Chemistry resolves toxic concerns about carbon nanotubes
In a new study, published Tuesday 15th January in the journal Angewandte Chemie, evidence is provided that the asbestos-like reactivity and pathogenicity reported for long, pristine nanotubes can be completely alleviated if their surface is modified and their effective length is reduced as a result of chemical treatment.
First atomically described in the 1990s, carbon nanotubes are sheets of carbon atoms rolled up into hollow tubes just a few nanometres in diameter. Engineered carbon nanotubes can be chemically modified, with the addition of chemotherapeutic drugs, fluorescent tags or nucleic acids opening up applications in cancer and gene therapy.
Furthermore, these chemically modified carbon nanotubes can pierce the cell membrane, acting as a kind of nano-needle, allowing the possibility of efficient transport of therapeutic and diagnostic agents directly into the cytoplasm of cells.
Among their downsides however, have been concerns about their safety profile. One of the most serious concerns, highlighted in 2008, involves the carcinogenic risk from the exposure and persistence of such fibres in the body. Some studies indicate that when long untreated carbon nanotubes are injected to the abdominal cavity of mice they can induce unwanted responses resembling those associated with exposure to certain asbestos fibres.
In this paper, the authors describe two different reactions which ask if any chemical modification can render the nanotubes non-toxic. They conclude that not all chemical treatments alleviate the toxicity risks associated with the material. Only those reactions that are able to render carbon nanotubes short and stably suspended in biological fluids without aggregation are able to result in safe, risk-free material.
Professor Kostas Kostarelos, Chair of Nanomedicine at the UCL School of Pharmacy who led the research with his long term collaborators Doctor Alberto Bianco of the CNRS in Strasbourg, France and Professor Maurizio Prato of the University of Trieste, Italy, said: The apparent structural similarity between carbon nanotubes and asbestos fibres has generated serious concerns about their safety profile and has resulted in many unreasonable proposals of a halt in the use of these materials even in well-controlled and strictly regulated applications, such as biomedical ones. What we show for the first time is that in order to design risk-free carbon nanotubes both chemical treatment and shortening are needed.
He added: Creative strategies to identify the characteristics that nanoparticles should possess in order to be rendered safe-for-use, and the ways to achieve that, are essential as nanotechnology and its tools are maturing into applications and becoming part of our everyday lives.

Get ready to be nostalgic for Restoration Hardware. The retailer that once scarily commodified the products of an entire generation's youth as it grew through the '80s and '90s is reinventing itself to forget about the nostalgia and pay more attention to high-end furniture, the Associated Press reports.
The rebrand will include simplifying the name of the place to RH. "RH enhances our identity and moves us beyond our hardware store beginnings," CEO Carlos Alberini said in a statement. "It enables us to leverage our core capabilities of innovation, curation and integration of new ideas and businesses."
This is the next step for a chain that has been changing since Stephen Gordon launched it in 1980 and severed ties in 2005, through to when Sears acquired a stake in 2007 and the company was sold back in 2008 to a private-equity firm.Continue reading...

It's also good to have outbound protection - as 3D Jed said, by default the Windows Firewall doesn't filter outbound connections. You can enable outbound protection but it's not flexible at all - it's either allow everything or block everything (you can add exceptions but you have to do this for basically every program)
I'd recommend the Windows Firewall Notifier, it basically just adds on to the Windows Firewall and automatically adds the rules for you.

My 2 cents worth perhaps incorrect if so please correct
If i can download a file from the internet with a firewall no problem why wouldn't me clicking the download button on one thing and it turn into something COMPLETELY different completely counteract all your security and firewall protection?
Also i have router firewall pc firewall and all this other stuff and the viruses still find a way in my machine no problem
My old xp witch i found better to turn off firewall dosent seem to get infected anymore than my seven with firewall protection...... probably due to router firewall.
Just personal opinion i havent been to impressed with all this security stuff so far all it has done is slow down my pc :P
Malwarebytes on the other hand it is great wouldn't have a pc without it those other antivirus people should take advice from thoses guys.
Malwarbytes has never slowed down my machine NEVER conflicts with other programs and almost ALWAYS fixes the problem......when it doesn't i usually reformat

Do you have Malwarebytes Real-Time Protection? I recommend it for those prone to infection, aside Microsoft Security Essentials
|My System Specs

You're the first one I've known to mention it :P
I always hear people recommending MalwareBytes as a separate backup layer of protection, but I never hear anyone recommending the real time protection; I mean, if its detection rate is so great, why does no one use the real time protection?
|My System Specs
|09 Jan 2013
Are you the spokesMad for everyone?
First off it's not an AV but protection instead against malware which is a grey area so it goes alongside your AV. SuperAntiSpyware is the modern third choice for all-around protection.
I also only use the Malwarebytes scanner personally and on my installs. However about the fifth time someone gets infected I install the trial version for them and urge them to buy it and none have ever gotten infected again. It's more aggressive than MSE in every way.
But we're not here to sell it or any other program, only report what works best for Win7 which is what makes this site the top tech site on the web. I learned a long time ago that the ratings are always rigged, usually with an ad for one of the contestants on the same page.

'Big Brother': Jessie's second round of nominations| July 25, 2009 at 12:33 AM EST
The third nomination ceremony has finally been held tonight in the "Big Brother" house. Check it out after the jump to see who HOH Jessie nominated.
Jessie has nominated Michele and Jordan?
I mean, as I said earlier today, it looks like Ronnie is back in Jessie's pocket. AGAIN. But even if Ronnie isn't the target, there aren't better people to nominated? Like Chima and Casey, who I see as way bigger threats than Braindead Jordan and Invisible Michele.
Maybe somebody can explain to me why it's these two. They might be pawns for Ronnie, but… I just don't think so. Weird.

4 Responses to "'Big Brother': Jessie's second round of nominations"
Breaking up Jeff and Jordan gets rid of one vote that doesnt go Jesse's way. Michelle may be lowkey(understatement) but she is a thinker. I dont think she is as controllable as the rest (as far as votes go). Maybe a good strategy on jessies part but casey is a burr under jessies saddle. Also uncontrollable vote wise. Casey, if he wins pov, could prove to be the shining light for the good guys.
I hope and pray that Casey wins POV and takes Jordan off and puts up Natalie. She has to go as she thinks she is all set with Jesse.
I would like to see Natalie go but it won't happen if the Athletes keep winning… Jessie CAN'T put her up…

Although Microsoft touts Vista as its most secure operating system ever and is relying on security as a prime marketing message to corporations, the Yankee Group's Andrew Jaquith sees it as somewhat of an albatross.

Fla. Supreme Court hears convicted killer's second appeal
Ten years ago this past Saturday, the kidnapping of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia was captured on a car wash security camera.
Carlie's convicted killer, Joseph Smith, had his appeal heard Wednesday by the Florida Supreme Court, and the appeal was as unusual as the murder 10 years ago.
The Florida Supreme Court heard Smith's second appeal. His lawyer argued Smith should have been allowed to question jurors to see if they did something improper.
Even the battle-tested justices were surprised.
The hearing lasted just half of the allotted time, also unheard of in death appeals.
Afterwards, attorney Robert Strain said the legs of any appeal were cut from under him when Smith led police to Carlie's body before ever being indicted.
Smith's lawyer is banking on coming federal appeal, in which he'll argue he ought to be allowed to cross-examine the chemist who analyzed Smith's DNA.
"If a DNA expert testifies in court about the lab tests, he has to be the one who conducted the lab tests, not some supervisor reading it," said Strain. "So it's a complicated case."
The court sent a clear signal it wasn't buying Smith's arguments, which moves Smith one step closer to his execution.
Smith's attorney did raise five other issues in briefs filed with the court. All contend the death penalty is unconstitutional because of jury instructions, lethal injection procedures or it violates an inmate's rights. All have been previously dismissed by the court.

Newly Single Adrian Rebounds With Beach and Bikinis
Adrian Grenier was back at the beach in LA yesterday, and this time he had a whole entourage of ladies to keep him company on the sand and surf. After seeing his girlfriend Isabel Lucas hanging out with Shia again this week, it wasn't a big shock to hear that she and Adrian called it quits shortly after the car accident a few weeks ago. Between Adrian's big smile and his posse of bikini-clad women, somehow we don't think he's too broken up about the split.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - The Mexican army says it has found the largest marijuana plantation ever detected in Mexico.
The army says the marijuana fields covers almost 300 acres (120 hectares) in Baja California state.
The plantation is four times as large as the marijuana fields found at a ranch in northern Chihuahua state in 1984.
More recently, authorities found a 153-acre (62-hectare) plantation in southern Oaxaca state.
Soldiers destroy such fields by cutting down and burning the plants.
The Defense Department said Thursday that the huge field was found by soldiers during a patrol on Tuesday. The department did not specify where the fields were found, but said journalists would be taken to view it.

What is the true value of ALSC membership? The benefits of membership are tangible and intangible. ALSC offers discounts on professional development, a free subscription to an award-winning journal, and others. But becoming a member, you are also supporting the mission of the organization. Consider the value of ALSC membership.
Although ALSC has four different types of membership categories, all members enjoy these benefits:
Access to resources that strengthen libraries
- A subscription to Children and Libraries: The Journal of the Association for Library Service to Children, a quarterly publication, delivered in print and digitally, that provides continuing education for librarians working with children and showcases current scholarly research and practice in library service to children and significant activities and programs of the association.
- Apply for $100k annually in awards, scholarships and grants available only to ALSC members
- 10% discount on professional products including ALSC books on awards, best practices and innovative programming ideas
- Travel scholarships for special events such as the National Institute and ALSC preconferences
- Access to the ALSC Annual Report, which highlights all of the important actions and activities from the previous year
- ALSC's Everyday Advocacy website and the Everyday Advocacy Matters newsletter, designed to nurture and support all advocates of library service to children and librarians serving youth
Professional development opportunities that transform careers

- 10% discount on webinars that present new, interesting ideas in a convenient and affordable manner
- Pre-conferences, conferences, and ALSC's National Institute are all great places to advance your knowledge base and build leadership skills
- Free access to student sessions, quarterly webinars held with a special focus on student and early career advice/issues
- Periodic free webinars and webcasts presented by ALSC committees and the Friends of ALSC
Networking with individuals all across the country to create ideas and solve problems
- Connection to approximately 60k ALA members via ALA Connect, ALA's online member network
- Access to ALSC Community Forums, held via Adobe Connect, which bring members together to discuss important issues in children's library service
- Access to monthly #alscchat Twitter discussions hosted by the ALSC Children & Technology Committee where members explore new developments in children's library service
- Joining members across the country in giving back to the profession through the ALSC Mentoring Program
- News, contest, and regular posts from the ALSC Blog on topics relating to children's library service
Hear from real members about how ALSC membership impacts their lives and why they think you should join:
- "Being in ALSC and on award committees and the Children & Libraries Editorial Advisory Committee has enriched my work life and my resume and my general enjoyment of life. Where else can you find people to discuss fingerplays, popular children's literature, and programming...and be just as excited about all of them as you are?"
- "ALSC membership connects me with a cadre of the most committed and industrious children's librarians in the country, giving me direct access to the best ideas, practices, and friendships imaginable.Participation in ALSC business is a great way to pick up expertise in the field, working with experts on important and engaging projects. Even more, ALSC participation is a wonderful way to build general professional skills, like planning a project, running a meeting, or meeting a deadline. Learning those sorts of skill in the context of books and kids and information is both gratifying and useful."
- "It is nice to have "friends" that I can go to about problems, program ideas, or collaboration. When you are a part of ALSC, you have a full set of people and recourses at your fingertips. You are never struggling on your own; ALSC is always there to help."
- "It is an essential part of my professional development and networking."
- "Being an active ALSC members means that I have a built in base of thousands of like-minded people who are passionate about making connections between young people and libraries."
- "Joining and being involved with ALSC is a chance to meet with some of the greatest minds in the field and to expand your horizons above and beyond what you do on a day-to-day basis. Involvement with ALSC will result in the most professional activity you will have in your career."
- "Working in a library is the best job around, but it can sometimes be isolating. The size and location of most libraries in the U.S. make it difficult to network with professionals from around the country. ALSC provides a number of ways to interact with other librarians through conference attendance, online classes, and social networks."
- "I like being able to be involved virtually, even when I can't travel to the ALA conferences. I still can work with others and help to make libraries a better place. There are always surprises in every job. Being part of ALSC means that I have a whole set of people who have already dealt with or have ideas on how to deal with the challenges that come with working in libraries."
- "It has provided wonderful opportunities to serve on a variety of committees including the Newbery and to get ideas for programs or how to solve problems from other professionals. Sharing information be it about books, programs, or patrons."
- "I joined ALA & ALSC because I saw other people I respected were members but I didn't understand how to get involved. Being part of a professional volunteer organization, especially one the size of ALA, was all new to me. Soon I was lucky to get a call from the Nominating Committee and before I knew it, I was on the Newbery Committee. I continue to be motivated to stay involved by the gratitude I feel to an organization that has provided me with so many opportunities to learn and grow."
- "The best part about being an ALSC member is that there has been something for me at every stage of my career. When I was a brand new librarian, there was a scholarship opportunity for attending my first conference. Service on the same committee that facilitated that award let to an opportunity to chair the committee. Now that I've past the ten year mark as a librarian, ALSC continues to offer new ways to develop professionally. I look forward to what the future holds."
- "ALSC is a crucial line on any children's librarian's resume. ALSC provides focused resources for our area of the profession--the listserv can be a lifeline for new librarians; the website provides a wealth of information and tools; and Children and Libraries provides regular professional development. Of course, there is also the ALSC Newsletter, which gives you glimpses of what other libraries are doing. Membership in ALSC is a way in which professionals support the profession they are in--it all comes back to them."
Education & Professional Development
- "I joined ALSC to get the reduced admission to the Institute in 2008. I stayed a member because I've found so much support and so many great ideas from my fellow members."
- "I feel like I've grown quite a bit as a professional because of ALSC. It's not just the training opportunities--even though they've been wonderful--it's the fact that I have access to all kinds of experts in the fields of child development and library service. It's the connections I've formed with other members that's allowed me to learn and grow, and become a better librarian."
- "ALSC gives you the inside connection to all things related to children and libraries. There are so many different areas represented, and committees related to each. By making contacts with others interested in children's services, you open yourself to professional growth and new ideas that can help you better serve your own community."
- "I have been able to grow and expand what I do in my job and I have been able to maintain a sense of our profession in the larger world as a result of my involvement with ALSC."
- "Being a part of ALSC has afforded me tremendous opportunities for professional growth. ALSC members are smart, informed advocates for children and reading. Being in their company helps me be a better librarian!"
- "Do you consider yourself to be a professional? Then join your professional organization so you can take an active role in shaping the future of ALSC and librarianship."
- "It's the only way to become the best advocate for children, literacy and life-long learning for a library professional. You will benefit much more than you will realize just from being involved in library leadership."
- "I was a member of ALSC for many years while working in management for library wholesalers and during that time the contacts and information I gained through membership was valuable. Now that I work for myself I continue to value the contacts and information but I also get a level of professional involvement and growth that I wouldn't have otherwise. I have a greater understanding of the division's challenges and I appreciate being part of the solution by being a participant."

Dementia by the numbers
The cost to care for people with dementia outpaced costs associated with heart disease and cancer, according to a new study.
The total cost of dementia in the United States in 2010 ranged from $157 billion to $215 billion, compared to $102 billion for heart disease and $77 billion for cancer, according to the "Monetary Cost of Dementia" report by the RAND Corporation.
In 2010, an estimated 15 percent of the population had dementia. The annual cost per person was $56,290 or $41,689, depending on the method used to estimate costs associated with informal care, according to the study.
The costs associated with dementia were determined using study participants' reports on out-of-pocket expenses related to their illness, Medicare spending and formal and informal home care.
If the prevalence of dementia and its costs per person remain the same, the total cost of the disorder could more than double by 2040 because of an aging population, say the authors of the report.
It may be too soon to tell how this will affect insurance premiums in the long run, but we do know that life insurers are already starting to test for dementia. At Genworth, testing for cognitive impairment is standard for anyone who is age 70 and above. But other life insurance companies start testing at age 60, while still others wait until age 80. (See: "Is it crazy for life insurers to test for dementia?")
As for health insurance, under health reform, beginning next year, insurers will not be allowed to deny coverage or charge you a higher premium because of your gender or because you have an illness or health condition. (See: "Health reform sticks: Now what?')

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) Jim Furyk was penalized four strokes in the third round of The Barclays when he and caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowan left an extra club in the bag, a mistake that ended up costing Furyk $131,250 and 188 FedEx Cup points.
Furyk discovered the 15th club while preparing to play a shot near the second green Saturday and had to take two penalty strokes for each hole, turning his opening pars into double bogeys. He finished with a 70 in the rainy morning round, then shot a 69 on Sunday to tie for 15th at 3 under - six strokes behind winner Heath Slocum.
Without the penalty strokes, Furyk would have tied for sixth. He dropped from 16th to 18th in the FedEx Cup points race, finishing the event with 1,458.
The extra club was a 60-degree wedge with extra bounce, something Furyk thought he might need on shots into the grain from the many runoff areas around the greens. He decided to go with his usual low-bounce model with a sharp leading edge, but the other club was inadvertently left in the bag and went unnoticed - in part because he had the rain hood on his bag throughout the warmup session and on the course.
"It was a chain of events that added up to a stupid mistake," Furyk said. "I assumed he (Cowan) knew I was going to play this 60 and he didn't know which way I was going to go. ... It's one of the simplest rules in golf. It's so easy.
"I pride myself on being really prepared - and to do something like that. I think mental errors are much harder to overcome on the golf course than physical errors. The ones that you make because of an absent mind or not paying attention or not doing your homework, those are the ones that hurt the most because you can control that."
Furyk tried to put the error quickly behind him
"He (Cowan) was kicking himself," Furyk said. "I said, "Hey, I don't want to hear it. Let's just play golf and we'll figure it out.'
"We've been through too much together for a long, long time. He's been on my bag for over 10 years. He does what he does. He shows up on time. He's a good person and he's a good caddie. The last thing I want anyone to do is blame it on Mike. The fact that we both made the error is what surprises me. That's the shocker. I can see one person being a bonehead for 30 minutes, but two people is disappointing."
PLAYOFF POSITIONS: Daniel Chopra took the 100th and final spot in the Deutsche Bank Championship next weekend outside Boston, edging K.J. Choi by two points and Ben Curtis by three in the FedEx Cup standings.
Chopra shot a 1-over 72 on Sunday to tie for 58th and earn 53 points in the playoff opener at Liberty National. He also entered the tournament - limited to the top 125 - in the 100th spot.
Choi, 92nd after the regular season, and Curtis, 94th entering the event, missed the cut. Chris Riley, 119th at the start of the week, bogeyed the final hole - missing a 5-foot par putt - to finish five points behind Chopra.

Thanks for using Frenzy's Coding Tutorial online book, which was created for everyone to truley understand how things work with Toontown 'under the hood' you could say. The entire tutorial was created by Frenzy, so he'd like a little credit for this! All I say now, is enjoy the book, and I hope you understand everything I'm talking about. I'm trying to be as fluent with you, and explain things as well as I can. This is the first dedicated tutorial, by a real, good, coder for Toontown. This is not registered, and you can distribute this if you'd like. All I want is credit for what I do.
Hello, there. If you don't know me, my name is Frenzy. I am apart of Team FD, which as of the moment, is the best team out there in the Toontown land; My YouTube channel is http://youtube.com/user/frenzythehorse2011/ , check some of my videos out if you'd like. Anyway, now its time to get down to business. Toontown. Toontown was made in a language known as Panda3D, which was created in C++ (another programming language, created by the Microsoft Company); Panda3D is basically a 3D gaming engine that executes its scripts through another language known as Python. For now, think of Python as a more advanced Command Prompt system. Python was also created in C++; Panda3D injects scripts into the game process through Python classes, functions, and other modules. There isn't much to say about it, that's all there is to know about it. The main reason that Disney created the language was to create Toontown Online, which came out to be one of the most successful games in America (and other countries around the world as well), so, if it wasn't for Panda3D, or Python, Toontown might not be here today. Imagine that.
It's time for a little history lesson, Toons. Have you learned your hacking history? Just in case, this is to let you get alot of those questions out of your minds. First, I will say, all of the Toontown Injectors and exploits for Toontown and whatnot, are all basically just Python Clients; Meaning, they're in-game Python extensions, which hook to the Toontown process (or any other game that is Python-based), and allows us to tamper with the Toontown code. Lucky for us, we wouldn't have even thought that this would be possible until someone known as Maverick came up with the idea. Maverick (also known as mmavipc, which is his YouTube channel) created the first ever Python exploit for Toontown. The Toontown Injector. The exploit was created on February 13th, 2010; However, I am not sure when it got leaked to everyone, but I do know that it was leaked on to a Toontown forum known as the Toontown News forum, but was taken down shortley afterwards by the owner of the website. All you need to know is, basically, all of these Python exploits for games such as Toontown that use Python to execute scripts are just custom 'Python extensions' you could say. Not really a hack, but more of just an extension, but I suppose you could see it both ways, since the application's weren't produced by the publisher of the game(s).
Now, we're going to discuss how using Python functions will benefit you in finding codes. In this article, we'll discuss 'print dir', a function used by the common people, but do people really know how to use it? No. Most people just say they do, but they don't know why to use it. Basically, Toontown has a bunch of folders for each task they need to preform during the game to keep it working. These tasks are stored in folders, basically like 'toontown\toon\DistributedToon.py', etc., but they are frozen for only modules that are hooked to the main application can access them. That's where the exploits come in, and help us with tampering. Anyhow, to view the directories you use this like so: 'print dir(toontown)', and you also need to remember to use 'import toontown' before printing it, otherwise you'll get an error. Then, to view the folders inside of 'toontown\', you open your current *.log file, and scroll all the way to the bottom. Eventually, you'll see a list that looks somewhat like this: ['toon', 'distributed', 'char'], and other words such as that. That's where you put the next part of the directory on to the previous function, which should still be 'print dir(toontown)', now, you use a '.' as a split, like how '/' is a split normally for folders; '.' is a split, but for Python only. Now, what you do is add a '.' to the function I previously said, and then one of the words in the directory that you had just printed. Here's an example: 'print dir(toontown.toon)', which would print all the files in that directory, 'toontown\toon'. Then, a list will appear similar to the last one, with more words. Here's an example: 'print dir(toontown.toon.DistributedToon)', once you get to an object that has 'Distributed', or is in all capital letters, it is a *.py object, and is readable (meaning you can use the function 'print help' on it now); That's all for 'print dir', though.
Now that you understand the 'print dir' function, and how it helps you... lets get on to 'print help'. What happens when you hit a certain object, and all you get when printing it is a bunch of objects that have things such as '__init__' inside of them? Is there nothing left to print? What are the arguments to the code? That's where print help comes in. If you get something like that where there are functions such as '__init__' inside of it, change 'dir' to 'help'. This will then show it's argument names, which are easy to guess; but there are no ways on how to get them, you have to guess, or use 'base.cr.wantUpdateCalls = True' and see if you can get the arguments through every-day Toontown life, using that. The first argument in all objects is 'self', which is something known as a 'NoneType', or null, meaning zero. It's not needed. Meaning, you leave it as nothing, don't even add it into your code. It's just a default class argument, used inside that class. Other arguments, such as 'avId', 'toonId', or 'doId' would be your localAvatar's ID, which is 'localAvatar.doId'; 'doId' stands for 'Distributed Object ID', which is what your Toon is; A distributed object. Other arguments such as 'zoneId', 'shardId', and anything in between are easy to fill in. However, some arguments, such as 'ts', you might not understand. These arguments are abbrieviations; 'ts' stands for 'time stamp', which could be a random number. More advanced arguments are things such as 'di', which stands for 'datagram iterator', which is something that iterates, or times, a Python Datagram. These are more advanced, so if you'd like to know how to use them, I'd suggest contacting me on my AIM account, if you know it.
This is just a brief passage on a little secret on how to find server codes alot quicker than most people would think. Most people spend hours wasting time looking through directories that turn out to have client functions inside them. How do you tell that they're's any server functions inside of them? Look for any Python Object that has 'Distributed' inside of it's title. This means, as I said before, it is broadcasted to the entire server (meaning that every single Toon can see this object.); so, next time you start looking for something to do, don't waste time looking through shitloads of modules when you can search for ones that only have 'Distributed' located in its title. :-)
There are many ways you can tell Client modules (which are things that only appear to the client, you, and aren't broadcasted to the server, other Toons.). The easiest ways are to see if they have 'send' in their name, which means that the client sends something to the server; This is where datagrams get in here, but we'll wait a while to talk about them. For now, all you need to know is that datagram's are sent from the client, and recieved by the server. No questions about it. Otherwise, they'd have 'd_' in the function's name, which stands for D.C., or Distributed Classes. Distributed Classes are modules that are 'distributed' to the entire server, or given out and broadcasted to every single Toon in a district; Other ways you can tell, if you want to make sure, you can use the function 'print dis', which we'll talk about later, to disassemble the object's modules. If there is a 'sendUpdate' function inside of its modules, then it will be broadcasted to everyone in the local area (your zone, in your district.). Basically, the way things go with Toontown are there is a server. Then, it breaks down in sections, known as Districts (Toon Valley, Nutty River, etc.), then it breaks down to default Playground areas (Toontown Central, Sellbot HQ, etc.), and then it goes down to your custom, generated zone for special events, such as going into a Factory, or fighting the V.P., which is how they break down the game into sections. Think of each place as a seprate server, inside of the game. Anyways, I went a little off subject there, but you get my point. If the function doesn't have any of those qualities, then it isn't sent to the server; only to the client.
Hooking is a wonderful method to making Toontown automatically execute scripts that us Hacker's would use, but would seem like it's normal. Basically, what hooking does is takes our own, custom module and replaces the old module with our custom one. Things such as maybe 'localAvatar.setName = localAvatar.setScale', which we could then do something such as 'localAvatar.setName(2)', and that would change our Toon's scale. Pretty interesting, right? If you'd like automatic ones, then use the skills that I taught you in the 'print dir' section of this book. See if theres anything you'd see that'd be valuable to hook, if you want. Here is my example of an automatic hook: 'base.cr.doFindAll('HQ Officer')[0].handleCollisionSphereEnter = localAvatar.setX', which would set your Toon's X axis to '0', because the collision entry, the argument used with 'handleCollisionSphereEnter' is 'collEntry', which would be an integer. This would be automatic as soon as you'd enter the selected HQ Officer's collision sphere.
This function I am about to teach you, most people don't know what it does or how to use it. But, it is very benefitial when it comes to coding. This function, which is 'lambda *x:None', basically kills any function that you 'hook' it to, which was discussed with you earlier. Basically, if the server ever triggers the event that you hooked it to... it won't do anything. So lets say, you killed the task that is supposed to ban you when you do something like say 'shit' or something like that. You could just do 'localAvatar.sendLogSuspiciousEvent = lambda *x:None', and that would kill the function for getting banned in-game. That would be a small ban blocker, but it would only work with certain things. If you would want to make a more advanced one, you'd better look through some Client Repository modules, (base.cr). Anyhow, if you we're to use an invalid animation with that function killed... you wouldn't get banned. Although, nothing would happen when on that animation; you'd be standing there normally, so sorry if you believed that we had found a new disconnection code, but things don't work out always as planned.
The first thing I'll need to tell you is how to extract the Toontown phase files. First, you must have the 'Panda3D SDK 1.7.1' version of it installed on to your computer. Then, open up Command Prompt and go to your Toontown directory using the 'CD' function. Here is an example: 'CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Disney\Disney Online\ToontownOnline\', then, with Panda3D SDK 1.7.1 installed, type in 'multify -x -f phase_' and the phase file number, plus the extension type. Here is an example of this, as well: 'multify -x -f phase_3.5.mf', and then, to view the *.bam files, or the 3D models that are used in the game, you right click them and open up 'C:\Panda3D-1.7.1\Bin\PView.exe', as the default application to open this file extension, *.bam. Then, you can just pick and choose what modules you want from the phase files that you've extracted. To view the *.bam files now, just double click them and Panda3D will load the model. If they have a texture, it worked well, otherwise, if it's completely white, then you're out of luck. Make sure you use things correctly as well. The non-loadable *.bam files that show nothing but a plain, gray screen are animations for the object that it is parented to. Use the 'Actor' module, which I will not explain, because it has nothing to deal with regular Toontown hacking, and more with learning about Panda3D.
By now, you should have a basic understanding on how Toontown, and all other Python-based games work. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and I hope you understood everything. As I said before, I tried explaining this as thoroughly as I could. I hope this creates a few new coders out there in the Toontown world. :-)

Unable to Shutdown after installing Canon Pixma MG5370 apps and driver
Scenario first.
My system is a windows 7 x64. it is connected via LAN cable to my wifi router (also used for internet).
Prior to installing Canon Pixma MG5370 apps and driver, the windows works fine.
My Canon printer is connected via WIFI to my router so in essence, I print through my router to the printer.
No errors were encountered during the installation process..
After all these, I noted that my windows will not shutdown anymore.
After clicking shutdown, it will reach the screen where it shows "Shutting down"
and a spinning disc like icon. and this is where it will remain and not power off at all.
hard disk Led not blinking during this time.
I had to do a HARD FORCE shutdown.
anyone encountered this problem, and most importantly, found a way to bypass this problem?
short of having the need to system restore and everything?
Thank you..

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
First try doing a System Restore to a date/time before installing the printer.
Then to install the printer, I would suggest doing it manually:
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Click Add a printer.
In the Add Printer wizard, click Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.
In the list of available printers, select the one you want to use, and then click Next.
If prompted, install the printer driver on your computer by clicking Install driver. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click Finish.

thanks for your reply.. will go back and give it a shot..

ok, I got pretty fed up and all and did a fresh install..
Now only I noted it is not that the system aint shutting down, it just takes way longer than usual to shutdown.
and whats worse now is that, even with fresh installation, with virtually no driver installed yet, my system encounters random slowdown in both BOOT UP and SHUTDOWN time..
when everything is fine, they will shutdown or bootup in roughly 20 to 30 seconds.. when the slowdown occurs, it takes roughly a minute and a half or so to complete..
so now my question is, are there any way for me to log the boot up and shutdown events to see what made the slowdown and so forth?
Thank you..
p.s :- ok, so I figure that it is not my printer driver or software that is mucking things up for me..

Flash mob breaks out for Children's Miracle Network
Updated On: Nov 08 2011 08:51:22 PM EST
About 100 students occupied the student union at the University of North Florida on Tuesday afternoon, but it wasn't for a protest.
It was for a flash mob that broke out at exactly 12:10 p.m. Students filled the square with a choreographed four-minute dance as hundreds of other students looked on.
The students said they've been planning the flash mob since the summer. They did it to raise awareness for the Children's Miracle Network.
"We saw Ohio State's flash mob and we wanted to outdo it," the flash mob's organizer said. "We wanted to do it for a better purpose, so we did it for the kids."
The students also invited some local families who benefit from Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, but they didn't tell them about what they had up their sleeve. So the dance came as a complete surprise.
"It was great. It was exciting. It was exhilarating, and it was awesome to see all these young people get together for this purpose," said Kim Valle, who was there to support the Children's Miracle Network.

TUESDAY, July 8, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Combining two anti-smoking approaches -- the medication Chantix and nicotine patches -- improves the odds you'll quit smoking over the short term, a new industry-funded study suggests.
"The combination appears to be safe, although further studies are needed to confirm this," said Dr. Coenie Koegelenberg, an associate professor of pulmonology with Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Academic Hospital in South Africa.
Although the dual treatment costs more than either agent separately, Koegelenberg said the drugs typically aren't used for long and will reduce overall health costs if smokers succeed in quitting.
Chantix, known by the generic name varenicline, appears to help people stop smoking by interfering with the way that nicotine stimulates the brain.
However, smokers who take Chantix may be at higher risk for heart attacks and stroke compared to those who don't take it, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in 2012. But the increased risk is small and should be weighed against the risks of continuing to smoke, the agency said.
Nicotine patches deliver less nicotine -- the addictive element in cigarettes -- than smokers receive from cigarettes. This helps reduce withdrawal symptoms while trying to quit.
While the study found the combination treatment more effective than using nicotine patches alone, it's not a silver bullet. More than one-third of the 400-plus participants were still smoking six months after starting the dual treatment.
Combining Chantix and nicotine patches had been suggested before but it wasn't clear if this approach would be effective and safe.
The current study, published in the July 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, was funded by Pfizer and McNeil, makers of Chantix and nicotine patches.
Researchers randomly assigned 446 smokers -- mostly women -- to take Chantix and a nicotine patch or the patch with a placebo. Treatment continued for 14 weeks.
At 12 weeks, 55 percent of those who took both medications had continuously stopped smoking compared to 41 percent of those who got the placebo. After six months, the numbers were 49 percent and 33 percent, respectively.
In terms of side effects, the group getting both treatments reported more nausea, sleeplessness, skin reactions, constipation and depression than those using the patch alone. But the researchers said only skin reactions were statistically significant -- 14 percent in the double-treatment group versus 8 percent in the placebo group.
According to Pfizer, Chantix costs $1.53-$6.39 a day, depending on insurance. Nicotine patches average less than $4 a day, according to the National Cancer Institute. Insurance companies often cover anti-smoking medications.
It's not clear why the medications might work better together, Koegelenberg said, but it might have something to do with how they combine to disrupt the way the brain processes nicotine.
Dr. Michael Siegel, a professor with the department of community health sciences at Boston University School of Public Health, said the study is useful because smokers typically are treated with nicotine therapy (a patch or gum) or Chantix, not both.
"It provides some of the first information about the potential effectiveness of combining Chantix and nicotine replacement therapy," he said.
In the big picture, however, quitting smoking remains very difficult even with the help of medications. "Clearly, we need more effective treatment," he said.
Siegel cautioned against deciding to combine Chantix with patches or gum "based solely on this one study. But it is certainly worthy of further study," he added.
