Applications are the Achilles' heel of government mobile device programs. They are a vital and growing component of agencies' future IT use, but they also present a number of attack vectors into government networks.
IBM is offering a more baked-in approach to mobile app security, with the release of a software portfolio that can help organizations building applications integrate mobile security testing across an application's life cycle.
The AppScan system lets organizations test their own Android applications, IBM officials said. Previously, to test the security of mobile applications, organizations usually had to send their applications and software intellectual property to an off-site vendor to test for vulnerabilities.

The app to get agencies to start building apps
This process does not scale and is too slow to meet the pace of revisions and updates that mobile applications constantly undergo. Organizations need to set up in-house mobile applications security testing early in the software development life cycle, IBM officials said.
Besides testing mobile applications, the IBM portfolio offers a number of other capabilities:
AppScan also integrates with IBM Security Network IPS and IBM Security SiteProtector and is sold as a regular component of IBM Guardium and IBM Security Access Management systems for end-to-end application security.
IBM Security AppScan is scheduled to be available this quarter.

Atom User Reviews
Wtf was that? Did it end? We don't know what happened to anybody. Not worth seeing.
Honestly the worst movie I've ever seen
The Turning damns itself with good ideas turned bad and a flat-out ugly execution. Its talented cast can't save it from cheap scares, poorly edited set-pieces, and a bad twist that leaves a worse taste in your mouth.
The Turning sacrifices narrative and emotional coherence in favor of a series of would-be scary set pieces that seem mainly designed to discourage aspiring nannies from pursuing the vocation.
Instead of intriguing ambiguity, this updated version – which had a long and bumpy development – offers only maddening confusion...With false endings within false endings, it's the sort of movie whose final fade-out will leave audiences groaning in frustration.

HR Session
Posted by Manish Panchmatia on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 Labels: Bangalore, Event Report, Management / Comments: (1) Full article...>>
This is one more flashback event report, from March 2008. Enjoy MAADI !!
On 7th March, 2008 Friday evening, I attended an interesting talk on 'Selecting, Managing, Motivating and Developing for High Performance'. It was organized by Indian Society for Training and Development' Mr. Nigel Copsey – A UK based HR consultant was the speaker. He has several years of experience in assisting people to explore their capability, recruitment, getting high performance and retaining talent. He basically addressed the complete working life cycle of an employee from the recruitment to retirement.
How do we get best from an employee, as manager? Simple. By offering the best to them. He involved the audience, when do you enjoy your work? High moral and motivation is possible by Right job and right management, as per McQuaig System. He explained both of them.
90% of selection is done by interview, but only 14% of them is effective. The interviewer gets some impression about the candidate in the first 30 seconds, that carry forward through out the interview. After selecting the right candidate, many times after six months we realized that ….So what is wrong? There are always three level of assessment. 1. Looks as if can do 2. can do and the most important 3. will do Right job depends upon ability and willingness. Ability can be acquired. It can be measured as speed of thought. How quickly the candidate can think, analyze and grasp new things. Many tests measures, numeric capability, verbal reasoning, logic etc. Willingness is depends on temperament.
He explained in detail four characteristics/trait of individual. Competitive v/s accommodating. Sociable v/s analytical. Consistent/Patient v/s driven. Structured v/s independent. He elaborated it with accounting clerk and account manager examples. Then we discussed some practical problem like…suppose in an account office, if manager retired, who will get promotion as manager. If highly competent accounting clerk get promotion as manager, he will not be suitable for manager job and if he does not get promotion then he will be demoralized. Can we change temperament of a person? Etc….Then he talked about Emotional Intelligence is combination of maturity, stability, attitude/values and self motivation. If structured interview is added in recruitment procedure then chances increases of getting right candidate from 14% to 40%.
He also explained the second branch of McQuaig system, right management. After analyzing person as per the four characteristics, how effectively he can be communicated? How to assign task to different kind of individuals? People are generally unwilling to change unless it is a temporary change.
Again he addressed two practical examples. One lady complaint that her boss always in hurry. When she approaches her for solution, without listening completely he suggests something, which is inappropriate. Now if she follow that suggestion, then definitely it will turn out wrong, if do not follow then also problem. How Nigel guided her to deal with such boss. There are many books about dealing with boss also.
Once at interview, he asked to talented candidate, "what was the greatest challenge you have faced? " He replied, "Ya…Once I had to prepare tea for six persons…." Generally all the candidates reply "Better prospects" when they asked, "why do you want to change the job?" In reality, there are many factors. Any person, will not take decision to change the job overnight. One should ask a list of at least three reasons for chaning the job to candidate….
It was really informative session. HR professional uses many such tools/instruments. McQuaig System is just one of them. It is similar to some other tool at some extent. He have just touched a tip of iceberg in limited time frame. For further discussions here are the contact details: firstname.lastname@example.com

PSI CHI Journal of Psychological Research

Summer 1998
Different I's of Different Beholders: Self-Monitoring and the
Categorization of Self And Others
Kenneth Weadick, Randall E. Osborne, James Penticuff, and Joseph
Norman, Indiana University East; Jason Young, Hunter College CUNY
ABSTRACT: Four studies
examined differences between high and low self-monitors in terms of the
processing of self-relevant information, categories of descriptors used to
describe self and others, and basic information processing strategies. Results
revealed high self-monitors use more physical appearance and social
relationship adjectives to describe themselves (Study 1) and their best friends
(Study 2), whereas low self-monitors utilize significantly more trait
adjectives. Results from Studies 3 and 4 suggest high and low self-monitors
show this same divergent use of categories and information processing
strategies when recalling information about a new acquaintance and processing
auditory information. The implications of these findings for the social
information processing and behavioral choices of high and low self-monitors are
A Sex Difference in the Effect of Low Levels of Caffeine on the
Stroop Task
Jeremy C. Owens and John Broida, University of Southern Maine
ABSTRACT: Low levels of
caffeine may decrease performance on complex cognitive tasks. To test this
hypothesis 63 psychology students participated in a study examining the effects
of 45 mg of caffeine on the Stroop task. The participants consumed either a
12-oz (355-ml) can of Coca-Cola or a 12-oz (355-ml) can of caffeine-free
Coca-Cola. A short questionnaire was then answered by the participants, after
which they completed a computerized version of the Stroop task. We observed
that women had slower reaction times than men (p < .001), and that the effects of caffeine were sex specific,
having a significant effect only on men (p
< .01). We also found a significant main effect of display (p < .001), and an interaction between
sex and display (p < .05), which
occurred only in the conflict condition of the Stroop task. These sex
differences may reflect the lipid-soluble nature of caffeine. The decreased
performance in the caffeine group can be explained by the Yerkes-Dodson law.
Toss Salt and Touch a Hunchback: Superstitious Beliefs and
Attributional Style
as a Function of Sex and Peer Group Affiliation
Melanie A. Kilby, Mandi Berry, and Sheila Brownlow, Catawba
ABSTRACT: Research
concerning the acquisition of superstition and the social and personal factors
relating to superstitious belief is common; however, little is known about
joint effects of factors such as peer group affiliation, sex, and time of
exposure to a peer group on adherence to superstitions and extraordinary
beliefs. First- and fourth-year college students affiliated with traditionally
superstitious groups (theater majors and sports players) as well as those
without a traditionally superstitious peer group took the Paranormal Beliefs
Scale (Tobacyk & Milford, 1983) and the Common Superstition Scale (Blum
& Blum, 1974), and completed measures regarding belief in and adherence to
horoscopes, belief in theater superstitions, and the practice of sports
rituals. In addition, participants also completed indices of attributional
style. Results revealed that theater majors reported more beliefs in paranormal
phenomena, but that sports players—despite their high internal locus of
control—believed more strongly in superstitions. Exposure to superstitious peer
groups did not increase peer group effects. Women more than men indicated that
they engaged in behavioral superstitions (such as following horoscopes and
utilizing object rituals), but men reported stronger beliefs in extraordinary
life-forms and spiritualism. The tendency for women to engage in superstitious
behaviors may be a function of their tendency to blame themselves for their
failures, thus leading them to perform behaviors to attempt to gain an illusion
of control over their personal environment.
Educational Intervention on Awareness of Diet-Relevant Material
in Dieters and Nondieters
Shayne G. Fettig and F. Richard Ferraro, University of North
ABSTRACT: We determined
if a 60-min video intervention increased awareness about eating disorders among
dieting and nondieting individuals. Eighty-six women, operationally defined as
dieters (n = 35) or nondieters (n = 51), completed questionnaires
measuring behavioral characteristics typically associated with anorexia and
bulimia nervosa. They also viewed a 60-min videotape about diet and
weight-relevant information and were examined (via a surprise quiz) on their
knowledge of information retained from this video. Information in the video
affected performance, but only with regard to self-esteem and importance of
weight to significant others. Dieters indicated their weight as more important
to their significant others, whereas nondieters showed the opposite pattern. Likewise,
dieters' self-esteem decreased after viewing the video, whereas nondieters'
self-esteem increased. Implications for educational interventions and eating
disorders are discussed.

Randolph A. Smith, Ouachita Baptist University

information from an editor's perspective about submitting manuscripts to
journals. Authors should know the
journal to which they submit, read and follow directions, respond to reviews,
and bide their time after submitting their manuscript.

text: Rail Paul Posted December 20, 2010 Thomas Keller visits the markets in San Sebastian. Lots of vegetable and fish porn Keller was having a good time in the city but cares little for the wizardry of others. "I love Ferran [Adria]," he said, "but what you get with him is a bunch of equations. What about the ingredients?" And so Keller and I and David Breeden, the Brylcreamed born and bred Tennessean sous chef at Per Se who could have stepped out of a Coen Brothers film, headed to La Bretxa, San Sebastian's indoor central market to be inspired by ingredients. Keller explained along the way that his presentation, dubbed "The Philosophy of Elegance," wouldn't be about food anyway. "Why would I show them food? It's an absurd notion, to me. Showing them something makes it all about me. I don't cook for me. I cook for you." With that we descended the escalators into the market. Through the broad aisles bordered by market stands Keller shambled, blown here and there like a pussywillow in the breeze. He stopped at a produce stand, eyeing bright tomatoes and artichokes still stalked. "Where are these from?" he asked, holding a pair of plump avocados. "Malaga," said the merchant, "in the south of Spain." Keller took eight. Perusing the stands, Keller looked toward Breeden for ideas. Passing a coven of broccoli, Breeden conferred with his QB. "What about broccoli with pomegranate?" Keller nodded. "Some almond dressing?" Breeden added. Again Keller nodded and into the plastic sack went the broccoli.

The Dutch/Belgian film company CinéTé wants to try to win a third OSCAR© in 2016! We first won in 1987 for the animated short film A GREEK TRAGEDY by Nicole van Goethem and then again in 2001 for another "best animated short": FATHER AND DAUGHTER by Michael Dudok de Wit.
But for this third one we need your help!
We have an excellent project in production. It is called TICKING AWAY and tells the story of a dedicated watchmaker. He's a peculiar man seeking solace in his work. Then one evening he gets to repair a very special watch...
TICKING AWAY is not autobiographical but it's very close to the heart of it's creator, Michael Sewnarain. Repairing antique clocks was a passion of his father and Michael has many fond memories of the numerous clocks that were standing, hanging and lying around in their apartment, waiting to be repaired.
Michael wrote and directed the film. Willem Thijssen produces for CinéTé. Other crew members are: Brun Croes, who painted the backgrounds, the guys at Fabrique Fantastique in Geel are composing and coloring the film and the music was composed by Reinhard Vanbergen, from the Belgian pop formation 'Das Pop'. The film is almost finished and now you can help us complete the last steps!
So: have a look at our rewards and support us! We want to share our project with people that are as excited as we are! And don't forget to follow us on Facebook, through our blog or our newsletter, so we can keep you posted about the progress and give you an insight in the production process of this exceptional animated short film.

Here's some more artwork. These are the B/W layout drawings for the animation scenes. Eventually they were colored in by Brun Croes. (We'll post some of those colored backgrounds later.) A fair portion of these will be included in the 'Making Of' book, btw.
Curious about the rewards we offer for our crowd funding campaign? One of them is the "Making of Ticking Away" book. An inside look at what is needed when making an animated film. It will include the storyboard, layout drawings, development sketches and background paintings. Also included in the book is behind the scenes information about the development of the film.
The book is one of the rewards you get when you support us for 250 EUR. We'll also mention you in the credits. On top of that you get all the rewards of the lower amounts: the wallpaper, mp3, a signed Ticking Away DVD, flipbook, a ticket for the Dutch premier and the Best of CinéTé DVD.
The first 4 pages of our storyboard:
Gazet van Antwerpen , a Belgian paper, wrote a really nice article (in Dutch) about our campaign!.
You can download it as pdf
Michael and his team have been working on Ticking away for quite a while. Follow our blog or facebook page to get a look behind the screens.
This is where it happens: Michael's studio! Take a close look at the picture and you will see the storyboard and sketches of the watchmaker hanging on the walls.
A storyboard tells the story of the film in images. Did you know that Walt Disney introduced the storyboards that we use today?
Eventually the storyboard is translated to animation. Below you can see a single frame from the film being created (https://vimeo.com/128459276).
Michael draws the moving parts of the film frame by frame (at a rate of 24 frames per second). The green and purple lines in the picture below indicated sequential positions of the watchmaker.
This video (https://vimeo.com/127698546) shows you what a rough animation looks like:
After clean-up the animation itself is ready but it still needs to be coloured and brought together with, amongst other things, the backgrounds. This last process we call compositing. For Ticking away Fabrique Fantastique was responsible for these tasks.
Left to right: Matthew Lu (color artist), Quinten van Epperzeel (color artist), Hanne Geeraert (DEA veteran), Michaël Koning (compositing wizard) en Floriaan den Hoed (color artist).
The music is also well on its way . It's composed by Reinhard Vanbergen of the Flemish pop formation "Das Pop" composed the de muziek. Here you can see him at work together with Michael.

In a few weeks, thousands of parents, after saying goodbye to their children, will be driving away from college campuses with lumps in their throats.
That transition to college can be a tough one for both the child and parents. For advice on how mothers and fathers can best parent from afar during this new life stage, we turned to Chicagoan Harlan Cohen, a professional speaker, nationally syndicated advice columnist and best-selling author of "The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College" and "The Naked Roommate: For Parents Only."
Q: The understanding is that helicopter parenting of a college student is a negative thing. But is it actually a detriment? Studies have shown students with helicopter parents are more involved and more satisfied with their experience.
A: I don't like the term helicopter parenting because it's a negative term. I love involved parents. It's a great thing to be involved. The question is how involved is too involved. This generation of parents is facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to creating boundaries and deciding how involved is involved enough.
Because parents care so much and see so much — they can literally see things happening in their kids' rooms via Facetime and Skype — they tend to be brought into the experiences more than any other parent before them. With all of this information and this front-row seat comes more responsibility. … It is fundamental for parents to understand that college is inherently uncomfortable sometimes. If a parent knows what is normal and what is normally uncomfortable, ... (that ) parent is less likely to become panicked and to become too involved (during the uncomfortable moments). A parent who has a baseline of what is normal and healthily uncomfortable is a parent who can handle all of the issues.
Q: What is that baseline? What are some "typical" problems that parents may panic about unnecessarily?
A: Two-thirds of students admit feeling homesickness or loneliness. That's just part of it. ... The answer isn't at home. Half have roommate issues. … It's not a problem, it's normal. Students will struggle academically or they'll have some academic trouble. One out of four college students ends up transferring their sophomore year. … (A) majority of students are anxious or uncomfortable. … They need to be patient: It doesn't take two weeks or two months for people to find their place. It can take up to two years. A parent who understands this will be much more understanding of a student's struggles.
Q: What's a good goal for communication with your child away at college? What method and how often?
A: How often you stay in touch can really vary. It tends to be a lot during the first couple months. One way to approach it is to, over the summer, have that conversation with (your) son or daughter. Having the conversation before will help navigate that. … For the parent, a general rule would be to let your son or daughter do most of the calling. It's not only calling, it's texting and email. Every parent needs to know how to text. It's the fastest way to get in touch with your kid. … But you should not be their wake-up call, and you should not be calling to catch them, or to make sure they are doing their homework.
Q: Explain the 24-hour rule.
A: Basically, the 24-hour rule is that if there is a problem — not a serious, life-threatening situation, but when there is a problem — give your child 24 hours to work through it on her own. A lot of these problems will resolve themselves. We don't allow our kids the space to be uncomfortable.
Q: How should parents parent from afar when it comes to parties, alcohol or sex?
A: "The Naked Roommate" can help stimulate some conversations about this. … I say make sure your child is smart about being stupid. You don't want them to do stupid things, but the reality is that some kids are going to be stupid. So don't be so stupid you kill yourself, don't experiment so much that you die.
Tell them to "Get help before you need it," that "I'll never be upset with you for getting help."
I think also that if a student struggles with the party side of the experience, parents should appreciate that there is something deeper going on.
Q: When should a parent become directly involved?
A: If a parent feels like their kid is struggling and is in a really bad place, a visit to campus is a really great thing to do. Rather than the son or daughter coming home, you can walk down the hallway, you can see the people who are in your son or daughter's corner, you can talk to them.
If you feel like your son or daughter is struggling, get them the name of a therapist in the community and try to do it on campus. You can also give your child's roommate your number and say only call me if my son or daughter is in serious danger. ... They're not an informant, they are a rescuer.
Q: What about a disastrous roommate that the child just can't get along with?
A: A lot of times parents don't recognize that it's your son or daughter that is the roommate from hell. There are three questions you want to ask. The first: Does your kid want to get along? ... No. 2, is your child expecting a best friend or just a roommate? Roommates are people who share space, they are not automatic friends. When a child expects that, often times they become the roommate from hell.
Latest Health
The third thing is do they live by the uncomfortable rule, and that rule is to agree to talk about things that make them uncomfortable within 24-48 hours. Talking to the parent is helpful, but talking to the roommate about the problem is great and much more helpful.
If your child's roommate doesn't want to get along, then that's where the residential life staff can help out. Most situations resolve themselves because the roommate realizes you don't need to be my friend.
Q: You mentioned a child feeling homesick or out of place. How should a parent handle their feelings of sadness?
A: I talk about the three P's ... for parents and students: patience, places and people. Patience: It's not two months, it's not two semesters, it can take two years. Places: They need to have three places where they can find connections, and people who can be in their corner. Everyone needs to have five people they can turn to during this transition. For students, it can be an upperclassman, res life staff, a counselor. For parents, all the people at orientation, res life staff, student affairs professionals, therapist; it could be other parents who have been there and done that.

Centrally located on campus, Our Lady of Mercy Chapel is a sacred space that realizes the long-held dream of the many Sisters of Mercy who have served Salve. Consecrated in 2010, the chapel offers regular services and allows graduates and community members to celebrate their weddings on campus in a religious setting.
The building's spacious first floor houses both the chapel and an interfaith prayer room, designed to provide a quiet space for prayer and meditation for people of all faiths. The Mercy Center for Spiritual Life, located on the lower level, provides ample space for student activities, fellowship and offices for campus ministers.
Designed by award-winning architect Robert A.M. Stern, the chapel's stone and shingle exterior complements the historic architecture of Salve's Ochre Point neighborhood. Features include a set of 13 leaded opalescent glass windows created by renowned artist John La Farge and a bell tower housing three 1910 bells cast by the Meneely Bell Company.

Every teenager – including some of us 50 and 60 year old teenagers – seems to have a smart phone these days. I'm writing this on an airplane, and I just finished an intense, 20 minute "Angry Birds" session on my HTC Android smart phone (yes, it was in "airplane" mode!). And I'm almost a Luddite when it comes to apps and smart phones.
But many people young and old commonly use their smart phones or tablet computers to do interesting, productive activities such as:

Gee, some people even use their smart phones to actually make voice telephone calls!?
So why don't cops and firefighters, emergency medical technicians and electrical lineworkers, public works and transportation department employees, and a whole other host of critical and important government workers use smart phones in their daily jobs?
Of course these public safety workers DO use smart phones. Often they use their PERSONAL smart phones to do some part of their job. But rarely do governments give their workers smart phones – other than BlackBerrys for email, that is – to officially do their jobs and become much more productive. In fairness, that's not because Mayors and County Executives and Governors are unsupportive, or government CFOs are enny-pinching.
We don't give government workers these important tools for two basic reasons:
- The apps don't exist;
- There is no guarantee of priority access to commercial cell phone networks.
In terms of the "apps", most governments use a relatively small set of applications from a few vendors – there are records management systems, computer-aided dispatch systems, utility billing systems, work management systems, etc. And many of the vendors of those systems only recently have built them to accept even web-browser access. The terms and conditions for our (government's) use of such software explicitly says we'll only use the software with vendor approved configurations, or the vendor won't give us support. And most vendors for these government-specific systems don't make a version of their application which runs on a smart phone, whether it is a Windows Phone 7, Apple iPad or Iphone, or Google Android.
Software companies: Get on the stick and write smart phone apps for your software. 'nuf said.
More importantly, government workers presently have to use commercial mobile networks for their smart phones. And on those networks, public safety and critical infrastructure workers have no priority. That means your teenager (even if she's 50 years old) has the same priority as a cop or firefighter or electrical lineworker responding to a major incident or emergency.
Do you want that emergency medical technician responding to YOUR heart attack to have priority access – wirelessly and in real time – to your medical history, and to the emergency room doctors at the level 1 trauma center, and to a video conference with your cardiologist? Of course you do!
During a robbery, when you or your employees are being held up at gunpoint, don't you want the responding cops to be able to see the video of your store – including the images of the perpetrators, in real time as they respond? And have passers-by snapping photos and video of the perps to send to 911 centers using next generation 911 technologies? Of course you do!
When your electrical power is out, or your water is interrupted, don't you want that utility worker to have access to all the diagrams and network configurations so they can accurately pinpoint where the outage is and rapidly fix it? Well, of course you do.
If, all of a sudden, a kid in your child's high school goes crazy and brings a gun to that school, taking teachers and students hostage, don't you want responding cops and firefighters to have access to the video cameras with interior views of the school, and to the school's building plan showing all the exits, and maybe even to the GPS on the cell phone used by the kid with the gun so they can see his (they are all boys, alas) exact position in the school? Obviously we do.
But the blunt fact of the matter is this: At the same time you are having a heart attack, or your business is being robbed, or your electricity fails, or a school lockdown occurs – everyone who has a cell phone within a mile of the incident may be texting and calling and tweeting and sending photographs to their loved ones, and the commercial cellular networks will be overloaded.
That's why we don't give cops and firefighters smart phones. Because – besides the fact that safe, secure, apps don't exist – when responders most need their smart phones, the cell phone networks will be overloaded and fail them.
Is there a way out of this dilemma? "Of course there is!"
Several bills are pending in Congress today which would allocate wireless spectrum for priority use by police, firefighters, emergency medical techs – and also by electrical lineworkers, public works employees and transportation workers . Those same bills would auction other spectrum for use by carriers, producing almost $26 billion in revenue to both reduce the federal government deficit and to build a nationwide public safety network which responders could use – with priority over all other users and uses.
Then those first and second responders could use smart phone applications every day, confident that the network will be available, no matter what nearby teenagers are doing.
But, like so much else in this year of 2011, Congress is in deadlock. Some brave Senators and Representatives such as Jay Rockefeller
and Kay Bailey Hutchison (with Senate Bill S.911) and Peter King and Maria Cantwell and Dave Reichert do step up to the plate, led by Vice President Joe Biden. They all support creation of a nationwide public safety wireless broadband network. At the same time, many others in Congress stall and block the work, while people needlessly are hurt or die.
Why don't cops and firefighters use smart phones? Because some in Congress would rather play politics, argue endlessly, and pinch funding than give our responders the tools they need to save lives and protect property every day, as well as during future disasters.
With the 10th anniversary of the September 11th World Trade Center disaster just a month away, does this dithering make sense? Of course it doesn't.

What came first, the need by women to protect and conceal or esthetics? Was the end-result of the impractical scarf worn in even the warmest weather conditions and the bag a happy accident or intentional? Some combination of all, perhaps.

Oh yeah. All the little tricks...like when you take a photo with a girl and she's sticking her tongue out at the camera that is Girl Code for "Not involved and not going to be."ReplyDelete
And if you are involved and she does that it means you soon won't be.
I'm not sure why looking at either the chest or the rear of a person is considered perverted. Maybe I don't understand the definition....ReplyDelete

Two Houston police accused of helping smuggle cocaine
Two Houston police officers are facing life in prison without the possibility of parole after allegations they accepted $2,000 in bribes to protect a stash of cocaine being smuggled through the city.
Emerson Canizales, 26, of Kingwood, and Michael Miceli, 26, of Humble, who are accused of taking $1,000 each, were quietly arrested with the help of a Houston Police SWAT team over the weekend as they reported for duty.
The Houston Police Department officers, who graduated from the same police academy class in 2010, stood side by side before a federal magistrate Monday during a brief hearing in which they were read their rights and advised of the charges rooted in a drug distribution conspiracy.
In contrast to other prisoners who wore familiar orange jumpsuits, Canizales and Miceli appeared in court in matching dark blue pants and black T-shirts and kept their arms behind their backs.
Sources, who did not wish to be identified because they were not authorized to talk, said the officers used an HPD patrol car to escort the load as it was moved from one side of the city to the other. The thinking was that if the drug trafficker was pulled over by other police, they could intervene.
Authorities declined to say exactly what led to the officers' arrests or how they were caught. But a prepared statement from Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland indicated they were snared in a sting operation.
"We have been working cooperatively with federal authorities on this investigation," McClelland said. "And are proud that our internal proactive measures have proven effective in addressing these types of allegations."
Released on bond
U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy ordered the officers released on a $50,000 bond and told them they would face additional charges if they didn't obey the conditions for their release.
Among the rules: They can't have contact with each other or anyone else connected to the case, and they can't have any guns.
"You are to have no weapons, no firearms, no rifles, no pistols, no AR-15s," Milloy said.
She rejected the prosecution's request that the men wear electronic monitors and be confined to their homes.
One of Miceli's two attorneys, Guy Womack, said he hopes his client has been wrongfully accused. "All the officers we've talked to are shocked he got caught up in something like this," Womack said. "He's an outstanding human being. His wife is a schoolteacher and they have three kids and are two months shy of a fourth."
After the hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jim McAlister said he supported their release.
"We release most officers if they are not a threat (to the community) and these guys are not a threat," he said.
An indictment unsealed Monday alleges that during a conspiracy that lasted from October 2012 to December, the officers were paid to protect a vehicle they thought was carrying cocaine.
Their personnel files, including disciplinary history, were not available Monday.
Internal investigation
Canizales and Miceli have been relieved of duty but will remain on the city's payroll pending an outcome of an internal-affairs investigation, according to the HPD.
"We will never tolerate criminal misconduct from any of our employees," McClelland said.
Other recent cases of a local law enforcement officers being charged in a drug case include that of former Harris County sheriff's Deputy Richard Nutt Jr., who is scheduled to be sentenced next month after pleading guilty to charges of stealing loads from drug traffickers.
Earlier this month, Tomas Roque, a reserve Harris County deputy, was arrested and charged with aiding drug traffickers, and two other Houston police officers - German Ramos and Kendrick Ferguson - were charged late last year with stealing from drug traffickers.

I'm having trouble keeping my cities water supply up. I can build some pumping-stations and water-towers which solves the problem, but only for a very short period of time.
I have now reached a point where almost the entire coastline is covered with pumping-stations and I also have truckloads of water-towers. I'm starting to think it is a bug but maybe somebody sees some obvious flaw with my water-pipe layout:
This is how the city looks like:
There are some high-density residential and industrial zones, but nothing that would require that amount of pumping-stations? There must be about 120-180 pumping-stations on that map.

Bono Cannot Stop Writing About Himself
Bono. This guy. The guy from U2. But you probably know him for being the world's all-around best human. He's not just some rock star that groupies want to bang; he's some rock star who's always writing op-eds about Serious World Issues, which makes an entirely new set of groupies want to bang him.
While we agree with Bono's political views in the abstract sense, in the concrete sense, we would rather not read writing by Bono on any topic. Particularly because—no matter how weighty the topic—Bono's topic is always, fundamentally, Bono. Here's the very first sentence from his NYT op-ed today about World AIDS Day:
I'LL tell you the worst part about it, for me.
What is the worst part about AIDS for you, Bono? Tell us. Please. First sentence of his 2010 op-ed on a UN summit in New York:
I've noticed that New Yorkers, and I sometimes try to pass for one these days, tend to greet the word "summit" with an irritated roll of the eyes, a grunt, an impatient glance at the wristwatch.
Have you noticed that, Bono? Try to pass, do you? Interesting. First sentence of his 2010 op-ed on progress in Africa:
I SPENT March with a delegation of activists, entrepreneurs and policy wonks roaming western, southern and eastern Africa trying very hard to listen - always hard for a big-mouthed Irishman.
Is that how you spent March? Did you try to listen? Was it hard, for you? I see. First sentence of his 2009 op-ed on Rebranding America:
A FEW years ago, I accepted a Golden Globe award by barking out an expletive.
Did you accept your award like that? Great story. First sentence of his 2009 op-ed on how to save your very soul:
I AM in Midtown Manhattan, where drivers still play their car horns as if they were musical instruments and shouting in restaurants is sport.
Are you? Are you there, Bono? In Midtown? Is that where you are? Read you loud and clear. First sentence of his 2009 column on Frank Sinatra:
Once upon a couple of weeks ago ...I'm in a crush in a Dublin pub around New Year's.
I thought you were in Midtown, Bono!? You move fast. You, Bono. You, you, you.
We don't want you to stop your activism, Bono. We just want you to stop obsessively writing about yourself, when you're supposed to be writing about something important. The easiest way for this to happen would be for you to stop writing altogether. You're a pretty bad writer.
Also stop talking. Thanks much.

Supermodel Adriana Lima is nursing a smashed head and a bruised ego following a painful run-in with the side mirror of a bus on Tuesday.
The Brazilian model was filming a commercial for cosmetics brand Maybelline in New York City when she slammed her forehead into the giant protruding mirror she didn't see, as she attempted to avoid the paparazzi, until it was too late, while she was walking around the bus.
The embarrassing moment and the sickening thud as her head hit metal was caught on TMZ.com video cameras.
It is not known whether she was injured or needed medical attention after her bump.
The accident comes a day after Lima attended the annual Met Gala on Monday night. The fashionable event marked her first public appearance since announcing her split from husband Marko Jaric on Friday.

The problem
In a rather large C++ project I'm working on at the moment (callis -- which at 17,000 lines has passed xuni for size!), I'm having trouble with multiple inheritance. I've created a ReferenceCounter class to perform memory management, automatically freeing memory when the reference count reaches zero. Naturally, sometimes I want to refer to a derived class with a base class pointer, and register both types of pointers in the ReferenceCounter. This has worked very well so far, but now I've used multiple inheritance.
The inheritance tree looks something like this:
I use code similar to this:Code:class Base { public: virtual ~Base() {} }; class Branch1 : public Base {}; class Branch2 : public Base {}; class Derived : public Branch1, public Branch2 {};
The problem is that, since I'm using multiple inheritance, Derived has two vtables, and casting it to a Base gives me a different address! So ReferenceCounter thinks it's a different memory block, and the program soon crashes (try to free memory twice, usually).Code:Derived *derived = new Derived(); ReferenceCounter::add<Derived>(derived); Base *reference = derived; ReferenceCounter::add<Base>(reference);
Possible solutions
I guess there are two ways to fix this. Either re-write/redesign the ReferenceCounter or don't use multiple inheritance. The ReferenceCounter is using const void* pointers and uses typeid to remember the type of the original object added to it. I don't really think it can be improved that much, unless there's a way to detect whether a class is multiply-inherited or not.
Why multiple inheritance
Maybe there's a better way of doing this. I'll describe my design; please critique it if you think of a better way.
The code is a simple XML parser (to replace mxml). I have a ResourceElement base class, and subclasses ResourceElementRecursive and ResourceElementData. Then I have MXML and DP (DWK's Parser) implementations of these classes. The DP classes are ResourceElementDP, ResourceElementRecursiveDP, and ResourceElementDataDP.
These last two classes use multiple inheritance. ResourceElementRecursiveDP, for example, inherits from ResourceElementDP (which provides some DP-necessary stuff) and from ResourceElementRecursive (which specifies the interface the class provides).
I can't really think of a better way to do this. This pattern occurs elsewhere in the code, however, so I think there might be a better way. I have Image and TransformedImage, for example, and implementations in ImageSDL and TransformedImageSDL (which should inherit from TransformedImage, for the interface, and ImageSDL, for SDL code).
Maybe I've been using too much Java lately, because it would be a perfect place to use Java interfaces.
P.S. In GDB, I was having trouble casting variables when the type resides in a namespace, but I figured out how to do this. In case anyone's interested, you have to use single quotes around the name, e.g.
Code:print *('Namespace::SomeDerivedClass' *)instance_of_some_base_class
