Can it be? Is it September already? One of my favorite tunes, "September Song," was written by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson for a Broadway musical in 1938 called "Knickerbocker Holiday. The lyrics could apply today to the current political season in Georgia - "For it's a long, long time from May to December, but the days grow short when you reach September."
America rarely does time capsules anymore, but the ones it does should include videos from February 2011 of American TV reporters exulting in the triumph of the Arab Spring. "This is the sound of a people rising," ABC's Terry Moran told us from Cairo. For Egyptians, it was a day "when a people rose and made themselves a new country, a new world, a new life."
Though racial discrimination exists, it is nowhere near the barrier it once was. The relevant question is: How much of what we see today can be explained by racial discrimination? This is an important question because if we conclude that racial discrimination is the major cause of black problems when it isn't, then effective solutions will be elusive forever. To begin to get a handle on the answer, let's pull up a few historical facts about black Americans.
As the character Cecily said to Miss Fairfax in a play written by Oscar Wilde entitled "The Importance of being Earnest": "When I see a spade I call it a spade."
The news from Ferguson, Missouri, has brought back unpleasant memories from the long-ago riots in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It was the summer of 1970, and I was a young teenager close enough to the action to be appropriately frightened.
My first paying job was cleaning the bathrooms at the First Baptist Church of Carrollton, Georgia, where I was a member. I was 14, the minimum age for "children" to work. This was neither glamorous nor exciting work, but useful and needed work. On Sundays I often over heard the "little old ladies" of the church commenting on the cleanliness of the bathroom. I remember my subsequent feeling of pride. While not a glamorous work, my actions were helpful and appreciated by those who used the facilities. For providing this useful service I earned minimum wage in 1981, ($3.35 ...
It is a potential killer whose numbers rival the deadly Ebola virus and it doesn't get near the attention it should. Unlike the dreaded illness currently ravaging West Africa this is one with a quick cure.
As Hannah Arendt foresaw, we are once again up against the question of evil. An American photojournalist, James Foley, was presented to the camera and methodically decapitated. The instrument was not the ax reserved for royalty or the whooshing blade prompted by that reformer Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, but an ordinary looking knife. Death would be neither swift nor painless. This, somewhere in the bleached desert, was pure evil.
The structure of county government is once again on the agenda of the Board of Commissioners (BOC), which has scheduled a work session for Aug. 26, 2014. As readers may recall, this has been a topic of discussion for several months and the BOC has met with experts from both the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) and the regional planning agency. Representatives of both clearly have indicated that the current "hybrid" system of having both a full time Commission needs to be changed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of county government.
The other day I found myself thinking on how long I have been a part of the newspaper industry - it turns out that this will be my 50th year, with one year of my life working with mentally challenged adults and two working with people going into their final sunset, through Hospice.
After 14 years as mayor, my husband, Jim, decided to "hang it up" and declined to seek another term. He feels strongly that 14 years is long enough, that a change in leadership is in order, and that he would like to pursue his other interests

This week's column was going to be all about the comically nefarious Bobby Sigman and "Signgate," but then I heard about something even more terrible than a 70-year-old man stealing his opponent's campaign signs.
Today, everyday citizens find ourselves at a crossroads. Abandon the ideals of the American Revolution, or take control of our destiny. The American people are called to action. Every generation must decide if it wants to leave politics to the politicians - or whether we are ready for our rendezvous with destiny.
A funny man from Enigma named Bobby Rowan declared that anyone who loved politics was "genetically flawed." He said it with a laugh and a twinkle in his eye because he was very much afflicted with the disorder. Bobby was a State Senator from 1963-74, a gubernatorial candidate in 1974, a member of the Public Service Commission from 1989-94, and a lobbyist and raconteur without peer in between. Wikipedia finds that Rowan is one of only two "famous" people ever to come out of Enigma, the other being a gospel singer of some small note.
"We the People........." the first three words of the United States Constitution define us as a nation and the form of government created by the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers were determined to retain the power with the people to control the government and to forever be free of monarchs, dictators and oppressive hierarchies. In order to preserve and endure this power with the people, a citizenry must voice their views and concerns by their vote.

Directly across the street from my driveway is a short flight of steps that leads to the sidewalk. They appear rather innocuous, but they have been a part of some strange events.
Sometime not so long ago, I started wearing T-shirts in public again, and that's when all my problems started. When I wore a simple polo-style shirt, I didn't have to worry about what anyone would assume about me. But now, I have to be extra careful because each T-shirt -with its slogan, picture or theme - is just a bad impression waiting to be made. It makes me wish I'd never stopped wearing long-sleeve flannel shirts, rolled up to the elbows. That's how I dressed in the '80s, but I'm trying to forget my clothing choices ...
Someone must make this into a movie: Mobs of angry people gathering outside the walls of the evildoer demanding revenge, if not justice, for the mad scientist who built the monster that terrorized the populace.
In the two hours of the Republican debate Tuesday night, more energy was spent in back-and-forth bickering than substantive answers. At times, I put my head down to avoid watching the candidates talk over each other. Due in part to a fast answer-and-rebuttal format, it felt more like a schoolyard argument than the serious discussion that would help propel the issues forward for the voters.

Would that getting organized were as easy as stores and websites devoted to organization suggest. Being organized is more mindset and habit than owning a pop-up dispenser for cotton swabs, a stacking system for cans or a rolling cart for laundry, as marketers would have you think. In just a few months, more than a few of those must-have organizers can end up collecting dust in a dark cabinet or sitting on a shelf in a store that sells donated goods.

To quote the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live, "Well, isn't that special?" State School Superintendent John Barge and Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), have asked U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan for a waiver of the controversial No Child Left Behind law and, instead, to measure school performance on a broader basis, consisting of scores on a Criterion-Referenced Competency Test along with other factors in a "performance index."

As women, when we're children we're taught to enter the world with big hearts. Blooming hearts. Hearts bigger than our damn fists. We are taught to forgive - constantly - as opposed to what young boys are taught: Revenge, to get 'even.' Our empathy is constantly made appeals to, often demanded for. If we refuse to show kindness, we are reprimanded. We are not good women if we do not crush our bones to make more space for the world, if we do not spread our entire skin over rocks for others to tread on, if we do not kill ourselves in every meaning of the word in the process of making it cozy for everyone else. It is the heat generated by the burning of our bodies with which the world keeps warm. We are taught to sacrifice so much for so little. This is the general principle all over the world.
By the time we are young women, we are tired. Most of us are drained. Some of us enter a lock of silence because of that lethargy. Some of us lash out. When I think of that big, blooming heart we once had, it looks shriveled and worn out now. When I was teaching, I had a young student named Mariam. She was only 11 years old. Some boy pushed her around in class, called her names, broke her spirit for the day. We were sitting under a chestnut tree on a field trip and she asked me if a boy ever hurt me. I told her many did and I destroyed them one by one. I think that's the first time she ever heard the word 'destroyed.' We rarely teach our girls to fight back for the right reasons.
Take up more space as a woman. Take up more time. Take your time. You are taught to hide, censor, move about without messing up decorum for a man's comfort. Whether it's said or not, you're taught balance. Forget that. Displease. Disappoint. Destroy. Be loud, be righteous, be messy. Mess up and it's fine – you are learning to unlearn. Do not see yourself like glass. Like you could get dirty and clean. You are flesh. You are not constant. You change. Society teaches women to maintain balance and that robs us of our volatility. Our mercurial hearts. Calm and chaos. Love only when needed; preserve otherwise.
Do not be a moth near the light; be the light itself. Do not let a man's ocean-big ego swallow you up. Know what you want. Ask yourself first. Decide your own pace. Decide your own path. Be cruel when needed. Be gentle only when needed. Collapse and then re-construct. When someone says you are being obscene, say yes I am. When they say you are being wrong, say yes I am. When they say you are being selfish, say yes I am. Why shouldn't I be? How do you expect a woman to stand on her two feet if you keep striking her at the ankles.
There are multiple lessons we must teach our young girls so that they render themselves their own pillars instead of keeping male approval as the focal point of their lives. It is so important to state your feelings of inconvenience as a woman. We are instructed to tailor ourselves and our discomfort - constantly told that we are 'whining' and 'nagging' and 'complaining too much.' That kind of silence is horribly violent, that kind of insistence upon uniformly nodding in agreement to your own despair, and smiling emptily so no man is ever uncomfortable around us. Male-entitlement dictates a woman's silence. If we could see the mimetic model of the erasure of a woman's voice, it would be an incredibly bloody sight.
On a breezy July night, my mother and I were sleeping under the open sky. Before dozing off, I told her that I think there is a special place in heaven where all wounded women bury their broken hearts and their hearts grow into trees that only give fruit to the good and poison to the bad. She smiled and said Ameen. Then she closed her eyes.

I tell my students that when you write, you should pretend you're writing the best letter you ever wrote to the smartest friend you have. That way, you'll never dumb things down. You won't have to explain things that don't need explaining. You'll assume an intimacy and a natural shorthand, which is good because readers are smart and don't wish to be condescended to.

It's the curse of the teenage girl, isn't it? Ridiculed at every corner. God forbid a teenage girl could have a passion for anything. God forbid a teenage girl could know what she wants.
It's a fucking curse. You fall in love, it's bullshit. You're talented, it's bullshit. You love something, bullshit. You care about something, bullshit. You destroy something bullshit. Something kills you, bullshit!
We're all so trivial. Nothing we say has any weight, any precedence. Because we don't know shit.
What do we like? Who cares. What do we love? Who fucking cares. We hate ourselves and we're called dramatic and self-obsessed. We love ourselves and we're called dramatic and self-obsessed. Since when was loving yourself a character flaw? Fuck. I think it's astounding. Why wouldn't you want to raise a generation of strong, proud girls? I know why, because you're fucking scared, and you don't even realise it. Somewhere, in the back of your head, past all the patriarchal bullshit, you know what we're capable of. And don't look at me like that, I know what the patriarchy is, and that's exactly my fucking point. You underestimate us, you reduce us down to silly little girls.
In the back of your head, you're scared for us to have voices, you don't want us to have power. Because then, then we'll speak up about the shit you put us through. And you know what? If you don't educate us, if you refuse to educate us, we'll educate ourselves.
I am so, so sick of this biased crazy bitch-teenager idea. Being passionate doesn't make us crazy. And even if we are crazy, so fucking what? It's you who made us like this.
You, who raised your daughter to keep her voice down. You, who taught her it's better to be meek. You, who told her she just drunk too much, helped her throw out her ripped underwear, and never thought to ask questions. You, who told her sex was an obligation. And you, for telling her it's a bargaining tool. Her desires aren't natural. Don't act, don't speak. Repress, repress, repress. Repent, repent, repent. Be ashamed. Shut your mouth.
You shut it for her though.
Every lesson, every time you ignored her need, you plucked out another vocal chord. And you kept going and you kept teaching until her throat was empty, and you stole her words and threw her voice box down a fucking well so no one would ever hear her speak again. And you think we're the crazy ones? You're draining the life from you daughter so you can stick it in a glass vial and give it to your son in law.
You want us to be meek? You want us to be quiet. We're fucking monsters. You made us, you've silenced us, and now we're going to scream and scream until you notice.

When someone tells you, "I love you," and then you feel, "Oh, I must be worthy after all," that's an illusion. That's not true. Or someone says, "I hate you," and you think, "Oh, God, I knew it; I'm not very worthy," that's not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, "I love you," he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, "I hate you," she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views—literally.

It's sort of like if you have two kids, and you give one of them a cookie and the other one half a cookie. Then you give the kid with half a cookie another half a cookie to make it even, and the kid with the whole cookie starts to scream about how it's not fair that the second kid got 'two cookies'.

By comparison, domestic violence is downright controversial. It touches on complicated issues like power, rape culture, victim-blaming, and gender roles, and stirs up uncomfortable emotions. While few people would claim they support abusers, many known perpetrators of domestic violence — from Roman Polanski to Chris Brown to a number of football players — remain venerated cultural figures. Is it any wonder that, even though domestic violence affects many more women and families, breast cancer is the issue we've all come to associate with October? Every year 232,340 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer; 1.3 million are assaulted by their husbands or boyfriends. One in eight women will suffer from breast cancer in her lifetime. One in four will experience domestic violence. Good luck finding that statistic on a yogurt lid this month.

From The Possessive Investment in Whiteness: How White People Profit from Identity Politics by George Lipsitz
[Text says: If white racism manifested itself exclusively through hostility and exclusion it would be easier to understand and to combat. Yet the long history of interracial relations has also created a possessive investment in whiteness that entails embracing people of color and their cultures in condescending and controlling ways. The recurrence of racial stereotypes in art and in life, the frequent invocation of people of color as sources of inspiration or forgiveness for whites, and the white fascination with certain notions of "primitive" authenticity among communities of color, all testify to the white investment in images that whites themselves have created about people of color. In his excellent study of blackface minstrelsy, Eric Lott identifies both "love and theft" as components of the white racist imagination. These emotions and acts form the central force in the dynamics of white desire manifested in the reception of the blues music of Robert Johnson.]
The white investment in images that whites themselves have created about people of color.
I've been having thinkythoughts also about the white investment in images that white people have created about themselves, also, and what level of historical accuracy is acceptable; and this bounces off those thoughts in ways I can't put into words yet.

In 1970 the 'women's' movement was called 'Women's Liberation' or, contempously, 'Women's Lib.' When the name 'Libbers' was dropped for 'Feminists' we were all relieved. What none of us noticed was that the ideal of liberation was fading out with the word.

Sets see rise in turnover in wake of litigation upsurge
Readers' comments (1)
I wonder just how informative bare turnover is given that it is directly affected by numbers added or subtracted from chambers in a given year. Of course the work still has to flow through, however some of this will be attributable to the 'following' brought by new members.
A decline in turnover may be a good thing for individual members if their personal incomes are up from the previous year. Another factor is overhead and net income after contributions - are chambers investing in their future?
Chambers are a relatively closed book of course so one must deduce what one can from what information can be provided. One must remember that members of chambers generally do not know what others earn - usually only Head of Chambers, Clerks and other administrative management are privvy to such information.

I'm in love with the architecture and design of the Valentino Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The royal purples and greens, the silver plating, it's all beautiful.
[via the sartorialist]
Michael Kors, Spring/Summer 2014
Let's go away for the weekend.
There's much to be said about the opportunity that our clothing gives us to be deliberate and to articulate how we present ourselves. When I was in my early 20s I used to be very much on the side that viewed clothing as a purely practical thing—clothing protected you from the elements, let's move on and focus on more important things.
And it's true: at its most base, that's its function. But it's also a way to present yourself and a way to express some message or marker. It's not even just an armor from the elements, but I've also heard it identified as an armor from the slings and arrows of everyday life. You're sad? Put on something bright. You're insecure? Add something you love.
The older I get the more I recognize how important it is to act deliberately in pretty much everything we do and to try to leave our mark on things and express who we are, even if it's through a bright yellow pair of pants.

Council delays in redeveloping one of Epsom's most deprived areas are "absolutely disgusting" and are fuelling an increase in crime, according to its councillors.
Epsom's Court ward councillor Sheila Carlson believes a lack of urgency in the redevelopment of a dilapidated row of shops and flats in Hollymoor Lane, on the Longmead Estate, in Epsom, has left the area "steadily declining" and led to an increase in crime.
The site has been earmarked for redevelopment with social and affordable housing for years, with plans to keep the existing convenience store on-site and adding a doctor's surgery.
But work has still not begun on the project.
Coun Carlson said: "It's absolutely disgusting. This has been going on for at least five years. It's a really dangerous situation. Somebody could be seriously injured or killed."
She said the empty buildings have led to youngsters "messing around" and that an incident last month in which "kids broke into one of the properties and set fire to it" was particularly concerning.
Fellow court ward councillor Rob Geleit said the estate's shops were "secured against vandalism" last week.
Their windows have been boarded-up, rubbish cleared and the interiors of vacant buildings emptied to prevent items being set alight. But he still believes that urgent action is required.
Epsom's Neighbourhood Inspector Craig Knight said that while anti-social behaviour has risen on the estate in the last four months, it has not been a "dramatic increase".
He said the incident involving "kids setting fire to a toilet basin in a disused property" was further down the road from the shops.
Inspector Knight said: "We have put more resources into policing the area and levels are beginning to fall.
"It doesn't help for these buildings to remain looking as they do as it can increase fear and perception of crime.
"It needs redevelopment, but that's an ongoing process which is not to do with the police."
A council spokesman said that it expects to have a development partner "in place early in the New Year and to start construction next summer".
He added: "40 organisations have requested details to become the developer. These organisations will be invited to tender for the opportunity."

Ni wanna live forever: A Ni/Hβ zeolite catalyst is applied to the hydrotreatment of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). The metallic and acidic functionalities of Ni/Hβ zeolite catalysts show a synergy in hydrodeoxygenation, which proceeds without carbon loss and with high FAME conversions and yields of liquid C16 and C18 alkanes. The reaction scheme of the whole FAME transformation is investigated by using a batch reactor.

In Zr, we trust: La2Sn2O7 and La2Zr2O7 pyrochlores are used as supports for Ni for methane steam reforming. The Ni3Sn2 and Ni3Sn alloys formed on the reduced and spent Ni/La2Sn2O7 catalysts effectively inhibit coking, but at the expense of activity. The formation of a large amount of La2O2CO3 species on Ni/La2Zr2O7 during the reaction continuously restores the Ni sites, which thus maintains the high activity and stability of the catalysts.
- Ni–Co/Al2O3 Bimetallic Catalysts for CH4 Steam Reforming: Elucidating the Role of Co for Improving Coke Resistance

Ni–Co alloy rocks: Incorporation of Co into Ni/Al2O3 results in catalysts with significantly improved coke resistance for methane steam reforming reaction. XRD and high-angle annular dark-field STEM mapping provide direct evidence for the formation of surface Ni-Co alloy, which plays the critical role to suppress coking.

So I am a little obsessed with this crispy poached egg that comes on the pork belly cobb salad, as well as the benedict and brunch burger at William Hallet (named after Astoria's original landowner in 1659). They also make a delicious turducken (turkey, duck, & chicken) meatloaf sandwich with bourbon ketchup & bacon on a soft onion roll, as well as scotch quail eggs (wrapped in spicy lamb, beef, & merguez sausage — do you call that lambeefage?!?) with sweetbread remoulade.

Version: 1.0.6
Release Notes
The Standard 1.0.6 release is a minor update to the Standard 1.0.5 release, which builds on the Standard 1.0 FCS release, an implementation of the final JSTL 1.0 Specification. The Standard 1.0.6 release includes many bug fixes and updates.
The Standard Taglib, which is hosted at Apache, is used as the source repository for the JSTL 1.0 reference implementation supplied by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
In addition to the parameters defined in the JSTL 1.0 specification, you can use the following context initialization parameter to customize JSTL implementation behavior:
|The LRU cache size for expression strings. Default value is 100. You may require a bigger cache depending on your configuration.
The latest implementation is available from the Nightly Builds.
Bug Id Summary
Re-enabled EL expression evaluation in the EscapeHtmlTag tag handler so that the source browsing works in a pre-JSP 2.0 container.
The latest implementation is available from the Nightly Builds.
Bug Id Summary Substituted static values where Boolean objects were created. Optimization of the xml escaping used by JSTL Functions and the out tag handlers. Removed synchronization on getEvaluatorByName() method. Now synchronizing on nameMap and allowing reads to occur without blocking. Should be a performance improvement. Remove quotes from prefix when throwing an exception
Other changes and additions:
- Fixed Core TLV to allow EL and RT based actions to be mixed as allow ed by the JSTL specification.
- Trimmed sql dataSource attribute tokens so any spaces in the comma delimited list are ignored.
- Updated licenses to the new Apache License, Version 2.0.
Bug Id Summary Illegal scope attribute without var in "fmt:setLocale" tag ResultImpl should implement java.io.Serializable IteratorTagSupport example is missing Xml filter example doesn't work
Other changes and additions:
- Regarding bug #24892, it's important to note that relying on the serializability of Result objects might not be portable across different implementations of the JSTL spec. Also, ResultImpl will be serializable only if the values returned by the ResultSet are serializable too, which depends on the JDBC driver being used.
Bug Id Summary We take advantage of the new method URLEncoder.encode(String,String) if running on J2SE 1.4. <c:param> will then use the proper encoding. Resource bundle that only differs with the variant of the locale will now be properly selected. did not allow the specification of a scope without a var attribute to set the SQl DataSource configuration setting. Fixed. Page scope not properly set with <c:if>. Fixed. Config.find() fails on invalidated sessions. Fixed.
Other changes and additions:
- Added Version class to easily tell the version of the jar file.
Bug Id Summary Tag-handler reuse discovered a bug in 's processing of default values. This bug was fixed by initializing an instance variable in doStartTag(). We revisited this bug prompted by a report from a user of the J2EE RI and adjusted the EL implementation to accommodate the J2EE RI's default security restrictions. Minor display-related bug in ScriptFreeTLV There still was a bug when the
fmt:messagetag was pooled and reused, and a bundle was not specified explicitely.
<uri>definition in WEB-INF/jstl-examples.tld for /jstl-examples-taglib.
If is used to set a property of a bean, and a setter method does not exist for that bean, a NullPointerException was thrown. A JspException with an appropriate error message is now thrown instead. The tag handler for <fmt:requestEncoding> was not resetting the encoding value it picks up from the javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.request.charset session attribute between invokations. We now expose the exception object thrown by a bean property evaluated by the EL (not just the exception message). Improved the exception message when there is a failure accessing an absolute URL. Fixed minor typos in standard-examples.
Other changes and additions:
- Fixed minor typos in JSTL API Javadoc documentation.
- Added TLV examples (scriptFree and PermittedTaglibs)
- Fixed minor typo on standard/examples/web/xml/ForEach.jsp
- Improved Japanese localization
Bug Id Summary The
fmttags used to store the
BodyContentfrom one tag in the same field variable they use for
value. This caused problems in a container that supported tag re-use since the old
BodyContentwas used.
xml:transformtag can now be used with a series of imported stylesheets.
There was a bug in the EL grammar that caused attribute values like "$${X}" to be parsed as a single string instead of a string followed by an expression. The
valueattribute and the
urlattribute are required as defined in the JSTL specification.
According to the JDBC specification, a null can be passed to the
PreparedStatement.setObject()and the parameter will be set to JDBC NULL properly. The broken
PreparedStatment.setNull()call has been removed.
There was a typographical error in our sample TLDs for the PermittedTaglibTLV and ScriptFreeTLV validators.
Other changes and additions:
- Wrapped number formatting examples that use browser-based locale inside
. Now the parse exception that occurs with "de_DE" locale due to a bug in
java.text.NumberFormat(Bugtraq bugid: 4709840) can be documented appropriately.
- The "jsp20el.build" target was modified so that the JSTP 2.0 EL packages were renamed to avoid potential JSTL 1.0 conflict.
- Root cause now exposed when an EL expression evaluation fails.
- New regression tests for the EL parser.
Bug Id Summary Fixed '
xslt' attribute for
<x:transform>to only accept an
object exported by
<x:parse>if it's a
Reader, or
"UNICODE_INPUT = true"to the
options so that non-ascii values can be parsed.
GettingStarted.htmlguide updated to include all jar dependency information.
SQL examples updated to allow for the inputting of
dataSourceusername and password.
c:urltag no longer prepends path to page relative URLs.
Added a
<welcome-file-list>element to the example application's deployment descriptor. Modified
standard-docin a corresponding fashion.
BundleSupportmodified to use the current context classloader instead of the classloader that loaded it. This change was necessary in order for
BundleSupportto properly find resources in a web application.
The SQL
DataSourceWrapperalso modified to properly use classloader delegation to load resources.
Fixed incorrect
x:paramerror message.
Other changes and additions:
- Improved
EntityResolverto work with JAXP 1.2. URI's normalized so they can be processed consistently.
- The JSTL 1.0 Specification has all the official functional descriptions; out of date documentation removed.
- Hard-coded and browser-based locales separated into distinct pages in order to avoid conflicting response encodings.
- Formatting web application examples updated to use EL to access request parameters.
updatetags modified to catch a more generic JDBC driver implementation generated exception when it occurs and provide a meaningful error message.
DateParamtag modified to have an empty body content as defined by the spec.
PreparedStatement.setNull(parameterIndex, java.sql.Types.NULL)now used when specifying null parameter values.
- XPath performance improved by caching parsed representations of XPath expressions.
- Support for relative system ID's in
- Improved
- Added Japanese resources
- Added support for JSP 2.0 functionality in the JSTL EL. By default, none of the new features are enabled in order to comply with the JSTL 1.0 Specification. The functionality will be triggered by a particular way of calling the interpreter.

Marsh: War split families, states
Former Secretary of the Army speaks for Civil War dinner
By Joe Beck -- firstname.lastname@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- The Battle of Front Royal did more than hurl the town squarely into the middle of the Civil War. It was also a lethal tragedy pitting family members and residents of the same state against each other, former Secretary of the Army and U.S. Rep. John O. Marsh told a dinner audience Friday.
Marsh's remarks about the battle were among the first of a weeks-long series of events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the battle that rocked the town on May 23, 1862. Marsh was Secretary of the Army from 1981 to 1989 and represented Warren, Shenandoah and Frederick counties as part of congressional district from 1963 to 1971. He spoke before an audience of 40.
"It was a classic example of father against son, and brother against brother," Marsh said.
He focused his commentary on two Maryland infantry regiments, one fighting for the Union and the other for the Confederacy.
Maryland was one of four slave states that remained in the Union, but many of its residents chose to join military units in the Confederate forces. The First Maryland Regiment with the Confederacy played a prominent role in Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's famous brigade during the Valley Campaign of 1862, Marsh said.
On May 23 at the Battle of Front Royal, the First Maryland Confederate Regiment clashed with the First Maryland Regiment in the Union army, he said.
"For many, it was a reunion of family, albeit a tragic one," Marsh said. "A Maryland Confederate commander captured his own brother. Col. [John] Kenley, the union commander, was badly wounded and captured."
Contrary to some popular misconceptions about the treatment of prisoners after the battle, Marsh said, Kenley "testified later how well his regiment had been treated by their foe."
Marsh said historic ties between Virginia and Maryland before the Civil War reasserted themselves in the war's aftermath. He cited the example of Baltimore residents who shipped farm tools, seed and money free of charge to areas in the South, including Winchester, after the war ended in 1865.
Marsh concluded his comments by citing the need "to teach our children more history. The past is prologue. We, in studying the past, can shape the future."
The 150th anniversary commemoration continues today with another lecture at 8:30 a.m. at the Holiday Inn and a commemorative ceremony at the Fairview battle site just north of the Holiday Inn off of U.S. 340. The ceremony at 10 a.m. will feature the planting of a symbolic evergreen and appearances by Maryland and Virginia National Guard units.

'Weev' appeals AT&T iPad hack conviction
US cybercrime lawyers have filed an appeal against the conviction and lengthy sentence imposed upon Andrew "Weev" Auernheimer in a high-profile iPad data leak case. Auernheimer, a member of the grey-hat hacking collective Goatse Security, was jailed for three years and five months back in March after he was found guilty of …
Insecure server makes it OK?
"Weev's conviction under the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act (CFAA) was heavily criticised in the security community because the leaked data was harvested from an insecure server."
Couldn't you say that about most internet facing servers?
"I launched an exploit against a server triggering a security vulnerability which rendered the server insecure and I collected information"
Not saying that they should give Weev zillion life sentences, just saying if this is his defense, it's shit.
Re: Insecure server makes it OK?
"triggering a security vulnerability"
the security vulnerability was already there, it did not need to be "triggered"
Re: Insecure server makes it OK?
I don't think there was a 'hack' however.
It was a poorly coded page that allowed you to enter random ICCID's it returned the customers details.
Its not like they triggered a vulnerability in the web server that allowed them access to files on the server etc.
Re: Insecure server makes it OK?
Not random, sequential IDs.
At that level of insecurity I would hope so
Otherwise you would have no way of knowing whether following a URL would mean you had broken the CFAA. If the operator of the web site decided they didn't want you to access that page then you'd be guilty, even though there was no protection on the page whatsoever.
Re: Insecure server makes it OK?
Did you also miss "Auernheimer then distributed the list of email addresses to media organisations as proof of the vulnerability, forcing AT&T to acknowledge and fix the security problem."
No, having an insecure server with your customers' details is not OK and the only way to stop this happening is to name and shame companies which don't play nice when poeple tell them so.
Re: At that level of insecurity I would hope so
Likely an excessive sentence, but if it's even started, it will be in a comfy min. security adventure camp.
Weev is a self-obsessed and vain asshole, but will be a useful addition to the NSA or one of the several other "cyber-commands" once the charges are quashed to allow it.
Re: At that level of insecurity I would hope so
"Otherwise you would have no way of knowing whether following a URL would mean you had broken the CFAA. If the operator of the web site decided they didn't want you to access that page then you'd be guilty, even though there was no protection on the page whatsoever."
Wasn't this an issue in the UK a while back?
I seem to remember comments saying that this would mean you were guilty of hacking if you manually altered the URL (e.g. Going 'up a level' by deleting bacwards to the next forward-slash)
Perhaps other readers remember more details...
...the only message this sends to the security research community is that if you discover a vulnerability, you could go to jail for sounding the alarm.
What the lawyer could not say is that this really encourages people who do this sort of research to turn the results over to the black hats, for profit.
"publicly available on the net"
Doesn't sound like a hack to me.
Moreover it sounds like AT&T were the ones responsible for distributing them.
insecure set-up of AT&T's servers
Surely that's the way that the NSA wants!
I hope that he doesn't live to regret the name 'Goatse' for his company
"The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has teamed up with law professor Orin Kerr, internet attorney and EFF fellow Marcia Hofmann, and Weev's trial lawyers Tor Ekeland and Mark Jaffe in filing an appeal with the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals."
One can only assume that Larry Lessig was not available...

Endovascular Treatment of Popliteal Artery - Balloon Angioplasty Versus Primary Stenting
1. Does primary stenting have a lower 12-month restenosis rate than PTA alone in the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions of the popliteal artery?
- Alternative hypothesis: "Primary stenting with the Edwards LifeStent is associated with a lower restenosis rate than PTA alone in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the popliteal artery at 12 months"
- Null hypothesis: "Primary stenting with the Edwards LifeStent is not associated with a lower 12-month restenosis rate than PTA alone in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the popliteal artery""
2. Does comparison of the two intervention groups (PTA alone, stenting) disclose differences in terms of the secondary endpoints?
3. How do the intervention methods compare in terms of safety/incidence of adverse effects?
4. What are the long-term clinical implications of the two treatment methods?

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Angioplasty, Balloon
Use of a balloon catheter for dilatation of an occluded artery. It is used in treatment of arterial occlusive diseases, including renal artery stenosis and arterial occlusions in the leg. For the specific technique of balloon dilatation in coronary arteries, ANGIOPLASTY, TRANSLUMINAL, PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY is available.
Angioplasty, Balloon, Laser-assisted
Techniques using laser energy in combination with a balloon catheter to perform angioplasty. These procedures can take several forms including: 1, laser fiber delivering the energy while the inflated balloon centers the fiber and occludes the blood flow; 2, balloon angioplasty immediately following laser angioplasty; or 3, laser energy transmitted through angioplasty balloons that contain an internal fiber.
Angioplasty, Laser
A technique utilizing a laser coupled to a catheter which is used in the dilatation of occluded blood vessels. This includes laser thermal angioplasty where the laser energy heats up a metal tip, and direct laser angioplasty where the laser energy directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser angioplasty is performed in combination with balloon angioplasty it is called laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).
Angioplasty, Balloon, Coronary
Dilation of an occluded coronary artery (or arteries) by means of a balloon catheter to restore myocardial blood supply.
Popliteal Artery
The continuation of the femoral artery coursing through the popliteal fossa; it divides into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries.

Jaws Ranks Flacco #4 Among NFL QBs
Jaws (ESPN's Ron Jaworski) has spent the past few weeks ranking the NFLs quarterbacks one-by-one starting all the way back at #32 with Oakland's Matt Flynn. He recently cracked the top ten with Andrew Luck and shocked some NFL fans when he ranked Drew Brees #6 leaving Brady, Rodgers, P. Manning, Ryan, and Flacco to fill out the top 5 spots.
This week he released his latest installment ranking Flacco #4 among all QBs coming off Flacco's MVP playoff performance and Super Bowl victory. Many Baltimore fans have long sneered that the national media gives the Ravens very little love but after the Super Bowl run and the impressive stats Flacco posted against the very best teams in the playoffs—it's hard to argue against Joe at #4.
(Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger was ranked #7, just to end that argument.)

The Story Behind That Picture: "A Moment in Paris"
My experience is often that the first photo in a series is the best. If I should back up the experience with an explanation, I think it is that that when you see a photo, that is the photo, clear and uncluttered. The more you modify it, the more speculative it becomes.

oilll!!! fire? help!
oilll!!! fire? help!
i had some work done on the car recently (mpt clutch) and while that was done the dealer said there were oil leaks in a few places.
-oil pump o ring, valve cover gaskets (both sides) and left front cam seal.
i stopped at a rest stop after about 150 miles of driving and once i get out of the car, it starts POURRRRRING smoke. i believe there was oil dripping onto the exhaust, right near the cat. and stupid of me, i didnt check the oil. which is so stupid to me now....
being that there is nothign i can do for another 200 miles at least i drive a bit more. i was slightly afraid the oil dripping would get hot enough and catch fire.. but i dont know what that would require..
at 288 miles, im out of gas and i fill up. i checked the oil here and the dip stick comes out CLEAN as a whistle. I immediatly added at least a quart. i topped it off a bit over full. to finish off the journey home.
so right now, as it sits, the car spews smoke everytime i stop, cuz i guess the oil is able to drip directly onto the exhaust. and all the smoke gets into the car.
1st - anyone have an idea of which spot would be most likely leaking?
2nd - i think there is an active drip. as ithink i found a few droplets on teh ground but im not certain.
3rd - what do i do?!?! is it safe to drive...? will the oil catch fire? (obviously i understand i should probably look into the issue before driving any more than necessary...)
pleaseee advise!!

Touch screen in W7?
Although Im not using Windows 7 OS yet, what it has to offer & all that Ive seen, it's pretty impressive. I'm in the process of deciding whether to go with the upgrade Windows 7 or purchase a new Laptop/Notebook? One concern or complain I must state. I understand that Windows 7 comes with touch screen capabilities, but ONLY works with a human touch? Being physically disabled & cannot use my hands at all I type by using a head-pointer with an eraser for a tip. Yes, Im not going to be dishonest here, Im using an aftermarket touch screen with Vista, but Im leery on how (or if) I can still use it with Windows 7? I dont know how, but I would just love to get in contact with a MS Developer to express my views. Am I correct in assuming that the touch screen option requires a human finger touch?
|My System Specs
|30 Oct 2009
Windows 7 isn't limited to touchscreens that only respond to finger operation but to touchscreens whose controllers identify them as HID touch devices, a relatively new category. Windows 7, like its predecessors, recognizes HID mouse devices, which most touchscreens have been until recently. Treating a touchscreen as a mouse has never delivered the best user experience, as it precludes right-click-on-hold, calibration, edge acceleration, and many other valuable facilities. Consequently, vendor-specific drivers, which do provide these facilities, have been used. Windows 7 accepts most of these drivers. In the WDM driver stack, these are lower-level drivers. To the OS, the device still appears to be mouse. Therefore, none of the new touchscreen-specific features of Windows 7 will be available.
The reason that you might have heard that only finger operation is supported is that Windows 7 recognizes as touch devices only those that identify themselves as HID-touch. Of these, only the ones that generate touch-specific events allow you to use gestures and multi-touch. The two technologies most likely to support these are capacitive, which requires finger activation, and wire-matrix digitizer, which requires an electronic pen. Windows 7 can still use other touchscreens, including old ones, but the new capabilities will not be available.
|My System Specs
|31 Oct 2009
Here's my question, Right now I have an aftermarket touch screen over my laptop screen , which I already stated I use a head pointer with an eraser as a tip to type with & operate my touchscreen (no mouse useage). What I'm trying to deternmine is with Windows 7, will i be able to do away with my aftermarket Touchscreen & work right off of Windows 7 Touchscreen?
|My System Specs
|01 Nov 2009
No. Windows 7 cannot turn an ordinary display into a touchscreen. Most touchscreens used on computers consist of a glass and/or plastic plate placed on top of the display screen. Without this hardware, there is no means of detecting touch.
|My System Specs
|01 Nov 2009
What brand is the touchscreen you're using? I have a Hoda touchscreen on my netbook and the default windows drivers work for it.
|My System Specs
|03 Nov 2009
They have drivers up to vista, I think it'll work with little issues withou drivers. If it doesn't the vista or xp drivers should get you set up.

I've realised that I posted that it was my birthday soon way back in March, when really it wasn't that soon. But now it is, its next Tuesday. I think I might host a street party, if you want to come holla me. There is one rule only, you have to bring at least 1 litre of booze.
Second thoughts..thats the worst idea I have ever had. It'll end up being me having to jab an adrenalin shot into someones chest or some shit like someone will dive nose first into the concrete and die. Any other day I'm happy to deal with that shit, but not on my birthday. Sorry guys, parties canceled.
Missed me motherfuckers?
Laura: Hahahahha you know what I just remembered… when we put the radio in the box in the classroom and turned it up and left. We were actually dying we were laughing so hard. We were in grade 12. hahahah oh we were so immature, I don't even know how.
Me:"ME AND MY POSSY, THAT'S HOW WE ROLL". Line of that year.
Rachel: HAHAHHAHA CHIKONDIII MUBBUUZZIII
Laura: Hahaha did someone say that to chiko? I hated her so intensely from that day onwards.
Rachel: Hahaha no chiko said it to meg after she found her hat and dobbed on us.
Laura: Hahah she went up to meg and was like "yous are in huge trouble" with her little shit eating grin. Meg like ran faster than I've ever seen her run to find me and was like CHIKO IS FUCKING GOING DOWN.
Me: Yeah I was with megn, cause her and I were going to maths and then chiko came up to us and was like "yous are in big trouble" and then the whole of maths we were like dying to tell laura and we were devising getaway plans. And mass murder plans of her black race.
Laura: Hahahah exactly. From that day on anything chiko said we would like snicker at and like whenever she would walk into a room we would all just stare at her. fuck we were insane. I would have been so scared of us if I wasn't in our group. We just decided who was our enemies and those fuckers were done. Hahaha we were amazing. vomiting on the carpet with all our phones out recording it and like screaming.
Me: SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS TO PEACHES SONGS. "SUCKIN ON MA TITTIES LIKE YOU WANTIN ME CALLIN ME ALL THE TIME"
Our lives will always revert back to grade 12.
Its a good feeling when you thought you had eatin all the milko lollies that were in your bag and then find one.
