Pro hockey players aim to combat homophobia with ad campaign

* Campaign to launch Sunday
* 30 U.S. hockey players record tolerance ads
* Backers see environment of "casual homophobia"
By Scott Malone
BOSTON, March 4 (Reuters) - Thirty players in the National Hockey League have joined a campaign intended to promote gay and lesbian equality in sports with a television ad that will premiere during Sunday's matchup of the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins.
The campaign, called "You Can Play," aims to combat what its organizers call an atmosphere of "casual homophobia" in locker rooms, in which slurs are carelessly used, creating a difficult atmosphere for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender athletes.
"You've got this thing where people don't think there are, or choose not to believe there are, gay athletes in their locker rooms," said Patrick Burke, a talent scout for the Philadelphia Flyers who is one of the co-founders of the program.
Burke said he hoped the campaign could help to persuade closeted pro athletes to identify themselves publicly, so that they can serve as role models for school-age gay and lesbian athletes.
At the moment, there are no players in the four major U.S. sports leagues -- which also include the National Football League, Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association -- who have publicly identified themselves as gay, organizers said.
"You get what we call casual homophobia, with people almost always not realizing the effect it has on the kid in the corner of the locker room who is gay and is trying to keep it a secret," said Burke.
The campaign consists of a series of video clips initially starring 30 professional hockey players, with the athletes telling the camera "if you can play, you can play" -- meaning they are concerned with their teammates skill on the ice, not their sexual orientation.
Burke declined to name any of the participating athletes ahead of the debut of the first ad.
It has echoes of the national "It Gets Better" Campaign, launched in 2010 by syndicated columnist Dan Savage in response to a number of suicides by teenagers who were bullied because of their sexuality.
But "You Can Play" focuses solely on acceptance of gay athletes in sports, said Burke, whose brother Brendan, a manager of the Miami University ice hockey team, came out as gay in 2009 and died a year later in a car accident.
The Burke family is closely tied to professional hockey, with Patrick and Brendan's father Brian Burke the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
While the "You Can Play" campaign starts with NHL players, Burke aims to recruit athletes from other professional and college leagues.
"If you're a young gay hockey player who doesn't have a role model in the adult world, that's a lot harder than if you can look up and say, 'That guy is gay and he did it.' That puts things into a whole new light."
The ads were produced by premium cable TV network HBO, a unit of Time Warner Inc, and will first air on NBC television, owned Comcast Corp and General Electric Co.

There's a fascinating tale to be told in The Monuments Men, George Clooney's new film based on the true story of a search for looted art stolen by the Nazis during World War II. In real life, with fighting still raging on the battlefields of Europe, a small team of art experts searched urgently for tens of thousands of missing paintings and sculptures. The movie's audience will search for something a little different.
It's the spring of 1944 when middle-aged museum curator George Clooney tells middle-aged art restorer Matt Damon that he's got the go-ahead from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to head for the Continent. The only catch: He's got to go as an enlisted man, with everything that entails.
Damon's character is skeptical. "You want to go into a war zone and tell our boys what they can and cannot blow up?"
That's the idea, he's told — though commanders on the front won't be terribly sympatico when they get there. He's even more skeptical about the notion of their joining a whole cultural-over-the-hill-gang in basic training.
And when we meet the gang, it's evident why. There's a disgraced museum director straight from Downton Abbey (Hugh Bonneville), an artist straight from The Artist (Jean Dujardin), a bickering odd-couple of non-artist hangers-on (Bill Murray and Bob Balaban), and a sculptor (John Goodman) who drags himself through a basic-training obstacle course with cheerful abandon, assuming erroneously that the teenagers firing just over his head are shooting blanks.
You needn't worry for a while, though, because Clooney not only acts in and directs this high-spirited little epic — which seems to want to be the best World War II movie of 1963 — but he also co-scripted, and he has a lot to get off his chest before anything much can happen.
Get off his chest not in dialogue, exactly, but in speeches — patriotic ("We must and will win this war"), noble ("We're fighting for a culture and a way of life"), expository ("It's not random, it's systematic; every one of those paintings is a masterpiece"), lofty ("Remember the high price that'll be paid if the very foundation of modern society is destroyed") and philosophical ("You can wipe out a generation of people, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll come back, but if you destroy their achievements, their history, it's as if they never existed").
I'm guessing audiences would get the point without all the pointing, but credit the director-star-producer-co-writer with making a film that almost no one else in Hollywood could have gotten made. And credit his buddies for being good sports in it. Damon, for instance, isn't so much playing a part as playing a walking bad-French joke, who's mocked by Cate Blanchett in an Australian-French accent. (The crust!)
Thing is, though, they're all working hard to liven-up what turns out to be a surprisingly lackadaisical race against time. There's lots of information, some nice images, plenty of earnest sermonizing about culture and almost no suspense, or tension, or character development, or structure. Or, well, art.

OMG. I finally found a place to have wonderful,affordable,delicious,REAL Mexican food in SLC! I wandered in to Chunga's one day and I have kept coming back almost every week. It's not much to look at...but the food makes up for the decor. The owner is there everyday with a smile and all of the employee are working hard to serve up some awesome food. I haven't tried the Tacos El Pastor....yet. But I hear only good things about it (Pineapple & Pork....yum!). I'm way too hooked on the chicken enchilada's right now and I will probably be eating those for a while....cuz it's amazing! The service is quick and always served with a smile and friendly small talk. The prices are GREAT....really, I think it's very reasonably considering that they only use high quality food products and don't skimp on anything. If I had one little complaint it would be that they don't have pinto beans. only black beans....which are good, but I would prefer pinto beans. But the BEST part is the rice! Thank you Chunga's for NOT putting peas & carrots in your rice (cuz that's super yucky!) I LOVE the sauces and the whole pieces of chicken breast they use in the enchilada's The cheeses are great and the chips and salsa are delicious. This will be THE Salt Lake destination once word gets out! Hurry in to Chunga's and order up the BEST Mexican food in Utah!

I love to cook but its not without its downside of course. I may love whipping up a storm but I sincerely hate the washing up I've created and cooking up a lot of things in a wok, griddle pan or things in saucepans that have a sauce makes the washing up so much harder. Stuck on food is a pain for most of us and no matter how hard I scrub I always either damage my pots and pans or end up putting my arm out with scrubbing. I have in the past left things to soak for a days and still food isn't removed after all that effort which is why i spotted these soap filled pads in Asda costing a mere 46p I decided that they had to be worth a go!

If you have read any of my earlier reviews then you are likely to know that I am a big fan of the supermarkets own ranges which give me savings by spending less on posh packaging. This packaging gets thrown in the bin anyway so it makes no difference if it is cheap and no frills. I have found that many of the products from these ranges have been really good, which actually surprised me when I started trying them. On that basis, I have been quite keen to try different things and save cash at the same time. A pack of 15 of these pads cost me just £0.41 which was quite a lot cheaper that most of the competing brands. As with all items in the range, ... Read the complete review

My pans are all stainless steel and whenever anything gets burnt onto the bottom it's a nightmare to get them clean. I've tried those sponges with a green scouring layer but they often aren't strong enough to get rid of most burnt on stuff, so instead I use these which are essentially a cheaper version of Brillo pads. The pads come in a plastic tray, which is wrapped in a green and white plastic wrap. It's very basic packaging, but functional, and I was pleased that these came in a plastic tray, as I once bought some from Wilkinsons which came in just a plastic packet, and pink powder leaked all over the place from one of the corners!

I love housework and I love a nice clean home like we all do and I use and buy lots of cleaning products to help make cleaning an easier chore, I have the branded pads many times before but since I had been on a budget when I bought these pads I thought the price was very good to give them a try to see how we got along together. They come in a plastic carton and a plastic wrapper, inside there are 15 pads, they are a good size of around 2 inches x 1 inch, they are a wire wool pad and they are coated in a pink coloured dusting of powder, they have a slight fragrance to these ones although they look very basic inside the packet as the packaging is very plain ...

ST. PAUL — Most of Minnesota cropland experienced below normal rainfall in the past six months. As a result, soil water levels are low. Normally, soils "recharge" moisture during the fall season when rainfall occurs and plant uptake is nearly non-existent.
This recharge also occurs with spring rainfall when most crops aren't in yet to consume the moisture. Data from the University of Minnesota's Southwestern Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton indicated that soil water recharge and crop usage is not in a normal pattern this spring.
When the ground froze last fall, there were about 3 inches of plant-available water in the 5-foot soil profile, with most of it below 2 feet. A normal profile would hold closer to 10 inches of plant-available water. Add to this the below-normal snowfall that did not add significantly to spring recharge.
Most tillage done last fall was aided by winter snowfall. Fall chisel plowing provided a rough surface that provides divots for water storage during snow melt and early spring rains.
Conservation tillage done last fall is also aiding in soil moisture retention by leaving significant residue in the fields, reducing soil water evaporation and increasing infiltration during spring rainfall. Last fall tillage was difficult at best because of the dry conditions. Large, hard clods were created with the fall tillage. It looks like the moisture we did get this winter mellowed the clods enough that a tillage operation will be able to create a good seedbed this spring.
Keep tillage minimal this spring to conserve soil moisture and maintain residue on the soil surface. Seedbed preparation must be the goal of spring tillage.

Louisville, Ky. • It took a while for Jae Crowder and Marquette to get going.
When they finally did, however, Murray State's hopes of making its first trip to the regional semifinals never stood a chance.
Join the Discussion | |
Post a Comment |
Crowder scored six points during a decisive 14-2 run late in the second half, and No. 3 seed Marquette held on for a 62-53 victory that sends the Golden Eagles to the West Regional semifinals Thursday in Phoenix. Crowder finished with 17 points, 12 in the second half, and 13 rebounds, and Darius Johnson-Odom added 17 for Marquette (27-7).
Isaiah Canaan had 16 points for the sixth-seeded Racers (31-2), who fell just short of their first trip to the regional semifinals for the second time in three years. Jewuan Long added 12 points, and Ed Daniel tied a career high with 14 rebounds.
Donte Poole, Murray State's second-leading scorer, managed only seven points, half his average. Poole was playing with a nose broken by an inadvertent elbow during Thursday's game.
Marquette had a decided size advantage — Racers coach Steve Prohm joked Crowder and Johnson-Odom were missing spring practice somewhere — but it was out of sync for much of the game. Murray State, meanwhile, got stronger as the game went on, bolstered by a decided "home court" advantage. When Long made a layup to put the Racers up 46-41 with 7:43 to play, the crowd responded with the kind of roar usually reserved for that other Kentucky team.
But Marquette has made a season out of late runs — Villanova, anyone? — and this game was no different.
Todd Mayo made a pair of free throws, and Crowder banked in a jumper off the glass. Davante Gardner, who missed eight games at the end of the season with a left knee strain, followed with a layup and a pair of free throws to put Marquette back in front 49-46.
Ivan Aska briefly halted the Marquette run with a putback, but the Golden Eagles kept right on going. Gardner made another layup and then Crowder drilled a 3, sending the outnumbered Marquette fans into a frenzy. Even the university president, the Rev. Scott Pilarz, was pumping his fist and screaming, "We are! Marquette!"
Long made another layup to end the four-minute scoring drought, but it was too late. The Racers were just 2 of 12 over the last 7:43.

Commentary on Psalm 129(130)
"A Canticle to Divine Mercy"
VATICAN CITY, OCT. 20, 2005 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of the address Benedict XVI gave at Wednesday's general audience, which he dedicated to comment on Psalm 129(130).
* * *
1. Just proclaimed was one of the best-known and loved psalms of the Christian tradition: the "De Profundis," so called by the way it begins in the Latin version. Together with the "Miserere," it has become one of the favorite penitential psalms of popular devotion.
Beyond its funeral application, the text is above all a canticle to divine mercy and to reconciliation between the sinner and the Lord, a just God, but always ready to reveal himself as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin" (Exodus 34:6-7). Precisely for this reason our psalm is inserted in the Christmas liturgy of vespers and of the whole Christmas octave, as well as in that of the 4th Sunday of Easter and of the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.
2. Psalm 129(130) opens with a voice that rises from the depths of evil and guilt (see verses 1-2). The "I" of the psalmist addresses the Lord saying: "I call to you, Lord." The psalm then develops in three moments dedicated to the subject of sin and forgiveness. There is first of all a turning to God, called directly as "thou": "If thou, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who would stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared" (verses 3-4).
Significant is the fact that what generates respect, an attitude of fear mixed with love, is not punishment but forgiveness. More than the anger of God, his generous and disarming magnanimity must arouse a holy fear in us. God, in fact, is not an inexorable sovereign who condemns the guilty, but a loving Father, whom we must love not out of fear of punishment, but because of his goodness ready to forgive.
3. At the center of the second moment is the psalmist's "I" who no longer addresses the Lord, but speaks about him: "I wait with longing for the Lord, my soul waits for his word. My soul looks for the Lord more than sentinels for daybreak" (verses 5-6). In the heart of the repentant psalmist there now arises expectation, hope and certainty that God will pronounce a word of deliverance and cancel his sin.
The third and last stage in the psalm's development extends to the whole of Israel, the people often sinful and aware of the need of God's salvific grace: "Let Israel look for the Lord, / For with the Lord is kindness, with him is full redemption. And God will redeem Israel from all their sins" (verses 7-8).
The personal salvation, first implored by the psalmist, is now extended to the whole community. The psalmist's faith is inserted in the historic faith of the People of the Covenant, "redeemed" by the Lord not only from the anxieties of the Egyptian oppression, but also "from all guilt."
From the dark depth of sin, the supplication of the "De Profundis" reaches the luminous horizon of God, where "mercy and redemption" prevail, two great characteristics of the God of love.
4. Let us entrust ourselves now to the meditation that Christian tradition has made of this psalm. Let us choose the word of St. Ambrose: In his writings, he often recalls the reasons that lead one to invoke forgiveness from God.
"We have a good Lord who wants to forgive everyone," he reminds us in his treatise on penance, and adds: "If you want to be justified, confess your misdeed: a humble confession of sins loosens the tangle of guilt. ... You see with what hope of forgiveness he leads you to confess" (2,6,40-41: SAEMO, XVII, Milan-Rome, 1982, p. 253).
In the Commentary on the Gospel According to Luke, repeating the same invitation, the bishop of Milan expresses wonder at the gifts that God adds to his forgiveness: "See how good God is, and disposed to forgive sins: not only does he give back what he had taken away, but also grants unexpected gifts." Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, remained mute for not having believed the angel, but later, forgiving him, God granted him the gift of prophecy in the Canticle: "He who shortly before was mute, now already prophesies," observes St. Ambrose, "it is one of the greatest graces of the Lord, that the very ones who denied him confess him. No one therefore should lose confidence, no one should despair of receiving the divine recompenses, even if he is remorseful of past sins. God knows how to change his mind, if you know how to amend your guilt" (2,33: SAEMO, XI, Milan-Rome, 1978, p. 175).
[At the end of the audience, the Holy Father read the following summary in English:]
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today I would like to reflect with you on the "De Profundis," Psalm 129, one of the best-known penitential psalms. It is a celebration of the mercy of God, who is always ready to forgive and to be reconciled with sinners. Even from the depths of his suffering, the psalmist recognizes that God is a loving Father, and for this he reveres him.
From this confidence in God's love springs hope, both for the individual and for the whole people of Israel. Even though they often sin against him, the Lord has redeemed them from slavery and from "all their iniquity."
St. Ambrose, in his Commentary, reminds us that God not only forgives our sins when we confess to him, but he gives us new and unexpected graces. For example, Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, not only had his speech restored when he repented of his doubt, but he was granted the gift of prophecy.
St. Ambrose says this: "Never lose hope in divine forgiveness, however great your sin. With God there can always be a change of heart, if you acknowledge your offense."
[The Pope then greeted pilgrims in several languages. In English, he said:]
I welcome the English-speaking pilgrims at today's audience, including visitors from England, Scotland, Nigeria and the United States of America. I assure all of you here today, and your families and loved ones, of a remembrance in my prayers, and I hope that you will enjoy your visit to Rome. May your pilgrimage strengthen your faith and renew your love for the Lord, and may God bless you all.

SAN FRANCISCO, BERLIN and TETLOW, Germany, December 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
On January 1st 2014, SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) opens an office in San Francisco to focus on eye tracking integration in consumer and industrial applications and to be close to leading Universities in scientific research eye tracking
SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI), a leader in eye tracking technology and application, expands its presence in California with a new office in San Francisco. Having an office in California, the hub of high-tech businesses, allows SMI to lay a stronger focus on the growing opportunities with OEM partners in consumer and industrial gaze based interaction applications and with end users in scientific and research applications. The new presence will play an essential role in serving key SMI customers located at the West Coast including Stanford University, Google, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, HP, Boeing, Sony, Qualcomm, and many more.
After selling its OEM Ophthalmic business unit to Alcon, leader in medical eye care, SensoMotoric Instruments has been growing rapidly due to its leading eye tracking technology solutions and longstanding relationship with best in class partners. SMI has a long track record of innovative product developments. Two years ago, SMI revolutionized the way researchers gain insights into eye movements in real-world environments. This year, the eye tracking specialist further raised the bar and introduced SMI Eye Tracking Glasses 2.0 with a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone recorder. And besides academic and commercial research, there are fascinating new applications for SMI's mobile eye tracking glasses by combining gaze interaction with a new generation of head-mounted displays as Google Glass and others.
Using the eyes to interact with games, consumer and industrial applications creates entirely new user experiences. SMI's flexible contact free eye tracking platform has gained the confidence of global players who seek to integrate gaze interaction technology into consumer devices such as tablets and into assistive and industrial applications. Recently, Sony's Magic Labs announced that they use SMI RED-oem eye tracking to develop new gaze interaction game concepts for the PlayStation 4.
"The last 12 months have been remarkably dynamic for SMI. We continued to push the envelope in all directions: New products and technologies, new partners, new applications driving a continuously and profitably growing business. We have very strong networks in the Bay Area and the new office will help us further expand them," says Eberhard Schmidt, Managing Director of SMI. "We are very grateful for the strong interest from customers and the focus and energy of our team to satisfy it."

UK: Women's wear retailers urged to rethink sourcing strategies
By Leonie Barrie | 15 March 2012
Rising costs and pressure on margins will force women's wear retailers to rethink their pricing and sourcing strategies this year, according to new research, with British manufacturing poised to make a comeback.
In its latest report on 'Womenswear retailing in the UK,' retail analyst Verdict Research says a combination of inflation, a fall in sales volume and discounting to clear stocks will continue to pressure women's wear players in the year ahead.
The average operating margin of Arcadia, Debenhams, M&S, Matalan, New Look, Next, Primark, Tesco and TK Maxx fell from 9.8% in 2010 to 9.0% in 2011, it says, highlighting the margin pressures retailers are facing.
Inflation in women's wear is forecast at 2.6% in 2012 as cotton and freight prices drive up garment costs and retailers raise their retail prices to limit the hit on margin.
However, higher prices and restricted disposable income also mean that shoppers are more cautious with their clothing expenditure - limiting volume growth to just 0.4% in 2012. This weak demand has meant most retailers have resorted to discounting to drive footfall and spend.
"High levels of markdown and discounting in 2012 will lead to increased margin pressure, impacting overall profitability and forcing retailers to rethink cost saving strategies," says Honor Westnedge, analyst at Verdict.
Fast fashion players, in particular, are set to explore UK manufacturing opportunities to offset rising international sourcing costs. The higher cost of labour in China and India, along with high freight charges and import duties have put increased pressure on retailers to raise retail prices or take a hit on margins.
"While labour and production costs may still be more expensive in the UK, freight and import charges are eliminated and it allows for shorter lead times and provides retailers with greater flexibility in repeat runs and short orders - especially retail brands that need to translate styles from the catwalk to the shopfloor quickly," adds Westnedge.
If retailers don't rethink their discounting and sourcing strategies in 2012, the report warns, they risk diminishing profitability, since "the level of discounting currently seen at retailers is not sustainable in the long term."
"Margins cannot continue to be eroded and consumers will be ever more reluctant to pay full price for garments."
The report also forecasts that Marks & Spencer will hold the biggest share of the UK women's wear market in 2012 with 11.6%, followed by Arcadia/Bhs (8.1%), Next (6.9%), Primark (6.2%), New Look (3.5%), Asda (3.2%), Debenhams (2.9%), TK Maxx (2.8%), Matalan (2.7%), H&M (2.5%), and Tesco (2.1%).

Microsoft's cash-for-apps pitch to devs smells like desperation, says analyst
$100 per published app makes company look like a cheapskate, adds another
Computerworld - Microsoft yesterday kicked off a promotion that rewards Windows 8 and Windows Phone developers $100 for each app that they publish in the company's app stores.
Dubbed "Keep the Cash," the promotion is Microsoft's first overt cash-for-apps program, a tactic rivals Google and Apple have never used to attract submissions.
To one analyst, the $100-per-app pitch was an ill omen.
"It looks a little desperate," said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy. "It sends the message that Microsoft is having a hard time building out its app categories. And it doesn't bode well for the Windows Store."
Microsoft distributes Windows 8 and Windows RT "Modern" apps -- the full-screen, tile-based software formerly tagged as "Metro" -- through the Windows Store; smartphone apps, which do not run on Windows 8 or Windows RT, are channeled through the Windows Phone Store, a separate mart.
Keep the Cash will award a $100 virtual Visa card -- good only for online purchases -- to a developer for each app he or she publishes, with a maximum payout of $2,000 total for 10 Windows Store apps and 10 Windows Phone Store apps. Those apps must be submitted and published to the appropriate Store by June 30. Microsoft said it's capping the number of rewarded apps at 10,000, meaning it's putting $1 million on the line.
The promotion is intended to delivery quantity, not necessarily quality, the experts said.
"Clearly, they'd like to populate the stores as quickly as possible with more apps," said Ezra Gottheil of Technology Business Research. "But it seems they want to try to pull in the 13-year-olds, because $100 is not at all meaningful to an established developer. Maybe they're looking for the next generation of kid geniuses, and hoping to find the next killer app that comes out of nowhere."
Currently, the Windows Store has nearly 49,000 apps, according to the MetroStore Scanner, a website that uses a counting algorithm created by Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft. Miller stopped tallying apps last December.
"They're trying to spur interest," said Miller in an interview today. He agreed with Gottheil that Keep the Cash was aimed at amateurs and hobbyists. "But I'd rather see a smaller number of high-quality apps than a larger number of lower-quality apps,"
That was Moorhead's point as well.
"This doesn't solve their fundamental challenge, which is to get A-list apps onto the app store," said Moorhead. "What they're going for is the long tail, a very long tail [of the number of apps], which is important, but it doesn't solve the problem that they have, such as the lack of a Facebook app, the lack of support for important apps like Time-Warner's TWC-TV."

I am a self-confessed "Geek Dad" who runs a Minecraft Server for my 8 year old son and his cousin, and now lots of other kids around the world. Older kids and adults also welcome to play, as long as you follow the rules.
The server is closely monitored and any inappropriate behaviour is quickly culled. Anti-swearing plugins are installed to prevent profanity as much as possible. My aim is to provide a safe gaming environment for anyone of any age who wishes to play Minecraft on-line without being exposed to foul language and abusive play.
The server has a number of worlds, including Survival and Creative.
It is a NO PVP server.

our mailing list. It's so wizard.
It's a hot day for rap beef. After Clipse frontman Pusha T released his new single, "Exodus 23:1″, which many interpreted as a dis towards the Young Money camp, Wayne took to Twitter to release the following statement, ahem, "Fuk pusha t and anybody that love em".
"Contract all f—-d up / I guess that means you all f—-d up / You signed to one n—a that signed to another n—a that's signed to three n—-s / Now that's bad luck," may be the lines of the song that Wayne took offense to.
This feud goes back a few years, dating back to 2006, as well chronicled today by Miss Info.

pcap_io: Only check byteswapped linktype if pcap magic is swapped In pcap_validate_header() the linktype and the byte-swapped linktype are currently checked against the supported linktypes. Since the swapped linktype is always larger than LINKTYPE_MAX, only one of the two tests was actually done. Make this intention a bit more clear by explicitly checking only for either the swapped or non-swapped linktype, depending on whether the pcap magic is swapped. Also make the error messages a bit more verbose regarding the major/minor version. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <firstname.lastname@example.com>
dissectors: ethernet: Handle multicast/broadcast addresses properly Until now, we just looked up the vendor string based on the OUI for each MAC address. Thus, multicast and broadcast addresses were just printed as "Unknown" which is a bit misleading. Improve this situation by checking bit 0 of the 1st octet of the address and by checking for the broadcast address if it is set. If a multicast/broadcast address is found, the respective string is returned. In all other cases, the existing OUI lookup is done. In the future we might extend this mechanism to look up well-known multicast addresses. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <email@example.com>
dissectors: Get rid of unecessary includes of protos.h This header is actually only needed in dissector_eth and dissector_80211, so remove the other users accordingly. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <email@example.com>
build: Set SHELL make variable to bash if possible On Debian/Ubuntu systems, /bin/sh is /bin/dash which doesn't understand the -e option to the `echo' builtin. Thus the build output looks something like the following: Building netsniff-ng toolkit (0.5.8-rc5+) for x86_64-linux-gnu: Building netsniff-ng: -e CC dissector.c -e CC dissector_eth.c -e CC dissector_80211.c ... Prevent this by setting SHELL to /bin/bash if it exists on the system, otherwise stick to /bin/sh. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <firstname.lastname@example.com>
netsniff-ng: Exit gracefully for all possible termination signals Handle all termination signals that we're allowed to handle (SIGKILL can't be handled) in order to exit gracefully in any regular termination case. Without this fix, pcap files written by netsniff-ng might be corrupted. Reported-by: Mike Westmacott <email@example.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <firstname.lastname@example.com>
trafgen: Don't modify optarg/argv Follow commit bed9b6bb ("netsniff-ng: Don't modify optarg/argv"). We shouldn't modify optarg (and thus argv) since it's e.g. used to display the commandline string in `ps'. Since strtoul() reads until it encounters the first non-numeric character and ignores the rest, we can just revert from setting a NULL byte after the numeric part of the string. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <firstname.lastname@example.com>
debian: compile fix for programs using ncurses For some reason the Debian ncurses version does not contain a ncurses.pc pkg-config file. Fix this by echoing "-lncurses" if the command fails: pkg-config --libs ncurses This fix will make ifpps compile on Debian Squeeze 6.0.8. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <email@example.com>

Another good product from Scotch.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Scotch® Clear Photo Corners, 1 Box containing 250 photo corners (Kitchen & Home)
Are you looking for durable transparent photo corners? Well, here they are. Although a bit smaller than some other photo corners and very sticky if you are not careful, nevertheless they do the job perfectly (and come from a trusted brand Scotch). Moreover, when incorrectly applied they were easy to remove and seem to stick to a new place after reapplied.

February has been a rough month for Scott Morrell, the owner of Woodbury-based Morrell Caterers, and it seems things are only getting worse.
At the beginning of the month, several Morrell employees alleged the owner directed the company to prepare non-kosher food in kosher kitchens – a practice that is forbidden amongst observant Jews.
Morrell and his lawyers have vehemently denied the allegations.
[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Related stories"]But now, more former employees have stepped forward, this time claiming that Morrell allegedly withheld as much as $10 million in tips from as many as 500 employees over the past six years.
The new clas- action lawsuit, filed by former maître d' William Cataldo, former waiter and captain Dharmapal Vishnudat and former bartender, captain and maître d' Roman Khaimov, alleges Morrell led patrons to believe that an 18 percent service charge included in all catering contracts was going to the wait and service staff, in lieu of cash tips.
Instead, the three plaintiffs claim the kosher catering company kept that money for management personnel, in direct opposition of New York labor law.
The three former employees filed the class-action lawsuit, which is being handled by Mineola-based law firm Leeds, Morelli & Brown, on behalf of the "hundreds" of employees affected by this practice since 2006. The suit seeks to recover the unpaid wages owed to the employees, damages and attorney fees.
Morrell has repeatedly stated these claims by former employees are an attempt at extortion by his former attorney, Howard Fensterman, who Morrell has filed a civil lawsuit against.

Boy Scouts misconduct files contain several Oklahoma cases
In other cases, and in a manner that shadowed cases across the nation, the Oklahoma files also showed evidence of local authorities seeking to shield the Boy Scouts from negative publicity.
In a 1974 case from Lawton, a local Scout executive sought to have a Scout leader included in the confidential files after he was charged with lewd molestation involving a 12-year-old boy.
The executive said he'd met with local media officials and that the matter was "being handled discreetly."
The suspect, who was "considered one of the foremost Scoutmasters" in the Lawton area was later acquitted of the charges.
In a 1979 case in Eufaula, a Scout leader was accused of sexually abusing several boys. He later admitted to some of the abuse. A father sought criminal charges against the leader, but the prosecutor deferred pending a mental evaluation, according to the files. There's no indication in the file that a criminal case was ever pursued.
Boy Scout officials acknowledge that law enforcement was not involved in about a third of the cases nationwide.
The organization is now reviewing those cases to determine whether reason still exists to alert law enforcement.
