JavaOne: The Eclipse Inside
I spent last week at JavaOne in San Francisco, and I thought I would share a few things about the event that might be of interest to the Eclipse community.
First I should mention that I thought the buzz at the conference was the best that I've felt for years. It was certainly the best since Oracle acquired Java, but it was also better than the last couple of Sun-run events. Back in those days, all the loud music and hype on the planet couldn't hide Sun's lack of vision and investment in the Java platform. I'm not saying that everything is perfect in Javaland, but things are certainly moving in the right direction.
On one hand, it would be fair to say that there wasn't a lot of Eclipse at this year's JavaOne. The Eclipse Foundation did not have a booth in the exhibit hall. There weren't a lot of sessions, and Oracle does seem to love to talk about NetBeans. Other than 10-year-old Aditya Gupta's "hacking Minecraft" demo in the Thursday community spotlight, I don't think there was a mention of Eclipse in any of the keynotes.
But in some ways, this was the best JavaOne for Eclipse ever. In fact, there was Eclipse inside a couple of the most talked about projects at the show.
- Did you know that we (sort of) won our community's first Duke Award? The Open Home Automation Bus (openHAB) project was recognized for its creative and innovative uses of Java technology. You can read more from Kai Kreuzer's blog post.
"Contributors to the openHAB project have developed a Java-based home automation solution, which includes a runtime based on the Equinox OSGi runtime and Eclipse Jetty web server and a scripting language for easily defining automation logic. openHAB provides a central integration point for developers to integrate devices and applications into the solution."
If this sounds familiar, it should, because within the next couple of weeks the core of openHAB will be moving to Eclipse and becoming the Eclipse Smart Home project.
- In the opening JavaOne keynote, and again in the Thursday morning IoT keynote at OpenWorld, Oracle highlighted a very cool people counter M2M application developed for the conference by Eurotech and Hitachi which used doorway sensors to track the movement of people through the conference. The application was built with Java, OSGi and MQTT technologies. In other words, it showcased Eclipse Paho (MQTT), Mosquitto (soon to be Eclipse Mosquitto), and the OSGi-based device gateway frameworks which Eurotech has proposed to contribute to the Eclipse Kura project. The M2M/IoT community at Eclipse is growing very quickly, and it was great to see so much of its potential being highlighted at JavaOne.
So all-in-all, I would say that the Eclipse community played a low-key but darn cool role at JavaOne 2013.
Embracing Social Coding at Eclipse
The Eclipse Foundation is going to start allowing its projects to host their mainline development on third party forges such as GitHub, and (eventually) Bitbucket. This means that an Eclipse project will be able to leverage the great development tools provided by those vendors. The first project that we are going to work with on this is Vert.x, which has been hosted on GitHub since its inception. Our intent is to start small, and continually improve this program and our support of it. This is an important new option for open source projects which have matured to the point where vendor-neutral governance, meritocratic processes and proper intellectual property management have become important for future growth and adoption.
It's hard to believe that it was almost two years ago when Mikeal Rogers penned his "Apache Considered Harmful" post, stirring a decent amount of controversy at the time. Although I disagreed with many of Mikeal's points, his key point that open source foundations need to change to maintain their relevance resonated strongly with us in the Eclipse community. We listened, we're learning, and we've been working hard to change our processes and infrastructure to stay relevant for open source developers. Here are a few examples:
- We switched to git: Last December 21st we shut off CVS at Eclipse, and we have migrated basically all of Eclipse to git. (There are a few projects still on Subversion.) Using a modern distributed version control system at Eclipse has already helped a great deal in increasing contributions and reducing barriers to contribution to our projects. Among other things, it has allowed us to mirror Eclipse projects on github, which has attracted some interest from the development community there.
- We adopted Gerrit: Using git has also allowed us to start using the Gerrit code review tool at Eclipse, which has been a great addition to our contribution workflow.
- We implemented the project management infrastructure (PMI): We now have a database-backed system which tracks all of our project metadata, such as committer lists, release dates, project plans, and the like.
- We started using contributor license agreements (CLA): Using CLAs further reduces the barriers to contribution, as we no longer have to have a discussion on each contribution about the IP rights.
The last two of those items are extremely important because they put us in a situation where we can begin to automate workflows, thereby reducing the amount of effort by our commmitters and contributors. So, for example, by the end of June we will have automated the CLA check on all of our contributions which flow to us via Gerrit, or directly into our git repositories. We will have all of the data in place to determine that the author, committer, and signed-by fields on a contribution map to a person who is either a committer or who has signed the Eclipse Foundation CLA.
And then along came Vert.x.
Early in January 2013, there was a very active discussion about the future of the Vert.x project. The project had reached a point in its progress where it was clear that it should move to a vendor-neutral home. After quite a bit of discussion, the Vert.x community decided that the Eclipse Foundation would make a good home. The discussion was particularly interesting because the relative merits of moving to Eclipse, Apache, OuterCurve and the Software Conservancy were debated in an open and flame-free manner. Now that the Eclipse Foundation is open to projects which are implemented in any language or technology, without requiring linkages to our eponymous IDE, it is a good home for innovative new projects like Vert.x.
Since its inception, Vert.x has been hosted on GitHub, and is one of the most watched Java projects there. During the process of discussing how to migrate Vert.x to the Eclipse Foundation, we had a bit of an epiphany: if Eclipse projects could mirror to GitHub, what would happen if we simply flipped things around and mirrored projects hosted at GitHub on eclipse.org's git repos? After some discussion, we decided that this was a really good idea. Complementing the great developer infrastructure at GitHub with the governance and meritocratic processes that an open source foundation like Eclipse brings to the table will be the best of both worlds for some projects.
Projects which choose to take advantage of this will be hosting their mainline development remotely, but all of their code will be mirrored back to Eclipse's git repositories. The full Eclipse development and IP processes will be applied to these projects. Project metadata, plans, committer records and votes will be maintained in the Eclipse project management infrastructure (PMI). Admin rights to the repos will be owned by the Eclipse Foundation webmaster team.
Initially, most of this will be maintained manually, but over time we expect to automate a great deal of it. For example, initially checking that a pull request's author has signed an Eclipse CLA will be done manually by the project committer accepting the contribution. Over time that will be automated using git commit hooks. We will continue to automate these interfaces, so that things like committer lists, etc. will be automatically updated based on changes in our PMI.
The last year and a half have been extremely busy at the Eclipse Foundation, as we have done a lot of work to modernize our infrastructure, and to make it more attractive than ever to become part of the Eclipse community. This is part of an on-going effort to remain relevant as the expectations of developers and open source committers rapidly evolve.
If you are interested in learning more about this, please read our FAQ.
Eclipse Contributor License Agreements Are Live
As we started talking about back in February, the Eclipse Foundation is doing a major overhaul of our IP processes. With the Kepler release now firmly in its end-game, the time has come to start rolling this out.
In February, I identified three major pieces of work that needed to get done:
- First, we are going to implement Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) for all contributors at Eclipse. The CLA will be a short document that essentially asks The Three Questions once. We will collect some information about the contributor so that we have a record on file of who is giving us code or documentation. Note that the Eclipse Foundation CLA will be quite different from those in use at other organizations. For example, Apache's CLAs basically give the ASF a license equivalent to ownership for contributions. The Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA) used by OpenJDK community gives Oracle joint ownership of contributions. The Eclipse CLA is much more modest. In terms of licenses, all it says is that the contributor agrees that their contributions will be provided under the license(s) for the project they're contributing to. You can review and discuss the draft CLA on bug 401349.
- Second, we are going to support signed-off-by for contributions which flow to Eclipse project via git and Gerrit. The goal here is to make it as simple as possible for Eclipse projects to accept contributions via the community best practices which have grown up around git. As part of this, we will be developing a contributor certificate of originality, inspired by the one used by the Linux community.
- And finally, we are going to automate as much of this workflow as possible. Our CLAs will be presented and completed on-line. There will be Gerrit support so committers get an immediate indication as to whether a contributor has a CLA on file. There will be git triggers which will reject a commit where there is no CLA on file for the author of the code commit.
Ever since then, we've been working on getting all of the pieces lined up to go live with these capabilities. Today is the first step!
The Eclipse Contributor License Agreement is now live. This means that contributors can execute a CLA, and get theirs on file. Committers will be able to use the PMI (project management infrastructure) to look up whether a particular contributor has a CLA on file. So starting immediately, you will be able to refer to a CLA rather than asking the "three questions" on a bug. This is basically delivering on the first item above.
For the second item, the Eclipse Foundation Contributor's Certificate of Origin has been published, and contributors and committers should start using the signed-by option with git.
In order for a contributor to sign their CLA, they need to do the following:
- Obtain and Eclipse Foundation userid. Anyone who currently uses our Bugzilla or Gerrit systems already has one of those. If they don't, they need to register.
- Login into the projects portal, select "My Account", and then the "Contributor License Agreement" tab.
The day after Kepler ships — Thursday, June 27th — we will deliver on the third item, which is automation. On that day, we will start automatically enforcing CLAs. This means that every time a contribution arrives at one of our git repositories (including Gerrit), the author field will be checked to ensure that there is a CLA or Committer Agreement on file for the author. If there isn't, the contribution will be rejected.
Community Review of the Eclipse Public License
The Eclipse Public License, and its predecessor the Common Public License have been in existence for around 12 years now. A lot has changed since the EPL's introduction in 2004, and the time has come for a review to ensure it remains current. As a result, we are going to kick off a public process to solicit input on the license, and discuss possible revisions. Once we've arrived at a set of revisions which have a broad support, the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors would have to unanimously approve the new version. And, of course, any revisions would be submitted to the Open Source Initiative to have them certified as compliant with the Open Source Definition.
I don't want to steer the conversation in any particular direction, but as a sampler of issues, here are a couple:
- The distinction drawn between object code and source code aren't really helpful when you're talking about scripting languages like JavaScript.
- The use of the term "module" is confusing to some.
There are a few things that we already know we don't want to change. First and foremost is that the EPL will remain a copyleft license. Another is that we want to continue to enable a commercially-licensed ecosystem based on Eclipse technologies.
We are going to be starting these discussions soon on the email@example.com mailing list (subscribe here), and will be tracking individual issues in the Eclipse Foundation/Community/License component in the Eclipse bugzilla.
If you are interested in the future of Eclipse licensing, please join in the conversation!
The EPL as a Platform License
Yesterday's announcement of the OpenDaylight project has gotten very wide coverage. It looks like a well-done announcement, and the industry support for this important new collaboration is stellar. Yet another great example of how open source is facilitating collaboration on new and innovative industry platforms.
In my opinion, one important detail of the announcement has not received sufficient notice:
OpenDaylight … is structured and governed using open source best practices and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL)…
So OpenDaylight is flying in the face of a lot of recent conventional wisdom that the Apache License is the default license of choice for new industry collaborations. (See here here and here.) Frankly, I thought I would see pigs fly before seeing Microsoft fully participating in an EPL-licensed open source community.
I think that this could be the start of a new trend, because as we've seen platform fragmentation in the Android ecosystem is becoming bit of an object lesson for the industry.
The EPL has a couple of really important features that make it a particularly good platform license. It strikes the perfect balance between the competing interests of the collaborative community who is building the code, and the commercial interests who want to use that code in their products and services.
- The EPL is copyleft, which means that if a company forks the code to further their interests, they need to make that code available under the EPL. This is a powerful incentive to simply do the work in the main project, in collaboration with the other players.
- The EPL is commercially friendly, allowing corporations to build products on top of EPL-licensed code and use their own End User License Agreement when selling to their customers. This provides the ability for companies to leverage EPL-licensed open source code in traditional software business models.
The combinations of those two main features has been a big part of the success of the Eclipse community. We've seen remarkably few forks at Eclipse (aka fragmentation), while enjoying massive amounts of commercial adoption of our technologies. Will the OpenDaylight announcement make other industry open source collaborations think a little bit harder about their license choices? Time will tell, but I think this could be an interesting trend to watch.
Public Review Drafts of New IP Documents Now Posted
A few weeks ago, I talked about a major overhaul of our IP processes. As part of that, we have posted our Public Review Drafts of our Eclipse Foundation Contributor License Agreement (CLA) and our Contributor's Certificate of Originality (CoO).
I was asked why we needed both documents. I will repeat the explanation here:
The two documents are complementary.
The CLA is something that a contributor signs, and is a legal agreement.
The CoO is a statement that clarifies what we expect from contributors when they use the "signed-off-by" feature in git.
There is a saying that many lawyers use: "belts and suspenders". Yes, there is some overlap between these two approaches, but there since the DCO is not something that a contributor is expected to sign, I don't think that it adds any extra burden to the process.
Your comments and feedback would be greatly appreciated. However, please don't do it in the comments here. We would prefer the community's feedback on bug 401349.
Update: s/DCO/CoO/ in blockquote.
A Major Overhaul of Eclipse's IP Process: CLAs, signed-off-by and more
I'm very happy to announce that we are going to be making some fairly significant changes to the workflows and processes around how contributions flow into Eclipse projects, and how Eclipse committers will process them. The good news is that we think that the new approaches are going to make things a lot easier for everyone. For more details, you can take a look at the presentation I did at a recent Architecture Council meeting.
First, a quick summary of how contributions come into Eclipse today.
- A contributor makes some changes to an Eclipse project and sends them to Eclipse for review and acceptance by an Eclipse committer. The first complication is that there are several different ways that can happen: contributions can come as push to Gerrit, or a patch in Bugzilla. Which means that the conversations about contributions can occur in multiple places.
- Assuming the committer likes the contribution and wants to take it, they are then required to ask the contributor "The Three Questions" on either Gerrit or Bugzilla. The Three Questions are:
- Did you author 100% of the content you're contributing?
- Do you have the rights to contribute this content to Eclipse?
- Are you willing to contribute the content under the project's license(s) (e.g. EPL)
The problem with this approach is that it's very manual, error prone, and annoying. In particular, asking a prolific contributor the same three questions each and every time they try to help you out is just not helpful. It is particularly annoying in the context of the normal git workflows, where there there are numerous conventions for dealing with contributions.
So here's how we are going to make it better:
- First, we are going to implement Contributor License Agreements (CLAs) for all contributors at Eclipse. The CLA will be a short document that essentially asks The Three Questions once. We will collect some information about the contributor so that we have a record on file of who is giving us code or documentation. Note that the Eclipse Foundation CLA will be quite different from those in use at other organizations. For example, Apache's CLAs basically give the ASF a license equivalent to ownership for contributions. The Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA) used by OpenJDK community gives Oracle joint ownership of contributions. The Eclipse CLA is much more modest. In terms of licenses, all it says is that the contributor agrees that their contributions will be provided under the license(s) for the project they're contributing to. You can review and discuss the draft CLA on bug 401349.
- Second, we are going to support signed-off-by for contributions which flow to Eclipse project via git and Gerrit. The goal here is to make it as simple as possible for Eclipse projects to accept contributions via the community best practices which have grown up around git. As part of this, we will be developing a contributor certificate of originality, inspired by the one used by the Linux community.
- And finally, we are going to automate as much of this workflow as possible. Our CLAs will be presented and completed on-line. There will be Gerrit support so committers get an immediate indication as to whether a contributor has a CLA on file. There will be git triggers which will reject a commit where there is no CLA on file for the author of the code commit.
There are a ton of details to be worked out, not least of which is the timetable to roll all of this out. Stay tuned for that. If you want to get involved in the conversation, please join in on bug 401236.
Update: fixed typo "we think we think" in the first paragraph.

performance is comparable to others, was looking for good performance and good quality with them being Chicago bears team logo... After wearing them for one day and listening to music, the orance C for Chicago, symbol rubbed right off.. very disappointed about this, the C is now white..so they look un authentic , which is the reason for paying more money for these for my son.. Im very disappointed in these ear buds, and will not buy anymore as I had intended to do...
I bought these about a week ago. They are really good. The noise cancelling feature is excellent. I bought these because of the Redskins logo. The ear bud replacements are a bonus. I would definitely recommend these to my friends.
For the price, these are not only awesome with the team logo...but the sound is great for the monty and they ahve a comfortable fit!
My son loves them, Good quality and value for the money
only one ear bud worked and i have no time to exchange before christmas

Ten Days and Beyond
Ten days after my first hundred. My ankle (front of ankle where leg meets foot) was pain free for the first time today. They, especially the right one, were swollen to grotesque proportions for a couple days after the race. Now I feel back to normal and eager to race again. The dilemma is whether to race the boulder 100 miler. With the Antelope 100k just 4.5 weeks away, I'd like to show up there strong but would really like to run boulder (boring as it may be) well. As flat as boulder is I should be fine running it and then have three weeks to get up for antelope. I feel like I'm trying to atone for a soft year, both in performance and quantity. I'm already looking forward to next year's schedule that includes three 100 milers, to be determined but with the following on the board: western states (pipe dream and WAY too expensive - someone's getting greedy!), Big Horn, Leadville, Wasatch, and Bear. Something about the 100 mile distance rings true in my soul and gave me motivation to keep running the longer distance events.

Husband and wife duo Tabora and Toy Laster, owners of Choice Training Group Fitness, electrify the studio with their characteristic energy. Whether they're dressing up in hokey hula shirts to promote Zumba fitness parties or bringing in guest instructors to host self-defense sessions, the two aim to create a gym that feels like an inclusive club.
Newbies and old hats jump into a diverse set of classes, ranging from group fitness and boot camp, to pole-dancing sessions in the Kandy & Krome room, a mirror-lined, pole-bestrewn sanctuary for flirty fitness. Alongside high-energy cardio classes such as Belly Dance Fusion, Absolute Abs, or Zumba, the studio hosts bachelorette parties, couples massage sessions, and workshops on effective methods for releasing stress.
Power House of Dance's experienced instructors teach feet of any age how to tap, twirl, and tip-toe through a multitude of classes. Boasting two studios lined with mirrors that reveal the fairest dancer of all, the crew of artistic movers guides grownups through their choice of five classes selected from a flexible schedule, with styles including hip hop, ballroom, and yoga. A modern contemporary class introduces dancers 10 and older to routines packed with expressive flourishes while a ballet course challenges physiques to perfect grand jetes and pirouettes until they are as graceful as a swan on ice skates.
When Dancing With the Stars' contestants Emmitt Smith, Mark Cuban, Michael Irvin, and Jake Pavelka needed a place to sharpen their rug-cutting capabilities, Cheryl Burke told them to look no further than Studio 22. Studio 22's talented instructors even performed on Dancing With the Stars in October of 2012. Founded by internationally ranked Latin dancing couple Sergey Korshunov and Michelle Hafle, the studio lassos a stable of instructors handpicked from the highest levels of professional competition. Their group classes and private lessons give beginners and seasoned dancers alike the opportunity to polish their performance in styles as diverse as Argentine tango, salsa, ballroom, swing, and country and western.
The 6,200-square-foot studio accommodates classes of every size with its rich wooden floors, wall-length mirrors, and plush leather seating with which to rest feet between exercises and build forts whenever the instructor leaves the room. Studio 22 also hosts weekly dance parties that give students a chance to take new partners for a twirl in convivial, BYOB soirées.
Instructor Michael Angelo Mendez has some advice for beginners: "Have patience, focus, and dedication. You are learning how to speak a new language. The language of dance."
After years of training, this is a language in which Michael is now fluent. He began dancing as a child in Chicago, and eventually studied ballet, modern, and African dance at Columbia College. At Dance Academy of Salsa in Dallas, he leads private and group lessons to help share his dance expertise with interested students. He specializes in a variety of styles, including salsa, bachata, and cha-cha.
MoveStudio, an adults-only fitness and relaxation center, fills its 6,200 square feet of space with specially-crafted floating wood floors, soft lighting, and modern decor. Instead of pounding away on fitness machines, exercisers jump into more than 65 group classes designed to get bodies moving.
Pilates Core Fusion tones abs and backs, and the Raise the Barre! ballet workout strengthens even the smallest muscles. Energetic Zumba sessions combine fun dance moves with music to blast calories, as does belly dancing and the Burlesque Shimmy & Tone class. After an intense workout, exercisers head to the infrared sauna for relaxation and therapeutic heat.
In order to give its patrons some time away from the kids to work out and discuss TIF districts, MoveStudio only accommodates people 15 and older. Though there are no onsite childcare facilities, it does partner with a nearby gym and kids' center to offer discounted childcare.
At Harbour Dance Centre, aspiring hoofers trip the light fantastic under the tutelage of a world-renowned faculty that helped make the facility the Best Dance Studio in Vancouver in 2010, according to the readers of Georgia Straight. The studio's schedule abounds with more than 95 drop-in classes, separated into seven different levels so no neophytes need feel uncomfortable or overbust their moves. Students can strike picturesque poses in ballet, throw down serve-worthy hip-hop moves, and express their inner happiness and hunger pangs via modern and contemporary movements. Untraditional dance styles such as funky street jazz and sultry burlesque belly dancing provide a fun retreat from the common kick-ball-change, and yoga classes keep dancing bodies in tip-top form.

Nawww. I love this page for the bright happy photos. The entire page is so reflective of the little kid that Jamie was during 2011. I reckon I created half a dozen pages from this Toy Box line (Crate Paper) last year. It was totally my favourite product. And it showed, as all of the pages I made using it were picked up for publication.
2011 saw me introducing more mixed-media techniques to my work. One of my resolutions at the start of last year was to incorporate more stamping into my pages. On this layout the background is stamped. I love how it worked out.
More mixed media work here. There are a few reasons this page made my top 10. The memory of Jamie as a little guy running around the garden picking flowers, the painting on the background, the cute chipboard, and my favourite letter stickers all in combination on the same page :).
Aaaah. I love it when I get a chance to do a girly scrapbook page. This layout draws comparisons between the hobbies that mum and my sister and I had as children. I love this page for the story I captured, the old photos, and of course the chance to use flowers, flowers, flowers! I also used walnut ink to paint around the edges of papers to age them and loved the look.
A journaling heavy page! This one compares Jamies childhood toys with mine as a kid. I love the memories on here. I also love the colours, the vintage feel, and the gorgeous embellishments.
This layout was so simple! And it's one of my favourites. A bit of glimmermist slapped on with a wet paintbrush, a printed frame, a Prima vine and voila! The title and the photo really say it all! I love this clean and simple look. It is a look that I think I might be trying more of in 2012.
A mixed-media canvas for my sister. This project was a delight to create. Tissue paper covered canvas. Acrylic paints. Stamping. Misting. Patterned paper hearts. Loads of charcoal shading. Embellishments. Handwritten title (another thing that I enjoyed adding to my pages last year!).I am inspired to explore hearts as a motif in 2012.
One of the last pages I made last year. Stream of consciousness journaling about what was happening in my life at that moment. I created the chipboard window frame from an old piece of chipboard (you know, the piece you get on the back of a note pad). Just ruled it up and cut it out with a craft knife. Nearly everything on here started out as a nude beige colour. Then I misted and coloured, and misted and coloured.This would be one of my favourite colour combos!


text: KHQ.COM - Authorities want to warn you about a level 3 sex offender. He's identified as 66-year-old Carroll L. Pollard. He lives in the 19200 block of E. Buckeye in Otis Orchards. Pollard is under DOC supervision for life. In May of 2003 he was convicted of rape of a child in the second degree. In October of 1986 he was convicted of unlawful imprisonment. The Spokane County WA Sheriff's Office is releasing the following information pursuant to RCW 4.24.550, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender release when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety and protection. The individuals who appear on such notifications have been convicted of a sex offense that requires registration with the Sheriff's Office in the county of their residence. Further, their previous criminal history places them in a classification level which reflects the potential to reoffend. This individual has served the sentence imposed on them by the courts. HE/SHE IS NOT WANTED BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THIS TIME. THIS NOTIFICATION IS NOT INTENDED TO INCREASE FEAR; RATHER IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AN INFORMED PUBLIC IS A SAFER PUBLIC. Law Enforcement has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he/she chooses.

As I've listened to music spawned from the realms of Twisted, I've come across various sounds or samples that appear in separated albums. For instance, the distorted laughter at the end of Monster Hit sounds like some laughter from the beginning of Gamma Goblins pt. 2. Also, the slurpy sucking noise in New Way to Say Hooray is present in Connoisseur of Hallucination.
What other have you guys found?

Ice Climbing stars to coach youth at championship 17 Nov 2009 Final preparations are underway for the inaugural UIAA European Ice Climbing Youth Championship. The event in Saas Grund, Switzerland, will include a competition on January 16, 2010 followed by a unique opportunity for the young athletes to learn from the sport's elite on the "Coaching with the Stars" day on January 17 (application form). Former World Cup champions, Ines Papert and Urs Odermatt, will be in Saas Grund to pass on their knowledge and "tricks of the trade". Papert will also give a talk on January 17 in the neighbouring resort of Saas Fee. In the following interview, the former women's champion tells the UIAA why there is no gain without pain.
Why have you decided to support the European Ice Climbing Youth Championship? Ines Papert: I didn't receive any support when I was a competitor, and so it was often difficult to organise my preparation and decide how I should train. I would like to see the youth of today receive more support – and that will be my contribution in Saas Grund. I'd like to pass on the lessons I've learned to the motivated youth. What will be your main message to the participants? I.P.: Training isn't very exciting until it starts "to hurt." I was taught that by my climbing friend, Hari Berger (Ice Climbing World Champion, died in accident, winter 2006). And despite the pain it really is a lot of fun. I can only motivate myself to the limit when I train with friends. I will describe my personal training programme, and put its elements into practice with the participants. I'm looking forward to it. As an Ice Climber what do you enjoy most about competing in a World Cup event? I.P.: Looking forward to seeing the other athletes, but also the party. Of course, the climbing is itself a main attraction – and the best part is winning:-)
Ice Climbing is still a relatively unknown sport. How do you see the future of the sport? I.P.: My experience shows that it's not enough to be a good climber at competitions to get noticed by the media. Of course titles are highly valued by the public but we could do a better job marketing ourselves, calling attention to climbing feats and the achievement of exceptional routes. That would generate a lot more publicity. The Ice Climbing World Cup has given me a solid base for a passion that I can now live out to the fullest – climbing in natural surroundings. I've come to appreciate both. (In February 2008, Ines Papert became the first women to climb Switzerland's 'Flying Circus M10', one of the legendary mixed routes, exactly 10 years after the first ascent by Robert Jasper.) |

Introducing Australia
Island, country, continent… Australia is a big'un whichever way you spin it. The essence of the place is diversity: deserts, coral reefs, tall forests, snow-cloaked mountains and multicultural melting-pot cities.
Hip Cities Most Australians live along the coast, and most of these folks live in cities. In fact, Australia is the 18th-most urbanised country in the world, with around 70% of Australians living in the 10 largest towns. It follows that cities here are a lot of fun! Sydney, the sun-kissed Harbour City, is a glamorous collusion of beaches, boutiques and bars. Melbourne is all arts, alleyways and Australian Rules football. Brisbane is a subtropical town on the way up; Adelaide has festive grace and pubby poise. Boomtown Perth breathes west-coast optimism; Canberra transcends political agendas. If you're looking for contrast, the tropical northern frontier town of Darwin and chilly southern sandstone city of Hobart couldn't be more different. But whichever city you're wheeling into, you'll never go wanting for a decent coffee, live bands, art-gallery openings or music festival mosh-pits.
Food & Drink Australia has broken the binds of its Anglo meat-and-two-veg culinary past, serving up a multicultural fusion of European techniques and fresh Pacific-rim ingredients. 'Mod Oz' (or Modern Australian) is what the locals call it. Seafood plays a starring role − 'Hardly surprising on an island this big!', we hear you say…but from succulent Moreton Bay Bugs to delicate King George Whiting, there's a lot of variety in the ocean's bounty. And of course, beer in hand, you'll still find beef, lamb and chicken at traditional Aussie BBQs. Don't drink beer? Australian wines are world-beaters: punchy Barossa Valley reds, McLaren Vale Shiraz, Hunter Valley Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc from Tasmania's cool-climate Tamar Valley. Need a caffeine hit? Italian cafes have always known how to make the perfect espresso, but now there are coffee machines in pubs and petrol stations, and baristas in downtown coffee carts − you're never far from a double-shot, day or night.
It's a Wide Open Road There's a heckuva lot of tarmac across this wide brown land. From Margaret River to Cooktown, Jabiru to Dover, the best way to really appreciate Australia is to hit the open road. Car hire here is relatively affordable, road conditions are generally good, and outside of the big cities there's bugger-all traffic. If you're driving a campervan, you'll find well-appointed caravan parks in just about every town of any size. If you're feeling more adventurous, hire a 4WD and go off-road: Australia's national parks and secluded corners are custom-made for down-the-dirt-road camping trips. So embrace your inner road warrior and sing it loud: 'Get your motor runnin'…Head out on the highway…'

C A+F Health & Safety: You have to remember that the campus is in the middle of Albany. It's okay to walk alone on campus during the day, but at night on campus and anytime of the day off campus you don't want to walk around alone.
B A+F Health & Safety: Its not really unsafe during the day but is a concern at night since it is an open campus. Plus the buildings are really spread out and one should be aware of their surroundings.
A A+F Health & Safety: the public safety offices are always around and nice. there are always public safety cars around campus.
B+ A+F Health & Safety: Campus overall is very safe to walk about at night, as many of the buildings open late are very close to each other. Those living at the housings nearby will often be disturbed by loud students hanging around the track or parking lots. Safety is not an issue here as there are often security officers that patrol during the night.
A+ A+F Health & Safety: Everyone is very friendly and always willing to help a fellow student who looks a bit lost! It is a small quiet campus full of open honest people.

Aggressive Skates for intermediates tend to range in price from around £90-£180. The skates will tend to be UFS/UFM compatible meaning the skater can change and upgrade their skates as they develop, it also means they can customise their skates further in future too.
This level of aggressive skate is ideal for anyone looking to buy a present for someone you know will made good use of a pair of aggressive skates over a period of time. Almost all brands provide intermediate skates therefore there's a wide range of choice.
When choosing the right skate look for the hardness of wheel, notified by hardness of wheel (e.g. a 94a wheel is harder than a 85a wheel) however durability will be reduced. Also take a look at the quality of the bearing and design of the boot that you like the look of and would fit the skater well.

Reimagining Total Recall
How to recall Total Recall? Why, more photoreal, of course. So in keeping with director Len Wiseman's new Earth-bound vision of Philip K. Dick's mind-bending, dystopian future, Double Negative was charged with building the two distinct London environments designed by Patrick Tatopoulos: The United Federation of Britain (UFB) and The Colony.
The UFB is a neo-classical rendering of upper crust London. It's a very grand but sterile world, with lots of holograms and glass, big concrete plazas, fountains, open walkways and freeways threaded throughout with magnetic cars. Fortunately, they had plenty of photographic reference in London to utilize. By contrast, The Colony is a grittier low rent district: it has a very underground, funky vibe, with lots of neon lights; it's polluted, constantly overcast with noxious gasses and it's always raining.
VFX was overseen by DNeg's Peter Chiang along with the London VFX house's Adrian de Wet and Graham Jack. For the first time, DNeg used CityEngine software to help them build the entire UFB. CityEngine was made to fit in with the pipeline that consists of Maya (modeling, animation, VFX), Mari (texturing), Houdini (VFX) and Nuke. They could create any layout of buildings and draw from their assets and mix them up to design UFB. So instead of mapping out every single buildings in a view, they could get a gross structure by pulling various 3D points around, and then assign a randomizer to it that would take the assets from the buildings selected by Wiseman, which would wallpaper it together to create individual buildings. They drew upon 20 different assets that are close-up, 40 that are mid-distant and then relied on matte paintings to give the appearance of going off into infinity. They then added the fine details of stanchions, elevators, streetlamps, road signs and tiny barriers.
"The UFB is built upwards into the sky and beyond the skyscrapers there were massive platforms with clusters of buildings and also trees that branch off into further clusters of buildings," explains CG supervisor Vanessa Boyce. The idea was that when you look close up, it should look like London."
Fortunately, DNeg learned a lot from the Oscar-winning Inception about rendering such full detail. "It's a perpetual nighttime in The Colony, so the challenge with that was making it a shiny city with all the water everywhere and everything's reflective," she adds. "Rendering wise, it was a challenge to get these shots through. And with UFB, when Len saw The Colony shots coming through with all this nice water, he really loved seeing sheen on buildings, so he asked us to go back to UFB and wet it all down."
As for The Colony, the set accounted for one level, and they extended it up or down in CG, using green screen to varying degrees. The bottom level was usually water.
Meanwhile, The Senate of London was called on to work on 250+ shots encompassing 3D environments, 2D digital matte paintings, 3D hologram effects and graphics inserts.

Product Category Description:
These pumps operate at a low rpm which allows them to run cooler and reach a lower ultimate pressure (1 x 10-4 torr), with less backstreaming. Operating at low speed also reduces the rate of friction and wear on pump components, which ensures a longer service life. Pumps have a rugged design to facilitate tough applications. The contoured, molded belt-guard and base on Model 1402 and 1376 series pumps are designed for quieter operation and to eliminate visible oil weeping at seal.
The DUOSEAL series pumps provide a wide range of pumping speeds from 25 to 650 L/min. (0.9 to 23.3cfm). They incorporate a circular bore design which produces a high free air displacement with low rpm.
The unmounted pumps come without the motor, base, or belt guard. The pump with refrigerator service comes with two carrying handles and a 19mm (3/4") male inlet fitting. All pumps come with standard cord and plug, except for models with Schuko plug. The Model 1374 series pumps 54993-505 and 54993-517 come with no line cord or plug.

Comments about SmartWool Headband - 2012 Closeout:
I added this to my winter arsenal recently. I started out using it when I walked my dogs, and then continued using it when I run. I ran a 5K race this past Sunday wearing. 42 degrees, high wind, and my ears stayed comfy the whole time.
It does a great job of keeping sweat out of my face, but the drawback to that is that you will want to take it off pretty quickly after your exercise. Keep a spare handy, or a dry hat. This headband does dry quickly in my experience, so you will be able to use it again soon - and you will want to!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama has picked top national security aide Denis McDonough as his next chief of staff.
Obama will announce McDonough's appointment from the White House Friday. McDonough will take over the key West Wing role from Jack Lew, Obama's nominee for Treasury secretary.
McDonough has long advised Obama on foreign policy, most recently serving as his deputy national security adviser. During his four years at the White House, McDonough has emerged as one of the president's most trusted advisers.

In a season full of dominating performances, the East Mississippi Community College football team delivered another one in its final game. No. 2 EMCC rallied from two deficits to post a 52-32 victory against No. 1 Georgia Military College in the sixth Mississippi Bowl on Sunday afternoon at Indian Stadium on the Biloxi High School campus.
Other than appointing officials to the school board, Columbus councilmen are limited when it comes to what they can legally do to facilitate improvement in the school district.
"It wasn't always an island," Sam explained. "The channel redirected the Tombigbee River cutting off Highway 82 and creating the island." On a cold Sunday afternoon drive Sam shared 50-year-old memories.
Nearly 40 years ago I realized a dream. I went to work for the government. In this day and time it is a favorite parlor game to "dog cuss" anything having to do with the public sector and the bureaucrats who ply their trade, but that was not always so.

Justin Timberlake says he has no problem with Kanye West. Justin appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy poked around about the subtle dis he made at the rapper's expense during his performance of "Suit & Tie" on Saturday Night Live last weekend. Justin reportedly changed the lyrics from "Aww, s--t so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit" to "My hit's so sick, got rappers acting dramatic." All reportedly in response to West's insults at a concert in London last month. However, Justin squashed the beef.He said, "I don't remember that. Did I change a line? It is live. You know, really, everyone keep calm. Let me say, for the record, I absolutely love Kanye, so there's that. We love Kanye, right? Did the lyrics change? I don't remember."
Justin is releasing his new album, The 20/20 Experience on March 19. It is now streaming online via iTunes.

The Social Europe guide is a bi-annual publication aimed at providing an interested but not necessarily specialised audience with a concise overview of specific areas of EU policy in the field of employment, social affairs and inclusion. It illustrates the key issues and challenges, explains policy actions and instruments at EU level and provides examples of best practices from EU Member States. It also presents views on the subject from the Council Presidency and the European Parliament. This fifth volume in the series of Social Guides sets out how the new challenges facing EU countries call for a rethink of our approach to social policies. It outlines the functions of social policies and recent initiatives by the European Commission to support increased 'social investment' – benefits and services that improve people's skills and capabilities and support people's inclusion in society. This guide also sets out how the European Union's social policy guidance is designed and delivered, and how the Commission is supporting Member States in making reforms to improve the adequacy and sustainability of their social policies. The guide will be available as an e-book and in printed format in English, French and German.
Social Agenda No 35 presents the new European Commission programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) 2014-2020. It also addresses social Economic and Monetary Union, the upcoming annual convention of the European platform Against Poverty and Social Exclusion, the state of industrial relations in Europe and the first EU legislative proposal on Roma integration. The magazine will be available in printed format in English, French and German.
If they want to experience economic growth again while reducing their unemployment and poverty rates significantly, Member States must focus on investing in people or "human capital" and make the transition from a welfare state to a social investor state. This issue of Social Agenda focuses on the Social Investment Package for Growth and Cohesion which the European Commission put forward on 20 February 2013. It also looks at people's perception of the quality of life, at the skills that will be needed in the near future and at what EU citizenship means in practice. Social Agenda will be available in English, French and German.
The worsening social situation and problems of sustainability of social protection requires action across Europe. The Commission's Social Investment Package guides Member States to modernize their welfare systems by "preparing" people to confront life's risks, thus reducing the need to 'repair' the consequences. Harnessing policy expertise, the reform process, shared ownership with stakeholders and EU funds towards social investment will ensure full implementation. This publication will be available in printed format in English, French and German.

Here's the official announcement for those who are out of the loop.
Cry Havoc is going dormant at this time. Each corp can make its own decision about what they want to do moving forward. Thanks to all of you who joined us for the ride. We've done a damn good job of having fun and killing stuff without giving in to EVE's crappy push to simply become large as the solution to everything.
That being said, EVE just grew less and less compelling over time and I decided it was time to stop spending my time on it. I stepped down as active executor about 3 months ago and The Nova took over. EVE continued to be bad, more people stopped playing, and we ended up where we are now - too few motivated fun-makers to create an environment that makes for a good active alliance.
So CH as a serious entity will be closing its doors. ENH and MULTI will both be going low activity and staying within the alliance ticker. I believe TM is headed to join NC. HABIT is busy scooping people and heading to PL. INVT and SHADE are both deciding what their next step is, and ONION just kinda got screwed by showing up after we all had stopped playing. Sorry guys, not your fault.
Thanks to all who flew with us and blew up internet space pixels. Good luck to the folks still playing, and for those that are burned out I encourage you to come join us in other games (see Out-of-EVE).
Mistress Suffering
Executor, Cry Havoc
It is a sad day to see such a decent alliance go inactive. CH were always fun to fight when I lived in syndicate towards the end of last year.
RIP Cry Havoc.

Natasha Bedingfield is the "face" of Boogie SuperStar for Wii
EA's just announced that Natasha Bedingfield will be the official face of Boogie SuperStar for Wii.
"Boogie SuperStar brings to life all the fun and excitement of performing," said Bedingfield.
"Being on stage is such a thrill and it's great to be a part of an EA video game that lets girls experience how much fun it is to express themselves and explore their own creativity by performing."
OK. This was shown in the EA press conference at Games Convention, and looked excruciatingly good, to be fair.
There's a giant list of tracks involved. Full press release after the link.

Rock band 2 to debut at Games Convention full EA line-up confirmed
EA has announced its Games Convention line-up revealing that Harmonix's Rock Band 2 will be shown for the first time.
EA reckons it's "best ever product line up for European consumers this holiday and in 2009″ and as we'll be able to confirm that for you when our full coverage gets under way tomorrow.
From the release:
On show in Leipzig are Europe's best selling franchises and consumer favorites like FIFA, Need For Speed, The Sims and Harry Potter, a wide range of casual and family titles for Nintendo platforms including LITTLEST PET SHOP, Boogie SuperStar, Zubo and MONOPOLY, brand new IP like SimAnimals, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Dragon Age: Origins, Battleforge, Spore, the new MMORPG Warhammer® Online: Age of Reckoning, and EA partner titles Left 4 Dead from Valve, Rock Band and Rock Band 2 from MTV Games/Harmonix and Crysis Warhead® from Crytek.
Never before has EA had such a diverse and powerful slate of offerings, and it's been great to see consumer and critical response to our games," said Jens Uwe Intat, senior EA VP.
"As more and more people come into interactive entertainment, we are ready with the best games in sports, action, casual, horror, simulation, and online. We'll be bringing more new games to market this year than in our history, and Leipzig is a great European window to showcase those offerings for the broad range of people that love to play them."
