CORRECTION: This story originally said that the Pentagon planned to ban the use of .mil e-mail addresses on commercial social media sites, which was incorrect. Military officials say they will soon update their social media policy with privacy and security rules, but do not plan to ban .mil addresses from social media.
In the wake of a dating site hack that exposed personal information on military subscribers, the Defense Department is planning to put new restrictions on how personnel use commercial social media sites.
DOD will soon issue a new policy directing military personnel to use non-mission related contact information, such as phone numbers and e-mail addresses, when establishing personal accounts, Aliya Sternstein reports in NextGov.
Dot-mil e-mail addresses will still be allowed on sites such as Army Knowledge Online, Sternstein writes, but not for commercial sites.

Analysis of a social site hack: Are risks too great for gov workers?
Is Facebook the next cybersecurity nightmare?
DOD has gone back and forth over social media in recent years, trying to balance the benefits of social networking with security concerns. The new policy comes on the heels of a hack that showed the vulnerabilities in some social media sites and raised questions about whether government employees should connect to them from work computers.
In March, the hacker group LulzSec attacked MilitarySingles.com, a commercial website catering to military members, stealing and later posting user names and passwords of 170,937 subscribers, many of whom had .mil addresses.
A subsequent analysis of the attack by data security company Imperva showed the potential weaknesses in sites that allow users to upload content — in this case, photos. Hackers bypassed the site's filters to insert malicious code and then were able to crack poorly protected passwords.
Not every social media site shares the same vulnerabilities — in offering recommendations on how to better improve protection for users of social sites, Imperva cited several Facebook practices — but the report states that sites that allow user-generated content are going to face risks, which could be compounded if the users also work with sensitive information.
"Imperva calls into question if military and government employees should be held to a higher standard when it comes to social networking," the report states. It also concluded that "social networking and the public sector don't mix."
With its pending policy of keeping .mil addresses and other mission-related information out of the social fray, DOD seems to have agreed.
It's the latest turn in DOD's social media policy, which has seen the department ban sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube, then in February 2010 issue a policy allowing use of unclassified .mil computers to access the sites.
At that time, department officials talked about the need for better information sharing, and for accommodating younger users who had come to expect social media access, while making military leaders responsible for cybersecurity.

As a Director of IT at my installation I have been blocking Social Media from the get go. It is not something people should be doing while "at work". It's got more holes than swiss cheese. Not to mention the Bandwidth it sucks up. Sometimes someone has to say NO! Remember Ibsen - Might does not make right....Trust me I catch a lot of flak for it but common sense rules the day.
Home address, cell phone number, and yahoo or gmail account. It should be obvious. Unfortunately, it may be too late. The information is already out there.
Duh!!! Unless it is needed for professional reasons, a mil address should never be used for unofficial business.
This is a new policy? We were always told Government e-mail was NOT to be used for personal business, to include dating or social networking sites. How about enforcing existing policy rather than adding "new restrictions."

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – York College men's cross country sophomore Tim Hartung made program history Saturday, as he is the first Spartan cross country runner to qualify for the NCAA National Championships. On the heels of Hartung's outstanding performance, the Green and White finished 11th overall out of 47 squads with 338 points. The Spartans narrowly missed finishing in the top-ten and were a mere eight points out of ninth place.
Hartung, who has been fantastic for the Green and White all season, traversed the 8K course in 25:50 to secure ninth overall. In a field of 309 runners, Hartung's top-ten finish allows him to capture a spot in the NCAA National Championships on Saturday, November 19, in Winneconne, Wis. This marks another milestone in Hartung's already excellent career. He was the 2011 Capital Athletic Conference champion in the 10,000 meters at the league track & field championships and then took first at the conference cross country meet this season.
Including Hartung's showing, four Spartans finished in the top-100 including three in the top-50. Steven Childres proved the second York finisher as he finished 44th overall. Childres, who was named the CAC Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Year, crossed the finish line in 26:50.
John Wallace, another Spartan first-team All-CAC member, grabbed 50th overall for the York squad. The sophomore finished in a time of 27:01.
Aaron Robertson was the fourth York finisher as he secured 98th with a 27:56. The 2011 CAC Men's Cross Country Rookie of the Year grabbed a solid top-100 spot in his first regional meet.
Michael Stetson, Matt Smith, and Craig Eppler also finished for the Green and White. Stetson gained quality experience as he ran a 28:31 in his first regional meet. Smith and Eppler close out their sophomore campaigns with times of 28:41 and 28:50, respectively.

Tips for saving on Thanksgiving meals
The average cost is up to $246
Tips for saving on Thanksgiving meals
The average cost is up to $246
LANCASTER, Pa. —
The average cost of hosting Thanksgiving dinner is up to $246 and has some Americans saying "no thanks."
Before buying for the meal, a local grocer offers a few tips to help save money.
- Buy fresh produce like potatoes versus buying a potato mix. Anything you can do yourself will save some money.
- Look for coupons on your own, don't just rely on the store to give you coupons. Turkey manufacturer Butterball has been aggressively campaigning and marketing during the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.
- Buy generic brands to save money.
"It's slightly up, but we do a lot of price cuts in the store trying to keep the cost down for the customer," said Mark Reitnauer of Stauffers of Kissel Hill. "We're trying all we can to give the customer the best deal."
After surveying 2,000 adults, Coupon Cabin reported that 15 percent of those who responded said they felt pressured into hosting, because they did not want others to have to foot the bill.

Find this recipe and more in Chef Paul Prudhomme's Always Cooking!.
2 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic®
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic®
1 (2½ to 3 pound) chicken, all visible fat removed, cut into 8 pieces
1 pound peeled shrimp (about 1½ pounds unpeeled)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced ham (about ½ pound) (cured, not salty)
1½ cups chopped onions
¼ cup all purpose flour
1¼ cups dry white wine, in all
2 cups chicken stock
how to prepare
Combine the first two ingredients in a small bowl to make the Seasoning Mix. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the Seasoning Mix over the chicken pieces and rub it in well, and sprinkle 1½ teaspoons of the Seasoning Mix over the shrimp and rub it in well. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over high heat. When the oil is very hot, after about 4 minutes, add the chicken pieces, in batches if necessary, and brown them on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and set aside.
Add the ham to the oil in the skillet and cook, stirring once or twice, for 2 minutes. Add the onions and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix, and cook until a crust forms on the bottom of the skillet, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the crust hardens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet fairly clean. Cook, scraping to keep the mixture from sticking, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, scrape the skillet bottom, and bring to a boil. Stir in the remaining seasoning mix and bring to a rolling boil.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Stir in the remaining ¼ cup wine and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the chicken and any accumulated juices in an ovenproof casserole or baking pan. Arrange the shrimp over the chicken, and pour the sauce over all. Cover the casserole and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - For the next few days, 26-year-old Joy Zhang will be watching her favorite American shows like "Prison Break" on a computer, since China's TV channels will be devoted to state-approved fare for the duration of the Communist Party's once-in-five-years congress.
Shanghai-based Zhang, who works for a manufacturing company, is part of a growing number of young people unimpressed by patriotic period pieces known as "red" dramas that swamp the airwaves at times of major political events.
"As a post-80s child I guess I want to see different cultures, thoughts, ideas and interesting things in this world," Zhang said.
The red dramas, once an effective propaganda tool of the ruling Communist Party and which Zhang had to watch in school, "have nothing new to say", she said.
But with the 18th Party Congress now under way in Beijing, the shows - which glorify the army, the party and ordinary villagers living hardscrabble lives during the early days of the communism - are unavoidable.
"If it's not (family) dramas on TV, then it is all kinds of red dramas, don't tell me I have to watch the news!" complained one microblogger in her twenties.
"I am going to sleep earlier today, there are no interesting TV programs. Red dramas everywhere," said another.
With their effectiveness as a tool to propagate communist thought waning, experts say the government must re-invent the shows if they are to retain any relevance for young viewers.
"Red dramas need to change, for sure. The time is different now," said Xiao Xiao-sui, a professor of media culture and theory at the Hong Kong Baptist University.
According to Aegis Media, from January to July last year viewership for red dramas doubled on some TV channels that have an older audience. On TV channels like Hunan Provincial Satellite TV that have a younger demographic, ratings plunged 80 percent whenever red dramas came on.
A show aired to coincide with the opening of the congress on state-controlled China Central Television is typical of the genre.
"Yangshan Zhou" is a 23-episode series named after a former municipal party secretary, styled as a humble leader of the masses. Zhou, known as the "straw hat secretary", won posthumous awards for being a model cadre, including the 2012 "Touching China" award.
Such flag-waving patriotism is a turn-off for many.
"Red dramas need to be more realistic and not propagate 'party worship' and exaggerate so much...In some red dramas, if a character meets any trouble or danger he will definitely say 'I voluntarily join the Communist Party of China'. When I see this, I usually switch channels," said 26-year-old Qiu Ying.
There are signs that the party is beginning to listen. The recently released "Marching Towards Gunfire" is one of the top three television serials on China's most popular video site Youku. It stars Taiwan heartthrob Nicky Wu.
In a recent episode of the staple wartime drama featuring Japanese soldiers as villains, Wu lights a stick of dynamite by striking it on his sleeve and then kills enemy troops with his bare hands.
The popularity of this show could be due to Wu rather than the plot. Youku Tudou spokeswoman Jean Shao noted that "Marching Towards Gunfire" was indexed as an "idol drama" on the website.
"Youku Tudou users watch more love stories, idol dramas and shows featuring urban, contemporary scenes," she said.
Although red dramas have a long way to go to win the hearts and minds of younger viewers, the shows attract a core audience: older viewers who are comforted by the nostalgia.
While the shows prompt Qiu to reach for the remote control, her father is a loyal fan.
"A good red drama moves your spirit intensely," he said. "I can feel spirit of the Chinese people constantly striving to become stronger... It's very inspiring."

March 19, 2013 14:00 ET
SEATTLE, WA and LUGANO, SWITZERLAND--(Marketwire - Mar 19, 2013) - Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced that it has signed a contract with the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) to upgrade and expand its Cray XC30 supercomputer. When the upgrade and expansion is completed, the Centre's Cray XC system, nicknamed "Piz Daint" after a mountain in the Swiss Alps, will be the first petascale supercomputer in Switzerland.
In September 2012, Cray announced it was awarded a contract to provide CSCS with a 750-teraflop Cray XC30 supercomputer and a Cray Sonexion storage system. Under the terms of this new contract, Cray will upgrade Piz Daint to include NVIDIA® Tesla® K20X GPU accelerators. CSCS is the first customer to order a Cray XC supercomputer with NVIDIA GPUs.
Located in Lugano, Switzerland, CSCS is one of the premier high performance computing (HPC) facilities, and is focused on ensuring the Swiss scientific and industrial communities have the supercomputing resources necessary to stay competitive on an international level. As a result of the upgrade to Piz Daint, the Centre's researchers and scientists will be able to leverage the innovative processor and accelerator technologies featured in the Cray XC supercomputer towards advancing key research in areas such as material science, molecular biology, climate and atmospheric modeling, and geoscience.
"Piz Daint will help advance the research projects of our diverse user community by leaps and bounds," said Thomas Schulthess, director of CSCS. "With GPU acceleration integrated into Cray's latest generation supercomputer, the application performance and the energy efficiency of our simulations will improve significantly. We are very excited about the collaborative development of a truly general-purpose, hybrid multi-core system with Cray."
"The upgrade to Piz Daint into a petascale supercomputing system is yet another example of the strong leadership of CSCS to consistently provide researchers and scientists within the Swiss HPC community with the latest supercomputing technologies," said Dr. Ulla Thiel, Cray vice president, Europe. "We are honored to continue our collaborative partnership with CSCS, and we are very excited to provide CSCS users with the computational tools they need to achieve breakthrough scientific results."
Previously code-named "Cascade," the Cray XC30 supercomputer is Cray's most advanced HPC system and is engineered to meet the performance challenges of HPC users. The Cray XC30 supercomputer features the new Aries system interconnect; a Dragonfly network topology that frees applications from locality constraints; an innovative cooling system that utilizes a transverse airflow to lower customers' total cost of ownership; the next-generation of the scalable, high performance Cray Linux Environment that also supports a wide range of ISV applications; Cray's HPC optimized programming environment; and the ability to handle a wide variety of processor types, including Intel® Xeon® processors, Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors, and NVIDIA Tesla GPU accelerators.
The Cray Sonexion storage system at CSCS has more than two petabytes of usable storage and more than 100 gigabytes-per-second of sustained aggregate IO performance. Cray's Sonexion Lustre System for HPC provides an embedded, compact design that can reduce the overall storage footprint by up to 50 percent over component-based solutions. Sonexion ensures consistency and predictability when scaling Lustre, and offers precision performance, optimal scalability, and an open solution for HPC and Big Data in a compact form factor.
This contract is valued at more than $32 million, and the upgraded system is expected to be operational in 2014.

Plazentare Lokalisation und Expression des pro-apoptotischen "cell death"-Faktors BNIP3 bei hypertensiven Schwangerschaftserkrankungen
Localization and expression of the pro-apoptotic "cell death" factor BNIP3 in placentas from hypertensive pregnancies
Search Medline for
|November 11, 2004
BNIP3 is a pro-apoptotic factor of the Bcl-2-family and is hypoxia-mediated expressed in malignant tumours. Recently it has been shown that placental hypoxia as well as apoptosis are pathogenetic factors for pregnancy-induced hypertensive diseases and IUGR. The aim of the study was to analyse placental expression of BNIP3 in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia or HELLP-syndrome.
Material and methods
Placental tissues was sampled from ten pregnancies with preeclampsia, HELLP-syndrome and gestational age-matched controls. The placental expression of BNIP3 has been investigated with immunohistochemistry by the use of a specific human BNIP3 antibody.
BNIP3 was immunohistochemically detectable in the syncytiotrophoblast, villus stroma and vascular endothelium of each placental sample. The expression is significantly decreased in pregnancies complicated by either preeclampsia (factor 0,62; p<0,05) or HELLP-syndrome (factor 0,54; p<0,05) compared to gestational age-matched control pregnancies.
Pregnancies with placental dysfunction and hypertensive pregnancy disorders with different clinical manifestations are characterized by a significant decreased expression of BNIP3. These results suggest that the in generally accepted hypothesis of increasing placental apoptosis in pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders caused by disturbed trophoblast invasion has to be partly revised.

I set up a quick video tutorial to show how to set up an encrypted tunnel using SSHs dynamic port forwarding (sort of a poor mans VPN) in both Linux and Windows. The tools used are OpenSSH, PuTTY and Firefox, but it should be enough info to allow you to figure out how to set up other clients. Why would you want to do this? Sometime you are on an untrusted network, but have to use protocols that arent completely secure and you dont want someone else on the local LAN sniffing what you are doing. By using SSH dynamic port forwarding you can create and encrypted tunnel to a trusted network so others have a harder time sniffing passwords and other data as you send it. This is a great thing to do if you are on an untrusted network like at a coffee house or at a hacker convention where everybody and their brother is running a sniffer of some sort.

Iran has shut down Internet access to six oil refineries in response to a cyberattack that may have infected some of its systems, according to reports.
The Iranian Mehr News Agency reported that the attack on April 22 was repelled before it could do any damage, but subsequent reports said the computer worm, as Mehr referred to it, could have done more damage than originally thought.
Bloomberg Businessweek reported that the attack, which struck Iran's Oil Ministry, the National Iranian Oil Co. and other operations, took down some of their systems, which could be out for several days.

Report: Stuxnet planted by Iranian double agent for Israel
Iran building a private, isolated Internet, but can it shut out the world?
Iran's Fars News Agency quoted a spokesman for the National Iranian Oil Co. as saying the attack had damaged "some general information and data" but did not affect its main servers, which are not linked to the Internet.
"We have a backup from all our main or secondary data, and there is no problem in this regard," the spokesman said. Few other details on the attack, such as how it hit or what type of malware was involved, were released.
A notice posted on the Iran Oil Ministry's website — which later on April 23 was itself offline — said that the malware, which it called a "virus," damaged some hard drives on infected systems but only affected public information, and not any sensitive ministry information, ThreatPost reported.
One of the sites infected was the oil terminal at Kharg Island, which handles about 90 percent of the country's oil exports.
Iranian officials said, however, the the attack had not affected oil production in the country, which produces the second-most amount of crude oil, after Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East.
In late 2009, Iran's nuclear processing operations were hit by the sophisticated Stuxnet worm, which targeted programmable logic controllers in centrifuges used in uranium processing. Stuxnet, which spread widely but was specifically targeted, caused Iran to shut down its Natanz processing plant for a week. Engineers at the plant only recently succeeded in completely scrubbing Suxtnet from their systems.
Cybersecurity experts have considered the United States and Israel as possibly being behind the Stuxnet attacks, and a recent report said an Iranian double agent working for Israel had planted the virus using a memory stick.
Meanwhile, Iranian has been developing a "national information network" that would operate separately from the Internet, in part to muzzle dissent and keep out Western influences, but also to prevent cyberattacks.
In announcing the creation of a Supreme Council of Cyberspace, one official, apparently referring to Stuxnet, said, "We are worried about a portion of cyberspace that is used for exchanging information and conducting espionage."

The policies of Obama are really going to hurt in about 4-7 years when the current wells and extraction points start to dry up domestically and his crazy eco-policies have prevented new drilling or extraction sites. Of course he won't get the blame because he will either been voted out of office or been long gone by then.... I find it funny that his energy secretary rated himself an "A", he must have used European socialist grading card for his metrics...
In the news today: "Saudi Arabia has some of the world's largest oil and gas fields but rapidly rising power demand in the kingdom threatens to absorb much of those reserves unless it can find alternative fuels for its long-term economic growth."Prince Turki al-Faisal, a key Saudi royal, has said the kingdom would not surrender its right to enrich its own uranium for energy use in the long term, although it expects to have to import fuel in the medium term."Last year, a KA-CARE official said the country could build up to 16 nuclear power reactors by 2030, but KA-CARE has created many potential energy supply and demand scenarios and the actual number of nuclear reactors will depend entirely on what share of the overall mix the government finally targets.http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/bre83o0sr-us-saudi-nuclear/So the supplier that is supposed to ramp up production to allow an embargo on Iranian oil due to its nuclear power program needs to start a nuclear program of its own to keep from running out of supplies?Does anyone really know what is going on?
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=oil+price+chart&view=detail&id=A5EAD1EB7BF9EFA5473B48C14BB9823712E5109D&first=0What you will notice is that when The republican candidate was singing "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" Oil rose significantly. When it became clear that Obama would win the prices moved downwards. But as it became clear that Obama was just as war mongering as bush the prices went back up. It is largely based on speculation of risk and insurance. Sure it wen't down just as Obama won but it is disingunious to point out the minimum after a long term trend under bush. The peach dividend was short lived and that is the point of the original post. No peace, no prosperity.
You might be somewhat confused "Earth". The price when Obama took office in January of 2009 was 1.94 to 1.67 as compard to the 3.84 today. (see gasbuddy.com). In Obama's own words - "I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment". He hired as his energy secretary a person who was quoted as saying, "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the prie of gasoline to the levels in Europe" just before he was selected for office.

HONOLULU (AP) — A State Department special agent charged with murder in the shooting of a man at a fast-food restaurant in Waikiki last year spent the night bar-hopping and drinking before going to the restaurant, prosecutors said.
Suspect Christopher Deedy appeared intoxicated before firing three shots from his handgun — the first narrowly missed a customer, another lodged in a restaurant wall, and the third fatally wounded 23-year-old Kollin Elderts, prosecutors said in court papers.
Deedy was not heard identifying himself as a law enforcement officer, but told Elderts he had a gun and would shoot him in the face, prosecutors said in the most detailed account of the shooting released thus far.
City Deputy Prosecutor Janice Futa filed the papers Friday in opposition to Deedy's request for dismissal of the murder charge, the Star-Advertiser reported Wednesday (http://bit.ly/11d3oqS ).
Deedy, 28, has pleaded not guilty. His defense lawyers maintain he is immune from state prosecution under the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause because he was acting as a federal law enforcement officer when the incident occurred.
Deedy identified himself as a law enforcement officer and acted to protect himself and others from a belligerent Elderts, who had assaulted him and tried to grab Deedy's gun, said Brook Hart, Deedy's attorney.
Futa countered that Deedy was the aggressor who "thrust kicked" Elderts and repeatedly told him, "I have a gun; I'm going to shoot you in the face."
Elderts responded, "Shoot me, then," the deputy prosecutor said in the court filing.
After the kick, Deedy reached for his holstered gun and moved toward Elderts, who then hit Deedy in the face, Futa said.
Deedy fell to the floor, and as he got up he pulled out the gun and began firing, Futa said.
Deedy had been "slurring his words as he argued with Elderts," the prosecutor said.
"While defendant was bar-hopping he was in possession of his 9 mm Glock; conduct that the Department of State's rules clearly prohibit," Futa said.
Deedy was in Hawaii in November 2011 to provide security at the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings.
Circuit Judge Karen Ahn is scheduled to hear the dismissal request Jan. 22. Trial is scheduled for April.

Take Colloquy for example, my favourite irc client on Mac OS X. This is a shot with the toolbar visibility toggled to "off":
And this is a shot with the toolbar visibility toggled to "on":
Now, this is the default, and thus expected, behaviour of this dash-like widget. A lot of applications, including those written by Apple itself, use this widget this way. However, I rarely saw this widget on brushed-metal applications. One exception to this rule was the Finder. The Finder is a brushed metal application, but it does sport this widget. Since Finder by default comes with a toolbar I rarely (if ever) use, I wondered what the Finder toolbar would look like without the toolbar. Unsuspecting, I clicked the dash widget.
And then, a whole lot of stuff happened all at once. Ok, this is how Finder looks normally, with the brushed metal interface:
Then, look what happens when you toggle the dash widget:
Right. This button not only toggles the visibility of the toolbar, but it changes the entire appearance of the window. Not only does the toolbar disappear, but also the sidebar. On top of that, the theme is changed to plain aqua (or whatever this theme is called, I lost track long ago).
However, that is not all. The worst is yet to come, you see. The button that is supposed to only toggle the visibility of the toolbar, not only changes the things mentioned above, but it also transforms the entire Finder in one of the most fundamental ways you can ever alter a file manager.
It turns it from a navigational file manager into a spatial file manager. Yes, that innocent button changes the entire functioning of the file manager in an extremely fundamental way. On top of that, the spatial version of Finder is a bad implementation of the concept as well; for instance, open directories are not marked as such, which is a very important aspect of the spatial metaphor.
But wait! That's not all! The spatial metaphor is only retained when you start navigating the filesystem from the exact same window you toggled the dash widget on! When you toggle the widget in
/usr, destroy that window, and then start navigating in
/bin, you get back to the navigational Finder; while when you start browsing in
/usr again, you are back in spatial mode! Insanity!
It are these kind of things that really make me wonder where all that money that Apple, Microsoft, and other software companies have is going to. Microsoft, for instance, has a similar issue with Internet Explorer 7 where the menubar is suddenly placed below the address bar when you toggle its visibility (off by default), and there is no way to drag it above the address bar anymore.
Seriously, what are all these programmers and "usability experts" doing if they make stupid mistakes like this?

Introduction - Lutyens opened in the summer of 2009 and is located in the former Reuters building - the famous ticker tape is referenced in the marble mosaic floor. In the autumn after it opened, and alongside several other accolades, it won the Square Meal magazine Best New Restaurant award. Named after the famous architect and designer of the building's façade, the new format was designed by Terence Conran, and includes several dining and drinking options, open for breakfast through to late night cocktails. There are two bars, two restaurants, four private meeting and dining rooms, and a private members club.
Restaurant - Quintessentially Conran in design, the restaurant is reminiscent of a dining room on board an art deco cruise liner, or perhaps a modern version of the much-loved classic Parisian brasserie. Seating 130, it is a light and airy space with large windows at both ends of the room. It also includes several notable architectural details such as the building's original structural steel columns. Additional features, which are now synonymous with its designer, include a large open kitchen, impressive food displays and a large cheese-conditioning cabinet.
The extensive à la carte menu focuses on modern European, highly-seasonal food created by Head Chef, Daniel Mertl. The generous menu options are complemented by one of the best wine lists in the City - as nominated by the AA Guide - and the wine service is managed by a very experienced sommelier team.
Wine Bar and Bistro - While the restaurant is definitely for high-powered entertaining and special occasions, the wine bar, with its inexpensive bistro menu, is ideal for everyday visits. Perfect for a quick midweek lunch or an after-work drink and supper, it offers over 40 wines available by the glass.
Private Rooms and Events - There are four private rooms, accommodating two to 40 people. The rooms are equally suitable for meetings, cocktail receptions, important lunch events or celebratory dinners. Additionally, the bars or part of the restaurant can also be reserved for anything from ten to 100 people. Exclusive hire of the bars and restaurants is possible at the weekends or (subject to availability) midweek.
The Pepys Room - Lutyens is pleased to announce a new events and entertaining space. The Pepys Room is characterful and versatile, allowing it to be used for a range of activities; from drinks receptions and private dining to presentations or a lively gathering with a DJ and late bar.
Members Club - An oasis away from the hubbub of Fleet Street, the members' club room is fully equipped with free WiFi, large screen TVs, extensive reading material and a range of business services. Club members also receive a range of benefits and discounts.
Lutyens is owned by Prescott & Conran and is a sister restaurant to Boundary and Albion in Shoreditch. www.prescottandconran.com

View from the (Doncaster) Lakeside
In conversation with Gary Wilkinson:
GM: So Gary, any news on the team selection front? Gary Wilkinson: Graham Holroyd is definitely ruled out and Joel Penny is looking doubtful at this stage. Dean Andrews comes into the equation.
GM: Regarding new signing Dean Andrews, what will he bring to the side? Gary Wilkinson: Dean has a lot of utility value, though I've brought him in to play at either centre or second row. He's strong, a line breaker and brings a lot to the team. I know he's played here before, but I know him very well and he will do a good job for us." GM: It's your former side up on Friday, what benefits do you think your knowledge of their game can bring to the Lakers chances? Gary Wilkinson: "Very little if I'm honest. I know a few of their players but Mark Aston will have stamped his style into their play so I don't think I can talk at great depth about their tactics. I've only had three sessions with the Lakers, so its debatable how much can be done in such a short period of time. GM: How has this last week been for you? Gary Wilkinson: "It has been hectic and very tiring, though I've got to say the players have been brilliant. They have all stood up to be counted, every single one of them - I can't praise them highly enough. They have shown a very professional attitude towards me being someone new and I appreciate that." GM: What have you to say to the Lakers fans? Gary Wilkinson: "Firstly I

Incognito continues Twitter rant against Martin
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito went on another Twitter rant Wednesday directed at teammate Jonathan Martin regarding their high-profile bullying scandal.
Even as he waits for NFL investigator Ted Wells to release his final report, Incognito blasted the man who accused him of being a bully.
Incognito said in one tweet states that Martin, who left the Dolphins mid-season, threatened to kill himself in 2013.
"FACT: Jonathan Martin told me he thought about taking his own life in MAY 2013 b/c he wasn't playing well," Incognito tweeted. "Told me he felt worthless."
After his Wednesday afternoon Twitter tirade, Incognito stopped, saying, "I have no further comment at this time. Please contact my attorney Mark Schamel."
Incognito then provided Schamel's phone number.
Incognito also wrote that Martin's account would ultimately be proven wrong:
"Dear Jon Martin….. The truth is going to bury you and your entire 'camp.' You could have told the truth the entire time."
Incognito did make one apology: "I apologize to all of the women out there that I offended with my text messages to my close personal friend."
According to ESPN.com, Wednesday's tirade is in stark contrast to Incognito's thoughts on Martin from just eight days ago when he tweeted that he supported Martin "100% in his return to football in 2014."
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross recently said neither player is expected to return to Miami. Incognito will become an unrestricted free agent in March. Martin, a 2012 second-round pick, still has two years left on his rookie contract but is expected to be traded or released.
Wells was hired by the NFL on Nov. 6 to conduct an independent probe within the Dolphins' organization. He met with Martin twice, the final time on Dec. 5, and spoke with Incognito and team officials in November.
Last week, Incognito showed his frustration about the delay.
"Paul, Weiss, Rifkind — Really taking your time on this one," Incognito tweeted, in reference to the firm for which Wells works. "Not like my career and life have been in the balance for 3 months."
Martin, an offensive tackle, left the team on Oct. 28 to pursue treatment for undisclosed mental health issues and later accused Incognito of abuse.
Incognito was subsequently suspended from the team for the remainder of the 2013 season. Incognito's suspension was lifted by the Dolphins on Feb. 4.
More than 1,000 text messages between Martin and Incognito were published last week by USA Today Sports that shed more insight into the teammates' relationship.

disable XAmazz Nov 22, 2008 4:06 PM
Within my JBossAS 4.2.1 app, I'm getting the infamous:
[com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.resources.arjunacore.norecoveryxa] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.resources.arjunacore.norecoveryxa] Could not find new XAResource to use for recovering non-serializable XAResource
I'm not sure what two data sources are being enlisted in this transaction to make it want to be XA-recovered. The only two data sources I have deployed are a quartz <no-tx-datasource> data source and my main app's <local-tx-datasource> data source. I assume something is going on within a Quartz job causing this but no where in my Quartz config do I mention the use of XA or a XA datasource. I also have JMS beans that sometimes hiccup, and I believe the JMS subsystem out of box IS configured to somehow use XA - I don't know if that is somehow involved. The only place where I see XA mentioned is in the JMS configuration.
In any event, I don't want anything in my app to go through XA or be in a 2PC transaction. Nothing can be recoverable - in fact, if I shutdown my server, delete the entire data/tx-object-store directory within my JBossAS and restart, everything works fine (database is not in a bad state - I may not have data committed that tried to be commited before, but my app can work fine - the business layer can survive this). Therefore, I don't want the Tx manager to even attempt to recover, since (a) it can never recover and (b) I'm fine regardless of the tx error.
I scoured the 'net but can't find any good docs that explicitly talk about how you can configure JBossAS and its tx manager to NOT attempt to perform this XA recovery. Or, how I can remove the XA component out of the JMS configuration.
Does anyone know how to do any of this? Or know of some docs that relate to this? I looked through http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-12463 but didn't see anything obvious... but then, I barely know how to spell XA, so I might have missed something.

RIM sues Motorola
Staff, not patents, this time
Research in Motion is suing Motorola for not allowing laid-off employees to seek work with the owner of the Blackberry brand, who is hoping to scoop up some cheap engineers now that Motorola is shedding so many.
The two companies signed an agreement, back in February, to prevent either company from pinching staff from the other - they were not permitted to solicit staff, or offer work to the recently-ex-employed. But that was before Motorola started shedding staff like it was going out of fashion, and now RIM reckons that agreement expired in August and has asked a Chicago court to endorse that opinion.
RIM accuses Motorola of preventing employees from joining RIM, even as they are being shown the door - leading to a claim of unfair competition for which RIM is seeking unspecified damages.
Just before Christmas Motorola announced they would be laying off another 400 staff, in addition to the fifteen hundred announced in October. From what we understand of what's going on in Motorola: anyone who knows Android is OK, and the company is still employing Android experts, but the rest of the engineering team is up against the wall.
Working for the competition is always tricky, given the non-disclosure agreements employees are expected to sign, but most civilised countries recognise that specialists have a limited number of potential employers and that their right to work should be protected above commercial interests.

What would you do with the Stanley Cup?
It's a question every hockey player hopes to answer. The most coveted trophy in all sports is not only a breathtaking silver spectacle, but also a collective time capsule of champions. During the Blackhawks Convention this weekend at the Hilton Chicago, RedEye asked the Stanley Cup champs what they've enjoyed doing most with the cup, and for those who haven't had their day yet, what they're looking forward to doing with it.
"I think at the end of the day, just spending time with family and friends. Getting to see them with it again, I think that's the funnest part for me."
"I took it in a helicopter and flew all over Belleville [Ontario, his hometown] with it. I thought that was pretty cool. I had never been in one before, so it was a great experience for me."
"I know we're having a party, we're going to take it to my cousin's lake house and I think that will be a lot of fun [to] get it out there in the boats."
"I'm going to bring it fishing, I'm going to bring it on a fishing show, 'Facts of Fishing' up in Ontario with Dave Mercer, so I'm looking forward to that and just having a good day with it.
"I'm taking it to the Children's Hospital in St. Louis in the morning this next coming Wednesday. That'll be cool, to bring it there and let those kids experience a little bit of what I'm getting to experience. That'll be fun. And to see their reactions, I'm pretty excited about that.
Jonathan Toews
"I think my favorite moment with the Cup is always right after we win. It's the same thing as 2010, on the ice. There's just so much going on it's very tough to try to let it soak in because it's happening so fast. But everything from the celebration on the ice with the guys the moments after, to the locker room, the plane ride home. ... There's something with those moments that really sinks in with you. They're photographs in your mind that you'll never forget. I think those are the real moments that stick out because after that it's a whirlwind and everybody kind of goes their own way."

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are accusing the Obama administration of poorly preparing for the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts while at the same time scaring people about their potential impact.
"Agency after agency acts surprised that a law signed by the president 19 months ago actually meant what it said," Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Tuesday.
Issa's committee conducted two hearings that touched on the impact of the budget cuts known as a "sequester" and the administration's preparation for them. Both hearings turned into forums for lawmakers in each party to blame the other side.
"When you cut $85 billion out of a budget over a course of seven months there are consequences — duhhh," said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the committee's senior Democrat. "They want people to think these are the choice of the administration. It isn't true."
Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., former chairman of the House Transportation Committee, ripped the Homeland Security Department and its Transportation Safety Administration as among the worst offenders. While attacking the department's lack of planning for the spending cuts, he singled out Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's predictions of long waits at airport security lines as "her form of torture."
"We should have the secretary out there screening people," Mica said. "This is one of the most shameful things I've ever seen the administration do."
Rafael Borras, the department's undersecretary in charge of its budget, said there was no effort to scare people.
"There was an expectation that the sequester would not come to pass," Borras said. "We're doing everything we can to limit the impact."
During October's presidential debate between President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney, Obama said sequestration cuts "will not happen," though his aides then tried to back off the remark.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Michael Young, the budget director for the Agriculture Department, that the USDA should have anticipated potential cuts. He also put up slides showing the department's budget over the last four years, noting it had been relatively flat.
"You've had 20 months to get ready for this," Jordan said. "August 2011. It seems to me you should be able to deal with this."
Jordan asked Young if anyone had directed him to make the cuts more painful. Young said the opposite was true, that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack had instructed him to implement cuts in an "equitable manner and the least disruptive manner."
In February, Vilsack warned that budget cuts mandated by the sequester would force the USDA to furlough meat inspectors for up to 15 days. Because meatpacking plants require a federal inspector, his warning implied that it could cause an industry-wide slowdown.
Young told Jordan he did not yet know how long meat inspectors might be furloughed.
Democrats expressed frustration that the committee was asking questions about the impact of the sequester before agencies had fully grappled with it.
"Did we expect (the sequester) to kick in within 19 days?" said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va. "No!"

LONDON – Britain's leading gay rights group says a cardinal who resigned after admitting sexual misconduct should apologize to gay people for his "vicious and cruel language" about them.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien quit last week as Britain's top Roman Catholic cleric after being accused of inappropriate behavior by several priests.
O'Brien said that "my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said Monday that the group noted "with sadness that the cardinal didn't find it in him to apologize to gay people, their families and friends for the harm his vicious and cruel language caused."
O'Brien had been a staunch advocate of church teaching against homosexuality, calling same-sex marriage "a grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right."
