Tetras and bettas! Am I crazy?
Hey, as you might find out I'm new to this place. So, Getting down to business I have a Betta. His name is Takuto, he lives in a Half Gallon tank, and before you go scolding me on how I'm torturing my Betta, I know, it's a bad thing to do but with the money I had at the moment that was the best I could do and honestly I was just glad to get him out of that horrible cup he was in. so MLEH. :P
Alright now on to the others. Just yesterday I bought a Five Gallon tank. (I know still not big enough but considering the fact that my mom didn't want me to get a bigger tank in the first place, I figured better safe than sorry.) ANYWAY~... I've got two Neon Tetras, and one Glowlight Tetra (Again, don't scold it's for an experiment) I got these fish to see how my Betta would react to company. He did look a bit unpleasing by the fact they were there but over all he didn't attack them, I guess. But because I was confused with his reaction, I put him back in the half gallon. TT_TT What do I do with my Betta should I put him in or shouldn't I? How should I go about doing this. (Now I must say I don't have any plant life in the tank and that might be a big problem, but I plan on going to the store this week and picking up some equip. And I've got it on good report that Bettas and tetras can get along very well, And as far as I'm concerned my Betta is very docile.)
Anyway, now that my other fish are on there own (This is the really confusing part) one of my neon tetras and my glowlight tetra have banded together and excluded the other neon from the group.... The two who have bonded together stick together for quite a while and then slowly drift apart but they always come back together, where as my secluded neon is always next to the filter and is scared to come out. (just to let you know he's not dead he comes out every once in a while, but the others push him back to the corner. It's sad really) He tries to show affection to the others by gently rubbing them nothing threatening but the others down right chase him.. I don't know what to do.. any suggestions on why this is happening?
If you are looking for members to tell you that its okay to keep fish in horrendously undersized tanks, and that it could work, then I am afraid you have come to the wrong place. The only advice you will get here is to take the fish back.
If you want to keep the betta, put it in the 5 gallon and return the tetras.
Doubt anyone will be cheering much over "experimenting" with the tetra's either. Agree with the advice given above.
I've gotta agree with the two above threads. But welcome to the forum, it's a great place to be if your willing to learn.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. ― John Wooden

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
Your tetras are in a scary new place, without the support of a school, and I would dare guess in an uncycled tank - they will be incredibly stressed, causing them to behave in a way they would not behave in the wild (or in an apprporiately sized tank). I think you should probably return the tetras to where you got them from - if you leave them as they are, they will probably die from stress (or disease, which they would be more succeptable to, due to stress).
As for a betta, a 5 gallon tank is a good start, but there isn't really space for tankmates. Bettas in community tanks are a bit of a hit and miss at the best of times, and a 5 gallon is nowhere large enough for any tankmates to get out of the way of a territorial betta.
I think you should return the tetras and put the betta in the 5, and leave off getting any other fish until you are in a position to get a larger tank.

Okay, I don't think you get it. I've had my Betta in a half gallon for about a year and a half now. And I know that Bettas only live for about three to four years max. I knew that Tetras and Bettas get along fairly well, but I wanted to make sure, that's where the "experimenting" comes in. I wanted to know weather my Betta would react well with the tetras. That's all the experimenting I was talking about, and I'm sorry for the misconception on that. And I already knew that the environment for the fish was bad, but on the other hand it was much better then the tank at walmart they were living in. (It's still not the best but it was all I could do so shush on that) As far as giving them back, there's no way in my mind I would do that. I know a lot of things about the things that I'm doing that are wrong. So the question shouldn't be how to get them to get along, but how I can make them happier without giving them back. (I know I'm being selfish and unfair but I'd really like to see this work without having to spend ridiculous amounts of money to do so because I don't get much.) Besides I looked at the refund policies of Walmart and it doesn't seem they have a refund unless the fish is dead so there's no way I would be able to do that any way.
Not sure what you want us to tell you. You've clearly said "I know what I'm doing is wrong and I don't want to hear about it."
Nobody here is going to tell you that you can make your fish happy and healthy, because you can't without the purchase of a larger tank and a serious attitude adjustment. You didn't rescue them from the tanks at Walmart, you took them home and forever ruined their chances of being purchased by a responsible pet owner who will give them the care they deserve.
Since you are unwilling to correct it, all you can do is watch them live out whatever stunted, miserable life they'll have until they get the sweet release of death.~Manna
120 gallon FW bowfront in progress
The only way your tetras are going to be happy is if they have more schoolmates. But you really can't fit any more fish in that 5 gallon. So you are really between a rock and a hard place here. I get that you wanted to see how your betta would react in a community tank, but I don't think I understand what your long-term plan was for these fish?

What have been the most history human gene patenting cases in the last three decades?
As of 2013, about 3,000-to-5,000 patents on human genes have been granted in the US. The obvious reason why patenting of human genes stirs a raging controversy every time that it comes to light is because it seems odd to patent an universal entity like a gene.
A closer look at the time when patenting began would reveal many cases where calls for prohibition against patenting certain subject matter have led to controversy. Most often than not, the allegations in such cases are that the patents pose a threat to biomedical research and public health.
It was in December 1980 that the first patent on a recombinant DNA method was granted. The patent, shared by Stanford University and the University of California, laid the groundwork for using cells to produce useful proteins and turning them into valuable drugs.
In the US alone, an estimated 47,000 patents making various claims on DNA or RNA have been granted. It was in the mid-1990s when DNA-related patents recorded maximum growth.
Case I - Diamond v Chakrabarty
This case was fought between petitioner Ms Sidney Diamond, commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, US, vs respondents Mr Ananda Chakrabarty and others, from 1972-to-1980. The bone of contention in the case was 'Whether genetically modified organisms be patented?'
In 1972, genetic engineer Mr Ananda Mohan Chakrabarty working at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, US, filed a patent on a bacterium, that was capable of breaking down crude oil. Mr Chakrabarty had proposed that the invention was novel and potentially useful in cleaning up oil spills. The US Patent and Trademark Office rejected the application claiming that living things, as products of nature and not artifice, could not be patented. Mr Chakrabarty appealed and the decision was reversed by the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Ms Sidney Diamond, commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, asked the US Supreme Court to consider the case.

Roland JV-880
The JV-880 is the rack-mount version of the JV-80 keyboard and features powerful multi-timbral capabilities combined with impressive sound editing capability, all in a 1U rack space. The immediate forerunner to the immensely popular JV-1080/2080, the 880 provides the same high quality sounds for which the entire JV line has come to be respected. And like its descendants, the JV-880's sampled waveform memory can be expanded (to 14 Mbytes) using Roland's series of SR-JV80 expansion boards and SO-PCM1 cards.
Editing sounds is done via the rotary encoder that lets you select parameters and set values at the touch of a button. When editing you can audition sounds right from the front panel by pressing the preview button. There are TVF (filter), TVA (amp), micro-tuning, and multiple LFOs. An onboard effects processor with various types of chorus, reverb, and delays rounds out the package. It is used by K.O.

Family: Fabaceae, Pea view all from this family
Description The Honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos, is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It is mostly found in the moist soil of river valleys ranging from southeastern South Dakota to New Orleans and central Texas, and as far east as eastern Massachusetts.
Honey locusts, Gleditsia triacanthos, can reach a height of 20–30 m (66–100 ft), with fast growth, and are relatively short-lived; their life spans are typically about 120 years, though some live up to 150 years. They are prone to losing large branches in windstorms. The leaves are pinnately compound on older trees but bipinnately compound on vigorous young trees. The leaflets are 1.5–2.5 cm (smaller on bipinnate leaves) and bright green. They turn yellow in the fall (autumn). Leafs out relatively late in spring, but generally slightly earlier than the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia). The strongly scented cream-colored flowers appear in late spring, in clusters emerging from the base of the leaf axils.
The fruit of the Honey locust is a flat legume (pod) that matures in early autumn. The pods are generally between 15–20 cm. The pulp on the insides of the pods is edible, unlike the Black locust, which is toxic. The seeds are dispersed by grazing herbivores such as cattle and horses, which eat the pod pulp and excrete the seeds in droppings; the animal's digestive system assists in breaking down the hard seed coat, making germination easier.
Honey locusts commonly have thorns 3–10 cm long growing out of the branches, some reaching lengths over 20 cm; these may be single, or branched into several points, and commonly form dense clusters. The thorns are fairly soft and green when young, harden and turn red as they age, then fade to ash grey and turn brittle when mature. These thorns are thought to have evolved to protect the trees from browsing Pleistocene megafauna which may also have been involved in seed dispersal. Thornless forms (Gleditsia triacanthos inermis) are occasionally found growing wild and are available as nursery plants.
Habitat Fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Watersides (fresh).
Range Southwest, Southeast, Plains, New England, Great Lakes, California, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Rocky Mountains.
Comments Honey locust is fast-growing and long-lived. It suffers from mites, Mimosa webworm invaders, a number of cankers, and other pests. Exhibits salt-, drought-, heat-, high pH-, and salt-tolerance. Its filtered shade makes underplanting easy. This tree has the ability to spread quickly and can become a weed problem in some pasture areas. Mowing or cutting increases sprouts.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution E. Texas to e. South Dakota, e. to Mississippi & Ohio
Site Preference Moist woods; bottomlands; stream banks; drier, upland sites
Soil Preference Moist, deep, well-drained soil. pH 6.1-7.5.
Wildlife Value Seeds are favored by foxes, squirrels and livestock. The tree attracts butterflies and is a nesting site for mourning doves and songbirds.

The True Cost of Chevron in Nigeria
An interview with Emem Okon, Kebetkuche Women's Development and Resource Center.
Yesterday, Emem Okon arrived in San Francisco after a nearly 24 hour journey from her home in the Rivers State of the Niger Delta.
According to the recently released True Cost of Chevron alternative annual report, Nigeria is among Chevron's top five crude oil and natural gas producing countries. Chevron's operations have brought environmental destruction, oil spills, flaring, destruction of local livelihoods, and mass human rights abuses.
I had the opportunity to chat with Emem and two representatives from the organization Justice in Nigeria Now about the impacts of Chevron's oil operations in Nigeria and what communities are doing to protect their health and safety.
Tell me a bit about Chevron's history in Nigeria.
Oil and gas activities started in the late 1950s and have brought many problems to the Niger Delta (home to 20 million people). Chevron has never replaced the old oil pipelines so now they are rusted and corroded. Oil spills are almost a daily occurrence. The pipelines are close to residential areas, schools, etc. There are many people who literally step out of their front door and have to cross five pipelines. When oil spills, the community sends letters, tells the company and it takes months and even years before they "clean" it. Mostly they hire local boys who dig pits to drain the oil into. There are big, unlined open oil pits that just sit there. Or they burn it, or sprinkle dirt on it and call it clean. All the trees die in the area. The oil spills into creeks and fish ponds. Each fish tastes like oil from the river.
Have you heard about the recent oil spill here in the Gulf Coast?
Yes, and I can't believe the outcry. I first saw a reporter on CNN. He filled a bottle with oil water to show how bad it was. And it is bad, but it is nothing compared to the Niger Delta. You don't find water at all when you stick a bottle down. It is all oil. Every day we have oil spills.
The True Cost of Chevron report reveals that Chevron engages in gas flaring, the burning of associated gas that comes out of the ground when oil is extracted. Chevron is among the worst offenders in Nigeria, flaring over 64% of its gas in 2008.
Can you tell me a bit about the gas flaring?
As children we would see the flaring but we didn't understand it was from oil and gas activities. We called it the 'Big Fire.' Now, we understand that it destroys our farmlands and our rivers and our creeks. It causes skin problems and corrodes our roofs. As children we loved dancing in the rain but now it's all acid rain. The gas flaring is illegal but the companies like Chevron do it anyway and then just pay a small fine. People inhale it everyday and it makes us very sick.
What are the health impacts of the oil spills and gas flaring?
There is lots of cancer. A lot of miscarriages among the women and the men become sterile. Deformed babies, stillbirths, and chronic bronchitis.
How did you get involved in this issue?
I started out as a human rights activist. It is difficult to do human rights work in the Niger Delta with getting involved fighting oil companies. Oil and gas companies was the most basic problem for people in every village I visited. The oil activities have taken away our self-sufficiency. Also, Chevron and the other oil companies divide our communities. They give money and weapons to instigate conflict, because when people are fighting they don't pay attention as much to what the companies are doing. They also attack and suppress the people when we unite and make demands of the company.
What will you say to Chevron at the shareholder meeting next week in Houston?
I have a lot of things to say to the company but it's hard because they only give me 1-2 minutes to speak. I will project the voices of the community women who are feeling the impacts of Chevron's activities on their communities. I will tell Chevron that people have not gained anything. Their activities do not translate into benefits. We lack food and education. Rather, our moral fiber has been destroyed.
Emem Okon is one of nearly 40 people from around the globe who will be in Houston next week. This is the first in a series of 'City Brights' interviews I will conduct with people who are traveling from around the globe for Chevron's annual shareholder meeting. Tune in next week for more of their stories.

Got new computers at work and at home, nothing too special - Dell 1.6ghz P4's. They came with XP - so far it seems okay. I'm afraid I find it a little unnerving when it does things like set up new hardware without telling me. What was that Niven quote? Something like "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". I put 512mb of memory and an 80gb hard drive in my work machine - I'm planning to put VMware on it so I can test Suneido on different versions of Windows (and also run Linux). I still have some issues that only seem to surface on Win98 (which also happens to be the most common version right now, unfortunately). I only put 256mb and a 20gb drive in the home machine. I'd tell you these numbers boggle my mind but that would date me.
I also finally took the plunge and installed a Linksys wireless access point switch to connect my notebook and desktop at home. Only just installed it last night, but it seems to work pretty slick. Finally I can access the internet and print from couch :-) Of course, one of the reasons I prefered to use my notebook at home was because it was faster than the desktop - that situation is now reversed.
I've been pretty frustrated lately because I don't seem to be spending any time on "real" work. I've been trying to hire a programmer and a customer support person and we got a big pile of resumes this time. Even after weeding out the obvious rejects, we still had about 40 interviews to do. Pretty hard to get anything done in between interviews. And of course, switching computers at work and home is also time consuming. Hopefully things will settle down a bit in the next week or two!

The Boards
Starboard Kode 94 WoodCarbon – WIND Test Special 2011
Consistent and accessible: guaranteed value
Shape: The Kode stands at eight sizes, from the 68 up to 123 liters. The 94, 86 and 103 are half-way between freestyle and wave with a little more width for more "pop" in your jumps and freestyle tricks. The 94 and 103 have a new shape featuring a mildly reduced tail. These models are available in three constructions; WoodCarbon, Wood or Technora.
On the water: Starboard has adopted a new 10mm thick pad glued to its EVA surface, resulting in a very high degree of comfort. The Kode will start planing by itself with a nice natural glide, inviting you to put more pressure on the back foot and fin. Whatever your level of riding is, it will come easy on all tacks. The Kode stays close to the water without biting down on a straight line. And with an excellent upwind angle, the Kode competes equally on speed with the rest of the panel. In high-wind conditions the Kode can get a little shaky, but things never get out of control. In the waves and bump & jump conditions, the Kode is at ease because of its shock-absorbing pads, facilitating control. When wave-riding, the Kode its playfulness and edgy bite come into play. It's not super radical, but it allows the rider to pull of beautiful front- and backside turns on its reduced tail. Accelerating or making your way between two waves is no problem due to its responsiveness and mobility. It's a playful freewaver that loves to jump and move around. Jibes are clean and carved along a simple radius.
Verdict: The Kode 94 is a fantastic, accessible do-it-all board that is extremely comfortable as well. Without being the most radical board in the group, wave excursions are very well possible, especially for beginning wave riders. This board holds an enormous threshold for progression and a wide range of use. Comfort and consistency make this board a winner.
Pros: Well equipped, consistent, accessible, planing take off, wide range of use
Cons: Nothing to report
Weight/Construction: 6.95 kg, WoodCarbon
Shape: V, V double concave, V
Footstraps/Pads: 4 or 3, thick
Position Footstraps: Front 2 inside/outside, back 2 inside/outside
Fin (material/system): 28cm Drake Cross Over CNG G10, US box

Starr examines 'Strategy of Liberalism,' Nov. 7
Posted October 31, 2007; 05:23 p.m.
Princeton scholar Paul Starr, who has written extensively on American society, media, politics and domestic and foreign policy, will explore "The Strategy of Liberalism" in a lecture set for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Starr is the Stuart Professor of Communications and Public Affairs and professor of sociology and public affairs. In his most recent book, "Freedom's Power: The True Force of Liberalism," Starr contends that liberalism in America is under siege while the conservative movement has strengthened. Starr argues that liberalism's basic tenets are deeply rooted in America's traditions and are capable of making the country and the world more free and secure.
In 1990, with Robert Kuttner and Robert Reich, Starr co-founded The American Prospect, a liberal magazine about politics, policy and ideas. In 1984, he received the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction and the Bancroft Prize in American History for his book "The Social Transformation of American Medicine."
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Mirko was a very nice and helpful Host.
Communication and key exchange went flawless and he was glad to help with any questions.
The apartmant was exactly as described.
It's located directly next to Wenceslas square and therefore perfect to explore the beautiful city from there.
Due to new soundproof windows and the apartment heading to a backyard it is despite the central location still very quiet in the nights and you can easily get some rest for the next day.
Overall it was a very nice trip and if you want to visit Prague i would recommend considering this offer!
Location is perfect! Flat is very confortable and beautiful. Mirko is a very good host, he provided map and suggestions which are very helpful for our travel. I will strong recommend Mirko's apartment to all of my friends who are going to Prague!!
Mirko is a very friendly person who gave us a lot of hints which were very helpful. The flat is located in a very central area close to the wenzelsplatz. It was very clean and well furnished. We would highly recommend that flat and Mirko as the owner!
Mirko is a great host, very accommodating. Apartment was just as advertised. Very central location. Close to all major attractions.
My vacation in Prague became especially fantastic memories anyway. This apartment is in quiet location and close to center and metro,clean and nice room. Mirko and his colleague have very kindly character,so I was really comfortable.I will choose his room next time too.I can recommend this room,but he showed his other room,also very nice.I recommend his all room too!!!
Very good location, you can leave your bags after check out. When you next visit to Prague we will consider these apartments again.

If those collective behaviors inspired and demanded by the cinema of its witnesses are, in essence, its very boundaries, Belgian-born filmmaker and video artist Chantal Akerman could be considered a smuggler — stealing the visual vernacular and experiential physics of the movies and repurposing them into wholly and newly spatialized forms. Sound like fun?
This week, the first museum survey exhibition of Akerman's work comes to the MIT List Visual Arts Center, and as nondescript as the title "Moving Through Time and Space" might appear, it provides a solid theoretical foundation from which to approach the often unsure footing of her work. Conceived somewhere between the poles of the cinema and the ever-burgeoning field of video installation, her work has the benefit of many familiar canonical reference points to help you keep your bearings: the inter-subjectivity of Dan Graham, the epic structuralism of Michael Snow, the filmic portraiture of Cindy Sherman. Still, it's Akerman's knack for making strange our engagement with time and space (or, loosely transposed, film and visual art) that makes this collection of works a must-see.
Not to mention a must-stay.
"When you see Akerman's films, they are demanding in a very particular way," List curator Bill Arning tells me. "There may, for instance, be a shot that's held long enough to lead to very uncomfortable feelings. She's even been called violent — and yes, there is a degree to which she takes control of your time, and it is aggressive."
Of course, Akerman's aggression isn't reliant on her viewers' passivity — if anything, the works require (or, at least, deserve) an atypically active approach to viewership. The two single-channel pieces, Sud|South (1999) and Lá-bas|Down There (2006), run more than an hour each; they'll be shown according to posted start times at 90-minute intervals. Although you certainly have the option of strolling unfettered through each one at your leisure — as you might with the multi-channel works (D'est: Au bord de la fiction|From the East: Bordering on Fiction, 1995; De l'autre côté |From the Other Side, 2002; and Femmes d'Anvers en novembre|Women of Antwerp in November, 2007), this isn't about your leisure. The selection, arrangement, and timing of these pieces is such that the dedicated and/or curious can enjoy a meaningful experience of the entire show in three hours — and Akerman has made single films longer than that.

Unidentified Slytherin girl (I)
this wiki
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
This girl attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was Sorted into Slytherin House. She was a member of the short-lived Inquisitorial Squad in early 1996.
1995–1996 school yearEdit
In the spring of 1996, she was one of the members of the Inquisitorial Squad, formed by then-Headmistress Dolores Umbridge. She was one of the students that saw Fred and George Weasley flying away from school. At the end of the school year, the Inquisitorial Squad was disbanded after Albus Dumbledore returned.
Behind the scenesEdit
- She is portrayed in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by Gemma Boyle.
- She is a student in the same year as Harry Potter, since she was taking the O.W.L. examinations at the same time.
- She may possibly be Daphne Greengrass because she is in the same year as Harry Potter and since she is a member of the Inquisitorial Squad.
- She may also be Tracey Davis, Sally-Anne Perks, Sophie Roper, Runcorn, Sally Smith, or Lily Moon.
- She may even be Millicent Bulstrode as Millicent was also in Harry's year and a member of the Inquisitorial Squad.

text: The park setting of the antiquities at this site, which Herod the Great named Antipatris after his father, is perfect for a combined picnic and Bible-study.East of Tel Aviv, it may be considered off the beaten track site today, but in Bible times it straddled the ancient Via Maris highway and guarded the headwaters of the Yarkon River. Ancient cities lie beneath its sixteenth-century fortress, including Aphek, mentioned in Joshua's conquest (Josh. 12:18). The Israelites later lost the Ark to the Philistines in battle here (1 Sam. 4:1-18).The view from the fortress walls includes the Yarkon springs and the excavations of the Roman city, built by Herod in 9 BC. Later, Paul was brought here under Roman guard on his way to Caesarea (Acts 23:31). In addition to archaeology and history, the natural world around the springs makes Antipatris-Aphek a prime outdoor classroom for the Israeli schoolchildren visitors enjoy encountering.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
The extraordinary exhibition designed by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, with the special collaboration of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, will be hosted at the Palazzo Ducale from 24th April to 18th August 2013.
In particular, it will be exciting to see Manet's overwhelming Olympia (1867) – a picture which is leaving France for the first time – next to the sublime Venus of Urbino by Titian (1538), exceptionally loaned by the Uffizi Gallery: this was the picture Manet admired in Florence and which gave him the inspiration for his brazen femme de plaisir.
The exhibition will offer a "historic" comparison between two different examples of "modernity", between two universal art icons.
The 80 works in the exhibition will investigate the Italian soul of Édouard Manet's painting, who boldly explores the contemporary instances and opens the way to Impressionism.
The colors, the modernity, the spirit of the great French painter will be read back through the models of Italian Renaissance painting, from which Manet was influenced during two trips to the Venetian, in 1853 and in 1874.
In the exhibition you can admire, next to the artist's masterpieces, some exceptional works inspired by the great sixteenth-century Venetian tableaux, as Titian, Tintoretto and Lotto. The influence of Venice immediately emerges, and is inseparable from the boldness with which the painter probed contemporary art and moved away from academic convention. It will explore these ties and this passion through an extraordinary nucleus of the artist's works, enabling a series of direct comparisons never before possible, and finally shedding some light on the close tie Manet had with Italy and Venice.
A new focus on contemporary languages alongside the International Biennal of Art.
Enjoy your visit!
Palazzo Ducale, St Mark Square - from April 24 to August 18.
From Sunday to Thursday from 9.00am to 7.00pm.
Fridays and Saturdays from 9.00am to 8.00pm
Full price € 13.00 – Reduced price € 11.00

I cannot understand the 'SOAP and Security' discussion. Of course you can use SOAP with HTTP as transport to get through a firewall and it's stupid to make such a fuss about it. When you allow a system behind a firewall to communicate with arbitrary systems outside of the protected network, you can not limit its communication. SOAP just makes it easier for the average programmer to do this, but you can achieve the same thing with REST, emails or even DNS. A firewall may make it a little bit more inconvenient for a user to connect to the outside, for example you can prevent them from using Real Audio apps by blocking the appropriate ports. But if they really want to, they can - theoretically - stream the data over an DNS tunnel.
Beside monitoring, the only good reasons for a firewall are to
- block incoming connections to some or maybe even all ports, in order to prevent access to systems and/or protocols that the admin does not want to expose (e.g. X11, NFS, printers).
- in the case of application firewalls: make sure that no currupted data is sent, to exploit things like buffer overflows, and maybe to limit the capabilities of the protocol. For example an application firewall could prevent POST requests in HTML. This could be used to 'cripple' the server and turn off unused functionality that may be exploited otherwise. It's just another form of risc reduction.
- Block outgoing connections to ports, in order make it
inconvenient for users in the secure net to use certain
apps. This is more about telling users what they are allowed
than actually preventing it, unless you block all ports.
SOAP itself is not dangerous, and the code that handles SOAP requests is not more dangerous than any CGI script. The input and output just have a more restricted form which should make it rather more secure.
krfb/krdc: After the failure of the windows vncviewer port attempt I tried to port the UNIX vncviewer, with much more success. The thing, now called 'KDE Remote Desktop Connection' or krdc, is not very far from being complete. I am currently working on the fullscreen mode...

We were lucky enough to see Oscar Pistorius break a world record in the Olympic Park stadium on Saturday evening and it was an experience the children won't ever forget. I think the technology makes many Paralympic events faster, more extraordinary and more exciting.
Dickon Ross
Editor-in-Chief, E&T
05 September 2012 10:55 AM
I think this is an interesting debate, whether Paralympians have an advantage over able bodied athletes because their prosthetics are believed to be superior to human bone and tissue, essentially making them part human, part machine.
Richard Hirons is a clinical specialist at Ossur, the company that made Pistorius' blades. We interviewed him for our feature on paralympic technology in our most recent issue. He says that primarily the only role of a prosthesis, sporting or otherwise, is to minimise the disadvantage, which some critics seem to forget is as severe as it is. Amputee athletes are missing the majority of a limb, which causes all sorts of balance, pressure and friction issues on the remaining stump. All these factors combined mean that it is debatable that blade-wearing athletes are currently at more of a sporting advantage than a regular athlete.
"I don't think the question of disadvantage or advantage is itself is right. We only see the likes of Oscar Pistorious on the start line, we don't see him having a shower, getting down stairs, walking down ramps, carrying his belongings to the track, we don't see him navigating his way around the Olympic village and as an amputee those things are quite difficult. The training regimes for these athletes, such as pressing weights on parts of the body that are not designed for weights, we don't even think about.
Then when it comes to the start line; is it raining, is it windy, it is the 200m or 400m with various bends? These are all sorts of factors that unless you're an amputee and you have to wear prosthesis, are overlooked. These are the disadvantages of wearing a prosthesis, which are rebalanced rather than giving an extra advantage. It's not just about running down the track.
It is a compromise wearing prosthesis. Whether it's over the same distance or same time it takes extra effort, extra energy for those people than it would take your or I to do something.
Inherently, prosthesis is not a natural thing to be wearing; they fit on parts of your body that are not biologically designed to take weight. The person wearing it wants higher demand from it that our muscles would normally cope with, but as an amputee they can't because the muscle and bone is not there.
The problem is also that there are so many distinct phases to an athlete's performance, for example the sprint. From the gun going to crossing the finishing line, you accelerate from the block, you're then upright and through your drive phase, through to the cruise and then there's a dip at the end. These movements are all for anatomical structures; our bones and our muscles that will have to adapt to these changing circumstances, whereas a man-made prosthetic foot will not and can not. Unlike a human foot it may be optimised for one part of the sprint, but for the whole of the movement it cannot. You can make the best representation of a human foot, but in reality an athlete is just choosing from a range of standard items."
05 September 2012 11:55 AM
The outburst that came from Oscar Pistorius moments after crossing the finishing line behind Brazil's Alan Oliveira in the 200m at the weekend smacks of both hypocrisy and disrespect. The South African alleged that his opponent's prosthetics had artificially lengthened his stride, giving him an unfair advantage.
However with that assertion Pistorius, who runs against able-bodied athletes and competed in last month's Olympics, had damaged his argument that his prosthetics do not give him an advantage. In short he is suggesting that having the scope to lengthen the legs is not fair, an argument that has been thrown at him on many occasion by able-bodied athletes who, without the aid of prosthetics. He is now in a difficult place and can't have it both ways.'
That aside academics have been quick to defend the Brazilians victory. According to professor Steve Haake of Sheffield Hallam University stride length and the size of his prosthetics were not the deciding factors in the result.
"The practical outcome of larger blades is a greater stride length, assuming you turn over your legs at the same rate,'' he said. "But to do that, the mass of the legs needs to be smaller. It is called the conservation of angular momentum.
"Imagine the experiment when you spin someone round on an office chair with their arms outstretched. If they bring their arms in, they speed up. It is the same effect with athletes' prosthetics. When the mass is closer to the centre they are easier to spin.
"Just making the legs longer, therefore, doesn't necessarily make Oliveira quicker ... In any case, if you look at Oliveira, he actually took more strides, which means a shorter stride length. It was that that won him the race.''

Ultimately, surely, the developments being made for the althletes help others with disablities.
05 September 2012 04:09 PM
Certainly there have been some stunning advances in prosthetics to enable paralympians to achieve some of the massive goals that they have. However, these "tools" - for that IS what they are - should and ultimately must be controlled in the same manner that "tools" such as pole jumping poles are controlled. Some such as prosthetics cannot be a fixed length, but would have to be a fixed ratial length for total fairness in competition.
05 September 2012 04:15 PM
Some such as prosthetics cannot be a fixed length, but would have to be a fixed ratial length for total fairness in competition.
As I understand it, for runners they calculate what the athlete's height would be if they didn't need prostheses, based on two different measurements of their arm (elbow to wrist and centre of chest to the tip of the middle finger), and then the prosthesis is not allowed to make them more than (if I recall the figure correctly) 4% taller than this nominal equivalent height.
Ian Gordon, FSS MIET CITP MBCS CMat MIMA MIAP
05 September 2012 04:22 PM
The, possibly, trite but never the less true response to do prothetics give an advantage is to ask how many able bodied athletes are currently asking for amputations so they can take advantage of prosthetics? These people are dedicating their lives, their bosies, their minds, their diets and many hours each week to shaving seconds or even fractions of seconds off their times or add centimetres to their throws and jumps. They suffer injuries and pain in search of that gold medal or world record. They are totally focused in a way most people will never understand. If there was a measurable advantage to using prosthetics over their natural body then they would at least want to investigate it.
The issues raised by Oscar Pistorius could be relevant. Longer strides will generally translate to faster pace so if a double amputee who would normally have say a 32 inch inside leg, were it not for their amputation, has longer prosthetics which give them the equivalent of a 37 inch inside leg then that gives them (if I'm remembering the math right) a stride around 15% longer. That really only leaves a question of how much the additional power required to move the 'foot' the extra distance will offset the speed advantage. Where this is likely to cause an issue is where you have double amputees (who can take advantage of this) running against single amputees who can only use prosthetics that give them the same inside leg as their natural leg.
05 September 2012 04:35 PM
Couple of quick points (before I go back to job-hunting) to fill in some information.
Firstly, Oscar Pistorius is allowed to be 1935mm tall including his prostheses, but currently chooses to stand 1845mm, compared with a rule-based limit of 1845mm for Oliveira, who chooses to stand 1810mm tall including his prostheses (both limits based on the arm measurement standard I referred to earlier).
Secondly, the length of the natural leg is not taken into account for the prosthesis measurement limits for a single amputee.
Thirdly, the reason the prosthesis limit is slightly more than the calculated "natural, non-amputee" leg length is partly because runners typically run on their toes not flat-footed and partly because body shapes - and hence leg-length-to-other-body-measurement ratios - vary somewhat from person to person.

Secondly, the length of the natural leg is not taken into account for the prosthesis measurement limits for a single amputee.
I was basing my comment about single amputees having to use prosthetics that give them the same inside leg as on their natural leg on the fact that they will need to be balanced to get optimum performance. Someone with a 32 inch natural inside leg would have problems with stability if the prosthetic didn't also give an equivalent of a 32 inch inside leg.

I now can't find where I originally read it, but I am reasonably confident that they said it was common for the (single amputee) athlete to choose to have a prosthesis that didn't match their natural leg length.

Ultimately, surely, the developments being made for the althletes help others with disablities.
This is the case in many areas of life; the top end performance technology is flown down to other users, such as Sports, Aviation, Cars, Space travel etc.
It can be seen from the sprint starts that the longer blade users have difficulty coming out of the blocks, but once up and running they cover the ground very quickly, have a look at Oscar P 100m qualifier and this can be seen. So the supposed advantage would be seen more over longer distances.
Oscar went through a very rigorous process to prove he had no advantage over an abled bodied athlete, so is probably more in tune with the actual difference of different sized blades.
So for fairness yes look at the rules and see if they need to be revised, as the equipment is supposed to allow them to perform to their best on a level playing field, if the levelness of the playing field can be tampered with to gain an advantage regardless how small, it should be reviewed, has personal effort, hope and glory can be taken away in a split second.
I suppose one experiment Oscar could submit himself to would be to practice with his max height blades allowed under current rules and ask some of the max height blade wearers to reduce the height of the blades, and see what the actual timed results would show compared to their previous times. As those that live in the real world know regardless of the math's and computer analysis conducted only a real world test will show the true answer as there are too many individual variations to an athlete's performance, not just the blades?
Another issue with the advance of technology and fairness of playing field is with global sports events some athlete's do not have access to top class equipment, it is not just a case of giving everyone the same, one of the commentators said he was part of a Canadian team trying to help South American disable athlete's they found if they gave them top class equipment, they were attacked and the equipment stolen, so they had to give them good quality but not top of the range equipment for the athlete's own safety.

Just to clarift the IPC's rules. According to Peter Van de Vliet, the IPC's medical and scientific director Prostheses are adaptive equipment that are designed to restore a loss of function, not artificially enhance body length or performance. As its rules make clear, the IPC is committed to preventing the use of prostheses that lead to an unrealistic enhancement of stride length.
Since 2007, the IPC has used a formula to calculate the permitted length of prostheses for its athletes. For double amputees such as Pistorius and Oliveira, this is based on measuring each athlete's body and arm span, and using this data to estimate their overall height if they had legs. Athletes are allowed prosthetic limbs and feet that make them up to 3.5% taller than their estimated height including the blade at the end of their prosthesis. Many able-bodied athletes are unusually long-limbed and this margin allows for natural variations in body types as well as the fact that athletes stand taller - on their toes - when they run.
Until this week there has not been even a hint of controversy around this formula. Athletes are routinely measured to check they are within the regulations, and to my knowledge there has never been a complaint about the current system.
Pistorius runs at 1845mm but could under the IPC rules extend his prosthesis so he would stand 1935mm tall. For all the controversy over Oliveira's apparently height-enhancing prostheses, the Brazilian is not pushing at the upper limit of the IPC's rules. He now runs at 1810mm, but could still extend to 1845mm under the IPC's formula.

The junk-bond market keeps looking more and more overbought, but that doesn't mean it can't get yet more overbought. That's essentially the logic that has prevailed for at least the past year, and it could propel the market for the remainder of this year, as JP Morgan strategists write in their latest weekly note:
Our inclination is to believe that the economy and data will remain stagnant, just as it has over the past three years, and that the rise in Treasury yields will remain measured. If correct the backdrop should continue to support demand for high yield on a medium-term basis. That said, levels across fixed income reached extreme levels after the recent rally, particularly in high-yield, and the slight shift in market tone is likely to lead to higher yields within the asset class in the very near-term. However, we continue to view the fundamental and relative value equation as significantly in favor of high yield for the balance of the year. For high yield, we see modest upside to our original full-year return forecast of 7-8% (9-10% possible) versus YTD returns of 6.0%. As for leveraged loans, we reiterate our 5-6% return forecast versus 3.2% YTD.

Editors think twice, reporters do not dig deeply, columnists choose words carefully. By Jean-Paul Marthoz
Police detained freelance reporter Moctar Barry on November 15, 2012, in the central town of Sévaré, after he returned from reporting on events in Gao, an Islamist-occupied city in the northern half of Mali, local journalists said.
New York, December 5, 2012--Malian authorities should immediately return the passports and equipment seized from two international Al-Jazeera journalists who were detained for more than two days over the weekend for attempting to cross into militant-controlled territory, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

At least five radio stations were attacked in March 2012 as Tuareg separatists, allied with extremist Islamist militants, pushed the Malian army back from the northeastern region of Gao, according to news reports.
Two officials of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), a Salafist militant group affiliated with Al-Qaeda, raided the studios of Radio Annya in the northeastern town of Gao on August 20, 2012, according to the BBC.
Rebel fighters of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), a separatist movement of ethnic Tuaregs in northern Mali, stormed the offices of private Radio Adar Khoïma in the northeastern town of Gao on April 3, 2012, according to local journalists and news reports. The rebels kidnapped a journalist and assaulted him, and forced the station off the air for 72 hours, the sources said.

Elastic Oz Band
"Every major country has a screw in its side, and in England it's Oz." So ran Apple's press ad for 'God Save Us'. "Oz," the ad explained, "is England's foremost underground newspaper. Oz is on trial for its life." This was the famous Oz obscenity court case of 1971. As a fundraiser for the defence, John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote 'God Save Us', which was issued under the ad-hoc name of the Elastic Oz Band.

Reading Dijkstra's obituary, I realized that I've always viscerally thought of structured programming as a concept which has always existed, and always been obvious. In fact it was a great triumph of engineering, and one created within my grandparents's lifetime.
My own method of programming is such that I cannot fathom writing code without having a proof of correctness in mind. Prove first, then type. Unfortunately programmers seem to fall clearly into one of two categories - those who can't program without thinking about proofs of correctness, and those who can't think about correctness proofs at all. Sadly, the second type seems to be dominant, with disastrous consequences for code quality.
Interestingly, Dijkstra mentioned at the end of note 1308 that the phrase 'considered harmful' was coined by Niklaus Wirth.
Continue Not Harmful
Many people incorrectly take the problems with gotos to mean they should avoid other advanced control flow structures, these include -
- break
- continue
- return (from the middle of a function)
- while true (implicitly using one of the above)
- for/else (a pythonism, else is executed if no break happened)
- finally
All of the above except finally are completely sound control-flow techniques, and you should use them whenever it results in more concise code.
The unifying abstraction to all of them is that each execution point in the program has an expected state of the call stack, so to go there you pop your own state off the stack, then push expected state (an exception or return values) back onto the stack, and then jump.
Exceptions are interesting because they decide how far back to pop the stack dynamically. The way most languages conflate exception identification with the class hierarchy is kind of a hack, but works acceptably.
'Finally', on the other hand, is a conceptual mess. I pity anyone stuck debugging memory leaks in a non-garbage-collected language which are triggered by a finally clause raising an exception of its own.
Golomb Rulers
The exhaustive search algorithm which ogr uses can probably be improved a lot. In essence, it recursively starts with a ruler with some positions marked and some positions consequently ruled out, and branches on whether or not a given position is marked.
The technique it uses for picking which position to branch on is to pick the smallest available one, which is awful. In general, we wish to branch on a spot which is likely to be proven to not lead to a solution as quickly as possible. Always using the least available position causes positions towards the beginning to be ruled out redundantly and positions towards the end not to be ruled out until very late. In particular, none of the positions in the last third will be ruled out until a position is marked outside of the first third.
Better techniques include picking the position which rules out the most available spots, and picking one (pseudo)randomly. These techniques carry significant overhead, so it probably makes sense to branch on the last few marks by picking least available, but they are clearly warranted for the first few marks.
Unfortunately, the last few exhaustive searches for optimal golomb rulers have just verified the previously known best solutions. Ah well.
Ceci n'est pas une Pipe
fxn: I am using the word interpretation for what it means in english, a meaning it has had since long before it was ever used in mathematics. The value 1 + 1 + 1 in PA, viewed completely abstractly, has no more to do with our concept of 'three' than it does with the planet mars. Only with interpretation does the statement 1 + 1 + 1 = three have meaning.
I'm of the opinion that the natural numbers are the main impetus for trying to make mathematics formal in the first place. Every time a new basis for mathematics is devised, the very first thing which is done with it is to build the natural numbers. Mathematics is a slave to our concept of the naturals, not the other way around. On the other hand, there is no generally agreed upon interpretation of the statement the real numbers are compact, and that disturbing problem lies in the dark corners of even such mundane subjects as high school geometry.
I have a confession to make. I don't really believe in anything other than PA. My interest in foundations of mathematics is mostly a morbid fascination with the possibility that important new results will strongly depend on large cardinal axioms or worse. I don't really even believe in Goodstein's theorem. Sure, I'll happily talk about it as if it's true while sitting in the safety of my own home, but if I had the opportunity to take a joyride in a spaceship whose engineering soundness I had full confidence in except that it depended on Goodstein's theorem to not go spinning out of control, my feet would remain firmly planted on the ground, thankyouverymuch.
I do, however, believe in the planet Mars. I would even go so far as to say that it exists.
I said a boom-chika-boom
Chicago: The order in which explosions are done does not, in fact, matter. Proving the following is an interesting exercise -
- A never-ending explosion must take control of the entire board.
- It is impossible for the entire board to be filled with pieces of one side and it be the other side's turn (this would result in there being no legal move).
I could add logins and rating and other games and such to my Boom Boom implementation reasonably easily, but have decided not to. That could easily become a time pit, and there are already underutilized games servers on the net. For example, there's the excellent Newton Games, which includes my favorite game, hex.
With regards to angel vs. devil, I haven't come up with any strategies for the devil which go much beyond the ones given in winning ways, which show that, for example, the devil can force the angel to make a single turn which involves moving downwards.

The Baltics are amazingly flat. I think the highest peak is just about 320m. The map marks anything over 90m, which just goes to show. Most rivers flow so slowly across these slopeless plains, that many national parks are lakes and wetlands.
Consequently, it is fairly amazing that the river Jagala actually has an 8m drop in its limestone bed. The water thunders down, brown and churned, with white, foamy spray. You can see rainbows in the spray, which is kind of cool.
The waterfall is unsignposted, and maybe half a dozen other people had managed to find it while we were there. Given its reclusive spot, we wondered how many other English people have seen it. Not all that many, I'd guess, despite it being less than 20 miles from Tallinn.
At this point, Eartha's front tooth fell out and she lisped for the rest of the day.

Dear RobJon,
The Bonaventure in early September can be grand. It's a good idea to prepare for a wide range of water conditions and salmon taking behavior.
For medium to low water, bring the usual complement of small (sz. #6-10) wet flies in the usual patterns: Ruelland Special, Green Stonefly, Pompier, Black Bear Green Butt, Black Ghost, Undertaker.
Don't forget to also bring some big stuff: #2 Muddlers, Popsicle-style flies, large streamers (you can get some high water in September). The salmon also begin to respond well to larger flies again about this time.
Try the "E" Sector, limited to 4 rods. I've had great fishing there in September. Tight lines, TB
Bonaventure in September
I am planning a trip with my wife the first week of September. I was wondering if maybe Topher or Brian or anyone else in the know can offer up a couple of suggestions for patterns and fly size for this time of year. The trip/vacation will only allow me to fish a couple of days so I would like to do all that is possible to improve my chances. I fished this river in June of 1997, the numbers were low but we caught just the same, have the numbers increased or decreased over the past few years?
Thanks for all your input.

Human Rights Issues
Prisoners and People at Risk
Prisoners and people at risk are those whose human rights have been violated or are under threat of violation.
Poverty and Human Rights
Everyone, everywhere has the right to live with dignity. That means that no one should be denied their rights to adequate housing, food, water and sanitation, and to education and health care.
Death Penalty
The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights. It is the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state.
Security and Human Rights
Amnesty International insists that states must respect human rights in any actions they take in the name of national security or countering terrorism.
Refugee and Migrant Rights
Every day across the world refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons make the difficult decision to leave their homes.
Torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment must stop. Those responsible for authorizing it must be held accountable.
Women's Rights
Living free from violence is a human right. Yet millions of women and girls around the world encounter rape, domestic abuse, mutilation and other forms of gender-based violence.
Children's Rights
Across the world, children are denied their human rights. They miss out on their right to education. They are abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the street. They are recruited into armed forces. They are subjected to the death penalty and suffer many other forms of violence.
Censorship and Free Speech
Everyone has the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas without fear or interference.
Business and Human Rights
Privatization and economic globalization have given companies unprecedented access to new territories, and expanded their reach across national borders.
LGBT Rights
All people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity should enjoy equal human rights.
Military, Police and Arms
By encouraging governments to act responsibly in this area, Amnesty International USA seeks to prevent or minimize violations or abuses of humanitarian and human rights law.
International Justice
International justice is the cooperation between countries to hold accountable individuals accused of grave human rights abuses, such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Christalmighty, are you in grad school or something?
VOR I welcome you with open arms into the loving arms of classical liberalism. It's gonna hurt, but you'll thank me later bitch.
Did you go to Google U?
quote:It's time we humans evolve to the level of tree snails and fungi.
The grandeur of the National Mall is rightly famous. Less well known are the hermaphroditic sex lives of many of its inhabitants. Japanese cherry trees break bud in explosions of pink; male and female coexist at the heart of each flower. The American elms that frame the Mall's lawns present a more reserved countenance to the world. But their inconspicuous lime-green flowers are biologically bisexual. Ginkgo, another tree common in Washington, follows a Prop 8-approved sexual separation, growing as discrete males and females. But even the ginkgo will sometimes surprise horticulturalists with a stray flower of the other sex.
An inspection of the bark of these trees reveals garden snails grazing on thin, vertical lawns of lichens, yeasts and algae. Like the trees, each sexually mature snail makes both egg and sperm. Mating among these gastropods is charged with romantic tension; two males and two females are caught up in every embrace. Downstream from the Mall, at the outlet of the Potomac, marine snails called slipper shells add yet another twist: they begin life as males, before maturing into females.
The snails on the trees graze on fungi that further enrich the Mall's sexual diversity. Fungi don't have "sexes," as most humans understand the term. Subtle chemical markers on each fungal cell divide the species into "mating types." In some species, dozens of such types occur. Some of these fungal cells — like the slipper shells — can't resist the itch to switch types.
So you really don't know what classical liberalism is?
yes, "his" word which was written by man....
Just like the science books and journals you believe in so much
Some people honestly believe that it was written by god and never had the critical thinking skills (shocker) to figure their way out of that trap.
you can't help but force your belief upon others and ostracize those who believe differently.
You can't be serious
I don't see anyone of your ilk complaining when our children are forced to learn about homosexual behavior in our schools. Or when school administrators punish our children for speaking out against homosexuality
