Only 14 Days until MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2003 SUPPORT IS ENDING.
Following on from the end of support for Windows XP in April last year, we are now rapidly approaching Windows Server 2003 end of life. After 14th July, Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for any version of windows Server 2003.
Maintenance costs: Running legacy servers is expensive, with maintenance costs of running the aging hardware.
No updates: End- of- support means that will no longer be any updates issued by Microsoft to fix bugs, performance issues and security vulnerabilities. To put this into perspective, 2013 saw the release of 37 critical updates for Windows Server 2003.
Software and Hardware compatibility issues: New software and hardware devices will not be built to integrate with Windows Server 2003, this means you may well run into compatibility issues and may not be able to run new instances of software or communicate with the latest devices.
Lack of support: When problems arise, AME's remote and phone-based technical support will still be available to assist you with issues but not to the current level. In addition to this you will no longer have the ability to contact Microsoft for Technical support services in the event of a server problem.
Computers running the Windows Server 2003 operating system will continue to work after support ends.
However, using unsupported software may increase the risks of viruses and other security threats. Negative consequences could include loss of confidentiality, integrity, and or availability of data, system resources and business assets.
There are several options available to customers looking to migrate from Windows Server 2003, businesses can upgrade to a currently supported operating system or can look at other cloud-based services.
Contact AME Solutions Microsoft Licensing Team today to find out how to upgrade your systems to ensure your network is fully secure. We will look at the best options available to you and put together a project plan to ensure that the migration runs smoothly.
UPGRADING TO WINDOWS SERVER 2012!
One of the best options moving forward is to migrate to Windows Server 2012 as it offers relatively good application compatibility with Windows Server 2003. It offers a lengthy list of improvements compared with Windows Server 2003, including integrated Virtualisation, better security and much more.
Customers that go beyond the termination of extended support place themselves at potential security risks and potentially in a regulatory noncompliance situation. Even if regulatory compliance is not a concern, the security improvements that Windows Server 2012 R2 offers are worth adopting if just to help defend against industrial espionage.
While many customers may feel like they are being sent on a force march to update Windows Server 2003, the reality is that the product is now in it's 11th year of use.
This could be a good opportunity to not only move forward to a newer version of Windows but also modernize and prepare for the next generation of computer where hybrid and public clouds are important components of next-generation IT.

Rock! Shock! Pop's Top DVD And Blu-ray Releases Of 2016!
2016 was an absolutely awesome year for DVD and especially Blu-ray releases, proving once again that physical media is far from dead. While we're not able to cover everything here at Rock! Shock! Pop!, we manage to cover a lot – and from that coverage we're pleased to present our picks for the best DVD and Blu-ray releases from the last twelve months. Truly we live in an age of miracles! So without further ado and presented in no particular order our Top Releases Of 2016…
The Exorcist III remains an excellent follow up to the original film – it's smart, it's scary and it's remarkably involving, taking the concepts in some unexpected but wholly effective directions. Shout! Factory has done a seriously fantastic job bringing this one to Blu-ray, presenting it in excellent shape, with the highly sought after director's cut and a host of other extra features. Highly recommended!
Burial Ground remains an awesome cinematic headscratcher, a mind-meltingly awful and awesome slice of gory Italian zombie horror and if nothing else it deserves credit for introducing the world to the one and only Peter Bark. Severin's Blu-ray presents the film in great shape and with plenty of fun extras too.
Essential for fans of Japanese Cinema and aficionados of gritty action flicks, Violent Cop will not appeal to everyone; but for fans of the film, this Blu-ray provides a worthy upgrade.
Carrie remains a high point not only in De Palma's filmography but in the filmed works of Stephen King too. It's a smart, well-made picture with some iconic set pieces, excellent performances and some themes that still pack a punch today, forty years after it was made. Shout! Factory has rolled out the red carpet for this release, carrying over all of the extras from the past MGM discs, adding a nice selection of new featurettes and giving the film a beautiful presentation. This leaves the previous Blu-ray in the dust, and one of those reissues that's completely worthwhile for anyone with even a passing interest in the film.
Count Dracula's Great Love is pretty solid stuff – a nice mix of gothic horror and straight up exploitation that moves at a quick pace and is shot with plenty of style. Naschy's great in the lead and the supporting cast are all in fine form. Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack release is a good one, presenting the movie in great shape and with some choice supplements accompanying it.
Severin's two disc Blu-ray special edition release of Doctor Butcher M.D. / Zombie Holocaust is pretty much the final word on the film. Not only do we finally get both versions of the film but they're both presented in transfers much improved over previous releases. On top of that we get a ridiculous amount of supplemental material – and a barf bag! Don't miss out. Highly recommended.
Blue Sunshine is a one of a kind cinematic oddity, the kind that could only have been made in the seventies. It's paranoid, it's over the top, it's scary, it's funny – and it is wickedly entertaining. Filmcentrix, have rolled out the red carpet for this one, presenting the film in a gorgeous transfer with rock solid audio, loads of extras and some great packaging and extra treats tucked away inside. Highly recommended!
Dolemite? Man, order this disc and give Vinegar Syndrome your cash, 'fore they have be to pullin' these Hush Puppies out your motherfuckin' ass!
Night Of The Demon is a truly great movie, a classic horror picture in every sense of that the term allows. The performances are great, the story is compelling and interesting, very ahead of its time in some ways, and the direction is remarkably strong. Couple that with the fact that it is an absolutely gorgeous film to look at and it is easy to see why it remains as popular is it is. Anolis' Blu-ray release is equally strong, presenting the movie in great shape and with a nice selection of extra features as well.
The old Grindhouse Releasing special edition DVD release of I Drink Your Blood was fantastic but this Blu-ray reissue is leaps and bounds above that standard definition offering. Not only does the movie look and sound better than ever but it's got some impressive new supplements and it comes packed with two additional feature films, also debuting in HD for the first time. The movie itself holds up incredibly well, a no-holds barred epic of nasty, exploitative horror that is as ridiculously entertaining now as it has ever been.
John Huston's filmed take on Moby Dick is classic high adventure! The film's themes of obsession and insanity are timeless, the characters wonderfully written and acted and the direction quite strong. Great production values and some impressive effects set pieces stand out here as well. Twilight Time's Blu-ray release would seem to represent the director's intended look for the film and the presentation is, with that in mind, quite good. Throw in a really interesting commentary and a few other extras and this is a really solid package for a truly great film.
A Lizard In A Woman's Skin remains a highpoint in Lucio Fulci's career and giallo cinema alike. It's slick, stylish, sexy and compelling – a genuine classic of the genre, and Mondo Macabro have done an excellent job bringing it in its full strength version to Blu-ray. The presentation is excellent, the extras as comprehensive as they are extensive and the overall care and attention to detail given to this release makes it pretty much essential for anyone interested in Italian cult films.
Return Of The Living Dead Part 3 was long overdue for a proper special edition release and thankfully, this Blu-ray is it. The film looks and sounds great, it is presented in its proper uncut form and it not only carries over the two commentary tracks from the old DVD but it adds a whole bunch of interesting featurettes to the package as well. It took a while to get here, but better late than never. Highly recommended!
The Pit is creepy. It's bizarre. It's unsettling and strange, a story that straddles the line between horror and some unexpected sleaze in its own inimitable style. Fans of offbeat horror pictures will eat this one up, and Kino's Blu-ray, nicely restored and loaded with extras, is a great way to check it out. Don't let this one pass you by.
Garagehouse Picture's Blu-ray release of The Satanist (with Sisters In Leather) is pretty great stuff. The movie is a blast, sure to appease anyone with a taste for late sixties black and white sleaze, and the extras – highlighted by an interesting commentary track and the second feature film – add a lot of value to the set. The presentation is also top notch. All in all, a great release!
Symptoms is a bit of a slow burn but it's really well done. The performances from the two female leads coupled with the gorgeous camerawork and the eerie locations make this twisted thriller one well worth seeking out. Mondo Macabro have given this one a long overdue Blu-ray release (the BFI are handling it in the UK) and it's a good one – an excellent presentation with some great extras too.
Cult Epics has gone all out with this set, reissuing the three individual discs with the new Schramm Blu-ray and including some great soundtrack CDs and an impressive insert booklet. The films won't be to all tastes, of course, and those who already own the earlier single disc releases may not feel the need to double dip, but this is an impressive package of some genuinely challenging cinema that deftly blends arthouse sensibilities with gutter trash exploitation tactics in deliriously confrontational ways.
Pigs is a weird little low budget seventies oddity that, while hardly any sort of masterpiece, has enough strange atmosphere and weird characters in it to make it worth a watch. Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack release blows the previous Troma DVD out of the water, presenting the movie in its intended form in great shape and with some impressive supplements rounding out the package. Highly recommended.
Cult movie fans and trashy horror movie junkies, consider this one the definitive release of Juan Piquer Simón's crowning achievement in cinematic insanity. The presentation is top notch, the extras as extensive as they are interesting, and the movie itself…. Well, it's exactly what you think it is.
What Have They Done To Your Daughters? remains a compelling watch, a tense and surprisingly action-intensive mix of genres that takes us into some decidedly dark territory. Camera Obscura's Blu-ray release is up to the label's typically high standards, presenting the film in excellent condition and with some fantastic supplements as well.
Shout! Factory's Collector's Edition two-disc Blu-ray reissue of John Carpenter's The Thing is excellent. The presentation offers a really big upgrade over the previous Blu-ray from Universal and not only carries over all of the supplements from that disc but adds quite a few new ones to the package too. The film itself remains one of the best horror/sci-fi films of the eighties, a remarkably tense and exciting film that keeps you on the edge of your seat. All in all, this is an excellent package – this is pretty definitive stuff, highly recommended!
Taboo holds up well, it's a psychologically compelling adult film that treats its controversial subject matter with maturity, but not at the expense of the requisite titillation! Kay Parker is great in the lead and the rest of the cast do fine work as well, while the technical merits of the production are quite solid. Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray debut for the film carries over all of the extras from the previous DVD release and throws in two new – and legitimately engaging – commentary tracks to compliment the 2k re-mastering.
The Witch may at times play out more like a historical drama than a traditional horror movie but it does an excellent job of building atmosphere and tension until it all basically explodes in the last twenty minutes or so. The film is an impressive debut. It is stylish, beautifully shot and remarkably well acted – all in all, it's quite effective and a nice alternative to much of what modern horror films have become. Lionsgate's Blu-ray debut for the movie looks and sounds excellent and it contains some decent extras as well.
Am I looking at this film through nostalgia-tinted graphics? Who knows? Who cares? Cannon's American Ninja is every bit as exciting and awesome as it was during that first viewing over thirty years ago and Olive's Blu-ray release is excellent
Macbeth is a masterwork, horror film as high art with one of cinema's greatest visionaries at the helm. That it isn't better known is a shame, but at least Olive's superior Signature Edition release does its part to rectify that. A beautifully dark and moody transfer, a secondary cut of the film, and a witches' cavern full of extras makes this one of the best Blu-ray releases of the year. Even if you own Olive's previous edition, you should consider double-dipping; this is one case where it's absolutely worth it.
Tenebrae remains one of Dario Argento's finest films, a tense and bloody thriller shot with loads of style and with a keen eye for startling compositions. On top of that we get a great cast, a fantastic score and some of the most memorable murder set pieces of the director's entire filmography. Synapse's Blu-ray release presents the film in excellent shape, with really strong audio and with a great selection of extra features as well. All in all, a pretty fantastic edition of one of the best giallo films of the eighties!
Twilight Time's Blu-ray release of Eureka is a good one, presenting this enjoyably eclectic picture in very nice shape and with a lot of supplements. The movie itself is a hyper-stylish and completely bizarre examination of greed and betrayal as only Roeg could deliver. It may be strange, surreal even, but anyone with an interest in the director's work owes it to themselves to add this to their collection.
A truly unique and wonderful film, it's impossible not to give JOHNNY GUITAR the highest possible recommendation. Crawford and McCambridge give outstanding performances and Olive's offering is a top flight affair from its superb transfer and audio down to the copious and excellent extras all the way to the spiffy slipcased packaging and booklet with informative liner notes. This is Criterion level stuff folks. Buy with confidence.
So, having laid all of that before you, there's one more mention we need to make – and that's label of the year. 2016 really was a banner year for Arrow Video. Not only did they release a ridiculous amount of really great stuff, but most of it was of excellent quality too. Let's start out with a look at their single film releases:
Creepshow 2
Dead End Drive-In
The Bloodstained Butterfly
Blood Bath
Black Mama White Mama
Microwave Massacre
Hired To Kill
The Mutilator
The Swinging Cheerleaders
Return Of The Killer Tomatoes
Rage Of Honor
Pray For Death
Sheba Baby
The Zero Boys
And then there were the boxed sets:
Female Convict Scorpion: The Complete Collection
Death Walks Twice
American Horror Project Volume One
Hellraiser: The Scarlet Box
The Herschell Gordon Lewis Feast
Killer Dames
Nikkatsu Diamond Guys Volume One
Nikkatsu Diamond Guys Volume Two
Outlaw Gangster VIP : The Complete Collection
All in all, an amazing year - and the best news of all? 2017 looks like it could wind up being just as good, if not better.

The included version is out-of-date, but can't be fixed with Adobe's updater.
Early users of Windows 8's built-in Internet Explorer may find themselves at risk of exploitation via the Flash plugin, as the version included with Windows 8 is out of date. Adobe patched Flash on August 21 to resolve known security flaws, but the patch can't be applied to Internet Explorer 10.
Internet Explorer 10 bundles Adobe Flash, with Microsoft taking on responsibility for shipping updates to the integrated plugin. One repercussion of this arrangement is that Adobe's patches and autoupdate mechanism can't be used; they can update the standalone version used by Firefox, but not the embedded version in Internet Explorer. The same is true of Chrome; it includes an embedded version of Flash, and the only way to update that is with a Chrome update. Adobe's updater can't touch it.
We will update Flash in Windows 8 via Windows Update as needed. The current version of Flash in the Windows 8 RTM build does not have the latest fix, but we will have a security update coming through Windows Update in the GA timeframe.
"GA" means general availability; it refers to the October 26th date when Windows 8 will go on sale through retail channels. There is a contradiction implicit in this statement; Flash in Windows 8 needs an update now, so plainly Microsoft is not updating it "as needed."
There is a broader underlying issue here. Microsoft's policy is, in general, to release software patches, including Internet Explorer patches, on the second Tuesday of each month. Adobe's is also to release them on Tuesdays—but the third or fourth Tuesday.
If these policies are retained, then there will be a systematic vulnerability window. Microsoft will patch Internet Explorer, and then a week or two later, Adobe will reveal a raft of new Flash security flaws when it patches Flash. Windows users will then have to wait several weeks for Microsoft's next update.
This is plainly not a desirable state of affairs, and we feel it must surely be something that Microsoft and Adobe have considered and addressed somehow. However, the company offered us no comment and no explanation of what the update policy will actually be. Delaying Internet Explorer patches so that they are synchronized with Adobe's releases, or bringing forward Adobe's Patch Tuesday so it is synchronized with Microsoft's, would both be viable options.
Whatever option the companies pick, the lack of policy statement is awkward. Enterprises in particular plan for and around Patch Tuesday; providing predictability to its patching schedule for enterprise users is precisely why Microsoft has a Patch Tuesday in the first place. If the nature of Patch Tuesday is going to change—as it surely must, to avoid regular periods of vulnerability to known flaws—then enterprise customers need to be told.
And given that those same enterprise users have access to Windows 8 already and can be deploying and using it today, waiting for GA to provide a fix is unacceptable. Windows 8 may not be released to everyone just yet, but it has been released to some customers, and that means it needs to be supported now.
wonder if any other company ever thought of this problem and unbundled it.
Why the hell would you even bundle a version of flash with an OS when a new exploit comes out almost quarterly?
I'm going to preemptively nip this in the bud because I had to do it on The Verge. You absolutely cannot manually update the IE version of Flash on Windows 8. The installer tells you Microsoft will do it via Windows Update.
Next MS will announce that Java will be added to IE 10.1. With no way to disable it of course.
MS keeps finding ways to shoot itself in the foot with Windows 8, this release has the stink of Vista all over again.
Or perhaps it's a cunning tick-tock scheme: release a bad OS every "tick", so people embrace the the "tock" version with open arms. 8 is just there to make us appreciate 9 more.
Apple started with Lion in new Mac's to not include Flash. If users wanted Flash they could download and install it. I think that is the better way to do plugin's. Trouble is that PC makers started to include plugin's because many users were just too dumb to know where to download them. Another option of course is to just embed Flash into the Browser like Chrome did. But in all honesty people should be smarter about PC's and when your talking about a beta OS like Windows 8 its very possible a older version of Flash was the only one that worked well with IE 10. This is common with beta OS and people should never consider a beta more secure or as secure as the current OS release. What I have done with my Mac's is uninstall Flash completely. I installed Chrome to be able to view any Flash content and its Sandbox's better in Chrome then Safari. Although I believe Safari 6 in Mountain Lion is a bit better.
Aren't you making a pretty big assumption that it will be Adobe who will be the first to patch a flaw? Isn't it possible that Windows will contain a bug fix prior to the Adobe update?
Flash updates take some time to develop/test. It may be quicker to test and release a fix for IE10 via Windows Update, since it only requires testing for a single browser.
Microsoft really needs to stop irreversibly inserting Java, Flash and most likely some other things.
Especially in such a way that they can't be disabled by the end-user.
I have several legitimate GM installs of Win 8 at work from our SA account. It isn't beta anymore when customers can legitimately download and install it.
Aren't you making a huge assumption that it will be the Adobe update which will be the first to patch a flaw? Isn't it possible that the Windows update will contain a Flash fix which Adobe will ship a week later?
That leaves non-IE10 users vulnerable.
That is crazy. Even the non Metro (Windows 8 Style UI) IE10 is stuck with the same limit? Lets hope they come out with a plan that makes sense.
It leaves them no more vulnerable than now. Unless there is an active exploit because either Microsoft or Adobe failed to patch a known flaw quickly enough, it just seems like you're spreading FUD.
Peter, as the "Microsoft" guy at ars, have you ever written a positive article about them? Or does Ars have a policy of only running Microsoft articles that present them in a negative light, like an adobe flash plugin that is out of date on an operating system that has not even shipped yet.... so very news worthy.
Especially puzzling since Flash is such old news. Why cause so many problems over something of such rapidly diminishing value and relevance?
Have you read your own comments today? For a site you hate so much, you seem to spend a lot of time here.
I doubt that Microsoft is going to be actively developing Flash, so even if they find a flaw, it has to go back to Adobe to get the fix, then back to Microsoft to be included in the patch.
Quick question: Can you disable flash inside of IE10? That might be the best solution, just turn it off and leave it off. Actually, that's the best solution for Flash in general, especially now that most video streaming sites have switched on HTML5 video modes as well.
It may be a security flaw, but no one is supposed to be using the RTM or Release Preview builds as every-day operating systems in the first place. The fact it won't be updated until the official release day makes perfect sense to me.
How Peter? Non-IE browsers (I mean Firefox and Opera) use another version of Flash and that CAN be updated with the normal installers on Windows 8.
How often do you read this site? Peter writes nice things about MS frequently. Often to the point that people accuse him of being some kind of paid shill. Go look up his articles about the surface tablet and MS general handling of touch controls. With 863 posts, I'd expect that you'd have spent more time actually reading the articles at this site.
EDIT: Not suggesting that I think Peter is a shill. I actually find his articles to be mostly even handed and fair.
Not likely. The flash team is not going to give Microsoft any priority. They are the only ones who can fix bugs in their product, and they are going to do their own testing first. When that is done, Microsoft will get a chance to deploy it, but they will probably do their own testing as well.
Because in the intervening week between Microsoft Patch Tuesday and Adobe Patch Tuesday, the bad guys know what the vulnerabilities are and can exploit them.
But if one doesn't use IE, how do you get exploited? I'm very much aware other apps use IE's engine, but surely that's not enough to activate the plugin?
It's neither old news nor rapidly diminishing.
You'd get exploited through Flash. That's what we're talking about here; Flash bugs.
The point I got was that whoever patches first, if MS is on one schedule and Adobe on another, there is a predictable window of vulnerability for whomever's products are updated second. So in the case of MS updating first, users of chrome and FF will have to wait until the separate updater is updated from Adobe. And in the case of Chrome, yet a third schedule (albeit likely more rapid) is involved. And in all cases, everyone waits on Adobe.
But if NOTHING else, MS is saddling users of Windows 8 IE, which has been officially released (even if not yet to retail), with a vulnerable product, and knowingly and deliberately doing so.
Peter is not even being his characteristically vehement self about this. It's fairly plainly a bad policy at MS to make people wait to get critical updates.
Ok, so I use Firefox with the fully updated NPAPI version of the Flash plugin. I never open IE. I make a conscious decision to not use apps that use the IE engine or embed IE in anyway that could activate the IE Flash plugin. How am I getting exploited through IE's outdated Flash? To be exploited through Flash, I would have to be using the vulnerable IE version of Flash, no?
Someone has to stop the fud. The contrast from this site to other sites like the verge are simply stunning.
yet another reason to uninstall IE, now to read the article..
I say that only because mobile Flash is dead, HTML5 is maturing, and in general the role of Flash in web applications is or will soon be, depending on the project, better filled by later technology. So I'm baffled why it seems like everyone but Adobe is trying to take over distributing Flash with their browsers; I would think, as a browser vendor, I'd be more interested in promoting the non-third-party features that enable my browser to do neat stuff without depending on Flash... And moreover, to leave it solely Adobe's responsibility to handle distribution and updates to Flash for those users who need it.
I just don't see what the big deal is. Let us assume that Adobe releases an update 1 week after Microsoft. Let us also assume the worst case scenario that a month has only 4 weeks. On average, in this scenario, there is a 25% chance that a patch was "final" after Microsoft shipped an update, and before Adobe did.
If Adobe prioritizes the update testing for IE10 (especially since Adobe would know that it needs to be shipped a week early), it should be possible to reduce that 25% chance above to somewhere close to 0%.
If IE updates Flash first, which was what was being suggested, then your NSAPI Flash is necessarily out of date and exploitable for a week or two, when Adobe releases its NSAPI patches on its own Patch Tuesday.
Microsoft really needs to stop irreversibly inserting Java, Flash and most likely some other things into cars.
This situation is better for preventing the problems you mention though. When everybody installed their own Flash, web developers would continue to build flash content as long as people kept installing the plugin. If we ever reach a point where almost everybody uses some embedded flash instead of manual installs, then a future in which flash is totally outclassed by HTML 5 means Google and MS can simply decide to stop including the "outdated" plugin and flash dies a quick death. Flash is dead on mobile almost entirely because Apple locked it out of their devices. They of course did this because it didn't work very well on their devices. But if they had left it up to user's manual installs and users decision to use it or not based on how well it worked, then it might still be petering along in the mobile space. Giving Google control over when Flash truly dies on the web or not solves this problem because (presumably) Google has a better sense of how capable Flash is relative to other web technologies than the average user does.
Is that a major way that malware writers learn about vulnerabilities? I would think that the patch information doesn't come with a lot of details, and that they would get more information from security discussions (which often seem to report exploits before patches, e.g. recent Java issues) and other malware writers. This is an honest question though.
If it's simply the knowledge that Flash has vulnerabilities, well I think it doesn't take a patch release for us all to realize that.
I'm sure this has been discussed or at least suggested before, but I don't recall seeing it: what if Adobe released a version of Flash without DRM capabilities as open-source? (They'd still be on the hook for a version that can play DRM'ed material). Or is this simply not feasible?
Edit: Yes, this would lead to customer confusion, but at least tech people might get some relief.
It is, yeah. A patch lets malware writers compare between versions, which lets them see what changed. It's a way to narrow down where to look for the vulnerability that the patch fixed, even without a security discussion explaining what it was.
Yes, it's a major way of learning about vulnerabilities. Binary diffing lets you determine which functions have changed, so you know which parts to disassemble and analyze for flaws. It's not the only technique, but it's one of them, and it's a powerful one.
This situation is better for preventing the problems you mention though.

I do like where you're going with that. You may be right.
If there was an exploit for the Flash plug-in, wouldn't IE10's "Enhanced Protected Mode" help stop it?


If you need to maintain your own software on the cluster, follow these best practices to create a reliable build and make sure you can repeat your work in the future.
Good software is reliable because you control the conditions under which it is built and used. It's all about the discipline of your practices as a developer, builder, or user.
Good research follows good practices.
This guide builds the software Breakdancer as an example because it is typical of evolving leading edge research software, it touches on a several build issues, and because it bubbled to the top.
The upstream build instructions for Breakdancer are on GitHub. You should always adjust upstream instructions to meet the needs of your local environment, in this case the environment of the cluster.
NOTE: This is a big part of reproducable results in research so it's important! Don't be a lazy builder.
Start with a pristine environment. You don't want careless inclusion of binary or library paths to alter your build environment. You want your build to be predicatable from one build to the next.
The most important variables to control for builds are PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Don't ever use the default PATH for a build. Define your PATH explictly for predictable results.
After this basis build environment is in place then you should add only the capabilities needed to complete the build into your environment.
A build can be thought of just like any other job. A task that helps you get your research done. You always want a tidy task environment to avoid confusion in the future.
You may also need to add other environment customizations specific to a build. A common example, the build may have dependencies on software that you built previously.
This mostly means adjusting the install path specified during the configuration step. In this example you make this decision with the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX cmake argument.
Most build steps published on project web sites assume you are the administrator of a computer environement and have full control over it. This is rarely a requirement and is a very poor assumption for shared computing environments.
If you configured your build correctly to install in directories you own you won't have any problem running the install step as yourself.
If you get permission denied errors at this step, you didn't build your software correctly for a shared computing environment. Go back to the configure step and start over.
This is where scaling a process and being a good cluster citizen comes into play.
If you are maintaining software on the cluster, consider the potential benefit to others who now may not need to build the software themselves if they can leverage your install.
Click "edit this page" on the page you get back.
As your first edit in your new page enter the following text string to add the AppStub content to your page so you can edit it. The "MyAppName" value should be the name of the new App you are documenting.
This is the AppStub template. Replace it's content with your own content for your specific App. See App Build Best Practices for more information.
First write a short blurb about what this App does and who might be interested in using it. You should provide a link to the upstream project. A Wikipedia page name reference can be helpful here, if it it exists.
How to use the software. Describe how to use it on the cluster by setting your environment.
Describe the steps followed to build this software.
NOTE: This is critical to reproducible research and should be considered a core part of your research notebook.
If you are providing support for this software on the cluster let folks know how to reach you. At least let the know where they can find help online in the upstream community.
At a minimum record the link to the upstream project from where you got this software.
See Editing_Docs for information on how to edit pages on this site.
Save this first version of the page with the comment "Derived AppStub template"
For well maintained Apps it's best to encode the runtime requirments using the modules system. Write a module file. This let's folks (and you) simply load the module and have the environment set up.
More importantly, it let's folks unload the environment when they are done and avoids creating cluttered unpredictable environments (a.k.a. sloppy research environments).

Hey, beautiful ladies. Today, I am going to be posting a blog that is a bit different than my normal fashion/beauty/lifestyle posts. I have so much content that I want to write, but this post was calling on my heart tonight. I realize that many of you read my blogs, but don't know who I am..yet! I wrote this post so you could get to know me as a blogger, daughter, wife, and friend! Listed below are ten things I want you to know.
My three favorite foods are chips & queso, pizza, and lettuce wraps.
Writing is something I've always loved to do. I used to have a diary, which I ended up calling a "journal" as I grew up. I wrote in my journal most days up until college, secretly of course. Back then, I felt like I had to keep all my feelings in a book. I dare not say them out loud or let someone else read them, for fear that my feelings wouldn't be mine anymore. I stopped when I went to college, and looking back, I wonder if it would have helped to write my feelings down. You sure go through a lot in college and I'm sure it would have eased my mind to put it all on paper. Anyways, when I got a job out of college, I began writing again. I would write a quick note about my day and slide it under my bed. After Ross and I moved in together, I stopped writing in a journal per say. I began writing to myself in my phone. Little things about my day would end up in my notes and when I would reflect back, it was a complete jumbled mess. That's when I began writing down thoughts on my computer. Quotes, thoughts, and moments ended up in a Microsoft document titled, "Untitled". I thought that title spoke a thousand words in and of itself. In November, I found myself itching to get a blog to share with the world. I worried that not everyone would enjoy it or that no one would read it, but I did it anyway. I am so happy I can finally share my thoughts and feelings with you all. Over the past few years, I've learned feelings make us human. We all have them and sharing them opens the door to honesty and possibility.
I was married to the love of my life on June 18th, of 2016.
If I could go back and tell myself one thing, I would go back the version of me that thought her life was over. I would say, "Katelyn, you are worthy, and you are stronger than you think." I wish I could tell her that everything would be okay and give her a big hug. I feel so sad for that version of me. She truly thought she was unloveable, unworthy, and broken. If you know me, you know that I once had my heart completely broken. I was with my high school boyfriend off and on until the end of college. One day he told me he loved me, and the next he texted me a breakup message, saying it was over. I never thought I would get through it. I thought that no one in this world could have ever experienced the pain I was going through. People would say they knew what it was like, but I didn't believe them. I thought my life was over. I didn't feel worthy. I went through the next couple years waiting for a text from him, waiting for him to tell me he made a mistake. It never happened. I would go on dates and feel sick to my stomach. How could I ever love anyone else? This is where the self doubt and hatred towards myself came in. What did I do wrong? Why am I not good enough? –Sitting here typing this makes me sad, sad because I wish I could tell that girl I used to be that everything would be okay…that she was worthy, independent, strong, funny, and caring. I wish I could tell her that she was whole with or without someone else. And that she would find the man who would make her the happiest woman in the world. A man that she never thought existed, a man that adored her, and a man that that always put her first. Girls, if you're going through a break up or have in the past, know you ARE worthy and that God works in mysterious ways. He has a plan greater than you could ever imagine. I didn't see his plan for a few years, but it was better than any I could have ever dreamed of.
Moving onto dessert… my favorite sweet treat is CHEESECAKE. It simply makes me happy. What kind you say? White chocolate raspberry, please! Orrr my mom's New York Style cheesecake.
If you've read my "About Me" section of my website, you've read that I used to believe that I didn't have an "artistic purpose". I loved art and creating, but any art I would attempt to make always failed. When I started seeing fashion and beauty as an art, I began to feel that artistic purpose. I started posting pictures a few months later, and here I am! Most girls that blog have always loved fashion and beauty. I actually didn't know much about it until I was around 22. Odd right? I have definitely always loved shopping and makeup but I didn't see it as expressive back then. Boy, have things changed.
Ross and I have a Scottish Terrier named Caden. He is our baby and he is spoiled rotten. He even has his own fancy pillows and a mini couch… I mean….why not?
― E.B. White, Charlotte's Web This quote has always been one of my favorites. Friends are a huge part of my life. I love my friends with all of my heart, and am beyond grateful to each of them for making my life better. I am grateful to the friends who have stuck by me since childhood, walking through life with me, and also having so much patience with me. I am thankful for new friends, who are getting to know me as a twenty something year old and who are showing me not only friendship, but support, and the beauty of growing with someone. I am thankful to the friends who I have lost touch with and the friends that I have lost over the years. Losing friends is one of the worst pains one can go through. It happens to all of us, but it never gets any easier. I am thankful for those friends that were there for me through those years. Even though we may not be friends now, they were once a huge part of me, and for that I am ever grateful. Friendship is a priority for me and having true blue friends makes my heart full.
Diet Pepsis (in bottles) & Diet Coke (in fountains)…why so complicated?
Thank you so much for all of your support. Whether you're my mom (hi mom!), my friend, a fellow blogger, or a fashionista interested in reading my posts, I appreciate you. I love each and every one of you and cannot thank you enough for taking the time to read what I have to say, "like" what I post, and comment your thoughts. You mean so much to me and I am so grateful for that.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog! We both went through a tough breakup it sounds like. And aren't we the lucky ones to have found the men of our dreams! That is so funny that you used to live in indy! I love it here!
What a brave post indeed but so glad you shared more. I enjoyed reading it and a few things we have in common… I had a journal in HS too and started writing on the computer in college but stopped writing. I love writing but dont always put it as a priority which is odd because I really do love it. Oh and I love cheesecake too! That's amazing you are a teacher, I am sure the kids love having such a fun and nice person in their lives. What a sweet pup. Lots of things to be thankful for.
Thank you so much for your response. That is so funny that we both loved to write and here we are now! Thank you for the kind words about being a teacher, means to much!

Cartier, Jacques 1494-1555 French navigator; Jacques Cartier. born at St. Malo, France, Dec. 31, 1494; was commissioned by Francis I., King of France, to command an expedition to explore the Western Continent. On April 20, 1534, after appropriate ceremonies in the cathedral at St. Malo, he sailed from that port with two ships, having each a crew of 120 men, and, after a prosperous voyage of twenty days, they arrived at Newfoundland. Sailing northward, he entered the Strait of Belle Ise la Roque on his way to the St. Lawrence. Cartier tried to induce him to turn back by giving him most discouraging accounts of the country, but he ordered the navigator to go back with him to the great river. Cartier disobeyed and sailed for France. The viceroy went above the site of Quebec, where he built a fort and spent the next winter in great suffering, returning to France in the autumn of 1543. Cartier had arrived the previous summer, and did not make another voyage. He died in 1555.

h government and discipline, as well as doctrine, in an embodied confession of faith. The Huguenots were then so strong that they confidently expected to be the dominant party in the state in time. They included some of the royal family and many of the nobility. Among the latter was Gaspard de Coligni, admiral of France, a man respected by both parties, a brave and patriotic soldier and sailor, and for a while the favorite of the queen mother and regent of France, Catharine dea Medici. In 1555 he formed a project of a settlement for the persecuted Huguenots in America; and in that year Henry II. furnished two ships, commanded by the Chevalier de Villagagnon, who, with a small Protestant colony, sailed from Havre-de-Grace in May, 1555, and reached the bay of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in September. Coligni provided ministers for his colony, and in a synod that year, held at The Huguenots——Landing of John Ribault (from an old print). Geneva, of which Calvin was president, the chur


I take great pleasure to write this letter in strongly recommending my favorite student Mr. ****, who will graduate from our department next June, for his application for graduate program at your university.
I have known Mr. ** since September 2004, when he enrolled in my course of Signals and Systems and Communication Principle. He has good grasp of theoretical knowledge and very good analytical ability. He accepted new concepts very rapidly and, was able to cross-fertilize ideas and techniques in my courses with those in other modules. I noticed that he had a deep understanding of the material. He did very well in both of the courses I taught, ranked among the top 10% in the class.

CRTC setting new Internet speed targets for all Canadian providers

He is also the author of the book, The Front (show all) Mike Vardy is a husband, father, independent writer, speaker, podcaster and "productivityist".

According to a report from the CBC, it won't be long before all Canadians will be able to download and stream faster. In fact, the new national Internet speed targets have set a timeline for this to happen within four years.
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission announced on Tuesday that it "expects all Canadians to have access to broadband internet speeds of at least five megabits per second for downloads and one megabit per second for uploads" by 2015. The CRTC, Canada's internet regulator, also said that over 80 per cent of Canadian households already meet or exceed that benchmark.
The targets were set as a result of a review that was conducted in late 2010 where the public was consulted on what role the CRTC should play in improving high-speed Internet access, as well as whether it should be considered part of basic telecommunications service and if any sort of subsidization should take place. While targets were set to enhance basic service across Canada, subsidies will not be part of the plan.
In order to facilitate the targets, the CRTC will utilize a combination of funding options from both the private and public sector, as well as investments.
The increase in download and upload speeds are a welcome change to basic services, as digital downloads through popular music applications such as iTunes and video streaming through services like Netflix are becoming increasingly popular. The addition of high-definition to video streaming and surround-sound increases the minimum speed requirements from 1.5 megabytes per second to approximately 6 megabits per second. Netflix noted that most Canadian ISPs average about 2.5 to 3 megabits per second as part of any basic service packages.

Predator kidnaps 5-year-old girl, then two teens save her with three words
In an age when people make friends and enemies over the internet, sometimes it can be easy to forget about your neighbors. Luckily for Jocelyn Rojas and her loved ones, this was not the case in their neighborhood.
Five-year-old Jocelyn was playing with her bicycle in front of her grandmother's apartment building around 4:00. Her mother, Jaimee, was keeping an eye on her from a nearby window, but her back was turned when a strange man in a maroon sedan drove up and offered Jocelyn ice cream.
When Jocelyn approached his car, he grabbed her by the neck and forced her into the vehicle.
"I took my eyes off her for five minutes, and she was gone," said Jaimee.
Frantic, Jaimee called the police, who worked with firefighters to blockade neighborhood streets. Emergency professionals, police dogs, and volunteers teamed up to try to find Jocelyn for over two hours, but it was no use.
Enter two teens from the neighborhood: Temar Boggs (age 15) and Chris Garcia (age 13). Temar was moving a couch for an elderly neighbor when someone approached him with a photo of Jocelyn. He remembers seeing the photo and feeling a call to action.
"I felt that I was going to find her," he remembered. Temar sought the help of his friend Chris and, with courage far beyond their years, the boys decided to take the search for Jocelyn into their own hands.
They had no plan, but they hopped on their bikes and started to investigate anyway. About half a mile from the scene of the crime, the boys spotted a maroon Chevy swerving down a side street, hitting a dead end, and making a U-turn. They thought it seemed suspicious, as if the driver weren't familiar with the neighborhood, so they followed it. Then they saw the Chevy abruptly make another U-turn to avoid a group of police officers and firefighters; the boys were on to something.
They tailed the vehicle for 15 minutes, determined to chase it until they were able to catch the driver.
"Every time we'd go down the street, he'd turn back around, and then… we'll follow him," remembered Temar.
Finally, Temar pulled his bike up right next to the car and found himself face-to-face with the kidnapper. Jocelyn was right there, sitting in the passenger's seat. He looked into the kidnapper's eyes and said the three words that would bring Joceyln home:
Inexplicably, Temar's words had some kind of profound effect on the kidnapper. He heard those three small words and let Jocelyn go.
"He stopped at the end of the hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom."
Moments later, Joceyln was reunited with her family, who alternating between hugging Jocelyn and Temar.

"He's our hero. There is just no words to say," said Jocelyn's grandmother.
Neil Harkins, chief of the Manheim Police Department, said that what the boys did that day was "something we don't normally hear about. For young boys to do, it was a very brave thing."
Temar and Chris may have become neighborhood heroes, but that's beside the point.
"I didn't do it for attention," said Temar. "I just wanted to help."
The kidnapper, a 63-year-old sex offender, was ultimately identified and brought into custody, thanks in part to the detailed facial description that both of the boys were able to give the police.

Proto-oncogenes are genes that when mutated can be involved in causing cancer. This research proposal addresses the function of the proto-oncogene Myb. An understanding of its normal activities should help to illuminate how the activated gene contributes to the genesis of neoplastic disease. This knowledge may also help to design strategies for the diagnosis or treatment of cancers in which myb has been implicated (e.g. leukemia, breast cancer, colon carcinoma). Myb genes encode DNA-binding proteins that regulate transcription, but the signal transduction pathway(s) in which Myb participates remain elusive. We identified and have been studying a Myb-related gene, Dm myb, in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, because it provides a powerful genetic and developmental system in which to dissect cellular and biochemical processes. We have generated both loss-of-function mutant alleles of Dm myb and transgenic lines that can be induced to ectopically express wild type and altered versions of the DMyb protein. Using these genetic tools, we have demonstrated that Dm myb functions to maintain the integrity of the genome. Specifically, it is required for progression into and through mitosis, suppression of endoreduplication, and maintenance of the appropriate number of centrosomes. In addition, ectopic expression of DMyb activity induces S-phase in diploid cells while suppressing S-phase in endocycling larval cells. This proposal is designed to further our understanding of the biochemical and cellular processes in which myb participates. We will perform experiments to: 1) identify genes that are physiologically relevant targets of transcriptional regulation by DMyb through a combination of molecular and genetic approaches; 2) gain further understanding of Dm myb function by characterizing its role in oogenesis/early embryogenesis, a setting in which we may be able to determine the primary defects caused by mutations in Dm myb; and 3) determine some of the mechanisms that govern the activity of the DMyb protein. Since all multicellular organisms face similar challenges during development of how to regulate cellular division and differentiation, the signal transduction pathways used for these purposes have been highly conserved during evolution. Therefore, insights gained from our studies in Drosophila should also enhance our understanding of Myb function in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation in vertebrates. ? ?
