Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky is now weighing in on those is pesky gay rumors swirling around Jake Pavelka.
Ali had the following to say during her appearance on Lopez Tonight Tuesday: "Just because he wears really nice turtleneck sweaters does not mean he's gay!" Jake has been the subject of gay rumors since his nasty split with Vienna Girardi last month, after Vienna, 24, told Star magazine he refused to have sex with her for months.
BuzzSugar also did an all new interview with Ali during which she discusses being dumped by Frank Neuschafer, what really happens on those overnight dates, and briefly touches on her final decision.
Excerpts from Ali's interview is below –
BuzzSugar: Was it difficult to watch this week's episode with Frank again?
Ali Fedotowsky: I really did get emotional. I've been watching the shows and sort of reliving them, so to see myself that down is hard. Watching yourself cry is difficult! It just reaffirmed that I'm so much better off for him leaving. This whole time, I had always said to my producers that I knew Frank would hurt me at same point. He really made me feel insecure throughout the thing, and I said to him, 'My relationship with you scares me.' I'm positive that I would not have ended up with Frank in the end, because I wouldn't have been able to commit to someone who scared me that much.
Buzz: Last night we saw the overnight dates — are they as awkward as they look?
AF: So awkward! I shouldn't even say awkward, but you don't know what people are expecting. Because I'm offering a guy an overnight date card, that doesn't mean we're going to go in the room and take all of our clothes off and get into bed! Yes, I'm giving him an overnight card, but I am not the type of girl to be with one guy, and then a minute later be with another guy. I would never do that. Ever. It's not what people think it is. I don't know that I'm even necessarily ready to sleep next to a guy one night and then another guy the next night.
Buzz: Well, we know Frank is out, but there are conflicting rumors saying that you're single or that you're engaged and already planning your wedding! Has it been difficult to keep the real outcome a secret?
AF: I'm good at keeping secrets, so it's been OK. But it is really hard in the sense that I don't want to keep in the secret! I just want to be like, 'You're wrong, you're wrong, you're kind of right but wrong.' I just want everything out there, so I can talk about it and live my life whether I'm a single woman or whether I'm happily engaged.
Buzz: So, I take it you're happy with your decision?
AF: I'm so happy with my decision. I wouldn't change anything!

Today the Cyprus parliament voted overwhelmingly to reject a bailout deal that was agreed to by the President this past weekend.
The bailout would have imposed a one-off levy on all bank depositors, a form of confiscation that the public is furious about, and which politicians are (understandably) not inclined to support.
Since no levy has been passed, the banks remain closed. Cyprus needs to raise several billions of euros to recap its banks, and again make them eligible for emergency liquidity assistance from the ECB.
So what happens now?
SocGen analyst Anatoli Annenkov gives two possibilities.
1) Cyprus finds alternative measures to raise the EUR 5.8 bn that the deposit levy would have raised: either through a higher haircut on deposits over EUR 100,000 and a lower on smaller deposits (or none at all, as favoured by the eurogroup), but such options seem to have been rejected, as it would damage Cyprus status as a financial centre. Or they could also sell state assets, such as gas reserves (or banks), possibly to Russian interests, or find other creditors (Russia).
2) The eurogroup shows flexibility and accepts that the debt level in Cyprus rises to 120% of GDP, similar to what was agreed for the Greek bailout, possibly in return for stricter conditionality (more banking oversight and restructuring, lower interest rates on deposits). Depending on the structure of such deal and interest rates, this could reduce the amount Cyprus would need to raise by some EUR 2.5 bn. The remaining 3.3 bn would still need to be found, either from a deposit levy (on deposits over 100,000), bondholder bail-in, other investors or selling of state assets.
There are actually three other possibilities, with lower odds attached to them.
They are: Clipping senior bank bondholders (which wouldn't get enough money, but would help), haircutting governmnet debt holders, or leaving the Eurozone, and firing up the printing presses to go back to the Cypriot pound, which is actually what one member of Parliament said tonight on BBC could theoretically happen soon if no deal is soon reached.
And mow for a really deep dive into Cyprus, check out Daniel Davies fantastic Choose Your Own Adventure guide to the bailout, which will help you understand the decision making process in this crisis better than anything you've read yet.

I really enjoy the music and artists that are on the 24 hour music, how do I get a playlist? Is it on the web site or does it stream while you listen? I have a PC and it does not show the current artist playing. My mac did show this in the past and I was able to explore the artists and their music if I liked something. Nice work on the programming keep the "commercials" to a minimum just let the music play! Thanks to all of your hard work. ~ Agamemnon from Los Angeles, California


text: Updated 2016 Gabon is one of Africa's richest countries, a civilization teeming with natural life and wealth. The country probably contrasts with what you've seen and heard about Africa, there are equal parts urban jungle and wild jungle here. What to do Gabon is one of the rare African nations that offers entertainment for those who would really rather stay inside and gamble or see a show than spend their nights trekking the jungle or camping out in the Savannah. Gabon's cities are all located nearby the rainforest that is so lush and attractive to foreign tourists, but they also have four star hotels and rooms with soft sheets to sink into at night. Still, Gabon has recently invested heavily in developing its national parks and hopes to attract eco tourists and safari lovers in the near future. Getting there For a country with a developed economy, there is a slight shortage of flights to Gabon. The country's airline went out of business, but as tourism picks up and tour operators begin to take wealthy western travelers into the jungles, flights should resume to Gabon. Where to stay There are a host of hotels throughout Gabon's different cities with entertainment and clubs and bars nearby. For cheaper lodging, you'll want to look at a hostel or guest house, of which there are some in Gabon. For more information on Gabon, check out the message boards where you can ask questions or find answers to any questions you have about traveling to Africa.

Matthew Prince, CloudFlare CEO, said in twitter that very big NTP reflection attack was hitting them and appears to be bigger than the Spamhaus attack from last year.
According to Matthew, the attack reached 400Gbps which is 100Gbps higher than the ddos attack targeting Spamhaus.
CloudFlare said all websites have returned to production.
Founder of a French hosting firm OVH also said their network received more than 350Gbps traffic, but it is not clear whether it is related or not.
Last month, CloudFlare also wrote an article detailing about the Network Time protocol(NTP) based DDOS attacks that caused trouble for some gaming web sites and service providers.
NTP protocol is UDP-based protocol runs on port 123 which is used by Internet connected computers to set clocks accurately. A system will synchronize with the server and receives the current time.
Experts says this protocol is prone to amplification attacks because it will response to the packets with spoofed source IP address "and because at least one of its built in commands will send a long reply to a short request. That makes it ideal as a DDoS tool."
List of open NTP servers on the Internet allows attackers to launch Denial of attack against any target network.

I don't get it. Aren't the instructions different?
I don't get it. Aren't the instructions different?
Nope, not anymore they aren't. Intel wins. Apple and Mac realized that their CPUs were not helping them at all. In fact they were isolating them from the rest of the computer world because they used diff instruction sets and byte ordering. Now they've gone Intel so expect to see a lot more Mac apps running on x86 PCs. It helps Mac and Apple out a lot and solves the compatibility issues. If you can't run what is the most popular software out there you can't do business. I think they figured this out and dumped their proprietary CPUs.
Don't get me wrong, their instruction set was faster...but in business faster or better does not mean successful. He who exploits best wins. AKA: Microsoft, Intel, etc.

I did some searching about this and it seems that Vista might be able to run on a Mactel (that's what it seems they will be called), but Mac has no intention of designing their OS to work on a Windows PC. It was actually stated that it'd be legal to install windows on a Mactel if you owned a full version(not an upgrade), but illegal even if possible to installl the MacOS on a Windows PC due to licensing (Mac doesn't sell their OS, each new version is considered an upgrade edition.) Linux was a different story why it couldn't run on a Mactel yet, but I didn't read much into it.
i was just browsing the mac site, and the new intel powered iMac rocks. I'm thinking of picking one of these up...20" screen, add some more ram and I'm set. Maybe as a graduation gift to myself

It has always been a license violation to install MacOS on anything other than Apple-supplied hardware.
That's what helped kill the Apple clones which were released several years ago when Apple was forced to open up their hardware architecture to outside suppliers...
It also means you're not allowed to run MacOS in a virtual machine on another computer unless that computer is a Mac itself.
I don't know if this has ever been challenged in court.
The main reason Apple went with Intel now is them falling out with IBM. IBM couldn't deliver the faster CPUs Apple wanted, didn't consider the contract lucrative enough in fact to even bother designing them...
Kinda sad (although uniformity is nice in a way), ppc was a nice architecture, but inferior to other risc machines. Also to the first post, it wouldn't be horribly difficult to make an app which ports old mac progs to x86. The ppc to x86 instruction set is pretty trivial, endianess isn't a big problem, the real problem would be all the library calls (and possible memory references), but apple already recompiled (and rewrote some I imagine) all that crap.
I actually recall hearing about something they made which allows old mac apps to run on the new intel machines, what was that called?

That Mac commercial really ........es me off. "Dull little tasks...." it will be doing the same thing in a Mac. I just don't understand why they think they are better than PC's. Macs just suck IMO. Also, how is playing a game like "Half-Life 2" a dull little task for an Intel chip, you can't even play Half-Life 2 on a Mac....So I think that Mac commercial needs to die....
>>Macs just suck IMO<<
have you ever used one? Really used one, for more than an hour or two?

The reason Mac dumped IBM for its chips is because they run way too hot. The high-speed (2.5GHz IIRC) G5 processors need to be water-cooled (I think some are air-cooled, maybe later models...). They couldn't be used in laptops because of this and the power they used (related to their heat output).
Windows won't be able (just yet) to run on one of these computers because they don't have BIOS. They have this thing called IFF (or FFI, can't say for sure) which does basically the same but differently. I think Red Hat wants to try to get Linux to boot on one of these things.
Having an Intel chip will definately solve heat problems. Intel chips are good at that (this coming from an AMD fan). Well, chips up to the P3, which is what PentiumMs are.
I don't really see this as doing any good to Apple. I've always wanted to have a Mac, but since they've moved to x86, I don't see any point in buying a Mac. The only reason I wanted one was because it was a PPC chip. If I want to buy an x86(-64) chip, I'll buy an AMD one for less money. You can also get something equivalent to a MacBook from Acer a lot cheaper (so it doesn't have MacOS. I don't care, I was gonna install Debian on it anyway).
A Mac won't be able to exec Half-Life or in fact any other program if it hasn't been compiled to be used on that OS/architecture, the same as for any other OS/architecture. Some games have been ported, but not many. I believe this is mainly because most games are programmed on DirectX, which no other OS but Windows has.
Mac has always been about been the well though-out option. A lot of work has been put on its GUI, and I think that shows. I think the last Mac I used ran MacOS 7 a long time ago, but I did like it much more than the Windows versions that came after.
SoKrA-BTS "Judge not the program I made, but the one I've yet to code"
I say what I say, I mean what I mean.
IDE: emacs + make + gcc and proud of it.
I think it's EFI, and Vista is supposed to support it. If Vista can run on a Mactel, then Microsoft just expanded it's consumer market.Originally Posted by -=SoKrA=-
But if people start buying Macs because they can support Windows as well as, say, Dell. It will not only expand Microsoft's market but it will also expand MacOS's. :-)
I got an intel iMac. I haven't had any problems with any software, and have hardly noticed that the processor is not what other software is used to (but then again, I have not downloaded much third party software). The switch is not really that big a deal -- correctly written software, unless it relies on huge chunks of assembly language code, should be trivial to port between architectures. I have already downloaded some programs written for PPC OS X and compiled and run them on Intel just fine.
Who'd buy a Mac to run Windows? That Mac costs twice as much at least as any other i86 machine...Originally Posted by joeprogrammer
Only reason to buy one is to run MacOS.
mac's also keep their value.
my old ibook (4 years old) that i bougt for about $1000, resales between $450 - $600 - can you say the same about most 4 year old pc's?
hell, my 1 and 1/2 year old dell is worth about $200, and i paid nearly $1200 for it.
so yes, they are pricier, but after about 2 or 3 years, you can resell it for half the price you bought it at.

'A Place at the Table' documentary: Activists hungry for a change
A lot of Americans are going hungry, even as their bellies are full. That's the central theme of "A Place at the Table," a documentary whose trenchant message is echoed in the title of the book "Stuffed and Starved," by Raj Patel.
Along with other food activists -- some as famous as actor Jeff Bridges, founder of the End Hunger Network, and "Top Chef" host Tom Colicchio, an executive producer of this film -- the academic and author Patel appears on camera to drive home the point that hunger is not caused by a food shortage.
In fact, as the film notes, the state of Mississippi has both the highest rate of obesity and the highest rate of something called "food insecurity." That's not the chronic, abject starvation that a lot of us think of when we think of hunger, but rather a situation in which the source of one's next meal is uncertain.
The problem, as "Table" shows us, isn't that the next meal never comes. It's that when it arrives, too often it is filled with empty calories.
The root cause of this is manifold, as articulated methodically by documentarians Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush. They lay part of the blame at the feet of the Department of Agriculture for allowing its farm-subsidy program to be hijacked by big agribusinesses specializing in corn, wheat and rice -- the staples of the processed-food industry -- instead of family farms. The filmmakers argue, convincingly, that this has led to a situation in which junk food is cheaper to buy than healthy fruits and vegetables.
In other words, a bag of corn chips provides a bigger bang for the buck, calorie-wise, than carrots. That's economically significant for a low-income family. Even food banks suffer, preferring to stock nutritionally dubious -- and fattening -- items instead of healthier, lower-calorie products.
Distribution also is at fault. The number of urban and rural Americans living in so-called "food deserts" -- areas where there may be convenience stores but no easily accessible grocery stores -- has risen dramatically. For too many people, what's on the shelves of the local quickie mart is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Jacobson and Silverbush take approving note of efforts to educate people, showing us a classroom of kids being introduced to a honeydew melon for the first time and loving it. On the whole, however, their film has a tone of intelligent, if subdued, outrage. It deserves to be seen, along with "Food, Inc.," "King Corn" and other muckraking food docs of recent years.
One thing the movie does not get into is how junk food is not just cheap and fattening, but also addictive. For an expose of the engineering behind your lunchtime chips and soda -- which may rival cigarettes in their ability to hook heavy users -- I recommend reading Michael Moss' disturbing magazine article in the Feb. 24 edition of The New York Times Magazine, adapted from his new book, "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us."
Taken as a companion piece to the sharply argued "A Place at the Table," it delivers a powerful, even nauseating, one-two punch.
PG. Contains brief crude language and sobering subject matter. 84 minutes.

Ya boy Grandmaster Chu and his Model Minority crew are BACK with a new mixtape and video premiere. I checked out the tracks and once again, it's high quality and a few tracks have already jumped into my playlist rotation. Check it out!
The PR…
On THE TIGER SONS, emcees D-One, Grand Master Chu, and Inglish continue to speak about the lives of young, modern, Asian-Americans with their signature wordplay. Humorous, self-deprecating, and thoughtful, they address a range of subjects from growing up in Asian-American households (Battle Hymn of the Tiger Sons), online romance (Twitter Girl), historical struggles against racism (Vincent Chin.), and drop bilingual party tracks like Xian Kan Kan Wo (a Mandarin cover of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now") and Ooh It's Just Genetic, Girl.
The lead single from THE TIGER SONS, Invisible People (Where'd You Go?), and its accompanying music video, are dedicated to those people whose voices and stories have been lost or ignored. With a music video shot in San Francisco, directed by Angela Yu, the song sees the three rappers speaking out against injustice in the classroom, courtroom, and media.

What it does: Blinks different shades of blood red to mimic injured prey.
Being the alpha male on the boat doesn't necessarily mean you have to be the master baiter. Whether you're fishing for size or frequency, the Bite-Lite Fishing Lure utilizes the very best in today's fishing technology, generating a different type of flash on every cast and keeping the fishies confused (and more importantly, biting). It's so effective that one state, Wyoming, has banned its use altogether. Guarantees you "a bass every seven minutes," or at the very least, top-dog status among all your fishing buddies.

Volunteer network cites outstanding innovation, impact and leadership in employee volunteer engagement
SAN FRANCISCO (May 6, 2009) - VolunteerMatch has honored Exelon as its Corporate Volunteer Program of the year for the second year in a row for leadership in employee volunteer program management in its annual survey of corporate volunteering in the United States.
The award, announced at the organization's annual client summit, recognizes outstanding achievement and impact within the VolunteerMatch network of leading companies and brands. This year's honors were presented in San Francisco in April, and covered 2008 program activities at more than 110 companies.
Exelon, based in Chicago, was honored for the second year in a row as Corporate Volunteer Program of the Year. Given to the employee volunteer program with the best overall performance, the award considers key impact metrics including program awareness levels among employees, employee involvement rates and hours volunteered. In recognizing Exelon, VolunteerMatch cited the company's successful Energy for the Community program, which incentivizes employee participation and rewards outstanding involvement with grants to the nonprofits served.
"Effective employee volunteer programs need a sustained focus, innovative incentives, and real care for the needs of nonprofits," said Greg Baldwin, president of VolunteerMatch. "Exelon has once again demonstrated what this combination looks like in real life."
"We have our employees to thank for the success of our volunteer program," said Steve Solomon, Exelon's director of corporate relations. "Exelon's volunteer program has grown by 35 percent in the past year because of our employees' enthusiasm for volunteerism and giving back to their communities. That is truly a testament to Exelon's culture and the company's focus on being a responsible corporate citizen."
This is the third year that VolunteerMatch, the Web's largest and most popular volunteer network, has recognized the achievements of key partners within its client community.

Cozy Mystery author, Deborah Malone is visiting the Scribes today. Debbie has worked as a freelance writer and photographer, since 2001, for the historical magazine "Georgia Backroads." She has had many articles and photographs published during this time. Her writing is featured in "Tales of the Rails" edited by Olin Jackson. She has also had a showing of her photographs at Floyd Medical Center Art Gallery as well as winning several awards. Her debut cozy mystery "Death in Dahlonega", was a winner in the ACFW Category Five Writer's Contest. Today she is here to tell us about her next in the Trixie Montgomery series, "Murder in Marietta."
Murder in Marietta follows historical magazine writer Trixie Montgomery on her latest assignment that can make or break her new career. The Marietta History Museum's resident ghosts are stirring up trouble in historic downtown Marietta, Georgia. Trixie begs her best friend to come along. Their plans to research the spooky sightings vanish into thin air when a dead body is discovered in the museum. The director of the museum and her boss' friend, Doc Pennington, shoots to the top of the suspect list when his fingerprints are the only ones found on the murder weapon, a civil war rifle. Unwilling to risk losing her boss's faith in her journalistic abilities, Trixie and Dee Dee offer to help sniff out the real culprit only to wind up in hot water when they are kidnapped by the real killers. Will they be rescued in time?
Welcome, Debbie, can you give us a sneak peek at your new release "Murder in Marietta?"
Thank you for having me today, and I sure can! Trixie and Dee Dee head off to Marietta, Georgia for another assignment. They visit the Marietta History Museum where they spend the night to see if they can sight the resident ghosts. Sometime during the night a murder takes place in the museum and the director, Doc Pennington, is put on the suspect list. He asks Trixie and Dee Dee to help him find the real killer. Nana takes a larger role in this book and she won't disappoint you with her antics. All of this together makes a recipe for murder and mayhem.
Sounds like fun! What inspired this book?
I've always loved to read so I think it was natural that I'd transition into writing. Mysteries have been my genre of choice since I was a young girl and loved to read Nancy Drew. Cozy mysteries are one of my favorites and Ann George has been a big influence on my writing. As for writing Christian Fiction – Margaret Daley's books were a big influence.
How did you know you were called to write?
I've always wanted to write, but while I was writing my manuscript I wrote it as a secular book. While I was writing it I was thinking I'd like to write it in a manner that wouldn't be offensive to Christians. I didn't even know there was such a thing as "Christian fiction." I had finished the manuscript when I read one of Margaret Daley's books and went to her website where I 'discovered' Christian fiction. I couldn't get enough. I joined ACFW and began to study how other writers wrote their books. I went back and rewrote my manuscript as Christian fiction.
Are you a panster or do you outline?
I'm definitely a panster. I have a general outline on how I want the manuscript to progress, but that's it. Then I might do a general outline for each chapter, but none of it is done in detail. Now after I've written a chapter I will go in Microsoft One Note and detail the chapter so I can keep up with my characters, timeline, setting, etc.
How long have you been writing?
I started writing seriously in 2001 when I started writing for "Georgia Backroads" a historical magazine. I am still writing for them. I started on my book in 2002, but life got in the way and so I came back to it around 2009/10.
Tell us something silly about you.
My friends and family could probably answer this better than me. The one thing I can think about is that I love to sing – but I can't carry a tune in a bucket. So I sing in the car with the windows rolled up and the radio/CD's going to cover up my singing.
What do you hope readers will take away from this book?
There aren't any deep messages in "Murder in Marietta, but there is a theme of forgiveness and faith. For the most part I hope I make someone laugh and take them away from the stresses of real life for just a while. I want them to have some laugh out loud moments.
What other projects are you currently working on?
I'm working on the third book in the Trixie Montgomery series. Trixie and Dee Dee along with Nana and Trixie's mama Betty Jo have gone to Savannah/Tybee Island, Georgia for a vacation. Of course they are going to have to help someone find a killer.
What has been your most challenging experience writing a book?
I don't think I can list just one. Learning the craft/rules of writing was a big curve for me. Then there is the editing. Then there is submitting to publishers. And then when you are finally published you think you are home free – not! Then there is the marketing. It seems there are always new challenges to learn in writing and publishing a book.
Tell us a fond childhood memory?
I have many fond memories, but one that stands out is when my grandmother bought me a horse. My parents weren't able to afford one so she chipped in to help and one Christmas they surprised me. Boy was I surprised.
Awwww! That is a sweet surprise! Debbie, I have enjoyed getting to know you a little better. Thank you for visiting, and I have to tell you, your covers are beautiful and entriguing.

Offline maps and scenes allow your users to continue being productive even when their network connectivity is poor or non-existent. Your apps can allow users to explore maps, collect information, edit their assets data, find places and route to new locations, all while disconnected from the Internet. You can also choose to synchronize your data edits with other users when a connection is re-established.
Offline patterns
ArcGIS Runtime SDK for macOS supports a range of workflows to help you take your maps and scenes offline. These workflows fall into two broad categories; the Services pattern, best for supporting multiple users who edit and share data, and the Desktop pattern, best for supporting read-only data.
Services pattern
The services pattern allows you to build apps that can download specific maps and layers, on request, to the device. Critically, this pattern allows your users to edit their operational data offline and synchronize it with other users when connectivity is restored. Choose the workflow from the following lists that matches your business needs:
- Author and generate an offline map ahead of time so that your field workers can simply download it and take into the field. See Preplanned workflow.
- Allow users to define a map's area of interest, generate the offline map content and download it to their device, as required. See On-demand workflow.
- Allow users to take individual layers offline and use these to construct a map within their app. See Take individual layers offline.
For the Services patterns, you must ensure that all relevant layers can be taken offline and, if the user is collecting data, ensure that the feature layer's sync capability is enabled.
Preplanned workflow
The preplanned workflow is appropriate for organizations where the map area is prepared in advance of the field worker entering the field. For example, a gas utility company may have a maintenance crew that inspects pipeline gauges throughout a city. The manager of the crew can prepare a set of map areas prior to the week's work so that the team just downloads the map areas at the beginning of the week. The team members will be able to take the map offline to locate the inspection gauge, explore the surrounding gas network and collect any asset information. They can synchronize their changes back to the company database when connectivity is restored.
The work or crew manager generates each preplanned map areas by following these steps:
- Create a map area for each work/inspection zone by specifying an area of interest.
- Generate the map area content so that it is ready to be downloaded.
The crew downloads the work/inspection map areas to their device using your app. Therefore, the app code must:
- Query the online map to determine which map areas it contains.
- Identify and select a map area.
- Download the map area, along with the map content, onto the user's device.
- Display the offline map and present a UI to allow the user to work with and edit the data.
The app can now go offline with this map. For details of these steps see the take a map offline - preplanned.
On-demand offline workflow
The on-demand offline workflow allows your users to define the exact area of a map they wish to take offline. For example, if a gas leak is identified at an address an emergency crew member can generate a map showing the address and surrounding road network along with the gas network, including pipes, gauges, and so on. They download the map and head out into the field to resolve the problem and collect relevant information.
To download this offline map to the user's device your app needs to:
- Present a UI to allow the user to specify an area of interest.
- Generate the map content using that area of interest.
- Download the map content to the user's device.
- Load and display the offline map.
For details of these steps see the take a map offline - on-demand.
Take individual layers offline
You can also take areas of individual layers offline using this API. This level of control allows you to create a brand new map, combine different layers and present the information pertinent to your business needs. For more details on how to take the different layer types offline, see the take a layer offline.
Data and licensing
Operational data
For operational data, you can use a sync-enabled feature service from ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise to create a mobile geodatabase for offline use. Through the synchronization process, you can control whether a user can upload their edits, download others' edits, or both. This allows the app to maintain an up-to-date view of the data. When more than one user is editing the same feature and the edits conflict, the last edit synchronized to the service overrides the others.
For details on using hosted feature layers, see manage hosted feature layers in the ArcGIS Online help. For details on using ArcGIS Server feature services, see preparing data for offline use and Tutorial: Setting up feature service data for offline use in the ArcGIS Server documentation.
Note:If you need to provide offline routing or geocoding in the app, create the locator and network datasets using the Desktop pattern.
Basemap data
For basemap data, ArcGIS tiled map services, ArcGIS image services and ArcGIS Online basemaps can be downloaded to a user's device in the form of tile packages (.tpk or .vtpk files). This can be from your own ArcGIS Server or a hosted tile layer. For details on enabling export of tiled map services, see Allow clients to export cache tiles in the ArcGIS Server documentation.
Esri offers a set of basemaps that supports offline use. These services require an ArcGIS Online organizational subscription or an ArcGIS Developer account. These services do not consume credits. For licensing details for using basemaps offline, see Use tile packages from ArcGIS Online basemaps.
Apps that use offline mapping require the following license levels:
To view offline basemaps, view and download updates to offline feature data contained in a geodatabase, and work with offline routing and geocoding the app can be licensed at Lite license level.
If offline editing and uploading edits to a sync-enabled feature service are required the app must be licensed at the Basic license level.
Note:See License your app for more information on license levels.
Desktop pattern
ArcGIS Pro allows you to create mobile map and scene packages or individual data sets that can be taken offline. Any of this read-only data can be shared within your ArcGIS organizational account, downloaded or sideloaded directly to your device. This desktop pattern is appropriate where the data is not changing on a regular basis. This content can include features, tabular data, tile caches, network datasets for directions and locators that can be packaged and distributed individually or combined into a mobile map or scene package.
Create an offline map or scene
You can use ArcGIS Pro to package maps and scenes into a mobile map package (.mmpk) or mobile scene packages (.mspk) files, respectively. Each package can contain multiple maps or scenes, their associated layers and data, and optionally networks and locators. After the mobile package is downloaded or sideloaded onto your device you can open it using the AGSMobileMapPackage or AGSMobileScenePackage class. For more detail on how to work with mobile map packages see open a mobile map package from ArcGIS Pro.
One advantage of this approach is that you can prepare the data using ArcGIS Pro and sideload it onto a device without needing an internet or network connection. You can prepare the data once and deliver it to any number of devices.
Currently all mobile map and scene packages that are authored by ArcGIS Pro are read-only.
For more information see create a mobile map package or create a mobile scene package in the ArcGIS Pro documentation. If you'd like a ready-to-use and regularly updated network dataset (and locator) for your area of interest, you can license StreetMap Premium data (in mobile map package format). For details, see add StreetMap Premium data.
Create offline layers
You can also create individual layer packages directly from ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcGIS Pro. This approach will provide you with more control over when individual packages are generated and you can work with each package separately.
ArcGIS Desktop can also be used for creating runtime content but with limited capabilities. For more information see creating ArcGIS Runtime content in the ArcMap help.
See work with offline layers for more information on working with data such as geodatabases, tile packages, geopackages, and raster datasets.

If not for Jiggy, Avs backup likely would have been Theodore
[media-credit name="Getty Images" align="alignright" width="360″][/media-credit]
One thing that came out of my visit to the Florida Panthers practice this morning at the Pepsi Center: if Jean-Sebastien Giguere hadn't signed with the Avs last summer, the Avs were looking at going back to Jose Theodore as a backup to Semyon Varlamov.
"I almost came back here," Theodore said.
Leaving any judgments out from my end, it's worked out well for both sides. Jiggy has resurrected his career in the Avs' net, and Theodore is having a good season with the Panthers (though he did let in a couple of bad goals to cost his team the win Wednesday night).
The other news concerning the Avs today: Brandon Yip was claimed off waivers by Nashville. I was a little surprised, but Yip's salary ($725,000) and unrestricted free agent status at the end of the season made him a reasonable gamble for the Preds.
Yip just seemed to turn into a different player after his first solid rookie season here. He wasn't as physical, was a liability defensively and stopped going to the net. He posted 22 points in his final 81 games for the Avs.

This is for a new and modern affiliate advertising network. Similar websites include:
This is a modern, sleek and cool company that wants to be an innovator in the industry. We need something clever.
The audience is advertising and affiliate professionals looking for a reliable partner for their advertising needs.
The logo really does need to be sleek and modern. You may want to stick to typography only, or you may want to add in a cool symbol. The company image needs to be big, corporate, dependable, innovative, futuristic, and again modern. No serif fonts here.
There is no chosen colour scheme or theme, though I guess you could say generally the theme is again modern and spacey in a way, what I mean by spacey is these types of images:
We like the idea of keeping all the wording lower case, with maybe a symbol like for example:
adspire network
adspire | network
So really we are looking for a logo that is very cool and unique, but well formulated and clever yet simple. Nothing crazy, just modern, clever, simple, sleek. Those are definitely the keywords here.
The keyword there was also clever. We want a clever way to integrate the idea of affiliate marketing into the logo in a simple and cool way, if you are not too sure about what affiliate marketing even is just check out all the competitor sites listed above.

(Updated 13/03/09: links at the end)
After the discussions we've been having recently on the foaf-protocols list about the various elements of trust that could be expressed in FOAF+SSL, I've decided to investigate a bit further the signature of FOAF files. There is a summary of FOAF+SSL on the W3C Workshop on the Future of Social Networking website. Henry Story's blog also has a number of entries about FOAF+SSL.
In short, a FOAF+SSL is an authentication mechanism that relies on a customised X.509 client certificate which contains the user's public key and the user identity URI (WebID). Because such a certificate may either be self-signed or be signed by a CA you might not know, authenticating this certificate as representing the WebID may be done in two different ways:
- getting the FOAF file from this WebID, and verifying that the public key of the certificate matches the public key associated with this WebID in that FOAF file;
- searching through the FOAF files of your peers to check if the public key of the certificate matches the public key they know of (for this particular WebID).
Both mechanisms may be used, for different purposes. The second relies on a Web-of-Trust (WoT) built from your FOAF network.
I would like to see if it's possible to provide a mechanism to build such a FOAF-based web-of-trust securely, in a similar way as it's done in PGP. In the PGP model, you can sign someone else's public key (coupled with an identifier), and ask someone else to sign your own. Other people's signatures of your key can be added to your PGP certificate and they can add your signatures of their key to their respective certificates. Thus, PGP users build a collection of certificates from trusted peers, which they'll be able to verify in the future. In addition, you may choose some of these peers to be trusted introducers, in which case they will also accept the certificates that these introducers have signed.
Increasing the number of signatures in a certificate increases the likelihood someone will recognise it. This is how trust is built, from the web made of certificates. FOAF, although not inherently secure, can also be used to build a model of trust in a social network. The problem here is that, to be able to build a web-of-trust from FOAF files, the authenticity of the FOAF files themselves has to be established first. The web is there, but not the signatures, thus not the trust (in the certification sense).
XML Signature
Since RDF may be represented in XML, XML Signature looks like a potential solution, as Dan Brickley mentioned in a comment on this blog.
XML Signature offers three ways of associating a signature with the signed content:
- enveloping signatures, where the signature element contains the element that is signed;
- enveloped signatures, where the signature element becomes a child of the element that is signed; and
- detached signatures, where the signature element and the signed element are siblings or different documents.
There are two interesting scenarios in this case: signing the root element of the FOAF document or signing some elements within it.
Enveloped or enveloping signatures
It's possible to use XML Signature to put the signature within the signed document (enveloped or enveloping signatures). The problem with this approach is that I could no longer get my FOAF file to validate: the
<sig:Signature xmlns:sig="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" /> element and its content don't mix well with RDF. A workaround is to validate and remove the signature before processing it in the RDF tool.
Detached signatures
The advantage of having the signature detached from the FOAF document is that this document can still be valid RDF. In this case, the XML signature document would have another URI, which could be referred to by the signed document itself, using RDF.
For signing the entire document, XML Signature isn't really required in fact. The same objective could be achieved by signing the entire FOAF file using something based on PGP or S/MIME. The main advantage of XML signature over PGP and S/MIME in this case is that it provides a link to the document that has been signed (the URI in the
<sig:Reference /> element; an application using this could thus be hypermedia driven.
I'm not sure if it's possible to specify a given content type in the
<sig:Reference /> element (there is a
Type attribute, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the content type). This can be a big problem, since the signature applies to a specific representation. For example, dereferencing Henry's FOAF card can serve a
text/rdf+n3 representation (by default) or an
application/rdf+xml one, depending on the user agent's
Accept header.
It would make sense for an RDF-based application that relies on these signatures to try to get the XML-based representations, but XML signature doesn't seem to be limited to signing XML representations when that representation is detached. There could even be multiple XML subtypes for other kinds of documents (say,
application/atom+xml and
application/xhtml+xml). A word about this is briefly mentioned in the URI section of the XML Signature specification, but I can't see any mechanism to help. A
Content-Type attribute would have been nice.
I think I would prefer to be able to keep the signature within the RDF document. This could avoid potential concurrency issues if the FOAF document isn't updated at the same time as its signature. This would also make it more convenient to retrieve the FOAF file and how it has been certified in one operation.
Signing the entire FOAF file
The owner of the FOAF file can sign it: this is equivalent to producing a self-signed certificate. At least, if that person's public key is already known by the reader, it's possible to verify the integrity of the file. It's not bad, but it doesn't make the web-of-trust grow.
Signing by another party
Having your certificate signed by people is the mechanism by which the web-of-trust expands. If they sign the entire file, they will have to do it again every time you make any modification (white-space formatting included). That sounds highly impractical. I'm happy to sign Henry's FOAF file to assert the links between his URI, his name and his public key. However, I don't really want to have to produce another signature every time he adds a new person to his network.
Signing a subgraph and incorporating other's signatures
I think what would be much better would be to be able to sign sub-graphs. For example, in my FOAF file, I should be able to sign this sub-graph, so as to assert the links between Henry's name, URI and public key:
<rdf:Description rdf:ID="henrycert"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/ns/auth/rsa#RSAPublicKey" /> <cert:identity> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://bblfish.net/people/henry/card#me"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person" /> <name>Henry Story</name> </rdf:Description> </cert:identity> <rsa:modulus rdf:parseType="Resource"> <cert:hex> 862d6e0b8c3252a79d6eb82966f14e495c839ec2d57983ec39bfac79f8a99f887a3ca559cfee438e90f73da143cefc0a849509d8d91e7093a94c1a39863a5bed78a0f0234a372f12dce0a9535b14d92d56827b3791352b5817681ad7949aa7831911d51827a57e46bad9190d73a69ce56ada74a59ddc0df2a7a31247bbd67445 </cert:hex> </rsa:modulus> <rsa:public_exponent rdf:parseType="Resource"> <cert:decimal>65537</cert:decimal> </rsa:public_exponent> </rdf:Description>
I think signing this would be a useful FOAF certificate, similar to the PGP certification, where only the association between public key and ID is signed.
Henry could also incorporate this signed sub-graph that I've signed into this own FOAF file, as a way to add certifications directly to his own public key (again, this is similar to the way PGP works). He could incorporate several copies of this sub-graph, signed by different people.
Specifying what to sign
For my first attempt to sign this element, I used
<rdf:Description id="henrycert">.
<sig:Reference URI="#henrycert" /> dereferences the fragment using the
id attribute (via DOM's
getElementById). Unfortunately, RDF validators and tools don't like the presence of this
id attribute.
The trick I used relies on an XPath Transform:
<Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116"> <XPath xmlns:r="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">ancestor-or-self::*[@r:ID='henrycert']</XPath> </Transform>
The is another problem here. If everyone who signs this element for Henry uses
rdf:ID="henrycert" there are going to be conflicts when he pastes these certifications into his own collection. It seems better to use a UUID instead of
henrycert, to avoid clashes.
Identifying the key used for the certification
In addition, because my public key is in the signature, in
<sig:KeyInfo />, it's useful for whoever use it to know that it's mine. Instead of using the FOAF+SSL client certificate and a
<sig:X509Data /> element, I've simply put my URI in the
<sig:KeyName /> element. That's at least sufficient for this experiment.
Using these certifications
Once such a has been verified, in the XML Signature sense, it would be good to retain this fact in the RDF graph. I'm not sure how to express this. In addition, we'd also need to verify that the public key really belongs to its identifier, in the same way as it's done in FOAF+SSL.
I'd still have preferred to be able to keep the signatures within the same RDF document, but this doesn't seem to be possible (if we want that document to be processable by usual tools). Perhaps the easiest solution would be to create separate FOAF files containing just what needs to be signed. It might also be possible to have an RDF Signature specification similar to the XML Signature specification, including some canonicalisation which would be required, but this seems like a big job, and an unfortunate duplication of effort (seeing what has been done for XML Signature).

Obama: It's time to give America a raise
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he's hearing from business owners across the country who are voluntarily paying their workers more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says those actions show that change comes to Washington, not from it.
Congressional Republicans are resisting Obama's pleas to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Obama recorded the address in Washington before leaving Friday for a weekend in Florida.
In the Republican address, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman says Obama's proposed 2015 budget taxes too much and spends too much.
Portman says Senate Republicans have a plan to spark economic recovery by getting government out of the way.

The Ferrari F40 is quite possibly the ultimate Ferrari ever built. But that's according to the mainstream automotive media with their handouts from big automakers.
What does publicly funded MotorWeek think? For a reasonable test of this epic car, MotorWeek had to eschew the backroads of Maryland and head to Italy to play in Ferrari's backyard.
There they found that the F40 isn't super luxurious like a GT car, but is also really really fast. Unfortunately, their testing equipment didn't make the journey, so comprehensive braking tests weren't performed.
However, potential buyers should rest assured that the F40 is "pretty adept at using friction to turn speed into harmless heat."
Enough from me. Watch the F40 drive around Italy and listen to John Davis talk about the car, which is far better than actually hearing the car.
MotorWeek Theater is our showcase of some of our favorite classic reviews from public television's finest motoring program. How does this video only have 5,526 views on YouTube? It's motoring perfection.

Maybe you know someone who teases others.
Maybe you are someone who likes to tease others.
Sometimes teasing is called harassment.
Sometimes teasing is so bad that it is called bullying - when someone is being made to feel very unhappy because of nasty teasing.

People often tease others because they have learned that:
However some people tease others because:
They are right about people liking to be entertained, but they need to learn how to entertain WITHOUT hurting other people or their feelings.
Maybe people in your family like to tease each other for fun. But it isn't fun if the teasing is unkind and upsets someone.
If you are one of the people who has learned to tease others in an unkind way then now is a good time for you to do some unlearning.
Unlearning is forgetting what you have learned that is wrong and learning something better.
Maybe you thought teasing was cool because that's how you have been treated or are treated in some part of your life. If you are being teased and don't like it, then you need to read what you can do about it and ask for help to deal with it. Have a look at Being teased.
Before you tease someone:
If someone is treating you badly - tell an adult you can trust.
Social media, 'teasing' and bullying
Taking a photo of someone having an 'awkward' moment and sending or publishing it is a nasty form of teasing. How embarrassing for that person. How would you feel if it were you?
Everyone is entitled to privacy and respect.
Give other people the chance to get to know you as a person, rather than someone to avoid because of your teasing or bullying.
If some of these things seem too hard for you, talk about it to your mum or dad or your teacher and ask them to help you.
"It may take a while for people to accept the 'new' you, but keep working at it. Remember that you have the same rights as everyone else, which means that you don't have to put up with cruel teasing either."

Many of the recent posts have got me thinking about my favorite Filmation characters possibly being included in the line.
Kudok Ungol was one of the most intriguing characters from that series, having appeared in The Origin of The Sorceress episode. Little is known about her except for the fact that she was The Sorceress of Grayskull just before Teela Na. She was a much older sorceress, very cryptic, and shrouded in mystery. She has what looked to be of an Eagle motif whereas Teela Na was that of a Falcon. Origin of The Sorceress was a great episode as it further ties the He-Man series to She-Ra and establishes The Horde as a past threat to Eternia.
As for having her as a figure, she looks too similar the the regular Sorceress and would have to somehow be redesigned maybe to look more eagle like.
And while I'd love to have her as a figure, I also wonder if that would make too many Sorceresses having The regular Sorceress, 200x, NA, then you have The Goddess, Veena, and The Enchantress.

In up to 2 percent of cases the complication is deadly. Clots that form in veins deep in the legs or pelvis can travel to the arteries of the lungs and block blood flow. VTEs are also costly. Cancer patients who develop the clots require medication and hospitalizations that contribute to an average care bill of $110,362, compared to $77,984 for those who do not have VTEs, the study authors reported.
"Direct medical costs of healthcare are significantly greater among cancer patients experiencing a VTE and still do not include caregiver expenses, out of pocket costs and the intangible costs of pain and suffering," said lead author Gary H. Lyman, M.D., M.P.H., a professor of medicine and director of the Comparative Effectiveness and Outcomes Research Program at Duke.
In conducting the study, Lyman and colleagues analyzed 30,552 cancer cases from the InVision™ Data Mart Multiplan/ Integrated Health Care Information Solutions, a large cache of data on more than 17 million U.S. medical patients. The records were of ordinary cancer patients, not participants in clinical trials who tend to be enrolled because they have fewer health issues and therefore develop fewer complications.
The researchers focused on diagnoses of lung, pancreatic, stomach, colon/rectum, bladder and ovarian cancers among patients who began chemotherapy during a four-year period ending in 2008.
Among those in the study group, the risk of developing a VTE within 3.5 months of starting treatment varied widely depending on the type of cancer diagnosed. Bladder cancer carried the lowest risk, at 4.8 percent, and pancreatic cancer had the highest risk, at 11.9 percent. (Colon/rectum 6.1 percent; ovary 6.2 percent; lung 8.5 percent; stomach 8.5 percent)
After a year of treatment, risks nearly doubled across many of the six cancer types, with 9.9 percent of bladder cancer patients and 21.5 percent of pancreatic cancer patients developing clots. (Colon/rectum 11.9 percent; ovary 11.4 percent; lung 14.8 percent; stomach 16.7 percent)
Lyman said scientist don't fully understand why VTEs form during cancer treatment, but have identified certain contributing factors, including blood clotting agents released by tumors, side effects of chemotherapy, and pre-existing health conditions such as obesity and anemia.
He said knowing which patients are at highest risk of developing blood clots could lead to better preventive use of blood thinners. But the preventive use of blood thinners comes with its own risk of potentially dangerous bleeding. A risk score for identifying high risk patients for VTE is based on the type of cancer they have and the other known contributing factors.
"We need more data from randomized control trials in the higher risk populations that would demonstrate a favorable benefit-to-harm ratio from such preventive measures," Lyman said. "Further studies are also needed on the complications of cancer treatment and the associated costs in real-life cancer patients to guide future clinical decisions and more personalized supportive care in patients starting cancer chemotherapy."
In addition to Lyman, study authors included Yanxin Wang; Hongwei Wang; and Alexander T. Cohen.
The study was supported by the pharmaceutical company Sanofi. Lyman received no compensation from Sanofi for his participation.
Abstract #3002, the study will be presented Sept. 26 at 1:15 p.m. (9:50 p.m. Eastern Time) under the title "Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy: a Real-world Analysis of VTE Risk and the Impact of VTE on Healthcare Expenditure."

Common Tree Issues
Typical Forestry Service requests include:
Tree inspection, tree pruning, tree & stump removal
Problematic Tree Related Requests:
Trees add many benefits to our city… however we often receive requests concerning tree problems. These problems are not always the fault of the tree, but associated with the tree growing near sidewalks, utilities, and buildings.
Sidewalk / tree root problems occur when surface tree roots contact sidewalk causing lifting or cracking. The majority of these problems exist in areas where large trees occupy small grow spaces and in areas where there is clay or compacted soils. We recommend residents to contact the Public Works Customer Service number at 874-8493 to generate a work order and inspection of the sidewalk. The Public Works District Crews will review the conditions and review the solutions with the Forestry Section to provide a safe walkway.
We prune trees for signs. Traffic and regulatory signs and signals are a priority. We also prune trees for business signs, often with a caveat with the term 'within reason' of the amount of tree pruning and the distance. Contact the Public Works Dispatch office to file a request, 874-8493.
Tree root / sewer lateral problems
Tree root / sewer lateral problems occur when old clay-tile sewer laterals fail and advantageous tree roots clog the drain. Requests are often made to remove the closest tree to the problem… the solution ranges from auguring the drain to installing a new PVC or plastic sewer lateral, this often can be sleeved through the existing pipe. We recommend that residents with this problem check with the Public Works Wastewater Division and consult a plumbing contractor. Note: Trees are not removed to alleviate sewer drain problems. Tree / Sewer lateral problems increase at the time of year of root growth – just prior to Spring bud break (April) and in the Fall after leaf drop (November).
Vista Pruning
Portland is a great city with many fine views of Casco Bay, Western Mountains, Back Cove and city skyline to name a few. Recent 'hotspots' for vista pruning include the Eastern Promenade on Munjoy Hill and Back Cove. We do generate pruning requests for vista pruning where we meet with residents to go over various options. Unfortunately each year we have a small degree of unsanctioned tree pruning usually done in a haphazard manor. These actions are subject to fines or legal action. Best to contact us before pruning "city" trees !
These arboreal creatures often cause concerns for homeowners, especially in the Fall season. Tree pruning often seems to be a last chance, plausible solution that never seems to result in solving the rodent problem due to their adaptability of gaining access via gutters, overhead utility lines and other creative ways. Thus – tree pruning requests for squirrel-proofing tend to be low priority calls due to the ineffectiveness.
TREES do cause shade ! Our urban tree canopy helps reduce temperature, however, we do receive requests that some trees are "too shady". We do generate work orders to conduct 'crown thinning' pruning or crown lifting as needed – they tend to be low priority requests. Recommendations include using grass seed mixes and using woody & herbaceous landscape plantings that are 'shade tolerant'.
Insect & Disease Problems Shade & Ornamental Trees / Forests
Trees have been around for millions of years, along with a host of insect & disease problems.
Native& Non-native invasive pests effect tree health, we are particularly concerned with non-native pests such as 'Emerald Ash Borer' (EAB), 'Asian Longhorn Beetle' (ALB), 'Hemlock Wooley Adelgid' (HWA) that currently pose a threat to Maine's trees. HWA is active in Southern Maine and in Portland.
Current Conditions
The Maine Forest Service's 'Division of Forest Health & Monitoring' is the first stop in researching current conditions and pest problems for Maine's trees & forest.
There are many good web based options to find more information on tree pests, we generally recommend to start local with State of Maine / New England / Northeast Region information. The State of Maine – Insect & Disease Lab and the UMAINE Cooperative Extension are likely to have the information needed. The US Forest Service and other agencies support these efforts also.

Some pictures immediately tell a story. Like this one:
John thought that he could face Vampire Jesus alone, armed only with a hammer and a wooden stake, but Jesus was ready for him. John would be the first of his disciples, but he wouldn't be the last. Soon there would be 11 more, and Vampire Jesus would have a full coven of 12.
Here's a slightly improved version:

Ha! This picture was really popular in my Jesus days, and (minus the hammer and stake) I always thought it looked a little...sexual? Never made the connection to vampires. I SO SHOULD HAVE. :)ReplyDelete
Yeah, it does look like he just slipped him a rufie or something. But then, vampirism is a big sexual metaphor anyway. And in this case Jesus looks so sinister, and the neck angle is perfect.ReplyDelete
I had never seen this picture before... What is it actually trying to say? Vampire Jesus makes way more sense than anything I could come up with...ReplyDelete
I think the idea is that we crucify Jesus every time we sin, but he supports us anyway. Something guilt-trippy like that.ReplyDelete
