Perhaps Han Solo said it best in Star Wars when, describing his hyper-fast smuggling spaceship the Millennium Falcon, he said, "It may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts."
While the Air Force might take exception to being likened to the Falcon, in reality the platypus-nosed X-51A Waverider hypersonic flight test vehicle really doesn't look like much. But it definitely has it where it counts.
On Tuesday, the unmanned 25-foot-long vehicle will be dropped off of the wing of a converted B-52 bomber off the California coast and try to fly for 300 seconds at science fiction-like speeds of Mach 6, over 4,500 mph - fast enough to fly from New York to London in less than an hour.
M Paul Lloyd wrote:As Mr.S points out the Falcon is essentially a weapon and the passenger potential is just a smoke screen I'm afraid.
Shadowwolf wrote:I'd wager that the filtering down on such will be a long time coming.
M Paul Lloyd wrote:...because the US, in their infinite wisdom, feels that the UK is a bit to risky with regard to foriegn influnces to be allowed full access to the full tech' package.
Shadowwolf wrote:Don't think the motor failed, last I heard it was the departing of a control fin from the rest of it that induced an out of control flight path thus negating the chance of success and necessitating the crafts destruction.
But before it could activate its exotic scramjet engine, which should have taken it to Mach 6, a problem with one of its cruiser control fins caused it to lose balance and crash into the Pacific.

For Over Thirty Years, Karen Brown
Has Helped Travelers Plan Perfect Trips
Taormina is on what could be referred to as the Amalfi coast of Sicily and, although the town is lovely and rich with history, it is very touristy. This of course means that rates are on the high side but, happily, the Villa Schuler is affordable. The villa was converted from a private residence to a hotel by the Schuler family over a century ago and now grandson Gerardo is at the helm. The pink façade faces out to the Via Roma and has a large raised terrace with palms and potted flowers. A continental or full brekfast is served either here or in the gazebo where you can enjoy views emcompassing the coastline and the peak of the Etna volcano. The hotel offers standard bedrooms and junior suites. All the rooms have air conditioning, satellite TVs, safes, and terraces or balcony often with a sea views. Behind the building is the hotel's botanical garden filled with a profusion of jasmine, bougainvillea, and geraniums. Located in the garden is a secluded two bathroom suite. The garden opens onto the pedestrian main street of town and it is just a short walk to the cable car that takes you down to the beaches, or you can take the hotel shuttle services. For its impeccable service, ideal location and good value, the Villa Schuler is a real winner.
(from KAREN BROWN'S ITALY B&B Guide, Exceptional Places to Stay & Itineraries 2010).

Vacuum Cleaners
Research for healthy vacuum cleaners.
Vacuum cleaners should provide the means for a healthy intervention in the indoor environment by safely removing any biocontaminants present and preventing the introduction of harmful pollutants and particles during the vacuuming process.
With core expertise in the area of preventing ill health due to indoor air pollutants, airmid's scientists apply their skills to evaluate the complex interactions of biological and physical properties associated with vacuum cleaner products.
We recognise the importance of designing studies that closely replicate what is happening in real life in the home or indoor environment. Our experiments utilise proprietary test dust scientifically proven to have particle size distributions and bio-burdens representative of those occuring in a typical indoor space.
Combining state of the art air sampling and particle counting in a highly sophisticated ASTM chamber with molecular biology in our adjacent microbiology facilities, we specialise in measuring both surface and airborne bacteria, molds, allergen, viruses and other toxic ultrafine particles. This provides our customers with a complete solution for healthy living and label claim validation.
We have experience in traditional filter based designs, as well as cleaners that incorporate steam, UV, heat and robotic technology.
An environmental and health assessment of a vacuum cleaner technology is likely to generate data that is publishable given the high relevence of the topic. Should this be appropriate and desired by our client, airmid healthgroup will assist in research dissemination through relevant media streams, such as scientific journals, industry publications or general interest media.

Notice: This is the official website of the All Empires History Community (Reg. 10 Feb 2002)
Section VIII of Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to call forth the militia to suppress insurrections.
The President has the legal right to send U.S. troops into battle on his or her own authority by virtue of Article II, Section 2, in the Constitution, which deems the President the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the United States.
The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is justified by the Constitution for the United States of America. The United States Constitution says in Article I, Section 9, Clause 2, that the writ of habeas corpus may be suspended in time of a foreign invasion or a domestic rebellion if the public safety requires it.
If the Southern states of the United States of America possessed the legal and constitutional right to secede peacefully, then indeed virtually all of President Lincoln's actions in defense of the United States of America were constitutionally illegitimate. However, secession cannot be squared with either the conditions necessary for constitutional government (free elections, majority rule, government by consent, and equal protection of equal rights) or the textual provisions of the United States Constitution. What some Southerners called "secession" was, in light of the U.S. Constitution and the social contract principles of the American Founding, a rebellion. If the purpose of secession is to protect a minority from an oppressive majority, then any argument for a state to secede legally and peacefully from the Union must be an argument for counties to secede from states. And any argument for counties to secede from states must be an argument for towns to secede from counties, neighborhoods from towns, families from neighborhoods, and so on. The ultimate and irreducible minority is the individual citizen. Again, if the purpose of secession is to protect a minority against the majority, why may not a individual citizen secede whenever he or she is displeased by the laws or policies under which he or she lives? And after individuals become convinced that they have a legal right to secede, and that each individual has the legal right to reject the outcome of any election with which he or she happens to disagree with, does not civil society under law become impossible?
In principle, secession implies that no law can be truly binding, and that anyone who dislikes a law has the right to declare himself or herself exempt from it's reach. This is why President Lincoln argued in his first inaugural address that "the central idea of secession is the essence of anarchy."
A state of anarchy, or a state of lawlessness is characterized by the rule of might, or brute force. President Lincoln understood clearly that secession represents nothing less then a movement away from civil society back towards the state of nature and anarchy, as well as a movement away from freedom under law toward slavery without law.
Once it is agreed that the states did not possess a legal right of secession, the questions becomes very different: if the states had waged an armed rebellion against the Federal Government, to what extent under the U.S. Constitution, could the Federal Government use it's power to suppress it?
In the case of the American Civil War, the Confederate strategy for victory differed from that of the U.S.A. For the Confederacy, it was mainly a war of attrition. In principle, the C.S.A. did not need to win a single battle to secure victory: it needed only for the U.S. Military to tire and go home.
For the U.S.A., victory, that is, complete suppression of the rebellion, required nothing less then completely vanquishing the hostile rebel forces. How far would the Union go--how far *should* they go--to accomplish this goal?
Many Southerners, those who remained in the South, were numb and incoherent by the war's end in April of 1865, filled with terror, anxiety, hatred, gloom and depression, Yet, as commander in chief, President Lincoln had a duty to ask hard questions of war strategy. What must the Union Army do to win?
Consider also the precedent being set. If a nation of people agrees to settle their political disputes through free elections and ballots, and then some who cannot win decide to resort instead to bullets in order to achieve the results they desire, may a president use bullets to vindicate free elections and ballots? If a president does not defend the results of a free election, does that not set the precedent that whatever cannot be attained through free elections may be attained by threats and physical violence?
And if that becomes the accepted standard for settling political disputes, why will anyone place any stock in importance or value elections? If physical violence becomes the standard, is it not wiser to invest in bullets and pay no attention to ballots?
It is a hard truth for many modern critics to accept, but in the face of violent rebellion, violent force on the part of the Federal Government may be the necessary response. As President Lincoln's law partner, William Herndon, asked rhetorically, "Does Lincoln suppose he can crush--squelch out this huge rebellion by pop guns filled with rose water?"
President Lincoln argued that secession ultimately represents a rejection of constitutional government and government by free election. He characterized American constitutionalism as that process through which political disputes are decided by ballots instead of bullets. "Our popular Government has often been called an experiment. Two points in it our people have already settled--the successful establishing and the successful administering of it. One still remains--it's successful maintenance against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it. It is now for them to demonstrate to the world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion; that ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets, and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided there can be no successful appeal back to bullets; that there can be no successful appeal except to ballots themselves at succeeding elections. Such will be a great lesson of peace, teaching men that what they cannot take by an election neither can they take it by a war; teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war." - President Lincoln President Lincoln here described free government operating by majority rule at the ballot box. But the majority rule presupposes the equal rights of all those who will compose the majority and the minority. The rights of some can never be the legitimate object of political dispute; they cannot be put up for vote in an election because they are the very ground of free elections. Free government results from a voluntary compact between each individual and the whole and between the whole and each individual, and the purpose of government will be to protect the equal rights of all who have agreed to the compact, whether they belong to the majority, or a minority. With the guarantee that their rights will be secure regardless of the outcome of an election, the recourse for a losing minority is the next election in which they can try to become the new majority. But the ones who do not win the election must accept its results for the sake of peace and wait to try again. The Southern argument for secession was based precisely on a refusal to accept the result of a free, legal, and legitimate election. Now contested, President Lincoln explained, was "the position that secession is consistent with the Constitution--is lawful, and peaceful." But he quickly showed the injustice of secession as the United States, as one union, had accepted certain debts and responsibilities. "The nation purchased, with money, the countries out of which several of these States were formed. Is it just that they shall go off without leave, and without refunding? The nation paid very large sums, (in the aggregate, I believe, nearly a hundred millions) to relieve Florida of the aboriginal tribes. Is it just that she shall now be off without consent, or without making any return? The nation is now in debt for money applied to the benefit of these so-called seceding States, in common with the rest. Is it just, either that creditors shall go unpaid, or the remaining States pay the whole? A part of the present national debt was contracted to pay the old debts of Texas. Is it just that she shall leave, and pay no part of this herself?" President Lincoln also reminded Americas that the presented themselves as union bound together by a government when they sought loans from foreign countries. "Again, if one State may secede, so may another; and when all shall have seceded, none is left to pay the debts. Is this quite just to creditors? Did we notify them of this sage view of ours, when we borrowed their money? If we now recognize this doctrine, by allowing the seceders to go in peace, it is difficult to see what we can do, if others choose to go, or to extort terms upon which they will promise to remain." President Lincoln then inquired about the national constitution the Confederates had already ratified and whether they had incarnated secession as a legal feature of their constitution. "The seceders insist that our Constitution admits of secession. They have assumed to make a National Constitution of their own, in which, of necessity, they have either discarded, or retained, the right of secession, as they insist, it exists in ours. If they have discarded it, they thereby admit that, on principle, it ought not to be in ours. If they have retained it, by their own construction of ours they show that to be consistent they must secede from one another, whenever they shall find it the easiest way of settling their debts, or effecting any other selfish, or unjust object. The principle itself is one of disintegration, and upon which no government can possibly endure. " President Lincoln here repeated a prediction that he had offered in his first inaugural address: "If a minority, in such case, will secede rather than acquiesce, they make a precedent which, in turn, will divide and ruin them; for a minority of their own will secede from them whenever a majority refuses to be controlled by such minority. For instance, why may not any portion of a new confederacy, a year or two hence, arbitrarily secede again, precisely as portions of the present Union now claim to secede from it?" When President Lincoln argued in speech, the Confederacy proved in practice. By 1864, leading Georgians, including Confederate vice president Alexander Stephens and Georgia governor Joseph E. Brown, both of whom vehemently opposed conscription, the suspension of habeas corpus, and the general centralization of confederate governmental power, were leading a movement for Georgia to secede from the Confederacy. Had the C.S.A. endured any longer then it actually did, it is highly likely that the Confederacy would have been dissolved by multiple internal secessions. In principle, secession stands opposed to the very idea of government A government posses the power to govern, to command, to rule. To say that a state (or any other group) posses the legal right of secession is to say that the government over it is not truly a government, that those who want to secede can ignore it's laws. In principle, the difference between government and secession is truly the difference between government and anarchy, as President Lincoln argues. If secession is right, then government is impossible. If government is impossible, only anarchy (or despotism) remains. But President Lincoln believed government--good government, at least--was both desirable and possible. And he believed he was conserving the principled arguments of the Founders regarding the ends and means of our government.
I think that the first and most important thing to understand about the American Founders political project is that the United States of America was founded upon an idea. While most countries throughout history trace their origins and their claim to rule to some ethnic or sectarian religious tradition, the American Founders proposed to form a new political society upon an abstract idea: That all humans are born free and equal and that the purpose of any legitimate government is to protect the equal natural rights of all the people who live under it. But that still leaves an important question: If all humans possess equal rights by nature, what means should be employed to protect those rights? The Founders looked to human nature for an answer. James Madison famously asked in "Federalist 51", "What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary." If men were angels, that is, if men were wholly good and wholly reasonable, there would be no need for government because every man would naturally respect the rights of others without government or law. But men are not angels. In addition to his reason, man possess selfish passions and appetites; sometimes men follow these passions and violate the rights of others. Thus, there is a need for some way to restrain the baser and often destructive elements of human nature. Government meets that need. The same human nature that indicates the need for government also indicates the need that the government's foundation be legitimate, that is be based on the consent of the governed. Traditionally, most governments in human history have operated without the consent. Pharaohs, kings, and emperors have claimed special dispensation from God that supposedly authorized them to rule over other humans without their sanction. In the United States of America, these traditions were rejected. From the simple observation that human beings are not angels, it follows that absolute, or unlimited, government is unsuitable for human beings. The only form of government appropriate for beings of limited wisdom and limited goodness is government of limited power. When governments become too large and too powerful, governments represents a threat to, rather then a protector of, the rights and happiness of the people. This underlies Madison's famous statement in "Federalist 51": "If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." To limit the powers of the government, the Founders defined and distributed those powers in a written constitution. The United States Constitution aims to keep the separate powers in separate "hands", making it difficult to combine and exercise political power for tyrannical purposes. Further, the Constitution provides a fairly specific list of what government can and cannot do. ......But one cannot honestly read the United States Constitution and fail to notice it *does* establish a national government, one that is more then a mere confederacy of states.

Sprecher Brewings and Doings
30th October 2009
The weekend is fast approaching, so we must cheer: High School playoffs; the Badgers (On Wisconsin!); and the Packers (dunh, dunh, da…Go Pack Go!). Our friends at ESPN 540 are covering all the Homestead Highlanders Division 1 playoff games (with a little support from Sprecher) since Homestead won't be able to play any games on their home field (paperwork snafu). For those of you not near a radio during game time, here's a hint: you can get the playoff Sprecher tour special (buy 1 get 1 free) by calling 414.964.2739 and saying the magic words: "Division 1 Playoffs!" when you make your tour reservations.
Indeed, it's Halloween weekend. Ghosts and goblins of all ages are welcome to take the extra scary tours, full of treats; no tricks. Sprecher is a Halloween Safe Spot again this year. P.S. It's officially trick or treat in Glendale 1-4pm on Saturday so you can score some extra candy from the neighbors when you visit the brewery.
Football, Halloween, Fall…its time for some great beers that compliment the sports, weather, foods and smells of the season. Recently bottled: Sprecher Dopple Bock. If you like a smooth lager with suggestions of caramel and dark roasted malts, try this divine beverage in a snifter or wine glass. At 8.0% ABV, this is a great beer for lingering over. Serve it at 50-60 degrees for maximum aromatics and flavor. Great match for steaks and stews, or after dinner dark chocolates. Also available: Bourbon Barrel Aged Dopple Bock…total treat.
Not seen since the 90s, but back in the bottle now: Sprecher Dunkle Weizen. Note the intriguing spelling. That's the only thing that's a wee bit different. That and the fact it's available in a 12oz bottle in the Sprecher Gift Shop. This is the same classic dark roasted malt ale that is the ultimate session beer for this time of year. 4.65% ABV, serve at 45-50 degrees. Drink with good friends and great food.

Vanish Is A Surreal Audio Visual Journey Through Mundane Objects
'VANISH' is an experimental short film made by musician Davide Cairo and media artist Daniel Schwarz – a short journey through a surreal landscape. Unlike most films both the music and video were created in parallel with each other - the main direction of the production being defined by the artists choice of objects (they picked whatever was lying around) and the sounds they made.
Their decision to use mundane objects led them to using ice, porcelain, wood, metal and balsamic vinegar. This limitation developed into a film that fused artificial and natural landscapes, spaces that act as both the projection surface for the visuals as well as the sound material. As the musician on the project Cairo wrote a score that worked in perfect harmony with the visual aspect of the film created by Schwarz whose images were based on the visual language of the objects.
Here's what the artists had to say about the work:
Through real-time sound analysis and a vast variety of algorithms, each sound finds its embodiment in different geometrical representations, depending on volume, pitch, note, and characteristic.
It's an interesting experiment. Audio and visual truly separated and reunited. A beautiful short film. I thought I'd post up the 'Making Of…' photos from the project as they seem to bear absolutely no relationship to the final film.

Welcome to Pension watch
Pension watch is a comprehensive online resource on non-contributory (social) pensions.
Four out of five older people worldwide have no access to a pension. Social pensions are non-contributory cash transfers paid regularly to older people. They are widely acknowledged to be one of the most effective social protection tools to reduce old age poverty and invest in human capital development. They can help older people live with dignity and support the realisation of the human right to an adequate standard of living. Find out how much a social pension would cost in your country, visit our knowledge centre or download our social pensions database.

There was no monthly report on december, as that month, as expected, was busy for me; I also didn't created new content, only improved what already existed for the game.
It isn't a monthy report already, but I bring you this time the first steps of the game Intro video, for those who like to see the earlier development of the game components, check it at www.indiedb.com/games/questverse if you're interested.
I'm aiming to have something playable this month(since I hadn't time on december); but even so, it will not mean much while I cannot personally talk with the creator of BBPlayer, my friend DeltaSpeeds; as it is of knowledge of those who manage to come far enough with their games(using BGE), it allow protection of the game assets(graphics, sounds, etc), selectively allowing acess to the desired parts of it only. It is also a kind of end user executable with a friendlier license.
So... that is all for now friends! Until the next post and thanks for your visit.

LETTER: Ready for next step after Kingston Catholic School
Dear Editor: I am an eighth-grade student at Kingston Catholic School. This has been my "home" since pre-kindergarten. My parents chose to send my brother and me to Catholic school to nurture our faith and to receive a firm academic foundation. Attending Kingston Catholic School has instilled in me a constant reminder of kindness, respect and love for my classmates and teachers, along with a greater love of God and respect for myself. My faith is a big part of my life. I was baptized and welcomed into the Church. I received my first Holy Communion in second grade. This year I will be confirmed as an adult in the Church. My brother, Thomas, will stand beside me as my sponsor. On Jan. 27, we began Catholic Schools Week with a Family Mass at St. Mary's Church. The days that follow were filled with an array of fun activities, including a Young Author's assembly, Winterfest and a potluck dinner. Together we celebrate friendship with God and each other. We also invite interested students to tour the facility and experience what makes Kingston Catholic School so special. My 10 years have been quite a journey for me. I am graduating this year and will attend John A. Coleman in the fall. I will always remember the respect, kindness and family values that Kingston Catholic nurtured in me. I have a strong faith foundation and a solid academic base. Now I am ready to take the next step. However, I will always look back to see the foot prints that I made as I walked with my faith, friends, family and the faculty at Kingston Catholic School. AVA HRICISAK Kingston

Rather than buying directly from the owners or used car lots, there are many people that opt to buy used vehicles from used car dealerships. This is because used car dealers are more reliable when it comes to buying used cars. And with the economy as it is, you should always look for ways to find the best deals on anything you plan to buy. And speaking of getting great deals, did you know that there are a handful of freebies you can and should ask from dealerships you will buy used cars from? A brand new set of car floor mats is the first freebie you should get when you buy from used autos Charlotte dealerships. Save money buying a new set of car floor mats and ask the dealers to put in brand new ones on the car and don't worry, they will do it unless they want to displease a client over something that will not cost them more than forty dollars or so.
Removing scratches and small dents is another freebie that used car dealers may not be very keen to tell you about. Seriously, would you really spend ten to fifteen thousand dollars on a used car with minor yet obvious body damage? You could learn more at Hertz Car Sales about having them remove the scratches and small dents on the car you will buy. You should not feel embarrassed about demanding this from the dealership – it will not cost them much to remove small scratches or dents; keep in mind that if you have this work done yourself, it will cost you hundreds of dollars in body work.
If it is allowed in your state, another freebie that used car dealers may not tell you unless you ask is they can register your car for you. This is very helpful for people who do not like the idea of going through the process of registering for a vehicle – used or otherwise. You could easily head to Hertz Car Sales to learn more about basic freebies that come with buying used cars. The last freebie is the dealership paying for the sales tax on the used car, keeping always in mind that they usually have a big enough profit margin to accommodate this request. But do understand that of all freebies, this is by far the most difficult to win over and in fact, there are dealerships that would rather lose your business than pay the sales tax. So think it over before making a request.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2010-11 Ready-To-Wear Peter Pilotto 23 February 2010 Dolly Jones IT's hard to believe that Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos have only been showing on the catwalk for two-and-a-half years, so creative and so polished was their show in the Selfridges car park this morning. "I think what was wonderful about it was that they have taken what they do so well and moved it on," said Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman afterwards. "It was a really great show."The graphic printed dresses we know and love them for were still there – but for next winter they will be more textural, with subtle snakeskin prints merging into soft tweed panels or sweeping around the body from shiny metallic ones, with a sudden burst of fur over one hip or shoulder. Each new texture worked as an integral part of the piece, rather than being layered on separately.Gorgeous cropped tweed jackets and shirt dresses displayed a welcome new penchant for tailoring, while skinny leather trousers (sometimes in orange, which might be among the strongest colours next season), or leather slinkie leggings (laces circling all the way down to the ankle), made these looks very cool, and very London.The tailoring was strong too in leather: dark red trousers with high panels at the back, sexy brown jodhpurs or an orange coat - while turquoise, white and grey prints adorned softly draped, but expertly constructed dresses – the perfect example of an effortless look into which every effort has been channelled. One cardigan appeared half in tweed, half in orange leather and a blush silk chiffon blouse featured a quiet tweed print and was wrapped in a fox stole with a metallic silver face. It was a multifaceted collection that was cleverly spun together into one great idea. SEE THE PETER PILOTTO SHOW ARCHIVE With thanks to Mercedes Benz.

There's more than one way to use a Rancher. And there's more than one Rancher you can use. In fact, we've designed six different Rancher models to choose from, with a slew of features that help make the task at hand – or the trail in front of you – easier to tackle. Features like 2WD or 4WD models. Programmed Fuel Injection. Electric Power Steering. TraxLok, which allows you to easily shift between two- and four-wheel-drive, giving you easy steering when you want it, and extra useable traction when you need it. And there are even two transmission types that you can choose: semi-automatic, or our push-button Electric Shift Program. But don't forget what could be the most valuable Rancher features of all: Honda's legendary reliability and dependability. Add it all up, and it's easy to see why the Ranchers are America's best-selling ATVs. Important Safety Information Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.

Don't derail our academic threads with this kind of stuff . ~ Mods
Hello Theophilus,
"How could Joseph Smith NOT have known that?" Well, as Frank Moore Cross wrote: "The problem of the identity of the subject of these imperatives has baffled commentators. Traditionally it has been held that Yahweh here directs prophets in general, Israel's priests, or the remnant of the faithful to proclaim the message of consolation." (see Ibid 275).
Joseph's use of Isaiah 40 in his revelation breaks from all of these traditional interpretations and presents the heavenly assembly as the "voice" and the givers of "consolation."
"Giving us consolation by holding forth that which is to come, confirming our hope!" (D&C 128: 21).
Hope that help.

Installing an Alternate SSL Provider on Android
The Android platform quickly has become one of the most popular mobile operating systems for both developers and end users. As such, security is a high priority, but so is the sometimes-conflicting goal of minimizing resource usage. By default, the Android platform uses OpenSSL to provide Java developers with SSL functionality, but by using CyaSSL instead, developers gain a smaller footprint as well as a faster SSL implementation.
The intent of this article is to provide insight and instruction on how to install an alternative SSL provider on the Android platform, specifically using CyaSSL as an example. After doing so, developers will have the option of using CyaSSL for SSL functionality and will gain the advantages in size and speed that an embedded SSL library offers. Users interested in replacing other pre-installed libraries on Android or developers porting C libraries over from other systems to Android also may find this information useful as a recipe for their own development efforts.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) and its predecessor SSL (Secure Socket Layer) are cryptographic protocols that provide security for communications over networks. Originally created by Netscape, these protocols allow client/server applications to create an encrypted link and ensure that all traffic being sent and received is both private and secure.
TLS and SSL provide this secure layer through the use of public/private key encryption, symmetric encryption, hashing and trusted certificates. A message (the pre-master secret for SSL/TLS) encrypted with a public key can be decrypted only using the associated private key. The public key is usually publicly available, allowing anyone with this key to encrypt a message. Only the owner of that public key may decrypt the message once encrypted with the associated private key. There are multiple cipher suites that may be used by TLS and SSL to create a secure socket.
The Java platform contains a set of security APIs (public key infrastructure, authentication, secure communication and access control), all of which are only interfaces defining a "contract" for provider implementations to meet. This gives Java programmers the ability to use a single API while allowing any desired implementation to be plugged in underneath.
Under this architecture, multiple providers for a service may be installed side by side. In the case of having multiple providers for a service, each provider is given an order of priority in which it should be used by the Java platform. By default, Java will use higher-priority providers first if they offer the desired functionality.
The javax.net.ssl Java API package is responsible for supplying SSL functionality to the Java platform. The diagram in Figure 1 gives a general overview of how SSL providers—or more generally, providers—are organized within the Java platform. Because Android is based heavily on the Java framework and supports this provider design, we are able to install CyaSSL as an SSL provider for Android.
Java security providers are listed and prioritized in a file named java.security on OS X and Linux, or java.properties on the Android platform. On Android, this file is located at /libcore/security/src/main/java/java/security/security.properties. This file is the primary configuration file for Java providers and will be key in the CyaSSL installation process.
First, you need to set up the local build environment to accommodate for the Android build system as well as download the Android platform source code.
To build the Android source files, you should have either Linux or OS X installed on your development machine. At the time of this writing, Windows is not currently supported. Further, the most current version of OS X, Snow Leopard, is not supported due to incompatibilities with Java 6. The remainder of this article assumes that the operating system of choice is 32-bit Linux. Because of the speed at which the Android platform evolves, check the Android Developer Web site for the most current host operating system support.
Instructions for setting up your local work environment for Android development as well as instructions for getting the Android source code can be found in the Android documentation titled "Get Android Source Code", located on the Android Developer Web site. Before continuing, make sure you are able to build the Android platform as is without modifications by following the steps outlined on-line.
Working with and contributing to the Android platform is done through the use of Git and Repo. In Android, Git is used for local operations, such as local branching, commits, diffs and edits. Repo, on the other hand, is a tool built by Google on top of Git. According to Google, "Repo helps manage the many Git repositories, does the uploads to the revision control system, and automates parts of the Android development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of Android."

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Im not saying right now. Im saying if this thing with Nicks drags on and it turns out to be something a lot more serious then what they are saying right now and he is maybe gone for the season or has to be put on that short term IR and we continue to have issues with RR and JJ stepping up and Barden not getting seperation... and we get 4 or 5 more games down the road with say 3 more losses... Then what will be the FOs answer to this problem. Im not saying the answer is number 17. But what would we do? If we already have trouble running and we have no one to throw to do we just tank the season?? I know i am getting way ahead of myself and I trust in the judgement of the FO. They have come through in the past with trusting in the young talent they had and it panned out. Hopefully it will with Barden, JJ and RR as well

There has to be a reason why Plaxico isn't playing somewhere. He came here for an interview and, if I recall correctly, said later on that he was never serious about coming here. He took the guarantee offered by the Jets which made the most sense in his situation. He didn't provide much to the Jets and was cut. Now they are hurting for a receiver and they still don't want him back as is the case with 31 other teams.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
The Jets never cut him, his contract expired. He was actually fairly productive, scoring 8 touchdowns for them (3 came in one game). He did have a pretty low ypg though.
Are we splitting hairs as to "cut" or "not re-signed"? He's a player in decline at best. The last team he played for NEEDS at WR and they've declined. Everyone knows he hates TC and didn't want to play here because he was the HC, preferring to go to Camp Rex.
As far as 8 TDs in 16 games is concerned, that's not a lot to look forward to when you really need a play maker. In the interests of full disclosure, I really don't like Plaxico.
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
if he wanted to play sure he could basically play for vet minumum bet he wants money...show and prove plax

Well, i'm no pacer but every once in a while when me and my brother use to go to practice in the nets, I use to bowl some pace to him (so he wouldn't be accustom to just facing spin bowling all the time). Anyways, I use to deliver the ball at a decent pace. I use to do push ups everyday. The numbers increase as time went by from about 15-25. I have a biggish upper body which I reckon came from doing push ups continuously for a couple of years. Hardly ever did any weight training in my time, probably for 2 weeks then stopped but I did help me get stronger and can give you a powerful burst of energy to get pace.
More than one way but you have to naturally be born with some of it! Look at Brett Lee, age 34 and still letting them go at an electric pace.

Hi mate,
to increase your pace is one thing but you need to watch yourself because you might get injured. Some core strengthening would really help your pace aswell as save your back. Squats will get your legs stronger while rotator cuff strength training will strengthen your shoulders. To bowl quicker from there you need a fast enough run up: not too long, and really hit the crease and drive your right leg through after the delivery stride. and a good follow through. i would need to see your action if you wanted me to have a look. video etc. I hope this helps :) |

The reality is that developing speed takes time. It comes down to horsepower and the nervous system. Every bowler is built differently and genetics play a huge role in how fast you will be able to bowl. Mechanics play a vital role so getting your action right will make a huge difference. Everyone can bowl faster with the right attitude and training methods. You need to work on lower body strength and lower body power through single leg strength exercises and power work. Single leg training just makes sense to me. Bowling requires running in, jumping and landing at the crease and for the most part one foot is in contact with the ground while the other is not. So why would we not train this way? I incorporate single leg training into all my strength sessions, plyometrics and even medicine ball power work. Core strength and stability is also very important. As a bowler you want to be able to control the force generated from the lower body up into the upper extremities where the ball is released without "leaking" energy. Having a strong core will prevent lateral flexion and extension which will prevent injury. To bowl faster you also need good hip and thoracic spine mobility to create disassociation between the hips and shoulders to create a good stretch reflex which is required to generate that extra yard of pace so incorporation drills to improve mobility is essential. You also want to have good pulling strength so lots of rowing type exercises and chin ups.

Renowned restaurants
The chance to sample dishes from the cuisine of prestigious chefs like Paco Roncero, Sergi Arola and Ramón Freixa… Sounds good, right? Treat yourself, and make a reservation at any of their restaurants in the Madrid Region . You'll find most of them in the capital , although there are others dotted around the region. A genuine delight which must be experienced at least once.
Gastronomic events and routes
With the excuse of trying one of the typical dishes, we suggest an outing to any of the places in the Madrid Region which are a must for their gastronomy. To guide you on your way, Madrid recommends these four Gastronomic Routes as a guide: the Northern Route, the Southern Route, the Wine Route, and the Ecological Route. And if you want more, why not try some of the numerous culinary events that take place in Madrid all year round (gastro-markets, congresses, tourist markets…). Check dates.
Practical tips
Advance booking is always recommended before visiting any of the restaurants.
On the webpage of the Madrid Region you'll find a guide in Spanish and English with content on the Gastronomic Routes.
