Microsoft's federated identity platform passed its first SAML 2.0 interoperability test with favorable marks, signaling the end to the vendor's standoff against the protocol.
The eight-week multivendor interoperability workout conducted by the Liberty Alliance and the Kantara Initiative also resulted in passing marks for two other first-time entrants -- SAP and Siemens. Return testers Entrust, IBM, Novell, and Ping Identity also passed. Results were announced Wednesday.
[ Related: Microsoft's single sign-on platform was formerly named Geneva. | Learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
11 security companies to watch
"The Liberty Interoperable testing was a great opportunity to verify that Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) 2.0 is interoperable with others' SAML 2.0 implementations. This should give our customers confidence that their federation deployments using ADFS will 'just work,'" says Conrad Bayer, product unit manager for federated identity at Microsoft.
In the past, Microsoft has been dismissive of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), a standard protocol for exchanging authentication and authorization data between and among security checkpoints, preferring the WS-Federation and other protocols it helped develop. The company previously supported the SAML token, but never the transport profiles of the protocol.
"It is significant that Microsoft participated given their previous stance on the SAML protocol," says Gerry Gebel, an analyst with the Burton Group. "For the first product version that supports SAML, they have covered the core bases."
Microsoft's interoperability testing focused on SAML's Service Provider Lite, Identity Provider Lite and eGovernment profiles. The company says it plans to support other SAML profiles based on demand.
The interoperability event featured the largest group of participants ever for the testing, which has been run twice previously. In addition, it was the first test to include an international group to test the eGovernment SAML 2.0 profile v1.5. The test featured the United States, New Zealand and Denmark.
"The fact that we were able to put so many new implementations through a full matrix, rigorous interoperability test speaks to the maturity of the SAML 2 protocol," says Brett McDowell, executive director of the Kantara Initiative. "And it is not just implementation; there is a tremendous amount of deployments."
"Full matrix" testing means all participants must test against each other. The test was conducted over the Internet from points around the globe using real-world scenarios between service providers and identity providers as defined by the SAML 2.0 specification.
Microsoft participated in the testing with Active Directory Federation Services 2.0 (formerly code-named Geneva), which is slated to ship later this year. ADFS 2.0 is part of a larger identity platform that includes Windows Identity Foundation and Windows Cardspace.
Microsoft said earlier this year it would have SAML 2.0 certification before it released Geneva. The SAML profiles ADFS 2.0 supports cover the core features of federation.
ADFS 2.0 provides identity information and serves as a Security Token Service (STS), a transformation engine that is key to Microsoft's identity architecture. ADFS lets companies extend Active Directory to create single sign-on between local network resources and cloud services.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for Microsoft, however, as some participants reported problems using Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 for SAML single sign-on, which is primarily a Web browser action.
The issue was noted in a report by the Drummond Group, which conducted the testing, and centered on long URL values mostly when encryption was enabled during specific operations. Internet Explorer does not accept URLs longer than 2,083 characters. Testers got around the issue by using other browsers. Microsoft tested against IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.2.
While Microsoft's participation was an important milestone for the advancement of SAML, McDowell says the current testing is significant on other fronts.
The test marks a transition with the Kantara Initiative now taking over future tests. The group will adopt the Liberty Alliance testing methods and expand the scope of tests to include other protocols in addition to SAML. And it will build off the eGovernment profile testing as new profiles for other vertical markets, including healthcare and telecommunications, are developed.
"Having countries come together and agree on a deployment profile, that is not to be understated," McDowell says. The level of cooperation between governments will serve as a model for other industries, he says.
In addition, next year Kantara will pick two other protocols to test from a list made up of WS-Security, Information Card, Identity Metasystem Interoperability, OAuth, and XRD.
Kantara also will take cues from Project Concordia and eventually begin to test cross-protocol interoperability.
The next Kantara interoperability test is slated for next year.

New Study: Nectar-drinking Traits in Bats Evolved More Than Once main content.
by AMNH on
Contradictory explanations for the evolution of nectar-drinking in a diverse group of bats have long puzzled scientists, but new research led by the American Museum of Natural History and Stony Brook University provides a clear answer.
The conflicting explanations come from two different types of data. Genetic data suggest that nectar feeding evolved twice in New World leaf-nosed bats whereas earlier analyses of the bats' anatomy point to a single origin of nectar feeding. These bats are found in Central and South America and, uniquely among bats, eat nectar, fruit, frogs, lizards, and blood.
The research team was led by Andrea Cirranello, a postdoctoral research associate at the Museum, and included Nancy Simmons, a curator in the Division of Vertebrate Zoology. The researchers found that the single-origin explanation—which was based on analyses of certain anatomical features linked with feeding, such as the shape and number of teeth, a "paintbrush"-type tongue tip, and a rearrangement of the tongue muscles to accommodate longer, extensible tongues—is wrong.
By analyzing evolutionary trees from two genomic data sets alongside trees based on more than 200 anatomical traits, and by applying a battery of statistical approaches to identify where in these evolutionary trees the conflicts arose, the scientists determined that a specialized diet of nectar-feeding independently helped shape the anatomy of two lineages of New World leaf-nosed nectar bats.
"We found that anatomical traits associated with nectar feeding had evolved and been lost several times, not just in the lineages leading to the two major living groups of nectar feeders, but within groups of nectar feeders as well," Cirranello said. "This observation further supports the hypothesis that nectar feeding evolved twice in these bats because these traits seem more labile than we had previously thought."
The findings are published the journal Biological Reviews.

Actor Neil Patrick Harris is moving his family to New York full-time once he finishes filming the final season of "How I Met Your Mother" in Los Angeles.
The star currently lives in California with his partner, David Burtka, and their two-year-old twins, but they are planning to sell up and move to America's East Coast as soon as Harris' hit TV comedy comes to an end next year.
Harris admits he wants to live in a state which recognizes same-sex marriage and hopes to make the move soon so his children can be enrolled in school in the Big Apple.
Speaking during an event in New York City, he tells Usmagazine.com, "'How I Met Your Mother' is wrapping up its last season next year, and we're kind of at the end of a chapter in our lives, (the next chapter) will be in New York. So, it's fun to be here tonight. We're here in New York City and imagining the future, which won't be too far away… Our plan is to reroute ourselves and have our kids start to go to school here. We're at that age where we need to figure out where our kids are going to be educated. Then we hope that work finds us."

What Kind Of Leaks Can Be Found In Granite Reef Estates?
Slab Leaks in Granite Reef Estates
Slab leaks are pressurized pipes under a slab of concrete or foundation; found under homes, businesses and industrial facilities built on a slab foundation. Also known as under-floor leakage, or in-floor leakage, on domestic plumbing systems. Domestic water plumbing leaks may be hot water slab leaks or cold water slab leaks. Many of the specialized methods of locating leaks on underground piping are also used in precision location of under slab or in-slab leaks. Electronic leak detection is used on slab leaks to avoid the catastrophic property damage associated with "hunting" for slab leaks with jack hammers and similar demolition tools used by those unskilled in locating leaks without destruction. There are a few ways to detect a slab leak. One is to check if any water is leaking up through the foundation or any settling has occurred. Your Granite Reef Estates water, gas or electric bills is another way people find out If there is a noticeable increase, you may have an undetected leak somewhere. If the home has deteriorating water lines, then a complete copper pipe replacement (copper repipe) would be advisable.
Dripping faucets and water leaks in Granite Reef Estates waste water and money. The smallest of drips and water leaks around your home should be repaired. A slow drip can waste as much as 15 to 20 gallons of water per day. Many water leaks are easy to fix. Others may require a plumber.

Shower Valve – Found inside the wall of your shower
Hose Bib Spigot– Where you connect your hose
Water Meter Leaks
Gas Leaks
Sewer Leaks
Leakage, breaks or blockage on drain, sewer lines or septic systems can be found by inserting a sewer camera down the drain and look at the condition of the pipe and locate the break. This includes leakage of hazardous sewer gases that contain highly flammable methane gases. Sewer or drain line leaks often are the source of water damage in homes, as well as noxious sewer smells. Sewer leaks are also known as drain leaks, vent pipe leaks. Sewer leaks and drain leaks are easily repaired once the exact location is detected.
Precision location of sewer breaks, or sewer blockages often begin with an internal inspection of the piping called a sewer camera inspection. Our miniature inspection devices, sometime also called borescopes, or fiberoptic cameras, are made for rough service in drain lines of all sizes and can often see the interior well enough to "video" record the inspection. Sometimes the inspection is called a sewer video inspection for this reason.

Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Van, said Wednesday that a legislative panel will meet next on Sept. 16 to continue its investigation into University of Texas regent Wallace Hall, a Dallas businessman accused of conducting a "witch hunt" against UT president Bill Powers.
Flynn, co-chair of the Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations, said the meeting will provide an opportunity for committee members to consult with their newly hired counsel, Houston attorney Rusty Hardin. (Rep. Carol Alvarado, D-Houston is co-chair; Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio, and Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, are members of the committee.)
"We have a very narrow focus — to investigate the allegations in the resolution" filed by Rep. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said Flynn. "We hired Mr. Hardin as special counsel because we all recognize the historical nature of this charge."
Pitts has accused Hall of falsifying his application to be regent by failing to disclose a lawsuit. His resolution also says that Hall's innumerable open records requests constitute an abuse of his position as regent and are aimed solely at finding an excuse to fire Powers over political differences.
Flynn predicted the committee, which he compared to a grand jury, would meet one or two times in October to take testimony from witnesses. Although Hall's attorneys have requested an opportunity to call and cross-examine witnesses, Flynn said that would be appropriate if articles of impeachment are sent to the Texas Senate. In an impeachment, the Texas Senate conducts a trial, he said.
"Our whole mission is to make sure the light of day comes out in the charges against Mr. Hall," he said.

Cheesy Wild Rice Stuffing Recipe
When I think of stuffing (or dressing), the picture that comes to mind is of day-old bread mixed with onion, celery, other vegetables, dried fruit and herbs. It's time for a change, and this year for Thanksgiving, I'm opting for a healthier but just as tasty version using wild rice, pumpkin, dried mango, cranberries, asparagus and walnuts.
For easier serving, I baked it in individual cups and covered them with a blend of Jarlsberg and cheddar cheese. That might make them a little less healthy, but it's so worth it!
Yields: 8 servings¾ cup wild rice
¼ cup basmati rice
2 celery stalks, peeled and diced
1 white onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth, diced
1 sage leaf, chopped
½ bunch asparagus spears, blanched and trimmed into 3"-pieces
1 cup cooked pumpkin (boiled and drained), diced
1 cup vegetable stock (or canned vegetable broth)
2 teaspoons dried cranberries
2 pieces dried mango, finely chopped
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shaved
6 tablespoons Cheddar cheese, cut into thin slices
6 tablespoons Jarlsberg cheese, cut into thin slices
Cooking rice:
Thoroughly wash both types of rice separately. Drain as much water as possible.
Fill a saucepan with cold water and bring to a boil. Add the wild rice. Bring the liquid back to a boil, then immediately decrease the heat to medium-low. Stir well to make sure the rice is submerged in liquid; that way the rice will cook even all the way through. Cook for about 40 minutes. Add the basmati rice and extend the cooking time by 20 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Keep stirring the rice every now and then so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Check often and don't wait until the grains are too soft. Drain the liquid from the rice using a fine mesh colander. Do NOT rinse. Discard the liquid. Set aside.
Return the rice to the saucepan. Using the pestle (the stick) of a mortar and pestle, create 3 evenly-spaced holes (forming a triangle) in the saucepan and pour about ¾ cup vegetable broth into the rice. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Seal the pot with an aluminum sheet and cover it. Place on the stove over high heat for about 3-4 minutes. Steam should escape from the pot. Immediately turn off the heat and allow the rice to set for at least 15 minutes. Do not remove the lid. Gently fluff the rice using long chopsticks (or a fork) without breaking or mashing the grains of rice.
Assembly time:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small pot, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and sage and cook until fragrant. Add the celery, asparagus and pumpkin. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining vegetable broth. Stir constantly until the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice. Turn off the heat. Add the nuts, dried fruit, parsley, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons each cheddar and Jarlsberg cheeses. Mix well.
Divide the rice mixture among 10 silicone molds. Top with the remaining cheeses and bake for 12 minutes until the top is golden and forms a crust.
Serve warm.
Bon appétit!
When cooking celery, don't forget to peel it first with a vegetable peeler, because it tends to be very fibrous.
Instead of baking the stuffing in silicone molds, you could stuff it into mushrooms.Published By: on November 16, 2012.

Financial Aid
Concerned about cost? So are we, and we are committed to making Middlebury College affordable for all admitted undergraduate students, regardless of the resources of their families.
Here is what you need to know:
Our need-blind admissions policy
The College follows a need-blind admission policy for U.S. students, permanent residents, undocumented students and DACA students, which means that a student's financial status does not influence the admission decision. Middlebury makes every effort to help all candidates obtain the financial aid they need in the form of grants, loans, and work/study jobs. In the case of international students, Middlebury follows a need-aware admissions policy.
Middlebury's Aid Package
Middlebury will offer an aid package that meets 100 percent of your financial need as calculated by the Student Financial Services Office. If your family's financial situation does not change, we are committed to providing you a similar package each year you attend Middlebury.
Incoming First-Year Class
Middlebury typically provides grant aid to about half of the student body. For the Class of 2022, the average grant was $48,429.
Student Loans
Middlebury is committed to providing an affordable college education by keeping student loan levels low. Undergraduate indebtedness should not factor into a student's choice of college or career.
The maximum level of awarded student loan debt after four years for all Middlebury financial aid recipients ranges from $7,000 (for our neediest population) to $19,000.
Awarded loan amounts will rise slightly in subsequent years. The average Undergraduate Federal loan indebtedness at Middlebury is $15,517.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Ninety-six percent of U.S. mothers say they plan to make changes to their food-buying habits in 2013, a survey indicates.
The national survey of more than 1,000 U.S. mothers, conducted by Fleishman-Hillard and TheMotherhood.com, found 41 percent of U.S. mothers said they want to be more organized in how they shop and 33 percent said they want to make fewer trips to the grocery store.
Additionally, 67 percent said they would like to be more organized with weekly meal planning and 51 percent said they want to make meals ahead of time for later use.
More than half of the moms surveyed said they want to buy more nutritious food, and already have started by reducing purchases of snacks, sugar, processed foods, soda and carbohydrates. In addition, 49 percent of moms want to buy less processed food in the coming year, particularly those age 30 and younger.
Seventy-eight percent of the mothers said they read labels.
The mothers said they were looking to consume less high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, artificial dyes and gluten in the new year.
Three-fourths of the moms said they used technology while cooking, with AllRecipes.com, Pinterest and FoodNetwork.com the most popular.
No survey details were provided.

The Indianapolis Colts have another Polian on the staff.
Dennis Polian, the son of Colts President Bill Polian and brother of General Manager Chris Polian, has been hired as the club's director of football administration. Polian's previous job was the assistant to the head coach of the Vikings.
Polian has also worked at the NCAA and CFL level, and his brother said his previous work as director of football operations at Tulane University when Hurricane Katrina hit showed how qualified he is for the Colts job.
"It's a job we pieced through a couple different offices, but it's something we're going to have a dedicated person for moving forward," Chris Polian said, per the Indianapolis Star. "With what he's been through having to manage the Tulane situation through Katrina, I know he's going to be able to handle what we throw at him."
If not, he'll have his dad and his brother to answer to.

(Mark Von Holden/AP Images for SolarCity)
Today: SolarCity breaks the "solar curse," gains almost 50 percent in first day of post-IPO trading. Also: Apple (AAPL) declines healthily while Google (GOOG) rises following release of Google Maps app for iPhone in a bad day for Wall Street.
Big first-day pop for SolarCity brings hope back to cleantech sector
SolarCity's on-again, off-again initial public offering turned into a wild success Thursday, as the stock exploded more than 50 percent higher in its first day of public trading, a boon for Elon Musk and other board members who committed their own funds to buy millions of IPO shares at $8 apiece.
More importantly for the cleantech sector, it is a ray of positive light for solar companies, which have suffered through the Solyndra bankruptcy and canceled Brightsource IPO, leading to what pundits called the "solar curse."
"We punched through the solar curse," SolarCity co-founder and CEO Lyndon Rive told The Mercury News on Thursday, adding that the company "had to provide a strong discount to get investors to take the risk."
The San Mateo solar installer stuttered in its initial attempt to go public — after initially saying it sought up to $200 million in an IPO, it filed for an initial range of $13-$15 a share, which would have brought in $151 million at the top end. Investors were not enthused about that price, so SolarCity postponed its pricing Tuesday night and returned with a price of $8 a share Wednesday evening, for a total take of $92 million.
At the same time, two other board members joined the company's chairman, Musk, in promising to buy mass amounts of SolarCity stock at the IPO price — Musk said he would buy $15 million worth, about 1.9 million shares, while entities affiliated with venture firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson promised to purchase 1.5 million shares and DBL Equity Fund bought 300,000 shares.
The move was seen as a way for the board to show its belief in the company, which Musk helped found with his cousins, Lyndon and Peter Rive. In a possibly unintended consequence, it dried up a lot of the supply of IPO stock, as SolarCity only sold 11.5 million shares and nearly 3 million went to those three buyers.
"That's about as small as IPO sizes go," Sam Hamadeh, founder and CEO of financial data provider PrivCo, said in an email Thursday.
While Hamadeh believes the small supply helped raise demand, he also credited SolarCity's push to separate itself from the rest of the solar industry for its first day of trading, which saw shares rise as high as $12.70 — 58.8 percent higher than the IPO price — before closing at $11.79, a 47.4 percent increase.
"Investors came to understand and appreciate SolarCity's leasing/financing and installation model of others' solar panels, and were able to differentiate it from pure-play solar companies that have underperformed in the markets," he said.
SolarCity has moved aggressively to become one of the nation's leading installers of rooftop solar panels on homes and commercial businesses. The six-year-old company pioneered the concept of a "solar lease," offering homeowners the ability to go solar for no money down in exchange for monthly lease payments that are typically 10 to 15 percent less than their monthly utility bill.
The company has yet to turn a profit or even come close, however, and faces other challenges — SolarCity is being investigated by both the Treasury Department and the IRS for possibly overstating the market value of solar panels when claiming cash grants, and the company was notified in October that the IRS was conducting an income tax audit of two of its investment funds.
Despite its cloudy future, the first successful cleantech IPO in years had to cheer the rest of the industry, showing that there are still investors out there who believe in the sector.
"SolarCity's eventually successful pricing and debut is a modest boost for the cleantech venture capital and IPO market, and shows future companies that success can be had in cleantech," Hamadeh said.
Apple takes another big tumble as Maps app rears ugly head again
Apple's market capitalization descended lower than $500 billion again Thursday as it suffered another large loss on Wall Street after Google released a Maps app for the iPhone, reminding onlookers of Apple's most public failure in recent years.
Apple stock descended 1.7 percent Thursday, not as dramatic as its large drop last week, but still enough to close out of the $500 billion club for the second time in a month, after the Cupertino tech giant had stayed above that level for almost six months. Apple, which still has the largest market cap of any U.S. company, was just the sixth company to exceed $500 billion and established a record market cap without adjusting for inflation.
Apple fell to bear market territory after hitting an all-time high of $705.07 on Sept. 21, the day the iPhone 5 was released, but one of the company's efforts related to that launch has contributed to Apple's downfall. Included with the iPhone 5 and updated iOS 6 operating system was an Apple Maps app, which replaced the popular Google Maps as the default mapping application for Apple.
Immediately, users pointed out that the app was not ready for prime time, and complaints have rang loud and long, including all the way to Australia, where an error-filled map could endanger lives, an official there said. CEO Tim Cook was forced to write an apology to the company's customers and execute a massive executive shake-up, which pushed out the leader of Apple's iOS unit, Scott Forstall, as well as the executive who led the mapping effort.
With Google Maps now available for iPhones, Apple can take time to perfect its version — which will remain the default app — without the pressure of having to live up to Google's example. But the company still faces a host of doubts and a couple iPhone related challenges: A jury Thursday found that the iPhone violates patents obtained by Sony and Nokia, while the company's iPhone 5 launch in China comes without an agreement with the country's largest carrier, China Mobile. Apple also settled its e-books case in Europe on Thursday, but still faces issues in the U.S. on the same charges.
Apple closed at $529.69, for a market cap — the total value of all shares — of $498.3 billion, while Google was one of the few tech stocks to increase Thursday, gaining 0.7 percent to close above $700 at $702.70.
Wall Street declines along with tech stocks, but Adobe finds success
Apple's decline helped bring all three major U.S. stock indexes down Thursday, but it was not the only catalyst, as further bickering about the "fiscal cliff" in Washington disappointed investors, and the overall tech sector was especially weak.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq had the worst day of the three major indexes with a 0.7 percent dip, while the SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest technology companies fell even more at 0.9 percent. As Musk's SolarCity bet paid off, his other local company, Palo Alto electric-car company Tesla, fell 4.7 percent despite the good news that its cash flow has turned positive for the first time. Redwood City software giant Oracle (ORCL) declined 1 percent as it continued to be aggressive in acquisitions, and Yahoo (YHOO) suffered a slight dip of 0.2 percent as it shook up its board of directors yet again.
On the positive side, Netflix (NFLX) continued a strong recent run on Wall Street with a 2 percent gain, while Facebook gained 2.4 percent a day after it announced new privacy controls, as reports surfaced of a new app for Android.
After the bell, San Jose software company Adobe (ADBE) announced stronger-than-expected quarterly profits after it switched to a subscription model for its software, leading to a bounce of more than 6 percent in late trading, following a 1.2 percent dip in the day's regular session.

Down: Tesla, SunPower (SPWRA), Workday, Gilead, Jive, Apple, eBay (EBAY), Adobe, Symantec, Oracle, Intel (INTC), VMware, NetApp, Palo Alto Networks, LinkedIn, Electronic Arts (ERTS)

The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Down 74.73, or 0.56 percent, to 13,170.72

Players toil through pains great and small on the football field. They rarely want to talk about them.
Ryan Williams is different. The Arizona Cardinals running back admits he played through last season in a state of fear, worried that his surgically repaired right knee wouldn't hold up.
That feeling hit hard in Week 2, when he heard quarterback Kevin Kolb dial up a "39 Toss," asking Williams to run to his left against the New England Patriots.
"That was my least favorite play, because running to the outside, my whole right side was exposed," Williams told The Arizona Republic on Thursday. "As soon as I saw (linebacker Brandon) Spikes coming to hit me, I curled up and forgot about the ball. It was something where I was trying to protect my leg instead of trying to protect the football.
"It's a scary sight being a running back and being scared to run the ball. That's something that no running back should feel. I was pretty much scared all last year to get the ball in my hands."
Williams called his season-ending shoulder injury in October a "blessing in disguise" for the chance to shut it down and heal the knee. Williams says he's healthier than he has been in two years, but he's now in a fight for his job after the Cardinals signed Rashard Mendenhall, an old favorite of new coach Bruce Arians.
We haven't seen what a truly healthy Williams is capable of. Perhaps we'll find out this season, but the more pressing question is this: Why did he even step on the field last season?

What is the most efficient way to present a robust new goldmine of electronic drum elements - to group them into tighly compact kit clusters, or to sort them into easily accessible folders by type? Both! That's how 'Electronified Drum Kits, Loops, and One Shot Hits' is able to make your creative process move fluidly towards musical bliss. Whether you want to quickly load a new matched kit into your favorite sampler/software to design beats instantly, stack construction kit style loops, or invent your own personalized pallette drawing sounds from a deep pool of rich options, you'll be bobbing your head to delicious highly technological grooves in no time.
Of the many thousands of passionately crafted synthetic percussive sounds in the Studio Wormbone stockpile, the 350 in this collection were meticulously hand selected. The ending result is a boiled down refinement of the best of the best synthesized drum elements that modern production can concieve.
But be ready - these are not common garden variety drum machine tones or standard samples of acoustic drums. They are sophisticatedly imagined original electronic drum sounds from a variety of boutique analog hardware oscillators with unique acoustic instruments treated with high end outboard signal processors and/or esoteric software. All of the inclusions here have been seriously electronified.
These unique timbres would function beautifully as a foundation for a number of genres like dubstep, house, drum and bass, dance, electro, glitch, industrial, and IDM, as well as pop/rock and film composition.
The first section is divided into ten prearranged electronic drum kits containing 15 sounds each. There are 2 kicks, 2 snares, 2 hi-hats, 2 cymbals, 3 toms, and 4 effects in each of these kits. This ensures a wide range of versatility and totals 150 sounds.
There are also 50 construction kit loops using mainly the above mentioned kit sounds. These are at 130BPM and include REX2 format versions in addition to WAV.
The one shot hit section is categorized by type. Aggressive, ambient, cymbals, futuristic, effects, hi hats, kicks, metallic, snares, and tom hits are found in these ten folders with 20 new sounds in each folder. That puts the one shot hits at a total of 200 individual sounds. Combine that with the kit section and the grand total comes to a whopping 350 individual world class assets! The full Electronified content adds up to over 300MB uncompressed.
The majority of these sounds are atonal so theyll fit whatever key signature your music happens to be in, however when that's not the case the key signature has been included in the file name for easy integration into your projects.
Formats provided are WAV/AIF/REX2 in 24bit/44.1khz resolution, and are of course royalty free. Every sample has been professionally recorded, edited, (tortured) and mastered with the utmost care, is usable with every major audio software program (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, FL Studio, Acid, Garageband, Ableton Live) and is compatible cross platform with either Mac or PC.
All of these sounds maintain the glossy refinement of Studio Wormbones hyperproduction tools and techniques. All of them are calibrated with precision to make your next production inventive, far sighted, and mind-blisteringly innovative.

Available in black, the new Caplio R40 is a more affordable version of the highly successful Caplio R4 (released on March 17, 2006), which featured a 7.1x (28-200 mm) optical wide zoom lens. Inheriting the Caplio R4's unique Double Retracting Lens System*, the R40 houses a 5.7x (28-160 mm) wide-angle, high-powered zoom lens in its compact, 26-mm deep body.
* Designed to have part of the lens assembly inside the camera's body during lens storage, the wide-angle, high-powered zoom lens is more compact.
Ricoh takes pride in manufacturing products based on the concept of Expandability. In addition to its highly versatile wide zoom lens, the new R40 caters for every photographic situation. Thanks to the R40's enhanced macro capabilities – a specialty of Ricoh – and ultra-quick response, this is a camera that gets results anywhere, anytime. No longer will users miss shooting opportunities as they wait for their camera to power up or the Auto Focus to lock.
Main Features of the Caplio R40:
The newly developed Double Retracting Lens System makes it possible to fit a 5.7x (28-160mm in 35mm) wide zoom lens into the R40's slim body, which is at a mere 26mm deep fits comfortable into the pocket.
Ricoh's innovative Double Retracting Lens System, newly developed from the original Retracting Lens System, allows the lens assembly to be stored in the camera body during lens storage. This enables the 26 mm body to hold a 5.7x wide zoom lens (28-160 mm in 35-mm equivalent).
The highly versatile Caplio R40 delivers outstanding results in practically any photographic situation. These vary from sweeping landscapes to indoor shots needing a wide-angle 28mm lens to capture close-ups using 160mm telephoto.
The macro function, a Ricoh hallmark, has been further enhanced.
The R40 features a top-of-its-class macro mode, enabling users to photograph an object from as close as just 1 cm and opening up a whole new world of photographic opportunity.
The Zoom Macro Function automatically sets the focal distance of the lens at the optimum distance for capturing an object as large and close-up as possible.
If AF Target Selection is used, it is even possible to focus on different objects without moving the camera.
Rapid response for stress-free shooting.
Release time lag (the time from the instant the shutter button is fully pressed – without engaging pre-focus – until exposure actually starts) is as fast as approximately 0.09 seconds. Quick response is essential in order to capture those brief, picture-perfect moments of which memories are made, such as the smile of a small child or the playfulness of a pet. The R40's near-instantaneous reactions mean such shots are now within easy reach.
Time calculated from the instant the focus is locked (half-press) until exposure actually starts is an astonishing 0.007 seconds.
Shooting interval and start-up time (approx. 1.1 seconds) are both rapid (measured while the fl ash is off).
Long-life rechargeable battery and charger let you shoot approximately 350 pictures on a single charge.
The power-saving capability of the R40's internal circuitry means it is possible to capture up to 350 separate images under CIPA standards using the long-life rechargeable battery and charger (included with the camera), even while using the large, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD display.
High-definition pictures thanks to a 6-megapixel CCD coupled with Ricoh's original image processing engine.
The 6-megapixel CCD combined with Ricoh's Smooth Imaging Engine enables high-speed processing and noise reduction, resulting in clear, high-definition images with faithful colour reproduction.
Users can select an aspect ratio (the horizontal to vertical ratio of the image) of 3:2. This is the same as standard 35-mm photo prints, so there is no need to crop and lose part of the original image.
The skew correction function.
An original algorithm, which automatically detects trapezoids in images and corrects them to rectangles makes the R40 highly effective in business environments where blackboards, overhead projectors, schedules, signboards, etc. cannot be shot from the front.
Large 2.5-inch LCD makes for easy composition and increased efficiency.
The Caplio R40 sports a crystal clear, large 2.5-inch LCD monitor.
During playback, 12 pictures can be displayed simultaneously on the large screen. While checking pictures, the screen can be divided into three parts to allow fast forwarding and rewinding.
The brightness of the LCD can be increased to maximum with a single touch, and visibility can be adjusted for well-lit environments.
Includes rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, AV cable, USB cable, software (on CD-ROM), and wrist strap.
Caplio R40 Optional Accessories:
Rechargeable Battery: DB-60
Battery Charger: BJ-6
AC Adapter : AC-4c
Soft Camera Case: SC-60
Available: June 2006
Colours available: black

Oklahoma State Fans Pack Eskimo Joe's on Gameday
STILLWATER, Okla. - Most college towns in America have that quintessential bar or restaurant that fans and alumni pack like sardines on a gameday.
Mizzou fans and alumni like to head to establishments like Shakespeare's or Harpo's in downtown Columbia on crisp fall Saturdays.
For Oklahoma State fans, the place to be is Eskimo Joe's.
Eskimo Joe's got started in 1975 and is just a few blocks away from Boone Pickens Stadium and Gallagher-Iba Arena on the Oklahoma State campus.
Before basketball and football games, fans come for the mainstays: cheese fries and milkshakes. Both of those items have earned savory marks of satisfaction from Food Network programs like Unwrapped.
They also come for the atmosphere.
Two hours before each Oklahoma State football game, the marching band visits Eskimo Joe's and plays the fight songs.
Garrett Pezant is a greeter at "Joe's." The goal here is to get customers to smile as big as Eskimo Joe himself before they leave.
Pezant said it will be hard to find a seat Friday when Eskimo Joe's hosts its Cotton Bowl watch party.
Pezant said fans will let out big "Go Pokes" cheers when the Cowboys score or make a big play in Friday night's game.

Hamilton Bulldogs 2007-08 season preview
Written by: Jason Menard on 10/04/2007
With very few players graduating to an established Montreal Canadiens franchise, the Bulldogs should be primed and prepared for a solid defense of their AHL crown.
http://www.hockeysfuture.com/article...eason_preview/Carle may be the most exciting to watch in the bunch. Drafted for his offensive abilities, the rookie blueliner should play a prominent role on the power play and could bring some offensive punch to a defensive corps that is lacking in point potential.

From lawsuits to racial remarks, it's been a rough year in golf
DUBLIN, Ohio – Ernie Els flashed that easy smile when he saw a reporter walking toward the clubhouse at the TPC Sawgrass earlier this month.
"This must be great for you guys," he said through his laughter. "Come out to the PGA Tour and every week they hand you another story."
And he wasn't talking about Adam Scott winning the Masters.
The debate over anchored strokes and long putters. Deer antler spray. Rule 33-7. A player cleared of an anti-doping violation on a technicality, and then suing his own tour. Players hiring an attorney over a new rule related to the long putter.
And this was before the public spat between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods took an ugly turn that brought overtures of racism back into golf.
"It's been quite a controversial year for golf," Lee Westwood said.
Woods already has won four times on the PGA Tour going into the Memorial, a tournament he already has won five times in his career. So when someone asked Westwood on Tuesday if there was a sense that the No. 1 player was on the verge of going on a big run, Westwood looked mildly perplexed.
"I think he's on one, isn't he?" Westwood said. "How many tournaments has he played this year? He's won more than 50 percent."
But any talk of Woods is sure to include the illegal drop he took at the Masters, the two-shot penalty he received the next day, the incorrect scorecard with his signature on it and Augusta National invoking Rule 33-7, which gave it discretion to disregard the penalty of disqualification for the incorrect scorecard.
That debate lost steam when Vijay Singh sued the tour the day before The Players Championship began at TPC Sawgrass, where the Fijian spent years honing a game that brought him nearly $70 million in earnings and a spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Lawsuits against the tour are rare, but the details of this one were bizarre.
"Nobody has ever sued the tour for being cleared of getting a drug violation," Padraig Harrington said.
WADA warned against deer antler spray. Vijay Singh used deer antler spray. The tour proposed a six-month suspension. Singh appealed. WADA said deer antler spray was no longer the same concern. Singh was off the hook. And then Singh sued the tour.
The good news for PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem was the lawsuit was largely forgotten three days later. The bad news for the tour was why it was forgotten.
Singh vs. PGA Tour felt like an undercard compared with Garcia vs. Woods.
The Spaniard threw a sucker punch during a rain delay by suggesting Woods was the cause of a commotion in their final group of the third round. Woods fired back by calling out Garcia for his constant complaining, which led Garcia to say Woods wasn't the nicest guy on tour. And with no interest by either side in a truce, Garcia tried to make a joke about having Woods over for fried chicken, and he wound up with egg on his face.
Garcia threw out the racial stereotype the same day that the Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association introduced Rule 14-1b, effective in 2016, that would ban the anchored stroke used for long putters — like the one Scott used when he won the Masters, or the one Els used at the British Open, and Webb Simpson in the U.S. Open, and the ones used by Tim Clark and Carl Pettersson their entire pro careers.
At least three players, including Scott, have retained a lawyer as they wait to see whether the PGA Tour goes along with the new rule. The tour met with its Player Advisory Council on Tuesday at Muirfield Village, the first step toward figuring out which direction it will go.
According to one PAC member at the meeting, there was passion on both sides of the debate, which was not surprising. And there was no consensus, also not surprising. This was only a conversation, and from all indications, no one called anyone names.
So much for golf's reputation as a genteel sport.
"Is it bad for golf?" Nick Watney said Tuesday afternoon. "It depends on your theory of publicity. If you had the Kardashian feeling that any publicity is good publicity, then it's good. If you're a purist in terms of golf, then it's bad. The lawsuits, the rule change, the little feud going on. My view is that it's bad. This is supposed to be a gentleman's game. We're different from a lot of other pro sports."
This isn't the first time golf has gone way beyond birdies and bogeys.
There was the lawsuit involving Ping and the square grooves in the 1980s. There was Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, leading the breakaway from the PGA of America to start what is now the PGA Tour at the end of the 1960s. Imagine if Woods and Phil Mickelson did something like that today.
"It's not a perfect game," Curtis Strange said. "Some people believe there's no such thing as bad press, but it seems like we're still having growing issues. We're learning how to handle doping issues, although nobody has learned to do that yet. I'm been reading about Lance Armstrong all day."
It always seemed like some other sport's problems, and now some of those problems belong to golf.
"It's been great on the golf course — fantastic, really," Geoff Ogilvy said. "Tiger has won four times. The Masters was amazing again. Any time golf is in the newspaper, it's a good thing for us. Obviously, the Sergio-Tiger thing wasn't good. But it has been a tumultuous year."
And it's not anything Finchem can make go away with a wave of his hand. Considering that golf is a niche sport, maybe that's not the worst thing.
"Outside the ropes, golf is probably more interesting than it ever has been," Robert Garrigus said. "I don't think it's all that bad if it makes our sport more interesting. There might be a few more people come out to the U.S. Open."
That would be good for golf. Maybe not so much for Garcia.

Tinto vs Venti: Colombia's Juan Valdez and Starbucks fight for caffeination dominance
When coffee giant Starbucks recently announced it was bringing its frappuccinos and skinny lattes to Colombia — where a cup of coffee is better known as a tinto — it sparked jokes about selling ice to Eskimos and captured global headlines. But it also obscured a growing contender in the global caffeine war, Colombia's Juan Valdez coffee shops.
The high-end java retailer is already in eight countries — including the United States, where it has stores in Washington, D.C., New York and Miami International Airport — but it has far more ambitious plans.
In the next year or so, it will be opening locations in Central America, South Korea, Malaysia and throughout the Middle East.
It also has Venti-sized aspirations for Florida. Starting early next year, Juan Valdez expects to open the first of 50 or 60 locations in southern Florida, said Hernán Méndez, chief executive of Procafecol, which operates the Juan Valdez chain.
The company that will lead Juan Valdez's incursion into the heartland of Café Cubano is JVC Franco LLC.
"Juan Valdez is a high-quality brand and product and we're confident that it will be successful in Florida," said Rafael Belloso with JVC Franco, who is also a longtime Burger King franchisee through his company Beboca. "This is a niche where Juan Valdez can develop into a global brand."
When the coffee shops were launched in 2002, Juan Valdez was already a household name. The mustachioed farmer and his mule Conchita are the personification of Colombian coffee and they have been promoting it around the globe ever since the 1950s, when the characters were hatched by a Manhattan ad firm.
The coffee chain, owned by the National Federation of Colombian Coffee Growers, simply capitalized on the name.
But you won't find many farmers in ponchos at the cafes. In many ways the Juan Valdez chain is Colombia's answer to Starbucks. It sells high-end brew to urbanites willing to pay a premium for their black fantastic. And for the most part, it has gone unchallenged on its home turf.
At the Procafecol headquarters in a trendy area of Bogotá, Méndez admits Starbucks' arrival is a game-changer. But he also thinks Juan Valdez has home-field advantage.
"We don't feel a threat seeing them here and I think it would be good for people to really compare and see what the difference is," he said. "We think we have an edge on quality. And we have [169] stores with great locations. That's a very big asset."
Even so, Juan Valdez has struggled to turn a profit until recently. The company operated in the red until 2012, when it eked out a net profit of about $762,000. It's on track to more than double that number this year.
In countries where the two companies are competing, such as Mexico and Aruba, Juan Valdez is holding its own, Mendez said. Chile is a prime example. There, Juan Valdez has 13 stores, many of which are close to the 50 stores that Starbucks operates.
"We monitor perceptions and what our [Chilean] clients say," Mendez explained. "What they always bring out is the quality of the coffee. There is a very big base of consumers who would prefer the 100 percent Colombian coffee that we serve in our stores versus blends that Starbucks might have."
In Colombia, at least, Starbucks seems sensitive to the issue.
Unlike its operations elsewhere in the world, the company will only be serving Colombian coffee at its stores here.
"Colombia is special," said Rich Nelsen, vice president and general manager for Starbucks' Latin America operations. "We wanted to celebrate their heritage and the high-quality coffee that Colombia produces."
Colombia was an obvious target for Starbucks. The country is seeing strong growth and a burgeoning middle class. In addition, Starbucks has been buying Colombian beans for more than 40 years, when it was just a little shop in Seattle. Finally, the company has been in Peru and Chile for more than a decade, Nelsen said.
While many coffee chains tout their fair-trade status and brag about what they give back to farmers, Juan Valdez is the only international chain of its size that actually belongs to coffee producers. The store has given back about $20 million in royalties to farmers since it started, Méndez said.
Colombians, for one, will appreciate that, he said.
"Colombians have a very deep emotional connection with Juan Valdez and there's a sense of national pride," he said. "That gives us a very big loyal customer base and that will help with the competition."
But Juan Valdez's reliance on its home-grown product might hurt its U.S. expansion efforts, said Christian Wolthers of Fort Lauderdale-based Wolthers America, an importer and supplier of coffee from Latin America.
"Starbucks obviously has a wide range of products from different origins with different flavors," he said. "They work like a Blockbuster video store. They have new releases every week or month."
Starbucks has trained U.S. consumers to crave novelty, he said. "The client wants to taste something new from time to time."
Belloso, the South Florida franchisee, thinks quality will trump variety. Asked if the Juan Valdez experience will be tweaked for South Florida he said: "We're not going to change a thing."

On December 10, the House Democratic leadership announced the appointments of members of Congress to fill seats on three important House Committees for the upcoming 110th Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) announced that Congressman Ed Towns (NY) will chair the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The Democratic Caucus also approved Congressman John Salazar (CO) and Lincoln Davis (TN) to fill two seats on the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees all spending bills.
The House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees tax measures, added five new members: Danny Davis (IL), Bob Etheridge (NC), Brian Higgins (NY), John Yarmouth (KY), and Raul Grijalva (AZ).
Congressman Grijalva, who currently chairs the Natural Resources' Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, will have to relinquish his seat on the Natural Resources Committee in order to sit on the exclusive Ways and Means Committee. During his tenure on Natural Resources, Congressman Grijalva was a strong advocate for preserving and protecting our natural environment, including public lands, parks, and other important resources. House Republicans selected Doc Hastings (WA) over Utah's Rob Bishop to serve as the Ranking Minority Member of the House Natural Resources Committee.
The Democratic Caucus also recently voted for Henry Waxman (CA) to be the new Chairman of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee that has jurisdiction over health, telecommunication, energy and environment issues. Other newly-added Members include: Bruce Braley (IA), Kathy Castor (FL), Christopher Murphy (CT) Jerry McNerney (CA), Betty Sutton (OH), Donna Christensen (U.S. Virgin Islands), John Sarbanes (MD), and Zack Space (OH). ASLA has worked very closely with Congressman John Sarbanes on the "No Child Left Inside Act" and with Congressman Zack Space (OH), who championed the Small Community Visioning Improvement Act (H.R. 3374).

Brothers struck out a career-high 14 batters, his second game in a row to record double figures in strikeouts. He threw eight shutout innings and gave up only two hits.
But despite those stellar numbers Brothers lost his third game of the season Friday night against North Florida 1-0 at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in the first of three games in the Atlantic Sun Conference series. According to records from the Atlantic Sun office, it was first 1-0 game between two conference teams since Gardner-Webb beat Belmont 1-0 March 25, 2006.
North Florida scored the only run in the game in the first inning. After Brothers, who leads the A-Sun in strikeouts, got the first two batters he faced to strike out he gave up a home run to left field to Preston Hale.
The only other hit for North Florida was double in the sixth inning by Justin Preckajlo.
John Frawley, 5-1, went the distance for North Florida. He allowed five hits while striking out eight. He did not walk a batter.
Antonio Butler led the Bisons with two hits, a single to left field in the third, and a triple to right center with one out in the eighth. It was the first triple for Butler in his college career.
The Bisons (13-20, 8-5) and North Florida (15-20, 9-7) will play a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at 1.
Senior right-hander Brandon McClurg and junior right-hander Josh Smith will start for the Bisons.

Often as I survey the environment around me, I wonder about many of the charismatic gifts. It is a fascinating world we live in. Many churches teach that they were done away. Others teach us that they must ever be upon us and always manifest as a true sign to the believers. In the world of Mormonism, there is certainly a middle ground. One I am always watching and listening for.
"But the Son of righteousness shall appear unto them…And that he manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men according to their faith." (2 Nephi 26:9, 13).
There are those within the church who make the comment that if we have not seen the Savior, than we have obtained nor lived up to all that our religion has to offer. However, does that really mean we have to see him physically and in person? I certainly believe it is a possibility, but something that doesn't seem common place. To me it seems something much more sublime. Dreams, Visions, and all the other gifts must be manifest by the Spirit. Accordingly we are told, that if the Holy Ghost burns the witness into our heart, it is better than if we had physical verification of the Savior.
Rather than separating all the parts of this verse apart, like many others, why don't we look and see that perhaps the working of mighty miracles, signs, and wonders may be methods of his appearing unto us? After all, if we can feed the hungry and clothe the naked and it is as if we did it unto him, why could not the same being done to us be a witness of him in our entropy world? What is even more, what if we were in tune enough the spirit witnessed to us the person was acting in the Savior's place?
How else would we learn to see the countenance of the Savior in others? How else would we learn to see the countenance of the Savior in us and if we are a saved being?
I certainly believe in the visions and dreams which give us greater insight into the Savior's life. The example of Orson F. Whitney or Melvin J Ballard are great examples of what is possible in that realm. One of the latest testimonies of the same I have read came from David B. Haight. It seems to me that after we have learned to recognize the voice of the Spirit manifesting the miracles and signs around us, then we may be granted a greater vision and view of the beyond.
One thing I am sure of, the boasting I sometimes hear is surely not what the individuals are relating. I remember the tale of a sister who worked in the Washington D.C. Temple. Apparently she helped close down the temple some evenings. She then commented in her testimony of that the Savior lives and that he goes to his own. She then repeated over and over about four times, "I know He lives." While it surely may be the case she knows and it seems she was trying to indicate, after all Lorenzo Snow's experience was similar. However, the Spirit was not present, and to paraphrase a Joseph Smith comment about those who do not prophesy according to the Spirit, "and there shall be many inquiries after them."
However, if we have learned to recognize the Spirit through the signs and miracles around us, I know such blessings are available. But would we ever really know for sure if anyone else knows? Does it really matter? If we haven't learned to walk that path, and to recognize those miracles and signs among us, does it really matter whether or not another member really knows?
"The earth rolls upon her wings, and the sun giveth his light by day, and the moon giveth her light by night, and the stars also give their light, as they roll upon their wings in their glory, in the midst of the power of God. Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand? Behold, all these are kingdoms, and any man who hath seen any or the least of these hath seen God moving in his majesty and power." (D&C 88:44-46) If we have viewed the creation of God by the Spirit, we have seen God. Why do we need to see more. This was Marion G. Romney's testimony given to us again just last General Conference by Elder Hales.
"But behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are." (Mormon 9:11)
Lastly, the questions I have posed are answered so clearly by Moroni himself. He who appeared and was another witness of the spirituality of Joseph. He surely would not have seen anything if he had not seen the miracles and signs of God all around him. We know he wondered at the heavens in all their beauty and order.
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men? For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens. And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men." (Moroni 7:27-29).
Just because Christ doesn't walk among us doesn't mean miracles have ceased. Just because he dwelleth eternally in the heavens does not mean the mercies do not still descend upon those with faith. Interestingly, the first example of the miracles that Moroni gives is that of an angel ministering unto us. Perhaps we are to busy looking beyond the mark and are missing the signs, miracles, and angels all about us. Indeed, the angels we are called to receive, but also to which we are also called to minister.
