SAPs Agassi: SOA Flexibility Will Stoke Innovation
SAPs Agassi: SOA Flexibility Will Stoke Innovation
New OrleansExecutive board member Shai Agassi used his keynote address at SAPs Sapphire user conference here to review where the company has been over the past three years and to show how those efforts will lead itand its customersinto the next 15 years.
Agassi said SAP AG will use Web services as a cornerstone to build a service-oriented architecture (SOA)and will hope that the two-thirds of its 20,000 customers still on its older R/3 enterprise resource planning (ERP) system will come along for the ride.
The SOA, branded Enterprise Services Architecture by SAP last year, will be enabled by the companys integration stack, NetWeaver.
Also at Sapphire, SAPs CEO is urging users to develop their own roadmaps for building an SOA. Click here to read more.
But Web services arent the whole story, Agassi said.
"Everything that is new solves every single problem," Agassi, an executive board member with SAP, said at the Sapphire conference. "A year ago, [the thought was] that Web services would solve everything. We truly believe its here to stay, but its just the foundation."
Click here to read a recent eWEEK interview with Agassi.
Saying Web services provide flexibility but are not enough on their own, Agassi said a services-based platform is required that can handle all of the components Web services deliver.
Moving to an SOA will bring a new wave of innovation along with new processes that SAP couldnt touch on in the past because the technology was not in place, Agassi said.
Agassi, who is based in Palo Alto, Calif., did not suggest that SAP would build all of the new processes. He said he believes thousands of companies will take part in new development efforts that spring from SOAs.
Next Page: Flexibility is necessary for IT planning, Agassi says.
Flexibility in Planning
But very few companies will be able to provide complete solutions to handle all of the components on a single platform, he said.
"I predict a handful of players will be able to provide an aggregated solution that comes from thousands of vendors revolving around a single platform," Agassi said. "We believe in this so much, we bet our company on that model."
The platform, of course, is NetWeaver.
Read more here about SAPs NetWeaver 2004 announcement.
In terms of business issues, process execution time is no longer a concern for NetWeaver, Agassi said, adding that the focus has shifted to shortening the time to change management and change processes.
"It now takes 18 to 24 months to execute on a [IT] plan," he said. "In that time, you can go out of business. What you need here is not outsourcing your CIOthat doesnt provide much flexibility. You need more flexibility."
The core issue with enjoying more flexibilityand moving to a services-based architectureis just that: Users dont want their core applications to change. Agassi said he asked CIOs how often they wanted their core applications altered, and the answer was, "Once or twice every decade."
When he asked the CIOs how often they wanted to innovate or introduce new technologies, the answer was, "About every quarter."
"This is a survival question, not a cost-cutting question," Agassi said. "What did we do about it? We built an enterprise services architecture."
Companies can innovate on top of their core applications through the addition of Composite Applications, or xApps, he said.
Agassi predicted there would be 2,000 composite applications introduced from partners in this decade.
The hitch for customers not wanting to move forward with SAPs vision is rising operating costs, according to Agassi.
"If you dont do these things, make the change, the cost of operation goes higher and higher and higher," he said. "What were talking about is significant cost reduction in operating costs."
Click here to read about SAPs work on a common application base to migrate its R/3 customers to service-oriented architecture.
While Agassi told customers that developing their own SOAs would not happen overnight, he said the move would serve them well in the future.
"What were asking you to do is really think big. Plan ahead. If youre a CEO, suspend disbelief. Figure out the No. 1 process you want to fix, and do that," Agassi said. "[Our] technology platform and business objects key to running a business are the best way for you to sustain your ability to innovate in a sustainable cost structure that will take you into the next decade."

Work is rather monotonic however after first two years you start managing people and this creates a completely different feel. Also working and doing exams at the same time is quite difficult tooAdvice to ManagementAdvice

-Some personalities in the NY office are difficultAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Get rid of the "old boys' club". Start being more transparent with employees. Use of the title "staff" is a little demeaning, especially considering the amount of grunt work staff have to do but never end up hitting the billable charge code. Keep the town halls and extracurricular funding, but be more realistic about utilization goals. These goals cause me to either a.) be inefficient during trough periods so that I have enough work to do to hit 40 hours or b.) decide between booking all hours during busy periods and break the budget, or eat hours and thus, not hit utilization goals. Keep on winning high profile clients, but make sure that the fee you're charging them is realistic to cover costs.RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

So I still have not downloaded any pics from my camera and my new video software is not yet here (but I finally ordered it from amazon) So the best I can do is two little, low quality pics taken by my computer.
First photo is Barrett tripodding (can I make that into a verb?) i.e. it's him supporting himself while sitting, no help from mom required! He can even sit completely unsupported for very short periods of time now!
The second photo is just funny if you read the shirt... It's actually a onesie which was apparently so cheaply made that the size 12 month onesie shrunk so much I can't snap it on a 5 month old! My friends bought it in Las Vegas while there on spring break (and I was home, 37 weeks pg) They were concerned I would be offended by it but still couldn't resist buying it :P

He's doing really well, crawling started just under 6 months, standing up a week later, and just under 7 months he started "cruising" (well not really it's more of a funny sideways crab walk). He's said "Mama" a few times but I don't think he means me (he once said it to the radiator); and mostly it's just "dadada" or other sorts of funny noises. The only thing still not going well is solid foods - he just doesn't want them! I guess he'll come round to that at some point!

Aussie ETFs Bank on Asia Ties, Natural Resources
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Historically speaking, over the last century Australia's stock market has outperformed all others and has offered the lowest volatility among all of its peers. As for the future, there are three forces that could enable the nation down under to continue to shine.
According to a study conducted by Credit Suisse, from 1900 to 2009 Australia's markets posted returns after inflation per year of 7.5% while witnessing a standard deviation of 18.2%, the highest returns and the second lowest volatility of the 19 major, mostly developed markets studied. In comparison, during the same time period, the U.S. stock market made a 6.2% return with a standard deviation of 20.4%. What this demonstrates is that investors would have made more money and taken less risk by investing in Australian markets.
One force that could enable Australia to remain prosperous is its close ties to Asia, says Howard Gold of MarketWatch. Half of Australia's exports go to Asia, with China being its largest trading partner. With economic growth prospects in Asia, particularly China, remaining relatively healthy for the next 10 years, Australia is set to reap the benefits.
A second force that could add to Australia's appeal is its sound and stable financial system. Australia has a handful of large banks which are known to be highly conservative and straightforward. In fact, Aussie banks are among the world's best performers and were hardly influenced by the global financial crisis. Additionally, Australia's central bank has raised interest rates six times over the last year enabling the nation to witness an expected budget deficit of a hair over 4.2% of gross domestic product. Lastly, public debt in the continent remains healthy at less than 18% of GDP.The last force that makes Australia appealing is its vast supply of natural resources. The country has tons of coal, iron ore, uranium, zinc and gold. In fact, it is home to mining giants Rio Tinto (RTP) and BHP Billiton (BHP). Additionally, Australia produces oil and natural gas as well as wheat and other agricultural products. As economies around the world grow and the global population continues to increase these resources are likely to see increased demand. Some ways to gain access to Australia include:
- iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund (EWA), which has 74 holdings with the following sector breakdowns: 44.35% to financials, 26.4% to materials, 10.19% to consumer staples and 6.67% to energy.
- WisdomTree Pacific ex-Japan High Yielding Equity Fund (DNH), which allocates 90.5% of its assets to Australia.
- WisdomTree Pacific ex-Japan Total Div Report (DND), which allocates 59.2% of its assets to Australia.
- PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Jp Portfolio ETF (PAF), which allocates 41.2% of its assets to Australia. Its top holdings include BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto.

Hi Till,
Gallery is installed under web/gallery. Yeah, the re-write code looks fine, but it's not finding the pages when I have this file in place.
It's actually a bit weirder than that. Let's say I open the main gallery, it opens fine, but none of the pictures are displayed. When I look at their URL's they are indeed rewritten.
What's a good way to debug this?

Cords, Wires and Tripping Hazards
Hopefully, your work space or area does not have any wiring messes as bad as the one above. Cords, cables and wires can be serious tripping hazards and since wires carry electricity, they pose a shock and fire hazard, too.
Extension cords - they are common but must be used with care and ideally should not be used in place of permanent wiring. Please evaluate any extension cords used in your work area. Eliminate them if possible and if not make sure they do not create a tripping hazard, are in good condition and the right size for the appliances that are plugged into them. Ideally, extension cords should be viewed as very temporary and never used where there is heavy foot or other traffic.
Surge Protectors - How do they Work?
A surge protector works by clamping or short circuiting excess voltage and converting the excess voltage energy into heat. This clamping action prevents higher than normal voltage from flowing through the electronic devices plugged into the surge protector, voltages that might otherwise damage the equipment. Because the clamping action produces heat, it is important not to cover surge protectors or place them near flammable materials. Because they have cords, is it also important not to create any tripping hazards when using them.
General Safety Recommendations:
- Route the cords and cables in your work area so that they are not a tripping hazard to you or anyone else BUT, never do this by hiding them under rugs or other similar floor coverings.
- Check all power cords periodically and replace any frayed or damaged cords.
- Make sure wires and cords are not being crushed, stretched or kinked because all these problems can create shock and fire hazards.
- If you are using any extension cords make sure they are heavy enough to handle the load of the appliances they are feeding. Only three wire grounded heavy duty cords should be used in the workplace. Avoid the two wire "zip" type extension cord.
- Make sure surge protectors are not covered or near flammables.

Fitch Ratings, the third-biggest of the major credit rating agencies, downgraded seven global banks based in Europe and the United States, citing "increased challenges" in the financial markets.
Fitch cut long-term ratings on Barclays and Credit Suisse AG by two notches to 'A' from 'AA-'. The agency cut by one notch its long-term ratings on Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank AG and Goldman Sachs group.
The financial market challenges the banks face "result from both economic developments as well as a myriad of regulatory changes", Fitch said in an announcement issued shortly after regular market hours in New York.
In a separate announcement about the downgrade of Citigroup, Fitch cited "policy momentum" against using taxpayer money to support banks during a crisis.
Fitch's actions follow downgrades by Standard & Poor's of several major banks at the end of last month.
S&P's moves came as part of an overhaul of its ratings methods to incorporate lessons learned in the financial crisis. Moody's also issued downgrades recently.
Jerry Dubrowski, a spokesman for Bank of America, which had ratings cut by all three agencies, said in an email, "This decision is driven more by concerns about the global economy than the specific credit quality of Bank of America. We continue to maintain strong liquidity levels and to build capital."
Fitch on Thursday also affirmed its long-term 'A' ratings on JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG, as well as its 'A+' rating on Societe Generale.

Hospital opts out of aid-in-dyingJune 25,2013TOWNSHEND Vermonts smallest hospital has become the latest one to opt out of the states new aid-in-dying law, but hospital officials expect to revisit the issue soon.
Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend made the decision Friday.
The law allows doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it. Most hospitals are expected, at least for the time being, to opt out of implementing it.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported Grace Cottage Hospital administrators expect to re-examine the matter within 90 days. For now, theyll work out the details of accommodating terminally ill patients who request lethal doses of medication.
Vermonts largest hospital, Fletcher Allen, also has opted out for now to give administrators a chance to develop a thoughtful, compassionate policy that will respect our patients and providers.MORE IN This Just InFive New England states have agreed on a common method to compare education data from one state...

DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C Standard FAQ
DisplayPort 1.3 Standard FAQ
DisplayPort General FAQ
A: VESA, the Video Electronics Standards Association, has published a new Standard that enables the USB Type-C connector and cable to support the DisplayPort interface and audio/video (A/V) transport.
A: The USB Type-C Standard includes provision for Alternate Modes, which involves repurposing of the connector pins and cable wires for other interface types. Discovery of Alternate Mode support and enablement is performed through leveraging the use of the USB Power Delivery protocol.
A: When using the DisplayPort Alternate Mode, the USB Type-C connector becomes the single system connection point for data, full performance AV interface, and power, either combined or individually. DisplayPort will enable the USB Type-C connector to support video resolutions of 5K and beyond.
A: VESA's development of the DisplayPort Alt Mode for USB Type-C Standard was developed in collaboration with the USB 3.0 Promoter group.
A: Yes. The DisplayPort Alternate Mode supports full DisplayPort capability over a USB Type-C connector, including 5K video at 60 frames per second with 24 bits per pixel as recently enabled by DisplayPort version 1.3.
A: Yes. The DisplayPort Alternate Mode is supported by the standard full-featured USB Type-C cable. DisplayPort, USB data, and power delivery can all co-exist on such cable.
A: Yes. Existing DisplayPort devices will be able to connect to newer devices using the USB Type-C connector and supporting the DisplayPort Alternate Mode, using a new type of USB Type-C to DisplayPort converter cable. The converter cable will have the ability to be plugged in either direction, meaning the USB Type-C connector could be either on the video source or display sink device, with the DisplayPort connector at the other end. Both types of DisplayPort plugs will be supported (the standard DisplayPort and mini DisplayPort connectors), and of course the USB Type-C connector will still support reversible cable orientation.
A: Yes. An adaptor will be available to connect a DockPort capable source device that uses a USB Type-C connector to a DockPort Hub, which uses a tethered cable with a mini DisplayPort connector.
A: Yes. The DisplayPort Alternate Mode will include the protocol conversion capability that is already a part of the DisplayPort Standard. This will enable cables that include the USB Type-C to HDMI adapter, as well as USB Type-C to DVI and VGA. Such cables will use the DisplayPort signal from the USB Type-C connector and perform the protocol conversion within the cable. To the consumer, this will simply appear to be a cable with a USB Type-C plug on one end, and an HDMI, DVI, or VGA plug on the other end. The conversion circuit will be built into the display-end plug.
Such protocol converter function can also be integrated into a hub device, where the hub is connected to the DisplayPort source using either a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable, or USB Type-C to DisplayPort conversion cable. The hub would then include an HDMI, DVI, and/or VGA output.
A: DisplayPort is a video interface standard administered by VESA, the Video Electronics Standards Association. DisplayPort is the new generation A/V interface developed by the GPU/display industry segment and currently undergoing rapid market adoption. DisplayPort enables high display performance and versatility, a high degree of system integration, and greater interoperability between various device types.
A: Because the USB Type-C connector is designed to be the next generated USB interface, it will appear on Smart Phones, Tablets, PCs, Notebooks, Docking Stations, Displays, Peripherals – Replaces all existing USB ports.
A: Products should be available in 2015.
A: VESA is working with the USB-IF on port identification logos.
A: No video data will be received by the display, so there will be no image on the screen. Doing this will not harm your device.
A: The USB Type-C to Type-C cable is reversible, and so is the USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter cable. These can be plugged in either direction. The USB Type-C to HDMI, DVI, VGA, and DockPort converters need to be plugged into a video source device that has the USB Type-C connector.
A: A Thunderbolt connector on a Mac or PC uses the standard mini DP connector and supports DisplayPort as well as Thunderbolt. So for the Thunderbolt connector, you can use the standard mini DP to USB Type-C adapter cable to connect to the monitor.
A: Yes. VESA and the USB-IF are working on a comprehensive certification program.
A: Not at all. VESA develops and publishes standards like DisplayPort prior to their actual deployment in the field. DisplayPort 1.2a represents the latest interconnect available to consumers from manufacturers. The new DisplayPort capabilities included in DisplayPort 1.3 will now begin a process of hardware development and certification that will result in such capabilities becoming available to consumers in a range of products over the next few years.
A: By providing the option to support a new higher data transfer rate known as HBR3 (High Bit Rate 3), which provides a link rate of 8.1 Gbps per lane, DisplayPort 1.3 offers a 50% increase in total link rate to 32.4 Gbps when using all 4 lanes in the DisplayPort cable. Allowing for data coding overhead, this provides a total data transport capacity of 25.92 Gbps.
A: Yes, when including the new HBR3 link rate option, with DisplayPort 1.3 a 4K UHD display can operated at a 120Hz refresh rate using 24 bit color, or a 96Hz refresh rate using 30-bit color.
A: Yes, by using the new HBR3 link rate, DisplayPort 1.3 will support 8K displays with a 60Hz refresh rate at 24 bit color, however, the visibly lossy 4:2:0 pixel format must be used. 4:2:0 is normally acceptable for the playback of pre-recorded content, such as movies, which uses 4:2:0 pixel format for compression, but is not desirable for rendered graphics from computer or other graphics generating video sources.
A: By utilizing the new higher HBR3 bit rate, DisplayPort 1.3 supports 8K x 4K displays using a 4:2:0 pixel format without the use of additional image compression. To support 4:4:4 pixel format at 8K x 4K, future versions of DisplayPort will employ a 'visually lossless' compression scheme.
A: Yes, as DisplayPort 1.3 with HBR3 becomes available for production, we should see computers and displays that support 5K x 3K using a single cable.
A: Products that support new DisplayPort features defined in DisplayPort 1.3 will be available in 2015. First implementations will likely use DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB Type-C.
A: Vendor packaging and on-line information should indicate the DisplayPort features supported for each product.
A: Yes. All of the features associated with DisplayPort 1.3 will be available for the DisplayPort Alt Mode.
A: We expect that other interconnect technologies that use DisplayPort as a video transport will adopt the DisplayPort 1.3 features.
A: DisplayPort 1.3 with HBR3 will support two 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) displays at 60Hz refresh and 24-bit color, using the VESA video timing that is used with DisplayPort connections. However you will also need to check if the video source device will support such monitor configuration.
A: Yes, DisplayPort 1.3 enables support for HDCP version 2.2, and this will be a required for 4K@60 content playback. This requirement will apply to DisplayPort-to-HDMI 2.0 converters as well (including Type-C to HDMI 2.0 converters).
A: Existing DisplayPort source devices, such as PCs, already support HDMI televisions up to 1080p through the use of a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. DisplayPort 1.3 defines new adapters that will enable DisplayPort source devices to support HDMI 2.0, enabling the support for 4K UHD with up to 60Hz refresh and up to full 24 bit color with the 4:4:4 pixel format. These adapters do not require the new HBR3 link rate, requiring only HBR2, but will depend on some of the protocols within the DisplayPort 1.3 Standard. Some DisplayPort 1.2a systems will be upgradable through firmware to support this new feature. These new adapters will also be available in DisplayPort Alt Mode over the USB Type-C connector.
A: Yes.
A: Yes.
A: Yes. This was previously known as "Free-Sync" from AMD.
A: Using the DisplayPort Multi-Stream feature, combined with the new HBR3 link rate options, DisplayPort 1.3 can enable the following example display configurations, without the use of compression:
• Two 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) displays
• Up to Four 2560 x 1600 displays (see note 2 below)
• Up to Seven 1080p or 1920 x 1200 displays (see note 2 below)
• One 4K UHD display with up to Two 2560 x 1600 displays
(1) The examples above assume the following:
• HBR3 and Multi-Stream supported by both the video source and displays
• 60Hz refresh with 24 bit color, using the 4:4:4 pixel format and VESA monitor timing
(2) The number of connected displays might be limited by video source capability. Typical personal computer support a maximum of 3 to 6 displays.
A. No. Thunderbolt technology actually leverages DisplayPort to deliver HD video to displays, helping to move media faster and simplify connections between devices. The support of DisplayPort within the Thunderbolt interface further shows the level of commitment towards DisplayPort within the PC industry. DisplayPort over Thunderbolt continues to support existing DisplayPort monitors as well as DVI, HDMI and VGA video output.
A. Both Apple and Intel remain committed to DisplayPort. Apple continues to be one of the largest users of DisplayPort and Intel announced in December 2010 that it planned to accelerate adoption of DisplayPort. Intel was joined in that announcement by AMD, Dell, LG Display, Lenovo and Samsung Electronics LCD Business.
Likewise, industry analysts remain positive on DisplayPort:
Research firm In-Stat predicts a 100 percent increase in external DisplayPort device shipments from 2009 to 2014.
According to IDC, DisplayPort penetration will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 106 percent between 2009 and 2014.
IDC estimates that DisplayPort will be on 89.5 percent of commercial desktops in 2014 and DisplayPort's penetration in commercial notebooks will increase to 95 percent in 2014.
A. With the publication of DisplayPort Standard Ver.1.2a, the DisplayPort standard Ver.1.1a standard was retired.
A. PC manufacturers are offering DisplayPort in notebooks and desktops as a single connector solution for connecting to all types of displays, including current and older generation monitors, projectors and HDTVs. DisplayPort is also available as a standard feature on the latest monitors and projectors.
A. Customers have been asking for smaller connectors, easier set up, thinner cables, fewer cables, higher color depths, higher refresh rates, higher resolutions, digital projectors, thinner and sleeker displays, and ubiquitous display connectivity from a single connection–all features that DisplayPort provides. DisplayPort is the smart choice for future PC and display compatibility.
A. The main product benefits that DisplayPort provides are higher performance as a standard feature, multiple display support from a single connector, ubiquitous connectivity to any display device, audio and display over a single cable, and an ultra small connector that is perfect for space-constrained applications like ultra thin notebooks, netbooks and multi-connector graphics cards. DisplayPort also enables ultra sleek, easy to use direct drive flat panel monitors. DisplayPort's micro-packet architecture sets the stage for future display features such as single-cable, multi-function monitor connectivity and daisy-chained displays for improved multi-monitor connectivity and usage. DisplayPort provides the ultimate range of connectivity options enabling a single connector on the PC to connect to monitors, projectors and HDTVs that may have VGA, DVI, or HDMI inputs, making DisplayPort an easy, universal and cross-application solution.
A. DisplayPort was created to be a universal replacement for separate PC display interfaces including LVDS, DVI and VGA. DisplayPort does include many features important in consumer electronics, including surround sound audio and content protection for Blu-ray disc support.
A. VESA has developed a DisplayPort Compliance and Interoperability program to assure that products carrying the DisplayPort certified logo interoperate successfully. Look for the "DisplayPort Certified Logo" on DisplayPort products.
A. Yes.
A. DisplayPort and HDMI are very different technically, and each has a different product focus. HDMI is the de-facto connection in the home theatre and is used widely on HDTVs as an A/V interface. Some PCs and monitors include HDMI to enable connectivity with HDTVs and other consumer electronics gear. While DisplayPort has a rich consumer electronics feature set, it is expected to complement and not necessarily replace, HDMI. DisplayPort is focused on PC, monitor, and projector usages as a replacement for DVI and VGA where high performance and backwards and forwards compatibility over standard cables are valued. The DisplayPort connector is compatible with HDMI signals, enabling product interoperability. A dual-mode PC that implements both HDMI and DisplayPort only needs a simple DisplayPort cable adapter to make an HDMI connection to an HDTV.
A. DisplayPort 1.2 supports HDCP v1.3 ensuring that protected content such as Blu-ray Disc movies may be easily viewed over a DisplayPort connection that includes HDCP support.
A. Several factors are driving the need to replace DVI and VGA within the industry. VGA is becoming increasingly difficult to implement as silicon process geometries continue to shrink with the latest chipsets and GPUs, and it is anticipated that VGA will become an extra cost feature in the near future. VGA does not have content protection, and it's usage may be curtailed due to digital content license agreements. The large VGA and DVI connectors with thumb screws are difficult and sometimes impossible to accommodate in the latest ultra-sleek notebook and netbook designs, and connecting and securing these cables to monitors is difficult in confined spaces. Both the DVI and VGA specifications are frozen, meaning no changes may be made to make enhancements necessary for their continued support in future products. In addition, Intel and AMD expect that analog display outputs such as Video Graphics Array (VGA) and the low voltage differential signaling technology (LVDS) panel interface would no longer be supported in their product lines by 2015.
A. DisplayPort is the ideal replacement for legacy connectors since it supports the higher resolutions, refresh rates, and color depths found in monitors and the long distance performance and easy plug & play experience needed in projectors over standard cables. Since DisplayPort uses the latest low voltage technology, it is easily supported in the next generation silicon processes found in the latest chipsets, GPUs, and display controllers, and it is an extensible VESA standard. Many of DisplayPort's unique benefits, such as ultra sleek direct drive monitor design and single cable multifunction monitor connectivity are not available with alternatives such as HDMI. Also, business and enterprise customers may not want to implement all of the consumer electronics features that are required in HDMI products. High resolution support and high performance are standard features with DisplayPort, whereas these are optional or premium features with other interfaces. DisplayPort is designed to meet the future needs of the PC industry while preserving connectivity with DVI, VGA, and HDMI.
A. DisplayPort simplifies the cable purchase experience by standardizing on performance. You no longer need to pay a premium to ensure that you have the right cable for your display application, or be uncertain as to whether your cable will work with your display. DisplayPort Certified cables are assured to deliver the highest resolutions, fastest refresh rates, and deepest color depths as needed by your monitor or projector. DisplayPort delivers the highest audio, display, and bi-directional communications performance in the industry without requiring consumers to buy special cables. With DisplayPort, high performance is standard.
A. DisplayPort's high performance is important for enabling new digital display experiences. For example, DisplayPort can easily support high end monitors featuring Resolution up to 4K x 2K at 60 FPS and 24 bpp, Refresh rate up to 240 FPS for 1080p at 24 bpp, Color Depth up to 48 bpp, even at 2560 x 1600 at 60 FPS and Color Accuracy (provides in-band color profile data). In addition, DisplayPort enables long cable support, up to 15 meters, enabling a much anticipated easy plug and play digital experience with projectors. With DisplayPort, high performance is standard.
A. Yes, DisplayPort v1.2 includes protocol support for transmitting left and right eye display data. DisplayPort v1.2 enables Beyond Full HD Stereo support at 120Hz.
A. DisplayPort has many unique features that set it apart from other display interface standards. DisplayPort is designed specifically for low voltage implementation, has a unique bi-directional, high-data rate Auxiliary channel for sending commands and data between a monitor and a PC, features a micro-packet architecture that is capable of transmitting compressed as well as uncompressed display data, and features powered connectors providing up to 1.5W of power – all features unique to DisplayPort. DisplayPort also includes an optional latch on cable plugs, providing a secure connection to projectors and monitors, a necessary feature missing from HDMI.

Not asking a question - just recording for posterity I guess. Can't find much on this subject on the web, so hope someone finds it of interest .....
I've been setting up an rsync server to allow some of our laptop users to backup across our VPN. This has all gone smoothly so far, except for one user, who is getting a message that a module could not be found (i.e. he can't authenticate against rsync) - but only when connected via the VPN. It works fine across the LAN.
The error is:
@ERROR: Unknown module 'Fredbackup'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.7-1/src/rsync-3.0.7/main.c(1506) [sender=3.0.7]
I've tracked it down to an oddity with how the environment variable %username% works if you've got a capital in the Windows username.
So this guy uniquely for us, and I've no idea why, has a domain account with an initial capital letter, called Fred.
If I sit at the (XP) client machine while it's logged in to the domain and type echo %username% it comes back with: fred
If reboot the client and log into it while it's disconnected and type echo %username% it comes back with: Fred
As I am using %username% in the batch command that runs rsync on the Windows client, this is causing my authentication problem.

Harvest Moon, the farming simulator that harvested its way into our hearts since the Super Nintendo days is due for a Fall 2011 sequel for the Nintendo DS and 3DS. I held the game in my hands on the E3 2011 show floor, earlier today and came away with some impressions.
The Tale of Two Towns features, like the name suggests, two distinct villages with their own cultures, customs, and rivalries. At the start of the game you select your gender and town affiliation. As this is a farming simulation, the town rivalry boils down to food preference. The European styled Bluebell favors animals, whereas the Eastern flavored Konahana is filled with fields of crops.
The actual game play is similar to the previous games in the series with the addition of the ability to hand catch fish, and attach a carriage to your horse for increased hauling. Aesthetically, the game is what you would expect from an upgrade in the Harvest Moon franchise. There are a few differences between the DS and 3DS versions of the game. Mainly, the 3DS has light 3D support, and a street pass feature that allows you to more easily trade with other Harvest Moon players.
Harvest Moon The Tale of Two Towns is published by Natsume.

The filming location is used in an episode, where otherwise a show is California Doubling.
Let's say a show takes place in New York, but it's filmed in Los Angeles. Thanks to establishing shots and green screens, it looks pretty convincing. But then, one episode the plot involves going to Los Angeles. Suddenly, there's Scenery Porn. The show takes place outside more. The establishing shots have the characters in them. Filming Location briefly subverts California Doubling and adds the opportunity to actually show a scene with the characters not needing a green screen. Not to be confused with Aloha Hawaii where the cast and crew actually does go somewhere else to film. This is the show being temporarily set where it is filmed, not filmed where it is set. Other possible names: Set Where It Is Filmed (maybe too broad), Aloha Filming Locationm, originally Real Location Cameo Examples

Wow, I have been absolutely caught off guard by all of the new members the last few days. Believe me, this time last week I could literally count our members on one hand. We are now growing by the hour, a rate that prevents me from welcoming each of you individually. PLEASE don't take that personally. I am reading every posting and I am glad to see each and every one of you here in the forum. I hope you like what you find here and come back often. If you don't, I hope you won't hesitate to tell me what you would like to see. This is your chance to have input into what this forum becomes. I read and consider each and every request and will do everything I can to make this a forum YOU want to come back to time and again. Those of you that come by to simply read and not post, you are welcome here as well BUT we could all benefit by your knowledge and experiences as well, so take a stab at posting.
Several of you recommended that the dark background, light text was annoying (and I had to agree) so that change has obviously now been made.
The dark header graphic, however, now looks a little "funny" (not to mention the questionable rights to the use of the photo in the header graphic that my "volunteer graphics guy" so kindly provided us) so that will be replaced this weekend.
Other improvements visible to the members and behind the scenes will be made in short order, including a incremental performance upgrade. I hope to get it all squared away within the next 2-3 weeks. I do have a day job like everyone else, though so please bear with me.
Anyway, welcome to the forum! We're all glad you found us and I look forward to each of you helping build this into a CCW forum where we can all benefit by each others experiences.

We love all the sweet flavors and contrasting textures in this simple fruit salad. Sprinkle chopped, toasted nuts or granola on top for crunch.

So you're having a bad hair day, but are tired of wearing a ponytail? Why not rock a hair bow instead? You can have one lickety-split, as this model demonstrates during a shoot for Vena Cava's e-commerce site. I had no idea a Gaga hairstyle could be so uncomplicated, but I really don't expect to see many women wearing a hair bow. It would be cute for a little girl, though.

Is there a comparable secret in Arkham City that hasn't been found yet?
There's definitely a few things that people haven't discovered but I've been surprised about how quickly our community found stuff - some pretty obscure ones like Scarecrow's Barge. No one on the team thought anyone would ever find that. There's still a couple of bits and things that people haven't found, though...
The community's only complaint about Arkham City is that it's quite daunting - that degree of complexity, the density of environment, and it's all offered up without much tutorial.
I think that's true. We wanted you to feel like Batman in terms of all of these possibilities. We didn't want to have a long tutorial phase where it forces you down a very thin path - that didn't feel like Batman. But the flipside is that it can feel quite daunting when you first arrive. If you go the wrong way at the start you can go into Penguin's turf and you're going to run into guys with guns, and that's pretty scary when you pick up the game.
In the second game we wanted to improve the bosses, and that's something we focused on, but really it comes down to creating new opportunities for improvement. There's always ways to improve, but finding them is tricky for me. I'm not saying it's the best game ever, but we couldn't have worked harder; I'm proud of the work the team have done.
Are we able to be competitive in the UK? There's more money for developers in America than we have over here. Is it time for the government to step in?
I definitely think so. A lot of my friends have moved abroad to get work; there's a real talent drain. Montreal is a central place for development and it's mainly because the tax breaks they give are so phenomenal. It's a real shame, because home computers were so popular and the bedroom programming scene was so big we have some of the best talent in the world in this country.That situation is rapidly changing and it's such a shame.
We have great developers here but those numbers are dwindling. You just think about quality developers like Bizarre Creations, Black Rock - people who are making really good games and going out of business. Those guys were so talented so how can that happen? I just think that we could have been in Montreal's position with that backing from the government. It's such a big industry now and we could be world leaders. Britain's home computing history is just incredible...
Me and my brother both work here; we both just love playing games, and we grew up with games. We had the Spectrum, Commodore 64 and spent all the time playing them. The only reason I got into the industry is because I love games, not for any other reason. Moreover, I'm probably not qualified for any other job.
If someone had told you then that one day you'd be able to play a game where you could drive a tank, run around on foot, fly helicopters, be Batman...
It's crazy isn't it? It's scary. I'm not much of a retro gamer because I like how the games were in my head. When you go back and play retro games you always think: 'oh yeah... that wasn't so good.'
It's tough, especially the early 3D games. When I think of the classic PSone games I imagine all the textures in hi-res; in my mind retro games always get a next gen overhaul.

Christina Aguilera has gone from "three's company" to "three's a crowd!" According to TMZ, the singer invited her boyfriend Matt Rutler to move in with her a few weeks ago... with her estranged husband Jordan Bratman still living in the house!
Why the odd arrangement? Apparently Aguilera, who filed for divorce in October, was allowing Bratman to stick around for the sake of their two-year-old son Max. That makes sense, considering that the the singer-actress has been very vocal about putting her son first at all times. Still -- can't have been fun for the new boyfriend. And it was probably a little confusing for Max, too! Thankfully for all involved, Bratman moved out on Tuesday.
"Thank God Jordan is moving out," a source told TMZ. "It was getting really awkward."
Aguilera, who turned 30 in December, met Rutler on when he was a production assistant on her film Burlesque. Lately they seem to be inseparable, even generating engagement rumors. We don't know much too about Rutler -- but he must really love Christina to have shared a bathroom with her soon-to-be-ex husband!
Do you think it's strange that Christina Aguilera let her ex-husband stick around? Chime in below!

I have no clue how old these systems are, but they sure look old. And big.
I'll probably replace it with something more powerful, this year. Like a EeePC 700 or so...

The secrets of backups in a datacenter that big is: You don't. Backup, that is.
A simple calulation shows, that a full backup would basically never end, and incremental backups only help you if you if you had something to increment from. And a restore would never end as well.
Instead you make damn sure, you have redundancy in everything. DRBD is your friend. RAID controllers are, too.
If you have the money, integrate with the big ones (EMC, HP, SUN). If you don't, use a clever solution (Caringo).

Embracing the New Year
Presented by Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra at Barnstable Performing Arts Center
January 1, 2012
A Salute to a Splendid Viennese Tradition
Jung-Ho Pak, Conductor - Deborah Selig, Soprano - Andrew Garland, Baritone
Embrace the New Year with graceful waltzes, playful polkas and popular tunes of Vienna's "Waltz King," Johann Strauss Jr. and his contemporaries. Soprano Deborah Selig and baritone Andrew Garland add a glorious touch.
Ring in the New Year in Viennese style with the splendid music of Vienna's "Waltz King," Johann Strauss Jr., and his contemporaries. Graceful waltzes and playful polkas, including the Zigeunerbaron Overture (The Gypsy Baron), On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Bahn frei (Fast Track) and the Pizzicato Polka will sweep you off your feet. Soprano Deborah Selig and baritone Andrew Garland gloriously voice operetta excerpts from Strauss' Die Fledermaus (The Bat) and Mozart's The Magic Flute. Delightful music combined with delectable Viennese pastries make for a sweet and splendid way to embrace a New Year's tradition once again!
Deborah Selig, Soprano
A charming soprano and performer, Selig is recognized for her rich, shimmering voice, her excellent artistic instincts and her fine execution of the lyric soprano repertoire. She has performed operatic roles and sung with a number of companies and orchestras including Kentucky Opera, Opera Roanoke, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony.
Andrew Garland, Baritone
The New York Times has praised Garland for having a "distinctively American presence,". He is known for his engaging performances and for his interpretations on the recital stage in particular. Garland recently debuted several works by living American composers at Carnegie Hall and performed the title role in Don Giovanni with Opera New Jersey and Dancairo in Carmen with Boston Lyric Opera.

Raa organisk kakaopulver!

Purchased at iHerb
Denne er fin aa bruke til aa lage sjokolade av. Man bor ikke varme sjokoladen mer enn 41 grader dersom man onsker aa bevare alle naeringstoffer og antioksidanter. Desverre er det slik at det ikke lonner seg (forelopig) aa handle sunt og riktig i norske butikker. Riktig mat er alt for overpriset, og gjør at de fleste velger et dårligre alternativ. Ideelt sett skulle jeg gjerne sett at gode produkter var like tilgjengelig for alle! Dette er ogsaa litt av bakgrunnen for mitt engasjement gjennom iherb. Er takknemlig for iherb's filosofi som vektlegger etikk gjennom sitt forretningskonsept fra A til AA!
Only raw cacao powder I use

Posted by Reviewer1412418 on Mar 01, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
Started taking 2 tablespoons of this every day - with 2 tablespoons of Navitas Cacao nibs. Try this, I blend it in a Vitamix until warm but you could use any blender and drink it cold. No, it's not too tasty but after 60 days I was able to throw away every single blood pressure med I was on - my blood pressure is low-normal now. Obviously, work with a doctor on this but as far as I am concerned high daily doses of cacao are a wonder drug.
Love it

Raw Chocolate Powder

Purchased at iHerb
I use this in homemade chocolate, smoothies, raw cakes and pies... Let's just say it's a staple in my kitchen. If you've never had raw cacao before, you'll need to get used to the taste. It has more of a bite/"tartness" to it than the regular roasted/processed with alkali types, so strictly flavor-wise I guess the roasted types win by an inch but with all the added benefits of this unprocessed, so-good-for-you, real raw cacao powder I know where I'll put my money! And the Navitas Naturals brand offer a superb quality product! Will keep on buying:)
Wonderful For Baking and Hot Chocolate

Gov. Deal Celebrates Kubota's Expansion In Georgia At Grand Opening Of $73 Million Production Facility In Jefferson
Kubota products currently manufactured and assembled at Georgia facilities include RTV utility vehicles; BX-Series subcompact tractors; Z-Series commercial and residential zero-turn mowers; and Kubota implements and attachments, including loaders, backhoes and mower decks. Just added at the new KIE facility are the Kubota L3200 and L3800 compact tractors.
"We are honored that Kubota has decided to expand its presence in the city of Jefferson," said Jim Joiner, mayor, the city of Jefferson. "Kubota has been an excellent corporate citizen and we look forward to our continued partnership involving this third expansion in the McClure Industrial Park. Creating much needed jobs in our community is a priority of the City of Jefferson. We welcome Kubota's expansion and the new jobs that will be added to their operations."
The Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) partnered with the development authorities of Jefferson and Jackson County and the City of Jefferson to manage the KIE expansion. GDEcD senior regional project manager Susie Haggard managed this expansion on behalf of the state.
" Georgia's 40-year business relationship with Japan has been the foundation of success for Kubota and hundreds of other Japanese companies here," said GDEcD Commissioner Chris Cummiskey. "Our unique package of workforce, location, affordability and global access is very attractive for international companies looking to expand their markets."Kubota Social Responsibility As Kubota's business and overall footprint has grown in the state and throughout the U.S., the company has maintained its global commitment to minimizing its impact on the environment. As part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, KIE has adopted several environmentally-conscious processes and product-installations onsite, resulting in the facility receiving ISO 14001 certification. Among its most advanced environmentally-conscious technology is the Kubota Membrane installation that will allow KIE to recycle and reuse 70 percent of its overall water consumption, which is particularly beneficial for the work done onsite within the facility's paint shop operation. About Kubota Tractor Corporation Kubota Tractor Corporation, Torrance, Calif., is the U.S. marketer and distributor of Kubota-engineered and manufactured equipment, including a complete line of tractors up to 118 PTO hp, performance-matched implements, compact and utility-class construction equipment, consumer lawn and garden equipment, commercial turf products and utility vehicles.

American patriot Patrick Henry once famously said, "Give me liberty or give me death." Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization (a remake of 1994's Sid Meier's Colonization) takes that quote quite literally: as the leader of the English, Spanish, French, or Dutch colonial efforts, your singular victory conditions are to colonize the New World; build a thriving, self-sufficient nation; and win your independence from Europe in a revolutionary war. It may be smaller in scope than we're accustomed to in a Civ game, but it's still extremely addictive and complex in its own right.
As in Civ, you start by founding a single colony and exploring the map (random, or pre-made scenarios based on the Americas), but from there on out the challenge is entirely different; Col is more about trade economics than warfare or diplomacy. You must extract raw resources from the land and produce goods for sale back in Europe, and then spend the proceeds to recruit more colonists to expand your operation. While the game has some impressive automation features for those averse to micromanagement, much of the joy early on comes from setting up your colonies just right - cultivating the land, training specialized colonists and assigning them to specific tasks, and building structures to enhance production. Later in the game, automation becomes a necessity, as guiding the production of goods such as muskets on a large scale would be maddeningly complex. I particularly appreciate the wagon train automation, which allowed me to designate which supplies should be imported and exported from each colony and then sit back and watch as the wagons redistributed them accordingly.
Meanwhile, other Europeans competing for territory must be dealt with either diplomatically or militarily. Neither system is particularly well fleshed-out, though. Combat is a little simplistic - with only three military units (soldiers, dragoons, and canons) and three warships to choose from, it's not the deepest part of the game by any means. At least upgrades earned through combat experience allow you to specialize your troops to some degree. You also have to deal with the inconvenient fact that there are already people living on the land you're trying to colonize. Plundering Native villages for a quick buck and free territory is only one of your options - playing nice gives you a free place to train your colonists, a source of converts, allies against your enemies, and trading partners (and you don't have to spend a bunch of resources to fight a war). It's often much easier to kill them with kindness, as they will offer to give you their settlements when your borders expand around them.
Once you've built up your colonies and grown tired of your King's constant demands for higher and higher taxes and tribute, you must declare your independence. The revolutionary battle becomes grueling, though, especially as the difficulty level increases. Wave after wave of the King's troops land on your shores - usually in the same exact spots - and attack. It's a test of endurance that the game up to this point has left you pretty much completely unprepared for, so, unless you know what's coming and have spent the past 100 turns or so building up your military, you'll probably be overwhelmed.
Some areas of questionable balancing make the late game tricky to navigate. First and foremost, the attacker seems to have a huge advantage in combat - I lost far too many battles from within heavily fortified cities, and dragoons seem to win nine out of 10 battles regardless of what unit they're fighting and where, making a good offense your only real defense. That's manageable against Natives and other colonies, but during the revolution with literally hundreds of enemy troops landing? Not so much. Also, once you've educated a few citizens in your schools, the amount of time it takes to graduate them makes it completely impractical - you're better off just buying specialists from Europe.
Each of the four playable European powers (England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands) has a unique advantage that affects your strategies, and each has two leaders with an additional bonus. The Dutch, for instance, have a more stable economy, and depending on which leader you choose, you also get either increased production or fewer tax hikes from the King. And in place of research, Col lets you recruit founding fathers to your Continental Congress for added bonuses. With a different set of bonuses each time on random maps, there's more than a little replayability potential here.
Civ IV's rock-solid engine has gotten an impressive graphical update, with lush green environments and reflective water. The world looks almost too good for this kind of game, since you can't tell just by looking at a tile exactly what kinds of resources you'll get by building a colony there, but that's a problem easily solved by enabling the resource display view. Recognizing that nothing kills an extended play session like bad or repetitive music, Firaxis included a wide selection of excellent-quality tunes in both American Revolutionary War–era and Native American styles for your listening pleasure.
If you and up to three friends have some serious time on your hands, you can kill it with a round of online multiplayer (Internet, LAN, or by email) or in hotseat mode - though you shouldn't expect to finish a game unless the lot of you are extremely dedicated to the cause. If you missed Col the first time around (and most of you probably did), now is an excellent chance to pick it up and dive into the colonial era. Even with a single path to independence and the balance issues, there are so many different factors that go into achieving victory that it will take many, many replays before it becomes monotonous.
