2012 for me was the year that social media grew up. With a little help from Google, a little push from native advertising and a giant shove from social listening, we're finally here.
Social media is being taken seriously. It's all grown up. It matters and we can finally stop having that awkward question around ROI.
So what happened?
Coming from an agency with a heritage in search, the biggest thing to happen to social media was the Panda / Penguin updates. Google could finally hear what was important to the people. Website to website linking wasn't the only factor that contributed to page rank. It was about the people consuming the data. Those much maligned likes, retweets and shares were now tangible currency. All of that content marketing we've been pushing for years? Well, it finally had a purpose outside showing Google you're adding new pages to a website.
As we head into 2013, will Google crack sentiment analysis? Will they conquer people using bad social to game their algorithm? How will authorship affect ranking? Will authors become a commodity like links were way back when in 2011? Who knows? All I can say is that I loved the update. It put the challenge back on the digital marketer to create meaningful content that...and wait for this...actually interests the consumer.
Native advertising on the major social platforms also took a massive leap in the right direction this year. Twitter for me have taken social advertising to levels traditional display marketers could only have dreamed of. 1-4% engagement levels? Incredible stuff. We're not only experiencing great engagement, we're seeing conversions exceed expectations as well. Facebook have been busy as well. They've had the Cheryl Sandberg treatment this year and some of their advertising options are inventive and engaging. They've hit mobile hard, almost to the point where it interrupts the user experience (If I see another Tough Mudder advert...), but it's paying dividends. The share price is on the way up. LinkedIn are also monetising at a rate of knots.
Overall, we're seeing a de-fluffing of social media paid advertising. The big names in social platforming are moving away from the freemium model onto a paid eyes version. Great news for them, an expensive challenge for the agency / client. However, with social becoming a layer that sits over the web more than a channel, it's becoming hard to ignore the need to invest.
The final big moment has come from the data. Everyday people are sharing their thoughts freely across forums, blogs, tweets and Facebook updates. We've been able to harvest this information and turn it into meaningful insights for years. Creative ideation underpinned by social data is how I see the future. We're already seeing some superb executions of this idea, the 360i Bacon Barter challenge used the social noise around bacon (and there was masses of it) to send a comedian around America with nothing more than a van load of Oscar Mayer bacon. He used this as currency with the American people. The campaign was a rip roaring success both online and offline. 2013 is going to see more campaigns like this. Social listening is the biggest thing to happen to marketing since consumerism was invented.
So overall, I'm pretty pleased with how things have gone this year. It's onwards and upwards. What will it look like this time next year? Who knows. All I know is it's still the most exciting place to be in marketing.
2012 – The year social grew up
2012 for me was the year that social media grew up. With a little help from Google, a little push from native advertising and a giant shove from social listening, we're finally here.

Spike Lee has grown into complete mastery of the director's craft, but in "OIdboy," he and his inventive screenwriter, Mark Protosevich, can do little more than wrestle the brutal material to a draw. This alteration of a decade-old Korean cult revenge film fleshes out and sharpens the tale of a kidnap victim kept in solitary confinement for 20 years and then mysteriously released.
Sadly, without a total overhaul, the moviemakers can't elevate a story that goes speedily and relentlessly downhill. Hammer homicides, slit throats and baroque shootings lubricate the second half with gore.
Their smartest move is depicting the antihero as a bloated, upwardly mobile American ad-man, Joe Doucett, who's still trying to live a Mad Man lifestyle in the early 1990s. Doucett's name resembles the French word for "sweet," "soft" or "tender," but even before he lands in his cell he's a macho narcissist who compensates for his encroaching flabbiness with bluster.
Josh Brolin did a full De Niro for the role – gaining 28 pounds, then shedding 22.5. He's impressive as Doucett takes advantage of solitude to gain control of his life, turning himself into a lean, mean fighting machine with help from televised exercise and martial arts shows. His character, though, remains a stunt. It's as if he's unraveling his own voodoo doll to lift a spell. He doesn't know just how cursed he is.
Lee and Protosevich (who previously cowrote the story for "Thor," another big guy with a hammer), fill Doucett's jail time with eerie, absurd touches, including choice parodies of early cable programs. Once he's out, he gets to know his antagonist as a fey European voice coming over a customized smartphone.
In a clever stroke, Doucett doesn't realize the full clout or surveillance power of the new global super-rich. Doucett's one old friend (Michael Imperioli) is a salt-of-the-earth bartender. They bonded as déclassé classmates at a snooty private school.
Elizabeth Olsen is both sensitive and sexy – she really is doucette – as the Good Samaritan and former substance abuser who becomes the antihero's right-hand gal and lover. Unfortunately, she and Brolin do their good work in a movie that sinks to using a subject as charged as incest for a narrative double whammy – a psychic coup de grace.

In Christianity, One Size Does Not Fit All
By: Rev. Dr. Jerry S. Maneker
"And he gave some apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Although the Apostle John is often referred to as the Apostle of love, the Apostle Paul is certainly no slouch in this matter either! Paul, who consistently preached grace and faith, saw that "love" was the means and goal of living the Christian life as befits one who is a true disciple of Christ, and not a mere churchgoer.
The quest for unity that Jesus prayed to God for His Church (John 17:21) comes about by each of us faithfully fulfilling our God-ordained ministries. Each of us, LGBT or Straight, has been given by God our unique roles, all of which are to dovetail with each other, so that the whole body of the Church is built up as an instrument of Christ to be an agent of God's grace in this world; to be God's instrument of love, which is to also be true of each of God's children who are His disciples.
God is certainly " not the author of confusion, but of peace ." (1Corinthians 14:33) Therefore, although our ministries may well be different, and may well tackle subjects that are different from the ministries of some others, those ministries are not to be contradictory to each other; are not to be causes of enmity between Christians; are not to cause confusion; are not to in any way water down or distort the Gospel of grace (God's unmerited favor.), the only Gospel to be found in Christianity.
The goal of our collective ministries is to depict a glimpse of the vision of the Kingdom of God on this earth, recognizing that the actual Kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem, will have to wait until we are translated from this sin-cursed world to heaven in which God has prepared a place for each of His children. Our individual ministries are to exhibit love; our collective ministries are to also express love and unity, so that all people can see that we are a "peculiar people" sold out to God, to God's concerns, and to God's will and work in this world.
God's Word makes it clear that there is unity in diversity! Indeed, God specializes in diversity! So, God in His wisdom makes all sorts of people with all sorts of disparate characteristics, including that of sexual orientation.
As Paul wrote, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." (1Corinthians 12:12, 14-18)
In other words, when it comes to our ministries, one size doesn't fit all! Indeed, we are each called upon to fulfill certain ministries that befits God's calling of each of us based upon His sovereign knowledge of us, a knowledge that far transcends our knowledge of ourselves; certainly far transcends our knowledge of each other.
God made His own LGBT children and has given them as gifts to the Church and to society, just as He has made His own Straight children and given them as gifts to the Church and to society. No one is to ever ignore or deny that fact for to do so not only seeks to limit the sovereign will and work of God, but throws God's grace and creation back in His face, thereby committing a grievous sin!
Whether a person denies the dignity of another based upon sexual orientation, or denies one's own dignity as a person of God based upon his or her sexual orientation, he or she is both denying him/herself an "abundant life," and is also denying the sovereignty, graciousness, and love of our God who specializes in the diversity of His creation!
God knows what He's doing, and we are not to let cultural values that embody and extol as a virtue hetero-normativity or the status quo that are frequently antithetical to the values of God, or allow other people, even professing Christians, to either define our realities for us, or to tell us what ministries we are to seek to fulfill. God has made those decisions for us, and we commit a grave sin if we choose to listen to other professing Christians, even well meaning ones, regarding the lives we live or the ministries we are to undertake and seek to fulfill.
Our sovereign, frequently inscrutable, God, knows what He wants in this world; knows what He wants from each of His children; knows what He wants to be the ministry that He has implanted in His child's mind, and those of us who do our very best to follow our Lord and Master, Jesus, are not to allow any other person, professing Christian or not, to eclipse or contradict God's call on any part of our lives, let alone the ministry that God has ordained for, and communicated to, each of those whom He chose from the foundation of the world to be His agents of grace and love in and through our very lives and in and through the ministries He and He alone has ordained for each of us.
No better place is this truth hammered home than in the story related in 1Kings 13:7-26 that deals with "the lying prophet!" This is a very strange story, and one that we rarely, if ever, hear preached about.
Briefly put, after the "man of God" appealed to the Lord to restore King Jeroboam's hand to its normal state, " the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward." (v. 7) The man of God initially refused, and said to the King that he was charged " by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest." (v. 9)
When "the lying prophet" made the man of God the same offer of hospitality, the man of God reiterated God's command to him. However, the lying prophet lied to the man of God and, "He said to him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him." (v. 18)
Unfortunately, the man of God believed this lying prophet " and did eat bread in his house, and drank water" (v. 19), thereby not listening to God but chose to listen to another prophet. The rest of the story shows how the man of God came to a bad end because he chose to listen to another prophet rather than listen to God's unique command and call on his life.
Whether this story is historically accurate or not is beside the point. It seems to me that its main value is that this account is metaphorically crucial for all of God's children to take to heart, as this story gets at the very crux of our cold turkey choice: are our lives and ministries to be directed by other fallible human beings and/or by the secular and "religious" values of the given society in which one lives, or are our ministries to be directed by God and by God alone?
Put another way, are we to listen to God or are we to listen to people? Do we tenaciously adhere to the status quo, follow the pack, and do what is seemingly culturally appropriate and approved by others, even other professing Christians, or do we listen to God's voice in His directing us in the unique paths each of us is to follow?
When Peter and other Apostles were told by God to go to the Temple and preach the Gospel, and some religious leaders put them in prison for so doing, and they were then miraculously freed from that prison, and they then again disobeyed the religious leaders and, rather, obeyed God and preached in the Temple, they were again confronted by the High Priest and other religious leaders and were told, " Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:28-29)
Here, Peter and the other Apostles did what all of God's children are called upon to do in the uniqueness of their lives and ministries: they spoke truth to power! They said that they would obey God and not mere man, not mere religious (or any other) powers. God was their priority, not anything or anyone else, no matter how fearsome or overwhelming the opposition!
They willingly placed themselves in great jeopardy, even risking death, for listening to God and not to the conventional religious "wisdom," and most did suffer death for the faith, but they insistently maintained their testimony, "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." (Acts 5:30-32)
Each one of us is to proclaim the Gospel, the Good News, that Jesus came to save us from the eternal consequences of our sins; He became our sin-bearer; He is the propitiation for our sins; He is our Propitiatory; He is the unblemished Lamb Who was and is the only One worthy to take on our sins and have them separated from us as far as the east is from the west; He is our only means of being reconciled to a just, holy, and righteous God; through Jesus we are redeemed, justified, and made righteous; all people who trust the finished work of Christ on the Cross, and rest in the knowledge that they are saved solely by God's grace, and recognize that our most laudable works, as wonderful as they may be, are far too inadequate to be of any value in aiding our salvation in any way, belong to God; God paid it all, and there is nothing we have to do, be we Gay or Straight, except to have implacable trust in our Sovereign God Who chose us before the worlds were formed to be His own possession; God alone is to direct the lives and ministries He has ordained for each one of His children.
"Salvation," as wonderful as that fact is, is not the crucial issue here, as that fact has been taken care of 2,000 years ago on that Cross where we were "in Him" when He died, and so we "in Him" died as well. And dead men and women can't sin! So, despite our many sins, we are reckoned by God as "righteous."
What is at issue here is that just as we have been "crucified with Christ" (Galatians 2:20), and that we are dead and our " life is hid with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3), we are to allow God to take our dead bodies and raise them up to new life by taking to heart our Baptism into His very own death and Resurrected life.
Our Resurrected life demands the fulfillment of our God-given ministry or ministries until God calls us home! We have been put on this earth to love each other, but we have not been put on this earth to necessarily please each other!
Many times our expressions of love may be viewed as quite the opposite by other people, even other professing Christians. Many times our ministries may be viewed as being anathema to the Christian life as it's conventionally understood by some, or even by many, professing Christians.
These realities are not to be of any concern to us! By all means, we are to take counsel with Christians whom we respect, but it is our responsibility to ultimately decide what God wants for us, and we are not to confuse the reason for our making that decision with either our own desires, with what is deemed to be politically correct at the moment, or with the perceived expectations of others who profess to be Christians, regardless of their standing in the Church or in society.
Just as life is an experiment of one, in the Christian life, as in life itself, one size doesn't fit all! We are to respect the God-given ministries of all of our brothers and sisters, and only confront, lovingly if possible and contentiously if necessary, those who pervert the Gospel of grace and love by seeking to impose their preconceived prejudices and values on the Gospel, thereby distorting the Gospel into a false gospel of legalism and perfectionism, that redounds to the perversion of Christianity in the minds of many, and to the perversion of the Gospel within the Church itself.
The saying, "In essentials unity; in non-essentials, liberty; and in all things, charity," is a wonderful rule of thumb. The only caveat I have toward that excellent statement is when one obeys mere fallible human beings and not God; when one's "ministry" perverts the Gospel of grace, the only Gospel to be found in Christianity, as such a perversion shows itself to be not of God, but of mere man, or even of the very devil himself.
So, let's respect each other's uniqueness and let's respect the uniqueness of each other's ministries. However, let's make sure that each of our ministries exhibits God's grace and love, the very essence of the Gospel, and does not manifest the harsh, censorious, judgmentalism that all too often exists in the guise of "Christianity."
Such a false gospel of legalism, perfectionism, exclusion, frequently peppered with smugness, and self-righteousness, is diametrically opposed to Christianity. And that false gospel places yokes of bondage on others that is diametrically opposed to God's will, as Jesus came to remove those very yokes of bondage from ourselves and from others, and thereby enable us to live the abundant life, and fulfill the ministries to which He has called each one of us.
And if our ministry is not borne of, and expressed in, love; if it doesn't rely on and preach of God's grace (unmerited favor), we are thwarting God's will for ourselves, for others to whom we seek to minister, and for our ministries to which He has called us.
And at that last day, when we look back on our lives and ministries, it would be a profound tragedy if we realized that we were really mere people-pleasers, and that we didn't have the faith to follow God's plan for our lives, and fulfill the ministry, regardless of how unpopular it may have been, that He uniquely ordained for us.
None of the Apostles (save Judas) and other heroes of faith ever had to face that profound sense of tragedy! Let's you and I use them as role models so that when our time is up we can take heart in knowing that we did our best to follow God's plan for our lives, that be we LGBT or Straight, we were authentic in living our lives as God made us and directed us, and that we were not distracted or co-opted by the wiles of mere human beings or of the devil himself!

KOCORAS, District Judge:
This matter is before the court on Defendants Caroline Danforth and Barcan Communications, Incorporated's motion to dismiss this action as it applies to them on the ground that this court lacks personal jurisdiction over them. Plaintiff The Stuart-James Company not only opposes this motion but also itself moves this court to impose Rule 11 sanctions on Danforth and Barcan, claiming that they have made false statements of fact in their pleadings on this issue. Danforth and Barcan, not to be out-done, move for the imposition of sanctions against Stuart-James on similar grounds. For the following reasons, we deny all three motions.
The dispute in this case revolves around certain stock purchases as well as the events following them. During the two-week period beginning January 15, 1990, and ending January 30, 1990, Stuart-James, an investment banking firm, purchased 795,000 shares of Barcan stock on behalf of the holders of various stock accounts. Stuart-James contends that all of the named defendants, working together, fraudulently induced these sales and made other fraudulent misrepresentations in connection
Stuart-James's complaint alleges the following. On January 15, 1990, Defendant Albert J. Rossini, purporting to be connected with Danforth as well as with Barcan and Defendant Basingstoke Holdings, Ltd, both Canadian corporations, opened a series of accounts with the Illinois office of Stuart-James. Danforth is the president and a director of both Barcan and Basingstoke. These accounts were opened on behalf of various entities, including corporate Defendants Basingstoke, AMR Associates, MRO Capital Partners Real Estate and Ergo Asset Management, as well as on behalf of Rossini himself. Through these accounts, the named entities were entitled to place orders for stock which Stuart-James would then go out and purchase in the market. Once purchased, the owners of the accounts were expected to pay for the stock within a prescribed contractual period.
Beginning on January 15, the day the accounts were opened, the account holders all began placing orders for Barcan stock, although the principal purchases were made through the Basingstoke account. Per their agreement, Stuart-James promptly began to purchase Barcan stock from the marketplace to fill these orders. This buying spree continued until January 30, 1990, when Stuart-James executed its last order for Barcan stock on behalf of the account holders. When the dust had settled, Stuart-James had reason to be concerned: it found itself the owner of 795,000 shares of Barcan stock obtained at a cost of over $550,000, but for which it had not yet received any payment from the account holders. Further, as a result of this massive buying effort, the price of Barcan stock soared from a price of $.27½ per share as of January 15 to $.91 per share on January 30 when the last share was purchased by Stuart-James.
The fact that Stuart-James had not yet received any money, however, was not due to a lack of effort on its part. It had been sent several checks by both Rossini and Danforth, the latter's efforts being taken on behalf of an entity called Argonaut Management, Incorporated. But to date, none of these checks has cleared and the only money that has been paid on this $550,000 debt is $24,000 received by wire transfer.
After trying and failing to obtain payment from Rossini and Danforth amicably, it brought this action on February 15, 1990. The complaint is comprised of three counts. Count I is a securities fraud claim under SEC Rule 10b-5. It alleges that the named defendants were involved in a scheme to manipulate the price of Barcan stock to their advantage and induced Stuart-James to purchase massive quantities of Barcan stock in furtherance of this fraudulent goal. Indeed, Stuart-James contends that the defendants were selling the very shares of Barcan stock which Stuart-James was purchasing in the market for the defendants. Jurisdiction over this federal statutory cause of action is asserted under 15 U.S.C. § 78aa (§ 27 of the SEA) and, of course, 28 U.S.C. § 1331, which provides federal jurisdiction over federal questions generally. Counts II and III are pendent state claims for common law fraud and breach of contract. Stuart-James also asserts the Illinois long-arm statute, presumably as an alternative source for in personam jurisdiction over the defendants on the state claims.
Concerned that the defendants would begin disposing of assets as well as selling off Barcan stock in a manner which would destroy its artificially inflated market price, Stuart-James immediately moved for a temporary restraining order enjoining the defendants from accomplishing any of the above-mentioned acts. The motion was
Defendants Danforth and Barcan, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, have now moved to dismiss the complaint and dissolve the restraining order as it applies to them on the theory that this court lacks in personam jurisdiction over them. Stuart-James not only vigorously opposes this claim but also moves in its response brief for Rule 11 sanctions on the theory that the Danforth and Barcan's motion contains demonstrably false assertions of fact. In their reply brief, Danforth and Barcan make the identical claim against Stuart-James and also move for the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions.
I. Personal Jurisdiction
A. The Legal Standard
Before reaching the actual issue of whether this court has personal jurisdiction over Danforth and Barcan, we must clarify the statutory source for the assertion of in personam jurisdiction and the legal standard under that source. Such clarification is necessary because the movants' entire jurisdictional argument is premised on the assumption that the Illinois long-arm statute governs in this federal securities fraud action with pendent state claims. We find, however, that the Illinois long-arm statute has absolutely no relevance to this case. In addition, we note that even if the long-arm statute did apply, the movants' arguments under it would be inconclusive under the recently-amended version of the provision.
1. The Source for Personal Jurisdiction in This Case is 15 U.S.C. § 78aa, Not the Illinois Long-Arm Statute
Danforth and Barcan's personal jurisdiction argument does not raise a lack of minimum contacts under the fifth amendment; nor does it raise a lack of personal jurisdiction or proper venue under § 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78aa. What it does assert is a lack of personal jurisdiction under the Illinois long-arm statute. Ill.Rev.Stat. ch. 110, § 2-209 (1987). Specifically, the movants claim that Stuart-James has not pled facts which come within any of the five subsections of the long-arm statute as it existed before the amendment of the statute in September of 1989. We find, however, that Illinois' long-arm statute has nothing whatsoever to do with this case.
In the first place, the supremacy clause of the federal constitution forbids the use of the Illinois long-arm statute to narrow the reach of this court's in personam on the Rule 10b-5 claim. The Securities Exchange Act, unlike many federal causes of action, does have a provision governing the reach of its mandates and where they may be enforced. See 15 U.S.C. § 78aa. Section 78aa clearly provides for nation-wide service of process. Thus, the only limits on the reach of § 78aa are provided by the principles of procedural due process, and in particular minimum contacts, as found in the fifth amendment of the United States Constitution. The constitutional test, moreover, is not that there be minimum contacts with the state in which the federal court hearing the case sits, as it would be when testing the constitutionality of the assertion of personal jurisdiction under a state long-arm provision but, rather, that there be minimum contacts with the United States. See, e.g., Entek Corp. v. Southwest Pipe & Supply Co., 683 F.Supp. 1092, 1099-1103 (N.D.Tex. 1988) (describing generally the applicability of state long-arm statutes in federal question cases, involving both federal statutes which do have nation-wide service of process provisions and those which do not). Although the Illinois long-arm statute might be relevant under Rule 4(e) with respect to how service of process was made in this case, neither Danforth nor Barcan has challenged service of process in their pre-answer motion and they therefore have waived any claim in this respect. See Rule 12(h).
Furthermore, the Illinois long-arm statute is also irrelevant to establishing
2. Movants' Argument Under the Illinois Long-Arm is Misplaced in any Event
We also feel the obligation to point out that even if the Illinois long-arm statute was relevant in this case, Danforth and Barcan's argument under Ill.Rev.Stat. ch. 110 § 2-209 is inapposite. The movants' argument is premised entirely on the assumption that the facts of the case must fall within one of the five types of actions to which the statute is directed in order for it to apply. And indeed, this argument would have been possible to make had the facts giving rise to this litigation arisen before September 7, 1989. See, e.g., Cook Assocs., Inc. v. Lexington United Corp., 87 Ill.2d 190, 197, 57 Ill.Dec. 730, 733, 429 N.E.2d 847, 850 (1981) ("the boundaries or limits under our statute are not to be equated with the `minimum contacts' test under the [fourteenth amendment's] due process clause").
Effective September 7, 1989, however, the Illinois legislature has amended § 2-209 so that it now reaches the outer limits of the federal constitutional boundary called minimum contacts and fundamental fairness. Where the statute used to state that "[o]nly causes of action arising from acts enumerated herein may be asserted against a defendant in an action in which jurisdiction over him or her is based upon this Section," it now provides that "[a] court may also exercise jurisdiction on any other basis now or hereafter permitted by the Illinois Constitution or by the Constitution of the United States." Act of Aug. 19, 1989, P.A. 86-840, sec. 1, § 2-209(c), 1989 Ill.Leg.Serv. 4069, 4069 (West). Thus, the movants' insistence that the facts alleged by Stuart-James do not arise under the five acts delineated in § 2-209, even if correct, does not defeat personal jurisdiction here.
Having determined that 15 U.S.C. § 78aa is the proper standard by which to measure Danforth's and Barcan's amenability to suit in this case, we proceed to apply that provision to these facts.
B. Personal Jurisdiction Under 15 U.S.C. § 78aa
Venue and statutory personal jurisdiction are coterminous under § 78aa. Section 78aa states that an action under the Securities Exchange Act "may be brought in the district wherein any act or transaction constituting the violation occurred ... or in the district wherein the defendant is found or is an inhabitant or transacts business." 15 U.S.C. § 78aa. Although Stuart-James has articulated a variety of theories by which personal jurisdiction would be proper under the decisional gloss which has resulted from the courts' interpretations of the statutory language, we
An excellent definition of the co-conspirator theory under § 78aa may be found in Keene Corp. v. Weber, 394 F.Supp. 787 (S.D.N.Y.1975):
Id. at 790-91 (citations omitted). The co-conspirator theory, moreover, has been approved in this district. Burkhart v. Allson Realty Trust, 363 F.Supp. 1286, 1292-93 (N.D.Ill.1973).
Under this theory, Stuart-James takes the position that Rossini was acting in this district as an agent of both Danforth and Barcan in a securities fraud scheme. There is no question that Rossini's purported acts were themselves fraudulent, so the only issue is whether Stuart-James has presented sufficient evidence of a connection between Rossini and the movants so as to bring them within the rule.
Before actually examining the evidence presented by Stuart-James, a brief word is in order with respect to the standard of review. Although the burden of proving jurisdiction always lies with the party invoking the federal forum, in order to defeat this motion for lack of personal jurisdiction, Stuart-James "need make only a prima facie showing of jurisdiction in its own affidavits and supporting materials." E.g., Landry v. Price Waterhouse Chartered Accounts, 715 F.Supp. 98, 100-01 (S.D.N.Y.1989). Although the movants are free to produce whatever evidence they desire, any conflicts in the evidence concerning this motion must be resolved in favor of the plaintiff. Turnock v. Cope, 816 F.2d 332, 333 (7th Cir.1987). With these general principles in mind, we proceed to analyze the evidence presented in this case.
Stuart-James supports jurisdiction over the movants in this case with a great many affidavits and supporting documents. Because we find considerably less than all of this evidence more than sufficient to support jurisdiction under 15 U.S.C. § 78aa, we will not assess every piece of evidence and the arguments made against it. Rather, we simply refer to what we find to be the key facts in the analysis.
It should also be mentioned at this point that the movants do not separate the jurisdictional arguments for Danforth and Barcan but focus almost exclusively on characterizing Danforth's actions as being insufficient to bring her within the reach of this district. They thus appear to concede that if jurisdiction over Danforth is proper, Barcan follows as well. This is consistent with Danforth's heavy reliance on the corporate shield doctrine. Although, based on this court's analysis in Part I of this opinion, this Illinois personal jurisdiction doctrine is not relevant here, by making the argument, the movants concede that Danforth's actions were all taken on behalf of Barcan. We nonetheless refer to evidence submitted by Stuart-James as it applies separately to Barcan and Danforth where such delineation is appropriate.
We find five key pieces of evidence presented by Stuart-James to be dispositive. First, Stuart James has presented evidence that both Danforth and Rossini were key players in Basingstoke, the holder of the account through which the vast majority of Barcan stock was ordered. There is a corporate document which contains Basingstoke's corporate seal and indicates that both Danforth and Rossini served as officers in Basingstoke. The affidavit of Samuel M. Cornelius alleges that Danforth herself sent the document to him on January 17, 1990. Stuart-James has also submitted two checks drawn on Basingstoke's account in Canada: one allegedly signed by Danforth and one signed by Rossini.
Second, Stuart-James has presented a lease for the Skokie office out which Rossini worked that appears to be signed by both Rossini and Danforth. The date on the lease is January 16, 1990, the day after Rossini opened the accounts with Stuart-James. In addition, the Basingstoke check signed by Danforth mentioned above was actually made for the purpose of paying the first month's rent on the lease. With respect to corporate defendant Barcan, it should be noted that the affidavit of Richard Johnson establishes that the telephone number for the Skokie office was listed under the name "Barcan" and Rossini listed Barcan's Vancouver phone number as his business phone when he opened the Stuart-James accounts.
Danforth's attempt to negate the strong inference which may be drawn from this evidence is likewise unavailing. Her response is that her signature on these two documents must have been forged because she never signed them. In further support of this contention, Danforth has submitted the letter of a handwriting analyst giving his expert opinion that the signatures are indeed forged. This, however, only puts the matter in dispute and this dispute must again be resolved in favor of Stuart-James. The handwriting expert's opinion is not conclusive; it is merely evidence that the signatures have been forged.
Third, the Cornelius affidavit also establishes that, on January 22, 1990, he managed to get Rossini and Danforth into a three-way telephone conversation with him. He states that in this conversation Danforth assured him that she would personally see to it that all the orders placed in the accounts opened by Rossini were paid for. He also states that Danforth in no way put him on notice that Rossini was not associated with her or Barcan.
Danforth's response to this evidence is ridiculous. She concedes that the conversation took place but argues that her actions in it are irrelevant because (1) Stuart-James does not allege that it relied on the promise and (2) there was no consideration for the promise. These purported flaws, however, are of no moment. The purpose of the conversation is not to plead and prove an independent fraud or breach of contract claim but to show a connection between Rossini and Danforth. It serves this purpose quite persuasively, movants' observations notwithstanding.
Fourth, Stuart-James presents evidence which directly ties Danforth to the price manipulation scheme. The affidavit of Robert A. Magnan states that Magnan telephoned Danforth several times in early February in an effort to speed up collection on the accounts. In these conversations, Magnan alleges that both Rossini and Danforth told him that Barcan planned to raise the money through a transaction which was contingent on the price of Barcan stock being no lower than $.75 per share. Further, Magnan states that, in a conversation on February 6, 1990, Danforth asked him to refrain from selling off any of the Barcan stock so that the price would not dip below $.75 per share. He alleges that Rossini repeated Danforth's concerns on February 7th in another telephone conversation.
The movants' response to this information is that it is irrelevant because it occurred after all the Barcan stock was purchased. This argument appears to assert the Rule 10b-5 purchaser-seller standing requirement in a jurisdictional context. The argument, however, is misplaced. Stuart-James does not contend that the February conversations constituted actionable fraud under Rule 10b-5; a simple reading of the complaint clarifies this fact. Instead, it takes the position that these conversations support an inference that Danforth, Rossini and Barcan were all involved in a scheme to manipulate the stock
Fifth and finally, Stuart-James has presented affidavits which allege that Danforth and Rossini worked together in prior schemes to manipulate Barcan stock. The Richard Berg affidavit states that, in his dealings with Danforth, she continually referred to Rossini as her partner and a fellow director of Barcan. The Edgar Donohoe affidavit alleges an almost identical situation to the one alleged here but in New York. Donohoe claims that his investment banking firm was passed bad checks drawn on a Barcan bank account and signed by Danforth and Rossini to pay for stock accounts which Rossini had opened in the name of Basingstoke.
Danforth and Barcan respond to these two affidavits by claiming that the affiants are lying. Given the standard of review on this motion, the movants apparently believe that they have established the falsity of these affidavits as a matter of law. The main support for this conclusion is a news release issued October 30, 1989, which basically states that Rossini is not an authorized agent of either Barcan or Basingstoke. The release is signed by Danforth in her capacity as director of Barcan. Danforth and Barcan also cite the release as evidence that even Stuart-James should have known of Rossini's fraudulent ways before it went ahead and believed him.
Again, however, the court must remind the movants that the release is, at very best, some evidence either that there was no conspiracy or that any reliance placed on later representations by Rossini was unreasonable. Although the movants are free to argue whatever theories they wish in attempting to avoid liability in this case, a simple reference to a conflict in evidence will never be sufficient to pull them out of the jurisdictional grasp of this court. This is not to even mention the fact that Danforth's post-news release conduct as alleged by Stuart-James appears to be significantly inconsistent with any disavowal.
These pieces of evidence—and we again note that by no means has every bit of evidence presented been discussed—overwhelmingly support an inference that Rossini was acting in concert with Danforth and Barcan when he made all his allegedly fraudulent actions in this district. Construing all facts in favor of Stuart-James, we find that in personam jurisdiction over these defendants is proper under 15 U.S.C. § 78aa. This leaves the issue of Rule 11 sanctions.
II. Rule 11 Sanctions
Both sides on this motion have moved for the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions on the grounds that the other has made demonstrably false statements of fact in arguing the merits of the motion to dismiss. We deny both motions as presented.
Stuart-James's motion is based on Danforth and Barcan's statement in its initial motion that Rossini had no authority to act on behalf of Barcan, nor had he ever possessed such authority. The supposed conclusive proof of this statement's falsehood, as put forward by Stuart-James, is the lease for the Skokie, Illinois office signed by Danforth, as Barcan's president, and Rossini, as Barcan's director. Stuart-James also refers the court to the Basingstoke check in payment of the first month's rent on the lease as signed by Danforth.
This "proof" of falsehood, however, is woefully deficient. As described above, the validity of Danforth's signatures on the lease and the check are hotly contested by the movants and a handwriting expert appears to agree with their claim. This is more than sufficient to defeat sanctions on the ground requested.
Not to be outdone, however, Danforth and Barcan claim that Stuart-James made demonstrably false statements in the form of the Donohoe and Berg affidavits. The "proof" of this claim is articulated as the October 30, 1989, news release discussed above and the fact that the movants simply disagree with all the inferences that may be drawn from these affidavits as argued by Stuart-James. This is not demonstrating falsehood by any standard of which this court is aware; it merely indicates disagreement. Although we choose not to impose sanctions sua sponte in this case,
For the foregoing reasons, we deny Danforth and Barcan's motion to dismiss based on a lack of personal jurisdiction as well as the parties' cross-motions for Rule 11 sanctions.

(CNSNews.com) - Two conservative groups paired up Thursday to launch a national ad campaign to educate grassroots groups and voters on their senators' actions and inactions on President Bush's judicial nominees.
The Family Research Council and Focus on the Family launched the first of the two ads Thursday in the Washington Times. A second will be launched in Nevada Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid's state. According to a press release, the ads urge senators to uphold the Constitution and "vote yea or vote nay but VOTE!"
"A small block of Senators, led by Nevada's Harry Reid, has handcuffed the Senate with a shameful parliamentary parlour trick - the filibuster - to deny qualified judicial nominees a constitutionally guaranteed up or down vote. Why? Because Senator Reid and his ideological allies are, well....obstructionists," the ads state.
"Our Constitution is clear and unambiguous. This parliamentary power play by a few Senators, concerned more with their own power than the voice of the people they were elected to service, is unconstitutional and must be stopped," the ads continue.
"Their actions shame the high office they hold, one which requires an oath to uphold the very Constitution they ignore," the ads conclude.
According to FRC President Tony Perkins, the ads "are just the beginning." He said his group and Focus on the Family want every American to know which senators "are doing their constitutional duty and upholding family, faith and freedom and which are not. We have no higher priority in 2005."

St. Anthony Hospital Newsletters
Dates: 1965-1968, 1972-1976
Accession Number: 20030704A
Donor: St. Anthony's Hospital
Description: Three folders in a document case
St. Anthony's Hospital (present-day Terre Haute Regional Hospital) was founded in the early 1880s with the financial support of Antonia Hulman.
The "first" St. Anthony's Hospital was a two-story brick house on the corner of North Second and Mulberry Streets in 1882. The as yet unnamed hospital was supported financially by Antonia Hulman and managed by two Franciscan nuns. A year later, Antonia Hulman became terminally ill and asked her husband, Herman Hulman, Sr., to continue financial support of the hospital after her death.
In 1883, with the two-story building at N. 2nd and Mulberry Streets able to house 18 patients at one time, Herman Hulman, Sr. bought a building at S. 6th and Farrington Streets formerly occupied by the defunct Saint Agnes' Academy. The building was refurbished and was named St. Anthony's Hospital in memory of Antonia Hulman's patron saint. When the hospital opened in its new location on January 1, 1884, there were 24 private rooms and a public ward serving the needs of 57 patients.
St. Anthony's Hospital expanded many times over the next several decades. A west wing was built in 1901, a north wing was added in 1909, and a south wing was added in 1922. During this period the original St. Agnes' Academy building was reno-vated into a nurses' dormitory and the third and fourth floors of the west wing were rebuilt. St. Anthony's Hospital engaged in its last expansion project in the 1950s, participating with Union Hospital in the United Hospital Project.
At its peak, St. Anthony's Hospital had 28 Franciscan nuns on its staff throughout the hospital. By the 1970s, two developments led to the purchase of St. Anthony's Hospital by the Hospital Corporation of America. First, the number of Franciscan nuns interested in a health-care career was declining. Then, the hospital commissioned a facility study which concluded that the aging facility would have to be replaced by 1985 in order to meet current technological standards. The Franciscans determined that funding the needed upgrades exceeded their current financial capabilities and began to negotiate with the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) to purchase the facility.
The Hospital
Corporation of America purchased St. Anthony's Hospital in 1975 and immediately
began building a new state-of-the-art facility that would address the concerns
of the earlier facility study. In 1979, the 96-year-old facilty at S. 6th
and Farrington was replaced by a modern five-story hospital complex at 3901 S. 7th
Content and Scope of Collection
This collection consists of an incomplete series of monthly newsletters published by St. Anthony's Hospital from 1972 to 1975. This collection was generated from holdings in the Community Affairs File of the Special Collections Department and continues in the Terre Haute Regional Hospital Newsletters collection (Accession Number 20030704B).
The newsletters contain articles about procedural changes and personnel changes in the hospital; announcements of upcoming professional education classes; conference attendance; departmental news and profiles; letters from appreciative former patients and articles about patient feedback; and a suggestion box column.
The newsletters also present updates on the facility study that provided the basis for the hospital's eventual purchase by the Hospital Corporation of America.
Of particular importance is the Monitor for February 1975. This issue provides information on the transition from management by the Franciscan religious order to management by the Health Corporation of America. Subsequent issues contain several news items about the transition in ownership.

I find coconut oil one of the most interesting oils on Earth. In fact, probably one of the healthiest! I learned that coconut oil is the fat that burns other fats. So a little bit of coconut oil is ok, like maybe one tablespoon per day. Too much coconut oil can start to cause problems though. Most likely, it will cause stomach problems. Another way to be healthy with fat is to save the fat from the meat you cooked and the next time you cook eggs for breakfast, cook it with the fat you saved instead of using olive oil or other oils that you by from the store that is processed. The oils that you should not use is canola or soybean oil. Switching from glucose to fat can be a huge deal for your body. If you switch all at once, it can cause many tummy problems. The worst case is that you might get a little sick. But if you switch gradually and be gentle to your body, then you may start to feel a little strange just like I did, but at least you are not sick. When your body adapts to this way of life, you may start to feel normal again just like before, or even better! If you continue to feel strange maybe after 3-4 weeks, either leave out the foods that are just not what your body wanted, talk to your doctor about it, or maybe this way of life is just not you. Thank You.

As you all know I love the Nike Training Club app ever since I knew it existed.
I have been using the app for quite some time now, and even though I feel I should be done unlocking all the rewards by now, I am steadily moving towards my goals.
A few weeks ago I unlocked the highly anticipated Super Salads reward. That took me about two weeks to unlock, after my last reward.
My next exciting workout reward to unlock aside Ary Nunez's Gotham Arts Workout 3000 mins, is the Dyanimc KettleBell Workout 3500 mins workout reward.
How long will it take me to get there?
If I pace myself and stay motivated by keeping my eyes on the prize, it shouldn't take me long. Maybe a month and a half tops.
A month does seem like a long time.
So, I currently have accumulated 2510 minutes, and I need 3500 to unlock Kettlebells. It doesn't seem that far, I am more than half way there.
My current stats:
I am 990 minutes away from 3500:
- I only need 33 (thirty three), 30 minutes workouts or
- 22 (twenty two), 45 minutes workouts.
So here's my breakdown on how I plan to get there.
- I can do 22 (twenty two), 45 minute workouts 3 times per week, or
- I can do 33 (thirty three), 30 minute workouts 3 times per week.
- To switch it up some days I'll add 15 minute focused workouts.
I'll keep y'all posted on my progress.
Have a great week!

Plane Crashes Outside of Findlay
FINDLAY (AP) — Authorities in northwest Ohio say two people have been killed in an overnight small plane crash.
The Hancock County sheriff's office says the crash apparently occurred at about 1 a.m. EDT Sunday. Investigators were still at the scene Sunday and little other information was available immediately.
The plane crashed near a county road just northeast of the city of Findlay. The city has a small general aviation airport, but authorities were still investigating where the plane was headed.
Names of the dead weren't released pending notification of family.

@@@@@ http://www.arin.net/arin_intro.html "For more than a year, there have been discussions[1] involving IANA (see IANA Statement), IETF, RIPE, APNIC, NSF and FNC concerning a proposal to manage IP number assignments separate and apart from the registration of Internet domain names. The stability of the Internet relies on the careful management of the IP addresses." "Recommendations[2] have also been made that the management of the IP space should be placed, as it is with RIPE and APNIC, under the control of and administered by those that depend upon and use it - the end users. Those end users include ISPs, corporate entities, universities, and individuals." @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1. Can some links be added to these discussions ? 2.

Are there any references on the ARIN web site to the AlterNIC ? http://www.alternic.net P.S. People might be interested that the InterNIC Scout claims that the reason the AlterNIC has never been mentioned in the Scout Report is because the readers are not interested in network topics.

Almost every newspaper in the UK today had a story about the failings of universities. A parliamentary inquiry, they said, had branded British universities as complacent, unwilling to justify their standards to outside scrutiny, unable to justify the facts that (eg) the proportion of firsts had risen significantly in the last decade or so.
As usual, if you actually look at the original report from which all this comes (rather than just the press release), the story is rather different. In this case, it is both better and worse than the newspaper reports make out.
Better? Well, the "Students and Universities" report of the House of Commons' Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee has some pretty harsh words for the government. It criticises the idea that more university places can be made available without extra funding. It queries the effect of so much emphasis on research output (writ in stone by the RAE). And it recommends that the government takes a hard look at school education before simply bashing the universities (the standard response to any question of aspiration, social mobility etc etc ). So far so good.
But there is worse in the small print.

Christian Taylor wins world triple jump title, earns honor
Christian Taylor, competing in his first world championships, jumped 58 feet, 11 ¼ inches, beat the defending champion and earned the triple jump title.
He is USA TODAY's Olympic Athlete of the Week.
At age 21, Taylor is the youngest triple jump world champion.
Defending champ Phillips Idowu from Britain finished second. Taylor's University of Florida teammate Will Claye took the bronze. The United States could be a double threat in the triple jump next summer at the London Olympics.
Other outstanding performance by U.S. athletes last week
Allyson Felix teamed up with Bianca Knight, Marshevet Myers and Carmelita Jeter to win the women's 4 x 100 relay. The USA won 25 medals at worlds - Felix and Jeter can claim six of them. Felix came away with four (gold in the 4x100 and 4 x 400 relays, silver in the women's 400 and bronze in the women's 200); Jeter won three (gold in the women's 100 and the 4 x 100 relay; silver in the women's 200).
Despite being blocked in by other runners, Bernard Lagat managed to get free and challenge Britain's Mo Farah in the final stretch of the men's 5,000. But Farah prevailed, winning in 13 minutes, 23.36 seconds. Lagat finished second, 0.28 seconds back. Ethiopia's Dejen Gebremeskel was third (13:23.92). Lagat is the first man to win three medals in the 5,000 at worlds. He won gold in 2007 and silver in 2009.
Long jumper Dwight Phillips sailed 27 feet, 8 ¾ inches for his fourth world title besting Australia's Mitchell Watt. Zimbabwe's Ngonidzashe Makusha was third.
Jenny Simpson won the women's 1,500 and LaShinda Demus won the women's 400 hurdles.
The second seeds won the 2011 U.S. Open of Beach Volleyball. Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Hanson won the women's final, defeating Jenny Kropp and Whitney Pavlik, 21-19, 21-17. And in the men's championship match, John Hyden and Sean Scott defeated Ty Loomis and Mark Williams, 21-17, 21-18.
"This feels great," Scott said after the win. "Ty (Loomis) and Mark (Williams) really took it to us yesterday so we knew we had to step up, serve tougher today. We were able to pull off the win today and I just feel really satisfied right now."

The Cornbread Gospels
When I think of my favorite sidedish, I can't help but think of cornbread. It's so yummy and crumbly, and has always been one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving (cranberry sauce tops the list). But with this recipe book, you'll learn that cornbread isn't just for Thanksgiving anymore. It is packed with over 200 recipes for cornbread variations - including muffins, pankcakes, and fritters. It also includes recipes for things to go with the cornbread staple - like salads and soups. MMmm good.

Development Methodologies
Filed under: Implementation
As a software developer there's a lot of change all the time. And it's not always technological in nature. While there are always some changes to platforms, a lot of time is taken up with project management, meetings, planning, documentation and general software development process. I often find myself ranting to co-workers about all the effort spent in chasing the latest fad in process methodologies, rather than 'just getting stuff done'.
I wonder whether all the time and effort spent on reading about, and attending conferences on the latest nuance of the scrum process, or even spending lots of money and time on tools like Rational Rose is justified. I have run some small software development teams, but can by no means claim any expertise in management, or even proven leadership. But I found simple common sense, determined leadership, and some motivated developers beat systematic, dogmatic process-following every time for any given team. Here's what I think is important:
- Motivated, responsible Senior Developers/Tech Leads – financial motivation, willingness to work overtime.
- Absolute minimum of scheduled meetings – daily status reports by email. Short bi-weekly meetings with senior managers.
- Sitting in an open office, to encourage ad-hoc communication, and occasional pair programming.
- Team-wide design reviews for major features, and 'one-pager' design documents for minor features.
- A manager should have more than 20 reports and work on more than one project.
- Strictly enforce code style guidelines, and code review process.
- Emphasize the minimization of lines of code vs. super-clean object-oriented design. Speed wins. Squeaky-clean, object-oriented, aesthetically pleasing code is usually outdated by the time it's actually done. (Don't get me wrong – some intelligent up-front design is vital, but should be kept 'up-front'.)
- Transparent performance management.
- Clear quarterly goals. If goals change, make sure they're documented properly and simply adapt – formal software development process not needed.
While all the software development processes certainly have a lot of good ideas, I would argue that strong leadership, and financial motivation are an order of magnitude more influential on the success of a project and should be the focus rather than following an arbitrary process.
Sudoku Solver
Filed under: Code, Implementation
Here's a little piece of code that I worked on today. A simple Constraint Satisfaction based Sudoku solver. Works for most real scenarios, but will loop forever for invalid configurations. This could be a great little interview question.
function cell(groups) { this.value = 0; this.groups = groups; for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) { groups[i].cells.push(this); } } cell.prototype.isAvailable = function(value) { var groups = this.groups; for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) { if (!groups[i].isAvailable(value)) { return false; } } return true; } function cellGroup() { this.cells = []; } cellGroup.prototype.isAvailable = function(value) { var cells = this.cells; for (var i = 0; i < cells.length; i++) { if (cells[i].value == value) { return false; } } return true; } function model() { this.rows = []; this.columns = []; this.blocks = []; this.cells = [] for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) { this.rows.push(new cellGroup()); this.columns.push(new cellGroup()); this.blocks.push(new cellGroup()); } for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) { this.cells.push([]); for (var j = 0; j < 9; j++) { this.cells[i].push(new cell([this.rows[i], this.columns[j], this.blocks[Math.floor(j / 3) + (Math.floor(i / 3) * 3)]])) } } } model.prototype.init = function(init_cells) { var cells = this.cells; for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) { var init_row = init_cells[i]; var row = cells[i]; for (var j = 0; j < 9; j++) { row[j].value = init_row[j]; } } } function solve(model) { var cells = model.cells; // go through each cell and try every value var count = 0; for (var i = 0; i < 9; i++) { var row = cells[i]; for (var j = 0; j < 9; j++) { var cell = row[j]; if (cell.value == 0) { var hasAvailable = false; for (var a = 1; a <= 9; a++) { if (cell.isAvailable(a)) { hasAvailable = true; cell.value = a; count++; if (solve(model)) { return true; } count--; cell.value = 0; } } if (!hasAvailable) { return false; } } else { count++; } } } window.console.log(count); return count == 81; } var sudoku = new model(); sudoku.init([ [6, 0, 0, 1, 0, 8, 2, 0, 3 ], [0, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 9, 0 ], [8, 0, 3, 0, 0, 5, 4, 0, 0 ], [5, 0, 4, 6, 0, 7, 0, 0, 9 ], [0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ], [7, 0, 0, 8, 0, 3, 1, 0, 2 ], [0, 0, 1, 7, 0, 0, 9, 0, 6 ], [0, 8, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2, 0 ], [3, 0, 2, 9, 0, 4, 0, 0, 5 ] ]); solve(sudoku);
Dependency Injection
Filed under: Design, Implementation
Test Driven Development has been around for a while – at it's code is the use of the Dependency Injection design pattern. Languages such as Java and C# have many tools and frameworks that make TDD easier and more robust. Guice comes to mind but of course there are others. For C++ without the native meta-programming facilities it take a bit more discipline to write proper test-driven code. However with a bit of practice you'll be writing cleaner, more bug-free code with no extra effort.
- Prefer composition over inheritance.
- All dependencies should be injected using the constructor.
- Header files should only define abstract interfaces and factories. This reduces header dependencies, and allows writing mock objects for writing white-box tests.
- Implementation files implement the interface using inline.
Pretty simple rules! Since I started using these, I've been getting stuff done fast and code quality has improved. This has had by far the highest impact on achieving results (more so than agile development practices, or arbitrary testing and coding guidelines.)
Here's a simple example. Lots of details are missing, but there should be just enough structure to purvey the right idea:
storage.h class Storage { public: virtual string WriteRecord(const Record& record) = 0; virtual void ReadRecord(const string& name, Record* record) = 0; }; frontend.h class Frontend { public: virtual void HandleRequest(const Request& request, IOBuffer* buffer) = 0; static Frontend* New(Storage* storage); }; frontend.cc class FrontentImpl : public Frontend { public: FrontendImpl(Storage* storage) : storage_(storage) {}; virtual void HandleRequest(const Request& request, IOBuffer* buffer) { if (request.method == "POST") { Record record; record.name = request.form['name']; record.phone = request.form['phone']; storage_->WriteRecord(record); } else if (request.method == "GET") { Record record; storage_->ReadRecord(request.query['name'], &record); record.Render(buffer); } request.Reply(); } private: Storage* storage_; }; Frontend* Frontend::New(Storate* storage) { return (Frontend*) new FrontendImpl(storage); } frontend_test.cc class MockStorage : public Storage { public: virtual string WriteRecord(const Record& record) { ASSERT(record.name = 'bob'); ASSERT(record.phone = '12345678'); } virtual void ReadRecord(const string& name, Record* record) { ... } }; void TestFrontend() { MockStorage storage; Frontend* frontend = Frontend::New(&storage); Request request; Buffer buffer; request.method = "POST"; request.form['name'] = 'bob'; request.form['phone'] = '12356789'; frontend->HandleRequest(request, &buffer); ASSERT(buffer.find('200')); ... }
Certainly not rocket-science, but if you're tired of always following the latest fad in software development, this will always bring back sanity to your code.
C++ Collections
Filed under: Code, Implementation
One of my pet-peeves of the C++ programming world is the lack of a standard collection construct that makes sense. Arrays, lists, and maps are some of the most-used and most important structures used in programming, and all modern languages actually have given a lot of thought to such matters. In C++ we're stuck with STL. Now, STL certainly works, and it's widely adopted, but the way in which it only works well with value types, and not reference types it a major pain. One of the main advantages that C++ has is that the programmer can make decisions on how and when to allocate memory, thus making programs light-weight and self-contained. When using STL though, adding values to a collection results in a deep copy, putting extra burden on the memory management, and the developer for making sure that all their types are copy-able. Constructing a simple array of a type that does not have a copy constructor defined does not work. STL insists on using the copying to initialize it's elements based on a template. If there was a way to create new elements in the collection without copying some initial value that would make STL about 80% more useable. Of course attention would have to be paid for simple type elements that are not initialized by default, some that could probably be handled by a decent C++ programmer. If not better use Java or C#.
With Facebook and Google being in the spotlight about various privacy matters – intentional and otherwise most people have probably given some thought to where they stand on these issues. There seem to be two extremes – make people op-in to everything whether that's taking a picture of your street, or publishing you list of friends, or on the other side of the argument – if you have nothing to hide why worry (or move if you don't want streetview to take a picture of your house, or change your name, e.t.c.) Most people fall somewhere in between I would imagine.Both Facebook and Google like to ressure people that they are doing their best and the people who are worried are basically paranoid. Both have some very valuable, and highly private data in their servers, and I thought I'd try to list some scenarios of what could happen. for either of these companies (I like to pick on Google and Facebook but there are certainly other companies out there with sensitive data – Yahoo, Visa, the Government, Employers, Hospitals, e.t.c. which are not currently under scrutiny about their practices but probably should be.)
The thing that scares me most about Facebook is that it is such a strong identification of yourself. There may be a time where FB or some other social network becomes your primary identification for anything from payment to travel, to employment purposes. Anonymity and to a certain extent privacy on the internet will be a thing of the past.
Google has a lot of sensitive information on people mostly from the search engine but also the ads networks, youtube, Gmail. I'm not worries that this data will ever be exposed intentionally (except maybe to the Government.) Some of this data is likely being processed and exposed in aggregate through tools such as search trends, search itself, and ad-related targeting algorithms. It is thinkable that given a good understanding of statistics and number theory a hacker could potentially exploit unintentional weaknesses in the processed data. Then there's streetview, and the geo product in general that some find intrusive. I don't find it intrusive in it's current form, but as people can publish their own pictures, and videos for anyone to see — now that is scary. Google, Bing, Yahoo maps provide a very powerful platform for others to discover pictures.In the end, the data that Google has on people is not as structured and authoritative as what Facebook has. If Facebook continues on it's current trajectory, it will easily catch-up with Google in terms of volume and breadth of data, and will become the ultimate '1984 platform'.
Data Serialization Tools
Filed under: Implementation
Virtually everyone who codes for a living gets into contact with serializing and deserializing data for transmission or storage. This affects virtually all platforms whether you're writing device drivers, or web sites. The serialization could be a simple encoding for some structured data into a cookie or a url, or it could be full-fledged, optimized serialization for tcp transmission or storage on disk. Here is a list of the available tools and frameworks that I know about with their pros and cons:
Code-Generation tools
These tools generate code based on an input specification of a datastructure that is to be serialized. These tools vary in their efficiency and may have cross-platform implementations. These are generally the most efficient way to go about serializing data as all the repetitive boiler-plate code is taken care of and plenty of tools are client libraries for different platforms are available.
- Thrift – Apache project, open-source. Generates optimised serialization code in multiple languages. Used by Facebook among others
- Protobuffer – The Google version of Thrift. Lean-and-mean.
- COM IDL – Old-school Microsoft COM. Enough said. Not providing a link here.
Language-specific Frameworks
Serialization is basically built-in to these languages, making it easy, clean and intutive to transmit and store data on disk. Platform compatibility, and performance is a secodary goal for most of these mechanisms though.
- .net WCF
- Java serialization
- Interpreted languages: Pytho, Javascript.
Standards are one way to serialize data by. Rather than a tool or a language this is a set of rules and specifications to ensure cross-platform compatibility. Plenty of libraries are available to make using these standards quick and easy. Standards are highly encouraged when building servers for a large variety of different clients. However, for single applications or software systems enforcing standards is usually not worth the time or money.

Dynamo manager Dominic Kinnear was excited to have his squad back on the field for the opening of pre-season today.
Here are a few quotes from the head man:
"It was good to get back together. For me there is no better place to be then on the field. Everyone is excited and the attitude was excellent."
"We try to get as many games as possible. We have roster spots to fill. Our pre-season is six to eight weeks. The first week we play the Academy team, HBU and San Jacinto. If guys struggle against them it makes it easier."
"It was big money we were throwing at him. We tried our hardest, it's frustrating."
The Dynamo also have in camp Darryl Roberts from Trinidad and Tobago, 26, a striker that is on trial through their trip in pre-season to LA. Roberts has played in both the Netherlands and in Turkey.
He went to Liberty College, has represented T&T and started at Sparta Rotterdam in Holland where he scored 13 goals in 34 games. He then went to Denilzispor in Turkey where he struck 28 times in 80 games.
Prior to these clubs he was a member of the Carolina Dynamo.
Dominic Kinnear has recently been down in Honduras taking in Motagua against Real Espana . This was reported in the Honduran press the Dynamo still seem linked to Oscar Boniek Garcia a wide midfield player.
The Dynamo also had interest and contact with former UNAM Pumas and Mexican International Pablo Barrerra but were not able to strike a deal despite their interest. Barrerra likely would have come at a high cost as he is currently on loan at Zaragoza on loan from West Ham United.
Fans should also realize that the Dynamo are compromised of two ownership groups and both I assume likely will have to sign off on any player acquisitions. One group may be all for a deal but it could get shot down by the other.

Subject: [htdig] pdf parser problem under NT 4.0
From: Stein, Thomas (AGLW) (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Tue Jan 25 2000 - 04:21:10 PST
I try to get the pdf parser to work under NT and I don't get it to work. In
my htdig.conf I have included the following line (as it couldn't find its
parser under /usr/...), does that make any sense ? I have checked the htdig
archives and documentation but couldn't find the right hint.
pdf_parser: /program/acrobat/reader/acrord32.exe -toPostScript -pairs
Max doc size has been set to exceeding the biggest document size.
max_doc_size: 6000000
What happens is that it seems to read the file and after a few seconds an
acrobat program window pops up (?) with the file title something like
'htdig1234.pdf' and shortly afterwards a message saying 'There was an error
opening this document. The file does not exist'.
After closing the acrobat reader window htdig continues to dig.
Any idea would be appreciated.
