Nov. 20, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sophomore Kate Thornton won three individual events to lead MIT women' swimming and diving to a commanding victory in a tri-match against Bowdoin College and Babson College at Zesiger Pool. The Engineers upended Bowdoin, 184-114, and defeated the Beavers, 220-78.
Thornton opened the afternoon with another 20+ second victory in the 1000 free, an event she has conquered every meet this season. She ensured closing as the day's high-point getter after securing two more first-place finishes in the 500 free and 50 breast.
Freshmen Sasha Brophy and Doria Holbrook also won multiple events to pace the Engineers' attack. Brophy put pop into Tech's sprint corps by taking first in the 50 and 100 free. In one of the day's most exciting races, Brophy also finished second in the 200 free despite swimming a season-best 1:57.35.
A week after garnering MIT's first NCAA qualification, Holbrook swept the one and three-meter diving events, outdueling senior teammate Ashley Rothenberg in both victories.

Modular Desktop Organizer Is a Pegboard For the Desk
Pegboards, usually resigned to the garage or workshop, are an excellent solution for the home office organization woes. Don't believe me? Check out these home offices with pegboard walls. Organized and fun displays, right? What if you took this idea and moved from the vertical to the horizontal? That's the idea behind B&A's Modo (Modular Desktop Organizer)...
With Modo you now have endless combinations for customization. Plug the aluminum pins into any combination and you are ready to go (examples in the video). There are 4 cable management channels and 3 USB flash drive slots. Modo can be used to organize anything from pens, letters, paper clips, push pins, USB flash drives, CDs, sticky note pads, charging and sync cables, phones or tablets (with or without a case) and much much more. Modo blends in easily at home or work.
The uses are open ended and pretty much customizable to whatever needs (and mess) gracing your desk and workspace: book stand, iPad display, pencil/pen holder, USB cable holder and guide, desktop ring toss diversion...it's all there.
Like the idea behind Modo? It's currently a Kickstarter project and just $20 gets you the Modo Early Birds Pledge - a Bamboo board, 16 long aluminum pins and 4 short aluminum pins. Not a bad deal, and possibly a long term solution to a more organized 2013 (B&A is aiming for a May delivery).

Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER) conferenceAug 28-30, Finland
The 30th Annual Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER) conference will focus on multiple and often complex relations and relationships, internal and external, to higher education institutions. In this context, political refers not only to definitions, uses, and users of power but more broadly to a variety of relationships among different actors and agencies responsible for making, executing, or resisting decisions concerning HEIs.
The conference aims to open fresh perspectives to HEIs as political institutions consisting of a variety of conflicting definitions and practices on how to organise, plan, and implement academic and managerial decisions and processes. Similar variety may occur with the multiple relationships HEIs have in their networks, formal agreements, and practical cooperation with the actors and agencies of surrounding societies.
The Conference will be taking place between the 28-30th August at the University of Jyväskylä and the Call for proposals closes on 24th March.

There is nothing wrong with being homosexual!wolf1 wrote:forum mebers,
i am a woman but i like women. is it really bad? it seems like a bad karma since i often feel that i have a harder life than heterosexual persons, and if anybody is other than normal it can brings some difficulties in the person's life.
and since it is a bad karma then is gay and lesbian sex are bad to the mind - and makes the Path slower?
You didn't choose to be homosexual so it isn't kamma, although engaging in the act is, it could be a Vipaka (fruition, result) of something (no one could tell what).
This is the life you have, and you can act in accord with the principles of the precepts (and other homosexuals do in homosexual relationships), and not let others dictate how you should feel about yourself. Or you can deny and repress yourself to fit into what you think people expect and not be who you are.

My Room: Aden
Sean and his wife created a "space wonderland" for their son in a space much smaller than a spaceship! Sean tells us more: Before baby Aden was born, my wife and I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with an 10′ x 8′ room (which used to be wife's dressing room) that we decided to use for the nursery.
We serendipitously found space themed DwellStudio bedding at Target on clearance. The bedding inspired us to create a space wonderland for Aden. We painted the walls blue/green and added orange accents. We also bought the crib from Target (DwellStudio edition) to complement our modern sensibilities.
The window treatments and crib skirts were graciously made by mother-in-law using the same space themed blankets. The wooden mobile was a gift from my manager from his European travels. The wooden letters/nuzzles were bought from Etsy (search for nuzzles). We did splurge a bit on getting the Herman Miller Eames rocker.
I am glad the nursery turned out ok considering the space constraints. Hopefully our baby will have fun and be happy at his new digs.
Thanks Sean!

Cattle culture and the beef industry have an enduring legacy in Central Florida, thanks in part to cowmen like Gilbert A. Tucker.
The 93-year-old retired seventh-generation rancher knows that history well.
Tucker's family came to Florida from Georgia in 1866 with some Spanish Cracker cattle in tow. A leisurely existence near the St. Johns River wasn't an option.
The family settled in Christmas. In 1931, Tucker and his six brothers drove 600 head of cattle 75 miles to Flagler County.
The St. Johns River was lined with "the best, most nutritious grass — like delta land," says Tucker, who lives in Rockledge and was president of the Florida Cattlemen's Association from 1975 to 1977.
In his later years, Tucker managed a ranch for A. Duda and Sons in Brevard County. "I've been all over the world, but I can truly say there's no better place to raise cattle and ranch."
In the '80s, he self-published an autobiography, "Before the Timber Was Cut — Life and Memories of a Florida Cracker." The book is a wealth of information about Florida. Today G.A. Tucker & Sons continues his legacy in the Florida cattle industry.

In part 1 of this series I wrote that George Brooks is believed to be the father of Christopher Brooks because he heired to Christopher 1000 acres in TN as a military bounty land grant.
In part 2, I discussed my belief that Christopher Brooks Sr and Susannah Williams were the parents of Christopher Williams Brooks and NOT George Brooks and provided supporting documentation to support this belief. Most of the records related to Susannah Williams.
The following post focused on Christopher Brooks Sr.
This weekend I visited the NC State Archives and searched for Christopher William(s) Brooks' Father, Christopher Brooks (Sr.) who supposedly married Susannah Williams. I searched the following records for Christopher Brooks Sr:
- Caswell Co., NC List of Taxables for 1777, 1780, & 1784 , microfilm, Call No. 020.70001
- Caswell Co., NC Index of Recorded Wills, 1777-1926, Volume 1, microfilm, Call No. 020.81001
- Caswell Co., NC Record of Wills, Volumes A, B, C, microfilm, Call No. 020.80001. These records were also abstracted by Katherine Kerr Kendall's "Caswell County, NC Will Books, 1777 – 1814 & 1814 – 1843" which can be searched on ancestry.com
- Caswell Co., NC Loose Papers of Estate Files, Call No. 020.508.080 – On 3/18/2006 I noted that there was a folder for Christopher Brooks, 1782 with Henry Williams as administrator; I can not find copies of these papers; Should be with my Christopher W. Brooks papers from 1840 and 1851. To Do: Locate and copy Christopher Brooks' estate papers from 1782
- Land grants from the State of NC, card catalog: Granville, Caswell, Orange, Edgecombe Counties
- Caswell Co., NC Index to Real Estate Conveyances, Grantors and Grantees, microfilm
Unfortunately Christopher Brooks was not listed in any of these records. I did, however, find references to other families of interest and will post those results separately.
As a side, I also searched these records for George Brooks, who most researchers believe is the father of this Christopher William(s) Brooks. I did find some references to him here.

With your background with Information Operations and cyber security, what would you advise the new U.S. Cyber Command? What should their priorities be?
I've written a lot on cyber command over the years. I believe their first priority is to create a real career path for cyber operators. Tools, tactics, and procedures are secondary to attracting and retaining talent. You can accomplish amazing feats if you have the right butts in the seats. Without that, you are guaranteed to fail. Part of that will involve identifying all of the people with cyber duties in the military. Once they have that part working, I would advise Cyber Command to think in terms of a Cyber NORAD.
Five years from now the Verizon Data Breach Report 2014 is published. What trend will be the "big red dot" in 2014? What will be your biggest surprise?
To clarify, the "big red dot" of 2009 was the huge number of records stolen by external parties, far exceeding internal intruders.
This is a really good question. I never see a future where insiders are more dangerous than outsiders. By insiders I mean people formally associated with an organization, e.g., employees, contractors, etc. Outsiders are people who are not formally associated with an organization. Insiders will remain capable of individual large incidents, but outsiders will continue to conduct repeated large and small incidents.
I will be really surprised if IPv6 is changing the way businesses operate in 2014. I think we may see internal business operations (like carrier networks) using IPv6, but I don't think we'll see a substantial user base for IPv6 by 2014. If that is not true I will be surprised.
What do you know about public/private partnerships to leverage known command and control servers? Is there any way for a CIRT to avoid third party notification by performing proactive detection?
There's a few options here. One is to join the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). FIRST maintains a private mailing list that shares information among members. Another option is to look for private associations among peer businesses. A third idea is to make contact with the many volunteer and commercial security intelligence services organizations, including The Shadowserver Foundation, Support Intelligence, Secure Science, iDefense, and many others.
With the questions answered, I'd like to say I thought Summit organizer Rob Lee did a great job (again) keeping the event moving smartly. Kris Harms, Harlan Carvey, Jamie Butler/Peter Silberman, and Brendan Dolan-Gavitt all delivered great talks. The two user panels I saw (I missed the third) were also excellent.
I wanted to record a few tricks that Kris offered so I don't forget them.
- Use the PsTools handle.exe app and grep for "pid\:" in the output to see a different sort of process list.
- Grep handle.exe output for "Mutant" to see mutexes.
- Pay attention to digital signature output in autorunsc.exe, particularly for results that are not signed and/or not verified; and signed but verification failed. Check hashes against fileadvisor.bit9.com.
- Remember to teach junior analysts a methodology, like:
- Determine if compromised.
- Develop investigative leads.
- Build a timeline.
- Determine how compromised.
- Suggest remediation measures.
- Assess impact of compromise.
While listening to the speakers, it was clear to me the differences between three communities:
- Intrusion detectors and responders
- Computer forensics investigators
- Litigation support and ediscovery investigators
I thought this slide by Jess Garcia from One eSecurity showing one practitioner's opinion on the variety of forensics tools was interesting.
I still need to try MANDIANT Audit Viewer. Jamie Butler and Pete Silberman noted that since MANDIANT Memoryze uses live analysis to access the Windows page file, they don't run into issues found when trying to combine a dead page file with a memory capture.
I'm looking forward to next year! If you do IR, you should try to be there.

New Car Review
2013 Subaru BRZ: New Car Review
Subaru is well-known for its turbocharged, all-wheel-drive WRX and WRX STI. But in the 2013 Subaru BRZ, the Japanese automaker has done a full 180-degree U-turn from its familiar formula. Powered by a normally aspirated 200-horsepower 2.0-liter engine and propelled by its rear wheels, the BRZ is a remarkably balanced 2-door sports car. Lightweight and agile, it's a sports car lover's dream come true. Designed with Toyota (you may notice the striking similarities between the BRZ and the Scion FR-S), the BRZ's engine and suspension are largely Subaru, while the styling and interior come from Toyota.
The BRZ isn't for everyone, however. Although it has a small back seat, the BRZ's cabin is really only fit for two passengers. Technophiles won't be impressed with the audio and infotainment system, which may be one of the least intuitive in the industry. There aren't even steering-wheel-mounted audio controls available. But, if you're looking for a fun sport coupe with great road manners, a wonderful 6-speed manual transmission and sleek good looks, the 2013 Subaru BRZ deserves at least a couple of test drives.
What's New for 2013?
2013 marks the first year for the Subaru BRZ.
What We Like
Balanced chassis; communicative steering; comfy front seats; seductive styling; reasonably well-equipped for the price
What We Don't
Engine could use more power; poorly designed audio system; no steering wheel audio controls; cramped rear seat
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The Subaru BRZ is powered by an all-new 2.0-liter boxer engine, meaning its pistons lay on their sides in a horizontally opposing configuration. The normally aspirated 4-cylinder generates 200 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. With the 6-speed manual, the BRZ earns an Environmental Protection Agency estimate of 22 miles per gallon city/30 mpg hwy. With the 6-speed automatic, fuel economy jumps to 25 mpg city/34 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
Subaru offers the 2013 BRZ in two well-equipped trims: Premium and Limited. Both trims come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and offer the option of a 6-speed automatic with manual shift control.
The BRZ Premium ($26,265) brings air conditioning, cruise control, power mirrors, one-touch up/down power windows, power door locks with remote fob, leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel, a 65/35 split folding rear seat, limited-slip rear differential, HID headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels and a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system with Bluetooth, real-time traffic alerts, USB/iPod port and HD radio.
The BRZ Limited ($28,265) adds fog lights, Alcantara and leather seat inserts, push-button start, a rear spoiler, illuminated sun visor vanity mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control and the Cold Weather Package that adds heated front seats and heated side mirrors.
The BRZ offers a modest trunk measuring 6.9 cu ft that can be expanded by folding down the rear seat backs.
Every BRZ comes standard with anti-lock brakes, electronic traction and stability control and six airbags, including front, front side and side curtain. Although the government has yet to crash-test the BRZ, the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has. The BRZ earned top marks in every test, including the moderate overlap front, roof-strength, and seat and head restraint tests. It also was a Top Safety Pick.
Behind the Wheel
With only 151 lb-ft of torque, the BRZ isn't going to deliver the same neck-snapping acceleration as its WRX brothers. But, thanks to its lightweight chassis, if you're willing to get the revs up over 5,000 rpm and really work the 6-speed manual, the BRZ will bring a smile to your face every time you take it for a spin. Driving the BRZ reminds us of another old favorite, the Mazda RX-8. Wonderfully neutral in the curves, with precise steering, great brakes and tenacious traction, the BRZ is the kind of car you want to push through winding mountain roads for hours on end.
Best of all, as an everyday driver, the BRZ is easy to live with. Its ride isn't too harsh or jarring, the gas mileage is pretty good and its maintenance schedule is no more expensive than the average family sedan.
Other Cars to Consider
Hyundai Genesis Coupe -- The Genesis is a bigger car with more interior room, a more powerful engine and a much better audio/navigation system. But it's not as precise in the curves, and feels heavy.
Ford Mustang V6 -- The V6 Mustang can't match the BRZ's handling, but it does offer more power, features and muscular appearance.
Chevrolet Camaro V6-- Like the Mustang, the Camaro offers more power and a more machismo look than the BRZ, but it is also noticeably heavier, with poor outward visibility and less agility in the turns.
AutoTrader's Advice
Unless you absolutely can't live without heated seats and side mirrors (and the few other amenities), go with the base Premium trim over the Limited. It has everything you need to enjoy what the BRZ is all about, plus you can use some of the $2,000 savings to replace the underwhelming navigation radio with a nice aftermarket system.

mu extension > Community and leadership > Award funds multifaceted South African experience
Letitia Johnson traveled to South Africa to further develop MU Extension's relationship with the University of Western Cape. Professional and program development were the main goals, cultural lessons were a bonus.
When Letitia "Tish" Johnson received the Ronald J. Turner Endowment Global Education Award to travel to the University of Western Cape in Bellville, South Africa, she discovered that people in South Africa and people in Missouri have more in common than not.
One purpose of the trip was to develop MU Extension's role in the partnership the University of Missouri has had with University of Western Cape since 1986. Vice Chancellor Michael Ouart began identifying a role for MU Extension in the partnership in 2009.
Johnson, a community development specialist for MU Extension, saw the trip as a unique opportunity to expand her professional knowledge and experience.
"Overall, traveling expands my knowledge. It expands my ability to understand and identify the right resources to work with communities," said Johnson.
Letitia Johnson joined faculty and administrators from University of WesternCape to tour the community of Hangberg, South Africa, a site targeted by UWCfor comprehensive community development assistance.Photo courtesy of Letitia Johnson.
"Tish was ideal for this job because of her international experience and her community leadership development experience," MU Extension community development director Mary Leuci said. "She was very interested and has good leadership skills, too."
Johnson's visit laid the groundwork for a new program that would facilitate a community leadership program for both institutions. Community leaders from Missouri and South Africa would learn from each other through the proposed program and might even travel to each other's countries. Leuci hopes that Johnson's work will build upon MU Extension's recently submitted grant proposal to the U.S. State Department focused on fostering community economic development and entrepreneurship skills among young professionals in Missouri, South Africa and Kenya.
"It is not about a hand up or a hand out," Johnson said about the partnership. "It is about working together. I've been to Thailand and Ireland, too, and it's amazing to me how similar communities and people are. It's the context that's different."
It is those similarities and differences that Johnson said help her see community development issues in a new light.
"In South Africa, there is an emphasis on personal health and nutrition that we don't have in the U.S.," Johnson said. "We focus more on economics and jobs. I think they really believe that it takes healthy people to build healthy communities."
As a result of her trip, Johnson has connected with an attorney in Uganda working on reproductive health issues, and she may have found a host for her doctoral research.
"I visited a lot of people and my brain was just buzzing all of the time," Johnson said about the possibilities developing from her experience. "My biggest hurdle is that I have to sleep at night.

While most look to Tokyo for cutting-edge automotive trends and technological advancements, a little known fact is that many of Japan's famed aftermarket manufacturers and tuners actually hail from the Kansai area of Osaka. And while the Tokyo Auto Salon is often regarded as the more distinguished older brother, the Osaka Auto Messe can be viewed as the cooler, more core, and younger sibling.
Annually held at INTEX (International Exhibition Space) Osaka for three days, this car show draws tuners, manufacturers, and enthusiasts from across the globe into the Suminoe-ku district of Japan. Advertised as a "dress-up" show, cars of the unordinary as well as models dressed in cosplay were encouraged to attend.
Most would say that the Japanese VIP scene actually started in Kansai and the bippu section was well represented with Junction Produce, Wald, and Aim Gain having a strong presence with some of the best examples of the scene. Some of these vehicles defy physics by placing a highly aggressive wheel fitment, coupled with extreme camber and surgeon like fender rolling, to create the ultimate look.
With a lack of sports car offerings from Japanese manufacturers, the Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, and Nissan GT-R were the cars of the show. TRD showed off their Griffon concept, which just hit a personal best of 58.40 seconds at the Tsukuba Circuit. One of the weirdest hybrids was a SR20DET-powered 86, say what you will about the mix-matched heart, but a turbocharged 2.0-liter might be just what the doctor ordered. Miura-san of Rocket Bunny fame, who also resides in the western region of Japan, was showing off a fine example of an 86 with his newly released 6666 mesh wheels. On the far spectrum were a number of flashy rides as well as Bosozoku machines with exhaust pipes proudly jutting out their rear sections.
One thing that is undeniable about Osaka is that they definitely have their own unique style, and that shines through with the personalities from this area.

Loved P3P when i played it a year ago so im highly looking forward to this. While i would of prefered a TV adaption i think this can work out quite well if its a movie series with 3 parts like the mardock scramble films. My main concern is what their going to cut and not though only 1 social link is technichally canon so they shouldn't have a problem skipping over most of them.

Single movie? Lolz. The best of the Persona franchise gets shafted . Grim dark atmosphere, better plot and we had one "potentially" annoying character (Yukari) compared to the 3 in Persona 4 (Rise, Chie, Ted). It made up for the primary criticism of "Tartarus" grinding that a good half of Persona 3 was involved in.
Ah well, should be thankful we are getting one, even though it's most likely gonna suck. Persona 4 had 2 seasons... and that sucked bad.

Why a movie adaptation? It's gonna be like Unlimited Blade Works. Give it the Persona 4 treatment and give it the full series adaptation.
However, this does leave optimistic for other Persona series to be adapted. Now if only I could get a Digital Devil Saga adaptation.

Yukari was only one of so many. In P3 it's easier to ask me what character I like as there're so many I really dislike (and I seriously hate Yukari). P4 is the total opposite where it's easier to ask me which character I dislike as it's only Ai and Yumi-whatever that were annoying lol
But well, that's not the topic.
I wonder how they're going to do the thing with the movie. Maybe I'll watch it, depends on how much Ryouji is in~

I honestly really think that it's possible to do a credible movie version of P3, but to do so would entail massive cuts unlikely to please the people most likely to watch it in the first place. It's tough... But I mean, just cutting out the full moon/Arcana stuff--while it removes a lot of the fun *of the game* and the tension--shortens the timeline, at least, considerably.
As someone else mentioned, if you did that, then you don't need to represent every single Arcana (or at least, not every one that's represented in the game), and you could stick with the best and/or most important battles for the overarching plot.
It's true that I became... uh, excessively attached to the characters during my (estimated) 400 total hours (among all versions) of game play, but realistically and objectively, I cannot say that everyone's backstory was equally interesting. With that in mind, I think you can easily pare down the ones that aren't plot-specific (I don't think Juunpei's was, was it? It's been a while; obviously, he has an important relationship during the game that shouldn't be cut).
Akahito/Ken/Mitsuru share a backstory that is a main plot line, so will be covered anyway.
Mitsuru/Yukari share a backstory that can be gestured at during the vacation sequence (necessary as mentioned for Aegis, and during which you can cover her story, as well).
Do I think it will actually be phenomenally great as a movie per se? Not especially, but it can still be enjoyable. I'd obviously prefer to get a full series, but I'll take what I can get. I enjoyed Unlimited Bladeworks just fine, as did my roommate who hasn't played the game/read the FZ novels.
Although... I shall miss my MC, who was, I believe, named Barko-san for reasons that now totally escape me. I think on NG+, he gradated to Barko-sama.

Imo, I personally prefer P3 over p4....
I don't think they could fit everything into a movie even if they do make it like 2:30hour like haruhi movie....
I am sad that i won;t be seeing P3 like P4 animation but happy cos i will at least be seeing it as an animation...
...hopefully the make movie series
There is still Episode Aegis from FES...think that one is going to be ignored?

Judging by the timer i'm guessing we will find out more news at around 12 a clock mid night. Guessing that its the same staff from the P4 anime judging by the design for minato...or whatever his name was in the drama CD.

General Overview:
Like my name says, I'm nothing if not eclectic. I enjoy more traditional gaming experiences like Savage Worlds and GURPS, but also find myself drawn to various indie games like Don't Rest Your Head and Dread. It's pretty difficult to predict what will pique my interest, but this resume should give you some idea of what I've already done. I'm also a bit scatter-brained, and I don't know every game out there, so if you'd like to invite me to play in a game you're running, go

PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay in Baltimore.
Now joining us from Amherst, Massachusetts, is James Boyce. He's the director of the Program on Development, Peace Building, and the Environment at the PERI institute. He's also a professor of economics at Amherst.
Thanks very much for joining us, James.
JAMES BOYCE, PROF. ECONOMICS, UMASS AMHERST: Nice to be back, Paul.
JAY: So, James, you've written a new book titled Economics, the Environment and Our Common Wealth. Before we dig into some of the issues in the book, what was your kind of overriding objective in producing the book?
BOYCE: Well, what I wanted to do was bring out the fact that when we worry about environmental degradation, when we worry about pollution and depletion of natural resources, we should be thinking not only about the relationship between humans and the natural world, but also the relationships among human beings, because, basically, when we find problems of environmental degradation, we find problems where some people are benefiting at the expense of other people. If nobody was being harmed, it wouldn't be a problem, at least not from the standpoint of economics.
So what I wanted to do in the book, Paul, was lift up the notion that these environmental problems are also social and economic and political problems and point to the implications of starting from an ethical standpoint that every human being on the face of the earth, present and future generations, we all have an equal right to a clean and safe environment, and think through what it would mean to actually organize our environmental policies around that fundamental principle.
JAY: So the thing is that, if I get it correctly, we're—to a large extent here, the reason there's such environmental degradation and the reason there's such, I guess, opposition to dealing with issues like climate change—but it also includes issue of toxic poisoning of our environment—is that there's interests there, there's people that make money out of it, and that ethical concerns or the issue of human rights is not very paramount to those people.
BOYCE: Yeah, that's right, Paul. I mean, these things don't just happen by accident; they happen following various patterns, right? And we have to ask, whenever we see a problem of environmental degradation, who benefits from activities that are causing the problem (if nobody benefited, it wouldn't be happening), who gets harmed, and why is it that the beneficiaries, the winners, are able to impose these harms on other people. And that really is the starting point for the book.
JAY: So what should be done? In this sense: it seems that—I guess there's short term and long term. There has been some victory, you could say, reforms in mitigating some environmental degradation. But are we facing issues that are so profound, so deep, that in fact there needs to be a bigger social transformation before they can be dealt with?
BOYCE: Well, I think we need to build on the victories we've achieved in the past, which are not inconsequential or minor, and move forward. But it's clear that we do need some big changes down the road. We've still got big problems to address.
I think what we need to build on are not only the victories of the environmental movement which brought us the Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act and so on, but also the victories of the civil rights movement, of the voter rights movements, and so on which have helped to empower the people who tend to be on the losing end of environmental problems, the people who tend to be victimized most. Pollution, resource depletion, these don't affect everybody equally, Paul. Some people get hit harder than others, and it tends to be low-income communities and people of color who get hit the hardest here in the United States. It tends to be low-income people around the world who get hit the hardest.
And so if we want to address environmental problems, we also have to think about how to improve the ability of those who have the most to gain from addressing these problems to make their voices heard and to make their health and well-being and their children's well-being a central issue in the protection of the environment.
JAY: So what would you like to see? And concretely, what do you think needs to be done, given the current state of politics and such?
BOYCE: Well, I think we need to lift up the basic democratic and human rights principles that underlie environmental protection. We're not just interested in protecting the environment and nature for its own sake. It's not just about polar bears or spotted owls. It's about real people here and now, and it's about the well-being of future generations. And we need to think about those people when we're thinking about protecting the environment. We need to think about kids whose life opportunities are being affected by the pollution to which they're being exposed as infants and as small children. Air pollution, water pollution, these are human issues, human rights issues, and we need to be thinking about that and thinking about our commitment as a society to making sure that every child has an opportunity to live to their full potential and to have a productive and healthy and happy life. And I think if we broaden out our concerns with the environment to include our concerns with people, we can broaden the constituencies for doing something about the really serious environmental problems that we face today.
JAY: Because, like, I'm in Baltimore. In places—you know, some of the very poor areas of East Baltimore, West Baltimore, it's very hard for people to relate to, for example, climate change, which seems rather abstract when you're facing such, you know, difficulties getting through the day or very immediate issues of pollution. Like, there's a guy in East Baltimore that does a toxic tour, when they take you around east Baltimore, the amount of toxic dumps right next to where people are living, yet they sit there year after year.
BOYCE: Yeah, that's right. These are immediate environmental problems, and we ought to be paying attention to them. And there's no conflict between doing that and paying attention to climate change. After all, burning of fossil fuels, which is the main culprit in climate change, also releases lots of other nasty pollutants that impact local communities. And it is the kinds of communities you're talking about in Baltimore, in metropolitan areas across the country, that tend to be impacted worst by those emissions of pollutants from refineries, power plants, etc. It's also the case that as the climate changes, the people who are most vulnerable to those climate changes are low-income people who don't have the resources to adapt, don't have the air conditioners, don't have the ability to live in the leafy suburbs, don't have the ability to even get out of town when a hurricane like Katrina hits.
So I think that dealing with the environment is really a social justice issue, Paul, and I think, to move forward, that's how we need to increasingly frame it. We need to recognize that piece of the picture.
and my response-

Spending-deal vote could be Thurs.
A six-month stop-gap spending bill took final shape in Congress Monday, as House and Senate negotiators agreed to a formula that will raise most appropriations accounts by about 0.6 percent to meet the $1.047 trillion spending target set for the new fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
The House Rules Committee posted the 29-page continuing resolution, or CR, on its website in the evening with the expectation that the measure could come to a House floor vote as early as Thursday.
Story Continued Below
The goal is to avert any threat of a government shutdown while allowing lawmakers to quickly get back to campaigning at home. But the agencies left behind will pay a price given the rigidity of the funding.
Just under $2 billion in select priority programs would enjoy increases. Federal wild land and forest firefighting costs — about $800 million — are the single largest items. A $145 million increase is also provided for processing the backlog of veterans benefit applications and $282 million to purchase new cybersecurity software to protect government computers.
The Small Business Administration and such diverse items as aid for refugee children and nuclear weapons modernization also share in the increases. But the more formulaic across-the-board increase — precisely 0.612 percent — covers the bulk of the estimated $8 billion added for non-emergency appropriations.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) has been most insistent on this approach, hoping that it will pressure Congress to take a second look at doing individual bills or an omnibus package after November's election or early next year. But there is also a destructive side to such a mechanical formula, and as a practical matter, scores of initiatives and promised new starts will be stymied.
What's out of the bill then can be as important as what is in.
For example, no attempt was made to insert disaster aid for drought stricken farmers. The Coast Guard will have to wait longer for its sixth national security cutter. And the Pentagon, which typically escapes such long-term CR's, will be severely pinched by the limits on entering into new contracts.
A planned multi-year procurement of the V-22 Osprey — important to the Marines as well as special operations forces — will be effectively delayed. Likewise, the USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class nuclear powered aircraft carrier, will have to wait longer for a scheduled overhaul and refueling.
The clearest savings are in the area of overseas contingency funds, including military operations in Afghanistan.
These so-called OCO accounts will be capped at President Barack Obama's 2013 reduced request of $96.7 billion. This is a 24 percent, or almost $30 billion, drop from fiscal 2012. And much as Republicans have criticized Obama's handling of the Afghanistan conflict, this peace dividend allows them to show conservatives that that total spending is still falling — even with the extra $8 billion allowed.

The best Thai restaurants on Long Island
First comes the spicy jolt of hot chili peppers. Then, the salty, pungent lick of fish sauce, bumping up against the sour tang of tamarind and lime. Bringing balance is a touch of sweetness from palm sugar. All this in a single sip of tom yum shrimp soup.
With its seductive dance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy, Thai food can set your heart to pumping. At each of these Long Island favorites, a Thai chef skillfully manipulates the multifold flavors of this compelling cuisine.
Thai Taste
Thai Taste, Massapequa Park: In a quietly elegant setting defined by autumn colors, you will find tom kha gai, chicken coconut soup, done with subtlety and skill. Also on the menu are irresistible cilantro corn fritters. Other standouts include pad kee mao, stir-fried flat noodles with crushed chili and basil, and a very good shrimp massaman curry. (Under the same ownership: Thai Table, Rockville Centre.)
Thai Coconut
Thai Coconut, Wantagh: A simply but tastefully appointed little restaurant just steps from the LIRR station where you'll be happy to commune with a bowl of sour-spicy tom yum goong that's rife with plump shrimp. Also good: tom ka tai (a nuanced chicken coconut milk soup), yam pla muik (calamari salad), Panang curry with pumpkin and beef, mango duck.
Ra-Kang in Long Beach serves a knockout Panang curry, pictured, with duck.
Thai House
Thai House, Smithtown: Amphai Holmquist took over as chef-owner of this restaurant four years ago, adding lots of spark. Her sweet-sour-salty-spicy duck salad is a standout laced with apples. Fine, too, are drunken noodles with vegetables and a vibrant-hot shrimp massaman curry. Don't miss her house-made cinnamon ice cream.
Siam Lotus
Siam Lotus, Bay Shore: Danny Poom opened this popular Thai restaurant back in 1992. Neither the decor nor the high quality of the cuisine has essentially changed. Recent favorites include a fragrant shrimp salad with lemongrass and hot peppers, an inventive massaman chicken curry done with avocados and spicy noodles with pork, both fiery and comforting.
Thai Angel
Thai Angel, Islandia: Hidden away in a nondescript strip mall is this surprisingly large and lovely Thai spot whose owner, Nakul Keattikul, grows chilies in his backyard. You will feel their power if you order your Penang chicken curry or spicy noodles Thai hot. Spicy and sweet basil duck is a treat, too.
Krung Tep Thai Bistro
a href="http://long-island.newsday.com/restaurants/krung-tep-thai-bistro-1.9677513">Krung Tep Thai Bistro, Great Neck: In a serenely pretty little dining room, you'll find an array of delicious dishes including the knockout Thai spareribs (pictured), a dish you won't see on most Thai menus; tom yum soup with shrimp hits all the right spicy-salty-sour-sweet notes; a red curry with shrimp has fire power; and is a resonant green curry with fish filets tthat marry well with the eggplant-studded sauce.
Frankly Thai
Frankly Thai, Franklin Square: Jintana Lauchalermsuk cooks the food of her homeland with respect, passion and a certain lightness. She offers five levels of spicing and honors requests. Standouts include a superb pad Thai, curry puffs, duck salad, drunken noodles and eggplant with basil.
Sripraphai, Williston Park: The LI offshoot of the Woodside temple of authentic Thai cuisine offers a dizzying array of dishes spiced to spec. Recommendations include larb, a salad of pork with mint, chili and lime; barbecued pork tenders; crisp Chinese watercress with chicken, shrimp and squid, as well as papaya salad with dry shrimp and peanuts.
Phayathai, Lake Ronkonkoma: Chef-owner Veerawat Satsri cooks with skill and subtlety and will give you the heat level requested. Recommendations: electrifying shrimp hot and sour soup; radna, a comforting main course noodle soup; drunken noodles with chicken; crisp, juicy basil duck; and Penang salmon with chopped shrimp and a coconut curry sauce.
Sabai Thai Bistro
Sabai Thai Bistro, Miller Place: At this elegant Thai restaurant, the interplay of sweet, spicy, salty and sour comes through in such dishes as a chicken and mango curry that vegetarians can get with imitation duck. Super pad thai, too. (Under same ownership: Thai Gourmet in Port Jefferson Station.)
Sarin Thai
Sarin Thai, Greenvale: A spacious, formal spot where the tom yum soup hits all the right notes and a shredded papaya salad with peanuts highlights the four primary flavors of Thai cuisine. Also recommended: a ringing hot sea scallop red curry and spicy pad kee mao, noodles with shrimp.

On the afternoon before the Astros and their fans honor Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera, Rivera spent a half-hour Saturday with 18 Astros employees fans to thank them for their contributions to baseball.
Rivera has met with similar groups in 21 ballparks this season, with his Saturday session being the last as he prepares to wrap up his Hall of Fame career today in the Yankees-Astros season finale.
"I wanted to make sure that I said thanks to everyone, not only the ones who were on the field or the areas where we have contact with them, but for those I would never see – those behind the scenes who do something for baseball," he said. "It has been remarkable. It has been outstanding. I thank God for those people.
"We are united here today because of baseball. We have all kind of nationalities, all kind of colors … but we are united by one game, the game that we all love and have passion for. The word passion means a lot to me, I have passion for the game and respect for whoever does anything involved in baseball."
Rivera's audience included groundskeeper Willie Berry, who tends to the pitcher's mound where Rivera likely will not pitch this weekend, and fan Rick Smith, whose family has had Astros or Colt. 45s season tickets for 51 years, and Astros employees who work in engineering, the ticket office, the warehouse and in guest services.
"We love you for your example and the fact that you take a platform and you don't just speak it, you live it," said Bill Cannon, who has worked 37 years in the Astros ticket office.
Rivera spent much of the 30-minute session speaking of his religious faith and its impact on his life and career, but he also drew laughter from the group when he spoke of a conversation with a Tampa Bay Rays employee.
"He said, Mariano, I admire you and love you and you are the best at what you do and you are great, but thank God you are retiring,'" Rivera said.
After the laughter subsided, he said, "That is why we wanted to do this, so we could have fun and know each other. Baseball brings us together and brings the best from everybody."
Rivera gave each of the 18 workers and fans an autographed baseball and posed for photos.

English players warned over BPL
English cricket remains "very nervous" about the participation of players in the Bangladesh Premier League and has warned those taking part of the risks. The head of the players' union does not believe any significant improvements have been made since last year's controversial debut edition.
Alex Hales, Luke Wright and Ravi Bopara are the highest-profile English players to have been bought by franchises although a host of other county cricketers have been snapped up. Michael Lumb and James Taylor, who both play for Nottinghamshire alongside Hales, withdrew from the auction. All the players who earned deals on Thursday are understood to have been granted No-Objection Certificates by their counties but not without concerns.
"We remain very nervous about the competition," Angus Porter, the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association, told ESPNcricinfo. "I don't see any evidence that the competition is going to be better off or better organised than it was last year. I'm not sure anyone involved in the game is very comfortable with this event.
"We haven't yet seen any final contracts, we are uncomfortable with the proposed payment schedule for players. We brought all the issues we can to the attention of players but at the end of the day it is their decision whether they go. From a financial and organisational point of view, we still think the tournament has a lot to prove."
Following the first edition of the BPL last year players suffered from delayed payments and the PCA had to get heavily involved to ensure money was delivered. Although those issues have now been resolved some of the coaches and backroom staff from the 2012 tournament are still without fees.
A new payment structure is in place for this year's tournament with players receiving 25% before the tournament, another quarter before it finishes then the remaining 50% within six months but Porter does not believe this system is any more secure.
"The proposed payment schedule for this year is actually worse than last year," he said. "The players will get to the end of the tournament with only 25% of the fee in their pocket if it goes to plan and of that a chuck is having to go to an agent proposed by the BPL. They won't have an awful lot of money even if the schedules are met until a considerable time after the tournament. That is far from satisfactory, given the events of last year."
The other significant area of concern was the policing of corruption. Porter has spoken to a number of the players involved in the auction to outline the risks and the PCA's concerns, but he also understands why some continue to pursue an opportunity.
"A number of players I've spoken to have said they want to go for the experience and boost their talents," he said. "They are aware of the risk they are taking. I am concerned though that the tournament is sending a signal to organisers of tournaments that you can mess with players and not deliver an event that has the governance you want to have."

About Kakadu
Located in Moshav Tzafririm- Elah Valley, next to the "Adulam" Forest Preserve, Kakadu was founded in 1990 by Aharon and Reut Shahar, Kakadu offers a wide variety of handmade and hand painted items for the home. Reut is an artist and musician and has developed unique techniques for hand painting wood. Aharon being a woodworker and designer contributes to both manufacturing and designing the products. Aharon has developed a finishing technique that allows all Kakadu products to be used constantly for years without wearing out.

Taking much inspiration from art, nature + ecology, creation and Jewish roots, common themes include animals, birds, butterflies, flowers + leaves, and people, as well as the abstract. Pomegranates and the seven spices are a common theme, particularly on their Judaica items.
From their innovative and colorful wooden carpets, furniture, tableware, art, and Judaica, Kakadu has just what you're looking for.
As every item is individually hand painted no two are exactly alike.
All Kakadu products are hand painted and coated in a durable and washable lacquer that preserves them through time and usage. The lacquer finish makes Kakadu products extremely resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture. Woods used include carefully selected pinewood and African plywood. Kakadu uses environmentally friendly materials and recycles whenever possible.

I bet you just dream of a beautiful woman like me who can't get enough sex and always wants some hanky panky. I love to suck cock and fuck hard anywhere and everywhere. I am already wet just thinking about sex with you.
What is it that really turns you on? Anal sex, role playing, fucking, licking, touiching, watching, watchin gme with other women? All the above? You name it and it's your pleasure, baby. I want so badly to please you. Won't you let me?
I am here all alone in my silk lingerie with hard nipples and a tight shaved pussy just waiting to hear from you so I can indulge all of your fantasies. I know you'll enjoy the time we spend together as I satisfy your desires. I'd love to have you in my mouth, my pussy and my ass. You can even shoot your creamy load between my beautiful tits. we can be hot and nasty or sweet and sexy. It's all about you, what you need and want.
I can't wait to pick up the phone and hear you tell me what you want. Don't be shy. Call me now, I am waiting anxiously.... licks & kisses.

Sold out, 800 people.
Signing at Kawaii cafe on Saturday was only the first 100.
I meet up with 3 other Dutchies and they have numbers 102 ... and they were not let in.
But they were very close to the girls when they leaved the cafe, so they made some good videos and pics.
Signing after concert was pre arranged on the web for 200 people, but was full in a couple of seconds
And for the encore,
After the last song they sad goodbye get of stage and came back immidiatly for the
''hands together'' final bow.
So i was expecting no encore.
The signing was from 8 to 9 and Airi is not allowed to work after 9 so it was tight scedule.
They left the Moulin around 9.30
Posted 15 February 2012 - 05:23 PM
It was the first 100 people. I still have the email. Where/when was the signing session at the cafe announced?

Indeed 100 and the signing at the cafe was announced on Thursday evening
Im very happy that the local bookoff had my missing HP Maki single- Secret

woah... tough choice....
Posted 16 February 2012 - 09:52 AM
You had to buy the poster 8 euro or CD 25 euro.
So lets say 100 x 25 =2500 euro's extra cash.

The draw of having a chance to actually meet the members at the signing is much bigger than the performance itself. You can watch them perform any time, but the chance to meet them may be once in a lifetime.
Remind me, how many times have YOU seen Buono!?
Posted 17 February 2012 - 05:13 AM
Posted 17 February 2012 - 05:40 AM
Countless times. I can put their blu-rays in or go to their youtube page any time that I want.
Isn't that the same as saying going to a signing is the same as watching H!P time?
Going to a concert and watching a DVD are two different things.
How many more times are they going to perform in Europe, will they ever perform in America?
Cutting a live show down just to do some crappy signing was a mistake imo.
Posted 17 February 2012 - 05:46 AM
As a jaded HP fan with several dozen HP events behind me, the concert-going experience soon lost its appeal, especially in the wake of the wota takeover, but those up close and personal events still hold strong in my memories.
Posted 17 February 2012 - 05:53 AM
I'm not saying don't do a signing, you seem to be misunderstanding my point.
The point here is that they didn't do a longer set list / encore BECAUSE they did a signing, in these circumstances fuck the signing and try and get as many fans as possible so that they'll be invited back for more concerts and maybe in other countries too.
Posted 17 February 2012 - 06:05 AM
On Buono's end, they had to make do on an unfamiliar stage without their band and most likely the majority of their usual concert staff, so a limited set list is understandable. The other foreign HP concerts have all been just as limited in scope, much shorter than their Japanese concerts, so I wasn't expecting more from them. I doubt Berryz will perform any more than an hour when they come to Jersey as well.
And if you were a Buono fan and given the choice of watching a less than optimal Buono concert or meeting the girls, how could you not choose to meet them instead?
Posted 17 February 2012 - 08:24 AM
I thought the booing was pretty bad, again it wasn't aimed at the girls themselves, but surely even a shorter than usual set list should have a finished feel to it, from what I've read the fans mostly left feeling satisfied but that something was missing.
Maybe it's just a difference of opinions, but I don't see what they got from the signing if anything. the 100 who got in were already fans.
I guess there's a case of treating the fans well and they will stay, but an effort to get more fans may have been the better move.
Posted 17 February 2012 - 10:53 AM
The camera crews were still standing behind their camera's waiting for the encore.
But a Staff member was already collecting stuff from the stage.
I heard from people, while we were screaming for encore a soundlicious chief making phonecals.
I asume that they also would have an encore.
Also president of Upfront Yukako Yamazaki was there so maybe they were a bit nervous.
And i guess there are good contacts because soundlicious said on there site that there will be a big event during japanexpo Paris at the je-live house.
The Japanexpo is from 5 to 8 July.

appreciation for the fansubs
I would just like to express my appreciation to all the hardworking people who take time out of their own schedules to make our favorite anime series more accesable to a bunch of fans who they will probably never even meet, and likely will never even get an e-mail from, it's their hard work that allows us to continue watching these fansubs and even though there are probably lots of complaints and few compliments, they continue to strive for our benefit. so to any distributers reading this. thank you

I did this before on ubuntu, also with da guide from this site and got everything up and running in minutes so I'm not sure what's the problem here. Anyway, my problem now: Some files work, others don't. So I created 3 files with the following permissions and the only file that can be parsed is info.php. I know this is a permission issue but I don't know how to fix it. Also, I would like access with other users except root & www-data to the www folder (it's located in /home/wouterds/www in my configuration). Please feel free to try it yourself: http://paradox-productions.net/ Permissions: Sorry for the weird post and my bad English but I'm really stressed at the moment it still doesn't work and it's so easy to do. Thanks in advance, WouterDS

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is a port that consists of GNU userland using the GNU C library on top of FreeBSD's kernel, coupled with the regular Debian package set.
This is a release in progress. It has been released with Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) as a technology preview and the first non-Linux port.
There's more information about the port (including an FAQ) in the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD wiki page.
Mailing lists
Debian GNU/k*BSD mailing list.
#debian-kbsd IRC channel (at irc.debian.org).
Because we use Glibc the portability problems are very simple and most times it's just a matter of copying a test case for "k*bsd*-gnu" from another Glibc-based system (like GNU or GNU/Linux). Look at the porting document for details.
Also look at the TODO file for more details on what needs to be done.
Available Hardware for Debian Developers
asdfasdf.debian.net (kfreebsd-amd64) and io.debian.net (kfreebsd-i386) are available to Debian developers for porting work. Please see the machine database for more information about these machines. In general, you will be able to use the two chroot environments: testing and unstable. Note that these systems are not yet administrated by DSA, so do not send requests to debian-admin about it. Instead use firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

ARM, Freescale, IBM, Samsung, ST-Ericsson and Texas Instruments have joined forces and created a not-for-profit company called Linaro. The aims of the new company are simple:
- To invest resources in open source projects for Android, LiMo, MeeGo, Ubuntu and webOS
- To provide stable, optimized tools, kernel, and middleware software on a six-month update cycle
- To help cut time-to-market for new devices including smart phones, tablets, digital televisions, automotive entertainment and enterprise equipment
In other words, Linaro exists to push ahead with the release of devices running Linux variants and open source software, and to support development for those devices in the long-term.
Tom Lantzsch, executive officer, Linaro explains how Linaro will help specifically with consumer device roll-out:
The dramatic growth of open source software development can now be seen in Internet-based, always-connected mobile and consumer products. Linaro will help accelerate this trend further by increasing investment on key open source projects and providing industry alignment with the community to deliver the best Linux-based products for the benefit of the consumer.
The main drive of Linaro seems to be developing advanced products that run using low-power ARM-based system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions and Linux. That alone is not enough, however, as the iPhone has shown you need a strong development community around a device. So Linaro will also cater to the developer through software, hopefully making it an easy choice to develop apps for such devices.
Jane Silber, CEO of Ubuntu's company Canonical, sums up the importance of Linaro best by saying:
The existence of Linaro will significantly simplify the process of making Linux-based consumer devices available to market. By standardising many of the core software components, companies can focus on creating great user experiences on embedded devices through to smart phones. Canonical is delighted to participate in what will be a significant driver of the success of Linux on ARM, in the consumer electronics market.
The first goal for Linaro is set for November 2010 when performance optimizations for the ARM Cortex-A processor family will be released.
Read more at the Linaro press release
Matthew's Opinion
Anyone wondering when those ARM-based tablets and netbooks are going to appear can now look to Linaro for answers. With the companies involved, the software promised, and the investment capital available, there's no excuse for such devices not appearing in short order.
Linaro seems to be about more than just devices though, they want a development community around such devices. No developer or end user is going to complain about that. Companies such as ARM, IBM, and Freescale developing optimized kernels, solid middleware, and development tools, will only make app development easier. It should also take the overall quality of those apps up.
We may not see the real potential of Linaro until next year, but this bodes very well for the future of ARM-based devices such as tablets, netbooks, and smartphones.

The footage is a great symbol for love and romance, weddings and anniversaries. It's useful for shows about nature and travelling, or other video projects dealing with love, the beauty of nature which resurrects during spring, and planning the perfect wedding. There are some bees looking for pollen around the branches, gently swinging in the wind, so this is also useful for documentaries about bees or insects or about our planet's ecosystem.
