A baby doll peeks through lace stockings and a dark overcoat, surrounded by shattered glass. A single silver flat shoe lies a few feet away and, on a nearby staircase, a plastic safety cap preserves a half bottle of children's cough syrup.
From the late 1960s until 2002, this two-story apartment was one of 200 the Durham Housing Authority rented to low-income families, clustered across 20 acres of sloping, mostly treeless fields behind Fayetteville Street. In 2007, after DHA lost more than $800,000 in a failed attempt to convert the aging complex into for-profit, Section 8 housing, Philadelphia-based Campus Apartments bought the property for $4 million with its own plan for low-income housing: off-campus apartments reserved exclusively for low-income students at nearby North Carolina Central University.
The project could revitalize the northern end of Fayetteville Street, alleviate N.C. Central's overcrowded dorms and relieve DHA of some of its debt. Yet, there are several hitches in the deal that could jeopardize the project's success.
A prepared statement from N.C. Central Public Relations Director Miji Bell said, "We have had exploratory dialogue with Campus Apartments about how the property might be developed and, as Campus Apartments plans for development of the site, we look forward to further discussions."
Campus Apartments spokesperson Erin Allsman noted that "some of the details are not yet final," but declined to elaborate. The company, which owns or manages more than 21,000 "off-campus" beds loosely affiliated with 50 universities, bills itself as one of the largest student-housing companies in the United States.
Backed by that clout, Campus Apartments contracted with N.C. Central on another dicey—but, for Campus Apartments, lucrative—project: Campus Crossing. Under that agreement, the university paid the company to lease all 564 units in the apartment complex, even if there were vacancies. N.C. Central terminated that agreement earlier this year, after acknowledging it had cost the school more than $5 million over four years.
However, DHA supports the idea of offering student housing on the site. "We made a really good deal for that property. We acted as quickly as possible to get what was necessary for the taxpayers and to do the right thing for the property that suited everybody involved," said Jean Bolduc, DHA director of communications.
Fayette Place's recent troubles began in 2002, when DHA sold the project for $1 to its for-profit (but tax-free) subsidiary, Fayette Place, LLC, which planned to convert the community to Section 8-subsidized housing. Under Section 8, qualified low-income families rent from landlords who agree to participate in the program. The public housing authority covers part of the rent.
Yet, without authorization from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, DHA financed its business venture by "inappropriately advancing funds and guaranteeing loans for nonfederal development" totaling more than $700,000, according to a 2004 HUD audit. Within two years, Fayette Place, LLC had defaulted on its loans; HUD found that DHA owed roughly $829,000 on the property.
Mired in debt as a result of the botched deal and other unapproved financial transactions totaling $5.3 million, DHA never renovated the apartments. Nevertheless, a few dozen residents stayed in the mostly abandoned complex, until Campus Apartments agreed to purchase the property in 2007.
"We had all this debt," Bolduc said. "If we feel that housing is going to start costing tons of money to maintain, and keep to a certain standard, then you reach that fish-or-cut-bait stage."
There were other bidders for the property, but DHA got a waiver from HUD to negotiate exclusively with Campus Apartments. Its proposed conversion of Fayette Place from public to student housing is possible only because of a contractual obligation to reserve at least 168 beds—or 84 two-bedroom units—for students who are "designated and qualified by NCCU as deserving of need."
If N.C. Central does not participate in the deal, Campus Apartments must instead offer a housing complex with the same number of beds for other low-income people.
"It had to be reused for affordable housing purposes," Bolduc said. "That required that HUD sign off on the sale. If we wanted to sell it to McDonald's for them to build a restaurant, we wouldn't have been able to do that."
Already, DHA has used roughly half of the money from the $4 million sale to pay off the debt on Fayette Place and to reimburse HUD an additional $1 million for "inappropriately advancing funds" to other projects. Bolduc said the amount of DHA's remaining debt to HUD is "in dispute." The remaining money from the Campus Apartments sale—$2.1 million—can't be used to pay off that debt.
"It's not something we know yet," Bolduc said. "It [the debt] may outlive us all."

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Government troops and Russian-backed separatists largely suspended hostilities in east Ukraine Tuesday in a fresh attempt to revive a largely ignored cease-fire deal.
The lull in fighting followed a proposal by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to hold a "day of silence" as a precursor to a possible long-standing settlement.
The seven-month long conflict has left more than 4,300 people dead, displaced hundreds of thousands and exhausted a nation struggling to stave off economic collapse.
Separatist rebel leaders have supported the truce, which appeared to be holding around the main rebel-held cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
Viktor Myzhenko, chief of Ukraine's General Staff, said at a midday briefing that there had been two violations of the truce Tuesday morning around the town of Debaltseve, which has been scene of some of the heaviest shelling.
Myzhenko said the truce was open-ended and that no end date had been set.
Intense shelling continued right up until the eve of the cut-off period for hostilities, causing at least four deaths and injuries to 10 people. Local authorities said 20 residential buildings were damaged in rebel-controlled Donetsk.
Poroshenko's office earlier this week announced new peace talks involving Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to be held Tuesday in the capital of Belarus, Minsk. Vasiliy Vovk, head of the Ukrainian security services' investigative department, said Monday night that the talks had been pushed back to Friday.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov struck a conciliatory note Tuesday, suggesting that Moscow could support the return of separatist areas into Ukraine's fold. Lavrov told state news agency RIA-Novosti that rebels were ready "to restore a common economic, humanitarian and political space" with Ukraine.
Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed to this report.

Employee Service Awards
Please save the date for the annual Employee Service Award program. This year
the event will be held on April 25, 2018 from 3-5 p.m. on the 5th floor of InfoCision Stadium.
Click the link below to see a list of employees who have reached service
milestones of 5, 10, 15,20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 years.
Service Milestones
Part-time faculty do not need to track hours in EmpCenter
At the request of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, The University has evaluated its current practice of tracking part-time faculty clock hours for the Affordable Care Act and has determined that change is warranted.
Beginning with the Fall 2017 semester, part-time faculty will no longer be required to log their clock hours in the EmpCenter time and attendance system. Instead of logging clock hours, the University will rely on IRS guidance that allows the use of a "reasonable" method to calculate clock hours.
The maximum load hours assigned to part-time faculty members will remain at 9 credits per semester and all part-time faculty will continue to be responsible for notifying their chair of assignments in other departments.
New Post-Retirement Program Options
The University offers post-retirement employment options. Please visit the links below for more information on these programs.
- Transition After Retirement Program (TARP) - designed to allow full-time faculty to transition from active employment into retirement with limited duties, by maintaining a presence on campus through a variety of means.
- Reemployment After Retirement Under Rule 3359-11-15 (REM) - designed for full-time University of Akron employees who are eligible to retire from an Ohio pension system. This rule applies to all employees other than members of a bargaining unit in which an agreement governs the reemployment of retirees.
- Phased Retirement Program (PRP) - designed to allow eligible contract professional and staff employees to retire from their regular full-time positions and continue to contribute to the success of the University and its students on a part-time basis.

On Saturday hackers launched a "significant and tenacious" cyber attack on Lockheed Martin, a major defense contractor holding highly sensitive information, but its secrets remained safe.
Lockheed Martin, the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon confirmed that the contractor's information systems had come under attack. Lt. Col. April Cunningham, speaking for the Defense Department, said the impact on the Pentagon "is minimal and we don't expect any adverse effect."
Still, the concerted attempt to breach the contractor's systems underscored the risk to the nation's critical defense data. Chris Ortman, Homeland Security spokesman, said his agency and the Pentagon were working with the company to determine the breadth of the attack and "provide recommendations to mitigate further risk."
Lockheed Martin said in a statement that it detected the May 21 attack "almost immediately" and took countermeasures. As a result, "our systems remain secure; no customer, program or employee personal data has been compromised." The company's security team is still working to restore employee access to the targeted network. Neither Lockheed Martin nor the federal agencies revealed specifics of the attack.
As the threat of devastating cyber attacks across all sectors continues to increase, the vast majority of companies (73%) have not purchased network liability policies, according to a 2011 Risk and Finance Manager survey conducted by global professional services company Towers Watson.
Sony wants its insurers to help pay for its massive cyber breach, which could be more than $2 billion.
The White House on Thursday will unveil its blueprint for comprehensive cybersecurity legislation that according to an administration official strikes a critical balance between strengthening security, preserving privacy and civil liberties protection and fostering continued economic growth.

Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows
For Doctor Leonard McCoy, life takes two paradoxically divergent paths. In one, displaced in time, he saves a woman from dying in a traffice accident, and in doing so alters Earth's history. Stranded in the past, he struggles to find a way back to his own century. But living an existence he was not meant to, he will eventually have to move on, and ultimately face the shadows born of his lost life.
In the other, he is prevented from saving the woman's life, allowing Earth's history to remain unchanged. Returning to the present, he is nonetheless haunted by the echoes of an existence he never lived, and by fears which will bring him full circle to the shadows he never faced.

14 design tips for better performance in Datastage
1) Avoid unnecessary type conversions: set the OSH_PRINT_SCHEMAS environment variable to verify that run time schemas match the job design column definitions. If you are using stage variables on a Transformer stage, ensure that their data types match the expected result types.
2) Use Transformer stages sparingly and wisely. Transformer stages can slow down your job. Do not have multiple stages where the functionality could be incorporated into a single stage, and use other stage types to perform simple transformation operations
3) Increase Sort performance where possible. Careful job design can improve the performance of sort operations, both in standalone Sort stages and in on-link sorts specified in the Inputs page Partitioning tab of otherstage types.
4) Remove Unneeded Columns. Remove unneeded columns as early as possible within the job flow. Every additional unused column requires additional buffer memory, which can impact performance and make each row transfer from one stage to the next more expensive. If possible, when reading from databases, use a select list to read just the columns required, rather than the entire table.
5) Avoid reading from sequential files using the Same partitioning method. Unless you have specified more than one source file, this will result in the entire file being read into a single partition, making the entiredownstream flow run sequentially unless you explicitly repartition
The environment variable APT_STRING_PADCHAR can be used to change the default pad character from an ASCII NULL (0×0) to another character; for example, an ASCII space (Ox20) .
6)It is important to note that the individual SQL statements required by a Sparse Lookup are an expensive operation from a performance perspective. In most cases, it is faster to use a DataStage Join stage between the input and DB2 reference data than it is to perform a Sparse Lookup.
7) For scenarios where the number of input rows is significantly smaller (1:100 or more) than the number of reference rows in a DB2 or Oracle table, a Sparse Lookup may be appropriate. CPU-intensive applications, which typically perform multiple CPUdemanding operations on each record, benefit from the greatest possible parallelism, up to the capacity supported by your system.
8)Parallel jobs with large memory requirements can benefit from parallelism if they act on data that has been partitioned and if the required memory is also divided among partitions.
9)Applications that are disk- or I/O-intensive, such as those that extract data from and load data into RDBMSs, benefit from configurations in which the number of logical nodes equals the number of disk spindles being accessed. For example, if a table is fragmented 16 ways inside a database or if a data set is spread across 16 disk drives, set up a node pool consisting of 16 processing nodes.
10)For some jobs, especially those that are disk-intensive, you must sometimes configure your system to prevent the RDBMS from having either to redistribute load data or to re-partition the data from an extract operation.
11) The speed of communication among stages should be optimized by your configuration. For example, jobs whose stages exchange large amounts of data should be assigned to nodes where stages communicate by either shared memory (in an SMP environment) or a high-speed link (in an MPP environment). The relative placement of jobs whose stages share small amounts of data is less important.
12)Turn off Runtime Column propagation wherever it's not required.
13) If you are using a copy or a filter stage either immediately after or immediately before a transformer stage, you are reducing the efficiency by using more stages because a transformer does the job of both copy stage as well as a filter stage
14)If you have a single input and single output when you are using a copy stage then set the force option to tru so that DataStage should not try to optimize the job by removing the Copy operation.

- For the mission in GTA III, see Turismo (mission). For the race in GTA Vice City Stories, see Turismo (race).
The Turismo is a supercar featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, appearing in different forms in each game.
The Turismo debuted in GTA San Andreas, where it appears to be a mid-engined sports car based on the Ferrari F40 with a modified spoiler and rear design. Although the F40 is rear wheel drive, the Turismo is 4-wheel-drive. Regardless, it is one of the fastest and best handling cars in the game. The engine in the Turismo in GTA San Andreas could very well be a Twin Turbo V8, just like the F40, because it sounds and performs just like it. At Zero RC in Garcia, San Fierro, there are boxes of a model car based on the Turismo but called the "Tourismo".
The Turismo is also a drivable vehicle in GTA IV, based on the Ferrari 360, and the similarly designed Ferrari F430. In the game, the car is manufactured by the fictional company Grotti, the GTA equivalent to Ferrari. There are two aesthetic variants, one with flat slatted grills and another with scooped intakes, both over the rear wheels. According to Autoeroticar.com, the engine is a 4.0L Quad Cam V8, possibly turbocharged. It is one of the fastest cars in the game - according to the game files it has a maximum speed of 214mph. It is the second-fastest of the supercars, and also the easiest to find (See Locations below).The tremendous speed of this vehicle can eject the player through the windshield. Upon delivery of all thirty cars for Stevie, (whereupon he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic), the Turismo may fetch the player $11,000.
All Turismos in GTA IV come with horn alarms, but the one at Mikhail Faustin's house will not trigger when Niko opens the door because it is unlocked. However, if you damage the car in any way, the alarm will go off regardless of whether you're in the car or not.
GTA San Andreas
- Importable from Easter Basin (San Fierro) after completing export lists, only on Monday. Import cost: $76,000.
- Driving around along The Strip, Las Venturas
- Can also be obtained with the cheat code for sports cars.
- In Beachgate, the gated community east of the funfair in Broker, there is a Turismo parked beside the Faustin residence.
- Parked outside a home on Owl Creek Avenue in Westdyke, Alderney for Stevie's Car Thefts.
- There is a Grotti dealership on the road adjacent to Niko's Middle Park East Safehouse in Algonquin. There are 8 Turismos in this dealership. Stealing one gives the player a 1-star wanted level, even if there is no police presence in the area.
- Can be found in the district of Little Italy in Algonquin.
- In Jeff's last mission, he is run over by a Turismo - the driver gets scared and flees the scene leaving the car.
- Can also be obtained with a cheat code.
- Randomly appears whilst player is driving a Super GT or other supercars.

Excellent EFF post on failures of Cryptography regulation
3 Comments · Posted by lance in Computer Security, Cryptography, First Amendment, Innovation, Internet, legal, Legislation, National Security, Online Privacy, Personal Privacy, Security Breaches, Surveillance
The EFF has an excellent article on eight reasons why government regulation of cryptography is a bad idea.
The short answer is: the bad guys can easily get it and use it anyway, and it will make security for the rest of us much worse (not including the big brother surveillance and constitutional issues).

As we have seen with gun control, if you outlaw guns, then only the outlaws have guns! The theory of allowing government to regulate PGP has come and gone, likewise restricting or watering down encryption standards will fail us in two aspects.
First, if the U.S. can break it, you know the Chinese can too since we educate much of their high tech industry at our finest schools. Second, if substandard encryption is available to U.S. citizens with the threat of being cracked, it could chill the production of intellectual property since there's no way to keep it secure.
Of course, we need to trust government they will not abuse its power or that someone within government would susceptible to be bribed to commit industrial espionage. Remember not long ago a task force was seeking a spy within its ranks. Who was placed in charge of the task force–the chief of counter-intelligence—who turned out to be the spy! See https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol-52-no-1/the-movie-breach-a-personal-perspective.html
In short, keep encryption secure, beyond reach of of government and most important–out of reach of competitors. In the long run it keeps us safer.

The number of "criminals" in the US who actually even bother to use encryption is extremely small. The government shouldn't have access like this. It weakens the whole system and leaves our entire cryptological framework wide open to attack. Also, there's really not much stopping people from downloading GPG, TrueCrypt, et al. If regs were changed, these projects would have to move underground, but would likely still exist. It may become necessary to download encryption software from a foreign source (GPG4Win comes from Germany).

Unique aim training for gamers
Cybersport (computers, competitions in computer games) – this is the last step in the evolution of sports. And so it obeys all the laws of great sport. In all sports there are special exercises designed to ensure that the athlete as quickly as possible develops the technique of movement, certain elements, strokes, tricks, etc. Let's analyse some classic sports examples For example, you do not need to go far. Let's take hockey. Any professional hockey player with a high probability will hit hard and accurately in the right place of the gate. After all, it is necessary to score a goal. During the match, the player makes only a few shots on the goal, and in order to train in this way a quality throw, the hockey player will need a huge amount of time. But to speed up the training process, special exercises were invented – the hockey player rejecting the "extra" (the goalkeeper and the players) puts the puck into different positions and performs throws on the empty goal repeating them thousands of times until he reaches perfection. Naturally, with the advent of a new sport, there are no exercises for it. They are invented over time and later improved. In the first years of the existence of hockey exercises for him was not and therefore the quality of the game was much lower than the level of our days. This is easy to see by watching any video of the match at least 20 years ago. Let's take tennis. To learn how to properly perform a blow, the tennis player plays with the wall, rotates the special training machines-castors, beats balls fired by special cannons, etc. All this repeats a huge number of times. Not to mention the exercises of general physical training. Football – dribbling, running speed, impact force, stopping technique … all this is practiced by exercises. Poker – yes, so people consider it a sport, how will you learn to plan your strategies or bluff if you won't practise constantly and with different players? Same applies for video poker or all other classic sports, video games, gambling games online at top-casino-bonus.co.uk as well as offline at your local casino. This list can be continued indefinitely. The point is that all these exercises are not as interesting as the game itself, but they improve the quality of the game much faster. And if an athlete wants to become a professional, then he has to fulfill them. This is such a harsh reality! Let's return to cybersport This discipline is the youngest. For it the complexes of exercises, standards and methods of training have not yet been invented. There is nothing of this. But it will be, as e-sports is gaining momentum and is becoming more professional. And having created this site, I decided to take the first step towards exercises for e-sports, and in particular for possession of the mouse. After all, a mouse is the main element in all computer games, both in strategy and in 3D shooters. Now let's see what is Aim? and of what does it consist? After all, in order to start training you need to first know what you need to train. Aim is actually pointing the mouse cursor at the desired point on the screen and pressing mouse1 in a timely fashion. It does not matter what color this point is and on what background it is (if only the colors differ) and the smaller the point, the harder it is to quickly and accurately get into it. Now let's see what it takes to shoot an opponent. You need to get a FIRST on his model and BEFORE him click on Mouse1 at that time, when the mouse cursor (that is, actually the sight) is exactly on the model. It happens like this: first you see an opponent, that is, your eyes notice the model on the screen, send the information about the seen image to the brain, then the brain processes it and transmits the signal to the muscles of the hand and fingers in order that they move the mouse as quickly as possible to the desired place. All this happens in about 0.14-0.24 seconds. And those who previously have all these operations, and that wins in a shooting match (errors associated with shooting during strafe or in flight are not taken into account, this is a separate topic). That is it, you need: Make the mouse move faster than the opponent. This movement should be more correct and accurate (without unnecessary wave-like movements). Pressing the button should be earlier (especially for cases when the enemy model suddenly appears near). Total – three parts. During the game you run around on the map, communicate with the teammates, your head is full of tactics, choice of position, incoming information, etc. And you do not notice at all that you are driving your mouse on the rug at the moment. But all the control of the game is exactly with the mouse and keyboard. All. No more action is needed to play. It turns out all that you see, the whole action is just a keyboard + mouse movement on the carpet! And spending hours on the game you train the very movement of the mouse on the rug. Only, for example, for 2 minutes of time on "meat" or when playing 5×5 you qualitatively shoot with the enemy (that is, practice your aim) at best times 5. On a good DM-e at best times 30. And playing online flash games on this site – more than 250 times!!! Do you feel the difference? This is the very exercise that allows you to train a clear aim, throwing away the rest of the game. Someone will say: "Why should I play an aim game? All the same, I have a different sense in Counter-Strike (or in QUAKE, WARCRAFT or in any other game)."Well, let's go back to the physics of mouse movement. How far do you move the mouse across the carpet when shooting at a long distance? It's only a couple of millimeters, or even less than a millimeter! And now remember what kind of movement on the carpet you do when the enemy suddenly appears close or starts to shoot at you from somewhere behind? This is a sharp move to half the carpet or almost across the entire carpet! In any case, you are trying very quickly to aim at the enemy. The movement of the mouse on the carpet depends on how far away the enemy is from you. You can make a great sense in windows, so you have to do very little mouse movements on the carpet, playing an aim game. This way you will train shooting at long distances. Or you can lower the sense in Windows and playing an aim game, you have to drag the mouse over the entire carpet, training the shooting to the situation when the opponent is close. Or the average sense in Windows, training the average (most common in the game) distance. A sense in Counter-Strike you can set such that it was convenient to turn away from the flash drive. That's all! You need to practise 3 sets of skills: On the quality of aiming: "Exact aiming". On the sharpness of the movement of the mouse: "Fast aiming". On the reaction of pressing Mouse1: "Press reaction". Playing these categories constantly, every day (generally the more, the better), in time you do not recognize yourself. You will be a terminator, shooting fast and accurately in everything that moves. If you play Warcraft, StarCraft or in another strategy, then there will be frantic control and micro control. In the COP you will react to the departing grenades. Not to mention the running or jumping opponents. A shooting in the COP-e, as is known this is 60% of the game. And if you can not shoot an enemy, then it's pointless to train tactics, because the enemy will eventually run out and kill. Just get into the model quickly and accurately. Faster than you. And after that, thoughts and puzzles begin, "What did I do wrong?", "I guess I took the wrong position?", "I guess I should have waited?", "Or did I not need to shoot?" … It was necessary! So have patience and shoot for health! =) The result will be rewarding!

Performance customisation is the basic kind, but there is a little more to visual customisation.

We have experienced impressive growth in the last two years and have outgrown our current laboratories and office space.
Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) December 06, 2013
ColdQuanta, Inc. is expanding to a facility two and a half times larger than its current facility. Currently located on Range Street in Boulder, the new facility is less than two miles away at 3030 Sterling Circle.
"We have experienced impressive growth in the last two years and have outgrown our current laboratories and office space." said Rainer Kunz, CEO of ColdQuanta. He added, "The new location will allow us to acquire new equipment, grow our manufacturing abilities and accommodate future growth."
Previously, ColdQuanta was responsible for the first commercial BEC for use – a milestone in the field. Their technology was responsible for providing the Korea National University with their first ever BEC. ColdQuanta also has transformed the process of producing BEC by creating a table-top version of their system, as well as potentially going where no BEC system has gone before by being a part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory program that is designed to achieve Bose-Einstein Condensation in space aboard the International Space Station.
The employees and management of the company particularly wanted to stay within Boulder and were pleased that the company's current landlord Westland Development had a property available large enough to accommodate ColdQuanta's requirements.
The new 8,200 square foot facility will provide room for additional lab and office space and will also house increased vacuum processing space. Founded in 2007, ColdQuanta is the worldwide commercial leader in devices and equipment designed to create cold and ultracold atoms.
ColdQuanta focuses on the development of BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensate) and cold atom generating devices and systems, allowing them to be accessible to a wide range of research, educational, and industrial institutions. Their products are intended for use in scientific and industrial applications requiring high performance and reliability. The company also provides custom engineering solutions to the cold atom and ultracold atom community.
