Uses For oxymorphone
Oxymorphone injection is used to treat moderate to severe pain, including labor pain. It may also be given before surgery or with a general anesthetic (medicine that puts you to sleep), and may be used to relieve anxiety for patients with breathing problems from pulmonary edema caused by heart disease.
Oxymorphone injection belongs to the group of medicines called narcotic analgesics (pain medicines). It acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain.
When oxymorphone injection is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming, causing mental or physical dependence. However, people who have continuing pain should not let the fear of dependence keep them from using narcotics to relieve their pain. Mental dependence (addiction) is not likely to occur when narcotics are used for this purpose. Physical dependence may lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. However, severe withdrawal side effects can usually be prevented by gradually reducing the dose over a period of time before treatment is stopped completely.
oxymorphone is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using oxymorphone
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For oxymorphone, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to oxymorphone or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of oxymorphone injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of oxymorphone injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart disease, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving oxymorphone injection.
Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |

Proper Use of oxymorphone
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you oxymorphone in a hospital. oxymorphone may be given as a shot under the skin, as a shot into one of your muscles, or through a needle placed in one of your veins.
Your doctor will give you a few doses of oxymorphone until your condition improves, and then switch you to an oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
Precautions While Using oxymorphone
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you are receiving oxymorphone. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it.
oxymorphone will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that can make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; other prescription pain medicine or narcotics; medicine for seizures or barbiturates; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the medicines listed above while you are using oxymorphone.
oxymorphone may be habit-forming. If you feel that the medicine is not working as well, do not use more than your prescribed dose. Call your doctor for instructions.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help lessen this problem. Also, lying down for a while may relieve the dizziness or lightheadedness.
oxymorphone may make you dizzy, drowsy, confused, or disoriented. Make sure you know how you react to oxymorphone before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
Using narcotics for a long time can cause severe constipation. To prevent this, your doctor may direct you to take laxatives, drink a lot of fluids, or increase the amount of fiber in your diet. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, because continuing constipation can lead to more serious problems.
If you have been using oxymorphone regularly for several weeks or longer, do not suddenly stop using it without checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are using before stopping it completely. This may help prevent worsening of your condition and reduce the possibility of withdrawal symptoms, such as abdominal or stomach cramps, anxiety, fever, nausea, runny nose, sweating, tremors, or trouble with sleeping.
Do not take other medicines unless thy have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

Academic Flexibility: Flexibility among students and professors is just amazing. Our professors help us out a lot, they try to give us extra credit and other opportunities to improve our grades. They don't just make our work easier but they show us how things really need to get done. The professors that I have had in the past months have taught me a lot of new things that I hadn't stopped to wonder about. The way they do things is the best because that way we are always kept busy with work. We have enough work for the whole week, and honestly, it isn't even that overwhelming if we set apart time for everything.
Academic Flexibility: I think the classes aren't too bad, the workload is manageable, and the four professors I have currently are very helpful and are there if you have a question.
Academic Flexibility: The academic flexibility here does not apply to me yet, however, I plan to transfer to a graduate school and they are gearing me for that as a freshman which is great.
Academic Flexibility: They have a lot of classes to choose from and many different campuses to go and choose from.
Academic Flexibility: Since I am an online student, my experience has been extremely convenient! I am able to incorporate things into my day and take care of my family and at the same time, work on my school work.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Zama Ouedraogo
The academic flexibility at Arizona Western College benefits students a lot through day and evening classes, online and traditional classes, and parallel bi-session classes to help them fit school into their daily lives. Class meetings twice a week (bi-sessions) provide students with choices between a Monday/Wednesday session schedule and a Tuesday/Thursday session routine. This also allows students to catch up on a session they have missed since the same professor teaches both Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday sessions at the same pace. There are also evening sessions for those students that work during the daytime.
Students also have online class options. Online classes give students even more freedom, but they call for more responsibility from the student. Instructors still have office hours, besides email and phone communication, so students can walk in when they have problems and need help. There are also hybrid classes—part web-based, part traditional—which meet only a couple of times during the semester. Online classes, evening classes, and parallel bi-session classes make it easier for students to adjust their class schedule to their job and other extracurricular activities.

'Warehouse 13' stays open for a fourth season
"Under executive producer Jack Kenny's leadership, this superlative team of writers, cast, and crew continue to turn out a series that only gets better and better with every episode," says Mark Stern, head of original content for Syfy. "'Warehouse 13' is deservedly the most popular series in our history and we're delighted to renew it for a fourth season."
Through its first five episodes this season, the show is averaging about 3.2 million total viewers (including DVR playback), 1.5 million of whom fall in the adults 18-49 demographic. The show has improved across the board on its numbers from Season 2.
Syfy says the show will return in 2012. A more specific date hasn't been set, but we expect another summer run next year.
Isn't this also one of the few shows they run on a semi-normal schedule, meaning they don't run 6 episodes, then take 18 months off and run 7 episodes more in "part two" of the season?
Don't get me wrong- I think it's a great show. But maybe there other series would be more successful if they, y'know, aired them consistently.
This is really good news. Warehouse 13 is my favorite scripted show that is still on the air.
I just hope SyFy doesn't pull a "Eureka" in a few days and declare that, in fact, Warehouse 13 has been cancelled.
This is a really great show. Keep Lindsay Wagner coming back guest starring and you cannot lose!! Lindsay Rocks!!
Great program but needs to keep the original group chemistry intact.For whatever reason this Jinx guy is there, it sure flows a lot better without him.
Great news. Larry SyFy shows like other cable shows do 12 episodes then it'd off for between 9 months and a year. I like Jinx but I don't think he fits in well with the group. Although I wouldn't mind seeing him have more screen time with Claudia
I'm surprised that they cancel Eureka but keep Warehouse 13. I find Eureka a lot better written and with much more story-line potential. But who can keep up with the flaky reasoning/rational of the Original Program hierarchy?
I liked Warehouse 13 a lot better the first time I saw it...when it was called "Friday the 13th: The Series." At least it wasn't so goofy back then.

A year after Hurricane Sandy flooded thousands of houses on the New Jersey and New York coast, the FEMA-run National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has released figures for flood insurance payouts related to the catastrophic storm. The bottom line: NFIP has paid out about $7.85 billion dollars in the hardest-hit states—$3.57 billion for New Jersey, and $3.36 billion for New York. The Sandpaper reported the story on November 27 (for the full Sandpaper item, see: "N.J. Flood Insurance Numbers Released One Year After Sandy," by Michael Molinaro).
"One year after Sandy, the NFIP has closed 99.6% of the approximately 144,000 total claims for Sandy, 74,508 of which came from New Jersey," the Sandpaper reports. Insurers "paid on average just about $55,000 on closed claim payments for Sandy as of Oct. 28. Claims from New York received on average $10,000 more than those in New Jersey, about $62,000 for New York versus about $52,000 for New Jersey."
For some contractors, insurance work has been their bread and butter since the storm. One contractor interviewed by the Sandpaper, Adam Van Nevius, owner of Manahawkin-based Coastal Restorations, said the $55,000-per-claim figure was low compared to his experience with customers. But he noted that often a knowledgeable contractor can find more insurance money for his clients with a careful inspection and estimate.
Said Van Nevius: "I have extensive experience working with insurance companies. What I have done is look over copies of claims and gone through them with a fine-tooth comb and found some things they missed. They have gone back to the insurance company or I have dealt with them directly and we have been very successful with getting them extra money. There's usually an extra $10,000 floating out there. Insurance companies like homeowners because they don't understand the whole process, and when a contractor writes a letter where they have legitimately left things out, we can correct that."

Leadership in Public Good Provision: a Timing Game Perspective
We address in this paper the issue of leadership when two governments provide public goods to their constituencies with cross border externalities as both public goods are valued by consumers in both countries. We study a timing game between two different countries: before providing public goods, the two policymakers non-cooperatively decide their preferred sequence of moves. We establish conditions under which a first- or second-mover advantage emerges for each country, highlighting the role of spillovers and the strategic complementarity or substitutability of public goods. As a result we are able to prove that there is no leader when, for both countries, public goods are substitutable. When public goods are complements for both countries, both countries may emerge as the leader in the game. Hence a coordination issue arises. We use the notion of risk-dominance to select the leading government. Lastly, in the mixed case, the government for whom public goods are substitutable becomes the leader.Download Info

The Supreme Court's shameful, and sharply divided, decision last month regarding race-based preferences in higher education seems to have taken the wind out of some conservatives' sails. In a recent article in The National Law Journal, conservative Michael Greve, a long-time opponent of race-based "affirmative action" policies, believes that after Grutter v. Bollinger it is now "harder to persuade people this is a righteous fight." The conservative will to fight racial discrimination and defend justice is broken; "the broader question is settled and everything else is sort of skirmishes."
But not all conservatives are throwing up their hands in defeat. Some patriots in Colorado are pledging themselves to fight for individual rights, and the principle that a man ought to be judged by his character, not his skin color. Claremont Institute Vice President Thomas Krannawitter explains why they are right, and why the arguments for affirmative action cannot stand on their own grounds. To read his article, "The Ugly Politics of the Boxes," visit the Claremont Institute's website at www.claremont.org or click here.

Description: The filmmakers who rattled viewers with The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Daniel Hunt return to explore outspoken author Naomi Wolf's controversial claim that America has begun a frightening descent into dictatorship with this documentary that takes its title from the incendiary novel of the same name. Is American democracy, as we know it under attack? By examining the chilling parallels between the current state of our nation and the ascent of dictators and fascism in other once-free societies, Wolf urges viewers to open their eyes to the horrors that could lie ahead. From the increased use of paramilitary groups to the construction of secret prisons and the targeted suspension of the rule of law, the warning signs are all there for people to wake up and finally take notice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Move over, Diner Dash -- there's a new girl game on the market. "Fashion Hazard" is an arcade-style video game for the iPad and iPhone that lets gamers choose a fashion model avatar and then guide her down an action-packed runway, dodging obstacles like red paint, flying lattes, and other antagonistic models. No surprise that the game was created by Interactive Product Group, a part of Conde Nast, the media giant that publishes "Vogue," "Glamour," and "GQ."
Related: Bows: Not Just For Girly-Girls
The game was influenced by "Temple Run," a fast-paced, Indiana Jones-esque chase through an ancient temple. "Fashion Hazard" is similar, only a catwalk replaces the temple paths. It's being introduced as a sort of antidote to the typical video games for girls that are all about running a cupcake store or dressing up dolls. "Fashion Hazard" is clearly trying to make the statement that girls like action, too, and arcade-style games are not just for boys.
Related: 10 Things to Steal From Your Boyfriend
But, even though this video game is filled with action … it's still girly action. Is dodging lattes or models really any different than baking a cake? Is this game just perpetuating girly stereotypes? We're thinking if a girl loves the thrill of action and simulated danger that a "Temple Run" type game provides, dodging coffee cups might be a bit of a letdown.
What do you think? Is "Fashion Hazard" a progressive video game for girls or just more of the same?

Paranoid Penguin - Brutally Practical Linux Desktop Security
Listing 2. Network Listeners (Post-Hardening)
Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:swat *:* LISTEN udp 0 0 *:bootpc *:*
Not bad! Listing 2 shows that by clicking two buttons in the Swat interface and unchecking some boxes in the Services Setting applet, I've clobbered 11 out of the 13 network listeners that previously had been active on my system.
But, I'm not done with listeners yet. There still are two left. I can't do much about bootpc, which is part of the dhcp client dæmon that most of us use to configure low-level TCP/IP settings automatically when we connect to a LAN. Even at DEFCON, I'll need dhcpcd (bootpc) active in order to connect to the DEFCON WLAN.
Swat, on the other hand, is fair game to shut down, especially considering I've disabled all the rest of Samba. But hold on a second, I've forgotten how! There's neither a Swat entry anywhere in the Services Settings applet nor any applicable script in /etc/init.d. Maybe I can figure out the name of the actual process listening on the Swat port using the lsof (list open files) command, as shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3. Using lsof to Find Swat's Process
bash-$ sudo lsof -i :swat COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME inetd 29534 root 4u IPv4 521556 TCP *:swat (LISTEN)
Oh, now I remember! Swat is run by inetd, which on Ubuntu systems is part of the package openbsd-inetd. You may remember my disabling xinetd in Services Settings, but openbsd-inetd's startup script has to be disabled manually, the old-school Debian way (Listing 4).
Listing 4. Manually Disabling a Startup Script
bash-$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd stop bash-$ sudo update-rc.d -f openbsd-inetd remove Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd ... /etc/rc0.d/K20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc1.d/K20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc2.d/S20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc3.d/S20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc4.d/S20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc5.d/S20openbsd-inetd /etc/rc6.d/K20openbsd-inetd
In Listing 4, you can see that I first stopped openbsd-inetd via its startup script and then forcibly removed the various runlevel-links in /etc/rc0.d, etc/rc1.d and so forth, via the update-rc.d command. I can undo all this later, as shown in Listing 5.
Listing 5. Manually Re-enabling a Startup Script
bash-$ sudo update-rc.d openbsd-inetd start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd ... /etc/rc0.d/K20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc1.d/K20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc6.d/K20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc2.d/S20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc3.d/S20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc4.d/S20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd /etc/rc5.d/S20openbsd-inetd -> ../init.d/openbsd-inetd bash-$ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd start * Starting internet superserver inetd
Obviously, I will need to make note of the sequence number (in this example, 20 for both the start and kill links) and the runlevels (2–5 for starting and 0, 1 and 6 for killing). As it happens, the settings for openbsd-inetd also are Ubuntu's defaults, so I could use the command sudo update-rc.d openbsd-inetd defaults when re-enabling that particular service.
I've spent the bulk of this column shutting down network services. Is that all there is to system hardening?
Ordinarily not. If we were talking about a server, we'd have a lot more work to do: configuring individual applications for maximum security, disabling unnecessary user accounts, tightening file permissions, configuring an integrity checker such as tripwire, maybe creating a local iptables firewall script and so forth.
But this is my personal laptop, a single-user system. Shutting down and disabling unnecessary network listeners really is 90% of what I need to do to "harden" it. Most of the rest of what I need to do concerns how I use this system. Before I get to that, however, I need to harden one killer application: my Web browser.
I just have been to a seminar
I just have been to a seminar and they told us the exact same thing. Thanks for sharing, you made a great point.
Great Article, but can you tell us some more?
Great read this month. I really like that you address an issue for very insecure networks but relate it to everyday use. I was motivated afterward to check the security of my NFS/SVN server as well. When I did a netstat --inet -al, I saw lost of things I wasn't expecting. Maybe you could cover security of the "small home" server one of these next months (or is there something I missed in the past?).
Also, you mentioned using IMAPS, POP3S, etc... IMAP with the SSL option (say in Thunderbird) is just that, right?
As a closing comment, I appreciate that you also included info on the Firefox Add-ons like Ghostery, I'll be checking those out soon. But what about TOR? Does The Onion Router offer any security? Does it compromise security since you're asking others to handle your packets? What about if VPN isn't an option? I know I've used it in the past to get past domain name filtering on networks (all forums and blogs were blocked at my work once, including the ones on PHP I needed access to).
Thanks again for a good read, just when I was thinking I might not renew my subscription, you convinced me otherwise.
The thing about life is, no one gets out alive. Enjoy it while you can!
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.

This season, I've had a lot of inquiries from my friends about buying some of my crafts. But of course, I don't feel right taking their money (especially with the pound/dollar exchange). And I'm aware that some of the patterns I use, that are not my own, are for personal use only. So instead, I've been holding postal exchanges! Honestly, they're much more fun because I love the element of surprise.
This is a monster I made for a friend from university. Her brother was expecting a baby and she wanted to give him something personal and handmade. The monster is made using the dangercrafts pattern for Maddox the Monster BUT I did it in crochet! I'm glad about the way it turned out. I like that the skin of the monster is thicker, meaning more durability.
In exchange, she sent me some beautiful crafts from Benin. The pendant necklace is from the Bariba ethnic group. The metal disc is originally a child's bracelet, but has been transformed into a necklace with the brightly colored rafia. It's to ward off bad health. The scarf was handwoven and the bracelet is made from cow horn. I love the mustard color of the rafia rope and I can't wait to wear it this season!
I currently have plenty of exchanges in the works. I love getting things in the mail that aren't bills!

Office 2007 update comes early
Because Microsoft often gets rapped for delivering products late, it seems worth noting that, on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007, it delivered a product early.
The software maker issued the first service pack update to Office 2007, roughly a year after the product first became available to businesses.
The new update, which has gotten a whole lot less attention than Vista SP1, adds largely performance and stability improvements, along with making the server components of Office fully compatible with the forthcoming Windows Server 2008 update.
"These enhancements span the software applications and servers that home and office workers use each … Read more
Ulteo brings OpenOffice to Web browser
Ulteo, a company staffed by Linux veterans, on Wednesday launched the test version of a service that lets people run the OpenOffice.org desktop suite in the Firefox or Internet Explorer browsers.
The service is designed to let people collaborate with OpenOffice documents online and use the open-source application suite without having to download it.
People can also exchange documents in Microsoft's Office format or PDF. The service also supports the OpenDocument Format standard.
There are already several companies offering online versions of traditional desktop applications, including Google, Zoho, and others. Microsoft on Monday released Office Live Workspace, which … Read more
Office Live Workspace (almost) brings Office 2007 online
Microsoft is stepping closer to providing anywhere access to Office files. The free Office Live Workspace (more here), which lets people share work in Word, Excel and PowerPoint online, is expanding today to invite more beta testers.
You can sign up to try the work in progress at OfficeLive.com, although access may not be immediate. A final version is set for next spring.
When Office 2007 debuted nearly a year ago, it seemed curious that Microsoft offered no easy, one-click option for accessing work from the Web. Meanwhile, Zoho built an add-in for Office 2007, as Google Docs & Spreadsheets and other tools allowed people to share as well as compose work within a browser.
The free, ad-supported Office Live Workspace is a bridge to Office software, not a browser-based replica. Workspace synchronizes changes made to files stored both on a desktop and at Office Live's servers, including Outlook contacts and events. It works with Windows XP SP2, 2003 Server, or Vista with Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2 or higher (required for users of Mac OS 10.2 and up).
The online tools preview Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files as well as PDFs, PNGs, and JPGs. Workspace is meant to work in tandem with Word, Excel and PowerPoint XP, 2003, or 2007 running locally on a PC. You can preview, not edit, documents from a browser. Web Notes, on the other hand, do enable the creation and formatting of small text documents online.
Office Live Workspace emphasizes collaboration rather than composition. To share documents with other people, you can send them a secure URL without requiring them to sign in with a Windows Live ID. Everyone with access to the workspace can make and view each others' comments.
Those invited for editing can make changes to the work, as long as they have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on their hard drive. Office Live Workspace handily preserves the Track Changes feature from Office apps while also keeping five histories of a file. And the Share View screen allows control of another user's PC.
Another desktop component of this service is the Office Live Add-In for Microsoft Office. This is a quick download, although you'll have to restart the system afterward. Once it's installed, a Save to Office Live option will appear under the Office button within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, with the subsequent dialog box showing your available workspaces.
Workspaces are collections of documents. Ten templates are built to manage a classroom, sports team, travels, job search, household, and so forth. For example, a travel workspace will include an expense report spreadsheet with Word files for an itinerary, packing list, and personal data. You can store a maximum of 500 workspaces containing 500 documents each for a total of 500 MB per account and 25 MB per file.
Office users who learn about these tools are likely to come to depend upon them to stash their work online with a few, quick clicks. Workplaces that use Microsoft's staple software will probably find Workspace a fine collaboration tool that makes it easy to take work away from the office.
This is a well-designed service, but I'd still like something not only to store work, but to let me make edits without opening local applications. What if you only want to correct a misspelled byline in a 20 MB report? You'll have to open Word, since Office Live Workspace doesn't even allow light, text only edits within a browser.

OpenOffice.org releases security patch
Got OpenOffice 2.3 or prior versions? Be prepared to download a security patch.
The OpenOffice.org community has issued a patch for a "highly critical" security vulnerability in OpenOffice 2.3 and prior versions, according to a security advisory issued by Secunia on Wednesday.
A security flaw in a third party default database engine module, HSQLDB, shipped with OpenOffice 2.3 and prior versions, could allow malicious attackers to launch arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities could be exploited by manipulating the database documents processing, according to a security advisory issued by OpenOffice.org

New software
As a computer nerd, I hold this truth to be self-evident:
All new software contains bugs and design flaws
Thus, from a defensive computing standpoint, the latest is never the greatest. Someone who depends on his or her computer, in a serious way, is always best served by avoiding software that has just been released. With that as a backdrop, here are some thoughts as to what this means to you, in terms of current software choices.
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5
For one thing, it means don't buy a Macintosh computer--at least not now. I have nothing … Read more
Oxygen breathes more life into OpenOffice
Firefox has Flock and Songbird, but it's not the only open-source app with some nifty spin-offs. OxygenOffice Pro is developed from OpenOffice.org, but don't let the name fool you: It's completely free, and like a Thanksgiving turkey it's stuffed with even more features. (Anybody else up for a list of Turkey 2.0 features?) Anyway, it's very much like its parent, and you can opt out of whatever features you dislike during the installation.
Live Documents update: Sounding better all the time
On the assumption that not everyone reads comments, I wanted to post a comment here that was made in response to my earlier post on Live Documents. Net net: Live Documents is much more interesting than I had originally supposed. In fact, I just registered for an account. Here's why.
Is Live Documents simply a competitor to Microsoft Word? No:
[W]e offer the entire Office suite - online equivalents of Word, Excel and PowerPoint - and not just Word as you have mentioned. If it was only Word then yes, many of your points on create vs. collaborate are true but it is far more complex when your data is in a spreadsheet or presentation.What about the limitations inherent in being a pureplay SaaS/browser-based model?
...[W]hen we say that we are an "online" Office suite, we are not limiting ourselves to just a browser-centric experience. While we do offer a browser-based service that offers functionality equivalent to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, we also offer a client application that makes your existing version of Microsoft Office web-enabled.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The people who set West Virginia's hunting seasons have finalized a set of regulations designed to have hunters kill many more female deer.
Members of the state Natural Resources Commission on Sunday approved regulations for the state's 2012 big-game seasons, including those for deer. The new regulations seek to reduce deer populations in most counties by increasing bag limits for antlerless deer and creating incentives for hunters to kill antlerless deer instead of bucks.
One of the new regulations' most salient features include a requirement that hunters in counties with very high deer populations must kill an antlerless deer before they're allowed to kill a second antlered buck. The change will be in effect during both the archery and firearm seasons.
Another significant change -- which will go into effect in 2013 -- will allow hunters to take up to two deer a day, provided at least one is antlerless. This year, however, hunters will be allowed to kill just one deer a day.
The approved regulations also include a significant change to the antlerless-deer bag limits. In counties that had two- or four-deer limits in 2011, the 2012 bag limit will change to three. Wildlife officials sought the change in an attempt to simplify the regulations.
For towns and cities that hold urban deer seasons, the commission approved dramatically more liberal regulations. In place of bag limits that varied from town to town, a statewide bag limit of seven deer will go into effect this fall. Of the seven, two can be antlered bucks and the remainder must be antlerless. Municipalities will be able to open their special seasons as early as the second Saturday in September.
To increase the take of female deer before the "rut," or deer-mating season, commissioners approved a new three-day, late-October firearm season for antlerless deer. This year's season will be held Oct. 25-27.
The new October season forced wildlife officials to split the state's fall turkey season.
The original Division of Natural Resources proposal called for three weeks of turkey hunting that would have begun on a Monday, followed by another week in December. The proposal proved unpopular with hunters, who argued that the Monday opener would cause them to lose one full Saturday of turkey hunting.
DNR officials acquiesced, instead proposing a Saturday opener followed by a full week of turkey hunting; a break to accommodate the new antlerless-deer season; and an unbroken three-week resumption of the turkey season. This year's fall turkey season dates will run Oct. 13-20 and Oct. 29-Nov. 17.

Which departure date suits you best?
Tour Code
A day-by-day breakdown of what to expect and where you'll be staying.
Day 1, Johannesburg to Francistown
Off we go! Leaving the city behind we head for the desert and onward to the Zimbabwe border. It is a long and fairly uneventful drive today however the changing scenery and landscapes are beautiful.
Day 2, Francistown to Hwange National Park
A short drive puts us on the edge of Hwange National Park and our game viewing begins! Other than the huge herds of Elephant, keep an eye out for some stunning bird watching with over 400 different species to see.
Day 3, Hwange National Park to Victoria Falls
An early morning game drive is a great way to start the day. After lunch we are Victoria Falls bound - home of the magnificent, stunning water fall with the same name. Here we spend a bit of time organising activities for the next couple of days.
Day 4, Victoria Falls
Today you will have a chance to do a few of the optional activities on offer in this adventure paradise. The Falls can be seen from many viewing points in the Victoria Falls Park or from the Zambian side. You will have many photo opportunities. Bungee jumping enthusiasts can take the plunge from the Zambezi Bridge, which connects Zambia and Zimbabwe and the White water rafting is considered world class. Also, flights over the Vic Falls and the islands are available.
Day 5, Victoria Falls to Lower Zambezi Valley
Crossing the railway bridge beside the Falls we exit Zimbabwe and enter Zambia. After a short stop in Livingstone there is a fairly long drive ahead to reach tonights campsite.
Day 6 to 7, Lower Zambezi Valley
An early start sees us packing light and jumping in our canoes on the mighty Zambezi for the next 2 days. Travelling downstream means little effort is required allowing time to check out the wildlife, birdlife and local hippo population. NB: In the case of extreme temperatures or very low water levels it will not be possible to canoe the river. In this case a 2 night houseboat excursion on Lake Kariba will be substituted.
Day 8, Lower Zambezi Valley to Lake Kariba
Jumping off the canoes we head to Lake Kariba - the largest artificial lake in the world.
Day 9, Lake Kariba to Chinhoyi
A short drive today as we travel to Chinhoyi. A chance to check out the caves!
Day 10, Chinhoyi to Chimanimani National Park via (Harare)
After the caves it is just a short drive from Chinhoyi to Harare where we will stock up the truck and have some lunch. After lunch the Chimanimani National Park awaits with its spectacular scenery and good hiking opportunities. If time allows there could be a hike to the Bridal Veil Falls on the cards.
Day 11, Chimanimani National Park to Chimanimani National Park via (Chirinda Forest)
It is possible to spend another full day hiking in the Chimanimani, or take a day trip to Zimbabwe's only rain forest on the Mozambique Border. Chirinda is the southernmost rain forest in Africa and home to some spectacular large mahogany trees. A short hike to 'the big tree' is a lovely outing and a fantastic spot for a picnic lunch.
Day 12, Chimanimani National Park to Great Zimbabwe Ruins
Leaving the National Park today we head to the famous iron-age ruins of Great Zimbabwe. There is no mortar and yet some of the walls are up to 5 metres high and still standing after so many centuries.
Day 13, Great Zimbabwe Ruins to Matopos National Park
Moving on to Bulawayo and the Matopos National Park. This afternoon we can explore San Bushman rock paintings and the next morning World's View and the site of Cecil John Rhodes' grave. Hopefully we will also see some Rhino here.
Day 14, Matopos National Park
Today we head off into the Park and track Rhino on foot, game drive, see some bushman paintings and hang out with some local folks in their village.
Day 15, Bulawayo to Musina
The Bulawayo Historical Museum is worth a visit before we head back into South Africa crossing the border at Beitbridge. Be prepared for a long crossing while we complete border formalities, before we arrive at our camp.
Day 16, Musina to Johannesburg
Today we head south towards Johannesburg - the City of Gold - where we spend the night and prepare for our amazing wildlife experience in Kruger National Park.
Day 17, Johannesburg to Kruger National Park
We depart Johannesburg and travel to the Mpumalanga region of South Africa - meaning 'place of the rising sun'. We enter the Kruger region and have the option of trying out a sunset game drive.
Day 18, Kruger National Park
Game Drives and animal spotting take up our day with the odd stop for lunch or a swim if the weather allows.
Day 19, Kruger National Park
We spend another day game driving through the Kruger National Park in search of smaller antelope, wildlife, birds and the Big 5!
Day 20, Kruger National Park to Johannesburg
An opportunity for a early morning game drive before we return to Johannesburg and the end of our tour.

Robo-fish may monitor future oil spills
Propelled by a servo-actuated two-link tails and flapping pectoral fins, a new breed of robofish programmed to swim in schools may soon be used to track oil spills or wildlife such as whales, according to researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle.
By mimicking a fish's natural propulsion mechanics these "autonomous fin-actuated underwater vehicles" are able to swim in any direction, make tight turns, and even go backwards, researchers say. The university is testing three of the vehicles in an indoor freshwater tank equipped with a four-camera tracking system to supplement data collected by onboard sensors.… Read more

New book guides readers to better financial decisions
With the nation's current economic condition, many individuals feel overworked, underpaid and stressed out when it comes to paying bills. Nobody's financial future is absolute, but Charleston author Lynette Greene hopes to help people take the next steps to fiscal security in her new book releasing this month, "I'm Broke and I Couldn't Care Less."
Leading readers to financial stability and peace, Greene illustrates why they don't need to make more money; they need to make better decisions about their money. Through encouraging, Christian guidance, she hopes to expose individuals' belief systems about money and pull them out of the pit of financial despair.
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
Greene is a native of Charleston, has a degree in business administration from Claflin University and started her own accounting firm. She was ordained an elder in 2001 and is the executive pastor at Life Center Cathedral. With wisdom gained from her 19 years in accounting and finance and her experience leading God's children, she wrote this book to free people from the anxiety of poor money management.

php password_hash() function
HeLlo, everyone
I want to know your opinion on using php's password_hash() function,
Like how secure is it? When it comes to rainbow attacks and other forms of attacks
What hash algorithm would you recommend to encypt passwords? Moreso which is beTter? PbkDF2 or Bcrypt.
Thank you
Nov 26, 2013, 11:27 #2
PHP's password_hash functions are almost certainly your best bet. They do everything you're supposed to do, and they do it right, with as simple of an API as you could ever hope for.
Every password by default gets a unique 128-bit salt and 1,024 iterations. Definitely secure against rainbow attacks and other known forms of attack.
Probably PBKDF2 < bcrypt < scrypt
PBKDF2 can use an arbitrary amount of computing power. Bcrypt can also use an arbitrary amount of computing power but also has an expensive memory cost. Scrypt can use an arbitrary amount of computing power and an arbitrary amount of memory. Though, bcrypt is plenty sufficient and available through the convenient password_hash functions, so that's probably still your best bet."First make it work. Then make it better."

"We loved Florence! Loved seeing it all - loved the Art crawl (Untours event), the mercado, the Duomo.. and our guide/contact was the best person possible!!" Ginny and Lee Brown"Florence is just an amazing place to be and I'm thrilled that you added it. Living in a community and having a wonderful apartment with a small lawn was great for our down time...Mary Jane was the best onsite staff that we have experienced." Dawn Molendi
"We both enjoyed the flexibility that Untour provided us. I really appreciated the greeting we received at the airport and the help in getting settled in the apartment. The apartment was excellent and met all of our needs." - Marcia and Nathan Kaminski
"Florence is enchanting. Having an apartment instead of a hotel room was fantastic. Also not doing 11 cities in 11 days was great. We were able to set our own pace and discover the charm of the area on our own. Having a contact person as near as the phone was also great." Brenda & Hank Stroup
