Cubs A Sub-.500 Team?
I'm not picking the Cubs to win the NL Central. I'm not picking them to win the Wild Card, either.
But I know this team is better than the 79-83 record predicted by Baseball Prospectus, which has the Cubs finishing nine games behind St. Louis and in second place in the Central.
Chicago's starting pitching is too good. Its lineup is too good. And, the Cubs play the Pirates way too many times to end the season below .500!
I respect BP and understand how such a sobering prognostication came to be.
The 2009 Cubs were chalked-full of talented players who collectively and individually underperformed due to injury, personal setbacks and/or 'Milton the Terrible.'
Not exactly a glowing endorsement for 2010, even for the staunch believers in rebound years.
And other than Bradley's departure, not much else changed on the North Side this winter to rank the Cubs as post season contenders.
It's obviously left many questions unanswered beginning in Mesa, but finishing below .500 isn't one of them.

Forged By Hand
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
Forged, by hand. A lost art? Thankfully, 'Hubbardton Forge, an American manufacturer of hand forged iron lighting fixtures, first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. The Vermont based company scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade in order to revive the nearly forgotten craft of hand-forging raw metal into functional art.' I enjoyed discovering their collection which includes these handmade, one of a kind lighting fixtures. Simple and architectural, and at once modern and rustic. Lighting integrated into the metal and glass housing, these pieces are artwork for any room.

T'Pring, born in 2230, was a Vulcan female who was bonded to Spock as a child.
In 2267, when Spock began suffering from pon farr, he returned to Vulcan to mate with T'Pring.
T'Pring, however, preferred Stonn instead, and executed her right to claim kal-if-fee at the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ceremony (a Vulcan wedding). She picked James Kirk as her champion, and he accepted while being unaware that the fight was to be to the death.
T'Pring reasoned that if Spock won, he would reject her for having chosen another, and she would have Stonn. If Kirk won and killed Spock, he would not want her, and she would still have Stonn. However, should Spock still accept her, he would likely be gone for several extended periods of time following his career in Starfleet, thus allowing her to be with Stonn. (TOS: "Amok Time")
Upon describing the girlhood photograph of T'Pring, the revised final draft script of "Amok Time" states, "There is a sweetness about her features that promises a loveliness when grown." The same script describes the adult T'Pring as "graceful, lithe, beautiful."
The adult T'Pring was played by Arlene Martel. Although no reference work notes the name of the girl depicted as the young T'Pring, she was played by Mary Rice. [1]
The photograph of T'Pring was the first female Vulcan seen in Star Trek.
T'Pring appears in a storyline in Star Trek (DC volume 2) where she has grown overweight and Stonn is no longer attracted to her.
In the novel Spock's World, T'Pring plots revenge on Kirk and Spock. T'Pring is vengeful because after marrying Stonn, Stonn died trying to induce pon farr. T'Pring's plot to have Vulcan secede from the United Federation of Planets is foiled by the Enterprise crew. Similar events apparently occur in the novel The Lost Years. She is also shown extorting Spock for "the bride price" in D.C. Fontana's novel Vulcan's Glory, which takes place during the Christopher Pike era.
T'Pring also appears in the third issue of the Spock: Reflections comic series. Unlike earlier non-canon portrayals, the character is shown in a much more positive light; she has a friendly meeting with Spock soon after his return to Vulcan to begin his Kolinahr training, accurately predicting that he would not find peace, or any of his answers, on Vulcan, which he never would have left if what he sought was there (responding to Spock's statement that she barely knows him by saying that she always has, and always will), and that whatever he came back to the planet for, he should find it quickly, since space is where he truly belongs.
An alternate version of T'Pring from a world where the human race died out before First Contact featured in the novel Forgotten History- resulting in the Vulcan High Command never abandoning their more militaristic ways as Captain Jonathan Archer never discovered the lost Kir'Shara-, when her ship accidentally switches places with the Enterprise during a survey of a dimension-shifting planet. During this time she briefly works with Spock- who was on a different ship when the transfer took place-, even helping him deal with his latest pon farr as his body responds to her due to his engagement to his world's version of her, this T'Pring expressing greater sympathy and understanding of Spock. In return, Spock advises her on where she might find her world's version of Surak's lost writings, helping her world's Vulcans return to the vision that Surak had of their culture rather than what it has become in that world.

This is an interesting question. I'll have to give it some proper thought. The first thing that occurs to me is that the settlement could expand vertically just as easily, or moreso, than horizontally. You might be interested in this picture, of an underground city in Cappadocia, Turkey.
I think you may be wrong about the town needing more planning, though. The amount of planning a settlement receives is generally a product of the level of government or central authority, not the circumstances of the town.

May 5, 2016
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- A Raleigh police officer has been released on bond following his arrest for soliciting a teenager for sex.
A statement from Fayetteville police said 34-year-old Jason Brandon Hoyle is charged with promoting prostitution of a minor and participating in the prostitution of a minor. Hoyle is accused of paying a teenager for sex on Feb. 7.
Authorities also said 17-year-old Tiara Michelle Bradshaw was arrested and charged with misdemeanor solicitation for prostitution.
Hoyle was freed on $100,000 bond. Bradshaw was released on a written promise to appear in court. It's not clear if either suspect had an attorney.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue (shuh-GREW') said an internal administrative investigation is under way. Hoyle has worked for the Raleigh Police Department since October 2000 and is assigned to the detective division.

Securing Joomla extensions
From Joomla! Documentation
This article applies mainly to Joomla 1.0. Please be careful when applying the techniques mentioned in it to newer versions of Joomla.
By default, Joomla! is very secure. Especially with the coming Joomla! 1.5 release, security will again be improved. While most core components are safe and secure, often hackers get into the system by using third party extensions. This article is targeted at giving you an easy guide for making your extension as safe as possible.
We strongly recommend using these functions to ensure maximum security.

Intro: Guide to more secure Components/Modules/Plugins...
Are you a third party developer for Joomla! addons? Do you publish your programs on the Joomla! forge or on your website? Well, thank you for doing that, the community probably loves you for sharing your work!
However, there are a few things in terms of security that you should be aware of. Just having a component that runs fine on your computer is usually not enough! You need to take care of security, because otherwise your programm could easily ruin the websites of your customers.
So, lets just jump right into it. These are the topics I will deal with in this guide:
- Secure your software against direct access
- Secure your software against remote file inclusion
- Secure your software against SQL injections
- Secure your software against XSS scripting
- Make sure your software does not need register_globals
- Check access privileges of users
- How to achieve raw component output (for pictures, RSS-feeds etc.)
- Various things to be aware of
Please note that when I refer to components, I also mean modules, plugins (formerly mambots) and templates as well. All code examples in this guide are written for Joomla! 1.0.x and Joomla! 1.5.x.
Secure your software against direct access
The files of your component will usually be called by Joomla!. Joomla! is a wrapper around your software, it provides many useful features like user authentication and so on. Since developers usually test their components only through Joomla!, they tend to forget about the possibility of calling files directly. Instead of calling your component by
http:/ /www.example.com/index.php?option=com_yourcomponent
crackers also might try to use
http:/ /www.example.com/components/com_yourcomponent/yourcomponent.php
As you can see, the PHP file will be executed directly, without Joomla! as a wrapper around it. Now, if your file only contains some classes or functions, but does not execute any code, there is nothing wrong about that:
<?php class myClass { [SomeFunctionsHere] } function myFunction() { [SomeCodeHere] } ?>
The cracker would just see an empty page when accessing your file directly. But if that PHP file actually executes anything, he would probably see a bunch of error messages, revealing important details of your system. Under some circumstances, he might also be able to execute any code he wants to, on your system!
To make your component secure against direct access, insert this code line into the beginning of every PHP file that executes code:
// no direct access defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
// no direct access defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
This is a MUST for every file that executes PHP code. If you are in doubt whether your file executes code, do use this line!
Secure your software against remote file inclusion
Now imagine, you have a line like this one in your code:
include( $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_yourcomponent/yourcomponent.class.php' );
Furthermore, imagine that a cracker tries to access your file as
http://www.example.com/components/com_yourcomponent/yourcomponent.php? mosConfig_absolute_path=http://www.bad.site/bad.gif?
and actually sends back executable PHP code under the filename of that image. That code then is executed (assuming that register_globals is switched on in your webserver, which unfortunaltely is the case for many people) in your or your customers webserver with the permissions of the webserver. The attacker can do anything he wants to do (and what the webserver is allowed for) on your webserver! This is called remote file inclusion. Unfortunately, this is something even script kiddies can do easily. There are also some more advanced technics out there that allow for remote file inclusion in some PHP versions even if you have switched register_globals off. Remote file inclusion only works on systems that have the PHP setting allow_url_fopen switched to on. But as this option is needed by many "good" programs as well, switching it off is not always a good idea.
Conclusion: To secure your code against remote file inclusion, you need to make sure no unvalidated input is used when including files. At first, apply the solution from part 1 of this guide. Secondly, be very carefull with all calls to functions dealing with the file system, especially e.g. include, require, include_once, require_once, fopen. If you really need to include files with variable names, make sure to validate all these variables.
A good practice to include files is using constants [2.2]:
define( 'YOURBASEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) ); require_once( YOURBASEPATH . '/file_to_include.php' );
define( 'YOURBASEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) ); require_once( YOURBASEPATH . '/file_to_include.php' );
As this uses no variables at all, there is no chance for a cracker to open files from remote servers.
Secure your software against SQL injections
SQL injections make it possible for attackers to modify certain unsafe SQL queries, your script executes, in such a way that it could alter data in your database or give out sensible data to the attacker. That is because of unvalidated user input.
Take a look at this code:
$value = $_GET['value']; $database->setQuery( "SELECT * FROM #__mytable WHERE id = $value" );
An attacker could hand over a string like '1 OR 1', the query results in
"SELECT * FROM #__mytable WHERE id = 1 OR 1"
, thus returning all rows from jos_mytable. I'm not going more into detail here, as SQL injections are covered quite good on the web. Please take a look at the resources listed at the bottom of this post.
Conclusion: Validate all user input before you use it in a SQL query. Apply
$string = $database->getEscaped( $string );
$string = $db->getEscaped( $string );
to all strings that will be used in SQL queries, and apply
$value = intval( $value );
$value = intval( $value );
to all integer numbers you use in SQL queries. Again, for more information on SQL injections, please take a look at the listed resources, especially [3.2].
Also, make sure to use mosGetParam() [5.5] for retrieving user input from the request, e.g.:
$value = mosGetParam( $_POST, 'value' ); $value = mosGetParam( $_POST, 'value', 'default' ); // This will return 'default' // when $_POST['value'] is not set.
mosGetParam will return escaped values, independantly of PHP's magic_quotes_gpc setting.
- Warning:**mosGetParam (and quotes escaping) is not protecting against some injections for numbers. You must convert the variable to an int with inval($var) or (int) $var in order to prevent those injections.
In Joomla! 1.5 use JRequest::getvar(), e.g.:
$value = JRequest::getVar( 'value', '', 'post', string ); $value = JRequest::getVar( 'value', 'default', 'post', string ); // This will return // 'default' when $_POST['value'] is not set.
JRequest::getVar will return **__unescaped__** values, independantly of PHP's magic_quotes_gpc setting. In Joomla! 1.5, due to UTF-8 support, the Framework rule is that variables in the code are unescaped, and proper database escaping must be applied at database request time with $db->getEscaped( $string ) or using the object-methods save() which do the proper escaping.
Secure your software against XSS
echo $_REQUEST['value'];
Conclusion: Use mosGetParam() [5.5] for retrieving user input from a request, it does strip out a pretty good amount of insecure stuff. But don't rely on it, also take a good look at places where you echo out things to the webbrowser. Apply
$value = htmlspecialchars( $value );
to strings before you echo them out to the browser.
Make sure your software does not need register_globals
Up to now, there are many programs that rely on register_globals being set to ON. PHP then imports all $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE data and some other variables into the global scope. When people program things correctly, there is not neccessarily anything wrong about it. But unfortunaltely there are very many programs out there using global variables in an insecure way. This might open up serious security holes. Therefore, users are advised to switch off register_globals, and more and more hosting companies do so for security reasons.
You should never use any uninstantiated variables. Make sure to properly fill each variable before using it. To check whether your component is capable of running without register_globals, you should do the following:
- Enable error reporting in PHP to see notices. This will give you some hints on which variables are used without prior initialization.
- Set register_globals to off in your php.ini.
- Set RG_EMULATION to 0 in globals.php in your Joomla! root folder.
Also, it is a bad practice to access variables like this (read resource [5.4] for more technical details):
echo $GLOBALS['varname'];
You should rather use this:
global $varname; echo $varname;
Check access privileges of users
When giving access to certain components (or to certain database table rows) you might want to make sure that only registered or special users can access it. I'm not going into any ACL related issues here, I rather want to give you a short overview on how to distinguish guest, registered (and logged in) users, and special users (by default all users below Registered, meaning Authors, Publishers etc.).
Joomla! provides (again, only in in 1.0.x) the $my object which holds information about the current user. These are the settings for the different access types (only applies to the frontend):
- $my->gid = 0 ==> the user is not logged in
- $my->gid = 1 ==> the user is a registered user
- $my->gid = 2 ==> the user is a special user
Conclusion: You can check these values to block access to certain parts of your component.
Also, make sure not to present any information to a user he does not have access to. A simple SQL query that takes into account the permissions of the category for a certain databse entry (assuming your data is sorted into categories) might look like this:
SELECT * FROM #__contact_details AS c LEFT JOIN #__categories AS cat ON cat.id = c.catid WHERE ( c.name LIKE '%$text%' ) AND c.published = 1 AND cat.published = 1 AND c.access <= $my->gid AND cat.access <= $my->gid
// Initialize variables as example how to get the current user $app = & $this->getApplication(); $user = & $app->getUser(); SELECT * FROM #__contact_details AS c LEFT JOIN #__categories AS cat ON cat.id = c.catid WHERE ( c.name LIKE '%$text%' ) AND c.published = 1 AND cat.published = 1 AND c.access <= $user->get('gid') AND cat.access <= $user->get('gid')
Note that both the contact details and the category are checked for being published and for being within the users access level.
How to achieve raw component output (for pictures, RSS-feeds etc.)
In some cases, users need to send out raw data (no Joomla! template around it) to the browser, for example binary pictures or XML data for RSS feeds. Developers tend to write their own entry point PHP files, but this should only be a last resort. It is better to let Joomla! handle things.
Conclusion: You should add a new function to your component (and to the switch statement that handles the selected $task). Then, call your component like this:
http:/ /www.example.com/index2.php?option=com_yourcomponent&task=your_task&no_html=1
If you really need to provide an entry point – a file that might be called directly – make sure to take care of part 2 of this guide. Secondly, the first thing you should do in your code is to include Joomla!'s globals.php (and if needed, Joomla!'s configuration.php).
define( 'YOURBASEPATH', dirname(__FILE__) ); require_once( YOURBASEPATH . '/../../globals.php' ); require_once( YOURBASEPATH . '/../../configuration.php' );
Again, you are advised to not provide your own entry point, and if you do, be very carefull with it.
Various things to be aware of
There are some more things you should not do, and also some functions you should not use at all.
- Don't use eval(). eval() is evil! Tongue
- Don't use the backtick operator [8.2], exec, shell_exec, system, popen and such functions
- Don't automatically send out an email to you whenever your component becomes installed somewhere. This will give you a bad reputation!
- We should never ever see the use of @$_GET or @$_POST, etc, in the code

Woodard says as an American, she wants to be involved in the country's progress. Woodard says, "I didn't want to wake up on the 7th of November and not have done everything that I could do as a citizen, as an American. We don't live in a vacuum, we are all connected. And whatever happens to any of us, happens to all of us."
Woodard also made stops in Rocky Mount, Wilson, and Fayetteville.
Woodard is best known for her award-winning role in the HBO film Miss Evers' Boys. Her other television credits include Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, and The Practice, and has starred in films like Remember My Name, Primal Fear, and Cross Creek.

Global Warming: Science Fact or Fiction?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 15, 2000
Is global warming real, imminent, and a threat to human life? Have such predictions been established scientifically? The proposed Global Climate Treaty calls for extensive government controls to reduce fossil fuel use. Yet, there is no scientific consensus to support global-warming pessimism. Would the proposed massive 'carbon' taxes and other controls put our society- especially those most disadvantaged- at great risk? Based on his widely acclaimed book, renowned astrophysicist Fred Singer will separate fact from fiction in this raging global warming debate.

Changing climate, changing forests
The report focuses on established science and offers recommendations for decision-makers on steps that will make forests more resilient to the effects of climate change. It is a General Technical Report, published by the U.S. Forest Service, and was authored by Lindsey Rustad, John Campbell, Jeffrey S. Dukes, Thomas Huntington, Kathy Fallon Lambert, Jacqueline Mohan, and Nicholas Rodenhouse. The report concludes that the climate of the Northeast has changed and is likely to change more.
The report's Abstract is presented here, and the full document may be downloaded at the link at the end of this page.
Changing climate, changing forests: The impacts of climate change on forests of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada
Decades of study on climatic change and its direct and indirect effects on forest ecosystems provide important insights for forest science, management, and policy. A synthesis of recent research from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada shows that the climate of the region has become warmer and wetter over the past 100 years and that there are more extreme precipitation events. Greater change is projected in the future. The amount of projected future change depends on the emissions scenarios used. Tree species composition of northeast forests has shifted slowly in response to climate for thousands of years. However, current human-accelerated climate change is much more rapid and it is unclear how forests will respond to large changes in suitable habitat. Projections indicate significant declines in suitable habitat for spruce-fir forests and expansion of suitable habitat for oak-dominated forests. Productivity gains that might result from extended growing seasons and carbon dioxide and nitrogen fertilization may be offset by productivity losses associated with the disruption of species assemblages and concurrent stresses associated with potential increases in atmospheric deposition of pollutants, forest fragmentation, and nuisance species. Investigations of links to water and nutrient cycling suggest that changes in evapotranspiration, soil respiration, and mineralization rates could result in significant alterations of key ecosystem processes. Climate change affects the distribution and abundance of many wildlife species in the region through changes in habitat, food availability, thermal tolerances, species interactions such as competition, and susceptibility to parasites and disease. Birds are the most studied northeastern taxa. Twenty-seven of the 38 bird species for which we have adequate long-term records have expanded their ranges predominantly in a northward direction. There is some evidence to suggest that novel species, including pests and pathogens, may be more adept at adjusting to changing climatic conditions, enhancing their competitive ability relative to native species. With the accumulating evidence of climate change and its potential effects, forest stewardship efforts would benefit from integrating climate mitigation and adaptation options in conservation and management plans.

The County Clerk is part of the executive branch of government independent of the judiciary elected to represent the public as the administrative and financial officer of the Superior Court. The office is a highly technical one whose goal is to protect the integrity and accuracy of the Superior Court records and preserves for the public expeditious access to a fair, accurate and independently established record of opinions, decisions and judgments of the court. The Clerk has many specific and special responsibilities assigned by statute and court rules. Court actions processed by the Clerk include civil, domestic, probate, guardianship, adoption, criminal, paternity, mental (civil commitment), domestic violence, anti-harassment, appeals, case dismissals, juvenile offender, dependency and truancy proceedings. By statute the clerk represents the public in all court proceedings by appointing deputy court clerks to take accurate and complete minutes, administer oaths, manage exhibits, and draw and maintain jury panels.

This morning at Family Storytime, we made birthday cakes and even met the Very Hungry Caterpillar who surprised us with a visit! It was a good day for happy birthday stories because the first of our Children's Room Monarchs emerged as a butterfly just before 10 am. At first, the butterfly's wings were all wrinkled up. I guess anyone's wings would be a little crumpled if they had been stuffed in a little bundle like that when they formed. It's amazing that they formed all crumpled up in the chrysalis and then, after drying for almost three hours, were ready for use.
At Family Storytime in August, we've been reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar and following our real-life Monarch friends. Take a look at programs for children coming up in the fall. Some programs require registration. You can register for September registered programs online or you can stop in or call the library.

This compilation of films and videos put together by Northeast Historic Film includes extraordinary silent footage, a Universal Newsreel and others of this tragic, historical event.
This disaster is an important part of the local history of York, Oxford, and Hancock counties. Whether you refer to it as "The Bar Harbor Fire", "The Brownfield Fire", The Kennebunkport Fire" or something else, it was a devastating disaster that forever changed many communities and the very landscape of the State.
The DVD is a compilation of film and video about the Fire from the collections of Northeast Historic Film. Included is: October Fury 1947, Maine's Forest Fire Disasters, A Look Back At the Infamous Fires 50 years Later, a retrospective produced by the Maine Forest Service.

Stillman. A brief Universal Newsreel shows you what the rest of the world saw.

Federico Fellini's most well-known film and a classic of Italian cinema, 8 and 1/2 continues to stand-up as a trailblazing film that introduced viewers in 1963 to an overly self-conscious form of storytelling that mixes fiction, memoir and dreamy surrealism together as a prophetic statement about the nature of celebrity, the mass media and the pressure to create art even when uninspired. Self-referential, wildly imaginative and irreverent, this classic film points the finger at the film industry and increasingly aggressive media while humorously mocking the hollowness of fame. Poking fun at both himself and his critics (both Catholics and Communists), Fellini delights in highlighting the absurdity and emotional alienation of those forced into positions of creating successful commerce while their personal life grows increasingly dysfunctional. See a trailer here.

President Jakaya Kikwete's cabinet reshuffle on Friday attempted to quench public thirst for a cabinet fix, which was a fallout from parliamentary debates on the Controller and Auditor General's report for fiscal year 2010/2011. Kikwete's reaction to public outcry is one thing, but whether the public has been satisfied with it is something that The Guardian on Sunday sought to find out through random interviews with Dar es Salaam residents.
Dismas Belela (head of security guards at Interchick factory, Mbezi Beach)
"The reshuffle has cleansed the party (CCM) and the government at large.
I am particularly encouraged by how the President has dealt with the Ministry of Minerals. He has realised that this ministry is huge and needs an extra hand. As to the Ministry of Health, he has touched the hearts of many by doing away with the two former ministers …"
Ashley Msigala (Food vendor)
"We have heard about the performance of some of the new ministers, and so we have an idea of what kind of people they are. The President has made a perfect choice for the Ministry of Finance. However, let's give them time …it's too early to judge them. Nevertheless, shortcomings are always there, for politicians and businesspeople alike."
Jackson Shoo (Student at International Medicine and Technological University (IMTU)
"I think the President has done well to remove the ministers he has dropped. He has made the right decision to place Amos Makala at the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture and Sports. Makala is a sports fan himself. I believe he will not tolerate monkey business in the ministry."
Musa Ramadhani (Orange seller at Mwenge commuter bus stand)
"Absolutely nothing has been done in the reshuffle. You see, this government is either sold or is rotten. The leaders have no concern for the citizens, especially us vendors, the common people. Just remember how the police handled the relocation of the vendors at the Ubungo bus stand; it was unbelievable how poor people were treated. Unless the government starts respecting the rights of the marginalised and take care of their basic needs, the reshuffle means nothing to us".
Huessen Ali (Bajaj driver at Mwenge)
"If key implementers of government plans change, definitely the common citizens should have hope for change for the better. If you look closely, you will realise they (the ministers) were in one way or another the source of all these boycotts across the country."
George Munisi (Mwenge resident)
"The reshuffling can't fix anything. Instead the whole system needs to be reformed. The whole thing is like one changing a shirt, but this does not mean the body/person has changed. Reforming the system means empowering the citizens more by giving them a voice that should be respected. This is the only way of disciplining ministers by putting the citizens' interests first."
Jamali Chipenda (Vehicle mechanic)
"The current system allows ministers to get so big-headed that they can just go ahead and ignore the people's needs. Yes, the ministers have been changed, but what about the permanent secretaries? These are the key players in the ministries. And we heard the reports that some of them didn't have good relations with their ministers. There is nothing good you can expect out of this situation."
Wilison Makundi (Businessman, Sinza Madukan)
"I am satisfied with the cabinet by 40 percent. Some of the new ministers, such as Dr Harrison Mwakyembe (Ministry of Transport) and Dr William Mgimwa (Ministry of Finance) are serious and committed persons who care about the welfare of Tanzanians. However, I am disappointed by the big cabinet which will drain the nation's resources. There is no need for a big cabinet when many people are very poor. We can avoid that kind of misuse of resources by having a small cabinet of serious people."
Othman Borre (Barber, Sinza Kijiweni)
"Nothing has been done; there will not be any changes for the better since these are the same faces from the same house, with the same outlook of things. So, I am not satisfied with the cabinet."
Catherine Shayo (Businesswoman, Mwenge)
"I am not impressed. Whether a person is good or bad is a personal characteristic. On their appointment to public office many people appear good, but later on they change, forget the people and start pursuing selfish interests using their government positions."
Dickson Chikomo (Resident, Sinza Kijiweni,)
"The cabinet is good. But let's give it time because we can not judge by looking in their (ministers') faces."
Ashura Hamis (Food vendor)
"The six dropped ministers are from the ruling party and the new ones are from the same party. Therefore, I don't see much hope since nothing was done to contain the poor living condition of Tanzanians. The most important thing at present is to write a new constitution which will guide everything – the answer to our prevailing problems and not the cabinet."
Kinyua Mohamed (Businessman, Mwenge)
"I am not satisfied with the cabinet simply because nothing has changed. What has changed is the cover but the bottle remains as it is."
Michael Renatus (Public Service worker, Magomeni)
"I am utterly dissatisfied with the cabinet because it reflects favouritism. There are still some long serving ministers in the cabinet, even before former President Mkapa, and the current President Kikwete. Does it mean that Tanzania has got no other qualified people for the positions? We need changes and not favours."
Katiba Khatibu (Taxi driver, Magomeni)
"The President made a good selection. With the new changes, we can hope for relief in our everyday life. The President's changes will help create a sense of commitment at the workplace that will be accompanied by respect for public property."
Makata Akida (Taxi driver, Magomeni)
"I am satisfied because the President removed all the ministers who reportedly misused public resources; this will bring a good start and new hope for Tanzanians. The president is positively responding to the people's needs. I advise the President to take action against all the tainted minters so as to serve as a lesson for others with similar habits.

Did Online Travel Agencies Commit Tax Shenanigans?
Officials for some large U.S. cities are claiming that online travel agencies such as Expedia and Priceline are collecting hotel occupancy taxes from consumers, but not forwarding the full amount to governments. If the OTAs are forced to pass that tax money on, what will it do to their profits?

South Dakota State had the longest D-1 home win streak in the country snapped Thursday.
Montana shot 77 percent from beyond the 3-point arc in the second half of Thursday's non-conference game to overcome a 25-24 halftime deficit and spoil South Dakota State's home opener with a 77-69 win over the Jackrabbits, thus snapping the Jacks 30 game home winning streak and sending them to an 0-3 start.
"It was a tale of two halves for us. We were inept offensively in the first half and inept defensively in the second half," head coach Scott Nagy said. "You've got to give them some credit, they go 10-for-13 from three in the second half, but the way the game's being called, you have to guard one of two things; you either have to pack it in and guard the drive or you've got to try and take away the three and we took away the drive."
Which made sense, as the Griz struggled from long range in the first half, going just 1-for-10 from deep and scored 18 of their 24 first half points in the paint.
The Jacks, on the other hand, went 9-for-31 in the first half overall, 29 percent, and 1-for-7 from long range, 14 percent, only to bounce back in the second half to shoot 59 percent on 16-of-27 shooting, and 38.5 percent from beyond the arc, 5-for-13.
Montana, which evens its record at 1-1, heated up in the second half as well though, shooting at a 68 percent clip overall, 15-for-22, which includes the 77 percent from 3-point range.
Despite the slow start, the Jackrabbits opened a nine point lead at 14-5 with 8 minutes, 32 seconds left in the first half, but a 7-0 Griz run cut the lead to just two points with just under six minutes left in the half and then cut the lead to one at 25-24 at halftime.
SDSU opened the second half on a 7-1 run to push the lead back to seven points at 32-25 with 18:23 to play, but the Griz responded with an 11-0 run and never trailed again, pushing the lead to as many as 12 points at 7:02 remaining.
The Jacks would cut the lead to 73-69, but with only 32 seconds left, and the Griz went 4-for-4 from the free throw line down the stretch to secure the streak-snapping win.
"The 30 game winning streak was wonderful, but you're not going to carry it forever, at some point you're going to lose a game at home," Nagy said. "So now we don't have to talk about that anymore, even though it was nice to have over the summer."
Jordan Dykstra led the Jackrabbits with 20 points, adding nine rebounds and a trio of assists. Brayden Carlson scored 17 points before fouling out of the game with 1:69 left in the game. Chad White added 13 points and Cody Larson nine points to go with his team-high 11 rebounds.
The Jackrabbits look to crack the win column for the first time this season, and start another streak on Monday, when they host Southwest Minnesota State inside Frost Arena at 7 p.m.

Often, when electronics are used in high temperature environments, some form of active or passive cooling is used to keep the components within their operating temperature range. However in some applications this is highly impractical, such as with downhole drilling operations. The downhole oil and gas industry represents one of the primary consumers of high-temperature electronic components. As oil and gas resources become scarcer, there is a growing incentive to drill ever-deeper wells. With deeper wells comes the challenge of designing equipment to withstand higher temperatures. The rate in which temperature increases with depth is defined as the geothermal gradient, and in most parts of the world is roughly 25°C per kilometer. Today, electronic components used in downhole applications must not only operate at temperatures exceeding 200°C, but also be extremely reliable; equipment failure leads to rig downtime, which is often extremely costly.
The IP (Ingress Protection) Code is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the IEC 60529 standard. It designates the various types and degrees of protection afforded to electrical equipment by its enclosure. The IP code itself has the form "IP XY", where X and Y are digits which denote the level of protection from particle ingress and from water, respectively. The first digit also represents the amount of protection provided to external objects from contact with parts within the enclosure. The requirements for each degree of protection are specified in the standard, as well as the procedures to test and confirm them. It is important to note that, because NEMA Enclosure Types are tested over a wider set of environmental conditions, it is not possible to obtain an equivalent NEMA Type from an IP code – although the opposite (converting a NEMA Type to an IP code) may provide a good guideline. NEMA to IP code conversions should always be verified by test.

*IP69K is a German standard and not congruent with other IP standards. It should not be assumed that it meets the requirements of lower IP standards.
Similar to the IP Code (IEC 60529), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) provides a popular standard for protective enclosures. The NEMA Standards Publication 250 designates the various types and degrees of protection afforded to electrical equipment by its enclosure. NEMA 250 covers a broader set of harsh conditions than the IP code and includes ratings for indoor and outdoor locations, both hazardous and nonhazardous. These conditions include ingress of water and foreign objects (e.g. dust or fibers), as well as corrosive agents and various gases and atmospheres. The table below provides a brief description of each level of protection, which NEMA specifies with a NEMA Enclosure Type Number. It is important to note that, because NEMA Enclosure Types are tested over a wider set of environmental conditions, it is not possible to obtain an equivalent NEMA Type from an IP code – although the opposite (converting a NEMA Type to an IP code) may provide a good guideline. NEMA to IP code conversions should always be verified by test.

Vibration is a potential source of the failure for many systems, and can be a major contributor to problems related to the operating environment of electronic equipment. Most electronics equipment is exposed to some amount of vibration, even if just from shipping and transportation. Portable electronics often need a degree of protection from the shock and impact of being dropped from moderate heights. In other industries, such as mil/aero and harsh industrial settings, vibration isolation and resilience can be a crucial design consideration.
Although modeling and analysis are helpful tools, testing is often necessary to ensure product reliability under harsh conditions. This is not as simple as it may seem, however. A 20-year product life is typical and expected for military qualified electronics. How can this be tested? Accelerated stress testing techniques such as HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Test) offer solutions that are both practical and effective. Methods like HALT/HASS go further than mere design verification testing because they stress products beyond their specifications to determine both operational and destruct limits.
The MIL-STD-202 Test Method Standard, used by the U.S. military, specifies the testing procedure for vibration, which involves simple harmonic motion at 0.03 inches amplitude over a range of frequencies from 10 to 55Hz. Under electrical load conditions, the motion is applied for at least two hours along each axis (for a total of six hours), and the product is tested both during and after vibration.

Whack the Racers is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars given to protagonist Huang Lee by Chan Jaoming from his garage in the East Island City neighborhood of Dukes, Liberty City.
Chan is upset that the other competitors in the race have more superior cars than his. Chan wants to win the race badly so he wants Huang to smash them off the track. Huang grabs a fast car and waits near the starting line. At the start of the race, the street race champion loses control of the car and crashes the car. Chan now has three competitors to worry. Huang rams the cars off the course and prevents them from going ahead of Chan. Chan eventually wins the race.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a fast car and head to the starting grid
- Barge the rivals out of Chan's way
- Chan is winning. Keep the rivals off his back
The reward for completing this mission is $100. If the player is using the Nintendo DS version of the game, the missions Jackin' Chan and Stealing the Show are unlocked. However, if the player is using the PSP version, instead of Jackin' Chan, the mission Parking Pickle would be unlocked. The turf map is also now available in the PDA.

- The name of this mission is a reference to the cartoon, Wacky Races
Mission Replay description
"Chan's idea of fair play is, 'anything goes, so long as he wins'.
So, he got me to smash all the other drivers off the track at his street race.
He wasn't even grateful. Rich prick asshole."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is accusing Republican Mitt Romney of caving under pressure from Rush Limbaugh for saying that requiring all Americans to buy health insurance amounts to a tax.
Obama says in an interview with NBC affiliate WLWT in Cincinnati that Romney supported the individual mandate as Massachusetts governor but "has suddenly reversed himself." Obama says it raises questions over whether Romney is abandoning a principal after "getting pressure for two days from Rush Limbaugh" or other critics.
Romney said Wednesday the Supreme Court ruled the requirement to buy health insurance was a tax, amounting to a shift in position. A top Romney adviser said previously that Romney viewed the mandate as a penalty, a fee or a fine -- not a tax.
Obama says "principles matter" as president.

It's easy to see why the Pegasus keeps on going and goingThe Nike Air Pegasus delivers the lightweight, flexible cushioning that both runners and walkers love. It's a great choice for those with a higher arch and neutral stride. When it comes to versatility, you can rack up the miles but it is still light enough to be popular as a marathon race shoe. With a generous selection of sizes, widths and colors, there is sure to be one just for you! A kid's Pegasus is also available so that everyone can get in on the cushioning.What activites can I use the Air Pegasus for?In addition to pavement, the Air Pegasus is great on moderate trails thanks to its grippy waffle sole. The upper does a great job of wrapping to your foot, making the Pegasus suitable for things like cross fit and boot camp workouts, as well as moderate court sports. For maximum lateral support, you may want to consider a court or cross-training shoe. Check your selection of Nike Cross Trainers!How does the Air Pegasus compare with other Nike neutral shoes?Forefoot runners who like a firmer, more responsive shoe should consider the Zoom Elite. The Zoom Vomero offers an upgrade to "first class" cushioning and durability. The Nike Free puts you in a thinner, lighter shoe with maximum flexibility. The Nike Flyknit offers Nike's latest revolution in upper material, the Flyknit upper which fits and acts very similar to a sock!

Syria in Flames: Is This How to Defend Our Faith?
Although a flood of refugees is pouring out of war-torn Syria, thousands of Christians are choosing to stay. They are determined to fulfil their high calling as living witnesses of Christ's love, mercy and grace. That's no easy assignment in the middle of a multi-sided civil war between murderous extremists who hate you.
Towns and villages in Syria that have been home to Christians for 2,100 years are being steadily emptied as families flee persecution, the deadly violence of a civil war, fears of chemical warfare and a rash of targeted kidnappings in which Christian leaders have been held for large ransoms.
A Syrian Orthodox congregation at prayer.
But some are staying – declaring they are called to be lights in the darkness.
"Since the civil war in Syria began, Christians have increasingly suffered attacks from radical Islamists," reports International Christian Concern. "In the past 18 months, a staggering 2 million Syrians have fled their country to seek refuge in neighboring countries. Syrian Christian leaders are asking for our help for those Christians who have fled. Unable to work, they are desperate. Help is necessary to sustain the families and very little aid has come to them so far."
Life is even more difficult for those who have chosen to stay. While thousands of the Christians in northeastern Syria are believed to have fled, at least two thirds are staying.
"It breaks my heart to think how our long history is being uprooted," Syriac Christian leader Ishow Goriye, told Ruth Sherlock, of the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph reporting from the Syrian area of al-Hasakah. He is among Syriac Christians who say they are determined to stay – because of their high calling to be living witnesses of Christ's love, mercy and grace – no easy assignment in the middle of a multi-sided civil war between zealous extremists.
Syria's Orthodox congregations have for centuries proudly claimed to be the most ancient in the world. Shortly after Christ's crucifixion, a zealot named Saul led an expedition into Syria, intending to bring fugitive Christians back to Jerusalem to be tried for apostasy. Instead, on the road to Damascus – still today Syria's capital – he had a dramatic experience and was transformed into the missionary who spread the Gospel throughout the known world and authored 14 of the New Testament's 27 books.

Nike says it wants to focus on products which most complement the Nike brand.
Nike Incorporated has announced the sale of it's Cole Haan brand to private equity investment group Apax Partners for $570 million dollars.
In May, Nike, which makes athletic footwear and other sports-related gear, announced its intention to divest its Umbro soccer brand and Cole Haan, which is known for upscale leather goods.
Nike said it wants to focus on products which most complement the Nike brand. The sale of Umbro to Iconix was announced in October.
A partner in Apax's Retail and Consumer Team says the company is excited to grow the Cole Haan brand in the U.S. and internationally.
