DENVER (TheBlaze/AP) -- It's not all hippies backing November's marijuana legalization votes in Colorado, Oregon and Washington.
Appealing to Western individualism and a mistrust of federal government, activists have lined up some prominent conservatives, from one-time presidential hopefuls Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul to Republican-turned-Libertarian presidential candidate and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson.
"This is truly a nonpartisan issue," said Mark Slaugh, a volunteer for the Colorado initiative who is based in Colorado Springs, which has more Republicans than anywhere else in the state.
"States' rights! States' rights!" Slaugh cried as he handed out flyers about the state's pot measure outside a rally last month by Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. Quite a few passing Republicans took the flyer.
"It's fiscally prudent. It would be taxed, regulated, monitored. It makes a lot of sense to Republicans," he said.
Most Republicans still oppose legalization. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney vows to enforce federal law. When Ryan told a Colorado Springs TV station in September that medical marijuana was "up to Coloradans to decide," his campaign quickly backtracked and said he agreed with Romney.
When activists make their appeal, it goes like this: States should dictate drug law. Decades of federal prohibition have failed where personal responsibility and old-fashioned parenting will succeed. Politicians back East have no business dictating what the states do.

"What is the law against marijuana if it isn't the Nanny State telling you what you can do and what you can't do to your body and with your body?" asked Tancredo, a former Republican congressman from suburban Denver who briefly ran for president in 2008 and endorsed the measure on the steps of the state capitol. He compared federal law to New York City's ban on sugary sodas.
Tancredo launched a radio ad this week in which he compares marijuana prohibition to alcohol prohibition as a "failed government program" that, in this case, "steers Colorado money to criminals in Mexico."
"Proponents of big government have duped us into supporting a similar prohibition of marijuana -- even though it can be used safely and responsibly by adults," Tancredo said.
Pot supporters have lined up other surprising allies this year, even as many Democrats oppose the measures. Conservative stalwart Pat Robertson, for example, said marijuana should be legal.
In Washington state, Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Michael Baumgartner is running a longshot bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, who opposes it.
"It's taking a different approach to a very expensive drug war, and potentially a better approach," he said.
In Oregon, at least one Republican state Senate candidate backs legalization. Cliff Hutchison reasoned that legalizing pot would "cut wasteful government spending on corrections and reduce drug gang violence."
Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, is fiscally conservative but supports such liberal causes as legalizing marijuana, immigration reform and abortion rights. He's said that if elected he would pardon all non-violent prisoners convicted of marijuana-related offenses in federal court.

Pro-pot conservatives have counterparts on the other side - Democrats who say pot shouldn't be legal without a doctor's recommendation. Democratic governors in Colorado and Washington oppose legalization. Oregon's Democratic governor has not taken a stand.
President Barack Obama's administration has shut down medical marijuana dispensaries in California and Colorado.
Republican Colorado state Sen. Steve King is a frequent critic of Colorado's medical marijuana law. Conservatives abhor government, but they also fear legalization would increase children's drug use, he said. "It's pretty easy to come in and say, `Let's decrease government.' And I'm all for that. This just isn't the place to start," King said.
"We have a next generation to protect," he said.
What do you think -- should marijuana be legalized? Take the poll, below:

Howto: Make a genealogy website with Gramps
[[::Howto: Make a genealogy website with Gramps|English]]
This is a Howto on how to make a genealogy website with GRAMPS 2.2.x. and the NarrativeWeb plugin.
The website will be made with the narrative website report, of which the interface is described at: Generating Web pages. The goal is to offer a complete howto/tutorial on using this report, from conception, to uploading your genealogical website to an internet service provider (ISP).

Before you start
You can easily generate a nice looking web site from within GRAMPS.
Before you start you should have an idea about the data you want to have on the website. If you are not careful, and generate a webpage from your complete database, the amount of generated files can be huge, as well as taking up a lot of space.
How to limit the amount of data
If you have a large database, it is wise to start with a filter to limit the number of persons: In the People view of GRAMPS, go to the View menu, and activate the Filter sidebar. Next, go to Edit menu--> Person Filter Editor, and make a suitable filter. Read the help manual if necessary. Once a filter is defined, you can test it in the People view, by selecting the filter in the Filter Sidebar, and clicking find. You can combine filters (yes, it helps if you have experience with some basic and/or logic) until you have a selection of all the people you want on your website.
Make a Home Page, Introduction Page, and more
Before you use the plugin NarrativeWeb, you should make some custom pages with the information not yet in GRAMPS:
- a Home page: the starting page of the website
- Introduction Page: page where you can give an introduction of your research, ...
- Custom footnote: the footnote to appear on the site
- Custom header: a custom header to appear on the top of every page
- Publisher info: extra information on you, the publisher of the page, to appear on every page
Note that GRAMPS works with stylesheets, so the exact ordering, and look of the website is all contained in one file, the stylesheet, eg narrative.css. You should at this moment NOT concern yourself about style, only content, and some basic markup (paragraphs, italic/bold text, div sections, ...).
Go to the Media View in GRAMPS, and click on the add icon. In the Select a media object dialog, you need to click on the option Internal Note, and give a title, eg Home Page, Footer, ... Next, you select the new media object, and edit it (double click or Edit button). Everything you write in the Note tab of the media object, will appear on your webpage if you select this media object during the website generation.
If you know html, you can just type the text with the needed html codes. If you do not know html, consider making a page with a web editor like Bluefish, Quanta Plus, ... . These contain icons to dynamically create webpages. The html text created like this can then be copied in the note section of your Home Page GRAMPS media object.
Tip: if you are experienced with style, you can use specific div tags in your pages, and edit the style sheet to contain your custom tags.
Choosing the layout
GRAMPS has some nice standard layout schemes. Those are kept in so-called cascading style sheets (.css files). In GRAMPS 2.2.x, six are supplied. You are free to edit these files (other lettertypes, other colours, ...).
Whatever the style you choose, after generation, it will default to the narrative.css file which will be placed in the dir you indicate. If you have some experience with websites you can easily customise this one file and without changing the content files, your web pages will be completely changed to the form, colours, etc. that you specified. Do backup these changes, as you might easily regenerate your website and overwrite this file by error.
Examples of the 6 styles:
- Modern - See example Malengier
- Business - TODO
- Certificate - TODO
- Antique - See example The Coy Yaeger Ancestry Project
- Tranquil - TODO
- Sharp - TODO
If you make a nice custom style sheet, please share with other GRAMPS users. You can do this by adding a link to your webpage in the examples below and adding to your css file that its copyright is creative commons alike, or you can send it to the developers on: gramps-devel <at> lists.sourceforge.net
Generate the pages
In the Report menu, choose Web Page-->Narrative Web Site.
Chose a suitable directory where you want to generate your website locally. It is best to do this locally, and upload your website only afterwards.
In the Report Options Tab, set the filter you created. Choose a GOOD title for your webpage. Choose file extension: html (the rest is for experienced users), Set character encoding to Unicode (only use other encoding if you have very specific reasons). Choose the style you want and set the copyright notice (use the footer for specific extra legalese necessary in your country). Think about copyright! Ancestor graph generation relates to the how many ancestors will be visible on the people pages in a nice graph. Try different settings for this.
In the Page Generation Tab, choose the internal notes you created, as related above. I suggest you suppress the GRAMPS ID, as visitors are not interested in this. Be careful with the option Include images and media objects. Only choose this option if:
- your site can be VERY big
- you extensively use the private marker on sensitive data. Many people have burnt themselves with this option, publishing private email conversations they stored for research reasons in GRAMPS, on the net without realising.
The Privacy Tab is one of the most important settings . Make it a habit to never include private data, and restrict the information on living people. I suggest you set the years to restrict from person's death to a minimum of 25 years! This will prevent grave mistakes having sour consequences. Many genealogists have found themselves in disputes due to publication of information on living people. You have been warned. Also take into account local legislation (very strict in eg Italy, France).
Now you just click ok and GRAMPS starts generating your web page : a lot of files and directories will be made, so this will take some time. But when it is completed you will be the proud owner of a complete structure ready to publish on the WWW.
Regeneration of your site
Every time you change your database you need to regenerate your site to see the changes. Although GRAMPS will regenerate the entire site, only the pages with changed data will be different. You therefore need not republish all the website to the internet again, but can limit yourself to only upload the changed pages. Specific tools to do this exist, like sitecopy. See further.
Limitation: If you upgrade GRAMPS, changes might have happened to the website generation, meaning all pages will have changed. Investigate this before you upgrade, and consider the benefits of upgrading against this possible drawback.
Now you can publish your work on the web.
Size and provider
First, check the size of your web page. Go to the directory where you stored the web site, and in a modern file browser, right-click and select properties. This normally allows to calculate the directory size. Write down this info, and check your webhosting contract. Above a certain size, you will need to pay extra. Investigate before you burn yourself! If your site is too large, you can make a filter which produces a smaller website, or disable images, or split your site in pieces, and host it with different providers.
There are some free providers around: eg Lycos , but there are maybe better alternatives. Also GRAMPS offers free hosting of family website. Check out webhosting by the GRAMPS project.
Transfer your files
- sitecopy: This is generally the best option. Only changed pages are uploaded to the server hosting your website. You can install sitecopy with every distribution via the package manager. Read the manual, it is self-explanatory: type in a console
man sitecopy(or in konqueror type address
- rsync : This is for advanced linux users. It is a better solution than sitecopy, but you need full access to the webhost, which normal users normally not have. Rsync only uploads the changes to a file, whereas sitecopy uploads the entire file.
- ftp/ssh: You can also use a wide range of ftp clients to upload your site. The easiest for new users is in GNOME/KDE, go to Remote Places, and click to add a new remote place. Choose the settings for your provider (ftp/ssh, login, password), and now you can drag and drop files in Nautilius/Konqueror, like on your own PC. You can also use one of the many specific ftp applications, like gFTP (it should be in the repositories of your distribution). Basically you transfer all the files to the server and that's it. However : as you have probably seen, you created with "NarrativeWeb" an awefull lot of directories and files, so transferring the vast amount of files will take some time! If you update your site often, consider learning sitecopy!

Comparison with other programs
There are two types of genealogy websites: static and dynamic. Static pages are ideal if you are limited with webspace, or want full control over your data. You have a genealogical database on your PC, and you select the data you want on a website, you upload this, and you are finished. GRAMPS website generation belongs in this category.
The beauty of open source is that you can choose the environment to work with, and the environment to generate your website with. The benefits of collaborating should also not be exaggerated, however, it might be a good idea to offer in the footer of your GRAMPS generated website the option to send you feedback, like the example on this page.
Changes you can do - For more advanced Users
Changing your Home Page
If you made your own "HomePage", which I recommend strongly, you can easily edit this HTML file. Use a standard text editor (gedit will do quite nicely), and you can change the content. The same applies off course to the "Footer" and "IntroPage". If you know your way around with HTML you can add divs and extra markup. Remember to also put the newly defined div and classes in your edited css file.
Changing the narrative.css
As mentioned, with a standard text editor (gedit) you can adapt your css file. Not happy with the colours or fonts? Change them! The beauty of the cascading style sheet is that if you make a change here, all your pages will change. Dada! Now one thing to watch out for is that if you make changes and you finally obtained a good style sheet, that you save a backup in another directory than the one GRAMPS made. Why? The next time you let GRAMPS generate some webpages, the program will re-install the default narrative.css and bye bye changes. You can on regeneration of your website select the option in GRAMPS to NOT use a css, but this is easily overseen, especially if you generate different websites with different requirements
Go for the real thing
If everything went according to plan, you can repeat all the steps with a larger number of people. However, be cautious But hold your horses for just a sec First check out the amount of Mb this first attempt generated. This is important as your host limits the amount of data you can put on his server. Lycos for example (the free as in beer version) allows you a nifty 50 Mb. But as your database can hold an unlimited amount of persons and pictures this is easily obtained. A very important parameter is the amount of images (media objects) you put on your site. If you have, say 50 images of 500 Kb then half of your diskspace is gone already.
Splitting the database for hosting
What if your database is really really huge? I did not try this yet, but you could split your data, say the descendants of Jacobus Roelants on one Lycos site and the other part of the family the descendants of Sebadiah Johansson on another Lycos site and so on. It should be fairly easy to install links to switch between sites, eg in the home page, as the directory structure GRAMPS generates does not change.
Code modifications

How can you go wrong? I literally do not know anyone who was not delighted with the news that Poehler and Feyare going to host the often-completely-sleepy Golden Globe awards, although I'm sure you're out there, whispering behind your hand and hoping you don't get caught. Stay inside.
Let's not play around here. This is a big damn deal.
It's not just about the fact that there are women hosting, in a show that is usually hosted by men or sometimes by a disembodied voice ("Women hosting" is both completely overdue – like, in a way that is almost embarrassing - and kind of an afterthought), it's the fact that these are not just the funniest women on TV today, they just might be two of the most consistently funny people – except for Louis C.K., whom I'm sure will get multiple shout-outs and acknowledgements, or would if the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn't feel like he was kind of a weirdo.
But let's just confine our joy to the top three reasons this is awesome, shall we?
They Really Are Best Friends
I go back and forth on the whole "Poehler and Fey are besties" thing. On the one hand, I find it pretty condescending to each of them, and to our own intelligence. Neither of them has a closer friend who's, say, not also a comedic actress? They have to be Best Friends with each other only?
But then I think they're enormously busy, and have two kids apiece, and why wouldn't one of your closest friends be someone who understands exactly what it's like to be the face of a Thursday-night network TV show?
Either way, they're for-real friends, they have a for-real great time with one another, and isn't this the dream? To be able to do it together? Legions of tween girls are going to text one another all "when we grow up we can host the Golden Globes together!" and I am cynical and I am hard-hearted and all, but isn't that a way more laudable fantasy – even if it never comes to pass – than "when I grow up I can blackmail Justin Bieber by pretending I'm pregnant with his baby"? Two girls doing it together – we could do way worse as an example for our little girls.
Two Hosts Are Better Than One
Remember when Ricky Gervais made those dark, well-deserved digs on the Golden Globes broadcast and then everyone laughed their asses off in the ballroom? You might not, because that's not what happened. Some of his jokes were basically met by boos, and he had to sort of smile condescendingly in order to recover, which put him off-balance. But that won't happen here, because the easiest way to get out of a sticky situation is to have your cohost make fun of you before anyone else can. This would have been the case with Anne Hathaway and James Franco if she had felt like she could go off-script and mock him a little rather than just mugging and pretending like it wasn't happening.
The irony is that two live-tv veterans like Poehler and Feyprobably don't need the support – but that means they just get to have fun. To wit:
They Are A Stupendous Comic Pair
What I love about these two above all – the reason the "best friend" label doesn't feel as icky as it should – is how they are absof*ckinglutely equals. They are balanced in talent and demeanor. They can hold their own with one another, and – and! They're generous. Check out the clip below from the 2008 Emmys – it's gotten more play since this announcement: Poehler is the clear comic voice, while Fey is the straight woman. But Tina photobombed Amy at the Globes last year ….
(actually, upon reflection, that photobomb may have been this inspiration for this hosting gig)…and got every single laugh in their Palin/Clinton sketches on SNL. They're both secure enough in their funny that they can share the laughs. Which is when the magic happens.
Given that no host of any awards show ever has ever been complimented all like "they exceeded expectations" I don't want to build this up too much…
But still. Still.

Eagles get the right guy ... we think
UP OFF THE FLOOR, then. A splash of cold water on the face and away we go. Chip Kelly is the new coach of the Eagles. The Gus Bus has left town, replaced by what Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie believes will be the laser-quick offense of the future.
UP OFF THE FLOOR, then. A splash of cold water on the face and away we go. Chip Kelly is the new coach of the Eagles. The Gus Bus has left town, replaced by what Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie believes will be the laser-quick offense of the future.
You know it took a big bag of money to pry Kelly away from the clutches of the University of Phil Knight. So this is where the Eagles-are-cheap narrative goes to die an overdue, deserved death.
You know, too, that the Eagles are not settling here, and that they did not bungle their search, and that pretty much everything said and written in the last week about this process has been conversation in search of reality. Well, this is the reality: The guy they wanted all along - or at least one of the guys, along with Penn State coach Bill O'Brien - is now theirs.
People who loved the idea of Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley - mostly because they heard him say "[bleep]" and yell at his player on a YouTube video - could very well hate this. People who carry a fondness for old-style NFL football - who wanted to rekindle something they last felt when Buddy Ryan coached this team - and who disliked the way Andy Reid spent 14 years trying to outsmart people on offense, could also be in for a disappointment. Because if there is one thing you can surmise here, it is that Kelly plans to innovate on offense, and then he plans to innovate some more.
But in a league where you need to score 30 points even to think about winning most playoff games, and where the Patriots' fastbreak offensive attack has helped to make them the even-money favorite to win the Super Bowl, the Eagles have grabbed as their coach the most prominent practitioner of hurry-up football in the nation (and the guy who schooled both O'Brien and Pats coach Bill Belichick on the concept).
We do not yet know the details about what happened. We do not know why Kelly walked away from the Eagles after a long interview right after Oregon played in the Fiesta Bowl, or why he has had this change of heart, or how much the Eagles intend to pay him for the privilege.
What does this mean for Nick Foles, the immobile kid quarterback who seems miscast if Kelly wants to play read-option football to go along with the hurry-up? Don't know. What does it mean for Michael Vick, the expensive, aging quarterback on the roster who moves better than Foles but not as well as he used to move? Don't know.
There are a million unanswered questions here. The answers will come when they come. Critics will see risk - in the offense, and how it might translate to the NFL, and in the fact that Kelly has never worked in the league. It is fair to wonder. But to deny the potential upside is to ignore the trends that have been so evident in this NFL playoff season.
The truth is that the hiring of every coach involves a leap into the unknown. Would Bradley have been good at all of the making-the-trains-run-on-time stuff that successful NFL head coaches need to master? Would Mike McCoy have had enough of a commanding personality in a big media market? Would Ken Whisenhunt have been able to develop a quarterback after being dealt a bad hand in Arizona and probably making it worse? Would Brian Billick have been able to muster the enthusiasm after five seasons in the broadcast booth? Or Jon Gruden, for that matter?
You just don't know. There are plenty of things you don't know about Chip Kelly; again, granted. As with any new coach, there are no certainties here, except one: that a franchise that had grown stale has just placed an enormous bet on the future.

Spyware installed on computers leased from furniture renter Aaron's Inc. secretly sent 185,000 emails containing sensitive information — including pictures of nude children and people having sex — back to the company's corporate computers, according to court documents filed Wednesday in a class-action lawsuit.
According to the filings, some of the spyware emails contained pictures secretly taken by the rental computers' webcams or other sensitive information including Social Security numbers, social media and email passwords, and customer keystrokes, the Federal Trade Commission determined last year.
The attorneys also claimed Atlanta-based Aaron's hasn't properly notified at least 800 customers allegedly targeted by spyware made by DesignerWare, a company located in Pennsylvania.
"Because Aaron's has been so uncooperative in agreeing to give proper notice and assistance to its customers, we've had to ask the court to intervene and order them to do it, so that people can protect their most private kinds of rights and property," said Maury Herman, a New Orleans attorney who was one of several to file the documents.
Aaron's officials have previously said the company never installed the spyware on computers rented out of 1,140 company-operated stores and blamed individual franchisees for installing it. But the new filings claim Aaron's nonetheless received the secretly recorded data.

Attorneys for DesignerWare didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Aaron's said it was preparing a statement in response to the lawsuit that would be released later Wednesday.
The new allegations grew out of a Federal Trade Commission settlement last year and are contained in documents filed in U.S. District Court in Erie. That's where a Casper, Wyo., couple, Brian and Crystal Byrd, have sued DesignerWare, Aaron's, the local franchise from which they rented a computer in 2010, and 45 other unidentified franchises they believed were using the spyware.
The filings seek court permission to file a new complaint adding 54 franchisees based on the 185,000 emails since traced to Aaron's computer servers.
"Aaron's, like the proverbial ostrich, has buried its head in the sand, hoping this litigation would just go away without having to do anything to protect its customers," the Byrds' attorneys wrote.
The couple's May 2011 lawsuit claimed the manager of the Casper store showed Brian Byrd a webcam picture of himself operating a rental computer after the manager activated the spyware in the process of trying to repossess the computer, which the manager mistakenly believed the Byrds hadn't paid off under their rent-to-own agreement.
Attorneys for DesignerWare have since said in court documents its PC Rental Agent software is benign and simply helps rental companies track computer use and shut down the devices if customers don't pay.
But the FTC found, in a settlement publicized in September, the software could do much more when "Detective Mode" was activated: Capturing screenshots, taking webcam images, logging keystrokes and forwarding that information to Aaron's by email.
The FTC settlement bars DesignerWare, the Aaron's franchise that operated the Wyoming store, and six other businesses that operated rental stores from using any location-tracking software without customer consent and from deceptively collecting information.
On Wednesday, attorneys for the Byrds also filed a new lawsuit in Fulton County, Ga. — where Atlanta is located — on behalf of a customer who claims an Oregon Aaron's franchise tracked her physical location by having Detective Mode trace her Wi-Fi use of the computer.
That lawsuit, and the new documents filed in the Byrd's federal lawsuit, contends Aaron's corporate officials condoned the widespread use of the spyware on franchise rental computers.

If a Tax Invoice has been successfully generated from the South African Airways Tax Invoice System, the onus rests on the recipient to ensure that his/her mailbox has enough space to receive an e-mail - with a PDF attachment; and that his//her service provider or exchange server allows for delivery of such e-mails. South African Airways, can not take responsibility for undelivered e-mails due to any other reasons beyond our control including the above.
Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
11 January 2013. Johannesburg, South Africa – The National Transport Movement (NTM) served a notice to South African Airways (SAA) for strike action on Friday 11 January 2013. SAA met with NTM at the CCMA on 14, 15, 18 and 27 December 2012 to conclude the verification process that would allow the union to be recognised in the airline. The CCMA Commissioner's report was made available to SAA on 31 December 2012 where the following was highlighted:
*The Commissioner confirmed in his report that the union has 1, 111 members and needed to have 1, 220 to meet 30% of 4, 065 employees who are part of the bargaining unit. This therefore confirmed that NTM failed to meet the 30% threshold. This is why the NTM remains unrecognised at SAA.*
SAA would like to assure all its customers that there have been absolutely no disruptions to the flight schedule and that operations continue as per normal. The airline is committed to business-continuity and has activated a contingency plan to avoid any unnecessary inconvenience to our customers.
About SAA
South African Airways (SAA) is the leading carrier in Africa, serving 26 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa and internationally from its Johannesburg hub. It is a member of the largest international airline network, Star Alliance.

This article is quite old now. The code samples still compile with current versions of RCF, but for up to date information, please refer to this article:
RCF - Interprocess Communication for C++
The officially sanctioned way of making distributed function calls between C++ programs is to use CORBA, but for many applications, this is overkill. The CORBA specifications allow distributed function calls to be made between code written in any number of languages, and to make it all work, specialized tools need to be integrated into the build process, in order to translate object definitions written in CORBA's IDL to whichever native language is being used (C++, Java, etc.).
However, if we assume that the server and client are both written in the same language, let us assume C++, since it is possible to do away with these complexities. In particular, instead of elaborate definitions of interfaces and marshalling specifications, we can simply defer to C++.
Instead of separate IDL files with object interfaces, we specify the interfaces directly in C++ source code, using the preprocessor, and to marshal arguments across process boundaries, we use the native C++ serialization framework provided in the latest release of the Boost library.
As an example, a simple echo server looks like this:
#include <RCF/RCF.hpp>
RCF_BEGIN(I_Echo, "I_Echo")
RCF_METHOD_R1(std::string, echo, const std::string &);
class Echo
std::string echo(const std::string &msg) { return msg; }
int main()
int port = 50001;
RCF::RcfServer server(port);
server.bind<I_Echo, Echo>();
return 0;
And the client:
#include <RCF/RCF.hpp>
RCF_BEGIN(I_Echo, "I_Echo")
RCF_METHOD_R1(std::string, echo, const std::string &);
int main()
std::cout << RcfClient<I_Echo>("localhost",
50001).echo("my message");
return 0;
The Boost.Serialization library is used to serialize parameters and return values. It handles standard types and containers automatically, and is easily extended to user defined classes. It also allows us to serialize pointers, with proper handling of polymorphic pointers and multiple pointers to single objects.
There are three basic steps to using this framework:
The interface definition macros are used as follows:
RCF_BEGIN( type, type_id )
// ...
RCF_METHOD_xx( return_type, name, ....):
// ...
RCF_END( type )
type is the identifier for the interface, type_id is a string giving a runtime description of the interface. The RCF_METHOD_xx macros define the member functions, and are named according to the number of arguments and whether the return value is void or not. So, for a function func accepting two strings and returning an integer, we write:
RCF_METHOD_R2(int, func, std::string, std::string);
and if the function has a void return type, we would instead write:
RCF_METHOD_V2(void, func, std::string, std::string);
Dispatch IDs for each function are generated automatically; the first member function is numbered 0, the next one 1, and so on. So, the order in which the functions appear in the definition is important, unlike in CORBA, where dispatch IDs are based on the function name. The dispatch IDs are generated using templates and not any preprocessor __LINE__ trickery, so the interface does not change if blank lines are inserted. The maximum number of member functions that can appear between RCF_BEGIN() and RCF_END() is at the moment limited to 25, but this limit is arbitrary.
The purpose of the RCF_xxx macros is to define the class RcfClient<type>. This class serves as a client stub, from the user's point of view, but also has facilities that allow the framework to use it as a server stub. These macros can be used in any namespace, not just the global namespace.
Once we have defined an interface using the RCF_xxx macros, we can start a server and bind the interface to concrete objects:
// create the server and tell it which port to listen on
RCF::RcfServer server(port);
// Interface is the identifer of the interface we're exporting,
// Object is a type that implements that interface
// one object for each client
server.bind<Interface, Object>();
// ... or one object shared by all clients
Object object;
// tell the server to start listening for connections
// ...
// the server will shut down automatically as it goes out of scope
The objects are statically bound to the corresponding interface; there is no need for the object to derive from an interface class as is the case for traditional dynamic polymorphism. Instead, the compiler resolves the interface at compile time, which is not only more efficient, but also allows more flexible semantics.
The server can handle multiple simultaneous clients, even in single threaded mode, and can be stopped at any time. The lifetime of objects exposed by the server is determined by the number of current connections to the given object; once there are no more live connections to the object, a timeout is set, and when it expires, the object is deleted.
To make a client call, we instantiate the corresponding RcfClient<> template and pass the server IP and port number to the constructor. When the first remote method is called, the client then attempts to connect to the server, queries for the given object, invokes the requested member function of the remote object, and then returns the remote return value.
// define the interface
RCF_BEGIN(Interface, "Interface")
RCF_METHOD_R2(int, add, int, int);
// ...
std::string ip = "localhost";
int port = 50001;
RcfClient<Interface> client(ip, port);
// connect and call the add function
int sum = client.add(1,1);
// connection closed as we exit scope
Should any exceptions arise on the server side while invoking the requested object, an exception of type RCF::RemoteException will be propagated back to the client and thrown. Should any exceptions arise anywhere else on the server side, e.g., while serializing arguments, then the server will forcibly close the connection, and the client will throw an exception.
RCF will automatically handle a range of parameter types, including C++ primitive types (int, double, etc.), std::string, STL containers, and pointers and references to any of the previously mentioned types. Polymorphic pointers and references, and multiple pointers to single objects are correctly handled as well. Smart pointers are also supported (boost::shared_ptr, std::auto_ptr), and are the safest way of passing polymorphic parameters.
In CORBA, one can tag a parameter as in, out, or inout, depending on which direction(s) one wants the parameter to be marshaled. In RCF, the marshaling directions are deduced from the parameter type, according to the following conventions:
Value: in
Pointer: in
Const reference: in
Nonconst reference: inout
Nonconst reference to pointer: out
To use user-defined types as parameters or return values, some additional serialization code is needed. What that code is depends on which serialization protocols are being used; by default Boost.Serialization is used, and an example of passing a user-defined type would look like the following:
struct MyStruct
int a;
int b;
int c;
double d;
std::string s;
std::map <std::string, std::vector<std::string> > m;
template<typename Archive>
void serialize(Archive &archive, unsigned int version)
ar & a & b & c & d & s & m;
RCF_BEGIN(MyInterface, "MyInterface")
RCF_METHOD_R1(MyStruct, myfunc, const MyStruct &);
The server and client classes use BSD-style sockets to implement the networking, over TCP, and the whole framework has been compiled and tested on Linux, Solaris (x86 and SPARC) and Win32, using Visual C++ 7.1, Codewarrior 9.0, Borland C++ 5.5, and GCC 3.2. Building RCF requires v. 1.32.0 or later of the Boost library, although the only parts of Boost that need to be built are Boost.Serialization, and, for multithreaded builds, Boost.Threads. Multithreaded builds are enabled by defining RCF_USE_BOOST_THREADS before including any RCF headers.
To use RCF in your own application, you'll need to include the src/RCF.cpp file among the sources of the application, and link to the necessary libraries from Boost, along with OS-specific socket libraries (on Windows that would be ws2_32.lib, on Linux libnsl, etc.).
I've included a demo project for Visual Studio .NET 2003, which includes everything needed to compile, link, and run a server/client pair, with the exception of the Boost library, which needs to be downloaded and unzipped, but no building is needed.
Performance, as measured in requests/second, is highly dependent on the serialization protocol, and also on the compiler being used. Before turning to Boost.Serialization, I used a serialization framework of my own, with which I could clock around 3000 minimal requests/sec. using Visual C++ 7.1, and 3300 requests/sec. with Codewarrior 9.0, on a loopback connection on a 1400Mhz, 384Mb PC running Windows XP. GCC 3.2, on the other hand, was far slower. Using Boost.Serialization, however, I've been nowhere near these numbers; on average, it's around five times slower.
RMI is a well known concept in Java circles, what I've done here is to do something similar in C++, without all the complications of CORBA. If you like it, please tell me, if you don't, well, please tell someone else.... Jokes aside, any and all feedback is appreciated, all I ask is that if you grade the article, and do so with a low grade, then please leave an explanatory comment!

DETROIT — Cecelia Crocker's body provides her with a constant reminder of the most traumatic event of her life — one that she doesn't otherwise remember.
At only 4 years old, Crocker was the lone survivor of a 1987 plane crash that killed 154 people aboard and two on the ground near Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
In the new documentary, "Sole Survivor," Crocker breaks her silence, discussing how the crash of the Phoenix-bound jetliner has affected her.
"I think about the accident every day. It's kind of hard not to think about it when I look in the mirror," she said. "I have visual scars. My arms and my legs. And I have a scar on my forehead."
Crocker, 30, also sports an airplane tattoo on her left wrist.
"I got this tattoo as a reminder of where I've come from. I see it as — so many scars were put on my body against my will — and I decided to put this on my body for myself," she says in the film.
"Sole Survivor" is expected to have its theatrical premiere and widespread release later this year. Advance preview screenings were set this week in Royal Oak, Mich., and May 30 in Minneapolis.
The filmmakers permitted The Associated Press to view the film ahead of the screenings.
The movie focuses on Crocker — known as Cecelia Cichan at the time of the crash — as well as three other "sole survivors" of plane crashes: George Lamson Jr., a then 17-year-old from Plymouth, Minn., who was aboard a Galaxy Airlines flight that crashed in Reno, Nev., in 1985; Bahia Bakari, a 12-year-old girl who lived through a Yemenia Airways flight that crashed near the Comoros Islands in 2009; and Jim Polehinke, the co-pilot of a 2006 Comair flight that crashed in Lexington, Ky.
It's been more than a quarter-century since Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed in the Detroit suburb of Romulus. The plane was just clearing the runway at 8:46 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1987, when it tilted slightly. The left wing clipped a light pole, and the damaged airliner sheared the top off a rental car building.
The MD-80 left a half-mile trail of bodies, charred wreckage, magazines and trays of food along Middle Belt Road when it crashed.
The National Transportation Safety Board concluded the plane's crew failed to set the wing flaps properly for takeoff. The agency also said a cockpit warning system did not alert the crew to the problem.
Crocker's parents and brother were among those killed. They lived in Tempe, Ariz., at the time.
She was raised in Alabama by her aunt and uncle who shielded her from the media and others who sought to delve into her unique past.
Crocker said the enormity of what had happened didn't really hit her for a while.
"When I realized I was the only person to survive that plane crash, I was maybe in middle school, high school, maybe, being an adolescent and confused," said Crocker, who was interviewed by the film's director, Ky Dickens, over 1.5 hours in Queens, N.Y., in September 2011. "So it was just extra stress for me. I remember feeling angry and survivor's guilt. 'Why didn't my brother survive? Why didn't anybody? Why me?'"
As for returning to the air, Crocker "feels fine flying and does so quite often," Dickens said. "Flying doesn't scare me. I have this mentality where if something bad happened to me once on a plane, it's not going to happen again," Crocker says in the film. "The odds are just astronomical."

Hey, wow, our starting pitcher is slightly better than the opposing team's starting pitcher based on mostly-outdated pitching metrics!
As we look to shake off the hangover left after the Dodgers' noffense was unable to produce a single run on the night Vin Scully was honored with both a bobblehead and a celestial sign in the form of a rainbow from the baseball gods, we find ourselves 4.5 games behind the first-place Voldemorts. (editor's note: Deatheaters lost to Cubs earlier today so the lead at game time is down to 4.) In fact, many of us who were in attendance last night feel like we had our very souls sucked out of us, Dementor style, by the embarrassing lack of offensive firepower despite the potential that this lineup holds.
Someone -- anyone -- cast a spell or make our team ingest a potion that helps us break this slump and contend going down the pennant stretch. Let's avoid a Harangover tomorrow, shall we? We're really due, at least once a blue moon.

- Knowshon. Take all of his red practice jerseys away and keep him in green. He looked primed. His first run was the best nine yard run you will ever see and he embarrassed a DB by crushing him on a screen pass. The other backs looked good at times, but Samuel had a fumble and Caleb completely wiffed a protection that almost got Stafford blindsided. All the backs ran well and I'd expect the battle for the No. 2 spot at running back will continue.
- The receivers. Not a lot of obvious drops and I thought MoMass displayed excellent hands. I can only remember a couple of balls that could have been caught that weren't. A.J. and Durham each almost made great catches deep in traffic, but came up a tad short. A.J. on fade routes is going to score a lot this season. When Southerland comes back, we should be terrifying in goal line situations. Demiko, Durham, and Mike Moore looked much more reliable than last year.
- Blair Walsh placekicking. When you nail your first college field goal with room to spare, and from 52 no less, you've had a good day. I hope it looks just as simple in Baton Rouge, down by two, with five seconds left. Speaking of special teams, I thought Asher Allen looked real good on punt returns (even if he had a muff) and Reshad Jones can go if Asher's too overworked.
- Defensive line penalties. I lost count of offsides penalties. Jeremy Lomax was offsides twice on a single play, inducing the Willie Martinez furor gauge to redline, popping his eyes out of their sockets. Got to do better than that boys. I know you want a good jump, but after three yellow hankies, just start looking at the dang ball.
- Tackling. It may be that we have grown accustomed to sure tacklers, but our DB tackling was completely substandard. We wanted to nudge rather than wrap guys up. On a single play in the first quarter, three of our guys missed a GSU receiver. That has got to get better. It's early and I'm confident that Willie will get that worked out.
- Blair Walsh kickoffs. I don't know if Walsh will be our kickoff guy all year, but he had some very short kickoffs. I understand that we prefer to kick the ball in the corner, cut off the field and force a short return, but I doubt we want the kickoff to be fielded at the twenty. Walsh's first kick was great, driving the ball well into the end zone. The short kick, though, is going to get us hurt. Walsh himself had to make a tackle on a long GSU return.

1. Add or subtract a bowl
Two-bowl kitchen sinks have become fairly standard, allowing separation of clean and dirty dishes. However, some users want the simplicity and volume of a single basin. Single-bowl sinks are typically large enough for soaking big pots, defrost turkeys or maybe bathe a baby.
Other manufacturers are going the other direction — adding a third small bowl. These may be between the bowls or on one side. They are often connected to the disposal, but consider connecting one of the larger bowls to the disposal instead. This will allow you to scrape large bowls or pans directly into the disposal drain. Also be aware that a three-bowl sink may not be a simple switch. Many three-bowl sinks require an extra 12 inches of counter space.
2. Under-mount the sink
Under-mount sinks are a new trend, replacing the standard drop-in sink with a lip over the counter all the way around the basins. Under-mount sinks attach to the bottom of stone or solid-surface counters, creating a uniform, flush countertop surface and a more simple, attractive look. Users also say under-mount sinks are easier to clean. They make it easier to clen countertops, as you can just squeegee all the water and debris on the counter into the sink without a lip in the way. Another option is the tile-in sink. This sink's rim is flush with the tile countertop surface, and sealed in with grout.
3. Customize the shape
Perhaps the easiest sink to clean is a solid-surface acrylic or stone sink. These integral sinks can be directly molded into the countertop. They are quiet, durable and can be customized in any shape, but they are also among the most expensive sinks.
4. Get custom accessories
Some sinks come with colanders and cutting boards that fit perfectly over one of the bowls. No more juggling a colander and a boiling pot to strain pasta.
5. Bend the faucet
Gooseneck faucets create more space between the spout and the bottom of the basin. They make it easier to fill tall pitchers and vases, and to wash large pots. However, water may splash and create a mess if the faucet is too tall for the sink.
6. Get a deeper basin
Another way to add space is with a deeper bowl. The standard basin is six to eight inches deep, but newer models are inching deeper. A 12-inch-deep basin may be more convenient, but they will also be less comfortable for taller users.
7. Replace the handle
Try out the many types of kitchen sink handles, including levers, twist knobs and cross handles. Some prefer the ease of a single lever while others would rather have two separate controls. Both options now come with wrist blades, which are a great option for hands-free manipulation, particularly if you struggle with finger and hand pain.
8. Add a pull-out sprayer
Many sinks have an extra hole in the back right corner, providing space for one of three optional accessories — sprayers, hot-water dispensers and filter faucets. Sprayers help make it easier to clean vegetables and dishes. If you don't have the extra hole available for a separate sprayer head, consider a detachable sprayer in the main faucet head.
9. Add a hot water dispenser
Hot water dispensers deliver 190-degree water on demand through a separate faucet mounted on the sink. They use a heater mounted under the counter, requiring an electric receptacle, but not a separate water line.
10. Add a water filter
Finally, you can treat the water flowing into the sink with a filter on the water line. The most common models use replaceable carbon filters that eliminate many contaminants and odors. Other filters use reverse osmosis or boiling and distillation. Filters can also be attached to a separate faucet mounted in the hole that is often used for sprayers or hot-water dispensers.

Tips for decorating chairs at your wedding
The chairs might be overlooked at your wedding, but you can make a statement with how you decorate them.
Sashes: Putting sashes that match your wedding colors on chairs during the ceremony can add a subtle, elegant touch.
Ribbons: Ribbons can add a decorative touch to the chairs. You can have them flow from the backs of the chairs or tie them in a bow.
Themes: If you're having a themed wedding, carry the theme onto the chairs. For example, if it's a destination wedding, put items that represent the location (sea shells, tropical flowers) within the sashes or ribbons on the chairs.
Photos: During the wedding ceremony, consider putting images of the bride and groom on the chairs lining the aisle. They can go chronologically, so as the bride walks down the aisle she ages from a baby into her current age.
Colorful seats: Instead of adding covers over the chairs, consider adding colorful seat cushions in your wedding colors. These will make a colorful statement.
Sheer chair covers: Instead of a heavy linen, consider covering the chairs with a sheer material.
Flowers: Attach flowers (either a small bouquet or a large statement flower) to the backs of chairs.
Skirt: If you don't want to cover the entire chair, consider adding a skirt that makes a statement – such as a sheer, ruffled skirt.
Sequins: If you're looking to make a statement, consider covering the chairs in a sequined material.

Need motivation? There's an app and a gadget to measure life
A growing category of devices and software applications promises to measure the mundane details of our daily lives: calories burned, diaper changes, caffeine intake and household chores.
Welcome to the measured life.
When Tim Davis of Beaver, Pennsylvania, tipped the scales at 318 pounds (144 kilograms) two years ago, he bought a Fitbit gadget to track his physical activity and the Lose It! app on his phone to track calories.
He bought a Wi-Fi-enabled scale that published his daily weight on his Twitter feed and turned to other apps to track his pulse, blood pressure, daily moods and medications. At one point, Davis said he was using 15 different apps and gadgets, which he said helped him drop 64 pounds (29 kilograms) by the following year.
A growing category of devices and software applications promises to measure the mundane details of our daily lives: calories burned, diaper changes, how much and how well we sleep, caffeine intake, kids' studying habits, household chores, even whether a baby is nursing more frequently on Mom's left breast versus her right.
The apps have become increasingly sophisticated, tapping into a niche market of everyday consumers and aspiring amateur scientists to conduct mini-experiments on themselves.
'It's the second-by-second, minute-by-minute changes that really did it,' said Davis, 39. 'If you're the type of person who likes gadgets and devices and to collect metrics, you're also the kind of person who does not like gaps in data.'
These self-tracking consumers don't necessarily have high-tech backgrounds. But they like pie charts and graphs. They want their achievements highlighted in green, their failures coded red. They also want to compete, against themselves and others, and to create digital scrapbooks that can be referenced years from now.
'I don't know if I'd use the word 'obsessed,'' said Ernesto Ramirez, a self-tracking devotee who helped to organize a two-day conference on the subject last week in San Francisco. Speakers at past 'Quantified Self' conferences have included a man who developed his own app to see if he could walk every street in Manhattan and a dad who used trackers on his kids to monitor chores.
'I think there's an overall trend toward curiosity and proving knowledge of one's self in the world,' Ramirez added.
A pediatrician in Kansas City, Missouri, Natasha Bugert, said apps that track newborn feedings and sleep patterns have become wildly popular among her patients and she now encourages parents to send her the data before their appointments.
'In the first few weeks, parents are so tired. It's really hard for them to give you objective data,' Bugert said.
Public health advocates and researchers say tracking technology could be used to encourage people to use less gasoline, conserve water or drive slower by giving them real-time feedback on their daily habits. It also could expose causes of medical conditions that baffle doctors.
HopeLab, based in Redwood, California, is one nonprofit looking to harness technology to improve health. It has developed a $30 movement tracking device for kids called a 'Zamzee,' and a website that rewards activity with online points and badges.
HopeLab has developed video games for young cancer patients that lets them pretend to blast cancer cells. Researchers there say their studies have shown that the game improved patients' moods and encouraged them to stick with treatment.
Ramirez said he thinks the next step will be embedding sensors in nearly everything a person encounters throughout their day and linking that information together. Think of a car that won't start if you've consumed too much alcohol or a light bulb that changes colors when it's time to go to bed.
Industry watchers say these kinds of data-driven apps are finding their place in a market that has struggled to profit from advertising.
Raj Aggarwal, CEO of Localytics, a Boston-based analytics firm, says mobile games are still by far the most popular among consumers, but their fan base can be fickle. If a data-logging app is useful enough, it can convince consumers that they should pay for upgraded subscriptions or premium services that earn the developers money.
One mobile app called 'GymPact' has found a novel way of making money off its consumers' data. The app lets people bet against one another as to whether they will go to the gym. The nonexercisers have to pay the exercisers, with GymPact taking a cut.
But what becomes of all this data?
In theory, most apps let you delete your information. But programs such as the FitBit reserve the right to keep and analyze your information, and possibly pass along the data to third parties to make sure the program works as promised. What would happen if these tech companies decide to package and sell all that data? Could a person ever be denied a job or life insurance, for example, if their mobile app showed they tried but never quit smoking?
Poorly encrypted data or lax privacy controls could become a problem, too.
In 2011, some FitBit users were surprised to see their sexual activity logs pop up in Google searches; that's something FitBit's privacy settings allowed at the time unless a
person knew to opt out. FitBit has since modified its policy to keep hidden more sensitive data unless someone configures his or her account specifically to share it.
As for Davis, he said his biggest mistake was letting his FitBit gadget lose its charge last year. Without the continual feedback, and perhaps a mobile app to remind him, Davis' motivation waned and his weight climbed to 292 pounds (132 kilograms).
But Davis insists he won't stay that way for long. He has persuaded his family members and co-workers to wear self-measuring devices, sparking a friendly rivalry.
'Keep an eye on me,' he said of the months ahead. 'I think you'll see a difference.'
