Uhm, what did I do today? Not so much. Finished off that GNOME programming article and started touting it around. Then worked a little bit on the cookery thing.
Of course, that turned into another sidetrack; I wanted a columned list for the main recipe list, and it turned out that Gtk::CList was a little clunky. You have to store the data yourself, for instance, since it's tricky to get it back out of the object; it's more or less a display-only thing. So, I wrote a little module I called Gtk::HandyCList which holds the table as part of its private data. I then added some bits so that when you click on column names, you get the data sorted. And then reverse sorted if you click on it again. And then came a method for specifying the size of the columns as a percentage, and it just carried on from there. Released it to CPAN about lunchtime.
Another "is this a bug" day with Unicode stuff. People didn't seem to understand what use bytes does, which is understandable; I provided a bit more documentation. There was also a problem that print leaked UTF8; now I've "fixed" it so that if we're not in bytes, UTF8 is downgraded. I say "fixed" because now saying use bytes will make Perl print out the data in UTF8, and saying use utf8 will make it print it out as bytes. That's, uh, confusing.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:46 PM GMT on December 19, 2008
Yesterday, at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), climate change scientists discussed the risks and benefits of deliberately altering Earth's climate through "geoengineering". One measure of the concern scientists have about Earth's climate could be gauged by the standing-room only crowd of 200 that packed the presentation room. The eleven speakers at the session laid out some radical and dangerous ideas for deliberately altering Earth's climate. They uniformly cautioned that the uncertainties and dangers of implementing any of these schemes was high, but that geoengineering may be necessary if efforts to control greenhouse gases fail and the climate begins to undergo rapid and destructive changes.
David Keith presented the results of a week-long workshop held earlier this year that brought together ten of the world's experts on geoengineering. He emphasized that even if we stopped emitting CO2 today, the possibility of dangerous climate change capable of causing a "climate emergency" may still be higher than 1%, thanks to the tremendous inertia of the heat stored in the oceans. Of course, we're not going to stop emitting CO2 today. Dealing with a future climate emergency is technically feasible, if we inject large quantities of sulfur into the tropical stratosphere via aircraft, artillery, or tethered balloons with hoses. Sulfur injection into the stratosphere is considered to be the leading candidate for geoengineering, since nature has done this many times via volcanic eruptions, and we have some idea of what to expect. As I reported in a blog post earlier this year, the idea is being championed by Nobel prize-winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen.
One problem with injecting sulfur into the stratosphere is that it tends to settle back to the surface in about ten months. A. V. Eliseev explained that in order to keep global temperatures under control in a world with ever-increasing CO2 emissions, we would have to inject an ever increasing amount of sulfur into the atmosphere. His computer model results showed that if a funding lapse occurred in, say, the year 2075, the atmosphere would rapidly warm by 5-9°F (3-5°C) over most of North America, Europe, and Asia, within a decade of cessation of the geoengineering efforts. The resulting shock to ecosystems would be extremely dangerous to civilization.
Richard Turco of UCLA estimated that injecting enough sulfur in the stratosphere to properly geoengineer the climate would require 3000 aircraft sorties per day, and cost $50-$100 billion per year. Model results he presented showed a large amount of uncertainty as to what might happen, and he cautioned that there was "no guarantee of success, and failure would be catastrophic".
A. Robrock of Rutgers disagreed with Dr. Turco, and estimated that the cost of injecting the required amount of sulfur into the stratosphere would by less that $5 billion per year, provided the U.S. military would let scientists use 167 of the existing fleet of 522 F15C Eagle jets to do the job. After all, he reasoned, why wouldn't the military want to use their aircraft to confront our enemy (global warming?) High-altitude fighter jets would be required to do the job, since ordinary jetliners cannot fly high enough to penetrate into the stratosphere. He cautioned that such a fleet of aircraft would have to fly three missions per day, and their exhaust gases would probably cause significant destruction of Earth's protective ozone layer. Furthermore, modeling studies show that we don't know what size particles to make, where to put the sulfur, and what uneven effects the efforts might have on Earth's climate. He concluded, "there are many reasons not to do geoengineering".
A more ecological approach to geoengineering was presented by Phil Rasch of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and by Jim Haywood of Britain's Met Office Hadley Center. They proposed building a fleet of wind-powered ships known as Fletter vessels (Figure 1) that would spray large amounts of sea salt into the air in regions where there are existing stratocumulus clouds. The sea salt would act as nuclei around which moisture could condense, making the clouds more reflective. A fleet of approximately 66 of these vessels would be required to seed the clouds over 30% of the globe, to balance a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, they cautioned that while this solution would be relatively cheap, the technology to implement this scheme would be difficult. Furthermore, studies performed with climate models showed that the resulting climate shift would not be uniform, and many areas would experience drought. In particular, Dr. Haywood showed the possibility of severe drought in the Amazon rain forest and in the Southwest U.S.
Figure 1. A conceptual picture of Flettner spray vessel with Thom fences. These wind-driven vessels have vertical spinning cylinders that use the Magnus effect to produce forces perpendicular to the wind direction. Anton Flettner built a ship using this technology that crossed the Atlantic in 1926. The proposed geoengineering Flettner vessels would sail over ocean regions covered with stratocumulus clouds and make the existing clouds whiter by spraying small salt particles into the air. Image is copyright J. MacNeill 2006. For more information on these vessels, see Salter at al., 2008, "Sea-going hardware for the cloud albedo method of reversing global warming", Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society A, 366, Number 1882, pp3989-4006, 13 November 2008.
Katharine Ricke of Carnagie Mellon University cautioned that the foreign policy community has virtually no awareness of geoengineering issues, and would be totally unprepared for the possibility of some country deciding to unilaterally attempt a geoengineering program on their own. She suggested that an effort needs to be made to promote international agreements on geoengineering, perhaps including binding treaties.

Getting started with UEFI development
It's not difficult to write a UEFI application under Linux. You'll need three things:
- An installed copy of the gnu-efi library and headers
- A copy of the UEFI specification from here
- Something running UEFI (OVMF is a good option if you don't have any UEFI hardware)
So, let's write a trivial UEFI application. Here's one from the gnu-efi source tree:
#include <efi.h> #include <efilib.h> EFI_STATUS efi_main (EFI_HANDLE image, EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab) { SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_INTERFACE *conout; conout = systab->ConOut; InitializeLib(image, systab); uefi_call_wrapper(conout->OutputString, 2, conout, L"Hello World!\n\r"); return EFI_SUCCESS; }The includes are fairly obvious. efi.h gives you UEFI functions defined by the specification, and efilib.h gives you functions provided by gnu-efi. The runtime will call efi_main() rather than main(), so that's our main function. It returns an EFI_STATUS which will in turn be returned to whatever executed the binary. The EFI_HANDLE image is a pointer to the firmware's context for this application, which is used in certain calls. The EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab is a pointer to the UEFI system table, which in turn points to various other tables.
So far so simple. Now things get interesting. The heart of the UEFI programming model is a set of protocols that provide interfaces. Each of these interfaces is typically a table of function pointers. In this case, we're going to use the simple text protocol to print some text. First, we get a pointer to the simple text output table. This is always referenced from the system table, so we can simply assign it. InitializeLib() just initialises some internal gnu-efi functions - it's not technically required if we're purely calling native UEFI functions as we are here, but it's good style since forgetting it results in weird crashes.
Anyway. We now have conout, a pointer to a SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_INTERFACE structure. This is described in section 11.4 of the UEFI spec, but looks like this:
typedef struct _EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL { EFI_TEXT_RESET Reset; EFI_TEXT_STRING OutputString; EFI_TEXT_TEST_STRING TestString; EFI_TEXT_QUERY_MODE QueryMode; EFI_TEXT_SET_MODE SetMode; EFI_TEXT_SET_ATTRIBUTE SetAttribute; EFI_TEXT_CLEAR_SCREEN ClearScreen; EFI_TEXT_SET_CURSOR_POSITION SetCursorPosition; EFI_TEXT_ENABLE_CURSOR EnableCursor; SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_MODE *Mode; } EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL;The majority of these are functions - the only exception is the SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_MODE pointer, which points to the current mode. In an ideal world you'd be able to just call these directly, but sadly UEFI and Linux calling conventions are different and we need some thunking. That's where the uefi_call_function() call comes in. This takes a UEFI function as its first argument (in this case, conout->OutputString), the number of arguments (2, in this case) and then the arguments. Checking the spec for OutputString, we see this:
typedef EFI_STATUS (EFIAPI *EFI_TEXT_STRING) ( IN EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *This, IN CHAR16 *String );The first argument is a pointer to the specific instance of the simple text output protocol. This permits multiple instances of the same protocol to exist on a single machine, without having to duplicate all of the code. The second argument is simply a UCS-2 string. Our conout pointer is a pointer to the protocol, so we pass that as the first argument. For the second argument, we pass L"Hello World!\n", with the L indicating that this is a wide string rather than a simple 8-bit string. uefi_call_function() then rearranges these arguments into the appropriate calling convention and calls the UEFI function. The firmware then prints "Hello World!" on the screen. Success.
(Warning: uefi_call_function() does no type checking on its arguments, so if you pass in a struct instead of a pointer it'll build without complaint and then give you a bizarre error at runtime)
Finally, we clean up by simply returning EFI_SUCCESS. Nothing more for us to worry about. That's the simple case. What about a more complicated one? Let's do something with that EFI_HANDLE that got passed into efi_main().
#include <efi.h> #include <efilib.h> EFI_STATUS efi_main (EFI_HANDLE image, EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab) { EFI_LOADED_IMAGE *loaded_image = NULL; EFI_GUID loaded_image_protocol = LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL; EFI_STATUS status; InitializeLib(image, systab); status = uefi_call_wrapper(systab->BootServices->HandleProtocol, 3, image, &loaded_image_protocol, (void **) &loaded_image); if (EFI_ERROR(status)) { Print(L"handleprotocol: %r\n", status); } Print(L"Image base : %lx\n", loaded_image->ImageBase); Print(L"Image size : %lx\n", loaded_image->ImageSize); Print(L"Image file : %s\n", DevicePathToStr(loaded_image->FilePath)); return EFI_SUCCESS; }UEFI handles can have multiple protocols attached to them. A handle may represent a piece of physical hardware, or (as in this case) it can represent a software object. In this case we're going to get a pointer to the loaded image protocol that's associated with the binary we're running. To do this we call the HandleProtocol() function from the Boot Services table. Boot services are documented in section 6 of the UEFI specification and are the interface to the majority of UEFI functionality. HandleProtocol takes an image and a protocol identifier, and hands back a pointer to the protocol. UEFI protocol identifiers are all GUIDs and defined in the specification. If you call HandleProtocol on a handle that doesn't implement the protocol you request, you'll simply get an error back in the status argument. No big deal.
The loaded image protocol is fairly different to the simple text output protocol in that it's almost entirely data rather than function pointers. In this case we're printing the address that our executable was loaded at and the size of our relocated executable. Finally, we print the path of the file. UEFI device paths are documented in section 9.2 of the UEFI specification. They're a binary representation of a file path, which may include the path of the device that the file is on. DevicePathToStr is a gnu-efi helper function that converts the objects it understands into a textual representation. It doesn't cover the full set of specified UEFI device types, so in some corner cases it may print "Unknown()".
That covers how to use protocols attached to the image handle. How about protocols that are attached to other handles? In that case we can do something like this:
#include <efi.h> #include <efilib.h> EFI_STATUS efi_main (EFI_HANDLE image_handle, EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *systab) { EFI_STATUS status; EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *gop; EFI_GUID gop_guid = EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_GUID; InitializeLib(image_handle, systab); status = uefi_call_wrapper(systab->BootServices->LocateProtocol, 3, &gop_guid, NULL, &gop); Print(L"Framebuffer base is at %lx\n", gop->Mode->FrameBufferBase); return EFI_SUCCESS; }This will find the first (where first is an arbitrary platform ordering) instance of a protocol and return a pointer to it. If there may be multiple instances of a protocol (as there often are with the graphics output protocol) you should use LocateHandleBuffer() instead. This returns an array of handles that implement the protocol you asked for - you can then use HandleProtocol() to give you the instance on the specific handle. There's various helpers in gnu-efi like LibLocateHandle() that make these boilerplate tasks easier. You can find the full list in /usr/include/efi/efilib.h.
That's a very brief outline of how to use basic UEFI functionality. The spec documents the full set of UEFI functions available to you, including things like direct block access, filesystems and networking. The process is much the same in all cases - you locate the handle that you want to interact with, open the protocol that's installed on it and then make calls using that protocol.
Building these examplesBuilding these examples is made awkward due to UEFI wanting PE-COFF binaries and Linux toolchains building ELF binaries. You'll want a makefile something like this:
ARCH = $(shell uname -m | sed s,i[3456789]86,ia32,) LIB_PATH = /usr/lib64 EFI_INCLUDE = /usr/include/efi EFI_INCLUDES = -nostdinc -I$(EFI_INCLUDE) -I$(EFI_INCLUDE)/$(ARCH) -I$(EFI_INCLUDE)/protocol EFI_PATH = /usr/lib64/gnuefi EFI_CRT_OBJS = $(EFI_PATH)/crt0-efi-$(ARCH).o EFI_LDS = $(EFI_PATH)/elf_$(ARCH)_efi.lds CFLAGS = -fno-stack-protector -fpic -fshort-wchar -mno-red-zone $(EFI_INCLUDES) ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64) CFLAGS += -DEFI_FUNCTION_WRAPPER endif LDFLAGS = -nostdlib -znocombreloc -T $(EFI_LDS) -shared -Bsymbolic -L$(EFI_PATH) -L$(LIB_PATH) \ $(EFI_CRT_OBJS) -lefi -lgnuefi TARGET = test.efi OBJS = test.o SOURCES = test.c all: $(TARGET) test.so: $(OBJS) $(LD) -o $@ $(LDFLAGS) $^ $(EFI_LIBS) %.efi: %.so objcopy -j .text -j .sdata -j .data \ -j .dynamic -j .dynsym -j .rel \ -j .rela -j .reloc -j .eh_frame \ --target=efi-app-$(ARCH) $^ $@There's rather a lot going on here, but the important stuff is the CFLAGS line and everything after that. First, we need to disable the stack protection code - there's nothing in the EFI runtime for it to call into, so we'll build a binary with unresolved symbols otherwise. Second, we need to build position independent code, since UEFI may relocate us anywhere. short-wchar is needed to indicate that strings like L"Hi!" should be 16 bits per character, rather than gcc's default of 32 bits per character. no-red-zone tells the compiler not to assume that there's 256 bytes of stack available to it. Without this, the firmware may modify stack that the binary was depending on.
The linker arguments are less interesting. We simply tell it not to link against the standard libraries, not to merge relocation sections, and to link in the gnu-efi runtime code. Nothing very exciting. What's more interesting is that we build a shared library. The reasoning here is that we want to perform all our linking, but we don't want to build an executable - the Linux executable runtime code would be completely pointless in a UEFI binary. Once we have our .so file, we use objcopy to pull out the various sections and rebuild them into a PE-COFF binary that UEFI will execute.

Why The Nassau Grouper Needs Endangered Species Protection
Posted On December 13, 2012 by Ivy Fredrickson
Nothing exemplifies the challenges of managing reef fish quite like the woeful tale of Nassau grouper. Once an iconic emblem of healthy Caribbean reefs (see Carmen Yeung's recent post on endangered corals) and a staple of subsistence fisheries, this shallow water grouper is now threatened with extinction throughout most of its natural range.
Despite its large range — and area through the Caribbean and some of North and South America's Atlantic Ocean — several characteristics of this grouper species make it particularly vulnerable to depletion:
- These fish grow slowly,
- don't reproduce until later in life,
- appear in shallow waters close to shore and thus human populations, and
- they are popular at the dinner table.
While these things don't necessarily condemn a fish to threatened or endangered status, one particular trait of the Nassau grouper does: They reproduce only once per year at the same place, at the same time and they do so by the tens of thousands. Or they did.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Singer/songwriter Terri Hendrix was born and raised in San Antonio, TX. She left home to attend Hardin-Simmons University in Abelene on vocal scholarship before transferring to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, where she continues to reside. While there she came under the influence of a local philanthropist, Marion Williamson, who owned a property in Hye, TX called Wilory Farm. In exchange for working on the farm, Hendrix received voice and guitar lessons from Williamson and developed a friendship with her that lasted until Williamson's death from cancer in 1997. To honor her, Hendrix changed the name of her record label from Tycoon Cowgirl Records to Wilory Records and issued an album entitled Wilory Farm in 1998. Her previous album, Two Dollar Shoes had received critical acclaim by that time, making her a local hit. Hendrix's versatile, folky style -- which hangs elements of blues, pop, and traditional music on a country framework -- was also featured on a 1999 live recording and 2000's Wilroy Farm and Places in Between. 2002 saw the release of Ring, described by Performing Songwriter as a "thoroughly captivating record". The year also found the artist performing at top festivals around the country and bringing home a Grammy for "Lil' Jack Slade," a song co-written for the Dixie Chicks' Home album. Her next release is slated for summer, 2004.

Progeria is usually detected in infancy or early childhood when a baby first shows the characteristic signs of premature aging. It's likely that your family doctor or your child's pediatrician will notice these signs and symptoms during regular checkups.
If you first notice changes in your child that could be signs and symptoms of progeria, make an appointment with your child's doctor. After evaluation, your child may be referred to a medical genetics specialist.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment.
Before your appointment:
For progeria, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor will perform a thorough physical exam of your child, including:
Don't hesitate to ask questions. Progeria is a very rare disease, and it's likely that your doctor will need to gather more information before determining next steps in caring for your child. Your questions and concerns can help your doctor develop a list of topics to investigate.
During follow-up visits, your child's weight and height will be measured and plotted on a chart of normal growth values. Additional regular evaluations, including electrocardiograms and dental, vision and hearing exams, may be recommended by your doctor to check for changes.

I should start by saying no one got hurt, no one died, and no one is going to jail…
It was August and we were heading home from Philmont Scout Ranch. Our two crews from the Troop stopped in Grand Junction, Colorado to eat at the Golden Corral Buffet, a restaurant that our Scouts came to love on the trip down to Philmont. I sat at a table with a handful of older Scouts and one in particular, I will call him Phil. Phil was a life Scout and a real active member of the Troop. Phil is a Senior in High School now, but at the time was enjoying his summer and just had a great time at Philmont. Phil has a little brother in the Troop that is real motivated and did a great job in pushing Phil to get going on advancement and taking a more active role in the Troop. So Phil and I started talking about his 18th Birthday and soon it would be on us. We talked about his goals and what he was planning on doing after high school. He stated that he was planning on joining the Army. Immediately I had some advice for him and we started talking about wrapping up his last requirements for Eagle. He had 8 months till he turned 18 and if he got going, he could knock out those last merit badges and focus on his Eagle Project.
About a month ago Phil decided that he really wanted to earn his Eagle rank. So, we started looking into how he could finish the merit badges and get the project rolling. Phil showed moments of absolute motivation and effort that I wish all our Scouts had in them. He also showed moments of "let it ride". He fell into the trap of Maxing the minimum. Last week he got some critical merit badges complete and his Eagle Project approved. This week he hit a road block when he discovered that he was going to have a challenge that time would not allow him to over come. Tonight, he decided, along with discussion with his Dad and then me, that he could not finish before he turns 18 on Sunday.
Tonight I went to his home and sat and talked with him, his brother, and his Dad. We talked about the lessons learned through this process and that although he will not be an Eagle Scout, he has learned much from Scouting and that he is a better person for it. I shared with him that I am not an Eagle Scout.. in much the same fashion, I ran out of time when I was approaching my 18th birthday. I to joined the Army and turned 18 while in Basic Training. Instead of Eagle Scout, I earned Private First Class. All was not lost though.. the things that I learned in Scouting made me a successful soldier and in 24 months I achieved the rank of Sergeant. I shared all of this with Phil to reinforce that even though he can't be an Eagle Scout he can take what Scouting gave him and what he learned and earned and apply it for the rest of his life.
Over the past few weeks and in particular the last few days, I have done everything that I can possibly do to assist this young man in becoming an Eagle Scout. I have looked for loop holes and work arounds and at the end of the day the lesson learned is that there is a process and that process needs to be done right. No short cuts, no loop holes, and no work arounds. With every thing we had we tried, we could not help the Scout that waited.
This is the first time I have ever had to look a young man in the eye and say that I am sorry he can not be an Eagle Scout. This is the first time that we have run the course and not succeeded. Not that the Scout is a failure, but that the Scout did not finish in time.
I am exhausted. This young man has worked hard, but he started to late to get motivated and get it done. I have seen a strong work ethic emerge in this young man and I hope that he learned that when he puts his mind to it, he can and will be successful. This short fall is not the end of the world and a great lesson in life.
He's going to keep working on his project so it will benefit the community. That is a great thing. His service will be lasting, something he learned along the way in Scouting.
What I have learned in this process is that I need to do a better job of setting the Scouts up. I will not do the work, nor will I nag the Scout.. but what I will do, and what our Troop will do from this day forward is simple. On their 17th birthday we will sit down with the Scout and his progress record. We will explain the process and encourage them to start getting real serious if they want to be an Eagle Scout. They will have 365 day notice that time is running out. They will know beyond a shadow of a doubt what they need to finish and we will give them the tools to be successful. What they do with it from there is up to them.
I will not scramble like this again. I will not get in a position of working merit badges with a Scout 3 days before his 18th birthday. It is not the way the process is designed and does not demonstrate what it takes to be an Eagle Scout.
I feel real bad for Phil. I wish he was planning an Eagle Court of Honor right now. What I know for sure is that Phil has learn some valuable life lessons this last month and I feel that he will go on to do great things with his life because of it. I certainly hope so.
Scouting was real good for Phil. He did well. He just came up short. That's life.. as hard as that is to hear. What he does with that knowledge is up to him now.
I gave him a coin tonight, it is the coin that I was allowed to have made when I became a Command Sergeant Major. I can't award him the Eagle Medal, but the coin is to serve to him as a reminder of hard work and dedication and the rewards for effort. I am not an Eagle Scout, but I made it to the very top in the Army, so can he… if he wants to.
This has been a bad week for me in Scouting… but one that I learned alot and I hope that Phil did to.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Bad Week as a Scouter
I should start by saying no one got hurt, no one died, and no one is going to jail…

I figured out that the song is sung by Chris Rhea. He is a popular musician in Europe and has a following here in North America, but to a lesser extent. I do not hear his music on any radio station I listen two, and only the Christmas song on Canadian radio (which I am 25 miles away from the border).
When I found out about the artist, I did an Itunes search in hopes of purchasing the song. I would say they had 75% of his songs available off Itunes, but not this particular song. Local retailers had very little of any of Chris's songs.
I knew Ebay and other online retailiers would be other avenues that I could explore, but I didn't want to spend $15 with shipping on a CD for one song. So I kept hoping for an online music store to make that one song available and for two years, no luck. So I finally broke down and ordered the CD off Ebay, cheap, from Argentina and am awaiting shipping.

Look at the Gallup Poll again. It charts a trend STARTING 6 weeks ago, and shows support increasing over that time.
You can google the CNN poll to see it. It's been published lots of places at this point.
While you're at it, since you are seemingly certain that the data I presented is wrong, let's see what you are basing yout position on (beyond wishful thinking).
These are the facts:
- The majority of this country supports the stimulus bill.
- The majority of this country approves of President Obama's performance (by a WIDE margin).
- The Republican party is shrinking.
You can choose to dismiss these facts as 'flawed methodology' or 'liberal bias', but in doing so you are ignoring the reality of the situation that the Republican party is in.

Driver back with Packers after uncertain offseason
Driver's fate was in doubt after loss to Giants
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The day after a playoff loss to the New York Giants in January, Donald Driver seemed resigned to the idea that he may have put on his Green Bay Packers uniform for the last time.
A few months -- and one big TV dance contest victory -- later, Driver was back on the practice field for a workout Wednesday.
And even if he had to restructure his contract to make that happen, and now faces competition, the 37-year-old remains remarkably confident.
Driver wasn't willing to discuss the details of his restructured deal, although it's safe to assume he took a pay cut. Another thing that wasn't clear: Whether Driver had any assurances from the Packers that he'll make the roster coming out of training camp.

It is now two months until the inauguration in Washington, and it would be nice if the world went into a postelection recess for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's holidays. With Israel facing elections on January 22, there might once have been some hope for a brief respite. Alas, events in the Middle East are heating up and are likely to keep getting hotter this winter and into the spring.
Until this week the hottest crisis was in Syria, where the death total is now around 40,000—with about 10 times that number as refugees and many hundreds of thousands more as internally displaced persons. American policy has, at least until now, been to combine diplomatic activity with military and intelligence passivity. American, EU, and Arab pressure got the Syrian opposition to offer a new, unified face to the world last week, but that unity will be useless unless it elicits more military help. Bashar al-Assad cannot defeat the rebels, but with more help they can defeat him. Optimists think the recent American diplomatic efforts are the precursor to a new, postelection activism that sees us getting more arms to the opposition so they can seize and keep more territory in northern Syria and then begin to move south toward Damascus.
And the departure of CIA director David Petraeus may even help here, for he was reported to be extremely cautious about ramping up the CIA's role in the Syria crisis. Chances are, then, that Syria will see more fighting in the next few months. A no-fly zone remains unlikely, especially if the rebels appear to be making gains without one. If the rebels win, the administration will next year claim that it handled things perfectly well and that critics who argued for a greater American role sooner were just mindless hawks or—worse yet—neoconservatives! But the fall of Assad will only inaugurate the next stage in the Syria crisis, as jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood, and more moderate and secular elements of the opposition struggle for power. Here the administration's passivity—allowing the crisis to drag on for two years—may prove to have been catastrophic. The jihadist presence in Syria was tiny and unimportant when the war began, but grew monthly as Sunnis watched the regime slaughter their brethren while Western powers did little or nothing. Will the jihadists just go home when Assad falls, or make more trouble in the neighborhood? Will the Brotherhood prove to be the best organized group while moderates are divided and feckless, as happened in Egypt? The time to have helped those moderate forces—with guns, to be sure they were a powerful part of the victorious coalition, and with humanitarian aid, to be sure they could buy influence and show the benefits of their Western ties—is about over. The Obama administration muffed this, and Syria and its neighbors will all pay the price over the next few years.
Even with the fighting in Syria, the hottest crisis spot right now is obviously Gaza. In the last two weeks the number of rockets and mortars fired from Gaza into Israel grew into the hundreds, something no Israeli government could tolerate for long. This kind of terrorism from Gaza is what produced Operation Cast Lead in December 2008, when Israeli air and ground forces attacked Hamas and other terrorist groups there. It remains unclear why Hamas decided to produce a crisis now, but it is clearly a Hamas decision and not merely the action of uncoordinated jihadist groups. Hamas could have done more to repress the other groups and prevent them from firing into Israel; instead it joined the fray and officially claimed credit for some of the attacks.
The Israelis do not seek another ground war in Gaza, but something had to be done. Their air attacks into Gaza in early November were meant to signal Hamas to knock it off, but failed; in the three-day period from Saturday to Monday, November 10-12, more than a hundred rockets were shot into Israel. Israel responded on November 14 with airstrikes that among other things killed the Hamas military leader in Gaza, Ahmed Jabari. Those strikes had wall-to-wall political support in Israel, and in this preelection period no candidate wishes to appear weak in the face of terror.
The Israeli tactic is to make the Hamas leadership pay directly for these terror attacks on Israel rather than to make the population of Gaza pay. Israeli targeting was extremely careful, and by Friday afternoon there had been several hundred strikes by the Israeli Air Force but fewer than two dozen Palestinian deaths—and very few accidental hits at civilians that Hamas could turn to propaganda advantage. The hope is that Hamas will be persuaded that the price is too high, and the rockets will stop—and meanwhile Israel will not have to listen to European and Arab complaints about the plight of the poor people of Gaza under Israeli attack. The initial Hamas reaction of more rocket attacks into Israel to avenge the death of Jabari was predictable, and does not tell us whether Hamas really wishes to escalate. If it does, an Israeli ground assault is inevitable—and reserves were called up in Israel in midweek.
When Israel began Shabbat, the supposed day of rest, as a day of war on Friday, the question remained whether Hamas was going to force a ground invasion by continuing and even escalating its attacks. It is plausible, because Hamas is in a difficult position, and a week of what it will call "martyrdom" may look attractive. The Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt has not been the boon they had anticipated, and the border with Egypt has been only partially opened. Egyptian soldiers continue to take apart the smuggling tunnels that over the years have provided so many goods to Gaza—and so much income to Hamas. And Egypt's new government has not renounced the peace treaty with Israel, is negotiating with the IMF for a loan, and appears to seek steady relations with Washington—all anathema to the Hamas warriors in Gaza. In fact, Cairo even urged Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel. Meanwhile the effort of Palestinian Authority president and Fatah party chairman Mahmoud Abbas in the United Nations appears headed for a late November vote that will give "Palestine" the status of a "non-member state" U.N. observer. With that status in hand Abbas says he wants to restart negotiations with Israel after its elections (abandoning the Palestinian Authority's previous position, in essence imposed by the Obama administration, that all construction in settlements and in Jerusalem had to be frozen first).
All this left Hamas looking marginalized, and what fun is there in governing a poor and tiny principality? Better, perhaps, to remind the world of Hamas's true vocation, which is terror; to remind everyone that Hamas is still there and can still produce a regional crisis; and to remind would-be peacemakers with Abbas that he controls only half the Palestinian population. But whatever Hamas's debatable motivations, it has produced this crisis and must now seek to avoid a visible defeat. Logically that should mean stopping now, but the leaders of Hamas are not conventional politicians. Their actions in the last few weeks remind us that Hamas leaders too have a "policy" on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and that it is not to prove they are effective negotiators in U.N. salons or efficient administrators of the statelet they now rule. They are not irrational, but they are terrorists, enthralled by blood, death, and martyrdom.
What we will learn early next year is whether there is a U.S. policy on Israeli-Palestinian issues beyond stopping the current violence. Since the quick failure of the September 2010 peace extravaganza at the White House, attended by Netanyahu, Abbas, Mubarak, and the king of Jordan, the Obama administration has not had one. The days when George Mitchell and Hillary Clinton inveighed against settlements are long gone. Today the administration is opposing Abbas's U.N. efforts, and when he succeeds the administration will try to persuade him not to complicate matters further by bringing Israeli generals before the International Criminal Court or joining additional U.N. agencies—actions that would embitter Israeli-Palestinian relations even further, potentially prevent renewed negotiations, and lead Congress to end American support for those agencies just as we have withdrawn our support for UNESCO (where we supplied 22 percent of the budget). We see what Obama wants to prevent, but we don't know what he wants to promote. Does he see the "peace process" as a second-term chance for greatness, or a magnet for endless and useless diplomatic efforts?
Just managing the current developments in the region would seem to be enough to keep our diplomats busy when the president's second term begins, without the reach for an Israeli-Palestinian peace and a great ceremony on the White House lawn. Not only will there be Syria, the violence coming from Gaza, a Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt whose commitment to democracy is at best unproved, and an increasing sense of instability in Jordan, but looming over all this will be Iran. Negotiations between the Islamic Republic and the P5+1—the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany, and Russia—will resume soon. But what is the president's game? Obama loyalists debate whether he really means "all options are on the table" and might some day bomb Iran or support an Israeli strike.
The first steps will be diplomatic, and the question is whether the administration will avoid the hardest choice—war—not by ending the Iranian program through sanctions and negotiations, but by accepting a bad deal and calling it victory. Defining what is a bad deal will of course be the substance of the debate, and it can be very technical at points. But the gap between what the Security Council resolutions demand and what Iran will be willing to accept seems very wide, and a deal that can be described as "even weaker than what the U.N. wanted!" may not seem too attractive to most Americans. There's no particular reason for Republicans—who have always taken a harder line on Iran than has Obama, and who forced many of the current sanctions on him—to accept such a deal, and they can be expected to oppose it. So may the Israelis, and so at least in private may the French. And so may the Arab Gulf states, who not only oppose a deal that allows Iran to have any nuclear program at all but also fear that an Iran that feels triumphant and has gotten all sanctions removed may step up its subversion in the region.
If there are serious negotiations with Iran, the president must decide fast whether they will be bilateral rather than with the Security Council members and Germany—which would make both the Israelis and Arabs very nervous—and whether he will offer Iran a "grand bargain" that goes beyond nukes to end 30 years of hostility between the United States and the Islamic Republic, which would make the Israelis and Arabs even more nervous. He may well find that Khamenei, whose loathing for the United States knows no limits, refuses such talks and such a deal—or indeed any deal. If so, the president will next spring face an Israel that thinks its military option must be exercised soon, as he will face a decision about American military options.
All of this is in the cards, but wild cards may appear. What if we find that al Qaeda groups in northern Mali were involved in the Benghazi attack and need to strike at them before that region becomes a new safe haven for al Qaeda bases? What if the palpable unease in Jordan turns into serious demonstrations (and there were sizable demonstrations this past week) against the king? What if the king and crown prince of Saudi Arabia, both in questionable health, die or become incapacitated in the coming months? What if Iran decides to turn Bahrain into a greater crisis by spurring riots there, or sends more Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah troops into Syria to bolster the Assad regime?
Also among the wild cards are the names of our own top officials. Who will deal with crises on the American side? A Secretary of State Susan Rice, who saw Benghazi as a demonstration and not terrorism, or John Kerry, who long argued that Assad was a reformer? Who will be running the Pentagon on the day the president must decide about bombing Iran, or supporting an Israeli bombing and helping the Israelis deal with its consequences? Who will be CIA director as we contemplate everything from drone strikes in Mali, to arming the Syrian rebels, to sabotage in Iran?
The next three to six months in the Middle East will make Obama administration officials look back to 2012 with nostalgia as a quiet time when they were able to focus on the campaign. The coming year will be much tougher—starting now.

Yes. The Department strongly encourages local programs to identify other sources of related funding and to describe, in their applications, how all of these resources will be combined or coordinated to offer a high-quality, sustainable program. Each local application must identify Federal, State, and local programs that also offer after-school services and that will be combined or coordinated with the proposed program to make the most effective use of public resources.
However, 21st CCLC funds awarded to local grantees must be used only to supplement the level of Federal, State, local, and other non-Federal funds and not to replace funds that would have been available to conduct activities if 21st CCLC funds had not been available.

Bioware tweeted these out
That looks like Wrex.
Bioware tweeted these out
That looks like Wrex.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...y-source-files"The day of reckoning is nigh! The Reckoning Multiplayer Expansion brings six new never before seen co-op story missions to the game and new co-op gameplay modes. It provides four new maps to conquer and hazard variations of the Earth maps. It also enables reinforcement packs that offer new kits for the salarians, krogans, humans and volus. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons (Chakram Launcher, Blood Pack Punisher and Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle)."
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 6
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...-dlc-announcedBioWare has announced the final downloadable content for Mass Effect 3 for both single-player and multiplayer.
When a sinister conspiracy targets Commander Shepard, you and your team must uncover the truth, through battles and intrigue that range from the glamour of the Citadels Wards to the top-secret Council Archives. Uncover the truth and fight alongside your squad as well as the cast from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.
When the adventure is over, reconnect with your favorite characters from the Mass Effect Trilogy, try your luck at the Citadels Silver Coast Casino, blow off steam in the Armax Combat Arena, or explore and furnish Shepards own living quarters on the Citadel. With unique content and cinematics featuring your friends and romance interests in the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 3: Citadel offers one final chance to see the characters you have known for years and rekindle romances.
Priestly also notes that for Xbox 360 users, the Citadel DLC pack will come as 2 downloads on Xbox Live. ME3 Citadel is larger than our previous DLC packs, so it had to be split into 2 downloads. The first pack is priced at $14.99 and the second pack is tagged as free. Players need to purchase and download pack 1, then download pack 2 at no additional cost. You can download pack 2 without purchasing pack one, but the DLC will not work. You will get an error message in game asking you to download pack 1. It will say This DLC will only work in conjunction with Part 1 of Mass Effect 3: Citadel, which is split across 2 downloadable packages. Please purchase Part 1 prior to downloading Part 2 at no additional cost. This will not hurt your saved game but you will not be able to launch Citadel until you have both packs. This only effects Xbox 360 users. Citadel for the PC and PS3 is in one pack.
In addition to Citadel, BioWare also announced Reckoning, Mass Effect 3s final multiplayer pack. Reckoning offers new characters including the Geth Juggernaut, Female Turian Raptor, Talon Mercenary and Alliance Infiltration Unit. It also includes seven new weapons including the Geth Spitfire Assault Rifle, Venom Shotgun and Lancer Assault Rifle, plus new equipment and weapon mods like the Geth Scanner and Assault Rifle Ultralight materials.
Reckoning will be released for free on February 26th for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC (February 27th for PlayStation 3 in Europe).

The 10 Greatest Muay Thai Fighters According To Me: 1 and 2
- Written by Dave Walsh
2 Apidej Sit Hrun: How many fighters can say they shattered both of his opponents arms in the SAME fight and forced him to retire? I can think of 1, and that would be Apidej Sit Hrun. He's broke many of arms and is probably the hardest kicker in the history of all combat sports. However he wasn't purely a kicker, he was also a successful international boxer, and held titles in that sport. He was named fighter of the century by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who is still the current King so he's seen his share of fighters.
1 Samart Payakaroon: Not only is this man the best Muay Thai fighter of all time (IMO) but he's the best striker of all time period. If it wasn't for Dieselnoi Chor Thunasukarn he would have won fighter of the year in 1981, 1982, and 1983. But since he lost to Dieselnoi he only won the awards in 81, and 83. After establishing himself as a legend in Muay Thai he took his talent too international boxing and in a few years became the WBC Super Bantamweight champion of the world. After a title defense he lost the belt, and decided to come back to Muay Thai. So he's leaves Muay Thai as the best, goes to boxing and becomes the best(at Super Bantamweight) in that sport for a short while, and then comes back to Muay Thai, a sport he hasn't competed in for years and is still the best! Thats just crazy to me. Not only does he come back and win fighter of the year again in 1988, but he's even better than he was in the early 80's. No fighter ever had his skills near the end of his career. The movement, the technical precision, the stamina was just unparalleled. He's the only fighter to have won fighter of the year 3 times, and had he not gone to boxing he would probably be looking at 5 or more.

Despite few clear growth areas in semiconductors, Citigroup upgraded Altera to Buy from Neutral Monday.
Citi raised its price target to $41 from $39, and analysts Glen Young, C. Adeline Lee and Samuel Meehan write that "Altera is joining a group that includes Xilinx (XLNX), Freescale Semiconductor (FSL), and Integrated Device Technology (IDTI) as those materially exposed to China wireless infrastructure." Citi expects China to add more than 1 million, mostly mid-sized base stations in its buildout, with about 500,000 by 2014.*
Citi's analysts write that while the pace of deployment is uncertain, during the 2008-2011 3G deployment, Altera and Xilinx PLD revenue to China grew at a 28% compound annual growth rate, with a 9.8% CAGR in aggregate sales versus 6.4% for semiconductor sales overall. This go, the growth
"will be larger than that for 3G, seting up a period of extended outpeformance for PLD's. We note that during [2008-2011], both ALTR and XLNX consistently outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 and we suspect they can do the same this time."
Shares of Altera (ALTR) are up more than 2% to $35.46.
"We continue to view China wireless infrastructure spending as a unique and material opportunity for select chipmakers. Recall we recently upgraded XLNX, recognizing that during the last 3G build-out, PLD fundamentals meaningfully outperformed the broader chip industry. And while we recognize that ALTR may not be in the same leadership position as they were in the prior build-out, we expect the rising tide to lift their shares as well, particularly given the share under-performance year to date following a series of earnings misses.
Since our upgrade of XLNX just a few weeks ago, our confidence in the certainty and magnitude of the opportunity from China's wireless infrastructure spending has increased. Recall, as recently as mid-May, China Mobile's TD-LTE network deployment looked uncertain, as executives pondered an extension of the TD-SCDMA network or a shift to TD-LTE. However, in comments to the press, China's vice-minister of Industry & Information Technology stated that, "the development of TD-LTE technology has entered a fast-track phase." This was followed by a tender from China Mobile for 207,000 base stations. As we suggested would be the case, results of this tender are now public (Huawei/ZTE comprising 45%, non-Chinese comprising 35%), adding greater certainty to the eventuality of chip orders."
Chip makers including Altera could benefit if U.S. government tax overhaul efforts one-time low tax rates on the repatriation of cash. More in our previous post here, with a table of cash holdings.
*Correction: a previous version of this post misstated the estimated figure for stations built by 2014.

It is considered good etiquette not to quote email without permission. However, these days, emails are often part of a broader discussion spanning blogs, web fora, and so on. It's increasingly easy to run afoul of this etiquette rule. Conversely, it seems awkward to say something like "permission granted to quote" when I respond to, say, a blog entry in an email.
Thus, I propose the two-character string "+ as a shorthand indicating that permission to quote, with attribution, is granted. Permission is also granted to integrate the email into any copylefted documentation (most copylefts do not require attribution).
Analogously, "- is a request that the email not be quoted, perhaps because it contains confidential or sensitive information. Lastly, when someone is known to be familiar with the convention, "? asks whether quoting is permitted.
Spread the meme! "+

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
CARTER FOSTER: Hi. I'm Carter Foster, Steven and Anne Ames Curator of Drawings at the Whitney Museum of American Art. This is a painting called New York Interior by Edward Hopper. He painted this painting with a disembodied eye as if he's just outside of someone's window. Hopper spoke very specifically about being inspired by riding through the city on the city's elevated trains. New York had elevated subway trains for much of its history which have now been dismantled. In riding those trains you could see into people's windows, and lives, and offices and all kinds of other things. I think that's what this painting is about. He paints the woman as unaware of the viewer, so you're almost guilty. It's not that you're looking at something you shouldn't be looking at but he freezes a moment in time that would have been a fleeting moment.
I think one of the most interesting things about it is the way the scene is framed. You see this woman from the back with her hair going down her front so that her shoulders are exposed, so there's a strong erotic undercurrent to the work. But then if you look at the way it's framed, you have a dark rectangle on the left, you have irregular shapes on the right that are also equally dark that are ambiguous. They could be inside the room, they could be part of the building's architecture. That's what really puts you on the threshold of being inside and outside which is one of the great themes of Hopper's career, inside and outside at the same time.

The page protectors that are compatible with this album are:
Universal 12 x 12 Page Protectors
I originally bought this because of the sale price and planned to use it just for storing my photos, BUT, it was so nice that I am using it for my actual scrapbooking/journaling prifects.
I previously purchased this album at my local Michael's, however once I got it home I realized that it had a huge tear across almost the entire top of the front cover, and promptly returned it. Since they had no more in stock, I decided to order it from scrapbook.com and just pay the shipping. Boy am I glad! What I didn't realize is that for some reason, this album comes with a paper-type cover, OR a fabric cover. The damaged one I got from Michael's was paper-this one from scrapbook.com is fabric. SO much better! Looks a lot nicer, I suspect it'll last a lot longer too. And I love this design. The words are great-I love that they don't particularly go with any theme, so I can use it as a general scrapbook as I get started, and then separate my pages off later into more categorized albums as this one grows too big. Love it! Even the rings are better in this album (as opposed to the one I got at Michael's), easier to open and close, which is important for me. Only downside I see is that the binding creaks a bit when opening/closing, which made me nervous about how well it would hold up with consistent use, but this seems to have diminished a bit already and it's only been like a week. Definitely recommended!
This albums has a cloth cover and is perfect for a scrapbook filled with an assortment of pages about various topics!

Used 1 cup of whole wheat flour in place of one of the regular cups of flour. Baked for 35 minutes because my oven is too hot.
You should definitely play around with the amounts (e.g. increase oats, decrease sugar and butter), just be sure to get the right balance of dry to wet ingredients. I doubled the oats but did not decrease the flour enough, so they came out a little dry...and cake-like. Previous reviewers are right: these are not bars, if that's what you're expecting. I would probably not make these again because I was looking for a one-off recipe that used oats and bananas, and I didn't want pancakes.
This is a delightful recipe and a nice alternative to traditional chocolate chip cookie bars. I love this recipe becasue it goes together quickly, is a great way to use up bananas and is slightly more healthy than other desserts/cookies. I've read a lot of mixed reviews on this...a lot of people tried to make it more healthy with wheat flour, etc. I think the recipe could stand up to that however the only alteration I made was to use a bag of mini chocolate chips (ghiradelli) vs chocolate chunks. It yields a hit of chocolate flavor throughout mixed with banana...YUM! A huge hit everytime for those that like a banana/chocolate combo!
Actually, this was an okay recipe - not outstanding. Mine was not a "bar", it was truly cakelike. I wonder if it was becasue I used 3 bananas (too much moisture?) Anyway, glad to use up my ripe bananas in a new way.
My family love these ! Very good healthy snack ... especially with the tweaking thanks to others and my own :) Halved butter and added 1/2 cup ground flax. Use 1/2 amount of sugar and WW pastry flour, double the amount of oatmeal and use 3 mashed bananas. Instead of adding choc chips I melt chocolate and put in ziploc bag, snip off corner and drizzle over cut bars. Look fabulous and cuts on choc calories !
These are so yummy - I've made them a couple of times. Perfect way to use over-ripe bananas if you aren't in the mood for banana bread. Plus - what's yummier than bananas and chocolate?! I love reading reviews on this site to come up with new inspirations for cooking. Today I made these using pumpkin and sunflower seeds as another review suggested. Thanks!
My kids really liked these. I halved the sugar and substituted 1/2 cup of applesauce for one of the sticks of butter. I also substituted wheat flour for one of the cups of regular flour. Next time I will use 3 bananas, add more oats (I did not add any nuts this time) and cut back on the sugar even more.
My kids beg for this bar. I have made a few changes. I changed the flour to 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 oat flour and cut down on the sugar using only 1/4 cup replacing the sweetness by using a small (kid sized0 organic vanilla yogurt. Yummy!! I also bake these bars in a smaller pan as we prefer them thicker.
great recipe, but i made it my own. only used half the butter and sugars and added an extra banana and 3/4 cup of peanut butter. swirl a little jelly and peanut butter oatmeal topping on top before baking and omit the chocolate. i made banana-pb-jelly bars! i guess its a whole new recipe now. **note the minimized baking times recommended by others
I followed this recipe to a 'T' and it cooked in 20 min NOT 45, so you might want to check yours halfway through. My family liked this recipe enough for me to make it again but I don't think it tasted banana enough. I would replace one of the teaspoons of vanilla with banana extract maybe. A good bar cookie and it wasn't cakey like other people said.
