405 Freeway Tagged With 'R.I.P. Osama'
Not everyone in the Southland was popping champagne, flying flags out the sunroof and swapping Obama's the Man memes following last night's triumphant news from Washington -- that al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden had officially been eradicated from the face of the Earth. (Woot woot! Proud to be an Amurrican.)
But another Orange County someone, instead of Tweeting or blogging or however the kids are supposed to react to the national news item of the decade, took to defacing a freeway barrier with his (or her!) confusing, possibly pro-terrorist agenda.
Look what showed up as the sun rose over the 405 this morning:
The tag stretched 50 feet across the freeway barrier, located "just south of Springdale." For the rest of the photos, see the Orange County Register's slideshow.

The Register and the Los Angeles Times called the tags a "memorial," interpreting the message as supportive of the terrorist leader's "un-American" tendencies.
But we're not so sure: Might the tagger just have been trying to tell Osama to "Rest in Peace Forever" -- as in, don't even think about coming back? And couldn't the upside-down flag have been calling him out for his un-American-ness instead of backing it?
Whatever the numbskull's intentions, the Register quickly spotted the "art" and posted photos, at which time morning commuters began to take offense and report the filth to the CHP.
"We investigate graffiti regardless of the content," CHP officer Denise Quesada tells the Weekly, adding that it's not her place to judge what the tagger meant. Vandalism is vandalism, hateful or not.
However, at this time, "I don't believe we have any leads," she says.
What do you think it means? Do we have a member of the brotherhood lurking right here beneath our noses in SoCal -- or is this just some dude with sloppy grammar?

Here are the myths and truths about pet food
Published: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 1:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 1:08 p.m.
In her best-selling food industry exposés "What to Eat" and "Food Politics," Marion Nestle taught the nation how to shop smarter at the supermarket. Now the New York University nutrition professor and Chronicle Food Matters columnist has teamed with animal nutrition expert Malden C. Nesheim to examine the $18 billion pet food industry in "Feed Your Pet Right: The Authoritative Guide to Feeding Your Dog and Cat" (Simon & Schuster; $16.99).
Make your own
Homemade Dog Food
From "Feed Your Pet Right," by Marion Nestle and Malden C. Nesheim (Simon and Schuster; $16.99). This recipe, adapted from guidelines in "Small Animal Clinical Nutrition" (2000), feeds one 40-pound dog. Amounts should be adjusted to the size, age and condition of the animal.
8 ounces cooked grains (rice, cornmeal, oatmeal, pasta and other grains and cereals)
4 ounces cooked meat (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, fish)
2 teaspoons fat (beef fat, chicken fat, vegetable oil, olive oil, fish oil)
1 ounce raw or cooked vegetables
1 teaspoon bone meal (or dicalcium phosphate supplement, see Note)
1/4 teaspoon potassium chloride supplement (salt substitute)
1 human adult daily multi-vitamin, multi-mineral tablet
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and serve.
Note: Bone meal supplement is available at California Veterinary Supply, www.calvetsupply.com.
Homemade Cat Food
This recipe, adapted from guidelines in "Small Animal Clinical Nutrition" (2000), feeds one 10-pound cat. Amounts should be adjusted to the size, age and condition of the animal.
2 ounces cooked grains (rice, cornmeal, oatmeal, pasta and other grains and cereals)
1-1/2 ounces cooked meat (beef, lamb, pork chicken, turkey, fish)
2 teaspoons fat (beef fat, chicken fat, vegetable oil, olive oil, fish oil)
1/4 teaspoon bone meal (or dicalcium phosphate supplement, see Note)
1/4 teaspoon sodium chloride/potassium chloride (lite salt)
1/2 human adult daily multi-vitamin, multi-mineral tablet, crushed
1/8 teaspoon taurine supplement
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and serve.
Note: Bone meal and taurine supplements are available at California Vet Supply, www. calvetsupply.com.
Their research-based work examines the politics, marketing and science behind pet food, and offers pet owners advice on how best to feed America's 172 million cats and dogs. She recently visited The Chronicle's test kitchen, where canine tasters wolfed down an easy-to-prepare recipe from the book.
Question: This book began when you couldn't understand the ingredients on pet food labels?
Answer: I couldn't! I was in a supermarket in Ithaca (N.Y.), and the pet food aisle was 120 feet long. I was stunned by the amount of real estate devoted to it. This had to be some huge industry, and it surprised me because I didn't think dogs and cats had taken over the world. I looked at the label and it didn't make any sense at all: stuff about guaranteed analysis, profiles and health claims all over it. We gathered all the books we could find on feeding pets, and they were so dogmatic — saying you have to feed your pet this one way and everything else was poison. They were enormously contradictory, and none seemed to be based on actual research.
Question: Is it in the best interest of the pet food industry to confuse us?
Answer: Of course — they are selling products that are inexpensive to make and profitable to sell, and all they have to do is convince pet owners if they don't use their products, they are making a big mistake.
They would prefer you don't think about what's in there — the byproducts of human food products. There are billions of pounds of leftover parts of cows, pigs, chickens and sheep after they are slaughtered for human consumption, and something has to be done with it or it will be wasted. One way is to feed it to dogs and cats. They don't care what part of the animal it comes from.
Question: Give us a cheat sheet. What should we look for on the label?
Answer: If you want one-stop shopping that meets all the nutritional needs of your cat or dog, look for the words "complete and balanced" on the package. That's code for meeting all the nutritional standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) — the non-regulatory agency that sets the pet food standards.
Next is the ingredient list. Our rule of thumb is to check the first five ingredients; after that, the ingredients are so small, they do not amount to much. The first five should be real foods — not wheat gluten or something that doesn't sound like real food. A lot have meat byproducts in them that are quite nutritious, but a lot of people think they are disgusting.
Beyond that, if you are concerned about the quality and interested in organic, seasonal and locally grown, you can find a commercial pet food that meets those standards, but typically you will pay more.
Question: Is there some truth to the claims that some foods are for aging pets, puppies, weight loss, organic, premium?
Answer: You can pretty much trust it the way you can human food labeling. There will be cheats every now and then.
Question: Is price an indicator of quality?
Answer: We were rather surprised by what we found. We bought a collection of chicken dinners for pets that were all premium brands, which is a code for higher price. We compared the first five ingredients, the health claims and price, and although the ingredients were all the same, there was a threefold increase in price. So there's some heavy marketing going on here. The word "premium" has no regulatory meaning, so you have to read what's in the product.
Question: What are the main things we are doing wrong when it comes to feeding our pets?
Answer: Overfeeding.
Question: Should we just be cooking for our pets?
Answer: People who do say it is healthier. One of the funniest things we found was a big clinical research book for cats and dogs put out by Hills Co. that had a very long chapter about how dangerous it is to cook for your pets, then it gave generic recipes for cat and dog food that were easy to follow. We put the recipes in our book!
Question: Since the invention of commercial pet food, is there any evidence that pets are healthier or living longer? Or the opposite?
Answer: We were curious what did people do before commercial pet food. But there was little information and an astonishing lack of research about pet life spans. In the last 10 years, there's been some preliminary evidence that life spans of dogs and cats have increased a little bit, but I wouldn't want to push that too hard. There's certainly evidence that pets are not doing any worse since commercial pet food was invented.
Question: The top five pet food companies control 80 percent of the market — who is regulating them?
Answer: All of those five companies are also either human food companies or consumer product companies. Governing them is a complicated regulatory system comprised of the (Food and Drug Administration's) Center for Veterinary Medicine, AAFCO and states. States have their own rules, AAFCO sets models it wishes all states would follow but about half do, and the FDA regulation is minimal. But that's changing.
Question: Is that because of the pet food recalls in 2007 that were traced to melamine in China?
Answer: Yes, it made everyone realize we only have one food supply — and it feeds humans, pets and farm animals. If we have a problem with pet food, then there will likely be a problem with all food. Sure enough, melamine showed up in baby formula in China and in a lot of products that were supposed to be containing milk. We need a food-safety system covering the whole thing, and the FDA is not unsympathetic to that approach. We need food labels on pet food that we can read, and calorie counts should be on them.
Question: What foods are deadly to pets?
Answer: Raisins, grapes or macadamia nuts, onions, garlic and chocolate. Little amounts really won't do any harm; it's pounds that causes problems.
Question: If you want to cook for your pet, how do you do it properly?
Answer: Follow a recipe.
Question: On your book tour, what are the most common questions people have?
Answer: A lot of questions about poop and how to keep the amount down — all these people in Manhattan apartments want to know. I tell them feed a high-premium, low-residue product with not much fiber in it. PetCo even has a sign showing the poop size comparisons using these kinds of products.

A Skilled Comrade is Needed.Journal Entry: Sun Nov 11, 2012, 2:48 PM
Dear comrades of the CPDA,
To cover a less important topic from our agenda today:
We are looking for a comrade who is skilled/experienced with CSS Journal skins. While we have managed to put a skin together for this journal, it obviously could use coding for appropriate sizing and effect.
If any comrades have sufficient knowledge of how to create quality journal skins, please leave a comment below. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
in solidarity,
A Skilled Comrade is Needed. by communismWatch
©2012-2016 communism
Wish I could help, comrade. But I'm still learning HTML, much less CSS. Hope you find somebody, though.
I am not that good but not terrible at all. I am going to get more people.
Are you familiar with creating a DeviantART journal skin?
Not so much, but I do know people who really are.
You want me to get them?
You want me to get them?
Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. While it would be nice if we could find someone within the Party for this project, I would gladly accept help outside of our organization as well.

Repeat performance
Vandebilt wins second consecutive Division II boys state soccer championship
Published: Sunday, March 5, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 5, 2006 at 1:12 a.m.
GONZALES -- In his last high school soccer match, Gordon Blum wanted to go out in style for Vandebilt Catholic.
And in the Division II boys state championship soccer match against East Ascension, Blum did that, and more.
Blum scored five goals to lead the Terriers to their sixth state championship -- their second consecutive and third title in the last four seasons.
Vandebilt ends its season with a 21-3-3 record. East Ascension ended its season with a 14-12-2 record.
After the match, an excited Vandebilt coach Doug Hamilton reflected on the Terriers performance throughout the match.
"It was a dominant performance -- not because of the score," Hamilton said. "We just werent going to be denied."
Blum scored his first goal in the 23rd minute on a 20-yard solo shot that hit the upper left corner of the goal before going into the net.
"(Vandebilt assistant) Coach Phillip Amedee thought Gordon would break out. His first goal tonight set the tone. It was such a pretty goal. The individual skills that went into it made it great."
Elliot Lewis scored Vandebilts second goal to give them a 2-0 lead. Lewis scored off of a header shot from Rick Beebe.
In the 45th minute, Ben Pontiff scored to give the Terriers a 4-0 lead.
Blum scored again in the 68th, 74th and 80th minutes of the match to extend the Terriers lead to 7-0.
Herman Lambert scored the Terriers final goal on an 18-yard shot in the 82nd minute.
"Vandebilt is an outstanding team," East Ascension coach Rueben Ruiz said. "We were missing a couple of starters. We gave them all we could, but obviously it wasnt enough."
For the match, the Terriers outshot East Asension 30-15.
Vandebilt goalkeeper Ryan Porche collected seven saves, while East Ascensions Roy Moore had 12 saves.

Khalil Hartwell is convinced miracles can happen.
After all, the 6-foot-8 Philly-bred forward for the Chattanooga Mocs considers his current plight to be somewhat of a miracle. He has gone from a playground basketball vagabond who caught the eye of a coach at a prep school that closed down after an NCAA investigation to a starter on an NCAA tourney team.
There's more. Hartwell is on schedule to graduate in August with a degree in criminal justice, and his first sampling of March Madness will take place in his hometown at the Wachovia Center, where a proud band of family and friends will form his little cheering section.

It started with the Vault Keeper. It was resparked by Rick Grimes years later. In between and all around has been Matt Murdock.
I write in my spare time, so I set up my site to feature some writing. To promote the writing, I joined Twitter. I met a stack of people on Twitter which landed me the gig writing comic gonzo at The Weekly Crisis (weeklycrisis.com). Through all of that, I started thoughtballoons (thought-balloons.com), a comic scripting exercise site. Soon after, I slipped my foot in the CBR door. It's been a long journey from fictional to factual writer but I still wear both hats, at times.
I'm the bronzed Aussie of the CBR experience. If you think that means I look like Chris Hemsworth then feel free to ignore the image posted here. I've lived in one of the poorest areas of Australia and now live in the capital. To experience the rest of the world I utilise the Internet. I pay the bills by primary school teaching and my wife and very young son thank me for periodically dedicating time to being an Assistant Principal. One day writing will give me enough money to retire, at the moment it pays for all my comics with change.

This comic is about the new mob crusher who moonlights as a housewife, or vice versa. A dominant, and true, role has yet to truly be decided upon. The debut was solid with an interesting tone, but it missed a slight hook to the narrative. This issue is the opportunity to capitalize, but it is sadly lost.
Seeing major killing expeditions plotted by a particular and smart housewife makes for a fun comic. Itâs a great pitch, and there are hints that it will then develop into a story. So far, Blood has blown up some bad guys and there are hints of more to come. Itâs all pretty standard except for her plain and thus mildly amusing attention to detail and wanting to be good at her job. Ennis uses her inner voice to juxtapose the violent tale and the pairing is good, if still a little thin.
Sometimes you just have to assume Ennis writes in these shadowy worlds because he likes writing degenerates. He likes to vent the impure filth from his mind. However, that doesnât mean itâs always pleasant to read. The obscenities here barely mean anything, and you certainly arenât asked to empathize with any of the mobsters, but it would be nice if the comic didnât toe the line of reading like Ennis fanfic. Itâs vulgar but not to really propel anything forward other than its adult rating.
Batistaâs art, while on tone in the first issue, feels inconsistent here. Certain pages feel polished while others are scratchy. Ultimately, he hits the depravity well. In an Ennis comic like this, thatâs going to be the most important thing.
This comic would be alright if we didnât already get all this last week. This is just more of our titular character taking out some more mob goons. While that wasnât too bad in the first issue, the title needs to elevate its aims if itâs going to capitalize on a cool premise and turn it into a good story. If not, we get some standard and good enough crime horror but nothing spectacular.

Explore, Enjoy and Protect the Planet
Video: Another Tar Sands Disaster
ExxonMobil is doing everything it can to deflect attention from Mayflower, Arkansas, ever since the company's pipeline spill on March 29 spewed 85,000 gallons of tar sands crude into the community. The company even managed to get a no-fly zone established over the town. But it's not managing to hide the truth: tar sand pipelines are disasters waiting to happen. Watch this video of tar sands crude flowing through the streets of Mayflower. The public comment period on the far more massive Keystone XL tar sands pipeline ends April 22.
Tell President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry to reject Keystone XL!
The Sierra Club is hosting hundreds of events around the country to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet this Earth Month, from service trips to art walks to tree-plantings to tours of nature preserves to fishing, backpacking, and biking trips. You can also attend conferences, seminars, potlucks, coffeehouse get-togethers, film screenings, and more.

Don't Frack with California
The Sierra Club and the Center for Biological Diversity won a landmark victory on April 8 when a federal judge ruled that federal authorities broke the law when they failed to consider the environmental impacts of fracking before they leased 2,700 acres of public land in Monterey and Fresno counties to oil and gas drillers. "The court recognized that fracking is different from the oil and gas development that California has known thus far," said Sierra Club attorney Nathan Matthews. "Fracking and modern unconventional production have changed the game."
Ask President Obama to protect our public lands and communities from fracking.

No More Deepwater Horizons
Three years ago this week, one of the worst environmental disasters in our nation's history occurred when an explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 people and gushed millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. But despite numerous recent disasters -- from Shell's rig running ashore in Alaska to ExxonMobil's pipeline spill in Arkansas last month -- Big Oil wants to double down on more dangerous drilling in the Arctic and off our coasts, as well as build the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Tell President Obama we need to protect our communities, coasts, and public lands from dangerous oil and gas drilling and spills.

Chicago Mom Wins Goldman Prize
Kimberly Wasserman, a 35-year-old mother of three from Chicago, is the North American recipient of the 2013 Goldman Environmental Prize, the world's largest prize honoring grassroots environmental activists. A Chicana born and raised less than a mile from the dirty, aging Crawford coal plant, Wasserman spent 15 years organizing her community, helping create the Chicago Clean Power Coalition -- of which the Sierra Club is a member -- and advocating for Crawford and the nearby Fisk coal plant to be retired. Her efforts were rewarded when both plants ceased operations in the fall of 2012.

Keep Yosemite Wild
Yosemite is one of the Sierra Club's greatest legacies and a beloved and world-renowned wild place. But the future of this American treasure is at risk. The National Park Service is drafting a plan that will restore and protect the park after years of vehicle congestion and poorly planned development. But anti-environmental factions who want to see more development in Yosemite are fighting back. The public comment period on the new management plan ends this Thursday, April 18.
Tell the National Park Service to protect and restore the Yosemite Valley and the Merced wild and scenic river.
Rolling Stone Tips Hat to Brune
Rolling Stone magazine has named Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune as one of its New Green Heroes, characterizing him as a "sober, strategic environmentalist" who has made his mark mixing antagonistic direct action and good faith negotiation. "Confrontation combined with a commitment to find solutions can be transformative," Brune told the magazine after zip-tying himself to the White House gates to provoke President Obama to aggressively confront the climate crisis. "People can take action as consumers and voters. They can take action through civil disobedience. What we want is for people to be a part of this movement and do something."
Club Is on White House Radar
The Sierra Club made its presence known at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue last week. Second Lady Jill Biden promoted the Month of the Military Child on the White House blog, citing the Sierra Club's role in sponsoring the Celebration of the Military Child Outdoors and linking (twice) to our website. Three days later, New Jersey Chapter volunteer leader Gregory Auriemma was honored by the White House as a "Champion of Change," prompting a shout-out from fellow Jersey Shore native Michael Brune.

Yes it does.
It is the title of a famous film based on a novel published in 1965. I am not aware of any prior or more general usage of the phrase.
From this it also suggests alterations in human behaviour when subjected to long periods of unaccustomed heat; shortness of temper, heightened emotions.
In Dutch, you have 'in de HOLST' of the night, meaning the time between about 1.30 and 3.30. Might there be some etymological connection between this 'holst' and 'heat', possibly via descendants of Dutch immigrants into the USA?

I'm using the Atahualpa theme.
It's difficult to use when you're used to hand coding.
I need to add a 3rd sidebar to the right, but have no idea where I should stick the code.
I'm using the Atahualpa theme.
It's difficult to use when you're used to hand coding.
I need to add a 3rd sidebar to the right, but have no idea where I should stick the code.
Atahualpa allows for special widget areas ... and their help forum is full of ideas for doing things like this ... the link to their forum is near the top of their options page.
Yes, but it's paid support.
I looked and looked, but I couldn't find it.
There has to be a simple trick to it, but you can't hand code anything. With Atahualpa you have to find what stupid little box it goes in and God forbid you get it wrong.
The forum is back to free support for all but still has Gold and Diamond forums for added features. And yes you could just ad a 3 celled widget area to a text widget which would give you three sidebars. See ATO>Add New Widget Areas for instructions and syntax.
Thank you.
I went to ATO>Add New Widget Areas
It told me to put the code here: Style & edit CENTER COLUMN: Put the code into ANY of the text areas EXCEPT the first one, named "Center column style".
I go there and the ONLY text area is: "Center column style" LOL
Then it tells you to hard code it into the index file.
*Sigh* You know, all I really want to do is take the template I have {{ http://stuckathomemom.com/ }} and make the first post a full post and all the posts after that an excerpt.
I think the only way I'm going to get Atahualpa to works is to go back several version.
But I shall check out the forum again, thank you.
You can put the new widget code in a text widget you put in the sidebar. That will give you as many sidebars as you want.

Associated Press
BERLIN — Head to the checkout at an Ikea in Stockholm to pay for your new leather corner sofa and with the swipe of a Visa card it's yours. Don't try that in Berlin — that'll be (euro) 1,699 ($2,080) up front please.
It's that financial culture — a deep-seated aversion to debt and an emphasis on responsibility — that makes Chancellor Angela Merkel's hardline approach to solving the European financial crisis so popular in Germany.
The attitude shows up in all walks of life, from the daily trip to the grocery store to putting a roof over your head.
The economy is so reliant on cash for transactions small and big, a way to ensure you don't spend more than you have, that Germany pushed hard for the (euro) 500 note to replace its popular 1,000 mark bill when it joined the common currency.
It's one of the largest denomination notes being produced anywhere today, worth around $600, and is even known in neighboring France as "the German note." While even discount supermarkets in Germany happily take the (euro) 500, very few shops in France will accept the bill.
Even though Germany is Europe's largest economy and one of its richest per head, it is last in home ownership with just over 40 percent. That compares to some 80 percent in troubled EU nations like Greece, Italy and Spain, and around 70 percent in Britain and the United States, where owning your own home is part of the "American Dream."
Germans tend to be instinctively averse to taking out a mortgage. And lenders often demand a 20 percent down payment on a house or substantial collateral. So a culture has sprung up of just renting and holding on to cash.
When mortgage debt shot up by more than 20 percent in the 27-nation European Union between 1998 and 2010 — and more than 35 percent in Britain and 60 percent in Ireland — Germany was the only EU nation to see it fall, with a drop of 5.4 percent in that time period, according to the European Mortgage Federation.
The German aversion to debt also translates to credit card use — or non-use. Only 36 percent of Germans older than 15 even possess a card, compared with 62 percent in the United States, according to World Bank figures. And even when Germans do have a card, the limit is usually tied to a customer's bank balance and the bill is automatically paid off — in full — from the customer's account within a month or so.
"If I pay with my Visa, then Visa takes it from my account — I don't get any real benefits," said Rainer Hoedt, a Berlin high school teacher.
"When we use our credit cards it's basically only when we go to the States and do our travel expenses through it because it's so easy. Here in Germany I don't use it at all."
Around the world Merkel has been derided as intransigent in her approach to the financial crisis, demanding budget cuts and fiscal austerity from allegedly profligate EU members.
But her hardline stand plays well among the people who elected her.
A new poll for Stern magazine shows 64 percent of Germans think the chancellor should stick to her guns, while only 32 percent think she should reconsider her insistence on austerity. The Forsa agency questioned 1,003 adults on July 5 and 6 for the poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
That means measures which some politicians and economists believe offer a way out of the debt crisis are considered unacceptable here.
Take Eurobonds, for example. Such joint debt could help ease the crisis by pooling risk between rich eurozone countries like Germany and their crisis-hit neighbors. No way, say Germans. Eurobonds, they argue, would just encourage profligate countries to blow their budgets even further, not to mention raise German borrowing costs.

Asia-America Institute
Asia-America Institute in Transnational Law
Dates: June 26 - JULY 26, 2016
APPLICATION DEADLINE approaching - please contact tonya jacobs (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Why Hong Kong?
For twenty years, Hong Kong has been the site of the Asia-America Institute in Transnational Law because it is a major financial and legal center in Asia. Hong Kong represents the territory through which investment flows into and out of China from Asia, Europe, and the United States. Hong Kong also continues to serve as the primary office in Asia for many law firms, investment banks, and other institutions providing services for transactions throughout the region.
The Asia-America Institute brings together participants and faculty members from around the world to study and live together in a residential college setting at the University of Hong Kong. The program is designed for students, lawyers, and others with an interest in international and comparative law and, in particular, for those who are or plan to be engaged in international practice at law firms or financial institutions.
JD students who have completed at least one year of law study, students preparing to study for an LLM degree in the United States, advanced law students from all countries, and judges, academics, practitioners, and other professionals seeking knowledge of American and comparative law are welcome to apply for the program.
A special benefit of attendance at the summer program for LLM students seeking employment in the U.S. and for JD students just completing their first year of law study is the opportunity to have available (by October) transcripts reflecting successful participation in advanced courses.
It is anticipated that 50 participants will enroll in the 2016 program - about one-third from the United States and the rest from countries around the world. The 2015 Asia-America Institute had a total enrollment of 40 students, 8 with a previous affiliation with Duke University. Several American students from other law schools came as well. In addition to the United States, students came from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Romania, and Russia.

I am trying to get the hang of encryption diagrams and TDEA (Triple DES). I understand TDEA looks something like this:
ciphertext = EK3(DK2(EK1(plaintext)))
I also know a chain block cipher uses an IV to seed the encryption and the plain text before encrypting, and then the output is a block that is ciphered and the new IV is formed from the output of the first block's cipher text. Correct?
This means a TDEA in CBC mode would flow something like this:
Plain Text --> IV --> TDEA encryption --> NEW IV --> Cipher Text
The next block is:
Plain Text --> NEW IV --> TDEA encryption --> NEW NEW IV --> Cipher Text
This continues on for n number of blocks. Is this correct or am I not getting how it works?

Police probe Benson stabbingStaff Report | July 09,2013BENSON — Vermont State Police say they are searching for a Castleton man who is believed to have stabbed a homeowner on Route 22A.
Police say William Tyler, the 36-year-old owner of the home, told police that Tia Maher, 40, stabbed him during an early morning altercation inside the home.
Police didn't describe the altercation, but they said that Tyler arrived at the Castleton Family Health Center at just before 8 a.m. Monday with a single stab wound to his lower abdomen.
Attempts to find Maher have proven unsuccessful and police say they believe he fled the area by boarding a local bus in Rutland with an unknown destination.
Police are seeking to obtain a warrant for his arrest on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Maher is described as an Asian man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He stands about 5-feet, 10-inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds with a slender build and dark complexion. It's not known what he's wearing but police believe he has injuries to his face, including a swollen right eye.

Want to join DIY?
For over a decade, DIY has been at the forefront of music discovery.
A monthly, free magazine based out of London, DIY deals with everything exciting about alternative music. Be it buzz bands in back rooms or stadium sized monsters, it delivers exclusive interviews, brilliant photography and essential reviews. It's not just through print, either. With the longstanding website bringing the latest news and amazing music to the world 24/7, DIY has everything covered.
We have had 'quite a few' people enquiring about work experience of late. Unfortunately, we don't currently have the capacity to have any additional bodies in the office as it stands, nor the time to mentor anyone in a way any of you lovely people would deserve. We're always on the look out for new writers, though (see below)!
Wanted: Feature Writers
DIY is on the look out for talented writers excited by music and with a flair for infecting others with their enthusiasm to join our team.
Working across online and print, DIY contributors form part of a highly active community searching out the best stories, features, interviews and more across the spectrum of alternative music. Working together and with our editorial team, the emphasis is on great ideas, bringing our readers the most exciting, informed publication possible.
This is a paid role, with renumeration on an article by article basis. It can be conducted remotely (you don't need to be in London!) and hours are flexible.
Reporting to our editorial team, our online staff writers are responsible for dealing with everything happening now in the world of music. Some of the possible responsibilities include:
- Sourcing original news, by conducting interviews, fostering relationships with bands, PRs and labels, monitoring social media and online networks, or by using specialist knowledge of genres and artists to report stories others don't or have missed.
- Pro-actively conduct interviews with artists announcing news in a timely fashion, with DIY relevant acts about wider issues currently on the agenda, and longer interviews around releases, tours and industry schedules beyond what we can include in the magazine.
- Identify and write features, blogs, opinion pieces, lists and other longer form pieces around news stories and current events in music alongside the features desk.
- Producing extra 'online exclusive' content around things we're publishing in the magazine.
- Produce online reports and photos from key events, to bring the excitement of live music to the website.
- Write track reviews and 'first listen' reaction reviews of new tracks as they debut.
- Secure video, album and track stream exclusives, and work alongside the features desk to secure album stream exclusives.
- Create playlist pieces based on current or forthcoming events, and work with bands to curate their own exclusive playlists.
- Produce content that can be referred to over a long period, acting as a definitive guide to high profile acts.
- Turn press releases and announcements into news pieces for the website, identifying original angles where possible.
- Promote fast moving news events in an engaging fashion via social networks.
To apply, send us your details and a few examples of your writing to email@example.com
Wanted: Live Reviewers
We are currently looking for people to both report on and review live events across the UK. From tiny pop-up gigs to large festivals both in the UK and abroad, we're after skilled writers to cover all kinds of live music.
Sometimes it's a morning-after report on a DIY-affiliated live gig, usually it's a full-on gig review. Ideally, you'll be keen on attending gigs of all sizes on a regular basis – and be able to write about them well in a timely fashion.
Please email three examples of your writing – including at least one live review - to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Wanted: Live photographers
We are after live photographers to cover gigs across the UK – from house parties and dark basement venues to arenas (mostly somewhere between, if we're honest), all-dayers, festivals and more.
If you can deliver sharp images quickly from even the darkest lighting situations (we've been there), send a link to your work – featuring live gig photos only please - to email@example.com.

Got a Light?
By BETSY WADE
Published: June 30, 1996
HEAVEN KNOWS a nonsmoking hotel room is a lovesome thing, mostly because the olfactory nerves have been nursed back to sensitivity in homes where smokers are exiled, in theaters and unmusty rental cars and even in restaurants, where the air is no longer chewy with tobacco. But no gain without cost. Case in point: no more matchbooks.
The practical implications for a traveler are modest but not trivial. For example, you are in your ashtray-free, matchbook-free hotel room with the unfunky carpet. You need to sterilize a sewing needle for splinter surgery, or to burn an embarrassing love letter, or peer under the sink for a contact lens. Seek as you may for a match, your search will be futile unless you brought it with you.
But such moaning about practical needs, as you probably suspect, is really, um, a smokescreen. The nub of it: I collect matchbooks. Or rather, I have a collection of matchbooks that under the circumstances is being deconstructed.
The dearth of matchbooks in hotels and restaurants means that my hoard of travel souvenirs -- for example, ''Piedmont Airlines, Route of the F-27 and 404 Pacemakers, Pressurized, Air-Conditioned and Radar Equipped,'' -- is being consumed. I use these bits of ephemera when I need a match, and my days on the road no longer yield replacements.
I am a twig on the matchbook branch of a family tree of collectors of unparalleled ferocity. Voracious collecting, yea to the point of larceny, was left to the females, although it was my father who led my mother, my sister and me to places where the proprietors so flaunted their trade names that not taking souvenirs would have been like fighting gravity.
Our mother, known to everyone as Wadey, sought intimidating souvenirs, pitchers from the Waldorf-Astoria, ceramic beer mugs with metal lids from all over Europe and brass ashtrays from trans-Atlantic liners. In fact, I do not remember a single ashtray in her household that did not bear the name of a commercial establishment, from the White Star Line to the Bird and Bottle. It was years before I learned that ashtrays could be bought in stores.
We two apprentices were made anxious by this sort of thing, especially when we felt the bulk of some acquisition plop into our laps while dining out. But we were to the bad manners born, and our efforts eventually rivaled the family's best.
To quote Peter Sellers as the inebriated physician in ''The Wrong Box,'' I was not always as you see me now. Historically speaking, I was not a match girl, but the sugar-lump person. On my rather circumscribed childhood travels, I collected sugar lumps in restaurant livery: Luchow's, the Hapsburg House, the home of ur-Bemelmans murals, and the Murray Hill Hotel in New York; the 20th Century Limited and Henrici's in Chicago; the Southern Railway and the Little Elite in Spartanburg, S.C., where I was given my first ice cream cone.
I had a number of tricolor-wrapped lumps, acquired each time the family went to dinner at the French Pavilion at the 1939 World's Fair. This was the debut of Henri Soule in America, and of the restaurant that led to Le Pavillon. The same war that kept Soule from returning to France also settled the fate of my sugar collection. It was eaten. Not by the family, but by important guests who wanted sugar in their coffee and thus greedily absorbed two rationed items at once. I fancy I was valiant in my sacrifice, but I was probably a sniveling brat.
I flattened and saved the little paper wrappers, but even pasted in an album they lacked appeal. I had loved holding the handkerchief boxes heavy with a single layer of sugar lumps, running a hand over the uneven surfaces and examining the emblems and mottoes. I gave up on sugar and shifted roles in the family collecting fetish, joining my sister in matchbooks.
Matches represent booty that causes no pangs of conscience, and I have stayed with them. My sister has pressed on to European soaps in form-fitted plastic cases, pub towels and matched pairs of etched tumblers, which she offers to buy from the waiter, meaning she usually gets them as a gift. The cupboards in her house are a high-water mark of the Grand Tour.
Somewhere in the drawers and baskets that hold my matchbook collection there is bound to be one from the Whispering Pines Motel in Accomac, Va., low on the Eastern Shore. Just after World War II, this became our initiation into motels, and probably to a wider world of filching. My mother, my sister and I took the route south in a car with a white-on-black ''A'' gas rationing sticker still on the windshield. We made a joke as we drove, shouting, ''Is it far to . . .'' and then whispering ''Whispering Pines?'' We stripped that place like locusts: paper bath mat, matchbooks, coasters, anything that had the name on it.
As for matches, the half-sized boxes of wooden ones are particularly satisfying, mainly because they retain their contour even when the matches are gone. Here is one from the Marie Teresa in Albuquerque, where a group of blue-jeaned women had a sequestered Victorian room for dinner as if we were in bustles and pearls and to be protected from male eyes. Another box of woodies came from the very hip Blind Lemon Cafe in the Mount Adams section of Cincinnati. I was there on business, and my generous-spirited escort and her husband dedicated an evening to walking me through domestic architecture. The matches improbably recall the lambent sky, the hospitality and city pride of people I would never see again.
NOT all reminders are happy ones, but the less happy ones, too, are valuable. In 1990, four of us had reservations in a small Paris hotel near St.-Germain-des-Pres, where my sister and her husband had often stayed. We arrived by train and hurried to the Rue de Lille, where the reservations clerk and my sister had a fierce struggle over the viability of the reservation. Declared unreserved guests, we were offered the only hotel room I have ever seen with no outside window at all; we decided to move on. I seized a matchbook on the way out.
Any likelihood that I would ever fall into that particular hostelry is blocked by that single green box of wooden matches.
As a collector, I sometimes get in over my head. A club of media women long in search of a lunchroom -- we are happy now at ''21,'' with plenty of distinctive wooden matches -- earlier spent a couple of good years at a private dining room of the Rainbow Room. The light, the view, the food and the location were quintessential midtown. Then the Rainbow Room closed for remodeling.
Fearing the updating of the crown jewel of Art Deco, I appealed to the manager for souvenir matches for our group. I was given a good number of boxes, because even the matches were slated for redesign. Many members accepted the little offering, but my obsession provoked some laughter. To summarize, while I am no Ivar Kreuger, I am heavily invested in old Rainbow Room match futures. I look for a rising market and with this no-smoking trend, it cannot be long in coming.
