I have a Panama Yellow Head and she is wonderful. I brought her back with me from there after I had to return to the U.S. I have been looking for a male for many years. If someone has a male that they can no longer take care of, I am would be willing to adopt him and bring him home.

I am shocked at what people are feeding their parrots. Junk food and meat that I wouldn't feed my child or myself. My Amazon eats only organic. For breakfast he eats banana, apple, and most any other fruit I have. Oranges are not the best but every now and then he gets a bit for a treat. Romaine lettuce, carrots, peas and most veges at different times for supper. He of course always has organic pellets in front of him. He has never had a weight problem nor will he. He's beautiful and healthy. I would never sell any bird to anyone that fed a bird the way I read here. It's a crime. Just because a bird will eat anything doesn't mean it should. Please people do your research before continuing slowly killing your pet.

I have a Panamanian Yellow Head named Nicky. We have had her 22 years. Loves women's voices and singing. She eats everything, coffee, tea (both preferred hot), especially fatty foods like butter, bacon, sausage, chicken bones, beef fat. Basically anything I eat, that is what she wants. Of course seeds, fruits and veggies. She is from Panama and has several spanish phrases, laughs, crys if someone is crying. Has been a wonderful part of our family. Has anyone else heard of a Panamanian being such a carnivore?

Just found this page, wow! I have been "owned" by my parrot for about 33 years. I got her at a garage sale, yeah, funny huh? I think she? was about 5 at the time. Her/ his, do not know, and was told it is a her, so that is what I go with! Anyway, her name is Isis. She has attacked all my friends and two women never gave me a second date... because of her. All in all though she is a wonderful pet and we get along fine. She eats about everything I eat, though I do not give her meat very often. She loves to chew cardboard boxes to shreds, and she ruined a very expensive book, it was worth more than her! I imagine that she will outlive me, and she will go to my ex?, and if not I will post here to see if maybe someone can take her. She is like my child and I do love her, she knows it and seems to take advantage of it. I used to take her for walks on a leash but got out of the habit but, still trying to get her to let me put the leash on her again. She fights me until I give up. She got stolen once but managed to get away, we found her 3 days later in a tree in the neighbors yard. We all were very happy, and she was ravenously hungry! She loves the car, and has traveled to most of the states with me. What a pet. Wish I could post a pic here.

We have a Panama Amazon called Charlie, who we have had for 6 years, since he was a baby. He has a great personality, with the exception that he is extremely greedy!
We took him to the vets for a check up in January the first since we first bought him, only to find out that he was not only overweight but obese, in fact the fattest parrot she had seen in 12 months. He weighed 795 gms.
He was on Harrison pellets, and fresh fruit and veg diet, in far to big quantities, and he also had nuts, crisps, toast and any other snacks which we ate.
We immediately cut out all the snacks and started to reduce the amount of pellets he was eating. Six months on he had lost 100gms. We took him back to the vet who was pleased with his progress, but said he needed to lose another 100gms.
We now have cut his pellets down to 21gms (from an unlimited amount), and with the exception of a monkey nut after his daily weigh in each day gets no "junk" food at all.
He is a lot more active than he used to be, however he does not seem to be losing any more weight, and when we feed him in the morning and evening, he stays in until he has eaten all his pellets, and them moves on to his fruit and veg at such a speed you would think we were starving him.
Has anyone else got a "greedy" Amazon, and if so how have you controlled their aggressive eating, and what weight is your Amazon?

I have a Panama named Gilbert, who turned out to be a female. It seems to be hard to get info on Panamas. We got her second hand 7 years ago and think she is possibly 22 years old. We adore her, she is such an easy bird to get along with, she will be a part of the family forever.
Marie Fern - 2011-01-14
A relative of mine is asking me to adopt a yellow fronted amazon he figures is around 10 years old..he doesn't know if it's a male or a female...the bird gets along with him and him alone...has not bonded with other members of his family....I do not know if it is because they haven't tried or if it's because the parrot hasn't allowed it.....I have a sun conure who flies freely in a sun room...has its own cage but the cage is open and can go to a rope gym and fly around...could this amazon be aggressive towards the conure? Are amazons difficult to accept another (strange) person? Are the yellow fronted more difficult than others or vice versa? I have never had an amazon parrot.
Thanks for your feedback.

Captain is my old trusted friend and we have been together now for a little more than 40 years. He was purchased by my mom for me when I was seven from another woman who had him for about 5 years. Our best guess is that he was either wild caught or imported back in the early 60's as he never banded. Captain was never a good talker, but can whistle very well... He eats just about any table foods, but loves peanut butter, corn, peas, chicken, spagetti with sauce, along with his sunflower seed mix. I could never get him to eat pellets, so we supplement with table foods and fruits. We do not know his age, but know that he can't be any less than 47 years old. We figure around 50... He has been a great companion for all these years. He is primarily a one person bird and does have a big attitude for a parrot of his size.

Hi, I have a 16 year old panama named Skeeter that I adopted, just shy of 1 year ago. Bonding with her took some time but was well worth it and we still have a ways to go. Right now, however, we have a little glitch that I am not sure how to handle. Every time I pet her, or go to take her out of her cage she starts panting and making little humming noises with her tail in the air, which is obvious to me that she is in a nesting mood. I am "guessing" I have been chosen as her "mater"? A friend of mine with macaws told me to give her some time and not encourage it so not give her scritches, how long will this go on and is this the best way to handle it, I feel awful only "talking and singing" to her, it's been a good 3 weeks at this point. She has no paper to shred, and I've shortened day time for her to try to stop the behavior as well.

World Extreme Cagefighting's (WEC) March 6 card is coming close to completion, as Bryan Caraway and Fredson Paixio will meet on the preliminary card of WEC 47 in Columbus, Ohio, according to MMAWeekly.com.
Caraway is coming off a submission loss in his WEC debut against Mark Hominick at WEC 46: "Varner vs. Henderson". The loss snapped a three fight win-streak which included two first round stoppages and a unanimous decision victory.
Paixao's short stint in the WEC has left him without much to be happy about. After dropping a unanimous decision to jiu-jitsu ace Wagnney Fabiano at WEC 40, Paixao lost via split-decision to Cole Province, but the result was turned into a No Contest after Province tested positive for a banned substance.
However, regardless of the change to No Contest, Paixao is still seeking his first win with the promotion, as he has failed to achieve victory twice. The submission ace will certainly be looking at this fight as an opportunity to take a big step forward, while gaining some job security with the promotion.
WEC 47 is set for Columbus, Ohio on March 6. The card is headlined by a bantamweight championship bout between champion Brian Bowles and challenger Dominick Cruz. The card also features the return of two of mixed martial arts' all time greats, as Miguel Torres and Jens Pulver look to get back to their winning ways.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for breaking news and updates surrounding the WEC's March card.

Fallout 4 - The Wishlist
In the last week, we received a pretty massive tease from Fallout 3 voice actor Erik Todd Dellums, that he's been recording new lines for Fallout 3 character Three Dog - which if the rules of the internet are anything to go by, can mean only one thing - we may soon be seeing a Fallout 4!!!
We don't know when it's going to be announced, how far into development it is, or when it is going to be released. However, we can sure as hell bet its going to bring some big changes to the franchise!
In honour of Fallout 4, I thought it would be cool to list some things I'd like to see in the game; and maybe you fine folks would like to list some things you would want to see too?
And hey...you never know, Bethesda might be watching...
#1 Advanced jumping capabilities.
This may sound a little stupid, but is it really too much to ask for me to be able to climb up or hobble over stuff? I'm not suggesting an Assassins Creed level of free-running; but I would like a system where I can get over a small wall without having to sprint at it, tap the jump button, hold forward and pray. Realistically, the only reason games have a jump button is so that you can climb on stuff, and Skyrim/Fallout 3's jumping is awful. In GTA IV, Battlefield and Call of Duty you can run at a small-to-medium ledge, hold the jump button and you'll pull yourself up and over. Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed have systems where you hit a grab button to grasp and pull yourself onto a ledge.
When you have this big open sandbox environment; the fact that you don't have a vertical level of access undermines the level of freedom you're supposedly given. Being able to better climb up buildings and natural-feature might open up new areas for puzzles and secrets, give a new edge to combat, and enable exciting-new opportunities for exploration.
#2 Improved Menu System
If the next Fallout game is going to follow Fallout 3 and New Vegas, it'll have some pretty intensive shooter elements. I'd like a new Fallout to take stock of the innovations from other shooters by having quick and easy context actions with seamless menus. The PIP-boy from previous games had charm, but it could be a bit awkward to use; Skyrim's menus had a minimalist design but were still a chore scrolling through stuff all the time. I hope Bethesda can implement a way to change your gear and abilities without having to go through so many menus all the time. I'm thinking a quick select menu like the weapon/ability wheels in Crysis, Red Dead Redemption or Mass Effect?
We all like to spend a lot of time in Bethesda RPG's, It would be awesome if I didn't have to spend a quarter of that time scrolling through countless menus.
#3 Vaults, Vaults, Vaults!
I adored finding and exploring the Vaults in Fallout 3; what I liked most was the context of each one being a different science experiment on the inhabitants, which gave most vaults their own unique flavour. One vault had me seeing hallucinations, another was full of crazies, and who can forget the vault with the amazing Tranquility Lane simulation!? Both Fallout 3 and Oblivion excelled at giving us these alternate reality/unique areas like vaults or oblivion realms; which were a really cool twist on the sandbox design of the main map. Sadly, Skyrim mostly avoided these other-worldly excursions; so I'd like to see more of them in Fallout 4.

Lyle Spencer also traded
We now get Alden Gonzalez. "Thirty-one years and a few drastic moves later, here I am, promising myself to keep this entry short, trying to fill the incredibly large shoes of the great Lyle Spencer and hoping to bring you the best Angels coverage possible. It's understandable if you'll miss Lyle, but he won't stray far. He'll still have a big presence on MLB.com – and Angels.com, to some extent – by producing captivating columns, feature stories and plenty more of the stuff you want to read about."

Apologies for the late start today, ladies and gentlemen.
Today at the State Capitol, the White Earth Tribe outlined their plan for a stadium financing deal involving a new casino. Apparently they are not married to any one particular location when it comes to the casino, meaning they could place it anywhere the state asked them to. That means it could be at a place like Block E, where the city has been trying to get something developed for a while now, or even on the site at Arden Hills where the Vikings have been trying to get a stadium built for a while.
The White Earth Tribe runs another casino in Minnesota already, the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnomen, but it doesn't generate a heck of a lot of money for Minnesota's largest. . .and poorest. . .tribe.
Legislation was actually introduced this week, with bi-partisan support, that would allow this particular deal to move forward. The State reps that have sponsored the bill are Steve Eken (D - Twin Valley) and Bob Gunther (R - Fairmont). Eken said today during the press conference that he is lining up bi-partisan support for the bill and expects it to move forward.
Maybe this bill has some sort of momentum after all. We'll see what happens with it going forward.

New Study Indicates Broadway Shows Employ Higher Percentage of Minority Actors Than Not-for-Profit Sector
By Andrew Gans
A new study released by the Asian American Performers Action Coalition finds that the not-for-profit sector lags behind the commercial Broadway sector in terms of hiring minority actors.
The study focused on the top 16 not-for-profit theatre companies in New York City.
In the 2011-12 season, African-American actors were cast in 16 percent of all roles, Hispanic American/Latino actors in 3 percent and Asian-American actors in 3 percent (others, including Arab American/Middle Eastern and Native American actors, comprised 1 percent). Caucasian actors filled 77 percent of all roles at these not-for-profit companies.
On Broadway minority actors filled 25 percent of all roles for the past two years, the highest percentage in the six years studied in the report. In fact, African-American representation hit a six-year high this past season at 19 percent. Asian Americans increased a percentage point over the previous year to 3 percent.
The non-profits, which had once consistently hired more actors of color than the commercial sector (reaching a high of 27 percent during the 2008-09 season), have fallen below the industry average of 20 percent for the second year in a row, landing at 19 percent this past year.
The following are this year's rankings for the most and least diverse among the 16 companies based on percentages of actors of color employed:
*[The York Theatre Company disputes its rating. Artistic director James Morgan said in a statement, "We are always delighted to find areas we can improve what we do, but we are actually extremely proud of our record in diverse casting over the years, and find this recent charge of 0% diverse casting not only unfounded but ludicrous." Among the diverse group of actors to have worked at the Off-Broadway company this past year are Krystal Joy Brown, Stephanie Umoh, Gilbert Bailey, John-Michael Lyles, Angela Grovey, Alton Fitzgerald White, Anastacia McClesky, Janet Dacal, Nicholas Rodriguez and Rafael Rodriguez. For its part, the AAPAC said its study only took into account full productions; readings, workshops and the York's Musical in Mufti series were not included.]
The report also tracked the number of minority actors cast in roles not racially-specific (non-traditional casting): Only 10 percent of all roles received by actors of color were not defined by the color of their skin. The theatre companies with the highest percentage of roles cast non-traditionally follow:

Falcons Lose to Colorado State, 3-0
Nov. 9, 2002
The Air Force volleyball team suffered a league road loss, falling to conference-leader Colorado State 3-0, (23-30, 18-30, 22-30). The Rams took control of the match early and never relinquished their momentum, winning all three games handily.
Lamecca Jefferson notched 11 kills and was the only Falcon to finish in double figures in kills. Tiffany Bishop had eight kills, while Kristen Hamlett had seven. Brittany Edmonds led the team in digs with six. The Falcons finished the match with a .104 hitting percentage.
Michelle Knox led the Rams with 11 kills, followed by Tess Rogers with 10. Rogers led CSU with nine digs, just one shy of reaching a double-double. Melissa Courtney had 46 assists, while the Rams had 10 team blocks.
The Rams dominated from the outset. They notched a .389 hitting percentage in game one, knocking 19 kills and just five errors. Their percentage dropped to .235 for game two, but the Falcons hit .026, hitting 10 kills and nine errors. The Falcons took and early lead in game three, but couldn't maintain it, as the Rams used several runs to win by an eight-point margin.
The Falcons (8-19, 2-10 MWC) are 1-14 on the road this season and have lost their last six road matches and their last nine overall. They will be back in action on Nov. 14, when host UNLV to begin their final homestand of the season. The Falcons need to defeat UNLV or SDSU to avoid being the eighth seed in the Mountain West tournament for the third consecutive season.

Indian Intelligence Provided SIM Cards to Mumbai Gunmen
Does the conclusion follow? There are certainly a lot of questions raised by this information, whatever your position.
Kurt Nimmo, Infowars
December 7, 2008
It is becoming an increasingly hard sell to pin the blame for the Mumbai attacks on Pakistan and thus set the stage for an attack on Pakistan after Barack Obama enters the White House in a few weeks. It now appears Indian intelligence played a large part in the terrorist attacks. On Saturday, the Associated Press reported that a "counterinsurgency police officer who may have been on an undercover mission" was arrested for illegally buying mobile phone cards used by the gunmen.
The counterinsurgency operative, Mukhtar Ahmed, worked for the police in Indian Kashmir. "The implications of Ahmed's involvement – that Indian agents may have been in touch with the militants and perhaps supplied the SIM cards used in the attacks – added to the growing list of questions over India's ill-trained security forces, which are widely blamed for not thwarting the attacks," reports the Associated Press.
In other words, Indian intelligence had penetrated Lashkar-e-Taiba and ran a false flag operation through the terrorist group, putatively connected to Pakistan's ISI.
Indian police in the Kashmir city of Srinagar told Calcutta police that Ahmed is "our man and it's now up to them how to facilitate his release," said one senior officer speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information. Other police officials in Kashmir supported his account, reports the Associated Press.
Indian intelligence staging false flag terror attacks and blaming them on Muslims is nothing new. On November 23, Andrew Buncombe, writing for the Independent, reported: "India is in something of a state of shock after learning from official sources that its first Hindu terror cell may have carried out a series of deadly bombings that were initially blamed on militant Muslims." In addition to bombing attacks in the Muslim town of Malegaon in the western state of Maharashtra in September, the Hindu terror cells are allegedly responsible for last year's bombing of a cross-border train en route to Pakistan, which killed 68 people, according to Buncombe.
It should be noted that the head of the Maharastrian Anti-Terrorist Squad making the allegations about Hindu false flag terrorism, Hemant Karkare, was assassinated as he led his team into the Hotel Taj Kahal during the Mumbai attacks. "Killed in the line of duty, Hemant Karare was targeted as the man who was an immense problem for the BJP [the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party] because his forthright investigation revealed Hindutva terrorism and he was not about to stop. Clearly this invalidated the BJP campaign rhetoric against Muslim terrorism, but the BJP will still use the emotional fervor of Hindutva to win against the Congress party," writes Allen Heart for OpEdNews.
An exposé carried in a national daily published in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh alleges that Indian intelligence supported extremist Hindutvadis in their murderous Malegaon campaign with the cooperation of Israel's Mossad. "The newspaper writes that relations between Mossad and CIA are world known," notes the Pak Alert Press blog. "The national daily… has exposed that the officials of the national intelligence agencies have categorically stated that American secret service agency, CIA together with Israel's secret organization Mossad, has carried out several secret operation all over Asia," Pak Alert Press reports, translating from the original Urdu.
Indian intelligence, however, is no minor player and its foreign policy objectives currently parallel those of the CIA and Mossad in regard to covert destabilization in South Asia and elsewhere. "RAW [the Research and Analysis Wing, the Indian version of the CIA] , ever since its creation, has always been a vital, though unobtrusive, actor in Indian policy-making apparatus," writes Isha Khan.
Since its creation in 1968, RAW has been "given a virtual carte blanche to conduct destabilization operations in neighboring countries inimical to India to seriously undertook restructuring of its organization accordingly. RAW was given a list of seven countries (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Pakistan and Maldives) whom India considered its principal regional protagonists. It very soon systematically and brilliantly crafted covert operations in all these countries to coerce, destabilize and subvert them in consonance with the foreign policy objectives of the Indian Government."
Specifically, RAW "considers Sindh as Pakistan's soft under-belly. It has, therefore, made it the prime target for sabotage and subversion. RAW has enrolled and extensive network of agents and anti-government elements, and is convinced that with a little push restless Sindh will revolt. Taking fullest advantage of the agitation in Sindh in 1983 and the ethnic riots, which have continued till today, RAW has deeply penetrated and cultivated dissidents and secessionists, thereby creating hard-liners unlikely to allow peace to return to Sindh." Sindh includes Urdu-speaking Muslim refugees who migrated to Pakistan from India upon independence.
It now appears obvious that India's RAW with the help of the CIA and Israel's Mossad created the current situation and have set-up Pakistan's ISI to take the blame for the Mumbai attacks. Senator McCain, flanked by senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham, told Ejaz Haider, a senior editor with the Daily Times group, that it could be a "matter of days" before India carried out surgical air strikes if Pakistan did not act on the evidence provided to it on elements linked to the attacks, according to the Daily Star. "If the terrorists succeed in confounding relations between these two great countries, they will achieve their aim. We cannot let that happen," McCain declared.
A conflict between the two nuclear armed nations may very well be the "international crisis, a generated crisis" Joe Biden mentioned in October that will "test" president Barack Obama.
In August, 2007, Obama said "the United States must be willing to strike al Qaeda targets inside Pakistan," a comment that has led more than a few commentators to conclude that the U.S. will attack Pakistan in the coming months. It now appears the false flag Mumbai attacks, described as India's "9/11," will serve as a pretext to get the ball rolling on "surgical strikes" against Pakistan.

I am going here for next to nohing and receiving a quality education.
The financial aid is pretty generous, but compared to the astronomical tuition, you're really not getting much from the school.
Not enough assistance! The school is very expensive!
School is super expensive! The process of getting financial aid was fine but unfortunately wasn't quite as much as I wanted. Still working on getting more or else I do not know how much longer I will be able to afford this school.
This school would boast at having one of the highest tuitions i have ever seen, with total COAs going about $60k. Sure they provide a bit more financial aid than most others, but our costs are still high compared to other colleges who have already calculated their own COA and finaid.

Combine Two Mortgages into One Through Refinancing
- By:
- MortgageLoan.com - MortgageLoan.com
Many homeowners have taken advantage of the equity in their homes to acquire second mortgages in the form of home equity loans or home equity lines of credit. In some cases, a secondary loan has helped them avoid closing costs, private mortgage insurance, or higher rates charged to jumbo loans. And sometimes, using an equity-based loan allowed them to fund a home improvement project, finance the purchase of a car or swimming pool, pay off credit cards, or help pay year-end taxes in a convenient and easy fashion. But if your loans carry higher than necessary interest rates, it may be a good idea to do a mortgage refinance and simplify your financial life with a single, low-interest rate mortgage.
Refinancing can help!
Although financial advisors may admonish you not to put all your eggs into one basket, when it comes to consolidation of outstanding obligations, most would agree that one basket to encompass all your loose ends is the preferred way to go. With interest rates still hovering near record-setting lows, there's no time like the present for homeowners to take out a single low-interest rate mortgage, in order to dispense with any higher-interest loans you may have on your books.
Save money through a mortgage refinance
The interest you can save by securing an attractively priced fixed-rate mortgage will lower your monthly payments and also cut substantial amounts of interest off the life of your loan. By tallying up the long-term costs of a first and second loan, and then subtracting the cost of a single mortgage obtained through refinancing, you can get a clear picture of your potential savings. In most cases, you can save an astonishing amount of money, which will more than pay for the incidental expenses incurred through refinance charges. Plus, they may be tax deductible.
It's a great idea to simplify your life by combining two mortgages into one. Then, you can save the multi-tasking for your office.

Gunite Corporation will consolidate its North American operations, closing its Elkhart, Indiana plant and moving production to its Rockford facility.
Gunite, a unit of the Accuride Corporation, will also phase out machining operations at Brillion Iron Works in Brillion, Wisconsin, which, along with the closure of the Elkhart plant is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2013.
"While this action will be difficult for our associates and the community in Elkhart, it is necessary to return our Gunite business to profitability and meet the competitive challenges we are facing in a changing marketplace," President and CEO of Accuride Corporation Rick Dauch said. "Consolidating Gunite's operations into a single site in Rockford will greatly approve production efficiency, strengthen quality and delivery performance, reduce operating costs and make the business more profitable."
Gunite was founded in 1854 and became part of Accuride in 2005. It is now the largest producer of wheel-end components in North America.

Decentralising the web
Hello. I've done a few hundred words and I'm asking for views and opinions.
Basically I'm scared that the internet is becoming 'owned'. Does anybody on this forum know an answer moving forward where we don't have to pay or subscribe to a single entity?
I don't have an answer, but this is my opinion:
Services need to be free and open. They need to for the user, so we can control what we own and don't get locked down and blackmailed. They need to for the product, so it can grow and gain adoption through merits, not celebrity or faux-popularity contests.
We need to decentralise the web as a matter of the utmost urgency.
The basics
Take HTTP and HTML, the basic points of the internet where anyone can publish and anyone can consume. Take SMTP and Email, the basics of communication over the internet, where the same is true. No discrimination or prejudice. If you're an oppressed slave fighting your corrupt dictator, go ahead. If you're an angry militant fighting for a terrorist cause, join in the fun. The internet has no agenda other than free speech. Everyone is welcome.
The threat
In recent times the terms that define the internet are changing for the worse. We no longer have websites, we have iPhone apps. No longer email, but Twitter or Facebook.
Why is this a problem? Because if you invest in one ecosystem you will eventually suffer the negatives.
When users moan about Facebook changes, they have no options. They can't walk away with a coherent cache of their data or switch their service to a competitor, because their data is being held hostage. When Instagram introduced a new feature, allowing users to share their photos across a global map, they didn't ask, they threatened with a modal dialogue, literally forcing users to decide whether to use this new feature or have all of their location data destroyed. This is worrying, because it has been in the services' rights from day one to affect these changes.
When Twitter became threatening and aggressive over its API, they were affecting millions of their users who had no right to moan, and the effects are apparent sooner than anybody thought, even Marco Arment on his on platform. The issues go far deeper than anybody had realised, and now Twitter is too big and relevant for it to go, without destroying years of data.
The benefactors
Just about everyone is at risk. Twitter has hit our culture more than anything else in recent times. It has become part of the media. It has become a tool that helps fight civil wars. The Arab Spring of 2011 was attributed in part to Twitter.
The majority of Twitter users don't know that their data is a corporate asset. As such they probably don't care as much. Their service won't change, bar the few adverts and design changes to assist this. They will still be able to communicate, review and consume data. If Twitter went bust tomorrow these people would carelessly switch to a competing service, and life would continue.
Users have also invested heavily in Facebook, Instagram or Flickr for their photos, and Google or Microsoft for their email. More and more services are tricking us into stealing our data, and we are one-hundred-percent complicit in this happening, because it's free, or we like the implementation, or we like the design, or worst of all, our friends or interests are locked in exclusively to these products.
And other companies who share a bed with Twitter might need to take a trip to the STI clinic. Countless developers who have fronted Twitter's success with applications or promotion are hit, and they will need to learn from this not to go there again.
Tech-bloggers use Twitter as a syndication, communication and comment medium. Developers have in some instances based their entire living on Twitter. Apple have invested a large proportion of their marketing on Facebook and Twitter integration, two features they can't control and may become less and less attractive. Tim Cook should be taking note.
The solution
Decentralise the web.
Tech-bloggers should use social services to publish to through an open syndication medium. They should communicate through open standards, and if this gets aggregated to Twitter, then great. Twitter is what made them their dollars, but it should be a platform not a tool and a service too.
Developers should create agnostic apps, allowing users to choose their service. If Twitter cuts Flipboard off, the service is useless. If I could use Flipboard through an alternative platform, it would be business as usual. Client apps shouldn't be Twitter exclusive. It's promoting Twitter and their service. Promote an open standard that anyone can use and one that can't be owned. That way Twitter can't stop you putting food on the table.
Apple should have an open API for sharing and service management. Choosing what the user can use is limiting. There is a list of choices, and it is not the right solution. This needs to give the user their own choice. Even if I'm sad enough to use Google+, you can not put me at a disadvantage because of my choice. That is the firm definition of prejudice.
Why does Spotify not allow a user to share a track through a blog or an email? Why has it limited the choices?
These open standards do not exist, yet. The W3C stalled at displaying text on a 15-inch CRT monitor, and hasn't made any progression since. That consortium should be scrapped and started again.
We should not be debating web page standards, we should be debating communication standards and application standards.
Microsoft pioneered the web page by pressuring W3C to come up with standards that matched what you could do in Internet Explorer. Webkit and Mozilla are decades ahead with their own vendor-specific methods, etc. We can not allow Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter and other giant media establishments to dictate the standards of the web; we need to build the standards.
The future
Some geek will bring down the big guys with an open idea, because they will do it with more thought an intelligence, and hopefully with an initial service that has a prettier and celebrity-obsessed execution.
Diaspora didn't work because it's crap and everyone hates it. Identica isn't big because no-one cares.
I imagine the open Tent initialive will go a similar way. It has no balls or gusto.
We need a spotty future-celebrity, a future Zuckerburg or Steve Jobs that isn't hell bent on the American dream. No one I know knew who Tim Berners-Lee was, but without him all of these parasitical tycoons would be stacking shelves for Tesco. We need someone to pioneer a medium to the masses. The next HTML, the next Email with the sexy new client that makes it attractive to the gormless western audiences.
I'm sure a future will come where I can store all of my social data on my own back-room server using Facebook only as a service through which to communicate it all; where I have all of my email and Google simply sends and receives it for me. Maybe I want to use Twitter, but I want Dropbox in control of my Tweets after Twitter has syndicated them. I want to use AIM but I want to do it through Windows Live. I want an iPhone but I want to use Google Chrome as my browser and Spotify as my music manager and Skype as my sole carrier.
The future can not be prejudice. If someone comes up with a new service tomorrow, my OS needs the open APIs for me to connect to it today. Why haven't these been created, and created well?
Dear Internet, will you help the world and fight for an open, decentralised web?
This post was lifted from a post on my blog. Thanks for reading.

Tornadoes of the 20th century
Severe weather experts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. have prepared a list of some of the more notable tornado outbreaks that occurred in the United States during the twentieth century. The summary lists the tornadoes by decade and notes the technological and policy improvements that resulted.
"For meteorologists who study tornadic storms either through forecasting or research or storm chasing, there are a number of memorable tornadoes or tornado outbreaks during the 1900s," said Dan McCarthy, warning coordination meteorologist for the Storm Prediction Center. "Many meteorologists are in the profession because of a certain outbreak or tornado that spurred their curiosity, driving them to the science."
Technological advancements in the second half of the century have contributed to better, more accurate severe weather watches and warnings from the National Weather Service, ultimately saving countless lives. The biggest advancement for severe weather forecasting was the development of Doppler radar. NOAA scientists and other researchers took the airborne radar developed by the U.S. military during World War II and applied it to weather forecasting and severe storm identification. The ultimate result was the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) Doppler weather radar system currently in use.
Advancements in computer technology also have created continued advancements in numerical weather prediction, allowing meteorologists to apply physics in replicating motions of the atmosphere. This, combined with diligent analysis to recognize weather patterns, helped advance severe weather prediction to its current level of an average lead time of over 11 minutes for tornado warnings issued by National Weather Service forecasters.
The most impressive and devastating tornado outbreak in the twentieth century, McCarthy said, was the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974. The outbreak lasted 16 hours and produced a total of 148 tornadoes across 13 states from Illinois, Indiana and Michigan southward through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. This outbreak produced more long-track tornadoes than any other, killing 315 people and injuring over 5,000. The most notable individual tornado was the one that moved into Xenia, Ohio just before 4:30 p.m. It destroyed much of the town including the town square and high school, killing 35 people.
The outbreak of April 24-26, 1908 included violent tornadoes that moved through parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, killing 324 people and injuring 1,652 others. The worst damage took place in Amite, La. where 29 people died.
A long-track tornado on May 26, 1917 traveled across Illinois and Indiana for 293 miles, lasting seven hours and 20 minutes. The tornado killed 101 people and injured 638 others. Another tornado moved through the town of Matoon, Ill., destroying everything in a two and a half block wide path for 2.5 miles.
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 developed near Ellington, Mo. and then for the next 3.5 hours killed more people and destroyed more schools, homes and farmsteads than any other tornado to this point in history. The tornado cut across southern Illinois into southern Indiana, killing 695 people, 234 of them in the town of Murphysboro, Ill., and injuring 2,027. Other tornadoes occurred in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. A total of nine tornadoes were reported, leaving 747 dead and nearly 2,300 people injured.
On March 21-22, 1932, a total of 330 people died as a result of tornadoes that touched down across northern Alabama. One tornado hit the northeast part of the state, killing 38 and injuring 500.
During the Tupelo/Gainesville outbreak on April 5-6, 1936 seventeen tornadoes were scattered across parts of northern Mississippi and northern Georgia. A massive pair of tornadoes hit Gainesville, Ga. in the morning, killing 203 people and causing 1,600 injuries.
Three major outbreaks occurred during this decade. The first, on March 16, 1942, left 152 dead and 1,284 injured from tornadoes that raked across parts of Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. As many as 63 people perished in a tornado northwest of Greenwood, Miss. that hit as busses carried school children home. Five hundred people were injured.
A total of 154 people died and nearly 1,000 were injured on June 23, 1944 as tornadoes struck parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. The worst areas affected were parts of northeast West Virginia and western Maryland, where a tornado family killed 30 and injured 300.
On April 9, 1947, a tornado outbreak that included eight tornadoes raked across parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. One tornado killed 107 people in Woodward, Okla. Devastation covered 100 city blocks and 1,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. Cost of the damage at that time was estimated at $6 million. Clean-up afterward was hampered by cold and snow.
On May 11, 1953 a violent tornado hit downtown Waco, Texas, killing 114 people and destroying about 200 business buildings. Heaps of bricks up to five feet high filled the streets. Survivors were buried for up to 14 hours.
A tornado outbreak in early June 1953 produced two major tornadoes. On June 8, a tornado hit in Flint, Mich., leaving 116 people dead. The next day, June 9, a tornado described as "a huge cone of black smoke" carrying debris eastward over the Boston area and out over the Atlantic Ocean caused 94 deaths and nearly 1,300 injuries in Worcester, Mass. In the U.S., the death toll was 116 from tornadoes in Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Other tornadoes occurred in Canada.
The hardest hit area from a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma and Kansas on May 25, 1955 was Udall, Kansas. Eighty people were known dead and 270 were injured, which was more than half of the people in Udall, and the town was destroyed. For the entire outbreak, tornadoes killed 102 people and injured 563.
A tornado moved across southeast parts of Kansas City hitting the area of Ruskin Heights on May 20, 1957. Forty-four people were killed and 531 were injured. More than 825 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed, including the local high school. The outbreak itself spread from northeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma through Missouri into Iowa and Illinois. In all, 17 tornadoes killed 59 people and injured 665 others.
The second most damaging outbreak of the century, known as the Palm Sunday outbreak, occurred April 11-12, 1965. Nearly 50 tornadoes struck parts of the Great Lakes region from Wisconsin and Illinois eastward through lower Michigan and northern Ohio. The outbreak resulted in 256 deaths and 3, 402 injuries. Twin tornadoes moved into Goshen, Ind., destroying nearly 100 trailer homes. A large tornado hit Russiaville, Ind., damaging or destroying 90 percent of the buildings. As many as 44 people died and 612 were injured as one tornado followed another tornado across Steuben and Monroe Counties in lower Michigan. Tornadoes devastated areas in northern Toledo, Ohio, killing 18 people. Other tornadoes moved through areas about 15 miles southwest of Cleveland just northeast of Strongsville. Six home literally vanished, 18 people were killed and 200 others were injured.
On June 8, 1966, a tornado brought massive damage to Topeka, Kansas causing $100 million in damage. This became the most expensive tornado to date.
The most prolific tornado outbreak of the 20th century was the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974. During a 16 hour period, 148 tornadoes occurred from Illinois and Indiana into Michigan and Ohio southward through the Tennessee Valley into Mississippi and Alabama. This outbreak produce the largest number of tornadoes, with 30 causing F4 damage or worse. On one occasion, as many as five large tornadoes were on the ground at one time. The outbreak killed 315 people and resulted in 6,142 injuries. One tornado hit Xenia, Ohio at 4:30 p.m., moved through the center of town and demolished the high school. Thirty-four people died and 1,150 were injured in Xenia as 300 homes were destroyed and 2,100 homes were damaged.
Five years later, a tornado hit Wichita Falls, Texas on April 10, 1979 killing 42 people and injuring 1,740.
Thirty tornadoes spread out across parts of northeast Ohio into western Pennsylvania on May 31, 1985. The outbreak killed 76 people and injured 876 others. Twelve people died from one tornado that moved from Ashtabula County, Ohio into Erie County, Penn. Sixteen people were killed by a tornado that started over Trumbull County, Ohio then moved east/northeast across parts of Pennsylvania.
Another outbreak moved across Iowa and Minnesota into Wisconsin on June 7-8, 1984. The town of Barneveld, Wisc. was hit by a tornado just before midnight. All but the water tower was demolished and 9 people were killed. As many as 45 tornadoes in the entire outbreak killed 13 people.
The role of video tape and the advances in media technology provide many breath-taking views of tornadoes in the 1990s. People came from miles around to film the Hesston, Kansas tornado on March 13, 1990. One tornado started near Goshen only to merge with a second near Hesston and track northeast to just southwest of Topeka, Kansas.
Another notable Palm Sunday tornado occurred on March 27, 1994, when 22 people died in Goshen, Ala. after a tornado hit a church.
Most recently, a large tornado mowed through areas of southwest Oklahoma City and Moore, Okla. on May 3, 1999 demolishing or damaging over 8,000 homes and ringing up more than $1 billion in damage. This tornado was part of an outbreak of 74 tornadoes that affected parts of Oklahoma and southern Kansas killing 48 people.
Advancements in communications through radio and television helped issue advanced watches and warnings to the public. Plus, meteorological advancements from research in storm structure using Doppler radar helped forecasters identify tornadic storms, improving warnings from a few minutes to as many as 20 minutes and increasing public response.


text: I've heard about "COC" for so long, I finally decided to get an album. Though this is good, I expected them to be heavier. This sounds like "Metallica/Nickelback", and I was hoping for "Kyuss/Soundgarden". Maybe it's just this album, and not them. But still, this is good, and it does qualify as metal/hard rock. Big fans probably should pick this up, newcomers might want to get one of their other albums, I suspect they might be better. I just wish the music was as cool as the album title and cover.

The Principles of Battle Part 5
Tactical Coordination
As we look at the fireground tenants found in the Principles of Battle, the tenant of tactical coordination cannot be understated. In the dynamics of today fireground, we find the absolute need for tactical coordination to be a sharpened tool in the Incident Commanders tool box. Tactical coordination is not a new idea and definitely not completely understood by all fireground commanders. A review of any recent NIOSH report will clearly demonstrate the lack of understanding, or the lack of tactical consideration of coordinated fireground activities and events put into play by the Incident Commander.
In the absence of unlimited resources, the Incident Commander must prioritize the fireground into task and tactics which will provide the greatest benefit and outcome in the shortest timeframe with the least effort or strain on personnel. To do so the Incident Commander must accept that certain, undeniable risk must be taken in non- vital areas to enable him to achieve the superiority at the decisive place and time in an effort to gain the tactical advantage. Since agencies may find challenges in mustering adequate resources in a timely fashion to mount a tactical advantages offensive operation. Not to mention the difficulties establishing all the pre-built efficiency considerations necessary to complete the filling of all disciplines, the incident commander must use the concept of force multipliers and economy of force with tactical coordination while applying his will into the plan.
Time, however, tends to be our greatest enemy. Since we cannot push the pause button on the fireground we must act with swift and aggressive movement void of wasteful action. In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi, "The achievement of any organization is the combined effort of each individual". In other words, working together as a team in coordination on the fireground will result in the desired outcome of the Incident Commander. To do so, he clearly utilizes those resources on hand together for the greater good of the outcome. Hence, force multiplier as part of economy of force.
So, how do we apply these tasks in concert with our operations to be successful on the fireground? First, let's look into the most recent works of NIST. NIST showed in a landmark study that the crew size does make a difference in all aspects of the fireground tactical application. In that, with more personnel on scene the incident will stabilize much faster than with fewer personnel. This is no great surprise to the fire service but now it is science. With that said, many will still battle the need for appropriate staffing on the fireground and until such time as the entire American Fire Service has adequate staffing levels throughout, we must approach each incident with the mindset of coordinating actions which create a force multiplier in an effort to gain the tactical advantage in the shortest timeframe.
Let's suppose we have 6 to 8 personnel on scene of a working single family dwelling fire. The fire is content, compartment based fire, which has not spread to the structural elements of the occupancy. The indications from the 360 or DRA indicate the compartment has transitioned from the growth from the growth phase to the fully developed phase and is spreading internally within the structure. The Alpha Division shows heavy black smoke, under high velocity and turbulent I nature at, while the seat of origin of the compartment is located in the rear Bravo/Charlie Corner. Although one window is venting pressurized fire, the development within the enclosure continues to build in intensity. As you completed your 360 or DRA you observed a window on the Delta division in which you could visibly observe the curtains in the room. What does this scenario paint? What immediate actions would you take? What tactical coordination would you employ to gain the tactical advantage on this enclosure? And lastly, what considerations would you base your actions upon?

It was an unforgettable surprise for 5 year-old Fernando Franco, who suffers
from a rare form of Leukemia.
On Wednesday, his wish was granted to be surrounded by fast cars and one of his favorite singers.
"This is the day that Fernando's wish comes true", Said Ava Sandlin from the Rio Grande Valley Make-A-Wish Foundation.
One of Franco's other passions is music, especially music from famous band member of grupo Intocable.
Daniel Sanchez is a former member of the band and was very happy to help make Franco's wish come true by singing to him.
"Our music means a lot to people and it was an amazing opportunity to come out and sing to this amazing...amazing little boy," Sanchez said.

And freshies you shall have. The relatively quiet weather pattern of the last several weeks is about to change. Right now we're under a split flow with storms diving south off the coast, sending the freshies far south into the Sierra. But by Friday, the split flow consolidates into a northwesterly flow that aims right at Oregon, replete with heavy mountain snow and strong winds. Saturday is my powder pic, as there should be a foot or more of new snow on Mt Hood with the snow level dropping to the sweet spot of about 500 feet. Sweet because it's not snowing in Portland, which prevents panic in the streets and local media. But it also means it'll be COLD on the mountain, with temperatures in the teens at 5,000 to 6,000 foot elevations. A foot or more should fall on Mt Hood Friday into Saturday and it'll still be snowing on Saturday. Snowfall will be less as you head south to Mt Bachelor and east to the Wallowas, but Bachelor will still likely see a foot or so and Anthony Lakes should be approaching a foot from the storm. If you prefer better weather conditions with less wind and a few sunbreaks, then Sunday's your day. Either way you can't go wrong.
Awesome. Looking forward to it!
Right on Matt, it's about time the storm gods smiled on us Hood skiers. Bury the hard pack!! my knees be hurtin'! Thanks for the best true mountain weather forecasting! See ya in the trees

I wrote this bit of writing after i finished my 4.30 am training session... I wanted to post this on the Lakers day off but didn't end up having the time... If you like it and would like me to post more just ask... I generally write after my training sessions, sort of become a habit in the last 2 years... Anyway, don't usually name my pieces, but for the sake of keeping it organized, this one is called Morning J'
Alarm clock beeping insanely, my eyes slit open, god damn it's too early, there's no light, why am i getting up at this time? Alarm keeps going off, the damn clock is on my desk, purposely placed beyond my reach from bed so that it forces me to get up, dumb ass. If i don't turn it off, i might put a hole through the wall. I reach my arm out to the light switch like im brushing off an annoying fly or slapping a mosquito. Click. Light bashes my eyes with a baseball bat containing a nail protrusion, I cover my face with my hand causing a psychadelic motion of circles to replay in my memory. Open my eyes and wait for the darkness to fade, for the focus to be born. Instantly infront of me, i see my poster of Steve Francis doing a reverse layup under the out-stretched arms of Divac. Right next to it poster after poster of Jordan. Love is. Poster of the 2k12 cover with Magic right in the corner. And on my ceiling right above my bed, countless magazine pages of Kobe dunking and fading, all ripped and stuck to my ceiling, staring down at me, reminding me. Alarm clock keeps yelling at me. To hell with it, I'm up.
It's 4.15 am and the walk to the courts is lonely. Trees aren't green, they're dark, reminding me of their company as they dance with the cold breeze. I don't dare bounce the ball and wake up the poor people who go to work, so instead i shoot the ball up and make it land right back on my fingers, backwards spin, index finger last to touch, no pinkie action, only right hand shoots. Today I'm focusing on that J'.
Get to the courts and there is a dog sniffing around, always see the ol' fella. Throw my bag on the side line. Fling that ball into the air. Time for the warm up. Dribble jog around the court, bouncing that ball, looking up. Get down do some dynamic stretching. Tear. Oh yeah that hit the spot. Roll the ball gently to my bag, time for the chest bumps. Knees up to my chest up to half court, then sprint the other half. Already breaking a sweat, but my body feels fresh, i can feel the blood pumping now. Just a little bit more and im ready.
Free throws. 1, 2, 3, miss. Fuck. 1 suicide. 1,2,5,10,13, miss. suicide. 1,2,10,20,25,31, miss. Not till i hit 50 in a row. suicide. 1,2,15,30,40,45,48,49,50. Keep going, keep going. 73. Time for that banana. Eat it quick because i have no time to waste, my mid-range is begging for some love. Square the shoulders, steady the feet shoulder length apart, eyes on the rim, rythm to the release, ball above my eyes, graceful stroke, index finger release, backwards spin, nothing but net, land in the same spot, hold that release. Let's make it harder. Insert Kevin Durant. Look you dead in the eyes. Catch me if you can, pump fake, hard dribble to the right, step back further right, square that stance, release, hits the back of the rim, miss. Tougher. Insert Kevin Durant and Lebron James. I'm not scared of you, jab step to the left, hard dribble to the right, cross it over to the left, hard dribble left, step back, square that fucking stance, release, nothing but net. After 500 J's, i had used my jumper to take on every single NBA player and match up i could think of. I'm not scared of you, I'm coming for you.
Exhausted, i leaned on the post, sweat dripping down, the cold metal was making my forehead throb, but the comfort was ever so welcome. The sun was up and strong by now, must be at least 8.00 am. Started stretching, cooling down, 500 J's left for the evening. It never ends with me. It never ends with basketball. I tried to escape this obsession. Tried to get a girl, tried to settle down, do well in my studies, but there is a fire in me. Deep, always burning, always alight and everyday that went by where i ignored this fire, it burned away more of the distractions i was trying to cover my obsession with and now I'm back here.
Lonely, noone in sight, even that dog got bored of my J's, no gurantee im going to make it anywhere, everything is stacked against me. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Trials & Litigation
Client fumes at prosecutor's shot at his lawyer, calls it a 'below-the-belt dirty trick'
Posted Sep 25, 2013 11:50 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A lawyer who has been representing two defendants as they await resentencing in a high-profile investment fraud case is in an apparent "intimate, romantic relationship" with one of them, the prosecution said Friday in a letter to a federal judge in Manhattan protesting what it described as a conflict of interest.
On Monday, the lawyer, Vivian Shevitz, denied a conflict in a responding letter to U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan but said co-defendant Gary Tanaka wanted the court to appoint a new lawyer for him, Reuters reports.
"The personal 'relationship' between us is not germane to the situation at hand except to the extent it affects both clients," she wrote. "Both are fully aware of the 'conflict-producing' circumstances of any septuagenarian (I am 69 years old) relationship that has developed."
The main defendant, Alberto Vilar, told the Vail Daily in a phone interview that Shevitz is a terrific lawyer and he wants her to continue representing him.
"My lawyer could be involved with Attila the Hun and I would stay with her, she's so damn good. This is just their latest below-the-belt dirty trick," he said of federal prosecutors. "I've had eight lawyers and this woman is 10 times better than all of them put together. These people are playing dirty. They're trying to rid me of the one lawyer who has successfully worked for me. ... I think the prosecutors are trying to embarrass this woman."

I am debugging Carbide.c++ Express console application with debugger and i found one problem during debugging process.
When code execution passes TRAPD or TRAP clause and execution stops on
my brake point ( BP 2, See sample code ). This is ok.
But when i hover mouse cursor over the local variable
after TRAP clause, tool tip tells that "No value available" !
Same thing with Experssion window with same variabele -> No value available !
Sample code :
TInt i = 100; // hovering with mouse over the i is ok.
// Exection stopped on BP 1
TRAPD( err, retVal = SomeFunctionL() );
//Exectution stopped on BP 2
Now when execution is stopped on BP 2,
hovering with mouse over the i tells "No value available".
So, do i have to configure Carbide.c++ some way, or is this
feature "Known issue" with new one product ?

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Castle Street residents were pulled from their beds early Wednesday morning, after reports of a natural gas leak.
According to New Hanover County 911 Dispatch, a resident reported a natural gas leak coming from a meter outside their home around 2am.
Fire crews responded, evacuating residents living on Castle Street, between 11th and 12th Streets, while 13th and Queen Streets were blocked off.
Piedmont Natural Gas was called to shut off the gas. Officials believe the leak came from a ruptured line.

I think my favorite part of every episode is when host Chris Hansen emerges from behind the hastily staged Cost Plus rice-paper screen or batik curtain hanging in a doorway and says to the predator, "Why don't you have a seat?"
He then gloriously and dramatically examines the gifts the predator has purchased to present to his internet teen friend. "What's this you have here? Flowers, chocolates, nice....what's in the bag?"
"A hamburger." The predator nervously answers.
"Oh! A hamburger. You thought you'd bring dinner?"
"She say she like hamburger."
Chris could not be more smug. "I see. Anything else in the bag?"
"I bring Pepsi."
"Ahhh, a Pepsi. So flowers, chocolates, a hamburger and a Pepsi. Wow. Got anything in your car?"
"Um, what you mean?"
"Did you buy anything and leave it in your car?"
As Chris Hansen reveals in a voiceover when the predator is eating driveway, "In the car, Florida State agents found condoms and massage lotion."
Everytime he says something like "massage lotion" I become 11 years old and get the a case of the smirks. I don't know what's funnier: Chris Hansen saying "massage lotion" like it's a bloody knife or the fact that some 43 year old shithead thinks his 13 year old internet girlfriend is going to want a sensual massage a la Waiting to Exhale...

Quickly discover sensitive content
Tablus Content Sentinel 3.0 employs grid processing to scan files dispersed across large networks
Monitoring systems on the central LAN for personal and proprietary data – something industry analysts estimate 86 percent of companies must do to comply with one or more regulations, such as GLBA, HIPAA, and Sarbanes-Oxley – is already an enormous challenge. Then consider the extra complexities introduced as this content sprawls to remote offices and partner locations.
Content Sentinel 3.0, the data-at-rest component of Tablus' data protection suite, accurately identifies sensitive information on file servers, laptops, desktops, portals, content management systems, Microsoft Access databases, and e-mail archives. Version 3.0 debuts several enhancements, with performance and scalability topping the list.
Click for larger view.
Agents are used by many vendors for evaluating data at rest. That's because they spread the processing load and return only the results of scans or problematic files to the main server (older methods require you to copy all files to a central server for analysis). Content Sentinel is especially network friendly, typically transmitting less than 0.1 percent of scanned data over the network to the master controller. Most significant, Content Sentinel lets you define a grid of machines that work in parallel to analyze large information repositories. Additionally, version 3.0 includes 25 new Expert Content Blades (data-protection policies). In practical terms, this means most kinds of confidential information are covered out of the box, without your having to configure policies.
Nevertheless, configuring your own policies is easy to do, as you can see in this screencast.
Scanning the grid
Deploying my test environment was relatively painless. Only one problem surfaced at the start – one that Tablus support quickly determined was caused by Symantec AntiVirus. With a workaround supplied by Tablus in place, I quickly launched the Content Sentinel Management Console, created Site Coordinators, and then added machines to scan (Scan Groups). Because you can specify systems by name, IP address range, or LDAP groups, large deployments should go smoothly.
Similarly, Content Sentinel's options are straightforward. For example, forms let me check off which of the built-in content categories (such as credit card information or personally identifiable information) to scan for. I could also decide whether agents would be installed permanently on target machines, or only temporarily.
