Software-defined network (SDN) technology startup Pertino on Tuesday came to market with its first product, a cloud-based networking solution that enables individuals or small businesses to quickly set up a LAN over the cloud without the need for any additional hardware.
The new Pertino service is a cloud-based technology that delivers networks as a service, said Todd Krautkremer, vice president of marketing for the Los Gatos, Calif.-based company.
"We allow customers to build a cloud-based network in minutes that connects users and IT resources from anywhere," Krautkremer said. "Networks have always been about places. We're about people. If you have an Internet connection, you can create a network."

While office-based LANs work great by allowing users to plug in and access corporate resources, that doesn't help users outside the office, Krautkremer said. Furthermore, traditional LANs are difficult to use for accessing resources in the cloud without a WAN in place, he said.
"Users are increasingly mobile," he said. "As they work more outside the office network, the network itself needs to be outside the office."
Other than the Pertino software, customers do not require any additional hardware or software to run the Pertino SDN service, Krautkremer said.
Setting up the Pertino SDN service is a three-step process, including downloading the software, sending an email to other users to invite them to join the network, and then add more devices such as servers and printers, Krautkremer said.
The Pertino service creates a software-defined network via 28 access points running on such global cloud infrastructure providers as Amazon, Rackspace and Linode. "Users just need an Internet connection, and they are routed to the nearest Pertino node," Krautkremer said.
There are five major use cases for the service, including the ability to access office networking resources from outside the office, accessing office applications via remote desktops, secure file sharing, secure access to cloud services from within an office, and the ability to spin up and down a network as needed.
The secure file sharing significantly increases mobile user security, Krautkremer said. "Businesses can avoid the security issues of working with services such as Dropbox by making files available for sharing as if their users were in the office," he said.

The Spanish property market is at risk of becoming proverbial: an emblem of everything that went wrong in Europe during the boom years leading up to the disastrous 2007/8 crash. But that's only part of the story.
Spain's housing bubble was inflated by wishful thinking on all sides: purchasers thought they could buy cheap and rent or sell dear, developers thought they could sell one development before it was finished and use the money to build another, and banks chose not to look too hard as long as the money came in………………………………………..Full Article: Source

Men who go to college are more likely to get married. Women who go to college are more likely to get married. It seemed like a small leap to assume that people from disadvantaged backgrounds who go to college are more likely to get married.
But a recent study suggests that assumption would be wrong. When sociologists at Cornell University and the University of California at Los Angeles examined data provided by 3,200 Americans in a long-term government study, they found, to their surprise, that college lowered the odds that those from a very socially and economically disadvantaged background would ever get married.
"We thought that disadvantaged students who went to college would be all the more likely to marry," said Kelly Musick, associate professor of policy analysis and management at Cornell's College of Human Ecology. "We found the opposite."
Among those study participants in the lowest 20 percent economically and socially, Musick and her colleagues found that about 79 percent of those who did not go to college got married, compared with 63 percent of those who did go to college.
Study participants in the most advantaged 20 percent, in turn, were more likely to get married if they attended college.
Musick, whose study was published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, said there are several possible explanations for the findings, but the one that best matches the data is "marriage market mismatch:" basically, the idea that college kids from poor neighborhoods are caught between two social worlds.
Musick cites a study by researchers including sociologist Elizabeth Armstrong, now an associate professor at the University of Michigan.
"They basically occupied a room in a dorm and did a lot of close observation and in-depth interviews," Musick says. "They documented this awkward place that these (disadvantaged) women were left in by wanting to succeed and make a different kind of life by going to college, not really wanting to go back to their home communities and partner with or marry the men they left behind, but also not being fully integrated into the social scene on campus."
Musick said there are other possible explanations for her findings, among them the possibility that first-generation college students are more driven than their classmates and more likely to forgo family for the sake of their careers.
"That's a plausible story" when it comes to women, said Musick. But in her study, disadvantaged men also saw their odds of marriage decrease when they attended college. Since men generally aren't thought to face the same pressures to choose between marriage and career, the career-over-family explanation doesn't fit the data.
Disadvantaged kids still benefit profoundly from college. Studies have shown that disadvantaged students get the biggest boost from college in the job market, Musick says. What her study does indicate is an opportunity for colleges to better help disadvantaged students to socially assimilate. The study also highlights broader issues, Musick says.
"It's a real window into cleavages in society. What could be more intimate than your marriage partner? What could speak more to the distinctions that people make, whether social class, race, or whatever differences that you might look at?"

HILLSDALE � With the bowling season fast approaching, the Hillsdale High School bowling teams needed to find a way to raise money for the upcoming season.� So, they did what they do best and hit the lanes.
Members of the team and various other supporters took part in a bowl-a-thon Sunday with all proceeds going to help the HHS bowling teams this season.
"It takes a lot of money to run a bowling team," said head coach Randy Preston.
According to Preston, the team pays $60 per match during the season and must pay for each practice round it has when not in competition. Needless to say those costs add up quickly. Luckily for the teams, the HHS boosters club has helped with a nice percentage of the cost, but the two teams still have to find other ways to raise funds.
"We couldn't do this without the boosters," Preston said.
Sunday's event marked the third year the team has held the fundraiser prior to the start of the season. Sophomore Hailey Osborn spearheaded the campaign this year which brought about 50 people to Hillsdale Lanes. Along with reserving the lanes, Osborn had to seek donations from local businesses for either cash donations or door prizes.
"It took a lot of work to get them because we had to talk with the bosses and stuff like that," Osborn said. "Once we did that, the other stuff we needed we had to go buy with our own money."
Osborn said she made posters and hung them around the high school and the town to let people know what was going on. The teams also sell chocolates during the season, host car washes and find other ways to raise money.
"It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of my time," Osborn said, adding that it was worth it to put in that much time.
Those who participated in the fundraiser paid $15 for three games which were not played in the traditional manner. Bowlers played 8-pin and 9-pin no tap games, which are variations of bowling where a strike occurs if the bowler knocks down eight or nine pins in their first ball.
Along with coach Stan Hutchinson, Preston said they started the bowl-a-thon three years ago and have had success each year. Preston said that after collecting all the money from donors, the teams have to pay for the lanes used.� Thankfully they have made around $400 per fundraiser in the past few years. The HHS bowling season starts on Nov. 18 when tryouts will be held.

The game looks really fun from what I've seen, but I'm going to wait to see some actual gameplay before I put money down for it. I'm dying for more driving games on the Vita though.

(WXIA) An Atlanta, Georgia family is mourning the loss of a beloved guide dog who left them with one final heroic act.
Seconds after he was struck by a car, Simon, an 80 pound Boxer, pushed his owner's child to safety.
"This is true loyalty and courage," said Dave Furukawa.
Furukawa, who is visually impaired, has counted on Simon as his companion and guide for the last four years.
On Monday, Furukawa was walking his child Will to school. Simon was by their side. As they crossed the street, witnesses saw a car run a stop sign and strike Simon, then Dave.

A jury found a Las Vegas woman guilty of conspiring with her brother and son to kill her estranged husband for $250,000 in insurance money.
Amy Bessey, 43, was found guilty Tuesday of all seven charges against her, including attempted murder, solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy in the November 2012 shooting that wounded Robert Bessey. Amy Bessey faces up to 91 years in prison. She is set to be sentenced March 5, 2014.
"We're somewhat surprised by the verdict. There are some appealable issues. I told Amy to stay strong," defense attorney Blaine Beckstead told ABC News.
Bessey took the stand earlier this week and told jurors that she never asked anyone to kill her husband, who she described as a violent man.
When Beckstead was asked about having his client testify, he said: "It was the right decision, but she didn't really knock it out of the park. But we didn't have a choice."
Prosecution declined to comment about the case after the verdict was read.
Robert Bessey was shot in the neck shortly before his divorce to Amy was to be finalized and before he was able to change the beneficiary of the $250,000 life insurance policy. Prosecutors said Amy Bessey enlisted the help of her son, Michael Bessey, 22, and her brother, Richard Pearson, to kill her husband as he drove south on Interstate 15 near Las Vegas on Nov. 14, 2012.
Richard Pearson and Michael Bessey face trial Feb. 24 on similar charges. Pearson and Bessey have pleaded not guilty.
Bessey took the stand Monday and told jurors that she never asked anyone to kill her husband, but did say out loud that she wished he was dead.
"I was fed up. I just wanted it to be done. I just said it. I wish he was dead," Bessey testified.
The couple had been married for 18 years and had three kids together. Prior to their marriage, they each had two children from prior relationships. Michael Bessey is Amy's biological son, whom Robert adopted two years after they were married.
Amy Bessey described her ex-husband as a violent man and described a May 2012 confrontation on the witness stand.
"He took his fist to my face. He took his knee to my rib," Amy Bessey said, describing one of the alleged instances when she was abused. "I grabbed my purse and walked out the door."
During his testimony last week, Robert Bessey described the same fight as, "I was in bed. Amy came in. There was pushing and hitting. I pushed her. She hit me."
Bessey also testified that the gunshot that hit him in the back of the neck came from a gold SUV.
Gas station surveillance video captured Amy Bessey's brother and son not far from the scene of the shooting in a gold SUV that police say was tied to the incident.
Prosecutor Sam Martinez said Pearson sent his sister a text message hours before the alleged shooting that read, "I love it when a plan comes together."

Lavinia is a Romanian model who embodies the classic "brains and beauty" role model for the younger generation. She not only was Miss World Romania in 2010, but after attending Economic High School Maria Teiuleanu in Romania, she came to Tokay High School in Lodi, CA as an exchange student. After graduating, she attended the International University of Monaco, Business Administration from 2008-2009, transferring to the New York Film Academy where she attended from 2009-2011. Romanian is Lavinia's native language, and she speaks English very well, French and Spanish well, and is learning Italian and Portuguese. She has been in countless music videos, catalogs, and editorials, participated in Romanian fashion weeks and the Couture Fashion Show. She was also a semifinalist for Victoria's Secret NY top models in 2009, and a semifinalist to the Mafia Game in 2012. Lavinia also is a part of the SunFlower charity in New York in 2009, and Rotary in Romania in 2010. She is an International Member of Police Association (IPA) since 2008. Some of her hobbies include archeology, traveling, tennis, chess, motorcycling, hiking, Pilates, reading, writing, film, and photography.
1. What made you become interested in modeling?
I drawn to the diversity of the activities carried out by models : fashion shows, editorials, commercials. Plus, its a domain that requests to have the power of concentration to differ through face and body expressions, from a job to another. Its a continuously challenge with yourself.
2. When did you start?
I started at 15 years old. It happened to accompany a friend to a casting, when I got remarked by a Matrix representative, who was looking to advertise his new hair products. I was asked to be one of their models in the Romanian's shows. My parents were convinced to allow me because I was excited and it was summer holiday. It was a start that made me hope for more. Right after I started taking runways lessons, photo shootings, and hoped towards a career in this field.
3. In your opinion, what is the most rewarding part of the job?
The greatest satisfaction is when your image sells the product. It means you got the audience's taste.
4. What has been one of your obstacles?
The prejudices of those around me on a modeling career. My family sees modeling as just a hobby for free time and not at all as a profession. But working hard at school I got the chance to work as a model as well.
5. How have you overcome the obstacle?
With perseverance. In order to maintain myself active as a model and as a good pupil at school, there were lot of efforts, waives and sacrifices. Hardly after age 20, my parents realized that my dreams don't correspond with theirs, so then my life turned in this way. Now they encourage and support me, and they feel proud.
6. What are some very memorable jobs?
I still can't talk about memorable jobs. For me, a memorable job means a career apogee. My profession success is still developing.
7.What lessons have you taken away from this career that you apply to every day life?
To be on time and be prepared.
8. What was your experience like as Miss World Romania 2010?
It was a unique experience, because this contest aroused in me feelings less experienced till then, such as : patriotism, pride, responsibility. Every contestant did their best in representing their country, not just with beauty but through attitude, behavior and education. There wasn't one girl there just for the award, but for the impression you leave behind. And this impression can define a whole nation.
9. What was your relationship like with other contestants?
It was a friendship and solidarity relationship during the whole contest. Despite the spirit of competition, there were none fights or wickedness the way we see on TV. I was helped when I need it to, and I got along with all the girls. It wasn't enough time to link strong friendship, but I do keep in touch with some of them.
10.What are some of your future plans? Any other contests?
In about a month I'll start shooting for False Colors, lead role, a feature to be directed by William Norton and produced by Remote Station Entertainment. Regarding other contests, I am proud to represent Romania at Queen of Universe 2013, which will take place in December, in Los Angeles.
11. What are some of your goals for coming to Los Angeles?
My goal for coming to LA was to complete my NYFA studies. Further on, I decided to stay here, because this town gives opportunities to advance as a model and actress. The fact that in LA you get to learn from the people in the film industry and work with them, its a huge chance to make a thriving career.
12. How have your past experiences influenced you today?
During Junior year of High School, I was an exchange student in Lodi, CA. I was 17 when I came to US. I came with lot of hopes and wishes regarding my modeling career. Unfortunately, the extra-school activities and the rules were stricter then in my country. But I didn't quit school, and I was a good pupil. I kept in my soul my dreams and hopes and I knew that at one point the time will come for that too. I learned to be patience, stronger, persevering, to have sense of honesty and responsibility. So, I believe through my experience I am here today.
13. What type of acting are you planning on doing? (commercials, comedy roles, drama roles, etc.)
In my career, it won't have priority a certain type of acting, for me will count the interpretation of a role. As long as its a serious, strong role that fits me, I'll never refuse that.
14. Any advice you can give to the young girls of today?
To enjoy the youth's power and beauty, to respect educational and moral values, and to fight for their dreams and they will come true.
15. What would be your dream vacation?
Greece is the country that offers me all the elements equivalent to a dream vaccination : an empty beach on a island with beautiful views, amazing architecture, taverns with traditional music and food. Its a touristic destination that I am delighted to recommended it.
16. What do you like to do to relax?
It depends on my spirit. Sometimes I like to lay on my balcony and read a book, or play chess online, or going hiking, or sometimes I just love to relax at the spa.

OverreactionThis constant alarm about commercial skipping reminds me of all the drama about online ad "impressions" versus brand identity. For a time advertisers only wanted to pay for ad clickthrus, until they remembered that just putting your brand name in front of eyeballs repeatedly still had value.
I have two TiVos, I use 30 second skip, and I love it. I don't watch ads for tampons, male 'enhancement' products, or a hundred other things I'll never buy. But even with 30 second skip one will see blips of the commercials, and I rewind to check out ads that look interesting. The first ad and the last ad of a block have more value because commercial skippers are likely to see more of them. But this was true before, since people often were in the john or kitchen during the middle of a commercial block anyway.
And DVRs can offer useful new ad methods. Being able to CHOOSE to hit "Thumbs Up" during certain ads to have product information mailed to you, or to painlessly schedule a recording of a new show being advertised, that's kinda cool (and I mostly despise advertising).
One recent ad run for the 2006 BMW had a thumbs-up icon flag to easily record a 30 minute show about BMW history and the car. The show turned out to be awful, but the method was interesting. With increasing broadband saturation I can see such an extended ad being downloaded on-demand over the 'net if the viewer requests it, to be watched later at the viewer's convenience, particularly extended trailers for movies and new TV shows.
Imagine... A device that can let viewers really learn more about products they're interested in, while helping the advertisers know which ads are effective based upon the amount of interest shown. To not see that as an opportunity rather than a problem, these companies must be in deep denial.
thecaptain, 8 Jun 2005 @ 5:03am
No Subject GivenPersonally, I am getting a little sick and tired of these marketting and advertising companies growing insistance that I *HAVE* to watch these ads.
I'm sick of being force fed pablum sacharine crap about some more "new & improved product" (does that phrase even MEAN anything by now?) whereever I go, whatever I do, whatever I watch.
When is someone going to realize that we've reached the oversaturation point. I can't be the only one.
On a related note: I wonder how many words and phrases have become totally meaningless because of advertising ("new and improved" or "the best" or "quality" or even "pro" come readily to mind).
Ivan Sick, 8 Jun 2005 @ 8:02am
Re: No Subject GivenCaptain: word up brother.
Now: it seems that all these people are freaking out because disc technology makes it easier to do the things that people have ALWAYS done. Fast forward buttons were around before TiVo. Tape recorders were in wide use before CD burners. But now that digital consumer electronics are the default, and skipping and copying content are faster and easier than before, everybody's doing it. Used to be you had to be smart to be a timeshifter, now anybody with $300+$12/month can do it. And everybody who is doing it is skipping the commercials. Seems like commercial skipping is dictated by human nature (or something.) Are they doing it to SPITE advertisers? Hell no, they do it because they don't WANT to see stupid commercials. This puts advertisers in the role of teachers assigning homework, or parents forcing vegetable consumption before dessert. Aren't avertisers supposed to make you think the product is fun or useful, and therefore something you want to know about? If they could do that, people wouldn't skip commercials [as much]. But they are failing so, like everyone else in today's world, they will complain and try to make a legal issue out of it.
Anonymous Coward, 8 Jun 2005 @ 10:56am
Re: No Subject GivenI think this whole discussion is a bit ridiculous. Why are ads inserted into the middle of a TV show? Because people want to watch the show and not the ads. If there was a way to make ads more interesting so that people would elect to watch them, surely, this would have already happened. TV has been around for quite some time, and yet, as it turns out, ads usually aren't that interesting and the only way to have people watch them is to make them. Otherwise, there'd be an hour of ads scheduled every evening, and people would tune in by the trainload. But there's not.
Just because it would seem like it'd be nice if this were an opportunity for the advertisers to offer more "targeted content" or whatever, doesn't mean that there actually is. There's a chance we all know better than the people who actually went to school to learn advertising and made careers out of it and there's something we all see about how they should do business that ALL of them are too stupid to catch on to. But I think there's even a better chance that that's not true and there is no way to make people watch ads on TV if you don't force them. Honestly, which is more likely? Come on, we've all seen commercials. No one really wants to watch them. It will always be that way, unless they're made entirely out of porn.
I know I will always skip commercials on my TiVo, even on the off chance one of the ones I skipped is for a product I actually care about. I don't want to buy anything today, I just wanna watch the show. I assume 95% of the people are like that, as well. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's only 75%. But that's still not enough for there to really be any disguised opportunity here for the advertisers, it's only a problem for them.
Re: No Subject GivenConsidering that the majority of people now watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, it seems that your point that no one wants to watch commercials isn't quite true...
As for the issue of the "evolution of TV advertising" somehow having reached its perfect peak, I'd question that as well. TV commercials worked in the past because you had a captive audience. There was no way they could get around the ads. Now people can, so ad execs need to learn how to adjust.
Changing marketplace means the producers need to change as well.
Ivan Sick, 9 Jun 2005 @ 12:00pm
Re: No Subject GivenOf course no one wants to watch ads. My point is less "The advertisers need to make ads more interesting if they want us to watch them" and more "The advertisers need to quit their bitching and moaning when the public refuses to watch commercials."
Targeted ads suck harder than regular, non-targeted ads if you ask me. The targeted ads are generally longer, more intrusive, and are frequently shown to a captive audience.
thecaptain, 8 Jun 2005 @ 10:56am
Re: No Subject GivenI really wouldn't mind seeing commercials on the following conditions:
1) There were a whole lot LESS of them. (as it is, a 30 min show is actually only 18 mins. That's ridiculous). MAYBE 10 for a full hour...at the extreme, I'd prefer 6-8.
2) Along with #1 that commercials be TRUTHFUL and not the "bend the truth in a knot to fool the consumer while following the letter of the law" truthful b*llsh*t you see today...but actually meaningful information about a product and why the company feels it is a good thing for ME to shell out money for it. The upside is that MAYBE we'd ACTUALLY get better products rather than a cheap knockoff of something with a "pro" or "quality" slapped on its name.
3) Advertisers: stop treating people like idiots (granted these days most behave that way)...example, when you have product testimonials, make them with ACTUAL PEOPLE like it used to be...don't use actors (especially not some who are recognizable extras from many movies I'm familiar with) and portray them as actual consumers.
If these conditions were met, I'd be the first to promise to never miss a commercial.
Quality over quantity is a motto that advertisers have sadly forgotten.
Ed Hager, 8 Jun 2005 @ 11:53am
Ads at Mach 2Let's say I am an advertiser and I know the show is popular among Tivo users. I would make some part of the ad look like it is running at normal speed when the user is fast forwarding at double speed.

Shelby County High School's defense caused two turnovers and held George Rogers Clark to a total of 37 yards in the second half, but the Rockets (0-6, 0-2) came up just short in a 14-7 home loss to the Cardinals on Friday.
George Rogers Clark's Ryan Williams reeled off two long touchdown runs in the first half - 52 and 68 yards - and that proved to be enough for the Cardinals (5-2, 1-1).

An early screenshot from Ourmedia.org.
How an era was born: Ourmedia, YouTube & grassroots media
It's hard to fathom now, but six years ago YouTube, free video hosting and democratic video sharing didn't exist. Then, six years ago today, Ourmedia.org burst onto the scene and helped launch a video revolution.
The "media" part of social media has become so engrained in our culture in such a short time that it's worth looking back at how quickly things have changed — and why it matters. (Given that the early history of the Internet is withering away, I'll try to be as detailed as possible.)
At the Supernova conference in June 2004, Marc Canter, one of the pioneers of Internet media and a true character in the startup world, and I had a long talk about the need for a free online service to host video and rich media, which we saw as the next stage of the Internet's evolution. I was spending time among creatives like digital storytellers and video producers who had created amazing stories that were locked away in people's computers with no way to share them. Marc had already carved out a reputation as the go-to geek for creating online communities with open standards.
And so we envisioned a site that would host thousands, and eventually millions, of amateur works: grassroots videos, podcasts (just invented), independent films, photo and art galleries, Flash animations, video diaries, documentary journalism, home-brew political ads, music videos, children's tales, student films, multimedia presentations and more. The site would have to be free. And the works would be stored online — forever.
It was, of course, a preposterous idea. Other video hosting sites had sprung up, but none offered free hosting and free bandwidth — something that was still awfully expensive.
Birth of a genius idea: Free video hosting & bandwidth
We went to work to make it happen. This would be a public commons of shared creativity, not a closed system operated for profit. So instead of trekking to Sandhill Road for VC funding, we sat down with Brewster Kahle, the quixotic genius behind the nonprofit Internet Archive, who took the millions he made selling Alexa Internet to Amazon.com and poured it into an effort to archive the entirety of the World Wide Web on servers in San Francisco, the Netherlands and Alexandria, Egypt. (Think your website from the mid-'90s is gone? Check out the Archive's Wayback Machine.)
The Archive was then a prim, buttoned-down place for storing vetted digital collections – sort of an online version of the Library of Congress. It was, in short, a place for historians, scholars, librarians and researchers – not a place for the unwashed democratic masses.
We persuaded Brewster to open up the Archive for a six-month experiment. We would create a new site, Ourmedia.org, with a team of programmers from India and Canada. All the posts, comments and the front-end UI would take place on Ourmedia, while all the media files would live on the Archive's servers. Ross Mayfield, meanwhile, donated a free wiki from Socialtext for about 200 volunteers from a dozen countries around the world to collaborate on the site's front end. It was all built on Drupal, the open source publishing platform.
Yes, we came before YouTube was born
It proved to be unwieldy, chaotic, maddening – and a thing of beauty. The world's first free media hosting site, open to anyone in any country. (While it was free to small Web publishers, we placed restrictions on large commercial operations. They already had places to serve their media; this project was intended for our media.)
Let the record show: We launched on March 21, 2005 – a month before a newcomer called YouTube opened its beta doors and two months before Blip.tv was born.
As I wrote at the time:
"Marc and I believe that real change in the mediasphere will only come about when millions of us pick up the tools of digital creativity. The tools are now at hand. Let's go."
A simple Slashdot post of two sentences on the day of our launch generated 327 comments – and knocked out our servers for half a day.
By launch, we had assembled a world-class Advisory Board: Lawrence Lessig, Doc Searls, Dan Gillmor, Howard Rheingold, the Harvard Berkman Center's Charles Nesson, author David Bollier and Steve Rosenbaum, Leslie Rule and other luminaries.
Journalism.co.uk covered our launch, noting that we got 20,000 visitors in our first 24 hours. "The site is free to use and is likely to have particular appeal for video bloggers and podcasters: popular files usually mean costly data bills but Ourmedia will host files for free," they reported. "The founders hope that the site will become a rich repository of shareable digital media including documentaries, student films, grassroots political adverts and artwork."
Andy Carvin at Digital Divide Network (and now NPR's social media wiz) spotted its significance right away:
Today is the official launch of Ourmedia.org, which I checked out over the weekend prior to the official launch. I can't remember the last time a new website launch has had me so excited. The idea behind Ourmedia is really simple: it's a community where anyone who creates online media – video blogs, podcasts, photos, you name it – can have a place where they can publish it and share it with others.
This may not seem like a big deal, but it really is an important step forward in the world of online citizen journalism. Now, you don't need your own Web host to store that killer 50 meg video file you've just produced. Just become a member of Ourmedia, use their upload tool, and presto …

An Intimate Look Into the Most Controversial Band in Rock History
The exhibition coincides with the theatrical release of When youre Strange© Henry Diltz.
To coincide with the theatrical release of When youre Strange,
Idea Generation Gallery
has an intimate look into the most controversial rock bands in music history.
The Doors: When Youre Strange showcases one of the most contentious rock bands to exist. The exhibition will offer an intimate account of The Doors from their rise to fame to their breakthrough on the music scene in 1965. The Doors arrival not only marked a string of hit singles but was the start of a new counterculture scene in the 1960s.The exhibition will reveal intimate portraits of Jim Morrison and how he became one of the most charismatic lead singers with The Doors becoming one of the most controversial rock bands to exist. After Morrisons death in 1971, The Doors disbanded, with their active career finishing shortly after his death, but their popularity persisted selling over 75 million albums worldwide.
To celebrate the success of the band, in conjunction with Morrison Hotel Gallery, Idea Generation Gallery will showcase the photography of Henry Diltz, Joel Brodsky, Bobby Klein and Ken Regan, who all documented the bands time together. Alongside their most celebrated works, When Youre Strange brings together the lesser known archives and previously unseen contact sheets of photography taken over the decade the band were together. Both Diltz and Brodsky captured The Doors at their most private moments at home and on tour and this exhibition provides one of the most comprehensive and intimate views into their exclusive world.
The group was born when Morrison and Manzerak whod met at UCLA film School met again unexpectedly on a beach in Venice. Though he never intended to be a singer, Morrison was invited to join Manzeraks group, Rick and the Ravens, on the strength of his poetry. Krieger and Desmore were soon to be recruited. Taking their name from the Aldous Huxleys Psychotropic monograph The Doors of Perception the band was created. After a legendary gig at Whisky a go go on the Sunset Strip The Doors were signed to Electra Records. In 1967, their first album, The Doors, captured the rawness and energy of their stage shows, with Light my fire reaching number 1 in the US. However, the band quickly began to attract the attention of police: concern about corruption of youth made promoters nervous and many venues refused to stage the band. Shortly after the release of their third album, LA Woman, Jim Morrison was found dead in 1973 in his bathtub of a suspected heroin overdose.
Although The Doors active career ended in 1973, their popularity persisted, selling over 75 million albums worldwide. In 1991 Oliver Stone added to this popularity by directing The Doors, a highly successful biopic of Jim Morrisons colourful life.
Photographers Include:
Henry Diltz
A founding member of the Modern folk Quartet, Diltz captured intimate photography of bands on tour. Considered as a visual historian of the last four decades of popular music his shots convey a rare feeling of trust and intimacy with his subjects.
For Diltz, his pictures began with a $20 second hand Japanese camera purchased on tour with the Modern Folk Quartet. When they disbanded, Diltz embarked on his photographic career with the album cover for The Lovin Spoonful. Despite his lack of formal training, Diltz submerged himself in the world of music.
For over 40 years his work has featured on many album covers, books, magazines and newspapers. His style has produced powerful photographic essays of Woodstock, The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. He continues an established career, generating new and vibrant photographs being a partner in, and exclusively published and represented by The Morrison Hotel Gallery.
Joel Brodsky
Responsible for shaping the iconography of the psychedelic era, capturing landmark acts including The Doors.
Despite having a keen interest in photography as a teen, he graduated to serve in the US Army. As a favour to a friend Brodsky agreed to shoot the cover of Eric Andersens sophomore Vanguard release Bout Changes and Things, quickly emerging as the labels go to photographer. Electra Records signed The Doors and Brodsky was assigned to shoot the photos for their forthcoming debut LP. While his group photography was outstanding including the image that became the bands first advertising Billboard, it was his solo shots of frontman Jim Morrison that proved the most Iconic. The session in which he captured Young Lions photos would later become the enduring cult following and mass merchandising that mushroomed around the singer in the wake of his 1971 death.
Bobby Klein
Bobby Klein entered the field of visual arts, as a teenager, in the early 1960s when he was a co-producer of numerous live dance party television shows being broadcast from Los Angeles. During that time he purchased his first camera and shot pictures around Los Angeles. His long time love affair with the camera began in this way. He put together a book of his photos and made the rounds of the record companies he had visited when he was a personal manager for a number of
musical personalities of the day.
He became the west coast photographer for Colombia (CBS) records and other smaller labels. He was the Doors and Jim Morrisons first professionally hired photographer and went on to photograph music and film personalities including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Dennis Hopper, classical composer Igor Stravinsky and, the then stand-up comedian, Steve Martin.
His photographs of the Doors and Morrison are still published in many books about the history of Rock and Roll.
Bobby Klein presently lives in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles where he practices as an intuitive psychotherapist and spiritual teacher. He is also working on a documentary of his photographic work through the late 60s and 70s.
Ken Regan
Born and raised in the Bronx, Ken Regan studied journalism at Columbia and attended New York Universitys Film School. Initially forging a career photographing major sporting events, Ken went on to work as a photojournalist covering many topical issues including the riots and demonstrations in the United States surrounding the Vietnam War, and was in the Persian Gulf and Bosnia.
Changing paths once again, Ken covered many political assignments and worked exclusively with the Kennedy family, photographing everything from campaigns and conventions to annual family gatherings.
The mid 70s saw Ken touring with some of the most renowned musicians in Rock N Roll history including Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones also covering Amnesty International and Live Aid.
By the late Eighties, Ken had over 200 magazine covers to his credit, as well as numerous awards from the Missouri School of Journalism and World Press Photo to the New York Newspaper Guild.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Two Yale assistant women's lacrosse coaches, Kendall McBrearty and Brigid Strain, have advanced to the second round of tryouts for the U.S. Lacrosse Developmental Team. McBrearty, a goalkeeper, and Strain, a defender, were selected after the first round of tryouts at the U.S. Lacrosse Women's Division National Tournament in Bel Air, Md., in May.
There were more than 150 players invited to that tryout, and 49 were selected from that group at the conclusion of Memorial Day weekend. Those 49, along with 15 who received waivers from the tryouts due to prior commitments such as participation in the NCAA Championship, will take part in the next round of tryouts August 1-2 at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. The final roster will include 23 players.
The Developmental Team is the second-highest level of the U.S. Lacrosse program. It serves as a means by which players can gain greater exposure to international competition and continue to develop skills with the aim of becoming a member of U.S. Lacrosse's Elite team. The squad is selected for a period of one year.
McBrearty, who was on the U.S. Developmental Team in 2007-08 and 2008-09, made a pair of appearances in the NCAA National Championship game with Virginia in 2005 and 2007. She was a third team All-American for the Cavaliers in 2008, helping Virginia to its third straight ACC Tournament championship. The Cavaliers also won three regular season championships and went 65-17 (.792) while she was there.
At Yale as a coach this past year McBrearty helped freshman goalkeeper Whitney Quackenbush (Manhasset, N.Y.) develop into an honorable mention All-Ivy League selection in her first season. Quackenbush settled in as the starting goalkeeper in the second game and finished 14th in the country in save percentage (.492).
In addition to being on the U.S. Developmental Team in past years, McBrearty was also selected to the U.S. National Team top 49 last fall.
A native of Alexandria, Va., McBrearty was a high school All-American and won four consecutive ISL titles at St. Stephens & St. Agnes School. Her twin sister, Kady, played lacrosse for Virginia Tech.
Strain, who has been selected for U.S. National Team trials three times, made a pair of NCAA Elite Eight appearances and won a pair of CAA regular season and tournament championships with James Madison in 2004 and 2006. She was second team All-CAA at that position in 2008, also earning a spot on the Virginia Sports Information Directors' Association All-State Lacrosse Team. Strain also took part in the IWLCA North/South Senior All-Star Game.
At Yale Strain works with the Bulldogs' defense, which finished 13th in the country in fewest goals allowed per game (9.19). Overall, Yale held its opponent below its season goals-per-game average 14 times in 16 games.
Strain has worked numerous lacrosse camps in Virginia and also spent a summer playing lacrosse in Australia. She is also a tech representative for STX, Inc. in Baltimore.
Also a native of Alexandria, Strain attended Mt. Vernon. Her sisters, Cathleen and Shannon, played lacrosse at Longwood.
Both McBrearty and Strain joined the Yale staff after Anne Phillips, Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Lacrosse, was hired last spring.

Given that passion, opinion, opportunism and inertia have shaped much of managed care's evolution, there is an increasing need for the systematic gathering and rational application of facts. Outcome evaluations and insights into what facilitates and what impedes efficient and effective care are now avidly sought, not only for improving care delivery and treatment effectiveness but also for regulatory functions and commercial promotion.
Having become increasingly involved in academic as well as clinical aspects of managed care, the department of psychiatry at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, with support from an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer Inc., is establishing one of the first managed care behavioral health services research fellowships.
Additionally, we have been evaluating aspects of managed care using a set of data accumulated by the telephone access center. The center serves a behavioral health care provider network sponsored by the department of psychiatry. Although created for administrative purposes, the access center's database provides a novel opportunity to study communication and decision-making in psychiatry and managed care operations.
For our first investigation, we selected one sharply defined aspect of therapeutic
decision-making and reported some of our findings at the 1998 American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting in Toronto (Ciccone et al., 1998). Surprisingly, few data-driven analyses of managed care decision-making were presented at the meeting. In contrast to psychiatry, other mental health disciplines are more actively investigating various aspects of managed care.
Our new research poster focused on how well the access center, using operational criteria, differentiates between callers considered appropriate to be seen first by psychiatrists from those considered appropriate to be seen first by social workers or psychologists. We found a high rate of agreement between the treatment and interdisciplinary referral decisions made by the clinicians who eventually treated the patients and the access center workers' choice of clinician disciplines for the patients' initial appointments (Table).
Information Flow
Physicians commonly grumble that current implementations of the managed care paradigm severely interfere with their relationship to patients. Doctors also express misgivings about whether the electronic interfaces envisioned for telemedicine can convey essential nonverbal material. Many believe that critical information is lost if a patient is not seen face-to-face.
Because behavioral health care is considered especially vulnerable to factors that impinge on the doctor-patient relationship, it should be a good arena for tracking information that contributes to treatment outcome. Specifically, adverse situations such as having to discuss one's psychiatric problems over the phone with a stranger in order to get help should limit the transmission of crucial clinical data in a measurable way.
Our access center included disadvantageous features of both managed care and telepsychiatry, creating a severe test bed for examining whether useful clinical communication could occur over the telephone or in a managed care setting. Although the supposed disadvantages of telephone interviews and impersonal managed care transactions seem clear intuitively, the actual impact of such conditions on clinical communication has not been quantified.
The provider group associated with our department of psychiatry receives fee-for-service under a managed care contract that covers some 130,000 lives for ambulatory services. The multidisciplinary practice sites in the network are located in five counties. As far as we know, this is the largest such operation under academic auspices. Families eligible for services have subscribed through an employer, and most families live in suburban communities, creating a relatively homogeneous population.
The usual entry point for our care system is a centralized telephone access center operated by University Behavioral Healthcare, which is administratively distinct from the academic department of psychiatry. This access center is staffed by professionally trained, clinically experienced care managers (CMs). Their mission is to arrange an appointment for each caller with a network clinician in as timely, convenient and clinically appropriate manner as possible. To do so requires effective communication to ascertain the problems for which the caller wants help.
In a large room in Piscataway, N.J., each CM sits in a sound-isolated carrel equipped with a networked computer. The computer presents checklists and text fields to help the CM conduct a semi-structured interview. It then lists intake appointments that are available at locations convenient for the caller. On the basis of checklist data, the computer shows which available clinicians have special clinical proficiencies that may be required for treating the caller's issue or disorder.

Brown Wins $1 Million in Restitution for Victims of Attorney-Backed Foreclosure Rescue Scam
LOS ANGELES — Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced a $1.1 million judgment against longtime Los Angeles attorney Mitchell Roth after he conned 2,000 desperate homeowners into paying him thousands of dollars to file "frivolous and phony" lawsuits that didn't reduce a penny of mortgage debt for a single client.
"Roth promised foreclosure relief through aggressive litigation, but the frivolous and phony lawsuits he filed instead left 2,000 desperate homeowners in even greater debt," Brown said. "This settlement forces Roth to pay $1.1 million and prohibits him from ever again preying on new victims."
In 2008, Roth, a seasoned Los Angeles attorney, joined with Nevada-based United First, Inc. and the company's owner, Paul Noe, to provide foreclosure relief services to homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages. Noe, who was previously convicted of wire fraud and the subject of a 2004 Department of Insurance Cease and Desist Order, operated the company and handled client solicitations, while Roth provided legal services.
Homeowners were told that if they worked with United First and hired Roth to pursue their cases in court, they could lower or eliminate their mortgage debt and save their homes.
United First charged homeowners some $1,800 in up-front fees, plus at least $1,250 each month, and 50 percent of the cash value of any settlement. If a homeowner's debt was eliminated altogether, the homeowner was required to pay United First 80 percent of the value of the home.
After collecting up-front fees, Roth filed lawsuits on behalf of homeowners, pushing a novel legal argument that a borrower's loan could be deemed invalid because the mortgages had been sold so many times on Wall Street that the lender could not demonstrate who owned it.
Once the lawsuit was filed, Roth did next to nothing to advance the case and often failed to make required court filings, respond to legal motions, comply with court deadlines or appear at court hearings. Instead, Roth tried to extend the lawsuits as long as possible to collect additional monthly fees from clients.
This approach did not generate a single victory in court and did not lower or eliminate the mortgage debt for a single one of the 2,000 homeowners who hired Roth and United First.
Brown filed suit last July, alleging that Roth, Noe and United First engaged in unfair competition, made untrue and misleading statements and violated California's credit counseling and foreclosure consultant laws.
The settlement announced today requires Roth to pay $1 million in restitution to defrauded homeowners plus $125,000 in penalties, and prohibits him from ever engaging in similar conduct in the future.
Roth was admitted to the California State Bar in 1977 and resigned in April 2009, after the State Bar ordered his law firm closed.
Brown's office continues to litigate the case against Noe and United First.
Homeowners who were defrauded by Roth and United First, or victimized by any other foreclosure rescue scam, should contact Brown's office at 1-800-952-5225 or file a complaint online at: www.ag.ca.gov/consumers/general.php.
Homeowners can also file a complaint against a lawyer, a legal specialist or a company purporting to operate as a law firm with the State Bar by calling 1-800-843-9053 or visiting www.calbar.ca.gov.
United First customers who are eligible for a refund will be contacted by mail.
By law, all individuals and businesses offering mortgage-foreclosure consulting, loan modification and foreclosure-assistance services must register with Brown's office and post a $100,000 bond. It is also illegal for loan modification consultants and businesses to charge up-front fees for their services.
Non-profit housing counselors certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provide free help to homeowners. To find a counselor in your area, call 1-800-569-4287.
Brown has sought court orders to shut down more than 30 fraudulent foreclosure-relief companies and has brought criminal charges and obtained lengthy prison sentences for dozens of deceptive loan modification consultants.

NEW LONDON, Conn. – The No. 1 Yale women's sailing team's last weekend of the fall season did not go exactly as planned. Light and variable winds combined with strong currents made for challenging racing at the Women's Atlantic Coast Championship where the team finished eighth overall. This was the first time that the Bulldogs have finished outside of the top three all season long.
A mere total of six races were completed on Saturday of the championship—four in A division and two in B division. None of those races were sailed in more than six knots of wind. However, the Thames River current was plenty strong due to the runoff from the recent storms.
Sophomore crew Katherine Gaumond, who sailed in B division for the Bulldogs on Saturday, said that she and senior skipper Claire Dennis "were constantly deciding whether to sail for the pressure or the shift… it was a difficult decision at times." The shift would point them closer to the next mark, but "boats were going backwards at points" when there wasn't enough pressure to overcome the current, reported Gaumond.
The Bulldogs were second in the standings after Saturday's racing, but more than half of the regatta was to be sailed on Sunday. On Sunday, four races were completed in A division and six in B division for a total of eight in each on the weekend.
Sunday had slightly more wind than Saturday, ranging between five and ten knots from the south. Junior skipper Marlena Fauer, who sailed A divsion for the Bulldogs on Sunday, reported that "it got really shifty at the top since the windward mark was right near the land."
Even though Yale changed skippers and crews between each day of racing, the team's A and B division boats finished with just one point of difference in their respective scores. They each had three top five finishes, but four double-digit scores as well. That said, only one boat in the entire event managed to avoid a double-digit score this weekend.
This may not be the result that the Bulldogs were hoping to end on, but when considering their fall results as a whole, it was certainly a successful season. They will now take a well-deserved, three-month break before returning to competition in March. During that time off, the Bulldogs will continue their physical training routine, but otherwise be left to take advantage of opportunities that they often cannot due to athletic commitments.
The Bulldogs have a lot to look forward to in the spring because the spring season culminates in the ICSA Women's National Championship.

A man who built one of California's most successful food companies was sentenced to six years in prison for scheming to inflate tomato prices and deceiving consumers about his products' quality.
Frederick Scott Salyer, former owner of SK Foods, was accused of bribing buyers with companies such as Kraft Foods and Frito Lay to pay inflated prices for his tomato products, prices that were then passed along to consumers.
He also instructed employees to write false reports about the tomatoes' quality, lying about mold content and whether the product qualified as organic, federal prosecutors said.
"Scott Salyer used bribery and fraud to deceive his customers about SK Foods' products in order to maximize his profits," said Benjamin B. Wagner, the U.S. attorney in Sacramento. "He turned his company into a machine of corruption and economic crime."

Tony Barley, one of the great hard local climbers of the late 60s and early 70s, died on the weekend in the UK.
The tough Yorkshireman left some legendary and groundbreaking routes in his wake here in the Western Cape including:
Roulette, (Tony Barley, Robin Barley, Don Hartley, Mike Scott) on Table Mountain;
Last Laugh (Tony Barley, Don Hartley) on Table Mountain;
Apollo (Tony Barley, Robin Barley, Mike Scott) on Castle Rocks;
Tony also established many good hard routes in what was then the Transvaal, such as Armageddon on Krantzberg. Back in the UK Tony did much the same as he did here.
If you have any knowledge of Tony's life as a climber please share it.
Charles 'Snorty' Edelstein, Tony Dick, Tienie Versveld, Bruce Daniel, David Davies and the rest of the Table Mountain crew - let's go and hang out on Roulette and Last Laugh on Friday. Snorty can brew up a big billy - bring a cup. Maybe we can get Mike and Don to join us?
Our deepest sympathies Robin,
Hilton Davies

Re: Tony Barley unties for the last time
Tony and his brother Robin defined the word "classic" in the Magaliesberg Kloofs. Chances are if you've done 5 good routes in the kloofs, 3 of them would have been opened by the Barley Brothers. Last Rites, The Moke, The Right Stuff, Dexter Direct, Hourglass, Short Circuit, Suicide, High Noon, Red Column Face, the list goes on. In high school, my climbing buddy and I would hunt down their routes, knowing they'd deliver full value. Some of them I've done dozens of times.
Tony, thanks for an increadible trad legacy. Rest in peace.

Re: Tony Barley unties for the last time
Tony certainly was the quintessential golden boy of the golden are of trad climbing in SA. Hilton, we can do the valediction tomorrow on Roulette. We need to make tea in a hanging stance at the crux. Bring your hexes. We are going to do the route without cams in the style he did it.

Re: Tony Barley unties for the last time
The two routes that most defined my early climbing career were in Upper Tonquani. Old tradders like Snort, and younger ones like Hector will understand when I say that more than 30 years on I can still remember every sequence, every kineasthetic resonance of these routes. The routes were Barley Bros gems: Last Rites and The Moke, as quintessential to the history of Magaliesberg tradding as Deep Purple's " Sweet Child in Time" is to classic rock music.

1 Installing the Binary Release
The system is delivered as a single compressed tar file.
To browse the on-line HTML documentation, Netscape or an equivalent browser supporting frames is needed.
Installation Procedure
When installed, the entire system, except for a small start-up script, resides in a single directory tree. The location of this directory tree can be chosen arbitrarily by the installer, and it does not need to be in the user's $PATH. The only requirements are that the file system where it is placed has enough free space, and that the users who run Erlang/OTP have read access to it. In the example below, the directory tree is assumed to be located at /usr/local/erlang, which is here called the top-level directory.
It is assumed that you have the compressed tar file, the name of which is <PREFIX>.tar.gz, where <PREFIX> is a string denoting the particular Erlang/OTP release, e.g. otp_LXA_11930_sunos5_R9B.
Wherever the string <PREFIX> is used below, it should be replaced by the actual name prefix of the compressed tar file.
The tape archive file does not have one single directory in which all other files are rooted. Therefore the tape archive file must be extracted into an empty (newly created) directory.
If the top-level directory does not already exist, create it:
mkdir /usr/local/erlang
Change the current directory to the top level directory:
cd /usr/local/erlang
Create the installation directory with an appropriate name. For example:
mkdir otp_r7b
Change to the installation directory, e.g.
cd otp_r7b
Assuming the compressed tar file resides in the directory <SOME-DIR>,. extract the compressed tar file into the current directory:
gunzip -c <SOME-DIR>/<PREFIX>.tar.gz | tar xfp -
Read the README file in the installation directory for last minute updates, before proceeding.
Run the Install script in the installation directory, with the absolute path of the installation directory as argument,
./Install /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b
and supply answers to the prompts.
In most cases, there is a default answer in square brackets ([]). If the default is satisfactory, just press <Return>. In general you are only prompted for one thing:
"Do you want to use a minimal system startup instead of the SASL startup?"
In a minimal system, only the Kernel and STDLIB applications are loaded and started. If the SASL startup is used, the SASL application is included as well. Normally, the minimal system is enough.
Make Erlang/OTP available for users, either by putting the path /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin in users $PATH variable, or link the executable /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin/erl accordingly, e.g.:
ln -s /usr/local/erlang/otp_r7b/bin/erl /usr/local/bin/erl
1.2 Windows
The system is delivered as a single .exe file.
To browse the on-line HTML documentation, Netscape or an equivalent browser supporting frames is needed.
Installation Procedure
The installation procedure is is automated. Double-click the .exe file icon and follow the instructions.
