What can The Simpsons teach us about stats algorithms? Glad you asked...
Re: So... what's the options, then?
You could do multilevel modelling as a solution. Multilevel modelling is, in general, a solution to when subjects are clustered, like when you want to explore the effects of spending on student performance. Typically you would run a regression, however in this case, if you have multiple schools, the spending levels are not independent observations: they are correlated with each school and that typically inflates the wald test results, which makes smaller p-values.
Code-busters lift RSA keys simply by listening to the noises a computer makes
I think it is worth pointing out that while 2.x does include blinding schemes to avoid side channel leakage, as of http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2013q4/000337.html so does gpg 1.4.16, which was added following private contact by one of the researchers.
As for those wondering why it was left out, previously local LAN attacks allowed sidechannel leakage to exploit this but there was no other vector known until this paper. However gpg 1.x isn't designed for such purposes therefore it was left out. Doesn't mean someone did not deploy it incorrectly, but gpg has always been rather conservative.

Re: Still a problem for non-techies
1) A perfect one-time pad gives perfect and unbreakable security.
2) Key sizes are ridiculously short for no reason. They should be in MB, not KB for anything important
3) PKI is badly broken, Key sizes are too small, algorithms are suspect, there are no trustworthy CAs, etc, etc.
4) The weakest link in even well designed systems is the entropy source used for the generation of keys, nonces, salts, etc. </blockquote>
1. OTP is the only perfect security. However, key management is an unsolvable problem as of yet. Once I've exhausted the one terabit key file I sent you, we need to re-exchange again, with no efficient way other than trusted courier. Furthermore, the benefit of asymmetric encryption is that I don't need to know you before hand: All I need to have is your public key. However, OTP (and any other pure symmetric encryption process) all fail the bootstrapping problem with respect to trust and key exchange. With respect to other symmetric options, we would need to exchange a password before we could ever communicate electronically.
2. MB (or Mb) sized keys would be ridiculously inefficient, and provide no improved security over the standard 256 bits of security we want now. Focusing first on asymmetric encryption: RSA's security to efficiency ratio peaks at 3072 bit key size, which is ~115 bits of security. After that, the gains are minimal compared to the massive increase in the size of the key. Elliptic curve cryptography is the next stop, with a much cleaner conversions between asymmetric key size and symmetric key security, 512 bit ECC = 256 bit symmetric.
SInce encryption strength is typically evaluated in terms of symmetric keys, we can now assume that all complexities are functions of symmetric bit size. Now we get into physical limits of the universe, and something called Landauer's principle (this is an excellent overview of the details: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/6141/amount-of-simple-operations-that-is-safely-out-of-reach-for-all-humanity). Basically though, it states that 128 bits of security will be broken in 2040, which practically translates into 2050 being the year your key is broken, given that we consume the entire planet's energy resources, which was consumed in a decade, starting in 2040. There's some unrealistic assumptions in there that make this an unrealistic best guess with respect to the timeframe.
Now, the other concern to this is that there is an efficient algorithmic break that drastically reduces the key space to evaluate. Of course, if this is true, then any size key using the same algorithm, will be susceptible, and thus no gain.
4. Technically, salts do not need to be random, or even unique. They just are appended to existing passphrasses avoid rainbow table cracking. These are no longer an acceptable practice, thanks to GPU hashing. Much better would be to utilise something like bcrypt, scrypt or PBKDF2, which are not designed to be computationally cheap. That said, I agree that entropy is a failure point, and we need multiple independent sources, mixed together, to counteract suspicions like those about Intel's chip flaws.

Re: Tells us more
What you're largely referring to is clincal psychology, a field that doesn't have any claim to science, and which has a pretty active history of ignoring glaring flaws in favour of their ad hoc 'expertise'. Look up the 1954 book by Paul Meehl, or the 2000 meta-analysis which confirms that. Unlike the rest of the field, clinical psychology hasn't really moved on beyond Freud
Re: WTF?
<quote>"Associations were examined using χ2 tests of independence with φ and Cramer's V as effect size measures and eta or Pearson's correlation. Group differences were tested using analysis of covariance, with partial η2 as effect size measure. A priori contrasts were tested using α = 0.01 to correct for multiple testing; for all other tests we used α = 0.05, two tailed."</quote>
Effect size measures are the expected differences you would find, given the p values expressed. In other words, it's a projected value of what the 'effect' of the difference would be. Phi and Cramer's V are correlations between nominal/categorical values, since pearon's correlations doesn't work for things like categorical crosstabs. Without getting the paper, they did something like numbers of males/femals who have/haven't been admitted to a psychiatric ward, or any other form of group membership. ANCOVA(analysis of covariance) is just t tables for multiple groups, with some expected differences controlled for (removed). For example, there may be systemic differences between different genders at two different college campuses, and I want to pose the question: do women graduate more often then men do, regardless of family income levels. You control for SES (previously measured) and find out if there are still differences, or if the gender differences are actually the result of SES differences.
The alpha level choice is a bit weird, because the language seems to indicate that they chose it regardless of the tests they ran, but it would have been much easier to use either the Bonferroni or Sidak methods of correcting. Essentially, when you do multiple group testing, you can accidentally deflate the p values, and receive significant differences where non exist.
Two tailed just means they looked at confidence intervals around the top and bottom of the distribution, rather than assigning the CI to one side or the other; standard practice, since the distribution is assumed to be gaussian. Oh, and the partial bit just means the correlations after controlling for differences.

Health minister warns ISPs: Block suicide websites or face regulation
Re: Actually...
Look up social proof and the woether effect (aka copycat suicide). I'm not advocating censorship, but there is a huge correlation between media coverage and suicide rate upticks. In the context of social proof, people identify with other people and are then more likely to copy their behaviour (no shit right?). Anyway, what group is more likely to be identified with than the PR managed image of celebrities, who are designed to resonate with target demos. One offs themselves and a huge chain of fans follow. This deserves better, but I'm typing on a phone, so I'll call it an end. Again, not calling for censorship, but a little less media sensationalism.

Smutty books strip Harry Potter of Amazon crown
Re: They're shite.
The reminds me of an economics study published back in the spring. It looked at the Oprah Book Club sales and found some interesting conclusions. First and foremost, significantly less books were sold because of Oprah. It turns out that those who watch Oprah read at an average level of 3rd grade, coincidentally what the craze of bodice rippers have been for the last forever or so. It also turned out that the Oprah books were significantly longer than the usual tripe and three grade levels harder (6th). So what they ended up with was longer and harder (COMPARATIVELY mind you. I agree 6th grade reading isn't exactly something worth breaking out the OED over) books that consequently meant less books were read. Worth a read,

Crypto boffins: RSA tokens can be cracked in 13 MINUTES
Re: May be a dumb question but
The amount of security you gain by increasing the key size decreases rather quickly, especially when performance is factored in. Or at least that's the traditional model/assumption. There was an interesting thread on the openGPG mailing list last month, subject ="Some people say longer keys are silly. I think they should be supported by gpg."
The OP was a nut, but it did result in some useful chatter. The main issue though is that under powered(mobile) hardware can't handle huge keysizes without creating an equally huge latency. That said, I run 4096 RSA keys on my phone without an depreciable lag, but many of the older OpenGPG members disagree.
However, NSA current guidelines establish that once you go beyond 4096 bit security (actually I think it's 3072 bit) a better option is to switch to Elliptic Curve Crypto. That is far more efficient in terms of size. Normally security is scaled in X bits of symmetric cipher, and ECC 512 bit is = to 256 bit security; ECC-256 is 128 bit security. On the other hand, RSA 4096 is somewhat like 142 bits. Doubling that to RSA 8192 only ups the security to 194 bits. That's a huge increase in keysize (overhead) for very little security. So it's half that nobody will ever need more than 64 kb of ram, and the rest is that you cannot predict a break in a cipher system that means your security is not worthwhile, and the lag you introduced may present timing attacks, and useless overhead.
Something like TWIRL cuts off 11 bits of security off of anything involving number factoring, and obviously quantum computers would shred through any RSA cipher.
Finally a use for quantum computers: Finding LOL-cats faster
Re: Don't panic!
Thank you, saved me a rant. However, symmetric key sizes are effectively halved, so that 2**256 retains the effective strength of 2**128. Also, ECC is vulnerable to an adapted version of shor's algorithm. There are several QC secure algorithms, with homomorphic encryption being first off my mind.

Finders of lost mobes can't resist staring at privates
Couple of things
There is, admittedly, a smidge of alcohol behind this overview, but anyway:
1. Yes,the percentages make no sense whatsoever.
2. I desperately wish to look at the indivudual data for the latency between discovery of phone and access attempt. x_bar=10.2 but the median is 59 minutes? Who waited forever? Stnd. deviation would be far more useful.
3. Point number two leads into this one: the data supposedly dropped off for all but a few after seven days.....which smartphone lasted for 7 freakin days? Seriously. I can get maybe 20 hours if I'm good on my phone. I guess they could have installed extended batteries, but still. 7 days with continuous or near continuous gps fixes?
4. Again, on that note, did any of the phones die before being accessed? At least two of them disappeared completely. Another 5% (again with the weird percentages) were moved but not accessed.
Wouldn't a more interesting study be leaving 50 phones with some sort of pin code enabled, and then look at people do with those. After all, what IT policy would allow a phone to not be secured and encrypted. Look at how many people are actually interested in getting into these devices when the bar is set a little higher. As opposed to empiracle evidence that human curiousity is a bad thing for secrets. Pandora's Box, Garden of Eden parables anyone?
Interesting though, the project head's original research was in looking at the same concept, dealing with usb sticks. Stuxnet anyone? Or the blinkin obvious.
Heyhey! Maybe the annoying percentages are due to the fact that 47 devices were reported upon in some cases, not 50. No, guess not.
And what is this about "Note that on most smartphones, there is not an easily accessible file system as there is on personal computers. So, document type files less commonly appear on the home screens of most smartphones. Therefore, the majority of the icons on the devices leveraged for this study represented apps that initiate a program on the device"
Each version of android I've played with has had a file manager, and it's not like it's difficult to access adobe and have it pull up accessed files. Who honestly thinks someone keeps HR-UBERSECRET.pdf on their homescreen.

Salting is good, but where would you keep the salt? Either it would be encrypted on the phone (and thus either having the decryption key on the phone, or the person keys it in which would make it easier to just have a longer password.) A network connection is tricky because losing a connection leaves you out, plus it's rather roundabout. And you're screwed if the server dies.

text: IRS Hearing: Dems Call No Liberal Groups as Witnesses Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 4 Jun 2013 post a comment More: IRS Scandal At Monday's Appropriations hearing on the IRS scandal, OH Democrat Rep. Marcy Kaptur grilled Inspector General George about whether liberal groups were also singled out for special scrutiny. She inferred, because a large number of groups didn't have "tea party," "patriot" or "9/12" in their name, that many liberal and progressive groups were also likely targeted. Okay, so where are they at Tuesday's Ways and Means hearing with victims? The minority party has the power to call witnesses at all committee hearings. The majority party generally gets to call more witnesses and schedule in what order they testify, but the minority still has the right to bring forward witnesses. If liberal groups were targeted by the IRS, wouldn't Tuesday's hearing be a perfect opportunity to tell their stories? The media would embrace the opportunity to complicate the hitherto simple narrative of the IRS scandal. So, why no testimony from liberal victims of the IRS? There aren't any. Its been almost a month since news of the IRS targeting broke. That is more than sufficient time for a liberal group to come forward and say, "you know what, the same thing happened to us." The left has every incentive to identify such victims, as it would shift the focus away from the political motivations behind the targeting. Instead, Democrats like Kaptur infer and imply. What they can't do is produce an actual victim. Tuesday's hearing confirms that only conservatives were targeted.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, Rep. Steve King, and state Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey will lead a group of industry executives Friday in an event aimed at defending the current levels of ethanol and biodiesel in the nation's fuel supply.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposes to reduce by almost three billion gallons the amounts of biofuels blended into gasoline in 2014 than the law requires. The oil industry lobbied hard for the reduction. Biofuel supporters threaten to sue the government over the proposal.
Branstad will gather with others at an ethanol plant in Nevada, Iowa to defend current policy. He says the reduction negatively impacts thousands of jobs in Iowa, the leading ethanol producer and top grower of corn, which is used to make about 95 percent of the nation's ethanol.

Burn It Down Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold
Review The Song (39)
Jealousy's an ugly word, but you don't seem to care
Converse behind my back, but now I'm here
Need no one to comply with me though everyone that I defeat
Dont need you, fuck camaraderie, this rage will never go away
Hatred fuels my blood
I'll burn you down (You can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fail
I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone (See it in my eyes)
Now I can understand
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Whoa, yeah!
You're on my back when the water gets too deep for you to breathe
A crutch for you that won't always be there
Hide in the dark another day, the fear in you is here to stay
So keep the fuck away from me and learn to trust the words I say
Hatred fuels my blood
I'll burn you down (You can't help me)
One king to watch the horsemen fail
I'll fight 'til the end (I won't help you)
I can't trust anyone (Witness and see it in my eyes)
(Chorus vocalizing)
Now I can understand
Put faith in you for the last time
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Ha! Yeah, yeah!
Run from me before I tear you down (Be afraid)
You chose the wrong side (It feels so right)
I won't help you, let you rot away (Despise what you say - Chorus vocalizing)
Run towards the light exposing your soul (We won't be there by your side - Chorus vocalizing)
Salvation's dying (Somebody's crying)
We're all gone in the end (Chorus vocalizing)
Sweet child we'll miss you
Whoa, so far away, far away
I can't trust anyone (Witness and see it in my eyes - Chorus vocalizing)
Now I can understand (Put faith in you for the last time)
It's sorrow that feeds your lies
Falling away
Can't buy back time
Burn it down anyway

Star Wars | Reviewer: Mezmerus | 9/8/11
I'm the only one who thinks this song is about Star Wars II, III and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
Like "Hatred fuels my blood/I'll burn you down" is Anakin on a rage after his mother died and "One king to watch the horsemen fail... I won't help you, let you rot away" is when Obi-Wan defeats Anakin and so on. Anyone agree whit me?

Can you all just get over who's better and who's not! SERIOUSLY! Just enjoy the damn song! Reguardless if you like Avenged Sevenfold or not, They're an awesome band, with awesome lyrics. I'm a huge fan, but I like tool too. It's not something to argue about, its an opinion, opinion's are like assholes, everyone has one, you don't like it, don't comment, or don't read it, just please for the love of god shut up about it!
Too complicated! | Reviewer: Courtney | 9/20/10
Wow, way to complicate it dude. I don't listen to music to think of big words, i listen to music because of the way it sounds, the way it makes me feel. Stop cutting a song into bits of rhythm and listen to the whole thing.
HOLIC | Reviewer: CONSTANTINE FINATA | 6/25/10
Did you know all,avenged sevenfold its to much skill,,,
rather than you all,so,dont talk much about them,,,
all of A7X songs,there are vry nice to a listen..creative,and innovative.synster,mathewshadow,johnychrist,zacky,and specialy of the rev,there are a charismatic in the world of music.
Well, musically... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/10
Drums are not the only instruments in a song. Different rhythms from all instruments, when used properly, can enhance the quality of a song. However, how did Pachelbell's Canon in D become so popular if it's a repeated 8-chord pattern? There is more to a song than rhythm, and depending on the mood the song is trying to create, the rhythm doesn't necessarily need to vary. With Avenged Sevenfold's style, the solo is actually worse than the guitar line in the backdrop of the interlude preceding it. Out of five, I'd give this song a 2.5 for ingenuity. For a well-constructed, Beethoven level composition, listen to "Almost Easy". Note that the syncopation in the chorus is actually in the same time signature.
Tool vs. A7X? | Reviewer: anon | 3/24/10
On the whole Tool vs. A7X thing, why does everyone think a good song must consist of good solos and differing beats? And Tool does not have the same beat repeated... BOth Tool and A7X are my favorrite bands, as well as Muse. Who says one can't enjoy variety?
Burn It Down | Reviewer: Michelle | 2/18/10
I love this song so much, it has much meaning to it. So people please listen. We are suppose to REVIEW about the song, not about a7x vs. tool. Mkay? Now please get on with life and just focus on great music that you are listening to!
Tool? | Reviewer: Allie | 1/16/10
Oh please? Tool sucks major ass, dude. I hate their twelve minute long songs about nothing, at least Avenged Sevenfold has beat & lyrics that you can get into. The only song I like by Tool is Schism, I'm sure that's everyone's favorite song by them, because it's mass played and the only song I can understand. Avenged Sevenfold has vocals, great guitar solos; all Tool has is a reoccurring beat the entire song, and words that don't cohere to each other in the least. Sorry for ripping on your music, Toolfans, but we all have our opinions.
Burn it D0wn | Reviewer: Jord | 8/22/09
I like A7X more than tool, this is merely because of my individual taste in music not because of one outdoing the other. last time I checked music wasn't a contest but more of a gateway into the soul or some other metaphorical bull shit like that. I don't its right to think of any music as better then anyone elses simply because it cannot be proven to be. Just because a song is dynamic or has a faster beat doesn't mean a slower song is worse. noob.
Tool vs. A7x | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/15/09
Anyone who thinks A7x is better than Tool is sorely mistaken. I have the utmost respect for A7x's music; however they're lacking in a lot of areas, the first that comes to my mind is dynamic variability, the second being meaningful lyrics. And they sound terrible when they slow down. Tool just belongs to a different tier of musical quality.

Glenn Beck has apparently realized that for years he's been one of the most politically polarizing figures in the nation.
This week Beck has admitted although he regrets the way that some of his incendiary opinions have caused division in the country over the last several years, he's still right about them.
It was his tone, not his content, that he sometimes regrets he says.
Claiming that he wasn't aware his his comments like President Barack Obama having 'a deep-seated hatred for white people' could have ended with people 'at each other's throats,' Beck said he was puzzled by activists who go on to organize boycotts of people who say things they disagree with.
Beck's show on Fox News Channel finally ended in 2011 after an advertiser boycott inspired by his eye-popping but as yet unsubstantiated racial comments.
'For any role that I have played in dividing, I wish I can take them back,' Beck, 49, said this week. 'I don't wish I could take back the truth that was spoken but perhaps — not perhaps — many times I could have said it differently.'
Although he sounded regretful Beck failed to offer any particular incidents.
According to ABC News, Beck is hoping to persuade cable and satellite operators to begin telecasting TheBlaze, his homegrown online opinion and entertainment network, started after he left Fox News.
Angelo Carusone, a vice president at the liberal media advocacy group Media Matters, said Beck's non-apology didn't surprise him.
'Beck's entire history is a series of booms, busts and rebirths,' he said. Beck needs to repair his brand in business circles to support his ventures and the cable distribution, Carusone said.
'Brand repair doesn't happen immediately. It's a process. Beck knows that. This soft contrition seemed like an attempt to advance that slow process. I'm not sure this will be effective, though, given that his approach hasn't really changed.'

Wind surfer and pelicans~SkyWatch Friday~032814
No, actually this was just a flock of pelicans who were flying right above the coastline. There were other flocks behind them. It was so amazing just to watch them fly by! We saw many, many flocks of pelicans that morning.

Flip this capital eclipse
Tha vocal tone has got 'em sweatin' their own apocalypse
Yes, rebel of tha grains stand masterless
Tha masked ones cap one
NAFTA comin' with tha new disaster
And yes we in wit tha wind an tha plan de Ayala kin
Are comin' back around again
Tha slave driver saliva, one night power turns
Them devils mouths dry, now Mexico burns
So here they come one by one them killers of the new frontier
Occupy, causin' fear, come on
Wit the wind below
We in wit the wind below
Wit the wind below
Flip this capital eclipse
Them bury life wit IMF shifts, and poison lips
Yo they talk it, while slicin' our veins yo so mark it
From the FINCAS overseers, to them vultures playin' markets
She ain't got nothin' but weapon and shawl
She is Chol, Tzotzil, Tojolobal, Tzeltal
The tools are her tools, Ejidos and ovaries
She once strangled, now through a barrel she breathes
She is the wind below
The wind below
She is the wind below
And all the shareholders gonna flex, and try ta annex the truth
While the new trust is gonna flex, and cast their image in you
Yeah all the shareholders gonna flex, and try ta annex the truth
And while the new trust tries ta flex, and cast their image in you
And GE is gonna flex and try and annex the truth
And NBC is gonna flex and cast their image in you
And Disney bought the fantasies and piles of eyes
And ABC's new thrill rides of trials and lies
And while the gut eaters strain to pull the mud from their mouths
They force our ears to go deaf to the screams in the south
But we in wit the wind below!

Has any one out there had any experience with any of the Spikes buffers that are full of the tungsten powder as opposed to weights? I am wondering whether they are worth the cash and if they live up to the claims of less felt recoil and quieter operation.

Place holder - more on this later. Short answer, in theory they work. Accuracy on subsequent shots will suffer....
Not willing to sacrifice acuracy. However, keep in mind this is a rfile that is single loaded ninety percent of the time. With the bolt constantly being locked back, while that diminish some of the effects of using this buffer?
I installed one on my 16" M&P
Definitely a huge improvement over the carbine buffer it came with. Most 16" carbines are way over gassed and could use a H or H2 buffer to slow the carrier down.
The spikes has been great, got improved ejection pattern, a lot less twang sound from the tube and vibration after each shot that would carry up through the sights. Made follow up shots faster and less movement in the sights made it more accurate. Will be curious to hear JD's opinion on less accuracy since I experience the opposite effect.
Perhaps he is from the school that likes light weight internals for faster cycling and the feel of the recoil that gives, I know a few friends that prefer that feel.
I prefer the less violent feel the slower/heavier buffer gives and plan to swap out my AR carrier for a heavier m16 carrier and see if it improves even more.
Very smooth impulse just a thump and the sights hardly move.
Maybe a regular H or H2 would give similar results, but I'm extremely pleased with the ST-T2
______________________________________________ Hellfire, Doom, Watch the hatred spin
Beyond the speed of sound---
Fire it up, Let the engines roll
It's time to burn it down
I have three of them and didnt notice a change in accuracy in any of the rifles they were in. In fact I experienced greater accuracy and faster follow-up shots due to smoother cycleing. Add a nice comp and you're in business. But then again I dont shoot from a bench.
Well considering I am at odds with two well known and members I personally respect on this issue, I figured I would post again to bump this up instead of updating my previous post.
This theory isn't new technology. It's based on an idea that was popular way back when called a Mercury Vial.
Used to be back in the day when someone had a Cape Rifle or a Big Bore Elephant gun and wanted to tame some of that recoil, they had a gunsmith drill a nice quarter size hole in the wooden stock and insert a metal tube about 8" or 10" long filled about 80% with liquid mercury.
As you all know mercury is a heavy liquid, so when you touch that big weapon off, all that liquid sloshes forward and then immediately backward to help offset that heavy recoil. Problem was it didn't settle down in time for a follow up shop, it was still in motion, even after a semi auto ejected the round.
Now the physics of the buffer tube is that it compresses your buffer spring to cycle the weapon & help ease recoil. The spring, in turn, forces the buffer forward again to force the BCG to strip the next round off the mag and back into battery.
In this sense the "tungsten powder" is in motion much like in a mercury vial. Like when some settling might occur during shipment? Well, some settling is going to occur a lot of the time that buffer gets slammed backwards and forwards.
In a rapid fire, follow up shot, your rifle has not settled down like it should have when the buffer spring locked the BCG back into battery.
Now if you shoot, take the time to re-acquire your target and shoot again - basically from a "rest" for the motion of the rifle, you won't experience an accuracy problem. A heavier rifle SHOULD actually be more accurate.
But I always approach any weapon platform with what MY idea of accuracy is and that is based on my experience with long guns of all types. In that regard, I want less motion versus more motion. I want the most stable platform to launch a round as possible.
So let me ask you this just as "food for thought".
The idea behind this Tactical Buffer is basically that it is a bit heavier, but is filled with loose material. Why?
Why not spec out the exact weight needed for, say, a mid length 5.56mm rifle? One buffer tube for that configuration and machine it out of one piece of stock?
What are your thoughts on why that isn't happening?
I have to side with JD on this issue, and that is a very interesting explanation of how the powder filled ST-T2 could have adverse effects on accuracy. I had never considered that before but it makes sense.
There is another reason to avoid the ST-T2 that I have read about too. Standard AR buffers have individual weights that are designed to "hammer" the carrier forward at the precise instant that it wants to bounce back as a new round is chambered with authority. There are high speed videos illustrating carrier bounce and the ST-T2 and 9mm buffers don't do nearly as good a job dampening carrier bounce as a good H or H2 buffer. I'll look for that video and try to get it posted tonight.
Carrier bounce is much more important in full auto fire but even in SA that's running dry, dirty or has too much friction the bolt could end up a hair OOB requriing a push of the forward assist.
Regular AR buffers have weighted discs in them that move just like the mercury or powder filled versions(just shake one). The powder seems to stop dead, much softer than the rattle and vibration of the discs in a regular buffer.
Doing some quick research on why AR buffers were designed to have movable weights. I guess thats for the softening effect you(JD) described and maybe when the buffer stops and the weights continue it helps eliminate bolt bounce when returning to battery(at least thats one thing I read).
I'm sure in my case I gained more advantage on an over-gassed carbine by simply increasing the weight of the buffer than from the actual fill material, May have to pick up a H2 or H3 to compare if the fill itself is actually helping as well unless someone else has already.
I agree the 9mm and carbine weight buffers seemed to be the worst. I think you're right that the 9mm doesn't have individual weights or slugs. Very interesting video anyway, wish there was more...

WASHINGTON -- It's not even July, but that's not stopping mega-retailer Wal-Mart from thinking about its Christmas sales.
On Wednesday, the company held an event for more than 100 magazine and gift guide editors about what it expects its top sellers to be this holiday season.
The event was the first of its kind, says Advertising Age, which notes that although Wal-Mart has held preview events, they have never been private.
Not surprisingly, Disney's hit musical "Frozen" will be the theme of many popular gifts this year. Wal-Mart is preparing for Frozen fever with Elsa dolls by Jakks and Mattell, decorative cookie kits by Disney as well as bedding, lamps and lip gloss, according to Advertising Age.
"There's going to be a stress level about 'Frozen' this holiday season," Ginny Rothschild, vice president of Wal-Mart's U.S. bed and bath operations, told Advertising Age. "We're going to have it. We've got it in so many different categories."
Katniss wannabes will have their pick of the litter when it comes to bow-and- arrows. The lead character from the "Hunger Games" made the equipment popular and the chain is stocking brands from Nerf and Zing to meet the need, Advertising Age reports.
Celebrities' lines are expected to be big sellers this year, the publication reports. Wal-Mart is at the ready with Drew Barrymore's Flower cosmetic bags as well as cookware from Guy Fieri and Rachel Ray.

UnitedHealth Branch Launches Web Portal
Monday saw the launch of a new Web portal designed to give consumers easy access to health information and allow them to save their electronic personal health records.
Sound familiar? It should. The new site, myOptumHealth.com provides services similar to those provided by WebMD, Everyday Health, and Google—but with one major difference: OptumHealth is the health and wellness arm of UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest providers of health benefits, with a customer base of more than 60 million.
"We believe we can package those solutions into direct-to-consumer subscription services that consumers will want to buy directly from us," said Scott Heimes, senior vice president of consumer solutions at OptumHealth. "That's why we launched a consumer health portal, and we will add e-commerce transactions to [it] in 2009." The general site, however, is free of charge. Additional features are available for registered users, but signing up only takes a few minutes.
The consumer health site offers information pages from content providers as well as the site's in-house editorial team, including thousands of videos and articles—all organized in fairly easy-to-navigate categories. A search engine, courtesy of Healthline Networks, targets health information, weeding out non-medical content. The company also offers symptom, drug, and treatment searches as well as a BMI calculator.
Vertical Search, Targeted Ads
The search tool can also contextually target ads on any site within the network. For example, a migraine advertiser can choose to have its ads appear only on pages with migraine content, not general headache content.
The site currently offers advertising opportunities for pharmaceutical companies; the home page currently carries ads for Seroquel and Humira that lead users to branded sites for the drugs.
Health Records: Under Construction
"We are in the early stages of adoption of personal health records," he said. "But use is growing rapidly, and as more physicians and health plans make it possible to share heath and medical data in an automatic way, it will create a more robust market and stronger demand for PHRs."
The big question is: Are there too many online health networks? The social network scene has recently seen backlash against a surplus of options, with people no longer interested in keeping Myspace, Facebook, and Friendster accounts. Could the health industry see a similar reaction?
"The thing that separates us is that this is our business," Heimes told Pharm Exec. "We already serve 61 million consumers with health and wellness solutions, and we have hundreds of thousands of partners in the space that are part of our team. We are directing that level of expertise to the business of providing solutions to consumers."

But the post is not afterwards visible.
OK, so it's possible the blogger just zaps my post :-(, but it there another explanation?]]>
And, have you considered using a Google Group for this?
People using Marpa::R2 have one called marpa-parser, and it works marvellously.
I think such a group could have a geographic basis (or should that be geographic-busting basis :-) just like it can have any other basis.]]>
I'm amazed how simple and clean this all looks.
Mojolicious Rocks! && Perl Rocks!.]]>
Looks good.
For ignore_source_control, I would have called it preserve_cvs_files or preserve_source_control or some such.
Also, I would capture STDOUT with Capture::Tiny, and just echo it verbatim.
All tests (523) for my Marpa-based modules passed after installing PPI 1.217_01.]]>
My question remains: What does 'WebService' add to the mix?
I suspect people are more likely to search MetaCPAN for Yelp than WebService. So, I see no reason to use WebService, let alone prefer it. I.e. what does it offer? All you've said above is that it exists.
I'd go for WWW::*.
For a moment I wondered about WWW::Service::* or WWW::Business::*, but of course if you're accessing a site via the internet, the WWW is redundant, so even Business::* might fit.]]>
See that great module Data::Dumper::Concise for how this was done for that other great module Data::Dumper.
You might thereby make Data::Printer more approachable, although after your installation saga, I have my doubts :-(.]]>

Perhaps someone has taken over the work.]]>
For each of my 8 modules which use Marpa::R2, I do:
local $CWD = $dir_name;
($stdout, $stderr) = capture{system 'prove', 't'};
Then I parse the output with:
if ($line =~ /^Files=.+Tests=(\d+),/)
Looking for a line like:
Files=3, Tests=88, 2 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr 0.02 sys + 2.15 cusr 0.04 csys = 2.25 CPU)
And no, this is not the problem :-).
The first module, Graph::Easy::Marpa, works. It does not use Test::Version. All its tests use Test::More.
The second module, GraphVaz2::Marpa, fails. It uses Test::Version. All its tests use Test::More, except of course t/version.t, which uses Test::More and Test::Version.
Googling suggested Test::Pretty was involved. As I say, I don't use it (knowingly).
Time passes....
I've eliminated t/version.t and Test::Version from the 2 (out of the 8) modules which used it.
I'm re-running the bulk test code now.
Waiting, waiting.....
Marpa::R2 V 2.085008
Counts: Tests: 14. Modules: 8. Passes: 8. Fails: 0
Duration: 1 minute and 37 seconds
(The note 'Tests: 14' completely mis-represents the total # of tests run. That's the number of t/*.t files all up. There are actually hundreds of tests).
Helmut Wollmersdorfer: Congratulations. I'm deeply grateful for your advice.
Please take the rest of the day off - and tell your boss I said it was OK!
GraphViz2::Marpa: Start ... # $Test::Builder::Level is invalid. Testing library you are using is broken. : 2 at /home/ron/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.18.2/lib/site_perl/5.18.2/Test/Version.pm line 134.
Googling didn't help.
I've run cpanm on a range of modules:
o Test::Pretty
o Test::More
o Test::Version
o Test::Exception
o TryCatch
Any ideas?

|Lesley Schatzberger (clarinet), Fitzwilliam String Quartet
|Dame Thea King (clarinet), Gabrieli String Quartet
Why do so many masterpieces end with variations? On the face of it, variation form is static, with its continual covering of the same trace. Richard Mühlfeld, the clarinettist who inspired Brahms's Quintet and to whom it was dedicated in 1891, could well have wondered if a variation-finale would be designed to show off his skill in decorative virtuosity. Knowing his Brahms, however, and knowing the Mozart Quintet, he could not have entertained this 'hope' for long. The static nature of variation can, of course, generate very deliberate, large motion—the grand procession from one variation to another, or from one group to another, to create an edifice dramatically striking in itself, rather than developing the internal active drama of sonata movement. In a work where the earlier movements display sonata-type activity, an antithesis of this kind may in some circumstances help to canalize all the previous energies.
Variations are more likely to succeed in this than, say, fugue, which is argumentatively static and therefore not easily made apt to a process hitherto based on muscular dramatic action; a fugue may very well serve to expand on the slow momentum generated by a set of variations (as towards the end of the 'Diabelli' Variations) or it may wonderfully create a plane of contemplative thought from which action is to grow (as in Beethoven's C sharp minor Quartet), but its appearance following a long period of dramatic activity will, unless a drastic stroke of genius is invoked (as in Beethoven's late B flat Quartet, Op 130, with its original finale, the Grosse Fuge), likely produce an unfortunate situation as if the builders of a house had suddenly ceased work to argue the point. With variations as finale we get the sense that these builders have almost finished the structure and are moving around it in a series of viewpoints (offered by a number of variations on a theme) so as to know how to complete the work.
Variations may begin the whole work on a quiet plane, or they may provide a period of repose among more active elements. As finale, a set of variations is liable to be pressed into a wider variety of uses. Essentially it may be a high plateau, reached after a climb or a variegated journey; or we might at length find ourselves strolling in gentle country after breathless adventures; or we may in the end be staring at something at once active and static, fulminating majestically like a volcano or the finale of Brahms's fourth symphony. In all such cases, calm or blazing, the variation-finale is a last steadying or canalizing of the work's energies. In Brahms's Clarinet Quintet the variation-finale distils the substances of the elegiac work in various ways, and we end with the impression of something ineradicable. When the first movement theme comes back at the end, a circle seems to have been completed.
The broad, spacious, richly eventful first movement is Brahms's last very large sonata structure; the remaining two that followed (the clarinet sonatas, also for Mühlfeld) are on a smaller scale, and Brahms thereafter concentrated on small forms of great density. In this nobly expansive quintet the clarinet is nowhere treated as a soloist, except where its sound is essential to the aural canvas; this is a real quintet throughout.
The principle of equality applies in all the movements, and the only place where the clarinet is given free rein is in the centre of the otherwise rapt Adagio, where the intense ruminative beauty is abruptly broken into by wildly evocative clarinet flourishes reminiscent of the gipsy music Brahms loved so much.
The underlying melancholy of much of the Quintet is relieved by the gentle third movement, where contrasting tempi are merged or superimposed in a way recalling the corresponding movement in the second symphony. Its quiet close sensitively makes way in mood (and rhythm) for the theme of the great variation-finale.

Eight months ago, Chattanooga City Council members rejected an out-of-town developer's plan to build a 260-apartment complex in East Brainerd after neighbors complained it would add to Gunbarrel Road's congestion.
That wasn't the last time Chattanooga officials halted development projects because of infrastructure concerns and clashes in community priorities.
Officials say there is a disconnect among the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency's 25-year comprehensive plan for the region and what neighborhoods, public officials and planners have envisioned. There also have been major land development and growth since the plan was adopted in 2005.
In response, planning officials are asking the City Council today to approve the beginning stages of a two-year study to solve how to combine transportation and zoning with land-use plans to promote regional growth.
"We need to be doing the best job we can to look at both pictures," said Melissa Taylor, the planning agency's Strategic Long-Range Planning Division director. "It's a tough thing to wrestle with."
The project, called Growing Forward, will include three phases that will start with asking the public to identify trends in decision-making on land use. The project will end with a list of recommendations for updated policies and codes.
One of the goals is for officials to be able to prioritize community needs, Taylor said.
Chattanooga and Hamilton County now have a 2030 comprehensive plan that is the guide for policy making for goals, projects and actions on zoning requests and development proposals.
In contrast, there are now about 44 planning policy documents that exist in the county to guide land use decision-making within specific pockets of the community. More than half of those plans are in Chattanooga city limits, and include neighborhood plans in East Chattanooga, St. Elmo and Orchard Knob and city-wide plans for parks and future sidewalks. Some neighborhood plans date back to 2004, and none are interconnected.
Officials, then, make decisions about investments without full understanding of the impact on the greater community.
Councilman Chip Henderson said problems usually arise when developers make zoning requests and officials try to understand how the commercial or residential project will affect the area. When officials ask about the plans for the area, they are often told that information is outdated and doesn't reflect the current layout of the region.
"It gets frustrating for us," Henderson said.
Today the City Council also will review a request from retired Baylor School coach Schaack Van Deusen to erect a plaque in honor of a leader in the women's suffrage movement in Tennessee.
Van Deusen has asked for permission to install the plaque across from the Hamilton County Courthouse in honor of Abby Crawford Milton.
"This is way overdue," said Van Deusen, who is the first cousin of Milton. "She was such an important figure in Chattanooga. This was the best way we could figure out how to honor her."

Celebrating Feminism
Living in country of Pakistan the land of four seasons and unique fruit is not less than a blessing. But when it comes to women and the condition of women in Pakistan, it's not wrong to say that its one of the most dangerous country for women. Every third women in Pakistan once in her life time was subjected to domestic violence. As we see this side of women where women are helpless and living miserable life. There is another side as well which we do not encourage that is the side where women celebrating what they are thus celebrating feminism. Each of the women in these photographs has a story to tell. The story of real super heroes "The Sheroes". Starting from the

This picture tells about a young girl taking part in a debating competition. She is not afraid to face the society and confidently delivering her speech with the body actions expressing strength and courage.
Smile is my makeup (The second picture)
A small girl from slum community in Pakistan dressed up in warm cloths giving a flawless smile to the camera. She doesn't care of what she has not but she cares that she has this moment to live without the fear of future. She is happy to see the camera and she is welcoming it with a smile of a princess.
Fearless World of dreams (The Third Picture)
A young girl of small community filling air in the balloon. She is giving her al power to fill the air in that balloon which is the only toy available to her. Looking at her passion and energy it makes me think that why can't we be like her? We give up so easily on things when we have so many resources present and in her case she has nothing much but she is giving her best to what she has.
Not Afraid (The Fourth Picture)
A girl holding mobile phone in her hand and ready to face the cold and male dominant society of Pakistan without any fear

Natasha a human right activist, women activist and a courageous girl from the land of Malala Yousafzai. She was born and raised in the valley of SWAT which is considered the most dangerous place for girls. She stood up for girl's education. She is a proud daughter and a fearless leader. Leading girls towards success.
The Afghan Mona Lisa (The Ninth Picture)
This picture is my favorite of all. An Afghan refuge girl wearing "Dupata" a shawl on her head looking straight into camera with a unique eye color. Her face shows the hardships she must have faced in such a little age.
Every penny counts (The Tenth Picture)
A small girl in a down town market of the capital city of Pakistan is selling shoes and dealing with the customer. Her contribution towards her family's economy can help her little brother and sisters to sleep with full stomach at night. She has the sense of responsibility at such a young age. Her every penny is a hope towards a better future for her family.
The strength these women have shown is not less than the soldiers of battle fields. Showing the strong side of women encourages other women to be like them. To stand up and face the challenges. Do not hide beside the people who claims to protect you but in reality suppress you. Let them know that we have a free soul, a free mind and a free body.

INDIANAPOLIS – Colts starting running back Vick Ballard will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Coach Chuck Pagano said Friday that Ballard was hurt making a cut in practice Thursday.
It was a non-contact injury, just put a foot in the ground, went to cut on a running play and knee went out on him, Pagano said. He'll require season-ending surgery, unfortunately. We feel awful for Vick.
Former New York Giants star Ahmad Bradshaw is expected to start Sunday against Miami, and the Colts (1-0) are promoting rookie Kerwynn Williams, their seventh-round draft pick, from the practice squad to the active roster. Former first-round pick Donald Brown also could see more action.
Ballard was Indy's top rusher in 2012. The rookie ran for 814 yards and two touchdowns. Last week, Ballard ran 13 times for 63 yards and was 6 for 6 on blitz pickups.
Tight end Dwayne Allen missed practice again with a hip injury, but Pagano said he was probable for Sunday's game against Miami. Linebacker Pat Angerer (concussion) was a full participant at practice for the third consecutive day.
Linebackers Kavell Conner (ankle) and Jerrell Freeman (quad) did limited work and are listed as questionable. Linebacker Erik Walden (hamstring) returned to full work after being limited Thursday. Walden also is listed as questionable. Receiver David Reed (concussion/quad) did not practice and has been ruled out for Sunday's game.
Colts replace railing
The railing that collapsed at Lucas Oil Stadium last weekend was replaced, and stadium officials said every nut and bolt securing a railing inside the stadium was inspected to ensure a safer environment.
Barney Levengood, the executive director of the stadium, said that the investigation into last week's accident during the Colts-Raiders game is continuing. Witnesses said two fans were injured when a railing they were leaning against gave way. The two fans tumbled onto the hard walkway that leads to the visiting locker room.
Around the league
Tampa Bay safety Dashon Goldson was fined $30,000 for hitting New York Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland in the head and neck area.
Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David was docked $7,875 for unnecessary roughness when he shoved Jets quarterback Geno Smith to the ground out of bounds – leading to the winning field goal by New York.
Jets safety Dawan Landry was fined $21,000 for unnecessary roughness.
Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews was fined $15,000 for a late hit on San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick during the season opener. Denver cornerback Champ Bailey (left foot sprain) will miss his second straight game.

I am sure we all agreed that this has been a very bad experience and has not been handled in the way everybody might have liked or thought best but essentially the Webroot platform was no longer a supported option ad embc had no choice but to migrate. With hiondsight it might have been better to begin with a clean implementation but for the best of reasons it was decided to try and migrate rules, ironically to try and minimise disruption.
Schools are being added gradually to try and prevent other issues. Try getting your LAs support in being added to the early adopters.

The Effects of Transit Time and Intensity Differentials Upon Recreating Acoustic Fields
The importance of transit time and intensity differentials in the sounds picked up by microphones and reproduced by loudspeakers is discussed. The relationship of sources and microphones, as well as loudspeakers and a listener is discussed and graphic examples are presented. Much of the difficulty encountered in attempting to recreate an acoustic field can be traced to the fact that the acoustic pressure varies with the square of the distance, while the transit time for an acoustic wave is a linear function of distance.

System 32 file folder display
If you are running a computer with Home Premium, and you have one primary hard drive, you will get the system 32 file folder display. Premium is not seeing another backup device on your computer. You have to add an external OR internal additional hard drive. Also, what I tried to do was backup to one of my network servers in my home, and it did not like that as Home Premium will NOT allow network backup locations. You must upgrade (thanks Microsoft) to at least Windows 7 Professional for another $89. So you have two options, buy a terrabite for $100 bucks or less, or upgrade and use another server on your network as your back up device. It would be nice if Microsoft would pop a display up telling us this rather than spending hours on the phone with people who do not know it either.
