Webinar | State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible?
Webinar | State of the World 2013: Is Sustainability Still Possible?
The word "sustainable" has come to be all but meaningless, generally used to connote a practice or product that is slightly less environmentally damaging than the conventional alternatives. This webinar, based on the 2013 edition of Worldwatch Institute's flagship annual report, State of the World (subtitled Is Sustainability Still Possible?), will aim to restore the word to its original environmental meaning. The key question is can sustainability be shown to have a scientific foundation? And if so, what do theory and current data say about the sustainability of our global civilization?
November Webinar, Wednesday 11/13/13 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time-USA
The Sustainability Metric
We'll first discuss how we can measure sustainability, current data trends and concepts, and what they say about how we live on the planet. Is sustainability primarily a matter of developing a "green" economy or otherwise altering economic processes—or is more than economics at issue? What does true sustainability imply for individual lifestyles? What is at stake if we pursue unsustainable growth and development?
Getting to True Sustainability
With the limits better understood, how can we get to a truly sustainable society? Is geoengineering the only option left? Can we instead re-engineer our cultures? Can we create truly sustainable design and goods? Will major shifts in governance at all scales be necessary? How about population management? This section will sample some of the many policies and perspectives already developed over the last three decades that could build a sustainable society within planetary boundaries.
Open in Case of Emergency
At the moment, sustainability seems technically within our grasp but politically beyond it. Is collapse inevitable? Crucial choices loom ahead: Will we burn the tar sands? All the coal in the ground? Shale gas? The oil under the Arctic? What can we preserve of our most important cultural, economic, and social achievements as the Earth changes? And how can we limit human suffering during this global ecological transition?
Webinar participants should come away with a good sense of what the best data say about the sustainability of the current global economy and some thoughtful ideas about how humanity should respond if it fails in comprehensively implementing the many well-known options for achieving sustainability.

Trains could have been old-fashioned quite some time ago but are now more modern than ever. Enjoying the landscape without forgoing high-speed transportation, relaxing with no motion perception, finding even cheap tickets - all of this is possible travelling on a train! All of Europe major railway companies provide domestic high-speed medium-haul connections which are comparable to flights in terms of journey duration. From Renfe AVE to Trenitalia Frecce or Italo treno, from SNCF TGV to Deutsche Bahn ICE Sprinter, high speed trains now cover most popular routes on the whole European territory.
Plan your European trip by train with Wanderio: you can currently find all available solutions for travelling in Italy and Spain by train, from regional trains to Intercity Italo and Trenitalia Frecce high-speed trains; meanwhile, we're working on the integration of many more international train routes.

Another card reads; "Reward Card, Maxim: Patience is a remedy for every affliction," and on the reverse the teacher has written, "To Issie Barnes, A persevering boy, May 22nd, 1869. C. A. Robbins." All I can say to that is "Awwwww!"
A series of weekly reports show Israel's grades at the Chauncy-Hall School, a boys school founded in 1828, which eventually merged with two other schools and is still in existence. It was originally located on what is now the site of Macy's in Boston's Downtown Crossing. The school's website says that it "trained the children of wealthy Bostonians for careers in business, and later prepared students to attend Harvard, MIT and other prestigious colleges. Chauncy Hall was known for its many innovations in education, including using literature for reading lessons..."
His 1872 report cards reflect a well behaved young man who attended regularly and scored above average in most classes, usually receiving a 5.5-6.0 on a scale of 7, which was given "only for extraordinary merit." A grade of 4 was "merely passable." Some of the subjects he was graded on when he was still ten years old: Reading, Spelling, Writing, Grammar, Geography, History, French, Latin, Arithmetic, Natural History, Defining, Declamation, Deportment, and Attendance. Four reports from 1873, spanning the entire year, show more variation. What a difference a year makes in the life of a child. He received many more 7's: in arithmetic, defining, geometry, and algebra; but also one 3 in deportment, about which the teacher noted on the back, "If no other low mark is incurred this shall be excluded." I wonder what he was up to? This sort of report is all-too familiar to this mother of three boys. "I didn't do anything!"
In 1875 he participated in Chauncy Hall's 47th Annual Exhibition at the Boston Music Hall. Better students were asked to participate in a show of readings, declamations and singing, and Israel Jr. was chosen to read "Man as a Processionist." It is hard to imagine the children enjoying this exhibition, as among other things, they were required to sit through both the triumphal march and the finale from Wagner's opera, Lohengrin. I'm sure they at least learned patience, if not a love of opera. I found a timeline of the school which tells us that it was one of the first to provide "apparatus for physical exercise." In addition, around the start of the Civil War they organized school companies for martial drill and parade. Israel was not yet a student.
Israel completed his schooling by graduating from Boston English High School in 1877, a few months shy of his sixteenth birthday. Wikipedia says that it was founded in 1821, the first public high school in America, to provide an education for working class boys, giving them training in business, mechanics, and trades. At that time the school was located right next door to Boston Latin High School, which, on the other hand, prepared boys for college, the ministry and other scholarly pursuits. The two schools have a healthy rivalry, and their boys have competed in football against one another every Thanksgiving since 1887! Israel was a big fellow, but I don't know if he played football for them.

Reviewed by Hammed A. (age 8)
This book reminds me of when my dad left me for a short time. But he came back. It also reminds me of the " Summer Wheels" because the boy there too does not have a dad. I like the part when the frog jumped high. It was amazing. I was surprised to find out how far the distance it had made compared to other frogs. I also like the way his grandparents and his mom cheered him up. They made his day special without the dad.
I recommend this book to all ages . There is also a lot of feelings in this book-- sadness, loneliness and happiness.It is about caring and loving for family members. The kids who also love frogs will enjoy this book.

Bible of the Right Concedes on Gay Marriage
Well, that makes it more or less official: A recent spate of articles that has shown the National Review moving closer and closer toward acceptance of marriage equality has culminated in an admission that the ground has permanently shifted.
In a Mar. 18 article entitled "Gay Marriage Gains Ground," Michael Barone concedes that "support for legalization crosses party lines." Beginning with Ohio Sen. Rob Portman's recent op-ed in the Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch Barone points to another conservative GOP superstar, former Vice President Dick Chaney.
Both men have gay children, which led them to change their minds. But Barone doesn't mention such other darlings of the right such as Ted Olson. The man who successfully challenged Al Gore in the Supreme Court case that gave George Bush the presidency, Olson and his wife were long considered among the most rigorous and profound thinkers of the New Right.
In recent years, Olson has become a hero to gay activists for taking his brilliant legal mind and applying it to the so-far highly successful court fight against California's Proposition 8. Olson has said that he believes same-sex marriage is not only right but also fits right in with conservative principles.
So why is the National Review so important? Founded by William F. Buckley, the man who is perhaps most responsible for the resurgence of modern American conservatism, in 1955, the magazine bills itself -- with some justification -- as America's most widely read and influential magazine and web site for conservative news, commentary, and opinion."
Buckley may have been the mastermind behind the spectacular flameout of Barry Goldwater's run against Lyndon Johnson for president in 1964, but he also became a savvy talking head on the then-fresh medium of television.
Buckley's TV show "Firing Line" became must-watch TV for the Burgundy-and-brie set. He regularly locked horns with liberals, but his most famous bout came in 1969, when he debated Gore Vidal. No Marquess of Queensbury rules here: These guys went at each other like raging bulls, using libel suits and insults as their capes and swords.
The match-up of two Ivy League, silver spoon New York aristocrats from opposite sides of the political spectrum created one of the most famous feuds in modern American literary history.
When Gore called Buckley a "crypto-Nazi," Buckley leaped from his seat and yelled, "Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in your goddamn face, and you'll stay plastered."
Buckley later said of Gore's homosexuality, "The man who in his essays proclaims the normalcy of his affliction, and in his art the desirability of it, is not to be confused with the man who bears his sorrow quietly. The addict is to be pitied and even respected, not the pusher."
Most notoriously, early in the AIDS epidemic, Buckley called for sufferers to be isolated and branded with a tattoo. To be fair, his wife went on to do AIDS fund-raising and, more notably, was perhaps the best friend of the legendary New York socialite who was one of the first, most visible, most active, most empathetic and most effective supporters of Gay Men's Health Crisis in its critical early years. No less than Larry Kramer has called her a saint (and Kramer is hardly one to dole out praise to anybody).
The magazine has long been a spear-carrier for pet causes of the right. That's why its sea change is so significant.
On Mar. 13, the magazine reported that one prominent GOP pollster found that same-sex marriage was "inevitable." Calling it "another issue that would limit the growth of the Republican party," the pollster also noted the remarkable acceleration of acceptance that now crosses party lines.
"In the previous 20 years, the increase of support for gay marriage had been about 1 percent a year," Jan van Louhuizen reported. "Somewhere around 2009 there was an increase to 4 or 5 percent. It's like a hockey-stick curve. All of the sudden there is this elbow."
More importantly, anti-marriage advocates have become marginalized into an increasingly tiny demographic of "Evangelical whites, tea-party Republicans, older voters, and whites that do not have a college degree."
These are not the typical readers of the National Review, who tend to be of the professional class or business executives and are as likely to live in light-red enclaves of blue states, such as Manhattan's Upper East Side or Boston's Beacon Hill, than in Muskogee, Oklah., or Huntington, W. Va.
On Sunday, there was another dramatic statement from yet another hero of the Right. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who faced down a recall vote after he renegotiated contracts with state workers, said on "Meet the Press" that younger conservatives are so accepting of marriage equality that it will soon cease to be an issue in political races at all.
Walker, who in the past has compared same-sex marriage to incest and pedophilia, now believes that the issue is obscuring the GOP core message. "When I talk about things, I talk about the economic and fiscal crises in our state and in our country," he said. "That's what people want to resonate about. They don't want to get focused on those issues"; i.e., like same-sex marriage.
If the most prominent intellectual on the right, George Will, hasn't exactly endorsed same-sex marriage, he soft-peddled the seismic shift as a move from traditional conservatism to a right-leaning libertarianism. Will was speaking specifically about the recently completed CPAC, the right wing's most prominent annual gathering, held in Washington, D.C.
Other than Sarah Palin, who was guaranteed to throw red meat (or at least a giant soda) at the adoring crowd, the best-received CPAC event was apparently an "outsiders" gathering that approvingly discussed same-sex marriage.
Like bread crumbs leading to a majestic house, the long and very recent string of articles, statements and public discussions keep returning to the same themes: Young people see opposing same-sex marriage as a betrayal of the core conservative value of less, not more, government regulations over human behavior. A great many of them are making common cause with those gay activists (and others) who believe that marriage should not be sanctioned by the state at all, but by clerics and religious institutions.
Or not at all. Civil unions would take the place of legal marriage, with places of worship still able to bestow blessings on the wedding vows outside of the law.
Whatever it's called or whatever it becomes, the union of two unrelated adults regardless of sexual identity or orientation is rapidly -- and unexpectedly -- becoming as accepted here as it is in most of Northern Europe.
At CPAC, the change in the Grand Old Party was noticeable in the fact that the big-name speakers seemed to run from it, as though it were too hot to handle -- or toxic if he did. No one called for extending the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Even Rick Santorum, easily the most prominent anti-marriage equality candidates last year, didn't bring up the subject or wouldn't comment.
Finding itself in the unfamiliar role of wallflower, the board of the Family Research Council, in a statement, bemoaned, "Twenty years ago, reiterating what the Republican Party stands for wouldn't have been newsworthy. "Our movement has entered an age when silence does more to define conservatives than sentiment."
Reflecting a new reality (possibly) that voters might actually want elected officials to concentrate on bread-and-butter issues, an operative close to Santorum told Polotico, voters are "not going to bed at night worrying about gay marriage, quite frankly."
In other words, they are more and more seeing it as a loser, a drum that hurts the ears of voters who would hear noises about jobs, a recovering market, their home's value rising and Social Security stabilizing.
The National's Review also-ran much younger journal of right-wing opinion, seems to be ignoring the issue in favor of New Right causes like the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Whether to the most remote villages of the steppes, or the no-less treacherous field mines along Washington's K Street, GOP operatives are quietly trying to move their candidate or office-holding clients away from marriage to the military (ooops, Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal); to big business and bigger moguls (except that gay men like David Geffen, Tim Gill and Peter Thiel have "hijacked" the conversation.
It increasingly looks as though an unregenerate homophobic right-winger can't turn anywhere for support.
Sports? Pro teams and their players rapidly emerged last year as the most vocal supporters of gay marriage, against bullying, and acceptance. Gay gay gay gay. The clergy? Although the Catholic Church and a few fundamentalist Protestant sects are mounting a rear-guard action, the mainstream denominations, including two of Judaism's three major U.S. branches and nearly all the "parlor Christian" churches to which America's elite belong, left the anti- group a while ago.
When Clint Eastwood, who emerged as the one breakout star of the GOP 2012 national convention in Tampa last year, later said he supported gay marriage, it looked as though the only vocal supporters were those who make their living from their stance. And erosion of support, active members and donations among groups like the National Organization for Marriage, are leaving these holdouts stranded to marshal whatever troops remain for non-winnable battles in states like Rhode Island, Hawaii, Colorado and, now it appears, even the bellwether of bellwether states, Ohio, is rapidly shifting ground.
Where Ohio goes, goes the nation has been a mantra of politics for the past several elections. That's why the view the absence of any substantial negative fallout from Portmans' 180-degree turn as the most telling evidence yet that voters, if not all of their elected leaders, have decided that a marriage between those two nice ladies who live down the block means a lot less than whether an elderly straight couple can stay in a house underwater on its mortgage.

Dorothy, Scarecrow and co. join Relay walk
Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Only the good powers will be allowed in Friday night at the Kountze High School stadium as Dorthy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North walk the track.
Well, at least people dressed as them will.
At least one person from each of the 37 teams for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life Hardin/S.Jasper Co will be dressed to meet the night's theme from 6 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday at 1488 F.M. 1293 Road.
Chair Nancy Neel said the theme this year is "Wizard of Oz: There's no place like hope."
"I'll fulfill my life-long dream and I will be Glinda," she said with a laugh.
"I'm so excited. We're going to have a lot of fun."
Residents will come together to honor, remember and fight back against cancer through raising funds to walk the track throughout the night.
The relays revolve around the idea that "Because cancer never sleeps," relays are overnight events up to 24 hours.
Cancer survivors will be recognized and have the change to walk in the Survivors Lap before the celebration begins, with a community party atmosphere, food, games and entertainment.
Neel said that Elivis will make a special appearance Friday night by performing from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.
There will also be fireworks and lots of food booths at the night's event, she said.
"The sweetest little thing is one of our newest teams is the Kountze Nursing Home. They'll come out and bring some of their patients out."
ACS Relay For Life Hardin/S.Jasper Co6 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday at Kountze High School stadium, 1488 F.M. 1293 Road.Survivors and teams can register at: hardinrelay.org.

The fun continues with the rare prime time Saturday game. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth shepherd us through another evening of football and hopefully will let us know what the penalty is for a sleeper hold. Five yards and loss of down? 10 yards and repeat of the down? Please, feel free to share the answer down below.
Detroit at New Orleans (NBC): I am excited for this game. New Orleans has the top passing attack in the league and Detroit has the 22nd ranked pass defense. Detroit has the fourth best passing attack and New Orleans the 30th ranked pass defense. There will be fireworks. I want to see a 100 point game and not one of those stupid combined scoring 100 point games, either. I want a legitimate 100 points scored by one team. If those amateurs from West Virginia, coached by some off-duty rodeo clown can put up 70, surely a team of true professionals can do better. I like the Lions and it does not get much better than Stafford to Megatron, but the Saints are the perfect cocktail of talent, home field advantage and asshole coaching staff.

Maria Gotsch is President and CEO of the Partnership Fund for New York City, the investment arm of the Partnership for New York City. In addition to leading the Fund's investment operations, Maria has spearheaded the creation and operation of a number of the Fund's strategic initiatives, including co-founding the FinTech Innovation Lab with Accenture.
What is the FinTech Innovation Lab, and why was it created?
The FinTech Innovation Lab is a 12-week mentorship program for early- and growth-stage companies in the financial services sector. We give them the platform they need to develop, test and prove their value propositions to the world's leading banks, which volunteer their time and effort to the program. After several years in New York City, the program has been expanded to London, Dublin and Asia Pacific.
At the Partnership Fund, we focus on investing in low-income neighborhoods and large civic projects in New York City. We also look for opportunities to catalyze the growth of new tech sectors where the city has a competitive advantage.
In 2010, when you still had to explain what financial technology or "fintech" was, we and our partners at Accenture identified it as a logical sector for New York. The city had a burgeoning tech sector and the largest concentration of financial institutions. However, when we asked chief information officers (CIOs) and chief technology officers (CTOs) at six major New York City banks where they look for technology, all of them said the West Coast and Boston. No one was looking in their own back yard.
The FinTech Innovation Lab was envisioned as a way for large New York financial institutions to support the growth of enterprise or business-to-business (B2B) technology in the city, and identify cutting-edge technologies for banks.
How has the program impacted industry?
New York City has become a fintech leader in the United States. We are attracting venture capital and entrepreneurs who are partnering with individuals with deep domain expertise in financial services. The program started with 10 sponsoring financial institutions and now there are nearly 30, spanning insurance, money management, hedge funds and payments. We also work with more than 25 experienced entrepreneurs, many of whom were part of New York City's first generation of successful fintech companies and all of whom can provide mentoring and advice for building a scalable tech company.
As a result of our efforts, dozens of the leading financial institutions in the world are now engaged in fintech. A growing number of banks are seeing the value in being more innovative and entrepreneurial, and are creating their own fintech labs or initiatives. In fact, many have begun thinking about themselves as technology companies. You hear Lloyd Blankfein say that "Goldman Sachs is a technology company" all the time. That's a radical shift, due in large part to bank engagement with the entrepreneurial community.
It's no surprise that fintech is one of the fastest growing sectors in the city, and that it's growing faster in New York than in other places. Between 2013 and 2014, deal value in New York City grew by 32 percent to reach a new high of $768 million.
What are the top trends you're seeing from program participants?
During the first few years of the program, big data, cyber security and mobile banking technologies were key areas of focus. Over the past two years, distributed ledgers and blockchain have risen in importance. Digital Asset Holdings from last year's class went on to successfully raise the largest Series A round in the northeastern United States after the program.
For 2016, key themes include blockchain and artificial intelligence. On June 23, we will go public with the companies in this year's class at Demo Day.
What can financial services firms learn from fintech companies?
Fintech companies have prompted major financial services firms to open themselves up to innovation. Firms are no longer looking exclusively inward or outward to identify innovative ideas and products, but rather looking both inside the company and beyond for that competitive advantage.
Fintech companies are meeting consumers' banking needs in new ways, including robo-advisors, and peer-to-peer lending and payments. Many are focusing closely on the needs and preferences of millennial consumers. That has forced banks to be nimble and innovative, which is good for consumers.
How is New York City's fintech sector different from those in other areas, including Silicon Valley, London and Asia?
New York has now surpassed Boston as the second-largest entrepreneurial center in terms of venture dollars invested ($7.3 billion versus $6.1 billion in 2015). The city should be—and is well on its way to becoming—the leading center for enterprise technology, particularly in traditional sectors, such as financial services, media, healthcare, fashion and retail. In New York, entrepreneurs have the unique ability to combine deep domain expertise and knowledge of real industry problems with cutting-edge technology.
Some of the world's biggest banks—and their key decision makers—are headquartered here. As a fintech company, you are in close proximity to your customers and the people who will ultimately decide whether to purchase your services, partner with you or perhaps one day buy your company. You can hop on the subway and, within 10 or 15 minutes, be at any major global financial institution. That's just not the case in many other markets.
What are you most proud of with the Labs?
I'm proud of the number of jobs that Lab graduates have created and the amount of financing they have raised post-program. Our 31 graduates have gone on to conduct 107 pilots, raise close to $300 million in financing and create more than 200 jobs. Moreover, about 40 percent of participating companies have been founded or led by women or minorities. By regularly bringing together entrepreneurs with new ideas, seasoned entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and bank executives, the Lab has played a key role in creating a more visible and better connected fintech ecosystem in New York City.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale plays its final non-conference game of the season on Wednesday night when Central Connecticut visits Reese Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. and live stats of the game will be available from GameTracker.
The Bulldogs (7-5-2) hope the weather is nicer than during Saturday's scoreless tie with Penn when nearly 40 mile-per-hour wind gusts made for difficult conditions. Goalkeeper Ayana Sumiyasu, who was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll on Monday, made four saves to post her fourth shutout of the season. Sumiyasu has helped anchor a Yale defense that has allowed only one goal in its last three games. She is third in the Ivy League in saves (54) and tied for third in shutouts.
Central Connecticut (9-5-4) has won six of its last seven games. The Blue Devils' biggest win of the season came early when they upset then 11th-ranked UConn 2-1 in Storrs. Rachel Caneen, one of only three players to start all 18 games, leads the team in goals (8) and points. Erin Herd has started 11 games in goal and has a 0.68 goals against average.
The Bulldogs and Blue Devils have played four times in the last three years. Last year in New Britain, Maggie Westfal scored the only goal of the game in the 30th minute as Yale escaped with a 1-0 victory.

Symmetric encryption algorithms come in two "flavors" - block ciphers, and stream ciphers. Block ciphers process data (while both encrypting and decrypting) in discrete chunks of data called blocks; stream ciphers operate on arbitrary sized data. .Pp The object declared in this interface, CCCryptor, provides access to both block ciphers and stream ciphers with the same API; however some options are available for block ciphers that do not apply to stream ciphers. .Pp The general operation of a CCCryptor is: initialize it with raw key data and other optional fields with CCCryptorCreate(); process input data via one or more calls to CCCryptorUpdate(), each of which may result in output data being written to caller-supplied memory; and obtain possible remaining output data with CCCryptorFinal(). The CCCryptor is disposed of via CCCryptorRelease(), or it can be reused (with the same key data as provided to CCCryptorCreate()) by calling CCCryptorReset(). .Pp CCCryptors can be dynamically allocated by this module, or their memory can be allocated by the caller. .Pp One option for block ciphers is padding, as defined in PKCS7; when padding is enabled, the total amount of data encrypted does not have to be an even multiple of the block size, and the actual length of plaintext is calculated during decryption. .Pp Another option for block ciphers is Cipher Block Chaining, known as CBC mode. When using CBC mode, an Initialization Vector (IV) is provided along with the key when starting an encrypt or decrypt operation. If CBC mode is selected and no IV is provided, an IV of all zeroes will be used. .Pp CCCryptor also implements block bufferring, so that individual calls to CCCryptorUpdate() do not have to provide data whose length is aligned to the block size. (If padding is disabled, encrypting with block ciphers does require that the *total* length of data input to CCCryptorUpdate() call(s) be aligned to the block size.) .Pp A given CCCryptor can only be used by one thread at a time; multiple threads can use safely different CCCryptors at the same time. .Pp .Ft CCCryptorRef objects created with .Fn CCCryptorCreate or .Fn CCCryptorCreateFromData *may* be disposed of via .Fn CCCRyptorRelease ; that call is not strictly necessary, but if it's not performed, good security practice dictates that the caller should zero the memory provided to create the .Ft CCCryptorRef when the caller is finished using the .Ft CCCryptorRef. .Pp .Fn CCCryptorUpdate is used to encrypt or decrypt data. This routine can be called multiple times. The caller does not need to align input data lengths to block sizes; input is bufferred as necessary for block ciphers. .Pp When performing symmetric encryption with block ciphers, and padding is enabled via .Ft kCCOptionPKCS7Padding, the total number of bytes provided by all the calls to this function when encrypting can be arbitrary (i.e., the total number of bytes does not have to be block aligned). However if padding is disabled, or when decrypting, the total number of bytes does have to be aligned to the block size; otherwise .Fn CCCryptFinal will return .Ft kCCAlignmentError. .Pp A general rule for the size of the output buffer which must be provided by the caller is that for block ciphers, the output length is never larger than the input length plus the block size. For stream ciphers, the output length is always exactly the same as the input length. See the discussion for .Fn CCCryptorGetOutputLength for more information on this topic. .Pp .Fn CCCryptFinal finishes encryption and decryption operations and obtains the final data output. Except when .Ft kCCBufferTooSmall is returned, the .Ft CCCryptorRef can no longer be used for subsequent operations unless .Fn CCCryptorReset is called on it. .Pp It is not necessary to call .Fn CCCryptorFinal when performing symmetric encryption or decryption if padding is disabled, or when using a stream cipher. .Pp It is not necessary to call .Fn CCCryptorFinal prior to .Fn CCCryptorRelease when aborting an operation. .Pp Use .Fn CCCryptorGetOutputLength to determine output buffer size required to process a given input size. Some general rules apply that allow clients of this module to know a priori how much output buffer space will be required in a given situation. For stream ciphers, the output size is always equal to the input size, and .Fn CCCryptorFinal never produces any data. For block ciphers, the output size will always be less than or equal to the input size plus the size of one block. For block ciphers, if the input size provided to each call to .Fn CCCryptorUpdate is is an integral multiple of the block size, then the output size for each call to .Fn CCCryptorUpdate is less than or equal to the input size for that call to .Fn CCCryptorUpdate . .Fn CCCryptorFinal only produces output when using a block cipher with padding enabled. .Pp .Fn CCCryptorReset reinitializes an existing .Ft CCCryptorRef with a (possibly) new initialization vector. The key contained in the .Ft CCCryptorRef is unchanged. This function is not implemented for stream ciphers. This can be called on a CCCryptorRef with data pending (i.e. in a padded mode operation before .Fn CCCryptFinal is called); however any pending data will be lost in that case. .Pp .Fn CCCrypt is a stateless, one-shot encrypt or decrypt operation. This basically performs a sequence of .Fn CCCrytorCreate , .Fn CCCryptorUpdate , .Fn CCCryptorFinal , and .Fn CCCryptorRelease . .Sh RETURN VALUES The following values may be returned as a status of type .Ft CCCryptorStatus . .Pp .Er kCCSuccess - Operation completed normally. .Pp .Er kCCParamError - Illegal parameter value. .Pp .Er kCCBufferTooSmall - Insufficent buffer provided for specified operation. .Pp .Er kCCMemoryFailure - Memory allocation failure. .Pp .Er kCCAlignmentError - Input size was not aligned properly. .Pp .Er kCCDecodeError - Input data did not decode or decrypt properly. .Pp .Er kCCUnimplemented - Function not implemented for the current algorithm. .Sh HISTORY These functions are available in OS X 10.5 and later. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr CCHmac 3cc , .Xr CC_MD5 3cc , .Xr CC_SHA 3cc , .Xr CC_crypto 3cc .Sh STANDARDS .Bl -tag .It AES: Federal Information Processing Standard \s-1FIPS\s0 \s-1PUB\s0 197 (Advanced Encryption Standard), .It DES: Federal Information Processing Standard \s-1FIPS\s0 \s-1PUB\s0 46\-3 (Data Encryption Standard) .It 3DES: NIST Special Publication\s-1PUB\s0 800\-67 (Recommendation for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA) Block Cipher) .El

Industry members, introduce yourselves...
Posted 17 September 2005 - 12:51 AM
I'd like an explicit label for industry folk who care to identify themselves. We may enable industry-only features in the future, and it will be nice to have a group already formed.
So if you're an industry member, please leave a message here or send a message to one of the admins! Be sure to include your full name, so we don't just know you as a Wetpixel handle.
We're going to define industry members as:
1) you design, manufactur, or sell dive or photo gear
2) you work in a dive shop or are a dive instructor
3) you are a professional photographer (your own definition -- if you are unsure, please let us know what you have done and we'll make a decision for you)
4) you work at a publication in a dive or photo-related area
5) you are a marine biologist with interests in underwater photography
I'm sure I missed something here, so if you don't fit in any of the above categories and still want to be in the group, go ahead and inform us.
Posted 17 September 2005 - 07:10 AM
Sell occaisional photo (I don't solicit) in my niche (wreck NE US). Orgnize dive trips for local shop on occaision. Regard uW photo as advocation (I'm a woodworker in real life).
Hope that serves your purpose in catagrization. Still film. Love site.

As an industry attached member I pledged earlier on to refrain my post to those that are actually constructive and related to photography and not brand or make of product unless the said post are informative on products made by Aquatica or TLC. This pledge I would like other industry member to adopt, since I am aware of certain silent partners posting and interfering (at least on some other web site) in favor of promotting their own agenda.
I feel this web site should remain an informative forum with the spirit of sharing knowledge, not marketing, (the side bars serve this purpose very well).
Lastly, I choose to become a member because I am an underwater photographer and has such, I have things I wish to share and thing I wish to learn.

If you work or are associated in any way with a store, manufacturer or distributor then I think it should be clear to the person reading the post.
Beside, the logo attached to your post, sure make's it clear who you are , I'll see ya at DEMA, given the chance it be nice to debate the merit of the clear beer bottle versus the aluminium beer can

You get the point Jean, this is the main reason fos this topic. Just to enforce Eric's point, we are sure glad you guys contribute so much here! There are several instances that I can think of when I got valuable help from industry members, and somethings can only be solved by people directly involved with housing projects. We just wanted to make sure we identify every industry member as such, so that it is easier for the readers to identify first-hand users opinions.

For those who don't know me, I've been doing design and marketing for the dive and travel industry for almost ten years. I've published CD ROMs and helped to self-publish several books. I do many dive related web sites and a lot of Quicktime VR virtual tours as well as brochure and catalogue design, and trade show booth graphics. I also do underwater photography and sell my images as stock through my own web site and a few through Corbis Images. My clients include many live-aboards, magazines, dive resorts, dive operators, camera and equipment manufacturers, travel agents, photographers, as well as spin-off work from owners of other businesses who happen to know me through diving or referrals. I have also authored the online course "Digital Workflow for the Underwater Photographer" found on www.TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com (see our banner ads) and will be doing more digital workshops in 2006. Yes, I believe I have the best job in the world and I never lose appreciation for what I do! I also love to share my experiences with those enthusiastic to learn from my mistakes.
If I have first-hand experience with something or someone mentioned here on Wetpixel, I may pop in now and then and I'll try not to be too biased! I get so much out of all the postings here and find this site to be one of the most valuable resources online for UW photo info and advice for everyone from beginner to pro.

I am a Oceanographic Engineer and own a contract manufacturing company that serves the dive equipment industry among others. I design and manufacture dive equipment for some of the bigger and once thought of as exclsively technical dive equipment companies. Our manufacturing process's are focused on sewn products and as such we produce items such as drysuit undergarments, BC harness's and aircells, gear bags, pockets, CCR counter lungs and cases, a wide range of strap assemblies, etc..
Since we produce for a number of dive companies I do not promote any particular brands, or styles of equipment or diving. If asked I would be happy to report on new items that are being introduced as long as it does not compromise any of our non disclosure agreements or steal any of our customers thunder.

I'm a Canadian freelance photojournalist who browses Wetpixel's forums. I have 25 years of diving experience, of those - 23 years specializing in underwater photography. I contribute regularly to Canada's Diver Magazine, Northwest Dive News, and my work is also published in other diving publications, travel & lifestyle magazines, books, calendars, and commercial advertisements worldwide.
Last year I made the switch to shooting 100% of my work with digital cameras.

I am Michel Gilbert, u/w photo columnist and contributing editor for Diver (Canada) magazine and doing the same thing also for a French Canadian scuba diving magazine named "En profondeur" (litterally into the deep).
Besides writing and photographing for those magazines and as a freelancer for other publications in North America and abroad, I also produce multimedia (what we used to call multi-image in the slide show days) presentations, give lectures, workshops and seminars on diving related subjects.

OK here goes - I'm Paul Kay the importer of SEACAM into Britain and Ireland although I do sell some other underwater photo equipment, mostly secondhand.
I am a professional underwater photographer specialising in temperate marine life. I hold a British commercial scuba certificate (HSEPt4), a degree is scientific photography, and an FRPS, and have been taking underwater photos for 25 years. I have had thousands of underwater photos published, and have shot underwater video (for the BBC amongst others).
I have been involved in marine conservation since before I could dive. I was originally a member of the Underwater (now Marine) Conservation Society, but I am an underwater naturalist rather than biologist.
Any comments I make are I hope based on experience, not commercial bias!!!

Although not an employee of Aquatica, I do have a professional association with them as their Technical Field Advisor. I also liaison all Q&A both tech and creative between consumer and professionals inquiring about Aquatica and TLC product, services and more.
I also test, review and contribute to the developement of Aquatica products and image as a whole.
I am though, primarily, an underwater photographer, uw photography workshops instructor and expedition/trip leader. I publish extensively and lecture and exhibit my work internationally.
As long as my bank account is not needed as proof of professional status, I believe I qualify. If on the other hand it is indeed a requirent then I know nothing! and english is my second language.....

Baileys of Glenrowan is a premium quality winery, steeped in history, specialising in fine red wines and luscious fortifieds. Established in 1870, Baileys has taken the best of the old vineyard winemaking techniques and combined these with modern winemaking skills to produce outstanding wines. Baileys wines have won much critical acclaim. The wines have a cult following, partly due to their excellent reputation for developing well with age. Baileys is a medium sized winery of 143 hectares under vine, all the grapes for our wines are grown in the vineayard and the winemaking is completed on site. Many traditional winemaking techniques are used at Baileys, including the restored 100 year-old Basket Press. The 'hands–on' effort required for the grape growing and winemaking is testament to the passion of the Baileys team. The wines are not the only attraction at Baileys of Glenrowan. The original Baileys family settlers were inspired in their choice of location, for as well as the perfect vine-growing terroir, Baileys vineyards are situated in a beautiful area at the foot of the Warby Ranges. When arriving at Baileys, visitors meander beyond an original blacksmith forge, through a peppercorn avenue, past long-standing stone Clydesdale stables and the original block of Shiraz planted in 1904. The end of this picturesque track opens to landscaped grounds, where a traditional welcome awaits you in the 100 year-old cellar door. Enjoy the cosy open fire in the cooler months, or make use of the picnic grounds and barbecue facilities in the warmer season. Browse through the contemporary art gallery and museum, presenting heritage at its best. Enjoy lazy weekend lunches at the Old Block Cafe - Have an Espresso Coffee, Hot chocolate or Tea with delicious biscuits and nougat any time of the week. Baileys of Glenrowan is located five kilometres west of the township of Glenrowan and 230 kilometres northeast of Melbourne. The Baileys winemaking story began in the 1860s, when Richard Bailey and his young family arrived in Australia. They set up a store in Glenrowan to supply miners on nearby goldfields. This store was located alongside the famous Anne Jones Inn where the Kelly gang siege was to take place. As the goldfields dried up and the miners moved on, the Bailey family turned to farming instead and settled on a property which they named "Bundarra" near Glenrowan. Back then, rural life was tough and lonely and the Glenrowan countryside was barren and unforgiving. But the Baileys persevered, eventually planting one of the district's first vineyards. In 1870, Richard and his son Varley proudly produced their first vintage. It was gold of a very different hue but gold nevertheless, and the birth of an Australian legend! The Bailey property remained a winemaking success from then on, with the winemaking mantle passed on from father to son through the generations. During that time, the region was terrorised by the bushranger Ned Kelly, who was finally captured in 1880 at Glenrowan - just a short gallop from Baileys. Far more terrifying than Ned, though, was the outbreak in the 1890s of phylloxera. Whilst only tiny, this parasitic pest devastated Victoria's early wine industry. Many vineyards were ordered to destroy their vines, and many heartbroken winemakers simply walked off their ravaged land, never to return. But once the phylloxera scourge had passed, the Bailey family replanted in 1904 on phylloxera-resistant rootstock - and soon the family's famous red wine flowed again! The original 1904 Block, planted with Shiraz, continues to produce outstanding wines to this day. This Shiraz, full of flavour, quickly built a reputation - and a loyal following. Further plantings of Shiraz, Muscat and Tokay took place in the 1920s. Recent improvements to the Baileys of Glenrowan site have ensured the success of the winery for generations to come. Plantings throughout the 1950s to the 1990s have seen the vineyards increase to 143 hectares, with an annual crush of 1600 to 1800 tonnes. New, state-of-the art winemaking equipment was built in 1998. At the same time, we restored the 100-year-old basket press to ensure that our tradition lives on in our wines. The restoration and upgrade of our cellar door in 2000 completed the recent improvements and enabled us to share the heritage and the full Baileys experience with all our visitors. Today the Baileys winery is a boutique operation that showcases the best of both worlds, with modern winemaking facilities complemented by traditional techniques and very old vines. Read less

By Fine Artist Mark Reeder
This is a project that I have been looking forward to completing for some time now. I am very happy to have this finished and look forward to getting out and putting it to use.
The outside dimensions are 12 x 16 inches and it was built with 1/4 inch plywood with 3/4 inch ripped pieces of pine, but you could use hardwood as well.
The palette is plexi glass that I happened to have. I would like to change this to glass when this one gets too difficult to clean. Underneath I have a piece of linen toned to a neutral grey. Since I like to paint on toned grounds this allows me to mix on the colour/tone that I will be painting on.
I built this entire easel with scrap materials that were left over from other projects, including the stain and clear coat. The only thing I purchased for this was something called a t nut, which is what allows me to fasten the easel to a camera tripod.
The side hinge was the only piece of hardware I had difficulty in sourcing. So much so that I built my own using two metal L brackets that I bent straight in a vice and with a hammer. Along with some washers, lock washers, two bolts, nuts and a wing nut to tighten and hold it in position, everything works perfectly.
The other aspect in this design that was difficult to decide on was how to keep the panel I would be painting on in place. I was considering fabricating my own hardware as I did with the side hinge until I came across Jim Serrett's site Pochade Box Paintings. In his post on How to build your own Pochade Box , where he goes into great detail (and I highly recommend reviewing this post) he show's how he used a small bungee cord through slots to hold the panel in place. I thought that was brilliant. It works great, it's inexpensive, lightweight and you can tie a quick knot in it for smaller panels. Many thanks to Jim Serret.
(With an unfinished panel to show how it's held in place.)
I first saw this design at Open Box M and just loved it. If you are looking at purchasing a plein air easel instead of building your own I would take a look at the Open Box M site as well as another great easel design at Alla Prima Pochade. They have a wonderful design as well.
(...and from the back, showing the bungee cord.)
Here are some more images of the easel to give you a better look at it and to help show you how it was built. If you have any questions about it feel free to post them or message me.
(3/4 inch piece of plywood where the t nut is installed.)
Have a Great Day!

"I have felt compelled to explore and create art from a very early age. Drawing, painting, art history and the study of traditional painting methods have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am devoted to Realism, depicting the subjects I choose to paint as I see them in nature. My main subjects are portraits and figures; however, I also explore still life, landscapes and urban scenes. Throughout, I seek to balance my dedication to the skill and craft of painting with the understanding and development of art as an expression of life." - Mark Reeder

The Browns today have made up their mind, and have named Rob Chudzinski as the 14th full-time head coach in franchise history.
Chudzinski comes to the team after spending the past two seasons (2011-12) as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. Overall, Chudzinski's résumé includes 19 years of experience, including nine seasons in the NFL.
Chudzinski re-joins the Browns organization, where he spent the 2004 season as tight ends coach and 2007-08 as offensive coordinator. In 2007, he orchestrated Cleveland's best offense in terms of total yards (5,621), passing yards (3,726) and points scored (402) since the club's return in 1999.
In 2011, during Chudzinski's first season with the Panthers, the team set club records for total yards (6,237) and first downs (345), one year after experiencing franchise lows in both categories. Carolina also scored 48 touchdowns after recording 17 the year prior to Chudzinski's arrival. The Panthers also moved from last in total yardage to seventh, marking the biggest improvement in the league since the St. Louis Rams went from 27th in 1998 to first in 1999.
In 2011, Chudzinski tutored Cam Newton, who became the first rookie in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards, while setting an NFL record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 14 en route to being named the 2011 Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Panthers also became the first team in league history with three 700-yard rushers in DeAngelo Williams (836), Jonathan Stewart (761) and Newton (706).
The Panthers went from two wins in the year before Chudzinski's arrival to winning six in 2011 and seven in 2012, including victories in the final four games this past season. Wide receiver Steve Smith eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving both seasons under Chudzinski.
Chudzinski had two stints with the San Diego Chargers where he served as the assistant head coach/tight ends coach from 2009-10 and tight ends coach from 2005-06. He worked with tight end Antonio Gates, who was voted to the Pro Bowl in each of Chudzinski's four seasons with the team. Gates recorded 1,157 receiving yards in 2009 and 1,101 in 2005, marking the only times he has eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau in his career. In four seasons working with Chudzinski, Gates averaged 72.3 receptions, 991.0 yards and 9.3 touchdowns per season, compared to an average of 58.8 receptions, 726.1 yards and 7.7 touchdowns in six seasons without Chudzinski.
In 2007, he guided the Browns' offense as they scored 402 points and totaled 5,621 net yards of offense, both figures which ranked as third-best in franchise history. Wide receiver Braylon Edwards set franchise records with 1,289 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, tight end Kellen Winslow set a career-high with 1,109 receiving yards and running back Jamal Lewis finished fifth in the NFL with 1,304 rushing yards. The Browns won 10 games, which are the most victories by the team since 1994 (11).
Chudzinski began his pro coaching career in 2004 as the Browns' tight ends coach, where he worked with first-round draft choice, Kellen Winslow. During that season, Chudzinski was elevated to offensive coordinator for the final five games following Butch Davis' resignation as head coach.
From 1994-2003, Chudzinski coached at his alma mater, the University of Miami (Fla.). He spent two seasons (1994-95) as a graduate assistant, five (1996-2000) as tight ends coach and three (2001-03) as offensive coordinator. During his three seasons as offensive coordinator, the Hurricanes played in a BCS Bowl game each year, including two National Championship appearances. He helped shape future NFL Pro Bowlers Bubba Franks, Frank Gore, Andre Johnson, Willis McGahee, Bryant McKinnie, Clinton Portis, Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow.
In 2001, the 'Canes went 12-0 and defeated Nebraska to win the National Championship. In 2002, Miami's offense set school records for points (527), total yards (6,074) and rushing touchdowns (33). They averaged 40.5 points per game, 284.2 passing yards per game and 183.0 rushing yards per contest. The Hurricanes went 12-1 in 2002, with their only defeat coming in overtime against Ohio State in the National Championship game. In 2003, Miami finished with an 11-2 record, including a 16-14 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
At Miami, Chudzinski tutored Kellen Winslow, who won the John Mackey Award in 2003 as the nation's top collegiate tight end, while he also helped to develop two other All-America tight ends in Bubba Franks (1999) and Jeremy Shockey (2001). All three players went on to be first-round NFL draft picks.
Chudzinski played tight end at Miami from 1986-90 and was a three-year starter and a member of two national championship teams (1987 and 1989). He graduated with a B.A. in business administration in 1990 and went on to earn his MBA in 1996.
