In a response to an application that was originally reported to allow users to strip DRM encoding from Windows Media files, Microsoft has quickly issued a patch that circumvents the utility. Engadget.com originally reported on a small utility called FairUse4WM able to remove DRM information from WMA files to allow playback on any device. The new update from Microsoft updates the individualized blackbox component (IBX) that exists in PlayForSure. The update was released on Monday and content service providers received an email from Microsoft advising to install the update. According to the Microsoft's email:
In response, on August 28, 2006, Microsoft released an update to the individualized blackbox component (IBX) designed to ensure that client applications using the Windows Media Format SDK version 9.5 who individualize to this latest version are robust against a new circumvention tool.Consumers are not at risk in any way. Content services can require that the updates be present in order to issue licenses by following the instructions below. Please note that the version number of IBX was not incremented as part of these updates to avoid delaying the release of these critical breach mitigations. Consequently, the only way to determine if the update is installed is to query the build number of the IBX. This requires code executing on the client.
As of now, the update is not available for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 UR2 users or for the Windows Media Format 9 series FSDK. What's interesting however is that it only took Microsoft a mere three days to issue the DRM fix. Clearly protecting media content is in Microsoft's best interests -- it's highly publicized Zune portable media player is coming.

HANOVERTON - Stumping not only for Mitt Romney but also for fellow Republican Josh Mandel, U.S. Sen. John Thune spoke to a roomful of local GOP supporters at the Spread Eagle Tavern Tuesday afternoon.
Thune, a senator from South Dakota, went over much of the conservative platform, calling November a "tipping point election."
While he admits President Barack Obama inherited a bad economy, Thune said the president's policies only have made things worse.

U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota speaks before GOP supporters at a luncheon Tuesday at the Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton.
Thune said it is time for people to decide how they want the country to be. He talked about the massive amounts of debt being piled on the children and grandchildren. Additionally, he cited statistics like the doubling of fuel prices during Obama's presidency, while the number of people on food stamps has nearly doubled.
"The only thing going down is the average income," Thune said, adding the figure is down $4,300.
Instead of continuing to build a bigger government to get the economy moving, Thune suggested voters should support Romney, who he said offers a different plan to grow the economy.
"If you have a growing economy, all these other things seem much smaller," Thune said.
He urged everyone in the room to get involved suggesting they could give money, work at a telephone call center, pound a sign into their yard or write a letter to the editor.
Thune also spoke in support of Mandel, a former Ohio state representative, is challenging Sen. Sherrod Brown for a place on the U.S. Senate.
"Give Mitt Romney a team he can work with," said Thune, who at one point during the speech expressed his frustration over so many good proposals coming from the House only to see them killed by the Democrats in the Senate.
Thune is the chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, serves on both the budget and finance committees and often is a guest on the Fox News Network.

I've logged on several times to see what's going
on in Tomahawk but the same stories from a week
ago are still there. There doesn't seem to be any
activity, including any responses to my query about whether or not fishing reports are likely to
continue. The fishing report that is there is dated November 5th. Anyone home in Tomahawk?

Blue Falcon: "The most important issue is, did I know anything about the plan to close those lanes? And the answer is still the same. Unequivocally no. I'll be damned if I let anything get in the way of me doing my job." -- Chris Christie, February 3, 2014 "I have had no contact with David Wildstein in a long time, a long time, well before the election [Nov. 5]. You know, I could probably count on one hand the number of conversations I've had with David since he worked at the Port Authority. I did not interact with David." -- Governor Chris Christie, January 14, 2014 "So what I can tell you is if people find that hard to believe, I don't know what else to say except to tell them that I had no knowledge of this -- of the planning, the execution or anything about it -- and that I first found out about it after it was over. And even then, what I was told was that it was a traffic study. And there was no evidence to the contrary until yesterday that was brought to my attention or anybody else's attention." - Gov. Chris Christie, Press Conference January 19, 2014

I am working on a post with all the great photos from BlogHer and it's just taking so long. I want to gush about the beautiful people I was finally able to hug and meet. There are over 8000 photos on Flickr plus Facebook, etc. I'll get there.
When you go away there is that much more catching up to do around the house. Today I washed dishes and peeled carrots while watching Mad Men. I scrubbed the bathtub until my arms hurt and it still doesn't look clean. I sorted laundry, did laundry, folded laundry, put away laundry. Stole a nap while nursing Ivy.
I've got all the windows open even though it's the end of July. It reminded me of fall when I stepped outside to put a letter in the mailbox. The kids will need school supplies. It will be a bit more quiet around here in a few weeks again. I admit, I'm looking forward to it.
Within the past week Ivy has begun saying uh oh, tickle tickle (with motions!), and baby, as well as some words she was already saying: Mama, Dada, nigh nigh and perfecting the daintiest of finger pointing while saying no no. Plus a whole other cute babbley language that sounds strikingly like itsyourbirthday over and over.
She is thisclose to taking her first steps. I looked at her today and saw a big girl. And it surprised me how so very right and okay this is.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Citing a common concern over location, recreation and park officials have decided to not allow a Nevada City-based nonprofit to use the Community Arts Center once a week to feed homeless and in-need individuals."I do not believe this facility and that particular use is correct," said Kristin York, chair of the Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District board of directors. "For one, the location - it's downtown, it's in a neighborhood, and the school. I think there is incompatibility with Boy Scouts, schools, children's arts programs and a babysitting class, and whatever other programming."The TDRPD board voted 5-0 at its meeting last Thursday to overturn its Dec. 13 approval for Divine Spark to use the art center's kitchen on Wednesdays for a six-month period for its meal program.The center at 10046 Church St. is home to Arts For the Schools, a nonprofit organization that seeks to address the decline in arts programming in schools, and Twin Ridges Home Study Charter School."It did raise some concern on parents' part of child safety and the interactions that could possibly happen utilizing the building," said Jessica Fowler, Twin Ridges Truckee site coordinator, at the meeting. "We are there Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Primarily, our children activities are Fridays, but I hold office hours Wednesdays, Thursdays in addition to Fridays, so there are parents and children coming and going from the building periodically."Truckee resident and meal service volunteer Nina Ski said she doesn't have a problem with the Community Arts Center being the home for Divine Spark's proposed meal program."I don't think the downtown location is a bad spot," she said. "We do Project MANA down there. ... I don't see it causing a problem there - I don't know why it would now."Currently, two meal services operate out of the Community Arts Center: Project MANA food distribution from 3 to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Stone Soup Community Soup Night from 5 to 7 p.m. on Sundays from Jan. 27 to March 24.At Thursday's meeting, Divine Spark founder and director Thomas Streicher said his organization has experience in working with the clientele meal service programs draw."Most of these people are low-poverty people, some are elderly, some are handicap, probably 40 percent of them are homeless," he said. "We consider ourselves professionals at working with this kind of population."
"My concerns are the ability to implement it and implement it well," said board vice chair Erin Casey. "That's important. ... And clearly from some of these other comments from Nevada City, the implementation piece is also problematic."TDRPD Recreation Superintendent Dan O'Gorman previously reached out to Nevada City officials, receiving comments from city Police Chief Jim Wickham, who said patrons came early, lingered around, left a mess and attracted homeless from outside the area. Similar feedback was received from Nevada County Health and Human Services Agency Director Jeffrey Brown and Nevada City Manager David Brennan.This week, Streicher accused Nevada City officials of making false statements in their testimonies, according to a story Tuesday in The Union, the Sun's sister paper in Nevada City. Yet, at last Thursday's meeting, he acknowledged that Divine Spark's programs aren't perfect."Our programs aren't 100 percent; there are some problems," Streicher said. "We have to look at those problems, but the main thing is we're here to serve your poor."Jack Ahern, coordinator of the Food and Resource Support Center in Truckee, which offers breakfast on Tuesdays and a hot lunch on Thursdays as well other basic needs, said he supports the idea of Divine Spark providing assistance in the area."There is a need for this," he said. "(Last Thursday) we had five guests come in for lunch. ... It's wintertime, and many of the people we serve in the summer have gone off because it's winter."But we do have people living in pretty miserable conditions who could use a hot meal and some TLC once or twice a week."York brought up the concern of attracting more homeless to an area that experiences temperatures in the negatives with no homeless shelter - and the issue of whether catering to the homeless fits the district's mission."The mission of this board is to enrich the lives of all of community by providing a wide variety of quality parks, facilities, programs and recreational opportunities," she said. "That's a very important thing to remember because this board tends to go beyond that mission, and we get in trouble. I am not in favor of doing that in this case." Director Kevin Murphy said he sees this as town issue."Let the town of Truckee really get their arms around this, put a program in place and then partner with the district for location," he said. "Because the one thing we don't want to do in my experience is create a problem and then deal with the backlash."

Why Sensitive Kids Can Turn out Better Than Their PeersHeather Turgeon
Have you ever wondered why some kids can weather tough, even traumatic home conditions and go on to become successful, well adjusted people, while others suffer so greatly in a negative environment?
It's a really important line of thinking in child development: we're realizing that kids who are biologically wired to be sensitive to their surroundings (these may be little ones whose nervous system seem quick to react, who may melt down a little more easily, need a bit more nurturing — you know the ones) can either struggle more than their even-keeled peers, or actually surpass them.
A forthcoming study in the journal Psychological Science gives us a piece of the puzzle here by identifying a gene that our delicate flowers may inherit and showing how it combines with home environment to affect a child's future:
The scientists tracked kids ages 5 to 17 who had inherited certain forms of a gene CHRM2 (The gene regulates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which boosts brain activity and is involved in learning and memory).
Those with the gene who were raised with "insensitive" parents had higher rates of delinquency and aggression than peers with similar environments but without the gene. But the ones who had "involved" parents (let's assume we're not talking your average attentive parent) were actually better adjusted than average.
Same gene + different environments = opposite effects.
It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, doesn't it? As humans we have to be flexible enough to adapt to whatever environment we're born into, and some kids have an extra-flexible genetic make up. In the right conditions, this go inordinately well for these little homo sapiens. When things are sub-par, they suffer even more than other kids with a more hearty temperament.
The research suggests about 20 percent of kids are little "orchids." Do you have one? Do you see that your child is more sensitive to the environment? Have you ever seen it as a benefit (if you haven't, consider the possibility!)

An Oklahoma City father was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of child and domestic abuse after his son was found with welts all over his body, police said.
Police got a call about a disturbance in southeast Oklahoma City. When officers arrived at the house, they found a 13-year-old boy standing outside in his underwear with welts on his shoulders, legs, arms, back and buttocks.
The boy also had blood splattered around his nose, police said.
According to police, the father said that he had started spanking the boy because he had used up all the minutes on a cell phone and that he had found pornography on it.
The boy was taken to Children's Hospital for treatment.
The father faces possible felony child abuse and domestic abuse charges.

I wish I knew where we had our pictures. We even had some from a lift bucket so you could see the whole street.

So here is the deal. My 5 month old lab loves bird feathers and wings. I am using a bird wing on a string to awaken his inner instincts every once in a while. I don't do it as much now because when he gets a hold of it, he chomps. When I say give, he gives but not like he does when he gives me the bumper. My dog doesnt clench his teeth on the wing but he really chomps on it. He does not do this with the bumper that has feathers taped to it or the deadfowl trainer that I use. I have talked to some buddies that have trained their labs and they said get rid of the feathers for a while. Will this continue? Should I be worried about him chomping on a wing and tearing a bird apart? Is there anything I can do or not do to help with this issue later on in his career?

Hi, if it was me, befor I started to fix something, I'd be sure it was real problem first. I'd get my hands on a live (or dead) duck or pigeon and see how he handles it. It it's rough then you have something to fix if not then he is just rough with feathers. If you have something to fix, then I'd go back to just bumpers and start force fetch (or revisit if already taught). If you have not FF yet and plan on doing it, that might clean things up. If your opposed to teaching force fetch then I'd at least teach the hold command. My expectation is that he holds with no mouth movement at all. Even a twitch gets a stern no with a rap under the chin. I'd then progress to birds setting the same standard. I'd be sitting on bucket and he has to hold until I gave the command to drop. No mouthing or rolling or teething it.
I'd first see if you had a problem with birds first. Good luck

I wouldn't worry too much at this point. They are still puppy after all, and they can get a bit mouthy. I agree with what was said earlier. My 2 year old won't chomp on a bumper, Dokken or dead bird, but if I strap some wings to a bumper, he becomes Jaws. Maybe it just feels good on his gumbs or teeth.

Thanks for the reply. I got a frozen pigeon out and he does mouth it quite a bit but he is learning to give more frequently. I have decided to wait until I force fetch him with a bumper. By the way, I have heard many different times to start force fetching. How old should the dog be when you begin to start force fetching him?

When to FF a dog is a dog by dog consideration. At a minimum, they should have all their adult teeth, but they also should have a solid obedience foundation. FF, if done correctly, will address rough handling of birds. In the meantime, I don't you think you have a real problem...just a puppy who enjoys birds. Congratulations!

Jamestown police have made two arrests in a group assault late Sunday night that left one man stabbed in the knee and struck with a bottle.
Police officers responding at about 11 p.m. to an assault near the Charlestown apartments, on Charles Street, learned that the victim was meeting some friends in the area when he was attacked by some individuals in the group. Besides being assaulted, the victim also was robbed of some money before his attackers fled the area, police said.
Based on descriptions of the assailants, police located and arrested Malek A. Morley and Kyle R. Senear, both 18, according to the police report. They both were charged with first-degree robbery, assault and conspiracy.
Police still are looking for other individuals involved in the attack.

The world as we know it today began in California in the late 1800s, and Eadweard Muybridge had a lot to do with it. This striking assertion is at the heart of Rebecca Solnit's new book, which weaves together biography, history, and fascinating insights into art and technology to create a boldly original portrait of America on the threshold of modernity. The story of Muybridge—who in 1872 succeeded in capturing high-speed motion photographically—becomes a lens for a larger story about the acceleration and industrialization of everyday life. Solnit shows how the peculiar freedoms and opportunities of post–Civil War California led directly to the two industries—Hollywood and Silicon Valley—that have most powerfully defined contemporary society.

For the second time this season, Stetson University senior forward Sasha Sims (Fayetteville, Ga.) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week, and freshman forward Amber Porter (Woodbridge, Va.) has been named the league's Newcomer of the Week, it was announced on Monday.
Sims and Porter helped lead Stetson (8-4) to a perfect 3-0 week and the Hatter Classic Championship. Sims was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player and Porter earned all-tournament team honors following the team's victories over Murray State and Nicholls State.
For the week, Sims averaged 20.0 points per game, shot 50% (22-44) from the floor and 53% (8-15) from behind the arc. On Tuesday, Sims scored a game-high 22 points, including a tie-breaking three-pointer with 4:43 to play, to help lift Stetson to a 83-81 victory over Charlotte. She hit another key jumper at the 2:35 mark and went 3-for-3 from three-point range for the game.
On Friday, Sims tied a career-high with 28 points and hit five three-pointers in the Hatters' 103-72 win over Murray State. She then registered 10 points, four rebounds, and four assists in Stetson's come-from-behind 74-65 win over Nicholls State on Saturday.
For the season, Sims leads the Atlantic Sun in scoring (18.6) and ranks third in three-point field goals made (24). She has scored in double figures in 19 straight games dating back to last season.
Porter, meanwhile, averaged 13.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, and 6.0 blocks per game in the two Hatter victories. She scored 14 points and grabbed a career-best 18 rebounds, 14 coming on the defensive glass, in Stetson's win over Murray State. On Saturday, she posted another double-double of 13 points and 15 rebounds, while adding seven blocked shots and five steals against Nicholls State.
For the week Porter shot 46% (11-24) from the floor and 75% (9-12) from the line. She has an NCAA-leading 47 blocks on the season, already the fourth highest single-season total in school history and tied for the 13th highest career total in school history, after just 12 career games.
Sims has been named the league's Player of the Week three times in her career, including twice this season. A Hatter has earned the A-Sun Player of the Week award eight times during the 2013 calendar year out of a possible 17 weeks.
Porter has been named the league's Newcomer of the Week twice in the last three weeks. Freshman Brianti Saunders has also been earned the honor twice, giving the Hatters four Newcomer of the Week Awards in seven weeks this season.
Stetson is on a torrid pace at home, having won seven straight (5-0 this season), 23 of 24 and 35 of 37 games at the Edmunds Center. The Hatters have also won 17 straight home games against non-conference opponents.
Following a two-week break, Stetson will visit Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 4 at 7 p.m.

Cubs Youngsters Meet Veteran MLB RHP Kip Wells at Diablo Park
Ryan Dalton smacked a two-out two-run double to cap a three-run 6th, and veteran RHP Kip Wells and three relievers combined to throw a two-hitter with 14 strikeouts, as the Angels topped the Cubs 4-1 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this afternoon at Diablo Park Field #7 in Tempe, AZ.
The Angels signed Wells last Friday, and this was his first game outing of any kind in 2013. He allowed one unearned run, a single and a walk, with four strikeouts, in his two innings of work
Two more prospects who recently arrived from the Cubs Dominican Academy made their U. S. debut today, as 17-year old switch-hitting SS Frandy de la Rosa (signed as a 16-year old last July 2nd for a $700K bonus) and 20-year old switch-hitting 2B Bryant Flete (296/419/419 for DSL Cubs #2 in 2012) saw action in the game. Flete will probably be the starting 2B for the AZL Cubs in 2013, and de la Rosa will likely spend Extended Spring Training battling Francisco Sanchez for the AZL Cubs starting SS job.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1a. Shawon Dunston Jr, CF: 1-3 (1B, F-9, 6-3, R, SB)

1. Dillon Maples: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 3 K, 37 pitches (22 strikes), 2/0 GO/FO

same...i just happen to not like sitting through shit sandwich meals for multiple years. baseball is kinda boring when you're punting on 1st down for a slew of years in a row.
i fully understand why it was done, but i didn't enjoy it. there was more than one way to get competitive and this was the chosen way.
fwiw, apparently McLeod signed extension as well after he didn't get Twins gig.
I am once again reminded why I am happy that Theo is running the organization.
if not they can just intentionally tank the team for 3-4 years and rebuild.
Hopefully after the Cubs complete their sevenpeat :)
They're the best in the business and have been for 12 years running now. The only question is when they'll get bored of it.
I was right here. I don't require my GM's to be perfect, but I would like them to understand what wins baseball games (IMO controlling the strike zone and creating/avoiding outs), and knowing where the organization is in the success cycle.
Theo and company have made and will make plenty of mistakes, but they seem to understand those two items pretty well.
Now we're all Theo-believers, where were you when he signed Edwin Jackson? Or how about trading away DJ Lemehaiu? And not signing Samardzija to an extension? Or not pursuing Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols? Or signing Lester? Or trading away Cashner, Dempster, Feldman, etc?...I think I'm losing the narrative here.
So his deal runs through 2021? Which pretty much coincides when all these guys are due to hit free agency.
Great news.
"Terms of the deal were not disclosed."

Not as a major factor, but could be a tie-breaker. But, yeah, on performance and experience, it's Coghlan.
Arrieta's 2.85 ERA would be good enough to lead 26 other teams. He's 3rd on #Cubs behind Hendricks (1.99) and Lester (2.28)

Together – again.
Only days after she was photographed kissing estranged husband Bruce Jenner on the cheek after a holiday weekend movie with her mom in Calabasas, Calif., Kris Jenner posted an Instagram photo of herself getting silly with close pal Ben Flajnik during dinner at Nobu in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Posing with pouting duck lips, Jenner, 58, was joined in the group photo by her girlfriend, entrepreneur Liz Heinlein. She captioned her shot of the threesome: "Date night with Ben and Liz."
But what's a night out without a little entertainment? After their meal, the trio caught up with Jenner's daughters Khloé Kardashian Odom and Kendall for Beyoncé's concert at the Staples center – the singer's latest stop for her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
Bachelor alum Flajnik, 31, denied last month that he and Jenner were having a fling after dating rumors arose when he was photographed driving her Bentley. He later said was it borrowed while she was of town. He was also seen on vacation with her in Mexico and at his winery in Sonoma, where they were joined by Kardashian family pal Jonathan Cheban.
"She's a beautiful, smart woman," Flajnik told PEOPLE of a rumored relationship, noting he was upset by all of the gossip.
"Kris is a very, very dear friend of mine," he said. "We are not dating, we're just working on a couple of projects together, so that's why we've been seen a lot as of late."

can anybody post a good book or website to learn how to calculate return duct sizing, and return grille sizing basically something that can brush me up and better on the airflow side.

Return air grille = 2 cfm per sq. inch. Example: 14"x6" = 168 cfm
One ton of A/C is 400 cfm............ 2 ton = 800 cfm. However, I size the cfm to the furnace/ air handler blower. Example: 3 ton blower requires (at least) 1,200 cfm.
I always go more cfm rather than being right on the money or, like many contractors, not having enough return.
If your cfm requirements are split (example) 50/50 then, with a 3 ton (1,200cfm) blower, you would need (at least) 600 cfm from one end and another 600 cfm from the other end.
Now, for duct sizing......... take your cfm requirement, multipy by .02 and add 2.
Example: 600 cfm x .02 = 12 + 2 = 14"x8" duct. Another example: 1,000 cfm duct requirement..........1,000 x .02 = 20 + 2 = 22"x8" duct.
There's your book.....free and simple. There is alittle more to it of course, but the above helps our techs determine quickly short falls in systems without enough RA.
I can look at a home (if the ductwork is easy to see) and let the customer know in 15 minutes if there is a problem with the ductwork and/or return grilles sizing.

Late Night Wars: Jay vs. ConanPosted Tuesday, January 19, 2010, at 11:18 PM
OK, here is a nice fluff topic!
What are your thoughts on the Jay vs. Conan drama? I can't help but think that Conan is really getting a bad deal here. To be honest, I've not been a big watcher of either show, but I tune in once in a while. But from what little that I've seen in the past few years, Jay hasn't been very funny. I still love Headlines and Jaywalking, but they tell their own jokes. Jay is getting a bit stale.
So, what do you think? Or, do you prefer David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, John Stewart, somebody else, or nothing?
Showing comments in chronological order
[Show most recent comments first]
How does Conan get repaid for his company loyalty? The biggest, most public act of Hollywood treachery in memory.
If it were really so simple as Jay Leno changing his mind, I can't see how Leno can still be lauded for being nothing more than a shill but Conan derided for a lack of loyalty to NBC. It's pretty clear now where Conan's loyalty has gotten him.
Don't let NBC and Leno rewrite history! Check out the following link to read of Leno's deceit:

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert crack me up, although I don't always agree with their politics. For late night, I love Conan (except for some of his stranger prop bits) although I've always enjoyed Jaywalking and Headlines. As you said, however, those jokes kind of write themselves. I really think Conan is better at a later timeslot, as it allows him to be a little more edgy with his material. That being said, I think NBC screwed him by retracting their deal and I think Jay is being coddled despite not garnering the ratings expected of him.

Nice link KipCricket. That quite possibly was the poorest written page of dribble I have ever had the opportunity to read. As far as those two go I like them both but neither one is hilarious.....Wish we still had Carson on the air. Now that man was funny!

I guess I feel like Conan is getting the bad end of the deal here, but I love what it has done for late night. Both of the shows are fun to watch right now as each of them makes fun of their current employer. I happened to catch the beginning of Conan last night, and the energy that was in that studio was pretty amazing. I feel the worst for Conan's staff. They all uprooted their lives to live in L.A. for the show, and now they are out of a job (but I think they all got a pretty good chunk of change for it).

Scratch them both and watch The Soup on E! and then Chelsea Lately!

Wait, the deal was rescinded? I guess I need to get caught up. I vote for Conan on Comedy Central. I'd say he's just as funny as Colbert and Stewart (whom I find hilarious on most topics) but he wouldn't do the news bit. His show would be different, edgy and entertaining. Maybe he could do what George Lopez did and join a network not known for late night comedy. There are a lot of options and I'm sure he'll land on his feet (with a winding-up jump and bounce of his fluffy red hair) no matter where he ends up. Go Conan. As for Jay Leno, I have a friend who keeps regular correspondence with him, but I haven't heard anything lately. Considering Carson didn't respect him and in turn wrote jokes for Letterman up until his death, it's hard for me to respect him either. Late night is changing even as it tries to stay the same. I think we can all agree on that. I can't believe I just wrote such a long post on such a trivial topic. Oh well, I've never been accused of being shy.

Scenario-Driven Development of Service-Oriented Systems
Ruokonen, Anna
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2012-12-14

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software architectural style, which relies on reusable and composable services. In addition to software-orientation, SOA includes a business viewpoint, so that business requirements can be captured as high level business processes. Business processes can be implemented, for example, as an orchestration of different service components. Individual services participate in the overall execution of business processes by providing elementary service activities. In addition to flexibility and services reuse, bridging of business and information technology (IT) views is one of the claimed benefits of SOA. Development of service-based systems includes a range of different activities. However, development of service-based systems is still lacking systematic and tool vendor independent practices and development methods. In this thesis, a development process for a service provider, called Service Product Development Process (SPDP), is presented. It consists of several development phases and related activities. The input for SPDP includes high level business process requirements. The result of the process is a new service-based product to be added to the service provider's product portfolio. The purpose of this thesis is to study the applicability and the benefits of applying a scenario-driven approach, a type of requirement-driven development, for the development of service-based systems. Scenarios are used to capture functional system requirements as simple message sequences given as UML sequence diagrams. The scenario-driven approach is applied to different phases of SPDP including business process development, service specification, and service realization. The proposed scenario-driven approach is not limited to the SPDP context. It is rather a general purpose framework for development of service-based systems or products, called SceDA. SceDA includes three independent scenario-based methods, which are targeted to support different development phases of service-based systems. One of the three methods is used for scenario-based business process development. The other two methods are targeted at service development, in particular, service specification and service realization. Service specification is supported by a method for automatically mining and re-documenting the development rules as scenarios. To support service realization, a method for generating source code for individual service and client applications has been developed. Each method includes a description of the developed tool support and a case study. Case studies are used for constructing and evaluating the three scenario-based methods developed. Each method is applied as a case study in the context of development phases of SPDP. In the first case study, scenario-driven business process development method is applied. Two other case studies concern constructing and using scenarios for application development. One case study utilizes the scenario mining method. In the other case study, the code generation method is applied.

TKZ takes UFC to task for rising sun tee
"The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung has inspired some unusual apparel, that has graced the likes of UFC president Dana White, among thousands of others.
However, this year TKZ is taking a far more serious approach to apparel.
Back in March "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung took UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre to task for wear the rising sun on his gi. via Facebook.
"Hi, My name is Chan Sung Jung from South Korea," wrote TKZ to GSP in a public letter. "As one of many Koreans who like you as an incredible athlete, I feel like I should tell you that many Korean fans, including myself, were shocked to see you in your gi designed after the Japanese 'Rising Sun Flag'. For Asians, this flag is a symbol of war crimes, much like the German Hakenkreuzflagge. Did you know that? I hope not."
"The Japanese Government never gave a sincere apology, and still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being compensated. But many westerners like to wear clothes designed after the symbol under which so many war crimes and so much tragedy happened, which is ridiculous."
"Since you're influenced by Japanese Martial Arts, your wearing a headband designed after Japanese flag is understandable. But again, that huge 'Rising Sun' on your Gi means something else."
"You have a great influence on every single fan of yours all around the world. And I do believe your wearing 'the symbol of War Crime' is a very bad example for them, not to mention for yourself."
Both GSP and the gi manufacturer Hayabusa have offered apologies.
Georges St-Pierre
Welterweight champion, UFC
"I'd like to personally apologize to anyone who was offended by this," St-Pierre wrote on Facebook. "I am very sorry, that was never my intention."
Craig Clement
President, Hayabusa Fightwear, went further, apologizing, and stating the gi would not be brought to market.
Since Georges St-Pierre wore our walkout gi at UFC 158 we have received attention surrounding the negative connotation of the rising sun graphic used. The last thing we want is to offend or alienate anyone with the choice of design on our products.
We at Hayabusa have the utmost respect for culture and history and appreciate all of our customers worldwide. As such, we accept full responsibility for this design and are taking all complaints and comments very seriously.
The gi worn by GSP will not be brought to market. In addition, we will be very conscious of this specific design element when developing future communication materials and products.
Please accept our sincerest apology for any offense this has caused.
Earlier in the season, UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey wore a rising Sun tee on the set of The Ultimate Fighter, and Jung sent another letter, this time addressed to UFC President Dana White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta.
Bleacher Report obtained a copy.
Hi, Korean Zombie here. I'm delivering this message on behalf of over 800,000 members of combative sport café, one of the biggest MMA blogs in Korea. We have decided to take the time to speak up for what we know is right, because we do believe this is something that UFC management should absolutely be aware of. Let's get straight to the point.
It's about 'Rising Sun Flag' outfits. And our point is that this design is the symbol of war crimes, and that every single item designed after this symbol of war crimes should be kicked out of the UFC, firstly for justice, and then for the company.
Let bygones be bygones? Get over it? Unjustified invasion, torture, massacre, military and sexual slavery, medical experiments on living prisoners of war and many other war crimes scarred too many people. It can never be forgotten. This is a tragic history for all of us. Furthermore, the Japanese government never gave a sincere apology, and is even trying to justify and distort their dirty, nasty history. Still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being properly compensated.
…I was happy because I thought we have succeeded in educating a chunk of the world on a very important issue, and that we no longer have to see that symbol of war crimes, at least around the Octagon. But a few days later, another UFC champion and the symbol of WMMA, Ronda Rousey was seen in that 'Rising Sun Flag' outfit. Two UFC champions wearing the symbol of war crimes! Don't you think this will be an awful example for our company, which actually does a lot of charity stuff for troops as well?
This sport, mixed martial arts, is growing very fast. And on the top of everything is the UFC. It's been crossing borders with great ease. The event was a great success in Europe, Australia and Brazil, and now it's time for Asia. As a fighter, I'm really excited and happy to see the sport growing, but I don't even want to imagine UFC fighters in those outfits, especially in Asia. A lot of furious, heartbroken people will boycott the UFC, leading to a loss of a lot of (potential) fans, which will end up leaving a very bad impression on the Asian market. I mean, can you imagine our fighters in Nazi outfits in Europe? For us Asians, it's nothing different.
There is no response yet from ZUFFA abotu TKZ's complaint about the symbol, which enjoys a very different connotation in the West than it does in Korea.

GENEVA (3 September 2013) – The United Nations Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia, Shamsul Bari, hailed the adoption of a Human Rights Road Map by the Somali Federal Government, which lays the foundation for improving the protection and promotion of human rights in Somalia. However, he urged the authorities to broaden the consultation process to include Regional Administrations and civil society organisations.
The Roadmap for the period 2013 to 2015 was formally endorsed on 27 August at a special session of the Cabinet of Ministers convened by Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon, who also announced the creation of a Ministry for Human Rights. During the session, 27 August was declared Somalia's National Human Rights Day.
"I welcome the endorsement of the post-transition Human Rights Roadmap as a very positive step for the advancement of human rights in Somalia," the Independent Expert said at the end of his 11th visit to the country, "but unless there is wide ownership by all concerned, implementation of the Roadmap will be very difficult."
The Independent Expert strongly advised the Federal Government of Somalia to consult with all the Regional Administrations and civil society organisations throughout Somalia in the finalisation of the Roadmap.
"The Human Rights Roadmap defines Government's responsibilities and sets goals to be achieved in a short period of time," Mr. Bari said, noting that the plan enumerates 17 rights each containing its own action plan to be implemented by key Ministries.
"The endorsement of a Human Rights Roadmap no doubt raises high expectation of Federal Government to ensure that perpetrators of human rights abuses are held accountable," Mr. Bari said. "I urge the Federal Government of Somalia to take utmost care in the investigation of alleged rape cases by uniformed personnel, as the world will be watching with a great deal of expectation."
During his four-day mission to Somalia, from 26 to 29 August, the human rights expert visited Mogadishu, where he met with the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers of the Federal Government of Somalia, and civil society, including members of the media. Mr. Bari also visited Garowe, Puntland, where he met with met with Ministers, NGO's representatives and journalists.
The Independent Expert will present his next report to the UN Human Rights Council on 24 September 2013, in Geneva. Mr. Bari will also take part in a high-level meeting to discuss how to guarantee maximum effectiveness of technical and other assistance to Somalia, as well as ensuring implementation of the Human Rights Roadmap at national and subnational levels in the country.
Dr. Shamsul Bari (Bangladesh) was appointed Independent Expert on the situation of human rights in Somalia by the United Nations Human Rights Council in May 2008. He is independent from any government or organization and serves in his individual capacity.

As Séance on a Wet Afternoon goes into production mode at New York City Opera, I thought I'd post some shots of our favorite diva – The incomparable Lauren Flanigan (Myra in the Séance world premiere in SB) paired with two of OSB's leading men, both past and present. First, with Ryan MacPherson in NYCO's production of Samuel Barber's Vanessa (Ryan sings Alfredo in our Traviata next month), and then with tenor Alan Glassman in the 2007 world premiere of Pasatieri's Frau Margot at Fort Worth Opera (Alan sang both Turridu and Canio in our 2008 Cav/Pag double bill).

Bill O'Brien has been given a new four-year amended contract by Penn State, and it's a sweetheart deal for the football coach that includes more money, more perks and a reduced buyout if he decides to leave for an NFL job.
O'Brien will receive close to a $1 million raise in base pay for 2013, bringing his total salary for the upcoming year to nearly $3.3 million. His overall annual salary still includes $1 million in pay from TV/radio, plus $350,000 from Nike.
O'Brien will be the third-highest paid coach in the Big Ten this season, behind only Ohio State's Urban Meyer ($4.3 million) and Iowa's Kirk Ferentz ($3.835 million).
His raises vary in the coming years and will total about $2 million more in base pay for the life of the contract.
The new contract also provides O'Brien more financial flexibility if he decides to leave Penn State for an NFL head coaching job.
His new buyout stipulates that he would only have to pay the school to cover his base salary for the remaining years left on the contract. Under his previous deal, O'Brien's buyout included base salary plus the $1.35 million per year owed to him from TV/radio and Nike.
The new four-year contract replaces O'Brien's previous one, which had eight years remaining on it. He signed a five-year deal with Penn State in January 2012, then had an additional four years added to it to cover the amount of years the Nittany Lions received in NCAA sanctions.
O'Brien led the Lions to an 8-4 season in 2012 despite incredibly difficult circumstances that included the school and program being hit with unprecedented sanctions in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. For his efforts, he was named national coach of the year by several outlets.
"In the face of great adversity, Bill did a tremendous job with all facets of the Penn State football program," PSU athletic director Dave Joyner said in a university statement. "This rightly recognizes Bill's outstanding achievements in guiding our student-athletes on and off the field."
O'Brien said in January that his desire to remain at Penn State despite the heavy sanctions is "not about money." He also said at that point he had never asked for a raise.
"Hey, look, six months down the road, if I get a raise - would you like a raise?" O'Brien said. "Everybody would like a raise every once in a while. Yeah, of course I'd like a raise. I'm just like everybody else. But I have never asked anybody for a raise."
It's not clear how the new contract came about. The Big Ten Network reported Thursday that O'Brien has a new agent, having parted ways with Joe Linta and now being represented by Neil Cornrich.
Here are the primary components of O'Brien's new contract:
n His base salary previously was $950,000 per year, plus a 5 percent annual raise. Now his base pay will be $1,932,779 for 2013 (running from July to July), then will drop to $1,137,096 in 2014 before going back up to $1,650,994 in 2015. His salary for 2016 and each year going forward would be a 5 percent annual raise from the 2015 figure.
n Including the TV/radio and Nike money, O'Brien's total salary will be: $3,282,779 in 2013; $2,487,096 in 2014; $3,000,994 in 2015; and $3,083,543 in 2016. That averages out to about $2.96 million per year.
n The contract expires on Jan. 6, 2017, or after PSU finishes playing in a bowl game that season. Beginning Jan. 6, 2016, the school will review his performance and can extend the contract from one to three years.
n The buyout component is where things get interesting.
O'Brien previously was making $2.3 million per year base pay and TV/radio plus Nike, and had he left PSU for any reason, he would have owed that amount multiplied by the number of years left on his contract.
There has been a discrepancy in various published reports about whether O'Brien's buyout would have encompassed just the remainder of his initial five-year deal, or if it covered the remainder of the full nine years (including the four-year addendum because of the sanctions). Linta told the Mirror in 2012 that the buyout would have been only for the initial five years on the deal.
Under his new contract, if O'Brien leaves Penn State for any reason other than an NFL head coaching job, his buyout would still include his base salary plus the TV/radio and Nike components, times the number of years left on the contract.
However, if he leaves for an NFL head coaching job, the buyout would only be his base salary times the number of contract years left. It would not include the $1.35 million per year from TV/radio and Nike, thereby saving him and/or any NFL team that wants to hire him a substantial amount of money.
That last part could make O'Brien even more appealing as an NFL coaching candidate if a franchise knows his buyout isn't an enormous figure.
The buyout figure would be based on his current salary in a given year.
If he were to leave Penn State immediately after the 2013 season, O'Brien's buyout would be his 2013 salary of about $1.9 million times the remaining 3 years left on the contract. If he leaves after the 2014 season, the buyout would be his 2014 salary of about $1.1 million times the remaining 2 years.
n O'Brien also is getting perks from the university in the contract, including: a van that will accommodate a special needs passenger for his son, Jack, and 35 hours of personal use per year on a university plane.
n There are financial incentives included that could pay O'Brien up to $200,000 per year if PSU's record is good enough to qualify for a bowl game, Big Ten title or other championships, regardless of whether it is eligible to actually play in those games because of NCAA sanctions.

"Decoration Day" is the real name for today – not Memorial Day. "Decoration," the act of placing medals, ribbons, flowers on graves, comes from the holiday's beginnings at the end of the Civil War, when almost everyone had lost someone they loved and some wanted the day to also celebrate the end of slavery, the cause for which so many had died. It was renamed Memorial Day in an effort to increase its mass appeal, the first step perhaps to now when we might as well call it Barbecue Day.
For a lot of my friends and colleagues, it still is Decoration Day: veterans whose Facebook profile photos are of their lost battle buddies, journalists making sure the newest war lost are properly accounted for, or those like WVFC's Lily Casura who work with veterans in distress. I met many of them while working on a book just now going to press, about soldiers and dissent from 1754 to 2011. This Decoration Day, I thought I'd mention a few of the women who knew and enacted the meaning of this day in their lives — some doing so right now, some from long ago. While most of us won't be at a military grave today, we can honor women who have never let themselves forget how that feels.
|Josephine Shaw Lowell was 19 years old in 1863 when she went into mourning, after the death of her brother Col. Charles Gould Shaw. Afterward Lowell volunteered in the camp hospital in Vienna, Va., where her husband, Col. Charley Lowell, was in charge of the defense of the capital. "I remember you as a young wife in Vienna," one of Charley's soldiers wrote years later, "[going] down to the tavern used as a hospital near the railroad track." She never went out of mourning — and 25 years later, became an anti-war activist when the U.S. invaded the Philippines in 1889. Above right, the memorial Lowell helped dedicate to her brother, the commander of the renowned Massachussetts 54th Infantry Volunteers.
|Major Alice Bradley Davey Sheldon, who like Myrtle Vacirca joined the Women's Army Corps during World War II — as a way of reinventing herself after a divorce. When it began, "more than 13,000 women applied for a few hundred position. Many of them were greeted at recruiting stations by crowds of jeering men and shouts of Are you one of them Wackies." After years in intelligence, she reinvented herself yet again — protesting the war in Vietnam and becoming an acclaimed writer whose stories included "The Women Men Don't See."
|Lt. Susan Schnall, now a public health administrator, was in 1967 a Navy nurse at Oak Knoll hospital in Oakland, Calif., which kept receiving mass casualties from the war in Vietnam. She talked to me last year about how over time, she grew angry at being ordered to patch soldiers up only so they could go back to the fight. And in October 1968, Schnall and some like-minded co-workers rented a plane and dropped anti-war leaflets on military bases up and down the coast. After her court-martial, Schnall became involved in the fight to get redress for victims of Agent Orange, in Vietnam and veterans' hospitals.
|Capt. Anuradha Baghwati, the second woman to complete the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program instructor trainer school, is the co-founder and executive director of Service Women's Action Network. She co-founded SWAN in response to the rampant discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault experienced by women in the military, and the lack of respect and resources given to women veterans after service. Her leadership has inspired a national movement to end military rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and domestic violence, and to eliminate all barriers to equal opportunity for servicewomen.
|The president of Harvard University, Drew Gilpin Faust, below, is actually the first I thought of when I started thinking about this day. In her book The Republic of Suffering, she documents the years in which Decoration Day became Memorial Day, after 20 years the nation had spent burying its dead. Below, she talks about the book and how memory shapes our lives.

I have a 10 month old GSP who I hope/plan on making my upland and waterfowl dog next season. I started working with him around 4 months and trained him for two or so months. Unfortunately I became swamped with work and projects. Before I stopped training him I had him "Woah" trained on and off the table, force fetch trained with dummies and was starting retro-train to whistle commands. He seems to have digressed in obedience since I stopped training him, and I plan on continuing my training this month.
I was wondering if it was too late to continue training; I understand I may have to start from the beginning and build back up the confidence and attention. My main concern is if the bad habits he currently has, can they be broken without using an E-Collar or negative response training?

you won't know until you try. that's obvious but what else is there? my guess is, he'll get back into it in short order.
good luck

I have a one year old GSP, who I trained for upland birds and waterfowl. I taught her the basics, sit, stay, and come, threw some bumpers wrapped in feathers her way, and shot around her. She's been doing good this season, thus far. She isn't consistent with holding points, fetching, or even staying on a track, but none the less she is hunting and getting my birds in the freezer.
GSP's are natural hunters with great drive. So as long as your dog listens I say hit the woods and hunt!

Def not to late! I'm no expert but I have a gsp and had the same thing happen. I was training him young introduced him to birds and simple commands an just got swamped at work. I finally got back to him around 9 months and he's about 11 months now and he is just doing awesome! All I did was just as I would of done as if he was 4 or 5 months old.

quote: It's already illegal to drive with blood alcohol over .08%, but I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of fatalities are caused by people whose blood alcohol is far higher than that.
quote: The laboratory and driving simulator research described above provides insights into alcohol 's effects on general performance; however, with respect to safety, studies that consider the relationship between BAC and crash risk can provide useful information to guide policy. One of the earliest and best known studies of the effects of BAC on crash risk was the Borkenstein Grand Rapids study, a case - control study conducted in the early 1960s (Borkenstein and others 1964). The Borkenstein study showed an increased risk of crashes beginning at a BAC of 0.04. At a BAC of 0.08, risk was nearly doubled, and at 0.10, it had increased six fold. The Borkenstein study also found a "dip" in risk at very low BAC levels; 23 however, subsequent replications have indicated that the dip was a statistical anomaly (Hurst , Harte, and Frith 1994, 647 – 54) and that risk increases continuously beginning at a BAC of 0.01. More recent studies have shown that risk is significantly higher when a driver's BAC is = 0.05, and that crash risk climbs rapidly at BAC levels that exceed 0.08. One study found that the risk of fatal crash involvement at BACs between 0.05 0 and 0.079 ranged from about 3 to 17 times greater, depending on the age of the driver and the type of fatal crash (single - vehicle versus all crashes) ( Zador , Krawchuk, and Voas 2000, 387 – 95 ). Another study found that at a BAC of 0.05, drivers are 1.38 times more likely to be in a crash than are sober drivers. At a BAC of 0.08, crash risk is 2.69 times higher ( Compton and others 2002; Blomberg and others 2005). These elevated risks grow even higher as BACs increase, with the risk of being in a crash rising to nearly 5 times higher by a BAC of 0.10. Figure 4 depicts relative crash risk by BAC level from this study.

Queen Elizabeth set the tone for the London Summer Olympics when she appeared to jump out of a helicopter during the Games' Opening Ceremony.
With everyone – including her seamstress – kept in the dark about her two identical gowns – one for the Queen and one for her brave stunt double – the story behind the Queen's outfit for that unforgettable moment is finally being revealed.
In the book Dressing The Queen: The Jubilee Wardrobe, which designer Angela Kelly – personal assistant, adviser and curator to Queen Elizabeth II – has penned to mark the Queen's dresses in her 60th year on the throne, readers get a glimpse of what it's like to dress the royal.
Kelly, who has been the mainstay of the Queen's clothing for nearly two decades, worked closely with the director of the Olympics Opening Ceremony, Danny Boyle, and was one of the few people who knew of the filmed skit with James Bond star Daniel Craig.
"The Buckingham Palace dressmakers worked quietly for months, never having both dresses out of storage at the same time," she writes. "Even they didn't know why two dresses were required for the same event."
The peach-colored crystal and lace gown was designed with a pleated skirt so that it would stand out both as the Queen left the palace as well as on the stunt double who jumped from the helicopter, Kelly says.
Taking readers through the lengthy design process for each outfit, Kelly says the Queen's dressers spent two years planning for the main celebrations of the Jubilee.
A photograph in the book shows a dozen umbrellas with different colored handles so they can match the Queen's various ensembles. Fun fact: the umbrellas are always transparent so well wishers can see the Queen as she walks – something she did a lot of in this Diamond Jubilee year.

A contest in which two or more people try to solve the same problem or achieve the same goal with what they have readily available to them. Also known as a MacGyver Face-Off.
Jon and I both tried to find our own ways to fix his broken engine without an Auto-Repair shop in sight, but his Paper Clip/Rubber Band combo won our MacGyve-Off.

Time for little tour? Lovely little trailers. The weakness in these are the hitches -- notorious for breaking. One of the cars appears to have had a roll over. The interiors are immaculate! (or so I have been told -- I can never seem to get the door open to verify)
