Might be the first time I've ever seen Felix picked in the first round! He's good but WOW!
Important Note:
Remember the 10 hour timer starts at 8:00am Saturday morning!
If a manager has been on the clock for 10 hours the next manager in line can skip him.
If you get skipped you can make your pick as soon as you visit the league website again.
Say an owner makes a pick at midnight. The next owner would be on the clock and have to pick by 10 AM. Considering many folks are sleeping during that time and then get up for work, I could see how that kind of scenario might cause some problems. I don't anticipate having a problem, as I'm fortunate in that I have an occupation where I'm able to work from home. But not everyone is so lucky, LOL.
Are there any measures to give those folks the benefit of the doubt?

When I have a pick coming up I'm going to try and send my top 2/3 to atomic. With the time zone difference, its rough over here. Basically take your AM time and switch it to PM, then add a couple of hours and you see where I'm at... I don't think it should really be much of a problem though for most. The differences between picks 211 and 213 are minimal, if you do accidently miss your window.
I am happy to make arrangements to keep in contact with people via email, text message or phone call. A couple of people have already made such arrangements. So there are plenty of ways to keep up to date on the draft and get your picks in on time.
If your turn is coming up and you are going to be away from a computer just send a short list of players to me or another person in the league and have them post your pick for you. You can send me a text message asking for draft updates. (PM me for my cell phone number). Or you can call me for an update.
In the worst case scenario a manager may get skipped, but it won't cost them too much because they can make their pick as soon as they log into the website. It is highly unlikely that more than a couple of picks will have been made in that interval, so the quality of available players will not have changed.
Without that time limit people don't feel any pressure to check the site often and then the draft gets really, really slow. Too slow.
Last year in the Redszone Dynasty League we had one guy that got skipped about five times, and a couple of guys that got skipped once. That was all. And that includes the last few rounds when we used a 6 hour limit.
I have participated in three slow drafts using the time limit in the last couple of years. All of those drafts went smoothly. Sure, people got skipped a few times but it was never a problem and it didn't have any effect on the quality of their teams. I think we will be OK.
I agree with Atomic on the 10 hour maximum time limit to make a team's current selection. Once a commissioner opens the door by not strictly adhereing to the rules, problems can and will begin. Now having said that, I'll probably have it happen to me! I hope not b/c I try to check in often like right now as the official start of 8:00am Saturday has begun.
I hope things start rolling now. I'm itching to make my next couple of picks!
In any event, thanks for answering the question. Not a big deal. Just was curious about that.

Suggestion- If everyone (except "thatcoolguy-not really practical) would give their cell phone or home phone number's to our Commish Atomic Dumpling via email or a Redszone PM the drafting process would be faster. You could even request a text. Atomic said on this thread that he would gladly give his number out if it would help (with the draft). Be sure and share your 1st name with the Commish so Atomic can ask whomever answers your phone for you by your real name. I can't imagine, LOL, if he called and asked my wife and asked her "Is Vada there?" She would tell him that he has the wrong number.
Now no one wants to be bothered around the hours of 11PM through 6 or 7am (if you work a 2nd or 3rd shift let Atomic know) but at all other times this could be a benefit to us all. I have already PM'd my cell # to Atomic. Perhaps you will want to too. Just a thought.

Ask Matt: Avoiding brokerage maintenance fees
- Account maintenance fees have fortunately been going away
- It can take some digging on broker%27s websites to see if they charge maintenance fees
- Some fees may look like maintenance fees%2C but might offer value that makes them acceptable
USA TODAY markets reporter Matt Krantz answers a different reader question every weekday. To submit a question, e-mail Matt at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: Do any brokerages still charge account "maintenance fees" and how do you find them?
A: Some brokerages charge investors a fee just for having an account. Fortunately, such maintenance fees are fading away and are easy to sniff out ahead of time.
Most of the brokerage firms that charged maintenance fees have either finally gotten rid of them or are making it easier to avoid them. E-Trade had been one of the longest holdouts to keep a maintenance fee. But it eliminated it years ago for non-retirement accounts.
TRACK YOUR STOCKS:Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
There are still some maintenance fees out there, though. Vanguard, for instance, charges a $20-a-year fee for accounts with less than $50,000. That maintenance fee, while an annoyance, may still be well worth it for some investors since investment fees charged by Vanguard are often lower than at other brokerage firms and mutual fund companies.
There are some other fees that are often confused with maintenance fees, but are something else. ShareBuilder, for instance, charges $12 a month for its ShareBuilder Advantage brokerage account. But that fee allows investors to make 12 trades a month for no cost, so it's more of a subscription price than a maintenance fee.
Investors, though, are wise to always check what kinds of fees they're going to be charged before opening an account. Maintenance fees that don't create any value for the investors can be a major drag on returns over time, and are best avoided.
Brokerages usually don't make it completely easy to find if they charge a maintenance fee. Investors can usually look them up by finding the fees page, which lists the commission. There's typically an "other fees" link at the bottom of the fees page that will disclose a maintenance fee. You can always ask to make sure.

| 1.1°C Belfast
Cardiff face being without Craig Bellamy for a critical period of their battle for Premier League survival, starting with Tuesday night's clash with Aston Villa, after the striker was charged with violent conduct by the Football Association.
Bellamy clashed with Swansea midfielder Jonathan de Guzman in Saturday's south Wales derby, appearing to catch the Dutchman with his arm as he ran past him during the second half of Cardiff's 3-0 defeat.
The incident was not seen by referee Andre Marriner and his fellow officials, and an FA statement read: ''Cardiff City's Craig Bellamy has been charged by The FA for violent conduct following an incident which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.''
Bellamy has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge. Should the former Wales striker choose to accept it he will face a three-match ban and miss home Premier League meetings with Villa and Hull, either side of this weekend's FA Cup clash with Wigan.
Cardiff sit 19th in the table and, with an inferior goal difference to the sides above them, are effectively four points from safety ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Villans.
The Bluebirds need to get back on track against Villa, with or without Bellamy, or face the prospect of being cut off at the foot of the table.
Solskjaer is confident his men can do so, but acknowledged their derby nightmare had seen their hopes of avoiding the drop take a sizeable backward step.
He said: "We have two home games next and we have targeted them to get some points. We are striving for continued improvement, to develop the team and you saw signs of the team developing at Manchester City and Manchester United.
"I was pleased with the way we managed those games. The Swansea game was a step back, maybe even two steps back, in terms of the result and the way we played. We let them have too much possession and we need to bounce back and start again. That is the only way in football."
Villa boss Paul Lambert remains confident his side will avoid the drop, as they did last year, despite the dismal display against West Ham at the weekend, which saw the Midlands club suffer a 2-0 defeat in front of their home fans.
"There are two ways to look at it - (the situation) will either take you under, or you thrive on the challenge," said Lambert.
"It's the same as last year. You either meet it head-on or it takes you under.
"We came through last year when we were in a worse position than now, so we will come through this one.
"If you look at it everybody is capable of beating everybody else, with one win taking you up the table, one defeat dropping you down. That is the way it is at the moment."
The one downside for Lambert in visiting Cardiff is that close friend and fellow Scot Malky Mackay is no longer in charge after he was sacked just after Christmas.
Despite getting Cardiff promoted to the top flight last summer, Mackay found himself at the mercy of controversial owner Vincent Tan.
"I've spoken to him, but it's not something where I've sat and asked 'What happened?'," said Lambert.
"The job he did was excellent, getting promoted, which is never an easy thing to do, and he had the crowd right behind him.
"But football is a strange game at times.
"It's still going to be a really good atmosphere, and whether Malky was in charge or not, it was always going to be a hard game."
Lambert has doubts over defenders Ryan Bertrand (ribs) and Ron Vlaar (hamstring).

FOR610: Reverse-Engineering Malware: Malware Analysis Tools and Techniques Waitlist
Mon, February 15 - Sat, February 20, 2016
Lenny has an incredible ability to make highly technical concepts seem easy.
The best SANS course I've ever attended, and it was easy to say that, great structure of knowledge, great teaching skills, great function.
This popular course explores malware analysis tools and techniques in depth. FOR610 training has helped forensic investigators, incident responders, security engineers, and IT administrators acquire the practical skills to examine malicious programs that target and infect Windows systems. Understanding the capabilities of malware is critical to an organization's ability to derive threat intelligence, respond to information security incidents, and fortify defenses. This course builds a strong foundation for reverse-engineering malicious software using a variety of system and network monitoring utilities, a disassembler, a debugger, and other tools useful for turning malware inside-out.
The course begins by covering fundamental aspects of malware analysis. You will learn how to set up an inexpensive and flexible laboratory to examine the inner workings of malicious software, and how to use the lab to uncover characteristics of real-world malware samples. Then you will learn to examine the specimens' behavioral patterns and code. The course continues by discussing essential x86 assembly language concepts. You will examine malicious code to understand its key components and execution flow. In addition, you will learn to identify common malware characteristics by looking at suspicious Windows API patterns employed by bots, rootkits, keyloggers, downloaders, and other types of malware.
You will learn how to analyze malicious documents that take the form of Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files. Such documents act as a common infection vector and may need to be examined when dealing with large-scale infections as well as targeted attacks. The course also explores memory forensics approaches to examining malicious software, especially useful if the software exhibits rootkit characteristics.
The course culminates with a series of capture-the-flag style challenges designed to reinforce the techniques learned in class and provide additional opportunities to learn practical, hands-on malware analysis skills in a fun setting.
Hands-on workshop exercises are a critical aspect of this course and allow you to apply malware analysis techniques by examining malware in a lab that you control. When performing the exercises, you will study the supplied specimens' behavioral patterns and examine key portions of their code. To support these activities, you will receive pre-built Windows and Linux virtual machines that include tools for examining and interacting with malware.
You Will Learn How To:
- Build an isolated, controlled laboratory environment for analyzing the code and behavior of malicious programs.
- Employ network and system-monitoring tools to examine how malware interacts with the file system, registry, network, and other processes in a Windows environment.
- Uncover and analyze malicious JavaScript and VBScript components of web pages, which are often used by exploit kits for drive-by attacks.
- Control relevant aspects of the malicious program's behavior through network traffic interception and code patching to perform effective malware analysis.
- Use a disassembler and a debugger to examine the inner workings of malicious Windows executables.
- Bypass a variety of packers and other defensive mechanisms designed by malware authors to misdirect, confuse, and otherwise slow down the analyst.
- Recognize and understand common assembly-level patterns in malicious code, such as DLL injection and anti-analysis measures.
- Assess the threat associated with malicious documents, such as PDF and Microsoft Office files, in the context of targeted attacks.
- Derive Indicators of Compromise from malicious executables to perform incident response triage.
- Utilize practical memory forensics techniques to examine the capabilities of rootkits and other malicious program types.

A properly configured laptop is required to participate in this course. Prior to the start of class, you must install virtualization software and meet minimum hardware requirements as described below. If you do not carefully read and follow these instructions, you will leave the class unsatisfied, because you will not be able to participate in hands on-exercises that are essential to this course.
The following are minimal requirements for your laptop:
- Intel-compatible 2 GHz dual-core CPU (a faster processor is recommended)
- 8 GB RAM (more memory is recommended)
- 60 GB of available disk space (more space is recommended)
- USB port 2.0 or higher (USB port 3.0 is recommended)
- Ethernet network interface card (NIC) or built-in Ethernet network port

Note that your laptop needs to have both wireless and wired network capabilities. You also should have the ability to have local administrative rights on the system you will be using during class.
Note that your laptop needs to have both wireless and wired network capabilities. You also should have the ability to have local administrative rights on the system you will be using during class.
In addition, you will need to have the ability to extract large compressed files. Unzipping utilities built into the operating system might struggle with this. For this reason, please download and install the free 7zip tool.
The Need for VMware Virtualization
Please download and install VMware Workstation 10 or higher or VMware Fusion 6 or higher prior to class. If you do not own a licensed copy of VMware Workstation or Fusion, you can obtain a free 30-day trial copy from VMware. VMware will e-mail you a time-limited serial number when you register for the trial at their web site. Please note that VMware Player is not sufficient for the class because it does not support snapshot functionality, which we will want to use. Also, VirtualBox is not appropriate because of compatibility and troubleshooting problems you might encounter during class.
You will be asked to take multiple snapshots of virtual machines during the course. Experience has shown that students with limited free disk space are more likely to experience snapshot and other VMware performance problems. Please test your ability to run a virtual machine, create snapshot, and restore a snapshot in a timely manner (creating a snapshot should take less than 2 minutes). Some disk encryption software interferes with VMware's ability to create snapshots in a timely fashion.
Using Your System for Malware Analysis
Hands-on exercises will involve operating with malicious code. Although VMware will provide you with reasonable isolation, we do not recommend using your day-to-day production system as your laboratory machine. We expect you to exercise due caution when handling malicious code.
Additional Tools You Will Receive
We will provide you with additional tools for completing hands-on exercises, including a pre-built Linux virtual machine (a version of REMnux). You will also receive a pre-built Windows virtual machine (REM Workstation) along with a corresponding license. Hardware requirements outlined above are meant to ensure that you have sufficient memory and disk space available to simultaneously run the virtual machines.
Final Checklist
Review the following checklist to make sure that your laptop is prepared for the course:
- Your laptop meets hardware requirements outlined in this note, including an Ethernet card and sufficient processor, memory, and disk space.
- VMware Workstation 10 or higher or VMware Fusion or higher is installed and operational with a valid license.
- The VMware license will not expire before the class (if using a trial copy).
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

This chapter explains how to integrate the Announcements service into a WebCenter Portal: Framework application at design time. For more information about managing and including announcements, see:
"Managing the Announcements and Discussions Services" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal
"Working with the Announcements Service" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal: Spaces
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 32.2, "Basic Configuration for the Announcements Service"
Section 32.3, "Advanced Information for the Announcements Service"
The Announcements service lets you create and expose announcements on your application pages. Access to announcements boosts community participation, problem resolution, and knowledge sharing.
You can use the Links service to link announcements to other services, such as Events or Discussions. For example, suppose your company is announcing a new product, you can link from the announcement directly to a discussion forum, where potential customers can ask other customers about the product, or link to an instant messenger to speak directly with a customer service representative to purchase the product.
Announcements can show either forum-level announcements or global announcements (that is, system announcements not specific to a forum).
This section includes the following subsections:
With the Announcements service, you can do the following:
Create announcements.
Edit and delete existing announcement.
Mail announcements.
Personalize the Announcements view. You can select to display all announcements or only announcements sent today, this week, or this month. You can also view future, active, or expired announcements.
Manage announcements, such as publishing announcements on a later date and specifying auto-expire on certain dates.
The Announcements service is integrated with many other services in WebCenter Portal, such as Activity Stream, RSS, and Instant Messaging and Presence, and you can link announcements to other services, such as Events and Discussions. For example, suppose your company is announcing a new product. You can link from the announcement directly to a discussion forum, where potential customers can ask other customers about the product, or link to an instant messenger where customers can chat with a customer service representative about the product. With WebCenter Portal live search, announcement titles are searchable, and with Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, announcement titles and text are searchable.
The Announcements service requires a discussions server. You must install and configure the discussions server that comes with Oracle Fusion Middleware.
At runtime, users who have been granted the
create permission can post announcements, and these announcements are visible to all users who have
view permission. For example, an application administrator can use this service to announce the availability of a new feature or the plan to shut down the application temporarily for maintenance.
Figure 32-1 shows a sample announcement at runtime.
Figure 32-1 Sample Announcement in the Announcements - Quick View Task Flow
To view announcements in the Announcement Manager, ensure that the Announcements task flow has been added to your Framework application. Then log in to your application and click the Open Announcement Manager icon in the Announcements task flow (Figure 32-2).
Figure 32-2 Open Announcement Manager Icon
The Open Announcement Manager icon does not display if the user does not have the required privileges.
Figure 32-3 shows the sample announcement in the Announcement Manager.
Figure 32-3 Sample Announcement in the Announcement Manager
Application administrators in Framework applications can access the Announcement Manager, which provides Create, RSS, and Refresh icons, and Show dropdown lists to control the display of announcements on the page. Edit, Delete, Mail, and Links icons are available for each announcement in the list.
Depending on the privileges users have on the page and whether the required services in WebCenter Portal are configured in the application, users may see only a subset of these options in the Announcement Manager. For example, the Delete icon is displayed only to users with administrative privileges.
For more information about the service at runtime, see Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal: Spaces.
This section describes required steps for adding this service to your Framework application. It includes the following subsections:
Section 32.2.2, "Adding the Announcements Service at Design Time"
To take advantage of the Announcements service, you must first create a connection to the discussions server from your application. To do so, ensure that you have the connection information for the discussions server.
The Announcements service requires a Discussion Forum connection to the discussions server. You can register additional Discussion Forum connections, but only one connection is active at a time.
When you create a Discussion Forum connection or set a connection as active, both the Announcements and Discussions services use this same connection. If you have an existing connection, then you can skip this section and see Section 32.2.2, "Adding the Announcements Service at Design Time."
If you do not have an existing connection, then you must create a new Discussion Forum connection.
While you can set up the connections to back-end servers at design time in Oracle JDeveloper, you can later add, delete, or modify connections in your deployed environment using Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
To set up the Announcements connection:
In Oracle JDeveloper, open the application in which you plan to consume Announcements.
If you created a Discussion Forum connection for the Discussions service, then that is used by default for the Announcements service. No extra configuration is required.
In the Application Navigator, under Application Resources, right-click Connections, then select the new connection Discussion Forum from the list.
On the Name page, select to create the connection in Application Resources. (A connection in Application Resources is available only for that application, while a connection in IDE Connections is available for all applications you create. If you plan to use the connection in other applications, then select IDE Connections so you do not need to re-create it.)
If you create a connection in IDE and not in the application, then the connection must be added to the application. For example, in the Resource Palette under IDE Connections, right-click the connection and select Add to Application.
For Connection Name, enter a meaningful name; for example,
Select the Set as default connection checkbox. You can have multiple connections, but only one can be active (default). If you have different discussions servers (for example, for each page in a space), then do not select the checkbox, but the service requires that one connection be marked as the active connection (Figure 32-4).
After you create a connection as the active connection, you cannot edit it so that it is not the default. To use a different default connection, you must create a new connection and mark that as the default connection.
Figure 32-4 Create Discussion Connections, Step 1
Click Next.
On the General page, enter values for the required parameters:
URL: Enter the URL of the discussions server; for example:
Admin User: The user name of your discussions server administrator; for example,
admin. This account is used by the Discussions and Announcement services to perform administrative operations on behalf of WebCenter Portal users.
In WebCenter Portal: Spaces, this account is mostly used for managing space-related discussions and announcements. It is not necessary for this user to be a super admin. However, the user must have administrative privileges on the current root category for Spaces, that is, the category (on the discussions server) under which all space-related discussions and announcements are stored.
If your Framework application does not include space-related functionality, the administrator's user name is not required.
Optionally, enter a value for the other parameters:
Connection Timeout: Specify a suitable timeout for the connection. This is the length of time (in seconds) the application waits for a response from the discussions server before issuing a connection timeout message. The default is -1, which means that the service default is used. The service default is 10 seconds.
Policy URI for Authenticated Access: Select the SAML token client policy this connection uses for authenticated access to the discussions server Web service. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an XML-based standard for passing security tokens defining authentication and authorization rights. An attesting entity (that has trust relationship with the receiver) vouches for the verification of the subject by method called sender-vouches. Options available are:
WSS 1.0 SAML Token Client Policy (oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy)
WSS 1.1 SAML Token With Message Protection Client Policy (oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy)
The client policy specified must be compatible with the service policy that is configured for the
OWCDiscussionsServiceAuthenticated endpoint in the discussions server. Out-of-the-box, the default service policy is WSS 1.0 SAML Token Service Policy (oracle/wss10_saml_token_service_policy).
Policy URI for Public Access: Select the client policy this connection uses to enforce message security and integrity for public access to the discussions server Web service. Options available are:
None - This is the default setting.
WSS 1.1 Message Protection Client Policy (oracle/wss11_with_message_protection_client_policy)
The client policy specified must be compatible with the service policy that is configured for the
OWCDiscussionsServicePublic endpoint in the discussions server. Out-of-the-box, a service policy is not configured for public access.
Recipient Key Alias: Enter the recipient key alias to be used for message protected policies (applicable to the
OWCDiscussionsServicePublic and
OWCDiscussionsServiceAuthenticated endpoints). This is the alias to the certificate that contains the public key of the discussions server in the configured keystore.
For more information, see the chapter "Configuring WS-Security for WebCenter Portal's Applications and Components" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.
Figure 32-5 Create Discussions Connection, Step 2
Click Test Connection, and if it is successful, then click Next.
On the Create Discussion Connection - Step 3 of 3 page, you can configure additional parameters. For example:
application.root.category.id: (WebCenter Portal: Spaces only) The application root category ID on the discussions server under which all discussion forums are stored. For example, if set to 3, then all forums are stored inside the category 3.
To encrypt property values, such as passwords, click Add Secured Property.
Click Finish. Your connection should now appear as a node under Application Resources - Connections.
This section explains a basic incorporation of the Announcement service.
Both the Announcements and the Announcements - Quick View task flows display current announcements. The Announcements task flow additionally offers tools for managing announcements within the task flow. With the Announcements - Quick View task flow, you must click the Open Announcement Manager icon to manage announcements, and administrators can configure this task flow to remove all announcement management functionality.
Table 32-1 Announcements Service Task Flows
|Task Flow
This task flow displays a view that allows the user to see all current announcements and perform operations based on their privileges.
For a Moderator, all command buttons are shown, but for a Reader, only the refresh and personalization options are shown. The personalization option lets users select the number of days to display announcements.
This task flow displays a view that shows various categories of quick links to announcements.
The look and feel of this view changes with the optional parameter values given for rendering the task flow region.
For information on how to add this task flow, see Section 32.3.1, "How to Add the Announcements - Quick View Task Flow."
The Announcements task flow provides a complete view of your announcements. To add the Announcements task flow to your Framework application:
Follow the steps described in Chapter 3, "Preparing Your Development Environment" to implement security and create a new customizable page in your application.
Open the page on which you want to add the service.
In the Resource Palette, expand My Catalogs, WebCenter Portal - Services Catalog, and Task Flows.
Drag Announcements from the Resource Palette and drop it onto the page inside of the
begin and
end tags.
When prompted, select Region as the way to create the task flow (and confirm with Add Library). This operation may take a moment to complete.
In the Edit Task Flow Binding dialog, enter a value for the
parentId parameter.
The discussions server could be shared with multiple Framework applications. Each Framework application should create a forum on the discussions server. Enter that forum ID here as the
parentId; for example,
Click OK.
Save and run your page.
The Announcements service task flows have required and optional task flow binding parameters.
You can adjust the parameter values when you drop the task flows onto a page or after you have placed a task flow on a page:
Navigate to the Edit Task Flow Binding dialog by clicking the Bindings tab at the bottom of the page (next to the Source tab).
Under Executables, you'll see the task flow you added. Figure 32-6 shows an example of a Search task flow in the Executables section.
Figure 32-6 Page Data Binding Definition
Select the task flow, and next to the Executables heading, click the Edit selected element (pencil) icon.
In the Edit Task Flow Binding dialog Figure 32-7, revise the binding parameter values as required.
Figure 32-7 Edit Task Flow Binding Dialog for Announcements - Quick View
When you are finished, click OK.
Save and run your page to see the results.
Table 32-2 describes the properties that are unique to the Announcements service task flows.
Table 32-2 Announcements Service Task Flow Parameters
|Task Flow
The forum ID in the discussions server under which announcement objects are maintained. Each Framework application should create a forum on the discussions server. Enter that forum ID here; for example,
If this parameter is not specified, then announcements default to global announcements.
Announcements - Quick View
A Boolean value representing whether to remove the announcement title (subject) and show the announcement body as is.
The default value is
Announcements - Quick View
The number of announcements to display announcement details (that is, the body of the announcement). Users can click the title to display the full announcement content in rich text mode.
The value you enter for
Announcements - Quick View
For announcements that display announcement body, this value specifies how many characters to display for each announcement.
Enter an Expression Language (EL) expression. For example, when the value is set to the EL expression
If no value is specified, then it displays 200 characters. If a non-valid positive integer value is specified, then it displays all characters in plain text.
This parameter takes effect with
Announcements - Quick View
The number of announcements to show in a page on Extended Quick View.
Announcements - Quick View
The number of announcements to show in the Quick View.
Announcements - Quick View
A Boolean value representing whether to display the task flow personalization feature.
Announcements - Quick View
A Boolean value representing whether to launch the announcement in a popup or navigate to the Announcement Manager. The default behavior is to launch in a popup. Enter
Announcements - Quick View
A Boolean value representing whether to display details for all announcements in extended quick view. Default value is
Announcements - Quick View
You can change the look and feel of the Announcements - Quick View with the parameter values. For example, Figure 32-12 shows the Announcements - Quick View at runtime with the
freeFlowView parameter set to false (or empty).
Figure 32-8 Announcements - Quick View with Optional Parameters
Figure 32-13 shows the Announcements - Quick View at runtime with the
freeFlowView parameter set to
Figure 32-9 Announcements - Quick View with freeFlowView Parameter
By default, authenticated users of Framework applications can view and participate in announcements. Any user who has logged in to a WebCenter Portal application can view announcements, and users with sufficient permissions can create announcements. To create announcements, you must be a moderator or administrator on the back-end discussions server.
In an unsecured Framework application, identity propagation cannot happen. A user is a guest (or anonymous) user who can view only public categories and forums. In an unsecured application, the
parentId (forum ID) from which announcements are fetched should be a public forum. If the forum is not public, then an error is reported. If the
parentId parameter is not specified at all, then WebCenter Portal cannot fetch global announcements (that is, announcements not scoped to a forum): global announcements are not available for public users. Rather than relying to global announcements, each Framework application should reserve its own forum ID.
In an ADF-secured Framework application, identity propagation is enabled. Based on the identity, appropriate permissions are matched and corresponding actions are enabled. The user name that you use to log in to the application is used to log in to the discussions server. The recommended approach is to have the discussions server and the Framework application point to the same identity store. This way, your users can log in to the application one time and automatically connect to the discussions server.
The Announcements services requires that the identity store be LDAP-based; that is, not file-based with
ADF security is configured by default if you created your application using WebCenter Portal's Framework application template. For information about configuring ADF security, see Section 68.3, "Configuring ADF Security."
This section describes optional features available with this service. It includes the following subsections:
Section 32.3.1, "How to Add the Announcements - Quick View Task Flow"
Section 32.3.3, "Obtaining Space RSS News Feed URL for the Announcements Service"
The Announcements - Quick View provides a snapshot (dashboard) view of the announcements (Figure 32-10).
Figure 32-10 Announcements - Quick View
By default, announcements in the Announcements - Quick View task flow show announcement titles as links. But you can configure the task flow to display only announcement titles, titles with some amount of content, or only content.
Click an announcement to view it in a popup. From there, you can select the Mail icon to mail the announcement to anyone you choose or select the Links icon to link to this announcement (Figure 32-10).
Figure 32-11 Announcement Popup
The Announcements - Quick View task flow includes numerous parameters to customize your view. For example, you can remove the link to the Announcement Manager, to present announcements to end users where manage controls are not needed. The task flow lists 10 announcements by default, but you can change this number and how much of the announcement is displayed. The More Announcements ... link launches a popup containing the complete list of all announcements with pagination behavior. This is called the Extended Quick View (or Mini View).
To add the Announcements - Quick View to your Framework application, follow the same instructions that you did for the Announcements task flow in Section 32.2.2, "Adding the Announcements Service at Design Time," but drag and drop Announcements - Quick View onto the page.
Table 32-2 describes the Announcements - Quick View parameters. The look and feel of the Announcements - Quick View changes with the values provided for these parameters. For more information, see Section 184.108.40.206, "How to Modify Announcements Service Task Flow Parameters."
You can change the look and feel of the Announcements - Quick View with the parameter values. For example, Figure 32-12 shows the Announcements - Quick View at runtime with the
freeFlowView parameter set to false (or empty).
Figure 32-12 Announcements - Quick View with Optional Parameters
Figure 32-13 shows the Announcements - Quick View at runtime with the
freeFlowView parameter set to
Figure 32-13 Announcements - Quick View with freeFlowView Parameter
You can expose WebCenter Portal: Spaces functionality in a WebCenter Portal: Framework application. Your Framework application users can find out what is happening in a specific space through RSS news feeds.
Configure RSS news feeds for the Announcements service to enable users to view space announcements from within a Framework application. To obtain the space RSS news feed URL for the Announcements service, use either of the following APIs for Spaces:
To obtain an RSS feed URL, you must identify the space (by name or GUID) and specify the service required (by service ID). The service ID for the Announcements service is
For information about how to use these APIs, see Section 18.104.22.168.9, "Retrieving RSS Feed URLs for Space Services."

SMCCRC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
The Promise Resource Center
The Southern Maryland Child Care Resource Center (SMCCRC) is in the process of renaming and rebranding to "The Promise Resource Center". SMCCRC is the leading provider of training, resources and certification for those who care for children in the tri-county area of Southern Maryland (Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's). Specifically, they provide an array of services to support parents, grandparents and licensed family and center child care providers. The purpose of the entity is to provide a brighter future for children by educating and supporting their parents and caregivers.
The center's services are constantly evolving based on community need, but include technical assistance to center and family-based child care providers, free referrals to parents seeking licensed child care providers, school readiness training for parents that aligns with the Maryland standards, accreditation workshops and certification training for licensed child care providers, intervention strategies for at-risk families and many other services that help with the goal of developing safe, stable, and independent families and effective licensed child care providers in our community.
The SMCCRC team identified the various constituencies as Parents, Family Providers, Child Care Center Staff, Caregivers, Foster Parents, Public School Teachers and Partners. When asked which constituencies would be the "bulls-eye" of our target the answer was Parents and Caregivers (the main targets that would fall under caregivers were Family Providers and Center Staff.
• H.S. diploma or above
• 25-40 yrs old
• Employed full time
• Aspire to be good parents (striving mindset)
• Want kids to be successful students
• Have special needs/questions
• Interested in learning
• Less confident in their own competence
• Little family support system
Family Providers
• H.S. diploma
• Accredited and know the standards/requirements
• Highly motivated to help the kids in their day care (hands on)
• Personal growth is important
• High self-esteem
• Competitive mindset
Day Care Centers
• Director or Owner
• Privately Owned (not chain)
• Highly profit driven
• Budget conscious
• State accredited
If we had to pick one single target for you to focus on as you think about logo design it would be the "parent" group described above. If we get it right for them, we believe the logo will also have strong appeal to the equally important audience of professional caregivers (who often are parents themselves).
Warm, friendly, relaxed and open. We want the colors, copy and visuals to communicate a sense of openness and a welcoming environment in which parents and caregivers can feel comfortable in engaging with us. It should reflect our sincerity around our mission to help them assist their children in fulfilling their own highest potential. The right balance of original imagery should reflect the nurturing environment and the focus on the ultimate goal of the realized potential of the child along with the adults (parents and caregivers) who we serve with the resources, support and educational certifications we provide.
• The Promise Resource Center – The idea for this name came from the idea that the very act of bringing a child in to the world is a promise of sorts - to that child, to yourself and to society - that you will help raise this child to reach his or her full potential… so they might fulfill their own promise as a human being.
To help us define the brand essence or "aura" – the feeling people should have about us - the green words below (Supportive and Competent) were the team's favorites at the end of our branding session. The yellow highlighted words were among the favorites, with "inspiring" leading the way.

Advance praise for Confessions of Marie Antoinette
"Juliet Grey brings her trilogy on Marie Antoinette's life to a triumphant finale, depicting with sensitivity and compelling vividness the collapse of a bygone glamorous world and the courageous transformation of its ill-fated queen."—C. W. Gortner, author of The Queen's Vow
"A heartfelt journey with Marie Antoinette in her wrenching last days . . . We see the end looming that is still veiled from her eyes, and knowing her hopes are in vain makes it all the more poignant. Far from the 'let them eat cake' woman of legend, Juliet Grey's Marie Antoinette reveals herself to be a person we can admire for her courage, her loyalty, and her love of her family and her adopted country, France."—Margaret George

text: Show Hide image Culture 20 September 2012 Paul Auster: "I use my own life as an example" The Books Interview. Sign-up Your new book, Winter Journal, is a memoir of sorts – as was your first prose book, The Invention of Solitude. Was that earlier work on your mind when you were writing this one? Not really but I do see the connection over 30 years later. Some people have called them "bookends". They're linked in some way because the subject is similar but the approach is completely different in this new book. Stylistically, they've nothing in common, though perhaps emotionally they do. You used the word "bookends" – but presumably this book isn't the end for you? No, this isn't the end! By "winter", I simply mean that I've entered a new season. And I hope it's a long and fruitful season. But it is, mathematically, the last quarter of my life and there's nothing to be done about that. It looks as though you're entering that final quarter with something like equanimity. What's the choice? You've got to make the best of your lot. Like The Invention of Solitude, this book was written in the shadow of the death of a parent. Yes, although in the case of the first book I started writing it just two weeks after my father died. Whereas, with this book, I didn't write about my mother until almost nine years after she died. It's a big lag. Death keeps coming back in the book in different guises. It's not as if I feel obsessed by the prospect of my own death but one does tend to think about it more when you reach the age of 60-plus – it's just inevitable. I didn't want to treat it morbidly but it just kept looming. Is writing a book like this a holiday from writing fiction for you? ~ No. It's a different enterprise. You're calling on different parts of yourself. But, you know, the effort to write a good sentence is the same. All the things that have to do with the writing are identical. Siri [Hustvedt], my wife, has gotten deeply involved in neuroscience and has taught me a lot about our brains. It seems that memory and imagination are almost identical. Writing a novel, you're also remembering things from your life. And writing an autobiographical work, you're also inventing. You're doing your best to retrieve things but at times it's a bit murky. As you're doing your best to tell the truth, it's almost as if you're imagining it at the same time. That's a very 18th-century idea – that memory and imagination are intimately connected. It'd be interesting if it turned out that modern neuroscience had corroborated the insights of the poets. Exactly. You read The Iliad and Homer is invoking the goddess of memory, not the goddess of imagination. In the book, you catalogue fairly obsessively various physical pleasures and pains, aspects of being alive that writers don't often pay so much attention to. It's true, not too many people write about [those things]. The funny thing about writing about oneself is that I'm not very interested in myself. I use my own life as an example of what it means to be human. I just think of myself as anyone or everyone. I'm trying to share my experience with others as a way of establishing some kind of common humanity. What does it feel like to be alive? Isn't that what all writers are trying to do? You write about baseball at some length in this book. What is it with American writers and baseball? It's funny, I got a call recently from the baseball writer who covers the New York Mets for the Daily News. He's been reading my books for years and he wanted to sit down and watch a baseball game with me and write an article about it. So he came last night to our house and we sat and watched the game and talked about baseball all night. And it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've had in a long time. Talking to this man, Andy Martino, I realised how deeply passionate I still feel about the game and how beautiful I find it. There are such exquisite geometries and such unexpected turns of events. It's a game of very little violence, a contemplative game. Baseball is beautiful in that you can see what's happening all the time.

Maarten DeCeulaer's Nomad Light Molecules lighting project consists of individual light "atoms" that can stand alone, but are recharged by plugging back into a "molecule."
When fully recharged, the light spheres can light up for about 4 hours individually. In order to recharge each sphere, it gets plugged back into the light molecule. The shape of the molecule is completely amorphous and can be flipped, twisted or turned around in any shape the owner desires.
Unfortunately, the project is still under development. The idea of changing the shape is unique—stick it in some interesting positions and it could provide great conversation fodder whenever you have guests over. "So, uh, is that what I think it's supposed to be?"

Garza and Brewers beat Cubs 5-2
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Nearly a month into the season, Matt Garza got his first win for the Milwaukee Brewers against his former team, the Chicago Cubs.
Garza, who signed a four-year, $50 million deal with the Milwaukee in the offseason, retired the Cubs in order in four of the first six innings. He gave up two runs and four hits while striking out seven and walking one over seven innings as Milwaukee defeated Chicago 5-2 Friday night.
"I'm just happy that I was in control of my mechanics all game," Garza said. "I just wanted to go and establish my game plan and not get too over-amped."
Garza insisted facing the Cubs, for whom he pitched in 2011 and 2012, as well as part of last season, didn't generate any added emotion for him.
"It's another game. I've been on five different teams. If I had to get up for everybody, I'd be tired by mid-season," Garza said.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke liked what he saw from Garza.
"He really went after guys." Roenicke said. "His command was good. He had really good stuff today."
Lyle Overbay homered and Carlos Gomez and Ryan Braun each had three hits and a stolen base for the Brewers, who have a Major League best 17-6 record.
Garza (1-2) said he's enjoying finally playing on a winning team.
"When you go through years of constantly hoping, you kind of run out of hope," he said. "We're going out with the attitude that we are going to win. It brings up a lot better emotion. It's confidence. That what we're playing with a lot of right now."
Garza's ability to keep pitches down in the zone made it tough on Chicago's hitters, Cubs manager Rick Renteria said.
"He doesn't rattle very easily. He goes right after hitters. You have to tip your cap to him," Renteria said.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning to pick up his 10th save in 10 chances.
Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva (1-5) gave up five runs and 11 hits in five innings.
The Brewers when Cubs left fielder Junior Lake appeared set to make a routine catch of Scooter Gennett's line drive but the ball sailed past Lake's glove and rolled to the fence, allowing Gomez to score.
Braun's single drove in Gennett, who scored as Lake airmailed a throw to the plate, giving the Brewers a 2-0 lead.
The Cubs cut the lead to 2-1 in the third on Emilio Bonifacio's run-scoring single.
The Brewers extended their lead to two runs again in the bottom half of the inning. With Gomez on first, Braun hit a ground ball deep in the hole at short. Cubs' shortstop Starlin Castro made a strong throw and umpires initially ruled Braun out at first. After a delay of two minutes and 20 seconds, Braun was ruled safe. Jonathan Lucroy followed with a single to score Gomez.
Overbay led off the fourth with a homer, giving the Brewers a 4-1 lead. Aramis Ramirez's sacrifice fly in the fifth extended the lead to 5-1.
Ryan Sweeney's ground-out plated a run for the Cubs in the seventh.
Notes: The Brewers unveiled a statue of Hall of Fame radio announcer Bob Uecker, situated in the last row of the upper deck behind home plate, that pays tribute to the classic Miller Lite ad campaign in which he starred. .. Rodriguez tied Robb Nen for 18th place with his 314th career save. ... Brewers manager Ron Roenicke applauded Major League Baseball's attempt to eliminate the confusion that has surrounded the "transfer" rule this season by returning to the previous interpretation for when a fielder loses possession of a ball while trying to shift it from his glove to his hand. "I like what they did. I think it makes sense and it is the right way," Roenicke said. ... Chicago reliever Neil Ramirez made his Major League debut. ... The Brewers' Marco Estrada (1-1) will face the Cubs' Travis Wood (1-2) on Saturday.
