OpenACS Packages
One of the core ideas of software engineering is to divide a large project into separate modules. Modularization makes it easier to customize a system for your own specific needs, allowing you to write new modules and remove unnecessary ones. Using modules also makes it easier to distribute the work among many different programmers. A quick review of the available Linux, Apache, Perl and Python modules freely available on the Internet makes this point very clear.
OpenACS 4 (Open Architecture Community System), the toolkit for creating on-line communities that was initially examined here last month, dramatically improves on earlier versions in a number of ways. But perhaps the most important change is the division of functionality into modules, which are called "packages" in the OpenACS world. Because each package is self-contained, and because it is possible to connect any package with any URL, OpenACS 4 has made it easier than ever to create flexible community web sites.
This month, we take an initial look at OpenACS packages, including how we can install and use them. (This article assumes that you already have installed PostgreSQL, AOLserver and the core OpenACS functionality, as described in the last two installments of At the Forge.) Since most OpenACS sites use some of the functionality that comes with the built-in applications, rather than write everything from scratch, installing packages is something every OpenACS administrator needs to know how to do soon after installing the core system.
Consider the following simple CGI program written in Perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CGI; my $query = new CGI; print $query->header(); print $query->start_html(-title => "Testing"); print "
This is some text
\n"; print $query->end_html();
If I install this program as test.pl in my web server's CGI directory, others can see the results of its execution by retrieving www.lerner.co.il/cgi-bin/test.pl. If I want this program to be available under a number of different names, I can copy it; the name that I choose will be reflected in the URL.
Things get a bit trickier if my server-side application consists of several CGI programs rather than a single program. If I want to have several copies of such an application suite running on my system, I must copy all of the program files. In many cases, it'll be easier to place all of the files in a directory, then copy the directory and all of its contents each time I want the application to run somewhere else.
Making such copies carries potential synchronization problems: if I fix a problem in one copy of a program, I will have to make the same change to every copy of the program. I can resolve some of these problems with CVS, but I also could eliminate this issue by keeping only one copy of my program on the filesystem. Then I could configure the web server (either Apache or AOLserver) to treat one or more URLs as requests for my program.
Now consider what happens if this application suite takes advantage of a relational database. Installing the application is no longer as simple as copying files or configuring the HTTP server. Now, we also need to have some way of resolving potential conflicts and confusion between the copies of a single application, such that the forums at /foo/bboard don't get confused with /bar/bboard in the database. If and when we remove our application from the system, we also will need a way to remove the database tables it used.
In OpenACS, the solution to this problem is APM, the ArsDigita Package Manager. APM was originally written by ArsDigita, a now-defunct consulting company that wrote the predecessor to OpenACS. ACS worked only with an Oracle database server, whereas OpenACS works with both Oracle and PostgreSQL.
APM handles a number of different issues inherent in server-side applications that use a database, including version control, scripts for table creation and removal and database independence. APM also has been designed to allow each copy of an application to have independent configuration variables and to be associated with one or more separate URLs.
An APM really is nothing more than a .tar.gz file with an .apm extension. The file is typically named like this: packagename-0.5d.apm—where packagename is the unique name associated with the package. This example package contains development version 0.5. Opening a package with tar -zxvf reveals a standard file and directory structure:
packagename.info, an XML file describing the contents of the package. This file, normally created automatically by the OpenACS APM application, tells OpenACS which files are associated with the package and which configuration parameters are available for the user. It also indicates whether the application is a singleton (i.e., provides services for the rest of the system) or an application (i.e., can be run from a particular URL).
The sql directory is where the table-creation (and table-destruction) scripts are located. Originally, when ACS supported only Oracle, this directory normally would contain two files: packagename-create.sql and packagename-drop.sql. The APM installer would run the create script when the package was installed and the drop script when it was removed. (The create script often runs INSERTs as well, seeding database tables with standard data for later use.)
Now that OpenACS supports PostgreSQL as well as Oracle, this directory structure has changed somewhat. Within the sql directory are oracle and postgresql directories that have parallel scripts for creating and dropping the tables. Each installed copy of OpenACS knows which databases it supports (based on the value of a variable in AOLserver's nsd.tcl configuration file), and thus chooses the most appropriate script.
The tcl directory contains Tcl files containing procedure definitions. These procedures are loaded into AOLserver at startup time, giving them a speed advantage over those defined inside of .tcl (or .adp) pages elsewhere in the OpenACS system.
The www directory contains what we normally expect to be associated with a web application. This is where we put our .tcl and .adp pages, as well as any graphics and auxiliary files associated with the application. OpenACS's query dispatcher, which makes it possible for server-side programs to support multiple database servers, works with XML files with an .xql extension; these also go in the www directory.
Because of how the OpenACS templating system works, it's not unusual for a single web page to use three files: a .tcl file for setting variables, an .xql file that defines the SQL query used to retrieve rows from the database and an .adp file that is responsible for turning the information into HTML.
APMs also may contain a number of other files, such as database upgrade and migration scripts (for those users who are upgrading from a previous version of the package), regression tests (to ensure that the package works correctly), administration facilities (under www/admin) and HTML-formatted package documentation (under www/doc).
Re: At the Forge: OpenACS Packages
I am interested in the statement you make I have found parameters to be a particularly useful part of OpenACS, in that they let me create an application once and use it many times, but give each instance its own configuration.
Can you give some detail and examples of the configurable parameters for applications? I am especially interested in how configurable the UI to OACS application pages is. For instance, if I have several instances of bulletin boards configured, can I have them all look different? How would I go about modifying the basic look of an OACS application per instance?
Thanks for your insight:)
Re: At the Forge: OpenACS Packages
If you're familiar with object-oriented programming, then you can think of package parameters as instance variables: Each instance has the same variables, but different values in each variable.
And just as different objects have different instance variables, different packages have different parameters. The calendar package might have a parameter asking for what language you want to use to display text, and whether weeks start on Sunday or Monday, and what the name of the CSS file is for that package. The bulletin board package might have a parameter to indicate whether it displays messages in threads or chronologically,
Permissions are explicitly not handled by parameters. Permissions are a separate animal, and are set with a different administration page.
In theory, a package can allow its look and feel to be modified using parameters. In reality, most packages only let you change some basic features, and expect the basic look and feel to stay the same. If you want to really change things, then you use CSS at the global level, or the "default master" for the particular site or subsite you're using.
I expect that over time, as people want to customize the user interface more and more, the number of parameters will grow. At the same time, OpenACS is designed to be taken apart and modified, for a variety of reasons.
Does this make sense?
Re: At the Forge: OpenACS Packages
Hi. Yes, thanks.
I also noticed a "skin" package that seems to help customize look and feel of subsites.
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

"These cookies freeze well either baked or unbaked. Extremely dainty and delicious cookie. You can also sprinkle the top with coarse sugar." - by Bonnie Fedunec
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 2 dozen
- To Make Pastry: Place the flour in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and rub into the flour-butter mixture. Knead until the dough forms a ball. Cut dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- To Make Filling: Stir the apricot jam until it is spreadable. In a bowl combine the sugar with the chopped nuts and grated lemon peel.
- To Assemble: On a lightly floured surface roll out each half of dough. The larger and thinner the circle the crisper the cookies will be. Each circle should be at least 9 inches in diameter. Spread each circle with jam and sprinkle with the almond mixture.
- Cut each circle into twelve wedges. Roll each wedge up tightly from the outside edges. Turn edges slightly to form a crescent. Place crescents on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Repeat until all cookies are shaped.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat egg and brush cookies with beaten egg. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake cookies for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies cool on wire wracks then dust with sifted confectioners' sugar.

Residence Life
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are freshmen and sophomores required to live on campus?
We want you to succeed! Studies show students who live on campus during their first two years of college are more likely to graduate, and to do so in four years, than those living off-campus. On-campus students are also more likely to have higher GPAs and higher levels of satisfaction with their college experience due to their increased interaction with faculty and other students.
Our housing policy states: if you live at home in the area with your parents or have received a special exemption approved by the Residence Life Office, you are not required to live on campus. However, we strongly encourage you to consider living on campus, as it is an excellent way to meet people, become more involved with activities and adjust to college life.
2. How is my roommate assigned? May I request a particular roommate?
Every housing application is carefully reviewed and efforts are made to match you with a roommate who has similar interests and living habits.
If you have a friend with whom you would like to live, you must include his or her name on your housing application. That person must then request to room with you as well. Once we receive confirmation that both parties have made the request, the match is made and you are assigned a room.
3. When will I find out my room and roommate assignment?
You should receive your room and roommate assignment around mid-July. You will receive a mailing that will include your room assignment, your roommate's name and contact information.
4. Do you have co-ed residence halls?
Hallett, Erickson, Hoyum and Livedalen halls are co-ed by wing and Brown Hall is co-ed by unit. Fjelstad and Park Region halls typically house females only. The campus apartments, for upper class students, are all co-ed. These apartments include: Bogstad Manor, Bogstad East, the International Center and the Townhouses.
5. Are the residence hall rooms furnished?
All rooms are furnished with beds, mattresses and mattress covers, dressers, closets, desks or study tables, chairs, window coverings and telephones. While all of the college furnishings must remain in the room for the entire year, you can add some of your own small pieces of furniture as space allows.
6. What should I bring with me for my room?
You'll definitely want to personalize and decorate your new home away from home. Common items are:
- computer
- refrigerator (4.5 cu ft and 1.5 amps or less)
- microwave (1200 watts or less)
- additional furnishings like TV, DVD player, stereo, etc.
- posters, photos and other items to decorate your room
There are a few things not allowed in residence hall rooms, including halogen lamps, pets other than fish, rubber-backed carpeting, candles or other open flame items, hot plates and alcohol or alcohol containers. When you arrive on campus, your resident assistant will review the policies with you to make sure you don't have any prohibited items.
7. Are the residence halls open during breaks?
Residence halls remain open during breaks with the exception of the Christmas break, during which allt are closed, except the campus apartments.
8. Can I bring a car, bike or motorcycle?
Yes, but you may not need them. Excellent transportation services are available in Fargo-Moorhead and Concordia is located within walking distance of shopping centers, downtown Moorhead and churches. Daily bus service operates throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area and special bus services are available for students.
If you choose to bring a car or motorcycle to campus you will need to get a parking permit from Campus Security. If you bring a bike, be sure to bring a lock and consider taking it home in the colder months instead of trying to find storage on campus.
9. Do I need my own computer?
We have several computer labs around campus, including labs in most of the residence halls, but you may want to bring your own. When it comes time for tests and papers, the labs can fill up quickly. All residence halls are wired for high-speed Internet, connections that work with both Mac and PC computers.
10. How do I get involved on campus?
One of the best ways to get involved in just by living on campus. Your resident assistant will coordinate numerous activities for your floor and entire hall, in addition to being a great resource for other organizations and activities on campus. You'll meet many new people in your residence hall, classes and during Orientation events.

Arvind Kumar
Veteran stars . . . Esala Masi, Shailendra Lal of Sydney Ba, and Netani Moce of the Lautoka side at the tournament yesterday.
Defending champions Sydney Ba suffered a shock defeat as the veterans soccer tournament action in Auckland intensified yesterday.
Tournament favourites Sydney Ba on Friday had hammered Rewa 5-0 had yesterday morning defeated Natabua Old Boys 2-0 in the NZ Fiji Veteran Soccer Association fixture being played at Bill McKinley Park in Mt Wellington, and Centre Park, Mangere.
The star-studded Sydney Ba side - including former Fiji reps Esala Masi, Shailendra Lal, Arif Azam, and Jason Lal – went down 0-1 to Hamilton Nadroga at Centre Park.
Despite the hitch, the Sydney Ba side were upbeat about their chances as no further games would be played at the bumpy Centre Park.
"The bumpy Centre Park ground was not suitable for soccer at all," Shailendra Lal, former Suva rep, told
Indian Weekender
"No self-respecting team should have been allowed to play soccer in those conditions," Lal said.
"But we're not making any excuses, and we'll take things in our stride."
Team-mate Esala Masi, named Player of the Day on Friday, said he had also suffered a slight ankle injury on the bumpy surface.
A total 33 teams are competing in the tournament which kicked off on Wednesday evening – 25 teams in the over-35s competition and eight in the over-40s. This includes seven teams from Sydney and one from Melbourne.
The over-40s are playing for Billy Singh Memorial Cup, while the over-35s are competing for Billy's father, Sashi Mahendra Singh Cup.
Tournament official Aiyaz Khan said he was happy with the way the tournament had progressed so far, and even better day was expected today and tomorrow, if good weather holds out.
Khan said all pool games will be decided today and only quarters, semis and finals will be played on Monday.
More than 600-700 spectators filled the grounds yesterday and even fuller stands were expected today and tomorrow.
Yesterday's results: Sydney Nadi bt Melbourne Master (WBD), NZ Suva 1, Hamilton Nadroga 1 (40s).
Over 35s: Sydney Ba 2, Sydney Ex-Natabua 0; Hamilton Nadroga 5, NZ Suva 0; NZ Savusavu 0, NZ Masters; Sydney Nadroga 2, NZ Nadroga 1; NZ Lautoka Blues 3, NZ Labasa 1; NZ Jet Set 1, NZ Dreketi 0; Melbourne Masters 5, NZ Levuka 0; Sydney Suva 0, NZ Ba 3; NZ Nadi 1, Sydney Xavier OB 0, NZ Lautoka Masters 1, NZ Men in Black 1.
Sydney Combined 3, NZ Labasa 0; NZ Dreketi 0, NZ Lami 2; Sydney Suva 0, NZ Nadi 0; Sydney Golden Boots 0, NZ Suva 1; Sydney Ba 0, Hamilton Nadroga 1; Sydney ex-Nats 1, NZ Suva 0; Sydney Nadroga 0, NZ Savusavu 0.
NZ Lautoka Blues 2, NZ Tavua 0; Sydney Nadi 0, NZ Jet Set 2; NZ Lautoka Masters 3, NZ Levuka 0; NZ Ba 0, Sydney Xavier OB 0; NZ Masters 1, NZ Nadroga 0; Hamilton Nadroga 1, Sydney Ba 0. Over-40s: Sydney Nadi 2, NZ Nadroga 1; Melbourne Masters 0, NZ Levuka 2.

The Twenty-first Century Scholars Program grants tuition awards to low- to moderate-income Indiana students pursuing higher education. Upon completion of the Scholar's Pledge, the cost of four years of college tuition is provided at any participating public college or university in Indiana. If the student attends a private institution, the state will award an amount comparable to that of a public institution.
Once a scholar is enrolled in college, additional support is offered by the individual institution. These services vary widely from one college to another, but examples of support include tutoring assistance and financial aid assistance.
The local Twenty-first Century Scholars, Wabash Valley Regional Support Site (located at Indiana State University) will be closing effective August 31, 2012; as the state transitions to a new regional outreach support model for the Scholars program.
Any questions related to the Scholars program after that date should be directed to the central office:
Twenty-first Century Scholars Program Phone (317) 232-2350
Toll Free (888) 528-4719
State funding for the student scholarship component of the Twenty-first Century Scholars program remains intact and will continue.
Over the summer months, the central Twenty-first Century Scholars Office will hire eight Twenty -first Century Scholar Regional Outreach Coordinators who will be charged with continuing and developing partnerships and collaborations to promote college readiness and academic success for students enrolled in the Twenty-first Century Scholars Program.
Once the new model is in place, the Twenty-first Century Scholar Outreach Coordinator assigned to your area will contact you to provide more details about the new model and the program moving forward.
It is very important that you visit the website frequently, www.scholars.in.gov, to keep updated on what you need to do next, as well as if you have address and phone number changes that you contact the central office immediately.

Many people are lured by daily deals promoted on the Internet, but consumer advocates say such deals come with a cost.
In many cases, vendors are unprepared for the rush of business and end up damaging their reputations.
Carole Donovan was just looking for a little help in the kitchen, so she bought a daily deal from B-Clean Home and Corporate cleaning on Living Social.
"Thirty-five dollars for housecleaning up to 1,600 square feet," Donovan said.
The company did a decent job, so she signed up and paid the owner $140 for three more cleanings.
"The date came and went, and nobody showed up, and I called, and I called, and I called, and he finally called me back and said, 'I don't have any record of that date,'" Donovan said.
Donovan called to reschedule and said the same thing happened again.
"I called probably another three or four times (and got) no response. I sent several emails, and that's when I contacted the Better Business Bureau," Donovan said.
The BBB said it gave B-Clean a grade of F after 18 complaints in the last year, and the owner told the BBB he would no longer respond to its complaints.
WISN 12 News found B-Clean's owner at home in West Allis.

Thread: Fresh Air intake

Fresh Air intake
I manage a commercial building that is only 4 years old. Our HVAC system is one that runs continually, and adjust air flow with dampers that receive a signal from sensors located throughout the building. My staff is continually ill with respiratory issues. They all say this clears up when they are home.
We've had a great deal of trouble with the HVAC system getting it to function properly and now I am concerned that we are not getting fresh air into the building. We are on the top floor with no opening windows or doors, and in reviewing the blue prints for the facility I do not see any air intakes from outside the building.
I have looked over and over above the ceiling and I do not find an air intake from the outside. I know little about this subject so, that is why I elected to reach out here. Should I NOT have fresh air intake from outside the building? It appears I am simply recirculating the air in the building.
Anyone have an answer?
What is your climate? How many occupants and sqft. of space? Comparing inside/outside dew points and number occupants will provide info on natural fresh infiltration. You should have a fresh air intake to change the air a minimum of 4-5 hours typically.
Regards TBBear Rules: Keep our home <50% RH summer, controls mites/mold and very comfortable.
Provide 60-100 cfm of fresh air when occupied to purge indoor pollutants and keep window dry during cold weather. T-stat setup/setback +8 hrs. saves energy
Use +Merv 10 air filter. -Don't forget the "Golden Rule"
Have a look on the Internet or in the phone book, there's companies out there who's sole purpose is air monitoring. It'll cost a couple bucks, but then you'll know what's in the air, before you start throwing money around at a solution.
You could be right, perhaps a case of sick building syndrome.

our square footage is approximately 20,000 climate is typical north east. Winter time 20's 30's moderate humidity, summer time can stay 80's to high 90's. Staff numbers are 12-15. Should I not have some sort of outside air introduced to our system either way?
Thanks for the response.
A good way to get a clue as to what's going on is to measure CO2 (e.g., co2meter) and particulates (e.g., Dylos).
What type of systems do you have ..are they Rooftop units? or package units that sit on the floor? what type of controls you you have?
Air ventilation is one thing most people pick first...but i would check cleaning procedures, what types of chemicals are used etc..
Who does your maintenance? are the filters and coils clean?
When did this start happening?
do you have a lot of dust around the vents? do you have a lot of plants?
We still haven't heard what type equipment you have. If you have packaged roof top units most have an economizer that brings in OA based on a percentage setting on the economizer control. This means a constant 20% OA or more (or less ) depending on the setting. Have your service contractor see what it is set to. This is a bare minimum. Next step is to install IAQ sensors and increase OA based on air quality. This can save energy because min OA can be reduced during low CO2 periods but increase OA during hi CO2 periods. We sell install and service temperature control systems and it is amazing to see how high the co2 rises during periods of high occupancy. We usually set the system to begin increasing OA at 800 ppm and full open at 1000 ppm. If you have VAV system you need to open the terminal unit based on the zones co2 reading. There are variables including is the equipment sized to handle the load of increased OA. Limiting the econo opening during high CO2 to say 50% can reduce the system load but take longer to affect the high CO2. Exhaust fans in the equipment controlled by building static pressure will also help to remove the air from the space. Looking above the ceiling will not help because air will not be introduced there. Hope this helps.
I didn't write the book I just read it!

The Games of May 2013
There's not too much going on in May, which is good for us here at Warp Zoned, because we are normal gamers with backlogs like everyone else. Resident Evil Revelations seems to be pretty popular, and we're hoping Fuse doesn't stink, but other than that, it's a slow month for new games. Check out what we plan on playing this month here at the WZ. (more…)

Kickstart This! The "Poo Pub" Edition
Two weeks ago, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher passed away. Our coalition government saw fit to spend £10 million of taxpayers' money on her funeral. This was a woman who divided the country, and whose iron grip is still curled around Britain's bleeding heart. The rich and powerful turned up to see her off, while poverty-driven protesters quite literally turned their backs on the funeral procession. The BBC refused to play "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," an anti-Thatcher song taken from The Wizard of Oz, after her haters propelled it to number two on the UK music charts. If anyone could suck the fun out of life, it was Thatcher.
A couple of days after she kicked the bucket, I learned that a humble New Zealand pub owner named Les Lisle had passed away. I met Les only once, in 2011, while travelling the globe with a ginormous backpack strapped to my back. It was customary to stop at the Mahinapua Pub, affectionately known as the Poo Pub, on the way to the town of Wanaka. The tour company I was travelling with booked the place out for a slap-up meal followed by a fancy dress party. When we arrived, old Les (who was 85 at the time) got on the bus and laid down the rules of his house in a well-practised and often funny speech. When we ventured inside his pub, we found the ceiling covered with hats; there were over 3000 of them, all tacked to the ceiling. Les told me some were his, and some were donated by the travelers who passed through. He was managing that pub of his before I was even born. I doubt he played many video games – there was a pool table and dart board – but he was an agent of fun, and probably managed to affect more peoples' lives in a positive light than Thatcher did with her negative rule. They were both born in 1925, and died with days of one another. If anyone deserved a £10 million funeral, it was Les Lisle.
Unfortunately, I barely have £10, so in honour of his youthful spirit in the face of old age, I'm dedicating this month's Kickstart This! to Les. Let's see if we can channel some of that positive spirit into funding projects that are fun for all, such as the 2D upward-scrolling platform puzzler Brave Bit, hand drawn sci-fi adventure gameA Small Favor, 8-bit microorganism sim Bitcrobes, and underwater tower defense title Fish vs. Crabs. And just to shake things up, we also have the helpful app GameSnap, and last but not least, PWNED: A Gamers Novel, a romantic comedy adventure set within an MMORPG.
Let the games begin! (more…)
Secret Ponchos Interview: Dueling With Yousuf Mapara and Jose Lopez
One of the games we were most excited to see at PAX East 2013 was Secret Ponchos, the intense twin-stick arena fighter set in the world of a Spaghetti Western. Contributor Anthony Amato, Senior Editor Nicole Kline, and Editor-In-Chief John Scalzo met up with President and Creative Director Yousuf Mapara and Art Director Jose Lopez and had a fantastic conversation with them while trying out the game.

I wonder if this happens to anyone else. Everytime I open Photoshop and either open a file or start a new one for the first time.
It's harmless and it goes away eventually, usually when I use the select tool. But the bizarre thing is that all the glitch tiles in this shot are coming from a DS emulator I use while running Windows in Boot Camp mode.
How do those graphics get all the way from Windows to here?

Another SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG in the rearview mirror ... and I have the blisters on my feet to prove it. This year's event had a good blend of high-level big-impact news and tactical user-level information that should keep everyone in the ecosystem satisfied. At least for now. Here's a few notes.
On the big-bang news side of things, SAP made a few major announcements at SAPPHIRE NOW. They include:
SAP Business Suite on HANA is now Generally Available to customers. As Hasso Plattner said in his keynote, "It's no longer about HANA, but the applications on top of HANA."
Release of SAP Fiori, a collection of 25 apps that are focused on renewing the user experience for the most common business functions, such as workflow approvals, information lookups and self-service tasks. They're device-agnostic-- meaning they can be used on mobile devices and desktops using browsers that support HTML5.
As CTO Vishal Sikka pointed out, Fiori means flower in Italian, and flowers are "the perfect blend of mathematics and design" in nature. (That imagery figured heavily in Sikka's portion of the keynote.)
Renaming of SAP Visual Intelligence as Lumira. (When the founder of your company calls it a "stupid name" it's time to switch).
Release of SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 (I didn't personally catch much new on this, but I'm sure our in-house BI guru Scott Wallask will have plenty to say soon over on BusinessObjects Expert. Heck, he was way out in front of it all in a post here.
Announcement that SAP HANA is "no longer a little girl" by Sikka. (Note to SAP communications: That "little girl" metaphor's getting a little...uncomfortable. Just sayin'.)
But in addition to the big-splash keynote news, there were demos galore on the show floor and SAP continues to do a great job of making its technology available to everyone interested, from customers to partners to analysts and media. (I think some folks in the ecosystem might be a bit spoiled by SAP's openness in this area -- not all companies do this).
And the ASUG sessions up on the South Concourse provided a plethora of customer experience presentations across a wide variety of topics. In addition to what I outlined here I caught sessions on super user programs, IT testing practices, experiences in the early adoption of SAP HANA, best practices in deploying RDS, and best practices in educating SAP user base, all led by real SAP customers who were very frank about their experiences.
And in addition to all of that, here's a few of my personal notes from the week:
SuccessFactors CEO Lars Dalgaard was not at the conference because his "superdad" passed away and he was back in Denmark with family sharing the LarsLuv where it was needed most this week. (I did like the video he provided that compared the "promises" he made on the SAPPHIRE NOW stage last year to the results today. Fact checking himself--nice touch.)
SAP is continuing to stick its toe in the B2C water, which will be interesting to watch in the future. Right now, it still feels like.. a toe in the water.
At the risk of sounding like a blue kool-aid addict, I really like the keynote progression at the event. Bill McDermott's sports-related keynote on Tuesday got things off to a fun start. Jim Hagemann Snabe's more product and strategy focused keynote on Wednesday gives the roadmap junkies what they're looking for. And Hasso Plattner's professorial presentation on Thursday transitioned to Vishal Sikka's always engaging talk has a really nice "flow" to it.
The annual press event Wednesday night at the Harley-Davidson factory had a great "vibe" to it as well, although the length of the bus ride out there did have more than a few of us paranoid press types wondering if we had got on the wrong bus and were heading to a bingo weekend in Boca or something.
Dark data is the new old buzzword. If you've been around a while, it's not new to you.
Twitter continues to grow in the ecosystem. If I'm going to continue to live tweet keynotes, I'm going to have to run my iPhone on HANA.
A couple years ago, the question in mobility was if the iPad was going to be an effective tool for business. Yeah, we have our answer now.
The Ariba crew gets the most "road warrior" points. Last week Ariba LIVE in DC. This week SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando. Next week, Ariba LIVE in Berlin. These folks understand to grow a network you gotta rack up some frequent flyer miles, that's for sure.

Peaceful Protesters Lambasted by PAC That Funded Controversial Ad
About 60 people rallied in front of The Herald-Tribune Thursday afternoon to protest an inflammatory ad funded by the Government Is Not God political action committee.
More than 60 protesters — mainly middle-aged and senior citizens — are described as "radicals" and "homosexuals" by a controversial political action committee (PAC) that funded an inflammatory ad in The Herald-Tribune.
The protesters, described as a mob in a news release by Government Is Not God political action committee, were no louder than a competitive bingo game as they stood chatting to media along a sidewalk Thursday afternoon. The protesters said they organized to raise attention to concerns they have about the PAC and its tactics.
Some of the protesters were dressed ineatly n polo shirts and pleated shorts. They held signs with messages that included "Stop The False Ads" and "Bad Judgment Or Stupid."
There was no jostling or blocking passersby, as protesters advised one another to yield to people trying to walk by; they certainly were not the mob as described by the PAC.
Kindra Muntz organized the protest, calling it a "witness" as opposed to a rally, and was less than pleased with the PAC.
"They are morally bankrupt as far as I'm concerned," Muntz said about the PAC. "Whoever is putting this out has no sense. They're not interested in addressing the issues that are really important to American people. They're just trying to stir up hate and anger and fear in religions. It's causing divisiveness in our communities."
The quarter-page ad in question features Obama and claims saying he will "move America to" force all states to legalize same-sex marriages, have courts accept Sharia Law in domestic disputes, force Christian schools to hire non-Christians, force businesses to give illegal immigrants jobs, among other claims. The Government Is Not God political action committee funded the ad.
"This ad offends Jews, Christians, Muslims, gays, women, the medical community," Muntz said. "I mean, give me a break."
Some members were equally as upset with their hometown paper publishing the ad as they take great pride and ownership of the Pulitzer Prize-winning publication.
"The press has a responsibility to provide fair, accurate information to the electorate," said Donna Cubit-Swoyer of Sarasota Alliance for Fair Elections. "Now, I know they need to make money, but selling a page in the paper to distortions like that doesn't help them. … I'm upset with the Herald with the discretion they did not use. That's my hometown paper; I read it everyday."
Ultimately, the situation would be averted if the Citizens United decision would be overturned, she added. The Supreme Court decision allowed unlimited contributions in campaign ads not tied to a candidate. .
Tampa Bay Times' Politifact.com rated each bullet point in the ad, saying most are either false, or the most extreme of falsehoods, "Pants on Fire."
The Herald-Tribune ran an apology in Wednesday's paper stating "that the advertisement did not meet the Herald-Tribune standards for fairness and accuracy and we apologize to our readers for the advertisement appearing in the newspaper."
One protester, Thelma Lemberg, gently tapped a Patch reporter's notebook to inform him that she's canceling her Herald-Tribune subscription.
"Where is truth? Truth? Truth in advertising?" she said. "Ha, ha, ha."
Nom Dumaine of Sarasota hoped the apology would have been more prominent. The apology ran on Page 2A in Wednesday's paper, containing a paragraph, where the advertisement was a quarter page on Page 14A.
"It seems to me it's a pretty ingenuous apology," he said. "That should have been on the editorial page in big print."
GING Chairman William J. Murray was also disappointed with The Herald-Tribune's apology, though for very different reasons, in a news release posted on the PAC site:
"Sarasota Herald Tribune is responding to the mob the same way that Barack Hussein Obama responded to the Muslim mobs in Libya. After our Ambassador and three other Americans were killed, Obama apologized for the exercise of free speech in America." Murray said, "Basically, the Sarasota Herald Tribune is apologizing to the radical left mob just as Obama apologized to the radical Islamic mobs."
No one authorized to comment from The Herald-Tribune made themselves available during the protest, but a reporter was present to write a story on the event.
"I'm concerned going forward that they use a little sense and judgment," Muntz said. "We need sense and sanity in the media, and in politics. You don't need the device hate talk and incendiary rhetoric that causes fear, hate and anger in people."
The group was not all seniors and middle-aged folk. A couple Occupy Sarasota protesters showed up including Christopher Young, who doesn't support either candidate, coming to talk about eliminating a predominately two-party system. He doesn't think the ad should have been published.
"I do think there's a borderline on free speech when it comes down to hatefulness," Young said. "I don't think that's speech at all. It's hate, and we're trying to get rid of hate."

The extreme right-wingers like the PAC sponsoring this ad are truly getting desperate watching the surveys moving toward Obama-Biden in a consistent, steady and undeniable way. So, they appeal to their base, i.e., the religious fanatics, the intolerant, the naive, the gullible, the fake patriots, and ultimately the Enablers of the Predatory Plutocrats who would be the only beneficiaries of a, God forbid, Romney-Ryan administration. And of course, there are a bunch of people out there who cannot accept an African American as their president. Racism pure and simple.
R. Hillier
12:21 pm on Friday, September 28, 2012
"Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. Censorship can be carried out by the government as well as private pressure groups. Once you allow the government to censor someone else, you cede to it the power to censor you, or something you like. Censorship is like poison gas: a powerful weapon that can harm you when the wind shifts. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional because freedom of speech is protected in the First Amendment, and is guaranteed to all Americans".

Great job, Kindra! At least the paper had the good sense to back down and agree not to run these hate ads in the future.
A Whitaker

R. Hillier--Libel and Slander are just as bad, if not worse, than "censorship". We have freedom of speech, not freedom from reprecussions of that speech. The ad is full of lies...is that how you like it? To win unfairly, through blatant lies that have been easily disproven..as those in this have? Have you NO shame or decency? If you and your ilk want to win this election...win through having the best vision and plan for the country....not through swift boating, lies, and false accusations.
And yet this PAC actually has the nerve to have "God" in it's name? Jesus DID say there would be false prophets who would come in his name....this "PAC" has proven to be one of them.
2:47 pm on Tuesday, October 2, 2012
People that support this PAC need to be evaluated by a medical progressional and need to attend a course in reality. What an embarrassment!

Furnace and A/C maintenance
A. L. in Toronto
| Oakville Location
| Jun 12, 2012
We have used Atlas Care for many years. I meet Jeff at my in-laws and was very impressed with his professionalism. Since then, we have requested for Jeff to be our key contact. He is punctual, efficient, polite and takes the time to explain mainetnace and equipment options. The few times we have needed inmediate assistance with the equipment, Atlas has been able to book us withing 24 hrs. When any of our neighbours have asked for reconmendations for Furnace or A/C companies, we have always given Atlas name confidently.

Most Philadelphia Housing Authority residents who take KEYSPOT's broadband technologies course have to visit the John F. Street Community Center at 11th and Poplar streets to receive their netbooks after completing the course. This can be very inconvenient for those who live far from that part of the city or who have disabilities. Luckily, KEYSPOT is able to bring training and netbook distribution right to where these residents live. One such class for senior citizen residents took place Aug. 15-16 at PHA's Wilson Park apartment building in South Philadelphia.
Leon White-Bey was one of 17 people who took advantage of the class. White-Bey had many years of computer experience but wanted to keep up with the latest technology. He said one of his strongest motivations to take the class and receive the netbook was to become comfortable using a touchpad instead of a mouse. He hopes that the skills he gained from the class, along with the continuing education he gets as a member of the Moorish Science Temple of America, will improve his chances of getting a job.
"Right now I'm looking for maybe some small computer work where I can learn how to do word processing, and if I can learn how to do that, some data entry," White-Bey said.
Not everyone in the class sought a new job with their skills. Annette Green, a stay-at-home housewife, signed up for the class mainly because she just wanted to learn.
"The computer is where the world's headed, and it's interesting; it caught my attention," Green said. "I like to venture myself." She was also motivated to get online so that she would no longer have trouble obtaining everyday services that require an email address. Signing up for cell phone service was recently problematic for her because she didn't have an email address before taking the computer class.
PHA residents who have not yet received a netbook can call 215-684-1016 to find out when and where upcoming trainings are. Most trainings take place at Community College of Philadelphia sites, but trainings like this one can be scheduled at PHA sites if sufficient demand exists.
