1. Field of the Invention
This invention generally relates to page display software languages for programmers on the World Wide Web ("WWW"). More specifically, this invention relates to providing uniform content information from a central location to display pages.
2. Description of the Related Art
A significant development in computer networking is the Internet, which is a sophisticated worldwide network of computer systems. A user at an individual PC (i.e., workstation) that wishes to access the Internet typically does so using a software application known as a web browser. A web browser uses a standardized interface protocol, such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), to make a connection via the Internet to other computers known as web servers, and to receive information from the web servers that is displayed on the user's display. Information displayed to the user is typically organized into pages that are constructed using a specialized language such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Wireless Markup Language (WML), hereinafter (markup languages). Markup languages are typically based on the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that was created with the original purpose of having one standard language that could be used to share documents among all computers, regardless of hardware and operating system configurations. To this end, markup language files use a standard set of code tags embedded in their text that describes the elements of a document. The web browser interprets the code tags so that each computer having its own unique hardware and software capabilities is able to display the document while preserving the original format of the document. Each document typically resides in a separate file on the server.
For companies doing world-wide business over the Internet, web pages are translated into the appropriate language and stored as hard-coded HTML and/or active server pages (ASP). Further, business units in different countries or regions often target specific products and/or services for that particular area, requiring customized information on the web pages. Updating the pages may quickly entail an overwhelming amount of overhead for the business organization. Additional overhead is incurred with the proliferation of specialized mark-up languages having unique syntax for different types of computer systems, such as WML for portable, wireless, telephones and personal communication systems. In many instances, the format or style of the page may be common across servers, especially when a company strives for a unified appearance across their pages, but data on the page may be unique to a specific server.
There are a number of different web browsers available, each supporting their own extensions to markup languages such as HTML. Thus, a document written for one browser may not be interpreted as intended on another browser if it does not support the same extensions. In many situations, software developers are forced to create unique documents for each browser, or to include logic in the markup language that bypasses or executes certain portions of code, depending on which browsers are being supported. This adds another layer of complexity to developing and updating these documents.
XML was designed to meet the requirements of large-scale web content providers for industry-specific markup (i.e., encoded descriptions of a document's storage layout and logical structure), vendor-neutral data exchange, media-independent publishing, one-on-one marketing, workflow management in collaborative authoring environments, and the processing of web documents by intelligent clients. XML is also used in certain metadata applications. XML supports European, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian languages, and all conforming processors support the Unicode character set encodings.
It is therefore desirable to provide a mechanism for using XML that allows customized web pages to share format and other content/behavior information while providing capability to store data in structured, but flexible collections associated with owners. It is also desirable for the markup language to allow users to recombine and re-use data on many different pages, and to draw on different sources for data. An inheritance mechanism to allow the grouping of pages into classes, and to allow sub-classes of pages to be derived is also desired. It is also desirable for such a system to support standards provided in XML.
In the prior art, there is a variety of systems that provides limited content management capability. Some commercially available content management systems such as VIGNETTE and STORYSERVER, both manufactured by the Vignette Corporation of Austin, Tex., and INSO DYNABASE, acquired by Red Bridge Interactive, Inc. of Providence, R.I., typically use templates or page components that are dynamically populated from system query language (SQL) databases and recombined into pages using pre-defined templates. These systems generally fit well with highly structured sites having many identically formatted pages, such as a news site, however, the template structures are generally fixed and not flexible. Further, in these systems, the data storage paradigm is based upon filling named slots in the templates, which does not lend itself to a flexible data format that prioritizes the expression of data and its relationships. The template model for such systems is typically based on either Java, or a scripting language such as VBScript or Tcl/Tk, and limited support is typically provided for XML as a data type.
Another variety of systems that provides limited content management capability are internet application servers such as COLDFUSION, manufactured by Macromedia, Inc. of San Francisco, Calif. These application servers are primarily designed to support development of interactive applications. Most of the site template structures are hard-coded as server scripts, often using a mixture of standard HTML tags and proprietary tags that are pre-processed on the server. Each script is independent of the others; there is no inheritance mechanism. Even though the scripts are based on tags, the scripts are not well-formed XML, but rather customized HTML, and the separation of form and data is limited. Further, use of XML in these systems is limited to complete source data files.
Web-enabled object/XML databases such as OBJECTSTORE/EXCELON, manufactured by the Progress Software Corporation of Bedford, Mass., POET, manufactured by Poet Software GmbH of Hamburg, Germany, etc., provide a platform for high-performance application development around a flexible repository, but provide limited development tools. The data modeling capabilities are flexible and well-suited to free-form web content, however, and there is no high-level scripting language to provide a framework for managing content.
Traditional non-web content management systems such as INTERLEAF, manufactured by Broadvision, Inc. of Redwood City, Calif., ARBORTEXT, manufactured by ArborText, Inc. of Ann Arbor, Mich., and TEXCEL INFORMATION MANAGER, by Interleaf, are designed for generic, media-neutral content management, and are frequently SGML-based, therefore leading to a natural evolution towards XML. These systems are typically deployed for maintaining major documentation projects. The output of these systems is normally customized for a particular customer, and may be delivered online, on compact disc, or in print. These systems are designed to assemble explicit documents, however, and do not include capabilities for providing data-driven, script-aided document delivery.
One other system for populating pages includes using ASP and SQL with content selection rules supported by personalization/recommendation software components. This is a relatively simple approach to content management, however, most of the site template structures are hard-coded in HTML, and thus there is no inheritance mechanism. Additionally, most of the data is embedded in the pages, and pages are personalized by populating pre-defined slots with targeted data. Mass customization is possible, but there is little flexibility.
A method and computer program product is provided for generating XML documents using a script language that extends the capabilities of XML. The script language includes control statements for including data content and style information from a plurality of sources. One or more scripts may be developed that includes script language control statements. A script processor processes the scripts and generates a content document and a style document. The content document specifies the content to be included in the XML document, and the style document specifies the style for displaying the content in the XML document. One set of program instructions transforms the content document and the style document into an XML document. Another set of program instructions converts the XML document to an output document for a selected type of display. The script language and script processor provide facilities for gathering content and style information from a plurality of sources. Numerous scripts may be generated to override and/or extend information in one or more of the other scripts, thereby allowing a developer to customize selected portions of the output document while using shared content and style for the remaining portions of the output document.
The present invention may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features, and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings. The use of the same reference symbols in different drawings indicates similar or identical items.
While the Internet is used herein as an example of how the present invention is utilized, it is important to recognize that the present invention is also applicable to other information networks that utilize documents with content represented in a markup language. For those who are not familiar with XML, the Internet, the World-Wide Web, web servers, and web browsers, a brief overview of these concepts is presented here.
An example of a typical Internet connection found in the prior art is shown in
The web servers 118, 120, 122, 124 execute a web server application program which monitors requests, services requests for the information on that particular web server, and transmits the information to the user's workstation 112. Workstation 112 and/or web servers 116 are computer systems, such as computer system 130 as shown in
The peripheral devices usually communicate with processor 132 over one or more buses 134, 156, 158, with the buses communicating with each other through the use of one or more bridges 160, 162. Computer system 130 may be one of many workstations or servers connected to a network such as a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or a global information network such as the Internet through network interface 140.
CPU 132 can be constructed from one or more microprocessors and/or integrated circuits. Main memory 136 stores programs and data that CPU 132 may access. When computer system 130 starts up, an operating system program is loaded into main memory 136. The operating system manages the resources of computer system 130, such as CPU 132, audio controller 142, storage device controller 138, network interface 140, I/O controllers 146, and host bus 134. The operating system reads one or more configuration files to determine the hardware and software resources connected to computer system 130.
Storage device controller 138 allows computer system 130 to retrieve and store data from mass storage devices such as magnetic disks (hard disks, diskettes), and optical disks (DVD and CD-ROM).
One skilled in the art will recognize that the foregoing components and devices are used as examples for sake of conceptual clarity and that various configuration modifications are common. For example, audio controller 142 is connected to PCI bus 156 in
A web page is primarily visual data that is intended to be displayed on the display monitor of the user's workstation 112. When web server 118 receives a web page request, it will transmit a document, generally written in a markup language such as HTML or XML, across communication link 116 to the requesting web browser 114. Web browser 114 interprets the markup language and outputs the web page to the monitor of user workstation 112. This web page displayed on the user's display may contain text, graphics, and links (which are addresses of other web pages.) These other web pages (i.e., those represented by links) may be on the same or on different web servers 116. The user can go to these other web pages by clicking on the links using a mouse or other pointing device. This entire system of web pages with links to other web pages on other servers across the world comprises the world wide web.
Style sheet mechanisms available in markup languages enable style elements to be consistent across web pages that are related to one another (e.g., web pages belonging to a web site of a particular corporation). For example, HTML uses cascading style sheets (CSS), SGML uses document style semantics and specification language (DSSSL), and XML uses extensible style language (XSL). XSL is a language for expressing style sheets in XML, i.e., to express how the structured content of an XML file should be styled, laid out, and paginated onto some presentation medium such as a window in a web browser or a set of physical pages in a book, report, pamphlet, or memo. XSL was developed because XML offers greater data display possibilities than HTML. XML lets authors mark up data with author-defined elements (opening and closing pairs of tags) that specify the nature of the data. This allows the developer to clearly organize customized data structures. The data elements can be displayed with consistent formatting in different places on one document or across a series of documents. XML inserts the datum in the appropriate location, and XSL allows for more complex formatting than style sheet mechanisms associated with other markup languages.
XML enables users to create unique tags that identify their information in more meaningful ways than simply applying a basic set of markup language tags to all documents. To accomplish this, XML provides a namespace feature, which allows the user to specify addresses to provide a unique context to tags and attributes.
An XSL style sheet processor accepts a document or data in XML and an XSL style sheet, and produces the presentation of that XML source content as specified by the style sheet. The presentation process includes transforming a source tree into a result tree (also known as tree transformation), and interpreting the result tree to produce a formatted presentation on a display or other media. By separating the style sheet and the data, style or formatting aspects may be modified without modifying data that is being rendered, and vice versa.
XSL transformation (XSLT) is a language for tree transformation which associates patterns with templates. A pattern is matched against elements in the source tree. A template is instantiated for a particular source element to create part of the result tree. When a template is instantiated, each instruction is executed and replaced by the result tree fragment that it creates. In constructing the result tree, elements from the source tree can be filtered and reordered, and arbitrary structure can be added. XSLT uses XML namespaces to distinguish elements that are instructions to the XSLT processor from elements that specify literal result tree structure.
A schema specifies the structure of an XML document and constraints on its content. XML defines rules for defining markup languages having tags, while a schema is a formal specification of the grammar for one markup language. A schema is useful for validating the document content and for describing the grammar of the language. The schema defines the elements that can appear within the document and the attributes that can be associated with an element. XML schemas are extensible and software developers are free to add their own elements and attributes to XML schema documents. It defines whether an element is empty or can include text. The schema can also define default values for attributes.
XML includes a feature known as the Document Object Model (DOM) which is an application programming interface (API) for HTML and XML documents. The DOM defines the logical structure of documents and the way a document is accessed and manipulated. In the DOM, programmers can build documents, navigate their structure, and add, modify, or delete elements and content. Many objects found in an HTML or XML document can be accessed, changed, deleted, or added using the DOM. Documents are modeled using objects, and the model encompasses not only the structure of a document, but also the behavior of a document and the objects of which it is composed. As an object model, the DOM identifies the interfaces and objects used to represent and manipulate a document, the semantics of these interfaces and objects including both behavior and attributes, and the relationships and collaborations among these interfaces and objects.
An example of XSP script 300 in accordance with the present invention is shown in
XSP scripts, such as XSP script 300, are used to generate classes of web pages. In one embodiment, XSP script 300 is initiated in XSP processor 202 by a user or another program requesting the URL of the script, such as the URL http://server/xsp/inventors.xsp l=en target=ie5, where, in this example, the source for the script is stored in a file named inventors.xsp in the xsp directory on computer system server. The request also includes parameters that provide information pertaining to, among other things, the XML and XSL documents that will be generated during data gathering process 204 and style sheet builder process 206 shown in
Another alternative for initiating the XSP script 300 in XSP processor 202 is by using a common object module (COM) interface to XSP processor 202, as known in the art.
An XSP script is a document written in XSP and XML that specifies one or more XML documents as input to XSP processor 202. The output of server pages processing apparatus 200 is an XML object that may be a well-formed markup language document that is ready to be input to a browser, or it may be expressed in another format that is ready for use in a data-interchange process with another system, or for formatting and delivery to an HTML or non-HTML client.
XSP script 300 is interpreted by XSP processor 202 as a set of subroutines that create XML structures in a result tree. The XML structures may be created by querying and transforming one or more XML data sources, or by direct inline coding of desired output as a template.
In one embodiment of XSP, all core functionality to support the structure of the result tree, whether it is an XML electronic data interchange (EDI) message, or a markup language document derived from an XML document, is implemented in low level "base" scripts. "User" scripts provide extensions and/or overwrite low level base scripts. The XML data sets referenced in user scripts determine the final result tree. This feature is known as the inheritance mechanism and it results in a very small number of compact scripts being able to support very large web sites and a wide variety of actual document formats. Inheritance is an object oriented design feature which lets the user define some shared functionality, then override it in specific cases. Thus, a page may be divided into separate building blocks, with each block being generated by different XSP scripts. When a change is required in one block, only the affected scripts must be changed and the other blocks remain the same.
The inheritance mechanism also allows configuration control of page formats. For example, developers in different regions may be given access to blocks containing information that is unique to their region, such as information presented in a particular language, or different products that may be available in one region but not others. This allows software developers to change the information that is unique to them, while still maintaining commonality with scripts which generate the blocks that are common with other regions.
In accordance with the present invention, XSP scripts may also include capabilities for creating and accessing named and scoped variables, exercising flow control, instantiating and accessing COM objects, and creating XML data islands with script scope on a web server.
XSP scripts share control structure syntax with XSL, but place the XSP control structure syntax in a different XML namespace to clarify whether XSP processor 202 executes the control structure, or whether the control structure is handled in another tier of server pages processing apparatus 200. In the example of XSP script 300 in
Note that in this embodiment, open carets "<", open carets with a slash "</", and close carets ">" are used to denote control statements. The XSP scripting language of the present invention includes several different XSP control statements that are denoted by tags that are defined using the schema feature of XML. The XSP control statement tags are recognized by XSP processor 202. For example, XSP script 300 begins with "<xsp:script>" in line 302 and ends with "</xsp:script>" in line 398 to denote the start and end of the script. In one embodiment, the syntax for the <xsp:script > control statement is:
<xsp:script [ base="base-script" ] [ scope="default-scope" ]> script-statements </xsp:script>
base-script is the name of the script from which this one inherits;
script-statements is the value to be assigned to the variable or property; and
default-scope is the value to be assigned to the variable or property.
Every XSP script has <xsp:script> as its root element. XSP scripts can optionally have a base script defined. The base script is used to define which script this one inherits from. Scope can normally be ignored. Setting it to protected will mean that <xsp:call> will only see subroutines within this script if the call is being made from the same script, or one derived from it. If a call is made to a script without a specific subroutine being specified, a <xsp:sub> called main is searched for, first in this script, then in its base if any.
An example of an implementation of control statement <xsp:script> is shown in line 302 in user XSP script 300, which instantiates a base script using base="inventor-base.xsp", where inventor-base.xsp is the name of the base script. The content implemented when the base script is instantiated at the beginning of execution of XSP script 300 is over-ridden and/or extended by subroutine "contents" shown in lines 304 through 306 in "user" XSP script 300.
An example of base script inventor-base.xsp, instantiated in example XSP script 300, is shown in
Another example of an XSP control statement <xsp:sub> for declaring the start of a new subroutine is shown in line 304 in
<xsp:sub name="subroutine-name" [scope="scope-type"]> </xsp:sub>
<xsp:sub> is used to define a subroutine within a script and is analogous to sub in Visual Basic and VBScript or function in JavaScript. Scope can normally be ignored. Setting it to "protected" will mean that <xsp:call> will only see subroutines within this script if the call is being made from the same script, or one derived from it. If scope is not defined, the default scope defined in the <xsp:script> is used (if defined).
Line 308 in XSP script 300 includes XSP control statement <xsp:query> to execute an XQL query, such as querying data island xsp.xml shown in
In example XSP script 300 in
In one embodiment, the syntax for the <xsp:query> statement is:
<xsp:query src="source" [ query="xql-query" ] [ transform= "transform-doc" ] [ hasstrings="string-bool" ] [ hasfilter="filter-bool" ]> [ transform-statements ] </xsp:query>
XSP script 300 may also access routines directly from another script, using the other script as a subroutine library.
Another XSP control statement, <xsp:xml>, is used to define a data island. An example of this statement is shown in line 306 in
<xsp:xml name="name" [src="source"] [scope="scope-type"]> <[ xml-data ]> </xsp:xml>
The <xsp:xml> statement provides a way to hold on to a piece of XML data so that it can be subsequently processed and queried using <xsp:query>. This feature is particularly useful where the same document needs to be queried a number of times, as it means the document will only be loaded once. It is also useful where the document to be queried does not exist on disk—it may have been directly created inline using normal XML tags, or returned from another query (using <xsp:query> or from xsp:xdb. An example of an XML script source file for xsp.xml data island 500 is shown in
Many other types of XSP control statements may be implemented in the present invention. For example, an <xsp:assign> statement is used to assign a variable, or modify properties of an object. An <xsp:assign> statement may also be used for dynamic naming, where the name of the variable being assigned can be based on a variable name. This can be used to implement features such as arrays, for example, <xsp:assign name="column$(col)"value="This is column $(col)"/>.
Another XSP control statement implemented in the present invention is the <xsp:call> statement which is used to make a call into another subroutine, as shown for example, in lines 406 and 428 in
<xsp:call href="subroutine" />
where subroutine is the reference to the subroutine to be called.
The subroutine parameter is in the general form [filename][#sub-name][?parameters]. If the filename is not specified, the current script and then its base scripts are searched for the subroutine. If the sub-name is not specified, the entry point subroutine called "main" is called. Parameters can be passed. In one embodiment, if a function is called in the base script, the filename should be set to "..". This is particularly useful where the user has overridden an <xsp:sub> to extend the basic functionality, then wishes to call up to the default implementation.
Another XSP control statement implemented in the present invention is the <xsp:choose> statement which is used to choose between a number of actions based on whether or not one of the supplied conditions are true. In one embodiment, the syntax is:
<xsp:choose> <xsp:when test="condition"> conditional-statements </xsp:when> : <xsp:otherwise> conditional-statements </xsp:otherwise> </xsp:choose>
condition is the condition to be evaluated.
conditional-statements is the statements to be performed if the enclosing condition is true.
Other XSP control statements implemented in the present invention include the <xsp:comment> statement for placing comments in the output meta-document; the <xsp:copystring> statement for copying a formatted string from a stringtable; the <xsp:for> statement for enumerating the values in a collection; the <xsp:if> statement for performing an action if a given condition is met; the <xsp:request> statement for making a parameterised HTTP request for XML data; and the <xsp:xdb> statement for enumerating all or part of an XDB database. The XDB database facility includes an image, a link, and a definition database. While performing the enumeration, whenever a link, image, definition or variant node is found, the node's data block is expanded. The <xsp:xdb> control statement is further explained in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/399,506, entitled "Database Facility for XML Server Pages Language", which was filed on Sep. 20, 1999, and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Referring back to
<doc:root> <doc:collapsing list> <doc:list item 1> :<doc:title>title 1/> xml_resources :<doc:description> </doc:list item 1> </doc:collapsing list </doc:root>
may be used in the meta-document to represent the text and graphics for a collapsible list, instead of the actual code statements required in a typical mark-up language document for generating the text and graphics. Data gathering process 204 is capable of retrieving information from a variety of sources and allows developers in a particular region to specify the most relevant information to display on a given page. Developers may even provide some of the content that is unique to their area by utilizing user scripts, where allowed, while maintaining common content and format among all users using base scripts for the other portions of the page.
XSP processor 202 also generates a second document which includes a style sheet script for the page. Style sheet builder process 206 receives the style sheet script from XSP processor 202 and retrieves all of the documents specified in the style sheet script for formatting the content in the meta-document. The output of style sheet builder process 206 is an XSL document containing rules to format the meta-document.
The XSL document and the XML meta-document are input to XSL transform 208 which searches the hierarchy of modules specified in both the meta-document and the style sheet and uses the inheritance mechanism to determine which modules to utilize. A template is instantiated for the source elements specified in the module to create the result tree. When a template is instantiated, each instruction is executed and replaced by the result tree fragment that it creates.
The result tree fragments generated in XSL transform 208 are output to an XML document and sent to post renderer 210. Post renderer 210 converts the XML document to the document format required by the device or application software that will be used to display output document 212. Such document format may be one or more of many different formats including HTML, word processor formats, and WML, based on the target specified when XSP script 300 is initiated in XSP processor 202.
The process of generating an output document for a target device using XSP scripts is summarized in the flowchart in
To generate a display document from the scripts, the XSP processor is invoked with the top level script as input in process 606. The XSP processor separates the content specifications from the style specifications in process 608. Process 610 uses the content specification to gather modules for generating the content for various portions in a meta-document. Similarly, process 612 uses the style specification to gather modules for generating the format for various portions of the output document, and generates a corresponding XSL style sheet. The style sheet and meta-document are transformed to an XML document in process 614 and the XML document is converted in process 616 from XML to the appropriate target format, whether it is HTML, WML, word processor format, or another document format.
While the present invention is described in the context of a fully functional computer system, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that the present invention applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media used to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of signal bearing media include: recordable type media such as floppy disks and CD-ROM, transmission type media such as digital and analog communications links, as well as other media storage and distribution systems.
The present invention thus provides a control language that may be included in scripts with XSL and XML statements. XSP script processor 202 associated with the present invention interprets the control language and performs substitutions for and additions to content and style information in the script. The present invention thus complies with XML vocabulary and utilizes standardized XML technology by supplementing and coordinating XSL and XML schema and namespace capabilities.
The present invention advantageously allows web page developers and other content providers to switch from editing numerous markup language files to implement a change to creating data forms using scripts that retrieve data and style information from common sources where possible. The present invention provides facilities for coordinating content and style development, and relieves developers from having to manually edit numerous files when a change is desired in either format or content, since the change may be made in a central databases that are referenced by XSP script 300 or base script 400 and retrieved by data gathering process 204 and style sheet builder process 206. Developers responsible for providing content and styles that are unique to their individual environments may be given access to combine their own unique information and format where desired, and use shared information otherwise. Further, even when unique information is required, the present invention provides facilities (i.e., user scripts) that allow the information to be located in one location and used by all developers requiring access to it. The sharing of content and style information also facilitates presentation of up-to-date information in consistent formats.
While the invention has been described with respect to the embodiments and variations set forth above, these embodiments and variations are illustrative and the invention is not to be considered limited in scope to these embodiments and variations. For example, additional XSP control statements may be implement in addition to or instead of those described herein. Further, the XSP control statements described herein may have different names and/or syntax. Accordingly, various other embodiments and modifications and improvements not described herein may be within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined by the following claims.

Love brings hope to Next Act Theatre's 'Grace'
When the lights come up on Craig Wright's "Grace" - now at Next Act Theatre, under David Cecsarini's direction - a man is holding a gun to his head, having just murdered the woman and man sprawled nearby. We can guess what happened with this love triangle. But how? And why?
With the whodunit out of the way, "Grace" tries to answer those questions by taking us back three months and starting over. During the ensuing two hours, we'll move forward in time toward that climactic scene with which the play began. »Read Full Article

Skip to comments.Odd question for gardeners
Posted on 05/19/2012 4:44:53 PM PDT by djf
Now I have lived in the same house for 20 tears. And years ago, right after we first moved in, my wife had planted these tea rose thingies.
That's ok. They can be a bit of a mess to take care of, but this year something happened for the very first time.
Rather it DIDN'T happen and it might be a mixed blessing, but wanted to ask fellow FReeper gardeners if they noticed the same thing.
Year after year, just about the first sign of life on the roses, late March or mid April FOR SURE is...
This year NOT ONE SINGLE APHID!! This is totally unheard of and beyond my experience gardening here in the Pacific Northwest.
Now I don't miss them at all. But it seems very strange. I haven't noticed a large increase in ladybugs or anything else that might effect them, and I didn't use and more or less pesticides than I have in the past.
Anybody have any ideas?
Have you been using the garden to recyle your beer? Has your dog?
Aphids messed me up.. I used seven dust.. waiting to get flamed.. but that's my post and I stick to it..
I noticed the absence of aphids on my rhodie blooms this year. Usually, the buds are crawling with aphids, but this year - nothing!
I live in Longview, WA.
We had a very cold period a few weeks back after a warming period. It was cold enough to frost. I wonder if that would have killed off any potential aphid army?
Thank the Lord...and move on !!!!!
Seriously, nothing has changed. I was wondering if anybody else noticed it. Maybe they all went south for the summer... It's quite unusual, and it seems SOMETHING must have changed, but nothing I did.
Did you ever hear of "global warming?" :))
Thank you.
I have roses in about 6 spots, different types, and usually they ALL have some aphids. Never noticed them so much on the rhodies. But each tear I grow cabbage and they tend to love that stuff, this year they are clean also.
Hope it's not some nasty environmental indicator.
I am in NJ and a novice gardener (I mean, novice probably gives me more credit that I deserve, I grew up in apartments my own life and now I'm trying to grow things), but I did notice the rhodie that are planted by my deck (not by me, exisitng when we moved in) look FABULOUS this year.
We had an extremely mild and dry winter, probably the easiest winter I can remember in my 54 years, could that be it?
Have you been gardening organically over the past several years? There's oftentimes a lagging effect of gardening without synthetics that isn't fully realized for a few years. Maybe the aphid predators just caught up with them?
I live on the Hood Canal. This is the best Spring on record for many, many moons. Thank your blessings the Aphids are gone.
Perhaps, you live close to a medical marijuana farmer and he unleashed some predator mites. That happened to me about 10 years ago in Kingston.
A rather large grower who lived a street over released 100,000+ Lady Bugs on his crop. Instead of staying put they swarmed the neighborhood and roosted on the South wall of my shop. LOL! I bet he didn't waste his money on such silly "Integrated Pest Management" scheme's after that!
The only thing different was that last year I put a bit more lime on them than I usually do. Maybe 50% more. And not even on all the roses...
If you don't want to go the insecticide route go with Ladybugs. I think you can order them live either on line or ask at a local garden center. Ladybugs just eat them things right up!
There is a place down in the valley near me that has a ton of wild dill growing, I could go and snag some of that. For some reason, ladybugs absolutely love dill and the plants are usually covered with them.
More seriously, are your ants gone?
Sadly, no.
Oh well!!
What do you do with your tobacco, have you ever tried to make a cigarette equal to a store bought one (refined, well dried,flavorful)?
I've considered a tobacco crop.
Is it hard to grow in Texas?
Too bad, missing ants would explain missing aphids.
(OTOH, then we'd have to worry about why the ants are missing...)
Here in Michigan, the few hot days we had in April brought a lot of the bugs out early only to be killed by the frost.
It's been an odd spring in many places. All blooming things put on a show here, too. Can't say about aphids since I went to a distinctly casual, low maintenance approach to my landscaping years ago and just wouldn't have noticed and don't have anything that would be all that adversely affected even if there were an infestation.
But, the lightning bugs are just amazing this year, normally not even seen until June, they've been out in force since early May, lighting up trees on the edges of fields like Christmas twinkle lights.
Very odd, but beautiful.
Yes, they did. Thanks a lot. Like the squirrel aren't enough trouble.
I'll be able to answer your question in a few years, after I get the kinks worked out or give up.
We did have a nasty, nasty ice storm back in January, and the tree limbs, plants, ground, everything was coated in ice for about three days.
Now I don't know where aphids hang out in January or if an ice storm would bother them... I know one of the other PIA bugs we have around here is earwigs, and they breed and live in the ground during the winter. Sometimes doing spring digging, I hit a nest of them, and all the sudden like you see ten thousand tiny earwigs on your shovel (or gloves!!)
But they are basically scavengers and totally harmless.
Ugly, but harmless.
I've stuffed my own for over 15 years, and use good tobacco, either from a friend's farm in NC, or what I grow myself.
No aphids on my roses. I don't have stink bugs either, although my neighbors all do.
Probably means I'm too nasty even for bugs.
If you can grow petunias you can grow tobacco. Lots of it planted around here, my dad's family were tobacco planters going way back. Tobacco likes hot humid weather and a thunderstorm every couple of days with baking sun in between. East Texas should work, west I don't know. Burley works in cooler climes, brightleaf in hotter ones. Burley is easier to cure.
"Aphids messed me up.. I used seven dust.. waiting to get flamed.. but thats my post and I stick to it.."
Diatomaceous Earth (food grade): bug killer you can eat!
Diatomacious Earth (often referred to as "DE") is an off white talc-like powder that is the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. When sprinkled on a bug that has an exoskeleton (such as bed bugs, ants or fleas) it gets caught between their little exoskeleton joints. As they move, the diatomaceous earth acts like razor blades and cuts them up. But it doesn't hurt mammals. We can eat it. We do eat it! It's in lots of grain based foods because lots of grains are stored with diatomaceous earth to keep the bugs from eating the grain!
Die bugs! Die! Die! Die!
I have heard two explanations of how diatomaceous earth works.
One is that on a microscopic level, the diatomaceous earth particles are very sharp looking. These particles stick to an insect and get stuck between its exoskeleton joints. As the insect moves, it gets physically cut up.
The other explanation is that diatomaceous earth sticks to the insect and somehow causes them to dry out. I think this approach involves scratching the insects waxy layer which then allows precious moisture within the insect to get out. So their teeny tiny bug-innards turn into teeny tiny bug-innards-jerky.
A reader, Sue, in Washington state writes:
Both are true and connected. DE is almost pure silica (with some beneficial trace minerals); under a microscope, it looks like shards of glass (glass is made from silica). On any beetle-type insect that has a carapace, like fleas and cockroaches, the DE works under the shell and punctures the body, which then dehydrates and the insect dies. DE is totally nontoxic. There is no buildup of tolerance like there is to poisons because the method of killing is PHYSICAL, not chemical.
The important thing to us is that if an insect with an exoskeleton gets diatomaceous earth on them, they die. At the same time, we can rub it all over our skin, rub it in our hair, eat it .... whatever ... and we are unharmed.
Diatomaceous earth kills all bugs. It has been reported to be the most effective solution when fighting pests like fleas, ants and bed bugs.
Farmers dump food grade diatomaceous earth by big scoops in with grains when the grains are stored. It kills the insects that want to feast on the grain. This is a great improvement over the stuff they used to put in with the grain.
Farmers feed gobs of diatomaceous earth (food grade) to animals in the hopes that it will cure whatever ails them. Many farmers swear that the stuff kills all sorts of worms in their critters.
Many people eat a quarter cup of food grade diatomaceous earth every day. They mix it into juice. I have visited with several people that are keen on living past 100 years that believe that eating lots diatomaceous earth every day will help them with that goal. I have found references where it is cited for colon cleansing, parasite control and detox.
One strange thing about diatomaceous earth is that for it to work on killing bugs, you have to keep it dry. Even morning dew can make diatomaceous earth ineffective.
I have encountered over a dozen ignorant boobs that have proclaimed "Diatomaceous Earth does NOT work!" I have read this statement in all caps. In extra big fonts. With italics. And I've even had it screamed at me. I'm gonna stick with "ignorant boobs". On closer inspection of each case there is always a flaw. Usually the problem is that it was not used correctly. Diatomaceous earth is not a bait. If you put a little bit in a pile somewhere, the bugs are not drawn to it and invite all their friends. I kinda wonder if the pesticide companies pay people to go to internet forums and say this sort of thing. Diatomaceous earth is super cheap, non toxic, and generally more effective than anything the pesticide companies have to offer - so it kinda cuts into their profit margins a bit. I've been meaning to create an experiment to set the record straight on this topic, but a participant in the diatomaceous earth discussion, Stephanie, beat me to it:
I tried my own experiment with the diatomaceous earth to see how quickly it kills the fleas; I caught a few fleas and put them in a jar with a pinch of diatomaceous earth - all were dead within just a couple of hours.
It just doesn't get any more clear than that.
How safe is diatomaceous earth?
The only known problem for people, mammals and birds that I have ever been able to find any reference to is breathing it in. For food grade diatomaceous earth, there is only the bother of breathing in any dust. There exists another variety of diatomaceous earth that has been fiddled with so it can be used for pool filters. The pool grade stuff would be bad for you because it contains up to 70% "crystalline silica". My understanding is that if you work with the pool grade stuff all day, every day, for years, you could get cancer. Don't mess with the pool grade stuff. Food grade diatomaceous earth will contain less than 1% crystalline silica.
This article is really about the pure, food grade diatomaceous earth. I have to say "food grade" over and over or some nitwit will quote a small slice and then bring up the pool grade issues.
I have heard from two people that said that they won't use diatomaceous earth anymore because "the tiny particles cut my lungs!" -— (deep sigh goes here) All I can say is "Did you actually examine your lung with a microscope and watch the diatomaceous earth cut into it?" - of course, they did not. I think the truth behind these reports is that these folks heard how diatomaceous earth works, and when they would breathe in the dust, it would make them cough - just as breathing in flour or corn starch would make you cough. And then they thought of the sharpness at a microscopic level. My understanding is that when diatomaceous earth becomes moist, the sharp thing is no longer happening. That's why you have to keep it dry when you use it.
I have heard that people working in the diatomaceous earth (food grade) mines have no greater health problems than the people working in any other mines. (I would like to get some sources for this info - if anybody has a link, please email me)
As long as you are using food grade diatomaceous earth, you are perfectly safe. Even if you breathe in gobs of it. Of course, if you are asthmatic or have lung problems of any kind, I would think breathing in big gobs of any kind of dust would be a bad idea.
gimmie gimmie gimmie!
There are a lot of varieties of diatomaceous earth, so when you are shopping, be sure to get the right stuff!
Make sure that you get food grade diatomaceous earth. Some people make 3% of the food they eat be diatomaceous earth. There are claims at parasite control, longevity and all sorts of perks. I know that food grade diatomaceous earth is used heavily in storing grains - so you are probably already eating lots of diatomaceous earth every time you eat any bread, pasta or other grain based food.
Farmers feed food grade diatomaceous earth to their animals to reduce parasites and provide other benefits.
Some places sell the diatomaceous earth (food grade) mixed with other stuff. And that is something I do not recommend. When I see a label that says "97% diatomaceous earth" I have to wonder what the other 3% is. If the packaging is about killing bugs, is it some sort of toxin? Did they add something like borates or pyrethrin for a little extra kick? I don't want that!
Some places sell diatomaceous earth that is for swimming pool filters - that is definitely what you do NOT want.
Some places sell an 8 ounce shaker. I think it is wise to get at least a few pounds of the stuff. It keeps well (it's already millions of years old) and is useful for so many things. And if you get too little, you are likely to not use enough.
So I've done a lot of research on this .... and I've used diatomaceous earth from about eight different sources ... and here is what I'm recommending: This is food grade diatomateous earth guaranteed to be "less than 0.5% crystaline silica". After a long talk with the guy that runs this outfit, I found out that most of this diatomaceous earth runs about 0.1% to 0.2% crystaline silica. By far the best I've ever heard of.
diatomaceous earth (food grade)
This next one is food grade diatomaceous earth where all they would tell me is that it has less than 0.5% crystalline silica. Not as good as the stuff above, but still way better than the others I could find:
Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) - Five Pounds
Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) - Ten Pounds
Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) - Fifty Pounds
I made a diatomaceous earth podcast.
I have more to say about using diatomaceous earth to solve specific problems:
flea control
ants and aphids
sugar ants
carpenter ants
flea beetles
bed bugs
slug control
dry preservation of legumes and corn
pin worms
hens and mites
Don't know what state you are in, but here due to the early warmth, the late cold, and maybe the great amount of water at the right time, our roses look and smell awesome this year. Usually they are eaten up by some sort of insect before they get so many blooms.
They're all down here in Alabama.
Ladybugs LOVE aphids! Please do not kill them and they will RICHLY reward you my EATING and KILLING all Aphids! Plus they are pretty and kinda cute to look at.
"....they all went to the aphidtheater"
I don't know it for a fact but I suspect the ladybugs love dill because there are a lot of pest category bugs there. Better find out for sure before you bring home something you wish you hadn't.
Did your state or county agricultural dept do a mass lady bug release? Are you noticing more lady bugs? NC did this a few years ago and we had fewer aphids.
There is another type of plant around here, not sure what exactly, some odd kind of azalea or camelia and the ladybugs love to lay their cocoons on it. In the spring, the plants are crawling with ladybug larvae, they look like black-and-orange alligator bugs!
Thanks for the info!
I've got good black soil that produces a great garden. Petunias? I am good with them until it gets too hot...but that may be partially my fault since I don't pinch their little heads off.
Probably to late in the year to start this experiment...but I may give a couple of plants a try next spring.
Enjoy it while you can.
We had no chiggers last summer in Texas, first time in my many decades of summers that I can remember not being chewed on. Didn't even need OFF.
Why? It was so dry here there was no grass. Chiggers don't live on bare ground or dead blades.
You're probably just experiencing a temporary phenomenon.
No kidding. It looked like my back yard had been nuked. Harshly.
Here in NY...our fruit trees have all been damaged because of erratic weather....a warm period enough to get the plants to a phase where they were vulnerable to a deep cold.
Someone needs to spread this around the White House.
If you can lay hands on some decent bedding plants it's not too late, they haven't been in the fields that long here. Not sure where you would come up with them though, even in a tobacco growing region. Everybody has their own tobacco beds that I'm aware. Never heard of anyone buying anything but seed for their own beds and then transplanting to the field.
You'll probably have to start them yourself from seed, on your kitchen windowsill or something. That may push it into next year unless you have a long growing season. They don't mind a little dry weather once established but do need rain. They will drown out and die if the soil remains waterlogged for very long. A good rain every couple of days interspersed with baking heat that dries the soil is ideal.
Easy cure for aphids that doesn't involve pesticides. Mix some dish washing detergent with water and spray them. Works like a champ.
I'm not big on the thought of smoking pesticides.
I started when I had been sick for 4 months with a weird cough/throat problem and found out it was due to the BP
refinery in Texas City Tx NOT fixing a major part.
This went on for 4 months and BP basically had no filter
on and major pollution was in the air.
This happened right about the same time of the gulf bp explosion...
Well I found out Diatomaceous Earth removes benzene and toxins so I gave it a try...
first yes it does get rid of worms and after about 7 months my throat stopped hurting...
there is silica in there so it really makes your hair and nails and bones stronger.....
after 1 year I had lost most of the pain I had and last month I fell from the truck flat on my back and thought I'm sure this will hurt,,,,,I never had any pain ...
for me it's a keeper

Female comedians laugh at adversity for Sydney Comedy Festival
- From: CENtRAL
- May 07, 2013
AN all-female comedy line-up is taking the stage tomorrow night to reinforce the importance of women's rights as part of the annual Sydney Comedy Festival.
Names such as Judith Lucy, Wendy Harmer, Claire Hooper and Gina Yashere are headlining the event, to be joined by several local comediennes.
Media officer Holly Miller from Action Aid Australia, an international anti-poverty organisation fighting for human rights around the world, said the evening was about highlighting the issues of women's rights through the power of laughter.
"I think it has come about through the recognition that women's rights need to be celebrated and encouraged, particularly for international women," she said. "Women are often perceived as victims of circumstance and violence, particularly when living in poverty. We need to celebrate that these rights for women are not earned, they have them just like everybody else."
Ms Miller said comedy was chosen as a new way of approaching women's rights because laugher was universal.
"No matter how hard things get we can still laugh it is about laughing in the face of adversity," she said.
She said she was thrilled to have such an energetic cast.
"Wendy Harmer hasn't done stand-up for five years so we are so excited she has decided to be a part of this," she said.
Rights! Comedy! Action! will take place at the Enmore Theatre on May 9, at 9.30pm. For details visit actionaid.org/australia/right-comedy-action

Both kiddos have grown up having their photo taken daily and understandably there are days when they want nothing less than to be in front of the lens. Luckily this hasn't put them off wanting to learn about being behind the camera.
Annie has her own camera and enjoys taking photos of things that she loves, so toys and snacks mostly!
Yesterday Ez made my heart sing when, after playing with his Plan Toys Camera, he asked to have a go with some of the real ones from my collection. His favourite was my Olympus Trip 35 because it looked a bit like the one on his t-shirt. He spent ages taking photos and making me say, 'cheese'.
He enjoyed playing with the Nikon One Touch but it had no film in so he was a bit frustrated that it wouldn't turn on. He really loved the Polaroid and Fuji Instax mini and we took a couple of selfies so he could see how magic instant cameras are.
I can't wait to see what hobbies the kiddos choose for themselves in the future, will they follow their Dad and learn a musical instrument or learn to code, or will they enjoy taking photos or spend all their spare time reading like I do? Or will they branch out and do something totally different like play sport or do dance classes?
Whatever they end up doing I'm sure that given how
stubborn determined they are they'll do well at it, and anytime they pick up a camera it will still make me smile.

"All is well that can be controlled with comfort"
(The game-designer on the Malicious project)
I think it's probably very easy to imagine that large epic games need intricate story-telling. In the sense that if you tell a story, that the presentation must lead you into the role of the hero, and then constantly back you up with side-story, princesses and reasons to fight. And that if this isn't fulfilled - if the game isn't a semi-interactive picture-book, or a computer-animated series you participate in - then we are talking about "just a game". Where your goal is staked out in terms of points and number-achievements. And where all the information is left to you in mysteriously blinking notepads, and badly voiced cutscenes.
But games don't really lend themselves particularly well to wordy theater performances. Instead it's the environment, and the interactivity you have in the game-world that engages you. I'll admit that I am a very big fan of extremely wordy games, like Planescape Torment or Fallout 1 & 2. But when put on the spot here, the writing was most successful as a tool to create the game-world, and your sense of interactivity and participation in it.
So it's actually a bit reassuring to play a game like Malicious that is unashamedly a game, but still has a convincing enough fantasy setting and player interactivity to lift the ceiling a bit for the usual and unambitious, flat video-game fluff.
Where the game-design takes advantage of the fact that it all happens in a fantasy-world. And the developers are, to paraphrase the game-designer, "greedily adding anything to make the game-experience better". But while still being grounded very firmly in a consistent vision for how the game is supposed to play. To the point where the added extras never draw away from that design vision.
Malicious (Alvion Inc, self-published in Japan. Sony Europe for EU, soon tba for the US)
(PS3, PSN, 1080p support)
Even if Malicious is all about impressive visuals and extremely good animation (I'm not going to write a novel about it, don't worry - but the shader for the dissolving of the edge of the mantle deserves one all by itself), what it actually makes me think about is games on more modest platforms. Games that had small and short introductions, but captured your imagination while you were playing the game later on. It seems to me that many new games with better graphics often fail at this, because they are so hung up on creating impressive visual set pieces, and presenting the writers' view of how interesting their characters are. While what we're really interested in is what you see as a player, and what it makes sense to know as a player.
..which is a more contrived way of saying that the player understands what is happening, without sneaking a peek at the script, I guess.
Malicious starts epically with... you agreeing to the PSN supplemental terms for the online leaderboards. Then it starts epically with you choosing the form of your Spirit Vessel. The Spirit Vessel is your avatar in the game-world, that the Elders have summoned to help them save their Kingdom from the Malicious.
The Malicious is, it turns out, a force that periodically attacks this world. It will manifest and then corrupt the Kingdom's people if they have room in their hearts for evil and hate and so on. Neither ruler or peasant is discriminated against, and at the point where the Spirit Vessel manifests, the previous rulers and heroes have been corrupted to some degree. Existing now without their own will, as shadows of their former self. And with their power, they are a threat to both the Kingdom's existence, and the peace in it.
So your task is to defeat them, one by one, to restore the Mantle of Cinders, so the Malicious can be banished.
Basically, you spawn into the game-world, and will be able to pick between five different boss-scenarios. Once you beat these stages, you can challenge Bane and the Malicious. They are all different stages, with different types of seamless progression through the stage. Do you pick a boss apart in close combat, using your Mantle to deflect their blows. Or do you sweep some of the minions first, to draw their spirit power and charge with a more powerful attack?
There's a dynamic involved here that doesn't completely force you to do one or the other. But the amount of blows the bosses eventually can take means that you will be clever about how you defeat them. So choosing the order of the bosses actually will open up different approaches for you to some extent.
If you prefer the sword, it will have particular strengths that favour one approach. While some of the bosses are weak against particular attacks. Not in numerical damage value as such, but in the way that strong attacks can stagger one enemy for follow-up attacks. While repeated and steady attacks between artful dodging will be the best way to defeat another.
Generally speaking, the auto-targeting easily allows you control enough to do that as well. But you will have a learning period on how to control the camera the best way, and how to unlock it at the right time to hit the right target, for example. There are also some situations where the camera will be stuck between you and a wall, and I would have liked the camera to be a bit more assisted than it is. But apart from those moments when a boss smacks you into a wall and stomps on top of the camera until you die - once you get the hang of it, the camera is effortless as well.
To top this off, the way the animation is perfectly accurate in terms of figuring out if you hit the boss in the shielded areas, or if you bypass it, makes dodging and countering work really well. The AI also complements this - you are not going to be utterly surprised by the AI behaviour, true. But the AI still reacts to you and your actions, rather than simply home in your position with undodgeable attacks. Which makes the difference between the game essentially figuring out the game's mechanics - and between dodging the attacks, and trying to aim and maneuver in for a critical hit. You can also tell when certain attacks will launch, and be able to avoid them by placing yourself quietly out of the boss' reach. So there is a lot of depth here, as well as replay value, in spite of the game being fairly short.
But then once the Malicious are defeated, you can leave the game-world and your powers behind, safe in the knowledge that the Malicious will not rise again. At least until your return, and assume the power of the Mantle for yourself again.
(Admit it, it's a pretty cute setup, isn't it.)
Malicious was released in October 2011 on the Japanese PSN. In February 2012 on the EU PSN, where the game is priced at about £6. Which is lower than most 2d repackages of flash-games. Alvion confirmed via twitter last week that they are currently making arrangements for a release on the US PSN.
(Full disclosure: I was successfully bribed with a small but interesting letter from the game-designer on the project. And I obviously do want to see more Alvion projects in the future. But then again, so do you, without any doubt :p)
edit: Soundtrack is out on the (EU) psn (256kbps mp3, no weird drm). Very good track, looping isn't extremely dynamic in the game, but you can hear how they've been using it when you listen to the music.

The Urban Renewal Agency just voted to split the bill with the county for their last round in court, however more court lies ahead.
Nez Perce County Attorney Dan Spickler said there are many questions surrounding the rebate money given out by the URA and said the county is looking for a ruling on how the money can be spent.
"And so what we're gonna ask the court is okay we've got this money, what is the status of this money what can we do with it," said Spickler. "It started out as tax money and now it's transferred to the URA back to the taxing entities, what can we do with it."
Spickler invited the city and URA to join in on the action, however very little interest was shown from URA members. The City of Lewiston has already budgeted the rebate money for street maintenance.
And while more court proceedings might be in the future, the board is not letting up as they prepare to unveil their plan of development to the city council. Prioritizing their large number of projects as well as getting price estimates are the next steps in the master plan. The agency will present the list of prospective projects to the council on June ninth. The council does have the final say on what projects will be completed.

The small reality
The good news is that predictive security has a compelling and obvious benefit, one that's captured the attention of CIOs and, in turn, spurred investment by the large big data and IT security companies. While none of the "usual suspects" in the vendor pool have a prepackaged and easily installed big data security offering, there are several things you can do to get ready for predictive security.
Instrumentation is consultant-speak for establishing logging and data capture on relevant devices and services. While your firewalls and package software may do a fine job with logging out of the box, third party applications or custom code that's accessible to the outside world may have minimal logging, or "orphaned" logging that's not integrated into your overall security and monitoring infrastructure. Even if a low-cost, drop-in solution for predictive security existed, if your IT shop doesn't have every application and device properly instrumented and centrally monitored, big data simply won't help.
Security's weakest link: Technology no match for social engineering
Practice and procedure
Even in organizations that have a well-managed security infrastructure, once a breach is identified there are often befuddled looks and no clear lines of reporting or responsibility, costing precious hours during an attack. While it's easy for IT to do security drills, what happens in a real incident where your back-end transactional or financial system is compromised? Can IT unilaterally shut it down, essentially pressing "pause" on your company's ability to market, ship goods, or record, and manage cash? Who needs to be notified, and who has ultimate decision making authority? The main promise of predictive security is buying an organization time; however, well-planned procedures that include all elements of your business, not just IT, can do the same in the short term.
AwarenessThanks to the US Government and its NSA antics, IT security is on the forefront of many executives' minds. Not only may some remote hacker be snooping around your network, but now government actors from around the world may be siphoning data for their own mercurial purposes. It may be tempting to fuel the fear and speculation to capture a fattened security budget, but now is the time for IT and data experts to bring some calm and rationality to discussions around security. This is a concern that's been elevated to the Board level at many organizations, and one that could use some sound, technically-grounded advice. Conveying what's currently possible, and what's coming down the road in terms of big data-driven predictive security and forensics, is a great start regardless of whether that technology is available today.

Cowboys Catch-Up
While the Mavs have been imploding and the Stars surging, your Dallas Cowboys have made some news of their own. In no particular order:
*Tony Romo is not married to Jessica Simpson … Yet.
*With Dallas' first full-squad minicamp still two weeks away, is it too early for Sports Illustrated's power rankings? Didn't think so. How's No. 4 grab ya?
*The Cowboys will be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks this summer. Back in '02 we were bored by Dave Campo singing and Bill Bates debating the speed of a grouse and Richmond Flowers, well, singing some more. But I predict Pacman Jones' off-day visit to this place will be the highest-rated episode in show history.

*Over the weekend tight end Jason Witten hopped up on stage with Kenny Chesney. Can we still consider him a cool guy?
*Owner Jerry Jones says that of the 15,000 mondo-expensive seats at the new stadium that went on sale around Thanksgiving, the Cowboys have sold about 8,000. "It's beyond my expectations," Jones says, adding that the cheaper, er, more affordable seats will be go on sale "real soon." The Cowboys keep saying sales are brisk, but chances are you – like me -- know somebody who knows somebody that didn't buy season tickets in the new joint because they couldn't afford it.
*Former first-round draft pick Bobby Carpenter is moving again, this time to weakside inside linebacker. Last year he made a whopping two tackles on defense, so it can't get much worse.
*Here are some pics from the email I was looking for earlier. In Jersey, these nimrods are affectionately called "Guidos." Aside from being ridiculously hilarious, they are mostly New York Giants fans. It's just not right that they're happier than us is it? -- Richie Whitt
