Out of Town & Strawberry Rye Galettes/
About a week ago I hopped in a car with two fine ladies and one fine pooch (also a lady) to head upstate to pick strawberries and search for a bit of summer adventure. We fortified ourselves with giant iced coffees and drove about two hours north to a little no-frills farm in the Hudson Valley where we picked berries to our hearts' content, then headed down the road to grab lunch from a burrito trailer. On the drive home we took a detour to pick wildflowers which unexpectedly led us to Bear Mountain where Mazie the dog had her first experience with open water (mixed reviews) and we saw some goslings taking a swim (thumbs up all around). All in all, a banner day.
I rode home in the front seat with a half-flat of warm fragrant berries on my lap and I dreamt up all of the ways I wanted to use them, which only took a few days once I got home. I made a few frozen treats (the first one was posted earlier this week), preserved some, and then baked the last pound of them into these little galettes. I usually don't really like strawberries in baked goods because I think they get a bit soggy, but because these tarts were baked without a lid in a nice hot oven the strawberries roasted and caramelized in such a lovely way.
And this pastry, this pastry! I used it last year for a few rhubarb treats and I have no idea why I forgot about it until just now because it is such a perfect (and easy to work with) dough to wrap up all kinds of fruit.
And in case anyone was wondering, Mazie the dog was an excellent road trip companion and hung out patiently in the shade chewing on sticks while we picked berries to our hearts' content.
Strawberry Galettes
1 large rustic tart or 4-6 small ones
1 recipe rye pastry (below)
1 lb strawberries, whole if they are tiny, cut in half if they are small, quarters if they are large
2 Tablespoons sugar, or more to taste
6 Tablespoons strawberry, rhubarb, or apricot jam
1 Tablespoon flour
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 egg
4 Tablespoons coarse sugar, for sprinkling
To assemble
1. Divide dough into 4-6 equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a round, 1/8'' thick. Transfer the rounds to two large, lined sheet pans, a few inches apart. Store in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
2. In a large bowl combine the strawberries, flour, sugar, and lemon zest and juice. Prepare an egg wash by beating an egg in a bowl with a tablespoon of water.
3. Remove the pastry from the fridge and spread each one with about a tablespoon of jam, then divide the fruit evenly between the disks, leaving a 1'' border around the edges. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling and gently brush the egg wash between the folds to seal. Chill the formed tarts until they are firm, 30-40min.
4. While the tarts are chilling, preheat your oven to 375º. When the tarts are nice and cold, remove them from the fridge, gently brush the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
5. Bake until the crusts are golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and bake until the juices bubble and ooze and the pastry is a deep golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Let cool completely before serving.
Rye Rough Puff Pastry
adapted from Kim Boyce's, Good to the Grain
yield, pastry for 1 large rustic tart 4-6 small ones
I won't lie, the rye pastry takes a bit of work to put together but man is it good. It's my new favorite base for fruit desserts that I plan on using all summer long. Kim Boyce recommends "turing the dough"twice for this recipe, but I wanted a few more flakey layers so I gave it an extra turn. If you are going to use this dough to make a traditional pie, I suggest just doing the two turns. Once you get the hang of making the dough, I suggest making a double or triple batch so you can have it at the ready for all of your summer pies, tarts, and galettes like these guys.
4.25 ounces rye flour
4.25 ounces all purpose flour
1/8 ounce salt
1/2 ounce sugar
6 ounces cold butter cut into chunks
4 ounces ice water (may need a little less or more than this)
1t apple cider vinegar
1. In a large bowl, mix the flours, salt and sugar together. Add in the butter and quickly rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers. You want the butter to break up into small pieces the size of peas to lima beans.
2. Combine the water and apple cider vinegar in a measuring sup. Make a well in the flour/butter mixture and slowly stream the water into the dough while mixing gently. Mix until the water is evenly distributed and the dough holds together when you squeeze it. It will look dry, and that's okay, just as long as it holds together when you squeeze it. If it is too dry, add a bit more water.
3. Dump the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, gather the wrap tightly around the dough and refrigerate it for at least an hour or overnight.
4. After it has chilled, unwrap the dough and place it onto a lightly floured board. Pat the dough into a rough square, then roll it into an 8'' x 11'' rectangle. The dough will be a bit rough and crumbly and that's okay! With the long side of the dough facing you, gently fold the dough into thirds. Then turn the dough so the seam is at the top and parallel to your body. Repeat this process 3 more times then wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days before using.
If the rolling/turning sounds confusing, here is a
great photo tutorial for making rough puff pastry on Food52
. Their method utilizes 6 "turns" of the dough, which isn't necessary for this recipe but it will give you a great idea of what the rolling process looks like.

This is an interim report for my Hague Grant on Lists, Iterators, and Parcels. This report has been far too long in coming; at the time of the original grant proposal (July 2010) it was expected that the design and implementation of Perl 6 lists and iterators was near completion, and that most of what remained to be done would be updating the documentation, tests, and Synopses.
Since that time we've essentially learned that the design as of July 2010 still had some holes in it, especially in the area of performance, and thus I have been working to solidify the underpinnings of both. The lists and iteration implementation in Rakudo 2012.07 is some 40 to 50 times faster than the one that existed at the time of the original grant proposal, and is now written almost entirely in Perl 6 instead of PIR.
As of this report, we now have an updated draft of Synopsis 7 that reflects the best understanding of Perl 6 lists and iterators as of July 2012. In addition, I have given several presentations at YAPC::EU 2011 and YAPC::NA 2012 (1 2) on Perl 6 lists and iteration. The draft is still a draft, even as recently as June 2012 there have been some questions regarding the funamental semantics of Perl 6 lists that may affect the ultimate design. I am currently working with people on #perl6 and the Perl 6 design team to resolve the remaining issues and have them fully documented.
Here is the status of the deliverables identified in the original report:
D1: (Completion of the new list implementation in Rakudo Perl 6.) The list implementation referred to in July 2010 was essentially completed in the following month, but it became quickly apparent that it had performance problems. In Spring 2011 the list code was completely reimplemented in Perl 6 as part of the "nom" branch of development and was about 2x faster than previously. Since then several improvements and refactors have been made to basic list and map operations such that list handling is now 40x to 50x faster than it was in 2010.
More changes are left to be made; there are still some spec-related questions regarding the handling of Parcel flattening and combining of lists, which are waiting on input from the Perl 6 design team. I expect these to be resolved within the next six weeks.
D2: (Review and updated tests for iterables and lists in official test suite.) All of the existing tests have been updated for compliance with the current Lists and Iterables implementation and description. A new section in the test suite is being created to specifically test the features defined by the new Synopsis 7 draft. A key focus of this additional section will be to explicitly document and enforce the list-related design decisions that have been made by the design team over the past several years of development.
D3: (A new version of Synopsis 7.) A draft of a new Synopsis 7 has been checked into the perl6/specs repository. [3] Over the next couple of weeks it will be enhanced with detailed descriptions of List-related methods and functions, as well as incorporate any new decisions made by the design team.
D4: (Update Synopsis 8.) After working on drafts of Synopsis 7, it seems that it will make more sense to document the Parcel and Capture classes directly in Synopsis 7, rather than in a separate synopsis. The handling of slices has changed somewhat since July 2010, and now belongs more naturally in Synopsis 9 (which already covers a fair bit on slicing). The end result of this grant will likely be to eliminate the current Synopsis 8 document, leaving the slot open for documentation of some other Perl 6 feature dealing with data structures (perhaps hash-related items will go here).
D5: Updates to Synopsis 32 will be held until D1, D2, and D3 above are nearing completion.
D6: As mentioned earlier, several presentations have been made regarding List implementation in Perl 6; the material from these presentations will be translated into blog posts over the next couple of months (and updated to reflect changes from deliverables above).
Rakudo users have all remarked at the improvements in list handling over the past couple of years; Rakudo lists now handle infinite sequences and lazy behaviors in a much more intuitive manner than existed in July 2010. What remains to do in this grant is to iron out a few of the remaining details with the design team, document them, add more tests reflecting the decisions made, and write up the final reports and blog postings. In spite of the delays that have occurred thus far with this grant, I believe we are now at a point where the remainder of this grant can be completed within the next two or three months.

Colombian Student Facing A Minimum Of Four Years In Prison For Uploading An Academic Article To Scribd
from the yeah,-nothing-excessive-about-this-sort-of-enforcement dept
Upload a document to Scribd, go to prison for at least four years. Ridiculous and more than a bit frightening, but in a case that has some obvious parallels with Aaron Swartz's prosecution, that's the reality Colombian student Diego Gomez is facing. In the course of his research, he came across a paper integral to his research. In order to ensure others could follow his line of thinking, Gomez uploaded this document for others to view.
According to Gomez, this was a common citation practice among Colombian students.
The important thing is to make a correct citation, attributing researchers' work by indicating their name and year of publication and, of course, not claiming the work of another researcher, but to recognize it and value it. Therefore, what we usually do is to reference the findings and make them available to those who need them.The paper's author obviously disagreed and sued Gomez. But unlike civil lawsuits in the US, copyright-related lawsuits in Columbia carry with them the threat of imprisonment.
Under the allegations of this lawsuit, Gomez could be sent to prison for up to eight years and face crippling monetary fines.To be clear, Gomez did not try to profit from the paper. He also wasn't acting as some sort of indiscriminate distributor of infringing works. But under Colombian law, none of that matters. But to really see who's to blame here for this ridiculous level of rights enforcement, you have to look past the local laws, past the paper's author and directly at the US government.
[Gomez] is being sued under a criminal law that was reformed in 2006, following the conclusion of a free trade agreement between Colombia and the United States. The new law was meant to fulfill the trade agreement's restrictive copyright standards, and it expanded criminal penalties for copyright infringement, increasing possible prison sentences and monetary fines.More details on the awfulness of Colombia's law (spurred on by US special interests) are available in the EFF's earlier coverage. Colombia gave the US copyright industry everything it wanted in order to secure this free trade agreement… and then it just kept going.
Colombia passed a criminal reform bill in 2006 that enacted many of these provisions, but Bill 201 goes even further. Under it, copyright infringers could face harsh criminal penalties, whether or not the individual is aware of committing infringement. It sets up severe penalty provisions including a minimum prison sentence of four years and significant monetary fines.This 2012 bill compounded problems existent in the 2006 free-trade agreement.
Like previous US FTAs, it misleadingly defines "commercial scale" to include non-commercially motivated infringement, forcing US trading partners to adopt the US legal standard.This bill was hastily passed as a welcoming gift for President Obama, shoved through the legislative process in order to get out ahead of the administration's appearance at a Colombia-hosted conference. This deference to the US government could cost Gomez at least four years of his life.
While Colombia seemed very eager to take the worst parts of US copyright law (and make them even more terrible), it was less inclined to take any of the good.
Colombia does not have flexible fair use system like in the United States. It has a closed list of exceptions and limitations to the rights of authors (derecho de autor). This list was issued more than 20 years ago and are narrowly tailored to some specific situations that are not at all applicable to the digital age. Therefore none of these will apply directly to his case even if it was done for educational purposes.The only silver lining here is that the court still needs to consider two aspects before making its decision: mens rea and whether there was any actual economic harm to the author. On the first factor, it seems pretty clear Gomez didn't upload the document to purposefully "rob" the author of his earnings. On the latter, Gomez never made a cent from his infringing upload and actually took it down when he discovered Scribd was planning to charge unregistered users to download papers.
Beneath all of this lies the ugly reality of the academic research market. Just as in the US, plenty of useful information is locked up and inaccessible to anyone unable to afford the frequently exorbitant fees charged by various gatekeepers. Copyright's original intent -- "to promote the progress of science and the useful arts" -- isn't served by this behavior. Instead, it's deployed to further separate a large percentage of the population from knowledge. And in Colombia, it's being used to imprison someone actively "promoting the progress of science."

The hype machine for James Cameron's documentary The Lost Tomb of Christ has hit Anna Nicole Smith levels of ridiculousness. An allegation that Jesus Christ's body has been found is an interesting story. The fact that some big-name moviemaker is behind it adds to the spice and makes it a very legitimate story. But the silliness of the headlines, the hypothetical evidence, poor background information (likely fed by Cameron's PR machine) and the hype factor all add up to give people who take religious issues seriously just another reason to ignore the media. And that's too bad.
The story at this point is an embarrassment to reporters. It's why they have a bad name in religious circles. As Amy Welborn said, "It's nonsense, but you know what ... Easter is coming!!!"
When did a filmmaker turned amateur historian become a reliable source for questions related to archeology? Well, since his facts were based on "sound statistics," as he put it. We all know what they teach journalists in training about statistics ("He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp posts -- for support rather than illumination" -- Andrew Lang).
The documentary is running on The Discovery Channel on March 4. Yes, this is the same channel that airs documentaries that make you want to believe we are visited frequently by UFOs.
One of my favorite quotes comes from an Associated Press piece by Marshall Thompson that draws on interviews the filmmakers did with various television stations:
Cameron told NBC'S "Today" show that statisticians found "in the range of a couple of million to one in favor of it being them." Simcha Jacobovici, the Toronto filmmaker who directed the documentary, said the implications "are huge."
"But they're not necessarily the implications people think they are. For example, some believers are going to say, well this challenges the resurrection. I don't know why, if Jesus rose from one tomb, he couldn't have risen from the other tomb," Jacobovici told "Today."
The range of a million to one? What kind of statistical basis is that for any serious discussion, and what is Jacobovici trying to tell us with that cryptic statement about the implications? It confuses me. Things like that should be explained.
Another problem with the AP piece is including this comment by Cameron:
Cameron said his critics should withhold comment until they see his film.
"I'm not a theologist [sic]. I'm not an archaeologist. I'm a documentary film maker," he said.
So let's all follow Cameron's advice and not write about the film until it comes out? Um, no. He's not a theologian or an archaeologist, but just a documentary filmmaker. Then why are news organizations reporting his words as gospel truth (pardon the pun)? This is a highly scripted media campaign that is relying on all the free publicity provided by eager reporters looking for a story to write. The final paragraph of the AP report, relating to the experts who heavily criticized the documentary, is especially ironic:
None of the experts interviewed by The Associated Press had seen the whole documentary.
Did Thompson see the film?
My favorite
press release news article comes from our friends at Newsweek, who were tipped off to the news much earlier than the rest of us, giving them time to put together a 2,100-word piece documenting the controversy.
Reporters Lisa Miller and Joanna Chen cite all the usual naysayers but frame their words as equal to that of the moviemakers, whose credibility in these matters is self-admittedly lower.
Time magazine's Middle East blog post on the matter is lame:
Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic[,]' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity.
The New York Times is no better:
Raising the Titanic, Sinking Christianity?
The media pack will likely follow this story to its airing in March. We will have gained little from it other than the knowledge that the media can be conned by clever PR tactics into writing a set of dubious stories that do little to sort out established facts from amateurish speculation.

Tim McGraw's 'Two Lanes of Freedom' Debuts at No. 1
He's done it again! Tim McGraw's brand new album, 'Two Lanes of Freedom,' debuted at the No. 1 slot on the Billboard Country Albums chart. This marks the 14th time in his illustrious career that McGraw has topped the charts.
Naturally, the country chart isn't the only place where 'Two Lanes of Freedom' has been climbing the rungs. The album also claimed the top spot on the All-Genre Digital Albums chart, and it came in at No. 2 on the Billboard All-Genre chart.
Not bad for the country music veteran, eh?
Surely McGraw is enjoying his latest success, but he can't stop to celebrate for long. Up next, the singer will host an all-star concert special. 'ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night' will tape on April 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The star-studded show will broadcast on the CBS Television Network at a later date.
And then there's this year's tour season to look forward to. The Two Lanes of Freedom Tour kicks off on May 2 in Birmingham, Ala. and will stop in dozens of U.S. cities in the following months. Brantley Gilbert and Love and Theft will join the country music king on the U.S. leg of the tour.
It's going to be a heck of a year for Tim McGraw!

If this fleece has been in storage for a while, it could have moth larva in it. Keep it outside, and bring in a trashbag at a time (or whatever you have room for) and place in freezer for a few days to kill any insects. I learned the hard way--I, too was given some lovely (at first glance) fleece, and ended up with moth damage all thru my own fiber stash.
Brenda, I've been told that you can just keep it in large sealed bags and put in some moth balls and that will keep the bugs out and kill off the live ones & larva in the fibers. Moth balls give off a gas as they age, hence the reason they get smaller and smaller.
I am sooooo very jealous:)
Yes, I know about using mothballs, but prefer not to have the chemicals in my wool. Freezing works well for me. I also try to wash fleeces asap after they've been in freezer, too.

Let's talk about babycinos. My friend was told at a cafe on Friday that her daughter couldn't have a babycino because they "take too long to make".
Now, this isn't one of those cafes that give away babycinos for free (which would *almost* excuse the babycino ban). They used to charge $1 for them until they decided that wasn't enough compensation for the arduous task of the blasted babycino.
For anyone wondering, I've broken down the business of the babycino for you.
A babycino is typically around 50mls of milk. That means, from 1L of milk, you could make 20 babycinos. If you're buying generic supermarket brand milk at $1 a litre, that's $19 profit from one bottle of milk.
But there's the time factor you cry! Let's be honest, it takes ZERO extra time to froth the milk for a babycino when you're also frothing the milk for a coffee. I've worked as a barista. I spent all day, every day frothing milk. That extra splash of milk in the jug isn't going to eat into your lunch break.
So there's no extra time for the frothing. Unless you're SUPER uncoordinated, it'll take approximately four seconds to pour that froth into a little cup. Maybe add an extra two seconds to pop a marshmallow on the plate. (A large bag of marshmallows costs $6 and has, on average, 80 marshmallows, making them about 7.5 cents each so that cuts your profit margin down to about $17.50 for the 20 babycinos).
So we are up to 6 seconds to make a babycino at a cost of 12.5 cents including the marshmallow.
Actually, it's not costing you anything because if you're charging $1 for the pleasure, you're making 87.5 cents for 6 seconds work. That's $8.75 a minute or $525 an hour which is a pretty decent take if you ask me.
But the real reason babycinos exist isn't just to make kids smile, is it? Because you don't have a queue of kids with their $1 coins waiting for their milk fix. You've got a queue of mums and dads with their wallets, waiting to get a caffeine infusion (probably also going to get a slice of $16 banana bread as well) which they totally deserve because of the aforementioned kids.
But even if they didn't "deserve" it, they're still bringing cash to your cafe, which is what you want isn't it? It's kind of the whole point, right? To make money?
When you tell a parent their child can't have a babycino, you're telling that parent their child isn't welcome in your cafe.
You can't be bothered going to any effort for that child and you'd rather not accommodate the parents so they can get their coffee fix in peace while their child enjoys a little treat in relative silence. You're saying to that parent that their business isn't worth it to you so they should go somewhere else. Which they totally should if you're that rude.
I'm not saying cafes HAVE to bend over backwards for kids or families. I get it: kids are loud and messy and annoying. No one *really* wishes more kids would come and trash their cafe.
I'm just saying that you're cutting off a source of revenue when you pit yourself against parents with kids, who, at 10am on a Friday are probably your best customers because they're the ones hanging out in cafes and not in an office.

Outlook 2016: Multi-Asset
After years of liquidity-driven markets, investment trends look tired and we expect muted returns in 2016. Cyclical assets present the main source of potential 'pent up returns' and could be a wild card for investors.
Many 2015 themes remain in place
Looking into 2016, we thought about 'cutting and pasting' from our 2015 outlook when we said:
- The US continues to lead the recovery but growth momentum elsewhere is weak. As such, we favour assets that can cope with subdued levels of growth.
- Equities performance is likely to remain narrow; we prefer those areas of the market where corporate earnings trends are most well-established.
- The outlook appears tough for commodities although there could be opportunities after recent steep price falls.
Certainly economic data would suggest more of the same; measures of manufacturing activity remain subdued and global GDP growth remains stuck around 2.5% with the US being the main bright spot. We remain focused on developed economy growth and have avoided cyclical assets.
This has been the right call but the challenge we now face is that quantitative easing has inflated the prices of the assets we have liked and the trends look tired. Accordingly we have reduced the risk in our portfolios compared to previous years.
Economically-sensitive assets have fallen in value
What would enable us to refresh our portfolios and position for stronger returns? Certainly assets exposed to the more cyclical areas have fallen significantly in value; emerging market equities are down 15%, commodities are down 26%, US energy stocks are down 24% and local emerging market debt has fallen by 15% this year (Schroders, DataStream, 31 Dec 2014 to 22 Dec 2015).
This could be a potential source of 'pent up returns' and we see two potential catalysts:
Firstly – the economic 'pie' may grow more quickly than is currently expected. Here we would expect surprises to come from US and European consumption given the fall in the oil price.
Secondly, the economic 'pie' may be sliced differently depending on currency movements. In recent years, the Europeans and the Japanese have been the winners of the currency wars. With the Federal Reserve now starting to raise rates it looks like this trend could continue as higher US rates could support further strength in the US dollar.
However, we do see a scenario where the US dollar could weaken, particularly if European inflation picks up and the Japanese choose to desist from further quantitative easing for political reasons.
In summary, it is too late to add to the beneficiaries of quantitative easing and a bit early to add to the cyclically sensitive assets. Patience is a virtue.

French stereography supervisor and director of photography Alain Derobe died Sunday, March 11. He was 76.
A 3D expert, Derobe had just finished supervising the live 3D shooting of feature film "Asterix and Obelix: On Her Majesty's Secret Service," directed by Laurent Tirard. Before that he was as stereographer on Wim Wenders' Oscar-nommed documentary "Pina," overseeing 3D shooting and grading for the pic, which received the Special Jury Prize from the International 3D Society of Los Angeles.
Derobe was a feature film and commercial director of photography from 1966-90. He began specializing in 3D in 1992 and was also a specialist in aerial cinematography.
Derobe was also a longtime technical consultant in large formats for the Futuroscope Theme Parc, and he participated in the manufacturing of various multi-camera systems, including Circorama 360°.
He was the inventor of a 3D technique and philosophy called the Natural Depth Method, which excludes all types of automatic and semi-automatic adjustments. "The key to quality 3D depends above all on the will to use a new form of language as well as a coherent approach to this newly conquered depth; one must not be subjected to 3D but build with it," Derobe once said.
After studying chemistry and later architecture, his passion for visual phenomenon led him to the Ecole Louis Lumière and IDHEC (now La Femis) cinema schools, to which he returned later as a professor.
He was a co-founding member of AFC (French Assn. of Cinematographers), a member of the CST (French Image and Sound Technical Committee) and the co-founder and first president of the UP3D (Union of 3D Professionals).
Survivors include his daughter Josephine, also a stereographer.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Bret Bielema is uncomfortable with this routine.
After all, he was part of programs that spent December preparing for bowl games for 11 straight seasons from 2001-11. That streak was snapped last year because Bielema left Wisconsin – which reached the Rose Bowl – to take the Arkansas job. But it wasn't supposed to continue during his first season with the Razorbacks.
"It is what it is," Bielema said when asked how he felt as the college bowl bonanza was about to begin without the Razorbacks. "I don't want to get wrapped up in it."
The frustrations and disappointments that came with Arkansas' 3-9 season haven't dampened Bielema's optimism, though. He's confident the Razorbacks bowl drought won't last long as he works to build Arkansas into a championship-caliber program.
Bielema — who spent much of December recruiting and preparing for next season — sat down with the Arkansas News Bureau last week to look back at the lessons learned in 2013, his staff's work on the road the past few weeks, and what he expects throughout the offseason as the Razorbacks plan for 2014. Below are some highlights of the 20-minute interview:
Q: You've spent a good deal of time on the road recruiting. What has the reception been like since you're coming off of a 3-9 season?
A: "I think it's been one of the greatest things I've been able to witness. It just reaffirms, in my mind, if you treat people the right way, handle your players the right way, coaches are going to want to give you players. They're going to want to give you players because they know you're going to treat them right. They know you're going to have success. A lot of times coaches can see what's coming a lot easier than players, so I think they'll know what we're going to be. They know we're going to win games. It's been unbelievable to have a kid that's got teams that are undefeated or one loss, two losses that are visiting us and we're in their top two or their top three. And a lot of it, behind a lot of it is a coach or someone in that decision circle that knows what we're all about – where we're going and what we're going to be able to accomplish. That helps us a lot."
Q: In the end, you need them to sign. So what needs must be filled in this class?
A: "All of them. All of them. I don't think there's a position on our field where you can say, 'Hey, we're set there. We don't need anybody that can come in and help us.' Whether it be as a starter or a backup, it's really universal."
Q: You can't go back out on the road until Jan. 16. Is it hard to wait that long with signing day coming in early February?
A: "Yeah, but I tell you, we hit it pretty hard. We had a good plan. We knew we weren't playing in the (SEC) championship game so we really started planning weeks in advance. We were able to put together a good plan during that two-week window there that got us around a lot of really good players. Filter out the ones that we wanted to. Now, we got an assessment. I wanted to get somewhere between 15 to 20 (verbal commitments). Right now we're at that 16, 17 range. I wanted to get to that before we started the New Year. That's going to be right about where we're going to be at."
Q: Development is important for your returning players. They started the offseason conditioning program (before Christmas break). What kind of feedback have you gotten from (strength coach) Ben Herbert about their attitude and work?
A: "I've seen Herbs excited quite a few times in my life, but he's like at a whole new level right now. He just sees the way these kids have extended themselves. How excited they are. How engaged they were in the workouts. We've just got to get everybody doing it every day. Can't be one out of three or two out of three. It's got to be three out of three. Hopefully our guys understand that."
Q: What will another offseason in the program do for returning players as they continue to develop?
A: "Well, I think it speaks volumes. All we need is another year to get that much better. We saw the development and the gains out of certain guys and if we have that same type of commitment level, which I know we will, you're going to see that much more gains and produce that much more wins."
Q: Do you think there will be much change for with what you believe will be your team's strengths next year?
A: "I hope so. You're going to get a year of strength, size and power to you. I think offensively, defense, special teams, one of the things you've really got to do is assess what your strengths and weaknesses are. It's going to change from year to year. Last year, center was going to be a point of strength for us. Obviously, it will be very difficult for that to be that way. That doesn't mean that we want to lessen certain plays or anything. It's just … it is what it is. I'm excited because the kids in general just do what we ask them to do. They work very hard and they're extremely competitive and good things happen."
Q: You had some deficiencies on offense, particularly in the passing game. Did you feel there was growth late in the year and what does it mean for next season?
A: "Well, they got better when the quarterback got better. The quarterback got better when he got healthier. The offense grew when they began to understand what the coaches wanted. We literally took a 180-degree change, offense, defense, special teams, from what they had been doing. There just weren't any – especially offensive – there weren't any downhill run plays. There weren't some of the things we really talk about on a daily basis. So kids were essentially learning a new language. You want them to learn it quickly, but on the same account it doesn't always work that way. It is what it is."
Q: What about the defensive side of the ball? What do you need to improve?
A: "I think we need more skill. There's no doubt we need more skill. We need more linebackers that can come in and play on an SEC type level. I think that the attitude was great. The intensity. Their preparation was good. But they just need to have better skill."
Q: What did you learn going through this for the first time at Arkansas?
A: "I think two-fold: I think I learned our players. And once you've learned your players, everything else tends to make a little more sense. You learn your players' strengths and weaknesses, how they approach a game, how they handle a game. Reactions. Do they flinch during a moment of adversity? Or do they strike? Those things are invaluable to being able to get the right answers. Can this kid be a tough kid that stands up in the moment of truth or is he a kid that's going to back down? That's going to help you overall in so many ways.
Q: So how will you remember your first season at Arkansas?
A: "Well, you'll always remember your first rodeo. You're going to remember the ups and the downs. You're going to remember the coaches. You're going to remember the moments of adversity. You're going to remember the positive responses from a number of guys and what they did to have a positive result. But on the same account, you'll remember some of those negatives. Some of the negative Nellies that stand in your head. I think that's just part of any memory. I remember it all. Some of it a little more clear than others. It definitely is part of your history."
Q: So how much motivation — not that there wasn't any to start with — is there throughout the program after going 3-9?
A: "Well, I think the longer you go without the more you're going to want it. I am excited just because I think as a head coach that went through a 3-9 season, the part that you have to strive and kind of get across to them is how you've got to get past that hump. Losing is not acceptable. So different things we do in the training room, different things we do every day to establish a winner, to understand that you need to push yourself through the adversity. It's a building process that, hopefully, will be easy to see in the fall."
Q: Auburn and Missouri struggled in 2012. The situations differ, but both played for the SEC Championship this year and the Tigers are in the national title game. What kind of impact does that have on your program as you look ahead?
A: "Huge. Huge. It's something we talked about as a team. Saw two teams play in the SEC championship game that had (two wins) combined in the SEC (in 2012). To look where they were and then obviously to see Auburn play in a national championship game and realize they didn't win any, it doesn't take a rocket scientist very long to figure out that everything is possible."

Push service mails are not sent
Although the push service was configured, the FRITZ!Box does not send any emails with connection and usage data. One of the following error messages is displayed in the event log of the FRITZ!Box:
- "Email delivery failed: SMTP server reports [...]"
- "Email delivery failed: TCP error"
- "Sending of an email message failed. Reason: authentication error"
- "Sending of an email message failed. Reason: TCP error."
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Adjusting the email account settings
Many providers use special security mechanisms to protect their email accounts that prevent push service mails from being sent:
Adjusting your Google account settings
- If you enabled the 2-step verification method for your Google account, generate anapp password for the FRITZ!Box and use it when setting up the email account.
- If you use the traditional verification method, enable access for less secure app in your Google account.
Adjusting your Microsoft account settings
- If you enabled verification in two steps for your Microsoft account, set a new app password for the FRITZ!Box and configure this as the password for the push service.
Adjusting your Apple account settings
- If you enabled the two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, set an app-specific password for the FRITZ!Box and configure this as the password for the push service.
2 Enabling email sending in your email account
Some providers require you by default to use webmail instead of allowing you to use email clients to send email:
- Enabling use of external email client in your email account
Note:With some providers, you can enable this in the settings for POP3/IMAP access.
3 Correcting email account information in the FRITZ!Box
This error is often caused by incorrect email account information, for example an incorrect password. Therefore, enter this information again:
- Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Push Service" in the "System" menu.
- Click the "Configure Push Service" link. If the link is not shown, click on the "Sender" tab.
- Enter your email address and the password.
- Click "Account Information - Additional Settings".
Note:In most cases, the FRITZ!Box fills in the following information automatically. With smaller local providers, you have to enter it yourself. Refer to your email provider for the required information.
- Enter your user name and the name of your email provider's SMTP server.
- If the server cannot be reached over port 25, enter the port used by the server to communicate in the "Port" field, for example 587.
- If the server supports SSL, enable the option "This server supports a secure connection (SSL)".
- Enable the option "Test email sending after adopting the settings". If the option is not available, the test email will be sent automatically.
- Click "Apply" or "Next" and follow the wizard's instructions.
- Now the FRITZ!Box sends a test email to your email account.
4 Contacting your provider
If the test email was not sent, then your account information is incorrect or there is a problem with your provider:
- Contact your email provider.

One of the most brilliant things I've seen.
i only have one question: will rick owens carry this kind of sizes?
I was wondering the same, and after this season will he continue to do so, or is this just a gimmick to get people talking.
The choreography. I am in love.
Step Teams, not Dancers….
This show looks absolutely glorious. I cheered with glee when I saw the photos. I can't imagine what it must have been like to attend!
Fashion shows have become so stale. Please let this be the future!
Wow. I watched the Rick Owens show, and I have to say your images captured it the best I have seen. But no commentary?
Wow! Great show! Cool shots!
I love Rick Owens' outside-the-box thinking! Incorporating performance and using nontraditional runway models proved effective and memorable! These photos capture the energy of the show so well!
Oh my God! Just my kind of shows! The dance moves look fierce!!
Xoxo! Cory
Brilliant work from Owens and the women who made it transcendental.
That's just too cool. Imagine the stomps echoing. Intense in the front row.
Very nice pic. Great daz.
That must have been spectacular live! "rejecting conventional beauty, creating our own!" I would have loved to feel the beauty and power of those woman!
Why not?
Why not, indeed !
They look like crazy nurses!! ;-)
Hahaha that made me laugh.
crazy show
Definitely contrasting.
Amazing. Right in the face of every other show.
Thanks for sharing the show!
That's what I call a fabulous show!! What a change from the regular shows with all these skinny bored-looking models!! Bravo Mr. Owens!!
Love it!
Enough of twiggy, ethereal women! Let's be strong, powerful and full of energy…at least on Friday's! ;)
I suppose is a kind of fashion joke
not at all, you've clearly missed the point.
yes.. :D
What – normal-size models, doing energetic/exuberant things? Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Ok, sure, but where are the clothes? These women are wearing trash bags and hospital gowns.
Cool designs and cool performance!
Kisses from
l ho vista questa sfilata , davvero molto particolare e sopra dalle righe rispetto le solite
Paper exam gowns as fashion?
the first image is seriously amazing! (then again, all of your images are) but this one is very cool! great photos of a great show!
What kind of freak show is going on here?
freak show???
Stepping is part of a long & proud tradition in many historically African-American fraternities and sororities. You just called it a "freak show." You may wish to do some serious thinking about that.
whatever here is not about the black's women tradition, it's about fashion, and i dont think this kind of "thing" is situable for the androgynous product rick's industry sell…
Yeah, physical women! Beautiful! (just coming home from all female TaeBo class, I can definitely feel them women)
Wow!! This is awesome and so different from the shows we're used to see. Awesome!
I can imagine some of these outfits doing quite well on the street in my urban, gritty, neighborhood.
It's also interesting to see how the pieces move while being worn doing something other than a runway strut.
What a nice change.
What a cool show! One of a kind!
Wrap yorself in a sheet and dance about- absolutely ridiculous
……and humiliating.
Why is it ridiculous or humiliating?! Step is a huge part of black sorority and fraternity culture. Highlighting something so uniquely American at a European show is pretty incredible.
I'm not put off by the size, color or shape. As many other people have commented, how refreshing. It's the clothes.
Why is this embarrassing? It is a designer's vision, his own way of creating a spectacle and mood for a presentation. It speaks volumes about the collection; the strength of women, teamwork, attitude and personality, precision the list goes on. what we all need to understand is that no matter how banal or distasteful we may initially find a show it is the designer's vision and that is to be respected.
Absolutely ridiculous would be your comment.
I loved it!
It touched me and inspired me.
The idea is brilliant – and now i do want a few outfits pronto.
I don't know why the show moved me so much: the powerful message these women sent, the clothes which in some cases looked amazing (want!) and in same cases looked awful but made a statement, the music coming from the stomping ladies, the outraged looks on some ladies in the front row, the amused look of others, who even started stomping a bit…
(But I want to know: what does the sartorialist think?
It's too easy to let your (great) pics do the talking. I'm curious to know the opinion of someone who was there live, and that knows a bit or two about fashion more than myself!)
I love it, the energy, the power. Would have loved to see that show. It makes you realize how boring the eternal seriouslooking, too skinny girls on too high heels really are.
great show
There are lots of things to celebrate about this, but I can't say the clothes are among them.
what a great idea! these pieces are so strong that a performance totally works!
Those faces!! Cool!
Inventive, dynamic and provocative! It just made me love Rick Owens even more. In comparison, Hedi Slimane's attempt to change YSL seemed uncreative and craven, though in his defense, I must say it was hard for a comeback kid who's not designing for his own eponymous label.
I just watched the show. It brought me down to earth….. Brilliant.
Amazing. This made me all weepy. Using women with different body types (such as these gorgeous and powerful average sized women) and different ethnic backgrounds should be the norm in fashion shows. It makes things much more interesting and beautiful. I loved Rick Owens already and love him so much more for this!!!
So unexpected and truly amazing. Great to see the creativity of new ideas.
Beautiful. Very powerful and refreshingly original.
rick owens seems to always put on an off-kilter performance. I remember seeing some shots of Mr. Schumann's where a metal band played as the models walked. That was very cool, and I can't wait to find the video of this one on YouTube or something!
I just watched the video for this show via the Huffington Post and I don't really have words to describe how amazing it was to see this!!!
I loved the women, dance, movement, fierceness — but I'm not "getting" the fashion. This is a fashion show. The black outfits — yes, they do look like something one would wear … but nothing exceptional. The white and beige outfits, I don't get.
Why not execute this brilliant concept with more brilliant clothes? If this is referencing African heritage, it may be in the women and the movement, but it's certainly not in the fashion. Okay, what am I missing?
I know there's a statement being made with the clothes, but I'm not getting it.
it made me weepy, too. so often designers are 'inspired by' certain cultures, but the influencers are usually nowhere to be found. i don't know if the clothes were inspired by steppers, but he was inspired by them on some level and he invited them to participate. i think it was a beautiful show mean mugging grit faces and all.
I don't understand, what is this? And intro and then the models come out with his clothes. Clearly these are women of all different shapes, sizes, and race, and having them on stage at a fashion show is great, however, why are they not wearing his clothes then. I don't understand the point.
Fantastic show, even though I didn't like the clothes and could never see myself wearing them I love the alternative attitude, fashion takes itself too seriously
Different !
After seeing the video I am even more amazed and touched.
And for the clothes: sure, this is not a fancy collection, some pieces are not flattering but women dont need to be flattered, dont need to spiff up (doesnt mean that couldnt or shouldnt). And imagining one of these passing me by on the street dressed like this, I mean an "average" woman, I'd definitely turn my head and find it bold and uplifting and down-to-earth. Dollism isnt sexy, power and strength is!
Wow, real people! So refreshing :-)
Liked the show so much!
those clothes can move – got to see the video
These are the best photos I have seen from the show! Amazing job capturing the essence of the show!!!
I love this. Reminds me of Malcolm McLaren's Double Dutch. Fabulous strong legs
Unfortunately, this is the first fashion show in a long time that's not just bored and stale and blah. I wish there was more unconventional creativity on display. It's so much more interesting when a point is being made.
Excuse my language, but about 'effin time! Of course the 'sheets' would probably look fabulous on a lithe woman, but he took a chance. A very American trait. Which is why I love living in this country.
Keep in mind that the women wearing the "Sheets" during the presentation were moving a lot and it's quite possible that they way they were worn wasn't a correct representation of how the clothing would appear of women walking in the street. I do applaud him for dressing "normal" women for a change.
Here is an article and riveting video of the Rick Owens show:
Best presentation of the seasons… Hats off to Rick Owens!
This is the first time I've seen a version of me in a fashion show and it felt sooooo good.
Rick Owens is a bad ass! Who would have thought this would work? But it does. Innovative, refreshing, inspiring. And those clothes can move, baby!!!
brave, subversive…
the perfect combination of beauty… with fashion

From Twitter:@Thiago_DAlmeida estavam gravando o the amazing race hj lá no hotel ... mto legal , gosto dessa serie.14 hours ago via webTranslation: People were filming The Amazing Race today in an hotel...very cool, i like that showHe's from RIO, and according with the timing, this means that he saw the teams at 12:00 am Brazilian Time (-3 GMT)Here's his twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/Thiago_DAlmeida
Thiago twitted me back:@d0cc0l sim sim ... o pessoal tava gravando aqui sim ... estavam hospedados lá em copacabana18 minutes ago via webTranslation: Yes, yes...the producers were filming here, they were staying (in an hotel i guess) in Copacabana (A RIO de janeiro neighbor)Then i asked him the name of the hotel, or any details that he can give me....he says:@d0cc0l cara ... só sei que teve uma prova sobre samba , e o pit stop foi em niteroi8 minutes ago via webTrasnslation: I only know that they had a task about "Samba" (Brazil's National Dance Style) and that the PIT STOP was in the city of NITEROI
Okay, so I'm extremelly new here, but I find the work you guys do amazing. From the same twitter source above, someone asked weather or not he had seen a team of black women. He replies:@leonamoliveira cara , eu me lembro de dois negros muito altos só ... essas duas negras eu não me recordo não@leonamoliveira dude, I remember two really tall black guys, but I don't recall these black womenAnyway, I'm thinking Flight Time & Big Easy?
I want to see Mallory do waxing.
Are Zev & Justin waxed when they're at the beach? That *should* help with timing?
Thanks, VG! Spoilers had FT/BE spotted in the Copacabana area and since it is a ways from the main part of Rio I would expect to see the other detour option around there as well.
The pitstop is in Niteroi. Anyway I meant that if the beach detour option is in Copacabana area, then the other one should be as well. They are not usually very far apart. I wonder if they will do something that involves surfing or beach soccer.

HAW RIVER � The juvenile airlifted to UNC Hospitals by Life Flight helicopter after a Wednesday wreck on North Church Street in Haw River is in stable condition Thursday, police said. Two others involved in the accident are also in stable condition.
At about 4 p.m. Wednesday, the Haw River Fire Department and Alamance County Rescue Unit used the Jaws of Life to remove a passenger from a maroon 1995 Honda Accord in the westbound lanes of Church Street in front of Auto Zone.
A red 1998 Ford Explorer was also involved in the accident that stretched from Hollar Street to the Auto Zone in front of The Village Market Place. The SUV�s driver, Joel Gomez, 35, of Graham, received injuries that were not life-threatening, according to police.
The driver of the Accord, Isaiah Graves, 16, of Burlington, had been sitting on the side of the curb when Alamance County EMS arrived, according to Chuck Mancillas, director of the county EMS.
Police did not release the name of the injured passenger Thursday, since he is a juvenile.
Graves and Gomez had been transported to Alamance Regional Medical Center by ambulance Wednesday, and police said Thursday their statuses remained stable.
According to witnesses, the maroon Honda Accord and a second white Honda not at the scene had been changing lanes at fast speeds along Church Street prior to the accident between the maroon Honda Accord and the Ford Explorer.
Haw River Police are still investigating the accident. Check back for more information.

I am a front-end developer. For many experiements I do I need to have a server that talks JSON with my client side app. Normally that server is a simple server that response to my POSTs and GETs. For example I need to setup a server that saves, modifies and read data from a "library" database like this:
POST /bookscreate a book
GET /book/:idgets a book
and so on...
What is the fastest to set up and easiest technology stack for database and server in this case? I am open to use Ruby, Nodejs and anything that do the job fast and easy.
Is there any framework (on any language) that do stuff like this for me?

Over 10,000 Barcode Products In Stock
This might be old technology, but many companies still rely on it, and we're experts in integrating modern barcode technology with these systems.
There are numerous ways to print barcodes from your AS400, either with software or hardware. The best solution depends on your particular application.
Software packages such as TL Ashford's Barcode400 provide native iSeries labeling software that allows you to design barcode labels directly from your AS400. These packages are ideal for companies who have multiple users who need to design and print different barcode labels from their AS400 data.
AS400 print servers (hardware or software) allow your PC printer (barcode, laser or dot matrix) to connect to your AS400 via Twinax or Ethernet. These can give your users not only barcoding capabilities but also allow you to convert these printers to standard AS400 printers. There are specialized AS400 print servers that will natively support the barcode printer languages or ones that will support IPDS (Intelligent Printer Data Stream).View Barcode Software
Attaching a barcode scanner to any PC or terminal connected to the AS400 will allow you to directly input barcoded information into your AS400. The scanner acts like a keyboard, reading anything scanned into the field where your cursor is. Most scanners come with either a PS2 or USB connection to your keyboard, but specialty cable connections are available that support older-style twinax terminals. You can also program preambles and postambles (keystrokes before or after each barcode read).View Barcode Scanners
Portable data terminals allow workers to become mobile, moving their computing and data-collection needs to where the work is, instead of being toied to a desktop PC.
Batch portable data terminals are designed to scan data in to later be downloaded to your AS400 database. Wireless portable data terminals, on the other hand, will update your AS400 database as soon as the data is scanned in.
Some things to consider when you are making the decision to use either batch or wireless units are:
There are multiple emulation software packages to use in conjunction with your portable data terminals to access, manage and maintain your connection to applications resident on your host AS400. All of these software packages can be customized for your specific needs. Call to discuss your application and let us help you determine which solution is right for you.View Mobile Computers
Most users on an AS400 today have a combination of AS400 and network applications. Traditionally, the System 34/36/38 and AS400 were cabled with the use of Twinax cable, while networks were cabled with unshielded twisted pair cable. Let us show you how to combine your AS400 and network cables and eliminate the use of Twinax in your office.
Twinax cable is the cable that the AS400 and System 36 originally used to connect terminals and printers. The 5250 protocol originally specified the use of Twinax cable to communicate with peripherals.
Twinax cable connects each of the AS400 devices in a "daisy-chain" configuration. Each device is connected to the device before it like a chain. Up to 7 devices per controller port are connected in series.
For those still using Twinax cable, we carry Twinax cable and Twinax accessories in stock, including:
The alternative to installing Twinax cable is to use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Unshielded twisted pair is already being used by most customers in their LAN applications, it is readily available, inexpensive and easy to install.
Star hubs and Twinax to RJ11/RJ45 baluns are used when migrating your current Twinax infrastructure to twisted pair. The maximum distance to each device will be much shorter than Twinax unless a star hub is used.
Devices should be connected in a star topology. Each device is on a dedicated cable, offering complete isolation from other devices.
A powered star hub (also known as a power panel) is recommended between the AS400 and the devices. This hub conditions the signal for optimum performance and reliability and greatly increases the distance to each device (2500 to 3000 feet, depending on the brand). Star hubs also provide individual LED port diagnostics to assist in problem isolation. Star hubs come with either one Twinax or RJ11/RJ45 input port to every seven RJ11/RJ45 port outputs.
For more information on migrating from Twinax to Ethernet, call one of our cabling professionals.
A thin client is a computer (client) which has little or no application logic, it depends primarily on the central Terminal Server for processing activities. Thin clients are an excellent alternative to terminals and PCs. They provide an excellent migration path from green screen terminals to Windows and web-based environments.
Thin clients significantly reduce IT expenses, while providing the same level of productivity and flexibility as PCs. In general, they are more secure and less expensive than PCs.
In basic thin clients, all application processing occurs on the server. There is no local processing and limited peripheral options. These are ideal for task-based or transaction-based users, and are often used as green screen replacements.
Browser terminals (also referred to as robust thin clients) give you all the functionality of the basic thin client and add a local Window-like shell and browser software. This gives your user access to web based and terminal services hosted applications. Browser terminals are ideal for task based or transaction based users who need access to the web or web applications.
LOB terminals (also referred to as flexible terminals) give you all the functionality of browser terminals and also enable local execution of limited applications (Xpe). These terminals give you the most PC-like flexibility, including options such as multiple USB ports, CD-Rom drives, PCI slots and internal expansion slots. Because of the added options and the ability to run some local applications, LOBs are the least secure of the thin clients.
For Twinax users who know they will soon be migrating to to ethernet topology, a Twinax/ethernet hybrid terminal is the ideal solution. A thin Twinax terminal gives you Twinax capabilities, and migrates you to a thin client terminal as soon as you are ready to make the move.
Using the latest in Wi-Fi technology, wireless tablets are portable Windows-based thin clients which provide access to web-enabled applications, Windows Terminal Services, Citrix Servers, IBM Midrange and Mainframe computers and UNIX/Linux hosts. Wireless tablets provide mobile connectivity ideal for many environments, including healthcare, manufacturing, distribution and warehousing.
System ID offers a full line of internet clients suitable for your business environment. Call one of our thin client experts to discuss your application needs.

Free-agent wide receiver Jacoby Jones is currently visiting the Baltimore Ravens, according to a team source.
Jones, who was released by the Houston Texans last week, arrived in Baltimore on Sunday. Earlier last week he visited with the Carolina Panthers.
Jones' visit with the Ravens comes four days after the team's director of player personnel, Eric DeCosta, said that the team was "happy with the receivers we have on the roster."
Jones caught 31 passes for 512 yards last season in his fifth year with the Texans.
He drew the wrath of Texans fans last year after he muffed a punt against the Ravens in an AFC divisional playoff game that Houston lost.

Think about why you're setting the homework
Buckinghamshire physics teacher Mike Metcalfe says, "I think that a lot of homework is set with no particular purpose in mind other than to generate a mark and that usually means teacher marking. It's worth asking the question - what is the purpose of homework? I imagine that most enlightened SLT/SMTs would like teachers to spend time planning, and would be dismayed if the marking load was getting in the way."
Mike suggests not every piece of homework should generate a marking load: "Homework can be used to reinforce/extend ideas discussed in a lesson, to assess understanding, to carry out research, to carry out activities, to revise. Some of these activities just require a check that pupils engaged with the task."
Sometimes you do need to set homework to generate a mark, for example, before a parents' evening when you are still unfamiliar with a particular class.
But if that is your aim, is it worth you putting in lots of hours of marking? Self and peer-marking are excellent ways to get your marking done whilst ensuring your students engage with the assessment process!

2012 security software updates
Just as the automakers announce their new offerings every fall, so do the major security software publishers. In recent days, I have seen announcements and promotions for the 2012 offerings from Kaspersky, AVG, Panda, and TrendMicro. 2012 editions from McAfee and Norton may be available by the time that you read this. With each new model year, just like the automakers, the computer security software companies typically offer more features and improved performance.
The feisty European company AVG, best known for its enormously popular free antivirus software, has released 2012 versions of its free product, AVG Anti-Virus FREE 2012, as well as its commercial products, AVG Anti-Virus 2012, AVG Internet Security 2012 and AVG Premium Security 2012. The free version of AVG Anti-virus 2012 is the latest iteration of its antivirus utility used by tens of millions of users worldwide. The free AVG is unusual among free security software in that it also provides free 24/7 technical support. The only significant differences between the "free" antivirus and the commercial AVG Anti-Virus 2012 (besides the price) is that the commercial product offers scanned downloads and priority technical support.
The AVG Internet Security 2012 offers comprehensive protection from the threats most likely encountered on the Internet, including protection from viruses and spyware. Some interesting features of this edition are "AVG Accelerator," which maximizes the speed of the Internet connection, delivering improved online performance. AVG System Tools is a PC monitor that allows the user to easily control the Windows start-up and auto-run functions, which can greatly improve boot time and operating speed by preventing unnecessary processes and programs from loading at boot. The integrated System Monitor shows which processes are running at any given time, allowing the user to control what is currently running, which may provide enhanced performance as well as security benefits. One of the most important security features, often overlooked by users with more basic protection, is a firewall, and this software incorporates the AVG Enhanced Firewall. This firewall intelligently monitors the online connection from malicious attack and intrusions and blocks unauthorized access from the outside to the computer, as well as blocks any unauthorized information (such as private information and files) from being sent (outbound) from your computer to cyber thieves. The AVG Enhanced Firewall protects and secures both wired and wireless home networks.
Identity theft is a problem of endemic proportions, and the AVG Identity Protection feature provides extensive online protection from identity theft by monitoring the computer for anything that may potentially be an identity threat, and neutralizes the threat before any private information is sent to identity thieves.
While the traditional function of computer security software has been to protect against viruses, the AVG Internet Security 2012 does that and much more. While computer viruses still exist, they are greatly overshadowed by the more common (and dangerous) spyware and other malware products. AVG offers a multi-layered defense against all of these types of threats, starting with its well respected and highly rated antivirus engine. This first layer of protection uses the traditional detection method of matching files and other data to a frequently updated database of known threat signatures. A second level of protection is provided by the anti-spyware function, which protects the computer from spyware and adware that can track and disseminate the users' personal information. Another level of protection is provided by AVG Resident Shield, which rapidly scans any files for threats as they are copied, saved, or opened, which will prevent the user from inadvertently opening an infected file. Much has been said in the media about "cloud technology" where many computers are connected to a distant server for the rapid propagation of data and other information; AVG Protective Cloud Technology identifies new threats "in the cloud," and protects the computer from infection or attack from emerging threats, in effect providing very rapid updates to the AVG software. This cloud feature works in conjunction with the AVG Community Protection Network, which collects information about the latest threats encountered by its users (but only with the users' expressed consent!), helping AVG to indentify and quantify new threats as they first appear. This community based level of protection allows AVG engineers to quickly develop methods for detection and elimination of new threats as they appear, which benefits not just the AVG community members, but all AVG users.
One of the major advantages of this new crop of 2012 security software is enhanced performance, regardless of what applications are being run on the computer. AVG Internet Security 2012 allows the user to game or surf without interruptions, as the automated security scans only take place when the PC is not in use. If the user is a gamer and currently gaming, the AVG security software quietly provides the appropriate level of security in the background so as not to interfere or otherwise hinder the gaming. Another performance improvement is provided by AVG Smart Scanning which intelligently varies the scanning priorities based on the utilization of the PC. When the PC is idle for prolonged periods of time, AVG performs its background comprehensive security scanning in a high-priority mode which uses all available processing power in order to quickly perform a scan; if the PC is being used (instantly detected by mouse movement or a keystroke), the scan is performed as a low-priority process only using computer power not being utilized by other applications, thus not degrading performance. Another feature of Smart Scanning is that it ignores rescanning unaltered files that had been previously scanned and determined as safe, greatly increasing the speed and reducing the time of subsequent scans.
AVG offers the user the selection of services at a variety of prices ranging from free for the basic AVG Anti-Virus FREE 2012, to $39.99 for AVG Anti-Virus 2012, to $54.99 for the AVG Internet Security 2012, to the top-of-the-line AVG Premium Security 2012 for $69.99 (all prices are for annual subscriptions). The big box, office supply, warehouse, and electronics stores, both brick and mortar and online, often have the commercial security products at discounted prices, sometimes with high value rebates approaching "free after rebate." It is up to the user to personally determine the level of protection and related services desired, as well as the price that he is willing to pay, but my personal choice and recommendation is to get the maximum amount of protection. AVG is fully capable of meeting these needs.

Elisha Hinman was born in Stonington, Connecticut, on March 9, 1734, the son of a merchant marine captain. He followed into his father's service at an early age and at the age of 19 commanded his own brig in the West Indies trade. In 1776, Elisha Hinman was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Continental Navy and assigned to the brig 'Cabot' under Captain John B Hopkins. In this capacity he accompained the New Providence expedition of Commodore Esek Hopkins and was present during the embarrasing encounter with HMS "Glasgow" on April 6, 1776. He nonetheless acquitted himself well and assumed command of the 'Cabot' the following August. On October 10, 1776, Elisha Hinman received promotion to Captain, being 20th on the Seniority list, and succeeded John Paul Jones as Commander of the 'Alfred', a converted merchantman and one of the nations earliest warships.
In 1779 a new frigate was commissioned on the Connecticut River, but was to heavy to cross the bar into Long Island Sound. Elisha Hinman figured out a way to get the 'Trumbull' out.
In 1781 he was captain of the "Marquis de LaFayette", a brig which he sailed as a privateer for owner Thomas Mumford, who was possibly an in-law.

On Sunday, I will be here:
I'm pretty excited to be making this trip! The closest IKEA is 4 and a half hours away from me, but I decided to go to a concert there and since I was going to be there anyway, why not stop at IKEA?
I don't know if I can contain the excitement.
There are so many things I love.
I can't wait to go!
My camera is at the ready. Let's do this!

Rocker James Kottak has been jailed in Dubai for insulting Islam.
According to The National newspaper, the Scorpions drummer will spend a month behind bars in the United Arab Emirates after he was convicted on Tuesday morning.
Kottak was arrested after reportedly raising his middle finger, flashing his backside at passengers and being under the influence of alcohol while in transit at Dubai airport on 3 April.
He was en route from Russia to Bahrain for a Scorpions gig. He failed to make it to the 5 April concert.
According to The Gulf News, Kottak admitted to drinking but denied the other charges.
Police reports suggest the drummer verbally attacked passengers, calling them "non-educated Muslims", before dropping his trousers and flashing his middle finger at them.
In court, the rocker told prosecutors, "I don't remember saying these words and I did not flash my middle finger… There is no way that I would say such a phrase about Muslims, whether I was drunk or not… I confess to drinking alcohol but I refuse the other two charges, I did not do them."
He also denied taking down his trousers, adding, "This is not true. I just lifted my shirt up to show the tattoo on my back."
In addition to his jail sentence, Kottak was fined 2,000 dirhams ($545) for drinking alcohol without a license.
He has been in custody since his arrest and this time will be deducted from his sentence.
Kottak has been a member of the Scorpions since 1996.
