D-Bus 1.0 "Blue Bird" Released
D-Bus 1.0 ("Blue Bird"), the Freedesktop.org inter-process messaging system has just been released. A collaborative effort between industry and open source developers, D-Bus was created to allow arbitrary applications to easily communicate with each other and exchange data. An additional system daemon allows for communication with system services. D-Bus is known to work on all Unix platforms and has also been ported to Mac OS X, while a Windows port is in progress. This makes D-Bus the ideal messaging system for KDE 4.
This first D-Bus major-release will maintain backwards protocol compatibility throughout its entire lifecycle and, just like KDE, its library will maintain API and ABI compatibility until the next major release. The low level library is toolkit agnostic and only depends on an external XML library but many bindings to higher-level toolkits are available, such as Java, glib and Python.
While KDE 3 already uses D-Bus to talk to HAL and Avahi, in KDE 4, D-Bus has completely replaced DCOP as the IPC System of choice for KDE. Its use is also growing, with Kopete recently announcing the initial support for Telepathy/Tapioca, via D-Bus, and the accessibility developers studying using it too.
"I really consider this release as a major milestone for KDE 4, since we're now using it everywhere", says Solid developer Kévin Ottens. "Having strong guarantee about compatibility is really important for an IPC system like this, and that's exactly what D-Bus 1.0 offers us". D-Bus serves as infrastructure for Solid to communicate with system services.
D-Bus simply rocks. The Qt bindings are really much easier and cleaner than the old KDCOP interface.
I still remember the time when I was working on Solid and compiling Qt bindings directly from D-Bus CVS was a pain ;)

Qt3 bindings
They are still at some 0.6x version right?
By cartman at Sun, 2006/11/12 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
Kevin (not Kévin) can probably answer better, but I don't think they've seen much work in recent times. They should still be working for the stuff you may need to do with KDE3 code.
By Thiago Macieira at Mon, 2006/11/13 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
I haven't had time to keep them up to date with D-Bus changes. Since the 1.0 release keeps the API stable, I am planning to get the bindings backport compatible again.
However, I haven't yet decided what to do about the issue of more complex datatypes, since the Qt4 bindings code can't be easily backported as its QVariant is way more powerful than Qt3's
My personal goal is to be able to use the Qt3 bindings for implementing any D-Bus interface we might come up with as part of the Portland DAPI efforts.
Any help welcome :)

Re: Qt3 bindings
Anyway to get dbus 0.9x working with qt3 instead of having to have a seperate dbus-qt3-0.62 package? Some patch perhaps?
By ht at Tue, 2006/11/14 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
My system's D-Bus version is 0.94 and the my bindings in SVN seem to work (i.e. compile and the simple example-client works)
I'll have to check more thoroughly later today
By Kevin Krammer at Wed, 2006/11/15 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
Well, mine don't. That is: stuff compiles, but things like notifications of plugging in a USB stick don't. :-(
By Andre at Thu, 2006/11/16 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
Could you send me the code you are using?
I am not sure I did any testing with D-Bus signals yet, but I think they should work.
By Kevin Krammer at Thu, 2006/11/16 - 6:00am
Re: Qt3 bindings
Have you tried the QT3-bindings from here: http://ranger.befunk.com/fink/
I had the same issues with the "official" QT3-bindings. Using the above sources with DBus 1.0/HAL 0.5.7 and KDE 3.5.5 seem to work fine here...

We are all resigned to the fact that death comes to us all in the end. What is far less certain is how we will go.
But thanks to the wonder of statistics we can look at the globe in a different way, pinpointing which countries are hotspots for a particular illness, accident or incident. Some are probably predictable, some will surprise you… and just to show that we are not totally morbid, we've included an "old age" marker to show which country you are likely to live the longest.
And just a word of note on how to read the map. It does not show what you are most likely to die from in each country of the world - that map would be dominated by cancer, heart disease and car accidents. Instead, it shows you the country with the highest proportion of deaths per million people for a specific type of accident, illness or other cause. So, for shark attacks, for example, the global hotspot is Australia. Although sharks only account for a small number of total deaths in the country per year, the number, per million head of population, is higher than anywhere else in the world. Similarly, there are more deaths due to road accidents in Namibia, per million people, than any other country in the world.
So, click here for our look at the geography of death, Mexican Day-of-the-Dead style.
And if you want to check out the data we used to construct this map, you can find it here [PDF]. (Most computers will open PDF documents automatically, but you may need Adobe Reader, download the reader here)

Here's a description of the data analysis project I'm working on.
I was so excited to push the button on my hierarchical linear analysis, hoping hoping hoping to see a statistically significant effect of the kind I wanted. And I did!
Here's what I found:
- Per capita GDP, secular-rational values, and survivalist values all predict higher math achievement scores.
- Self-expressive values (at the opposite pole from survivalist) predict lower "returns" to liking math. That is, countries that are higher on self-expressive values show lower slopes for a proposed linear relationship between liking math and math achievement.
That second part was what I was really interested in. I hypothesized that a culture that valued self-expression would provide a worse context for math achievement, especially at higher levels of liking math. Students with higher liking for math would be relatively more disadvantaged by self-expressive values. In the graph below, you can see how lower values on the SURVSELF dimension (representing lower self-expressive values, higher survivalist) result in higher mean math achievement as well as a higher slope for math achievement related to liking math.
So why am I disappointed? The "effect size" — the practical magnitude of the effect — was small, even though it was statistically significant.The slopes just aren't that different at different levels of self-expressive values.
One way of measuring effect size in hierarchical linear models is to report "proportion variance explained" or how much of the variation is accounted for when you add in the predictor of interest.
For finding #2 above, the PVE was just 5%. So self expressive values at the country level don't explain much of the difference of the slopes of math achievement related to liking math. To use the technical term, those are some seriously puny results.
But still, it is a statistically significant effect in my model, and that at least, is a happy thing. I think there is something to what I'm exploring. The models I ran converged quickly, which my prof said is an indication of a highly informative model. GDP didn't explain all the variance in mean math achievement — the two country-level value dimensions were statistically significant and practically significant also. That was a somewhat surprising result because both value dimensions are related to economic transition. That traditionalist vs. secular-rational values and survivalist vs. self-expressive values explain significant variance over and above GDP is important, and worthy of some more study.

Distance Learning reaches record enrollment
Enrollment in Liberty University's Distance Learning Program topped the 25,000 student mark for the first time on Tuesday.
Enrollment figures for the program were confirmed by LU Registrar Lawrence Shackleton in an e-mail to school officials.
Officially, the 25,000th student enrolled at about 9:15 a.m.
School officials announced the enrollment to the student body during the school's Wednesday convocation. DLP staff members were told of the achievement on Tuesday.
"They stood up in their cubicles and applauded," Kennedy said.
The late Dr. Jerry Falwell, Liberty University's founder, several years ago set a goal of having 25,000 students in both the school's resident and distance learning enrollments.
"It's exciting," said Ronald S. Kennedy, executive director of Distance Learning and Graduate Studies. "It has been one of those milestones that have been out there for years."
Two years ago, the Distance Learning Program finished with less than 13,000 students.
"We are hoping to surpass 27,000 students by early June," Kennedy said. "We'll grow from 18,000 last fiscal year to 27,000 this fiscal year."
Kennedy sees God's will in the program's rapid growth.
"I want to give tribute to God's blessing," Kennedy said. "You can't humanly take credit for that. There's got to be God involved in that. It's such an amazing thing."

We are a domain parking company. We specialize in making money from advertisements on parked domain names.
Currently, our parked domain names use a standard template (see attachment Screenshot.jpg) for desktop visitors. We are looking for YOU (the designer), to design something very similar using the same theme for our mobile visitors. This mobile template should use the same color scheme and elements from our desktop version, this way it looks like the same theme.
We can't fit everything in our mobile as we have on our desktop template, so I have attached a screenshot of elements we do need that are circled in red. These 3 elements are:
At least 5 advertisements in similar format
A search box
The mobile template can have these elements in completely different positions, as long as it has them. Picture can be smaller and in a different area. Designer can also optionally try squeezing in the domain name title if space allows.
I am attaching the original PSD. NOTE: The actual / screenshots are modified from PSD, so use screenshots if you are uncertain as that is our final version.
Finally, the design should work well on mobile browsers such as the iPhone, myTouch, and so on. The really bad / small browsers with tiny screens are not important. PS HTML coding NOT required. Design only.

You'd think someone running one of the most sophisticated social media engagements in history would know better than to be super racist on Facebook. Or, you know, at all.
We missed this last time we scanned Sacha Dratwa's Facebook profile — which he's left public through all the scrutiny. But now that Israel and Hamas finally have a cease fire in effect, we took another look. The above image of Dratwa's face smeared with what appears to be mud, uploaded by Dratwa himself, is captioned "Obama Style," a sentiment Obama probably wouldn't appreciate, particularly after funding the Iron Dome system that's helped the IDF protect innocent Israeli citizens.
The photo was uploaded a month ago, and has been removed only within the last couple days.

Sheppard moves to Reading
Following Enda Stevens' move to Aston Villa earlier this month, Shamrock Rovers have lost another of their prized assets in striker Karl Sheppard - who has joined Reading.
The Irish Under-21 international moves to the Madejski after being given the chance to showcase his talents this season in Shamrock Rovers' maiden Europa League campaign.
Brian McDermott liked what he saw and swooped for the former Everton trainee on a free, keeping in mind the successful spells of bargain buys Kevin Doyle and Shane Long, who were similarly plucked from the League of Ireland in Cork City.
The deal will be officially concluded when international clearance is received shortly, and the player has already been given the number 21 jersey at the Berkshire club.
Reading, who beat off competition from other Npower Championship clubs for Sheppard's signature, may have not got their man had Shamrock Rovers not allowed boss Michael O'Neill to take up the Northern Ireland manager's job.
Sheppard said back in December: "If Michael stays, obviously it would be big because I have worked with him and I have enjoyed it."
But with O'Neill and Sheppard going separate ways, the latter, who plays up-front, gets his chance to shine in the competitive second tier in England.News Now - Sport News

Ardea herodias (great blue heron)
Heron track with 6-inch ruler for size comparison. Notice how the three forward toes are not in alignment. This is the left foot. The two outer toes (on the left in the picture) stick out at a slightly offset angle. The two inner toes are in line, as they would be expected to look. This arrangement of the toes may give the heron greater stability when it is walking in the deep mud and water it often hunts in.

Super Rugby
Spencer shown the door by Lions
ESPN Staff
August 3, 2012
Carlos Spencer has been sacked by the Lions © Getty Images
Backs coach Carlos Spencer has been shown the door by the Lions following another dismal Super Rugby campaign.
The Johannesburg-based franchise brought up the rear in this year's competition after a surprise run to the Currie Cup title last season.
Their defence of that crown gets underway against Free State at Ellis Park on August 11, but they will be without Spencer and head coach John Mitchell - who remains suspended after alleged player management issues.
The Lions confirmed Spencer's exit in a statement, along with the news that conditioning coach Wayne Taylor had also been fired.
"The Golden Lions Rugby Union announced this morning that Lions coaches Carlos Spencer (backline coach) and Wayne Taylor (conditioning coach) had their contracts terminated and were given notice of dismissal on Monday, 31 July 2012," the statement read.

Fact is they still lost the match Johnson was dropped.
"I am very happy and it will allow me to have lot more rice."
Eoin Morgan on being given a rice cooker for being Man of the Match in a Dhaka Premier Division game.
If the plan after the first Test really was to just take Johnson out, have him work on his action and his rhythm for a couple of weeks and then bring him back for the third Test no matter what, then I think you do have to give the selectors some credit for it. I think it just sort of worked out that way though. Johnson didn't know he was playing for sure until the morning of the game (so he says anyway) and if Australia had won by an innings in Adelaide and Bollinger had taken ten wickets, I highly doubt Johnson would've played the third.
Equally, I don't believe for a second that "Johnson was always going to be rested at Adelaide." There's no way he was sitting out if he scored a hundred and took five in each innings at Brisbane, for example.
I think it's fairly apparent that the selectors panicked when he didn't bowl well in Brisbane, then panicked again after his replacements didn't fare any better in Adelaide, brought him back for Perth and put the best and biggest spin on it possible to hide the fact that they really had no idea and were changing their minds on a daily basis.

Efforts to discover near-Earth asteroids – including those that are potentially hazardous – received a potential boost Monday with the launch of the Canadian Space Agency's Near Earth Object Surveillance Satellite (NEOSSat).
Housed in a spacecraft the size of a large suitcase, the space telescope physically is a munchkin among behemoths. Its light-gathering mirror is only about 6 inches across.
But from its orbit nearly 500 miles above Earth, NEOSSat will be able to view faint near-Earth asteroids in a region of space that is tough for terrestrial telescopes to tackle.
The $25 million NEOSSat mission is one of seven satellites the Indian Space Agency lofted Monday aboard a single rocket launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, some 50 miles north of Chennal, on India's east coast.
Ground stations have made contact with NEOSSat, "and the basics are green," says Alan Hildebrand, a researcher at the University of Calgary in Alberta and the project's lead scientist.
To date, astronomers say they have discovered between 90 and 95 percent of the approximately 1,000 near-Earth asteroids estimated to be larger than half a mile across.
In 2005, Congress instructed NASA to hunt for smaller asteroids – setting a goal of finding 90 percent of near-Earth asteroids 500 feet wide and larger by 2020.
But as the Chelyabinsk asteroid demonstrated on Feb. 15, objects far smaller can inflict damage. At about 55 feet across, and with a mass estimated at 10,000 tons, the asteroid exploded high over the Ural mountains. The shock waves damaged an estimated 4,300 buildings and injured nearly 1,500 people.
With tens of millions of objects this size orbiting the sun, the recurrence rate for collisions with a Chelyabinsk-like object averages once every 100 years, according to Paul Chodas, with NASA's Near-Earth Objects Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Of particular interest to NEOSSat's astronomers are two groups of asteroids, known as Atens and Atiras. Members of both groups started out as asteroids in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. But gravitational interactions or collisions slowed these asteroids down to begin their spiral in toward the sun.
The Atiras have orbits that fall entirely inside Earth's orbit. The Atens' orbits occasionally cross that of Earth. The region of space NEOSSat aims to explore lies between 45 and 55 degrees away from the sun, well inside Earth's orbit, Dr. Hildebrand notes.
The time available for observing this region from Earth's surface lasts no more than about 30 minutes at a time, often less, Hildebrand says. The regions of interest are so close to the sun that observing time is limited by twilight and dawn.
The asteroids NEOSSat will hunt are incredibly faint, meaning long exposure times are needed for the cameras to pick them up. Several images must be taken to confirm that a suspected asteroid is moving against the background of stars.
From the ground, "one can do astrometric follow-ups in this brief interval of time," Hildebrand says of the observations needed to refine estimates of an asteroid's orbit. But prospects for success are slimmer for discovery efforts, he says.
In addition, ground-based efforts can be further degraded because telescopes will be peering through a relatively thick expanse of atmosphere as they try to observe activity in the regions of interest, adds Ed Tedesco, a researcher with the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Ariz., who leads a team of US scientists collaborating with Canada on the project. Researchers from the University of Helsinki also are participating.
Given the distances involved, NEOSSat will be able to detect Atens or Atiras about 1,000 feet across or larger.
From a hazard standpoint, the Atens appear to be the more worrisome of the two groups NEOSSat will observe.
But Hildebrand adds that researchers think that Atens may represent only 10 to 15 percent of the total asteroid hazard.
NEOSSat's biggest contribution is likely to be a census of the Atiras, whose number, size range, and composition are not well-known. With orbits that fall entirely within the radius of Earth's orbit around the sun, the Atiras could represent the most likely targets for landing humans on asteroids or for mining these leftovers from the solar-system's formation some 4.5 billion years ago.

The battle rages on.
Shimano's top-shelf road drivetrain has had to make some pretty serious improvements to keep up with its number one competition—the Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrain. Electronic shifting is proving to be very, very good, so the Di2's mechanical siblings are working extra hard these days. The Shimano Dura-Ace FD-9000 11-Speed front derailleur's improvements focus mainly on one area: usability. That means a lighter action and a shorter lever stroke. Electronic shifting is good, but if it also works to make mechanical shifting better, that's just a bonus.
The FD-9000 claims a 43% reduction in shifting effort compared to 7900. That's an enormous improvement. This is helped along by Shimano's polymer-coated shift cable, which nearly eliminates mechanical drag. Shimano then shortened the lever stroke by manipulating the leverage at the front derailleur. All this adds up to shifting that's on par with Shimano's Di2 system.
- 43% lighter action
- Shorter lever stroke

I have ridden about every grouppo out there and every generation of DA over the last 20 years. DA is still my favorite and has never let me down. I love the new 9000 it's effortless, crisp, reliable shifting through any scenario.

Will the Shimano Dura-Ace FD-9000 11-Speed Front Derailleur work on a triple crank set for use on a touring bike with Dura-Ace SL-BSR1 11-Speed Bar End Shifters? In other words does it have the necessary throw to expand the distance?

You mention they re-introduced the micro-trim system. Does this mean it does not have the trim features of the 7900 which claim to not require trimming on the large chainring?
The 9000 series is meant to be paired (der's, shifters....) The 9000 front shifter (left) has 4 points, 2 for small ring, 2 for large ring. The 9000 der may work with the 7900 shifter but may also lead to great frustration. I'd skip it and just get the 7900 to match your shifter.

The Daily Startup: Transcriptic Backed by Google, Cuban for Lab Automation Software
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Transcriptic, an eight-month-old company offering cloud-based software to automate various operations at smaller laboratories, says it is the first company to have raised a considerable funding round online, netting a $1.2 million seed round from about 70 investors after using SecondMarket and AngelList. The funding was joined by Google Ventures, FF Angel and individuals including Mark Cuban and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. Transcriptic has developed software aimed at giving smaller labs, including those found in academia, some of the firepower that larger labs run by public pharmaceutical companies have.
Asian investors have led a $24 million investment in Enevate, which aims to bring the fabless semiconductor business model to the manufacturing of long-lasting batteries for consumer electronics. Lead investor in the Series B round for Enevate is CEC Capital, formerly Shanghai Hua Hong International USA, which is backed by China Electronics, an electronics conglomerate in China. Tsing Capital, a clean-technology venture firm in China, also participated, along with Presidio Ventures, a Sumitomo unit. Series A investors Mission Ventures and Draper Fisher Jurvetson also participated.
Also in today's VentureWire, Pereg Ventures is raising a venture capital fund focused on marketing technologies, with Nielsen Holdings its anchor investor, as both the firm and its limited partner seek to leverage a surge in New York tech startups. The New York-based firm announced it is targeting $50 million for the inaugural fund, which will invest in early-stage startups...Offerpop has added $2.5 million to its Series B round as venture firms continue to "like" social media marketing startups. Most of the new capital comes from Bulger Capital Partners, which is new to the company's syndicate with this round. Offerpop sells a service that enables social-media-marketing managers to launch multiple types of media campaigns through social networks...andJuniper Networks has agreed to acquire software-defined networking startup Contrail Networks in a roughly $176 million cash-and-stock deal. It's a fast exit for Contrail, which is less than a year old and had raised $10 million from Khosla Ventures in July.

Discontinuing 7th, 8th grade sports considered
The Barnum School Board discussed discontinuing school-sponsored seventh and eighth sports at the meeting of the board on Tuesday, July 16.
The proposal was made because of the budget and the high cost of coach's salaries and transportation. Those sports could be offered by a community group, it was said.
Although the families of students pay participation fees, the fees charged are not enough to make up for the costs.
"Some kids don't participate because they know that their families can't afford it," said board member Lenore Skoglund.
No decision was made about the school not offering seventh and eighth grade sports at this time.
However, the board passed a motion to increase each activity fee by $15, and set a family maximum fee at $180, due to an increase in transportation costs.
New legislation to give the school board the authority to approve a $300 per adjusted pupil unit operating referendum without voter approval was discussed. That will replace the $1 operating referendum that the voters had approved.
The new levy will result in the school district receiving an increase of $176,046, added to the current $200,466 in revenue, totaling $376,512 in fiscal year 2015. That is the result of a levy for 30.86 percent, which would generate state revenue aid of 69.14 percent. The new levy would be for five years.
The board did not make a final decision. The deadline for a decision is September 30.
"Most of the change is in the state aid," said Business Manager Dawn Hultgren. "It comes from the state, not our taxpayers."
"This is one way that the Legislature can give you money," added Superintendent Dave Bottem. "This is a gift on the taxpayers. Everything that the state gives is on the taxpayers."
Several board members said that they should proceed with caution. Approval of the $300 levy could turn the voters against the school district, it was said.
Others spoke of reserving the extra revenue for a specific expense, such as a new bus.
"I'm torn too," said board chair Pat Poirier. "We're trying to stop the bleeding. This will help."
"We need a comprehensive plan to get out of debt," said board member Michael Line. "The debt went from $200,000 to $600,000."
Hultgren pointed out that the school district was not in debt, it was deficit spending.
The levy increase will be presented to the community on Facebook and in other communications for discussion before a decision is made.
There was discussion about a proposed $15 million bond referendum for adding classrooms and a gym to the high school to accommodate the large classes of elementary students that will be advancing into high school in the future. The plans also include replacing the boiler in the elementary school, which has been in service since the school was built in the 1960s.
The proposed referendum election would be held in 2014.
Supt. Bottem said that more state aid will be received for a 25-year bond rather than a 30-year bond. The property taxes would increase 18.48 percent.
"The property taxes for property owners in the school district just went down," he added. "They will just go back up, depending on what the interest rate is when we take out the bonds."
The board members expressed their support of the proposal.
"It's a good idea," said board member Colleen Fetters. "We have to keep growing. If not, we die."
Supt. Bottem said that more serious discussion was needed at public meetings. He suggested that an architect draw up a concept of what the addition would look like, and meetings be held in homes in the community, where a board member can explain the proposed plans.
"We want community input," said board member Paul Coughlin. "What do they want to see us do?"
No decision was made.
In other business, the board voted to keep the salaries of the board members the same, despite a proposal to raise the salaries at the same rate as the staff salary increases. It was said that the salaries of the board members hadn't been raised for 20 years, and that it was hard to get potential board members to serve for $30 a meeting.
The board approved a plan to landscape an area in front of the school and add maroon and gold day lilies. Supt. Bottem reported that the new landscape would take care of a problem area and add color to the front of the school. Community groups and alumni will be asked to donate towards the $6,450 project.
The next meeting of the Barnum School Board was set for Tuesday, August 20, at 6:30 p.m.

David Tepper just finished a rare appearance on Squawk Box this morning, covering everything from the Fed to the situation in Europe.
The billionaire founder of hedge fund Appaloosa Management also got into politics, as people are wont to do during these fiscal cliff days, and lucky for us, the folks at Squawk got him right to the point.
They asked Tepper what he would do as President of the United States right now.
"What I would do if I was President?," Tepper responded, "hard job... I would really lead on Medicare stuff that everybody knows has to get done."
Tepper went on to explain that he thinks the President needs to lead on that front since it's hard for Republicans to say what they want to cut. He's in favor not of massively gutting the program ("like some of these guys are") but he does think it's time to raise the age for eligibility since Americans are living longer.
Of course, that's just the spending side. On the revenue raising side, Tepper was probably even more adamant about what should be done.
"Raise my rate, I don't care. I know some guys are going to be mad at me but, get rid of this stupid carried interest. I hope it's gone."
Carried interest is a big deal for hedge fund managers and private equity firms. It's the money that is left over for an investment manager, after expenses, salaries, and investors are paid etc., and it is taxed as capital gain (15%) rather than as regular income (35%). Critics have said, though, that funds don't take enough risk with that money for it to be taxed at a lower rate, especially when they have a fixed pool of investment capital.

Alpheus Baker Hervey was an American clergyman, botanist, and prominent phycologist and bryologist. He specialized in marine algae.
Sea Mosses, A Collector's Guide and an Introduction to the Study of Marine Algae was published in 1881. It was written and illustrated by A.B. Hervey, A.M. This in-depth book contains 20 full page prints and many poems regarding the sea throughout.
The prints, or plates, are made by a form of printing called stereotyping. The labor intensive and costly process involves printing each color individually using a metal plate cast from a papier-mâché or plaster mould. The result is a extremely detailed replica of an actual moss or algae found in nature.

If We Speak With Honesty, Will People Listen & Respond?/
Today's guest post is from filmmaker Matthew Porterfield. Matt's contributed before, and his feature PUTTY HILL opens tomorrow. We had the good fortune to screen it recently at our screening series and had a packed house that all stayed for the Q&A. Matt blends a variety of techniques, from documentary and observational camera, to the more experimental. A portrait of a small town but through a Nan Goldin-ish eye, it is not one to miss. It's been a long and winding road, but this week PUTTY HILL opens theatrically in New York City.
PUTTY HILL spent the last year touring festivals and was picked up along the way by Cinema Guild, who will handle all U.S. rights, beginning with a theatrical rollout on February 18th at Cinema Village. We're very happy to be in such strong hands and feel confident that our timing is right: if Sundance is a barometer for the state of indie film, audiences are embracing stories about America outside the mainstream.
That said, it's hard for a little film to get noticed without substantial buzz. I remember back five years, when my first feature, HAMILTON (2006), opened at Anthology Film Archives the same day HALF NELSON hit theatres. I went around the LES with my wheat paste and posters trying desperately to find some free space beside the ubiquitous Ryan Gosling, hoping to share some of that limelight. Or, I think of Stockholm, when HAMILTON played right after a sold- out screening of OLD JOY and I thought, this is good: a perfect double feature until OLD JOY ended and everyone left the theatre but me and 11 people (one of them Ryan Fleck). Point is: I like these movies and I think audiences that like these movies will like my movies.
So how do I connect with them? I'm not certain there's one answer, but I'm hoping PUTTY HILL will prove we're doing something right this time around. No matter how limited our resources or reach, it's a fact that audiences beget new audiences. It's called word-of-mouth.
So far, this has been at the core of a fairly simple strategy: make good work, share it with everyone we can (friends, filmmakers, programmers, press), and let it speak for itself. If it speaks with honesty, people will listen and respond.
For the theatrical premiere of PUTTY HILL next week, we hope to cultivate the dialogue that's taking place around the film and carry it into the theatre. Each weekend night, Cinema Village will host three post-screening discussions with the filmmakers and some very special guests, friends of the film from inside and outside the industry. The idea is to join new audiences in conversation with audiences we've found along the way.
I hope you, reader, will join us opening weekend. Bring your friends! The events culminate Sunday the 20th with a celebration at Lit Lounge, featuring some of the best music coming out of Baltimore right now: Co La, Dustin Wong, and Dope Body, all collaborators on PUTTY HILL.
You come to my indie, I'll come to yours.
Friday 2/18

- 7pm screening: conversation w/ Jonathan Caouette (TARNATION), Sky Ferreira, Zoe Vance and the PUTTY HILL crew
- 9pm screening: conversation w/ Yance Ford (POV), Esther Robinson (ArtHome, DANNY WILLIAMS: A WALK IN THE SEA) and Ross Kauffman (BORN INTO BROTHELS)
Saturday 2/19
- 5pm screening: conversation w/ Jeronimo Rodriguez (NY1 News) and Matt Porterfield
- 7pm screening: conversation w/ Richard Brody (The New Yorker) and Matt Porterfield
- 9pm screening: conversation w/ Amos Poe (filmmaker) and Matt Porterfield
Sunday 2/20

- 7pm screening: conversation w/ Chris Keating (Yeasayer) and Matt Porterfield
- 9pm screening: conversation w/ Jem Cohen (filmmaker) and the PUTTY HILL crew
Matt Porterfield studied film at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and teaches screenwriting, theory, and production in the Film & Media Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University. His first feature, Hamilton, was released theatrically in 2006. Putty Hill premiered in 2010 at the Berlinale's International Forum of New Cinema.

I have a web service package called 'TestService.aar' deployed in 'axis2.war/WEB-INF/services'. Each web-method of my service has following code;
public ClassOne getClassOne () { ServiceFactory factory = new ServiceFactory(); MyServiceAPI service = (MyServiceAPI) factory.getService() ; return service.getClassOne(); }
Currently as you can see, I am creating an object of a ServiceFactory class (present under axis2.war/WEB-INF/lib directory as an independent JAR) in each web-method which can be re-factored and improved. Following are my options;
1) One way is to make my 'ServiceFactory' instance static (singleton) and all will use single instance. (Not recommended as my code will run in an Application Server like jBoss, WAS, WL and GS and it can cause problems)
2) The other way is to introduce Spring and make my WebSerice class springaware. I followed the instructions under 'Wihtout ServletContext' part of the link Apache Axis2 - Axis2 integration with the Spring Framework but I am unable to implement it successfully.
Can some provide me a simple example from which I can achieve my target. I just want all my services deployed as '*.aar' within axis2.war to access my ServiceFactory class which is deployed as 'jar' in 'axis2/WEB-INF/lib'.
Your comments and help will be appreciated,

How Flood Insurance Works
As Hurricane Sandy recedes, some homeowners will get a sick feeling as they survey the damage and pull out their insurance policies, learning that standard insurance coverage excludes flood damage.
Flood coverage is not part of regular homeowners insurance policies, which cover property damage from fallen trees, wind and fires. Instead, flood coverage is sold through specialized policies, dominated by the federal government's National Flood Insurance Program, covering 5.6 million consumers and businesses.
Despite advertising campaigns by the federal program, many people aren't aware they need the specialized flooding policies until too late. And October was too late for flood insurance shopping, since there is a 30-day waiting period for a policy to go into effect.
Policies can be purchased from local insurance agents and are administered by insurance companies but paid for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The price tag for the flood program is about $585 per property annually, although the cost can be much higher in riskier areas. Lenders mandate the coverage for properties in areas that are deemed at high risk of flooding, but the policies are available nationwide.
The federal flood-insurance program provides coverage up to $250,000 for the structure of the home and $100,000 for personal possessions. For commercial properties, it covers up to $500,000 for buildings and $500,000 for their contents.
In New Jersey alone, properties are insured for $54 billion via 236,000 flood policies. Nationally, the program paid out $1.3 billion in claims for Hurricane Irene in 2011 and more than $16 billion for Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Flood-insurance claims should be filed with the insurance company that sold the policy, often the same company as the primary homeowners' policy.
But unlike homeowners' policies, flood policies do not pay temporary relocation costs, such as hotels or apartments. They also do not pay for damage in a basement, other than to the heating, air conditioning and water systems.
Another difference is that flood policies pay for the cash value of damaged goods, rather than their replacement costs, which is typically higher, according to Don Griffin, a vice president at the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America
Below are some tips on filing claims, because filing for a flood isn't so different than any other type of claim.
Make temporary repairs: Take "reasonable" steps to protect your property from additional damage, says trade group Insurance Information Institute. Save receipts for all expenditures because they will be part of the total settlement. If paying a contractor a large sum for temporary repairs, there may not be enough money for permanent repairs, the trade group warns. Beware of contractors who ask for large sums of money up front.
If relocation is needed, keep those receipts, too: Homeowners insurance, but not flood insurance, provides coverage for the cost of additional living expenses if a home is damaged by an insured disaster, such as wind damage or a tree that fell through the roof.
Prepare for the adjuster's visits: The insurance company may send you a proof-of-loss form to complete, or an adjuster may visit the home first. The more detail provided—a description of possessions, approximate date of purchase and what it would cost to replace or repair—the faster the claim generally can be settled, the trade group advises.
Don't throw out damaged items: Keep everything until the adjuster has visited. Photographing or videotaping the damage may help, especially of photos of important possessions were taken before the storm.
Keep copies of all materials submitted to your insurer: Also, record the names and phone numbers of everyone you speak to at your insurance company.

Foxx gets nod to replace LaHood
Anthony Foxx, the fast-rising young mayor of Charlotte, N.C., will fill one of the last remaining slots in President Barack Obama's second-term Cabinet when the president taps him to replace Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, an administration official confirmed to POLITICO on Sunday.
Obama will announce Foxx's nomination on Monday, a day before the mayor's 42nd birthday, the official said. The news followed months of rumors that the mayor would win out over potential rivals including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Debbie Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Story Continued Below
Foxx, the first Democrat elected to the Charlotte mayor's office in 22 years, has long seemed a person on the way up. POLITICO named him one of "50 politicos to watch" in 2011, noting his successful effort to lure last year's Democratic National Convention to the Queen City.
He spoke at the convention as well, proclaiming Charlotte as "the city where Americans have come together to move our country forward and make great things possible."
"I was born to a single mom and raised by her and my grandparents," Foxx told the convention crowd. "They taught me to take pride in hard work, to take responsibility for my actions, and to understand that education could expand my mind and transform my life. From West Charlotte High School to Davidson College, where I was the first black student body president; from NYU Law School to practicing law in the public and private sectors; from the Charlotte City Council to becoming Charlotte's first Democratic mayor in 22 years to this stage tonight, I live by the values my family and what this community taught me.
"And you know what?" he said. "I have seen President Obama at work, and these are his values, too."
( PHOTOS: Obama's second-term Cabinet)
The administration is returning the praise.
"As mayor of one of America's most vibrant cities, Anthony Foxx knows firsthand that investing in world-class infrastructure is vital to creating good jobs and ensuring American businesses can grow and compete in the global economy," the administration official told POLITICO.
Foxx's transportation credentials include his push for expanding the city's LYNX streetcar to UNC-Charlotte, creating the Charlotte Regional Intermodal Facility that transfers cargo between trucks and trains, and building a new runway at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.
"These initiatives and investments are important pieces of a comprehensive plan to meet Charlotte's transportation needs and maintain its position as a leader in high-tech industry and 21st century job creation," the White House official said.
As an African-American, Foxx will also help address complaints about a perceived lack of diversity among Obama's top advisers. Conan O'Brien joked about that topic Saturday night, telling the president during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner that "your hair is so white, it could be a member of your Cabinet."

Mark McGwire to potential PED users: 'Don't do it'
New Los Angeles Dodgers hitting coach Mark McGwire, in an interview with Fox Sports Radio this week, has advice for today's players, some of whom continue to get caught using performance enhancers: "Yeah, don't do it."
McGwire, in a wide-ranging interview, touched on several topics but answered a couple of questions about PEDs, with his most telling answer coming to the question: What would you say to any hitter that asks you about using PEDs?
McGwire's answer, after the simple don't do it, according to sportsradiointerviews.com:
"Use your head. It's a mistake that I have to live with for the rest of my life. I have to deal with never, ever getting into the Hall of Fame. I totally understand and totally respect their opinion, and I will never, ever push it. That is the way it's going to be, and I can live with that.
"One of the hardest things I had to do this year was sit down with my nine- and 10-year-old boys and tell them what Dad did. That was a really hard thing to do, but I did it. They understood as much as a nine- or 10-year-old could. It's just something, if any ballplayer ever came up to me? 'Run away from it. It's not good. Run away from it.'"
Listen to the entire Mark McGwire interview here.
McGwire, who hit 583 home runs in a 16-year career, is back in the game after returning a few years ago as the St. Louis Cardinals hitting coach, having owned up to his PED use in the 1990s, when he broke Roger Maris' single-season home run record. In response to the widespread abuse of PEDS during that era, MLB and its players' union instituted game-wide testing.
However, there is a growing discussion today about another perceived spike in PED use among players.
San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal was suspended earlier this week, the latest player to test positive for what what ESPN.com says "seems to be the current drug of choice—testosterone, which theoretically advances the daily recovery of athletes and enables them to bounce back and work out more than peers who aren't taking the banned substance."
Grandal's suspension comes in the wake of more high-profile suspensions of then-San Francisco Giant outfielder Melky Cabrera and Oakland Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon, both of whom tested positive for taking elevated levels of testosterone.
A little more than year ago, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone and was suspended 50 games, only later to became the first MLB player to win his appeal.
In that context, McGwire addressed the perceived prevalence of PEDs today: "Why anybody would even think about doing that today I have no idea. I'm sad for these guys but then again you have to look at Major League Baseball and what they have done to crack down on it, it's been fantastic for the game of baseball and you just have to move on from it. I don't know what the percentage is, I think it's a lot lower but as far as I know nobody ever talks about it. You just have to move on, and if people get caught then they get caught. That's why they have the testing and it's gotten stronger over the years and you have to give kudos to the MLB for doing what they're doing, I think it's great.â€
Still, there's a strong appeal in testosterone, because of how quickly traces of it are gone from the body, players privately told ESPN.com, which wrote: "A cheating player takes some testosterone on a Monday, and by Wednesday he can smile in the face of a drug tester."
Interestingly, there is this change from the 1990s, when it's generally acknowledged that PEDs were rampant in baseball.
Today, clean players view cheaters as threatening the union and clean players by taking away jobs (and thus income) that those who play by the rules should be getting. Cheaters are, in effect, stealing from clean players.
Thus, it would appear there's a better chance today that the topic of drug-testing, PED use and how to keep the game clean will be a topic of discussion among MLBPA members.
If they need advice, Mark McGwire probably would be willing to talk.

LONDON, U.K. - In a bid to deal with the rising air pollution levels, officials in London are reportedly considering implementing citywide "car-free" days.
A report in The Guardian quoted a London City Hall source as revealing that this week, officials are scheduled to discuss the introduction of car-free days across the city's 32 boroughs.
Further, the source revealed that officials are mulling "more ambitious plans" to roll out car-free days across the entire capital in 2019.
So far this year, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has said that tackling the city's toxic air pollution from vehicle emissions and promoting other modes of transportation is one of his main priorities.
The Mayor's spokeswoman was quoted as saying in the report, "[He] is determined to do everything in his power to protect the health of Londoners and prioritise walking, cycling and public transport and reduce Londoners' dependency on polluting cars."
The proposal and subsequent discussion comes months after a joint inquiry by U.K. lawmakers concluded that the county's air pollution is a "national health emergency."
According to estimates released by government agencies, air pollution causes 40,000 early deaths per year, 9,000 of which are in London alone.
Currently, many global cities, including Tel Aviv, Reykjavík, Jakarta and Bath, U.K., organize car-free days.

A crime novelist whose books were inspired by Brazilian law enforcement has died. Leighton Gage was 71.
His daughter Melina Gage Ratcliffe says he died Friday evening at his home in Ocala, Florida, from pancreatic cancer.
He had been diagnosed three months ago.
Gage spent years living in Brazil and set his novels there. The books featured Chief Inspector Mario Silva.
There were six books in the series, and a seventh, "The Ways of Evil Men," is scheduled to be published early next year.
His daughter says Gage will be cremated and his ashes spread over the ocean off Brazil.

Some of the bold-face names in Colorado social circles — Greg Maffei, Larry Mizel and Doug Robinson — are helping host a Romney debate watching party tonight at the home of former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan.
Special guests are U.S. Sens. Orrin Hatch and Marco Rubio and Colorado's own Rich Beeson, Mitt Romney's victory political director.
Romney and President Barack Obama square off tonight in their first debate, at the University of Denver, at 7 p.m.
The cost to attend tonight's gala ranges range from $50,000 a couple to $2,500 a person, depending on what the person signs up for. The higher price range gets the Romney supporter into a breakfast with the presidential candidate Thursday morning at the home of Diane and Charlie Gallagher in Cherry Hills Village.
