NEW YORK -- After most of the fans who flocked to the Garden had left, Austin Trout hopped on the top rope, his championship belt still around his waist, and pointed in appreciation to the ones who stuck around in celebration.
Trout had started the night about as unknown as any champ in the sport. Without a doubt, he made a name for himself in New York with the signature victory that had eluded his title reign.
Trout roughed up Miguel Cotto late to win a 12-round unanimous decision and retain his share of the 154-pound title Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Trout remained unbeaten and used lopsided scorecards to end Cotto's run as the undisputed champion of the New York fight scene.
"All I wanted was a chance," Trout said. "That's all I asked for."
He made the most of it at the Garden.
Trout (26-0) grated skin off Cotto's battered face, leaving the challenger red and swollen, after cranking up the pressure over the final two rounds to truly take control on the scorecards. Cotto (37-4) lost his second straight fight after dropping a piece of the 154-pound title to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May.
Billed as "No Doubt" Trout, he never wavered even as a raucous pro-Cotto crowd was against him from the start. Two judges scored the bout 117-111 and the third had it 119-109.
"I hope they bring me back to New York," he said. "I loved fighting in the Garden."
Cotto used to feel the same way. He long ruled in New York, turning the city into his own home-ring advantage, winning all seven of his fights at the Garden, plus one at Yankee Stadium.
Trout delivered in easily the biggest and most high-profile fight of his career. The 2004 U.S. Olympic alternate grinded out a championship reign in Texas and New Mexico and was a relative unknown on the national scene.
No doubt, that has changed.
"I've been preparing for this fight my entire life," he said. "Fighting someone like Miguel Cotto is a dream come true for someone like me waiting for their big moment. I had to show him I was the biggest guy and push him back a couple of times. I kept pushing him back to show he had no advantage there."
Trout truly swung the scorecards his way with stiff punches to the head and relentless jabs that shook Cotto.
Cotto, a four-time world champion, stormed out of the ring after the 12th and tersely asked who the fans thought won the bout. But this bout was no popularity contest. The 32-year-old Cotto wanted to time to think with his family before deciding to fight again.
"I'm not finished yet," he said. "I still have boxing in my mind. I just want to rest with my family the rest of the year."
Trout got second billing in the pre-fight introduction, walking out first, a member of his team holding the title belt high over his head -- the intro traditionally reserved for the challenger. But Cotto's company, Miguel Cotto Promotions, helped promote the fight, and he was the main reason why 13,096 fans came to the Garden. They serenaded him with "Cotto! Cotto!" chants as he walked to the ring and they never let up until the end of the 12th round.
Trout's trunks read "Keep Up." Did he ever.
Not even getting called for a pair of low blows did much to shake Trout in what was essentially a road game for the champ. Trout was nailed in the sixth with a big left to the head. Cotto briefly put Trout against the ropes to end the 10th. Cotto put the fans on their feet when he connected with a series of body blows that left Trout reeling. Trout needed some extra time to start the 11th to adjust his gloves.
Trout did enough in his fourth title defense over the final two rounds to keep his WBA super welterweight belt.
"They shouldn't have a question who Austin Trout is now," he said.
Canelo Alverez, holder of the WBC 154-pound belt, was in the crowd, and received some of the loudest boos of the night. Alvarez seemed next in line to fight Cotto, in a potential epic bout, as early as May. But those plans are likely on hold and Trout still might not be marketable enough to get that spot. Trout called out Alverez after the fight and proclaimed himself ready to add another belt to his collection.
Before the main event started, there was a moment of silence and a 10-bell salute for Hector "Macho" Camacho, who was shot in the face Nov. 20 while sitting in a parked car and died four days later.
In the big undercard match, Danny Jacobs, from Brooklyn, defeated Chris Fitzpatrick via TKO in the fifth round as he continues his comeback from bone cancer. The one-time rising star in the sport won for the second time since he was sidelined for nearly 19 months because of a form of bone cancer that led to partial paralysis in his legs.
Jacobs busted open Fitzpatrick's scalp early in the fight and pummeled him in the fifth, forcing the stoppage.
"I'm glad I got the rounds in and the ring rust out," Jacobs said. "I feel like I'm back. Obviously, I want to step up my competition. But I don't want to jump the gun just yet."
Trout's win came in one of the rare main events these days at the Garden.
Earlier in the day at a New York restaurant, a press conference was held for the Danny Garcia vs. Zab Judah fight Feb. 9 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Barclays Center has quickly claimed its turf in the New York fight game as Madison Square Garden's days as a fight mecca have dimmed beyond the occasional Cotto fight. Some of the epic heavyweight bouts in history, including the first two Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fights, were held in the Garden.
The remodeled arena is no longer boxing's regular showcase for the stars.
But for a night, MSG had room for one more great fight.

Coping with debt after your partner dies
It's difficult to think about practical matters after the death of a partner. It can be even more daunting when you have debts to deal with at the same time.
You may like to watch our animation video below for information on coping with debt after your partner dies.
Talk to the companies you owe money to
Your first step should be to talk to the companies, your local council or anyone else you owe money to. Let them know your situation and what you can afford to pay them. If you don't feel confident doing this on your own, any of the free, independent debt advice agencies will help (see below).
The companies and organisations you owe money to might agree to temporarily freeze the interest you're being charged or even lower or pause the repayments.
Find out more about how to talk to the people you owe money to
Use the letter template below to write to the companies you owe money to, to notify them if you are concerned about making your payments due to the death of a partner and to request a temporary change in your payments.
Download letter template (DOC)
Debt repayment options
There are a number of debt repayment options open to you, including:
- An informal arrangement – where you agree to make regular payments over a period of time to your creditors
- A debt management plan – which sets out how much you will repay and agrees a timetable for repayment
- Moving all your current debts into one loan – this is called debt consolidation
Worried about your rent or mortgage?
It can be particularly worrying when you are struggling to keep up with your mortgage or rent payments.
- If you own your home, contact your mortgage lender and ask them what options are open to you. You could ask them to temporarily freeze your mortgage, known as a mortgage payment holiday. There are some things to be aware of before you do this – read Mortgage payment holidays.
- If you're renting, let your landlord know if you think you'll fall behind with your rent at any point – you don't want to risk eviction for non-payment – so it's best to be upfront about your situation. See if you can negotiate a lower rent for a short while.
- You could take in a lodger if you have space. You're allowed to receive up to £4,250 a year rent, tax free, from letting out a spare room. Read more in Rent a Room scheme – how it works and tax rules.
- You could also think about moving to a smaller home to save on your rent or mortgage. If you own your home, the sale might also free up some extra cash.
- If you have a family member that you could move in with, even temporarily, that might also be very helpful, although it also has downsides for both parties.
- If you are renting, check whether you are eligible to claim Housing Benefit. Find out more on the GOV.UK website.
- If you own your home, you may also be eligible for government help, which you can read about in Government help if you can't pay your mortgage.
- For more detail on your options, read Mortgage arrears: if you have problems paying your mortgage or Problems paying your rent.
- If you're worried that you might be made homeless, you need to get expert advice – visit the Shelter website or call them on 0808 800 4444.
If you can't pay all your debts and bills
If you're unable to meet all your bills and debt repayments, you should prioritise what you pay for. Start by being clear which of your debts are priorities.
Priority debts
Things like your mortgage, rent, any other secured loans (such as a car hire-purchase agreement) and any tax and some utility bills are classed as priority debts. Failure to pay these debts could have serious consequences – you could lose your home or be evicted, have your electricity or gas cut off, or have essential items (such as your car) repossessed.
Non-priority debts
Things like credit card bills, unsecured loans, bank overdrafts and catalogue debts are classed as non-priority debts. The consequences for non-payment of these aren't quite as great. The companies you owe can't take your home, for example, but you could be taken to court and ordered to pay an amount that is judged to be affordable from the income that you have.
Always give priority to your mortgage/rent and household bills. Your credit card company may be quicker to remind you of a missed payment, but don't be tempted to take risks with the roof over your head.
Where to get free help
There are sources of free, independent advice if you're struggling to pay your bills and manage your debts. They can support you in talking to and writing to lenders and can offer you a personalised debt plan. Or, they can suggest other options if they are more appropriate.
If you want help managing your debts, try contacting the following organisations.

As Valentine's Day approaches, my mind is on romance. I've been working on a romantic Valentine's dinner menu. One where each course includes chocolate. Try as I might to focus on the menu, even a chocolate menu, my mind keeps wandering to Italy. I know I'm not the only one that connects romance and Italy, right? There are, however, particular places in Italy that are more enchanting than others.
Those places are etched in my mind as spots I want to return with that someone special. Spots that induced "oohs" and caused heavy breathing from long inhales and deep sighs. So magical, they deserve their own stories that start "Once upon a time" and end "happily ever after;" the place where the prince first kisses the princess.
Is this a cheesy, goofy, girly post? Yes, I guess so! I'm a hopeless romantic. Remember, I'm the one that rejected a gondola ride that included an offer to steer the gondola, to wait and ride with my anima gemella (twin of my soul/soulmate). Although this post may tilt way on the side of "for the girls" hopefully, my dear male readers, I haven't lost you. If you're planning to whisk someone away on a romantic trip to Italy, for Valentine's Day or any other occasion, these little wanderings of mine could certainly be of help.
Here are my picks for ten best places to kiss in Italy. You'll see a pattern in my choices. For me, water - be it an ocean, lake or river, along with long stretches of beach or promenades, and evening lights qualify as molto romantico. I know there are far more than ten, but I'm hoping you, my fellow Italophiles and romantics, will help by adding your favorite(s) to the comments:
Rome - Castel Sant' Angelo on the Terrace of the Angel
Rome has many breathtaking hilltop views, but this is my favorite and, for me, the most romantic. At the top of a castle with the Archangel Michael above, sword in hand, standing guard, your "prince charming" (principe azzurro) beside you, the Eternal City all aglow below, and the hills of Rome twinkling in the distance.
Taormina - Piazza IX Aprile
View from Piazza IX Aprile in Taormina
Most of Taormina rests on the seaside cliffs of Sicily's eastern coast. The lower part of the city is home to two beach areas. Of course it's a city for romance. The bustling Piazza 9 April is midway along the long, mainly pedestrian street, corso Umberto I. You can snuggle in a corner along the railing at the rim of the piazza and look onto the eastern coastline of Sicily and the sprawling Ionian Sea. The clock tower (Torre dell'Orologio) and St. Agostino Church are at the other end of the piazza. While I was in Taormina, every night I saw countless brides and grooms strolling hand-in-hand out of St. Agostino and the other churches in the city.
The Aeolian Islands - A boat ride around Stromboli
Definitely a spot for romance are all of the Aeolian Islands. A boat ride around Stromboli at dusk and an evening ride back to Lipari stands out in my mind as the most romantic part of the trip. Stromboli erupted and spewed it flames of lava. (If only I were with my "one true love" instead of being bothered continually by a pesky marinaio.) The pesky sailor did point out La Stella di Venere ("star" of Venus, actually the planet), which I had never seen before. On the night ride back to Lipari, you could clearly spot the Big and Little Dippers, called Orsa Maggiore and Minore in Italian. (If the sailor wasn't good for romance at least he was good for learning a few new words in Italian.)
Vernazza - From Above or Along the Harbor
I couldn't leave "my happy place" off the list. At dusk atop the hill overlooking Vernazza, you will certainly be alone. I would suggest bringing a bottle of wine AND a flashlight. Winding your way down in the dark, can be a struggle, even without having had any wine. For those who don't want to climb, the harbor is just as romantic.
Anywhere in Venice
I believe the water and the reflections of the city - its lights, its buidings, its glass - flickering above the water's surface does something to your senses. How can you not feel amorous here? Kiss on bridges, in a quiet calle, along the small canals, on the steps of Santa Maria della Salute, on Giudecca - looking out at the Doge's Palace and the Campanile, in the back seats of an empty vaporetto. Possibly the best place of all is St. Mark's Square when it's virtually empty, very late at night.
Florence - Ponte Santa Trinita: Looking onto the Arno and the Ponte Vecchio
While students, tourists and young lovers pack the Ponte Vecchio, take a stroll along the Santa Trinita bridge for a bit of quiet, and a view of the Ponte Vecchio and the lights along the Arno.
Camogli - The Beach at Dusk
Camogli, one of the many picturesque towns in Liguria, has a long stretch of beach. After the daytime crowds depart, this stretch of beach allows you to carve out a private spot for smooching and watching the sun set on the Ligurian Sea. To top it off, Camogli celebrates lovers during St. Valentine's Day and the week preceding it. The festival is called "Innamorati a Camogli." Hotels have special deals for couples, there are art and poetry competitions dedicated to love, and hearts are strung everywhere in the city. You can add your heart to the fishing nets along the harbor.
Sorrento - Belvedere di Sorrento
View from Belvedere di Sorrento
Naples and the Gulf of Naples from Sorrento
Behind the Convent and Cloister of San Franceso is the terrace called Belvedere di Sorrento. You have sweeping views of the coastline, a look down the cliffs onto the Marinas Grande and Piccolo of Sorrento, and out onto the Bay of Naples. Many couples end their walks through Sorrento here, cuddled together against the terrace railing or along the park benches.
Lago Maggiore - The Terraced Gardens on Isola Bella
The island on Lake Maggiore houses Palazzo Borromeo and one of the most spectacular gardens in all of Italy. The terraced gardens lush with greenery, flowers and statues are a sight all by themselves. Adding to the beauty are the white peacocks that roam the gardens, the views of Lake Maggiore and of the mountains, snow-capped in Winter and Spring. The variety of plants in the garden provide color from March to October. The beauty of both the gardens and the surrounding views make it a perfect place for a prince and his princess. Actually, legend has it that the ladies of Count Borromeo's household asked him to build the palace on the island because they didn't want to hear the prisoners' cries from the dungeons in the mainland's castle.
Napoli - Via Partenope
Via Partenope is part of a long stretch of road that edges along the sea, the lungomare, in Naples. It runs from the neighborhoods of Santa Lucia to Mergellina. Along the Via Partenope stretch is a long promenade with views of Castel d'Ovo and Mt. Vesuvius in the background. Other lovers have left their mark along this classic lovers' stroll. Along the promendade, look out for padlocks, painted with couples' names and locked around poles.

I am not Michael Fahey. I do not understand the appeal for grown men of My Little Pony, a franchise my little sister thought was rubbish when she was nine.
If you are Michael Fahey, though, you may go bananas for this custom My Little Pony Xbox 360, with hand-etched plexiglass, paint scheme and fancy lighting system. Even the controllers get the treatment.
The amount of detail this man has to go into to explain the colours is a little frightening.

We made some explosive art using paint, baking soda, and vinegar in baggies. Directions found here at Share and Remember.
It was really neat.
But following the recipe and staying on the paper were only the beginning. Free for all is more our style.
After making several exploding baggies, CB declared, "And now, I'm going to experiment."
And they both did their own thing.
CB: It's thick. I didn't add in much vinegar. I added in lots of baking soda.
I'm being a scientist.
And for the grand finale!
The purple is the star of the show!
BBD: I'm mixin'.
This needs some red. {insert each and every color}
I need more vinegar.
I need more baking soda.
Prettiest puddle ever.
The paper became rather obsolete.
"Daddy's going to like all these colors on his concrete!"

Subscribe To Sylvester Stallone And Robert De Niro Come Out Swinging In New Grudge Match Poster Updates
I've already subscribed
Grudge Match, on its surface, looks like little more than "Rocky versus Raging Bull," with one-time silver-screen boxers Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro getting into the ring for director Peter Segal's feature. The new poster, which arrived via the film's Facebook page, paints Grudge Match as a drama. Man, how I wish that were the case.
Maybe I should have realized, given Segal's track record – his resume includes several Adam Sandler vehicles, from 50 First Dates and Anger Management to the Longest Yard remake – that Grudge Match was going to exploit its Hollywood veterans for easy laughs. Also, comedian Kevin Hart gets as much run in the advertising campaigns for as bona-fide dramatic actors Kim Basinger and Alan Arkin.
But it was the Grudge Match trailer that ultimately tipped me off to the fact that this movie wants to be Meet the Parents or The Bucket List more than it wants to be Rocky or Raging Bull … films that had something meaningful to say about boxing and the men who compete in the sport. Have you seen the clip yet? Check it out below:
Stallone actually has been keeping in shape thanks to multiple Expendables movies and this weekend's Escape Plan. The sight of 70-year-old De Niro in that green jumpsuit ready to record his part of a video game makes me sad. Watching these guys reclaim their alleged boxing "glory" throws me into a deep state of depression. I'd rather just play as Rocky Balboa in the various video game versions that have been in stores over the years!
The video game angle, by the way, was played in a better fashion in Stallone's respectable Rocky sendoff, Rocky Balboa … but I digress. Grudge Match sets its sights on crowd-pleasing, and Hart rips off a handful of winning one-liners. With a Christmas Day release, Match easily could connect with Parental Guidance and The Guilt Trip-type audiences who want an antidote to somber awards contenders like Out of the Furnace or August: Osage County. How about that poster? Is it a one-sheet you'd want hanging on your wall?

These Terms and Conditions of Sale ("Agreement" or "Terms") shall apply to all quotations and offers made by Western Digital Technologies, Inc. or its SanDisk affiliates ("Seller"), and purchase orders accepted by Seller, for SanDisk products either provided as a service ("Services") or sold or licensed as applicable (collectively, "Products") hereunder by Seller.

Seller's acceptance and fulfillment of Purchaser's order is expressly made conditional on agreement by Purchaser to the Terms hereof, and Purchaser agrees that, by receiving and/or using the Products, Seller's actions do not constitute acceptance of any of Purchaser's terms and conditions and do not serve to modify or amend this Agreement. The purchase of any Product is separate from any other order for any other Products that Purchaser may receive or has received from Seller. Each Product sale shall constitute a separate Agreement.
2. PRICES AND TAXES. Unless otherwise agreed by Seller in writing, the prices shown are stated and payable in U.S. dollars, and are based on Delivery terms set forth below. Seller may decrease Product prices at its discretion at any time without notice. Seller reserves the right by giving five (5) calendar days prior notice to Purchaser ("Price Increase Notice Period"), to increase prices on Products scheduled for shipment after the Price Increase Notice Period. Purchaser may, no later than the conclusion of the Price Increase Notice Period, cancel Purchaser's order only with respect to such Products whose prices were so increased and scheduled for shipment after the conclusion of the Price Increase Notice Period. Purchaser will pay all additional costs incurred by Seller due to interruptions, engineering changes or modifications caused or requested by Purchaser. All prices are quoted, all orders accepted, and all billings rendered are exclusive of all federal, state, and local excise, sales, use, manufacturer's or state or local privilege, duties, value added or similar taxes applicable to the sale of the Product hereunder, or to this Agreement, which shall be paid by Purchaser. Such taxes, when applicable, will appear as separate additional items on the invoice/order acknowledgements unless Seller receives a valid tax exemption certificate from Purchaser prior to shipment. All personal property taxes assessable on the Products after Delivery to a carrier at any facility of Seller or its contractors or agents, as determined by Seller, shall be borne by Purchaser. Notwithstanding any price quotation provided to Purchaser, the minimum charge per order is U.S. $100.00 or equivalent amount in local currency as specified by Seller (net of tax).
3. PAYMENT. The terms of payment shall be net thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Each invoice will be dated the date of Delivery of the Products. Purchaser shall pay Seller, promptly on demand, interest on overdue accounts at the lesser of the maximum rate allowed under applicable law or 18% per annum. If manufacture or Delivery of Product is delayed by Purchaser, payment shall become due on the date when Seller is prepared to make Delivery or on the date which manufacture is delayed and such payment shall be made based on the contract price and the percentage of completion. Unless expressly agreed in writing by Seller, no inspection, testing or acceptance criteria of Purchaser shall relieve, delay or modify Purchaser's payment obligations under this Agreement. Products held by Seller or Purchaser by reason of Purchaser's delay shall be held at the risk and expense of Purchaser. Seller may refuse to accept or deliver all or a portion of orders, and may require payment in advance and/or other terms of payment, if at any time Seller determines that Purchaser's credit balance with Seller or Purchaser's financial condition justifies such actions. In the event any proceeding is brought by or against Purchaser under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, Seller shall be entitled to terminate or cancel any order of the Purchaser then outstanding, in whole or in part, and shall receive reimbursement from Purchaser for its cost to date of cancellation. Purchaser's obligation to pay for the Products is not contingent on performance of any other services or delivery of other products.
4. ORDER, DELIVERY, TITLE. Unless Seller agrees otherwise, the Products will be delivered to Purchaser, at Seller's sole option, either: (1) Ex Works (EXW) (INCOTERMS 2010) at Seller's (or its contractor's or agent's) named place as determined by Seller; or (2) FCA (INCOTERMS 2010) at SanDisk Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. located at 388 Jiang Chuan Dong Road, Minhang District, Shanghai ("SDSS Site") the People's Republic of China ("PRC") (collectively, "Delivery"). Notwithstanding the subsection (2) hereof, Purchaser shall be responsible for loading the Products delivered by Seller at the SDSS Site. Title and risk of loss to the Products transfer to Purchaser at the Seller shipping point. Products will be deemed accepted by Purchaser at the time of title transfer. Purchaser covenants to export from the PRC the Products delivered by the Seller at the SDSS Site within seven (7) days from the competent PRC governmental authority's approval of the export declaration submitted by or on behalf of Seller for such Products. Written acceptance of these Terms by Seller or Purchaser shall not constitute a guaranty of delivery of Products, since such delivery remains subject to provisions in these Terms as well as available market supply and other market considerations. The quantity of any installment of Products as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller's place of business is conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Purchaser on delivery unless Purchaser can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Any liability for Seller's non-delivery shall be limited to, at Seller's option, delivery of the undelivered units or adjusting the invoice for the respective Products to reflect the actual quantity delivered.

Police make arrest in UMd. robberies as fourth incident probed
Nico Robinson arrested in connection with Oct. 10 incidents
The Prince George's County Police Department said it made an arrest in connection with two armed robberies and an attempted robbery of three University of Maryland students, but at the same time, they're investigating more incidents from over the weekend.
Authorities said the first three incidents happened Oct. 10 in College Park.
Police said officers arrested 17-year-old Nico Jaleel Robinson at his home in the 9200 block of Edmonston Road in Greenbelt in the early-morning hours on Sunday. Investigators said they recovered a number of items inside the home that were related to the robberies.
Robinson is charged as an adult and faces armed robbery and related charges and is being held with bail set at $200,000. Officials said he will likely face additional charges.
Meanwhile, police are investigating another case in which two students said they were robbed by two men around 9:30 p.m. Sunday near Calvert Road. The pair told police they were jogging when an armed man demanded they hand over whatever they had.
Police said one of the victims gave the men some cash before the gunman and his lookout took off running.
Neither victim was injured. Police are still looking for suspects in that case.

Endpoint Protection 11.0 is still an ideal security platform if you need a thick security blanket for a midsize to large enterprise
Network security suites
Security software suites offer more than antivirus protection
Red Condor Hosted Service
Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection
Triumfant Resolution Manager
Trend Micro Version 6.0 Advanced
Performance: AFeatures: B+Ease of use: B-Value: A+Price: $49.54 per computer for networks containing five to 249 computers
If you have the budget for a small team of tech-savvy network administrators and your midsize agency demands the toughest security available, Symantec's Endpoint Protection 11.0 offers the features and performance you need at a good price.
The reason we emphasize having the admins is because we found this program to be the most complex and least user-friendly in the roundup. The suite's limitations on network diversity are also disappointing. The program protects predominantly Microsoft Windows machines.
Although the next iteration of Endpoint will include protection for Unix, Linux and Mac OS machines, we feel that an antivirus solution offered to midsize to large enterprises should already have the capability to protect multiple operating system platforms. Finally, we found several of the messages and prompts to be confusing, even those geared to clients.
Despite those issues, we liked everything else about Endpoint Protection 11.0. Priced at $49.54 per computer for networks containing five to 249 computers and $23.52 for every computer after 250, Symantec's Endpoint Protection is the most aggressively priced software in the review.
When we learned about the price, we expected bare-bones antivirus software from Symantec, but Endpoint Protection does a good job at attempting to be an all-in-one network solution that includes policy and protocol creation.
Endpoint uses TruScan, a proactive threat scan to protect networks against unseen malware — that is, bugs whose signatures are not known. Instead of using signature-based technology, Endpoint detects malicious code by looking past individual actions to target malicious processes.
Endpoint also comes with a robust and comprehensive firewall with a feature called Smart Traffic Rules, which helps adminstrators avoid having to set up special firewall rules to handle common network configuration settings, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and Domain Name system requests, across the firewall.
The firewall also includes automatic settings that can be found under the Traffic and Stealth Settings tab, which enable reverse DNS lookups and stealth-mode Web browsing. Those features prevent a Web site from being able to figure out which operating systems and Web browsers your enterprise uses.
Endpoint would be a clear front-runner for a Reviewer's Choice designation. But we want to wait until Symantec supports more operating systems and works on making the interface a little easier to use before it receives the full designation. Although Endpoint 11 is not perfect, it's still an ideal security platform if you need a thick security blanket for a midsize to large enterprise.

Watch Jennifer Lopez + Jimmy Fallon Groove (and Feud!) in 'Tight Pants' [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Jennifer Lopez may not have wanted to dance with Jimmy Fallon and Jennifer Lawrence at a recent party, but she more than redeemed herself on 'The Tonight Show' last night, performing a ridiculously hilarious number about 'Tight Pants' with the host himself.
Wearing a brown, mop top wig, blue striped turtleneck and tight, white skinny jeans, Fallon looked every inch of an awkward '70s dancer when he came onstage last night, setting the scene for one of the funniest performances we've seen yet (and there have been a lot!)
"Everybody's looking at my tight pants," Fallon sings. "I got my tight pants, I got my tight pants on." (We're telling you: this tune will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.)
But the comedian's happy-go-lucky mood is soon destroyed once the 'First Love' singer takes the stage, dressed in an eerily similar outfit, including (gasp!) matching tight, white pants that she sings about with fervor.
As soon as Fallon takes issue with J. Lo's matching ensemble, Lopez sticks up for her white pants like there is no tomorrow.
"Well, that's funny, because yesterday I ran into Mayor Barleycorn and he presented me with a plaque that declared my pants the tightest in all the land," she tells Fallon, who quickly contests her argument.
And that's when Lopez gets serious.
"Listen up you little b—-," she demands, pointing her finger in Fallon's face. "You better hide your wife, you better hide your kids, because I will cut you. I will cut your father, I will cut your mother. I will scratch you. Don't make me take off my heels!"
C'mon, Jimmy. You know better than to mess with Jenny From the Block — especially when she's wearing her tight pants!
Check out the hilarious video above.
Whoops! See J. Lo + More Celebs' Embarrassing Wardrobe Malfunctions

The Wittenberg Tigers got their running game in gear, putting two tailbacks over 100 yards and cruising to a 49-7 Homecoming victory over Hiram.
The win moved the Tigers, ranked seventh by the American Football Coaches Association and eighth by d3football.com, to a perfect 6-0 on the season, while Hiram dropped to 1-5. While the two teams are both members of the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC), this game was a non-conference affair after Earlham's departure to the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference this year altered the schedule unexpectedly.
After a slow start, Wittenberg scored 21 points over the final 17:35 of the first half. All three scores came on the ground as senior tailback Corey Weber (Pataskala, Ohio/Watkins Memorial) hit paydirt from two yards out late in the first quarter and junior tailback Conner Warye (Maineville, Ohio/Kings) tallied from 52 yards and two yards in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, junior wide receiver Michael Cooper (Springfield, Ohio/South) caught an 18-yard touchdown pass and senior tight end Mat Guida (LaGrange, Ky./Oldham County) laid out for an 11-yard scoring reception. Weber added a 21-yard touchdown reception from junior wide receiver Josh McKee (New Carlisle, Ohio/Tecumseh) to open the fourth quarter, and senior wide receiver Bill French (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay) rounded things out with a 12-yard touchdown catch. In between, Hiram got on the board with an 11-yard scoring strike from Brendan Rehor to Glenn Campbell.
The biggest difference in the game were the two teams' rushing attacks, as Wittenberg piled up a season-high 277 yards on 38 carries. Warye had his best day as a Tiger, rushing for 119 yards and two scores on just nine carries, while Weber added 112 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. On the flip side, Hiram managed just nine yards on 21 carries.
Through the air, Wittenberg was paced by Cooper with 70 yards and a touchdown on five receptions, while McKee added three catches for 48 yards. Junior quarterback Ben Zoeller (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier) finished 14-of-28 for 212 yards and two touchdowns.
Defensively, junior linebacker Zach Hurtt (Fort Thomas, Ky./Highlands) led with seven tackles, a pass broken up and his team-best third interception of the season. Four other players accumulated six tackles each, while senior cornerback Keenan Freeman (Fairborn, Ohio/Greenon) contributed three tackles, three passes broken up and a fumble recovery.
The Tigers are back home again next week for an NCAC match-up with winless Kenyon.

Transportation Overhaul Bill Set to Pass Senate
The Senate is poised to pass an overhaul of highway and transit programs that gives states greater flexibility over how they spend federal aid, streamlines environmental regulations to get projects built faster and seeks to generate greater private investment in transportation projects.
The Senate is poised to pass an overhaul of highway and transit programs that gives states greater flexibility over how they spend federal aid, streamlines environmental regulations to get projects built faster and seeks to generate greater private investment in transportation projects.
More than 20 amendments — including proposals to allow states to charge tolls on interstate highways, provide tax credits for alternative energy and cars that run on natural gas, and permit more flights over the Grand Canyon and other national parks — are set to be decided Tuesday in an all-day marathon of voting.
The bill has unusual bipartisan support. Its chief co-sponsors, Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., frequently are described as political polar opposites.
The measure would spend $109 billion over less than two years. That's far short of the level of spending that two congressional commissions have said is needed if the U.S. is to maintain its aging roads and bridges and bus and train systems, and to expand the national transportation network to meet population growth between now and 2050.
Senate Democrats have been pitching the measure as a jobs bill, predicting it would create nearly 3 million jobs. But economists say it's not certain the bill would create any more jobs than would be created by the same amount of money spent on something else.
The bill would increase the flow of highway aid to states by adjusting current spending levels to take into account inflation over the past several years. States would have greater discretion over how to spend the money, but the bill also would create a new regime of performance and project eligibility requirements aimed at preventing waste and making sure national goals are met.
A credit assistance program that helps leverage private investment for transportation projects of national and regional significance would be increased tenfold to $1 billion. In the past, the program has been able to generate as much as $30 in private capital for every $1 in aid, Boxer has said.
The measure also would reduce the number of federal transportation programs by roughly two-thirds in an effort to eliminate duplication. Bicycle, pedestrian, safe routes to schools and rails-to-trails programs — which were targeted by Republicans — were preserved by moving them into a larger congestion mitigation program where they would have to compete with other programs for money.
Safety measures in the bill would toughen regulation of the long-distance and tour bus industries, including setting deadlines for government requirements that buses have seat belts, improved roof strength, anti-ejection window glazing and rollover crash avoidance systems. The bus industry transports about 750 million passengers a year, roughly the same as the domestic airline industry.
One thing the bill doesn't do is resolve how to keep the Federal Highway Trust Fund solvent. The fund pays for highway and transit programs, but revenues have declined while spending has remained the same. The largest source of money for the fund is federal gasoline and diesel taxes, which have been down for several years because of the economic downturn and because the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks is increasing.
The bill pays for highway programs through next year through a combination of fuel taxes, cuts to other federal programs and tax changes, but then leaves the trust fund empty. Some senators have been critical of the provisions that are supposed to pay for transportation programs since they raise about $10 billion over 10 years, but spend it in the first two years.
The highway bill "is so popular that members on both sides of the aisle are willing to kick the can down the road," Sen. Bob Corker, D-Tenn., said. "I think the American people understand that passing a bill that spends money over two years and tries to recoup it over a 10-year period is a highway to insolvency."
Lawmakers are under pressure to act quickly. The government's authority to levy federal fuel taxes — which raise about $110 million a day — and to spend money from the trust fund expires March 31.

Sleep away camp!
What do your kids do over summer?
Summer is here and parents have been spending a lot of time looking for childcare, camp, or fun activities for their kids. What will your kids be doing this summer?
Unfortunately we have not had enough money to send our kids to camp. We are in that middle ground where we don't qualify for scholarships and can't find funds to send them. I am very envious of those who have been able to maneuver a summer camp experience for their kids, but we have not found a way to do it. Instead, we look for local experiences for them. In Genesee county there is a decent amount of recreational activities that are free or low cost through the parks department, and we have utilized their one day activities when we can get to them. The Boys and Girls Club of Flint has also been very affordable and when my daughter and grandson were younger they enjoyed going there because they took weekly field trips and went swimming at the YMCA once a week. It was good for them to socialize there also, lots of good kids. During one summer I was able to find the funds to have my kids go to the art classes at the Flint Institute of Arts, which was a wonderful experience for them!
Otherwise, they have spent time with their friends riding their bikes, doing enrichment work and helping around the house. Now that they are older they are spending more time playing video games and chatting with friends on the computer, but I also have them mowing the lawn, helping with some big projects around the house (we will be painting the bathroom this year and repairing the tile there, working in the garden and community garden, and doing some major yard work) and they are both looking for a part time summer job. My daughter likes to do crafts so I am going to work on teaching her the patience to crochet and knit and possibly sew.
we go on a few vacations, visit family, etc. my sister takes then lots of places like muesuems, day trips, movies, stuff like that.
Fun at home. We go to the beach, indoor playground, and visit family. My kids are only 2 1/2 and 2 months. I do lots of DIY projects and crafting with my oldest. He enjoys it!
Hi all you mom's out there! I'm a student doing research about how Mom's buy fast food for their children and trying to make improvements in the industry. If you guys have a minute to spare to take my survey (and perhaps pass it along to your friends :) ) that would be awesome! Thanks so much!
Where we live it's about 112 in the summer. So we play outside early in the am and late in the evening. We use Rebecca Cohen's 15 mins outside book to keep the learning going and the outdoor fun alive. When the girls were little I actually posted a list of 25 activities we could do on the fridge so when I was over-the-top tired connecting was as easy as a glance. It helped a lot:).
My kids are still little ages 7 and 3 so for us it will be swimming lessons, bible day camp, camping at a cabin on the lake, seeing family and friends that will be visiting over the summer, and going on bike rides to name a few also some much needed down time.
A few weeks of camp.
Beach trips.
Movie day (for when Mama just can't muster the energy or enthusiasm for anything else)
baking day
smoothie day
Travel Town
Kids museums
We have only about 6 weeks between the end of school and the beginning of next school year. I think this list will keep us occupied.
They are counting down the days until they go to camp! It's specifically a Music and Drama Camp in a lovely mountain setting with amazing food! They LOVE it there! This will be their fourth year!
That sounds great. Can I ask the name of this camp?
They go to Shrine Mont, in the lovely hills of Virginia. Here's their link: http://www.shrinemont.com/v.php?pg=17 It's a beautiful place, with wonderful fellowship. The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia provides numerous scholarships for kids who can't otherwise afford camp. It's only their generosity that has allowed my kids to go, as I'm a single mom of four. It's a wonderful blessing!

How do you pronounce Façonnable?
Today's story on the federal lawsuit by upscale clothier Façonnable hits on a host of weighty questions about free speech, internet privacy and the rights of the defamed. And then there's this one: How the heck do you pronounce that name?
The retailer was founded in Nice, France, according to its contested Wikipedia page, so you would suspect the pronunciation to come with a certain Gallic flair. In an earlier story on the lawsuit, we went with the pronunciation guide fa-so-NAH-bluh.
But to hear it for yourselves, click on over to the site Forvo, where you can listen to audio recordings of people pronouncing the company's name — one by a woman from France and another, less ornamented version, from a man in Australia.
Then you can go forth with confidence to impress the Nordstrom clerk.

Herbert Thomas walked into the Sunoco convenience store on North Nova Road on Tuesday to play the Cash 3 Florida Lottery.
But when he overheard a conversation about Wednesday's Power�ball jackpot and drawing, he couldn't resist.
DAYTONA BEACH — Herbert Thomas walked into the Sunoco convenience store on North Nova Road on Tuesday to play the Cash 3 Florida Lottery.
But when he overheard a conversation about Wednesday's Power�ball jackpot and drawing, he couldn't resist.
"I usually don't play it," said the 52-year-old Daytona resident after purchasing a $2 Quick Pick ticket. "Nobody ever wins these things."
Well, almost.
But Thomas is one of millions expected to try to claim the second-largest jackpot ever offered — a whopping $550 million, behind only the $656 million Mega Millions prize in March. The total cash payout is expected to be $360.2 million before taxes, according to the Powerball website.
Daytona Beach resident Jordan Williams, 19, was sent on a mission Tuesday by his grandmother, who lives in New Jersey, to buy some tickets. He purchased $30 worth.
"She thought if she bought tickets in other states, she might have a better chance winning," he said. "It's just her thing."
Those chances, however, are very slim — about 1 in 175 million. Since 2009, when the Powerball first came to Florida, Volusia and Flagler counties have yet to sell a Powerball jackpot ticket, said Florida Lottery spokeswoman Shelly Gerteisen. Kissimmee, Hollywood, Orlando and Bradenton are the only cities to have sold past winning tickets.
Flagler has not even had a substantial Powerball winner ($200,000 or more) while seven have claimed such a prize in Volusia.
"We'd love to have a Florida winner," Gerteisen said.
Barry Gibson, assistant chairman of the school of mathematics at Daytona State College, said a little knowledge about odds means his students don't want to play the lottery as the semester ends because they see the futility of it.
To prove his point, he related these odds: There's 1 in 2.5 million chance of getting hit by lightning; 1 in 18,000 chance of being murdered and 1 in 250 chance of being the parent of a child genius. Even less likely to happen than winning Powerball is the 1 in 300 million odds of being eaten by a shark, he said.
Despite the odds, many people are curious to see if they can win.
"I got one too,'' he said of the Powerball tickets.
The chances of having a lone winner, though, decrease as more people buy tickets – and they have been selling at a record pace.
Gerteisen said after no one claimed the jackpot Saturday, $2.2 million worth of tickets were sold statewide on Sunday — twice the amount of the highest selling Sunday ever on record for the state. A day later, tickets were being bought at a pace of about 1,200 a minute around 11 a.m. Monday, she said. By Tuesday, between 2 and 3 p.m., tickets were selling at 5,043 tickets a minute.
The frenzy has left service station employees ready for increased business Wednesday.
Mike Kaynatma, who manages the Port Orange BP at 1702 Taylor Road, likes to think his store could sell the lucky ticket. In September, a $4 million Florida Lottery prize was sold at the store.
Kaynatma estimated the store will sell $4,000 worth of tickets Wednesday. Stores have an incentive to sell a winning ticket. Kaynatma's store received $20,000 off the $4 million winning ticket. The gas station would stand to receive an estimated $95,000 if it sold the Powerball jackpot ticket.
"(Wednesday) is going to be very busy," he said.
Some of the gas stations managers are even trying their luck.
Vinod Vullampardhi, manager of the Sunoco on North Nova Road, already has his ticket stashed away.
"It's worth trying," he said.
Even past lottery winners can't stay out of the fray.
Leo Galieno, who won the $4 million prize, still plays Powerball every Wednesday and Saturday.
They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, but don't tell Galieno that.
"I'm a firm believer that you create your own luck," he said. "Everybody has a chance to do this."
$500 million total jackpot
$327 million lump sum payout
$16.6 million annual payment over 30 years
42 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands play Powerball
$1 of the $2 cost of a ticket goes to the prizes; the other $1 is kept by the states and used for specific expenditures like education or deposited in the general fund.
25 percent of the jackpot goes to federal taxes

Quarterback Matt McGloin had the go-ahead score on a 5-yard touchdown run with 2:37 left and Penn State rallied from 11 points down in the fourth quarter to beat No. 24 Northwestern 39-28 on Saturday.
The Nittany Lions scored three times in the final 9:49, starting with McGloin's 6-yard touchdown pass to Allen Robinson as the receiver dragged along the back line of the end zone. Michael Zordich had a 2-point conversion run to get within 28-25 before McGloin's scramble into the end zone sent the homecoming weekend crowd into a frenzy.
Penn State (4-2, 2-0 Big Ten) then stuffed Northwestern's last-gasp drive after Trevor Siemian's pass for Kain Colter was tipped away on fourth down.
Things looked so good for Northwestern (5-1, 1-1) after Venric Mark's 75-yard punt return for a touchdown with 50 seconds left in the third quarter demoralized the blue-and-white faithful for a 28-17 lead.
Mark also ran for a score and finished with 72 yards on 13 carries.
The Wildcats couldn't get to 6-0 for the first time in 50 years. Even worse for Northwestern, the loss continued a disturbing trend of second-half collapses against Penn State. The Wildcats had halftime leads the previous two years before falling to the Nittany Lions.
This year, they couldn't hang on to an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter.
Adding to his reputation as a bold play-caller, Penn State coach Bill O'Brien decided to go for two after Robinson's fourth-quarter score. Zordich rumbled up the middle to get the Nittany Lions within three.
After bending in the middle of the game against Northwestern's high-octane spread, Linebacker U. didn't break in the fourth. Dual-threat quarterback Kain Colter found his running lanes filled with swarming defenders, and defensive backs smothered the receivers.
McGloin struggled at times, too, but bounced back in the clutch. McGloin directed blockers in front of him as he rolled right but couldn't find a receiver. So the savvy senior just got into the front corner of the end zone for the touchdown.
McGloin finished 35 of 51 for 282 yards and two scores. Zack Zwinak ran for 121 yards and a score on 28 carries.
A week after dismantling Indiana for 704 yards of total offense, Northwestern hit a speed bump in Happy Valley. The Wildcats were outgained 443-247 in total offense and 30-14 in first downs.
Yet they still were in a good spot in the third quarter after Colter had a 10-yard scoring run with 3:12 left before Mark's terrific punt return touchdown about two minutes later for a 28-17 lead.
Colter, who had nearly 300 yards of total offense last week, was held to five carriers for 24 yards and three catches for 17 yards. Robinson finished with nine receptions for 85 yards and two touchdowns.
Penn State Races Past No. 24 Northwestern
Wildcats 28, Nittany Lions 39
Quarterback Matt McGloin had the go-ahead score on a 5-yard touchdown run with 2:37 left and Penn State rallied from 11 points down in the fourth quarter to beat No. 24 Northwestern 39-28 on Saturday.


text: I've been thinking about this character. Was she supposed to be a shape-shifter? She is quite shrouded in mystery, a Horde member or Rebel? If they make this character, I think they should give her at least 3 different faces, not just a nice vs. evil face. It would also be cool if you could swap her chest emblem with a Horde symbol. I also prefer the green version to the blue and purple.

so yeah i got this problem. i have to do a program and the first part of it is user input.
i have 5 choices. 4 are an int and one is a char.
heres the code i got so far.
oh and btw the keyboard class is a class my teach gave me for my class cause we are complete beginners its basically used for user input.int reponse; System.out.println("1-Plus longue repetition de nucleotide"); System.out.println("2-Liste des sous-sequences communes"); System.out.println("3-Plus longue sous-sequence communes"); System.out.println("4-Alignement optimal"); System.out.println("q-Quitter"); reponse = Keyboard.readInt(); System.out.println(reponse); if (reponse == 1) { } if (reponse == 2) { } if (reponse == 3) { } if (reponse == 4) { }
so as you can see i did an if for all the int reponse but what about if the user enters q? how do i check it?
sorry if its in french but the code is still in english right.
looking forward to your help

I'm on a roll this week, playing in my sewing room, pulling fabrics out and saying, "I wonder what this will go with...."
So I've had this multicolored plaid fabric for a very long time. At one point, I made a couple of zippered cosmetics cases out of it, but hesitated on using it in a quilt. It would need to not 'compete' with other fabrics or be wrong for the style of the quilt.
Then I found just enough off-white fabric left over from something else, and a deep red that somebody traded to me at one time, and used the pattern called "Pinwheels and Rectangles" by Quilt in a Day publications.
It went together quickly.
I'm really surprised how much my husband and son like this one. I think it might be good as a lap rope for someone in a wheelchair, or as a wall-hanging.
I apologize to those who may get dizzy looking at this!

Sampling Programmes & Global Logistics
Off-Site analysis of lubricating oils, fuels and greases require a sample to be taken and transported to one or more centrally located laboratory. The used lube oil sample has to be accurately documented, securely sealed for transportation. An additional requirement for marine fuel samples is tamper evidence of the sealing system itself. Parker Kittiwake have always had a specialisation in this area having operated many major marine Used Oil Analysis and Bunker Fuel analysis programme logistics. Assembly and shipping can be undertaken from locations in USA, UK and Malaysia. Contact Parker Kittiwake for a list of references.
Marine Potable Water and Sewage Effluent
This is a legislation driven requirement under the ILO Maritime Labour Convention 2006, predicted to come in to force in Q1 2012. Parker Kittiwake manufacture a very wide range of mainly drop test reagents and powder sachets for water testing. We retained the marine specialisation to serve our specific customer base having divested the industrial water test division to The Tintometer Ltd. in 2011. Look here for a single one stop and convenient answer to this reporting requirement and avoid potential Port State inspection problems.

This is an early draft and not yet ready for comment.
Mylar milestones are released 1 week after Eclipse milestones. Click to view open bugs.
- 2.0M1: February 16, 2007
- 2.0M2: March 30, 2007
- 2.0M3: May 11, 2007
- 2.0RC1: June 15, 2007
- 2.0: June 29, 2007
The first goal of Mylar is to make task and context management seamlessly integrated with the Eclipse Platform by providing rich and extensible frameworks for task repository connectors, structure bridges and team support. The second goal is to provide a reference implementation of the Task-Focused UI for the Eclipse SDK. This includes structure bridges for the artifacts supported by the SDK which include Java, PDE, Ant and generic files. It also includes the Bugzilla Connector as the reference task repository implementation, and CVS integration as the reference team support. Additional features can be considered based on the availability community contributions and resources.
In addition to using the planned themes listed below, we need to continue prioritizing the ongoing input of our growing user community. Committers should prioritize bugs in the following order. This order need not be used if a bug contains a community contribution of a patch, in which case the quality of the patch determines the priority.
- Frameworks & APIs: Tasks, Context, Team, Monitor, headless use
- UI: Tasks List, Task Editor, Task-focused UI
- Connectors: Bugzilla (reference implementation), Trac (committer supported), JIRA (community supported)
- Eclipse 3.3: supported
- Eclipse 3.2: supported, post 2.0 maintenance builds only
- Requires Java 5 and later
Legend: in progress, completed, optional
Task List
- Support date view in Task List. A common way of organizing tasks to work on in the current week is by day. We should support this by integrating the Task Activity view's date range container presentation with the Task List. (147084)
- Support integration with planning and calendaring tools. Many task repositories have facilities for task planning in the form of milestones, due dates, and other organizations of tasks. The Task List and Task Editor should support such extensions, for example, allowing the Task List to be organized by milestone. (Calendaring, privacy controls) (e.g. 152490).
- Support task dependencies. Many tasks are related to other tasks, whether it's because they should be worked on in sequence or are subtasks. We should make these dependencies explicit in the Task List and Task Editor. (137543)
- Support working set groupings. A Task List that includes projects from multiple "working spheres" (e.g. Project A, Project B, Personal) can become unwieldy and distracting. Integration of top-level working sets could address this.
Task Editing
- Increase Task Editor information density. The task editor is a very frequent target of interaction, and we need to continue streamlining it. When opened it should show the user the most relevant information with minimal clicking and scrolling required. (158921).
- Improve task activity timing. We currently have a task activity mechanism, but it is not explicit enough, and does not capture time spent outside of the workbench. It should also be extensible to OS-specific monitoring. (135668).
- Provide task workflow mechanism. There are many common workflows, such as commit/complete/deactivate. We should provide a mechanism for specifying and executing task-related workflows. This requires direct editing of task data (i.e., without editor submission). (160780, 124224)
- Streamline task creation. Make it easier to create tasks, fork them, or promote local tasks to repository tasks. (154896, 152211)
Task Repositories
- Make offline cache faster and more robust. The offline cache is currently one large serialized file. We should make it more robust so that changes to connectors and the framework do not cause the offline data to be cleared. This should make it possible to put a repository into offline mode permanently, and never lose the task data. (165809)
- Streamline task searching. It is currently impossible to search through local and cached task data. We could improve the search experience by providing Google-style syntax in the Task List find box, e.g. severity=critical. (bug 163341)
- Improve connectivity problem and performance handling. Lack of or degraded connectivity should be transparent, and jobs should be cancellable. (165833)
- Improve synchronization control. (offline mode for repositories bug 165809, finer-grained control bug 165473)
- Provide standard XML for for tasks. We should create a canonical and extensible XML for for tasks that we use for retrieving task data. Connector providers returning this form would not need custom attribute mappings.
- Improve consistency between local and repository tasks. Need to consider how to promote task between local and repository, and whether local tasks should be a kind of repository. (12431)
Task-Focused UI
- Provide preview and editing of task context. For submitting and retrieving contexts, or wanting to inspect a context for a non-active task, we should provide a preview pane. This should also support operations such as merge and element deletion. (bug 107259)
- Support debugging views. This includes improved filtering of the thread tree, and automatic toggling/loading of breakpoints with task context.
- Preserve element identity through refactoring. Currently only the active context participates in refactoring. We either need to maintain a dependency map to update the element handles of inactive contexts, or migrate them when they are activated, via the refactoring history. (164243)
- Improve error handling and resolution. When an error happens, we should do automatic duplicate detection, and if no duplicate is found prompt to submit a bug to the failing plug-in.
- Generalize task and context storage mechanisms. Our API currently specifies files and paths as the storage mechanism, but it should be general, to allow for alternate mechanisms such as server-based storage.
- Improve representation of people. Support real names, selecting CCs, content assist for fields with people. The user's identity should be represented in the UI (e.g. different icon when user appears in the CC list).
- Hyperlinking everywhere. Wherever structured elements show up, we should be hyperlinking them (e.g. bug 165827)
- Personal monitoring and usage sharing. We require data from the Mylar monitor to inform our UI design. We should also make this data available to others, since it will include general Eclipse usage statistics. In order to provide users with an incentive to share their (anonymous) usage data we should include personal interaction monitoring facilities.
