Koobface, Waledec worms slam Facebook; MySpace says it's immune
March 5, 2009
Facebook appears to be taking the brunt of the onslaught of viral messages infesting the Internet. These viral messages are metastizing far and wide, carried by huge and growing botnet-driven worms, like Koobface and Waledec, that spread through email and, increasingly, via social network communication services. The bad messages try to steer you to tainted web pages or trick you into downloading something innocuous, like an Adobe …More

Having lost my Dad and my husband to cancer, I know, from first hand experience, that many people who are terminally ill don't want to hear that they are dying. What they need and what they want is hope that somehow they will go on indefinitely, despite all odds.
Fear of death is archetypical (the beginning of all fears) and the only people who are more or less immune to it are those who have had a near death experience, those who have powerful Mystical experiences and those who are so unhappy in this life that they need to hang on to hope in a future, better life. Other than that, hardly anybody looks forward to the end of life as we know it. In fact people in Western cultures often avoid the subject of death as much as possible.
I disagree with that stance. I was taught about Jesus' Death in early childhood, and so death has always seemed a normal, if sad, part of life to me, and I raised my four children with the same awareness ofdeath that I had when I was growing up. They turned out to be perfectly adjusted adults, with a wonderful sense of humor.
Death happens to everyone. One hundred years from now, the vast majority of those living today will not be around. The children of our children's children will be the new face of the earth, and then they too will leave. Does this observation scare you, or does it offer you hope and respite?
Whether we regard death as our friend or foe, the fact remains that death is our individual end of the world we know it. How liberating do you think it would be if you were able to answer a few basic questions that will help you see how you have programmed yourself to deal with the inevitability of death?
Here are a few questions for your consideration: do you believe in the afterlife? Many people do, in fact belief in the afterlife exists in every culture. If you believe in the afterlife, do you think that when you die you'll go to Heaven? Where is Heaven located? Is it a physical place? Well, how could it be a physical place since you will not have a physical body when you get there? Do you regret having to die? Some people would love to live forever in this earth, and they swear that they wouldn't get bored because they'd be forever learning new things. Maybe you are one of those people who believe that even though your body dies you will always be a part of the Universe because once something exists it always exists.
Learning about different philosophical approaches to death can be a positive thing because we can learn something helpful, so why keep it a taboo? And why go through it alone?
When I look back at my husband's months preceding his death, I don't see him sharing with me how he felt about dying. He kept it all inside. Was he in a perpetual state of denial? Was he afraid? I don't know, but I wish I had known, because I could have tried to offer him some support. He was an intelligent man, surely he had seen the X-rays of his cancer-ravaged liver hanging on the white lit glass wall in the doctor's office. I know I did! Why didn't he want to talk about the inevitable? Was it because he was too afraid of death to talk about it? I tend to believe that to have been the case.
Everyone has to go through the experience of dying alone, but not everyone must die feeling alone. True, all the nice, uplifting stories we may have heard or read about will be of little comfort to someone who has been given four to six months to live, because the fear of death, which is meant to keep us alive, now emerges as a sharp awareness of imminent doom. However one can voice that fear and see if there is anything anyone can say that can help mitigate it. If you keep it inside, people don't know what you are thinking, and they don't know what to say to you, because they don't want to offend your sensibilities by saying too much or too little.

If you keep it inside, people don't know what you are thinking, and they don't know what to say to you, because they don't want to offend your sensibilities by saying too much or too little.
Of course there is no need for a dying person to voice the obvious feelings of sadness and hopeless doom that comes with the realization that it will soon be time to say the last goodbyes. Everyone you love will continue without you, and you have to come to terms with the fact that, regardless of what you might have thought, the world will still go on very well without you in it. Preparation for death is a deeply humbling experience.
Everything you did and cared about, everything that you called your own… none of it matters anymore. Your books, your brilliant mind, your keen political views, the daily news, your whole world are nothing more than a whisper in the wind now. No matter how you look at it, death is a departure, whether you like it or not. Preparation for death is profoundly bewildering.
Will you miss your body when you are gone? It may not be much to look at, but it's housed you since you were born. Will you retain any consciousness of what attracted you when you lived within the dimensions of time and space? Will it be dark where you are going, and will you be aware of the darkness, or will you be in a perpetual dream state? You don't know. Death is the great unknown, the abyss in which you are about to plunge, and you don't know what's on the other side. Preparation for death is a confrontation with our fear of the unknown.
If you lived a life of faith, you will be supported by your beliefs, and death will not spell doom for you. Yes, it will still hurt to leave your loved ones behind, but you know you are only saying au-revoir and not goodbye.
If you have made peace with the concept that when you die you will simply go into the ground and turn into dirt and bacteria, none of this will matter to you; indeed thinking about death will seem like an exercise in futility and a mere waste of time.
There are those who listen but don't hear, and look but don't see! To such people there doesn't seem to be a shred of evidence that life will go on after we die, and this realization makes death appear to be an enemy to be feared, rather than an event chockfull of new possibilities. Some of these people believe that humanity is so afraid of death that it has created comforting stories of the afterlife. They are firmly convinced that the afterlife is unnecessary, because we continue living through our progeny.

Although death is inevitable, how we approach our mortality makes a great deal of difference in the quality of our life, because to live without hope is to live in despair. Hope is a beacon of light shining in the darkness of doom, while hopelessness is a sign of depression. Hope concedes the possibility that death is a transition from one state of being into another, so why reject that possibility? How can the acceptance of hope in the existence of the afterlife hurt our sensibility? Either our sensibility is way too delicate, or it's so inflated that we believe it to be bigger than hope.
When we resist the temptation to define death as an absolute finality, then we are keeping the door open for other possibilities, and therefore, we have hope, and hope is what makes life worth living with a smile.

The Existence of Other Dimensions
We are now well into the 21st century. Kids born at the beginning of the third millennium are in Middle School. Thanks to the Internet and social media, today we are a global society, meaning that we have integrated many other cultures into the spectrum of our consciousness.
We have become sophisticated enough to look, without suspicion, to the mind-opening discoveries of many illustrious personalities that are channeled almost daily into our living rooms, through the Media, Entertainment and the Internet.
Brilliant theoretical physicist Dr. Brian Greene, professor of Mathematics and Physics at Columbia University, for example, talks in great detail about the discovery of the superstring theory in his "String Theory" Nova series that was aired by PBS a few years back, as well as in his excellent book, "The Elegant Universe."
Since I'm a fan of Brian Greene, and have watched his series a few times as well as read his book, I would like to introduce him to you through his own words:
(Interviewer) – "So, being an intelligent person, you could have chosen many careers. Why did you choose physics and why, out of all physics, string theory?"
(Brian Greene) – "Well, I think as an adolescent I had many of the questions and concerns that many adolescents do, you know—what's it all about, why are we here, what are we meant to be doing with our time and so forth. And it just occurred to me that many people much smarter than I had thought of these questions through the ages and come up with various solutions, none of which I guess were completely satisfying, and it didn't seem to me that I was going to come up with a solution to those particular problems.
"But it seemed to me that if one could gain a deep familiarity with the questions, a real profound understanding of the questions themselves—that is, why is there space, why is there time, why is there a Universe—then at least that would be the first step towards coming to answers. And physics is the field that has these questions as its real central motivating force behind the work that is done. So that was the main reason for physics.
"And then string theory—well, I was a graduate student in 1984 in Oxford when John Schwarz and Michael Green came up with the first real evidence that string theory could well be the Final Theory, the Theory of Everything, and there was nothing more exciting to work on at that point, and I've stayed with string theory ever since."
In his biography, Dr. Greene gets a little more specific about his studies: "The superstring theory has the potential to realize Einstein's long sought dream of a single, all encompassing, theory of the universe. One of the strangest features of superstring theory is that it requires the universe to have more than three spatial dimensions. Much of my research has focused on the physical implications and mathematical properties of these extra dimensions --- studies that collectively go under the heading 'quantum geometry'.
"Recently, we have formed a new institute at Columbia called ISCAP (Institute for Strings, Cosmology, and Astroparticle Physics) dedicated to understanding the interface of superstring theory and cosmology. One primary focus of ISCAP is the search for subtle signatures of string theory that may be imprinted in the precision cosmological data that will be collected through a variety of experiments over the next decade."
As we can see, through the language of math, and the ability to ask the right questions, quantum physicists like Brian Greene and many others are able to peer into whole new worlds that vibrate at a different rate than ours, and abide by different rules, or no rules at all! In fact some of these worlds are chaotic in nature, although even the chaos might be some sort of order in its own right, an order we don't understand, yet.
They have already discovered the existence of eleven dimensions corresponding to separate Universes, which they call "branes." Mind boggling, isn't it? Until these discoveries can be proven in a laboratory, they are still theories, nevertheless the exact language of math doesn't lie. The fact that such discoveries haven't been proved in a lab yet is because they are relatively new, and the process is extremely challenging.
The final frontier? Not at all. As stated by Brian Greene, science is pushing on toward the discovery of a theory of everything, which had initially been proposed by Albert Einstein, who didn't live long enough to see it through.
Just imagine, if we humans can conceive of such marvelous, horizon-widening ideas, despite the limited power of our minds, (it's well known that we only use a small part of our brain) what will it be like if we could just catch a glimpse of the whole picture of reality from the perspective of the infinitesimally small to the infinitesimally big?
This sort of scientific research presupposes that the whole picture does, in fact, exist as part of the Universe in which we live. That's what finding the "theory of everything" is all about. The exciting part (for me) is that we don't know where these scientific findings will catapult us. I wouldn't be surprised if they took us all the way to the very edge of the spiritual realm of existence. By studying the works of God, science might quite possibly one day point us to the Author and Creator of the whole Universe Himself. I believe it's inevitable, and that will be the final fronteer, because to advance to the next step, one would have to cross beyond the threshold of death.
There is so much that we don't know, so much reality to discover, so why be afraid of death? Perhaps it's through our transition from one state of being into another, that we will be finally able to see for ourselves what scientists are now working so feverishly to discover. It's a possibility to consider.
The String Theory, along with other similar studies such as finding the elusive Higgs boson, is the purpose why the Cern Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, also referred to as the European laboratory for particle physics was built. The LHC is the world's largest highest-energy particle accelerator. Its purpose is to find super symmetric particles, composites extra dimensions, micro black holes and magnetic monopoles, among other things.
In regard to finding composites extra dimensions, one of the objectives of the LHC is to observe whether an atom particle, during a collision, disappears. If an atom particle should actually be able to escape the tightly enclosed environment in which the collision takes place, we would have proof positive of the existence of other dimensions. In other words, the present theory of the existence of other dimensions would cease to be a theory, having been substantiated by fact.
It cost approximately $9.8 billions to build the LHC as an investment in our knowledge about the Universe, and to help expand our understanding of particle physics, which are invisible to the naked eye. Wouldn't you say that, comparatively speaking, it would be worth investing a little hope in the possibility that there may be more to death than meets the eye?
A Different Approach to the Unknown
In the TV show, "Fact or Faked, Paranormal Files," we see people with the credibility of solid professional backgrounds, who are out to debunk so-called paranormal claims of any kind.
The investigation team leader is a former FBI agent. Other investigators are a lead scientist, a professional photographer, a journalist, a tech specialist and a professional stunt expert. These people are not easily duped, however they too occasionally encounter cases that they can't debunk, no matter how cleverly and creatively they attempt to do so.
For example, the Pride House in Texas is reputed to be one of the most haunted houses in the Nation. On this particular occasion the team Leader, the lead scientist and the tech specialist worked together in attempting to debunk the photo of a misty entity captured on the staircase.
Regardless of the many techniques they used to replicate the likeness of the picture taken in the Pride house, the debunk team was unable to do so to their full satisfaction. They then decided to spend the night in the Pride house, under a tightly controlled environment that included the use of several technical and scientific instruments, to see whether they could capture any evidence on the validity of the picture that they couldn't debunk.
Not only did their instruments provide them with proof positive that some discarnate entity was indeed present in the house at the time, but they also underwent first-hand experience of some inexplicable events that took place right before their eyes.
In the end they had to admit that there is something that their vast amount of expertise could not explain in the Pride house.
The "Fact or Faked" investigators proved in this case, that there are people who, for whatever reason, choose to remain within the familiar realm of the earth even after they are dead. These people are called "earthbound" spirits, because they refuse to or are unable of moving forward.
Does Death Exist? New Theory Says "No"
The idea here is to keep our minds open to the many awe-inspiring mysteries that surround us, whether they are within our immediate grasp, or not. Often, as Brian Greene stated above, it's not so much about answering a question or solving a mystery as it is knowing what questions to ask first and foremost.
"When we gain a deep familiarity with the questions, a real profound understanding of the questions themselves—such as, why is there space, why is there time, why is there a Universe—then at least that would be the first step towards coming to answers."
That means if we ask the right questions, we will find the right answers. So the real question here is not so much "Why am I afraid of death?" as rather "What is Death?" "Why am I Here?" "Why is there a Universe?" "What is the nature of Time?" "What is Space?" and so forth. By asking the right questions we will gain greater understanding on the mystery of death, and this understanding will empower us to smooth the jagged edge of fear.
If the thought of death is still frightening to us, it might help to realize that more and more scientific evidence points towards the continuation of existence after death. Some of these scientific theories challenge the commonly upheld idea that death is absolute, as explained in Dr. Robert Lanza's article, "Does Death Exist? New Theory Says 'No." Robert Lanza is considered one of the leading scientists in the world.
Moving deeper into the third millennium, we will see religion and science go hand in hand. No longer will religion hold a monopoly on belief in life after death. This doesn't mean that the purpose of religion will end, by far. On the contrary, we will always need the guidance of religion to further our spiritual growth! However, science will be present to religion in a supporting role, as it continues to strive to understand the meaning of life, death and everything in between, by constantly looking for the right questions to ask.
If you have faith, scientific explanations will not be necessary to support your belief in the spiritual world and in the afterlife; however it will be a source of deep satisfaction to see that the esteemed body of science is marching to the tune of eternal and fundamental truths.
My hope is that one day belief in life after death that I share with my fellow Christians will also be supported by actual scientific facts, because fear of death is quite simply a fear of the unknown. Once the element of the unknown is taken out of the equation, there will be nothing left to feed that fear.

Alain de Botton, author of The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, discusses lessons he learned from observing workers at a United Biscuits factory in the UK.
According to Botton, highly specialized jobs lead to a sense of aimlessness in many workers. "The problem of the modern world...is it becomes very, very hard to see the impacts that you have on anybody's life."
Author Alain de Botton discusses the taboo of sexual relations between coworkers.
He draws comparisons between the Catholic Church's stance on sex to the polices found at many places of work. "What the large corporation has to deny is the idea that sex might be more fun than work," says Botton.
Author Alain de Botton says routine work allows us to impose order, provides us a distraction from thoughts of deaths and permits us to be something "slightly better than we manage to be in our day-to-day life."

Thomas V. Brogan, MD, is attending physician at Seattle Children's Hospital and Harborview Medical Center and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He completed a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in pediatric critical care medicine. Dr Brogan has published a number of peer-reviewed articles and several chapters with an emphasis on respiratory physiology.
He has also published a number of articles related to pediatric critical care including studies on mechanical ventilation, necrotizing fasciitis and ECMO. Brogan's research centers primarily on outcomes of children treated in the PICU, with an emphasis on extracorporeal life support. He has been a collaborating researcher on several research projects. He also serves as reviewer for a number of medical journals. In addition to his research he has served as director of extracorporeal support services at Children's since 2001. He also serves as a member of the transport committee.
Our son was in the PICU for 32 days and needed to be put on ECMO. This was an extremely scary time for us, but Dr. Brogan helped us to understand what was going on. He made special trips in to see us to make sure that we didn't have any questions and when we did, he would really listen and address our concerns. He was insturmental in saving our son's life. Now that our son is in rehab, regaining his strenth and endurance, Dr. Brogan continues to stop in to check on his progress. The entire PICU teams works together. That teamwork and Dr. Brogan's expertise is why my son will be walking out of here in a few days. We give Dr. Brogan the highest recommendation possilbe.
Dr. Brogan helped us when our 4 yr. old son was in PICU. His support, knowledge, communication and compassion helped us through one of the most difficult times of our lives.
Our sixteen year old son is currently being treated by dr brogan and are very pleased with his bedside manner and professionalizem, he is very good with keeping us informed as to the care and treatment of our son.

In an Oct. 1 statement, Ines Franck of the local Committee on Bioethics urged Macri to exercise his "constitutional prerogative, this time in defense of the lives of the unborn."
Macri has said he would oppose the law because it allows minors under the age of 14 who were raped to obtain an abortion without parental consent and at any time throughout the pregnancy.
"Not only would he thus be fulfilling an unavoidable duty of justice," Franck said, "but also he would be respecting the ethical and moral convictions of the majority who those who voted for him in the capital city.

130 workers make $40K or more in OT in Montgomery County
Tuesday - 2/25/2014, 9:30am  ET
ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Clocking overtime is a well-established way to boost the paycheck. But in Montgomery County, some employees are racking up more in overtime than they earn in their base pay.
According to new salary data released on dataMontgomery, a county website, more than 130 county employees took home at least $40,000 in overtime last year.
A corrections officer punched the clock the hardest, earning $122,000 in overtime pay.
The figures show an expansion among the highest overtime earners.
In 2012, 94 county workers earned at least $40,000 in overtime, according to The Washington Post.
Most of those are firefighters and corrections officers.
Six employees in the fire department were paid at least $90,000 each in overtime in 2013, the paper reports.
County officials here, as elsewhere, defend the use of overtime by saying the alternative of adding new hires would be more costly.

The 5 Best Nora Ephron-y Tributes to Nora Ephron
When legendary author/screenwriter/feminist/Huffington Post blogger Nora Ephron passed away on Tuesday, the Internet immediately lit up with tributes and personalized memorials. Everyone, it seemed, had something to say about their relation to Ms. Ephron's work. Though she was a real reporter, most people remember her as the queen of first-person journalism (with the subject of interest being herself). Which meant that a lot of these memorials–if they weren't dashed off tweets saying "R.I.P. Nora"– were about the writer's relationship with Ms. Ephron's work, taking on the voice of the Crazy Salad author in what amounted to some strange transference/fan fiction-y memorials.
With the knowledge that to write like Nora Ephron is not to be Nora Ephron, we can't help but love some of these amazing eulogies honoring the cultural icon's passing by writing a eulogy in her voice. Read More

12 oz. Brown Bottle. Second Review, this one with Mosaic Hops. I really liked the
A: Same, less carbonation, less lacing.
S: Better, More hops, mosaic is nice. Fruits and citrus seem stronger.
T/M: More hops which are stronger and more bitter. Has a strange taste. Not sure
if this is the mosaic hops or what.
O: Not as good as the original. Has an overall strange taste that I am not used to.
Still drinkable but runs in the middle quality wise.

Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA - 6% ABV - Consumed March 27, 2013
A: pours a clear copper hue with a thick, off-white cap and strands of stringy lacing on the shaker glass. Lively bubbles in the body. Solid looking brew.
S: honeyed wheat cracker, peach, steeped tea, navel orange, herbal hops, slightly earthy and mineral-like aroma, jujube candy, biscuit, faint lemon. Very appealing nose, but closer to an ESB than a US IPA (too mild).
T: peach, honey, pine, green tea, mango, caramel, herbal and zesty hops, lemon, and bread crust. Tastes like an English/US IPA hybrid. Enjoyable and unique.
M: medium bodied, juicy-oily middle, zesty and citric hop bitterness with a clean, drying finish. Simple yet satisfying palate.
O: well-rounded, thirst quenching, above average IPA with some English IPA/ESB elements. Tasty and drinkable even though it's not exactly on style.

Poured from the bottle into a Turbinator (hey, proper glassware for once)
A: Deep orange with active carbonation. the Turbinator's exciter ring of dots does its job. with a good stream that leads to a very tight head, almost looked nitrocharged. head is a nice rocky two fingers that settles to a slender girls' pinky of head.
S: Citrus, astringent Bitter melon. Cumin and earthy scents are presenting as gentle, not like other huge Mosaic DIPA I had lately. malt is similar to the Boston Lager profile, Caramel or Vienna probably, Yeast is not interfering but gives a light a light spicy backbone to the toastiness.
T: Citrus, melon, earthiness and yield to a spicy and then sweet, lightly toasted breadiness.
M: Smooth as expected, that feels like a nitro charge again. prickly on sides, puckery on sides. malted sweetness combines with elements to make a pleasant finish that is not overly bitter or dry, just nice.
O: This is a very good use of the new school hop Mosaic and does not beat you over the head with it, but the approach is well worth the time to sit with it and sip a spell.

A- Dark amber, almost red color. Poured a nice creamy 1 finger head with aggressive pour. Really nice lacing.
S- Big caramel up front. Orange, tropical fruit, floral, and earthy spice round it out.
T- Sweet caramel, citrus and pine up front, then joined by earthy hop spice mingling with grapefruit. Fairly hoppy bitterness on the finish leaving some grassy and woodsy notes behind.
M- Medium body with crisp carbonation. Slick and oily on the tongue. Drying finish.
O- Much better than I thought it was going to be! The only thing that threw me a little was the big bitterness on the finish. That being said, I would definitely drink this again if offered.

McHale back with Rockets after daughter's death | Story Highlights McHale took leave on Nov. 10 to be with family as daughter's health declinedHouston went 7-6 under interim coach Kelvin Sampson while McHale was outRockets tributing McHale's daughter by wearing green and purple on their jerseys |
HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston coach Kevin McHale has rejoined the Rockets after almost a month away from the team, and two weeks after the death of his daughter.
McHale took a leave of absence on Nov. 10 to be with his family as his daughter's health worsened. Alexandra "Sasha'' McHale died Nov. 24 of complications from Lupus. She was 23.
"It's been a while,'' he said. "Hopefully it's the right time. I don't know there ever is a right time. I don't know if there is a playbook about this, but I'm excited to be back.''
McHale will coach the Rockets on Saturday night against the Mavericks.
Houston went 7-6 under interim coach Kelvin Sampson while McHale was out.
McHale said he spoke with Sampson daily, watched each game and tried to stay plugged into the team as much as he could while he was away.
"It was hard. I don't want to get into the whole thing, but it was hard because your mind is a million miles away, but yet you're still watching games and you're still pulling for the guys so hard and you want them to win,'' he said. "A lot of times that hour of the day (talking to Sampson) was sometimes the best part of the day.''
The second-year coach and Hall of Fame player complimented the job Sampson and the rest of the staff did while he was out. He said he felt bad that he had to leave this young team, which was trying to fit new pieces together, just when the season was starting.
"There just was a ton of adjustments to be made, and I thought they did a really good job of making adjustments,'' he said of his coaching staff.
McHale never directly addressed his daughter, but he did note that he appreciated the support he received from various people around the league during this difficult time.
"I've heard from a lot of people (and) that's been tremendous,'' he said. "I had a lot of guys that I didn't know that well that really reached out, and I spent a lot of time talking to them. It's a terrible situation ... it's incomprehensible. But it meant a lot.''
The Rockets are paying tribute to McHale's daughter by wearing a green and purple band on their jerseys and a patch of the same color with her initials on their warm-up shirts. Green was her favorite color, and purple is the color that represents the fight against Lupus.

This Luke Skywalker in Dagobah Fatigues was released individually carded in the The Power Of The Force 2 toy line in 1996. Luke can be seen wearing this outfit while training with Yoda on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back.
The figure has swivel joints in the neck, shoulders, the waist and both legs. Unfortunately, the figure can only barely stand by itself, and you'll have to use a stand if you'd like to display it for longer than a few minutes. Kenner included the POTF2 typical bulky blaster, and a blue lightsaber, both of which Skywalker can hold tightly in either hand.
The paint job on Dagobah Luke is very simple, but where this figure really fails is in the sculpt. From the way the legs are positioned, to he overly bulky shoulders and the face sculpt, it all looks off. All in all, this Luke Skywalker in Dagobah Fatigues from 1996 was a nice try by Kenner back then, but it is entirely outdated from head to toe compared with modern figures.

Why collaboration is so critical to reduce time to market
When I first heard about collaboration for development teams it seemed to have very soft benefits, and was
hard to quantify. But I've been thinking about it in the context of lean, and realised collaboration is
critical to improving a development process - and collaborative tools may well be the key to unlocking
that improvement.
When you think about software development in terms of a lean process, then an average team will have a
process efficiency of about 20% ( i.e. only 20% of the time taken to deliver a feature... [More]

What makes you agile? Part two - Living Lean
Recently, while visiting a client site, I was excited to see a large breakout room labeled "Agile Room". You can only imagine my surprise when I walked in the door. I saw a series of cubicles. I saw people working very quietly and independently. I saw a scantly populated dusty board with only a few sticky notes and one single column labeled "Done". When I asked about the naming of the room, they replied, "Oh, well, we just call ourselves 'agile' because we deliver faster by not testing at all." Doh! But all is not lost (on you, not them)...

The New England Patriots lead the league in yards gained on offense, with 2,197 yards. They lead the league in first downs (by a country mile, with 151). And they also lead the league in points scored through five weeks, at 33.0 per game.So how are they doing it?It helps that the New England offense has snapped the ball 388 times in five games, tops in the NFL. Here are the leaders in total offensive plays: New England 388 Kansas City 366 Philadelphia 350 Miami 348 New Orleans 344The Patriots are tops in rushing attempts (191 total, or 38.2 per game), which is somewhat of a surprise considering they have a future Hall-of-Fame QB in Tom Brady. Brady has 185 passing attempts, and the offensive balance is working, especially since Brady has thrown just 1 INT.What the Patriots are doing extremely well is converting possessions into points.Excluding end-of-half/game kneel-downs, the Patriots have had 57 drives so far in 2012; he...

Billionaire Boys Club: Bloomberg Produces $1 B. Out of Thin Air For City Infrastructure
Remember shovel ready projects? Thought they were so 2009? Well, you'd be wrong, at least here in New York, where Mayor Bloomberg, Council Speaker Christine Quinn and the ever financially creative City Comptroller John Liu have done some juggling with the city's capital construction program to fast track $1 billion worth of infrastructure work. These projects will begin in the coming months, rather than in the coming years. Let's hear it for putting people to work. Read More

Communication ManVladimir and Georgii Stenberg were born in Moscow, in 1899 and 1900. They attended the Stroganov School of Applied Art and took classes in military engineering. In the early 1920s they joined with other artists including Alexander Rodchenko in an exhibition of Constructivist sculpture and painting. The Stenbergs' contributions were non objective sculptures of glass, metal, wire, and wood showing lines and planes floating in space. Their earliest graphic design efforts were for the theater which the Soviet state supported as a powerful propaganda tool. They provided inventive and graphic costumes and sets for the Moscow Chamber Theater productions by George Bernard Shaw, Eugene O'Neill and Bertolt Brecht. In one case they included the names of the characters running down the sides of their costumes.

Wide-eyed PrintmakingBeginning in the late 19th century, the medium of printmaking played an integral role in the creation of modern Mexican art, a tradition that can be traced back to the work of, among others, José Guadalupe Posada. But it was in the post-revolutionary period of the early 20th century that large groups of Mexican artists, often with the support of the government, began using printmaking as a means of expression that allowed for large-scale dissemination.

In recognition of their contribution to people's well-being locally and around the world, Auburn University's College of Human Sciences honored Howard G. Buffett and Tim Cook at the annual International Quality of Life Awards on Tuesday, Dec. 10 in New York City.
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Global Partnerships Forum - a unique platform bringing together leaders from the public and private sectors to address global challenges, through mutually beneficial partnerships. Building on the vision and leadership of Secretary-General H.E. BAN Ki-moon, we work closely with the UN family and other international institutions to engage state and non-state actors to develop high-impact collaborations. These innovative partnerships promote economic growth and foster greater prosperity around the world.
In 1997 when Ted Turner committed US$1 billion to support UN causes, it became clear that the needs of the underprivileged could not be solved unilaterally, but require multiple constituencies to collaborate in support of common goals. This was the genesis of the Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships Model: using the expertise of the private sector, normative leadership of the public sector, and successful delivery mechanisms of civil society.
Our mission moves beyond aid to economic empowerment in emerging markets. One flagship partnership is the Pearl Initiative, a private sector-led organization to create a greater culture of transparency and accountability in the Gulf region. Using new avenues and leadership models, and by encouraging Personal Social Responsibility, we collaborate with business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, investors, and thought leaders from all sectors – to encourage long term investments that also promote social good and work towards the Millennium Development Goals.
The challenges are enormous, as are the opportunities. Using the power of partnerships, we look forward to working with you on a broad range of sustainable development strategies, to invest in people for social change.
We invite you to join us in this collective effort and warmly welcome your expertise and engagement.
Yours sincerely,
Amir Dossal

Etrich Taube
Etrich-Rumpler Taube | |
Role | Fighter, Bomber, Surveillance, and Trainer |
Manufacturer | Various |
Designer | Igo Etrich |
First flight | 1910 |
Primary user | Luftstreitkräfte |
The Etrich Taube, also known by the names of the various later manufacturers who build versions of the type, such as the Rumpler Taube, was a pre-World War I monoplane aircraft. It was the first mass-produced military plane in Germany. As Imperial Germany's first practical military aircraft, the Taube ("dove") was used for virtually all military aircraft applications, as a fighter, bomber, surveillance aircraft and trainer from 1910 until the start of World War I in August 1914.
The Taube was very popular prior to the First World War, and it was also used by the air forces of Italy and Austria-Hungary. Even the Royal Flying Corps operated at least one Taube in 1912. On November 1, 1911, Giulio Gavotti, an Italian aviator, had dropped the world's first aerial bomb from his Taube monoplane over the Ain Zara oasis in Libya.[1] Once the war began, it quickly proved inferior as a serious warplane and as a result was soon replaced by newer and more effective designs.
Design and development[edit]
The Taube was designed in 1909 by Igo Etrich of Austria-Hungary, with its first flight in 1910. It was licensed for serial production by Lohner-Werke in Austria and by Edmund Rumpler in Germany, now called the Etrich-Rumpler-Taube.[2][3] Rumpler soon changed the name to Rumpler-Taube, and stopped paying royalties to Etrich, who subsequently abandoned his patent.
Despite its name, the Taube's unique wing form was not modeled after a dove, but was copied from the seeds of Zanonia macrocarpa, which float to the ground in a slow spiral caused by a single wing. Similar wing shapes were also used by Karl Jatho. Etrich had tried to build a flying wing aircraft based on the Zanonia wing shape, but the more conventional Taube type, with tail controls, was much more successful.
Etrich adopted the format of crosswind-capable main landing gear that Louis Blériot had used on his Blériot XI cross-channel monoplane for better ground handling, and gained biplane-like strength for the Taube's monoplane wing with a cable cross-braced, orthogonal-layout Brücke, or "bridge", beneath each wing panel, which often carried small wire-spoke wheels or skids at its outboard ends, for wingtip protection. Later Taube-type aircraft from other manufacturers would eventually replace the Blériot-style crosswind main gear with a simpler V-strut main gear format, and also omitted the underwing "bridge" structure for somewhat better aerodynamic efficiency.
Like many contemporary aircraft, especially monoplanes, the Taube used wing warping rather than ailerons for lateral (roll) control, and also warped the rear half of the stabilizer for use as an elevator control surface's function. Only the vertical, twinned triangular rudder surfaces were usually hinged.
Operational history[edit]
The design provided for very stable flight, which made it extremely suitable for observation. In addition, the translucent wings made it difficult for ground observers to detect a Taube at an altitude above 400 meters. The first hostile engagement was by an Italian Taube in 1911 in Libya, its pilot using pistols and dropping 2 kg (4.4 lb) bombs. The plane was also used for bombing in the Balkans in 1912–13, and in late 1914 when German 3 kg (6.6 lb) bomblets and propaganda leaflets were dropped over Paris. Taube spotter planes detected the advancing Imperial Russian Army in East Prussia during the World War I Battle of Tannenberg.
In civilian use, the Taube was used by pilots to win the Munich-Berlin Kathreiner prize. On 8 December 1911, Gino Linnekogel and Suvelick Johannisthal achieved a two-man endurance record for flying a Taube 4 hours and 35 minutes over Germany.[4][5]
World War I[edit]
While initially there were two Taube aircraft assigned to Imperial German units stationed at Qingdao, China only one was available at the start of the war due to an accident. The Rumpler Taube piloted by Lieutenant Gunther Plüschow had to face the attacking Japanese, who had with them a total of eight aircraft. On October 2, 1914, Plüschow's Taube attacked the Japanese warships[clarification needed] with two small bombs, but failed to score any hits. On November 7, 1914, shortly before the fall of Qingdao, Plüschow was ordered to fly top secret documents to Shanghai, but was forced to make an emergency landing at Lianyungang in Jiangsu, where he was interned by a local Chinese force. Plüschow was rescued by local Chinese civilians under the direction of an American missionary, and successfully reached his destination at Shanghai with his top secret documents, after giving the engine to one of the Chinese civilians who rescued him.
Poor rudder and lateral control made the Taube difficult and slow to turn. The aeroplane proved to be a very easy target for the faster and more mobile Allied fighters of World War I, and just six months into the war, the Taube had been removed from front line service to be used to train new pilots. Many future German aces would learn to fly in a Rumpler Taube.
Due to the lack of license fees, no less than 14 companies built a large number of variations of the initial design, making it difficult for historians to determine the exact manufacturer based on historical photographs. An incomplete list is shown below. The most common version was the Rumpler Taube with two seats.

Survivors and flyable reproductions[edit]
The Technisches Museum Wien is thought to have the only known remaining Etrich-built example of the Taube in existence, an early enough example to have a four-cylinder engine powering it,[7] and is potentially a twin to Gavotti's Taube aircraft from 1911, also said to have been powered with a four-cylinder inline engine. Other examples of original Taubes exist, such as one in Norway, which was the last original Taube to fly under its own power in 1922, over a Norwegian fjord.
The Owl's Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head, Maine USA, is so far the only known museum to attempt the construction of a flyable reproduction of the Etrich Taube in North America. Their example first flew in 1990, and it still flies today with the power of a 200 hp Ranger L-440 inline-6 "uprighted" air-cooled engine.[8]
