A sheriff in southwest Florida has fired four veteran deputies for violating general orders and policy by shirking their official duties.
According to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, the men intentionally concealed their patrol vehicles and disconnected agency-required GPS tracking devices. They would then allegedly leave their assigned areas and go home or to other locations.
The deputies did respond to calls when they were dispatched, but failed to initiate any law enforcement action for hours at a time. One of the deputies is also accused of watching a movie while on the clock, according to police.
"These deputies, by their intentional actions, essentially cheated the taxpayers out of well over $24,600 during the time of the investigation, which was from July 1, 2011, to December 31, 2011," Gualtieri said. "We believe our findings are a snapshot of what was going on for a longer period of time. This is behavior that will not be tolerated, and they are being held accountable."
Two other deputies received suspensions for similar activities. Charges against a seventh deputy, who had been named in the original investigation, were unsubstantiated.

Have you ever been in a team meeting, made a bunch of updates to your project plan, and then wanted to know later which tasks you had actually updated? A coworker emailed me with this scenario today and I decided that the solution deserved a blog post.
There are 2 steps to this solution.
Step 1: In the meeting, before you start making updates to the project plan, insert the Flag1 column. (If you are already using this column, any flag field will do.) Then as you update a task, set the value to Yes.
Step 2: To now see all of the tasks that you have updated, go to Project - Filtered For: - More Filters - New. Name the new filter, Tasks that have Changed. Set the Field Name to Flag1, Test to equals, and Value to Yes. Click OK to save the filter. Now select the filter from the dialog and click Highlight. This, instead of filtering out the tasks where flag1 isn't set to yes (which would have happened if you had clicked Apply), just highlights the tasks where flag1 is yes so you can still see them in relation to the rest of the project plan.
You can use the highlight filter anywhere that you would use a regular filter. It is best used when you want to filter on a certain criteria but also want to be able to see the entire project plan.
Does this only work with MSProject 2007? We still have 2003 and I would love to be able to get this information.
Thank you.
This does work in 2003. You can follow the exact same steps that I describe above.
This has occured more than once in my experience. I started insertin the Flag1 column 2 years ago and have never missed updated tasks. But I like the flitering suggestion that sets Flag1 to "yes". This will be my next step which wil save a lot of time.
Thanks for your help.
This is a "good idea but..."
Just as Prj already contains "Date Created", it should also have a "Date Touched". This field would be updated whenever the task is modified directly (such as a change to the duration or a new resource assignment, etc.) but *also* whenever it is changed because of, for example, a change to a predecessor which, because of a predecessor/successor link, forced a change.
I know that it is possible to view the constraints (in P2007) that had an impact on scheduling a task but that's not really quite what I have in mind for a "post updating" review that we're talking about here.
This is awesome, you just saved me an hour out of my day trying to track changes. Thanks,
This is wonderful!
I really love it.
Wish MR.Heather O'Cull and yours all the best

Hi Ralph,
I don't have a 32" cutter so I have to use the art store's cutter. Most stores in my area don't have cutters available for customers to use for fear of being sued by clients losing fingers. Pre-cut is so easy. BTW, great to see you posting again. Missed ya when you were absent. Best wishes for your health Ralph.

It's a skill, maybe even an art, that some of us simply hasn't mastered yet. I rarely cut my own because it generally take too long, has to be re-done once or twice, and never looks quite as clean as professionally cut mats. Besides, I'm space-constrained and just don't have the room for cutting mat. I totally understand why some people opt for pre-cut!
Late last year I bought myself a used mat cutter.
Using it reliably and relatively effortlessly is definitely a learned skill - at least I hope it will be.
I do like, however, being able to cut a mat to the size and aspect ratio that best suits the individual photograph.
Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!
Ansel Adams, from the introduction to The Negative - The New Ansel Adams Photography Series / Book 2
I use a Dexter mat cutter and a 16" straight edge. Simple and cheap.
Good info I will be using soon. precut mats are so expensive in stores. btw are 4ply mats a bit too thin? or ok for a temporary installation lasting 2-3 days?

I usually use 4 ply and think they're fine. The cheap ones you get with frames or at craft stores are 2 ply or less, so the 4 ply look better than that at least. I have a hard time cutting 8 ply myself.
flickr stream - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ewf_photography/
4 ply ones are pretty much "standard". All mine are 4 ply - some are single matted, some are double matted.
Develop, stop, fix.... wait.... where's my film?
I highly recommend FramingSupplies.com.
I have worked with them for several years. They custom cut my matts on the board of my choice and ship them to me here in Atlanta.
(Just to be sure, I have no financial relationship with them, other than sending them about $100 a month!)

I'll add to the endorsement of Frame Destinations. I have visited their shop and been given a tour. They are very very good and Mark is a class act. The mat cutting machines are something to see. They can do basically anything.
I have no doubt that the other vendors mentioned and endorsed by others are also good, too; in all fairness. But Frame Destinations is a sponsor of APUG, as well as a supplier.
And PS: Ralph, I do cut my own, but it is a learned skill and requires the proper tools.

[url removed, login to view] needs icons! Attention graphic artists and designers! My website is in need of some small icons for 6 categories! The website is a youth sports, fitness, and wellness site that advocates for "daily" physical education and activity. These icons will serve as "badges" or "awards" for students that meet various criteria.
This contest is for all 6 badges. Each badge does not need to be super detailed, but should represent each category well. I will also include our website's logo which should guide you in creating the icons, because the center of the site logo is an example of the icons I am looking for. Also, feel free to visit the site to get an idea of the kind of program that we are.
As far as colors go, please refer to our main logo, and website. You can use other colors, but I hope to keep some uniformity across all of the icons, if possible.
"Fuel" This badge will be given to students who bring healthy lunches and snacks to camp. "Healthy" will be defined by several servings of fruits and vegetables.
"MVP" This badge is called our "most valuable player" and will be given to students that are able to show a high level of skill and ability in one or more sports or activities. I like the idea of the text, in capitals,"MVP" being a part of this logo. It is a well-known phrase in sports.

Wimbledon 2003

Drysdale led ATP in 1973 walkout
By Cliff Drysdale
Special to ESPN.com
Editor's note: In 1973, the ATP led by then president Cliff Drysdale boycotted Wimbledon, pulling out the morning play was to begin. Almost 80 players, including 13 of 16 seeds, withdrew. Today, the ATP is considering another walkout if an agreement cannot be reached with the four major tournaments.
I don't think there's a lot of difference between the situation in 1973 and today's confrontation between the ATP and the four major tournaments. It wasn't about money 30 years ago; it was about control of the game. It was making decisions in a professional way and not being under control of amateur officials.
Today, it sounds and looks like it is about money, and if that's all it's about, I'm against it. But I don't think that's what it's all about. The ATP is saying that the Slams contribute a much lower percentage of their total budget to player compensation than other tournaments. So they want the compensation to be greater. Again, that makes it sound like a purely prize money issue. What I'd like to see is the upgrading of tennis tournaments and the game generally in the rest of the world, especially in countries that do not host a Slam.
What it's about is the Slams' obligation and understanding that the health of the ATP tour, and tennis generally, directly affects the majors. They need to understand their obligation to help the rest of the game because they make a lot of money. To me, this means piggybacking the Slams with more viable annual yearlong television schedule, and making sure that the profits from the Slams get distributed worldwide and not just in four countries.
The boycott in 1973 was about national associations being able to control their players, which was crazy. The week after the Wimbledon walkout, it was changed. If it had been done two weeks earlier, then there never would have been any Wimbledon walkout.
The question then was very cut and dried, and virtually every player agreed with the ATP position. And my sense is that the solidarity between players is about the same now. So the threat is real as it was then.
However the ATP is talking to the USTA as the U.S. Open is the next slam. My feeling is there will be a compromise because the USTA is the most pragmatic and forward-looking Slam.
The public reacted to the players very negatively then, and there's no way they could win the PR battle then and they won't win it now. But it's worth the risk.

Summary of IT Savvy
What Top Executives Must Know to Go from Pain to Gain
Harvard Business Review Press, 2009 more...
Summarized by permission of Harvard Business Press
Copyright 2009 Peter Weill and Jeanne W. Ross
Pages: 128
Your IT system is a crucial component of your business strategy, yet most strategists don't really know how to use it.
This useful book is clearly written and sharply focused; it stays right on message. As its subtitle indicates and its writing style reflects, executives are its target audience. Peter Weill and Jeanne W. Ross, researchers at the MIT's Sloan School of Management, provide the data leaders need to manage, fund and update their IT programs – information they gathered during field research at more than 1,000 companies. They sketch broad concepts, but don't shy away from a high level of abstraction. You may have to do some additional work before making decisions about realigning your IT structures, but this will position you to know what to consider. getAbstract recommends this book to every executive, since all top managers now must learn to thrive in an increasingly digital world and to understand information technology (IT) strategy. It will also assist IT specialists who must work with managers who are still building their strategic know-how for the digital age.
In this summary, you will learn
- What IT savvy is
- Why being IT savvy is essential for your business
- How you can improve your use of IT
About the Authors
Peter Weill chairs MIT's Sloan School of Management's Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) and is the co-author of Enterprise Architecture as Strategy and Place to Space. Jeanne W. Ross is the director of CISR and former editor-in-chief of MIS Quarterly Executive. They also co-wrote IT Governance.

Sorry this took so long but here are a few pics.
Ok every thing listed in the above post but not the wireless keyboard mouse combo and an IR Man, DS Customs pop out 5.6inch screen and a Pioneer DEH-P825. I would like to sell the case, Opus, drive bay, and cd drive. $400 I need to sell this NOW. I never got to install this so items are in like new condition.

I could not find anything to mesure the case right now but it is about 14x8x6. The opus is 150w but I would like to sell it as one unit. $350 Needs to go NOW
Thanks for looking.
Would you consider an offer on just the mobo and ram?

There is no question but that the PhotoWarehouse 125 ASA film is better than JancC 400 for expansion and contraction. But the low EFS is quite limiting for me when working with the 12X20. I tend to make most of my negatives in low lighting and often get pushed into reciprocity.Originally Posted by Jorge
I have found the JandC 400 film to have an effective film speed of a full two stops more than the PW 125 film and with regular processing in Pyrocat-HD it is capable of contraction development up to at least SBR 9 and for expansion down to SBR 6. And if you need lower you can selenium tone down for slightly more CI.
The new HP5+ is slightly better than JandC 400 for both expansion and contraction, but it is also a lot more expensive, at least from the sources with which I am familiar.
In any event if you really need the extra two stops of speed JandC 400 is a very useful film to have on hand.

Mathew Bender on CD-ROM
Griffith, Cary, Information Today
Today virtually every legal publisher in the industry has either already produced a CD-ROM product, is contemplating one, or at the very least is keeping abreast of the marketplace. And it is easy to understand why. Many areas of the law are particularly well suited to CD-ROM publication. Several publishers have already produced CD-ROM versions of legal treatises, federal and state case law, statutes and regulations, legal directories, and other primary and secondary legal materials. But no other legal publisher has made available the same number of legal CD-ROM titles as Matthew Bender.
Matthew Bender has been in the legal publishing business for many years. They publish a wide assortment of legal treatises in several areas of the law, including federal civil practice, bankruptcy, and intellectual property. Some of their better known titles include: Bender's Federal Tax Service, Moore's Federal Practice, Collier on Bankruptcy, Nimmer on Copyright, Milgrim on Trade Secrets, and Giison--Trademark Protection and Practice.
Print versions of the preceding titles, as well as several other well known titles, have been published by Matthew Bender for several years. But in the last couple of years they have begun to make these titles available in CD-ROM format.
In addition to the preceding Matthew Bender (MB) titles, MB also publishes a CD-ROM version of several other well know treatises. Table 1 lists those titles, along with the number of volumes in the print format.
Even though Table 1 notes that several titles may reside on one disc, Matthew Bender can limit user access to only those titles to which the user has subscribed. For example, even though the Intellectual Property Library contains 10 titles (comprising 31 printed volumes), if a user subscribes to Nimmer on Copyright, they will receive the disk containing the entire Intellectual Property Library, but only be able to search and use Nimmer.
Matthew Bender is another example of a major legal publisher making many of their print products available in CD-ROM format. There are several reasons for MB's use of CD-ROM technology. These reasons fall into four major groups: information density, enhanced research capabilities, enhanced document production capabilities, and ease of updating.
CD-ROM formats of legal information provide legal researchers with some very powerful capabilities. One of the primary strengths of CD-ROM is the amount of information that can be contained on one disc. With CD-ROM technology it is possible to store approximately 600 megabytes, or 300,000 typed pages of text, on one 4 3/4 inch disk. In comparison, a 5 1/4 inch magnetic floppy disk (like those most often used on IBM compatible personal computers (PCs) holds approximately 270 typed pages.
For several MB titles, the information storage capabilities of CD-ROM technology are particularly useful. For example, the print version of Bender's Federal Tax Service consists of "18 volumes of expert analysis, Code, regulations, tax tables" and similar federal tax information, as well as their state tax services. The CD-ROM version consists of one disc. The comparative ease of handling a single disk instead of 18 volumes is obvious, not to mention the savings in shelf space.
One of the most powerful features of CD-ROM technology is its computer assisted research capabilities. Generally speaking, these research capabilities include the Boolean research features similar to those available on today's online services--like Lexis, Westlaw, Dialog and others. Enhanced CD-ROM features also usually include hypertext capabilities, or the ability to move from point to point in a research session with tremendous ease, flexibility, and power.
The search and retrieval engine for MB's CD-ROM products is Search Master. For CD-ROM products search and retrieval engines (or the software that is loaded onto the PC to which the CD-ROM drive is attached) is extremely important. …

Investment recommendation: Sierra Wireless announced an agreement
to sell substantially all of the assets and operations related to its AirCard
business to NETGEAR for $138M in cash and approximately $6.5M in
assumed liabilities. Management expects the transaction to close in
March 2013. Sierra will retain its AirPrime embedded module and core
M2M business units. We believe the $100M of net proceeds provides
Sierra with significant financial resources and capacity to focus on its
higher-margin M2M business and expand its leading M2M product
portfolio. We reiterate our BUY rating and $14 price target.
Investment highlights
? Sierra Wireless announced preliminary 2012 results with sales of
$644M, in-line with our $643 estimate. Embedded laptop module sales
of $14M and implied M2M sales of $95M were slightly above our
$13.3M/$92.6M estimates. Management will provide additional
financial details on the retained businesses on February 6.
? We believe this transaction supports our thesis for consolidation of the
fragmented but strong growing M2M market. Given Sierra's strong track
record of successfully integrating its Airlink, Wavecom, and Sagemcom
acquisitions to grow the M2M franchise, we believe Sierra can
successfully use the $100M in proceeds to profitably grow its M2M
business faster than our 16% M2M hardware market revenue CAGR.
Please see our M2M industry report published November 5 titled
"Overview of investment opportunities in burgeoning M2M market" for
additional detail about growth drivers in the M2M market.
? While we anticipate the transaction will be dilutive to our 2013 pro
forma EPS estimates, we believe the $100M in additional cash and the
increased focus on growing its M2M franchise positions Sierra for much
stronger long-term earnings growth.
Valuation: Our $14 price target is based on shares trading at roughly
14x our 2013 pro forma EPS estimate.

The Industrialisation of Soviet Russia Volume 6: The Years of Progress
The Soviet Economy, 1934-1936
|Publication Date
|July 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (PDF) Ebook (EPUB)
|Palgrave Macmillan
This volume, based on extensive research in formerly secret archives, examines the progress of Soviet industrialisation against the background of the rising threat of aggression from Germany, Japan and Italy, and the consolidation of Stalin's power. The iron and steel industry expanded rapidly, new non-ferrous and rare metals were introduced, and the foundations were laid of a modern armaments industry. Following the disastrous famine of 1932-33, agriculture recovered, and sufficient grain stocks were accumulated to cope with the shortages after the bad weather of 1936. These successes were achieved, after the abolition of rationing by combining central planning and mobilisation campaigns with the use of economic incentives and experimentation with markets. Although the Soviet system ultimately failed, its success in these years was a crucial stage in the spread of the economic and social transformation which began in England in the eighteenth century to the rest of the world.

SSH-FTP using J2SSH api - Authentication issue!
Swaminathan Natarajan

Jan 06, 2010 04:00:01
We are trying to perform SSH-FTP between two Solaris machine A & B using
Public-key authentication
method. For this, we have created two key files private & public keys (identity & identity.pub respectively) using ssh-keygen tool.
We have logged in using two different users in both the servers namely User-A in machine A and User-B in machine B for this operation. This public key (identity.pub) has been placed under the .ssh folder (in User-B's work folder) in machine B in the name authorized_keys.
we have the following questions regarding this:
1) can we use two different usernames (User-A & User-B) in both the Solaris machines for the FTP?
2) Do we need to have same version of SSH version in both the machines? Bcos we have the following versions in both the machines.
Machine A:
Sun_SSH_1.1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
Machine B:
SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0p1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
3) while creating the key files, which one we have the use w.r.to the above version of SSH? Either rsa, dsa or rsa(1)?
Apart from this while trying to transfer the file, machine B is not authenticating machine A and hence throwing the following error:
INFO: Loading private key formats
Jan 6, 2010 3:10:36 PM com.sshtools.j2ssh.transport.publickey.SshPrivateKeyFile parse

Childhood Confidential
Coen, Stephanie, American Theatre
They are icons--perhaps the most beloved icons--in the field of classic literature for young adults: Louisa May Alcott, L.M. Montgomery and Frances Hodgson Burnett. The awkward, unformed years of our collective childhoods are made infinitely more palatable by the books that they bequeathed to us: Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden and others.
But even icons need shaking up every once in a while, and a sudden proliferation of productions that take on these authors from new angles seems sure to do just that. The Sweet Revenge of Louisa May, a musical fashioned from Alcott's little-known Gothic stories, debuts at Maryland's Olney Theatre through Oct. 23. The Wooden Hill, a memory play inspired by Montgomery's journals, premieres at the Canadian Stage Company in Toronto through Oct. 22. Sara Crewe, based on a fairly obscure story that eventually became Burnett's A Little Princess, takes the stage of the Seattle Children's Theatre through Oct. 29.
What all three productions have in common--besides their natural links to strong, turn-of-the-century women writers is how they reveal new facets of their authors. Alcott's Gothic thrillers, for instance, are filled with heroines who smoke opium and hashish, stalwart heroes who are forced to compete with their own evil fathers and, in classic melodramatic fashion, storms that rage at sea. As critic Madeline Stern points out, they are precisely the kinds of "sensation stories" Alcott's Jo wrote for the Weekly Volcano--not what we expect from the author of Little Women.
Orphans and mad scientists
The Sweet Revenge of Louisa May began its journey to the stage 10 years ago, when designer Bill Schroeder gave playwright Burton Cohen copies of Alcott's Behind the Mask and Plots and Counterplots. Cohen decided to turn the "blood-and-guts, amazingly convoluted" stories into a play, and set about developing the piece with director Jack Going at theatres from Alaska Repertory Theatre in Anchorage, Alaska to the Whole Theater in Montclair, N.J. Eventually Cohen joined forces with composer Stephen Hoffman and lyricist Mark Campbell turn it into a musical--which Going is directing at the Olney, with set and costume design by the man who started it all, Bill Schroeder.
Cohen's book--which takes Alcott's characters literally all over the map, from Cuba to England to Louisiana to Saratoga Springs, N.Y.--is a hybrid of Alcott and his own reimaginings of her stories. There are two interrelated plots: one a love quadrangle complete with passion denied, lovers scorned, revenge exacted and two deadly falls from a cliff; the other the story of an orphan heiress locked in a sanitarium beset by a mad scientist.
The Sweet Revenge of Louisa May marks the sixth collaboration between Hoffman and Campbell, and their fourth with musical director David Loud. Written and composed in a heightened, 19th-century, grand-operatic style that recalls Leonard Bernstein's music for Candide, it is gleefully over-the-top, with Hoffman writing against what he calls his usual "more delicate, introverted musical style" and Campbell's lyrics a veritable cornucopia of rhyme, alliteration and metaphor. "It's very easy to make fun of these stories," the lyricist admits. "The difficult thing well, it wasn't difficult for us, because we love and believe in it so much--is not to make it camp. The characters' emotions should outsize the proscenium."
Few happy endings
"She had a dreadful life. She was a depressive, she was married to a manic-depressive Presbyterian minister who believed he was eternally damned it was probably the worst marriage in the history of Canadian literature--and her whole life was just a constant battle to stay afloat emotionally."
That's playwright Don Hannah's account of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Canadian author whose Anne of Green Gables series may be one of the most affecting depictions of childhood and adolescence ever published. …

I am using Mocha and Factory_girl in a JRuby rails application. When I call the factory I would like to return the objects with some mocking already done. Here is a code snippet of what I am trying to do.
Factory.define :tweet_feed_with_tweets, :parent => :tweet_feed do |t|
Because I do not want my unit and functional test to actually pull from the twitter API i want to stub the method so it returns what I want. But, this is not working. The object comes back without any stubbing done. Is there a way to actually have stubbing performed on an object created with factory girl before it gets returned to you?

If the SEC's top prez can't do it, no one can
Matt Hayes
Talk about it in the collegefootball Message Boards
He sure talked a big game, God bless him. A new direction, a defining philosophy, a revitalized road map for the 21st century.
Unfortunately, this is what it looked like last week when Bernie Machen, Florida's big-talkin', sky-walkin' president, eventually skulked out of the principal's office:
"I am now persuaded," Machen said postmortem, "that the best way to work is to try to proceed within the BCS structure."
See Bernie pound his chest about a national playoff. See Bernie hold his hat in his hands.
We had Sporting News spies in the conference room at the SEC meetings (read: principal's office), and this is how the momentous occasion played out.
Machen: "Gentlemen, college football is in dire need of a playoff."
Eleven other SEC presidents: "No."
And there you have it, everyone. Your national playoff is dead. Forever.
If the most powerful president in the most powerful conference in college sports can't spark change, who can? I actually felt sorry for the poor guy. In a matter of hours, his grand plan to right the wrongs of the world turned to complete, utter capitulation in the face of reality.
Media: "Uh, Bernie, didn't you describe this as your mission?"
Machen: "I actually voted for the national playoff before I voted against it."
This, however, is what I can't get my mind around: The very public results of this closed-door brouhaha had all the impact of North Texas and Southeastern Louisiana agreeing to play a home-and-home.
No one cared.
No expose from the Worldwide Leader. No calls from blowhard activists insinuating that university presidents refuse to agree to a playoff because a playoff would generate more revenue and more revenue would mean players better get paid. If there's a playoff, there must be a payoff.
For all the yapping and yammering about the broken system, we've heard barely a peep from the silent majority (coaches and athletic directors) about the most significant -- and failed -- pitch made by someone with clout.
On the other side of the spectrum, NCAA president Myles Brand was at the Women's College World Series, where he addressed, of all things, a football playoff.
"The NCAA's role in it," Brand said, "is to be supportive of the schools and the conferences for whatever it is they decide to do."
Let me translate: My bosses are the university presidents; whatever they say, I do.
Look, this thing is bigger than all of us. Bigger than the most powerful president in the most powerful conference in college sports. Bigger than my faithful pen pal BigTex, who can't seem to understand why something so simple as an eight- or 16-team national playoff can't be whipped up and spread out.
Hey Girlyman:
If you media boys would stop making excuses for those money-hungry fools that run college football, maybe we'd have ourselves a playoff. Maybe one day, you'll sack up.
Or get kicked there like Bernie did.
