Delhi Belly? What about Jelly Belly?
Trip Start

Trip End

Where I stayed
Posada Del Parque
We arrived at the airport at about 05:40 in plenty of time for the flight. We had no idea what to expect for such a cheap price but the Star Peru counters were heaving, there were four counters and someone at a desk at the front trying to organise things and check people had flights booked. It was nothing short of a scrum and after 20 minutes we got to the front and got told to go to the back of the queue as there was no desk open. This was about 1 hour before the flight departed. There was shouting and a bit of a scuffle nearly broke out, we bypassed the woman at 06:15 (with 45 minutes to go) and just joined one of the queues by pushing past her. At 06:35 the woman was crying and had pretty much given up, Erica was raging and ready to start shouting at her. At 06:45 we pushed to the front shouting "Arequipa", we got waved to a desk who put stickers on the bags, gave us boarding cards and shouted "go go go, do not stop running", (wish we had met her in China when GO GO GO was all the rage). We sprinted up the stairs shouting and pushing people out of the way, ran straight to the front of the queue at the place they stop you to pay the airport tax, we didn't pay the tax and just ran straight through we pushed in at security and ran to the gate like our lives depended on it. We were ushered onto a bus where we waited for about another 3 minutes while the other passengers who had been stuck in the chaos finally made it through. We jumped on the small plane, and the plane left straight away. I had �2 on our bag not being on the plane, no chance not in that time.
Predictably Erica slept the whole journey bar when I woke her up for a cheese and ham sandwich and a brew (included in the price!). When we landed it already felt like it had been such a long day and it was only about 10am. The airport was tiny and stood in the shadow of a huge volcano. A taxi to town was less than �3, we hadn't however printed out the hostel reservation (but then again we never really have anything printed out, it's too expensive), so pointing at the book we recalled where we were staying and the taxi driver took us straight there. We have come to Arequipa, partly because it is apparently one of the most beautiful cities in South America (Peru's second city) but mostly to go trekking in the Colca Canyon. The Colca Canyon is bigger and deeper than the Grand Canyon in Nevada (another of our past exploits) and we were really looking forward to a two day trek.
A really nice friendly man asked if we had a reservation at the hostel, we said yes and without checking we were given the choice of two double rooms, wifi passwords and told to see him in the travel agency to talk about trekking for first thing tomorrow. We wandered up a flight of stairs and got chatting to the guy. We went through the options and to be honest had cocked up a little, we didn't realise either that we were back at altitude (having come from sea level that morning) or that the canyon is at times higher than the Inca trail. The guy told us it would be dangerous for us to do the two day trek, and wouldn't even recommend the three day trek insisting we must have a day to acclimatise. As we didn't have the time we plonked for the option of sitting on a bus and being driven about visiting all the best look outs, towns and villages. The guy started to fill out the voucher but it was in the name of Ian Smith, we questioned that and it turned out his only reservation and the one we had filled was for Ian Smith. We gave him our details then went off to check the internet, we were a little surprised (but I suppose we shouldn't have been) when we realised we were in completely the wrong hostel and sat in someone else room. We were in hysterics!
After e-mailing the proper hostel they were fine with us staying where we were so we wandered around the city for a few hours. The Plaza del Armas is beautiful and all made of white stone as is the cathedral. After a good walk round it was time to stick to the rules of arriving at Altitude (3250m in case you're wondering), that is eat light and don't drink. We found a heaving locals joint and found it was �2 for a set menu of three courses so we jumped in the queue and eventually found a seat. We had no idea what we were ordering and ended up both having a dish we had no idea what it was and a steak. The soup came and it was huge, it had a full cut of meat, a piece of corn, about 4 potatoes, nuts, lentils and just about everything else you can probably buy in Peru. By the time we finished the soup we were stuffed.
Next we were served a bowl of jelly, which was odd, but we decided to leave that and see if the steak arrived. It didn't but a piece of barbequed chicken with beetroot, carrots and rice did, it was really good and I asked for the sauce some of the other tables had, don't think it was supposed to come with ours but confused she brought it over and watched me pour it on. It was really spicy but very good. All washed down with a Litre of Inca Cola, we could barely move. Erica despite my protests that jelly is made with water that hasn't been boiled decided to eat the jelly anyway, I helped out by offering a list of diseases she was probably contracting by taking a risk eating jelly when we were already ready to explode - she had no problems though so I ate my words.
We headed back to try and carry on booking more bits and bobs from our plan before the prices go up again, after a problem with credit cards, and an hour on the phone to horrific tele-banking systems we still were not getting any closer so decided to make sure we did the other thing we shouldn't do, we decided to go for a drink and decide once and for all if we are getting married as soon as we get home, or if we will let Erica set a timescale when we get home. It sounds fairly straight forward but over the course of 6 pisco sours (on a 3 for 1 happy hour) and a bowl of chips and cheese, Erica decided what she wanted was the plan I did about 6 months ago having agreed venues and spoken to vicars etc. To make matters worse the lack of any kind of recovery in the UK construction sector is making us want to draw on all Stevie Z's contacts in China to earn some decent money or head back to Australia where the word recession is still unknown and decent coin can be earned. All in all the future is all very unknown at the moment but we need to earn some decent money and soon. Let's open a betting book on wedding dates now then! We got back to the hostel at about 11pm – Ian Smith wasn't in our room so that was good and we drifted off to sleep – well I did Erica spent hours on the internet looking at god knows what.

Child Benefit and Barbara Castle
Things I learned yesterday morning.
Multi-tasking is sometimes strangely satisfying. I took my netbook to the hairdresser so I could work while being remodeled. No guilt whatsoever and the added bonus of not having to discuss my plans for the rest of the day or whether I have started getting ready for Christmas.
Barbara Castle was a marvellous woman, feminist and politician. She featured in the research I did for a piece at my stv.tv blog about Child Benefit. I wonder whether society has changed enough to bin the benefit.
You don't need to actually do something to know how it should be done. Barbara Castle was neither a mother or a driver yet brought in benefits and legislation that improved the lot for road users and women with kids.
If you take your netbook to the hairdresser, be prepared to pick hair out of the keyboard for a long time. That's it really. Also be ready to shut the lid quickly when the come at you with 'product'.
Floor-length mirrors are not always an improvement. Redecoration time at the crimpers and they have lovely long mirrors at each cutting place. However, I don't want to be faced with the whole nasty socks and all view of myself every time I glance up. Maybe it's a psychological trick that any new 'do' will be an improvement on the barefaced, towel draped view.
Speaking of hair, never judge a woman by her 'do'. Babs may have had a Maggie, but her politics were a very long way away.
Barbara Castle,
child benefit,
other things I have learned,
3 comments:
Barbara Castle is one of the unsung heroes of the feminist movement. She was a woman of great principle and pragmatism, and one of the most capable Ministers we ever had.
Shame that she was never given even more opportunity to make differences on an even wider scale.
Thanks for reminding us of her. Did she write any memoirs or has anyone written her biography? If so, I'd love to read.

We recently saw David Gordon Green (successfully) take on a two-person road trip of sorts with Prince Avalanche at Sundance and now South by Southwest will get its own, much more violent version with Scenic Route. The directorial debut of commercial helmers Kevin and Michael Goetz features two life-long friends who head out on a road trip that turns disastrous and we've got the first trailer today.
Far removed from his recent Safe Haven role, the film stars a bloody, mohawk-wearing Josh Duhamel alongside comedy actor Dan Fogler. This brief, strange tease only gives us an introduction to the proceedings, but this is certainly a welcome new road for both of these actors. Check it out below thanks to First Showing for the film written by The Beaver's Kyle Killen.
Mitchell (Josh Duhamel) and Carter (Dan Fogler), life-long friends who have drifted apart, are on a road trip when their old pickup breaks down, leaving them stranded on an isolated desert road. Nobody can pick apart a man like his best friend, and as the relentless elements of the desert grind them down, they start to attack each other's life decisions with unwavering brutality. As they question who they are and who they could have been, their agitation leads to physical confrontation and ultimately knife-wielding madness, and what begins as an inconvenience becomes a very real life or death struggle.
Scenic Route premieres on March 9th at SXSW 2013.
The thoroughly unsettling Faults, in theater this weekend, knows how to push the audience's buttons in the right order to get the most out of a small budget and setting. The film follows Ansel (Leland Orser), a once-famed cult deprogrammer that is looking at diminishing returns on his success. When a couple find him in hopes that […]

Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to the field of authentication-based data sharing, and more specifically to sharing data across a distributed computer system based on an initial sign-on. 2. Background of the Invention The average computer user accesses a variety of computer applications in a number of settings. These applications may include a combination of local, LAN, and WAN applications hosted on a variety of operating platforms, such as Windows�, mainframe, Unix, Linux, or Macintosh� platforms. The user may access these applications from a variety of locations over the course of a working day by utilizing a laptop, desktop, special use computer, kiosk, conference room terminal or other machine. Interruptions in workflow and changes in user location occur regularly over the course of a normal working day. Each time a user resumes her workflow, time must be spent logging on to applications and/or restoring settings or other data from a previous computing session. Many of the applications a user accesses throughout the day will require the authentication of the user, most commonly through a sign-on transaction involving a user identifier and password. Each application and each platform may include its own procedures for generating, storing, and validating user sign-on transactions. As each application is started, it will generally require the user to follow its sign-on procedure. Each application may have different rules for acceptable user identifiers and passwords, including different combinations and patterns of letters, numerals, or other characters. Requiring multiple sign-on transactions by the user represents a productivity loss due to time and distraction, may discourage the adoption and use of some applications, and may require the user to manage multiple user identifiers and passwords. Furthermore, there is often still a lag between the time a user launches and is authenticated on an application and when the user can be fully productive. Typically, a user will need to make adjustments to the application to reflect her preferred settings. Sometimes in order to access a file for use in one application, another file management program must be launched as well. Where more than one application is being used simultaneously�a common occurrence as a worker may need to monitor email, active jobs that are being processed, or other tasks while working in another application�or where tasks within the same application are being used, the user may also have to manually resize the window displays showing the different tasks. When a user moves from one terminal to another, such information is lost and must be regenerated. In addition, temporary data such as the user's specific location within a file, the collection of files that are simultaneously open, and other information specific to a user's experience cannot be saved and retrieved easily. If the user changes terminals, or there are gaps between her active working times, both frequent occurrences in the workplaces, she must recreate the setting she left before she can be productive. During the course of a working day, much time is wasted across enterprises in authentication tasks, restoring preferences, settings, and application data as a user moves from one working location to another. No single system for reducing the time wasted in logging on to single applications and constantly restoring non-authentication preference, setting, environment, and temporary data when users move across an enterprise currently exist. There are limited solutions for consolidating sign-on tasks, such as those offered by Netscape, Liberty Alliance, Plumtree, and Microsoft Passport. Enterprise systems for enabling single sign-on transactions for multiple applications across platforms include IBM Enterprise Identity Mapping (�EIM�), Siteminder, and ETrust. However none of these also allows for the capture, storage, and retrieval of authentication and non-authentication data across different users, platforms, and terminals. Operation of IBM's EIM is illustrative of current approaches to providing a single user sign-on transaction for sign-on to multiple enterprise applications. IBM's EIM stores multiple user identities and related user authentication information from across user registries associated with OS platforms, applications, and middleware. The user identities are stored in a well-known data source accessible throughout the enterprise, such as a lightweight data access protocol (�LDAP�) server. The IBM EIM provides common services across platforms for accessing the mappings. EIM allows a user to execute a sign-on transaction that generates an electronic validation ticket. That ticket is then used to validate the user to a predetermined set of systems and applications defined in the EIM data source based upon the user identities stores in that data source. Although IBM's EIM and similar systems do support some form of single sign-on, they do not support the cross-platform sharing of non-authentication data. Because of this, integration among applications is limited. Further, they do not allow users to move among terminals while maintaining state, preference, and other application data. Thus there is a need for systems that automatically authenticate users and facilitate the sharing of data across an enterprise, thus allowing users to move seamlessly between terminals, applications, and platforms without having to recreate their workplace environment in each new setting. The figures depict embodiments of the present invention for purposes of illustration only. One skilled in the art will readily recognize from the following description that alternative embodiments of the structures and methods illustrated herein may be employed without departing from the principles of the invention described herein. A user may save this temporary state data while using the application 112 on one machine operating on one platform, then retrieve it later while using the application on another machine 110 & 150 operating on a different platform. In this way, cross-platform sharing of a variety of kinds of data among different applications 112 in different domains can be accomplished. As used herein, the terms �platform� and �operating platform� include operating systems and environments such as Microsoft Windows, Sun Java Desktop, mainframe operating systems, Internet Explorer or other web browser, Unix, Linux, and the like. Requests to store or retrieve data 152 can be sent directly from a requesting machine 150 to the data registry 140. If the request 152 is valid and the data is available, then the requested data or a confirmation of the storage of the data will be returned 154 to the requesting machine 150. Alternatively, requesting machines 110 may send more general requests 120 to a single sign-on server 130. The server then processes the requests 120 and determines what access to the data registry will be required to fulfill the requests 120. Based on this determination and knowledge about the configuration of the data registry 140, the single sign-on server 130 sends a data request 132 to the data registry 140, which can then return the requested data 134 or a confirmation that data has been stored as requested 134. The single sign-on (�SSO�) server 130 takes this data and processes it to formulate a response 122 to the requesting machine's request 120. It then returns this response 120 to the requesting machine 110. The system of Flexibly, the single-sign-on data sharing system of The system of In one use of the system of Non-authentication data may encompass any kind of data other than authentication data. This may include, for instance, environment data describing the appearance of a user's desktop or launch data that specifies the order in which applications should be launched or what options within an application should be elected upon launch. It may also include application and file data that can be saved at various stages during a user's session, including the configuration of elements within an application. Other non-authentication data, including as described above, associated with a user application 112 could comprise a bug number in a problem tracking system, a customer number in a customer relations management application, an invoice number in an purchasing order system, a hostname/program name in a debugger. An application or operating system may be coded to capture and save such non-authentication information automatically, upon a prompt, or at regular intervals. In an embodiment, this information can then be sent to single sign-on server 130 to be stored in the data registry 140. Alternatively, the data registry 140 is pre-populated with non-authentication information collected from a user or other source. The non-authentication data is stored in the registry 140 in association with the user and the application, which can be identified in the data itself or by a handle or token associated with the data that identifies the requesting entity. Later, when the user, application, or system seeks to call up this non-authentication data, even while operating in a different domain or platform, it can make a request to the data registry 140, through the sign-on server or directly. Once it receives the data, the requesting user, application, or system can use it to customize or populate the user's operating environment. How different types of data generated by different applications and platforms can be uniformly stored and fetched using the same protocol is described in greater detail below in the discussion of Web Services technologies. As discussed above, requests to fetch 120 & 152 or store data can be made, directly to the data registry 140 or through a single sign-on server 130 in communication with the data registry 140. It may be advantageous for a requesting machine 110 & 150 to be in direct contact with the data registry 140, thereby cutting out the middleman of the single sign-on server 130. Alternatively, if requesting machines 110 & 150 and the registry 140 are geographically dispersed, it may be more efficient for requests to go directly to the data registry 140. Other topologies and maintenance considerations may favor the use of the single point of contact provided by the single sign-on server 130. For instance, when multiple computers 110 & 150 and users require access to the data registry 140, as shown in To support this role, the single sign-on server 130 carries out several functions. First, it receives requests from calls made by the requesting application 112, user or system. The single sign-on server 130 then processes these calls, and determines what information, if any, must be retrieved or stored from the data registry 140 to carry out the request. It might identify where in the registry 140 the information should be retrieved or stored, for instance. In another embodiment, the single sign-on server 130 is configured to cache some data locally, for instance based on a priority scheme, so as to avoid the need to always interface with the data registry 140. In systems where the calls are being sent from different environments, the single sign-on server 130 is equipped with the ability to process data stored in different formats. A single sign-on server 130 may be configured any of a number of different ways. It may be hosted on the same machine 110 as a requesting application 112, or the data registry 140, or be hosted on another server or machine. In some embodiments, the various components of the single sign-on server 130 may reside on different machines in different locations. As mentioned above, the data registry 140 of As shown in As shown, the single sign-on server 130 and Machine 1 150 of Each of the communications protocols described in the preceding two paragraphs may be implemented, in part, over a wireline or wireless local and/or wide area network or may use any conventional networking technology, such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, or HTTP. Individual communications between locations may be supported by an IEEE 1394 FireWire, 802.11 universal serial bus (�USB�), serial, and/or parallel connections. In the environment shown in In the system of The global user name and password provided by the user and a request to validate them 120 a are sent to the authentication module through the application-single sign-on interface. The authentication module parses the request 120 a, and from it, determines that it must compare the user name and password provided to it and User1's authentication information stored in the data registry 140. A call to retrieve the needed data 132 is sent to the data registry 140 via the single sign-on server 130 data registry 140 interface. The data registry 140 returns the data 132 to the authentication module, which then carries out the comparison step. Assuming that the information matches, the authentication module sends back a response 122 b to the application conveying that User1 can be signed on based on the information provided. This allows the application 112 b and every subsequent application on Machine 2 110 a to access the enterprise registry as User1. The customer call tracking application 112 b is coded to periodically save data about the user's session such as the current open customer or call number, as well as the position and size of the application's window. This information is sent to the single sign-on server 130, which in turn oversees its storage to the data registry 140. While browsing a call for a customer, User1 may need to ask a fellow user (User2) a question. Once data about User1's session has been saved to the data registry 140, User1 walks over to User2's office, and they start the same customer call tracking application 112 c on User 2's Windows XP system, hosted on Machine 3 110 b. The user logs in as User1. Once the application 112 c starts, it retrieves User1's data from the data registry 140, and begins with the same customer and call number being open and with the window in the same size and position as User1 left it on User1's Unix machine 150. In this way, work can continue where User1 left off, with minimal lost time and effort. Although non-authentication data will typically be associated with a particular user in a domain, in an embodiment, the data associated with one user may be accessed and used by other users. This could be particularly useful, for instance, when a user seeks the input of multiple other users to a problem that the user is working on. When prompted, the user can chose to make her data available to a set of other users that can be designated by global username or other identifier. The data can then be made accessible in a shared database entry, or through other means. A user could indicate that certain classes of users should be allowed access or, alternatively, that the data should be made available to all. In another embodiment, after the data is stored, a message alerting other users to the availability of the data can be automatically sent or sent with comments from the generating user. The functionality of data-sharing across users could be coded into the application, which could ask the user what permissions are needed to access the user's non-authentication data. While specific implementations may vary, non-authentication data can thus be shared not only over the different times periods but also different users operating on different platforms. In the foregoing description of one use of a cross-platform data sharing system, requests 120 & 152 are sent from requesting applications 112 and responses 122 & 154 are generated and delivered back to the application 112 based on data contained in the single sign-on server 130. The requests 120 & 152 described above include the request to authenticate a user, the request to store or set data in the data registry 140, and the request to fetch or get this data when user1 goes to another machine 110 & 150 and accesses the same application 112. In other embodiments of the invention, other requests 120 & 152 and responses 122 & 154 may be desirable. As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention support the sharing of data across different computers and different platforms. The processing and transport of requests 120 & 152 and responses 122 & 154 in different formats can be accomplished in several different ways. A set of commands and communications can be coded for each different data format. However, this process is laborious and time consuming, multiplies the maintenance burden, and also requires the command receiver, typically the single sign-on server 130, to support all of the different command formats. The use of middleware or enterprise application integration software can ease the burden, but cannot avoid the creation and use of customized code. Another option is presented by Web Services for allowing different computer systems on different platforms to communicate with each other. Because they rely on platform-neutral industry standards, Web Services technologies enable the various components of a cross-platform data sharing system to use the same protocol for communications. So whether the requesting application 112 is a COBOL application operating on a mainframe or a Windows application written in C++ on a workstation, either one will call a single sign-on server 130, for instance, the application 112 will generically call a Web Service. Web Services calls to log on a user, set attribute data, and get attribute data can be used to support the cross-platform data sharing system of How requests are specifically made can vary depending on a variety of factors including the characteristics of the requesting system, whether requests 120 & 152 are routed through a single sign-on server 130, and aspects of the data registry 140. Although the specific protocols described above may differentiate various cross-platform single sign-on data sharing systems from one another, the same logical sequence can support various implementations of such systems. According to the flow chart of If there are no active programs, a second determination is made whether or not the user is logging on to the system for the first time 322. The user may indicate that she is logging in for the first time, for instance by clicking on a specific link on a web page. Alternatively, the mere fact that the user name provided by the user cannot be found in the data registry 140 may cause the system to inquire, and the user to confirm, that the present instance is the first one in which the user is logging on to the single sign-on data sharing system. If this is the case, a verification module may set out to verify the identity of the first time user 324. This module may, for instance, have access to a directory of confidential information comprising pre-assigned passwords or other identifying data such as employee number, birth date, or biological data. The verification module may prompt the user to provide the confidential information, and then compare it against the information in the directory. Alternatively, the verification module can generate and send a confidential password. When the user provides the generated password, her identity is confirmed 324. Once the user's identity is confirmed, a password capture utility can be launched 325. This utility can be used to create a global user id and password for the user, and capture and store authentication information associated with applications launched during the user's computing session. In one embodiment of the password capture utility, the utility prompts the user to provide a global user id and password according to pre-set criterion, for instance governing the length and alphanumeric characteristics of the password, which are stored to a registry. Subsequently, the password capture utility gathers data about application and domain authentication data associated with the user. In one embodiment, the password capture utility comprises a wizard tool with a graphical user interface that specifically asks the user for all of the user's authentication information. In another embodiment, the utility uses a scripted dialog to gather the information. It may save the global user ID and password provided by the user as the user name and password for the local application, consistent with the access protocols of the local application. Alternatively, the password capture utility can monitor the user's movements during a computing session. Whenever the user provides a user name and password to access an application, domain, or other site, the utility records the authentication information, and then sends it to a registry to be saved. If there are no active programs but the user is not logging on for the first time, she is prompted for and provides her global user name and password 320. Although she is now authenticated globally, the user still needs to be authenticated locally for the application she seeks to launch. However, because the user has already been authenticated globally, she is not prompted for this data. Instead, a request to fetch the user authentication data associated with the application is sent 330, and with the data sent in response to this request 330, the application authenticates the user 350. The steps are similar if there is an active program when the user first attempts to launch the application. The determination that there is an active program signals that the user has already been signed in globally. Therefore, rather than prompting the user for her application authentication information, a request for this information is sent 330, and the user can be authenticated with the information provided 330, 350. In this way, the user never has to provide any application level user names or passwords, but is authenticated automatically at this level. Once the user is logged in, a registry of active program can be updated 360. After the user is logged on to the application, various triggers to fetch or receive data may be activated 370. For instance, the successful log in of the user could trigger a series of calls to request settings or active session data associated with the user. The calls may ask if there are stored values associated with a key value pair, as discussed above. A response that the data doesn't exist, or that the data does exist and which retrieves the data, can be sent to the application. The application can use settings or session data that it receives in response to its request to customize the user's environment, or restore the user's active session. Later, during the user's computing session, the application might be triggered to save the temporary state data of the application at regular intervals to allow the user to easily move from one machine to another. Another trigger could be the launch of multiple sub-windows within an application, leading to the requesting 380 and receiving 390 of window configuration data from The registry 140. The process of sending requests 380 and receiving responses, initiated by various call triggers, can happen multiple times over the course of a user session. When the user logs out of the application 400, for instance by closing it down, engaging a log out procedure, or through another mechanism, The registry 140 of active programs is updated 360 to reflect the end of the active session. To take full advantage of the cross-platform data sharing capabilities of a single-sign-on system, standard applications may need to first be equipped with supplementary functionality. In one embodiment, an application is defined as operating within a certain domain, and is coded to require its users to log on to the application. The application is also coded to invoke Web Services calls to send requests to a single sign-on server 130 to authenticate users and store/fetch data. What particular data may be stored/fetched for use by the application, and what events should serve as triggers for certain calls may also be specified. For instance, a developer could code an application to make a sequence of get API calls once a user logs on. These calls could comprise getting the user's preferred window width, then window height, then window size, and various user preferences that the application can use to tailor the user's working environment. Alternatively, an application can be coded to automatically save information at regular intervals, or when the application gets closed, or responsive to a user's request. In an embodiment, a user is logged on to an application 400, for instance, a customer relations management application. At some point during use of the application 400, a call trigger is activated 402, for instance, to prompt a call to store the current customer file, which could be made up of individual customer objects, and settings within which a user is working. The application 400 sends a request 410 to a validation module 420. It may send this request through a COM server or other module, or may be coded to make the request directly. It may ask, for instance, if the customer file can be saved. The scope of the call can comprise instance information�that is, the user using the application�about the request. The scope can also include domain information or a solution name. This identifying scope information is commonly used to identify the context and source of all calls made by the application. The call described in this case comprises a call to store non-authentication data. It could also be however, a call to fetch authentication data, for instance, responsive to the user's launch of a second application, or could be another call entirely. The validation module 420 receives the request. In an embodiment, the module can tell the scope by looking on an active program list; alternatively, the scope information is passed as part of the request 422 or through an identifying token or handle. The validation module then validates the request by verifying, for instance, that it is being sent in association with a recognized user of the data registry 140, and that the customer file data can be saved. This step may involve querying the data registry 140 or may be determined locally. If the request is determined to be valid, the validation module sends a confirmation to the application 412. The application 400 then initiates the call 404. The content to be stored is put into a key value pair. A sample name value pair for a call to store current file data could be �currentCustomerfile� for key, and the current customer's data for value. The request is packaged 406 according to the protocol for communication between the requesting application and the interface module. For instance, if a Web Services call is used to send the request, the request is formatted in XML. Together with the handler or token representing the scope, the request and the content are sent 414 via a Web Services call to the interface module 440. The interface module 440 receives and processes the request 442 from the requesting application 400. The interface module 400 may convert the XML formatted content into text or parse the content according to a Web Services schema as written in WSDL. In an embodiment, if the interface module 400 doesn't recognize the key of the key value pair, it creates a new one. Based on the request 410, in this case, to store the customer file and settings data, the interface module 440 formulates a database request 450. It knows the user and the application that have generated the request from the scope data provided. In an embodiment, the request is sent 450 through an abstracted data layer that resides on top of a communications layer dictated by the formatting requirements of the data registry 140. In this case, the interface module includes a data abstraction handler that manages calls to the data registry 140. The data registry 140 is configured to store both authentication and non-authentication data. In one embodiment of the invention, the non-authentication data is stored in a key value pair format, while the authentication data is stored in a more conventional table format. The authentication data can be stored in tables containing user, password, application, domain, and machine location information. The non-authentication key value information, on the other hand, is grouped by application and by user. Whereas authentication fields such as user name may be limited, for instance, to an eight-character field, non-authentication data may be stored instead as data objects or undefined text strings. This allows data generated by different applications on different platforms to be commonly stored in the same registry. Thus, although the authentication and non-authentication information is stored in the same registry, it may be stored in different ways to facilitate different data formats. The database request to store the key value pair in association with the user and the application is sent 450 to the data registry 140. Assuming the request id valid, the data is stored accordingly 462, and a response confirmation 452 is returned to the interface module 440. The interface module in turn processes this response 444 and sends the return value as the response of the Web Services call to the requesting application. The response may be formatted in XML, and is returned to the application 416. Although the foregoing has described a request to store data to the data registry 140, the same process can be used to fetch data from the data registry 140. In such a case, the response returned 452 from the data registry 140 to the interface module 440 contains the requested data. Once the response is processed 444 by the interface module 440, the data is sent 416 to the requesting application 400. The relevant data contained in the response is then integrated into the operation of the application 408. When a user wants to activate the offline functionality of a single sign-on data sharing system, a user registry 520 is created and stored in the local cache 518 of the machine. The user registry 520 essentially mirrors the user's records that are stored in the data registry 140. The records in the user registry can be stored in a local XML file or other format. When a user is logged on to an application 512 on the system, from the machine 510 or another machine, the user data in the data registry 140 may be altered or updated. When a user logs on to the machine 510 and the machine 510 is connected to the single sign-on server 130, a synching module 516 on the machine 510 automatically asks the single sign-on server 130 to retrieve any updated information associated with the user in the data registry 140. The machine 510 uses this to update the user registry in the local cache 518 to reflect any changes, additions, or deletions to the user's records. Changes to the user's records during the computing session are made to the data registry 140, however, when a user is logged off, the updated data is stored to the local user registry 520 in the local cache 518. When a user logs on to the machine 510 and the machine 510 is not connected to the network, a requesting application 512 can still retrieve user authentication and non-authentication data from the local user registry 520. Non-authentication application data can also be saved to the local user registry 520. The next time the user is logged on to the network, the synching module updates the data registry 140 with the data in the local user registry 520. Patent Citations

Why in the world would a guy just take in 6 kids sitting in his driveway talking about their dead teacher and not think to call the police? Likewise, why would they not have gone to the firehouse with the rest of the children? Who brought them to this guy's driveway?
Interesting also how he managed to "not be able to take in" the details of what the children witnessed so, like everyone else, has no idea what happened.

DALLAS -- Lamar Odom's debut as a Dallas Maverick on Christmas Day came with a stirring, standing ovation. On Monday night, Odom checked in against the Boston Celtics to a smattering of boos.
He did little to sway the fans' favor. The 6-foot-10 reigning Sixth Man of the Year ambled about for less than 20 minutes, scoring four points on 2-of-8 shooting -- missing all five shots from beyond the arc. He grabbed four rebounds and had a couple of assists, two steals and a block.

LoginCritic Reviews for Sarah's Key
All Critics (111) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (81) | Rotten (30) | DVD (4)
Well executed and avoids histrionic manipulation, allowing just enough breathing room without truncating the raw emotion of the book.
Never quite finds the right balance between the grave consequences of its period scenes and the relative small beans of the present-day ones.
A film that plays as a guilty remembrance of a dark corner of French history tucked into a ticking clock thriller.
Thomas carries the weight of the movie, and her usual sangfroid works against her; when she finally makes contact with the deported couple's grandson, the story crumples into sentimentality
The emphasis on the writer's relatively trivial if symbolic domestic woes (she experiences a 'miracle' pregnancy in the midst of her research into death) detracts from the power of the wartime scenes.
Makes a powerful impact thanks to the vividness and urgency of its historical scenes.
I'm delighted to see that the Weinstein Company is re-releasing one of the year's most overlooked films, Sarah's Key, the moving adaptation of Tatiana De Rosnay's international best-seller. It's one of the year's best films.
A very good film that ought to have been a great film, but greatness ultimately proves beyond its grasp -- if only just.
Teary-eyed absorbing Holocaust story.
Loses some force in its latter half but the key story remains gripping. Unlocks 70-year-old horrors so the present can't shut the door on past complicities and crimes.
Sarah's Key a poignant tribute to perseverance.
It's a harrowing story of a young girl trying to survive the extermination of everyone she knows. It's also a story of an upper-middle class woman dealing with an unhappy marriage. You just can't give these two things equal weight in a movie.
Sarah's Key is elevated by luminous performances by two actresses -- veteran Kristin Scott Thomas and 10-year old Melusine Mayance. Fortunately their talent often is able to transcend the contrivances that mar the plot.
The performances by Kristin Scott Thomas and especially Melusine Mayance (as the young Sarah) are key to the picture's success.
Scott Thomas's portrayal of her character's emotional transition ensures Sarah's Key will keep your heart open.
Anything that might convey the genuine horror of the monstrous acts committed against French Jews is delicately avoided by director Gilles Paquet-Brenner's respectful Steadicam.
French director Paquet-Brenner occasionally yields to melodrama, particularly in the final act, but he is resolute about not depicting all of his countrymen as Nazi stooges, since many weren't.
Although a wonderful story, it seems to come out in fits and starts. The slow, meandering pace may be a turnoff to those unfamiliar with the novel. Mayance, in her feature film debut, takes the cake in the acting category. Thomas is a...
"Sarah's Key" uses this buried historical incident as a springboard for a potent tale of survival, guilt and hard-nosed reporting.
Were it not for the subtitles, this could easily go out on ITV primetime.
Audience Reviews for Sarah's Key
An American journalist in Paris embarks on a story about the Holocaust and discovers connections between the past, her present marriage and her unborn child. Beginning as an article on the 1942 roundup of Jews in France as they were sent off to Auschwitz, it soon becomes a journey of self-discovery as the protagonist stumbles upon a terrible secret of a family forced out of their home and a young girl called Sarah who makes an impulsive decision to leave her younger brother locked in a cupboard. A film about the Holocaust is certain to be moving, but the circumstances in this one are harrowing, the truth astonishing, and the coincidences as unbelievable as the tragedy itself. It is a journalist's quest to dig up the lives of others and unleash the truth, but this film show the price of these actions. Sarah's Key takes us from Paris to Brooklyn to Florence and ultimately to the centre of the heart - showing that even the truth has its cost. And the sadness, as much as we try to unlock it, can never be erased. 5 stars 10-17-13
MoreSuper Reviewer
Great. Thought provoking. Well done. Perfect mix of the heart wrenching events of lives torn apart, the endless search of who we are, and the depths of depravity that mankind is capable of. Just when I think that I have seen every Holocaust movie around, another pops up. I can never learn enough about this era that tested our humanity...

A fictional story built around historical facts and events, Sarah's Key is an incredibly well-made film which draws us in and never lets go. Even after it's over, the images and emotions linger in my mind. I've been thinking about it for days. Beautiful cinematography, amazing acting from the young actors, and a powerful emotional punch make Sarah's Key unmissable. Read the book first, but do not dare miss this film.
