The two IT lobbying groups that had been locked in a bitter legal battle for the past half year have settled their $5 million dispute.
TechAmerica sued the Information Technology Industry Council and three former employees in November 2013, alleging those employees had breached their contracts and taken proprietary information with them when they left.
TechAmerica's suit, filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, followed the Nov. 4 resignations of four senior public procurement lobbyists -- Trey Hodgkins, Erica McCann, Pam Walker and Carol Henton. On Nov. 5, ITI announced that those four would be the core of its new venture, the Information Technology Alliance for Public Sector (ITAPS).
TechAmerica named Hodgkins, Walker and Henton in its suit, but not McCann. The group sought $5 million in damages, a temporary restraining order barring disclosure of trade secrets, a permanent injunction, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and court costs.
In short statements issued May 2, both groups said they had agreed to a satisfactory resolution, but provided little detail. Spokespeople for both organizations declined further comment on the agreement.
"ITI is committed to focusing on the vibrancy of the technology sector and the dynamic future that ICT innovation brings to consumers around the world. To ensure continued success in achieving this vision, ITI and TechAmerica have agreed to the resolution of pending litigation between them and have entered into a confidential agreement to resolve all claims, without any admission of wrongdoing," ITI President and CEO Dean Garfield said in the statement.
TechAmerica's CEO sounded a similar note.
"TechAmerica's top priority is always the success of our members, and the larger U.S. technology industry, and all actions we take are to serve that goal, including the settlement between ITI and TechAmerica. This resolution is in the best interests of our members," said Shawn Osborne, TechAmerica president and CEO.

In comic strips and action movies, robot exoskeletons give inventors superpowers. In factories and other work environments, robot exoskeletons support workers, to improve occupational safety.
The need for improved occupational safety is large. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported more than 3 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses in private industry during 2013. The impact on productivity is large, with a median eight days off from work due to injury or illness. The number of fatal work injuries was much smaller, at about 4,500, but the personal impact is, of course, immense.
For assembly line and other industrial workers, repetitive stress is a common medical issue. The Chairless Chair supports workers in a half-sitting position, customized to their specific body shape. Wearers don't have to drag a chair with them as they move about; the Chairless Chair moves with them.
The Ekso Works, like the Chairless Chair, transfers the user's weight to the ground. It goes a step further in having a sprung arm that can handle a heavy tool, making it practically weightless to the person wearing the exoskeleton. Another exoskeleton, the Fortis, lets wearers lift heavy objects effortlessly in a standing or kneeling position. Wearers will be able to work more easily in areas where bench-mounted tools can't be used.
A device that fits around the wearer's calf, the Walking Assist Clutch, literally puts a spring in the wearer's step. The device is triggered at a specific moment during a stride and increases the efficiency of walking by seven percent. This would benefit workers who are on their feet all day long, like nurses or a police officer walking a beat.
Businesses are looking at these devices to provide more ergonomic work environments, and increase employee productivity as well as minimizing health expenses due to employee injuries. For employees, benefits include the reduced risk of injury, and no lost wages from unpaid time off. Outside the workplace, exoskeletons will enable paralyzed individuals and frail elderly to maintain independence. In those cases, the exoskeleton is indeed delivering a superpower.
Information technology teams are often eager to work with the latest technology, but they aren't always that eager to work with new processes, which are seen as management fads with little benefit to the technical workers. If the team doesn't support the new process, it may fail, reinforcing that opinion. Managers should take steps to get the team to buy into the new process, so they are invested in its success. Here are some steps that will help your team buy into a new process and help it succeed:
When you talk about the new process with your team, your belief in it has to be evident. If you aren't able to convincingly explain what the new process will achieve, the team won't be motivated to make it work. If you can show the team how the new process will benefit them – not just you or the business - that's even better. Even the most dedicated employee has a little bit of "what's in it for me?" inside them.
Even if you're the one mandating the new process, if you take input from the team, they'll feel ownership of the process and want it to succeed. When someone offers a good suggestion, integrate it into the process. Also, realize that developing a good process requires iteration. Be willing to modify the process, once you see how it works in reality.
Don't mandate a new process and then wait for a final report. It may take time to fully roll out the process, and you need to be aware of how the team is responding each step of the way. Have regular feedback meetings, and let the team know that getting feedback is a priority. If you're not hearing any complaints, don't assume everything is going fine. Schedule one-on-one discussions with different team members to get their opinions; you may get feedback they weren't comfortable offering in a public forum.
A team is also more likely to believe in the value of a new process if they hear about benefits from a peer, not just management. If the new process is rolled out over time, rather than implemented across the entire company simultaneously, non-management employees who found the change to be positive can become evangelists for the change. Let them spread the good news to your team and share their excitement. They can get your team excited about the change, too, which goes far beyond simply accepting the change, and is much more likely to make the change succeed.
If you like taking the big view, working as a systems engineer may be the right career choice for you. Systems integration engineers focus on the entire system, not just a single piece of it in isolation. They're responsible for making sure the hardware, software, and network function together with appropriate performance and security.
Succeeding as a systems engineer means being well rounded technically, as well as having good interpersonal skills. Here are four skills essential to your success.
1. Understand computer hardware, software, and networking
Systems integration engineers typically have a degree in computer science, computer engineering, or other technical disciplines. Solving system integration problems requires the ability to understand all the different components of a deployed solution. Because integration issues often arise when older technology must be coupled with newer technology, systems integration engineers should enjoy constant learning.
2. Enjoy both analytical and hands-on work to solve problems
Systems integration engineers have to untangle difficult interoperability issues that arise when different application components are developed, at different times, by separate teams. This can require analysis of application and network logs, as well as writing middleware code to make components work together. Systems integration engineers often are involved with testing the system, including unit testing of middleware and complete end-to-end testing of the application.
3. Communicate well with customers and other engineers
Because they solve middleware issues, systems integration engineers should be able to participate in technical discussions with other systems integration engineers and their software engineering and network engineering colleagues, to discuss application and architectural issues. They should be able to develop technical documents to propose alternative solutions, document the implemented design, and define test cases.
4. Bring a focused attitude to work with a strong attention to detail
The solution to systems integration problems often is found by understanding the fine points of the application. Systems integration engineers should have the persistence to methodically work through a problem and multiple potential solutions to identify the best approach for resolving it. Systems integration engineers may need to switch focus from thinking about long-term design issues to solving an immediate application issue, so the ability to switch between tasks without losing focus is key.
As computer applications and the environments they run in become ever more complex, there's no end to the challenges systems integration engineers need to solve, making this an exciting career for technically oriented thinkers who thrive on variety.
You may think the transition of an application from development to production happens at the end of the software lifecycle, but achieving a successful transition requires thinking about it all the way back at the start of the development process. Here are 10 things you can do during development to make it easier for the operations team to take responsibility for the app in production:
1. Make it easy to gather metrics. A key part of the operations team's job is monitoring what the application is doing and how it's doing it. That's a lot easier when the application gathers basic information and provides hooks for ops to check other performance numbers.
2. Document system dependencies. No system runs in isolation, but if the ops team doesn't know your application depends on some obscure package, that package may end up getting deleted to free up space. Put together a list of all the necessary components to make sure they get installed and stay installed to keep your app running.
3. Degrade gracefully. Don't write an application that falls apart when there's any sort of problem. Applications should flag problems and alert the support team, but continue functioning as fully as possible. This means applications shouldn't fail to come up just because the log file system is full.
4. Keep compatibility in mind. If your application can run with past and future versions of third-party products, the DevOps team will have a much easier time deploying your application and managing it, especially if it runs in a shared environment where other applications may want different versions of those components.
5. Make it easy to change configuration settings. A key responsibility of the DevOps team is keeping applications running when the environment around them is shifting. Building connection strings and other configuration settings into compiled code makes it impossible for DevOps to do that.
6. Provide configurations settings and flags for as much as possible. If a feature isn't configurable or can't be turned off and on, the DevOps team has no way to control it and manage the impact in production.
7. Build with scalability in mind. If you're lucky, your application will be wildly successful and have to grow to support more users. A well-designed application will let DevOps handle this by running the app on more nodes. If you don't design the application well, it may need to go back to the development team for a rewrite before the user base can expand.
8. Think about support scripts. The support team would love to automate as much of their job as possible. This means making sure application functionality can be invoked from a command line, rather than only by clicks within a GUI.
9. Provide a regression test suite. DevOps wants the application to keep running when the environment around it changes. A robust regression test suite lets them verify the system will still work after they make changes.
10. Document. Document. Document. There's a ton of critical information that exists only in the developers' heads. Writing it down means the DevOps team won't need to call developers in the middle of the night to find out where to change a configuration setting.
The job sounds perfect, until you hear what they want to pay you. A job offer doesn't necessarily need a yes or no answer right away. If the role and responsibility are what you want but the salary isn't, you may be able to negotiate to get an offer you can say "yes" to. Use these six tips to help get you what you need to say "yes".
1. Know what you want. It's difficult to get to a place of "yes" when you're not sure what that means. Before the interview, do research to know what market rate salaries and benefits are for the position you want. Not only does this insure that the number you ask for is realistic, you can point to the data to back you up in your discussions with the business.
2. Don't be the first one to bring up money. Sometimes you have more wiggle room than the company does. They may have a firm budget, while you have an aspirational salary goal but flexibility to take less for the right opportunity. If the company asks what you expect, and your goal number is outside their budget, you may never find out they could have paid a salary within your flexible range.
3. Negotiate better benefits. Not all monetary compensation comes in your paycheck. Vacations and paid time-off have implicit dollar values, too. Particularly at smaller companies, you may be able to negotiate some extra days off in place of a larger number each payday.
4. Negotiate a better title. Sometimes if the company can't give you a bigger check, you may want to negotiate for a better title. At some firms, this can put you into another salary band and potentially improve your future salary, even if they can't budge on the initial one. The better title will look more impressive on your resume and can help when you look for your next job, too.
5. Stay pleasant. Always negotiate calmly and politely. Remember, if your negotiation succeeds, you'll be working with these people. You want them to be happy when you show up to start your new job.
6. Practice. It's likely the person across the desk from you has negotiated salaries more often than you have. Whether you're negotiating in person or via e-mail, get input from a coach who can help you prepare and guide you through the negotiating process.
The moment you graduated from college, your skills were well on their way to becoming obsolete. Sounds depressing, but that's a fact of life for an IT professional. Technology changes daily, seemingly at the speed of light. It's up to you to keep up if you want to remain relevant and marketable in your field. Here are a few tips that may help:
The IT field is rife will professionals who are highly knowledgeable, but unable to communicate what they know to people who don't speak IT. Increasingly, employers are adding communication skills and other soft skills to their list of "must haves". Become a more well-rounded candidate, and you'll have your pick of opportunities.
Between your career and your outside obligations, remaining relevant in the IT field can seem like just one more thing to fit into an already overbooked day. But taking some time to focus on your professional development is essential to your career. Schedule some time into each week to keep up on industry news and advancements.
Commit to continuing education as part of your career strategy. Work towards new certifications each year, learn new programming languages and technologies, or return to school to obtain advanced degrees. Your employer will likely encourage this initiative and offer reimbursement or allow you to expense at least part of the cost. If not, consider it an investment in your own future.
Stay in touch with others in your field. Join groups, either online or by networking in person. Attend conferences and speeches by industry leaders so that you are always abreast of new developments. It's easy to work in a vacuum, but by making that regular commitment to engage, you increase your knowledge and marketability.
In a field where staying cutting-edge is essential to the industry and your career, it's important to make the time to improve your interpersonal and technical skills, that way you will always be ready for the next big opportunity that comes your way.

Does the EVF turn off touch?
Jan 22, 2012
Hi all, am I correct to assume that when you put your eye to the EVF and the LCD turns off, touch is also disabled?
Do you have to be careful to get your eye to the EVF without touching the LCD with your nose first?

A thought provoking wine, even though I would never buy more of this I enjoyed drinking this. Definite secondary aged flavors play in this wine. A odd but enjoyable wine at this point although I am sure this wouldn't have lasted another year or two.Post a Comment / View gripNsip's profile

Boston Marathon participants can expect to see Gatorade in the Athletes' Village in Hopkinton before the race with Gatorade's Endurance Prime and Endurance Formula; at 25 hydration stations along the course with Lemon-Lime Endurance Formula; and in the finish area on Boylston Street with a recovery beverage to help runners refuel their bodies.
The Gatorade Endurance line of products is designed specifically for endurance athletes who have specific fueling needs, and is grounded in years of hydration and sports nutrition research. Gatorade Endurance products are available at run, bike, and tri specialty stores nationwide.
1920 - Ashland Start
The Boston Marathon began in Ashland, Massachusetts from 1897 through 1923 then moved to Hopkinton for the 1924 race. The course was lengthened to 26 miles, 385 yards to conform to the Olympic standard, and the starting line was moved west from Ashland to Hopkinton. Since then, the race has started in Hopkinton every year.

How does the NCAA define whether a prospect is considered a recruited athlete?
A prospect is considered a recruited athlete if the college takes one of the following actions:
- If they provide the prospect with an official visit.
- If they have an off-campus contact with the prospect or the prospect's parents or legal guardians.
- If they offer the prospect a National Letter of Intent or an athletic scholarship agreement.
- If they initiate a telephone conversation with the prospect or his parents or legal guardians more than one time.
Ironically, a coach can have frequent e-mail conversations with a prospect but that athlete will still not be defined as a recruited athlete if the coach does not use any of the four actions above to encourage the prospect to attend the college and join their athletic program.

- Release Date: Mar 1, 2011
- Summary: The husband-and-wife duo releases its debut full-length album of African and Middle Eastern-influenced music.
- Record Label: Kompakt
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 7 out of 14
Mixed: 5 out of 14
Negative: 2 out of 14
Apr 15, 2011Euro synth duo, tuneful and sometimes haunting, always droney fun‑-textured, beaty lines under an unnaturally high-voiced girly-woman singing lyrics of no importance when you can make them out, which isn't often.
Mar 10, 2011Sometimes befuddling but never boring, Rainbow Arabia is making music that ultimately sounds like no one else's.
Apr 28, 2011Tiffany Preston impishly tries on accents for her FX-thinned vocals, Jamaican brogue here or a lot of Karin Dreijer Andersson wailing there, but it's the omni-directional whirl and clashing textures that consume the most.
Mar 9, 2011Boys And Diamonds is an album that takes two different roads. A journey down one avenue finds Rainbow Arabia exploring the unrefined, bespoke freedom of African rhythms, ad hoc instrumentation and unfiltered self-expression.
May 2, 2011This follow-up to their debut shows more polish and a firmer grasp on rhythm. [Apr 2011, p.106]
Mar 10, 2011What a lot of the divergent sonic explorations sum up to is an album that has a lot of ideas; perhaps more than what makes up a coherent pop record.
Mar 10, 2011Never mind the cultural appropriation bollocks, here's ethnotronic industrial pop.

STAGE TUBE: First Look - Trailer for Seth MacFarlane's TED
TED is set to be released in theaters on July 13, 2012 from Universal Pictures. The comedy marks the directorial debut of Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote, co-produced and stars in the film. The cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Joel McHale and Patrick Warburton.
In the film, Wahlberg plays John, a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear (Ted) - voiced by MacFarlane himself - remains his best friend well into his adult years. Conflict emerges when Ted's irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of John's attempt to embrace his adulthood and the woman of his dreams, Lori (Mila Kunis).
Get a first look at the trailer for the upcoming film below!

I have a function with a decorator that I'm trying test with the help of the Python Mock library. I'd like to use mock.patch to replace the real decorator with a mock 'bypass' decorator which just calls the function. What I can't figure out is how to apply the patch before the real decorator wraps the function. I've tried a few different variations on the patch target and reordering the patch and import statements, but without success. Any ideas?
Decorators are applied at function definition time. For most functions, this is when the module is loaded. (Functions that are defined in other functions have the decorator applied each time the enclosing function is called.)
So if you want to monkey-patch a decorator, what you need to do is:
If the module that contains the decorator also contains functions that use it, those are already decorated by the time you can see them, and you're basically S.O.L.
The following worked for me:
It worked like a charm.
Maybe you can apply another decorator onto the definitions of all your decorators that basically checks some configuration variable to see if testing mode is meant to be used.

Slow wins: patience, perseverance and behavior change
ABSTRACT The converging of climate disruption, energy descent and economic instability is stressing civilization, perhaps foreshadowing a downshift to a lower level of complexity. It is easy to despair at the unsustainability of human behavior; however, such despair may come from taking too narrow and pessimistic a view of human nature, such as believing unsustainability results from a motivational drive to reduce cognitive dissonance, which leaves us floundering in collective denial or that behavioral inertia is an immutable force making us unable to shift direction, or that humans are egocentric, short-term gain maximizers, consuming resources with little concern for waste, passing costs on to others and forming exclusive groups that neglect outsiders. While each is based on valid insights, the mistake is our believing that any one is the root of human nature. Such reductionism harkens, unfortunately, to an earlier period, when a then-dominant behaviorism argued that the existence of a behaviorist explanation made all other explanations irrelevant. After over a century of research, it would hardly seem necessary for us to argue in support of multiple determinants of behavior. Yet, single-determination theories abound. Their oversimplification is no more acceptable now than it was then; if indeed there is a demonstrable role for one view, this in no way eliminates the possibility that there is a role for other, and more positive, views as well. That humans can act in unsustainable ways is irrefutable. But when discussing human behavior, saying that our species' motivation is X or our behavior is to always do Y is simply wrong. There is no scientific basis for so narrow a view of human nature. The brain is more malleable and behavior more adaptive than such statements allow.

Article: Some behavioral aspects of energy descent: How a biophysical psychology might help people transition through the lean times ahead.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We may soon face biophysical limits to perpetual growth. Energy supplies may tighten and then begin a long slow descent while defensive expenditures rise to address problems caused by past resource consumption. The outcome may be significant changes in daily routines at the individual and community level. It is difficult to know when this scenario might begin to unfold but it clearly would constitute a new behavioral context, one that the behavioral sciences least attends to. Even if one posits a less dramatic scenario, people may still need to make many urgent and perhaps unsettling transitions. And while a robust response would be needed, it is not at all clear what should be the details of that response. Since it is likely that no single response will fix things everywhere, for all people or for all time, it would be useful to conduct many social experiments. Indeed, a culture of small experiments should be fostered which, at the individual and small group level, can be described as behavioral entrepreneurship. This may have begun, hidden in plain sight, but more social experiments are needed. To be of help, it may be useful to both package behavioral insights in a way that is practitioner-oriented and grounded in biophysical trends and to propose a few key questions that need attention. This paper begins the process of developing a biophysical psychology, incomplete as it is at this early stage.Frontiers in Psychology 11/2014; 5(1255).

I tried to highlight what interventions promote durable behavior change.
I've also attached some slides I use in reviewing some of the common models of behavior change.

Is there a "correct" way to walk in order to reduce the risk of injury?
DEAR DOCTOR K: I'd like to start walking more for exercise. Is there a "correct" way to walk in order to reduce the risk of injury?
DEAR READER: Walking comes so naturally to most of us that we may not even give a second thought to proper walking technique. But bad walking habits can lead to a host of problems. What could be more natural than walking? We've been doing it since we were toddlers. It is natural, but in fact a complex series of things happens when we walk. First, your heel touches the ground, absorbing the impact of your weight. As the rest of your foot reaches the ground, your weight shifts forward to the ball of your foot and your toes.

Gallery: Cycloclean Purifies Drinking Water Using Bicycle Pedal Power
Pedaling your way to clean water? You can do just that thanks to Japan's Nippon Basic Company who have introduced "Cycloclean," a durable bike equipped with a kinetic water purifier. Initially designed for disaster zones and remote villages, users can bike to virtually anywhere there is a water source, be it rivers, ponds, pools and even wells, and source their own clean water. The device is in fact powerful enough to siphon water from a depth of five meters! An innovative design, the Cycloclean could give way to life changing conditions in remote or contaminated villages around the globe.

Proteomic Technology for the Life Sciences
Our research is focused on the development and application of novel proteomic technology to facilitate biomedical research. Research projects involve mass spectrometry of proteins, peptides and other biomolecules that are relevant to biomedical questions, in particular to cancer-related diseases. We collaborate closely with other researchers around the world and within City of Hope in a truly interdisciplinary setting. Most our technology is available through the City of Hope Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics Core.
Emerging Infectious Diseases
Patients who receive transplants of hematopoietic cells or solid organs or are treated for autoimmune diseases usually receive immunosuppressive medication. Such treatment is necessary to control graft-versus-host disease, graft rejection or autoinflammatory episodes, respectively.
Unfortunately, immunosuppression also increases the risk for opportunistic infections with all classes on infectious agents, and, as a result of more advanced and aggressive modern healthcare practices, the number of immunosuppressed patients is on the rise. One of the most severe emerging infectious diseases is invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, which is a rapidly progressing and most often fatal fungus infection that commonly occurs in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.
Our research employs novel mass spectrometric technology to study the proteomes of fungal and bacterial pathogens with the goals being to develop effective vaccines and to detect infections at early stages when the response to medication and other interventions is more effective.
Discovery And Testing Of Anti-Fungal Vaccine Candidates
Pulmonary exposure to viable Aspergillus fumigatus spores protects mice (a CF-1 strain) against invasive aspergillosis when challenged under corticosteroid immunosuppression (Ito, JI and Lyons, JM, 2002, J. Infect. Dis.). Using a proteomic approach, we found that such immunized animals produce specific antibodies against the A. fumigatus protein Asp f 3, and most importantly, mice vaccinated with recombinant forms of Asp f 3 are protected. Asp f 3 is a known allergen with a described bi-partite IgE-binding epitope. The epitope can be disrupted without diminishing the protective effect of the resulting, modified recombinant Asp f 3, making it an interesting vaccine candidate for potential human use.
Sensitive detection of fungal and bacterial proteins of diagnostic potentia
The detection of low-level peptides by single-stage mass spectrometry is often impaired by a limited dynamic range and by suppression effects caused by so-called "chemical noise." Hypothesis-driven multistage mass spectrometry (HMS-MS) allows us to overcome these limitations. The detection principle is based on a search for the presence or absence of a predicted peptide in a manner analogous to the use of an antigen-specific antibody. A novel matrix assisted laser desorption / ionization (MALDI) ion trap mass spectrometer is tuned on pre-calculated masses in order to collect and fragment ions that may hypothetically be present in a particular sample. Characteristic fragmentation patterns differentiate the signal from the background noise and provide reliable evidence for the presence of the predicted peptide. The detection of hypothesized proteolytic cleavage products can reveal the presence of putative proteins in a given sample. Such a targeted approach is useful for proteomic studies, e.g., when interacting proteins need to be found within a limited pool of potential binding partners. Additionally, the method can be used to search for the presence of certain post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation. We are applying the HMS-MS methods to detect the release of fungal proteins in patient specimens for potential diagnostic use.
Detection of Microorganisms and Biodefense
Our laboratory is pursuing proteomic and molecular biological studies to improve the detection of pathogenic microorganisms. This project is performed together with collaborators and support from the Pacific Southwest Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases.
