean that you now agree with the way you voted or what you voted for....only that you did what you were told to do.

Hi, there is a bug in the procedure EventListTimerHandler() in HTEvtLst.c. There is missing a handler for the connect timeout. I guess the connenct timeout is only of use under windows. Without that additional handler code, the windows event based system stucks from time to time. Thus, we should add it. Please check the code below. I added the code that is labeled /* Check for connect timeout */. Regards, Jens /* ** Event timeout handler ** If an event didn't occur before the timeout then call it explicitly ** indicating that it timed out. */ PRIVATE int EventListTimerHandler (HTTimer * timer, void * param, HTEventType type) { SockEvents * sockp = (SockEvents *) param; HTEvent * event = NULL; int code; /* Check for read timeout */ if (sockp->timeouts[HTEvent_INDEX(HTEvent_READ)] == timer) { event = sockp->events[HTEvent_INDEX(HTEvent_READ)]; HTTRACE(THD_TRACE, "Event.......
