A Paternity Dispute Divides Net Pioneers
Published: November 8, 2001
(Page 4 of 4)
And more generally, Dr. Kleinrock called the Davies article "shocking." He and Dr. Davies had exchanged cordial e-mail in the months leading to Dr. Davies's death, Dr. Kleinrock said, and he had no idea that Dr. Davies was writing the paper.
Dr. Davies was adamant that the paper not be published until after his death, said Michael Davies, his son. "He felt that if it came out during the latter stages of his illness, he wouldn't have the strength to get in a debate about it," Mr. Davies said. "But he felt deeply that he had to set the record straight."
Yet perhaps counter to Dr. Davies's intentions, instead of helping resolve the matter, his paper has simply helped galvanize each side.
Lawrence G. Roberts, who in the late 1960's designed the Arpanet, the precursor to the Internet, has been a prominent backer of Dr. Kleinrock's claim, at least in recent years. His honors include two that were shared with Dr. Kleinrock — the National Academy of Engineering award and last year's I.E.E.E. Internet Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. (The latter award, unlike the academy's prize, also recognized Dr. Davies and Mr. Baran.)
While they were graduate students and researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960's, Dr. Kleinrock became a close colleague and friend of Dr. Roberts. Inveterate casino gamblers, the two scientists together tried to beat the odds at blackjack and roulette with various clever methods. They remain good friends.
Throughout the early 1990's, when asked, Dr. Roberts pointed to his own work, as well as the work of Mr. Baran and Dr. Davies, as the major influences on his thinking when he designed the network. It wasn't until Dr. Kleinrock began to lobby for recognition that Dr. Roberts changed his mind and not only began citing Dr. Kleinrock's work but also took up his friend's cause.
In an interview, Dr. Roberts said he erred when the topic of Internet history first arose in the early 1990's. After thinking more about it, he said, he decided that Dr. Kleinrock did indeed influence his thinking when he designed the Arpanet.
"I didn't differentiate Kleinrock heavily until it got to be an issue," Dr. Roberts said. "I realized I had left out what he had contributed to what I was doing. All of us started realizing we were part of history, and we had to make it clear."
Now, if either man sees Dr. Kleinrock omitted from a citation, each is quick to correct the record.
For his part, Dr. Kleinrock acknowledges waiting until 1996 — and says he did so then only because he saw his contribution eclipsed by the claims of others.
"You might find it hard to believe, but I tend to be a modest person," he said. "I become less modest when I see people taking away the things I had done."
Even without the claim to packet switching, Dr. Kleinrock's roster of achievements — listed on his home page at www.lk.cs .ucla.edu — is impressive. In 1969 his lab at U.C.L.A. became the first node on the Arpanet and the official center for network performance testing.
An entrepreneur, Dr. Kleinrock was a co- founder of Linkabit, an early computer consulting company, in 1968. He is also founder of Nomadix, a three-year-old computer networking company in Westlake Village, Calif.
Dr. Kleinrock said the controversy had put him in an uncomfortable position. "I don't like this role of having to defend the things I've done," he said. "It's more than pride of ownership. If no one had tried to claim it, it would be different. But if someone tries to take something away, that's a proactive move, and that requires a response. It's not peaceful coexistence. History should get it right."
At the same time, Dr. Kleinrock said he believed that Dr. Davies and Mr. Baran deserved credit "on a number of fronts" — Dr. Davies for coining the term "packet" and for building his experimental network. Both should be credited with coming up with the idea of slicing messages into discrete packets, albeit after he did, Dr. Kleinrock said.
Dr. Roberts, who is now chairman and chief technology officer of Caspian Networks of San Jose, Calif., a company building a new generation of Internet switching equipment, said the appearance of the paper diminished his respect for Dr. Davies.
"He was a brilliant man," Dr. Roberts said. "I just thought he was an immense figure, and this cuts my opinion some, because he knows that this is not the truth."
Dr. Roberts was particularly surprised that Dr. Davies chose to focus on one small aspect of the technology — the dividing of messages into small pieces of equal size and sending them to several intermediate nodes on the way to their final destination.
"The question of who invented which piece may be very hard to track down, but there's a lot more to packet switching besides this little teeny piece," Dr. Roberts said. "We can argue about it, but my contention is we all were thinking about it."
But another of the Internet pioneers, Mr. Baran, a Davies ally, said he thought Dr. Davies had made a professional effort to be fair.
Mr. Baran said he exchanged extensive e- mail with Dr. Davies about Dr. Kleinrock's work in the months preceding Dr. Davies's death, though he knew nothing of the Davies paper until Dr. Davies sent him a draft early last year.
"Davies was a very gentle guy," Mr. Baran said. "What he wanted to do was make absolutely sure he really understood what Kleinrock was saying. He really bent over backwards to make sure he wasn't misinterpreting anything Kleinrock wrote."
And for every supporter of Dr. Kleinrock there is an equally opinionated detractor. Dr. Willis Ware, a scientist at the RAND Corporation who was Mr. Baran's boss there in the early 1960's, shares Dr. Davies's skepticism of Dr. Kleinrock.
He and others suggested that Dr. Davies was moved to write the paper as a point of honor. "It was clear from his paper that Davies believed that Kleinrock was stretching the truth in a way that didn't seem appropriate," Dr. Ware said.
Honor is not to be underestimated in the world of scientific achievement. "Honor is an important part of the reward system, because other rewards flow from that," said Dr. Charles Bazerman, a professor of education at the University of California at Santa Barbara and an expert on Thomas Edison. "So priority becomes a crucial issue, because it's the most basic reward."

Headsets and headphones are the bane of my gaming and music listening existence. Headsets are normally too heavy and big for my head and wind up slipping down or causing neck aches. Earbuds tend to simply fall out of my ears. SteelSeries' Guild Wars 2 headset (and by extension the FLUX) has presented me with the first portable headset that has fit my small head needs and given me the exceptional sound quality needed to truly enjoy a game.
The design of the headphones is right in step with most SteelSeries products — sleek and stylish. For Guild Wars 2 fans, the white headset with the iconic dragon on the side will resonate. Not a fan of the series or white headphones? Try the FLUX headset: same design, lots of colors! The headphones fold up on themselves and the cups can fold flat, allowing them to take up very little space and rest comfortably below your neck. If you're one of those people who walks around with headsets around your neck, there is no more ear cups in your way.
The audio quality of these headphones is superb for an on ear set. My audio-snob of a husband was amazed by the amount of bass coming out of them when playing Battlefield 3. Playing Mass Effect 3 I heard tonal changes that are missed when playing with sub-par headphones or over a speaker system. The decibel level pushed out by these headphones is extraordinary. When replacing them with a set of studio headphones, I had to almost double to volume to hear.
The 40mm drivers are in the headset itself, meaning you'll have a good audio experience whether you're plugged into a fancy audio card or your phone. You won't be disappointed with the mic either. While we found that you had to speak a bit louder to get an ideal vocal level , the quality was great for an inline mic. [Editor's Note: I'd even consider hosting VGW's Unlimited Ammo podcast with this headset — the quality is that good.]
For you audiophiles here are the technical numbers:
- Frequency response: 18 – 28000 Hz
- Impedance: 29 Ohm
- SPL@ 1kHz, 1 Vrms: 118 dB
- Cable length: 2m
- Jacks: 3.5 mm
- Frequency response: 50 – 16000 Hz
- Pick up pattern: Omni-directional
- Sensitivity: -38 dB
I found these to be a great travel companion something you can't say about full gaming headsets. They folded up nicely, fitting into the top little pocket of the Astro back pack. They stayed on despite my falling asleep. The noise reduction brought to you by the SNDBlock ear cushions was enough that I didn't hear the conversations going on around me and the plane's engine was a dull roar when listening to audio. If someone is listening to loud music in the same area you're in, you will hear it, but it isn't too distracting. We even got to try the sharable audio feature in a real world setting. You'd figure there would be a bit of audio degradation when sharing with another headset, but that's not the case. Provided you have some decent earbuds or headphones, the audio will be crystal clear.
When leaving these on for extend periods of time, you may find your ears aching after removing them. The padding does offer some cushioning, but it would take a looser fit and a lot more padding to negate the amount of pressure the headset had to exert to stay on your head.
These are headphones I'd highly recommend to someone who wants great audio quality and portable design at a good price. If you know a GW2 fan, these will be a great gift for the upcoming holiday. Have a gamer that has been searching for a good on ear headset? Try the FLUX. Both the Guild Wars 2 branded headset and the SteelSeries Flux sell for about $99.99.

The New York Times ran a brief "Appreciation" titled "'The Bishop's Wife'" at the bottom of its column of editorials on Christmas Eve. The author, Verlyn Klinkenborg, regularly appears in that space with a signed feature called "The Rural Life." His reports from his farm in upstate New York are marvelous.
This short piece was not a pastoral hymn, however, but a wry tribute to the 1947 film The Bishop's Wife, starring Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven. Grant plays Dudley, an angel sent to a bishop (Niven) at Christmas in answer to his prayers for help in raising money to build a cathedral. Watching The Bishop's Wife is a Christmas ritual in the Klinkenborg house, and he does a nice job of describing the movie's anachronistic appeal. As it happens, watching The Bishop's Wife is also a cherished Christmas ritual in the Baumann house. Klinkenborg's confession to this guilty pleasure seemed a wonderful bit of serendipity to me.
With his exceptional physical grace, personal magnetism, and infallible comic timing, Cary Grant was often mistaken for an angel. One of the movie's more amusing jokes is how the bishop's maid, played by Elsa Lanchester, sighs whenever Grant walks into a room. She seems to speak for all women when in the presence of this near-angel of a man. Or as my wife likes to say, quoting Sophia Loren, "Cary Grant knows what love means to a woman." Dudley clearly knows what love means...

2 Questions from the Community
This can be installed straight to your counter or onto some vessel sinks, depending on the mounting hole with the vessel sink.
Is this faucet meant to be installed directly into the counter or is it designed to be installed through a hole in a vessel sink?
A. This can be installed straight to your counter or onto some vessel sinks, depending on the mounting hole with the vessel sink.
The Fresca FFT1092 does not come with a drain assembly. This is very common for vessel faucets. You would most likely use this faucet with a vessel sink. Some sinks combos come with a pop up drains. For example, Kraus KCV-121 includes a pop-up drain.

Bring on Miami. The tragedy of Hurricane Sandy's devastation has turned tomorrow night's game vs. Miami at the Garden into the season opener. It's sort of appropriate since the Knicks offseason was geared solely on dethroning LeBron James' Miami Dream Team. And now they get this big early test...

Nuggets Get Andre Miller, Jordan Hamilton In Trade
Nuggets sent Raymond Felton to Portland for Andre Miller, and got #26 pick Jordan Hamilton in the deal.
It turned out to be quite a night for the Nuggets. The Portland Trail Blazers acquired guard Raymond Felton from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for veteran guard Andre Miller. Miller's non-guaranteed contract includes a $7.8 million team option by June 30, which made him attractive to the Nuggets. Felton, 27, has a year remaining on his contract that pays him $7.5 million. Miller, 35, averaged 12.7 points, 7 assists and 3.7 rebounds last season. Felton was traded in February from the New York Knicks to Denver, where he averaged 11.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 21 games. The Nuggets also got the #26 pick in tonight's draft in the deal, Jordan Hamilton of Texas. He averaged more than 18 points a game last season.

Cupid's Arrow
The word "love" has stumped people for ages. It has made people feel like they're floating, or become crybabies upon hearing a certain song. It has also made otherwise sensible people do crazy things.
Yet, as mysterious a force love is, there seems to be no surprise that it is capable of many, many things.
How about improving heart health? As ludicrous as it may sound -- yes -- there is proof that it can do that, too, and more.
"The evidence is very strong that good relationships have health benefits," says Blair Justice, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Texas School of Public Health.
According to Justice, various investigators have looked into different types of relationships (i.e. marriage, family, and friendship), and have shown that love can:
- Help prevent plaque buildup in the arteries.
- Protect against heart disease.
- Boost levels of antibodies in the body.
- Reduce levels of stress chemicals, which can damage the immune system.
- Lower risk of disease in general.
- Decrease risk of early death.
- Lengthen life.
Love's protective effect against heart disease has been tested in several settings.
Researchers who kept track of Italian American immigrants in Roseto, Penn., found that people who maintained close family ties as in their homeland tended to have less incidence of heart disease compared with other American communities, even though they ate a high-fat diet.
"Gradually, over time, a certain percentage of these (Italian American) families started to adopt more American ways -- getting more interested in the fast life, fancy cars, and country club memberships -- and they started getting the same incidence of heart disease as people who had been in this country," says Justice.
A long-term study was also done on Japanese Americans who moved to Hawaii and California, and the results were similar. Immigrants who adopted more American ways tended to have more incidence of heart disease compared with those who kept their traditional close family ties.
One theory explaining love's effect on physical health involves human nature. "It's instinctual to have this need for touching and talking," says Justice. He says the personal contact turns on a part of the nervous system, which has a calming effect, and allows for a smaller amount stress chemicals in the body.

Must the school district assume financial responsibility for the purchase of assistive technology devices and services if they are listed in the IEP?
The school district must assume financial responsibility for the provision of assistive technology devices and services that are identified by the IEP team unless the cost is covered by third party benefits or insurance coverage and the parents agree to use such coverage to pay the cost, or a donation to the school district is made. School districts may seek other sources of funding. However, the provision of assistive technology devices and services as determined necessary by the IEP Team must not be delayed by efforts to obtain outside funding and/or donations. If parents utilize their insurance coverage, then the parents must not be responsible for paying their insurance deductible and must not be compelled to have homeowners insurance to cover the assistive technology device. In short, there must be no cost to the parents. Therefore, the district should ensure that the district's insurance policy will cover the device during transporting to and while at school.

Stories from the Gulf: Kathlene's Testimony
Almost two years following Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi resident Kathlene Meier says she was still trying to rebuild her home pay check by pay check with only the help of her family, a process she expected would take many more years.
Imagine her relief when a knock on her door one day from a surprise visitor from The Salvation Army led to them receiving all the supplies they needed to complete their house. Kathlene shares the details of her story in the video above.
Kathlene is one of many people who found help rebuilding her home through The Salvation Army. We opened 84,000 cases helping 350,000 people with repair, rebuilding, furnishings and supplies.
And don't forget, today is The Resiliency Summit in New Orleans sponsored by The Salvation Army and FedEx. Follow the action on Twitter @salarmyalm and @salarmyeds!
Read more in our report "Hurricane Katrina: 5 Years On" about how The Salvation Army has provided relief to the Gulf Coast and helps it to continue to move forward.

|Colts | Quicker release for Andrew Luck?
Tue, 26 Jul 2016 17:46:55 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck would like to get rid of the ball quicker in 2016 in an effort to increase better health. Luck said eliminating things quickly, like routes on his drop back, will be key in a quicker release. "I think that's the skill set you learn as time goes on," Luck said, "the ability to eliminate one option and move on to the next."
Fantasy Tip: Luck has been battered and bruised plenty over his four-year career. An improved offensive line and a faster release should certainly pay off for Luck and the Colts offense. If the versatile quarterback can stay healthy through training camp and the preseason then he'll be worth selecting as a mid-range QB1.

|Colts | Healthy teammates to help Frank Gore
Fri, 15 Jul 2016 18:40:19 -0700
Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore's yards per carry fell from 4.1 to 3.5 when QB Andrew Luck was out of the lineup, and he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry in the three games OT Anthony Castonzo missed.
Fantasy Tip: He fell just short of 1,000 yards last season, and a healthy Luck could pay big dividends for the Gore. His age is a red flag, but Gore is still worth a look as a RB3 as the clear starter in Indianapolis.

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:32:22 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck with receive $60 million guaranteed by March of 2017. He will earn $81 million by March of 2018 and $87 million fully guaranteed by March of 2019.
Fantasy Tip: Luck is set, he just needs to stay healthy. The dead horse has been beaten already, but Luck should be considered as a top-five fantasy quarterback this year.

|Colts | More on Andrew Luck's deal
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:04:09 -0700
Updating previous items, Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck's five-year extension is actually a six-year deal. It is worth a little more than $139 million in total, which is a new NFL record. It also comes with $87 million in guaranteed money, also an all-time record.
Fantasy Tip: It's been said enough already, but Luck is one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and in fantasy football. View him as a top-five fantasy quarterback in fantasy drafts.

|Colts | Andrew Luck extension details
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:31:56 -0700
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck's five-year extension is worth $75 million over the first three years, according to a source. The amount is slightly less over the final two years.
Fantasy Tip: It's a big-time extension for a big-time quarterback. As stated previously, Luck is arguably the most complete quarterback in the league. He has extra fantasy value because of his running ability. An argument can be made to draft him as a top-three fantasy quarterback, but it's probably safer to take him as a top-five quarterback considering his injury history.

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 12:25:56 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck signed a five-year extension through 2021 Wednesday, June 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Fantasy Tip: The numbers should be record-breaking on this deal. Luck is arguably the most complete quarterback in the NFL when he's healthy. He's worth drafting as a top-five fantasy quarterback despite being nagged with injures last year.

|Colts | Andrew Luck on the move more?
Fri, 17 Jun 2016 09:39:43 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck will be on the move more in 2016, and offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer want to design more plays that can use Luck's athleticism outside of the pocket. Protecting Luck remains of utmost importance, though, and the Colts believe they have the personnel to do that. The Colts have used more rollouts in offseason practices.
Fantasy Tip: Designed rollouts are different from having Luck escape the pocket to use his legs for extra yards. The Colts have made it clear that they'd like their QB to avoid as many hits as possible after he sustained a serious injury in 2015 and missed a large chunk of time. With better protection and full health, Luck could easily be one of, if not the most, valuable fantasy quarterbacks.

|Colts | Andrew Luck is a full participant
Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:19:18 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck (abdomen, kidney) made all of his throws and looked in complete command during organized team activities (OTAs) after rehabilitation from a lacerated kidney. "He's got a lot in his mind he wants to prove," quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer said.
Fantasy Tip: Luck has a chip on his shoulder after an injury-marred 2015, and that's not good for the opposition. It is good for a returning T.Y. Hilton, and, of course, prospective fantasy owners. Luck won't go in the first round, but he could intrigue fantasy owners starting at the end of Round 2 when looking for that bona fide No. 1 fantasy signal caller with something to prove.

|Colts | Andrew Luck learning to slide
Fri, 10 Jun 2016 18:55:09 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck is reluctantly accepting the fact that he needs to slide when he leaves the pocket, OT Anthony Castonzo said.
Fantasy Tip: Luck has the potential to be the top fantasy quarterback, but he can't help owners if he is sitting on the sidelines. He should be one of the first quarterbacks selected in drafts in 2016.

Fri, 10 Jun 2016 18:44:09 -0700
Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck is improving with every practice, head coach Chuck Pagano said, and Luck said he is "physically and mentally" a better quarterback.
Fantasy Tip: Injuries ruined Luck's 2015 season, but he should still be viewed as a top-five fantasy quarterback in 2016.

I would like to create a private network off of my work production network. I'm going to be testing some software on this network, and I can't have any traffic from the test boxes interfering with the production network. But I still need internet access for these test machines. If I connect the WAN port on the router to the production network LAN, will I be able to accomplish my goal?
As long as the router is not running any dynamic routing protocols and a gateway to the internet is set (and any required routes to it in any routers in between), yes.
You might want to use a different private IP address range as well, just to be extra sure.
This is something you should discuss with your network team. You will most likely be breaking the acceptable use policy by doing this and could get into trouble. The network team may be using some kind of layer 2 security that would prevent you from plugging a rogue device into your network port, whether it's sticky mac addresses or 802.1x. If you explain the situation to them they might even be able to setup a better solution for you. If not, the router might work if they don't have security setup.

first of all: thank you for such an "out-of-the-box" great working theme!
on your gamepress demo site, the slider shows only 4 featured posts, although you've got plenty of them.
i use the slider on my own page, and he shows EVERY post i've made within the configured category. that's pretty much and useless, too.
i need the slider for recent postings (like reviews/articles) and i just want it to show the last 5 posts automatically. is there any possibility to change these settings or should i manage this by changing category manually after a period of time?
thanks for your help =)

BEIJING (AP) - Senior U.S. diplomats on today gave new details of the collision between a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet, saying the Chinese pilot crashed into the Navy EP-3E's left engine after twice flying within three feet of the aircraft. The officials said the Chinese jet then struck the plane's nose, snapped in half and plunged into the sea.
The disclosures were based in part on the debriefing of the spy plane's 24-member crew and added to U.S. claims that the Chinese pilot caused the collision over the South China Sea. The incident led to the detention of the American crew and an acrimonious 11-day standoff.
Also today, the wife of the missing Chinese pilot was quoted by state media as expressing sympathy to the families of the U.S. crew for their long separation. "I wish the crew a safe journey," she was quoted as saying.
The diplomats said the U.S. Navy plane made 15 to 25 distress calls before making an emergency landing at a Chinese air base. The U.S. version contradicted the account given by Chinese officials, who claim they American plane swerved into the fighter jet. They also said they did not hear any distress call and accuse the U.S. pilot of illegally entering their airspace.
The diplomats briefed reporters on condition that they not be named or identified further.
They said that despite repeated overtures they did not have their first contact with Chinese officials until nearly 12 hours after the April 1 crash. They complained that China immediately took a confrontational stance instead of treating the collision as an accident.
According to the diplomats, two Chinese F-8 fighter planes took off from Hainan island to trail the U.S. plane, which was on a surveillance mission 64 miles off the coast.
One of the jets approached the four-engined American aircraft three times, from the left and behind. The first two passes came within three to five feet of the left wing, the U.S. diplomats said.
On the third pass, the Chinese pilot apparently realized he was closing in too fast and tried to swing his plane to cut speed, the diplomats said, citing the account by the American crew. He hit the outer propeller on the left wing, the inner engine and then the U.S. aircraft's nose.
The impact broke the Chinese fighter in half. The diplomats said they did not know whether the pilot ejected.
After the collision, the U.S. plane plummeted some 8,000 feet. On regaining control, the crew sent distress calls on a frequency that planes and control towers are supposed to monitor. There was no response.

I'm using a Netgear WGT624 Router for my firm's intranet. At home I'm using a router called NSW-R2 by Gembird..
What I want to do is connecting my PC at home (Windows XP) to my firm's intranet so I can print on my LAN Printer or edit files on my NAS.
I've heard about VPN tunnels, but I don't want to keep my firm PC on 24 hours a day. So is it somehow possible, to build a VPN or something similar by only using the Netgear WGT624 Router?
Edit/More Information: I've steup a DDNS. My Router supports Port-Forwarding. I'm currently using Remote Desktop. Both PC run Windows XP Professional.

Very good writing, and the "blood duelist" idea is great. Likewise would I like to hear of the origin of the cloth!
I would not touch that cloth,that's for sure. 5/5
I am shocked: this is really heads and shoulders better than most of the RPG stuff I have ever read. The item is what it is and so what, as Lagantha might say, but the prose just flows so easily and your tone is so conversational that it draws us in. A good read.
I would like to link this to the fantasy fabrics codex if you don't mind.
Memorable, and intriuging, I would of enjoyed a more in depth retelling of Tibers fight with The Hounds of Blood, it would be a memorable battle to be sure!
The addition of the origns of the cloth really helped bring the piece togther for me, and gave it a bit of "legendary" status. I can see a few adventures involvign a scholar/wizard attempting to uncover these origins for either intellectual, or more nefarious means.
I also noticed the hint at the origins of Blood Duelists, any chance of seeing this as a seperate sub?
Go to Comment
I like the addition of the blood duelist history, rounds out the piece nicely :)
History of the Blood Duelist
In elder days gone by, when the world still lived in barbarity, and civilization was a new word upon the lips of man, dogs were considered to be protectors sent down by the gods. Over time the idea of protector became broader until it encompassed judgements passed upon dangerous criminals.
Dogs who were no longer capable of hunting or guarding were put to use as executioners for those convicted of violent crimes. The condemned would be bound to posts and set upon by the dogs until dead.
One such condemned man was found guilty of murder, even though all knew it was in self defense against the thug of a rich man. Unable to bear the thought of his son being torn apart by dogs, the man's father pled to be executed instead, saying, "Let me duel the gods of judgement for my son's life." An allowance was made, with the added condition that if he were to survive for a set amount of time, his son would be set free.
Thus began the tradition of the Blood Duelist.
I agree with Cheka. I would be more interested in a story of how the cloth came into being than how it was found, but the writing and the idea is great.
Not sure why there aren't any comments but I couldn't take seeing it without anymore.
Fairly basic creationalism with all the race stereotypes. That might be why the lack of comments. I will admit I haven't dug into the others but this just doesn't draw me in. There is no hook or uniqueness that really sets it apart and it makes it difficult to comment on.
I am certain once I dig farther there will be those things, but this main post doesn't draw me in.
The Githalti and the Lheans need to be expanded, of course - while they may keep to themselves, the intrepid PCs will no doubt pester them, and the GM needs to be prepared.
I thought on this a little: the Elves could be manipulative bastards. Just consider it: you have limited resources, limited space, and all those humans and orcs breed like rabbits. The only thing that keeps them from fillingg every space is that they kill each other constantly.
What if they stopped?
With a little encouragement, they are prone to go bashing each other again. With elven guile and sorcery, this is all but child's play.
So, the elves play the factions off againt each other, to draw attention away from their secluded homeland.
They may even acknowledge that some humans have potential, and lure them away, giving rise to all the myths about faeries abducting children.

If I'm honest, I will tell you, I still read fairy tales. And I like them best of all." -Audrey Hepburn
I would describe myself as shy at first, mild-mannered, and friendly. I'm most at peace listening to music, reading a book, or being with family and friends. I'm a New Orleans girl at heart, so you can also find me exploring the city, listening to live jazz, or checking out one of our fabulous restaurants. Feel free to ask about anything else. The person for me will be both my best friend and love. He'll be someone I can sit with for hours at a time, just talking, while never getting bored. He should be a man with integrity, just a bit old-fashioned (chivalrous, hard-working, etc.), and very affectionate. I'm most attracted to men who are self-assured and assertive. Confidence, in my opinion, is one of the sexiest things in the world. While I'm not particularly concerned about the number of letters behind a man's name, I would like my partner to be informed about what's happening in this country, around the world, and how it affects him and his community.

I'm addicted to Sons of Anarchy, Criminal Minds, and True Blood. Some of my favorite movies are: all the Harry Potters, The Twilight Saga (dont judge me!), anything Jane Austen- both the books and movies, The Godfather trilogy, Star Wars.
I've been so busy lately that all I want to do in my free time is stay home with a blanket and my kindle. I do however love to listen to live music, dancing, cultural venues such as the opera and museums, and just being with friends and family.

How Health Reform Affects Insurance Costs: FAQ
I take good care of my health. Can I start getting preventive services free of charge?
You may now be able to get a number of preventive treatments and services without extra out-of-pocket costs.
Out-of-pocket payments are medical costs that you have to pay on your own, often through a copay, coinsurance, or a deductible . A copay is a set amount you have to pay for a health service that's covered by your insurance plan. For instance, each time you see a doctor you may pay $15, and your health plan pays the rest of the charges. Coinsurance is a percentage of the cost of health care services. For instance, you might pay 20% of the cost when you see a doctor and your health plan pays the rest.
Preventive services that your insurance will pay for include:
- Screenings for certain diseases and health risks, such as a mammogram to screen for breast cancer and a blood test to check for type 2 diabetes
- Some vaccinations , such as a flu shot
- Certain services for women, such as birth control , well-woman visits, and some screenings specific to women, such as a Pap test
- Some services for children and teens , such as screening for autism spectrum disorder, depression, drug use, hearing problems, and certain vaccinations
You must see an in-network provider in order to get these services without having to pay out-of-pocket costs at the time of your visit.

GMC revived the Envoy name for 2002 on a new midsize SUV related to the Chevrolet TrailBlazer. All models are available in rear- or four-wheel-drive powertrains. The Envoy comes with an inline-six-cylinder engine, while the high-end Denali edition gets its own V-8 powertrain with cylinder deactivation. Competitors include the Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota 4Runner. The Envoy can seat five people.
New for 2009
There are no significant changes for the 2009 GMC Envoy.
A shield-shaped convex grille, wedged headlamps and boldly defined character lines help the Envoy fit in with GMC's 'professional grade' theme. The upscale Denali edition also features a honeycomb grille with an integrated air dam to channel air to the engine. The Envoy measures 191.6 inches in length and 74.7 inches wide, similar to the 4Runner and Explorer but wider and longer than the Grand Cherokee.
- Chrome bodyside moldings
- Standard 17-inch aluminum wheels
- Optional 18-inch high-polished forged-aluminum wheels
- Two-wheel-drive Envoy Denali gets 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels
- Available assist steps
The Envoy has reclining front buckets and a split, folding rear bench seat. Interior appointments in the Denali version include leather seats with French-seam stitching. All Envoys come with standard quiet packaging, which includes a laminated windshield and strategically placed sound insulation material.
Cargo volume behind the back seats measures 43.7 cubic feet. With the bench folded down, the Envoy offers 80.1 cubic feet of cargo space, which is similar to the Explorer but more than the 4Runner's 75.1 cubic feet and the Grand Cherokee's 67.4 cubic feet.
- Standard leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Standard cruise control
- Optional power-adjustable pedals
- Optional Bose audio and navigation system
- New Bluetooth phone connectivity
Under the Hood
All Envoys come with a four-speed automatic transmission. Envoys are available with rear-wheel drive or Autotrac four-wheel drive, which incorporates a two-speed transfer case. The only engine offered is an inline-six-cylinder; Denali trims come with an upgraded V-8.
- 285-horsepower, 4.2-liter inline-six-cylinder (276 pounds-feet of torque)
- 300-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 (321 pounds-feet of torque) featuring cylinder-deactivation technology, which increases fuel economy by shutting off four cylinders at highway speeds
- Air-adjustable load-leveling suspension system (Denali edition)
- Engine block heater (optional on four-wheel-drive models)
No side-impact thorax airbags are offered, but side curtain airbags for the first and second rows can sense an impending rollover and deploy. Standard safety features include:
- Side curtain airbags for first and second rows
- Four-disc antilock brakes
- Electronic stability system
- Traction control

We had a wordpress site in a sub-dir with apache using an Alias to get to it as the DocumentRoot was set to some non-WP, static files.
Now we are trying to convert to multisite and we want the existing wordpress sub-dir to stay in that path. While the new default site will live @ the root path (i.e. / ) & so the DocumentRoot is now seta to WP. We also updated the permalinks setting to remove the /blog/ slug as we don't want any of our existing URLs to change.
After following the conversion instructions, we have been getting inconsistent results. We updated the entry in the wp_site table which had the sub-dir path and changed it to the root path (i.e. / ). When not logged in, the root path usually shows the original sub-dir path's content. When logged in, everything seems to load as expected.

When we think of the brass instrument ownership experience, the first things that come to mind are rehearsals, performances and music theory. But there's something else that's equally important, and that's cleaning. Getting the best sound out of your instrument - not to mention preserving its appearance and resale value - depends on having the supplies and know-how needed to keep it in great shape. Thankfully, those supplies are easy to find here in this selection of brushes, snakes and cleaning rods. Made especially for cleaning brass instruments, they make routine care a breeze, so you can get your horn all spruced up in the blink of an eye.
The right brushes, snakes and cleaning rods for your instrument will naturally depend on what instrument that is. Yamaha's trombone snake, for instance, is a lot bigger than their trumpet snake - each one is designed to fit its respective instrument. They're both top sellers, of course, as are the Denis Wick Flexible Trombone Euphonium Snake Brush and the H.W. Brass-Saver Cleaning Brushes. Don't forget your mouthpiece as well! With a specialty brush like the Protec Protector Trumpet Mouthpiece Brush, you can keep it squeaky clean.
Want to give your instrument the most thorough cleaning possible? In that case, be sure not to miss Herco's Spitballs. Don't be put off by the name - they're not THAT kind of spitball. In fact, they're actually pieces of foam specially treated with a cleaning solution. You can blow them right through the instrument's tubing, which allows them to clean it from end to end, beyond the reach of even the bendiest snake. For trumpets, cornets, French horns and small-bore trombones, go for the Trumpet Spitballs. For tenor trombones and baritone horns, the Large Bore Spitballs are the size you need.
A good, well-rounded cleaning kit contains a wide assortment of tools and supplies, so don't feel pressured to settle for just one or two of the brushes, snakes and cleaning rods in this section. You can pick up as many different styles as you want to make sure you'll always have the right tool for the job. The most important thing is that your instrument gets clean, because that will help it last longer and sound better - which is well worth the investment in cleaning supplies.

Family business creates stars for Hollywood Walk of Fame
Published: Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 27, 2010 at 10:27 a.m.
LOS ANGELES — The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a pretty impressive piece of work — a 2 and a half-mile-long stretch of sparkling stars and glistening squares.
But what is arguably the world's most famous sidewalk is just the tip of the terrazzo iceberg for its installers.
For the last half-century, the Paternostro family has been making not only the walk's tributes to entertainment notables but also displays at theme parks, movie multiplexes, government buildings, hospitals, schools, fire stations and airports.
The family's Sun Valley-based Top End Constructors also had a hand in adorning the Glendale Galleria, the new Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, Las Vegas' Palms Resort ... and the list goes on.
"Hollywood is a nice, regular thing to get our name out there," said Travis Paternostro, the company's 24-year-old estimator, who oversees the Walk of Fame installations. "But a lot of our work is just public bid jobs, big commercial jobs."
However, nothing beats the Walk of Fame's combination of glamour, tradition and sentimental satisfaction.
"My dad (Biaggio) did it before me, so I like being able to follow in his footsteps," said 54-year-old David Paternostro, Travis' dad and Top End's president.
"It's a friendly thing to do with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and we enjoy being on the boulevard, especially when it's stars that we've either watched on TV or when their movies came out."
The chamber's Ana Martinez-Holler has worked with every generation of Paternostro since she began producing the Walk of Fame ceremonies in 1987.
"They've all been very easy to work with, very helpful," Martinez-Holler said. "They'll move a star around, position it for me when I ask. They have donated their time and some work in the past.
"And they love being part of the history," she said. "There aren't too many craftsmen doing this out there, and I think they're proud of their heritage and what they do."
Biaggio Paternostro worked on the first trial stars for the Walk of Fame back in 1958. And companies owned by him or his sons have installed each of the 2,418 stars since — from the first dedicated to Joanne Woodward on Feb. 9, 1960, to Disney character Tinker Bell's unveiled last week.
David, who ran a waterproofing business, took over his father's contract when Biaggio retired and moved to Arizona. David's brother Bill and Bill's son, also named Biaggio, now fill out the permanent Top End team.
The 3-by-3-foot black squares and coral pink stars are made out of cement-based terrazzo, while the stars' names and emblems embedded in them are brass. It's pretty sturdy stuff that dates back to medieval Venice.
"So far, so good," the younger Biaggio said of how well the stars are holding up under constant foot traffic, memento laying and flash photography along the landmark Hollywood and Vine corridor.
The terrazzo binder is mixed with an aggregate that provides shine and sparkle and is usually poured wet at the site, then ground and polished to a high sheen.
Crushed marble left over from building projects was the aggregate of choice for centuries, making terrazzo one of the first great recycled materials.
These days, aggregates can be made of pretty much anything — various types of marble, different kinds of glass.
"You can throw in blacklight-reactive plastics," Biaggio said "Silver glitter, mother-of-pearl, it's pretty neat."
Travis added: "Our amber glass, if you look very closely into some of the bags, you'll see ripped-up Budweiser labels and stuff like that. And the way people are going green, who knows what else they'll recycle."
Progress can be an enemy to terrazzo, however. The Paternostros had to remove and store the stars around Hollywood & Highland during construction of the Red Line subway station.
And, at times, nature has had to be accommodated.
"Elvis," Travis recalled. "Tree roots. We had to move him."
As they have done in the past, the Paternostros donated time and creativity to the walk's 50th anniversary celebration this year.
"There's an emblem that we designed and donated that goes into every star that's put on the boulevard this year," David said. "It's a 4-inch diameter piece of brass with a 50-year logo that goes right below the star itself."
Top End is also working on a special terrazzo square that will cover a time capsule the chamber plans to bury next month under Hollywood Boulevard.
"It's not a star, but it has a lot of inscriptions of the original people who got stars, and we're putting all of the emblems — motion picture, recording, television, radio and live theater/performance — in this one square, plus an 8-inch, 50th anniversary logo in the center," David said.
For all their connection to Hollywood, the Paternostros are pleased to be working out of their functional Sun Valley facility, the latest of several Los Angeles locations their companies have had over the decades.
"We moved here around 1998," Travis figured. "It's very centrally located to all of our work."
While most of their projects depend on scrupulous craftsmanship and professionalism, it should come as no surprise that the Paternostros also consider themselves artists.
"Yes, we do, especially on some of the designs that we have to do," David said. "It's a lot of intricate work.
"We have to work with architects and designers at the inception of the job. A lot of the architects come over to our office and we'll sit down with them for hours sometimes, looking at different drawings and sketches and colors and designs of what they want before it even goes on a blueprint."
And they do get referrals.
"I get a lot of calls from other people wondering who does our terrazzo," the Hollywood Chamber's Martinez-Holler said. "So we definitely recommend them."
"I think we're carrying on the tradition well," David said. "Travis still oversees the stars. He was out there last week polishing Tinker Bell. When I retire, he'll be running the whole thing."

PSA Level for Radiation Therapy after Surgery
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a prostatectomy in December 2005 for prostate cancer. In August 2007, my PSA rose to .051 ng/mL, following a continuing increase from .01 ng/mL following surgery. I am seeking radiation therapy at a local hospital, where they offer 3DCRT for post-prostatectomy patients. Is this therapy necessary?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
A PSA of 0.05 ng/mL may occur after prostatectomy and not necessarily mean that there is disease recurrence. Our group looked at the University of Pennsylvania series of about 210 prostate cancer patients status post prostatectomy. We found that 10% of the patients who had PSA levels of 0.20 ng/mL had spontaneous resolution of the PSA without any therapy. One patient hit 0.30 ng/mL and had resolution after passing a kidney stone. Our threshold is generally 0.40 ng/mL, which still appears to be a "safe" level to wait until, based on data from Dr. Erick Kline at the Cleveland Clinic. His work has demonstrated that the results with post-operative radiation that is initiated when the PSA level is <1.5 ng/mL appear to be just as favorable and successful as when it is started at a PSA level of <0.5 ng/mL.
