Australia's first curved-screen smartphone has arrived and there is more to it than a pretty face
Hard yakka men who are in need of a rugged smartphone will appreciate the RugGear RG970. It's an Android tough device designed from the chassis up to withstand the kind of elements that would render everyday smartphones useless.
An anonymous tipster has leaked Telstra's promotional collateral for HTC's upcoming flagship to mobile site GSMArena. The brochure reveals the smartphone will be called the HTC One (M8), features 'DuoCamera' technology and a Full HD, 5in screen.
Acer has released a version of its C720 Chromebook that has a touchscreen. The C720P-2600 Chromebook offers 10-point multi-touch screen, and its purpose is to give you a more interactive way of using the Chrome OS-based sub-notebook, if not for current Web-based apps, then for future uses.
The new A1-830 tablet ticks all of the right boxes for people interested in a functional tablet sporting the sub 8-inch form factor. The tablet sports a 7.9-in, 1024x768 resolution screen at a 4:3 screen ratio; a ratio deal for web browsing and reading e-books.
Intel's Next Unit of Computing, or NUC for short, is now available in a fourth-generation Intel Core model (the D54250WYK), which gives it better performance and efficiency characteristics than the third-generation model that we reviewed two years ago (the DC3217BY).
Presto makes Foxtel's movie library available for $20 per month without having to commit to a contract. The service will have access to roughly one thousand movies from several notable Hollywood studios, in addition to granting subscribers access to Foxtel's seven live movie channels.
"Everyone loves to blow things up and tanks do that very well. World of Tanks allows players to play quick tank battles that have more strategy than your average shooter. No two battles are ever the same", said the director of Wargaming.
'Focussed' is the word we would use to describe the Kindle Paperwhite. Every facet of this 6in e-reader is geared towards making electronic reading easy. Its beauty lies in the fine details, like its size, the ease of its menu and the texture of its screen.
The HP Spectre 13 Pro Ultrabook is blessed with good looks, high-quality construction, and a configuration that allows it to perform well under most office-style scenarios. It's a fourth-generation Intel Core i7-based unit, but its slight frame doesn't give that away, and it also features a touchscreen that has one of the highest resolutions on the PC market.
Spreading like wildfire are rumours regarding the next smartphone to head LG's range, the G3. Leaks suggest the yet-to-be-confirmed smartphone could harbour next-generation technology that could have even Samsung against the ropes.
The final instalment in the Final Fantasy XIII aims to wrap up the entire storyline while bringing further tweaks to the gameplay.
Samsung will hold an Australian launch event for its upcoming Galaxy S5 flagship on the 26 of March. Official invites issued to Australian press indicate Australia could be one of the first countries to launch the smartphone two weeks later.
Sennheiser has partnered with DJs including Bob Sinclair to develop its new range of DJ headphones. The new headphones have been designed with one-ear monitoring in mind and feature elliptical cups for improved comfort.
Late last year, we introduced the Good Gear Guide Evaluation Team, in which we open up the product review process to small and medium business users, and offered a prize for the best user review. Here's how it went.
LG's original G Pro was named the "Best Smartphone" of last year's Mobile World Congress. Now the company has released its successor, the G Pro 2, and it's looking to take on Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S5. Few details set the two smartphones apart, and we've put together a side-by-side comparison to help you choose which smartphone is the one for you.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Susan 573-751-1518
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 10, 2011
Missouri Prevailing Wage Rates Set for State Highways and Transportation Construction Projects
General Wage Order No. 55 Now in Effect
JEFFERSON CITY, MO – The Missouri Labor Department's Division of Labor Standards announced that General Wage Order No. 55 is now in effect establishing the new prevailing wage rates for use on all Missouri State Highways and Transportation construction projects.
The General Wage Order No. 55 contains prevailing wage rates for each county and the city of St. Louis for the following occupations: laborer, truck driver teamster, operating engineer, carpenter, traffic control service [engineer] driver, cement mason, iron worker, electrician- inside wireman, electrician- outside, and painter. The prevailing wage is the minimum rate that must be paid to workers on all Missouri State Highways and Transportation construction projects.
"Prevailing wage promotes and protects economic stability," says Department of Labor Director Larry Rebman. "It is crucial during these tough economic times that Missourians working to make our roads and highways safe are paid the wages they deserve."
The Division of Labor Standards is responsible for gathering wage information from public and private construction projects statewide on an ongoing basis from contractors, labor organizations and public entities. The Division uses wage information to learn wage rates actually paid to workers in each of the ten different occupational titles for every Missouri county and the city of St. Louis. The largest number of hours reported at a given wage rate for the occupational title in the county becomes the prevailing wage rate.
Each year on or before July 1, the Division files a General Wage Order with the Secretary of State with a 30 day objection period. If there are no objections, the prevailing wage rates established by the Division are final.
From July of 2010 to July of 2011, the Division received 321 prevailing wage complaints and found 160 violations. Contractors that do not pay the required prevailing wage rates to their workers are subject to $100.00 per day penalty per unpaid worker. Cases in which the Division determines contractors have willfully violated the prevailing wage law are referred to the local prosecuting attorney who may then file criminal charges against the contractor for up to $500 in fines or six months in jail per violation. In addition, when contractors are convicted or have pled guilty to violating the prevailing wage law, the Division will file notice with the Secretary of State to debar the contractor from working on any public works project
To view the General Wage Order No. 55 or for additional information, please visit www.labor.mo.gov/DLS/PrevailingWage/gwo.asp. Employees on public works projects who are not receiving prevailing wage rates should file a complaint by filling out the complaint form, www.labor.mo.gov/DLS/PrevailingWage/file_complaint.asp or calling (573) 751-3403.
421 East Dunklin Street, P.O. Box 504, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0504

The new Roku 3: overhauled interface, faster chip and private listening mode Video
The new Roku 3: overhauled interface, faster chip and private listening mode Video Transcript
Hey, I'm Matthew Moskovciak from CNET and we're gonna take a quick look at the just announced Roku 3. This is Roku's new flagship streaming media box and it's shipping starting today for $99. What's most exciting about the new box is the completely overhauled user interface. It's a totally new look for Roku and it's a big improvement. Gone as the old filmstrip look replaced with a menu bar and a grid of channels. The new layout lets you see a lot more channels at once, making it much faster to find exactly what you're looking for. Roku's channel store is also now integrated right into the main menu. Instead of having to load a whole separate interface which took forever on the old Roku boxes. Overall, just about everything feels better and faster on the new interface and the best part, Roku's rolling out this new look to all current gen Roku boxes in April. The box itself has a slightly updated look with an even glossier finish than before and new rounded edges on the side. You'll also notice it's a little bit heavier than the old boxes and Roku added that weigh on purpose to help the Roku 3 from getting pulled by heavy HDMI cables. Inside it has a new processor that's claimed to be five times faster than the Roku 2 XS's chip. Now, some have speculated that maybe a faster chip would finally allow Roku to add YouTube to its channel store but for whatever reason that's still not the case so, there's no YouTube on Roku 3. The other internal improvement is dual band WiFi, which is a nice upgrade that Roku fans have had on their wishlist for a while. Around back, you'll find just an HDMI output and Ethernet jack, a micro SD card slot and a power port, plus there's also a USB port on the side. There's no more analog video output on the Roku 3. So, if you still need an analog connection, you'll need to step down to another model. Roku has also added one more neat feature to the Roku 3 and that's the private listening mode. Plug in some headphones to the jack on the side of the remote and you can listen to anything you're streaming on your Roku box. Your TV's line is automatically muted and you can control the headphone volume using the rocker on the side. It's a really smart edition of Roku's feature set and they're even including a pair of earbuds in the box. So, all together, the new Roku 3 feels like a very polished update to a series of streaming boxes that were already excellent. I'm gonna continue testing the new box and the updated interface. To check back for a full review soon to see how it stacks up to its main competitor, the Apple TV. I'm Matthew Moskovciak and that was a quick look at the new Roku 3.

Roku 3 Review
The good: The Roku 3's excellent interface and speedy processor makes it feel quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. More than 1,000 channels are supported, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, HBO Go, Hulu Plus, Pandora, MLB.TV, Amazon Cloud Player, Vudu and (finally) Youtube. It also has cross-platform search that scours several major TV and movie services to find content. And Roku's nifty remote has a built-in headphone jack that lets you listen without disturbing others.
The bad: The Apple TV still works better within the Apple ecosystem. And the Roku 3 isn't the best option if you're mostly looking to stream your personal digital media collection.
The bottom line: The Roku 3 is the best streaming-video box yet, with tons of content sources, lightning-fast performance, and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack.

I would also like to knopw the answer on this one.
Searched all over the net and I can't find the information I need. Wondering if the HDD power cable that is currently in there can just be plugged in to the Superdrive, but I don't know |
0 |
Nov 20, 2012, 04:53 PM | #3 |
Your current HDD should be plugged into the SATA0 slot with the proprietary power cable and standard SATA data cable. Then use standard SATA cables for the other 2 drives using SATA1 and SATA2.
SATA0 is your primary SATA port, so you shouldn't have any trouble providing you use the same cabling and just source other cables for S1&S2 |

Nov 21, 2012, 03:48 PM | #4 |
So the current hdd power cable will be just a normal sata power on the drive end ? And I can plug this into an SSD or the optical drive?

Nov 21, 2012, 04:01 PM | #5 |
Yea, on the hard drive side is the standard SATA connections so putting in an SSD will be no bother

Skin Abscess Causes
Patient Comments
Read 17 Comments
Skin abscesses are typically caused by either an inflammatory reaction to an infectious process (bacteria or parasite) or, less commonly, to a foreign substance within the body (a needle or a splinter, for example). Abscesses may develop because of obstructed oil (sebaceous) or sweat glands, inflammation of hair follicles, or from minor breaks and punctures of the skin. Abscesses may also develop after a surgical procedure. The infectious organisms or foreign material cause an inflammatory response in the body, which triggers the body's immune system to form a cavity or capsule to contain the infection and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body. The interior of the abscess liquefies, and pus develops (which contains dead cells, proteins, bacteria, and other debris). This area then begins to expand, creating increasing tension and inflammation of the overlying skin. The most common bacterial organism responsible for the development of skin abscesses is Staphylococcus aureus, although various other organisms can also lead to abscess formation With the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), health-care providers must now consider this organism as the possible cause when a skin abscess is encountered. People with weakened immune systems (either from a chronic disease or from medications) can develop abscesses more often because their body's ability to fight infection is decreased. Individuals with any of the following conditions are at higher risk for developing abscesses:

New insights into osteoclastogenic signaling mechanisms Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 23, Issue 11, 1 November 2012, Pages 582-590 Tomoki Nakashima, Mikihito Hayashi and Hiroshi Takayanagi Abstract Bone is continuously renewed through a dynamic balance between bone resorption and formation. This process is the fundamental basis for the maintenance of normal bone mass and architecture. Osteoclasts play a crucial role in both physiological and pathological bone resorption, and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) is the key cytokine that induces osteoclastogenesis. Here we summarize the recent advances in the understanding of osteoclastogenic signaling by focusing on the investigation of RANKL signaling and RANKL-expressing cells in the context of osteoimmunology. The context afforded by osteoimmunology will provide a scientific basis for future therapeutic approaches to diseases related to the skeletal and immune systems. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (866 kb) |
RANKL–RANK signaling in osteoclastogenesis and bone disease Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 12, Issue 1, 1 January 2006, Pages 17-25 Teiji Wada, Tomoki Nakashima, Nishina Hiroshi and Josef M Penninger Abstract Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of bone metabolism is crucial for developing novel drugs for treating such diseases. In particular, genetic experiments showing that the receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), its ligand RANKL, and the decoy receptor OPG are essential, central regulators of osteoclast development and osteoclast function were significant turning points in our understanding of bone diseases. RANKL–RANK signaling activates a variety of downstream signaling pathways required for osteoclast development. Moreover, molecular cross-talk between RANKL–RANK and other ligand–receptor systems fine-tunes bone homeostasis in normal physiology and disease. Designing novel drugs that target RANKL–RANK and their signaling pathways in osteoclasts could potentially revolutionize the treatment of many diseases associated with bone loss such as arthritis, tooth loss, cancer metastases or osteoporosis.

The Osteoclast—Not Always Guilty Cell Metabolism, Volume 6, Issue 3, 5 September 2007, Pages 157-159 Gregory R. Mundy and James R. Edwards Summary Osteopetrosis is usually regarded as the disease of nonfunctioning osteoclasts, with a consequent accumulation of osseocartilaginous material in the bone marrow. A recent report shows that, in some patients with the rare autosomal recessive form of the disease, the osteoclast defect may be non-cell autonomous, in this case due to a mutation in RANKL, the protein that normally controls osteoclast formation and activity.

Autosomal-Recessive Osteopetrosis (ARO) comprises a heterogeneous group of bone diseases for which mutations in five genes are known as causative. Most ARO are classified as osteoclast-rich, but recently a subset of osteoclast-poor ARO has been recognized as due to a defect in TNFSF11 (also called RANKL or TRANCE, coding for the RANKL protein), a master gene driving osteoclast differentiation along the RANKL-RANK axis. RANKL and RANK (coded for by the TNFRSF11A gene) also play a role in the immune system, which raises the possibility that defects in this pathway might cause osteopetrosis with immunodeficiency. From a large series of ARO patients we selected a Turkish consanguineous family with two siblings affected by ARO and hypogammaglobulinemia with no defects in known osteopetrosis genes. Sequencing of genes involved in the RANKL downstream pathway identified a homozygous mutation in the TNFRSF11A gene in both siblings. Their monocytes failed to differentiate in vitro into osteoclasts upon exposure to M-CSF and RANKL, in keeping with an osteoclast-intrinsic defect. Immunological analysis showed that their hypogammaglobulinemia was associated with impairment in immunoglobulin-secreting B cells. Investigation of other patients revealed a defect in both TNFRSF11A alleles in six additional, unrelated families. Our results indicate that TNFRSF11A mutations can cause a clinical condition in which severe ARO is associated with an immunoglobulin-production defect.

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Herr Brauxel operates a mine in which no ore is processed, yet Brauxel's employees report for work daily. During morning shifts, Brauxel creates a map of the Vistula, Poland's longest river, which empties into the Baltic Sea in Gdansk. As he shapes the course of the river on his desk out of various objects, Brauxel relates the story of two young friends, Walter Matern and Eduard "Eddi" Amsel, growing up along the Vistula from the mid-1920's to mid-1930's.
Walter is Roman Catholic and the son of a local miller with clairvoyant powers gained from listening to flour mealworms. Eddi is half-Jewish and the son of a prosperous merchant. The boys have exchanged oaths as blood brothers, and Walter, known as the Grinder for his habit of grinding his teeth, acts as protector of pudgy Eddi. The two comrades often play with Walter's black dog, Senta—a German shepherd who is also part wolf—alongside the river where Eddi salvages debris to build lifelike, incredibly effective scarecrows that he rents or sells to local farmers. He invests the money he earns to make even more elaborate and grotesque scarecrows.
Poet-playwright Harry Liebenau, son of a carpenter, writes letters to his cousin Ursula "Tulla" Pokriefke, but he never sends them. Harry's missives relate his memories from the mid-1930's until the end of World War II in 1945. Like the older boys, Harry also has a black dog, Harras, the offspring of Senta.
Harry's letters detail ominous signs of change: Germany has absorbed Danzig, flags with swastikas have blossomed, and Hitler Youth groups are beginning to appear. Harras sires a pup named Prinz, who is presented as a gift to Adolf Hitler. Meanwhile, Walter, after a stint with the communists and a fling as an actor, joins...

Summary (Masterplots II: World Fiction Series)
Dog Years has three narrators who, together, tell the story of Germany from the mid-1920's to the late 1940's. Eddi Amsel, the first narrator, is also the protagonist of book 1. He grows up in Danzig after World War I. The area is not yet a part of Germany, although it has a predominant German population, with conflicting ethnic and religious groups. The Mennonites and the Catholics, for example, distrust one another, and the Jews are discriminated against. Eddi's ancestry is somewhat clouded, but he is reputed to be half-Jewish. He is also an artist, a creator of amazingly lifelike scarecrows that disturb not only the birds but also his fellow Danzigers, who treat Eddi as an outcast.
Book 1 explores both the history of Danzig and the history of the families of Eddi and his friend Walter Matern. These are the "dog years," in the sense that, threaded through this dynastic saga, is the story of the Matern family's dogs. The dogs' pedigree finally makes one of their breed a fit choice for the fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. The emphasis on dog breeding is an implicit comment on the growing German obsession with "Aryans." Eddi's friendship with Walter grows in spite of Eddi's tainted blood, yet Walter cannot seem to help himself; his prejudice shows when he calls Eddi a "sheeny." Eddi, himself, is not immune to racism and adopts the philosophy of a virulent anti-Semitic author who contends that Jews have no souls. In spite of his...

QB Vick still starter for struggling Eagles
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick will remain the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Coach Andy Reid announced the decision on Wednesday. The Eagles are off and Reid and Vick are not scheduled to address the media again until Thursday.
Vick, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has struggled this season and Philadelphia (3-4) has lost three straight games.
Reid didn't endorse Vick after Sunday's 30-17 loss to Atlanta, saying he's going to evaluate all his starters. Vick then said he would support whatever decision Reid makes.
That led to speculation Vick's days were numbered. But Reid is sticking with Vick over unproven rookie Nick Foles as of now.

The foregoing description is set forth by way of illustrations and variations may be made thereto without departing from the invention. This invention relates to an anhydrous dentifrice having desirable rheological, sensory and hygienic characteristics. Dentifrices typically contain assorted ingredients dispersed in a creamy or gel vehicle, which vehicle contains a liquid phase and solid phase. The literature often indicates that the liquid phase may be water, humectant or mixture thereof. In point of fact, water is generally present since it is difficult to formulate an anhydrous dentifrice containing humectant as vehicle liquid phase component with many of gum or gum-like gelling materials recognized in the art as solid phase vehicle components with desirable cream or gel consistency without sacrificing rheological, sensory and/or hygienic characteristics. Gelling materials which provide desirable consistency with water and humectant are often less satisfactory when water is not present to activate their gellation binding properties. This is particularly a problem when glycerine is used as humectant, even though glycerine is the most commonly used humectant in water-containing dentifrices. Nevertheless, anhydrous dentifrices have been proposed since various ingredients helpful in providing effects sought from a dentifrice are not compatible with water and have such effects diminished or lost. For instance, anhydrous zeolite or molecular sieve material produce warming heat when moistened by saliva upon introduction into the oral cavity, which effect is not provided with aqueous dentifrice. Similarly, soluble fluorine retention may be less than optimum when water and calcium or magnesium ions are present or sodium bicarbonate, or other ingredients, such as the sweetening agent N-levo-alpha-aspartyl-levo-phenylaniline-1-methyl ester, also known as aspartame are present, which ingredients are inactivated completely or partially in the presence of water. U.S. Pat. No. 3,250,680 to Menkart et al discloses a heat-generating cosmetic composition adapted to evolve heat when it contacts moisture which is an anhydrous composition containing about 5 to 40% of an anhydrous adsorbent material such as alkali metal aluminosilicate molecular sieves dispersed in a non-aqueous cosmetically acceptable vehicle such as mineral oil or liquid polyalkylene glycol. The cosmetic compositions disclosed herein include skin and hand creams, shampoos and toothpaste. The anhydrous toothpaste formula therein does not contain glycerine. U.S. Pat. No. 3,574,824 to Echeandia et al discloses an anhydrous toothpaste formulation which does not generate heat during brushing comprising an oil, a combination of polyethylene glycols, a non-ionic emulsifier, a binding agent, a compound having a negative heat of hydration such as mannitol or inositol, and 30-70% abrasive which may be aluminum hydrate and/or calcium sulfate and aluminum silicate. There is no zeolite present in these formulations and they do not release or generate heat as do those of U.S. Pat. No. 3,250,680. Bleaching agents and fluorides are among the materials disclosed which may be present even though they would exhibit incompatibilities if water were present. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,132,771 and 4,187,287, each to Schreiber et al describe heat-generating anhydrous dentifrice containing zeolite and flavoring agent. U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,316 to Januszewski et al describes anhydrous self-heating dentifrice containing zeolite in which the liquid phase of the vehicle is propylene glycol and the solid phase is hydroxypropyl cellulose. Zeolite NaHA in dentifrices is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,349,533 to Dent et al. It is an advantage of this invention that desirable rheological, sensory and hygienic characteristics are attained in an anhydrous dentifrice containing an ingredient which would be at least partially incompatible with water. It is a further advantage of this invention that an anhydrous dentifrice with a rigid gel consistency is provided with a polysaccharide gum as binding agent with glycerine as humectant. Further advantages of the invention will be apparent from consideration of the following specification. In accordance with certain of its aspects, the present invention relates to an anhydrous dentifrice comprising at least about 50% by weight of glycerine humectant and at least about 0.1% by weight of deacetylated heteropolysaccharide S-60 to provide a rigid gel consistency to said dentifrice. In the prior art, glycerine has generally been avoided as humectant in anhydrous dentifrice. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,316 to Januszewski et al, it is described with regard to Table 2 thereof that when a zeolite material is added to glycerine, heat is evolved too early to permit a dentifrice user to sense the heat when the dentifrice is anhydrous. In the present invention in which the deacetylated heteropolysaccharide S-60 is used as gelling agent with glycerine, the early evolution of heat upon addition of anhydrous zeolite material is not experienced and heat is first evolved when the anhydrous dentifrice is moistened by saliva during use. It is understood that glycerine as commercially available may contain about 0.5-2% by weight of water in association with the glycerine, typically about 0.7%. The presence of such minor amount of water does not prevent the dentifrice from being considered by the artisan as anhydrous. Glycerine is present in the anhydrous dentifrice in amount of at least about 50% by weight, typically about 50-80% by weight, preferably about 65-75%. It is generally about 90-100% by weight of the liquid phase of the anhydrous dentifrice. If desired, a minor amount of additional non-aqueous liquid, such as polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of about 200-600 or propylene glycol may be present to assist dispersion. Polyethylene glycol 600 is preferred. It is noted that in dentifrices in general, these type of materials also reduce the tendency of the dentifrice to form a string when extruded. In the dentifrices of the present invention there is little, if any, string formed even if the dispersing agent is not present. Such additive is typically present in amount of about 1-5% by weight of the anhydrous dentifrice and up to about 10% by weight of the amount of glycerine. The formation of heteropolysaccharide S-60 by fermentation of Pseudomonas elodea and deacetylation is described in each of U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,052 to Kang et al and U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,053 to Kang et al, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,326,052, non-clarified and clarified variants of deacetylated heteropolysaccharide S-60 are described. In the non-clarified form about half of the material is insoluble of which about 34% (wt./wt.) is protein. In the clarified form, no more than about 2% by weight of the total materials is protein. Heteropolysaccharide S-60 and its deacetylated form are available from Kelco Division of Merck and Company, San Diego, Calif. Deacetylated non-clarified heteropolysaccharide S-60 comprises (a) about 50% (wt./wt.) insoluble material of which about 34% (wt./wt.) is protein, and (b) about 50% (wt./wt.) carbohydrate which contains abut 22-26% (wt./wt.) glucuronic acid, 0% acetyl groups, and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio 3:2, said rhamnose and glucose sugars being primarily 1,4β-linked, said heteropolysaccharide being further characterized in that it is anionic, and forms brittle, thermoreversible gels. Deacetylated clarified heteropolysaccharide S-60 comprises no more than about 2% (wt./wt.) protein and carbohydrate said carbohydrate containing about 22-26% (wt./wt.) glucoronic acid, 0% acetyl groups, and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio 3:2, said rhamnose and glucose sugars being primarily 1,4β-linked, said heteropolysaccharide being further characterized in that it is anionic, and forms brittle, thermoreversible gels. The deacetylated heteropolysaccharide in amount of at least about 0.1-5% by weight, preferably about 0.3-1% and most preferably about 0.3-0.5%, of the anhydrous dentifrice is mixed with glycerine by conventional dentifrice hotprocessing technique at about 65 During cooling the gel mass breaks into portions which over a period of time loosely adhere to adjacent portions. This characteristic results in an anhydrous dentifrice in which dentifrice extruded out of a dentifrice tube rheologically cleanly and evenly and readily separates from the dentifrice still inside the tube without formation of a string. Clarified deacetylated heteropolysaccharide is preferred for use when a substantially white dentifrice or visually clear gel dentifrice is desired. The whiteness may be increased with a pigment such as titanium dioxide. Molecular sieves such as synthetic zeolites, particularly A crystals and X crystals, have been disclosed as dentifrice abrasives or polishing agents in anhydrous dentifrices, for instance in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,132,771 and 4,187,287, each to Schreiber et al, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,316 to Januszewski et al, the disclosure of which are incorporated by reference. pH adjusted zeolite as dentifrice abrasive is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,349,533 to Dent et al, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Molecular sieves are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,250,680 to Menkart et al, the disclosure of which is also incorporated herein by reference. In properly formulated anhydrous dentifrices, heat formation occurs when the molecular sieves come in contact with saliva upon introduction of the dentifrice into the oral cavity. The practice of the present invention with polysaccharide gum permits such an effect to occur in anhydrous dentifrice containing glycerine humectant. Depending on the types of fluorine-providing material and insoluble polishing material which may be employed in an aqueous dentifrice, the retention of soluble fluorine can be substantially diminished or eliminated by precipitation. In the anhydrous dentifrice of the present invention, combinations of fluorine-providing material and polishing agent which would be incompatible in the presence of water, can be employed with substantially optimum soluble fluorine retention. Likewise, other agents which provide desirable effects, such as peroxide bleaching compounds which evolve oxygen and bicarbonate compounds, including sodium bicarbonate polishing agent, which evolve carbon dioxide can be readily formulated in the anhydrous dentifrice of the present invention. Anhydrous zeolites or molecular sieves may be employed in amount of about 1-50% by weight of dentifrices, bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate, in amount of about 1-50% fluorine-providing compounds, such as sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride or sodium monofluorophosphate and bleaching peroxygen bleaching compounds, in amounts to provide about 0.1-1% by weight of fluorine or oxygen; coumarin optical brighteners such as 4-methyl-7-hydroxy-coumarin and 4-methyl-1,7-diethylamino-coumarin would generally be present in amount of about 0.01-0.1% by weight and the sweetening agent aspartame would generally be present in amount of about 0.05-1% by weight. Bleaching agents for the teeth, such as oxidizing agents, optical brighteners, and other such agents which achieve a whitening or brightening effect when applied to the teeth, may be added to our anhydrous toothpaste base. Sodium perborate, sodium pyrophosphate peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium peroxide, sodium persulfate, sodium percarbonate, potassium peroxydiphosphate, and urea peroxide, added at levels of from about 0.1% to about 5%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 1% by weight, based on the finished toothpaste are especially recommended. They may be used alone or in combination with one another. When the anhydrous dentifrice of the present invention contains fluorine-providing compound, fluorine provision is optimum even if there is also present a source of calcium or magnesium such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride which may be present in amount of about 0.01-1% by weight of a polishing agent such as dicalcium phosphate, tri-magnesium phosphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate or the like, which could result in formation of calcium fluoride if water were present. As mentioned earlier, polishing agent or abrasive in the anhydrous dentifrice of the present invention may be an anhydrous zeolite or molecular sieve, which causes generation of heat when moistened by saliva during use, or aluminum hydrate, (e.g. alpha-alumina hydrate or anhydrous alumina) calcium sulfate or aluminum silicate, such as are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,574,824. In addition, the polishing agent or abrasive could be from amongst the dentally acceptable materials typically used in the prior art, such as dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, insoluble sodium metaphosphate, silica xerogel, sodium aluminosilicate (also characterized as silica containing combined alumina), magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, calcium pyrophosphate, bentonite, sodium bicarbonate and mixtures thereof. In particular, when the polishing agent or abrasive would be capable of providing alkaline earth metal ion (calcium or magnesium), which could form a precipitate of inactive calcium fluoride if a fluorine-providing material is present, the anhydrous medium of the present invention avoids such problem and permits optimum compatibility between polishing agent or abrasive and fluorine-providing material. Polishing material or abrasive is typically present in amount of about 5-50% by weight of the dentifrice. Anhydrous zeolite or molecular sieve, when present, is in amount of about 1-50% by weight. The listing of polishing agent in the present specification is not intended to be exhaustive and therefore, for other polishing materials, reference should be made to a standard handbook, such as Cosmetics Science and Technology, by Sagarin, 2nd printing, 1963, published by Interscience Publishers, Inc. The dentifrice of the present invention may optionally contain a fluorine-containing compound having a beneficial effect on the care and hygiene of the oral cavity, e.g. diminution of enamel solubility in acid and protection of teeth, against decay. Examples thereof include sodium fluoride, stannous and manganese fluoride, and potassium fluoride, potassium stannous fluoride (SnF.sub.2.KF), sodium hexafluorostannate, stannous chlorofluoride, sodium or potassium fluorozirconate and sodium monofluorophosphate. These materials, which dissociate or release fluorine-containing ions in water or saliva suitably may be present in an effective but nontoxic amount upon contact with water or saliva, usually within the range of about 0.01 to 1% by weight of water soluble fluorine content to the dentifrice. Sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate are preferred. Organic surface-active agents are used in the compositions of the present invention to assist in achieving thorough and complete dispersion of the instnat compositions throughout the oral cavity and render the instant compositions more cosmetically acceptable. The organic surface-active material may be anionic, nonionic, ampholytic, or cationic in nature, and it is preferred to employ as the surface-active agent a detersive material which imparts to the composition detersive and foaming properties. Suitably such detergents are water-soluble salts of higher fatty acid monoglyceride monosulfates, such as the sodium salt of the monosulfated monoglyceride of hydrogenated coconut oil fatty acids, higher alkyl sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, alkyl aryl sulfonates, such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, higher alkyl sulfoacetates, higher fatty acid ester of 1,2-dihydroxy propane sulfonates, and the substantially saturated high aliphatic acyl amides of lower aliphatic amino carboxylic acid compounds, such as those having 12 to 16 carbon atoms in the fatty acid, or acyl radicals, and the like. Examples of the last mentioned amides are N-lauroyl sarcosine, and the sodium potassium and ethanolamine salts of N-lauroyl, N-myristoyl, or N-palmitoyl sarcosine which should be substantially free from soap or similar higher fatty acid material which tends to substantially reduce the effect of these compounds. The use of these sarcosinate compounds in the dentifrice compositions of the present invention is particularly advantageous since these materials exhibit a prolonged and marked effect in the inhibition of acid formation in the oral cavity due to carbohydrate breakdown in addition to exerting some reduction in the solubility to tooth enamel in acid solutions. Other particular suitable surface-active materials include nonionic agents such as condensates or sorbitan monostearate with approximately 20 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of ethylene oxide with propylene oxide, ("Pluronic" materials) and amphoteric agents such as long chain (alkyl) amido-alkylene alkylated amine derivatives which are available under the trademark "Miranol" such as Miranol C.sub.2 M. Other suitable nonionic detergents are the condensation products of an α-olefin oxide containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms, a polyhydric alcohol containing 2 to 10 carbons and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups and either ethylene oxide or a heteric mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The resultant detergents are heteric polymers having a molecular weight in the range of 400 to about 1600 and containing 40% to 80% by weight of ethylene oxide, with an α-olefin oxide to polyhydric alcohol mole ratio in the range of about 1:1 to about 1:3. There may also be employed olefin sulfonate detergents, typically long chain alkenyl sulfonates. It is preferred to use from about 0.05 to 5% by weight and preferably about 0.5 to 5% of the foregoing surface-active materials in the instant oral preparations. Various other compatible and suitable materials may be incorporated in the dentifrice formulations of this invention. Examples thereof are coloring or whitening agents or dyestuffs, preservatives, silicones, chlorophyll compounds, ammoniated materials such as urea, diammonium phosphate, pH adjusting materials such as monosodium phosphate and mixtures, thereof, and other constituents. These adjuvants are incorporated in the instant compositions in amounts which do not substantially adversely affect the properties and characteristics desired and are selected and used in proper amount depending upon the particular type of preparation involved. Synthetic finely divided pyrogenic silica such as those sold under the trademark Cab-O-Sil M-5, Syloid 244, Syloid 266 and Aerosil D-200 may also be employed in amounts of about 1-5% by weight to promote thickening. Antibacterial agents may also be employed in the oral preparation of the instant invention to provide a total content of such agents of up to about 5% by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 5.0%, most preferably about 0.5 to 1.0%. Typical antibacterial agents include: N.sup.1 -(4-chlorobenzyl)-N.sup.5 -(2,4-dichlorobenzyl) biguanide; p-chlorophenyl biguanide; 4-chlorobenzhydryl biguanide; 4-chlorobenzhydrylguanylurea; N-3-lauroxypropyl-N.sup.5 -p-chlorobenzylbiguanide; 1-(lauryldimethylammonium)-8-(p-chlorobenzyl-dimethylammonium) octane dichloride; 5,6-dichloro-2-guanidinobenzimidazole; N.sup.1 -p-chlorophenyl-N.sup.5 -laurylbiguanide; 1,6-di-p-chlorophenyl biguanidohexane; 1,6-bis(2-ethylhexyl biguanido) hexane; 5-amino-1,3-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-5-methylhexahydropyrimidine; and other non-toxic acid addition salts. Any suitable flavoring or sweetening sialagogues or mixture thereof may be employed in formulating a flavor for the compositions of the present invention. Examples of suitable flavoring constituents include the flavoring oils, e.g. oils of spearmint, peppermint, wintergreen, sassafras, clove, sage, eucalyptus, marjoram, cinnmaon, lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange, as well as flavoring aldehydes, esters such as methyl salicyclate, alcohols, and higher fatty compounds known in the art. Also useful are such chemicals as menthol, carvone and anethole. Of these, the most commonly employed are the oils of peppermint, spearmint and eucalyptus, and anethole, menthol and carvone. In some cases flavorful solvents, such as chloroform and mock chloroform, may be employed. Such flavorings may be used as liquids or may be solidified by being mixed with a particulate carrier material, such as starch, calcium carbonate, paraffin, vegetable wax, fat, higher fatty acid or other suitable carrier substances. In the cases of solid flavors, such as vanillin, sage, citric acid or licorice, the flavor may be converted to liquid form, if so desired, by dissolving it in the solvent or emulsifying it, usually with the help of a synthetic or natural emulsifying agent. The choice as to whether to utilize particulate solid or liquid flavors or to convert such flavors to a particulate solid or liquid form, respectively, will often depend on the properties desired in the flavor and its compatibility with the sweetener and any other material to be present with it. Suitable sweetening agents include mannitol, sucrose, lactose, maltose, sorbitol, xylitol, sodium cyclamate, saccharin, aspartame, the dipeptides of U.S. Pat. No. 3,939,261 and the oxathiazin salts of U.S. Pat. No. 3,932,606. Suitably, flavor and sweetening agent may together comprise from about 0.1 to 10% or more of the compositions of the instant invention. Patent Citations

Cooking with Linux - Illuminating Your Network's Darkest Corners
No, François. This kind of sniffer has nothing to do with wine. Wine is one area when the human nose performs far better than any software, no matter how clever the programmer. Honestly, mon ami, sampling the wine, for quality control reasons of course, is not a task I wish to automate. Other uses exist for the kinds of sniffers we are likely to encounter when cooking with Linux.
Look here, mon ami. Notice how much of our bandwidth is being used here and here. Are you curious as to what those connections really represent? François, why are you looking away? Ah, our guests are here. Why did you not say something?
Bonsoir, mes amis! Welcome once again to Chez Marcel, home of tantalizing Linux fare, great wines from the world over and a general penchant for all things open source. Please sit and make yourselves comfortable. Before you walked in, I was telling François about the many hidden bits of information flying across the average network. Speaking of hidden delights, François, please hurry to the wine cellar. Head to the west wing and bring back the 1995 Rioja Imperial Gran Reserva. This Spanish red is the perfect networking wine, non?
As I was telling my faithful waiter, a great deal is happening on the average network, and many people are completely oblivious to all but those connections they themselves have initiated. The simplest tool for checking out active network connections is included in every Linux distribution, netstat. By using the -a and -p options, you can find out about almost every open connection (or port) on your system and what programs are using them.
Notice what happens when I run the program. I'm going to use the -n option as well, which tells netstat not to worry about resolving IP addresses into symbolic addresses. This makes the program run a bit faster because no name resolution is performed. The result can be quite a long listing, so I pipe the output to more:
Ah François, you are back with the wine. Excellent. Please pour for our guests.
The listing I've shown you is only a partial listing, but the entire listing is incomplete itself. The reason for this is iptables masqueraded connections are not visible to netstat; that information is in another location, specifically /proc/net/ip_conntrack. The PID is the process ID of the running program using the connection. Now, we could do a cat on /proc/net/ip_conntrack, but the output doesn't make for eye-friendly reading. Look at the following sample (the output is a single, wrapped line):
tcp 6 431253 ESTABLISHED src=192.168.22.5 ↪dst=192.168.22.10 sport=34212 dport=22 ↪src=192.168.22.10 dst=192.168.22.5 sport=22 ↪dport=34212 [ASSURED] use=1
Patrick Lagacé obviously found this unpleasant to read as well. His conntrack viewer script is available at cv.intellos.net. Because it is a Perl script, simply change the permissions to make the script executable after you have downloaded it, then run the command:
chmod +x conntrack-viewer.pl ./contrack-viewer.pl
By default, the output shows all connections, including the masqueraded ones. To limit the output to masqueraded connections only, use the -m option. The reverse effect (no masqueraded connections) can be achieved with the -d option. Have a look at Figure 1 for a sample of the output.
Alexander Neptun's Nnetstat is a nice graphical tool for displaying active connections, routing tables and so on. To get your copy, visit www.aneptun.de/linux/Nnetstat and download the latest version. This is basically a Perl script, so no real installation has to be done other than making sure Nnetstat.pl is executable. As it turns out, Nnetstat also requires the Gtk.pm modules libraries, and while Perl should be on your system, this module likely is not. The easiest way to get it is from the Perl CPAN repository, and the command line still is your friend here:
perl -MCPAN -e "install Gtk"
If this is the first time you install Perl modules in this manner, you'll go through a little question-and-answer session. Follow through, accept the defaults and trust the system. What you need to decide is the location of the closest CPAN mirrors. Select your continent and country when asked, then select the available local mirrors. Once this is done, the Gtk installation continues on its own.
Installing the Gtk Perl modules does take some time. I probably should warn you that at some point near the end of the installation, a set of tests is performed. Don't be surprised when a graphical box pops up asking you to click Run to test all sorts of graphical magic associated with the package. When you are happy with the result, click Close to terminate the tests and complete the installation.
For a truly terrifying (or amusing, depending on your perspective) view of exactly what is flying across your system, run Driftnet. The name itself should be enough to send shivers up your spine. Simply put, Driftnet listens on a selected interface for image or video traffic (MPEG only), then displays the images it finds. Whether this display is more frightening to the system administrator who finds out what users are watching or to the users themselves, depends on more factors than we adequately can cover here. That said, this collection of images is completely indiscriminate and doesn't in any way point to a specific user.
To get your copy of Driftnet, head on over to Chris Lightfoot's web site at www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/driftnet and pick up the source. Before the Pythonists among you ask, last time I checked, his web site had not yet ceased to be nor was it pining for the Fjords.
Some prerequisite libraries are required to build Driftnet, most notably libungif, libjpeg and libpcap. If you don't have them installed already, the links are in the Resources section of this article, but check your distribution CDs first. Building the package is then a simple matter of extracting the tarball and running a make in the source directory. You then can run the resulting program from the directory itself or copy it to a more useful location:
./driftnet -i eth0
Because Driftnet needs to set the interface to promiscuous mode, you need to run it as root. Look at Figure 3 for a sample of Driftnet in action.
Sure, looking at pretty pictures flying across your network is fun if you don't consider the bandwidth costs, but what other interesting things are moving across those wires? There are Web requests, file downloads, e-mail messages, instant messaging sessions and more. Most network monitors, netstat included, show you active connections, but what precisely do those connections represent?
David Leonard has created an ncurses-based program called pktstat (www.itee.uq.edu.au/~leonard/personal/software/#pktstat) that does a nice job of showing you what percentage of bandwidth each connection uses. It also keeps a running load average in the style of uptime but tracks network transfer rates rather than processes in a run queue. What sets the program apart is its ability to display filenames associated with the packets sailing across your Web server or files being downloaded from client PCs on your network. Building pktstat is a matter of extracting the source, switching to the directory and typing make:
tar -xzvf pktstat-1.7.2q.tar.gz cd pktstat-1.7.2q make su -c "make install"
To run the program, use the -i parameter to specify the interface on which you wish to listen:
pktstat -i eth1
A window appears, similar to the one in Figure 4. As you can see, I've started a download of the latest OpenOffice.org software. The actual filename is displayed below the connection information; the same is true with HTTP Web requests.

Speaking of traffic, if you are looking to concentrate your efforts simply on what and where your network is being used, the final item on tonight's menu may be more appropriate. IPTraf is one of your humble chef's favorite IP-traffic monitoring tools, one that I go back to time and again. This is a ncurses-based application that displays IP traffic, byte and packet counts (including non-IP packets), UDP traffic, incoming vs. outgoing traffic and more. IPTraf is a package every person in charge of a network should have handy.
Visit Gerard Paul Java's web site at iptraf.seul.org to pick up your copy of IPTraf. Extract the tarred and gzipped source, then cd to that directory and run the Setup to build the package. The installation process finishes by copying the binary to /usr/local/bin. To run IPTraf, type iptraf, press Enter and you are on your way (Figure 5 shows an active IPTraf session).
As IPTraf gathers and displays information, the screen may get very busy, very quickly. What I like to do is run the program in a larger X terminal, say 80 × 40. Pressing the Esc key lets you back out of the current function or view. From there, you can change settings, add or remove filters and continue with your data gathering. IPTraf also provides different views, from the default station-to-station traffic, basic and detailed interface traffic stats and physical stats to packet size breakdowns. Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of this package. IPTraf is flexible enough to satisfy a great many IP monitoring needs.
Well, mes amis, closing time is rapidly approaching. As François refills your glasses, I hope you will walk away with an appreciation of exactly how much is happening on your network. Keep in mind, however, that along with the richness of information these tools can deliver, moral and social implications are attached. Good system administrators know what is happening on their networks. They also know when to look the other way. On that note, I raise my glass to you, mes amis. A vôtre santé! Bon appétit!
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.
