Since its establishment in 1907, the Russell Sage Foundation has regarded the publication and dissemination of social research as an essential part of its contribution to "the improvement of social and living conditions in America." As the principal American Foundation devoted exclusively to the social sciences and as one of the few foundations with a regular publishing program, Russell Sage continues to make a substantial contribution to the social science literature. The Foundation publishes books on a wide variety of subjects, with particular emphasis on work related to our programs: Cultural Contact, the Future of Work, Immigration, and Social Inequality. We also publish work based on special initiatives, such as the Russell Sage Foundation Series on Trust and the 9/11 Initiative, and we are the publisher of the American Sociological Association's distinguished Rose Series in Sociology. RSF publications present the latest in high-quality social science research and are intended to appeal to a broad audience of students, scholars, and policymakers.
Announcing: RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences
The Russell Sage Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of a new social science journal, RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences. RSF promotes cross-disciplinary collaborations on timely topics of interest to social scientists and other academic researchers, policymakers, and the public at large. Each issue will be thematic in nature and will focus on a specific research question or area of interest. The introduction to each issue will provide an accessible, broad, and synthetic overview of the research question under consideration and the current thinking from various fields. RSF is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of original empirical research by both established and emerging scholars. The first issue was published in fall 2015. Read more

The NCAA will announce "unprecedented" penalties against Penn State as a result of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal, according to a report by CBS News. The penalties will be announced at a news conference Monday at 9 a.m. ET.
"I've never seen anything like it," the source told CBS News correspondent Armen Keteyian.
The NCAA said they will levy "corrective and punitive" actions against the school. That likely means the penalties will be a substantial fine in the tens of millions of dollars and actions against the football program, such as a loss of scholarships, bowl ban, TV ban, etc.
CBS' Dennis Dodd reported today that the penalties could last beyond one season and that Penn State could be "hit with significant penalties by the NCAA that could severely damage the football program's ability to compete."
Although there was early speculation that the "Death Penalty" could be applied in this situation, that no longer appears to be the case. SMU is the only school to ever receive the NCAA's Death Penalty, which bans a school from competing in a sport for at least one year.
At the moment, it doesn't appear that Penn State will be forced to forfeit any games on their 2012 football schedule. Since the season is only six weeks away, that might unfairly penalize the schools on their schedule. There simply wouldn't be enough time for those schools to line up replacement games.
If the Nittany Lions are issued a bowl ban, they could also be barred from playing in the Big Ten Championship Game in 2012 and/or future seasons. Penn State would be the second team banned from the 2012 game, as Ohio State is already out of the game after being penalized for violations under former head coach Jim Tressel.
Here is a look at Penn State's 2012 football schedule:
Update (7/23/11): The NCAA has announced sanctions against Penn State, which includes a four-year postseason ban.
The whole thing sucks.
Punish those who made errors in judgement, but spare the innocent.
Trust me, I am not making excuses for the 4 or 5 people who knew better and didn't do the right thing, but will these sanctions affect those 4 or 5? Probably not.
It is also nice to know that the NCAA can sanction schools for any lapses in judgement that have nothing to do with NCAA regulations.
Yeah. I wondered why the NCAA punished USC long after Reggie Bush had left campus.
In fact, I wonder why the NCAA punishes any school, since the offending parties have invariably moved on by the time the NCAA hands down its punishment.
It is not enough…
What does it mean by Vacate all wins from 1998-2011? And a post-season ban?
It means PSU has a bunch of 0-12 seasons now in the books…….
Wern't they also thinking about suspending the football program for 1 or 2 years?
This is simply wrong. This isn't an NCAA matter, this is a Law matter. I have been to Penn State for a game this past year, and all the fans were extremely nice and devoted. The NCAA is missing the point here. The PSU community is already horrified and crippled about all of this, they don't need football taken away. I agree with fining the university millions if not billions of dollars, but the bowl ban and scholarship reductions is crap. Take down everything Paterno but do not punish Bill O'Brien, the students, the players, and the professors. Bill O'Brien is a great dude. I read a great article about his son the other day, and I highly recommend it. They need to fire the whole athletic department and ban all of the football coaches who had knowledge of this. They deserve to be tortured with their own medicine, but Sandusky would probably like that. They should give Sandusky esctasy and viagra and lock him in a room with all of the people who knew. Talk about punishment. I can't imagine if it came out that Bobby Bowden or Bear Bryant or Woody Hayes had knowledge of rape and how the fans of FSU, Bama, and OSU would feel. Terrible what a sad situation
Penn State has a bowl ban, which means they can't appear in any post season bowls for 4 years. ALSO a $60 million fine. Also Stripped Joe Paterno wins from 1998-2011. Even Orange Bowl trophy and Postseason awards at during the time. Which means Joe Paterno officially is ranked 8th In all of FBS in Wins. And Bowden is 1# in Most wins. Lastly, they cut mostly half of scholarships for kids coming into the program. And can only carry 15 New Recruits and or scholarships each year. (A little similar to USC)
Wait since they got rid of Ohio State wins in 2010 year and Penn state for past 13 years. WHO WON THE PENN STATE vs OHIO STATE game in 2010?
Ohio state did for real. But now…who knows?!!
officially (as in the record book0 both teams lost.

Turkish Bond Yields Rise First Day in Six as Inflation Surges
Yields on two-year Turkish benchmark debt climbed for the first day in six and the lira erased gains after inflation accelerated in November, spurring bets for a tighter monetary policy.
The yield climbed eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage points, to 10.36 percent at 10:42 a.m. in Istanbul, a Turk Ekonomi Bankasi index of the securities showed. The lira erased earlier gains and weakened less than 0.1 percent at 1.8312 per dollar in a third day of depreciations.
The rate of inflation rose to 9.5 percent from 7.7 percent a month earlier, the statistics office in Ankara said on its website today, the highest level since April 2010. The median estimate of eight economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 9 percent. In the month, prices rose 1.7 percent. Core inflation rate rose to 8.18 percent in November.
"The fact that the core numbers keep on ticking higher while the economy slows is a worrisome issue and will force the central bank to keep even closer to their tightening bias," Ozhan Antero Atilla, emerging-markets analyst at Danske Bank A/S in Copenhagen, said in e-mailed comments.
Turkish yields on two-year debt climbed from 8.4 percent at the end of September, the largest increase among 16 developing nations tracked by JPMorgan Chase & Co., on concern that the central bank policy of fighting inflation without raising borrowing costs will fail to contain price increases.
Policy makers introduced a dual interest-rate system to curb lending, support the lira and narrow a gaping current-account deficit, a policy Citigroup Inc. Economists Ilker Domac and Gultekin Isiklar in a report dated Dec. 2 described as "unsustainable" due to its cost to the market.
The Turkish currency lost 15.7 percent this year, making it the second-worst performer among more than 20 emerging market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Instead of raising the one-week repurchase rate from a record low of 5.75 percent, Central Bank of Turkey Governor Erdem Basci said on Oct. 26 that the policy makers will vary banks' borrowing costs daily between the benchmark and an overnight rate of as much as 12.5 percent.
The bank offered to provide 11 billion liras ($6 billion) in one-week repo to banks today.

King Khan & the Shrines
Notorious for their wild, occasionally nude live shows, King Khan and the Shrines have succeeded in building a sinister reputation in the States despite having a limited release history here. The Shrines are essentially a hodgepodge of characters that have joined over the years; the band's members range from French to German, from a cheerleader to acclaimed percussionist Ron Streeter (who has played with everyone from Bo Diddley to Curtis Mayfield to Stevie Wonder). King Khan himself is a Canadian-born spaz-soul singer who wails and thrashes about the stage looking like a sweaty, Indian Little Richard. Khan was in his first band at the age of 12, and set the foundation for the Shrines while playing in both the punk-inspired Maury Povitch Three and the Spaceshits. The latter group also included one half of the freak-out doo-wop duo King Khan & the BBQ Show, Mark Sultan. Sultan will also be playing tonight's show, along with local act France Has the Bomb. 18+.

I have noticed that when selecting options (drop down menus, radio buttons etc) on some websites you see an ever more complex URL being created and then you can use that URL to access that website at a later date and go straight to the page with your desired options. Unfortunately on other websites the URL remains fixed and you appear to have no choice but to select the options all over again. I was wondering if there was some utility that would help automate this process.
EDIT: As a programmer myself I know for certain that it must be doable - you could record a kind of macro that monitored mouse movements and clicks, then "replay" this macro.
EDIT: Similarly, a utility could monitor windows messages to the browser and make use of that information too/instead.

Itâs a little odd for this title to launch before the second issue of âFirst Waveâ has even shipped, but âDoc Savageâ #1 hits the ground running, jumping into the story right away and explaining things as it goes, which is a positive. Paul Malmontâs script is constantly pushing forward, giving the issue a real energetic and dynamic feeling that is hampered by Howard Porterâs awkward, angular, overly-posed art. But, paired with Jason Starr and Scott Hamptonâs âJustice, Inc.â second feature, it makes for a solid first issue full of action.
Returning to New York from his latest adventure, the Doc's blimp is besieged by lightning bolts that are also striking at various points in the city, wherever his associates happen to be. Doc Savage saves a couple of boys and then has to get them out of his headquarters before it crumbles from the damage inflicted by the lightning. In an effort to distract him, Savage asks them questions and answers their own about him. This allows Malmont to give new readers a quick history of Doc Savage in a way that feels integrated into the story.
The story is fast-moving with quick cuts between Savage and the boys making their way down an elevator shaft, and Savageâs associates, all targeted by the unexplained lightning wherever they are. No answers are given, but it almost assuredly has something to do with the first page of the comic, which showed the end of one of Savageâs adventures in a truncated fashion. The emphasis on action makes the story fly by and sets up the issue-ending cliffhanger well, but there isnât a lot of character work here beyond what little we learn of Savageâs past.
Worse is the art of Porter, which is wildly inconsistent throughout the issue. One of Savageâs associates, Remy, is meant to be so ugly that it causes one of the boys to react in disgust, but Remyâs face doesnât look any uglier than the faces of the other characters. Eyes move around faces at random, heads change shape, and limbs grow and shrink from panel to panel. Porter has always been an artist that can be counted on for energy, but his art here is flat with awkward poses and unclear storytelling.
Porterâs art looks especially bad when compared to Scott Hamptonâs in the âJustice, Inc.â eight-page back-up story. While Hampton isnât painting his art, Daniel Vozzoâs colors have a painterly quality similar to Hamptonâs usual work. He has a blocky, sketchy style with soft shadows, colored with pale, muted tones to go with the bleak, misanthropic perspective of the book. Itâs not bright and flashy, but very subdued and subtle.
Jason Starrâs writing is equally subdued, though coming at the concept from a similar perspective as Malmont approaches Doc Savage: some unseen, unknown threat is attacking Justice, Inc. to get at its leader, Benny. Narrated by Benny, the writing is dark and moody as he seems to loathe humanity and the world, helping people out of a twisted desire to make bad people suffer: âSo I keep my emotions to myself and devote my life to making scumbags feel the pain I feel every day. Suffer the way I suffer.â Itâs a very different sort of character from Doc Savage despite a similar concept, making them oddly compatible in the same book.
While the âJustice, Inc.â second feature outpaces the lead story, âDoc Savageâ #1 is a thrilling ride of an issue that doesnât slow down. It follows up on the promise of the âDoc Savage/Batmanâ special and âFirst Waveâ #1 nicely.

Foraging animals can acquire new information about food sources either individually or socially, but they can also opt to rely on information that they have already acquired, termed "personal information". Although social information can provide an adaptive shortcut to new resources, recent theory predicts that investing too much time in acquiring new information can be detrimental. Here, we investigate whether foraging bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) strategically prioritize personal information unless there is evidence of environmental change. All bees in our study had personal information that one species of artificial flower was rewarding, and bees in the scent group then experienced social information about an alternative-scented species inside the nest, while a control group did not. On their next foraging bout, bees in both groups overwhelmingly used personal information when deciding where to forage. When bees subsequently learnt that the rewards offered by their preferred species had dwindled, bees that had social information were no quicker to abandon their personal information than control bees, but once they had sampled the alternative flowers, they showed greater commitment to that species than control bees. Thus, we found no evidence that social information is particularly important when personal information fails to produce rewards (a "copy when established behaviour is unproductive" strategy). Instead, bees used social information specifically to complement personal information.

Polio Directory
Polio (poliomyelitis) is a highly infectious viral disease passed from person to person. It invades the nervous system and can paralyze a person within hours. Initial symptoms are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, and neck stiffness. Polio mainly affects children under 3. Before the polio vaccine was introduced in 1955, tens of thousands of U.S. children per year developed paralytic polio. Only the inactive polio vaccine (IPV), made from dead polio virus, is used in the U.S. Starting at 2 months of age, all U.S. children receive four doses of IPV. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage of polio, its history, the risk it poses, preventive vaccines, and much more.

: University researcher tests new wild sheep vaccine
University researcher tests new wild sheep vaccine
April 12th 2011
John Robison : April 12th 2011
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Ð A Washington State University wildlife disease
researcher produced an experimental vaccine that appears to have protected
four bighorn sheep against deadly pneumonia.
Subramaniam Srikumaran, the WSU professor in Pullman, says his findings are
a promising but concedes years of work remain to help safeguard wild bighorn
herds from periodic die-offs that have plagued the species in Idaho.
His research comes at a time when domestic sheep that roam the same habitat
as bighorns are blamed for spreading disease to their more vulnerable wild
cousins. That's led federal managers to close sheep grazing allotments in
Idaho's Payette National Forest to protect the wild sheep. That move has
angered the region's ranchers, who see the federal government as protecting
wildlife over their livelihoods.
Srikumaran told the Lewiston Tribune this week that he developed the vaccine
in his laboratory, then gave it to four bighorn sheep. They all survived
after being exposed to a pathogen that causes pneumonia. Sheep not given the
vaccine died within days of exposure. He acknowledged the sample size of
inoculated bighorns was small, but "100 percent is something convincing to
Idaho bighorn numbers have dwindled by half since 1990, to about 3,500.
Die-offs such as ones where 300 sheep died in 1995 and 1996 in Hell's Canyon
have contributed to the declines. And most scientists believe contact
between the wild sheep and domestic sheep during the spring and summer has
contributed to transmission of deadly pneumonia.
Last year the Payette National Forest approved a plan that will reduce
domestic sheep grazing by nearly 70 percent.
Some see a vaccine along the lines of what Srikumaran is working on as a
solution to allowing historic ranching activities and wild sheep to coexist
in the high country Ð not just in Idaho but in other states including
Washington and California, where similar efforts to separate the animals are
under consideration.
Wildlife biologists following the debate say a solution remains elusive,
despite the positive rumblings from Srikumaran's lab. For instance, relying
on a vaccine given to wild sheep can be problematic, because it probably
would require capturing all the wild animals that live in steep and remote
Once they're captured, the questions continue, said Keith Lawrence, director
of the Nez Perce Tribes wildlife program.
"How do you know who has got it? How do you control the dosage? (There) is
lots of difficulty with that," Lawrence said. "That is why until we get all
this stuff figured out, separation is the key."
That's one reason why Srikumaran is also working on a method that would
treat the domestic sheep that are rounded up annually instead of the
"We are trying to eliminate the disease-causing bacteria from the throats of
domestic sheep," he said.
Frances Cassirer, a wildlife research biologist for the Idaho Department of
Fish and Game in Lewiston, said Srikumaran's experimental vaccine may prove
a valuable tool in the fight to learn more about what causes wild sheep to
contract pneumonia from domestics or if there is more than one cause.
For instance, Srikumaran exposed the sheep to a pathogen known to be deadly,
but some researchers believe there is another bacteria that weakens the
bighorns' immune system and makes them more susceptible to deadly bacteria.
"If you could inoculate bighorn with the vaccine and expose them to domestic
sheep and they survived, at least you would know that is the organism; it
suggests that is the organism we have to get rid of in domestic sheep,"
Cassirer said.

Dani Pedrosa admitted his victory joy at Motegi was tempered by the fact Jorge Lorenzo remains fully in control of their championship fight.
Pedrosa's fourth win in the last fives races - and his fifth of the season, a personal record for him in MotoGP – allowed him to once again chip away at Lorenzo's advantage.
The Yamaha man remains 28 points ahead however, meaning he can afford to finish behind Pedrosa in all three remaining races and still seal the title.
Pedrosa labelled that scenario a 'pity', conceding that it detracted from his joy at triumphing.
"I saw a chance to pass Jorge and was able to put some good laps together. He tried to stay with me, but then decided to settle for second place," Pedrosa reflected.
"We did what we needed to do, it's just a pity that there is no one else who can stay with us.
"Every race I win, he's been second."
Pedrosa explained that he had not always been certain of victory, particularly in the early stages of the race when fears of a repeat of his qualifying chattering issues were playing on his mind.
"I didn't know exactly what pace we could run today - I knew fast but not how fast," he said.
"I wasn't sure at the beginning of the race because of the chatter yesterday and I was a little cautious to start with, so I was impressed by some of the laptimes in the middle of the race, the 1m45s.
"I still suffered quite a lot of chattering in the race but I managed to pass Jorge and at the end control the gap.
"Anyway, it's a great feeling to win races and we are doing it now. Thanks to Honda and the whole team, I'm really happy to win again here in Motegi!"

Obama Says He's Ready to Negotiate With Republicans on Tax Cuts
President Barack Obama said he is "absolutely" ready to negotiate this month with congressional Republicans, whose success in the Nov. 2 midterm elections has hardened their stance that Bush-era tax cuts set to expire next month should be extended for high-income taxpayers.
Obama, a Democrat, said yesterday that he hopes to avoid "brinkmanship" in the lame-duck session of Congress when he deals with Republicans on preventing the expiration of lower tax rates on wages, investments and multimillion-dollar estates enacted in 2001 and 2003. Unless Congress acts, those tax policies expire Dec. 31.
"My goal is to make sure that we don't have a huge spike in taxes for middle-class families," Obama said at a White House news conference when asked if he would seek a compromise with newly empowered Republicans on such matters as preserving the tax cuts on the first $1 million of income.
Obama has been adamant that the U.S. can't afford to extend policies that benefit high-income Americans, whom he defines as individuals earning more than $200,000 annually and couples making over $250,000. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has said that doing so would add $700 billion to the national debt. Obama's proposal itself would add about $3 trillion to the debt.
"My hope is, is that given we all have an interest in growing the economy and encouraging job growth, that we're not going to play brinkmanship but instead we're going to act responsibly," the president said.
While Democrats will still be in charge of both houses of Congress when lawmakers return for the lame-duck session that starts the week of Nov. 15, the tax-cut battle will test whether Obama and Republicans can find common ground on divisive issues.
Historic Party Loss
Republicans gained at least 60 seats in the House of Representatives -- 21 more than needed to win control in the next session, starting in January -- and won at least six new seats in the Senate, narrowing the Democrats' majority. It was the Democrats' biggest defeat since 1938, when the party lost 72 seats in the House.
"We continue to believe that extending all of the current tax rates for all Americans is the right policy for our economy at this time," John Boehner of Ohio, the House Republican leader and the likely speaker in the next Congress, said yesterday.
Republicans have faulted Obama and Democrats for failing to act earlier to extend the tax cuts enacted during President George W. Bush's administration. Among other things, the policies established lower marginal tax rates, eliminated the so-called marriage penalty, doubled a child tax credit to $1,000, lowered rates on most capital gains and dividends to 15 percent, and phased out the estate tax.
Tax Rate Increase
If Congress takes no action, individual income tax rates will increase to 15, 28, 31, 36, and 39.6 percent from 10, 15, 25, 33, and 36 percent now, respectively. Reinstated limits on certain deductions and exemptions would push rates even higher for taxpayers in the top two brackets.
Many married couples would pay more in income tax than if they were single. The child tax credit would be reduced to $500. Rates on capital gains would revert to 20 percent, and dividends would again be taxed at ordinary income rates. The estate tax, repealed for this year only, would affect estates exceeding $1 million and would have a top rate of 55 percent.
Obama campaigned on preserving the tax cuts only on the first $250,000 of a couple's income. That would mean increasing the top two marginal rates and higher rates on capital gains and dividends; Obama has sought to cap the dividend tax rate at 20 percent. The president also wants to exempt the first $3.5 million of estates from taxes and levy any excess with a top 45 percent rate, reverting to the rules that existed in 2009.
Renew Them All
Republicans have long insisted that all of the Bush-era tax cuts should be renewed. Doing so would cost the government about $5 trillion in foregone revenue and interest costs on the debt over the next decade, according to an Oct. 27 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
Michigan Representative Dave Camp, the Republican in line to become chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee in January, said he also will insist on extending Bush's tax policies for all income levels.
"I do think we can't increase taxes on any American with the economy still over 9.5 percent unemployment," he said in an interview yesterday.
Camp also said he would prefer to find a long-term solution. "I don't think a short-term extension gets the kind of certainty that I'm hearing from employers and analysts that they need," he said.
Reid 'Laser'-Focused
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who won a close bid for re-election in Nevada, told reporters yesterday that the Democrats are still "focused like a laser" on extending tax cuts to middle-income taxpayers. He said permanently extending all the Bush-era cuts would be "a road to a $4 trillion debt. That won't happen." Reid's $4 trillion figure doesn't include interest costs.
Obama also said he would push to renew dozens of expired breaks that primarily benefit businesses, including a tax credit that subsidized research and experimentation. Separately, Congress must act to roll back a $70 billion alternative minimum tax increase, already in force for 2010, that would affect more than 30 million households.
Pat Heck, a partner at the Washington law firm K&L Gates LLP, said the need to prevent the increase in the alternative minimum tax will be the biggest catalyst for Obama and lawmakers to strike a deal.
"That absolutely has to be done," Heck said. "Without the AMT patch you're going to have 25 million taxpayers get hit by a tax bill next year that they hadn't planned on."
A short-term compromise is most likely on the Bush-era tax cuts, he said. "I think there's enough time for them to come together; it's not rocket science."

As celebs made their way through this week's fashion shows in New York City, a little bit of Washington made an appearance as well. White House Social Secretary Desirée Rogers attended a couple of key Fall 2009 shows in the Big Apple, according to Women's Wear Daily. Known to many in Chicago as a stylista, Rogers attended both the Carolina Herrera (Rogers wore Herrera to the inaugural balls) and Donna Karan collections. But it was quickly back to business as the former Chicago socialite returned to the District on Tuesday morning. Many speculate that she needed to oversee the Governor's Ball scheduled for Sunday, the Obama administration's first major social function since the inauguration. —BB

Office Blinds, Window Treatments
- Prevent reflection, glare and shadows
- Maintain temperature with insulating shades
- Light controlling blinds for a productive space
- Functional and decorative treatments
- Motorized lift options
There are a variety of office blinds and shades conducive to creating a comfortable and productive office space, whether at home or in a high rise. Shutters and wood blinds are classic office window treatment options that work well to let in natural light, but also have slats that may be tilted for optimum light control.

IDOT and Law Enforcement Urging Fans to Safely Celebrate Super Bowl Sunday
1/31/2013 @ 2:28 PMMillions of people this weekend will gather to watch the Super Bowl. The Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois State Police are kicking off the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, and the Click It or Ticket campaigns this weekend. State Police will add troopers in many regions to identify, and remove, impaired drivers from Illinois roadways. Law enforcement will focus on safety belt use during late-night hours, when motorists are less likely to buckle up.
In Illinois last year, four motor vehicle fatalities occurred on Super Bowl Sunday. Three of the four fatalities involved a drunk driver. If you plan to drink on Super Bowl Sunday, designate a sober driver before the party begins. Call a taxi, sober friend or family member, or use mass transit, to get yourself home safely. Report impaired drivers to law enforcement, and always buckle up. Spend the night where the party is being held and sleep it off.
For more information about IDOT's impaired driving programs, visit www.drivesoberillinois.org or www.buckleupillinois.org.

"And Then There Was Two" Since Murrieta band Valiant formed five years ago, the band has gone from four members to two, switched coastlines and delt with family issues. But now brothers Alexander and Eric Falvey are making a go of it with a new record aptly titled "On Our Own." The band recorded in North Hollywood from April to October with Ron Dziubla, who has played saxophone with Latino pop singer Chayanne. The songs are raw, tapping into very real issues like their parents divorce. "I think it's a very personal record," Alexander said. The band, though, draws from a variety of inspirations, from Alkaline Trio to Tom Petty. Alexander doesn't want to be the guy just singing about breaking up with a girlfriend and he's proud of the emotional depth of the lyrics. Even though the band is only two people, Valiant packs a big sound. The duo taps into influences that range from Metallica to Morrissey, and it shines through in the band's work.
"An open book" Valiant records life story through song. Alexander Falvey, the guitarist of Murrieta acoustic rock band Valiant, keeps a journal anybody can read. He keeps it in his songs. Every song represents a chapter in his life. VN: Clearly, your life has a deep influence over your music. So, how does your music affect your life? AF: "I find it very therapeutic in how it affects me. I can look back, listen back and feel what I felt at that moment when I wrote [a given song] because it was so intense and so true. I find myself putting on the happy songs when I want to be in a better mood and the sad songs when I want to embrace my depression. I love discovering what the song is really about after I write it. I keep learning from it, and I still learn from the first few songs we wrote."
"Valiant's Non-Stop Evolution" Through refusing to categorize themselves to one specific genre, the brothers have found that they are evolving non-stop ---- both creatively and mentally. "Not only are we a two-piece band consisting only of guitars, vocals, and drums; but we are also brothers, and are driven by the same exact force, making our sound unique in itself," Alexander Falvey said. "We refuse to limit ourselves musically to one specific genre, so our sound is always creatively different, and constantly evolving." Valiant is made up of Alexander and Eric Falvey, who came together as a band in a flurry of Metallica performances, guitar purchases and a little practice. "My lyrics are always inspired by my real life," Alexander said. "Nothing less. I wouldn't feel right writing anything that I had not went through myself. I would feel like a phony."

I would like for sshd to verify the users' public key and then prompt for their password, rather than just one or the other. Is this possible?
Not presently. But there are some patches floating around that are supposed to add this.
This is finally available as of OpenSSH 6.2 (released March 2013), using the
For instance, you may add the following line to

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- So there was Tyler Hansbrough, the mouth guard that protects his broken tooth hanging out, screaming from the bench at his teammates to switch on defense.
Hansbrough still was intense, still was carrying on about the outcome of the game -- with 41 seconds left and North Carolina up by 10 on USC.
"I told him after the game that his will power, whether he's scoring or not, is evident with this team," North Carolina assistant Joe Holladay said. "He doesn't care if he scores or not. If he sits on the bench, then that's fine with him. He's all about winning."
For two years now, Hansbrough has been one of the hardest-working players in the game. He plays every possession, every rotation of the ball, as if it were his last. And he's not just playing for himself and his team, but also for his hometown of Poplar Bluff, Mo.
"I came here to a top program like this to experience things like that, and for me personally, coming from a small town, I know it would mean a lot to everybody in my town to see someone from a small place do big things," said Hansbrough ahead of Sunday's East Regional final against Georgetown at the Meadowlands.
"For me personally, it would be a great accomplishment for all the work that I've done in the past."
It wasn't supposed to be this hard, though.
Hansbrough committed to the Tar Heels, according to Holladay, with the understanding that Marvin Williams and Sean May would still be on the team when Hansbrough was a freshman. A funny thing happened, though, on the way to matriculation -- the Tar Heels won the national title and the core of that team split.
That meant Hansbrough had to carry the load as a freshman. He had a stellar season, averaging 18.9 points and 7.8 boards as the Tar Heels greatly exceeded the expectations placed on the team. Still, they lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to George Mason.
You can blame the Patriots for the anger that Hansbrough is playing with right now, the drive that he is putting forth to get to the Final Four. Hansbrough hasn't gotten over that loss in Dayton, Ohio.
"People don't understand what we went through last year losing early to George Mason," Hansbrough said. "That lingered with us for a long time."
"I've never seen someone take a loss harder than he did after George Mason," said teammate Wes Miller. "It really hurt him deep down and we've been on a mission ever since then. This has been a big dream of his and thank God we've got a shot to accomplish that."
The Tar Heels have their chance Sunday against the Hoyas, despite Hansbrough only scoring five points in 29 minutes in the Sweet 16 win over the Trojans. Incredibly, he didn't score during the 18-0 UNC run that helped reverse a 16-point deficit.
Hansbrough's production was at his typical high standards in the first two rounds against Eastern Kentucky (21 points and 10 boards) and Michigan State (33 points and nine boards) after he struggled in the ACC tournament (scoring six, nine and 15 points in three games).
"I was really upset with myself during the ACC tournament because of the way I played with that mask," he said. "I was frustrated and concerned about how I could come out. Everyone thought I would play timid because of my nose."
The USC game was his first full game without the mask that was protecting his nose, which he broke in UNC's regular-season finale against Duke. He shed it during the first half of the Michigan State game.
Holladay said Hansbrough was so frustrated with the mask because it wasn't conducive to his game.
"He couldn't see three feet around him," Holladay said.
"He couldn't see," Miller said. "He's usually dealing with three or four bodies and then you add a mask that affects his vision. It was a different Tyler Hansbrough."
Hansbrough says his face feels "great, unless I get hit."
Whether he's scoring or not, Hansbrough's work ethic never changes. He is deemed the hardest worker on the team. He also has more help this season.
The cavalry arrived in the fall and in came Brandan Wright, Deon Thompson and Alex Stepheson to take some of the inside burden off of Hansbrough. While the addition of guards Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington ensured he wouldn't have to score every trip, it also would require Hansbrough to play at a quicker pace.
That meant more conditioning for Hansbrough, and he did everything needed to be ready to play with this crew, to get to this position to help deliver a Final Four berth for the Heels -- and for Poplar Bluff.
If the Tar Heels get to the Final Four, Holladay said, "it would reaffirm everything about Tyler Hansbrough. How does Poplar Bluff win the state of Missouri title two years in row, going against inner city teams from St. Louis and Kansas City? It's because of Tyler Hansbrough. It's a town with 18,000 people. Whoever he plays with wins because he brings out the best in everybody he plays with. Everybody respects Tyler. He never gets on anybody. He is loyal to his teammates."
That's why he was there late Friday night, coaching from the sideline, ensuring his teammates were doing the right thing -- even though the game essentially was over. Hansbrough isn't taking anything for granted. He wants that Final Four berth, a championship banner, and he's not going to stop competing until every last second has expired on his season.

Light sheet microscopy is an easy to implement and extremely powerful alternative to established fluorescence imaging techniques such as laser scanning confocal, multi-photon and spinning disk microscopy. By illuminating the sample only with a thin slice of light, photo-bleaching is reduced to a minimum, making light sheet microscopy ideal for non-destructive imaging of fragile samples over extended periods of time. Millimeter-sized samples can be imaged rapidly with high resolution and high depth penetration. A large variety of instruments have been developed and optimized for a number of different samples: Bessel beams form thin light sheets for single cells, and selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) offers multi-view acquisition to image entire embryos with isotropic resolution. This review explains how light sheet microscopy involves a conceptually new microscope design and how it changes modern imaging in biology.

Ever since I installed Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 on my Dell XPS M1730, system alerts (for example, the alert you get when installing software that wants to make modifications to your computer) will flash in the taskbar, but will not force their windows in front of other application windows.
The same is true for things like Outlook alerts - notifications for upcoming appointments / tasks etc.
Is this normal, or are there some policy settings or other system modifications I should attempt?

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8 (Reuters) - The African lion that killed a California wildlife sanctuary worker had slipped out of a holding pen, which apparently was left improperly secured, and crept up on the woman inside a larger enclosure to attack her, the coroner said on Friday.
Dianna Hanson, 24, an intern at the Cat Haven sanctuary east of Fresno, died almost instantly on Wednesday after the big cat, a 350-pound (160 kg) male named Cous Cous, snapped her neck, according to an autopsy conducted on Thursday.
Hanson was cleaning the larger enclosure when the lion escaped from its holding pen, apparently by lifting a gate that slides vertically, Fresno County Coroner Dr. David Hadden told Reuters.
"The gate is kind of like a guillotine. It comes down and hits the base of the ground. If that gate wasn't all the way down, the lion could have put its paw under the gate and pushed it up, and the gate is designed so that it would stay up," he said. Hadden said the lion was being fed at the time, though he was not sure if Hanson was the one who left food for the animal.
"The lion did not touch its food. It was more interested in what she was doing, and it ran in and attacked her," he said. "she had been talking on her cell phone shortly before the attack and we found a damaged cell phone on the scene."
Sheriff's deputies shot and killed the lion as they tried to reach Hanson, authorities said.
On Thursday, Hadden said autopsy results showed the intern, who was from the Seattle area, "died almost instantly from a fractured neck." He added that the autopsy also showed bite and claw marks on Hanson from "the lion playing with the body like a cat would play with a mouse."
Hanson had begun what was to be a six-month internship at the private sanctuary in January after spending six months in Kenya last year working on a wild feline reserve. She earned a biology degree in 2011 from Western Washington University.
Cat Haven is a 100-acre (16-hectare) sanctuary in Dunlap, California, run by the group Project Survival. It was founded "to exhibit a variety of wild cats and engage public support for their conservation in the wild via specific projects," according to the park's website.
On Thursday, Cat Haven founder Dale Anderson told reporters he could not comment on the circumstances of Hanson's death or the sanctuary's safety protocols. "Our whole staff is just ... it's devastating," he said as he broke down in tears.
He said the facility has been "incident free" since opening in 1998, and California officials confirmed they had never responded to any emergency there prior to Wednesday's death.
The 4-year-old Barbary lion that killed Hanson was of a species that is extinct in the wild, said Janice Mackey, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which oversaw the permit that allows the sanctuary to operate.
The lion had been handled by humans since it was weeks old, and was one of two Barbary lions at the facility. Several years ago, when it was a cub, Cous Cous also made an appearance on the talk show "Ellen," Mackey said. (Additional reporting by Stephen Keleher in Dunlap, California; Laura L.

My regex was working - until the form of the string it was capturing slightly changed. It used to always be of the form :
Word1 - Word2 - 01.2.3456.7890 - xx-xx - Word 3 [Word-inbracket]
Where I was interested in capturing the
For capturing this data, the following regex worked :
Selecting groups[2] from it.
Now, however, the string has changed form so that sometimes there is another dash, and another set of letters between 1 and 4 characters after the
xx-xx. (Remember, this only happens sometimes).
So, now I also need to capture the info where it is of the form :
Word1 - Word2 - 01.2.3456.7890 - xx-xx-XxxX - Word 3 [Word-inbracket]
Word1 - Word2 - 01.2.3456.7890 - xXX-XxX-xxxx - Word 3 [Word-inbracket]
How can I edit my regex to capture this string in addition to the ones that were previously caught? What is the cleanest way to do this ?
