Growing Traffic Makes Control of File Transfer Essential
- January 23rd, 2015

The transfer of unstructured data (files) between business partners is growing at a brisk pace. This opens the door for potential error, compliance issues, and confusion.
According to a recent study by the Aberdeen Group, the number of end users requiring file transfer capability is growing rapidly, between 6% and 9% annually, as of 2013. The volume of file transfers per user is growing faster still, from 8% to 11% annually. Finally, the size of the average file to be transferred is also growing, from 6% to 7%.
The flip side is that IT staff to accommodate the increased traffic is not growing correspondingly.
A sensible solution for B2B partner companies needing to accommodate these increases is Managed File Transfer. MTF augments existing B2B data exchange mechanisms by off-loading the transfer of larger files to an independent mechanism, lessening resource consumption. It automates file transfers between B2B partners, incorporating detection and handling of transfer failures, which conventional file transfer does not; and it can authenticate users against AD/LDAP.
Industry uptake of MTF has been rapid, and it has taken up a permanent place in the B2B toolkit.

Warlocks this expansion have seen quite a significant drop in our playerbase. Here are some reasons, among many, why there are far fewer active Warlock mains today than ever before.
PvE Warlocks were pretty much top dogs in tier 11 due to multi dotting and lower gear levels. Affliction earned quite a reputation for rocking the charts. However, as more content and gear became available, we began to fall by the DPS wayside. We're at a point now where a shadow priest can inarguably out-dot affliction, out-burst Destruction, and, with a single keybind, consistently out-AOE Demonology, save for us blowing Demon Soul, Meta, Felstorm, Immolation Aura, and trinkets, I.E. all our cooldowns. They can essentially put all three of our specs' individual niches to shame with one well-designed and streamlined spec; for Boomkins, it's nearly the same situation. Demonology is widely regarded as the hardest spec to master in the game. We are required to be in melee range at all times, as a "ranged" dps. Our rotation doesn't follow any logical, fluid order and there's no method of finding out how to maximize DPS without referring to a third-party website to find out all the little 'tricks' necessary to remain competitive (Take pet-twisting for example, how many players out there do you think would independently come to the conclusion that its best to SUMMON a pet mid fight, blow CDs, then instantly re-summon the one we just had out moments before, to maximize DPS?) We have thirteen damage-dealing keybinds ALONE, not to mention the plethora of other spells we must have bound, as compared to six or seven damage dealing keybinds, at most, of any other damage dealing spec in the game. All this, and we aren't even close to Mages, competent Hunters, or the majority of Melee in dps unless we have an orange stick (and yes, I'm aware that all casters were balanced around having one, which is completely idiotic given how long they take to acquire. So before you start spamming raidbots links, take into consideration that all of those parses show casters with DTR and double DS trinkets, which are a nightmare in themselves to acquire. The main issue here is that our quality of life is not remotely quality at all.) |
In PvP, Warlocks are seen in the highest echelons of 3v3 arena play. We're on nearly every top 3's team. This can be attributed solely to the current state of the broken dispel system and the fact that fear ruins positioning. With our 30% healing bonus on demon armor and the fact that we possess two of the most EXTREMELY SITUATIONALLY powerful abilities in the game, we pay a heavy price in user-friendliness and solo-PvP play because we can't possess threatening burst for fear of making the top .5% of warlocks overpowered in a single facet of PvP. This goes directly against what Blizzard has stated in the recent past about not balancing around the Elite. For 99.5% (not a number I pulled out of my !@#$%^-*!; compare how many 2200+ warlocks there are to how many warlocks are played regularly, and you will see a very similar number) of the Warlock Playerbase who don't play at high rated arena levels, this is the very definition of alienation by design. In RBGs, Warlocks do well, with significant peels. If one melee decides to sit on the warlock in an RBG, we will do very minimal damage without a lot of friendly heals and peels; this is effectively distracting and making less effective 2-3 of your teammates by sticking a single rogue/DK on the 'lock. In 2v2, Locks are nearly completely unviable in any spec. (inb4 2v2 doesn't matter. It's a main way of attaining points for many casual PvP'ers.) The problem compounds when you consider the fact that Destruction happens to be non-viable in any type of competitive PvP, seemingly by no accident. I say 'Seemingly by no accident' because we've been petitioning for over a year and a half, for an indispellable (See: DK diseases) immolate, which is the keystone to nearly all our damage. Destruction's direct damage-dealing spells make up less than half of our overall damage, in a 6-years historically burst-centric spec. To add insult to injury, chaos bolt is the biggest joke of an end-talent since before Earthquake was buffed, and even then it was definitely in the running for worst talent in the game. With the spell making up less than 3% of Destruction's overall damage in PvE, there was absolutely NO reason for it not to be buffed to make destruction actually have burst even 3/4ths of what a frost mage with one thousand less spell power can accomplish. I have a frost mage, with ruthless gear, and the difference between it and Destruction is completely comical. Summed Up Cataclysm brought a new style of play for Warlocks which, as the number of active Warlock mains at the end of this expansion shows, was not well received, or widely enjoyed by the playerbase. With overly redundant rotations (three different fillers for demonology, all dealing nearly the same amount of damage, but all necessary to use depending on proccs), a VERY non-user friendly PvP experience save for the veteran hardcore PvP'ers in picture-perfect situations, and poorly thought out and designed mechanics and toolkits, one can begin to realize why Warlocks reside at just over one out of twenty players in this game, despite there being only ten classes. http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php?serverid=-1&factionid=-1&minlevel=85&maxlevel=85&servertypeid=-1

warlocks are least played because the style of people who fit their main audience tend to play a mage, just because it's the simpler archtype class.
It actually has less to do with staying power, and more to do with the fact that it's a niche class to pick up in the first place. |
Why play a Warlock and deal with the clunkiness and unnecessary complexity, not to mention the complete and total lack of spec identity, when I could just play a Mage that cuts down on the complexity by 90%, does the same or better DPS, uses the same gear as a Warlock, and has much better spec variety?
This is why no one plays a Lock. |
warlocks are least played because the style of people who fit their main audience tend to play a mage, just because it's the simpler archtype class. Not to mention the number of things to manage makes them rather aggravating to play after awhile. Or that the shadowpriest is like a lesser warlock (a AFFL/DESTRO lock hybrid really), and yet it is significantly more fun to play as since they don't have nearly as much crap to watch, among other things.

So you can come to the forums and feel superior to other players because you press more buttons, obviously. |
Can't wait to main my lock again in MoP! Blizzard has me sold on the new Destruction.
I try and level Warlocks, but they are just so boring.
Why is each spec reduced to spamming Shadowbolt all day. They also have an annoyingly awkward leveling path. Why do I not get Incinerate until level 66 when I can spec into it's talents much earlier? |
Why play a lock when a mage is 20 times easier.
I try and level Warlocks, but they are just so boring. Yes but, All specs rely on Shadowbolt as there primary attack. If there is one thing that Mages have over Warlocks its that our specs get separate nukes. |
Just made myself a lock, She's only level 13 but its alot of fun.
I went affliction, i pop Unstable affliction, curruption, that curse(not sure of the name), then start life drain while my pets finish up the mobs with more than one target, curroption on everything, then drainlife on the one with most health left....i've had 7 level 12's on me and survived with about 85% health....no problem |
This is one of my Warlocks,I would be fine if we had a Shadowbolt of a different color and element. But it is such a bore right now. |
Blizzard has built in escalating complexity and negative quality of life for reasons that only make sense to them for 2x expansions. What is most frustrating is how easily alot of this could have been fixed at any point with less than the effort they have put into other classes mid expansion. Its as if they truly expect anyone who would play a lock to be an advanced player, have and/or be capable of dealing with multiple complex addons, and have done extensive research outside the framework of the blizzard gaming experience just to play the class in pve. PVP seems to be a top .5% club where the entire community is tuned around that smallest of fractions. Hint, for .5% by its very definition is an escalating and moving target for the "l2p" naysayers.
As was pointed out pets and the AI behind them are never a positive factor. There is at least 1 fight per tier where having a pet is a complete liability and anytime there is a gimmick fight (some super buff or effect) pets don't scale. Al'akir p3 is still not compadible with lock pets and that problem was evident from beta, through content, up to today. How about alysrazor where shadowy apparitions can fly, a shadowfiend can fly, but lock pets despawn. I think the class impact (esp demo) if losing our dps cd, 20-25% mitigation, 15-40% of our damage, and critical utility abilities slightly outweighs shadowpriest meter padding or mana regen. That really says "you are a less valued aspect of the customer base" when devs can fix spriests but not locks like that. Not only that but even if a lock pet DID fly on alysrazor it wouldn't scale with the flight buffs. Those are big raid moments but there are daily frequent bugs impacting nealry every grouping of daily quest and day to day activity. So from the most casual 85 doing daily's to a HC raider its a universal problem to the class. Of the 2x least played classes (rogues and warlocks) rogues were given the easiest legendaries to build yet (10K gold vs 25 embers, etc). Not only that but their damage was tuned to such an absurd level the fotm reroll tide choked LFR, bgs, etc. Statements from blizz like "we want rogue damage to continue to be top tier" yet its okay for locks to be midpack at best...in fact it seems very very intended. Again, not so much a complaint as a valid reason why people don't play that aspect of blizzard's product. Warlocks are still "balanced" around a DTR and really have but 1 other viable weapon (h.lightning rod). We can't use stuff off madness and still hitcap since we can't convert spirit to hit and those weapons lack the hit we need to cap in DS bis gear. Not to mention by "balanced" locks are generally midpack at best if not near the very bottom. H.hagara locks are 3 of the 5 worst possible specs which includes pvp and non raid viable specs. We are either carried or the buff bot for h.spine. Even on h.morchok (the least relevant heroic fight) locks can't top when abusing 15% free spellcleave (plus a bit on top of that from BoH double dipping elements) nobody else can do. The level of complexity and skill required to play a lock to even "pug/LFR" competancy is vastly higher compared to nearly any other spec in the game. Its not bragging, its not fun, its WHY alot of people don't play locks. You can be an elite player and get stomped by bads in less gear. Does that sound like fun? PVP experience of getting into pvp is downright brutal. Until you are well past 4K resilience your life is miserable. Going into a bg or 2's match (where alot of people try to get into pvp) life is not fun even with the best of gear. You need too much babysitting in terms of heals, peels, and gear to be something someone WANTS to play in non organized or casual pvp. Yeah sure elite few or in the right circumstance but that is NOT the majority of the customer base. Locks have had exactly 1 spec for pvp all expansion so regardless of what skill level you pvp at its been a very boring time. Specs don't really feel that different. Not in the same way different specs of other classes, even pures, feel different. Everything is about stacking up tons of buffs on yourself, even more debuffs on the target, and coordinating dots+nukes+pet in some "Rube Goldberg DPS Machine" of a gameplay experience. Demo largely feels like aff w' weaker dots and a better CD. Destro hasn't had a nuke based identity this whole expansion. Its just different ways of already bloated complexity for complexity's sake. The percentages of where your dmg done comes from jump around spec to spec but its still lots of the same stuff. |

There are times when oneSubmitted by B M (not verified) on Tue, 12/11/2012 - 9:07pm.
There are times when one would do well to engage brain before they engage mouth, the article we are reading says the driver passed a school bus in a passing zone and it says the bus was NOT STOPPED!, meaning it was not illegal to pass the bus, next thing the article says was it was "6:00 a.m.", that would mean it was still dark, which would also mean it would be impossible to see a pedestrian walking on the road unless said victim had a light or reflective clothing, both of which I highly doubt, turning this into a very sad and tragic accident without any monday morning quarter backing, the driver will carry a lot of weight on their concious for the rest of their life. »

At Copenhagen climate change talks, researchers tout keeping trees as a solution
(Read article summary)Researchers at the Copenhagen global warning talks say they're finding success in reducing emissions by encouraging tropical countries to protect their forests.
Anja Niedringhaus/AP
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – If you want to help apply the brakes to global warming, save some trees – especially if they are in the tropics.
That's the simple idea behind one approach to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. And it's gained enough traction to become one of the few success stories so far at UN-sponsored global warming summit here in Copenhagen.
Delegates from more than 190 countries are grappling with difficult issues of money and emissions targets as they try to craft a follow-on to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
But while negotiators engage in diplomatic arm wrestling over emissions reductions and funding to help poor countries adopt cleaner technologies, and scientists present evidence of the dangers of carbon emissions, they are having a much easier time getting behind avoiding additional carbon dioxide (C02) emissions by keeping trees in the ground. It's an approach known by the acronym "REDD."
Talks over REDD's inclusion in any new climate agreement "are moving very well," said Markku Kanninen, senior scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, Indonesia. "It's one of the few issues that have no big difficulties," he told reporters.

Specialty Publishers: Volumes for the 'permanent bookshelf'
Since New York trade publishers don't like to bring out collections — faithful fans of the Reading Room will recall we once discussed this topic on an earlier thread — writers who specialize in short stories, essays and poems must often find other ways to bring their work to the attention of readers. While there are various forms of self-publishing available, this route still seems to me slightly tacky, too much like resorting to a vanity press. Hence, today's university presses look more and more like trade houses of 50 years ago, as they offer a wide range of non-academic titles, while specialty publishers have grown into a needed bastion for serious readers and writers.
I'm a fan of popular fiction published between 1880 and 1935, a time when the supernatural tale and classic detective story flourished. Think of M.R. James, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, May Sinclair, Vernon Lee, Oliver Onions, E.F. Benson, Walter de la Mare, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Conan Doyle, R. Austin Freeman, Ernest Bramah, Henry S.Whitehead and many others. All these writers have, during the past 10 to 20 years, been reissued in handsome editions from such presses as Ash-Tree, Tartarus, Centipede, Night Shade, Sarob, Wessex, Temporary Culture and a half dozen others.
But these days there is also a new generation of writers who work in these classic traditions, sometimes paying deliberate homage to older masters, more often refreshing the old forms by updating them to the present. They too have been published by these same presses. For instance, I recently received a gorgeous oversized book titled Secret Europe, a collection by Mark Valentine and John Howard, brought out by a press in Bucharest called Exposition Universelle. Cream colored paper, red chapter titles, wide margins, and excellent stories (spooky, Borgesian, redolent of central European learning and culture), this is a book that once seen is immediately coveted.
Similarly, the volumes published by Tartarus all come in soft yellow jackets, and maintain comparably high production values. The other publishers are just as distinctive and admirable, offering elegant design and superb craftsmanship. These books, I should emphasize, are definitely not print-on-demand titles. They are beautiful books, a pleasure to handle, treasures that one might pass along to heirs or, if need be, sell to other eager collectors. Each title is produced in runs of under a thousand, often just 250 or 300 copies. As a result, they do tend to be priced about twice what a trade publisher might ask, and most will cost $45 to $150. For an impecunious student, that's certainly pricey but for people who love books and bookmaking, or a particular author, these are volumes for what used to be called the "permanent bookshelf."
They are also the last refuge of the writer of short stories, slightly experimental fictions, and other uncommercial forms — at least for those who don't simply want to surrender to some kind of strictly e-book publication. In such cases, you possess not a book but merely its text — and sometimes that may be enough. But not for me. Certainly if you like a particular genre, you owe it to yourself and to that field to seek out the smaller publishers who reprint the rarities and publish the new authors.
But I still can't understand why New York publishers can't be bringing out more collections. I'd be eager to hear the reflections and thoughts of other members of the Reading Room. Do you purchase books from small presses and publishers? What kind of books? Have you been happy with the "product"? Do you have favorite publishers or titles? Please share your thoughts.

The rupee strengthened by 31 paise to 62.56 against the dollar in early trade on Monday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange on increased selling of the US currency by exporters and banks.
Forex dealers said strengthening euro against the dollar and fall in oil prices overseas following a key deal between world powers and Iran on its controversial nuclear programme and a higher opening in the domestic equity market also supported the local currency.
The rupee had gained six paise to end at 62.87 on Friday after the RBI was said to have stepped in to stem the fall.

Boasting one of the strongest viewerships in online porn, Reality Kings is a bold and adventurous network of 42 websites, each one given a niche interest to follow or genre conventions to exploit. From MILF Hunter to Moms Bang Teens, from Round and Brown to 8th St Latinas, from Pure 18 to Big Tit Boss, Reality Kings has a huge amount of stellar porn to offer and brilliantly constructed network on which to offer it. Dig in, it's so much better than real life.
Team Skeet's 20 original websites range from simple teen harlotry to European erotic hardcore and interracial fucking, and makes pitstops along the way to explore female masturbation, diminutive women, "homemade" sex tapes, POV blowjobs, and curvaceous young ladies with a penchant for climbing on top and riding their way to powerful orgasms. Though not without some faults, Team Skeet manages to keep things interesting and exciting for its devoted fans, of which you may soon become one.
As sinful as it is strange, esoteric studio Devil's Film presents its catalog of DVD titles on this site of the same name. Promising all the usual bounty - 1080p HD movies, high-res photos, frequent updates, a huge archive, and tons o' bonuses - plus such delights as Hair There and Everywhere, MILF Squirters, and I Wanna Buttfuck Your Daughter. Yessir, Devil's Film dares to wander into all regions of human sexuality (or at least the most amusing ones) and for that reason, could send you straight to hell. Approach with caution!
Porn is generally considered a white girl's game. Yes, there are plenty of Asian and African American pornstars fucking for their supper, but the more obscure ethnicities of the world tend to be ignored by casting directors, agents, and fans alike. Not so at ATK Exotics, though. A site built around the premise that any sexy young woman, regardless of her culture and heritage, can be a bona fide porn starlet, ATK Exotics brings you Eastern Europeans, Japanese, Portuguese, Somalian, and Native American women (among others) who are eager to prove their pornographic worth in a mix of softcore and hardcore galleries and scenes presented in image resolutions high enough to have your mouth watering and your travel agent researching the safest destinations for sex tourists. By no means a perfect site, ATK Exotics does run into a few problems along the way, but none that negate its valiant efforts to diversify and expand the world of porn.
Like Godzilla vs Mothra, King Kong vs T-Rex, and Ali vs Foreman, when the best and most bad-ass male and female porn dynamos get together for a sizzling sexual battle, nothing, not your city or your laptop or your sweat-stained jeans, will ever be the same again. Monsters of Cock's pairings don't quite result in total chaos and destruction, but they do pack a hefty punch and see porn's most flexible and accommodating women spread themselves wide for porn's biggest, blackest dicks for interracial fucking par excellence. Isn't that a good start to finally bridging our remaining racial inequity? No? Well, at least it's blazingly hot.
Big-bootied African American women don't just populate hip-hop videos, they can now be seen filling the archives of Round and Brown, a Reality Kings site devoted entirely to presenting plump-assed black girls in supremely hot, scandalously decadent hardcore porn scenes. Always keeping the focus where it belongs, these ass-obsessed fuck flicks show every models' best side before (and while) laying her out for some deep and heavily cushioned pussy- and ass-pounding that'll have you salivating like a bulldog in heat sooner than you ever thought possible With fantastic HD videos and nearly 400 scenes already making waves across the African American porn scene, Round and Brown is the place to be if you wanna find a surrogate shorty and get low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.
White girls of porn, wish you could find yourself stuck in a dark alley or locked hotel room with one of the guys from Blacked? Oh, you think you'd enjoy that scenario, do ya? What would you enjoy, having your cervix pounded or your ass pried open? What about the feeling of being a prized sexual trophy won to satisfy lust and to impress the conquerer's brothers? Blacked brings the biggest, blackest, baddest penises in porn into contact with slim, sexy white girls, many of whom have never been with a black guy before, all in the name of original adult entertainment!
BBWs Gone Black isn't a website name that leaves much to the imagination; the women appearing here have indeed 'gone black' in that they've decided any guy packing less than astounding equipment simply will not do. With HD movies and high-res photo galleries detailing all the nasty, naughty, stupendously entertaining things BBWs do with monstercocks at their disposal, BBWs Gone Black is the Plumper Pass network's interracial site, and a damn fine one it is too.

The indefinite wait of the controversial ship "Platinum-II," for permission for dismantling at the Alang ship-breaking yard near Bhavnagar on the Saurashtra coast of Gujarat, has been prolonged further with the Gujarat Maritime Board promising to inquire into the queries raised by the Union Environment Ministry about the background of the ship.
"The GMB will look into the irregularities pertaining to the ship which have been brought to its notice by the Union Environment Ministry and revert back to it," official sources said.
The "Platinum-II," which was halted in the high seas as it approached Alang last month for dismantling, will have to wait till the GMB team submits its report to the Centre and a decision is taken about whether to allow it to berth at Alang or not .
Though initially the issues raised were about the alleged toxic materials being carried by the ship, the objections against it being berthed at Alang were mainly based on the alleged irregularities committed by the ship in the past.
An "office memorandum" issued by the Union Environment Ministry asked the GMB to inquire into the case of falsified ownership of the vessel and the "assumed names" under which it entered into Indian territorial waters without carrying the flag of any nation.
Originally named "SS Independence," the vessel later changed its name to "SS Oceanic" before assuming the name "Platinum-II" under a falsified registration process. Environmental activists campaigning against giving the ship permission for dismantling claimed that the ship furnished fake registration documents in the name of the "government of Kiribati" and did not carry any national flag.
The new owner of the ship, Komalkant Sharma, who had bought it for dismantling, however, was very upset over all the developments. "The Central team had come to investigate but seemed to be only the eyes and ears of the environmentalists and did not bother to give any hearing to the owner of the ship," he said.
The Alang Ship Recycling Association president V. K. Gupta claimed that "Platinum-II" did not violate any of the criteria laid down by the Supreme Court for allowing dismantling of ships carrying toxic materials. "But if the ship is violating any other law of the land or has committed irregularities in the past, it is a different matter and will have to be dealt with accordingly," he said.

Sony has confirmed that it will be putting PlayStation Home under the knife for scheduled maintenance today, with the online social platform heading offline for six hours while it upgrades to v1.04.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the primary reason for the downtime is to offer a remedy for users experiencing trouble accessing Home due to high demand for the service.
The post goes on to state that Home's voice chat functionality will also be disabled temporarily as part of its transition from v1.03 – v1.04, though will be implemented at a later date. In its absence, Sony suggests make use of the PS3's swanky new wireless keypad.
Stay tuned.

Is India getting blinkered when looking for FDI?
The common point of both visits, never mind the rhetoric or flourishes, was to simply drum up trade for their countries with India — and, more specifically, to press for more liberalisation, presumably so that British and French companies can enter the Indian market in all kinds of sectors.
Cameron's visit was preceded by both P Chidambaram and Anand Sharma making trips to London to "engage" with investors and big-name CEOs. Both Indian and UK media have been writing long and erudite analyses as to why FDI in India is dropping, and what can be done about it.
Almost before Cameron's plane took off from New Delhi, AirAsia, the Malaysian low-cost airline, announced one of the bigger FDI investments in India in recent times, in a joint venture with the Tatas. All of this is making me wonder.
The generally-accepted view is that FDI isn't pouring into India because Indian policymakers need to get their act cleaned up, because the world is in a global recession, and the India growth story is looking a bit tattered at the edges.
All of that may be true, but is India somehow getting blinkered when looking for FDI? Who, as they say in marketing terms, should the target audience be for India to attract as FDI investors? I see that aviation minister Ajit Singh has said that he'd rather the Tatas had set up the airline by themselves — and that India needs more flights to Chicago and Johannesburg, but not to another small country, presumably Malaysia.
Dear Mr Singh, Malaysia is one of today's hottest global economic hot spots, even more than the Brics. Malaysian investors recently acquired the Battersea power station, a historic and iconic London landmark. India should very definitely have more flights to Malaysia and Indonesia and Vietnam, and, yes, long-haul to Peru and Colombia as well.
The thing is, whenever anyone in India or London talks about the FDI in India stuff, and how to attract foreign investment in Indian infrastructure and markets, they seem to only consider the developed western companies. And that's a bit odd.
Some of the biggest investors in India's infrastructure sector are Japanese. In consumer goods and cars, there're South Koreans. In many others, including increasingly finance, there're Chinese.
Forget India, when I look around in London, the big money is not coming from the US or Europe; when UK releases its FDI figures, they calculate FDI in terms of jobs and not capital, so it doesn't give a comparable picture. The big money is coming from Dubai, Qatar, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, Abu Dhabi and, though still somewhat cautiously, from China.
They're the nationalities most active in, say, London property development and infrastructure projects. Going back to India's attractiveness for foreign investors, whenever I talk to the kind of people who represent big potential investors, or are big investor-types from the UK, I hear the same received wisdom.
Foreign investors, I'm told, are wary of investing in India because they're afraid about an uncertain tax regime, and think that the Vodafone case is still a big stumbling block, they're waiting for India to sort out its land acquisition policies, and are afraid of red tape and not being able to own 100% of whatever it is they want to do.
It's a perception that annoys senior Indian policymakers no end, but then, what can you do? It's what even some of the top-level CEOs and corporations actually believe. Sure, Britain remains among the topfive big investors in India, but when they press for liberalisation of financial services, when at the same time taxpayer-owned RBS is cutting back on its India operations, one's left wondering what the point of the discussions is.

Converting Infants and Children
A child must be formally converted if adopted or born to a non-Jewish mother, except within Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism, which accept patrilineal descent.
In the following article, the author omits mention of Reconstructionist Judaism, but in this matter, the movement, like Reform Judaism, accepts the notion of patrilineal descent. Reprinted with permission from www.convert.org.
Parents may want to consider converting their infants or children to Judaism for a variety of reasons. Some Jewish parents are intermarried, and the gentile spouse does not plan to become Jewish, but both parents agree that the single religion of Judaism will be in the child's best interest. Perhaps either a gentile parent in an intermarriage or a couple made up of two gentile parents decide to convert to Judaism, but their children were born before the conversion. Perhaps a Jewish couple adopts a gentile child.
In all these cases, conversion to Judaism can be seen as a desirable option for the infants and minor children. (A minor child in Jewish law means the child is under age 12 for a female and under age 13 for a male.)
When Must a Child Be Converted?
In the case of intermarriage, the child of a Jewish woman and her gentile male spouse is universally recognized as Jewish, so that the conversion of the infant or child is unnecessary. A more delicate and difficult situation arises when the infant or child is born to a Jewish father and gentile mother. The Orthodox and Conservative movements do not recognize such a child as legally Jewish, so that, in such cases, Orthodox and Conservative parents need to have their child legally converted to Judaism.
Under the Reform movement's patrilineality principle, the child of a Jewish father and gentile mother is presumed Jewish if the child is raised exclusively in Judaism and engages exclusively in public Jewish acts. The children, then, are legally Jewish. However, some of these Reform parents may voluntarily choose to have their children converted for various reasons, such as wider acceptance of the child's Jewishness by the non-Reform Jewish community.
Jewish parents in all movements need to convert adopted gentile minors for the minors to be considered Jewish. The adoption itself, or even the raising of the children as Jewish, does not make the child Jewish.
Jewish Law Regarding Conversion of Children
The conversion of an infant or child has Jewish legal sanction. According to the Talmud (Ketubot 11a), it is permissible for a religious court (a beit din) to convert a gentile infant. The basis in Jewish law is that it is a privilege to be Jewish (Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh Deah, 268:7). Therefore, a minor can be converted even though not mature enough to understand the act because making the minor Jewish is performing a favor for that infant or child.
Jewish law also allows those people converted as an infant or child to renounce the conversion when they reach maturity. After girls reach 12 or boys 13, converted infants and children can legally reject the conversion and go back to their previous religion. If they accept Judaism or are silent, they are deemed to be considered adult converts.
One potential problem for parents seeking to convert minors is that not all movements accept conversions performed by rabbis in other movements. Thus, Orthodox rabbis, for example, do not, in general, accept conversions performed by non-Orthodox rabbis. Conservative rabbis, in general, accept all Orthodox conversions and all Reform conversions, if the Reform conversions conform to the Conservative legal requirements discussed below. Reform rabbis, in general, recognize all conversions performed by Orthodox and Conservative rabbis. Because of this confusing situation, parents ought to discuss their choice with their rabbi.
Conversion Procedure for Children
The conversion of a female infant or child according to Conservative and Orthodox practices only requires tevilah (immersion in a ritual bath called a mikveh). A male child also requires immersion in the mikveh. While parents might have trepidation about immersing a newborn completely in water, the supervising rabbi will facilitate the procedure with great care ensuring that the infant is safe during this momentary immersion. Prior to the immersion, the male must have a brit milah (a legal circumcision ceremony performed by a mohel, traditionally an observant person trained in circumcision). If possible, this should be done on the eighth day after the birth of the boy. If a circumcision has already been performed, a drop of blood needs to be drawn in a ceremony called hatafat dam brit. A Hebrew name can then be given to the child, though some wait to give the name until after the tevilah ceremony. There is usually a wait of a couple of weeks between the circumcision and the immersion.
A beit din, usually consisting of three rabbis, is convened for the immersion. Parents can enter the mikveh. If the children are old enough, they recite the needed prayers; if not, a rabbi does so for them. After the tevilah ceremony is completed, and a name chosen if one has not already been selected, the child is declared by the beit din to be Jewish.
Reform requirements for the conversion of infants and children vary. Some rabbis may simply have a naming ceremony, while others will include some or all of the same requirements used by the Orthodox and Conservative rabbis.
For detailed explanation of all of these ceremonies, it is crucial to consult a rabbi.
The conversion of infants and children is, of course, a moment of joy for parents, but it is also such a moment for the entire Jewish community. New children add precious lives to the community and bring with them that most valuable idea of hope for the future.

K-Collector reloaded
A long time ago, working with Matt, we developed an enterprise news aggregator that was using tags (which back then we were innocently calling topics) to aggregate and distribute information within a company.
The latest incarnation of what was called K-Collector is Nòva100, which we opened today in total beta mode and that we have been developing for the financial newspaper Il Sole 24 ORE. Nòva100 is using RSS feeds and tags to dynamically collect and layout posts from 100 TypePad Business class blogs.
Content is presented in 3 views:
Among the little features I like there's the tag cloud which uses related tags metadata (each time two tags appear in the same post we make their relationship stronger) to highlight other tags while you use it, and a dynamically resized iframe in the river of news view, which keeps the reading space as large and usable as possible as you resize and scroll around the window.

Margin for Victory (1962)
President Kennedy gives speech asking for support for Radio Free Europe
The Most Incredible Challenge (1965)
This film was produced by the Radio Liberty Committee, to publicize RL in the United States.
This Is Radio Free Europe (1964)
This film, narrated by Polish broadcaster Andrzej Kzeczenowicz, gives an overview of Radio Free Europe's news-gathering and audience research, its production center in Munich, and its transmission operations in Germany and Portugal.
Winds of Freedom
99 Luftballoons go by - A little hydrogen and some wind carry the RFE message into the communist bloc.
RFE Transmitters (1964)
Beginning with a spare 7.5-kilowatt transmitter left over from Office of Strategic Services' operations during World War II, the Radios eventually became one of the most powerful broadcast services in the world.
What Do They Really Think of Us?
Side one of a Crusade for Freedom disc prepared for the 1951 Crusade campaign. Narrated by NBC commentator Ben Grauer, it uses emotional interviews with East European refugees who dislike America to justify the need for RFE as well as testimony from displaced persons who praise the U.S. for bringing the message of freedom to those behind the Iron curtain. Lucius D. Clay, National Chairman of the Crusade for Freedom, praises the Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) Berlin as a model for RFE and appeals for contributions to buy additional transmitters. The Freedom Bell in West Berlin is heard at the end of the recording.
The Radio Free Europe Story
Side Two of a Crusade for Freedom disc prepared for the 1951 Crusade campaign. RFE Director Robert Lang describes the RFE broadcasts to Czechoslovakia from Munich that started on May 1, 1951. The program schedule includes newscasts, messages from relatives in the West, "Date with Eva" - an early DJ program, a program naming alleged regime collaborators and spies, and religious services. Messages from Free Europe Committee chairman C.D. Jackson and RFE Czechoslovak Service chief Ferdinand Peroutka are read.

Exclusive Phil Woods recording for Radio Liberty
An interview and performance by the famous jazz saxophonist Phil Woods, conducted after a trip to the Soviet Union. In the interview, Woods mentioned a session in New York during which he played numbers from Soviet composers (later issued by Radio Liberty as the Jazz at Liberty LP) and gave his thoughts about the state of jazz in that country.
Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty fought communism by broadcasting news and features from Munich to countries behind the Iron Curtain. Despite jamming, acts of terrorism, and even opposition by some members of Congress, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty have remained on the air, broadcasting uncensored news since the early 1950s.
Musical ambassadors
Artists traveling throughout Europe in the 1960s, especially American jazz musicians, often visited with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reporters. Included in this slideshow are some notable examples, including Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, and Benny Goodman, as well as many outside the American jazz scene.
(The photographs of these musical ambassadors are part of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty broadcast records at the Hoover Institution Archives.)

But man remains always concerned with his own stupid ideas. When the whole existence is rejoicing, it is only man who is worried. Have you ever seen a tree worried? No animal is ever worried. Even in dying, it dies peacefully. Such is the way of existence, that anything that is born is going to die.
But man's mind intrudes, always creates problems, because it expects things to be different than they are. He is not ready to accept the suchness of existence; he wants it according to him. This, according to him, is the whole misery. Everybody is trying that everything should be according to him. One may say it, one may not say it, but even without saying it, your mind is weaving thoughts about how things should be brought according to your idea - and this is impossible.
You cannot change existence.
All that you can do is drop your mind.
Horin said: "Though you may spread your three inches of tongue, and illuminate the celestial quietness, just try and say a single word to fit the occasion!"
Rinzai responded - and his response is of fundamental importance: "when you meet a master swordsman, show him your sword. When you meet a man who is not a poet, do not show him your poem."
Each according to his worth, each according to his receptivity. You are not yet able to receive one word and understand it. I cannot recite a poem to you, because you will not understand it; you will certainly misunderstand.
I have heard, a thief was brought into the court, and the judge said, "Why have you entered this man's house?"
The poor thief said, "I have entered to steal something. But the man was so strange: he caught hold of me, and when I tried hard to escape he said, 'Don't be worried, just sit down and listen. I have written a new poem.' I thought it was better to listen silently, but the poem went on and on and on. And he was holding me by the hand, so this way the whole night he tortured me. I didn't understand a single word of what he was saying, and I could not escape either.
"By the morning the police came, and now I am standing here before you with only one hope: that you will not give me the punishment to listen to this poet again. I am ready even to go to the gallows. I had no idea that this house belongs to a poet, otherwise I would not have entered."
Poets are like that. It is very difficult for them to find audiences. They go on searching around to see if they can find somebody, and everybody goes on running away saying, "I have to do some special work. Right now I am not available." Who wants to waste time?

Woods County, Oklahoma – November 13, 2013
A resident of Alva was killed Wednesday night in an accident on U.S. Route 64 at County Road 370 according to state police.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said that 24-year-old Seth Farris was driving a 2002 Ford Escape on U.S. 64 when he was hit by a northbound Ford F-250 pickup driven by 39-year-old Sergio Martinez of Benton, Arkansas. Mr. Martinez allegedly failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection.
Mr. Farris had to be extracted from the SUV and died at Share Medical Center in Alva. Mr. Martinez suffered head and arm injuries and was treated before being released.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 1.13 fatalities occurred for every 100 million miles of travel in 2009. The rate in 1966 was 5.5 deaths per 100 million miles.

National trend against building mega-homes not reflected in Naples
NAPLES - Nationally, there's evidence that the overly large, pretentious homes with five or six bedrooms are going out of style.
In a recent online survey, Trulia, a national real estate website, found interest is waning in so-called McMansions, defined as homes larger than 3,200 square feet. Only 6 percent of Americans in the survey said they wanted these super-sized homes, down from 9 percent in 2010.
In Trulia's 2011 survey, most – about 60 percent – say they want to live in homes between 1,400 and 2,600 square feet.
The growing demand for smaller homes in America is likely driven by several factors, including the economy, the desire to be closer to jobs, shops and restaurants and the growing popularity of building green to lessen the environmental impact, said Jed Kolko, Trulia's chief economist.
It's unclear whether there is a "trend toward modesty," he said.
Despite Trulia's survey, mansions still are going up in Naples and elsewhere in Southwest Florida, though not as fast as they were a few years ago.
In the city of Naples alone, 25 single-family permits valued at $1 million or more were issued in 2010. The city issued more this year – 27 through the end of September. But one of the most active years for starting ultra high-end homes came in 2008, when the city approved 46 permits for at least $1 million. One of those permits was valued at $10 million for a grand estate that will be one of the largest in Collier County.
Chrissy Forbes, an interior designer and a principal for Accessories Etc. in Bonita Springs, said she's noticed more practicality in the design of luxury homes.
"The world of no-holds-barred is gone,'' she said. "Where in the prior years we would do things because we could, now there is a little more thought process involved in it: Do I see value in it and is it worth the money?"
More luxury buyers in Southwest Florida are thoughtful about their energy use too, she said.
"You want to make sure it's practical," said Forbes, who has been an interior designer for 30 years. "You don't want to be crazy."
More of her clients are looking at expanding their homes.
"They just love where they are so they are just adding that guest suite over the garage," Forbes said.
Many of the wealthy buyers are coming from the Midwest and Northeast. Their multimillion-dollar estates are often a reward for successful careers as business owners or executives – and many times they're used only for get-aways.
Other trends have emerged among new buyers.
"Our clients seem to be getting younger ... as young as in their 30s ... and still working," said Joe Smallwood, president-CEO of BCB Homes. "Of course, we are still seeing a percentage of retirees, but definitely less than in the past."
During the past six years, BCB has completed more than 95 "dream homes" from Marco Island to Sarasota.
"We have not seen the amount of work slow for us, but we also expanded our renovations and remodeling division, which has helped us tremendously," Smallwood said.
A few of the unique features going into BCB's custom homes are induction cook tops and pizza ovens; roll-down screens and hurricane shutters; whole-house automation systems and elevators, and wine cellars with fingerprint scanners.
Award-winning architect Dan Sater, president/CEO of the Sater Group Inc. in Bonita Springs, said more of his wealthy retired clients are building for their own needs, not based on the resale value or the needs of their grown kids.
Sater encourages his clients to go with more flexible, multi-purpose designs. Instead of just having a theater room, there can be a club room with a pool table, big screen TV and a bar, for example.
He's noticed more demand for homes under 5,000 square feet. But there are always those who want something much bigger.
"It's still going on, people trying to build as much house as they can," Sater said.

The newly single singer didn't attend the festivities last Wednesday in order to spend some quality time with the Stealth star at an exclusive lodge in nearby Deer Valley, Utah.
A source tells Us Weekly Timberlake reportedly flew Biel in to join him for the festivities, saying, "He called her and asked her to come. And she was like, 'What the hell? I'll go!'
"She is really spontaneous and fun."
Biel, 24, stayed with Timberlake at his $1,950 per night, four-bedroom condo at the Trail's End Lodge and the couple was spotted snowboarding the next day at the picturesque Park City Mountain Resort.
The pair stayed at the lodge until Jan. 26 and a source at the resort says, "Justin and his group were fantastic guests."
Biel's representative refused to comment on her relationship with Timberlake, saying, "Jessica was in Sundance for a couple of days to see some movies."
Timberlake and ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz announced they were ending their relationship earlier this month.

Sometimes I hate that I can't not finish a movie once I've started it...
Writer/director/star Richard Gabai's ultra-cheap teen comedy, about a girl who is sent to catholic school, has little going for it besides the presence of Linnea Quigley, who appears to be having fun as the bully who pushes around the new arrival. There's little sex, almost no comedy, and a ridiculously silly plot that never quite works.

I think it is often a little better training can stop a lot of trouble, training for the company rep making a response to a customer to anticipate a question and provide the answer.
Talk about shipping going up, I just ordered two "hidden pocket" travel pouches, they couldn't weigh 5 oz and it was $7.00. They were on sale from last month by half price so it is a wash to me on costs, but sure enough shipping is going up.
I do appreciate the info on other suppliers. Competition makes the dollar go around.
I checked on the Mid South and check out this statement:
Speer Gold Dot .380 AUTO 90gr Jacketed Hollow Point (50 rounds). No sales to: Canada, NYC, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, Washington DC, Chicago, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Reno (NV), Annapolis (MD),Montgomery County (MD) and the folllowing CA counties: Marin, Napa, Ventura, and Yolo.
It is a rough time for all in this economy. I am so sick of things that I have become jaded and pessimistic about everything. I need a break.

Eat the Document
Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage '66. Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.

Buyck on Common Core Corrections: Proceed with Caution
3/11/2014 (Updated 6:58:41 PM)
You might call them mid-course corrections but BOCES Superintendent Allen Buyck thinks those making the adjustments should proceed with caution.The Common Core Implementation Panel, formed just last month, on Tuesday released a series of recommendations to improve the controversial curriculum in New York State: among them: protection of students from inappropriate high-stakes testing, better support for parents, and better training for teachers.
Buyke welcomes the effort to re-examine Common Core, but remains cautious:
"I'm always concerned about a group of people getting in a room and deciding how to evaluate and change something that they weren't apart of while it was created the way it is and understand why it was created the way it is before they decide to dismantle it. So I hope that this is the start of a conversation," said CEO and District Superintendent, Allen Buyck.
The implementation panel notes that Common Core has raised alarm and serious concerns among parents, teachers, administrators and community leaders.

Kathy Reichs—#1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the FOX television hit Bones—returns with the thirteenth riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan.
John Lowery was declared dead in 1968—the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina. Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John Lowery. But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada?
Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowery's grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis—to the headquarters of JPAC, the U.S. military's Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how "ex" is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowery's dog tags tangled among them. Three bodies—all identified as Lowery.
And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulu's flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or something much more sinister?
A complex and riveting tale of deceit and murder unfolds in this, the thirteenth thrilling novel in Reichs's "cleverly plotted and expertly maintained series" (The New York Times Book Review). With the smash hit Bones now in its fifth season and in full syndication—and her most recent novel, 206 Bones, an instant New York Times bestseller—Kathy Reichs is at the top of her game.
Kathy Reichs, like her character Temperance Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist, formerly for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and for the province of Quebec. A professor in the department of anthropology at the UNC at Charlotte, she is one of only eighty-eight forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, is past Vice President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada.
