Huron County's employment situation has improved -- at least according to state officials.
After posting the state's fifth-worst jobless rate in July, Huron County dropped 10 spots to 15, according to the most recent statistics released this week by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).
Of the 27,400 people in Huron County's estimated workforce, 2,400 -- or 8.6 percent -- were unemployed in August. That's a sharp improvement from July, when 3,000 of the 27,500 people (11 percent) in the estimated workforce were jobless.
So, according to ODJFS figures, 600 people went back to work last month in Huron County. (NOTE - A story about this subject, including comments from local officials, will be published in Friday's Norwalk Reflector.)
In June, Huron County had a 9.6 percent unemployment rate, ranking it 13th among Ohio's 88 counties. In August 2012, the county's rate checked in at 8.1 percent.
Ohio's unemployment rate was 7.3 percent in August, up from 7.2 percent in July, according to the ODJFS. Ohio's nonfarm wage and salary employment decreased 8,200 over the month, from a revised 5,208,800 in July to 5,200,600 in August.
The number of workers unemployed in Ohio in August was 419,000, up 3,000 from 416,000 in July. The number of unemployed has increased by 9,000 in the past 12 months from 410,000. The August unemployment rate for Ohio was up from 7.2 percent in August 2012.
The U.S. unemployment rate for August was 7.3 percent, down from 7.4 percent in July and from 8.1 percent in August 2012.
Among the state's 88 counties, August 2013 unemployment rates ranged from a low of 4.3 percent in Mercer County to a high of 12.0 percent in Pike County. Rates declined in 86 of the 88 counties statewide.
Six counties had unemployment rates at or below 5.5 percent in August. The counties with the lowest rates, other than Mercer were: Holmes, 4.6 percent; Delaware, 5.1 percent; Auglaize, 5.2 percent; and Geauga and Union, 5.5 percent.
Meanwhile, seven counties had unemployment rates at or above 10.0 percent in August. The counties with the highest rates, other than Pike were: Meigs, 11.8 percent; Scioto, 10.8 percent; Adams, 10.3 percent; Morgan, 10.2 percent; and Jefferson and Monroe, 10.0 percent.
Ohio's nonagricultural wage and salary employment decreased 8,200 over the month, from a revised 5,208,800 in July 2013 to 5,200,600 in August, according to the latest business establishment survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics) in cooperation with ODJFS.
Goods-producing industries, at 843,600, lost 4,700 jobs over the month. Jobs decreased in manufacturing (-2,500), construction (-2,100), and mining and logging (-100). The private service-providing sector, at 3,608,800, lost 5,600 jobs. Employment decreased in leisure and hospitality (-7,100), educational and health services (-6,300), other services (-900), and information (-500). Gains were seen in trade, transportation, and utilities (+4,900), professional and business services (+3,900), and financial activities (+400). Government employment, at 748,200, increased 2,100. Local and federal government added 2,100 and 400 jobs respectively. State government lost 400 jobs.
From August 2012 to August 2013, nonagricultural wage and salary employment grew 32,500. Goods-producing industries decreased 3,000 over the year. Construction lost 6,100 jobs. Manufacturing gained 3,100 jobs in durable goods (+2,600) and nondurable goods (+500). Mining and logging did not change. The private service-providing sector added 42,800 jobs. Gains were posted in educational and health services (+13,100), trade, transportation, and utilities (+12,200), professional and business services (+9,900), leisure and hospitality (+7,400), other services (+2,100), and financial activities (+400). Information decreased 2,300. Government lost 7,300 jobs. Losses in local (-6,500) and federal (-1,900) government exceeded gains in state government (+1,100).
All data cited are produced in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Labor. Data sources include Current Population Survey (U.S. data); Current Employment Statistics Program (nonagricultural wage and salary employment data); and Local Area Unemployment Statistics Program (Ohio unemployment rates).

Really good read....I like it, flows really well. Keep Snape true to himself. I would be interested in knowing where your other SS/HG stories are archived.
My compliments to you. I very much enjoyed this story. I loved the ending in particular (finally, a happy ending!) I hate reading a wonderfully-written story only to find that it ends in tragedy and heartbreak. Fortunately, this was just wat I was looking for.

Originally written on StraitPinkie.com | Last updated 2/19/13
Terrence Williams spent 3 years in the NBA with 3 different teams and struggled to stay out of trouble. After being cut by the Detroit Pistons during training camp, the once sought after Louisville forward had to go to China to play basketball. Williams averaged 17.9 PPG in China and rekindled his career to the point where the Boston Celtics decided to give him a chance, signing him to a 10 day deal. Williams has talent and no one around the league doubts that, it is just that his attitude problems haven't left his side. During his rookie season in the NBA, Williams played well and showed signs of being a productive NBA player. But his time ran out in New Jersey after he constantly clashed with the coaching staff and never showed up for team activities on time. During that season Williams was even sent down to the D-Leauge as punishment for his actions. Williams got a chance in both Houston and Sacramento too but was never signed for the next season. All Louisville fans know how good Williams can be but it all depends on whether he can keep his head on straight at this level. All we can do is pray that the stint in China gave Williams a reality check and it resurrected his career. If you want something cool to do on Wednesday night, T-Will and the Boston Celtics will take on Earl Clark and the Los Angeles Lakers on TNT at 10:30 P.M. EST.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 22 August 2011 10:27AM
Paul Vaughan, the Rugby Football Union's (RFU) business operations director, is the chief executive of England Rugby 2015, the organisation that is in charge of organising the Rugby World Cup in England in 2015.
Plans are already afoot to make it the biggest Rugby World Cup on record, said Vaughan, even though this year's competition in New Zealand has not yet begun.
England Rugby 2015 is the wholly owned subsidiary of the RFU.
The 2015 tournament will comprise 48 games played at a number of grounds, including Twickenham, Wembley and football stadiums such as Old Trafford and Anfield.
IMG, the sport's sponsorship giant, is handling recruiting sponsors for the event. At present, brands including Heineken, Land Rover and Société Générale have signed up for the event.
Speaking to Marketing magazine, Vaughan said it will be "the biggest" World Cup, predicting that it will generate £2bn.
His reasoning is that rugby is more popular than ever and sponsors are itching to be associated with the event.
He said: "It is not just dedicated rugby fans which will go. There are 9m people who follow the game in the UK."
Vaughan claims that organisers will be looking to attract fans from non-core rugby countries, such as Georgia, Russian, Spain, Portugal and the US.
As part of the launch of the England 2015 World Cup, a handover event is taking place on the day of this year's final, October 23, in Covent Garden, where screens will show the final, and the competition will be handed over to the UK.
One priority, according to Vaughan, is increasing the number of the World Cup's fans on its Facebook page, which currently ranks at the 1.2 million mark.

Wellograph, the First Sapphire Crystal Wellness Watch Launches!

Wellograph hopes to change that, with the first wellness watch with a sapphire crystal display and a gorgeous design.Read more

I'm doing what I'm supposed to
I'm a writer, I'm a fighter
from 50 Cent (Ft. Adam Levine & Eminem) – My Life Lyrics on Genius
Obviously, as a rap artist 50 is a writer, and he has even written screenplays.
Metaphorically, 50 is a fighter because, due to everything he grew up with, he had to fight to become the successful artist he is today. 50 also was an amateur boxer and promotes fighters today.

Multiple different credentials and/or signatures based on different credentials may be included in a header portion of a single electronic message. Different recipients of intermediary computing systems may use the different credentials/signatures to identify the signer. The electronic message may include an encoding algorithm and a type identification of a credential included in the electronic message, allowing the recipient to decode and process the credential as appropriate given the type of credential. Also, the electronic message may include a pointer that references a credential associated with a signature included in the electronic message. That referenced credential may be accessed from the same electronic message, or from some other location. The recipient may then compare the references credential from the credentials used to generate the signature. If a match occurs, the integrity of the electronic message has more likely been preserved.

No. 60/346,370 also entitled "System and Method for Security, Licensing and Naming" filed Oct. 19, 2001.
1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to electronic messaging, and more particularly, to mechanisms for allowing more flexible use of security mechanisms when communicating using electronic messages.
2. Related Technology
Computing technology has transformed the way we work and play. Modern computer networking technologies and infrastructures allow for different applications and users to communicate data electronically even over vast distances relatively quickly using readily-available computing systems. Such computing systems may include, for example, desktop computers, laptop computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), digital telephones, or the like.
Currently, computing systems are so interconnected that one computing system is literally capable of communicating with any one of many millions of other computing systems spread throughout the globe. This is useful as we are now able to communicate more readily. However, this high level of interconnectivity also exposes us to security problems. For example, often it is necessary to verify that a computing device or associated user is truly the same entity that they purport to be in a process called authentication. Also, it is often important to validate the integrity of an electronic message to be sure that the electronic message has not been compromised during transmission.
Improvements in security mechanisms are of significant benefit since breaches in security can cause much harm, financial and otherwise, to entities who rightfully desire secure electronic communications. The principles of the present invention improve security over conventional security technologies as will be described in further detail below.
The principles of the present invention relate to mechanisms for providing reliable and flexible security mechanisms when communicating using electronic messages. The electronic message may have multiple different types of credentials. The electronic message may include the encoding format and type of each of the credentials thus allowing for convenient access of the credential by either the recipient computing system, or by an intermediary computing system. The electronic message may also include multiple signatures that were each signed using a different credential. The signatures may each have a reference to a location even external to the electronic message. The recipient computing system may evaluate the external credential against the signature to determining whether tampering of the electronic message may have occurred.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the invention. The features and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. These and other features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features of the invention can be obtained, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
The principles of the present invention relate to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures that allow more secure communications of an electronic message.
Multiple different credentials and/or signatures based on different credentials may be included in a header portion of a single electronic message. These different signatures and/or credentials may be used by different recipient computing systems, by a single recipient computing system, or even by different computing systems along a routing path of the electronic message.
The electronic message may include an identification of an encoding algorithm and the type of credential included in the electronic message. Accordingly, multiple different credentials may be included that have different encoding. The recipient computing system may decode and process the credential as appropriate given the identification of the encoding algorithm and the type of credential.
Also, the electronic message may include a pointer that references a credential that is accessible to the recipient computing system, either within the same electronic message, or from some other location. The recipient computing system may then compare the referenced credentials from the credentials used to generate the signature. If a match occurs, then the data signed can be associated with the credentials. Accordingly, the integrity of any statement made in the credentials such as identity, rights, and so forth, may be verified.
Embodiments within the scope of the present invention include computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon. Such computer-readable media can be any available media which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise physical computer-readable media such as RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer.
When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a computer-readable medium. Thus, any such a connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media. Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including personal computers, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by local and remote processing devices that are linked (either by hardwired links, wireless links, or by a combination of hardwired or wireless links) through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
With reference to
The system bus 123 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 124 and random access memory (RAM) 125. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 126, containing the basic routines that help transfer information between elements within the computer 120, such as during start-up, may be stored in ROM 124.
The computer 120 may also include a magnetic hard disk drive 127 for reading from and writing to a magnetic hard disk 139, a magnetic disk drive 128 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 129, and an optical disk drive 130 for reading from or writing to removable optical disk 131 such as a CD-ROM or other optical media. The magnetic hard disk drive 127, magnetic disk drive 128, and optical disk drive 130 are connected to the system bus 123 by a hard disk drive interface 132, a magnetic disk drive-interface 133, and an optical drive interface 134, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-executable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the computer 120. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a magnetic hard disk 139, a removable magnetic disk 129 and a removable optical disk 131, other types of computer readable media for storing data can be used, including magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, RAMs, ROMs, and the like.
Program code means comprising one or more program modules may be stored on the hard disk 139, magnetic disk 129, optical disk 131, ROM 124 or RAM 125, including an operating system 135, one or more application programs 136, other program modules 137, and program data 138. A user may enter commands and information into the computer 120 through keyboard 140, pointing device 142, or other input devices (not shown), such as a microphone, joy stick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 121 through a serial port interface 46 coupled to system bus 123. Alternatively, the input devices may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, a game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 147 or another display device is also connected to system bus 123 via an interface, such as video adapter 148. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The computer 120 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computers 149 a and 149 b. Remote computers 149 a and 149 b may each be another personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically include many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 120, although only memory storage devices 150 a and 150 b and their associated application programs 136 a and 136 b have been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 120 is connected to the local network 151 through a network interface or adapter 153. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 120 may include a modem 154, a wireless link, or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 152, such as the Internet. The modem 154, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 123 via the serial port interface 146. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 120, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing communications over wide area network 152 may be used.
The method 200 includes a functional, result-oriented step for constructing an electronic message so as to provide increased security (step 210). This functional, result-oriented step may include any corresponding acts for accomplishing this result. However, in the illustrated embodiment, the step 210 includes corresponding acts 211 through 218. An example electronic message data structure is illustrated in
The method 200 includes an act of designating at least one destination address in the electronic message (act 211). The destination address corresponds to one or more recipient computing systems. Referring to
The method 300 then includes an act of including one or more security tokens in a header portion of the electronic message (act 212). The one of more security tokens may be, for example, one or more signatures. For example, the header field 310 includes a first signature 312, a possible second signature 313, and potentially other signatures 314. The first signature 312 is oval-shaped to represent that the first signature may have been signed using a corresponding credential 315, which is also represented as being oval-shaped. The second signature 313 is trapezoidal-shaped to represent that the second signature may have been signed using a different corresponding credential 316, which is also represented as being trapezoidal-shaped.
In addition to including the signatures (act 212) or other security tokens in the electronic message, the method 300 includes an act of encoding one of more credentials (act 213), and then the act of including the one or more encoded credentials in the electronic message (act 214). In some cases, the credential(s) included in the electronic message may not be encoded at all thus eliminating act 213. In other cases, a credential will not be included in the electronic message either thus eliminating act 214. For example, there may not be any cause for including a credential if there is a reference to an associated credential field described below where the credential may be external to the electronic message.
The credentials may be, for example, any item of information that helps to identify and/or authenticate the credential provider. One type of credential is a license, which contains a set of related assertions signed by an authority. Some assertions may be about keys that may be used to sign and/or encrypt messages. Example licenses include X.509 certificates and Kerberos tickets. The owner of a license is a principle entity that can use the license authoritatively. Specifically, the principle has the knowledge necessary to apply the cryptographic keys located in the attached license or licenses attached therein. In
The method 200 also includes an act of including, in the header portion, an identification of an encoding format of the credential(s) (act 215). This identification is represented in
In this example, there is an identification of the encoding format and a credential type for each of the credentials included in the electronic message, although this is not necessary. For example, in cases in which the encoding format is the same for all of the credentials in the electronic message, the encoding format may be listed in just one portion of the electronic message. Similarly, if the credential type is the same for all of the credentials in the electronic message, the credential format may just be listed once. In addition, if a particular credential has a default encoding format (and/or credential type), then the particular encoding format (and/or credential type) need not be expressly included for that credential.
Also, the identification of the encoding format and credential type are illustrated as being included in the corresponding credential field. If these fields are included in the corresponding credential field, acts 215 and 216 would occur concurrently with act 213 for that credential. However, the encoding format and type field may instead just be associated with the corresponding credential field.
The method 300 also includes an act of generating a reference indicating where a credential associated with the signature may be found (act 217), and including the reference in the header portion of the electronic message (act 218). The reference is represented in
The sending computing system then transmits the electronic message to one or more recipient computing system (act 219), which then receive the electronic message (act 220). The electronic message may contain multiple different signatures that were generated using multiple different kinds of credentials. The recipient computing system may then select one of a multiple signatures included in a header portion of the electronic message (act 221), and then reads that electronic signature from the electronic message (act 222). Accordingly, the recipient computing system may choose one, some, or all of the included signatures depending one which one the recipient computing system is configured to process and trust.
The ability of the electronic message 300 to contain multiple credentials of different types allows for several novel network security configurations. For example,
There are various combinations of each of the models of
Returning to
In one embodiment, the electronic message 300 may be a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) envelope although this is not required. The two provisional patent applications previously incorporated herein by reference provide several examples of SOAP envelopes which incorporate various aspects of the present invention. The following SOAP envelope is a code example of one specific embodiment of the data structure of the electronic message 300. The code example is represented in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) version 1.0. Line numbering has been added for clarity in explaining the structure of the code example. Although this code example shows one specific implementation, there are a vast variety of different implementations that may employ the principles of the present invention. For example, although this example illustrates the use of headers hierarchically structured in a certain way and having particular header uses, other embodiments may have a different hierarchy and usage of headers without departing from the scope of the principles of the present invention.
Line 1 defines the XML version that the SOAP envelope follows as well as the encoding format for the SOAP envelope as a whole.
Lines 2 through 80 define a SOAP envelope that includes two different credentials, two different signatures signed using the credentials, and references to the credentials for each of the signatures. Also, the encoding type and format type of each of the credentials is specified.
Lines 3 through 5 define global namespace abbreviations used throughout the SOAP envelope. It is standard practice to specify namespace abbreviation in this portion of the SOAP envelope. These namespace abbreviations correspond to a namespace that defines a standard for how particular elements to which the namespace applies are to be interpreted.
Lines 77 though 79 represent the body of the SOAP envelope and is an example of the body field 330 of
Lines 6 though 76 represent the header information for the SOAP envelope and is an example of the header field 310 of
Lines 7 through 9 express the path that the electronic message is to take. Intermediary computing systems such as intermediary computing system 411B of
Lines 10 through 25 define a unique SOAP header called "credentials". This header may include several different credential types. The encoding format and type of the credential may also be specified in this header.
For instance, lines 12 through 18 contain a binary license (see line 17) called "X509License" (see line 16), which is identified as being an X.509 certificate (see line 14), and which is identified as being encoded using base64binary encoding (see line 15). Line 14 is an example of the credential type field 319A of
Also, lines 19 through 24 contain a binary credential (see line 23) called "BinaryCredential" (see line 22), which is identified as being in a binary credential format (see line 20), and which is identified as being encoded also using base64binary encoding (see line 21). Line 20 is an example of the credential type field 319B of
Lines 26 through 75 define an "integrity" header that contains two signatures, each having a reference location to find a corresponding credential that may be used to verify the integrity of the electronic message (i.e., that the electronic message was sent by the signer of the signature, and that the electronic message has not been altered in transit).
In particular, a first signature element is referenced from lines 27 through 50, with the second signature element being referenced from lines 51 through 74. Each signature element follows the schema defined by XML digital signature in accordance with the "http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" namespace. However, that KeyInfo child element within each XML digital signature includes a "LicenseLocation" element that references the location of a license (or other credential) that may be used to verify the integrity of the electronic message.
The first signature element includes a "SignedInfo" element from lines 28 through 43 which defines canonicalization methods, digest algorithms, and various transforms that apply to the signature. The first signature value is included at line 45 and is an example of the first signature field 312 of
The second signature element is similar to the first signature element except that the second signature value is at line 69 and represents an example of second signature field 313 of
Accordingly, the principles of the present invention allow for the communication of multiple different credentials in a single electronic message. In addition, the reference to an associated credential allows for the integrity of electronic messages to be verified.
In the above code example, there are two different credentials included in the electronic message, a binary license and a binary credential. These credential types may be abstractly structured in an inheritance tree. A hierarchically-structured credential semantics inheritance tree that includes these credential types is illustrates as tree 500 in
The tree 500 includes an abstract credential data type 501 at its base. The abstract credential is structured in accordance with a schema 501A and has handling rules 501B. The schema 501A describes the basic structure of the abstract credential data type. The handling rules 501B describe how to handle the abstract credential.
One of the first-tier branches of the tree 500 is an abstract license data type 511, which includes an extended schema 511A and extended handling rules 511B. The schema and the handling rules from parent nodes in the tree 500 may be inherited by the child nodes. In other words, the schema 511A of the abstract license may reflect the schema 501A of the abstract credential with some specified extensions. Also, the handling rules 511B may represent further handling rules in addition to the handling rules 501B specified at the abstract credential data type.
Another of the first-tier branches of the tree 500 is a binary credential data type 512 that includes schema 512A and handling rules 512B. A second tier-branch of the tree includes binary license 521 having schema 521A and handling rules 521B. The tree 500 may be further expanded by defining a schema that extends on the schema of a parent node, and/or by defining further handling rules in addition to those provided for a parent node.
When determining how to structure a binary license for example, the source computing system would use the schema 521A. If the schema 521A represented incremental structural changes rather than a complete structural definition, the source computing system may also consult the schema of ancestral data types 511 and 501 to determine the final structural form of the binary license. When receiving a binary license, the recipient computing system may use the schema 521A to determine how to parse the binary license, along with the handling rules 521B to determine how to treat the binary license in terms of how to process the binary license and what authorities to grant in response to the binary license. The handling rules 521B may represent incremental handling rules in which case the ancestral handling rules 511B and 501B may also be consulted to determine proper handling. The tree 500 may be stored at both the source computing system and the recipient computing system so as to ensure consistent treatment of credentials.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

Naples neighbourhood
Hi everyone. My husband and I will be in Naples for four nights in September. I feel like I need some advice on which would be the best neighbourhood(s) for us to stay in. We're in our late 20s and have traveled extensively in Italy and Europe, but never been to Naples. I'm not paranoid, but I am aware of Naples' reputation, so would like to stay in a neighbourhood where I feel safe. From what I gather, I shouldn't stay around the train station, and maybe not even in the Centro Storico? We will be visiting the Archeological Museum, and will be taking a day trip to Mt. Vesuvius. We will probably also go to Pompeii again. Thanks in advance!

Hope I did this well enough this time that the attachments post . Anyway... got some work done during a recent layoff from a factory job and did a small round of submissions to the big name animation studio's (from whom I'm taking my cues towards putting the portfolio together). I'm disapointed to not be working yet but a couple of "We'll keep you on file" letters from a couple of big name places is encouraging.
I see my share of crits now that I've come back to this stuff after a little while but I am braced for C&C. Also any industry perspective or thoughts would be cool. Hope these are worth checking out. Thanks, -Bill

Nice work, I really like the style and colours, the illustrations comes across really well and have a cool retro feel. I especially like the last few.
Maybe you could try and put a bit more subtlety into the shading of the large dark areas as the small patches are a bit distracting.
Otherwise I think its great

MnM & Conundrum, thanks you guys for the replies... for a minute there I was afraid I was gonna get shut out.
Conundrum, those flattened out dark spots are a byproduct of not pushing the values far enough in the actual drawing. In trying to get some contrast through photoshop I lost the hatching in the dark areas. They'll be better next time as I figure this stuff out. Thanks for the crit, I do appreciate it.

Who had the authority to rename the Border War?
The athletic directors at Kansas University (Lew Perkins) and the University of Missouri (Mike Alden) decided to change the official name of the schools' rivalry to the Border Showdown from the Border War in October. Perkins and Alden said using the word "war" wasn't appropriate for sporting events, especially considering the ongoing situation with U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Peppered Moth
Margaret Drabble Viking, 392pp, £16.99
The Peppered Moth
Margaret Drabble Viking, 392pp, £16.99
by Katie Owen Published
"I wrote this book to try to understand my mother better," explains Margaret Drabble in the afterword to The Peppered Moth. Put more strongly, this book represents the end point of a pathology that is traceable throughout Drabble's long and distinguished career as a novelist. Mothers - like Bessie Bawtrey, this book's anti-heroine - have played significant minor roles in Drabble's earlier works. The mixture of guilt and resentment felt by their daughters finds its apogee in The Peppered Moth, in which Drabble puts her own mother on a pin: a specimen for examination.
Drabble's career has taken her a long way from her popular 1960s novels - A Summer Bird-Cage, The Millstone and The Garrick Year - which focused with unerring realism on the experiences of university- educated women juggling domesticity with self-fulfilment. Her overreaching ambition to portray the whole of British society, particularly in her 1980s trilogy of The Radiant Way, A Natural Curiosity and The Gates of Ivory, lost her many admirers. The Peppered Moth shows both an exaggeration of the tendencies that marred those state-of-the-nation novels - playing with form, using character as type - and a return to a concern with individual lives.
Born in the South Yorkshire mining town of Breaseborough (actually Mexborough), Bessie (actually Kathleen Marie Bloor), a girl both clever and pretty, has "great expectations". Chafing against her working-class background and her silent, unaffectionate parents, she yearns to escape the grimy north and seems on the path to succeed when she wins a scholarship to Cambridge. However, fatal character flaws turn this once "promising" young woman into an embittered, agrophobic housewife who acts on her husband and children like a dead weight. As her daughter, Chrissie,puts it, she is "a real bloodsucker as well as a shrew".
Bessie longs for escape - as do, in turn, her daughter and granddaughter. Their imperative is to escape the doom of Bessie's genetic inheritance. What are their chances of redemption? Chrissie's brief marriage, straight after university, is a disaster, even if it offers her a chance to dilute the gene pool.
Chrissie's daughter, Faro, on whom all hopes for the future rest, is an unintentionally grotesque figure; we are insistently reminded of her youth and vigour. Over-neatly, she is a magazine journalist interested in Darwinism (of which the peppered moth is a famous example). Unlike Bessie, Faro seems a concoction; and, as far as it concerns Faro, the plot also feels confected. The least convincing parts here relate to her romance with another character who functions as symbol rather than personality: an amateur geologist called Steve. Together, we are informed, they are "children of the present". Oh yeah.
Drabble's early novels were told in the first person, with sympathetic protagonists inspiring a sense of intimacy in the reader. However, since the late 1970s, Drabble has adopted a 19th-century approach to storytelling. Her authorial voice is arch and intrusive, stage-directing characters and commentating on their motivations in a way that seems unpleasantly superior.
In the early part of The Peppered Moth, this narrative voice is at its most grating, made turgid by the rhetorical questions to which Drabble is compulsively prone, and by her pronouncements on the nature of social change. The heavy, deliberate rhythm of her prose has a claustrophobic effect. This may be appropriate to the "slow past" she describes, but it makes for hard reading.
Still, there are things to enjoy. Drabble's excavation of life in the north from the 1920s to the 1940s is rich in social and domestic detail. Bessie's exploited sister, Dora - who never leaves her home town or, indeed, her cottage, which is crammed with bits and pieces saved over the years - is a lovingly drawn and poignant character.
But, in the end, The Peppered Moth is a broken-backed book, an uneasy blend of fact and fiction. Drabble's afterword affirms that Bessie is an accurate portrayal of her mother, but that the later parts of the book are "entirely fictitious". She has "excised" her sister, Antonia Byatt - whose objections to this enterprise are well known - replacing her with a shadowy and unreal brother. Drabble has insisted, too, that Chrissie is "not me at all", which raises troubling questions about the ethics of exposing her mother yet protecting herself.
This seems particularly unfair because Drabble's portrait of Bessie amounts to little more than a brutal character assassination. There are moments when one hears, above the generalising narrative, a note of true despair and pity about her mother's "wasted" life. But bitterness and violent dislike are the deepest emotions conveyed by this distressing book.
