The platform, One by AOL, will combine several programmatic platforms, including Adap.tv, AdLearn Open Platform, and Marketplace.
AOL has unveiled plans for a programmatic advertising platform for brands, agencies, and publishers called One by AOL.
The platform, which is currently in development, will include the integration of several of AOL Networks' programmatic platforms, including Adap.tv, which provides buyers and sellers with automated tools to plan, buy, measure, and optimize across linear TV and digital video; AdLearn Open Platform, a programmatic mobile and display platform that allows advertisers and agencies to manage, optimize, and analyze online marketing campaigns from one central platform in real time; and Marketplace, a programmatic mobile and display platform that AOL says delivers online publishers more demand stability and liquidity and maximizes the value of their non-reserved inventory.
AOL says the platforms will combine to create a cross-screen, cross-format, and global programmatic ad platform that will "drive powerful brand insight and action across all screens, including TV, formats, and inventory types."
One will be sold as an enterprise solution and will also be used by AOL as its dedicated programmatic platform.
Customers will be able to start using portions of the platform later this year, AOL says.
AOL chief executive (CEO) Tim Armstrong and Bob Lord, CEO of AOL Platforms, announced the creation of One during a keynote at ad:tech San Francisco 2014.
In addition, Matt Seiler, global CEO of IPG Mediabrands, announced IPG Mediabrands plans to be the charter agency network partner for One as it plans to deliver 50 percent automation to its North American buying process by 2016, with international markets to follow.
That means any publication IPG has a relationship with could use this platform to make a decision on every impression that comes in and use that data to decide which ads to show to which consumers, says Toby Gabriner, president of Adap.tv.
According to AOL, One will be the first platform that empowers brands with a holistic view of the consumer's journey through the marketing funnel and makes that insight actionable in real-time.
The platform will take media planning and management "to a new level," with predictive analytics that provide insight on metrics like reach, frequency, and performance, as well as post-campaign insights that look across all screens and formats to deliver immediate impact on brand metrics, AOL says.
One is format-, screen-, and inventory-agnostic - from video, display, and TV to tablet, desktop, and mobile devices and to reserved and non-reserved inventory across AOL or any other publisher or media source, AOL says.
"Over the last five, six years, [AOL] has amassed quite a number of technology assets or programmatic assets from display and mobile, most recently with the acquisition of Adap.tv, and we're combining all of these under one umbrella such that now we're able to connect all of these different platforms into a single platform," Gabriner says. "The idea for this platform is to manage the customer all the way through that [entire marketing] funnel and understand the attribution of various media investments along that funnel."
According to Gabriner, the way in which media is bought and sold is still fairly manual and it is the last major industry that hasn't adopted automation and tools.
Plus, fragmented audiences make it difficult to manage. One will allow agencies to manage their entire media investment in a single platform.
According to Gabriner, this will result in efficiencies in how they operate as well as increase efficacy of campaigns, as campaign managers can be smarter about moving dollars among channels depending on performance, which can happen in real time.
"Our industry has developed too many niche offerings and specialized services over the last 25 years, and chaos in ad tech is at an all-time high. The inefficiencies, ineffectiveness, and expense of managing multiple teams, tools, and metrics for display, mobile, and video, across all devices, are stifling," Bob Lord, CEO of AOL Platforms, echoes in a statement.
"The Holy Grail of marketing is helping marketers understand how direct-response and brand budgets can interact together. With the goal of driving economic efficiencies and media effectiveness, One ensures that data drives media selection and allocation, pricing, and creative. It is the integrator of media across every screen and the automator of decisions that have long not needed human attention. I believe a platform like One - that is open and that doesn't discriminate - will win," Lord adds.
AOL says it is also renaming its technology division AOL Networks as AOL Platforms to "better explain its sophisticated platform offerings to marketers, agencies, and publishers."

Is that an Epic Doom Cannon on the dorsal side near the stern?
if i knew wat that meant i would so be looking there right now
A little bundle of hyped up fury. The Talos is an escort or light cruiser, bridging the gap between Destroyers and proper cruisers like the Marathon and Halcyon.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Alexi Amarista had two hits and drove in a run, Eric Stults combined with three relievers on a six-hitter and the San Diego Padres defeated the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Wednesday night.
Stults (6-13) allowed one run in five innings, struck out five and walked one. The Dodgers came into the game with a 20-10 record against left-handed opponents, but Stults did just enough against the team he pitched for from 2006-09.
Kevin Quackenbush pitched the ninth to earn his first major league save. He started a 1-2-3 putout to end the game.
Rymer Liriano went 2 for 3 with a walk and two runs scored, and Seth Smith went 2 for 5 for the Padres, who pounded out 11 hits in ending a two-game skid.
Roberto Hernandez (7-9) gave up four runs and eight hits in five innings.

[UPDATE: September 6th, 2011] The Beta review period for SCM2 ended August 31st, 2011 (and the download is no longer available). We've been working on stabilizing the build and meeting release requirements. Look for the RTW of SCM2 on September 15th, 2011.
Hello world! I know a lot of you have been waiting for us to update the SCM v2 CTP (because I see your daily emails!) - well that was the point of the CTP after all, to get people excited about SCM v2. You lucky people! The SCM v2 Beta is now ready for you!
Just like the CTP, the only way to download the Beta of SCM v2 is with a LiveID via Microsoft Connect. You may or may not have to register with our program on MS Connect - it depends if your LiveID has already registered. When in doubt, it doesn't hurt to attempt to register a second time. Please follow these steps in sequence or it won't work!
If this fails, please drop us a line. But, before you email I beg you to try the above steps at least 3 times. Please please. MS Connect sometimes behaves strangly - not my fault - I swear.
We decided to combine the Beta for SCM v2 with 4 new Microsoft Baselines we have to share. Here's the best news - you get it all in one download. The Microsoft Baselines are now *included* in the SCM v2 Beta package (Security_Compliance_Manager_Setup.exe). Pretty cool, eh? Just download the SCM v2 Beta (above) and you'll get all of these baselines. I've put an asterisk (*) by the ones which are new/Beta:
Our installer has increased from ~18MB in the CTP to ~29MB in the Beta. We think you will find the larger download worth it and a better overall experience with the baselines being included (more about that later), but let us know what you think.
You can submit bugs to the SCM engineering team via Connect -or- you can use the feedback link within the SCM v2 Beta:
I've worked at Microsoft 14 years now, 10 years of that spent in the Windows group. I know we sometimes have a bad rep on upgrades - but I want to assure you that the SCM team took upgrades very seriously. I think you will be impressed.
If you have SCM v1.x or SCM v2 CTP installed, we will upgrade the application and all of your data will be preserved. Under the covers we will upgrade our SQL schema to SCM v2. You should find this seamless. If you notice any difficulties here, please don't hesitate to let us know!
As you may have noticed in the SCM v2 CTP, we added a new feature during setup which doesn't require SQL Express to be installed during setup - we support existing instances of SQL (any flavour). This allows you to make a choice - before installing SCM v2 Beta do I get a version of SQL set up on my machine myself (ex: SQL 2008 Enterprise) or do I just allow SCM v2 Beta to install SQL Express? Up to you.
Here's what our Setup UI looks like when it finds a SQL instance on the local machine (yes, we only support LOCAL SQL instances for now):
When you hit 'Finish' on the final page of the installation wizard we will launch SCM v2 Beta automatically. When it opens it will go into its 'first use' mode. In this mode it will install the 10 Microsoft Baseline packages mentioned above. You will see progress during this import process. It is of course recommended that you don't cancel this operation and just let it do it's thang.
During setup the Microsoft Baselines are copied to a local folder:
As they are imported into SCM v2 Beta they are then removed from your disk. You can always re-download them from the Microsoft Download Center at a later time:
Well...it was bound to happen - we've updated the UI so it looks a little more 21st century and is (hopefully) easier to use and understand. Here is what the new start page looks like:
You can expand each of these six areas for more information:
In the SCM v2 Beta we did not have enough time to update the HELP file as much as we would have liked. As such a lot of new topics are missing (thus the extra effort on this helpful blog post) - and you will notice a lot of the links in this start page point to help content which is to be created. We will get this updated before the final release of SCM v2.
One of the biggest things we heard about the SCM v1 UI is it was simply hard to (figure out how to) use. We invested some time and energy all over the UI, but I want to focus your attention on the new setting grid.
You should notice immediately how this this looks and feels compared to v1. By default settings are grouped by horizontal bars which collapse and expand if you want to hide a group.
When you click on a setting (row), it will expand to show you information about that setting:
You can collapse this setting by clicking the collapse button on the far right. You'll notice that setting details are hidden by default. When expanded they look this this:
We've also tried to make it obvious that you can't modify a setting within a Microsoft read-only baseline - you must first duplicate the Microsoft baseline. A helpful link to do that is right in the setting area now:
We've also got some cool advanced features of the grid which we hid by default. The first is the 'UI Path breadcrumb bar;. Wow, that's a mouthful. This thing is cool. We took the idea from Windows Explorer when you are traversing paths in the file system. Use this breadcrumb bar to filter the settings in the grid by a specific UI Path. As you dig deeper into the UI Path, the list of settings in the grid will keep getting smaller and smaller. Useful if you're a GPEdit sort of person. Oh yeah, click the red X to eject.
The next three are fairly obvious and simple, but very useful.
We've heard a LOT of feedback that it is too difficult to extend / trim your customized baselines in SCM v1. As a stop-gap we created something called a 'Setting Pack'. This was a collection of settings without any Microsoft recommendations, but it was everything we knew about for a particular product (instead of just what MS recommends on). You could them 'merge' a setting pack with your desired baseline and start removing settings you didn't want. It was admittedly a mess - I won't deny it. We knew we needed to improve this.
Enter the new feature - ADD A SETTING. WOO-HOO! It is just as it sounds. When in one of your customized baselines, you'll find the option in the right-hand action pane:
Did I make that graphic big enough?? By the way, you won't see the add a setting feature when looking at a read-only Microsoft Baseline (hopefully for obvious reasons).
Here is the Add a Setting UI that I kindly wrote on with a crayon so I could describe the various areas of this lovely dialog:
Ah, this is pretty cool. We added multi-select delete!! Hit the SHIFT key plus the down arrow to multi-select then hit the DELETE key. BOOM! Get rid of those pesky settings you don't want. :)
*Setting packs are now hidden in the SCM v2 Beta as they are replaced by the ADD A SETTING feature.
GPO Import was the primary feature of the SCM v2 CTP, so many of you probably have already played with it. Here are some of the notable things that we did to it based specifically on CTP feedback. If you're one of the fine people who emailed us suggestions, you rock!
Preservation of all files in a GPO Backup. Wow! Yes, anything we can't parse for settings we will store and save. When you re-export back out to a GPO Backup, all these files will reappear. Pretty cool eh? Let's do a little exercise which will show off how this works and at the same time demonstrates how to import / export GPOs in SCM v2 Beta:
First, you have to have a GPO Backup folder if you want to import it. :) Usually you create these in the GPMC, although SCM itself is capable of creating GPO backups.
Here is a GPO Backup of IE9 where I have added a custom file to it with a cool name:
Now let's import this GPO into SCM and see what happens. Find the Import GPO over in the right-hand action pane:
I love how big that looks. Thank you Mark Russinovich for ZoomIt! So click that and a prompt will come up to ask you where to find the GPO Backup. We shall choose the one on my desktop where I added the custom file:
Don't ask me what is in the 'best stuff, ever' folder - cause I won't tell you. We will ask you what you want to name the GPO once import into SCM, and then it will appear in the left hand tree view:
Now that it is imported, let's see where SCM v2 Beta stored the custom file I added to the GPO Backup. I'll just do a quick search from 'the dark place':
C:\>dir "Jeff loves SCM v2.txt" /s Volume in drive C has no label.Directory of C:\Users\jeffsi\Desktop\{12765ac7-a112-41fd-8f5d-80834c6d76c8}\DomainSysvol\GPO\User06/21/2011 02:53 PM 0 Jeff loves SCM v2.txt
Directory of C:\Users\Public\Microsoft\Security Compliance Manager\24b988de-61d4-44c8-9d7c-8ec6192bd815\GpoData\DomainSysvol\GPO\User
06/21/2011 02:53 PM 0 Jeff loves SCM v2.txt
You'll see that SCM v2 Beta copied the GPO Backup to a folder in the \Public directory. You might ask why I bother showing you this. Well, besides being a guy who likes details like this and sharing them - people use things called ADM files and also these things called GP Preferences. Well, those things don't import into SCM. Now we preserve them for later export. Hope you like this!!
Other things we've improved in GPO Import:
Introducing the SCM Setting Library
This is a new concept in SCM that did not exist at all in SCM v1. This is the replacement for the 'setting pack' mentioned earlier. The SCM Setting Library is an area in the SCM database where we store every setting we know about, in every product we know about. The Microsoft Baselines contain only a subset of all these settings. This is how 'add a setting' and 'GPO Import' work - they looks things up in the SCM Setting Library.
So you see what version of the SCM Library you are using by looking at the About box in SCM v2 Beta:
If it has a version number that must mean it can be updated, right? You guessed right. Just like we release new Microsoft Baselines, updated Baselines - we will now be releasing updates to the SCM Setting Library. When let's say Windows 7 + 1 (you do the math) comes out, we will not only have new Microsoft Baselines, but we will publish all the new settings contained therein. We think this is a great way to do it.
Don't ask why the library has such a long version number. I will let that one remain a mystery.
LocalGPO is a hidden gem within SCM which a lot of people don't even know is there. It is a command-line tool produced by my team for importing/exporting GPOs to/from a local machine's configuration. It is highly useful when you want to build a reference machine and then take a snapshot of that configuration in the form of a GPO Backup. You can then import this into your AD or SCM.
Here's how you find / install it:
Who's that handsome guy on the start menu? After you install the SCM v2 Beta, you'll get this link in the start menu. You could also just go find the MSI in the file system:
We engineered this package separate from SCM on purpose. They don't depend on one another, and you can take this MSI all the way back to XP. That's part of what makes this tool so cool - you can use it outside of SCM.
Once installed, it will create a new link on your start menu -or- you can again just go to the folder on the disk:
Click that link and it will open the dark place. It will print the help for LocalGPO:
The command-line parameters are pretty self-explanatory, but I want to mention the new 'GPOPack' option and explain why we added it (it wasn't in SCM v1). SCM has a sister team named MDT - you may have heard of it. They produce the 'Microsoft Deployment Toolkit'. We were looking for very simple ways to allow a customer to apply a security baseline during installation of an install image - thus the 'GPOPack' was born.
Think of a 'GPOPack' created by LocalGPO like a self-extracting zip file. Everything you need to apply a GPO Backup to a machine is all self-contained in one folder. With one click or one line of script it will apply a GPO Backup - it's as simple as that. Since it's all self-contained you can copy it anywhere and not worry about dependencies or if it will run (because it work on XP forward). For a future version of MDT we are thinking of baking this into the 'task sequencer' as an available task.
Please do check out LocalGPO and give it a chance to wow you. In case you care and/or want to send me love, I wrote the LocalPol.exe tool in there. :)
Thanks for reading this far. Hope you love the SCM v2 Beta. We worked REALLY hard on it. As always, SCM and all of the lovely content (baselines) are free. If you'd like to make donations - no just kidding. Just enjoy it! :)
- jeff and the SCM v2 team
Awesome news!
Thanks Kurt! We're pumped. :) -jeff
Congratulations SCM team for more goodness !!
Great blog post Jeff! I can't wait to get into SCM v2 to start setting up our Windows 7 baseline.
Thanks Jason! We'd love to hear how it goes. Let us know! -jeff
Definitely cool! Cheer up!
Great apps, really enjoy it
When I install this on XPSP3 or 2003, I don't get the new SQL options. It keeps the old behavior of forcing SQL Express. Any ideas?
Well . . .. we don't officially support anything less than Win7 or Server 2008 - but I saw your email on this and asked my test team to install it and see what happens. If we have workarounds we will gladly provide them to you.
Hi Jeff
Is it a good idea to use this beta on our production server 2008 R2 or should we wait for the production release of version 2? Any known issues?
Has anyone had issues installing in a lab environment without Internet? I receive the error 1603.

With Wilson Ramos' injury history and a current backup plan of Chris Snyder and Jhonatan Solano, it would not be surprising to see the Nationals bring in another catcher to strengthen their depth at the position.
If that is their intention, one of the best remaining free agent catchers is about to be off the market.
John Buck is close to a deal with the Seattle Mariners, according to a report from FoxSports.com. The 33-year-old is ranked as the 30th best free agent still available by HardballTalk.com and is one of only two catchers left in their original top 150.
Mariners are making progress on a deal with free agent catcher John Buck. Agreement is "close," one source said.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) January 14, 2014
Buck split last year with the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates, batting .219 through 110 games with 15 home runs and 62 RBI. It was the best season he's posted since 2011 and one of the best of his career.
[RELATED: Nats promote Team USA ahead of 2014 Winter Olympics]
Buck is expected to sign a one-year deal to provide catching depth behind starter Mike Zunino. A former third overall pick, Zunino figures to get most of the playing time.
The catching market is quite thin without Buck in the mix, signaling the Nats may be content with Snyder and Solano as their backups.

Maybe those Republicans who put a high value on being accepted in elite circles should be embarrassed by the narrowness of their elite friends, who disdain or demonize people whose principles they disagree with, instead of answering their arguments.
There has even been an undercurrent among some Republicans of a sense that it is time to move away from the image of Ronald Reagan, to update the party and court newer and less embarrassing segments of the voters than their current base.
There is certainly a lot to be said for inviting wider segments of the population to join you, by explaining how your principles benefit the country in general, and those segments in particular. But that is fundamentally different from abandoning your principles in hopes of attracting new votes with opportunism.
No segment of the population has lost more by the agendas of the liberal constituencies of the Democratic Party than the black population.
The teachers' unions, environmental fanatics and the ACLU are just some of the groups to whose interests blacks have been sacrificed wholesale. Lousy education and high crime rates in the ghettos, and unaffordable housing elsewhere with building restrictions, are devastating prices to pay for liberalism.
Yet the Republicans have never articulated that argument, and their opportunism in trying to get black votes by becoming imitation Democrats has failed miserably for decades on end.
There seemed, for an all too brief moment, that Michael Steele might have been the one to provide such much overdue articulation-- and possibly he still might, but only if he stays out of the Republican trap of trying to appease opponents by throwing supporters to the wolves.

I awoke to Eminem blasting hours before dawn at Quantico Marine Base in Virginia. A fog of breath and sweat permeated the cold January air as I joined 104 other nervous lieutenants hauling gear to the classroom where we would receive our first instructions. With body armor, Kevlar, a rifle and a huge pack on my 5'3" frame, I must have looked like a child next to the buff guys assembling for Day 1 of the Marine Corps' Infantry Officer Course.
I was one of four women in the group, bringing the number to 14 female officers who had attempted the course since it was opened to women in the fall of 2012. All the women so far had failed -- all but one of them on the first day.
I wasn't thinking about that, though. I was excited to have a shot at the Marines' premier training course.
I'm typical of a Marine in that I've always sought out challenges. I flew my first solo flight when I was 15 and got my private pilot's license at 21. I've climbed 10 of the 14,000-foot peaks in my home state of Colorado. As an ice hockey goalie for more than a decade, I put myself in the path of pucks flying at 80 mph.
I expected that this, though, would be the toughest experience I'd ever encountered.
There's a lot of mystery surrounding the arduous 13-week course used to screen and train potential infantry officers. Past participants are asked not to talk about it, in order to preserve the uncertainty for future classes. So we lieutenants had little idea of what we were getting into.
Several hours into the test, I jogged past a lieutenant who was overcome with cramps and vomiting on the side of the road. The temperature hovered just above freezing. A blister bled on my foot and sweat poured down my face, yet I felt relatively good. I had completed all the tasks so far within the time allotted, and I was determined to make it to the end without showing any weakness. A packet of MRE cheese spread gave me new life. I shook frost from my uniform, threw my pack on my back, slung my rifle and jogged on through the woods.
But there came a point when I could not persuade my body to perform. It wasn't a matter of will but of pure physical strength. My mind wanted more, but my muscles quivered in failure after multiple attempts. I began to shiver as I got cold. I was told I could not continue.
That night I forced every step to be normal as I dragged myself -- weighed down by gear, disappointment and exhaustion -- back to the barracks. It was no consolation that 28 other lieutenants, including the other three women, failed along with me or that the Infantry Officer Course commonly drops 20 to 25 percent of each class. As I sat in my room, famished and waiting for pizza that seemed like it would never arrive, I reflected: Why did I fail?
The question matters because Marine leaders have been watching female participants like me to help them decide how to integrate women into units and positions whose primary mission is to engage in direct ground combat. The Marines have until Jan. 1, 2016, to request any exemptions from the Pentagon directive to open all combat roles to women. "If members of our military can meet the qualifications for a job -- and let me be clear, I'm not talking about reducing the qualifications for the job ... then they should have the right to serve," then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said when he rescinded the direct-combat exclusion rule last year.
Marine Sgt. Maj. Micheal Barrett, the senior enlisted adviser to the commandant, affirmed: "Our plan is deliberate, measured and responsible. We will not lower our standards."
My failed attempt at Quantico, and the fact that no woman has yet made it through the Infantry Officer Course, shouldn't be interpreted as evidence that women can't handle combat environments. To date, 13 female Marines have passed the two-month enlisted infantry training course at Camp Geiger in North Carolina. While that course is significantly less demanding than the one at Quantico, it is still grueling -- participants must lug 85-pound packs on 12-mile treks through the woods -- and it establishes the standard for enlisted warfighters.
Even more telling, on the front lines, where roles have already blurred, women have performed exceptionally well in traditionally male situations. Consider Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester. A Kentucky National Guard soldier, Hester was leading a team on a mission outside Baghdad in March 2005 when her convoy was attacked by insurgents. She orchestrated a counterattack with grenades and M203 rounds. The unit killed 27 insurgents, including three taken out by Hester with a rifle, and not a single soldier was lost. Hester became the first woman to receive a Silver Star since World War II.
So what's held women back in the Marines Corps Infantry Officer Course? I absolutely agree that we shouldn't reduce qualifications. For Marine infantry officers, mistakes mean risking the lives of the troops you are charged to protect. But I believe that I could pass, and that other women could pass, if the standards for men and women were equal from the beginning of their time with the Marines, if endurance and strength training started earlier than the current practice for people interested in going into the infantry, and if women were allowed a second try, as men are.
Female lieutenants aren't as prepared as male lieutenants for the Infantry Officer Course's tests of strength and endurance because they've been encouraged to train to lesser standards. Officer Candidates School, where all Marine officers start out, is segregated by sex. I was in an all-female platoon. We worked with the men on a few occasions but never competed with them. That was odd for me. As someone who grew up playing hockey on boys' teams, I was used to facing off with the guys.
The Basic School, where I reported after graduating from Bowdoin College, has long been co-ed. But physical double standards persist. In the Physical Fitness Test, for example, a male perfect score is achieved by an 18-minute three-mile run, 20 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups in two minutes. A female perfect score is a 21-minute three-mile run, a 70-second flexed-arm hang and 100 sit-ups in two minutes. There was a move to shift from arm hangs to pull-ups for women last year. Yet 55 percent of female recruits were unable to meet the minimum of three, and the plan was put on hold.
I understand not wanting to discourage new recruits. But dual standards highlight and foster differences in a way that undercuts the goal of integrated military units. Women aren't encouraged to establish the same mental toughness as men -- rather, they're told that they can't compete. Men, meanwhile, are encouraged to perceive women as weak. I noticed that women were rarely chosen by their peers for some of the harder tasks in basic training.
Yes, men have biological advantages in tests of upper-body strength. But women can do pull-ups if given enough time to build that strength. (I did 16 in my last physical fitness test, and I have no illusions that I'm the most qualified female Marine.) Recognizing biologically based advantages and disadvantages and developing training programs that work to balance them are key.
It would be especially helpful if the Marines allowed people to decide on an infantry career earlier and offered some infantry-oriented training earlier, too. Basic training doesn't include enough physical gruntwork under a combat load. More exercises such as running, jumping and climbing while wearing a flak jacket, Kevlar and a pack would help build strength and endurance. They would also help prevent injuries by increasing bone density. My class had only a month between the end of the Basic School and the start of the Infantry Officer Course. I wish there'd been more time to train to the endurance test's demands.
I also would have liked to have had the opportunity to try the course again. The Marine leadership has said it doesn't want female lieutenants taking the course multiple times, at least until combat positions are available to women, because it doesn't want to delay the rest of their training. Yet many of the men who failed alongside me in January are back at Quantico, training to retake the course in April.
They're more likely to pass the second time around. The course is designed to create young officers who thrive in an uncertain environment. Going into the endurance test, you don't know how far you'll have to go, what the obstacles will be or what time constraints will be imposed. The uncertainty makes the test overall much more difficult than any of its individual parts. Some of the details change for each new class. But the male lieutenants who have taken it before have an advantage in that they know generally what to expect.
For me, the next stop is Marine flight school in Pensacola, Fla. I've been told, though, that it will be 12 months before there will be an open slot. So reporting for Infantry Officer Training next month wouldn't have hurt my career.
I've always been taught that failure provides the greatest learning opportunities. My failed effort at Quantico has helped me better understand the needs of the Marines on the ground and will allow me to better support them in the future. At the same time, I love the Marine Corps philosophy that failure should never be viewed as permanent or representative; it is an opportunity to remediate. Marines cannot meet standards all the time. What do we do? We train until every Marine is competent. "No Marine joins the Corps to be a failure," Gen. James Amos has said. "We don't raise them up that way."
It's frustrating to me that there are still doubts about whether women are capable of handling combat environments. The women who have been awarded for their valor in combat, and the women who have died in combat for their country, have already answered the question about capability.
Now, instead of passively evaluating their performance, we need to figure out how to set women up to excel in infantry roles. My hope is that the Marine Corps will allow every Marine the opportunity to compete. And that when we fail, our failure is seen simply as a challenge to others to succeed.

continued Ellsworth, the story goes, told Lincoln he would bring the flag down. So across the Potomac he went. He and four others climbed to the top of the Marshall House and cut the flag down. Ellsworth was carrying the flag downstairs when Jackson fatally shot him. In turn, Col. Francis E. Brownell, of Troy, shot and killed Jackson. Brownell later was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Ellsworth had been a popular figure, Weible said. In death, "he became kind of a martyr." Lincoln ordered Ellsworth's body brought to the White House, where he lay in state in the East Room. The body was then taken to City Hall in New York and finally to the Capitol in Albany before Ellsworth was buried in the Hudson View Cemetery in Mechanicville.
It was rare in those days for a body to be put on public display, Weible said, so Ellsworth wound up being one of the first people ever embalmed.
The flag, meanwhile, was coveted, along with other mementoes related to the shooting. Today there are pieces of the flag housed at both the Smithsonian Institute and Bates College. But the bulk of the flag belongs to the New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center in Saratoga Springs, which has loaned it to the state museum.
The flag is part of what Weible called a "very ambitious exhibit" about the Civil War. Covering 7,000 square feet, it includes a brass slave collar, the only known portrait of Dred Scott and a number of other items from the collections of the state museum, library and archives. "An Irrepressible Conflict: The Empire State in the Civil War" will be on display until September of 2013. The flag will be on display until Feb. 24.

A glance at the eight who have interviewed for the Padres' general manager jobFour of the eight candidates to interview are likely to get second look from Padres
1Billy Eppler
Age: 38
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: New York Yankees
Why he'll get the job: Eppler, who grew up here and attended the University of San Diego High, has a well-rounded background that includes seven years as director of pro scouting for the Yankees. Serving as GM Brian Cashman's assistant has allowed him to learn about everything from player acquisition to management to contract negotiations.
Why he won't get the job: He is not accustomed to the day-to-day constraints facing a mid-market franchise.
Age: 38
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: Boston Red Sox
Why he'll get the job: Hazen, a Princeton grad who was a 31st-round selection by the Padres in 1998, has flourished in player development, San Diego's sorest need. His significant experience with organizational decision-making has been seen firsthand by Padres President and CEO Mike Dee, who worked with Hazen in Boston.
Why he won't get the job: In the interview room, Hazen could be one-upped by either Eppler or A.J. Preller, fellow young guns with advanced resumes of their own.
Age: 46
Job title: Senior vice president of baseball operations
Organization: Major League Baseball
Why she'll get the job: Ng has been a right-hand woman in New York and with the Dodgers and has gained a wealth of experience in her position in the commissioner's office.
Why she won't get the job: She has worked primarily in big-money markets that don't compare to the job description in San Diego. Ng has also interviewed for several GM jobs without landing the gig, leading some to wonder if owners are reluctant to hand over their baseball operations to a woman for the first time in major sports history.
Age: 36
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: Texas Rangers
Why he'll get the job: The Padres' baseball academy in the Dominican Republic opened six years ago — and has yet to produce a morsel of big-league impact. Enter Preller, a Cornell-educated Spanish speaker whose scouting successes have come from Latin America, in particular.
Why he won't get the job: Despite a universally respected eye for talent, Preller has worked in relative obscurity. In a GM role, his administrative and logistical skills would be tested.
5Larry Beinfest
Age: 50
Job title: Former president of baseball operations, Miami Marlins
Why he'll get the job: He was the first candidate interviewed by the Padres, the only one with a proven track record as a major league general manager, to say nothing of the cred he built as GM of a low-budget team ('03 Marlins) that won the World Series in his second season.
Why he won't get the job: Things went sideways when the Marlins got a new ballpark and began spending money on veteran talent that tanked. Are the Padres again willing to hire a GM who was fired?
Age: 44
Job Title: Scouting director
Organization: Arizona Diamondbacks
Why he'll get the job: A former player, Montgomery has worked his way up through the food chain on the player development side of baseball operations, which is exactly where the Padres need to focus their efforts to build a foundation for the organization.
Why he won't get the job: The only known candidate who has yet to serve in at least an assistant GM position, Montgomery might need another position in a front office before taking over.
Age: 36
Job title: Assistant general manager
Organization: San Diego Padres
Why he'll get the job: He's local, a product of La Jolla High. He's very smart, armed with both psychology and law degrees, and naturally knows more about the way the Padres operate than the other candidates.
Why he won't get the job: Stein was considered an obligatory interview. Before his recent promotion, he was the Padres' director of baseball ops since 2009. Given the current state of the franchise, that's not a ringing endorsement.
Age: 51
Job title: Vice president of amateur scouting
Organization: Los Angeles Dodgers
Why he'll get the job: The Dodgers have had nearly two dozen homegrown players reach the majors the past four years under White's leadership and the Padres desperately need someone who can produce similar results for them.
Why he won't get the job: Some have criticized his people skills, particularly with subordinates.
The Padres have looked near and far in their three-week search for a new general manager. Eight candidates have been interviewed. The new GM could be determined as soon as next week and is expected to be in place soon after the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Here's a glance at each of them, with emphasis on the four candidates who will likely receive a second look.

|A Comparison between the GCA/GATF off-press proof comparator and the GATF standard offset color control bar for identifying when a cromalin off-press proof is prepared to specification for web offset publication
|Breakstone, William F.
|Off-press proofing is a method of simulating the way a set of separation negatives or positives will look when printed without having to go to the printing press. In 1965, The Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF) developed a proofing control device for production Lithography. The Standard Offset Color Control Bar was also utilized for off-press proofing. In 1983, The Graphic Communications Association, in cooperation with GATF, introduced The Off-Press Proof Comparator. This control device was designed specifically for this technology and intended to be used by both technical and non-technical personnel with equal and successful results. This thesis is concerned with the accuracy of both proofing bars using the Du Pont Cromalin system of off -press proofing to determine whether one control bar is better for judging whether a proof is made correctly to SWOP standards. It is also concerned with whether one control bar is more versatile than the other for both technical or non-technical personnel to use. The experiment consisted of a total sample population of forty experts from four different fields of the graphic arts industry. These four groups represent technical and non-technical users. Each participant was asked to look at samples of each color bar and choose which sample was made to SWOP standards. The results were applied to statistical methods of evaluation to give a final result. The final results of this thesis support The Graphic Communications Association's claim that the Off-Press Proof Comparator in not only more accurate, but also more versatile for all members of the graphic arts community. The implications of this thesis are that a "master" comparative device can aid in evaluating if proofs are made correctly- A pictorial element is a helpful reference tool when used in conjunction with the "master" comparative device. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on viewing off-press proofs under corrected viewing conditions.

Here's why:
A Fig Grows in Chicago
No matter how cold it gets, the Chicago Hardy Fig Tree will never let you down. It's a Fig-yielding machine that can withstand some of the coldest winter temperatures Mother Nature can dish out. Also known as the Cold Hardy Fig, it can literally freeze over and still come back strong the following spring, producing bushels of plump, delicious figs.
Achieving heights of up to 30 feet, the Cold Hardy Fig can be trimmed to size and maintained as small as 6 feet high if desired. The large, three-fingered leaves offer a thick screen of lush greenery when left to flourish. Add to that the deep purple figs that provide a lovely visual accent and you have a stunning, functional tree that will enhance any planting location you choose.
This Tree really Gives a Fig—and then some!
As wonderful as the Chicago Hardy looks, the real prize is all the figs. The golf ball sized, richly colored fruit abounds. Slice one open and behold the juicy flesh of these high quality figs. Perfect for peeling and eating right off the tree in late summer to early fall, you'll be enjoying these amazing figs in your first season after planting. And the numbers may surprise you. Your Chicago Hardy will yield as many as 100 pints of figs each season!
These healthy, delicious treats can be used in a variety of ways to spruce up meals and desserts. Whether tossed into salads, added to oatmeal or wrapped in prosciutto for an unforgettable appetizer, your homegrown figs will always keep things interesting in landscape and kitchen alike.

Get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for 99 Pence in UK
Posted by Jason in Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Gaming Deals, QuickNews on October 20th, 2011
GameStop is running a deal where you can score MW3 for only 99 pence. Insane? I think so, seeing as what is required made me chuckle.
How it all works:
1: You order Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 from GameStop (UK) and return BF3 in the prepaid envelope before MW3 launches; you'll be refunded the money (save for 99p), and it's yours.
Crazy? Smart marketing? Did your jaw just drop to the floor like mine did in shock?
40% off everything at Blockbuster Canada
Posted by kennygk in Gaming Deals, PS3 software, QuickNews on September 24th, 2011
Sorry this story is a little late. I realize that this sale has been going on for more then 2 weeks but if you didn't know… Blockbuster is closing all of its remaining 253 Canadian locations and they have decided to lower the price on all movies AND games by 40%. Yes that includes new games, so if you haven't already gone, and you live in Canada, you should check out the selection of games they are offering and try to find a good deal. A friend of mine bought NHL 12 for $37 and I spotted Red Faction Armageddon for the same price.

* If the government shuts down and then defaults on its debt, Wall Street worries that it would "shake the foundations of the global financial system." Hooray for political asshattery! [DealBook / New York Times]
* At least six of the Supreme Court's judicial precedents are up for reconsideration in the upcoming Term, and high court commentators think the resulting decisions could be a mixed bag. [National Law Journal]
* Apparently low-income New Yorkers' legal problems are "not worthy of a 'real lawyer,'" or at least that's the message that will be given if non-lawyers are allowed to provide legal services. [New York Law Journal]
* Sorry, lady, not enough prestige. A Brazilian journalist was allegedly on the receiving end of some "extremely violent" police behavior at Yale Law School after attempting to interview Justice Joaquim Barbosa at a private event. [The Guardian]
* Mark Cuban's insider trading case is heading to trial today, but we genuinely wonder how he'll be able to convince a jury that he's "humble and affable," rather than the "master of the universe." [Boston Herald]
2nd Circuit, Celebrities, Divorce Train Wrecks, Donald Trump, Education / Schools, Gay Marriage, Morning Docket, Murder, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, SCOTUS, Supreme Court, Texas
* Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was chatty this week. In terms of same-sex marriage, the Notorious R.B.G. thinks "[t]he court handled both of those cases just the way they should have." [Bloomberg]
* And just like a mean girl, Ruthie's claws were out. After calling the Roberts Court "one of the most activist courts in history," she offered comments on Justice Samuel Alito's eye-rolling. [New York Times]
* Don't cry for Argentina, the truth is it never respected you. After losing an appeal at the Second Circuit, the country has vowed to defy any of the court's rulings with which it doesn't agree. [Reuters]
* Texas takes the bull by the horns: the state's Supreme Court will consider if it has the power and jurisdiction to grant gay divorces despite the fact that it bans gay marriage. [Houston Chronicle]
* "I have a temperament that doesn't adapt well to politics. It's because I speak my mind so much." Joaquim Barbosa, chief justice of Brazil's highest court and one of the most influential lawyers in the world (according to Time), isn't afraid to tell it like it is. [New York Times]
* Since she was already acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox (fka Foxy Knoxy) will not be returning to Italy for her retrial. That would be as silly as admitting to participation in orgies. [CNN]
* Following a settlement on undisclosed terms, the suit filed against Paula Deen has been dismissed. It's too bad that the Baroness of Butter's career sunk like a spoiled soufflé in the process. [Businessweek]
* New York's AG filed a $40M suit against Donald Trump, a rich man who can't afford a decent hairstylist and allegedly makes students at Trump University weep with his "bait-and-switch" tactics. [NBC News]

1995 Buick Somerset • 4 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 86,000 miles
1995 Buick Somerset mileage: 86,000. My car was running fine until it stalled going down the road. It wouldn't start back up until it cooled for a little bit. It runs fine until it gets up to operating temperature. Then it stalls, and won't restart until it is below operating temperature. Previous owner did not properly care for this car and we put a lot of new parts into it. Like: ignition module, plugs and wires, alternator, starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, transmission fluid and filter change, battery, water pump, serpentine belt, PCV valve, coolant sensor, oil pressure sensor and speed sensor. This car has a digital dash with all the gauges. When we did the first oil change, we got a small amount of sludge after draining the oil. Two weeks of driving 85 miles a day to work and we did another oil change. This time we got a bunch of sludge and my husband figured he should flush it out. He used a can of Motor Flush and got more sludge out than we thought we would. The intake manifold is just as bad as far as carbon build up. We used a can of Prestone Air Intake Spray and it seemed to run smoother. However, it still had lots of gunk in it so he sprayed it again to clean more. A few days after that is when it started stalling as soon as it got to operating temperature. It doesn't matter whether it is sitting at idle or running down the road, as soon as it gets to temp it dies. We just replaced the oil pressure sensor and now when we start it, it reads 2 bars and drops to nothing on the gauge. The oil indicator light does not come on at any time during idle or road driving. It doesn't show any codes on the computer either. We are totally stumped. Could we have dislodged enough sludge to plug the oil pump screen? Or, could some of the carbon worked its way into the injectors and plugged them up? It runs fine until it gets to operating temperature though. What are we missing?
October 19, 2010.
October 19, 2010.
Try replacing the oxygen sensor. You may also have a faulty ignition switch. Yes, you may have plugged the oil pickup. Remove the oil pan and clean. Replace the oil pump and pick-up screen. The fuel injection system is separate from the oil system.

So what's with all the Archer hate?

Re: So what's with all the Archer hate?
I wouldn't say Scott is a "bad" actor, I just think he was totally miscast as "Archer". The captain role in any Trek series is the most important and requires, according to most fans' tastes, at the least, presence and a certain amount of charisma. Scott was short on both.
Great acting can trump bad writing. We saw this numerous times in TOS, TNG, and DS9. We pretty much never saw it in Ent. Scott never seemed to be able to drag "Archer" up out of the muck of bad dialogue and characterization to the point that everyone at least respected the character even though he was being made to look ridiculous or contemptable. The entire show suffered mightily because of this.
As I have stated here before, it is no coincidence that the two least liked and respected of the Trek series' also have the least liked and least respected captain characters.
I certainly don't hate or even dislike Scott, he seems like a great person from what little I know about him, but he was as wrong as wrong can be for the role of Archer.

November 26, 2015
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio Insurance Institute says the severe storms that hit the state in July resulted in insured losses of at least $71 million.
The group on Monday released the results of a survey of 26 insurance companies showing that those insurers received more than 16,000 claims stemming from the July 10 round of storms that caused widespread flooding and three tornadoes across Ohio.
About 70 percent of those claims involve damage to homes, while the rest are related to cars and businesses. Not all insurance companies are represented in the survey.
The Institute is a trade association representing insurance companies in the state.
Some areas of the state saw up to eight inches of rain in the two-week period before July 10.

1996 Dodge Intrepid
I bought a used car last month and decided to go to Las Vegas in it well just as we were about to cross the stste line into Nevada My car started over heating bad steam was coming out of the hood and I could hear bubbling sounds. I took it to a mechanic up there and he told me my engine was shot but my car was running fine with no smoke or funny noises or anything.I honestly thought they were trying to rip me off charging me $3465.00 so I just rented a Uhaul and towed my car back to San Diego. Here we had my boyfriends dad look at it and he said it was just the water pump which he then fixed as well as our timing belt. Well about 6 hours after we got our car back it started over heating again and fast I would like to know if maybe you have any suggestions as to what it might be. Now I can't even travel a mile without it overheating please HELP!

That is overheating very quickly, are you losing coolant, check the radiator and see, if you are have someone do a cooling system pressure test, if no leaks, the next step may be a thermostat, lmk

Feb 17, 2007.
I have a 1995 Dodge neon, automatic trainsmission, 120,000 miles. I replaced the thermostat in August because it was overheating (I also was moving so I had it loaded to the max). Turned out the thermostat was bad, but it recently started overheating again under normal (not strenuous) usage. As far as I can tell my coollant is not leaking and all my fluids are fine. There is probably a small fluid leak of some sort (reddish brown) but probably not huge because my fluids are full. Could it be the thermostat again? If not likely, then what next? I was thinking my radiator or water pump. Is there anything simpler, less expensive that I should check?

It was 1965 when American audiences first welcomed handsome secret agent John Drake (Patrick McGoohan of The Prisoner) into their homes as CBS ran the unique spy series known as Secret Agent. Wielding brains and a moral outlook instead of weapons, Drake traveled to the corners of the globe on the trail of international criminals, corrupt politicians, and stolen secrets.
Now, all 86 episodes from John Drake's entire crime-solving career are available together on DVD. Each episode of this exciting spy thriller is presented in the original broadcast order, from the original season that aired only in the U.K. as Danger Man to the 47 episodes of Secret Agent that were seen internationally, including the two color episodes that provided a vivid finale to the long-running suspense thriller.
I'm a great lover of cult tv shows (especially British spy shows) and to me, Danger Man represents the quintessence of all those shows and probably is my favorite in the end. Read morePublished 16 months ago by François de Lorimier
If you are a fan of Patrick McGoohan, this series is not to be missed. Aside from the final two colour episodes, which were entirely lackluster, this was a great series and a... Read morePublished 17 months ago by Raymond A. Cuthbert

Racing in the 2010 Hartley TS 16 National Championships
The second day of the Hartley TS 16 National Championship, hosted by Napier Sailing Club, provided a traditional moderate sea breeze, in contrast to yesterday's regular big shifts, although the sea remained quite choppy.
Four races were sailed to ensure a completed series, with the weather expected to change again tomorrow as a stormy southwesterly looms.
The racing was close but making the most of the conditions was local boat Tickled Pink, skippered by Rob Hengst, taking two wins and two second places to jump from 10th to second on the table, slipping between overnight leaders Pronto and Tramp. Manukau's Gareth Insley is maintaining consistency on Pronto and holds a three point lead over Tickled Pink. Napier's Paul Dunford, sailing Tramp, didn't fare quite as well, having to discard a 13th place in today's second race, but remains in the hunt five points behind Pronto.
Also performing well in the fresher conditions is New Plymouth's Rumbo, with Wayne Holdt on the helm, taking two wins today to sit only a point behind Tramp and equal with another New Plymouth boat, Barefoot, skippered by Paul Moriarty.
If tomorrow offers more racing it will definitely be an exciting climax to this close fought series. Full results on www.napiersailngclub.org.nz

About us and our project
Scoop Films is a new independent film company dedicated to making entertaining and commercial films with international appeal.
Our first film, City Slacker, was completed last year, premiered at the Raindance Film Festival in September 2012 and was nominated for Best UK Feature. It's now in worldwide distribution for TV and online and has been premiered by Sky Movies in the UK.
One of the many things in that film that we were very proud of and that the audiences said they really enjoyed was the music. Through our partners Yellow Boat Music we included seven original songs plus a full orchestral score in the film and we were honoured to be able to secure the services of legendary producer Tony Visconti, who co-produced several of the songs and also brought his not inconsiderable talents to the whole process, all the while working in secret on the David Bowie album The Next Day.
We were able to release the music soundtrack to City Slacker on CD and digital downloads and streaming and we want to do it all again with our new project.
We are raising money to make the music soundtrack for our new film, The Beat Beneath My Feet, which is shooting this autumn.
Tom, a teenage loner, dreams of becoming a rock star but feels thwarted by his God-fearing single mother, Mary. When an intimidating, bearded and tattooed stranger moves into the flat below and plays loud rock music at all hours, Tom recognises him as disgraced guitarist, Sluice, from rock band "Nothing", who had disappeared presumed dead years earlier owing a fortune in unpaid tax. Tom agrees not to reveal him to the authorities on condition that Sluice, now Steve, teaches him the dark arts of rock guitar. As their relationship develops both man and boy find their way from rock hell to rock redemption.
We have 90s teen idol, Luke Perry (Beverly Hills 90210, The Fifth Element) on board to play Steve/Sluice. Our director is the very talented and award-winning, John Williams, who comes from a background in music videos and animation. We are thrilled to have secured his debut feature.
Music runs throughout the storyline of this film and we want to make this music even better than in City Slacker. So, we are raising £15,000 to help make this happen. We want to work with Tony Visconti again, we want to work with more talented musicians and we want to make a great commercial music soundtrack.
Your contributions will help us pay for the songwriting, producers, studio time, recording engineers, music talent - everything that goes into making and distributing great music.
There's plenty of opportunities to contribute and be a part of our music making. Take a look at the perks on offer.
And there's other ways for you to help, beyond our perks. Mention us to your friends and neighbours, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Spread the word on social media about The Beat Beneath My Feet use the Indiegogo share tools and help us get this film NOTICED.

Check out our Rainblo 1/2 inch, unwrapped gumballs- less than $4.00 a pound! At your next "Ol' West" themed party, give our Gold Mine Gum a try. Whatever the occasion, which ever chewing gum you choose, you cannot go wrong purchasing in bulk at our Southwest Candy wholesale prices.
