Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, just to put this debate in perspective for myself and myself alone, I wish I could speak an additional language. It would make me a better person. I think I would enjoy that experience. I know enough German just to be dangerous. I lived 4 1/2 years in Germany, and I picked up a little of the language, but I was always somewhat embarrassed that all my German friends probably spoke better English than I, and several other languages. It would be great for our country if our young people could learn additional languages because we live in a global economy and a global world, and it would make America a better place.
However, what makes America a special place and what is the key to success in America, from an economic and social perspective, is to master or be competent in the English language. While I personally would like to be able to speak another language--I think it would make me a better person, it would change my life for the better--when it comes to our Nation, it is important that we focus as a nation on those things which unify us, and our common language is English. We need to understand that and promote that because if you are coming to America or you are here now, your life will be tremendously enhanced if you are fluent in the English language. Opportunities will exist for you that will not exist otherwise.
I know there are many people in this body from different places in the world, and some have parents or grandparents who came here not speaking a word of English. Some may have died not speaking a word of English, and their lives were just as valuable as anybody else's life, but we are trying, as a Government to make a policy statement here--it is a policy statement--but not change the law at the same time.
The goal of this amendment is to say English is the national language of the United States. That is true. I would encourage every American to learn another language, get your kids enrolled in taking Spanish or some other language because they will be more successful in a global economy. From an individual level, we would be better off if every American could master additional languages other than English. But from a national perspective, to make sure we maintain our national unity and our common sense of being one nation, it is important that we emphasize the need to assimilate into America by mastering the English language. Senator Inhofe is making a statement that needs to be made. I congratulate him.
What does this amendment do, and what is it intended to do? This amendment says:
The Government of the United States shall preserve and enhance the role of English as the national language of the United States of America.
That is a good policy statement. From an individual perspective, we should learn as many languages as possible, but from a national perspective, we need to promote assimilation in our society. The best way to assimilate into our society is not to abandon your native tongue but to also learn English.
Mr. DURBIN. Will the Senator yield for a question?
Mr. GRAHAM. I certainly will.
Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, I would like to first commend the Senator from South Carolina. He and I have spoken in the well here on the floor about this issue. I am trying, as he is, to understand this issue from another's point of view because I am a lucky person. My mother was an immigrant to this country. When her parents came to this country from Lithuania, they did not speak English. My mother spoke both Lithuanian and English, and as a young girl was an interpreter in court so immigrant families could have justice even if they didn't understand English very well. My mother spoke both languages, but I speak only English.
The Spanish language has become an important symbol for so many people in this country. It reflects on their heritage. It is a source of pride. They are proud to be Americans, but they are equally proud to have a heritage they can point to.
I look at the amendment offered by the Senator from Oklahoma. I can't quarrel with his beginning sentence where he says:
The Government of the United States shall preserve and enhance the role of English as the national language of the United States of America.
That strikes me as a statement of fact. English is our language. Success in America depends on a command of English. If you speak only Spanish, your horizons are very limited.
But what troubles me, and I am still wrestling with it, and I think the Senator from South Carolina is as well, is the rest of the amendment. What happens in the situation where a person is here legally in the United States but has limited English language skills--what happens when that person, legally here, goes into a courtroom, goes in to vote, goes before law enforcement agencies? What kind of guarantee can we give that the person will be treated fairly? Because just as English is at the root of who we are as Americans, so is the concept of fairness.
I am trying to find the balance. I think the Senator from South Carolina is looking for that same balance. I would like to ask the Senator to reflect on whether we are being careful in the language of this amendment. Are we going too far? Are we going to find people who are poor, people with limited language skills, who will not receive the kind of treatment and fairness we really take pride in as Americans?
Mr. GRAHAM. I will be glad to answer. That is a great question. Here is the way I view what we are trying to do. Please, others, speak up.
Even though we are trying, in this amendment, to promote the idea that English is the national language and the Government of the United States shall preserve and enhance the role of English as the national language of the United States of America, there is something else we are trying to avoid doing. The truth is that a variety of Government services are authorized and provided by law in languages other than English. That decision has been made in the Voting Rights Act. There are a bunch of incidences in our law through court decisions, statutory schemes, maybe regulatory schemes, that would authorize a service to be provided by the U.S. Government in a language other than English. My goal is to make sure, in trying to bring us together, focusing on English as an essential part of who we are, not to disturb that legal setting.
So if in the example of the Senator of someone who is needing translation in court because they are not competent in the language, the English language, and they can't understand the proceedings--if a judge determines that or there is a statute which requires that person be provided translation, interpreting services, nothing in this amendment would override that.
Mr. DURBIN. May I ask the Senator to yield for a question?
Mr. GRAHAM. Yes.
Mr. DURBIN. Can the Senator point to me in a current situation where a Government service is being offered and explained in a language in addition to English--and that is usually the case.
Mr. GRAHAM. Right.
Mr. DURBIN. There will be English and then another language. And in my home State of Illinois, that language might be Polish, incidentally, or the Filipino dialect of Tagalog, for example, that might be the case.
Mr. GRAHAM. Right.
Mr. DURBIN. Can the Senator point to a single circumstance where he thinks there is an injustice in providing that alternative language instruction, an injustice that requires us to change the law of the United States of America?
Mr. GRAHAM. Let's go back to the original question and incorporate it into the answer. The Senator asked me if I know of a case where the American Government provides a service in some language other than English that I find unjustified? The answer is overwhelmingly no. We do provide, at the Federal level, bilingual ballots and other services outside of English for a reason, and I think those reasons are good.
The Senator from Oklahoma gave an example. I believe it is a Federal statute that makes sure that due process rights of people not sufficiently trained in understanding English are preserved. At some point in time--in 1978 or whenever it was--Congress came along and said: There will be services provided in a language other than English in a court setting. Not only do I think that is just, but I want to preserve it.
Here is the ultimate answer to the Senator's question. If there is an example of an injustice in the Senator's mind as an individual Senator, where the Government of our country is providing a service not in English, this will not remedy that injustice.
That is what I am trying to say. Passing this amendment, voting for this amendment will not remedy that injustice. If you find one, you would have to come to the floor of the Senate and introduce a bill--a regulation--because this does not do that.
What Senator Inhofe said is absolutely right. The reason I am going to vote for this is because I think it tries to unite us without taking off the table exceptions to English or services provided other than English. It doesn't disturb the legal situation in this country by a statute, regulation, court decree or an Executive order conferring rights of people to receive services other than English. If I thought it did, I wouldn't vote for it.
Mr. DURBIN. Mr. President, if I may ask the Senator to yield for a question, I wish there were a way to engage the Senator from Oklahoma because it is his amendment, and I would like to hear his response. I hold in my hand a publication from the Department of Justice which you can find on the Web site. I invite my colleagues to go to the Web site. They can read this official publication from the Department of Justice, and this is what they will learn. It is entitled, ``Know Your Rights.''
Do you have trouble with English? Are you unable to speak, read, write, or understand English well? If so, you are limited in English proficiency. Federal agencies and organizations which get money from the Federal Government have to take reasonable steps to help people who have trouble with English. Sometimes when a government agency or organization does not help you because you are limited in English proficiency, they violate the law. This is called ``national origin discrimination.''
They go on to say:
There is a Federal law that protects your civil rights. The law is called ``Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.''
It goes on with examples of possible discrimination. If you come to a hospital and you have limited English proficiency, they are supposed to be able to try to help you understand what your rights are and treat you.
Are we changing that? Will the Inhofe amendment change that? If it doesn't, why are we enacting this? If this is law which we are comfortable with and will live with--and it is currently law in the United States--why are we trying to change it? If we are eliminating this protection which is currently in the law, recognized by the Department of Justice, why are we eliminating it?
That is my question.
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, I will give the Senator my answer and then yield to anyone. I know we need to wrap this up.
In my opinion, the phrase, ``unless otherwise authorized or provided by law,'' we would preserve that service. Simply stated, that language to me is intended to make sure that whatever service is provided in a language other than English, our Federal Government is not disturbed. If you want to disturb it, you would have to come back and do something else.
Mr. DURBIN. If that is not the case, what does this add? What does it change? What does it bring to the law that isn't currently in the law?
Mr. GRAHAM. May I suggest why I think we need to do this and why I support Senator Inhofe. We have gone through a great debate in this country, which is long overdue. What does it mean to be an American? And what role unites us and what divides us? I think it is time for this body to say two things: We will continue to provide services other than English out of a sense of justice and fairness, and we are not going to disturb that because I think there is a goal for that in our society.
But as we debate how to assimilate 11 million people, we need to make it clear that it is the policy of our Government not to change the law but is the goal of our Government to enhance our common language, English. To me, that is a good thing to say because when the demonstrations are in the streets with Mexican flags, they have the right to fly any flag, but some of us have to respond to that. I am supporting the bill, but I am not going to sit on the sidelines and watch demonstrations that destroy national unity. I am trying to bring us all together, and I want the individuals who are here and undocumented to be documented by taking civics classes and taking an English proficiency exam.
Why do we ask them to do that? Why is that part of the pathway to citizenship? We all know if they don't become proficient in English, they will never achieve their own individual value and will be hurting our country. And we are trying to reinforce that without doing it in a way that would deny services already provided in languages other than English. That is why it is important to me. That is why I will vote for it.
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield?
Mr. GRAHAM. I yield the floor.
Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, this is a debate which you wonder why you are having it the more we talk about it. How did we get here from where we started?
Let me suggest that what Senator Inhofe was trying to do here is important. Senator Bingaman, my good friend from New Mexico--I disagree with him that this is not that big a deal in terms of its importance to the bill or the debate. I think it is a very important part of the debate. I appreciate Senator Inhofe putting it on the floor of the Senate. We will talk about what I think the amendment does and does not do. Let's talk about why it is important to the debate.
One thing we have to remember is that the underlying bill that came out of Judiciary, the McCain-Kennedy concept as changed by Hagel-Martinez, which I support and I think is a good solution for a real problem for America, has as one of the provisions that if you will come out of the shadows and you raise your hand and say: Here I am, I am undocumented, the bill allows you a path to citizenship with several requirements before you can ever apply for citizenship. One of those requirements is that you come out of the shadows, and for a 6-year period you can work here, and you have to pay a $2,000 fine. I think that is fair. I don't think that is being oppressive. That is making people pay for violating the law. It is a punishment that is consistent with a nonviolent offense.
Another condition is that you must learn English. Why did we make that a condition of coming out of the shadows? I think Senator Kennedy and every other person on that side of the aisle--the Democratic side of the aisle--understands that to require an illegal immigrant to learn English is not unfair. If we thought it was unfair, we should not have put it in the bill. Why did we put it in the bill? We realize as a body the best you can do for people coming out of the shadows is challenge them and help them learn English so they can be value added to our country and they can survive in our economy.
It is true that the Inhofe amendment doesn't provide any resources, nor does the Salazar amendment. The reason neither one provides resources to learn English is that we have already done that with my good friend, Senator Alexander from Tennessee. We put a requirement on the undocumented illegal immigrant to learn English but in a true American fashion. We have put some resources--a $500 grant--on the table which will help meet that obligation.
Here is the important point. If you fail to pass the English proficiency exam, you will be deported. Under the bill, if you fail to pass the English proficiency exam--and I am probably the worst advocate in the country for the English language--you can be deported. That is not unfair. That is not too hard. That is just. So if you are willing to make everybody come forward and learn English, and if they fail you are going to deport them, why can we not say as a body that the Government of the United States shall preserve and enhance the role of English as the national language of the United States of America? If we are willing to deport people for failing to learn English, surely we should stand behind the concept as a nation that it is in our best interest for people to learn English.
Now, as to the unintended consequences, I have looked at this all day, and I am of the belief that this amendment, as written, preserves every legal opportunity avenue available for the Federal Government to interact with the people of the United States by issuing forms and documents in languages other than English. The purpose is to say publicly that English is our national language and that the Government shall preserve and enhance the role of English without having the legal consequence of rolling back laws that are already on the books that allow the Government to interact with its people, provide services in other languages. That is why the term ``unless otherwise authorized or provided by law'' is there. That means, simply put, if there is a law on the books--a case decision, a regulation, an Executive order, you name the source of law--or a constitutional provision that would allow the Federal Government to interact with its people in a language other than English, it is not affected by this amendment, nor does it prevent in the future the Government expanding those services in a language other than English. It says, also, there is no entitlement to a service from the Federal Government in a language other than English, unless authorized by law. That is just a simple, commonsense concept.
We do business in this country at the Federal level. We have programs at the Federal level that allow languages other than English to be utilized, including the Voting Rights Act, which allows bilingual ballots, and the Court Interpreters Act of 1978, which provides for translations or interpretations of other languages in Federal court. There are a lot of laws that allow the Federal Government to provide services in languages other than English, and this amendment protects those laws; it doesn't change their status at all.
Now, to read this amendment to say that some State flag has to be changed--I will be honest with you, that is not even an honest, fair interpretation of the words as printed on the paper. It is not the intent of anyone. It is something being said that is not rationally related to the words or the intent of the author or the way the bill works. We are trying to preserve whatever legal rights there are to do business in languages other than English that are in existence today, and maybe tomorrow, and we are trying to reinforce the role that English is our national language. If we don't do that, if we back off of that concept, what signal are we sending to the people we are willing to deport if they fail to learn English?
We cannot have it both ways. We need to take a strong stand for a couple of principles. If you want to assimilate into American society, it is important that you learn English. How have we stood for that principle? If you come out of the shadows and you fail the English exam, you are going to get deported. We are giving people money to help them pass that exam, but we are not going to waive the requirement that you learn English to be assimilated for the 11 million undocumented workers. I think it would help everybody in this country if the Senate went on record and said that the policy of this Government will be to preserve and enhance the role of English in our society, and do it in such a way that understands that speaking other languages, having a different culture, is not a bad thing but a good thing. There is nothing in this amendment, in my opinion, that does away with any laws that already exist or might exist in the future for a language other than English.

I sure am getting tired of waiting for the"great" Homer Bailey to start fulfilling
his expectations. I think he doesn't have it between the ears and will always just be a below average pitcher in this league
The starting pitching problem we have doesn't end with Bailey.I hope things turn around.Where I thought we had depth,now looks thin.Hopefully Willis carries over his stats and Wood,Volquez(I still hold out hope),and Arroyo begin to pitch like we know they can.
I don't know that he's below average now. I think he's more average...if he could cut out his brain lapses he can still be very good. Even with those lapses he's been better than Arroyo and Volquez this year, minus the part where Homer gets injured on the regular.
Good point about his past injuries...and it usually seems to be his shoulder, which is trouble
How come when Bailey gets beat up it's a "brain lapse" and he "doesn't have it between the ears" but if it's anybody else they just got beat? There is a creeping anti-Homer bias going through this board and let me tell you, Homer Bailey is the least of worries right now. Bray is going through a funk. Coco is going through a funk, Bronson has just been BAD and the offense hasn't been able to score until the past couple of nights.
Bailey is still young. I can't see trading him yet. He has improved every year. As he gets more experience, I believe he will develop more confidence and be less subject to failing under pressure. Every person is different and it may take Bailey a little more time to adjust to pressure. Anyone can tell you how mental this game is, and you have to be relaxed to play it well. Give him some more time. What we want is for all these young players we have to gel at the same time. That is what it's going to take to win a championship.
There are always times where players just need a change of scenary and both sides will be better off. I think that this is the case.
Nice game Homer
He is not young anymore...he will be out of this league in 2-3 years so he is relatively old.
I'm not convinced we have a game plan. We pitch great against teams we play all the time, then......in interleague and against the NL East, we struggle.
Advanced scouting.
It's funny - in his next game he'll pitch well and be back to being the future ace of this team. He is close to the whipping boy of the pitching rotation.

Archos hasn't quite managed to set the tablet world alight, despite coming up with some neat and innovative ideas including last year's Archos 101 G9 featuring a detachable 3G dongle. However, the Archos 101 XS is shaping up to be its best effort yet, an Android Ice Cream Sandwich tablet packing a magnetic cover that doubles as a keyboard.
We had a chance to play with the Archos 101 XS, part of the new 'Gen 10' Archos family, and were left suitably impressed. The tablet is a wide 10-incher that's impressively slender at just 8mm (almost matching the super-slim Toshiba AT200). The metal frame does bend when tugged on, but still feels sturdy enough to throw in a bag when hitting the road.
And you don't have to worry about the 10.1-inch screen getting scratched, thanks to the bundled magnetic cover that snaps over the front. Best of all, the inside of the cover features a physical keyboard that doubles as a stand. Flip up a tab at the top of the 'Coverboard', and the tablet slides into place and holds firm courtesy of the powerful magnets contained inside the cover. Those magnets are seriously strong too – we grabbed the tablet and swung it around with the cover attached, and it didn't slip an inch.
The tab can be adjusted to change the viewing angle, so you get a perfect view of your work or movies. If you feel like belting out an email or finishing off some work, the keyboard is a great little solution. It takes a little while to adjust to the tiny keys after working on a full-sized board, but Archos has kindly included some Android-specific keys that bring up menus, take you to the desktop and more. You also get media keys for pausing and skipping through movies and music. The keys are just 5mm deep, giving enough of a tactile feedback without making the Coverboard overly bulky.
Archos told us the keyboard is simply a bonus, to compete with rivals such as the Asus Transformer Prime. The emphasis is still very much on enjoying movies and games on the go, and we were impressed by the crisp, colourful visuals when watching trailers and playing games such as Asphalt 6. The ARM Cortex-A9 processor keeps everything running smoothly, backed up by 1GB of RAM. Viewing angles on the 10.1-inch display are excellent and we didn't struggle to see when the sun was shining on the screen.
Archos has also created a free remote control app, perfect if you want to hook the tablet up to your TV via HDMI and enjoy a film at home.
The 101 XS lacks a rear-facing camera, which we're not too sad to see – we're much happier that Archos included a front-facing lens instead, for chatting over Skype. Android Ice Cream Sandwich appears in its vanilla form, with a deliberate intention of not adding clunky or superfluous overlays, and Archos promised an update to Jelly Bean before the end of the year. We were also promised around 10 hours of battery life with moderate use, or four to six hours with heavy gaming and media playback.
The Archos 101 XS will be out mid-September with a price tag of £299. Smaller versions (Archos 97 XS and Archos 80 XS) will also be available, which we're hoping to see in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for a full review!

Devon & Cornwall Police has a minimum of four Armed Response Vehicles (ARVs) on patrol at all times.
These vehicles are ready to respond to spontaneous incidents. Incidents often aren't something that requires the use of firearms.
Rather than being stationary on standby at a police station, the ARVs are constantly on the move and may be the nearest police resource that can be called on to assist with anything from a shoplifter to reports of a weapon.
ARV firearms officers have additional training to take on a role that can expose them to a wide range of situations, which may call on them to use any tactic which resolves a conflict or problem, from negotiation skills to the use of firearms.
Over and above their police training they have undergone a ten week firearms course, four week advanced driving course and four weeks of skills training in traffic law. Currently there are 94 PCs and 15 sergeants who are trained to crew an ARV.
If armed intervention is required for an unplanned operation, a firearms commander has the authority to task the ARV to attend.
The contents of each ARV, as well as its crew, makes it different from most police vehicles. Each ARV carries two Heckler & Koch G36 carbines, a rifle, a shotgun and a device which delivers attenuating energy projectiles or AEPs, otherwise known as baton rounds or more colloquially plastic bullets.
ARV officers also have additional medical training and carry with them in the ARV an extended medical pack and a defibrillator.
These can be used to treat firearms injuries but also equally at the roadside in the event of a road traffic collision (RTC) or if a member of the public is suffering a suspected heart attack.
ARVs can often be the first police resource to arrive at the scene of an RTC and consequently also carry traffic cones and road signs, as well as a standard broom and shovel to remove debris from the road!

Sometimes it's hard to visualize just how connected the Internet has made our world. But, behold, programmer and "Internet cartographer" John Matherly is here to help:
Pinged all devices on the Internet, here's a map of where they're located :) pic.twitter.com/G3fiNcKCul
— John Matherly (@achillean) August 28, 2014
The map shows where devices are connected to the Internet -- with red indicating a higher density of devices and blue showing less density. As you can see, it differs pretty substantially from where people are in the world. Much of Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, is highly populated but remarkably dark on Matherly's map.
Matherly is founder of Shodan, which is sometimes called the "scariest search engine on the Internet" by the media. Shodan can uncover unsecured technology that is connected to the Internet, but despite that ominous nickname is primarily used for good. Bad guys actually have a vested interest in keeping vulnerabilities quiet, but researchers use Shodan to uncover lax security protocols and fix them.

This was our first trip to Puerto Vallarta and I have to admit the staff at Casa Velas has spoiled us for life!! We visited Puerto Vallarta and Casa Velas with friends who had a Time-Share in the Velas properties. We upgraded to Casa Velas, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic!!
Denisse, Rafael and the entire concierge/front desk staff were simply outstanding - they made us feel right at home immediately, and they were all so very helpful and informative. Their customer service and professionalism was top notch - outstanding!!
The rest of the stellar staff at Casas Velas deserve special recognition as well: Alejandro (Alex) our driver; Freddy the pool bartender; Idet and Karen; the staff at Emiliano was superb - Edgar, Jorge, Marcus, Cruz, and Bernardino were all friendly, helpful and courteous. Every day the hostesses were cheerful, pleasant, and ready to provide you with a wonderful dining experience.
Casa Velas will always hold a special place with me, because my partner and I were celebrating our 20-year anniversary, and the staff offered congratulations and positive sentiments at every turn. We especially loved receiving a card and treats from Denisse on our special day, and we will never forget how comfortable and accepting everyone was at the resort.
THANK YOU, Casa Velas!!!!

A World at School scorecard shows many countries are failing their children
Picture: UNICEF/Altaf Qadri
Only TWO countries out of the 29 with 500,000 or more out-of-school children are making good progress towards getting every girl and boy into learning by the end of the year, according to a shocking new report.
With only nine months to go before the deadline for universal education set by the United Nations, urgent action is needed to develop strong strategies and increase spending on education, according to a set of figures published today by A World at School.
In the Millennium Development Goal 2 Global Education Scorecard, eight countries are described as being "way off track". Nigeria and Pakistan carry the heaviest burden with nine million and five million children respectively out of school. Afghanistan, Haiti, Niger, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan are also on the same list.
In 2000 the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were signed, promising that by 2015 every child would have access to an education. But 58 million children are currently out of school - and the situation is not improving.
Since 2012 at least 12 African countries have seen cuts in their aid to basic education of $10 million or more.
The 29 countries profiled and rated contain nearly 50 million of the 58 million children currently not getting a basic primary school education. The A World at School scorecard reveals what each country is doing to overcome that.
Baela Jamil, education advocate from Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) in Pakistan, said: "The scorecard shows we must redouble our efforts to achieve universal education and learning. For Pakistan, that means we ensure plans are in place for every child, we create safe schools and that government financing reaches the level needed."
Only Ghana and Mozambique are said in the scorecard to have made "good progress" with 13 other countries marked as "urgent action needed." Those include Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Indonesia and Yemen.
A further six countries have been marked as "targeted efforts needed", including India, Ethiopia and Uganda.
Gordon Brown, United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, will take these findings to the international community - challenging leaders to help governments get back on track. He said: "Fifteen years ago we made a promise that no child would be shut out of school. Yet on the eve of our deadline to deliver on this promise we have not put these fundamental building blocks in place. This is a wake-up call to governments and donor agencies worldwide to put education on the agenda and deliver on our commitment to children."
Ben Hewitt, Campaigns Director for A World at School, said: "The scorecard shows that progress on getting children in to school has stalled while donor funding for basic education is declining."
Annie Namala, Executive Director of the Centre for Social Equity and Inclusion in India, said: "The large majority of out-of-school and drop-out children in India come from the socially-excluded communities as Dalits, Tribals, Nomadic communities and Muslims. Targeted financial and academic efforts are necessary to overcome the historical exclusions and addressing current forms of discriminations in schools to bring every child into schooling and learning."

3. Re: Unable to load resource https://<server>/eas_Client.jarragavhere Nov 14, 2012 10:08 PM (in response to JohnGoodwin)John,
It worked when we added the port 10083 to the URL.
Is there a document or reference that talks about enabling SSL if the Hyperion web applications are deployed to IIS? I went through the EPM security administration guide. It talks about installing certificates for weblogic and oracle http server but not for IIS. We did not run the EPM configurator to run the Foundation common settings to check the option "Use SSL for web application server communication" and I am concerned of the approach we have taken as FR studio and web analysis designer does not launch. . Though we have deployed to IIS, do we still have to install certificates for weblogic?

You might think IBM's Jeopardy!-winning Watson supercomputer is getting stretched a bit thin these days, but that isn't stopping the company from teaming up with seven universities to offer computer science students a chance to build analytics, mobile and other apps for the system.
IBM CEO Ginny Rometty earliier this year at Mobile World Congress challenged developers to build apps for Watson, which is at heart of IBM's cognitive computing technology efforts. Watson's other endeavors include solving the mysteries of brain cancer and enabling enterprises to make better use of data.
+ ALSO on NetworkWorld: Computer Science enrollments rocketed last year, up 22% +
Carnegie Mellon, Ohio State University, New York University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of California Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the University of Texas in Austin are all on board to offer Watson-based classes as soon as this fall. IBM is providing a dedicated copy of Watson that students will be able to access via the cloud.
"The home run we're looking for is to add our vision to IBM's technology to create an application that is useful and worthy of being spun off as a product," said Eric Nyberg, a professor in CMU's Language Technologies Institute, in a statement. Nyberg and his students have been working with Watson as far back as 2007, actually, on advanced question-and-answer applications.
CMU's new course is called "Intelligent Information Systems featuring IBM's Watson."

We have demonstrated a monolithic cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped single all-fiber laser oscillator generating 1 kW of CW signal power at 1080 nm with 71% slope efficiency and near diffraction-limited beam quality. Fiber components were highly integrated on "spliceless" passive fibers to promote laser efficiency and alleviate non-linear effects. The laser was pumped through a 7:1 pump combiner with seven 200-W 91x nm fiber-pigtailed wavelength-beam-combined diode-stack modules. The signal power of such a single all-fiber laser oscillator showed no evidence of roll-over, and the highest output was limited only by available pump power.

Cheap Sunglasses, the 1980 track by ZZ Top came on the radio. It made me think about the word cheap and how it means different things to different people.
Sure, it's important to get a great price when you buy anything. After all, who wants to pay more than they need to? No one.
However, cheap can often be extremely expensive. For example:
We provide wholesale sunglasses countrywide, always great value and always with superb customer service. And we have a great reputation for doing so.
What we won't do, ever, is supply wholesale sunglasses that are dangerous. We use suppliers we trust, so that our retailers can rest assured that their customers will be happy.
At CTS Wholesale Sunglasses we don't sell cheap sunglasses. Instead, our wholesale sunglasses prices are inexpensive. They are cost effective. They provide outstanding value too.
So, our retailers pay a low price for outstanding service, premium quality sunglasses and the peace of mind that comes from buying from a respected, established business.
As many retailers have found out, sourcing from cheap wholesalers can prove to be a costly mistake. So make no mistake -- and get in touch! If you are a retailer and would like to know more about our extremely popular wholesale sunglasses, all you need to do is simply click here.
We will happily answer any questions you have. Alternatively, call us using one of the numbers on the top right hand side of this page.
We look forward to hearing from you.

On top of that, he handled third base, second base and left field with great competence. All around, he looked like a gamer.
"Ryan Schimpf, he's a real tremendous talent," New Hampshire hitting coach Jon Nunnally said. "From what i saw, the kid's got talent, he has power, you know, he's got some speed, so I think he can hold his own."
Schimpf tallied 22 homers on the year, counting his 14 in Dunedin in the earlier half of the season. Prior to his joining New Hampshire, Nunnally hadn't been completely aware of his prowess.
"Well, I only saw him in Spring Training, wasn't with him much," Nunnally said. "I didn't know he had as much pop as he did have. I didn't know very much about him."
With big time prospect Jake Marisnick struggling to raise his average above .220 during his time with the Fisher Cats, Schimpf stood out as a success with Double-A New Hampshire. He not only had the power, but he had the ability to bring out his best when he needed to.
The potential for clutch performance came in handy while trying to play left field on a daily basis for the first time in his career. In the final series against the Portland Sea Dogs, Schimpf made a stellar throw from left field, gunning down a runner by a mile at home plate.
"He got good jumps on the baseballs, and he made nice throws, he threw to the right bases," Nunnally said. "You know, he thought the game through as he played through each and every situation out there, so he looked good out there."
The road wasn't a perfect one for Schimpf. On August 22, he let a ball pass through his legs, letting the lone run in the game score in a 1-0 loss to the Binghamton Mets. Its all part of the process though.
Schimpf said he felt his confidence grow significantly since he arrived in New Hampshire.
"Yeah, absolutely, it's [confidence] been getting better and better each day," Schimpf said. "Just keep on working every day and take the right aproach to the game."
Schimpf's unique ability to fit into a number of positions adds great value to a player who is, for the most part, still unknown.
"Well that's pretty rare," Nunnally said. "You don't find many guys who can play multiple positions, but I know these days they're looking more for that, guys who can play multiple positions."
Schimpf said he has no preference to where he plays in the field. He's excited to be playing right now.
When asked about filling the shoes of Eastern League All Stars Mike McDade and Mark Sobolewski, Nunnally said it doesn't seem like an issue for Schimpf.
"I wouldn't say it's a big task," Nunnally said. "I don't think it's just a matter of filling in for those guys, I think he deserved to be up there."
Nunnally said that Schimpf still struggles at times with left-handed pitching. These are the types of mental adjustments that need to be addressed in Schimpf's game. As far as the pop and competitive nature, he's fairly set.
"Just getting much better plate awareness when it comes to facing left handed pitching, he started getting better with that but he has a little ways to go.
"The one thing you know the kid can do, he can square up a fastball," Nunnally added. "So it's just a matter of him understanding plate discipline and things like that."
