View From The Top + 10
They were in The Avengers together, but not really. It's been 10 years since View From The Top. Is that all? I feel like my G would want it to be longer. So that she/we could forget.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo worked together on View From The Top. And they worked together again on Thanks For Sharing which will finally be released in September so… I guess that's why Vanity Fair is profiling/maybe slam-piecing her?
G once said of her role in View From The Top that:
"I'm in underwear for half the movie."
Well, she's in her underwear in Thanks For Sharing too.
I just downloaded View From The Top on my iPad to watch on the plane. It's been a while. Christina Applegate is in it too. You know, Christina Applegate made The Sweetest Thing with Cameron Diaz the year before. The Sweetest Thing is not exactly a cinematic achievement. But I realised the other day that it's actually not a bad TV movie. So, like, perfect for in-flight viewing.
Anyway, a trailer for Thanks For Sharing has just been released. This is the movie G shot in New York with her body all tight in workout gear, remember? Ruffalo, our beloved, is a recovering sex addict. She's recovering from a relationship with an alcoholic. It looks like P!nk and Josh Gad will steal this movie, if you can pay attention to anything other than Mark's sexy raspy voice.
Thanks For Sharing is from the filmmakers who brought us The Kids Are Alright. That's good. But this trailer, this trailer isn't demonstrating that this film is on the same level. Even if Mark Ruffalo is in it!?! How can it be? Well, it's not like you'll blame him for it. That's the benefit to everyone else when my G is around. When my G is around, everyone escapes unscathed. She eats it for them all, regardless whether or not she deserves it.

Today we'd like to share this adorable success story from two Zooskers in New Mexico. Congrats Brenda and Oliver! We're so thrilled for the two of you!
I want to thank Zoosk for finding the love of my life. I joined Zoosk and was looking through my matches and answering ice breakers when I came across Oliver's profile. I was instantly attracted and answered his ice breaker too! Oliver responded the next day. I had just about given up after years of chat lines and online dating services. Thank God I joined Zoosk! We are so happy and true love does exist and it is only an message away.
My brother joined Zoosk after seeing how happy Oliver and I are. True love does happen when you least expect it. I had pretty much given up on finding my soul mate, but we knew it was love the first time we saw each other in person. Thank you Zoosk for letting us find each other.
-Brenda B. from New Mexico
Adorable adorable adorable. Do you have a success story to share? Send it to success [at] zoosk [dot] com and we'll happily share it for you!

WILLIAMSTOWN, N.J.—COPS Monitoring recently hired Joe Parisi to its leadership team as director of project management. Parisi has more than 20 years of alarm industry experience and will play a key role on the company's management team by leading technological projects related to COPS' network of monitoring centers, the company said.
"The last two years have been very dynamic for us," Jim McMullen, president and COO of COPS, said in the announcement. "As a result of our sustained growth, we believe it's best to narrow the areas of responsibility of executives to ensure we maintain high quality support and throughput from their respective departments."
Parisi's new role of director of project management is a newly created position, designed specifically for his skill sets, according to COPS. Key areas of the job will include facilities, alarm receiving equipment, and telephone system infrastructure. Parisi will also oversee the COPS technical support team that is designed to support COPS' alarm dealer customers in troubleshooting communications related to signal transmissions.
Parisi will also spearhead large-scale initiatives such as facility expansions/updates, infrastructure upgrades, and other special projects, including the imminent launch of COPS' Mobile Personal Emergency Response System division.
McMullen explained that the restructuring strengthens further its management team as it "adds depth to the bench." Parisi is one of three competent and focused leaders in COPS' technical department who help position COPS and its customers for the future.
"My career in the United States Marine Corps has been the foundation of my technical and leadership skills that have been instrumental behind my successful 20-year career in the security industry," Parisi said in a prepared statement. "My extensive electronics training in avionics lead to an electrical engineering degree from Rochester Institute of Technology. I joined Radionics [now Bosch] after graduation as a Research and Development Engineer. I was fortunate to be a part of the team of engineers who developed the state-of-the art D6600 central station receiver utilized by today's leading monitoring companies."
Parisi is a Security Systems News "20 under 40" award winner, Class of 2013.
After his time with Radionics, Parisi shifted his focus of expertise to wholesale monitoring where he integrated new technology, trained operations personnel and field support, and converted central stations onto a single platform.
He has also volunteered with the Electronic Security Association. "I had the pleasure of leading the New Jersey Chapter as President of the New Jersey Electronic Security Association (NJESA), now one of the largest chapters in the country," Parisi said. As NJESA president, the national ESA recognized Parisi as 2013 Chapter President of the Year at the Leadership Awards.
Security Systems News is excited to announce the education program for our TechSec Solutions conference, Feb. 25-26, 2019, in Delray Beach, Fla., at the Delray Beach Marriott.
This year's TechSec Solutions' theme—Securing a Connected World—looks at how new technologies are being used in real-life scenarios and how they are leveraged by security professionals—integrators, consultants, manufacturers and end users—to provide cost-efficient and highly effective security services and solutions, all for the betterment of the entire security industry.
Last year, attendees gave the program strong marks, with 100 percent of attendees who completed our evaluation saying they "Would recommend TechSec to others" and "TechSec exceeded or met their expectations."
Some of the highlights of this year's program include two keynote speakers. On day one, Bill Bozeman, CEO and president, PSA Security, will deliver an Integrator State of the Union, giving a unique glimpse at the key technology trends impacting integrators and the industry today, while looking at which ones have the greatest potential and present the greatest challenges moving forward. And on day two, Rob Simopoulos, founder and president, Defendify, will present Cyber and Security: Together, a Shared Vision, looking at how physical and cybersecurity are coming together like never before, creating both challenges and opportunities.
In addition to two stellar keynotes, this year's Mega Panel to start day two brings leaders from the industry's top associations—the Security Industry Association (SIA), ASIS International and the Electronic Security Association (ESA)—together with keynote speaker Bozeman, head of the world's largest system integration collaborative, to look at the current state of the industry, new trends and technologies that are impacting, disrupting and shaping the industry, and what the more successful companies are doing to stay relevant and profitable.
In support of this year's theme, there are two sessions looking at "Securing a Connected World," as well as sessions on securing, storing and leveraging data, and one on protecting critical infrastructure featuring Colby Meshey and James Ell from the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, who will join Kevin Didden, senior manager, Security Programs and Administration, MTA Bridges and Tunnels, and Joe Morgan, Business Development Manager for Critical Infrastructure, Axis Communications.
Plus, Gretchen Gordon, president and sales team transformation expert, Braveheart Sales Performance is presenting "How to Train and Retain a Tech-Savvy Sales Force" on day one. In this session, Gordon will explain how security companies, integrators and manufacturers can improve sales performance, giving attendees an effective strategy on hiring and retention, while showing them the importance of adapting to stay profitable and relevant.
And, as always, one of the highlights of the conference is the "20 under 40" Award Reception on the evening of day one, where this year's class of 2018 winners will receive their awards and just have some fun by the pool. There will be several winners, both previous winners such as Simopoulos, and current winners, including TechSec Speakers Meshey (Pentagon), Didden (MTA) and Josh Cummings, director, Engineering Services, VTI Security, to name just a few.
All told, this year's program has something for everyone. We hope to see you in Delray Beach Feb. 25-26.

ATLANTA—Apartment Guide, a resource for renters and part of the digital marketing solutions company RentPath, recently published a blog highlighting security as an amenity many renters are looking for.
The blog included data from RentPath surveys including an "online, blind survey of 2,000 renters … conducted by Egg Strategy in conjunction with RentPath in 2017, with the final analysis completed in February 2018," and an "online, blind survey of 750 renters conducted by RentPath Research between November 10 – December 4, 2017." In addition, the blog referenced The 2017 Kingsley Nationwide Renter Report, which was conducted in July 2017 in partnership with the National Multifamily Housing Council and surveying 269,332 renters.
Angie Amon, director of research for RentPath, talked with Security Systems News about the trends among these reports. "People are looking for their home. It's not a car that they're going to rent for a few days, or even a car they're going to buy that they could easily get rid of if it didn't work out. It's their home, and the things that they're trying to do is make it feel like home. They want to feel safe, they want to feel secure … and that it's not a hassle to live there," Amon said.
RentPath distributed surveys to people seeking apartments, specifically renters that were open to developments with 50 or more units. "We really drilled down into a specific segment of renter population," Amon said.
Despite prompting survey takers to "think big" and be imaginative, many still put emphasis on practical conveniences like having a washer and dryer in their unit, Amon said.
RentPath also asked survey respondents to select an item that most interested them and one that least interested them out of larger groups. "Out of that came the gated access, the security measure," Amon said, and this group was the highest at 35 percent. "That was the number one 'most interested' thing that people mentioned, and had the fewest votes of 'least interested' in."
The company recognized another trend of people looking for app-controlled door locks, rating at 25 percent.
Property managers and companies could benefit from emphasizing the security measures at their properties, according to Amon. "It comes up over and over and over again in both the quantitative and the qualitative work that we do, where people talk about wanting to be in a safe area. And they define that in different ways, some of it has to do with what security measures are at the property … others define it by what kind of activity is going on in the area."
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has identified and announced the 2019 Security Megatrends—the foundation of SIA's signature yearly report defining the major trends and forces at play in the global security industry.
Forecasting of 2019's top 10 Security Megatrends was based on survey data generated in September and October 2018 from top security industry business leaders, association leadership and key volunteers and speakers for Securing New Ground (SNG), the security industry's executive conference, which is being held this week, Oct. 25-26, in New York City.
These trends—the top factors influencing both short- and long-term change in the global security industry—are expected to have sweeping impact on almost all businesses within the industry.
Cybersecurity was identified in the 2019 report as the standout trend shaping the security industry. By nearly 30 percentage points, industry leaders said cybersecurity's impact on physical security solutions was the most impactful trend they were expecting to face in 2019. A resounding number of respondents also called for artificial intelligence (AI) to be recognized as a megatrend, noting that AI is becoming vital to supporting the heightened volume of data produced by modern security solutions.
Other new Security Megatrends emerging for 2019 include workforce development, the emphasis on data privacy, advancements in digital identity and the integration of security into smart environments like smart buildings and smart cities.
The 2019 Security Megatrends are:• Cybersecurity Impact on Physical Security• Internet of Things (IoT) and the Big Data Effect• Cloud Computing• Workforce Development• AI• Emphasis on Data Privacy• Move to Service Models• Security Integrated in Smart Environments• Advanced Digital Identities• Impact of Consumer Electronics Companies
"Today, modern physical security solutions are comprised of IoT devices and sensors that generate high volumes of security data. Applying analytics and artificial intelligence systems makes this data more actionable and increases responsiveness for security systems users," SIA chairman of the board Scott Schafer said in the announcement. "Cybersecurity continues to be at the top of the list of the most important trends identified by security industry manufacturers, systems integrators, security practitioners, architects and engineers, and SIA will continue to address this trend over the next year and in the foreseeable future."
In addition to defining the latest Security Megatrends, the forecast for 2019 also identifies other forces at play in the security industry that may have a noticeable impact on some or all businesses, and the research identifies three potential areas of business disruption the security industry may face in 2019.
The official 2019 Security Megatrends report will be published in late November 2018 and available online for download and/or purchase. The 2018 Security Megatrends report is currently available to all members and non-members.
Each year at SNG, senior-level industry leaders and financial partners gather, trends are spotted, connections are formed and minds are opened. In addition to highlighting these Security Megatrends, SNG 2018 will feature keynote remarks by Jerome Pickett, senior vice president and chief security officer at the National Basketball Association, and Valerie Thomas, executive information security consultant at Securicon, and panel discussions on topics like the shift from smart cities to conscious cities, harnessing cyber-physical security technologies and how the changing residential security market is staying nimble.
Avigilon Corporation, a Motorola Solutions company, recently announced that its Avigilon Blue cloud platform is now integrated with SureView Systems Immix CS and Immix CC software, which will support professional video monitoring.
The Avigilon Blue cloud platform features patented self-learning video analytics that detect movements of people and vehicles and generate an alarm with a short video clip, allowing central station operators to more efficiently verify and respond to potentially critical events. The integration with Immix CS and Immix CC software will feature alarms with live and recorded video as well as audio transmission, the announcement noted.
"Video analytics-based alarm management will enable central stations to manage significantly more cameras and sites with fewer resources and help provide faster response to events, which ultimately creates a better monitoring experience for both the central stations and the end users," Ryan Nolan, senior vice president of business operations at Avigilon, said in the announcement. "With our advanced video analytics, the Avigilon Blue platform integrated with SureView software will provide our customers with a single point of control for security response and coordination."
The Avigilon Blue integration with SureView Immix CS and Immix CC software is expected to be available in November 2018, the announcement noted.
"At SureView, we develop a powerful monitoring platform to improve customers' ability to manage and respond to security events," Simon Morgan, CTO at SureView Systems, said in a prepared statement. "With Avigilon Blue's exceptionally accurate analytics and low false alarms, this new integration will further enhance the operational efficiency and value of professional monitoring services."
HENDERSON, Nev.—I-View Now, provider of a cloud-based video monitoring platforms for central stations, recently announced an updated and improved integration with monitoring center automation software platform partner MASterMind.
This updated integration improves signaling by utilizing a dedicated MASrecv I-View Now Receiver. Built in conjunction with MAS, these processes employ dedicated and proprietary signal types and signal formats which provide richer contextual information and video, the company said.
"We are thrilled to further our partnership with MASterMind and offer these enhanced features to monitoring stations and their customers. This integration enables the distribution of better information to end users, operators, and first responders," Larry Folsom, president of I-View Now, said in the announcement. "We're very proud of this integration allowing for true collaboration between all parties. Our ultimate goal is to catch the bad guy more often, while greatly reducing unwanted false alarm dispatches."
The MASterMind Auto-Notification and Verification Interface with I-View Now integration provides mobile verification to central station customers. This process allows the end user to cancel the alarm, request dispatch, and call the monitoring center.
"A key value at MAS has always been to help alarm monitoring stations streamline their dispatching processes and provide better service to their customers," Shin Voeks, general manager for MAS, said in a prepared statement. "The MASterMind integration with I-View enables users to conveniently cancel or confirm an alarm using their mobile devices, and allows monitoring stations to respond to alarms more effectively."
A new benchmarking study of the cybersecurity practices and initiatives of global organizations provides insight into the cyber landscape today and moving forward over the next few years. The study, called The Cybersecurity Imperitive, was produced in partnership with ESI ThoughtLab and WSJ Pro Cybersecurity and is sponsored by Security Industry Association (SIA) and several other partners.
"As validated by SIA's just-released 2019 Security Megatrends—highlighting the top factors influencing both short- and long-term change in the global security industry—security companies see cybersecurity as the dominant trend shaping the industry," SIA CEO Don Erickson said in an email announcing the study. "Having these clear benchmarks around cybersecurity not only facilitates the advancement of cybersecurity within your own organizations, but it also allows firms like yours to deliver appropriate solutions to your customers."
One key finding in the study is that digital transformation is exposing companies to higher and more costly cyber risks. For example, those whose cybersecurity practices do not keep pace with their digital transformation initiatives are more likely to see $1 million or more in losses from cyberattacks. The research showed that cyber risks rise dramatically as companies embrace new technologies, adopt open platforms and tap ecosystems of partners and suppliers.
"Companies need to make sure that their cybersecurity programs keep pace with their digital transformation effort," Lou Celi, CEO of ESI ThoughtLab and director of the study, said in the announcement. "Cybersecurity should not be an afterthought. It needs to be integrated into the fabric of an organization's growth strategy."
According to the study, there will be an increase in cyber-threat vectors by 2020, including:• Attacks through partners, customers and vendors (247% growth)• Supply chains (+146%)• Denial of service (+144%)• Apps (+85%)• Embedded systems (84%)
Surveyed companies see high risks from external threat actors, such as unsophisticated hackers (cited by 59% of firms), cybercriminals (57%) and social engineers (44%), but the greatest threat lies with untrained general staff (87%). Another 57 percent of firms see data sharing with partners and vendors as their main IT vulnerability. Nonetheless, only 17 percent of companies have made significant progress in training staff and partners on cybersecurity awareness.
The study also cites the leading cyber-threat vectors in 2018, which are:• Malware (81%)• Phishing (64%)• Ransomware (63%)• Viruses (62%)• Attacks from Apps (62%)
Another key finding is companies are boosting their cybersecurity investments. To cope with rising cyber risks, surveyed companies are increasing their cybersecurity investment by 7 percent this year and 14 percent next year. The biggest upsurge will come from platform companies, which are hiking their spending 59 percent this year and 64 percent next year. On average, companies with revenue between $250 million and $1 billion will spend $2.9 million next year; $1-5 billion ($5.7 million); $5-20 billion ($10.7 million); and $20 billion+ ($16.8 million).
According to the study, companies now use a variety of technologies to improve cybersecurity, such as multi-factor authentication (90%), blockchain (68%), Internet of Things (62%) and artificial intelligence (AI) (44%).
Security Systems News' Class of 2017 "20 under 40" winner Ryan Fritts, CISO, ADT, said, "We are using AI in our access and entitlement management to analyze the behaviors of end-users and determine whether or not their behaviors are risky."
Over the next two years, studied firms indicated they plan to greatly expand the use of the following technology solutions:• Behavioral analytics (+1,735%)• Smart grid technologies (+831%)• Deception technology (+684%)• Hardware security and resilience (+114%)
The study also found that as corporate cybersecurity systems mature, the probability of costly cyberattacks declines. Cybersecurity beginners have a 21.1-percent probability of cyberattacks generating over $1 million in losses versus 16.1 percent for intermediates and 15.6 percent for leaders.
"Security is a holistic discipline. You need to manage both physical and cyber risks," Joseph Gittens, SIA director of standards, and Cybersecurity Imperative study advisor, said in a prepared statement. "You could have the best physical security ever—guards, gates, guns and surveillance—but if someone can access your network from the comfort of their living room, it's not doing anything. The reverse is true as well. You could have a ton of cybersecurity but fail to lock down your physical space."
OGDEN, Utah—Last week, on Oct. 3, there was a test of the Presidential Alert system, which went out to televisions and radio as well as mobile phones. AvantGuard Monitoring, based here, noticed that there was a spike of false alarms—including glass break sensors and PERS button presses—linked to the test.
"Oftentimes, [when] we see a spike in a certain kind of alarms, they're related to a storm or a localized natural disaster, and it generally affects a certain type of alarm like a security [system]," Justin Bailey, AvantGuard's president and COO, told SSN. A simultaneous spike in security and PERS was very unusual for the company, he added.
The alert's tone happened to match the frequency that some glass break sensors look for, AvantGuard said in an announcement, which caused the sensors to send false alarms. "It was a unique event for us. … As we started looking to see a common causality on the security side, an unusual number of alarms were [triggered by] glass break sensors. It's not uncommon to have one of them in the buffer at the scale we have," Bailey said. AvantGuard's monitoring centers received about 70 glass break alarms that it can link to the presidential alert.
A member of AvantGuard's team recognized the coincidence in the time of the alarms and the presidential alert, according to Bailey. "When you get a drop of signals, you know something is going on, because of the scale of how many alarms we received in that short time frame," he said. "It was … part of our troubleshooting process to find commonalities and then get into causality. It was really just our good monitoring center leadership team that made that connection."
AvantGuard received about 100 PERS alarms related to the presidential alert, as some seniors with PERS devices heard the sound of the alert and didn't know what the alert tone was or if it was coming from their PERS device. "It was a matter of just talking to the subscribers as we connected to the two-way and—once we determined that they were ok—asking why it was that they had pushed their buttons," Bailey said.
AvantGuard developed a system to address alarms that were likely false. "With the suspect alarms, we were able to partition them in a different queue, and then dedicate operators to work through those alarms that we believed were affected, allowing us to free up other operators to work alarms that we suspected … were actual, true alarms," Bailey said.
"The reason we caught it and handled it so well is because we've already been prepared to deal with situations like that. So, I think it makes us more aware of challenges living in a connected world," Bailey said.
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has named industry veteran Edwina (Eddie) Reynolds, president and CEO of Iluminar Inc., as the 2018 recipient of the inaugural SIA Progress Award, an honor presented by SIA's Women in Security Forum celebrating individuals who pave the way to success for women in the security industry. The award will be presented to Reynolds during SIA Honors Night on Wednesday, Nov. 14, in New York City, in conjunction with the ISC East conference and expo.
"I am truly humbled to be the first recipient of the SIA Progress Award, and I want to thank SIA for this incredible honor," Reynolds said in the award announcement. "I have been working in the security industry for over 25 years, and while challenges still exist, the industry has made a lot of progress, and I am committed to continuing to advocate for more equality and more diversity across the field. As influencers, leaders and companies across the security industry have a greater focus on the advancement of women, I believe we can truly empower women to be leaders and agents of change in their respective fields and shift the narrative in our industry."
Reynolds has been the founder and CEO of multiple established CCTV lighting companies. She began her security career as an account executive for U.K. integrator Chubb Fire & Security in the mid-1990s and went on to work for Pinkerton Security, Rainbow CCTV and Sony. From 2005 to 2008, Reynolds was the U.S. partner for a U.K.-based CCTV lighting company, and she founded Iluminar in 2009. Reynolds has led Iluminar to develop award-winning solutions and be the lighting solution partner for several market leaders. In 2018, she was appointed to the SIA Executive Council, where she works with other security leaders to launch initiatives that support the growth and advancement of the security industry at large.
"SIA is proud to present Eddie Reynolds with the first-ever SIA Progress Award for serving as a longtime advocate and role model for women in the security industry," Don Erickson, SIA's CEO, said in the announcement. "Mentorship and thought leadership are critical to helping women grow in this field, and we applaud Eddie for her dedicated involvement in the industry and contributing her expert insight, knowledge and advice."
Reynolds has been a longtime supporter of initiatives to support the advancement of women and overall diversity in the security and technology industries. As part of these efforts, she traveled to the University of Arkansas on behalf of the International Organization of Black Security Executives in early 2018 to speak to students about career development skills and job opportunities within the industry.
Reynolds recently contributed to the first women-authored issue of SIA Technology Insights with an article on the importance of external illumination systems when lighting for video surveillance and will speak on a women's panel at ISC West 2019, coming up April 10-12 in Las Vegas, Nev.
In addition to presenting the SIA Progress Award, SIA will honor industry leaders at Honors Night 2018 with the George R. Lippert Memorial Award, the Insightful Practitioner Award, the Jay Hauhn Excellence in Partnerships Award and the Women in Biometrics Award. SIA will also honor the 2018 recipients of the SIA RISE Scholarship and the inaugural Denis R. Hebert Identity Management Scholarship.
Editor's Note: Security Systems News is excited but not surprised to see Reynolds honored in this way, as SSN featured her in our annual Women in Security issue in 2016. You can read the profile here. And speaking on women in security, if you know of a woman who is making a difference in the industry, we would love to highlight her in our December Women in Security issue. Emails can be sent to: [email protected].

First publication date: June 2005.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an evolution of distributed computing based on the request/reply design paradigm for synchronous and asynchronous applications. An application's business logic or individual functions are modularized and presented as services for consumer/client applications. What's key to these services is their loosely coupled nature; i.e., the service interface is independent of the implementation. Application developers or system integrators can build applications by composing one or more services without knowing the services' underlying implementations. For example, a service can be implemented either in .Net or J2EE, and the application consuming the service can be on a different platform or language.
The benefit of SOA is its platform-neutral approach and better interoperability between web services. This article is an overview of SOA, including some tools and protocols used when building web services.
Service-oriented architectures have the following key characteristics:
- SOA services have self-describing interfaces in platform-independent XML documents; the standard used to describe the services is WSDL, or Web Services Description Language.
- SOA services communicate with messages formally defined via XML Schema, or XSD. Communication among consumers and providers or services typically happens in heterogeneous environments, with little or no knowledge about the provider. Messages between services can be viewed as key business documents processed in an enterprise.
- SOA services are maintained in the enterprise by a registry that acts as a directory listing. Applications can look up the services in the registry and invoke the service. Universal Description, Definition, and Integration (UDDI) is the standard used for service registry.
- Each SOA service has a quality of service (QoS) associated with it. Some of the key QoS elements are security requirements, such as authentication and authorization, reliable messaging, and policies regarding who can invoke services.
Why SOA?
IT enterprise infrastructure is heterogeneous across operating systems, applications, system software, and application infrastructure. Some existing applications are used to run current business processes, so starting from scratch to build new infrastructure isn't an option. Enterprises should quickly respond to business changes with agility; leverage existing investments in applications and application infrastructure to address newer business requirements; support new channels of interactions with customers, partners, and suppliers; and feature an architecture that supports organic business. SOA with its loosely coupled nature allows enterprises to plug in new services or upgrade existing services in a granular fashion to address the new business requirements, provides the option to make the services consumable across different channels, and exposes the existing enterprise and legacy applications as services, thereby safeguarding existing IT infrastructure investments.
As in Figure 1's example, an enterprise employing SOA could create a supply chain composite application using a set of existing applications that expose the functionality via standard interfaces.
Service architecture
To implement SOA, enterprises need a service architecture, an example of which is shown in Figure 2.
In Figure 2, several service consumers can invoke services by sending messages. These messages are typically transformed and routed by a service bus to an appropriate service implementation. This service architecture can provide a business rules engine that allows business rules to be incorporated in a service or across services. The service architecture also provides a service management infrastructure that manages services and activities like auditing, billing, and logging. In addition, the architecture offers enterprises the flexibility of having agile business processes, better addresses the regulatory requirements like Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), and changes individual services without affecting other services.
SOA infrastructure
To run and manage SOA applications, enterprises need an SOA infrastructure that is part of the SOA platform. An SOA infrastructure must support all the relevant standards and required runtime containers. A typical SOA infrastructure looks like Figure 3. The following sections discuss the infrastructure's individual pieces.
As of this writing, WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP are the fundamental pieces of the SOA infrastructure. WSDL is used to describe the service; UDDI, to register and look up the services; and SOAP, as a transport layer to send messages between service consumer and service provider. While SOAP is the default mechanism for web services, alternative technologies accomplish other types of bindings for a service. A consumer can search for a service in the UDDI registry, get the WSDL for the service that has the description, and invoke the service using SOAP.
WS-I Basic Profile
WS-I Basic Profile, provided by the Web services Interoperability Organization, is turning into another core piece required for service testing and interoperability. Service providers can use the Basic Profile test suites to test a service's interoperability across different platforms and technologies.
Java EE and .Net
Though the Java EE and .Net platforms are the dominant development platforms for SOA applications, SOA is not by any means limited to these platforms. Platforms such as Java EE not only provide the framework for developers to naturally participate in the SOA, but also, by their inherent nature, bring a mature and proven infrastructure for scalability, reliability, availability, and performance to the SOA world. Specifications such as Java API for XML Binding (JAXB), used for mapping XML documents to Java classes, Java API for XML Registry (JAXR), used for interacting with the UDDI registries in a standard manner, and Java API for XML-based Remote Procedure Call (XML-RPC), used for invoking remote services in Java EE 1.4 facilitate the development and deployment of web services that are portable across standard J2EE containers, while simultaneously interoperating with services across other platforms such as .Net.
Quality of services
Existing mission-critical systems in enterprises address advanced requirements such as security, reliability, and transactions. As enterprises start adopting service architecture as a vehicle for developing and deploying applications, basic web services specifications like WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI aren't going to fulfill these advanced requirements. As mentioned previously, these requirements are also known as quality of services. Numerous specifications related to QoS are being worked out in standards bodies like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). Sections below discuss some of the QoS artifacts and related standards.
The Web Services Security specification addresses message security. This specification focuses on credential exchange, message integrity, and message confidentiality. The attractive thing about this specification is it leverages existing security standards, such as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), and allows the usage of these standards to secure web services messages. Web Services Security is an ongoing OASIS effort.
In a typical SOA environment, several documents are exchanged between service consumers and service providers. Delivery of messages with characteristics like once-and-only-once delivery, at-most-once delivery, duplicate message elimination, guaranteed message delivery, and acknowledgment become important in mission-critical systems using service architecture. WS-Reliability and WS-ReliableMessaging are two standards that address the issues of reliable messaging. Both these standards are now part of OASIS.
Service providers sometimes require service consumers to communicate with certain policies. As an example, a service provider may require a Kerberos security token for accessing the service. These requirements are defined as policy assertions. A policy may consist of multiple assertions. WS-Policy standardizes how policies are to be communicated between service consumers and service providers.
As enterprises embark on service architecture, services can be used to integrate silos of data, applications, and components. Integrating applications means that the process requirements, such as asynchronous communication, parallel processing, data transformation, and compensation, must be standardized. BPEL4WS or WSBPEL (Web Services Business Process Execution Language) is an OASIS specification that addresses service orchestration, where business processes are created using a set of discrete services. WSBPEL is now part of OASIS.
As the number of services and business processes exposed as services grow in the enterprise, a management infrastructure that lets the system administrators manage the services running in a heterogeneous environment becomes important. Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) will specify that any service implemented according to WSDM will be manageable by a WSDM-compliant management solution.
Other QoS attributes such as coordination between partners and transactions involving multiple services are being addressed in the WS-Coordination and WS-Transaction specifications, respectively, which are OASIS efforts as well.
Conclusion: Benefits of SOA
While the SOA concept is not new, SOA differs from existing distributed technologies in that most vendors accept it and have an application or platform suite that enables SOA. SOA, with a ubiquitous set of standards, brings better reusability of existing assets or investments in the enterprise and lets you create applications that can be built on top of new and existing applications. SOA enables changes to applications while keeping clients or service consumers isolated from evolutionary changes that happen in the service implementation. SOA enables upgrading individual services or services consumers; it is not necessary to completely rewrite an application or keep an existing system that no longer addresses the new business requirements. Finally, SOA provides enterprises better flexibility in building applications and business processes in an agile manner by leveraging existing application infrastructure to compose new services.

Just saw the Wasp Factory. Profoundly unsettling, deeply weird, and I'm not sure if I liked it, so I think it was a brilliant adaptation.

The Wasp Factory @RoyalOperaHouse was one of the most extraordinary and exciting performances that I have ever seen. Thoroughly recommended.

Wasp Factory the predictable box-ticking exercise. Also about 1 hr too long

Did the opera version of The Wasp Factory @RoyalOperaHouse *really* omit the crucial plot twist at the heart of the novel, or did I miss it?
— Rory Foster (@Rory_Foster) October 2, 2013
The Wasp Factory was easily the best piece of theatre I've seen. I've walked out feeling equally disturbed and turned on. I need a whisky.

Egypt on Tuesday urged U.S. authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri – echoing language Washington used to caution Egypt as it cracked down on Islamist protesters last year.
It is unusual for Egypt to criticize such a major donor, and it was not immediately clear why the government would have taken such a step.
Ties between Washington and Cairo were strained after Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters following the army's ousting of freely elected President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
Western allies have voiced concern about the democratic credentials of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the army chief who toppled Morsi and went on to win elections. The United States has, however, continued to provide military and other support to Cairo.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry's statement on the unrest in Ferguson read similarly to one issued by U.S. President Barack Obama's administration in July 2013, when the White House "urged security forces to exercise maximum restraint and caution" in dealing with demonstrations by Morsi supporters.
The ministry added it was "closely following the escalation of protests" in Ferguson, unleashed by the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white policeman on Aug. 9.
Human Rights Watch said in a report last week Egyptian security forces systematically used excessive force against Islamist protesters after Morsi was ousted. Egypt said the report was "characterized by negativity and bias".

You guys; You'll convince yourselves that a change in wind direction is a confirmation of Half-Life 3. Although this time we have to admit that it looks like Gabe Newell and his team might be giving us the old wink wink, nudge nudge.

The Korean text apparently translates as "The time is". Those dots, meanwhile, are supposed to represents our solar system of planets. Someone over at RLLMUK reckons they've cracked the code, and that it spells out September 26, 2013. Which also comes very close to Steam's 10th birthday.

Much to my surprise a truck pulled up in front of the dealership Friday with THIS!
(Crap iPhone pics will have to do for now!)
It was such a cool experience to get to check in and unwrap my own car. I had a bit of a hand in it with the TTS, but not like the A6.
Here she is right before the PDI after I just finished unwrapping her. (Suspension shipping blocks are still installed.)
By the end of Friday she was through PDI and had a basic clean-up. I took her for a breif maiden voyage that night...what a fun car to drive! I'll have to report back with more later. I didn't really want to have her on the road for very long without being properly detailed and protected (and INSURED!)
Finally, how cool is this night vision system with pedestrian highlighting?!

Oct. 10 Dusty Baker postgame interview
Q. What did you think about what Mike Leake gave you today in terms of effort?
DUSTY BAKER: Well, you know, he didn't start off very well in the first couple of innings, and then he settled down there.
For a couple of innings he threw the ball excellent. Those couple of innings and that one inning it only took four pitches to double, hit, another double. So he wasn't real sharp. He was getting the ball up in the middle of the plate. When he does that, general speaking, you know, like most pitchers, he gets hit. Usually his ball is down.
Like I said, he was throwing strikes. He wasn't walking them. He wasn't throwing quality strikes.
Q. Obviously coming home, is it hard to believe this series is 2-2?
DUSTY BAKER: It's probably hard for them to believe that we were up 2 0 out there. So they reversed on us what we did to them out there, and we have a big game, the rubber match, tomorrow. It won't matter, if we win tomorrow doesn't matter how many games you were up. But you know they're a quality team, and we knew it was going to be a fight when we got here.
Q. Looking forward to tomorrow, what do you say to the guys to get them fired back up, get them to get rid of the funk and move forward?
DUSTY BAKER: Yeah, it starts with the starting pitching. We feel comfortable with Latos throwing tomorrow. The main thing is we left a lot of runners on base early in the game. We had a lot of opportunities early. We had Barry Zito on the ropes quite a few times. So the main thing is just come out fightin'. That's what it's about. Tomorrow is the final fight.
Q. Did you think about taking Mike out the inning before you did?
DUSTY BAKER: Well, I mean, did you know it was going to happen during that time? You know what I mean? He was dealing during that time. You can always look back and say, hey, should you have taken him out at that time? But what if he had gone another two or three innings and dealt. It happened so quickly. You can't have somebody in the bullpen ready all the time. It takes time for the guys to warm up.
We had discussed it, but he was getting the ball down and he was getting outs. I mean, it's easy to look back now and say, yeah, you should have taken somebody out.
Q. As you look ahead to tomorrow with Mat, is there anybody else you would rather have on the mound for this decisive Game 5?
DUSTY BAKER: Well, nobody -- nobody present. You wish you had Johnny Cueto, but you don't. Right now, it's Mat's turn, and he's strong. He's on his regular turn unlike his last time out.

Friday (song)
Friday, a song written by Bob Dylan in 1963, is now considered one of the main freedom anthems penned in the 1960s. As with many of the songs of that era, the lyrics are a social commentary on the times, in this case America's Civil Rights Movement. Dylan sang Friday at his concerts during the sixties and throughout the seventies, and has called the song "one of my proudest achievements". Before his death Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. credited the song with "getting me out of bed in the morning", high praise indeed for Dylan's masterpiece.
The lyrics of Friday form a carefully structured commentary on the civil rights movement. Early in the song Dylan explores the philosophical roots of the movement when he refers to Mohandas Gandhi ("Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal" he says of the vegetarian activist, who owned only one bowl from which he ate his rice and other cereal grains). Gandhi's movements in the 1930s and '40s in India, as well as his well-written volumes detailing the art of nonviolence, inspired such 1960s leaders as Dr. King, Rev. James Bevel, Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette and many others.
At one point in the song Dylan implicitly compares the lack of African-American civil rights to the drudgery of the workweek. He implies that the days of oppression are almost behind them ("Yesterday was Thursday"). and states that the country is on the threshold of better times ("Today is Friday"). This, coupled with a call to continue organizing for equal rights ("Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs" and "Gotta get down on Friday") while looking forward to the more equitable and enjoyable times that lay ahead ("Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend"), allows Dylan to assure his listeners that the arrival of these times is inevitable, and that they will be lasting ("Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards. And I don't want this weekend to end.").
The song leads listeners through many of the events in the movement, starting with the brave actions of Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, who refused to give up their seats on buses in two separate incidents in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955 ("Kickin' in the front seat, Sittin' in the back seat, Gotta make up my mind, Which seat can I take?"), and shows the solidarity of the city's participants in that movement ("Gotta get down to the bus stop, Gotta catch my bus, and see my friends"). Directly preceding this last lyric is the phrasing "Everybody's Russian". Ms. Colvin, Ms. Parks, and the other activists of the time experienced white people as being in positions of power, and the term "Russian" was expertly used by Dylan as both an allusion to white skin - which Russians inevitably have - and the concept of "other than" that the cold war propaganda of the time propelled the Russians into, making them into a caricature to be feared and a people capable of a hidden power agenda.
In another well-known Friday lyric, Dylan points to the awakening of the nation's consciousness as well as to the speed at which social changes were taking place ("Seein' everything, the time is goin',") and then immediately switches to referencing the time-bomb used on the 16th Avenue Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963 ("Tickin' on and on") which killed four little girls. These deaths further empowered James Bevel and the immediate aftermath of the iconicly important 1963 Birmingham Movement, a movement which plays a further role in Dylan's compact lyrics, as outlined below.
The extraordinary line "7:45, drivin' on the highway. Cruisin' so fast, I want time to fly". is typical of Dylan's writing. In fourteen words he summarizes both the 1961 Freedom Rides, in which blacks rode buses to desegregate interstate transport throughout the Southern states, and the "flying" of the children of Birmingham, who were both propelled through the air by firehoses during their marches in 1963 and then flew against walls and desks when several of them were blown up in the church bombing mentioned above (the bomb exploded, of course, at 7:45 in the morning). As a result of the Birmingham campaign, the children's fearless actions, and their unexpected sacrifice, "time" indeed did "fly" (along with the children) as these events and the outcry surrounding them greatly sped up the onset of equal rights within the United States.
As Friday reaches several dramatic crescendos, the words "partying" and "fun" are repeated over and over. Dylan instinctively knew that when equal rights were fully obtained, blacks and whites would co-mingle cultures, art forms, dance steps, dating rituals, the use of illegal substances, and other ideas and experiences which would cross the racial membrane once the legal and social barriers fell. "Partying" and "Fun" describe these activities in two simple words and four common syllables, again showing Dylan's command of the language.
Due to the profound politically and socially relevant lyrics, the song was deeply unpopular in the American South. Yet Dylan made a point of playing it at his Southern concertswhile hanging upside down
, and his superstar influence within the music industry assured its broadcast over country music stations throughtout the south. These were Dylan's ways, as he later claimed in a 60 Minutes interview, of "rubbing it in and stickin' it in the eye of the racists".
Rebecca Black cover[edit]
In 2011 a young pop singer, appropriately named Rebecca Black, recorded Dylan's epic song. Her cover was quickly panned by critics - few of them old enough to be aware of its roots in the civil rights movement - for its heavy overuse of autotuning and its generic pop style. These elements made the lyrics seem repetitive and almost meaningless to most of the younger generation who didn't know the song's background and the importance of the civil rights movement to kick-start what's happening to this day. The quickness of Black's version provides a stark and not unappealing contrast to Dylan's slower and hauntingly beautiful original performance. However, the cover is widely acknowledged to have included one major improvement missing from the original: the black's viewpoint, ably represented here by the rapping debut of Snuggle Bunny Wilson.
"I took Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and Rev. James Lawson - who were both very influential in the activities of the 1950's and '60's - to meet with Rebecca," Dylan said in a Rolling Stone interview, "and she turned out to be a very intelligent and caring young woman. She knew the history of the era quite well, and said that she covered my song to honor the people who had given their very lives to the cause of civil rights. Black claimed that the autotuning, the speeding up of her voice, and several other audio tricks were added into the recording by her studio without her knowledge or consent. This is deplorable, and I intend to give the people responsible a good talking to when I'm in the neighborhood, telling them to 'make it up to the child by releasing the song and video as she recorded it, without all the doohickeys and jimmyrolls.'"
"Thank you Bob, and yes," Black said, "I purposely gave many shout-outs to the civil rights movement in my video, particularly when you see my friends and myself standing in the back seat of a fast moving car. The movement activists' standing up for their freedom, and us standing in the backseat of a speeding car driven by a drunken teenager, were both foolish things to do. But they and we survived to sing about it. This is the strength of the human spirit."
Ark Music Factory announced in April, 2011 that Black would release a remix to anticipate the holiday season, titled "Black Friday" in honor of the civil rights movement. In March 2011, Black sang an acoustic version of the song on ABC's Good Morning Jamaica, and has also promised to sing Friday in a duet with Dylan at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Birmingham Children's Crusade in 2013. "Both Bob and I hope Snuggle Bunny can join us," she said.

I've been an avid runner ever since I was forced to love the exercise as a member of the University of Louisville rowing team.
As we trained during the winter and spring, I would run just about anywhere in order to get into peak shape: around UofL's campus, the entire flight of stairs at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium (that one not by choice) and, of course, the scenic loop at Cherokee and Seneca Park.
As I'm preparing for the upcoming mini-marathon, however, this fickle weather has left me dreading the sport as I pound the monotonous track of a treadmill, anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring.
That anticipation was heightened even more last week, though, after viewing the "The Vision of a Generation: Photographs from The Parklands of Floyds Fork†exhibit presented by 21st Century Parks and The Green Building.
In case you haven't heard, The Parklands of Floyds Fork is a new 4,000-acre park system combining Beckley Creek Park, Pope Lick Park, Turkey Run Park and Broad Run Park by a park drive, urban trail system and a 22-mile water trail, all tracing the Kentucky stream, Floyds Fork.
The Parklands isn't expected to be complete until 2014, but while we wait for the grand opening, three photographers chose to offer a snapshot of the project in progress.
In 2007, the idea to create the photo gallery occurred when Chairman and CEO of 21st Century Parks, Dan Jones, met with Ted Wathen and John Nation for a tour of The Parklands.
Witnessing the magnificent scenery, Wathen then proposed to document the landscape during and after construction, and soon fellow Louisville-based photographer, Bob Hower, joined in on the action.
Now, thirty-six photographs from a collection of more than 2,000 shots taken over the last four years can be seen inside The Green Building, 732 E. Market St.
There you'll find breathtaking views of the flora and fauna found throughout the park.
As I walked through the gallery, I kept wishing away these unpredictable last few weeks of winter so I could head back outside and begin training for the mini inside the park.
Running the trails isn't all there is to look forward to, though. Canoeing, paddling, playgrounds, fishing and soccer are among a variety of features coming to the park system. Even better, a portion of the project is already open for exploring, which I'll definitely be doing as soon as some 70 degree weather returns regularly.
To capture a glimpse of The Parklands, head to the gallery exhibit before its closing on Friday, April 27. For more information, visit www.theparklands.org
 and www.thegreenbuilding.net.
