The OAuth protocol reached final draft during October. It is a protocol allowing websites, web applications or desktop applications to access Service Resources via an API without requiring Users to disclose their credentials. It is an open and decentralised protocol.
A simple use case would be Twitter. At present, Twitter applications such as Spaz.air or Twitterer require a User's login username and password (their credentials) in order to access the timeline of other Users they are following or send updates (tweets). This raises a risk that such applications may use those credentials to change the User's password, send "tweets" without their permission, or other unauthorised actions. Implementing OAuth, such an application would be able to perform limited authorised actions without requiring Users to disclose their credentials. In effect, this is similar to establishing API Key and indeed OAuth builds upon existing standards. OAuth is therefore perfect also in situations where a Service Provider is not aware of a User's credentials, as is the case when a Provider implements OpenID. In OpenID, credentials are centralised to a single OpenID Provider and implementing Consumers will require an alternate means of allowing authenticated User's to access their Service Resources via an API. OAuth is not an OpenID extension, but does complement it.Zend Framework: Zend_Service_OAuth Component Proposal

0.9 - 05 October 2007 (wiki revision: 5)
Table of Contents
1. Overview
2. References
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
Zend_Crypt_Rsa (proposal pending)
5. Theory of Operation
Hypothetical Example:
A Service Provider engaged in allowing User's to answer one question "What are you NOT doing?" has determined that requiring User credentials to access their Web Service API is unnecessarily risky. To improve User security, and allow for future OpenID adoption, they determine to implement OAuth.
The Service Providers provides to Users details of how to register for a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, and declares several new URLs including:
Request Token URL:
https://example.com/request_token, using HTTP POST
User Authorization URL:
http://example.com/authorize, using HTTP Authorize Header
Access Token URL:
https://example.com/access_token, using HTTP POST
The Service Provider provides support for HMAC-SHA1 signature authenticated coding. RSA-SHA1 is also a possible alternative (though not for this example! ).
1. Obtaining an initial Request Token (Requesting Approval)
Joe Bloggs, a User, visits a third-party web application from which he wishes to view and post new updates to the Service Provider. The application tries to access the User's posts but receives a HTTP 401 Unauthorized header including the following response header:
WWW-Authenticate: OAuth realm="http://example.com/authorize"
The application sends back a HTTP POST request:
The Service Provider verifies the oauth_signature value and sends back an unauthorised (requires User authorisation) Request Token in the response body:
2. Obtaining User Authorisation of Request (Approve Request)
The application at this point redirects the User to the Service Provider Authorization URL so that Joe can approve the application's access to the Service Provider.
Joe will log in using either his credentials, or via OpenID. He may then approve the application's access. Once approved, the Service Provider will redirect back to the Consuming web application with:
3. Obtaining an Access Token on foot of an approved Request Token (Gaining Access)
Now that the web application is approved for access, they can request an Access Token to replace the Request Token:
The Service Provider will check the signature, and reply an Access Token in the response body:
The Consuming application is now ready to make authorised requests of the Web Service API. If the Web Service API URL is unsecured (not HTTPS) then subsequent requests must be signed using HMAC-SHA1 to protect the Access Token from being intercepted and being used by an unauthorised party.
Security Notes: PLAINTEXT style requests are intended only for use across a secured connection. Otherwise a cryptographic method such as Diffie-Hellman may be utilised (unspecified). Consumer Access Tokens should not be used to assume a Consumer is a User. Access Tokens should allow only limited authorised actions. Phishing remains an issue. Users must be careful that Service Provider URLs they are redirected to for entering credentials are authenticated.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: Write unit tests capturing the agreed interface and behaviour
- Milestone 2: Write the code required to pass all unit tests
- Milestone 3: Write integration tests to cover various edge cases
- Milestone 4: Verify that code does not compromise backwards compatibility with ZF 1.0.2
- Milestone 5: Complete documentation
Milestones will commence only if proposal has been accepted for development.
7. Class Index
- Zend_Service_OAuth
- Zend_Service_OAuth_Exception
- Others may be determined during development

"He is fast,'' Perry said. "He is so quick. He's strong also, but his speed is just ... he's the quickest kid I've seen. He's got a good chance [of winning a state championship].
"He's going to have to go out and wrestle hard. Nobody is going to lie down. He's going to earn it. He's just a good kid. We love him to death. He's a hard worker and I'm glad to be his coach.''
Mack has been encouraged by his results.
"I've wrestled some tough kids and kids who have beaten me in the past and I beat them this year,'' he said.
"I lost to [Tyler Parker of Greenbrier West] early in the season and I've beaten him since then. Those are all good signs. I think I work pretty hard. I have high expectations for myself, and in order to reach those you have to work for it.''
Mack has been one of the bright spots this season for an inexperienced Huskies squad. Sophomore Zane Weese, No. 5 at 195, is the only Hoover wrestler to earn a ranking.
"We're young, which I knew going into the season,'' said Perry, who guided Hoover to an eighth-place finish at last year's AA-A state tournament. "I knew after our first match we were going to be in trouble.
"You get the middle of your lineup and it's all freshmen, you're going to have a tough year. We're coming. They're freshmen this year and they'll be sophomores next year. I have two kids that are doing pretty well and maybe two others that'll go [to the state tournament], but I don't see us getting anywhere near the top 10.''

ø Ignore 1of3I'm very disappointed, having read that article.
Monte completely ignores the fact that fiction is not related to mechanis, except when they are. Therefore anything can happen in the fiction, with very little happening in the mechanics.
Wednesday, 6th June, 2012, 09:05 PM #53
The main assumption of this essay is unfounded: tight-rules systems in no way prevent DMs making rulings, or relying on logic.
If the rules say "It takes 2 turns and a roll to clean off the itchy powder", there is absolutely nothing preventing the DM from deviating from that rule and saying "OK, jumping in water does it immediately", or "using your canteen auto-succeeds the roll". The rule can only help. It can only give the DM and players a baseline expectation. Saying "you've got itchy powder on you", and that's all, is not any kind of improvement. It can only make the GM's job harder.
Now, that doesn't mean you need fiddly rules for everything. A game system can be generic. For example, in Strands of Fate, that itchy powder would just be an aspect applied by a maneuver. It would have clear mechanics to it. They'd just be mechanics that also apply to lots of other things.
Also, the section on "GM may I?" dodges the issue. There is no real difference between "May I do X" and "Does it seem possible for my character to do X". If the answer to the question is based on GM "logic" and fiat, and not on game mechanics, then it is asking the GM for permission, either way.

ø Ignore LwaxyAnd then some GMs ,may say jumping into the water isn't in the rules so it won't work that way.
My Story Hour campaigns. What are they up to this week?
Wednesday, 6th June, 2012, 09:44 PM #55
That isn't a matter of game design or rules systems. And a DM basing his decisions on "logic" could very well say it doesn't work that way, simply because, in fact, not all itching agents can be removed with simple water.
The thesis of the article is that rules somehow limit DMs and players from doing what they want to do. They do not. Rules can never limit a DM. They can never limit what the DM allows their players to do. The rules can only define what the players can expect to be able to do without asking for case-by-case permission. Rules give options. They never take them away.
Wednesday, 6th June, 2012, 10:04 PM #56
Some players, and even some GMs, hide behind rules. The article doesn't really address that problem, and I'm not sure it should try, given the topic. The advice of how to do things is different from the advice on "stop hiding behind stuff," and the latter isn't really part of the rules at all.

To me, computer games have taken the debate out of this topic.
When it comes to tight, clearcut rulesets...you can't beat Computer Games and MMOS.
The only real place that RPGs have left to compete is around the DM. The interaction between DM and player is really the core of Pen and Paper, and its the one thing no computer game has come close to mirroring.
So I agree with Monte, successful modern gaming systems need to pull away from rules and more towards freeform interaction.Is your game having issues with Grind? Check out Stalker0's Guide to Anti-Grind
Do you want a skill challenge system that is less mechanical and encourages more roleplaying? Try my Obsidian Skill Challenge System
Like the core 4e system, but prefer a more balanced system with additional options? Try my Alternate Core Skill Challenge System

Sure you can. Many board games have much tighter, cleaner, and clearer designs than computer games and MMOs. Most computer games and MMOs have at least a few poorly documented, mysterious mechanics, that players can only figure out through experimentation, if at all.
The only real place that RPGs have left to compete is around the DM. The interaction between DM and player is really the core of Pen and Paper, and its the one thing no computer game has come close to mirroring.
Having a DM around just means you've got your own personal content designer and game-system bug-fixer. Good rules make for better games, no matter the medium.
So I agree with Monte, successful modern gaming systems need to pull away from rules and more towards freeform interaction.

Fit true to size. I wear a 6 but always put a heel lift and shoe pads inside so I bought a 6.5. Seems like it will fit with a thin sock. 4" heel looks great and sexy. I have thin calves so they fit a little loose. This will give me space to get skinny jeans in them. I plan to wear these at work with a sweater dress or out to dinner.

I bought two of these pillows hoping they would match fabric that I used tp cover some chairs. They matched perfectly and I am happy with them.
Great color and design; also the size is perfect - not too large or small.
I love these pillows. The yellow color is much darker than pictured but still look great with my decor. I am thinking of ordering more. The only con is the size, I wish the were a little larger.
These pillows are perfect and gorgeous. All of my friends are obsessed and asked where I got them. The color itself is a little less yellow and a little on the orange side. I got them to match other pillows that I have a yellow stripe in them, although the yellows don't match, it still works.
These two yellow chevron patterned pillows are great for my patio. They are bright yellow and white and cheer up my backyard. You also can't beat the price!
Based on the reviews, I expected the pillow to be mustard yellow in color, which is what I wanted. They look fantastic on our front patio cedar wood bench and the price was right. The pillows are basic - not high end and not cheap, but I'm overall pleased with the entire purchase.

Departures by month
From Peace Corps Wiki
(The page was created to act as a starting point for future edits.)
The following table was made by looking at the departure dates of over 3,000 country/assignment combinations that left for service during the years 2000-2007 inclusive. (obtained through the FOIA) This should be used as a guide only as:
- During those years a specific country/assignment may have moved to a different month to begin staging
- 2008 was partially available, up to September, but was not included as it would add more groups for the months for Jan - Sept and nothing for Oct - Dec.
- The percentages are based on historical data
To see exact departure dates for a specific recent year, select a year and then a month:
2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 |
(Note: 2008 is more accurately reflected in the Timeline Archive)

The region got its first taste of winter Monday. Jamie Enderlen with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the snow fall varied from about a tenth of an inch to an inch and a half, with Valparaiso receiving one-point-four inches of snow. Enderlen says Chicago still has not received any any measurable snow, meaning at least a tenth of an inch, for 281 consecutive days as of midnight, which breaks their 18 year record of consecutive days without snow. Enderlen says the next chance of precipitation comes over the weekend, with the possibility of rain changing over to snow.

Open SpacesSpeculations on Openings, Closings, and Thresholds in International Public Media |
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
Blog post written by Patricia Zimmermann, professor of cinema, photography and media arts at Ithaca College, and codirector of the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival
The Big Question
Film studies online? Impossible, you say?
This winter term, I took the dive. I gulped down the red pill and jacked into the matrix of online film studies.
And I am having one of the absolutely most transformative and best teaching experiences of my career as a film studies prof.
I have to thank Facebook for teaching me how to engage by asking questions and responding, rather than lecturing and having positions on everything…crazy, I know.
I nestled my intro film studies course into a participatory Web 2.0 environment. I decided to teach online. Insane? Not quite.
I figure, if students can argue about the delicacies of self-amputation in 127 Hours and the obsessive intricacies of anorexic, self-scratching ballerinas Black Swan on Facebook, they can handle some discussion about Battleship Potemkin and other, well, battleships of film history.
I tossed out all of my graduate-film-school-in–the-1970s-cinephiliac-film must-be- seen-in-a-theater–on-35mm-film-preconceptions along with all of my dog-eared copies of Christian Metz and various imaginary signifiers this winter.
And I dove into teaching an intensive two week winter term course called Introduction to Film Aesthetics and Analysis for Ithaca College. Online. All of it. And, I'm having one of the best teaching experiences ever.
Here's some context.
Context #1
Film studies is not one of those intimate, 10-15 person, sit in a circle, know your professor, talk-a-LOT-about-your-impressions kinds of experiences. The topography features a body of knowledge to learn, complex histories to understand, and methods for deconstructing films that require rigor. And reading. Lots of it.
At Ithaca College, our lower level film studies courses are large, like they are at most places that teach disciplinary based undergrad film. My Intro course had 155 students, with "small" (really?) break out sections of 32. I love the large classes. Programming films and ideas for a large, mostly eager, crowd entices intellectually.
But here's the rub.
I've only taught smallish classes a handful of times in three decades of teaching—a couple of 24 person seminars at Ithaca College, and then, some seminars on new media during two different stints at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. I'm one of those traditionalists, with lectures, books (more than one, and at least 100 pages a week ), and screenings on big screens, often in the local art cinema on 35mm.
So online, guess how many students I have? 5.
Yes, that's not a typo. 5.
I know them all. They are reading more than Julian Assange at WikiLeaks.
They write EVERYDAY. I can drill into their exegetical work on the readings as well as their analytical work with much more precision and care than when I have so many more students.
In this context, I can coach them to become more sophisticated deconstructors of cinema, and more persuasive argumentative writers. I've seen these students make huge, huge leaps in just two days after absorbing detailed criticism from me in the form of track changes, a system I actually use when doing collaborative research with partners in different parts of the US.
Context #2
For the last two years, I've been working with Sam Gregory from WITNESS, the nongovernmental organization working with human rights participatory media, on a large, on-going research project probing ethics in human rights social media.
We've been thinking quite a bit about questions of representation in participatory online environments where images and words circulate, remix, morph, change. In these networks, images can not be controlled.
So questions of who says what to whom in what channel--traditional research questions of communication-- and how and why it said--the domain of traditional documentary studies-- shift a bit. When social media meets human rights meets advocacy campaigns in RL (real life), the body enduring oppression and the bodies recirculating its images in Web 2.0 landscapes end up functioning as equal parts of the equation.
Production and consumption, representation and exhibition, giving voice and sharing voices, merge. And this blend is rife with ethical problematics. The human rights issues of protecting the dignity of the victim get amplified, as images can no longer be controlled, and representations are no longer fixed.
This research has prompted me to rethink how my students engage online with courses.
What parts of what they do in a class should be public, open for circulation and commentary? What parts should be shared in a controlled environment open only to the class? What parts should be private communiqués between professor and student?
Can thinking through the ethics of human rights social media and forms of engagement that connect to important advocacy campagins about rape in the Congo or water rights in Bangalore be mobilized to engage another group that is not part of the power elite, and can also be victimized by networks, i.e. undergraduates?
Is there a way to organize a course to traverse these different kinds of publics, respecting the dignity of the student in a human rights framework? And is there a way to think of teaching as advocacy work for serious intellectual engagement?
My tentative, provisional answer: yes
Context #3
The third context emerges from my sabbatical teaching at Nanyang Technological Univesrity in Singapore, a country besotted with bad press and postmodern orientalism.
At NTU, one week of every term is MANDATORY (yes, you read that right, MANDATORY) online education, called e-learning week. This week where faculty are instructed NOT to appear in their classrooms was not prompted by some marketing firm telling an institution of higher education to get with the dizzying apps of Web 2.0, or any dreams of creating a profit center to offset the Great Recession.
A small country at the equator, Singapore also boasts of the best public health systems in the world.
Connection, you ask?
Well, it turns out that e-learning week is designed for emergency preparedness in case of punishing monsoons or the need to quarantine to stall the outbreak of deadly diseases like SARS.
Full disclosure: I was quite skeptical about doing film studies this way. But this was a case study in the lessons of cyber-Buddhism. My students taught me something I would never have learned in an e-learning seminar--they loved it.
They wrote more, argued more, watched more, dug in deeper, and engaged complex ideas in a more systematic way. They studied media produced around the war in Vietnam, which, in Southeast Asia, is actually called The American War.
IMPOSSIBLE to hide, and IMPOSSIBLE to not participate (well, I required participation by specifying the number of postings required on Blackboard. ) students just keep on writing, and writing, and writing. I learned that how I structured the discussion board questions made a huge difference: questions need to eschew easy, instrumental answers.
I also learned to just keep asking questions. That's my Facebook apprenticeship (shout out: my friend and writing collaborator Helen de Michiel pushed me to get on FB about two years ago. She told me to imagine it as a "cocktail party" not a "soapbox." Thanks, Helen!)
Lesson Learned
Since I was in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin in the late 1970s, the discipline of film/media studies has pushed and pushed to frame cinema as a "text."
The convergence of semiotics, structuralism, Marxism and feminism argued films were constructions that obscured power relations, meanings, and ideologies. Doing a decoupage of a film, cutting it apart shot by shot to unpack its structure and meaning, was central.
We were all a bunch of decoupage junkies. The thrill of the deconstructive kill. But back then, it was really hard to do: you needed an archive with a flatbed editor.
As film theorists Charles Acland, Barbara Klinger and Dale Hudson have pointed out, cinephilia has changed. Films no longer function as rare objects in archives. Screens multiply, shrink, blow up, expand, migrate.
Films are finally, after all these years, TEXTS. Literally, figuratively and metaphorically.
Netflix functions as an archive, but then, so too does Amazon, Ubuweb, archive.org, and Facets Media. Films live on DVD and also get streamed.
And, in the space of about five years, it's no longer a Hollywood-only environment—my students purchased Fatih Akin's Edge of Heaven, Deepa Mehta's Earth, Jean Luc Godard's Breathless, each for the cost of sending five text messages from London to Ithaca on Verizon.
In film studies, we have moved from cinema as a place of aesthetic worship to cinema as an object you can collect, dig into, discard, trade, loan, slow down, speed up, take apart.
Rather than lamenting the end of film rental budgets that often support modernist ideologies of artifactual fetishization, maybe we need to explore what possibilities this proliferation of images in a new technological dialectic might offer us. I doubt any of us film profs out there will have our once-ample budgets restored.
And, we can now move cinema studies online, and finally, three decades after the "linguistic" turn in film studies, film is finally, at last, a text. Students can buy them like textbooks or CDs of their favorite indie bands, do close readings, and learn the addictive thrills of decoupage as undergrads, all while jacked into their Macbooks.
In my online class (full disclosure, it's running while I type these words and students are posting on the use of color in Zhang Yimou's Shanghai Triad ), I can work much much more closely with students on developing exegetical skills to describe structures of arguments and deployment of facts.
In a world of quick status updates and sharing feelings, systematic exegesis is, uh, undeveloped. A lost art. So is deductive, analytical writing, where one drills into a film (read text) and works through how it negotiates a concept or a history derived from readings in a systematic way.
It's not about whether you "relate to" or "like" a work ( refrains I hear repeatedly from my hordes of first year students who are experiencing analytical film studies for the first time), but how you engage its structures, and find patterns,and think about meaning.
These two skills—exegesis and analytical writing—constitute the most necessary professional skills for any job, whether in the entertainment industry or selling stocks.
Both require time, detail, patience to learn, a pas de deux of trial and error, gentle coaxing and hard critique, between teacher and student. With less students, it's possible to function more like an Olympic coach of a top athlete than as a police officer of syntax. And my five students respond like world-class, elite mogul skiers, adjusting and recalibrating based on my constant feedback.
I will admit a few things to you. Teaching film studies online differs from the embodied version. They are not equivalent. They offer different gifts.
The online class slants more towards very very close readings of both the films and the books. While it deemphasizes group viewing, it amplifies writing, an epistolary engagement rather than a performative structure.
The students write so much more than they do in a traditional course. It's harder. They can't sit back and plug in their iPods and cruise FB and pretend to listen. They write in public on FLEFF blogs, they write in semi-private on discussion boards, they write to me privately with their assignments. Like my thinking about social media and human rights, it's a process of exchange and respect for what circulates.
I have a suspicion that they are learning something new about how to think about and how to see cinema in a way that differs from their multiplexed pasts.
And I have finally learned, after all the traumas and insecurities of graduate school, that all those theorists from the 1970s had it right: film, and film studies, is a TEXT.
In case you're thinking I'm a cinematic heretic, l do believe adamantly in the power of cinema as a collective experience that can jolt your senses and mind like lightning in a theatrical setting.
Of course. That's why we became film professors in the first place, its why film festivals intoxicate us, and its why we so passionately and often desperately want to invite our students into a larger conversation about cinema that exceeds the limitations of commercial blockbuster intoxications.
Maybe online film studies teaching can function a bit like e-harmony, a sort of online dating service with conceptual ideas about cinema that are bigger than you, but that you eventually want to meet in the flesh. Or on celluloid!

So here it is...NO MERCY, the most honest and intimate installment of my life story as promised. Hope y'all enjoy it and it lives up to the very high standards I've set for myself or anyone who's to be considered one of the best. I must admit it takes a lot to go through as much as I have and still keep the love in your heart and in your art. But at the end of the day, if that's what it takes to produce the music that keeps the world of hip-hop evolving on it's axis....Then even the lowest of the lows of my life was all worth it. Thanks again for your prayers, your time and attention. And remember....It does'nt matter how long it'll be before the next time you see me. What matters is that I'll be a better man before that time comes. The longer I sit, the smarter I get.
I'd like to give a vey special thank you to all the fans who've been writing me and lifting my spirits everyday. I read all of them. Although I would never be able to write you all back...I'd like to list as many of you individualy as i can and thank the others collectively. It's a relief to know that there still are people who see a man with a life and not just another headline in the news. Most of you sound very concerned and optimistic at the same time about my situation. Let me assure you all that I am deffenitely keeping my head up. I don't consider myself done by far. Also many of you are convinced as I am that God has a plan for me that he's preparing me for. How do you tell God Almighty that all you wanna do is LIVE LIFE ??? What if all you wanna do is be a father to your kids, a husband to your wife, and son to your mother while providing insightful motivation through music and lending a helping hand when posible to those who need it most. Well guys...That's the topic of discussion between me and the MOST HIGH at the moment. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. Who knows maybe you can look foward to hearing the dialogue between us set to music on the next album...which I'll be announcing the official title to sooner than later. But until then, thanks again for all your understanding, love and support. Y'all take it light and be eazy.
- Love King.

Do you have a BLACKBERRY Data Plan? - 12-29-2012, 11:17 AM #10
You need to have a BlackBerry Data Plan.
You need to contact your cell phone service provider and ask for a BlackBerry Data Plan (BIS) that will support data applications such as Google Talk, etc.
Yes, a BlackBerry Data Plan is required to use Google Talk on BlackBerry even over WiFi.
If that's not something you can do (or not something that you want to do), then you probably should try a different phone platform.

KTRS News
Tuesday, 27 August 2013 11:22 Published in Health & FitnessThe FDA said Tuesday that Taylor Farms de Mexico could resume operations after investigators found conditions there "in accordance with known food safety protocols." The firm shut down voluntarily after its salad mix served at Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants was linked to 242 cyclospora infections in Nebraska and Iowa. Similar illnesses in 20 other states were never definitively linked to the farm.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is working with Texas to try and discover the source of more than 250 cyclospora infections there.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013 11:20 Published in Health & FitnessQ: What chemical weapon are we talking about?
A: It's not clear yet. But experts point to a class of chemical weapons called nerve agents because of the symptoms seen in the victims in Syria. Nerve agents commonly include sarin, soman, VX and taubun. They are called nerve agents because they block nerve cells from sending messages to each other.
Q: What are the symptoms reported and how does that tell us nerve agents were used?
A: The humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders reported seeing "large number of patients arriving with symptoms including convulsions, excessive saliva, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision and respiratory distress." Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior associate for the Center for Biosecurity at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said what the group of doctors in Syria is reporting "is what a textbook would list to say nerve-agent poison." Symptoms like incredibly small pupils help indicate that it is not another chemical agent like mustard gas or chlorine gas.
Q: What's the difference between the various nerve agents?
A: Essentially the four nerve agents do the same things to the body. They kill the same way. And they are treated similarly. All are banned by the 1993 international convention signed by 189 countries, so there is no practical difference for the U.S. in planning a response if it was sarin or VX, Adjala said. Sarin, sometimes called GB, is the most volatile of the nerve agents and VX the most lethal.
Q: Why do I hear the name sarin associated with this attack more than the others?
A: Mostly it is based on the Syrian leadership's past likely use and storage of sarin, Adalja said.
Q: Will we ever know which nerve agent it is?
A: Maybe. Weapons inspectors can use relatively simple chemical analysis to determine which compound it was, based on body, soil and weapon samples, Adalja said. But he added that those samples degrade quickly and there's a chance we won't ever know. If they got good samples, we'll know in a day or two probably, he said. But in 1993, Physicians for Human Rights said that its doctors and a lab at Britain's Defense Ministry were able to determine the use of sarin in Iraq four years earlier because of residues of a chemical that had the unique fingerprint of sarin. Q: How do nerve agents kill?
A: They break down an enzyme that allows nerves to talk to each other, so victims become over-stimulated. In addition to other symptoms, there's chest tightening, rapid breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, headache, changes in heart rate, loss of consciousness, convulsions and paralysis. Eventually, and depending on dose levels it could only be a matter of minutes, you do die of respiratory failure, Adalja said.
Q: Is it painful?
A: "The seizure, being paralyzed, if you are still awake, that can almost be torturous," Adalja said.
Q: If it is sarin, can you see it or smell it?
A: No. As a liquid it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It's often used in gas form but can kill with liquid content on the skin.
Q: Is it natural?
A: No. It is man-made, created in 1938 as a pesticide and similar to certain kinds of insecticides called organophosphates now used. However nerve agents are much more potent.
Q: Is there a treatment?
A: Yes, if doses are low enough and you catch it in time. There is a dual chemical injection shot that many people in the military carry with them and it must be used quickly. Also if you think you are exposed, you need to remove your clothes and wash thoroughly. The injection of the antidote is complicated. Atropine must be injected every 5 to 10 minutes until secretions stop and the other chemical, pralidoxime chloride only has to be injected a couple times, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Q: Has sarin been used much in the past?
A: The most famous sarin attack was a 1995 terror attack on the Tokyo subway that killed 13 people and injured about 6,000 people.
Q: How do you get rid of the stuff?
A: Experts say nerve gas has to be disposed of properly in locations with high temperatures and controls to keep gas from escaping to minimize the risk of accidentally gassing other people.
Q: So how can the U.S. military destroy Syria's nerve gas supplies?
A: "Several of the options that are being discussed for military intervention have downside risks," said Amy Smithson, a chemical weapons expert at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. "Bombing the (weapons storage) site risks releasing the chemicals over nearby population." Making matters worse, Syrian President Bashar Assad has threatened to use the weapons if attacked, she said.

Tuesday, 27 August 2013 11:16 Published in National NewsU.S. officials said the growing intelligence pointed strongly toward Bashar Assad's government as the culprit — a claim Assad called "preposterous."
The U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggressive response since Syria's civil war began more than two years ago. As of Tuesday morning, officials said President Barack Obama had not yet decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, a move he said last year would cross a red line.
The Obama administration has already said there is "undeniable" evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack in Syria last week. Two administration officials said the U.S. could make public a more formal determination of chemical weapons use that pins the blame on Assad as early as Tuesday.
A third U.S. official said some of the evidence includes signals intelligence — information gathered from intercepted communications. The U.S. assessment is also based on the number of reported victims, the symptoms of those injured or killed and witness accounts.
The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.
It's unlikely international military action would begin before Thursday. That's when British Prime Minister David Cameron will convene an emergency meeting of Parliament where lawmakers are expected to vote on a motion clearing the way for a British response to the chemical weapons attack.
International support was growing. In Paris, President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that France is "ready to punish those who took the heinous decision to gas innocents." And the Arab League, a 22-member body dominated by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, also called for justice, laying blame for the attack on the Syrian government.
Officials said the international community was considering action that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping measures aimed at ousting the Syrian leader or strengthening rebel forces. The focus of the internal debate underscores the scant international appetite for a large-scale deployment of forces in Syria and the limited number of other options.
The most likely military response would involve sea-launched cruise missile attacks on Syrian military targets. The White House is also studying legal justifications for taking such steps without approval from the United Nations, where Russia is certain to block action at the Security Council.
Italy, meanwhile, is insisting that any strike should be authorized by the Security Council.
Hagel told BBC television on Tuesday that the Defense Department has "moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take."
The Navy has four destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea within range of targets inside Syria. The U.S. also has warplanes in the region.
"We are ready to go," Hagel said.
Hagel said "to me it's clearer and clearer" that the Syrian government was responsible, but that the Obama administration was waiting for intelligence agencies to make that determination.
Hagel was interviewed during a visit to the Southeast Asian nation of Brunei. While there, Hagel spoke by phone about Syria with his counterparts from Britain and France. Hagel's press secretary, George Little, said, said Hagel "conveyed that the United States is committed to working with the international community to respond to the outrageous chemical attacks."
Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were also making the case for action to counterparts around the world. While the president has not spoken publicly about the deepening crisis this week, Kerry on Monday issued a blistering rebuke of the Assad regime's actions.
"By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable," he told reporters at the State Department Monday.
Assad, who has denied using chemical weapons, was defiant. In an interview published Tuesday on the website of the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, Assad accused the U.S. and other countries of "disdain and blatant disrespect of their own public opinion; there isn't a body in the world, let alone a superpower, that makes an accusation and then goes about collecting evidence to prove its point."
The Syrian leader warned that if the U.S. attacks Syria, it will face "what it has been confronted with in every war since Vietnam: failure."
The Obama administration was moving ahead even as a United Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last week's attack. The U.S. said Syria's delay in giving the inspectors access rendered the U.N. investigation meaningless and that the Obama administration had its own intelligence confirming chemical weapons use.
The U.N. team came under sniper fire Monday as it traveled to the site of the Aug. 21 attack and on Tuesday delayed a second inspection. A U.S. official said the U.N. team's delay would not affect the Obama administration's timeline for releasing its own intelligence assessments.
It's unlikely that the U.S. would launch a strike against Syria while the United Nations team is still in the country. The administration may also try to time any strike around Obama's travel schedule — he's due to hold meetings in Sweden and Russia next week — in order to avoid having the commander in chief abroad when the U.S. launches military action.
The president has ruled out putting American troops on the ground in Syria and officials say they are not considering setting up a unilateral no-fly zone.
On Capitol Hill, bipartisan support for a military response appeared to be building, with some key lawmakers calling for targeted strikes. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said the Ohio Republican had "preliminary communication" with White House officials about the situation in Syria and a potential American response.
However, some lawmakers from both parties were calling on the president to consult Congress before moving forward. Republican Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia is asking colleagues to sign a letter to the president urging him to reconvene Congress and seek approval for any military action.
More than 100,000 people have died in clashes between forces loyal to Assad and rebels trying to oust him from power over the past two and a half years. While Obama has repeatedly called for Assad to leave power, he has resisted calls for a robust U.S. intervention, and has largely limited American assistance to humanitarian aid. The president said last year that chemical weapons use would cross a "red line" and would likely change his calculus in deciding on a U.S. response.
Obama took little action after Assad used chemical weapons on a small scale earlier this year and risks signaling to countries like Iran that his administration does not follow through on its warnings.
Officials said it was likely the targets of any cruise-missile attacks would be tied to the regime's ability to launch chemical weapons attacks. Possible targets would include weapons arsenals, command and control centers, radar and communications facilities, and other military headquarters. Less likely was a strike on a chemical weapons site because of the risk of releasing toxic gases.
Military experts and U.S. officials said Monday that the precision strikes would probably come during the night and target key military sites.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4
Rated 3 out of 5 by PoorWalt Sharp tie, but unfortunate width
I just ordered two of these ties in the light blue /navy and yellow / navy colors. The colors were spot on and very sharp in person. However, I immediately noticed that the ties were exceptionally wider than my other ties from Brooks Brothers. I compared them to an XL tie I bought just 5 months ago and they were easily bigger. I decided to measure and they turned out to be a little more than 3 3/4" wide, noticeably more so than the standard 3 1/4" (which is also the width advertised on this product page as of 5/13/13).
I brought them to my local store and the sales associate explained that sometimes they change width's seasonally just to mix things up, and that if I tried to exchange through the website I'd most likely get the same exact ties back again. I ended up exchanging them at the store for the same exact colors (and desired, standard width), but in the standard length, unfortunately. My only advice would be to be careful when ordering if you don't like your ties on the wider side.

Holmes tells Allure she hopes 2013 is 'peaceful'
Tuesday - 3/19/2013, 1:20pm  ET
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- Katie Holmes doesn't talk about her split from actor Tom Cruise but she does say she hopes this year is better than the last.
The actress tells Allure magazine she wants 2013 to be "a peaceful year for a lot of people."
She goes on to cite some of 2012's major headlines like Hurricane Sandy and the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, adding she hopes "it's a good year for everyone."
The 34-year-old, who has a 6-year-old daughter named Suri with Cruise, does say she's "open" to the idea of expanding her family in the future.
Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise last June after five years of marriage.
Allure's April issue goes on sale nationwide March 26.

Theta Digital is putting a little shine on its Casablanca III HD Music and Cinema Controller. The company just announced the release of a new digital output card for the component, dubbed the 12-Channel Digi-Out Card.
The company says that this upgrade should bring Casablanca III owners one step closer to the original signal. Specifically, the card can support AES/EBU digital output at signal rates up to 192kHz and 24-bit word depth in channel pairs (L/R, center/subwoofer, surround L/R, surround back L/R, subwoofers 2/3, and more).
It's also ready for the future, since users can update channel assignments using the on-board programmable FPGA.
"By expanding the number of channels with digital routing, the new card opens a window for improved performance possible from the use of advanced outboard DACs like Theta Digital's own Generation VIII Series 3," said Dave Reich, Theta Digital's chief engineer.
Theta says that the 12-Channel Digi-Out Card is available now, with an MSRP of $1,995. The Casablanca III HD Music and Cinema Controller is listed with an MSRP of $15,620.

My bottle doesn't have "La Trappe" on it anywhere, reading "konings hoeven" instead, but I'm quite sure this is the same stuff:
At first when I smelled this it reeked of cheap beer, but after breathing for a bit the real smell of malt, caramel and plum came to light. Alcohol is fairly prominent in the taste, along with candi sugar, pear and more malt. Definitely not my favorite quadrupel but it's not too bad.

750 ml. corked bottle. Tasted in a La Trappe glass, pours a small head that fades soon, but leaves a good lace. Smell of earth, barn, dark fruits, caramel, spices, raisins. Full body, sticky and oily. Taste of dark fruits, caramel, spices, raisins, some liquorice, dates. Alcohol is well hidde. Great.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
From the corked, caged 750 ml. bottle stamped 12:12-K02D13. Sampled on February 24, 2014.
This has been sitting in my cellar for five months so I thought it was about time to break it out. It pours a copper-amber color with a tan head but there are many sedimentary remnants floating around the glass. That in itself appeals to me.
The aroma is a kind of dark cherry or dark fruit character intertwined with dark malts and Abbey yeast. Low alcohol and hop profile.
Medium to mostly full body. But it does tend to feel rather carbonated or acidic in texture.
The taste begins with a tart, dark fruity note and a searing bitterness at the end. But it is not a pucker-up bite. It just drills its way into the sensation and lingers briefly. The booze is a bit more forward in the taste than on the nose. It's a Quad and it is meant to have some punch.

Here at Bambi Baby, we care about your family, which is why we carry the highest quality baby cribs and baby furniture for your little ones. All of the cribs and nursery sets we carry are made from the highest quality and ensure safety from our family to yours. High quality furniture is made to last, which is why we only carry the best baby cribs for your baby's nursery.
We understand that your child will outgrow his or her first furniture set rather quickly, which is why we carry a wide variety of convertible cribs that can be used as twin or full-sized beds over time, and will allow for comfortable room changes all throughout your child's adolescence. Once your little one outgrows the crib you choose, we carry the conversion rails to adapt to the growing needs of your child.
Which style are you looking to furnish your baby's nursery with? Our cribs are versatile; we carry modern, contemporary, classic, and traditional styles for how ever you want to fashion the perfect space for your young one. If space optimization is at the top of your list, we have styles that are sure to suit you and your baby. Bambi Baby carries an array of Crib N Changers, which contain both a crib and a changing table to conserve the maximum amount of space in your place.
We carry a wide variety of crib brands, including: Bonavita , Natart , Pali , Sorelle , Fisher Price , and more, to suit your style, space requirements, and price range.
