Summer may seem a little while away (in the northern hemisphere at least), but we're already starting to think about what we'll wear when the rain clears and the mercury rises. After all, being prepared never hurt anyone, and there's something quite cheering about transporting yourself, if only mentally, to sunnier climes during grim winter days. From brands that are new to MR PORTER this season, among them Massimo Alba and Todd Snyder, to existing labels such as Hentsch Man and Maison Kitsuné, we photographed the young actor Mr Michael Borne in Montauk, New York, wearing some of our favourite pieces for the coming season.

Oakland Raiders (7-4)
Remaining schedule: at Miami; at Green Bay (11-0); vs. Detroit (7-4); at Kansas City (4-7); vs. San Diego (4-7). Their chances: Most football pundits don't include the Raiders in this conversation, but as the AFC West leaders, they at least warrant some consideration. However, with three challenging games in front of them, including a date in two weeks against the currently undefeated Packers at Lambeau Field, Oakland would probably be better served setting more modest goals, such as holding off the hard-charging Denver Broncos for first place in the division. Since quarterback Carson Palmer was acquired from the Bengals and installed as the starter, the Raiders have gone 3-1 while enduring various injuries on the offensive side of the ball. While Palmer has clearly provided the franchise with a jolt, the Raiders will probably need a healthy Darren McFadden to be considered a serious contender. The star running back has missed four consecutive games with a foot injury, and he's reportedly going to be out one to two more weeks.

Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber Collaboration 'Didn't Make Sense' for Pop Star's New Album
Ever since word of a collaboration between Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber made headlines, fans of the two megastars have been anxiously waiting to catch a first listen of what it sounds like when two young icons team up. Unfortunately, the wait will be a bit longer, as the 'Boyfriend' star didn't include the mashup on his latest album, 'Believe.'
According to Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, putting the Bieber-Swift song the new record just "didn't make sense."
"It didn't go on 'Believe' because there's another record they want to work on. So, it just didn't make sense at this time, and the song they did just didn't make sense on this album," Braun told MTV News.
Thankfully, just because the Swift-touched song isn't on Bieber's latest album doesn't mean that it won't see the light of day. With the country star's powerhouse vocals and unmatched songwriting skills — blended with the teen pop heartthrob's high falsetto — it's bound to be radio gold.
Swift wasn't the only star scorned on Bieber's new album. The teenage pop star also did a duet with Kanye West, and it didn't make the cut either. Somehow, we imagine Swift isn't too bummed that her song isn't sitting next to a track by the notoriously interrupting rapper.

Reports on Computer Algebra (ZCA Report)
Year of publication
- 1998 (6) (remove)
Rewriting techniques have been applied successfully to various areas of symbolic computation. Here we consider the notion of prefix-rewriting and give a survey on its applications to the subgroup problem in combinatorial group theory. We will see that for certain classes of finitely presented groups finitely generated subgroups can be described through convergent prefix-rewriting systems, which can be obtained from a presentation of the group considered and a set of generators for the subgroup through a specialized Knuth-Bendix style completion procedure. In many instances a finite presentation for the subgroup considered can be constructed from such a convergent prefix-rewriting system, thus solving the subgroup presentation problem. Finally we will see that the classical procedures for computing Nielsen reduced sets of generators for a finitely generated subgroup of a free group and the Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration can be interpreted as particular instances of prefix-completion. Further, both procedures are closely related to the computation of prefix Gr"obner bases for right ideals in free group rings.
Todd and Coxeter's method for enumerating cosets of finitely generated subgroups in finitely presented groups (abbreviated by Tc here) is one famous method from combinatorial group theory for studying the subgroup problem. Since prefix string rewriting is also an appropriate method to study this problem, prefix string rewriting methods have been compared to Tc. We recall and compare two of them briefly, one by Kuhn and Madlener [4] and one by Sims [15]. A new approach using prefix string rewriting in free groups is derived from the algebraic method presented by Reinert, Mora and Madlener in [14] which directly emulates Tc. It is extended to free monoids and an algebraic characterization for the "cosets" enumerated in this setting is provided.
Monomial representations and operations for Gröbner bases computations are investigated from an implementation point of view. The technique ofvectorized monomial operations is introduced and it is shown how it expedites computations of Gröbner bases. Furthermore, a rank-based monomialrepresentation and comparison technique is examined and it is concluded that this technique does not yield an additional speedup over vectorizedcomparisons. Extensive benchmark tests with the Computer Algebra System SINGULAR are used to evaluate these concepts.
Groups can be studied using methods from different fields such as combinatorial group theory or string rewriting. Recently techniques from Gröbner basis theory for free monoid rings (non-commutative polynomial rings) respectively free group rings have been added to the set of methods due to the fact that monoid and group presentations (in terms of string rewriting systems) can be linked to special polynomials called binomials. In the same mood, the aim of this paper is to discuss the relation between Nielsen reduced sets of generators and the Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration procedure on the one side and the Gröbner basis theory for free group rings on the other. While it is well-known that there is a strong relationship between Buchberger's algorithm and the Knuth-Bendix completion procedure, and there are interpretations of the Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration procedure using the Knuth-Bendix procedure for special cases, our aim is to show how a verbatim interpretation of the Todd-Coxeter procedure can be obtained by linking recent Gröbner techniques like prefix Gröbner bases and the FGLM algorithm as a tool to study the duality of ideals. As a side product our procedure computes Nielsen reduced generating sets for subgroups in finitely generated free groups.

How To Adjust Guitar NeckIt is no big secret that proper care of your guitar will give you a more consistent quality of sound and an extended for the guitar. If you are at all serious about playing guitar you will want to get some accessories and perform regular guitar maintenance that are essential for the care of the guitar. A guitar player is only as good as the sound and the quality of the guitar that they are playing.
Many guitarists do not understand the importance of having a good guitar setup. The truth is, the better your guitar is set up, the easier it is to play... and the more likely you are to play and practice with it, improving your musical talent as a result.
Now, you don't have to pay expensive bills for the services of a guitar tech each time you need your guitar to be setup-ed or maintained. Guitar setup and maintenance can be easily learnt with proper instructions and you can perform them to your guitar yourself, saving you both precious time and money on the long run. Get more information on How To Adjust Guitar Neck here.
Guitar Setup - Truss Rod, Guitar Saddle & Guitar Nut AdjustmentThe following four adjustments can be made to all kinds of guitars to fix them. These adjustments will fix all guitars and make them playable. The adjustments are the amount of relief in the neck using an adjustable truss rod, the string height at the saddle, the string height at the nut and the intonation.
Adjusting Truss Rod - Prevent Guitar Neck Warp, Bow & TwistingHow do you adjust the amount of the neck bow? Every adjustable truss rod shares the same principles of operation. Every truss rod has a threaded nut tightened on a threaded metal rod. The tension in the rod changes the curvature of the neck in which the rod is embedded. To adjust the rod, you need to tighten or loosen the nut on the rod. When tightening the nut, the tension increases the tension in the rod as well the amount which the rod counteracts the pull of the strings. This should reduce the bow in the neck and prevent a twisted guitar neck from occurring.
Adjusting Guitar Saddle - Adjust Guitar Intonation & Guitar Bridge
As far as adjusting the saddle height, you can do this either before or after adjusting the string height at the nut. You should start by measuring the distance from the top of the twelfth fret to the bottom of the sixth string. You should do this when the guitar's strings are at full strength. You should measure laying a 6-inch ruler, on edge, adjacent to and parallel to the string.
Another thing that you might have to fix is the string height. You can start by using elementary geometry. You will find that the change in the string height at the twelfth fret needs to be about twice of the change at the saddle. If a string height at the twelfth fret is 4/32"" and the desired measurement is 3/32"", the change in height will have to be lowered by 1/32"" at the twelfth fret is about 2/32"". After taking measurements, you should calculate the amount that each string needs to be lowered at the saddle. You should make adjustments the saddle must project at least 1/16"" from the top of the bridge. This should make sure that the strings exert a sufficient downward force on the saddle to stop the strings from vibrating side-to-side on the top surface of the saddle. If you cannot maintain this 1/16"" projection, it will be necessary to reset or shave the bridge. This should be done by a professional repairer or a skilled amateur. The last adjustment that you should make is to the string height at the nut.
Adjusting Guitar Nut - Adjust Guitar Action & Adjust String HeightThe required tools are a short straight edge (ruler), a standard set of feeler gages, a set of calibrated nut files, an X-acto saw and a tear-drop needle file. You should start by measuring the height of the first fret. You measure the first fret by placing a straight edge on the top of the first two frets so it straddles on the first and second frets. The slide feeler gages should be place between the fingerboard and the straight edge until the gages fill in the space between the fingerboard and the straight edge. When it doesn't fit the required measurement for a string height at the nut, you should adjust it.

Guitar Maintenance And Care Tips
Guitar Maintenance Tip #1: Oil Your Guitar Parts - Take time to oil your guitar's tuning machine. This is especially true if your guitar uses the open tuning machine. Anything made of metal that has moving parts does better with oiling. Just make sure you drop only a little once in a while. This is not one of those tasks you should undertake on a daily basis.
Guitar Maintenance Tip #2: Guitar Neck - Remove All Hard Objects When Playing Guitar - It seems an obvious thing to say, but I have seen so many people make this mistake! Obviously, rings and bracelets could do this, but I have seen many people scratch or damage their instruments through simple things like belt buckles or the buttons on their jeans! Before you begin to play, make sure you remove all jewellery and other accoutrements that might scratch your instrument.
Guitar Maintenance Tip #3: Cleaning the Guitar Frets - Safeguarding your guitar can depend on the type of guitar you have, acoustic or electric, but there are basics that should be followed for both. For instance, you should give attention to the frets of your instrument. The body produces natural oils that can build up in the strings, not to mention dirt and other outside filth and this can make a difference in the sound that comes from your guitar if you don't pay close attention.
Guitar Maintenance Tip #4: Care For Guitar Bodies - Regularly polish your guitar with professional polish but avoid paste waxes. They build up and can muffle the sound. Use only natural oil polishes and buff with a soft cloth. Wipe the strings clean after playing because it can extend their life.

TOKYO, May 18 (UPI) -- Emergency vents failed to prevent hydrogen explosions at Japan's Fukushima reactors and put the safety of U.S. nuclear plants in question, experts warn.
Documents released by the Tokyo Electric Power Co. this week show the panic that struck the utility when the March 11 earthquake and tsunami hit, The New York Times reports.
The venting system, built by General Electric, used the same power source as the rest of the plant, backup generators in basements that were vulnerable to tsunamis. The earthquake also may have damaged the valves, Tepco said.
When the vents failed at Fukushima, the hydrogen gas fueled explosions that spewed radioactive materials into the atmosphere.
U.S. officials had said American reactors would be spare such disasters by new and stronger venting systems. But Tepco now says Fukushima installed the same vents years ago, the Times reported.
"Japan is going to teach us lessons," said David Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "If we're in a situation where we can't vent where we need to, we need to fix that."

Freezing Temperatures Grip South Korea Ahead Of Olympic Opening Ceremony
Freezing temperatures are greeting Olympic athletes and spectators as they arrive in Pyeongchang, South Korea for the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Cold weather and high winds are creating potentially dangerous conditions for attendees. The wind chill could get as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit during the opening ceremonies on Friday evening.
35,000 people are expected to brave the cold weather to watch the opening ceremonies at the open-air PyeongChang Olympic Stadium on Friday night. Dr. Dave Weinstein, a physician with Team USA, told NBC News that at those temperatures hypothermia can set in within 45 minutes.
Olympic officials are prepared for the cold and said that volunteers will be handing out blankets, heating pads, and a raincoat to all attendees. They have also installed heat lamps and wind shields throughout the stadium to help mitigate the cold. The forecast does not call for rain, but there could be snow flurries in the area.
The opening ceremonies start on Friday, February 9 at 6 am ET and will be broadcast live on NBC. They will also be streamed live and on-demand at NBCOlympics.com.

In Utah, women are natural and effective leaders. Utah women are creative entrepreneurs who start and grow successful businesses; they are seasoned executives who help their organizations exceed goals and achieve greater success; and they are a driving force that propels nonprofit and government organizations to more efficiently and effectively carry out their missions.
In Utah, 66,300 women-owned businesses contribute $11.4 billion to the state's economy each year, according to the latest American Express OPEN State of Women-Owned Businesses Report. Furthermore, a greater percentage of Utah women participate in the workforce than the national average.
Women and business go hand-in-hand in the Beehive State. And nothing makes that clearer than our annual 30 Women to Watch program, which shines the spotlight on women who are exceptional leaders, entrepreneurs, change-makers, mentors—and shining examples to the men and women who work in their industries.
Please join us in celebrating this year's 30 Women to Watch.

2013 honda insight Model Overview
Vehicle Overview
The compact Honda Insight is one of two dedicated hybrid models from the Japanese automaker. The four-door hatchback's 1.3-liter I-4 engine and electric motor produce a combined 98 hp, which is routed to the front wheels through a CVT. That drivetrain along with the Insight's slippery, Prius-like shape helps the car achieve an EPA-rated 41/44 mpg city/highway.
The Insight is among the cheapest hybrids you can buy, and its price advantage helped it eke out a win against the hybrid king Toyota Prius in a 2009 comparison test. Although it was the victor in that match, the Insight didn't impress reviewers with its rough, noisy ride, sloppy steering, and cramped rear seat. The car was refreshed for 2012, and received revised mpg numbers, upgraded interior and seats, and a slight increase in rear head room. Despite those changes, the refreshed Insight failed to impress us: "We appreciate the refreshed Insight's low price, but the hybrid hatchback presents too many compromises for daily driving. The car strikes us as a has-been actor left competing with fresh-faced actors who can do the job better."
The 2013 Honda Insight comes standard with automatic climate control, power windows, a 60/40 split folding rear seat, and a two-speaker CD audio system with auxiliary input (higher-trim models get four- or six-speaker systems). The Insight earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and was awarded a four-star rollover rating by NHTSA.
New for 2013
The Honda Insight carries over from last year, when the hybrid received a refresh including an updated interior, tweaked front and rear fascias, and improved mpg numbers.

OpenDNSJuly 28, 2008
I'm wading deep into unfamiliar water here, so take my assessment with a grain of salt because I'm not sure I'm describing it totally accurately. But this strikes me as a Big Deal that needs to be disseminated as far and wide as possible, and quickly.
This weekend a relatively recent DNS flaw finally crossed my radar. Knowledge of the problem has been public for a few weeks, but the threat escalated over the past few days as proof of concept exploits have started showing up and reports of actual attacks have filtered in. This a flaw in the Domain Name System, a fundamental piece of the internet's infrastructure, that allows an attacker to redirect your internet connection. It has been described one of the most significant internet security problems in the past decade.
For example, you might type
gmail.com into your browser's address bar, and instead of reaching Google's servers, the attacker would be able to serve whatever he or she wishes. They may give you a harmless spam site, but it would be just as easy for the attacker to clone GMail and make it look authentic. As soon as you attempt to log in, the attacker has your username and password, and your account is, as they say, pwned. (It occurs to me they may not be able to replicate the security certificate so there might be warning signs, but given that most people will assume they've correctly reached the legitimate GMail those will likely be overlooked.)
It could be GMail, it could be your bank, it could be every single web site you visit. With this flaw in an unpatched state, you essentially cannot trust domain names.
The good news is that vendors of server software have already (for the most part) released patches that fix this security hole. This is a problem that service providers should be addressing, not necessarily end users like you or me.
But the bad news is that your particular DNS server may or may not have applied the patch. Go to DoxPara Research and hit the "Check My DNS" button to see if your computer is vulnerable. Mine was.
In that case, what you can do to immediately protect yourself is stop using your service provider's DNS and switch over to OpenDNS, a free ad-run alternative that stays up to date with their patches. I've pointed my computers and my routers at the service, and aside from the peace of mind, I'm tempted to say DNS resolution feels a bit faster too. Your mileage may vary, as speed is very geography-specific and I happen to be near one of their datacenters.
But wait, there's more. Further bad news for anyone using Apple products: no patch exists yet, the theory being that the recent tumultuous iPhone 3G and MobileMe product launches have been too distracting. Whatever the reason, if you use Apple operating systems, even with OpenDNS you are still vulnerable until a patch is available. OS X Servers are more likely targets for potential attacks, but even desktop computers are not totally safe.
So, um, cross your fingers?
(If I've missed nuances about the situation or mischaracterized anything, please feel free to add additional information in the comments.)
If your ISP hasn't patched their DNS servers, I'd venture OpenDNS isn't going to help any. Simply because if they are so lax that they haven't fixed this problem, there's likely a chronic security issue. I wouldn't trust anything.
I'd then consider a new DNS provider.
I'm not really fond of them redirecting Google requests either… IMHO that's a slippery slope. As a result I never switched.
Thanks for writing about OpenDNS and the DNS vulnerability. Just a quick note – we were actually never vulnerable, not just up to date on patches.
We aren't running your run of the mill DNS server (hence all the features we're able to offer) and many of the security practices we follow made us immune to this specific attack.
Thanks and happy surfing,
David Ulevitch (OpenDNS)
Robert – Just a quick note regarding the Google proxy.
1) We peer with them at all sites, so there's no latency increase.
2) We (like everything) let you turn it off in your account, and make it crystal clear.
We find that it solves a major support headache, with little negative impact. We don't store the logs or use them for anything either, naturally. It just makes our service work dramatically better for our users, while giving them the best of both worlds – opendns and google.
OpenDNS does make a good solution for the short term though. If you don't have an email account or website through your ISP I can't really see much more there is to worry about other than their DNS server software
Dave, if you are using a Mac behind your home router pointed to one of OpenDNS's servers you are "protected". If you are using a Mac and Mac Servers as your DNS, then you have issues. Of course the workaround there is to point the Mac servers to OpenDNS. Just thought you would like to know.
Thanks for this post, Dave ;)
Though I have to admit I don't quite understand it all - I will definitely look into it and be more aware.
Thanks :)
@Brandon Moser - "if you are using a Mac behind your home router pointed to one of OpenDNS's servers you are protected"
This article suggests to me that the DNS server is one half of the equation, but even with a patched server, Macs may still be vulnerable:
The key line being "individual computers that look up DNS are vulnerable". ie. the server is the biggest problem, but there's also a basic client-side software component that needs addressing.
"Although the desktop version of Mac OS X is also technically vulnerable, current attacks are directed at servers, so there's no need to panic."
Your desktop machine really should NOT be serving up DNS at all, and as such, I can't see how desktop machines could even be vulnerable. They are "technically" vulnerable because you COULD be serving DNS locally, although it would only be done by people that purposefully have set up a DNS server on their desktop machine. You have not done this, so your desktop machine isn't vulnerable to this, except for when it's querying a vulnerable DNS server.
Yes, your desktop machine does store a cache of domain name lookups, but those only come from your DNS server in the first place. If you do replace your DNS server with a trusted one, you should be fine.
So, how much coin did you receive from OpenDNS to write up this little scare piece to promote their service?
What, are you kidding? You didn't click through the links in the post that clearly verify the widespread discussion on multiple sites about this issue before making your baseless accusation?
I'd never heard of OpenDNS before yesterday. I haven't received a cent of theirs or anyone else's money to write this.
Colin is being funded by some company called "Working on it!" But, ironically, it's not working.
Anyway, I've heard about OpenDNS for a while now, but have never fully understood what it does or what the benefits are, so maybe I'll just have to give it a shot.
Hi Dave,
I want to thank you for this post. I've been following the issue as I'm currently an info sec professional, and it was reassuring to see one of the non-info sec blogs, possibly with wider audience than all the other sec blogs I read, post about this issue.
It was also interesting to see your process followed the same that I used, I am now using OpenDNS temporarily too.
Fair enough, Dave S. You proved me wrong.
I've just heard of these things going on, and the fact that I've seen this same thing about OpenDNS popping up everywhere, well, kinda reinforced the possibility.
My mistake. Meant no harm.
Thanks for the heads up!
I wonder if OpenDNS would work for higher latency connections, too. Any experiencies?
I've been watching this story quietly, but we got the company wide notice to patch all necessary DNS holes at the end of last week. However, this little tool will be my true test. Thanks a lot for the link.
An attacker wouldn't need to worry about gmail's certificate at all. If you type gmail.com into your browser, that that starts a plain old HTTP request which doesn't require a certificate.
Google itself may forward you onto a secure site, but an attacker doesn't need to. They can just present you with a replica of the page. Once you type in your username and password, it's game over.
This so called "DNS Bug" isn't really a new thing. It was discovered back in 1990 but was kept a secret until 1995 while developing a new Domain Name System. Since the spread of the old system was so wide, it became more of an extension instead, known as DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions).
Even if the DNSSEC is more or less finished the deployment is going slow because it has to be made in the root of the top-levels (.com, .net etc)
Sweden (.se), where I'm from was the first country to deploy it and I think there are a few other countries aswell that has.
However you (every each domain-name owner) must activate it yourself on a web host that support/has it installed.
More info:
As I read the news, it's not the apple end-user devices that are still vulnerable but it's the DNS providers using an apple OS to run their DNS. And I think that's more dangerous because normally you never know what your ISP's using.
But on the other hand, I've read that SSL Certificates are not in trouble. So if you read you're browser's warning boxes about certificates carefully you may get along without harm.
But anyway it's a big thing and I think there are some more problems ahead - now that the Internet has reached everydays live…
@David Ulevitch: Cool to see you actually reply.
It seems if you disable this feature, you also disable "Block Categories", one of the biggest selling points of OpenDNS. Once you disable that feature (which I admit is a great one that I miss out on)… what's the point?
I actually switched to OpenDNS a week ago after my ISP (who may or may not be named Rogers) implemented their own DNS hijacks. It's cool to read that someone I respect and read regularly has made the same decision (albeit for a different reason).
Good to hear that OpenDNS blocks these attacks. I've been using OpenDNS for a while now. What got me using it was the URL auto-correction, but it has also always seemed a bit faster. I've never exactly liked using ISP DNS servers as they tend to jack with things and can be quite pokey at times. For a long time I was mooching off a University DNS server I'd memorized from a long time back.
Here a little more info:
Securityfocus.com actually published a very good series of articles in relation to this. They may be operated by Symantec, but they manage to put out some good information - including an article by the architect of the collaboration and patch (Dan Kaminsky).
(This is Dan's original article about the issue - from his website)
(talks about the collaboration)
(talks about the initial patching fallout)
(talks abotu Apple's DNS flaw issues)
(no, I don't work for Symantec - I just find this site a one of many great sources of information on the security side of things)
Great - thanks for pointing this out. Done.
What was amazing about this issue was that BIND (the most popular DNS server was still vulnerable, and a lot of BIND clones like Microsoft are also vulnerable), given that this problem was pointed out by Dan Bernstein as part of his 1997 personal battle to improve internet security. He started by writing a secure email server, and then a DNS server in 1999.
The specific issue that has just been exploited was reported to bind on 29 July 2001, after they had made a half hearted attempt at a patch.
From the CERT Advisory: "Daniel J. Bernstein is credited with the original idea and implementation of randomized source ports in the DNS resolver."
We use his DNS software since it is much faster, easier to automate and has never had a security exploit. Not surprisingly was protected against this exploit by design. It also is guaranteed not to have security exploit. (With an explicit exclusion of the problems caused by the current protocol)
See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/guarantee.html
There are now plenty of alternatives to using BIND, and it is amazing the number of ISP's that still use it.
Their will be more attacks see the ICANN discussion.
Since as previously discussed DNS needs a new architecture and DNSSEC is a flawed solution.
Holy Schneikes, I read 'net news almost daily and I had no idea. This is quite alarming! Is there anything that site owners can do (or encourage our webhosts to do)?
Earlier this year I believe I was a victim of this hack, although no one could give me a straight answer. I live in Florida and use AT&T (formerly BellSouth) DSL at home. I'm a designer and I noticed some slight differences or flaws in a couple of sites I was logging into but it was already too late and my password had been captured.
One day I did a lookup of my IP address and it did not resolve to Bellsouth. I turned my router off for a few minutes, turned it back on and then I had a different IP address that did resolve to Bellsouth. I'm not entirely sure this was the same hack but I thought it was worth mentioning.
One thing to be aware of if you do use OpenDNS is that users mistyping domains are sent to a helpful "OpenDNS guide portal" with adverts.
The US ISP Roadrunner ( http://www.fka200.com/2008/02/22/road-runner-now-hijacking-not-found-mistyped-websites/ ) and Verisign ( http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/16/0034210 ) have received flack for redirecting mistypes to pages that include adverts in the past.
The article looks to me as if only Mac users running the DNS server distributed by Apple (an unpatched version of BIND) are vulnerable. There is nothing that indicates that DNS client software that an ordinary Mac user would use prevents users from protecting themselves.
I first heard about OpenDNS when I heard about drive by pharming (cross site request forgery used to change configuration of routers from within the LAN). I changed my PowerBook to use OpenDNS so I didn't have to rely on the router configuration to provide a good DNS server. I also changed my home router to use OpenDNS to take advantage of OpenDNS's features. Unfortunately in Leopard I can't configure my Mac to use only the manually configured DNS servers while getting other IP configuration information via DHCP. So if you use your Mac on a network you don't control it is possible that it will use an vulnerable DNS server. Fortunately for me I rarely use my Mac on any network other than my home and the network at school both of which are safe.
The reason OpenDNS can get away with redirecting to a guide page with adverts is that users generally opt in to use OpenDNS and have the ability to choose to enable or disable any of the features (however, network administrators can choose OpenDNS and its configuration without end user choice).
The first idea is - very usefull: Open DNS should protect against phishing and typos
but slower response time of the DNS server.

take a warm bath. make some tea. stare at the mountains some more. sleep. and tomorrow--things will look different---and not because they've changed. but because you have.
the unknown is both the greatest scare--and the greatest thrill of life. tip your hat to the fear. acknowledge him. don't deny him. but leave him at home. and go running through those mountain valley's with the thrill.

hi there. stranger here.
i'm so excited for you! ...teetering on the brink of the unknown. there's something to be said for stability, but how i miss the thrill of change and newness!
i moved to utah and felt like sabrina when i left... it's nowhere near as glamorous as Paris, but i fell in love and grew into myself where you are... and have such fantastic memories.
obviously, enjoy the mountains. and go to sundance. and all the music festivals. and when you go to cafe rio, don't be intimidated.
order a salad:
you tell them:
chicken, pork, or veggie.
(veg is my pref)
black beans.
shredded lettuce.
creamy tomatillo dressing.
you'll eat till you're busting it's so good.
i'm so excited for you!

I just got back to Utah for the summer too!
And I echo everyone's CAFE RIO sentiments. But I personally love the vinaigrette dressing on the pork salad, versus the creamy ranch-y green one. But you can't go wrong.
SO delish.
Enjoy. The mountains are spectacular, they definitely grew on me a lot.

(assuming you live in Salt Lake...)
for a+ sushi, go to Shogun on South Main Street in SLC.
for amazing (free!!) musical entertainment, look into the twilight series concerts at Pioneer Park (starting in early July.)
for great mexican, of course, find a cafe rio - any location.
for people-watching and thinking time, ride TRAX (not quite the subway, but close enough.)
and for anything else, a good old fashioned foot tour around the city is therapeutic enough for me.
i really hope you find what you're looking for - or at the very least, happiness in all of this.

you're going to make so many friends just from the blog world alone. some of my favorite people in the entire world live in utah and i would love for you meet them if you'd like. some of them even have horses and will take you riding in the mountains if you get a day off. one of them is from texas and feels just as far away from home if you do. tell me if you run out of friends and i will send more your way! best of luck! it sounds like we'll be getting back to texas and then to new york around the same time. how crazy!

Hi Meg,
I think new things have to be scary otherwise we wouldn't appreciate them when they turn out to be fantastic opportunities. Which this will be. Before you know it, that feeling you had when sitting on the plane will be a distant memory. But it's also absolutely fine to feel like that, so don't worry! Remember that it's early days, and that things will definitely get better.

Welcome to Utah!
I moved "home" after living in Idaho for 15 years. The mountains are awesome!! They are probably what I missed most while I was away.
I love LOVE L.O.V.E Ice cream!!
If you need someone to go get Ice cream with - please let me know!!
And definitely give Red Iguana a try. They have the BEST Mexican food in my opinion.

Found you off of Naomi's blog -- found Naomi because a number of my old high school chums think her blog is fantastic -- in essence have no real connection, BUT I do know provo, which is where your play is running, so you will be there at some point.
Explore downtown provo, the houses are absolutely adorable and quaint. BYU has an art museum you can explore for free (the MOA) and though I am not a fan many others give rave reviews to Los Hermanos which is right in the middle of downtown Provo.
Also, it's Utah, and if you are anywhere near provo, you will soon find a. if you are not mormon but don't mind hanging out with them you can find a lot of very sweet friends very fast (mention loving ultimate frisbee and you will pretty much have a hundred new life long friends) and b. the mountains will absolutely make everyday that much better.
I am sorry about this crazy long comment. I hope you have fun in my home state, and if you like soft serve head over to the Macy's deli in provo and order the King Kong Cone from the Deli.
I doubt you will be lonely for long hon, and if you ever get lost just remember -- the mountains mark East. :)

Welcome to UT. While I'll always feel at home in my home state of CA, I've come to really love living in UT. The mountains are beautiful, there are lots of fun things to do, and the people (for the most part) are genuinely kind.
I know you think you're ruled by fear but I think you're incredibly brave and inspiring.
Enjoy your time here.

Hi. I recently stumbled upon your blog and I like reading what you have to say. I just wanted to say hi.
It sounds beautiful there. (Adds Utah to places to visit). I was in a situation similar to yours a couple of months back, except it was only for a week and I had three roommates, who were practically strangers. I guess the only similarity were the mountains. They were so big and comforting, I actually cried. ^-^'

ok...I'm commenting again. Since it sounds like you are in Provo?? Make SURE you don't miss some of the AMAZING Freedom Festival fun! My personal favorite is the balloons....bright and early, Fri, Sat and Mon. Fox Field (approx 200 West and 1230 North) show up around 6:00 am and you can wander the field and watch them fill up the hot air balloons....SO, SO, SO fun. Grab breakfast after at Kneaders on 1230 North - the French Toast is GREAT! And really? The Stadium of Fire can be really fun....even if you don't like the headliner.
All in all? I'm just cheering for you and hoping you come to love our little valley. You know, the locals call it "happy valley" for a reason!

Rkim necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 195 diseños de 50 diseñadores freelance.
MiCorp (either MiCorp New England or MiCorp Dealer Services)
We sell installation services to new car dealerships, with our expert technicians adding features to a new or used car being sold. The options which we install include electronics products, such as remote starters, bluetooth, backup cameras and video, and trim products such as leather, seat heaters, moonroofs. We must satisfy both the car buyer consumer AND the dealership employee with a combination of technical expertise, speed of installation, customer service and quality products that make driving more fun/safe/comfortable. We also sell our services to businesses or municipalities that own a fleet of commercial vehicles (potentially branded MiCorp Fleet Services).
We are looking for an engaging logo (including a font for our name), for use in our website, t-shirts/apparel, invoices and potentially some signage.
Desired Messages/Feelings: technical expertise, fast service, premium quality products, customer service, happy customers, reliability, competence, technology, luxury, comfort, safety, experienced, talented, brilliant cars, attractive cars, radiant cars, striking cars
Target Audience: Our two target audiences are somewhat different from one another: 1) College educated, upper-income car owner (typically a professional 30-55 years old with kids/family) who likes technology, music and finer things. He/she is looking for someone trustworthy and knowledgable to upgrade their vehicle with fun options, but doesn't know where to turn. 2) Car dealership staff (salespeople and managers), who are often pressed for time and very focused on the bottom line. They are typically male, and are under pressure to sell more cars and maximize the profit per car sold. They are often not very tech-savvy or sophisticated (e.g. "car guys").
Our logo and brand needs to appeal to both the car buyer and the dealership staff, as we are viewed as an extension of the dealership. Ultimately, we are in business to satisfy the dealer's customers.
Key Attributes of our logo:
• More horizontal than vertical
• Clean and easy to reproduce in black & white and color
• Images such as cars and electronics can be considered, though if used, we envision them being used subtly or abstractly, not linked to any specific car model that will quickly be outdated
• Clean, simple and sophisticated design
• We would like the "MiCorp Dealer Services" or "Micorp New England" tagline to look like it belongs with the logo, and we'd like the option of using the logo with and without any words (just the logo, not even MiCorp). Another potential iteration might be logo plus just MiCorp (no Dealer Services)
• We are open to various colors
• The logo will be used electronically and in print
See attached word document for image examples

PORTLAND, Ore. - A pair of goals, including a penalty kick, by forward Alex Afonso led the Miami FC Blues to a 2-0 win over the Portland Timbers Monday afternoon at PGE Park. The physical contest saw forward Takayuki Suzuki ejected in the 45 minute forcing the Timbers to play a man down for the second half.
Monday's match marked the first time since the end of the 2006 season that the Timbers (3-2-4, 13pts) have lost consecutive matches, and the third straight match they've been held without a goal. Miami (2-6-2, 7pts) snaps a six-game winless streak with their second win in three matches at PGE Park.
The match turned extremely physical just before halftime, and Miami FC was awarded a penalty kick as midfielder Shaun Higgins was called for a foul while challenging Blues midfielder Sean Fraser inside the box. Referee Tyler Ploger wasted little time issuing a penalty kick opportunity, and Afonso converted the attempt in the 43rd minute for a 1-0 advantage.
Following the penalty kick goal by Miami FC, Suzuki and Blues midfielder Eric Vasquez were both issued yellow cards after an altercation at the midfield circle. A minute later, Suzuki was issued his second caution of match on a challenge near the sideline forcing the home side to play a man down for the final 45 minutes of the match.
Afonso gave the Blues a 2-0 lead in the 68th minute on a pass from Vasquez near the top of the box. After two touches down the top of the area, Afonso blasted a low drive inside the right post just past the out-stretched fingers of Timbers goalkeeper Ray Burse.
The Timbers had their chances throughout the match. In the first half, midfielder Andrew Gregor delivered two pin-point passes into the box for forward Chris Brown, but his attempts went wide or stopped by Miami FC goalkeeper Josh Saunders.
Midfielder Miguel Guante had an opportunity to put the Timbers up early in the first half. A loose ball trickled around the box before it landed at the feet of Guante. He turned and fired but Saunders snuffed the shot as he dropped to his knees for one his four saves on the day.
New Timbers forward Benjamin Totori made his debut against Miami FC on Monday entering the game at the start of the second half adding life to a 10-man Timbers side. In the 60th minute, Totori unleashed one of his three shots on the day from the top of the box. He was able to turn his defender to create space for a one-on-one attempt with Saunders. As Totori took the shot, Saunders charged to the penalty spot and knocked down the Solomon Islander's shot at the right post.
Late in the match, Higgins and Burse thwarted a three-on-two attempt by Miami looking to take a three-goal lead in the 83rd minute. Higgins forced a Miami player to play the ball inside to Juan Pablo Galavis running at the left post. Burse left his line to challenge Galavis and was able to get a piece of the ball to knock it out of play.
In the 38th minute, Timbers head coach Gavin Wilkinson was sent off by Ploeger following a display of frustration on the sidelines. Assistant coach Rod Underwood assumed command of the Timbers' sidelines for the remainder of the match. Both Suzuki and Wilkinson will serve a one-game, league-imposed suspension in Montreal for their ejections on Monday.
The Timbers embark on a two-game road trip this weekend as they face the Montreal Impact on Friday at 4:30 p.m. (Pacific) live on Fox Soccer Channel and the Rochester Rhinos on June 1 at 3 p.m. (Pacific). Both matches can be heard live on www.portlandtimbers.com; with a live video webcast available through USL Live at www.usllive.com/portland.
Notes: Monday marked the first time the Timbers had allowed two goals at home since May 11, 2007, in a 2-2 draw against the Seattle Sounders – a span of 14 matches ... Midfielder Tom Poltl made his first start Monday since May 10 ... Miami FC's roster included two former Timbers in Saunders and Sam Reynolds.

John Lennon's 1971 song "Imagine" encouraged a generation to imagine there is no heaven or hell, and to instead embrace "living for today." Over 40 years later, many evangelicals are following Lennon's advice.
It's commonly said that the gospel is not really about the afterlife. The gospel answers much bigger questions than a person's eternal state. It's about life today—not so much about tomorrow.
And slowly but surely, we have begun to let the promise of divine judgment that appears in the Apostles' Creed—"He will come again to judge the living and the dead"—slip by unnoticed. Many Christians talk a lot about justice and very little about judgment. Justice here and now is a popular subject. Judgment there and then? Not so much.
But justice and judgment are two sides of the same coin. You cannot have perfect justice without judgment. God cannot make things right without declaring certain things wrong. It's the judgment of God that leads to a perfectly just world. Try to take one without the other, and you lose the Good News.
Downplaying Judgment
Why do we feel pressure to downplay the notion of judgment in the first place? What bothers us about this section of the Apostles' Creed?
Maybe we're embarrassed by the idea of eternal hell, and we think that if we remove the obstacle and offense of eternal judgment, we will be able to make Christianity more palatable to a society that has no room for judgment in its understanding of God. Unfortunately, when we downplay or deny judgment, we lose one of the reasons to share our faith in the first place. Our desire to remove the obstacle actually removes the urgency.
Or maybe our neglecting ...1

Suhail Patel explains how Monzo prepared for the recent crowdfunding (run entirely through its app, using the very same platform that runs the bank) which saw more than 9,000 people investing in the first five minutes. He covers Monzo's microservice architecture (on Go and Kubernetes) and how they profiled and optimized key platform components such as Cassandra and Linkerd.
A service mesh is only meant to be used as infrastructure for communication between services, and developers should not be building any business logic inside the service mesh. Other frameworks and libraries can be used to implement cloud native enterprise application integration patterns.
This article shares the practical experience of building a QA ranker module on Azure's customer support platform using Intel Analytics Zoo by Microsoft Azure China team. You can quickly learn step by step how to prepare data to train, evaluate and tune a text matching model at scale and finally productionize it as a service using Analytics Zoo.
In this Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Michael Bolton about the current and future state of testing.
Service mesh architectures enable a control and observability loop. At the moment, service mesh implementations vary in regard to API and technology, and this shows no signs of slowing down.

Dr. Matthew Silva, Director of the New Mexico Environmental Evaluation Group (EEG) is a participant in the 27th biennial Material Research Society Conference on the Scientific Basis for Nuclear Waste Management, June 15-19 in Kalmar, Sweden. At the invitation of the Swedish sponsors, Dr. Silva gave a presentation entitled, "Public Oversight of the WIPP Repository, USA," in the opening plenary session. His presentation is particularly relevant to several nations interested in how the oversight provided by EEG was, and remains, an important aspect of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) ability to effectively assure local populations and officials of the safe siting and operation of a nuclear waste disposal facility such as the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). Dr. Silva served on the conference planning committee and will chair the technical session on geologic characterization and modeling. Dr. Silva has also been invited to brief officials of the Municipality of Oskarsham, Sweden, a community near a contemplated nuclear waste disposal facility, on the working details of the Environmental Evaluation Group.
The EEG was established in 1978 with funds provided by DOE to the State of New Mexico to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the WIPP Project to ensure the protection of the public health and safety and the environment of the State of New Mexico. The EEG was assigned to New Mexico Tech in 1989 by Public Law 100-456. The WIPP Project, located in southeastern New Mexico, became operational in March 1999 for the disposal of transuranic (TRU) radioactive wastes generated by the nation's defense programs.

Three years ago next month, the football-following world became acquainted with the name Sal Alosi.
The former Jets strength coach, Alosi aligned a phalanx of inactive players on the border of the sideline during punt plays by the opposing team to disrupt the "gunners" charged with trying to get to the kicked ball.
It blew up for Alosi when he tripped Dolphins gunner Nolan Carroll. The Jets were fined $100,000, and Alosi "resigned" after the season — possibly with a severance agreement that prevented Alosi from ever saying that coach Rex Ryan knew about the practice. (Ryan denied any knowledge of Alosi's shenanigans.)
Fast forward to last night. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wasn't on the border of the sideline during the long kickoff return by Jacoby Jones. He was deep into the white stripe, with one foot in the field of play as Jones approached. When Tomlin finally noticed Jones, Tomlin reaction was to flinch in Jones' direction before getting out of the way.
The move forced Jones to move inside, and he was caught from behind by Cortez Allen.
There was no contact with Jones, and Allen quite possibly would have caught Jones anyway. But it's a bad look for a head coach to actually have a foot on the field at a moment when the action is moving toward him.
Tomlin seemed credible in his post-game press conference, explaining that he simply "lost my placement" and accepting responsibility for the gaffe. Still, under that reasoning Tomlin could have wandered to the middle of the field.
It's honorable that Tomlin took responsibility, but what else could he have said? It wasn't my fault?
The next question becomes whether the league will do anything about it. If executive V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson lets it go, cries will arise of favoritism to the Rooneys. If Anderson smacks Tomlin, cries will arise that it was an overreaction, and that the Steelers once again are being persecuted by a fine-happy league office.
Regardless, the NFL needs to make it clear to all coaches that, whether intentional or not, no one should ever be in position to even possibly affect the play on the field. Even without making contact, Tomlin came close enough to Jones that the penalty imposed against the Steelers and/or their coach will ensure that every coach: (1) knows where he is; (2) knows where the ball is; and (3) stays the hell away.

Car Review
2013 Nissan Rogue: New Car Review
Pros: Decent fuel economy; all-wheel drive option.
Cons: Cheap interior; unusual acceleration curve.
What's New: Premium Edition replaces Premium Package; Special Edition gets Bluetooth handsfree and 6-speaker audio.
Nissan's entry in the compact-SUV market, the Rogue, first appeared in 2007 as a 2008 model. Based on the same platform as the Nissan Sentra compact sedan, the Rogue is a true crossover.
A styling update in 2011 freshened up the Rogue's exterior design, and the 2013 Nissan Rogue keeps the look, arriving mostly unchanged. Also carrying over from the previous model year are the standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and CVT automatic transmission, plus a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Updates to a pair of options packages are the only changes for the latest model.
The Rogue is available in two trim levels: S or SV. Starting at $22,310, Rogue S models can be optioned with the $1,200 Special Edition package that includes aluminum wheels, a backup camera, display audio, satellite radio and Bluetooth. A pair of options packages is available on the Rogue SV, which starts at $24,750. The $1,700 Premium Edition package includes touches like navigation, a moonroof, automatic climate control and Bose audio. The $3,900 SL package loads the Rogue up with leather, heated front seats, 18-inch aluminum wheels and Nissan's Around View monitor system.
Comfort and Utility
Seating for front passengers in the Rogue is roomy and comfortable. For a compact SUV, the Rogue offers plentiful front head- and legroom. In the back, headroom is just as ample, but legroom suffers because of the Rogue's compact stature. The rear seats fold in a 60/40 split, yielding 57.9 cu-ft of storage space.
The Rogue's interior refinement is far below that of its competitors. Although the seats are plush, comfortable and available with leather trim, there's a low-rent look and feel to the interior materials. The level of sturdiness and aesthetic appeal inside of the Rogue is no match for the well-executed cabins found in competitors like the Ford Escape or Honda CR-V.
On the other hand, the Rogue's interior offers excellent utility, with numerous large and convenient storage features: an oversized glove compartment, a large center console and a washable, removable tray that fits below the cargo area floor to hold wet or dirty gear and tools. The Rogue also offers several cupholders, a coin holder and a cell phone and sunglasses holder.
The Rogue's optional information and entertainment screen is only 4.3 inches wide and has rather low resolution. Customers can upgrade to a 5.0-in satellite navigation display (including real-time traffic information), but it isn't much more visually appealing. Aside from that disappointing feature, the Rogue has some delightful technical options, including automatic air conditioning, rear-view camera, keyless ignition, Bluetooth connectivity, XM satellite radio and steering-wheel-mounted controls.
Standard on the Rogue, Nissan includes a drive computer that displays distance to empty, average fuel consumption, average speed and elapsed time and outside temperature in the center of the instrument cluster.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The Rogue's only available engine, a 2.5-liter inline-4, produces 170 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. Mated to it is Nissan's Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT tailors its shift characteristics based on driver input and operation and on road conditions. Nissan includes a performance-improving Sport button that lets the CVT hold higher engine speeds before shifting.
The EPA rates the front-wheel drive Rogue at 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel-drive model gets 22/26 mpg.
Every Rogue is built on Nissan's C platform. Thanks to extensive use of high-strength steel, it provides excellent body stiffness and also helps reduce body weight. Safety is bolstered by dual front airbags, front-seat-mounted side impact supplemental airbags and roof-mounted curtain side impact supplemental airbags with rollover sensors.
Driving Impressions
Many automakers have been phasing out conventional automatic transmissions, replacing them with CVTs. Some CVTs, like the one in the 2013 Nissan Rogue, work better than others, offering driving and shifting characteristics that are above average. Others, like the CVT in the new Ford Focus, essentially ruin the driving experience. The transmission in the Rogue feels quite smooth, and although it's a bit slow off the line, the Rogue feels lively as it accelerates past 20 mph.
In spite of the Rogue's subpar, outdated interior, it is a comfortable vehicle. The seats are nicely cushioned and supportive, outward visibility is adequate and Bluetooth connectivity for mobile phones is easily set up and activated.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Escape: The completely redesigned 2013 Escape is priced very closely to the Rogue, and it even uses a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder just like the Nissan. But the Escape is more economical with the base engine, rated at 31 mpg highway. And for those who want more power, the Escape is available with a choice of optional engines, including a 240-hp turbocharged motor.
Mazda CX-5: Starting at $20,995 for the base front-wheel-drive Sport model, the Mazda CX-5 is also new for 2013. It features the automaker's distinctive Kodo design language, and with its new SKYACTIV engine technology, the CX-5 is rated at up to 35 mpg highway.
Kia Sportage: Where the styling of the Rogue is more crowd-pleasing, the Sportage is more daring and, well, sporty. Both the base 2.4-liter and optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engines offer a balance of performance and fuel economy and are covered by Kia's outstanding, 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
AutoTrader Recommends
Normally, we recommend customers step up to the information, entertainment and navigation upgrades, but we don't see the value for those extras on the Rogue. We do like the added safety and capability of all-wheel drive, so the 2013 Rogue S AWD with the Special Edition Package would be our choice. It's equipped with essentials like a backup camera and Bluetooth but still lands under $25,000.

Firebug 1.5a22Friday, August 28th, 2009
getfirebug.com has released Firebug 1.5a22. The version fails three tests (console/1693 POST gets 500 from server, net/2221, non-english characters, and netPanelSearch). I believe the first two are a config problem on getfirebug.com. I have no excuse for the third one other than it's Friday afternoon and we've been trying to get this version out for a week.We'll fix these and try to get another release early next week.
This version was tested on Firefox 3.5.2 and 3.7 nightly 20090828 using https://getfirebug.com/tests/content/testlists/firebug1.5.html.

- Add Clear Activation List menu item
- Increase the target area of the minimize and maximize buttons; remove the "off" label.
