The military is something that deserves our respect and our backing even though sometimes we don't always use our armed forces the way we should. There are so many different titles that describe what kind of unit that one belongs to. I mean for the United States we have the Army, Marines, National Guard and other sections or parties that serve different purposes for our or my country. Lately, all of our men and women that serve some part of the military have been battling a different kind of enemy and this enemy comes from within. I thought that would put a light on things and maybe even a smile on some faces to brighten up a day that needed to be taken from the darkness. I wanted to draw a soldier that you could all learn from because becoming a soldier is what a majority of young adults are choosing to be now a days and because of that they lose their youth and positive outtake on life. Instead of your typical drawing of a standard soldier I decided that the best route to go was to do a tutorial on how to draw a Chibi soldier step by step. Why did I choose to draw Chibi style you ask? Well the main reason why I decided to do a chibi version of a military soldier is because I wanted to add some brightness to the figure instead of looking at a normal image and thinking "wow, they must see a lot of shiznick". Instead, why not add a smile and say "oh how cute" and maybe a chuckle or two. Anyways, I love drawing chibi characters and because of that I came up with my version of an easy way for everybody to draw a soldier step by step. I actually tried giving this chibi a military box cut hair style but it didn't come out like I imagined. But anyway it's still a cool tutorial lesson. I will be back with another awesome lesson so stay in your seats kiddies there is more on the way.

Introducing Fresh Air
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2005 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2005
Q. I am trying to find out how much fresh air is required to be introduced to an apartment by means of a forced-air furnace. I understand that the manufacturer will provide a spec with his furnace. However, I would like to know if there is some sort of chart showing how much fresh air to introduce in homes in the state of Washington. If we don't introduce enough, we run the risk of poor indoor air quality. If we introduce too much fresh air, are we going to decrease the efficiency of the furnace? A.The furnace itself will not introduce air into your home, but an air inlet in the return duct will. I assume that this is what you are talking about, because your state code requires ventilation air to be distributed, and using your duct system is the easiest way to do this. The state of Washington has some specific air flow requirements: 0.35 ACH or 15 CFM per person. Sometimes the number of people is taken by default to be the number of ...

I completely agree with the critics like John Gruber: The London 2012 Olympic games logo is hideous. It's just inexcusably ugly.
Coudal Partners attempts to defend the logo but to me I almost find their defense offensive to common sense. They attempt to state 10 reasons why it should be loved, they make no comment of the fact it's visually unpleasant. Regardless of why we 'should love it,' the fact remains still that the logo is ugly. No amout of politicing in it's favor will change that fact. However, for the sake of argument I'll bite and respond to their defense:
It's not boring. The bright colors and distinctive design definitely DO stand out and it's immediately recognizable. Everyone's talking about it. Designers always complain about the status quo, so we find it surprising that so very few are taking a stand for a somewhat radical design.
It looks like something out of the Flintstones. Just because it stands out doesn't mean it's good. I'm kinda insulted by the end of that statement really… The whole 'designers always' comment. Just because it's a radical design doesn't mean it's good. I'm all for daring and unique if you can pull it off well and it looks good. Yeah this logo is definitely daring and definitely unique, but it doesn't look good.
It's different. It avoids all the go-to pratfalls of current logo design. No brushstrokes! No feathered drop shadows! No mirrored reflections! No gradients, patriotic colors, rainbows, ribbons, landmarks, symbols of unity, maps, swooshes or globes!
Yes it avoids a ton of cliché's, and that is a good thing, but it subscribes to several others, most notable the neon pink 'futuristic' look of the early 1990s children's toys and TV. I feel like I should be watching Saved By The Bell.
It's reproducable. Aside from the word "London" going chunky when sloppily rendered for the web (notably on the BBC reproduction that ended up on every site critiquing the logo), it's good to see a logo that's so easily printable, broadcastable, embroiderable and moldable (think of how horrible those 9-color rainbow brushstroke logos look when they're process-printed out-of-register with a 100 line screen on a McDonalds Cup!). It even looks pretty great in black and white.
It's flexible. A variety of color combinations, shapes, and patterns are available, keeping the logo slightly different on each view, but consistent (the BBC showed only the pink and yellow version, which didn't help its case). Also, keep in mind that an Olympic logo is almost always saddled with the logos of corporate partners. This square, bold mark will hold up.
It's the basis for a graphic system. Events require a complicated system of signage, identification, ornamentation, and even architecture. This logo and its associated colors, shapes, type and patterns are the perfect starting point for some fantastic signage, event icons, banners, tickets, uniforms and merchandise.
So… basically it meets the requirements for being a logo? The whole point of creating a logo is to be able to create a brand image around it. Anything that can't be printed with other logos or in different sizes would be simply unacceptable. Just because this logo can do these things doesn't mean it should be picked.
The last part in that group actually scares me… 'a basis for a graphic system' ugggg a whole theme based around this hideous thing… yuck!
It's timeless. We've read complaints that it's reminiscent of Tangrams (popular since the 1800s), Jamie Reid's "Never Mind the Bollocks" cover (1977), MTV (1981), '80s new wave design (Swatch, Bennetton), Emigre Magazine, early 90s television titles (Wacaday, Going Live, The Ben Stiller Show). We've read complaints that it's too 'current' and it'll look dated by 2012. We've also read complaints that it's too futuristic or modern. As far as we're concerned, all design is influenced by other design. This design rises above its influences, yet remains simple enough to stand on its own. If current trends continue (towards four color, "computery" 3-D), this logo will be even more fresh in five years.
I hate this defense.. just because there is a lot of bad design out there that seem to have a lot of similar conventions which this one lacks doesn't mean this is good. It just means this one manages to stand on it's own with it's ugliness, it succeeds in being ugly in a completely refreshing way.
It's English. The two names that come to mind when we hear "british design" are two of our favorite designers of all time: Neville Brody and Peter Saville. Without being a direct knockoff, the 2012 logo is evocative of their work, the punk and new-wave movements, rave culture and everything we like about the United Kingdom.
What? Because it's jagged and neon it evokes all these things? I kinda find that demeaning to those cultural movements.
When we hear "my kid could have done that!" we think "success." Some of the greatest logos of all time involve two lines (the Christian cross) or three lines and a circle (Mercedes). Your kid COULD have done that, but she didn't. Nor did she design the graphics standards manual that goes with it. So give it a rest. Or send us her resume.
There is a difference between this logo and a Jackson Pollock painting. Sure they both have that same criticism of them, and that defense. But the fact of the matter is Pollock's work managed to have an air of excitement and interest around it, bottom line, it was good. This logo is just ugly. Just because it's simple or different doesn't make it good, this defense could be raised to almost any piece of art that is simple, doesn't mean it's right or worth defending, and it detracts from the real instances where this defense is important. It comes off as that elitist 'art for art's sake' attitude that so often leads people to think all artists are self righteous nut-jobs. It hurts the design community as a whole when you use this excuse on something not worthwhile.
It cost £400,000. That's probably a bargain for an incredibly high-profile complete graphic identity system for an international company/event designed by experienced professionals. Anyone valuing the importance of design should give that argument a rest, too. We wouldn't have taken the job for a shilling less.
Do you know what that translates to in Dollars… shit. I'd kill for a gig like that and laugh all the way to the bank. I cannot believe London's olympic committee got suckered into that. It's comparable to the emperor's new wardrobe. Someone must have convinced them this was smart when the fact is they got takenL The emperor has no clothes on.
It's unexpected. Chicago is bidding for the 2016 Olympics and the temporary logo is a perfectly decent design. It's attractive, memorable and generally liked. It even generated a fair amount of internet buzz. But those brushstrokes and gradients don't reproduce well, the narrow vertical orientation complicates usage and by 2016, the Sears Tower is likely to be Chicago's third-tallest building. More than anything, the London logo takes the Olympic logo to a new level of boldness, abstraction and simplicity. And we're a bit jealous.
Just because it's unique doesn't mean it's good. It doesn't hide the fact that it's ugly. Yes it stands out.. because it's ugly.
To make matters worse it says nothing about the olympics ANY logo could be put in the middle of that zero and it would symbolize that. The logo cannot stand alone and evoke any sort of meaning. It cannot exist and say 'olympics,' 'sports,' 'competition,' or anything for that matter without the olympic rings in it. seeing things like this make me miss people like Paul Rand who knew how to use symbolism to make something meaningful, is there no one like him left these days? There is a point where abstraction without meaning is just dumb and any function is lost. This is way past that point. Is there really a whole generation of designers out there that meaning and symbolism is lost on? That scares me really.

After running the installer on windows, simply click on the "Start I2P" button which will bring up the router console, which has further instructions.
On Unix-like systems, I2P can be started as a service using the "i2prouter" script, located in the directory you selected for I2P. Changing to that directory in a console and issuing "sh i2prouter status" should tell you the router's status. The arguments "start", "stop" and "restart" control the service. The router console can be accessed at its usual location. For users on OpenSolaris and other systems for which the wrapper (i2psvc) is not supported, start the router with "sh runplain.sh" instead.
When installing for the first time, please remember to adjust your NAT/firewall if you can, bearing in mind the Internet-facing ports I2P uses, described here among other ports. If you have successfully opened your port to inbound TCP, also enable inbound TCP on the configuration page.
Also, please review and adjust the bandwidth settings on the configuration page, as the default settings of 96 KBps down / 40 KBps up are fairly slow.

Different players in a different game. I dont think JK could have played in Lomus era - he was not built for it.
The two best tries in WC for me is Kirwans against Italy and Jonahs against England
If you are going soley on World Cups - No one has ever touched Lomu's performance in 95, not even close, it was just a shame we never saw Lomu playing at anything above 75%

The lawsuit alleges that the actions violate the 14th and 15th amendments to the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.
After outlining four separate claims against the county, the lawsuit asks that San Juan County reapportion the districts.
The Navajo Nation is listed as the plaintiff in the lawsuit, along with six San Juan County residents. It will be argued before Federal Judge Robert Shelby.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs include Navajo Nation Attorney General D. Harrison Tsosie, Steven C. Boos of Durango, CO, and Eric P. Swenson of Salt Lake City, UT.
A copy of the lawsuit can be downloaded here.
A series of lawsuits in the past resulted in a number of significant changes in the way elections are carried out in San Juan County. In 1990, under the oversight of the US Department of Justice Office of Civil Rights (OCR), at-large voting for Commissioners and School Board members was eliminated in favor of separate election districts.
Since that time, the three-member County Commission has included an Anglo from the Blanding area, an Anglo from the Monticello area and an Indian from the Montezuma Creek – Aneth area.
In addition, the five-member School Board has included three Anglos from the Blanding and Monticello areas and two Indians from the Navajo Nation portions of the county.
On both boards, an Anglo majority has always held the balance of power. The lawsuit suggests that the balance of power is fundamentally unfair since more than 52 percent of the current population of San Juan County residents are Indians, including more than 50 percent of voting-age residents.
Anglos make up the majority of voters in the districts that have retained Anglo representatives, while Indians make up the majority of voters in the districts represented by Indians.
While adjustments to voting districts across the country are generally made after each US Census, the lawsuit states that the San Juan County districts were not adjusted after the 1990 and 2000 Census were completed.
After the 2010 Census, the county made slight changes to the districts, but did not change the boundaries of the voting precincts.
San Juan County officials have stated that they have strictly followed the guidelines set up by the OCR after the lawsuits in the 1980s. While considering the changes after the 2010 Census, they expressed a concern that adjusting precinct boundaries may violate the terms of the prior court settlement.

Why I went: My study abroad experience was actually a research trip funded by the UB Honors College Research and Creative Activities Fund. I went to study agricultural development, but ended up finding water issues more interesting and relevant to my own life (coming from the North American Great Lakes Region).
Water issues I worked on while I was there: I helped set up a co-op that provided farmers with emissions-free water pumps for watering fields.
Why water caught my attention: I remember — I can still see it — a very small, makeshift dam the farmers were using. It was made of sticks and leaves and just a trickle of water was coming through. Seeing all the livestock and people trying to get water from this limited source got me interested in the politics of water: who gets it, how to distribute it.
Another thing that fascinated me about Tanzania: I was amazed by the emergence of mobile communication technologies in even remote villages. Since 2007, mobile has been transforming economic and human development across Africa.
What I'm doing now: My first trip to Tanzania included an eight-hour layover in London. This gave me the chance to take a peek at the city, which inspired me to apply to British universities for grad school.
I'm finishing up a PhD at Oxford now. My dissertation looks at how mobile payment options influence water provision in urban areas. I've been back to East Africa at least five or six times for research and work.
On Buffalo and Tanzania: Going abroad has given me a new perspective on almost every issue we face in Western New York. I'm hoping to apply mobile innovations from East Africa and ideas from leading Oxford thinkers to challenges in Buffalo. The world holds the solutions to Buffalo's 21st-century problems. We just have to go out and find them.

We finally have the answer to what Reilly will be doing in the fall. It isn't exactly what we hoped for, but it's pretty close, and probably for the best.
We had applied to Mitchell College, a small, four-year school in Connecticut that has a sports management major and a great learning disabilities support program. Mitchell's admissions committee wasn't completely convinced that Reilly was ready for a full course load, so they have accepted him into a one-year bridge program that should prepare him better for the rigors of college. If he does well, they might accept him into the college for spring semester. Or he might stay in the Thames Academy [3] program for the entire year and hope to get into the college the following year.
He's happy, we're happy, and we're hoping that this next year will tell us more about whether a bachelor's degree is in reach for Reilly.
The NYIT Vocational Independence Program [4] has served Reilly pretty well for the last two years. But pursuing academics meant traveling to the school's other campus for college-credit classes. And the communication between the college professors and Reilly's academic advisor at VIP seemed to be lacking. He did not do well in the business management class he took this last semester, at least partly because he didn't get (nor did he seek, apparently) the academic supports he needed. He did well in his other credit class, so we're still hopeful that college is possible.
Thames Academy is located on the edge of the Mitchell campus, in a big, old Victorian house. Dorm rooms are on the upper floors, with classrooms on the main floor. The program is for students who need more help to become college-ready. The students take a variety of classes, including college-credit Sociology and Humanities courses designed to improve writing skills, a college Math class and non-credit classes "to redefine who they are and where they see themselves," along with improving executive function, according to the Thames website.
Meals and extracurriculars are on the Mitchell campus. And Reilly will have a roommate for the first time. I started to worry about that, but then I reminded myself that living with a roommate is a skill he needs to learn.
Reilly seems to be ready for the new challenge. In a Facebook post, he said he would miss his girlfriend, Ashley, and all his friends at NYIT. He promised to visit them and concluded with "Time to start a new journey in life." They all wished him well. Ashley is sad, but supportive. Reilly hasn't been very forthcoming about their discussions, but says they plan to have a long-distance relationship. He's asked if Ashley can come to our house for a visit this summer. We'll try to work that out.
It's an exciting time of transition for our family. Reilly's sister, Brigid, graduated from college last week, and begins her "new journey in life" as well. Reilly's brother, Ben, is planning a cross-country move to pursue a music career. For this week, we are all together, celebrating these milestones with a family beach vacation. How many more of these will we get, as our children scatter to where life takes them?
So, today, we toast the next phase of everyone's journey. Godspeed!

I notice a few of you are planning to see Pacific Rim twice. The last time I saw a movie in theaters twice was Slumdog Millionaire. First time I went by myself and the second time I saw it with my mom. If a friend wanted to go see it, I'd gladly see it again with said friend.
I doubt anyone was surprised by who the final villain was
Saw the new Wolverine movie last night. I found it pretty average. The plot is extremely predictable with the viewer knowing how things will finish up in the first 20 minutes.Code: [Select]I doubt anyone was surprised by who the final villain wasI don't regret watching it but at the same time I wouldn't recommend it.
So would you describe the movie as Wolverine's anime adventures though Japanland?
Quote from: Aeolus on July 27, 2013, 09:09:06 PMSo would you describe the movie as Wolverine's anime adventures though Japanland?Not so much anime adventures as lets throw in everything the average person in the west thinks of when they hear the name Japan. with the exception of tentacles
I saw the Pacific Rim in 3D and it's weird... you hardly remember the 3D effects at all in these movies... unless it's Jackass 3D, which is the crowning achievement in cinema

Comment: I am glad that Google has done so well. Many of the buildings now in use by Google were vacant as recently as a year ago. Check out the former Mayfield Mall site. It's spooky. My specific comment is I feel that Google is guilty of rampant age discrimination. Google workers I've seen around town all appear to be in a 24 to 32 age bracket. I challenge them to furnish names of even ten Google workers who are over forty. Cordially, Paul Kinzer

Google has many employees who are over the "24 - 32 age bracket." I've worked at Google before and it's a very diverse place to work. The environment and coporate culture is unlike any other company I've worked for, and it's not a good thing. It almost feels as though you have to be part of a special clique and that if you don't fit that clique you're quickly removed. I just think it's funny that they have this "Do no evil" motto yet there are coutless examples of Google's unethical business practices. It's not that they mean to be that way, it's just that today's US business model facilitates that sort of behavior.

I just had a phone call (the called hung up before I could pick up the phone.)
When i called the number right back I had someone answer who identified themselves as 'Google asgh;rthj;o' (The last part was unintelligible.)
After trying to get her to repeat herself a few times I came to understand that the person I was talking to hadn't actually called ME but "someone else in our office must have dialed your number"…).
It seems I may have missed my window of Google Opportunity.
As regards the office space issue, I have worked for some major companies in the Bay Area (Cisco ring a bell?) and Google seems like a cautionary tale in the making; how much growth is enough? For the community or the company? Is all money Good Money?

I know several people who work there. A drive thru campus at lunch time could easily cause one to think they do discriminate by age. Google employs a lot of 20-something engineers. Unfortunately, most have very little social maturity, no other work experience, and a lot of arrogance. The hiring methodology has to change to a focus on people with real world experience and people management. Google will not be able to continue it's success without a change in how they hire/manage people.

I'm curious how many of the Google-bashers on this post use Google's search engine and other technology services to enhance their own lives? (Many services which are provided at no charge, I might add.) Sure there is a downside with every upside, but for a company that has brought life back into the long-depressed silcion valley, they should be applauded. Plus, when these Google-bashers are ready to sell their home to proudly cash in on this rare opportunity for Mountain View homeowners, are they going to refuse an offer from a 24-year-old Google employee. I bet not.
Go Google! (and thanks for the free WiFi that is saving me from having to pay to Comcast $100 each month)

Bluff Point is the last remaining significant piece of undeveloped land along the Connecticut coastline. Jutting out into waters of Long Island Sound this wooded peninsula, measuring one and one-half miles long by one mile wide, encompasses over 800 acres.
Originally proposed for acquisition as a state recreation facility as early as 1914, it was not until 1963 that the western one-third of the land was purchased from Henry A. Gardiner III. State holdings include a north-south strip of the mainland, a portion of the headland bluff fronting the Sound, and the tombolo or sandspit forming a beach of nearly one mile in length. The beach terminates in a small, rocky island called Bushy Point.
Bluff Point was designated a "Coastal Reserve" by a special act of the Connecticut legislature in 1975 to establish the area "for the purpose of preserving its native ecological associations, unique faunal and floral characteristics, geological features and scenic qualities in a condition of undisturbed integrity".
Because of its Coastal Reserve designation, access to the bluff is by foot or non-motorized vehicle only. The trail to the bluff passes through wooded and open areas until the view broadens as the bluff is approached. Here vegetation is more sparse and diminutive because of wind exposure. Among the plants to be found at the headland are native beach plum, beach pea and red and white shore roses.
The long, narrow beach is a geological remnant of the continental glaciers and subsequent erosion by wind and water... an ongoing process.

Our View: Feds should tend to levee
Last week, the Tensas Basin Levee District began work to repair a bank caving in a Ouachita River bendway that had eaten into the levee following flooding created by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008.
This isn't a little bit of erosion. It's a 2,000-foot gash that could have cause a levee failure.
A temporary repair in 2010 protected the region in the short term, but this project will involve creating a levee setback, which is basically building a new levee behind the damaged one.
It's not the only such bank caving along the Ouachita. It's just the most critical.
In fact, a 2003 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study identified 221 caving banks along the river and estimated would cost about $225 million to fix them all.
The levee setback in Columbia will cost about $1.6 million and funded by the local levee district.
Tensas Basin Levee District officials, led by executive director John Stringer, have rightly claimed the corps should be responsible for funding and repairing the most dangerous of these erosion sites.
The levee district was never meant to be responsible for major levee repairs on this federal project. It was created as a levee maintenance partner for the corps that would also assist in flood fights.
Our local taxpayers, who pay an annual property tax to fund Tensas Basin Levee District operations, can't afford to foot the bill for these projects.
"We're not happy because we don't believe the local taxpayers should be responsible, but we have no choice except to fix the levee to protect people and property," he said.
Stringer said U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has assured him he will preserve language in the 2013 Water Resources Development Act requiring the corps to conduct a study and pilot program to implement bank stabilization projects along navigable waterways.
Vitter is the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and will be part of a conference committee that melds together the Senate and House version of the bill.
It's a measure desperately needed to shore up the wall protecting the people and property of northeastern Louisiana, and we encourage Vitter to make sure the language stays in the final version of the bill.

(CNN/RNN) – The wildfires burning in California have turned deadly.
Twenty three people have been killed and 110 are missing after a series of fast-moving fires ripped through the state, putting millions under red-flag warnings and pushing thousands from their homes.
Thousands of structures have been destroyed.
In Northern California, the Camp Fire has led to at least nine deaths, and has pushed at least 50,000 people from their homes.
Cal Fire, the state's fire-fighting agency, said it's the most destructive fire in state history in terms of structure loss. It's already destroyed most homes in the town of Paradise, where roughly 30,000 people have been forced to evacuate.
The Associated Press reports the fire has destroyed more than 6,000 homes.
It's also consumed at least 70,000 acres, and officials said the fight is far from over – and they warn more evacuations may be necessary.
In Southern California, two large fires – named the "Hill Fire" and the "Woolsey Fire" – have forced residents of Los Angeles, Ventura and Malibu from their homes.
The fires have prompted evacuation orders for around 250,000 people, and they've destroyed more than 150 homes.
They've also affected Thousand Oaks, the site of a mass shooting that left 12 dead late Wednesday.
"Fire departments are not able to put out wind-driven brush fires," said Andy Fox, the mayor of Thousand Oaks. "Our best efforts as a community is to evacuate."
Strong winds and low humidity have fueled the fires. Panicked residents have fled as they ripped through neighborhoods.
"It was crazy – people driving like maniacs to get out of here. It's never been this bad," one Calabasas resident said.
Another Calabasas resident remarked: "I just can't believe it. It really looks like a war zone."
A number of celebrities have been forced to evacuate their homes.
Kim Kardashian West, Scott Baio, Rainn Wilson, Guillermo del Toro and Lady Gaga have all evacuated their homes.
The fire has already destroyed the home of "Dr. Strange" director Scott Derrickson, according to the Associated Press.
Acting Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for Butte County in the north, and for Los Angeles and Ventura Counties in the south.
President Donald Trump has granted the state's request for a Presidential Emergency Declaration, which will dedicate federal resources toward assisting state and local emergency responders.
However, early Saturday morning Trump tweeted a threat to withhold federal payments to California, unless the state took steps to remedy its "poor" forest management.

The Cloud Debate: Public Versus Private
What does the legal battle between Salesforce.com and Microsoft really mean for the future of cloud computing?
By Tony Kontzer
Salesforce.com's move last week to launch a legal counter-attack against Microsoft seems to signal that software's old and new guards are ready to spar over who will have the most sway over the future of cloud computing.
Will it be Salesforce, perhaps the best-known pure cloud computing company out there, riding its "No Software" slogan to the top of the cloud computing heap? Or will Microsoft, the bully of the packaged software era, convince corporate America that its hybrid approach to the cloud is a better fit to meet their needs?
Of course, there are countless other companies that could just as easily lead the cloud computing charge -- Oracle, NetSuite, Rackspace, IBM -- but this is a case in which the "who" isn't as interesting as the "what."
Salesforce.com and Microsoft represent two differing cloud computing philosophies that many CIOs find themselves struggling to pick between.
For that reason, where each CIO's favor falls will depend on a number of factors, including:
- their business objectives related to cloud computing
- the cost pressures they're facing; the skill level of their IT teams
- their respective comfort levels with placing mission-critical data in a service provider's data center
- their general outlook on cloud computing
CIOs who view the cloud as a completely new computing paradigm - one in which every IT resource possible can be accessed via the Web -- will be pulling for Salesforce.com.
CIOs who remain convinced that the mission-critical systems they oversee must remain fully in their control are likely to feel comfortable with a Microsoft environment that protects them from the perceived security risks of multi-tenant servers.
At the heart of the matter is the growing debate over the relative value of public clouds (the Salesforce.com model) vs. private clouds (a component of the Microsoft model). The problem is, that debate's about as clear as -- pardon the analogy -- a thick, gray cloud (as this exploration of the topic by colleague Mary Jo Foley illustrates).
Ask a dozen IT executives to define the private cloud, and you'll likely get a dozen different answers. Is it simply a traditional IT environment with a Web-based front end? Is it a separate data center set up by a company to specifically serve up Web-based applications accessible from any device? Is it a private server and singular application instance managed by a service provider?
No matter how many times it's explained to me, I still have a hard time understanding what exactly a private cloud is, how it differs from the established approach to IT of serving up applications from a company-run data center, or whether there's really even such a thing.
More than anything else, it strikes me as a marketing shell-game designed to sell CIOs cloud computing training wheels, without the perceived security risks. But really, all they've embraced is virtualization.
And let's face it: the move to virtualization is more of technology tactic than a business strategy. Conversely, the move to true cloud computing, while clearly enabled by emerging technology, seems to me to be a strategic business decision. It's a commitment to a completely different methodology for delivering technology to users, and for managing and maintaining that technology.
In that sense, if the IT gods are just, Salesforce.com and its evangelistic CEO, Marc Benioff, will emerge from their legal scrapple with Bill Gates & Co. as cloud computing's top dogs. Even if they don't stay there long, maybe they will have helped push the industry toward a new era of business computing, rather than watching the courts rubber stamp the status quo.

The Max-Planck Summer Academy for Legal History, offered by the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (MPIeR), provides an in-depth introduction to methods and principles of research in legal history. Although its main focus is on European legal history, there is special emphasis on global perspectives on legal history. It addresses a selected group on highly motivated early-stage researchers, usually PhD candidates, working on a research project with an interest in the basic research of historical formation and transformations of law and other normative orders.[The special theme for module 2 is Global Perspectives on Legal History.] Global History, World History, Imperial History, Atlantic or Pacific History: the variety of transnational historiography is growing ever larger still. These global perspectives provide new challenges and opportunities for legal history. In various lectures and workshops during the third week of the summer academy the participants reflect on the different concepts and models of how to approach the global perspectives in legal history. The aim is to raise awareness when employing these perspectives and enabling the participants to critically analyze the discourses on transnational historiographies. A detailed schedule including the lecturers will be available [here.]
The academy consists of two modules and lasts three weeks; the first two weeks provide an introduction to the study of sources, methodological principles, as well as theoretical models and controversial research debates on basic research fields of legal history (module 1). During the third week the participants discuss a special research theme and develop their own approach to the theme (module 2).

CINCINNATI — They're starting to catch on.
CINCINNATI — They're starting to catch on.
The Patriots' young receivers seem to be figuring out what Tom Brady needs them to do, helping rookie-reliant New England get through a tough stretch of injuries without a loss. They'll need them as much as ever on Sunday when the Patriots (4-0) try to remain perfect with more rookies taking over on defense.
The Bengals (2-2) won't have to contend with defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. That's likely to mean more playing time for rookies Joe Vellano (who wasn't drafted) and Chris Jones (who has been cut by two teams already).
Nothing new for the Patriots, who have shown a remarkable ability to replace stars with newcomers and keep winning.
How do they do it?
"That guy," Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones said. "Brady is one of the best and he's a competitor. He hates losing. And I'm talking about not games, I'm talking about plays. When you have a guy like that leading the group, it makes all the other guys play a whole lot better.
"Brady is unbelievable."
His cast is getting better — and healthier.
Former University of Cincinnati receiver Kenbrell Thompkins — an undrafted rookie who tried out for the Bengals — has emerged in the last two games, catching nine passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie Aaron Dobson also assumed a big role with receiver Danny Amendola sidelined the last three games because of a groin injury. Tight end Rob Gronkowski has missed all four games while recovering from offseason surgery on his back and forearm.
The Patriots have dominated their recent games against the Bengals, taking advantage of every mistake. Brady is 4-0 career against Cincinnati, though this is the best of the Bengals defenses he has faced.
"This is going to be as tough a game as we've had all year," Brady said. "We'll see where we match up."
Five areas to watch as the Patriots try to remain unbeaten on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium:
THOMPKINS & COMPANY: The rookie had a break-out game during a 30-23 win at Atlanta, catching six passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. His most impressive play was a 49-yard catch, going up to snatch the ball away from a defender. That one caught Brady's attention.
"If your guy is always coming down with it, then you keep giving him opportunities," said Brady, who will be facing a depleted Bengals defense. "That's how trust works and you build that in practice, you build it in games and you just keep working on it."
WITHOUT WILFOLK: The middle of the Patriots defense is going to be awfully young on Sunday, providing the Bengals even more reason to run the ball. Coordinator Jay Gruden thinks they need to find an identity, saying the offense is a jack of all trades, master of none. They've been at their best when they've committed to grinding it out, which eventually opens things up for A.J. Green and the receivers.
"Do you want to run the football? Heck, yeah, we want to run the football," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "We want to run it a lot."
BENNIE AND THE PATS: Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis spent his first four seasons in New England and estimates he stays in touch with 10-20 of his former Patriots teammates. Given New England's changes in the middle of the defensive line, Green-Ellis is likely to get plenty of chances on Sunday to brush shoulders with them.
BENGALS TEs: New England had trouble guarding Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, who had 12 catches for 149 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Patriots put two defenders on him at the line for the final series. They won't be able to do that against the Bengals, who have two dangerous tight ends in Jermaine Gresham and Tyler Eifert.
PERFECT PATRIOTS: New England is trying to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 2007, when it won its first 18 games before losing the Super Bowl to the Giants. The Patriots have won their last four games against the Bengals and seven of their last eight. In his four games against Cincinnati, Brady has completed 69.7 percent of his passes for 937 yards with 10 touchdowns, two interceptions and a 114 passer rating.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Boston College linebacker and cancer survivor Mark Herzlich.
Herzlich was named the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year following the 2008 season. In early 2009, he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma and spent the last year battling the disease. Now—cancer-free after several months of chemotherapy and several more months of recovery—Herzlich has returned to the BC squad and is very optimistic about the team's future. He went down to ACC Media Days in Atlanta and joined 790 The Zone to discuss his cancer, his treatment and what the season holds for him and the Eagles.
On how shocking and devastating the initial news was to him at such a young age:
"Yeah it is a shock because going into a season, you're ranked high on draft boards, people are looking at you to win the Butkus, to do this stuff and then you come out and get called to the doctor's office, to the oncology center and you're told you've got cancer. So within 20 minutes your life completely changes. And not only that, I was told I would never play football again, that there was a 70 percent chance that I would even live for the next five years. So that is a big shock to your system and it takes a little while to get past that. Once I got past that and realized that it was important to keep my head steady, to keep working as I was to get to where I was in football with the same attitude with cancer, that's when I could step forward."
On what's going to change with his approach to the upcoming season now that he's survived:
"Not taking anything for granted. That's the first thing. Coming out and watching more film. I thought I could just rely on my instincts, that I didn't need to watch that much film, I could just play and react and I did a pretty good job of that in 2008. But now, you know, football became that much more important to me, and I don't think it was until I was told I could never play football again that I really realized how important football is to my life. It was always something I just did for fun and I ended up being pretty good at it, and I just kept playing. But then I realized how much being a part of that team, being on the field ever week, meant to who I was as a person."
On the slow arduous process of recovering from something as debilitating as cancer:
"I think the chemo, the radiation, the surgery – it's all a push. It's not really…physically it's draining, you get tired; mentally it's draining you get tired…but it's really just you've got to make one step at a time. There's progression and you see the progression and you just know that once you get done with this chemo, I have only five more, or four more, or whatever it is. But the hardest part for me was coming back from the surgery and getting ready to play again. I got back and I was at a point where I could have easily not played again, and I was fine, I was ready to go, I could play tennis or do whatever. But getting back into football is different. The progression of my leg, the flexibility and the strength, took so long to get back. Culminating now. And now I feel the flexibility, I feel the strength, mentally I'm ready to go. And for some reason, it happened right now just before the season. So I'm very thankful for that."
On if he's intimidated being an inspiration now to others:
"You know it was in the beginning. It was something that I was like hmmm, I'm not sure about this. I wanted to just focus on what I cam to do. I got a call from Tedy Bruschi the great Patriots linebacker. He didn't have cancer but he had a stroke. What he told me was, you know what Mark…this was after I finished or had been declared cancer free. He said you're a survivor now, you've got to be proud to be a survivor. And that was something…those words really stuck with me. For me that meant not only did I survive, I can do something now. I'm done with doing well, but there's plenty of people that I sat next to in the chemo chair, in radiation, that aren't doing as well. And they need someone to tell them that they can get back. And that's what I can do."
On what he realistically expects out of himself and the BC team this coming year:
"Right now the team success, we want to win every game we play. And that's the biggest thing. That's what every single player and guy in this room in this whole media day, they want to win every single game, that's the biggest goal. Personally as I progress forward, I want to get back not only as good as I was in 2008, but taking the next step. I want to be the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, I want to win the Butkus, I want to do all these things. I want to get an ACC Championship Ring on my finger. And with that, it will expand my story even more and more people will be touched by it, by my inspiration. That will be an added benefit."

Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk begins his visit to the Greek Orthodox Church
On 10 December 2011, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations (DECR), arrived in Athens at the invitation of His Beatitude Archbishop Hieronymus II of Athens and All Greece and with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. Metropolitan Hilarion was met at the airport buy Bishop Gabriel of Diavleia, chief secretary of the Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church and Mr. F. Voskresensky, second secretary of the Embassy of Russia to Greece.
The DECR chairman is accompanied by archpriest Igor Yakimchuk, DECR secretary for inter-Orthodox relations; hierodeacon Ioann (Kopeikin) assistant to the DECR chairman; and Leonid Sevastianov, executive secretary of the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation.
On Sunday, December 11, Metropolitan Hilarion officiated at the Divine Liturgy in the Church of St. Dionysius the Areopagite in Kolonaki. Concelebrating were Bishop Theodorite of Nazianzus, Bishop Procopius of Christianopolis, clerics of the Greek Orthodox Church, and ordained members of the Russian Orthodox Church's delegation.
His Beatitude Archbishop Hieronymus II of Athens and All Greece, who prayed at the service, welcomed Metropolitan Hilarion, thanking him on behalf of clergymen and laymen for the joy of his visit and for officiating at the Divine Liturgy. Archbishop Hieronymus asked Metropolitan Hilarion to pray for all Greeks and wished him strength to overcome difficulties of his responsible ministry, and also asked to convey love to fraternal Russian people and to His Holiness Patriarch Kirill in particular.
The DECR chairman greeted all those present on behalf of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill, saying that he has arrived in the holy land of Greece with his blessing to meet with His Beatitude Hieronymus and hierarchs of the Church of Greece and to present Patriarch Kirill's book 'Freedom and Responsibility' about the problems of the life of the Church at present. "The book is widely known in Russia and in many other countries, as it has been translated into many languages; I do not doubt that it will elicit response from the Greek readers,' Metropolitan Hilarion added.
He said further, "Your Beatitude! His Holiness Patriarch Kirill has asked him to convey his love and support to you. The Russian Orthodox Church has always been and will be with the Church and people of Greece. We know about their current difficulties and hope that with God's help they will be overcome in the nearest future.'
Metropolitan Hilarion spoke of the spiritual dimension that helps Christians to cope with sorrows and endure crises. "We hear much about the financial and economic crisis in Greece. There are problems everywhere, people are suffering elsewhere. Yet, the spiritual dimension, which the Church gives us, helps us to master difficulties in our life.'
"Several days ago we witness an amazing event in Moscow and other Russian cities: the Sash of the Theotokos was brought there. During several days one million people venerated it in Moscow, and over three million – in other cities. People stood in a queue for over twenty hours; temperature below zero. What attracted people to the holy relic? This was God's grace. People felt deep in heart that the Most Holy Mother of God visited the country, and they stood in a long queue to venerate the relic. This is the power of God and the power of people's prayer. We feel this power any time we come to church and partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. The Eucharist Mysteries are the holy of holies; when we participate in the Divine Liturgy, we become the chosen people, participants in the Lord's Last Supper,' Metropolitan Hilarion said.
He concluded his address with wishes of God's help to His Beatitude Hieronymus in his primatial ministry, peace and prosperity to the Greek Orthodox Church, its clergymen, monastics and laymen, to Greece and its people.

People working in downtown Portland are driving more than riding transit to their jobs, according to surveys conducted by the Portland Business Alliance.
The group's most recent survey found that 44 percent of downtown commuters were driving to work in 2011. That's up from 36 percent three years ago. And 34 percent of downtown commuters said they took bus or light rail to work last year. That's down from 44 percent three years ago.
Portland State University professor Kelly Clifton says the data reflect national commuting patterns, as transit agencies cut service and employers suspend bus passes.
"In economic downturns, we see cuts to transit service," Clifton says. "We also see the private provision of transit benefits change – and as some of those go away, people who have already made sunk investment in purchasing a car, they're probably more likely to use it."
Clifton notes that commuters are also choosing to bike to work more often. Clifton says Portland commuters tend to favor transit and bikes more than in other cities Portland's size.
The business surveys were for 2011. A TriMet spokeswoman says ridership has gone up two-percent this year, after climbing steadily since the 1990's.

Two Army soldiers who served with Micah Xavier Johnson, the gunman who attacked police officers in downtown Dallas, believe the Army should investigate the handling of a bizarre incident that resulted in Johnson's removal from Afghanistan in 2014.
The Army has said it is reviewing Johnson's records but has stopped short of saying it is investigating how the incident itself was handled.
In an exclusive interview with NBC 5 Investigates, Sgt. Mark Wallace, an Army reservist who was in Afghanistan with Johnson, described how Johnson was caught stealing underwear from a female soldier in his close-knit Army platoon.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The female soldier had reported underwear disappearing from her laundry, prompting unit leaders to conduct a barracks search.
"We discovered that there was a stash of women's underwear in his room. And as we discovered it he, of course, jumped into the room, swooped them up and put them in his hoodie in his front pouch, which added to the bulk that was already there," Wallace said.
Wallace said Johnson took off running after he was confronted – prompting a search for him in the darkness on the remote Army base known as FOB Shank.
Commanders ultimately caught up with Johnson and recovered more evidence.
"We start looking in the dumpsters, we start looking in all the latrines and the showers, and we found one pair – one or two pairs – that he had attempted to kind of flush down the toilet," Wallace said.
On Friday the Army released an investigator's report that confirms Wallace's account of the incident.
It says an Army investigation determined Johnson "took underwear" from a laundry bag belonging to a female soldier who was a friend of his and tried to "dispose of the evidence" after unit leaders found some of the underwear in Johnson's room.
The report says that Johnson also sent messages to the same female soldier that "constitute sexual harassment." The woman had been a friend of Johnson's but both he and the woman told investigators their friendship had splintered before the incident.
During the search, the report says investigators also found Johnson was "storing an explosive article" in the barracks where he lived – and did not have any reason to possess that explosive device.
Concerned about Johnson's behavior, commanders put him under watch after the underwear incident, posting an officer outside his room at all times and taking away his weapons.
"At least one NCO (non-commissioned officer) was either right outside of his room or had visual on him at all times until he left the location that we were at," Wallace told NBC 5 Investigates.
Two days later the Army sent Johnson away to Bagram Airfield and eventually back home.
But Johnson showed no remorse before leaving, Wallace says.
"He blatantly, like even the next day, was like, 'No, they're lying. They're lying about all of it. They're making all of it up.' And it's like, 'Dude, like we caught you doing this. We caught you red-handed doing this,'" Wallace said.
Despite the investigator's finding that Johnson sexually harassed the female soldier and concealed a grenade, Army records suggest Johnson received an honorable discharge from his active-duty assignment in Afghanistan.
Wallace, and another former member of the unit, retired Sgt. Gil Fischbach, want to know how that could happen.
"I want them to thoroughly investigate. I want them to figure out and I would like to see someone held accountable," Fischbach said.
The Army has not responded to questions from NBC 5 Investigates about the handling of the incident. In a statement last week an Army spokeswoman noted that a review of Johnson's records, "has not identified any documented acts of violence."
The recommendations of the Army investigator who initially looked into the 2014 incident have been redacted from the copy of the report released to the media Friday.
Fischbach said there is no question the incident clearly damaged Johnson's friendships with others in the unit.
"Now, that trust has been fractured – and not just a small hairline crack, but a severe fracture," Fischbach said.
But the two soldiers still think it's a stretch to think that what happened in Afghanistan ultimately led Johnson to attack police officers in Dallas.
"You take that to, 'I want to kill white police officers.' How do you tie those things together? It's inconceivable," Wallace said.

Today, George Marco applies his expertise to an ever-widening scope of activities supporting DIANA Group in its strategic move to the Aquafeed industry and strives to develop global R&D, know-how and industrial partnerships.
This interview appeared in the September October 2012 edition of International Aquafeed magazine
What are the greatest challenges the aquaculture industry is facing at the moment?The first challenge is to be able to follow the market demand for fish, which is around seven percent per year and is expected to follow at least this trend in the future. This demand will be boosted even more by the middle-class increase the Asian markets.
To meet this demand the aquaculture industry will have to increase production as well as improve productivity and work on three dimensions: genetics; better production practices including environmental considerations and; better feed performance.
For this last point, the challenge will be to find a way for fish meal/ fish oil reduction and/or removal in the formulations since fish meal/fish oil are and will be limited in terms of production. Besides the production matter, the market has been driving the industry toward more standards (traceability, quality, sustainability) requiring raw material meeting these expectations.
Can you tell us a bit more about your use of Hydrolyzate?First of all a Hydrolyzate is by definition a digested raw material meaning it will improve naturally the feed digestibility (meaning the FCR). A functional Hydrolyzate will contain bioactive peptides able to improve the overall physiological status of the animal by acting directly on some key physiological mechanism such as stress, guts performance, growth factors and taste perception.
As per my R&D engineer says, "Hydrolysis is the process which yields the maximum of bioactive peptides out of native proteins". These bioactive peptides will be produced only under the following conditions: selected raw material (not a mixed of different species); fresh raw material (temperature controlled) and; selected enzyme bioprocess controlled (temperature, time & pH).
How does it affect feed performance?
Thank to these bioactive compounds, the functional Hydrolyzate will bring to the feed formulation: a better physiological status of the animal; a higher digestibility and; a better feed consumption (taste perception). Therefore, a better growth and lower mortality along the production cycle. A 'concentrate of feed performance' which allows the feed manufacturer either to increase the performance of its existing feed or to keep the same performance while the feed formulation will be poor in fishmeal.
What others areas does Aquativ work in?Regarding the functional Hydrolyzate, the next move is to select these bioactive peptides and produce purified fractions which could be used in specific diets. As indicated the understanding of the physiological effect of our bioactive peptides assume being able to identify them as well as demonstrate their activity on the animal. For this purpose we have PhD and partnership with universities.
How DIANA Group is part of the 'blue revolution' supporting the aquaculture industry?Anticipating the needs of valuable protein and supported by AQUATIV development, DIANA Group, has invested a lot in the last few years in marine sourcing by establishing new operations worldwide and strategic partnerships.
DIANA Group's branding, R&D, performance demonstration and international network brings a 'go to the market' dimension to partnerships.
DIANA, through AQUATIV and its strategic partnerships, offers a unique diversified marine range of functional Hydrolyzate becoming a key procurement partner for the industry and is therefore part of the 'blue revolution'.

Politically Engaged Science: A Brownbag Lunch Series
Seminar | September 14 – December 21, 2017 every Thursday with exceptions | 12-1 p.m. | 103 Mulford Hall
Dept. of Environmental Science, Policy, and Mgmt. (ESPM)
This series challenges the notion that science and politics should not mix. Building on the March for Science and the People's Climate March, we'll discuss how research in the public interest can make an impact in a political environment dominated by corporate interests, from the major parties to the media.
Weekly discussions will focus on case studies of activist scientists, political debates featuring research, and contemporary examples of researchers' use of data analysis and scientific expertise to speak out on prominent issues. We will also collectively address broader questions:
How can researchers maintain credibility and legitimacy in the face of political opposition? What happens when political intellectuals disagree? What about "objectivity" and "post-truth"?
How should scientists and researchers interface with grassroots activism?
How do accusations of politicization of science relate to the political interests of dominant forces in government, military, and industry?
How should scientific research account for the differential impacts of environmental, economic or other crises on people based on their race, ethnicity, gender and class?
What approaches to social and political change are available to scientists and researchers beyond electoral politics?
We welcome any interested members of our campus community to participate, whether students, staff, faculty. Our goal is to provide a forum to think through the challenges to and opportunities for politically engaged science, and hopefully build a foundation upon which future projects, groups, and initiatives can grow.
*Contact email@example.com to stay in the loop if you cant attend.

Who would have thought that in a year that includes an Avengers movie and a Star Wars movie that Jurassic World would have been the biggest movie of the year….so far? Jurassic World is one of the best monster movies I've seen in awhile. I was alone in thinking this however. Sean liked it but has it behind Furious 7, Avengers and Mad Max this year. In my opinion only Mad Max is better and more fun. Then there's Josh who couldn't not watch it as a scientific drama rather than a monster movie. His loss.
We also take a look at Kyle Smith's article on how women can't possibly comprehend Goodfellas. Obviously we disagree with him however what offends us more than his unintentionally sexist theme is his offensive take on Goodfellas comparing it to Entourage. Fuck you Kyle Smith.
The I Hate Critics podcast has been asked to be a part of Lebowski Fest in Milwaukee Wisconsin the weekend of Aug 21 and 22nd. Please if you're in the area we'd love to hang out and get to know some of you.
