Automating the world one-liner at a time…
As you start to play with the CTP bits of Windows PowerShell 2.0, it would be wise to tell what's new in this CTP release.
First thing to know is that this release is compatible with and replaces Windows PowerShell 1.0. You must un-install PowerShell 1.0 to install this CTP release.
Uninstalling Windows PowerShell 1.0
· Windows XP-SP2 and Windows Server 2003: Under Add/Remove Program, select the option to show updates. Remove the PowerShell updates as applicable for your system: KB926139 (en-us),KB926140 (localized), KB926141 (MUI pack)
· Windows Vista: Go to Control Panel->Program and features->Installed Updates. Uninstall the PowerShell update: KB928439
· Windows Server 2008: Starting with Beta3 of Windows Server 2008, PowerShell 1.0 comes as an in-band optional component. If you have enabled PowerShell 1.0, you must turn the feature off before you can install PowerShell V2 CTP. Launch Server Manager and choose the option to remove Features. Select PowerShell from the list and disable the feature.
Breaking Changes from Windows PowerShell 1.0
· The value of the PowerShellEngine key under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellEngine has been changed to 2.0
· New language Keywords Data and Cmdlet have been added. What this means is that commands named 'data' or 'cmdlet' will be interpreted as language Keywords which will result into parse errors.
· Changes in Argument separator behavior. In PowerShell 1.0, $a.method(,1) is treated as a call with an array of 1 element but $a.method(1,,2) as a parse error. In PowerShell 2.0, both are treated as parse errors.
· New Cmdlets, variables have been added (listed below). These can conflict with existing variables and functions.
1. PowerShell Remoting
Windows PowerShell 2.0 provides support for executing Cmdlets and Scripts remotely. PowerShell Remoting allows managing a collection of remote machines from a single client. Managing remote computers using PowerShell 2.0, requires that PowerShell 2.0 be installed on all the computers taking part in the operation; that is the client computer and the computer(s) being managed.
For more information:
· get-help About_Remoting
· get-help Invoke-Expression
Enable Remoting: PowerShell Remoting feature relies on Windows Remote Management (WS-Man) technology. In order for remoting to work, make sure that the WS-Man Winrm service is installed and started. To verify that Winrm service is running, do the following:
PS> get-service winrm
Setup places a PowerShell script (Configure-Wsman.ps1) in $pshome folder that configures WS-Man settings. To configure WS-Man for PowerShell remoting feature, please run the configure-WSMan.ps1 script from PowerShell folder (run elevated for Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista SP1). This script does not start or stop WinRM service.
& $pshome\Configure-Wsman.ps1
Known issue:
· To use Remoting Cmdlets and features, PowerShell must be started as administrator/elevated.
· PowerShell 2.0 Remoting features will not work correctly on Windows Vista RTM. Please install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) Beta to enable PowerShell Remoting features.
2. Background Jobs
Windows PowerShell 2.0 introduces the concept of a background job (PsJob). A PsJob runs a command or expression asynchronously and "in the background" without interacting with the console. The command prompt returns immediately and you can query for the job results at your convenience. You can run background jobs on a local or remote computer.
· get-help About_PSJob
3. ScriptCmdlets
ScriptCmdlets allow you to write cmdlets in PowerShell script, rather than compiled C# and VB.NET code.
For this release, following cmdlet parameters are not supported:
· Parameter sets
· Help
· get-help about_scriptcmdletparameters
· get-help about_scriptcmdletmethods
· get-help about_scriptcmdletattributes
4. Steppable Pipelines
This feature allows turning a script-block into a steppable pipeline and then controlling the sequence of activities by individually calling Begin(), Process() and End() on the pipeline.
5. Data Language
The data language is a subset of the PowerShell language that allows better sharing of scripts. It also allows better separation of data from the rest of the code in your script.
· get-help about_data_section
· get-help ConvertFrom-StringData
6. Script Internationalization
This new feature allows PowerShell script authors to write scripts that can be translated to any language supported by Windows.
You can separate string resources from the rest of the code, using the new data language feature (above). Using the new Import-LocalizedData cmdlet, you can instruct PowerShell to check the operating system's UI culture, check for a translated data file (.psd1) in the proper culture folder (such as en-US, or de-DE), and replace the original strings with the translated ones.
· get-help about_script_internationalization
· get-help Import-LocalizedData
7. Script Debugging
New debugging features have been added: You can now set breakpoints on lines, columns, functions, variables, and commands. You can also specify actions to run when the breakpoint is hit. Stepping into, over, or out of functions is also supported. You can also get the call stack.
· get-help about_debugger
8. New Operators:
· Splatting operator (@): PowerShell V2 supports splatting operator (@) to pass a collection of parameters
· -Split: The -split operator enables a user to split a string into an array of substrings, based on a separator.
· –Join: The -join operator concatenates multiple strings from a string array into a single string, separated by the separator.
9. New Variables:
· $commandLineParameters: Accumulates command-line and pipeline parameters. Cmdlets can access it through MyInvocation.CommandLineParameters.
· $PSVersionTable: PowerShell version information is available through this variable
· $Culture: Current Culture information is available through this variable
· $UICulture: Current UI Culture information is available through this variable
10. New Cmdlets:
Following 24 cmdlets have been added in PowerShell 2.0. See help for these Cmdlets for details about how to use them.
11. Constrained Runspaces:
Constrained Runspaces allows creation of PowerShell Runspaces with a set of Constraints. Constraints include the ability to restrict access and execution of Commands, scripts, and language elements when using the Constrained Runspace.
12. RunspacePools
Support has been added for RunspacePools. RunspacePools enables concurrent execution of commands by efficiently managing a pool of runspaces on behalf of the user. See the SDK documentation for more details about how to use RunspacePool APIs.
13. Parser Tokenizer API
Another new feature in this release is the Parser Tokenizer API which lets you determine the Tokens associated with a PowerShell script. This API enables many scenarios such as building syntax color highlighters, making your scripts production ready by expanding aliases and so on. See SDK documentation for more details about how to use the API.
14. New PowerShell Hosting APIs
The release introduces new APIs which simplifies Hosting PowerShell Engine in your Applications and building GUI Management applications on top of PowerShell Cmdlets. Please see the SDK documentation for the new APIs.
15. Metadata APIs for Command and Parameters
New APIs allow access to command and parameter metadata (similar to the metadata obtained in the shell via get-command). This metadata can be used to automate generation of stub ScriptCmdlet code from Cmdlet Type.
16. Graphical PowerShell
This release includes a very early alpha version of the new graphical shell. A feedback button has been placed on the toolbar to hear your feedback, so please use it to report bugs, likes and dislikes. If you do not have a mail client installed, send feedback to email@example.com. This feature requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0.
· An interactive shell with syntax coloring and Unicode support.
· A multi-tabbed scripting pane for loading / composing multiple ps1 files.
· The ability to run (dot-source) a script by pressing <F5>, or by clicking the "Run" on the toolbar.
· The ability to run (dot-source) parts of a script by selecting the desired parts and pressing <F5>, or clicking "Run" on the toolbar.
· Multiple runspaces (shells): You can open up to eight runspaces inside Graphical PowerShell, by using the "Shell" menu, or pressing the tab "stub" when it becomes visible (after the second runspace)
Known issues:
· There is no support for any commands that require user input, including legacy commands, such as: netsh, telnet, ftp, nslookup etc.
· There is no support for Tab Completion.
· PSHost functionality is not supported.
· Text output still has the ellipses (…) although the screen is wide enough to display more textThe script editor is slow for large files (> 1,000 lines)
17. Out-GridView
The new Out-GridView cmdlet displays the results of other commands in an interactive table, where you can search, sort, and group the results. For example, you can send the results of a get-process, get-wmiobject, or get-eventlog command to out-gridview and use the table features to examine the data. This feature requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0.
· get-help out-gridview
Known issue:
· The command output that you send cannot be pre-formatted, such as by using the Format-Table or Format-Wide commands.
18. Improvements in Windows PowerShell V2
Changes to TabExpansion function: The TabExpansion function now only shows unique parameters and lists them in sorted order.

New parameters added to Select-String: Select-String cmdlet now supports new parameters, such as:
New parameters added to Select-String: Select-String cmdlet now supports new parameters, such as:
o -Context: This allows you to see lines before and after the match line
o -AllMatches: which allows you to see all matches in a line (Previously, you could see only the first match in a line)
o -NotMatch: Equivalent to grep -v
o -Encoding: to specify the character encoding
Updated Type Adapters: Member lookup algorithm for Type Adapters has been updated to include Base members. Members on the Base Object for Adapted types are now directly accessible on the object. This removes the need to use PSBASE property to access base members.

Improvements to Get-Member: Get-Member cmdlet now supports a –View and –Force parameter. Valid values for –View parameter are "Extended, Adapted, Base, All". The default value is "Extended,Adapted". Getter and Setter Methods are not shown by the default get-member output. Since adapted Types now expose Base members, use –view All to list Base members in the get-member output.

Windows Powershell ver.2.0 CTP
I had no practical experience with .NET before coming to PowerShell. I think PowerShell is a great starting point to try to get your head around .NET via C#. Bruce's book is very good, and getting a good solid knowledge of PowerShell is good before trying to dig into programming. If you think of it, you're programming in PowerShell when you start calling the .NET framework. Check out my blog, leave a comment. I'd be happy to try to help you learn and maybe help others.
I'm used WindowsServer2003-KB926140-x86-CHS.exe to install powershell v1.0,
But i can't find it under Add/Remove Program.
And I'm sure "Show Updates" is checked.
who can help me?
These features sound awesome. Is a port to Linux planned so I can use this sophisticated PowerShell there too?
I'm so excited!
Som jag skrev i mitt tidigare inlägg om PowerShell 2.0 (CTP) så går det alltså att ladda hem denna förhandstitt
All I can say is WOW... PowerShell is great... Command line and GUI... how can it get better... Windows...
Anything about MTA or performance improvements??
Please help; I can't uninstall Version 1. I check the "Show Updates" box but it nor the patches are displayed. I see I am not the only one having a problem. I am running XP-Pro. Can I just remove some registry entries and a directory? I am anxious to try the CTP.

If you updated your machine to W2K3-SP2 after installing PowerShell 1.0, you might be seeing the issue as mentioned at http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2007/03/19/windows-server-2003-sp2-upgrade.aspx.
If that is the case, you might be able to find the uninstaller at %windir%\$ntuninstallkb<KBNUMBER>$\spuninstall\spuninstall.exe.
When v1.0 was in beta, I used to really love it (and I still do!). The PowerShell blog has just announced
Thanks PowerShellTeam,
I just find two exe in %windir%\$ntuninstallkb<KBNUMBER>$
I removed powershell entries in registry and reinstall KB926140 again, but it doesn't work.
BTW machine to W2K3-SP2 is before installing PowerShell 1.0.
I ran the V2 on win2003 R2,when I use "get-help about_remoting",it told me that
PS C:\> get-help about_remoting
Get-Help : Cannot find Help for topic "about_remoting".
At line:1 char:9
+ get-help <<<< about_remoting
PS C:\> get-help -?
Get-Help : Error loading help content for Get-Help from file "System.Management.Automation.dll-Hel
+ get-help <<<< -?
Maybe I am a poor guy?
Hi there at the PowerShell Team,
Great job so far-
I am hoping that the fuctionality for managing both local and remote NTFS permissions is or can be improved in version 2. I really have to revert to using xcacls.vbs to truly manage permissions properly. get-acls & set-acl really need to do all xcacls do - without the saving to file and re-applying that the current v1 commandlet do. If the xcacls functionality/simplicity could be incorporated - it would be awesome - for me at least!
Pete Gomersall
I also had the same problem about using "get-help".
I copy all the files in the
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\en-US" to the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0"
, and it works.

You have to be joking. Windows 8 has only been out for a month or two, with a planned relaunch very soon. There's no way you're going to see Blue until at least September by my guess. Releasing Blue now would be the equivalent to Microsoft saying, "whoops...we messed up some things with Windows 8" which will just cause all manner of..."debate."

Getting In, Immigration Museum Exhibition, 2003-2015
Image: Internal shots of the exhibition space
Source: Museum Victoria
Getting In focuses on the policies and processes of Australian immigration across time. It is an exhibition about selection and rejection, with content presented through text, statistics, graphics, objects and compelling interactives. Personal experiences and perspectives provide examples of particular policies. Debate and dissent about Australia's immigration policy have always been a part of the political landscape, and the exhibition brings out contrary opinions at various historical moments. It also explores the process of Australia's nation-building over time and how migrant selection has acted as a key component of the construction of a desired national identity. Objects include original immigration documents, promotional material, personal artefacts, customs items, iconographic medals, protest ephemera, all presented chronologically in four distinct time periods from the 1840s to the present day. The broad exhibition premise is that the bottom line of Australian immigration policy over the last 200 years has been how to 'get in'. People's experiences have varied dramatically, from being welcomed, invited, assisted, accepted, discouraged and refused. Basic questions are addressed - why have some people been allowed in and others not? What rules and regulations have been created over the years to determine a person's eligibility? How have these rules changed over time? How have these changing policies both reflected and shaped public opinion?
Central to the exhibition is an interactive theatre experience whereby visitors find themselves in the role of a government official charged with the responsibility of interviewing people applying to migrate to Australia, and discovering whether or not they 'get in'. They can select from nine applicants over three significant periods in the development of Australia's immigration policies. Visitors who have migrated themselves are able to relate to the anxiety, anticipation, excitement and tragedy of the applicants; others will gain a new understanding of what it must be like to have their lives hang in the balance and decisions taken out of their hands. In either case, the shape and development over time of Australia's immigration policies will become evident as visitors witness the questions, responses and outcomes of the interviews and read the secondary layer of policy 'fact files'.
Further Exhibition Content
Snapshot of Australian Immigration Policy
1840-1900: The end of convict transportation and the influx of free settlers sees British policy continue to govern Australia, allowing immigration from throughout the Empire and allied countries.
1901-1945: Australia's Immigration Restriction Act, commonly known as the 'White Australia policy', restricts immigration from non-British countries.
1946-1972: Immigration policy no longer mentions race. Although British immigrants are still preferred, continental Europeans are also admitted in a push for population growth.
1973-today: Multiculturalism results in a broadening of immigration policy. People from all countries may apply to immigrate. However, overall immigration levels are reduced.
Key Themes & Immigration Policy Categories explored in Getting In
Nation Building: The question of national identity has had a profound impact on Australia's immigration policies. The idea of Australia as a white, British nation saw policies such as the Immigration Restriction Act introduced and quotas on non-British migrants, right up until the 1970s. Populating this vast continent and building industry has also impacted Australia's immigration policies and selection.
Assistance: Active selection of Australian immigrants has been helped by the provision of assisted passage immigration schemes where the Government contributed to the cost of passage and sometimes settlement. The changing focus of this assistance reflects the changing international pressures and Australian values and identity.
Rejection: As well as actively seeking particular types of immigrants Australian immigration policies have also discouraged, banned and limited the numbers of some migrants. These include the well known Immigration Restriction Act and Dictation Test which restricted Asian immigration to Australia for 70 years, to today's NUMAS system which gives applicants points in a number of categories including education, employment and wealth to assess their suitability for migration to Australia.
Family Reunion: Throughout Australian immigration history family reunions have been a means of migrating to Australia. From the Nomination and Remittance Schemes of the 19th Century to the acceptance of war brides following World War II and the use of family reunion as a key post 1970s immigration criteria.
Work: The filling of jobs has been a principal motivation of the Australian government for encouraging, accepting and rejecting immigrants. Governments have selected migrants to fill particular workforce gaps, such as today's focus on skilled migrants, and rejected migrants based on their skills and employment.
Refuge: Australia has provided a refuge for people fleeing political, cultural, religious or racial discrimination since the 19th century. The attitude of the Australian public to refugees is often contested with the management of 'off-shore' and 'on-shore' applicants currently one of the most hotly debated issues in Australian political history.

Re: 35 year old standing rigging - but rigger says it's ok
It is funny how many different opinions there are on this subject. I seem to recall another thread not to long ago where someone posted pigs of their standing rigging that looked obviously corroded, and yet those of us advising replacement were accused of "trying to scare" the guy, and that it is probably fine! Now we have a situation where a professional rigger has rendered an opinion that something looks fine, and people accuse him of being incompetent and unprofessional! Perhaps he is just being honest? By all means get a second opinion, and pay for a more thorough inspection, but don't panic just because it is old.
My standing rigging is the original rod rigging that came on the boat (as far as I know), and it is in excellent condition. It has been inspected and given a clean bill of health. Naturally I have been given the usual sales pitch and butt-covering statements regarding the possibility that something "could" fail even though it looks fine, but I do take those with a grain of salt.
Having said that, I am budgeting for a major mast overhaul, including standing rigging, but in the meantime I am not worried that my mast is going to fall down just because my rigging is old!

|Missouri's hidden Civil War: financial conspiracy and the decline of the planter elite, 1861-1865
|Geiger, Mark W.
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This dissertation explores a previously unknown Civil War financial conspiracy that backfired and caused a great deal of collateral damage among Missouri's pro-southern population. In 1861, a small group of pro-secession politicians, bankers, and wealthy men conspired to divert money illegally from Missouri's banks to arm and equip rebel military units then forming throughout the state. The scheme's collapse eventually caused a revolution in land ownership and permanently altered the state's political economy. In 1861 and 1862, Missouri's banks paid the equivalent of hundreds of millions of today's dollars in unsecured loans to the state's southern sympathizers, in return for sham collateral. After Confederate defeat, litigation arising from these loans resulted in sheriffs' sales of over a half million acres of farmland. These land sales effectively ended the plantation system in Missouri and the leading role of Missouri's planters. The widespread distress caused by the land sales also intensified the state's notorious guerrilla insurgency, the worst such conflict ever fought on American soil. The financial history of the Civil War in the West has been hitherto largely unresearched, and this dissertation explains certain social and economic outcomes that otherwise seem anomalous. The dissertation also considers at length the development of antebellum state banking, its role in the slave economy, and the banking industry's wartime transformation.

Hello again from the "Land of Logan." My new reporting beat. This is my third week doing this column instead of my old venue in Adairville. As time goes by I hope to develop a wide readership as I had with my Adairville column. We will see! Hopefully I will not make too many people mad but if I do so be it. Forgive me.
Tuesday evening I attended the Logan County Fair Board meeting out at the County Extension Service Center on the by-pass. The fair board is composed of a number of good concerned citizens plus staffers Chris Milam, Gary Templeman and Lisa Browning from the Logan County Chamber of Commerce. The discussions centered on the proposed 2014 Logan County Fair. I was invited to attend and to pass along information about improving the fair and helping increase attendance. As it currently stands our county fair has a long way to go before it joins the ranks of outstanding county fairs.
Some of the necessary items for a well attended fair are:
1. Good entertainment and lots of it.
2. Good rides for the young and older.
3. Lots of good fair food.
4. Lots of good publicity. And here I will add one more item;
5. Multiple activities each day. One activity per day will not produce sustained crowds. With the leadership of the fair board, help of community leaders, civic organizations, businesses, many volunteers and the staff of the Logan County Extension Service our county fair can begin to grow and greatly improve. It will take all pulling together.
The Logan County and Russellville could help the fair board with a little seed money to help fund some of the entertainment. The county tourism commission would and will help with matching funds for publicity in surrounding counties. The county chamber can also add a lot of support. Our county fair needs to grow and improve. County fairs all around us are thriving. In fact county fairs all over the country are sustaining renewed growth as a new generation of young people wants to experience county fairs and the older generation enjoys a bit of the past.
Thanksgiving was yesterday. Almost every young child in the county has grown up learning about the first Thanksgiving and its meaning. I hope that all of us give thanks for our many blessings and remember the spirit of this special time. Many ministers will be preaching about the topic this coming Sunday. Take your family to your place of worship and give thanks for your family and all that you and yours have received.
Since I now live on Cornelius Avenue in Russellville and hear the train several times a day it has brought back many memories. My grand dad H.V. Dickerson was a railroad man as was his older brother James. As a child I well remember riding the passenger trains with my grandparents. How exciting it was. Entering the train station, climbing on board, getting seated, watching out the windows, hearing the conductors call out, hearing the train whistle and he many stops along the way to our destination. I also loved eating in the dining car and on several occasions spending the night in "a sleeper." Kids today really miss something special.
On my some 30 plus trips to Europe, Africa and Asia I have again relived the great adventure of riding on a train. You meet great people, make new friends, see much more than you would on a plane and have wonderful experiences. I hope that one day a whole new generation of Americans will have the opportunity of riding passenger trains. In the mean time I will continue to wake up, enjoy lunch and go to bed listening to my own very special train just across the road from my home.
Till next time good night to Bertie Angel, my 96 year old girl friend, from down home and to Mrs. Calabash where ever you are!

PAL, Agoda.com tie up for online hotel booking engine
More News from INQUIRER.net
Philippine Airlines (PAL) has teamed up with Agoda.com, Asia's leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq:PCLN), to offer the flag carrier's customers access to Agoda.com's inventory of over 100,000 hotels worldwide.
As the first and oldest commercial airline in Asia, Philippine Airlines has been carrying people to and from the Philippines since 1941. In a world that's more connected and engaged than ever before, the airline is pushing the limits of its online and digital capabilities. The partnership with Agoda.com is a further strengthening of its international competitiveness, after San Miguel Corporation joined the PAL management team in 2012.
As part of the new campaign, the partnership will allow Philippine Airlines customers to access fantastic hotel deals for both domestic Philippines and international destinations through a customized hotel booking page linked to PAL's website, at www.agoda.com/PAL. The deals will mirror PAL's global network of destinations so customers can book flights and hotels in one easy step.
"With PAL being one of the oldest and most respected airlines in the world, it's an exciting prospect for Agoda.com to match PAL's network of destinations with the best hotel deals, so that PAL's discerning customers can book their travel requirements in an easy and convenient way," said Ernst Hemmer, Agoda.com's Commercial Director.
The arrangement brings the number of Agoda.com airline partnerships with national flag carriers to 10, not including a further 7 traditional airlines and 6 low-cost carriers. These partnerships have proven to be mutually beneficial to both companies involved, and have given customers the opportunity to add even more value to their vacations.
"Philippine Airlines is privileged to be a partner of Agoda.com, one of the world's leading online hotel reservations companies. In addition to own tour package offerings, this strategic tie-up with Agoda.com provides passengers bound for PAL's 28 international and 32 domestic destinations convenient access to the best hotel deals available online," said Felix Cruz, PAL's vice president for marketing.

The concept is fine and has merit, but the reality has not worked out that I have seen.
Even some modern MX bikes {Kaw KXf and Honda CRf} have started using air in 1 fork leg, with some success. It weighs less than a second spring and does add some progressive dampening effect on compression, but all of the magazines like MXA still rate the Yamaha KYB SSS forks by far the best forks on any bike....ever. The SSS is a NO air, 2 spring system. It just works right.
MXA changes 2 clicks I think and declared it fully race ready...the rest of the bike, maybe not so much.
For an OEM fork the KYB SSS forks are good, but far from race ready if you're off a groomed surface, in which case playing with the by-pass spring in the second chamber along with re-valving becomes a necessity for most anyone racing "offroad" I'm on my second pair of KYB SSS fork on my second X-lite Husky and am replacing with Ohlins TTX because I've seen the dark side with those forks on my G450X.
Best fork I've ever ridden on is the Ohlins TTX forks....not just the cartridge inserts but the whole fork, phenomenal.
Air shocks do have draw backs, particularly if there is a failure you're riding bottomed out and on a chain drive that's surviveable to get you out of the woods but on a bike with a drive shaft and u-joints that's a very stressful proposition for the the u-joints to survive a ride out of the outback.

MEDIABIZ ; Not Quite Ready for Prime-Time TV
By JESSICA HESLAM
Bay State Gov. Deval Patrick may be one of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's top allies, but the major TV media snubbed him the other night when he took center stage at the Democratic National Convention.
Patrick began speaking shortly after 10 p.m. – a key hour when the three major networks went live with DNC coverage.
But those watching the big three and the national cable news channels were lucky if they caught a glimpse of Patrick in the background as the anchors and talking heads yapped away.
Locally, NECN, WFXT-TV (Ch. 25) and the Channel 7-owned WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) went live with Patrick's speech. C-SPAN did as well. Some PBS stations, including Channel 11 in New Hampshire, carried the speech later on tape delay.
Patrick was indifferent about the national TV snub. "I'm here for the Obama campaign, not for me," Patrick told the Herald in Denver yesterday.
MediaBiz asked the networks why they chose not to broadcast Patrick – who spoke shortly before the night's star, Sen. Hillary Clinton.
ABC spokeswoman Natalie Raabe said they carried Patrick's speech live on their 24-hour digital network, ABC News NOW, and on the Web. "On the broadcast network, ABC's hour of coverage featured the night's headliner, Senator Hillary Clinton," Raabe said.
CBS spokeswoman Sandra Genelius said their "prime-time broadcasts are generally built around the keynote speaker each night."
CNN spokeswoman Barbara Levin said all speeches are live on their Web site and the cable channel has been offering "a mix" of analysis, speeches and live guests.
"The decision to preview Senator Clinton's speech prior to her introduction was one of hundreds of programming decisons made every day," said a Fox News Channel spokesperson.
NBC and MSNBC didn't get back to MediaBiz.
Al Tompkins, who teaches broadcast and online journalism at the Poynter Institute, said people didn't tune in Tuesday night to see the Massachusetts governor.
"The pipefitter in St. Petersburg has no idea who (Patrick) is," Tompkins said. "He's not a national story, but then lots of good people don't get covered at the convention."
Patrick said his family in Chicago was able to see his talk, although he was unsure what network they watched him on. "They did watch. I don't know what they were watching on. . . . They all e- mailed me saying, `Good job,' " he said.
** ** **
Michelle Obama may be the next first lady, but it was Hillary Clinton who drew a bigger TV audience.
Nearly 26 million people watched Clinton speak at the DNC on eight networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, BET and TV One, according to Nielsen. That doesn't include PBS and C-Span.
Michelle Obama's speech drew around 22.3 million.
** ** **
Channel 7 is firing back in the age-discrimination lawsuit former reporter Mike Macklin slapped the station with in March.
The station and news director Linda Miele filed a response in Suffolk Superior Court last month denying that Macklin was discriminated against because of his age.
They say "all adverse actions" against Macklin were based on "legitimate, nondiscriminatory and non-retaliatory factors."
Macklin, 56, who worked as a freelancer at Channel 7 for over a decade, claims he was passed over for younger reporters.
Miele said in court papers that she "had issues" with Macklin's reporting style and attitude, telling him "that she found him to have a negative attitude toward some of the stories" he was assigned.

Former WPRO-AM (630) host Dave Barber is offering to foot the bill for John DePetro to take a lie-detector test.
DePetro, a former Boston yakker, claims his wife was behind the ratings cheating scandal that benefited his Rhode Island radio show.
"Because of the sad state of the broadcast industry, I am offering to pay for a polygraph for Mr. DePetro," said Barber, who was canned from WPRO last year to make room for DePetro. "This will tell once and for all if he is telling the truth about his wife."

MediaBiz has learned that Gareth Charter, the new publisher of Worcester Magazine, told the staff yesterday that the new owner plans to whack the entire editorial, publication and photography departments. Holden Landmark Corp. bought the magazine from Worcester Publishing Ltd.
** ** **
WBZ-TV (Ch. 4) has rebranded its 9 p.m. news on WSBK-TV (Ch. 38), calling it the "WBZ-TV News at 9 p.m. on TV 38."
** ** **
Not to be outdone by Comcast's "Wanna hook up" campaign, RCN is launching its own to attract the college crowd.
RCN plans to hold a contest next week for the best pickup line and will give out gift bags bearing the logo, "We'll help you bundle your package."

Aquino may accept resignations of Lim, Tañada from BOC–Palace source
MANILA, Philippines — President Benigno Aquino III is leaning towards accepting the resignation of two deputies of Bureau of Customs Commissioner Rufino Biazon whose offer to quit was immediately rejected minutes after the presidential tirade against the agency officials in the State of the Nation Address.
A Malacañang source, who was not authorized to speak for the President, said that the President would let Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence Group (IG) Danilo Lim and Deputy Commissioner for Internal Administration Group (IAG) Juan Lorenzo Tañada walk out of their posts to effect a revamp in the agency.
A BOC source said that Deputy Commissioners Horacio Suansing (enforcement) and Prudencio Reyes (assessment and operation) and BOC director George Alino (enforcement security service) have filed their resignation papers late afternoon.
As of press time, Lim said he has not heard from Malacañang on whether his letter of resignation was accepted or rejected by the President 24 hours after announcing it to media.
In a phone interview, Lim said he felt duty-bound to file his resignation after the President publicly berated the BOC for incompetence and corruption. I believe the President's message is not only for top officials of the BOC but to all its employees who contribute to the image of the agency. We should take the President's statements as both a challenge and an opportunity to effect lasting change," said Lim.
Lim said that he felt he made a good showing in his position as intelligence chief with the slew of apprehensions made by the BOC under his watch. He said the main weakness of the BOC was its collection agents.

Senate Report: No Prewar Saddam-al-Qaida Ties
It's not like many of us didn't already know this. but ...
There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had a relationship with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his Al-Qaida associates, according to a Senate report on prewar intelligence on Iraq. Democrats said the report undercuts President Bush's justification for going to war
This is a big right wing talking point and one that Hitchens uses quite frequently. Stephen Hayes, Cheney's new bio author, wrote a book about it. Shame on him. Here's the pdf links for the report...here and here.

Publishers Weekly
Tibetan scholar Thurman paints a splendid portrait of the Dalai Lama and masterfully elucidates the 50-year-old conflict between Tibet and China in this timely analysis. The author presents an eloquent introduction to Buddhism and the Tibetan concept of the Dalai Lama before focusing on the current "living embodiment of the Buddha"—a man born as Tenzin Gyatso—the 14th Dalai Lama. Thurman sympathetically renders his lifelong friend as a "simple Buddhist monk," a teacher, philosopher, scientist and the political representative of the Tibetan people, who has achieved renown for holding together a large refugee community and preserving its culture. Promulgating a "common human religion of kindness," the Nobel Peace laureate lobbies for a peaceful resolution to the question of Tibetan autonomy within China, while espousing love, altruism and spirituality as the forces that will lead mankind into a "kinder, happier twenty-first century." The book concludes with a five-step plan to broker peace between Tibet and China—an agenda simultaneously pragmatic and idealistic, demonstrating truly the talent and power of faith.

Follow in the footsteps of presidents, and unwind amid the southern hospitality of this alluring mansion.
The Destination
Just an hour from the Beltway, Berryville could hardly seem farther from Washington: Winding country roads replace traffic-clogged highways; the soft hills of the Blue Ridge replace steel-and-glass towers; and the gentle babbling of the Shenandoah River replaces the screech of the metro. Berryville's downtown is a charming collection of 19th-century buildings housing shops, restaurants, and cafés; and beyond town, farms, vineyards, and orchards dominate the landscape. It's enough to make any stressed-out Washingtonian breathe a sigh of relief.
The Digs
If your first glimpse of the Historic Rosemont Manor seems timeless, there's a reason: The mansion has stood crowning a small knoll since 1811. Today, it has 12 guest rooms and suites, and each one is uniquely and luxuriously appointed, as if awaiting the return of storied guests like John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Albert Einstein, and Charles Lindbergh. While modern amenities like Wi-Fi access, individual climate control, and private-label bath products may be anachronistic, they do ensure that your every need is met. And in the morning, enjoy your full Virginia breakfast while looking out on the property's 60 acres of manicured gardens and rolling countryside.
The Diversions
Explore. Sky Meadows State Park
Sip. Local wine
Shop. My Neighbor and Me
Sample. Mackintosh Fruit Farm
Beautiful manor house set in its own grounds. Very quiet and secluded, wonderful staff, and the rooms are quite unique. A wonderful place to stay.-- LivingSocial Member

The pilot project will determine if donor recruitment can be increased significantly with the use of non-invasive, saliva-based DNA collection compared to blood collection.
The Anthony Nolan Trust has traditionally required all registry participants to have a blood sample collected either at their doctor's office or by phlebotomists at recruitment clinics. Under this pilot project, the potential donor provides a saliva sample without any assistance (for example, at home) and mails the sample back through the regular postal system, thereby facilitating and dramatically reducing the cost of the entire process. DNA samples collected with Oragene DNA are easier, safer, and faster to collect than other methods and remain stable at ambient temperature for transport and storage prior to being analyzed at the lab.
There are currently over 400,000 people included in The Anthony Nolan Trust's registry, but many more participants are needed. 70% of patients needing a transplant cannot find a compatible match from within their families and rely on registries to find an unrelated donor for life-saving procedures. Through using Oragene DNA, The Anthony Nolan Trust expects an increase in donor recruitment and therefore the likelihood of matches between those patients needing bone marrow transplants and potential donors held in their database.

Yahoo! is proud and excited to participate in World IPv6 Day, scheduled for June 8, 2011. World IPv6 Day is a global-scale test flight of IPv6 sponsored by the Internet Society (ISOC). Yahoo!, along with other major Web companies such as Google and Facebook, will enable IPv6 on their main websites for a period of 24 hours. The event starts at midnight GMT on June 8, 2011. (In the United States, that means June 7at 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern.) Everybody participating will enable IPv6 on their sites at the same time.
Yahoo!'s participation in World IPv6 Day will provide real-world data for Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors, and Web companies. Key learnings from this event will help the industry work together to ensure a smooth transition to IPv6.
Why Is IPv6 Important for the Internet?
Thirty years ago, the Internet was born. It was commercialized in 1995, and has been steadily growing since. Though it started out as an experiment, it has grown into a critical part of our everyday lives -- many people now rely more on the Internet than the telephone or the television.
We are now outgrowing the current IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) design. We are running out of distinct numerical IP addresses (similar to telephone numbers) to give users and services. For the long-term health of the Internet, it is time for it to evolve – to "IPv6". The primary benefit from this new protocol is a much larger address. We are moving from 32-bit addresses to 128-bit addresses. With the telephone analogy, this would be like moving from a 10-digit phone number to a 38 digit phone number.
What Will Happen to IPv4?
The current IPv4 protocol will be with us for years to come. Many websites and ISP may be slow to upgrade to IPv6. Some customers may find no value in upgrading their home equipment.
ISPs will be forced to continue delivering IPv4 service despite running out of unique IPv4 addresses. The realistic solution for ISPs will be to have several houses share a single public address (using NAT, or Network Address Translation). This will be similar to a telephone party line, where several houses shared a single phone line and phone number. Basic web browsing and basic mail will still work, but several peer-to-peer applications will break. Examples of this can include voice and video chat, online video gaming, and file sharing.
The future of IPv4 with address sharing has potential to be more vulnerable for security issues, too. Today, a common method for websites to deal with hackers and abuse is to block the IP address. What happens if they have to block a shared IP address? If you have to share an IP address with a thousand neighbors and just one of them has a compromised computer doing Bad Stuff, you might find yourself locked out of your email or banking website.
Wide-scale adoption of IPv6 will bypass these nuisances. IPv6 will ensure that the Internet experience you have today will be preserved (or improved upon!) in the future.
How Will Yahoo! Participate?
Yahoo!'s goal is to motivate organizations across the industry -- Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors, and Web companies -- to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 address space runs out. Yahoo! is a leader in addressing the scaling challenges facing the Internet and is committed to lead industry players to support the new protocol.
Most of our "front page" websites (such as Yahoo.com) will be participating in this test. This includes our international sites.
Only our HTML servers will be dual-stack. This means that serving our pages will still require IPv4 service for images, scripts, and style sheets. World IPv6 Day is about enabling IPv6, not about going IPv6-only. It will be another 2-4 years before one can expect industry-wide support of IPv6-only users.
Destination sites such as mail.yahoo.com, finance.yahoo.com, and others will not be participating in this event; you will still be able to directly visit those sites regardless of what else happens on World IPv6 Day. API services through the Yahoo! Developer Network will also be unaffected.
How Will This Day Impact You?
Chances are, it won't.
World IPv6 Day is meant to provide a limited controlled window where any problems can be exposed and corrected. We expect few problems, since we are at the early stages of IPv6 adoption. With such a large scale test, however, at least a few problems are expected.
If you are already an IPv6 user, you may see increased latency, due to increased IPv6 traffic. Circuits and routers may be busier than service providers expected. You may see connectivity problems not seen previously, due to few web sites today having IPv6 addresses. In these cases, contact your IPv6 service provider.
One risk category that has been identified involves hosts that have IPv6 enabled, but incorrectly configured. Industry estimates are that 0.05% of the internet population falls into this category; or 1:2000.
When hosts have IPv6 configured, browsers will prefer IPv6 over IPv4. This means that when a web site offers both IPv4 and IPv6, the browser will pick IPv6. When the host is incorrectly configured with a non-functional IPv6 address, this means the browser will spend several seconds (or even minutes) before giving up and trying IPv4.
You can test for this ahead of time by visiting http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/ipv6/ , and trying our online test.
If you do have problems on World IPv6 Day..
First, make sure your internet connection is working. You can visit http://ipv4.yahoo.com to see if you can reach Yahoo! using IPv4. If that does not work, then ask your ISP for assistance with basic IPv4 internet service.
If http://www.yahoo.com fails, but http://ipv4.yahoo.com works, you are possibly in the "broken configuration" category. You can try these steps first; they may fix or at least reduce the slow connection behavior. Some vendors are working diligently to gracefully handle incorrect IPv6 configurations.
- Make sure your home router or wifi router is up to date.
- Make sure your OS is up to date
- Make sure your browser is up to date
- Disable "6to4" (automatic tunnels); they allow a transient temporary form of IPv6 . They usually don't have a way for you to complain about their service. You may find this on your host, or on your router.
Disable "Teredo" if you (or software you use) enabled it. The default Teredo configuration is safe (and only activates under limited conditions). Some software changes the Teredo settings to encourage always using Teredo for IPv6 addresses.
If these do not help, and you are unable to correct the IPv6 configuration, then you'll need to disable IPv6. You will find instructions at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/ipv6/general . If you do disable IPv6, you'll need to re-enable it once your service provider offers IPv6 services.
How do I get IPv6?
Check with your internet service provider. Many are working behind the scenes to get ready for IPv6. Some have already started commercial deployments. We anticipate several IPv6 related services being made available in the next 3-12 months from a broad spectrum of service providers.
If you're comfortable with the idea of setting up IP tunnels, consider looking for "ipv6 tunnel providers" . Tunnels are a convenient way to get early access to IPv6, and do early testing of your products. Keep in mind that tunnels may bypass your firewalls; be sure to do a security review and protect yourself adequately.

More woes for Jaguars in 30-20 loss to Bengals
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. There was plenty of blame to go around for Jacksonville's fourth consecutive loss.
Poor punts, dropped passes, a botched snap, defensive lapses, missed chances near the goal line. Coach Jack Del Rio tried to deflect all of it following Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
"Simply not acceptable on a lot of fronts," Del Rio said. "Just put it on my shoulders. I'm not doing enough. We can't have breakdowns like that at the end of the game. ... It's unacceptable."
The question now is whether it's acceptable for team owner Wayne Weaver.
Weaver said in January that "if we're not in the playoffs next year, there won't be many people around here."
Jacksonville's start, beginning with Del Rio's decision to release veteran quarterback David Garrard, has some wondering whether the coach will make it past the bye week.
"At the end of the day, he's not playing," running back Maurice Jones-Drew said.
"If somebody has to go, obviously it's going to be one of the players. You can call whatever you want, we have to execute the play. It's not on the coach. It's sad to say that he has to take the heat, but he shouldn't because he's not out there strapping it up, going out there to play. All he can do is sit and watch.
"It's ain't on him. He's not wearing a jersey number."
The Jaguars (1-4) have lost seven of eight dating to last season, a streak of futility that has fans frustrated with Del Rio and players wondering if changes are on the horizon.
The latest loss was pretty much a collapse against the Bengals (3-2).
Jacksonville went ahead 20-16 on Blaine Gabbert's 74-yard touchdown pass to Jason Hill with about eight minutes remaining. Gabbert got former Jaguars safety Reggie Nelson to bite on an underneath route, and found Hill running free behind the secondary.
The defense forced a punt on the ensuing drive, but rookie Cecil Shorts failed to field the bouncing ball at the 10-yard line and it rolled dead at the 2.
Gabbert misfired on third down, and veteran Matt Turk followed with a 22-yard punt into the wind. Instead of flipping the field, Turk put the Bengals in perfect position.
Andy Dalton hooked up with Jermaine Gresham on a fourth-and-6 play to keep the drive alive, then found Andre Caldwell for an 8-yard gain. With the Jaguars expecting a pass on third down, Bernard Scott weaved his way into the end zone to make it 23-20.
Jacksonville had a chance to tie the game, but Gabbert fumbled a snap from Brad Meester, and the Bengals ended up with the ball. Cincinnati also scored on a wacky fumble return on the final play.
"It's not going in our favor," Jaguars receiver Mike Thomas said. "A couple of things happened down the stretch and y'all know the end result."
There were other issues, too.
Tight end Marcedes Lewis had a ball stripped from his hands in the end zone in the second quarter, and the Jaguars had to settle for a short field goal. Thomas and Hill dropped balls.

i think we should accept it as a part of game and concentrate on our work .
you can accept and work as much you want but when the system allows for simple steps to kill your sales you should stop working for a moment and see what the problem is and ask to be fixed.
Because is better to fix things than allow unscrupulous dishonest authors to increase their sales not based on their work but by knowing how to game the system.
Our best is two 1 star ratings for envatos support!! And because it's not against their policies they have to stay.
I really want to know, why we can't answer the rating comments?? If the problem is email security of the customer, why don't you add a "reply" field like on the comments ??
I got a 1 star with the following reason;
"nothing works, wp 3.9, continuous errors of all kinds"
Plugin is fully tested with wp 3.9 and I'm sure that there isn't any error. Probably problem is another plugin or his theme. If I could contact the customer, I could most likely fix his problem in a few minutes and we could all be happy…
This has been discussed over and over again. I don't see Envato making these changes, at leat not in the short term. I for one would prefer an Amazon like review system.

Fabulous Fall Salads
As the trees begin to change color, I'm reminded of so many dishes I love to cook. Fall is a busy time with back-to-school, sports, and after-school activities. To maintain a healthy rhythm, I turn to soups and salads that are quick and nutritious. Start with seasonal dark green leafy veggies at your local grocer or farmer's market. Create a base of arugula, lettuce, and/or kale, and top it off with peppers, corn, beets, and cucumbers. Mix in fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and parsley to taste. Don't forget a splash of sweetness with apples pears, figs, and grapes. You can also add protein and crunch with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, fish, boiled egg, and beans. Enjoy these fabulous fall salad recipes from SparkRecipes. Read More ›
Food Showdown: How to Dress Up Your Salad for Less
Ranch dressing is one tasty topper that many dieters don't want to give up. Unfortunately, the full-fat version can pack up to 120 calories and 12 grams of fat per a measley two-tablespoon serving! Luckily, you can still have your ranch and eat it, too, even while watching your weight: many dressing manufacturers toil over making lower-fat and lower-calorie versions of this creamy sauce that still pack plenty of flavor.
Both of these ranch dressing options are fat-free, but which one is lowest in calories: Hidden Valley Fat-Free Ranch or Kraft Fat-Free Ranch? Read More ›

Better than Storebought: Easy Homemade Salad Dressings
I love to accessorize, don't you? A hat, scarf or belt can make or break an outfit, just as a sauce, dressing, or marinade can make or break a dish.
Like everything else in my life, it all circles back to food--even accessories. For me, the perfect accessory for salads, cold meats, fruit plates, and even savory dishes is the dressing. It can be spicy, herbal, creamy, served hot or cold. I love them all. The trouble is that traditional recipes call for loads of fat in the form of oils or cream.
When you're cutting the fat in dressings, the trick that I have found is that the flavor has to come in with a loud punch to offset the smaller amount of oils and cream.
"Dressing" is a vague term that can be used to describe vinaigrettes, dipping sauces, marinades, and even flavored oils. Whatever you call them, they basically can be divided into two categories: vinaigrettes and creamy dressings. Read More ›

WESTWEGO, La. 'I kept calling the Lord, just saying 'Don't let me die. Don't let me die.'
(Warning: Some of the video is graphic)
Linda Henry is lucky to be alive after two of her four pit bulls attacked. She lost both of her arms. Her eye and mouth must be reconstructed. Chunks of skin are missing from her leg. The dogs ripped apart her scalp.
'Blood was everywhere. Because I had them braids, and they chewed all them braids up, the hair was all over the floor, all of the outside, just blood was everywhere,' said Henry.
Henry had just walked into her Westwego home, holding a small terrier, when her pit bulls turned on her in March. A neighbor heard the screams and called police, who had to shoot the dogs to end the attack.
Henry said she could have never seen this coming.
'They was good dogs and sweet dogs and all that. And when they turned on me, it just made a whole u-turn you know,' said Henry.
The attack has one local councilman calling for stronger laws about pit bulls.
'My ordinance is not to ban or get rid of pit bulls. It is to make the owners more responsible for their animals,' said District 1 Councilman Glenn Green, who lives a block away from the site of the attack.
If the ordinance passes, owners would have to get a pit bull license. To qualify, they would have to spay or neuter their pit, put a microchip in it, and have $100,000 in liability insurance. Other requirements would include posting a warning sign about pit bulls, and keeping a muzzle on it while it's outside. The ordinance would also limit residents to owning no more than three dogs.
'If anyone had seen Ms. Henry the day she got attacked, they would understand ,' said Green.
Already, the proposal has garnered opposition. An online petition created by the group, 'Westwego is for the Pits' had gathered 1700 signatures by the time of publication.
Green said unless the people signing are fro Westwego, he is not taking their opinion into consideration.
And a local pit bull advocacy group says breed specific laws don't make the public safer, especially if they're difficult to follow.
'What that means is, more dogs are going to be on the streets, more dogs surrendered, more dogs in shelters,' said Kelly Cottrell, training director of The Sula Foundation.
Cottrell says the vast majority of pit bulls are stable, safe animals, and that attacks are rare.
But Henry said if it happened to her, it could happen to others. She hopes the proposed ordinance passes as she continues on a long road to recovery.
The council is set to vote on the proposed ordinance July 8th.

Lawmakers, experts talk taxes, fees, loans to get back to redevelopment
James Silverwood, president, Affirmed Housing Group: "We're going to have to find some source of financing or there won't be any funding [of affordable housing.] Most legislators are very cognizant of problems with the economy, what it's caused for persons of lower income. We had some persons that were complaining about the cost of affordable housing say why don't you just go out past Santee or Otay Mesa and build housing. Well, all that you do is make more transportation problems. I think there's an opportunity there. I think it will play out over the next few years, and we'll see what happens. We do have projects in our development pipeline that are priced anywhere between $200,000 and $300,000 a unit. They're in close-in urban areas, not in suburban areas. Flexibility for us as affordable housing developers is key."
Bill Fulton, vice president Smart Growth for America and publisher of California Planning and Development Review: "For now, redevelopment in California is dead. But that hasn't eliminated the need to support urban revitalization. So the question is not whether redevelopment will come back, but how and in what form. And the fact is that both the state government and California cities can take steps right now to encourage infill development and urban revitalization without going back to redevelopment."
