Despite recent vaccination mandates in California schools, in 2012, cases of whooping cough in the U.S. reached their highest levels in more than 60 years, health officials say.
According to a report out Friday from The Associated Press, "about 42,000 cases were reported last year, the most since 1955. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is still gathering information, and the number could rise to as much as 50,000."
In California, the most recent numbers from the state's department of public health show that from Jan. 1, 2012, through April 24, 2012, 169 cases of whooping cough, also known as pertussis, had been reported statewide, with 10 cases in Orange County.
Although the risk of dying from whooping cough is low – nationally, 18 reportedly perished last year from the disease – some health officials are concerned about vaccine efficacy.
A November 2012 report in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that California kids who had been fully vaccinated were less likely to catch whooping cough, but the report also noted that the more time that had passed since children completed the initial recommended immunization regimen -- three doses of the DTaP vaccine (against diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis) at 2, 4 and 6 months, followed by booster shots at 15-18 months and 4-6 years -- the more likely they were to get whooping cough.
The JAMA report finds that the efficacy of the pertussis regimen fell from 98.1 percent within a year of finishing it to 71.2 percent five or more years later, according to estimates by the researchers from the CDC and the California Department of Public Health.
Despite the efficacy decline, an editorial in the JAMA issue still advises a "suboptimal" whooping cough vaccine is still warranted.
The report is in sync with a Kaiser Permanente study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in September.
As a result, California students entering or advancing to grades seven through 12 during the 2011–12 school year were required to be immunized with a pertussis vaccine booster. In July 2012, AB 354 required only students who were entering or advancing into grade seven to 12 show proof of a pertussis booster vaccine (on or after the seventh birthday).
The California Department of Public Health recommends the booster for all people 10 years of age and older.
During a July 2012 telebriefing hosted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health officials discussed a pertussis epidemic in Washington State, which has seen its highest rates of whooping cough in infants younger than one year of age.
"About half of these cases are babies under three months of age. That's because those very young babies are too young to be protected by vaccines that they start getting at two months of age. Their protection instead depends on the immunity of the people around them, especially pregnant women, their mothers. That is why we strongly urge pregnant women and all who will be around babies to be vaccinated. Infants often get pertussis from a family member or household member," Dr. Anne Schuchat, director for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, said during the telebriefing.
She went on to address adolescents.
"We're also seeing high rates in older children as well. … We realize that by age 10, immunity can wane from the early-childhood vaccines that kids get. That is why we ended up recommending a booster of pertussis-containing vaccine at 11-to-12 years of age.
"Pertussis vaccine remains the single most effective approach to prevent infection," Dr. Schuchat continued. "It is critical to protect infants and others at high risk. I want to stress that unvaccinated children are at eight times higher risk of getting pertussis compared to children fully vaccinated."
The good news? Some experts say whooping cough tends to run in multi-year cycles, and many believe 2012 appears to have been a peak.

Last week I wrote about the first segment of a lecture by organized youth sports advocate and reformer Bob Bigelow. This is Part two.
Bigelow on coaching:
He tells a story regarding the 1992 Celtics and his friend, Coach Chris Ford, as an example of the difficulty in teaching the pick and roll to future Hall of Famers, let alone a group of 9-year-olds. He is emphatic when telling the audience that we are teaching and coaching our young kids in ways that we should not be. We are throwing too many serial skills at them at once.
Next, Bob pulls out, and reads, what he refers to as the "ironic youth sports fable in America."
A mother was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her teenage son. Suddenly her boy bursts into the kitchen, "MOM! CAREFUL, PUT MORE BUTTER IN – MY GOODNESS, MOM, YOU'RE COOKING WAY TOO MANY AT ONCE – TURN THEM, TURN THOSE EGGS NOW. MOM, WE NEED MORE BUTTER – WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE BUTTER? MOM THEY'RE GOING TO STICK – BE CAREFUL, MOM – YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME WHEN YOU'RE COOKING EGGS! HURRY, TURN THEM - HURRY UP, MOM! ARE YOU CRAZY, MOM? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? DON'T FORGET TO SALT THEM! USE THE SALT! GET THE SALT!
The mom says, "What is wrong with you? You don't think I know how to fry a couple of eggs?"
The son calmly replies, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm out on the field trying to play soccer."
Bigelow smiles — hugely — and asks us, as parents and coaches, to think about what is happening in our kids' minds while on the field. What are they thinking about? What are they seeing while we are out there giving them advice and guidance?
"Ask yourself another question," Bob challenges, "Can they hear you? Do they want to hear you? Can they process what you are saying? Do they wish you were somewhere else — not bugging them?"
"Coaches, how much do you think they can process and internalize while out there playing something that we call a sport?"
Bob notes that any athlete, regardless of age, makes at least two decisions per second on the playing field (a baseball batter has about a half of second to decide to swing). And parents and coaches are out there shouting instructions at the same time.
Bigelow suggests that by stepping back off the sidelines 15 to 20 feet "you'll be less inclined to yell instructions." He suggests that we look at our roles and ask ourselves if we are really contributing. "The more we speak, the less they listen," he says. "Our voices should not be hoarse after a game. It becomes pitter-patter."
"Make your points during practices," Bigelow says. "Trying to correct the canoe midstream is very, very difficult. Be very careful on the sidelines, the games are difficult to play as they are."
While he expanded on his point, I thought about The Boy's last freshman football game. I'd gone a few games in a row keeping my mouth shut and trying to enjoy the action on the field. But at that last game, my consecutive game streak ended. I'm guilty. I yelled, no, I screamed instructions to him while he was on the field. I pointed to him and told him to get his head into the game. I shouted, "Get the quarterback — split the double team — get low — don't stop until the whistle." I was literally blowing his mind to bits with instructions.
Bigelow then hits us hard with, "Can we really contribute? Think of ourselves on the sidelines. How much advice, no matter how well meaning, are you giving your children while they are out there struggling to make their two decisions per second? Run-stop-pass-shoot-pick-nose-whatever. And you're out there trying to give them more advice. Be very, very careful what you're saying and doing on the sidelines."
Instead, Bigelow says we'd be better off talking to our buddies rather than trying to guide what is happening on the field. Everything else should be taught during practices or when the player is off the field rather than during play. Anything else, he insists, is worthless.
His mood and the subject shifts quickly to the weeding out of our young athletes. "Do you think anybody can tell the ability of a kid who is five-feet tall and 85 pounds? And how good or bad they are going to be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 years down the road? There is not one person in the history of the world that has been able to do this and no one ever will."
"Folks," he smirks, "they are 10 freaking years old. I can put most of them in my pocket. As I tell them all the time, you could have played 3,000 basketball games, hockey games; you're still only 4'9" and 80 pounds. What does that mean? You're just a shrimp that has played more hockey games. That's what you are. You can't tell and you never will be able to tell."
Bigelow had nibbled around the edges of his biggest gripe for long enough. And from my front row chair, in a corner of a gymnasium in Farmington, CT, I was seconds away from watching him bite into his crusade's villain with the force of a thousand pre-pubescent athletes.
Next Week in Part 3: Bigelow goes off on "cuts" and "travel teams."

About Us
Continuing Education Programs at Hunter College is represented by its five branches: The International English Language Institute (IELI); Continuing Education; The Writing Center; Parliamo Italiano; and the English Language Teaching Institute (ELT). The Continuing Education Programs department was created to fill educational or professional needs that are not filled by other post-graduate degree programs. No other school, college or university within our reach offers the amplitude of courses to satisfy all needs and interests that we offer at Hunter College Continuing Education Programs.
About Our Programs:
Hunter College was founded in 1870 by Irish immigrant and social reformer Thomas Hunter as a teacher-training school for women. Hunter College has long enjoyed a distinguished reputation for liberal arts and sciences and professional schools. Completely co-educational since 1964, Hunter is one of the largest colleges in the City University of New York (CUNY). Hunter College is a comprehensive teaching, research and service institution, long committed to excellence and access of undergraduate and graduate students in the liberal arts and sciences, as well as in several professional fields: education, health sciences, nursing and social work. In addition, Hunter's Continuing Education department offers a wide array of non-credit courses and consists of five programs: Continuing Education (catalog program), the International English Language Institute, The Writing Center, Parliamo Italiano, and the English Language Teaching Institute.
The International English Language Institute at Hunter College (IELI) has existed as a full-service provider of English as a Second Language (ESL) courses since 1976, although English for the Foreign Born classes go back to the beginning of the 20th century. IELI serves over 3,500 students per year, in courses ranging from beginner to Bridge-to-College and advanced courses for the business and professional communities. Our student population ranges from newly arrived immigrants to post-doctoral students affiliated with major research institutions. The IELI is part of the Continuing Education at Hunter College department.
Continuing Education at Hunter College has existed, in its present form, since 1997. It serves as the non-credit educational arm of Hunter College, of the City University of New York. The Continuing Education at Hunter College catalog program offers a breadth of courses and programs covering topics ranging from Microsoft Office to nursing to foreign languages. We offer a variety of Certificate Programs- such as Interpretation/Translation, Legal Studies, and Graphic Design, in addition to our many academic courses designed to help students to better their knowledge of everything from computer literacy to financial know-how. Whether students are new to the workforce, looking for a career change or simply want to learn a new skill, our continuing education programs are designed for professional development and personal enrichment.
The Writing Center-CE at Hunter College has offered an exciting cultural showcase of writing workshops, special topic courses, and literary events since joining the CUNY Hunter community in September 2010. With specified classes for each literary genre, students at The Writing Center are educated on the literary field of their choice by successfully published authors from that same genre. In addition to the knowledge gained in classes, The Writing Center pushes to educate students outside of the typical classroom environment by offering free literary events throughout the semester where students have the unique opportunity to listen to their favorite authors speak and partake in a question and answer with the audience.
Parliamo Italiano officially became part of Hunter College when the board of Parliamo Italiano gifted its assets to Hunter College in June 2011. For more than 30 years, Parliamo Italiano has offered Italian language courses using a successfully proven method developed by the founding director, Franca Lally. Parliamo Italiano offers courses for all levels- days, evenings, and Saturdays. Parliamo Italiano is the perfect complement to the offerings of Continuing Education at Hunter College.
The ELT Institute at Hunter College offers high quality and practical teacher training for Speakers of Other Languages. Classes in the TESOL Certificate Program provide instruction in effective methods and techniques for teaching language. Participants study state-of-the-science content using authentic material and then observe teacher/student classroom interaction. They apply what they have learned in real world teaching contexts at the Hunter College IELI. The ELT Institute also develops customized programs to meet the demands of teacher training programs across the globe.

Have you seen this duck? The 59-foot tall duck is one of several, designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman The art installation had been on display for just 11 days on the Nanming river, in Guiyang City, China before torrential rains caused the river to swell and displace the one-ton sculpture from its moorings and wash down the river. And no one has seen the duck since. Now the search is on for the giant bath toy. While this particular duck has been on a world tour since 2007, this isn't the first time or even the third time this duck has run into trouble in Asia. This truly is one UnluckyDucky.

En Español l The older you are, the more likely you are to get nighttime leg cramps — sudden jolts of pain that can last from just a few seconds to 15 or more minutes. Some studies, in fact, suggest that more than two-thirds of older people have experienced these painful cramps.
Health & Wellness Discounts for AARP Members — Save on prescription drugs, hearing aids, eye care and more.
Nighttime leg cramps typically affect the calf muscles, but you can also get them in the feet or thighs. They may be caused by sitting — or standing on hard surfaces — for too long; wearing uncomfortable shoes or shoes with elevated heels; dehydration (which can deplete electrolytes that are key to proper muscle function); some medical conditions, such as diabetes or edema; and, finally, certain medications.
Here are the eight types of drugs that most frequently cause nighttime leg cramps. If you're taking any of them and experiencing cramps, you should consult with your doctor or other health care professional about the possibility of adjusting the dosage or changing to another type of medication or treatment.
And even if you aren't taking one of these drugs, it's still wise to consult with your doctor if you often cramp up at night. In most cases, leg cramps are harmless. But they can signal an underlying medical problem, especially if you also have muscle weakness, swelling, or numbness or pain that just won't go away.
1. Short-acting loop diuretics
Why they're prescribed: Diuretics (also called water pills) are used to treat high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and edema, among other conditions. Diuretics help the body get rid of excess fluid by moving it into the urine.
Short-acting loop diuretics, so named because they are rapidly eliminated from the body, include bumetanide (Bumex) and furosemide (Lasix, Puresis).
How they can cause leg cramps: Diuretics increase the body's excretion of some electrolytes — including sodium, chloride and potassium — through the urine. Low levels of these can cause extreme fatigue and muscle weakness, as well as achy joints, bones and muscles.
Alternatives: A low dose of a long-acting loop diuretic, such as torsemide (Demadex), can reduce the risk of electrolyte loss. It may also be helpful to cut back on dietary salt, exercise more and control your fluid intake. Be careful with salt substitutes, however, as most contain potassium chloride and can also cause electrolyte imbalances. And be sure to consult a health care professional before beginning a new exercise regimen.
2. Thiazide diuretics
Why they're prescribed: Thiazide diuretics are most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, although they are also used to treat congestive heart failure, edema and other conditions.
Examples of thiazide diuretics include chlorothiazide (Diuril), hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide), indapamide (Lozol) and metolazone (Zaroxolyn).
How they can cause leg cramps: Like short-acting loop diuretics (see above), thiazide diuretics can deplete key electrolytes, causing leg cramps and other serious muscle problems.
Alternatives: Talk with your health care provider about the advisability of switching to a low dose of a long-acting loop diuretic, such as torsemide (Demadex), which can significantly reduce the risk of electrolyte loss, or to another hypertension medication. It may also be helpful to cut back on dietary salt, exercise more and control your fluid intake. Be careful with salt substitutes, however; most contain potassium chloride and can also cause electrolyte imbalances. And consult a health care professional before beginning a new exercise regimen.

Wildfire season has begun once again in So Cal... It has been hotter than hell these past few days, and one of our favorite places to get away from it is being consumed by fire. More than 20 thousand acres have been burned in Camarillo, which is about twenty mils from our home. The wife and I are choking on the smoke generated by the flames, and our eyes have been watering all day.

Hampshire takes firm action to close £80million gap
Friday, 12 July 2013
Hampshire County Council will determine the actions needed to tackle a forecast budget deficit of around £80m, by 2015, when the Cabinet meets on 22 July.
The forecast £80million deficit is the result of the latest period of austerity for all local authorities that could continue to 2020.
Government recently announced a further 10 per cent cut in grant for councils in 2015/16 and this is on top of the 43 per cent grant loss Hampshire has suffered over the four years of the current spending review.
However, because Hampshire planned ahead and took early action to secure £130m savings over the last few years, by reducing the costs of its services, it is in a strong position to deal with the challenges that lie ahead.
While final decisions on spending and council tax levels are not set until February 2014, a strategy is already well underway for the transformation of services to make more savings and generate additional resources to cover further cost reductions, while protecting front-line services.
The appropriate use of reserves continues to play an important part of the strategy to close the gap.
Council Leader Roy Perry said: "There is national pressure to avoid council tax rises, which we in Hampshire endorse, as demonstrated by Hampshire having one of the lowest council taxes in the country, and the lowest in the south east. This relatively low level of council tax is achieved despite Hampshire receiving the third lowest grant per head of all county councils. Hampshire receives just £115 formula grant per head, compared to the average for county councils of around £180 and the highest grant, which is £250.
"We have kept our council tax at the same level for four years running. With further grant reductions, increasing pressures on social care, particularly for the elderly, and inflation all adding at least £30m to £40m to our costs every year, we do face a significant financial challenge. But keeping the council tax as low as possible, while providing the best quality services, will remain our priority.
"Acting early and decisively means time is on our side, avoiding the prospect of urgent or drastic decisions.
"Another major benefit for Hampshire is our reserves. Having resources to invest in redesigning services, to make them more efficient, particularly in terms of cost and quality, will deliver better results for residents. Very few other councils are in such a strong position as Hampshire. We must not spend reserves for one-off reductions in tax but we can use them to make the council more and more cost effective.
"Reserves are being used to pay for the transformation of services and to drive out efficiencies for the next stage of savings. Had we had used them to prop up the gaps in the budget they would be drained now, and Hampshire would be in a much weaker position with increasing risks to services."
Funding was set aside in the 'grant equalisation reserve' to soften the blow of the cuts the Council had anticipated and those funds will be used over the next few years to help bridge the gap. Further savings are expected to be made from more reductions in senior management posts, savings in procurement and IT and more rationalisation of office space. Additional savings will come from sharing capacity and costs through more partnership working and building on income opportunities.
Cabinet will also discuss the approved Capital programme, which still stands at well over £500m for the next three years and represents a significant investment in the county's infrastructure and economy. A review is likely to ensure it reflects policy priorities to improve the quality of life for Hampshire residents.
The Cabinet meeting can be watched live or afterwards from the archives.

Oh no. I was told today that the RDO194 tweeters, which is the tweeter replacement for the 10B, is no longer available !!!
Strangely though I tried to get a set last month (March) and was informed that they are still available but Polk was waiting for them to come in. They were supposed to be available in early April. I called this morning to order a set and the gentlemen in the parts department said they were not going to be available - ever again!
So this brings up an interesting question...What the heck am I supposed to do now? Are there any other alternatives? Does Polk monitor these forums? Does anyone want to buy my Polk 10B's? The tweets that are in them today (SL2000's) are still good but I was hoping to upgrade to the RDO194's. Argh!!! Not looking good at all.

Crowds Make a Big Showing at Jetty Park for Final Liftoff
July 8, 2011| Huge crowds gathered at Cape Canaveral's Jetty Park to watch the final launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Before the sun was even up, the park was crowded with well wishers. 90.7s Mark Simpson was there and filed this report.
It was still dark when best friends Susan Hilyer and Louise Hope arrived at Jetty Park. They made a spur of the moment decision to come to Florida from Picken South Carolina to watch the last shuttle flight. Susan is a Science teacher and long-time fan of the space program, "I was 12 when they landed on the moon so it's just always been part of the whole thing. I have all the space movies keep up with all of it".
She had seen one shuttle launch before today's, but it was a new experience for her friend Louise Hope, "I have never seen a launch so I've made a special effort cause I didn't want to miss out on this, it's such a piece of Americana, I can't believe I'm here."
They joined a crowd of people who came from Miami, Tampa, Cocoa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Canada.
Nancy George a Recent graduate from North Eastern State University in Oaklahoma says seeing a Shuttle launch was on her bucket list. Her elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma was named for astronaut Christa McAuliffe, who died in the Challenger accident in 1986.
The School's mascot was the Shuttle Challenger, "all our shirts had the Challenger on it. We had a simulator that each class got to go into and enjoy learning how a space shuttle would work if we were to be an astronaut."
As the crowd waited for liftoff, there was constant speculation about whether mission managers would give shuttle the go for launch.
At the end of the park on a pier stretching along side a jetty, the crowd swelled and listened on small radios to hear what was happening with the launch …..
and then came the magic words the crowd had been waiting for…3-2-1!
A streak of fire rose into the sky for about a minute before Atlantis began darting through the clouds.
It took a couple of minutes before the sound reached Jetty Park.
Fullsail University teacher Rebecca Carroll has seen launches before but she says today's experience was still special, "I thought it was really cool how you could hear the sound after the plume goes through the clouds and then you hear this wave of sound then you hear this wave of vibration and like this deep rumbling and this was totally cool."
Susan Hilyer's best friend Louise Jones was waiting for the important throttle up call during the liftoff, "I remember exactly where I was standing when challenger blew up back in 86. It was right after they said go with throttle up and I always kind of hold my breath and watch but I get all emotional too because its incredible what our country does iwht the space race. I mean they're now traveling 15-thousand miles an hour around the earth just like that. It's amazing."
For Jones, it makes the long trip from South Carolina worthwhile.

Here is the brief summary of what each chapter talks about:
Introduction – This is an introduction to the concepts of security for your Joomla! site. In this section, we introduce the reader to concepts, tools, and ideas.
Chapter 1: Let's Get Started – This foundational chapter gets the reader ready by reviewing terminology, understanding hosting companies and how to select. Learning to architect Joomla correctly at the first, where to download Joomla, its important settings, permissions and trip ups and lastly setting up metrics for security.
Chapter 2: Setting up a Test and Development Environment – Once you have your site planned, setting up a test and development environment allows you to make sure each extension will work together as planned. This chapter gives the reader a methodology to effectively set up and use a test/dev environment, with a review of a great tool, Lighthouse™, for software development project management.
Chapter 3: Tools sets to protect – There are a few key tools every Joomla administrator should have in their security arsenal. This chapter covers the tools used to protect your site.
Chapter 4: Introduction to Vulnerabilities – What is a vulnerability? It is anything that can be used against you to hurt your site. This chapter introduces some common vulnerabilities and how they work.
Chapter 5: Anatomy of Attacks – Specific attacks such as SQL Injections are discussed here, with live examples of code used to attack sites, kiddie-scripts, and other more advanced attacks.
Chapter 6: How the Bad Guys Do It – Do you ever wonder what tools the bad guys use? This chapter covers some of the commonly available tools, and how they are used against you.
Chapter 7: PHP.INI and .HTACCESS – This chapter details out the two important safeguards to your infrastructure. It offers a detailed view with code samples of each of these critical files.
Chapter 8: Log Files – Without a doubt, log files are the first, best indication of a coming attack, yet many administrators do no know how to interpret these critical files, or worse yet, ignore them. This chapter will teach the reader how to read log files and take care of them for forensic purposes.
Chapter 9: SSL – SSL is the guardian of e-commerce on the Internet. In this chapter you will learn how SSL works, where to obtain a certificate, and how to implement it in your Joomla! site.
Chapter 10: Best Practices for Incident Management – Even the best laid plans go astray. If a site is actually hit, you have an incident to handle; this chapter will educate you on some best practices for handling the incident in an effective manner.
Chapter 11: Security Administrators' Reference – Looking for that one bit of information? This chapter is a concise reference to highly important items of security information that will be important to your daily efforts in protecting your site.
In Detail
Joomla! is one of the most powerful open-source content management systems used to build websites and other powerful online applications. While Joomla! itself is inherently safe, misconfigurations, vulnerable components, poorly configured hosts, and weak passwords can all contribute to the downfall of your site. So, you need to know how to secure your website from security threats.
Today every website needs to take security into consideration. Using the knowledge here, your Joomla! site can be ahead of the security threats so prevalent today.
This book will take you all the way from the most basic steps of preparation to the nuts and bolts of actual protection. It is packed full of relevant and real-world topics such as security tools, configuration suggestions, setting up your test and development environment, reading and interpreting log files, and techniques used by bad hackers on the Internet. In addition to this you will learn how to respond to a site emergency should one occur and how to collect the evidence needed to pursue law enforcement action. This book covers Joomla! 1.0.x as well as 1.5.x.
The book provides a concise overview of all the parts needed to construct a defence-in-depth strategy for your Joomla! site. At the end of the book you will have a solid security foundation to take your Joomla! website to a higher level of security than the basic site setup.
Are you concerned about the security of your Joomla! website and you don't know what to do? – read this easy-to-use practical guide and learn how to implement strong security measures.
Book Reviews
Slashdot: "There is a ton of good information here and I recommend the book."
Mylro.org: "Technical books can be sometimes boring, especially when they talk about things you already know. This is not the case with Joomla! Web Security. I enjoyed Tom Canavan's detached writing style and I learned some interesting things that I applied to all my Joomla! websites. What I especially liked was the fact that the book discusses not only the Joomla! part of a website but also the server side and gives some nice hosting tips. If you're a junior or intermediate Joomla! user I would highly recommend it."
JoomlaNYC: "This is "a must" read book for all people that care about the security of a website. The book offers an excellent primer on basic web-security. It is written for the person who has not yet mastered the skills needed to properly secure a website."
This book will give you a strong, hands-on approach to security. It starts out with the most basic of considerations such as choosing the right hosting sites then moves quickly into securing the Joomla! site and servers. This is a security handbook for Joomla! sites. It is an easy-to-use guide that will take you step by step into the world of secured websites.
Who this book is for
This book is a must-read for anyone seriously using Joomla! for any kind of business, ranging from small retailers to larger businesses. With this book they will be able to secure their sites, understand the attackers, and more, without the drudging task of looking up in forums, only to be flamed, or not even find the answers.
Prior knowledge of Joomla! is expected but no prior knowledge of securing websites is needed for this book. The reader will gain a moderate to strong level of knowledge on strengthening their sites against hackers.

Nelson Mandela 1918 - 2013
Nelson Mandela
The passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela has caused the world to reflect on leadership and on its glaring absence across Africa and the globe. His political commitment to a unitary, democratic, multiracial and progressive government in South Africa quickly became a moral commitment as he was tried for crimes against the racist regime that ruled the country, and then thrown into jail for 27 years in the prime of his life. From a jail cell on Robben Island he became a silent and enormous symbol of freedom's potential. He eventually exercised this moral authority to negotiate a peaceful transition to majority rule in resource-rich South Africa, and gain election as its first Black President. Millions of people- millions of youth- in South Africa and around the world participated in liberating South Africa and Mandela was always the potent image of the possibilities of freedom.

I've decided to sell these instead of using them. I've always wanted a pair, but my heart is more in the home audio scene than car nowadays. These are new in box, but not BNIB. In fact, one driver and one tweeter were never even taken out of the original packaging. They used the other ones as a visual display to show customers. So obviously, these have never been installed. These were acquired from a previous Polk dealer that had recently gone out of business.
The only "flaw" is that the coaxial mounts are the ones for the 5250, not the 6500. I'll be attempting to get these from Polk today, after which the price will probably increase slightly.
Recent sales of these on eBay in similar condition has fetched anywhere from $1000-$1200. I'd like to get $750 in my pocket. Offers are welcome though.

Key Lime Gimlet
The orange and grapefruit citrus elements I notice in most gins mix well with lime. Here is my variation on the traditional gimlet which I make with Tangueray No. 10 Gin and key limes.
2 oz Gin
3/8 oz fresh squeezed Key Lime Juice
1/4 to 1/2 oz Sugar Syrup
Half a glass of Cracked Ice
Mix the three ingredients over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with fresh key lime slices added to the glass.
The sugar syrup is usually omitted in the traditional recipe (which uses a lime cordial instead of lime Juice), but for me, real lime juice and sugar syrup make the gimlet much better. I also love he look of the key lime slices trapped in the bottom by the ice, this gives the cocktail just a little ambiance when it is served.
And always remember the aim is not to drink more it is to drink better!
Note: If you are interested in more of my original cocktail recipes, please click this link (Cocktails and Recipes) for more of my mixed drink recipes!

Hey Wolf,
I really enjoy your reviews, especially on the rums. I googled for reviews on Flor de Cana, and your site popped up. I'd love to hear your take on their 4 year old amber, which I like almost as much as the Grand Reserve 7 year.
On the gimlet front, my wife's and my favorite gimlet is the RUM gimlet. Have you tried this combo, and do you tweak your gin gimlet recipe at all for best effect?
Again, I really enjoy your elegant and descriptive reviews. Keep up the good work.
All the best,

I was surffing my local craigslist for a used power amp to power my lsiC center. Found parasound hca 1000 but was told SOLD. Also told he has this Rotel rmb 1095 in mint for $800. Google for similar but can't find any for sale. I have a Adcom 555 for my front already. How's Rotel compare to Adcom? Is $800 a good deal for this beast? How much should I offer?
Thanks in advance!

Product Details
Lincoln Continental 4.6L 1995-2002, 3GD Series Black Dimpled and Slotted Sport Front Rotors by EBC®, 11.6" Rotor Diameter. These replacement front rotors feature both slots and drilled dimples to provide the superior level of cooling needed for high performance street driving, trailer towing, 4x4 use, drifting, and short track runs. Anodized finish provides corrosion resistance on non-contact areas. Recommended for use with EBC Greenstuff 6000/7000, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads.
- Set of replacement front brake rotors
- EBC recommends use with Greenstuff 6000/7000, Yellowstuff, and Redstuff pads
- Angled slots on rotor surfaces allow superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gases
- Round indents in the rotors surface further increase cooling without the risk of cracking that drill-through holes pose
- Rotors feature either gold anodized finish or black anodized finish depending on vehicle make and model to provide corrosion protection for all non-contact areas
- Brake rotors are unidirectional to the left and right side of your vehicle to maximize effectiveness
- 3GD vented centers feature a wider aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides for superior cooling
- EBC recommends a 500 mile break in period with lighter braking application
- 6-month/3,000 mile manufacturer warranty against premature rotor wear under normal driving conditions
EBC pioneered brake rotors with dimple-drilled round indents decades ago to provide a solution to cracking problems that sometimes plague perforated rotors operating under high stress and heat conditions. What makes the 3GD Series Dimpled and Slotted Front Sport Rotors superior is the presence of both these dimpled indents and straight vent slots. Combined, they provide the superior expulsion of heat, water, brake dust, and friction gas that is needed to keep rotors cool and functional during street performance driving in any weather. Additionally, 3GD rotors feature a wider vented aperture for air to pass between both rotor sides, so metal expands evenly during use and the chance of warpage is minimized. 3GD rotors are designed for use with EBC Greenstuff 4x4 brake pads, Greenstuff 2000 compact car pads, Yellowstuff heavy duty 4x4 brake pads, and Yellowstuff / Redstuff pads created for shorter high performance street or track runs and drifting. 3GD brake rotors are anodized to prevent corrosion, and rotors should be fully ready for use after the first 500 miles of moderate brake application.
World-renowned brake experts at EBC have developed over a dozen variations of performance brake components, and each one is crafted to provide a superior level of grip, wear, and performance for uniquely different vehicle sizes, weights, and applications. When the company engineers who created pads that can survive 1,800 degree temperature test runs turn their attention to creating equally impressive brake rotors, you will see rotors finely tuned to deliver impressive looks behind your wheel spokes and last run performance that's as equally impressive as your first. If you've been let down by underperforming brake rotors that didn't last as long as they should, 3GD Series Dimpled and Slotted Front Sport Rotors are designed for the long run. If installed at the same time as a new set of EBC long life brake pads, it's not uncommon for these rotors to last the length of the first set with more than enough life to be used with a second set. All EBC brake rotors are cast to a high metal strength rating of 150 newton meters and are precision CNC machined to be within tolerances of less than 0.05 millimeters. 3GD Series Dimpled and Slotted Front Sport Rotors are the result of relentless testing and refinement, and when better brake rotors are built it is EBC that will build them.214.59Brand: EBC Brakes Part Number: GD7026 UPC: 840655062394
Founded and based in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes is a premiere producer of brake components for passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, ATVs, and even scooters. EBC brake pads and rotors are preferred by fleet operators of emergency vehicles, livery cabs, and by discerning racers all over the world for the effective grip, superior lifespan, resistance to heat buildup, and proper fit they deliver. From the company president down to every employee, EBC strongly believes that brake components that are truly superior must be constructed from the most effective materials and also offer the lowest environmental impact possible. Likewise, EBC will never put their name on any products that cut corners in development, quality control, or are manufactured using sweatshop working conditions where human rights are not valued. When you want the best, most responsible brake components that meet or exceed OEM specification without dealer OEM markup, EBC Brakes is the only name you need to know.

Opera Mini for iPhone -- SPE at Mobile World Congress 2010
We had the opportunity at Mobile World Congress to sit down with Opera co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner Jon S. von Tetzchner and talk Opera Mini browser for iPhone. Now the good news: We've seen the Opera Mini browser on the iPhone, and it is wonderful. The bad news: While we can talk about it till the cows come home, we weren't allowed to take video or even a still picture of it. Them's the breaks.
Assuming Apple allows it in the App Store -- and Opera is pretty confident that it will be -- what iPhone owners would get is for all intents and purposes the same Opera experience we know from Windows Mobile and Nokia phones.
The iPhone's lack of multitasking -- erm, one-app -at-a-time feature -- also isn't a problem. You can duck out of Opera Mobile and then hop right back in without losing where you were browsing or the app having to completely reload itself.
All in all, it looked and felt like a really good browsing experience, and is a choice that iPhone owners should have. So write your congressman. Write your senator. And cross your fingers that the App Store gods give Opera Mini their blessing.
There are 28 comments. Add yours.
With all the dedicated apps I have now I really don't even use Safari anymore.
AT&T would love this to be approved (less data usage)
With all due honesty it's not the surfing that sends the data usage sky high on the iPhone , it's more the streaming/google maps/gps/radio apps . Secondly while I was a huge fan of opera as a blackberry user , safari is hands down the best mobile browser . Hard to get excited about number two being released when you have number 1 on your side, don't get me wrong I will download it BUT unless it offers flash ( which it won't ) or ability to download file to the iPhone ( doubtful) I don't really see it being a threat to safari at all , however this is capitalism and competation equals inovation so let's hope we see opera on the iPhone and other browsers as well .
I can understand using opera on winmo, because pocket IE is (or at leats was when i last used it) dire.
If apple approves this (which i cant see happening under their duplicated functionality rules) they will have an uphill battle to compete with what is agreeably the best mobile browser out there. Mobile Safari.
I wasn't aware we had a browser problem on iPhone. :)
Apart from Flash, I like Safari just fine. Maybe a review sometime soon that shows key points where it bests Safari. Otherwise, me no get it.
I was thinking the other day, it'd be nice if i had a worse browser to choose from.
@cardfan lol
Let Apple block it. Will love to see their ass sued by the European Union in no time.
Sorry fanboys, i like having choice on MY phone.
I already have a browser that came with the iPhone. :roll:
Apple holds too much power, Opera, Adobe Flash Player, google updates and anyone else should promote open system by releasing them for people with jailbroken phone. I regret getting an iPhone for this reason.
Doesn't this "duplicate features that come with the iPhone". Anybody remember the google voice debacle?
@KB it does, technically. But, there are at least dozen alternative browsers in App Store (Check out iDroid Mini, it's awesome).
"Duplicated functionality" is just an excuse Apple uses when it decides not to let someone on their turf. There are audio players, browsers and mail clients in App Store.
Apple just requires any browser to be just an alternative shell for their WebKit engine. That's why Opera probably won't make it to app store.
If you were streaming audio via Opera Mini, would it cut out once you closed the app? That'd be disappointing because I'm always streaming stuff on Safari while doing other stuff.
Yes it would cut out since third party app can't run in the background like apple apps. I know this should be approved but I doubt it. If apple let's this in then that opens the door for Mozilla, Microsoft, and Google.
They might get sued or the EU might get in a tizzy, but the iPhone is not Microsoft and Windows yet with 90% market share.
No it would not cut out read the whole article if you leave the app it restarts at the same place once you reopen it. Thier are a few apps creating thier own multitasking thier is an fm radio app allowing multitasking as well.
I don't see why Apple wouldn't allow it, they allowed iCab in the app store.
If I wanted Opera, I wouldve chosen a Windows Mobile handset, Blackberry, or any other inferior device on the market. I chose an iPhone, so I'll go with what is undoubtedly the best mobile browser out there, accompanied with STILL the best hardware and user interface IMO.
All the pissers and moaners screaming "my phone, my choice" need to direct their attention to the nice warm glass of shut the hell up, located directly in front of them....
IMO you haven't even touched Opera on the iphone/ipod so you need to shut your mouth. Opera Mini/Mobile has many features I wish Safari had. I don't see having more options as a bad thing.
What if when you buy a car they would do the same thing, you can't tint you windows, can't change you sound system and so on.. or anything else that we buy. I could see if they where renting the stuff out but how can a company hold so much power on what we can put on our phone once it's ours? I which company would stop selling their stuff on Itunes and start selling their stuff on other websites. I should have never let go my HTC HD, I made the biggest mistake leaving that go because I wanted the Ipod on my phone. Apple makes really good product but we are individuals and we should all be able to personalise our phone and tweak it to our liking. My old HTC HD was nothing like it was sold to me, it was a great maching but I keep buying the newest phone on the market every year and this year I f_cked up.
El, that may very well be the worst analogy i've ever read.
You own your phone, you can do whatever you want to do with it, but YOU also agreed to Apple's/AT&T TOS, they're not obligated to provide services outside of what they explicitly state that they'll offer... Nothing's holding you back from Jailbreaking your phone, dipping it in hot wax, or whatever else you decide to do with it, but do so with the notion that you're breaking the agreement that YOU AGREED TO.
AT&T didn't force anyone into purchasing iPhone's and signing contracts, nor did Apple force anyone to agree to iTunes TOS, if you check the little box yes then, DON'T COME HERE TO COMPLAIN!
Opera Mini might get approved because it's not really a web browser, it's a proxy browser. It's not doing any code interpretation, which is what's banned by the App Store.
Basically, when you send a request via Opera Mini, the page you're requesting is actually fetched by Opera's servers, crunched down with their special compression format, and then sent in that format to your "browser" which is essentially just showing you an interactive picture. If many people request the same page, it's probably very fast at sending it back because it's already crunched on their end.
However, it does mean they'll break SSL if you're trying to connect to a banking site, for example, so while I might use this if I'm roaming and want to save on data, I wouldn't use it to log into financial info or something else I really care about from a security stand point.
In other words, it's so different from Mobile Safari (which is renders HTML, CSS, and JavaScript locally) that it might have a shot of getting in.
FireFox is whole other kettle of fish, as it's a real browser and an interpreter, which brings with it not only competition, but security exploits all its own -- and Apple hates not controlling what they consider to be infrastructure-level code.
5% speed increase would be nice, I'd like to see some variety in these fronts, I still want my google voice app apple
I don't even want to imagine the chaos Opera mini is going to cause in the iPhone webapp space. Is an Opera optimized app iPhone ready or not? (Well, not since you don't get the iPhone with Opera on it). If they accept Opera then they should accept Firefox as well. Then we get into the web desktop crap CSS. Try using CSS3 on desktop, you have to write every property multiple times, once with webkit- once with moz- and so on.
And then the obvious one: why the hell would you use a browser that is multiple times slower and has a much different support for CSS3. And then why the hell would you build a webapp for that?
Sounds good! Would be nice to have an alternative to Safari...
Apple should just partner up with Opera & make a better web experience! :)
P.s. I already got a name for the browser, just incase if they do pair up..
Safarpra! :D (haha, what an ugly name.)
Would be interesting to try out, I wonder though why other phones cant provide that fast of an experience with Opera?
I think that Opera is way better than Safari itself .... if not taking speed in Hesab

Ext2Fsd: EXT3/EXT4 Support Now Works On Windows 8
Published on 18 June 2014 04:09 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Free Software
24 Comments
The Ext2Fsd project that provides an EXT3/EXT4 file-system driver for Microsoft Windows operating systems was recently updated with Windows 8 support and other changes.
A Phoronix reader
pointed out in the forums
that Ext2Fsd 0.52 was released last month. This recent update was the first release since 2011 and thus brought a fair amount of changes.
Ext2Fsd 0.52 brings Windows 8 support, force-writing support, numerous bug-fixes, and supports many of the EXT3/4 file-system features under Windows. Features still missing from this open-source EXT file-system driver for Windows includes journalling support, extents support, perforance improvements, LVM support, and other functionality.
