LightCyber Updates Platform to Enhance User Behavioral Analytics
Security specialist LightCyber released its Magma platform 3.1, which offers enhanced user and entity behavioral analytics capabilities.Any given attacker can choose from multiple attack vectors to breach an organization, and that is why threat detection technology needs to look at multiple layers. Security vendor LightCyber today expanded its behavioral attack detection capabilities with the announcement of its Magna platform 3.1. "With this new release, we actually converge profiling context for the behavior of users, devices and the network," Gonen Fink, CEO of LightCyber, told eWEEK. LightCyber, founded in 2011, is a privately held security vendor with offices in Israel and the United States, and is positioning itself as an active-breach detection technology vendor. LightCyber's flagship Magna platform was updated to version 3.0 in May 2015, providing a network-to-process (N2PA) technology that connects network traffic to endpoint processes in order to help detect and remediate breaches. "The primary thing we're adding with the Magna 3.1 release is user context that is richer than previous versions," Fink said.
The idea of understanding and profiling user behavior in order to improve security is often referred to as user behavior analytics.

Satellite Lyrics
Artist: Elton John
Album: Ice On Fire
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Well you come on like a comet, ideas in your head
Starving for affection, waiting to be fed
Crazy like a full moon, eyes open wide
Taking in everything you need to stay alive
Who leads who, who knows where
If you leave me now will I see you again
I'm telling you love bites
Like a satellite
Going round and round
It's something, something you can't fight
Oh in the daylight
And even in the dark night
I want you to surround me
Surround me like a satellite
Oh you move like a shadow of your own design
Do you want to trap me in between the lines
I don't walk on water if you think I can
If you want a miracle call up a Superman
Are we there
Is this love
Is this a space race
That we're both part of

Melody, Mother would split the pod in half and remove any remaining seed.
She painted the outside of the pod in whatever color matched the scheme she
was going after. Some of the prettiest were golds or greens. She painted
the interior of the pod with white glue and shook in glitter. When that all
dried, she would use jewelry findings and/or the teeniest ornamental figures
(deer, a caroler, a Santa, snow men, stars, a tiny nativity, etc.) and glue
that to the back of the interior of the pod--all this before glue guns were
invented, LOL! [One could us blue glitter as a background for silver stars
or with a small crystal dangling from the top of the pod. Your imagination
is the only limit.] She ran gold braid (very thin) or some other thin trim
glued along the edges to make it look gilded, with a loop of the trim above
the top edge of the pod large enough to hang the ornament. She sometimes
put puffs of cotton on the interior to mimic clouds or snow banks, too.
These days, I believe you could paint the interior with a color and use one
of the translucent glitters for more color variations. The down side? The
ones mother made me only lasted 20 years. They just don't last forever. :>)
Happy creations!

Picture this...September, 1978...you're walking toward the castle and you hear live jazz coming from the Plaza Gardens. You reach the bandstand area and it's Count Basie! How cool is that? Just check him out on the ivories, while Freddie Greene plays guitar. The Count and his orchestra played from 8:30pm until after midnight; time to get the other half and go dancing at Disneyland.
Here's the brochure that tells you what other entertainment is going on at the park at the same time:
Going back in time another three years, we could have seen Stan Kenton in the same location, May 1975:
Stan should have fired the publicity agent that let this photo get out; even in these pre-photoshop days, there were plenty of things that could have been done to make Stan look less like an escapee from the Haunted Mansion cemetery:
Here's the entertainment brochure from May 1975; be sure to check out this lineup, including the legendary Sara Vaughan. Does Disneyland have this caliber of entertainment play inside the park anymore?

The film debut of director and screenplay writer Anthony Minghella - who won the best director Oscar for The English Patient in 1997 - could not have been better.
In 1991, former Hull University lecturer Minghella wrote and directed the tear-jerker Truly, Madly, Deeply, starring Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson.
The slightly quirky love/ghost story put him on the map and won him a Bafta and a Writers' Guild of Great Britain trophy, which were followed by several other major awards.
In 1993 he directed his second film, Mr Wonderful, with Matt Dillon and Mary Louise Parker.
He went on to direct hugely successful films such as The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) and Cold Mountain (2003), as well as recently completing the The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency.
Born of Italian parents at Ryde, Isle of Wight, in 1954, Minghella did not go into the family ice cream-making business. Instead he pursued an academic career.
Like other successful modern writers, he cut his teeth on the early episodes of the BBC1 children's programme Grange Hill.
He also regularly contributed to the ITV Inspector Morse series and won the 1984 London Theatre Critics' most promising playwright title.
While studying English and Drama at Hull university, Minghella met the TV playwright Alan Plater who encouraged him to write.
He began his writing career in the theatre and radio.
His 1981 play Whale Music was a success, and was followed up by a West End transfer of Made in Bangkok, a farce about the sex trade in Thailand.
Made in Bangkok won the London Theatre Critics Award for Best New Play in 1986.
Cigarettes and Chocolate won a Giles Cooper Award for best radio play in 1987.
As well as Inspector Morse, Minghella's TV work included nine episodes of the series The Storyteller for Jim Henson.
In 1997, The English Patient won nine Academy Awards, including best director for Minghella.
The film, starring Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas, is today remembered as a classic.
The movie, telling the story of an intense love affair, was based on Michael Ondaatje's celebrated novel, set at the close of the Second World War.
Mr Wonderful (1993), Minghella's first Hollywood production and his follow-up to Truly, Madly, Deeply, had been a disappointing experience for its director.
After making the film, starring Matt Dillon, Minghella had become disillusioned with major-studio filmmaking.
In 2003, Cold Mountain, starring Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger and Jude Law, was nominated for seven Oscars, and won a best supporting actress gong for Zellweger.
In 2005, Minghella made his opera debut directing an acclaimed production of Madame Butterfly for the English National Opera.
The production, choreographed by Minghella's wife Carolyn Choa, returned to the ENO earlier this year.
In 2006, Minghella directed and wrote the film Breaking and Entering, also starring Law.
It was his first self-penned script since Truly Madly Deeply, and was set in modern London "within the two pages on the A-Z where I live and work", Minghella said.
"The idea behind Breaking and Entering was to return to what I set out to do in the first place, which was make small films as a writer director that I'd created, rather than adapted from novels," he said at the time.
Minghella was also directing The Ninth Life of Louis Drax (2008), and a segment of New York, I Love You, an anthology film joining several love stories with different directors.
Minghella's last completed work was an adaptation of The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency, based on the book by Alexander McCall Smith.
The film will be broadcast on BBC1 on Sunday.
Minghella directed the drama for the BBC and HBO, and adapted the book with Richard Curtis.
He recently announced he was stepping down as head of the British Film Institute (BFI) after five years to focus on his work behind the camera.
He recently said: "I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not.
"I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
"It is as if I have been working in a tunnel and I've no idea what the reaction is going to be.
"It is a naked thing to admit, but I feel very strongly that I want people to appreciate that I am not just a flash in the pan."
Minghella was awarded a CBE in 2001 and had two children with Choa, son Max and daughter Hannah.
At the Oscars, The English Patient's nine awards eclipsed the achievement of Lord Attenborough's epic 1982 film Gandhi which scooped eight Oscars.
Minghella's victory owed as much to persistence and stubbornness as it did to his powerful creative vision.
He refused to bow to several Hollywood studios who wanted US stars in the lead roles.
The £20 million film nearly did not get made when its financing collapsed.
Producer Saul Zaentz saved the movie with US money and Kristin Scott Thomas and Ralph Fiennes stayed in the picture.Reuse content

In another story JT reports 1.5 million cars exported to the USA. If Japan would stop giving away its future in donations in the form of foreign aid to countries like NK and China, the budget would be balanced.
Decent and Detailed Description for Dismal Data.
There is no question in my mind that global economy can't rise from stagnation at this level of oil prices, but the group of Corruption / Greed holds back renewable energy growth.
We continue to notice oil prices suppress and dampen economic jump-start, as we know, oil & coal businesses have taken reign of U.S Congress, just the way health insurance industry has done, As a consequence, the ongoing economic troubles seem to come down only to the other cause, specifically speaking, the financial stability (I guess it is not a root cause, but a phenomenon).
The group of corruption / Greed dislikes the righteous changes due to vast amount of subsidies and profits, nevertheless, the global economic structure might be equal to the Internet system, so I suppose the collapse of mainstreet leads to the fall of all classes.
Again, we are obligated to develop alternative energy, or the bridge to future, for both us and our lovely generations so that we, the current & future generations, can survive together.

Blood pressure is the force with which blood pushes on the walls of the arteries as it moves around the body.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as two figures, one on top of the other, for example 120/80mmHg. The top figure is called the systolic blood pressure and this is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is contracting. The bottom figure is called diastolic blood pressure and this is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest, between beats.
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is classified as a systolic pressure of 140mmHg or above and a diastolic pressure of 90mmHg or above (140/90mmHg). The risk of developing high blood pressure increases with age and in the UK about half of people aged 75 or over have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a risk factor in the development of many serious conditions such as stroke, heart disease and kidney disease.

The development of a bioengineered heparin from a non-animal source is in response to a health crisis that took place in early 2008. This crisis involved the introduction of an oversulfated chondroitin sulfate into heparin produced from hogs in China leading to the death of nearly 100 Americans. Recent research in our laboratories suggests that it is now possible to prepare a bioengineered heparin from non-animal sources using fermentation combined with chemoenzymatic methods. The proposed 5-year project is a translational and multi-disciplinary research effort involving the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of North Carolina and Albany College of Pharmacy, aimed at producing kilogram quantities of non-animal sourced bioengineered heparin. By controlling the process steps this bioengineered heparin will be prepared with a structure identical to the pharmaceutical heparin prepared from animals. Both chemical and bioequivalence studies will provide the necessary pre-clinical data required to carry bioengineered heparin forward as a generic heparin. The results of this 5-year translational bioengineering research project will be the synthesis of 1 kilogram of non-animal sourced heparin, which serves as a well defined deliverable that is chemically and biologically equivalent to USP heparin. A second well-defined deliverable will be an optimized and cost effective process that can be used ultimately to generate bioengineered, non-animal heparin at scales sufficient to satisfy the therapeutic needs in the US. This material and the accompanying process will be made available to both large and small business partners interested in moving this bioengineered heparin into human clinical trails as a novel and safer replacement for animal sourced heparin. We hypothesize that application of recombinantly-expressed biosynthetic enzymes in a well controlled process can afford a bioengineered heparin that is the generic equivalent of USP heparin. Furthermore, we envision that this bioengineered heparin will be safer for patients and can be prepared at costs competitive to heparin obtained from animal tissues. There are four specific aims of this proposal. 1. Optimize the production of bioengineered heparin;2. Confirm chemical equivalence of bioengineered heparin with USP heparin;3. Confirm bioequivalence of bioengineered heparin with USP heparin;and 4. Scale-up and produce a kilogram of bioengineered heparin while maintaining chemical and bioequivalence.
The proposed effort impacts human health by developing a process to prepare a bioengineered heparin that is chemically and biologically equivalent to pharmaceutical heparin currently prepared from pig intestine. This process will improve the safety and uniformity of heparin and prevent future contamination or adulteration of this important drug that is administered to several hundred thousand patients each day in the US.

The Thing About Things
You could argue that AV professionals were there at the dawn of the Internet of Things (IoT). To hear it told, the phrase used to describe a bunch of networked objects, devices, and sensors, was first coined around 1999. But it was about two years earlier, just as one example, that Crestron used Ethernet to connect control systems to AV equipment and enable a new level of systems management and insight. Think of all the projectors, displays, touchpanels, DSPs and other gear that came with LAN ports. What were they if not things that could connect over the Internet?Read more

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
How The Voting Rights Act, Now In Danger, Came To Pass And Shaped History
"I said it was worse than the Thaddeus Stevens legislation during Reconstruction, sir, and it is," said Leander Perez, a pro-segregation Louisianan, at a subsequent Senate hearing. "It is the most nefarious -- it is inconceivable that Americans would do that to Americans."
Despite its intensity, the opposition failed. The Voting Rights Act overwhelmingly passed Congress that summer and was signed into law by Johnson on Aug. 6, 1965. A key part of the law, Section 5, required a slew of state and local governments with a history of voter discrimination to receive preclearance from the Justice Department before changing their voting laws. Today it is widely credited for helping minority voters participate equally in elections. The law played a key role in ending voter suppression tactics such as literacy tests and poll taxes.
South Carolina soon led a legal challenge to key portions of the law, including Section 5. Recourse was sought directly from the Supreme Court, bypassing the lower federal courts. The Supreme Court accepted the case.
"Congress has attempted to suspend South Carolina's literacy requirement regardless of race," read the state's brief. "Under the Act, at the Defendant's direction, both white and Negro illiterates are now being registered to vote. Race, under the Act's suspension, is not a factor. The Act absolutely grants the right to all illiterates in South Carolina to participate in her elections."
The solicitor general who defended the law on behalf of the federal government was Thurgood Marshall. Some dozen years earlier Marshall, as chief counsel of the NAACP, had argued and won the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school segregation case. A year after defending the Voting Rights Act, Johnson would name Marshall to the Supreme Court, making him the nation's first black justice.
"In these states, there has been a policy of overt or covert obstruction with respect to the enforcement of the 15th Amendment [which prohibits voter discrimination]," Marshall said during the 1966 oral argument before the Supreme Court, referring to the states covered by the Section 5 preclearance provision. "Moreover, as a matter of common sense and reasoned judgment, it would be extreme optimism or naivete to assume that in states where there has been long enduring policies of racial discrimination, that even well disposed officials could assure the fair administration of such tests on a local level."
The legal challenge to the Voting Rights Act in South Carolina v. Katzenbach failed, 8-1. The court proceeded to reaffirm the validity of the law three more times -- in 1973, 1980 and 1999. Meanwhile, Congress repeatedly reauthorized it, with Section 5 intact, most recently in in 2006, for a period of 25 additional years.
That monument of history faces its toughest test yet next Wednesday in the Supreme Court.
Lawyers for Alabama's Shelby County will argue for invalidating Section 5 before the most conservative bench since the law passed. Five justices have signaled their misgivings with that provision, notably Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2009 when the high court ruled in favor of a Texas jurisdiction seeking an exemption from preclearance.
The challengers today concede that the Voting Rights Act was necessary at the time to rectify the scourge of racism in voting laws. But they argue that the preclearance requirement has worked so well it now discriminates against the mostly southern regions that are covered.
"There should be no question that this is constitutional, and the fact that this idea [that it might be overturned] has been raised is a reflection that we have a very ideological court," said Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society, a liberal law and public policy group which supports the Voting Rights Act. "I'm hoping wiser heads prevail and the Court recognizes that it needs to be deferential to Congress' actions."

The use of trained artificial neural networks (ANNs) for agricultural processing, handling, and process control, such as pattern recognition, classification and weight prediction, offers potential for multi-dimensional function fittings and enhanced accuracy in machine-vision based procedures. In this study, optimization of ANNs for machine vision based applications for better prediction accuracy has been conducted using soybean weighing as an example. Neural network systems consisting of a varying number of neurons trained under dissimilar algorithms were compared in determining the weights of soybeans based on the correlation of weight to features extracted from one- and two-direction images. Results show that imaging from the side of a soybean produces superior data to that of top-down images, and that with a properly trained neural network, weight predictions could be accurate up to a relative error of less than three percent. Furthermore, the continuous dependence of weight to features of the soybean suggested use of a training batch consisting of uniformly distributed weights.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you'll read next?
My answers:
What are you currently reading? I'm trying to read "Jesus: A Theography" by Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola. But, I am finding it dry, and therefore making excuses for other things to do than read. Maybe I need to set it aside and choose something lighter, for now — go back to this one at another time. We'll see.
What did you recently finish reading? I finished "Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse" by Gregory L. Jantz, the other day. A good book for those who aren't necessarily physically abused, but are being brought down by words or even silence.
What do you think you'll read next? I'm not sure, honestly. I'm waiting for my new book to come in the mail — "When God Writes Your Love Story" by Eric & Leslie Ludy. But, in the meantime, I think I want something light and fluffy. Just not sure which book to pick.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own WWW Wednesdays post, or share your answers in a comment here (if you don't have a blog). Thanks!

The CFD works like a charm...our rescue mini aussie was not a natural swimmer and did not particulary like the water. With the CFD we take him Hobie kayaking now and he enjoys being out on the water a lot more. He had his first swim yesterday and floated along the top with the PFD. I think it will last for years.
Follow the NRS sizing charts, they are ACCURATE.

1. Doubt there is enough flotation should your dog be stuck in a class 3 hole or hold him/her in a class 3 rapid. So if your dog can swim in a lake why buy this?
2. Design needs improvement. Although easy to put on & adjust, the vest rode either to the left or right, not the center of the dog's back. Needs strap from neck to chest.

There is a sizing chart on the website, included below. Measure around the
dogs chest from back to breast bone, this will give you the chest size. In
my opinion this is the most telling attribute because if the CFD does not
fit, not much else matters, but do take weight into considerations. Best
of luck.

Q:Do you sell extenders for the adjustable straps on the vest?Asked on 6/3/2015 by Laura from Bonita Springs, FL
1 answer
A:Laura, we don't sell extenders. However, we do carry replacement belly straps. If you already have the CFD, you know what that means. If you don't, look at the side view photo of just the vest. The strap has the male buckle piece on one end, the wide belly pad and a ladder-lock device on the other end. It would be pretty easy to cut the unit down to extend the existing straps. They're not online but are under Item # 40021.01, cost $2.50 each. You'll need to order them by the CFD size, to be sure you get the buckle right.

Q:When fitting the pfd for swimming, how snug should it be? And if it rises off the dog's back?Asked on 4/26/2015 by wifi from Almería Spain
3 answers
A:Just like a human PFD, a dog PFD should be snug. If it's not on tightly,
the PFD will float, but the dog's body will be underwater. That said, I
think the front attachment is most important because it keeps the dog's
head up. The hind leg attachment isn't as vital.Answered on 4/26/2015 by Anonymous
A:The adjustment is very easy and secure. There are two straps around the torso and one around the neck. When fitted properly it should not lift off the back, and will not cone off the neck. However, proper sizing and fitting are required for your pets safety, and the performance of any PFD.
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 4/26/2015 by Anonymous
A:Just as with a PFD for humans, the CFD should fit snug. You want it to mold to the body so that the flotation helps lift the dog higher in the water. Experiment with the adjustment to be sure it is snug, without being so tight that it hurts your dog.Answered on 4/26/2015 by Clyde from NRS

Q:Does 6.4 lbs under flotation on the specs sheet refer to the weight of the vest? Seems heavy for a vest but not sure what it means.Asked on 6/27/2014 by Ken yellow lab guy from West vancouver bc
4 answers
A:Ken, all life jacket flotation specs refer to the weight of water displaced by the jacket's foam. Since most human adults only need 7-12 pounds of additional flotation to keep their heads above water, 6.4 pounds is pretty hefty for that size dog.Answered on 6/28/2014 by Clyde from NRS
A:That cant be right. I would recommend the vest however. Works well
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S®4Answered on 6/27/2014 by Anonymous

Q:So question. I have a large dog, a very large dog. Her chest fits the size of th XL. But I worry about weight. I see the XL is for over 80lbs, my dog is 138 lbs, would this jacket still work for her?Asked on 3/16/2014 by Akasha from Vancouver BC
4 answers
A:as long as your dogs chest size is in the xl range it should fit. the
chest is the largest part on a dog.Answered on 3/18/2014 by Anonymous
A:It will not provide as much flotation for a 138 pound dog as it would for
an 80 pound dog, but it will still give the dog some flotation. In my
opinion it would definitely be better than no jacket at all.Answered on 3/19/2014 by Anonymous
A:The jacket will supply some flotation, but may not be enough to keep her safe. Most dogs can swim but when they get tired or injured the jacket can help keep their heads above the water. If you take you dog into a situation where she may be in the water for a long time I would try to find a way of adding more flotation. Hope this helps.Answered on 3/16/2014 by Anonymous
A:Good question. The CFD offers supplemental flotation and may not totally support your 138 pound partner. Just like humans, how well a dog floats depends on their physiology. Muscular bodies don't float as well as those with more fatty tissue. If she's a strong swimmer and won't be out for extended time in aerated whitewater (which provides less buoyancy) it would probably be okay. If not, I think I'd worry about her safety.Answered on 3/17/2014 by Clyde from NRS

A:It sounds like the x small is as close as you can get.Answered on 2/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:Claudia, looks like the XS will be the best fit for your dog. Dogs are like us humans - we may all be the same species, but we have widely varying dimensions. The chest straps are the main cinching fit adjustment for the CFD. While the neck strap is adjustable, for most dogs it won't give a snug fit; its primary function is to prevent the jacket from rotating on the body.Answered on 2/25/2014 by Clyde from NRS

product. You could always order one XS and one S.Answered on 7/21/2013 by Anonymous
I have a 19 lb Havanese, & ordered according to the sizing chart for his weight, which is an XS. I've had it for about 4 yrs, and love it! He is not a swimmer, but is wild about kayaking, gets very excited when we rig to go out, and loves to see me get his jacket out. It is very adjustable across the chest & with 2 straps under the belly. I love the "handle" on the back, which makes it easy to grab him in case he slips, and for a quick dunk when he gets hot. You won't regret this purchase!

UPD residency rules
Posted in the Utica Forum
#1 May 19, 2010
Does anyone know how this works? If say...a UPD officer of 10 years who sells his home and purchases a home in a neighboring town as a principal residence- and does actually move in, is this allowed?
#2 May 19, 2010
NOTE: The Utica City Charter, Section 2.045 requires except as otherwise provided by law, a residency
requirement for all prospective officers and employees of the city including members of the police force.
Every person initially employed by the City, shall as a qualification of employment, become a resident of the
City within six (6) months of the date of initial service for the City. During an employees time of service, no
such employee shall cease to be a resident of the City.
#3 May 19, 2010
Must be a loophole. I know of one that lived out of district, divorced, moved back to the city, bought a new home out of the city and lives there now. Is this allowed?
#4 May 19, 2010
I know of one who just purchased a home in Whitesboro! hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

There is no loophole in a City Charter that the voters voted on. Residency is a clearly defined law that is enforceable. Yes there are many who flaunt any law until caught. tighter controls must be in place to assure the will of the people who voted for such laws are enforced.
#6 May 19, 2010
I cannot see how this can be enforced. Are u gonna live in the area for 10 yrs, it goes down the drain & you're expected to stay? I don't think so.
#7 May 19, 2010
Exactly! Each administration continues to coddle the local special interest.
#8 May 19, 2010
I don't think the police should live where they work. It was dumb that they had the residents of Utica vote on that, of COURSE they want the police to live in their city, they will feel "safer". But when it comes down to helping the police when something happens, that won't happen. Utica is getting nasty, and the police deal with enough crap during the day, just to go back home and have it surround them. There was one officer who had a drug dealer move in right accross the street.

heres how it works. mind your own business
#12 May 20, 2010
People should mind their own business when the Police are breaking the law? If you or anyone on the Police force disagrees with the law, then they should petition to have it changed. Otherwise, until that happens, they have a duty to "honor" that law and all others. But I guess I'm just some nutjob for thinking that, right? As for feeling bad for any cop or city employee who is required to live within the city limits, I can't do it. They sign up for it knowing the conditions, so just like everybody else in this world, they should take the good with the bad.
#13 May 20, 2010
It is our business that police officers that swore to uphold the law are knowing circumventing it for personal gain. Yes, its our business when we taxpayers believe we're paying salaries to people who are spending the money in the city to only find out the money is Not staying here.
Its simple, if you want to work for the city live in it! My question is why do we continue to overlook this requirement? I would argue, UPD isn't doing an effective job because the officers may not care enough about the place they work. The poor guy that lives here surely does.
Tell the common council to enforce the rules on the book...no exceptions! We obviously can't get it enforced by the Chief or the Mayor.
#14 May 20, 2010
Yeah? Well, what do you have to say for the Officers that signed up for it when the conditions were they didn't have to live in the city? What about the Officers that signed up for the job, who didn't have to sign a contract to stay in the city?
#15 May 20, 2010
Then their issue is with their superiors, or whoever decided to change things. Regardless of what happens, if it's a requirement, it's a requirement. If there are officers who didn't have to sign a residency contract, then it's up to "powers that be" to decide whether or not the new requirement should only apply to hires after a specific date, and if anyone who is already employed, is grandfathered in so the new requirement doesn't apply to them. Bottom line is, if the requirements change at any time and the requirements are mandatory for employment, then it's the responsibility of the officers to abide by that. The world ain't fair, I won't disagree with you on that.

so a upd member living in new hartford is breaking the law by living there? the mayor is PISSING away money ...GIVING tax payer money away and your worried about a cop who goes to work everyday and earns his $ fair and square by putting his life on the line and where he is spending his money?

why dont you explain where u work.....if you work at wal mart then u can only shop there?......the money isnt staying at wal mart if you dont
#18 May 20, 2010
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why don't the fireman fall into the same category?! It is ridiculous to force employees to live in Utica and, by doing so, you will just keep recycling people who just don't want to live there or have their children attend school there, thus paying out more money for more unnecessary academies and retraining.

#19 May 20, 2010
let people live where they want or the workers will be supporting more people on welfare
#20 May 20, 2010
lol, this is unbelievable what I'm hearing. Don't you people arrest citizens everyday for not following the rules, but you shouldn't have to? where is your integrity? Start a petition to change the rule, seek exemption from your superiors, but knowingly circumventing established law as a LE officer is unethical and wrong. Jurors around the city are asked to punish individuals based on your testimony alone and now you tell me you have no integrity? The law is you must live in the city to be paid by the taxpayer. If you don't like it educate yourself for promotion to the state or federal level.
I believe the fire dept has the same requirement minus the grandfather clause. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

Psychotic disorders in adolescents present acute and long-term challenges, including those of differential diagnosis, prognosis and treatment choices (Kafantaris et al. 1996, 1998). When lithium became widely available in the U.S., much attention was paid to differential diagnosis of mood disorders with psychotic features from schizophrenia because, for some patients, lithium was more effective than first-generation antipsychotics (Janicak et al.1992). Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) have been shown to be efficacious as monotherapy for the treatment of acute mania (Perils et al. 2006) and to increase response rates when added to a traditional mood stabilizer, including in adolescents with or without psychotic features (Del Bello et al. 2002). In a small study, adolescents who had prominent psychotic features at study entry appeared to benefit from continuing adjunctive treatment with an antipsychotic agent despite ongoing lithium treatment (Kafantaris et al. 2001a, 2001b). As many of the treatments approved for bipolar disorder now converge with those used for schizophrenia, pinpointing the exact diagnosis, particularly in adolescents, may seem less crucial and call into question whether treatment with traditional mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder with psychotic features is even necessary. Moreover, although the addition of valproate to a first-generation antipsychotic resulted in a higher acute response rate in one adult study (Muller-Oerlinghausen et all 2000), it is not known whether it is beneficial to add a traditional mood stabilizer to a SGA for acute and continuation the treatment of psychotic mania. This is an important question, particulariy for adolescents, as the treatment of an early psychotic episode has significant impact on course of illness and developmental outcome. The proposed study is a placebo-controlled, parallel group, randomized clinical trial comparing two treatment strategies in adolescents with mania and prominent psychotic features. One group will receive a SGA and placebo and the other will receive a SGA and lithium. During the acute treatment phase, the possible benefits of adding lithium to a SGA include a higher proportion of responders, shorter time to response, and potentially a lower dose of SGA. For continuation treatment, possible benefits include prophylaxis against episodes of depression. Results from this study will inform the design of a more definitive trial.
Specific aims are: 1. To assess the efficacy and safety of adjunctive lithium in the acute treatment of mania with psychotic features in adolescents. 2. To assess the efficacy and safety of adjunctive lithium in the prophylaxis against recurrence of mood episodes with psychotic features in adolescents over a six month follow-up period.

What a treasure, Jim. Where did you find this gem?
Not in the same class at all, but I recently searched for a book I
thought my youngest generation of grandchildren should have - Frank
Tashin's "The Possum That Didn't." This wonderful book had been a
favorite of my older sons. I knew it probably wasn't in print, but I was
not prepared forwhat I found. Amazon provided a source for two copies
from antique book dealers. One was priced at $295.00, and the other at
$850.00. I pulled my battered copy off the shelf and scanned it in, making
a pretty reasonable copy that the kids can play with. I wasn't about to
give them mine. Maybe I should put it in the bank. Does anyone else
remember this book?

It's not yet the tenth day of Christmas and time for lords to start leaping, but one of the great aristocrats of the internet, Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales, can be forgiven for having a spring in his step as he walks the London streets.
A decade after he founded Wikipedia, the apparently limitless trove of online information has grown to 17 million articles and attracts a monthly audience of 400 million users, making it the fifth most popular website in the world.
He is unconcerned by the extreme cold in Britain, having recently returned from a trip to Russia where he met President Dmitry Medvedev, one of the many international excursions he makes to promote and explain a project that depends on the dedication of an army of unpaid contributors. Besides, Wales needs to acclimatise to the British winter weather, intending as he does to make London his future home.
This Anglophile streak extends to a fixation with the House of Lords which, somewhat bizarrely, is identified by the Alabama-born digital media entrepreneur as the subject area he spends most time studying on Wikipedia, sometimes editing the articles himself. He has become acquainted with numerous peers including Lord Mandelson, whom he met last week.
If Wikipedia – which some estimates have valued at $5 billion - were not a non-profit venture, shunning advertisers and overseen by a charitable foundation (of which he is emeritus chairman), Wales would possess unimaginable wealth. He is making his annual appeal to Wikipedia users for added funding, this year seeking $16m, in order to maintain independence by avoiding dependence on major benefactors.
He made his own small fortune as a futures and options trader in Chicago before even dabbling in the Internet. And, having established Wikipedia with his then partner Larry Sanger on 15 January 2001, Wales has since set up a separate for-profit business, Wikia, which carries advertising and caters to more than 100,000 "wiki" groups with specialist interests ranging from The Muppet Show to the cult computer game World of Warcraft.
Speaking to The Independent at a London hotel, Wales, 44, admits that the scale of Wikipedia's growth has outstripped even his famous self-confidence. "[With] 400m people a month visiting the site it has become really a fundamental part of the information infrastructure of the world," he says.
"I didn't imagine this. It just didn't occur to me, sitting at my computer, that I would end up travelling all over the world. That bit escaped my thought process."
Before starting Wikipedia, Wales's only foreign trips had been to Canada and Mexico. Now he travels to speak at global economic events and his social network includes Bono, Richard Branson, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter.
But as he spreads his gospel internationally he must overcome an unforeseen and potentially damaging misapprehension: the comparatively common view that Wikipedia is in some way attached to WikiLeaks, the scourge of the Western establishment for its publication of millions of confidential documents, exposing diplomatic secrets and covert military operations. While Wales has been hobnobbing with British politicians in London, the WikiLeaks co-founder, Julian Assange, spent much of last week across town in Wandsworth prison fighting extradition charges over accusations of sex offences.
"The most important message... is that we have absolutely nothing to do with WikiLeaks," says Wales, who is irritated by the name of Assange's site. "What they're doing is not really a wiki. The essence of wiki is a collaborative editing process and they're just getting documents from people and releasing them. There's no collaborative editing going on. The fundamental of what they're doing is not really a wiki. It's unfortunate. I wish they were called Open Leaks."
That's not to say that, as a champion of free speech, he doesn't have some sympathy with WikiLeaks in its current position. "It's complicated. In open and free societies it's really important that people who have evidence of wrongdoing have some avenue to make that known. I think that's a good and healthy part of democracy," he says.
"At the same time I would echo some of the concerns raised by Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders, and counsel that WikiLeaks should be thoughtful and careful about the ramifications of what they're releasing and work with people to make sure that what they're doing is providing a useful public service."
Wikipedia, he has no doubt, is doing just that. The site was once widely lampooned for the untruths that resulted from allowing anyone to edit its entries. Wikipedia's own Wikipedia page contains the acknowledgement that "some media sources satirise Wikipedia's susceptibility to inserted inaccuracies". The Onion, the American satirical newspaper, once published a prominent article headlined "Wikipedia Celebrates 750 Years of American Independence".
Wales believes the quality of articles has markedly improved. This is partly due to protection measures recently introduced for the most sensitive articles (such as the biography of George W Bush), where all changes are subject to a delay so that they can be reviewed by an established Wikipedia editor. "Where we've gotten to now is fairness. We don't get these stories that we are a crazy bunch of people and it is complete garbage," says Wales, acknowledging that an institution of the scale and influence of Wikipedia is rightfully held to account. "We do get criticised where there are errors and I do think it's a valid subject, a really important subject, for broad public dialogue."
Where Wikipedia can improve, he admits, is in the diversity of its contributors. Around 100,000 volunteers are involved in editing on at least a monthly basis, allowing the site to operate with only a tiny staff of around 45. But editors are "over 80 per cent male and tech-savvy", he says, meaning that subjects such as "sociology or Elizabethan poetry" can be neglected. "Whatever 26-year-old tech geek males are interested in we do a very good job on. [But] things that are in other fields we could do with some more users participating."
So Wikipedia will begin its second decade by making it easier for less tech-minded users to edit pages. In future, users are likely to be encouraged to give ratings to the pages they read, encouraging them to be more interactive with the site.
Not that Wales wants everyone to be an editor. "We've never been about participation for participation's sake. We are trying to build an encyclopaedia." Similarly, he is unconcerned that growth in new articles on English Wikipedia appears to be slowing. "All of the easy topics have been written about years ago. But it's good to slow down a bit. It's not about rapidly creating the maximum number of pages - that's not the point. The point is to create useful pages."
His focus is moving to the east, specifically to India where in the next six months Wikipedia will open its first office outside of America, probably in Mumbai or Bangalore. Increasing the number of articles in Indian languages is "really key", he says. "We have 50,000 articles in Hindi and tens of thousands in other languages, so we already have active communities there but we are still very far behind the European languages."
There is still so much to do. Africa remains largely undocumented by the site, especially in native languages. Around 20,000 articles have been written in Swahili (and a similar number in Afrikaans) but Zulu accounts for barely 100 entries. "One of the big keys is increasing the diversity of the contributor base," says Wales. He cites a need for more contributions in Arabic but is pleased that the linguistic breadth of Wikipedia – which has 262 language editions – gives it a remarkable reach in the developing world.
Where many of the great digital media brands have lost their way – AOL, MySpace, Yahoo! – Wikipedia has maintained its relevance. According to Sergey Brin, a founder of Google, Wikipedia is "one of the greatest triumphs of the internet".
Wales does not have the same profile as some of the other great online pioneers. He has not had a Hollywood film made about him like the creator of Facebook. But as a character he is more red-blooded than other famous nerds such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. After working as a futures trader, Jimbo set up Bomis, a male-oriented dot-com business focusing on "babes" and sport. He has been married twice and has a daughter with his second wife. When he broke up with one girlfriend, Rachel Marsden, she delighted internet gossips by selling off his clothes – on eBay.
His first marriage was to the former work colleague in a grocery store who he wed when he was 20. Back then in Alabama – where he had grown up as the son of a store owner and had spent long hours poring over the Encyclopaedia Britannica – he had the ambition of being rich and living in Britain, seeing a photograph of an English castle and telling his young wife Pam: "Yeah, we're going to have that one day."
He achieved a geek's dream recently by visiting old Albion's ancient seat of governance and dining with Merlin. Awesome dude! In fact, although the Wikia empire has an entire community dedicated to the mythical wizard featured in the BBC/NBC series, the Merlin that Wales went to see was Merlin Hay, the 24th Earl of Arroll, who invited him to lunch at his beloved House of Lords. He later realised he had edited the Wikipedia page of the earl's father, Sir Rupert Iain Kaye Moncreiffe of that Ilk. A visit to the meticulously edited article reveals that "of that Ilk" is "a contraction of Moncreiffe of Moncreiffe". It is this level of factual detail that Wales likes to see in his online encyclopaedia.
It seems strange that the man behind a concept that gives everyone the chance to contribute to a unique knowledge resource should be in awe of a chamber that is still derided for being undemocratic and anachronistic.
But Wales responds by trying to draw an analogy between the internal structure of Wikipedia and the United Kingdom's system of government. He talks of the lack of a written constitution, refers to the website's highest body (its arbitration committee), and notes that "if you become an administrator in Wikipedia, you are pretty much in for life as long as you behave yourself".
Then he refers to his own role. "I'm working as hard as I can to make it as ceremonial as possible, much like in the UK... a constitutional monarch where I have certain reserved powers," he says, hinting at the egotism for which he is sometimes criticised.
Sitting here in the hotel drinking from a glass of water, he's just an ordinary looking bearded guy in an open neck shirt. He might not be quite the king of the internet but for millions of users of Wikipedia, there's something quite noble about the peer-loving Jimmy Wales.

Wikipedia is well known as a free encyclopedia, which is a type of collaborative repository system that allows the viewer to create and edit articles directly in the web browser. The weakness of the Wikipedia system is the possibility of manipulation and vandalism cannot be ruled out, so that the quality of any given Wikipedia article is not guaranteed. It is an important work to establish a quality evaluation method to help users decide how much they should trust an article in Wikipedia. In this paper we investigate the edit history of Wikipedia articles and propose a model of network structure of editors. We propose an algorithm to calculate the network structural indicator restoreratio. We use the proposed indicator combined with existing metrics to predict the quality of Wikipedia articles through support vector machine technology. The experimental results show that the proposed indicator has better performance in quality evaluation than several existing metrics.

Due soon!!!!
My mare is due this month (ran with stallion, 1st covering would make her due 20th) these pics are taken today, how long do you think she will go??
pics arnt showing up
She looks pretty darn close!! What is she and what is the stallion?
Dartmoor hill ponies....stallion was a coloured!!
Her butt is all very relaxed and squidgy, no milk dripping, just getting nervous now, only our second foal so not too good at recognising the signs, am putting her into foaling box every night now, just in case!! Do you think it'll be within next few days??
Her bags sure are full! I would say very soon :) Bet you can't wait to see if the baby has some color :)
Yes getting very excited now :D can't wait to meet the little one, her teats are pointing more away from each other today and she has milk drops but quite clear at the moment! She's tucked up again tonight in a knee deep straw bed.....just in case!!
Very Close
We have a beautiful baby girl!!
