Transportation Department
The Transportation Department's Federal Highway Administration announced the winners of its national awards for top traveler information Web sites.
Recognized as the top traveler information Web sites in the United States are:
"These outstanding sites were chosen because of their user friendliness, comprehensiveness and real-time reporting," said FHWA Deputy Administrator Richard Capka.
FHWA officials reviewed 276 Web sites to evaluate their content and usability. Content evaluation included updated information on incidents, construction notices, high occupancy vehicle lanes and toll roads. Usability criteria included the organization, navigation and presentation of information.
Georgia's Navigator features a new state map, camera views of traffic conditions and major alerts, with plans for real-time streaming video of traffic conditions among future improvements.
Washington's site receives as many as 67 million page views per month and Kentucky's TRIMARC provides travelers with information for the interstate highway system within the Louisville/Southern Indiana area.
The GCM Travel site won an award for the second year in a row and features a data sharing system that uses a Common Object Request Broker Architecture interface to let users link to information across the entire three-state region, including cameras, maps and message centers. The site also contains links to a traffic congestion map and to Chicago airports.

Runs a bit big but comfortable
"I ordered these because I needed some basic flats for work. I'm glad I did! They are actually comfortable for flats (they have some padding in them) and the cloth is unique. They run a tad big, I'd probably be OK going down half size but the size I purchased don't slip off when I walk, only when I try to slip them off (if that makes sense). I'm surprised by how comfortable they are. They are a little wider than a typical flat but it makes it very comfortable. I recommend!"

Very comfortable flat
"This is my second pair of Blowfish Glo Ballet Flats. I just ordered the gray for winter. Will go great with jeans or dress pants. I already had the linen Glo Ballet flats in coral. They looked great this summer with many outfits. I like how the toe is round - no pinching. Very comfortable and would highly recommend."

Does anybody have a custom Software Discovery Code script for me to review?
Also overall directions on how to set this up? The Policy setter is not the most straight forward document to review.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I recently worked with a customer who was performing custom software scans. They did not use a custom script, but we encountered numerous errors trying to scan custom software. We spent weeks to resolve a simple issue that was not documented. Our process for uploading custom signatures was:
- Use scanwin-<version>.exe or equivalent scanning application for your platform (e.g., scanlinux-<version>.sh) on a managed server that had custom software installed. This provided us with the signatures of the custom software we wanted to scan.
- Use the Software Application Index (SAI) editor to prune the list of discovered software to the list of custom applications we wanted to scan and to provide additional data about the discovered software.
- Exported the custom software signatures to XML.
- Uploaded the XML using dstool to the SA core.
- Performed scans on other managed servers we knew to be running the custom applications.
Our custom applications were never discovered. We eventually learned that during step 2 you need to change the application type from "associated" to "main".
During our debugging we also learned that you need to apply the configuration custom attribute "LOG_MODE=DEBUG" to both the "opsware.server.module.discovered_software" package and the normal "Software Discovery" package if you want to get debug logs for custom software discovery.
Hope this helps some. I can dig up the case details if you need more specific information on discovering software using custom signatures. I'm afraid I can't help much when it comes to creating a custom script to perform software discovery.

A lovely slobby day
Pay day! It's great to get notification from the bank that my pension is there. Somehow it seems deliciously naughty, being paid when you're having fun! Today was a less than perfect day, misty to start with and precious little wind but even so, we wanted to be off as we were keen on re-visiting our favourite anchorage called Soviken about 14 miles away to the west, on ...

... decades ago and well known for its prices but also the quality of its products. We would find out. One of the photos I wanted was of a row of anchors, with one spoke well and truly buried into the sand. These were placed there for ships to moor to whilst they waited their turn to clear customs, apparently. Speaking of customs, the bakery was close to the old customs building and it certainly was popular, with customers enjoying a morning coffee with something sweet ...
Not a bad life, this!
... At the current rate of engine use, it looks like we'll use it for > 200 hours this trip and I have to change the oil every 200 hours. Not only is it an nuisance to have to do this, it's also annoying as I then change it again for the winter, so I'll be throwing only partially used oil away in September, which hurts! What hurt even more was the price of the oil, the best part of �40.00 for 5 litres and I had to buy ...

... The exhibits were composed of a hodgepodge of various items with very little rhyme or reason. From what I could surmise, the museum was intended to showcase various occupations, both past and present. Something must have been lost in translation because I left feeling bewildered. We exited the museum to again be greeted by the strange, gloomy and omnipotent aura. The best way to describe it is a feeling of being watched by someone or something.

Goaltender Ben Bishop has signed a two-year contract extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the team announced Saturday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but it is worth $5.95 million per season, according to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com.
Bishop could have become an unrestricted free agent in July 2015 but is now signed through the 2016-17 NHL season.
"I didn't want to head into training camp and then maybe play half a season [without having a new contract] in the back of my mind, because as much as you like to say that it's not a distraction, it usually is," Bishop told The Tampa Tribune. "So it was nice to get this over with, I think it's a fair deal for both sides, and I'm really excited to be a part of this organization for another three years."

State's payment to plan still up in air; DIA balks at $100M ante
As of Jan. 17, support for Gov. Rick Snyder's plan for $350 million in state funding to augment the $330 million committed so far by foundations was uncertain, as was the amount the DIA itself may be required to contribute.
Reports of a requirement that the DIA contribute $100 million over 20 years or $5 million a year to the plan surfaced late last week, an amount DIA Chairman Eugene Gargaro said isn't doable.
"Of course we want to participate and help; that's a given," he said. "But I'm not going to saddle the DIA with debt that will jeopardize its ability to function."
Gargaro said the museum already raises $12 million each year to supplement $23 million in millage revenue from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties for its annual budget, Gargaro said.
And the millage revenue isn't available for the fund. Per the agreements between the arts authorities in the three counties and the DIA, that revenue can only go to fund the museum's operations, and the museum must provide regular reports to the authorities on its use, he said.
Gargaro told Crain's that in exchange for a state contribution, the museum could relaunch the statewide outreach it provided in the 1990s when it was receiving $14 million a year from the state.
The museum loaned art to other cultural institutions around the state, took exhibitions statewide, provided conservation expertise to other museums and consulted on arts education programs until its state funding was cut in the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Bosh delivered his worst shooting performance since making just four of 17 attempts against the Lakers in another low-scoring game last week in Wednesday's loss, adding seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes. He'll look to bounce back Friday against the Pacers.
Bosh delivered his second 30-point performance in the last week after coming into his recent four-game stretch with just three of them on the season. He racked up seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 39 minutes in the win. The Heat will square off with the Thunder Tuesday.
Bosh nailed all eight of his free-throw attempts Wednesday, allowing him to reach 26 points for the third time in six games this month. He also tallied seven rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes of action. Bosh is set to face the Kings on Friday.
Since returning from injury, Bosh is averaging 21.8 points in six games. He and the Heat will continue their road trip Tuesday against the Lakers.
Bosh shot 10-16 from the field, including 3-4 from beyond the arc. He sunk three free throws. Both also finished with five rebounds and two assists.
The team's most frequent lineup this season has been Bosh, Deng, Wade, Norris Cole and Shawne Williams.
Bosh was aggressive early and finished the game with 20 points on 8 of 17 shooting in 33 minutes. He was 0 for 1 from the 3-point line and made 4 of his 7 free-throw attempts. He also added eight rebounds, one assist and one steal.
The Heat next play Wednesday at Indiana.
Bosh, who is averaging 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, has been out since Dec. 12 with the injury.
The Heat are 5 1/2-point favorites against Orlando Monday.
"I'm a lot deadlier when I get into the post," Bosh said.
Bosh is set to return to action Monday night after losing eight games to a calf injury. He comes back with averages of 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. But his shooting percentage has fallen to 47.9, its lowest point since the 2004-05 season.
Bosh participated in the Monday shootaround.
Spolestra added that Bosh will be re-evaluated Monday, which leaves open the possibility that he may be able to return to action in Monday's game against the Magic. He has been sidelined since Dec. 12 with his injury, and the Heat have gone 3-5 in his absence.
Miami is a 4-point favorite at home against Orlando Monday.
Bosh has been sidelined since Dec. 12 due to a calf injury. Chris Andersen and Udonis Haslem are expected to receive extended minutes in Bosh's absence. Hamilton will need to pass the league-mandated concussion protocol in order to return to action. He hasn't played since Dec. 21.
Miami is a 2 1/2-point home underdog against Memphis.
Bosh has already missed seven straight games due to a calf injury. He was aiming for a return on Thursday, but couldn't recover in time. That said, there's a strong chance Bosh will return for one of the team's next two games. They'll take on the Grizzlies on Saturday and the Magic on Monday.
This is the seventh straight game Bosh will miss. Miami hosts Memphis on Saturday.
He's averaging 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds in 23 games.
Bosh is working his way back from a calf strain. He's missed the past five games due to the issue. Coach Erik Spolestra seemed to imply that Bosh is also in doubt for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers. Bosh was initially targeting Thursday as a potential return date, but wasn't sure he would recover in time.
Bosh is averaging 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
Bosh is dealing with a calf strain, but believes he can return by the end of the week. "It's a possibility, I think," he said. "That's me being a glass-half-full kind of guy." Bosh has said he's targeting a December 25 return, but added that the team is telling him to take it easy. "I've been saying that and they're like, 'OK, take it easy. Just work today.' Health is the priority," Bosh said. Even if he's unable to return on Thursday, Bosh believes he'll return soon.
Worried about the muscle tearing away from the bone, Miami is taking a cautious approach with their star forward, who signed a five-year extension in the offseason. At this point, the likelihood of Bosh playing Tuesday and on Christmas Day remains uncertain. The Heat will likely continue to roll with Justin Hamilton or Udonis Haslem while Bosh is sidelined.
Through 23 games, Bosh has averaged 21.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 77.9 percent from the floor and 38.6 percent from downtown.
The Heat are used to playing without McRoberts, who was just ninth on the team in minutes played through the first 23 games of the season. However, Fantasy owners were starting to get excited about his return to health, since few big men can produce quite like McRoberts does. He was averaging 4.0 assists and 1.0 3-pointers per-36 minutes, but at least the Heat have an in-house option to replace him in the form of Shawne Williams. Williams averaged 12.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 3-pointers per game through the first 10, which McRoberts mostly missed with injuries.
Finding someone to replace Bosh will be a bigger test, though it is likely one the team won't have to deal with for too long. Bosh acknowledged his calf injury could cost him a few weeks Monday, though that seems like a worst-case scenario. For the time being, Justin Hamilton and Chris Andersen are likely to see larger roles, but neither warrants more than a cursory glance in deeper Fantasy leagues for the time being.
For Fantasy Week 8, you might want to slip Williams, Luol Deng and Mario Chalmers into your starting lineups, especially with Dwyane Wade fighting an illness. Long term, however, it remains to be seen just how the Heat will deal with these injuries.
Bosh said the strain could worsen and "the muscle could tear away from the bone" if he plays through the pain.
"It's disappointing," Bosh said. "Usually you know when something gives and you kind of feel it over the course of a game and you can point to a specific play when you felt something tweak, or whatever, but unfortunately that didn't happen for me. I guess it's a wear and tear thing. It kind of sprung up on me, and you just have to deal with the tough times right now."
"It wasn't anything that happened in particular, no one play," he said Sunday. "It's a strain, and we're trying to see how my body responds. Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow, but it's a day-by-day thing."
Bosh became the final starter to miss a game this season when he sat out Sunday. The Heat will square off with the Nets Tuesday, and the power forward's status may be clarified after Monday's re-evaluation.
Bosh suffered a calf strain during Friday's game but didn't notice the injury until the next day, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He's averaged 21.6 points and 8.2 rebounds in 23 games. McRoberts is missing his third straight game with his knee issue.
It was an all-around poor effort for the Heat, who shot just 36.6 percent from the field and lost by 20 points after entering halftime tied. Bosh was coming off an outstanding performance Tuesday in which he scored a season-high 34 points but couldn't maintain that high level of play in Denver. He chipped in two rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes in the loss. The Heat are set to face the Jazz Friday.
With Miami trailing 91-90 and three minutes left, Bosh scored seven straight points, hitting a midrange jumper, a layup and a 25-footer. The outburst helped Miami snap its four-game losing streak.
It was a huge bounceback effort after Bosh was held to 12 points and two boards Sunday at Memphis. Bosh will look to keep it going Wednesday at Denver.
Bosh shot 9-12 from the field, including 3-3 from beyond the arc. He sunk 6-8 of his free throw attempts. Bosh finished with 27 points. Bosh was active on the boards, pulling down 11 rebounds.
Bosh shot 9-14 from the field, including 1-3 from beyond the arc. He also hit two free throws. Bosh added eight rebounds, three assists and two steals.
"Maybe right now this is what we need: guys being forced to develop. It's not easy getting to the point of being a strong unit," Bosh said. "Unfortunately, guys are going to be baptized by fire. Sometimes that's the best situation to be put in. We're coming into every game like, 'Who's playing tonight?' It affects the packages we're going to run and it affects matchups. It requires guys to step up on both ends. Whether we're doing good or bad, guys are learning."
Bosh is averaging 21.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Last season, he averaged 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds.
Bosh wasn't able to deliver his third straight double-double Tuesday, but he has scored at least 20 points in four straight games. He'll get a nice break before the Heat's next game, which comes Sunday against the Knicks.
Bosh shot 13 of 20 from the floor including 4 of 6 from three point range and he appears to be over his recent shooting slump which had him shooting just 17 of 60 over four games. The Heat next play Sunday against Charlotte.
Bosh shot 9-17 from the field, including one from beyond the arc. He went a perfect 9-9 on his free throws, and added seven rebounds during the contest.
Bosh has been struggling more from the floor lately. He was 54 of 111 (49 percent) in his first seven games, but just 17 of 60 (28 percent) in four games since. Included was a 2-for-17 effort Sunday against Milwaukee.
"It's extremely frustraing to go through it so far but that's a part of it," Bosh told Sheridanhoops.com about his new role and recent inaccuracy. "The coaching staff has really been on me to be a leader and be an inspiration to the guys no matter how the game is going. So I just have to be that voice every day. So as long as I'm doing that I'm sure my game will catch up."
Bosh is averaging 21.8 points and, most importantly, 9.2 rebounds per game. He has reached double-figures in rebounds four times - not bad considering he never snagged more than 12 in any game a year ago.
His role when LeBron James was a teammate was to clear the lane for others to grab rebounds, according to the Miami Herald, which had claimed that a change in that strategy has allowed Bosh to resume his role as a key rebounder he had with Toronto. It comes as no surprise to him.
"I told people I could rebound a long time ago," he said. "Then they're going to be crazy when, 'Oh, he can rebound now?' But I told you I could rebound a long time ago. It's just because my numbers were down. I told people the math, and they were like, 'Ah, get out of here.' So, I'm not going to be logical now."
Bosh had been averaging 10.3 rebounds per game, but managed just two Wednesday night in a loss to Detroit.
Bosh shot just 3-13 from the field. He hit one three pointer, and went 2-3 from the free throw line. He finished with just nine points. Bosh was able dominated on the glass, coming down with just two rebounds.
"His production so far this season matches up almost perfectly to his final season in Toronto, with the added bonus that Bosh is now a high-volume 3-point shooter. The Heat are running the offense through Bosh, and he has responded well so far, and there is little reason to think he won't be able to keep this up."
Bosh was a nightly double-double threat as the primary option for the Raptors before joining the Heat, so it shouldn't be surprising he is still capable of that. There is no reason to think of him as a sell-high trade option right now.
Each player scored 20 points in the win, with Wade adding 10 assists, two rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes, while Bosh delivered 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes. Bosh has scored 20 points or more in each of the 5-2 Heat's seven games, while Wade has delivered three straight 20-point performances or better. The Heat are proving hard to defeat when both players are on a roll. They'll square off with the Pacers Wednesday.
Bosh scored 24 points on 9 of 21 shooting from the field and a perfect 6 of 6 from the free throw line. He chipped in with seven rebounds and two assists while logging 35 minutes of game action. He is averaging 23.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists over his last five games.
Bosh shot 7-18 from the field, and hit on just one of his attempts from beyond the arc, but managed to go a perfect 8-8 on his free-throw attempts. He finished with 23 points. Bosh was a monster on the glass, picking up 13 rebounds. Eleven of those rebounds came on the defensive side of the ball.
Bosh has served as the focal point for Miami's offense through three games, and has been arguably the most productive big man for the first week. He is averaging 25.7 points and, most surprisingly, 11.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists, long weak points in his game.
Bosh has been more involved in the offense this season, averaging 76.3 touches per game, up from 50.9 a year ago per NBA.com's SportsVu tracking data. That has naturally led to an increase in his scoring and assists rates, and should be a good sign for his ability to sustain an increased assist rate; he has four assists in each of the first three games, after reaching that level just 33 times in 287 games in his first four years with the Heat.
If you had doubts about Bosh's ability to handle a larger role, his first three games might not be enough to sway you. However, we expected big things from the uniquely skilled big man, so this only bolsters that. He should be viewed as a possible top-5 Fantasy center.
Bosh scored a team-high 21 points on 5 of 13 shooting, making 10 of his 13 free-throw attempts and adding 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal. He's topped 20 points in each of the team's first three games, all wins, while delivering two double-doubles.
Wade played 31 minutes while recording his first double-double of the season, scoring 19 points on 7 of 11 shooting and adding 11 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks. He's played more than 30 minutes in each of the team's first three games, averaging 16.3 points per game.
The Heat are set to face the Rockets Tuesday.
Bosh shot 9 of 17 from the floor, including 2 of 5 from downtown, and 10 of 11 from the charity stripe. All two of his treys came in the first half. He chipped in with eight rebounds, four assists and two steals while logging 33 minutes of game action.
Bosh had just two 30-point games last season. He's halfway through that mark in the first week of the season. Through two games, Bosh has combined for 56 points and 23 rebounds while converting 51.4 percent (18 of 35) of his shots.
"I got a lot of making up to do," he told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Bosh had been criticized for his lack of rebounding during the LeBron James era in Miami. His single-game high last season was just 12.
"It's one game," Bosh said about his season-opening performance. "I have to make sure I'm staying focused on what we need to do, what I need to do individually, and really just try to bring that effort every night. I can make sure that I'm putting a body on my man, being in the correct places on defense. And when I do that, good things happen."
Bosh hit 9 of his 18 shots from the field. He added three shots from beyond the arc, and picked up 15 rebounds. Both finished the night with 26, which led the team.
Bosh shot 8 of 14 from the field. He made all six of the free throws. Bosh also picked up six rebounds and blocked two shots. He managed to play 26 minutes.
"I know I can do it," Bosh said. "The question for me is how consistent and how much. Just the quantity and volume of touches is going to change. That's why I worked so hard this summer so I could be ready for that."
In 2012-13, Bosh converted 61.5 percent of his 405 field goal attempts in the paint. Last season, however, the big man spent most of his time near the perimeter. He still managed to convert 64.6 percent of his 384 shots inside the paint in 2013-14.
Yahoo.com reports Friday the Heat have agreed to terms on a five-year deal with center Chris Bosh, who had reportedly been considered a max offer from the Rockets. Bosh will reportedly be paid $118 million over the life of the deal, after joining Dwyane Wade and LeBron James in opting out of their respective deals earlier in free-agency.
Bosh averaged just 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in his least productive season since he was a rookie, but will likely see a bigger role moving forward following James' decision to sign in Cleveland.
Bosh is set to become an unrestricted free agent after four seasons in Miami, after turning down $20.6 million for next season. Bosh watched his scored average drop in each season in Miami, though a reduction in minutes is more responsible than his own play. He averaged 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in 2013-14, while shooting 51.6 percent from the field, with a career-best 74 3-pointers made.
Bosh was held to just nine points in each of the first three games of the series but came through in a big way Monday, making three of his five three-point attempts and eight of his 10 free throws. The 25 points marked his highest scoring total since late February. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in Indianapolis.
James and Bosh also rested Monday night at Washington, leading to a blowout loss at the hands of the Wizards.
Two days after scoring 18 on 12 field-goal attempts, Bosh was efficient yet again in a 100-96 win. He scored 21 points on 8 of 16 shooting with two 3-pointers made, while adding six rebounds, one assist and one block in 39 minutes.
Bosh continues to thrive as the Heat's third option, despite playing a smaller role than ever. He is attempting just 12.1 field goals per game, his lowest total since he was a rookie. Bosh is still averaging 16.9 points on 53.4 percent shooting from the field, along with a 37.4 percent mark from three-point range.
Bosh scored 24 points on 10 of 16 shooting in 35 minutes. He made one 3-pointer and added three free-throws made to his scoring effort. Bosh also snagged seven rebounds, but dished out just one assist while turning it over three times in a 111-87 loss.
Bosh had been a bit quiet before Thursday's game, and he is averaging just 13.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 26.8 minutes per game over the last five.
Bosh attempted just nine field-goals in the game, though that number is deflated thanks to a whopping 12 trips to the free-throw line. He shot 6 of 9 from the field and 11 of 12 from the charity stripe on his way to 24 points, and he filled up the box score well otherwise in his 39 minutes of action. He added eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals, while turning the ball over three times.
Bosh generally doesn't play big minutes for the Heat, averaging a career-low 31.8 minutes per game. Despite that, he is averaging 16.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while shooting 53.4 percent from the field, the second-best mark of his career.
Bosh, who entered the game shooting just 34.8 percent from the field in his previous eight games, connected on 8 of 11 from the field for 21 points. He added eight rebounds, two 3-pointers and one assist in his 38 minutes as well in the 103-97 win.
Bosh doesn't get as many shots as his talent might suggest in Miami's offense, but he continues to put up solid numbers. He is averaging 18.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game over the last 10.
Bosh also recorded six rebounds, one steal and one block while playing 31 minutes in the win. He has averaged 16.3 points and 6.3 rebounds over 32 games played.
Bosh also had two assists and one steal in 31 minutes of action while matching Dwyane Wade's 23 points on the day. He has averaged 15.1 points and 6.3 rebounds over 27 games played.
Bosh had to go to the locker room after receiving an elbow to the face on a Paul Millsap drive. He was diagnosed with a lacerated upper lip and required eight stitches, but was able to return to the bench during overtime. He defended the inbounds on the Hawks' final possession of the game, an indication that the injury is nothing to be concerned about.
Bosh should have little trouble playing Wednesday against the Lakers after returning to the game.
Bosh attempted to challenge a Paul Millsap drive, when Millsap's elbow caught Bosh in the jaw. No foul was called on the collision, but Bosh went down and had to be helped to the locker room.
Bosh finished the game with 11 points, four rebounds and four blocks in 26 minutes of action.
Not only was it Bosh's best scoring performance of the year, it was enough to lead the Heat in scoring in the win. Bosh also recorded eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal while playing 26 minutes. He has averaged 15.0 points and 6.2 rebounds over 25 games played.
Bosh went 10 of 17 shooting from the field and 2 of 3 from the free throw line. He put up a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds, with only two of them coming from the offensive end. He also chipped in with one assist and one block while logging 30 minutes of game action in a 114-107 victory.
Bosh is averaging 13.6 points and 7.0 rebounds over his last five games.
It was a season-high for threes attempted for Bosh, who also grabbed nine rebounds while recording three assists and two steals in 31 minutes. Bosh has averaged 14.1 points and 6.0 rebounds over 20 games played.
Bosh has put up 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and has shot close to 60 percent from the field over his first four games played for Miami this year.
Bosh added seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks, continuing his hot play early in the season. He has made 26 of his 44 field-goal attempts, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, well above his career rates in each case.
Bosh was 7 for 8 in the game from the field as he grabbed five rebounds in the Heat win. He added two assists and a steal.
Bosh averaged 16.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last season and should see a similar role this year.

It has been quite some time since I have been using code from code havens like code project and codeguru. Its payback time folks. Well not with something that can be readily used by all or many. But this is my sincere start.
In this article, I have tried to bring out the lack of Object Oriented Programmability in using Worker threads and overcome it. This project was more evolutionary than revolutionary. It started with the theory from Ryan Teixeira's work on Designing a Thread Class, for which I started with a basic shape. Then came the requirements for my current project for which I had to consider little/easy portability constraints.
Enough talking lets move on.
I assume the audience is familiar with the concept of Threads / have heard of or used a worker thread atleast. My aim is to show how quick this class can bring you closer to OO Programming.
<!------------------------------- STEP 3 ---------------------------><!-- Add the article text. Please use simple formatting (
etc) -->
class CThread { public: /* * Info: Default Constructor */ CThread(); /* * Info: Plug Constructor */ CThread(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpExternalRoutine); /* * Info: Default Destructor */ ~CThread(); /* * Info: Starts the thread. */ DWORD Start( void* arg = NULL ); /* * Info: Stops the thread. */ DWORD Stop ( bool bForceKill = false ); /* * Info: Starts the thread. */ DWORD GetExitCode() const; /* * Info: Attaches a Thread Function */ void Attach( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpThreadFunc ); /* * Info: Detaches the Attached Thread Function */ void Detach( void ); protected: /* * Info: DONT override this method. */ static DWORD WINAPI EntryPoint( LPVOID pArg); /* * Info: Override this method. */ virtual DWORD Run( LPVOID arg ); /* * Info: Constructor-like function. */ virtual void ThreadCtor(); /* * Info: Destructor-like function. */ virtual void ThreadDtor(); private: /* * Info: Thread Context Inner Class * * Every thread object needs to be associated with a set of values. * like UserData Pointer, Handle, Thread ID etc. * * NOTE: This class can be enhanced to varying functionalities * eg., * * Members to hold StackSize * * SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES member. */ class CThreadContext { public: CThreadContext(); /* * Attributes Section */ public: HANDLE m_hThread; // The Thread Handle DWORD m_dwTID; // The Thread ID LPVOID m_pUserData; // The user data pointer LPVOID m_pParent; // The this pointer of the parent CThread object DWORD m_dwExitCode; // The Exit Code of the thread }; /* * Attributes Section */ protected: /* * Info: Members of CThread */ CThreadContext m_ThreadCtx; // The Thread Context member LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE m_pThreadFunc; // The Worker Thread Function // Pointer };
CThread( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE pThreadFunc)
DWORD Start( LPVOID pArg = NULL )
DWORD Stop( bool bForceKill = false )
DWORD GetExitCode() const
void Attach( LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpThreadFunc )
I Admit, I borrowed this feature after knowing COM only. It is a great concept. Here, It is used to attach any Worker Thread function this makes the generic class itself readily usable. How? we will see soon.
void Detach( void )
static DWORD WINAPI EntryPoint( LPVOID pArg )
virtual DWORD Run( LPVOID arg )
virtual void ThreadCtor()
virtual void ThreadDtor()
The best way to understand any code is through an example. So thats the way we do...
This more like a common scenario than un-usual. Lets say you have worker thread function "Threaded"
DWORD WINAPI Threaded( LPVOID lpData ) { while(1) { printf("worker threaded code"); Sleep(1000); } }
And now you would like to USE & CONTROL it ( meaning its scope, life visibility etc.. ) in OO Style. This is how you would do it.
CThread t1; t1.Attach(Threaded); // Threaded is the name of the worker function. t1.Start(); // ... Do something useful t1.Stop(); // Alternatively CThread t2(Threaded); t2.Start(); // ... Do something useful t2.Stop(true); // force kill if running.
There should be a catch. Well the catch is that you lose the CTOR and DTOR mimic functions ThreadCTOR() and ThreadDTOR() functionality and you cannot access any members or methods of the encapsulated class. But still, these were not our requirments. But what if they are...
The OO Way. Even if it takes a few minutes this is the better way to do it.
You derive a class, and override only the run method and thats all there is to it. Well you may add as many members/methods you need.
class CDemoThread : public CThread { virtual DWORD Run( LPVOID arg ) { while(1) { printf("Threaded Object Code \n"); Sleep(1000); } } };
Now, how do you use this. Not much difference.
CDemoThread dmt; dmt.Start(NULL); // ... do something useful dmt.Stop(true);
I am planning to update this class with more stuff. If anyone is interested or have anything in particular, do let me know.
We shall have code that is now Object Oriented. The benefits of Object Oriented Programming is way too much to realize at an early stage (Not inviting any debates).
Hope you all will find it useful!

But no. The Peacock is always doing more. And that includes the occasional Absinthe Lounge parties that Sebastian schedules in the restaurant -- events that regularly draw a hundred or more fans of the bitter, green, arguably poisonous liquor so favored by grumpy French midgets and aficionados of all sorts of strange kicks. The parties (which take place on Fridays once or twice a month) are a showcase for dancers, drinkers, artists and musicians looking to get weird while local DJs spin psytrance -- a dark, melodic kind of party music that clocks in around 140 bpm and originated with Israeli DJs working the Goan club scene.
And yes, my friends, the bar is pouring real absinthe, a liquor made from wormwood that could kill you in high doses, but when imbibed with some restraint merely makes you want to become an impressionist painter or commit highly public acts of performance art. For the record, it's not absinthe that's illegal, but wormwood -- which is listed as a controlled substance by the FDA. But since absinthe is made with wormwood...well, you get the idea. For a long time, there was no real absinthe to be had anywhere in the United States (although you could get a poor facsimile, anisette tinted green with food dye) because the importing of wormwood was roughly equivalent to importing giant bales of weed. But at the Peacock's Absinthe Lounge parties, the house brand is Savoir Traditions, imported from the south of France and made with Roman wormwood -- a very important distinction, because while there are many types of wormwood out there, the FDA has only gotten around to making one of them a controlled substance, and that one ain't Roman.
Sebastian -- a musician when he's not promoting club nights at his dad's restaurant or hunting up unusual and delicious animals to add to the menu -- is a big fan of absinthe. He tells a story about how, after sipping a little one night, he went home and wrote an entire six-minute piano sonata. "A lot of the people who come here are artists and musicians," he says. "They say it helps them work. It gives you a feeling of calmness and clarity, like being drunk but not too drunk. People talk about mind expansion. It makes them think in unusual ways."
Check, check and triple-check. I remember the first time I tried absinthe, back in New York after a chef friend smuggled a couple of bottles into the country. It made for an interesting night. We played the Pogues very loud, chased the stuff with ginger ale (I don't know why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time), and I accidentally invented the frittata after hopelessly bungling the French omelets I was trying to make for everyone. I'm not saying that I was the first guy to make a frittata, mind you, just that I had no previous conception of anything called a frittata but somehow made an excellent one that night.
The cocktails at the Peacock's bar aren't cheap, and absinthe runs anywhere from eight to fifteen dollars a pop. But think of it this way: There just aren't many places in the country where you can try it, and someday the FDA may realize its mistake and makes all types of wormwood illegal. Here's more bad news: The Absinthe Lounge parties will end with the summer, because Sebastian is headed to Washington, D.C., come fall. Still, he assures me that after he's gone and the parties are no more, the bar will still serve the green fairy for as long as folks keep asking for it. Check www.royalpeacocklounge.com for information and to schedule a night to get your drunken French freak on.
Leftovers: When Snooze opened a couple of months ago at 2262 Larimer Street, owner Jon Schlegel promised super-late-night hours on the weekends -- but they've been slow to materialize. "Kitchen issues," Schlegel explains. "We didn't have the staff yet to be able to do it right."
But apparently that problem has been solved, because Schlegel informs me that Snooze's vampire hours will start this weekend or next, with the place opening at 1:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and staying open through 2:30 p.m. in order to capitalize on both the bar rush and the late-morning breakfast crowd. "It's good," Schlegel adds. "We're staffed now. The kitchen is learning the difference between Œover easy' and Œover medium.' I'm psyched for the shift to start."
More change is in store for the New York Pizzeria, which last month left its home at 4990 Leetsdale Drive. The move panicked local New York thin-crust purists, who called to tell me that one of the best spots for a good slice had suddenly gone dark. And the joint wasn't just dark, it was stripped bare -- down to smudged glass and a lone toilet shoved into the back. But as it turns out, owners Rick and Warren Mahlke already have a new space lined up over at 600 South Holly Street that's not only twice the size of the original, but comes with enough parking.
The brothers hail from the Midwest (when I asked Rick about his unusual accent, he admitted he just tells people he's "from upstate," as in New York, but if pressed will confess that it's actually upstate Minnesota -- about as far from New York as you can get before falling under the influence of California's foul gravity), but that doesn't prevent them from turning out the most authentic New York slices you'll find in Denver. And while a lot of New York Pizzeria's charm (for me, anyway) lay in its physical being -- cramped dining room, the smell of yeast and pulverized tomatoes, flour-dusted everything -- Rick explained that the move was necessary if the brothers wanted to continue turning out those killer pies.
"That old place had been too small for a long time," Rick explains, his accent more powerful (and recognizable) when he laughs. Not only that, but the brothers' landlord was looking to jack the rent on their old, dilapidated, 36-seat space by about six hundred bucks a month -- not the kind of hit a little neighborhood place takes lightly.
The new, eighty-seat spot, which shares a strip mall with a Colorado Athletic Club, should be up and running by mid-June, and is already in line for a beer-and-wine license come August. The menu will stay pretty much the same, except the brothers are adding a couple of salads to entice the CAC crowds. "After they see the salads, they might just say, ŒEh, I really want a pizza anyway,'" Rick says, outlining his plans for proudly corrupting the good habits of his new neighbors. "When people heard that we were going to be opening a pizza place next door to a gym, they thought that was a bad idea. But I tell them, ŒYou know, there's a lot of people who work out just so they can eat whatever they want when they're done.'"
And when they do, New York Pizzeria will be waiting.

Do an honest health check of the economy and you'll find that, however triumphant Gordon Brown is today, he has stored up huge problems for the future, says James Ferguson
According to an ICM poll this week, 46% believe Labour has the best policies on the economy versus only 22% who believe the Conservatives do. Can it really be true that Labour is no longer the party of tax and spend but is, as Gordon Brown claims, the true prudent guardian of stable, long-term growth?
The answer is absolutely not. Labour's first term saw Brown continue the reformist policies of the previous Conservative government and hold to a restrained new Labour tack when it came to spending. However, in the second term, spending restraint slackened off. Stealth taxes allowed the promise of no increases in the basic or higher-rate of tax to be kept (just), but only because the economy continued to grow faster than most people expected. This in turn was because much of the growth came from (unsustainable) debt-financed consumption. Now, though, the Chancellor is running out of rabbits to pull out of the hat.
Gordon Brown inherited an economy in good condition. Then global deflationary pressures allowed for a sustained period of falling interest rates, which in turn triggered several rounds of asset-price inflation, making everyone feel richer and facilitating debt-financed consumption. That in turn sustained economic growth for 32 consecutive quarters of Labour administration. Unfortunately, hubris appears to have set in: Brown hastaken the credit for much of what has been a global phenomenon. Equally unfortunately, he has also taken the economic record for granted and set the stage for some nasty surprises.
"When the Chancellor inherited the economy from the Conservatives he was a very lucky Chancellor indeed and his fiscal policy was, initially, very sound," says Ruth Lea, director of the Centre for Policy Studies. But that was then and this is now. Old Labour allegiances have crept to the fore and, concludes Lea, "under his stewardship economic and productivity growth have slowed, the balance of payments figures have worsened, private-sector employment growth has fallen, the fiscal situation has deteriorated and international competitiveness has fallen".
So just how bad are things? Here we look at a nine-point check list of economic ingredients to assess Gordon Brown's performance as Chancellor. We've given him a score out of ten for each one. Our conclusion? History isn't going to give him the same accolades that he gives himself.
1. Economic growth (7/10)
The IMF recently dared to suggest that if the UK didn't cut spending, taxes would have to rise. Brown, hubris intact, was furious. "The staff of the IMF have been wrong before about British growth," he said, and they'll be wrong this time too: stronger growth will provide the tax revenue necessary to cover any shortfall.
I wonder. In the last year alone, the Government has added 146,000 new public-sector jobs, which can easily enough obscure the fact that in the private sector the number of jobs has actually fallen. The staff at the IMF were looking at the workings of the private-sector economy, not the wholly discretionary (and rather less economically positive) contribution of the Government's (Labour-voting) payroll. Private-sector jobs are real contributors to economic growth, public-sector jobs are funded from the tax revenue that comes from that real growth. Although they're both jobs, in many respects public-sector jobs are just another form of Government spending, pure and simple. As the public sector grows and the private sector shrinks, it's hard to see how the economy can grow above trend.
2. Public spending (4/10)
Another concern about the new public-sector jobs Brown thinks are driving growth is the damage such a strategy does to the economy's future growth potential. Private-sector jobs are forced by competitive pressures to keep driving productivity growth. There is no such pressure on the public sector. The Centre for Policy Studies calculates that productivity in the economy as awhole grew by 1.2% in 2003 and 2.1% in 2004, yet in the public sectorit shrank by 1.3%. "The non-jobs being created by Labour have a doubly damaging effect," says Ross Clark in The Sunday Telegraph: "they add tothe taxation burden at the same time as they create scarcity", making it harder for "the wealth-creating private sector" to recruit. Over time, by forcing the economy to direct resources into the less productive area of public-sector jobs, real long-term growth suffers. Sir Christopher Gent, chairman of the advisory board of the independent think-tank Reform, reckons that "if public-sector productivity matched that of the private sector, annual economic growth would be lifted by half a percentage point". A productive economy will grow faster and a bigger economy can afford more services with a lower tax burden. Potentially a real win-win scenario. But not one we're going to see. The forecast is for public spending in 2008 to be 40% higher in real terms than it was in 2000. The consequences for growth will become apparent later.
3. Employment (5/10)
It was New Labour's realisation that, thanks to the deindustrialisation of the UK in the 1970s and 1980s, the economic focus in the 1990s was inexorably shifting away from the secondary sector (industrial and manufacturing) and the jobs-for-life demands of the past, and towards services that transformed the party into an electable alternative to the Thatcherite Conservatives. But without industry, where would jobs come from? These days, the answer is the public sector. Another beneficial consequence for Gordon Brown of the "creation of 583,000 public-sector jobs since 1997", writes Ross Clark, is that "these jobs have kept people from the dole queues". No mean feat when "one million manufacturing jobs have been lost" over the same period. Presumably the Government payroll will have little trouble soaking up the 5,000-odd jobs that are to be lost at Longbridge too. Or will it? Gordon Brown surely can't employ everyone?
4. Education (5/10)
In a speech in the City last week, Tony Blair confirmed the New Labour message, emphasising the need for "policies to foster enterprise and the knowledge economy upon which future wealth creation depends". This knowledge economy requires a major investment in human capital. However, this emphasis is not without irony. While it has been Labour that has overseen the demise of manufacturing, most of the (often subsidised) jobs lost have merely reappeared directly on the public payroll. Labour may no longer nationalise ailing manufacturing industries, but it is effectively still nationalising their workforces.
Future plans also look ill-considered. For example, Labour emphasises science and engineering qualifications – the sorts of skills that are often best suited to that same manufacturing and industrial job market that even Labour admits is now lost forever.
5. Taxation (3/10)
According to Sir Christopher Gent, "the last Budget planned for the tax burden to increase in each year of the next parliament, reaching its highest level for 25 years in 2009-2010". For all Blair's talk of "our development as an enterprise society", the old habits of tax and spend seem harder to break. Apart from the infamous 66 stealth taxes (68 if you include the increased burden of parking and speeding fines), all independent observers believe tax rises are inevitable after the election. The tax-take is already 36% of GDP, up from less than 33% in 1993-1994. Reform argues that currently planned public spending "will rise by 40% in real terms and by five percentage points of gross domestic product" between 2000 and 2008. By then, the tax-take is forecast to exceed 38% of GDP, just shy of 1985's record (see chart to left). If the recent super-charged rate of economic growth stumbles, these figures would swiftly look much worse.
6. Deficits (2/10)
There's a very good case to be made that recent GDP growth hasn't really been growth at all. In the same way that you don't measure your wealth by the size of your credit-card bill, deficit-financed growth is illusory and must be paid back at a later date. The Government has a budget deficit (or at least it would have if it wasn't for some last-minute statistical jiggery-pokery by the Office of National Statistics) while household-sector debt has breached the £1trn mark and the nation's trade deficit is £58bn, one of the worst on record. Some of this is the Chancellor's fault. Brown gave the Bank of England freedom to set interest rates, but he still sets the parameters for their decisions. When the Retail Price Index inflation measure looked in danger of crossing its 2.5% threshold at the start of last year, which would have triggered an abrupt end to the low interest rates that fuelled the housing boom, Brown shamelessly switched the measure to the significantly less rampant Harmonised Consumer Price Index (HCPI) – or CPI for short.
The very clear and present danger now is that delayed action raising rates in the past, having allowed house prices to rise too far, will now necessitate higher rates for a longer period to bring the housing market back into equilibrium. And the economy has never sustained a period of falling house prices without that being reflected in much slower consumer expenditure, or without triggering an increase in savings patterns.
7. Inflation (5/10)
Even the new CPI jumped to 1.9% last month, just 0.1% shy of its 2% inflation threshold. This makes further hikes in interest rates more likely not just in the near term, but probably throughout the rest of this year. The risk is that, having forced the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) into delaying their response to inflationary pressures, Brown has pushed the MPC into incubating a classic wage-cost push inflation spiral. MoneyWeek covered this in detail last week, but suffice to say, once started, such inflationary spirals are almost impossible to control. This late in the cycle is always a dangerous time, what with the twin threats of economic slowdown and late-cycle inflationary pressures, but the trade deficit makes us especially vulnerable.
8. Sterling (7/10)Trade deficits usually mean weak currencies. We've yet to see that this time round, but note that the US dollar is already three years into a downtrend caused by twin Government and trade deficits. What makes us think we're so different? Whoever wins this election is likely to preside over a significant drop in the pound's value. And as that would mean all our imports would become more expensive in sterling terms, it would also mean more inflation.
9. Pensions (1/10)
Pensions are in a real mess. So much so that Oliver Letwin is happy to blow most of the £4bn of savings David James has identified in his review of public spending on what The Times called "a tax boost for pensions". The main blame for this can be laid at Brown's door. First, he in effect destroyed private-sector final salary schemes when he abolished corporate-tax breaks. Now, only public-sector employees, like MPs, get final salary schemes. Second, Government interference has caused excessively low savings through low rates and encouraged debt-financed consumption.
Brown's overall score is a fairly lowly 39 out of a possible 90, or 43%. Back when I was at school, that would actually have been classified as an 'F'. However, under New Labour, standards have naturally slipped. At least in the Chancellor's mind, then, he's still top class.
Yet for all the criticism, and there aren't many areas where Brown's policy has been an unqualified success, there are few who feel truly poor or angry. At least not yet. Blair's command of what he calls the "progressive centre-left" position has left Oliver Letwin with little radical to say about his party's economic plans. But this won't last. Labour's third term will prove interesting, particularly as the one thing we can say for sure is that taxes will have to go up. The restraint of the first term gave Labour the platform to spend in the second. And it did: up by 1.6% a year in the first term, spending increases have averaged 4.4% since 2001. If I were Letwin, I think I'd be happy to make a virtue of a necessity – to sit this one out and watch Labour reap what it's sown

Court diversion for three CSC athletes charged with thefts
RUTLAND Two of the six Castleton State College student athletes charged with stealing merchandise from a sporting goods store in Rutland Town have completed a court diversion process and have had the charges against them dismissed.
Students George A. Busharis, 19, of Mansfield, Mass., and Mark Comstock have both completed court diversion, according to court records. The details of the court diversion process that they went through are confidential. However, diversion cases generally involve restitution work on the part of an offender who has taken responsibility for a crime. In exchange for taking responsibility and performing restitution, the criminal case against a defendant is dropped and information about the case is eventually sealed.
Only defendants charged with misdemeanor offenses are allowed to participate in diversion.
Both Busharis and Comstock faced misdemeanor counts of retail theft for their role in what Vermont State Police said were multiple thefts by members of the CSC football and soccer teams who stole more than $1,000 from Dicks Sporting Goods.
Police say Busharis and Comstock conspired with Brandon Boyle, another CSC student athlete, who worked at the store. A felony charge of retail theft is still pending against Boyle, who has pleaded not guilty to the offense.
Police said that by using computer transaction records and surveillance footage from the store, they identified several occasions in which Busharis, Comstock and the other student athletes approached the counter where Boyle was working with a large amount of merchandise. Boyle would scan each item into the stores computer system, then void out all but one inexpensive item, police said.
Managers at Dicks became suspicious of Boyle, police said, after they noticed a pattern of voided transactions on his part totaling thousands of dollars. The store tracked credit card numbers to link customers to those transactions, according to court records.
When police arrested Busharis in the parking lot after being called by the store Sept. 10, according to affidavits, he had about $300 worth of merchandise, but his receipt showed him paying only $3.20 for a single bottle of 5-hour Energy drink.
Three other students charged in the theft ring, Eric N. Cross, Dominic S. Heller and Zachary J. Howe, all pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.
The status of their cases is unknown. Their cases are no longer on file at Rutland criminal court. However, that doesnt mean they were dismissed. Cases referred to court diversion are confidential, according to court clerk Laurie Canty, until participants either complete the process or flunk out and return to face their criminal charges.
The Rutland Herald could not confirm whether Cross, Heller and Howe are participating in the diversion process.

Custom initrd & linuxrc console issue
OK - about 40 hours later - I cannot fix this last piece of my custom linuxrc for my custom initrd. BTW - this for an embedded x86 project thats going to boot from a flash drive but during the prototyping I am want to gen a boot CD. So the the current target is bootable LiveCD.

Well after reading the pivot_root man page closer, I came across:
Note that exec chroot changes the running executable, which is necessary if the old root directory should be unmounted afterwards. Also note that standard input, output, and error may still point to a device on the old root file system, keeping it busy. They can easily be changed when invoking chroot (see below; note the absence of leading slashes to make it work whether pivot_root has changed the shell's root or not).
So I a changed
Code:exec dev/console 2>&1 exec chroot . /bin/ash <<- EOF exec /sbin/init EOF
Code:exec chroot . sh <<- EOF <dev/console >dev/console 2>&1 exec /sbin/init EOF
I hope this helps anyone with similar issues - or my assumptions here are wrong please let me know!
