'Canes taking it one step at a time
The last couple of years have been tough for the Warwick Vets baseball team, and there's no telling just yet what this season will bring.
But as of now, on the heels of a 2-16 season last year and a 3-15 campaign the year before, the team just wants to get its footing and start playing solid, fundamental baseball.
That's the message under first-year head coach Nolan Landy, who takes over for former coach Dave Croll, who resigned in the off-season after seven years in the dugout.
Landy, a former player at Pilgrim who coached the Vets freshman team for the past three years, is still getting his own footing as well, as he tries to decide how to best utilize the players on his roster to get the most out of them.
And despite a new coach and some positional uncertainties in the early season shuffle, the 'Canes have put in the effort to try to turn the corner.
"They know what to expect," Landy said. "The guys who couldn't do it aren't here. Everyone is excited, they're happy. The energy level has been excellent."
Plus, even after graduating seven seniors off last year's team, it's not as though Vets doesn't have the pieces to take some big strides forward.
Seniors Kevin Hickey and Shane Johnson will be at the head of the pack on the mound, as they are slotted in to be the team's top two starters.
"Johnson and Hickey will be our staples on the mound," Landy said.
There's also some depth there, as well. Junior Patrick Delsanto should see plenty of time on the mound, as will sophomore Danny Greaves. Sophomore Jarred Cipriano is also in the fold.
On the infield, junior T.J. Boyajian is back at shortstop and figures to be one of the team's top players both in the field and at the plate.
Senior Bryan O'Mara will be getting the nod at second base, while Delsanto or sophomore Steven Dennis will play third base.
Dennis is also one of the team's catchers, along with junior Kyle Waters.
At first base, Greaves and Johnson will share time.
"We're young and we've got a lot of things to work on," Landy said. "Some guys might be playing out of position, so we'll try to figure it out."
The outfield is still largely undetermined, though Hickey and junior Anthony Lonczak should be regulars.
"Other than that, we'll have to figure it out," Landy said. "It's a work in progress."
Offensively, the heart of Vets lineup will feature Boyajian, Hickey, Johnson and Waters, and Landy also mentioned Greaves and Dennis as potential impact hitters.
And the hope is that it won't stop there.
After having a few players drop from the team in the early going, there are 23 players remaining on the team, and they're starting to get a much better feel for Landy and the direction he's hoping to take the team.
"I would say right now, the strength is their character," Landy said. "These guys want to be here. They're buying in to what we're doing."
Vets last made the playoffs in 2009, when it went 6-12. The last two seasons, even though the win-loss records have been poor, the 'Canes have been competitive with just about every team in Division I when they play.
The next step is turning a few of those close games into wins.
"I would say our goal is just to improve," Landy said. "We're still trying to get the pulse of exactly who's doing what. But I'm happy with what I've seen the past two weeks. We just want to continue to build on it."
Vets will open its regular season on Monday when it travels to Barrington for a 3:45 p.m. game.

Press release from the Tennessee Department of Health; March 18, 2013:
NASHVILLE – Effective April 1, 2013, prescribers will be required to look up their patients in the state's Controlled Substance Monitoring Database before beginning a new treatment with an opioid or benzodiazepine and at least yearly thereafter if treatment continues. The reporting will ultimately benefit all Tennesseans in helping to decrease the complex collection of problems associated with improper use of prescribed drugs.
"Just as we check for allergies before giving a medication intended to help a patient, medical professionals will now check the database to help prevent these powerful medications from causing harm," said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. "We believe the April 1 requirement for clinicians to use the database will improve patient safety, provide opportunities for counseling and referral to treatment to prevent misuse and abuse of prescription drugs, and help to prevent the use of drugs for non-intended purposes."
In 2011, a total of 1,062 people died from drug overdoses in Tennessee. The database will provide clinicians opportunities to identify patients with potential substance abuse or misuse issues so timely counseling and referral can occur to help prevent future deaths. This identification is critical when patients are women of childbearing age.
"Clinician-patient conversations are especially important among women of childbearing age," said TDH Chief Medical Officer David Reagan, MD, PhD. "We unfortunately have a national epidemic of babies being born dependent on legal or illegal drugs their mothers ingested during pregnancy. At birth, the baby is cut off from the drug and goes through a painful process of withdrawal. The condition is known as neonatal abstinence syndrome or NAS, and it is painful for the baby and costly to society. In addition to the suffering of the infant, typical first year of life health costs for a baby with neonatal abstinence syndrome are nearly six times higher than for a normal baby."
In 2011, Tennessee recorded 629 NAS births. Prescribers and dispensers of narcotics who have questions about the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database should call 615-253-1305 or visit http://health.state.tn.us/boards/Controlledsubstance/index.shtml.

Twitter for iPhone has been updated so that the new
#dickbar Quick Bar does not overlap tweets in your timeline. Twitter introduced this trending bar last week and users were immediately outraged by its intrusive behavior and the fact that it cannot be disabled. This update still does not allow the user to disable the Quick Bar, but at least it's not quite as intrusive.
Here's everything this update has to offer:
- Fixes crashing some users have been seeing on launch and with location services
- Updated Quick Bar default behavior to not overlap tweets in timeline
- Security fixes
- Improved performance for users with many accounts
After last week's update, did you switch Twitter clients because of the Quick Bar? If so, is this improvement enough to bring you back? Sound off in the comments below!

The Iron Curtain has fallen and many Americans think the enemy is defeated. Not so fast. If an American citizen reads this list of Communist Goals, ask yourself; were they defeated or are we being conquered from within.
It is the hope of this author that you the reader go to this link and watch the movie before or after reading this list of Communist Goals. http://vimeo.com/52009124
This movie is called AGENDA.
- U. S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
- U. S. willingness to captulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
- Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
- Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affilitation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
- Extensions of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites.
- Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
- Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.
- Set up East and West Germany as seperate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the UN.
- Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U. S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
- Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the UN.
- Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If the charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT with its own independent armed forces.
- Resist any attempt to ourlaw the Communist Party.
- Do away with all loyalty oaths.
- Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
- Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
- Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
- Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
- Gain control of all student newspapers.
- Use student riots to foment public protest against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
- Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
- Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
- Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
- Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness repulsive, meaningless art."
- Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
- Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
- Present homo-sexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
- infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
- eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of " separation of church and state."
- Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a world-wide basis.
- Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
- belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture." give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists take over.
- Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social,agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
- eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
- Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
- Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
- Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
- Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
- Transfer some of the powers of arrestest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
- Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
- Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influences of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
- Discredit the family as a institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
- Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use "united force" to solve economic, political or social problems.
- Overtrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
- Internationalize the Panama Canal.
- Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing juridiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court juridiction over nations and individuals alike.
In view of events as of the time of this writing, Jan. 2013, how much does the Communist leadership have to accomplish to bring the United States into full submission of their way of life. If these goals are completed, what kind of life can Americans exspect to have? One far different from the days of the 20th century.
Face it citizens, from Washington, D.C. To Wall St. and nearly every ivory tower corporation, our country has been forrupted by the Communist. It matters not if they call themselves, Progressives, Moderates, Democrats, or Republicans, if they do not stand up for the Bible, and the Constitution of the United States, they are under the influences of Communism.
If America is to survive, we must stop catering to D.C. Our state legislatures must start representing the people to the United States Government, and stop representing the United States Government to the people or we will be under COMMUNIST DICTATOR RULE. The people must defend the constitution and their rights at any cost or die trying. The people of the United States are the United States, not the Federal Government or the federal reserve, of thieves. It no longer a conspiracy, it has now moved to the next step. If you the reader, took an oath "...to defend and protect the people of the United Stated and the Constiution of the United States, from enemies foreign and domestic..." it is time to step up and be counted.
NOTE: History shows, when Communism successfully take over a country, the hard core Communist take control and imprison or kill all the Socialist that help bring them to power. With today's technology killing has become much more efficient and simple. This is what the Socialist have to look forward to.
May GOD bless the United States of America and give us all strenght in these trying times and those to come.

New Wave
Technology is great! Can you imagine not having a remote control for your TV?! How about the garage door opener? Now, that is something I don't want to live without. I think you'll agree, we rely heavily on these modern day inventions.
Old School
I've begun to wonder if all these technological advances are too much of a good thing. I used to play the game Battleship with my sister when we were kids. It was so fun to yell out, "You sunk my battleship!" She's four years older than me so I was usually the one screaming that out while she hooted and cheered for herself. Now we play Scrabble via our phones. I make my word, gloat at the amount of points I earn, and hit send. Then nothing, until she takes her turn. There's no subtle bragging, no snickering, no gleeful "I'm a winner!" dance, because we're not even in the same town while we play! There's something missing in the experience, in spite of the fact that sometimes I can beat her!
Stay with Tradition
The nice thing about working a jigsaw puzzle with someone, is you are in the same room together. You get to share in the excitement of finding a piece. You can help each other search for that piece you know is there somewhere but manages to escape you. Putting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together does more than make a pretty picture. It brings the people around you together and that's a beautiful thing.
Get out a puzzle today and see what happens. I bet you'll have a crowd, gathering around you in no time!
Arts & Crafts
Great news… I'm designing a puzzle for Stave!! Well, I guess I should say I'm going to try my hand at designing. That's super exciting, huh?! I've always loved art and I know I want my future job to have something to do with art, so when my mom suggested I try to design a Teaser puzzle, I was super psyched! I love a challenge, so this is going to be a really fun project for me. I already have a few ideas ready for my mom to check out… hopefully she likes one of them and thinks it will make a good puzzle!
Next on my list of things to do at Stave is my Weekly Challenge, which I think I have mentioned before- I put together one puzzle a week and write about it on my StavePuzzleNuts blog. If you have any ideas for my next challenge, let me know by posting something on my wall at www.stavepuzzlenuts.com/profile/MadisonPerrin!! I would love to hear from you. I know there are sooo many amazing puzzles to choose from, so I've decided to give you a category to work with… drum roll please… it has to have SOMETHING to do with flowers!! Don't let the category hold you back, though. If you have a favorite puzzle you think would really challenge me and think I would love, let me know and I might be able to make an exception for you!
Another thing I'm still waiting to hear about is the photo contest that's going on here at Stave. Where are your photos?! If I were you, I'd be taking my picture right now to win that $100 off coupon!! All you have to do is get a little creative and snap a quick pic of you and your friends puzzling, send it to us, and you could be the lucky PuzzleNut winner. You'll be the envy of all your friends!! So good luck to everyone and I hope to be seeing some crazy photos coming my way soon!!
P.S. Check out a few of the neat cutting elements used in the puzzle below. Wow! Tell Madi what your favorite puzzles are firstname.lastname@example.com.

MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin has submitted a bill that would ban Russian Cabinet members and other senior officials from having foreign bank accounts and owning foreign stock, the Kremlin said Tuesday.
The proposal also applies to the officials' wives and underage children.
The Kremlin said that the measure is aimed at "ensuring national security, establishing order in lobbyist activities, increasing investment in the national economy and raising efficiency of anti-corruption efforts."
Putin first mentioned the move in his state-of-the nation address in December, casting it as part of efforts to make officials accountable to the public. "How can you trust an official or a politician who rants about Russia's benefit but tries to keep his money abroad?" he said in the speech.
Some observers, however, saw it as part as an increasingly isolationist course Putin has taken since his election to a third presidential term and warned it could lead to a split in Russia's ruling elite.
Putin accused the U.S. of staging massive protests against his rule, and he initiated the passage of a series of repressive bills after his inauguration in May. Russia also expelled the U.S. Agency for International Development and scrapped several bilateral cooperation agreements with the U.S.
Tensions between Moscow and Washington reached a new high in December after the approval of a U.S. law targeting Russian human rights violators. The Kremlin retaliated by banning U.S. adoptions of Russian children.
Putin's bill doesn't ban officials from owning real estate abroad, but obliges them to include it in their income declarations, which are made public.
Sergei Zheleznyak, a deputy speaker of the lower house of parliament and a member of the main Kremlin party, the United Russia, told reporters Tuesday that the new bill "answers the public demands."
Last fall, lawmakers in the State Duma gave a tentative approval to a similar bill, which will now be merged with Putin's initiative. The Duma hasn't yet set a date for considering the new bill, but it's expected to be approved quickly.
Once it becomes law, Russia's top officials will have three months to close their foreign bank accounts and sell their foreign stock.

Kanye West Might Get Will Smith to Rap Again
They've been hanging out in the studio.
Will Smith, who spent some time with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in Brazil earlier this year, says Kanye has been "pushing" him a little during some recent studio hangouts. "I might get the bug," Smith tells a reporter at an After Earth junket, seeming not exactly psyched to be talking about anything other than his film career. "I'm not gonna do it unless I'm truly inspired." What's more inspiring than the rapper who put out Willennium and Born to Reign trying to compete in a world where there's a rapper releasing an album called Yeezus?

Wow... I am wondering what exactly the point of speeds this high for Wi-Fi are... Most T3 lines don't run that fast, so you won't be able to get your internet at that kind of speed.A consortium of companies is pushing a new proposal to the IEEE for 802.11n. 135 Mbps in standard mode, 540 Mbps maximum throughput. Fast enough?
A consortium of companies calling themselves the WWiSE group, for "World Wide Spectrum Efficiency," has put forward their own proposal to the IEEE 802.11n working group, which is working on the next generation of Wi-Fi, claiming to scale from 135 Mbps all the way up to 540 Mbps. The WWiSE group consists of Airgo Networks, Bermai, Broadcom, Conexant, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments.
The IEEE's working group for 802.11n requires all proposals to exceed 100 Mbps transfer speed, making them faster than even conventional wired Ethernet. (Gigabit Ethernet is available, but not widely used outside of server rooms and network carriers.) Agere Systems made one proposal for 802.11n earlier this summer that the WWiSE group doesn't like, so they are making their own proposal.
More importantly, the WWiSE group has agreed that, if their proposal is accepted, member companies would license any patents they hold that are necessary to implement the proposal royalty-free to anyone who asks, although such licenses would be revocable if the licensee and WWiSE member got into a court fight later on. Royalty-free licenses for standards are important, as they reduce the cost of entry and encourage additional companies to produce products based on the standard. That in turn increases competition and drives down prices, which is always a win for end users. Most of the most important standards that underpin the Internet are not only royalty-free but license free as well, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, the Domain Name System, and the various protocols that make up the e-mail system.
The WWiSE proposal for 802.11n is very similar to the Agere Systems proposal in terms of functionality. Both are based on MIMO-OFDM techniques. MIMO stands for Multiple Input-Multiple Output, which in non-engineering terms means that both sending and receiving devices require multiple antennas, specifically two in this case. OFDM stands for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, and is a more complex but more efficient and higher-bandwidth way of letting multiple radio transmissions share the same airspace and frequency at the same time than Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), both widely used by mobile phone networks.
Both the WWiSE and Agere Systems proposals support up to 135 Mbps transfer rates with two antennas on both sender and receiver, and claim backward compatibility with conventional Wi-Fi technologies. By adding additional antennas up to a 4x4 configuration (four senders, for receivers) WWiSE claims that their proposal will scale to 540 Mbps. However, that will require using a 40 MHz-wide band. Current regulatory requirements limit 2.4 GHz-band transmissions to a 20 MHz slice of frequency in most jurisdictions.
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is responsible for developing and maintaining a wide variety of networking specifications and standards important to the basic functioning of the Internet, including, among others, wired Ethernet and wireless Ethernet "Wi-Fi". Current Wi-Fi standards include 802.11b running at 11 Mbps and 802.11a and 802.11g, both of which run at 54 Mbps, although 802.11g was originally developed independently by Texas Instruments. 802.11b and 802.11g operate in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequency band, as does the WWiSE group's 802.11n proposal, while 802.11a operates in the unlicensed 5.4 GHz band.

For Waltham resident Brian Garrity, the Boston Marathon is an event that has been a staple since childhood.
Garrity grew up in Holliston, a town away from the starting line in Hopkinton, and will participate in the legendary race with Team Red Cross this year.
"Knowing family and friends impacted by the Boston Marathon bombing and Hurricane Sandy, and the general occurrence of larger natural disasters across the world, has made me realize how important it is for organizations like the American Red Cross to have sufficient funding in order to respond to those in need," Garrity said.
The American Red Cross of Massachusetts is a proud member of the 2014 B.A.A. Marathon Charity Program and the John Hancock 2014 Non-Profit Marathon Program.
Team Red Cross brings together runners of all ages and abilities in support of the American Red Cross mission. On Monday, April 21, 59 Team Red Cross runners will complete the 26.2 mile journey from Hopkinton to Boston, with a team goal of raising more than $225,000 to benefit the American Red Cross.
All funds raised by Team Red Cross benefit American Red Cross programs and services throughout eastern Massachusetts. Since 2012, Team Red Cross runners have raised more than $260,000. Team Red Cross is proud to partner with Coach Dan Fitzgerald and Heartbreak Hill Running Company to provide expert training and guidance for runners.

About Nicène Kossentini
Nicene Kossentini is a Tunisian photographer and filmmaker who mines connections between the past and the present, the personal and the political, and peace and hostility in her work. By engaging with the history of culture and conflict in her native Tunisia, she makes works that reference hopelessness and defiance—universal themes that transcend time and place. Recently, events surrounding the Arab Spring and the Jasmine Revolution have influenced her. In her "They abused her by saying…" (2012) series, the same faceless woman is repeated over multiple images, addressing issues of oppression. In much of her work, there are also references to rebellion and hope. Boujmal (2012) fuses images of a Tunisian lake with found portraits of Kossentini, her mother, and grandmother. In the face of advancing water, all three women remain courageous.
Tunisian, b. 1976, Sfax, Tunisia, based in Tunis, Tunisia

William Fitzsimmons Keeps It Simple On 'Sister' (Video Premiere)
Although William Fitzsimmons is a recent father, the Illinois folk singer was determined not to make his new album "Lions" about parenthood. "I didn't want to make a nursery rhyme or an I-love-my-kids-they're-awesome record, for two reasons: if you have kids, you don't need to hear any more about that. And if you don't, you don't give a" hoot, he told Speakeasy with a laugh.
Still, the subject came up in other ways after Fitzsimmons and his wife adopted their daughter shortly after she was born 20 months ago.
"The thing that really sparked all the songs was getting to know Josie's biological mom, her birth mother, and we kind of developed a relationship with her over a couple of months, and it was a very different, very powerful thing," Fitzsimmons said.
It's part of what underpins "Sister," a gentle, fingerpicked song that Fitzsimmons sings in a hushed murmur. Speakeasy today premieres a video for the tune.
"It's this story of someone who's being visited by a ghost from their past," the singer said. "I never decided while I was writing it if was a real visitation or someone in their old age kind of replaying an relationship in their past. But it's a relationship that ended for some reason, and the person never truly left the mind of the writer. There's some autobiographical stuff with me, but the birth mom in that situation was the primary thought."
Although Fitzsimmons considered making a more narrative video for the song, he decided to keep things simple instead with a solo-acoustic performance of the tune.
"It's a personal challenge to see if the songs are good enough to stand on their own, because there's nothing else besides my hairy face and a little parlor guitar," Fitzsimmons said.
"Lions" is due Feb. 18 on Nettwerk Records. What do you think of "Sister?" Leave your thoughts in the comments.

"Conversations on a Homecoming"
The Irish pub where Tom Murphy's drama takes place is located somewhere in Galway. The year is 1970-something, and the place is cozy but shabby. So are the lives of its denizens, men who quietly and then not-so-quietly chafe against the disappointment ladled out by life. Their Guinness-slurping bonhomie hides multitudes.
A distracted missus runs the place while her husband, an unseen but heavy presence in the lives of these men, is off somewhere staring into the abyss, or more likely the bottom of a bottle. And then there's the old childhood friend, back home and looking to hide the tail between his legs after an unsuccessful stint in America.
The play is primarily a slow-burn confrontation among the men, all of whom are waging complicated internal battles, their masks slowly dropping away as they order yet another round of drinks. (It's amazing they imbibe as much as they do; one of the play's running jokes concerns the pub's slow service.)
Nothing is ever addressed head-on. They tend to obfuscate and talk around their resentments, despite their easy chemistry. But their winding conversation on this night feels like a riddle that has yet to be solved in director Jonathan Berry's low-voltage production for Strawdog. The stakes feel theoretical. Words get swallowed up by Mike Mroch's set (which is terrific looking, by the way), and suddenly you feel as though you've lost the thread.

"Tee-Hee-Hee With Jay Z and J.T."
Sometimes all a guy needs is a crazy costume and a pair of roller skates to make you laugh. Connor Tillman doesn't have to do much when he steps out on stage wearing short shorts, black knee socks, a tank top and skates. Then he opens his mouth: "Mom! Hit my music!" The Pointer Sisters blare from the sound system, and this bizarre little brat of a character created by Tillman, a performer who brings to mind the best parts of Will Ferrell and Andy Richter, begins his dance routine.
It's purely a sight gag — Tillman as a pasty, overgrown man-child in roller skates — but a great one.
What it is not is a fleshed-out idea for a scene. This is a disconcerting pattern that appears throughout the show, devised by Tillman and fellow iO performer Patrick Rowland. Too much of their sketch material is based on half-ideas or a series of repeating tics, which has become standard practice on "Saturday Night Live" but is not something one typically sees on Chicago stages.
Their loose framing device has the duo playing Jay Z and Justin Timberlake as emcees. "Hey, girl, what's your favorite song by me?" Tillman-as-Timberlake asks a young woman and then looks up at the crowd with a smirk: "Guys, that was improv." It's a funny bit but, like so much else in the show, underdeveloped.
Tillman and Rowland have good chemistry as a duo, especially in an improv-juiced sketch about garbage collectors (plus zippy theme song). The results are spottier when they take the stage solo.
Rowland is an opaque performer — there's an impenetrable emotional armor he seems to wear onstage — but he's an incisive writer and his ideas are strong. Loved his school essay about spending the summer at big mama's house (where he ate hot water soup and toothpaste for dinner), which is hilariously depressing and sharp.
Right now, Rowland's strongest material comes in form of Obama knock-knock jokes, or rather Barack-knock jokes: "Barack-knock." Who's there? "Wiretap." Wiretap who? "Wiretap everybody."
Through Sept. 7 at iO Theater, 3541 N. Clark St.; $14 at 773-880-0199 or ioimprov.com/chicago

Have whomever is responsible for the physical wiring of their ethernet connections remove the cable from the switch.
It's not enough to go to their desks and take their ethernet cables. Pull their access from futher up the chain.
If they are able to get back online and persist, then
1) Set up their systems to a static IP (assuming they're using DHCP)
2) Lock down their systems so that they cannot change their IP settings
3) Block access from these IP addresses from the rest of the network.
That'll get their attention, and hopefully they'll resolve it.

Presidential Farewell from Lila Adair
As my presidential year comes to a close, I want to share with you my feelings about AAPT, how we did in 2008 and to say thank you to all the people who have supported me and have made my presidential year such a pleasure. After 42 years of teaching, I still believe that the wisest decisions I ever made in my career was to join AAPT. Whether it was studying The Physics Teacher from cover to cover as a young teacher, presenting hundreds of PTRA workshops and presentations through the years, giving talks at local, national and international meetings, or just being the best physics teacher I could be for my students; I owe it all to AAPT. AAPT was my inspiration, a place to meet and share with other physics teachers, the source of unlimited lab activities and teaching techniques, a chance to rub shoulders and learn from Nobel Laureates and recognized leaders in physics and physics education, an opportunity to develop my leadership skills, and a voice to the world about the wonders of physics. No other scientific organization offers the unique, personal experiences that we have at AAPT. We are truly a member driven society designed to provide a service to the membership and the physics community at large. We may be small, but we are mighty, and my proudest moment was in Baltimore when Harvey Leff handed me the AAPT gavel and said, "Welcome Madame President." Not only was it a dream come true, but it was my one chance to give back to AAPT a small piece of what AAPT had given to me. It was a pleasure to lead the Executive Board this year, and I thank each of you for the opportunity to have served you.
In looking back over 2008, it is obvious that this was not a normal year for AAPT. I had the great pleasure of working with three very different Executive Officers; Toufic Hakim, Charlie Holbrow and Warren Hein, each of whom brought new and creative ideas to AAPT. As the United States listened to speeches by candidates wishing to become our next president, the word we heard the most was CHANGE. Change became the theme of my presidential year also, because with each new Executive Officer came new ideas and initiatives, changes in programs, staff changes, publications and communication changes from less print to more electronic formats, and of course financial changes after the stock market problems. We had to tighten our belt and draw money out of our reserves, but business went on as usual, in spite of the financial crunch. Our new CFO and fundraising staff are developing new and productive ways to provide opportunities for individuals and foundations to make donations to AAPT and to sponsor AAPT events, while our membership department is upgrading the electronic services and looking at new ways to attract more members to AAPT.
But through all of those changes, AAPT maintained the outstanding services for which we are known. The Department Chair Conference was once again a great success, with more applicants than we could accept. The New Physics and Astronomy Faculty Workshop, co-sponsored with APS and AAS, expanded to two workshops, to include the ever-growing number of applications, and plans began for a new Two-Year College New Faculty Workshop. The PTRA program began to wind down in the final stage of the NSF grants that began in 1985 and looked at ways of reconfiguring itself through other successful programs and even began offering special workshops for AAPT sections. The International Physics Olympiad team, co-sponsored with AIP, brought home from Vietnam four gold and one silver metal and an overall rating of second place, the best ever for the United States. AAPT increased its participation in the National Science Teachers Association meetings with all day workshops, provided judges for the International Science and Engineering Fair, and increased their visibility at National Teacher Day events across the country. I also dedicated quite a bit of time this year forging a stronger relationship between AAPT and the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP), and we are currently planning some cross-over events between the joint NSBP-NSHP national meeting and the joint AAPT-APS national meeting in Washington, DC in February of 2010.
Many of our activities are collaborative efforts with our sister societies APS, AAS, AIP NSTA and others. Working together for a common goal, we are better able to serve the physics community. The two most well know of our joint ventures are ComPADRE and PhysTEC. ComPADRE is an NSF funded program for AAPT, APS, AIP and SPS, through the National Science Digital Library, which strives to be the main source of physics and physics education resource material available to the science community. The PhysTEC program, co-sponsored with APS and AIP, has been providing services to colleges, seeking to increase the number of physics majors becoming physics and physical science teachers. Both programs showed high levels of success and large growth this year and are seeking additional funding to continue their efforts.
None of this could happen without the help of many people, most of whom are volunteers.
My time will soon be over, and I wish the best for our new president Alex Dickison. I have worked with Alex on the Executive Board twice, and we have become friends. He is a good man and a dedicated AAPT member. I know he will be an excellent president, and I wish him well.
In my guest editorial in the February 2008 TPT, I pledged "to provide the highest quality service available to our members, while still striving to reach out to the physics community as a whole." I have done my best to keep that pledge this year, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your president. It was a dream come true for me. A year from now as I leave the position of past-president, I will remain a dedicated member and active volunteer, continue teaching my science methods classes at Piedmont College in Athens, GA, and supervising my student teachers. I will cherish my memories of 2008 and the opportunity you provided me to be your president. Thank you.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A middle school football coach who was fired for planning an awards party at a Hooters restaurant says he's going ahead with the event without school backing.
And Hooters says it will pick up the bill Saturday and donate $1,000 plus 20 percent of the sales that day to the Corbett Middle School boosters club.
The Corbett School District's athletic director fired volunteer coach Randall Burbach this week and withdrew its support for an event at Hooters, where waitresses wear shorts and tight shirts.
The first-year volunteer coach refused to move the after-season party to another location because Hooters is where the boys wanted to go and he believes it's a family restaurant.
KGW reports the Jantzen Beach Hooters is picking up the tab and donating $1,000 plus 20 percent of Saturday sales to the school's boosters club.

Faster cooking, reduced energy consumption. This is Induction.
Induction hobs generate heat only where it is needed – in the base of the pan. What does this mean for you? More safety and more convenience. The lower temperature keeps both big and little hands safe from burning. Not only that, but an induction hob brings two litres of water to a boil twice as fast as a glass-ceramic hob, which also saves a great deal of energy.
excellent results

A whole lot of amazing people have left TechCrunch in the last several months. I'm sad to hear that the next to go is Jason Kincaid (his personal blog is here), who is leaving without firm plans for his next job.
I first met Jason in 2008 via Mark Hendrickson who was working at TechCrunch at the time. Like many of the writers we hired it was a very quick interview. He was just out of UCLA with a biology degree and was thinking of freelancing with the Economist. I hired him on the spot under a 30 day trial period, which I used as a sort of extended interview period with many new writers. Within days we'd hired him full time and since then he's been part of the foundation team at the site. He was definitely a keeper.
One of my favorite Kincaid memories was when he discovered a new "fax" feature on Facebook that the company had launched just for TechCrunch writers hoping that we noticed it. Jason did.
But I also remember the many, many big stories he scooped. Here's just the most recent one. Another example – He broke the story about Apple banning the Google Voice app from iOS, which led to a FCC investigation. There are countless other examples of his diligent and brilliant work.
Jason has the rare ability in a writer to both break big stories on his own, as well as write strong opinion articles on the topics of the day. Younger writers (who were often older than him) looked to him for leadership and guidance. He could have quite easily run TechCrunch entirely after we left.
As much as old tech empires continue to criticize the work of sites like TechCrunch, they were constantly trying to hire Jason away from us. I once sent an email to Damon Darlin, the tech editor at the NY Times, asking him curtly to please stop trying to raid our writing team. He was at the time aggressively pursuing Kincaid. Many others also tried to steal him away.
It's a big loss for TechCrunch to lose Jason now. Whatever he does next, it will be amazing.

Update: Kincaid's farewell post.

You're name just reminded me of the song:
"Sundown, you better take, if I find you've been creepin down my back
Cotton, do you remeber who sings this?
I have a memory blank right now.
I like your name, kinda neat.
Yes I do. Gordon Lightfoot sang that song plus Carefree Highway, If you could read my mind and many others. I used to have Sundown on a 45. remember those vinyl things?hehehe. Ok back to the topic.
Thanks cotton
Absolutely remember the little 45's
Remember how hard it was to get those disk thinkys inside.
Yes it is Gordon, I should know that, I Canadian, gee

Example installation
Here is mine Bcache installation. Maybe you can use some idea's. :)
Prepare the storage drive
Bcache-tools installation
fakeroot and binutils are only needed. but it will fail in a error if you only install them. wget is from a failed archbang instal :(
pacman -Syy pacman -S base-devel fakeroot binutils wget git
cd ~/ wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bc/bcache-tools-git/bcache-tools-git.tar.gz tar -xzvf bcache-tools-git.tar.gz cd bcache-tools-git makepkg -si --asroot
Making the partitions
For /boot i use the slower HDD because i had troubles that mine SSD loaded the kernel while mine HDD was still spinning up :P
Starting with the faster SSD drive
fdisk /dev/sda o y n Partition type: p Partition-number: 1 First-sector: [enter] Last-sector: +90G n Partition type: p Partition-number: 3 First-sector: [enter] Last-sector: [enter] write and exit
Now the slower 2 TB Harddrive
fdisk /dev/sdb o y n Partition type: p Partition-number: 1 First-sector: [enter] Last-sector: +1G a n Partition type: p Partition-number: 2 First-sector: [enter] Last-sector: +16G [enter] t 2 82 n Partition type: p Partition-number: 3 First-sector: [enter] Last-sector: [enter] write and exit
Making Bcache Device
The --wipe-bcache is to remove a error :) and the dd commands is or cleaning out old partition data.
make-bcache --wipe-bcache -B /dev/sdb3 -C /dev/sda2 dd if=/dev/zero count=1 bs=1024 seek=1 of=/dev/sda2 dd if=/dev/zero count=1 bs=1024 seek=1 of=/dev/sdb3
If next commands give a error: invalid argument Then the device is already registered.
echo /dev/sda2 > /sys/fs/bcache/register echo /dev/sdb3 > /sys/fs/bcache/register
Formating the drives
mkfs.ext4 -E discard /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext4 -E discard /dev/sdb1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/bcache0 mkswap /dev/sdb2 swapon /dev/sdb2
Mount the partitions
cd ~/ mkdir -p /mnt/install mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/install mkdir -p /mnt/install/{boot,home,srv,data,var,mnt/.hdd} mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/install/boot mount /dev/bcache0 /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd mkdir -p /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/{home,srv,data,var} mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/home /mnt/install/home mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/srv /mnt/install/srv mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/data /mnt/install/data mount -o bind /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd/var /mnt/install/var
Bcache Check After mounting
Reason for /boot on the HDD is because of boot up failure because of HDD spin-up.
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 167.7G 0 disk |-sda1 8:1 0 90G 0 part /mnt/install `-sda2 8:2 0 77.7G 0 part `-bcache0 253:0 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk |-sdb1 8:17 0 1G 0 part /mnt/install/boot |-sdb2 8:18 0 16G 0 part [SWAP] `-sdb3 8:19 0 1.8T 0 part `-bcache0 253:0 0 1.8T 0 disk /mnt/install/mnt/.hdd
Generate an fstab
Generate an fstab file with the following command. UUIDs will be used because they have certain advantages.
genfstab -U -p /mnt/install >> /mnt/install/etc/fstab sed -i '/dev\/sda/ s/rw,relatime,data=ordered/defaults,noatime,discard/g' /mnt/install/etc/fstab sed -i '/mnt\/install/ {s/\/mnt\/install//g; s/rw,relatime,data=ordered/defaults/g; s/none/bind/g}' /mnt/install/etc/fstab more /mnt/install/etc/fstab
Install and configure kernel and bootloader
Adding Bcache module and hook
Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as needed and re-generate the initramfs image with: adding the "bcache" module adding the "bcache_udev" hook between block and filesystems
sed -i '/^MODULES=/ s/"$/ bcache"/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf sed -i '/^HOOKS=/ s/block filesystems/block bcache_udev filesystems/' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf more /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Registering and attaching Bcache
This part is a pain in the A.. The problem is that Bcache wil give a error at startup if this is not done.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=b6b2d82b-f87e-44d5-bbc5-c51dd7aace15'. You are being dropped to a recovery shell Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
First get the correct "SET UUID" with this ls command. And use the UUID like the example underneath. Also check for the use of the correct devices. echo: write error: Invalid argument <<< This error is good !!! means that your value was already stored.

Installing the Kernel
mkinitcpio -p linux
I hope some stuff is helpfull :P 17:58, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm curious about two things. First, though I forget what the '-E' switch signifies, it seems you're formatting the raw, underlayer partitions themselves. I don't understand why.
- Also, the "pain in the a?" So udev is not assembling your array automatically as the devices are discovered? That is unexpected behavior, and I suspect it has to do with the formatting you performed and udev's superblock discovery. Check the very bottom of the bcache wiki on their site. At least try lsblk to verify "bcache" partition types are not registering as "ext4" before assembling the array.
- Oh. And please sign talk pages.
Mikeserv (talk) 03:35, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
Well this is a experiment with Bcache with mine own Wiki page and 100x testing the install, i am not a linux expert just a newbie who was reading a lot of howto's. Just see it as a compilation of different web pages and some logical thinking. :)
The -E is just a copy and past ... not sure if it was needed.I just thought it was needed to get the discard flag while formating.
The pain in the A.... this was before Udev ... i was busy getting Bcache to work 3 months ago ... 75% of boot up failed when booting up cold. Later i found out that the SSD was too fast with booting up and the normal HDD was still spinning up.... After i splitted up the SSD for root directory and bcache and moved the /boot to the HDD since then i can bootup 100% of the time without any error... This was before the udev thingy (wich i dont understand and need to read up) :)
So please understand that i am just a linux noob trying to contribute :)

- No, I get it, and I didn't mean to insinuate that you were doing anything wrong, exactly, just that, as designed, it could operate better.
- Basically, and you should check the man-pages and the wiki page here to be sure just in case I'm not entirely correct (which does happen), udev is the program that runs during boot (and pretty much all of the rest of the time, too) to detect your hardware and load drivers as necessary. Udev is a relatively recent addition to the Linux boot process and is unique in that it discovers and handles hardware as it shows up, can handle multiple devices simultaneously with non-blocking parallell operations, and, as a result, is significantly faster than the methods it has replaced.
- I was the one who added the udev rules and step 7b to this wiki, and I was the one who wrote the "Rogue Superblock" section of "Troubleshooting" at the bottom of bcache's wiki. I only gained the knowledge to write either after spending several frustrating days with an issue that appears very similar to your "pain in the a."
- As step 7a shows, the prevailing Arch Linux method for reassembling a bcache array at boot used to look something like:
- 1) Wait 5 secs.
- 2) Check to see if udev has discovered and added {disk UUIDS}. If yes goto 3), no, repeat 1) and 2).
- 3) echo {pain in the a stuff} /sys/bla/bla/bla
- This does work, of course, but you're adding an unnecessary wait loop to your boot process and you're performing a task with brittle shell script that depends on specific UUIDs that could be performed flexibly and at discovery time.
- That's what the udev rules do. Basically, the rules instruct udev to treat as part of your bcache array any partition it finds that reports itself as a "bcache" partition type. It builds the bcache array from disk partitions at every boot only as soon as those partitions are ready, which would of course resolve the race condition you mentioned and allow you to boot from SSD if you liked.
- And here's where our experience might converge: I added a partition to my bcache array after previously formatting it as ext4. If you don't know about superblocks (or magic blocks or whatever they're called) then you're just like I was a few months ago. In short the filesystem has to have a way to report on itself, so it sets aside a small marker on disk that says, "Hey, OS, I'm a disk partition of type EXT4 and I start at block offset whatever and end at block offset whatever. Also, I enjoy long walks on the beach and prefer red wine to white. See you around."
- The problem I experienced was that by default ext4 tended to begin at an earlier offset than bcache, and so even though I formatted over the previously ext4 partition with bcache as instructed, bcache never overwrote ext4's first superblock. When udev attempted to build my array, it would always miss my first partition because it would read the first superblock, identify the partition as ext4, then skip it. Echoing the add instruction to /sys/ after boot was my fix for a couple of days, but eventually I figured it all out and wrote that short bit on superblocks in bcache's wiki.
- Maybe that helps?
- EDIT: Just looked back at the wiki proper and somebody has performed some major changes recently. While it does appear cleaner, it no longer makes sense. There are references to non-existent steps throughout, and the actual why's that were included at least to some degree seem to have been occluded in favor of dubious, though possibly more efficient how's. Anyway, step 7b no longer exists, but it used to include the bcache_udev mkinitcpio hook I (very barely) adapted from mdadm_udev when trying to fix Arch's bcache boot problems. It's now included in the AUR package the wiki recommends I guess, despite the wiki also telling us we must "echo ... /sys/... at every bootup."
Mikeserv (talk) 07:08, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I missed a couple of references back to the sections I changed. Hopefully it makes more sense now. Mikeserv's udev rule is crucial to having a working bcache device on boot, as Emesix had discovered, it will often result in a failed boot. The echo in to /sys/bcache* step was missed when I updated it to mention the udev rule as the 'default' method.
--Justin8 (talk) 10:45, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- For clarity's sake, the udev rule was never mine. The used rule has been included in the AUR package's git pull from at least the time I first installed bcache some months ago. The package maintainer at that time opted not to use it, I guess, and instead installed the legacy-type shell-scripted for-loop mkinitcpio hook I outlined above, which was, to be fair, also the process recommended by every other source of information I was able to dig up at the time to include bcache's own wiki. Frustrated with having to wait for such things which seemed to me to defeat the whole purpose of buying and configuring an SSD boot device, I eventually stumbled upon the mdadm_udev hook in /use/share/initcpio and (only slightly) modified it to apply the 69-bcache-rules instead.
- Justin, thanks for your recent change. I'm curious why you specify "unless assembling after boot?" Why include anything to do with bcache in the initramfs at all if you're building the array after the boot sequence?
Mikeserv (talk) 11:11, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- Emesix, just looked closer at your instructions, and you actually do the thing I had to do and outlined in the bcache wiki to overwrite the rogue superblock here:
dd if=/dev/zero count=1 bs=1024 seek=1 of=/dev/sd{a2,b3}
- And the ext4 formatting you do after that I earlier incorrectly assumed to be for the "raw, underlayer partitions" is revealed upon further inspection to be for non-bcache partitions and so isn't even relevant; I apologize for jumping to conclusions before reviewing it fully, the quick check I did a couple of days ago just struck me as really familiar.
- The udev stuff above should still be relevant, and it might be worth noting that the particular
ddcommand above is by no means a cure-all. It should only be used as written if you have previously identified a superblock located at byte offset 1024 that needs overwriting, though the actual superblock location can vary by filesystem. I've since learned that a much more flexible and useful tool for this is
wipefs, which is much less dangerous than it sounds.
- Mikeserv (talk) 14:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation of the super-block Mikeserv's was very insightful. But that Udev stuff is still a layer to high for me :P I don't know if its possible to do a little differently to avoid a unwanted wait loop:
- 1) Check to see if udev has discovered and added {disk UUIDS}. If yes goto 3)
- 2) Wait 5 secs and goto 1.
- 3) echo {pain in the a stuff} /sys/bla/bla/bla
Its just a safety step. :) And because formatting the /dev/bcache0 was soon to follow, it didn't hurt if i accidentally killed the file system on the bcache :) BTW i like the piece added with this command set:
# cd /sys/fs/bcache # echo "UUID" > /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/attach
p.s. But is still don't get why the wiki page is full of btrfs, is this not a combination of commands ?

By Brad Poole
TUCSON, Arizona (Reuters) - A non-profit group plans to hand out free shotguns to residents of Tucson, Arizona in an effort to show that more guns mean less crime.
The Houston, Texas-based Armed Citizens Project has raised about $12,000 or enough to fund about 36 weapons, Shaun McClusky, a Tucson realtor who launched the Tucson effort, told Reuters on Friday.
The group has begun tracking illegal activity in three crime-ridden neighborhoods and will continue to monitor the crime rate after guns are distributed.
"This is about public safety. This is about people protecting themselves," said McClusky, a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in the city's last election.
Each single-shot weapon will come with a lock and training. Single-shot weapons were chosen because they are inexpensive and are unlikely to be stolen as criminals don't want them, McClusky said.
Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik, a Democrat who has advocated for stricter gun controls in Tucson does not agree with the underlying premise of the giveaway program.
"To suggest that giving guns to people in high-crime neighborhoods will make them safer is ridiculous. I think it's dangerous," Kozachik said.
He called the program a "solution seeking a problem," and predicted city residents will reject the program as it becomes more widely publicized.
Tucson rocketed to the forefront of the nation's gun-ownership debate on January 8, 2011, when college dropout Jared Loughner opened fire at a political meet-and-greet with former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Six people died and 13 were injured, including Giffords who was shot in the head with Loughner's legally-obtained Glock handgun. She later resigned from the House of Representatives to focus on her recovery.
Loughner, who was subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia, pleaded guilty to murder and other charges stemming from the rampage and is serving seven consecutive life sentences and an additional 140 years, without the possibility of parole.
Earlier this year, Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, founded the non-profit Americans for Responsible Solutions to advocate changes in federal gun laws. Giffords and Kelly are gun owners and support background checks for prospective gun owners and limits on the size of ammunition clips.
The Tucson gun giveaway is part of a broader program based in Texas. University of Houston graduate student Kyle Coplen founded the Armed Citizen Project hoping to show that crime rates drop when more residents are armed and trained to use the weapons.
"In training and arming law-abiding residents, we are saturating neighborhoods with defensive weapons, and measuring the effect that a heavily armed society has on crime rates," the group's website says.
McClusky agrees that guns can be an effective deterrent to crime. His current effort will include signs in each neighborhood telling potential criminals the guns have been distributed.
"You won't know where, and you won't know how many," he said.
The effort is locally supported by Black Weapons Armory, a gun shop that specializes in assault-style weapons. The shop will provide background checks and shotguns, said owner Tommy Rompel.
It will be a few weeks before the shop can get guns to residents, because a wave of "panic buying" followed the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Connecticut, which left 26 people dead, including 20 children.
Virtually every type of weapon the shop sells - handguns, shotguns and assault-style weapons - is on back order, Rompel said.
"After the Sandy Hook shooting, the entire nation basically went crazy buying guns," he said.

Encoding service behaviour with Conversation based actionsGary Brown May 14, 2008 8:59 AM
A new work programme has been started, as part of the Overlord governance project, to explore an approach for encoding the behaviour of a service endpoint (derived from a WS-CDL choreography description) as a set of ESB service descriptors with action pipelines. This work will initially tackle a subset of the behaviour that can be expressed in a WS-CDL choreography description, to create a mechanism that is capable of describing the core concepts of WS-CDL. The aim will be to provide:
a) a generation tool to create an initial implementation of a service (or services) from a choreography description
b) runtime support for the execution of services described in this manner
c) sufficient information to infer the service behaviour at compile time, and perform a conformance check against the choreography description to ensure compliance
There are two main aspects to this work:
(i) Defining a session management mechanism to represent the stateful behaviour of a service, and ensure messages are only sent or received if the service instance is in an appropriate state (in accordance with the choreography description)
(ii) Define the set of ESB actions that will provide the description of the service behaviour (for use in conformance checking), and provide the necessary runtime capabilities to enact the behaviour.
The significance of this work is that it will enable an SOA to be fully testable, from requirements gathering through to implementation.
Using the pi4soa tool suite (http://www.pi4soa.org), it is possible to gather requirements in the form of scenarios (like sequence diagrams with example messages), and then simulate them against a choreography description to ensure that the requirements are met by the choreography description. Once this work is completed, it will then be possible to generate the JBoss ESB actions required to enact a service endpoint's behaviour, and then continously check the ESB implementation for conformance to the choreography, as the service descriptors (and action pipelines) are modified.
This will significantly reduce the errors that may occur due to incorrect implementation of the behaviour, that currently can only be detected by testing the system at runtime.
To ensure continuous governance, it is also possible to monitor the execution of the ESB, to verify that the transactions continue to comply with the choreography description.

Taj Gibson got hurt again, and you watch, it will delay Derrick Rose's return.
Heck, it might convince Rose and his inner circle free of medical education not to return until next season.
It might not make sense to doctors, but it's easy to see how Gibson's re-injury and subsequent comments could influence Rose's rehab. In fact, it looks like a bunny if you've followed this soap opera, and who hasn't?
Rose's rehab has been the only interesting thing about the Bulls, and now it's not even that. Now it's just aggravating, and the Bulls are the most useless show in Chicago next to Tom Ricketts' negotiating and Dayan Viciedo's defense.
To recap, Gibson sprained the MCL in his left knee on Feb. 24 and missed 10 games. He came back on March 21 and re-injured the ligament Tuesday, seven games later.
"That's what happens when you rush back to try to help your team win,'' Gibson said after the loss in Washington.
Gibson seems to be wearing this. He is not blaming his coach, his general manager, the team doctor, his sneaker company or pizza endorsement. He is blaming himself for coming back too soon.
When you hear a Bulls player talk about re-injuring or tweaking a ligament because he rushed back, then you can see how this resounds to Rose's return because everything resounds to Rose's return.
Injury returns get murky at this point. Team doctors get questioned. Same goes for the coach's mentality to win every possession, even in the layup line.
But Gibson's statement would seem to give those with influence over Rose more influence in convincing him to miss this season.
Look, we've already heard Rose's brother, Reggie, loudly rip the Bulls for failing to improve the roster. We've also read the brother's rundown of his own knee injury and ultimate dead end, and the undeniable conclusion is that Reggie isn't going to let his little brother risk the same career-killing mistake.
Rose said he'll return when he's 110 percent. Rose also has said several times that only God knows when he'll return. You can explain to Rose that he'll never be even 100 percent and that doctors are a note from God, but he's not listening.
Nope, it seems Rose is looking around at all the players who come back from ACL surgery and then stink and remain hobbled, and he's now hearing his warrior teammate say he came back too soon.
At best, this delays Rose's return for a concrete reason. Scrimmaging seems to be the only way Rose will convince himself he's strong enough to survive NBA game activity, even if the whole concept is folly because you can't experience NBA game demands unless you're in an NBA game. But the injured Bulls don't have enough healthy players, so they have replaced scrimmaging with triage.
The backdrop, of course, is that the Bulls have no shot at the NBA title this year. Geez, they might not even have a shot at a complete roster for the first round. That has to affect Rose's decision, as well, no matter what anybody says.
Rose already was surrounded by a cautious groupthink. Now there are endless MRIs that will prompt even more caution. See ya next season.

Orchestra Iowa's 2011-2012 season concludes with a program featuring the music of Dvořák, Bartok and Shostakovich. Dvořák's Slavic Dance No. 8 is from a series of pieces inspired by Brahms' Hungarian Dances. Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is truly a piece that is meant to be heard live, as the strings are divided into two groups and placed antiphonally on opposite sides of the stage. Following a series of works denounced by the Communist Party, Shostakovich delivered a rousing symphony that not only pleased critics, but audiences too. What on the surface seemed to celebrate Stalin's regime may have in fact contained hidden messages protesting the very system it seemed to support.

A database created by a more recent version of SQL Server cannot be attached or restored to an earlier version. This restriction is simply because an older version cannot know about file format changes that were introduced in the newer release.
If you attempt to attach a database to an earlier version, you will get SQL Server error 948 with the internal version numbers listed in the error message text. For example, the following error occurs if you try to attach a SQL Server 2008 R2 database to a SQL Server 2008 server:
This is the first of a series of posts on SQL Server connection strings.
