Noel, can you post the cr2
I want to try a code to smoothen up the highlights. I've been testing it on blown sky, but I don't have a raw like this, as 99% of my photos are daylight. I can make a transition smoother, although with existing ACR workflow I think it's not possible to make the same degree of matching with in-camera jpeg as in non-blown parts of the picture.
Older Adobe Camera profiles perform badly in this area because of several reasons - baseline exposure tag (causing unnecessary clipping), matrix color space transformation and clipping into Photo Pro (especially in blue color, as blue virtual primary position is outside Photo Pro gamut for most cameras) etc ... Things get worse if you use exposure slider and many times even recovery slider, because profile is calculated on clipped data ... etc ...

I did, though the link isn't obvious. Click on the text "an image I shot" in the original post.
To be honest, your profile already works so well I wasn't thinking it needed to improve, though I've noted (as you mentioned) that if I don't keep a bit of negative exposure compensation dialed in the transition gets more abrupt.

Actually, at default exposure setting (-0.24), my profile also produces abrupt banding around the strongest blue light. However, it's gone by decreasing exposure to about -0.4, or decreasing saturation by 5-6%, or applying recovery 4-5. This banding already exist on the raw - it's where the green channel gets clipped. It looks like the camera / DPP has a sort of automatic recovery procedure or some other mechanism to deal with this, because this part of the picture is rendered differently than the same colors on the test image, so I think I'm not able to emulate this with a dng profile, although I can probably reduce banding at this position in the profile
However, while camera deals better with banding than my profile or Camera Standard , hue is even more wrong - it drops to around 160 (in sRGB), while the original hue of the light is 220 or more. Restoring highlights is always guessing, as information is missing
I hope somewhere in the future we'll get sensors with better dynamic range ...
4. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureNoel Carboni Oct 4, 2011 11:24 AM (in response to Vit Novak)
Yes, I have my default now at -0.5 EV plus a small boost (+62) of Brightness, so the highlights roll off better yet the overall tonality is much the same. Is it possible to scale the numbers in your profile so that negative exposure compensation is not needed?
To be fair all one needs to do to avoid overexposure is underexpose a bit and boom, there's more headroom. In my opinion the headroom provided by my camera already per the metering and histogram on the body itself is fine for virtually all uses. My whole point with this thread is that how the system performs at the edge of the envelope can vary depending on choices we make, and which are not always obvious.
And yes, I noticed that with your DPP standard sRGB profile the blue stays a better hue than with the camera JPEGs. That's all the better for bright skies. I am certainly not upset that the Camera Raw converter can be coerced into outperforming the camera's own conversion - it just doesn't do so out of the box.

Here is another version of Standard profile, where I did some interpolations in highlight range. It behaves better with above picture at default setting of exposure (-0.24) and above. Also, I corrected strange hue shift of near-blown sky present in jpegs from camera. However, it's not possible to eliminate banding around the light present in raw and there will still be some photos rendered better by the camera - can't do better with my current knowledge
It's not possible to eliminate negative exposure correction until Adobe implements this option in dng standard and ACR, unless I do the same as Adobe in profiles for 40D, which results in highlight clipping and issues connected with that
6. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureNoel Carboni Oct 5, 2011 8:00 AM (in response to Vit Novak)
That's awesome!
For "normal" exposure levels it exactly matches the other images converted with the profile you developed before, but the hard edge (e.g., seen when the edges of the image are lightened by Vignetting Correction) is gone. Well done!
I tried it on a number of other images and found that the transition from blue sky to whited-out overexposure was indeed noticeably better, with the sky going to cyan slightly less quicky. For example, I have an evening time exposure with the sky transitioning to overexposure. I converted the image once with Adobe Standard and each of your profiles, and put an extreme Curves adjustment layer over the top to more easily see the transition. Note the color, in particular, of the sky transition into overexposure with the three different conversions, your most recent on the bottom.
You really have gotten your head around how these profiles work with Camera raw, and you do damned good work with that knowledge, Vit!
Let's review the features of this profile:
1. It matches the camera color virtually perfectly, which I for one find an excellent starting point for further Camera Raw adjustments.
2. It handles transition into overexposure IMO as well or better than the camera manufacturer's software and hardware.
3. Since you developed it to match the camera manufacturer's sRGB conversions, and THEY don't think channel clipping is acceptable if the user has chosen to convert to sRGB, it has solved the problem with channel clipping that I had seen with all the Adobe profiles when converting directly to sRGB, and has thus made the action I had been using to do a "bend the edges" conversion unnecessary.
There is nothing not to love here!
Vit, I don't know how much work is involved with making such a profile - clearly you've put some serious time into getting where you are, but would you be interested in partnering with me and selling sets of profiles with characteristics like this one to others who would like to get the best possible Camera Raw or Lightroom conversions? If so, let's talk off the forum via eMail.

Ok Noel, I'm glad this worked fine for you
Several months ago, in one post I stated that I wouldn't underestimate knowledge of companies like Nikon and Canon. Jeff didn't quite agree with me about that, claiming that Adobe was much longer in color business. However, 5 years (or so) ago, when I bought my 400D, it had quite good color management and various things like dealing with highlight clipping were sorted quite good. At that time, PS didn't have profiles at all, and in some aspects even newest profiles don't do the job as good
I made this mostly out of curiosity and because my Canon compacts were lacking ACR support. And to stimulate Adobe to improve color management. Of course, it was a big waste of time. I have no intention to sell these things - I didn't invent anything new, I just tried to extract color profiles from the camera / DPP so they work almost as well as in camera
Also, it would be good if somewhere in the future Adobe provides better profiles for older cameras

I haven't been following this too closely, but isn't the way highlights are badly rendered partly to do with baseline exposure in ACR? Looking at the example above, I'd guess an exposure offset of half a stop would fix the strange blue hue and banding. My own defaults include -0.5EV exposure compensation, and, as I try to expose to the right, this means my high DR shots are often underexposed intentionally to preserve highlights. This is usually compensated by a mixture of small amounts of highlight Recovery, a boost to Brightness, and a suitable amount of Fill, un-flattened by a moderate amount of Clarity.
One thing I don't do is adjust Exposure for the midtones, which is how I'd expect it to work, as this tends to provide washed-out highlights in ACR.
10. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureNoel Carboni Oct 6, 2011 8:00 AM (in response to Yammer)
Thing is, depending on the subject material, you might have a perfectly well-exposed image overall but have a few blown (or nearly blown) highlights - the banner image at the top of this thread is a good example. Sure, you can expose for the highlights, and that will bring your main subject way down in brightness so that when you do the processing it brings out more noise.
But why bother? My point here is that the data is already in there to make better images than Adobe's profiles will facilitate (and even, as it turns out, better than that delivered by the camera maker's own software/firmware). Adobe may feel they know more about color than everyone else, but a demonstrated complete ignorance of how to handle data at the edges of the camera's capabilities says otherwise! Vit clearly understands this.
A year or two ago I created a thread here where I asked why, when I converted raw files directly to sRGB, that I would see channel clipping. I was told that this was because the camera was capturing colors outside of the sRGB gamut, that such clipping was a fact of life, that some new profile format would be needed to fix the problem, and that I was all but stupid for asking such a thing because clearly I didn't understand color management - EVEN THOUGH Canon had long since dealt with the problem and would produce beautiful sRGB output sans clipping from the very same raw files!
Now, lo and behold, here we see a Camera Raw profile that works with that exact same Adobe software that does the job beautifully.
But hey, I'm happier than a clam now... I now make better images from my 40D than everyone in the world who hasn't downloaded Vit's profile.
11. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureYammer Oct 6, 2011 8:19 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)
I get what you're saying now.
It's similar to an epiphany I had a few months ago, when dealing with a small number of photos with very wide gamut colours.
I always (wrongly) assumed that "rendering intent" was very clever in the way that images were converted from one colour space to another. I understand the semantics of the different intents (e.g. gamut clipping as opposed to gamut compression), but in practice this didn't match reality.
Some may remember my incredibly red tulips being converted from ProPhoto to AdobeRGB to sRGB. I understood that conversion of the image to a smaller space using relative colormetric intent would lose some of extreme reds and turn sections of the image to solid red, but what confused me was how perceptual intent produced equally useless conversions. I'd expected a hue shift in order to accomodate the extreme reds, but the results were more or less the same as before. It was explained to me that I would have to manipulate HSL before attempting any colour space conversion. So, I still ask myself what the point of perceptual conversion is.
You're quite right in expecting ACR to deal with highlight areas more satisfactorily. My suggestion was in effect a workaround, which shouldn't be required. Of course you should adjust for midtones, then deal with highlights and shadows later. And you shouldn't have to come up with workarounds to return proper saturation to skies and skin, just because they are very bright.
Like Vit said earlier, it might be cool to see some better camera profiles. I'm not sure how that would help me though, as I generate my own using Adobe's profile editor software and a ColorChecker. Maybe I need to buy Vit a beer and get him to make me one too. What's your poison, Vit?

13. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureVit Novak Oct 6, 2011 2:16 PM (in response to Yammer)
About rendering intents ... icc profiles also evolved during timeline. sRGB.icc on my computer is only 3 kB in size. It's a matrix profile and no matter what rendering intent I select in PS, result is the same (can't be different I suppose). However, on icc site, you can download sRGB v4 profile, which is about 60 kB in size and has matrix for colorimetric rendering and lookup table for perceptual rendering, which means compression of bigger color space into sRGB and various adjustments of hue/saturation/brightness.
Rendering intent in ACR is colorimetric - out of gamut colors are clipped by clamping R, G and B into range 0..1
Rendering intent in Canon cameras and DPP is a kind of perceptual - out of gamut colors are compressed into sRGB or AdobeRGB (at least partially - on top of the gamut it looks like they are also clipped, hence cyan tone of near-blown sky in sRGB mode)
14. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureNoel Carboni Oct 6, 2011 3:48 PM (in response to Vit Novak)
Canon didn't forget that making pretty pictures is part of the goal, even if that involves sacrificing mathematical accuracy.
The cyan shift may be intentional - to help the luminance seem to move up to pure white more smoothly. Note that your latest profile does have a bit more of an abrupt jump to the desaturated bright space just around that bright blue spotlight in my test image above. Your first profile seemed to make the transition a bit more smoothly (similar to the in-camera processing), but then it had the characteristic that any positive exposure compensation (e.g., vignetting compensation) would push it into some kind of overflow, revealing a hard ring.
15. Re: How Camera Raw and Various Profiles Handle Transition Into OverexposureVit Novak Oct 6, 2011 10:59 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)
This hue shift in case of blue/cyan is intentional, also because blown blue colors are rendered around sRGB hue 190 deg, so transition has to be smooth. But in case of sRGB profile, it is abrupt somewhere around half of LUT (depending on saturation), where sRGB nonlinear values reach 1, while in Adobe RGB it's much smoother. It looks like it is clipped into sRGB
Problem about highlights and possible occurence of hard ring is that Canon seems to has built-in LUT that extends above brightness value 1, to cover sensor output after whitebalancing, where R and B can be above 1 (because R and B channels are less sensitive and they are multiplied with WB R and B multipliers). Dng profiles don't offer this possibility - everything above 1 is clipped before LUT calculation, so I adjusted calibrating procedure to this difference, but it can't be handled properly. So whatever I do, it won't be the same in this region (+ there can be some additional logic in the camera). But ACR has recovery slider, which compresses upper region to fit into LUT
This subject is quite complex, really

Buffalo-Rochester Western New York Day is Wednesday, Feb. 5! Stop by to enjoy plenty of New York favorites, like Buffalo wings, Zweigle's Red and White Hots and cold Genesee Beer, along with live music, trivia and more. Photos courtesy JAIME HUFFMAN.
"Here's a little trivia on how the Buffalo chicken wings got started," Marcella mentioned. "The owners of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY, cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for their son and his friends in 1964. The boys liked them so much, wings went on the menu the next day, served with celery and blue cheese. Buffalo wings were an instant hit."
"I can't wait for Buffalo-Rochester Western New York Day! My father grew up in a small town outside of Buffalo (Eden, NY) and all of my family still lives in Western New York," said Jaime Huffman, marketing director for Salty Sam's Waterfront Adventures. "I am a huge Bills fan and I just got a new C.J. Spiller jersey to wear for the celebration. I am most excited about enjoying the Zweigle's hotdogs. I grew up eating them at my grandmother's house and I can't find them anywhere in Florida!"
"Come on out it's a lot of fun and you never know who you'll run into from the Buffalo-Rochester Western New York area. There are no lines, no sign-ups necessary. Just come by and have a blast with us and catch up with your fellow New-Yorkers," Marcella said.

And a woman who has been drinking is in no way to blame if she is raped. That blame lies squarely and altogether with the man who assaulted her.
Women who have been drinking alcohol are not asking to be assaulted any more than women in the military are, and it's estimated that 20 percent of active-duty female soldiers have been sexually assaulted.
Still, an email to students from the College of Charleston's security force, while controversial, was timely and provided important information about steps to take to avoid being assaulted. Walk in groups in well-lighted areas. Let someone know where you are and when to expect you back. And, yes, be aware that at least 50 percent of college student sexual assaults are associated with alcohol use by the perpetrator, victim or both.
The email has drawn criticism from those who think it suggests sexual assault victims who have been drinking are partly culpable.
There is a big difference between acknowledging that a woman puts herself at greater risk by drinking (rational) and insinuating that any woman would invite assault — even while drinking (irrational).
This week, two alleged sexual assaults near the campus were reported to College of Charleston police. The police email described those incidents and noted that in both cases the victims had been drinking.
Some experts say linking sexual assault to the victim's drinking is akin to linking an assault to the victim wearing a short skirt: unfair, misleading and unacceptable.
But warning students — male or female — that drinking is often involved in sexual assaults is a responsible thing for the department charged with keeping students, staff and faculty safe.
Perhaps it would have been helpful had the email included statistics about alcohol use and other assaults. Students who are intoxicated — male and female — also have been held up and robbed.
Or perhaps it would have been helpful to note that alcohol abuse by the perpetrator was determined to be a factor in more than a third of violent crimes committed in the nation. Men and women alike who are with intoxicated people might make better decisions if they remember that.
Dean Kilpatrick, board chairman of People Against Rape and director of the National Crime Victims Center at the Medical University of South Carolina, expressed concerns that the email might be misinterpreted by the public as an indictment of victims who had been drinking.
But he also commended the College of Charleston for notifying students of the alleged assaults — some colleges have been loath to do so out of concern for their reputations.
And he acknowledged that alcohol is a major risk factor in sexual assaults.
People can do stupid things when they are drunk. Really stupid things.
It's absurd to suggest that a woman, even intoxicated, would be to blame for being raped. But statistics show that a woman who is intoxicated is more likely to be assaulted.
The lesson seems clear, and the College of Charleston email can be seen as simply delivering a message that just might prevent some sexual assaults.

Hi, Mamas! My little one is 8 months old, and though he nurses more than he used to, he has always preferred the bottle after the doctors at the hospital insisted I supplement with formula. I noticed a difference in his belly after formula and got him exclusively on breastmilk at three weeks, but by then he really liked the fast flow of the bottle.
We are both heavily dependent upon the pump--he doesn't have much interest in solid food, and if I don't pump properly even after he nurses I get terrible clogged ducts (which led twice to mastitis--ouch). I knew I wanted a hospital-grade pump since with my first (with whom I supplemented a LOT even though she nursed until she was 2) I had a Medela pump-in-style and it didn't work very well for me. Not only did the hospital I was in when I had my son not rent pumps, the lactation consultant only had a very sketchy idea of where I might even be able to rent one. I called all of the places she mentioned, plus a few more, and none of them had pumps in stock. I felt very lucky to find a refurbished Lactina for sale on Amazon for about $300. About six weeks later, the thing just died, and I panicked. It was covered for 90 days, and the company from which I bought it was cool enough to overnight another one to me even before I sent the dead one back, but being without the pump was torture. I sent my husband to Walmart at midnight, and he brought back an Avent pump that did not work well for me. I ended up using the manual pump from the Lactina and taking turns with my husband pumping it.
Fast-forward six months, and my Lactina started making a scary "clickety-clack" noise, like it was going to give up any second. I called and e-mailed the company from which I bought it to see if I could pay to have it serviced. I also asked if they could sell me another refurbished pump at a similar price to use as a backup in case I had to send mine away--I was that desperate. They totally ignored me. I ended up buying another used Lactina on ebay for a similar price, but I realize that either or both of these machines could really die any day, and I would have no idea what to do with them. My friend from college is pumping too, across the country from me now, and she has a Lactina she inherited from her sister. She said she sent it to Medela for servicing when she was pregnant with her second daughter, and that it cost her upwards of $500 for basically a tune up! I really can't do that, but surely there must be medical supply companies that service these machines? I have been searching for several weeks now, and I can't find anything but Medela, Medela, Medela. Does anyone either know of a company that services/repairs breastpumps or have any tips about how to find such a company? Does anyone know what types of companies are likely to perform such services, perhaps even if they don't advertise it? Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

DENVER—Denver is considering lower penalties for people who use marijuana underage.
The Denver City Council gave initial approval Monday night to a measure that would decriminalize the possession of an ounce of marijuana or less for people between the ages of 18 and 21. Penalties would include only fines and no jail time.
The penalties would apply to those young adults without medical permission to use the drug.
The Denver Post reports ( http://bit.ly/1bbGiU8) that the measure would impose fines that range from $150 for the first offense up to $999. The fines would be similar to what people over the age of 21 face when caught smoking or displaying marijuana in public.
A final vote is scheduled next week.

Koni uses hydraulic technology for damping control where all of our other performance shocks use hydraulic and high pressure nitrogen gas. The effect of this in our opinion is that the Koni provides a plusher and softer ride while providing excellent control. Konis are firm, but they transition so smoothly the perception is that they are soft. Konis are also adjustable so that as they wear with age, you can adjust the damping control to compensate.

November 29, 2006 10:34 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Nov. 29, 2006) - The National Gallery of Canada Foundation is very pleased to announce an impressive donation of $75,000 in support of the acquisition of the 9th Earl of Dalhousie Collection by the National Gallery of Canada. Following the article of the NGC initiative by the Ottawa Citizen on September 20th, arts enthusiasts Harvey and Louise Glatt responded generously.
In November, the National Gallery launched a telefunding campaign, inviting its members to support the acquisition of three of the seventeen works of art from the 9th Earl of Dalhousie Collection. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Glatt's generosity, the campaign was expanded to the funding of the entire collection of seventeen prints and watercolour paintings. The Glatts' wish is to motivate other Members and Supporting Friends to support this important fundraising initiative by matching their donation.
"With this donation, the Glatts are helping to ensure that these 19th century treasures return to Canada and add to the breadth of the Gallery's collection of Canadian art", said Pierre Theberge, Director of the National Gallery of Canada. "They are following in the tradition of Lord Dalhousie, who was known as the first patron of the arts in Canada."
For Louise, born in New York City, many Saturdays were Museum days and she quickly learned, "Art is long, life is short". Harvey has always been passionate about his hometown, Ottawa. He stated, "We are delighted to contribute to the acquisition of this unique collection, which was part of Ottawa's heritage and history."
In 2005, Rene Villeneuve, Associate Curator of Early Canadian Art at the National Gallery of Canada, was visiting a castle in Scotland, while on a research trip, and unexpectedly discovered several extraordinarily rare prints and watercolour paintings, which had been collected by George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, while he was Governor General of Canada from 1820 to 1828. The 17 works will be featured in an exhibition, Lord Dalhousie: Collector and Patron, scheduled for February 2008.
Meanwhile, visitors can discover three of the works that are currently on view in the Canadian gallery A102 - The Falls of the Ottawa and the Bridges over the Falls, by James Pattison Cockburn (1823), City of Detroit, Michigan, by John Elliott Woolford (1821), and Exact Resemblance of the Foliage of the Wood in Canada in October-November, by Charles Ramus Forrest (c.1823).
The National Gallery of Canada Foundation
The National Gallery of Canada Foundation is dedicated to supporting the National Gallery and its affiliate, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, in fulfiling their mandates. By fostering strong partnerships, the Foundation provides the Gallery with the additional financial support required to lead Canada's visual arts community locally, nationally and internationally. The blend of public support and private philanthropy enables the National Gallery of Canada to preserve and interpret Canada's visual arts heritage. The Foundation welcomes present and deferred gifts for special projects and endowments.

Applications for the Summer semester
of the in-house clinics will be available on the table
outside of the 3rd floor cafeteria or in the Law Offices,
room 600. The due date will be announced here soon but
it will likely be by the end of the week of March 23.

LEP is a 4-credit hour non-graded program which enables
you to extern with a supervising attorney in a wide variety
of legal areas – private or public, civil or criminal. Externships
are available for the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters.
Some public sector externships enable you to obtain a 711
license and appear in court.
Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement what you learn
in the classroom, you need practical experience in real-world
legal work. Most students aren't fortunate enough to receive
a paid clerking position — or even a volunteer opportunity
— that teaches what they want to learn. LEP presents a unique
and important opportunity to gain exposure to an area of
the law in which you are interested and helps you significantly
broaden your future employment opportunities.
Students interested in civil law may extern in a wide
variety of places. For example, some have externed at the
City of Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office of
the Illinois Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission,
Immigration Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal
Revenue Service, and Environmental Protection Agency, as
well as not-for-profit corporations like Rush University
Medical Center.
Students interested in criminal law have externed at the
US Attorney's Office, the Office of the Federal Defender,
and at the offices of the State's Attorney and Public Defender
in Cook County as well as the surrounding counties.
Information about Summer/Fall 2009 Legal Externships and
an accompanying application form are available in the Law
Offices reception area (Room 600), in the Career Services
Office, and in front of the Spakateria.
If you would like more information about externships,

111036 - Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit - 700 Models
Now you can experience the same rock-solid brake pedal feel that professional racers rely on. Standard brake hoses will experience some swelling under pressure, which results in a soft or spongy feeling in the brake pedal that increases as the car ages.
Our braided brake line kits improve brake system feel and response in two ways. First, the material is much stronger than that found in the stock rubber lines, so swelling and expansion is virtually non-existent. Second, the volume of the each line is significantly reduced, so less pedal movement is required to activate and modulate the brakes, which equates to a more responsive and controllable feel.
Teflon/Kevlar stainless-steel braided lines are comparable to those used on motorsports applications. Lines and fittings are engineered for precise fit. Lines come ready to install with no modifications necessary. Kits replace the original front and rear flexible brake lines. DOT approved.
ipd suggests professional installation. Brake system will need to be bled after installation.
Fits models WITHOUT ABS (anti lock brakes). If your car is equipped with ABS use part number 5212.

TomVH: Justice Hayes Update
Wanted to post this separately so everyone saw it. RB Justice Hayes has decommitted from Notre Dame. He's now considering Tennessee, Notre Dame, and Michigan.
I spoke to him briefly about it, and he said that Michigan is in it for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see Tennessee get him either, though since DeAnthony Arnett is his friend.

Flintoff features on Finals Day
Former England captain Andrew Flintoff made a surprise return for Lancashire in final of the NatWest T20 Blast against Birmingham Bears - exactly five years since his final day of Test cricket.
Flintoff has made just two appearances in the competition since coming out of retirement this year but has been struggling with a calf injury in recent weeks and sat on the sidelines for his side's 41-run semi-final win over Hampshire.
But within minutes of that match concluding, the 36-year-old all-rounder was confirmed as a replacement for the injured Kabir Ali.
Andrew Flintoff was a shock inclusion in Lancashire's side for the NatWest T20 Blast final against Birmingham Bears
Flintoff's name was cheered to the rafters when Lancashire's XI was read out over the public announcement system, eclipsing the reaction afforded to any of the hosts.
Birmingham Bears, also straightforward winners in their first match of Finals Day, seeing off Surrey by 16 runs, won the toss and chose to set a total.

IT Management Slideshow: IT Hiring Trends: Six Best Practices for Recruitment
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 08-30-2012
The current hiring forecast for IT talent continues to present a mixed picture, according to the most recent IT jobs projections from Janco Associates, Inc. On the positive side, a significant percentage of CIOs plan to hire rank-and-file IT talent. But prospects are bleak with respect to bringing on senior-level management talent for the long-term future. Yes, it's an "economy thing." Yet, however paradoxical as it may seem -- even with recruitment efforts getting scaled back -- it's still highly challenging to compete with other tech companies for the employees with the right set of skills. So, as an added bonus, Janco also offers the following six best practices for interviewing and hiring. "It may seem counter-intuitive at first given continued high levels of unemployment and a 'jobless' economic recovery," says Victor Janulaitis, CEO of Janco. "But finding the right talent - with the right mix of skills, behaviors and values to fit in within your organization - is still a challenge." A total of 104 CIOs took part in the forecast research.

Concise description:
Capture Spoils
It would be another spoils option. To win the game, a player must cash in X amount of cards that are owned by that player at that time (bloded). Maybe X could be a variable, or could be set to 5 or 3 or 10 or something, i dont know. Anyway, when "player J" plays cards that he/she owns the territs for, it could be noted in the game log. The side stats could show how many more spoils that player needs to turn in to win. For example, if player J has just turned in 3 bolds, and X is equal to 5, side stats could have: "Player J - 2 more spoils to win" which would note that, if player J turned in two more spoils bolded, they would win the game.
Or more simply, a column titled: spoils remaining
the numbers in that column represents [bold] spoils left to play until victory
Also, the spoils could be made public to all, a la the way teammates spoils can be shown during team games.
Obviously, If a player is eliminated, the killer gets the spoils. Additionally, if no one meets this objective, but they kill off the board, they clearly win.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
I think it could create a totally new type of gameplay with entirely different strategies. Picture seeing that player A only needs one more card to play, they own it, and its nestled behind a 15 stack! Or, imagine the rush as you get a 3 card bolded set to win, surprising the rest of the field!
Or, picture making a kill on someone b/c you notice they have cards you own, and you kill them and can turn in in multiple sets, giving you the victory in one fell swoop!
It could have its own achievment medals, also.
Also, could create a unique dynamic for team games.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Nearly 175 years after work was completed on the North Carolina State Capitol, the architectural plans of the historic structure are nearly in hand.
When completed in 1840, the Capitol was built of locally quarried stone and was the tallest building in the state. Today, skyscrapers on the nearby streets of downtown Raleigh dwarf the graceful structure, with its Greek columns, dome and rotunda.
The Capitol was completed for $563,000 — 10 times the budget and three times the total tax receipts of the state at the time. After a series of architects worked on the project, David Paton was the man who saw the work to completion.
"Toward the end of construction, the state ran out of funds to build the Capitol, so we didn't finish paying our architect. Not being fully paid, he simply packed up all of the original architectural drawings and left," said Kevin Cherry, the deputy secretary of the state Department of Cultural Resources.
Having no architectural plans is a challenge when repairs are needed, and could be problematic if the building had to be rebuilt in the event of fire or other disaster. So for almost a year now, architects who work on conserving historic buildings have been going over the Capitol from attic to cellar taking photographs, making computer generated architectural drawings and hand drawing the details of the building.
The baseline plans for the building, the first phase of the $75,000 project, are expected to be finished in a month or so, said Joseph Oppermann, one of the architects taking part in the effort. The work is being paid for by the nonprofit North Carolina State Capitol Foundation.
The Capitol now houses the governor's office. The legislature moved to newer quarters in the 1960s, although it occasionally returns for ceremonial sessions in the old House and Senate chambers.
Oppermann said the project is about both the past and planning for the future.
"When you have the baseline information, you know that some things will wear out in 20 years and some things in 80 years and some things in five," he said. "I typically use a 20- or a 25-year plan and say, 'Here's the kind of things to anticipate, and here's the kind of costs in today's dollars and how to deal with it in an appropriate fashion.'"
He said he didn't want to comment on the condition of various areas of the building until the work is complete.
"The other way to look at it beside a business plan is sort of like a medical plan," said Peter Aalestad, another of the architects. He compared it to dentist visits and said that for someone who has been before, the first order of business is X-rays.
"If we had the original plans, it would mean we would have had the X-rays to the building," he said. "We're going to get an accurate picture of what it is today, not what it was thought to be."
Foundation member Mary Ruffin Hanbury said the work will allow the state to plan to take care of the building.
"The Capitol is arguably the most significant building in the state for its architecture and its history," she said. "This project will give us a thorough understanding of all aspects of the building, how it has evolved over time, and its present condition. We can then develop a state-of-the-art maintenance plan."
After 175 years, NC Capitol plans nearly in hand
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Nearly 175 years after work was completed on the North Carolina State Capitol, the architectural plans of the historic structure are nearly in hand.

Halloween (UK - BD RB)
Chris takes an early look at the new BD release of the John Carpenter classic...
In the small town of Haddonfield, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finds her night of babysitting turns into a night of sheer terror as she comes face to face with the "Bogeyman". As her friends are cut down one by one Laurie becomes the focus of attack turning one night into what seems like a lifetime… a lifetime about to be cut devastatingly short. (Taken from the PR.)
Okay, so I'm going to preface this review with the following admission: I am not the world's biggest Halloween fan. In fact, I'm willing to bet that I'm not even the biggest fan within a mile radius of my house. I don't know what it is, but I've never really been all that into the film or the Meyers character. Maybe it's because I never saw Halloween until I was in my twenties, by which time I had been desensitised to the point at which the film's rather tame violence and lack of genuine scares had little effect on me (and I'm a proper wimp when it comes to horror movies). Whatever the reason, each and every time I've watched it I've come away feeling somewhat underwhelmed.
Now I find this state of affairs as confusing as anyone else, especially given my love of most of John Carpenter's other works. I count The Thing, They Live and Big Trouble in Little China amongst my favourite films and have an appreciation for his entire body of work, from Assault on Precinct 13 and Christine, to Prince of Darkness and beyond. Hell, I even like Vampires as a (very) guilty pleasure! Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea, because I still like Halloween, I just don't love it. I fully appreciate its place in cinematic history, the slow-burning story, wonderful cinematography and the iconic score, but I simply don't connect with it emotionally. I'm not going to apologise for my opinion, because it is what it is, and those of you seeking validation for your love of the film are going to have to look elsewhere.
Anyway, as I don't have anything new or particularly insightful to say about the feature I'm going to save us all a lot of trouble and cut to the chase. In other words, here's the technical appraisal of the new 35th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray...
While I admit to not being particularly well-versed in the ins and outs of Halloween's numerous home video releases, I am given to understand that none of them has ever really come close to satisfying fans from a visual standpoint. I personally own the US THX DVD and the previous UK Blu-ray, both of which look fairly similar aside from the usual bump in quality associated with high-definition, and I always assumed that they were a fairly faithful representation of the original intent. Judging by the transfer on this new 35th Anniversary Edition that is not the case.
For this release Anchor Bay has enlisted Halloween's director of photography, Dean Cundey, to advise on the colour grading. This means that what you see on this disc represents the original intent for the first time ever, or at the very least the 'original intent' as Cundey sees it at this moment in time. The first thing that strikes you about this new 2.35:1 (1080/24p) image is how desaturated the daytime exterior shots look in comparison to the older Blu-ray. The feature was originally shot in the spring of 1978 and as a result it has never had the autumnal appearance associated with late October. While it's still fairly obvious that it wasn't shot at Halloween, the new grading certainly helps in giving the film a colder, overcast look that more convincingly sells the setting. The darker scenes have also been tweaked, pushing further towards cool blues than previous efforts, but the relative lack of colour means that the difference isn't as pronounced as in the brighter scenes.
As a casual viewer I also noticed differences in the contrast department. The older Anchor Bay is version of the film is 'hotter' than the new effort, which only serves to exacerbate the spring-for-autumn shooting issue. Contrast on this new edition is flatter, which further helps to sell the illusion. These changes to colour and contrast make the image appear slightly gloomier overall, which has the effect of partially obscuring certain details in the darker scenes towards the end of the film. We're not talking black crush here, but more of a reduction in overall brightness (in fact, the old Anchor Bay disc exhibits more crush than this release because of its boosted contrast).
Another positive aspect of the new scan from the camera negative is a slight elevation in detail levels. We're not talking a night and day difference between the old and new Blu-rays, but there is a definite improvement here, particularly in environmental elements and areas of intricate detail such as clothing. Image integrity is also very strong; I honestly didn't spot any film or digital artefacts while watching and the handful of out-of-focus scenes are down to the original photography rather than issues with the transfer. In all honesty I can't find much of anything to fault with this presentation - it's great!
While I have no qualms with the video the audio is a slightly different story. The previous Blu-ray included both LPCM 5.1 and Dolby Digital Mono soundtracks, but while this 35th Anniversary Edition goes one further with a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 track the lossy mono track included on this release is not the original mono track. I can't say for certain, but it sounds very much like a down-mix of the 7.1 track complete with newly created sound effects. Quite why Anchor Bay did this is both a mystery and a disappointment, but the very fact that it's not the original mono makes its inclusion on the disc almost totally redundant.
As for the TrueHD 7.1 track, well it's not too bad, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Remixing mono tracks into multi-channel surround sound is always a bit of a hit and miss affair, but more so when the original source wasn't any great shakes to begin with. Again, while I'm not completely au fait with Halloween's storied history I'm aware of its low budget origins and understand that a fair bit of ADR was done in post. Remixed mono tracks tend to have a thin, almost 'canned' sound, and this track is no exception. Dialogue and effects generally remain rooted in the centre channel, but the quality of the dialogue can vary dramatically even within a single scene on account of the looping. Another problem with creating new mixes is one of adding elements that weren't part of the original sound design, which often sound incongruous. This is perfectly illustrated during the opening moments of the track as Loomis and the nurse drive to the sanatorium as a thunder storm rages. The newly-added effects stand out like a sore thumb and really pulled me out of the movie for a period of time. If it had that effect on me I can only imagine how annoying it would be to a hard-core Halloween fan.
On the plus side, well Carpenter's score - which is the real star of the track - sounds pretty great. By escaping the confines of the frontal array it envelopes the listener and is responsible for the bulk of the the film's atmosphere. There are a few moments when it is a little too dominant, somewhat overshadowing the other elements, but on the whole I am very happy with this aspect of the mix. The surrounds are also employed to deliver a subtle ambience, along with the 'stinger' effects during the jumpier moments, which works to good effect. While not terribly powerful, the subwoofer emits a reasonable amount of bass when called into action (the low notes of the synthesised score, for example).
Looking at reviews of the US set it seems that the majority of people are more forgiving of the issues I've mentioned, but I can't in good conscience award top honours to a disc with what I feel are some significant audio inadequacies. Halloween sounds far from bad, but the newly-added effects are more of a distraction than anything else and the omission of the original mono track - something that is actually used as a selling point for the disc - is either a fairly major technical blunder or a case of contempt for the consumer. Either way it cost the disc points in this area.
The Blu-ray includes a modest collection of bonus material that's likely to feel quite familiar to long-time fans, even if some of it is new. A brief list of what you can find on the disc follows, along with a slightly more in-depth exploration below.
- Audio Commentary by John Carpenter and Star Jamie Lee Curtis
- The Night She Came Home
- On Location: 25 Years Later
- TV Version Footage
- Trailer
- TV Spots
- Radio Spots
The extras begin with a brand new commentary from Carpenter and Curtis, which covers most of the expected bases. Curtis' recollection of the shoot is most impressive, which in turn prompts Carpenter to remember things he might otherwise have neglected to mention. Shot by Kelly Curtis and her husband, 'The Night She Came Home' documentary follows Jamie as she makes a rare appearance on the convention circuit to raise money for charity. It looks like an exhausting process, as the actress spends many hours signing autographs, posing for photos and chatting to the hundreds of fans who visit over the course of the event. 'On Location: 25 Years Later' is a short featurette that revisits the original shooting locations. It includes interview footage with some of the cast and crew and even shows P.J. Soles visiting a site with her daughter and a friend. The disc also includes footage from the TV version of the movie, which actually made for pretty interesting viewing as I'd not previously seen it. The usual trailers, TV spots and radio spots are welcome, if not particularly exciting.
We've already established that I don't revere Halloween to the same extent as many of my peers (by which I mean reviewers on Blu-ray websites), but I appreciate its place in genre history and it's still a solid entry in the Carpenter catalogue. I would hope that people reading this review are sensible enough to separate my opinion from fact, and in no way am I denigrating those who hold it as the greatest horror film of all time (as I know many people do). To each his own and all that...
As to whether this release is worth buying, I'd say that depends on your opinion of the feature itself and whether or not you already own the previous Blu-ray. Halloween fans will absolutely want to get their hands on it for the new transfer, audio shortfalls and all, while those new to the film probably won't see what all the fuss is about when it comes to the audio changes anyway. If you're a casual viewer who already owns the older Blu-ray I'm not so sure the upgrade is worth the money. It's a real pity that the genuine original mono track is missing from the disc, because if it was here we'd be looking at a truly definitive release of the film. As it stands its absence ensures that there's still an opportunity for a 40th Anniversary re-release...

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm glad you didn't fall into the trap of denouncing this as not looking as good as the THX remastered DVD, which in my opinion, had it's colour palette revised to make it look a bit more autumnal instead of the greener, less colourful timing in this version.

It's a nice transfer... I was a little optimistic, plus owning god knows home many versions of this film. This is going to be the last one. (Lets see what happens in five years time, and what else can they milk from this?)

The Occupational Status and Mobility of Hispanics
Hispanics and whites perform different types of work in the labor market. Moreover, the occupational divide between the two largest segments of the labor force appears to be widening. The occupations in which Hispanics are concentrated rank low in wages, educational requirements and other indicators of socioeconomic status.

Organizations with strong security practices are more likely to entrust their data to cloud providers, according to a July survey by the Ponemon Institute, an information security research firm.
In the study, Ponemon surveyed 4,140 business and IT managers across the world, of which 13 percent were central and local government executives.
The finding, "appears to be at odds with the common suggestion that the more security-aware organizations are more skeptical of cloud security and that it is the less security-aware organizations are willing to overlook a perceived lack of security," according to Ponemon. Here are some select findings from the survey.

SALINA — A Kansas man being held on a probation violation is now accused of smuggling drugs into jail inside his artificial leg.
The Saline County sheriff's office says deputies became concerned when the 33-year-old man slurred his speech while complaining Sunday about missing breakfast. Authorities said tests showed the Salina man had been taking drugs.
Sheriff Glen Kochanowski says the inmate is accused of hiding prescription drugs and methamphetamine inside his prosthesis.
The man had been taken into custody in early March on four suspected probation violations. Prosecutors will now decide whether to charge him with drug offenses as well.
