Dallas 42, Detroit 21: Looking Elite
Several versions of the Cowboys during the 2000s had a habit of falling apart during the month of December.
Anyone with a memory of that decade will remember the 8-4 start in 2006 that disintegrated into a 9-7 finish.
The 8-4 start in 2008? Yep, another 9-7 finish.
In between those seasons was 2007, when the Cowboys raced to 12-1 start. However, the Cowboys struggled against the Detroit Lions and wound up losing two of the final three to end the season with a 13-3 record and little momentum. Despite having the best record in the NFC, Dallas lost to the Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs.
So when this year's version of the Cowboys lost to the Giants on December 11, many of us started to worry. The Cowboys' performance against Tampa Bay did not resolve our concerns, given that the Cowboys blew a 17-6 halftime lead.
Thankfully, the Cowboys did not need to do more than that to win the NFC East, because Philadelphia's 24-19 win over the Giants ensured that Dallas would have the #1 seed in the NFC.
Dallas could have rested its starters or not taken Monday's game against the Lions seriously. Of the two teams, Detroit actually had more to play for, given that a win over the Cowboys would have guaranteed a playoff spot for the Lions.
Instead, Dallas looked like the best team in the NFC. Despite giving up 21 first-half points, along with too many big plays by a running back named Zack Zenner, the Cowboys looked sharp on offense and turned up the intensity in what turned out to be a 42-21 romp of the Lions.
Dak Prescott was nearly flawless all night. He completed 15 of 20 passes for 212 yards and three touchdowns for a rating of 148.3 (along with a QBR rating of 94.4). Prescott will not beat Tony Romo's 113.2 passer rating from 2014, but the rookie QB's rating of 105.6 is better than any other rating in team history, including Roger Staubach's 104.8 rating during the team's first Super Bowl season in 1971.
Ezekiel Elliott only managed 80 yards, but he still managed two touchdowns, including a 55-yarder in the first quarter.
The receiver named Dez Bryant? He caught two touchdown passes and threw for a third.
The Dallas defense? Despite giving up some longer runs to Zenner in the first half, the defense forced two turnovers and sacked Matthew Stafford four times.
The result? The Cowboys played like the best team in the NFC. They close their season at Philadelphia on Sunday before hosting the division round two weeks later.
It's my blog. Here we are (way up there).
In 1971, the starting defensive line consisted of Bob Lilly, Jethro Pugh, George Andrie, and Larry Cole. I didn't have to look that up.
In 1977, the starting defensive line consisted of Pugh, Randy White, Harvey Martin, and Too Tall Jones. Nope, didn't have to look that up either.
In 1992, the starting defensive line consisted of Charles Haley, Russell Maryland, Tony Casillas, and Tony Tolbert. Didn't have to…you get the picture.
Against the Lions on Monday night, the starting defensive line consisted of Benson Mayowa, Terrell McClain, Maliek Collins, and Jack Crawford, with David Irving and Randy Gregory seeing quite a bit of action.
I was at the game but still had to look that up.

Check out our podcast if you want to hear us talk about it:
The Story:
Nate brings Oliver, Diggle, Sara,and Ray back to the Hall of Justice after dropping Thea at Star City. They then regroup with the rest of the team. Nate shows the Super Friends footage of the Dominators in Redmond, Oregon 1951 and proposes that they abduct one from there. Oliver pulls Kara aside because he wants to limit her involvement as he doesn't know enough about her. Stein, Caitlin and his daughter work together to create a nano weapon to combat the Dominators. He becomes frustrated when he does not know of any memories she is talking about. Stein talks to Caitlin and reveals that he is going to fix whatever it is his younger self did, which would erase his daughter. The team arrive in Redmond, where Nate, Mick and Amaya go to find a Dominator, while Cisco stays with Felicity on the Waverider. Felicity realizes that Cisco wanted to leave 2016 because he wanted to get away from Barry. The three Legends are able to incapacitate a Dominator but as they are about to bring it back to the Waverider they are captured by men in black suits led by an Agent Smith. Cisco and Felicity rush to save the three when they figure out they were taken. The three Legends are locked up with the Dominator but Nate thinks it is the perfect opportunity to interrogate it. It tells them that they are trying to rid the earth of metas. Cisco and Felicity save them and they decide to free the Dominator as well. They stop it from being tortured by Agent Smith and send it back on the Dominator ship they had on the Waverider. They then head back to 2016. The Dominator contacts them and tells them that although he is thankful they saved him, they are still going to destroy the metas. Barry, Oliver, Ray and Sara are confronted by the head of the DOD who is the aged Agent Smith. He tells them that the Dominators see the metas as a threat. The man tells them that Barry was the reason the Dominators returned after he broke the truce the humans had with them. He tells them that the Dominators will leave if they hand over Barry to them. Cisco and Nate vibe to talk to the Dominator they saved. They try to convince it that the metas are actually trying to save the world. It then tells them that they are going to kill all the metas unless they turn Barry over to them. Cisco finally understands what Barry is going through when he realizes that he had changed the timeline when they saved the Dominator. Barry tells them all that he is going to turn himself into the Dominators, but all his friends refuse to let him go through with it. They tell him that they will fight beside him no matter what. Sara and Jax appear and tell them that the Dominator mother ship in Central City has begun to open up. They realize that the Dominators tried to draw attention away from the meta bomb. Cisco and Sara chase after the bomb and try to disable it. The Super Friends fight the Dominators on a rooftop of Central City. Barry Kara plant nano weapons Stein created in each of the Dominators and Felicity activates them. With great effort Firestorm transmutates the meta bomb and all of the Dominators retreat. At the Hall of Justice the Super Friends are honored by the stand in President and they celebrate after. Oliver apologizes to Kara and he shares a group hug with her and Barry. Cisco gives Kara a device which can open breaches so that she can visit their world anytime. Stein talks to Jax about his daughter and has him promise to not say anything. Agent Smith appears and tries to cover up what they had done but changes his tune when Kara talks to him. Kara then says goodbye to everyone and leaves to go back to her world. After The Legends leave to go about their time traveling adventures. Barry apologizes to Diggle once again for erasing Sara and the latter forgives him. Finally, Barry and Oliver share a drink and talk about how much their lives have changed after becoming superheroes.
New Characters/Cameos:
Team Flash and Supergirl: Seeing them three nights in a row (with Kara being in four) just makes us want them to make a Justice League show at the end of all this.
Team Arrow: We wish Thea, Curtis, Rory and Rene could have joined in on the fun, but we guess they weren't ready. Oliver and Diggle handled themselves just fine. Felicity even kicked some ass herself!
Notable Character Interactions:
The Super Friends: Again, Seeing Team #Flash, #Supergirl, Team #Arrow and the #Legends all together for this last part of the crossover was awesome. We thought that because there were so many of them it would be hard to give them all enough screen time, but man were we wrong. We love how everyone had their own little mission leading up to the epic brawl with the Dominators. After Barry found out that he was the cause for the aliens coming to earth, he didn't hesitate to give himself up to them. His friends, even Cisco, decided that they would go down fighting along side him before they let that happen. That whole action sequence of them on the rooftop fighting the Dominators and trying to stop the meta bomb was awesome. After beating the aliens, it was nice seeing them celebrate with one another. This is just the start of their adventures together. Now that Kara has a way to travel to their Earth in the form of a pocket breach courtesy of Cisco, we can't wait to see what happens next! Lastly, we're glad that everyone forgave Barry for his mistakes, especially Cisco. Time to move forward!
Oliver, Barry and Kara: Oliver was back to his moody self at the start of the episode. He decided to let their most powerful weapon against the Dominators sit on the sidelines because he didn't know her well enough. Come on now Oliver, now is not the time for this. He was all about staying behind when everyone turned their backs on Barry, then he went and did the same to Kara. It was funny when Barry pointed out that he knew Oliver said something because Kara was mad and "she never got mad". In the end, he apologized and the #DCTV Trinity shared a superhug.
Nate, Mick, Amaya, Cisco, and Felicity: We finally got to see Citizen Steel and Vixen kick some ass in the crossover. After having to sit on the Waverider for the first two parts, they had the pleasure of abducting an alien along with Rory. Of course things didn't go according to plan and they found themselves having to be rescued by "geeks" as Mick put it. This trip also gave Cisco some clarity as to how hard Barry had it. That his friend was carrying a burden no one else could. He realized first hand how it felt to mess the timeline. Felicity did her part in helping him forgive Barry, so she gets a medal for that.
Caitlin, Stein and his daughter: It was nice of Caitlin to help Stein try to bond with his daughter. The only thing that bothered us about this was the fact that they never revealed her name. Also what the hell happened to Clarissa?! Stein thought about correcting whatever his younger self did to erase his daughter but Caitlin urged him not to. That if he got to know his daughter, he would change his mind. He did in the end, but knowing the way thing work, this is going to bite them all in the ass.
The Action/Favorite Scenes:
Any Gripes: It ended.
Easter Eggs:
Princess Bride: Cisco was pretty pissed when Nate tried to dethrone him as the Pop Culture King.
Stranger Things: In all the chaos Cisco still manages to watch Netflix. He referenced the show when talking to Felicity.
ET: This is what Cisco called the Dominator they saved.
Crisis: The President made This reference. This definitely was a Crisis. But we know there will be an even bigger one down the line having to do with Infinite Earths.
Earth's Mightiest Heroes: Justice League! Assemble! Wait, that doesn't sound right. Kara was right though, they do all make a pretty solid team.
Superman: Ray mentioned to Felicity that Kara looked like his cousin. Brandon South played Superman in the movie Superman Returns. Very funny nod to that.
DEO: Apparently Kara talked to the President about setting up the DEO on their Earth. Oh man.
What's To Come/Theories:
In the preview for next week's mid season finale titled "The Chicago Way" a new aberration is discovered by the Legends, and they find themselves headed to 1927 Chicago. The Legends quickly realize that they have been set up by Eobard, Darhk and the newest member of the Legion of Doom, Malcolm Merlyn. While everyone is trying to help fix what they think is the mission, Jax encourages a reluctant Stein to share his secret with the other Legends. Stein is then taken captive and Sara must make the tough choice of either stopping the Legion of Doom or saving Stein. Meanwhile, Mick gets an unexpected visitor and is not sure how to handle it. So it looks like the Legion is nearly complete. We will finally see Darhk, Eobard, Malcolm and Snart face off against the Legends! We wonder if Mick will go back to his evil ways after meeting with his old friend. We hope not as he's really grown into a hero even if he worn admit it. We're also wondering if Stein keeping his daughter from the team will be a bad thing. It's harsh to call her an abberation, but apparently that's what she is. The only thing that could make a better is if Gorilla Grodd was revealed to be the leader of the Legion.
Final Thoughts:
Wow! Considering how quickly this was all put together, this was by far the most ambitious and most epic crossover to date! They just opened up a whole damn multiverse to explore and makes us love the shows even more. While we wished that the other members of Team #Flash/Team #Arrow would have joined the fight, we understand why they couldn't. They definitely would have killed the budget. Since this is the last episode of the crossover, we will round out how we felt about it all. #Supergirl, while not really part of crossover was a fantastic set up for her to join them. The #Flash brought all the heroes together so well and it brilliantly introduced the Dominators as well as what they were capable of. #Arrow perfectly balanced the fantasy sequence with the alien invasion. Then #Legends brought them all together to make one more epic stand against the invaders. It's an amazing time to be a comic book and superhero fan. Like we said in the previous post, it was like watching a four episode arc of #JusticeLeague Unlimited. Full of action, amazing action sequences, solid story and meaningful character interactions. They know what they are doing with these shows and we can not wait to see what's next! We give The #DCTV Crossover Event "Invasion" 10 Pocket Breaches out of 10! What did you think about the the crossover? Leave it in the comments below, we would love to read them!

Paperback / softback Publication Date: 11/02/2012
Quick reference to Spring Web Services
This book starts with a brief introduction of how the Spring handles Web Services, and follow by various description to configure and build a Web Services in Spring. On top of that, it provides a simple, precise and
working example, while some books lack of those.
There are some basic topics that the author did not cover it, such as manipulating the SOAP Headers, attachment, etc. These may give the book a complete coverage of basic Web Service in Spring.
I would recommend this book for someone who is looking for a quick reference to build Web Service in Spring fast.

If you're a carmaker who's proud of the one-offs you've made as well as the limited versions of your production models, the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show is where you have to be.
For this event that will take place this November in Las Vegas, Toyota has prepared several vehicles, including the Tacoma X-Runner RTR, where RTR stands for Ready to Race.
The pick-up has received major modifications, especially to the powertrain and undercarriage. This model is powered by an i-Force 5.7l V8 engine, which has an output of 504 hp and 550 lb.-ft of torque due to a TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Supercharger Kit.
This unit is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and TRD mechanical limited slip differential. The pickup has been lowered 4.5 inches from the stock X-Runner height.
It now features 15-inch styled steel wheels at the front (wrapped in Goodyear Eagle Front Runners) and 10-inches at the rear, covered in Goodyear Eagle Dragway Specials.
The exterior wasn't changed much but with its lowered ride, the paint scheme and other well placed graphics, this Tacoma is definitely unique.
The interior gets the same customization as the exterior, getting details like "504 HP" graphics and TRD logos. What's interesting is that to reduce the pickup's weight, it had to lose its audio head unit, speakers, air conditioner, power windows, front fog lamps, windshield water bottle, and rear seats.

Here's something else which has been on my mind of late regarding practitioner enquiry that I would like to put out there. I know not everyone will be keen on this idea, but the more practitioners I speak to about it, the more I think it is worth exploring.
To me, there is a continuum to practitioner enquiry. I am still developing as an enquiring practitioner, however through the course of my MEd, my use, and understanding, of enquiry became more sophisticated. I would suggest that I am still learning when it comes to enquiry, and in the years since I graduated I have varied in the extent to which I have used the enquiring skills I have developed thus far, largely due to time.
To me therefore, some sort of progression of enquiry would be useful for teachers to support them to know how to progress as enquiring practitioners. However, I also feel that it would be of value to teachers who are experienced in enquiry to make pragmatic choices when taking an enquiring approach to understanding an aspect of their practice.
I've therefore made an attempt at a first draft of just such a matrix. At any one time, a teacher could be making different progress, or choices, in the different components of enquiry.
What do you think? Would something like this be helpful? If yes, is this the right way of going about it? Can you improve upon this first draft?
There have been a few suggestions for improving on this idea on twitter since I posted this. I thought it might be easier to make an editable version of the matrix which anyone can contribute to. Click here to open the editable version and add your ideas.

Controls / Thermostats
Controls are the new name for what used to be called simply thermostats. The term thermostat just isn't adequate to describe what controls do today. A thermostat simply used to measure the indoor ambient air temperature, and compare that to what the desired air temperature was, and then turn on/off the attached systems when the preset levels were achieved.
Today, those systems do so much more. Depending on the control you select, it still does what you would expect a thermostat to do, but additionally these tasks are available as well:
These smart controls are remarkable. These are just a few of the benefits and capabilities.
Speak with your professional Sales Consultants at Milwaukie Heating & Cooling to find out which controls are a match for you and the system that you choose.

Key to growing spring barley crop is quality, something John Weir, based near Fife, knows only too well. For Mr Weir, achieving the necessary quality, given the weather, can make it quite a challenging crop. He says:
"The weather constantly shifts from wet to dry, dry to wet and so on, which can make it difficult to meet the specifications required for barley. That can lead to rejections, and having to sell the crop on for feed."
Essential to achieving the required quality is protecting the initial stages of the crop, especially against seed and soil borne diseases, a concern for Mr Weir. He adds:
"We treat all our spring barley with Raxil Star [fluopyram, prothioconazole and tebuconazole]. It's the superior treatment of Fusarium that is particularly attractive to us. If we've had a wet harvest, then we need to have an effective control in place to protect the crop for the following year. We farm save Concerto and we find that Raxil Star matches the seed well."

In another life, and another time, the Cardassian Crell Moset–known colloquially as "The Butcher of Bajor"–briefly thinks of his dead daughter before amputating the right arm of a twelve-year-old Bajoran girl without anaesthetic.
In another life, and another time, the Vulcan priestess Variel contemplates nothingness on the slopes of Mount Seleya, and is at peace. Several thousand miles away on the same planet, Dr Taurek calculates that his existence is no longer required, and unceremoniously administers a hypospray full of fast-acting neurotoxin. He is found dead before his medical replicator the next morning.
In another life, and another time, the Ferengi girl Angua stands naked beside her older husband, holding a tray of drinks for their guests, her mind–as always–millions of miles above them, among the stars.
In another life, and another time, the Andorian Maquis agent Ledus zh'Idrani grabs her empty grenade launcher and makes a last run for safety before Cardassian ground troops can reach her. She's been holding the settlement for 48 hours without sleep, and her limbs are tired, and as disruptor fire ricochets off the rocks to either side of her she realises that these are her last free moments before they take her in or kill her.
In another life, and another time, the El-Aurian formerly known as Terkim stands before the council on New Romulus, promising that she will make them gods.
In another life, and another time, the engineer known only as Hammer sits outside his hut on the Australian outback, and does not think about the dreams he has had these past few nights.
In another life, and another time, Admiral Hope Mill sits in her office at the end of a long day, gazing at the map of the Federation still bright on her desk display screen, its borders safe and its people free, for now.
And in another life, Captain Meihong Lin of the USS Nightingale looks into the stars on her bridge viewscreen, the whole universe bright and open before her like an outstretched hand.
But in this life, former Starfleet Captain Meihong Lin is pissed out of her head, and at this point in time, she could not give less of a shit about alternate timelines, staring as she is down the barrels of about fifteen rather nasty-looking guns.
She's not convinced that all of them will fire reliably, or at least, not in the right direction. Her time in Starfleet Ground Corps has somewhat spoilt her when it comes to weaponry, and the mercenaries of Nimbus III–also known as "the arsehole of the alpha quadrant"–do not, understandably, have access to the quite the same level of sophistication. Nevertheless, she's quite certain that if her visitors take it upon themselves to fire, then at least two or three of them will hit her, and that is an eventuality Meihong wishes to avoid. She raises her hands in a gesture which she hopes is more diplomatic than drunk.
"Gentlemen," she says. "And ladies. And others. I realise now that my actions may have been… inadvisable. And I'd like to offer my most sincere apologies. I will, obviously, make reparations to your esteemed employer, and will of course return the… um… his Romulan friend… as soon as I find her. Unfortunately, the young lady seems to have absconded with all my currency, so if I could perhaps enlist your help in locating…"
The biggest and ugliest of the mercenaries, a tall Klingon woman whom she has nicknamed "Bruiser" in her head, raises her rifle pointedly. It looks like some kind of jury-rigged Romulan disruptor, and Meihong wonders idly why Bruiser isn't on the front lines shooting Starfleet officers with the rest of her Klingon friends. Meihong decides not to voice this particular thought.
"We'll deal with the girl later," hisses Bruiser through pointed teeth. "Right now, we're more interested in why a Starfleet Officer is selling weapons to Orion agents in the middle of the Neutral Zone."
"…okay. Well. I can see where some of the confusion has come from," says Meihong, who had been expecting a completely different accusation. "First, I actually left Starfleet four years ago–"
"So you say," interrupts Bruiser.
"–Right, yes, of course. But if you consider the state of Starfleet at the minute, it– wait. Did you say Orion agents? Because I don't remember talking to any Orions. Actually, I was specifically avoiding Orions this evening. In fact for the last few hours I've been avoiding anything green, just in case."
"Don't toy with me, Starfleet."
"Former Starfleet! Former!" Meihong raises her arms a little higher. "And just to be clear, I don't know who told you I was dealing weapons, but whoever it is clearly hasn't seen my account balance. Because I don't sell guns. I just… shoot them. Well. I use them to shoot people. But not right now. Right now, I don't have a gun. Because as you may have noticed, I'm in my underwear."
"The tiny human talks too much," mutters an unidentifiable humanoid next to Bruiser. "Should we just blow off her legs like the boss suggested?"
Bruiser appears to consider whether his proposition is in line with contemporary Klingon conceptions of honour. Meihong waves her hands hurriedly.
"No! No legs! Listen, I'm not bullshitting you! I can prove it!"
The Klingon woman laughs hoarsely, and cocks her head at a young lad at the edge of the group. He throws a rudimentary PADD onto the floor between them. Carefully, Meihong edges toward it, still keeping both hands raised, although she has to requisition one to pick up the device. Her forehead creases.
"What is this? My account balance? Look, I know it's been cleared. That Romulan girl took my biometrics while I was asleep. In fact, I'm pretty sure she slipped me something…"
"We see through your lies, human scum." Bruiser bares her teeth, all five hundred of them, or so it seems to Meihong. "Didn't think to clear your transfers, did you?"
"Clear my–oh. Oh shit." Because she has just worked out what she's looking at. Close to three and a half million credits, transferred under the name Meihong Lin last night and routed to various off-planet bank accounts. And right now, standing in her crappy rented house on this desolate shit-hole of a planet with a group of trigger-happy mercenaries ready to collect her legs, there isn't a damn thing she can do to clear her name.
Unless, of course, fate chooses that moment to lob a grenade through the window. Which it does.
Captain Singh is getting too old for this shit.
And the inside of the USS Madrid looks about as bad as he feels. Oh, it runs, of course, but at the last spacedock they only had the resources for essential repairs, not aesthetic ones. Which means big holes in the bulkheads with circuitry showing through them and consoles held together with repair tape. And a brig with a huge malfunction in the air circulation system, which essentially means no brig. Which is why his detainees are currently sitting at the table in the briefing room, looking for all the world like they're here for a tea party, if tea parties involved a Starfleet security detail standing guard.
Had his ship been on the front lines, maybe it would be different. He'd have a proper brig. With air and everything. Then again, he might also be getting blown to bits by Klingons, so maybe he should be thankful for small mercies.
"I told you again," says the annoying grey-haired Trill woman. "We're doctors."
"In an unregistered ship," replies Captain Singh. "Leaving Cardassian space. Carrying contraband."
"Carrying medical supplies."
"Which, under current Federation rationing laws, means contraband." Singh is tired. He's had four hours' sleep, his beard is all over the place, and his turban looks as if it was applied by a cat. But as his First Officer comes in with the dossiers from Starfleet, he tries his best to look dignified.
"Thank you, Commander. I'll see you back on the bridge. Okay, let's see. Oh yes, Captain Reta Dayeb. That's you, isn't it?" Singh scrolls down. "Joined Trill, exiled by your homeworld twenty years ago, wanted for unauthorized entry into Cardassian Space and the neutral zone. Not exactly popular are you? And you-" he continues, talking over Reta's protests to focus on the smirking dark-skinned woman next to her- "gave your name as – 'Ura Bellend' – oh yes, very funny. Well, your DNA test indicates you're not human, as you claimed, and while we don't have any record of you on our database, you can rest assured that we'll be running full biometric scans to work out exactly whose problem you are."
His gaze moves to a scowling Ferengi girl. "As for you, Miss Angua, there's a missing persons report with your name on it, as well as a warrant on Ferenginar for your arrest. Apparently they take assault and theft pretty seriously where you come from. We'll be taking you home just as soon as I clear it with Command.
"Right then." He looks at the blond white guy sitting next to her. "Another 'Record not found.' Fantastic. Just what we needed. Hammer, is it? Is that Mr Hammer, or…?"
"Just Hammer," replies the man amiably, with a distinct Australian twang.
"Just Hammer. Great. And finally, Dr Taurek." Singh's eyes scan down the Vulcan's dossier and he is silent for a second. "You know, I've seen a lot of stuff in this job, but this takes the cake. I mean, are your shipmates aware of all this? And they let you practice medicine?"
Taurek stares back at him, his expression neutral, but whatever Captain Singh is about to say next is cut off by 'Ura Bellend' saying, "Um, can I send a transmission?"
"Can you what?" Singh squints at her. "No, you can't send a transmission. This is serious. What you people are doing amounts to treason."
"I actually already sent one. I just wanted to follow up."
"You – when did you send a transmission? No, forget it, I don't even want to know. In a few hours you'll be someone else's problem."
Ura Bellend–this is what Singh is now calling the woman in his head–scratches behind one ear. "It's just I have a friend in the Federation diplomatic corps, and she might be trying to call me back. Could you at least have someone monitor incoming transmissions to the Frontier?"
"I assure you, Ms… Ms Bellend, we're doing that already. Now if you'll excuse me-"
"Uh, Captain." It's his First Officer again, and she looks worried. "Admiral Mill is on the line."
"Fucking brilliant!" Singh slams the PADD down on the table and throws up his hands. "Right, put it through to my ready room. Is there anything else anyone wants to throw at me today? Maybe another rat infestation or something?"
"We have some kittens," offers Angua. "Kittens are kind of like rats."
"No, sir." His Bolian First Officer shakes her head. "It's not for you. It's for them."
In books, holonovels, and 2D movies, when there's an interruption–such as a flash grenade shattering the window, for example–the bad guys always pause for a second to allow the hero to take cover. For Meihong, the reality is slightly different. She barely has time to drop to the ground before the mercenaries start shooting, one beam missing her leg by a hair, and in the ensuing explosions and chaos manages to cram into a most unheroic position under her bed. If this thing catches fire, I'm fucked, she thinks as she scrambles for her spare phaser rifle.
The weapon shocks her hand as she touches it, and there is a moment of panic before she realises that the shooting has stopped. Someone has activated a dampening field, which means either Starfleet or Romulans, and right now, Meihong isn't sure which possibility is worse. Summoning all her strength, she rocks the bed onto its side and takes cover behind it just in time to crush the hands that had been reaching for her moments before.
Apart from her now-useless gun, there's not much of use under Meihong's bed apart from a few dirty socks and a bottle of Acamarian Brandy which she'd forgotten about. She debates whether it would be more useful to take a shot or make a Molotov cocktail. It's a difficult decision, because Acamarian Brandy is actually pretty expensive, but the sound of another explosion forces her hand. She's halfway into stuffing a sock into the neck of the bottle when a familiar voice catches her attention. Her ears are ringing from the explosions, but she can just about make out something that sounds like "Cpphmn Lin! Yrr alive?"
"What? I mean yeah! Yeah I'm alive!"
A blue shape dives behind the bed and Meihong is poised to give it the back end of the bottle before she realises who it is. "Ledus! Fuck me!"
The Andorian woman mouths something like "Maybe later, baby!" and then makes a punching motion with her fist before indicating over the bed. Meihong doesn't need to be told twice. If there was anything missing from last night, it was a good old-fashioned fistfight. She pulls the sock out of her brandy bottle, takes a swig, and then, still holding it, leaps into the fray.

During photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) experiments aimed at understanding the semiconductor to metal transition in tin clusters, the spectrum of Sn12- was observed to be remarkably simple and totally different from the corresponding Ge12- cluster, suggesting that Sn12- is a unique and highly symmetric cluster. Structural optimization starting from an icosahedral (Ih) cluster led to a slightly distorted cage with C5v symmetry. However, adding an electron to Sn12- resulted in a stable closed-shell Ih-Sn122- cluster, which was synthesized in the form of KSn12- (K+[Sn122-]) with a similar PES spectrum as Sn12-. The Ih-Sn122- cage is shown to be bonded by four delocalized radial p bonds and nine delocalized on-sphere tangential bonds from the 5p orbitals of the Sn atoms, whereas the 5s2 electrons remain largely localized and nonbonding. The bonding pattern in Sn122- is similar to the well-known B12H122- cage, with the twelve 5s2 localized electron pairs replacing the twelve B-H bonds. Both the -bonding and the highly spherical symmetry of the 12-atom Sn cluster are analogous to the C60 fullerene and a name "stannaspherene" is coined for this highly special cluster. The corresponding 12-atom Pb cluster is also found to be an icosahedral cage cluster and a name "plumbaspherene" has been coined to describe its -bonding and high symmetry. Both stannaspherene and plumbaspherene have diameters exceeding 6 Å and can host most transition metal atoms in the periodic table, giving rise to a large class of endohedral chemical building blocks ([email protected] or [email protected]) for potential new cluster-assembled nanomaterials.

Summer Research Projects
The Internet Innovation Centre sponsored its inaugural Internet bootcamp during the summer of 2003. The bootcamp provided a forum for application development and exploratory Internet related research and provided summer research stipends for 1 second year student and 3 third year students in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In addition to supplying network programming assistance to a number of internal projects the students developed a suite of tools called "nathack" dealing with the circumvention of firewalls. Complete details can be found at www.nathack.net
Druring the summers of 2004 and 2005 a number of students were involved in developing an Intrusion Detection system called GEMS. This subsequently evolved into an undergraduate thesis project and most recently formed the core of an application we have submitted to MITACS. Complete details can be found at gems.ee.umanitoba.ca
Each year the Internet Innovation Centre sponsors a number of undergraduate projects.
Wireless Utility Meter Reading: This report details the development, design and implementation of a remote meter monitoring system using a camera and wireless ZigBee nodes. Currently, remote meter sensing systems exist, however these are not deployed in older homes do to the prohibitive replacement cost of installing a new system. This system was designed to be a low cost prototype solution, capable of performing remote reading. The major hardware components of this design are a Logitech Quickcam webcam and a pair of Integration ZigBee USB dongles. Most of the physical hardware has been emulated in order to reduce the cost of the prototype. The embedded system used to run the camera and a single ZigBee USB dongle has been emulated on a Linux 2.4 kernel using VMWare. The camera system is implemented in Java using an extra package known as the Java Media Framework to interface with the drivers.
The system is a one-click application that will capture a picture of the meter and wirelessly transmit to the ZigBee nodes from up to 10m away. The device with the camera initializes the ZigBee network and waits on standby until a reader connects. Upon a connection, the camera device transmits an image of the meter to the handheld reader. The handheld reader then displays the image on its screen. The system is designed to allow for extensions to be made by students interesting in pursuing a similar project at a later time.

Web Based Notification System using LAMP Architecture and C++: With its growing usage rate and dependency, the World Wide Web can provide a great medium for Amber Alerts. The Web Based Notification system is composed of a database server, web server, and a pop up notification application that interacts with each other to alert a user of an Amber Alert. The web server and database server were designed using the Linux Apache MySQL PHP software stack and the pop up application was written in C++. Missing child information would be stored in the database where police officials can look up and edit information through a collection of web pages that reside on the web server. The pop up application runs in the background of a users workstation and monitors the web page for updates in missing children information. A pop up is generated, notifying the user of an Amber Alert.

RFID Pet door opener: A remotely controlled pet door activated by a pet's rfid or rfid collar will lock or unlock a door providing access to a pet. The door's state will be logged and allow for person to remotely determine if their pet is in or out (via the web). This is an extension to most existing rfid applications which are primarily used for id. In this type of instance the rfid is also used as a control mechanism.
GEMS: The first phase of the geographical intrusion event mapping system was deployed. An overlay intrusion network consisting of 10 surveillance nodes spanning from Victoria to Memorial started collecting intrusion events. A paper summarizing the results can be found [here].
Remote energy management: A second project centered around managing energy consumption in a home. The basic system monitored power consumption and would shut down a circuit based on factors such as time of day or utilization. A novel aspect of the project included a UPS that would limit the impact of the local power shut down.

Having an internal DNS and an external DNS (for VPN use)
Hard to to have a succinct title for this.
I put it in the laptop and netbook as it is a problem I would see mobile users coming across more than others.
So I have an internal DNS server (a pfsense firewall) that then uses my ISP for external name resolution. This internal DNS server answers lookups for all internal machines on my home network too, responses no other DNS server could answer with.
I have a VPN account with work. Work too has their own DNS for resolving internal domains as well external lookups.
So the issue I have is when I connect to my works VPN I have to use their DNS in order to access resources on works network, but then I lose access to my DNS server which subsequently loses me domain name access to local machines.
Right now I am using my own DNS and hand looking up work machines to then access. Seems rather silly.
I have thought I could set up a BIND server on my desktop that makes the VPN connection, but feels like overkill for such a trival problem.
I know the resolver library on most Linux machines tries the first DNS in resolv.conf and if it times outs, moves onto the next. Can it not move onto the next if the first one responses but is unable to successfully look up the given domain name? It would be the most simply solution adding only a slight delay on some lookups.
Any better solution that others have would be appreciated.
Intresting stuff you got there.
Maybe you could tweak your internal dns to forward only the work domain to the vpn/work dns server.
Think of tlds.
Take alook at this http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networ...ns/ch10_05.htm
Scroll down to "10.5.2. Forward Zones". Should get you set.
That ones also quite nice: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind...ne/014811.html
Thank you zhjim
That is all I would need. If I could send any look up requests for a certain domain to my work DNS, I would be set.
I will follow up those links you have provided. I use pfsense as my home DNS server (dnsmasq is what it uses internally)
This is an abstract taken from http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq...q.conf.example

text: Ronda Rousey admits she was 'f***ing sad' about shock loss to Holly Holm, and reveals her brutal injuries could take six months to heal - as she's seen leaving a Los Angeles laser treatment facility By Emily James For Dailymail.com Published: 16:56 EST, 7 December 2015 | Updated: 18:46 EST, 7 December 2015 Ronda Rousey is speaking out for the first time about her stunning upset loss to Holly Holm, who dethroned her as Ultimate Fighting Champion in their big match-up last month. The 28-year-old fighter, who was left unconscious and hospitalized after Holly, 34, knocked her out in the second round with a powerful kick to the head, graces this month's cover of ESPN magazine, admitting that the defeat made her 'really f***ing sad'. Ronda, who was seen leaving a laser treatment facility in Santa Monica, California yesterdau, admits that she is far from healed, revealing: 'It might be three to six months before I can eat an apple, let alone take an impact.' Scroll down for video +12 Down, but not out: Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey, 28, is speaking out for the first time about her stunning upset loss to Holly Holm in the new issue of ESPN magazine +12 Taking a breather: Ronda, seen above leaving a laser treatment center in Santa Monica, California on Dec 6, revealed that she's taking up to six months off from fighting due to the injuries she sustained in the match While she looks healthy and toned in a pink sports bra and shorts on the cover, and appeared unbruised as she left the Santa Monica center wearing a green hooded sweatshirt, distressed jeans, and glasses, Ronda still has stitches in her lip and a few loose front teeth from the bloody fight. But the athlete, whose brutal loss of the bantamweight champion title ended her undefeated record, says she remains optimistic about the future of her career. 'Maybe I can't do it all before my prime, before my body is done. But f*** it, maybe I can,' she told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne in the magazine's 'Ideas of the Year' issue, which debuts online tomorrow. 'She lost.

Many people were happy that the undefeated and outspoken fighter had finally fallen, with Donald Trump tweeting afterwards that she is 'not a nice person', and 50 Cent, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga mocking her for her loss. But Ronda, while wounded, doesn't intend to change her ways for any of her haters. 'Most people get scared away from having an opinion. It's not so much my opinions everybody relates to, it's that I don't care about being punished for it,' she tells the magazine. +12 Confessions: Ronda tells ESPN magazine she was 'really f***ing sad' after losing to Holly +12

I decided to repaint our master bathroom on a whim. Remember that? I know it's not a room that very many people see, other than my husband and I, but I had to give it some love. We (obviously) use it all of the time, so why not enjoy it
a little more A LOT more? I've been diligently working in there: painting the walls, wiping down the cabinets, and scrubbing the shower. It's coming along, but up until recently I wasn't exactly sure where I was headed with the whole makeover (you know, since I started it spontaneously). What did I need? What did I want to add?
Here is a glimpse from the painting progress. I thought it might be nice to show you a photo that actually demonstrates the difference the paint color is making since it was hard to tell before.
See how it well it works with the gray tones in the existing tile and grout?
See how it well it works with the gray tones in the existing tile and grout?
While I was in the middle of re-painting I became lost in thought remembering how beautiful the bathrooms turned out with the house flipping project. They were bright, clean and charming. It felt really good to plan out a mood board, select various products and then watch it all become a beautiful reality right before my eyes.
Ideally that should also happen when you build a custom home like we did, but you might be surprised how quickly you have to make some decisions. We really rushed on the lighting, bathrooms and a few other areas of our home. I've always had the urge to redo them lingering in the back of my mind.
Before I knew it I was day dreaming up a brand new master bathroom retreat for us.
My Process
I thought it would be fun to make a few mood boards of my own (for some much needed direction) and to show my husband the potential. He isn't the best at picturing an outcome; that's where I come in. Visuals are helpful in convincing him of any kind of household work (I've learned that over the years). I'm not saying he will let me completely redo the bathroom. The chances of that are slim, but it isn't impossible to update a few things... And gosh, it's ALWAYS fun to dream!
Online Inspiration
To start, I used the ModernBath.com website to get inspired and find materials. Why not just use Pinterest first you ask? Well, because I wanted to create a bathroom based on my own original thoughts. Something that I hadn't necessarily seen before; something unique to our personal style. Therefore, Pinterest was out, as I did not want to replicate someones vision. Make sense?
ModernBath.com Website ReviewModernBath.com has a wide variety of high end products, so I knew I would find plenty of beautiful options to choose from. I found it very easy to locate any item that I was interested in. Each category is clearly labeled with pictures and text, making navigation a breeze. It's really the perfect site for anyone seriously considering a bathroom remodel (they offer many luxurious upgrades, have a price match guarantee, downloadable installation guides and even a live chat representative to help you as you browse)! Want a heated tub? Special jet modes? Warming towel bar? They've got you covered.
The first selection that I made was a vanity. My favorites were found under the transitional section. Not sure what transitional style is? The photo will clue you in! I'm realizing more and more that while I do absolutely love the clean lines of modern and contemporary design, at home I prefer the more casual look of transitional and rustic design. Therefore, I started my browsing using the convenient "shop by style" method. Props to Modernbath.com for their website layout (who doesn't love easy shopping)!
The vanity pictured below grabbed my attention, and it was love at first sight. The warmth in the light wood tones won me over immediately. I think it's a nice contrast to the typical cold feel that bathrooms naturally take on due to the literal cold tile floor surfaces, stark white bathtubs, and sometimes harsh lighting. Of course this vanity is completely opposite of what we currently have -- go figure! My tastes are becoming refined as the years go on, I suppose.
*Side note: ModernBath.com makes the process incredibly straightforward when make decisions about the details. After you choose the vanity, you can use the "configurator" feature to select the countertop, matching mirror, faucets, etc that go along with the vanity. Of course you don't have to use this, but it is helpful if you are the type of person that gets overwhelmed with many small decisions (cough, cough -- my husband).
A gray vanity came in second place, catching my eye because of the warm wood finish that peeks through the gray paint color. I could picture two of these side by side with a storage cabinet or shelving in between. We have currently have granite countertops in our master bathroom, but it doesn't look nearly as beautiful as this vanity top. It's the gray that I'm into, I'm sure of it! Gray cabinets, gray counter top, gray walls... And now I feel like I might have an addiction?
Pinpointing a Vision
Feeling a bit indecisive about which vanity option my husband would prefer, I decided to create a mood board around each one.
Lucky you, it's two-for-one Thursday! :)
The first design features a natural wood vanity, clean rectangular lines (sink, mirror & tub), and dark oil rubbed bronze fixtures. The dark fixtures would match well with our current shower doors which are glass with a dark boarder. The overall feel this mood board provokes is warm & inviting. Would you agree?
Mood Board #1 Sources:
Mood board #2 boasts a completely different style with the gray vanity, shiny chrome fixtures, and softer round lines from the sink, tub and mirror. I think this option offers a touch of sophisticated glam with the flashier finishes & less use of wood tones. Plus, the tub would most definitely be a focal point! And even though we have the dark boarder that frames out our shower glass, we also have chrome bathtub and shower fixtures. We really could go either direction with this.
Mood Board #2 Sources:
Decision Time
Re-painting the walls has been a step in the right direction, and I am thankful for the impetuous side of me that just goes for it. Now my vision is focused thanks to these two mood boards. Are you surprised with my choices? I know which one I am leaning more towards.... any guesses?
I'd love your vote as well. Please weigh in with your support! #1 or #2? I'll let you know which one is my favorite and what my husband says in my next progress post -- you won't want to miss it!
I'd love your vote as well. Please weigh in with your support! #1 or #2? I'll let you know which one is my favorite and what my husband says in my next progress post -- you won't want to miss it!
By the way, I am open to any other ideas for this makeover! Maybe I need a chandelier over the tub? We do have a light that needs to be replaced. Or a ladder for a towel bar? Let me know your thoughts, I love hearing my readers opinions! :)

Let's look it straight in the face. Mike McCoy probably isn't going to get the honor, because he coaches the San Diego Chargers, who are housed west of Peyton Manning and thus geographically beyond ESPN's myopic field of vision.
But McCoy, the Chargers' rookie head coach, should at least be given serious consideration for NFL Coach of the Year. A case can be made that he deserves to win. Seriously.
McCoy somehow, someway, has his young, depleted football team in today's Wild Card playoff game in Cincinnati. The Chargers are 9-7, winners of four straight, five of their last six. It's hard to think a coach still working a game plan this January has overcome as much as he has, from injuries, to inexperience, to a roster few outside their building thought playoff-ready.
No coach and his staff have done more with less. I don't even know if it's close.
I'll be the first to admit I haven't agreed with all of McCoy's freshman-year decisions. His style can be terribly frustrating, and I believe it cost him.
There have been times when he's been far too conservative, forgetting he isn't coaching the 1992 Cowboys. He isn't a risk-taker. He may have sloughed it off, but I can't believe he was pleased with Eric Weddle's decision to run the fake punt last Sunday that eventually led to the win over Kansas City.
There has been unevenness to his thinking. He didn't go conservative at the end of the game in Washington and not only did it cost him then, it meant he needed extreme good fortune later on, with dramatic help from others, to make the tournament. It wasn't smart.
There have been times when he forgot the other guys have nearly as many limitations as his guys. He hasn't always realized that there are no great teams anymore, that he has enough to beat most anyone, as he proved on the road at Denver, Kansas City and Philadelphia, and at home against the Colts and Cowboys.
There have been times when he forgot the importance of game management, although it's a fault found in most coaches who stubbornly refuse to have clock watchers by their side. On this, McCoy has no excuses.
But there are more pluses than minuses.
You can say he was fortunate to make the playoffs, and, let's face it, he was, although tears can't be shed over those who didn't go -- including the whining Pittsburghers, who conveniently forgot their Steelers opened the season 0-4.
But with any luck at all, these Chargers could have won three or four more games (Houston, Tennessee, Washington and Miami come to mind). The Washington game was over. They at the very least should have finished 10-6.
And I didn't think they'd win six games. I wasn't alone.
Look, this coach lost his two top wide receivers, Danario Alexander before the season and Malcom Floyd two games in, and sophomore speed rusher Melvin Ingram before the season began. In the fourth game, outside linebacker and sack master Dwight Freeney, the top offseason acquisition, was gone. The offensive line was a mess. The team spent a fortune on free agent corner Derek Cox and he covered like a baby diaper on King Dunlap.
Injuries are the easiest among excuses, but I'm convinced the Chargers would have at least 12 wins by now if Alexander and Floyd remained healthy.
Credit offensive line coach Joe D'Alessandris with great work and his players with a willingness to play hard and learn. How he got it all to come together is something for a higher authority to figure out, but McCoy hired him, don't forget. Quarterback Philip Rivers was sacked 30 times (under two per game), but he was dumped 49 times a year earlier. And tailback Ryan Mathews ran for 1,255 yards behind that line.
Credit McCoy and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt (also hired by McCoy) for installing a quick, safer passing system that gave Rivers more responsibility. He responded with one of his finest seasons -- and we heard he was washed up before Mike arrival.
McCoy figures to get better at everything as he goes along and learns the nuances of the job, but there's one thing he can do extremely well. And that's game plan. His team hardly was aces last week, but only once did it really stink it out, and that was Oct. 6 at Oakland, where it still had a chance to win.
By my count the Chargers' final roster has 22 players on it who weren't around at the end of 2012. Credit rookie General Manager Tom Telesco, who should be given consideration as Executive of the Year, for filling holes -- if at least temporarily -- with guys willing to play football.
And to Mike McCoy for coaching them.

The end of homeopathy on the NHS in Bristol?
Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are consulting on their proposal to decommission all NHS-funded homeopathy.
After the Bristol Homeopathic Hospital closed in January 2013, homeopathy continued to be provided by a small clinic at the South Bristol Community Hospital. Just three years later, in October 2015, this too closed to be replaced by a private clinic, the Portland Centre for Integrative Medicine. That is not part of the NHS but is contracted by the CCGs to provide homeopathy services.
Now the group of CCGs wants to end all homeopathy referrals to that clinic.
The consultation consists essentially of just two simple questions:
- Do you understand the reasons for our proposal to stop NHS funding for homeopathy treatment? Yes|No
- Do you agree or disagree with our proposal to cease NHS funding for homeopathy? Agree|Disagree
…with the opportunity to explain your answers and provide further information.
The consultation closes next Tuesday, 15 August 2017 so plenty of time to submit your response, but don't leave it too late!
Homeopaths and their trade bodies (including the Faculty of Homeopathy and the British Homeopathic Association) have been urging their members to respond: we know decisions should not be made on the popularity of a treatment but on the best evidence, but the more the CCGs hear about the evidence-based position, the easier it will be for them to make the right decision.
We will be submitting our own comprehensive response to the CCGs and we will publish it later in the year.
There is another consultation running at the moment, this time by NHS England that would effectively blacklist homeopathy, but that doesn't close until October so we'll leave that for another time.
It'll only take you a minute to respond to this consultation: why not do it right now?
10 August 2017

text: What Young Professionals Need to Know about the Regulatory Environment Posted on 3/6/2017 Making sense of the many regulatory changes in the current environment can prove a daunting task for any financial professional, but particularly for young professionals. The December 2016 RMA's Young Professionals Audio Conference helped to bring clarity to today's complex issues. Edward Schreiber, EVP and chief risk officer at Zions Bancorporation, began the audio conference by identifying the various regulatory agencies and the distinguishing factors of each. He explained that the way a bank is chartered determines which regulatory agency monitors it. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulates and oversees national banks and federal savings associations. The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It has responsibility for supervising and regulating banks and other important financial institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation's banking and financial system. By law, nationally chartered banks must be members of the Federal Reserve System. The FDIC examines and supervises more than 5,000 banks and savings banks for operational safety and soundness. Banks can be chartered by the states or by the federal government. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an independent agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector. The CFPB supervises banks, credit unions, and other financial companies, and enforces federal consumer financial laws. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an agency of the U.S. federal government. Primarily, it has responsibility for enforcing federal securities laws, proposing securities rules, and regulating the securities industry, the nation's stock and options exchanges, and other activities and organizations, including the electronic securities markets in the United States. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) is a private corporation that acts as a self‐regulatory organization (SRO). It is an independent, not‐for‐profit organization authorized by Congress to protect America's investors by making sure the securities industry operates fairly and honestly. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) is a formal interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions by the Board of Governors of the FRB, the FDIC, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the OCC, and the CFPB.Schreiber then discussed CAMELS, which is the supervisory rating system that the agencies use to classify a bank's overall condition. Each bank is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 defined as a bank expected to fail within six months to a year. A rating of 3 warrants enforcement action placed on the bank to help correct the deficiency. The ratings assigned are based on a ratio analysis of financial statements, combined with on‐site examinations by a designated supervisory regulator. Specifically, CAMELS stands for the six components of a bank's performance that are assessed: capital adequacy, assets, management capability, earnings, liquidity (i.e., asset liability management), and sensitivity (i.e., sensitivity to market risk, especially interest rate risk). Considering the heightened regulatory environment, Schrieber offered current regulatory "hot buttons" for young professionals to keep top of mind. There is increased scrutiny regarding the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering. Schreiber cited real-life examples of civil money penalties being assessed to institutions who failed to adhere to policies and failed to correct deficiencies the first time in a prompt, realistic manner. Regulators have an increased focus and zero tolerance for error regarding the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Regulators are looking for adequate financial, staffing, and managerial resources to ensure proper administration of the SCRA. Regulators are also closely monitoring incentive compensation and sales target practices. Recent regulatory actions are spotlighting how employees are incentivized, and whether there is increased risk of fraud resulting from those incentives. Concentration management is becoming an area of regulatory concern due to a few factors: the economy's current placement in the credit cycle, past loan losses and impact on profitability, past history of bank failures, and increasing bank exposure to CRE. Schreiber recommended active ongoing management of specialty portfolios and lines of business, i.e., energy, being watchful of downgrade trends, and keeping open lines of communication with regulators. Unsurprisingly, cybersecurity will be an area of emphasis among regulators for the foreseeable future. Schreiber recommended an assessment tool from FFIEC to enhance an institution's oversight and management of this ongoing threat.

The Town of Kure Beach will be hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for the Ocean Front Park on July 16, 2011 at 1:00pm. The Town has contracted with Integrity Builders LLC and construction of the Ocean Front Park began earlier this week.
The park site will include an open air pavilion with a stage area for concerts and educational events; a public restroom; a small playground for young children; a rain garden; walking path with memorial pavers, native plantings and swings and benches. The park site will also include an underground storm water infiltration system that will retain approximately four blocks of storm water.
Additionally, as part of the construction, the Town will replace the paving on Atlantic
Avenue in front of the park with asphalt sloped to pervious pavers in the parking spaces for storm water management. The Town will also replace the two blocks of existing boardwalk from K to L Avenue.
Since start of the construction phase, all parking on the west side of Atlantic Avenue in front of the park site has been removed and the area will be used as a construction staging area. The Town has identified seventy-six (76) new parking spaces two and a half blocks north of the pier and will be placing signage at these locations.
The town apologizes in advance for any inconvenience the construction may cause. Atlantic Avenue and the boardwalk will remain open as much as possible during this time. Due to circumstances beyond the Town's control and grant timelines, the town was forced to begin construction during summer. The Town anticipates no work will be done to Atlantic Avenue or the boardwalk until after the Labor Day weekend.
The Town will be offering the opportunity in the near future to contribute to the park
by sponsoring a bench, swing, garden and or plantings, memorial pavers and general
donations for future additions or upkeep.

[Plugin: wp-mailman] Works for me in 3.0.5 (after some fixes)
I just set this up, and had to do some digging to get it to work, but wanted to share my results for the benefits of others.
I'm using debian stable (squeeze), and the install of wordpress and mailman from the stable repository. I set up mailman basically following this guide, if it matters. I added www-data to the 'list' group (/etc/group).
The main blocking issue for me was that after everything else seemed to be set up correctly, and I could even verify that the subscribe() command was being run with a cmd path and flags that worked when run as sudo -u www-data, users still weren't actually being subscribed. This led me to suspect that popen() might be behaving badly, so I checked its documentation, and, sure enough, found a likely culprit:
Note: When safe mode is enabled, you can only execute files within the safe_mode_exec_dir.
I opened up my vhost config and added:
php_value safe_mode_exec_dir "/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/mailman/"
I reloaded apache, and everything worked! Woo!
My only remaining complaint is that the subscribe() function gets called immediately when the registration gets processed, not after the user confirms the registration in their email.
- The topic '[Plugin: wp-mailman] Works for me in 3.0.5 (after some fixes)' is closed to new replies.

Medicare Part D beneficiaries showed better adherence to their oral diabetes drugs when receiving them by mail order, according to a new study.
Walgreens is planning to sell health insurance as soon as this fall, CNNMoney reported Tuesday morning.
Medicare Part D prescription drug plan premiums will cost beneficiaries roughly $30 in 2012, according to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Looking to challenge reimbursement rate reductions for Medicaid beneficiaries, pharmacy groups have filed a joint legal brief with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Alliance for Patient Care, a coalition of healthcare providers, health plans, patient advocates and others working together to protect access to care in California's Medi-Cal (Medicaid) program, headed to Washington, D.C., to urge the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and members of Congress to reject California's proposed cut to the state's Medi-Cal program, according to a statement issued Wednesday by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores.
New guidelines that will ensure women receive preventive health services at no additional cost were announced Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Pharmacy benefit management tools helped slow prescription drug spending growth from 5.3% in 2009 to 3.5% in 2010, according to a new study by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is producing savings for state Medicaid programs that take advantage of a provision equalizing drug rebates between managed care and fee-for-service programs, according to a fact sheet released Tuesday by the Association for Community Affiliated Plans.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores announced Thursday that it has submitted comments to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging outlining the value of the pharmacist-patient interaction in helping improve health and reduce costs in the Medicare program, and urged the committee to support the Medication Therapy Management Empowerment Act of 2011, which seeks to increase access to pharmacy services for Medicare beneficiaries.
Bipartisan legislation recently introduced to the Senate has received endorsement from a group representing the retail pharmacy industry.
The National Community Pharmacists Association on Friday announced "grave concerns" regarding a purported Oregon Medicaid plan amendment that would, according to the association, renege on a pact the state previously reached with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and cut Medicaid pharmacy reimbursement for the second time this year.
New bipartisan legislation introduced to the Senate last week seeks to offer states incentives to use generic drugs by allowing states to temporarily keep a portion of the savings.
The U.S. Department of Defense has issued a final rule that, effective Aug. 12, expands the scope of retail pharmacy-provided vaccination services in the TRICARE military healthcare program for the nation's military, retirees and their families.
Amid debt ceiling talks, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores has sent a letter to President Barack Obama and to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate leadership outlining key areas to help ensure continued patient access to pharmacy services through such federally funded programs as Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE, the association announced on Wednesday.
H. D. Smith on Monday announced its support for H.R. 1041, otherwise known as the Fairness in Medicare Bidding Act.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores has submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding a proposed rule that would help to determine Medicaid beneficiary access to pharmacies and other healthcare providers.
Bipartisan legislation that is aimed to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid programs has been introduced to Congress.
There are better ways to reduce expenses for Tricare beneficiaries than to restrict access to community pharmacy. What's more, Congress should adopt alternative cost-saving strategies, including utilizing local pharmacists. That was a key message in an op-ed co-authored by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and the National Community Pharmacists Association and published June 13 in The Hill's Congress Blog.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been a bête noire among much of the Republican party since President Obama signed it into law. But as GOP presidential candidates prepared for the first official debate in Manchester, N.H., one group launched a series of ads defending it and other programs to address the nation's health coverage gap.
The House of Representatives last week passed the FY2012 Defense Authorization bill by a vote of 322 to 96. The bill includes a small increase in the Tricare Prime fee, the American Society of Military Comptrollers noted in a statement, but caps future increases at no more than the cost-of-living adjustment.
The Healthcare Distribution Management Association on Wednesday honored Rep. Gene Green, D-Texas, with its Rx Safety and Healthcare Leadership Award.
Reps. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., and Peter Welch, D-Vt., on Monday introduced legislation that would exempt community pharmacies with less than 10 locations from having to participate in Medicare competitive acquisition programs and pricing when it comes to the sale of blood-glucose meters and supplies.
The Generic Pharmaceutical Association and other trade and patient advocacy groups can push generic drug usage as a way to save on medical costs, but throwing the weight of Congress behind generics gives them a bigger boost than ever.
A new congressional caucus will look for ways to educate the public and members of Congress on how to reduce the country's healthcare costs with affordable medicines.
The National Retail Federation announced that it is endorsing legislation that would repeal the employer mandate provision of last year's healthcare-reform law.
