The Hamsa symbol is an ancient symbol with unknown origins. In Judaism, the symbol is attributed to Miriam, Moses' sister and is considered to be a good luck charm. The Hamsa, sometimes referred to as the Hand of Fatima or Evil Eye, is an open hand with a large eye taking up most of the palm and the five fingers extended. Hamsas can be found in jewelry, wall hangings, amulets and other Middle Eastern Judaica objects.
Hamsas are very often brightly decorated with floral pattern, Armenian deco patterns and Jerusalem as well as geometric patterns. Hamsas that are hung on the wall often have the prayer for a peaceful house painted in its center or in the palm. Other popular texts include positive words and phrases such as "Abundance" and "Success". These Hamsas can be made of any material, although the most common materials are copper, silver, ceramic, pewter and olive wood. These items are great gift ideas for a wedding or housewarming since they are meant to bring blessing and happiness to the new residents.
Looking for a gift? World of Judaica has a wide selection of Hamsa pendants made from sterling silver, gold and painted metal. These Hamsas also have diamonds and other gemstones set in them and can also be personalized with engravings of names. Looking for a gift for a holiday such as Hanukkah? Consider a Hamsa keychain painted with a Middle Eastern motif.
If you are looking for a Hamsa that is unique, consider a glass Hamsa that is stained and painted with floral patterns or Jerusalem. Or as an alternative, consider a Hamsa that is decorated with the High Priest's breastplate in addition to other traditional Judaica themes.
World of Judaica invites you browse our collection of Hamsas themed blessings, jewelry and Judaica items. If you have any questions or concerns,contact us via email, live chat or phone and a customer service agent will be happy to assist you.
Hamsa Guide
The Hamsa symbol is one recognized by a wide variety of peoples across the world. Over time it has come to be recognized and used as a Jewish symbol explaining its wide use in Judaica items such as amulets or simple designs on a bigger piece. The image itself is one of an open hand and its five fingers. This shape is often formed abstractly, and designed in many different ways, but throughout history the Hamsa has only had one meaning: protection and safety.
The Hamsa Throughout History
The birthplace of the Hamsa is still considered somewhat of a mystery, though several fact-based theories do exist. While some are convinced that this symbol derives from the Carthaginians or Ancient Egyptians, others have noted that similar images were found in Mesopotamia connected to teachings of the Buddha.
The word "Hamsa" literally means five in Arabic and was originally used by the Arabs referring to the symbol as the five fingered hand of Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. As the symbol worked its way into Jewish communities in Africa and the Middle East it became known as the hand of Miriam and the Christians later named it the hand of Mary.
One thing that all cultures seemed to have agreed upon is the protection the Hamsa provided for the Evil Eye: a look given that was believed to cause luck to its receiver. The Hamsa was also considered a blessing that would help bring about positive events in life.
Modern Day Hamsa
Today, the Hamsa is found predominantly in the state of Israel where the symbol has caught on as style more than a superstition. In fact, the Hamsa has only recently experience a revival in Judaism and Israel. When the nation was first formed the symbol almost disappeared among Jews because the Ashkenazi population disapproved of its Eastern origins.
Now the Hamsa is wide spread in Israel and for many represents Israeli culture and the statehood of the Jewish nation.
Common Designs
The Hamsa has a meaning in and of itself, but it is often designed with additional artwork in Judaica products for additional or even personal intent.
One of the most well-known decorations for the Hamsa is a depiction (sometimes very abstract) of an eye representing the ancient superstition of the Evil Eye. Many Judaica items choose to add additional meaning to the symbol with other decorations of Judaism. Pomegranates or the Hebrew word "Chai" or "Living" are two favorites.
Besides this they can also be personalized with a name or family photo. Together with the different materials used to create artistic Hamsa, it's the perfect item for any Jewish home.

We're running 10.2.0.2 RAC on Solaris 2.9 using GRID control.
I have a question about .aud audit files the instances are generating. Since our GRID CONTROL connects constantly we generate multiple .aud files in both the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/audit and the $ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/adump directories.
We've put a script in place to clean these files out daily but is there a way to turn this feature off? Our system is generating thousands of these files a day!
I tried setting the parameter "audit_sys_operations" to FALSE and it didn't stop the system from generating these files. I even tried setting the "audit_file_dest" to /dev/null on a test RAC system (which I knew it wouldn't like ) and as suspected it wouldn't let me set it to that.
Any input would be appreciated!

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Six unanswered goals in the second quarter helped propel UMass Dartmouth to a 13-3 victory over MIT in a non-conference men's lacrosse game on Wednesday afternoon. Senior Ernie Park (Plainsboro, N.J.) paced the Engineers with one goal and one assist.
The Corsairs opened the scoring after two minutes elapsed which stood until Park registered the equalizer with one second left in the quarter. UMass Dartmouth responded by rattling off six unanswered goals to take control of the game. An unassisted effort by junior Gabe Blanchet (Hadley, Mass.) ended MIT's scoring drought at the 4:14 mark while Park set up freshman Jake Slonaker (West Windsor, N.J.) for the first goal of his career, trimming the Engineers deficit to 7-3 at the intermission.
Despite the late scoring spurt, MIT was unable to maintain the momentum in the second half as it struggled to find the back of the net. The hosts increased their margin with three-goal efforts in both the third and fourth quarters.
Sophomore Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.) totaled six groundballs, followed by five from classmate Elliot Sykora (Wilmette, Ill.), and four by senior Bryan Beller (Dix Hills, N.Y.). Sophomore Ben Hessels (Laytonsville, Md.) posted six groundballs and was 4-of-9 in faceoffs while junior Mike Gibson (Natick, Mass.) chipped in five groundballs and had a 5-of-8 performance on the faceoff "x". In net, junior Christopher Rullan (Wexford, Pa.) compiled six saves and six groundballs.
Next up for MIT (0-1) will be its first home game of the season against the University of New England on Saturday, March 17.

Copper Line-set, Insulated, 50', 3/8x7/8
Copper Lineset Product Description: There are a lot of moving parts in any modern HVAC system, some more complicated than others. Of course, even seemingly unsophisticated components can make a big difference when it comes to operating efficiency and saving money.
A good example is a copper lineset. Copper linesets connect the indoor and outdoor sections of a split system heat pump or air conditioner. They are the channel moving heat in or out of a house as needed and they are very important. As the name implies, copper linesets are typically made out of copper, but other metals could be used. Most manufacturers use copper because it's a relatively inexpensive metal, a good heat conductor, and resistant to corrosion.
The suction line is typically insulated to maintain a stable vapor temperature. How much insulation is needed varies, but up to an inch of insulation around the suction line is not unheard of. The liquid line is smaller than the suction line, and it is used to transfer the refrigerant while in liquid form. Most liquid lines are uninsulated, since it is desirable for the refrigerant to subcool and save energy.
Talk with an Ingram Water & Air representative today. They can help you figure out the right length for your copper lineset and maximize the energy efficiency of your new air conditioner or heat pump.

ARCADIA | Hours after finding his daughter and son-in-law dead, Ray Woosley stood on his porch and replayed in his mind the tragic events of Tuesday.
ARCADIA | Hours after finding his daughter and son-in-law dead, Ray Woosley stood on his porch and replayed in his mind the tragic events of Tuesday.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office was investigating the deaths of Woosley's daughter and her husband at a residence on Sunset Road in the Arcadia community. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said deputies responded to the residence at 1:47 p.m.
One of the deaths was being investigated as a homicide, Grice said.
Tuesday evening, crime scene tape surrounded the house at 1283 Sunset Road as deputies continued their investigation at the residence, which is located near Frye Bridge Road.
"We are just kind of in a daze," Woosley said of how his family was dealing with the deaths of Shane and Emily Benbow. They were both 40 years old, he said.
Woosley, who identified the deceased, decided to check on his daughter and son-in-law after a daycare worker called and told him his 3-year-old granddaughter had not shown up for daycare Tuesday. A concerned grandfather entered the house to find his grandchild watching television.
"She said, 'mom and dad are asleep,' " Woosley recalled.
Woosley, who lives across the street from the Benbows, continued to make his way through the house and located the couple in a room used as an office, at which time he alerted authorities.
"I don't know," Woosley said when asked how he and his family would deal with their loss. "I'll tell you in a month."
Woosley said his son-in-law worked at Cardinal Container Services in Lexington and his daughter was a beautician in Arcadia. He said he wasn't aware of any problems between the couple.
Meanwhile, sheriff's office personnel conducted their investigation on a cold Tuesday evening.
The sheriff's office was not releasing the identities of the husband and wife on Tuesday. Grice said "both died violently" and deputies executed a search warrant Tuesday afternoon. He said the case was possibly involving a firearm.
Grice said he couldn't comment on which area of the house the couple was located. He said he also couldn't comment on whether the case was being investigated as a murder-suicide.
"We are investigating it as two deceased individuals," the sheriff said. "We don't feel there is any need for the community to be in fear."
The sheriff said he wasn't commenting on whether other people were present during the incident.
Grice said he wasn't aware of any history with the sheriff's office responding to the home. He said he couldn't comment on when the act occurred to cause the deaths.
Larry and Judy Burris, neighbors of the Benbows, explained the couple stayed to themselves. The incident, Larry Burris said, came as a shock as Emily Benbow used to cut his wife's hair.
"She was a very sweet girl, but other than that, after she had her baby, I started going to somebody else because she started to work less hours," Judy Burris said. "… It's very shocking to me."
Judy Burris said it had been about a year since she had contact with Emily Benbow.
"We have found them to be very, very sweet people," she said. "That's the appearance they gave to us."
J.D. Bruhn, who also lives in the neighborhood, also was shocked by the deaths.
"You hear about that almost every day somewhere, so it's not uncommon," Bruhn said. "I think we've had one sheriff's car down here in the 15 years I have lived here."
Jack Masters, a resident who lives in the neighborhood, stopped to find out why there were so many DCSO vehicles at the residence.
"It doesn't look too good," he said.
Masters said the neighborhood doesn't see many problems. He said he was alarmed by the incident.

Embattled Liberal identity Nick Di Girolamo was accused of creating sham documents, giving false testimony and making up evidence at the corruption watchdog on Monday.
But counsel assisting the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), Geoffrey Watson SC, waited until the final 45 seconds of the day to land his body blow.
"Aren't you just an old-fashioned shyster fraudster, Mr Di Girolamo? Isn't that the case?" he asked.
Mr Watson had just accused the former Australian Water Holdings (AWH) chief executive of including a "bare-faced lie" about AWH's worth in a pitch to the NSW government for a lucrative public-private partnership.
"The answer to your question is no," Mr Di Girolamo replied from the witness box.
The ICAC has entered the final week of a long-running investigation into AWH and allegations it corruptly billed Sydney Water for lavish salaries and luxury travel.
Mr Di Girolamo, a prominent Liberal fundraiser, has admitted "mistakes" were made but denied big-noting himself at the utility's expense with a series of extravagant lunches, limousine trips and big donations.
The inquiry has previously heard he went over former NSW Liberal frontbencher Greg Pearce's head to arrange a "cosy" meeting with Premier Barry O'Farrell, who will face the inquiry on Tuesday.
It has also been alleged the family of crooked ex-MP Eddie Obeid had a secret stake in AWH and stood to make up to $60 million if the company's proposal for a public-private partnership was successful.
Mr Di Girolamo - a former managing partner at law firm Colin Biggers & Paisley - appeared to contradict himself over details of a controversial deal with members of the Obeid family.
The Obeids have insisted they were lending Mr Di Girolamo $3 million despite the heading "Sale of Shares" in a November 2010 contract and the listing of Mr Di Girolamo as the "vendor".
"You're saying that you think it could be a loan despite the fact that there was no reference to a borrower, no reference to a lender, no reference to a principal, no reference to a repayment date, no reference to a debt and not even a reference to a loan?" Mr Watson asked incredulously.
"You're telling us that as an experienced lawyer you still signed the document believing that to be the fact, are you?"
"Yes," came the reply.
Mr Watson has told the inquiry the agreement really records the Obeid family's purchase of AWH shares, but Mr Di Girolamo denied the family ever had a significant stake in the firm.
"You and (Eddie Obeid Junior) set out to try and trick ICAC didn't you, you tried to provide sham documents and false testimony in respect of the Obeid family ownership of the company, didn't you?" Mr Watson said, to strident denials from Mr Di Girolamo.
He will continue giving evidence on Tuesday.

The walk to the team bus was short but still left eons for Steve Nash to ponder the imponderable.
Will the Lakers miss the playoffs?
"I think about it every day," he said in a quiet moment after their latest loss, Wednesday in San Antonio. "We've got to make some serious ground up here quickly. We're in deep, and we've got to find a way to scratch and claw and get to 48 wins."
He chose 48 because it was tossed his way by a reporter. It's the average number of victories claimed by the eighth and final team in the Western Conference playoffs the last five years. It's actually 47.7 and based on a .582 winning percentage to account for playing only 66 games last season because of the lockout.
So the Lakers (15-20) must go 33-14 the rest of the way to get to 48. Good luck.
The team winning 43% of its games must now win 70% of the rest.
The first chance is Friday at home against Oklahoma City (27-8) without Dwight Howard and possibly Pau Gasol, who's still not cleared to play because of a concussion.

|CIA agent 'met Bin Laden in
by Toby Rose
Le Figaro today claimed that a CIA agent met Osama bin Laden in a Gulf hospital as recently as last July and received "precise information" about an imminent attack on the US.
The hospital today vigorously denied the report, which is based on a number of sources, including French secret services and a hospital administrator.
Bin Laden is said to have arrived in the UAE from the Pakistan city of Quetta, accompanied by his personal physician, four bodyguards and an Algerian nurse. He was visited by family members and leading Saudis. The paper claims he was treated in the urology department headed by Dr Terry Callaway.
Bin Laden is said to have severe medical problems and "the kidney infection has spread to his liver". Le Figaro claims a mobile dialysis machine was delivered to his Kandahar hideout in Afghanistan last year.
In a further twist, French secret service operatives are said to have met officials from the US embassy in Paris last August after the arrest of Algerian Djamel Beghal in the UAE.
A French secret service report on 7 September warned of possible attacks, and that the order to act would come from Afghanistan. Le Figaro says very precise information on targets for attack was communicated to the CIA.

Hi All,Just got my Santos mixer shipped in yesterday...it looks super heavy duty. I'll post some comparative results after my next pizza blowout.Bill, any pointers or problems I should know about?Thanks,Dan
Dan,Although not recommended for safety reasons, I have disabled the interlock on the plastic cover so that I can add ingredients and play around with the dough while the fork is spinning. Don't underestimate the power of the fork. The fork and a wooden spoon once met and the spoon lost. You will love your new mixer. I use it for all kinds of doughs. Let me know if you need any help.Bill/SFNM
Hi Bill,How did you do this? I'm assuming that you put something in the hole that continually keeps the activation/deactivation button depressed.Matt
It is really important to get the speed of the bowl rotation right, especially as gluten contents rise. When I start getting the dough to rise up the hook (which happens very quickly even when slowly adding high gluten flour) I tend to have to spin the bowl faster than it wants to go even without any of the brake engaged. I personally do not think this is a very good mixer for high gluten flour, but it can do amazing things with all purpose or Italian 00 flours. You might want to switch to something like this then work your way back if if you find the need to do so. This mixer is so fast and powerful at developing gluten that you may find you prefer a lower protein flour. Good luck.
I think that most mixers perform best at or almost at capacity.Mixing small amounts is tedious.
Matthew, I found it quicker and very easy to invite more friends, once the word gets out, you shouldn't have any problems using up your dough. Besides, flour is relatively cheap, and making larger batches is still cheaper than buying it in the stores, even if you don't use it all. You can always use it up making some rolls or something. -marc
Hi,I am seriously considering spendig A LOT of money on a santos mixer. I just wondered if anyone knows if there is a difference between the Santos 10qt and the Metcalfe DK12? The metcalfe mixer is also a santos, and from the specs it is identical to the santos 10qt mixer, but it says 12qt, not 10qt.. http://www.metcalfecatering.com/items.aspx?pt=cat2-josteh-

HOW TO | Fave Lisa Eldridge makeup tutorials
Lisa Eldridge is a seriously lovely lady with incredible makeup tutorials for every look imaginable. I've been watching her videos since she started and regularly post some of my favorites of her videos here. Sorry if I'm repeating myself. Can't help it. I always go back to her tutorials.
Since no-makeup makeup has been my M.O. of late but I do love a hint of color, I love her chic and simple 5-minute makeup look and this (soon to be my go-to makeup for a night out) party look, which is just a bit more glamorous than daytime no-makeup makeup but still not in-your-face.
The first look in her one lipstick many different ways is exactly what I do with some of my more vibrant lipsticks (and even tinted balms) during the day (love doing this (putting on cheeks and lips) with Burt's Bees tined balms in Rose and Red Dahlia).
Her acne cover-up tutorial is incredible. The before and after look like two different people.
One the theme of using one color all-over, she does a great video on how to work the color into the eye area as well... and love the dusty rose/mauve used.

I tried pumping, but hardly anything comes out and I have tried the double pump as well with the same problem. She can latch and does, but only if she is not hungry. She is five months old and I stopped feeding her exclusively when she was two months old because it hurt really bad and she was latching correctly. So please help I want to do this for her. I think I also need support too because this is really difficult.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stocks were mostly higher Tuesday morning as Wall Street bets the lackluster jobs report will prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting off monetary stimulus any time soon.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 2:53 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 87.8 points, or 0.57%, to 154979, the S&P 500 climbed 11.1 points, or 0.64%, to 17556 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 9.9 points, or 0.24%, to 3930.
The markets had been more firmly in the green earlier on Tuesday, with the Dow Industrials up more than 100 points at one point. However, the markets are well off their highs and the Nasdaq briefly turned red amid a steep decline for Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
In Wall Street parlance, "jobs Friday" -- generally the first Friday of the month when the Labor Department releases the jobs report -- is one of the most important days of the month. The 16-day government shutdown delayed the release of the data, so the report is slated for Tuesday instead.
The Labor Department said the U.S. economy added 148,000 jobs in September, missing expectations of 180,000. The unemployment rate fell to 7.2%, from 7.3% the month prior, while economists expected the rate to hold steady. The jobless rate was the lowest since November 2008. The labor force participation rate, which gauges the proportion of the population in the labor force, was unchanged at 63.2%.
"Generally speaking, very little changes as a result of today's employment report. We continue to create just enough jobs to lower the unemployment rate even though the number of jobs created each month is unexciting (first chart below) and the rate appears to be slowing," Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG wrote in an email to clients.
The data have been under particular scrutiny of late as the Federal Reserve determines when exactly it will begin tapering its vast bond-buying program. Analysts expected the Fed to begin tapering in September, but then fresh economic headwinds, and the fiscal debacle in Washington, D.C., came along. Now many investment banks are expecting it to come at the end of the year, or even as late as the spring.
"The (government) shutdown has caused an additional headache for an already puzzled sounding Fed, which has sent confusing messages to the markets about when it will start tapering its asset purchase program," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at U.K.-based Markit.
"The Fed was already keen to await more data on the health of the economy before its makes any decisions on policy, but now also needs to gauge the impact the shutdown itself has had on the economy."
On the earnings front, Pratt & Whitney maker United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), chemical maker DuPont (NYSE:DD) and Travelers (NYSE:TRV) all revealed quarterly profits that beat analysts expectations.
Netflix erased a double-digit rally that had been fueled by the company's earnings report. The selling pressure was driven in part by a bearish research note from S&P Capital IQ, which downgraded Netflix to "sell."
In commodities, U.S. crude oil prices fell $1.55, or 1.56%, to $97.67 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline rose 0.67% to $2.672 a gallon. Gold soared $25.80, or 1.96%, to $1,341.40 a troy ounce.

1. Generation Enggelmundus
Do yeast infections go away on their own? The short answer is yes. Understanding multiple causes and methods of prevention can effectively help yeast infections go away on their own. Here are some things to think about when self-diagnosing a yeast infection.
Yeast infections will usually clear up on their own if they are left to run their course. In America, many women are very concerned with their sexual health and over-the-counter yeast infection medications are regularly advertised on major television networks. A woman?s body is equipped with a built-in and entirely natural cleansing device: the dreaded period.
When the menstruation cycle begins the chemistry inside the vaginal cavity changes as pH rises and the bacteria is swept out and overwhelmed by the flow of the uterine lining as it escapes for another month. Not all women get their periods, for a multitude of reasons. An intrauterine device (or more commonly known as an IUD) can decrease or eradicate a woman?s period.
Some foods have been linked to triggering a lower pH in the vagina. This can cause heightened yeast infections in some women who are sensitive to pH. To get an idea of foods pH scales you can visit the Food and Drug Administration for more information. Tomatoes, apples, and orange juice have a low pH of around three. Bread, cheeses, and meats tend to have a higher pH closer to six. These are foods common to the American diet and found in most local grocery stores.
Foods high in sugar and sweet alcohols are contributors to yeast infections as well and should be avoided while treating or if a woman is prone to yeast infections. Sugar is the main food source for yeast, that?s why brewers add honey to their yeast and hops. Remember that fresh fruits, albeit are good for you, also hold high sugar content. Items labeled sugar-free that still taste sweet have artificial sugars and are not suitable for some people. Be sure to read labels when purchasing food and be on the lookout for any health risks related to food choices.
Wearing tight clothing with a low ability to breathe is the main cause of yeast infections. Thongs and cute underwear are often not healthy underwear. Find a breathable style of light cotton panties When going to bed, skip wearing undergarments all together to allow air flow for that extended time while sleeping. Thongs are just plain bad for overall vaginal and reproductive health. They hug too tightly to the vaginal opening and the anus.
When they become uncomfortable and tugged on, they are adjusted to a new area. The tight ornamental undies then transfer bacteria from one area or another. Once this transfer is completed the cute panty holds moisture and bacteria together while insulating the internal heat to create a perfect breeding ground for things that don?t belong in that thong.
So take off the thong and hop in the shower! Be sure to rinse soap very thoroughly when showering and be sure no soap in introduced into the vaginal opening while cleaning. Adding soap up there can strip away the good bacteria and yeast with any of the bad stuff, this is counterproductive to keeping a healthy balance.
Dry the area very thoroughly with a fresh towel once you step out of the shower or bath. Don?t be tempted to reuse a towel several times to save some laundry. An already used can carry bacteria and will not wick away as much moisture as a fresh towel will. Bubble baths are not a safe bet for women with recurrent yeast infections. The soapy water can permeate the vagina and longer within causing havoc to internal chemistry.
Women should never use douches, scented powders, scented pads or tampons, or feminine sprays near the vaginal opening. Not only are these products entirely unnecessary, they are bad for your overall reproductive health and have unfortunately been promoted (much like over-the-counter yeast infection medications) as necessary to be clean and healthy in our modern culture. These consumer driven products can cause irritation, allergic reaction, reduce the ability to conceive, cause vaginal dryness, cause yeast imbalance, leave particles inside the vagina and cost you money.
Hot tubs and saunas can also cause issues for women prone to yeast imbalances. The heat in a hot tub or sauna can raise the metabolic rate of bacteria inside the vagina. The wet environment inside a sauna is usually rich with cleaning chemicals not suited for internal use. Saunas can be breeding grounds for bacteria if they are not cleaned properly. Always sit on your dry personal towel when sitting in a sauna. Some saunas may alternatively have too many chemicals from over cautious cleaning. A pregnant woman should never sit in a hot tub or sauna.
Take a look at any current medications and ask your pharmacist or doctor if they could be either causing or contributing to a yeast infection or recurrent outbreaks. Antibiotics can have a strong effect on yeast levels but are generally taken for short periods of time as prevention after a surgery, to treat existing infections or for short-term serious illnesses. Probiotics can be taken to boost the body?s response to fix its yeast balance, but are by no means necessary.
Possible medication interactions should be discussed with a pharmacist or doctor before they are taken, but it?s never too late to ask for an educated opinion. If you go to the pharmacist, visit when business is slow and you can get a good few moments to talk privately. If this process is awkward, calling is also an option.
Be leery of home remedies and ask a health professional before attempting to the treatment of yeast infections at home. Most yeast infections do not lead to major health issues, but an untreated disease can. Please contact your doctor if you cannot heal a yeast infection on your own or have reason to believe you have a sexually transmitted disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, always err on the side of caution and contact your health care provider with any questions regarding your personal reproductive health.

But now, I'm back to continue my personal projects. Of course, the main focus will be on Function Inspector as it is by far the most successful and most complex project for now. Function Inspector LITE, for example, has been downloaded almost 80,000 times...
So there is a lot to do. This is my To-Do-List for Function Inspector:
- Refactoring: Most of the code is older than a year, and I'm pretty sure my programming skills have improved since then ;)
- Performance improvements and bug fixes: Some parts of the app could probably be optimized.
- Design: The design of Function Inspector seems kind of outdated and does not fit into the new Android 4.x design. For example, I could get rid of the menu button.
- Tablet support: The Function Inspector UI works fine on tablets, but it could certainly be optimized.
- New functionality? Here, I'm hoping for some user suggestions.
- Marketing: As satisfying as download numbers are, there are many people out there that could probably need this app.
So as you can see, it won't get boring!

Marathon madness
By the time last nights game was over the only thing I had running through my head was Eric Clapton's song, "After Midnight." What a marathon! Fourteen innings, nearly five hours of coverage, 14 different pitchers and all the chances both sides had to take control of the game.
In my mind, one of most devastating losses of the season came against Norfolk when the Bisons sputtered in the night cap of a twin bill in Norfolk. The Herd let an 8-3 lead slip and the Tides walked away with double-dip sweep and then dropped three of four in Richmond.
While there were many chances to win and take hold of last night's tilt, I don't look for the same symptoms following this particular loss. The Bisons are at home and there will be a very festive crowd to play in front of tonight.
TONIGHT'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons take on the Norfolk Tides in the second game of a four-game series at Dunn Tire Park. Tonight's contest is part of an eight-game homestand that included a 3-1 series win over Richmond and an 8-4 loss to Norfolk last night. On the mound tonight for the Herd is LHP John Halama. The southpaw threw a complete game on Thursday in a 10-2 victory over Richmond. Norfolk will counter with RHP Hayden Penn.
TONIGHT'S STARTER: John Halama-Last Game: 7/17 vRIC: (W, 9.0IP, CG, 8H, 2R, 2ER, 3K), Bisons' 10-2 win.
-2008 w/ Bisons: (6-2, 4.88)(8GS, 51.2IP, 55H, 28R, 28ER, 10BB, 17K).
-2008 w/ So. Maryland (IND): (4-1, 1.88)(8GS, 56.2IP, 47H, 13R, 12ER, 8BB, 48K).
-2007 w/ Long Island (IND): (8-10, 4.14)(26GS, 167.1IP, 201H, 94R, 77ER, 44BB, 93K).
-Career 56-48 with a 4.65ERA in 262 Major League Games (911.0IP, 492K).
-Originally a 23rd round pick (640th overall) of Houston in 1994 amateur draft.
-Signed as a free agent on June 7, 2008.
GOING THE DISTANCE: LHP John Halama returns to the mound after having one of the finest performances by a Bisons pitcher in 2008. In his last start, the veteran became the first Bisons pitcher to toss a nine-inning complete game. Halama allowed just two runs while striking out three and walking none. He has now won six of his eight starts with the Herd and is tied for the team-lead in wins with RHP Matt Ginter, who is currently with the Cleveland Indians.
HOT HITTER: INF Michael Aubrey stretched his hitting streak to seven games Monday night after notching a single in four at-bats. Over the past seven games, Aubrey is 13 for 29 (.448) with two doubles, a home run and nine RBI. Since July 6, the infielder has raised his average 33 points, from .265 to .298.
BULLPEN NOTES: RHP Brendan Donnelly made his Bisons debut last night and struck out one in a scoreless inning of relief…All seven Bisons relievers were used in last night's game. The group combined for 10 strikeouts in nine innings of work…RHP Bubbie Buzachero has a 1.80ERA in his last 6 games. He has struck out 20 in his last 15.0 innings of work.
BISONS BITS: Monday night's game was the longest contest of the year for Buffalo in both innings (14) and time (4 hours, 41 minutes)… INF Michael Aubrey was intentionally walked three times last night. His five free intentional passes on the season are tied for the team lead with INF Jordan Brown. OF Jason Cooper led the team last year with five intentional walks.

Status-Quo Disruption: What Constitutes Enough Competition?
By Howard Baldwin, Contributing Columnist
Interesting news came out of Europe last month regarding upstart service providers' potentially disruptive behavior, as well as the responses of established competitors. The news begs the question about telecommunications competition – when does more competition lead to lower prices, and when does it lead to overlapping investment that drives costs up?
In an area as cutting-edge as telecommunications, does increased competition drive R&D investment or decimate it?
First, here's what transpired in France. According to an article in TechCrunch, in the interests of boosting countrywide competition, the French regulatory agency ARCEP licensed a fourth mobile service provider: Free, a division of established ISP Iliad.
Although its services are by no means "free," its pricing structure was highly disruptive: Free charges just $25 per month for unlimited talk and data in a country where residents are accustomed to paying between $57 and $82 per month for a couple of hours' worth of talk time.
It was able to accomplish this through, as the TechCrunch article noted, "very clever technology, marketing and financial tricks" — not to mention adhering to the bare minimum of ARCEP's demands.
These elements include: forgoing brick-and-mortar stores for online ordering and advertising; eschewing subsidies of mobile devices; deploying a network with as few cell towers as possible that still served 30% of the country's population (per ARCEP rules); and signing a six-year roaming deal with competitor Orange to increase its range.
The result: Free now has 3.6 million subscribers, amounting to 5.4% market share. More important, its competitors — Orange, SFR and Bouygues — have all lowered their prices.
Catalyst for a Shared Networks Business Model
But there's also another result: As Reuters reported, "France Telecom is holding discussions on the possibility of sharing its third-generation mobile network with competitors in order to cut costs." The development is similar, the article noted, to a Vodafone and O2 announcement in June that they would share a 4G network in Britain in order to reduce costs.
This sets up an interesting conundrum that seems singular to telecommunications. In theory, more service providers competing for the same customers in the same location should lower costs for consumers. But if all providers merely mimic each other's offer, then customers have minimal real choice.
However, competition comes not just from telephone providers; competition also comes from cable and satellite providers. With VoIP, both cable and telco providers offer so-called "triple play" service — phone, television, and Internet.
So what constitutes competition in an arena where investment costs are so high? Is it really fair for a regulatory agency to license yet another phone competitor when so many other communications options were already available?
As we noted in Public Sector or Private Sector: Who Should Deploy Broadband, the picture is getting even muddier, with the entry of private companies like Google entering the broadband marketplace.
At some point, doesn't the cost of deploying more overlapping or duplicative network equipment to serve those competitive pressures become onerous? In that scenario, with costs going up and fees going down, service providers eventually reach a state of diminishing returns. At that point, do they decide to get out of the arena, thereby leaving fewer competitors?
In a rapidly evolving industry such as broadband, status-quo disruption is natural, unavoidable, and probably to everyone's benefit. But at some point, we need to consider the question of balance. What's fair for consumers? What's fair for service providers? And how do we balance the two for the greater good of both? That's the question the industry is still having trouble answering.

sounds biblical.. xtians in bosnia?
unreal but real w/drug abuse and just plain failed culture!?
don't mix unprescribed medicine w/cocaine? - heard that in a rap song

you know like this asshole.. being the metrosexual/closet right wing that could not be patient enough in hiphop cultures...
i wonder how many fox news journalists? yeah right.. anchors etc.. sympathized with brevik.. fkn' disgusting
as for the face-eater in miami.. pfffft... too bad that weed's not legal.. you'll have more deaths due to the toxic powder fill in.. which is just synth angel dust laced with!? fuck knows i never would go near shit like that
I work in the local hospital...big enough city to see cocaine users a lot. One report said they suspect some sort of cocaine use was involved.
We see folks who mix cocaine and alcohol...for some...this kind of trip is the result. Crazy scary cause the likely hood of a cocaine abuser drinking is pretty high, no pun intended.
however if the guy he was eating wakes up and starts craving bwains I'm grabbing another shotgun.
lol, "this kind of trip is the result" Really? Have a lot of drunk cocaine addicts eating faces where you are?
I think Mr. Face eater had more problems than the drugs he was taking....the face isn't even the best part.
So tell us.... what is the best part? Oh wait, I don't want to hear it.
My impression is it is a semi-new drug called "bath salts" which is not in any way related to the lavender - scented stuff you might have in your bathroom. But who knows? Lot of weird stuff going around.
what's up w/all this xtians ? or women being raped in church or whatever cult house...
found in my email box:
On May 1, soldiers from Burma's military held a woman captive in a church for three days, not far from my hometown. "Ngwa Wi" (not her real name) was beaten, stabbed and raped until she became mentally deranged, while her neighbor was forced to watch.
I know Ngwa Wi's story is not uncommon. The Burmese military employs systematic rape, torture, and murder when big corporations want access to our land for mining, drilling and other natural resources.
Despite this, last week the U.S. government announced it will suspend sanctions on American investment in Burma. That means American companies can join the frenzy for natural resources in my homeland, and Burma's military will step up their atrocities. Ngwa Wi's suffering could be repeated hundreds, if not thousands of times all over my country.
But there are a few weeks before the Obama Administration will issue the Executive Order to suspend sanctions on Burma. That's why I started a petition on Change.org calling on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to include protections for my people before suspending sanctions on American businesses in Burma. Click here to sign my petition.
Abuses like rapes, killings and beatings cluster near major projects financed by foreign companies like drilling for natural gas and oil. Though my country is starting to escape a 50-year military dictatorship, there's still no rule of law in Burma. Soldiers like the ones that raped Ngwa Li are never brought to justice -- sometimes, those are even their orders.
But Secretary Clinton can prevent atrocities from happening because of American businesses in Burma. I know Change.org petitions have helped Secretary Clinton to speak out on human rights issues in the past. Last year, Saudi women petitioned Secretary Clinton to call for women's right to drive -- and she did, reversing her initial position because of their petition.
If enough people speak out and tell Secretary Clinton that she can't leave us without any protections against American companies' thirsts for our resources -- and the military's terrifying tactics -- she will listen.

In the song "Folsom Prison Blues," Johnny Cash captures the lament of the felons waiting to get out of prison. Cash sings, "Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line. Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay, and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away."
But Barack Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, has a different vision. You see, in America, felons have traditionally returned to society with restricted rights. In some states, they lose the right to vote. In many jurisdictions, they lose the right to sit on a jury. And more widely, they're prohibited from serving as law enforcement officers.
Advertisement - story continues below
These restrictions are intended to protect society.
But Holder is upset with this tradition, and he wants to see it changed. In a widely anticipated speech at Georgetown University this month, Holder stepped into the bully pulpit and declared that restrictions on felons' voting rights are wrong and immoral.
TRENDING: Attorney General Nominee Bill Barr Refuses To Cave to Democrats' Pressure
Holder said, "The current scope of these policies is not only too significant to ignore, it is also too unjust to tolerate… These restrictions are not only unnecessary and unjust, they're also counterproductive… These laws increase the likelihood that they will commit future crimes; they undermine the re-entry process."
I doubt Holder seriously believes that felons commit crimes because they don't have voting rights. Then again, logic has never been his strong suit. This is the man who allowed high-powered firearms to be sold to Mexican drug cartels in his drive to reduce violence at the border.
Advertisement - story continues below
The Not-So-Hidden Agenda
The real purpose behind Holder's behavior is stacking the deck for left-wing politicians. Polling shows that when past felons are allowed to vote, they vote in overwhelming numbers for candidates who are soft on crime. Right now, those politicians are aligned with Obama and Holder.
"That speech showed how political he is," Hans von Spakovsky, a former Justice Department official, told The Hill newspaper. "All he talks about is the restoration of voting rights for felons. What he fails to mention is the fact that you don't just lose your right to vote. In most states, you lose your rights to own a gun, to sit on a jury, to engage in certain kinds of employment like being a police officer. Nowhere does he say a word about restoring those rights. That tells me he is only interested in the potential votes."
On top of that, Holder is also focused on two high-profile cases in North Carolina and Texas that could have a significant impact on those states' elections. In each case, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is contending that certain laws concerning voter ID and early voting have the practical results of disfavoring minority voters. The DOJ wants these laws struck down before the next election.
It seems that Holder views every issue through the prism of racism. He twists logic and hopes no one catches on. In the Georgetown speech, he pointed out that 1 in 13 black Americans are precluded from voting, often because of a past criminal conviction. "They are prevented from exercising a fundamental right," he argues.
Advertisement - story continues below
Actually, voting is a privilege that can be taken away from citizens who have demonstrated a lack of integrity, honesty, and character.
But as we know, Holder isn't bothered by faulty integrity. He was held in contempt by the House of Representatives in 2012 following the Fast and Furious scandal. And if Obama had a spine, he would've fired Holder.
Instead, the two ethically challenged leaders blunder on, attempting to change America from a republic to a kleptocracy.
There's still hope, though. Currently, 140 members of Congress have co-sponsored legislation seeking Eric Holder's immediate resignation. It's a bill long overdue for passage. In the words of Johnny Cash, it's time for Attorney General Eric Holder to move "a little farther down the line," and out of this important office.
