Message Authentication
Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Vista
Message authentication provides two services. It provides a way to ensure message integrity and a way to verify who sent the message. To request authentication, the sending application must set the authentication level of the message to be authenticated. When authentication is requested, a digital signature and a user certificate are attached to the message in addition to the sender's SID, which is attached to all messages in the sender identifier property (PROPID_M_SENDERID or MSMQMessage.SenderId) by default. An internal certificate generated by Message Queuing or an external certificate supplied by a certification authority can be used. By default, Message Queuing attaches the internal certificate for the user to the message. An external certificate can be attached directly by the sending application, or an internal or external certificate can be attached by Message Queuing at the request of the sending application using a security context structure specified in the message.
Authenticating for message integrity ensures that no one has tampered with the message or changed its content. When authentication is requested, the Message Queuing runtime digitally signs the message when it is sent, and the destination queue manager verifies the digital signature before it places the message in the destination queue. Once message integrity is established, Message Queuing verifies who sent the message.
The Message Queuing runtime uses a private signing key to sign the message digitally. The destination queue manager then uses the associated public signing key in the certificate to verify this digital signature.
By default, Message Queuing also authenticates who sent the message. However, the sending application can disable this type of authentication by requesting Message Queuing not to attach the sender identifier to the message. For Message Queuing to verify who sent the message, the sender must have a certificate registered in the directory service before sending the message. Registering a certificate stores the public part of the certificate in the directory service under the applicable user object. The destination queue manager then uses the digest of the certificate to locate the certificate in the directory service and retrieve the security identifier (SID) of the user who registered the certificate. The queue manager then compares this identifier to the sender identifier attached to the message, and if they are the same, the queue manager authenticates the message and places it in the destination queue after verifying that the access rights for placing messages in the queue are allowed for the sender.
Message Queuing cannot perform sender authentication based on the sender's SID in a workgroup environment or for messages sent from another forest or a computer that does run on a Windows® operating system. In a workgroup environment, Message Queuing cannot access the directory service, so you cannot register a certificate, and the SID of a user in one forest is meaningless in another forest.
Similarly, Message Queuing cannot authenticate the sender of a message sent over HTTP/HTTPS or to a multicast address (an SRMP message) by comparing the SID of the user who registered the certificate with the sender identifier because the sender identifier is not conveyed in SRMP messages.
The process that Message Queuing uses to authenticate a message is the same regardless of the type of certificate that you attach to the message. The following paragraphs provide a brief description of what information each type of certificate contains and how the receiving application can use that information.
Internal Certificates
When Message Queuing is installed, an internal certificate is automatically created for the user running setup on the local computer. The first time that the user logs on to the local computer in domain mode, Message Queuing automatically registers the certificate in the directory service provided the computer can communicate with a domain controller. For more information on creating and registering internal certificates, see the Message Queuing online Help.
Internal certificates are used when operating in a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain, where the sender identifier registered with the certificate is a SID. Without this SID, Message Queuing would not be able to authenticate who sent the message.
An internal certificate contains the public key and security identifier (SID) of the user who registered the certificate. Due to the fact that the SID is also attached to the message in its sender identifier property (PROPID_M_SENDERID or MSMQMessage.SenderId), the information in the certificate is of little use to the receiving application.
External Certificates
An external certificate is obtained from a certification authority (CA) that is trusted by the sending and receiving applications. External certificates are used when you send messages to operating environments other than the Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 family—environments where the sender's security identifier (SID) is meaningless. External certificates are also used when you are working in a workgroup environment or when you are working in a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain environment and want to use more than just the sender identifier attached to the message to validate who sent the message.
Each external certificate contains the public key of the sender along with additional information requested by the certification authority that created the certificate. This additional information is not used by Message Queuing, but it may be used by the receiving application to further validate who sent the message.
A receiving application can retrieve the certificate from a message as an array of bytes (blob) and then use CryptoAPI functions to validate its chain of trust. To do this, you must also install the external certificate on the receiving computer.
The information provided by external certificates is guaranteed by the certification authority that created the certificate. Message Queuing does not validate the information in the certificate.

Whether he's hunched over his six-string acoustic, eyes squeezed shut, or prowling around his mike stand like a caged jungle cat, the singer-songwriter is a riveting presence. And when he looks out at the audience, his hawklike gaze penetrates with the authority of a country preacher. With a voice that sounds like it's been marinated in sourmash and cigarettes, Holcombe sings incredibly personal tales about love, lust, work and good eats, his music steeped in the blues, folk and country of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where he was raised. Buoyed by the excellent 2006 CD Not Forgotten, Holcombe returns to the Bamboo Room, 25 S. J St., Lake Worth, at 9 p.m. Thursday. Admission $5; call 561-585-2583. He'll perform 8 p.m. Friday at Luna Star CafM-i, 775 NE 125th St., North Miami. Admission $10; call 305-799-7123.

Admired as a singer-songwriter, Grammy winner John Mayer is now showing off talents he had kept mostly under wraps before the release of his latest CD. On Continuum, Mayer also turns out to be a skillful electric guitarist with a Muscle Shoals sense of rhythm and a Clapton-esque flair for blues. His touring partner, singer and pianist Ben Folds, offers a more thorny and neurotic version of popcraft. But both are accomplished composers who also rate highly as players. Showtime is 7 p.m. Wednesday at Sound Advice Amphitheatre,
601-7 Sansbury's Way, West Palm Beach; 561-795-8883. Tickets $24.75-$ 53.50 through Ticketmaster (561-966-3309, 954-523-3309, 305-358-5885, ticket

Valentine's Day – that rose-covered, fancy dinner reservation, LOVE-filled holiday – is looming. But this year, may we suggest that you go and love yourself (as Justin Bieber croons)? And better yet, go on a trip to celebrate, well, you?
The 2018 Virtuoso Luxe Report, which found that two-thirds of the network's travel advisors foresee growth in solo travel this year, named five experiences for singles to fall in love with.
You're great company. Enjoy dinner at the world's smallest restaurant, with only one table. The waiter appears when summoned with a silver bell, and serves Italian specialties crafted from seasonal ingredients.
Rock out, no matter what your ability, and even if you "only sing in the shower." Join legends such as The Beatles and Pink Floyd and record a masterpiece at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios. Sound engineers, musical directors, musicians and vocal coaches provide all the support you need.
This is the most stylish way to love yourself. In Paris, arguably the world's most romantic city, single travelers in search of style inspiration can head to the finest boutiques with a fashion expert, reviewing trends, discovering designers, and building an enviable wardrobe.
Want to contemplate the theory of evolution? Do it with Charles Darwin's great-great-grandson, Chris. In 1836, Darwin's Australia visit helped shape his groundbreaking ideas. Today, walk in his legendary footsteps through the Blue Mountains, exploring the wildlife and landscapes that inspired him.
Learn the basics of traditional Thai drawing. Board a long-tail boat ride to an artist's village, where a painter will explain the time-honored local style and teach you the fundamentals of drawing.
Tip: Many companies are acknowledging the solo travel boom by waiving pricey single supplements. Look at companies like Abercrombie & Kent, Aqua Expeditions, Azamara Club Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Ponant, Royal Caribbean International, Tauck, and Zegrahm Expeditions, as they eliminate or lower the supplement on select trips.
You might travel alone, but plan your trip with the help of a Virtuoso advisor.

People living with dementia in care homes are failing to get the specialist care they require, according to research.
UCL researchers found that care homes, where the majority of people with dementia will die, were poorly served by secondary healthcare services.
The report said visiting GPs were not supported by specialist services, reflecting previous studies showing that nursing home residents received less planned and more emergency healthcare than those living in their own homes.
Dr Liz Sampson, Reader at UCL's Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department, said: "The system isn't currently fit for purpose. We need to see more resources provided in the community and nursing home staff receiving more support from external healthcare services."
Scott Sinclair, Head of Policy & Public Affairs in England for Marie Curie added: "For many people with advanced dementia, care homes are essentially playing the role of hospices but without any of the specialist support services that are available in a hospice. This is not fair to the residents and their families, or the care home staff who are unable to meet the needs of their residents."
While those with advanced dementia often suffered chronic pain and psychiatric symptoms that persisted over many months, they had little contact with specialist services such as palliative care, geriatrics or mental health.
Only 1% of people with advanced dementia were seen during the follow up period of the study by a geriatrician or an older persons' psychiatrist.
The researchers, from the Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Department at UCL, found that GPs were the main providers of medical care, with 96% of people with advanced dementia seeing a GP in their last month of life.

text: 10 Things To Do In Tahiti, French Polynesia 16 December, 2014 | by Vincent Simon | 5 CommentsThere are exactly 118 beautiful remote islands in the Pacific Ocean east of Australia. They were discovered rather late in comparison to the other parts of the world, around 1606, and the Occidental influence arrived quite slowly. Even now, this isolated piece of Earth seems untouched, immaculate.Before Europeans inhabited the land, it was populated by indigenous peoples of Tahiti known as Maohis, and as they are one of the most significant Polynesian peoples of Oceania, most of their culture and customs have been preserved. Their descendants keep on maintaining their traditions, not only for the eyes of tourists, but also because they truly value this heritage.A few things you have to know to make your trip to Tahiti smoother: currency in use there is the CFP franc, simply called franc in everyday use, its value is a little less than an American dollar for 100 francs. Of course you will travel there by plane, and arrive at the International Airport in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, also known as Tahiti Faa'a. Tahiti is also a popular cruise destination.Even if you have not booked a room before the trip, it is really easy to find accommodation in Tahiti even after you arrive. After you settle and unpack, it is time to explore all the beauties of this paradise, and if you are not sure what it has to offer, we have a list of 10 things to do in Tahiti .Beach at InterContinental Moorea Resort and Spa10 Things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia1. Islands of French PolynesiaThe islands are not that inhabited, as the most populated one has only 7000 people. Tahiti is famous for its beautiful beaches , but the fact is that they are deserted and seem to be reserved for tourists. Bora Bora is known for hosting the most beautiful atoll in the word, and it's worthy of its reputation, you can spend hours just watching at the ocean.Nunue on the Island of Bora Bora2. Famous NamesSome historic figures have spend a couple of their years in Tahiti like Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pierre Loti, Herman Melville, Stevenson, and Jack London. There is also and atoll named after Marlon Brando (some sequences of the movie Mutiny of the Bounty were shot there), that is today one of the world famous natural parks.3. Tahitian CuisineEnjoying local food is of course in our list of 10 things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia. It would be a pity to visit this amazing place and not try some of the local specialties, prepared in one of the best Tahitian restaurants. One of the most famous dishes prepared here is a raw fish in a marinade, that is best combined with lemon sauce and coco milk. Another world famous meal is Mahi Mahi, that is prepared with traditional meat like sea bream and served with vanilla or coco sauce.4. Relax and RecuperationWhen on a fairly deserted island, be sure to take your time and relax. You have been working all year long and you have deserved to sit back and relax for a while, as you are probably fiu, which stands for tired in Tahitian. There are numerous exclusive spa centers on the island that you can visit, rest for a while and forget about the worries that you have at home.On the other hand, for those adrenalin addicts, there are several activities you can try out.5. DivingAs the water is warm in Tahiti, with the temperature about 26 to 29 Celsius degrees all year long, it is known as one of the best places on Earth to go diving. You can choose between exploring the lagoon, with nothing but the tuba, where you can see jelly fish and colorful corals, and on the other hand you can swim in more open waters with dolphins and giant turtles. But be sure to hire a professional if you plan on swimming in the open sea, and that you have the proper equipment.Diving in French Polynesia6. SurfingIf you visit Tahiti between April and October, you definitely have to go surfing. This definitely is one of the best 10 things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia. Even if you have never done it before, you can go to the "pointe Venus", and later if you turn out to be good you can move to other beaches with the professionals. Tahiti also organizes an annual international contest in May at Teahupoo, where you can see some of the best surfers in the world. Just remember that if you do decide to surf you need to be extremely careful about your safety, so maybe the good thing would be to first talk to a professional.School of Fish7. Swimming with the DolphinsAnother item in our list of best 10 things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia is swimming with dolphins in Moorea, where they have pools specialized exclusively for this. Here you do not need to worry about your safety as dolphins are friendly and there are trainers and instructors that will guide you through entire experience.8. HikingOn Mount Pahia in Bora-Bora and Maupiti, some of the most beautiful islands of French Polynesia, you can go hiking and enjoy the views of the entire islands from when you get to the top. Be sure to hire a professional guide, as the tracks are not always indicated and it is quite easy to get lost. On your way you will see a lot of lizards and scorpions, but do not worry, they will not pose any threat to you.Country Scene in Tahiti9. Culture and FestivitiesVisiting the museum in Punaauia Te Fare Manaha is also one of the best 10 things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia. This place will give you some insight into the to Ma'ohi culture and it is only 15 kilometers away from the capital Papeete. Tahitians also have traditional festivities called Heiva that are held in July. What happens is that groups of singers, himene, and dancers meet every evening in To'ata to compete, while they play traditional drums called to'ere and pahu. Each group has its own act that is inspired by local legends.10. Star Gazing and the Southern CrossIf you are tired of city lights and you missed laying on your back looking at the stars, this is the right place to do it, as the skies are clear, there is no pollution, and the nights are warm and pleasant. While you are here you can look for the Southern Cross, the star that led the navigators on their voyages in the ancient times.Do you have other suggestions on your best 10 things to do in Tahiti, French Polynesia?

We Were Happy Being Friends With Benefits But Then, He Got Married To Someone Else
We Were Happy Being Friends With Benefits But Then, He Got Married To Someone Else
"We will stay as friends with benefits," he said. I agreed to the same. No commitment, no demands, and no expectations – what a comfortable arrangement to be in.
It's not that I am a very modern girl or that I have high physical needs. But my past relationship, where there were commitments and promises, went in vain, or rather I must say, shattered me into a thousand pieces. So this time, I didn't want to fall into that trap once again.
Nishant came into my life when I had given up on myself, lost in my own sorrows and regrets. We started off with a brief chatting session on a social networking site. As the time passed, we exchanged numbers and began talking to each other over the phone for hours.
Due to his past experiences, he had always maintained his distance. Sometimes, he wouldn't respond for weeks. But he always used to come back with his mischievous talks and that killer smile. As usual, I was swayed by him, but with a conscious knowledge that not just feelings, but that distance would also never connect the both of us.
We could never meet, with him being in Patna and I, in Delhi. He's an engineer and I am a doctor. However, our late night romance continued. But destiny had its own plans. Those romantic late night talks actually gave him an urge to go beyond something virtual, and we decided to meet.
We met, we spoke, and we kissed. But he wanted more of me and so did I. But all I could say to him was "Only when I am in love, I give the benefits."
We continued to talk. And somewhere in between, I had fallen for him. And we met again to fulfill our desires. But for me, it was the last meeting with him, because I knew I loved him. However, that hadn't become the end of us like I wanted. We had crossed paths again. But this time, it was our fate that pushed us together. I was working in Mumbai by then and even he was posted there. Our meetings became frequent. I was happy from within, as he was also there with me and distance wasn't a problem anymore.
One fine day, when we were drunk, I proposed to him. But all he said was that he didn't want any headache that love and relationships bring. The next day, all I could do was to pretend. Yet, our meetings continued.
Then came the shock of my life; he was getting married. I was shattered, but couldn't utter a word because we had no commitment.
I was aware of that fact but I couldn't hide my feelings. He consoled me by telling me that he will be there with me forever and we continued being intimate. I wanted to run away but I was too weak. He became my weakness. I just couldn't imagine my life without him. After his marriage, I tried to avoid him, but failed miserably. I knew he wanted to marry me but we couldn't be together because of us belonging to different castes.
All I knew was that I was having an affair with a married person. And it was at this moment that he confessed his love for me and pleaded me not to leave him. As a friend, I was there for him and will always be there. But, I don't want to hurt anyone. And here, I was hurting someone… his wife. Though she doesn't know anything about me, I know everything about her. And my love for Nishant, it will always be there.
I left Mumbai. And somewhere with the passage of time, I hope, even he might have wanted to continue his marital life peacefully. But he's still there within me. It's been more than 2 years, but I still love him. And couldn't marry anyone else.

Patrick, Kolkhorst unveil controversial 'bathroom bill'
AUSTIN – Setting up what looks to be one of the most heated fights for Texas lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst unveiled a long-awaited bill to regulate which bathrooms Texans may use in public buildings.
Senate Bill 6, called the Texas Privacy Act, would prohibit city or county officials from adopting an ordinance that prevents a business from making policies for their bathrooms and dressing rooms. It also would bar local officials from considering these measures when awarding government contracts.
Another part of the proposed legislation would require each locker room or restroom in government buildings, public schools and universities to be designated for use based on biological sex. The bill, which allows schools to make special accommodations, would authorize the attorney general to levy a civil penalty if they do not follow the regulations.
"This is a significant step for the majority of Texans who are alarmed by misguided efforts to shatter our expectations of security and privacy, especially for our children," the Republican from Brenham said. "Senate Bill 6 may have my name on it, but the responsibility falls on all of us to protect citizens and ensure that their personal and private rights are secured."
Story continues below.
She said her bill is a response to the Obama administration's letter sent to school districts last year that offered guidance on protecting the rights of transgender students. The letter said districts that do not comply with longstanding federal anti-discrimination laws, which the U.S. Justice and Education departments said extend to transgender students, could risk a revocation of federal funds or a lawsuit.
On Thursday, Kolkhorst said she filed the legislation "not to start a controversy but to end one."
The lieutenant governor, who said he had been working on the bill since September, has argued before that sexual predators may use trans-friendly bathroom policies to target potential victims. However, there never has been a reported case in Texas of someone using a nondiscrimination ordinance to go into a women's restroom and commit an assault.
"The Super Bowl is set for 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 7," Patrick said, responding to concerns from business groups in the state that the bill will stifle economic competitiveness. "We are the 10th largest economy in the world, and that's not going to change."
Patrick and the bill's Senate backers already have a fight on their hands less than a week before the start of the legislative session. A broad coalition of Democrats, pro-LGBT groups and business leaders, including the state's most powerful business lobby, oppose the measure that they argue will negatively impact Texas businesses of all sizes.
If Kolkhort's bill becomes law, the state's economy could take an $8.5 billion hit each year and put at risk at least 185,000 jobs, according to a study commissioned and released by the Texas Association of Business. The study said the measure would devastate Texas' tourism and travel industry, as well as make it harder for businesses to attract workers from other places.

My 12 year old kitty Boston was hospitalized with pancreatitis in May 2012($800), and shortly afterwards had biopsy to confirm Inflammatory Bowel Disease ($1500). With my $300 deductible met, Trupanion quickly paid 90% of those costs. They have continued to pay 90% of all medicines, x-rays, ultrasounds, surgeries, blood tests related to IBD. I've been able to spend literally thousands for Boston's care relating to IBD in the last 2+ years, because Trupanion is continuing to do what they said they would: pay 90% for related illness for the rest of his life. Thank heavens for Trupanion; because of them I still have my beautiful boy kitty.

By Ty Fischer
An innovator, design expert and industry leader, Stewart Reed, Chair of the Transportation Design Department at ArtCenter, is considered one of the leading experts on automotive design trends. Reed has designed and developed more than 30 concept vehicles throughout his career and has consulted for companies including Michelin, Icon Aircraft, Herman Miller, Nissan, Hyundai, Ford and Lockheed Martin. We visited the ArtCenter campus to find out Reed's thoughts on auto design, self-driving cars and the future of art in motion design.
Q: What are some of the trends that you see right now in automotive design?
SR: There are so many trends right now because the automobile is such a marvelous, complex product and there are new trends in almost every area of science. Materials science, manufacturing and fabrication techniques, powertrain, the list goes on. In almost every single area there are astonishing things happening. A lot of people think that by 2030 everything is going to be electric. But what's interesting is that the best estimates are maybe 25% could be electric. So what about the other 75%? There are going to be a lot of choices still, and methods of energy production and storage.
Q: Where do you see self-driving cars in the future?
SR: I'm really excited about the premise of automation. I just think about the whole premise of automation and it being so liberating to parts of the population that don't have access to mobility right now. I think about, for example, when my father got to where he couldn't drive anymore. Putting my father into that position, he would continue to have access to things and activity with automation. Or people with medical issues, or the very young population. It's really exciting and I think also, the opportunity to better utilize the complex infrastructure in urban areas; it'll be faster, it'll be safer.
Q: How do you see creativity and art impacting the automotive industry as a whole?
SR: Well I think human beings that craft useful objects for themselves, whether they're planes, trains, automobiles for transportation, or whether they're part of our habitat or even the useful objects we live with, they all need to celebrate a certain level of beauty, craft and joyfulness. Some people say it isn't pure fine art if it's a functional object. But I would question that. I would say a beautiful ancient harp or violin is an object that has a function, but it's undeniably an artful object.
Q: What are some of the challenges you see facing the auto industry moving forward?
SR: I think one of the big things for what we term the auto industry as it is today, is just the extreme complexity of the whole thing. If you go all the way through from the idea, through design, engineering, to the factory environment, and then follow it through the complex dealer networks and the service environment and then carrying service parts ten years beyond, the whole thing is super complex.
So I think there's a challenge for us as engineers and designers to think about ways to improve the whole process so that there's more of an elegant simplicity to the way things go together. Electrification is one example. I think we've been able to reduce the parts count substantially with an electric drive train over other things, so that's great. But ideally if we can leverage new manufacturing processes and new tools we can simplify things and even add more kind of choice to people at both the private ownership level and choice for alternative transportation. I see a bright future with more options, more choice.
Q: Looking to the future, what do you see on the horizon for the automotive and auto design industries?
SR: Some would say that autonomous vehicles is what we'll all be herded into, that it's going to be a bleak future. There are car enthusiasts that are very concerned that the joy of driving will be gone, that you won't have a steering wheel in front of you. I disagree with that, quite honestly. I think there will continue to be choice and that the whole idea of an automobile was a freedom machine to give people choice over the stage coaches, the rail lines and the steam ships. It was "go anywhere you want to go, anytime." So I'd like to be optimistic that that's where the future will be. That we'll have more choices, more mobility, more access, and more freedom. That's what makes automotive design in particular so exciting, because it is the sum total of art, business and science all together.

Nail Gun
|Uses ammo
|85 (Ranged)
|0 (No knockback)
|Critical chance
|Use time
|15 (Very fast)
|1 required
- Internal Item ID: 3107
The Nail Gun is a Hardmode, post-Plantera ranged weapon which has a 4% / 7.84% (1/25 / 49/625) chance to drop from Nailhead during Solar Eclipses. It uses Nails as ammunition, which are sold by both the Merchant and the Arms Dealer when the player has the Nail Gun in their inventory for 1 each.
When a Nail hits an enemy, it sticks to it. It deals low damage on impact, but explodes after roughly 2 seconds, dealing massive damage. The Nails also stick to surfaces and explode in the same manner. The explosion does not damage the shooter. Nails are unaffected by gravity until they have flown roughly 30 blocks, at which point they fly with an arc similar to that of an arrow. If used in PvP, the nails will not stick to players and will instead deal damage somewhere in between the initial damage and the explosion's damage.
Its best modifier is Demonic or Deadly, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- If an enemy dies while Nails are still stuck into it, these Nails will pop out, sticking to other surfaces or enemies and exploding like usual.
- It is considered a launcher for the purposes of Shroomite armor.
- When a Moon Lord eye closes with nails on it, the nails will pop out.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Nail Gun might be a reference to the weapon Nailgun of the same name from Quake, as it has a somewhat similar look, initial damage, and inability to knock enemies back.
- When fired in the air with the archery buff in velocity, it actually takes 60% of the buff's modifier longer to fall instead of speeding up.
History[edit | edit source]
- Desktop 184.108.40.206: Introduced.
- Console 1.0.933.1: Introduced. ()
- Console 1.0.750.0: Introduced. ()

After working through the weekend to pare down a proposed school tax increase following the failure of the Board of Education to introduce a budget last Thursday, board member agreed on a tentative spending plan at an emergency meeting Monday night which eliminates 10 jobs but keeps tax hikes closer to the state-imposed 2 percent cap.
Originally, a proposed budget for the 2016-17 school year raised expenditures by $7.1 million and taxes by $5.7 million. A revised budget introduced Monday increases spending by $3,069,056 and raises taxes by $2,298,604, including debt service payments.
"We are still five weeks from needing a final number," said Interim Superintendent Thomas Gialanella.
Savings over the budget that was proposed last week was achieved by eliminating 10 positions and switching to full self-insurance for employee health benefits.
"Fairview Insurance Agency would like to propose to the board that we consider going self-insured for our medical," Business Administrator Jim Edwards said.
Fairview was appointed in February to act as the district's insurance broker, replacing Conner Strong & Buckelew, whose contract was canceled during the first meeting of 2016 when a new board majority took office. Part of the confusion over the tax rate, Edwards said, is because Fairview has only been Brick's broker for three weeks and is still calculating and projecting Brick's employee benefits costs. The new firm also estimated that Brick's prescription benefits would cost $6.4 million in 2016, down from an original projection of $6.8 million, Edwards said.
Under full self-insurance, the district would select a third-party administrator to oversee coverage, but would directly pay the cost of individual medical claims. Such a switch would likely save about $3 million, Edwards said, reducing medical benefits costs from $24 million to $21 million.
The staffing cuts would go into effect next school year.
"We feel that we can reduce staff, in total, by 10 people," Gialanella said. "That's probably a little bit more than I would like, but we still have five weeks to work on those numbers and finalize those numbers."
The specific positions under consideration to be cut were not revealed at the meeting, but Gialanella said they consist of administrators, teachers and paraprofessionals.
Under the proposed budget, expenditures would increase by about 2.2 percent and the tax levy would increase by 2.36 percent, both over the state's 2 percent cap. The district, however, did not raise taxes or expenditures to the full amount allowed under the cap over the past three years, providing a loophole under which this year's budget could apply the difference without triggering a referendum vote. Edwards said the budget uses $352,483 in banked cap funding.
The budget will be up for a final vote and public hearing April 28 at the Board of Education's regular meeting at Brick Township High School.

Distributing the Game State of Online Games: Towards an NDN Version of Minecraft
by Philipp Moll, Sebastian Theuermann, Hermann Hellwagner, and Jeff Burke
Online games nowadays play an undeniably important role in the entertainment industry. The continuously increasing popularity of these services goes hand in hand with increased complexity of technical challenges. The networking part of current games relies on decades-old technologies, which were never intended to be used for today's large-scale online games. Replacing the currently used connection-oriented networking approach by a content-centric architecture could yield advantages reaching beyond only avoiding inefficiencies found in IP-based online games. We propose a concept for a distributed Minecraft architecture, making use of these advantages by utilizing Named Data Networking (NDN) as the architectural basis. Our design decisions were guided by the insights we gained from examining Minecraft as a representative of current online games.

311 manages the service request data for City of Windsor departments and divisions represented in this dataset. As such, 311 consulted the participating divisions and subject matter experts for this release. This dataset is extracted electronically from the 311 customer request management system.
This data represents only a portion of overall City of Windsor services and the number and location of service requests will not be representative of the full range of services provided by the City of Windsor. This data represents requests for service entered into the 311 system initiated from the customer's perspective based on the description provided by the customer at the time of contact with 311. However, during the request fulfillment process, it could be determined that the customer's request may not be valid or may need to be adjusted. For example, a request for a tree trim is made, but upon investigation by the Forestry Department it is determined that the tree is on private property and therefore the responsibility of the property owner to maintain. Review of data should take into consideration the urban attributes and context of the issue being reported, such as vegetation density, population density, age of infrastructure asset, zoning and applicable by-laws, and it should also be noted that multiple reports may be received for the same issue, which can influence results.
The 311 service creates requests on behalf of the customer and forwards it to the appropriate department or division for action.
