Bucs look to put together a complete 40 minutes against another league title contender
DELAND, Fla. (Jan. 10, 2014) – The ETSU women's basketball team will conclude its Sunshine State road trip in search of its first road conference win of the season when it heads to Stetson to take on the Hatters on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. inside the Edmunds Center.
In facing the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles on Thursday, Jan. 9, in Fort Myers, Fla., the Bucs came out energized and really challenged FGCU early. The Blue and Gold held a 13-10 advantage with 13:22 left in the first half before the Eagles responded with a 22-11 run over the next 10 minutes to pull ahead by 10 points, 34-34, with 2:41 to go in the period. Quickly, ETSU scored five points to close out the half to get within five points, 34-29, before the break. To open the second half, FGCU scored the first six points and began to take control of the game. The Eagles increased their lead to as many as 25 points in the period but the Bucs refused to quit and went on an 8-2 run to close the contest, resulting in a 73-58 defeat.
ETSU and Stetson will meet Saturday for the 19th all-time matchup between the two teams; a series that the Bucs lead 13-5. The Bucs and the Hatters met three times last season with Stetson prevailing in each. In the most recent matchup between the two squads on March 6, 2013 in the Atlantic Sun Championship Quarterfinals, the Hatters topped ETSU, 66-55.

Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
As a result of a leg injury suffered in the first regular season game of the season at Memphis on Nov. 8, senior forward Destiny Mitchell will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign. Mitchell will undergo surgery and continue injury rehabilitation while the ETSU compliance department petitions for a medical redshirt to have the forward cleared to participate in 2014-15.
On March 6, 2013 in the Atlantic Sun Championship Quarterfinals, the No. 7 seed Bucs took it to the No. 2 seed Stetson Hatters in the first half and took a 29-28 advantage into halftime. In the second half, mounting turnovers from the Blue and Gold and SU's ability to hit shots from behind the arc was problematic as the Hatters got up by as many as 14 points with 3:57 remaining. ETSU, however, did not lie down over the final four minutes of the contest and cut its deficit to five with 1:22 left. Ultimately, the Hatters were able to hang on for the duration of the game and dropped ETSU, 66-55.
Junior forward Serena Clark has started 2013-14 off strong, scoring in double-figures in 10 of the 14 games this season. After falling just one rebound short of a double-double in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), the native Georgian reeled off four-consecutive double-doubles for ETSU in games from Nov. 12th - 29th including a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in a 82-65 win against Alabama A&M (11/29). The junior's most recent double-double came in a 78-75 conference-opening win vs. Lipscomb (1/2) with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Clark has now exceeded her double-double total from last season just 14 games into the 2013-14 campaign with six this season and is poised for more throughout the year. The forward's 11.8 points per game currently ranks 16th in the A-Sun, while her 10.6 boards per game ranks third in the league.
Junior guard Cara Bowling is currently leading scorer on the team with 12.6 points per game to begin the 2013-14 season. Presently, this point total per game is 12th in the A-Sun while her 1.9 three-point field goal makes per game is sixth in the league. The Elizabethton native posted a career-high 22 points vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24) including four makes from behind the arc.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in each of the first 14 games of this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season at App State led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18. The sophomore then added another team-leading scoring performance to her résumé with 15 points in a 77-69 loss to Morehead State on Nov. 21. In an 87-76 win versus George Mason on Dec. 28, Christopher tallied a career-high tying 17 points including a career-best five makes from three-point land.
Sophomore Brianna McQueen has been a strong lead guard for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. Using her quickness, the Georgia native is averaging a solid 11.3 points per game at the point guard position and is also getting her teammates involved with 4.3 assists per game. This assist mark ranks fourth in the Atlantic Sun and will need to continue to keep ETSU's offense near the top of the conference.
Through 14 games to start the 2013-14 season, ETSU is currently averaging 70.7 points per game which is second in the A-Sun. With the 70.7 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage, where the Bucs are second in the league at 43 percent, and in three-point field percentage, where ETSU is second in the conference at 34 percent.
After averaging 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 26 games and six starts in 2012-13, junior forward Maria Bond has proved to be a force in the interior to begin the 2013-14 campaign. The native Georgian has started 13 games this season and is currently averaging 10.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. Bond posted a season-high 18 points in a 75-67 win versus Indiana State (12/18) and remains a vital piece in ETSU's paint production going forward.
To begin the 2013-14 season, the Bucs are averaging approximately 30 points in the paint through 14 games including 36 in the season opener at Memphis (11/8). ETSU registered 36 points in the paint in home dates vs Morehead State (11/21), Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24), Indiana State (12/18) and Chattanooga (12/21) as well as in in a road conference matchup at FGCU (1/9). The Blue and Gold got a season-high 42 points in the paint in an 82-65 win versus Alabama A&M (11/29). Recently, the Bucs posted 40 points in the paint in a 78-75 conference-opening win vs. Lipscomb (1/2).
Since the 2002-03 season the Bucs are 111-20 when the they hit the 75-point plateau, including 80-15 since the 2006-07 season. In the early portion of the 2013-14 season, ETSU put up 78 to defeat Lipscomb (1/2), 78-75, to earn the 111th such victory.
The Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Buccaneers have averaged double-digit conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 106-48 (.688) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Bucs have also won 86 of their last 124 games against conference foes (includes A-Sun Championship games).
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth.

A new report published today sheds light on the steps ultra-sophisticated attackers take to gain a foothold inside governments and company networks and remain entrenched in order to steal intellectual property and other data. The bad news is these attacks -- including the recent ones on Google, Adobe, and other companies -- almost always are successful and undetectable until it's too late.
The so-called advanced persistent threat (APT) attack model and case studies outlined in the report from forensics firm Mandiant are based on real-world attacks Mandiant has probed during the past seven years in the government and private industries. Though the report describes the brand of attack that hit Google, Adobe, and 20 to 30 other organizations, Mandiant wouldn't comment on whether its forensics experts are involved in the so-called Aurora attack that allegedly came out of China.
Most of the APT attack cases that Mandiant has worked on for the past few years have had ties to China: "The vast majority of APT activity observed by MANDIANT has been linked to China," the report says. And existing security tools are no match for these attacks -- only 24 percent of the malware used in the attacks Mandiant has investigated were detected by security software, the report says.
"The fact that there is more activity around this [threat] in the past two to three weeks is good. Hopefully, this continues and gets people talking about being aware of it," says Michael Malin, executive vice president at Mandiant. "The APT is a reality; it's out there ... it's not just a government or defense issue. We're seeing it at the commercial level, as well."
As a matter of fact, Mandiant has worked with 10 percent of Fortune 100 companies on APT attacks in their organizations, according to Malin. "And we've responded to computer security incidents at 20 percent of Fortune 100 [companies]," including APT and payment card attacks.
It's not that these attacks are anything new. A published report in the Christian Science Monitor this week revealed a wave of APT attacks that occurred in 2008 against the oil industry, including Marathon Oil, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, all of which didn't realize the extent of the damage until 2009, when the FBI told them "proprietary" data had been siphoned from their computers. It's more that regulatory -- business pressures are now forcing companies like Google to own up to their victimization, security experts say.
Mandiant's Malin says APT attacks are waged by teams of hackers who go after different levels of the infrastructure: "They are going after the network level, or the host-based level," he says. "There's a lot of coordination."
And sometimes the teams don't even know the other is already inside the victim's network. Even so, they typically are working for the same cause, usually espionage, he says. And once they are in, they don't need to hack through again; they set up camp with a longer-term presence that allows them to move about the company freely and typically undetected.
"From a security point of view, there's no magic bullet" to these attacks, says Alan Shimel, CEO of The CISO Group. "Nothing is going to make you immune."
The most effective way to shut down such an attack, however, is to uncover and block the command and control (C&C) conduit between the compromised systems and the attackers, says Gunter Ollmann, vice president of research for Damballa. "Then they have to go to their backup systems and reinfect the host," Ollmann says. "The Achilles' heel is their C&C. They require interactive access to the systems to control them and to target and extricate information ... by detecting and denying that, you've muted the attack."
APT attacks typically have a correlation between political or business activity or events, Mandiant's Malin says. And they often are waged as a campaign for a specific type of information or intelligence. For example, in one series of attacks on local, state, and federal agencies that Mandiant worked on, which was featured in the report, the attackers were after counter-terrorism intelligence.
Malware used in APT attacks is basically hidden in plain sight, in a low-profile, camouflaged manner. Mandiant says the average file size is a relatively diminutive 121.85 kilobytes, and that only 10 percent of any of these backdoor programs were "packed," a technique that can be easily spotted. But more advanced attackers do pack their malware in. Among the most common file names for the malware: svchost.exe, iexplore.exe, iprinp.dll, and winzf32.dll -- all of which wouldn't raise any red flags and could easily be overlooked. Most of these attackers evade anomaly detection by using outbound HTTP connections, as well as process injection.
Mandiant's report also drew some connections between these attacks and China: The attackers mostly work during daytime hours in China, which is nighttime in the U.S., the report says. "APT-associated activity typically occurs on any given weeknight except for foreign and major U.S. holidays," the report says. "This indicates the attackers know when new information may be available for exfiltration." Kelly Jackson Higgins is Executive Editor at DarkReading.com.

Inspiration for Having lost a whole Saturday trying to buy a bed, I decided to make the shopping experience as hassle free, affordable and as speedy as possible. Since launching in 2009 and originally being the specialist for beds, we introduced sofas and bedroom furniture last year. In March we launched over 150 gorgeous new pieces including kitchen tables and chairs, bathroom furniture, coffee tables, side tables, floor rugs, kids furniture and art for the first time. And a load more comfy beds and sofas too! This year we are introducing lots of smaller accessories as well as pieces for the home office such as trestle tables and storage, five new tableware ranges, more modular sofas and footstools too.
Merchandise source: All of our pieces are designed and made from scratch to achieve that relaxed, loafy look we're all about. I seek out inspiration in vintage and antique pieces here in the UK and when I'm travelling. Spanish Architectural Digest is our bible for design and I always have a flick through for ideas. I also find Pinterest useful for the same reason. I then work alongside our in-house design team to create something that is nice and that isn't going to blow the bank for our customers. I have three sisters, all of whom have lovely homes and very good taste. Everything at Loaf has to be vetted by them before it makes the final cut!
Best selling Our 'Coco' bed is hands-down our best seller. Modeled on an original French beauty, Coco is solid, made of gorgeous weathered oak and has all of the chic but none of the squeak of an antique version!
Your favorite My house is chock-a-block with lovely loafy things so it's a tough task to single out one champion piece. One of my favorites is our new Crumpet sofa, so much so that I have just ordered one for home.

Eve Arnold, one of the first woman photojournalists to join the prestigious Magnum Photography Agency in the 1950s and traveled the world for her work but was best known for her candid shots of Hollywood celebrities, has died. She was 99.
Arnold died Wednesday at a London nursing home, Magnum announced. The cause was not specified.
Starting in 1951, when career women were a rarity, Arnold navigated distant countries and cultures, photographing horse trainers in Mongolia, factory workers in China and harem women in Dubai. Her photo essays appeared in feature news magazines and in the many books she compiled.

Codice: Seleziona tutto
Bluewhite64 Linux is an UNOFFICIAL port of Slackware® Linux to the AMD64 architecture. This means that it runs on AMD64 based servers and computers. The goal of this port is to mimic the user experience of the Intel x86 distribution at it's best. I will try to include the same software, configuration scripts and so on. If you notice any differences between Bluewhite64 and the original Slackware, don't hesitate to email me.
This is the first Bluewhite64-current release (testing purposes only!). I only ported the A, D, K and L software series. Next week, I will add the AP and N software series, but first, I need to correct some bugs (if any should be found ;-) ).
Please test it as much is possible and send your reports to arny at bluewhite64.com.
All four software series are built on the 188.8.131.52 Kernel with gcc 3.3.6 and glibc 2.3.6 with NPTL support.
At boot, you can find two generic kernels: bare.i (with most IDE/ATAPI support) and sata.s (with SATA disk support). More kernels will be added in the next testing release.
To download Bluewhite64-current iso, please see the Get Bluewhite64 page.
Please send comments and bug reports to arny at bluewhite64.com.
Enjoy ;)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Eight consecutive goals to start the second half helped power Endicott College to 19-10 victory over MIT in non-conference women's lacrosse action on Thursday night. Shiori Tachiwana paced the Gulls (2-0) with four goals as Casey Flynn posted a hat-trick in her first game for the Engineers (0-1).
Emily Judd opened the scoring for Endicott after 2:27 had elapsed. Exactly one minute later, MIT evened the contest with a free position shot by Julia Roberts. The Gulls responded with four unanswered goals during the next nine minutes, with Valerie Feldman recording the first and last goals. Flynn ended the spurt with an unassisted tally and was followed by a free position strike from Samantha O'Keefe, narrowing MIT's deficit to 5-3. Endicott then extended its advantage to 8-3 on tallies by Tachiwana, Alex Pearce, and Rebecca Bushnell. The Engineers closed the half with free position goals by Lily He and O'Keefe in a span of 44 seconds.
Less than two minutes into the second stanza, Feldman set up Sara Gunter for a goal that would spark the pivotal run for the Gulls. Tachiwana registered three goals, while Rebecca Bushnell, Gunter, Feldman, and Samantha Morin each scored once during the nine-minute spree. MIT's Roberts ended a 15-minute scoring drought with a free position shot at the 18:36 mark. Judd raised the Gulls' margin to 17-6 exactly six minutes later before Lynne Tye posted an unassisted tally for Tech. Back-to-back goals by Kristen Micho and Bushnell with less than eight minutes to play extended Endicott's lead to 19-7. The Engineers continued to attack as Flynn registered their sixth free position goal of the night and added an unassisted goal. Amanda Hunter capped the scoring with 17 seconds left to set up the final score.
Hunter picked up five groundballs as Flynn totaled five draw controls. Defensively, O'Keefe led the way with two caused turnovers while Hee Jay Kang made six saves for MIT.
Pearce led the Gulls with five groundballs while Judd and Gunter each collected three draw controls. Hannah Pelletier notched two caused turnovers as Erin Curry registered 12 saves in her first win of the season.
Both teams will host Wesleyan University in their next match ups. MIT will face the Cardinals on Saturday, March 17 as Endicott and Wesleyan will square off on Thursday, March 22.

When I occasionally see someone on the internet say that the Landmark Forum 'brainwashes' people – usually in an anonymous post somewhere with no evidence as to what that actually means – I tend to wonder, where was I? There was nothing in my Landmark Forum but a frank conversation about what people are dealing with in their lives. If the course leaders exhort people to do something, it's do go make a difference with people, help make the world work (see my last post).
But a blog I recently read gets more to the heart about what people can find uncomfortable about Landmark Education programmes. You see, in one Landmark course, I think it's the Advanced Course, you do an exercise wher you really have to be with people. Like, actually look in their eyes. I would assert that for many people, this is quite scary. They say that public speaking is the number one fear of people (slightly ahead of death), which basically indicates we fear embarrassment more than death. I think the fear of public speaking is simply the fear of being with people we don't know – lots of them.
In this blog, Ted's Transformational Tips, Ted talks about an exercise he says is from the Landmark Forum (I actually think it was in the Advance Course, though that's not really the point here). In it, you take on simply being with another person, looking into their eyes, not saying anything, for about five minutes.
Simple, right?
Well, as Ted points out, not really, for many people. Many people discover how uncomfortable they are truly being with others – they feel forced to laugh nervously, or look away. But when people actually take the time to get out of our own head and be with another, I think many people get in touch with something they may have forgotten – how magnificent people can be, how moving, how powerful.
I think that for some people, hearing about such an exercise can actually be quite threatening – threatening to one's fears, that is. I think sometimes what alarmists on the internet are most scared of is people giving up their fears. Then they might have to give up their own…

Wytham Woods
Perhaps the most intensively studied natural area on Earth (1), Wytham Woods is situated in the heart of the Upper Thames Basin in Oxfordshire, England (2). Wytham Woods, also known as the Woods of Hazel (3), is a beautiful patchwork of deciduous woodland and grassland (4). The woods have been owned by the world-renowned University of Oxford since 1943 (2) and thus its diverse flora and fauna have been the subject of numerous studies (4).
The woods and grassland of Wytham cover two hills and range from altitudes of 60 to...

I am another one with CSPPC scsi problems. The scsi chain is correctly terminated and there is good termination power available. Have tried other cables, drives etc with the same result.
Something is obviously wrong and I accept that, however, by looking at the kernel.debug output, it looks like it will always set the interface speed to 20MHz/50ns synchronous:
cybppc.device: target 0 now synchronous, period=50ns, offset=14
As there obviously is an issue with something, it would be great if there was a way to turn down the scsi settings from 11. Being able to lower the speed to say 10MHz, setting it to asynchronous or setting the width to narrow etc could very likely make the interface useable.
I have tried changing the CSPPC boot menu settings (didn't really expect that to make a difference as this is a completely different driver) and unsetting the RDB synch flag on the drive (actually did expect that to work), but nothing have made any difference. Was thrilled when I found SYS:Kickstart/cybppc.config, but confusingly it has nothing to do with the actual hardware and only lets you change buffer settings?
So would be thrilled if anyone knows anything more about changing the scsi settings.

The new pastor at Good News United Methodist Church in Santa Rosa Beach is, above all, a Christ-follower.
"I'm nothing but a big goofball saved by grace, but I try every day to reflect the character of Jesus more and more," Chris Perry told The Sun.
He said his most important job as a pastor is to love his people, and he tries, as the Apostle Paul says, "to be all things to all people, fulfilling the role they need me to at that specific church. But the one consistent thing across every church is loving people with God's unconditional love."
But being all things to all people can be the most challenging part of the ministry � and being on call 365/24/7.
"Even if I'm picking up groceries at Publix I'm still 'on the clock' because I represent my church wherever I go," Perry said. "And no matter how hard I try, I'm going to mess up. I'm going to let people down. When you're their shepherd, trying your best to lead and love them, messing up is extremely frustrating. You often don't get a second chance."
But Perry also sees a great reward for pastors.
"There is nothing like seeing God really begin to work in someone's life, and see lives changed."
Perry finds that leaving behind a lot of good people at his current church, Robinson Springs UMC in Millbrook, Ala., is a hard thing to do, but even harder is making the correct moves right off the bat.
"As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression," he said. "As a new pastor, I generally have a lot of good will and a 'honeymoon period'. If I don't use that wisely I can negatively impact the rest of my ministry at the church."
However, through positive steps, building relationships and relying on the current staff and leadership, a momentum will build that can launch the church to a whole new level.
Ministry Style: Relying on a �creative God�
Perry sees his style of ministry as both empowering and creating, not micromanaging the church or the ministry. He likes to use the arts and creativity in worship.
"My job is to help people discover what God has called them to do and then train, resource, and empower them to do it.
"God is a very creative God. He made the platypus, after all. That creativity should be reflected in our ministries and worship."
Perry sees the church as the heart of the community, and should offer ministries that cover a wide-range of topics that will touch people in their daily lives.
"I want GNUMC to be known as a place that will help you reach your full potential spiritually, physically, emotionally and relationally," he said. "It shouldn't be a place people think of on Sunday morning, but is a part of their everyday life. That said, the church, when done correctly, is the only organization on earth that doesn't exist for the benefit of its members. It exists for those outside its doors. We need to be out serving in our community, in our schools, in the harbor, on the beach. Wherever people are, we need to be there serving."
More than a pastor
Perry's hobbies outside the pastorate vary from water/beach activities to Scuba to golf and martial arts.
"I've never been one to enjoy just laying out on the beach," he said. "I can't sit still long enough to do that. But, my oldest son, wife, and I are all Scuba certified and we love to be out diving and we take our youngest snorkeling."
With his advanced black belts in two samurai martial arts, Perry hopes to continue teaching that hobby by adding it to the current martial arts ministry at Good News.
"I've been told already that I need to take up fishing, so I'm also looking forward to learning a new hobby."
Perry has a bachelor�s degree of science in meteorology, and still does his own forecasting every day to keep his skills sharp.
"I do a daily Walt Disney World forecast for the fan/vacation planning website Intercot," Perry said. "But in terms of my church work, I'm a certified trainer for the United Methodist Church in disaster response and chainsaw work in disaster areas. I also still do some storm chasing and keep in contact with my friends in the meteorology community to assist when needed."
With that busy schedule, Perry still has found the time to write two books on leadership. The first "Learning to Talk Sheep," he co-wrote with his father.
Divinity and Disney
His second book, "The Church Mouse: Leadership Lessons from the Magic Kingdom," takes the leadership principles of Disney and applies them to the church setting with practical examples.
"A very visible example of Disney's attention to detail is that every single castle in the Disney parks around the world has its own unique paint scheme that will shimmer perfectly at sunset to create that 'magical' glow," Perry said. "In the church we rarely think about details like paint scheme and what different colors do to create a specific mood or atmosphere."
Perry said that Walt Disney's vision of EPCOT, showing how people would live in the future, is what the church should be doing.
"We're showing the world now how life will be when Christ returns."
Because of the popularity of his books, Perry is able to speak on leadership at conferences all over the world.
"Especially in Orlando at Disney conferences. I love teaching and helping people unleash their potential. And it doesn't hurt that I get to do that at Walt Disney World quite often."

Is The US Gov't Worried That Open Source Software May Fall Into The Wrong Hands?
from the whatever-will-we-do dept
Lee Courtney writes "Was reading about the U.S. Government nixing Checkpoint's acquisition of Sourcefire. Apparently the FBI and DoD are worried that Sourcefire's Snort technology could fall into the wrong hands: 'The objections by the FBI and Pentagon were partly over specialized intrusion detection software known as "Snort," which guards some classified U.S. military and intelligence computers.' However, Snort is open source -- anybody can access the technology. Hard to believe they did not know that. Is there something else going on here or are the guys vetting this deal a little slow?" Most likely there's something more going on here -- or they're worried about other, closed source, offerings that the company may develop in the future.

With the start of the new year, Gov. Pat Quinn has signed into law new legislation which further restricts the use of cell phones while driving and also creates greater fines for excessive speeding.
As of Jan. 1, drivers on Illinois roadways need to know it will be illegal to use cell phones in all roadwork zones. Currently, the law restricted cell phone use only in work zones with speed limits reductions. Also as of Jan. 1, drivers may not use a cell phone while driving within 500 feet of an emergency scene. As of Jan. 1, commercial drivers will no longer be allowed to use hand-held cell phones.
On Monday, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said he absolutely supports the new laws which place tighter restrictions on the use of cell phones while driving.
"Anything we can do to further prevent driving accidents created by texting and cell phone use is a good thing," Root said. "Also, the raised bar for commercial drivers (to no longer be allowed to use hand-hand cell phones) is fantastic."
Bureau County Sheriff John Thompson agreed, though he has not yet had the opportunity to study the new laws in depth. However, he does know there can be a problem out there with distracted drivers. The goal of the new laws appears to be to eliminate distractions and to get drivers to pay more close attention to their driving, which is obviously a good thing, the sheriff said.
In addition to the new cell phone restriction laws, the governor has also signed legislation called Julie's Law, which deals with stiffer penalties for serious speed-limit violations. Julie's Law was named after Julie Gorczysnski, a Chicago area resident who died in 2011 after she was hit by a car going 76 miles per hour in a 40-miles-per-hour zone. The driver of the speeding vehicle had previously been placed on court supervision seven times for excessive speeding.
Julie's Law prohibits courts from granting supervision to any defendant charged with operating a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than 30 mph over the posted speed limit, or in excess of 25 mph in an urban district.
In announcing the new laws, Quinn said the goal is always safety on the highways.
"By working together, we can deter reckless driving behavior and create safer roads across our state," Quinn said. "These new laws will protect children and families, and prevent dangerous trends such as speeding and distracted driving."

Look! Funky Picnic Plates from the NY Botanical Garden
Melamine plates are such a great alternative to paper if you're planning a picnic. They're lightweight, reusable, and usually dishwasher-safe. We showed you some in our summer sale roundup last week, but these colorful, Andy Warhol flower plates are worth a look. See two more sets from the New York Botanical Garden shop, below…
• Above: Andy Warhol Tacoma Flower Plates, $18 for four. These are only 5 1/2 inches wide, which means they'd be perfect for an outdoor cocktail party with appetizers but maybe not suitable for a big burger and potato salad.
• Andy Warhol Flower Plates, $24 for four. These are 8 inches, much more appropriate for a full meal.
• Melamine Picnic Plates, $56 for four. These foliage-inspired plates are more expensive, but they've got a nice, elongated shape that's great for a sandwich and sides.

Ds has mucous in his throat! How do I get rid of it?
He is only 2 (well he will be 3 in June) and doesn't understand the cough it up thing yet. It woke him up several times last night and made him gag but it didn't come out at all. When he coughs it sound like he has it stuck low in his throat but not necessarily in his chest yet. How do I help him to get rid of it? He is pretty upset about it. He hasn't been sick or anything (he had a tiny bit of diarrea yesterday but was acting totally normal other than that) so this is out of the blue for me. I put some baby vicks on him after he woke up several times last night and then he woke up one more and dh elevated him a bit and he slept till about 7:40 (normal wake up for him lately). He is sad because I told him he isn't allowed to touch his baby sister today because I don't want her to get sick (he wanted to help feed her breakfast bottle). I just feel bad for him and I want to help him get over this! HELP!

Patients leaving hospital against medical advice fare worse
Hospital patients who leave against medical advice may have an increased risk of being readmitted or dying within a month, a study at one New York medical center finds.
In the U.S., about 500,000 hospital patients a year sign themselves out against medical advice.
Studies have suggested that decision can be unwise: patients hospitalized for asthma, HIV or a heart attack, for example, have been found to have an increased risk of readmission when they leave contrary to doctors' recommendations.
But the new study, reported in the American Journal of Medicine, suggests patients are also at increased risk of dying within 30 days of leaving against medical advice.
Researchers found that of 84,000 patients treated at their medical center, those who left against doctors' advice were more likely be readmitted within the next month: one-quarter of them ended up back in the hospital, versus 11 percent of patients who went home after a planned discharge.
They were also twice as likely to die: 1.3 percent died during the month after leaving the hospital, compared with 0.7 percent of patients with a planned discharge.
"That's the really sobering finding," said lead researcher Dr. William N. Southern, of Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
"These patients are not only at greater risk of readmission," he said, "they are also more likely to die in the next 30 days."
The exact reasons are not certain, Southern told Reuters Health.
Patients who signed out against medical advice tended to have a shorter hospital stay than patients with a planned discharge.
"So it may be that they aren't staying long enough to complete a course of treatment," Southern said in an interview. "But it may also be that they are not getting the follow-up care they may need."
The bottom line, according to Southern, is that people should be aware of the risks of leaving the hospital early.
That does not mean they have to follow "doctor's orders."
"Refusal of care is a patient's fundamental right," Southern said.
But, he added, patients do not always sign out because they don't want treatment. Often, it's for a personal obligation like work or caring for a family member.
The findings are based on 84,000 patients treated at Montefiore Medical Center between 2002 and 2008. That included 3,544 patients who signed out against medical advice.
Patients who checked out early were different from their counterparts in other ways too. For example, they were more likely to have a history of substance abuse or psychiatric conditions or to be on Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor.
But even when the researchers accounted for those differences, as well as factors like age and race, patients who left the hospital against advice still had twice the risk of dying.
Of course, the specific risks to any one person would depend on the illness being treated, overall health and other factors. "Our findings suggest that whatever your baseline (death) risk is -- whether it's high or low -- it would be twice as high if you leave the hospital against medical advice," Southern said.
A limitation of the study, though, is that it reflects a single medical center -- one located in a high-poverty area of New York. Southern said it's not known whether the results would be the similar at all hospitals.
But he said the findings do give hospital staff something to communicate to patients. Until now, it had not been clear whether discharge against medical advice was associated with death risk specifically.
"Now we know that it is," Southern said.

Family grieves after toddler accidentally shoots and kills self; father indicted
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) -- The Franklin County Prosecutor's Office has indicted a father after the death of his toddler.
Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said the Franklin County Grand Jury has returned indictments on Steven Matthew Wallen, 26, for Involuntary Manslaughter and Endangering Children, both counts with Firearm Specifications.
These charges are in connection to the September 10th shooting death of his 3-year-old son, Jachin.
The young boy's mother, Wallen's ex-wife, said the little boy's twin brother now suffers from PTSD after witnessing the tragedy.
At this time, it is the happy memories that Jennifer Wallen clings to.
"We always cuddled up and watched 'choo choo' in a recliner and it was just something we did every night before bedtime," said Wallen.
Losing one of her three-year-old twins has been a nightmare.
"No parent is perfect, but you keep your kids safe," said Wallen.
Back in September, Jachin and his twin brother, Jaxon, were staying with their father when Jachin got a hold of a loaded gun in the kitchen in Madison Township. His father and Jaxon found him.
"I can't even tell you the things that were going through my mind," said Wallen.
A grand jury indicted Steven Wallen on two felonies, involuntary manslaughter and endangering children.
ABC 6/FOX 28 went to the home listed for Wallen and was told "no comment" by a woman who answered the door.
Jachin's mom wears a necklace and bracelet to remember her boy. She is trying to move forward and help her other son do the same.
"He witnessed it and was like feet away. So... I will do everything I can for him," said Wallen.
Wallen said Jaxon is going to weekly therapy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. She hopes speaking out sends a safety message to all families.
Police have issued a warrant for Steven Wallen's arrest. At last check, he was not listed in the jail's record.

Hate to have to post about this, but every post I have found on this exact problem either the talk trailed off or the person never said how they fixed it.
Im doing deferred lighting in view space, constructing view space position from standard 24bit depth (/stencil) buffer texture. Im setting the model view matrix to just a viewing matrix, reading it back, and multiplying my lights world direction and position with it before passing it to the shader.
All the lighting looks correct (when not moving, every is correct, relative to walls floor, each other, etc), but when the camera moves, towards the edge of the screen, you can see the lights position moves in the opposite direction the camera moves, its pretty much 1:1. If I strafe left, the lights go right, if I go down, they go up. If I rotate the view, they seem to rotate in the opposite direction.
Im pretty sure everything is in the correct space or the spot lights wouldnt be pointed correctly, and the point lights wouldnt be where I want them to be (when not moving), theres just this side effect when I move, and I cant figure where else I should be looking.
Ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure what is causing it any help would be appreciated.

hurli needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We are a fun, vibrant, young company looking to help the internet become a better place! Our goal is to un-clutter the web, one page at a time! :)
Savvy internet users.
Hurli will be a huge database of URLs. The toolbar will help sort/filter through these links. The requirements below relate mainly to a series of filters that users can apply through the toolbar.
We are after a simple yet fun toolbar. When we say toolbar, we need something which sits at the top of a page, if you visit here, you will see what I mean - go to http://www.stumbleupon.com and click 'start stumbling' you will see a toolbar at the top.
Happy with a simple toolbar, so long as it conveys fun :)
We require the following:::
Note: When each icon is clicked, a section will expand out of the toolbar (this should be part of the design).
Color: Not dark - prefer primary type colors - red or blue
1. 'Hurli' written on the left hand side - something bold, like the font used in the digg.com logo.
2. Search box
3. Favorite icon -> expands to favorites list and also a way to add to favorites.
4. 'Category' icon -> expands to a category list (text list)
5. login / register buttons -> *bonus points* if this is expanded into a registry form / login box.
6. Comments icon -> expands out to comments
7. 'Sites' icon - expands to the logos of sites included in the database e.g. youtube, digg, delicious etc. Require a search box included in this expanded section.
8. Share button - expands to view all logos of popular sharing sites.
In your design, please display all of the icons, and all of the expanded sections one underneath the other. Please use large expanded boxes - ideally the length of the toolbar.
Thanks guys - you're making a difference :)

Tecmo Secret of the Stars: A Fantasy reviewReviewed June 14, 2010
Rob Hamilton says: "The Aqutallion party was a group of five kids blended together into some personality-free amalgam of suck. With the Kustera, I was controlling a ninja, a samurai and a dude named "Shark". Sure, none of them were given any personality, either, but I had a great time imagining them on various quests of heroism while I was running them in circles around a town and fighting giant eyeballs, birds and lizards. And let me tell you in my imagination, Shark is NOT someone you'd want to anger."

It's annoying to see ''YOU MUST GO TO THE CAVE OF LIGHT''. Now imagine seeing that all the time. The text is badly translated, and reeks of that ''awkward translation'' stink."

About Ju-Jitsu
Ju-Jitsu (literally "the gentle fighting art") is an empty handed extension of the sword fighting art of the Japanese Samuarai. This ancient art involves joint locks, take-downs, throws, control and restraint techniques, submission holds, chokes, pressure point techniques, as well as strikes and blocks. 2500 years ago, reference was made to Ju-Jitsu and its philosophies, of which may have occurred during the Choon Chu era (772-481 BC). The period of Japanese history between the 8th and 16th centuries had civil war and many martial arts systems were practiced and perfected on the battlefield. This training was used to conquer armored and armed opponents using close fighting. As many as they were, most have their roots in Ju-Jitsu, including most modern-day martial arts. For instance, many styles of Karate, as well as Judo (a throwing "sport"), and Aikido (known mostly as a spiritual, rather than combative art), are all fragments of Ju-Jitsu. In other words, Ju-Jitsu is all of them. It includes everything from stand-up defense, to ground-defense, to weapons defense. Some of the strengths of Ju-Jitsu are; being able to control an attacker without bodily harm, or having the option to use as much force as necessary to stop the aggression. Youth should start learning the basics of Ju-Jitsu at the age of 4, such as falls and escapes. But for more advanced techniques, the age depends on the individual. Ju-Jitsu training, also includes the use of traditional and modern weapons as defensive tools. Isshin Bushi Ju-Jitsu is a fully recognized and certified system.
What students discover at the U.S. Ju-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts Center is just that - a family that supports, encourages and helps to instill confidence in one another. Students here compete against themselves and learn from each other. To fully understand the meaning of each "Jitsu," or technique of Isshin Bushi Ju-Jitsu, all egos must be left at the door. Students train to handle adverse situations. By not competing against one another, they become proficient in the techniques necessary to protect themselves, their classmates, their family and friends.

Post subject: Margarita Ice Cream
For some reason adapting a margarita to ice cream flashed into my head today while I was driving and I thougth I'd throw down the culinary gauntlet. Before I did, knowing that alcohol changes the freezing properties of ice cream, I thought I'd do a Google search and see if someone else had done the experimenting.
Someone did. And here it is.
Haven't tried it yet. I've promised Iz his favorite flavor and then I still want to try the Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream I read about last year but haven't gotten to try yet.
Makes about 2 quarts or 8 servings
This recipe is adapted from The Complete Idiot?s Guide to Homemade Ice Cream by Dick Warren with Bobbi Dempsey (Alpha, $14.95).
5 egg yolks
Grated zest of 1 lime
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup whole milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 /3 cup semisweetened lime juice (see Note)
1 /4 cup tequila
Bring a few inches of water in a saucepan to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a heatproof mixing bowl that will fit into the pan (forming a double boiler), beat yolks until light and fluffy. Mix in zest, cream and milk.
Fit bowl into pan (water should not touch bottom of bowl). Cook over simmering water, stirring almost constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon and registers 160 degrees on a thermometer. Remove from heat. Set bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water to cool mixture quickly.
In another bowl, combine condensed milk, lime juice and tequila. Mix well. Add to cream mixture. Mix well. Refrigerate until mixture reaches 40 degrees. Transfer to an ice-cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer?s directions. Note: Semisweetened lime juice is sold in liquor stores and in the liquor aisles of super PER SERVING: 427 calories; 7 g protein; 30 g carbohydrates; 0 fiber; 29 g fat (17 g saturated); 227 mg cholesterol; 94 mg sodium

This looks about as refreshing as it can possibly get!
The "too hard" problem made me quit trying last year--( Rich said "This is good, but it isn't ice cream.")
Recently I saw this:

Thanks for that link. I'm going to copy it into my ice cream recipes.
I find that some ice creams do freeze harder than others. And some have so much fat from the cream that they sorta coat your tongue (not as delightful as it sounds). It's really a delicate dance because you can have a basic mix (the Ben & Jerry's Sweet Cream Base is fantastic!) but when you add fruit to it something else happens. It can still taste sensational but it can also be a bear to scoop.
When my ice cream is too hard I make it do a little dance: 10 min in the fridge, 5 in the freezer (so the outside doesn't just melt and leave the core still rock hard), 10 more in the fridge, etc. until it's scoopable. I've learned this technique from the Nutmeg and Buttermilk ice cream we have at Thanksgiving.
Alas! I've discovered my recipe database didn't download his links but I'll copy the html in. Thanks again, gingerpale.

I made this last night. It has the flavor of a creamy marguerita. I want to serve it in salt rimmed bowls. I think if I do it again I will use less of the condensed milk and compensate with some additional milk and sugar.
The interesting thing is it was too much alcohol for the ice cream maker. I used the one with the sealed bowl and it never even made it slushy. At that point I didn't want to pull out the ice brine one and start all over so I just put the metal pot I did the custard in in the freezer and stirred it every half hour or so to distribute the ice crystals the method I remember from the 50s. It got thick enough to pack in a container around midnight.
This morning it's got a very scoopable creamy consistency and a bit of a wallop. And I've got the two most adorable little Patron bottles a bit bigger than ink jars.

In which I receive a little lecture on Dravid's batting
The fly in the ointment of course is that it isn't much of a story. I have a hazy idea that in modern literature people can - and do - write entire chapters on people sitting by the sea, and describing individual waves rolling on to the shore but I doubt something like that would sustain dramatic interest. My auto driver story, I strongly suspect, is going to turn out like that. So if you find it terrible, please visit Andheri West where said chuck_gopal stays, and throw stones at his window.
The story: Once upon a time, I was taking an auto from Malad to Bandra, if I recall correctly, which is a big ticket purchase in Mumbai auto circles, and I was rightly getting a lot of respect from the auto guy.
We opened the conversation with light topics. On the dubious parentage of traffic policemen, we were both of unanimous opinion. The auto driver had just been reprimanded by a traffic policeman for wriggling into an open space when the cop was signalling him to stop. I wasn't feeling too good about traffic policemen as a tribe myself, having been soaked just the other day for many rupees for speaking on a cellphone while driving.
Continuing the feast of reason and flow of soul, the auto driver expressed a fairly leftist opinion of recent governmment policies which I did not share but could sympathise with. Again, he speculated on the parentage of some of our elected representatives, suggesting based on morphology, that one of the forebears was from the species canis familiaris.
The conversation turned to cricket. The auto driver, who seemed to be a self taught expert on genealogy, now discerned among the selectors' ancestry, sus scrofa domesticus. He berated several members of the cricket team as well.
I'm not much of a connoisseur of cricket but I remembered watching a match some days ago where Rahul Dravid was causing consternation among the cognoscenti for steadfastly refusing to cause wear and tear to the ball while batting. I decided to voice that opinion and suddenly, the auto came to a halt.
The auto driver parked it to a side and I could see from his expression that his assesment of me as a thinker was on par with Equus asinus asinus.
"You must be out your mind", he told me, with disturbing candour. "Dravid", he said, "is the most technically correct batsman in the side".
Getting out of the auto, he demonstrated to me how Dravid kept his head down while driving off the front foot and how balanced and measured his follow through was. Following this up with a demonstration of how Dravid played the pull shot, he told me with undisguised contempt "samajhta nahin to bolneka nahi", translating into Hindi for my benefit Boethius' quote "Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses".
The man was big hearted, however. Putting aside his contempt for me and people of my ilk, he ferried me to my destination. I was sadder but wiser. Never again would I have the temerity to criticize Rahul Dravid.
It might have been soul searing, but I do believe the experience has left me a better man.

My one good experience with a chennai autodriver was when I had to rush to Koyembedu bus stand from Adyar which is quite a distance. Me and my hubby (with a half asleep toddler) just kept nodding to all the funny pieces of information this clever guy was sharing, while trying our best not to laugh out at the Chennai-accented Tamil. All this since it was about 10 PM and we were scared abt travelling in an auto in an unknown city!!

In Jakarta, everyone watches Hindi movies dubbed into Bahasa, except for the songs which are heard as is.
On one memorable occasion, the cabbie, after asking me if I knew Sharoo Khan and Amita Bachan (yes Pak, they are both my neighbours) declared the former the best actor ever and sang the entire song from 'Kuch Kuch Hota hai' for my listening pleasure-NOT!

I have a lot of respect for Mumbai auto drivers. Since I am from Bangalore and my in-laws are in Mumbai, I have taken to comparing the two species after my marriage. The Mumbai drivers still seem to retain some sense of courtesy, sincerity and giving your change back even if it is Rs.1. In Bangalore the drivers seem to have become progressively rude, incorrigible and you can kiss your change goodbye. Such are the vagaries of life....

Auto drivers are a special breed with a knowledge of everything. Chennai auto-drivers are no less, though in my frequent trips, I've not had a chance to hear about cricketing skills. Will try my luck next time. What name do you think I should try: Sachin, Dhoni (esp being the CSK captain), Sehwag? :)
