Criminals work in various ways to steal your identity. Phishing, pronounced 'fishing', is the term coined by hackers who imitate legitimate companies in emails to entice people to share passwords or credit card numbers.
An email is broadcast from a fake server address, pretending to be a real company or financial institution, containing an invitation to verify or to enter username or password. The fake website looks like the real one from the financial institution.
This leads to identity theft: criminals adopt the identity of the holder of the online bank account or credit card and with that they can make payments in name of the genuine holder.
The Digipass system used by RaboDirect makes phishing virtually impossible. Phishing attacks can be successful if your bank relies on just passwords and PIN's that never change. If a fraudster gains access to your username and password detail they can access your online bank account.
The Digipass helps to prevent this because of the two-factor authentication principles. The fraudster would need to know your Customer Number and Digipass PIN code and have your Digipass to be successful with a phishing attempt. The Digipass is also required to authenticate transactions giving you a double layer of security.

The talks did, eventually, get under way and last night Mr Gallucci emerged to say the eight-hour meeting had been 'productive and useful'. If the opening gambit was any guide, it could be months before Pyongyang is ready to do a deal on its suspect nuclear programme. However, the two men did agree yesterday that the nuclear issue was central to US-North Korean relations.
It is nearly a year since Mr Gallucci, an Assistant Secretary of State, last met the North Koreans, and Pyongyang has used the interval to push ahead with its nuclear development.
An informed source said the Americans now want to concentrate on reducing the future threat from North Korea, leaving aside the question of how much plutonium the country already has. The US is also ready to help Pyongyang obtain light-water reactor technology, from which it is more difficult and expensive to extract weapons-grade plutonium, if it agrees to dismantle its existing reactors and reprocessing facilities.
There are broader proposals for economic aid and diplomatic recognition if North Korea submits to full international nuclear safeguards, but Washington is keen to show progress before its ally, President Kim Young Sam of South Korea, travels to Pyongyang later this month for to meet his counterpart, Kim Il Sung.
After a second day of talks at the US mission today, Mr Gallucci and Mr Kang are expected to meet next week.

Flu Season in Texas is Winding Down
There are at least 12,000 new cases of the flu each week across the country, but Texas is much healthier it turns out. So how much longer will flu season last?
There are at least 12,000 new cases of the flu each week across the country, but Texas is much healthier it turns out. So how much longer will flu season last?
What are your secrets to stay healthy around germy kids and co-workers this fall? Let's spill 'em.
Ebola may be grabbing all the headlines, but the virus we're all far more likely to catch and get seriously ill from is one that's very preventable: the flu.
Unless you've been hiding out under the covers shivering, nursing a fever and clutching your achy bones, you probably know this has been a brutal flu season.
What you may not know is there are measures you can take to avoid the flu -- and most of them are pretty darned simple. So, what are they?
While it may be a brand new year and everyone is excited about a fresh start, there is something that comes along with this wintery weather that people don't like: The flu. Doctors have said this is the worst outbreak of the flu in more than a decade, especially for babies and older folks.
Maybe it's not just the effects of the New Year's Eve drinks that you're feeling today. Many people in East Texas are sick with something other than the "brown bottle flu" right now.
Flu cases are up in Texas. Emergency rooms from Dallas to Tyler to Houston are saying they're seeing more flu cases right now, with fevers of 102 to 103 and that yucky, awful, achey feeling. And of course the other pleasantries associated with the flu that we don't need to mention.
With flu cases on the rise, what can be done?
Flu vaccines have always been dreaded by those who hate shots, but this year a company called PharmaJet introduced a device that uses "a high-pressure steam of liquid to pierce the skin and deliver the vaccine." The needle-phobics rejoiced.
But now the FDA is saying, Not so fast.

WordPress 2.8 – Better, Bolder, and Still in BetaBy
WordPress, which is undeniably one of the most amazing pieces of open source software to ever be developed, is getting ready for its next release – WordPress 2.8. While WordPress 2.8 is still in beta (round two at the time of this post), it appears that this already powerful and easy to use platform is about to get even better.
One of the highlights of this latest update is the ability to upload and activate a theme through the dashboard, much like you can do now with plugins. This is a huge plus – especially when you consider that the average WordPress user is intimidated by FTP.
Rather than rehashing what others have already put together so nicely – check out the following articles on the the new features for WordPress 2.8, its benefits and a very cool tutorial.
The official word from the Codex – WordPress 2.8
Kim Woodbridge spells it out in her post on WordPress 2.8: Upcoming Features and Enhancements
Clint Maher keeps it positive with Seven Reasons Why WordPress 2.8 is Better than Ever
Justin Tadlock has three posts on WordPress 2.8 already – The Complete Guide to Creating Widgets in 2.8, Custom Taxonomies in WordPress 2.8, and Tag Descriptions in WordPress 2.8.
I have not heard when the official release date for WordPress 2.8 actually is, but suspect it will be sometime in the next month or so. Have you tried the beta? What did you think? Do you think that the newer versions of WordPress are better or worse than the WordPress of old (2.1 and 2.3)?
3 Comments
Hi Char – Thanks for linking to my article And thanks for gathering all of these articles together.
I think 2.7 is much better than the older versions. I don't think think the features in 2.8 will make a big difference to the average user but I'm personally very excited about the syntax highlighting.
I was asked in my comments but I haven't tried the beta – no excuse other than lack of time.
Glad to do it! I haven't had time to test the beta yet either.
I find wordpress is comming out with new versions a little too quickly. Why not come out with one each year, instead of hastily developing a version, find a whole bunch of bugs, then sending out a new version to fix those bugs a month later.
I'm all for open source, but I must complain about the number of times I have to update and re-update!

Type of site
|Alive! Media & Communications Limited (subsidiary of Fevaworks)
|Created by
|Dr. Jim
|Joe Lam
The Golden Forum (Chinese: 香港高登討論區) is a popular Internet forum for topics related to computer hardware and software, among Internet users in Hong Kong. It has also become a more general Internet community. It is part of HKGolden.com, a computer information portal named after the Golden Computer Centre – a shopping centre of computer products in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, Hong Kong.[citation needed] Access to the website is blocked to users in the Chinese Mainland by the Great Firewall of China.
In the late 1990s, due to the popularity of the Internet, competition drove stores online. In an effort to protect consumers, the traders' association of the Golden Computer Centre launched the website with information about computer hardware and software prices, thus increasing the transparency of the marketplace.[citation needed]
In the early 2000s, a discussion forum was launched to complement the website. It was originally open in structure and without topic demarcation, and destined for computing matters. Very soon, its topics became broader-based, the discussion area segregated into "computing" and "chill" areas, each with their own topics or "stations". On-line discussion groups formed. The community, formed by ordinary citizens as well as computer geeks, would be interested in all manner of local topics. In the course of discussions, slang would be widely employed. Neologisms would often develop, and these would quickly pass virally into colloquial usage.[citation needed]
Topics are themed by hobby groups, and include 'Movies', 'Photography', 'Motoring', 'Music', 'Finance', 'Sport', 'Political' , etc. Although the name "Hong Kong Golden Forum" applies to the whole, this name is now usually synonymous with the "Off-topic station" within the forum due to its runaway popularity. At one time, forum members formed themselves into registered cliques, the most prominent ones being "Big mouth" and "DIY". HKgolden has become an influential media from which topics and exclusive news are frequently being reported on magazine and newspaper. Many people believe that reporters, police and even government may be active in the forum to investigate popular culture and public opinion.[citation needed]
In 2003, the website was sold to Fevaworks by the owner. In July 2003, the database was severely corrupted following a hacking incident, and the website had to be closed for maintenance until 25 August of that year, when the forum was once again re-opened.[citation needed]
Since the incident, a number of changes were instigated:
- membership category simplified to 2 types – "ordinary" and "premium"
- ordinary members are allowed to create only 5 threads per day; no limit for premium members
- in exchange for extra privileges, premium members have to submit proofs of identity and address
- dismantling of the registered cliques
- membership is now free[citation needed]
The forum still repeatedly suffers from hacking, the last provoked stoppage occurred on 8 September 2006.[citation needed]
On 2009, the forum leaked a six minutes detail video involving teenage prostitution on a double-decker bus for HK$200 to raise money for designer handbag. This led to local police launching a criminal investigation.[1]
In Hong Kong, it was reported that Golden Forum was the most visited place for technology brand related discussions with 87,291 posts in a single discussion channel within three months. Twitter remained as second destination with 27,236 posts. The local Eyny Forum followed with 8,683 posts. Yahoo! HK forum was at fourth with 7,538 posts.[2]

What Are Causes Of Aortic Valve Stenosis
What are causes of aortic valve stenosis?
Multiple: Perhaps the most common offending etiology in aortic stenosis in the us is atherosclerosis.

A valve is a structure that regulates the direction of flow. The heart is a special kind of pump. It moves blood by squeezing and relaxing. There are 4 chambers and each chamber has a valve.

Video: Linda Stone on Continuous Partial Attention
Linda Stone at Gel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo
Writer and consultant Linda Stone, who coined the phrase "continuous partial attention", shares some thoughts on the effects of pervasive digital technology in a newly released Gel video (above).
Economist Justin Wehr has pulled out some salient quotes (from Via founder Dee Hock) that Stone uses in the presentation:
Noise becomes data when it has a cognitive pattern.
Data becomes information when it's assembled into a coherent whole, which can be related to other information.
Information becomes knowledge when it's integrated with other information in a form useful for making decisions and determining actions.
Knowledge becomes understanding when it's related to other knowledge in a manner useful for anticipating, judging, and acting.
Understanding becomes wisdom when it's informed by purpose, ethics, principles, memory, and projection.

I can see tickets...but arrest? It does end up with "Regardless of how the investigation turns out, both women said their faith in Irving police has been shattered."
This is a discussion on LEO's Over The Line In Irving, TX? within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Women warn of 'nightmare' traffic stops in Irving | WFAA.com | Local News: TV IRVING - Those driving down the road without an insurance card ...
Women warn of 'nightmare' traffic stops in Irving | WFAA.com | Local News: TVSeems a pretty petty thing to arrest someone for. It doesn't sound like either of the women resisted, but then we are only hearing one side of the story.IRVING - Those driving down the road without an insurance card of driver's license with a correct address may find themselves in jail if they get pulled over by Irving police.
In fact, it happened to two women who were pulled over by the same two Irving cops last weekend. Both women said their traffic stops turned into a nightmare.
Mikki Stokes, of Irving, said she was headed to the store for some sour cream when she was stopped by two Irving police officers.
She was initially stopped for not making a complete stop when exiting the parking lot. Stokes second offense was that her current address was not on her Texas driver's license. However, she said she never dreamed that those two minor offenses would result in her being cuffed and stuffed into the backend of a squad car.
"And I was like, 'Is this something that someone with no criminal record would get arrested for, that's never been in trouble for anything [and] that's not a persistent offender?" she said. "I've never been in trouble before. Why are you arresting me for this? And they were like, 'We can arrest you for anything.'"
Two hours later it was Leanna Onstott, of Fort Worth, who became the next target of the same two officers.
"And he said, 'You are under arrest,'" she said of when she was pulled over without have proper proof of insurance in her car. "And he turned me around and put handcuffs on me and I was just like, 'Is this really happening? I mean, can they do this?'"
Onstott was originally pulled over for creeping her car past the pedestrian crossing line.
Neither woman had outstanding warrants or had ever been to jail. Yet, Stokes said she spent two hours behind bars. Onstott said she spent five hours in jail before posting a $600 bond. However, none of that was what Onstott said was the worst part of her arrest.
"They asked me to take off my clothes," she said.
Onstott was then forced to put on jail clothes.
Both women have filed internal affairs complaints against the two Irving officers Daniels and McPherson. While Irving police officials said their concerns are being taken seriously and will be thoroughly investigated, they also said the officers were within their rights to make the arrests.
"The discretion that was used, the decision to make the arrests, it's well within their authority to do that," said David Tull, with the Irving Police Department. ".... I don't know that you could say it's common, but it's not unheard of."
Regardless of how the investigation turns out, both women said their faith in Irving police has been shattered.
"I think if someone can't get them to stop abusing power and pulling people over and doing stuff like this because they think they have the right to, then they don't need to be in that job," Stokes said.
Onstott warned motorists that as long as officers can arrest whoever they want for what they want, Irving is not a desirable place to drive.
"I just want to know why they didn't give me a ticket," she said. "The public needs to know that it's happening and it could happen to them if it happened to me."
"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground."
- Thomas Jefferson
"I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go"
"Do not let any individual posts put a knot in your Big Boy Under-Roos"
I can see tickets...but arrest? It does end up with "Regardless of how the investigation turns out, both women said their faith in Irving police has been shattered."
Yeah, I am sure that this is the WHOLE story...
How can you ticket someone whose identity you cannot confirm? I always though no proper license was a misdemeanor, but thought no insurance was only a civil infraction. It would suck if it happened to me, but I'm not terribly upset about the no license deal. The no proof of insurance? I think a ticket should be sufficient. Especially because if you can't afford $100/month for insurance, it really hurts to get a $250 fine.
Then there is that missing other side of the story: Fair chance that these chicks were being real (expletives).

Bet when they look into this they find there is a law somewhere that prohibits arrests for such minor infractions when nothing else is going on too.
There are ways to id someone besides a DL. People today carry multiple forms of ID; everything from a SAM's card to credit card.
If the name matches the plates, there is no need for an arrest.
At least it didn't escalate into other "trumped up charges" of resisting.
Or, the favorite around here, they found half a pill of a controlled substance and it wasn't in a bottle with the original prescription.
Be careful out there you Texans. Make sure you don't have your license plate holder with Aggie logo on your plates. With "cops" like this you could find yourself in the clink--- and in Austin yet. And wearing an orange jump suit. With a picture of Bevo.
(Some of that will be lost on non-Texans; it is ....never mind, you either get it or you don't.)
There are definitely ways to ID people and usually advising them to upgrade their address on their license and carrying an insurance card /with issuing citations for the offenses is what officers normally do,then you have some Police Officers that do abuse the authority they are entrusted with,and they get backed up by their superiors.

Hard to have the twin goals of (a) avoiding a "Papers Please!" society and (b) identifying and removing undocumented folks who are not supposed to be here.
It seems to me that actually avoiding being undocumented was within the control of these folks. Given the region, and given the scrutiny of undocumented folks, these folks (who were picked up) weren't thinking too clearly about things.

It is interesting how some take for granted the grace provided by law enforcement to give you a ticket rather than hauling you into jail. It is an arrest either way.
A few decades ago I was caught for speeding in Texas and I was forced to follow the officer into his little small town and come before the judge. I, too, asked him to give me a ticket. But I didn't whine and complain either. I was found guilty and paid the fine.
Some think that if they break 'small laws' that they should not be inconvenienced in the slightest.
Should the cops have reacted like that? I don't know. If you break the law then you have to deal with the conseuences. Hopefully, in a mature, adult manner.
Damned straight I do.
Cops have got better things to do with their time than to haul somebody in for minor infractions, and the typical citizen making a small mistake deserves a lot more respect than this situation suggests. And lastly, most minor vehicle infractions exists as money-making schemes for the city or state. The fine is more than enough 'punishment'.

Wow!! I guess the ladies should make sure that they follow any/all laws to the letter, does seem like a case of over reaction considering the offenses, however there may be more to the story.
Geeze! Just like a woman driver...

They have been advertising this a lot lately here in N. TX, so anyone who has a radio, TV, or newspaper should not be too surprised. They, Irving PD, are impounding cars with no insurance.
Some have called foul as it appears to some as an attempt to round up illegals, which the Irving Police have been gotten on to about, I mean how dare they ask for someone's ID and try to find out what laws they are breaking , which IMHO doesn't fall under illegal search and seizure, as long as there was a valid reason for the stop.
Other than the occasional numbskull shooting himself while scratching his back with his revolver, we don't screw around in TX.
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
The not having proof of insurance I understand. She should have been arrested, and I'm glad she was.
For somebody to get arrested for their D.L. address not matching their residence I find idiotic. My D.L. did not match my residence for all of 6 years(the entire time I was in the service). And some people do not have permanent residences(like an RV owner). If that is actually a law, it's ridiculous.
As far as the lack of insurance, I do believe that should result in the car being impounded and the driver arrested.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

"Oh yeah, that gives us another challenge," he said. "I think going in as an underdog just gives us more reason to win. If we were expected to win, and we won, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But this is going to be fun going in as the underdog, just like last year."
Mangold is not concerned about earning some national respect for the Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl. He couldn't care less about stuff like that.
"I think the respect thing is through everyone else," he said. "Between us as a team, we know what goes on and I know we have respect within ourselves. We'll let the people who do the talking, do the talking."
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound Mangold was a mainstay on the offensive line this season; definitely the most consistent player of the group.
Early in the year, he was backing up Alex Stepanovich, but would enter the game early, and push Stepanovich to guard.
Then, when Stepanovich hurt his ankle against San Diego State, Mangold took over the center duties for good. When Stepanovich returned to the starting lineup, he was in there at guard.
Mangold's playing time didn't come as a surprise to very many. He played a considerable amount off the bench in 2002 as a true freshman on the national championship team and played quite well.
"I'm still a little surprised I played that much last year," Mangold said. "I was not expecting it, but it was definitely good experience for me."
Looking ahead to 2004, Mangold will be one of the few offensive linemen with experience on the roster. Rob Sims and Mike Kne will be the only other "veterans" with big-game experience.
Even with a lot of young guys, Mangold is confident that the offensive line will be solid next year, and especially in 2005.
"The improvement that the guys have done this year, some of the guys that have come in with me, has been great and it's going to pose a big challenge in the spring to try and figure out what the line is going to look like," he said.
Mangold gave us an extensive sneak peak at the possibilities for the '04 O-line.
"Robbie has been doing awesome, so I don't see that changing anywhere.
"Doug Datish, who has been behind me for a little bit at center, I think they'll move him out to guard, maybe, or keep him at center. He's been doing great; learning a lot of things and he's really been contributing to the team that way. So, he's right there in the forefront to get in that spot next year.
"T.J. Downing's been working real hard. Definitely improving on his pass blocking and you can tell that right away. He's been playing tackle.
"(Tim) Schafer has been coming around and learning and he's been on the two-deep at tackle as long as I can remember. He's been doing great.
"Kirk (Barton) came in and was able to use his athletic talent to get moving, but now he's learning things and that makes it so much easier. He's been doing real good; he's a tackle and is in the two-deep.
"R.J. Coleman has been hampered a little bit by an injury for a while, but he definitely has the potential to be one of the great linemen. I think he's been playing guard.
"Mike Kne of course has proven he can play. He's done it in games and stuff, so he's right there in the forefront.
"We also have Adam Olds and (Andree) Tyree in there that can play," Mangold said.
Overall, despite the youth, there seems to be some decent talent and depth in the stable.
"Yeah, I think so," Mangold said. "We're going to be pretty young next year. Spring's definitely going to be a learning time for a lot of us, and a gelling time. I think it's crucial that we gel so we kind of have that feeling that we know what's going to happen with the guys next to us. So, it's definitely going to be an opportunity this spring to be able to come out and gel together and learn a lot of things."
We also tried to ask Mangold his opinion on OSU's young "skill" athletes that he'll be playing with for the next few years. Guys like Justin Zwick, Troy Smith, Santonio Holmes and Roy Hall.
"Skill guys? Don't take away from the O-line's skill," Mangold quipped. "No, I think it's going to be nice. We have a lot of young guys on the offense and that will give us a lot of time to play on the same offense together and gel for the next couple of years.
"I noticed that with the guys that are in right now, like Craig (Krenzel), and Alex, and (Michael) Jenkins and a bunch of those guys. They've been able to be around together and play together for a while, so they've been able to click and have been able to produce that way. It's kind of like they know what the other one is thinking out on the field and I think that's a big bonus and I think we'll be able to get that as we play and continue through."
Compared to some of his teammates, Mangold is rather small for an O-lineman. He reported at 270-pounds last year, and has added about 15 pounds of muscle since then.
"I just try and put on muscle and I've been able to keep (my weight) down," he said. "That's one of the plusses for me is that the weight is a little bit lower. Makes it easier for me to move."
As a "skill" guy like Mangold, quickness is paramount.
"Exactly, exactly. That's very important to have as a skill guy," he joked.
Speaking of jokes, offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Jim Bollman has been on the receiving end of some from OSU fans recently. Although he doesn't call the plays, Bollman has been blamed for some of the offensive woes. Many also feel the offensive line hasn't improved as much as they expected it would, or should.
But don't tell Mangold any of this. He considers Bollman an excellent O-line coach.
"I've learned that he might be one of the brightest guys about football that I've met, or have been with," he said. "The stuff that he comes up with is amazing. He's been able to teach me a ton of stuff about what I'm doing and about plays. Getting the idea of the play, not just who you're blocking, but understand the concept. He's helped me out a ton."
Mangold also disputes the fact that the Buckeyes aren't up for the Fiesta Bowl. He was asked if the players seem more into it now, then when the news was first announced (some players seemed disappointed at first).
"I don't know. I was pretty pumped when I first heard we were going back to the Fiesta Bowl," he said. "It's a BCS bowl and it's a great opportunity for us to be able to go to the national championship, and then repeat with a BCS bowl. So, I was pretty excited and I think a lot of the other guys were excited too.
"Some might have been hoping to go down to the Orange Bowl for a little change of flavor, but I think most of the guys were excited to hear about the Fiesta Bowl, because we were hearing we might not even go to a BCS bowl."

Adjustable Vehicle Safety Belt for Dogs, Worry Free Driving, 1 Inch Wide, Hunter Orange
Only 1 Left In-stock.
Adjustable Vehicle Safety Belt for Dogs, Worry Free Driving, Hunter Orange
Securing your dog in your car makes sense for many more reasons than just avoiding a ticket! A Vehicle Safety Belt actually prevents accidents. Most dog/car accidents are caused by a dog that distracted the driver. Many dogs are like jumping beans in the car. They jump from seat to seat or they pace back and forth. A dog seat belt is for them. Other dogs are very mellow - until you make a sudden stop, or have an emergency steering situation, or maybe it is simply that a truck passes you and honks, or that you are rear ended when you are at a stop light. Now that mellow dog is anxious and scared, and trying to get into your lap. A dog seat belt is for them. And if you ever do have to slam on the brakes, it is a great idea to have your dog tethered . . . And most importantly - if you are in an accident, and a rescuer opens your door to get you out - your loose dog is likely to run out of the car - and into traffic or just away. Neither situation is good. And both can be avoided, with a dog seat belt. Lastly, Yes, Police are now ticketing for having a loose dog in the car. Some states have specific animal tethering regulations for vehicles. Yet, police in any state can write a ticket for an untethered dog in the car under general 'Distracted Driver' or "Improperly Transporting an Animal" provisions.Â

University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada
PURPOSE: Reasons patients with chronic cough are referred for specialist evaluation include: anxiety on the part of the patient, family, friends, or treating physician that the cough represents a serious condition, personal lifestyle disruption, cough-associated symptoms, or lack of response to treatment. Cough-associated symptoms may include sleep disruption, fatigue, syncope, retching, vomiting, stress incontinence, or chest pain. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of post nasal drip syndrome and cough-associated symptoms.
METHODS: Patients, referred with cough of greater than one month's duration, completed a cough-specific quality of life questionnaire. Abnormal chest radiographs or systemic symptoms, such as fever, night sweats, or weight loss, dyspnea, hemoptysis, a history of cancer, tuberculosis, or other underlying respiratory disease were exclusions.
RESULTS: 108 consecutive patients were surveyed. Median age was 47 years (range 18 to 79 years) and 71% were female. Median cough duration was 49 months (range 2 to 360 months). Most had one or more trials of various asthma inhalers and proton pump inhibitors but only a few had trials of nasal sprays prior to referral. 49% had concerns of a serious underlying disease such as cancer, tuberculosis or another serious infection causing their cough. 48% experienced sleep disruption, 49% retching, 22% vomiting, and 42% of the women complained of stress incontinence. The majority of patients complained of nasal symptoms-nasal stuffiness, coryza, drainage down the back of their throat. Treatment included saline (85%), ipratropium (16%), or corticosteroid (6%) nasal sprays; corticosteroid (ICS) or combination ICS/LABA inhalers (18%), and proton pump inhibitors (12%). Cough disappeared or improved in 77% of the patients eight weeks after initial assessment.
CONCLUSION: Eight weeks after initial specialist assessment, most patients in this cohort experienced an improvement in their cough and in cough-associated symptoms.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Community physicians appreciate that asthma and gastroesophageal reflux can cause cough; however this study highlights that postnasal drip syndrome is less well recognized as an important cause.

nandivarman.rediffiland.com/ Thursday 31 July, 2008 Write to Nandhi Varman Forward this link AUROVILLE : A FAILURE
Dutchman Carel Theime gets angry if I refer Mirra Alfassa as Frenchwoman...I am a Tamil, Indian Tamil, and she is a French, French being her mother tongue. After all she spoke only in her mother tongue to Satprem, who recorded it for 22 years. I wonder why Mr. Carel Theime gets angry when I say her or BBC describes her as Frenchwoman.
It becomes evident from Satprem's words that she "uncovered the great passage to the next species and a new mode of life in matter". Mr. Carel Theime is in India to finish her unfinished agenda. Then Indian people expect that the so many trusts Mr. Carel Theime and his friends from overseas have created should have some connectivity to the purpose of tracing the next species and new mode of life. It is not so.
Aforestation, environment, solar energy, natural farming etc for which these trusts have mushroomed here can be undertaken by Indians. These are global issues and in every country non-governmental organizations are working on these themes. We require Mr. Carel Theime and company here only to find the passage to next species or the new mode of life in matter. Indians know for centuries to build temples, and all goddesses in India, are due to Indians being matriarchal society. Hence to build a Matrimandir, we don't need foreign expertise.
We need these foreign species here to find out the passage to next species. If for that purpose they are here, we can welcome. But to teach Indians agricultural farming, which Indians knew for centuries before west knew, if these foreign species create non-governmental organizations here, we don't need them. We say to them Go Back! ...
You would have read our demand for bringing all sub trusts under Auroville Foundation as one entity, one department under the Indian Government controlled Auroville Foundation. The reason why we made such a demand stands proven from the words of the Mother of Aurovillians and Ashramites. The creation of Trust after Trust is a disease which started in Aurobindo Ashram Trust and spread to Auroville Foundation. The motive behind so many trusts is tax evasion...
The Key to Death could not save Mirra Alfasa. This is truth. And if at all those who believe in her had faith in what she spoke or wrote, they must have carried forward from where she left. They would have undertaken scientific research to prove her theory or to realize her dream. Neither the business trusts of ashram nor the eyewash trusts of Auroville Foundation are pursuing the goals of their prophets. If Mr. Carel Theime finds our criticism on failed prophets to be harsh, he must vow to do research and find the key to death or guide the humanity to the next evolutionary cycle.
We don't question anybody's faith. Let them believe that key to death could be found. If it is faith, let them have their faith. The followers of Jesus Christ till day even after 2000 years believe resurrection will take place. Like that for 2000 years let these people search the key to death. But till the prophecy stands scientifically proven, rationalists have the liberty and freedom of ex-pression to call the failed prophets a failure.

text: Following on from my question about what admins are doing with their warnings and bans, I am also seeing an increasing tendency in the forum-sphere for mods and admins to lock a topic when it contains opposing opinions or negativity/problems towards the site itself, citing such reasons as nasty or abusive (example). Often it's only robust discussion that I would expect to see around a friends dinner table, or brain storming meeting in a business environment, and thus the reason given looks more self serving than legitimate. Do you actively use thread locks as a proactive or reactive measure, where a warning or ban cannot be justified? Do you allow your mods (or yourself) to lock topics and stifle discussion/opinions because it opposes their own or that of a vocal minority/majority? Do you require them to give specific reasons (ie. posts) as examples of why it was closed. Or is a generic reason, with little justification, enough? Do users accept that these days?

Perth, Nov 30: Australia pacemen dominated the opening day of third and final Test as they dismissed South Africa for 225 in the final session at the WACA ground on Friday. In reply, Australia were reduced to 33/2 at stumps.
In Ricky Ponting's final Test, Australia have started off well and in their bid to give the former captain a winning farewell. However, South African fast bowlers too began on a high towards the end.
Ponting did not walk out to bat at number four today as nightwatchman Nathan Lyon joined David Warner in the middle. There were comical scenes at Perth when Lyon walked out to bat. Crowd, thinking it was Ponting, started to cheer Lyon, only to realise their mistake. Ponting's wife too started applauding Lyon but she too came out know later.
Hosts' quicks Mitchell Starc (2/51), debutant John Hastings (1/51), Mitchell Johnson (2/54) and Shane Watson (1/22) all picked up wickets while offspinner Nathan Lyon most the most successful bowlers with figures of 3/41 in 12 overs.
Yet again, for South Africa, it was Faf du Plessis who stood tall among the ruins. After his unbeaten century to save the Test in Adelaide on debut, Du Plessis remained not out again, this time was stranded on 78.
South Africa, after winning the toss, chose to bat. They had a decent start with skipper Graeme Smith and Alviro Petersen batting out the first 10 overs without much trouble. But once Watson came into the attack and removed Smith in the 12th over, Australian bowlers started to take control.
South Africa are playing their 200th Test here. If Australia win this Test, they will return to the top of the ICC Test rankings, replacing their opponents. The Proteas have to draw the match to retain their number one position.

Published: 24th Jun 2013
BT has announced it is getting underway on ambitious plans to deliver superfast broadband services to 90 per cent of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire homes by March 2016.
A total of 52,500 locations across the two counties are to be connected to the new network as part of the ongoing Broadband Delivery UK partnership, with the remaining ten per cent of homes to be provided with access to satellite broadband and bonded DSL lines to improve speeds.
Connection rates of up to 80 MBps will be achieved once the work has been completed, building on BT's £2.5 billion investment in delivering improved access to superfast services for UK homes.
Andrew Percival and Michael Garvey, representing Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership and Buckinghamshire (Thames Valley) Local Enterprise Partnership, stated: "Both Local Enterprise Partnerships are pleased to see the project reach this important milestone.
"This investment will enable enterprises and business parks to reap the benefits of superfast connectivity, enhancing the prospects for business growth, job creation and economic competitiveness."
BT managing director for next generation access Bill Murphy added the move is "fantastic news" for anyone living in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire and will help to move the two counties into the "broadband fast lane" over the coming years.
The project is to be split into two schemes, with some premises receiving superfast services via FTTC (fibre-to-the-cabinet) and the remainder being serviced by FFTP (fibre-to-the-premises) lines.
Meanwhile, plans announced by BT and Cumbria County Council were earlier this month criticised by Tim Farron, South Lakes MP, who told in-cumbria that he is "incredibly angry" regarding the proposals.
Mr Farron argued his constituents now have to wait years for work to be carried out in their area, something which is wholly unacceptable.
He concluded: "It means that communities in our area could be left 'til last and the work could take two and half years."

PCI Scan
Good Morning All
One of our sites just failed a PCI scan for not blocking ICMP type 13 and 14 packets (timestamp). The firm that conducted the scan also is asking us to turn off IDS and allow unrestricted access to their external IP address. I am inclined to deny this and cannot understand why this will help. Anyone have any similar experiences with this ?
Thanks in advance. Bud....

Chenry Lewis
Chenry Lewis (DE/OLB, 6'3"-210lbs) from Paterson Catholic H.S. in Paterson, New Jersey has made a verbal commitment to Rutgers. He was selected first-team AP All-State and Player of the Year in Passic County. He selected Rutgers over Iowa.
Why did you select Rutgers?
I liked the coaches and the environment. Finally, he wanted to stay home to have his family and friends see him play.
When did you make the decision?
Yesterday, it was a great sense of relief to have the recruiting process over. He stated that he will not be taking any more visits.
What position will you play?
Although he played DE in high school, he stated that Rutgers recruited him at OLB, weakside. However, he stated that he would play where ever they put him and he just wants to play.
Do you want to redshirt?
In order to add more size and muscle, he hopes to be redshirted and looks forward to entering the Rutgers strength and conditioning program. To get a jump start on the process, he stated that he would like to either attend summer school or stay on campus during the summer to lift and condition.

Four summers ago, I enlisted in the war against the pine bark beetle raging on Wyoming's Togwotee Pass. I started to fight by inspecting every pine on the two-acre lot where my partner and I spend much of the summer. Sawdust at the base of one tall lodgepole indicated that the humpbacked killers had already drilled in. Were they blocking the tree's conductive vessels with deadly spores of blue-staining fungus? Pink resin wads on the trunk indicated that this tree was trying to eject the evil dendroctonus by immobilizing it in sap.
But we faced a hard choice: Let this pine live, or cut it down.
The lodgepole's crown was still bright green. We could leave it alone and hope that deep snow and cold would return. If the temperature dropped to 40 below and moisture helped my tree deploy sap, it might cast out the beetles. But if the barbarians took hold, their eggs would produce armies nurtured on my pine's juicy phloem. By the time its branches turned rust-colored, the newly hatched soldiers would have flown out to invade another tree. I didn't know then that I could peel back the bark to check for orange larvae galleries, indicating that the beetles had reached the invincible stage.
Instead, I exclaimed, "Let's take out this weapon of mass destruction! Get a chainsaw!" After that, we burned the tree and its invaders before they could escape. Yet this was just the first wave. Our trees fell like dominoes. Even as pipes burst in below-zero cold weather, more orange pines turned blue inside.
Spying boreholes in a favorite lodgepole, we tweezered out a beetle and waterboarded it in gasoline. "Made you feel better, didn't it," chuckled an entomologist friend. After that, we sprayed our 150 surviving trees with Permethrin.
As it turned out, we needed to save some beetlemania for our neighbor inholders in the Shoshone National Forest. We found that most cabin dwellers who escape to the mountains for relaxation weren't eager to join a labor-intensive campaign. At our first meeting, I passed out literature that urged property owners to thin, trim and spray. Afterward, apathy returned, as the Forest Service had predicted: "We never got so many calls about dying trees, or saw so little being done," a staffer told me.
One woman, who owns three lots, refused to thin. "The beetles are nature's way," she said.
"No, they're global warming's way," I said, and watched 80 percent of her lodgepoles succumb, including a sky-brushing veteran that had stood there since before the white man's time. When she sold her property to a dentist, he tried to save the remaining pines by watering them. Unfortunately, he committed a war crime by crossing a fence and pumping water out of the ditch that irrigates an attorney's hay ranch. The lawyer showed admirable restraint by urging the dentist to get his own federal permit.
A couple in their 70s lacked the strength to cut down red trees, so we marked 25 infected pines for them, all spotted with telltale sap "popcorns." "You have to axe them before they look dead," I explained, "or they'll infect the rest."
"I'll be right up to deal with it," a busy sheep rancher promised, but in the midst of a divorce, he couldn't face it. A year later, the bark beetles finished off his lodgepoles; our yellow tape was still tied around them.
After a couple of years of this, I had about given up when the will to resist finally moved the community. Grandkids turned up to clear one lot, a neighbor who had been in denial borrowed a wood chipper, then loaned it to us, and the dentist chainsawed sick trees instead of watering them. And our fiercest opponent finally said: "Why don't we just cut down all the trees and get it over with?"
Best of all, our community diplomat persuaded the last holdout that firefighters might not defend her home if the standing dead trees began blazing.
As for us, our early intervention paid off. We have saved most of our pines, along with a chunk of our property value. But how long can we spray, and what might we be poisoning besides the bugs? Isn't it futile? Experts predict 90 percent mortality. When we sawed up one granddaddy pine that didn't make it, a cloud of black beetles stormed out.
Putting aside those disturbing questions, we recently hosted a homeowner's meeting. Instead of discussing beetle kill and the flames predicted to sweep the diseased forest, we drank watermelon margaritas, compared our visits to foreign countries and laughed at bad jokes. And people said they were already replanting.

The correspondence by Campo et al regarding our recent publication in CHEST (November 2009)1 emphasizing that systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH-SSc) may occur early in the course of the disease (ie, within the first 5 years of systemic sclerosis [SSc]-related, non-Raynaud phenomenon symptoms) is of great interest. Indeed, for the first time, two teams, one in the European Union and one in the United States, independently have shown that PAH-SSc may be an early complication of SSc in up to one-half of the cases. As a consequence, we both recommend that screening for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be considered immediately after the occurrence of the first SSc-related non-Raynaud phenomenon symptom.
Campo et al then focus their discussion on the threshold of the diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (Dlco) (35% of predicted value) that we have found to be an independent risk of death in our population of patients with PAH-SSc (hazard ratio, 2.587; 95% CI, 1.029–6.501; P = .04). Obviously, Dlco may be reduced not only because of pulmonary vascular disease but also because of comorbid interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is not uncommon in such patients. Distinguishing pure PAH from pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to hypoxia associated with lung fibrosis in patients with SSc may be challenging, and both conditions are sometimes associated. Patients with evidence of ILD, as demonstrated by abnormal high-resolution CT scans of the chest and total lung capacity (TLC) ranging from 60% to 70% with elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure >25 mm Hg at rest, were kept in the analysis set in case of the absence of extensive ILD or severe lung fibrosis, based on the expertise of our team, because they were considered more likely to have PAH-SSc rather than ILD-associated PH. We agree that such patients may be difficult to classify and that some may have quite severe ILD, which could contribute to PH. In order to address this comment, we have reanalyzed our data after exclusion of all patients with a TLC<70% and found a 40% cutoff of predicted Dlco value to be an independent risk of death at 3 years in patients with PAH-SSc (hazard ratio, 11.25; 95% CI, 1.38-91.60; P = .02). These consistent results suggest that Dlco is likely to be an important and relevant prognosis factor in patients with PAH-SSc. ILD, PH due to ILD, and PAH are not the sole causes of Dlco impairment in patients with SSc. Nevertheless, for clinical practice, it seems important to highlight the fact that a markedly impaired Dlco<35% to 40% of predicted value in patients with PAH-SSc may be associated with a worst-outcome scenario.

The Falkirk MP, Eric Joyce, has been fined £1,500 after he admitted using threatening or abusive behaviour at an airport last year.
The 53-year-old independent MP pleaded guilty to one charge when he appeared at Edinburgh sheriff court on Friday. The charge related to an incident at Edinburgh airport on 19 May last year.
Speaking outside court, Joyce said he would reflect on whether to continue as an MP until the general election in 2015. "My instinct is to stay but I don't know how I will feel in a few days."
Joyce apologised to airport staff, police and his constituents.
"I am very embarrassed that this has happened," he said. "My constituents have seen this before, so they might think other apologies are not meant, but they are."
Asked if he had a problem with alcohol, Joyce said he had addressed such issues. "I think I am well past that now."
Joyce was a Labour MP until March 2012 when he resigned from the party after pleading guilty to assault.

specifically to increase efficiency in government agencies by creating a
government community that connects personnel across different geographic,
experiential, and occupational demographics. Toolbox.gov would fully
harnesses the power of Web 2.0 to move democracy forward by creating a
direct line of input from the public on agency projects and in doing so
help the government better serve the people.
A system such as Toolbox.gov is the next essential step to make better use
of tax payer funds by allowing agencies to run more efficiently and
ensuring resources are allocated consistent with citizen demand.
