Dan was the guest host of the BBC's satirical panel show "Have I Got News For You" on Friday (Dec 21 – series 44, episode 10, for those of you keeping score at home) and if you're reading this now… YAY!! (Watch the show, you'll see what I mean!) If you've not heard of this show before, Dan's job was to moderate a less-than-reverent discussion of current UK news topics with series regulars Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, and guests Sara Cox and Andy Hamilton, in a sort of game show format. Hilarity ensues!
UPDATE: There was a YouTube video link here but it got pulled for copyright reasons. I'm pretty sure there's a few clips out there still but I'm not going to link them directly in case the YouTube Police strike again. Definitely worth seeking out though.
In an interview with The Independent's Christina Patterson to promote the upcoming A Young Doctor's Notebook, Dan spoke of his love of the work of the author Mikhail Bulgakov, and about the fact that fear is very much a motivating factor for him.
On his favourite book, The Master and Margarita, having had an impact on a whole culture, just like Harry Potter:"It is," says Radcliffe, and he doesn't seem to flinch at the question, "something that has. It's in the collective consciousness of a generation, and there are words that are now filtering into the language, like Quidditch and Muggle. It's a shared set of references, I suppose, and it's quite universal. Potter was so massively wide-ranging, and read by everyone." I nod. I feel a bit guilty, but I still nod. It was read by pretty much everyone. Just not, unfortunately, by me. "I'm always pleased," says Radcliffe, and he sounds as though he means it, "to be associated with something that was so important. And it's not just a franchise. It's only really in the past few years that that word has been bandied around, and it makes everything seem very cold and business-like. We were always wanting to prove ourselves and get better with every film."
On fear being a motivating factor:
"Oh, it's very motivating," says Radcliffe, with an eagerness that has me smiling again. "I don't want anyone ever to say 'you know, maybe somebody could do Dan's job better than him'. In the past, they could legitimately say that at certain points. I haven't always been thrilled with my work. But the fear of not proving the people wrong who think you can't emerge from a franchise and do well, that's a very strong driving force."
You can read the entire interview here
On Friday evening, Dan took part in a conversation with George Stroumboulopoulos at Whistler Film Festival, as part of their Spotlight Series. You can read highlights of the event here, courtesy of The Vancouver Sun. The event was filmed, so fingers crossed it will show up online soon.
Dan was a guest on the 7th December episode of BBC1′s The Graham Norton Show (series 12, ep 7), alongside Team GB's gold medalist Jessica Ennis, Ricky Gervais and musical guest Bruno Mars. With his Sky Arts series A Young Doctor's Notebook setting a new ratings record for the channel, Dan spoke about his role as the young Doctor, and was shown a fanfiction website dedicated to stories about him.

Penn State punishment debate, Kings/Barons fallout, more mail
Story Highlights
The NCAA should leave the Penn State case to the state and federal governments
Notre Dame is still a 'King' for now, but a few more 8-4 finishes could change that
Difference in NFL, MLB drafts show the need for changes to NCAA's agent rules
I swear we'll start talking actual football soon, but my inbox was flooded with reactions to last week's Kings/Barons Mailbag and the Penn State Freeh Report. I'll do my best to address both here. Maybe by next week we'll be ready to start breaking down Michigan-Alabama.
Hi Stewart. NCAA President Mark Emmert has said that he won't rule out any punishments for Penn State up to and including the Death Penalty. I like to consider myself a rational human being, and I consider the actions of the dozen or so included in the Freeh Report as being independent of both the football program and the university as an institution. With that in mind, is the Death Penalty really an option?
-- Kyle Tennant, Franklin Furnace, Ohio
I'll give Emmert this: He's far more candid publically than his predecessors, and in theory that's a good thing. The NCAA could certainly use a strong voice. The problem is that he has a penchant for espousing things he can't personally deliver.
You may recall that last year Emmert tried to flex his muscles and hurry through legislation to provide a $2,000 scholarship stipend for athletes. The membership overturned the measure a few months later. Emmert also raised eyebrows last fall by saying the Death Penalty was not "off the table" in the Miami/Nevin Shapiro investigation, and while that's technically true, it will ultimately be up to the Committee on Infractions. The same holds true with Penn State. It's not his call to make, yet he's now put the NCAA in position to look cowardly if it doesn't take action, which is unfortunate considering it still remains incredibly murky if Penn State actually violated NCAA bylaws.
I've maintained for some time now that the NCAA should leave the matter of punishment to more important bodies, in this case the Departments of Justice and Education and the State of Pennsylvania. But in the wake of the Freeh Report there is now considerable pressure for the NCAA to do something severe, even if it means bucking all precedent and protocol. Personally, I think the Death Penalty would accomplish little besides vengeance. While I strongly disagree with Kyle that the actions of Paterno/Spanier/Curley/Schultz were independent of the university -- they made decisions on behalf of the university -- shutting down football at Penn State would not directly punish any of them. The people that would suffer most would be innocent athletes, both in football and other sports; Penn State's opponents, in and outside the Big Ten; and local businesses that depend on Nittany Lions game weekends.
It seems to me the people calling for the Death Penalty primarily want to punish the Penn State community for caring too much about football. News flash: We all care too much about football. That warped culture presumably contributed to the cover-up, but it was not the actual crime. If the NCAA feels the need to step in, it needs to come up with a punishment that doesn't bring so much collateral damage. Personally, I'm struggling to come up with one that doesn't seem trite.
Stewart, with all the rumors floating around regarding the NCAA stepping into the Penn State mess, what do you think of forgoing the usual penalties (scholarship reductions, bowl bans or the dreaded Death Penalty) and letting Penn State play but take ALL its revenue (including a bowl, if the team makes one) and donate/distribute it to the victims and families?
-- Bill Van Iden, San Francisco
Now that would actually accomplish something productive.
Note that Penn State did donate $1.1 million from its bowl revenue last year to the newly formed Center for the Protection of Children. But that didn't stop USA Today's Christine Brennan, a vocal Death Penalty proponent, from writing that: "... eschewing even a modicum of class or dignity, the school accepted a bowl bid after last season." Apparently allowing the 2011 players to finish their season meant the school wasn't "serious about the Sandusky scandal," even though it had just paid $6.5 million to the Freeh Group to find out everything it did wrong.
These are the kinds of leaps in logic people are making in their thirst for blood. Kudos to Bill for actually thinking of something that goes beyond pure vengeance.
Stewart, you are improperly labeling yourself as "naïve" when it comes to your original response to the Penn State scandal. You weren't naïve at all; in fact, your response was (and still is) absolutely proper. We didn't know the details, and too many people were ready to jump to conclusions. Now that the facts are known, you are properly and appropriately repulsed by the actions of the Penn State power brokers. I commend you for taking the right initial approach in light of the serious allegations, and I also commend you for your response when the facts came out.
-- Ken Waite, Indianapolis
That's very kind of you to say, Ken, and I can assure you my approach to sensitive stories that involve criminal aspects will not change. But I was most definitely naïve about some things, in particular Joe Paterno. While I never held him up as some saintly figure, it wasn't until the Freeh Report revelation about Paterno's knowledge of the 1998 investigation that I truly believed he was capable of such a heinous and intentional cover-up. And I really have no good excuse for why.
The deification of Paterno began long before I started covering the sport, and in fact before I was even born. The notion that he was morally superior to the typical coach was never something I personally witnessed. The man I observed over the last 12 years of his life was stubborn, surly and defiant of anyone who dared question the way he ran his program, in particular the way he disciplined his players, despite a rash of issues in the 2000s. At the same time, he was also increasingly senile, and in the early stages of the story I figured that might explain some of Paterno's inaction regarding Sandusky.
Now, of course, it's crystal clear that Paterno knew exactly what he was doing. Maybe he didn't comprehend just how disturbed Sandusky was, but he had two clear warning signs and still chose to keep the matter in-house. The coach I observed would absolutely have been power-drunk and paranoid enough to put his program above the safety of children. At some point over the years I must have internalized the mythology that Paterno was nobler than the typical football coach, despite myriad evidence to the contrary. I deeply regret that.
I looked up all the sportswriters and you made the Peasants list. I guess we're the same now!
-- Mike, Louisville
Hmm. I wonder what that's referencing.

LINCOLN — Tim Miles is well aware that the Nebraska men's basketball landscape is far more briar patch right now than garden spot.
The Huskers have finished last in their league two of the past three seasons. The droughts for NCAA tournament appearances and NBA draft choices have reached 14 and 13 years.
Veteran sportswriters voted NU last on 23 of 24 ballots in the preseason poll for the Big Ten — a league that is expected to be the nation's strongest for the third straight season.
So what does a new coach do under those conditions?
Start plowing.
"This is my fifth reclamation project," said Miles, who signed a seven-year contract in March with starting pay of $1.4 million annually. "You just have to dig in."
So far, Miles has earned praise and attention for his bubbly personality and funky use of social media. Don't expect anything off the wall, though, in declaring what he hopes to accomplish by season's end.
"I hope our guys fully understand our system," he said.
"It's as simple as that. If at the end of the year we know this group can teach the incoming group what's to be expected, that's going to help the process."
Notice no mention of a projected record for the coming season. At his previous stops, Miles' first-year marks were a mixed bag:
At Mayville (N.D.) State, an NAIA Division II school, he was 16-11.
At Southwest Minnesota State, an NCAA Division II school, he was 17-11.
At North Dakota State, a Division II school that was transitioning to Division I, he was 11-15.
At Colorado State, a Division I school in the Mountain West Conference, he went 7-25. And then 9-22. And then 16-16.
Notice a pattern?
"It's always easier to (rebuild quickly) on a smaller level," Miles said. "When you are an NAIA coach, there are a lot of NAIA players. Heck, everybody is an NAIA player.
"When you are in the Big Ten, there are very few Big Ten players. So the curve is more difficult the higher you go."
What Miles and the Huskers might accomplish in his first season never came up during his interviews with Nebraska officials.
"I don't recall talking about that or asking anything about the players," Miles said. "You don't look at it like that.
"You look at the pillars of the job. I looked at the support of the administration. I looked at the fan support. I looked at the physical environment. And the conference. That's why you take a job."
|To read more from our 2012-13 college basketball preview, click here.
Miles said he won't bull-headedly install his systems this season and use them exclusively, results be darned. That would be unfair to the players at hand, in general, and specifically to seniors Brandon Ubel, Andre Almeida and Dylan Talley.
"We owe it to them," the coach said. "Whatever their goals are, we need to fight every minute out here to reach those."
Posting a good record isn't likely.
Nebraska, coming off records of 12-18 overall and 4-14 in the Big Ten, will use just eight or nine scholarship players this season.
Four of those are new to the program, and two others sat out last season. No returning player scored in double figures a year ago.
Miles paused when asked if he had a message for the Husker fan base about Year 1.
"We want to meet their expectations, but that's not the driving force," he said. "The driving force is to run the program at the highest level we can.
"There's still only one guy who gets the loss. Only one guy whose name they put in the paper with his record right beside the name. So nobody wants to win worse than that guy. And that guy is me."

Freoffice: Free Office Viewer for N900
Nokia has released an alpha version of a new office viewer for the N900 smartphone. The software named Freoffice, installable under Maemo, is based on KOffice project code.
The viewer can open multiple documents simultaneously, page, scroll and search through them, and cut-and-paste from among them. KDE developer Jos van den Oever gives an overview in his blog on how to install the Maemo package on version PR1.1 of the N900 platform.
The program is licensed under GPLv2 and the source code is available in the KOffice project's SVN repository. Freoffice should benefit from the progress made in the KOffice KDE office suite, now approaching version 2.2.

Making Sense of Master Limited Partnership Tax Rules
by Mary Lyman
So you've finally bought some shares in a master limited partnership (MLP) after hearing everyone rave about this equity investment that gives you a high yield, pays out cash every quarter and has tax advantages.
A couple of quarters go by, your investment pays off as promised, and you're a happy camper. Then tax season rolls around and instead of the familiar Form 1099, a new form called a Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) shows up in the mail, with numerous boxes labeled with different types of income and deductions. What's going o

Gerald - Capital gains realized in an IRA from a MLP are not taxed. As the article states, UBTI can be, if it exceeds a certain level.

TurboTax does MLP K-1s easily, the cheapo programs either don't compute MLP K-1s or prove totally difficult to enter MLP K-1 info.

How does one handle MLP gains in a Roth IRA.
David Phillips from Alabama posted about 1 year ago:
I have been under the impression that for capital gains tax purposes, the original basis is used to calculate the gain or loss. There is of course recapture on the portion of income that was tax deferred. This is based upon the example in the old Wachovia MLP Primer.
Table 2 is the same info contained on the NAPTP web site and I would like to have this clarified please.
F paul Brady from California posted about 1 year ago:
Yes, the K1's are not that difficult using Turbotax. One problem I found is that the information from the MLP often arrives very late so one has to wait until early April to finish putting the info into the forms.
Greg Mckelvey from Georgia posted about 1 year ago:
@F paul Brady: Good point. The deadline for issuing a K-1 is March 15th, unlike a W2 which is Jan 31st, for instance. It can be anxiety-producing if you aren't expecting it.
If you prepare your own tax return, I usually prepare it when I have all w2, 1099-x, etc. forms. I add the K-1 info as I receive them. Entering everything but the K-1 info early allows time for review and discovery of potential problems with enough time to correct them. [Like better planning of 1040-ES payments next year! :-) ]
If you have someone else dong the preparation, I would submit all information minus the K-1 forms as soon as I have it. That allows the preparer to enter the information and just complete the 1040 when the K-1 becomes available. That should result in a better quality (accurate) return, rather than delivering a whole sheaf of tax information during the CPA's "crazy season".

Thanks for your comment. I generally don't get into the issue of taxation on the sale of an MLP in an IRA unless specifically asked, because it is not a completely settled issue (the IRS has never ruled on this question) and I am not a tax advisor. It is clear that the portion of gain from the sale that would be taxed at the capital gains rate in a capital account will not be taxable to the IRA. The question is, does the IRA have to pay tax on the recapture portion, the amount that is taxed as ordinary income in a sale from a taxable account? Of the MLP tax experts I've consulted—some tax lawyers, some accountants—some feel that there's an argument to be made that the transaction would be completely tax free to the IRA. Others argue that there is only one interpretation, that because the tax code gives precedent to depreciation recapture over any other rule, the recapture amount is treated as unrelated business income and the IRA must pay tax on it. All agree that the IRS would take the latter position; the only question is which position would prevail in the Tax Court and any subsequent appeals. Again, I don't give tax advice, but the safest route is probably to assume that recapture applies.
The article actually does indicate how the unrelated business income tax is paid (unless it was edited out; I haven't seen the published version), as does the material on the subject on the NAPTP website: it is the responsibility of the plan's custodian—for example, Fidelity if you hold your IRA in a Fidelity account—to file the appropriate tax return (Form 990-T) and pay the tax out of the IRA's funds. Perhaps I should have emphasized this more, as there is a of lot confusion among investors about how affects their taxes. If you are the beneficiary of the IRA it has absolutely no effect on your taxes—the IRA itself is the taxpayer owing money to the IRS, and any tax payments come out of its funds not yours.

I had been using TaxCut for years but it doesn't automatically handle the MLP K-1's. Switched to TurboTax several years ago and that works fine for me.

All of the discussion on MLP taxation appears to reinforce the conviction some people have that the USA is in need of a serious rework of our tax law patchwork. I assist elderly people with taxes, including some K-1's, through the AARP volunteer network and even people with modest incomes are overwhelmed by some tax considerations.

When dealing with multiple MLPs in an IRA (a Roth IRA) is the exemtion $1000 per MLP or $1000 for the entire IRA.
John Brennan from Texas posted about 1 year ago:
It should be mentioned that there are at least three MLP based stocks that pay stock dividends or cash based on the parent MLP--KMR (KMP), EEQ (EEP), and LNCO (LINE). This means no K-1 and no tax hassels.
Dean Fisher from Texas posted about 1 year ago:
When you sell your MLP does the company provide information on cumulative distributions and adjusted basis or do you have to go back to your K1's from each year of ownership and add it all up? I use Turbotax for my K1's, BTW.
Richard Sturgill from California posted about 1 year ago:
I have been preparing my own taxes since 1991 using TurboTax and its prior versions. I started doing this because when I sent my tax info to my accountant it would be after April 1st each year and he would then request to file an extension in August. So, I got the same software he used and began preparing my own returns on time. He would then review my return and make any corrections if needed then he would file an amended return. I never needed to file an amended return so this has worked well. In a few years I stopped having my accountant review my return. After I file my return, I make a copy of the filed return and use it as a template to estimate the following year's return as the tax data changes such as; deleting the prior year's income, capital gains/losses and dividends then I enter the current year's income, capital gains/losses and dividends. I keep the same K-1 data and deductions from the prior year because it is nearly the same for the following year. When the following year's TurboTax software is released, I transfer all the information from the prior year's return and then use the template to enter the changed data and update the K-1s as they are released. Using this procedure I never have any tax surprises and I always know what my tax situation will be ahead of time.

Having sold KMP, after 10 years, I found the recapture rather ominous. I thought that the reduction in tax base was the long term tax, and that was it. Now, my MLP investments will ride with me to the estate!

Fabulous article. information that needs to be repeated every year or semi annually.
L Woolford from Wyoming posted about 1 year ago:
Based on the above MLP article, I assume that holding a MLP in a Roth IRA avoids the need to process the K-1 through yearly federal and state tax filings.
I make this assumption based on the Roth IRA process that income is tax free as long as the rules are followed (ie after five years, withdrawals are tax free).

K-1 schedules Turbo Tax Business edition generates K-1's (1041) for estates, trusts.
MLP will generate K-1's ( 1065 ) , send them to unit holders in February, March following particular tax year in question. Hence, you need to specify in your question what type of K-1 are you referring? Thanks; john 1/15/2013

If your static water level is 15 feet down from the top, then you don't need that much HP. Something doesn't add up.
Had water the night before, and this yesterday morning I have no water.
Descriptions of Well and House below:
Well switch set @ 30 - 50 psi
static water 15 feet
well depth 240 feet
1.5 HP, 10 GPM pump
Measured voltage all the way to well head, but no AMPs were measured.
The electrical power is shut- off to pump now.
My well pump gave out, or a crimped wire problem?
Questions: Should I pull pump prior to ordering well pump?
Can I pull the pump with a cherry picker (engine hoist)?
I'm sure I will have more questions.
Thanks for your comments, and help.

How old is the pump?
Has it been short cycling against a water logged tank?
Did it trip the breaker?
Probably the pump and / or wire is the problem, but you really need to ohm out the wire between the well & house and then ohm out the wire downhole to see if there are shorts to ground and to determine if there is continuity through the wire & motor. Without ohming out the pump & wire you are shooting in the dark so to speak.
I don't think you want to pull sch 80 with a cherry picker, see if a local plumbing supply house will rent you an Up Z Dazy when you buy the pump & new wire
What would be a good pump size/model? should pump height change?Originally Posted by LLigetfa

Yes, it would cycle on and then off. when the toilet flushed. not sure if the tank was water logged.it been short cycling against a water logged tank?
No, breaker trip.it trip the breaker?
this test is done after I pull out the pump? or do this testing before?the pump and / or wire is the problem, but you really need to ohm out the wire between the well & house and then ohm out the wire downhole to see if there are shorts to ground and to determine if there is continuity through the wire & motor.

You need to ohm the system out with the pump & wire still in the well to get initial readings, then ohm the pump when it's out of the well.
Seven years isn't very old, we pulled a Goulds the other day that has been in since 1986.
If the pump was cycling on & off every time you ran water, the tank is probably water logged. Water logged tanks will eventually kill a pump motor.
I would stay with a 1.5 HP, 10 GPM pump. If the water level pulls down close to 240', you will need the 1.5 HP. Some pumps last longer but, pumps are designed to last 7 years, and most will average this amount of time. If the pump was short cycling, like on/off every time a toilet is flushed, you are lucky it lasted that long. Regular cycling causes the tank bladder to burst, then a waterlogged tank will shortly take out the pump. The overload is in the motor, which is why you can't tell it is tripped. But it you have the correct voltage going to the pump with no amperage, the overload in the motor is tripped, or you have a broken wire down hole. I would ohm it out to make sure, but you probably won't know until you pull it up so you can see what happened.
Estimated electric load based on a 1.5 hp motor, 75 degree insulation, is at approximately 0.785 .
Old pump is 7 years old, and has probably reached it time limit or closed too .
Then, I should order new pump with new well wire, to replace old pump. or should i wait till I pull the old pump and well wire out, and inspected and tested?
Thanks comments, and help.

My thinking, 7 years ago, was at a deeper level, there would be fresher water, and less contaminates.

A Red Lion pump? I'm afraid to ask who sells that...........
You had better get a new tank along with the new pump or you will be pulling the pump again soon. Size the tank so the pump will have at least a one minute run time when it comes on. I prefer two minutes run time.
To promote longer pump life, put a sleeve over the pump to pull water across the motor. Better cooling = longer life.
A 3 wire pump will have no advantages over a 2 wire pump if the lines freeze, you better dig the trench deeper too.
A friend of mine had a Red Lion Submersible Well pump installed last year, he seemed to be happy with the pump and he did mention they use Franklin Motors. Are Red Lion pumps of good quality?

Review Roundup: THE ANARCHIST on Broadway Starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger - All the Reviews!
THE ANARCHIST, a new play written and directed by David Mamet opened tonight on Broadway at the newly refurbished Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street). The production stars two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone and three-time Academy Award nominee Debra Winger (making her Broadway debut). THE ANARCHIST features scenic and costume design by Academy Award winner Patrizia von Brandenstein and lighting design by Tony Award winner Jeff Croiter.
The world premiere production of David Mamet's new play The Anarchist is presented on Broadway by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, and Howard & Janet Kagan.
Let's see what the critics had to say!
Ben Brantley, The New York Times: "Women Behind Bars" it ain't. And Ms. LuPone and Ms. Winger must sink or swim in the thick sea of verbiage into which Mr. Mamet has thrown them. Ms. LuPone, a Mamet veteran, navigates these clotted waters like the freestyle champion she is. Ms. Winger, in her Broadway debut, mostly dog paddles. ... That leaves Ms. LuPone to carry the emotional content of the play all by herself. She does so valiantly and compellingly, and reminds us that this Tony-winning star of musicals is a terrific dramatic actress. In her Cathy you sense the strain of a naturally arrogant woman trying to be humble and, what's more, trying to convince herself that she believes in her humility.
Elysa Gardner, USA Today: Anarchist, which opened Sunday at the Golden Theatre, never explicitly tells us where Cathy is coming from as she makes her case to the one other person on stage: a prison official named Ann, played by Debra Winger, who will decide whether Cathy has earned her freedom. But for an intense, provocative 70 minutes, Mamet, who also directed the production, and LuPone keep us guessing.
David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter: Patti LuPone's conviction onstage is always compelling, but otherwise this dry new David Mamet play is just a wearying lecture.
Mark Kennedy, Associated Press: Running an intermissionless 70 minutes, "The Anarchist" starts in second gear and never really speeds up or slows down, just becomes wave after wave of staccato dialogue that is more pleasant on the page than spoken. No one talks like this and the two actresses struggle to make something unnatural seem natural.
Scott Brown, NY Magazine: David Mamet's austerity program isn't working. Despite a careerlong crusade to streamline theater by sandblasting away its airy effeminacies (like acting and emoting), his latest, The Anarchist, still feels strangely gassy, even at a Spanxed 80 minutes. This despite the best efforts of the author—who's also the director—to dehydrate a life-and-death battle of wills into a stylized white paper.
Jeremy Gerard, Bloomberg News: LuPone and Winger are restrained to the point of somnambulance. Even at just 70 intermissionless minutes, "The Anarchist" is a challenge to sentience.
Elisabeth Vincentelli, NY Post: The entire 70-minute show consists of Cathy's parole-plea meeting, with the two women tossing arguments back and forth. Mamet is slow and stingy in dispensing details, maybe in an attempt to make the encounter a pure philosophical debate.
Joe Dziemianowicz, NY Daily News: Sounds juicy, but sadly it isn't really so, despite the best efforts of Patti LuPone and Debra Winger. Between its structural ambiguity and heady philosophizing, this short, dense and dry drama at the Golden Theatre is often a head-scratcher. It starts abruptly and ends the same way.

From networkminer
The purpose of NetworkMiner is to collect data (such as forensic evidence) about hosts on the network rather than to collect data regarding the traffic on the network. The main view is host centric (information grouped per host) rather than packet centric (information showed as a list of packets/frames). NetworkMiner also comes in very handy when analyzing malware traffic, such as C&C (command-and-control) traffic from a BotNet, since uploaded and downloaded files are extracted to disk.
NetworkMiner performs OS fingerprinting based on TCP SYN and SYN+ACK packet by using OS fingerprinting databases from p0f (by Michal Zalewski) and Ettercap (by Alberto Ornaghi and Marco Valleri). NetworkMiner can also perform OS fingerprinting based on DHCP packets (which usually are broadcast packets) by making use of the Satori (by Eric Kollmann) OS fingerprinting database from FingerBank. NetworkMiner also uses the MAC-vendor list from Nmap (by Fyodor).
NetworkMiner can extract files and certificates transferred over the network by parsing a PCAP file or by sniffing traffic directly from the network. This is a neat function that can be used to extract and save media files (such as audio or video files) which are streamed across a network. Supported protocols for file extraction are FTP, HTTP and SMB.
User credentials (usernames and passwords) for supported protocols are extracted by NetworkMiner and displayed under the "Credentials" tab. Please be considerate when displaying the contents of this tab to the public.
Another very useful feature is that the user can search sniffed or stored data for keywords. NetworkMiner allows the user to insert arbitrary string or byte-patterns that shall be searched for with the keyword search functionality.
Version 0.84 (and newer) of NetworkMiner support sniffing and parsing of WLAN (IEEE 802.11) traffic. NetworkMiner does however currently only support WiFi sniffing with AirPcap adapters.
You can download NetworkMiner packet analyzer here.
Troubleshooting and Bug Reports
Are you experiencing errors or crashes when running NetworkMiner? A common problem is not having .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Please feel free to submit any bugs or instability issues you might experience to the NetworkMiner bug tracker. Requests for new features or new protocols you'd like to see implemented in NetworkMiner can be submitted to the NetworkMiner feature request tracker.

Diabetes Prevalence Outstrips National Growth Rate and MorePosted: Wednesday, August 09, 2006
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a 50% increase in the prevalence of diabetes from 1997 to 2004.
An analysis of data from the National Health Interview surveys has revealed that although the estimated US population increased by approximately 8% during 1997 to 2004, the prevalence of diabetes increased by 50% during this period (10.1 to 15.2 million). The increase in diabetes cases corresponded with a 41% increase in the estimated number of diabetes-related visits to physician offices and hospital outpatient departments.
Moreover, fewer than half of lead health education teachers in the schools had received staff development on nutrition and physical activity within the preceding 2 years.
According to the CDC, studies have indicated that teachers who receive staff development are more likely to effectively cover a broader range of these topics, which have been shown to improve dietary behavior, increase physical activity, reduce sedentary behavior, and decrease the prevalence of overweight among students.
The CDC recommends that health education on nutrition and physical activity topics be included in schools as part of a coordinated program that includes healthy meal and snack choices; a physical education program based on recommendations from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education in Moving Into the Future: National Standards for Physical Education; opportunities for safe and enjoyable physical activity; school health services and counseling regarding dietary behavior and physical activity; and a health promotion program for school staff members.

Probability and Statistics GroupThe Probability and Statistics group comprises 17 members of staff: 9 in Probability (Bagley, Denisov, Doney, Jin, Loeffen, Moriarty, Peskir, van Schaik, Zhang), 8 in Statistics (Boshnakov, Charalambous, Donev, Foster, Nadarajah, Pan, Tso, Yuan) and 2 of whom research at the interface between Probability and Actuarial Science (Loeffen and van Schaik). The group has successful research collaborations with many groups in the UK and worldwide, including Aarhus, Angers, Beijing, Bielefield, Canberra, Copenhagen, Debrecen, Heidelberg, Groningen, Kaiserslautern, Kiev, Kyoto, Lausanne, Moscow, Oslo, Paris, Stockholm, Tampere, Tokyo, Uppsala and Utrecht. The group has also significant interdisciplinary collaborations at Manchester with the Biostatistics Group at the Manchester Medical School, the Manchester Royal Infirmary and the Manchester Business School. The group has an international reputation for its research with 20% of its activity rated `world leading' and a further 35% of its activity rated `internationally excellent' in the RAE 2008 .
The Probability subgroup has made numerous and significant contributions to the theory of random walks and Levy processes; Brownian motion and diffusion processes; Markov, branching and point processes; random fields; Dirichlet forms; stochastic analysis; stochastic differential equations; stochastic partial differential equations; stochastic calculus; optimal stopping; and optimal stochastic control. The Probability subgroup is internationally recognised for its research in these areas and their applications.

Disagreement on several key issues have prompted a proposed loosening of the voting requirements on issues that come before the flood board to avoid future stalemates.
To this point, a unanimous vote has been needed to approve any item that comes before the flood project board, which is comprised of two representatives from Sparks, Reno and Washoe County. No matter how small or large the issue — from approving major construction all the way down to approval of an agenda — all six members had to agree.
Despite many unanimous votes over the past several years, recent stalemates prompted some flood board members to seek a change in procedure. Deputy district attorney Greg Salter was asked by some members of the board to put together a proposal to change the unanimous requirement to a 5-1 "supermajority" for certain important issues — such as taking on debt or levying fees — and a simple majority for others. This proposal already has been approved by Sparks and Washoe County, but last week Reno leaders requested some changes, which were approved Monday by county commissioners but which Sparks council members will review and discuss with the city's lawyers.
Ron Smith, who sits on the Sparks City Council and is chairman of the flood project board, said the change is needed to break gridlock and get progress moving again.
"We've got to move forward," Smith said. "We're stuck."
The main issue that is "stuck" is the approval of a contract for the project's new executive director, Jay Aldean. A contract was proposed at the board's Feb. 22 meeting but was not voted on after City Councilman Dave Aiazzi, one of Reno's two representatives on the flood board, raised concerns over its terms. Aiazzi said the contract for a new director of the project should be shorter — perhaps six months instead of two years — and have clearly defined performance requirements.
The issue of the director's contract has been debated since October and until it is approved, the project cannot receive about $20 million in county funds.
Smith said Aiazzi's contract proposal was unacceptable because it contained a $10 million earmark for Reno to rebuild the Virginia Street bridge, a project that is several years away from starting, Smith said.
On Monday, Aiazzi said the change of voting requirements is less important than other issues. For example, he is concerned that the flood project lacks focus. Aiazzi said a defined list of flood control projects and their costs does not exist, despite having already spent $100 million on work and land acquisitions.
"With all the money we've spent on consultants you'd think we'd have (a list) by now," he said.
He also thinks that if the voting requirements change, the makeup of the flood board should change. Representation on the flood project board should be proportional to how many residents are affected by flooding, he said, pointing to comparable entities such as the Truckee Meadows Water Authority and Regional Transportation Commission. Sparks has one representative on the RTC, he said, and TMWA only has one county member because of how the constituencies are affected by each board's actions.
"I don't know why flood control is different than these other entities," Aiazzi said."
Changing the voting requirements is a distraction from these larger problems, Aiazzi argues.
"They're trying to portray the board as not working and not talk about substantive issues," he said.
Also on the list of larger problems is flood project funding from the Army Corps of Engineers. Officials have been lobbying the corps to assist with flood project funding, competing with many other projects around the nation. Aiazzi said he visited with corps staff in Sacramento, Calif. to try and get a clearer picture of where the Truckee River project stood in terms of securing funds.
According to Smith, the corps has already spent $40 million to study the Truckee River flood project and found that it does not meet its targeted costs savings ratio. Smith said the corps looks for projects that will save $3.50 in flood damage for every dollar spent on prevention. The Truckee River project's ratio currently stands about $1.20 saved for every dollar spent. At this point, any federal funds for the local flood project will have to be secured with the help of Nevada's representatives in Washington, Smith said.
Aiazzi said the corps wants to change the flood project to a "50-year plan," which would mean removing some portions of the desired work. While this cuts out much of the flood prevention work that would help downtown Reno, Aiazzi said he supports the 50-year plan because it would be "better than nothing."

But when it comes to quality of life issues in the state, we've become more complacent. Maybe because it's harder to keep score.
For the last 24 years the Annie E. Casey foundation has offered help with that by publishing the annual Kids Count Data Book. It's a compilation of records, facts and figures for 16 quality of life indicators for all 50 states, with the focus on issues that affect children. Voices for Alabama's Children, a child advocacy organization, is the home of the Kids Count project in our state.
This year's report, released this week, shows the state has improved slightly, relative to other states — from 45th place overall last year to 44th — so there has been progress. The report points out where improvements have been made and where ground has been lost. It's up to the people of each state to take note and take action. New Hampshire earned the highest overall ranking this year.
The report focuses on four "domains" of well-being, and gives a sub-ranking for each one.
Alabama's ranking for Health saw the biggest improvement, jumping up from Number 41 last year to 35. That takes into account improvements in the number of low birthweight babies, children without health insurance, child and teen deaths and teens who abuse alcohol or drugs. The state improved on all four counts over last year, but still had a higher than average death rate – 37 per 100,000 compared to 26 nationally. Maine was ranked the top state for health.
Economic Well-Being in Alabama ranks 40th, up two positions from last year, but still in the bottom fourth of the country. One of the factors measured is the rate of children living in poverty. In our state, that number 28 percent, compared to a national average of 23 percent. North Dakota, the top state on the list, has a 15 percent rate.
The state was unchanged on the remaining two rankings.
Education remained the same at 44th, with 69 percent of fourth-graders not proficient in reading, and a whopping 80 percent of eighth-graders not proficient in math. The national average is 66 percent. Massachusetts led the nation with 49 percent.
Family and Community issues made up the fourth domain, where the state is ranked 44th, same as last year. In two measures the state did slightly worse, with higher rates of children in single parent families and children living in high poverty areas. There are improvements in the number of household heads with high school diplomas, and the state saw a 6 percent decline in teen births to 44 per 1,000 — but that's still 10 births per 1,000 above the national average. In New Hampshire, the top-ranked state for the category, there is a rate of 16 births per 1,000 teens.
The complete report can be downloaded, free of charge, from kidscount.org.
Our state has made creeping progress during the years the report has been issued, rising from 48th, 47th and 46th place rankings to this year's 44th ranking. At least the movement is in the right direction, but we're still in the bottom fourth in all four domains measured.
We commend those involved in producing the report, which is a very useful guide to understanding some of weaknesses we face as a state and a nation. We're pleased to see the improvements that have been made. But our football teams refuse to settle for being less than the best — we hope our state's leadership will do the same.

Those on a budget might be surprised to learn just how much laptop you can get for less than $500 these days. You can expect a very capable dual-core Intel Core i3 or AMD A6 processor, at least 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. In other words, you'll have plenty of horsepower to run Windows 8 smoothly.

Either way, you'll enjoy good sound and ergonomic comfort for a great price.

My 10 year-old desk top is dying and I had no idea where to begin to find information on laptops. I stumbled on to your site and so appreciative of the reviews and comments. I've managed to narrow my choices to only 4! That's a great accomplishment for me.
It makes me wonder your motivation when given 8 slots to fill you only mention two brands …. are you getting paid to have this oppion then?
Your choice of ONLY two name brands makes me trust PC mag more. But thanks anyway.
HP, Dell, ASUS, Toshiba = 4 brands.
And people wonder why I left the US for my PhD- no one back home believes my building is closed on Sundays and you can't go in!
Everyone loves cheap, and everyone wants equipment that does not slow them down. This is why this blog is great, as it lists 8 laptops that come under both of the above categories. These 8 laptops by HP offers great performance and all of them are under £500.
Top 6 laptops for paupers.
I'm looking though I haven't gotten anything, the Samsung Chromebook Series 3 is really cheap and there is no mentioning of the ram or memory. What could this mean?
You are trying to find the TOP 6 so if there is a shortage on brands thats because the best spots are clear. Its like asking for the fastest overall coolest cars and then getting upset if they say Lamborghini or Ferrari.
I bought my Lenovo laptop in March, 2013 for $445 total from a Staples special. It has a 3rd generation i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, 700GB hard drive and many other nice features. I got it with coupons Deal of the Day type thing from PC Magazine site referral. So there was an extra coupon serial code beyond the large Staples discount. It's an excellent laptop. Of course, on most of these laptops you can add the 4 GB to get 8 GM but why bother, if you can buy one that comes with it already.
i hope they were using windows 7 for non touchscreen laptop, well whatever
Who cares about your PHD. Who cares about how many brands. You f@cktards need to get a life and stop whining.
Jennifer looks a lot better from the neck up.

New Visuals from Rapsody…Check it:
New Visuals from Rapsody…Check it:
As a long time EPMD fan, I was ready for this solo album. Sure, the break up of my favorite rap group hurt like hell…still…I was like a basehead switching dealers… "What your sh*t feel like?" Needless to say I was a little disappointed. It wasn't the same "high". Production wise? This album was hot, and the lead single was what had me foaming at the mouth with anticipation. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. Never the less, this was a classic record for me. Even if it was based on unbelievable hype. This week's Re-Release was Erick Sermon's "Stay Real". Watch him go hard on the "Evander Holyfield" boxing game from Sega Genesis. Lol!
"When EPMD finally unravelled after months of rumors and internal turmoil, Erick Sermon wasted no time grabbing the mike. He's quite obsessed with proving he can cut it alone, although his self-titled debut didn't move far from EPMD's trademarks: fat, crunching basslines, neatly inserted samples lifted mainly from Zapp, tight vocal edits, and Sermon's mush-mouthed, deadpan raps. His targets included condoms, sexual warfare, hip-hop groupies, and would-be rap challengers. While this contains the obligatory "bitches" and "niggas" references, there's not as much gun worship as you might expect. No Pressure is as much, if not more, EPMD's final release as Erick Sermon's debut." – Allmusic.com

I've always been an on again off again Wrestling fan. In recent years, I've followed more closely and realized that there is a very passionate fan base. That fan base is actually what keeps me interested. The history, the stories, the rumors. It's all become somewhat fascinating to me. So fascinating, that I bought a subscription to the WWE Network.
Last night was the 30 year anniversary of Wrestlemania. It's hard to imagine this is still a big event 30 years later but I watched with all the anticipation in the world. All of the fuel fed from die hard fans on the Internet. The Undertaker, who I couldn't believe still wrestled when I resumed watching back in 2010, was 21-0 at Wrestlemania last night. Never lost a match, until last night. Fans were stunned, upset, confused and all of the above.
(Here comes the Hip-Hop) So this got me thinking… damn hip hop is wack now. Are the artist wack? Not all of them. The passion that those fans showed last night (and probably will all week) is lost in the Hip-Hop world. In wrestling, they have appropriate names for their eras. I feel these names mirror Hip-Hop eras as well. Let's see:
There's the Golden Era. That's the Hulk Hogan and Macho Man era. In Hip-Hop, that without a doubt is the late 80s. 1988 in particular. KANE, SLICK RICK, RAKIM, BDP… You get the point.
Then there is the Attitude Era. That's The Rock and Stone Cold era. In hip-hop, that has to be the 90s Death Row, Pac, Nas, Biggie, The Wu, etc. You get the point.
And then there is today, The PG Era. That's John Cena and…. Yeah, basically. (I do like CM Punk though). For Hip-Hop? Well, that's easy. Drake, Lil Wayne, and a million throw away artist.
The difference between those eras is content and fans. The Golden Era was new and exciting. The Attitude Era was about evolution, revolution… and it was just waaaaayy better than the Golden Era. Somewhat a Golden Era 2. The PG era though? It's cool, but no one really cares. People debate. Good things happen and bad things happen. When bad things happen, you lose fans. When good things happen, you don't get new ones.
I look at the end of The Undertaker's streak the same way I look at a wack Jay Z or Nas album. It's the end of an era, and some fans stick around out of passion for the culture…. And others will move on. Are you still passionate about Hip-Hop Music?
Good music all around. Hip-Hop ain't dead. Word. Just my thoughts… Here's what I'm currently rocking:
Schoolboy Q "Oxymoron"
"One of the best of the year. Word. No, I don't feel it's better than GKMC. It's different. It's gangsta. It's lyrical. It's quirky at times. Just a solid release. Love what them boys over at T.D.E. are doing. Keep it coming. Cop that! "
CyHi The Prynce "Black Hystori Project"
"I was late on this one. Dope mixtape. He has messages with some tracks, but there are other tracks that contradict those messages. Hip-Hop, unfortunately, can be like that sometimes. Still a dope release, and one of the best of the year. Word. Check for it. "
Isaiah Rashad "Cilvia Demo"
" This another one I slept on. S/O to the homey Ahk. Solid release. Dope beats and rhymes. His flow and confidence compliment the tracks well.I'm feeling the drive behind some of the young dudes in the game."
Fabolous "Soul Tape 3"
" Still knocking this one from time to time. One can only hope that Fab's next album, Loso's Way 2, will be this good. Nice variety of tracks and well placed features on this mixtape. Check it out. "
The Alchemist "The Cutting Room Floor 3"
"Like I said before, these throwaways are better than dudes hard work albums. It just bangs from start to finish. Alchemist is a beast. Still going strong in my rotation. Get this! "
Damn shame a lot of "hip-hop fans" haven't heard this album. It's a damn shame that a lot of hip-hop naysayers haven't heard this album. It's the penalty for being the thing that people say doesn't exist in rap music anymore. Watch the video and know that the album has an even greater message. This week's Re-Release is Pharoahe Monch's "Black Hand Side".
"With the 2011 release of his third album, W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), rapper Pharoahe Monch halved the eight-year wait fans endured between his first and second efforts. This strong, satisfying, often stunning third release proves he can deliver the goods under this tighter release schedule, and when listening to lyrics that are topical for 2011 ("Calculated Amalgamation" is inspired by the recent Egyptian revolution), one begins to wonder if it's been three years off for Monch, and then one very strong year back on. Whatever the process, W.A.R. is worth it, chock-full of those wickedly smart Monch lines ("Even my reflection disrespects you like a freshman during hazing") and Armageddon productions from the likes of M-Phazes, Diamond D, and Samiyam. These beats seem generally as mad and driven as the man himself, although "The Grand Illusion" with Citizen Cope adds some alternative rock to the mix while the closer, "Still Standing," is as elegant and soulful as its guest, Jill Scott. The socially concerned singles "Shine" and "Clap (One Day)" make for a decent intro, even if they are best heard in context, as this conceptually sound album uses linking dialog and a sensible running order to guide listeners through Monch's war story." – Allmusic.com
Word? So the Wu recorded a secret double album that will tour with them in some big a$$ safe or something… And will eventually go to the highest bidder? Oh, and it's the only copy? No disrespect but ODB must be rolling in his grave. Remember, "Puffys cool but Wu-tang is for the kids…"
Well, this album will be for the kid with the richest daddy. I understand artist need to make money by any means possible but damn. Most of the fans won't be able to bid on this. I wonder if there are stipulations attached to this purchase. Can you distribute it? Royalties for Wu Members? No? Would it be more lucrative to just release it. Are the Wu Trolling us?
Who knows. One of the reasons they would take this approach is because the internet gets everything. Like Jay Z, Nipsey Hussell, and even Beyoncé… Maybe they just trying to get they money up front. I'll tell you one thing, I want THAT album more than the one that's being released to the public.
