Renewable energy 'simply WON'T WORK': Top Google engineers
Re: Naive -> "What's needed are zero-carbon energy sources..."
The main problem with wind energy is storage, due to wind variability. Putting big reservoirs on the top of hills is expensive and unsightly. One option being looked at is storing excess wind energy in the gas grid, using C02 captured from residual fossil fuel plant in the medium term, and I guess from biofuel in the longer term. Again, all of this is feasible given acceptance of higher energy costs, but not a perfect totally "carbon free" solution during several decades of transition.
The alternative is much higher energy costs externalised into costs of sea level rise, more frequent storms and flooding etc.
EVERYTHING needs crypto says Internet Architecture Board
Well, it provides for the possibility of a somewhat better PKI than the broken one we use for HTTPS, where any of over 500 CAs can forge a certificate for any domain on the net. DNSSEC would not be a perfect PKI by any means, and there's no particular reason to trust ICANN as the holder of the keys to this kingdom either. But signatories of bogus NS records pointed to at managed zones can at least be held accountable. Such a bogus signed NS record for any next level down is observable and recordable, and once recorded and publicised, such would provide signed proof of bad intentions and actions wherever in the DNSSEC hierarchy registrar reputation needs to be protected.
DNSSEC also provides a fairly obvious place for certificated public key storage. For example, if you want to develop a networked application called foo, storing the public key for example.com at _foo.example.com seems fairly obvious. And given domain registrants already got the hassle of having to renew domains every year or 2, now's good time to move our business to DNSSEC domain friendly registrars in preference to those which are not. This could also save the cost of those stupid, expensive and near useless CA HTTPS certificates.
Pentagon hacker McKinnon reinvents himself as SEO guru
He was a very naughty boy
And I'm very glad he's now able to use his skills to make an honest living. Should have been given a hundred hours community service by the local magistrate and the chance to get on with life much, much sooner. Instead he spent what should have been the best years of his life awaiting extradition and is still confined to the UK until the US legal system and politicians stop behaving like drooling idiots.
LibreSSL crypto library leaps from OpenBSD to Linux, OS X, more
conflicting objectives
That's probably why the code got into a mess. Having a good testsuite will certainly help in refactoring. Problems this library has to deal with include doing integer arithmetic securely on 4096 bit numbers and larger and at high performance on different CPUs. And you can't afford to leave any clues in memory which might be reallocated to a different process afterwards. So you've got all this non-standard stuff done in many different ways, and need to avoid integer overflow and stack and heap smashing bugs as well, none of which you can develop automated tests for until you know about them.

Talking of conflicts of interest, can any beneficiary of strong IP protection be trusted to present an unbiased view ? Surely the conflict of interest present in the behaviour of WIPO is dwarfed by the conflict of interest inherent in the simple existence of this organisation.
Euro banks warned off Bitcoin as Canada regulates it
"disappear forever. Will it happen with bitcoin ??"
Unless the cypto protocols are broken and the system branches wildly without consensus about which branch is "authentic", I expect Bitcoins might be traded in 100 years, just as Penny Blacks are after they ceased to be carried by anyone's need to have letters delivered, amongst a historically inclined and nerdy trainspotterish sect. They probably won't generate many press articles though once they stop carrying some other historical baggage with them such as payment for blackmail demands, other than in the cryptocurrency equivalents of stamp-collector's magazines.
Of course this is all predicated on continuing interest in the "my CPU/GPU/Hashing farm is bigger than yours" electricity-wasting competition continuing.
Re: A matter of scale
If you're interested in non-state currencies which have been proven to have operated at scale with a stable value standard for decades (since the 1930ies) have a look at Wirbank in Switzerland. If you are a Swiss SME with a good trading reputation, then you'll be able to get the cheapest mortgage finance in the world using this community currency, which is very widely used and accepted by and between Swiss SMEs. It's just like a LETS, in relation to how the accounting is done, except it's done as a professional and not as a voluntary operation, and credit control is done managerially rather than by providers of goods and services within the currency.
State currencies not the only game in town
I'm a member of a LETS group which has operated for 21 years. Money earned that long ago is still spendable at par with conventional UK sterling at our trading events. You don't have to waste electricity to do double entry accounting within a closed group. And if you dislike conventional currencies as value standards, do the same kind of accounting using hours or minimum wage hours as your value standard at the cost of making it marginally more difficult for account-holders doing tax returns.
Re: I'm not surprised
Bitcoin doesn't circumvent any legitimate businesses. The idea that it reduces money transfer fees can only operate for those willing to enter into risks (which carry costs of their own) much greater than those undergone by those using conventional markets. An argument could be made comparing Bitcoins against gambling tokens issued and redeemed at casino cages, but I don't think any casinos consider their business models to be threatened by Bitcoin.
It's a bubble speculation which has proved of some ongoing value to some cyber-criminals, drug dealers, botnet operators and digital blackmailers. The exchange value of a Bitcoin is predicated on a similar basis to the value of rare postage stamps, but is much less stable. These are man-made artefacts in deliberately limited editions of interest to collectors of such, and of no intrinsic interest to anyone else, unless your computer delivers you a notice telling you one is required as a fee to a blackmailer to recover the encryption key from a server operated by criminals or your data will be deleted.
Bill Gates asks telcoms standards boffins to define future of money
Has to be multicurrency to be useful
Because many things can be currencies in different contexts. E.G. air miles, my supermarket's points, the balance I have with my local LETS, prepaid credits I have with Oyster or on my PAYG phone. And if physical cash is insecure, having to manage many physical kinds of cash in my wallet is worse. Pushing the idea that the whole world transacts using a single currency suits those interested in preventing competition so the usual suspects can get their rake offs.
Running Cisco's VoIP manager? Four words you don't want to hear: 'Backdoor SSH root key'
Re: Hang on a minute…
SSH can be setup either to use a shared secret password, or to use public/private keypairs, where only the public key would have needed embedding, and clearly the latter approach is safer if slightly harder to setup. I've installed it using both approaches. Cisco had wanted to leave a way in for themselves and/or their spook friends without it becoming so easily exploitable and had thought a bit more carefully about this, they wouldn't have used the shared secret password approach.

You can't achieve security without trust at some level. That's looking at it from the point of view of risk management which is possible, and not full risk elimination which isn't possible.
You can make whatever conclusions you like of the fact Phil Zimmerman is their CEO. He was the author of PGP and faced a grand jury trial many years ago which was eventually thrown out, based on the allegation his authorship and release of PGP contravened export regulations which classified crypto software as equivalent to munitions at the time. You can form whatever opinion you like of Phil's motivations in doing this, and of his ability effectively to select and manage whichever professional engineers he has chosen to collaborate with him on this.

Bitcoin was illegal in California? Whoops, governor fixes that 165-year-old money law

Bit like the law which required London cabbies to have a bale of straw in the boot repealed in the 1960ies, long after anyone was worried about starving cab horses. Ultimately that kind of law would prevent any kind of exchange or contract from being legal unless one side paid legal tender currency to the other.

Finding the formula for the travelling salesman problem
Re: Worked on something similar to this.
Me too, in the early eighties. I didn't even know then the name of the problem. Ended up optimising 3 variables, 1. The time on the CNC drilling tool used to drill a stack of PCBs, 2. The machine time on the much more expensive mainframe computer, and 3. the number of days programming effort.
I seem to remember I did it by dividing up the rectangular area into a number of smaller squares with suitable start and end nodes within each square to minimise movement of the drill head between squares, optimised the route within each square and moved between adjacent squares.

Egghead dragged over coals for mining Bitcoin on uni supercomputer

UK govt preps World War 2 energy rationing to keep the lights on
Re: Yup..
"Pity that the most crumpled places in the UK, i.e. those best suited to hydro-storage, are those bits most likely to devolve and claim independence."
Matters from one point of view, but not this one given suitable market incentives. Eire has been considering using their western mountain ranges for pumped storage. Not so much for their own needs, but to sell more reliable renewable electricity to the UK. Same applies to increasing interconnector capacity across the North Sea (as well as the Irish Sea), enabling access to Norweigan hydro and pumped storage on a commercial basis.

Apple: We'll tailor Swift to be a fast new programming language
Re: complexity and obsequiousness
Block structure based on typographical convention has the interesting effect of encouraging you to use the main roads more because of these minor speed bumps, rather than trying to construct very long journeys using seemingly more familiar and understandable but minor and tangled roads and lanes.
For projects requiring more than a couple of hundred lines of code, you should generally be focussed on the source files, packages, modules, classes and objects concepts relating to the problem and solution, not on how you get to do function, loop and branch control done in order to patch together something that just about works but is neither scalable nor maintainable.
Boffins pen 'Guide to better spamming'
Re: Fraudulent Source?
"How do you decide that?"
Look up the IP address of the SMTP client sending to your SMTP server, or the last SMTP server in the Received: header chain you trust. If the reverse DNS PTR record indicates it's a dynamic host, reject it. If you're its ISP providing a smarthost for it, rate limit it. If its address is in zen.spamhaus.org reject it. That will get rid of about 95% of spam.
You can then get rid of another 4% or so using more complex measures such as maintaining your own DNSBL, using Spamassassin, ClamAV, SPF, URLBLs.
Sony on the ropes after revising losses UP to $1.3 BEEELLION
Schizophrenic company
One side used to make fantastic innovative and high quality electronic consumer goods. Which were excellent at copying things. Sounds onto tape. Tape into sound. TV signals into pictures.
The other side tried to make a business out of media and copyright and wanted to stop the other side of the business making it easy to copy content easily or perfectly.
The solution - split Sony into 2 companies where one side isn't trying to sabotage the other.
Über-secure Blackphone crypto-mobe spills its silicon guts
Re: If that's not a typo...
The level of security audit and testing feasible on hardware and software is proportional to its age.
So if you really want a secure system, you don't want the latest shiny. You do want something that's been around for a while and has been very heavily used by many curious people willing to publish what they have discovered.
It's spade sellers who REALLY make a killing in a gold rush: It's OVER for graphics card mining
So why should the miner care
If the mining is done on pwned hardware anyway ? The beneficiary doesn't pay for the electricity used to run pwned hardware. It's an externality.
Given the amount of pwned hardware on the planet, it seems economically improbable that anyone paying for their own rigs will be competitive in this murky world against pwned botnet mining.
Why won't you DIE? IBM's S/360 and its legacy at 50
Cut my programming teeth on S/390 TSO architecture
We were developing CAD/CAM programs in this environment starting in the early eighties, because it's what was available then, based on use of this system for stock control in a large electronics manufacturing environment. We fairly soon moved this Fortran code onto smaller machines, DEC/VAX minicomputers and early Apollo workstations. We even had an early IBM-PC in the development lab, but this was more a curiosity than something we could do much real work on initially. The Unix based Apollo and early Sun workstations were much closer to later PCs once these acquired similar amounts of memory, X-Windows like GUIs and more respectable graphics and storage capabilities, and multi-user operating systems.
WIMPs wipe each other out in giant radiating spot at galaxy's centre
Re: Interesting, but
If it is closed and curved, and you could see the same object more than once, you wouldn't see exactly the same object, more a much younger and older version of the same object. Chances are you can't see all the way around in time to see anything more than once in that way, because the big bang occurred more recently than would make that possible. It's possible to see the same object through more than one tiny variations in direction, due to gravitational lensing. But it would be a very major cosmological discovery if we started to observe a provably same, distant and early galaxy in more than one very different direction.
What is even more weird is that the further you look in any direction, the closer you get to the same big bang singularity which existed in a much smaller region. That's a bit like the idea of a universe being like an expanding balloon but with an extra dimension - we can look in any direction on the surface of a balloon and you get back to the same point when the much smaller balloon hadn't been inflated.
USA opposes 'Schengen cloud' Eurocentric routing plan
So who are they speaking for anyway ?
There already is a European data network, and no particular reason for messages not to be most efficiently routed within it, as I'm sure very many are. But that doesn't stop a free citizen or business operating within an EU or Shengen country locating data and servers wherever personal preference, business or legal issues require.
I'm free to locate my server wherever it suits me and commerce offers suitable facilities, and having some crat or politician telling me I can't locate it where I want to reduces the reasons for me to want to locate it closer to home.
Organic food: Pricey, not particularly healthy, won't save you from cancer
organics likely to be purchased by richer consumers
Richer people are probably less likely to smoke or have other risk factors associated with poor environment, and less likely to have suffered poor health in the past which causes poverty. Also richer people who are likely to live older, so have a greater risk exposure to cancers associated with being around for longer. I'd guess these factors will probably dominate over the factors looked at in the study, in the sense whatever differences are more likely to be correlations than causations.
ICANN boss: 'Russia and China will NOT take over interwebs'
@James Micallef
"And what does "control of ICANN" mean?"
If whoever controls ICANN does something really stupid, people (mostly ISP technicians) get their DNS resolvers to point to emergency root zone copies provided by a more reputable party, e.g. some organisation formed for this purpose by the various TLD DNS content server operators. It'll be a little more difficult when lots of barely computer literate end users will be running DNSSEC end to end down to client level, as that would then also require automated OS patches to change the DNSSEC root of trust key. But that's likely to be a long way off.
Not sure if flogging off top level domains to the highest bidder, as ICANN are now doing, qualifies as really stupid as I guess it will make their directors and execs personally a lot more wealthy in the short term. But it's certainly going to increase breakage for everyone else.
Middle England's allotments become metric battlefield
Mixing measurements
Using more than one system at the same time is the worst as this results in rocket fuel strength or weak beer. On an international brewing forum I try to discourage exchanges of recipes using gallons as often no-one knows which kind of gallon others are using unless they know which side of the pond they're based. Pounds and ounces are the same both sides, but gallons are smaller in North America, also having the effect of us Brits making us think Yank gas guzzlers drink even more gas than they do.
Getting beer too weak or strong is not as bad a fault as crashing a spaceship into Mars on account of mixing up the measurements.
WTF is … the multiverse?
Multiverse needed
To accommodate all the random books in the Library of Babel postulated by Jorge Luis Borges, needed to include the works of Shakespeare should it be assumed such volumes arose entirely from chance.
If the fine tuned universe problem is genuine, cosmologists have a similar problem, but solving it using the assumption of an infinite energy singularity alone creating all possible universes doesn't seem any more plausible to me without much better evidence than the evidence we have .

"There are no clues to whether reality is real or fake."
I guess that's what Plato figured out with his cave analogy. To this we nowadays add the problems of perception and consciousness, in the sense our perception is bound up in our theories about optical and sound wave radiations impacting upon our eyes and ears, so we don't experience things entirely objectively at all - to do that would require our ability to perceive independently of the mental models we need to use to make sense of our perceptions.
Australia doubts ICANN is ready to run the internet
Law unto themselves
The fact ICANN is technically a non profit doesn't mean it hasn't been given a license to print money for the benefit of it's executives and directors. How much are TLDs sold for advertising purposes worth, and to what extent does ICANN bringing these into existence indicate any kind of global consensus other than a self-interested one ?
I see controversy ahead.

Bitcoin ban row latest: 'Unstable, loved by criminals' Yup, that's the US dollar – Colorado rep
gambling chip currency
Useful within a casino but not much outside. Created using a specialised manufacturing process with some interesting security properties. Your holdings go up or down relative to real money as they would in any casino where you gamble. In the case of Bitcoin this gambling chip is used within a network of casinos, so can go outside. Most users obtain these chips from a casino cage, here known as a Bitcoin exchange. It's also a bad idea to leave your cash at a casino cage for long in case the casino is robbed or defrauded and goes out of business. But without the exchanges, this gambling chip would probably cease to be played with, as new gamblers would find it more difficult to get involved, though these chips could hypothetically continue to be used between gamblers who arbitrarily value these.
And if the state really wants to regulate this game, it seems most rational this should occur based on the same motivations and methodology by which gambling is regulated.
LOHAN chap brews up 18% ABV 'V2' rocket fuel
Re: Mead?
Pure honey, water and yeast doesn't ferment well because it is low in the nutrients yeast needs to grow and has a neutral Ph. It's also low in tannin leading to a flabby drink tasting medicinal and lacking bite. Add some tea and fruit juice (e.g. lemon) and these deficits are remedied. The honey taste with the sugar replaced for alcohol also benefits from spices, I suggest gentle portions of cloves, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg and ginger. That's a wine mead. An alternative is to make a beer mead - use hops and a small amount of malt to act as yeast nutrient without overwhelming the honey flavour.
Never seen that airlock before
Searching for 'shax airlock' found nothing relevant. Also, if the initial ferment is fast, as suggested by these ingredients and instructions, there seems to be a risk of the airlock blocking with foam and a very messy bottle bomb if there's no other way for the C02 to escape.
I'd always suggest leaving 20% headroom for foam, and also for the first week no bubbler is required, just put some clean tissue over the top and a rubber band - less risky and gives the yeast a bit of oxygen to feed on until it gets started when the C02 blowing out will make the ferment anaerobic.
If you haven't got a proper airlock I'd suggest using a food grade plastic bag tied over the top with rubber bands during the second week. Also as there is no fruit pulp in the recipe to be liquified in the ferment, I can't really see what the pectolase is for - seems a bit pointless to me.

Re: The world would be a better place
There seems little point banning based on legal minimum duration of exposure to risk of ownership, though there would be a moral case for that.

Q&A: Schneier on trust, NSA spying and the end of US internet hegemony
control freakery
It's built into the DNA of the kind of government we have. This is based on the idea that a government collects taxes, the primary purpose of which is to secure its citizens based upon some kind of rule of law, as opposed to banditry or mafia rule which doesn't give a toss about any laws.
And if you don't like the consequences of this kind of DNA, based around the idea of government as having a monopoly over the exercise of power, then make this kind of government something we can progressively defund by supporting another kind, enabling us to vote how taxes are spent in a more direct and decentralised way: http://copsewood.net/writings/kaytax.html
Linux-friendly Munich: Ja, we'll take open source collab cloud
Microsoft needs to adapt
To the fact that competition exists. Just as IBM did successfully a couple of decades ago, by decoupling their major product divisions. Getting their business and server software to work well on other OS platforms would be a start. This would improve software quality and resilience also, by removing undocumented and proprietary hooks between the OS and application and network layers which shouldn't be there in the first place.
Getting Active Directory to fully support Linux and Apple products, as well as the main mobile platforms would also be relevant.
I've used Linux on the desktop, server and embedded platforms for years, but Microsoft still has some excellent products. And they really can't afford to restrict the market for these products to their own OS platforms.
Bosses to be banned from forcing new hires to pull personal records
Re: I'd pass that test
"In all a completely useless piece of legislation."
Not useless if someone illegally requests you obtain this personal data in writing. This written request then becomes evidence of the offence having been committed. Also going into an interview covertly wired for sound is likely to obtain evidence of this request spoken suitable for public exposure and prosecution. It's a standard news gathering technique.
I'd would also tell a prospective employer to f*** off if they asked for my Facebook password - I've heard of some doing that but I would never want to work for such a s***. That kind of request for me would be the end of the interview.
New password system lets planet Earth do the hard work
Problem mainly solveable using standards
Having to remember and input passwords makes any online system depending upon these weak.
The banks have (largely) solved this by giving everyone a uniquely keyed device with a trivial secret needed with it (chip and pin) and issuing all merchants with a device it plugs into. Something you have and something you know. A standard intended to be usable by any number of servers and users for any number of applications has to be able to do at least as good as this. Initially I think it will be an application run on mobile phones which have the standards compliant embedded crypto chip which can sign stuff or one time entry tokens as you. Those wanting a device which hasn't got other (non security) applications will be able to find such on the open market once the API and network standards etc are well enough defined. Goes without saying these devices should be able to talk securely over Wifi, USB and Bluetooth - mobile phone apps already do. Maybe the SIM card could have some useful crypto extras standardised for this.
If you want better than something you know and something you have, then not too difficult to add a fingerprint reader - something you are, but knowledge of your biometric used to unlock your device need be known only by the user and the security device the biometric unlocks.
The obvious userid is any email address which can be routed to message the security device. No harm and much benefit in having more than one which a security device can sign for. The obvious PKI where certificates for such device keys should be stored and found is DNSSEC.
No such solution will ever be perfect. Questions to ask about new proposed solutions like this are whether it is usable, affordable, open to all developers, and better than what was used for this purpose previously.
Steelie Neelie: ICANN think of more 'credible' rules for internet. (Cough *NSA* cough)

The problem is that its pseudo-accountable self-funding structure results in ICANN becoming self-serving as well.

Unfortunately a self-serving organisation isn't going to stop there. Flogging off .porn and .cocacola at $185,000 a pop resulting in pollution of the DNS top level domain space comes next.

MtGox takes heat as reasons for Bitcoin FAIL surface
Money laundering
"That one is a myth. Every transaction on the Bitcoin network is visible to the public, which makes it virtually impossible to launder money on it."
Not impossible for those in control of botnet capacity.
For them there's no shortage of Bitcoin IDs represented as public keys, IP addresses, and different chains of relays usable for hiding the human identity behind each transaction. IDs available on the Bitcoin network associated with exchange acounts can over time exhange enough cash in or out of it. Given very low transaction costs, much of the rest of the Bitcoin traffic can then be chaff, preventing traffic analysis being effective when conducted by those studying the blockchain. This means large enough transactions can split into small enough chunks and routed sufficiently independently of each other or any real world identity, e.g. traceable through IP address, from the POV of anyone studying the blockchain. Enough Botnet capacity can be devoted to mining that Bitcoin transactions costs are a profit to Botnet operators anyway.
Knowing the IP addresses may partly identify the legitimate Bot owners. This doesn't disclose anything about the identities of those criminally controlling the Botnet.

While getting older can open access to a whole host of interesting benefits — wisdom, experience and even some great discounts — it can also offer its fair share of complications.
Take Medicare, for example, a national social insurance program that offers health insurance for Americans 65 and over. Like many programs offered by the U.S. government, it boasts a nearly insurmountable degree of complexity to the average person.
Close to 200 women went to Briarcliff College in Bethpage to attend the Fair Media Council's Women's Empowerment Summit with keynote speaker Bernadette Castro, COO of Castro Convertibles and former New York State Commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
The morning opened with Castro delivering the key note speech followed by six breakout sessions with an impressive group of panelists from all different fields including some elected officials, CEO's, doctors, lawyers, writers, bankers and media executives.
Young people from the Bethpage and Plainview areas are getting primed to turn the page on a new chapter in life.
Bethpage residents Lauren and Shannon McCarthy, Mathew La Rose, and Danielle Siebner and Plainview residents Angela Formica, Lindsay Gladstone and Rita Iosefson were amongst the nearly 2,300 students who were awarded bachelor's, master's, doctoral degrees, or advanced certificates from LIU's three Long Island campuses: LIU Post, LIU Brentwood, and LIU Riverhead.
Despite dwindling odds, James Giulietti still hasn't lost sight of his childhood dream of playing Major League Baseball. In fact, every summer the 25-year-old leaves his hometown on Long Island to chase that dream.
Giulietti, a left-handed pitcher from Plainview, plays for the Rockland Boulders, a Pomona, NY-based independent professional team not affiliated with MLB.
Relocating to a new country can be intimidating enough, but taking on a brand-new occupation once you get there as well? It's enough to make someone think twice about the whole thing and just stay put.
But not Kumar K. Chhetri, owner of New Chilli and Curry restaurant located at 106 Woodbury Road in Hicksville. Originally from Nepal, where he worked in the antique jewelry trade, Chhetri moved to the United States nearly 20 years ago for a change of scenery with a desire to try out a new career as well.
An organization is getting ahead of old man winter thanks to the charitable efforts of youngsters and a local businessman.
Old Bethpage-based Kids Helping Kids by Kids Way Inc. received a $1,000 grant recently from The Allstate Foundation. The gift honors Allstate Agent and Massapequan Salvatore Ferrante's volunteer efforts to make sure everyone has a warm coat when the winter chill blows back.
"We are pleased to partner with Allstate and their commitment to making our hometowns better, safer places to live," said Kids Way Inc. executive director Bob Eslick.
When you stroll into the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library these days, look around — you might just notice a little something has changed.
The library recently finished work on an extensive $200,000 renovation project, a major undertaking that took well over a month of hard work to complete. The goal was to provide more of the services that patrons have been requesting over the years, according to library director Gretchen Browne, and to that end the library's old Media Department was re-purposed to make room for additional media space, more quiet study and meeting rooms, and a bigger Community Services Department.
For the past year, Manetto Hill Jewish Center (MHJC), a progressive Conservative synagogue in Plainview, has been celebrating its 45th birthday. And members — both long-timers and new ones — are comfortable in its skin.
A small, but growing synagogue, its motto "large enough to serve you, small enough to know you," has been embraced by its 200-family congregation. Ronni Mordechai, a mother of two young adult children from Levittown, joined MHJC three years ago.
Life can be hard enough without having to worry if the next bite you take will have you sick to your stomach. No, we're not talking food poisoning; we're talking celiac disease, and it's an ailment that affects, depending on where you get your statistics, up to 1 in 150 people in the U.S. alone.
A young Plainview resident is getting a jump on his professional, post-college career.
Matthew Silver, a master's student at the University at Buffalo School of Management, was recently selected as one of only six students nationwide to earn a post-graduate technical assistantship with the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The FASB establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for all businesses in the country, and landing an assistantship with the organization is considered the business school equivalent of clerking for a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

ZTE Valet: Can You Post the Pictures and Videos It Takes?
Tuesday 15th of October 2013
I simply cannot afford the monthly contract fees associated with having an iPhone or first-rate Android phone. The ZTE Valet Android phone came out in the last month or two solely for Tracfone, a pay-as-you-go phone company. I am already a Tracfone customer and it sounds like the perfect upgrade for me. I just want to know whether Social Media apps like GifBoom, Vine, Instagram, Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook will really, truly work on this phone and the 3G Verizon network that Tracfone uses. I understand that they may crash sometimes, may be a little slow and that I may be able to have only one app open at a time. I just want to know whether I will be able to post the pictures and videos I take with its camera. Does anyone have any comments or advice for me? Sent from my Nexus 7 using AC Forums mobile app.

ZTE Valet not compatable with square or ringcentral
Saturday 19th of October 2013
I just bought the new ZTE Valet Model Z665C from Straight Talk. Very nice phone and a real upgrade from the Samsung Centrina I had before. I am having trouble running a few common apps in particular Square Register and RingCentral. Both worked great on my Samsung Centrina running OS 4.0 .My new phone ( ZTE Valet Model Z665C with Straight Talk Prepaid/Verizon) is running OS 4.1.1 and has 1 GHz processor. My question is about the Android operating system. If an app works for a particular version, does it matter what the brand or model of the phone? I am trying to figure out if I need to return the phone and buy a Samsung or more common US brand.App problem 1: Square register loads, logs into my account and accepts typed data perfectly. It recognizes when I insert or remove the card scanner. When I scan the card I no response (no failure and no acceptance). I have tried the scanner on other phones and it works perfectly. App problem 2: When I try to log into RingCentral app, instead of it connecting to my account I get an infinite spinning circle with the message Connecting with server.

The Vine App and the ZTE Valet.
Saturday 09th of November 2013
The ZTE Valet (Z665C) Android phone running Jelly Bean 4.1 has been out for 2 to 3 months now, but the Vine app still does not yet support recording video on it. Every other camera-related app that I have downloaded is able to find and use the camera to suit its purposes, with the exception of QR Code and the First Community Credit Union check scanning app. The problem with those apps is not in finding the camera, but in focusing it. Since the ZTE Valet has only a single rear facing camera, it cannot focus clearly on something as close to the lens as a check or a QR code. However, Viddy, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, MapMyWalk, GifBoom and GIF Camera have no problems. What's up with Vine? I'd like to believe that it is just a question of an update and the problem with Vine will be solved. Would that suggest that the developers of the other apps I mentioned were more forward thinking than the Vine developers and sort of pre-updated their apps before the introduction of the ZTE Valet? Or does it suggest that MOST apps don't require an update to deal with a new camera phone

If you want great battery life you can't have those on all the time. If you want those on all the time, you won't get great battery life. It is best to find the compromise that works best for you and what you want most out of your phone.

ZTE Valet terrible Wifi
Thursday 26th of December 2013
My wife bought me a ZTE Valet for Christmas to replace my LG P506. I read reviews where people complained of poor Wifi but I thought that it was probably just weak router beacons. Nope, it is the ZTE.In places where my LG gets a full set of wifi bars, the ZTE Valet receives 1 or 2 bars. At Starbucks where I sit at the outside table the LG connects just fine but the ZTE Valet can't even find the signal. I like the phone for everything else, it is Jellybean, is responsive but I can't stand a poor wifi signal.I have an old cheap Pandigital laying around that can connect in places the ZTE Valet can not connect.Why would thy have made such a weak Wifi receiver. Bad mistake and this puppy is going back to the store.

Transer old Tracfone number to ZTE Valet
Tuesday 18th of March 2014
I would like to transfer my old Tracfone number and the 200 minutes from my old phone to a ZTE Valet I purchased on ebay that is supposed to come with 600 minutes included. I would imagine I would need to activate the ZTE by transfering my old number first THEN the 200 minutes from old phone THEN add the 600 minutes. Is that the correct procedure?Had Tracfone for years and it is a great value BUT its customer service is nearly non existent. I don't want to complicate this and mess everything up making it 10 times harder than it needs to be by not doing the steps in the right order.

ZTE Valet messaging problem
Monday 21st of April 2014
Just switched to Straight Talk on a ZTE Valet. Can send messages to anyone, UNLESS answering a msg that came from an IPhone - then the outgoing msg fails. Found some online tips indicating that an Access Point Name needs to be added/modified on the phone. Now for the prob - I may be crazy, but I can't find the APN list on the ZTE Valet. Should be under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More..., but the only thing there is VPN. Any ideas on why I can't find the APN list on the Valet, or any other way to correct the prob responding to an iPhone msg? Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

Due to bad economy, some restaurants are eliminating busboys
Catching up on some WSJ reading and came across this: Due to slumping sales and fewer customers, some restaurants are eliminating busboys and relying on servers to take over typical busboy duties such as clearing tables and refilling water glasses. Not surprisingly, some servers are not happy about the increased workload.
I don't know what to make of this statement from a restaurant industry consultant: "The busser is a luxury that, in this environment, is very difficult to justify." Really? It seems to me bussers are needed to ensure efficient and smooth running of the restaurant both in the dining room and the kitchen. Sometimes, bussers are invisible but the work is essential. Yes, servers can take up the slack to some degree but service will suffer if servers are wiping tables, moving dishes to the sinks, and trying to wash their hands after handling dirty dishes all while performing their regular duties.
And to top it all off, since eliminating busboys, many more spoons than usual are disappearing from Bob Evans. I wonder if the same is happening at other restaurants who've cut back on busboys.
Who knew that busboys made more per hour than servers. I mean I knew servers made 50% of minimum wage, but I never thought about a busboy making more. In a lot of the restaurants around here the busboys are hispanic, so I thought that immigration might have something to do with it, but I sure was wrong. And spoons? That's really odd, IMO. Very interesting article.
re: danhole
The busboys may make per hour in wages but with tips servers will end up with more money at the end of the day. There is no server that would willing switch places with their busboy.
re: KTinNYC
Oh, I'm sure of that! Both my daughters have been servers. The servers work their butts off and it just seems so wrong to add the burden of bussing the tables along with providing good service. I'll bet this bites the restaurants in the behinds in the end.
re: danhole
I sympathize with the restaurants. In this economy they all have to cut corners somewhere and we all know we would not put up with poorer quality product and most people would complain if portion size went down so where to cut cost? Payroll is the easiest fixed cost for them to control so fewer workers may be there only solution until things pick up.
re: KTinNYC
True, but the bussers at my work also earn only $2.63 per hours, plus tips. I realize there are some hidden additional costs (but not many, as most bussers don't have benefits), but restaurants really can't swing a couple bucks an hour? If not, there are bigger problems than the economy.
re: invinotheresverde
From everything I've read the average profit margin for most restaurants is 5%-6% and with this economy being what it is this average margin will surely be lower. If a restaurant lets go 2 bussers, making $2.63 per hour, that work a 6 hour shift over the course of a year they can save over $11,000 a year, not an insubstantial amount of money
I don't support this move but I really have sympathy for the restaurants.
re: invinotheresverde
I'm guessing that their pay may be a labor law violation. In most cases, anyone who is "indirectly" tipped, meaning relying on other employees who are not required to do so for tips, must be paid full minimum wage. In both cases, any server or busser who makes less than minimum wage with wages and tips combined must be reimbursed by the employer to ensure full minimum wage.
re: soxlover
That must vary from state to state, since every place I've worked in MA has paid their bussers $2.63. Many of these were corporate. Why would they flaut the law?
re: invinotheresverde
Same here, invino. Never worked in MA, but have in four other states. Never seen bussers, runners, or any other "indirectly tipped" employee make the full minimum wage. Perhaps there are states where the law requires them to be, but I imagine they're in the minority.
re: invinotheresverde
>>""Why would they flaut the law?""
Its all about money-greed-or exploitation...
"Work" still requires minimum wage.
Tipped employees are in the "Sales" category (as waitstaff). Unlikely table bussers or food runners would pass the "Sales-Tip" test- thus should be BUSTED- IMHO.
I may be flaunting the crystal ball a bit, but some companies that add further expectations of work, could lose the ability to treat waitstaff as tipped employees.
re: danhole
Waiters make much less than 50% of minimum wage per hour.
Waiter pay in MA is $2.63 per hour; minimum wage is $8.00.
re: invinotheresverde
Your matching funds and workman's comp are related to payroll and number of people on it.
re: invinotheresverde
Our minimum wage is not that high. I'm not exactly sure what servers make these days. And I do have sympathy for the restaurants. They are shutting down right and left around here. One day they are there, the next day - poof! It's incredibly sad.
re: danhole
"Our minimum wage is not that high."
Yes, Massachusetts minimum wage *is* $8.00.
and from the MA Dept. of Labor website: http://preview.tinyurl.com/cd26e5
re: LindaWhit
I don't live in Massachusetts, Linda.
re: danhole
I thought you were replying to invino's comment re: MA minimum wage. My apologies.
re: danhole
I just happen to come across these post and fthought this would prob. be the perfect place for me to vent. I am a server in an area of Boston that at one time was the place to make money. Lately not so much. And let me tell you I am a server who will clear my own tables and do whatever it takes to make the operation work all while keeping to safety and sanitary codes. My employer has kept bussers and host on. In other terms..... I work my shift which now I'm lucky if I have 2 or 3 tables a night and I am even lucky if I am getting 10-15% tips. plus at the end of the shift I have to (even thought it is against state law to make us) tip out my host (who makes a of min. 9$hr), busser (who makes an amount i think i heared $25 under the table which means no taxes) and the bartender (averages min. wage of 5hr+tips) and I must say the bar at my place is seating 5x more ppl then I get in a night. The bar also servers full menu so you know check averages are at least 30perperson. My thing is if I make $43 on a 5hr shift and have to tip at least 8dollars out to people who already make over min wage and on top of that I have all my wages in a check which get taxed I am lucky if for that night I made $24 which in actually is definitely no min wage. I am not sure how to even address my boss about this problem because I know they will prob. just tell me there are plenty of people out there who would be happy with what every I am making. I already work two jobs and every little bit is needed!!!! What should I do?? Oo0 and another thing in the past year I have kept track of all the tip outs I have made it this year alone was $5467.00 so now even though my W-2 includes that in my income for the year my accountant isn,t sure how i can write that off. because I did not make that money and quite frankly if the people i am giving it to who already make over min. wage don't have to pay taxes on it WHY DO I!!!!
re: rEdOrWhItE
The only recourse is to find a serving job at a restaurant that doesn't require tip out (some independents don't) or quit serving, which is what I did. I went into retail for PT jobs instead. It's not high paying, but it's STEADY and though you have to put in more hours to make what you would make serving, it's guaranteed income without the variances of the whims of the public. You get paid your hourly wage whether the customers are happy with the store or not, whether their coupon works or not, whether they found what they were looking for, or not, etc.
Eventually I couldn't take the standing any longer so I moved to office work for a FT job and retail for PT only. With that you also get insurance benefits and paid days off, which you don't get in PT retail, and some FT retail jobs are cutting these benefits as well. All I can tell you is, learn to type and get out of there. The worst office job has better benefits than the best server job I ever had.
The only places I've worked with bussers are chains, and they only get about 60-70% of the bussing work done on all tables, some they just don't get to at all. You are expected to "pre-bus" as you go along - removing 90% of the items so that by the time the customer leaves, the only thing the busser has to do is take maybe 2 glasses off the table and wipe it down. The indies I've worked at, you do all the bussing. Only in pretty high end establishments have I seen servers who literally JUST serve and don't bus. I think they could elminate bussers without it being too much of an impact on service.
re: rockandroller1
I totally, I have bussed, been a server for a while, been a bartender, line cook, head chef and a part owner ... yes We always now at the restaurant have 2 guys that help in the kitchen they are our runners. They make tea, coffee, get anything we need from the freezer, start the potato masher up, get things out of the oven and the other takes care of outside issues, refilling empty items, help behind the bar area, restock ice, and bus tables. It works great. They are too young teenagers that need a part time job. Since we are only open for dinner it is perfect. We actually have four guys. 2 each night. All only work 3 days a week and I let them work out their own schedule. It makes them feel better and it has always worked. The servers tip accordingly how much if anything they did extra. Never once had an issue. I think sometimes, if you have quality people, they can work together well and not have a problem.
I think most servers with maybe just a little hlep now and then would be fine with out bus boys or girls.
re: kchurchill5
A friend of mine used to work at a small restaurant without bussers and he eventually quit because he wasn't able to give the kind of service he was used to giving. I think it depends on the size of your station and what level of service you are giving. If it's a fairly informal cafe it would be fine, but much more difficult at a higher end restaurant.
Remember, this is in restaurants where business is off substantially. Less business means a lighter work load for the servers, so they should be able to handle it. Given the choice of doing a litle extra or joining the ranks of the unemployed the choice seems pretty easy. The establishment needs to cut expenses or go out of business.

Hear, hear. They do like to demonize the workers, although in the case of a small establishment like a restaurant there may not be anywhere else to cut.
My concern with this whole deal is that the waiter who is serving you has just bussed a table, wiped it down with a nasty rag, and then gone to grab your food with no time to wash between tasks. YUCK
re: coney with everything
Yeah, well I wouldn't count on waiters doing a lot of washing between tasks anyway. As fo the nasty rags--yeah, the 5 second rule does NOT apply to food that hits the table!
re: AHan
A scary thought has entered my mind... (See below link) I wonder how those tables would test out???
Back when I was a "Service Assistant" (Denny's-job description) I refused the "busboy" mentality considering I was outnumbered as much as 12 waitstaff members. My concerns/duties was not to run out of dishes, drink-items, tableware, and pots/pans +++ and to keep the restrooms and parking lot clean.
Spoons??? LOL!!! I always carried a magnet when doing trash detail. Given the fact our waitstaff tended to stuff coffee cups with napkins/table litter (and times with their tips) the spoons were generally found in the wait station trash cans.
I work as a server in a restaurant that doesn't have bussers, servers assistants, or anyone else for the servers to pass work off to. And we're known for our excellent service. We work together, we help one another, we have great management, and everything works out well. We are a large volume store, but it amazes me how inefficiently smaller restaurants are. There is very little to no structure on how servers work and they never help each other out. At the end of the night, I tip out less than 3%, compared to 8-10% that my server friends at other restaurants tip out to the bussers and the rest of their staff. Personally, I'd rather keep my money and clear a dish when I see it.
To date, I have not observed this "trend." Maybe it's the restaurants, or maybe I am just not observing, as closely, as I normally do. Will look carefully in the future.
In the last dozen places that we've dined, there was only one, without a bussing staff, and it was a fairly casual spot on Maui - combo bar and restaurant, kinda' "bistro" in style. All others had a bussing staff.
Now, I have been known to tip the busser, if the job was well done, or something extra was asked for and delivered. In one spot on Kaua`i, I tipped our busser more than I did the server, because he was so much better, and was also more charming in his interaction with us.
Gonna' keep my eyes open,

On the same day the story was published, a visibly upset Roberts was photographed seeking comfort in Peters' arms in New Orleans.
According to the report, Roberts was arrested for domestic violence after someone heard a dispute coming from their room and called authorities. Canadian police allegedly discovered her American Horror Story star boyfriend, 26, with a bloody nose and a bite mark.

But in a blue eyelet button-down top, khakis and white sneakers, Aniston looks more like a soccer mom than anything else.

I've added HD caps of Tuesday night's season premiere of Rizzoli & Isles, episode A New Day. How did you all enjoy the season premiere?
Rizzoli & Isles > Season 5 > Screencaps > 5×01 – A New Day
Below is the description of Rizzoli & Isles, second episode of the fifth season, titled, Goodbye. This episode will be airing on Tuesday, June 24, at 9PM eastern time. I've also added three high quality stills of this episode into the gallery. Enjoy!
A woman walks into the station covered in blood, carrying a gun, and saying she killed someone. Unfortunately, the trauma of what she did caused her to forget who she is or who the victim is. The team tries to unravel this bizarre case as they deal with the loss of close friend and colleague, Det. Barry Frost.

Angie Harmon will be on the Today Show on NBC on June 17, 2014 at 9am EST time!
(9-10 a.m.) Angie Harmon on Rizolli and Isles.Tricks of the trade school: Fitness certifications. What's hot in health.
Agie Harmon is in full confession mode when it comes to her online obsession. "I have an unnatural addiction to Pinterest," she reveals. "I love recipes and home design, and the creativity out there is so inspirational. All of a sudden an hour has gone by!" When she's not pinning up new ideas, Harmon, 41, puts on her detective badge for Rizzoli & Isles, returning for its fifth season on TNT June 17. She films in L.A. but makes her home in Charlotte, N.C., with her husband, former NFL cornerback Jason Sehorn, and their daughters, ages 10, 8, and 5. "One of my happiest moments is seeing my girls play dress up in Mommy's closet," she tells Erin Hill.
PARADE What do you love most about playing Jane Rizzoli?
It's fun to play a tomboy with no reference for fashion. She's the opposite of me; I'm a fairly girly girl.
So you enjoy getting glammed up for the red carpet?
Absolutely! It's one of my favorite parts of the job. I also have three little girls, so I can justify any expense because it's an investment! I look at fashion the way an art collector considers art, and I have quite an impressive collection. We basically gutted the master bedroom and turned it into my closet.
What are your memories of your modeling career in the early 1990s?
I had a fabulous time. Well, I wasn't loving it when I was in a bikini and heels on an iceberg, but I look back with a big smile. The fashion world seems like such a business now, and you hope [the models] are having as much fun as we did. Back then, there weren't paparazzi who would get you falling out of a car if you had too much to drink. The consequences weren't as steep.
Is it true that David Hasselhoff helped you transition from model to actress?
It is! He discovered me on a plane and offered me a role on Baywatch Nights, but I said, "No, thank you," because I'd never had an acting lesson. Oddly enough, my friend who was with me went on an audition for him two weeks later and he said, "You were with that girl!" That's where it all started; the opportunity came back, and I will always be thankful to David for believing in me.
What's your perfect Sunday?
In North Carolina we go to church, but I don't really have a church in L.A. so these days we get up, put on our swimsuits, and hang out by the pool. It's very restful. We have Sunday night dinner with friends and their kids and some of the cast. I just got this fabulous outdoor dining table that lights on fire down the middle. I just love that I've got people around that table every Sunday.
Your husband played for the New York Giants and now does commentary for college games. Is football big around the house?
It's on all the time. I love it because I'm from Texas and just the sound of it in the background is fantastic. It triggers memories of home and great smells. Football season is a family- and friend-centered time for me. My middle daughter loves to go out and throw the football around with her dad.
Jason proposed to you on The Tonight Show in 2000. Have you shown that clip to your daughters?
I don't think they have seen it, but they're just now getting to the age where they would get it. For a long time I didn't tell the girls what I did for a living; they found out through school. I'm very self-conscious about the whole "Hi, look at me, I'm on TV!" thing, but it was an incredible moment. I should show it to them—that's a good idea!

MANCHESTER, Conn. (April 2, 2009) Unbeaten in 16 pro fights, 22-year-old Matt Sharp Shooter Remillard, the reigning WBC Youth and USNBC featherweight champion, is spreading his wings and expanding his base starting tonight (Thursday, April 2). Remillard (16-0, 8 KOs), representing Manchester, Connecticut, traveled outside of New England to fight for the first time as a pro for this evenings 8-round bout against Jesus Perez at Michaels Eight Avenue in Glen Burnie, Maryland..
Last year, Remillard won all five of his fights, capturing the WBC Youth and USNBC featherweight title belts in the process, as well as being named the NABF and Connecticut Fighter of the Year.
Im happy to be fighting in the ring for the first time this year and I plan on getting off to a good start, Remillard said. Im not a club fighter anymore and Im trying to prove myself by traveling around. The toughest competition is on the West Coast and Ill be moving around a lot to fight this year. Right now, though, I have to fight a tough guy who is coming to fight. This is a step in the right direction. The Baltimore area is out of New England, where Ive had all of my pro fights to this point.
The multi-tattooed Remillard is coming off of arguably his most impressive win by 6-round decision against 3-time world champion (34-9-2) Maurico Pastrana last November. Sharp Shooter can box or crack, pending the opponent. It depends on what mood Im in and what my opponent brings, Remillard explained his style. Im a boxer-puncher. I love to mix it up but people are surprised to see how well I box, too. I can scrap, box, do it all and Im going to prove that nationally by moving around for fights. Pastrana had lost his last two to world champions; I moved into another league beating him. I boxed very well and really used my jab effectively I stayed calm and did what I was trained to do for that fight.
WBC No. 23 rated Remillard, also ranked No. 4 by the USBA and NABF, fully understands the opportunities ahead of him. The featherweight division is one of the most loaded and deep in boxing, Matt concluded. Anywhere from 122 (pounds) to 135 is action packed. A lot of fighters are moving up or down to win world titles and I feel that Ill be able to do that, too.
Danny Garcia Back in Action April 11 in Las Vegas
Philadelphia's undefeated Jr. Welterweight prospect, Danny "Swift" Garcia (11-0, 7 KO's), makes his way back to the ring April 11, 2009 on the Winky Wright vs Paul Williams card set to take place at the Mandaly Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas NV. Garcia will square off against Puerto Rico's Edwin Algarin in an eight round bout.
"I'm getting great experience and I'm improving on my skills as a fighter every time I step in the ring." said Garcia. "I've learned a lot in my last few fights as I've been getting solid rounds. I'm happy with the way career is being handled and I look forward to another great show."
Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and managed by Shelly Finkel, Garcia, who recently turned 21 on March 20th, is one of boxing's rising young stars. For more information on Danny Garcia visit www.shellyfinkel.com or www.goldenboypromotions.com.

It depends on what's going on for each of us that day. Most days, we text off and on all day.
I have a long commute, so I call DH when I leave work. We catch up on each others' day and decide what he's making for dinner. It's nice because I'm often away from home for 12 hours, and since we go to bed early, I'm sometimes
