Worm gear with adjustable gear ratio and friction losses
The block represents a rotational gear that constrains the two connected driveline axes, worm (W) and gear (G), to rotate together in a fixed ratio that you specify. You can choose whether the gear rotates in a positive or negative direction. Right-handed rotation is the positive direction. If the worm thread is right-handed, ωW and ωG have the same sign. If the worm thread is left-handed, ωW and ωG have opposite signs.
The block models the effects of heat flow and temperature change through an optional thermal port. To expose the thermal port, right-click the block and select Simscape > Block choices > Show thermal port. Exposing the thermal port causes new parameters specific to thermal modeling to appear in the block dialog box.
Gear or transmission ratio RWG determined
as the ratio of the worm angular velocity to the gear angular velocity.
The default is
Choose the directional sense of gear rotation corresponding
to positive worm rotation. The default is
If you select
Left-handed, rotation of the worm
in the generally-assigned positive direction results in the gear rotation
in negative direction.
Parameters for friction losses vary with the block variant chosen—that with a thermal port for thermal modeling or that without a thermal port.
Vector of viscous friction coefficients [μW μG],
for the worm and gear, respectively. The default is
[0 0].
From the drop-down list, choose units. The default is newton-meters/(radians/second)
Thermal energy required to change the component temperature
by a single degree. The greater the thermal mass, the more resistant
the component is to temperature change. The default value is
Component temperature at the start of simulation. The initial
temperature influences the starting meshing or friction losses by
altering the component efficiency according to an efficiency vector
that you specify. The default value is
|Gear ratio
|Worm angular velocity
|Gear angular velocity
|Normal pressure angle
|Worm lead angle
|Worm lead
|Worm pitch diameter
|Gear torque
|Torque on the worm
|Torque loss due to meshing friction. The loss depends on the device efficiency and the power flow direction. To avoid abrupt change of the friction torque at ωG = 0, the friction torque is introduced via the hyperbolic function.
|Steady-state value of the friction torque at ωG → ∞.
|Friction coefficient
|Torque transfer efficiency from worm to gear
|Torque transfer efficiency from gear to worm
|Absolute angular velocity threshold
[μW μG]
|Vector of viscous friction coefficients for the worm and gear
Worm gear imposes one kinematic constraint on the two connected axes:
ωW = RWGωG .
The two degrees of freedom are reduced to one independent degree of freedom. The forward-transfer gear pair convention is (1,2) = (W,G).
The torque transfer is:
RWGτW – τG – τloss = 0 ,
with τloss = 0 in the ideal case.
In a nonideal worm-gear pair (W,G), the angular velocity and geometric constraints are unchanged. But the transferred torque and power are reduced by:
Coulomb friction between thread surfaces on W and G, characterized by friction coefficient k or constant efficiencies [ηWG ηGW]
Viscous coupling of driveshafts with bearings, parametrized by viscous friction coefficients μ
The loss torque has the general form:
τloss = τfr·tanh(4ωG/ωth) + μGωG + μWωW.
The hyperbolic tangent regularizes the sign change in the friction torque when the gear velocity changes sign.
|Power Flow
|Power Loss Condition
|Output Driveshaft
|Friction Torque τfr
|ωWτW > ωGτG
|Gear, ωG
|RWG|τW|·(1 – ηWG)
|ωWτW ≤ ωGτG
|Worm, ωW
||τG|·(1 – ηGW)
In the contact friction case, ηWG and ηGW are determined by:
The worm-gear threading geometry, specified by lead angle λ and normal pressure angle α.
The surface contact friction coefficient k.
ηWG = (cosα – k·tanλ)/(cosα + k/tanλ) ,
ηGW = (cosα – k/tanλ)/(cosα + k·tanλ) .
In the constant friction case, you specify ηWG and ηGW, independently of geometric details.
ηGW has two distinct regimes, depending on lead angle λ, separated by the self-locking point at which ηGW = 0 and cosα = k/tanλ.
In the overhauling regime, ηGW > 0, and the force acting on the nut can rotate the screw.
In the self-locking regime, ηGW < 0, and an external torque must be applied to the screw to release an otherwise locked mechanism. The more negative is ηGW, the larger the torque must be to release the mechanism.
ηWG is conventionally positive.
The efficiencies η of meshing between worm and gear are fully active only if the absolute value of the gear angular velocity is greater than the velocity tolerance.
If the velocity is less than the tolerance, the actual efficiency is automatically regularized to unity at zero velocity.
The viscous friction coefficient μW controls the viscous friction torque experienced by the worm from lubricated, nonideal gear threads and viscous bearing losses. The viscous friction torque on a worm driveline axis is –μWωW. ωW is the angular velocity of the worm with respect to its mounting.
The viscous friction coefficient μG controls the viscous friction torque experienced by the gear, mainly from viscous bearing losses. The viscous friction torque on a gear driveline axis is –μGωG. ωG is the angular velocity of the gear with respect to its mounting.
Gear inertia is assumed negligible.
Gears are treated as rigid components.
Coulomb friction slows down simulation. See Adjust Model Fidelity.

- Introduction
- Development of marine navigation
- Modern navigation
The marine chronometer
Latitude could be determined by measuring the altitude of the Sun at noon or the altitude of any tabulated star when it crossed the local meridian, but the determination of longitude at sea remained a serious problem. By the Middle Ages, astronomers knew that the local time of an eclipse depended on the longitude, and in the 16th century they pointed out the principle of determining longitude by comparing the local time with the reading of a clock that reliably kept the time of a known meridian; because the Earth revolves 360° in 24 hours, or 1/4° every minute, it was possible to ascertain how far east or west a ship had traveled by comparing a marine timekeeper set to keep time with the location of the ship's point of departure and the ship's local time as measured by the Sun and stars. But no accurate marine timekeeper was then available. Even on dry land, the best 17th-century clocks were capable of keeping time to an accuracy of only one or two seconds over an interval of several days. Placed on board a ship, clocks became even more unreliable. After being subjected to bouncing waves, corrosive salt sprays, and unpredictable variations in temperature, pressure, and humidity, most shipboard clocks either stopped running or became too unstable to permit accurate navigation. Finally, in 1714, the British Board of Longitude offered a prize of £20,000 to anyone who could discover a method of finding the longitude within 30 miles during a sea voyage. After more than 40 years of disciplined labour, a barely educated British cabinetmaker named John Harrison won the prize by constructing the first practical marine chronometer, an oversized jeweled pocket watch that was nearly twice as accurate as the finest land-based clocks of his day. At last mariners had a way to determine both latitude and longitude. For decades thereafter the precise timing measurements obtained from marine chronometers, coupled with sextant sightings of the celestial bodies, allowed explorers to journey with dependable precision throughout the world.
Other aids to navigation
An Egyptian temple decoration dating from about 1600 bc shows a ship on which a member of the crew is measuring the depth of the water with a long pole. The Viking sailor took soundings with a lead weight on a line, hauling in the line and measuring it by the span of his arms. Today depths are still cited in 6-foot (1.8-metre) intervals called fathoms, from the Old Norse word fathmr ("outstretched arms"). The weight was commonly given a hollow bottom filled with tallow to pick up a sample of the seabed for comparison with the composition indicated on the chart. Distance from a cliff could be estimated by timing the echoes of shouts or drumbeats.
To reduce the risk of collision and to allow other ships to follow, a ship under way at night displayed running lights by which sailors on nearby vessels could judge its course and speed. The traditional coloured lights, red to port (left) and green to starboard (right), were augmented on steamships with a white light at the head of the foremast. In foggy weather, gongs, bells, or explosives were used to produce loud warning sounds; eventually these devices were replaced by foghorns. Rules that specified what lights must be shown, what signals must be given, and how ships must navigate in respect of each other were formulated for British mariners in 1862. These rules formed the basis of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, which were adopted by nearly all maritime nations after a conference held in 1889. Collision avoidance also was fostered by general acceptance of the recommendation—separate lanes for eastbound and westbound steamers in the heavily traveled North Atlantic—appearing in Sailing Directions (1855), prepared by the U.S. naval officer Matthew F. Maury, who also mapped ocean currents worldwide. The danger of running aground was lessened by a worldwide system of lighthouses, lightships, buoys, bells, and channel markers; the development of these aids to navigation is treated in the article lighthouse.
Modern navigation
By the end of the 19th century, marine navigation had evolved into a fully systematic technique, combining the simplicity and reliability required by its practitioners with the rigour and accuracy founded in the skills and knowledge of astronomers, mathematicians, cartographers, and instrument makers. Accurate and detailed sea charts and books of sailing directions were available for the planning of any proposed voyage. At any stage during the voyage, dependable almanacs, sextants, and chronometers made it possible to ascertain the ship's position with great precision through observation of the altitudes and azimuths of a few familiar stars. Routine trigonometric procedures for making the needed computations had been introduced by Thomas H. Sumner of the United States in 1837 and Marcq Saint-Hilaire of France in 1875. These astronomical determinations were supplemented by dead reckoning, which had been made more trustworthy by the continued development of compasses and logs.
The navigational principles, techniques, and devices in use about 1900 formed a secure foundation upon which immense changes were superimposed during the 20th century. The advent of air travel and then space travel made it necessary to modify some of the concepts that had been developed for the period in which voyages had been restricted to the surface of the Earth. Many of the new problems were solved by the application of technological innovations, notably radio communication and radio navigation, electronic instruments, and high-speed digital computers.
Speed measurement
The Pitot tube
The classical methods of measuring the speed of vessels through water are described in the section Distance and speed measurements. In the mid-18th century the French hydraulic engineer Henri Pitot, studying the flow of water in rivers and canals, invented a device—now called the Pitot tube—for measuring the speed of the flow past a given point. The Pitot tube has been applied to the measurement of wind speed, and it is equally useful as a log for ships or aircraft. A typical Pitot marine log consists of a pair of thin-walled tubes projecting through the bottom of the ship and bent so as to face the direction of motion. One tube is open at the forward end; the opening is referred to as the dynamic-pressure orifice. The second tube is closed at the end but has openings at right angles to its length; these openings are the static-pressure orifices. When the ship is dead in the water, the pressure is the same in the dynamic and static connections, but when the vessel moves ahead, the dynamic pressure exceeds the static pressure by an amount that varies as the square of the ship's speed. Another part of the log consists of a centrifugal water pump driven by a variable-speed electric motor. The dynamic pressure that is produced by such a pump varies as the square of the speed of the motor. The pressure produced by the motion of the ship is exerted against one face of a diaphragm; that produced by the pump is exerted against the other. Movement of the diaphragm operates the speed control of the motor so as to equalize the two pressures and thereby make the speed of the motor directly proportional to the speed of the ship. A magneto attached to the shaft of the motor generates a voltage proportional to the speed, and on the ship's bridge a voltmeter calibrated in knots provides a continuous indication of the progress of the vessel. Analogous Pitot logs, with less bulky attachments for translating air pressure differentials to speed readings, are almost universally installed in aircraft.

Derbyshire Premier cricket: Hard-hit Lullington frustrate champions
Posted: August 19, 2014|
A SCRATCH Lullington Park side played magnificently to earn a creditable draw against Premier League champions Swarkestone to dent the title ambitions of their opponents.
With 30 registered players declared unavailable through weddings, holidays, injuries, music festivals and football commitments, Park fielded a side with only three automatic 1st XI players and three debutants.
By contrast, Swarkestone had seven players who have played first class or list A County cricket – three of them this season.
Jamie Guthrie won the toss and elected to bat and after 25 overs Swarkestone were 141 for no wicket and on target for a huge score and an early declaration.
They lost Chris Durham (72) to the first ball after the interval, lbw to Matt Sanderson, missing a short one which he tried to hit out of the ground.
His opening partner Jake Needham (73) soon followed, caught on the boundary by Nick Richards to give Sanderson his second scalp.
Garry Park and Tom Hamilton added 55 until Hamilton holed out to Richards to give 17-year-old Will Roobottom a Premier League wicket in his first over.
The fourth and fifth wickets both fell at 227. Park reached 50 and was out next ball, caught by Adrian Shales off Sanderson, who then had Derbyshire's Alex Hughes stumped by stand-in keeper Tom Caron for five.
Lancashire's Wayne White hit a rapid 50 off 30 balls with five sixes but he gave Richards a first wicket, caught on the boundary by James Doherty. He got his second when Tom Knight was stumped for 23.
The mystery is why Guthrie chose to bat the full 50 overs, given Park's inexperienced team and fragile batting record, when a declaration would have given him extra overs to dismiss Lullington and get win points.
Park were never going to score 312 but they made a good fist of it.
Jamie Goodwin and Doherty added 55 for the first wicket and saw off Bruce Dilks and Harry White.
Goodwin top edged Park to Wayne White on the boundary for an impressive 26 and Doherty was bowled by the erratic Ben Winfield for 21.
Caron and Martin Walters then added 42. Caron got a leading edge to the spin of Knight and Needham took a fine diving catch, running from slip.
Steady partnerships were frustrating Swarkestone and Sanderson and Walters added another 48.
Wayne White was introduced into the attack as the seventh bowler.
He bowled Walters for 33 and Jonny Shales without scoring to give Swarkestone hope.
Useful cameos from Bill Arnold (11) and Wayne Harris (15*) supported Sanderson, who reached a well-deserved half century before being bowled by Park from the last ball of the match for 56.
This, together with his 4-63, rightly earned Sanderson the man-of-the-match award.
Park were satisfied with eight points given their problems and the draw was a brilliant achievement in the circumstances.
In three matches against the champions this season, Park remain unbeaten with a win and two draws.

Newcastle United striker Michael Owen has again pledged his future to the club, before admitting that he is tired of having to reiterate his commitment to the Magpies.
The 27-year-old England international says he was upset at having to fend off constant rumours about his future during the summer, as he continued his recovery from a serious knee injury.
He told The Mag: "I have only ever said positive things about Newcastle and always been 100 per cent committed.
"Whenever I have been doubted I've always responded the best way I know by scoring goals. But I'm stubborn and won't be bullied into saying things.
"I don't feel I should keep coming out every week and saying I'm loving this, that or the other.
"There was no speculation until various pieces came out in the media saying 'if Michael Owen doesn't say this, then I'll tell him that Chelsea and Liverpool aren't interested'.
"My management company used to get phone calls from boardroom level saying I haven't done this or I haven't done that, or we want more interviews on this.
"But when I'm injured I just put up a shield and take the abuse and remember who said it."

Spyderco Atlantic Salt
Where to Buy
I've owned the non-Salt version of this knife for…
Price Paid: $90
I've owned the non-Salt version of this knife for some time. It is an excellent basic design. I've since upgraded (so to speak) to this 'salt' version.
I wanted the knife for water sports (both sea kayaking and scuba). And the key features for me were: ability to cut through rope, netting, etc. - and do it an ocean/river/lake environment. I wanted a 'rescue'-style blade (sheepsfoot) with a fully serrated edge.
The original version (non-'salt') does these things admirably. However, it would corrode with any exposure to salt water. The 'salt' version stands up admirably to exposure to salt water - although even with the salt version, you wouldn't want to just stick it in your BC or paddling vest and just forget about it. You still want to take care of it, wash it at the end of the day, etc.
But back to functionality: this knife has 1 very basic function. It will absolutely rip through even very thick ropes - even cutting underwater. It's light, the plastic casing gives excellent sure-handed grip. It opens well with one hand. The clip works well to keep it secure. It's a very well designed and executed product.

The Origin of an Apple a Day Proverb
Wales is credited for early use of the phrase "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." In Wales they actually said "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread."
Apples are low in sodium & calories and high in fiber & vitamin C. They are easily transportable, inexpensive and some of the best apples around are grown in Michigan. They are versatile and available in so many varieties you can find one anyone will like.
Take advantage of apple season & enjoy!
If We Don't Have to Avoid Fat does that Mean Bacon is Good for Us?
I know its BLT season… we have them at least once a week when the tomatoes are fresh.
And, I know newly reported research says the 40 year attempt to get Americans to stop eating fat was generally misguided.
But bacon is still NOT good for us. It is, as they say, a sometimes food I'd like to remind you again:
5healthytowns.org/?module=News&event=View&categoryID=2&newsID=81 …while many studies
contribute to our general health knowledge, sometimes they are poorly done or incorrectly interpreted.
Our best defense against disease (& against occasional bad science) is a balanced diet. That means a rush to consume high fat food because recent news says we can is as unwise as completely eliminating fats.
Your grandmother understood balance when she served simply-prepared, colorful, fresh foods. Your children understand when they stop eating when they are full, not when their plate is empty. Keep it simple, everyone. Keep it simple.
Better than BMI
Most physicians and other health care practitioners determine if our weight is healthy by using a mathematical formula called Body Mass Index (BMI). The rest of us don't have any idea how to calculate a BMI.
Maybe instead of using BMI to determine if we're overweight we could use some simpler measures. Like these:
- If you look down while taking a shower, can you see your feet?
- Did you grunt last time you tried to get your seatbelt around your middle?
- If you shake a body part do some parts of that body part keeping jiggling when you stop shaking?
- Are you wearing wrist and ankle bracelets because those are the only parts of your body to which you want to call attention?
To quote a friend of mine… "I resemble that remark!"

Caught by My Own Lecture!
Yesterday I was watching the Olympics (those athletes are amazing) when my husband asked me if I wanted to go cross country skiing. I didn't want to go outside. I was cozy and entertained as a spectator.
Then I remembered the message I gave my children when they lived at home & parked themselves in front of ESPN. I frequently told them "It's much more satisfying to do something than to watch someone else do something."
I try, with mixed success, to avoid deliberate hypocrisy, so I got myself off the couch and into my outdoor clothes. Guess what. I was right! Nothing that happened while we were away from the t.v. was better than the exhilaration & sense of self-empowerment I experienced while outside on my skis.
Now I just have to remember my own message tomorrow. Then the day after that, and the next day…

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice
Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice
Here's the thing… it's another study. This one says sugar will kill you & they studied a lot of people eating a lot of sugar who are having health problems that are killing them.
But maybe it's not just the sugar. Maybe it's the fact that sugar is combined with unhealthy fats or the people selecting food with a lot of sugar are also sedentary or have genetics that develop 'addictions' to sugar (much like family treads of other addictions). Many other things could be influencing these findings.
We don't need another study to scare us. We know a lot of sugar is unhealthy. We know fried foods and large quantities of ground red meat are not good for our heart. We know sodas and other sugared drinks make a mess of our blood glucose. We know we should stay physically active throughout the day.
Instead of more scary studies, what do you really need to support your efforts to be healthy?
Never Give Up!
They say 90% of us won't keep our New Year's resolutions in 2014.
That means if 100 people make resolutions, 10 of them will change their lives for the better this year. That's not bad – especially if you're one of the 10 who make it.
Let's say the remaining 90 make the same resolutions in 2015 and 10% of those people keep their resolution (that's 9 more). Now 19 people have changed their lives for the good.
And in 2016, let's say the remaining 81 make the same resolution. Now 8 will make it & of our original 100, 27 have changed their lives – and possibly brought about changes in the lives of the people around them.
The remaining 73 will be reduced to 66, then 58, then 52 and so.
The point is, never quit quitting. Don't be discouraged if you are one of the 90 who don't make it this year. You can make changes and reap benefits. If you keep trying, eventually you will.

Here We Come on the Run with our Burgers on our Bun
Last night there was a fund raiser at the Chelsea Big Boy. A percent of the take went to the Chelsea Senior Center.
At the end of the fund raiser all their tips were donated to the Senior Center by the staff of the Big Boy. If you ever worked (or work) as a server, dishwasher or cook in a restaurant you know they work hard and you know those tips are important to their personal budgets.
I'm certain Trinh and her leadership team from the Senior Center extended many thanks to the staff at the Big Boy – I would like to add my admiration for their contribution. Events and sacrifices like these make our community healthy in a special way.

Tom Brady (NFL quarterback) is opening a sports therapy clinic to train athletes properly and PREVENT injury.
Think of the 5 healthy towns initiative as our 5 healthy towns own version of prevention only instead of prevention for elite athletes, it's prevention for you and me. We want everyone to have the opportunity to get and stay well.
Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester and Stockbridge won't get the press Tom Brady does but who needs all that attention, anyway?

It's The Right Thing To Do…..
Everywhere we look we're being told to "Eat whole grains." "Eat fresh food." It's very popular and quite hip to buy organic, at farmers markets or to grow your own food.
When did the food world turn upside down? Not more than two generations ago it was the poor people who ate whole grains & grew their own food because processing was more expensive.
I am going to fly in the face of the pundits who say it's expensive to eat healthy foods. Ounce for ounce, you still get better value & better food value if you buy whole foods instead of processed foods. Compare by weight and nutritional labels the difference between un-popped popcorn and pre-packaged popcorn; old fashioned oatmeal and instant oatmeal; Rice a Roni™; a bag of potatoes and a box of instant cheesy potatoes; fresh chicken or even chicken pieces and frozen, breaded chicken fingers…
We don't have to let hipster, foodies and food industry marketing hijack healthy eating. Ignore all the hype and serve and eat whole and fresh foods because you know it's the right thing to do.

In the previous post we saw how easy it is to get basic Relying Party (RP) and Identity Provider (IdP) websites up and running using a minimal amount of coding with Windows Identity Foundation (WIF).
I now want to extend these examples.
In this post I will look at how the RP website can be enhanced, not by adding to the code already written, but by removing it altogether! What I mean by that is the problem we have been trying to solve with custom code has already been solved and incorporated into WIF, and so there is no point in reinventing the wheel.
As a quick reminder, here is the scenario we are currently concentrating on:
The RP application as it currently stands is lacking in a number of areas:
The federation utility tool (FedUtil) is added to Visual Studio through with the WIF SDK. Using this tool it is possible to create new applications, or modify existing ones, so that they are claims aware with a good degree of security and reliability.
We start by modifying the RP application created in the previous post:
That is all that is required to set up the RP application. NB – a new STS project has also been created but ignore it for now.
The outcome of these steps is an update to the web.config file for the RP website. In order to understand what has been added and therefore what has been gained, it is instructive to go through each config file change.
The first addition is a reference to the assembly that enables the microsoft.identityModel config section to be deserialized:
<configSections> <section name="microsoft.identityModel" type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Configuration.MicrosoftIdentityModelSection, Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=220.127.116.11, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /></configSections>
<location path="FederationMetadata"> <system.web> <authorization> <allow users="*" /> </authorization> </system.web></location>
<authorization> <deny users="?" /></authorization>
Things now start to get more interesting with the addition of two HTTP modules:
<modules> <add name="WSFederationAuthenticationModule" type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.WSFederationAuthenticationModule, Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=22.214.171.124, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler" /> <add name="SessionAuthenticationModule" type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Web.SessionAuthenticationModule, Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler" /></modules>
The WSFederationAuthenticationModule module encapsulates all of the protocol logic for the WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile, including:
The SessionAuthenticationModule creates a cookie containing a session token describing the IClaimsPrincipal instance identified by the signin process. Upon subsequent requests the IClaimsPrincipal is restored from the cookie and made available to the main application.
Finally, the microsoft.identityModel config section is included, within which a <service> instance is placed (NB - The FedUtil tool doesn't address the entire microsoft.identityModel schema but an excellent overview is given here).
<microsoft.identityModel> <service> <audienceUris> <add value="https://wifrelyingparty/" /> </audienceUris> <federatedAuthentication> <wsFederation passiveRedirectEnabled="true" issuer="http://WIFRelyingParty_STS/" realm="https://wifrelyingparty" requireHttps="false" /> <cookieHandler requireSsl="true" /> </federatedAuthentication> <applicationService> <claimTypeRequired> <!--Following are the claims offered by STS 'http://localhost:30920/WIFRelyingParty_STS/'. --> <!--Add or uncomment claims that you require by your application and then update the federation metadata of this application.--> <claimType type="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/claims/name" optional="true" /> <claimType type="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/role" optional="true" /> </claimTypeRequired> </applicationService> <issuerNameRegistry type="Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry, Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <trustedIssuers> <add thumbprint="55B7A7A0CE02912B806F91460A3FB5E200C0F83E" name="http://localhost:30920/WIFRelyingParty_STS/" /> </trustedIssuers> </issuerNameRegistry> </service></microsoft.identityModel>
The <audienceUris> collection mandates that the RP website will only trust tokens whose audience restriction matches the given Uri. In the case of SAML 1.1 tokens, the intended audience set for the token is located within the <AudienceRestrictionCondition> element:
<saml:Assertion MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="1" AssertionID="_37ab6cb9-6c53-4df7-8472-4051bab5d3bd" Issuer="PassiveSigninSTS" IssueInstant="2010-09-07T19:03:03.279Z" xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion"> <saml:Conditions NotBefore="2010-09-07T19:03:03.279Z" NotOnOrAfter="2010-09-07T20:03:03.279Z"> <saml:AudienceRestrictionCondition> <saml:Audience>https://wifrelyingparty</saml:Audience> </saml:AudienceRestrictionCondition> </saml:Conditions> ......</saml:Assertion>
The <federatedAuthentication> element contains several properties each of which are:
The <cookieHandler> element describes various attributes about the RP environment concerning the cookie that will be used by the federation modules. The only default attribute included by the FedUtil tool is @requireSsl which indicates whether or not the RP website must be secured with SSL.
The <applicationService> element contains a list of claims that the issuer must supply in a token, although the optional attribute can be set. In fact this list of required claims is purely descriptive and by default no error occurs if a mandatory claim is missing. However, this list can be used by a ClaimsAuthenticationManager implementation to enforce mandatory claims.
The <issuerNameRegistry> element is used to verify the digital signatures of tokens received from issuers. i.e – only those tokens that contain an entry in the registry will be considered valid. The default implementation is the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ConfigurationBasedIssuerNameRegistry but a custom implementation can be plugged in if required. e.g – the registry may be the local machine certificate store.
Finally, what does all of this mean for the RP code written in the previous post? As a quick reminder, here is the code behind class for content.aspx:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Form[WSFederationConstants.Parameters.Result] != null) { // This is a response from the STS SignInResponseMessage mess = WSFederationMessage.CreateFromNameValueCollection( WSFederationMessage.GetBaseUrl(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url), HttpContext.Current.Request.Form) as SignInResponseMessage; // DO PRESENTATION LAYER STUFF } else { // This is a new request SignInRequestMessage mess = new SignInRequestMessage( new Uri("http://localhost/WIFIdentityProvider/Login.aspx"), "https://WIFRelyingParty", http://localhost/WIFRelyingParty/Content.aspx); HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(mess.WriteQueryString()); }}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ // DO PRESENTATION LAYER STUFF}
In summary, this article demonstrates that it is possible to make RP applications claims aware with a high degree of security and reliability using the federation utility tool. The fact that all of the code for enabling federation is hidden away in a set of HTTP modules means that the ASP.NET developer need only be concerned with the presentation layer.
This post concludes a 2 part series that covered the WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile and how it is enabled by Windows Identity Foundation.

Friday the 13th is the most widespread superstition in America! AND – hold onto your unlucky hats – there appear to be three such happenings on our 2009 calendar: February 13, March 13, and November 13. For those of you who suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobics, morbid fear of Friday the 13th, mark your calendars and take heed.
According to Dr. Donald Dossey, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of phobias, there may be as many as 21 million people in the United States who suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobics!
The origins of this superstition are unclear. Nevertheless, whether you think Friday the 13th to be unlucky or not, I thought it useful to share 13 Ways to Improve Your Luck – a special BeliefNet Gallery by Janice Taylor (Oh, wow, that's me! Crazy coincidence!!). After all, you can never have too much luck (or be too thin, or too rich either for that matter).
An excerpt from <a href=""13 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR LUCK"
Luck is thought to happen by chance; it's not thought to be something you can plan for or obtain by intention. Some say luck is decided by our fates, or believe that some fortunate souls are mysteriously born under a lucky star.
At quick glance, it might look like there is truth to that. After all, some people's lives overflow with abundance, vitality, successful careers, and loving relationships.
However, luck is not just a random event. Webster's Dictionary defines luck as "a force that brings good fortune or adversity; a force that operates for or against an individual." So, if luck is a force, you should be able to tap into it … at any time!
After a great deal of research and experimentation, I am here to tell you that there are ways in which you can tap into positive force and improve your luck. Indeed, luck is the product of our own mental focus and attitudes. Imagine now that by changing your focus, you can intentionally increase the amount of luck you experience in all areas of life. …. to improve your luck, read on!
Happy Friday!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!

The Steel Mixer by Mark Dunn. Designed for Steel Guitarists.
* New model with dobro simulator now available *
The Steel Mixer is connected between the steel guitar and amplifier; the volume pedal and effects pedals are patched into dedicated inputs and outputs. The primary job of the Steel Mixer is to ensure the signal path from the guitar to the amplifier is maintained as pure and clean as possible. To a guitar signal it's like a piece of glass! The dry guitar signal never passes through an effects unit, it only passes through the Steel Mixer. Effect signals are added to the pure dry signal using controls on a leg mounted remote box that is ideally positioned for the steel guitarist.
Using a unique switching system the order of the volume pedal and effects pedals can be changed to achieve popular pedal arrangements. In addition to handling the signal path, the Steel Mixer also generates a number of power supplies that can be used to power up common volume and effects pedals.
Thank you for checking out the Steel Mixer website. Please feel free to email Mark with suggestions and comments about the site: firstname.lastname@example.com

Airport welcomes new route
Aberdeen Airport is welcoming news that north-east passengers will now be able to fly to Monastir in Tunisia.
Thomas Cook will operate flights to Monastir in Tunisia in June and July 2010 from the north-east.
Often referred to as the Jewel of the Mediterranean, Tunisia offers many exotic locations and a hugely diverse North African culture. It is an ideal destination for sun, sea and sand, which makes relaxing on a Mediterranean beach after camel trekking through the Sahara more accessible from the north-east of Scotland than ever.
Kevin Brown is the Airport MD. He said "I am really pleased that we are able to announce this new route, and are hopeful that with support from passengers right around the north-east it will be able to continue into the winter programme as well."
Rob Thompson, Aviation and Planning Director at Thomas Cook, said: "We want to offer as much flexibility as possible, so that holidaymakers can enjoy the convenience of flying from their local airport, so we're very pleased to introduce Monastir as a destination from Aberdeen Airport."
The announcement comes just after Thomas Cook introduced two Turkish destinations – Dalaman and Antalya - for Summer 2010. To give half term holidaymakers more options in October, an extra flight from Aberdeen to Tenerife has also been added.
It doesn't stop there, work is continuing behind the scenes to secure new routes and destinations as far ahead winter 2010 and summer of next year. Mr Brown went on to say "Following the collapse of Flyglobespan, we have been working hard with airlines to develop a diverse flight schedule out of Aberdeen Airport. A great deal of planning goes into filling routes, such as ensuring aircraft are available and that there are crew teams to operate flights, so it is a hugely complex process. Importantly the airlines all really appreciate the value of routes out of Aberdeen and agree that this market has potential. "

This review is from: The Homework Handbook: Practical Advice You Can Use Tonight to Help Your Child Succeed Tomorrow (Paperback)
This book is written directly to the point with intelligence and wit, yet it is a comprehensive and sophisticated treatment of the worrisome topic. There is obviously much thoughtful experience serving as the background for the practical advice offered to parents. The discussion of various types of homework problems and the inclusive approach for remediation are particularly good.

Yesterday at TechEd North America we announced that Visual Studio 2013 and Team Foundation Server 2013 will be shipping later this year. A preview will be available on June 26, and that preview will have a "go live" license so that you can use it in production if you'd like.
Brian Harry posted a nice overview of the new ALM capabilities we announced yesterday.
Brian and I also delivered a foundational session at TechEd which goes deeper into these capabilities. We spent most of our time in demos so that you can get a real sense for what will be shipping in the preview. I hope you enjoy it.
Hi John,
No, I don't have any immediate plans to update those other VM's. There haven't been any major changes to these scenarios in 2013. We'll have some smaller stuff coming out around DevOps in the 2013 timeframe but it's not ready in the Preview just yet.

Critical Essay by Richard A. Duprey
It is incredible to consider that on the basis of four plays, one little more than a fragment, Edward Albee, the enfant terrible of America's avant garde, is being seriously considered in many quarters as a genuinely important playwright. The same critics and theorists who deny Thornton Wilder his legitimate right to be called a great playwright because he has written so little are ready to canonize young Albee as the greatest thing in modern drama.
This neatly tailored young man, who sounds quite rational and even personable, writes like a bomb-carrying anarchist. Without benefit of beret and red armband he seems to be principal among the new iconoclasts in our theatre. This group, claiming some inspiration from lonesco, causing many a theatre-goer to shake his head in helpless bewilderment, seek, it seems, to shake the contemporary theatre...

San Francisco Chronicle
From Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, A. I., and X-Files, to the genre grotesqueries of Child's Play and The Puppet Master, so much of our popular storytelling concerns forces and phenomena our culture firmly insists aren't real and cannot exist...In a dizzying and fascinating alternate history scored with subterranean connections, Nelson presents alchemists, Platonists, Gnostics and magi in their own terms and contexts...In this rich work of erudite charms, Nelson convincingly argues that the cultural pendulum is swinging back to the platonic side. But because our rigid scientific materialism doesn't allow us to take any of this seriously, we are left with mostly unconscious expressions that overemphasize the sensational and horrific dark side, with a little sentimental New Age nod to the latent good.

Smith released after DUI, pot arrest
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)
San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Aldon Smith was released from jail Friday after his pickup truck apparently struck a tree and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana possession, authorities said.
In a photo provided by the San Jose Police Department, San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith appears in a booking photo. Smith was arrested Friday Sept. 20, 2013, in San Jose, Calif., on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana possession, authorities said.
Smith later took to the practice field with his teammates Friday afternoon at team headquarters in Santa Clara. He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 4.
Smith declined to comment when reporters asked about his arrest.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters Friday that he expects that Smith will play Sunday when the Niners host the Indianapolis Colts at Candlestick Park.
"I expect Aldon -- like today -- he'll be back to work and playing on Sunday," Harbaugh said. "I anticipate that, yes."
Harbaugh said that any potential discipline will likely come from the NFL.
"There will be consequences. There always is," Harbaugh said. "Good or bad, we all have consequences."
Smith, 23, posted $5,250 bail and was released from the Santa Clara County jail late Friday morning, just hours after he was taken into custody by police responding to a single-vehicle crash that involved his truck in San Jose, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Sgt. Kurtis Stenderup said.
THE ROAD TO SB XLVIIIFrom the opening kickoff to the Super Bowl, the best NFL action is on FOX. See the full NFL on FOX schedule.
San Jose police arrested Smith after officers received a call from a resident about the crash in the city's Silver Creek area around 7 a.m., Sgt. Heather Randol said.
Officers gave Smith breath tests and other tests after his pickup apparently struck a tree, hit a curb and left streak marks on a driveway and sidewalk.
"They conducted an investigation and determined he was under the influence," Randol said about Smith. "He was the only person inside the vehicle."
The linebacker, who helped the 49ers get to the Super Bowl last season, has 37 sacks in 34 career games and was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was an All-Pro last season.
Smith won the team's MVP award last season as he set the Niners' franchise record with 19 sacks. A first-round draft pick out of Missouri in 2011, Smith also set the team's rookie sack record with 14 that year.
His teammate, Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis, said Friday that Smith's arrest caught him by surprise as the team constantly talks about staying out of trouble.
"Some guys listen, some guys don't. You can take the horse to the water, but you can't make him drink. It's all about doing the right thing," Davis said. "I'm sure he'll come around. It's just a matter of time. Hopefully, he'll learn from this situation that he got himself into, and maybe it will come out positive instead of negative."
SIDELINE PRINCESSESThey're fit, they're pretty and we can't get enough of them. Check out the the 2013 NFL cheerleaders.
Smith, who turns 24 on Wednesday, has had other issues with the law as he was also arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Miami Beach in January 2012.
In addition, he's named in a lawsuit by a Northern California man who said he was shot during a party at Smith's house.
In the suit filed earlier this month in Santa Clara County Superior Court, David Kleczek, an attorney for Ronndale Esporlas, claims that Smith and former 49ers tight end Delanie Walker fired weapons illegally during a party at Smith's San Jose home on June 29, 2012.
The players charged a $10 admission and $5 per drink, the lawsuit said. Smith and Walker, who is also named in the suit, were allegedly intoxicated on Smith's balcony when they later fired gunshots in the air while trying to end the party, the lawsuit said.
Kleczek said they then moved to the driveway where he alleged more shots were fired. Esporlas, 21, was shot twice in the leg while he was "caught in the crossfire between the two groups of people firing gunshots at each other," the lawsuit said.
As a result, Esporlas, "sustained serious, catastrophic and permanent injuries," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Attorneys for Smith and Walker, 29, who currently plays for the Tennessee Titans, have said Esporlas "freely and voluntarily exposed himself to all risks of harm" by attending the party.
They say injuries suffered by Esporlas, who was shot in the leg, were not caused by the defendants.
Santa Clara County prosecutors have said they are considering criminal charges.

Here is some debate from users fueled by the Youtube availability of this exact episode:
The video screen shot also shows the twitter handle Skip Bayless, the man currently debating, so you can easily reach them or pose questions to the show.
PTI used to only use email for the show during their "Mail Time" segment in which viewers send in questions for the hosts. Now they almost exclusively rely on twitter and facebook.
SportsNation uses it for polling their viewers and adding the results to the show:
Not only has the social medias added to the sports debate shows, it has also added to debate done outside of any show medium. On November 23 of this year, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made a catch that some consider to be the greatest of all-time. Not according to NFL analyst Adam Schefter.
Obviously some of his followers will either agree or disagree with him, but it all starts that social debate.
Cain talks about how the new social media is a vessel for harassment. This is no different in the world of sports. Many of the responses to Schefter's harmless tweet were expletive filled. The Podcast SVP & Russillo actually has a segment based on the written wars that co-host Scott Van Pelt gets into with his followers.
Even with all the advantages of the new media sports personalities are still highly discouraged in getting involved in political issues.
Baseball writer Keith Law was suspended last weekend after tweeting about intermediate fossils and the existence of evolution. And long time writer and TV personality Bill Simmons was suspended for calling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a "liar" when the commisioner said that he had not seen the footage of player Ray Rice beating up his girlfriend.
This showcases the uses of social media for a hobby topic like sports versus the more substantial and political topics.

"Tiana pulled her new truck up to the front of her gallery, and just sat there as she felt herself get first hot and then cold. After a few seconds she leaned her head against the steering wheel. Damn.
She sat there for several minutes just controlling her breathing and then pulled her cell phone out of her purse. It rang once before being picked up.
"Waters Investigative Agency." A perky voice answered. Tiana nearly rolled her eyes, she liked the teenager that James had hired to be the receptionist for his Kamiah office, but still it was eight o'clock in the morning and she'd only had one cup of coffee so far.
"Hi Dawn, this is Tiana. Can I speak to James, please."
"Oh, hi Tiana. Sure, he just walked in a few minutes ago, I'll transfer you."
Powwow music played on the line briefly and then the reassuring sound of her intended's voice came across the line.
"Hi babe, what's up?"
"Honestly, I wish I wasn't." Tiana knew her voice sounded odd, but with seeing the terrible vision in front of her she just couldn't work anything else into it.
"What's wrong?"
"What isn't?"
"Honey, what's happened? You sound like you did when your grandmother was in the hospital."
"Yeah, well this is almost as bad."
"Where are you?"
"My gallery." Tiana sighed and then rubbed her eyes tiredly with her other hand. "It's toast, James."
She heard a thump, and then James' breath accelerated. "Someone burned it down?"
"No, but they might as well have. The front window is busted out, the door is hanging on one hinge, and from what I can see through the window, any and all stock I had is completely destroyed. Anything that was breakable is smashed. I can't see the glass case that I locked the beadwork in but it's probably been destroyed as well."
"Stay right there. Don't get out of your truck, you are in your truck right?"
"Of course."
"Stay there, and lock yourself in. Whoever did this could still be around, and I don't want you getting hurt."
"I know that James, I'm not a complete idiot." Tiana growled.
"Sorry babe, can't help it. I just found you again, and I have no intention of losing you the way we did Grandmother. Have you called the police yet?"
At the mention of her grandmother's death the year before, Tiana's heart clenched tightly before she took a deep breath and released the tension.
"You're kidding right? After what happened last year, I think it's going to be a long time before I trust a tribal cop again." Tiana's voice turned sour.
Tiana heard James take a deep breath. "Tiana, you can't blame what happened with Starla on the entire tribal police force. Most of them are good people, she was just one bad apple in the barrel."
"Want to bet?" Tiana muttered beneath her breath. No way was she trusting anyone but James from now on. He might not be a cop, but she would trust him with her life. He would never betray her, she knew that with complete certainty.
"Tiana." James' voice wasn't scolding precisely, but it got his point across none the less.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, one bad apple in the barrel. I still trust you more than I'll ever trust a tribal cop again. Call them if you want to, but I'm not going to."
"Well now, if that's not a declaration of love, I don't know what is. Be still my beating heart." James teased, a mechanism he frequently applied when worried.
"Yeah, well it might be another year before you hear it again, babe." Tiana emphasized the last word, teasing him right back.
"Is that a challenge?"
"Nah, just stating a fact." She replied nonchalantly.
Tiana heard an engine start up. "I'm on my way, just stay put. I'm going to hang up for a minute so I can call the tribal police, but then I'm calling you right back."
"Thanks." Tiana smiled. James was getting into what she called, his "fed mode." It was cute really, unless it was annoying, which unfortunately most of the time it was.
"Love you." Tiana's heart melted.
"Love you too. Hurry up!"
Tiana closed her flip phone and set it on the seat within easy reach while she studied the destroyed remains of her gallery. Thank God they didn't torch it or something. At least this appeared to just be a clean up job. Still she knew it was going to be one hell of a clean up job. Her insurance company would handle the destruction of the stock, and probably the building itself, but the gallery would be out of commission for a month at least from the look of it. She was going to have to have the front windows, and door replaced. She couldn't see the back of the shop but she new in all likelihood the perpetrator had got to the service entrance door as well.
Glass littered the sidewalk in front of the gallery. The sunlight caught something in the glass and flashed gold. What could that be?
The temptation to get out of the truck and go dig through the glass was strong. It's probably nothing.
But what if it was something? What if it was a clue? There wasn't much foot traffic this time of morning, but it was possible someone could come along and pick it up, or step on it and crush it.
Tiana put her hand on the door handle. James is going to kill me. Twisted the handle and pushed the door open. She carefully shut the door not closing it all the way in case she needed to get back in the truck in a hurry.
She stepped up on the sidewalk and when she felt shards of glass crunch under her feet, she inwardly sighed with relief that she was wearing the boots James had bought her for her birthday. Their soles were tough enough that the glass wouldn't tear them up, and also wouldn't poke through to her tender feet.
Tiana bent over trying to get a closer look at the object when she heard a throat clear. She winced. She would know that sound anywhere.
"I thought I told you to stay in the truck, Tiana."
"Yeah, well I saw something in the glass here." She pointed to the item and the sunlight caught it again.
"I see it. Here." James handed her a small plastic baggie and gave her a chiding look. "You know better than to tamper with evidence." He scolded.
Tiana rolled her eyes. "I wasn't going to pick it up, James."
"Okay, but you know that even you walking in the glass here could destroy a clue to who did this, right?" James pulled on a pair of latex gloves and then bent down and carefully picked up the item, holding it up so Tiana could see it.
Tiana stepped closer to James. "It's a gold earring." She said, disappointed. "I thought maybe it was a clue, but someone probably just dropped it before the gallery was vandalized."
James tsked. "Not necessarily, the perpetrator could have been wearing this earring and it fell out when he or she was doing the vandalizing."
"I suppose so, but what are the chances of us finding the owner of this earring. It's not like a woman is going to walk around with one earring in."
"It could also be a guy. You know it's not that uncommon, even here on the rez for a guy to have an earring."
"Maybe, but that one looks more like something a woman would wear."
"Perhaps, but look at this."
Tiana bent closer to see what James was pointing at without touching the earring. "What is that?"

J Street Debuts in 'Times Magazine'
Left-leaning Israel lobby group is generational shift, James Traub says
J Street, the year-old progressive "pro-peace, pro-Israel" lobbying group, has its official coming-out party in this weekend's New York Times Magazine. Writer James Traub paints a sharp contrast between J Street 's upstart team of "netroots"-savvy whiz kids, led by Jeremy Ben-Ami, and the staid leadership of the old-guard Jewish organizations—the Conference of Presidents, the Zionist Organization of America, and, yes, AIPAC—who, in Traub's characterization, spend their time hanging out at evangelical Christian rallies and ruing the end of the Bush Administration. Ben-Ami, Traub writes, has arrived "at a propitious moment"—a time when many liberal Jews, energized by the Obama campaign and unimpressed by the failure of the neoconservatives to ink a peace deal, are ready to try Obama's get-tough approach on settlements and the two-state solution. "One these issues, which pose a difficult quandary for the mainstream groups, J Street knows exactly where it stands," Traub writes.
There was, of course, a time, in the early 1980s, when AIPAC, at least, was run by left-leaning progressives—people like Tom Dine, a veteran of Ted Kennedy's presidential campaign—but Traub seems to be suggesting that what's going on is generational, more than anything else. M.J. Rosenberg, another veteran of AIPAC, told Traub that "all the old Jewish people in senior-citizen homes speaking Yiddish are dying, and they're being replaced by 60-year-old Woodstock types." But Rosenberg—who cheerfully blogged this morning that the Times story "heralds a new day"—missed the mark by about thirty years. The real shift, Traub writes, is from the moment of people like the Conference of Presidents' Malcolm Hoenlein and the Zionist Organization's Morton Klein, both born in Europe amid the wreckage of the Holocaust, to that of people like Ben-Ami, whose great-grandparents helped found Tel Aviv, who handed out leaflets for Carter as a teenager, and whose office is filled with thirty-something Jews who are intermarried and "all doing Buddhist seders." As with the Cubans in Florida, who have outgrown their exile mentality, Traub argues, J Street believes American Jews no longer need to be "in thrall to the older generation" when it comes to the Middle East.
But it seems to us that there's really something even deeper going on—not so much a shift in opinion, but a shift away from the idea that American Jews should, or even could, arrive at something like a unified opinion on Israel. Traub draws a distinction between the fortresslike offices of AIPAC and most other major Jewish groups and those of J Street, which he describes as glassy and airy and open. Last week, J Street announced that it had hired Hadar Susskind, an Israeli-born, American-raised veteran of both the IDF and the Hill, to be its new director of policy. In this week's Forward, Susskind writes: "It's time for all of us who grew up loving Israel and praying for peace to stop letting the mythical notion that American Jews speak with a single voice keep us from supporting Israel's security and future by calling for peace."

Follow @MS_SystemCenter
See all of the top support solutions for our most common issues here
When creating an Update List and downloading software updates for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, some but not all of them may fail with the error "invalid certificate signature" in the confirmation page of the Software Updates Deployment Wizard. This is seen with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and can happen for other large updates as well. The hotfix from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938759 does not help in these cases.
Cause: This is a known issue with the Configuration Manager Console running on Operating System prior to Windows Vista, such as Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. This is documented here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932193.aspx under the heading "Downloading Large Software Update Files Might Fail"
Resolution: The workaround for now is to use Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 to run the Configuration Manager Console to download these larger updates.
Clifton Hughes | Senior Support Engineer
I've encountered this error when attempting to download some updates on a console running on Windows Server 2008 R2. For some of them I was able to get them to download by disabling Protected Mode for the Internet zone, but others still have the problem. I haven't been able to identify a secondary solution.
I found that if I closed and re-opened the Configuration Manager Console after disabling Protected Mode the problem updates would then download.
