#16858 closed Bug (duplicate)
incr() on locmem cache resets the expiry time

Description (last modified by Alex)
On the locmem cache backend, calling incr() causes the key's timeout value to be reset to the default for the cache.
To reproduce:
- setup the default cache to be locmem and with a timeout of 1 second
>> cache.set('key', 10, 300) >> time.sleep(1) >> cache.get('key') 10 >> cache.incr('key') >> time.sleep(1) >> cache.get('key') None
The cache should still contain the key at the last line.
The problem comes from the implementation of incr() in base.py which uses get() and set() to implement incr(). Since set() is called without a timeout, the cache default time is used.

I'm assuming you consider this a bug, and would like it to not reset the expiry time ;) What's the justification for that behavior, memcached does it?
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by boxm
Yes, I consider this a bug.
As far as I can tell, memcached does not alter the expiry time of a key when incr()/decr() is called on it. Running the same test using a memcached cache backend, I get the value out at the end.
It seems highly counter-intuitive that updating a key's value should suddenly reset the timeout and cause the key to expire.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by Alex
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Well, I think the locmem's behavior is a bit more intuitive personally, but we've generally tried to make the "stupid" backends do what memcached would do, since they're often used in development/testing. Marking as accepted.

locmem cache's incr() will no longer change timeout to mimic memcached
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by manfre
- Needs tests unset
The original patch walked the expiration time forward by time.time() with each call to incr() and decr(). The new patch uses a special timeout value to skip setting the expiration time.

Springboro Jr High has gone digital and to a new curriculum!
We are addressing a new level of math skills, as well as greater problem solving and communication within our classrooms daily!
In addition, students are using the DIGITS system (REALIZE platform!) to complete their homework. This enables students to get immediate feedback and the opportunity to correct and improve their work.
If you are longing for a text book, click "SHOW AN EXAMPLE"...
If you would like to be assisted through the problem, click "HELP ME!"
Math 7 and Math 7 Enriched follow the state's new CORE curriculum for 7th grade. Students will complete a series of topics which build into one of the 5 units of study (ratios and proportions, algebra, geometry, statisitics and probability).
The nightly homework is the key to practice, improvement and success with the 7th grade curriculum. The homeowrk is part of the DIGITS program and can be assessed via multiple websites. I find the following to be very reliable: www.mymathdashboard.com
Remember, the homework is expected to be completed by the following class period. Completed includes (a) 10 (12 dfor enriched) of the problems attempted and (b) work process shown in an organized fashion in the spiral notebook.Students do have until the following SUNDAY by 10 pm to correct and improve their percentage grades! This allows for homework to be a learning process. Please feel free to assist your child in completing their homework, but I would advise against sitting with them to do the assignment. Fostering independence and life-long study skills are important aspects of student development.
My suggestion, have the student answer the first 5 problems independently, then assist them to corrent any that they missed. Repeat the process with the next 5, and so forth. When assisting your child, make sure they are using the available study -aides!
Class spiral notebook will have examples and practice problems that we have completed in class! This is a valuable resource and illustrated the expected "work to be shown"
"SHOW ME AN EXAMPLE" is a link available on every problem that allows student to open up the electronic text for assistance with the problem being attempted.
"HELP ME SOLVE THIS" will walk the student through the problem step by step!
Students have access to computers in my classroom any day, any class period. They can come from study hall, homeroom, and even lunch. Working lunches are even more beneficial if the student has packed thier lunch!
Homework help is available MONDAY thru THURSAY from 2:20-3:30 in the library at SJH. There is no charge, no sign-up. All students have to do is show up and they'll have a quiet environment with at least one math teacher there to help! Students do need transportaiton home at 3:20!

Guys with a fetish for extra big, extra sweet tits.
Lots of footage of giant-bazoomed women getting smeared with honey, chocolate and strawberry syrup, whipped cream and, of course, the requisite dick cream proves less than appetizing, as a result of, well, all that crap getting smeared together, as well as the shoddy production value and forced feel of the whole thing.
During the first scene - a poolside bonk between a mammoth-titted blonde and her pool boy - the sound is blatantly looped, with the couple's moans and "oh yeah"s appearing to be coming from an empty room in some other dimension. And the penultimate scene, with Allysin Embers getting her hefty cans felt up by some older horndog, cuts out right in the midst of his eating her out from behind and suddenly we're in a kitchen with the admittedly sexy brunette cover girl, who becomes a human sundae to be devoured by her sweet-toothed co-performer. Uh...yum?

Review: The Artist's Guide to GIMP
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
GIMP is part of the standard installation of most distributions. The average free software user opens it to resize a photo or to convert to a different graphics format, exactly as they might keep a Porsche around for trips to the corner store. But those who might wonder how to get more from GIMP, Michael J. Hammel's The Artist's Guide to GIMP, now in its second edition and covering GIMP 2.8, is a thorough place to start, even though it is not altogether free of the organizing problems that covering such a large topic.
GIMP is a graphics application (although admittedly not for text), so a book on it requires a certain level of typography for credibility. Its publisher, No Starch Press, as its name implies, is known for rudimentary covers, but The Artist's Guide more than meets expectations. Its landscape-oriented pages are each divided into two columns, with a ragged right alignment, and vary largely in exactly where the screen shot is placed in each column. The result is a layout that is both quietly stylish and functional, to say nothing of highly suitable for the subject.
Browsing the Sections
The Artist's Guide begins with a seventy page introduction to GIMP that summarizes its basic tools, ending with a few notes on how to use a digital camera with GIMP. Most of the rest of the book is a series of tutorials, each highlighting a few basic editing techniques, and divided into the categories of Web Design, Advertising and Special Effects, and Type Effects. The last chapter, Creative Inspirations, is a series of assorted projects that highlight techniques that don't fit elsewhere in the book, and involve a series of longer steps than most of the other tutorials.
This structure generally does a good job of covering what GIMP can do in less than three hundred pages. The introduction is particularly worth reading and is likely to have tidbit or two of useful information and even if you believe that you are already familiar with what GIMP has to offer.
The rest of the book, too, manages the difficult task of being both comprehensive and concise. In fact, the only major topic that I was able to detect that was not covered was GIMP's extensions and where to find them. There is an entire sub-culture out there dedicated to filters, and at the very least a few links could be given to give readers a place to start exploring.
I might also criticize the contents of the Web Design section. From the perspective of 2012, gel and metal buttons seem a topic that has strayed from the mid-1990s. I mean, when was the last time you saw a web page that used either? Today, a much more minimalist style prevails. Admittedly, the topics arranged under Web Design have to go somewhere, but the section as a whole is possibly obsolete.
Another minor problem is that, in covering so many topics, the book sometimes seems no more than a series of procedural steps. Although some procedures ends with a section that suggest further directions, and each section ends in tips for further exploration, more context would help to explain the relevance of the techniques that are so carefully explained.
Somewhat more seriously, although The Artist's Guide is organized around tutorials, the resources for following along with the book are given only haphazardly. The book does not come with a CD, and where to find most of the images used in the tutorial is omitted entirely. In the few exceptions, only a general web page is given, and users are left to their own guesses exactly where to find the image. While you could scan the required images, a little more attention to readers' convenience would improve the book considerably.
A book to keep in easy reach
These problems aside, The Artist's Guide is as comprehensive and organized in its coverage as the average user could want. Probably very few would want to take the necessary weeks of balancing the book between their knees and the keyboard to work through the book from beginning to end, but if they did, they would be utterly convinced of Hamel's contention that GIMP can more or less hold its own against PhotoShop and other comparable applications.
More likely, The Artist's Guide is a book that readers will dip into looking for specific information. Fortunately, the table of contents and the index are as well-organized as required, so readers should have no trouble locating the information they require.
These days, technical books are losing ground to online tutorials, even when they're available as an ebook. However, for anyone wanting to familiarize themselves with GIMP, The Artist's Guide, either as paper or an ebook, is one of the best resources on its subject available in any medium. Personally, I plan to keep it within arm's reach from my workstation, because I know that I am likely to be referring to it constantly.comments powered by Disqus

[RC3] Flex -vs- width
I was thinking that if I set a flex property and a width property that the width property would override the flex in 4.0.x. Does that sound right? Maybe it's not.
I did see, though, that in the documentation that in order to cancel flex you can use 0 or undefined. Seems in RC3 undefined isn't working to cancel flex, but 0 and null will.
Ext.widget('viewport', { layout: { type: 'hbox' , align: 'stretch' } , defaults: { flex: 1 } , items: [{ title: 'Panel 1' , width: 100 , flex: undefined //, flex: null }, { title: 'Panel 2' }, { title: 'Panel 3' }] });
12 Apr 2012 12:16 PM #2
Flex overrides.. It does this in 4.0 also. I'm using it as a feature, I guess this would be a breaking change and sencha may want to wait to 5.x before doing a change like this.Sven Tore Iversen
12 Apr 2012 12:19 PM #3
Oh, ok. Couldn't remember which overrode which.
The flex: undefined not cancelling in RC3 is different, though, right? Documentation still says use 0 or undefined so I wonder if that is a bug in RC3?
12 Apr 2012 11:37 PM #4
Initially 4.1 worked the other way round but it was switched to maintain compatibility. It should now behave the same as 4.0. I believes it's been this way for all the RCs.
I don't think there's a bug here. The docs for flex appear to be correct about the use of an undefined value. However, in your example the flex is not undefined because it is overridden by the defaults. I don't believe anything has changed from 4.0 in that regard.
13 Apr 2012 5:17 AM #5
I tried overriding the flex property with 0, null, and undefined in RC2 and each option resulted in the flex property overriding the config passed in by defaults. I did the same in RC3 and see that 0 and null override the defaults config, but undefined does not.
As soon as I loaded up RC3 when it was released I my flex layouts with flex undefined were all failing so I checked out the docs to see if undefined was no longer valid as a way to dismiss it in the flex layout, but RC3 docs still say 0 and undefined are the way to go. I changed each failing instance with flex: null and it works to dismiss the container from the flex layout, but wondered if it was a bug since the docs still say undefined or 0.
15 Apr 2012 5:15 PM #6
I've just tried this myself. It seems the priority switch occurred between RC1 and RC2, not before the RCs as I claimed previously.
Using either RC2 or RC3 I get the same behaviour as 4.0.7.
Perhaps we're reading different sections in the docs but I don't see a mistake. I'm looking at the docs for the config option flex, which appear to be correct to me. Using undefined as a flex value will cause it not to be flexed, however in your example the flex value is not undefined due to the use of defaults. I don't believe the way defaults are applied has changed at any point.

Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme Sport

The Cinnamon/Black tea in Gucci PH II
The Pineapple in Creed Aventus
The Berry+Whisky in Pure Malt.
V is for V by Valentino
Good deal but bad idea buying from ebay lol. I dont trust it even though there are reputable sellers.
Rose Oud because I love rose.
Try Fragrantica or online for new ones at cheaper than retail price such as:
Chanel Allure Homme SPort
Cereus No 4
Bleu De Chanel
Prada Amber Pour Homme.
Definitely need to sample this. The Chili/peppery scares me lol especially because I dont see how it can be combined with coffee.
Still didn't try this yet. What's it like? and how does it compare to PM/PH?
Pure Malt and Pure Havane last longer than that for me. At least 8 hours.
Nope. That's something a girl would do.
Escada Magnetism.
Orange Sanguine.
acqua di parma mandorlo di sicilia
Rose 31, Ambre Nuit, Eight and Bob
I personally find Pure Havane more wearable but Pure Malt has the better scent so voted Pure Malt.
Welcome Guys!
All of these cleared through customs for me without paying anything extra.
PM.PH and DHI are all on my top 10. Love them all.
Also try Dior Ambre Nuit
Creed MI Used bottle.
Ye its a bit generic but the ladies love it!
Givenchy Play Intense.
I still havent tried the original LIDG. Neither of the fragrances OP listed WOWed me tbh.
Wow sucks for you guys.
My last name.
Santal 33
Voted ADG but also try
Versace Man Eau Fraiche
Chanel ALlure Homme sport.
Drakkar Noir
Wouldnt recommend daily. Only good for close encounters and maybe winters but doesnt even last long.
What do you guys do with empty bottles?
I actually keep it but now considering throwing it all away.
Is there a market where people actually buy empty bottles?

I missed the citrus state. I will try to get a decant/sample from someone and test it out again.
I tried it 3 times. Too bitter for my taste. If it was a little sweeter cocoa, I would've kept it. I dont even smell the cocoa, unless its the bitter stuff im smelling.
Amouage Jubilation XXV
Amouage Lyric Man
Ambre Nuit
Why rely on others when you have all the power to take control?
Omg I didn't like this at all!
Good find.
F by Ferragamo might turn a bit sour on skin. They F Black.

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Expiration Dates
If you buy stock options, the expiration date is the last day you have to exercise your options (i.e., either buy or sell the stocks at the strike price).
If you wait past the expiration date, your options expire and become worthless: you can't sell it or trade it or use it to buy or sell stocks, and whatever money you've paid for the stock option has now gone up in smoke.
That's why it's as important to pay attention to option expiration dates as it is to pay attention to the expiration dates of stuff in your fridge. Usually, the expiration date for stocks in the U.S. is the third Friday of the month.

I'm using the Mars Spirit template from Alex King's site, which I've tried to modify a bit, although I am having a struggle with some things. But all in all it's working quite well.
I must say that trying to maintain the XHTML compliancy is sheer hell for me :) so I gave up!
Anyway, I'd appreciate some of you guys taking a look over it and letting me know what you think so far. If you spot any glaring boo boos or have any ideas on how I can improve it, I'd love to hear about that too! Thanks!

The hilarious Matthew Broussard was once declared "Houston's Funniest Person," but only because Beyoncé didn't enter that year.
"Tallulah" star Allison Janney is nominated for an Emmy for her work on "Mom" AND on "Masters of Sex." We're pretty sure she'll get an Emmy just for coming on our show, too.
Nate Diaz shocked the UFC world when he beat featherweight champion Conor McGregor, and now they're facing off again at UFC 202 on Saturday, August 20th. Nate might have a thing or two to say about the whole thing.
Autolux's new album is entitled Pussy's Dead. We're pretty sure they're just talking about their poor deceased cat, Mom.
In "Bad Moms" Mila plays one of the titular bad mothers. But if Mila is bad, then we don't wanna be good.
Will Greenberg plays the resident island douchebag Todd on "Wrecked." We're just shocked that there's a douchebag on TV and he's NOT named Chad.
Local Native's new album is Sunlit Youth, which also would make for a great Instagram filter name.
Christina Applegate plays a mean girl in mom form in "Bad Moms". But even when she's awful, we can't help but like her.
Adrienne C. Moore stars in "Orange is the New Black," which we love and not just because we have a thing for the color orange.
Some of our favorite things that are from Denmark: soul-popsters Lukas Graham, moody Prince Hamlet, and of course, danishes. Lukas Graham's self-titled U.S. debut album is available now.

I'm trying to set up msmtp with a MobileMe/iCloud account. I have 2 other accounts set up, and they both work just fine. But with the MobileMe account, I'm getting an error:

This is crazy, because the from address provided is absolutely my address. I've entered it in multiple times just to be sure, same error each time. I'm kind of at my wits end here. Any ideas on how to debug this? Is there a chance that MobileMe is rejecting emails sent from non-applemail clients?

After discovering a few cuts and bruises, she turned her
attention to what she was sitting on.
"There was definitely a small cow, so maybe a calf and a
sheep and wetas and stuff like that. They were well dead,
mainly just bones. It wasn't too bad, it was just cold -
really, really cold."
The Nelson doctor had been out on Takaka Hill, near the
Ngarua Caves, yesterday checking out a course for an
orienteering event when she came across the sinkhole, which
was much larger than she thought.
"We found this site where we were planning to put a
[orienteering] control so went down to put my little tag
there and lo and behold it turned into a bit bigger than a
little depression."
The 44-year-old fell suddenly and couldn't grab anything to
hold on to.
"I fell straight into the hole and screamed," she told the
Herald soon after her rescue. Her friend Karen Monahan walked
on ahead unaware of what had happened.
"Karen wandered off to check something. I don't know if she
heard me scream or not, but she came back to look for me and
heard me down there, so it's lucky I wasn't knocked out."
Dr Clendon checked herself for injuries and was amazed she
wasn't badly hurt.
"I'm really lucky. I might need stitches to the knee, got a
good bash to the head and some cuts and scrapes and bruises,
but otherwise I'm all good."
Her knee was being x-rayed last night.
"The first thing I thought was, 'I haven't broken anything',
then, 'That's a bit sore, so maybe I have'."
Dr Clendon was carrying a personal locator beacon in her
backpack and set it off, and then put on some warm clothes.
And while she waited for help, she bandaged her knee.
Leo Viersma was one of six cavers who came to her rescue. "A
lot of the caving community have been out and about doing
caving with the new explorations and stuff so there are very
few left in Nelson, but we cobbled together six cavers."
Mr Viersma, who was involved in the 2007 rescue of another
doctor, Michael Brewer, from a cave system on Takaka Hill,
said one team member was sent down the tomo to assess the
situation and put Dr Clendon in a harness.
Three lines were thrown down - one for the rescuer, the
second for the haul system and the third as a backup. Mr
Viersma called instructions from the surface but could not
see anyone until they were 2m from the surface.
"I had to make sure it was all going right and nothing was
getting caught up, as well as checking there was no slack in
the line - so if something went wrong she wouldn't fall very
He said it took only about 20 minutes to get Dr Clendon out,
but much longer to set up and dismantle all the rescue

Sultan of Sultans
Sultan of Sultans is the literal English translation of the Ottoman Turkish royal title Sultan es-Selatin or Sultan us-Selatin. It is similar to the regal style Great Sultan (Ulugh Sultan), which is translated from Arabic.
As with various other laudatory titles of Semitic origin, such as "King of Kings", Sultan of Sultans can express a claim of imperial rank up to and including universal legitimate sovereignty. Although the notion and title of an emperor is largely alien to Islamic tradition, the Ottoman dynasty which, employed the title of "Sultan of Sultans" in its official full style had perhaps the best claim to usage due to its territorial extent and great length. The Ottomans also adopted the traditional Byzantine imperial title Caesar for their own ruler (the Padishah).
The Shahanshah (Persian for "King of Kings") of Iran also claimed, with slightly less legitimacy, to be the "Sultan of Sultans". These assertions were tied to the conflict between the Sunni and Shiite branches of Islam.
The title has also been appropriated for local use by various minor Muslim rulers, especially in Bengal.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Out Next Wednesday
Written Wednesday, November 19, 2008 By Dan WebbView author's profile
By now everyone is either going through their games list deleting the 0 point games, dressing their avatars up to be crazy ass mofos or clicking through every tab and section of the NXE to see what's new.
Well personally, I was the latter and stumbled across a Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix section; totally SSFIITHDR branded with game content in other games, themes ... oh and a release date for the much anticipated (by me anyway) arcade title.
The release date as predicted by many, myself included is next week, November 26th. So get those thumbs ready and hopefully the classic style of Street Fighter in HD isn't ruined by the 360's absolutely shocking d-pad.

Packers president: Team will eventually retire No. 4
Published: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 10:59 a.m.
HACKLEBURG, Ala. — Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy says the team will eventually retire Brett Favre's No. 4, but they want to make sure he's really retired.
Murphy says it will likely be a few years. He says when Favre retired after the 2007 season they planned a ceremony at the opening game against the Vikings but then Favre went to play for the Jets.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported (http://bit.ly/lbideu ) that Murphy made the comments about Favre in Ashland Thursday during the Tailgate Tour.
Murphy says Favre deserves the honor for what he did as a Packer. He says they want to do it at a time when it's meaningful for Favre and the organization.
On Wednesday, Favre says he has no intention of coming out of retirement.
Favre said he was "done with football" when asked Wednesday if he might attempt another comeback. Favre, a spokesman for Wrangler jeans, met with employees at a Wrangler plant that was destroyed by recent tornadoes that devastated the region.
Favre signed autographs for members of the Hackleburg High School football team and Wrangler employees.
Favre, who last played in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, couldn't escape talking football. When he first stepped out of his vehicle, he was greeted by Marion County Commission President Don Barnwell, who asked him if he was going to play football this year.
As for the NFL lockout, Favre says he doesn't know if there "would be any football" this year.

The birdwatchers of Central Park were buzzing–a young red-tailed hawk had been spotted, would he stay? The bird they dubbed Pale Male not only stayed, he became one of New York City's most famous residents. Pale Male and his mate built their nest near the top of one of Fifth Avenue's swankiest apartment buildings. Nine years and 23 chicks later, Pale Male's fame had grown so large that a CBS newsman named him Father of the Year! But Pale Male was less beloved by the residents of the building, and in 2004 the owners suddenly removed the nest–setting off an international outcry on behalf of the birds.
About the Author
Janet Schulman has worked in children's book publishing for nearly forty years and is currently Editor-at-Large and Division Vice President of Random House and Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers. She is the author of many books for children and is the editor of The 20th Century Children's Book Treasury: Celebrated Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud. Ms. Schulman lives in New York City.
MEILO SO is the illustrator of such beautiful, award-winning books such as Moonbeams, Dumplings, and Dragon Boats: A Treasury of Chinese Holiday Tales, Activities, and Recipes and The White Swan Express: A Story about Adoption. She lives in the Shetland Islands, UK.
Praise For…
Starred Review, School Library Journal, January 2008:
"From the eye-catching endpapers ... to the energetic city scenes, readers experience New Yorkers' excitement about Pale Male ... and understand why his story has captured the interest of so many people."
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, January 28, 2008:
"[T]his version stands out for its urbane, reportorial prose and stylish watercolors ... by the final page, even readers who live far from Manhattan will appreciate that Pale Male's significance and stature rise well beyond those of media darling."
Starred Review, Booklist, February 15, 2008:
" Beautiful contrasting views of the bird soaring above the wild park and the forest of the skyscrapers will ignite children's curiosity in both urban animals and the caring people who help protect them."
Starred Review, Horn Book, March/April 2008:
"This third recent picture book about the red-tailed hawks that have nested on a posh building across from Central Park since the 1990s is the best so far."
Review, New York Times Book Review, June 1, 2008:
"[Schulman's] language is sophisticated and wry . . . [and] the watercolor illustrations, by Meilo So, are luminous."

The NHLPA's Recent Offer
Kent Wilson
November 21 2012 12:25PM
The players union unveiled a new CBA offer this morning. It is fairly comprehensive and, unlike some of their previous offerings, has a sound basis for negotiation (from a league perspective, naturally).
The most significant movement is on the issue of player share of hockey reltaed revenue. The players accept an immediate 50/50 with the stipulation that the teams "make whole" existing contracts to he tune of $393 million spread over four years:

Patient Rights (cont.)
The doctor has the duty to continue a patient's healthcare after consenting to provide medical care unless the patient no longer requires treatment for the illness. The doctor must notify the patient and transfer care to another acceptable doctor if planning to withdraw care. The doctors may be charged with negligent abandonment for ending the relationship with the patient without appropriate referral, transfer, or discharge. Although doctors are free to choose which patients they will treat, doctors should offer optimal care for patients who need emergency first-aid treatment.

Leap second creates havoc for cloud computing services
Did the "leap second" get you down this weekend? Did the Amazon cloud computing services outage prevent you from watching old episodes of Louie on your iPad's Netflix app? Us too.

Yammer does little to boost Microsoft's enterprise collaboration wares
So, with its $1.2 billion acquisition of Yammer, Microsoft confirms its desire to become a player in "enterprise social." My question is, since when was the company not all about enterprise collaboration?
Windows has been enterprises' de facto collaboration platform for the last 20 years. It's had hooks into instant messaging (Windows Messenger), messaging and collaboration (Outlook and SharePoint), and even cloud services (Windows Live services) for a long time. But maybe a lot of that "old" software now is starting to hold Microsoft back.
If you listen to the rhetoric from Redmond following the Yammer acquisition, you'd think none of those legacy platforms mattered. Yammer makes a difference because, as CEO Steve Ballmer points out, it "underscores our commitment to deliver technology that businesses need and people love."
The company shelled out $8.5 billion for Skype just about a year ago. Besides being the leader in Internet video and phone calls, Skype has a great chat feature. Now, with Yammer, that makes three chat platforms in the Microsoft arsenal.
Maybe this is about making sure that the ready-to-be-released Windows 8 operating system and Surface tablets have the most recent collaboration software, without having to rejigger existing software or develop new applications.
But let's understand one thing: Microsoft will have a place in enterprise collaboration for a long time to come, given its install base and the remnants of enterprise computing that will remain tethered to a desktop or laptop. However, it's no longer the king of collaboration, with Apple, Google and Facebook, among others, having claimed huge numbers of users who have changed their ways of doing things forever.

Also according to the survey, 9% of respondents will "definitely" purchase a smartphone within the next year, and 12% will "probably" purchase a smartphone in 2012 — meaning that a whopping 57% of global consumers potentially will own a smartphone within the next year.
Since 2010, there has been a marked growth in online and mobile technologies. According to the survey, 74% of respondents reported watching videos on the Internet, and 56% of consumers said they watch videos on their mobile phones at least once a month. With more users watching video on computers, online or on mobile phones, home television use dropped 7% between 2010 and 2011.
The Nielsen Co.'s Global Online Consumers and Multi-Screen Media report surveyed more than 28,000 Internet consumers in 56 countries to analyze their multi-screen media use, device ownership and purchasing intentions, as well as to gauge how they see mobile technology's role in the future.
Using smartphones to make purchases in stores instead of cash, cards or checks also has the potential for market share. About 11% of the consumers Nielsen surveyed said they "definitely" would use their smartphones to make payments in shops and restaurants if the option was available, and 24% said that they "probably" would.
"The impact of mobile technology can be felt around the globe and touches all aspects of life, from entertainment and shopping to business and personal communication," said Amilcar Pérez, president of telecommunications for Nielsen.
Because of the increasing popularity of smartphones and new trends in mobile device use, are tablets next? As of 2012, 31% of global consumers either own or reported they were planning to purchase a tablet device within the next year. In the United States, a similar survey among owners of tablets and digital readers has followed the same pattern, increasing from 18% in December 2010 to 29% in January 2012.
Web censorship: Should you be alarmed?
Each week, we scour the Web looking for the choicest bits of blogs and news that midmarket CIOs will find appealing. This week, we're taking a hard look at Web censorship, the Google Nexus release and how big data is fueling smartphone apps in ways you'd never imagine.
Google reports an alarming rise in Web censorship by international governments in the last six months, according to its latest reports. The surprising thing is that most of those requests are coming from democracies.
Take one guess at the most important demographic in the tech industry. Now guess again, because your first guess was probably wrong.
Most of us have SoundHound or Shazam on our smartphones to help us play the "What's that song?" game when out and about. But most users never realize that their smartphone apps are fueled by big data.
Got employees that work the 24/7 shift? Not the best strategy for success.
If you have stock in Nokia, you probably don't want to read Andy Blumenthal's latest.
Big bonus for the gadget-crazed among us: It's rumored that Google's first Android tablet will be called the Asus Nexus 7. Kind of rolls off your tongue, doesn't it?
Speaking of tablets, Microsoft will not be announcing a partnership with Barnes & Noble this afternoon. Sorry, Charlie.
A proposed new Web censorship status code 451 would pay homage to recently deceased science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury.
The role of the CIO is changing: What is your company doing about it?
I am going through the data from the second annual SearchCIO.com Role of the CIO survey. So far, the data suggests more skewing toward business transformation and innovation and away from "traditional" senior IT roles, such as supporting predefined business initiatives. More on that in the next few weeks.
And as we have been writing about here in the CIO/IT Strategy Media Group for some time now, the "new" CIO is many things to many different companies. But our SearchCIO.com news director did a little digging into just exactly what kinds of skills companies are asking for in their top IT executives, and the answers are very interesting.
Here's a sampling:
- The vertical virtuoso
- The enforcer
- The protector
- The translator
- The negotiator
Not only do they sound like some real or potential Hollywood action flicks, these job skills show how intertwined the CIO and senior IT have become in the inner workings of the business as a whole. Non-IT executives should remember that when they are looking for ways to transform their businesses for today's uncertain markets.
The Apple Retina display: Big whoop?
Each week, we round up an executive summary of the high points around the blogosphere. This week, we're taking a look at the legality of Internet traffic regulation and how the big Internet companies deal with change haters. For gadget lovers, we're also looking at the new Apple Retina display, the new Google tablet and whether ultrabooks have a hope of replacing tablet devices in the BYOD landscape.
- Ultrabooks are blurring the lines between laptops and tablet devices, but the real question is whether your employees will use them to hit the network on the sly.
- Did you hear the one about how the United Nations is going to take over the Internet? Hands off our tablet devices, guys.
- We've all heard about Google's and Facebook's iterative changes — usually from users who are complaining about those same changes. Here's the inside scoop on how they jockey that user feedback internally.
- Gadget lovers rejoice: Google is launching its own Android tablet devices this month, while Tim Cook announced a new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with the Apple Retina display at this week's WorldWide Developer's Conference in San Francisco.
- The question of booth babes at IT conferences is discussed as a symptom of the male gaze.
- If you're worrying about whether the United States can win a cyberwar, stop worrying — it can't, and here's why.
- Were people seriously concerned about a brave new world without the Apple Retina display?
Let's not go overboard about Flame malware
Similar to nuclear war scenarios, the most significant damage the recently discovered Flame malware will inflict comes from its fallout rather than from the initial blast.
The seriousness of Flame is real: Flame and the Duqu and Stuxnet malware are capable of attacking national critical infrastructure. The U.S. used Stuxnet against Iran's nuclear program, which, given the many alternatives, seems like a pretty good idea. The same virus programs, however, could be used against any system that attackers wanted to target, including those in the U.S., and put millions of people at risk.
On the other hand, experts say there isn't anything special about Flame and that it can be easily defended against with conventional security tools and policies. Microsoft this week revoked fraudulent certificates used by the Flame malware toolkit. Some experts say there is a bigger threat to businesses from application-level exploits by individual hackers than from the Flame-category cyberespionage attacks.
Two points are emerging in the wake of the discovery of Flame. One is (needless) panic; the second is a call for international treaties banning cyberwarfare. A big push for this is coming from Eugene Kaspersky, an influential security expert and founder of Russian antivirus company Kaspersky Labs, and the Russian government. Both entities are well populated with talented malware security experts, both legitimate and criminal.
As we have learned over the past decade, the best policy for security is openness. If we start making any kind of code or use of code illegal, we are going to have more problems than the threat of cyberattack. As the saying goes, if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.
Corporate innovation: Why you're never going to win
We scoured last week's blogs for the best and brightest blog posts and media on topics of interest to midmarket CIOs. This week we're examining the problems that plague midsize corporations, like middle-management tar pits and stuck organizations. We also look at the challenge of constant corporate innovation, as the Chief Innovation Officer must be a problem-solver as well as a visionary. Here are the high points of the braintrust that caught our editors' eyes last week.
With Facebook's disappointing IPO fallout, Allen Gannett has declared that the social media bubble has officially been popped. No offense, Allen, but we're going to hold off on last rites for a bit.
Gartner has its own Gandalf in Mark P. McDonald, and he thinks that a CIO's main problem is too few managers and too many administrators.
Are you willing to ignore dissent in your user community? If not, you might be stuck, according to Seth Godin.
CIOs are always chasing corporate innovation, but how do you measure the speed at which you chase it? Check out the Innovation Ambition Matrix.
Why do we innovate? Because you innovate or you die, says blogger Stefano Boscutti.
There are four zones for corporate innovation: Where does your team fall on Jim Kalbach's scale?
Smartphone usage a sign of impending mobility tsunami
Consider your own smartphone use when you engage with other businesses — whether it's checking your servers with a thin client or watching the latest episode of "New Girl." You rely on those apps. They have become a part of your life in some ways. In general, enterprise companies tend to have their ducks in a row, but midmarket companies are all over the board. Some companies dipped a toe into mobility early in the game and are already reaping rewards. For instance, Papa Gino's, a New England pizza chain, engaged customers with a mobile app for ordering hot, fresh pies on the go, and increased their sales by 10%. Meanwhile, Dealer Services Corp. CIO Chris Brady implemented a mobile business intelligence solution to arm her internal customers when they were on the road. But not every CIO has been so forward-thinking.
In the last five months, mobile Internet traffic has shown tremendous growth compared with desktop usage. During this week's D10 conference, analyst Mary Meeker noted that the number of Americans owning digital reading devices or tablets had a huge spike over the holidays, with almost one-third of all Americans reporting that they now own a Kindle, Nook, iPad or similar technology. Add that to the exponential growth of smartphone usage and iPad business apps — the future of mobile computing is impossible to ignore. There's no sign of a smartphone usage tipping point– as Barney Stinson might say, it's all rise.
2012 is turning out to be the Year of the App — again. Midmarket CIOs can no longer afford to "wait and see" when it comes to mobilizing their innovation. Check out my Midmarket Matters column for more of Meeker's insights on the future of mobile technology.
Strategic and agile equals true business transformation
Linda Tucci raised a great point in her debut CIO Matters column last week. That is, and I'm paraphrasing, how far have CIOs really come in this digital age from being caretakers of technology to leaders of business transformation?
Or are the two roles really inseparable from one another?
It's both, and that's the real challenge in business transformation. Technologies are changing fast, but the implications of those technological changes are accelerating even faster. The Facebook idea of "agility above all," however, is flawed, in my opinion. As Tucci points out, the "shoot first, ask questions later" approach of the Web era is the very antithesis of the kind of business-transformation strategic approach that CIOs need to embrace.
The most successful IT leaders these days are those who are trying to synthesize both worlds: strategic but agile. You are seeing that synthesis in BYOD "implementations", if you will — empowering the productivity of the employees while ultimately maintaining control of the devices.

Current sensing is widely used in power electronic applications such as dc-dc power converters and adjustable-speed motor drives. Such power converters are the basic building blocks of drivetrains in electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The performance and control of such vehicles depend on the accuracy, bandwidth, and efficiency of its sensors. Various current-sensing techniques based on different physical effects such as Faraday's induction law, Ohm's law, Lorentz force law, the magnetoresistance effect, and the magnetic saturation effect are described in this paper. Each technique is reviewed and examined. The current measurement methods are compared and analyzed based on their losslessness, simplicity, and ease of implementation.

AbstractAlthough there are some analytical tools available in the literature, they are not necessary aiming at blast survivability designs. Although there are some composite structures and armors available in the market, they are not necessary of optimal designs. There is still a room to improve the analytical tools and a way to achieve optimal composite designs. This proposed project is to develop a multi-functional blast model and to formulate a numerically accurate and computationally efficient finite element code. With the incorporation of the blast model into the finite element code, the analytical tool will be used to design composite structures based on micro-macro topology controls. As all analytical tools require verification and all simulation results require validation, an innovative experimental technique will be required to complete the optimization process of the composite designs. The innovative technique is based on a shock tube. With slight modification, the shock tube has been converted into a laboratory blast testing facility in Phase I project. It will be extended to applications including debris impact and crash impact associated with the blast attacks in Phase II project. Once an optimal composite structure is completed, it will be subjected to field blast test for final verification.

IMF praises economic growth in Slovakia, calls for tighter policies
IMF praises economic growth in Slovakia, calls for tighter
policies. The IMF evaluated positively the
economic performance of Slovakia during the last couple of
years, the preliminary conclusion of the
article IV consultation mission stated. The report noted that
it was due equally to prudent
macroeconomic management as well as comprehensive structural
reforms in the banking sector, the
labour market and the public sector. The short-run outlook,
according to the IMF, points to a GDP
growth of around 5% y/y in both 2004 and 2005 while at the
same time the current account deficit
should worsen to 3% of GDP in 2004. The mission, however,
stressed that this deficit was well below
the sustainable limit of 6%. Despite the overall positive
developments, the IMF underlined that the
targeted convergence with the EU required the completion of
the reforms and their sustaining.
Moreover, the mission concluded that the monetary policy
needed to turn its attention to inflationtargeting
rather than correcting the exchange rate appreciation.
Accordingly, it emphasized that there
was not much room for further interest rate cuts in the future
as it saw inflationary risks ahead. These
were related to the shrinking of the output gap, high oil
prices, wage policies in the non-tradable sector
and at last but not at least, to the fiscal impulse. The
report estimated that the projected by the
authorities fiscal consolidation was not enough and provided
an expansionary impulse to the economy,
amounting to 0.75% and 0.25% of GDP in 2004 and 2005
respectively. Consequently, the IMF
recommended that the government adopts a more ambitious budget
deficit reduction course till 2007
than 3% of GDP and noted that leaving no margin, compared to
the Maastricht criteria, was too risky.

Skip to comments.DeLay Guilty of Money Laundering
Posted on 11/24/2010 3:18:25 PM PST by Non-Sequitur
For five years, the case against Tom DeLay for money laundering through his Texans for a Republican Majority PAC has been seemingly trapped in the Texas courts facing pre-trial appeals. On November 1, it finally made it to trial and today the verdict is in: guilty on both money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The slightly-less-than-humble DeLay lost his majority leadership in Congress after the indictment came down, but he has maintained his claims that this case was politically motivated throughout the entire process right up to defense attorney Dick DeGuerin's closing arguments.
The jury clearly didn't buy his argument and now DeLay is potentially facing life in prison on money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering charges. DeLay is accused of channeling $190,000 in corporate money through his Texans for a Republican Majority PAC in 2002 to aid GOP candidates.
I was stunned to hear he could be sentenced up to 99 years
I'm sure he had a jury of his peers.I bet he wins on appeal.
The appeal will clear him.
Meanwhile, my current and soon to be former congressman did basically the same thing and paid a $250,000 fine and went on to DC.

The only thing worse than going before a jury on a Friday is going before a jury just before a four day holiday weekend.

A Republican can't count on a fair trial in Travis County. That's why the Democrats set it up to have the political trials there (the republicans have been too gutless to change it since they took over.)
So the verdict shouldn't surprise anyone.
I gotta think the recent Supreme Court decision striking down a lot of the campaign finance laws will mean that the conviction is overturned in federal court.
I have to say I am stunned.
Jurors sent a note on yellow legal paper that a verdict had been reached to the judge at 4:46 p.m. They had deliberated since Monday afternoon.
They sent word that they had reached a verdict at 4:46 p.m. today.
DeLay was charged with money laundering and conspiracy to commit money. He faces a possible sentence of 5-99 years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine on the money laundering charge, and 2-20 years in prison and a possible $10,000 fine on the conspiracy charge.
This could set the tone for what happens to a number of Democrats in the coming year with Republicans in control of Congress.
I'm not in favor of Democrat or GOP crooks. Throw the bums out and into jail if they have committed crimes.
This persecution of Tom Delay is beyond unbelievable. Every politician could be convicted of money laundering with these standards. Perhaps politics should be illegal.
Ridiculous verdict!!!
I don't believe he's guilty but the jury verdict stands. I hope/pray he wins on appeal.
Regardless, this presents an opportunity to prosecute numerous Demo0crats for similar and worse abuses or the system. Failure to do that negates efforts to 'clean up' congress and hold them accountable. IF Delay can be convicted on such flimsy evidence, surly Pelosi, Franks, Dodd, Reid and others deserve similar scrutiny.
I don't know the facts in the case. Nevertheless, if he did do this, then I have no sympathy. I play by the rules, and so should Mr. Delay.
A Republican cant count on a fair trial in Travis County. Thats why the Democrats set it up to have the political trials there (the republicans have been too gutless to change it since they took over.)
They need to go farther and take this kind of investigations out of the hands of the Travis County DA and place it in the hands of the State Attorney General. This is more of a statewide investigation rather than a local County investigation.
What else is a PAC supposed to do?
Facts often times don't matter. Politics does.
Amen. And let's start at the Oval Office!!
I am stunned and pissed!
I sure didn't see that coming.
In Austin? I did.
Show trial by a political prosecutor in a leftist jurisdiction.
I know of several GOP crooks in TX and elsewhere. I wouldn't want life in prison for them though.
I'm not here to defend wrongdoing. I still find it somewhat difficult to believe that standing out front of an election precinct with a night-stick is okay, and conducting fund-raising as it's been done for decades, is not.
With us it seems to be letter of the law, and with the Left it seems always to be attributable to a simple misunderstanding.
Equal justice? Sure, and ACORN is just another wholesome entity on the American scene.
Hermandad Nacional registers illegals to vote in California, contributes to the loss of a Congressional seat? No problem. Don't do it again fellas.
Especially since the current Congress is raiding the national treasury to the tune of trillions of dollars with no consequence.
I didn't either, but I do want to hear more before I buy into this verdict.
Delay vs the corrupt slime from NY.
Wanna bet which one was much more corrupt?
Wanna bet which one gets the most severe penalties?
Answer: Q1: The black guy.
Answer: Q2: The white guy.
And we wonder why respect for congress is just below that of a fly that has landed on Barney...er ...a t*rd.
I always like it when the news report is so unbiased that they just give me the facts without throwing in opinion.
The al-qaida terrorist convicted of one of 284 counts last week will likely get a 20-30 year sentence, while DeLay could get 99. WTF?
You just watch this go away after an appeal.
Yes indeed! "The Hammer" should and must go free! He's a great Constitutional Conservative American Patriot in my estimation.
One of the many data points that make Tom DeLay a good man is that he got a 0% approval rating from the union thugs of the AFL-CIO. Another plus for Mr. DeLay is his total and complete disapproval from the Marxist/Leninist outfit known as the ACLU.
These trumped up charges against this fine Texan come from fifth columnists.
Corporate donations to a PAC are money laundering? That ought to make a lot of corporations and PACs nervous. And will Democrats who do this get the same penalties? Not a chance.
What about infanticide? Bill, Hillary and Obama are all guilty. They should all be tried at a international court for crimes against humanity, who is more innocent than a unborn baby?
This rant is not aimed at anybody here, just saying that this verdict is ridiculous, and clearly the jury was selected for their left leaning politics! These jury picking experts are good at doing this.
I wonder if there was a democrat on the jury that was highly pissed off about the recent election/Bristol Palin/Sarah Palin/global warming/etc.
Not to pick-nits, appellate courts don't "clear" people. Appellate courts her appeals from litigants (defendants, in this case) that argue the trial judge erred in his application of law. They don't find fact, therefor they can't "clear" anyone. If the judge made no mistake(s), the verdict will unlikely be overturned. Even if it was, Delay would then put him at the mercy of another prosecution.
Succinctly put, this is bad.
I haven't seen anywhere that the prosecution proved any of them other than Delay potentially knew about the swap and may have lied about it.
Is this correct?
Once upon a time when I said that there were different rules for dhimmicrats than for Republicans I was being facetious - no more.
I don't understand this case. Maybe someone knowledgable can tell me if I have this right or wrong.
Delay had at least $190,000 in his PAC. He asked for corporate contributions and got at least $190,000 from corporations. He then gave $190,000 for various Republicans running for Texas office.
DeLay's interpretation of this is that he gave the non-corporation money to the Republicans and just refilled the PAC with corporate money. The conviction is based on the interpretation that the $190,000 given to Republicans came from the corporations. And since it is illegal for corporations to donate to Texas candidates, then it would be illegal for Delay to give them money indirectly from corporations using his PAC.
Do I have that right? That Delay's argument is that he had enough non-corporation private donation money in his PAC that it covered the $190,000 given to the Texas GOP candidates?
If I have this right, this is like telling a food stamp recipient he can't use his new $100 food stamp to buy booze, but giving him that $100 for food frees up the $100 he was going to use for food that is now available for booze. Sleezy and against intent, but perfectly legal as long as he does not use the actual food stamp money directly for booze.
Do I have this case right or am I missing out on the details?
He had the best defense attorney in the state and they could not stall the case going to the jury a couple more days.
The jurors looked at each other and decided, "We are going home for Thanksgiving and in order to do that we have to sent Tom to prison."
This was a political show trial on trumped charges tried with a politicized, hostile jury.
If there is any justice, Delay will win on appeal. Compared to what we are seeing with the Democrats for the last several years, Delays charges are like giving out a speeding ticket at the Indy 500
As I understand, the jury foreperson was a female Greenpeace activist. There were six Democrats, 1 Republican, 3 Liberal Independents and 2 "Moderate" Independents.
Just like the Scooter Libby trial, this was a travesty. I pray for true Justice to come to our country. It isn't here now.
Democrats literally get away with murder. Republicans get their lives ruined or 99 years for non-crimes.
I agree with you but I am NOT convinced everyone is playing by the same rules. NO offense, but does appear this has to play out before we react.
OTOH, there is nothing stopping us from commenting to the same 'powers that be'.
"...Clinton`s and Obama`s are walking around free???"
and likely Rangel.
November 6th, 2012: please come sooner!
Travis County District Attorney, Ronnie Earle (D) has prosecuted 16 politicians : twelve democrats and four republicans. He successfully prosecuted a state treasurer, a House speaker, a state Supreme Court justice and several legislators all Democrats. Republicans cite his case against Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison as example of partisanship. When the Democratic judge ruled computer records inadmissable, Earle dropped that case. He has a 91 percent conviction rate in jury trials.
US Rep. Tom DeLay on Earle - "partisan fanatic" and "a runaway district attorney
Rep. Henry Bonilla (San Antonio) - "a partisan crackpot"
(About.com US Politics)
Nor do I! If he's found guilty then get him out of office, I'm tired of trying to defend these guys against a number of libtards on a local website.........
Not to pick-nits, appellate courts don't "clear" people. Appellate courts her appeals from litigants (defendants, in this case) that argue the trial judge erred in his application of law. They don't find fact, therefor they can't "clear" anyone.
Small exception in Louisiana, where a court of appeal ( not court of appeals in La) can, if they wish, review the facts. Typically they do not.
Agree that this is bad. It is a BS political trial.
The campain finance laws are complicated and convoluted, basically f'd up. It's like the tax code, I try my best to be correct and even use a software program. But I can't tell you with 100% certainty that they are correct.
The essence of the case involves the state law and was it broken........
Delay, a Republican who was nicknamed The Hammer because of his heavy-handed style, was accused of conspiring to funnel $190,000 of corporate money through the Republican National Committee, which sent $190,000 in campaign donations to seven GOP candidates for the Texas House.
State law prohibits corporations from giving donations to candidates directly or indirectly.
This is a joke, right?
IMO this is a victimless crime

The hard drive I have is the same as displayed in the image at http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/09/seagate-freeagent-xtreme-1tb/4.jpg but the 1.5TB version with eSATA and Firewire.
The hard drive is in use on my MAC and has been for a couple of years or so. Beginning of last week the hard drive did not fire up as it should.
It began making steady but faint beeps at around 3-5 second intervals but not actually get to the regular 'spin' sound it would make, usually within a couple of seconds of the computer being switched on and my computer does not recognise that an external hard drive is connected.
This hard drive contains quite crucial business files, documents and complete projects.
I foolishly had put off backing up the content on this drive as it grew and grew and I assumed the task to backup would be time consuming.
It is crucial that I am able, if not get the hard rive to a functioning state again, that at the very list I can recover the files and data.
I am fairly computer literate and technically able so I am looking for advice for a DIY recovery / repair.
Alternatively as a last resort I am prepared to seek out a data recovery professional - what should I look for in one and how do they usually work?
I have learnt my lesson but any help in recovery or repair will be very gratefully received.

The staying power of the "should RGIII run less????" debate has been truly monumental. With the Nats embarking on their most important season to date and the Caps fighting for a playoff spot, I heard one local sports-talk program last week again going over the same should-he-or-shouldn't-he questions that dominated local airwaves most of the fall.
