The University of Western Sydney (UWS) has today gone live with a managed Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for its 5000 users.
The UWS has 38,000 students and 3000 staff across six campuses. Its gigabit wireless and fixed network connects more than 5000 Linux, Mac and Windows workstations across the university grounds and in the surrounding campuses.
IT provides and manages network access and offers technical support for UWS staff and students, and handles the central database for human resources.
UWS IT security coordinator Darren Geddes said it will go live over the next few days with a managed Verizon/Cybertrust IDS
"Universities don't want to be denied access to anything and denial-by-exception doesn't work well in that environment, so we need an active IDS to monitor traffic," Geddes said.
The IDS will complement a Network Access Control (NAC) Nortel Tunnel Guard on its wireless Virtual Private Network (VPN), a Juniper firewall, and a CA antivirus.
The wireless NAC validates the security of end-users against a predefined list of trusted antivirus solutions to prevent network infection. Candidates made the list, which initially contained seven different antivirus vendors, based on market share and includes McAffee, CA, Trend Micro, AVG and a number of open-source solutions.
Geddes said the last major virus infection occurred six months ago, however IT isolated the attack within a single zone.
He said the proliferation of different antivirus products and version releases is the biggest challenge with wireless NAC maintenance because it blocks all nodes that do not match the exception list.
"The NAC works reasonably well, but it comes unstuck when two versions of an antivirus solution are stored in separate locations," Geddes said, adding the latest Tunnel Guard update should fix the problem by cross checking against a Nortel database.
The efficiency of a NAC comes down to good management and throughly investigating the requirements to choose the best solution.
Geddes said the roll out will be smooth given the success of a two month trial.
The latest Juniper firewall will be easier to manage locally than the previous version, according to Geddes, because it offers better visibility into the rule sets via an online portal dubbed Gaurdian, and has an inbuilt Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) which he configures to monitor preset alerts.
UWS IT staff will be required to update rule sets and exceptions lists, while Verizon will handle maintenance and patching.
Geddes said the most burning problem is vendor and version compatibility between security log files.
The logs are used by the UWS IT security team to collate data regarding a security breach, including virus infections and hacking attempts. However Geddes said the task takes significantly longer due to interoperability between the files, which requires hours of tedious reading.
"We have to trawl through consolidation of logs from different products, authentication and maintenance controller logs for Windows, and IDS and antivirus logs; it is painful because sometimes we have to cross reference all of them and the vendors keep changing log formats," Geddes said.
He said there is no available solution to the problem.
The network uses Cisco 6500 routers on its core network and a range of Nortel equipment to manage its wireless system.

14.8 A Simple Test Example
As an example, we will describe automatic test generation using boundary scan together with internal scan. We shall use the function Z = A'B + BC for the core logic and register the three inputs using three flip-flops. We shall test the resulting sequential logic using a scan chain. The simple logic will allow us to see how the test vectors are generated.
14.8.1 Test-Logic Insertion
Figure 14.31 shows a structural Verilog model of the logic core. The three flip-flops (cell name dfctnb ) implement the input register. The combinational logic implements the function, outp = a_r[0]'.a_r[1] + a_r[1].a_r[2 ]. This is the same function as Figure 14.14 and Figure 14.16 .
Table 14.15 shows the structural Verilog for the top-level logic of the Threegates ASIC including the I/O pads. There are nine pad cells. Three instances (up1_b0 , up1_b1 , and up1_b2 ) are the data-input pads, and one instance, up2_1 , is the output pad. These were vectorized pads (even for the output that had a range of 1), so the synthesizer has added suffixes ( '_1' and so on) to the pad instance names. Two pads are for power, one each for ground and the positive supply, instances up11 and up12 . One pad, instance up3_1 , is for the reset signal. There are two pad cells for the clock. Instance up4_1 is the clock input pad attached to the package pin and instance up6 is the clock input buffer.
The next step is to insert the boundary-scan logic and the internal-scan logic. Some synthesis tools can create test logic as they synthesize, but for most tools we need to perform test-logic insertion as a separate step. Normally we complete a parameter sheet specifying the type of test logic (boundary scan with internal scan in this case), as well as the ordering of the scan chain. In our example, we shall include all of the sequential cells in the boundary-scan register and order the boundary-scan cells using the pad numbers (in the original behavioral input). Figure 14.32 shows the modified core logic. The test software has changed all the flip-flops (cell names dfctnb ) to scan flip-flops (with the same instance names, but the cell names are changed to mfctnb ). The test software also adds a noninverting buffer to drive the scan-select signal to all the scan flip-flops.
The test software also adds logic to the top level. We do not need a detailed understanding of the automatically generated logic, but later in the design flow we will need to understand what has been done. Figure 14.33 shows a high-level view of the Threegates ASIC before and after test-logic insertion.
14.8.2 How the Test Software Works
The structural Verilog for the Threegates ASIC is lengthy, so Figure 14.34 shows only the essential parts. The following main blocks are labeled in Figure 14.34 :
The numbers in Figure 14.34 link the signals in each block to the following explanations:
The added test logic is shown in Figure 14.35 . The blocks are as follows:
The numbers in Figure 14.35 refer to the following explanations:
The job of the boundary-scan controller is to produce the control signals ( C_1 through C_9 ) for each of the 16 TAP controller states ( reset through update_IR ) for each different instruction. In this BST implementation there are seven instructions: the required EXTEST , SAMPLE , and BYPASS ; IDCODE ; INTEST (which is the equivalent of EXTEST , but for internal test); RUNBIST (which allows on-chip test structures to operate); and SCANM (which controls the internal-scan chains). The boundary-scan controller outputs are shown in Table 14.16 .
There are two very important differences between this controller and the one described in Table 14.5 . The first, and most obvious, is that the control signals now depend on the instruction. This is primarily because INTEST requires the control signal at the output of the BSCs to be in different states for the input and output cells. The second difference is that the logic for the boundary-scan cell control signals is now purely combinational—we have removed the gated clocks. For example, Figure 14.36 shows the input boundary-scan cell. The clock for the shift flip-flop is now TCK and not a gated clock as it was in Table 14.5 . We can do this because the output of the flip-flop, SO , the scan output, is added as input to the MUX that feeds the flip-flop data input. Thus, when we wish to hold the state of the flip-flop, the control signals select SO to be connected from the output to the input. This is called a polarity-hold flip-flop . Unfortunately, we have little choice but to gate the system clock if we make the scan chain part of the BSR. We cannot have one clock for part of the BSR and another for the rest. The costly alternative is to change every scan flip-flop to a scanned polarity-hold flip-flop.
14.8.3 ATVG and Fault Simulation
Table 14.17 shows the results of running the Compass ATVG software on the Threegates ASIC. We might ask: Why so many faults? and why is the fault coverage so poor? First we look at the details of the test software output. We notice the following:
To discover why the fault coverage is 68.25 percent we must examine each of the fault categories. First, Table 14.18 shows the undetected faults.
The ATVG program is generating tests for the core using internal scan. We cannot test the BST logic itself, for example. During the production test we shall test the BST logic first, separately from the core—this is often called a flush test . Thus we can ignore any faults from the BST logic for the purposes of internal-scan testing.
Next we find two redundant faults: TA_TDO.1.I sa0 and sa1 . Since TDO is three-stated during the test, it makes no difference to the function of the logic if this node is tied high or low—hence these faults are redundant. Again we should ensure these faults will be caught during the flush test. Finally, Table 14.19 shows the tied faults.
Now that we can explain all of the undetectable faults, we examine the detected faults. Table 14.20 shows only the detected faults in the core logic. Faults F1–F8 in the first part of Table 14.20 correspond to the faults in Figure 14.16 . The fault list in the second part of Table 14.20 shows each fault in the core and whether it was detected (D) or collapsed and detected as an equivalent fault (CD). There are no undetected faults (U) in the logic core.
14.8.4 Test Vectors
Next we generate the test vectors for the Threegates ASIC. There are three types of vectors in scan testing. Serial vectors are the bit patterns that we shift into the scan chain. We have three flip-flops in the scan chain plus six boundary-scan cells, so each serial vector is 9 bits long. There are serial input vectors that we apply as a stimulus and serial output vectors that we expect as a response. Parallel vectors are applied to the pads before we shift the serial vectors into the scan chain. We have nine input pads (three core data, one core clock, one core reset, and four input TAP pads— TMS , TCK , TRST , and TDI ) and two outputs (one core data output and TDO ). Each parallel vector is thus 11 bits long and contains 9 bits of stimulus and 2 bits of response. A test program consists of applying the stimulus bits from one parallel vector to the nine input pins for one test cycle. In the next nine test cycles we shift a 9-bit stimulus from a serial vector into the scan chain (and receive a 9-bit response, the result of the previous tests, from the scan chain). We can generate the serial and parallel vectors separately, or we can merge the vectors to give a set of broadside vectors . Each broadside vector corresponds to one test cycle and can be used for simulation. Some testers require broadside vectors; others can generate them from the serial and parallel vectors.
Table 14.21 shows the serial test vectors for the Threegates ASIC. The third serial test vector is '110111010' . This test vector is shifted into the BSR, so that the first three bits in this vector end up in the first three bits of the BSR. The first three bits of the BSR, nearest TDI , are the scan flip-flops, the other six bits are boundary-scan cells). Since UC1.A_R_FF_B0.Q is a_r[0] and so on, the third test vector will set a_r = 011 where a_r[2] = 0. This is the vector we require to test the function a_r[0]'.a_r[1] + a_r[1].a_r[2 ] for fault UC1.U2.ZN sa1 in the Threegates ASIC. From Figure 14.31 we see that this is a stuck-at-1 fault on the output of the inverter whose input is connected to a_r[0] . This fault corresponds to fault F1 in the circuit of Figure 14.16 . The fault simulation we performed earlier told us the vector ABC = 011 is a test for fault F1 for the function A'B + BC.
14.8.5 Production Tester Vector Formats
The final step in test-program generation is to format the test vectors for the production tester. As an example the following shows the Sentry tester file format for testing a D flip-flop. For an average ASIC there would be thousands of vectors in this file.
# Pin declaration: pin names are separated by semi-colons (all pins
# on a bus must be listed and separated by commas)
# Pin declarations are separated from test vectors by $
# The first number on each line is the time since start in ns,
# The symbols following the time are the test vectors
# (in the same order as the pin declaration)
# an "=" means don't do anything
# an "s" means sense the pin at the beginning of this time point
# (before the input changes at this time point have any effect)
00 1010== # clear the flip-flop
14.8.6 Test Flow
Normally we leave test-vector generation and the production-test program generation until the very last step in ASIC design after physical design is complete. All of the steps have been described before the discussion of physical design, because it is still important to consider test very early in the design flow. Next, as an example of considering test as part of logical design, we shall return to our Viterbi decoder example.
1. Outputs are specified for each instruction as 0123456, where: 0 = EXTEST, 1 = SAMPLE, 2 = BYPASS, 3 = INTEST, 4 = IDCODE, 5 = RUNBIST, 6 = SCANM.

Vermont House Speaker Shap Smith says he has his own misgivings, but he won't block the Vermont House from debating decriminalization of marijuana.
The Morristown Democrat has opposed marijuana decriminalization in the past, and says he still has concerns that making the change will send the wrong message to young Vermonters.
But the speaker says he won't try to keep legislation on the issue from being debated by his colleagues. Smith says he has asked for more information on the issue from Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn.
Gov. Peter Shumlin supports decriminalization, and has argued he does not want to see young Vermonters' future job prospects be harmed by getting arrested for small amounts of marijuana.

3 more weeks and we find out what we are having! I'm nervous this time around. Everyone really wants a boy and what if it's a girl. Will I be okay with that? Yes. But it will be different from the line of thinking we all have been having. We just keep assuming it's a boy. I have NO IDEA what I'm having. I knew with the other 2. But this time around, it's kinda like "I have one of each, it doesn't matter." Of course it does matter to Owen and Hal who REALLY want a baby brother. Maddie could care less. So I guess we will see. I have a doctors appt on Monday. I'll update more then!

Questions and Answers - exercise
Q: Why does my blood sugar increase after exercise? I had a blood sugar reading of 135 first thing in the morning. After a 3 mile walk my reading was 155.
A: Wait an hour after you exercise and see if you get the same results. Exercise is a stressor, so blood sugar will be higher immediately after your session. Also, blood sugars tend to be higher in the mornings because of hormonal activity during the night.
Q: My husband has had type 2 diabetes for 15 years. He has gotten his food and exercise in pretty good shape and has his A1C down to 6.5. My concern is that he will do strenuous exercise in the morning, often for 2 hours, before he eats a meal. Is it safe to exercise this long while fasting?
A: Much depends on what his pre and post-exercise levels are as well as his overall health and energy. If he experiences lows 30-60 minutes post-exercise, then he needs to fuel up before exercising. Some version of a meal shake - containing a balance of carbs, protein and fat - works well for many people. If he has no issues, then his body appears to have adapted to the consistent program he has developed that appears to be working for him.
Q: I have type 2 diabetes and have been walking 4-5 miles every night for the past six months. How come I'm not losing any weight?
A: Lean tissue weighs more than fat so you often won't see the number on the scale change, but will feel better, have more energy, better glucose levels, etc. In time, the weight number starts to come down. Keep up the exercise. Get assistance with your eating if you are at all unclear about how to manage food intake with diabetes.
Q: I've had type 1 Diabetes for 26 years and am 15 pounds over my ideal weight. For the last 6 weeks I've been attending a fitness boot camp. I find that my sugar levels may start at around 100 but steadily rise for the hour after exercising. Is this normal?
A: Exercise is a "stressor", meaning that in the short term, exercising will raise glucose levels before they drop down. Without diabetes, levels only rise up to a threshold point. With type 1, especially, levels may rise and take several hours to come back down. This is another reason why it is more challenging to find the right insulin dosages for the various differences in the day's activities and eating. Of course, exercise is always encouraged, as lean tissue burns up more calories, requiring more fuel. This fuel is accessible from glucose in the bloodstream. In the long run, your levels should eventually be lower. If you should drop too low a few hours after exercising, reassess your coverage for exercise. Losing your extra body fat should eventually help you in get better post exercise numbers.
Q: What is the best after dinner exercise for someone with pre-diabetes?
A: There is no one perfect exercise, but at that hour and having just eaten, a good walk is usually the best for most people. Any activity that is too long and/or strenuous later at night may cause one to stay awake. For some folks, especially those on insulin, strenuous evening exercise may cause early morning low blood sugars. Try those after dinner exercises you enjoy and see how they affect you. Ultimately, you are shooting for lower fasting glucose levels.
Q: I usually run 10 to 14 miles on the weekends but I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. First, why does exercise seem to raise my blood sugar? What do you suggest eating before, during and after the run to give me the energy needed to complete this? I've always carried the little energy gel packs but I'm not sure this is the wise choice with diabetes.
A: To address your first question, a run of that intensity will certainly first elevate your blood sugar before it lowers. It is suggested to generally wait at least 1 our post-exercise before testing.
Your pre-run snack accomplishes 2 things: get quick energy fuel while having some in reserves. The first rule is to eat whole, "real" foods such as pure ground peanut butter. A breakfast shake does very well for many people. You want minimal digestion with maximum absorption. What constitutes the best pre-run meal can vary among individuals, and much depends on how you eat the rest of the time. This means creating a fine balance among carbs, protein and fat so that you have a good access to both immediate and long term fuel. My personal morning preference before a workout is in a shake form. Some people can manage a yogurt based smoothie. Peanut butter stirred into oatmeal (if that appeals to you) is a better carbohydrate source than a bagel because of its fiber types. There are also many meal replacement powders out there: some good; others not so good. Berries and banana are good fruit choices to consider adding in a small amount.
Long runs do require fuel and hydration without upsetting salt balance. Of course, your weather conditions must be factored in. As a general rule, for each hour of exercise, 30-50 grams of carbs are recommended so a gel pack may be appropriate during the run only. After a long run you want immediate carbohydrate replacement like a low-fat yogurt, and then having a meal awhile later. In general, eating legumes, lean "flesh" foods, and veggies on a daily basis can provide the best foundation for overall performance.
No two people with diabetes are alike. You are going to have to "self-experiment" over time to see what works. Diabetes doesn't mean "stop"; it does mean "pay closer attention" and continue to enjoy life.
Q: I have type 1 diabetes, have good health, and enjoy taking high intensity aerobic classes like Zumba. The problem is that my blood sugar often drops to 45-60 during the class no matter how much I carb up prior. I try to start with a BG of 150-170 and check half way through then treat with glucose tabs or juice and keep going. After class, my BG may range from 60-100 but then rises up to 200+ for the next few hours and I have to treat with insulin. What can I do?
A: You are definitely experiencing the exercise effect, which will raise your blood sugar for up to 4 hours after exercising. Have you started by cutting your post-exercise treatment dose in half? Also, if you are eating within that 3 hour time frame, stick to a lower carbohydrate protein/veggie type meal rather than any starchy carbs. Also, are you changing your basal rate for exercise? I know some very active folks program as many as 8 rates/day. Sounds like you should lower yours for class if you are not already doing so.
Q: I have had type 1 diabetes for 23 years. There was a time when my blood sugars would plummet after a workout. However, now when I exercise, my blood sugars are sky rocketing and I'm not eating anything. My blood sugars are perfect before I workout. What is up with this?
A: If the intensity of your workout has increased and you are testing within the 1/2-1 hr. post-exercise, it may be you need to wait longer for the post test. Exercise will generally increase levels in the short run, then drop in the long run. This is even more pronounced with insulin dependence. You may need to adjust your carb/insulin ratio before you workout. If all else is the same in your life except for the workout intensity, then rechecking even up to 4 hours later may be a path to try, in the short run, to see what the drops may be, then discuss any needed adjustments to your protocol with your physician if necessary.
Q: I'm a type 1 diabetic and I am trying to incorporate exercise in the morning. However, it seems that my blood sugar spikes when I do this. This morning my blood sugar was 182 when I woke up. I did a 20 min work out video and took a shower. About a half hour later I tested my blood sugar and it was 300. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? I should mention I take lantus before bed and humalog with meals. When I exercise at other times of the day my blood sugar usually goes low.
A: Blood sugar levels are generally higher in the morning anyway due to the rise of hormones - this is known as the Dawn Phenomena. In the short run, exercise is a stressor and will elevate levels. In most folks, 30-60 minutes after exercise, levels will lower. Often in type 1 diabetes, however, it takes longer for levels to come down post exercise. You should discuss this with your physician to see about a target for the fasting levels pre exercise and how that is to be accomplished with your current protocol. As we know, this is easier said than done.
Q: When is the best time of day to exercise? I don't want to exercise and have my blood sugar drop.
A: The best time to exercise is any time that you can fit it in as opposed to skipping it! It is also important to have enough fuel in your system to cover your activity. There are general guidelines: for a 30 minute brisk walk, it is recommended to have 15 grams of carbs if your blood sugar is under 120. This would mean a small fruit or a yogurt can work well as it has carb and protein. As your exercise time increases, so may your intake needs. The best way to determine your needs and best exercise zone is to test before and after exercising. If you are comfortable soon after your meal, that is a great time as you are well fueled.
Q: I plan to do a one-week, 75 mile backpacking trip this summer. As you may know, backpackers often burn 4000 to 6000 calories per day, due to the strenuous nature of the exercise. Presumably, during exercise like this, my body will require much larger than normal amounts of carbs. Is there any guidance you can offer regarding the appropriate increase? What kind of percentage split between carbs, protein and fat would you recommend?
A: Good for you! Now, no one shoe fits all; gender, height, weight, body fat %, etc. all determine one's needs. Checking your glucose levels will let you know how your food is working for you. Legumes and whole grains like quinoa and wild rice can be part of a good carb loading program. If you are eating unrefined foods on this trip as opposed to quick acting carbs like candy/energy bars, you may find your energy more stable for longer periods. Nut butters work well on such trips. Bananas are a good sustaining fruit. Eggs are a good protein source for those who eat them, especially for the morning start. Since the general guideline is for 45-65% of intake to be from carbs, a 4000 calorie intake would be 450 grams form carbs at 45%. Remember: veggies are carbs. These are your immediate muscle fuel sources. Pack smart, and check as often as you think you need to, and avoid low blood sugar.
Q: I have been diabetic for 43 years and on the pump for 17 years. I am a bicyclist and train hard for races. I ride five days a week. I do not suspend or lower my basal during training. This year I have scaled back slightly and do two recovery rides a week. I have found that the recovery rides make my blood sugar skyrocket to as high as 411. I have tried eating different things prior to training but nothing makes a difference. What suggestions do you have to keep my BG from raising so quickly and so high?
A: With the regimen you have described, I would think you have different basal rates programmed into your pump, being different on the recovery days, reflecting a higher rate. What you eat is, of course, a factor, but your insulin:carb ratio may also need to be increased on those days. Be sure you are not eating refined carbs on your recovery days, aiming for higher fiber sources. Your pump company can also be a good resource if you already haven't tapped them for assistance with this issue.
Q: My girlfriend has type I diabetes and is considering training for a full marathon 10 months from now. She is currently about 40 lbs over weight and is not running. I know she needs special advice from her doctor and possibly a nutritionist, but I don't want to set her up for a goal she cannot accomplish.
A: Jumping right in to run would not be a good thing. The first thing to consider is if her blood sugar levels are in close-to-normal ranges. Hopefully, her physician has given her ranges to target. Exercise for Type 1's needs to be closely monitored, especially when doing longer sessions such as running a marathon. She will also need to be aware that hypoglycemia may actually occur during sleeping hours depending on the duration of the activity and food intake. Good hydration is also a "must". I would suggest that if she is serious, she needs to gets some guidelines from her physician. Daily, she should do a minimum of 45 minutes fast walking, gradually increasing, including stretching before and after. If she is cleared as healthy for a marathon by her physician, she needs to be prepared to monitor her glucose carefully before, during, and after exercise. Be sure she has proper footwear, and checks her feet daily.
Q: When I exercise my upper body, my blood sugar goes up and when I exercise the lower part, my blood sugar goes down, why is this?
A: How soon after exercising are you checking your blood sugars? For those not on insulin, I always suggest at least an hour, since exercise will raise your blood sugars initially, then "settle" down. If you are more dependent on insulin, blood sugars may be high several hours later. Lower body exercises generally burn more fuel (sugar) due to increased muscle mass. It may just be that on those days your blood sugars are coming down more quickly. Try consistent timing of testing, and see if you don't notice a change.

Eurobike 2010: Canyon launch Strive enduro bike
Plus 3x10 hub gear hardtail and new V-Drome track bike
German direct-to-consumer outfit Canyon will replace their 160mm-travel Torque ES all-mountain machine with a lighter and more all-day-friendly platform called Strive.
Strive will continue on with the same 160mm of rear wheel travel but will switch from the previous Horst Link four-bar suspension design to a linkage-actuated single-pivot setup similar to that used by Focus and Diamondback.
Conical half-shafts on the main pivot, an especially chunky chainstay bridge and 142x12mm through-axle dropouts should help prevent rear-end twist (a drawback of the other designs mentioned), while a needle-bearing equipped lower shock mount should make for much smoother action than the usual DU bushing setups.
Meanwhile, weight is kept in check with the hydroformed and butted alloy main tubing and chainstays, with the new frame configuration leaving enough room in the main triangle for a water bottle. Upper-end models get carbon seatstays, tapered head tubes are included throughout, and all but the least expensive Strive have height-adjustable seatposts as standard equipment.
Projekt 1.442
The rest of Canyon's off-road range receives mostly minor tweaks but the Projekt 1.442 showpiece provides a glimpse of what's to come – and we like what we see. Rather than use a conventional 3×10 drivetrain, the Project 1.442 mates a 10-speed cassette and rear derailleur with a three-speed internally geared rear hub. This offers a slightly greater spread than a traditional three-ring crankset, all supposedly at about the same weight as a Shimano Deore XT drivetrain.
A set of planetary gears in Canyon's rear hub mimics the spread of a three-ring crankset
In addition to the claimed improved durability relative to a three-ring, Canyon say their Mach 3 hub requires almost no maintenance, allows for narrower pedal stance widths, and also makes for much better chain retention as a mini chainguide can then be used full-time up front. The system is based on a 32T chainring so as to maintain maximum compatibility with various suspension designs, and the 142x12mm rear dropouts leave enough room to tuck the shift actuation mechanism inside the stays for better protection from rock impacts.
Canyon hung the drivetrain concept on what looked to be a modified version of their Grand Canyon CF carbon hardtail frame (though perhaps more likely a development mule for the next-generation hardtail), complete with big chainstays and little seatstays – reminiscent of their Ultimate CF SLX road racer – direct-mount front derailleur tabs (used to mount the chainguide in this case) and internally routed cables.
Canyon's Projekt 1.442 looks to be based on an updated Grand Canyon CF hardtail
The component spec was suitably lightweight, including a DT Swiss fork, Syntace bar and stem, Formula R1 brakes (with a 180mm front rotor!), Schwalbe tyres, a Tune front hub and DT Swiss carbon rims, all topped with Canyon's remarkably cushy VCLS seatpost.
Road range
Aside from the introduction of the Aeroad CF aero road bike we showed you back in May, the road range is essentially unchanged but for the addition of a new V-Drome track model. As is usually the case with this genre, stiffness and aerodynamics were the main goals, resulting in the use of deep-section aluminium tubing, stout stays, steel-faced rear-entry horizontal dropouts, and the same carbon post used on Canyon's Speedmax time trial bike.
Canyon address an omission in their range with the new V-Drome track bike
As for the rumors of pending UK and US availability, that's something Canyon say they're still working on but hope to nail down sometime in 2011. Keep your fingers crossed.

The invitations have gone out, and once again I didn't receive one.
I wasn't asked by a single high school, college, or university in the United States to give their commencement speech, even though I promised not to use the words "doom" and "apocalypse."
I have a doozy too. I've been told you have to start with a joke. I have one about Ted Nugent. "What's the difference between Ted Nugent and a laundry bag full of frozen underwear?"
I figure I haven't been invited because I am a no-name who can't be trusted.
One school told me they were worried I might tell students the truth.
I am not losing sleep because I haven't been invited. I'm not a big believer in ceremonies in the first place, but The People seem to love them.
And if no one in your family has earned a high school or college degree before, it's undoubtedly very meaningful.
My elementary school in Fullerton, California, had a ceremony for those of us who had mastered sixth grade. I remember sitting there with a frown on my face.
Graduation ceremonies in films are often depicted with derision. The speaker is boring and the students are disinterested.
Speakers often try too hard to say something profound.
"Nothing in life is guaranteed. You have to earn it." That kind of thing.
Some speakers sermonize.
"You are all sinners in the hands of an angry God." That kind of thing. I would walk out.
After the Nugent joke, I would read a few quotes: Lewis Carroll, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx.
I would do a loud and obnoxious promotion for Flex-Seal, just like the ones on television.
And I would close with some young women singing "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" — a cappella. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the joint.
All seriousness aside, I have a small request. If you or your kid is graduating, don't send an announcement to an edge-acquaintance who hasn't heard from you in four years.
It's an insult.
It just might look like you are beggaring a gift.
I'm not sure why we give gifts to the students anyhow. Instead of their teachers.
The word "commencement" means "to begin," not "to conclude."
Although for some, it is the end of the line.
High school and college years are lovely contrivances, not the Real World.
I didn't want to leave my alma mater. It was paradise. The campus itself is an island of accomplished educators, bright, international students, and exquisite architecture and landscaping.
There are islands like it in (Boulder) Colorado, (Ann Arbor) Michigan, and (Tempe) Arizona. What's better than learning? What's better than learning around dedicated faculty and dedicated students?
Throw in some burned-out educators and delinquent students, to provide a frame of reference for reality, and a day will come when a memory trace will make you stop for a moment and reminisce about your school.
Sometimes all it takes is a song.
These lyrics came out the year I graduated: "Half my life is books, written pages. Live and learn from fools and from sages."
Dream on, Class of 2018.

Mark Wahlberg, twice nominated for an Oscar, has picked up an award he's wanted for a long time: his high school diploma.
The 42-year-old, who dropped out of school in ninth grade after being charged with attempted murder, was motivated to graduate by his four children, People said. He said he didn't want them wondering why they needed to do something he'd neglected.
He took online classes, the hardest of which was math, he said. He hired a tutor and studied between takes on "Two Guns," keeping his project a secret, including from costar Denzel Washington.
"I wondered, 'Why didn't I do it when I was there?' It's so much harder ... going back and trying to do all these difficult tasks," he told the magazine Monday in Irvine at an event for the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens, where he presented scholarships.
(On that attempted murder charge, Wahlberg eventually pleaded guilty to assault, got a two-year sentence behind bars and served 45 days.)
The diploma was awarded back in June, so the "Ted" star is Class of 2013. He said he might go on to college, where he could study things related to the career he already has going.
Also hopping on the high-school graduate train recently: Charlie Sheen, 48, who finally picked up his paper from Santa Monica High School, where he said he'd been a credit and a half shy for 30 years.
Charlie, however, didn't appear to do any online classes, but instead told TMZ he got his credits because of charity work he did for the school. One of the baseball coaches, he said, "worked the principal," telling him, "Hey, he's donated a lot of dough to the school and he does a lot of stuff in the community; it makes perfect sense to just give it to him."
He said he bothered to do it because he wanted to beat "a lifelong habit of never finishing things."

Two Columbus Circle
Two Columbus Circle is a freestanding ten-story reinforced-concrete structure. The height of the nine stories plus mechanical penthouse is 158 feet. The total gross floor area of the building is 54,000 square feet. At ground level, on all four façades, a colonnade of geometrically shaped curved precast concrete panels is inset with ovals of polished red granite veneer panels. Seven columns follow the curve of Columbus Circle, four columns follow in a straight line along Eighth Avenue, nine columns follow the straight line of West 58th Street, and seven columns follow the angle of Broadway. There is a loading dock between the sixth column and the seventh column and a bronze door of a fire stair exit between the third and fourth column on the West 58th Street side (counting from Eighth Avenue). The colonnade surrounds, in parallel fashion, a recessed lobby with plate glass walls with bronze mullions. This glass wall continues for two column bays on the east, all six bays on the north and two column bays on the west sides. Two glass and bronze revolving doors, which provide entrance from Columbus Circle, are set symmetrically to either side of the center point of the concave north glass wall. The rest of the exterior ground level walls are clad in bookmatched Verde marble veneer. There is a subway entrance on West 58th Street at Eighth Avenue, just outside the building line on the southwest corner of the block. The same façade material, bookmatched Verde marble veneer, is intact on the stairwell walls leading down from this entrance to the station's mezzanine. The railing for this subway entrance, a version of the Transit Authority's "KS1" railing of the early sixties, was custom crafted in bronze with a Verde marble base and featured the same circular design motif as other railings on the building. This railing has been removed and replaced by plywood.
The upper story walls are constructed of two inch thick grey-veined white Vermont Imperial Darby marble veneer panels set on concrete back-up which in turn are supported on stainless-steel shelf angles. An open arcade at the eighth and ninth floors at the center of each façade consists of a modern interpretation of a Venetian arcade, with terraces behind the arcades wrapping around these floor levels. Along the north terrace a wall of fenestration affords views overlooking Columbus Circle. The terrace provides direct views north up Broadway and of the southeast corner of Central Park. The tenth floor is a mechanical penthouse set back from the principal façade the same distance as the ground floor lobby. This penthouse is also clad in Vermont Imperial Darby marble.
The building is distinguished by bands of pierced White Vermont Imperial Darby marble panels. These pierced panels contain four 'portholes' each. Each porthole measures twelve inches in diameter. A double set of pierced panels are grouped vertically at the corner of each façade and two triple sets on the central portion of the south façade. A single set of panels just above the ground floor colonnade runs horizontally and a quadruple set runs horizontal as well between the upper arcade and roof parapet. A large portion of these 1,472 'portholes' are glazed, which bring natural light to the interior. Others are filled with recessed circles of red granite. From the exterior, both glazed and filled 'portholes' give the appearance of consistent opaqueness.
In plan Two Columbus Circle follows the shape of the plot, reinforcing the 'street wall'. This aspect of the design is especially notable in the concave north façade which follows the curve of the circle on a 217-degree radius.
Before dismantling, the façade materials of Two Columbus Circle were intact and completely original. Many of the marble panels are sound; others were in a deteriorated condition. This deterioration of some of the marble façade panels due to weathering and neglect could have been mediated by the application of contemporary preservation techniques.
Columbus Circle is a landscaped multi-lane traffic rotary. Broadway, Eighth Avenue, and Central Park South (West 59th Street) all converge on Columbus Circle. It is the point where - the commercial office and theater districts of Midtown to the south, the high-density residential Upper West Side to the north and west, the hotel and luxury apartment district of Central Park South to the east, and Central Park to the northeast - come together. The building, because of its size, shape and façade material, is prominent on its site.
Directly to the south of Two Columbus Circle, across West 58th is a dark brick, twenty-six story office tower, formerly known as the General Motors Building. To the west is a mixed-use complex known as the Time Warner Center which consists of a curving base clad in grey granite and glass containing an indoor shopping center topped by twin dark reflective glass clad seventy-five story towers containing offices, apartments and a hotel. Until the completion of this complex, Two Columbus Circle was the sole building built in the post-Second World War era whose façade followed the curve of the Circle. To the north across the Circle is a forty-four story bronze glass clad hotel/apartment tower, the Trump International Hotel and Towers. To the northeast is the Merchants Gate of Central Par marked by the Maine Monument. To the east is a buff-brick clad high-rise apartment complex, 240 Central Park South (New York City Landmark), which contains shops at its base directly across Broadway from Two Columbus Circle. To the southeast is the twenty-story limestone clad U.S. Rubber Building. At the center of Columbus Circle, directly to the north of Two Columbus Circle, surrounded by fountains, is a 80 foot column topped by a statue of Christopher Columbus.
The roughly trapezium shaped plot of Two Columbus Circle is bounded by Columbus Circle on the north, Broadway on the east, West 58th Street on the south, and Eighth Avenue on the West. The building's footprint totals 4,600 square feet. The building occupies the entire lot. In plan Two Columbus Circle follows the shape of the plot, reinforcing the 'street wall'. This aspect of the design is especially notable in the concave north façade which follows the curve of the circle on a 217-degree radius.
On a tiny, irregular island site "a miracle was needed to get an orderly, spacious gallery area", said Stone. His solution was a series of galleries, arranged on landings like a grand staircase which spiral around the building's central core. The arrangement of a stair gallery wrapping around a central core was similar to that proposed almost thirty years before by Howe & Lescaze's Scheme Six proposal for the Museum of Modern Art in 1931. New York Times art critic John Canaday found that this arrangement "under New York's building code, demanded so much elevator and stairway space that the exhibition galleries were reduced to boutiques, clustered around palatial escape routes." Stone had solved the 'insurmountable' gallery requirements on a cramped site with masterful grace, hoisting visitors up by elevator and sending them down via galleries which are partially distributed on stair landings, one of which achieves grandiloquent height", said critic Olga Gueft. Filtered natural light is introduced through glazed perforations at the corners, a technique which prevented deterioration of art work by filtering ultra-violet radiation. These perforations act as 'portholes' providing tantalizing glimpses of Central Park without distracting viewers from the art. By arranging the fenestration in the corners of Two Columbus Circle, architect Edward Durell Stone solved the dilemma of maximizing uninterrupted wall space for mounting exhibitions in a building of modest dimensions.
Speaking of the character and atmosphere of the gallery spaces Stone said: "The old monumental repositories had long since gone, replaced by the dramatic white, austere, brilliantly-illuminated areas, a tradition of the thirties. Yet, I have long felt that one of the objectives of a museum should be to make the visitor aspire to have original works of art in his home. With this in mind the galleries were given warm, rich materials and comfortable furniture. In such surroundings it is not difficult to project works of art into your own environment." With wall to wall carpeting, parquet, and walls sheathed in wood and linen the galleries looked less like a museum than a home. Stone encouraged visitors to relax, rendezvous, and enjoy the glamour-studded openings. For Huntington Hartford's trend-defying art collection Stone produced a site-defying building with disarming interiors. In addition, the architectural detailing of Two Columbus Circle had an easy and lighthearted feel. The circle motif was used extensively, from the porthole windows to the sidewalk paving. Inside, grilles, lighting fixtures and railings picked up the form. Even the railing for the subway entrance at 58th Street was custom cast in bronze to incorporate the motif.
Edward Durell Stone's design manages to reconcile issues of function with the qualities of contextualism, urbanism, and emotional impact. This concern for these qualities was prescient. Two Columbus Circle represents an early example of the trend, which began in the 1960s, to reconcile more expressive human qualities with the cool intellectual abstractions of the prevailing International Style of the Modern Movement. Stone chose forms and materials scandalous to many critics of the period. Yet today, in light of changes in perception brought about by the evolution that modern architecture has gone through in the past four decades, some of the disparagement appears overwrought. Stone's response to a complex program on a difficult, constricted site is admirable. The distinguishing architectural characteristics of Two Columbus Circle include, the tripartite organization of the façade, use of arcades at ground level and near the top, solid and pierced white marble façade panels, the organization of galleries at half levels wrapped around a central circulation core, the use of 'portholes' to allow natural light into the interior while protecting the art work from UV radiation, the clustering of these 'portholes' at the corners and the center of the long south wall in order to maximize wall space for displaying framed art work, and the specification of a palate of quality finishes achieving an intimate environment for viewing art. Although the building is only forty years old, today it is a work whose design value has been recognized by prominent critics and writers. It embodies distinctive characteristics of style and period, and it has generated extensive scholarly comment and evaluation. Throughout his search for "exuberant forms" via ornament and historical allusion, Stone never lost sight of the functionalism that was at the heart of the Modern movement. For the museum he used a reinforced concrete structural system for efficiency; ebony, bronze, book-matched walnut, marble and plush carpets for emotional expression. Split level galleries ingeniously made up for small floor plates, while nine stories of strikingly white Vermont Darby marble and an airborne Venetian arcade lent formality and historical reference. Stone's first proposals for the exterior in 1956 show a virtually blank façade above a street level arcade, with glass wrapping the entire top floor. In 1959, he wrapped the building in a completely neutral mesh-like screen, revealing the structural frame only at the base and the roof. In both schemes, Stone was searching for a Classical simplicity compatible with, and complementary to Carrerre and Hastings's United States Rubber Building (1912), located diagonally across from the site at the southeast corner of Broadway and West 58th Street. The final scheme, released in late 1959 shows the organization of the façade as a modern interpretation of the Beaux-Arts principle of the tripartite method. This method was based upon the three part organization of classical columns – base, shaft and capital. This tripartite method is illustrated in the adjacent Beaux-Arts U.S. Rubber Building. At Two Columbus Circle, architect Edward Durell Stone translated this classical principle by utilizing an arcade for the 'base', the smooth 'shaft' of white marble in the middle of the composition, and an arcade at the top akin to a 'capital'. The walls of the Venetian-inspired vertical palazzo were perforated with porthole-like openings at the corners, base and crown to suggest rustication inspired according to Stone, by Saint-Germain-des Pres, a Romanesque Church in Paris. Referring to these and the vaguely middle-eastern inspired arcade at its base, New York Times, architectural critic Ada Louise Huxtable's made her infamous quip about "a die-cut Venetian palazzo on lollypops", although what is not recalled is that the barb was significantly buried in a report of amazing amiability. Interiors Magazine critic Olga Gueft wrote; "Every inch of the site's building envelope is occupied. And every conceivable trick has been used to hide that fact –e.g., the play of circles on the façade and paving that distracts the eye from the hard building outline. For these miniature red granite-trimmed, green marble-lined colonnades, these rows of portholes like borders of eyelet hand-embroidered on a marble christening robe are too winsome for heavyweight criticism. "
Edward Durrell Stone (1902-1978) was one of twentieth century America's premier architects. His firm, based in New York City, was among the largest in the country. Branch offices were based in Chicago and Los Angeles. Stone was one of the few American-born architects working within the Modern Movement who enjoyed an international reputation and a worldwide practice. Stone was one of the few practitioners in the United States, in the pre-World War Two period, associated with International Style Modernism. His later career was marked by a dramatic evolution towards a reconciliation of Modernist concepts with an expressive personal style.
In post-war New York, three new, controversial museum buildings by America's master architects were completed: the Guggenheim by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959, The Huntington Hartford Gallery of Art at Two Columbus Circle in 1964, and the Whitney Museum of American Art by Marcel Breuer in 1966. Each of these structures is a provocative, expressive statement and represents a questioning of Modern orthodoxy. Edward Durell Stone arrived at the challenging design solution for Two Columbus Circle in part as a result of the journey his career had taken; first in the 1920s as an apprentice architect in the employ of traditionalist architects, then in the 1930s practicing as a young professional enthralled by the new forms and philosophies of the emerging International Style, then a reevaluation of those ideas in the 1940s. For the rest of his career Stone's work would be marked by the search for an expressive, personal style while remaining true to his interpretation of the functionalism and goals of the Modern Movement. Two Columbus Circle is an important work by a master American architect at the height of his career. It is a pivotal work, in that it represents Stone's own questioning of Modern orthodoxy and prophetic concerns for issues of context and urbanism. It is a prime, intact example of the evolution in architectural design and thought that was beginning to occur in the mid-1960s.
As architectural historians have sought, in recent years, to paint a much more complex picture of the spectrum of positions held by modernist architects, Edward Durell Stone's critique of the mainstream of the Modern Movement has been regarded with greater sympathy. Indeed it might be said that Stone has not enjoyed such a high regard since he appeared on Time Magazine during the height of his popularity in his lifetime. And with the hind-sight of Post-Modernism many now understand that Stone's embrace of ornament and historical allusion as critiques of doctrinaire International Style Modernism were important and precocious efforts to enrich the practice of modern architecture. These experiments are best embodied in two of Stone's Two Columbus Circle. Not only is Two Columbus Circle a work of historic significance in the history of American modern architecture, but its architect's stance was in direct sympathy with that of his client, whose Gallery of Modern Art sought to argue for a broader spectrum of modern art as a critique of the nearby Museum of Modern Art. Just as the artists displayed within embraced the human figure as opposed to abstraction, so Stone's museum maintained that to be modern did not mean to be cut one off from artistic tradition. Huntington Hartford's museum- an important episode in New York's place in the history of modern taste and art – is recalled in Stone's building.
Stone was not alone in exploring alternatives to mainstream Modernism. His later work exemplified the transition from Bauhaus Modernism to "other modernisms" that began abroad. The explorations were happening in the U.S. at Lincoln Center (1955–1969) with its "Monumental Modern," particularly the buildings of Philip Johnson and Wallace Harrison; with Minoru Yamasaki's Gothic inspired U.S. Pavilion for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, and later his World Trade Center towers; and with Eero Saarinen's Ingalls Rink (1956–1958) and TWA Terminal (1956–1962).
Stone's later works such as Two Columbus Circle did not follow the main trajectory of Modern architecture storming forward—progressive, experimental and abstract—as many critics thought it ought to. Rather, his work looked back at things that were not abstract. Two Columbus Circle is a signature Edward Durell Stone building encapsulating the architect's late career theories. It is of its time, categorically representing the small subset of the Modern movement where Historicism and Modernism colluded.
Two Columbus Circle was designed to be complementary to its urban context. It was the first modern building on the site to address and hold the curve of the Circle. Its white marble façade, with its classical references, creates an appropriate backdrop for the Columbus rostrum column at the center of the Circle. Its classical tripartite façade organization relates well with the Beaux-Arts U.S. Rubber skyscraper adjacent. Its modest scale and light color distinguishes it from its larger, darker neighbors. It also acts as a gentle transition between the high-rise structures to the south and the open space of the Circle. Two Columbus Circle acts as a classical monument on an axial boulevard - it punctuates the vista from the north along Central Park West, as well as Broadway. Two Columbus Circle exhibits qualities of good urbanism rare in its 1964 contemporaries.
In 2002 work began on a total reconstruction of Columbus Circle itself, reconfiguring the automobile traffic once again in a circular pattern while for the first time providing a meaningful landscaped park with safer access for pedestrians at its center. Concurrently, west of Two Columbus Circle, construction of Ten Columbus Circle began. It's the most expensive single-building construction project in U.S. history. The Ten Columbus Circle building, known as Time Warner Center, will house Time Warner's corporate headquarters, CNN's New York bureau, Jazz at Lincoln Center, a luxury hotel, and luxury condominiums. The new building takes its cue from Stone's building in that its front 4-story volume follows the curve of the Circle providing an amenable, pedestrian-friendly portico designed to human scale. It is a compliment to the Circle, the Maine Monument, and Two Columbus Circle.

City of Colorado Springs:$98,520 to clear debris in Harlan Wolfe Park and replace a flood-damaged century-old structure with a new outdoor classroom and pavilion.
Great Outdoors Colorado is awarding Lyons $1 million to help pay for restoration of flood-ravaged Meadow Park to a usable condition in time for the community's summer activities.
Longmont will get a $599,798 GOCO grant to help pay for restoring 3.5 miles of trail along the St. Vrain Greenway as well as to help fund repairs to the city's Lefthand Creek trail.
Another grant, for $720,000, will help Boulder County repair flood damages at Pella Crossing Natural Park and segments of its Longmont to Boulder and Boulder Canyon trails.
Jamestown is getting $117,635 to re-establish its Town Square center with tables, creekside seating, fencing and vegetation and to perform erosion control measures at Elysian Park.
Those were among about $4.5 million in emergency flood recovery grants noted in a news conference with Gov. John Hickenlooper in Lyons on Wednesday.
"Thanks to these GOCO funds that will support mostly volunteer-based flood recovery projects, we can build back better, stronger and more sustainable access to our most treasured Colorado locations," Hickenlooper said.
Wednesday's news conference was held in Lyons' Meadow Park, which has been closed since the flood but may be at least partially reopened by mid-June thanks to the GOCO grant and other flood-recovery assistance sources.
"Lyons' parks are our treasures," said Mayor John O'Brien, calling Meadow Park "our jewel among jewels."
The $4.5 million in GOCO grants will go to help cover the costs of 14 flood recovery projects in Boulder, Larimer, Weld, Jefferson, Morgan and El Paso counties to restore damaged or destroyed parks, trails and open spaces. The state agency is keeping about $500,000 more in a contingency fund in case it's turned out to be needed by the grant recipients.
GOCO Executive Director Lise Aangeenbrug said that the agency's grants "will help communities get started on restoring popular parks or trails or start the planning process to figure out how best to rebuild."
"In some cases, reopening damaged parks quickly is vital to a community's economic recovery," she said.
"Outdoor recreation is our bread and butter," Lyons town administrator Victoria Simonsen said.
O'Brien said the GOCO grant "will allow us to get started" on restoring Meadow Park, which he said "will be one of the few green oases in our community this year."
City manager Harold Dominguez said Longmont appreciates the size and timing of the grant.
Longmont officials have estimated the floods had about a $19.7 million impact on its greenway trails, neighborhood parks and district parks, and Dominguez said the grant "will have a huge impact for the community."
The grant money comes from the portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds the agency gets for helping preserve and enhance parks, wildlife habitat, rivers and open spaces.
State officials also announced Wednesday that $8 million in spending is planned for a partnership between Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Colorado Department of Transportation to fund construction of a trail corridor to allow safer travel between Lyons and Estes Park.
Wednesday's news conference also featured the announcement of commitments of more than $100,000 in private funds for smaller grants and assistance to help flood-impacted communities restore their outdoor recreation facilities, parks and trails.
The Oskar Blues CAN'd Aid Foundation, in a partnership with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and South Creek Limited, is presenting Lyons with $31,875 that will be earmarked for a "Fishing is Fun" grant and used as local matching funds for a larger $100,000 Parks and Wildlife grant for St. Vrain River restoration.
The Fund to Restore Colorado's Trails, Waterways and Parks — a fund launched by Active Boulder and supported by private industry, foundation and individual donors — announced $67,000 in funding to help organize and support 20 volunteer-based and youth corps flood recovery projects. Most of those projects are expected to focus on restoring damaged trails but also are to include wildlife habitat restoration, in efforts that may mobilize nearly 900 volunteers.
Officials said that 11 of the 14 GOCO flood recovery grant recipients plan to use youth corps members or volunteers to help carry out their projects.

With digital security only becoming more important, it's no surprise that Google has a novel idea up its sleeve - rings!
MIT Technology Review has an in-depth look at how the company wants to use a ring to replace all your passwords for internet services.
As a proof of concept, the company is currently experimenting with a USB key that "performs a cryptographic transaction with an online service to prove the key's validity when it's plugged into a computer."
The next step would be to condense this into a ring that can carry out the same function wirelessly. Pretty cool as long as you don't lose it.

One of our top favorite places to go for a special night. We've been taking our kids since they were babies and the staff knows them and can always find something for them to eat (burger, fish n chips, pasta, etc.) even though there's no "kids' menu". The kind of place where the waitstaff has been there for years. Our favorite time of year is during the RoadTrip menu!
Our family had a birthday dinner here thursday May 23rd. Celebrating many blessings.
The food was outrageous.. delicious and prepared with a thoughtful hand. I never knew
you could prepare shrimp in so many ways.. I really appreciated the clean surroundings.
Decent sea food but most meals are somewhat overpriced. Also, the drinks are "stupid" expensive here. The exterior is dumpy though the inside is just fine. Want better seafood and ambiance for about the same price? Make the trip to the Skyline area.
Scallops! Yum!
Love it! My wife and I have eaten there on many occasions and, yes, we're among those people who make special requests. She likes to have the sauces on the side so she can add just the right amount to her fish; I like my lobster shelled. Prior to going to Kingfisher, my wife said she didn't like seafood. Now we eat at Kingfisher and Bluefin more often than other restaurants (and we eat out a lot!). We've known many of the wait staff for years and they know our routine. Tim does great work up front and Jeff and Murph do frequent checks with the diners to make sure the food is tasty and prepared as they like.
The seafood is, of course, great. And, no matter what kind of restaurant scene one likes, they have something for everyone. Upstairs is quiet and reserved (you can take the staircase or the elevator to reach there). The patio opens into the Casas Adobes courtyard and the nearby fountain provides pleasant sounds. The bar has booth seating, table seating with 1/2 bench and 1/2 chairs, and the bar stools are the most comfortable I've sat in. Happy hour is energetic and a variety of oysters are served at all times. The wine list is ample and there's a reserve list if you want to splurge a little more.

Just how much is a lot�tery?
SNOW HILL � For the first time in the six-year history of the N.C. Education Lottery, its officials toured one of the schools funded by lottery construction funds and met with county officials to explain where the money goes.
Robert �Bob� Farris Jr., Lottery Commission chairman from Wilson; Alice Garland, executive director of the N.C. Lottery; Van Denton, director of communications; and Jaime Fuquay, director of government relations, met with the Greene County Board of Commissioners and Board of Education Wednesday.
Arba resident Jody Tyson, appointed to the lottery commission in September by Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, said he discovered at his first meeting with the commission the members had never officially visited any of the schools that received construction funding, so he made the suggestion for them to visit the Greene County Intermediate School.
�It was to better inform the Board of Education and county commissioners exactly what the lottery mission is,� was the reason he said he suggested the visit. �It was to better educate them and to give a specific account of how much money Greene County has received from the proceeds of the North Carolina Education Lottery, and what those proceeds have been used for.�
Garland explained the lottery process using a slide presentation and stated the lottery�s mission �to increase and maximize the available revenues for education purposes.�
�It�s the first time a county has invited us in like this,� she said.
Total lottery education funds were about $50 million in 2006 and have climbed every year to $456.7 million in 2012.
�We are on track to do $462 to $465 (million) maybe, this (fiscal) year,� Garland said.
The commission regulates how much money goes into education based on legislature guidelines. Currently, the percentage of money allocated to education is 29 percent, or the net profit of all lottery revenue.
Garland explained the prize money is set to a level � 60 percent this year � to make it enticing enough that people will want to buy tickets.
The legislature regulates how the education money will be divided and the N.C. Department of Public Instruction decides how construction and salary dollars will be distributed throughout the school districts. The remaining education dollars are managed by various government entities.
�The only one we can track with any amount of accuracy is the school construction funds,� Superintendent Patrick Miller said.
That�s because when state revenue is distributed, it isn�t specifically specified as lottery funds. Only the construction funding is clearly separated out.
Lottery profits originally were 50 percent for teacher salaries and pre-kindergarten programs, 40 percent for construction and 10 percent for need-based college scholarships.
Now, 50 percent goes strictly to teacher salaries and the remaining 50 percent is divided into school construction (22.7 percent), pre-kindergarten (14.3 percent), need-based (state) college scholarships (6.9 percent), local school systems (3.7 percent) and UNC need-based financial aid (2.4 percent).
In recent years, the state has required increasingly higher reversions from school districts. To compensate for the deficiencies in state funding, the 3.7 percent lottery allocation was approved by the legislature for school systems to use wherever they see the need, Garland said.
In the lottery�s six years, Greene County has received more than $6 million from the lottery.
�I can tell you, in Greene County, a million dollars will go a long way,� Miller said.
Garland said no taxpayer money is paid to the lottery. It pays for itself and the administration costs are a tight 4 percent with a staff of 245 people, she said.
Administration costs break down to 1.7 percent for gaming system services; 1 percent for salaries, wages and benefits; 0.9 percent for advertising; and 0.7 percent for other costs, including technology and a fleet of 81 vehicles.
The lottery also provides funding for the Department of Health and Human Services� Problem Gambling Program, which has a hotline for people seeking help with a gambling addiction.
Garland said the commission would rather see many people buy fewer tickets than a few people buy a lot of tickets.
The majority of the hotline calls are related to people who play at sweepstakes caf�s, which are not regulated by the state, she said.
Commissioner Jerry Jones asked if the outcropping of Internet caf�s will affect the lottery earnings. Farris said they did create a downturn in lottery revenue when they first came on the scene, but lottery funds have continued to increase each year.
Jones asked if the caf�s will be regulated. Garland said there�s no deadline, but lottery officials �are waiting with baited breath for that decision� by the legislature.
�Our job is to make money,� Garland said, �as much money for education as we can.�

A Word Of Thanks
I rarely blog, and when I do it's almost always about an event, rather than a person. This entry is an exception in no small part to draw attention to a seminal moment, and an illustrious career of someone who is finishing one chapter and about to start another.
On March 9, 2012, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) announced its top cybersecurity leader would retire at month's end. Shawn Henry, the FBI's Executive Assistant Director (EAD), has been at the forefront of the FBI's response to cybersecurity crimes and investigations for the past several years, albeit his career at the FBI spans multiple decades and his responsibilities are broader than just cyber.
EAD Henry helped establish the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF) to mitigate and disrupt cyber attacks threatening national security in the US as well as other countries. He was instrumental in restructuring the Bureau's cyber strategy and investigative programs, and recognized that his work in the United States alone would not be enough. He and his team reached out to national law enforcement agencies in Amsterdam, Romania and Estonia to make the necessary differences in those regions.
I was fortunate to work with EAD Henry during my time as a commissioner on the CSIS Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency, at the National Cybersecurity Forensics Training Alliance (NCFTA), as well as on strategies and discussions to determine how we can make the Internet safer for all users.
As a leader, EAD Henry was quick to credit his team and not ever seek credit for himself. He built a bench at the Bureau that will carry the hard work into tomorrow. His influence spanned the public-private and law enforcement communities in the US and abroad, even if the mission was challenging.
The sacrifices he and his family made during his tenure were non-trivial; we all owe him, his family, and the women and men at the Bureau a debt of gratitude for their hard work. His understanding of the threat landscape, his passion and accomplishments, and his commitment to making the world a safer place has made him a hero to me – and one that will be missed at the FBI. That's ok, though. He leaves a great team in place to take their next step, and he will be in the private sector still fighting the good fight, just from a different angle. And that's good, because we need him to.

For this report, we present author-calculated effects of the impact on participants. Participants are program group members who received more than one EHS home visit. Therefore, any program group members who received only one home visit (likely for the purpose of completing registration paperwork rather than for service delivery) are excluded.
This table shows a study's results by outcome measure. Rows for primary outcomes
are shaded. Favorable outcomes are listed in green and unfavorable or ambiguous
outcomes are listed in red.
For a uniform approach, HomVEE calculates mean differences as the
program group mean minus the comparison group mean. In some studies, authors did
this calculation in the opposite direction.
The odds ratio is the odds of an event occurring in one group divided
by the odds of an event occurring in another group. If the odds of an event occurring
in group A equals 3 and the odds of an event occurring in group B equals 2, the
odds ratio equals 1.5. In other words, there is a 1.5 times greater likelihood the
event will occur in group A than in group B.
Statistical significance is an indication of the probability that the observed finding
was obtained by chance (when there is not a real relationship in the population).
If the p-value is equal to or less than a predetermined cutoff (in the
HomVEE review, 0.05), then the finding is considered statistically significant or
probably not obtained by chance.
HomVEE reports author-calculated effect sizes when available, as labeled in the
table. If the author did not report effect sizes, but sufficient information was
available, HomVEE calculated effect sizes.
The HomVEE review calculates effect sizes using the same computations as the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). The WWC, established by the Institute for
Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education, reviews education research.
For more information, please read WWC effect size calculations.
Primary outcome measure: For the HomVEE review, an outcome measured
through direct observation, direct assessment, or administrative data; or self-reported
data collected using a standardized (normed) instrument.
Secondary outcome measure: For the HomVEE review, most self-reported
data, excluding self-reports based on a standardized (normed) instrument.
This table describes in more detail the outcome measures used by a study. Rows for
primary outcomes are shaded.
The study expressed some effect sizes as a percentage of the standard deviation. To be consistent with other studies, HomVEE divided the study-reported effect size by 100 and rounded to two decimal places (Love, et al., 2002).

Topic: LDAP Reconfiguration
Hello Everyone!
I've set up iRedmail with LDAP-Backend. Everything worked fine, but after the iRedAdmin Konfiguration (which worked, too, with LDAP-Login etc) the LDAP-Tree in the phpLdapAdmin disappeared and i got the message "This Base Entry does not exist. Create now?"
I searched for the Problem but got no Solution in the Config-Files of LDAP.
Therefore i deleted the complete Configuration of LDAP and tried to configure it again with the iRedmail Installation Files (Bash iRedmail.sh). I started an new Configuration in the Menu. After everything was set, i got the Message that all Installation-Parts were skipped (i guess because it was found as "installed"). The Problem is, that the LDAP is now unconfigured and i dont get an idea how to restore the configuration...
Can someone help?

Not a focal point, below, but a grand subsidiary focal point.
Garden Design Rule: One Focal Point per Area.
Not my rule, but agreed to.
What to do? Invent another rule.
Focal Points are allowed subsidiary focal points nearby if they recede, touch foliage, don't draw attention. Can be numerous if properly chosen & sited.
Focal Points & Subsidiary Focal Points must both be so wonderful they will be fought over at your estate sale.
Pots must be so wonderful they can remain empty. This young man, above, has dead plantings and he's fabulous.
More, he flows with the style of the home's interior.
Dogs, 3 young children, parents each own a business, they have farm property nearby, and a lake house.
Get the picture? Zero time for the garden.
Designing for women 80+, taught me how to truly design with tough love. A huge honor, and weight. They demand beauty, must have unskilled labor to maintain & little of it, something coming into bloom every 2 weeks, focal points on axis from inside views into the garden. Nothing can go wrong with the garden. Nothing. Health issues arise, the house needs a new roof, a toilet floods. If the garden has issues, they may decide to move. It is my goal, their garden gives strength & joy to carry on in their home.
