Bruce Springsteen Debuts Short Film Online
Listen to Bruce Springsteen Radio on iHeartRadio
Bruce Springsteen stars in his new short film for his song Hunter Of Invisible Game. The ten-minute movie debuted on the rocker's website Wednesday.
In a message accompanying the film, Bruce explains that it's a collaboration with director Thom Zimny that they'd "been talking about" for "a long part of the year," and he believes it's one of their best.
The movie premiere also caps off Springsteen's latest run. He explains that the past two years have "been a life changer," and he credits the fans for helping him and his group "bring a new and revitalized E St. Band into being."
Bruce says they're now taking a break with "a sense of joy, renewed purpose and filled with the spirit to bring" their best in the future, adding that they still have "a few surprises" for their followers.

Product Bulletin
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series SSL and Content
Switching Module Bundle
For customers requiring secure content networking solutions with intelligent Web switching, a new bundle consisting of the Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Content Switching Module (CSM) is now available (Figures 1 and 2). The bundle not only provides transactional security at much lower cost but also enables deployment of content networking services, improving the overall user experience while providing security for Web-based applications. The bundle provides a single part number for both Cisco SSL and CSM modules, allowing customers to easily order a proven, secure, Web switching solution for the Catalyst 6500 Series switches.
The Cisco Content Switching Module and Secure Socket Layer Switching Module offer a high performance, integrated load balancing, and Web security solution that takes advantage of the rich Layer 2-3 features of Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series. This gives customers the flexibility of enabling any/all ports for content switching, providing scalability with investment protection for the Catalyst 6500 Series.
Some of the key benefits of the bundle include:
- As a virtue of being integrated, any port on a Cisco Catalyst switch could be enabled for secure content load balancing while offloading all encryption and decryption of content to SSL module. This is possible in the same chassis or across different chassis. There is a wide range of interfaces to choose from, ranging from DS0 to OC-48 to Gigabit Ethernet.
- SSL session "stickiness" is maintained even during renegotiation for SSL sessions as a result of Cisco CSM optimization rendered for the Cisco SSL module for the Catalyst 6500 Series.
- The selected Cisco SSL Module and the client use SSL session IDs for all the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections that make up that flow. The Cisco CSM also uses a portion of that SSL session ID to stick the selected SSL service module to that client. If a client requests a new SSL session ID from the SSL service module, the Cisco CSM is able to keep the client and the selected SSL service module "stuck" together.
- The selected Cisco SSL Module and the client use SSL session IDs for all the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections that make up that flow. The Cisco CSM also uses a portion of that SSL session ID to stick the selected SSL service module to that client. If a client requests a new SSL session ID from the SSL service module, the Cisco CSM is able to keep the client and the selected SSL service module "stuck" together.
- This bundle offers the highest performance of any secure content switching solution available in the market today. The Cisco CSM can establish up to 165,000 connections per second while maintaining one million concurrent connections. The Cisco SSL Module can establish up to 3000 new connections per second while maintaining almost 60,000 simultaneous connections. The SSL Module can support up to 300 MB of bulk encryption.
- SSL modules in the chassis can be scaled to provide higher performance and higher throughput with the help of Cisco CSM. Multiple SSL modules can be load balanced by the CSM, providing high availability and scalability.
- The bundle offers ease of management by using the same management platform (the CiscoWorks Hosting Solutions Engine) for both the CSM and SSL module.
- The bundle, when coupled with other services offered in the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series, provides a complete data-center solution for security, content networking, and switching needs for both enterprises and service providers.
- The bundle offers the adaptability and flexibility of many deployment topologies as it can be integrated into any of the Catalyst chassis ranging from 3-slot to 13-slots chassis, depending upon customer needs and traffic requirements.
Network Management
The SSL and CSM bundle can be managed using the CiscoWorks Hosting Solution Engine (HSE). The CiscoWorks HSE is a content services management appliance that enables comprehensive Layer 2-7 network monitoring, content services activation, and customized views and reports for network, server, and application administrators. When used with the bundle, the HSE provides customers with proactive Layer 4-7 e-business service monitoringensuring effective delivery of online services and efficient operations of an online site.
In addition, the CiscoWorks HSE enables site monitoring, customized views and reporting, and content services activation while offering autonomous content services management to individual business groups via a user role and domain-based access model.

Spring's Promise of Hope
Standing on my porch this morning, watching the white puffy clouds race across the blue sky, breathing in the fresh scent of spring's promise…I wanted IT. It was like waking up from a long, deep sleep to see sunshine and bright blue skies and hear the music of nature, and wanting so badly to do something!
Watching pink cherry tree petals flutter in the wind like a warm, fragrant shower of color reminds me that the fruit from those trees will be sweet and ripe, fresh for the picking and canning. I already have plans for making lots of jams and jellies to restock my depleted pantry.
The spring breeze makes me feel wild and young again. I believe in spring's promise of hope and renewal and will embrace that feeling, letting go of any lingering negativity in order to appreciate what is ahead. Now is a good time to let any anger, frustration, and discontent slip away…
Find out what you want and go for it! Don't sit around thinking and fussing. Do something your heart aches to do. Take a deep breath. Breathe in the opportunity. Get inspired. Sail on the fresh, promise-filled wind and go a little wild...let the fever take hold and whisk you off to better days ahead.

Deb - from Moline, IL
Your cake could have fallen because of the baking powder, a new can of baking powder is often stronger than an old can that has been sitting around the house for a few months. When too much baking powder is added to a recipe, the air bubbles produced by the leavening get very large very quickly, before the cake structure has developed, causing the cake to collapse. Keep in mind that the general baking powder to flour ratio is 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup flour.
To test your baking powder's effectiveness mix 1 teaspoon baking powder with 1/2 cup hot water. The baking powder should bubble immediately.

In war every able-bodied Richthofen is, of course, on active service.
Another point of interest in von Richthofen's fighting methods is that he states, that as a rule, he opens fire at 50 yards.
It is well to note how often von Richthofen refers to the wind being in his favor.
According to Richthofen the rock from which Chinese porcelain is made is not a true kaolin, but is allied to the jades.
See the summary of the data in this respect in Richthofen, China, vol.
Some others, the Dolomites for instance, have been regarded by Richthofen and other geologists as ancient coral islands.
Richthofen was buried with military honors behind the British lines.
Richthofen was one of the cleverest of the enemy aviators and in time he made his squadron a formidable aerial weapon.
Lake Agnes on the northern slope of Mt. Richthofen was formed with a rounded dome of glaciated rock remaining near the centre.
It took a large toll of our best fighters, although Richthofen's personal record of 78 victories was undoubtedly exaggerated.

Humpback whale carcass washes ashore in Florida
Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE — Researchers are testing the remains of a humpback whale that washed ashore in central Florida for contaminants.
A boater spotted the estimated 40-foot-long humpback whale carcass Wednesday in Canaveral National Seashore.
Researchers from the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute have been collecting organs and bones spread across the beach, including 18-inch-wide vertebrae. The bulk of the whale's carcass was left in a remote area to wash back out to sea.
Research assistant Teresa Mazza tells Florida Today (http://on.flatoday.com/10IUiGC ) that the whale likely died about a week ago.
Humpback whales are an endangered species. Mazza says the remains were too decomposed to help researchers determine what caused the whale's death, but she also says researchers haven't found anything unusual.
Mazza says a couple humpback whale carcasses wash ashore in central Florida each year.

WSJ editorial offered bogus defense of John Bolton
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
An April 11 Wall Street Journal editorial attacked Democrats for "reviving long-discredited accusations against" John R. Bolton, President Bush's nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, by selectively quoting from Senate hearings and reports on intelligence in order to defend Bolton.
The Journal explained that the two "principal charges" against Bolton, who is currently undersecretary of state for arms control, against charges that he tried to present an alarmist assessment of Cuba's biological weapons (BW) program and then punish an intelligence analyst who disputed his assessments, are that he "distorted intelligence information in a public speech in which he warned of a possible biological weapons effort in Cuba" and that he "intimidated intelligence officials" who expressed doubts about his claims about Cuba. But in fact, the allegation that Bolton "distorted intelligence" does not refer to his "public speech"; rather, the charges were that an early draft of his speech, circulated internally, contained unsubstantiated claims, and that Bolton tried to retaliate against the intelligence analyst who successfully altered the speech before the final draft to accurately reflect the intelligence community's view of Cuba's BW capability.
On the first charge, the Journal announced that "[i]f they had done their homework, the critics would know" that that one of Bolton's accusers, former assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research Carl Ford, used "nearly identical words" to describe Cuba's BW capability in congressional testimony two months before Bolton's speech. "If Mr. Bolton skewed the government's position on Cuba's germ-warfare effort, then Mr. Ford did too," the Journal declared.
In fact, the speech Bolton actually delivered to the conservative Heritage Foundation on May 6, 2002, was crucially different from what he proposed in the initial draft. Bolton's critics acknowledge that Bolton's final, approved language accurately represented what the intelligence community believed about Cuba because an analyst altered Bolton's text to conform to the intelligence community's accepted description of Cuba's BW capability. But in his initial draft, Bolton labeled Cuba's BW capabilities a "program," rather than an "effort," which intelligence considered a crucial distinction.
The Senate Intelligence Committee's July 2004 report on prewar intelligence on Iraq addressed the initial problems in Bolton's Heritage speech:
The [State Department intelligence] analyst said he made most of the changes to the speech because he was attempting to make the speech unclassified, not because he believed it was factually incorrect. He said that the only portion of the original speech language relating to Cuba's BW [BW] program that differed from IC [intelligence community] judgments was the use of the word "program" in the sentence, "Cuba has a developmental, offensive biological warfare program." The analyst said the IC used the term "effort" rather than "program."
Similarly, Ford himself testified at a June 5, 2002, hearing of the Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps, and Narcotics Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee -- convened primarily to address Bolton's Heritage speech -- that the intelligence community's assessment of Cuba's BW capability is properly characterized as an "effort," rather than a "program." Ford fielded questions from Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT):
FORD: The only thing that we would say differently is that I don't think that we would have to footnote to emphasize that it was an effort, not a program which I&R [Intelligence & Research] did, and I think that the rest of the community now feels as strongly as we do that the evidence will support that there is a limited BW offensive development program -- effort -- but not a program. And so that the community's view has been refined. ...
DODD: I'm told by your staff that each word is selected very carefully and debated rather extensively.
FORD: True.
DODD: Because each word is terribly important.
FORD: That's correct.
The Journal quoted a subsequent portion of Ford's testimony to prove that Ford himself did not disagree with Bolton's draft speech, but the Journal omitted a third exchange from the hearing in which Ford admitted that he was not personally aware of the details surrounding the alterations to Bolton's speech. The Journal stated:
Connecticut Democrat Christopher Dodd -- one of Mr. Bolton's fiercest critics -- asked Mr. Ford: "Did you have any disagreements with the draft [Heritage] speech?" Mr. Ford replied, "On the intelligence side, we did not. We approved it. It was the language we had provided." We trust Mr. Dodd will recall this exchange when he questions Mr. Bolton today.
But later in the same testimony, when Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) asked if it was correct that the initial draft of the speech referred to Cuba's BW "program," Ford responded, "No, sir," but immediately conceded that "the history has been told to me. I didn't live it, so I can only give you my version of it." And indeed, the Senate intelligence report contradicts Ford's secondhand account of the first draft of Bolton's speech, as noted above.
On the second charge -- that Bolton intimidated intelligence analysts who disputed his claim about Cuba -- the Senate intelligence report documents that Bolton allegedly lashed out at the intelligence analyst who altered his speech. But the Journal selectively quoted the report to claim falsely that this report "specifically clears" Bolton. The Journal noted the Senate report's finding that Bolton had "berated" the analyst, but ignored the report's additional finding that Bolton subsequently tried to have him removed. The Journal presented the fact that the analyst kept his job as "evidence" that Bolton had not engaged in intimidation. In fact, the report specifically noted that Bolton attempted to arrange the removal of the intelligence analyst who altered his Heritage draft; the analyst apparently kept his job despite Bolton's best efforts. Here's what the Journal stated:
Moreover, the Senate report specifically clears Mr. Bolton of charges relating to the Heritage speech. It quotes an unnamed analyst who said that Mr. Bolton "berated" him when he made changes to a draft of the speech. But he also said "he was not removed from his portfolio and that he did not suffer any negative effects professionally."
Here's the full relevant passage from the Senate Intelligence Committee report:
The analyst said that the Under Secretary [Bolton] had obtained a copy of his e-mail to the CIA [concerning changes to Bolton's Heritage draft] and called him in to the Under Secretary's office. The analyst said the Under Secretary "berated him," accused him of countermanding an Under Secretary and of trying to rewrite the Under Secretary's speech. The analyst said that six months after the incident, when his new office director met with the Under Secretary, the Under Secretary asked to have the analyst removed from his current worldwide chemical and biological weapons portfolio. The analyst said he was not removed from his portfolio and did not suffer any negative effects professionally, however, he was instructed by his supervisors to limit his contact with the Under Secretary's office.

Program Reviews
The Comprehensive Program Reviews on a five-year cycle (See Attachment #3) that were reviewed
this year include Accounting, Nursing, and Continuing Education. Additionally
reviews of non-instructional programs included Administrative Services, and
Student Services. In our second cycle of Program Reviews, the review
processes also include each degree program's annual program health indica
Through Executive Committee (EC) presentations by each program leader beginning in March 2005 and continuing through the summer, each of the Comprehensive and Non-Instructional Program Reviews was assessed regarding the general requirements and expectations of the Program Review process. Each of these dialogues was taped for the record and subsequent review. This included faculty and staff involvement, external input (program advisory committees), data collection, mission statement development (where they did not exist before, e.g., business office and Operations & Maintenance), analysis of accomplishments, identification of program needs and priorities, and plans for improvement.
The Accounting, Nursing, and non-instructional
Administrative Services Program Reviews were excellent and established a clear
benchmark for future program reviews. In the Administrative Services
arena, national metrics were unsuccessfully sought. UHCC System criteria
for this area are now under discussion. The Office of Continuing
Education comprehensively addressed most of its metrics. However, the EC
noted that relationships and data regarding program decisions and financial
deficits in some of the areas would benefit from additional analysis and
more assertive financial and programmatic leadership. The Student
Services program ambitiously identified the Council for the Advancement of
Standards in Higher Education as its template for criteria against which

text: Break out the big foam fingers, because we're number one! New figures released by the U.S. Border Patrol show for the first time ever, south Texas, specifically the Border Patrol's Rio Grande Valley Sector, was the single most popular entry point for illegal immigrants in 2013, muscling out the Tucson Arizona sector, which had held that dubious distinction for a decade. "It has to do with what criminologists call displacement," Shaun Moran, who is a leader of the Border Patrol Union tells 1200 WOAI News. "They will go where we are not." The Border Patrol apprehended more than 154,000 people on illegal entry charges in 2013, that is up from 87,000 in 2012. At the same time, 120,000 people were arrested for illegal entry in the Tucson sector, that is up just 1,000 people over 2012. Something else is changing about illegal immigration. For the first time since figures began being counted, Mexicans were not the most numerous illegal border crossers in 2013. The category which is called 'OTM,' or 'Other Than Mexicans' accounted for well more than half of the arrests for illegal entry last year, with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras leading the way. "We need to cut off what is drawing people here, and by and large that is jobs," Moran said. IN fact, the strengthening Mexican economy and continued violence and poverty in Central America appears to be fueling much of today's illegal immigration. Numbers of illegal immigrants coming to the U.S. from Asia are also up. "Some people describe is a whack a mole," Moran said of the changing patterns of illegal immigration. "You try to hit it where it comes up, but it is always going to come up someplace else."

Long balls lead BC to split with Lady RamsFebruary 20, 2011
Brevard was able to rebound to win game two 7-3 after falling 2-0 in the first to Winston-Salem State
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados softball team was able to earn a split in their doubleheader with the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams on Sunday afternoon. The Tornados fell 2-0 in the opener but rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win 7-3 in game two.
With the split, the Tornados moved to 7-3 on the season, while the Rams moved to 4-4 in 2011.
Game One: Winston-Salem State 2, Brevard 0
Box Score
The Tornados weren't able to get the bats going as they had just three hits against Brittany Lane of Winston-Salem State. Lane advanced to 3-2 on the season after going all seven innings and striking out eight.
Martika Elmore (Fayetteville, N.C.) was the Tornados starter. She lasted the complete game and scattered six hits while striking out nine in the loss. She fell to 3-2 after being touched for two runs.
Tanaya Pettus and Kayla Woodbury were able to hit back-to-back home runs off of Elmore to give them the two-run cushion they needed to win the opening game of the twinbill.
Game Two: Brevard 7, Winston-Salem State 3
Box Score
The Lady Rams opened the scoring in game two with a long ball from Kayla Woodbury, giving them a 1-0 lead. Winston-Salem State added another run in the fourth after loading the bases with no outs. Tiffany Burgess hit a groundout to plate Nikki Lynch making it 2-0 in favor of the Lady Rams. Tanaya Pettus was able to extend the lead to three when she hit her second solo homer of the doubleheader.
The Tornados were able to return-fire in the fifth when Brittany Fowler (Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA) reached on a single up the middle. After moving up to second on a sacrifice bunt from Kayla Dorsey (West Palm Beach, Fla.) she was able to score on a single by Chelsi Mallory (Mechanicsville, Va.). Mallory's base knock was misplayed by the centerfielder, allowing her to advance to third. One-batter later Becca Curlee (Eagle River, Alaska) hit her first homer of the season to tie things up at 3-3.
After setting down the Lady Rams in order in the top of the sixth, Brevard was able to strike again in the bottom half. Ally Davenport (High Point, N.C.) led the inning off with a bunt base hit. Meredit Davenport (High Point, N.C.) was able to move Ally into scoring position by laying down a sacrifice bunt. Fowler followed up by singling to center field, advancing Ally Davenport to third. The stage was set for Kayla Dorsey who stepped into the batter's box. Davenport was running from third on the pitch as Dorsey laid down a bunt. A throw from the third baseman was just late as Davenport slid into home safely, giving Brevard a 4-3 lead. Mallory stepped to the plate and jacked a three-run bomb to give the Tornados their final 7-3 edge. It was her second homer of the season.
Alyssa Miller (Davie, Fla.) threw another complete game, her fourth, and surrendered three runs on five hits. Miller moved to 4-1 on the season and struck out six in the victory.
The Tornados are back in action on Wednesday, February 23 rd when they play host to Georgia College & State University. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 2 p.m. at the Brevard College Softball Field.

PHOTO: Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reunite in Miami
Reunited and it feels so good!
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie hung out at Art Basel in Miami over the weekend, and the heiress shared a photo of the former BFFs on Instagram.
Hilton captioned the shot of herself, Richie and fashion writer Derek Blasberg, "Miami Nights with @DerekBlasberg & @NicoleRichie. #OldFriends #GoodTimes."
The former "Simple Life" stars infamously had a falling out in 2005, with Hilton telling USA Today, "Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it."
She and Richie eventually worked things out, but were never as close again.
What do you think of the pair hanging out again?

Hi everybody,
I have to setup for my job a very secure public server, containing important and secret informations that only few people will be able to access from different places.
But, before using it in production, I need you to make real security tests and try all the things you want to penetrate/break my system.
There is multiple goals :
- See if my firewall configuration is good.
- Test if my IDS are correctly configured.
- Be sure that I can use my server in production without any fears.
Finally, the server is at this time at home. You can reach it at this address :

Christian planted his first acre of vines on the estate. The variety was Shiraz and the vines are still producing fruit today. Auricht's old vineyard is the source of Langmeil Winery's single vineyard Shiraz. This rare wine commemorates the pioneering spirit of the first settlers and, because of their willingness to endure so much hardship for the right to keep their faith, it has been named The Freedom 1843 Shiraz. The vineyard is believed to be one of the oldest known surviving Shiraz vineyards in the world (pictured here).
The property was purchased in 1996 by three local mates whose families have lived in the Barossa Valley for several generations: Richard Lindner, Carl Lindner and Chris Bitter. They restored the remaining old buildings and the village well and beautified the gardens. As a tribute to the early pioneers, the new owners refurbished the old winery and named it Langmeil, after the original village.
Langmeil's award winning premium range is internationally recognized and has contributed towards the winery being regarded as one of the top premium wine producers in Australia View all Langmeil Wines
About Barossa ValleyView a map of Barossa Valley wineries
The Barossa zone consists of two sections - the Barossa Valley and the Eden Valley. Wines from the Eden Valley can be labelled Barossa or Barossa Valley.
Situated just a bit east of the large city of Adelaide, Barossa is Australia's wine headquarters. Mega producers are based here, boutique wineries call it home and a majority of the habitants claim their income on the wine industry. The valley is strewn with a series of hamlets, small towns spotted throughout the region.

Last week, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation president and CEO Sean Malone announced that the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture could lose its accreditation in 2017. Due to the Higher Learning Commission's (HLC) 2012 by-law changes, the school is considered a multifaceted institution that is not focused exclusively on higher education. Therefore, it cannot be HLC-accredited, a requirement by the National Architectural Accrediting Board which oversees all U.S. master's degree programs in the discipline. The HLC has given the school a two- to three-year deadline to make the changes needed for compliance with the by-law changes, but the school is also exploring a variety of options.
Malone spoke with ARCHITECT about the foundation's relationship with HLC, the school's options for the future, and the other activities that the foundation is managing.
The beginning of your official statement released on Thursday, Aug. 21, says that since 2012, when the HLC changed its by-laws, the foundation has been in "regular communication to find a resolution" that would allow the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture to remain in compliance with the new policies. Describe the foundation's relationship with HLC over the past two years and what has been discussed during that time.
The foundation had concerns when the HLC conveyed the simultaneous need for significant financial guarantees and true autonomy—no direct governance and no operational control. We worked for some time on the basic premise of whether the foundation itself could be considered an institution of higher education, because we are involved so heavily in higher education, it's so central to our mission, and we've been doing it for so long. We had a number of conversations where it looked like it might be possible for them to interpret or determine that the entire institution was an institution of higher education and therefore the new by-laws would comply. … It was ultimately determined that even though higher education is central to our mission, preservation is also central to our mission, as well as public access and engagement. … They have to apply their guidelines consistently and consider us a multifaceted institution. Therefore, the school is an operating division of a larger multifaceted institution. … We explored and pushed in a number of ways to see if it was possible to loosen the restrictions on direct governance and operational control, if we were going to be required to invest the level of support they were talking about.
How would the school and the foundation operate financially if they were to be separately incorporated?
The school of architecture requires a significant subvention—which many schools of architecture do. Total revenue minus total expenses leaves a pretty substantive deficit. HLC's requirements for separate incorporation are that the foundation would not have annual approval of or control over the independent school's annual budget—but would still be responsible for providing the seven-figure funding. The foundation would simply be responsible for whatever funding is necessary to sustain the school but could not, in correlation with that funding, have any direct governance or operational control.
You delivered the announcement to the students on Thursday. All current students will be able to complete their educations through an accredited program, but what was their general reaction to the news?
They were surprised. We let them know last fall that things looked good and things looked hopeful in terms of being considered an institution of higher education as a whole. We were surprised when that didn't work out, and they were surprised as well. I think there was frustration that there wasn't a resolution that allowed the board to create this independently incorporated organization. As a whole, they would've liked to have seen that independently incorporated organization that the HLC asked for, so that it could continue without having to look for a partner.
The school has been working for over a year on a post-professional program that would not require HLC accreditation. Tell me about the development of that program and why the school began working on it last fall.
A consultant had suggested it first, and school board members liked the idea. They liked the idea of a post-professional program in conjunction with a first-professional program, an M.Arch., which is more typically what you see when you see a post-professional program in the architectural education realm. In broad terms, there is a desire to see what impact we can have with people who are farther along with their architectural education or career, either right after they've gotten their M.Arch. or after several years of being a practicing architect and perhaps coming back to explore something in more depth. There aren't specific plans beyond that, other than a belief that there is a need that can be filled there and that what the two Taliesins and architectural education have to offer could make us uniquely positioned to meet those.
What is the foundation doing on the other components of its mission: preservation of the Taliesins and the collections, and the transformation of lives through the experience of Wright's work?
A lot of exciting things are happening on those fronts. Five years ago, we spent about $1 million combined on annual and capital endeavors for preservation, and this year we'll spend close to $3 million. That's more or less consistent with last year and what we expect for next year. So we're doing a lot more year-to-year to take care of these true international treasures. We're also right in the middle of a long-term preservation master plan, where we're doing an in-depth analysis of Taliesin West, in particular, of what needs to be restored and to what level, why, and how, so we can ensure its preservation for generations to come. We're also investing very heavily in how we have the deepest impact in terms of public access and tours. We just started an 18-month tour evaluation and interpretation plan project. With 100,000 visitors coming here [to Taliesin West] every year, we feel a real obligation to what they're taking away with them.

Archer strong in longest start of season
Rays righty yields two runs in seven frames, ends losing streak
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | June 14, 2012 7:44 PM ET
The Rays' No. 2 prospect allowed two runs over a season-high seven innings, breaking a personal four-game losing streak as the Triple-A Durham Bulls routed the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, 12-2.
Archer (4-8) surrendered just three hits and three walks, striking out five, to earn his first win since May 13.
"It was one of my top two or three starts of the season," Archers said. "I had crisp fastball command and everything else was working off that well. The pitching coach [Neil Allen] and I, the whole season, he's been challenging me to pound the strike zone and get ahead of hitters. I was able to do that tonight.
"We made awesome plays too. That's one thing the scorebook and line doesn't show. Double plays, we ran back on balls and caught them. It was one of those nights when whole team was clicking."
The 23-year-old right-hander was perfect through his first three innings before yielding a leadoff single to Kyle Hudson in the fourth. He surrendered both runs in the sixth, after Hudson led off with a walk and Kevin Frandsen followed with a single to make it first and third with nobody out. Eric Kratz connected on an RBI double two batters later, while Steve Susdorf plated the other run on a groundout.
"I limited my damage pretty well. ... I did give up two runs in the seventh, but it could've been a lot worse," Archer said. "I felt like I handled that situation a lot better."
Despite registering quality starts in three of his past four outings, Archer had dropped all four decisions. In one of those games against Norfolk, he struck out a career-high 12 batters, but lost because the Tides combined on a one-hit shutout.
"I try to not get too overwhelmed with it," Archer said. "What I try to do is keep my team in the ballgame. I understand the game of baseball is funny. Some days I'll go five innings and give up five runs and get a no-decision. Some days I pitch a shutout and get a no-decision. And I'll get wins and losses those fluky ways too. Honestly, if I have some bad 'luck,' I don't get too overwhelmed. Guys are playing hard and that's all that anyone can ask us to do."
Through 14 starts this year, Archer owns a 4.81 ERA with 90 strikeouts and 45 walks in 76 1/3 frames. Free passes have been an issue for Archer at the higher levels of the Minors, but he is working with Allen to correct the problem by emphasizing first-pitch strikes.
"He pitched in the big leagues for a long time and was a power pitcher," Archer said. "It's good to have a coach who was very similar to me and had the same issues as me coming up. I can learn from his experiences and he can teach me from his experiences."
Though Archer struggled in April, posting a 6.75 ERA, he has improved since then. Over his last nine starts, he has put together a 3.93 ERA.
"We're in the developmental league basically," Archer said. "And if you break down that word, for me, I'm trying to develop my mental side of the game. The physical is there. To harness that, I'm trying to develop the mental. I've really made progress with regard to the mental side.
"The first half was good. Could it have been better? Yes. But from where I started in April and where I'm at in mid-June, I feel like I've made a lot of progress and that's what it's all about for me."
Leslie Anderson led the Bulls' offense by going 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs, while Reid Brignac also went deep. Every player in the Durham lineup either scored or drove in a run.

J2G consists of three executable utilities with basic Eclipse IDE UI extensions. The "Configurator" component, and the three major components, each of which have relatively specific functions, and must be run in the order as follows.
The J2G tool set requires at least the following application versions
(these are the versions J2G is known to work on)
The tools in J2G require that the following environment variables be set to the proper locations:

This tool parses through source code (.java and .jsp files) recursively in directories passed to it as command line arguments. While doing this, it replaces any JBoss classes and dependencies for which there are Geronimo equivalents. If there is no equivalent, it will alert the user of this issue which must be resolved either through manual creation of a replacement class or rewriting the segment of code dependent on the JBoss class.
This tool converts JBoss specific deployment descriptors and J2EE standard deployment descriptors (if necessary) to their Geronimo equivalents.
This tool converts JBoss specific resources, such as Java Messaging Services (JMS) Queues, JMS Topics, Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) data sources to their Geronimo equivalents.
It is strongly advised to create a backup of the application source before running J2G
The Source Identification Tool should be started first. It scans the sources and identifies files that need to be changed during the migration process. These files include Java classes (.java files), JSPs (.jsp files), as well as files with an overridden JSP file extension, specified with the argument -jspext. (For example: -jspext html for .html files)
In these files, the tool checks for:

Any references beyond the table above must be manually corrected so that they are no longer dependent on parts of JBoss. It's important to note that JSP file processing is limited to the identification of problems, and automatic correction is not currently supported.
When the tool validates J2EE naming it detects cases in which a component (a class or JSP) refers to a named object that is not a part of the application being converted (For example: a data source, JMS, or Email provider reference). In simple cases, when a component requests an external resource with a direct, full path and does not have any environment reference, the tool tries to fix this problem automatically by adding the resource reference to the component's deployment descriptor and replaces the direct path with the name of the added reference.
When a source file is changed automatically by the Source Identification Tool, the original version is saved with the .j2g extension and an informational message is printed out. In all other cases, when a problem needs to be fixed manually, the tool simply prints a warning message.
Additional drop-in replacements for JBoss specific classes can be user-defined by modifying <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.apache.geronimo.j2g.sources.dependence/class_analogies.properties to include the proper relationship, as well as <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.apache.geronimo.j2g.sources.dependence/compatible_sources.properties to include the class name. The source code for these replacement classes must be placed in the directory <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.apache.geronimo.j2g.sources.dependence.compatibility for proper inclusion.
Classes that already exist within Geronimo jars can also be added into the class-analogies.properties file. These classes do not need to be placed within the compatibility directory but a dependency will have to be added to the corresponding xml in the converted application.
Below is an example of the default class_analogies.properties file
Below is an example of the default compatible_sources.properties file
To run this component within the Eclipse IDE GUI, the left panel must first be in Navigator view.
Once in the Navigator view, it is possible to right click and select J2G Migration from the context menu.
Within the J2G Migration sub menu, select "1. Source Identification Tool (jsrc2g)", and follow the prompts given.
Output will be displayed in the bottom portion of the Eclipse IDE, within the integrated Console window.
To run this component, execute the following command from the j2g bin directory, with <APPLICATION> representing the path to the application you are converting, and <GERONIMO_HOME> representing the path to Geronimo 1.1.1.
./jsrc2g.sh -src <APPLICATION>/src -web <APPLICATION>/web -geronimo <GERONIMO_HOME>
jsrc2g.bat -src <APPLICATION>\src -web <APPLICATION>\web -geronimo <GERONIMO_HOME>
Note: To specify multiple sources for conversion, simply separate them with ,s (commas), as follows.
jsrc2g.cmd -src <APPLICATION>/src,<APPLICATION>/src2,...<APPLICATION>/srcn -web <APPLICATION>/web -geronimo <GERONIMO_HOME>
After the tool runs (which may take a few seconds, depending on system speed and the complexity of the application), it will display all warnings and errors to console output. These messages should be interpreted and corrected as seen fit by the user. Once changes have been made, the sources tool can be ran again to verify correctness.
The Descriptors Conversion Tool finds and tries to automatically convert the following deployment descriptors so that they are accepted by Geronimo:
J2EE application deployment descriptor
JBoss specific descriptor for elements such as security domain, class loader configuration as well as some others
Web application descriptor
JBoss specific descriptor for elements such as security roles, session settings, web service configuration. It is used to integrate a web application into JBoss deployment
EJB deployment descriptor
JBoss descriptor providing any optional information like custom container configurations for the beans or JNDI names. It is used by JBoss but not described in the respective ejb-jar.xml
JBossCMP-JDBC configuration file describing CMP-Database mappings, and key generation information
Default JBossCMP-JDBC configuration file
Datasource connection configuration file
Note: Geronimo uses OpenEJB, which requires its own descriptor (openejb-jar.xml). There may be some instances where a jboss.xml is not given. In these cases, the openejb-jar.xml will be created on the top-most level directory in the source path that is specified to J2G.
The standard EJB annotations are supported by both Geronimo and JBoss. There are differences, however, in the attributes provided in some of the annotations.
Below is a list of all standard attribute differences provided that may occur within the specified annotations.
JBoss Attribute
Geronimo Attribute
Any references beyond the table above must be manually corrected so that they are no longer dependent on parts of JBoss.
JBoss has their own EJB annotation extensions. These must be manually corrected as needed
Additional drop-in replacements for JBoss specific annotation attributes can be user-defined by modifying <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.apache.geronimo.j2g.descriptors.ejb.annotation/annotation_differences.properties to include the proper relationship. Because the nature of these mappings are not one-to-one, we cannot format the properties in the traditional format of <annotation>=<attribute>. Instead, the proper formatting is as follows:
In the case of a standard EJB annotation
Where <annotation> is a standard EJB annotation
In the case of a standard jBoss specific to Geronimo compatible relationship
Where <j_attribute> is a JBoss supported attribute and <g_attribute> is a Geronimo supported attribute
Finally, in the case of needing multiple attribute mappings for a single annotation
Where <j_attribute> is a JBoss supported attribute and <g_attribute> is a Geronimo supported attribute
Below is an example of the default annotation_differences.properties file
When the tool checks for usage of EJB references incompatible with Geronimo, these JBoss EJB references are automatically replaced with Geronimo compatible OpenEJB references. Here is are the differences specified to change in the persistence.xml (used in EJB 3.0) so that the configurations are consistent.
JBoss EJB
Geronimo OpenEJB
Any references beyond the table above must be manually corrected so that they are no longer dependent on parts of JBoss.
Additional drop-in replacements for JBoss specific annotations can be user-defined by modifying <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.apache.geronimo.j2g.descriptors.ejb/persistence_differences.properties to include the proper relationship
Below is an example of the default persistence_differences.properties file
In order to just suggest to the user that X may be a replacement for Y (this is conditional because this is not a direct translation) the property can be written as <Y> = suggestion:<X>.
To run this component within the Eclipse IDE GUI, the left panel must first be in Navigator view.
Once in the Navigator view, it is possible to right click and select J2G Migration from the context menu.
Within the J2G Migration sub menu, select "2. Descriptors Conversion Tool (jdes2g)", and follow the prompts given.
Output will be displayed in the bottom portion of the Eclipse IDE, within the integrated Console window.
To start the Descriptors Conversion Tool run the following command from the j2g bin directory, again where <APPLICATION> represents the path to the application to be converted
./jdesc2g.sh <APPLICATION>
jdesc2g.bat <APPLICATION>
The warnings given in the output of this tool will report only unsupported elements that cannot be automatically converted, and must therefore be manually resolved and converted. This process is heavily dependent on the structure of the application being converted, and is therefore beyond the scope of this document.
The Resource Migration Tool converts JBoss specific resources to their Geronimo equivalents. It processes the following types of resources:
To run this component within the Eclipse IDE GUI, the left panel must first be in Navigator view.
Once in the Navigator view, it is possible to right click and select J2G Migration from the context menu.
Within the J2G Migration sub menu, select "3. Resource Migration Tool (jres2g)", and follow the prompts given.
Output will be displayed in the bottom portion of the Eclipse IDE, within the integrated Console window.
To start the Resource Migration Tool run the following command from the j2g bin directory, again where <APPLICATION> represents the path to the application to be converted
./jres2g.sh <APPLICATION>
jres2g.bat <APPLICATION>
The tool will output the name of each resource that is to be migrated, as well as informational, error, and warning messages with associated file names and line numbers. If migration of a resource is completed without errors, the tool will output a success message and generate the migrated resource in the same folder as the original one.
As with the other tools, the Error and Warning messages must be manually corrected to complete the conversion process, again which is heavily application specific and is beyond the scope of this document.
Once all of the above tools have been properly executed and there are no more errors or warnings, the converted application may now be built for Geronimo. Again, this is something that is extremely application specific and must be completely custom tailored in each individual situation.
After a successful build, the application should be able to be deployed in a running instance of Geronimo 1.1.1 without issue, however if it is not the errors displayed at deployment time must be resolved and the application must be rebuilt.

The folks who brought you Pearl Harbor are now bringing you Black Hawk Down, and despite the fact that both war movies feature Josh Hartnett and Tom Sizemore in key military roles, the films are very different.
Where Pearl Harbor was full of saccharine romance, nostalgic production design and eye-popping special effects, Black Hawk Down is a decidedly grim and realistic account of a botched military operation that resulted in the deaths of 18 Americans and more than 1,000 Somalis eight years ago. Where Pearl Harbor was widely dismissed for its commercialism, Black Hawk Down tries very hard to earn respect. This is the film producer Jerry Bruckheimer hopes will be remembered at Oscar time.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy (1988 – NES)
Despite the, er, rural setting, The Adventures of Bayou Billy was released in Japan under the name Mad City. As you can glean from the rope belt and battered hat sported by Bayou Billy on the cover – and the young lady in Daisy Dukes – this game was the most yee-haw redneck thing to hit the small screen since The Dukes of Hazzard.
The gameplay saw you fighting, driving, and shooting your way through enemies in order to rescue a girl (that old chestnut). Rather brilliantly, it saw you swapping between the NES controller and the Zapper light gun for shoot out stages. Wearing that hick hat in your bedroom was optional.
Saboteur II (1989 – C64, IBM)
A ninja, hacking away at panthers while riding a motorbike. Saboteur II's cover threw in everything but the kitchen sink in its bid to win over adolescent video gamers. You play Necra, a second-generation ninja warrior hand-picked and trained in special weaponry and hand-to-hand combat – labeled a lone and ruthless killer. Back in the day, the game's 700 screens of action actually qualified as a selling point.
Ballistix (1989 – Amiga, Atari ST, Acorn, BBC Micro, C64, MS-DOS)
The cover artwork for Psygnosis games was something else, offering up visions of spaceships, chrome and lizard men that appeared to have wandered in from a prog rock album cover.
Ballistix is a case in point – no, it isn't about robot demonic warriors dropping bombs on the innocent from the skies. Rather it's a future sport that involves directing a puck into a goal by shooting small balls at it. These amazing covers really oversold the games back then, huh?
Renegade – The Hit Squad (1987 – ZX Spectrum, C64)
Its cover stars may look more like the Village People than The Warriors, but this early example of the side-scrolling beat-em-up lived up to the ultraviolence depicted in its artwork – even if it came on a tape and took minutes to load. And who knew there were so many spiked maces available on the streets of New York?
Operation Stealth (1990 – Amiga, Atari ST, MS-DOS)
You can always rely on the French to take creative thought to another plane – in this case a different universe inside a blazer. Delphine's game cover mixes Miami Vice with Battlestar Galactica, though the game itself is more down-to-earth – it's a spy adventure in which Jim Glames tries to track down stolen F-19 stealth planes.
In the US, the game was actually released as a James Bond adventure, though why Britain's finest secret agent is taking orders from the CIA throughout is never explained.
Ork (1991 – Amiga, Atari ST)
Another prog-tastic effort from Psygnosis. Is that the asteroid-dwelling creature that tries to eat the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars? No, and fortunately George Lucas' lawyers didn't clock the homage – gaming was relatively below the radar back in the day.
The game saw you controlling the alien Ka-Kabul on planet Cisskei, solving puzzles and killing enemies. And in keeping with Psygnosis's tradition of referencing earlier games, the third level of Ork features Lemmings leaping off a cliff. At least they owned the rights to that one.
Skateboard Joust (1989 – ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC)
The cover might show a jet-powered skater dude attacking flying demon monkeys, but the game itself was somewhat less ambitious. The 2D side-scroller used all its 48K graphics grunt to muster up a skate-shaped figure you could jump into Dalek looking bad guys. Easier said than done with the squidgy keys of the ZX Spectrum keyboard.
Stryx (1989 – PC, Amiga, Atari ST)
Yup, that sure does look like Forbidden Planet's Robby the Robot, but it's not. Honest. It is, however, one of many villains standing in your cyborg way as you, Stryx, blast and jet-pack through this side-scrolling shooter to save humanity from the revolting robot population of Dome City.
Shadow of the Beast (1989 – Amiga)
This was a game changer – literally. If the warped alien cover didn't catch your eye the enormous (for the time) £35 price tag would.
Fortunately, this was one game that lived up to the visions depicted on the cover – Shadow of the Beast was a huge graphical leap forward, with loads more colours than previous games and a whopping 12 levels of parallax scrolling backdrops, set to an eerie and moving soundtrack by David Whittaker. It was later ported to nearly every console and computer out there.
Ninja Scooter (1988 – ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC)
Ninjas just can't get enough of two-wheeled transport, it seems. Ninja Scooter's a simple side-scrolling jump and dodge game, but it's the so-bad-it's-a-work-of-genius artwork that elevates it to greatness. Our hero fends off flying skulls from his trusty steed, disregarding basic road safety by riding with both hands off the handlebars (and, er, putting spikes on his wheels).
The best bit? The word "simulator," implying that Ninja Scooter is a painstakingly accurate rendition of the art of ninja scootering.

LAFAYETTE — The Iberia Parish coroner has concluded that a handcuffed man in the back seat of an Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office patrol unit shot himself to death in March.
Dr. Carl Ditch said Victor White III, whose hands were cuffed behind his back, was pronounced dead a few hours after a single bullet struck him on March 2. He was 22.
Ditch has refused to publicly release the full autopsy of White's body but issued a summary on Monday describing his office's findings. In a separate news release, Ditch also described White dying from a "single contact gunshot wound to the right lateral chest," adding that he concluded the shooting was a suicide.
"Although the decedent was handcuffed at the time with his hands to his back, … the pathologist and investigators agree that he would have been able to manipulate the weapon to the point where the contact entrance wound was found," Ditch said in a statement Monday.
White had just been arrested after allegedly being involved that night, a Sunday, in a fight that occurred in the 300 block of Lewis Street. White and a deputy were parked at the Sheriff's Office when the gun went off.
White was pronounced dead at 1:13 a.m. March 3, a few hours after he was shot.
The summary report of the autopsy performed on the afternoon of March 3 describes a bullet entry at the "anterior/lateral chest," or an entry on the front right of the side of the chest, just to the right of the nipple. The bullet traveled "slightly front to back, slightly upward" and from right to left, piercing the middle lobe of White's right lung and going through his heart, then through the left lung before it exited his left armpit. The bullet was not recovered in White's body, according to the report.
The report also noted that White had abrasions on his left upper face and eye, and that a toxicology examination found alcohol and marijuana in his body.
Efforts Monday to contact White's family for comment were unsuccessful, but a fundraiser page on the GoFundMe website that appears to be set up by family indicates they are skeptical of the autopsy findings. The page is seeking money to pay for an independent autopsy.
Sheriff Louis Ackal in March asked State Police detectives to investigate the shooting.
State Police Master Trooper Brooks David said state investigators have had to wait to get evidence in the case, such as the autopsy.
"Most of that evidence has come in along with the coroner's report," David said. He said the 16th Judicial District Attorney's Office would soon get the complete investigative report for a review.
David also has said detectives have determined that the gun that killed White was not a weapon used by deputies.
The deputy who transported White to the Sheriff's Office the night of March 2 reported that White was being uncooperative when he was told to get out of the car. State Police in March said the deputy was calling for help in removing White from the car when the gun fired.
The day after the shooting, State Police reported that deputies found illegal drugs on White before cuffing him.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Ryan Turner said Monday that the department has no comment on the autopsy and White's death, citing the arm's length distance the Sheriff's Office has taken in the investigation.
In his news release, Ditch said he gave White's family a copy of the full autopsy findings on August 14. In a news release, Ditch said his suicide conclusion was based on "forensic evidence" and information from the State Police investigation.
He said he did not issue a news release to media because of a policy of not giving out details of a suicide.
"Due to events since that time, however, I feel this press release is necessary," Ditch said. He apparently was referring to publicity about the case generated in recent days, as stories about the autopsy have appeared in various online news outlets.
Ditch said he would not comment further.

description: What gives birth to a puggle? Covered in spines, Australia's echidna is one of the rarest animals in the world: It's one of only two known mammals that lay eggs.

title: World Weirdest: Echidna

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
This walking, sniffing ball of spines is an echidna.
It's a mother on a mission.
She's hunting for ants and termites.
To find them underground or under wood, she uses her strong sense of smell and another weirder sense.
Studies suggest that special cells in her beak are sensitive to the electromagnetic signals emitted by all living things.
It's a sense usually found in sharks and rays, but the echidna may be the only land mammal that has the ability to search for food this way.
She's uncovered a colony of ants and uses her long sticky tongue to slurp them up.
She needs the nutrition.
She's already given birth...to an egg.
Echidnas, along with their cousin, the platypus, are the only egg-laying mammals in the world.
The egg incubates in a simple pouch under her belly.
Inside, a baby echidna, called a puggle, develops.
After about 10 days, the egg hatches.
The puggle stays inside the pouch, nursing from its mother's milk and packing on the ounces.
Two months later, the puggle starts to grow spines-that's its mother's cue to move it to a burrow, where she'll continue to take care of it for seven more months.
All that effort means a lot of food.
So her mission remains the same: find more to eat.

PARIS — The French vending association, NAVSA, and Reed Expositions France are readying Vending Paris 2008, which again will be held in Hall 4 of the Porte de Versailles exhibition center. The biennial exposition of vending and related technology and products is set for October 29 through November 1.
The show this year will emphasize what its planners regard as a new segment of the away-from-home market, "take-away" sales. According to NAVSA, 2 billion take-away meals were served in 2006, and the market is growing at an annual rate of 4% to 5%.
In order to present a comprehensive overview of the away-from-home market and a wider variety of exhibits corresponding with new consumer demands, the 10th edition of Vending Paris will include a new area called "Nomading." Dedicated to take-away sales, it will bring together all the components of the carryout food and refreshments business, from food and drink product suppliers (including purveyors of chilled and ultra-chilled items) to packaging and labeling equipment suppliers. It will appeal not only to vending operators, but also to other retail establishments that serve the "nomad" sector, such as coffee shops.
New this year will be an "innovation" trophy, presented to the most original new offering – product, service or technology – in the take-away sales field. This will join the six established exhibitor trophies that honor creativity in advancing the state of the art.
With some 250 exhibitors and 12,000 visitors from France, other European Union nations and the global vending industry, Vending Paris (originally D.A. Expo) has become a leading international event over the decade since its inauguration.
Information is available online by visiting vendingparis.com.
