Elkhart County agrees to contribute $500,000 to Ivy Tech expansion
GOSHEN — Ivy Tech Community College is $500,000 closer to adding on to its campus southeast of Elkhart.
The Elkhart County Council voted Saturday, Jan. 11, to contribute to the college's $14 million expansion, which includes the construction of its new World Class Lean Advanced Manufacturing Training Center. The center will provide training and certifications for people interested in the automotive and recreational vehicle industries.
The county's redevelopment commission approved the request last fall for $500,000 from the Northeast Corridor Tax Increment Financing District, which has a balance of about $3.5 million.
"At the meeting, they specifically requested funding for site preparation, roads and utility improvements," County Plan Director Chris Godlewski told the council Saturday, adding that redevelopment commission members agreed the new center would contribute to "job creation, skills enhancement and the general prosperity of the region."
County Commissioner Mike Yoder told the council that Ivy Tech would not receive any funds from the TIF district until the project is under way.
"Part of the reason the county is being upfront now and trying to push this is because it shows they have local support," Yoder said, adding that other businesses and organizations will follow in the county's footsteps with contributions.
County Councilman David Foutz said he hopes the presence of a state-of-the-art facility like the one Ivy Tech plans to build will draw more commercial development to the area.
Ivy Tech purchased 43 acres behind its campus off of C.R. 18 near C.R. 17 where the 55,000-square-foot center will be built. The school plans to graduate about 400 students with certificates and degrees from the training program each year.
"One of the things that we were seeing in the factories is people advertise five positions, and they get 200 people applying for the job, and they end up with seven possibly qualified people because there's no system for certification," County Council President John Letherman said.
The skills needed to work in the automotive and recreational vehicle industries are much more technologically demanding than they used to be, Letherman added.
"There is a tremendous need for auto mechanic skills, and auto mechanics now is not a crescent wrench and hammer," he said. "A lot of it is electronics. If you look at the electronics in the average car now, they're just way, way off the chart. They're very few people who can fix this stuff or know anything about it, and with all the RVs and motorhomes that are built here, we've been told that's a skill they really need to have some training in."

Downsizing Blog
Fraud in the Defense Department
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost more than $1 trillion with billions going to Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. All of that spending has led to a large uptick in waste and fraud. As much as $60 billion has been wasted on U.S. operations in those two countries, according to analysis from the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Justice Department has brought more than 235 criminal cases since 2005.
Drugs for the Deceased
Medicare fraud is rampant. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates fraud compromises 8 percent of total expenditures, or $44 billion annually. Outside estimates are as high as $120 billion. A recent report from the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General highlights just one of the many examples of waste, fraud, and abuse within the system: Medicare paying for drug coverage of deceased beneficiaries.
Ivanpah: Time to End the Subsidies
Ivanpah in California is the world's largest solar project. The project is owned by Google and NRG Energy, and is heavily subsidized by taxpayers. Ivanpah originally received a $1.6 billion loan from the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2011. Now the company is asking for another government subsidy to pay off its original loan.
Highway Bill: The Unmentionable Option
In an article about federal highway legislation yesterday, the Washington Post illustrated the art of advocacy journalism cloaked as news reporting. The article explored different options for raising federal taxes $100 billion to fund state highways. It quotes three transportation lobbyists and included scare lines about the supposed consequences of not raising taxes ("… hundreds of thousands of construction jobs put at risk…").
SHOP Exchange Glitches
Open enrollment for Obamacare's second year begins next week. In the chaotic launch of HealthCare.gov, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) delayed the launch of the sister portal for small businesses. Now, the health insurance exchange for small businesses is expected to open, but it is still plagued with problems.
Make America Safer: Shut Down the Department of Homeland Security
Congress created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 by combining 22 agencies that are responsible for a vast array of activities. President George W. Bush promised that the new department would "improve efficiency without growing government" and would cut out "duplicative and redundant activities that drain critical homeland security resources."
Report Concludes that Yucca Mountain Is Safe
For decades, the federal government has struggled with the issue of storing waste from commercial nuclear reactors and defense-related nuclear activities. The government has spent billions of dollars planning for nuclear waste disposal, but the creation of a permanent storage site is years behind schedule due to federal mismanagement and safety concerns. A new report confirms that the current proposed site, Yucca Mountain in Nevada, is safe for use.
Wading Through Disability Paperwork
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits to 11 million individuals, costing $140 billion annually. Its trust fund will become insolvent by 2016, so policymakers have little time to reform the system.
TFSAs Spur Canada Savings Revolution
A tax reform is spurring a savings revolution in Canada. Amity Shlaes and I wrote about Canada's Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) in the Wall Street Journal in August. We think that such accounts would be a fantastic policy reform for America. They would simplify the taxation of savings, encourage families to save more, and spur stronger economic growth.
Abusing Federal Paid Leave
Compensation for federal civilian employees is more generous than private-sector workers. Federal workers receive better benefits than their non-governmental counterparts in particular, and generous paid leave benefits are one of the federal advantages. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) suggests that federal agencies are abusing this benefit.


text: ...is it worth it to raise a slowpoke? I've recently picked up my Crystal game to play for nostalgia and I was looking for a decent water type to put on my team. Slowpoke doubles as a psychic and can learn Ice Punch once it evolves to take care of those pesky Dragon types, but it levels up soooo slowly. I was wondering if it's overall stats and moves it learns are worth the time it takes to raise it or should I go with something else?

|Europol last week published its EU Terrorism Situation and Trends report 2012.
The TE-SAT provides "facts and figures regarding terrorism in the EU, while also seeking to identify trends in the development of this phenomenon". The 2012 report identifies a "highly diverse terrorism picture", with terrorist activities assessed in the categories of religiously-inspired terrorism; ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorism; left-wing and anarchist terrorism; right-wing terrorism; and single issue terrorism.
The TE-SAT report finds that the internet has become "the principal means of communication for terrorist and violent extremist individuals and groups". It also concludes that the "threat of violent right-wing extremism has reached new levels in Europe and should not be underestimated."
The report notes among its trends and future outlook the "wide diversity of threats posed by terrorist and violent extremist groups" and that "religiously inspired terrorism will continue to be largely driven by sustained geo-political developments and changes in the Middle East, the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa".
Some of the key findings of the report include the following:
• The number of terrorist incidents and arrests continue to fall, but overall activity relating to terrorism and violent extremism still represents a significant threat to EU Member States…In 2011, a total of 174 attacks were still executed, 484 individuals were arrested and 316 individuals were charged with terrorist-related offences.
• As in 2009 and 2010, the majority of reported verdicts in 2011 [for concluded court proceedings] relate to separatist terrorism.
For the categories covered in the report, the following is observed:
Religiously-inspired terrorism:
• In 2011, no al-Qaeda affiliated or inspired terrorist attacks were carried out in EU Member States
• The number of individuals arrested for offences related to violent jihadist terrorism dropped from 179 in 2010 to 122 in 2011
• More than half of the arrested individuals were non- EU nationals.
• The most significant attack plots in the EU during 2011 centred around home-grown groups based in Germany and the UK.
• Twelve individuals from Birmingham, arrested in September and November 2011 in the UK, were charged with terrorism offences, including preparing for an act of terrorism in the UK, providing money for the purposes of terrorism, and failing to disclose information about potential acts of terrorism. This British-based home-grown group likewise demonstrated strong links to Pakistan. Other home-grown plots with less sophistication underline the potential of even simplistic attacks to impact upon the EU, as well as the unfaltering determination of home-grown violent jihadists to strike.
• Religiously-inspired terrorism will continue to be largely driven and sustained by geo-political developments and changes in the Middle East, the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa.
Ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorism:
• 110 attacks carried out in EU Member States
• 247 individuals arrested for separatist terrorism related offences in EU Member States
Left-wing and anarchist terrorism:
• 37 terrorist attacks carried out in EU Member States
• 42 individuals arrested in EU Member States
Right-wing terrorism:
• The threat of violent right-wing extremism has reached new levels in Europe and should not be underestimated.
• The threat from right-wing terrorism and violent extremism comes from undetected lone actors or small groups rather than established extreme right-wing groups
• One right-wing terrorist attack in EU Member States.
• Suggestions made in open sources that the attacks in Norway in July 2011 were acts of right-wing terrorism, or had links with right-wing extremist groups in the EU, have not been substantiated.
Single issue terrorism:
• Increased cross-border cooperation between several types of violent extremist groups is a cause for concern.
The report confirms trends reflected in previous reports that although still an issue in Europe, 'religiously-inspired' terrorist attacks pose a decreasing threat to the EU, with none taking place in Europe in 2011. Since 2006, religiously-inspired violent extremism has been responsible for just 10 out of 2150 terrorist attacks in Europe.
It is also interesting to note that the report excluded the Norway attacks from its analysis on right-wing terrorism, dealing with it in the section on 'lone actors'. This is surprising given the overtly cultural-supremacist, anti-Islam outlook of Anders Behring Breivik, the perpetrator of the attacks, and the right-wing, anti-immigrant, Eurabia perspective highlighted in his 'manifesto'.
The TE-SAT report reflects in part the findings of the select committee inquiry into the 'Roots of Violent Radicalisation' which too noted the growing threat posed by far right extremism, and the fact that "individuals from many different backgrounds are vulnerable, with no typical profile or pathway to radicalisation."
The 2012 TE-SAT report is available to read here.

The following is an industry press release...
Las Vegas, NV (November 17, 2012) – KTM's Taddy Blazusiak won both main events at the final round of the 2012 GEICO AMA EnduroCross Series, presented by Lucas Oil. Blazusiak also clinched his fourth consecutive EnduroCross championship. Beta's Cody Webb did everything he could to take away at least one win by battling Blazusiak during both mains, leading several laps and finished second both times out. Mike Brown took third in the first main event and Kyle Redmond took third in the second main.
Blazusiak beat out Webb to set the fastest time during the MVP Racing Hot Laps. Blazusiak set a time of 59:031 versus Webb's 1:00:103. Brown was third with a 1:03.400.
Haaker won the first expert heat race with a last lap pass on Brown and both went to the main event. Webb dominated the second heat race and Redmond came back from several mistakes to take second and a spot in the main. Blazusiak won the third heat over Monster Kawasaki's Justin Soule. With the double main event format, the remaining riders move into two separate LCQ races. Taylor Robert won the first LCQ over Cory Graffunder and Jamie Lanza to earn spots in the main. Geoff Aaron won the second LCQ over his GEICO Honda teammate Kevin Rookstool and Beta's Max Gerston to take the last spots in the main event.
Blazusiak took the holeshot in the first main event and that usually means it is over but Webb has proven to have the pace to challenge him this year. Webb passed both Brown and Blazusiak on lap two and led two laps. The crowd was on their feet as the two riders swapped the lead a few time on lap five and Webb kept it close until the end of the race. Webb made a big mistake and went down on lap six to allow Blazusiak to secure a safe win. Brown held second for the first few laps but then fell to third, where he ultimately finished. Geoff Aaron had a strong ride to move from ninth on lap one all the way to fourth. Soule was fifth, Haaker sixth, Graffunder seventh, Redmond eighth, Max Gerston was ninth, Jamie Lanza, Kevin Rookstool was eleventh. Taylor Robert crashed on the first lap and was credited with twelfth.
The second main event was again a great battle between Blazusiak and Webb. Although Webb did not lead a lap, he did challenge Blazusiak and edged ahead of him in the extremely difficult rock section a few times and made a banzai run through the rocks on the last lap to try to blitz past him. Webb lost control and went down hard but remounted to finish second. Husqvarna's Redmond had a great battle with Geoff Aaron for the final podium spot and the two riders banged bars on more than on occasion. Redmond ultimately took the position and Aaron held on for his second forth of the night. Brown got fifth, Soule was sixth, Graffunder was seventh, Robert eighth, Gerston ninth, Rookstook tenth, Haaker was eleventh and Lanza finished twelfth.
Blazusiak took his fourth GEICO AMA EnduroCross Championship for KTM. Webb took over second in the championship with his strong night. Robert finished third and showed that he could be a threat for the title in upcoming years.
The MAVtv Junior championship was taken by Beta's Max Gerston. It came down to a thrilling battle between Gerston, Ryan Sandoval and Bryan Roper fighting for the last spot into the main event in the LCQ. Roper had come into the race with a slim lead but a mechanical failure took him out of the race. Gerston ultimately made the main and his ninth place finishes in each race was enough to take the lead for the battle for riders twenty one and under.
The First ever Women's class championship came down to the final race with KTM's Maria Forsberg holding a 10 point lead over US Women's Trials champion, Louise Forsley. Forsley lead the race on the last lap but got hopelessly stuck in the rocks and Forsberg took the lead and win, which also secured the championship. Forsley recovered for second in the race and championship. Rachel Gutish finished took the final podium position in Vegas. Chantelle Bykerk finished fourth in the race, which was enough to take third in the championship.
For the support classes, the Las Vegas final serves at the AMA EnduroCross Grand Championship with a #1 plate awarded to the winner of each class. In the Vet 35+ Class Kurt Nicoll defended his title with the win over Jason Gitchel and Rob Farrington. Keith Curtis won the Open Amateur class with a last lap pass in the rocks. Ben Rego was second and Ty Tremaine was third. The TrialsCross class was won by Phil Smage over Eric Storz and Ty Tremaine.
Gary Sutherlin was among the riders that missed qualifying for the expert main event but got to go to the Baja Designs night race and the $500 bonus that came with it.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAMC Great Chair We love the arms flat style, you can set something down on them. It is super comfortable. Would love if there was a matching ottoman! February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyOwner Comforatable and Great Dollar Value The Mason Chair shipped flawlessly. It was well packed and the delivery time was very reasonable. The 4 legs are eay to attach. The chair is the perfect size and a very comfortable fit. I think it's a great dollar value. I looked for quite a few months to find similar chairs, but didn't have any luck. November 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PonyGirl Versatile accent chair I was looking for small chairs to coordinate with my rust brown leather sofa. After sitting on many chairs (in many furniture stores) I took a chance purchasing online. The sale price was so good that I bought two in latte, which I would describe as taupe. They arrived quickly and were easy to assemble. The chairs did have a slight odor for about a week and the bi-cast leather is a little stiff compared to my 100% leather sofa, but may loosen up. The chairs are easy to move, fit into small areas and the neutral color works well with everything. A good value for the money! October 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by susanb Great chair, needs matching ottoman Love this chair, very comfortable and smaller size allows it to be placed almost anywhere. I would classify this as more of a woman's size chair rather than a man's; however, men have sat in this chair without difficulty, but a matching ottoman would make this chair and even bigger asset and even more comfortable. It is not as light in color as the "latte" suggests, but rather a rich, goldenish brown--it's quite pleasing in person and a nice change from the regular dark brown and black. Please, please WM, consider making a matching Mason ottoman in this color and matching the Mason leather chair! December 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by masby Would recommend, but not perfect Like other reviewers have said, it does need an ottoman. The style (with the curved front) makes an ottoman almost necessary. I plan to buy a fun small ottoman soon. Also, it definitely does not look like real leather, so be aware if you're trying to go for a faux-that-looks-like-real, this is not what you want. It is surprisingly comfortable, and my five-year-old and I can both squeeze into it side-by-side, despite its small size. It is a small chair, so look at the dimensions before you buy. I love the size for our space. Overall, I'm pleased. It also seems like it will be easy to clean, but you can't remove the cushions. November 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KAM2143 Super Comfy I love the color and how comfortable this chair is. It is a perfect size and a great value, my only complaint would be that I wish the back was a bit higher for those of us that tend to drift off while watching TV. January 29, 2014

ZF-5066: File validators aren't being included automatically
In revision 12848 of the 1.7 branch, I have to manually add the prefix path for the file validators like this:
$element = new Zend_Form_Element_File('foo'); $element->addPrefixPath('Zend_Validate_File', 'Zend/Validate/File', 'validate'); $element->addValidator('Count', false, 1);
Otherwise, I get this exception: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception: Plugin by name 'Count' was not found in the registry; used paths: Zend_Validate_: Zend/Validate/
I'm assuming the prefix path used to be set automatically, because it's not mentioned in the documentation: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Matthew, havn't you already fixed this in trunk ? There was an related issue the last days which you was also related to PluginLoader which you have fixed.
Tested with actual release but not able to verify it. Looks like it's already been fixed in past.

One thing that I really love about Charles Chocolates is their willingness to experiment with a multitude of different flavors. Their standard line of chocolates use all sort of additions to their tasty chocolate; from the traditional to the exotic. Regardless of what ingredients are used, the result is always pleasurable and delicious.
One of their most recent creations are a series of bars made especially for Bi-Rite Creamery, which are inspired by their infamous ice cream flavors. It's a match made in heaven, as both companies share similar philosophies: making delicious treats in small batches while using the freshest ingredients. Besides, ice cream and chocolate are a natural pairing, and I'm interested to finally see ice cream in chocolate as opposed to the other way around.
Before I get into describing the flavors, I want to mention first that the base of these bars is a mix of dark and milk chocolates. This makes the chocolate exceptionally sweet and creamy, very reminiscent to how an ice cream base tastes. I thought this was a clever method of getting the "essence" of an ice cream's flavor while still missing the texture.
Peanut Praline (a crunchy peanut candy in a rich blend of dark and milk chocolate): It has a terribly enticing aroma that's hints of caramel, nutty, and very chocolatey. There's large chunks of the candy in the bar and they are quite visible. The taste is of the chocolate: sweet, creamy, and of rich cocoa. The praline is crunchy and gives a great texture. The flavor is very buttery and nutty with a good dose of salt.
It's exactly how I imagines a peanut praline would taste in chocolate. I love how the chunks of the praline aren't too small so that I'd lose the texture in the chocolate, as I love to chomp on the chunks. Neither element of this bar is compromised for the other and it's really nice.
Rocky Road (housemade marshmallows and salted almonds in a rich bled of dark and milk chocolate): Wow. Rocky road is right! This bar is just loaded with chunky bits of marshmallows and nuts and really looks like it needs a good pave job. Just breaking off a row I immediately hit the marshmallows and they softly pulled and stretched. You can tell they're fresh and it's awesome.
This bar is all about the texture. You get the intense crunchiness of the nuts and they're very hefty. The marshmallows are soft, spongy and have a good "give" to them which is a great contrast to the nuts.
Flavor-wise it's of the nice chocolate blend but supplemented with some saltiness from the nuts. It's sweet and slightly stronger on the vanilla from the marshmallows.
Coffee Toffee (housemade almond toffee and coffee beans in a rich blend of dark and milk chocolate): This bar is extremely textured, and you can really tell just by looking at it. You can easily see the bits of toffee and espresso beans and it makes the bar look very mottled and spotted. Breaking off a row the texture is a little more crumbly and the snap is softer from all the additions.
The aroma is very roasted and sweet with a distinguishable coffee scent. It reminds me of mocha.
The flavor is immediately creamy with notes of the toffee with caramel and burnt sugar. The coffee flavor comes through after that initial burst of sweetness, with a smooth flavor that's light and compliments the toffee and chocolate. Once you have all three flavors working together, it's really wonderful, as all they're all expertly balanced.
I'm happy to say that there's no coffee grounds in this bar to deliver the flavor. Instead it's bits of espresso beans and combined with the chunks of toffee it's a very satisfying crispy texture.
This is my favorite of the bunch.
I love these bars and it's a shame that unless I made the trek to the San Francisco to buy more, I probably won't have them again. They're certainly worth picking up if you're in the area and I highly recommend you do so.
Rating: Will Buy Again

good chair but . . .
By pickpro

Best Uses
The chair is adequate for the price although, I've had it just short of a month and one arm is coming loose. Also, one of the wheels was broken on delivery. Customer service said "no problem, we'll send you another one". Almost a month and still sitting crooked (because of the missing wheel).
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If you're seeing notifications that the copy of Windows that is installed on your PC might not be genuine, or that you might be a victim of counterfeit software, it's likely that your copy of Windows was not properly activated or is otherwise not genuine. To fix this, click the notification and follow the steps to either repair Windows or—if you have inadvertently obtained counterfeit software—buy genuine Windows.
Until you correct the issue, you'll receive periodic reminders that Windows is not genuine. In addition, to more clearly display these messages, your desktop might turn black. You can reset it, but every 60 minutes, it will return to black until the issue is resolved.
Regardless of genuine status, Windows will still be able to get critical security updates. However, access to optional updates or benefits available exclusively to genuine Windows customers, such as Microsoft Security Essentials, might be restricted.
Make sure to buy Windows or a PC with Windows preinstalled either directly from Microsoft or from a local or online retail store that you know and trust. Also look for key features of genuine Windows, such as the Certificate of Authenticity (COA), a proof of license label, and an edge-to-edge hologram. For more information, see What to look for.
You can't install Windows on more computers than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow. Usually, the rule to follow is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on one PC. See Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions and the Microsoft Volume Licensing website for more information.
Try checking your junk mail or spam folders for an order confirmation e‑mail, or contact support.
Depending on your location and method of payment, your product key can be found in one of the following places:
On the Microsoft Order Confirmation page
In the e‑mail sent to the address you used to place your order
In a link in your e‑mail to an order status page
On the packing slip that arrived with your Get Genuine Online Kit
Yes. Regardless of genuine status, you'll still be able to get critical security updates. However, if your copy of Windows isn't genuine, you won't be able to install many updates that are exclusively for genuine Windows customers, including Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft strongly recommends that you get genuine Microsoft software immediately to help ensure a safer computing experience.
Activation pairs your product key with your hardware configuration and helps verify that your copy of Windows hasn't been used on more computers than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow. For more information, learn how to
install, upgrade, and activate Windows,
or see
Activating Windows 7: frequently asked questions.
If Windows is not genuine, the validation results page will detail why Windows was not genuine, as well as instruct you how to quickly and easily resolve the issue. No personally identifiable information is collected. For more information on what information is collected and how it is used, see the
Genuine Microsoft software privacy statement.
Validation is an online process that lets you verify that your copy of Windows is genuine. Validation is supported for some versions of Windows. Validation might be required for your copy of Windows before you can get downloads and some updates from Microsoft, which are reserved for PCs running genuine Windows. Windows might also prompt you to run genuine validation if activation is not properly completed. All customers can access security updates using Automatic Updates.
If your copy of Windows fails validation, the validation results page will detail why Windows was not genuine, as well as instruct you how to quickly and easily resolve the issue. No personally identifiable information is collected. For details on what information is collected and how it is used, see the Genuine Microsoft software privacy statement.
Currently, online validation is supported by all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista as well as the following Windows XP editions: Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional (excluding Windows XP Professional x64 Edition), Windows XP Starter Edition, and Windows XP Media Center Edition.
There are a few common scenarios why Windows running on a PC might be discovered to be non-genuine during validation.
Repairs. You might start to see messages on your desktop that Windows is not genuine after your PC has been repaired. Validation can fail after a repair because some repairs require reinstallation of Windows and during the process, the shop or person repairing your PC used a product key to activate Windows that was different than the one used to activate Windows when it was originally installed. You might not see notifications that Windows isn't genuine until after you try to download something from the Microsoft Download Center that requires validation, and validation fails. To get genuine, re-enter your original product key to properly activate Windows.
For other scenarios, you'll likely need to buy additional Windows licenses to get genuine.
1 License = 1 PC. Another common cause of Windows validation failure happens when you try to install Windows on more computers than your license allows. For instance, if you purchased one copy of Windows and installed in on more than one PC, online validation might fail because the product key has already been used on another computer. Normally, the rule to follow for most copies of Windows is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on one PC. Go to the Microsoft Volume Licensing website to learn about what your license allows.
Counterfeit software. Validation will also fail if you've inadvertently acquired and installed counterfeit Windows. Because counterfeit can be difficult to detect, the Microsoft How to Tell site can help you identify counterfeit software and file a counterfeit software report. Validation failure is also common for counterfeit Windows that was purchased either by itself, perhaps from an online auction site, or even installed on a used PC that was purchased online or in-person. Remember to ask the seller to include the original Windows disc and the Certificate of Authenticity.
Microsoft has special offers to help you get genuine. If validation fails for Windows running on your PC, you can buy genuine Windows directly from the validation results page that appears.
Who to contact for support depends on the way that you purchased Windows:
If you bought a new PC with Windows preinstalled, then your PC manufacturer can help you with activation or validation issues for Windows. View a list of contact numbers for manufacturers in your region.
If you bought Windows separately, such as from an authorized reseller or from a friend, then use the contact numbers provided during the activation process to get additional support from Microsoft in your local area.
Yes. You can complete the validation process using non-Microsoft web browsers, but you'll validate using the alternate method by running a small executable file. The browser plug-in provides the same Windows validation as the ActiveX controls.
Mozilla Firefox users: Although the instructions for the validation tool executable file say to open or run the file from its current location, Firefox will not present you with either of those options. Instead, save the file to your PC, and then double-click the file to run it. For assistance with technical issues related to browser plugins, see genuine Microsoft software diagnostics.
ActiveX controls are components used by Internet Explorer. These controls, or "add-ons," enhance the browsing experience by allowing animation or helping with tasks, such as installing security updates from Microsoft Update or validating genuine Microsoft software. The validation processes for Windows uses an ActiveX control to check the authenticity of your software. The first time you run validation from Windows or request a genuine Windows download from the Microsoft Download Center or Microsoft Update, you'll be asked to install an ActiveX control. The ActiveX controls used by genuine Windows validation are signed by Microsoft Corporation. If you do not see sufficient evidence of the Microsoft signature, you should not download the control. If an ActiveX control does not contain a valid publisher signature, Internet Explorer will prompt you with a security warning and prevent you from downloading it to your PC.
When validation is done for the copy of Windows that is running on your PC, a pairing is made between the product key installed on your PC as well as the hardware configuration on your computer. If you validate Windows again with the same product key, the validation service does a quick check to make sure that the pairing still matches. This is to make sure that Windows or Office is properly activated and not in use on more computers than permitted by the software licensing terms. No personally identifiable information is ever collected by the validation service. Read the genuine Microsoft software privacy statement.
If you have trouble running the ActiveX control, you might use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the Microsoft Download Center or Genuine Microsoft Software webpages to request additional assistance. You might also access the genuine Microsoft software diagnostic page for troubleshooting tools.
Note: ActiveX cannot always be used because some browser security settings and some companies do not allow its use. Because of this, there is an alternate method to validate your software that provides the same functionality as the ActiveX controls. This method involves running a small executable file.

Most businesses and organizations with a dedicated information technology professional use volume activation to activate Windows within their computing environment. Activation is a simple and required aspect of deployment, which establishes the relationship between the product key and a copy of the software on a device to which the licensing rights are applied. Volume activation is a solution for managing activation in a business or organization's infrastructure for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions. Volume activation lets IT professionals integrate and manage activation as part of the deployment and regular system management while making the computer-user experience transparent.
You can use any combination of methods to activate PCs, depending on the needs of your organization and network infrastructure, including:
A local activation service, called Key Management Service (KMS), in your environment.
A Multiple Activation Key (MAK), used to complete activation directly with Microsoft.
The activation methods chosen depend on the needs of the organization and the network infrastructure. For more information about planning a volume activation deployment, see the Volume Activation Planning Guide. Find more information in the Windows Volume Activation Center on TechNet (English only).
You need to have a full version of the Windows license before applying the upgrade license.
You can receive MAK keys through MSPP/MAPS, MSDN/TechNet subscriptions, and active volume licensing agreements.
You can also get their keys (KMS and MAK) at the Windows Volume Activation Center.
Even with advanced planning, orchestrated deployment, mature management processes, and best intentions, your business might still discover it's using non-genuine and unlicensed software in your computing environments. Microsoft offers GGWA licensing solutions to address these scenarios and help your business get genuine.
Support is available for purchase from either Microsoft or a Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR). Contact your licensing representative to find out more.
A minimum of five licenses must be purchased.

Contact the writer: Family and friends gathered at the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday to pay tribute to longtime bodysurfer Andrew Arnold, who was known for playing his trumpet in the parking lot after his surf sessions.
Contact the writer: Arnold sustained fatal neck injuries Nov. 4 while bodysurfing at his favorite spot near the pier.
Contact the writer: Surfers remembered his friendly demeanor and wave-riding skills. On Saturday morning, fellow bodysurfers, bodyboarders and surfers paddled out in choppy, rough waters under overcast skies and splashed water to the sky while shouting "God Bless Andy!" Others watched from the pier and tossed roses into the water. His daughter wrote "RIP Andy" in the sand.
Contact the writer: "I thought it was very beautiful, and I know that he's here in spirit. I can feel him, and I know life will get better," said daughter Aimee Arnold, 26. "He rode a wave right into heaven. He couldn't have gone out any other way."
Contact the writer: Arnold, 54, an insurance agent raised in Huntington Beach, was a regular bodysurfer growing up, but had stopped for a period because of health issues. In the past five years, however, he lost nearly 100 pounds and rediscovered his passion for the ocean.
Contact the writer: "He was in the water everyday, you couldn't get him out," Aimee Arnold said.
Contact the writer: Friend Mike Ester said he would see Arnold in the parking lot, and always requested that he play taps on his trumpet. Arnold played in the Huntington Beach City Band.
Contact the writer: Arnold and his wife, Barbie, celebrated their 30-year anniversary this year.
Contact the writer: His wife talked to him right before he went in the water that fateful day, telling him to be safe. She said he was her soul mate, still remembering how she "tingled from head to toes" the first time he kissed her.
Contact the writer: "We were supposed to grow old together, that was our plan," she said. "At least he died doing what he loved."
Contact the writer: Arnold's wish was to have his organs donated.
Contact the writer: "If a miracle could come out of such a tragedy, he would love it," Barbie Arnold said.
Contact the writer: Arnold ran a Farmers Insurance office in Huntington, taking over after his mother, Eileen, died.
Contact the writer: Arnold is survived by his wife; daughter; sons Drew, 24 and Jessie 32; three grandchildren; and a brother, Tom. The family plans another memorial at the pier at 8 a.m. today for those who could not make it to Saturday's tribute.
Contact the writer: The public also is welcome at funeral services at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Sts. Simon & Jude Catholic Church in Huntington Beach.

Cities promote positive changes taking place
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
Motorists approaching Statesville on Interstate 40 are greeted with a sign that proclaims it an All-American City for 2009. Thomasville leaders hope a similar sign will soon grace Interstate 85 proclaiming the Chair City as an All-American City for this year. Thomasville is one of 20 national finalists, along with two other North Carolina cities, Garner and Dunn. The National Civic League sponsors the program.
This isn't the first attempt Thomasville has made at landing the designation. The city tried in 2003 but wasn't selected. But this year's emphasis plays into a Thomasville strength: initiatives that honor and benefit veterans and military families. Thomasville is well-known for its annual Memorial Day celebrations, which features several events spread over four days. Last year marked the 25th anniversary of the event.
City leaders point to other programs, too: Project Divine Interruption, which reaches out to students with food and housing issues, and the renovation of eight city parks, undertaken jointly by city government and the Thomasville Rotary Club. They are understandably proud of what's taking place in the Chair City and believe those efforts make it a desirable place to live. Come mid-June they'll learn if the National Civic League judges believe it rises to the level of an All-American City.
Even if Thomasville isn't successful, just applying for the designation allows the city to highlight successes and generates a sense of pride. Sometimes it can be easy to overlook significant happenings that are transforming a city. Residents can take stock of their city's progress when they see how certain programs and initiatives draw the attention of an outside group.
Lexington didn't seek the All-American City Award, but city leaders here can and do point to positive momentum. A strong downtown area with new businesses, the effort to land an Amtrak stop as part of a rejuvenated Depot District, enthusiastic leadership and even infrastructure improvements are all present. Problems shouldn't be swept under the rug, but they also should be balanced against progress that's taking place. Sometimes attitude goes a long way in determining how a person views a situation.
Davidson County has experienced some wrenching changes over the past two decades. Both Lexington and Thomasville leaders are searching for ways to redefine their cities and find hope moving forward. Being designated an All-American City would certainly put a feather in Thomasville's cap. But even if the effort isn't successful, leaders in both Thomasville and Lexington can find plenty of successes to tout even as they address ongoing concerns.

ZF-2023: Zend_Gdata_Calendar sample code doesn't list setReminder or addExtendedProperty when listing valid commands
When running demos/Zend/Gdata/Calendar.php without any arguments, a list of valid commands is output to stdout. This list is missing the following commands:
- setReminder
- addExtendedProperty
These commands are already recognized properly and have interactive help, so they just need to be added to the help text which is output when a command isn't issued by the user.
Added additional commands to output and verified that the commands outputted are equal to those in the case statements.
Trevor - can you do the code review on this one pleae.
Code review for r7056
The fix looks good conceptually, though there's a syntax error. The new strings end with a semi-colon (;) rather than the concatenation operator (.). Since fixing this is trivial, I've gone ahead and corrected this in r7059.

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Stop laughing! There's more to Bill Allred than frat-house humor.
On a recent morning, X96's Radio From Hell, infamous for its Boner of the Day award and in-depth Celebutard News, Bill Allred, a member of the show's hosting troika, was cracking wise with his co-hosts about judging a barbeque contest at a Murray bar.
Co-host Gina Barberi: "You interacted with their meat?"
Allred (deadpan): "I often do that with listeners. If they have meat that needs interacting with, I'll do it."
If that discussion was all you had to go on, you can be forgiven for being ignorant that Allred, an avid reader of Esquire and The Economist, is fluent in the works of Shakespeare and is a serious foodie who would eschew a PBR for a decent bottle of bubbly. In Utah's performance community, we kid you not, Allred is known for his work with Repertory Dance Theatre, Plan B Theatre and KUER public radio dramas.
At RDT last year, Allred, along with Rick Nobis, performed spoken-word narration written by composer John Cage to accompany Merce Cunningham's How To Pass, Kick, Fall, and Run. Not the comedic level of barbeque judging, perhaps, but pretty impressive.
"We were supposed to do 22 minutes of Cage's narration, and it was to be totally random. It was a bizarre experience," Allred says of shuffling one-minute chunks of Cage's prose, then reading the lines against a stop watch. "It really sounded cool to me," the radio veteran says. "Fun."
The gig required one more thing: "We sipped champagne, just like Cage did, as we read the cards."
RDT's creative director Linda Smith talked Allred into the performance after meeting him during an interview on Radio From Hell. "I saw Bill in action—this guy is fast," Smith says. "He has a razor-sharp mind and intellect. Bill is a lot deeper than people, on first hearing, might understand."
She, like many Allred fans, was surprised to learn he studied acting at Pennsylvania State University, where he took on serious roles, including that of the evil Iago in Othello.
Not that Allred is planning on bailing on his day job: "Radio From Hell is my favorite four hours of the day," he says. "Today we talked about bodily functions; Larry Flynt, the great pornographer; dung beetles using the Milky Way to navigate and Clive Davis. We run the gantlet from sophomoric things to pretty high-brow stuff."
Besides, Allred will only take a performance gig if someone cajoles him. "It's too brutal to audition and be rejected," he says. Still, he admits, "I love performing in front of a live audience. If somebody came to me and asked me to do a role in Macbeth, I'd be really tempted. But I'm sure I would regret it."

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) signed a multi-year agreement with AB Sciex to collaborate on the development of methods and technology in proteomics mass spectrometry with the goal of redefining biomarker research and complement genomics through quantitative proteomics analysis. The aim is to help advance the development of a new approach to medical care.
Led by ISB president and co-founder Leroy Hood, M.D., Ph.D., ISB's research is being accelerated by SWATH™ Acquisition, a data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry workflow that reportedly can quantify virtually all detectable peptides and proteins in a sample from a single analysis. ISB will be using the AB Sciex TripleTOF® 5600+ System and an Eksigent ekspert™ nano-LC 400 System as the instrument platforms on which to conduct the protein identification and quantitation. The TripleTOF 5600+ System can reportedly provide the high speed necessary for SWATH Acquisition. ISB also plans to use SelexION™ technology, a recent advancement in differential ion mobility, in the future to advance its research.
"SWATH is a game-changing technique that essentially acts as a protein microarray and is the most reproducible way to generate comprehensive quantitation of the entire proteome," says Dr. Hood, "It generates a digital record of the entire proteome that can be mined retrospectively for years to come."
ISB shall support the development of SWATH libraries similar to its SRMAtlas project for the human proteome, pioneered by Rob Moritz, Ph.D., and his collaborators, and the proteomes of other clinically relevant organisms. "With complete proteome-wide libraries, ISB provides the basis to support comprehensive SWATH analysis," said Dr. Moritz, who is ISB's proteomics research director.
ISB aims to make the SWATH libraries available to the global scientific community to accelerate the use of SWATH for other biological research. ISB will develop new SWATH technologies and tools to enable the community to adopt comprehensive quantitative proteome analysis.
"Having the proteomics data standardized across laboratories and across samples really enables us to quantitate entire proteomes at a level that hasn't been done before," said Dr. Moritz. "We aim to define markers that can predict whether a patient will respond to a certain treatment or not, and applying SWATH will play a big part in taking our advancements to another level. Not only can we now complement the breadth of genomics, but we will have the much-needed libraries and software development going forward to make data-sharing quite easier and standardized."
AB Sciex forged this alliance with ISB through the AB Sciex Academic Partnership Program to help broaden the availability of new technologies to researchers delving into OMICS research around the world.
"What ISB does with SWATH will set a new benchmark in proteomics research," said Rainer Blair, president of AB Sciex. "Our collaboration with ISB will help drive SWATH into the mainstream of analytical science and make comprehensive, reproducible and simplified omics data more accessible to biologists around the world."
SWATH Acquisition was first made available to the worldwide scientific community back in April through a collaboration between AB Sciex and ETH Zurich.

Big Picture: The state of automation
Conveyor and sortation systems are using software and controls to manage the flow of goods while distributing work in a way that eliminates bottlenecks.
May 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Swisslog: From pallets to cases to pieces
The world of materials handling is getting smaller, says Markus Schmidt, senior vice president for Swisslog. "The order that shipped as a pallet a few years ago is shipped as a case today and will be shipped as a piece tomorrow," says Schmidt. "The quantities received at the store are smaller and more precise. This has a profound impact on the distribution center."
By precise, Schmidt means that stores want to receive their deliveries packed and sequenced in a way that reduces the labor requirement in the stores. "If you can do something in the DC that allows you to replenish the shelf in the right sequence, you can operate a store with one or two less employees," Schmidt says. "For a retailer with a thousand stores, that has a major impact. There's no way to achieve that without technology."
Those changes have opened the door for picking solutions that bring items to a workstation, such as multi-shuttles and mobile robotic solutions. "Kiva created a market for this type of entry-level, goods-to-person picking solution and we have a similar technology in our portfolio with the AutoStore," says Schmidt.
Schmidt believes the next horizon will be vision-guided, robotic piece-picking solutions and shuttles that can roam a facility to make a delivery. "Today, the shuttle delivers its load to a conveyor," says Schmidt. "Tomorrow, I believe we'll see the shuttle leave the racking and go where the conveyor would go. Think of it as a free-roaming shuttle solution."
