Conversation with Filmmaker Eliot Rausch
If you are a fan of incredible short films on the internet, then you know who Eliot Rausch is. At this moment in my life, Eliot is probably one of the most inspirational filmmakers that have crossed my path. He has a connection with raw human emotions and storytelling that is unparalleled.
Eliot Rausch burst onto the scene in 2010 with his short film LAST MINUTES WITH ODEN, a heart-wrenching story that captures the last few minutes of a dog's life before he is put to sleep. The well-received film won the first-ever Vimeo Film Festival and was named by Time as one of 2010's top 10 Web films, putting him on the map as a filmmaker. The film caught the attention of Uber Content co-founder Preston Lee, who signed Rausch to the production company because of his powerful storytelling ability.

At the beginning of the week, Cliven Bundy was a virtually unknown rancher in Nevada battling an intrusive federal government that had stormed onto his land, killed his cattle, even tasered and arrested his son. By week's end, he was a "stone-cold racist," according to the Washington Post.
So what happened? Simple: As Bundy's lore grew among conservatives, the most extreme of whom have a deep anti-government sentiment, the mainstream (read: liberal) media decided to take the old-timer down a peg. They didn't even have to try that hard, just hold a microphone up and wait for the cowboy to blab away.
Bundy was always an odd "hero." While he complained about government overreach, drawing hundreds of supporters to his land to put up an armed defense, he was, in fact, simply stealing from the government. For 20 years he had failed to pay the government for grazing his cattle on federal land. He had one reason: "I don't recognize the United States government as even existing," he said.
But the government does exist, and all Americans comply with laws we don't much like (think taxes). Bundy had a few choices: Stop grazing his cattle -- for free -- on government land, pay the fees, or battle the powers that be in the courts to change the laws. He did none of those.
So from the beginning, Republicans and conservatives were exposed to danger in worshipping at the alter of Bundy. No one knew anything about his opinions on race -- why would they? What was unfolding was clearly an example of big government stomping on The Little Man, and race was the furthest thing from anyone's mind.
Not so the liberal media. Tagging opponents with the label "racist" is a tried-and-true practice for Democrats, one that ends all debate in its tracks. They deployed the strategy with great success to the emerging Tea Party (remember the allegations that a protester spit on a black member of Congress? It was a lie, but Tea Party members have been dismissed ever since by the MSM as hate-filled racists).
They did it again to Duck Dynasty's patriarch, Phil Robertson. (To refresh, he said this back in December about his youth in the 1950s: "I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once…they're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' -- not a word!… Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues.").
One would think you couldn't argue with a man's recollection of his own experiences, but liberals disagree. Robertson was, no doubt, a racist for having not seen the plight of the black man before the civil rights law. And even more racist for thinking blacks were ever actually "happy."
Enter Bundy. Almost immediately, he's the darling of conservatives, appearing on Fox News so often he could've become a paid "contributor." So the New York Times sent reporter Adam Nagourney, a longtime advocate for Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Barack Obama, out to Bundy's Nevada ranch. Nagourney says he never asked a question at a daily "press conference," that "the stuff he is in trouble over today was stuff he said on his own unprompted."
But the New York Times printed only a few of Bundy's comments and offered an edited version. It wasn't until Friday that a fuller, unedited version appeared, showing the context of Bundy's "racist" remarks (at least what context there was).
Left out of the Times report were two passages: In one, the grammar-challenged rancher talks about experiencing firsthand the Watts race riots in the 1960s, and says this: "We've progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and we sure don't want to go back." In another unquoted passage, he said of Hispanics: "Don't tell me they don't work, and don't tell me they don't pay taxes. And don't tell me they don't have better family structures than most of us white people."
Now, talking frankly about race is not something hoity-toity East Coasters ever do. God forbid someone says something that could be perceived as racist. But Bundy did -- and his conclusions were clear: The federal government's so-called effort to raise minorities from poverty into the middle-class doesn't seem to be a ringing success. Sure, his use of the terms "colored" and "negroes" has long since passed from the politically correct world, but he clearly laments the current plight of American blacks under the federal welfare system while saying there has been much progress and that "we sure don't want to go back."
But by the time the unedited remarks appeared, one-time defenders of Bundy had already bailed. Fox News' Sean Hannity, his biggest champion, called the edited comments "ignorant, racist, repugnant, despicable." Libertarian hero Rep. Rand Paul fled, calling Bundy "racist." A host of others followed.
By late Friday, some black supporters came to the rancher's defense. Jason Bullock, a bodyguard for Bundy, said his comments weren't racist or offensive. Why? "Because Mr. Bundy is not a racist. Ever since I've been here he's treated me with nothing but hospitality. He's pretty much treated me like his own family," he said on CNN.
And: "I would take a bullet for that man, if need be. I look up to him just like I do my own grandfather."
Former U.N. Ambassador Alan Keyes, who is black, said: "He wasn't talking so much about black folks, but about the harm and damage that the leftist socialism has done to blacks. ... "I find it appalling that we basically have a history of the leftist liberalism that wants to extinguish black people by abortion [and] destroying the family structure," Keyes told World Net Daily. "All of these things, if you just look at the effects, you would say this was planned by some racist madman to destroy the black community."
He went even further: "I think it's time somebody started to recognize the racism that exists in its effects – the hard leftist ideology using the black community for their sacrificial lamb, for their sick ideology. It's time we called them what they are," he said. "Now it's racist to point it out."
Still, just like that -- poof -- Bundy's bubble burst. Whatever point he was seeking to make -- that the federal government is too powerful, that states should control land in their own states -- will forever be colored by his remarks on race. He is a racist, the Washington Post said, and "Not the kind where we might disagree about whether he's actually a racist, but a lazy-blacks-had-it-better-when-they-were-slaves kind of racist."
End of story.

The excise tax on medical devices, a controversial part of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, is now evolving from a medical reform issue to a tax reform issue. In a press conference in Boston last month, AdvaMed CEO Stephen J. Ubl said the group will seek to dramatically change the tax as part of the tax reform negotiations taking place to avert the "fiscal cliff" scheduled to occur when the Budget Control Act of 2011 goes into effect.
Even if the tax cannot be totally undone, it's hoped within the industry that some of its most onerous provisions could be changed. One goal, for example, is to exempt start-ups from the tax for a certain period of time.
That said, some of the staunchest opponents of the tax remain hopeful that it will be repealed, citing support from Democrats in the House and the Senate. Even liberal U.S. Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), mindful of medical device employment in Massachusetts, is opposed to the tax. Senior Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry has also expressed concern about the tax. Even if the Senate can muster enough votes to support a House-initiated repeal, it's doubtful that Congress could overcome a presidential veto.

how do you rotate a curve ,whether it is a quadratic ,parabolic any type of curve and get the equation of the new/transformed curve,after rotating by x degrees.
Are you familier with polar coordinates?
Imagine your equation for the curve. Y=...? in polar coordinates (with x=r cos and y=r sin ) it is expressed in r(distance from origin) and , angle created with oX+. with this it's easy to change to the appropriate angle.
I hope this helps
Dynamo, to rotate y= f(x) through angle , around the origin, replace x with and y with .
To rotate y= f(x) through angle , about point , first translate [tex](x_0, y_0) to the origin by subtracting from x and from y, then do the rotation, then translate back.
That is, replace x with and replace y with

Chocolate Tortoni Cups
I was a campfire girl.
I forget what it means but we had this cool little hand signal…. like smoke coming up from a fire… peace, love, bla bla.
I really enjoyed Campfire.
"Would you like to buy some Campfire Candy?"
~No thanks, I already got some. (yeah, right)
"Alright (sad face), thanks for supporting Camp Fire!"
Who's got two thumbs and went to super hi-seller camp every year, from age 7 to 12?
((insert THANK YOU MOM FOR STANDING WITH ME IN THE RAIN WHILE SELLING 364 BOXES OF CANDY!))
So, we had some kind of monthly meetings, complete with rituals, candle lighting, singing, (whoa, sounds weird) and spaghetti dinner.
The kids were usually in charge of desserts, and we made these often. So easy, can be made and frozen waaaay ahead of time, and FUN AND VERSATILE!
They're kinda a simplified version of fancy chocolate mousse, with crunchy cookie pieces.
Slow and low.
Melt it all down.
Stir, baby, stir.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch….
Whip up some cream.
Then fold in the COOLED (slightly) chocolate mixture.
*Don't be impatient like me. I tried once throwing in the 'hot' chocolate mixture, ruined the cream, spilled on my foot, I was fussing at the cat, it was a mess.
Queue the fun part. Add in some cookies. I had some Teddy Grahams on hand.
It's also EXCELLENT with chopped Andes mints, chocolate wafers, candy (?), what else can ya'll think of that would be good??!
That's it! Spoon into little muffin tins and freeze a few hours, until firm.
You can then store them in a ziploc bag until you need them.
When ready to serve, take out and defrost an hour or so.
So easy! You'll love it!
So, any other CampFire Boys and Girls out there?
And share with me some mix-in ideas…. candy canes!! Just thought of that one.
Chocolate Tortoni Cups
Yield: 12 muffin cups
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours freeze
8 oz. German Chocolate or Semi-Sweet Baking Squares
2/3 cup Light Corn Syrup
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
2 cups Cookies, Candies, your choice, broken into pieces (Andes mints are GREAT)
Muffin Liners
Melt chocolate and corn syrup over medium heat, or melt in microwave, let cool. Meanwhile, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in chocolate mixture. Then add cookies or candies and fold again, lightly. Portion into 12 muffin liners. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Let sit out 20 minutes before serving.
Peace, Love, and Easy Treats Ya'll!

Still riding high off of their blockbuster collaboration, Kanye West and 2 Chainz paid a visit to BET's 106 & Park yesterday. 2 Chainz came out first, and when asked about working with Kanye, he praised the Chicago native before introducing Ye to the stunned and delighted audience.
"First of all, I'd like to say it's a blessing to be on the track with all those guys at one time", he said. "Let me introduce the genius behind it. Because I'm tired of explaining it."
"First of all, I feel like Kanye is the best producer in the world", 2 Chainz continued. "The way that he describes things, the way that he sees things is different from anyone else. It's an honor. It's a pleasure to just be in the studio with him at the same time, and just clashing worlds. My background, my resume is filled with street credibility music, trap rap. He kind of brings his colors and images to what I'm doing. So he'll definitely be a part of my project, dropping August 14th, Based on a T.R.U. Story."
"We need more Kanyes. He really speaks how he feels. A lot of things that I want to say, I don't feel I'm in a position or have a right or platform to say it. It just feels good for him to have the mental capacity to know when to tap into urban America, when to cross over, when to take it overseas. He just has the ability to do so many things, and he's just including me in the equation. I just feel blessed, man."
Kanye didn't speak during his time on the show. As host Terrence J explained afterwards, Mr. West was solely there in support of 2 Chainz and didn't want to bring the spotlight on himself.

Andrew Rudd's honey-roasted duck breasts with spiced puy lentils and caramelised apples
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Serves six.
6 duck breasts (skin on)
100ml honey
Salt and pepper
For the spiced lentils 1 red onion, peeled and finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ red chilli
½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
½ tsp ground paprika
½ tsp ground cloves
100ml olive oil
1 tbsp boiling water
100g butter
200g puy lentils
200ml red wine
1 tbsp soy sauce
Handful fresh coriander
1 lime, zest and juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp sugar, or to taste (or to reduce the heat) For the caramelised apples 2 Bramley cooking apples, peeled and cored
50g butter
2 tbsps caster sugar
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 tbsp sweet liqueur
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Season the duck with salt and pepper.
Place a shallow frying pan over a high heat, then drizzle some honey into the pan. When it starts to bubble, add the duck breasts, skin-side down, two at a time. Do not overcrowd the frying pan.
Reduce the heat and cook until golden on each side – approximately one to two minutes on each side. Remove and start again for all six breasts.
When all six are done, transfer to a baking tray. Keep the liquid and reduce at low heat for 10 minutes. Use this for serving.
To make the spiced lentils, place the onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, paprika and cloves into a blender. Add the olive oil and boiling water, then blend to a smooth paste.
In a saucepan, fry the paste in the butter for three minutes at a high heat. Add the lentils, wine and soy sauce. Cook over a medium heat for 35 minutes, or until cooked.
Add the coriander, lime juice and zest, and season with salt and pepper. Add some sugar if necessary.
In the meantime, place the duck in the oven on the middle shelf, skin-side up, and cover with tin foil. You can also place a bain-marie of water in the bottom shelf – this keeps the duck moist.
Cook for about eight minutes, or until cooked to medium. You can cook for longer, if required.
Remove and allow to stand for four minutes. For the caramelised apples, cut the peeled apples into large segments. Put the butter in a frying pan, then add the apples, sugar, and lemon zest and juice.
Lightly fry for one minute, then add the liqueur. Continue cooking for a further one to two minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Serve immediately. Place the duck in the centre of the dinner plate, cut into slices. On one side, fan four segments of apple. On the other side, spoon a portion of the puy lentils.
This recipe works really well with potato fondants (see above). You can also spoon some of the reserved honey reduction over the duck.
Top tip: If the lentils are too spicy, add some sugar.

Comments on Neutron diffraction studies of collagen in human cancellous bone by Skakle & Aspden (2002)
aThe Forsyth Institute, 140 The Fenway, Boston, MA 02115, USA
*Correspondence e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Comments are made on a paper by Skakle & Aspden [J. Appl. Cryst. (2002), 35, 506–508 ] regarding the lateral spacing of collagen in human bone.
Skakle & Aspden (2002) report their determination of the lateral spacing of the collagen in human bone, both compact and cancellous. They question the accuracy of previous neutron diffraction studies of mineralized tissues. One objective of their study was to improve the determination of the diffraction line peak in the presence of considerable noise.
In prior studies, it was assumed that the signal cross section is a Gaussian embedded in noise. The two components are extracted as two functions using a least-squares program. The Gaussian peak is taken to be the peak of the diffraction line. Skakle & Aspden used a computer program that does not assume a shape for the line except that it be similar to a second-order polynomial. They found the lateral spacing of wet tissue human compact bone to be 1.230 nm, and 1.191 nm when dry. Lees et al. (1984) reported finding the lateral spacing for cow bone, of density 2.04 Mg m−3, to be 1.24 nm wet and 1.16 nm dry. Skakle & Aspden did not cite the density of their material.
Lees (2003) showed that the lateral spacing d for compact bone collagen is strongly linear with the inverse wet density,
where ρ is the wet tissue density. There is a different line for the dry tissue spacing,
The slope of the wet tissue spacing is positive and that for the dry tissue is negative. The largest deviation for either line is less than 0.02 nm. Values for the lateral spacing are listed in Table 1 for both cow and human bone densities. The values of Skakle & Aspden are entered in the last column. The entries for bone of density 2.04 and 1.80 Mg m−3 are experimental; the others were obtained from the above equations.
Since the lateral spacing increases with decreasing wet tissue density, and 1.23 nm is a value smaller than that of the other wet tissues in Table 1, the tissue density should be greater than 2.04 Mg m−3. The same argument is employed for dry tissues. When the lateral spacing decreases with decreasing density, and 1.191 nm is greater than all other dry tissue terms in Table 1, the wet density again should be greater than 2.04 Mg m−3. Skakle & Aspden were unable to interpret their results because they did not account for density. The difficulty here is that human compact bone is less dense than cow bone. The data-extraction protocol must be consistent since it yields the strong linear dependence on the inverse wet density with an uncertainty less than 0.02 nm
Lees & Hukins (1992) demonstrated the successful use of X-ray diffraction to determine the lateral spacing of collagen in cow bone of wet density 2.01 Mg m−3. Six adjacent samples of the same bone were obtained. The uncertainty between samples was ±0.03 nm and the uncertainty within a single pattern was ± 0.01 nm. The lateral spacing (1.22 nm) compares with the calculated value of 1.244 nm, allowing for the uncertainty. No assumptions for the shape of the diffraction line were required. It would be valuable to compare the lateral spacing for the same single specimen by the various known methods in order to evaluate the contributions to the error by the source of neutrons and by the data-extraction process. If possible, the same data should be treated by several processes.

Legislation reauthorizes E-Verify program for three years
The legislation, signed Sept. 28, 2012, also reauthorizes the EB-5 Regional Center program, the Special Immigrant Non-Minister Religious Worker program and the Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver program until Sept. 30, 2015.
The U.S. House of Representatives sent the bill to the President Sept. 13, 2012, after passing it by a vote of 412-3.
E-Verify is a free, Internet-based service that enables employers to electronically verify that newly hired employees are authorized to work in the United States by voluntarily comparing information from an employee's Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 to data from U.S. government records. More than 300,000 employers use the program, including the federal government, legislative branch and contractors.
"SHRM and its members are fully committed to hiring only work-authorized individuals and believe that an extension of the E-Verify program is a step in the right direction," said Mike Aitken, vice president of government affairs for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), following the House's action. "We also recognize, however, that the current employment verification system is in need of real reform. That is why we are pleased to see that Congress included language in the extension to explore the use of identity authentication approaches through the E-Verify program and to encourage the seamless integration of an electronic I-9 into E-Verify to create a simplified electronic verification process."
Other Affected Visa Programs
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) administers the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as "EB-5," created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under a pilot immigration program first enacted in 1992 and regularly reauthorized since, certain EB-5 visas are set aside also for investors in regional centers designated by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.
The Conrad State 30 J-1 program waives the two-year residence requirement under the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program for international medical graduates who have completed their medical education in the United States, and chosen to work at least three years in medically underserved areas.
The Non-Minister Religious Worker program provides up to 5,000 special immigrant visas each year; religious organizations use them to sponsor foreign nationals to come to the United States and perform vital services to people in some of the nation's neediest and most underserved areas.

Immelt accepts mission to generate jobs in U.S.
President recruits GE executive to lead competitiveness panel
Published 12:00 am, Saturday, January 22, 2011
SCHENECTADY -- President Barack Obama hopes the leader of the nation's second-largest exporter can revive the United States' ability to create jobs.
Obama told cheering crowds Friday at the General Electric Co. plant in Schenectady that company chairman and chief executive Jeffrey Immelt will head the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The President was in town to highlight GE's success at innovation, and the jobs it has created as it builds massive generators and steam turbines for countries like India and Saudi Arabia.
The local plant exports 90 percent of what it produces, and Obama would like to see that happen at other U.S. companies.
"I think that's what they have to do," Immelt said during a reception later Friday for local business leaders. "Ninety-five percent of consumers are outside the United States."
Job growth has been lackluster, the President admitted during his Schenectady speech.
The nation has added about 1 million jobs over the past year, but that pace needs to accelerate into "overdrive," Obama said.
"(M)illions of people are still out there looking for work," Obama said. "And even here in Schenectady, as well as GE is doing, I know everybody here knows a neighbor or friend or relative who's still out of work."
U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, said Immelt showed courage by "the fact that he accepted the challenge."
And Charles Steiner, president of the Chamber of Schenectady County, also thought Immelt was a good choice for the post.
"Talk about the right guy at the right time," Steiner said. "Where better to look for that leadership than General Electric?"
While much of the focus Friday was on the turbine and generator business at GE, the company also is about to open an advanced battery manufacturing plant that will employ 350. It has located its renewable energy headquarters at the GE campus, which employs more than 650 people.
The company employs 7,000 people in the Capital Region, even after spinning off its plastics business in Selkirk and its silicones and sealants business in Waterford.
The new post chairing the President's jobs and competitiveness council isn't the first such job Immelt has held during the Obama administration.
More Information
Earlier, he was an adviser on a panel headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker that helped steer the nation through the financial collapse.
At the time, the nation was facing another Great Depression, Obama said. But the panel helped "steer our country from deep recession into recovery."
Immelt said the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness will include CEOs, small-business owners and entrepreneurs.
"The most important thing is to pick the right people," he said.
And it will have a narrow focus on competitiveness, innovation and job creation. Tax policy and export policies will be part of the mix, Immelt said. Tax investment credits led GE to invest $13 million in its Schenectady turbine plant, he said.
The government's energy policies also will be important. "Energy policy over time can help a facility like this," Immelt said.
And overseas markets, most notably China, will have to be as open to U.S. products as this nation is to their exports. Immelt has spoken frankly in private about GE problems accessing Chinese markets without major barriers.
"Free means free," Immelt said after the President's speech. "If this is an open market, China has to be an open market."

Posted by Thomas Santana in Development, Technology, Tips and Tricks
Before modern-day shipping, packing and transporting different shaped boxes and other oddly shaped items from ships to trucks to warehouses was difficult, inefficient, and cumbersome. That was until the modern day shipping container was introduced to the industry. These containers could easily be stacked and organized onto a cargo ship then easily transferred to a truck where it would be sent on to its final destination. Solomon Hykes, Docker founder and CTO, likens the Docker to the modern-day shipping industry's solution for shipping goods. Docker utilizes containerization for shipping software.
Docker, an open platform for distributed applications used by developers and system administrators, leverages standard Linux container technologies and some
git-inspired image management technology. Users can create containers that have everything they need to run an application just like a virtual server but are much lighter to deploy and manage. Each container has all the binaries it needs including library and middleware, configuration, and activation process. The containers can be moved around [like containers on ships] and executed in any Docker-enabled server.
Container images are built and maintained using deltas, which can be used by several other images. Sharing reduces the overall size and allows for easy image storage in Docker registries [like containers on ships]. Any user with access to the registry can download the image and activate it on any server with a couple of commands. Some organizations have development teams that build the images, which are run by their operations teams.
Docker & SoftLayer
While many people share images on the public Docker registry, security-minded organizations will want to create a private registry by leveraging SoftLayer object storage. You can create Docker images for a private registry that will store all its information with object storage. Registries are then easy to create and move to new hosts or between data centers.
Creating a Private Docker Registry on SoftLayer
Optional setup step: Change Docker backend storage AuFS
- Install the following package to enable AuFS:
apt-get install linux-image-extra-3.13.0-36-generic
- Edit
/etc/init/docker.conf, and add the following line or argument:
- Restart Docker, and check if the backend was changed:
service docker restart docker info
The command should indicate AuFS is being used. The output should look similar to the following:
Containers: 2
Images: 29
Storage Driver: aufs
Root Dir: /var/lib/docker/aufs
Dirs: 33
Execution Driver: native-0.2
Kernel Version: 3.13.0-36-generic
WARNING: No swap limit support
Step 1: Create image repo
- Create the directory
registry-osin a work directory.
- Create a file named
Dockerfilein the
registry-osdirectory. It should contain the following code:
# start from a registry release known to work FROM registry:0.7.3 # get the swift driver for the registry RUN pip install docker-registry-driver-swift==0.0.1 # SoftLayer uses v1 auth and the sample config doesn't have an option # for it so inject one RUN sed -i '91i\ swift_auth_version: _env:OS_AUTH_VERSION' /docker-registry/config/config_sample.yml
- Execute the following command from the directory that contains the
registry-osdirectory to build the registry container:
docker build -t registry-swift:0.7.3 registry-os
Step 2: Start it with your object storage credential
docker run -it -d -e SETTINGS_FLAVOR=swift -e OS_AUTH_URL='https://dal05.objectstorage.service.network layer.com/auth/v1.0' -e OS_AUTH_VERSION=1 -e OS_USERNAME='<API-USER>' -e OS_PASSWORD='<API_KEY>' -e OS_CONTAINER='docker' -e GUNICORN_WORKERS=8 -p 127.0.0.1:5000:5000 registry-swift:0.7.3
This example assumes we are storing images in DAL05 on a container called
docker. API_USER and
API_KEY are the object storage credentials you can obtain from the portal.
Step 3: Push image
docker tag registry-swift:0.7.3 localhost:5000/registry-swift docker push localhost:5000/registry-swift
You can ensure that it worked by inspecting the contents of the container in the object storage.
Step 4: Get image
docker pull localhost:5000/registry-swift
Images can be downloaded from other servers by replacing localhost with the IP address to the registry server.
Final Considerations
The Docker container can be pushed throughout your infrastructure once you have created your private registry. Failure of the machine that contains the registry can be quickly mitigated by restarting the image on another node. To restart the image, make sure it's on more than one node in the registry allowing you to leverage the SoftLayer platform and the high durability of object storage.
If you haven't explored Docker, visit their site, and review the use cases.

October 26th, 2015 at 5:03pm
To clear up a few things:
1) In the Docker file the sed command needs to have EXACTLY 4 spaces before swift_auth
RUN sed -i '91i\ swift_auth_version: _env:OS_AUTH_VERSION' /docker-registry/config/config_sample.yml
I'm guessing the formatting of the blog just messed that up.
# docker run -t -i registry-swift:0.7.3 /bin/bash

If that last line isn't aligned properly, it will result in an error.

Forever wild, and possibly wired
Initiative aims to bring broadband Internet access to Adirondacks
Published 1:00 am, Wednesday, August 5, 2009
The Adirondacks are forever wild, thanks to legislation that established the Adirondack Park more than a century ago.
It Anthony Collins and Elmer Gates have their way, the park also will be forever wired.
Clarkson University, of which Collins is president and Gates an alumnus, is hosting a conference in September that will look at ways to bring high-speed Internet access to the largely rural park, encouraging corporate telecommuters, entrepreneurs, green tech commerce advocates and others to establish businesses there and help build the region's economy.
Gates and Collins have formed the Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work, recruiting town and county officials to work on ways to bring broadband — the term used for high-speed connections suitable for video and data-intensive applications — to the hamlets and villages dotting the Adirondacks.
"It's one of those issues that seems like there's no obvious downside to it," Collins said during a visit to the Times Union on Tuesday afternoon.
"Several organizations are committing cash resources, in-kind donations," said Kevin Lynch, director of network services at Clarkson. "There's just a tremendous amount of support."
There also are hurdles.
Regulations governing the park limit the installation of cell towers that might be used to bring third and fourth-generation data services to mobile phones and notebook computer users.
The cost of installation also may be prohibitive.
More than 70 percent of area residents have no broadband access, Lynch said. Of the 30 percent who do, only 30 percent of those actually use it.
Nationally, the figure is 50 percent.
"We really have to drive the demand for it to make it profitable for these providers," Lynch said. He said broadband might have to be approached like rural electrification was in the 1930s, with subsidies to cover some of the providers' expenses.
Gates, meanwhile, in an interview to be published in Clarkson's alumni magazine, likened the Adirondacks' challenge to those faced by such countries as India and the Philippines.
Now, technology allows accounting offices to employ workers in those countries, and to have MRI results and X-rays read in China.
Gates said the Adirondacks could compete.
Clarkson also is developing eight business centers consisting of rooms with computers and conferencing facilities for use by telecommuters and local entrepreneurs.
The first is already open in Blue Mountain Lake.
Citing figures that as many as 30 percent of IBM employees telecommute, Collins sees opportunities for Fortune 500 companies, startup software companies, and even call centers to locate their employees here.
The first Forever Wired conference, which organizers plan to make an annual event, will be held Sept. 8 at Clarkson University in Potsdam. More information is available at www.clarkson.edu/adk.

With a self-imposed deadline looming to decide by the end of the month whether to expand Medicaid, Haslam's administration is asking lawmakers on both sides of the issue to stand down.
Letters from the governor's office Monday cited "philosophical reasons" to opposing both Democrat and Republican bills to mandate the direction the state takes on expanding the state's Medicaid program known as TennCare.
"The administration understands that this is an important issue to you and is cognizant of your efforts. The administration, however, respectfully disagrees with this legislation in its current form," read the form letters signed by Leslie Hafner, director of legislation.
The letter asked sponsors to "please consider taking no further action" on the legislation until the governor's administration can touch base about its concerns.
Rep. Jeremy Durham (R-Franklin) is sponsoring House Bill 937 [1] in the House to ban an expansion. He said he would still push the legislation forward, despite the governor's request he hold it.
"I'm a little bit disappointed it was flagged the day before the Senate vote, two days before the first House vote, but I understand his reservations," Durham said. "I hope we still get to have a good conversation about it."
Sen. Lowe Finney (D-Jackson), who is sponsoring Senate Bill 604 [2] to require the state expand the Medicaid program to more people, plans to move forward with his bill as well, according to a spokesman.
The federal government has agreed to pay 100 percent of the costs for the expansion for three years, then scale back funding to 90 percent.
Opponents of the expansion argue there's no guarantee the federal government will keep its financial promises and don't want to put Tennessee in a position to add new people to the TennCare rolls only to kick them off a few years later.
Fans of expanding the program say the move would give coverage to roughly 300,000 more people. Advocates also say hospitals would risk layoffs and rural hospitals could face closure if Haslam decides against expansion.

Ask Amy
Readers give their advice
Related Stories
DEAR AMY: It was extremely troubling to me to read about the attitude of the "young and ambitious" attorney who trashed her secretary on Facebook (referenced in the letter from "Flummoxed").
I am the managing partner of a small law firm. I am pleased that this attorney does not work for (or with) me. Prior to being with my firm, I was a consultant with several large firms and the CEO of a small corporation.
Law firms, like most other organizations, are collaborative endeavours with success dependent on everyone's efforts. It appears that this young attorney sees herself as a shining star, owing any success to no one but herself.
She may find herself on her own sooner than she anticipated, as I can't imagine any firm wanting to retain or hire a person with such a toxic attitude. She will then be her own support staff (heaven help anyone she hires) and will find out just how much her former firm's support staff assisted her in her success. Only then will she begin to appreciate how important the people surrounding her are.
Anyone who describes anyone else as "just a (fill in the blank)" is reflecting their own ignorance and insecurities. Everyone in an organization plays an important role in that organization's success and they are deserving of their dignity. Those who would rob anyone of their dignity deserve to be shown the door. -- Alan in Walnut Creek, Calif.
DEAR ALAN: This attorney's arrogance and public humiliation of her support staff on Facebook appalled some of her family members -- and many readers.
Thank you for an eloquent explanation of just how vital cooperation is in any successful venture.
DEAR AMY: I felt the need to respond to the letter from "Frustrated," who stated that her son was "gender queer" and was concerned about his attire at a restaurant. While your advice to the mother was sound, I felt your advice to the son -- that he "grow up and quit sulking" -- was insulting and ignorant.
I am the aunt of someone who identifies as gender queer. Being truly gender queer is not a political or fashion statement -- it is an expression of one's true identity.
My "nibling," the gender-neutral term for nephew or niece, is neither male nor female, but both. Just as I prefer to wear a skirt and heels and express the feminine side of myself, so does my nibling. My nibling sports a beard and a spectacular (and enviable) wardrobe of dresses. Just as I would have the good sense not to wear a barely there sequined mini to a conservative restaurant, so would my nibling.
The process of coming out as gender queer was long and difficult, and my nibling struggled with years of unhappiness and feeling uncomfortable in "their" own skin. (There is currently no satisfactory gender-neutral term for his or her.) The decision to express himself/herself openly, despite the reactions and repercussions, was an act of real bravery. As a family, we have all stood behind my nibling; everyone deserves to be able to be who they are. -- Proud Aunt
DEAR AUNT: Your "nibling" is fortunate to have your support. But I stand behind my basic advice to a 24-year-old who seems to have embroiled his mother in his choices of what to wear: Grow up. Stand up. Wear what you want and prepare yourself for the impact on others. Be respectful of people and situations. In short, I'm describing the sort of bravery you say your family member demonstrates.
DEAR AMY: I could not believe your response to the letter from "Sober," whose neighbour, "Brandy" got drunk and disorderly. You called it "sexual assault!"
A man should call the cops for having his hair pulled by a woman? Your advice is extreme in almost any circumstance. I'm pretty sure that "Sober" is dying to know if there is even a remote chance that "Brandy" is interested in him! -- Bob
DEAR BOB: Yes. Being pulled into a bedroom by your hair and having a kiss forced upon you is sexual assault, no matter the gender of the perpetrator.

Blessings rain upon me!
In addition to who I've met while I've been back in PA. Currently Jeremiah, Steve (Wez), his wife Lia, and Jared have contacted me. These are dear friends from the military, Jeremiah, I knew at Dyess, where I met Steve also. Steve and I got on station pretty much the same day. He was also at Osan with me, where I met my roomate Jared, we arrived the same day. Jared, as my roomate, had to put up with my constantly drunk ass every day for the better part of a year, but then again I had to put up with his conspiracy theories. I think it was a fairly even trade off... for the most part. I was drunk most of the time so I don't happen to remember so much... I guess he got the short end of the stick. God bless him for not smothering me in the middle of the night at any given time, for any given reason.. I met (the Rev.) Bryan Kelly at Osan as well. To even begin to explian him I'd need another couple of posts. Last but not least, Lia came along... she's been a constant pain in the ass ever since. Just kidding! But I've always called her "The Princess" for a reason, because if she isn't treated as such, she's liable to tear your eyes out! Since the beginning of Ramadan, all these old friends of mine have made contact again. Seemingly out of the "blue clear sky" as it were. It's either a helluva coincidence, or a gift from above. I am thankful either way, but I know better. I appreciate all of my friends, those I see every weekend, and those I am just now getting to speak to after so much time, who's absence has been missed and whose recent contact is so much appreciated now. I really cannot convey adequately in words what I feel, but I feel very blessed. Thank you all very much. May peace be upon you all!

Real estate board celebrates 100 years
San Antonio group has embraced changes brought by house hunting online.
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, November 25, 2010
It's not often than an organization not only survives but keeps growing for 100 years. Yet the San Antonio Board of Realtors this year is celebrating its centennial.
Since 1910, SABOR has grown from a small group of rather serious-looking businessmen (judging by an old black-and-white photograph from its archives) to a 7,400-member organization with a diverse membership.
The city's most visible real estate organization started at a June 1910 meeting at the St. Anthony Hotel, where a group of "real estate men" gathered to create a professional organization. One of their initial goals was to try to stop curbstoning, or practicing without a license.
"They wanted to bring professionalism to the industry," said Angela Shields, CEO of SABOR.
The San Antonio group joined the National Association of Real Estate Boards in 1916. And it helped form the Texas Association of Realtors in 1920.
The first Multiple Listing Service, the basic system that's still used to advertise homes for sale, was started in the 1950s. But it didn't have photos at first and for decades was in the form of a big book that was delivered to real estate offices.

The organization has been at its location on Interstate 10 near Medical Drive since 1973, and in the mid-1970s its membership reached 2,300.
SABOR now runs real estate training programs seven days a week on everything from specialized designations to using feng shui to stage a home.
Although real estate agents have always been quick to adopt new technology such as computers to cell phones to, now, iPads, Shields said some of the biggest changes for the organization and the real estate industry have come in recent years.
"The Internet changed the business so much," she said.
Now, most clients start house hunting online first and come to agents armed with information and questions.
Scott Caballero, chairman-elect of SABOR, also said the centralized showing service, which has been around for four or five years, has also been a game changer. It allows agents to set up appointments online or by calling a central number.
Chairwoman Marietta Alba also said the system makes it easy for home sellers to learn quickly from other real estate agents what people are saying about their home.
"The sellers want feedback," she said. "That's how they know their home is showing, and how it's showing."

Clear Channel Finland updates their Business Panorama digital network at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport with the installation of two 8.7sqm state-of-the-art Absen N4 LED screens to deliver advertising campaigns from some of the world's best known brands.
Chosen by Clear Channel International as a trusted partner for some of the world's biggest airports, Absen is fast emerging as a leading product specialist in the airport vertical.
Completed in 2016, the installation marked another milestone in the relationship between Clear Channel and Absen, with the companies collaborating together for more than three years on projects and product innovations - such as the Absen N Series, developed with airport and retail environments in mind.
Features such as front installation and service, an ultra slim panel (less than 6cm), noiseless advanced monitoring, image quality, and the uniformity and consistency of the image all set the N4 apart and make it perfectly suited to the modern airport environment. Helsinki joins international airports in Italy (Rome, Venice), Australia (Sydney, Brisbane), New Zealand (Auckland), Norway (Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim) and tens of locations in the US which all now boast Absen solutions.
The professional relationship between Clear Channel Finland and the airport's operator, Finavia, has been strong for the past 20 years. The two companies have worked closely together on several development projects. This relationship has paved the way for Clear Channel Finland to bring new ideas to the table which work not only for their customers, but also for Finavia's – as well as travellers using Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport.
Clear Channel Finland Sales Director, Ville Bergman, says, "The idea was to increase digital formats in Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, replacing the ageing 4x4 digital advertising video wall with new modern advertisement screens."
Working closely with Finavia's engineers, Clear Channel and Absen were able to determine the best possible solution, with size, weight and load all needing due consideration.
Two N4 displays, 4.32m w x 2.016m h, 8.71 sqm each, were used, and prime for fast and simple installation, the units were suspended from the ceiling on a tubular steel frame.

U.S. Antarctic Program Shallow Drilling Project (SHALDRIL) Cruises Completed Using DOSECC Tools
SHALDRIL (for SHALlow DRILling) is a project of the United States Antarctic Program aimed at developing and demonstrating a system to obtain drill core from the Antarctic continental margin. The concept behind SHALDRIL is to drill through the stiff glacial overburden that covers nearly all of the Antarctic continental shelf and has historically inhibited piston coring, in order to sample older deposits where they come close to the seafloor. In addition to being able to sample older lithified material, the system developed must also have the ability to sample soft sediment. SHALDRIL is designed to operate between the continental slope, where traditional drill ships typically work, and the fast-ice zone, where ANDRILL is best suited. The success of the SHALDRIL method is dependent upon having a mobile drilling platform, capable of operating in ice-covered waters, and a drilling system that can retrieve high-quality core during an extremely short operating window.
The History
In 1994, a workshop was convened at Rice University in Houston, TX. Fourteen scientists attended the workshop, which focused on new data from the continental shelf offshore of Seymour Island (Anderson et al., 1992; Sloan et al., 1995). There was strong consensus from the group that shallow drilling would yield key information about this critical region, the "Last Refugium of Antarctica." The workshop participants also discussed drilling technology. In the final analysis, it was determined that the technology for SHALDRIL was not yet ready. A SHALDRIL committee was formed to monitor technical advances. The result of this work is several reports outlining different methods and techniques that might be utilized. In 2000, the SHALDRIL steering committee learned about improved drilling systems, including diamond coring, capable of drilling in water depths of several hundred meters and to core a few hundred meters beneath the seafloor. In 2003 a contract was signed with Seacore Limited (UK) to design and build a vessel specific drilling rig and to conduct the drilling operations for SHALDRIL. The rig was mounted over a small moonpool that was installed through the starboard deck of the RV/IB Nathaniel B. Palmer (Fig. 1).
The Campaign
SHALDRIL II was conducted in the northwestern Weddell Sea and the primary drilling targets were in the northern portion of the James Ross Basin, which contains one of the most complete Neogene successions anywhere in Antarctica (Anderson, 1999). Previous seismic investigations have revealed a virtually continuous succession of seaward-dipping strata on the continental shelf. The succession spans the late Eocene through Pleistocene.
Throughout both cruises the Seacore rig operated without difficulty and only minor adjustments were made to it between the cruises. The sampling tools for SHALDRIL I worked extremely well when taking push samples through soft Holocene sediments but were not so successful at getting through the stiff Pleistocene till. Thus, a change was made for the 2006 cruise to develop a modified set of sampling tools supplied to Seacore through DOSECC.
DOSECC Bottom Hole Assembly
The primary set of drilling hardware includes a suite of DOSECC tools that were designed to work within a common bottom hole assembly (BHA). The DOSECC tools were originally designed to operate with a drill bit with an internal diameter (ID) of 3.345″. However, for SHALDRIL, the bit throat was modified to accommodate a larger 3.85" ID. The larger throat would have allowed the Seacore piggy-back coring hardware (PBCH) to be deployed through the common BHA bit if material was encountered where high-speed diamond coring was required. This option was not deployed during the 2006 campaign. Since the time at any drill site was severely limited due to drifting ice, it proved important to have multiple tools fitting the same BHA in order to reduce tripping times to change the BHA.
Two coring assemblies and one non-coring tool were developed. These include an extended-nose spring-loaded corer and another DOSECC assembly known as the Alien corer. The extended nose corer is typically used for sediments after push or piston sampling is exhausted. The alien corer is similar to the extended nose corer but is designed to sample harder material and uses a triple core barrel inner tube assembly that is rotated in conjunction with the larger outer BHA. Due to increasing the bit and tools to accept the larger throat size in the primary BHA bit, all tools were then able to sample the same core size. The alien corer proved to be the tool used during the majority of the SHALDRIL II cruise. Sample recovery was high using this system. In addition, drilling through the subglacial and glacial-marine diamictons that form the overburden above most of the targeted strata was just as fast with the alien corer as with the non-coring tool (i.e., center bit installed in place of a coring assembly).
Drill-in Bottom Hole Assembly
As noted above, the first hardware option allowed up to three sampling systems to be deployed through the same BHA. Others tools are available but were not part of the suite of tools purchased by Seacore for SHALDRIL II. Should hard rock be encountered at a very shallow depth where the common BHA bit cannot be advanced easily, a different operating system can be deployed. This hardware, which was originally developed at ODP and slightly modified for SHALDRIL, uses a robust five roller-cone bit and a one-cone center bit latched into its throat. The center bit is removable via wire line once the BHA has been drilled to depth to allow a clear passage for the PBCH to be initiated. This hardware was not deployed during SHALDRIL II.
The Results
During SHALDRIL II, the ice conditions along the existing seismic lines did not allow any of the proposed sites to be occupied in their exact locations. The ability to continue drilling into sections of the desired age was dependent on collection of new seismic data during the cruise. In effect, areas of open water were identified, then seismic data was collected and correlated, and then sites were selected and drilled before changes in ice conditions. Without this ability to follow the water, chances are none of the objectives would have been met.
While none of the planned sites were drilled, nearly all of the coring objectives were met by drilling in alternate locations. A total of five holes reached the targeted older material yielding samples from the Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene, although only a few meters were recovered from any one hole due to being driven away by ice. Also during the SHALDRIL II cruise, a long Holocene core was recovered from the Firth of Tay that will complement other Holocene cores of the area, including that from Maxwell Bay collected during the 2005 SHALDRIL cruise. The only SHALDRIL drilling objective that was not met was to gain a continuous sample through a thick (80-100 m) grounding zone wedge deposit. This was simply not possible due constant problem of drifting ice. However, based on the samples obtained from the overburden at other sites, there is every reason to believe this would have been technically possible.
The Future
The sea ice conditions encountered during SHALDRIL II were the worst-case scenario, thick multiyear ice drifting at rates that were unpredicted. The fact that SHALDRIL is so mobile enabled us to improvise and overcome severe sea-ice conditions and exploit alternate sites, proving the efficacy of the "drill and run" strategy. The drilling and sampling system is capable of penetrating up to 20 meters of glacial overburden and sampling older strata within 24 hours time. Core recovery in partially lithified sedimentary material is quite good (greater than 80%). The fact that success was found in more ice, and thus much shorter windows for drilling, than predicted will allow future SHALDRIL plans to be made for a much broader set of conditions. We hope that this is the beginning of a long program of drilling from icebreakers in the Antarctic.
We thank the crew of the NBP and the dedicated staffs at Raytheon Polar Services Company and Seacore for helping to make SHALDRIL possible.

Live blog of orders and opinions | May 19, 2014
Good morning and welcome to the live blog, sponsored by Bloomberg Law. Thanks for joining us. We will be getting started momentarily.
Good morning, everyone! We're glad to be back after last week's hiatus. Thanks for joining us.
Is there any possibility for the Mayorkas vs Cuellar De Osorio case's decision to be issued today?
To answer the question below, we don't know what cases we will be getting today; all we know is that we are getting one or more argued cases. The Mayorkas decision is certainly a possibility, as it was argued in December.
Do you think SCOTUS has been holding off on Ryan v. Hurles because they figured there were still rulings below to be made?
@oxwof: That seems like a distinct possibility given what we know now. This refers to the new Ninth Circuit opinion in Ryan v. Hurles, which had been relisted since September.
We are expecting orders at 9:30. As you hopefully have seen on John Elwood's Relist Watch feature, for the last couple of months the Court has relisted all of the cases that it eventually grants at least once. So here is a link to the most recent edition of Relist Watch in case you want to take a quick peek: www.scotusblog.com
Sorry -- not sure why the whole link didn't publish: www.scotusblog.com
Weird quirk, I guess.
How many cases remain undecided?
The link is still correct and you get to the Relist Watch page.
Will also be interested to see what, if anything, the Court does in the Elmbrook School District case, which was on hold pending the decision in Town of Greece.
Here's Lyle.
We have one grant today. It's the air marshal case, Dept. of Homeland Security v. MacLean.
There is one CVSG: OBB Personenverkehr AG v. Sachs.
Our case page for MacLean is here.
They apparently did not act on Elmbrook School District v. Doe, involving the propriety of holding a public school function in a church building.
And here is our page for Sachs.
DHS v. MacLean was, of course, relisted once before it was granted.
The full order list is here.
The Court denied the Georgia death penalty case, Sears v. Chatman, that was relisted last week.
And by last week I of course mean last Conference.
I am a politics student from the UK- who is my last year of 'highschool'- and am using this blog (and SCOTUS blog as a whole) to learn recent cases about the US Supreme Court. Amy, can you explicitly/ in detail explain to me the ruling of Town of Greece v. Galloway?
Thankful that you get to call that Sachs and not Personenverkerkereeeaer
Surely we can expect Canning today, not?
The Court did not act on the bevy of Confrontation Clause cases that it had on the Conference last Friday; presumably (and we will know for sure later on today) they will be relisted.
By now can we expect that Bond is either a reversal or that there are seven separate opinions?
Any best guess as to who is writing Bond?
Great sketch on the homepage today from Art Lien.
Just to recap the state of play, Bond is the only remaining case from the November sitting. From December we have Michigan v. Bay Mills and Mayorkas v. Cuellar de Osorio, an immigration case.
Amy, is there any chance you have the Confrontation Clause cases you just referred to compiled somewhere (or know the names off the top of your head)?
From January, the Court has yet to decide Noel Canning, Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison, McCullen v. Coakley, Petrella v. MGM, Harris v. Quinn, and Abramski v. US. So there's lots of potential for today.
Do you expect an April case to de announced by last week of the term or postponed until October?
Last day of term is usually when? last week in June? No firm date though?
Also, are retirements announcements usually last sitting day or any time really?
If a cert. petition from the May 15 conference doesn't appear on today's order list will it be relisted for another conference? I'm curious about Darryl Tate v. Louisiana, 13-8915.
The Court also dismissed as moot today the cert. petition of death row inmate Jose Villegas, presumably because he was executed last month. Four Justices voted to stay Villegas's execution on April 16, but the Court's practice is that you need five votes for a stay. By tradition, a fifth Justice will provide the final "courtesy" vote for a stay if four Justices vote not merely for a stay but to grant cert.
One box of opinions today.
Waiting for Lyle . . .
One box means that we are probably not getting a ton of opinions today.
The only opinion is Petrella v. MGM, reversed by a vote of 6-3.
We will have more details shortly. Justice Ginsburg wrote. Laches cannot be invoked as a bar to Petrella's pursuit of a claim for damages brought within the three-year window specified by the statute.
Ninth Circuit is reversed. Breyer dissents, joined by Roberts and Kennedy.
Here is our page for this case. Ronald Mann will be covering the opinion for us.
This was the dispute over the rights to the movie Raging Bull.
The Court has now begun admitting lawyers to the Supreme Court bar, which means that we won't have anything further today.
Next Monday is Memorial Day, so we expect to have orders and (presumably) opinions on Tuesday morning instead. We will let you know as soon as we confirm whether there will be opinions. Until then, have a great week, and thanks so much for joining us!
Here is the opinion.
