1. Re: cluster wide lock on a whole cache or make it readonlydex chen May 3, 2012 12:48 PM (in response to dex chen)
There is no response so far.
Let me add some extra explaination to the use case:
1) I was store cipher key in cache1, which is used to encrypt/decrypt the data store in cache 2.
2) I have a schedule the task to rotate/change the cipher key, which will create a new cipher key and re-cncrypt data in cache 2.
This action occures only on the coordinator. After a sucess roration, I'll remove the old cipher key in cahe1.
Here is the problem:
there is no way to gurantee that during the cipher key rotation on the coordinator (say node1), node 2 may add new entries to cache 2 encrypted with the old cipher key, since the current cache lock does not prevent other nodes from reading the old value.
In my view, to guranteen the cluster-wide transactional operation, I need to be able to lock the cache2 (i.e., does not allow any other node to modify the state).
After reading some document, one option I came up is to have another cache, say, cluster-lock, which will have only one constant entry to serve as the "lock-token" across the cluster. Before every modification operation to cache2, the code has to first lock the "lock-token".
Any suggestions and comments.

The data being encrypted does not have to occupy whole cache. It could be probably stored as one cache entry and then you can ensure locking on that key/value pair. In one transaction, first compute a new cipher, get the old data and store newly encrypted data, and store new cipher inside the same transaction.
With pessimistic locking in use, the put() operation will ensure lock acquisition and other users won't be able to modify the cipher/data until the end of the transaction.
3. Re: cluster wide lock on a whole cache or make it readonlydex chen May 10, 2012 2:36 PM (in response to Martin Gencur)
yes, it could work just using pessmic locking on the cipher key. But this requires to aquire lock for reading as well. That will cause significant performance issue.
4. Re: cluster wide lock on a whole cache or make it readonlyMartin Gencur May 10, 2012 2:58 PM (in response to dex chen)
No, read operations are non-blocking. See Infinispan documentation - Locking and Concurrency.
5. Re: cluster wide lock on a whole cache or make it readonlydex chen May 10, 2012 4:04 PM (in response to Martin Gencur)
It will not work if we do not aquire lock on reading. Here is why (see below);
Node 1: Node2:
(c1, cipher1), (k1, v1) (c1, cipher1), (k1, v1)
(c1, cipher1), (k2, v2) (c1, cipher1), (k2, v2)
tx.begin() adding a new entry with latest (existing cipher key = get(c1))
lock(cipher1) (c1, cipher1), (k3, v3)
make new cipher
reencrypt data
cipher2, (k1, v1')
cipher2, (k1, v2')
remove (cipher1)
After the transaction, the caches look like this:
(c2, cipher2), (k1,v1') (k1,v2') (k3, v3)
Here, v1' and v2' are now encrypted by cipher2, but v3 is encrypted by cipher1.
At this point, the cipher1 is removed, now the (k3, v3) is never able to be decrypted any more. The reason is that it is encrypted with cipher1 which is removed by the node1. You can see the cipher1 is still accessible during the transaction on node1. That's my issue.
6. Re: cluster wide lock on a whole cache or make it readonlyMartin Gencur May 11, 2012 2:50 AM (in response to dex chen)
I see, then something like the "lock-token" could help, as you described above.

Last Thanksgiving, I had a dilemma. No, it wasn't a turkey dilemma. It was a dessert dilemma. I could not decide whether to prepare a flan or a cheesecake for our Thanksgiving dinner. One side of my family wanted a flan, and another side wanted cheesecake. If I had the time during the holiday madness, I would have made one of each. But I didn't. Nonetheless, I ended up making a delicious pumpkin Tiramisu that made everyone content.
This year, I jumped ahead of the game and decided to combine the best of both worlds. I plan to prepare this cream cheese flan that is going blow last year's dessert out of the water. Think of it as a custardy cheesecake without crust but covered in syrup. Sounds amazing, doesn't it?
With that said I am spreading some cheesecake cheer Thanksgiving on my family with this mouthwatering treat and passing it on to you with this post. If cream cheese flan is not your dessert style, don't fret! Visit cheesecakecheer.com and choose from a decadent, classic, or a fresh cheesecake recipe. There is a cheesecake out there just for you! I like them all!
Don't forget to explore the site and get inspired by beautiful entertainment and recipe ideas for you to try during the upcoming holidays. Happy baking!
Flan de Queso
Prep Time: 20 minutes • Cook Time: 1 hour 25 minutes • Serves: 8
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
12 ounces evaporated milk
14 ounces condensed milk
1 package (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, at room temperature
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
COMBINE sugar and water over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves in a heavy, small pan. Boil but do not stir, hold the pan's handle and slowly swirl pan to incorporate sugar and water to resemble amber syrup. Do not burn. Approximately 8 minutes.
IMMEDIATELY pour syrup into 9-inch cake pan. Carefully swirl the cake pan around to cover the entire bottom in syrup. Set aside.
WHISK eggs, cream cheese, evaporated milk, condensed milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
POUR into prepared cake pan and cover lightly with aluminum foil. Place covered cake pan in a large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan half way up with boiling water as a bain-marie.

Updated -- Canada's Supreme Court Redefines Risk
By Janet Madsen
October 5, 2012
This article was provided by Positive Women's Network BC.
UPDATE -- -- scroll to the bottom for some links to media coverage on the decision
This morning the Supreme Court of Canada released their decision on two cases about HIV disclosure and criminal law that will influence criminal cases in the future.
(Big breath) Wow.
Now I should preface this post by saying I'm not a lawyer, so you can't count on this as legal advice. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network provides information about the law, but even they will direct you to a lawyer if you have questions about your own circumstances.
My initial sense of happiness at the acquittal of a positive woman in Quebec (known publicly as DC) remains for her. I'm sure she appreciates the acquittal and I wish her the best for a peaceful evening -- I can imagine it's been an emotional day.
But thinking beyond her circumstances, I'm pondering how this will play out. What kinds of "comfort" might people erroneously take when it comes to safe sex? How will this affect women?
When I heard about the DC ruling, it, I initially thought that the acquittal was based on scientific evidence about her low viral load and the lack of significant risk it meant to her partner. But reading and learning more (it was a busy morning), that's not the case. The case was actually decided in her favour because of unclear information about whether or not a condom was used -- she said yes, he said no, and the court felt the evidence wasn't clear enough to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. Court documents also questioned her partner's reliability because of "the aura of vengeance that surrounded the making of the complaints."
The bigger picture that results from decisions on her case and the second case that was in question have worrisome implications
A little history: Since a 1998 Supreme Court decision on HIV non -- disclosure (R vs Cuerrier) criminal charges may be laid against a person with HIV if they don't tell sex partners their HIV positive status prior to having sex if it poses "a significant risk of bodily harm."
So what is "significant risk"?
The "significant risk" question is one that desperately needed answering and this is what people were hoping for. Since the decision in 1998, scientific and medical understanding of HIV progression, treatment and transmission has come a long way.
The risk of transmission from women to men if only one of these conditions is met ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 12,500. (See Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network fact sheet "Women and HIV Criminalization of HIV Non -- Disclosure" for more info on transmission and sources).
Today's Ruling
This morning's Supreme Court ruling indicates that both conditions must be met to avoid possible prosecution. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, an intervener in the Supreme Court proceedings, has issued a statement that reads, in part,
"[D]espite significant advances in scientific knowledge, the Supreme Court decides condoms are not enough. In practice, today's ruling means that people risk being criminally prosecuted even in cases where they exercised responsibility and took precautions, such as using condoms which are 100% effective when used properly."
In the past they've raised the important issue that laws regarding HIV disclosure aren't protective.
"Criminalization creates a false sense of security that safer sex is not necessary unless so notified. This message is at odds with the fact that one -- quarter of HIV -- positive Canadians are unaware of their infection." ("Women and HIV Criminalization of HIV Non -- Disclosure")
This is repeated in the statement this morning:
"[P]eople not living with HIV need to be empowered to accept responsibility for their own health, and not proceed under a false sense of security that the criminal law will protect them from infection."
Here at Positive Women's Network we've supported women on both sides of the issue -- those who were infected as a result of partners who didn't disclose and those who have been accused of non -- disclosure. It is very complicated, because disclosure is complicated in this society that still works against women in so many ways. Violence against women, economic inequities, cultural expectations, societal shaming and condemnation all factor in. The law can be used against women, as shown in DC's case where the judge saw her partner seeking vengeance. BC Civil Liberties Association's Micheal Vonn says "Every person living with HIV in this country is now just one vindictive partner away from criminal prosecution."
So where do things go from here?
First we learn. Then we share, and support women with HIV wherever their lives take them.

Wildcard characters are used in queries to represent one or more alphanumeric characters within a search term. The question mark (?) is used to represent one alphanumeric character within a term. For Example: b??d could return "band", "bond", "baud", etc. An asterisk (*), however, is used to represent zero or more alphanumeric characters. For Example: b*d could return "bad", "bond", "branded", etc.
Wildcards must be placed at the end of terms or within terms. For Example: "b*d", "b??d", and "Ban?" are valid, however, "*and" and "?and" are not.
Scie??? Sci* Be*r Be?r* Science* Sci???*
Boolean operators are used to describe the relationship between two or more terms or groups of terms. IPL2search supports the use of AND, OR, and NOT as operators. In addition, the Plus (+) sign can be applied to a term to denote that the said term must be present within the query results. Conversely, a Minus (-) sign can be placed immediately in front of a term to denote that the proceeding term may not exist within the query results. All boolean operators must be capitalized.
AND, OR, NOT : Must be preceded and followed by a term or grouping of terms
+ : Must be placed immediately before the term or grouping of terms of interest
- : Follows similar syntax as +, however, additional terms of interest must also be present within the query.
cats AND mice NOT dogs "Polar Bears" OR Cheetahs (Cats OR Cheetahs) AND (Bears OR Monkeys) -Tigers
Range searches provide the ability to search between between date or alphanumeric values inclusively as well as exclusively.
Range searches must follow the forms of [WORD TO WORD] or [DATE TO DATE]. The use of brackets ([ and ]) will return inclusive results, however, braces ({ and }) will return results between the two given values but not results containing the search values. All dates must be in correct chronological order and be in the form of YYYYMMDD. The TO operator must be capitalized.
[Bear TO Cheetah] [19980101 TO 20021231] {Bear TO Cheetah} {19980101 TO 20021231}
Boosting is used to add importance to a specific term or group of terms. All terms have a boost value of "1" by default and can be boosted to any number greater than 1. Search results favor terms with a higher boost value.
To boost a term, add a caret (^) followed by a number. The higher the number, the greater the importance that is placed on the term. The number must be greater than "1". Boosting can be used with wildcards, quoted terms, grouped terms, and range searches.
Bears^2 Tigers^3 Cheet??*^6 "Polar Bears"^5 {19980101 TO 20021231}^4 AND ("Polar Bears" OR Dinosaur*^4)^7
Proximity searches provide a means of checking to see if two terms are within a specified distance of each other in an article field.
To complete a proximity search, a tilde (~) followed by an integer (non-decimal number) greater than 0 must follow two terms enclosed in quotes. Generally: "term1 term2"~4 will search for the use of term1 and term2 within four words of each other. More complex proximity searches involving phrases can also be used: ""Polar Bears" Zoo"~8 will return results that have the phrase Polar Bears and the term Zoo within 8 words of each other.
"Bear Zoo"~6 ""Science of" Education"~10 ""Polar Bears" "Zoo Life""~20
The fuzzy operator modifies how closely a given search term must be matched within the returned results.
The fuzzy operator uses a tilde (~) and a decimal number between 0 and 1 directly following the intended term. The results are more likely to resemble the initial search term as the fuzzy number approaches one. For example: Boar~0.3 searches for Boar, Bear, Bohr, etc. However, Bear~0.99 is likely only to return items such as Bear and Bears. The default Fuzzy value is 0.5.
Bear~0.8 Science~0.15 Cheetah~.4

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Researchers took DNA samples from family members of boys who died decades ago at a now-defunct Florida reform school to try to help solve the mystery of which bodies were buried on the property.
During a news conference Friday, University of South Florida associate professor Erin Kimmerle said the DNA samples will eventually be compared to remains found at the boys school.
It is unclear when the comparisons will be made. Researchers have yet to exhume any bodies buried on the property.
The school, formally known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys, closed in 2011.
It was located in Marianna about 60 miles west of Tallahassee and was once the nation's largest reform school, with 698 youths.
Also Friday, officials from the Florida Department of State sent USF researchers a letter asking for additional information in order to evaluate a pending permit application for the exhumation.
Associated Press reporter Gary Fineout contributed to this report from Tallahassee, Fla.

TARZANA, CALIFORNIA -- On October 9, 2008 I decided to purchase a PC2800 Mixer from DAK in order to transfer music from my LP's to CD. The product arrived damaged from a shipping problem. I contacted the customer service dept and was quickly informed where to send the item for warranty repair or replacement; given the address on the east coast; advised to ship via UPS ground; and promised reimbursement.
The software downloads that accompanied the piece of hardware in my order did not function as they were advertised so I was also e-mailed another set of download codes in an effort to help get them to work. I still could not get them to function, and without having the mixer to record with, the downloads and the EQ were useless. I asked that the (30 day) free trial period be adjusted to reflect the additional shipping time and was assured that would be no problem. The replacement mixer arrived two weeks later in the same new box that I had purchased to return the unit with one of the four rubber "feet" missing.
I e-mailed the arrival information to customer service at DAK and informed them of the missing parts. A few hours later I was able to determine that the EQ would definitely not be effective for my use; and I found the instructions for the rest of the order to be a jumble of pasted together paragraphs that often repeated themselves from one paragraph to the next and from page to page. I e-mailed my request for a refund for the EQ right away and I got a quick reply that stated "so sorry, but you have exceeded your five day return limit, and your ten day return limit".
When I reiterated the promise from the person at customer service that had been signing the same name on all our messages and had been so prompt, so courteous, and so accommodating up to this point; I got the same answer again. I printed out all the e-mails, and sent a message describing the date, time, and subject line of the e-mail containing the promise to extend my trial period. I got an e-mail back right away that stated simply "we will process a refund for the EQ within five days" but it was the first unsigned message I had received from DAK.
Immediately I checked my credit card to see if the reimbursement for the shipping charges had been accomplished, after more than three weeks from the time I shipped the unit I still had not been reimbursed. After another couple of days I lost my faith in the company and the integrity of the customer service staff. I sent an e-mail to Drew A. Kaplan, (the CEO of DAK) in response to his original 'Thank You' message to me that included his name, position, e-mail address, and a request to contact him directly if I had any problems at all because he felt it was always better to send purchased items back for a complete refund if the customer was not happy.
I got no reply. I got no reply from the customer service address when I sent an e-mail requesting the refund for the EQ, and the repair shipping expenditure; I suggested that even though the replacement unit was incomplete it would be less expensive for DAK to simply send me the missing feet since shipping back and forth would negate revenue for DAK; failing that I suggested a reduction in price for the mixer unit to allow me to purchase the needed parts locally, and to accommodate me as a customer; failing all those options would leave me no choice but to return the mixer and seek a complete refund. I got no reply again.
I contacted my credit card customer service department and began the process of charge reversal due to damaged or incomplete merchandise. Once the charges have been reversed I expect to be contacted by DAK. My plan for that eventuality is to seek payment in advance (just as they had) for my time and the shipping charges to return the hardware. This is a California company, I live in Washington State, and their repair facility is in Brooklyn, New York.
I would not recommend DAK to anyone based on my experience. The downloads are faulty. The instructions are confusing. The repair facility and/or the shipping department appears to pay no heed to the condition of the items being shipped. The promises are not kept. The 'boss' seems to state one thing and the sales/customer service staff seem to state another.
The "boss" does not make good on his promise to advocate on the behalf of his customers. The sales/customer service staff seems to rather avoid problems than attempt to solve them. Two days ago I received an unsolicited e-mail that addressed me as a satisfied DAK customer and invited me to purchase more goods from them. I hope they are not holding their breath until I buy again.
TARZANA, CALIFORNIA -- I am in the early stages of the same situation as 2 earlier complaints about DAK Industries, Inc and the way they handle customers who want to return the products they ordered within the 5 and 30 day return guarantees. All e-mails except one that I have sent to DAK have not been answered. The one that had no information about a return authorization number or to where it was to be returned. I have tried to cancel the software codes 3 times within the 5 day period but have not received any confirmation from them. I was just notified 4 days after I sent them 3 e-mails to stop shipment, that the item has been shipped.
At this point I am glad that I used my credit card for this transaction. It was shipped. I requested cancellation 15 hrs and 35 mins after the order was made. DAK claims it was past the 24hr deadline to cancel. If they would read my e-mails, they would know they are wrong. They don't care. Now I'm stuck with postage both ways because of their incompetence. Never buy anything from DAK Industries, NEVER. I read Mr. Kaplan's response. His comment about after UPS gets the package it's out of DAK's hands.
My e-mails to stop the shipment were done before and while UPS was preparing a label but still indicated that they had NOT received the package at that time. I checked the UPS site for 3 days and each time the package had NOT been received yet. I e-mailed DAK about this fact, but they never responded until UPS had said simply 'it's on its way'. Otherwise, they ignored my stop shipment e-mails. Also DAK's 5 day/30 day refund guarantee conflicts with each other because you down load the software for approval but have to wait for the hardware to test the software out.
The software is covered for 5 days but you don't get the hardware until 8 days so the 5 day return time for the software has expired and you still don't have the hardware to test it. Now you are now stuck with the software and the codes that they send and if you don't like the hardware, you can't get you money back because the software and hardware are sold as a package deal for $69.00 plus shipping. (this is a point that I am bringing up with the California attorney general because it is NOT on the up and up.)
Under these procedures, DAK has nothing to lose because the buyer pays shipping both ways and will not get a refund for the product until they receive it paid both ways. They put you in a position to either take it all or return it. The package deal should be on a full 30 day return policy not split. OK Drew, answer me this. I buy the mixer/software package at $69.00. After 5 days the codes are sent to me and as your ads say, I just bought the software when the codes are sent. Then I get the mixer.
I try out the mixer with the software and before my 30 day return period is up I decide that I either; Like the mixer but not the software or like the software but not the mixer. How does DAK handle the return as far as - 1. Shipping (if example 1 above) which was downloaded with codes sent and not shipped? 2. How do you prorate the $69.00 total cost if one or the other item is rejected?
I hear what you are saying Drew, but your ad for the package makes it clear that the software codes will be sent after a 5 day review of the software and once sent there is no refund (I presume meaning for the software) I understand the 30 day refund if not satisfied, but the former statement about the software just adds some confusion about the package and the 5/30 days. Perhaps you need to clarify the ad for the package deal.
Hi, I'm Drew Kaplan from DAK. We offer 30 day free trials so you can return anything anytime.
In this case and most cases, we ship the same day the order is received and at the very latest the next day. We ship from both Los Angeles and NY. Once an order is in our system, it can't be stopped often even an hour after the order is placed. It's automated because if you're like me, you want what you order, like yesterday. 15 hours is an eternity to wait for any company today to get around to shipping your order. Please always let us know what you want, but sometimes all we can do is offer the refund, once UPS has a package it's totally out of our hands. Thanks for the chance to respond. Drew
Hi, it's Drew here again. Just let me clarify the software/hardware returns. 100% of software sold with the Mixer/turntable system is covered for the 30 days. So, if you return the system, you get a 100% refund on the software. 100% of the time. Always. I'm really sorry about the UPS shipping but it really does go out from 2 warehouses automatically and we really can't find an individual order after it's placed. If you will contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com, I'll try to track down what happened. But either way, you will get a 100% refund for BOTH hardware and software as will anyone who ever bought and returned a system within 30 days. If you only download and buy software by itself you have 5 days to try it out. And you get a 100% refund if you don't like it. We aren't perfect, we make mistakes too, but we have to be highly automated to get products out of our warehouses fast and inexpensively. Sorry for the problem, Drew
It's just like I said before. When you buy the mixer for $69.90 (or turntable system for $219) you get the programs with it. And if you return it within 30 days, you get the full $69.90 refund. No questions. No problems. We don't refund P&H, but we do refund the 'system' which is both hardware and software. If you only buy software, there's nothing to return. You have 5 days to decide, not 30. We don't normally do refunds of the hardware or the software. It's a system. But if you returned your system, you should have gotten the full $69.90 and you should already know this.
TARZANA, CALIFORNIA -- I bought the DAK Tape to CD Interface so I could easily convert my cassette tapes to CD. I ordered the product and paid with a USPS money order on 10-12-07. I received the product on 10-17-07 and immediately attempted to hook it up with the "help" of his clear as mud tutorial. I could not get the thing to work at all, so I got on his website and emailed him carefully explaining my problem. I got no response within two days, so I got back on his website again and got the email address of his tech support and sent him (her?) an email. Again no response.
So I again got on the website and emailed everyone who had an email address listed on his site (I believe there are six different addresses listed). Not even one responded. So I Googled DAK in Tarzana, CA got their phone number and telephoned them. I got a recording to leave my phone number and they would get right back to me. Of course no one has ever called me back.
So I said ** 'em and returned the product on 11-08-07 which is a full seven days before the "30 day unconditional money back guarantee" ran out. I sent it with USPS delivery confirmation and the USPS confirms that they delivered it to DAK safe and sound on 11-10-07. Here it is 11-17-07 and I don't have anything. No refund and no product. My suggestion is to NOT buy ANYTHING from them. Next stop, the attorney general of California.

With so many titles to choose from, Netflix Instant's library can be overwhelming. So we offer this biweekly column as a tool to cut through the clutter by highlighting some now streaming titles that pair nicely with the latest theatrical releases.
Looking to Identity Thief, Side Effects and Beautiful Creatures for inspiration, we've pulled together a selection of road trip comedies, psychological thrillers and fantasy-fueled romances.
Identity Thief
Bridesmaids' Melissa McCarthy fronts this road trip comedy as the titular thief whose series of scams threatens the life and livelihood of a straight-laced accountant played by Jason Bateman. To get his life back on track, he must track her down and bring her to justice. Of course, it's a wild ride. John Cho and Amanda Peet co-star; Seth Gordon directs.
A great road trip comedy includes co-stars with great timing and electric chemistry, scads of slapstick and some truly outlandish bits. And the trio below boasts all of the above.
The Sweetest Thing (2002) Cameron Diaz stars as a dedicated heartbreaker whose head spins when she meets the man of her (sex) dreams. Fearing their brief encounter might go nowhere, she and her best gal pal (Christina Applegate) take to the road to reconnect with her missed connection Mr. Right. The humor in this underrated comedy is raunchy and wild. Check it out, and be sure to stay through the credits for Jason Bateman's heartfelt rendition of the Bangles' "Eternal Flame." Selma Blair and Thomas Jane co-star; Roger Kumble directs.
Tommy Boy (1995) Chris Farley fronts this beloved buddy comedy as the titular Tommy Boy, a sweet but deeply dopey young man who has to grow up fast to run his father's business that is on the brink of folding. A snooty numbers cruncher named Richard is tasked with taking him on the road and teaching him the art of the sale. Along the way this odd couple runs into tons of hilarious trouble and learns about bromance. Brian Dennehy, Bo Derek and Dan Aykroyd co-star; Peter Segal directs.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) In this comedy classic Steve Martin plays a harried marketing exec hellbent on getting home in time for Thanksgiving, but at every turn he's running into delays, obstacles and a loudmouthed buffoon played by John Candy. Can they make it to Chicago without killing each other? John Hughes directs.

3. Discuss with your counselor how Scouting's programs have developed over time and been adapted to fit different age groups and interests (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Exploring, Venturing).
4. Do ONE of the following:
5. Learn about the history of your unit or Scouting in your area. Interview at least two people (one from the past and one from the present) associated with your troop. These individuals could be adult unit leaders, Scouts, troop committee members, or representatives of your troop's chartered organization. Find out when your unit was originally chartered. Create a report of your findings on the history of your troop, and present it to your patrol or troop or at a court of honor, and then add it to the troop's library. This presentation could be in the form of an oral/written report, an exhibit, a scrapbook, or a computer presentation such as a slide show.
6. Make a collection of some of your personal patches and other Scouting memorabilia. With their permission, you may include items borrowed from family members or friends who have been in Scouting in the past, or you may include photographs of these items.

After Saying She'd Do Anything to Have Sex With Him, K Michelle & JR Smith Hook Up at Club
Stiletto Jill calls this a "Bird Call".
When either an athlete or reality show star calls out someone in a public forum and then amazingly a few days later they are spotted booed up at some club or on the beach somewhere.
K. Michelle made herself very clear a couple of days ago when she said should would do anything to get Knicks JR Smith back. JR heard the call and after the Knicks beat the Lakers, JR decided to shoot some threes with K. Michelle at a New York Nightclub.
I am not mad at him at all, when the bird calls, sometimes you have to answer the door especially when…..

Playing in their second to last match of the season, Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-23 (6W-5L-3D) host their Vancouver Island rivals Victoria Highlanders FC (5W-6L-4D) at Minoru Park Oval in Richmond, BC, on Sunday afternoon, with the Juan De Fuca Plate up for grabs.
The Juan De Fuca Plate is a supporters-driven competition between the three British Columbia clubs in the United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL).
With a win or draw, Whitecaps FC U-23, who are 3W-0L-1D against Victoria and Fraser Valley Mariners FC this season, will be crowned champions in the plate's inaugural year.
"In my opinion, I think the group has played the best football in the league this year," Residency head coach Craig Dalrymple told whitecapsfc.com. "We've out-possessed most teams and out-chanced most teams. Results in the second half of the season have been better and it would be nice to have that capped off by winning that trophy."
The young 'Caps are undefeated in their two meetings with Highlanders FC this season - both which took place at Victoria's Royal Athletic Park. Most recently, they captured their first ever victory in Victoria June 9 with a 4-2 decision, after playing to a 1-1 draw earlier in the season.
Whitecaps FC also enter Sunday's match with a shot at the PDL playoffs, as they trail Washington Crossfire by four points with two matches left.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. PT at Minoru Park Oval in Richmond.

Choosing the Right Law School / Re: Taking the plunge!« on: February 27, 2011, 11:38:48 AM »
I do not judge myself above or below anyone else. Shame on you for your arrogance.
You will find quite a few arrogant asses here, and on other law school-oriented boards. Fortunately, we know the truth. I retired from the same military you served in and will now share the secret we learned:
Turds float.
Success is both relative (as you so cogently point out), and usually results from a combination of luck, hard work, positive attitude, and realistic expectations. Good luck with your endeavors.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York officials are reaching out to people who may have been physically affected by the 9/11 attacks to tell them they may still be eligible for health benefits.
U.S. Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Jerrold Nadler are joining community and labor officials and emergency workers on Monday for the start of an outreach campaign to publicize the available benefits.
Tens of thousands of people are eligible for free medical exams, treatment and medication under the World Trade Center Health Program. They include those who lived and worked in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn in the year following 9/11 — even those who may have been exposed just briefly to possible toxins.
There's no deadline to file health claims.
Oct. 3 is the deadline for the Victims Compensation Fund for economic losses due to 9/11 injuries.

Set in the near future, the Battlefield: Bad Company single-player campaign drops gamers into a dramatic Eurasian conflict. As part of a squad of four soldiers, players risk it all to go AWOL on a personal quest, fighting their own war within the war. Featuring a dramatic storyline flavored with attitude, Battlefield: Bad Company leads gamers far from the traditional frontlines on a wild ride with a group of renegade soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn't enough.

Gamers have total freedom to be daring and innovative, adapting to and tackling challenges in unexpected "Battlefield-style" ways. Create sniping positions by blowing out a piece of a wall or drive your tank straight through a small house. The ever-changing battlefield forces players, their teammates and enemies to react accordingly.
For a limited time only, gamers will be able to purchase the Gold Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company. The Gold Edition pack features exclusive content with behind-the-scenes action and strategy videos giving Battlefield: Bad Company players tricks and tips on how to own the battlefield.

These weapons can also be unlocked after the launch of the game by ranking up to the highest level in multiplayer mode.
Key Features
- A deep campaign loaded with attitude follows a wayward band of ordinary soldiers who risk it all on a quest for personal gain.
- Battlefield: Bad Company environments are 90 percent destructible, meaning that any structure can be demolished down to its foundation. Gamers can shape the battlefield to match their play style – the possibilities are literally endless.
- Land, air or sea, dozens of new tools are waiting for explosive experimentation. Battlefield: Bad Company gives gamers the building blocks to get creative and usher in a new era of their own "Battlefield moments".
- DICE's Frostbite game engine raises the bar for next-gen gaming, with stunning HD graphics that bring characters, vehicles, and environments to life like never before.
- Support for 24 players online in a world designed to take full advantage of the game's massively destructible environments.
- DICE's attention to detail is applied to the act of firing a weapon. Dozens of subtle changes to the FPS formula add up to a vastly improved shooting experience.

County attorney says following Laurie list 'not worth it'By NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 21. 2013 9:40PM
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance has decided against notifying defendants in cases in which John Seusing testified years before he became Nashua's police chief, unlike state prosecutors who recently disclosed his decades-old discipline to three convicted murderers.
"I can't do it. To expend the man-hours to try to even attempt it to me is not worth the taxpayers' money. It would take several attorneys to go through thousands of files," LaFrance said.
Prosecutors have a constitutional obligation to notify defendants of all evidence favorable to them, including police discipline involving dishonesty, according to the state Attorney General.
An August review cleared Seusing of allegations that he was disciplined in the mid-1980s for fabricating a report and providing false testimony. In a news release, the AG's office said its investigation found that Seusing was suspended for 15 days for lying to his superiors in that same case, then corrected himself on his own.
Associate Attorney General Jane Young said it was up to LaFrance to determine whether to disclose the discipline in prior cases prosecuted by the county.
Concord attorney Jim Moir said defendants in cases in which Seusing testified have the right to know even after trial, and even after many years. He suggested she make a public statement telling the defendants that Seusing had a Laurie issue dating back to the mid-1980s that wasn't disclosed as required.
LaFrance countered: "Easy for Jim Moir to say."
Issuing such a statement would likely bring work at her office to a standstill, she said.
But Moir said the defendants have a constitutional right to the information.
"I appreciate her problem. It's a massive task and the reason she is faced with the task is there doesn't seem to be a procedure in place," Moir said.
Moir said if defendants have more than just mere speculation that a particular officer testifying against them had a Laurie issue that wasn't disclosed before trial, they can send a letter asking the prosecutor to investigate, and follow up by filing a motion in court.
LaFrance said police chiefs refer the names of police officers out "of an abundance of caution."
"The Laurie list is not a list of untrustworthy officers," LaFrance said.

The much-maligned Michael Ryder is usually singled out most as the player that will lose his NHL roster spot if the Bruins decide to keep more than one of their heralded rookies.
While general manager Peter Chiarelli didn't want to classify Ryder as an in-danger playerr today during a conference call, he didn't exactly give the 30-year-old winger a ringing endorsement either.
"I haven't minded [Ryder's camp]. I mean, he's been in one game," said Chiarelli, whose team is spending today and Monday in Vermont doing team-building exercises. "He came to camp in better shape than he has before. That's never really been an issue, but his run test was better, his vertical jump was better. So he's done some good work over the summer.
"I know there's been a lot written about Mike that he's the odd man out. I wouldn't say that right now because I think he's been one of our better performers in the last two playoffs, the last two years in the playoffs. That's the type of stuff that's hard to get. Camp is early and we'll see how his performance goes the rest of the way."
In the 2009 playoffs, Ryder totaled 13 points (five goals) in 11 games. Last postseason, he finished with five points (four goals) in 13 contests. While he has had his moments, he hasn't exactly been roaring down the Conn Smythe parkway. A glance at the numbers shows Ryder has been as hot-and-cold in the playoffs as in the regular season. Last year, two of his goals came in the same game against Buffalo. Then he scored just twice in the seven-game series with Philadelphia.
The previous spring he followed his four-goal performance in the sweep of Montreal with just one goal in the seven-game thriller with Carolina.
With the way the Bruins' brass — in particular Chiarelli and head coach Claude Julien — have been singing the praises of Jordan Caron and Ryan Spooner, it's obvious the club is intrigued about maybe keeping two, or even three, rookies around to start the season Ryder's playoff resume has been solid, but he better not bank on it keeping him on this team. He has to do some things to elicit the same type of praise from Julien and Chiarelli that the younger guys have done. Or he can start condo hunting in Providence.

As someone else mentioned you should DEFINETLY consult an attorney. Having a lot of experience with contracts however, if you have determined a "Breach" of contract by the billing company than you can deem the contract ended based on that breach..However it's not quite that simple.. Depending on the contract you may or may not have a right to access their system, this is where it gets sticky. Your smallest issue is whether to let them continue for the 30 days, the bigger issue is going to be the transition. I can't really be more specific without actually seeing the contract. I am a paralegal and contracts is sort of my specialty so if you would like to forward it to me I can better guide you (Disclaimer however being I am not an attorney) Billing companies like that give us a bad name as Michelle said, and I too have seen it go both ways. I've actually seen more deliberate fraud and abuse IN house but in taking over for other billing companies I notice more Errors.Someone mentioned E&O insurance.. In a perfect world, however as I have come to learn over the years no matter how much I preach this or discuss this or stress it.. Most billing companies don't put out the money for E&O. Good luck!!Linda WalkerPMRNCwww.billerswebsite.com
question.......how much responsibility (legally) does an in house biller have for the provider she works for?? What rights do a provider have when his biller's lack of knowlege or (maybe intentional) creates financial ruin for a provider?

They hold just as much liability and responsibility.Linda WalkerPMRNCwww.billerswebsite.com
We had a provider that was charged with fraud, billing for patients that were not seen. Being an outside billing service we obviously did not know the patients had not come into the office. We cooperated fully with the investigation, showing all the documentation to prove that we were provided with which obviously indicated the patient had been seen.

What makes a fan a real fan? Is it buying tickets or T-shirts? What about tattoos?
When it comes to college football, I think you can factor in dating habits into how obsessed a fan is about his or her team. I know people who won't even consider dating someone who went to a different school.
You may say it's crazy, I say there's something to it. Dating is a contact sport. A spirited debate rose up in the RedEye newsroom this week about how to date when you're a die-hard supporter of your university.
Some of this is simple. If you're dating someone who went to a rival school, you buy one of those tacky "house divided" license plates and don't have sex the week they play or something.
But what about that gray area? What are the rules of rooting when it comes to dating? Allow me to assist.
>> If you're dating someone who went to a school that doesn't have a significant football team (for the purposes of this column, "significant" means they're a playable team in "NCAA Football 14"): That person should root for your team.
>> If you and your s/o went to big schools in the same conference: Root separately but give a halfhearted effort when they aren't playing your school.
>> If you both went to football powerhouses but you never play each other: Show some love. If you're dating, wear a shirt in their color if you're watching a game with them. If you're married or quickly heading in that direction, take the plunge and buy some official apparel.
>> What if your school is amazing at one sport and terrible at the rest? (Looking at you, Indiana grads) Root for your school, but be aware that you might need to do a little moonlighting during the offseason.
>> Don't blindly assume that just because your sweetheart went to a football powerhouse that they give a crap about the team. If they don't care about football and you do, then they should root for your team.
>> If you don't care what people think and choose to root all the way for the team your BF/GF supports, don't become one of those smug SOBs. You know, the kind who says "we" and acts like you've been supporting since day one. Everyone hates bandwagon fans, but bandwagon-in-law fans are even worse. Don't do it.
