By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 3, 2002 Army Secretary Thomas White has asked the Army inspector general to look into possible inappropriate behavior by service officials in connection with the Crusader artillery system program, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke said this morning at a briefing.
The Army has spent $2 billion on the Crusader to date. It would take another $9 billion to complete the program. Critics maintain the Crusader is too big and heavy for the lighter, more mobile Army of the future.
As defense officials worked through the fiscal 2004 Defense Planning Guidance process, Clarke said, some alternative technologies came to light.
"There are some Crusader-like technologies that evidently show a lot of promise," she said. It's become apparent to DoD officials that proceeding with the Crusader could delay or prevent funding promising technologies that could benefit all services, she said.
Defense officials intend to make sure the department gets maximum value for taxpayers' hard-earned dollars, she said. "Very often when we talk about transformation, we're talking about equipment or the way we're organized, or the way we train, but it is also about bringing the financial management systems into the 21st century."
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz asked White to come back within 30 days with a plan that assumes the Crusader is canceled and invests the freed $9 billion in other, more transformational, technologies, Clarke said.
"Sometime after the deputy met with Secretary White and communicated what we would like to have happen," she said, "there were people making comments; there were talking points and fact sheets being sent around that did not support that direction. I'll just leave it at that.
"Around here," she noted, "when an issue is under discussion or under review, we fully expect people to speak out forcefully, to speak out smartly, to make their case. But when a decision has been reached, the expectations are that you will support that."
Clarke said it's up to the IG to determine what happened: "Who talked to whom? Who did what? Those are the kinds of things I'm sure the IG will look into." She said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is confident that White and the IG will get to the bottom of any inappropriate behavior.
"We're also confident that anyone who may be responsible for inappropriate behavior will be held accountable," she concluded.

It might not be the cleanest, most comfortable place to stay in Paros, but with the beach (literally) a stone's throw over the road and a night's stay in a cabin costing about as much as a Greek salad, you can't really go wrong in a town where spending time in your room should be last thing on your mind! Just don't look too closely at anything, grab something soft to lay your head on (pillows and blankets are not provided in the cabins), spend your days at the beach and you'll be fine!

Nice campsite, a bit dead when I was there (Mid August), easy 10 minute walk from the main town. Good clean toilet, shower and kitchen. I stayed in one of the ready tents and it was clean and spacious.

Tri-County unemployment rates climb with state
Reports of a strong job market and a resilient economy nationally are not resonating in the Tri-County area just yet.
December unemployment figures released showed all three counties were up significantly, staying on par with 94 others in the state also increasing in the percentage of unemployed.
Vance County climbed to 13.4 percent, Warren was up to 12.1 and Granville 9.8. All three climbed more than one-half point over November. The numbers were provided by the N.C. Department of Commerce's Labor and Economic Analysis Division.
The statewide rate for December not seasonally adjusted was 9.5. The national figures for January showed an increase form 7.8 in December to 7.9 in January.
Lawmakers were expected to debate a package in the state House Monday evening that would cut benefits and raise business taxes on the unemployed. North Carolina owes $2.6 billion to the federal government, and the new package would repay the debt three years faster.
Maximum weekly benefits to the unemployed would also be dropped by about one-third, to roughly $350 a week.
North Carolina's unemployment rate is fifth-worst in the country.
The December numbers come on the heels of Vance County's unemployment rate being seasonally adjusted at 12.3 percent in October and 12.5 in November, the best in four years. Vance County was at 10.0 percent in October 2008.
Last year's January rate was 15.0, decreased to 12.7 in April before rising to 14.3 in June.
Warren County was at 11.5 percent in November and Granville County was 9.2 percent. The state rate had dropped to 9.1 in November and the national rate was 7.7.
Vance County spent all of 2012 ranking between 94th and 96th among the state's 100 counties until moving to 91st in the December numbers.
In comparison to a year earlier, Vance was at 14.4 percent in December 2011, Warren 13.9 and Granville 10.1.
Vance County's favorable trend in increases in the labor force and the number of those employed was interrupted in November and continued badly in December. The county's labor force dropped by 181 to 19,405 while the number of unemployed surged by 147 to 2,602.
In the Micropolitan Statistical Area numbers, Henderson's 13.4 percent unemployed was a 0.8-percent increase over November and 1-percent less than December 2011.

There have been investigation after investigation, and report after report, but now the U.S. Coast Guard investigation report has now been released, 19 months after the HMS Bounty sank during Hurricane Sandy. Prosecutors are considering criminal charges against the management company responsible for The Bounty, CNN reports.
HMS Bounty in her death throes
According to the report, if management and the captain of the sunken tall ship HMS Bounty had 'exercised the proper responsibility, judgment and prudence,' the deaths of two crew would have been prevented.
Before she sank about 100 miles off Cape Hatteras, the Bounty, a recreation of the original Bounty of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' fame, was arguably the most famous three-masted wooden square rigger in the world.
The Coast Guard issued a wide range of recommendations in the disaster that killed crewmember Claudene Christian (a descendant of original chief mutineer Fletcher Christian) and left Capt. Robin Walbridge missing and presumed dead. Fourteen crew members survived.
The decision to abandon ship so late after hurricane conditions worsened and the 'fact that the crew had not drilled (with safety procedures) in months' led the Coast Guard to determine that the captain's 'actions/and or inactions in this regard constitutes negligence.'
The ships' owner, HMS Bounty Organization LLC, according to the report, 'committed acts of negligence' that contributed to Christian's death and the presumed death of Walbridge. Robert Hansen, head of the Bounty Organization, declined to testify at the Coast Guard hearings, evoking Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
The Bounty operated as a recreational vessel under 'less stringent safety standards.' The report recommended that the Coast Guard 'examine if legislative, regulatory or policy changes are needed.'
The ship was built for the 1962 film 'Mutiny on the Bounty.' The aging vessel had maintenance issues that would be expected of a half-century old, 180-foot-long wooden ship.
The National Transportation Safety Board had already reported that the Bounty tragedy was largely caused by Walbridge's 'reckless decision to sail ... into the well-forecast path of Hurricane Sandy.'

ROBERTSON COUNTY - A huge fire destroyed two large chicken houses in Robertson County off of Rose Hill Rd.
According to the Robertson County Sheriff and our reporters on the scene, a fire broke out just after 5pm and spread to two poultry production houses. The structures were reportedly empty at the time of the fire.
Six different fire departments were called out to the fire and firefighters on scene say they were able to get the fire under control by about 6:30pm. The fire was still smoldering as of 10pm, and firefighters say it will be a while before it will be completely out.
The Robertson County Sheriff says the chicken houses are independent providers to the company Sanderson Farms, and neighbors tell our reporters on scene that the owners are currently out of the country.

Warrants: Calif. teen killer stalked other woman
SAN DIEGO - SAN DIEGO (AP) - Police believe a registered sex offender stalked a young woman more than a year before he raped and murdered two teenage girls in Southern California, according to search warrants unsealed Wednesday.
A police officer in Escondido identified John Albert Gardner III as the driver of a gray vehicle that followed a woman on April 2, 2009, the documents state.
The woman, perhaps 20 years old, had flagged down the officer for help and said the driver had been following her all day for no reason.
The woman left the area before the officer could ask more questions. She has never been identified.
"The officer quickly contacted the vehicle as it tried to depart the area and identified the driver as Gardner," the warrant said without elaborating.
The warrants also said there were other incidents involving Gardner and his "association" with teenage females, including one in Escondido, perhaps in February, the same month Gardner killed 17-year-old Chelsea King.
The documents did not elaborate further on that issue.
Gardner, 31, will be sentenced to life in prison without parole on May 14 after pleading guilty to raping and murdering King and 14-year-old Amber Dubois, who vanished while walking to school in Escondido in February 2009.
Lt. Craig Carter, a spokesman for Escondido police, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gardner lived in the north San Diego suburb from August 2008 to January 2010. He was released from prison in 2005 after serving five years of a six-year sentence for molesting a 13-year-old San Diego neighbor.
The warrants - unsealed by Superior Court Judge Richard Whitney on a request by news organizations including The Associated Press - said investigators turned up no evidence in a search of Gardner's phone records after King disappeared Feb. 25 while running in a San Diego park.
A search warrant unsealed last week said an 11-year-old girl told San Diego police a man followed her home from school the day before Gardner killed King.
Gardner, in an interview that aired last week on KFMB-TV, sidestepped a question on whether he targeted other victims.
"Good try," he said and laughed.
The newly unsealed warrants said Gardner worked from August 2007 to October 2009 for an El Cajon company that does electrical work.

- Aptitude tests item analysis test construction verbal ability
Three verbal item types employed in standardized aptitude tests were administered in four formats--conventional multiple-choice along with three formats requiring the examinee to produce rather than simply to recognize correct answers. For two item types, Sentence Completion and Antonyms, the response format made no difference in the pattern of correlations among the tests. Only for a multiple-answer open-ended Analogies test were any systematic differences found; even the interpretation of these is uncertain, since they may result from the speededness of the test rather than from its response requirments. In contrast to several kinds of problem-solving tasks that have been studied, discrete verbal item types appear to measure essentially the same abilities regardless of the format in which the test is administered.

Each week during the season, Sporting News writers debate one key issue.
This week's question: After losing its opener, is Notre Dame primed for a massive disappointment this season?
The Fighting Irish lost 23-20 last Saturday to Skip Holtz and South Florida, taking some air out of the balloon of inflated expectations.
Fighting Irish bound again for 8-5
By Steve Greenberg
Oh, it's bad, brothers and sisters of the Fighting Irish persuasion.
It's real bad.
Your team's goose is not all the way cooked, no, but something sure smells good to all those who unconscionably revel in Notre Dame's despair.
Sniff. Sniff.
Perchance, the wafting aroma of 8-5?
A repeat of last season's record would represent cold, hard inertia in Year 2 of the Brian Kelly regime, when so much better has been expected by the millions who see life through green-tinted lenses.
Bob Stoops won a national championship in his second season at Oklahoma. Jim Tressel did likewise at Ohio State; Pete Carroll at USC; Urban Meyer at Florida. For crying out loud, who hasn't done it? Even Gene Chizik won the whole shooting match in his second year at Auburn.
Live chat with our experts: Thursday, Noon ET, with Matt Hayes and Steve Greenberg
So why shouldn't the nimble-minded, driven Kelly put dear old Notre Dame back in a BCS game right stinkin' now?
A lot of ND fans and non-ND fans alike went into this season expecting the Irish to kick things up to 10 or more wins, but it's not going to happen. Even before USF went to South Bend and—amidst multiple weather delays—rained all over the Irish's parade, it wasn't likely to happen.
Just look at that schedule, will you?
With upcoming games at Michigan and at home vs. Michigan State, wouldn't you bet on a split before you'd bet on 2-0 (or, for that matter, 0-2)?
There are games vs. Stanford and USC, one seemingly tougher than the other but, come on, now, both easily losable. Can't Maryland beat the Irish out in Landover? Can't Pittsburgh or Purdue or BC or Navy put one over on Notre Dame if, you know, USF could?
Needless to say, it doesn't help matters that—after spending the whole offseason deciding on a starting quarterback—Kelly took less than one game to reverse his decision, benching Dayne Crist in favor of Tommy Rees.
It was a bad decision. Or, at the very least, it looked like one. This is Brian Kelly, as self-assured a coach as you'll ever come across. But now he's at Notre Dame, feeling that ever-present, one-of-a-kind pressure to win and … maybe he's getting a little skittish?
Some of his players had to be a little weirded out by Kelly's 180. This isn't a coach who flies by the seat of his pants.
Yes, 8-5 (again)? Sounds about right.
ND too good to let one game impact whole season
By Matt Hayes
Settle down, everyone. It's one week, one game, one awful performance by a team that's much better than it showed.
And when we really start analyzing this performance and understanding that Notre Dame gave away 28 points in a horrific loss to USF, it's not too hard to imagine the Irish coming right back this weekend and playing well at Michigan.
"It's probably one of the most frustrating things I've ever had as a football coach," Kelly said.
He—and ND faithful on the ledge—can take solace in this: a team's biggest jump during the season is between Week 1 and Week 2. Notre Dame, after turning the ball over three times inside the USF 5 in a 23-20 loss—one turnover was returned for a touchdown (hence, the 28-point swing)—may just go out and play its best game of the season in Ann Arbor. Then what?
Then does Notre Dame suddenly bounce right back to BCS contender in our gotta-get-it, gotta-have-it microwave society? It's a vicious cycle in sports; each latest event feeding off another and another without and hesitation for reflection.
Even Kelly fell into the trap, announcing Tuesday that he would replace Dayne Crist with Tommy Rees at quarterback. Crist has an NFL arm and can make all the throws, but made one horrible throw in the end zone against the Bulls (that was intercepted) that likely cost him his job.
Rees came in with the game out of reach—and the rain pouring down—and led the Irish to a late score to make it look respectable. Kelly said Tuesday that it's not Crist's fault; that blame lies with the entire team. Yet he still decided to go with Rees.
Everyone take a deep breath. Not only will Notre Dame be fine—far from the massive disappointment—Crist will eventually win back the job. He's too good a player to have sitting on the bench paying for the misdeeds of an entire team.
And Notre Dame is too good to let one game impact an entire season.

What was supposed to be a day out with Sam and Nikita, turned into another rescue mission. We decided to go to some caves which was a three and a half hour drive away. So many times we stopped along the way to feed pups and dogs. We couldn't pick them all up as we would have picked up over 10 before we got there. A couple of weeks ago we were asked if we could go and help some pups in a layby near
the caves. We had two of our dogs in cages due to lack of space so we weren't in a position to go and take in more. We went to check if they were still there and sadly they are. They are very scared and were fighting with each other. We only managed to catch one that had lost an eye.
On the way back we had to stop on a busy road when we saw a litter of young pups all crossing a busy road. one pup got hit by a car and ran off screaming. Sam managed to grab one of the pups but the others all went under a fence. By this time it was very dark and Sam could see the pups had joined their mother on the other side of the fence. the little one that had been hit by a car had stopped screaming and apart from the problem of where we would put them, it wouldn't have been safe to try and get them. The two pups we did rescue are now settled in a large cage. That doesn't stop us from thinking and worrying about all the dogs we saw and fed today that we didn't bring back. Sadly we just don't have the room. By the time we got home we must have seen or fed nearly 20 dogs or pups that all needed help.
I have to say that at just three years old, Nikita was a little star today. We were parked on a very busy road after seeing the litter of pups crossing the road. Sam passed me the one she had managed to catch and then went looking for the one that had been hit by a car and the others. I had to move the car and turn round so I told Nikita she had to be a big girl and look after the pup for me. She held the pup all the way home despite us having to stop again after it was sick on her.
The little pup who has lost an eye will need to go to the vets in the city.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is not the same as Web services: the latter is one concrete way to achieve some benefits of SOA, and specifies a collection of technologies using protocols such as simple object access protocol (SOAP), and languages such as XML. Web services are invoked over the Internet by means of industry-standard protocols, including SOAP; extensible markup language (XML); hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), Web services description language (WSDL); and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). These are defined through public standards organizations such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). For example, SOAP is an XML-based messaging technology standardized by the W3C, which specifies all the necessary rules for locating Web services, integrating them into applications, and communicating between them. UDDI is a public registry, offered at no cost, where one can publish and inquire about Web services.
Part Three of the series Architecture Evolution: From Mainframes to Service-oriented Architecture.
For more background information, see Architecture Evolution: From Mainframe to Service-oriented Architecture and Architecture Evolution: From Web-based to Service-oriented Architecture.
SOA can in part be defined and explained by Web services, which according to Microsoft are "self-describing software modules, semantically encapsulating discrete functionality, wrapped in and accessible via standard Internet communication protocols like XML and SOAP." Web services are revolutionizing how applications talk to other applications (or, more broadly, how computers talk to other computers) by providing a universal data format that lets data be easily adapted or transformed. Based on XML, the universal language of Internet data exchange, Web services can communicate across platforms and operating systems, regardless of the programming language in which the applications are written. Although each Web service is a discrete unit of code that handles a limited set of tasks, and although Web services remain independent of each other, they can loosely link themselves into a collaborating group that performs a particular task.
But, unlike Web services, SOA is a broader concept that runs independent of any specific technology, and even if one uses Web services and object-oriented (OO) approaches, one may not necessarily achieve the holistic state of loosely coupled, autonomous, and reusable components that are essential to true SOA. Nonetheless, Web services also make it possible for developers to choose between building (providing) all pieces of their applications, or consuming (using) Web services created by others. This means that an individual company does not have to supply every piece for a complete solution. The ability to expose (announce and offer) its own Web services creates new revenue streams for any company, whether it is an independent software vendor (ISV), a reseller, or even a user enterprise.
Business-oriented Web Services
A business-oriented definition of Web services would be an approach that helps the business connect with its customers, partners, and employees. In other words, it should enable the business to extend existing services to new customers, help it work more efficiently with its partners and suppliers, and unlock information so it can flow to every employee who needs it.
Efficient business management practices describe span of control as a critical mass beyond which a single manager or management team cannot effectively manage people or facilities. This is why manufacturing facilities that become too large are typically split into smaller units, and why large corporations generally tend to have multiple manufacturing and distribution business units operating independently. These enterprises not only need to be managed effectively, but must collaborate and interoperate with each other.
Collaboration and interoperability are critical where multiple business units reside under one larger corporation, or where there is a requirement to integrate the system into a supplier's or customer's disparate system when a business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C) extension is desirable as part of the business model. These connections can be made easily using Web services which, again, allow the applications to share information through the Internet, regardless of the operating system or back-end software that the application is using. By enabling applications to share data across different hardware platforms and operating systems, Web services provide many more benefits, including reduced development time and expense for new projects. They also deliver more personal, integrated experiences to users through the new breed of smart devices—including personal computers (PCs).
A good illustration is a stand-alone inventory system, which, if not connected to anything else, is not as valuable as it could be. In other words, the system might be able to track inventory, but not much more, and users may have to enter inventory information twice—once in their accounting system and once in their customer relationship management (CRM) system. The inventory system may be unable to automatically place orders to suppliers, and the benefits of such an "autistic" inventory system are diminished by high overhead costs. However, if one connects such an inventory system to an accounting system, whenever one buys or sells something, the implications for the inventory and cash flow can be tracked in one step. Furthermore, by connecting with a warehouse management system (WMS), a customer ordering system, supplier ordering systems, and the shipping company, suddenly the inventory management system is worth much more, since users can perform uninterrupted management of their business while dealing with each transaction only once, instead of once for every system it affects. That represents a lot less work—and a lot less opportunity for error.
Prior to the development of Web services and application servers, linking disparate systems required a massive amount of programming, and many manual steps for the interaction to occur. And when it did, system speed was often sacrificed. Conversely, modern platforms should much more easily allow companies to automate processes once done manually, thereby reducing labor costs, and facilitating accuracy by eliminating human error. For example, it should be possible for orders placed over a company's Web site to be processed automatically virtually in real time, with the appropriate pricing allocated according to customer status. Accounts can thereby be created on the fly before the order is processed, while orders can be automatically printed out, and items automatically relieved from inventories in real time—all with no human intervention.
The implementation of an application on such a Web services-based platform can even shift the transaction load from the front-office e-commerce system to the back-office enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. For instance, an e-mail thanking the buyer for a purchase can be initiated from the back office after the XML transaction is consumed by the ERP system. In this manner, the information sent can be more informative, including data such as expected production time frames and ship dates, which is especially pertinent in a B2B manufacturing environment. What is important is that the usually silent feedback received in a customary B2B e-commerce environment can be enhanced through the ability to seamlessly extend the information to the back-office ERP system. The result should be a richer customer experience, in turn resulting in happier customers and increased long term revenue.
The SOA Environment
There are many similar applications where Web services-based solutions can replace time-consuming and error-prone manual tasks to speed order turnaround. But to take advantage of that, enterprise applications vendors need to re-educate users to think "outside the box" or "outside in." In the early 80s and the days of the mainframe, system architects spent a huge amount of time with customers developing system specifications prior to writing the customized, tailored system. Users were urged to think "outside-of-the-box" functionally, bur "inside the box" technologically, to push the technology to the limit (of what the box could do at the time). Users became accustomed to demanding functionality and getting it delivered, even at a hefty price. To the end of mitigating this, application servers have become the middleware for the enterprise as they increasingly provide more hooks into legacy applications. In an SOA environment, an application server hosts the application services and also plays the role of a fundamental enabling technology. Transaction-processing monitors (TPMs) and object transaction monitors (OTMs) are examples of native application server products.
Before Sun Microsystems pioneered the application server concept in the late 1990s (although some might argue that the Microsoft Transaction Server [MTS] pre-dates the application server work by Sun), software was still largely treated as unfathomable lines of monolithic code, stovepipe legacy applications, or at best collections of vaguely recognizable objects. Mainframe and early client/server applications also had complete control of the stack from top to bottom, including user interface (UI), process logic, integration logic, application logic, and database. The advent of application servers began to change this by promoting a subtle but profound shift in how software should be designed (and perceived). For the first time, developers started to think of code in terms of functions and services such as transaction management, load balancing, and security. Since such services are common to all systems, regardless of platform, software developers began to pursue seriously the idea that functionally identifiable components can be re-used and shared across multiple different systems.
The intent here is to address the ever-increasing market awareness of the following facts:
However, it takes excruciatingly painstaking efforts, industry domain knowledge, and resources (often estimated in hundreds of "labor years") to devise and build an enterprise system from scratch. In deciding how to write it, every software vendor makes a big, expensive commitment to the technological underpinning it has to select at the beginning of the project (for example, programming language, operating system platform, and data access technology). Often, the selected language and the data access technology are tightly integrated and not easily separated later.
If one does not count some open-source proponents and pioneers and IBM System i zealots (formerly AS/400—see Server Platform Situational Analysis: IBM AS/400), there has long been an informal demarcation between Unix-based enterprise systems for larger enterprise and Microsoft Windows-based systems for the lower end of the market. With the advent of application servers, and the vendors' and users' forays into Web services and SOA-enablement, this opposition has been transformed into Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)-based application servers versus Microsoft .NET (see Understand J2EE and .NET Environments Before You Choose).
While much has so far been said in our research about the J2EE camp (see Oracle Further Orchestrates Its SOA Forays, Multipurpose SAP NetWeaver, and Contributing to the Rejuvenation of Legacy Systems in the Enterprise Resource Planning Field), look for forthcoming articles that will also analyze the state of affairs of the Microsoft-centric enterprise vendors.
If suffices to state here that the most basic case, and possibly the most prevalent, would be that of mere .NET-compatibility in the market. Namely, that means only that legacy software simply runs on .NET branded servers (Microsoft Windows). While such technologically laggard Microsoft-centric products can run on the latest Microsoft operating systems and database platforms, the aforementioned benefits of Web services are typically not easily achievable.
Conclusion and Recommendations
When a compelling new technology does appear, it is quite common for an enterprise application provider to surround its old ERP or accounting core software in a "wrapper" of newer technology, of which the goal is to effectively obfuscate the old technology, giving it the latest graphical "look." The goal is also to provide an easier means to access the core business logic and data from other, more modern systems, devices, or from the Internet. Many ERP and accounting back-office systems in the market today were originally written in—and still contain—cores written in non-mainstream, or even antiquated technologies. Strategies employed to wrap older products include incorporating contemporary Windows graphical user interfaces (GUIs), often referred to as "screen scrapers" or web browser-based UIs, or lately, providing new Web services layers to rejuvenate their aged products by accessing the old business logic components and databases.
As long as the "old" software is meeting business needs, new technology is not the change driver, which makes building replacement products on a new framework a riskier strategy. Some of the venerable products are now in their umpteenth generation, which has given the vendors the chance to optimize their code and solve many security and other conflicting issues. Product functionality still matters quite a lot, and while it is important for enterprise applications providers to implement the latest computer science "quantum leap," there is no guaranteed correlation between first-to-market and ultimate success in the market. Many vendors have also felt the displeasure of the client bases that were far from being ready to make a significant technological leap. Hence, having been burdened with a large customer base still running on a slew of older product that support possibly obsolete technologies, even the largest vendors had to backpedal and rethink their older product release discontinuation strategies.
By way of conclusion, it is always the business rationale that should drive any technical decisions. Every business should focus on optimizing processes and core competencies such as lowering costs, improving customer satisfaction, achieving faster deliveries, and so forth. Then, some painstaking exercise should be conducted to determine the technological enablers. For the vast majority of enterprises, their future IT asset portfolio will still feature a mix of packaged and homegrown legacy applications, and not a total SOA rewrite.
This concludes the series Architecture Evolution: From Mainframes to Service-oriented Architecture.

On Monday, Japan's Diet enacted a law establishing procedures for national referenda on amendments to the country's constitution. On Tuesday, China publicly complained. This is not really surprising: for many Asians, Japan's constitutional arrangements have long been a matter of international concern.
Japan's "peace constitution" was imposed in 1946 by General Douglas MacArthur, the so-called "second emperor." In article nine of that document the Japanese people "forever" renounced both "war" and "the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." They also promised "never" to maintain "land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential."
But article nine has not been enforced for decades. Tokyo now maintains approximately 240,000 soldiers, sailors, and pilots supported by the world's fifth-largest military budget. Article nine today is narrowly interpreted as a ban on participation in "collective self-defense," but even that prohibition has been eroded. Japan sent minesweepers to the Persian Gulf in 1991, an Aegis destroyer to the Indian Ocean in 2002 to support U.S. operations, and, most notably, a contingent of troops to Iraq in 2004. The Iraq deployment was the first time Japan has sent ground troops to a war zone since the end of World War II. And, unlike Japan's 1992 mission in Cambodia and later peacekeeping efforts, the soldiers sent to Iraq operated outside a UN framework.
Other Asians are uncomfortable with Japanese participation in such military efforts. As Lee Kuan Yew, the former prime minister of Singapore, famously said, permitting the Japanese to carry arms abroad is like "giving liqueur chocolates to a reformed alcoholic." The new referendum law caused "high concern and misgivings among the people of Asia who suffered Japanese invasion and enslavement," according to a statement released by Beijing's official Xinhua news agency. "People have begun to doubt whether Japan will continue its path of peaceful development."
Paradoxically, however, Tokyo's attempt formally to legalize its defensive forces is a necessary step in ensuring that peaceful development. Article nine makes it extremely difficult for the Japanese to have honest debates among themselves about their history. The constitution stigmatizes the past and, as one of the country's most prominent journalists said to me recently, prevents Japan from becoming "a normal country."
East Asians may never feel fully comfortable with a rearmed Japan, but their unease is heightened by Tokyo's openly violating the country's constitution. The way to end, finally, the long aftermath of World War II in Asia is for the Japanese to amend their constitution—and subsequently to adhere to it.

Marriage and divorces play a very important place in the film industry. Actresses getting hitched and then separate is no big deal in the film industry. The Malayalam actors and actresses were considered more conventional wanting to make their marriage work.
However, the trend seems to be changing. Off late, like in Hollywood and Bollywood, many actresses in the Malayalam film industry are choosing to break off from their unhappy marriages and live an independent life and continue with their acting career.
Urvashi, Kalpana, Mayamoushmi, Jyothirmayi, Kavya Madhavan and Mamta Mohandas are few of the Malayalam film actresses who married and later decided to part ways from their better half.
Click on the slider below to check out Malayalam film actresses who sought divorce from their husbands.
Urvashi divorced her long time husband Manoj K Jayan. The two had an intense custody fight over their daughter.
Mayamoushmi, who married Udayakumar (it was Maya's second marriage), separated after seven years of marriage.
Mamta Mohandas
Mamta Mohandas, who married Pregith Padmanabhan last year, has decided to separate ways.
Kavya Madhavan
Kavya Madhavan divorced her husband Nishal on basis of domestic violence and harassment.
Malayalam actress and Urvashi's sister Kalpana, who was having a troubled married life, was granted divorce from her director husband Anil by the Ernakulam family court recently.
South Indian actress Jyothirmayi, who along with husband Nishanth Kumar, was granted divorce by a family court after all possible efforts for reconciliation through counselling failed.

5. How Does Beech Know Which Part of the Book Jack Read?
Taking a break from the fundamental flaws, here's another small concern that exists solely for dramatic reasons. As most know, Michael Arndt was brought in to polish up the script and give it some humanity, and it's fairly obvious to see his additions. One of them is most likely the connection that 49 and Beech make over the poem "Horatius," in the book "The Lays of Ancient Rome."
49 picks up a copy at his local library after almost being captured by the Scavs, and when he brings it back to his sky house (far away from the sunglasses-covered gaze of Beech) he reads the lines:
And how can man die better
than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods.
A perfect dramatic encapsulation of the inner struggle facing 49.
When he's captured by the Scavs, Beech lights up a cigar (which has miraculously survived 60 years in the desert of NYC) and repeats the same exact lines that 49 read. Without knowing what book 49 picked up, without knowing what pages he turned to in his solitude, Beech somehow knows exactly the right passage to quote back to him. It would be annoying as a surface-level contrivance, but it also helps Beech earn 49's trust, which means he gets the clone to do his bidding by magically knowing a poem.
He later says that he's been keeping an eye on 49 for some time, but there's no way he got cameras/spies all the way up in the sky house. So, again, this one is chalked up to dramatic service without any direct logical tie to the plot. For the second time, Beech knows something he couldn't possibly know, and it helps the story along. Are we sure he isn't reprising his role from Bruce Almighty here?
6. How Do the Aliens Know How to Copy Sally's Face and Voice?
The entire artifice perpetrated by the aliens hinges on their ability to connect Victoria and Jack to their former NASA admin Sally (who they inexplicably have memories of). It was awesome to have Melissa Leo crush another role, but how did the aliens know what she looked or sounded like?
They never had any contact with Sally whatsoever. She was on the ground when Victoria and Jack were captured, and their own tractor beam cut off Sally's feed to the NASA spaceship when it was activated. So how were they able to make a video avatar of her? And why do Vic and Jack remember Sally if their memories were wiped anyway?
7. Why Does 49 Put Julia Back Into a Sleeping Pod To Drop Her Off At the Lake?
Perhaps the most infuriating lie that the movie tells the audience is when 49 recreates the "dream of us" moment by putting Julia back into her sleep pod. All hope is lost. He volunteers for a suicide mission to deliver a nuclear bomb into the heart of the Tet. He seems to acquiesce to her wish to come with him and die together, and then secures her into a sleeping pod because apparently she wouldn't want to ride shotgun and spend her last living moments talking to her husband (who isn't really her husband).
"We have a few more days to be together? Excellent. Now get in this box and don't talk or move."
When they arrive in the center of the Tet (after 49 Jedi mind tricks his way into seeing the leader — because he wants to see their species survive? What was all that about?), 49 pops open the sleeping pod and, surprise, it's Beech! He's there to act as a decoy prisoner and to see the look on the alien's non-face when it realizes it's about to be blown to smithereens.
Only, why did 49 put Julia in the sleeping pod then? And where did they get a second sleeping pod from? All the others were blown up when the drones killed the crew members. Theoretically, 49 put Julia in a sleeping pod to drop her off a few miles away at the lake house?
And, again, if it was to trick her into surviving, why would she silently agree to get into the sleeping pod anyway? If he has to stay awake to fly the craft up to the Tet, why wouldn't she say, "Oh, the sleeping pod? Why do I need it? I'll just hang out while you fly. No biggies."
Of course the real reason is that the movie needed a twist ending, and this was the way to get one. Logic be damned, Oblivion put Julia into the sleeping pod for the sole reason of tricking the audience to think she was with 49 when he flew to blow up the Tet. It also facilitated that insultingly happy ending where all the loose strands just kind of came together.
8. Why Didn't 49 Give the Scavs Directions to His Lake House?
They've been living underground, scraping the bottom of civilization for food and shelter for decades. You've just fought alongside them to fend off an attack from the real enemy, and you're going to fly away on a world-saving suicide mission without telling them where your secret oasis is?
That's cold, 49.
At the end of the movie, there are little twins running around, and we're told it's 3 years after 49's sacrifice. The trees rustle, Julia's hackles are up, but it's only the Scavs, supposedly finding habitable land after three years of wandering around looking for it.
What? He couldn't leave them a note?
9. What Happens to All the Other Jack Clones Now?
Among the Scavs who are probably pissed at 49 for not making a map before he flew off with an inexplicably sleep pod-dwelling Beech, is Clone 52. We met him earlier when 49 fought him, 52 shot Julia, and then he disappeared completely because it was time for the next scene to happen.
But now he's back, he looks just like Jack, and Julia can be with a copy of her husband once again! Everyone's happy!
Except, what about all the other Jack Harper clones that are out there? By their assigned numbers alone, there's likely at least 50 other Jacks out there still stupidly guarding seawater vacuums and making love to Victoria in their sky pool. The geography is never all that clear, but some of them might even be as little as a few miles away, repairing drones that break along the coast in New Jersey or Delaware.
They are going to be really confused when communication with the Tet ceases, and they're brought into the fold. Probably about as confused as everyone who went to see Oblivion.
That's probably not even all the plot problems that the movie fails to take care of. What questions were you left scratching your head over when you left the theater?
Correction: An earlier version of this article intimated that Titan was one of Jupiter's moons when it's one of Saturn's. Apologies to our readers and to both planets.

By Claudette RouloAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 6, 2013 The long-term interests of the defense industry and the Defense Department are aligned, Deputy Defense Secretary Ash Carter said during a May 3 awards ceremony in McLean, Va.
At the ceremony, Carter received the Eisenhower Award from the National Defense Industrial Association. The award recognizes leadership and strategic impact at the highest levels of national security, according to an NDIA news release.
The success of the U.S. defense industry is in the nation's interest, Carter told the audience.
Though President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address in 1961 warned of the dangers of an outsized military-industrial complex, Carter said, the warning has been removed from its context. As a former Army general and supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe, Eisenhower clearly understood the vital role played by the defense industry in securing the nation, the deputy secretary noted.
"The larger point of his farewell address was that the interests of the country are served when leaders take the long view," he continued. Only by properly aligning ends with means in accordance with national interests, rather than special interests, can national leaders achieve the balance Eisenhower sought, Carter said.
Eisenhower advocated "balance between the private and the public economy, balance between cost and hoped-for advantages, balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable, balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual [and] balance between the actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future," Carter said, quoting from the president's farewell address.
"He went on to say, 'Maintaining balance involves the element of time, as we peer into society's future. We -- you and I, and our government -- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow,'" he said.
The Defense Department is taking the long view, Carter said, understanding that it is operating at the convergence of two great historical trends. The first -- a time of unprecedented strategic change -- led President Barack Obama to make clear in the new defense strategy that "we're turning a strategic corner," the deputy secretary said. The second -- historic levels of financial turbulence -- will require the department to absorb reductions in defense spending in the interest of the nation's overall fiscal health, he said.
The country is moving from an era dominated by two wars toward a future defined by disparate challenges and opportunities, Carter said.
"We know what many of these challenges are -- continued turmoil in the Middle East, the persistent threat of terrorism, enduring threats like weapons of mass destruction and a range of new threats like cyber," the deputy secretary said.
With the challenges come great opportunities, he said. Among them, Carter noted, is shifting the Defense Department's great intellectual and physical weight from Iraq and Afghanistan to the Asia-Pacific region, "where America's future ... will lie, and where America will continue and must continue to play a seven-decade-old pivotal, stabilizing role.
"As we draw down from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our force needs to make a very difficult transition," Carter continued, "from a large, rotational counterinsurgency-based force, to a leaner, more agile, more flexible and ready force for the future."
There was nothing wrong with the force the nation built for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Carter told the audienced. "It was the right force for the period," he added, noting that the Afghanistan conflict is not over. "We can't ever forget that that still remains job one, but we're going into a different period," he said.
The department's rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region is predominately a political and economic concept, not a military one, the deputy secretary said. But, the Defense Department's role is to enable the continuation of the region's 60 years of peace and prosperity, he said, often by simply leading by example. "We believe that our strong security presence in the Asia-Pacific has provided a critical foundation for our principles to take root," Carter said.
"Our partners in the region welcome our leadership and the values that underlie them," he added, "and therefore, I believe that our rebalance will be welcomed and reciprocated."
The rebalance isn't aimed at any one country, or group of countries, in the region, Carter noted. "It's good for us, and it's good for everyone in the region, and it includes everyone in the region."
If managed properly, the department's budget reductions and the nation's strategic shift can reinforce one another, he said.
"That is the task before us in the Department of Defense," the deputy secretary said. "We know, that in making this strategic transition, we only deserve the amount of money we need, and not the amount we've gotten used to. That's why, well before the current budget turmoil, we made reductions to the department's budget by $487 billion over the coming decade."
Other cuts were made earlier under former Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates to eliminate unneeded or underperforming programs, Carter said. Additionally, overseas contingency operations funds are decreasing now that the military has left Iraq and is drawing down from Afghanistan, he said.
"Taken together, these reductions compare in pace and magnitude to historical cycles in defense spending the nation has experienced ... after Vietnam and after the Cold War,"the deputy secretary said. "We need to continue our relentless effort to make every defense dollar count."
The department is committed to this effort, he added, noting that "everything will be on the table" during an ongoing review of strategic choices and management. The results of the review will be delivered to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in the coming weeks, Carter said.
"The choices that the secretary and the president make in response to these points in the following months will then inform our [fiscal year 2015] budget submission, as well as our [fiscal 2014] execution decisions," he added. "Ideally, we will have all three elements -- stability, time and flexibility -- with which to make critical budget decisions, but we must anticipate a wide range of possible contingencies."
Tough choices will be necessary in the years to come, Carter acknowledged, -- and will have significant impact on the United States, particularly if deep spending cuts required by the budget sequester remain in force.
"These tough choices, by necessity, must favor national interests over parochial priorities," he said. "What we cannot afford, as President Eisenhower said, is a debate in which people are in favor of sequester, but just not in their own back yard.
"Fiscal 'NIMBY-ism' is exactly the wrong policy prescription for what ails us," the deputy secretary said.

On the ground and in the sky, this weekend's Chilliwack Flight Fest is shaping up to be one of the biggest in years, thanks in large part to another air show hundreds of kilometres away.
Not only will the Chilliwack airport play host to a rare Spitfire fighter and B-25 bomber, but Sunday's pre-show will feature a flyby by the Snowbirds aerobatics team, a CF-18 Hornet fighter and a military CC-150 transport jet.
"This year's flight fest is going to be one of the most exciting we've had in a long time," organizer Ray Firkus told the Times. "The stars are aligning. We're getting a lot of stuff that we typically don't see here."
Those aligning stars include a major air show at CFB Comox on Vancouver Island and a Discovery Channel documentary crew that is filming professional air show performers and organizers.
With major performers already in B.C. for the Comox show, the Chilliwack Flight Fest — which is free, unlike the Comox show — was able to hire some of them at a discount rate.
"They're able to do two shows on the same weekend," Firkus said. "It's a win-win situation for all parties."
The Discovery Channel crew, excited at the prospects of being able to film the Snowbirds and other attractions, helped sort out many of the details for having the performers come to Chilliwack, Firkus said. Neither the B-25 nor the Spitfire has ever been featured at the Flight Fest. Spitfires, one of the most recognizable WWII fighter jets, are now extremely rare and valued in excess of $1 million. Both planes are based out of Paine Field in Washington.
Visitors will also get the chance to watch Pete McLeod, the first Canadian to compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Championships, among others.

I liked the story. Love me some nutra rat.
I hope this was just a decoy: all the protesters set up at the Calliope, meanwhile the Demolition crews are knocking down the Magnolia and St. Bernard. THAT would show some planning by the city.
I anticipated some serious fun on this one but instead was disappointed. After following the WVUE blog, I expected both outsiders and insiders to go at it. I thought it would be Norman Robinson this, Carl Aradondo that, Bob Breck will..., Lucy Bustamante what? But I suppose no one wants to but heads with the Fox 8 group. If there was an all out brawl Anchorman fashion, I would go ahead and guess WVUE would reign supreme. That is going off of how harsh the current and former employees seem to be. I bet Bob Breck carries a lead pipe and smacks around interns. Respect my weather authoritay!

Just wondering about rear dropout spacing. Seems track frames normally have a 120mm spacing, whereas a road frame might be more like 130mm?
Question i have is if you're looking at putting a track hub on the rear of a road frame, is the best option to get a longer axle and some spacers, or to try to squeeze the frame to fit the hub?
I'm assuming forks are much the same spacing be it track or road..?

Not taking care of your teeth could increase your risk for oral HPV.
Researchers at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center looked at health survey responses from 3,000. They found those who said they had poor oral health, like inflamed gums or sores in the mouth, had a more than 50-percent increased risk for oral HPV infection. The virus increases the risk for warts in the mouth or throat or at worst oral cancer.
Men, smokers, marijuana users and people with multiple partners had the highest risk for oral HPV infection.

Customer reviews
By Vanessa Tomé 07 Aug 2012
this is one of the best from Finnanger, the world of Tilda and friends it's absolutely amazing!
i'm so happy with my choice and purchase.
By Linda 16 Mar 2009
This book is scrumptiousness on pages. It's beautiful to look at, inspiring for creativity and achievable for most people.
I find the instructions quite easy to understand, I do however have sewing experience for soft toys and home furnishings. The instructive pictures help the clarity of the written instructions.
There are even useful websites in the back to help you find the matching fabrics.
This book is defiantly worthy of its shelf space, a keeper.
By a Book Depository customer 10 Dec 2008
"This book is without a doubt an extremely delicious eye candy but the instructions and illustrations are a real pain. I wanted to do the bag and I had to read it many many times before I could even begin to understand it. Even my husband who builds computer can't make head or tails of the instructions (that's how desperate I got). Sewing isn't rocket science but reading (as opposed to just looking) this book felt like it. If it wasn't for the pictures, I'd give this book 1 star for effort. I wish people who write craft books would just understand that the instructions they write need to be well crafted too."

Glitter Gradient Nail Tutorial
After getting my glitter OPI nail polish from the Burlesque Glitter collection, I had to decide what to do with the nail polish. Naturally, I couldn't let all that crazy glitter go to waste. What was the best way to showcase these obscenely glittery nail polishes? Well, after seeing several glitter gradient nails including Ling's, I decided to do the same. The entire procedure is rather simple yet the results are absolutely fantastic. Because good things must be shared, here are the steps to my glitter gradient nail tutorial.
What you need for this nail tutorial:
– base coat
– a nude/pale pink nail polish
– fine holographic glitter nail polish
– black nail polish
– top coat
Lastly, the star of the show: OPI Burlesque Glitter Collection nail polish.
You can choose to use whatever colour glitter you want for the tips but I picked Simmer and Shimmer for this look cause I was inspired by Adam Lambert's awesome blue glitter when I saw him at the F1 Rocks concert. The glittery blue eyeshadow and blue glitter in his hair was nothing but eye-catching. It was a glitter explosion yall! So, we're gonna invoke some of that glamness onto our nails with the Simmer and Shimmer OPI nail polish.
1) After applying your base coat and the pale pink nail polish to all your nails, dab the black nail polish onto the tips of your nails. You dont have to be neat about this step because in the next step, you'll cover the black nail polish with glitter. At the end, you'll realise black polish on the edges help to intensify the glitter gradient nail.
2) Now comes the fun part. Starting from the middle of your nail, spread a thin layer of glitter all the way to the nail tip. Be as light handed as you can for this first layer and dont be afraid if the polish looks thin. The next couple of layers will sufficiently make up for the lack of sparkly.
3) Once the first layer is slightly dry, paint your second coat, focusing the Simmer and Shimmer glitter on the part of the nail with the black nail polish. Sweep a third layer of OPI nail polish just at the nail tips to really pack the glitter at the ends. What I really like about glitter gradient nails is the fact that you never have to be neat! Hahaha!
4) To fully complete the glam glitter experience, apply a layer of fine holographic glitter generously over the entire nail. I used a $2 Daiso glitter nail polish before painting a shiny top coat to seal everything in. Once you're done with these steps, draw up your darkest eyeliner and say hello to Glambertness!
Sounds simple enough? Ready, get set, glam up your nails!
