DHH put up a provocative post the other day questioning the societal norms of the startup culture. This isn't a new rant for him or the 37signals crew, but he touched on a few things I thought worth amplifying. From the post:
The problem is that most "exciting new company" lore is…
A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!
Today Ben and I are announcing the release of a new iPhone app called Contact Congress. What it does is really simple: grabs your location (or you can give us an address), locates your representatives, and lets you get on the phone with them in two taps.
Why we built it
Like many…
Rule of thumb
People who're discovered screaming "Allahu Akbar" at the top of their lungs with any degree of sincerity should not be allowed access to modern technologies and conveniences, nor should they be allowed to participate in democratic elections in any capacity.
Democratic US President now publicly, calmly asserts power to arbitrarily kill US citizens
A few thoughts on Obama's extrajudicial assassination of US citizen Anwar al Awlaki.
One thing that stands out is the curious fact that almost all mass media mentions of Awlaki refer to him as "American born."
Awlaki wasn't just "American born" - he was an American citizen. So was Samir Khan, who was killed alongside him, apparently unintentionally, in the same drone attack.
That's two American citizens killed because the US President declared one of them to be a terrorist and demanded his death.
Think about that for a moment.
These were US citizens. Executed without arrest, without charges, without a trial, without evidence, without a hearing, without anything resembling due process. They were killed because the President said they were evil and needed killing.
Even if they *were*, for the sake of argument, really and truly Evil, and really did deserve death -
Do you really think a President - any President - should have that kind of power?
The power to just declare any *citizen of his own nation* worthy of death, and to order their assassination?
Without any oversight? Without any checks or balances? Without arrest, charges, trials, evidence?
Consider - official policy when dealing with the worst *mass murderers* in the US… monstrous individuals who kill their fellow citizens - is to track them down, apprehend them, charge them, put them on trial, and provide evidence to prove their guilt. Even the worst *mass murderers* are, under US law, presumed innocent until *proven guilty*.
But if the magic label of terrorist is affixed to a citizen, apparently all their rights vanish instantly.
Awlaki and Khan - again, American citizens, both of them - didn't kill anyone.
What were their crimes?
Speaking and writing. Expressing ideas. Communicating a point of view the US government did not agree with. That's all that's apparent.
The government of Mr. Obama asserts that Awlaki was "operationally" involved with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, that he was planning attacks on US "interests and citizens" - but they refuse to provide any evidence of that. To anyone who questions these assertions, their response has been basically "this is what we're saying is true, we don't have to provide any evidence, so fucking shut up and believe it, assholes. Jesus, what's the matter with you cynical bastards? It's time to celebrate! - we killed that motherfuckin' Terrorist stone dead, bitches!"
In the absence of any evidence regarding Awlaki's alleged "operational" involvement, what we're left with are the crimes of speaking and writing.
Two US citizens making use of their rights, as citizens, to freedom of speech, were killed, apparently, because what one of them - Awlaki - was saying was deemed evil, dangerous, and worthy of death by the President. And the other - Khan - well, he was just a lucky coincidence.
So it seems that Awlaki was killed because he "inspired" terrorists. He "exchanged emails with" terrorists.
Apparently these are now crimes punishable by extrajudicial assassination.
No arrests, charges, trials, or evidence necessary. No presumption of innocence. No need to prove guilt.
Apparently, now, the President's mere word is enough to establish a conviction.
Apparently, now, the US President's personal, unaccountable decisions and orders to kill US citizens trump the entire American legal system.
Don't you think that maybe, in the broader picture, this should be a litte bit of a cause for concern?
One thing's for sure… Mr. Obama is an odd kind of constitutional scholar and a vastly odder kind of Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Plot summaries for the final two "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels
In the sixth book of George RR Martin's Game of Thrones series, every single character from all of the preceding books will be killed off.
The seventh and final book will begin with the revelation that only half of them were actually killed; the other half were only almost killed.
And then inside 100 pages they'll all be really killed 100% irrevocably stone dead.
Except 25% of them will turn into ice zombies, and fifty others will be resurrected.
Then Martin will introduce six thousand entirely new characters and spend 1500 rambling, sweaty pages explaining where they live and what they're eating and wearing and what the weather's like from moment to moment and detailing their excruciatingly tedious journeys from various vaguely interesting but near-totally irrelevant places to various other somewhat dimly intriguing but also almost wholly irrelevant places.
In the final chapter Westeros will suddenly become a constitutional democracy and a character we just met four pages earlier will be elected Prime Minister and deliver a stirring speech explaining what he's planning on having for dinner and what he's thinking of wearing next week and why keeping painstakingly accurate financial records is very important. Then a dragon will eat him. Then we'll discover that Ned Stark is actually still alive and that the entire story was all a dream he was having while in a deep coma he fell into after eating too much of a rancid eel pie. But then it'll be revealed that he really *is* dead and his being in a coma and dreaming the entire thing is actually a dream being experienced by Daenarys while also in a coma, which it turns out she lapsed into at the beginning of the first book and has never awoken from.
And then there are five more books, all written by Brandon Sanderson because GRR Martin will by this point have died of six simultaneous heart attacks.
A Jumping of Sharks
Finished reading "A Dance With Dragons."
Alternate titles:
"A Lacking of Editors"
"A Cashing of Royalty Checks"
"A Losing of Interest"
"A Yawning of Readers"
"A Filling With Padding"
"A Bloating of Sidestories"
"A Skimming of Chapters"
"A Nothing is Happening"
"A Stopping of Reading"
"A Done With This Series"
Who are these five thousand tedious new characters introduced over halfway through the series and why should I care about them?
Why have all the main characters turned into boring whiny passive/reactive unconvincingly drawn shadows of their former selves?
The first three books are great, classics. Enormous, towering achievements. The fourth is tolerable. This one… sorry, I have to get off at this stop. If the next two (three? Four? Five?) books come out, I'll skim summaries.
I offer my sincere thanks and awestruck respect to Martin for his prior accomplishments. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours. I just can't go on watching this thing get driven into the ground.
O noes! Interdimensional clockwork machine elves are coming through a portal created by the Large Hadron Collider to kill us all!
Noooo! I'm too young to be killed by clockwork machine elves!

3 Doors Down is keeping busy during the down time between gigs on their Songs from the Basement acoustic tour. Frontman Brad Arnold says the guys have been tinkering with ideas for their next studio album while they've been out on the road.
"We're working on a new record right now, and I think we needed to do so while we're out on this tour," he tells ABC News Radio. "Then immediately following that tour we're gonna really get in there and start working on a new record."
Arnold adds he already has an idea for the forthcoming release, noting he's hoping to avoid writing slower songs and instead to make cuts that are a bit heavier this time around. "We want our new record to be fun, but we also want it to have a lot of meaning, and we want it to be heavy," he explains. "We'll stay away from the slow songs a little bit I think on this, well, you know what, I say that, and then a big slow song will come out. We don't really aim to write anything in particular, it's kind of however it comes out, but we want to stay on the heavy side of things."
3 Doors Down's acoustic tour hits the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, OR, on Friday and Saturday. The band will wrap up the outing at The Egg in Albany, NY on February 17. Visit 3DoorsDown.com for the full itinerary.

MEDINA TOWNSHIP, MI (Toledo News Now) - Officials have uncovered stolen property from a violent home invasion in Lenawee County. On Oct. 27, 2010, a family woke up to three masked men armed with a handgun, who forced their way into their home around 11 p.m.
"It's hard to know that they're still out there and we don't have finality and resolution to things," said the mother. "They broke in the door, came in our bedroom, proceeded to tie us up, bound us as they took us around our house finding property."
The men sexually assaulted the woman in her 30s before leaving, and used zip ties to bind her ankles, her husband, who is also in his 30s, and their two young children ages 5 and 8.
The suspects are described as having average height with a medium build. No other information is available at this time.
The suspects were in the home for about one hour. After they left, one of the children was able to free himself and subsequently freed the rest of the family. The father called 911 at 12:03 a.m.
Cash, tools, electronics, firearms, even the family's pickup truck were all taken. The truck was found burned a few hours later.
After that, officials did not have much to use until now.
"Recently we recovered some stolen property from the house in Ohio," said Sheriff Jack Welsh.
Authorities are not releasing what that property was, but say they found it in Paulding County. Investigators are speaking with the people who had the property.
"Usually on cases like this that's often how we solve them: Somebody saw some property some place and we're able to tie it to somebody," explained Welsh.
"We have come to a place of forgiving them, but we still want justice. We do feel that nobody should get away with what they did to our family," said the woman.
Investigators are following several leads but are asking for the public's help. Anyone with information about this case can call Lenawee County CrimeStoppers at 877-276-8477.

Garland: Should the bombing suspect be Mirandized?
by Garland Robinette
posted Apr 22 2013 1:31PM
There has been much debate about whether the hospitalized suspect in the Boston bombings should have been given his Miranda warnings as soon as possible. As we have seen in other terrorism cases, the knee-jerk reaction by the public and government alike is often to take measures that erode away at our protections guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
Such is the case, once again. The FBI and DOJ say they are using the "public safety exception" as a legal way to interrogate the suspect without advising him of his Miranda rights to remain silent and his right to an attorney. I was joined today by Alan Dershowitz, one of the most renowned attorneys and legal scholars in the nation to discuss the case.
First off, what is the "Miranda warning?"
In the1966 case of
Miranda v. Arizona
, the U.S. Supreme Court laid out six very specific warnings that police must give suspects in a custodial situation before they are interrogated:
"The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, a lawyer will be appointed to represent him."
There are a few valid exceptions to the Miranda requirement, with
the public safety exception
('PSE') being one of them. The 1984 case of
New York, v. Quarles
, the Supreme Court carved out this exception for situations "where concern for public safety must be paramount to adherence to the literal language of the prophylactic rules enunciated in Miranda." The court ruled that for statements gathered under the PSE to be later admissible in court, the questioning must involve a scenario "in which police officers ask questions reasonably prompted by a concern for the public safety."
Many of our listeners, and
quite a few public officials
, have said over the last week that the suspect not only should not be Mirandized, but actualy deserves NO typical constitutional protections, and should be tried by a military tribunal as an 'enemy combatant.' However, Dzhokar Tsarnaev is an American citizen accused of setting off bombs and murdering a police officer on American soil. Obama's DOJ has repeatedly said that terror suspects arrested inside the U.S. should be handled within our criminal justice system. And, the White House announced today that there will not be a military tribunal.
Dershowitz told me in no uncertain terms that investigators should read the bombing suspect his rights as soon as possible in order not to jeopardize the case.
"They should give him his Miranda warnings, because there's no public safety exception that's applicable here," Dershowitz said. "The police have told the people of Boston, 'go about your business, we've got the two suspects, there are no bombs around.' The public safety exception is designed not to gather information to prevent future crimes, but for immediate ticking-bomb situations."
Click HERE to listen to my interview with Dershowitz...
There appears to be a large amount of evidence implicating the two brothers in the bombing, including videos and photos. So, what's the worry with not Mirandizing them right away?
"The reason is because they have to prove intention. It's not enough to prove that he planted the bombs in order to be convicted of federal terrorism, which carries the death penalty," according to Dershowitz. "They have to be able to prove that he intended to commit an act of terrorism. They may get that information from his statements that are un-Mirandized, and the courts may keep them out. This may deny them the death penalty."
And, Dershowitz told me that it sets a very bad precedent.
"I think it expands the PSE beyond where it was intended by the courts, and it basically shows contempt for our constitutional rules, and an attempt to circumvent the Constitution. We can prosecute this man within the Constitution and within the Miranda rules, and I think we can do it successfully."
I also asked Dershowitz why should we should be worried about a suspected terrorist's Miranda rights, when persons summoned before a federal grand jury in ANY case have
"Well, it's a terrible rule…They were never intended to be that by the framers of the Constitution. You have no rights in front of a grand jury," Dershowitz said. "You don't have a right to a lawyer in front of a grand jury. It's awful, it's really an inquisition."

Garland: Should the bombing suspect be Mirandized?

Michael Damian Jeter, English Teacher, Mobile, AL
Yes, because the accused is a citizen, but even if he were not, I would argue that it is better to err on the side of the Constitution, showing the world that we are better than countries which have fewer freedoms.
Karen J. Williams Mandeville, LA
Mirandize him now so you don't give them an opportunity for a mistrial. Do it by the letter of the law.

An Ice Rink Around Every Corner: The Russian Hockey
and Figure Skating Advantage
In Wisconsin we joke about there being a bar on every corner, driving around our region in Siberia it seemed like there was an outdoor ice rink around every corner! It made me think about how the Soviet Union and now Russia have always seemed to dominate both the figure skating and hockey competitions in the Olympics. Now we know the reason why!
When I asked about this I was told by my Russian guide that during the winter months there isn't much else for kids to do in the areas far away from cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. The reason there are so many rinks is that they spend most of their time skating from an early age. Over here it's a real challenge to get ice time!
(My other theory - judging from my own young kids' amazing natural
athletic talent is that there must be something in the water or air too.
Don't worry though – they will be playing Hockey for the U.S.A.! A
Mom can dream, right? )

Character relationships in the Iliad
The Iliad is an epic poem by Homer with a lot of characters and story lines going on at once. I vaguely remember reading bits and pieces in high school and getting totally lost. Santiago Ortiz explores these relationships in his latest work, which draws on the connections i.e. character sentence co-occurrences.
There are two views. One is a network diagram (above), with characters sized according to number of connections with others, and a matrix view accompanies. The network has sort of a fisheye effect as you mouse over, which I think is there to make it easier to browse, but as it goes with these sort of visualizations, there are still some challenges as you try to get more details or look at smaller nodes.
The second view is a streamgraph, with a stream for each character.
I had trouble getting excited about the content, but it's fun to play around with the interactions.

I think this is a neat idea for helping learn about the book – but it doesn't leap off the page that Meneleus is married to Helen, or that Hector and Paris are Priam's sons.
Maybe a genetic map, a familial map, a fight map, a coalition map… overlaid, and then flowed through time…
Now if only someone would do this for One Hundred Years of Solitude!
I totally agree!!!!!
For character relationship and narrative visualizations, I still like the xkdc model: http://lebowitz.net/visualization-of-star-wars-lotr-and-jurassic because it adds the framing of time and place, and allows you to see which characters are together in a place and time.
> For character relationship and narrative visualizations, I still like the xkdc model
That is nice – reminiscent of that famous map of Napoleon's march on Moscow.
This is what people in the digital humanities field are doing. See researchers at Stanford University, for example. And it's a work that actually requires a lot more dedication than just looking at characters co-occurances within a sentence.
anyone know what program was used to make the first image?

Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If you're not afraid of logic and math doesn't make you throw-up, then you'll have a steep learning curve at the beginning of any programming job.
You should know what an Integrated Development Environment is, how debugging works, and where to find the language documentation for the programming language you are writing in. This should be enough to get you started. The rest is just a matter of hard work, and how much experience you have will determine what jobs you can apply to. Just start looking for easy assignments and keep writing systems - it'll come too you. If you can't find a job yet, do some stuff at home, there's plenty of answers here on where to start:
I think software development is a profession that to the core implements "learning on the job" .
There is a difference between a job and an internship. Most internships last over the summer months and then the intern(s) will go back to school. Interns are usually put on low priority and low risk tasks/projects. Very rarely have I seen interns actually working on production code, although I had one intern who was very good who actually fixed a few bugs. So, I wouldn't expect an intern to know that much about coding since they are still in school learning. However, this would be a good opportunity to learn about the real world and potentially make some contacts outside of school for future employment opportunities.
A job on the other hand, well you better know what you need to meet the job requirements. Usually programming jobs will test you to make sure you can code since programming requires a lot of hard skills as opposed to soft ones. The more you know the better.

I need a camera.
I need a new picture, and I wanna do a thing where I post a riff/song of the day, but I have no camera. I've tried to record with my brother's webcam but the audio sounds like ass. I guess I could run my amp right into my computer and get audio, but that's not as compelling to watch as video. Not like I have any followers anyway.

Import prices decline in June
July 11, 2002
The U.S. Import Price Index decreased 0.6 percent in June. The decline was attributable to a turnaround in prices for imported petroleum, which were down 6.6 percent in June.
The drop in the price index for imported petroleum was the first decline in this component since December 2001; during the first five months of 2002, the index had jumped 47.1 percent. For the 12 months ended in June, however, petroleum prices were down 7.9 percent.
The June increase in the price index for nonpetroleum imports was the third rise over the past four months. For the year ended in June, however, the index was down 2.6 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS International Price program. Learn more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes - June 2002," (PDF) (TXT) news release USDL 02-385. Note: import price data are subject to revision in each of the three months after original publication.

Our best in-ground automatic Polaris Pool Cleaner for vinyl or fiberglass surfaces is powered by the pressure of clean water returning to your pool. The 165 operates with the pumps and filtration systems normally found on these pools. Installs in minutes, the 165 uses a patented jet sweep assembly that blows water against the pool wall to loosen debris in hard-to-reach places even if the pool has an uneven bottom. An easy-to-remove filter bag removes any debris before it reaches your pump basket or filter.
The Polaris Vac-Sweep 165 is designed for any vinyl or fiberglass in-ground pool, even those with an uneven bottom up to eight feet deep. Invest in a Polaris Pool Cleaner today

How to Clean a Swimming Pool
Q:What's the difference between suction, pressure and robotic cleaners?
A:Suction cleaners work off the existing suction of your swimming pool pump and plug into your skimmer or designated cleaner line. Pressure cleaners use the pressure of the water to help propel them around the swimming pool. You can connect some pressure cleaners to the pool return or a booster pump (if required). Robotic cleaners are self-contained units that will climb up your pool walls (in ground) to clean most debris and algae. You will need a transformer (comes with cleaner) and an electric outlet (110/115v) by the pool.

Newcastle have signed veteran English defender and football analyst Spencer Prior for the rest of the A-League season.
The 37-year-old former Norwich City, Leicester City, Derby County and Manchester City player trained with the team on Tuesday ahead of Sunday's trip to Wellington.
Reigning premiers Newcastle, who are in last place and out of finals contention, have had their playing stocks hit hard this season.
Prior, who works for Fox Sports, joins as a guest player just days after the Jets lost captain Jade North to South Korean side Incheon United.
Prior helped Manchester City gain promotion to the English Premier League in 2000 but only made a handful of appearances in the top flight.
He joined third-tier Cardiff City in 2001 and helped them rise to the Championship before returning to his first club Southend in 2004, where he stayed until coming to Australia last year.

New Comp Schremp
This is Rob Schremp. He can do lots of things with the puck, including this rather difficult looking game of "strip hacky-sack" which he may or may not be losing in the photo.
Rob Schremp's problem is that although he's in another dimension with regard to puck tricks he is decidedly human with foot speed. His coach said some interesting things about him not long ago when the Oilers sent him out, including this item:
"He needs the strength base and the quickness. He's got to be strong enough to battle at a standstill with players because he's not going to outskate many players."
We can't grade out progress on that level with math, but we can begin to look at Rob Schremp's season in regard to his own past to see if there's any progress. I like to work back from comparables, players who have some basic similarity in terms of progress through junior and minor league play who are also somewhat similar in position, size and skill set. It doesn't make sense to compare Ales Hemsky as a 19-year old to Mike Grier at the same age because although they are both RWs and quality players there's no real connection in style of play or role on a team.
Bill James "comparables" relied heavily on math too, but position and age were also vital to the conversation. I've been doing this for years now, long before blogging, and some people like it and some don't think it has value.
Either way, it's fun. Back to today's subject, Rob Schremp. In his case I wanted to create an "outer marker", a "best case scenario" player who might represent what Schremp could become. Since we're mostly Oilers fans here, I chose Mike Comrie.
Why? Well, he's an undersized skill center who had some skating issues and was more famous than his actual abilities warranted based on results. I call this the "Derek Sanderson" family of players, named after the terrific two-way centerman whose style and attitude drew more attention than his (considerable) talent.
This summer, I wrote about Schremp V Comrie here. That article got lots of attention (and some anger, which is fun) here. I don't know if we're moving the conversation forward but at least we are making a legit attempt to move beyond the "saw him good" fanbase.
When Mike Comrie was 21 years old (Schremp's age now), he was scoring 33 goals in the National Hockey League. Let's set aside for now how much that helped his team win hockey games, but let's deal only with the math. In order for Schremp to be considered in any way comparable to Schremp at the same age, he would need to score a similar number of goals at the same level. Right? Of course. You could argue that Schremp could get in the conversation with a 50 goal AHL season, but the counter to that is that if he was on a 50-goal pace he'd be in the show as we speak.
Let's go back to Schremp's own track record and compare this season to has last few years. I like to use a tool put together by Gabriel Desjardins called NHL equivalencies. You can read all about it here. Basically they work much the same as Bill James baseball version, as Gabriel did the ciphering to come up with a way to let all the air out of minor league and junior stats and arrive at a realistic "line in the sand" for minor league numbers. In order to get a better tool, we'd need ATOI for all these leagues and that isn't going to happen.
Okay, with that in mind, here are Schremp's NHLE's for the last four seasons before this one:
- Age 17 NHLE: 82gp, 11-17-28 (.341)
- Age 18 NHLE: 82gp, 16-20-36 (.439)
- Age 19 NHLE: 82gp, 25-38-63 (.768)
- Age 20 NHLE: 82gp, 10-21-31 (.378)
The season that got everyone aroused was the year he played monster shifts and incredible PP time in order to rack up the points. In baseball terms he was leading off every inning, so it wasn't a realistic reflection. It's my opinion that season is the number one reason there is so much confusion about Schremp as a prospect. The numbers guys (I'm in that group, but at the back of the line with addiator) never really march in lock step with the "saw him good" crowd but the disconnect that one season produced is stunning. So far the math guys are beating up on the saw him good crowd pretty well btw.
So, 11 games into the new AHL season, has Schremp progressed? A few facts first:
- Schremp has played in 9/11 AHL games.
- He's played in the NHL this season, but we'll disregard his time for our purposes.
- He played on a solid offensive team in 06-07 (3.36 goals-per-game)
- He's playing on a less effective offense team in 07-08 (2.91 goals-per-game)
With those items understood, we can expect his offense to be down slightly year over year if he's running in place. Fair? Okay, here's the last three seasons with 07-08 thrown in at the bottom:
- Age 17 NHLE: 82gp, 11-17-28 (.341)
- Age 18 NHLE: 82gp, 16-20-36 (.439)
- Age 19 NHLE: 82gp, 25-38-63 (.768)
- Age 20 NHLE: 82gp, 10-21-31 (.378)
- Age 21 NHLE: 82gp, 13-25-38 (.463)
It's early, but there's some progress here (by the math). Now, I'm still going to give the MacT quote above more weight and if I'm in a hockey roto league (someone should make one, not just a boring pool but a real roto league where WHIPs can kill) he's not a guy I'm spending one dime on but Rob Schremp appears to be progressing.
We need to find a more realistic comp, though. Who should it be? I suggest Robert Nilsson. Just based on the pure numbers he would seem to be a fine comp for Schremp. Here, let's do that:
- Age 17 NHLE: 82gp, 12-21-33 (.402–ahead of Schremp)
- Age 18 NHLE: 82gp, 4-7-11 (.134–Nilsson has a bad year)
- Age 19 NHLE: 82gp, 6-11-17 (.207–Schremp's big season)
- Age 20 NHLE: 82gp, 10-22-33 (.402–ahead of Schremp)
- Age 21 NHLE: 82gp, 9-29-38 (.463–spot on with Schremp)
A quick note: Nilsson's 20 year old season above contained a lot of actual NHL time. I just added in the AHL stuff to his NHL totals.
It's a meandering comp but at 21 (Nilsson last season, Schremp this year) they look like a solid match. Anyone else?
Here's a reality check. Since MacT took over, pretty much all of the guys who spent a lot of time in the minors (and knocking on the door) were two-way kids, plumbers and skill guys so far down the ladder they needed to get some breaks (Peter Sarno, that kind of guy).
The real skill guys, the kids who could bring it, all went to the show as soon as they got a chance. They sent Hemsky back to junior but he stayed at 19 so MacT and the coaching staff could protect him (remember those quotes), Cogliano made it without a throw this spring, and most damning of all the kid Gagner made the team at 18.
One of the reasons he did was Robbie Schremp. He's making progress, but he's going to need some breaks. And if he's as close to Robert Nilsson as Desjardins' implies here, what are the odds he gets those breaks with the Oilers?
If this were 1973 and the Habs, he'd be Chuck Arnason. Pollock would have had Bowman play him for 20 games until he was famous enough to flip for a draft pick. I suspect Schremp's future could be very similar to Chuck Arnason's.

|Wish List
The sheath dress I love this dress. It's a perfect fit for my curvy body. I have the camel color which goes great with my skin tone. I would recommend this dress for a sleek dressy look. September 24, 2014
Classic sheath I ordered this in the brown because I liked the navy and black sheath dresses so much but I was less than impressed with the color. Personally, I wish it would have been a bit richer. The fit on this is big. I'm small chested and this is large up top so I ordered one size down (from my normal size 4 to a size 2) and the fit was fine. Ended up returning but overall not bad, just not for me. September 15, 2014
Great for the office Pleasantly surprised by this dress. I ordered the darker one which is a nice taupe-brown color. Fits great and looks professional even with a cardigan. September 10, 2014
Perfect fit Comfortable, fits body nicely even if you have big hips such as myself. September 9, 2014
Too big! I ordered this dress in a 6 Tall. I normally vary between a 4 and a 6 in regular Limited sizing. The 6 Tall just HANGS on me. Definitely too shapeless to be worn in any professional setting. I will see if I can exchange for a 4 Tall instead. August 27, 2014

During my two-year post as AARP's President, I'll be reporting here regularly on what I'm hearing and learning from the most interesting people in the world – AARP's members and volunteers all over the country – and from the events and activities I have the privilege of addressing in my new position as chief volunteer spokesperson.
"If it weren't for Medicare, we'd be bankrupt, or I'd be dead." I heard this powerful testimonial from a woman at a Tulsa senior center on a recent AARP visit. Another woman told how she, as a young mother, was able to feed and clothe her family only with the help of Social Security survivors' benefits after her husband died suddenly.
For her, and for me, Medicare and Social Security are deeply personal.
My dad died before I was born, and my mom raised my sister and me on seamstress wages and monthly checks from Social Security survivors' benefits.
The first in my family to go to college, I financed my education through scholarships, three jobs, and National Student Defense Loans.
As much as those experiences shaped me, a life-threatening boat accident had an even greater impact. I survived, but only through a miraculous rescue. This sobering event challenges me every day to ask, "Am I doing all I can with the second chance I've been given?"
Volunteering with AARP's board of directors, and as president, make it easier to say "Yes" to that question.
Listening to our members and volunteers, and receiving the great gift of their stories, is the best part of my job.
They've told me about their struggle to find decent jobs, how they wrestle with caregiving challenges, the joys of grandparenting, the fulfillment of volunteering, and about the hard work they do day in and day out to provide health care and financial security for their families.
Listening to them guides the board in helping them navigate life's realities.
As I begin my term as AARP president I will work each and every day to make sure every voice is heard.

Bugzilla 4.2 released!
We released Bugzilla 4.2 today, exactly one year after our previous major release, 4.0! Bugzilla 4.2 now supports SQLite, lets you create attachments simply by pasting text into a text field, can send bug changes notifications in HTML format, supports more complex queries, lets you disable old target milestones, versions and components (so that you don't need to delete them, but also don't let users report new bugs to them), has accessibility improvements, and much more…
This release also means that Bugzilla 3.4.x is no longer supported. Installations still running 3.4.14 or older are highly encouraged to upgrade to 4.2, especially to benefit from the security improvements made in newer versions. This also means that Bugzilla 4.0.x will now only get security fixes, and other bug fixes won't be accepted on this branch anymore, unless they fix critical flaws, such as upgrade issues or dataloss.
The Bugzilla team will now focus on the next major release, Bugzilla 4.4, which we expect to release before the end of the year. We expect to release the first development snapshot (4.3.1) in a few weeks. New features will be accepted for the next two months, till the end of April. Then we will focus on stabilization to prepare Bugzilla 4.4rc1.
If you are interested in helping with the development of Bugzilla, now is a good time to join the team and contribute with new features and/or bug fixes. Due to other activities and because life can sometimes make you very busy, some core developers had to stop their contributions to the Bugzilla project in the last few months and so we would be very happy to see new faces. Bugzilla needs to be faster, nicer, more user friendly, and all this is only possible with your help, your ideas and your feedback. So even if you aren't a Perl expert, there is a lot of place for everyone (you can do a lot with HTML + JS + CSS only, think about the User Interface!). If you are not sure about how to contribute or help, feel free to join us on IRC in the #bugzilla channel. There is always someone around to answer your questions. :)
Bugzilla 4.2rc2, 4.0.4, 3.6.8 and 3.4.14 released
We released Bugzilla 4.2rc2, 4.0.4, 3.6.8 and 3.4.14 a few minutes ago. They all contain various security fixes which are described in the Security Advisory. 4.2rc2 should be our last release candidate before 4.2 final, which we expect to release in the 2nd half of February. On the other end, 3.4.14 is very likely our last release for the 3.4 branch. Once 4.2 final is released, we won't support 3.4 any longer. This means that admins still running 3.4.x or older are highly encouraged to upgrade. Users should pester their admins to upgrade if they don't do it themselves. ;)
Now is a good time to explain (again) why upgrading is not only about getting new features and bug fixes, but also to keep your installation secure. Below are some security fixes and/or enhancements made to various releases:
X-XSS-Protection header
Since Bugzilla 4.4, the X-XSS-Protection header is used to block simple XSS attacks.
CSRF vulnerabilities in attachment.cgi and post_bug.cgi
Till recently, no token check was done before accepting new bug submissions or before uploading an attachment to an existing bug. The rationale behind this was that in older versions of Bugzilla there was no easy way to do it from the WebServices API, and we didn't want to break existing 3rd-party tools which were legitimately interacting with Bugzilla. As the lack of token validation could be used by attackers to submit unwanted new bugs or attachments, it has been decided that a token was required in these cases too, and not only when updating a bug or an attachment. But to not break 3rd-party tools, these token checks have been implemented in Bugzilla 4.2 only, meaning that Bugzilla 4.0 and older are still vulnerable to these attacks. If you want your installation to be protected against this kind of vulnerabilities, upgrade to 4.2!
Configurable password complexity for user accounts
Bugzilla 4.2 has a new parameter which lets admins decide how complex a password must be to be accepted by Bugzilla. Up to 4.0, Bugzilla accepted all passwords which were long enough (min 6 characters by default). Now you can enforce the complexity: uppercase + lowercase characters, letters + numbers, etc… If you want this feature, upgrade to 4.2!
Clickjacking in attachments with the text/html MIME type
As Bugzilla accepts all attachments independently of their MIME type, it was possible to attach HTML files which could try to abuse users using a method known as clickjacking. To prevent this, the "Details" page of attachments now display the source code of these HTML files instead of rendering them. This security enhancement has been implemented in Bugzilla 4.0.4 and newer (including 4.2). If you want it, upgrade!
X-Frame-Options: sameorigin header
Since Bugzilla 4.0, the X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header is sent for all pages (besides attachments when delivered from their alternate host). This prevents to load a Bugzilla page from within a frame outside Bugzilla itself. This, combined with the clickjacking protection above, prevents an attacker to create an HTML page with malicious code in it to force a user to make undesired changes to Bugzilla. If you want this, upgrade!
Strict-Transport-Security (STS) header
Since Bugzilla 4.0, a new parameter lets admins enable the Strict-Transport-Security header to force the communication between Bugzilla and the user to be made over SSL only. This prevents data to be sent unencrypted.
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header
To prevent Internet Explorer 8 and newer from sniffing the content of attachments, Bugzilla 4.0 and newer now pass the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header to avoid some malicious attachments to be rendered as HTML files.
Lockout policy to prevent brute force
Since Bugzilla 3.6, if you try to guess someone else's password and you fail 5 consecutive times, your IP is blocked for the next 30 minutes. If you still run Bugzilla 3.4 or older, Bugzilla will accept all your attempts to crack the victim's password, severely increasing the risk that the attacker manages to do it.
And much more…
Those of you who are still running very old versions of Bugzilla (older than 3.2) don't have their login cookies protected against JavaScript as they don't have the HttpOnly attribute set. This means a malicious HTML page could steal your login cookies very easily and they could then be used to impersonate your user account. These same cookies also do not have the Secure attribute set which prevents them to be transmitted on unsecure connections. And last but not least, tokens used by Bugzilla 3.2.9 and older are not generated using a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. This means that with some effort, your installation could be abused by an attacker who managed to guess how tokens are generated in your installation.
Now I think you know enough about security features implemented in Bugzilla to decide what you want to do. If security matters to you, you should upgrade to at least Bugzilla 4.0.4, and seriously plan to upgrade to 4.2 once it's released later this month.

Lucie Doughty
Best Part: "My job is never the same each day."
Hardest Part: "Leaving home and living out of a suitcase is rough at times."
Best Advice: "Search around for a mentor, whether you find one at a trade show or on hairdressing websites, ask them if they will coach you. Find someone you can connect with and speaks to you."
Lucie Doughty's earliest memories are of spending Saturdays sweeping up hair and sorting rollers in her mother's salon. Ever since then, she felt destined to become a hairdresser. After graduating from an extensive two-year cosmetology program, where she dedicated every waking moment to her studies, Doughty attained the esteemed position as an apprentice with Vidal Sassoon.
While working for Sassoon, Doughty began to see how her cosmetology degree could be used in a variety of ways—and this had her thinking beyond the chair. "One of my favorite and most unforgettable memories was when I got to style for Sassoon's 30th Anniversary in Portugal and Korea," says Doughty. "At the events, Vidal would demonstrate to the audience and I was just amazed at his stage presence—how he was able to interact with the audience, how everyone fell completely silent when he was doing a technique, how he was so captivating to watch. I learned from watching Vidal that for one who performs on stage it's not only important to have a magnetic demeanor, it's important to have a strong team behind you."
After working with Sassoon, Doughty learned there were three areas to master in order to become a successful platform artist: First, you need to be passionate about your craft ; second, you need to be versatile in all cutting/coloring/styling techniques across the board; and third, you have to surround yourself with a team of people who are easy to work with and just as motivated about hair as you are.
At the end of the Sassoon program, Doughty took an opportunity to work at the Manchester, England, and then the Frankfurt, Germany, salons. Her passion for teaching really began when she became the head of the color department and was responsible for teaching the apprentices. Doughty was then given an opportunity to head the color department at the new Santa Monica California Academy, so she packed her bags and hopped on a plane to the states.
It was in California where Doughty met Winn Claybaugh, a motivational speaker who was opening the first Paul Mitchell School, in Costa Mesa, California, and accepted the position as a color specialist and created the hair color curriculum that is still in use for more than 100 Paul Mitchell schools today. Now as the Editorial Director for Paul Mitchell, Doughty is responsible for conceptualizing and art directing much of the brand's imagery that is used for promotional materials and advertising.

Some 259,000 dairy cows were slaughtered in federally inspected plants in September, the United States Department of Agriculture reported Thursday.
That's 8,000 more than a year ago (+3.2%), but 7,000 fewer than in August. However, on a per day basis, dairy farmers sent 12,950 cows to hamburger nirvana in September compared to 12,090 in August.
Year-to-date, 2,342,000 dairy cows have been slaughtered. That's 54,000 more than a year ago, or 2.4%.

Simpletons? Check. Lunatics? Check. Fanatical neocon ideologues? Check.
Hat tip for this video to buhdydharma commenting on a post from FMArouet at Docudharma: Neocons vs. Iran: Final Prewar Scouting Report (see quotes below)
As the Bush/Cheney White House, its supportive neocon ideologues, and its public relations machine appear to be "catapulting the propaganda" to prepare the way for attacking Iran, perhaps for a change we should try the novel approach of thinking and asking about the possible consequences before actually launching yet another preemptive war.Take the day off. Lock the door. Brew a pot of coffee, and go read the whole thing.
No one in the corporate media, in Congress (save for a few largely drowned-out voices, such as that of Senator Jim Webb), or least of all in the Unitary Executive (except for Secretary of Defense Robert Gates) gives much evidence of raising and pondering such questions.
Let's give it a try below the break. Just taking the trouble to ask a few questions uncovers at least five major tectonic shifts that likely would follow a U.S. assault on Iran.
There will be plenty of links for those who want to delve a little deeper. You might want to start with a full coffee cup.
[detailed description of global cataclysm & consequences here]
Who would launch such a war?
Simpletons? Check. X
Lunatics? Check. X
Fanatical neocon ideologues? Check. X
War profiteers, i.e., Big Guns, Big Oil, and Big Wartime Contractors? Check. X
Sociopathic, Nuremberg-caliber war criminals? Check. X
Are these "deciders" actively seeking Armageddon on the hill of Megiddo? Or are they yearning for a Wagnerian Götterdämmerung?
Or are the U.S. "deciders" simply incurious about the likely consequences of their actions and incapable of considering alternatives? The late historian Barbara Tuchman, author of The Guns of August and The March of Folly, had a word for such behavior: wooden-headedness.
No matter what Cheney and Bush decide to do with the massive U.S. destructive power that they have deployed to the Persian Gulf, the geopolitical tectonic plates have begun to slide swiftly. Will the plates arrive at a new equilibrium with--or without--the shock of a regional (and perhaps global) cataclysm that would be triggered by a U.S. assault on Iran?
Then watch this six minute film about Hillary Clinton.
You may want to have some whiskey in the house for later...

Take On Mars update adding Steam Workshop support, future plans include new environments
Bohemia have announced that they're launching a "major update" to Take On Mars later today, which will add Steam Workshop support to the sciency sim. With Workshop integration, players will be able to share new scenarios, and make use of new terrain and models. So if you've been put out by the game's flagrant disregard for a particular pattern of brown rock or dust, you've now got the opportunity to take matters into your own hands.
You'll find the Take On Mars Workshop page here, once the lumbering Steam giant has woken up and made it live. Once they do, you'll be able to download a mod pack from the development team, which adds a new crater location, a buggy, and some customisation options. Today's patch also brings new side-missions, and various bug fixes.
Bohemia have also announced a much bigger update to the core game, called Deimos, which will be made available on October 3rd. This will add two new locations, a vehicle designed for zero gravity use, and a mission generator that "dynamically creates photo, exploration and analysis tasks around the player's location." There's also some extreme weather effects planned, along with an overhauled failure system to be battered by it.
You can read more about the two updates over at the game's patch announcement page.

The Single Parent Program at Goddard was the first of its kind in the country. Then Director of Development Doug North developed the program in response to what he saw as a pressing social concern. The program was designed to provide the higher education necessary to help single mothers get the education and skills they needed to get them off welfare. In the fall of 1986, eleven single mothers and sixteen children moved to the Greatwood Campus.
