The best way Sencha could service its customers who prefer to work in Visual Studio would be to provide an intellisense plugin or other tools to aid with the development of Ext in Visual studio, not another language.
9 Oct 2012 1:45 AM #22
TypeScript is not another language, it's a superset of JavaScript. You can write pure JavaScript code in TypeScript. You don't have to use any of the features. You can use any existing JavaScript library in TypeScript without any modification.
But if you provide a TypeScript definition file for that library you get additional benefits such as type checking and IntelliSense. And even if you have a TypeScript definition file for a library you still can write pure JavaScript code and get most of the benefits.
That's why I think it's a pretty good concept.
9 Oct 2012 6:43 AM #23
What I (an I believe what the other posters) are getting at is that if you provide typescript definitions of the ExtJs objects it will provide intellisense in visual studio for people writing typescript or javascript... that's the point.
So it should just be a matter of taking the Ext Code and using the annotations to generate typescript.
9 Oct 2012 7:20 AM #24
I understand that Typescript can read the JS grammar and that the use of Typescript does not necessitate the use of Typescript features. My point, which I tried to hit on in my last post, was that it is not the best solution to the problem. A side-effect, if you will, of using Typescript is that it provides intellisense support. It seems to me that most people here are wanting it for that side-effect. If that is the main goal, why wouldn't we want Sencha to provide a tool specifically for that purpose, rather than trying to take advantage of a third party tool that wouldn't be as robust as one made specifically for that reason? And if Typescript is being used, then there are all the other typescript features that people may (again I understand it is not required) try to use and Sencha now has to support those as well, further complicating the process. It would be very sensible to start declaring types for variables while using Typescript, but now we have another step of compilation. Other Typescript features, may not be a good idea to use with Ext. The process needs to be as simple as possible and preferably independent of third party tools.
Just my opinion...
10 Oct 2012 3:18 AM #25
The existence and popularity of tech like GWT does demonstrate some big hitters want a safer solution to JS development. That's something I concur with. TS is just a better, lighter solution to the same problem.
It's not a question of 'learning to use javascript right'. If you mistype a property or config field you are relying on unit testing to discover that. Compile time checking (with no runtime overhead) is, in my opinion, an much better solution.
10 Oct 2012 10:49 AM #26
Great discussion. For those who wants to know more about TypeScript, I highly recommend Anders Hejlsbergs talk on this topic at last weeks GOTO-con in Aarhus, Denmark:
I support the idea of extracting static type declarations from Ext JS for use with TS, but as others here have pointed out, the class system already present in Ext JS is somewhat different from the typed classes of TS. Using TypeScript with Ext JS as it is now, would simply be redundant regarding classes. I guess we'll have to wait and see whether TS is going to get widely adopted, before vendors that use their own JS class systems will migrate to TS.
10 Oct 2012 11:53 PM #27
(1) can be done via doc comments (in fact this is already the best practice for ExtJS code). (2) can be done by analyzing the most common patterns of declaring types. Javascript lacks a standardized way for declaring the shape of a type, but it doesn't seem impossible to me that you pick a subset of prototype function object mechanisms and only recognize those. Developers would have to change their habits somewhat, but it seems that all of the benefits of TypeScript can be realized by agreeing on a way to declare and annotate types using standard javascript semantics.
Admittedly the TypeScript syntax is nicer, but then the ES6 syntax is nicer as well. ES6 is the way forward, TypeScript seems like a detour.

TBH - I dont mind just trying it out and seeing how we get on..
My code is up @ githib if anyone wants to try it..
If you can come up with the patterns for what needs to be generated - I'm happy to give it a go..
If it proves useless - we wont have wasted much time.
If it proves useful - so much the better..
Either way - I think its worth a punt..

Here is my vote for ExtJS TypeScript definition files!
Here is my vote for ExtJS TypeScript definition files!
I can't understand why sencha is not interested in providing TypeScript definition files. It is just a definition file. They have nothing to change in ExtJS framework. For me ExtJS will be much more attractive if it will support TypeScript. Btw. jQuery, etc. already have TypeScript definition available.

Vt. Senate supports board: No pets in hair salonsThe Associated Press | April 30,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Senate has gone on record supporting a state board's ruling that pets don't belong in barber shops and beauty parlors.
In a 14-13 vote, the Senate defeated an amendment by Democratic Sen. Richard Sears of Bennington that would have allowed animals in commercial hair-cutting establishments.
Sears says he pushed for the measure after an inspector for the state Board of Cosmetology cited Bennington-area businesses for allowing pets on the premises.
The measure failed after Sen. Anthony Pollina of Washington County argued that regulatory boards should be allowed to make such decisions without interference by lawmakers.
An exception is made for service animals like seeing-eye dogs, which are allowed in commercial establishments under the Americans With Disabilities Act.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Security Inside Out: Where to Start?
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Nov 26, 2013
Guest article written by Eric Maurice, Director for Oracle Software Security Assurance.
In my current role, I assist with the definition and communication of many Oracle security policies as they apply to the development of our products as well as how we look at security internally for the protection of our corporate systems and the systems we host on behalf of our customers. Since Oracle runs its business on Oracle products, our security organizations have developed extensive expertise in how to secure our products "across the stack" and in various deployment scenarios. I often interact with customers to answer security questions related to our products (e.g., questions around Oracle's secure development and vulnerability handling practices) and security processes (e.g., questions related to how we handle security patching and define and enforce secure configurations).
In addition, I am periodically engaged in more general discussions with customers in regards to how to best strategically approach security in their organizations. These conversations are usually prompted by failed security audits of some systems, change in IT management in the organization (new IT managers or CISO), launch of major IT projects, or suspicions and sometimes evidence of a past security incident. In such instances, a renewed focus on securing the organization can quickly become overwhelming. There are many IT frameworks intended to help organizations tackle security policies such as COBIT and ISO/IEC 27000. However, what IT professionals more often need in these instances is to adopt a security philosophy, and to switch to a new perspective on IT operations. Only then can they fully leverage the various frameworks available to them, as opposed to blindly engaging in a security documentation exercise that has little practical value for the organization besides generating healthy profits for outside auditors and pen testers.
So where do you start? What intellectual process must you follow to take a fresh look at your organization's security posture? In my opinion, the first challenge is to come to the realization that your organization needs to "get back to the basics." What are your top 10 business-critical systems (or mission-critical systems)? What components of your IT infrastructure comprise these business-critical systems? What does it mean if any one of them is compromised or unavailable? What are the top threats in your environment? In my experience, many organizations' IT investments or security policies are not intended to address the top threats that affect their business critical systems. Are yours? Do you actually invest your time and security resources to address significant threats to your business-critical systems? The ugly truth that we all have to come to term with is that unless you have an unlimited IT budget or a very small IT environment to manage (and no operational needs to ever change it), you cannot afford to strongly secure all your systems equally well all the time.
The second challenge with taking a fresh look at your organization's security posture is thinking multidimensionally. Security does not exist in a silo, even though most large organizations where specialization is required have such IT silos. Are DBA's aware of existing network security access controls around the databases they manage? Do they understand the security model of the applications? Do application managers and users understand database security models? Have system security configurations been developed collaboratively between the different IT staffs? Do systems administrators understand the chain of trust that exists between the different systems they manage? This is where the traditional concept of "security-in-depth" comes to play. Has the organization implemented complementary (and not necessarily redundant) security controls across the technology stack in the enterprise? For example, application bypass attacks can be prevented by strong database access control security policies. OS access control policies should be enforced so that privileges around system files as well as against relevant database and application files (and log files), and resources on all servers in the environment are tightly controlled. At a network level, network access control policies should be set so as to limit, as much as possible, connections of database servers with their respective application servers. Note, however, that network access control policies should not prevent customers from implementing valid node-checking in their databases.
On a related topic, native network encryption and SSL/TLS and strong authentication services (Kerberos, PKI, and RADIUS) no longer require a separate license and are available in all licensed editions of all supported releases of the Oracle database. Database customers should take advantage of this licensing change to enable network encryption and, if possible, strong authentication. A similar hardening approach should be used between applications servers and web servers when the applications are exposed to the Internet. Tightly controlling subnets around critical systems and controlling how systems can connect with each other bring organizations a long way toward maintaining a good security posture.
Multidimensional thinking should not be limited to technical issues affecting the IT environment. Multidimensional security thinking should also apply to the organization overall. For example, the human factor remains one of the weakest links from a security perspective. Organizations generally train staff about what constitute good passwords, but do they sensitize staff to social engineering issues? Ongoing security training for all staff is necessary for the organization in the same way that firewalls and traditional security technologies are required.
So where do you start when you need to reassess the security posture of the organization? Start with the basics: know your systems and who uses them. Try to think like a hacker and question closely-held assumptions and technical silos: malicious hackers will not feel bound by technical diagrams and organizational expectations of how systems will be accessed. By all means, take advantage of the various security methodologies and frameworks, but do not get caught exclusively in a policy documentation or audit exercise. Periodically assess your security readiness, and when appropriate do selective pen-testing (keeping in mind that demonstrating how to break a window does not necessarily help you safeguard the entire house). Understand the security assurance practices of your strategic vendors as they will have great impact on the security posture of the organization. And of course, keep up with releases and Oracle's Critical Patch Updates. Obsolete and unsupported versions, regardless of their initial vendors, can become ticking time bombs, as security patches become no longer available, but exploits for these systems become widely known (and scripted into hacking tools).

New Database Threats Require New Innovations in Security
By Naresh Persaud-Oracle on Oct 06, 2013
If you attended Open World this year, you learned about the advances in Database 12c. As we collect more data and store our data in remote locations and the cloud, 12c restores control with advances to secure your data at the source. At the Chief Security Officer Summit at Leaders Circle, Vipin Samar discussed the changes in the security landscape that are forcing companies to re-examine how data is secured. The recent APT1 report by Mandiant highlights exactly how pervasive the threats are across every industry.
While the report covers the exploits of a specific government, the techniques being used are similar across the board. A recent report by the Ponemon Insitute noted that 43% of the most serious attacks are SQL injection attacks. The statistic implies that organizations are not as prepared to secure databases and that our most valuable data actually resides in our databases.
It seems almost every report on the state of IT security mentions database security. As an example, the PWC Global State of Information Security report provides a survey by region of database encryption. In North America alone, 53% of companies don't encrypt databases. Despite the threats, organizations are not fully responding.
The slides below provide a perspective on how a comprehensive approach to database security can set the foundation for preventing some of the most advanced threats. With Database Security 12c, there are several advances that organizations will want to focus on:
- Database Redaction - learn more here.
- Privilege Analysis - learn more here.
- Audit Vault Firewall - learn more here.
- More about security in 12c here.

Plug into Defense-in-Depth with Oracle Database 12c
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Aug 06, 2013
Designed for the Cloud, the new multitenant architecture of Oracle Database 12c now enables customers to greatly simplify and accelerate database consolidation by enabling the management of hundreds of databases as one. To protect the unprecedented amounts of data customers will store within their databases, Oracle Database 12c also introduces more security capabilities than any previous Oracle Database release.
"Oracle Database 12c represents a complete shift in database technology. With the growing amount of stored data, these new multitenant databases will be targeted by both hackers and insiders, and scrutinized by auditors more than ever," says Vipin Samar, vice president, database security product development, Oracle. "It's imperative that customers take advantage of the new security capabilities in Oracle Database 12c to protect their data and database infrastructure."
Key new capabilities to help customers mitigate risks and address compliance requirements include:
Data Redaction. Part of Oracle Advanced Security, Data Redaction complements transparent data encryption (TDE) by ensuring sensitive data is not exposed to users of current applications. While TDE protects information from database bypass attacks at the operating system level, Data Redaction conditionally redacts sensitive data in the outgoing result set by replacing original data with **** or any other fixed or random string of choice based upon the customer requirements. Data is redacted based on simple declarative policies that take into account rich database session context such as IP address, program name, and application user. The original data remains unaltered along with existing operational procedures.
Privilege Analysis. Part of Oracle Database Vault, Privilege Analysis can harden database access by identifying users' or applications' unused privileges and roles based upon the actual roles and privileges used at runtime on production servers. Typically over time, applications and users amass powerful privileges and roles that may no longer be necessary. Finding the set of used roles and privileges is important because it helps identify the minimal set required and allows unused privileges to be revoked, reducing the attack surface.
Database Vault also enables customers to realize the full potential of Oracle Database 12c multitenant-based consolidation by preventing common database administrators from accessing application data stored in a pluggable database. With three distinct separation-of-duty controls, Database Vault is critical to regulatory compliance in multitenant environments.
Conditional Auditing. Oracle Database 12c introduces a new auditing framework that creates audit records based on the context of the database session. For example, an audit policy can be defined to audit all SQL statements unless they are coming from the application server's IP address and with the given program name. Out-of-policy connections can be fully audited while no audit data will be generated for others, enabling highly selective and effective auditing.
New roles have been introduced for managing audit data and audit policies inside the database. Audit data integrity is further protected by restricting management to the built-in audit data management package, preventing audit trail tampering using ad hoc SQL commands. Multiple audit statements can be grouped together for easier management. Three default audit policies are configured and shipped out of the box.
Additionally, Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall now supports Oracle Database 12c, and can be used to collect, consolidate, alert and report on audit data from Oracle and non-Oracle databases and operating systems. Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall can also monitor Oracle Database 12c SQL activity over the network, blocking any unauthorized activity such as SQL injection attacks, or insider abuse.
Sensitive Data Discovery and Management. Locating and cataloging sensitive data is more critical than ever. Oracle Enterprise Manager Data Discovery and Modeling (DDM) and Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) facilitate the process of locating sensitive data within an application and applying security controls on that data. In addition, the new Oracle Database 12c Transparent Sensitive Data Protection (TSDP) can load sensitive information from Oracle Enterprise Manager Data Discovery and Modeling into the Oracle database and apply security controls such as Data Redaction. This greatly reduces the operational burden of managing sensitive data consistently in Oracle Database 12c environments.
Real Application Security. Oracle Database 12c introduces the next generation authorization framework to support the increased application security requirements in multitenant environments. Unlike the traditional Oracle VPD, Oracle Database 12c Real Application Security (RAS) provides a declarative model that allows developers to define the data security policy based on application users, roles and privileges within the Oracle Database. This new RAS-based paradigm is more secure, scalable, and cost effective.
In addition to these critical new capabilities, Oracle Database 12c greatly strengthens the overall database security posture with new Oracle Database Vault realm controls, Oracle Advanced Security TDE key management, Oracle Enterprise Manager Security Console, and more.
All the security capabilities available in Oracle Database 12c are compatible with the new multitenant architecture in Oracle Database 12c. As a result, customers can quickly and efficiently address the unique security requirements of each pluggable database. The security policies move with the pluggable database when it is unplugged from one and plugged into a new Oracle Database 12c multitenant server.

Comprehensive Database Security Defense-in-Depth
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Jun 05, 2013
Recent successful cyber attacks against some of the most security savvy organizations have put into question IT Security strategies across all industries. The reliance on network security and user credentials have left many institutions vulnerable to attacks by insiders, outsiders exploiting stolen credentials, and SQL injection attacks. Additionally, the pervasive use of production data in non-production environments means that attackers can focus their efforts on a development or test server. Analysts estimate that less than 20% of IT Security plans address database security.
When Oracle talks about having a comprehensive database strategy, it includes defense-in-depth security controls that protect multiple layers in and around the database environment.
- Preventive controls are those that are intended to avoid an incident from occurring
- Detective controls help identify an incident's activities and potentially an intruder
- Administrative controls are the tools that help with the process and procedures associated with database security

Database Insider Newsletter, August: Oracle Data Masking Strengthens Security of Oracle E-Business Suite Data
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Aug 07, 2012
The August edition of Database Insider highlights new Oracle E-Business Suite templates for Oracle Data Masking:
To more easily and effectively protect sensitive data in nonproduction environments, Oracle has released the new Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3 template for data masking. The latest release is part of a suite of products designed specifically to protect sensitive data in Oracle E-Business Suite environments, including Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Database Vault, Oracle Audit Vault, and Oracle Database Firewall.
"It's important to protect sensitive production data, especially when copying to nonproduction environments for testing, QA, development, or offshoring and outsourcing purposes," explains Willie Hardie, vice president, Oracle Database Product Marketing. "However, manually masking data in enterprise application databases can be time-consuming, and if not done correctly, easily prone to error. Masking data must maintain referential integrity so that applications can continue to function properly without exposing sensitive data."

Lockdown Your Database Security
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Jul 09, 2012
A new article in Oracle Magazine outlines a comprehensive defense-in-depth approach for appropriate and effective database protection. There are multiple ways attackers can disrupt the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data and therefore, putting in place layers of defense is the best measure to protect your sensitive customer and corporate data.
"In most organizations, two-thirds of sensitive and regulated data resides in databases," points out Vipin Samar, vice president of database security technologies at Oracle. "Unless the databases are protected using a multilayered security architecture, that data is at risk to be read or changed by administrators of the operating system, databases, or network, or hackers who use stolen passwords to pose as administrators. Further, hackers can exploit legitimate access to the database by using SQL injection attacks from the Web. Organizations need to mitigate all types of risks and craft a security architecture that protects their assets from attacks coming from different sources."

Formulate a Database Security Strategy
By Troy Kitch-Oracle on Feb 14, 2012
Although most organizations are taking stronger measures to protect their data, significant gaps still exist at the very core — their databases. Many don't have a comprehensive database security strategy to defend against sophisticated attacks, track sensitive data, or even meet emerging regulatory requirements. In addition, organizations tend to focus on detective controls rather than preventive measures when it comes to database security.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the Agriculture Department say the government's own data show that
American Indian farmers lost hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of loan discrimination at the agency.
The plaintiffs' attorneys were slated to discuss specifics at a news conference Wednesday in Washington. Their estimate was developed by an economist hired as an expert witness.
The case, which could start trial later this year, was filed in 1999 by Indian farmers and ranchers who say USDA offices tried to squeeze them out of business by denying them loans that instead went to whites.

Police recover stolen itemsDecember 11,2012MONTPELIER Vermont State Police say a search of a stolen car being used by a fugitive helped recover items stolen in Vermont and New Hampshire in recent months.
Police say 28-year-old Michael Hoehl repainted a stolen car four or five times so police wouldnt recognize the vehicle, allegedly stolen from Rivendell High School in Orford, N.H., in October.
He was arrested Tuesday after police spotted the vehicle in Newbury. Troopers allegedly chased Hoehl into the woods and he displayed a handgun, but he was apprehended without injury.
The Burlington Free Press reported that when police searched the vehicle they found, among other items, GPS units, a radar detector, assorted professional sports collector cards, tools, a pocket watch, foreign currency, an antique chalice and a model of a 1955-era vehicle.MORE IN This Just In

Released: Jul 01st, 2003
Running Time: 102
Director: Michael Lucas
Company: Lucas Entertainment
Cast: Antonio Vela, Carlos Aguirre, Mario Ortiz, Michael Lucas, Polo McCabe, Damion, Rick Gonzales, David (II), Jony Kfir, Danny Hunter
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Classy cover-art is a tip-off to the hot sex inside.
Beautifully shot bitch-fights and butch fucks in a Manhattan building. To stop Lucas complaining about neighbor Vela's noisy group sex, his lover Aguirre offers succulent asshole. But once Lucas comes a couple of times, he's bitching again. He circulates a petition to evict Vela, but new residents Damion and Gonzales enjoy the action and won't sign. They break-in their new sofa with a nasty flip-flop fuck. Vela and his guests Rochelle and Ortiz make suck-fucking grunts. Lucas' rage escalates. A final moaning foursome makes him decide to move. New tenants Danny and Kfir fit right in. Danny sucks himself and then fucks Kfir silly, making noises nobody minds. Director Lucas casts handsome, masculine guys, and has a good touch both with leisurely marital sex and groaning gang-bangs. A four-man butt-sucking circle of Vela, Gonzales, McCabe, and David, shot from above, is especially striking. Keep watching after "The End" for amusing outtakes during credits.

Program information
This installation features a selection of one hundred examples of important boxes, caskets, and small chests from the Museum's Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts. For centuries, boxes, caskets, cabinets, and chests played an important role in everyday life. Ranging from strongboxes to travel cases and from containers for tea or tobacco to those for the storage of toiletries or silverware, these lidded pieces were made in a large variety of shapes and sizes, and of many different materials. The form and decoration of these objects not only reflect changes in social customs and manners but also follow the stylistic developments in Europe over four hundred years. Pieces made of tortoiseshell, carved and veneered wood, porcelain, hard stones and natural substances, embroidery, various metals, leather, enamel, pastiglia, and straw are included. These objects, some of which have not been on display for years, were much more than mere containers and often became precious works of art, collected in their own right.

In this study different conventional individual protection devices, well-qualified for submicron particles were tested for different types of polydispersed nanoaerosols of TiO2, Pt, and graphite. The electrical mobility diameters of the generated particles are ranging from 9 to 19 nm for Pt, 9 to 90 nm for TiO2, and 15 to 90 nm for graphite. Toward this purpose, two specific test benches were used: one for the filter-based devices which are tested under a controlled air flow, and the other one for protective clothing and gloves under diffusion and without air flow. Different types of nanoaerosols, such as TiO2, Pt, and graphite, were generated. Electrostatic and HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filters have shown the highest efficiency for graphite nanoparticles. The main hypothesis for explaining this effect is that electrostatic forces could enhance the graphite nanoparticles capture. Air-tight fabrics made of non-woven textile seem much more efficient in protecting workers against Pt, and TiO2 nanoparticles than cotton and polypropylene. With regard to protective clothing, no obvious effect linked to the aerosol type was observed. Gloves are found very efficient for TiO2 and Pt nanoaerosols. Therefore, no effect of aerosol on the protection efficiency of gloves was evidenced.

The Climate at Art Basel Miami Beach: Warm, Not Hot
Steve Tisch, film producer and New York Giants chairman, moved briskly through the booths at the private opening of Art Basel Miami Beach, a broad smile on his face.
"That's very pretty, that's very pretty," he said earlier this week, pausing in front of a Louise Lawler photograph of Gerhard Richter's painting, "Mustang Squadron." "I have this thing about fighter planes from that period."
Mr. Tisch wasn't the only one in a buying mood. The nation's largest and pre-eminent contemporary-art fair, celebrating its 10th edition, showed strong sales this week, building on the successful fall contemporary-art auctions in New York. But many buyers, dealers said, seemed less impulsive in their decisions than in the past.
Among the notable sales: two paintings, one listed by Van de Weghe Gallery for $3 million, by Germany's Mr. Richter, whose sales made headlines at the fall auctions. An Andreas Gursky photograph of Palm Jumeirah, the artificial archipelago in Dubai, was listed by Gagosian for $606,000 and sold.
Hauser & Wirth sold all three editions of a pink silicone sculpture by Los Angeles artist Paul McCarthy called "White Snow Dwarf (Bashful)," at $950,000 each.
Sean Combs, the rapper, producer and entrepreneur who goes by the stage name Diddy, bought a neon piece by Britain's Tracey Emin, who also does installations, drawings and many other types of art. Sold by Lehmann Maupin for about $71,000, Ms. Emin's piece forms the words "I Listen to the Ocean and All I Hear Is You" in neon.
As for Mr. Tisch, a board member for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, he asked the Metro Pictures gallery to place the Lawler photo on hold after snapping a picture of it with his BlackBerry. Then he was off to find more art and the two advisers who were aiding in the search.
By the end of the day, Mr. Tisch had settled on four pieces, spending nearly $200,000. The Lawler photo—price tag: $40,000—made the list. On Friday, he was still considering a work priced at $300,000, a small Richard Prince joke painting—a series that includes the texts of jokes.
The fair's organizers expected 46,000 visitors this year, the same figure as last year. The number of galleries, 262, was also about the same.
Beyond the Miami Beach Convention Center, satellite fairs were also busy. Miami's first auction house, Nader's, launched by gallery owner Gary Nader, called its first run Thursday night a success. Heading to a new home: Pablo Picasso's "Bust of a Woman," a 1953 oil, for $3 million. It had been priced at $3.5 million to $4.5 million.

This year's Art Basel Miami Beach is the contemporary-art fair's 10th edition. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said this was the fair's 10th anniversary.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
The reaction to DC Comics' announcement yesterday that it was shutting down its manga imprint, CMX, ranged from dismissal to dismay. "Does manga not make money anymore?" thundered Rich Johnston at Bleeding Cool, conveniently ignoring the fact that Naruto has topped the graphic novel charts in the U.S. for years. Johnston lists the last round of books that CMX will publish as well as a rather tantalizing list of books that will not see the light of day, at least not anytime soon.
Longtime watchers of the manga scene placed the blame squarely on DC, which hired good people (director of manga Asako Suzuki and editor-in-chief Jim Chadwick) and let them license good manga (Emma, Astral Project), then allowed the books to die with poor distribution and zero publicity. David Welsh, who blogs as The Manga Curmudgeon, summed up the situation nicely:
Back in the days when Paul Levitz was in charge, you could make bank that he would barely mention DC's manga imprint during his nine-part year-end interviews with ICv2. When they launched the Minx imprint, Karen Berger acted over and over again like DC was inventing comics for teen-aged girls, resolutely ignoring the manga market until enough people asked "What the hell is she talking about?" And even when forced to admit that there were all kinds of comics for teen-aged girls, she never noted the fact that her employer published some of them.
Welsh's theory is that ignorance was bliss—no one at DC realized that CMX existed, so no one knew to shut them down.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the whole debacle is that the day before the announcement CMX had updated their website with new title that had bloggers really excited, including 51 Ways to Save Her. "I thought CMX was really starting to pick up more attention from manga readers– not the mainstream, but more the alt-comics crowd, where before it was frequently either neglected or disdained for its treatment of Oh Great!'s Tenjho Tenge manga," said Gia Manry at Anime Briefs. Manry was not impressed that Megatokyo is being saved, although she held out hope that some titles like Crayon Shinchan (itself a license rescue from the long defunct Comics One) would be picked up by other publishers.
Over at my own blog, MangaBlog, commenters are in mourning for CMX with similar expressions of dismay for series they will never see or finish. "I know their books sold like complete crap, but they were awesome books, dammit," said translator and critic Lianne Sentar. "They're backed by Time Warner! Why can't Time Warner just shovel money at them indefinitely?! Whoever managed to mask their horrid sales from DC for this long could've just continued to do so forever, right?" But Seven Seas editor Adam Arnold noted, "CMX will have officially been around for 6 whole years come the end of June, so I'd say DC more than gave CMX a fair shot at life. More than most imprints, even." It's a fair point: They only gave Minx two years, and then killed it just as their strongest set of books was released.
One of the interesting thing about CMX was that many of their early licenses were of classic or oddball manga that didn't necessarily appeal to mainstream tastes. Melinda Beasi salutes them for having the courage to publish the crack-tastic Moon Child:
It was a revelation. It was as though someone had rifled through the leftovers of my rusty, once-teenaged mind, delighted in the sci-fi-laced weirdness it found there and said, "I'll do you one better!" That a series like this existed at all was enough for me to revel in, but the fact that someone had translated it into English? That was like a real-life gift from an imaginary deity.
Sean Gaffney, who often looks at the Japanese side of things, points out that this will be a blow to Hakusensha, the Japanese publisher from whom CMX licensed many of their titles.
May has been a tough month for manga, with the death of CMX following the slow disappearance of Go! Comi and Viz's layoff of up to 60 staffers. David Welsh actually speculated that all the other bad news gave DC cover for the move—look, all these other companies are suffering, so it's reasonable for us to fold up as well. But even in these dark days, Kate Dacey surveys the manga scene as a whole and finds reason for hope: Yen Press remains strong, Vertical is expanding its manga offerings, Tokyopop has rebounded from its 2008 restructuring, and indy publishers such as Top Shelf and Fantagraphics are starting to include manga in their mix. The manga scene is changing, but it is far from defunct.
"conveniently ignoring the fact that Naruto has topped the graphic novel charts in the U.S. for years. "
Nonsense. I know Americans aren't meant to be able to get irony, but come on that's ridiculous.
It's a ludicrous statement intended to be ludicrous. Yes Naruto is booming, so is Fruit Baskets and others. So why has Viz had to fire 40%?
The answer is incompetence.
How much of DC's neglect of CMX might have been due to the titles' foreign origins? However good one thinks CMX's titles might have been, producing and promoting them were nothing like the production and promotion processes for DC's domestic comics. It would have been easy for DC staffers to resent the existence of the division and to bristle whenever they saw comments to the effect that manga was so much better than all that superhero junk, or to dislike the thought that there was little to no overlap between DC's and CMX's readership.
I doubt that anyone at DC who worked on their superhero comics took pride in publishing manga.
The same could be said for their brief foray into Euro comics with their Metabarons licence. The most memorable of those titles was TechnoPriests, which was even more insane than anything Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, and Shintaro Kago combined could've imagined together. The fact this didn't sell in the Direct Market means that people are more attuned to S-hero comics, and completely ignore anything that doesn't fit their worldview, which has become increasingly negative, which is odd considering the nature of S-hero comics.
Also, MegaTokyo being the lone surviving title is no great relief. It's changed companies how many times now? And the series has suffered from the story in the later years to the point that I've completely lost interest in it. That it continues to gather up offers is impressive, considering their audience must've moved on to other stuff by now. It's the Watchmen fallacy all over again – it shouldn't be picking up new readers, but it's not doing bad in sales either. Where are all these new customers for this series coming from? As far as I can see, it's most admirable trait is that the character designs are of superior quality, on par from Oh My Goddess!, but that's all.
I've often made comments that the "Big Two" were increasingly ignorant of the REAL Big Two, Viz & Tokyopop. That might change, since Tokyopop hasn't had a breakout hit on par with Fruits Basket for a long time. They may now be replaced by Yen Press whose books have been on the best-seller lists as often as Viz has.
The ironic thing is, if any of CMX's titles became snatched up by another publisher, they could see potentially better sales in their new home than they ever would at DC's, which could be another proverbal nail in their coffin. Of course, they'd have to be willing to take the risk in the first place…
The ONLY manga titles I reread and take almost OCD care of are from CMX with only ONE exception from, ironically, Go Comi……..Death to all piraters that brought this about!!! ~weeps inconsolably over the loss of 'I Hate You More Than Anyone'

mih jeans
Jessica Biel in MiH Ellsworth in Blue Salt
Jessica Biel was photographed after arriving from a flight at LAX. I feel like the paparazzi must camp out at certain areas of the airport since we see a lot of photos of celebs coming down these stairs!
Jessica wore a pair of MiH's Ellsworth High Rise Skinny jeans in Blue Salt with a black leather jacket and a white tank. I love the way that she styled these. I think that patterned jeans almost always look best when everything else in the outfit is really simple. These have a subtle brushstroke pattern which I think is highlighted nicely by her white tank.

Sarah Jessica Parker in MiH Bonn Jeans in Pollock
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted dropping her daughters off at school in New York a couple of weeks back. The actress wore a pair of MiH Bonn Jeans in Pollock with a printed striped top. Sarah Jessica just cannot do wrong. She is mixing prints here, but they work so well.
Did any of you miss Sarah Jessica's look at the MET Gala? It is definitely one you should check out. I just love that she went for it with the outfit and had a Vivienne Westwood vibe going on (she wore Giles, Phillip Treacy, and Louboutin). I honestly think no one can outdo her at this moment when it comes to full-on high fashion looks. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the MiH website for $233.
January Jones in MiH Jeans
January Jones took some time out for herself, with a shopping trip to Chanel and a healthy takeout meal from M Cafe in Los Angeles, California.
She wore a pair of MiH Jeans for the day with a red and white striped shirt and white lace ups. We often spot January in a lot of different brands, but I like how she channeled the red, white and blue look here with the MiH Jeans! Buy MiH online at Shopbop.com.

Sarah Jessica Parker in MiH Breathless Jeans in J Street
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen out with her twin girls, but enjoying a scooter ride on the weekend instead of on the school run, in New York City.
Sarah wore a pair of MiH Breathless skinny jeans in J Street with their classic love white t-shirt, a long coat and some white heeled sneakers. She seems to be such a fan of MiH and they definitely suit her style! I have always loved this pair since seeing them at the press day last year! Buy these jeans on sale at Shopbop.com.

Like the House GOP bill, the emerging Senate measure — though not finalized — would reopen the government through Jan. 15 and permit the Treasury to borrow normally until early to mid-February, easing dual crises that have sapped confidence in the economy and taken a sledgehammer to the GOP's poll numbers.
"There are productive negotiations going on with the Republican leader," Reid said as he opened the Senate Tuesday. "I'm confident we'll be able to reach a comprehensive agreement this week in time to avert a catastrophic default."
On Wall Street, stocks were down slightly at midday, as early optimism over a quick deal faded.
The competing House and Senate plans are a far cry from the assault on "Obamacare" that tea party Republicans originally demanded as a condition for a short-term funding bill to keep the government fully operational. It lacks the budget cuts demanded by Republicans in exchange for increasing the government's $16.7 trillion borrowing cap.
Neither the House or Senate frameworks contain any of a secondary set of House GOP demands, like a one-year delay in the health law's mandate that individuals buy insurance.
Another difference between the Democrats and Republicans involves a Democratic move to repeal a $63 fee that companies must pay for each person they cover under the big health care overhaul beginning in 2014. Unions oppose the fee and Senate Democrats are pressing to repeal it, but House Republicans are positioning to block them and Senate Republicans are adamantly opposed as well.
Democrats were standing against a GOP-backed proposal to suspend a medical device tax that was enacted as part of the health care law, but might not be able to win a floor vote since many Democrats oppose the tax too.
Democratic and Republican aides described the outlines of the potential agreement on condition of anonymity because the discussions were ongoing.
But with GOP poll numbers plummeting and the country growing weary of a shutdown entering its third week, Senate Republicans in particular were eager to end the shutdown — and avoid an even greater crisis if the government were to default later this month.
"We're willing to get the government open. We want to get the government open," Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said. "Hopefully they get something done that addresses the spending issue."
In addition to approving legislation to fund the government until late this year and avert a possible debt crisis later this week or month, the potential pact would set up broader budget negotiations between the GOP-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate. One goal of those talks would be to ease automatic spending cuts that began in March and could deepen in January, when about $20 billion in further cuts are set to slam the Pentagon.
Associated Press writers Donna Cassata, David Espo, Henry C. Jackson, Julie Pace and Alan Fram contributed to this report.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A lawsuit filed against William Meehan claims he submitted a dissertation that was copied in part from another professor's work around the time he became JSU president in 1999.
An Associated Press review found similarities between the two papers, and an expert hired by a JSU professor suing Meehan over
another issue concluded his dissertation was plagiarism.
Meehan said through a university spokesman there was "no
substance" to the charges, and University of Alabama officials
found no reason to take any action.
Reports in 2007 revealed that newspaper columns appearing under
Meehan's name were lifted off Internet sites. The school said the
columns were ghostwritten by a former university publicist.

(Photo credit: Idris Erba/Mayweather Promotions) After his last fight against Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31 KOs), WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr (46-0, 26 KOs) is coming into his rematch with the Argentinian wary of the tricks that he might try and pull on him in their rematch on September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mayweather stopped Maidana from using the gloves that he wanted for their previous fight, as Mayweather found the padding around the knuckle portion of the gloves to be too thin. While the gloves weighed the regulation amount for the fight, but the distribution of the padding in the gloves is what Mayweather objected to. Maidana still wants to be able to use that type of gloves for the rematch despite the fact that Mayweather already said no to them in the past.
Mayweather said, "First they [Team Maidana] want to use gloves with no padding, and then they want to use knees, elbows and everything else. My back is always against the wall with Team Maidana."
The referee that worked their previous fight, Tony Weeks, will not be working their rematch after Mayweather requested that he not get a second shot to work the fight. Mayweather was upset that Weeks failed to deduct points from Maidana for the fouling that he did in their fight, and he wants to make sure that doesn't happen a second time.
Maidana doesn't have the hand speed or boxing skills for him to get in the center of the ring and beat Mayweather in a boxing match. He's got to apply pressure on him, rough him up, and try to get him into a situation where he's trapped against the ropes and taking punishment like what happened the last time. Maidana says he wants to relax more when he's in that situation because he was too nervous and trying too hard when he had Mayweather trapped. This time he plans on taking his time, picking his shots, and looking for the perfect moment to connect with his punches.
"[Miguel] Cotto is a solid competitor but we saw what happened to him against Floyd Mayweather. When he fought me, they said he was washed up. Then, he fights again and wins, and apparently, he has been resurrected. Same with [Juan Manuel] Marquez."
Mayweather doesn't like the fact that fighters are considered to be washed up after he beats them, but then later on down the line, they suddenly look good when they beat someone that was perceived to be good. Mayweather doesn't ever get the credit for beating these guys until long after he's done it.
"There's always testing. I'm the face of boxing and I want to clean the sport up," Mayweather said.

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- A year ago, Brad Keselowski's run in the Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway had a feel-good quality to it. Having grown up two hours from the track, the Michigan native was getting a chance to prove himself with JR Motorsports, and that gave fans a reason to care.
Now those fans -- and any he's added as a full-time driver for JR Motorsports this season -- have a much greater rooting interest, as Keselowski's in position to make a run for the series championship. Sure, it'll take some work, but after turning what started as a limited opportunity into the chance of a lifetime, ruling Keselowski out could be a mistake.
Entering Saturday's Carfax 250 (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2 and ESPN 360), Keselowski finds himself 128 points out of the lead with 11 races remaining. Tracking down a seasoned veteran such as Clint Bowyer won't be easy, but Keselowski appears undaunted -- saying he's extremely happy to be sitting in second, with defending champion Carl Edwards in third, 175 points back.
"We've got our eyes on the prize of getting to the top spot, and that's what we want to do. We want to run for the championship and contend for it. I think we can do that," Keselowski said. "We've got to start plugging away and get 15-20 points a race to have a shot at Clint in the final 10 races.
"We're going to have to dig hard. I think we've been running well enough on the mile-and-a-half tracks to certainly gain some ground there. We need to execute on those tracks and improve our short-track program to make it happen."
Keselowski thinks things started heading in the right direction at Lowe's Motor Speedway in May and continued through Gateway before he struggled at O'Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis. Road-course racing is hardly his forte, but he persevered and now hopes to get back on track with ovals making up the rest of the schedule.
A tough race or two for Bowyer would make things easier, but even if that doesn't happen, Keselowski knows it's far too early to be ruled out.
"I was reading something the other day about Alan Kulwicki when he won his [Cup] championship in 1992. He wrecked out at Dover with six races to go and he was about 280 points behind and came back to win the championship," Keselowski said. "So being only 128 behind Clint is not the end of the world. We need to race to win, and if we can win some races, we can close that gap really quickly."
In three Nationwide Series races at the 2-mile oval in Michigan's Irish Hills, Bowyer has finishes of 30th, 12th and 10th. The good news is that he has improved each season, but cracking the top 10 is this weekend's goal.
"Michigan hasn't been one of my best tracks, but I think we've got a lot better of a car now than we did when we raced there last year," Bowyer said. "We've given up some points over the last few weeks so we need to get back to business and work on padding our points lead."
Bowyer has also struggled in Sprint Cup Series races at Michigan, as he's never finished higher than 16th in five career Cup starts, though a late-race engine failure in August 2006 robbed him of a top-5 finish. Since then, though, he's struggled in his last three Cup starts.
For whatever reason, it's simply a track he hasn't adapted to.
"Typically, on a big track like Michigan or Atlanta, where you can move around and carry a lot of speed, we usually run well," Bowyer said. "I like tracks like Michigan where you can mix it up and pass on the top or the bottom and try different things, but for some reason we haven't been able to find the right balance or the right level of grip to run well."
Bowyer admits past frustrations get in a driver's head, but said he approaches each race as a new opportunity.
Even though he doesn't have nearly the experience that Bowyer does at MIS, Keselowski knows the track presents its share of challenges.
I like tracks like Michigan where you can mix it up and pass on the top or the bottom and try different things, but for some reason we haven't been able to find the right balance or the right level of grip to run well.
-- Clint Bowyer
"Michigan is a track where you never know exactly what you're going to get with it. It seems like whenever you work on handling then you need power and need to take drag out of your car," Keselowski said. "Then you work on drag and you need handling. You work on both of those and get both right and it ends up being a gas-mileage race.
"You're never sure exactly how that race is going to play out, which makes it challenging. It's a driver's racetrack because you can move around on it -- it's nice and wide. In the Nationwide car, it's a really big drafting track. With the tapered-spacer package we've got we'll really draft well there. You'll probably see speeds pick up in the race, maybe even over qualifying."
A strong finish would mean a lot to Keselowski, who grew up watching father Bob and uncle Ron Keselowski drive at the track.
"Michigan is important to me. I remember being really young and watching my dad win an ARCA race there [in 1992] and thinking about how cool that was," Brad Keselowski said. "Now I'm starting to get to the point where I'm starting to get some recognition from my friends and family for what I do, and it'd be really cool to get a win in front of them."
Especially since a win would move Keselowski a little closer to Bowyer in the points race heading into the year's final 10 races.

AbstractKBSI proposes to develop a novel methodology and supporting technology to facilitate the verification, validation and quantitative assessment of DoDAF models for systems specification and subsystem integration using mixed-mode (discrete and continuous) simulation techniques. Currently, there exists a modeling gap between the DoDAF architectural specification and the mixed-mode simulation-based representations. We propose to bridge this gap by developing an intermediary mixed-mode Simulation-based Executable Language based on Bond Graphs, Hybrid Bond graphs and Colored Petri Nets. These representations will then be used along with a set of user-specified execution goals to generate a mixed-mode simulation model that can be targeted to different mixed-mode simulation engines. Additionally, the representation will be amenable to the use of rule-based and automated reasoning techniques for qualitative verification and validation. We will elaborately document the Mixed-mode Simulation-based Executable Architectures (MiMoSEA) methodology for model developers, strategic military analysts and systems analysts to develop, modify, validate, and publish DoDAF-based architectures that are quantifiably verifiable and validated and hence useful in DoD systems procurements.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Could Impatience Be Raising Your Blood Pressure?
In this article
Study Finds Hostility, Impatience Increase Hypertension Risk
Impatience and hostility -- two hallmarks of the "type A" behavior pattern -- increase young adults' long-term risk of developing high blood pressure, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers also found that as impatience and hostility increased, so did the risk of high blood pressure. However, other psychological and social factors, such as competitiveness, depression, and anxiety did not increase hypertension risk.

Understanding High Blood Pressure -- Symptoms
In the vast majority of cases, there are no clear symptoms of high blood pressure (also known as hypertension), which can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure and eye problems if untreated. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. This is especially important if you have a close relative who has high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is extremely high, there may be certain symptoms to look out for, including: ...
Read the Understanding High Blood Pressure -- Symptoms article > >
The research was conducted by scientists at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
This was the first prospective study to examine, as a group, the effects of key type A behaviors, depression, and anxiety on the long-term risk for high blood pressure. Earlier studies had mostly looked at individual psychological and social behaviors and found conflicting results.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease, kidney disease, and congestive heart failure, and is the chief risk factor for stroke. Normal blood pressure is a systolic (top number) of less than 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and a diastolic (bottom number) of less than 80 mm Hg; high blood pressure is a systolic of 140 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic of 90 mm Hg or higher. Numbers in between are referred to as "pre-hypertension" and are associated with an intermediate risk of complications related to high blood pressure.
About 50 million Americans -- one in four adults -- have high blood pressure and prevalence increases sharply with age: The condition affects about 3% of those ages 18-24 and about 70% of those 75 and older.
"Although high blood pressure is less common among young adults, young adulthood and early middle age is a critical period for the development of hypertension and other risk factors for heart disease," said lead author Dr. Lijing L. Yan, Research Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University. "Previous research on young adults is limited, and our study helps to fill that gap."
