Puppet Tutorial
Excellent write-up! I'm a Puppet consultant and have just published the first article in a Puppet tutorial series up to date with Puppet 0.25.0 and the 'best practices' module layout:
Puppet Tutorial: Powering Up With Puppet
I would love to hear from any Puppet / Linux beginners whether they found the article helpful or not, or if anyone has suggestions for how it might be improved.
Great write-up
I really like your organization. Puppet is a great tool. One more area for people to look into is the use of templates. They're a very powerfully addition to puppet, leveraging ruby's erb files.
Erb files probably get the greatest exposure in ruby on rails, but can prove to be a very powerful tool for system administrator in lending a hand to remove human error when managing the differences in configuration between different environments.
Speaking of environments, that's also great asset puppet provides and should be considered another area of interest for potential adopters of puppet to look into.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

United States Patent: 6,896,885
Issued: May 24, 2005
Inventors: Hanna; Nabil (Rancho Santa Fe, CA)
Assignee: Biogen Idec Inc. (San Diego, CA)
Appl. No.: 822672
Filed: April 2, 2001
The present invention discloses combined therapies for treating hematologic malignancies, including B cell lymphomas and leukemias or solid non-hematologic tumors, comprising administration of anti-cytokine antibodies or antagonists to inhibit the activity of cytokines which play a role in perpetuating the activation of B cells. The administration of such antibodies and antagonists, particularly anti-IL10 antibodies and antagonists, is particularly useful for avoiding or decreasing the resistance of hematologic malignant cells or solid tumor cells to chemotherapeutic agents and anti-CD20 or anti-CD22 antibodies. The invention also provides combination therapies for solid tumors having B cell involvement comprising the administration of an anti-cytokine antibody and a B cell depleting antibody such as RITUXAN® (rituximab).
Description of the Invention
The present invention concerns methods for treating hematologic
malignancies including B cell lymphomas and leukemias with anti-cytokine
agents such as antibodies and antagonists, where the targeted cytokines play
a potentiating role in the disease process by stimulating hematologic
malignant cells including B lymphoma and leukemia cells. Treatment with
anti-cytokine agents in combination with other known therapies such as
chemotherapy and administration of therapeutic antibodies has been found to
provide a synergistic effect.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method of avoiding,
decreasing or overcoming the resistance of hematologic malignant cells or
solid non-hematologic tumor cells to at least one chemotherapeutic agent,
comprising administering an anti-cytokine antibody or cytokine antagonist to
a patient diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy prior, concurrent or after
administration of at least one chemotherapeutic agent.
A description follows as to exemplary techniques for the production of
the antibody antagonists used in accordance with the present invention.
Substantial modifications in the biological properties of the antagonist are accomplished by selecting substitutions that differ significantly in their effect on maintaining (a) the structure of the polypeptide backbone in the area of the substitution, for example, as a sheet or helical conformation, (b) the charge or hydrophobicity of the molecule at the target site, or (c) the bulk of the side chain. Naturally occurring residues are divided into groups based on common side-chain properties:
Non-conservative substitutions will entail exchanging a member of one of
these classes for another class.
Claim 1 of 29 Claims
1. A method of treating B cell lymphoma in a patient in need of such
treatment which method includes the administration of anti-IL10 antibody
and at least one B cell depleting antibody.

William Lance Mccuddy Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on January 15, 2009, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, WILLIAM LANCE McCUDDY, a 31-year-old resident of Great Falls, appeared for sentencing. McCUDDY was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 36 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Restitution: $568.33
- Supervised Release: 3 years
McCUDDY was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to being a felon-in-possession of a firearm.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
In 2001, McCUDDY was convicted of felony sex with a minor in California. As a result of this conviction, McCUDDY is prohibited from possessing firearms.
On January 21, 2008, deputies with the Cascade County Sheriff's Office responded to the Black Eagle Community Center to investigate a burglar alarm. They found a broken window and discovered someone had entered the Community Center and taken a rifle that was prominently displayed and was the prize in a fund-raising raffle. Officers discovered blood and it appeared that the burglar had injured himself on entry. Officers also found a piece of a broken jack handle that appeared to have been used to break the window.
An female individual called police dispatch and stated that a man named McCUDDY had been at her home and gotten in a fight with a male individual about a stolen rifle. The caller and the male individual said McCUDDY took them to his apartment and showed them the stolen rifle. It was later learned that McCUDDY lives at the apartment with his girlfriend.
McCUDDY and his girlfriend were found a short time later and because McCUDDY'S girlfriend was on probation, a probation search of her apartment was conducted. During the probation search, officers found the missing rifle. McCUDDY was questioned and admitted he broke the window of the Community Center with a jack handle, cut himself and then stole the rifle. McCUDDY said a portion of the jack handle broke off and he left it at the scene. A piece of jack handle matching the piece at the scene was also found in the apartment.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that McCUDDY will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, McCUDDY does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Kory Larsen prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Cascade County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
This conviction is yet another important outcome from Project Safe Neighborhoods, a national priority of the United States Department of Justice. PSN is designed as a partnership between federal and local law enforcement to reduce violent crime and gun-related crime through the vigorous enforcement of the criminal provisions of the federal firearms laws. In Montana, the effort under PSN is called "Catch and No Release."

Chris Bukowski: from Bartlett High 'Class Hottie' to 'The Bachelorette'
By Lori Rackl email@example.com July 1, 2012 10:20PM
His rivals laugh as Chris Bukowski aims an arrow during a "Bachelorette" episode in Scotland.
Article Extras
Updated: August 3, 2012 6:10AM
'The Bachelorette" hopeful Chris Bukowski played football, basketball and baseball at Bartlett High School, where he had a reputation as a standout athlete.
You wouldn't know it based on a recent episode of the ABC dating show, where Bukowski donned a kilt and competed against fellow suitors in a mini version of Scotland's Highland Games. Bukowski, 25, looked about as athletic as a manatee roller-skating uphill.
"I joked to one of my friends that he totally tanked those challenges to get the pity date," said Keith Miles, who's known Chris since fourth grade.
Whatever the strategy, it worked. Bachelorette Emily Maynard awarded Bukowski the "bravest man" mug, and he came out a winner on the competition that mattered most: the rose ceremony.
Bukowski has such a penchant for collecting roses on the show, he's made it to the final four. And that means it's time for hometown dates. On Monday's episode, he and the three other remaining men bring Maynard to their old stomping grounds. Bukowski takes Maynard on a walking tour of the Windy City, where he bought a condo last year in River North. The single mom from Charlotte, N.C., also meets his family.
"It's the Cleavers over there," Miles said, referring to the close-knit Bukowski clan, a Catholic family that clings to its Polish heritage. Chris is the baby; he has two older sisters, one of whom moved to New York and another who's a nurse and recently got engaged. (Until their relative is off the show, family members are, like the contestants, under contract not to speak to the media.)
His parents still live in west suburban Bartlett, where Bukowski got together on Memorial Day with some childhood friends to watch "The Bachelorette."
"Chris has always been a real outgoing guy," said one of those friends, Dean Prince. "When I heard that he was interviewing for the show, I can't say I was too surprised."
Miles was a little concerned about how his buddy would be portrayed on the program, which has showcased more tools than a Home Depot.
"I don't know any of the other guys personally, but a lot of them look phony," Miles said. "But Chris is exactly like he is in real life. The guy you see on TV — the charismatic, nice, Midwestern guy — that's exactly who he is."
On the show, Bukowski fessed up to Maynard that he's only had one "real" relationship, and that was with his high school girlfriend. Friends say she's a former cheerleader who now works as a bartender on the North Side. Prince said she's being "a good sport" about having her ex on TV.
"She said it was a little weird because any past relationship he's talking about, you can basically insert her name there," Prince said, noting that he sees some similarities between Bukowski's high school sweetheart and Maynard.
"Both very cute. Both blonde — well, she was blonde in high school," Prince said. "Both have personalities."
Maynard has something else: a 6-year-old daughter, Ricki. Even though Bukowski is a year younger than Maynard, Miles said his friend is ready for fatherhood.
"The other guys on the show kind of poke fun at his young age, but Chris has been mature beyond his years forever," Miles said. "I could see him being a great dad if Emily picks him."
And she should, as far as Miles is concerned.
"Emily is right up his alley, and she's a good-looking blonde, which doesn't hurt," he said. "A Southern girl with great morals. I think that's exactly what Chris is looking for."
Looking for love on "The Bachelorette" wasn't initially Bukowski's idea. A friend nominated him to be on the show. She's a pal from high school, where Bukowski was voted "Class Hottie."
"We had a category, 'Most Likely To Be on a Reality TV Show,' but you could only win one," recalled Prince. "I think he would have rather won 'Class Hottie.' "
Bukowski also was known as the "Polish Assassin," at least on the basketball court.
"The three-point shot from the corner — that was his spot and he was deadly from it," said his high school basketball coach, Jim Wolfsmith.
Wolfsmith admits that reality shows "aren't my cup of tea," but he's been keeping tabs on his former student's search for love courtesy of the gossip he gets from the girls softball team that he coaches.
"I hope he wins," Wolfsmith said. "Chris was a great kid, one of my favorite athletes. He works hard at whatever he does."
Bukowski studied hospitality management and business at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. While in college, he took a job as a concierge at the chi-chi Wynn resort on the Strip.
"He would tell me stories about setting up hotel rooms and stuff for Lindsay Lohan," said Miles, who left Southern Illinois University and moved near Bukowski in Vegas. Miles still lives in Sin City, where he's a photographer at Graceland Wedding Chapel. Bukowski left after graduation to take a job in corporate sales for the New York Islanders hockey team.
Last year Bukowski moved back to Chicago, where he was corporate and premium sales manager at Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates. He quit that gig in March to go on the show. Before he left, his marketing-minded co-workers had some advice: Give the bachelorette custom-made, his-and-hers bobblehead dolls.
"It was a good first impression," said Sears Centre marketing coordinator Georgieann Michels. "She ate it up."
Maynard picked Bukowski to get the season's first one-on-one date. Clearly smitten, she's repeatedly mentioned how good-looking he is. But Maynard has been dissing him a bit as of late. On last week's episode in Prague, Bukowski didn't get a one-on-one date, and he walked away from the group date without a rose. That prompted a serious sulking session, which he later apologized for, tearfully, during the rose ceremony.
"I've never seen him have feelings for a girl like that," Miles said. "To be brought to tears — I've never seen him swoon like that. Emily really captured his heart. He seems very in love."

Chef Seeks Help Finding Snacks. Gluten-Containing Foods Need Not Apply.
Jan Chait
September 29, 2009
Help! Does anybody have any ideas for inexpensive, child-friendly, gluten-free snacks? I have a new child in religious school who needs gluten-free food, and I cannot bring myself to provide one thing for the rest of the children and tell him, "You can't have that; this is for you."
Yeah, yeah, I know: While an estimated 90% of processed food contains gluten, most fresh foods — fresh fruit, for example — are gluten-free. We do serve fruit, but children also want goodies. And that's all the time; not the now-and-then the health-minded adults make them put up with.
So far, we've had traditional Rosh Hashanah fare: apples and honey one week, honey cake and grapes the next, and pomegranate granita (and chocolate shofars) the next. (I made the honey cake and the granita.)
Now, I'm at the scratching-my-head phase. Make-your-own sundae with fresh fruit, gluten-free granola, and yogurt? Snack mix? Chex has several gluten-free cereals and a bunch of gluten-free snack recipes using the cereals. Including puppy chow. (For those of you who are out of the loop, puppy chow is Chex cereal mixed with chocolate, peanut butter, and such. But they're calling it Muddy Buddies now.)
Recently, I got a package of a Mike-Sells product called Puffcorn Delites. While the package didn't say it was gluten-free, it didn't appear to have any ingredients that contained gluten. Just to make sure, I e-mailed the company and found out that it is, indeed, gluten-free and is even made in a gluten-free facility. In Indianapolis, yet, which is near where I live. I was even given a contact name so I can find out what else they make there. Gee, wouldn't it be great if the place had an outlet store filled with inexpensive, gluten-free goodies? Although the price of Puffcorn isn't too bad. Billed as popcorn without the hull, it's tasty (addictive, even) and is only two bucks for a big bag.
Back in the day (like, last year), the parents took turns providing snacks. With the exception of the child's mother, this year they are avoiding even answering the question "are you going to take turns doing snacks this year?" as if I were a malaria-carrying mosquito and they were caught without a net. It can't possibly be rocket science for this group. I mean, we're Jewish. We manage to cook plenty of stuff sans wheat (and other gluten-containing grains) for Passover every year.
"Ho-hum," you say. "Why should I care about gluten-free food — or its cost?"
Because, I explain, if you have Type 1 diabetes, you're at risk for celiac disease, which is a sensitivity to gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat, rye, barley, and maybe oats. According to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 1 in 10 people with Type 1 diabetes has celiac, compared to 1 in 100 people in the general population.
If you have celiac, ingesting gluten can damage the tiny projections in the lining of the small intestine (called villi) that increase the surface area of the intestine and allow for the fast absorption of nutrients. If the villi are damaged, many of the nutrients in food will fail to be absorbed. It's kind of like pouring water on a carpeted floor versus a wooden one. Which will absorb the most water? The carpet, of course. (Or the mop you're using to soak up the water from the wood flooring. But, then, our bodies don't have "mops.")
Back to my original plea, however: Please share any ideas you have for inexpensive, child-friendly, gluten-free treats. Who knows: You may be helping a fellow reader, too.
As you said, many Pesach treats are gluten-free. You can get potato starch year round, and it doesn't take more than that, eggs, oil, and sugar (and in some recipes, lemon zest or orange juice) to make sponge cake. If I remember correctly, macaroons are also gluten-free, and egg kichel uses almond meal rather than any sort of flour. There are also a number of gluten-free mixes available in the supermarket. Look down the diet aisle or the health-foods aisle to find them. Rice cakes may be gluten-free, depending on their flavoring. You should also be able to find rice crackers in either the Asian food aisle or the health food aisle; these may also be gluten-free. Depending on whether or not you have to deal with peanut allergies, PB on fruit (apples, bananas) may be a good treat. There's always chocolate (once we hit Thanksgiving, think of buying those bags of foil-wrapped chocolate "Chanukah gelt" in bulk -- in both milk- and dark-chocolate varieties).

My daughter, age 5, has Type 1 and Celiac. I also happen to have it, too. There are a few snacks out there, but they are pricy. Some suggestions include: gluten-free rice crispy bars (I like Nature's Path), gluten-free brownie bites (I like Pamela's), gluten-free mini-cupcakes (Betty Crocker GF cake mix), Glutino pretzels, fruit snacks (Kellogs or General Mills are GF), SF popsicles, cheese sticks/slices, apples slices with peanut butter....that's all I can think of right now. Hope this helps!
Posted by: Jennifer | Sep 29, 2009 02:32 PM
Jan, Have you tried http://www.glutenfree.com or http://www.glutenfreemall.com? I don't have celiac, but found these from Amy Tenderich's site. Hope you find a great recipe! Best to you, Mark
Posted by: Mark | Sep 29, 2009 12:11 PM
Have a look at this site - http://www.glutenfreemike.com - There is a lot of great information, product reviews including Shabtai baked goods as well as a frequently updated recipe section that I use...

Sam's club has a very nice brown rice cracker that has such a great nutty taste. Cost around 8 dollars a box. Each box has 2 bags. I love the crunch and nutty taste. They are in the cookie and cracker aisle and the box is yellow. Enjoy

Have you tried www.shopwell.com? It's really great because you can enter in your allergies and intolerances like gluten intolerance in addition to your likes and dislikes. Then they give you back items that you can eat and more importantly find in the regular grocery store.

Hi Jan, Dipping fruit in chocolate makes for a great and yummy snack. It's fun and simple to make at home or in school. Funny, I stumbled on your question because I'm teaching a Kosher cooking class for teens tomorrow night and I know one of the teens is gluten-free. We're making potato latkes, kale chips, hummus, dates with melted feta, and a couple of other things that might not appeal to the younger set. Good luck! Carol

Eighteen cabins in the popular Curry Village area of California's Yosemite National Park have been closed after they were identified as being in danger of getting struck by falling rock. Also in the hazard area: some employee housing and eight walk-in campsites, which have been relocated.
The Curry Village closings came last week, but weren't announced until Thursday, after a National Park Service survey made to assess which rocks are in danger of falling – and where -- pinpointed structures in harm's way. The seven-by-one-mile Yosemite Valley, site of Curry Village, is the hub of visitor activity in the popular park. About 90% of its nearly 4 million annual visitors congregate in the valley, which was formed by glaciers – and tumbling boulders.
"Obviously, the hazard is there and there's no way to completely mitigate the hazard," says park spokesman Scott Gediman. "Rocks are going to fall. It's a wild place. But what we can do is mitigate the risk by closing some cabins, campgrounds and employee housing."
The impact on visitors will likely be minimal. The 10 hard-sided and eight canvas tent cabins in the new off-limits zone are a fraction of the total 503 accommodations in Curry Village. Even when lodging is sold out months in advance, last-minute cancellations free up rooms, says Lisa Cesaro, a spokeswoman for Delaware North, which operates the park's concessions. At worst, she adds, some visitors might get an upgrade.
Delaware North's other Yosemite lodgings, the historic Ahwahnee Hotel and the larger, 245-room Yosemite Lodge, are unaffected.
In 2008, rocks from 3,000-foot Glacier Point, which rises dramatically above Curry Village, rained down on the century-old camp, striking 17 cabins. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured. A study after the incident resulted in fencing off 233 cabins.
The latest study undertook a survey of the entire valley using new methods, including laser technology that more accurately dates rock, thereby helping to predict when boulders might break off from a larger mass.
Falling rocks in the valley have killed 15 people and injured 85 since the record-keeping began in 1857.

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Sudan's Foreign Ministry has permitted diplomats from Britain, Norway and South Africa to meet their nationals detained in a disputed region along the border with South Sudan.
Sudan claims the foreigners were carrying out military activities. They were arrested in the Heglig region, scene of recent fighting between Sudan and South Sudan.
The government used the arrests to back up its claims that South Sudan uses foreign fighters.
The diplomats said the group was in the region on a mine-clearing mission.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Obaid Ahmed Murawah said Monday the mine-clearing activities lacked government approval and should not be carried in an area "still in flames," a reference to the ongoing dispute.
He said the investigation is in progress.

Overall: 5
Price: 3 (~$8 CAD on sale at Walmart)
Packaging: 4
Buy again: yes
I have no idea what the difference is between all the various Falsies formulas (there are like 3), but I really like the Flared Waterproof version. I tried the original "The Falsies" nonwaterproof formula when it first came out a few years ago and I absolutely hated it. I haven't worn mascara in a long time though because I had lash extensions (and didn't need mascara) - but my lash extensions are now gone and I need mascara again. I know several youtube gurus that swear by this mascara so of course I had to give it a shot.
It holds a curl very well - most waterproof formulas do, since they are drier formulas, but still not all do. This mascara performs well in that department. I only need like 1 coat to get a good amount of volume and definition to my eyes. No smudging or flaking throughout the day, removes easily with makeup remover/oil cleanser.
What else can I say? I love that it is available a every drugstore too. I would definitely buy again.

this has been my FAV mascara for years. every time I try a different brand, I regret it. See, I have stubborn, stick-straight lashes that point down. Some mascaras weigh them down after curling them, then they would dry straight. ugh. this one not only help my lashes stay curled all day, but also helps push it up more (love the wand!). The amount of volume and lengthening this mascara has is unbeatable at this price. And the hold is really fantastic - it lasts all day and night, and doesn't smudge.
This might clump depending on your application (especially if you're doing many coats), but for me, it hasn't been much of an issue. To avoid clumping, apply to the base of your lashes after curling, wiggle it a bit, and give a swift stroke upwards - don't use too many coats at the tips. I don't need much lengthening, so I usually don't even apply it to the tips of my lashes for daytime makeup.

huummmmm...... ok so I have only worn this once.... and it was on a hot day.... but it ran and i looked like some kinda sad clown.
I read reviews saying it was awesome.. i was pretty disappointed at the running/smudging considering it was waterproof too.
I will try it again on a not so hot day and hope it is better.
I did like the dramatic darkness it creates on the lashes.... just not under my eyes.
The packaging is cool, but so far not impressed... will try again.

Best mascara ever. Makes your eyelashes dark and very thick! I have short eyelashes but I always get complimented while wearing this! Some may it's clumpy, but as long as you seperate them before with a dry brush or an old mascara they're perfect! Love it so much!
doesn't look that great when you apply multiple coats. looks clumpy like tarantula eyes if you put on two coats. but i wear it, it's not terrible. really "fills in" the gaps if you have thin lashes, like i do. probably will not repurchase though. it was worth a try.

I'm a fan of Maybelline's entire Falsies line, but Flared in Waterproof is my favorite mascara. I almost never branch out, and if I do, I know I've got this one to fall back on for guaranteed results. It doesn't dry out in the tube like some other members of the Falsies family are prone to, it applies wonderfully, and the results are immediately visible. I like my makeup to always be dramatic - I don't believe in demure! - and with a few coats of this mascara I can get my eyelashes to POP. I've been buying this specific type of mascara for ages now, and I see no reason to change my ways now.
This mascara didn't really do much for me. It clumped and made my top lashes fall. Maybelline makes better mascara like The Rocket.

If you have short lashes, don't bother with this. I found it super dry and clumpy and it really just did nothing. It is also hard to get on the lashes and doesn't blend well.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This mascara is great and it really works at making your lashes long and thick. It holds the curl really well and doesn't really smudge under my eyes (which i always struggle to find in a mascara)...but it's SOOOO hard to take off.
I'll probably buy it again to wear on nights out, but otherwise it's such a pain to take off every night.
I started off with this waterproof version of Falsies Flared, and ended up switching to the non-waterproof kind. Don't get me wrong, if you want mascara that STAYS then this is it! But I mean it's like impossible to get off haha. I have to go through 2 or 3 sessions of wiping with makeup remover to get this stuff off. Even after that, it's still not completely gone. It's great if you're busy and don't have time to re-apply makeup throughout the day, But when you go to sleep and want to clean your face off, it may be a bit of a struggle to make sure it's completely removed. Overall I am happy with it, Falsies Flared and regular Falsies are my favorite mascaras at the moment. Not so much the Falsies black drama, which is just not as good as the other two.

Angela Davis to visit Detroit
Angela Davis is scheduled to speak in Detroit, Oct. 24. The political activist, author, scholar and former Black Panther will be the featured speaker at a rally for the Nov. 6 elections, according to event organizers.
Davis is an outspoken advocate who has written several books on race, gender, class, conservatism and imprisonment. She has criticized the criminalization of Black people and the prison industrial complex, saying she considers herself an "abolitionist" rather than a reformer.
She is expected to address issues of voter participation, collective bargaining, activism and institutional injustice.
Davis will appear Oct. 24, 7-10 p.m. at Fellowship Chapel, 7700 W. Outer Drive in Detroit. Reception to follow.

Mayor Rob Ford says an accusation that he gave a mother and her six-year-old daughter the middle finger while driving is "not accurate" and laments that such a "misunderstanding" occurred.
Mayor Ford posted his response to his Facebook page Friday afternoon. "There has been a story published that while I was on the phone I made a rude gesture to a fellow driver. This is not accurate and it's unfortunate this misunderstanding occurred," the statement read. The Mayor admits to being on the phone, but says he did not make a rude gesture, said his press secretary Adrienne Batra.
The fellow driver in question was Ottilie Mason, who posted an account of her brief encounter with the chief magistrate on Dundas Street and Spadina Avenue on Facebook.
According to her version of events, Ms. Mason was driving east on Dundas Street Friday evening when she looked over and saw Mayor Ford talking on his cell phone. When she got to the intersection, Ms. Mason and her daughter gave his worship a thumbs down for his behaviour and told him to get off his cell phone.
"Rob Ford, our mayor, then gives us the finger," Ms. Mason writes in her account. "I roll down my window and again shout, "get off your cell phone!" He keeps giving us the finger and I can see him mouthing swear words through the window."
Ms. Mason said the license plate on the minivan read "ROBFORD". Asked for reaction to the Mayor's statement, Ms. Mason told the National Post there is no misunderstanding. "I know what I saw," she wrote.

Dylan Smith placed second in the Design Presentation prepared event, while the team of Donald Smith and Ronnie Maduzia took fourth in the Business-to-Business Marketing case study event at the recent Texas Career Development Conference in Austin. All three students will be attending and competing at the International Career Development Conference in April.
In addition to competition success against students statewide, these students attended conference workshops and leadership activities as well as volunteered in the Austin community.
�As part of DEX�s commitment of giving back to our communities, we spent a half day volunteering at the Capital Area Food Bank,� said Melinda Becker, advisor of the LSC-CyFair DEX chapter. �During our visit, we unpacked, inspected and sorted 8,932 pounds of frozen meat, providing 7,146 meals to families in need in the Austin area.�
At the conclusion of the state conference, the students elected LSC-CyFair�s Maduzia as the incoming DEX State President. The outgoing president is LSC-CyFair�s Donald Smith.
�Congratulations to our students on their achievements and carrying on the tradition of excellence representing Lone Star College-CyFair!� said Becker.

Recently by Bill Bonner: Expatriation in the Wake of the FacebookIPO
Baltimore, Maryland – How do you like those wimpy, whiney investors? They lose money in Facebook. Do they take their losses like men? Nope.
They rush to sue everybody! The investment banks who were midwifes to the birth of FB into the public markets weren't playing fair, they say. They gave their best clients more and better info than they fed to the public.
Well, what…you mean…could you be saying…that the insiders have an edge?
"The thing about this IPO," said a friend at lunch, "was that the whole world was watching. That's why this was so important. It showed everyone how Wall Street operates. Everybody got burned. And they blame Wall Street…because they can see that the pros were being only half honest. And the other half was incompetent."
Yes, dear reader, our hunch seems to have been right. The FB launch was a disaster for shareholders…for Wall Street…and for the whole cult of equities that has ruled the investment world for the last 3 decades.
"…a six-decade passion for equities has come to an end," reports The Financial Times.
"Stocks have not been so far out of favor for half a century," continues the report… "with equity returns virtually flat for more than a decade, the incentive for investors to take risks by funding smaller, more entrepreneurial companies has declined – eroding a process that has traditionally given managers the flexibility they need to grow. Capitalism with less equity finance would follow a much more conservative model."
In the US, pension funds allocated as much as 70% of their funds to equities 10 years ago. Now, they're down to 52%.
Everyone is turning his back on stocks…at least, that's what the FT says. And analysts are already comparing this FT article to the "Death of Equities" cover story in BusinessWeek in 1979…just before a huge new bull market began.
Relative to bonds, stocks haven't been this cheap since 1956. That was the year when George Ross Goobey announced he was switching the entire portfolio of Imperial Tobacco's pension fund into stocks.
Goobey turned out to be a genius. Stocks began a great bull market which continued, aside from a countertrend between 1966 and 1982, for the next 56 years!
And now a lot of people think this is another Goobey moment. Stocks are cheap, they say. Get ready for another grand bull market!
What do we say? Nah…
The problems are:
This ain't 1956…this is 2012. The US is no longer on top of its game. It's no longer in full expansion. It is slipping…sliding…burdened by high costs…zombie industries…and corrupt governments. Growth rates are low…lower than the rate of debt build-up… There is no reason to think America's capital structure – either stocks or bonds – will become more valuable.
Stocks are not cheap. They are only cheap when you compare them to bond yields. But bonds yields are suppressed by a Great Correction…about which more below. In order to be absolutely cheap, US stock prices will have to be cut in half – at least. That would put yields and P/Es near where you can get a 5%+ yield and buy a dollar's worth of earnings for $5…not $12. Then, stocks will be cheap.
Bond yields fall in a correction because people do not want to increase their debt levels; they want to reduce them. They also reduce spending…which lowers business sales and profits, thus making stocks less valuable, not more valuable. As the Great Correction intensifies (and it appears to be doing so now) we can expect stocks to follow the Japanese example. Japan has been in a Great Correction for 22 years. Its stocks have lost 3/4 of their value. They're still down 75% – nearly a quarter century after the correction began.
Goobey moment? We don't think so. It's time to sell stocks, not buy them.

Report: Google and PayPal Challenge UK Joint Venture Plans
Google and PayPal have reportedly expressed concerns to European antitrust regulators, saying they fear that if major UK mobile operators are allowed to form their proposed NFC mobile-commerce joint venture, they would have too much power to control secure elements in NFC phones, the Financial Times reported Sunday.
The publication said that Google and PayPal, as well as IBM are "concerned about the market power that could potentially be gained by rivals controlling the use of a key microchip."
They expressed the fears "in confidence" to members of the team in the European Commission's competition agency that is weighing the antitrust implications of the planned joint venture, dubbed Project Oscar, according to the article.
The European Commission announced April 13 that it would expand its preliminary inquiry into an in-depth investigation into the proposed venture by the UK's three largest mobile operators, Everything Everywhere, Telefónica (O2) UK and Vodafone UK.
The commission in its announcement said that the preliminary investigation had revealed "potential competition concerns" because of the combined market share the three telcos hold. That could possibly limit the launch of competing mobile wallets and mobile advertising and restrict access to related data analytics.
According to the Financial Times (registration or subscription required), Google submitted comments after receiving a "non-binding request" from the commission.
Google: Consumer Choice Needed
A Google spokesman would only confirm that it did make the on-the-record comment cited in the article: "We hope that however this fast moving market develops, there will be lots of choices for consumers."
Google has already butted heads with another telco NFC joint venture, Isis, made up of three of the top four U.S. mobile operators. At least one of the Isis operators, Verizon Wireless, has tried to block the Google Wallet from Google's own Galaxy Nexus Android phone, which Verizon put on sale late last year.
A European Commission spokesman told NFC Times he could not confirm that the commission had asked Google in particular to comment as part of the commission's investigation into the proposed joint venture.
"As part of all merger control cases, the commission conducts market investigations or requests information and comments from other market participants," he said.
Google, which is itself under investigation by the commission for possible antitrust violations, has its own critics when it comes to the openness of its mobile wallet.
Among them are the wallet's own co-founding engineers, who quit the project earlier this year in part because Google decided not to open the wallet platform to outside app developers, sources have told NFC Times.
NFC Times has learned that Google has been talking to banks and other mobile-commerce players in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, as well as in Asia, as it seeks to expand the Google Wallet outside of the U.S.
But observers say that Google is receiving a cool reception from large operator or operator groups in the U.S., Europe and Asia, because the telcos have their own NFC wallet plans.
Google had planned to launch the wallet in at least one major European city during the first half of 2012, a goal it is not likely to hit.
Google launched its wallet last September largely in five U.S. cities, but has been struggling to add merchants, service providers and NFC phones to support the wallet.
Meanwhile, PayPal is seeking to expand its online payment service to the physical point of sale and is exploring a range of technologies that could one day include NFC. Like Google, it also would not like to see telcos in too dominant a position.
PayPal reportedly said that it believes "consumers should be able to choose from a wide range of payment methods."
Increasing Scrutiny of Oscar
The joint venture plans of the UK telcos have come under increasing scrutiny from Brussels, which have foiled their earlier plans to have the Oscar platform up and running by now.
Probably more damaging to the plans than the concerns reportedly expressed by Google and PayPal is the strong opposition Project Oscar has faced from another UK telco, Three, or Hutchison 3G UK. Three is concerned that the joint venture would put it at a disadvantage with respect to its larger rivals in rolling out mobile-commerce services.
The commission in its announcement two weeks ago noted that it routinely clears the "vast majority" of proposed mergers and joint ventures. It has only five other phase II investigations underway, like the one it is conducting on the Oscar joint venture. The commission is due to announce a decision Aug. 27.
A rejection of Project Oscar by the commission would call into question other proposed m-commerce joint ventures in Europe, including those in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Hungary. Like the UK venture, the other groups plan to build a common platform for NFC services, and in some cases to hire a common trusted service manager. Most of the groups are led by telcos.
Besides setting technical specifications and business rules for NFC payment applications, Project Oscar would provide a "single contact point for advertisers, media agencies, retailers and brands," the telcos said in a recent statement, in which they noted that service providers would be able to "book advertising space and create campaigns across all opted-in mobile users, affording economies of scale that they could not ordinarily achieve."
They insist their platform would be open to all mobile-commerce players, including other operators and wallet suppliers.
But the UK telcos also have made no secret of one of their main reasons for wanting to form the joint venture–to ward off the likes of Google and other so-called over-the-top players–a list that might one day include Apple.
Controlling Embedded Chips
According to the Financial Times, investigators are focusing on the UK telcos' control of secure elements in NFC phones, especially the SIM. This is the secure element the UK telcos plan to use for payment and other secure mobile-commerce applications running on the common platform the telcos' intend to build.
But the article said that even for embedded secure elements, European regulators believe the joint venture might hinder competition, if operators refuse to subsidize or sell the phones running competing wallets.
The European Commission spokesman declined to confirm that it had made such a statement.
But in its announcement April 13, the commission said that the proposed UK joint venture and its member telcos "may have the technical and commercial ability and incentive to block future competitors from offering their own mobile-wallet services to customers in the UK, or to degrade the quality of these competing mobile wallets so that they become less attractive." It added that the second phase of the investigation would determine "whether these initial concerns are confirmed or not."
If they control the distribution channels of phones, operators could potentially make it difficult for Google and other competing wallet providers to access secure elements. All NFC payment applications require a secure element to safeguard the encryption keys.
Google has used embedded secure elements for its wallet applications in the U.S., though it said it could also use SIM cards issued by operators in Europe or elsewhere to anchor the wallet.
The sole operator partner Google has announced for its wallet remains Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. carrier, which is allowing the Web giant to access embedded secure chips in Android phones it sells. It recently introduced three more wallet phones, in addition to Google's Nexus S 4G model, which had been the only model to support the wallet for months.
Google last week announced that it would sell a GSM version of the phone directly to consumers from its Google Play Web store. That would enable subscribers of the two other Isis partners, AT&T and T-Mobile USA, to use the wallet with the model. Google is able to introduce the wallet to its Galaxy Nexus on U.S. networks other than Sprint because it controls the embedded chip.
Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile were not required to seek permission from U.S. antitrust regulators before forming their joint venture in 2010.

Duomo area
Tornabuoni Beacci
Florence, 50123, Italy
Fashion insiders love these 28 characterful rooms rambling through a pair of 15th-century palazzi, surrounded by haute couture boutiques and across a small piazza from the fresco-filled Santa Trinità church. Writer Frances Mayes and Barbara Bush are among those who've shunned more luxurious establishments to stay here. The antiques in the rooms may be a bit shopworn, but they're genuine, and this 80-year-old hotel is full of cozy nooks, like the reading room hung with a 17th-century tapestry and warmed by a crackling fire in winter. It has an unbeatable location for shopaholics, right at the foot of Via Tornabuoni, the main drag of Florence's designer shopping district.
Room to Book: Rooms 303 and 204 (a suite) both have 17th-century frescoes.

Don't miss the flower-filled roof garden with its view of the Bellosguardo hill across the Arno.

Appendicitis - What are the symptoms of appendicitis?
The first thing you'll probably feel if you have appendicitis is pain around your belly button.
After about four to six hours, the pain may travel to the right side of your lower abdomen.[3]
You probably won't feel like eating and you might vomit. You may also:[3][4]
Have cramp-like pain in your abdomen
Have a slight temperature (about 37.7 °C to 38.3 °C, or 100 °F to 101 °F)
Have constipation or, less commonly, diarrhoea
Have pain that gets worse when you move, take a deep breath, cough, or sneeze
Feel like you need to pass a stool
Feel more comfortable being bent over, or lying with your knees drawn up.
But not everybody gets all of these symptoms. You might not get these symptoms if you:
Are very young or very old
Are pregnant
Have an appendix that is not in the usual place
If your child has a pain in their abdomen and a high temperature, they are more likely to have appendicitis than if they just have a pain in their abdomen.[5]
If you think that you or your child might have appendicitis, see your doctor or go to hospital immediately.
Diabetes is a condition that causes too much sugar (glucose) to circulate in the blood. It happens when the body stops making a hormone called insulin (type 1 diabetes) or when insulin stops working (type 2 diabetes).
Diarrhoea is when you have loose, watery stools and you need to go to the toilet far more often than usual. Doctors say you have diarrhoea if you need to go to the toilet more than three times a day.

And the 2012 YNaija Person of the Year Is... Ezekwesili, Aliko Dangote, Bakare, D'banj & more make the list!
With nominees carefully selected by YNaija panel of editors, readers will have the opportunity to vote that person who is worthy of the title. However the editors, taking the popular vote into advisement, will make the final decision.
The announcement of the selection for YNaija Person of the Year is on December 31, 2012. There will be no award given to the winner, and also no event The winner and the public will be officially notified of the selection, with an essay detailing rationale, impact and significance for the future. The nominees are:
Davido: The self-styled 'Omo Baba Olowo', has made his mark, in such a short period of time running his Record Label, HKN Music, and striking music 'collabos' with the best in the music industry at home and abroad. At just age 20, his fame is sure to rise in the coming years.
Don Jazzy: Formerly the co-supremo at Mo'Hits Records and presently the helmsman of the MAVINS Record Label, he has done good for himself continuously hitting the mark and constantly delivering danceable beats.
Wizkid: Wizkid is a prominent member of the EME family. His voice and appeal to a wide variety of audience is undeniable. Wizkid, who shot into the music limelight with his song, 'Holla at your boy'has continued to grow, headlining sellout tours in the country, Europe and America.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala: This eclectic woman described by The Economist Magazine as the 'Iron Lady' is a world player in the economic and financial sense of the word. She is a renowned economist and presently Nigeria's minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy. In April, she became one of three candidates in the race to replace World Bank President Robert Zoellick.
Olusegun Mimiko: Following his feat in 2009 when he won the gubernatorial elections in Ondo State via the election tribunal, Governor Olusegun Mimiko did it again, this time via the ballot box when he won the October 20, 2012 election to continue in office for a second term.
Aliko Dangote: With his entrepreneurial savvy and consistence, Dangote has risen to become Africa's richest man. Outside of government, the Dangote conglomerate is the highest employer of labour in the country. This year, Dangote opened a 6 million metric tonnes cement production plant in Ibeche.
Tunde Bakare: After losing out to the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2011 elections, Pastor Bakare has continued to be a voice of the opposition using his weekly sermon at the Latter Rain Assembly as a platform to speak against corruption, administrative recklessness, amidst many other issues.
Omoyemi Akerele: Featured on the New York Times, the Huffington Post, and CNN which described her as a "fashion pioneer," Omoyemi Akerele's desire to put Nigeria on the global fashion map led her to establish the Lagos Fashion and Design Week.
Barth Nnaji: Nnaji's tenure as minister of power, though brief, managed to endear him to many Nigerians as one of the most popular power ministers ever. After his resignation, a public poll was conducted by an online newspaper and it was found that 64% of Nigerians disapproved of his ouster.
Dapo 'D' banj' Oyebanjo: D'banj joined the G.O.O.D Music crew owned by Grammy Award winning artiste, Kanye West, and has since then achieved many feats including sold out show appearances, topped charts, and won several awards to show that his success and that of his former partner, Don Jazzy doesn't have to be inversely proportional.
Obiageli Ezekwesili: Her moral authority has become her calling card. This year, she successfully completed her stint as the World Bank Vice President Africa Division, a position to which she was appointed in 2007. As vice-president she was in charge of the bank's operations in 48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and supervised a lending portfolio of over $40 billion.
The Nigerian: For surviving against all odds, when the pump price of fuel was increased and packaged as a New Year's gift, the future seemed bleak. But The Nigerian has come through. From bomb blasts, to air mishaps, to monumental fraud, The Nigerian not only survived but continues to believe in the country's redemption.

Great Experience With Payday Loans October 19, 2012 at 6:16 pm
I have used payday loans online many times in the past without any trouble. I am forty years of age with limited experience using a computer. However, I never had any trouble finding the application or completing the questions attached to the application process. After submitting my information, I was provided with conformation that was request was approved. After waking up the next morning, I went to pick up the cash and paid my bills. Prior to using this service for the first time, I thought it would be impossible to simply get through the application. However, I was able to do so without any help from my family members. I also assumed that I would not get the loan I needed at the time, this was also an incorrect assumption. In fact, I have always been very pleased with how easy it is to obtain a loan through these lenders.
While I had my doubts from the start, applying for these payday loans online was easily one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I feared that I would come to these lenders in need and get rejected in the process, but I found the help I needed so badly. Also, I loved the very inexpensive rates, it helped to provide me with some stress relief. I work every day, this can make my life very hard. However, these lenders have simplified my life through making cash available to me without the need for credit check or complex processes.

I think you have an OPENGL ICD (Instalable Client Driver) provided for their own card by ATI and Nvidia... not sure about it... :)
07/02/2007, 08h47
This was reported early in Vista Beta and caused a lot of unecessary hype, both Nvida and ATI said they would have it addressed before release.
07/02/2007, 15h28
Thanks for the clarification, gentlemen! Probably going to stick with XP anyhow.
07/02/2007, 18h03
I will too, I remember Win-ME and actually got one... never again. ;)
I'll wait until the first service pack is out at least and then get 4 new machines for the company and demote the old p-4's to render farm material.
08/02/2007, 00h57
I am seeing a lot of horrible Vista reports popping up in the rhino forums. What is so wonderful about Vista anyway? I have no problems running XP Pro on all my apps. So no reason to change. Bill Gates does not need my money...
