Thoughts on Summertime Western Florida Cruising by Captain Barb Hansen

It’s Summertime and the Cruising is Easy
By Barb Hansen
July 2011
I was browsing you-know-what and read something a parent posted online. I Googled manatees. It was about Florida manatees, of course, but this entry reminded me about the wonderful age of 10.
And, may I suggest, it also was about why cruising in Florida ought to be on the summer vacation to-do list for every young family.
It was posted on an online form and the parent wrote, “We just got home from our wonderful trip to Sanibel for the first time. We saw a mother manatee nursing two babies near the lighthouse close to the shore on Friday Aug. 7… She also had about five other babies waiting their turn just poking their little noses out of the water. What an awesome sight for my 10 yr old daughter and me.”
This was an awesome sight and awesome times 100, I think, because it was shared by a parent and 10-year-old. Ten-year-olds – I’m sure you know this – are the perfect age for an experience like this but, hey, I’m sure this would be a wonderful thing to see for all children above the age of reason up to and including their parents.
The thing is, seeing manatees and frolicking dolphins in the wild is not at all unusual in Florida in the summer, especially when you’re on a boat. They call this the “low season” but manatees and dolphins don’t know that. For Florida’s wildlife, summer is the high season.
By the way Sanibel, mentioned by the parent of the 10-year-old, is one of our famous Gulf barrier islands and it helps shape the popular, protected cruising corridors on either side of Pine Island.
Here at Southwest Florida Yachts the summer pace is a tad more relaxed after a busy “high” season of chartering vessels to snowbirds escaping the cold up north. In the summer the calls often come from moms and dads asking what summer cruising is like because this is summer vacation and their kids are out of school. They’ve done Disney, and they are so over Disney.
Oh it’s very good, I say. Then I’m off on a summertime is the best time riff. Cruising is the just right thing for a family with children to do on summer vacation.
I tell them about seeing manatees and dolphins in the wild. I tell them about seeing a thousand wading birds feeding on a shallow flat and a thousand stars twinkling from the dark sky at night. It’s summertime. Living is easy. Fish are jumping.
I like showing off our lovely part of Florida to visitors during the low season and I’ve always thought it way too sad that so many fail to come here at a time of the year when Florida really shines.
This is “Real Florida,” as the tourism people call it. It really is. And the cruising is easy.

Brayden Schenn: Destined for the "Dub"

The next game Brayden Schenn plays for the Los Angeles Kings will be his ninth. Significant because that is the last game he can play this year before Kings management needs to decide whether to return him to his junior club or have this season count as the first against his entry level contract (ELC).

Earlier in the week, Kings’ management stated that they did not know what they would do and they would meet once he played his ninth game. They said all the nice standard comments, such as, “we’re going to keep our best players.” I’m sure they will, however, in this cap era, it isn’t just your best players, it’s your best players at prices that make sense.

The money is what I believe will drive their decision, and I believe the decision will be to send him back to Brandon, his junior club. Is it because that is the best place for him to develop? No. The best place for him is the AHL, but thanks to the rule governing CHL rights, that isn’t an option for Schenn. The reason he will be back in Brandon is money. His ELC calls for a cap hit of over $3 million thanks to his high draft position and unfortunately the ten or so minutes a night he is playing on the fourth line does not justify that large of a cap hit. Additionally, it does not make good fiscal sense to blow the first year of his ELC on fourth line duty. The Kings are better served waiting a year until he can take the place of Michal Handzus, who’s contract, and $4 million cap hit, is up after this season.

Patrik Elias - The $6 million man

Much has been made about the New Jersey Devils cap problems this season. The media attention that was given to their playing with less than 18 skaters for a couple of games was much more than when the Calgary Flames did the same for the last 5 games a couple of seasons ago. All of the attention due to the mega contract given to Ilya Kovalchuk in the offseason. However, to say that the Kovalchuk contract is the main reason for the Devils cap issues is naive at best.

Kovalchuk’s contract pays him an average salary, and therefore cap hit, of $6.67 million per year. Compared to other players with his offensive acumen, that really isn’t out of line. Kovalchuk is in his prime and the DEvils are getting production from him. There is one player on the Devils who’s contract is a cap tragedy at this point given his performance for the first 10 games of the season, Patrik Elias.

Elias’ contract brings a cap hit of $6 million, only about 10% less than Kovalchuk’s. Elias is 34 years old which is not ancient, but is on the other side of his career for sure. Now for $6 million per year, one would expect top line production and value from a player. Elias’ performance thus far has been anything but top line.

Through 10 games, Elias has only scored one goal and added three assists. These numbers prorate to an eight goal, twenty-four assist season. For a player that has never scored less than 17 goals in a season in which he played 40 or more games, that is unacceptable. Even more troubling is Elias’ plus minus. He is currently a -9 in 10 games. He hasn’t been a minus player since he was a minuns four in only seventeen games way back in 1996-97. His current performance would prorate to a -72 for the entire season. Now, no one would believe he would finish there, but the current number is absolutely terrible.

People can question the Kovalchuk contract all they want, but one thing is clear. The Devils are getting far less for their money out of Elias and his $6 million dollars per year.

Small contracts can be bad contracts, too

There has been a lot of publicity about teams up against the salary cap and the large contracts that got them there. In Chicago, there was Brian Campbell and Cristobal Huet, with Huet being shipped overseas to dump his contract. Long time veteran Wade Redden is playing in the AHL with Hartford so the Rangers could clear his $6.5 million cap hit. And most recently, the Devils played with only 15 skaters thatnks in large part to the high contracts of Ilya Kovalchuk and Brian Rolston.

However, there have been a few contracts given out this season that were quite puzzling and, despite their relative low value, can be a significant contributor to a team having limited cap space with which to work.

While all the talk about the Devils player shortage earlier this year was about Kovlachuk and Rolston, I for one saw the contract that was given to Johan Hedberg this offseason as a contributing factor. While it is only for $1.5 million per season, had New Jersey signed a backup goaltender for a more appropriate price, they would have been able to afford calling up a player or two to help alleviate their roster shortage. I am not saying that Johan Hedberg is not good enough to earn $1.5 million, rather, the backup to Marty Brodeur, a 70 game per season goaltender, should not be one of the highest paid backups in the league. Of the 61 goaltenders on starting day rosters, Hedberg makes more money than 29 of them. For a position that will most likely play less than 20 games, that is way too much.

Another contract that was significantly too much money for the player acquired was the deal given to Derek Boogaard by the Rangers. Boogaard is nothing more than an enforcer, yet the average value of his contract is $1.825 million per season. This is three times as much money as was given to Raitis Ivanans, another enforcer that fulfills the same role for his club, the Calgary Flames. Most enforcers make between $600 and $800 thousand per season. That extra million dollars per season could be used much more wisely somewhere else on the roster, although the Rangers have never proven themselves as shrewd cap managers.

These are only tow of quite a few deals that, while smaller in value, can contribute to a team’s inability to field the best team possible in this new cap era of hockey.

Thornton's Deal a Cap Home Run

Joe Thornton recently signed a 3 year, $21 million extension with the San Jose Sharks. It’s a lot of money for just one guy, but it is a genius move by Sharks GM Doug Wilson. Here’s why:
First, it is an average annual salary of $7 million. Seems like a lot of money; however, it actually represents a $200K a year savings against the salary cap. That’s not a ton of extra space when the cap is close to $60 million. But when Devin Setoguchi needs to be resigned in the offseason, any additional space will be a blessing.
Second, and much more importantly, is the term of the contract: 3 years. This is significant because of Thornton’s current age: 31. This means that the extension will expire, and a new contract signed, when he is 34 years old. This protects San Jose from the restrictions placed on a contract signed by a player 35 years of age or older. It is this reason that Wilson was so shrewd in his architecture of this deal. He will now be free to sign Thornton to a 6 year contract with potentially lean years dollar wise in the last 2 years with no fear of the contract counting against the cap should Thornton decide to retire before the contract is fulfilled.
Another great move for Doug Wilson, as the Sharks will be primed to successfully navigate the salary cap and field competitive teams for years to come.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Cryptography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for software developers, mathematicians and others interested in cryptography. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'm being asked to use an encryption algorithm in my code, and besides the fact that I'm sure there will be implementation faults that lead to vulnerabilities, I also have concerns about the algorithm itself. I'd like to know how strongly I need to convince these guys to not use this. If it is an acceptable algorithm and there is a name for it, I'd like to know so I can find an implementation of it somewhere (I've been trained to not implement my own crypto).

I'm not a cryptographer, and this is coming from a large company and from people with much more programming experience than I have, so if I do need to convince people not to use this, it will be difficult.

  1. The algorithm starts with a secret concatenated with a random string the length of an MD5 digest.
  2. It MD5-digests this initial string and XORs the digest with the input data (up to the length of the MD5 digest).
  3. It takes the result of that XOR operation, saves it to the output buffer and digests it concatenated with the original secret to get a new digest.
  4. Then it keeps going until it has covered the whole input.

The goal of this scheme is to allow messages to be read by parties who know a secret and to not allow those messages to be read by parties who don't know the secret.

Now that I understand the notation, I can make this clearer:

$C_1 = M_1 \oplus \operatorname{MD5}( secret || random )$

$C_n = M_n \oplus \operatorname{MD5}( secret || C_{n-1} )$

I also don't understand how this is to be decrypted. It seems like the same random string is needed for that, in which case, we have the problem of how to get the random string to the other parties – is it okay for that part to be sent in plaintext?

share|improve this question
The random value is a nonce/IV. Sending it prepended to the ciphertext is standard. No need to encrypt an IV, it's not secret. In this case it must be different for each message. –  CodesInChaos Mar 6 '13 at 22:22

The algorithm (now reasonably clear) is reminiscent of a block cipher in CFB mode, with $random$ as the IV (which can be public), $secret$ as the key, and MD5 used as keystream generator instead of the block cipher.

Decryption works as in CFB: $$M_1 = C_1 \oplus \operatorname{MD5}( secret||random )$$ $$M_n = C_n \oplus \operatorname{MD5}( secret||C_{n-1} )$$

If MD5 was secure in the Random Oracle Model, that would be as secure as a 128-bit block cipher in CFB mode. Although MD5 is not secure in the ROM, I do not see an attack compromising the confidentiality of the message in a non-interactive attack, assuming the $secret$ is unguessable and $random$ not reused. In particular, I do not see that the feasibility of MD5 collisions, or MD5's length-extension property, directly enable an attack.

Main issues are:

  • This is unsafe if $secret$ is short or/and susceptible to enumeration, for there is no key stretching used.
  • This is unsafe if the attacker can inject something in the message being encrypted, based on earlier ciphertext blocks in the same message.
  • This is unsafe if the deciphering side reveals deciphered messages that do not make sense, and the attacker can modify the ciphertext.
  • There is no attempt at protecting the integrity of the message.
  • No test vectors are given.
  • This is inefficient compared to a block cipher (but in a context where MD5 is the only efficiently implemented cryptographic primitive, it might still beat a block cipher coded in an interpreted language).
  • MD5's name is tarnished, it has known weaknesses, and attacks only get better.
  • The whole thing is not an established algorithm, and nothing in the present answer constitutes any form of endorsement, much to the contrary.

It's not clear from your decryption what the algorithm is used for.

But you should be aware that while at first glance it provides privacy : it's a weird mode CFB with md5 used as a block cipher ; it doesn't provide authenticity. A simple bit flip of the ciphertext will result in the corresponding bit being flipped in the plaintext and such a bit flip won't be noticeable if it happens on the last block of input.

Addendum : I just recalled that long before your question I had read something a bit like your proposal that would enjoy both privacy and authenticity Hash CFB (see slide 5)

share|improve this answer
I don't understand how it would not provide authenticity since it would be difficult to generate a meaningful message without the secret. It seems to me that one should be able to state that a message is almost certainly created by someone who had the secret. Although, 'authenticity' may have a more strict definition in this field than how I understand it. –  user5187 Mar 6 '13 at 15:40
Look at the effect of flipping a bit in the last ciphertext block, if I understood the algorithm correctly this only flips the corresponding bit in the last plaintext block which might be useful if you know the format of the message even if you don't know the content –  Alexandre Yamajako Mar 6 '13 at 18:33

EDIT: The following block of text (between the lines) was written as an answer to the original question, which did not explicitly state that the secret was used for any blocks after the initial one.

Hmmm, I assume that the goal of this algorithm is to provide privacy; that is, to create an encrypted message, and someone that hears this encrypted message (but not the key) is unable to recover information about the original message.

Well, your algorithm effectively divides the message into 16 byte blocks $M_1, M_2, ..., M_n$, and first generates the first block of the encrypted message:

$C_1 = M_1 \oplus MD5( secret || random )$

(where $\oplus$ is exclusive or, and $||$ is concatination). This, in itself, isn't horrible; it is slower than necessary (MD5 isn't wonderfully efficient if you time how fast it generates bytes). However, as long as your secret is unguessable (and you never use the same random to encrypt two different messages), this should be fine.

However, to encrypt the second block, it sounds like (from your description), you do:

$C_2 = M_2 \oplus MD5( C_1 )$

This is horrible. What anyone can do is rewrite it as:

$M_2 = C_2 \oplus MD5( C_1 )$

and so anyone who hears the encrypted message ($C_1, C_2, ..., C_n\ $) can recover the second block of the message (and if you continue down this logic, can recover the entire message except for the first 16 bytes).

The obvious question which needs to be asked: if the company needs a cryptographical algorithm to protect something, why aren't they using a well-vetted standard (such as AES), rather than making up their own? As Bruce Schneier puts it "Anyone who creates his or her own cryptographic primitive is either a genius or a fool. Given the genius/fool ratio for our species, the odds aren't very good".

Just plugging in AES may not be sufficient (you need to use it in a mode that gives you the security services you need), but it's a start.

share|improve this answer
The subsequent blocks are encrypted like this: $C_n = M_n \oplus MD5(secret || C_{n-1} )$ . I'll update the question to make that more clear. –  user5187 Mar 6 '13 at 14:39
+1 For helping to fix the question, and the analysis of the algorithm as originally stated. –  fgrieu Mar 6 '13 at 16:13

Three Websites to Get Peer Reviews of Your Writing

What writers are most interested in is the information on how they are progressing. They want others to speak good about their stories, or give them suggestions for improvement. Peer reviews are the only way to help writers achieve this. Here I have three websites that will help you get peer reviews of your writing, mostly short fiction.

1. Baen’s Universe Slush Pile

Baen’s Universe is a short story submission magazine, we reviewed on the post on short story submission magazines. Ordinarily, the writers allowed to submit to Baen’s Universe are those writing on science fiction and fantasy, and are unpublished. Each issue of Baen’s Universe has two slots for introducing new authors.

For getting your story published with this magazine, you have to register as a new member within Baen’s Universe slush forum located at Baen’s Bar. This is a free forum for all to join. It is for people to submit their short stories for consideration to Baen’s Universe as well as other magazines owned by the company.

The major advantage is that many users are already there, submitting short fiction just like you, and they can review your stories and give you valuable suggestions. These suggestions will help you improve your stories much better.

Sign up on Baen’s bar and submit your stories according to their guidelines.

2. MoreWriting

MoreWriting is a UK based magazine for fiction writers. Here, you can write freely and have a personal page with short stories penned by you. There are already several members, and some of them are published professional writers. They are always there to review your writing.

Usually, a story submitted in this site gets viewed several times within a few hours, and many members will review your writing. Within hours or days, you will have several comments about your writing here. In exchange, of course, you have to review the stories of other members.

The site accepts usually short fiction, and from your control panel, you can choose the fiction genre, word length, level of adult content, etc. You can publish or unpublish short stories as you wish.

Click here to sign up on MoreWriting.

3. ABC Tales

This is a short fiction magazine just like MoreWriting. Here also you will get many peer reviews for your writing in the form of comments.

The site’s special feature is cherry-picking. Here, any content, fiction or non-fiction, that shows real talent will be picked up by the magazine moderators and included into a special category, Cherry-picked. These stories are the absolute best in the entire site.

Sign up on ABCTales.

Watch out for More From CuteWriting!

Yes, wait a few days until CuteWriting itself starts a fiction section. I will invite readers to post short fiction and get reviews on them. I will engage a few readers to submit and promote the stories by reviewing each others’ works. This will be a great experience for the emerging writers. For this, keep yourself subscribed and current.

Copyright © Lenin Nair 2008

4 Opinions:

  1. A little constructive criticism doesn't hurt anyone.

  2. Three sites I never knew about. Thanks! As I try my had at fiction I'll keep them in mind.

  3. thanks for the comment jennifer

  4. i'll try to sign-up with this 3 websites. Hope this can help me.

Google Analytics Advanced Segmentation

Advanced segmentation is a new feature in Google Analytics that lets you segment all data in a profile. Why is this important? We now have an incredibly powerful segmentation tool that we can use to identify which segments of our traffic are performing and which are not. This leads to more analysis on the under performing segments and (hopefully) increased site performance.

In the old days (i.e. last week) we needed to use filters and duplicate profiles to segment data. This approach worked, but it was a lot of work and had many pitfalls.

Feel like segmenting by time on site? No problem. How about average order value? We can do that two. Remember my post about segmenting time on site in Google Analytics? This technique is now dead. Rest in peace.

By the way, advanced segments are RETROACTIVE! This means that there is no need to reprocess historical data in Google Analytics. Well, there is no reason unless you mess up the implementation. You’re still out of luck if you do that.

For those of you that don’t feel like reading, here’s a quick video tour of advanced segments.

Creating an advanced segment is pretty easy. Google added a cool interface where you drag and drop dimensions and metrics you want to use in your segment.

Dimensions are the attributes of site visitors or the visits that they create. Think keyword, campaign, medium, new vs returning, etc. Metrics are basic counts of things that occur on the website. Think pageviews, visits, revenue, transactions, etc.

The concept here is that you choose a dimension or metric that you want to segment by, specify a value for that dimension or metric, and then create a relationship between the two.

Let’s start with an example. Let’s create an advanced segment to view all visits that last at least 10 seconds. Why? Because those people are leaving aweful fast and I want to understand why.

We start by choosing the Time on Site metric and dragging it to the correct location. HINT: If you don’t know whether you’re looking for a metric or dimension try the search!

Once we place our metric we specify a condition that it must meet and a value. In this case we want the time on site metric to be ‘greater than’ 10 seconds.

I want to call your attention to the Value field. This is no simple text field. This is a dynamic field that updates with all potential values while you type. The interface is reaching back into the data to show you which values have been collected for the metric or dimension used in the segment. Pretty slick, huh?

If we really wanted to get sophisticated we could add more dimensions and metrics to our advanced segment. Say we wanted to see all segments longer than 10 seconds from Google paid search. No problem, we can add ‘and’ and ‘or’ logic to link mulitple dimensions and metrics. Then we just keep dragging and dropping dimensions and metrics into the interface and adding values and conditions for each.

Once we’ve created our segment we can apply it to a profile. Once applied all the data in the profile will be segmented. Again, this includes historical data as well!

All Advanced Segments can be accessed via the Advanced Segment button in the top right corner of the screen. Click the button and you’ll see a nice big drop down with all your defined segments.

Advanced Segment area grouped in two categories: default segments (created by google) and custom segments (created by you). Notice how you choose a segment using a check box? This means that you can display multiple segments at the same time.

After you apply your segments the reporting interface will update and all reports will be segmented based on your criteria. We’ll see the results in a number of locations.

First, notice that the data over time chart will update to include all of the segments that you chose. (Note that you can only display 4 segments in the data over time graph even if you choose more than 4 segments).

Click to Enlarge.

Now you can trend multiple segments of traffic on one graph. This is really great for visualizing how multiple campaigns, mediums or geographic segments perform over time. How cool is that!

When you create an advanced segment it is tied to your specific user name. This means that you can use your advanced segment in all accounts and profiles that you have access to, which is pretty cool. Think of your advanced segments as a library that you can apply to different sets of data.

I’ll be writing a lot more about Advanced Segments in the future, especially some really cool segments that help analysis. But this should be enough to get you going. :)

      Great introduction to GA’s advanced segmentation, Justin. While I am glad to know that advanced segments created are tied to the user name so it can be applied to other profiles, it would be very helpful if GA can also allow to share advanced segments between GA user names within an account. May be it is an enhancement request to GA.

    2. says

      Those are great ideas. There has been much discussion among some friends re: how to give other GA users access to segments. Opinions range from a segment manager, similar to the filter manager, to some type of social network for sharing advanced segments.

      Thanks for sharing,

    3. Bob says

      How do you remove All Visits from segments – it is masking the actual data I would like to see ie the number of visits to two separate URLs.

    4. Bob says

      Thanks, Justin but if you add two or more custom segments the All Visits check box is checked and disabled so you can’t remove it.

    5. says

      It seems to be one of the best feature of GA, but when can we see it live?
      BTW, I’ve been waiting for segmentation for a long time. Great job and congrats to GA team on this.

    6. says

      First of all, congrats for the website!

      I have been trying for a while but I dont manage to do it.

      I want to see my visits and other statistics by time of the day but also filtering it by country. So for the visits from Spain I can see the statistics by time of the day, also from other countrires.

      How do you do that? I have tried with segments and dimensions but no way…

    7. says

      Any idea if there is a way to segment by number of visits? I want a report only containing keywords with at least 10 visits, but as the segments are applied to visits themselves this doesn’t seem possible.

    8. Pablo says

      Hi Justin,
      I began to use this feature recently and i`ve created segments for one of my accounts and when i select another account those segments also appear. I’d like the segments to appear only in the account they belong to. is there any way to achieve this?
      Thanks for posting and your help for using GA.

    9. says

      Hi Antonio,

      You can create segments based on time of day and country. You’ll need to create a segment that looks at country and time of day.

      The first dimension will be country. Set a value for that dimension that equates to the country you want to look at.

      The second dimension will be hour of day. The value for that dimension should match the hour you want to analyze. Remember, GA records hour of day based on a 24 hour clock.

      Another way to do it is to simplify your segment. Just create a segment based on hour of day and then use the country report to evaluate performance.

      The one thing to remember about Advanced Segmentation is that it gives you the opportunity to slice the data in many different ways.

      Hope that helps,

    10. says

      Try using “Count of Visits” dimension along with a medium specific to the type of keywords you want to see (organic vs paid). I think that this will show you which keywords were responsible for the Xth visit by the visitor.

      Unfortunately segments are tied to your Google Account. So if you have access to multiple accounts then ALL of your segments will be visible in all of your GA accounts.

      Thanks for the comments and I hope that helps!

    11. Think ux says

      Hi Justin,

      There is one thing im not clear about with this advanced segmentation thing…

      We run an internet radio station,
      and we wanted to segment out top strip (18:00) so we can tell how many returning users do we get on it over time.

      So i figured to segment Hour of the day with Exact match and the Value 18:00, and than check the trend for returning visitors.

      So far so good.

      But when i do this segmentation and go to the visits report, and than view it by hour i see weird stuff.
      The line shows Visits BEFORE and include 18:00 but nothing after. Wasn’t i supposed to see only 18:00 visits???

    12. says

      Think ux,

      Great question, and I’m not 100% sure. My guess is that, because advanced segmentation is visit level segmentation, it’s taking all visits that started before the selected time and then persisted into the selected time.

      Really interesting question,

    13. Thinkux says

      Hi Justin,
      Apparently it seems that this is the answer:
      The visits reported are the ones *ended* at the time specified in the segment (my case 18:00)
      but the graphs are reporting those visits based on their starting time (just like page dimension includes all traffic to the visit which touched the page)

      If you set the logic this way, it works:

      Hour of the day: (Condition) Greater than or equal to > (Value) 18:00

      Hour of the day: (Condition) Less than > (Value) 19:00

      Than it works…

    14. says

      Hi Justin,

      I recently attended your seminar in NYC and you suggested using segments as a way to view combined statistics for separate-but-related content areas of our site. (Our site includes sections for two hospitals — I’d like to see combined statistics for “maternity” content at both hospitals, for example.)

      However, when I view the report for my segment, it’s including top-level pages (such as the homepage) that shouldn’t be there based on my segment criteria. Do you know what might be causing this? Not sure if this is enough info for you to provide an answer, sorry…

      • says

        Hi Elaine,

        I vaguely remember our discussion :) If I remember correctly you’re using Advanced Custom segments. These are visit level segments and therefore include all of the data from a visitor’s visit. So if they traverse different sections of the site you’ll see data from all of those sections.

        If you need to really segment, and only see what happens in the separate sections I would recommend a new feature called Custom Variables today. It was just announced today, so there’s not much documentation, but this seems like a logical way to go.

        Thanks for the comment,

    15. says

      Thanks for this article! I am studying for my second Adwords exam (Reporting & Analysis Advanced Exam) and needed to learn more about Google Analytics features. I found your post very informative and the video you made was of superior quality. Articles such as this one make the daunting task of studying actually enjoyable.

    1. […] Advanced Segmentation: Advanced segmentation is a new feature in Google Analytics that lets you segment all data in a profile. […] We now have an incredibly powerful segmentation tool that we can use to identify which segments of our traffic are performing and which are not. This leads to more analysis on the under performing segments and (hopefully) increased site performance. […]

Russell Kirk and the Bishop

A couple of days ago, I published excerpts from a Bishop's essay on "The Enlightenment" and its consequences.

Here's Russell Kirk on the same question.

Sobering voices tell us nowadays that the civilization in which we participate is not long for this world. Many countries have fallen under the domination of squalid oligarchs; other lands are reduced to anarchy. "Cultural revolution," rejecting our patrimony of learning and manners, has done nearly as much mischief in the West as in the East, if less violently. Religious belief is attenuated at best, for many--or else converted, after being secularized, into an instrument for social transformation.

...Writers in learned quarterlies or in daily syndicated columns use the terms "post-Christian era" or "post-modern epoch" to imply that we are breaking altogether with our cultural past, and are entering upon some new age of a bewildering character.

Some people, the militant secular humanists in particular, seem pleased by this prospect; but yesteryear's meliorism is greatly weakened in most quarters. Even Marxist ideologues virtually have ceased to predict the approach of a Golden Age. To most observers, T. S. Eliot among them, it has seemed far more probable that we are stumbling into a new Dark Age, inhumane, merciless, a totalist political domination in which the life of spirit and the inquiring intellect will be denounced, harassed, and propagandized against: Orwell's Nineteen Eight-Four, rather than Huxley's Brave New World of cloying sensuality. Or perhaps Tolkien's blasted and servile land of Mordor may serve as symbol of the human condition in the twenty-first century

A bit of history:

Out of little knots of worshippers, in Egypt, the Fertile Crescent, India, or China, there grew up simple cultures; for those joined by religion can dwell together and work together in relative peace. Presently such simple cultures may develop into intricate cultures, and those intricate cultures into great civilizations. American civilization of our era is rooted, strange though the fact may seem to us, in tiny knots of worshippers in Palestine, Greece, and Italy, thousands of years ago. The enormous material achievements of our civilization have resulted, if remotely, from the spiritual insights of prophets and seers.

And a parable about the end of the "Logicalist" civilization by R. Graves is cited, along with Kirk's comments:

Rates of abortion and infanticide, of suicide, and other indices of social boredom rise with terrifying speed under this Logicalist regime. Gangs of young people go about robbing, beating, and murdering, for the sake of excitement. It appears that the human race will become extinct if such tendencies continue; for men and women find life not worth living under such a domination. The deeper longings of humanity have been outraged, so that the soul and the state stagger on the verge of final darkness.

...Graves really is writing about our own age, not of some remote future: of life in today's United States and today's Soviet Union. He is saying that culture arises from the cult; and that when belief in the cult has been wretchedly enfeebled, the culture will decay swiftly. The material order rests upon the spiritual order.

So it has come to pass, here in the closing years of the twentieth century. With the weakening of the moral order, "Things fall apart; mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ... " The Hellenic and the Roman cultures went down to dusty death after this fashion.

NOW Kirk's and the Bishop's essays converge.

How are we to account for this widespread decay of the religious impulse? It appears that the principal cause of the loss of the idea of the holy is the attitude called "scientism"-that is, the popular notion that the revelations of natural science, over the past century and a half or two centuries, somehow have proved that men and women are naked apes merely, that the ends of existence are production and consumption merely; that happiness is the gratification of sensual impulses; and that concepts of the resurrection of the flesh and the life everlasting are mere exploded superstitions. Upon these scientistic assumptions, public schooling in America is founded nowadays, implicitly.

This view of the human condition has been called-by C S. Lewis, in particular-reductionism: it reduces human beings almost to mindlessness; it denies the existence of the soul. Reductionism has become almost an ideology. It is scientistic, but not scientific: for it is a far cry from the understanding of matter and energy that one finds in the addresses of Nobel prize winners in physics, say.

...It was at York that the dying Septimius Severus, after his last campaign (against the Scots), was asked by his brutal sons, Geta and Caracalla, "Father, when you are gone, how shall we govern the empire?" The hard old emperor had his laconic reply ready: "Pay the soldiers. The rest do not matter." There would come a time when the soldiers could not be paid, and then civilization would fall to pieces. The last Roman army in Italy-it is said to have been composed entirely of cavalry- fought in league with the barbarian general Odoacer against Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, in the year 491; on Odoacer's defeat, the Roman soldiers drifted home, nevermore to take arms: the end of an old song Only the earlier stages of social decadence-seem liberating to some people;...

Food for thought, folks.

According to Iran’s Fars news agency, Iran has obtained four S-300PT air-defense missile systems. Fars claimed that this report was first revealed last year by another news agency—one linked to Hezbollah—and that Iran never disputed the story. The report claimed that two of the four systems came from Belarus; details about the source of the other two systems were not provided and have not been reported elsewhere since the Fars claim. Belarus has denied any involvement in such a deal.

In fact, the story begins well before last year. According to a report by Mark Harrington from February 2008 in Jane’s International Defence Review, Belarus and Iran were then finalizing a major arms deal, conceived at an exhibition in Minsk in May 2007 attended by Iranian President Ahmadinejad and other senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders.

Harrington’s sources enumerated many details. For instance, Iran was to purchase two surplus S-300PT (also known as SA-10 “Grumble”) systems, composed of two types of Fakel-class missiles, which had been recently deployed around Minsk. These were to be broken down and transported by air to Iran, covered as ordinary cargo, along with a full complement of spare parts and Belarussian training and maintenance personnel. In addition, at the time of Harrington’s report, Belarussian personnel had already completed the repair and upgrade of two other S-300PT systems already possessed by Iran since the late 1990s. Belarus’ asking price for the entire package totaled $140 million USD. All this was supposedly done without the knowledge of Russia, the original manufacturer.

U.S. intelligence is aware of the threat of the emergence of Iranian S-300 systems. Another Jane’s report highlighted a November 2008 conference at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, titled “Iranian Surface-to-Air Missile Systems.” Though the content of that meeting is classified, one day of the conference was devoted to a case-by-case review of Iranian systems, which included a 45-minute session titled “SA-20 SAM Systems.” The SA-20 is a more modern, longer-range variant of the S-300 system. Its inclusion in a briefing otherwise focused on known Iranian systems is indicative of a belief—already present in 2008—that the advanced system was likely to soon become operational.

The Heritage Foundation’s Ariel Cohen has explained that Iranian deployment of the S-300 system would be a “game-changer in the Middle East.” Iran’s existing air defense system is outdated and unable to defend against airstrikes targeting its nuclear facilities, but an Iranian-manned S-300 network could significantly restrict the West’s military options—even more than they already are. For example, Israel does not possess aircraft with stealth technology; the S-300 system was designed to defend against primarily conventional warplanes, and its possession by Iran could severely hamper Israel’s ability to strike effectively.

Iran’s announcement creates more questions than answers. If Iran has obtained even the early SA-10 variant of the S-300 system, its air defense capabilities have evolved considerably almost overnight. If Iran obtains the more modern SA-20 variant, American contingency strike plans will surely become even more limited because of that system’s greatly enhanced range, survivability, and capability. However, the intelligence on this subject remains patchy, and in the past, Western planners have demonstrated a great capability to overwhelm Soviet- and Russian- made anti-aircraft missile systems.

Shan Tsutsui Accepts Lieutenant Governor Position

Gov. Neil Abercrombie today announced that former state Senate President Shan S. Tsutsui has accepted the position of Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii, effective immediately under the order of succession. The office was vacated yesterday by the appointment of former Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to the U.S. Senate.

Shan S. Tsutsui

“Shan’s acceptance reflects this administration’s commitment to represent all the people of Hawaii as a statewide community, not one that is Oahu-centric,”said Gov. Abercrombie. “As demonstrated during his time in the Legislature and most recently as Senate President, Shan is extremely effective in bringing various parties together to benefit all the people of Hawaii.”

“The decision to leave the state Senate was not a choice I made lightly, but I am eager to make a meaningful contribution to the future of Hawaii as Lt. Governor,”Tsutsui said. “There is much work to be done in the Senate, but I have full confidence in my colleagues at the Legislature. I look forward to working with them this session in my new role.”

Plans are underway to establish an additional Office of the Lt. Governor on Maui, expanding the office’s reach and accessibility to all island communities. The Office of the Lt. Governor will continue to conduct business in the State Capitol in Honolulu.

“In the past, Neighbor Island elected officials might have thought they had to move to Honolulu in order to serve,”Gov. Abercrombie said. “In my view, this may no longer be necessary, especially as technology brings us closer together and the state’s IT transformation plan affords greater opportunities to conduct state business from all islands.”

Tsutsui served as the 12th Senate President of Hawaii. He is the first Senate President from Maui as well as the youngest. Elected to the Senate in 2002 to represent Hawaii’s 4th senatorial district, his previous leadership positions included the Vice Chair of Ways and Means and Majority Caucus Leader.

Tsutsui graduated from Maui High School in 1989 and earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Hawaii in 1994. He and his wife, Lyndelle Lee Tsutsui, reside on Maui with their three daughters, Mikayla, Kaylee and Kenna.

keep forgetting

to update this joint. It's hard to keep regular now that I don't have a scanner u3u

anyway here's some junk

I'm working on some projects outside of work but neither of them are at a point that I can talk about em yet. One is another film with my partner in crime Iker Maidagan. The other is a more personal comic project (you may have seen style sketches floating around for that). That will also be a collaboration with Iker. In the meantime here are some doodles, mostly taken from my instagram acount.

  1. Sweeeeet! Loving that first pic :3
    A film and a comic... whilst having a job??!! Seriously you guys have some sort of time manipulation device/power I swear!! ;D
    Hope all is gravy!

  2. Great work! Not Junk. Keep it coming:)

New Releases

Muse, the much anticipated book by photographer Gail Goers has just arrived and is available for purchase at Daniel13.com. For Muse, Goers' traveled to cities in both China and Germany, landscapes that are separated by thousands of miles and even more cultural norms, but that share commonalities when viewed through the photographer’s lens. In both locales, the pictures are filled with loneliness, maybe, but also potential: a ship, unmoving, in a harbor still as glass: a table with just one chair; apartment buildings rising up on the edge of a rice paddy; high-rises half built and empty, juxtaposed with a lifeless lake in the foreground. Have the people gone? Or not yet come? Every page is a mystery with spaces to be filled in.

I would like to do this :

SET    SomeField = 'some value'
WHERE  EmailAddress = @EmailAddress -- this is a parameter of the sproc

Is this even possible? I know I can declare a local table variable and direct the output there but I would prefer to skip it if possible

Could someone with a reputation with 300 or more please add a tag called "OUTPUT" to this (if you agree, of course). Thanks! –  Andrei Rinea Aug 17 '12 at 19:34

No, because you are potentially OUTPUTting multiple rows, which wouldn't fit into a scalar variable.

You need to output into a @Table variable or declared table to handle multiple rows of output.

share|improve this answer
Yep. Even if the e-mail address is unique, it's not possible to hack it using composable DML and a single assignment SELECT. I get the error "A nested INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement is not allowed in a SELECT statement that is not the immediate source of rows for an INSERT statement." This is kinda unfortunate because it's a really clean solution when you know you're only affecting a single row. –  Jon Seigel Aug 17 '12 at 16:36
I understand. However I can say SELECT @JNK = SomeColumn FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeOtherColumn = MatchesMultipleRows... So why wasn't this constraint applied here? Anyway thanks and I'll just declare a local table variable and be done with it. Life goes on. :) –  Andrei Rinea Aug 17 '12 at 19:23

GNUe DCL Blog for DCL Activity

0.9.5 Progresses – Finally

I took a vacation from work and worked on DCL during the week. Apart from a few outstanding quirks, DCL is nearly ready for the first release candidate of 0.9.5.

DCL is Still Alive

Yes, it's been a while since the last update. I've been part "feverishly coding on DCL" and part "feverishly coding for my job". Lately, the job version has been taking over.

23Mar/05Off Security Fix Released (For Real)

23Mar/05Off Security Fix Released

An arbitrary PHP code execution vulnerability was reported and fixed. All users are urged to upgrade to this version. Thanks go to James Bercegay from GulfTech Research and Development ( for discovering the issue.

Filed under: Release News Comments Off

0.9.5RC1 Coming Soon

I made some good progress on 0.9.5RC1 this past week. The new installation and database upgrades are working. As noted before, the contact conversion will be normalizing free form data (contact name, phone, email) into the new contact manager. This has the potential to create duplicate contacts if the names or phone numbers have variations.

All that's left is to tidy up the contact management, fix remaining bugs caused by the schema conversion, create a "merge contacts" function to merge duplicate contact records together (caused by spelling/phone number variations), and finish the public interface. I'll also go through the bug/feature list at SF to see if there are any items that can be resolved.

I'm hoping this can be released this month. Following the feedback from the RC, I'll do more RCs if needed until the feedback shows that it's ready for a full release.

Filed under: Release News Comments Off

0.9.5 Release Status – Again

The next release had been going slow the last couple of weeks due to the paying job, so I didn't make my deadline of the end of September.

0.9.5 Release Status

Things are starting to come together for the release. I have the RBAC implementation completely working, with the exception of item specific permissions. This will probably be a post-0.9.5 enhancement.

Next Release Status

Overdue for another update. DCL is (still) in the middle of a major enhancement revolving around contact management. I have created pop-up dialogs for browsing/filtering/selecting contacts, organizations, and projects so far.

The More Things Change…

It's been a couple of months since the last update, so here it is. I've been working on a couple of popular feature requests: contact management and a "public" interface. I have public support built so far for products, tickets, and ticket resolutions. I expect to complete work orders and time cards tonight, then begin work on the contact management and some permissions management.

I've also ported some nice things from CVS HEAD for the database abstraction that makes it much simpler to write support for new tables and fields in the database.

Bryan continues to work on the build manager. We've redesigned the user interface so more options are immediately obvious to the user. I've found that the drop down tends to "hide" things from people (i.e., they don't know to look there for more options).

DCL Status

I just wanted to post an update to our current development efforts. There are going to be some very nice things coming for DCL this year :)

-- Rema --

The Rema (acronym for Rabbi Moses Isserles) Synagogue -- located in Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter of Kraków, Poland -- was founded in 1553. The cemetery was used until 1799. Rabbi Moses Ben Israel Isserles -- the Rema, for whom the synagogue is named -- is buried in this cemetery. Before World War II, thousands of Polish Jews visited his grave every year on the anniversary of his death.

After World War II, the cemetery was restored and the pieces of broken headstones which could not be matched were used to make the memorial cemetery wall.

According to the Encyclopaedia Judaica, Isserles (1525 or 1530-1572) was one of the great halakhic authorities and "was of a humble and friendly disposition":
His contemporaries considered Isserles to be the "Maimonides of Polish Jewry" and he can be compared to him in his universal outlook, in his attachment to both Talmud and secular knowledge, in his manner of study, in his methodical approach, in his decisiveness, in his character, and in his humility. His works were in the fields of halakhah, philosophy, Kabbalah, homiletics, and science (EJ 9, 1081-1082).

[ Facsimile: 'Shulhan Arukh' ] [ Facsimile: 'Mappah' ]

Rabbi Moses Isserles is perhaps best remembered for his commentary on Sephardic Rabbi Joseph Karo's code of Talmudic law -- Shulhan Arukh ("The Prepared Table"). Rabbi Isslerles's work, Mappah ("Tablecloth"), added supplementary information for Ashkenazic Jews to the Shulhan Arukh.

How Vertical-Lift and High-Lift Garage Doors Work

Example of the track on a high lift garage door.
The curved portion of the track on a high lift garage door is above an added piece of vertical track.
Vertical lift garage doors open straight up.
Vertical lift garage doors, shown here, are used frequently in industrial settings. They efficiently use space in warehouses when used as dock doors.
If you have read our Introduction to Standard Torsion Springs, you will already know that vertical-lift and high-lift garage doors work differently than standard-lift garage doors.

The two primary differences are in the track and the cable drums. When a standard-lift garage door is closed, the top roller rests at the bottom of the curved portion of the track, or just below it. High-lift garage doors have a longer straight portion of track between the top roller and the curved portion of track (as pictured on left). Vertical lift garage doors do not have any curved portions of track. Instead, the garage door opens straight up and at a slight angle backwards. The track is angled back slightly to let the door close as a wedge, as mentioned on our homepage.

Because the high-lift and vertical-lift garage doors open differently, these systems need different cable drums. Vertical-lift cable drums are not flat like standard-lift cable drums. Instead, the cable continually winds closer to the shaft on the drum as the garage door opens. High-lift cable drums are essentially a mixture of the vertical-lift and standard-lift cable drums. The first few times that the cable wraps around the drum, it moves closer to the shaft like a vertical-lift drum. At a certain point, however, the drum levels out and the cable continues to wrap around the drum at a constant distance from the shaft like a standard-lift drum.

Why does the weight of the door need to exceed the lift of the springs?
By using torsion springs that can almost lift the garage door, we are adjusting the net force acting on the door. When the sum of the forces applied to the garage door due to the tension in the cables is close to the force on the door due to gravity, a much smaller applied force (human or opener) is necessary to open the garage door. If the lift of the springs is greater than the weight of the door, the springs will lift the door off of the ground.
The purpose of this different engineering is to properly balance the garage door. When the vertical-lift door is closed and resting on the floor, the weight of the door needs to exceed the lift provided by the torsion springs by a minimal amount (see left). As the garage door opens, the springs unwind. Meanwhile, the distance from the center of the shaft to the point at which the cable leaves the drum decreases. This distance is known as the moment arm.

Why does the necessary upward force decrease by a factor of 2?
When you are sitting on a seesaw and the other person moves toward the middle (the fulcrum), you move toward the ground. In an ideal system, a principle of static equilibrium tells us that F1D1=F2D2, where F corresponds to the weight of the two objects at their respective distances, D, from the fulcrum. Since the weight of the door (F1) and the moment arm of the torsion spring (D2) stay the same but the garage door's moment arm (D1) decreases by a factor of 2 as the cable winds up, the upward force applied by the spring (F2) must also decrease by a factor of 2. Therefore, the upward force necessary to balance the garage door decreases by a factor of 2 as well.
Think a moment about leverage. Suppose you are trying to close the door to your house. If you push on the outside of the door near the handle, it is easy to close the door. If you push the middle of the door, it becomes twice as difficult. This is because the length of the moment arm is cut in half.

Vertical lift garage doors, like any other, balance because of the cable drums.
The door will balance because the moment arm decreases as the door opens.
A similar principle applies with the cable on the cable drum. When the garage door opens, the moment arm shortens. The effect of decreasing this moment arm by a factor of 2 will also decrease the necessary upward force by a factor of 2 (see right). In the time that it takes for the moment arm to decrease by a factor of 2, the tension in the torsion spring will also decrease by a factor of 2. As a result, the door remains balanced as it opens and closes.

Standard lift cable drums also have a raised groove
Standard-lift cable drums have a raised groove to help balance the garage door.
A high-lift cable drum starts working in the same way as a vertical-lift drum, and then it operates as a standard-lift drum. Since the garage door opens vertically at first, the cable drums need to decrease the moment arm as the springs unwind. Once the weight of the garage door starts to be supported by the horizontal tracks, the loss in door weight will be balanced by the loss of spring tension. As a result, the cable drum needs to be flat once the top section reaches the horizontal tracks.

Most standard-lift cable drums have a very small portion of high-lift on the outside edge. This was added to cable drums once it was realized that the torsion springs must support the entire weight of the garage door until the top rollers reach the horizontal portion of track. Although most people are inclined to think that some of the weight will be transferred to the curved portion of track, this was not consistent with the what was practically observed. This raised portion of the standard-lift cable drums allows the garage door to open without the torsion springs losing extra lift in the first portion of the door's travel.

If you are interested in converting from a standard-lift door to a high-lift garage door, see our High-Lift Conversion tutorial. If you have a residential door and you want to convert to a high-lift system, see our High-Lift Inquiry page after gathering the measurements listed in the tutorial to get a quote for a custom conversion kit.

Strike looms at Porter FBO

TORONTO, Jan. 7, 2013 /CNW/ - The employees who fuel Porter aircraft at the Toronto Island airport may be on strike as early as next week.

The 22 employees who work for Porter Fixed Based Operations (Porter FBO) have been unionized since August 2012 and have tried for nearly five months to negotiate a contract.

They will be in a legal strike position at 12.01 a.m. on January 10.

Though Porter FBO employees earn considerably less than the industry average, the employer has refused to negotiate a reasonable wage increase.

Porter FBO staff in Toronto are represented by the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE), Local 343.

The parties will meet on January 9 to try and finalize a first Collective Agreement - and to head off a strike that would severely disrupt operations at the Island airport.

"The Union has been very reasonable in its requests," said COPE Staff Representative Mary Stalteri. "We sincerely hope to be able to prevent a strike and unnecessary inconvenience to the travelling public."

So just days after dumping a pic with his one-time producing partner Steven Soderbergh, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Amy Pascal has done a deal with George Clooney and his other producing partner Grant Heslov. My question is: why? Pascal swore off making movies just for the masturbatory sake of winning Oscar nominations after Sony went through hell on All The King’s Men and came up empty. “You need to look no further than Sony’s track record with A-list talent like Adam Sandler and Will Smith to answer your question of why,” a Sony exec tells me. leatherheads8.jpg“Amy, Michael, Matt and Doug will work closely with George and Grant to develop the kind of material we all believe makes sense for Sony and its multilabel distribution strategy. Sony has Columbia, Screen Gems and Classics allowing for different kinds of films for different audiences.” Oh, puh-leeze. Clooney can’t open a film as an actor unless he’s in an ensemble. And as a writer and director and producer, he’s not a moneymaker. (Looking at his films in development, I predict there’s not a $20 million opening weekend among them at a time when the average marketing cost of studio fare is $30M-$50M.) Believe me, if he were generating decent grosses, Warner Bros would have wanted to hang onto him. So Warner’s gain is Sony’s loss.

CULVER CITY, Calif., June 30, 2009 – George Clooney and Grant Heslov’s Smokehouse Pictures are in final negotiations to sign an exclusive two-year theatrical development and production deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, it was announced today by Amy Pascal, Co-Chairman of Sony Picture Entertainment and Chairman of the studio’s Motion Picture Group.

Commenting on the announcement, Clooney said, “Warner Bros. has been a great place to work and I’ve felt like part of a family for almost 20 years. So in moving on, I’m leaving a terrific company and a lot of dear friends. They’re a class act. In looking ahead, I’m tremendously excited to be working at Sony Pictures, and we all feel like it’s a perfect match for Smokehouse. Grant Heslov and I hope to deliver the kind of films that will make them proud.”

“We admire and respect George and Grant as filmmakers and producers and we couldn’t be more excited to be in business with them and their talented team at Smokehouse Pictures,” said Pascal. “The broad range of quality projects they have championed and the compelling and sometimes provocative material they support says everything about their company and their creative aspirations. While we have been trimming production deals overall for the last few years, we see real value in opening our doors to producers with their critical and commercial track record and their artistic point of view, and we know they will be a fantastic addition to the Sony Pictures family.”

“My nine year relationship with Warner Bros. was extremely gratifying and now, George and I look forward to Smokehouse being a part of the Sony family,” Heslov said.

The Smokehouse Pictures team includes Senior Vice President of Development Nina Wolarsky, and creative executive Alex Meenehan. The company is currently in development on the following projects with Warner Bros:
