Travis Mayer (born February 22, 1982, in Buffalo, New York) is an Olympic-level freestyle skier.  He won the silver medal in the moguls competition at the 2002 Winter Olympics and also competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Travis grew up skiing in Western New York at Holiday Valley and across the Northeast as a member of the Holiday Valley Freestyle Team. After completing junior high school in Orchard Park, as a freshman in high school he went to Killington Mountain School in Vermont for five months to concentrate on his skiing. Mayer moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, to attend the Lowell Whiteman School. In the fall of his junior year, at 16, Mayer was named a member of the US Ski Team. Mayer continued to pursue skiing at an elite level, but by 2000 began to want to take a break from skiing and explore other life avenues. In January 2001, Mayer returned to full-time skiing and his development further accelerated. He barely made the Olympic team a few months prior, and ended up taking silver at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002. Subsequently, he won his first World Cup event, in 2005 at Lake Placid.

Mayer studied food science and planned to go into the same cider and bottled water that his family has owned for 150 years.

In June 2005, Mayer was involved in a two-car accident in Wales, New York. The accident resulted in the death of the occupant of the other vehicle. The police concluded that Mayer was not using drugs or alcohol, and he was not charged with a crime. He was given a citation for failing to yield at a stop sign.

In January 2006, Mayer was named to the U.S. Olympic team for Torino. He finished in seventh place.

Mayer became the chief financial officer at Intrawest ULC in March 2012, after joining Intrawest in 2007.  He started as a financial analyst in July 2010.  He served as executive vice president of operations and business development at Intrawest from January 2014 to January 2015.  He was involved with the outdoor sports and leisure travel industries.  Mayer has an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS from Cornell University, where he graduated summa cum laude.  He currently resides in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

His most famous trick was the straight 720 spin.

I created the FORM page with Master Details form, it has CW_ORDER and CW_SALESLINE table. There also is a CW_INVENTORY table.
When user press "Add Row" button, there will show two list boxes for choosing which 'TYPE' as Product type" and 'INV_ID' as Product Description".
TYPE as Product Type is configured "Select List(static LOV)"
with List of Value (STATIC:Hardware;Hardware,Software;Software)
User can choose 'Hardware' or 'Software' only.
INV_ID as Product Description is configured "Select List(query based LOV)
with List of Value (select description, inv_id from cw_inventory where cw_inventory.type = :type)
I want that when user chooses Product Type value such as 'Hardware' and then Product Description can list only the type of Hardware items for choosing instead of all items are listed.
In CW_Inventoty has a 'TYPE' column, its value is Hardware or Software.

Please advise. Thank you so much .....

The Christmas Grinch of retail
Cara Waters
As Christmas approaches, those jingle bells are jingling and, once again, cash registers are ring, ring, ringing.
It has been a tough retail environment this year, with the collapse of Retail Adventures and Retravision highlighting the bumpy ride for retailers in 2012.
But respite is in sight for retailers, according to a report released this week by Deloitte Access Economics, which predicted that for the first time in three years the macroeconomic environment is providing retailers with an opportunity to make some money this Christmas.
With interest rates slashed, wages growth solid, house prices stabilising, and consumer confidence picking up, Deloitte says consumers' appetite for spending has been stronger in 2012 than it has been for some time.
"For retailers, it won't be the Christmas of their dreams, but it may provide them with a vital ingredient which has been missing over the previous two years – decent cash flow," the report states.
Retail trade growth over the year to December 2012 is expected to come in at 3.7% in real (inflation adjusted) terms, and 4.4% in nominal terms, which Deloitte describes as "a sound outcome by recent standards".
However, the Grinch in the happy Christmas retail tale is what's waiting around the corner next year.
Industry veteran Gerry Harvey has warned that while Christmas may be a bright spot for many retailers the aftermath will be poor.
Harvey says while there have been plenty of retail collapses, "there's plenty more to go".
While Harvey may be particularly pessimistic (although not about Harvey Norman's performance), there's no doubt there are some retailers hanging on until Christmas, heavily dependent on hitting high sales targets over the festive season.
Some of those retailers may be tempted to discount to increase sales, with Deloitte predicting almost a third of retailers will discount in early December, but the downside of that will be the compressed margins which will hit the balance sheet post-Christmas as well.
Without being Grinch-like, discounting and the emphasis of the Deloitte survey on the festive period only means it's hard to take too much comfort from it.
Savvy retailers will already be thinking beyond Christmas and even beyond the Boxing Day sales.
For retailers, the key is going to be what happens after Christmas and, for now, the focus needs to be on Christmas profits rather than just Christmas sales.

Turmeric Powder (pronounced "tur-mer-ick"), Curcuma longa is also called ground turmeric, curcumin powder, or ground tumeric.
Turmeric Powder has an essential oil of 1.0% - 6.9% and a minimum of 3% Curcumin.
What is Turmeric Powder
Turmeric is a bright yellow spice powder that gives curry its yellow color, it has been used in India for thousands of years as both a spice and medicinal herb. Native to tropical South Asia, Turmeric comes from the root of a plant in the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric and is said to have strong anti-inflammatory properties.
History of Turmeric Powder
Medicinal uses of turmeric can be traced back to Sanskrit medical treatises and the ancient Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine. Ayurvedic medicine, called "Ayurveda" for short, is one of the world's oldest holistic or "whole-body" healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India and is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the body, mind and spirit.
Archaeological digs near New Delhi (the capital city of India) revealed evidence of garlic, ginger, and turmeric residue in pots that were dated back to 2500 BC. During the Vedic period (1500 - 500 BC) turmeric was referred to in India as "the golden spice" or "the spice of life." Sun Gods were a large part of worship and ritual during this time. The vibrant color of turmeric was associated with the color of the sun and thus rituals around sun worship often incorporated the rhizome. Turmeric was also common in fertility rituals and spiritual purification rituals during this period.
Turmeric spread from the Indian subcontinent via overland caravans to reach the Assyrians (indigenous people of the Middle East and one of the oldest civilizations in the world) and the Sumerians of southern Mesopotamia (whose civilization flourished between 4100-1750 BC). Turmeric was transported by sea routes and reached China in the 600s AD with turmeric being mentioned in writings during the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). Turmeric was introduced to East Africa during the 700's via caravan routes controlled by Berber, Bedouin, and Jewish traders. Marco Polo, who travelled extensively along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295, wrote about seeing turmeric growing not only in China but on Sumatra (one of the islands of western Indonesia) and along India's Malabar Coast.
In modern day times, Americans have become hyper aware of turmeric and its potential health benefits, attributing to the surge in popularity of Golden Milk all across the United States. India consumes nearly 80% of all the turmeric grown in the world.
Turmeric Cultivation
Turmeric is a perennial herb with underground rhizomes. Plants are reseeded from some of the rhizomes that are harvested each growing season. The plant thrives in loamy or alluvial fertile (along river and coastlines), well-drained soil, with a frost-free climate, temperatures between 70° and 90°F and 40 to 80 inches of annual rain fall. Light shade is best while excessive shade tends to reduce the yield.
The plant can reach a height of 3 feet or more with large green leaves and as the plant begins to mature it produces tall, white and sometimes pink flower spikes. Rhizomes are harvested only once a year, typically 9 to 10 months after planting. When the lower leaves begin turning yellow or the stems start drying out and falling over this is a sign of full maturity. The leading commercial producers of turmeric include India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
Regions and Grades of Turmeric
There are two primary regions in India where Turmeric is grown -- Chennai (pronounced "chuh-nai" formerly known as Madras) in southeastern India and Alleppey (pronounced "uh-lay-pee) located in the farthest reaches of southwestern India. The Chennai grown Turmeric has up to 2.2% essential oil with up to 2.1% curcumin, while Alleppey grown Turmeric has 3.5% to 6.9% essential oil with 3.0% to 6.5% curcumin. Curcumin gives the rhizome its orangish-yellow coloring and this color level is also an indication of its quality. Lower quality turmeric is more brownish in color.
Turmeric powder is ground from the plant's rhizome. The rhizomes mature beneath the foliage in the ground. Turmeric's rhizome is tuberous, with a rough yellowish-brown skin while the interior is a orangish-yellow color.
There are several grades of Turmeric produced in the Alleppey region -- the "splits and bulbs" grade comes from the main root (rhizome) and these tend to be less expensive and of a lower quality (less flavor, color and volatile oil) are more fibrous and difficult to grind.
We carry the higher quality Turmeric "Fingers" which are appendages that are separated from the main rhizome. These are then broken into 1" to 3" lengths." The "fingers" possess a greater curcumin content and more flavor because of their higher volatile oil, which provides a superior quality turmeric for grinding.
Where is Our Turmeric From
What does Turmeric Powder Taste Like
Mildly sour and bitter, slightly pungent, warm and musky.
How do You Use Turmeric Powder
Turmeric is a central ingredient in Masalas, curry powders and pastes. In India, Turmeric helps in digesting the complex carbohydrates found in most dishes. In Indian and southeast Asian cooking Turmeric is an important seasoning used to add flavor and color to curries of all kinds (but especially vegetable curries), desserts, fried fish, lentils, pickles, rice, soup and vegetables like cauliflower and potatoes.
In Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai cooking, Turmeric is added to yellow and red curries, laksas (a spicy noodle soup), stews, yellow rice (nasi kuning) and vegetable-based dishes.
Many Persian dishes use turmeric as a starter ingredient and when combined with dried limes is used to flavor a Middle Eastern stew of meat, lentils, onions and tomatoes that is served over rice. In Lebanon it is used to color Sfouf cake. In South Africa, turmeric gives boiled white rice a rich, golden color.
In the US, it's often used commercially in baked goods, biscuits, canned beverages, cake icings, cereals, dairy products, ice cream, mustard, orange juice, sauces, yellow cakes and yogurt.
Some of our favorite recipes with Turmeric include Rajma, Moroccan Soup, and Pineapple Sauerkraut.
Bright yellow turmeric both looks and tastes fantastic on cauliflower and potatoes and is instrumental in giving the traditional cauliflower and potato curry, aloo gobi, its distinctive appeal. It adds richness to both dill and bread-and-butter pickles. Add turmeric to marinades for chicken or fish, or mix with yogurt, ginger, and some lime juice for a savory dipping sauce for spicy foods. Use turmeric with beans, eggs, meat, rice and spinach.
Turmeric works well in combination with other herbs and spices like bay leaves, cilantro, clove, coconut, coriander, cumin, curry leaves, dill, fennel seed, galangal, ginger, lemongrass, mustard seeds, nutmeg, paprika and pepper.
What is a Substitute for Turmeric Powder
When substituting for color, you can use Saffron or Annatto in place of turmeric. Keep in mind both of these spices are more red than yellow. If you want a spice with a similar earthy flavor, try Cumin, but be aware that cumin is a very aromatic, strong-tasting spice so use it sparingly.

Q: Generating AppID for Sencha Cordova Android app I'm learning Sencha Touch and trying to deploy to actual devices.
Attempting to follow this document and package an app for deployment, I'm lost regarding the AppID.
How can I acquire the AppID so I can package my app using the following code:
sencha cordova init ???

A: App IDs, along with several other concepts such as certificates, bundles, and provisioning profiles, belong to Apple's mobile application development, testing and distribution process.
I strongly recommend you to read this first to have an overview understanding of how it works:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
When you do, the steps can be summarized to the following:

*

*Register an Apple developer account.

*Request for and then download a developer certificate.

*Register App IDs (and generate a provisioning profile which includes it)

Boys tennis pulls off unexpected wins resulting in successful season
Jessica Sehgal, Executive Editor|August 15, 2022
Over the past few years, ETHS tennis has rapidly increased in popularity across the ETHS student body, and in parallel with this trend, the team's success has prospered at a growing rate. Last season, ETHS sent three players to state—class of 24' singles player Finn Pollard and class of '22 doubles teammates Jake Chiss and Chauncy Wadsworth.
"We haven't done that in a long time, probably 10 years," explains varsity head coach Marcus Plonus.
Prior to competing for the state championship, Pollard faced off with New Trier rising sophomore Stan Okesson at the sectional semifinals. Pollard rained victorious, securing his spot at the state tournament. Plonus, an ETHS tennis alum who is entering his thirteenth year coaching for Evanston, estimated that it was the first time that ETHS had beaten New Trier in a singles match at sectionals in over 40 years.
"There was a lot of pressure, because the whole New Trier team was cheering against me, but I had to stay focused and play my best," Pollard recalls. "After the match, it was a great feeling, because every year New Trier dominates us and they were the reigning state champs, so to beat one of their top players in the sectional semifinal was a really big deal."
Aside from the tennis accomplishments, this spring saw record-breaking behavior in terms of weather as well. Stretching from March to May, it was one of the rainiest seasons Evanston has seen in decades, posing obstacles for the team.
"There were so many different times where we'd be ready to play a match, and all of a sudden, it'd be raining, and you can't play tennis in the rain. About a third of our matches got canceled, which sucked," says class of '22 varsity player Axel Mueller.
Despite the rainy roadblocks, tennis made the best of their season, finishing second in sectionals and 22nd in state, and they aim to only keep improving.
"[Next season], I think we're going to improve and hopefully get three teams to state," Plonus shares. In an effort to elevate from their 22nd state ranking, he remarks, "We're hoping to be in the top fifteen finishers."

Box Office Report: Hugh Jackman Starrer 'Real Steel' Wins Weekend with $27.3 Mil
UPDATED: The George Clooney-Ryan Gosling political drama "The Ides of March" opens at No. 2 with $10.4 million.

Real Steel Hugh Jackman Robot - H 2011
Shawn Levy's Real Steel–starring Hugh Jackman and set in the world of robot boxing–easily topped the domestic box office chart with a $27.3 million opening. Overseas, the DreamWorks movie grossed an impressive $22.1 million for a worldwide debut of $49.4 million.
In North America, Real Steel succeeded in luring younger moviegoers, who have been noticeably absent from the multiplex in recent months, as well as posting one of the better openings for early October.
PHOTOS: 'Real Steel' Premiere
Real Steel launched over the weekend in 19 foreign territories, only three of which are major markets–Russia, Australia (Jackman's home country) and Mexico. The movie opened No. 1 in each, grossing $6.9 million in Russia, $5.4 million in Australia and $2.9 million in Mexico. It's running 33% ahead of fellow Disney pic Tron Legacy, which cumed $228 million internationally.
At the domestic box office, 36 percent of the audience was under the age of 18, and 51 percent under the age of 25. The film appealed especially to males, who made up 59 percent of those buying tickets. It also played like a family pic, evidenced by a 27 percent jump from Friday to Saturday.
Real Steel, distributed by Disney, drew an A CinemaScore, and an A+ from both males and those under the age of 18. The top scores should help fuel good word-of-mouth.
PHOTOS: 'Real Steel' First Look
"The film succeeded in playing to a variety of demos," said Disney executive vice president of distribution Dave Hollis, adding that families made up 25 percent of the audience, teenagers 15 percent and couples 60 percent, many of whom were younger.
Costing $110 million to produce after Michigan tax rebates, Real Steel will need strong legs and a continued good showing overseas in order to recoup its production and marketing costs. Eagle Eye, opening in late September 2008 to roughly $29 million, went on to cume $101.4 million domestically.
Real Steel generated $4.4 million worth of business for Imax theaters, the best number ever for a September or October opening and accounting for 12 percent of the film's total $27.3 million gross. Of that, $3.2 million came from Imax theaters in North America.
The George Clooney-directed The Ides of March placed No. 2 in its debut, grossing $10.4 million. Clooney also stars in the well-reviewed political drama opposite Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Evan Rachel Wood. Paul Giamatti and Marisa Tomei also star.
STORY: 'Ides of March': George Clooney, Ryan Gosling's Power Player Style
"The acting is absolutely tremendous. You coudn't take your eyes off any one of these actors," Sony president of worlwide distribution Rory Bruer said.
Ides of March, costing a modest $12.5 million to produce, drew a B CinemaScore overall and a B+ from moviegoers under the age of 18. Cold Creek Pictures fully financed the pic, with Sony distributing. The film narrowly bested Clooney's Michael Clayton, which grossed $10.3 million in its first weekend in nationwide release.

As expected, Ides of March appealed heavily to adults, with 86 percent of the audience over the age of 25, although Sony noted that 40 percent was under the age of 35. Women made up 58 percent of the audience.
The specialty box office saw so-so results for Martin Sheen starrer The Way, directed by his son Emilio Estevez. The film grossed $132,411 from 33 locations for an average $4,012.
IFC Films' Human Centipede 2–Full Sequence grossed $54,000 from late-night shows in New York, Los Angeles and other select cities. Playing in a total of 18 theaters, the sequel posted a location average of $3,000.
Among holdovers, family film Dolphin Tale continued to thrive, coming in No. 3 with a gross of $9.2 million, which brings its domestic cume to $49.1 million. Sony's Brad Pitt baseball pic Moneyball also stayed high up on the box office chart, placing No. 4 with a gross of $7.5 million. Moneyball's domestic cume now stands at $49.3 million.
STORY: Box Office Report Card: The Biggest Flops of Late Summer
The faith-based Courageous fell off a sizeable 50% in its second weekend, grossing $4.6 million for a 10-day total of $15.9 million. Stll, the movie, from Sherwood Pictures and TriStar, only cost $2 million to produce.
Disney's 3D re-release of The Lion King tumbled to No. 7 in the wake of the Oct. 4 debut of the Diamond Blu-Ray edition of the film. The re-release has been a runaway hit at the box office, grossing $86 million domestically to date.

Q: Class Magento\NewRelicReporting\Model\Config does not exist in 2.4.4 After upgrading from Magento 2.4.3-p1 to 2.4.4, I am getting the following error:
In ClassReader.php line 57:
  Impossible to process constructor argument Parameter #0 [ <required> Magento\NewRelicReporting\Model\Config $config ]

In GetParameterClassTrait.php line 34:
  Class Magento\NewRelicReporting\Model\Config does not exist

And sure enough, when I look through vendor and generated code, I do not see any such class. Is this just "fresh release" problems with 2.4.4? Is there some way to disable NewRelic globally?
This is in a Docker dev environment.

A: Check your project composer.json file, and make sure magento/module-new-relic-reporting is not removed.
But I think Magento requires NewRelic classes on Graphql module by this way is the wrong way.

State: No case against county coroner's office
Lou Whitmire
MANSFIELD – The Ohio Attorney General's Office has closed a theft investigation of the Richland County Coroner's office in connection with the death of an Ontario man in 2013, citing "no probable cause to file charges."
A spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office today provided a letter from Melissa A. Schiffel, assistant attorney general, to James Mayer III, attorney for Bob Ball, dated Dec. 18, 2014, stating, "After further review of the evidence in this matter, the state does not have probable cause to file charges against your client Robert Ball. We are closing our investigation and case."
In 2013, Richland County Sheriff J. Steve Sheldon confirmed coroner's investigator Bob Ball was the target of the probe. Ball has not been charged with a crime and referred all comment to Mayer.
"My client has committed no crime and we are aggressively defending against the accusation," Mayer said at the time.
Today, Ball referred all comment to Mayer. Mayer could not immediately be reached.
Brent Robinson, then first assistant prosecutor at the Richland County Prosecutor's Office, requested assistance from the attorney general's Special Prosecutions Section, according to a public document the attorney general provided the News Journal.
The investigation focused on a Sept. 20, 2013, incident in Ontario. A 64-year-old man committed suicide at his residence, according to the autopsy report performed by the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.
Authorities called the state Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to the scene. The autopsy revealed evidence of a self-inflicted hanging by a rope.
The man's sons later alleged a theft at the residence.
Shortly after midnight on Sept. 28, 2013, Richland County Sheriff's Capt. Eric Bosko searched Ball's office at the Richland County Coroner's Office. At approximately the same time, Bosko also searched Ball's Mansfield home.
No details surrounding what authorities were searching for have been made public. The search warrant is sealed, Sheldon confirmed in 2013.
Attempts to obtain a copy of the search warrant today were unsuccessful; but the News Journal has requested a copy of the search warrant, signed by Mansfield Municipal Court Judge Frank Ardis, when it becomes unsealed. Ardis is not in the office today.
Sheldon acknowledged he was at the coroner's office, 597 Park Avenue West, when the search was conducted in Ball's office.
In 2013, Richland County Coroner Dr. Stewart Ryckman said he knows of no wrongdoing in the coroner's office and referred all questions to Mayer.
"I can think of nothing more deplorable than for a ME (medical examiner) to be stealing from the deceased," Ryckman said. "Returning valuables and assisting the family in any way possible are trusts that we take very seriously.
"As we have discussed, I know of no credible evidence given to anyone that such a thing has gone on, and I don't believe that such evidence exists."
Ryckman said the coroner's office and Ball were represented by Mayer, since the allegations arose while Ball was performing work for the coroner's office.
A special prosecutor was sought because Ball used to work as an investigator with the Richland County Prosecutor's Office in the 1990s.
Ryckman today said, "We are very glad to put this behind us."
Sheldon declined to comment today.

One-Sided Stories
The philosopher John Stuart Mill said that to understand an issue it is necessary to learn the arguments on both sides equally well. This comports with the idea we all are taught that there are two sides to every story. Notice, however, that Mill did not say the arguments themselves are equal, only that an informed judgment requires knowledge of all points of view. Put another way, flypaper may have two sides, but it matters a great deal to the fly which one he lands on.
This little philosophy lesson is a primer for studying the Middle East because our basic sense of fairness leads us to listen to both Arabs and Israelis and to often accept that each side's arguments are equally valid and equally just. They are not. At times, one side or the other takes a position that is not completely accurate or sometimes even an outright fabrication. As an example, let's examine perhaps the most controversial issue in the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, the question of Jerusalem.
Israel says Jerusalem is its capital and must remain undivided whereas the Palestinians insist that they should be allowed to control part of the city and make that its capital. Both people live there, why not share?
Consider some facts. Jews have been living in Jerusalem continuously for nearly two millennia. They have constituted the largest single group of inhabitants there since the 1840's. By contrast, Jerusalem was never the capital of any Arab entity. In fact, it was a backwater for most of Arab history. Jerusalem never served as a provincial capital under Muslim rule nor was it ever a Muslim cultural center. During the 19 years Jordan ruled the city, no one insisted that it become the capital of a Palestinian state.
One reason why Israel is asked to give up control of its capital is that the city is holy to Muslims as well as Jews. The two religions do not see Jerusalem in the same way, however, because Jews consider the entire city sacred, whereas Muslims revere a site —— the Dome of the Rock —— not the city. "To a Muslim," observed British writer Christopher Sykes, "there is a profound difference between Jerusalem and Mecca or Medina. The latter are holy places containing holy sites." Besides the Dome of the Rock, he noted, Jerusalem has no major Islamic significance. In fact, far more Christian shrines are in Jerusalem than Muslim ones.
Jerusalem contains the Western Wall of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, but the city's centrality to the Jewish people goes beyond reverence for this place. Ever since King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel 3,000 years ago, the city has played a central role in Jewish existence. Three times a day for thousands of years Jews have prayed, "To Jerusalem, thy city, shall we return with joy," and have repeated the Psalmist's oath: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning." Jews around the world face Jerusalem when they pray and each year they conclude their Passover seders by singing the song, "Next Year in Jerusalem." Another holiday, Tisha B'Av, commemorates the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem. And, at Jewish weddings, the groom breaks a glass in memory of the destruction of the Temple.
Recently, much of the debate has focused on whether Israel should relinquish sovereignty over the Temple Mount. According to the Palestinian Mufti, Ikrima Sabri, "There is not [even] the smallest indication of the existence of a Jewish temple on this place in the past." This is an outright lie. The Jewish connection to the Temple Mount dates back more than 3,000 years and is rooted in tradition and history.
Sometimes a position on Jerusalem is made more subtly. For example, you might here someone say that freedom of access to the holy places must be guaranteed. The implication is that Israel denies Muslims and/or Christians the right to visit their shrines. The truth is that Israeli law guarantees freedom of access and any Arab, Christian or Muslim, is free to pray as they like. In fact, responsibility for the shrines of each religion is given to their own authorities. Thus, for example, the Muslim Waqf now controls the day-to-day activities on the Temple Mount.
Freedom of access is also a sensitive issue for Jews because they were denied access to the Western Wall and their holy places in the Old City by the Jordanians for the 19 years they controlled the city. Israel also has reason to suspect Palestinians will not respect Jewish shrines given their destruction of Joseph's Tomb in Nablus and the Shalom al Yisrael synagogue in Jericho last year.
To stake a claim to the city, Palestinians (and the media goes along) often refer to "Arab East Jerusalem." While Palestinians in the city may be concentrated in the eastern region, this does not mean they are entitled to control the area. Before 1865, the entire population of Jerusalem lived in the Old City. Later, the city began to expand beyond the walls because of population growth, and both Jews and Arabs began to build in new areas of the city. By 1948, a thriving Jewish community was living in the eastern part of Jerusalem, an area that included religious sites such as the City of David, the Temple Mount and the Western Wall and major institutions like Hebrew University and the original Hadassah hospital. The only time that the eastern part of Jerusalem was exclusively Arab was between 1949-1967, and that was because Jordan occupied the area and forcibly expelled all the Jews.
In the interest of peace, it may be necessary to negotiate a compromise on Jerusalem, but it is important to separate fact from fiction when assessing the positions of the parties. Israel and the Palestinians make claims to the city, but that does not make them equally valid.

That release will be delivering SPC charts and statistics, multi-lingual support for reports, connectivity to new partners (yet to be announced), Data Models and more."
Partner enhancements are focused on additional connectivity with their products. Version 4.64 changes include UI improvements to pave the way for future web based deployment, and productivity enhancements continuing to improve upon ease of use and report building speed. This release also includes broad support for Historian "Aggregate" functionality in both proprietary drivers and OPC HDA.
The aggregate support has been tested with Dream Report "Proven Partners" Kepware and Canary Labs. Additional features include dynamic image support, delivering the ability to incorporate a variety of pass/fail graphics, and automated image captures in reports and dashboards. New FTP file collection enables Dream Report to collect remote history files and process them, a requirement of many Smart Recorders and Panel HMIs. The Dream Report Web Portal also received a great deal of enhancement. It takes on a modern look and feel, and performance is greatly improved through a new "Power Generator" feature for parallel report processing.


The last few months have unearthed a huge number of accounting scams in the world and especially in USA. Although this is not a new phenomenon what has come as a rude shock to markets and investors is the scale and the blatancy involved in these recent scandals. Most of these cases belong to the erstwhile reputed and giant companies and the 'cooking' done by them has surely left the investor with a very bad taste in his mouth. What has certainly not helped is the fact that the numbers involved are in billions and the fall of the company so meteoric that the investor had no time to take corrective action.
· Spread of scams: Are the recent discoveries just small blots on a largely clean slate or is there sufficient data to suspect that the practices are more prevalent?
· Methods used in these scams: Are these scams a manifestation of the loopholes present in the current accounting standards or is it a case of illegal accounting done in connivance with the auditors?
· Reasons for these scams: What are the basic reasons for the occurrence of these scams? Is the market itself partly responsible for these scams?
· Possible solutions: Now that these scams have surfaced, what are the various options available with the government and the regulatory authorities to protect the interest of the investor in future?
· A recent study conducted last year by Global Data Services, a subsidiary of the credit rating agency CRISIL, has come out with alarming figures related to misreporting of figures. Out of 639 companies included for the study, 139 companies were found to have overstated their profits, some to the extent of 1000 per cent over the norms set by CRISIL.
· Department of Company Affairs (DCA) charged as many as 73 companies last year of fund-diversion, inadequate disclosure of information in balance sheets, misleading reports on utilization of funds/cash-flows and violation of accounting standards.
· Kanpur based Midas Touch Investors' Association has prepared a list of 229 companies that have been identified as 'having vanished ' with investors' funds in the post 1993 IPO mania.
So even though some of the high-profile cases capture the attention of the investor, the problem is deep-rooted.
· Nestle India's contingency provision swelled from Rs 42.08 crore in 1998 to Rs 103.8 crore in 2001 accounting for around 12% of Nestle's total assets. This helped Nestle present a more stable growth in profit in that period and also left a sufficient buffer to cover up for a bad year in future.
· Hindustan Level Limited (HLL) has been using a method of accounting whereby it proportionately allocates the "restructuring charge" (charge related to mergers and disposals etc) to all the four quarters of a year to smoothen the profits. Also interestingly, in the forth quarter HLL finds that the restructuring costs have been lower than estimates and hence it is able to show better figures for year-end profits.
· Proctor and Gamble (P&G) Hygiene division explained its 42% slide in net profits in 2001-2002 compared to the previous year by mentioning in the annual report that the previous year's figures contained an exceptional income of Rs 10.05 crore. Interestingly this fact was never mentioned in the annual report of 2000-2001 when the income was actually realized.
The list of cases that can be presented here is endless and contains renowned companies like Reliance, Ranbaxy, Dr Reddy's Labs etc. It can be seen that if the so-called pioneers of the industry are indulging in such activities, then the state of affairs at the relatively overlooked second rung companies is not difficult to imagine.
Reasons for the irregularities – Do we look inwards?
· Accountability of auditors: There is an inherent contradiction in this system that the auditors are paid by the companies themselves and hence the auditors are reluctant to present the actual figures due to the fear of the loss of the long term contact with the company.
· Misplaced priorities: Stock markets lay too much emphasis on the short term parameters of performance like 'sales' and 'net profit' of any company without giving adequate importance to the measures taken by the company to improve long term profitability. So companies are tempted to be short sighted to present good figures for the current period putting at stake the long term profitability of the company.
· Personal gains for Managers: Most of the managers at top positions have an ESOP component to their salaries which means that they gain directly by an increase in the share price. So they are tempted to present better figures in the markets.
It is fair that any instance of malpractice by a company should be condemned in the harshest of words and penalized by punitive action. But the markets and investors should also look inwards and see their contribution to the present state of affairs. May be there is a case for giving more importance to the long term steps taken by the company to increase profitability even if these steps result in slightly poor results in the short run.
· Improving the accountability of audits: This can be improved by implementing a system where the auditors are not paid by the companies but by the stock exchanges as they have larger interest in getting the credible figures from the companies. Another option to look for is to implement a system where no auditor is allowed to audit the same company again in the next 5 years so that the business considerations do not come into the picture for the auditors. Also there is a need to stop the consultancy services offered by the auditors as the companies use it as a carrot to make the auditors close their eyes.
· Reworking the standards: Indian accounting standards are based on the Companies Act 1956. There is a need for a complete overhaul of the accounting standards and making them binding on all audit firms. Best practices from all over the world should be studied and the act should be changed to enforce stricter laws. SEBI should also be a part of this 'overhaul' committee to include the interest of the investors.
· New regulator: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has failed miserably in its role as the regulator and there is a need to create a separate regulating body which could comprise members from the RBI, SEBI, Comptroller General of India and of course ICAI. This regulating body should be given adequate power and the authority to enforce the rules of the game.

Akron, Ohio, Schools to Get Anti-OD Med Narcan, but Not Everybody Agrees
An Akron school board member who opposes equipping nurses with Narcan says they could be a "crutch" for students who do drugs.
Akron, Ohio, Board of Education member Debbie Walsh.Akron Public Schools
July 12, 2017, 8:07 PM UTC / Updated July 13, 2017, 1:21 AM UTC
By Corky Siemaszko
There was one dissenter when the school board in Akron, Ohio, voted this week to start stocking medicine cabinets with what all members agree is a sad sign of the times — the anti-overdose drug Narcan.
And that school board member, Debbie Walsh, said she was bracing for blowback for casting that no vote.
Ohio School District Votes to Put Heroin Antidote in Schools
July 12, 201701:32
"But blowback is not what I've received," Walsh told NBC News on Wednesday. "The people who talked to me said they agreed with me. They, too, are worried that having it on hand might be creating an even bigger problem by sending the message to kids: 'Don't worry, take drugs. We've got Narcan to save you.'"
While public policy experts and organizations like the National Association of School Nurses beg to differ, Walsh is not the first public official in Ohio to publicly oppose a policy that appears to be gaining widespread acceptance elsewhere in the state.
In recent weeks, the sheriff of Butler County announced that he would not equip his deputies with Narcan (a brand name for naloxone), and a City Council member in Middletown asked his legal department to look into whether authorities are legally required to dispatch ambulances to rescue drug addicts who repeatedly overdose.
Both cited the rising cost to taxpayers as part of their reasoning — and both are Republicans.
Walsh, who is also a Republican, said, "I got positive responses from both sides of the aisle."
"Politics wasn't my driving force, and neither was the cost," she said. "Every life is valuable, and there's no price on life. I am for protecting our students, and I agree that Narcan is a lifesaver. But I think it can also become a crutch and stop some people from taking personal responsibility."
Walsh's reservations echo those of past opponents of setting up needle exchanges and distributing condoms to stop the spread of AIDS, who argued that such moves were just encouraging drug use and sex.
But Walsh's logic did not fly with Dr. Matthew Davis, a professor of pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and head of general pediatrics at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
"Health care workers in hospitals and first responders in communities have had naloxone on hand for decades, but there is no evidence that having naloxone as an antidote has encouraged Americans to try street drugs and abuse prescription opioids," Davis wrote in an email to NBC News. "Similarly, we would not expect teens to abuse opioids because naloxone is available in their schools."
Naloxone, he wrote, must be "part of comprehensive drug use prevention programs in schools and communities, to try to reduce drug use among teens."
"Making naloxone available in junior high and high schools is smart public health policy, given what is known about teens' misuse of prescription opioid medicines and teens' use of heroin in the U.S. today," he added.
Having naloxone on hand "is just like putting a defibrillator on the gym wall for a heart attack, or having injections of epinephrine available for someone who can't breathe because of a severe allergic reaction," he wrote. "They are tools made available to save lives."
Ohio has been hit especially hard by the national opioid overdose epidemic. In 2015, it recorded 3,050 drug overdose deaths. And preliminary data for 2016 from the state Health Department show the death toll rising to 3,986.
"The school nurse is often the first health professional who responds to an emergency in the school setting. When administered quickly and effectively, naloxone has the potential to immediately restore breathing to a victim experiencing an opioid overdose."
The young have not been spared. In the 15-19 age group, there were 23 fatal overdoses in 2014, 31 in 2015 and 29 last year.
Summit County, which is where Akron is located, saw a spike in fatal overdoses for that age group last year, with nine — up from three in 2015 and one in 2014. But no opiate overdose deaths were reported there or anywhere else in Ohio for youths ages 10 through 14, which includes middle school students.
To prevent more teenagers from dying, Gov. John Kasich has taken a number of steps that include "expanding access to naloxone to save lives," said Russ Kennedy, a Health Department spokesman.
"It is a local decision by schools regarding whether they want to carry naloxone," Kennedy said.
Margaret Cellucci of the National Association of Schools Nurses said it is a position the organization endorses.
"The school nurse is often the first health professional who responds to an emergency in the school setting," NASN said in its position statement.
"When administered quickly and effectively, naloxone has the potential to immediately restore breathing to a victim experiencing an opioid overdose," it said.
Akron, the fifth-largest city in Ohio, with a population of near 200,000, has six high schools and nine middle schools.

Here's How Much Money You Need to Be "Wealthy" in San Francisco
A survey from Charles Schwab shows just how high the cost of living is in the Bay Area.
By Katie Dowd
Marcio Jose Sanchez, Associated Press
A new Charles Schwab survey says that in order to be considered "wealthy" in the Bay Area, you need a net worth of at least $6 million. A net worth of $1 million is the baseline for being "comfortable."
(Excuse us while we take a quick break to cry into the $8 artisanal coffee that we really can't afford.) Charles Schwab surveyed 1,000 Bay Area residents aged 21 to 75 in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Solano counties. The survey asked what residents considered enough money to be "wealthy" vs. "comfortable."
Respondents said they believed $2.5 million was the average needed to be wealthy in other parts of the country.
Unsurprisingly, the survey also found that locals are shocked by the cost of living. Eighty-six percent said the cost of living is "unreasonable" and 55 percent said living in the Bay Area makes it "difficult to reach their financial goals." Only two percent agreed strongly that the cost of living in the Bay Area is reasonable. Who these people are, exactly, remains a question.
Off-setting those sobering statistics are upbeat outlooks on job opportunities. Eighty percent believe the region is a great place for career growth, 88 percent say it's a prime place for innovation and 70 percent say the Bay Area's economy is better than the national one.

Building A Conscious Community: Q&A with Stephanie Dickson, Founder of The Wedge Asia and Green Is The New Black
by LadyBoss Team
Stephanie Dickson is a marketer, event organiser and avid connector of conscious individuals and brands. She is the founder of The Wedge Asia, a leading platform that connects conscious brands with conscious people through a series of events. They are building a community for people who want to live more consciously by providing bite-sized information through their three slices of inspiration, knowledge and action.
This Saturday, be sure to catch Singapore's 1st ever conscious festival called Green Is The New Black (GITNB) which Stephanie also co-created. GITNB provides six unique platforms to showcase Singapore's most innovative trailblazers and local brands across F&B, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and entertainment sectors.
Since our launch in June 2015 we've had over 1000 people attend our events and have reached over 1.3 million people in Singapore and the region.
LadyBoss spoke to Stephanie about her entrepreneurship journey and how GITNB came about.
Q: Tell us about your business, The Wedge Asia. How long you've been doing it, and who your customers are?
A: Most people aspire to make a difference but are overwhelmed with opportunities and information. There is so much to learn, so much to do, but where to start? We make it easy, simple and accessible, by organising events, bringing together experts to share bite-sized wedges of wisdom and a whole community of people who want to improve themselves and do good. Think of it as a monthly dose of inspiration, knowledge and action.
We are The Wedge, Singapore's leading Conscious Community and Green Is The New Black, Asia's first Conscious Festival. Our mission is to help people to live more consciously and thrive in their most magnificent lives.
Since our launch in June 2015 we've had over 1000 people attend our events and have reached over 1.3 million people in Singapore and the region. Our events feature highly accomplished entrepreneurs and experts who have made meaningful change in their industries, won awards and are best selling authors.
Q: What were you doing before entrepreneurship?
A: Before diving into the entreprenurial rollercoaster, I used to plan luxury event and fashion weeks around the region, in Singapore, Bangkok and Vietnam. As someone who has always loved bringing people together and had a passion for fashion, this was a dream job for me, and boy did we have some incredible experiences!
It really was a little bit like 'The Devil Wears Prada', where I got to meet some of the most influencial people in fashion from around the region and Europe while being thrown into the deep end and learning very quickly how to swim. One time I went to Paris for a day to meet a designer and return a few stunning couture gowns. It was gruelling, but I can't imagine a better education and am very grateful for the experience.
Green Is The New Black is our answer – a conscious festival for truth seekers wanting to improve the way they live, work and consume while doing more good in the world.
Q: What's the idea behind Green Is The New Black?
A: When I quit my previous job, I was on a bit of autopilot and didn't realise how my choices mattered and how much I could control my path. When I looked at my life, I realised that I was wasting time on things that weren't important to me, that I was mindlessly buying and there were things in my wardrobe I hadn't even worn, and that I had a very negative internal chatter. When researching I was shocked at the impact that we as individuals have and was inspired to do something about it.
I started seeking out how people could to be happier and improve their lives. When looking around I found there were others who were seeking too. So, Green Is The New Black is our answer – a conscious festival for truth seekers wanting to improve the way they live, work and consume while doing more good in the world.
It's a one day festival where we're bringing together thought leaders and change makers from around the Asia and beyond to transform the way we think through a series of game changing talks. We have also curated over 70 local companies in the marketplace who are going about their business in a more mindful way. And are spotlighting the best of Singapore's healthy eateries along side live music from local artists. Guests can also go green by getting hands on with one of the workshops.
The idea is to give people a 360 degree look at conscious living, so that no matter where they are on their journey, they can come, meet some cool people doing amazing things, and get the inspriation and the knowledge to take positive action.
Q: Who is your target audience?
A: Our target audience is millennials, both expatriate and Singaporean, predominately female but male as well. People who are curious about making a difference and living better, are searching for something more. They pursue wellness on a daily basis, are curious to find out the story behind a brand and meet people who are leading the way. No matter where people are on their exploration, they can join us and take it to the next level or have a refresher.
Q: In terms of sales and marketing, how do you reach your customers, and what works?
A: In the beginning Facebook was a wonderful tool for us to reach our community, one our events reached 150,000 people! However, now it is very saturated, with so many notifications and event invites daily, and with Facebook's constantly changing the goal posts it can be difficult to keep up. Now we always run targeted ads to reach our followers each month for our next event and send out newsletters which works for us.
Word of mouth is one of the best form of marketing for us. So we work on building relationships with our loyalists and they become advocates for our events which is invaluable. The other is partnerships through our network – collaboration is the future of business. There are so many incredible people creating complimentary products and services to ours, so we work together – there is power and strength in numbers. If we can share, to help someone else out, or introduce our community to something that we truly believe in, why wouldn't we?
Consistency is a big focus. Consistently turning up each week, whether through a newsletter, event, videos etc, because consistently not only reminds your customers that you exist on a regular basis, it also builds trust, and trust is the basis of all relationships.
Ultimately I would like Green Is The New Black to become the go to place and event for all things conscious with a global community of people who support each other and pioneering conscious living.
Q: How many people are you expecting at the event?
In 2015, our inaugural Green Is The New Black, we had over 600 people join us. This year we are estimating over 1500, but of course you can never really predict the numbers for an event that is free and open to the public.
The TALKS are ticketed and the capacity of the room is 160. We have 3 Tracks exploring a 360 degree look at conscious living from Being, Doing and Having with over 20 thought leaders from around the world.
Q: Where do you see the future of GITNB? Ultimately what is your vision for GITNB?
The great thing about being a young business with lots of flexibility is the ability to grow and adapt. I definitely see us pivoting slightly in the next 6 months to provide more value in between the events and developing a deeper eco-system for Green Is The New Black.
When I look to the future, I want to have two pillar events which bring together people region wide and have other Wedge chapters in different cities to spread and support the conscious movement across Asia. Ultimately I would like Green Is The New Black to become the go to place and event for all things conscious with a global community of people who support each other and pioneering conscious living.
Q: Tell us about your Number 1 business challenge?
Our biggest challenge is having a big vision and a tiny team. There is so much we want to do but we have to be realistic about our time, skillset and actually being kind to ourselves on what is possible in what time. Its important for us to be realistic about what can be done in a certain period of time and being okay with things not going exactly to plan.
Time is always the enemy for young businesses so its about changing the mindset on this, and putting into place productivity hacks and also lessening the pressure so that moral is still kept high.
I truly believe that if each of us were a little more conscious in just a few aspects of our lives we'd be happier, healthier and lessen our burden on the planet.
Q: As an entrepreneur, what motivates you personally?
Great question. Each month at our events, there is always at least one person who comes up to me to thank me for putting the event together – something shifted for them or they felt like a speaker was speaking right too them or they made an invaluable connection or got clarity or motivation on something they were searching for. That makes me feel like I have done my job and that all the sweat (and sometimes tears!) has been worth while. I truly love bringing people together and providing a platform for people to share their stories, to learn, to be inspired and to then take action to live more consciously.
I truly believe that if each of us were a little more conscius in just a few aspects of our lives we'd be happier, healthier and lessen our burden on the planet. Figuring out how I can bring more value and create better events and experiences to promote conscious living really motivates me.
Q: What would be your advice for aspiring women entrepreneurs?
I will quote the words of someone who has been a huge inspriationg to me, Marie Forleo. When I first heard this it was a game changer for me 'Clarity comes form engagement not thought' – if you are aspiring to be an entreprenur, just start taking action. You will not get clarity from thinking and planning the whole time, you need to take baby steps towards what you think it is you want to do, and pretty soon you will build momentum, pivot and be on track to what you really want to do.
The other piece of advice is be sure that you are ready to sacrifice, as building a business is a lot of work and commitment. You are stepping onto a rollercoaster, there will be incredible highs and most likely incredible lows, but if you keep taking action, putting one step in front of the other, nothing can stop you – well except maybe you. So always believe in yourself.

Q: How to avoid maven compiling testClass in normale compiling I have a default maven project:

*

*/src/main/java

*/src/test/java (include *Test.java).

When I exeucte "mvn compile", maven also tries to compile the testClasses under /src/test/java. This fails, as of some dependencies such as JUnit are under "test"-scope. Changing the scope of e.g. JUnit to "provided" everything works fine.
How can I avoid maven to compile testClasses when compiling? In my understanding, I expect to maven to compile this files only when executing "testcompile".
I am using maven 2.2.1

A: I believe it is nothing to do with the scope of JUnit.  Normally we set JUnit's scope to test (instead of provided) and everything is just fine.
src/test/java is compiled by Maven Compiler Plugin's testCompile goal.  However, you don't need to explicitly run that goal.  Please have a look in topics about Maven's Lifecycle.  For example, if you run maven install, it is implicitly going through many phases (e.g. compile, compile test, generate resources etc), and many of them is bounded to a default plugin goal.
If you want to avoid test source from building, from Maven Compiler Plugin's usage page, compiler:testCompile will be skipped if you turn off testing by setting maven.test.skip=true
So, if your unit tests are not yet ready, just build with Maven, with -Dmaven.test.skip=true parameter.
Just to add, this is absolutely not a good practice to assume "unit test failing" being normal during development.

A: Just use the skip parameter for the maven-surefire-plugin which skip tests as well as compiling the test.

A: The pom.xml had defined "sourceDirectory" incorrectly. Removing it fixed the issue

A: Instead of command "maven clean compile" , use "mvn  -B -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean compile". This parameter skips test.

Theodore William Schempp (1904–1988) was an American artist and art dealer. He dealt in pre-Columbian art, and modernist works. He sold to other dealers, institutions and collectors, and collected art in his own right.

Early life
He was the second son of William Frederick Schempp and his wife Della Karstetter of Brodhead, Wisconsin, born February 10, 1904. His father edited the local newspaper there; and died in 1929.

Schempp attended Brodhead High School, and went on to Oberlin College, where he studied the piano. He graduated B.A. in 1926. He took the Conservatory music course there, to 1927, for the Mus.B. degree. He then moved to Paris, continuing his piano studies under Alfred Cortot. He also painted.

Villa Schempp
The Villa Théodore Schempp was built by Marcel Zielinski, a student of Robert Mallet-Stevens, at 5 rue Gauguet, 14th arrondissement of Paris, over the years 1928 to 1931. It was part of a terraced development of International Style artists' studios at 3, 5 and 7 rue Gauguet. Having been for a time in the 1950s the studio of Hans Hartung, no. 5 is now the premises of Galerie Schirman & de Beaucé.

Art dealer, Paris and New York
In 1937, Schempp abandoned his career in music, and concentrated on dealing in art. He sold two modernist painting at the beginning of the year to Walter Arensberg and his wife Louise. That year also, he sold a 1925 work by Marcel Duchamp to Earl Stendahl.

Georges Braque lived in the same area of Paris, with a studio on rue du Douanier; and he and Schempp became friends. Schempp sold a Braque still life from 1943 to Toledo Museum of Art, around 1950.

Ellen H. Johnson, a friend, wrote that Schempp "frequently traveled to the States, bringing with him fine examples of the current School of Paris". A 1940 exhibition of modern French art at Oberlin College showed works lent by Schempp, and others from the Herron Museum, Smith College Museum of Art and the Phillips Memorial Gallery. In the fall of 1941 Schempp was on the West Coast, where he hung an exhibition of Fernand Léger at the Stendahl Galleries.

Having spent years out of France, Schempp returned soon after the end of World War II.  In 1946 Nicolas de Staël took a studio at 7 rue Gauguet, and associated with Braque. At this point he was selling in Paris through Louis Carré. Schempp met de Staël in 1947, and, from about 1950, was his dealer in the United States, selling his works in particular to collectors in the Mid West.

Later life
In 1962 Schempp became dealer for Claude Garache. He died in Palm Springs in 1988.

Family
In post-war Paris, Schempp met the artists' model Odile Arnould, and they formed a relationship. Much later, they were married.

Cat's out of the bag: Sharpton outed as FBI informant
Herb Boyd | 4/10/2014, 9:14 a.m.
Sharpton at the National Action Network convention
With President Barack Obama scheduled to speak Friday at the National Action Network's annual convention, the website the Smoking Gun felt it was an opportune time to dig up some old dirt to smear the Rev. Al Sharpton and, by extension, tarnish the president.
Smoking Gun, the reverend said at a press conference Tuesday morning at NAN, was "fired long ago," or misfired in charging him with wearing a wire back in the 1980s as an informant for the FBI.
At the press conference, in a phone interview later with the Amsterdam News as well as on his television show on MSNBC that evening, Sharpton insisted that he was not an informant but rather was cooperating with an investigation.
"I was not an informant," he said on "PoliticsNation." "I was an American citizen."
The Smoking Gun ran a lengthy article by William Bastone and others featuring several documents culled from FBI files and Freedom of Information Act requests. Sharpton is listed as "C1-7" (Confidential Informant No. 7), though this must be taken at face value since there is no way to know the informant's true identity.
"CI-7 or B-19," Sharpton cracked at the press conference, "I have no idea what that's about." He also snapped back at the headlines in the Daily News and the New York Post. "I am not a rat, I'm a cat. I chase rats."
Unlike his explanation in his book "Go and Tell Pharaoh," Sharpton admitted that he wore a wire for the FBI because he was being threatened by mob-like individuals, and he felt his life was in danger, especially from the Mafia. "Why was it OK when I was fighting organized crime and now I'm considered an informant?" he said during the interview.
"What they are doing is just another example of criminalization of Black men," Sharpton continued, countering the accusations of the Smoking Gun. "[It's] another way of stereotyping and demonizing us."
In his book, Sharpton raises a point about the timing of the disclosures of wearing a wire in 1983, and he asked why "it did not become public knowledge until 1988? And if I was in fact on the FBI payroll, as has been accused, why did they assault me then? The reason for the attacks is that by 1988, I had a profile, I was moving against the system."
Sharpton's profile is even more public now, and it is interesting that the Smoking Gun article cites the friendly relationship Sharpton has with Obama as if to warn him of the minister's past endeavors. The article states that Sharpton was "a paid informant," which we were unable to substantiate.
What the Smoking Gun article did not touch on was the extent to which Sharpton's spying reached beyond organized crime and into the activist community. We were reminded of this issue in an email from Sundiata Sadiq, a former president of the NAACP in Ossining, N.Y. "I was the only president who actively supported the story involving the rape and cover-up of Tawana Brawley," he wrote. "I truly believed her after hearing the pastor from the church in Newburgh of other rapes and law enforcement involvement."
Sadiq said it later surfaced that Sharpton was an agent working for the FBI. "A meeting took place in the Apollo Theater with Sonny Carson and others to listen to Elombe Brath expose Sharpton trying to lure Assata Shakur (Joanne Chesimard) into some kind of trap … later we learned Sharpton's TV was hooked up to the tape even when it wasn't on."
A much longer version of this episode was published by reporter Ron Howell in Newsday in October 1988, but Sharpton flatly denied trying to make contact with Shakur.
All the uproar around whether Sharpton is a rat or cat hasn't fazed Mayor Bill de Blasio's opinion. "Doesn't change the relationship one bit," the mayor told the press. "I'm very proud to be his friend. I think he has done a lot of good for the city of New York and this country."
On his television show, Sharpton said,
"I did what I tell kids everyday all over this country that they should do. And that is, deal with getting guns and crime out of their community and cooperate with the law."
And, in effect, Sharpton is saying, snitching is good.

XenServer 5.6 Feature Pack 1 Slashes Storage Costs
Noting the high upfront storage costs associated with VDI, Citrix introduced VDI IntelliCache as part of the latest XenServer rev. Citrix says dynamically provisioned virtual desktops in datacenters generate a high amount of disk activity, which bogs down performance and expands the use of costly network storage. However, some 80 percent of these writes to disk in the case of shared image desktops involve temporary or non-persistent data that should not be saved in SAN or NAS environments. IntelliCache identifies this traffic and caches it in local, server-side disks, which increases performance while decreasing VDI costs. This capability is sure to be welcomed by the growing ranks of VDI users.
Turning to the cloud, Citrix says the external adoption of cloud services is inhibited by the failure to unify existing network and cloud services into a "single pool of capacity" that supports the seamless services migration between datacenters and external cloud providers. Citrix's answer to this dilemma is the integration of Distributing Virtual Switching within XenServer.
According to Citrix, "DVS technology leverages industry-standard protocols such as OpenFlow to create an integrated network fabric that makes it easy to seamlessly manage on-premise and off-premise resources." This enables IT admins to manage their network traffic on a global basis, creates fault tolerance, improves traffic isolation, and links network policies and personalities to each VM. These characteristics remain attached to the VMs as they "move across virtual boundaries such as external cloud environments."
DVS is included in the free version of XenServer at no charge, with advanced controls available in upgrade editions.
There are two additional XenServer features of note. The first, Advanced VM Protection and Recovery, enables admins to schedule automatic snapshots of VM disk and memory states before archiving the images to specific secure storage locations. The second, the XenServer Web Management Console, provides admins an easy way to provide application owners direct access to VMs for which they are responsible. This web console can be accessed from any browser for uncomplicated daily management jobs, or for delegating daily management to individual owners.
XenServer 5.6 Feature pack 1 will be available in Q4.
