The mixed oxide fuel fabrication facility, currently under construction at the Savannah River Site, is under renewed criticism from Washington, with allegation that the project's cost and environmental impact are far greater than expected.
The latest query comes from Congressman Edward Markey (D-Mass), a senior member of the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee, who describes the project as "a disaster."
"The government's plutonium plan is a pluperfect disaster," said Rep. Markey. "It is over budget, riddled with delays and problems and is producing a product that no one wants. And all to produce $2 billion worth of reactor fuel at a cost of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars and damage to our global non-proliferation efforts."
The facility, originally estimated to cost $4.8 billion, is designed to dispose of 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium. The facility will blend the plutonium with uranium to make reactor fuel for power plants. As part of a non-proliferation agreement with the Russian Federation, the process will leave the plutonium in a form unsuitable for weapons.
Markey, a longtime opponent of the facility, spoke on Monday after he wrote a letter to Energy Secretary Stephen Chu criticizing the program, its cost and the fact that the end-product has no buyer. Markey also asked for answers to 26 questions relating to the project to be answered by Feb. 15.
The project "may be both wasting taxpayer dollars and ultimately failing to reduce our stores of surplus weapons-grade plutonium," Markey wrote.
In his letter, he cited newspaper and industry publication reports that estimate construction costs may be $2 billion over the initial $4.8 billion cost. He also slatted the project for not having any consumers lined up for the facility that is projected to start running in 2016.
"With respect to Representative Markey's concerns regarding finding a buyer for the fuel, utility companies do not announce future business decisions publicly years in advance," said Caroline Delleney, communication director for Congressman Joe Wilson (R-S.C.). "Great progress has been made in locating potential customers, and (Wilson) is supremely confident that there will be multiple buyers for MOX fuel."
Wilson, a supporter of the project, took issue with his colleagues assessment of MOX fuel and the MFFF.
"Congressman Wilson believes the MOX project at SRS is an essential national security program which is over 50 percent completed," said Delleney. "This program serves a vital purpose, as it will allow the United States to honor its international nuclear nonproliferation obligations with Russia. Once operational, the facility will begin to disposition 34 metric tons of weapons grade plutonium, approximately 17,000 nuclear weapons, into fuel for commercial nuclear reactors."

Mack: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac uneven, but worthwhileWritten by Jason Mack | | email@example.com
Various artists, "Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac"
With so many hits and lesser-known gems, Fleetwood Mac is the perfect candidate for a cover album. Few of the artists featured are recognizable, but there is a good blend of unique takes and direct covers in the compilation.
The Lee Ranaldo Band opens the album with the instrumental track "Albatross." The peaceful, bluesy cover is an interesting way to kick off the album but might work better as a closer.
British singer Antony was smart to do a straightforward take on "Landslide." He sounds more like Tracy Chapman than Stevie Nicks, but it works. It doesn't come close to the original, but no cover of "Landslide" ever will.
The great thing about this album is it got me listening to Fleetwood Mac songs I never heard before. The best example is Trixie Whitley's Led Zeppelin-esque cover of "Before the Beginning." It's the best song on the album with an early '70s trippy rock feel, strong vocals and smooth guitar riffs. I only knew a handful of the artists featured on the album going in, but I plan to get to know a few more of them now with Whitley at the top of the list.
Best Coast's upbeat cover of "Rhiannon" sounds like it belongs on a CD for kids. It completely misses the point of the song and is a low point of this album. The vocals are reminiscent of Nicks, but the music is far from Fleetwood Mac.
Karen Elson, former wife of rocker Jack White, also sounds just like Nicks but with much better results on her cover of "Gold Dust Woman." It's dangerous to stick so exactly to the original when doing a cover, but Elson's vocals are solid enough to make it worth a listen.
MGMT went in the exact opposite direction, using a heavily synthesized and electronic sound in their cover of "Future Games." The background music is cool, but the robot singing ruins the track. This would have been an amazing and imaginative cover if they had used regular vocals. More than nine minutes of the robot voice is too much to handle.
With 19 songs, you're going to have some hits and misses. The ratio is nearly split down the middle, but the hits are good enough to make the album worth a listen for any Fleetwood Mac fans.
**1/2 out of 5

Jonathan Ive rumored to be working on new Mail, Calendar apps for future versions of iOS
We've already heard from multiple sources that Apple's vice president of design, Jony Ive, has been working on making iOS flatter and more refined, but now he's also rumored to be working on brand new Mail and Calendar apps as well. It's not clear right now whether a complete revamp of such core personal information management software would be ready in time for iOS 7 this year, or for iOS 8 next year, but the focus sounds interesting. According to Bloomberg:
Ive, 46, has begun revamping iPhone and iPad applications, shunning realistic images, such as wood bookshelves for the Newsstand feature, and he's exploring more dramatic changes to the e-mail and calendar tools, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private.
More than just re-skins, as the changes in system-wide interface design seems to be at this point, Ive is also said to be re-thinking software usability, the way he's traditionally rethought hardware.
Software design involves the graphical style of images on the screen, as well as the deeper experience of how a user progresses through a given task, such as the steps needed for deleting an e-mail or entering a calendar item.
While there have been incremental changes over the years, including unified inbox, VIP inbox, threaded messages, week view, etc. Mail and Calendar's core interfaces are the same as when they were introduced back in 2007. Since then, different takes on the concept, including apps like Mailbox, Gmail, Fantastical, Horizon Calendar and more, have gained tremendous popularity. So much so, many have expressed a desire for the ability to switch default status away from Apple's built-in apps and to third party apps. Obviously, for Apple, that's less than ideal. Hopefully this means they not only know it, but they're actively working on leaping it forward again.
We should see more at WWDC 2013. What would you expect in a next-generation Mail and Calendar app from Jony Ive?

Jonathan Ive rumored to be working on new Mail, Calendar apps for future versions of iOS
Maybe Ive will allow us to swipe left and right between messages. Maybe he'll even steal some cues from the Facebook App and Blackberry 10--a hub of messages. How futuristic!
Maybe Ive will accelerate Apple past the point of playing catch up. I, however, unfortunately will not wait. I must have the Blackberry Q10.
You can't get rid of skeuomorphism, but you can simmer down the realism. The calculator application on Android is as skeuomorph as the iOS calculator. Same with the calendar. A common misconception is that skeuomorphism means something is realistic looking. That's not correct. Skeuomorphism means that something is supposed to act or resemble something in the real world. A calculator on a smartphone (or desktop) acts just like a calculator you hold in your hand, but it doesn't look like a REAL calculator, even though it functions like a calculator and resembles a calculator-like object. Ive can flatten iOS and it would still be as skeuomorphic as it currently is. Personally -- I would be thrilled if they got rid of the "realism" because it's very stale and -- honestly -- a little over the top for a digital product.
It's been almost 7 years since the original iPhone was introduced; it's pretty sad that Apple's apps have not improved. Third party apps have unfortunately become the default apps instead of Apple's. Thank goodness someone who knows what they are doing is now in charge of making Apple's apps "cool" once again. Go Sir Ive!!
yes but that is the beauty of the app store is not for Apple's default apps to be the only things you need on the phone. I understand that without being able to switch which apps are used by default it is kind of stupid to have better apps that will do the job. However having the better apps is what the app store is there for to provide users alternatives to apps and features that Apple wont make or provide.
Nothing personal but the headline is ridiculous.
Somehow Jony Ive has gone from just a guy having general oversight of the UI design process to actually *writing* the Mail and Calendar Apps himself? I don't believe it, but that's what your headline says.
Jony Ive will now *personally* create all the software for us? Balderdash!
He has a larger role then just a "general oversight" of the UI. Just because you may not code something doesn't mean you can't create it. If he laying out a redesign of how these applications function, then all a software developer is doing is putting his directions into code. I don't think the headline gave any indication he was actually doing the coding on this one but if he says something should change, then it will get updated to reflect his idea.
What they should do with these apps has little to do with the design, and that is break them out of the OS proper, so they can be updated independently instead of on lockstep with a full iOS release. It would give them less to talk about on stage at iOS events, (which is likely why they will not do it) but it would give Apple a lot more freedom to improve these apps. Such a formal division would also be a necessary step to allowing user-selectable default apps, something a segment of users want, but which probably will never be on Apple's radar.
Being able to create an event or a reminder from an email is essential to me keeping an empty and stress free inbox. When I open an email, it must leave my inbox, either archived or deleted, or transformed into a reminder or an event. That's true email management, not the procrastination enablement features of other mail apps where the email just keeps popping back into my inbox. That's not helpful to me. I want emails actually gone from my inbox after I open them. That would be an awesome Mail app.
I just wish Apple had done something with Sparrow when they had the chance. Such an elegant email experience that Google now owns.
I would venture to say that Ive is going to add some webOS elements to the OS....I would. The navigation inside apps/between apps is what needs to be addressed.
iOS is so long in the tooth it's starting to feel like BlackBerry OS5 or OS6.....and that's not a compliment.

Teacher turnover rates rising
As salaries were frozen for yet another year, teacher turnover in North Carolina last year was the highest it has been in at least five years according to a recently released report. And in most local counties, teachers left at an even higher rate than the state average.
The average school district in the state saw 14.4 percent of its teachers leave between March 2012 and March 2013 — a rate which the State Board of Education, in the draft of a report to be sent to the N.C. General Assembly, calls "a significant increase" from the 2011-12 rate of 12.1 percent.
Public schools in Lee (15.3 percent), Harnett (17.9 percent) and Moore (14.5 percent) counties all registered higher turnover than the state average; Chatham County (13.3 percent) had lower-than-average turnover.
"Teachers across the state, and in Lee County, left the profession for higher paying careers in sales, personal services, and the tourism industry," said Glenda Jones, human resources director for Lee County Schools and president of the Personnel Administrators of North Carolina.
She also said that Lee County specifically had some trouble keeping teachers because of the way salaries are structured — the state gives a base salary, and local districts are allowed to supplement that.
Both she and Lee County Schools Superintendent Andy Bryan said Lee County lost some educators to districts with higher pay.
"We have to compete against some other places, even in North Carolina, that have higher supplements than us," Bryan said, adding that in order to combat that issue, "we really try to highlight what we think are our strengths."
Those strengths, he said, include both the welcoming atmosphere in local schools that principals try to create, as well as the community in general. Bryan himself moved here with his wife and sons from Rockbridge County, Va. in 2006 to take over as second-in-command, and later as leader, of the district. He said he quickly fell in love with Lee County, and that he's not alone in doing so.
"For teachers who have a family who may want to move here, I think it's a really good place to live," Bryan said.
In addition to the local community, there's also statewide attitudes and realities to account for. And lately, many individual teachers, as well as organized education groups, have been outspoken in their anger with the Republican-led government in Raleigh.
Jones didn't address politics directly, but she said the lack of raises from the state — which has stretched over periods when both Democrats and Republicans were in charge — has hurt the fight against rising turnover rates. Lee County teacher turnover rose from 11.2 percent in 2011-12 to 15.3 percent in 2012-13.
"Retention is easier when our legislators are in a position to provide salary and benefits that are comparable to surrounding states," Jones said.
Bryan said the district always tries to keep teachers from leaving — and tries to fill vacancies with the best possible candidates — for the students' sake.
"Of course we want to retain and attract the very best teachers, and certainly when you lose a very good teacher who has been with your system for a while, or even just a few years, it does have an effect," he said.
Twenty vacant teaching positions in Lee County are now listed online, mostly for elementary or exceptional education jobs. There are 20 other positions also vacant, including teaching assistants and office support staff. Jones said that in spite of the low supplement Lee County can offer in trying to fill vacancies, the district does have other strengths.
"Recruiting teachers to Lee County is relatively easy because of the strong support network in place for beginning teachers," she said. "This network includes a three-year induction program with district- and school-based mentors, administrators and peers with tremendous resources, and a business community that offers support via incentives and discounts."
Bryan also said the relatively small size of Lee County Schools also makes for a more personable atmosphere.
"We're doing a lot for our new teachers," he said. "I met with a lot of them at the start of the year, and I've met with all our teachers in faculty meetings to seek their input and ask what we can do to make it the best for them."

Can we somewhere post the rules, scoring, etc?
Can we somewhere post the rules, scoring, etc?
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Out of curiosity for those that have a better understanding of the forum, what is the percentage of "actual contributors" (your definition) that participates in this? I've been here since 2006, and I've never done it. Have nothing against it, it's all about guessing what will happen based on everything you've seen in the past, but how many actually do it?
Leben 'em dead and maimed
Pick winner of fight-1 point
Pick way of victory- 2 point
Pick round- 2 point
Fight of the night-4 points
KO of the night-4points
Sub of the night-4points
TKO and KO will be counted as one. UD and SD will be counted as one
Standings based on points.
If a fight is changed and you don't change your pick you will stick with your pick. Example, fighter withdraws with injury and is replaced and you have the injured fighter picked you lose.
In order to get points for round and method of victory you must get pick the winner of fight. Example, you pick Randy to TKO Brock in the second round. Brock TKOs Randy in the second, you get 0 points.
Picking will stop once the event starts. Late picks will be accepted as long as the fight has not yet started. If you submit a pick for a fight that has already started, it will not count. Any edits done after an event starts will cause you to forfeit all picks.
Your lowest two scores or two missed events will be dropped at the end of the year when the final scores are posted.
*How does that look? Any concerns on those rules by anyone?
For example, if the season was 10 fight cards long and at the end of the year, your scores were as follows:
20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 22, 22, 22, 12, 0 (missed event)
You could drop your 12 and 0.
Everyone drops their lowest two scores or two missed events.
Thanks Cat. Hopefully they get stickied somewhere.

Art in Bloom exhibits will fill TMA with flowersWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Flowers will soon fill Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) for Art in Bloom, a four-day celebration set to coincide with Mother's Day weekend.
Art in Bloom will consist of two free exhibits. One, to be displayed in the main museum, will feature floral arrangements inspired by pieces from TMA's art collection. The other, to be displayed in the Glass Pavilion, will feature floral arrangements displayed in glass vessels designed by local florists and created by TMA's glass artists.
TMA curators and ambassadors developed a list of 45 TMA pieces for 23 local florists and garden club members to select from to use as inspiration when designing their floral arrangements, said Elizabeth Emmert, co-chair of the event with Cindy Rimmelin. Both are past presidents of the Toledo Museum of Art Museum Ambassadors, which organized the weekend events, and have been planning the event for the past year.
"I think [visitors will like] seeing the way each arranger has interpreted the art works and the different flowers they've used," Emmert said. "I visited an Art in Bloom at the Carnegie Museum last spring and was just stunned by the way they could re-create what a painting looks like, particularly with the colors in the abstract paintings."
The pieces on the list were diverse, ranging from paintings, sculptures, Egyptian coffins and chandeliers, Emmert said.
"I think everyone's so excited for something light and spring-like after that winter," Emmert said.
"It will be a fun way to look at some of the museum collection in a very different way. It's a totally different way of looking at art."
Art in Bloom events have been part of fundraising efforts for museums across the country for decades. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has held the event for more than 35 years. But the addition of glass vessels designed by florists is unique to Toledo, Emmert said.
"Brian Kennedy thought it would be great to represent the fact that Toledo has a history in glass and that's why we have a special twist to it that I don't think any other Art in Bloom has," Emmert said.
"Glass is an essential part of our legacy, and it's a medium we continue to explore in new ways," Kennedy said in a news release. "Introducing the vessel as an equal part of the floral arrangement will be a unique visual opportunity."
The vessels, which range from classic to abstract, will be displayed throughout the Glass Pavilion.
"They are just fantastic. They are very different. I wasn't sure quite what to expect but each one is quite unique," Emmert said. "Each florist came in and had half a day to work with our glass artists."
Angel Elden, owner of Angel 101 in Perrysburg, is one of the 12 area florists who designed a glass vessel with the help of TMA Glass Studio Manager Jeff Mack.
"Mine is a very unusual freeform piece," Elden said. "Besides the top, there's actually a second hole off to the side where I'm going to have some additional blooms."
Elden said she brought some inspiration with her, but didn't go in with a fully preplanned color or pattern.
"I walked through the Glass Pavilion and picked out a couple of artists — Dale Chihuly, Marvin Lipofsky — who are very freeform, organic," Elden said. "I also took pieces of interest to me — a piece of moss, a tulip bulb, a really cool twisted branch. These to me are cool and organic and, just like in the spring, you never know what you're going to get out of the ground. Really fresh and new. That's what I wanted to do."
It's the same method Elden plans to use when arranging flowers in the vessel.
"I have some things picked out and somewhat of a concept, but again I want to do it very free-form. Sometimes you think you're going to go one way but then you stop and say, 'No, I love this,'" Elden said. "I'm anxious to see it all come together."
Both sets of arrangements will be on display starting May 8. Free, hour-long floral exhibition tours will be offered at 1 p.m. May 9, 11 a.m. and noon May 10 and 1 and 2 p.m. May 11. Tours begin on the lower level of the main museum near the Matisse mural.
The glass vessels will be auctioned off during a live auction at the Tuileries Jubilee Gala, set for 6:30-10 p.m. May 8, but will remain on display at the museum through May 11. The gala will offer heavy grazing, live entertainment and a silent auction. Cost is $125 for museum members and $150 for nonmembers.
James Farmer
Author, interior designer and Southern Living editor-at-large James Farmer will make his first visit to Toledo as part of the Art in Bloom weekend celebration.
A lecture and demonstration is set for 10 a.m. May 9 at the main museum. Cost is $30. A luncheon, set for noon May 9 and featuring French-inspired cuisine, is $30. Advance reservations are required. Farmer will also offer a spring wreath workshop 2-4 p.m. May 9. Cost is $90 and space is limited.
"I'll be talking about my background, growing up in a small southern town," said Farmer during a recent phone interview. "Family recipes, gardening on the farm, some fun parts to growing up that brought me to where I am today.
"I always hope people are educated but entertained as well," Farmer said. "I hope they learn something they can take home and enrich their lives, but I hope to entertain as well."
Farmer's main influence was his grandmother, who taught him how to cook and instilled in him an appreciation of the garden-to-table lifestyle.
His newest book, "Dinner on the Ground: Southern Suppers and Soirees," a cookbook featuring events, recipes and stories, is set to be published this spring.
"It's my life set in menu form," said Farmer, who was born and raised in Georgia. "You can cook a whole meal or just one dish. It's full of fresh, local ingredients and it's southern-inspired."
Wreath workshop attendees will be making a wreath of dried flowers from one of Farmer's books, "Wreaths for All Seasons."
"These workshops are a lot of fun because you really get an opportunity to work hand in hand with people and give them a little bit of instruction and just get to know them a little bit," Farmer said.
Farmer has been editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine for about three years. His family was featured in the Thanksgiving issue and the current issue features his idea for a hanging basket using a pulley system.
"It gives me a great outlet when I have fun ideas to share," Farmer said.
When decorating for spring, Farmer suggested looking outside for inspiration and bringing the outdoors in. But first — spring cleaning.
"It's a little bit of a cliche, but spring cleaning does a lot for design," Farmer said. "We kind of hibernate and nest all winter so you want to put up those heavy blankets and sweaters and any reminder of winter and then look outside for inspiration. Bring something from the outside in."
Other TMA events
Other events at TMA over Mother's Day weekend include a Mother's Day brunch in the Glass Pavilion with seatings at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. May 11. Cost is $35 for adults, $17.50 for ages 3-11 and free for ages 2 and younger. Cuisine will be French-themed and there will be live music, a family photo and a cash bar. Advance reservations are required.
There will also be flower-themed activities for children age 10 and younger in the Family Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 8, 3:30-8 p.m. May 9 and noon to 5 p.m. May 11.
Proceeds from the ticketed events support TMA art education programs. Some events may be sold out. Call TMA at (419) 255-8000 ext. 7469 to check availability.
Admission to TMA, 2445 Monroe St., is free. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday and closed Monday and major holidays.
May 11 is also the final day for the exhibit, "The Art of the Louvre's Tuileries Garden."

Award Night Success!

Summerville will have its own startup incubator this October but it will need help from local entrepreneurs to fulfill its mission.
Harbor Entrepreneur Center has announced plans to open a site at 402 N. Main St. in Summerville. The center currently operates out of Mount Pleasant, and this would be the first of a few additional centers the center plans to open around the Charleston area, according to Director John Osborne.
We know entrepreneurs dont just live in Mount Pleasant and they also dont have to show up anywhere they dont want to, Osborne said. We knew the geography of the area wouldnt lend itself to one single center. We knew if we had landing zones and these sites spread across the region we would be able to draw more of them out and then we could connect the sites to each other.
The incubator seeks to link entrepreneurs together to bolster the business climate and provide support for startups. There is no membership fee, but some activities have a cost.
The center is very simple. We have one core mission and that is to create a coalition among entrepreneurs, Osborne said.
Most entrepreneurs are not involved in just one business. They create them, they start them, they get them going, but then theyre off to another project. And so what we know is, if we get entrepreneurs playing at a high level with other capable people, more often theyre going to create more businesses in the region that otherwise wouldnt happen.
Right now, as the center awaits opening in October, Osborne said hes looking for entrepreneurs to volunteer their time to help startups.
The biggest thing we need to do in Summerville to get going is connect with the entrepreneurs who have built companies from the ground up to 20-employee operations in the Summerville area, Osborne said. As soon as we have a critical mass of entrepreneurs we can open up different programing for startup companies in Summerville.
Critical mass would be 15 committed business owners, he added.
The incubator will also offer co-working space for startup companies and remote workers. Cost for leasing space will be $275 per month, and lessees can operate out of any of the Harbors sites.

On friday I just had a horrible experience. It has taken me this long to even be able to write about it. My husband had called me and asked if after work I could meet him at his mother's house because the whole family was there, all six kids, their spouses and kids, and they wanted to do a family portrait. I was cool with it, didn't even think about it. My one sad thougth was that our little bird would not be able to be in the picture. Then when I was about 5 minutes from home IT HIT ME!!!!!!!! I didn't have a baby for the family portrait. I would never have a family portrait taken with Mary Rose.
I called my husband sobbing hysterically that I could not get my picture taken without Mary Rose.
My husband met me at the house and I had a good cry. We then went and met the family for dinner at our favorite restaurant and his mother came up and hugged me and whispered in my ear "You are loved."
It was just the sweetest thing and almost made me cry again.
"Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were a minute old, I would have died for you. This is the miracle of life. " -Maureen Hawkins

Trident United Way has a new board chairman.
Todd Gallati, CEO at Trident Health System, has had a passion for impacting his community through United Way since the early days of his career, when he served as a loaned executive at the United Way of North Central Florida in 1989. He continued his involvement, eventually becoming a board member in 1997 and then served as board president at the United Way of Northwest Florida in 2005.
Gallati now takes the reins as 2014 Board Chair of Trident United Way, the organization announced earlier this week.
With his involvement in other United Ways around the southeast, Gallati brings broad experience to his new leadership position.
During his time as TUW Board Chair, Gallati will take the organization through its first year of implementing a new strategic plan that is aimed at strengthening TUWs role as the communitys catalyst for community change.
Im honored and committed to helping TUW lead the community effort to reach its Bold Community Goals of an 88 percent graduation rate, 30 percent more people who are financially stable and 25 percent more people living healthy by 2020, Gallati said.
TUW works to strengthen the community by focusing on education, financial stability and health, the building blocks for a good life. It mobilizes many partners to work together to solve complex problems in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties.
Gallati is in his sixth year at Trident Health System. He served as CEO at Gulf Coast Medical Center in Panama City, Fla for eight years prior to that. He has also been involved in other non-profit agencies including the American Cancer Society.

Reset cn=Directory Manager password
From Brandonhutchinson.com
I used the following procedure to reset a lost/forgotten cn=Directory Manager password on a Sun DSEE 6.3 LDAP server.
In this example, Sun DSEE 6.3 is installed in /opt/SUNWdsee with a directory server instance in /var/ds.
- Stop the directory server instance. (I don't know if the password can be changed to a running directory server.)
# dsadm stop /var/ds
- Generate the SSHA password hash. Sun DSEE 6.3 does not include/create getpwenc, a shell script front-end to pwdhash, but it does include the pwdhash utility needed to generate SSHA hashes.
$ /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/pwdhash usage: /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/pwdhash -D instance-dir [-H] [-s scheme | -c comparepwd ] password... $ /opt/SUNWdsee/ds6/bin/pwdhash -D /var/ds -s SSHA password {SSHA}sdhtz2s3JqaETqrkRxhWvrPTNCbec4o7y1o3OA==
- Change the nsslapd-rootpw line in config/dse.ldif to use the SSHA hash generated above.
# vi /var/ds/config/dse.ldif
- Start the directory server instance.
# dsadm start /var/ds

if the home button is really a rectangle samsung should sue for it looking too much like the galaxy s
Alleged iPhone 5 screen protector shows a larger screen and home button
Unwire.HK has uncovered a few pictures today that are supposedly from a screen protector for the upcoming iPhone 5. The screen protector, if real, shows an elongated opening for the home button as well as a much larger screen size for the new iPhone model compared to the current iPhone 4.
We have seen quite a few case leaks recently which supposedly showed the rear of the iPhone 5 and a few months back there was an alleged iPhone 5 case which does appear to match up with this screen protector. It also showed an elongated opening for the home button which may be for a capacitive touch area rather than a physical button.
The screen size also appears to be larger when compared with an iPhone 4. It is believed however that all of these case and screen protector leaks are based on one particular source of design information; so they may all be wrong or of course, they may all be right. Until Apple announces the iPhone 5, we will just have to wait and see!
UPDATE: This post was originally published with the watermarks removed from the original images. That's simply not how TiPb does business. We'll figure out how it happened and make sure it doesn't happen again. Our apologies to Unwire.hk, we deeply regret the error. (Thanks to stupidapplerumors.com for the head's up!)

Alleged iPhone 5 screen protector shows a larger screen and home button
The idea of a capacitive home button doesn't sit well with me. For one if your iPhone freezes and you need to soft reset a capacitive button may not recognize the touch. Or what about the accidental touch oops hit home now I gotta reopen the app again. When I play games in landscape my thumb rests on the home button. I hope they don't put a capacitive home button I personally would rather have a physical button.
No story really As Apple would never give any heads up about their next iPhone to a company making screen protectors.
I have an iphone 4 and the screen protector uses the same opening for the speaker and camera. just saying....
iPhone hey stupid, this is a Samsung Galaxy S II screen protector!
I was thinking the same. it does look similar to a galaxy s 2 screen. but the button home button on a galaxy s 2 isnt that big. so we will see how it goes.
You might be right about this assumption on the receiver opening. As you can see, it is off-centered towards the left where the front-facing camera will be located.... Just sayin :-)
My thoughts exactly.
Some screen protectors are better than others. ;) Do you really need a hole cut for the front cam? I believe there are several iPhone 4 glass protector products that cover both the front and back cams. So who knows.
Man, if this mythical larger screen iPhone device doesn't ship, I'd love to hear the story on how this came about. Was it Apple misinformation to burn accessory makers? To find a leak?
The entire Android phone/ecosystem is a COPY of the iPhone. Google jumped the shark when they decided to go into the phone business.
yes because there was no phones before the iphone
If it is that big, it will probably be a fingerprint reader or something. I doubt Apple would make that huge of a hardware jump if it wasn't for a good reason.
If it's a capacitive area, then why the hole? Doesn't make sense. The screen is capacitive as well and works fine with the protector, so a "touch" home button shouldn't need no holes. Nobody else noticed this?

My Beliefs
"As I've traveled all over the world, the fact that I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has caused a lot of interesting questions. I've received so many letters and e-mails asking things like, What are the basic beliefs of Latter-day Saints?"
My Testimony
…Some want to know how Debbie and I have been able to maintain a strong marriage — over all these years — while living in the world of show business. Others want to know how we dealt with the challenges of raising a close and happy family in such difficult times.
How do we maintain a balance between work, and family life? Well, you know it's not always easy, but the following pages are my attempt to explain a way of life that helps answer these kinds of questions. It gives me stability in a world, and in a business, that can be uncertain, compromising, and stressful. It's the pattern that gives me direction in my life. And, I hope that this information will help answer some of your questions.

Reconsider Catholicism
I am a Catholic and I have some problems with your beliefs. You believe that there was a great apostasy and yet that doesn't make any sense. If there was a Great Apostasy then where's the proof and how did the Catholic Church last for 2000 years? … If his Church disappeared even for a short time, the gates of hell would have prevailed. Therefore Christ's Church could only be the Catholic Church since the Mormon Church didn't exist until 1830. The only Church that can be traced back all the way to Christ is the Catholic Church and Christ is no liar. His Church would NEVER fall.

Table of Contents
What You Will Learn
- Understand the basics of business rules and JBoss rules with minimal effort
- Install the required software easily and learn to use the Guvnor, which is a user-friendly web editor that's also powerful enough to test our rules as we write them
- Learn to write sophisticated rules and import the fact model into the Guvnor and then build a guided rule around it, which makes your web pages a lot clearer
- Gain complete knowledge of what we can do with the Guvnor rule editor, and then use the JBoss IDE as an even more powerful way of writing rules, and automate processes for discounts, orders, sales, and more
- Know the structure of the rule file through the example of a shipping schedule, which will help you with your own shipping schedule
- Test your rules not only in the Guvnor, but also using FIT for rule testing against requirements documents; run unit tests using JUnit for error-free rules and interruption-free services
- Specifically, non-developers can work with Excel spreadsheets as a fact model to develop business processes without learning any other new technology
- Work with DSLs (Domain-Specific Languages) and rule flow to make writing rules easy; which makes staff training quicker and your working life easier

- Benefit from concepts such as truth maintenance, conflict resolution, pattern matching rules agenda, and the Rete algorithm to provide advanced and faster business systems so that staff efficiency is maximized
Chapter 1, Drooling over JBoss Rules. This chapter gives you a good platform to understand business rules and JBoss rules. We look at the problems that you might have (and why you're probably reading this book). We look at what business rule engines are, and how they evaluate business rules that appear very simple and how they become powerful when multiple rules are combined.
Chapter 2, Getting the software, deals with installation. This chapter explains setting up Java, setting up Business Rule Management System (BRMS)/Guvnor running on the JBoss App Server, setting up Eclipse, and installing the Drools Plug-in. It also details the installation of the Drools examples for this book and the Maven to build them.
Chapter 3, Meet the Guvnor, deals with writing our rules using the 'Guvnor'. Guvnor is the user-friendly web editor that's also powerful enough to test our rules as we write them. We take up an example to make things easier. Then we look at the various Guvnor screens, and see that it can not only write rules (using both guided and advanced editors), but that it can also organize rules and other assets in packages, and also allow us to test and deploy those packages. Finally, we write our very first business rule—the traditional 'Hello World' message announcing to everyone that we are now business rule authors.
Chapter 4, Guided Rules with the Guvnor. This chapter shows how to use the Guvnor rule editor to write some more sophisticated rules. It also shows how to get information in and out of our rules, and demonstrates how to create the fact model needed to do this. We import our new fact model into the Guvnor and then build a guided rule around it. Finally we test our rule as a way of making sure that it runs correctly.
Chapter 5, From Guvnor to JBoss IDE. This chapter pushes the boundries of what we can do with the Guvnor rule editor, and then brings in the JBoss IDE as an even more powerful way of writing rules. We start by using variables in our rules example. Then we discuss rule attributes (such as salience) to stop our rules from making changes that cause them to fi re again and again. After testing this successfully, we look at text-based rules, in both the Guvnor and the JBoss IDE, for running 'Hello World' in the new environment.
Chapter 6, More Rules in the jBoss IDE. This chapter looks again at the structure of a rule fi le. At the end of this chapter, we look at some more advanced rules that we can write and run in the IDE.
Chapter 7, Testing your Rules. This chapter explains how testing is not a standalone activity, but part of an ongoing cycle. In this chapter we see how to test our rules, not only in the Guvnor, but also using FIT for rule testing against requirements documents. This chapter also explains Unit Testing using JUnit.
Chapter 8, Data in Excel, Rules in Excel. This chapter explains how to use Excel Spreadsheets (cells and ranges) as our fact model to hold information, instead of the write-your-own-JavaBean approach we took earlier. Then we use Excel spreadsheets to hold Decision tables, to make repetitive rules easier to write.
Chapter 9, Domain-Specific Languages [DSL] and rule flow. This chapter aims to make our rules both easier to use, and more powerful. We start with DSLs—Domain-Specifi c Languages. This chapter follows on from the 'easy to write rules' theme from the previous chapter and also discusses both ruleflow and workflow. It would be great to draw a workfl ow diagram to see/control what (groups of) rules should fi re and when. Rule flow gives us this sort of control.
Chapter 10, Deploying rules in real life. This chapter shows you how to deploy your business rules into the real world. We look at the pieces that make up an entire web application, and where rules fit into it. We see the various options to deploy rules as part of our application, and the team involved in doing so. Once they are deployed, we look at the code that would load and run the rules—both home-grown and using the standard RuleAgent. Finally we see how to combine this into a web project using the framework of your choice.
Chapter 11, Peeking under the covers. This chapter looks at what happens under the cover by opening up the internals of the Drools rule engine to understand concepts such as truth maintenance, confl ict resolution, pattern matching, and the rules agenda. In this chapter, we explore the Rete algorithm and discuss why it makes rules run faster than most comparable business logic. Finally we see the working memory audit log and the rules debug capabilities of the Drools IDE.
Chapter 12, Other Drools features. This chapter deals with the other advanced Drools features that have not yet been covered. This includes Smooks to bulk load data, Complex Event Processing, and Drools solver to provide solutions where traditional techniques would take too long.
In Detail
In business, a lot of actions are trigged by rules: "Order more ice cream when the stock is below 100 units and temperature is above 25° C", "Approve credit card application when the credit background check is OK, past relationship with the customer is profitable, and identity is confirmed", and so on. Traditional computer programming languages make it difficult to translate this "natural language" into a software program. But JBoss Rules (also known as Drools) enables anybody with basic IT skills and an understanding of the business to turn statements such as these into running computer code.
This book will teach you to specify business rules using JBoss Drools, and then put them into action in your business. You will be able to create rules that trigger actions and decisions, based on data that comes from a variety of sources and departments right across your business. Regardless of the size of your business, you can make your processes more effective and manageable by adopting JBoss Rules.
Banks use business rules to process your mortgage (home loan) application, and to manage the process through each step (initial indication of amount available, actual application, approval of the total according to strict rules regarding the amount of income, house value, previous repayment record, swapping title deeds, and so on).
Countries such as Australia apply business rules to visa applications (when you want to go and live there)—you get points for your age, whether you have a degree or masters, your occupation, any family members in the country, and a variety of other factors.
Supermarkets apply business rules to what stock they should have on their shelves and where—this depends upon analyzing factors such as how much shelf space there is, what location the supermarket is in, what people have bought the week before, the weather forecast for next week (for example, ice cream in hot weather), and what discounts the manufacturers are giving.
This book shows how you can use similar rules and processes in your business or organization. It begins with a detailed, clear explanation of business rules and how JBoss Rules supports them.
You will then see how to install and get to grips with the essential software required to use JBoss Rules. Once you have mastered the basic tools, you will learn how to build practical and effective of the business rule systems.
The book provides clear explanations of business rule jargon. You will learn how to work with Decision Tables, Domain-Specifi c Languages (DSL)s, the Guvnor and JBoss Integrated Development Environment (IDE), workflow and much more.
By the end of the book you will know exactly how to harness the power of JBoss Rules in your business.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Violaine More supportive than it looks! Being a 34D, this is not a bra that I thought would work for me. Without underwire and padding, I figured the girls wouldn't be very happy. But boy was I wrong. This bra is so comfortable, and the absence of that underwire and padding is such a nice change. It lets your natural shape show through! I feel like we've forgotten what that's like anymore! However, while the "cups" of the size M fit perfectly, the band was a bit big. With the size S, even though the band was perfect, I had a bit of side-boob. I went with the size M for more comfort, as the band doesn't slip, but I do wish FP would address girls with a smaller ribcage and bigger breasts. Other than that, I love it! The lace looks gorgeous peeking out from a tank top, and I'll wear it both out and around the house. 11.18.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Izzi1096 Great Purchase This bra is really comfortable! I am a 36b/34c and ordered the small in bordeaux (the color and embroidery are exactly as pictured). The small fits perfectly, does not chafe, and has a nice stretch, so it doesn't cut into me even though I have a muscular back. One thing you can't really tell from the models is that there is a bit of side-boob exposed. This doesn't really bother me, but if it's a problem for you, you might want to size up, especially if you plan on wearing it as a top and not just a bra. Happy shopping! 4.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mpfeife Love this bra! I'm a huge FP fan, but I dislike most of their bras. I've found FP bras (although beautiful) are usually not terribly functional, not supportive, fit weird, and the straps (often not adjustable), are always way too loose. That being said, this one is completely different. The xs fits me snuggly on the last hook (I'm a 32C, 33" chest) and it actually offers a surprising amount of lift and support. On top of being beautiful, it's also functional and comfortable. FP got it right with this one! I hope they keep this style around for a long time and continue coming out with different colors. 7.16.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by akire32 Pricey, but nice! I picked this halter up in ivory to wear under loose filtting tanks and muscle shirts. It's also comfy to just lounge around and sleep in! I am 5'3" and wear a 32D and 26 pant. I'm curvy but petite and have a small ribcage, which was a little problematic with sizing this halter. I generally wear a XS/S in FP, and occasionally a M.... I ended up getting a Medium. While the Small fit my ribcage and around the neck, the cups were too narrow, and showed more sideboob than I liked. The Medium's cups fit much better, and while the straps did fit, they were roomy, even on the smallest hook. I decided to just get the M for the cup fit and shorten the straps myself. I did and it's wonderful! Getting one in black too! 3.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mishee LOVE I'm IN LOVE with this bra! I bought it in the copper color. It works perfectly under sweaters and also alone. I plan on wearing it to concerts and music festivals. I love it so much I'm thinking of purchasing it in another color! I'm also a typically a 32D bust wise but I'm 5'0 and wear XS in most baggy shirts and S in tighter ones. I weigh about 110ish depending on the day but I bought this in a S. It fits very nicely it's just a LITTLE loose around my rib area but bust wise it's nice. 9.23.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by sarajohnson71313 nice. I am a 36DD, and I have been trying to find a bra that was cute without an under wire (which is hard to do with DD's), This bra holds them in really nicely, although I do have to say that my neck hurts by the end of the day. Compared to the other bras on FP this one is the best by far, the other ones did not do anything for me. 9.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JesseV Perfect little bra! Thank you for not making this bra too large for us XS folk. I am a 30/32AA and worried for a long time that the cups would be saggy. To my pleasant surprise, they fit! The band could be a little tighter, but I just manage to fit. I am happy enough! I have four of these bras now. I bought the hot pink from Nordies before it was available on FP and it is the BEST colour ever! (style pic of the hot pink is uploaded with all the pics) 6.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cosmos Beautiful but... I wear a size 32a and the xs fits pretty much perfectly. I don't find it itchy at all. Provides enough hold for casual wear and looks great under everything. I do, however, get mild headaches by the end of the day due to the stress it puts on the back of my neck. It's comfortable everywhere else. 1.30.2014

LADY DRAGON RALLY FALLS SHORT IN NATIONAL SEMIFINALSMarch 23, 2013
By Steve Carpenter, HCC Sports Information Director
SALINA – One of the most helpless feelings for a basketball team at any point in the season is when shots won't fall.
The fact that it happened to the Hutchinson Community College women's basketball team at the start of its NJCAA Women's Division I National Tournament semifinal on Friday night just magnified the helplessness the Lady Dragons were dealing with. For every shot they missed, the distance from Central Arizona and a berth in a second-straight national championship game kept getting wider and wider.
Second-ranked Central Arizona scored the first 23 points of the game and Hutchinson's first points of the game didn't come for 11 minutes, 50 seconds. The Lady Dragons made it a five-point game with less than 7 minutes remaining, but ultimately fell in the national semifinals 52-40 to the Vaqueras.
Hutchinson (35-2) will now play Florida Gulf Coast in a 5 p.m. Consolation game on Saturday at the Salina Bicentennial Center. Central Arizona will play defending national champion Trinity Valley in the championship game at 7 p.m.
"Any time you get off to a start like we did, you put yourself in a hole and it's hard to get out of that hole against great teams." HCC head coach John Ontjes said. "A lot of it had to do with our shot selection and execution, not being able to score around the rim and attack the basket. We had zero free throws at halftime. We settled for way too many outside jumpers."
Added freshman Jamie Patrick: "It came down to making shots and that's what we had to do."
The Lady Dragons had all kids of season offensive lows against Central Arizona. HCC finished 12 of 53 (22.6 percent), 5 of 25 from 3-point range and 11 of 16 from the foul line. HCC committed 18 turnovers and rebounding was tied at 39-all.
Patrick had 10 points and eight rebounds to lead the Lady Dragons. Walter finished with nine points and six rebounds. Sorrells and Herl finished with six points each.
Edwards had 28 points and eight rebounds to lead the Vaqueras. Howard had 11 points and 14 rebounds.
Central Arizona shot 31.0 percent (13 of 42), going 4 of 14 from long range and 22 of 33 from the free-throw line. The Vaqueras had 16 turnovers.
Hutchinson's start against Central Arizona was simply nightmarish. The Lady Dragons missed their first 12 shots and committed eight turnovers against a Vaquera defense what overwhelmed HCC with length and quickness.
HCC trailed 7-0 just 2 minutes, 18 seconds into the game. At the 15-minute mark, it was 13-0. At the 10-minute mark, Central's lead ballooned to 18-0 and when All-America candidate Brea Edwards sank two free throws with 8:56 remaining, HCC trailed by a whopping 23-0 deficit.
Hutchinson's largest deficit this season had been 10 points.
"It was frustrating, but we still had to keep going and keep shooting and keep working hard to go get rebounds for second second-chance opportunities," said freshman Briana Starks, who finally cracked the scoring drought with a 17-foot jumper with 8:10 to play in the first half. "Everybody did their job and didn't give up. We kept shooting and they just didn't fall tonight."
The Lady Dragons limped into the locker room trailing 30-10 after shooting a frigid 4 of 27 in the first half.
But something was starting to happen in the final 10 minutes of the first half. HCC's top-ranked Jayhawk West defense was starting to find its legs after the wobbly start. Hutchinson's defense – mainly zone after starting in a man defense – limited Central Arizona to only one field goal over the final 9 minutes of the first half. That was a trend that continued in the final 20 minutes.
"We never had a thought that we were going to lose, even down 20 at halftime," Starks said. "We knew we could come back. Especially in the first half, we knew we had to keep shooting and keep going after it and the shots would start to fall."
Hutchinson matched its first-half offensive output just 2 minutes, 45 seconds into the second half when sophomore Jade Herl cut the lead to 33-21 and capped off an 11-0 HCC run.
While the offense was starting to find its way, HCC's zone defense and hard work continued to frustrate Central Arizona. The Vaqueras (31-1) made their first field-goal attempt of the second half, a deep Edwards' 3-pointer. Central then missed their next 12 shots and didn't score another field goal for the next 12 minutes, 46 seconds, scoring just two free throws over that span.
In fact, Hutchinson's defense held Central Arizona to only eight field goals over the final 29 minutes of the game.
"I told them that I believe we are still going to win the game in the second half." Ontjes said. "We fought extremely hard. I was very proud of our kids in the second half. They turned up the intensity and if we would have made a few free throws or get it down to a one-possession game, who knows. Things just didn't go our way tonight."
HCC opened the second half on a 20-5 run; scoring the final nine of that run uninterrupted and when Patrick hit two free throws with 6:49 to play, the Central lead dwindled to five points at 35-30.
Central's Edwards took over at that point. She scored 12 of Central's next 14 points to keep the Lady Dragons at arm's length. Her back-to-back field goals pushed the lead back out to 12 at 47-35 with 3:11 to go, but an Aja Sorrells three-point play and Chirsstasia Walter layup after a Herl steal brought the Lady Dragons back within 47-40 with 2:14 to go.
The comeback ended there as HCC was unable to score again.
"We knew we had a whole new 20-minute half," Patrick said. "We had to get some stops and get some baskets. We tried and got it to five points. Being down so much, we could have quite, but we didn't. We got it down to five and couldn't get over that hump."
GAME NOTES – HCC is now 9-6 all-time in the NJCAA Tournament, 1-2 in semifinal games. … This was the fewest points scored for HCC in an NJCAA Tournament game. … The Lady Dragons have not allowed a team to shoot better than 50 percent in 219 consecutive games. … The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for HCC vs. nationally ranked teams. … The Lady Dragons are now 1-1 all-time vs. Central Arizona. … Jamie Patrick tied Joell Meyer (1993) for fourth on the freshman 3-point list with 63. … The Lady Dragons moved in third in team history in made 3-pointers with 199. … Central's Brea Edwards have individual opponent highs of 28 points and 11 free throws. … Central's Joymeisa Howard had an opponent high 14 rebounds. … The Lady Dragons had season lows in points (40), points in a half (10), field goals (12), shot percentage (22.6%), assists (9) and steals (8).
