br> Russell Martin and Blake DeWitt double in the second for the first Los Angeles Run and Juan Pierre double home Chin-Lung Hu in the seventh.
Note-- We will take Easter Sunday off, with the Dodgers playing the Rockies in Tucson, and will get the coverage on the web Monday morning before the Dodgers meet Kansas City in Surprise for a night game.
Martin, who seems to be breaking out of the slump that saw his average fall into the low .100s, doubled to right center in the second for the first Dodger hit.
Rookie Blake DeWitt, improbably bidding for the starting job at third base, a thought that was never on anyone's mind when spring training started, doubled inside the foul line down the right field corner to drive in Martin.
He neglected to pick up third base coach Larry Bowa and, unsure if he could stretch the hit into a triple, hesitated rounding second base, then returned to the bag. Bowa, the club's "enforcer", pointed out his mistake. Then, embarrassingly, DeWitt was picked off second base.
The two mistakes might be costly in his battle for a starting spot.
A pair of fine plays helped Lowe out of the fourth inning. DeWitt made a back-handed stop of a hot shot to open the inning and Tony Abreu went behind second for a grounder and threw across his body to end the inning, leaving runners at first and third
Abreu made it two in a row, making a sliding stop and throw to nail Howie Kendrick to open the fifth. Then went to the shortstop side of the bag and threw out Erick Aybar to end the inning.
In the last of the fifth, the Dodgers ran the bases like ...well...like the Dodgers.
With Lowe on second and Furcal on first with singles, Ethier hit a sharp one-hopper to Aybar at short. He threw for a force at second and Kendricks noticed Lowe wandering around halfway to third and quickly threw him out at third to end the inning on a 6-4-5 double play.
Bowa could do nothing but shake his head as he ran back to the dugout.
Furcal made a great stop behind the second base bag on a ground ball by Chone Figgins in the top of the sixth but nearly threw the ball into the dugout.
Figgins scored with two out when Gary Matthews lobbed a single into short left to tie the game.
Takashi Saito came in to pitch the seventh and allowed a bunt single and a long home run by catcher Mike Napoli to give the Angeles their first lead and a one-out double.
A sharp grounder down the first base line saw James Loney make a good stop on to save a double. Saito was late covering and to add insult to injury, the runner scored from second.
Suddenly trailing 4-1, Chin-Lung Hu, who replaced DeWitt at third, beat out an infield hit to open the bottom of the seventh.
However, Abreu and pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney bounced out before Juan Pierre slapped a double down the left field line to dive in Hu.
Ramon Troncoso, Mike Myers and -- Asadoorian shut the door after Saito but over the final five innings, the Dodgers managed only Pierre's double in the seventh inning before Ramon Martinez and Matt Kemp singled with two out in the ninth.
The Angels improved to 16-7-2 and the Dodgers dropped to 9-15-2.
Chad Billingsley will start today against Colorado in Tucson. Esteban Loaiza is also scheduled to see action.

Att- 9,615.Roster Moves
The Dodgers will make some important roster moves on Monday,
Old Rivals
Before the game, the Angeles had won seven of the last eight games between the two clubs, and held a 54-43-1 edge over the Dodgers as they moved into the first meeting between the two teams outside California.
Under Mike Scioscia, the one-time heir-apparent to the Dodgers managerial job, the Angels have a 30-18 record. Anaheim has son three division titles in the last four seasons under "Iron Mike", who, entering his ninth season, is the longest tenured manager in the American League.
The two clubs will meet March 17 in Anaheim and then on May 16-18 in Anaheim and June 27-29 in Los Angeles when the games really count.
Inflation hits Phoenix
Tickets were selling for $200 for the opening game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox. The Dodgers move to the Valley indicate the Cubs will have trouble retaining their title as the area's most Cactus League team.
"Vero Beach was magical, but I'm thrilled they're out here," said Bo Pollard, 48, a lifelong Dodgers' fan who lives in Lake Tahoe, Nev. "It's probably 20 years overdue."
People forget, but this was a Dodger town long before the Diamondbacks moved in. Dodger games were on local radio from the late 1960s until 1993.
"We've wanted them for a long time," Cactus League president J.P. de la Montaigne said. "They were the one western team we didn't have. They'll be a perfect fit in Glendale."
But newbie's from the Grapefruit League will find both ticket prices and accommodations much more expensive.
Schmidt' Progress Slow
Jason Schmidt's recovery from shoulder surgery is moving like the Brockmeister glacier. He is not throwing off a mound and is not expected to be pitching until May or June, according to manager Joe Torre.
Schmidt said he's "definitely progressing. The more I throw, the better. I'm taking less time off between throwing."
He continues long tossing and occasionally tosses off a mound, but he has not thrown a bullpen session since Feb. 26.
Switch Means Shorter Trips
The Dodgers move to the Cactus League will be a move to a more convenient world.
"Shorter trips," Dodgers infielder Mark Sweeney told Tony Jackson of the LA Daily News. "It has better facilities that are closer together, so you can do a lot more stuff. These two-hour trips in Florida waste a whole day. In Arizona, you can play a (road) game and then go back to your own complex and work out, and it's no big deal."
Of the dozen teams now training in Arizona, all but three are concentrated in the Phoenix area, and the White Sox plan to move up from Tucson to join the Dodgers in a two-team complex expected to open next spring in Glendale.
That will leave only Arizona and Colorado in Tucson, two hours away, so the Dodgers won't have to make that trip more than twice a year.
"Another thing, from a baseball standpoint, is that you get to play a lot more teams," said Dodgers trainer Stan Conte, who spent 15 springs in Scottsdale as a member of the San Francisco Giants' medical staff. "In Florida, because of the distance between the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast, you don't play as many teams, and it seems like you're playing the same teams over and over."
"I like the weather in Florida better, but I like Arizona better as far as travel," said Dodgers bench coach Bob Schaefer, who coached for Oakland and Kansas City, both of whom train in the Cactus League. "You can take batting practice at home and then go to another park and play a game."
Dodger Blue Notes-- Before the game, L.A. was 4-0-1 against American League teams during the spring. However, the Angels put a stop to that. ...Andrew Jones' home runs Friday against Arizona ran the Dodgers streak to 15 consecutive games, during which the club hit 25 dingers. The team's 31 homers ranks first in the National League and third overall, behind Detroit (35) and Cleveland (34) overall. ...Andre Ethier's five home runs is first in the the N.L. (tied with Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard and Chris Snyder). Matt Kemp tops the league with 17 runs batted in and Rafael Furcal's five triples top the list.

Wow... Milly is incredible! 2017 newcomer of the year right here y'all!
Hottie Boombalottie
Featuring: Milly Marks
Date: January 7th, 2017
Photos: 50
This is a Milly Marks takeover. We offer no resistance, for resistance is futile against a beautiful hottie like her. In fact, SCORE's head honcho said, "Schedule another Milly scene ASAP!" Milly rocks a sheer body suit that's seriously strained under those magnificent 36HH bra-busters--pale with wide, prominent areolas. Milly can self-suck her own nipples, a rare talent that's hard to see, even at SCORELAND or XL Girls. "Talent? Well, I'm really good at bringing all of the groceries into the house in one trip," joked Milly, who's also talented at shooting out funny zingers. She has a good sense of humor. "I used to play flag football for fun. I wasn't good at it but it kept me active. It's a big thing in the little town I grew up in. Now I'm scared to join a sport because I don't want to get hit in the face with my giant boobs." Milly said her most-fun job was as a nanny.

Market research has shown that the amount of revenue made by customers who regularly visit any franchise is much more than the revenue collected if the same number of new customers shopped there. This showed a definite pattern that if the customers returns to a shop he is confident that he will get good service and quality products. This mentality makes him buy more and thus earn more profit for the shop. Other than that, frequent customers help attract others by personally recommending the business to their friends and family. To maintain a customer base, loyalty cards can be helpful.
Loyalty cards are a recent trend in marketing to solidify a loyal customer base. This system helps garner attention to your brand as well as maintaining old customers, enticing them to come back. Loyalty programs provide rewards in the forms of discounts, sales, and other perks for frequent customers. Information is collected from these customers and they are issued specific cards which have their info printed on them. On every visit or use of these cards, they are updated and points are collected, this data is kept by both the business and the customer. Once a certain level is reached, the customer can cash in on these points collected and use the offers available to him. It is an efficient system which allows you maintain data on customers for advertisements encourages customers to return and builds a special bond between the business and its customers.
Loyalty stamp cards can easily be stored in your mobile wallets allowing you access and usage at all times. The loyalty cards stored can easily be used at the shop to keep a record of your visits and allow you to utilize it to gain your gift or perk. This allows you freedom to keep all loyalty cards in your phone instead of carrying them around. It also adds benefits to the employer who obtains a more efficient system of rewarding points and maintaining records. Moreover it saves a lot of money on printing and publishing such cards as online options are cheaper and much more convenient.
Passbeemedia allows you to create unique loyalty cards which can be created from scratch and sent through a multitude of platforms. Creating loyalty passes is an easy process using passbeemedia. It consists of a number simple steps:
Choosing a plan:
Passbeemedia offers various plans from which you choose one that suits your business needs. It also offers a free trial to try before you buy.
Online card creator:
The online loyalty card can be chosen from a variety of templates given or created from scratch. You have the liberty to choose from a wide spectrum of colors and style for the card's background and the text. The image and brand logo can also be set up so that the card is recognizable. The front of the card contains other vital information for the card.
Like the front of the card, the back holds additional information and may include links to the company's website which allows you to browse and purchase using just your mobile wallets.
Card distribution:
Finally when your card is ready distribute it using email, sms and social media. This allows a multi ranged coverage and helps attract customers to your business.
Also offering location based services, passbeemedia remind customers about their loyalty tickets whenever they are close to your business using gps fencing and ibeacons thus utilizing both GPS and Bluetooth technology to send push notifications which appear on the customer's home screen. This increases the chances of utilization of the card and helps garner more support for the business.

She decided she was not ready for a relationship, and needed to figure some stuff out on her own. We both took a step back from each other and took a break. Now her and I are "friends" but we are still flirty and she expresses how she still cares for me and wants to be updated on my life. My hope is that us being friends is taking things slower, and may lead to commitment down the line. But is this plan of action wise? Will this work out? The word "friends" may mean different things to the both of us, im just not sure...
Most Helpful Girl
Depends on the fling. My ex hates me (not my fault I believe), 3 of my 4 one night stands are still friends of mine and we're even closer than before although one is about to become a 2 nights stand. 1 was crazy, a mistake, we wouldn't have become friends anyways. My former friends with benefits kinda raped me and said I hurt his feelings by telling him I was not okay with that. So that's tense now. We're still "friends" due to mutual friends and activities, but we don't talk or meet in private at all anymore.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
It could work if you play your cards right. You shouldn't shut her out, or "ghost" her, but don't open up too much. I've noticed that when people want to stay updated about your life but don't want a relationship, they eventually find out that they're happy with a friendship.
To avoid this, slowly back away. Don't update her on everything. Maybe try dating someone else as well. There's a chance she may never want to get back together.
My second to last ex did that. I took 5 steps back. It bothered her that I was so aloof. Eventually she asked me if I had a girlfriend. I told her I was talking to someone, since she wasn't interested and I could stick around forever. We got together - needless to say, I wish I had asked the other girl out.11|00|0

Keeping your workplace thoroughly clean is vital, yet hardly any staff members give business office cleaning sufficient imagined. Several office workers think that somebody else will tidy up soon after them, however many office buildings do not have cleansing employees in to do their job each day. In order to keep your working environment tidy between cleaning up appointments, you must adhere to the following:
Thoroughly clean immediately good cleaners
- If you find that your working environment is.
- Select a doormat.
Should you by accident make a mess, make a plan as quickly as possible to rectify the problem. For instance, when you placed a espresso cup on a kitchen table, plus it results in a caffeine ring, wipe the liquefied up instantly. It will not only avoid yellowing, but it will also prevent somebody else from by accident getting a vital record downward on the outside, and obtaining it covered with coffee. Also, cleanup foods crumbs immediately, as even a few hours on to the ground may be ample so they can encourage pest infestations.
Motivate employees to arrange their paperwork
Employees to arrange
Employees ought to be promotes to arrange their paperwork appropriately. Not only will this improve their output amounts (since they will not need to spend so long in search of issues), but it will help to create your office look tidier. If paperwork are merely strewn all around aimlessly, it is quite feasible for essential documents to go lacking.
Purchase a doormat
Many places use a doormat because of their company company logo upon it. It will not only look professional, but it will help to help make business office cleaning less difficult. If folks are able to clean their ft in the way into the workplace, they are going to not drag drinking water and soil by way of the remainder of the developing. It is much simpler to get rid of dirt and grime coming from a specially designed doormat, than it is to take out these substances from a rich workplace rug. maid Services
Change your cleaning up plan
If you inadvertently make a chaos, take measures at the earliest opportunity to resolve the issue. By way of example, if you set a caffeine cup onto a table, and it simply leaves a gourmet coffee diamond ring, wipe the liquefied up immediately. This will not only protect against yellowing, but it will likewise prevent another person from unintentionally putting an essential record downward on top, and having it engrossed in coffee. Also, clean up food crumbs immediately, as even several hours on to the ground might be ample to enable them to inspire unwanted pests.

Promote employees to arrange
Staff members needs to be encourages to arrange their papers correctly. Not only will this increase their productiveness ranges (simply because they will not have to invest as long searching for issues), but it will help to make work appear tidier. If papers are simply strewn around haphazardly, it is very easy for essential files to visit missing.
Invest in a doormat
If you find that your business has become quite messy, rapidly, you may want to take into account changing the cleaning up schedule, that it is more consistent with your preferences. This may not really ought to mean employing the cleaners to get a higher number of time. A lot more typical washing will often suggest that the more clean lacks to attend for so long whenever. As an example, in the event the cleaner was formerly appointed to visit for a couple of.5 hrs per program, for 3 trainings weekly, you could possibly modify this plan to 1.5 time every program, for 5 trainings per week.
- Employees needs to be encourages to organise their documents correctly. It will not only.
- Purchase a doormat.
- Many places use a doormat making use of their organization company logo upon it. Not only will this.

Thune suggests Keystone XL approval could be linked to national debt ceiling
MITCHELL, S.D. — Congressional Republicans might try to stall an increase in the nation's debt ceiling until the Obama administration clears the way for construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, Sen. John Thune told reporters Wednesday.
"There are some things Republicans would like to see happen," said Thune, a South Dakota Republican. "It could be approval of the Keystone pipeline. That's something we think has a real impact on the economy."
A budget deal that received final congressional approval Wednesday could hold off a debt ceiling fight until February, or possibly later depending on revenue coming into the treasury, but Thune said Republicans are preparing for the inevitable 2014 partisan fight.
The controversial pipeline would run from Canada, through South Dakota and to the Gulf of Mexico. Environmentalists have vocally opposed the project as a threat to the global climate while Republicans and others champion it for the jobs its construction would create.
Republican leaders have not settled on the Keystone XL plan, as they plan to gather in January in a retreat to map out a strategy, according to national reports.
Thune said other issues are also on the table.
"As we head into the next year, you will start hearing a robust discussion of what those things might be," he said.
He said tax reform and changes to Social Security and Medicare, preferably as part of a completed federal budget, are also top contenders.
"If a budget process gets underway next year, it could include tax and entitlement reforms," Thune said. "That would be a good thing, and it could move as part of a debt ceiling increase."
Democrats are quoted in national reports as saying they do not intend to negotiate at all with Republicans over the debt ceiling and noted that the GOP's reputation suffered the last time it tried to force a deal.
Meanwhile, Thune panned the budget deal that passed the Senate on Wednesday, saying it allowed for too much spending. He said the so-called sequestration budget cuts that hit in 2011 have done their job, but he agrees some fixes are needed.
"That reduced overall federal spending two years in a row for the first time since the 1950s. It has had the desired effect," Thune said.
However, he would favor easing some of the sequestration rules.
"There is a better way to do this, to follow the law but to give federal agencies more flexibility so they could move money around and prioritize better," he said.

The Shuriken of Serpents were weapons of an unknown origin. The Mantis indicated a possible origin in the Ivory Kingdoms. They were used by members of the Unicorn Clan, who claimed that they were originally taken from the bodies of failed assassins sent to kill Unicorn Clan leaders. When thrown they would turn from regular, if strange looking, shuriken into a tangled mass of snakes that would bite its target. The shuriken could also sometimes bounce to other adjacent targets, before finally shatters when hitting the ground. [1]

Soft Break Cakes
Recipe by Podkayne
Adapted from "Classic Vegetarian Cuisine" by Rosemary Moon. Whole wheat, and fast to make. Make 6 if you'd like to use them as sandwich rolls, or make 8 if you'd like smaller dinner rolls. Cook time includes resting time.
Top Review by DuChick
We really liked these! Much like a biscuit or a sandwich roll, we enjoyed these alongside our steak dinner tonight. Tomorrow, one of these little cakes will make for a great sandwich in my lunchbox. I did have to add about 1/4 cup more flour in order to knead the dough. It was just too sticky. I loved that this recipe doesn't require rolling and cutting. Easy and healthy! Thanks for sharing!

BIRKENHEAD Ladies FC has had their best season in the Northwest Women's Regional Football League winning promotion to the Premier division.
The 2013/14 season has seen an undefeated Birkenhead Ladies become proud winners of Division One South.
The final league game ended in a 5-0 victory by the champions.
Nadine Sword scored a remarkable four goals with Charlotte Cloy scoring the other.
Birkenhead, formerly Wirral Ladies Football Club, have been playing in the Northwest Regional Football League for 20 years.
Over the past 12 years, the women's team have been able to sustain their league position due to the development of the girls' section, which this season has seen an influx of young players coming through the ranks into the women's team.
The squad of 20 has a balance of youth and more experienced players, which they say has been fundamental to the season so far.
Now the league is secured, their next task is to focus on the League Plate; the team are in the quarter-finals, which will be played next Sunday April. 6.
Looking forward to next season, Birkenhead is aiming to expand further for youth players with an under-18 girls' development team.
The club is also aiming to start over with a young team (underten girls), which will be run by qualified Coach Chelsey Hodgin, a senior who started with the club as a young player.
Squad: Shauna Murphy; Megan Jones; Emma Jones; Kate Anderson; Laura O'Brien; Alison Egan; Amy Smith; Amy Doherty; Chelsey Hodgin; Sarah Christmas; Joanne Day; Rebecca Swan; Georgia Fairclough; Leah Dooley; Chloe Forshaw; Charlotte Cloy; Emma Thomson; Lucy Carlin; Emma O'Looney; Nadine Sword

So I pushed out Adobe Flash via a GPO and I have 5 computers that don't show they have the update. I manually verified they do.
I started poking around and Spiceworks shows a scan failure (username or firewall blah blah).
I verified

Firewall Service Disabled
Scan is running as a local admin on the machine
I can ping the computer from the SW server
I can manage the computer from the SW server
The A/V policy is the same as my other users
I rebuilt WMI, by running (the user has not rebooted yet)

The scan still fails
The only other thing I noticed was someone put Malwarebytes on the computer and didn't remove it. I am not sure if that would affect it.
Any other ideas?

Also scans I have noticed may take a few to get a software installation to post. Dunno why but if it's a scan failure I would try above.

The bacterium induces responses in the animal that it is infecting and this is what typically causes the symptoms rather than any direct toxin produced. Symptoms are usually gastrointestinal including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea with mucus. Headache, fatigue and rose spots are also possible. These symptoms can be severe especially in young children and the elderly. Symptoms last generally up to a week, and can appear 12 to 72 hours after bacterium ingestion.
In short Vomiting and abdominal cramps with complications from dehydration.

Directed by Eric Valette
Distributed by Warner Home Entertainment
Since remakes are a trend that will not go away, we're going to have to deal with them. That's just the cold hard reality of the situation. Yet, I've often wondered — Why don't people remake movies that suck? Leave the classics alone, man; there are plenty of duds out there that could use another shot! Here we have the results of just such an experiment. The original One Missed Call was for all intents and purposes a really awful flick that made little to no sense at all. Could this tale finally be done some justice in an American remake?
To get the answer, another trend would have to come to light first. J-horror has pretty much run its course, and now France is where the really promising horror flicks are coming from. So I guess Hollywood has decided that they need to cull this French talent and have them make American remakes of Japanese films. *blank stare* In any event, the next guy up to bat? Maléfique (review here) director Eric Valette! Before we get into how everything turned out (and BOY is this one a doozy), let's dig on the plot, shall we?
Beth (Sossamon) is your ordinary twenty-something with everyday problems. That is until one by one her friends start getting phone calls from dead people. Once a person dies, an evil entity somehow manages to call someone in said victim's cell phone address book. The call is stamped with the date and time of the next person's demise, which is usually a couple of days into the future. Even spookier, the upcoming victims get to hear what it will sound like when they croak. This goes on in a chain until it finally gets to our heroine. Luckily for Beth, one of the victims happened to be the sister of a detective (Burns), and together the two of them set out to solve this ensuing mystery.
So! Is it worth watching? Let me put it like this … One Missed Call is the break-away comedy hit of 2008! There were parts of this flick that were so overtly absurd I had tears rolling down my face from laughing too hard! Prepare to be shocked by the near indescribable "Exorcism Performed on a Cell Phone" scene! Gaze in horror as ethnicity itself is defied as Beth's character goes from little Latina girl to grown-up white chick! Steady! Steady yourself! Do you think that your nerves can handle an asthma inhaler jump-scare? This stuff really has to be seen to be believed! Most of the flick's fright factor comes right out of the R.L. Stein playbook! It's as if Valette just wanted to make a movie about filling the screen with strange grinning creatures that are only there to say "Boo!" In fact, I'd hazard to say that if R.L. Stein ever made a movie, this would have been his Raiders of the Lost Ark!
And there's more than just ridiculous visuals to feast upon as One Missed Call's script delivers some of the biggest guffaws of the decade! I'm talking stuff like Ray Wise pleading for his film crew to "Make sure Jesus is centered"! Stuff like detective Andrews wondering aloud "There's no way she could have given Ellie asthma, is there?" Ponder that last bit of writing for a moment, will you? This dude's a detective. On what planet is asthma a communicable disease? But we're still not done! There is one other important lesson to be learned here, guys, and that is if you're in a building and it's burning down, you need to go and hide in a crawlspace! Remember, kids — Fire can't burn you if it can't find you! You just have to laugh, and laugh you will!
That's it! I cannot stand it! Surely there is a treasure trove of supplemental material to dive into! What could the folks behind this slice of cinematic brilliance have to say for themselves? Sadly, we'll never find out as this DVD is as barebones as barebones releases get. There's not even a trailer! I'm willing to bet they made this a flipper disc (widescreen on one side, fullscreen on the other) just so no one would have to come up with artwork for the DVD itself! Oh well!
I have to say it. This flick sucks, but wow, was it fun to watch. Riddled with scares that only a ten-year-old may find effective, One Missed Call is proof positive that even a remake of a bad film can turn out to be just as totally pointless … yet strangely amusing!

Encounter with Robert Patrick Modell Edit
Todd was shocked to see Modell, whom he had just seen on the television. Todd grabbed a baseball bat to fend off Modell, but Modell used his persuasion ability to convince Todd that he was holding a timber rattler. Modell then had Todd provide him with new clothes before sending him out in the street. Fox Mulder found Todd wandering in the street wearing Modell's prison clothes, saying that Modell "had to go."

U.S. defense contractor fined for trouncing software to China
Add to

July 4, 2012
A top-level U.S. defense contractor has been fined no less than $75 million for trouncing software to China that was a critical component in the country's first attack helicopter.
United Technologies and its two subsidiaries Pratt & Whitney Canada and Hamilton Sundstrand have both confessed to more than 500 violations of secret technology export restrictions in a federal court.
The violations involve engine control software without which China could not have completed the development of its Z-10 attack helicopter, a battlefield-ready aircraft capable of carrying 30 mm cannons, anti-tank guided missiles, air-to-air missiles and unguided rockets.
According to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division which carried out the investigation, Pratt & Whitney turned a blind eye to the potential military utilization of the software in hope of securing a lucrative contract for civilian helicopters from China, a $2 billion transaction that never appeared on its books.
Pratt & Whitney had previously sold to China ten commercial development engines that didn't require export licenses. But the company then wilfully followed that up with electronic engine control software made by Hamilton Sundstrand and modified it for use in a military helicopter, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division said.
The export of defense articles and associated technical data has been banned by the United States since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
The companies did themselves no favors by failing to disclose the illegal exports for several years and then making numerous false statements to the U.S. State Department.
"Pratt & Whitney Canada exported controlled U.S. technology to China, knowing full well it would be used in the development of a military attack helicopter, and in direct violation of the U.S. arms embargo with China," said U.S. Attorney David Fein.
"Pratt & Whitney Canada took what it described internally as a calculated risk, because it wanted to become the exclusive supplier for a civil helicopter market in China with projected revenues of up to $2 billion. Several years after the violations were discovered, United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Hamilton Sundstrand disclosed the violations to the U.S. government and made false statements in doing so."
United Technologies CEO and chairman Louis Chęnevert issued the following statement "Export controls are an integral part of safeguarding U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. As a supplier of controlled products and technologies to the Department of Defense and other domestic and international customers, we are committed to conducting business in full compliance with all export laws and regulations. We accept responsibility for these past violations and we deeply regret they occurred."
The fine, $20 million of which can be used by United Technologies towards a compliance program, is unlikely to financially affect a company with revenues exceeding $50 billion, but the case will be a huge embarrassment to the United States, nevertheless.
Politicians and various military officials had been increasingly vocal in their criticism of China's state-sponsored cyber espionage activities, much of which is directed at stealing military intelligence from the private sector simply by selling restricted technology.
China's rapid rise to success in the military segment will soon see it take on America's crown as preeminent global superpower and in the end it is this new economic reality, and incidents like this which it gives rise to, which could yet prove the biggest threat to U.S. supremacy in the military.

Six individuals, including three IT executives have been arrested in Tokyo in connection with an Android malware scam which netted the group over US $245,000.
Japan's first arrests for the crime of distributing a smartphone virus came after 9,200 people downloaded malware disguised as an application designed to play videos, according to the Daily Yomiuri.
The six men, which are also being investigated on suspicion of developing the virus, decided to distribute it on an adult website they created, presumably luring victims into paying with the promise of being able to view video content.
Once downloaded onto a user's phone, the app displayed a message demanding payment of US $1,100 with the notice continuing to be displayed even when the victim tried to turn the device off.
The group also allegedly nicked personal data from the phone including contact information from the address book, and stored it on a server overseas, the report added.
The news highlights the continued threat to Android-based smartphones, one which becomes more alarming for IT managers given that many such devices are being used to access corporate networks as part of BYOD initiatives.
Tokyo-headquartered security vendor Trend Micro said that Android malware actually grew by a huge 1410 percent in the first half of last year.
Although only a very small percentage of the approximately 410,000 apps on Google Play are likely to be harmful, internet security professionals usually recommend users to avoid third party app stores and other sites where malware is more likely to lurk.
The Chinese government has even been forced to voice some concerns about security issues in mobile app stores owned by state-run operators China Mobile and China Telecom.

An internet security vulnerability in some F5 equipment first announced in February may be in the wild, with insecure code posted to Github purporting to be a security exploit.
The original advisory stated that vulnerable installations of F5's BigIP and other systems allowed an attacker to log in as root, because the security vulnerability exposed the device's SSH private key.
F5 responded to this twelve days ago, but since it's only seven days since F5 issued its advisory – and the patch – it's likely that unpatched systems still exist out in the wild.
F5 describes the issue as "A platform-specific remote access vulnerability that has been discovered that could allow a remote attacker to gain privileged access to compromised systems using SSH.
The security vulnerability is caused by a configuration error, and isn't the result of an underlying SSH defect."
Exploit code has been posted to Github. That code purports to gain remote access to some of the affected F5 systems-– its BigIP devices.
The security vulnerability can be addressed either by users upgrading to a non-vulnerable version, or reconfiguring SSH access. We are still awaiting an update from F5. We will keep you posted.

Internet security experts are warning multinational firms with offices in Hong Kong that they are not immune at all to cyber attacks originating from China, despite the apparent shared sovereignty between the Special Administrative Region (SAR) and its mainland parent. This isn't the first time that Hong Kong has been advised to take precautions when it comes to its cyber security.
In the past, the Chinese government has often been blamed for either officially sanctioning cyber espionage attacks on foreign countries, as well as private and public organizations, or just simply turning a blind eye to financially motivated or patriotic attacks on western companies and states launched from within China.
Some internet security experts strongly believe that there is an unwritten agreement between the chinese hacking community and the authorities that these activities can continue as long as no government organizations or firms operating in China are directly affected.
But experts in the SAR have said multinationals appear to be fair game for Chinese hackers. Roy Ko, center manager of the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team (HKCERT) says that his team works closely with its Chinese counterpart to pinpoint the exact location of attacks on local companies.
"Hong Kong's overall immunity depends on our capabilities to defend ourselves, not because we're part of China," he argued. "We have a good communications channel in place with China's CERT organization, so when the internet attacks come from China, we can seek their help and advice fairly quickly."
To be sure, Ian Christofis, an acting manager for Verizon Wireless in North Asia, recently said that multinationals on the mainland were worried about intellectual property theft from malicious insiders and said that Hong Kong companies were equally in the crosshairs as well.
"On any given day, Hong Kong is just as much a target as anywhere else. Hong Kong companies should not be complacent," he added.
And for his part, Guido Crucq, general manager of internet security solutions at Asia Pacific for data systems integrator Dimension Data, agreed strongly with that notion.
"Today, cybercriminals are into hacking for the big money, so we advised our clients that we can't let our guard down simply because we are doing business in a location which we consider as friendly territory," he said.
But lawmaker Samson Tam, who is a legislative councillor for IT in the SAR, preferred to play up the threat to locally-based firms from outside of China.
"Most attacks come from smaller countries or areas with much looser controls and more liberal standards, so international police force co-operation is very important," Tam added.
"Mainly, they are financially-motivated internet attacks because we don't have many political, cultural or religious tensions here," he said.
At any rate, and as it's been proven many times in the recent past, it can be frustratingly difficult for experts to accurately trace back a cyber attack to its very source.
Given its large online population, China will naturally have a sizeable number of compromised machines which either home-grown or foreign hackers can use to launch more and more internet attacks, said HK CERT's Ko, and that's really the very worrisome part.
In other internet security news
A complex and very targeted bot virus has been discovered over the weekend that steals data from computers located in the Middle East, internet security researchers announced today.
Called 'Flame' the malware has actually been in operation since sometime in 2010, and appears to be state sponsored, Kaspersky Research Labs said today, although it wasn't sure of its exact origins.
Flame is designed to rob information on specific targeted systems as well as stored files on computers, as well as computer display contents and even audio conversations that took place in the recent past.
"The overall complexity and functionality of the newly discovered malicious software exceed those of all other cyber threats known to date," Kaspersky Labs said in a statement announcing the malware's discovery this morning.
The virus is about twenty times the size of Stuxnet, a virus that targeted the controls of an Iranian nuclear facility. The largest concentration of infected computers is in Iran, followed by the Israel/Palestine region, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
"Conducted upon an urgent request from the ITU, the preliminary findings of the research confirm the highly targeted nature of this malicious program," said Kasperky Labs' chief expert Alexander Gostev.
"And one of the most alarming facts to date is that the Flame cyber-attack campaign is currently in its active phase, and its controlling operator is consistently surveilling all infected systems, collecting information and targeting new systems to accomplish its unknown goals."
Eugene Kaspersky, the founder and CEO of Kaspersky Labs compared the new virus with Stuxnet and said it appeared to open a new front in state-sponsored cyber warfare.
But, he also said that its full significance won't be quite understood until more security researchers examine the whole contents of the malware and in very intricate details.
"The Flame virus looks to be into another phase of this never-ending war, and it's important to understand that such cyber weapons can easily be used against any country," Kaspersky said in a statement. "Unlike with conventional warfare, the more developed countries are actually the most vulnerable in this case, and that's exactly what we have to watch out for."

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and Software Factories
November 22, 2005
Click Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and Software Factories to listen to this ARCast.
Ron Jacobs: Welcome! Hey! Welcome to Arc Talk. This is your host, Ron Jacobs, and I am so delighted that you are with me today, because today we are going to be talking about, you know, just one of those crazy things you hear about and not sure if it is something you need to tune into.
I don't know if you are like me but, you know, around Microsoft we hear about a lot of stuff, happening stuff, that's coming, and sometimes you are, like, "Well, I just can't listen to everything." So, you turn off something and maybe you have heard about people talking about DSLs, and we're not talking about the communications technology, but rather we are talking about the domain-specific languages, or maybe you have heard them talk about the software factories on and, and in this kind of stuff, well, if you thought this is something you didn't need to know about, you were wrong, my friends, you are so wrong.
And today on the podcast, we are joined by Steve Cook, who is just a great guy! He called me from the U.K. and I just hooked up the phone to the recording stuff, so we can hear from him, and he has got some great thoughts on what this is all about.
I think you are going to enjoy listening to Steve and learning how this could apply to you and, to tell you the truth, I am now going to have to spend some time, like, trying to create my own DSL thing. In the past, I thought, Now that's for somebody else to do, but now I am thinking really, there's probably good reason to do it.
So, you tell me what you think. Right, tune in, listen up, we are going to have some links at the end of the podcast, and you can go to these links and discuss what you think. We have a wiki page, where we can write up some, some thoughts about DSLs and software factories. Anyways, it's cool stuff! Listen up! Steve Cook!
Today, I am joined by Steve Cook, who is a software architect in an enterprise tools group and, actually, Steve you are based out of the U.K., aren't you?
Steve Cook: That's right.
Ron Jacobs: And that must be, that must be challenging for you to work with us, with the Redmond guys, and being based out of the U.K.
Steve Cook: Well, there is eight-hours' time shift, and often I work quite late at nights, but on the other hand I get in quite late in the morning, so that's fine, and I get quite a lot of quiet time during the day. OK. (Laughter)
Ron Jacobs: All right, well, today, Steve, we are gonna talk about model-driven architecture and a little bit about what this is all about and what Microsoft is doing in this area, and so I think it's kind of an area that really I don't know a lot about, but I was looking over the OMGs page on model-driven architecture and it seem to me that they were sort of saying a story that we have heard before, which is essentially that, if you can describe your application in terms of diagrams and stuff, that there would be tools that you would convert it into any given platform that you might want, and so I reckon their goal of diagram they are saying is, you know, as long as you can describe your thing with UML and MAF and, and CWM, that they could then pick tools that might translate it into a Java app, a .NET app, a CORBA app, or whatever. So, what do you think about that kind of vision?
Steve Cook: Well, MDAs—model-driven architecture, which is a trademark of OMG—actually means quite a lot of different things to different people, I think. And I was involved, very much involved in the OMG before I joined Microsoft. I represented IBM on the standardization of UML tools, for example. So, here are the few things that I think model-driven architecture means to different people.
First off, I think a kind of out there, in general, particularly don't know much about it. It just means model-driven development in general is to create some model and we generate some code from it, kind of thing. Then, a kind of more specifically, from the OMG's point of view, it means doing that using the OMG's technology. And even that means different things to different people, because there are some people, they talk about what they call platform-independent model and platform-specific model and transformation between these models.
So, as you said, you can propose, just propose you can build a model which is platform-independent or somehow transform it into like a Java application or .NET application. Umm, some other people think of it, that as UML is a programming language and there are some books out there, a couple of books out there really proposing that you think of UML as a programming language, and then I think some other people say, Well, it's not really about UML, it's about using OMG technologies to do model development. So, it's kind of hard to pin down what MDA really means.
But, I mean, I think I think you are right in categorizing it as being… If you like, I would turn to the cliché vision of "We will take models and will generate application from them," and I even think if to take that seriously you really have to question why case didn't turn out to be terribly successful, because I… I don't think, you know, having said what we said, that we really said anything that would make you any more successful with time around.
So, I think there are really important missing factors in, you know, the formulation of the model-driven architecture that's on the OMG Web site, all that we discussed so far, which will make it work. One of them is, you don't start with a model. If you take this as your starting point, are we going to have a model and we are going to generate things from it? That's really the wrong place to start. What you got to start from is what you are going to generate.
That's the absolutely critical thing to understand, that you are going to make any success of generating code from models and that's what we call the domain-specific development, which is a kind of different thing from MDA.
Ron Jacobs: OK. So, let me ask you a question then about that, so is that if the starting point is not the model but the thing you are going to generate is like the application, I guess, is what you are saying?
Steve Cook: Well, part of the application. Yes!
Ron Jacobs: OK, because, well, it seem to me that one of the, one of the weaknesses of, of this model, at least I found it sort of frustrating in doing UML stuff is that it tries to be all, so all-encompassing and general-purpose that maybe domain-specific will allow you to be more specific to a kind of problem you are trying to solve. Is that what you are getting at? That this is the big advantage where we are proceeding?
Steve Cook: Yes! Yes! There is a kind of basic pattern here which is… all I think of is, being the language-driven programming pattern. This again has been around for while, but really does it if you have a framework, a bunch of code in a framework, then it's a particular kind of code you write to use that framework which I think of as being configuration code. It's a code that takes the framework and instantiates it to your particular case.
You know, you create instances of this and instances of that and wire them up, and that's the solution to your problem. And you see a lot of that kind of thing. For example, you see that you are creating GUIs and you create controls, forms, and stuff and wire them together through configuration code, and then you get the similar pattern of applying in many domains, and I think that's the kind of code you can target your generation at.
That's the kind of code you want your models to transform into, so there is a really intimate relationship between the models and the framework, which is, the models are essentially creating configuration code for the framework.
And if you take that perspective, then what you want to do is design a modeling environment specifically for that job and specifically for generating for that particular framework; and if your starting point is UML which, as you say, is very kind of ambitious and trying to talk about lots and lots of things (and, if I might say so as an author of it, is very kind of up and down and patchy in the level of abstraction which it talks about things), then if you are trying to address any particular configuration problem with it, then you will find that it doesn't fit.
You are going to have to somehow bend it to make it fit. You are going to have to put extra labels and spell your tags and expanding things to the UML, and build special generators that understand those labels and patching things, and you are up with something which fits together with the framework. But, you know, that can be a big job. It's not for the fainthearted. UML specs in itself is, you know, hundreds and hundreds of pages long. It may be easier just to take the job of generating this special configuration code, design the language to directly to build it, and that's the view we take. It is easier to do that.
Ron Jacobs: You know, so, I can completely understand what you are saying, because it seem to me that when I first learned UML, about '95, that it worked really well for describing the object interactions like within, you know, a business-logic layer and, you know, I could really use it very well for that sort of thing; but as I tried it to use it to describe more complex, distributed applications or, you know, even things like Web services later on, when they came around, it seemed harder to get important elements of the model into the UML, because it didn't really have a construct for describing the element of the model that you wanted. So, you always end up kind of fudging the model some way to make it work.
So, I can completely get that and I think, like you said, that understanding the framework you are targeting, it's almost like you would develop a very different kind of modeling language to describe a GUI-based app versus maybe a collection of Web services that are going to do something, that have nothing to do whatsoever with UIs. The models might be entirely different for the way that you described the thing you are intending to build.
Steve Cook: Absolutely, I mean, yes UML was designed in the 1990s. The kind of prevailing methodology of the OOA&D—object-oriented analysis and design—where there was a theory going around at that time that you can do object-oriented analysis.
You kind of analyze the objects in your business domain and then you build, kind of, sequence diagrams to depict how these objects talk to each other, and to get your, if you like, the sketch of the behavior of the software, at a kind of a high level where you haven't tried to map it down to any particular technology.
Then… The flip-back then was, you could kind of add detail to that model and turn it into design, and actually, eventually turn it into the code. Now, these days, you know, it just won't work, right! You can't add details to turn an object-oriented analysis model into a bunch of collative Web services or distributed services with, you know, load-balancing going on in between them and all that interesting stuff, right! It just doesn't work like that. We live in a different world these days.
So, I mean, basically, I think lots of people think of UML in that way that you described, which is you got class diagrams, you got sequence diagrams, you got use-case diagrams, maybe you got state diagrams, maybe you got activity diagrams, but really those three like classes, use cases, and sequence diagrams and you do, kind of, a high-level object oriented analysis, as a documentation, as an understanding of your problem; and then, by and large, you throw it away, right! You have used it to understand your problem. You then got to move on to mapping it to today's technology.
Now, if you look at some of the tools we just put out in Visual Studio 2005 of the application designer, that's a modeling tool for designing applications that talk to each other, right! And it has rectangles, with ports on the edge, and lines. Those ports on the edge of the rectangle represent end points, lines represent communications, and the boxes represent applications. Well, there is something in UML like that. The thing about our modeling tool is that the model is basically directly connected to the framework. Umm, in our case, in our particular tool, ASP.NET implements this particular stuff, so there is no big conceptual leap between the model and the framework.
Its just direct mapping. Umm, I think there it's not an important distinction to make about UML apart from that that it's really object-oriented analysis design language, if you like, and it should be checked as that; I mean, it doesn't work with the other things. The other distinction to be made is… but most people understand it through notation.
It's extremely popular as a notation and it is not popular as a meta model. But if you people understand it as a meta model and if you want to use it for model-driven development, you have to understand it as a meta model.
And then you really get into some kind of deep stuff, you know, where I think it is just not a very efficient place to be today. You can make it work, but what you said, you know, it really doesn't fit really well. So, what we think is, you should take to notation as a brilliant inspiration, right! Where people expect to see UML notational convention, like the way it organizes, you know, the direction of inheritance arrows or the places that black diamonds appear, all those things that people kind of understand. Let's reuse all of that. Let's, you know, not reinvent any of that. Where it's really not the right tool for the job, let's not try and use it.
Ron Jacobs: So, you know the, interesting thing about what we've done, I think, you guys have done (because I didn't have anything to do with it but on VS 2005) is, rather than just building a better modeling language, we actually built a platform for domain-specific languages with the idea that anybody ought be able to build one of these.
Steve Cook: Yes, that makes it easy to build the language. We talk about language-driven development or domain-specific development and the basic pattern is that you start by identifying, in your domain, or your framework, or your problem—whatever you want to call it—some holes that you can fill by defining models, which in the case of distributed applications could well be the holes you couldn't fill, could be the configuration of the applications and the way they talk to each other.
Right, so in the case of real-time system, the holes you might fill would be, you know, the state machine that runs that thing or… There is lot of examples, right! So, you start by identifying the hole that you want to fill, and you design the language to fill that hole.
We have got a framework that will implement modeling languages so basically, and also we bootstrap it, right, so we have a language for defining languages and we have a framework for defining languages, and the hole you fill in that framework is design of the language as a model.
So, we have a model for creating languages which includes creating the conceptual model for the language, the notation for language, serialization format for the language, the way the validation is done for the language, the way the code generation is done from the language.
So, you can kind of define all that quite quickly and deploy that and run it, and there is your language implemented as a tool in Visual Studio, and it will fill the hole in your framework. So, we are putting lot of effort into making it very easy to define new languages, and that's what we call the DSL tools.
Ron Jacobs: So, you know, let me think through an example of this with you, for example, the group I used to be with, the patterns & practices team, has built a UI framework, they call it the Composite UI Application Block, which is a framework for building UIs and using a composite pattern with smart-client applications and, like you said, this framework, when you're targeting an application of this framework, there is a certain set of things you got to do, which is, like, building up the configuration that the framework is going to apply at run time.
So, you got to describe the composite pieces, these things we call smart parts, and the workspaces that are going to work together and how they relate together.
And you describe this partly in configuration, but partly in code, and so right now, though it requires the developer to just, kind of, know what this configuration stuff has to be like, through a lot of experience and then they can sit down and apply it, but if they were to take this extra step, they could build a DSL language with shapes and stuffs like that, and design surface that you could drag these things around and connect them up graphically, and then generate the working config code that will, that would make that thing functional.
It will probably still need code, but you would maybe handle, I don't know, 60-70 percent of the stuff that needs to configure the app. Is that a good analogy?
Steve Cook: That's exactly right, yes, we haven't done that with the composite block that you are talking about, but we certainly could. We actually did a version of that with an earlier packed blockage of the UIP block, right, a User Interface Process block. We built a little demo language, which is essentially a flow chart and from that flow chart you would generate several things.
You generate the ad-hoc config file which contains the essential kind of logic of how you flow through the thing, and you generate some default pages which would then, you know, customize your serving code and generate some other stuff, I mean, we used templates to generate these classes and config files to complete the UIP block. Absolutely, you could do the same with the smart-client one, I am sure!
Ron Jacobs: OK. So, to be practical, I know a lot of the enterprises I talk to, they have, you know, especially in larger ones, they will have a team of people that are like their .NET center of excellence, or something like that, and the idea is that this team of people would evaluate what kind of frameworks and libraries and things we are going to use in our enterprise, and develop best practices and training and what-not.
So that, the goal being that the business units who are building applications would build them with consistent frameworks, and that sort of thing. They would achieve more reuse and better productivity.
Is it out of the realm of reality for a team like that to build the DSL? So, maybe like, you know, you are working at some really big bank and you got your own kind of in-house framework that you have developed for building stuff. Would it be impractical to say, "Hey, you, at that bank, you could build your own language, your own DSL language to assist your business units when they go to build the apps with that thing"?
Steve Cook: We've got several customers doing exactly that with the early version of DSL tools, at least evaluating them to do exactly that job, exactly that!
Ron Jacobs: OK.
Steve Cook: Absolutely, that's the key scenario for us.
Ron Jacobs: Well, so that it sounds like that's where, you know, this thing could really take off, because, you know, a lot of people thought, Oh, well, yeah, maybe ISVs will go out and build these, but your average guy can't hope to figure that out, but it sounds like it's not that hard.
Steve Cook: I actually… I think ISV is… The thing about ISV is they tend to probably want to start at a bit lower level. They may well want to use our modeling platform, but they don't really want to build a DSL in a day or even a week. They want to do something which for them is a product which has a lot of added value, so they are going to be operating at a more detail level of customization.
What we really are talking about is groups, just like the one you mentioned, or SI, like people who are running consultancies, who want to be able to reuse their own domain knowledge over a bunch of their customers. So, they might walk in with their own frameworks or their own DSLs, and be able to solve particular classes of problems in vertical industries quickly, because they have captured domain knowledge in their own language. So, our customers showing the most interest in what we are doing today are central architecture groups, large enterprises, and SI.
Ron Jacobs: Now, well, I could imagine, though, like in the late '90s I used to work for ERP-type ISVs, and I could imagine those guys thinking of their ERP platform as really a highly customizable framework, because essentially that's what we tried to build, because every customer had a different thing and, you know, the way we would do it is when the customer purchased the stuff, we would send an army of consultants in there who would know how to customize our stuff to make it work for them.
But I could imagine that this would be a very powerful paradigm for even an ISV and that kind of model, and that you think of the components of your enterprise software as a set of framework, a set of building blocks that will need to be assembled, and giving them a DSL to assemble them would really be a helpful thing.
Steve Cook: Oh, absolutely yes! I am not saying they wouldn't be interested, but all I am really saying is that they've probably got more funds to invest in that, so they might want to go into the platform a little deeper; but, absolutely, we are talking to ISV about several… actually, about the DSL tool, as well, for exactly that reason.
Ron Jacobs: OK, so...
Steve Cook: And I think another class of customers, rather, are actually individuals, right! It's so easy to build the language, but you couldn't just kind of do it. It maybe… take you a morning, and if you have got a task of problems to solve and you are an individual developer, it's worth doing that.
Ron Jacobs: OK. So, if some, if somebody was interested in, in taking this up and doing it, I know I hate getting links over audio, but maybe what you can do is, Steve, is e-mail me some links and I will post that up with this recording on the same page, and so people can go and they can download the DSL toolkit and can play around with it and do have some resources to help them?
Steve Cook: Absolutely! Well, there is one link which is kind of a top-level link for what we call a workshop on the Visual Studio site, and it's got links to our tools, it's also got some links to information about GAT and… and other stuff about white papers and software factories and all sorts of stuff, so I will send you that link, it's a bit tough.
Ron Jacobs: OK, great! Hey, this has been really cool, and I am finally kind of getting the picture. Thanks a lot for taking the time to talk to us today.
Steve Cook: Oh, you are extremely welcome.
Ron Jacobs: Yeah, I told you, didn't I? Just tell me, yes, say it, say it out loud, say, "You are right, Ron. This DSL thing is very, very cool. I am just totally blown away. I have been around here, and I didn't get this." But, you know, hey, that's the way it is. There is so much stuff. We have to tune out something, because you can't possibly keep up with that all.
But now you are gonna want to pay attention to this, because software factories is very cool. Hey, so I haven't had a chance here to work up a cool new Web address for my new home here on the architecture-strategy team.
Maybe I will get something like channel9.msdn.com wack archtalk. I am gonna ask for that, but until then you just have to go to the links here on the podcast page and look for the architecture wiki on channel 9 and, yes, it's an ugly thing to read a URL, but this is it, OK! Here we go: channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.Architecture
OK, go there, that's my little corner of channel 9, and we have wikis where we're gonna just build up knowledge and share with each other, because you feel so much better when you do. And we'll see you next time on Arc Talk.
