Gacitua, R. and Ma, L. and Nuseibeh, Bashar and Piwek, P and de Roek, Anne and Rouncefield, Mark and Sawyer, Peter (2010) Making Tacit Requirements Explicit. In: Second International Workshop on Managing Requirements Knowledge (MARK), 2009. IEEE, pp. 40-44. ISBN 978-1-4244-7694-7
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The importance of tacit knowledge in Requirements Engineering (RE) is widely acknowledged. While valuable work has developed techniques to expose sources of tacit knowledge during requirements elicitation, such techniques are not universally applied and tacit knowledge, continues to negatively affect the quality of the requirements. In this position paper we present a brief review and interpretation of the literature on tacit knowledge that, we believe, is useful for RE. We describe a number of techniques that offer analysts the means to reason about the effect of tacit knowledge and improve the quality of requirements and their management.

Monsters, Inc. [DVD] [1 disc] [Region 1]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Intelligent, funny, adorable, and beautifully animated, MONSTERS, INC. will delight fans of SHREK and TOY STORY, while drawing a new audience of curious, kid-friendly viewers. Billy Crystal and John Goodman make a fiercely funny comedic team as job partners and best friends, Mike (Crystal)--a little green guy with one huge eyeball, and Sulley (Goodman)--a big purple and blue fuzzy guy with dinosaur spikes down his back. Mike and Sully work at MONSTERS, INC., a gigantic corporation that captures the screams of little children and turns them into energy. To make the children scream, the monsters must enter each child's bedroom through the closet door, then deliver a frightening affront. The only problem is, kids aren't scared anymore. And because of this problem, Monsters, Inc. is in a jam. But when one little girl, Boo (Mary Gibbs), follows Sully through her closet door and into the factory, she brings an even more dire issue to the fore: the monsters are actually terrified of children. From Pixar Animation Studios, MONSTERS, INC. is an exciting adventure with a sweet, happy ending.
Both the DVD and VHS releases include the animated short FOR THE BIRDS and a home video exclusive performance of "Put That Thing Back Where It Came From Or So Help Me" created by Mike Wazowski.

Entertainment Weekly
"...Richly original....A story that blends humor, pathos and action into a backdrop as creative as any classic fairytale..."

In very few places in the USA do public address announcers matter so much. This area is one of them.
The Lakers have a wonderful, smooth PA voice in Lawrence Tanter, whose only fault is that he works for the Lakers. The Yankees had Bob Sheppard, who missed turning 100 by four months and was an iconic voice at Yankees Stadium for half a century. Zany Dave Zinkoff, the noted Philadelphia 76ers PA announcer of years gone by, carved his own unique niche in the profession with his manic style.
The Bruins used to have Frank Fallon and Weldon Haire (who also did the Celtics seemingly forever) and currently have Jim Martin. He does well, but if you remember Haire you loved his thick Boston accent (Andre Savahd, Don Mahcotte). Andy Jick did the Celtics after Haire, but now is relegated to college duties while Greg Dickerson and now Eddie Palladino took over. Palladino is very energetic, but doesn't have Tanter's pipes or smooth delivery. John Rooke works Gillette Stadium, but no announcer in the NFL leaves much of any imprint on the landscape of the league or the region he works for.
But in these parts, all discussion on PA announcers starts and stops with the great Sherm Feller, who became a national cult figure as the voice of Fenway Park from 1967 until his death following the 1993 season. Feller parlayed a distinguished radio career into an iconic run as Fenway Park's man at the mike where, along with the late organist John Kiley, made the Fenway experience a very special one for many years. They both gave Fenway a special veneer with organ and announcing at the highest levels. Feller, a comforting and relaxing radio figure for many years in Boston, redefined himself with his unevenly paced, staccato delivery which was imitated by many and loved by all.
Feller died in January of 1994. He was replaced by Leslie Sterling, the second female PA announcer in MLB. She worked two seasons, then Ed Brickley took over in 1996 and worked until the 2002 season. Both Sterling and Brickley did well, but neither made a lasting impression on the masses. Brickley did work the famous 1999 All-Star Game and got to introduce Ted Williams, but never really mastered his craft; he never was able to pronounce "Nomar Garciaparra" with a fluent delivery, he always seemed to lurch his way through that long and unique name.
In 2003, a new voice emerged at Fenway. Along with the World Series wins that would follow, this new voice managed to do what Carl Yastrzemski did in 1961: He managed to take over for a legend. Finally, after all this time, Feller had his replacement, someone who could actually match Feller in just about every area other than longevity.
Carl Beane had arrived as a local sports icon. He redefined the "voice of Fenway" with his booming voice, his stately and pronounced delivery, his near-perfect diction, and a presence that seemed at times regal and even godlike. Beane pulled off the impossible in making the general public look to him as the real voice of Fenway, moving gently and gradually away from Feller.
Sadly, Beane passed away on Wednesday, a cruel and sudden jolt to the entire Red Sox organization and all its fans. Beane was driving alone in his car in Sturbridge, a small town at Exit 9 of the Mass Pike which is known for its 1700s-style museum, when he apparently suffered a heart attack and skidded off the road, smashing into a brick wall. He was pronounced dead at a hospital in Southbridge. He was 59 years old.
Beane's loss sent shock waves throughout Red Sox Nation. David Ortiz talked of Beane as being "family" and viewed the loss as a member of the family passing away. Adrian Gonzalez said that "news like this is never good" and offered his prayers for Beane's family. A good portion of the NESN broadcast on Wednesday night (with the Red Sox losing 4-3 to Kansas City) was devoted to tributes to Beane.
Beane's death hits very hard back on his home turf. For an area of Massachusetts which often times can feel disenfranchised from the rest of the state, both in perception and politics, Beane was a jewel in western Massachusetts. He was born and raised in Agawam, a Springfield suburb which boasts Six Flags New England (formerly Riverside Park) as its claim to fame. He spent a lot of time in the rural town of Ware, and resided in the tiny hamlet called Holland, which borders an even smaller town named Wales and the biggest nearby town is Brimfield. Given how little attention Boston pays to Springfield, Northampton, Greenfield and Pittsfield (some people in the east do not acknowledge Massachusetts west of Worcester), having Beane at the epicenter of Fenway every day and night was a very proud badge of honor for all of the 413 area code.
Beane was the complete package. If anyone could succeed Feller as the preeminent voice of Fenway, it was Beane. In tribute to Feller, Beane kept a picture of the previous occupant of his chair and said "Sherm, help me out!" before each game. Beane loved his job passionately, respected the work of his predecessors, and was one of the few people out there who truly worked a labor of love.
Beane will live on forever thanks to his being heard very prominently in the movie Fever Pitch. He graced the various ceremonies at Fenway with his beautiful and elegant voiceovers. He was so good that at times he turned an otherwise mundane job into something that seemed very erudite. He became a "must listen" at Fenway, much the same way Feller was.
To underscore how good Beane was, one need only go back to June of 2008. On an hideous weather day at Fenway, just as the Red Sox were about to play host to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Red Sox welcomed the Celtics to Fenway after just having defeated the Lakers in six games for the NBA title that year. The Celtics braved a driving rainstorm and drove into Fenway on three duck boats (the amphibious ability of those vehicles was almost put to use), and the delirious but soaked Fenway crowd roared in delight.
Then Beane took over, introducing all the dignitaries who showed up. By the time it came to announce Kevin Garnett, Beane roared "K-G! Kevin Garnett!" The next player was Paul Pierce. "The captain -- and the Truth! Number 34, Paul Pierce!" Palladino never made those sound nearly as good. It made you wish Beane worked the Garden as well. Kiley did both Fenway and the old Garden, why not Beane? Not to diss Palladino, whose energy is always appreciated at the Garden. But he simply doesn't have the pipes Beane had.
Beane now works for someone upstairs who also speaks in booming tones. Red Sox Nation will pause and remember Beane on Thursday night, but everyone will be wondering who will deliver the announcement for a moment of silence, who is batting leadoff for the Red Sox, and wishing everyone a safe drive home. Beane's death leaves a gaping hole in the Fenway experience. It took Beane almost ten years to come along after Feller's death. Will we have to wait ten years for the next Carl Beane?
We'll deal with that later. Right now, it's about his wife, children and grandchildren who deserve our thoughts and prayers.
And for remembering Beane, and one of the most remarkable non-baseball achievements in the history of the Red Sox. He actually replaced a legend.

There is a frame at the very end of the video, that had some text on it. That text was:
Interesting. When I'm a bit more awake I'll look at this.
Wonder if blizz have plans to take this system outside games on the desktop or if it's gonna stay inside?( not like i care so much about that, just fun to know :D )
He makes good points in this :)Personally I'm just using realid for people I know in the real world.
I only have one girl as a real ID friend now. Our experiences with it so far have been very nice.The name thing, i dont know. Everyone who is my facebook friend knows my full real name. Everyone who works with me knows my full real name. When i create something official and post it on the net, i have to sign it with my full real name. Whats the fuss about someone knowing my real name? Sure it could be a problem in certain rare scenarios, like when Lore or Justin Timberlake would play WoW, they will now start to get a lot of requests because they are famous... but for a normal guy like me, well, i think the feature is okay.Something that really surprised me about the RealID... if you think about it, it is natural that it works that way, cause it would be weird if it didnt, but just the thought seems kinda blasphemous for me... you can actually chat ingame with someone who is in the opposing faction. Its a fully Alliance/Horde independent chat. I am on a PvP realm, so i see it as quite a thing. Sure its only a 1:1 chat, but still... it has a lot of possibilities.
You could always be in vent with someone on the opposing faction in the same server.
I'd really like to see an app that can be downloaded outside of the game that lets you log in and talk to everyone on wow without actually needing to have the game installed. Would be great for when I'm at friends' houses who don't play. This real-id would work perfect with that.
The ones who don't like the Real-ID system are the really really old fat males who are playing as hot blood/night elves and have a online boyfriend.Will the boiyfriend still love them after they find out their real name is Bruce King?
My real objection is that Blizzard clearly states that this is for forming new friendships, but then says it's only for people you're already friends with. I can deal with the service being crippled by the facebook deal or whatever; I'm much less happy about them lying about it.As to "real" names:There is a widespread myth that there is a single set of words which is your "legal name" and that this set of words has magical powers. It is not so. I have two birth certificates in different names. I almost never do anything using the name that's on my passport and state ID; I do everything under a slightly different name that's easier to spell, and which I have an easier time getting automated systems to accept. That's fine. It's not illegal to do things under a name other than the one on your government ID, as long as you're not doing so to defraud people.But neither of those names is, IMHO, my "real" name. My real name is seebs. That's what everyone calls me. Real ID won't let me show up to my friends by the name they know me by. That's stupid.
If you don't want people to know your real name, why would you want to give them your email address?The people that are complaining about their name being given out to people that they are giving their EMAIL ADDRESS to; then they need to be slapped upside the head many many many many times.

If you (or, more likely, your tween- or teenage daughter) have been thinking of henna tattoos as a harmless and less-permanent alternative to regular tattoos, you may have some rethinking to do. People around the country who've had what they thought were henna tattoos are reporting redness, blisters, lesions, permanent scarring, and some have ended up in hospital emergency rooms.
The problem is that there's a big difference between plant-based reddish-brown henna, which is perfectly safe, and "black henna," which is really a coal-tar based hair dye that contains a nasty chemical called p-phenylenediamine (PPD), which a lot of people are allergic to. Oh, and even though it's supposedly okay for hair, PPD has been outlawed in many countries for use in any cosmetics that are designed to be applied directly to the skin.
So this Spring and Summer, before you pay for your henna tattoo, make the artist is using the real stuff. Your first hint should be the color. Real henna is not black and the stains it leaves on the skin aren't either. The same is true for other colors: real henna isn't blue, yellow, green, or purple. And if you do have a henna tattoo that's started to itch, burn, blister, or worse, get medical attention right away.
Here are some recommendations/warnings from the Henna Page:
- PPD paste is jet black.
- Ask how long it takes to stain and how long it lasts. If the answers are "just an hour or two" and "a week or more", it's PPD.
- Ask what colour it will give. If the answer is "pure black", it's PPD.
- Ask to see an ingredients list. If the artist can't supply one, or you don't like what you see, walk away.

Economics can't say what's fair, but it can help with divorce settlements by showing who is really getting what and how to make the best out of a bad situation.
Take Frank and Stacy Loveless. Frank's 45, Stacy's 38. He's a dentist; she's a dietitian. They live in Saint Louis with their two girls, ages 7 and 3. The couple met in Frank's dentist chair a decade ago.
Stacy asked him out and, boy, what a wedding and what a great marriage until, well, things changed. Their main goal now is settling their affairs without declaring war or wasting their assets or an extended legal battle.
Not easy. Stacy's never been great with numbers. But she's nobody's lunch meat and isn't sure Frank's offer is all that generous. Frank is the big earner, netting $150K a year. Stacy earns $30K. The dental practice, were Frank to sell, is worth $300K. The couple has $700K in regular assets, which they invest conservatively and expect to earn 3% after inflation. They also own a $300K house with a $200K mortgage, which they are paying off in 15 years. Frank has $300K in his 401(k).
For 10 Ways To Make Divorce Less Taxing, click here.
Frank is offering Stacy the house and half their regular assets. He'd keep his practice, his 401(k) and live in a rental at $2,000 per month. He'd also pay $15K per year per child in child support (not adjusted for inflation), pay $40,000 (adjusted for inflation) for college for four years for each child, but nothing in alimony. Frank claims this is more than fair.
Let's listen to their exchange.
"Look Stacy, I'm giving you half our assets and the house."
"Whoa big fella. Aren't you forgetting the mortgage?"
"Well, OK, but there's only 15 years left, and the interest is deductible."
"I may not have enough deductions to itemize."
"Well, all the money in my 401(k) is taxable on withdrawal."
"Yes, Frank, but you're making five times my salary."
"Right, and paying 10 times your taxes."
"You can sell your practice."
"Not until I stop working."
"I'm a lot younger. My money has to last longer."
"You have more years to earn."
"You're paying $2,000 a month to rent an identical house, while I have all the housing expenses."
"You can sell the house when you retire and rent the same type of place."
"Your Social Security is going to be much higher than mine."
"Well, dear, let's not forget Social Security divorcée benefits."
"My own retirement benefit will wipe out my divorcée benefits."
"What do you know about Social Security?"
"A lot more than you, apparently."
"Trust me, this is a great offer."
"Don't patronize me."
"Stop calling me cheap."
"See you in court!"
Is Frank being generous? Or is Frank being a cheap (fill in the blank)? More precisely, is Frank setting himself up to have a much higher living standard than Stacy?
ESPlanner, which (full disclosure) my company markets for $149 at www.esplanner.com, can readily calculate each party's living standard based on the proposed deal taking all the demographic, child support, earnings, asset, alimony, housing, tax and Social Security benefit factors into account. You just run the program for Frank and Stacy as separate single individuals and compare their living standards under whatever divorce settlement is being contemplated.
Turns out that Stacy's right. Frank's living standard (discretionary spending) is $43,326 a year, measured in today's dollars. He can spend this amount annually, straight through age 100 (his maximum age of life and proper planning horizon) after he has covered his taxes, child support, college tuition and rent.
Stacy's living standard is only $18,978. This is what she gets to spend on herself through age 100 after providing the kids with the same living standard as she enjoys and after covering her taxes and housing expenses.
Of course a lot depends on Frank being able to work until 65. If his aching back ends his career at 60, his sustainable living standard falls to $34,218. But this is still almost 80% higher than Stacy's.
Once Stacy generates these figures, shows Frank the software, and convinces him the results are right, she starts lobbying for $25,000 per year in alimony (not adjusted for inflation) through Frank's age 65–the retirement age assumption Stacy continues to make. This only lowers Frank's living standard to $38,266 because it's time-limited and because Frank can exclude his alimony payments from his taxable income. But the alimony is, again, time-limited and taxable, so it raises Stacy's living standard to only $23,463.
Stacy's still 39% behind the eight ball, but this is the most she can get from Frank without going to court and facing a judge who may split the assets 50-50 and award zero alimony, or alimony that only lasts for a transitional period.
After reaching this agreement, Frank and Stacy start helping each other tweak their plans. They first try having Stacy wait until 90 to sell the house. This raises her living standard to $26,730. Then Stacy discovers that she can collect a Social Security divorcée benefit (over $17,000 in today's dollars) starting at her full retirement age of 67, and wait until age 70 to collect her own earned by benefit instead. By waiting until 70, she'll receive a 24% higher retirement benefit. This raises her living standard to $27,504. They also agree she should contribute $5,000 a year to a Roth IRA. This raises her sustainable living standard to $28,121–20% above its initial value!
Frank and Stacy have also come up with some great financial moves for Frank that more than offset the burden of paying alimony. As a result, Frank is thinking of upping his alimony payment. And the more he thinks about it, the more he realizes that Stacy should have a living standard that's closer to the one he'll enjoy. Frank also realizes that he barely escaped waging a terribly expensive and unjust legal fight based on his mistaken assessment of what was really fair.
What's are the takeaways from Frank and Stacy's ultimately amicable divorce? First, our finances are incredibly complex–so complex that no one can possibly know, without the right tool, what's a fair divorce settlement. Second, economics is now in a position to help people understand what is and is not a fair divorce settlement. And third, divorce can be a win-win proposition.

Warner Chilcott plc (NASDAQ:WCRX) delivered a profit and beat Wall Street's expectations, AND beat the revenue expectation. The revenue beat is a positive sign to shareholders seeking high growth out of the company.
Warner Chilcott plc Earnings Cheat Sheet
Results: Adjusted Earnings Per Share decreased 4.21% to $0.91 in the quarter versus EPS of $0.95 in the year-earlier quarter.
Revenue: Decreased 5.24% to $612 million from the year-earlier quarter.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Warner Chilcott plc reported adjusted EPS income of $0.91 per share. By that measure, the company beat the mean analyst estimate of $0.73. It beat the average revenue estimate of $565.21 million.
Quoting Management: "Gibraltar delivered stronger financial results in 2012 than it did in 2011, and we are confident that we can extend this record of bottom-line growth during the year ahead," said Lipke. "This confidence is based on four factors. First, we are becoming increasingly optimistic about the sustainability of the positive trends we are currently seeing in the majority of our end markets. As a result, we expect the leverage we have on a lower cost structure to result in expanded margins and improved profitability. Second, we will no longer be incurring the major restructuring charges related to our West Coast integration that we incurred this past year. Third, we completed three acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2012, funded from our existing cash, which we expect to be accretive in 2013. And fourth, we will have the benefit of lower interest expense in 2013 as a result of the very successful bond refinancing we completed three weeks ago….In light of the progress we have made internally and the brighter end-market outlook, we are optimistic about Gibraltar's prospects for growth on both the top and bottom lines in 2013."

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail SynopsisAt long last, Madea returns to the big screen in Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail. This time America's favorite irreverent, pistol-packin' grandmomma is raising hell behind bars and lobbying for her freedom...Hallelujer! After a high-speed freeway chase puts Madea (Tyler Perry) in front of the judge, her reprieve is short-lived as anger management issues get the best of her and land her in jail. A gleeful Joe (Tyler Perry) couldn't be happier at Madea's misfortune. But Madea's eccentric family members the Browns (David and Tamala Mann) rally behind her, lending their special "country" brand of support. Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke) is on the fast track to career success. But Hardaway lands a case too personal to handle - defending young prostitute and former drug addict Candace Washington (Keisha Knight Pulliam) - and asks his fiancée and fellow ADA Linda Holmes (Ion Overman) to fill in on his behalf. When Candace ends up in jail, Madea befriends the young woman, protecting her in a "motherly" way as only Madea can. Based on Perry's successful stage play, Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail is written, and directed by Tyler Perry. The film is produced by Reuben Cannon. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail also stars Ronreaco Lee, Vanessa Ferlito, Viola Davis, Robin Coleman, Sophia Vergara, and Bobbie Baker.

Lickety-split miso soup
I have been feeling a cold coming on, and have noticed it in the kids as well. Feeling a little under the weather...miso soup delicious, and is simple to make. High in protein, rich in vitamins and minerals gives me the boost I need.
There are several different kinds of miso paste. Generally the darker the color the saltier. I prefer the lighter miso, it is sweeter.
Miso soup
serves 4
2 tbsp of miso paste
4 cups water
2 tbsp dried shitake mushrooms- crumbled
1/4 cup tofu- cubed
1 tbsp wakame seaweed
1/2 tsp Mirin
green onion- sliced (optional)
In a medium pot add water and miso, stir until it is dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients, and gently heat. Don't boil it breaks down the miso!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Managing financial data is often a nightmare for small business owners. Most can't afford pricey accountants, and few have the bookkeeping and organizational skills to do the job well themselves.
Enter InDinero, a startup taking aim at that problem.
The site, which founder Jessica Mah calls "the Mint.com for small businesses," offers business owners a dashboard for real-time financial tracking, modeling and forecasting. A snazzy visual interface helps hammer home the meaning of the numbers -- like a "cash runway" gauge that shows how many months of financial fuel a company has in its tank.
A recent grad of venture firm Y Combinator, InDinero launched two months ago to glowing reviews and recently closed a $1 million financing round. The site has already attracted 4,000 business clients using the system to track $400 million -- and Mah says it's already profitable.
"More than three-quarters of our customers never used any accounting before," Mah said. "We expected other programs to be our biggest hurdle -- instead, it's combating inertia."
Mah is painfully familiar with the problem she is trying to solve. She launched her first business when she was 13 years old, and continued in the entrepreneurial vein throughout high school. Whether she was selling website templates on eBay (EBAY, Fortune 500) or running a server hosting site, the financial details were always a headache.
"I was generating a lot of revenue, but my margins weren't good," Mah said. "Even though I knew that, I couldn't figure out a way to solve my problems."
Mah tried to use accounting programs like Intuit's (INTU) QuickBooks, but found them time-consuming and lacking details.
"I wanted to see, for example, how long my company could survive if my revenue dried up overnight," Mah said.
InDinero can show you that. Mah and her business partner, Andy Su, met in college at the University of California's Berkeley campus. They started chatting about their problems with business accounting software, and expanded the discussion to other classmates who'd tried to launch companies.
The stories were the same: Entrepreneurs didn't want to spend a lot of time on complicated software or daunting math. They wanted a quick way to see their finances at a glance. Mah and Su compiled the ideas and began building InDinero in March 2009.
"Twitter and Facebook are fun, but they don't fix business problems," Mah said. "We wanted to create solutions."
Mah met with more than 50 accountants and business owners for tips, but the results weren't encouraging.
"A lot of investors told us it would be really difficult because businesses want so many things," Mah said. "And it's a finance application, which doesn't sound very sexy."
The original plan was to create accounting software, but Mah and Su decided to instead create what they call "a real-time financial dashboard." They focused on the user interface, opting to start with clean graphics and worry about the gritty math details later.
Mah, a computer science graduate, said she built the site around "the idea of what the perfect bank will look like in the year 2100." Setup takes less than 3 minutes, and InDinero pulls in past transactions from businesses' debit, credit and checking accounts.
The site displays graphs detailing how much is business is making, as well as how much it's spending across categories like payroll and travel. Users can also see forecasts for their next 18 months, including the impact of events like hiring a new employee or increasig their Web server costs.
But unlike Mint.com, which relies on advertising to make money, InDinero isn't completely free. Basic accounts come gratis, but businesses with more than 50 transactions a month will need to shell out $30 a month. An enterprise account, for companies with more than 500 monthly transactions, costs $100 a month.
InDinero is currently run by a five-person team -- and they all live together in a Mountain View apartment. Mah hasn't yet paid herself a salary.
She says she'd rather use profits to hire new employees. After all, she's taken to heart the lesson her software illustrates: "Managing money is hugely important for small businesses."
