The Suns gave Essendon a fright on Saturday night. Photo: Getty Images
THE EARLY crow. We should be used to it in an environment where an "exclusive" can constitute someone talking publicly for the first time in five minutes, and a "crisis" is one defeat, let alone a string of them. But that doesn't make it any less annoying.
There's something about the opening salvos of an AFL season that has both the pundits and public alike elbowing each other out of the way, desperate to make the definitive and dramatic call. And 2012 has already had more than its share.
Take just this handful. Collingwood? Gone already. Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney? An effective bye and an unfair fixturing advantage to those who play them twice. Scores? Going through the roof, the scoreboards struggling to keep up.

Let's calmly try to argue the case for a little more considered thinking, as unfashionable as that often now appears. And cite some examples, all recent enough to help those with more goldfish-like memories, as evidence of the dangers of the leap to judgment.
Collingwood, first of all. Yes, the Magpies' start to the year has been ordinary, and yes, injuries are taking a toll. But how can anyone say with certainty that the Pies definitely can't win this year's premiership?
Of course Luke Ball is a big loss to the Magpie midfield. But wasn't it about this time two years ago, in his first season with Collingwood when, after an only so-so start to the season, that people were questioning the wisdom of his recruitment?
Aren't there a few reasonable other parts to the midfield machine? Like a Brownlow medallist in Dane Swan? Another considered among the best handful in the competition in Scott Pendlebury?
Does Dale Thomas ring a bell? Or Sharrod Wellingham and Steele Sidebottom? Or a range of players who can pinch-hit in the midfield with at least some impact - Jarryd Blair or Heath Shaw perhaps? The Pies have hardly been left completely bereft.
Ball is the Pies' third season-long casualty. That hurts. But Andrew Krakouer wasn't there when Collingwood won in 2010. And yes, Brent Macaffer would have been a regular in 2012. But he played only four times last year. That's hardly indispensable.
Incidentally, Collingwood plays Port Adelaide, Essendon, Western Bulldogs and Brisbane Lions over the next month. Would anyone claim it's not a serious chance to win all four and head into round eight with a 5-2 scoreline?
It's all more than a little reminiscent of this same round two years ago, when St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt tore his hamstring tendon from the bone. That was supposed to be ''bye-bye Saints''. Indeed, not only could they not win the flag, they'd be lucky to reach the finals.
Remember how that one panned out? Let's just say one errant bounce of a football late in a drawn grand final five months later certainly saved a score of doomsayers an awful amount of embarrassment.
Now to Gold Coast and GWS. The latter is clearly miles off the pace. For now. But the Suns, as poor as their opening two games were, are somewhat closer. So close that on Saturday night they were still a realistic winning chance against Essendon, a finalist of last season, with less than five minutes to play.
Interestingly, GWS's average losing margin in its first three games is 91. That's less than the 93-point average of the Suns' first three losses in their 2011 debut.
And what happened in Gold Coast's fourth game? That's right. That was the afternoon the Suns gave up a seven-goal start to Port Adelaide away from home and mowed it down to win by three points.
That's not to say GWS is going to similarly stun Adelaide next week. But it should at least send a cautionary note. And the Suns' effort against Essendon might remind a few people that there are no byes in the AFL, and that, at the very least, Gold Coast can be competitive and, at its best, clearly a lot more.
Finally, those cricket scores in 2012? Not a narrative that fitted with the slogs that were Saturday's Fremantle-Brisbane Lions game (13 goals in total), the Bulldogs' five goals on Saturday night, or six single-figure goal scorelines in round two. Indeed, round two produced a lower average score than did round two last year. And after three rounds, the average scoreline in 2012 is just six points up on last year.
Of course, the doozy of all early crows came five years ago when Geelong, with a 2-3 win-loss record, was popularly condemned to mediocrity amid renewed calls for the sacking of coach Mark Thompson.
You'd have to agree three premierships, four grand finals, and 104 wins from 123 subsequent games was a pretty effective retort to that suggestion.
As they sang in Where Have All The Flowers Gone; "When will they ever learn?" Not bloody soon enough for my liking.

Jerome Harrison to return kicks?
I think we will see Calvin inactive this week. I read earlier that Hobbs might go back to returning as well since Patterson is starting now at CB. If Calvin isn't returning kicks then he is pretty much useless since Lindley is a better CB.

A bulge right at the crux, however, makes what would ordinarily be a somewhat technical right sidepull to a questionable pocket fairly burly.

United States Circuit Judge Guido Calabresi of New Haven, Conn., was chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Morton A. Brody Distinguished Judicial Service Award, to be presented April 18. Calabresi also will receive an honorary doctor of laws degree and will deliver a public lecture in Given Auditorium.
The Brody Award was established to recognize a federal or state judge who demonstrates the qualities of integrity, compassion, humanity and judicial excellence--in memory of the Honorable Morton Brody, a U.S. District Court judge who passed away in March 2000. Brody, a long-time Waterville resident, taught courses at Colby on the judicial system, was the husband of Associate Dean of Admissions Judith Brody '58 and was long a friend of the College.
Calabresi was born in Italy and in 1939, at age 6, immigrated to the United States with his family to escape fascism. Prior to his appointment in 1994 as U.S. Circuit Court Judge for the Second Circuit, he was dean and Sterling Professor at the Yale Law School, where he continues to serve as a member of the faculty. He earned a B.S. and an LL.B. degree at Yale as well as a B.A.and an M.A. (as a Rhodes Scholar) at Oxford University. He clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in 1958-59 before returning to Yale to teach. He has written four influential books.
The Brody Award selection committee is chaired by Brock Hornby, chief judge of the Federal District Court in Maine, and includes distinguished active and retired judges, lawyers, law professors, representatives of the College and a member of the Brody family.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Pacific Egg and Poultry Association honored two individuals in 2013, presenting the Annual Industry Person of the Year award to Tom Silva and the 2013 Poultry Scientist of the Year award to Dr. Peter Woolcock.
The association noted that Silva and Woolcock are well known throughout the poultry industry for their exemplary service to the egg farmers of California. "They are the epitome of selflessness. Over the years as California has faced serious disease outbreaks . . . two of the state's most potent weapons have been Silva and Woolcock. Their efforts in the realm of poultry health have contributed greatly to the success of our avian disease control program."
Silva currently serves as vice president of operations for J.S. West Milling Co., responsible for poultry operations including food safety, egg quality and animal welfare. He has served on numerous committees and boards for the Pacific Egg and Poultry Association, California Poultry Federation, United Egg Producers, California Department of Food and Agriculture and the California Grain and Feed Association. He has been instrumental in ensuring open lines of communication between all avian species in California.
Silva is credited for the successful installation and operation of the first enriched colony housing system(s) in the U.S. (2010).
Woolcock was a professor of Clinical Diagnostic Virology at the Department of Population Health and Reproduction School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California at Davis and also served as Avian Virology Section Head of the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System at the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis.
Woolcock co-authored 68 publications and 33 book chapters. In June Woolcock retired after 22 years of service to the California egg and poultry industries. He has played key roles in the diagnostics of all avian viral diseases in California, most notably during outbreaks of avian influenza and exotic Newcastle disease. He also contributed to isolation of such viruses as Muscovy duck parvovirus, hepatitis E virus and bunyavirus.

(Kershaw County) December 14, 2006 - Neighbors in the Kershaw County town of Elgin say they're nervous after a teenager was found murdered in his house there.
Roberta Knappenberger is a long way from her roots and family in Pennsylvania. But after 20 years on Ryan Lane near Elgin, she's learned about life in the deep South. And she knows what's going on in her neighborhood.
Knappenberger admits she did not know much about the young man who lived across the gravel road. Only that he moved in sometime over the summer, drove too fast sometimes, and seemed to have a lot of visitors.
"Cars went in and out all the time - a lot of them. All hours, because I sit on my porch quite a bit. I can see a lot."
Wednesday night, someone entered the home and killed the young man, possibly during a break-in. The motive of the killing is still unknown, but police think a baseball bat may have been used in the murder.
His office says Sheriff Steve McCaskill was out following leads and not available to provide specifics on the case. But the Kershaw County Coroner identified the victim as 19-year-old Josh Zoch. An autopsy late Thursday morning lists the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.
Unofficially, News 10 was told Zoch's girlfriend found the body. The sheriff's department could not provide a written report on the incident.
Investigators say the intruder forced open the side door. The house was ransacked, but nothing was missing.
For Knappenberger, Ryan Lane is now a different place.
"I don't like the thought of something like this happening here because it scares me. I keep my doors locked," said Knappenberger.
No suspects are known to be in custody.

eDrive & Efficient Dynamics
BMW i stands for innovation — resulting in visionary vehicles and mobility services that carry with them an emphasis on futuristic and modern design. BMW i also equates to a new understanding of 'premium' that's strongly defined by sustainability. As such, BMW i is the holistic approach to the mobility of tomorrow, which makes it a truly unique force in the automotive industry.
BMW has over 40 years of extensive research which started in 1972 with two converted BMW 1602 models, followed by electric test vehicles in 1975 and 1980. Then came the first purpose-built solution — the BMW E1 — that was unveiled at the 1991 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Between 1992 and 1996, eight BMW 325 models were in service on the island of Rügen, off Germany's Baltic coast, to test various motors, transmissions and batteries under everyday conditions. The field trial produced extensive quantities of detailed data, which provided valuable insights for the further development of electric mobility. However, the project came to a conclusion with that era's final
BMW EV in 1997.
In 2008, a fleet of approximately 600 all-electric MINI E models, designed for private, everyday use, reenergized the initiative on-road. The findings gathered by the BMW Group from this pilot project were channeled straight into the development process for a production car. The potential of lithium-ion batteries, in particular, was taken to new heights with the MINI E, and just one year later, the world premiere of the BMW Concept ActiveE launched worldwide trials of over 1,000 units. By 2011 it was fully underway. Following the MINI E and BMW ActiveE Field Trials, BMW made its official shift into the realm of EVs with the release of the first-ever, all-electric BMW i3 and plug-in hybrid BMW i8.
Now, with sustainability at the very forefront, BMW i aims to take driving to an entirely new dimension, where tailpipe emission-free vehicles are a standard way of life. Welcome to a brand new world that's defined by the use of renewable resources and innovative means of production. Welcome to the
future of mobility.
BMW i charging stations are designed for easy use: plug in and charging starts, there's nothing more to do.

Norwich University will pay the federal government nearly $1.3 million to settle a fraud complaint.
The Northfield military school was charged with violating the False Claims Act in connection with student financial aid applications.
Federal prosecutors say a former employee of the school had instructed students to assert that they were independent of their parents, even when they were not. That greatly increased the amounts of student aid available to those students.

An intimate, bohemian hangout par excellence, this is a great place to rub shoulders with Tegus's creative types. The decor (including an excess of curios and lots of paintings) and layout (multiple rooms set off a central covered patio) are unusual.

(LEXINGTON, Ky.) -- A veteran of the Iraq war claims he was forced out of his job at a Lexington Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Forty-one-year-old Norman Perciful of Berea says he was given a choice of resigning or being fired after taking too much time off work to see V-A doctors for treatment of medical problems.
Perciful says the medical appointments were scheduled during his work hours, which meant that he had to take leave for each appointment.
He says his leave requests always were approved, but that changed February 20th, when his supervisor told him he was taking too much time off and told gave him two choices. Perciful says he chose to resign rather than have a dismissal on his record.
VA officials declined to make detailed comments, citing medical and personnel privacy regulations.
But Lexington V-A spokeswoman Desti Stimes says the VA wouldn't encourage anyone to resign because of medical appointments.
Perciful has filed a discrimination complaint with the VA's Office of Resolution Management, hoping to get monetary compensation for his job loss, but it could take months to resolve the case.

Thursday, April 20, 2006
Requires Adobe Flash
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Tennis Committee has released the NCAA Division II men's tennis ranking today. Florida Gulf Coast University is ranked third in this week's Southeast Region ranking. The Eagles finished the regular season with a 16-5 record, winning six of their last eight matches. In the final eight matches, FGCU faced seven teams that are currently ranked among the top-20 teams nationally in Division II play. The top 10 teams in each of eight NCAA Division II regions are included in each regional ranking. Championship selections for the 64-team national championship tournament will take place Wednesday, April 26. The regional tournaments are scheduled for May 4-6 at campus sites to be determined. In each region, the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams will host four teams each in a sub-regional. The Southeast Region has six of the top-18 ranked teams in Division II. Barry is first in the region while Lynn is second. The rest of the top eight ranked teams are Rollins, Eckerd, Florida Southern, Presbyterian and Carson-Newman. FGCU, which became a full-fledged member of the NCAA in 2004-05, is looking for its second consecutive NCAA tournament bid.

Law Firms
Quinn Emanuel Takes Casual Dress to the Flip-Flops Level
Posted Jun 23, 2011 6:41 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Business casual outfits of tailored slacks or pressed khakis are too dressy for some lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan.
The Careerist interviewed founding partner William Urquhart about the firm's dress code after meeting an associate dressed in shorts and flip-flops. Urquhart told the blog that practically anything goes. T-shirts and jeans are particularly popular, he said, including jeans with "raggedy edges" worn by men despite their wives' disapproval.
"We take casual dress to a whole new level," Urquhart said. "The only dress code we have is that you have to have something between your feet and the carpet—and that's because our insurance company requires it."
The firm believes casual dress encourages creativity and helps eliminate the "trappings of power" that can intimidate associates, Urquhart said.

More Soldiers, Bigger Hospital
Workers are one year into constructing an Army hospital to replace an aging facility that was never intended to handle as many patients as it does today.
The Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, slated for a 2015 opening at Fort Hood in Texas, is both the largest Pentagon contract funded by the Recovery Act – $530 million – and the largest medical facility project in the military.
The original Darnall hospital opened in 1965 to serve 17,000 soldiers; an addition in 1984 expanded capacity to 39,000 troops. Today, the hospital serves roughly 45,000 soldiers as well as nearly 125,000 family members and retirees within a 40-mile radius.
The new medical center will be nearly 60 percent larger than the current facility and will include a six-story hospital, three out-patient clinic buildings, and three parking garages.
Balfour Beatty/McCarthy, based in Dallas, designed and is building the medical center.
Helping Warriors Come Home
The last phase of a $32 million Recovery-funded housing facility for wounded soldiers and their families was recently completed at the U.S. Army's Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The new Warriors in Transition Barracks (WTB) includes 206 beds in apartment-like modules with bathrooms and kitchenettes.
WTBs are housing complexes designed to help recuperating service men and women who no longer require hospital care but still need a healing environment. Their families are also able to live with them.
Clark Caddell JV of Tampa, Florida, received $25 million in Recovery funds for constructing the Fort Campbell barracks. Nationview, LLC, a small business in Birmingham, Alabama, received $7 million for constructing the administration and operations facilities.
Another WTB built with Recovery funds was opened in June at Fort Bliss, Texas.

"He's digging his own grave with a very large spade."
– Kevin Egan, an extradition attorney, on the revelation that Edward Snowden divulged NSA hacking activity inside China.
"He's digging his own grave with a very large spade."
– Kevin Egan, an extradition attorney, on the revelation that Edward Snowden divulged NSA hacking activity inside China.
Last week the Guardian broke the news about Prism, an NSA data mining project in which the security agency harvests transaction records with the cooperation of private telecoms and internet companies. While it's illegal to eavesdrop without a warrant, the NSA is harvesting conversational meta-data: calling records, email transactions and credit card swipes. This is basically the stuff you'd find in server logs.
The news was greeted with simultaneous outrage and indifference. Some were tremendously bothered by the news while others shrugged and said "meh." Your Joe Dog's congressman emailed to say he was greatly bothered by the news. Really? Then why didn't you email constituents after any one of the thirteen briefings you had on the subject?
Five years ago, the NSA was probably incapable of doing much with all the data it collected. Just managing its information would have been a full time job. Since it began its surveillance programs, the NSA has brought up a series of large data centers to warehouse its records. The biggest, its Death Star, was constructed at Camp Williams, Utah.
The agency also improved its ability to effectively use this information. As the New York Times reports, NSA is working with Silicon Valley big data experts to efficiently sift through its transaction records. Its algorithms search for patterns and alert human agents when they match the hallmarks of terrorist activity.
And this is where it gets eerie.
From a study published in Nature, we learn that just four points of phone data are necessary to pinpoint the caller's location with 95% accuracy. The average person leaves many breadcrumbs that reveal his whereabouts: cell phone data, EZ-Pass transactions, credit card purchases, ATM transactions, etc. Using information from cell towers, the agency can pinpoint your altitude right to the floor you're sitting on at this moment. (I'll save you some trouble: I'm currently on the third).
If you'd prefer to keep your location a secret, then, yes, this program is a concern. Unfortunately, it appears to be perfectly legal. You can have modern conveniences like cell phones, EZ-Pass, credit and debit cards or privacy. Pick one.
An emailer wondered if siege could be configured to refuse cookies. I had a vague recollection on the matter. My brain cells were all, "Yeah, sure, you can disable cookies."
The best place to look for more esoteric features is inside $HOME/.siegerc If you don't have one, you can generate a new one with this command: siege.config That command will place a new one inside your home directory. 'siege.config' is designed to build a resource file which is compatible with your version of the program.
I checked the latest version of that file and I found nothing to disable cookies. Really? That seems like a no-brainer. Why wouldn't we allow users to disable that? "Sorry," I replied. "Siege can't disable cookies."
Yet my own response was bothersome. I was certain you could turn that off so I checked the code with 'egrep cooki *.c' Sure enough, siege parses siegerc for 'cookie' which accepts true or false. The latter disables cookie support.
Documentation for this feature has been added to siege-3.0.1-beta4. The feature itself is available in just about every contemporary version of siege that's floating around the Internets. Just add 'cookies = false' to your siegerc file to disable their support.
The New York Times reports that a large percentage of Chinese cyber attacks on American targets originate from inside a same small neighborhood that features a Chinese army headquarters building. The headquarters, a large white office tower in Shanghai, is surrounded by restaurants, massage parlors and a wine importer. It is the only structure in the neighborhood capable of housing a large number of sophisticated cyber attackers. This all but confirms the Chinese army is behind the American attacks.
The hackers, known in the US as the Comment Crew, were traced to Shanghai by Mandiant, a US security firm hired by the NY Times. The New York paper hired Mandiant to end infiltration of its network last year. The Virginia firm traced that attack and hundreds like it to the Shanghai neighborhood that houses the base, known as P.L.A. Unit 61398.
The firm were not able to confirm the attacks originated inside the building but the probability is very high.
"Either they are coming from inside Unit 61398," said Kevin Mandia, the founder and chief executive of Mandiant, in an interview last week, "or the people who run the most-controlled, most-monitored Internet networks in the world are clueless about thousands of people generating attacks from this one neighborhood."
Sure, it's possible that an enterprise scale hacking effort led by mainland Chinese with direct access to Shanghai telecom infrastructure has setup shop inside one of the restaurants by Unit 61398. Now that they've been exposed we'll just wait for the Chinese government to shut them down. That should happen any minute now. Yep … any … minute … now. Who are we kidding? The Chinese are attacking us!!
nixCraft selected siege as the Number One Greatest Open Source Terminal Application of 2012. We're not sure what that means other than AWESOME! It's been a long road to 2012 greatness. The project began in late 1999 and was released into the wild in early 2000. Since then, it has been developed shaped by countless people from all corners of the globe.
Even though siege is a very esoteric program, its source code is downloaded around 50,000 times a year. Binaries are distributed by most major Linux vendors. One day a co-worker wanted to run a test from a new server so he asked if I could get him some binaries. Before I could react to the request, he said, "Nevermind." He ran 'apt-get install siege' and got it from the vendor. That was a pretty cool moment for reasons other than the fact that it saved me some work.
Let's be clear. This isn't my recognition. It's our recognition. For twelve years siege has been a community project and its direction will continue to be shaped by the people who use it. "Now let's eat a god damn snack." — Rex Ryan to the siege community.
As residents in the Information Age, we consider ourselves clever sorts. We no longer waste hours on bar stools arguing about the year of Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. Before someone rebuts with his second "nuh-uh" we've smart-phoned the answer: 1941
But are we right?
I just got the answer by Googling. Like most people, I clicked the first link of the search results. In many cases, that link goes to Wikipedia and this was no exception. The free encylopedia is an excellent source of information but like all sources, it's prone to error. So unless our bar bet is substantial, we probably won't cross reference the findings. "I guess the next round is on me…"
That was certainly the case when a Swedish firm broke the news about Apple's new iPhone screws. They were designed specifically to prevent its owner from opening the phone. Given Apple's penchant for limiting access to the owners of its products, the story struck a nerve. It was picked up by MacWorld, Wired and Yahoo and spread across the Internets.
There was just one problem: the story wasn't true. Oh, it was truthy. It struck most readers as the type of thing Apple would do but it was a hoax all the same.
The locking screws were fabricated by a Swedish company named Day4. Their intent was to see how easiliy they could spread disinformation. They designed a peculiar screw and posted it to Reddit along with the following message: "A friend took a photo a while ago at that fruit company, they are obviously even creating their own screws."
That's it. Neither Apple nor its phone were mentioned in the message. But Day4′s timing was excellent. iPhone 5 is expected to be announced in September and tech media outlets are jonsing for information. If those outlets would have cross-referenced their information, they would have discovered it was all from a single source. That should have raised red flags. Would those flags have halted publication? I don't know. Everyone wants to be first with a scoop.
In the Information Age, it is too frequently consumers – not distributors – who must perform integrity checks. When a politician stone-cold misrepresents information, the media rarely corrects his inaccuracies. Instead it notes that the other side disagrees. Instead of a debate in which we've established the facts, we tend to argue with two separate sets of "facts."
On this site, I'm not driven to publish scoops. The Day4 prank is already several days old. All the code and configurations you'll find here were tested before publication. My facts are generally double-checked. And with regard to the event that accompanies this story, you can confidently assert that Joe DiMaggio batted safely in 56 straight games back in 1941. That information is confirmed by multiple sources….
Matt Honan is an author at Wired. Recently his Google account was comprimised. And since his online life was chained together, the hackers were soon able to access his Twitter, Amazon, AppleID, iPhone, iPad and MacBook accounts. For lulz, they erased his digital life.
By his own admission, Honan was sloppy. His accounts were interconnected and his data was not backed up. His biggest regret was that he didn't take the time to implement a defense mechanism provided by Google. He didn't set up 2-step verification. In the article, Honan refers to it as "two-factor authentication."
What's two-step verification? This is a system provided by Google which adds an extra level of security to your account. After it's set up, you'll need two things for access. You'll need to provide something you remember (your password) with something you have (a code on your phone).
Learn how to set up 2-step verification after the jump.
Intel has released a new version of the open source Intel graphics package, that can be used on Linux systems. This is good news for users of the software, who will be able to access the updated version, known as 12.07. With the package, users will get new X Server drivers for Intel cards, along with other features that work with these specific drivers.
Version 2.20.0 is the most significant component of this new release, available with the xf86-video-intel driver for the X Server. Those who regularly use this type of technology, or any for that matter, spending time on their computers playing poker.de or communicating to their friends via e-mail, will be glad to hear this news. The feature comes with SNA, which is a 2D acceleration method that can be selected at runtime. It's purpose is to use less CPU than the previous method, UXA, and to be faster. To take advantage of this, the user must specify Option "AccelMethod" "sna" in the Xorg.conf file. It also features modern Intel graphics cards, which the new SNA architecture is designed to make the most of.
This new release from Intel is pre-tested, and therefore geared towards developers who look for this feature rather than Linux end users. It comes with other features that have also been tested, along with the main ones that will be the biggest draw. The other features include the stable 3.4.x version of the Linux kernel. This was made available to users in May and its default setting is to use the RC6 power saving mode. Those who want to get their hands on this new package can download it from Intel's Linux driver web site and begin enjoying the benefits. Its source code is licensed under MIT and GPLv2 licences.
In April Microsoft made news when it became a top-twenty contributor to the Linux kernel. The Redmond giant contributed over 20,000 lines of code in support of Hyper-V. This was a striking turn around. Remember, Microsoft's CEO once described Linux as a "cancer."
Although it contributed over twenty thousand lines of code, the Internets are now abuzz over a single line of code in hv/hv.h line 45:
#define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI 0xB16B00B5
A Microsoft programmer assigned 0xB16B00B5 to HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI. That's a hexadecimal number whose value is 2,976,579,765. But that's not what has the Internets all worked up. Look again. 0xB16B00B5 is 1337-speak for BIG BOOBS.
Do you have scripts that do remote procedures over ssh? Do host key checks occasionally cause them to break? This entry will show you how to avoid that mess and keep your scripts running smoothly.
ssh protocol is designed to verify the host key against a local file to ensure the integrity of the remote server. By default, the user is prompted to accept a new key or warned when the host key changes (like after a server upgrade). This is a nice defense against man-in-the-middle attacks, but it plays havoc on scripts. If a prompt occurs, your script stops and waits for input.
There are two ways you can avoid this problem. You can pass parameters to ssh or you can change the system setting in ssh_config. If you want to turn off host key checks for scripting continuity, then we recommend using command line parameters. You only type them once when you write your script and they only affect that instance of ssh.
By default, StrictHostKeyChecking is set to 'ask.' That's why you're prompted to accept a key. In order to avoid the prompt, you can change that to 'no.' When it's set to 'no' the key is stored with no questions asked.
Unfortunatley, that's not as clean as it seems. If the host signature changes due to an upgrade, then ssh stores that key, too. Since you have two, it starts throwing warnings such as this:
key_read: uudecode AAAAAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAzh1G5NiiEfawhBhly VLR92Q/+iXZ3Bs56RBLZtso/lEFk9TYZuS+Qp+tKOIv1j5HpuwsoIAZt6A1fJfCHfN3 KYtuWNbdMywuoOUb5Z9S0c/3jyeesy2eTy+ZZjgb0uPdU8cCKg029NF9gQr5tbDlrj+ vW6QvvWJ0KVJFJPWg6u3/Qt/N/xlPXziyHv4HKuzMDoRLQ5ltiC8zk3ZefeRK7ZZKtp qSneTsHZt7alOGOsKTrPL5PA50QwBiNJFbvrnmJs2Xjk3x6MunXFuRSZCEsGboQWDie whcOFxDlkYfWjHNbShPYBY3xuq/MnsL8QHUx9AT75wpl2U0/KFbXsMAKw== failed key_read: uudecode AAAAAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAzh1G5NiiEfawhBhly VLR92Q/+iXZ3Bs56RBLZtso/lEFk9TYZuS+Qp+tKOIv1j5HpuwsoIAZt6A1fJfCHfN3 KYtuWNbdMywuoOUb5Z9S0c/3jyeesy2eTy+ZZjgb0uPdU8cCKg029NF9gQr5tbDlrj+ vW6QvvWJ0KVJFJPWg6u3/Qt/N/xlPXziyHv4HKuzMDoRLQ5ltiC8zk3ZefeRK7ZZKtp qSneTsHZt7alOGOsKTrPL5PA50QwBiNJFbvrnmJs2Xjk3x6MunXFuRSZCEsGboQWDie whcOFxDlkYfWjHNbShPYBY3xuq/MnsL8QHUx9AT75wpl2U0/KFbXsMAKw== failed Last login: Fri Jul 13 11:09:36 2012 from jdfulmer-lt.joedog.org RedHat 5Server - LinuxCOE 4.2 Fri May 11 09:48:33 EDT 2012
We can avoid this mess with another setting. Instead of saving host key entries to known_hosts, we can bury them in /dev/null. We can change the file location with the UserKnownHostsFile parameter. If we change it to /dev/null there are no entries for ssh to read. And when it writes a new entry, well it goes to /dev/null
There are two ways we can implement this. One is at the script level and the other is at the system level. If we want to continue to prompt for host key checks, then we can add the configuration to our script. This can be done with OpenSSH's -o option. Here's an example in which we run the hostname command on a remote server:
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no \ -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null \ user@host /usr/bin/hostname -s
To set this configuration system-wide, place these entries in ssh_config:
StrictHostKeyChecking no UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null LogLevel QUIET
NOTE: This configuration applies only to OUTBOUND ssh connections. This does not affect your system's inbound ssh traffic.
UPDATE: I added LogLevel QUIET to the ssh_config above. This is the same as running ssh with a "-q". This suppresses all warning messages which may wreak havoc on your scripts.

The Bruins look to return to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1990 as they face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning in game six tonight, holding a three games to two series lead.
Bruins will show finishing touch - Joe McDonald is confident that the Bruins will be able to close out the series tonight. Fluto Shinzawa thinks that a fast start will be the key for the Bruins. Stephen Harris says that the Bruins cannot afford to think ahead just yet.
Bruins know clincher is always the toughest one - Ian Clark says that the Bruins know that they will have a fight on their hands tonight. Rich Garven says that the Bruins will need to play with more passion tonight. Mick Colageo examines the Bruins ability to handle pressure thus far in the postseason.
Sixty minutes from the Stanley Cup Finals - Joe Haggerty says that the Bruins have proved themselves time and time again. James Murphy has six keys to a win tonight for Boston.
What is Guy Boucher doing? - DJ Bean says that no one in the playoffs has been more captivating, mystifying, and puzzling all at once.
Bolts go back to Dwayne Roloson - The Herald notebook has Boucher going back to his veteran goalie for game six.

Though the Knicks will bring 19 players into training camp next week, only 13 players will hit the hardwood with guaranteed contracts. This means two roster spots will be up grabs, be it amongst the camp invitees or even outside players looking in.
Though they've worked out a few various young guns at the training facility in the recent weeks, the team also hosted veteran and former Knickerbocker Tracy McGrady in Westchester this month.
And according to ESPN's Ric Bucher, the Knicks most recently welcomed yet another notable NBA veteran to their facility.
Retired big man Rasheed Wallace has been working out in Westchester with fellow veterans Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas.
Though Bucher says New York is apparently "considering" signing Wallace, this should by no means come as a surprise to Knicks fans at all. The team has already surrounded their core with older veterans like Camby, Thomas, and Jason Kidd. What's more, they have also long-coveted veteran forward Kenyon Marin to backup Amar'e Stoudemire. Martin has since been hesitant, however, to sign a contract worth the veteran's minimum.
Wallace seems to fit right in with the team's current personnel, and his position fills what the team apparently considers to be a void at the backup power forward position. But is Wallace himself (and the personality he brings along with him) the best possible fit? Depending on what kind of shape he's in, perhaps he would be a decent backup plan to Martin.
Knicks head coach Mike Woodson was an assistant coach on the Pistons during the 2003-04 season, when Wallace joined Detroit midseason.

The goal is to use these materials as synthetic bone implants. Materials currently used, like metals, are subject to fatigue and wear. They have a limited lifetime and can cause immunogenic responses. These new materials would degrade in your body and be replaced by natural bone. They act as scaffolds during the healing process to provide the strength necessary, while promoting natural healing. Eventually, the materials are either assimilated into the body or passed from it and natural bone is left in its place.

What a splendid fellow Prince William is! Tall, upstanding and brave, he has a
delightful wife and his wife's sister has a bottom like a Cox's Orange Pippin.
He even rescued some Russian sailors in his helicopter the other day. The only
drawback is that it has to be admitted that he does look remarkably like a horse
– I am told that, when the winch failed in that rescue, he let down his silky
tail and lifted the last man to safety himself.
So much does he resemble a horse that I have no alternative but to conclude that
the story – widely circulated in my young day – that Queen Mary was rogered by a
past winner of the 2,000 Guineas after a particularly jolly party at Newmarket
is true after all.
To Avonmouth Docks to wave off the Jeremy Browne. What with the current economic
problems on the mainland of Europe, it has become clear that our relations with
China will become increasingly important. To that end, I have arranged for a
Jeremy Browne to be presented to Peking Zoo so that the Chinese may enjoy
viewing this delightful denizen of our English countryside.
Later I call in at a village hostelry and fall into conversation with a fellow
whose family has been farming Jeremy Brownes on the Mendips for generations. He
is not sanguine about my plans, informing me that Jeremy Brownes are very choosy
about their diet and usually unwilling to mate in public.
Who should I meet in Westminster but my old friend Mike Hancock? I ask him to
pass on my congratulations to the delightful Katia Zatuliveter for her victory
at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission. I have never had much time for
our Intelligence people: every one of them I knew in the 1930s turned out to be
working for the Russians, and I don't suppose things have changed very much
since. Besides, as I remarked to my personal secretary and masseuse Eva Vestoff
only this morning, if every attractive young woman with an interest in British
politics were sent home, then the business of government would soon grind to a
halt. They are known, I believe, as 'interns'.
Eva, incidentally, used to live in Italy, joined its (at least until recently)
governing Bunga Bunga Party and served briefly in the Cabinet there.
You do hear a great deal about my old friend John Maynard Keynes these days,
don't you? This warms my heart, because he was the soundest of men: an Apostle,
President of Cambridge University Liberal Club, adviser to Lloyd George in the
Great War and founder of the Arts Council. I never could quite get my mind
around his economic ideas, but when you hear people say that we should borrow
lots of money and, if we have trouble paying it back, borrow even more, while
citing the great man in support of their views, I cannot help feeling there was
More To It than that.
Keynes, incidentally, was author of the pamphlet "Can Lloyd George Do It?" The
consensus amongst reviewers was that he could – and did so frequently.
I was sad see to those Pakistani fellows jailed for bowling no balls. If such
strictures had been applied in the 1970s, then our own Bob Willis would be
breaking rocks on Portland Bill to this day. I was myself attached to the
Special Investigations Branch of the MCC for a number of years, and it was
heartbreaking work. More than one county scorer cut his throat on a dark
winter's afternoon, as the pilot flame in his Ascot water heater guttered, over
discrepancies in the leg byes account.
Later, you may recall, I chaired the committee of inquiry into allegations over
irregularities in the betting on local authority by-elections in the 1950 and
1960s. Few think of it today, but it was the most tremendous scandal in its day
and many of the aspects of local elections we now take for granted - the ban on
having the polling station in the home of one of the candidates, the
discouragement of firearms at the verification of papers, the oath of celibacy
for agents - have their roots in The Bonkers Report.
As an enthusiast for the Noble Art, I was naturally distraught at the death of
Smokin' Joe Frazier. How well I remember his trilogy of battles with the great
Muhammad Ali! The greatest of these, of course, was the 'Thriller in Manila',
and it was about then that I turned my mind to the revival of heavyweight boxing
here in Rutland. With the benefit of hindsight, perhaps my ideas smacked too
much of the circus, but audiences had dwindled to an alarming extent. So it was
that I first staged the Heavyweight Championship of Rutland in a large brown
envelope, promoting it as the 'Thriller in Manila'. This was followed by a
return bout in an enormous ice cream bowl – the 'Thriller in Vanilla'.
There has been a lot of nonsense written in recent weeks about 'fracking' – that
is, drilling into hard shale rocks and then setting off small explosions to
crack them and release the gas inside – which I have been practising here in
Rutland. One local newspaper (not my own High Leicestershire Radical, I
hasten to add) printed its report under the headline "IT'S FRACKING HELL SAY
VILLAGERS"; I thought that was in particularly poor taste. Let me make it clear:
Rutland has always been subject to earthquakes, as anyone who has studied its
history will know. To connect them with my fracking is simply...
I am sorry, Meadowcroft came in just then, complaining that he had narrowly
missed being hit on the head by a stone that had fallen from the battlements as
he was digging in the kitchen garden. I pointed out that there is bound to be
some settlement in old houses like mine and suggested that he got on with his
work. He left mumbling something about Trotsky.
There has been, as I was pointing out, a lot of nonsense talked in recent weeks.
In particular, the Revd Hughes's refusal to mount the pulpit of St Asquith's
until he had been given a hard hat seemed to be particularly unfortunate. And
did he have to take as his text Zechariah, xi, 2 "Howl, fir tree, for the mighty
cedar is fallen"? It set a bad example to the choirboys...
I say, could anyone dig a chap out of all this rubble?

The business plan and plan presentations are key assessment tools used by engineering and science students to let them know if their new business idea has wings before taking the entrepreneurial leap. Every engineering and science student entrepreneur should have a business plan to communicate the vision and mission of the new venture and to guide her operations and ensure its vitality
and growth. This active learning workshop, developed by faculty at Sierra Nevada College and executed in spring 2005 by the Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, provides a model for constructing a one-page business plan to answer the key questions presented by the SBIR/STTR grant funders, office of technology transfer and management, SBA lenders and loan officers, banks, business angels, and private lenders.

Fine wines have unique chemical "fingerprints" that could authenticate their origin and quality, scientists have found.
Recent research reveals that 59% of French wines analysed contained significant quantities of a particular form of phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and only 17% did not contain any detectable quantity of at least one of the reprotoxic phthalates.

Il s'agit des vins français parce que l'étude était faite en France, avec les vins locaux. Je me demande si la même conclusion s'imposera avec un échantillon de vins d'autres pays? ll y a de forte chance que cela vaut pour tous les vins, mais l'article ne le dit pas et laisse planer qu'il s'agit d'une particularité du vin français.

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and CFO David Wells put a big emphasis on the company's upcoming launch of its scripted original series House of Cards in their Q4 results letter to investors (PDF) Wednesday, writing: "We believe that February 1st will be a defining moment in the development of Internet TV."
Netflix is set to launch the show, which will star Kevin Spacey, in its entirety to all of its subscribers in any of its 40 markets on that day. The exec duo argued in the letter that this model will not only "delight international members," who are used to long release windows from other TV properties, but eventually also prove to change the face of television. "We believe original series developed for Internet TV will be better for creators, better for consumers, and better for Netflix," the letter states.
That bold outlook comes at a day when Netflix beat market expectations by ending 2012 in black as well as with more than 33 million worldwide subscribers.

The treatments are offered by Board Certified stem cell doctors at the clinic in outpatient, low risk procedures that are often covered by insurance. Call (888) 828-4575 for more information and scheduling.
Over the past few years, increasing studies are showing the benefits of regenerative medicine treatments for knee arthritis. This includes a study out of the Hospital for Special Surgery last year showing effectiveness of platelet rich plasma therapy for knee arthritis. Treatment options at TeleHealth include both platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP therapy) along with bone marrow derived stem cell injection therapy or fat derived stem cell therapy.
Often, the treatments are combined to produce maximum knee arthritis benefit and allow patients to avoid surgery, reduce pain and dramatically increase functional ability. While knee replacement surgery has been shown to have a high success rate, the components are not meant to last forever and there can be complications with the surgery.
Therefore, it makes sense to try conservative treatment prior such as with the regenerative medicine options at TeleHealth. Especially considering the stem cell treatments are often covered by insurance.
TeleHealth's main stem cell clinic is located in Orange, CA, convenient to major freeways and not far from San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Inland Empire. The highly skilled stem cell doctors at the clinic are Board Certified and have years of experience treating musculoskeletal conditions with stem cell treatments including shoulder arthritis, rotator cuff tendonitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, muscle tears and much more.
