Suitland Drug Ringleader Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison
Greenbelt, Maryland - Chief U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow sentenced John Willis Cox, age 42, of Clinton, Maryland, today to 14 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute cocaine and possession of a gun by a felon. Judge Chasanow enhanced Cox's sentence upon finding that he is a career offender based on two prior drug convictions.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Ava Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Interim Chief Mark Magaw of the Prince George's County Police Department.
"Today's sentencing of John Willis Cox closes the book on a significant drug trafficking ring impacting the Washington D.C. metropolitan area," said Special Agent-in-Charge Ava A. Cooper-Davis of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Washington Division. "This career offender will now be behind bars for many years, as he deserves. It clearly demonstrates DEA's commitment, by working with our state and local partners, to stop drug traffickers who profit from the harm they present to our community."
According to his guilty plea, Cox led a drug trafficking ring in Suitland, Maryland. From at least February 2007 to February 2009, Cox regularly sold multiple kilogram of cocaine to several regular drug customers in the Washington, D.C. metro area. For example, in August 2007 Cox sold 111.5 grams of cocaine to an informant for $4,000; in September 2007 he sold quantities of cocaine and powder cocaine for $3,800; and in January 2008 Cox sold a quantity of cocaine for $3,800.
Cox stored his cocaine at apartments on Silver Hill Court in Suitland and sold quantities of drugs ranging from "8-balls" (3.5 grams) to full kilograms, from one of the apartments. Cox paid others, in money or drugs, to store drugs for him.
A search warrant was executed at Cox's residence on February 25, 2009. Officers seized a loaded semi-automatic handgun, boxes of ammunition and two digital scales with cocaine residue. Cox had two prior drug convictions and thus, was prohibited from possessing a gun.
Cox is responsible for the distribution of between 15 and 50 kilograms of cocaine.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA, FBI and the Prince George's County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Christen Sproule, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.

Dr. JD Diagnoses Things51 Comments Published by JD April 18th, 2010 in I Am Kind of Awesome.
If you wanna feel groovy
Give the doctor a call
What qualifies ME to diagnose serious medical conditions?
What qualifies YOU to ask that impertinent question?
And now, if it's quite all right with YOU, let's allow Dr. JD to get back to her job of healing people.
Please don't be super sad. Bunions practically pop right off. Of course, after they do, you'll still experience phantom bunion pain that is actually worse than the original pain. That's the time to be super sad.
As long as they're appearing on the right side, you're fine. Black veins on the left side of your forehead usually indicate a serious medical condition called BVF, known more commonly as death. If you have BVF, I suggest you lie down and remain calm. Death by BVF is . . . well, have you ever seen the movie Scanners?
Those black bits are extremely important to the procedure. Be sure to scoop them out of the toilet and place them carefully in a Tupperware container. Bring them with you to your colonoscopy and make the doctor look at them. After viewing your little black bits, the doctor may decide that you don't need a colonoscopy after all!
Well, I call mine Itsy, Bitsy, and Boo. But that's just me. Feel free to call them anything you like. If they answer, then it's time to worry.
You're not trying hard enough. You really have to jam it in there. This isn't a Q-Tip after all! Did you peel the potato? Because that only makes it slippery. I really hope you didn't peel it.
Did you remember to remove your finger? That can be a key component to curing this type of disease. (Also, are you sure it was your finger and not a potato?)
Did it ooze little black bits? If so, you may not need a colonoscopy after all!
Dr. JD recommends making the person eat an entire raw pig's head while watching any movie based on the books of Nicholas Sparks. After that, a gentle tap should do it.
I predict you will puke again, immediately. Whether you choose to continue this cycle is entirely up to you. But theoretically, it could last indefinitely, thus making grocery shopping a thing of the past.
This is very common and is no cause for alarm. As stated above, eating puke causes immediate puking. After ingesting someone else's puke, your child will puke. The other person may decide, at that point, to eat your child's puke. We call this Munchausen's-by-Puke, and pretty much all children do it.
Well, this is either because you are an X-Man or because you entered one of those gene-swapping pods and now have the DNA of a stegosaurus. Either way, extra bone is considered by the medical community to be a good thing. Unless it's a bunion, of course.
After Googling "diclofenac cream," I can tell you this. Stop putting things in your ass! That's probably why you needed the cream in the first place.
Assuming that, unlike the above patient, you're too shy to say "ass," this diagnosis involves a hefty amount of diclofenac cream STAT. But first I need to know the exact type of pasta to which you refer. Fusilli? Orechiette? Oh, wait. It's probably bumbola. Proceed as directed.
If the lump has already burst, you are pretty much fucked. Having said that, what were the contents of this gristle-type lump? Mostly gristle? Like pork chop gristle? Do you have a photo? I'm serious.
Look, even male butts are somewhat fleshy. Stop using so much sunscreen! Your naked male butt will NEVER tan with number 30 slathered all over it. Maybe switch to diclofenac cream.
It can mean many things. Is the stuff edible? Glow-in-the-dark? Scaly? Did you put it there? Did someone else? Have you showered recently? Does it feel good? If it feels good, I say don't worry about it.
Yeah. I think maybe your teenage son should be the one worrying. About YOU! Watching your naked teenage son shave his balls will only make him more nervous and might possibly lead to an accident. Do YOU want to be responsible for Severed Testicle Syndrome? I didn't think so.
This disease is called alcoholism and is no laughing matter. Do you have pills? Cough syrup? That kind of cold medication they use to make crystal meth? By all means, explore your options. Beer is NOT the only solution.
It is just this sort of crazy urban legend that serious doctors like me are trying to abolish. The best thing you can do is eat a donut a day, preferably more like three or four. Trust Dr. JD. She knows her donuts.
I'm sorry. I hope that wasn't your yearly donut. If it was, not even Dr. JD can help you.
And now I'm super sad.
Scanners head came from here.

Dr JD, Dr JD … is it normal never to have a bad hair day ?
Gosh – some of the issues people have – makes me suspect some of those queries were made up !
Could donut be anything else ? If a donut breaks – will there be a baby donut ?
Oh yes, back to my question – is it normal never-ever to have a bad hair day ?

I am pretty sure you are allowed to eat at least TWO donuts per year. Three, if one breaks. I have a little bit of medical knowledge myself. On account of the many minutes I spent studying on my Milton-Bradley Operation home study lab.

I for one would never question your qualifications to diagnose serious medical conditions. i wouldn't even question you ability to diagnose mild conditions. Maybe you could diagnose my problem.

Dear Dr JD,
I am giggling uncontrollably and cannot seem to stop. It started when I read your blogpost. Can you possibly prescribe some Thorazine? I think that's what they use to relax your entire body when you have prolonged hiccuping or something. Thanks.
PS~ my kids never ate puke, but my cats seem to love it.

what an informative post! wow, i felt my brain cells growing and growing…or wait, was that my gristle lump on my head??
ok, gross over sharing here: when i was a toddler i fell and cracked my forehead open. i had many stitches. for most of my life i noticed that i had a small hard bump on my head, about two inches away from my scar. as i grew older, the bump would occasionally get a hard, sharp feel. eventually a small bone chip would pop out. this happened several times over my lifetime until the last one came out about 10 years ago. no more bump! yay!
and about puking…if animals can do it, you would think humans could too. not that they should, because you should definitely not eat puke. gag!!
and i would like some diclofenac creme. not for my ass, but for the achey spot in my back. i have ordered ibuprofen creme from some internet site, it was wonderful! i could not understand the labels as it was all in german, but so far, no adverse side effects! knock on wood!!
ok, back to snuggling my two! puggie boys.

Dear Dr JD
I read this entire post and now I itch all over and it feels like my bones are sprouting new little bones and there is gristly matter oozing black stuff all over my body and really Morrissey said it best:
I am going to go home and cry and want to die.
Also, and this is for reals – could you and all your commenters run your tongue across your soft palate and let me know if yours feels rough and bumpy?
Because mine does and I have no idea if it has always been this way and it's normal because I generally don't run my tongue all over the inside of my mouth but it itches all the time now because of the stupid trees.
And I will not Google, oh no, I will not.

I wonder if black bits came out of the hard gristle lump that burst on someone's head?
Anyway, you're not supposed to eat the donut! Not one a year, not four a day. You do not eat the donut. You use the donut to sit on after your colonoscopy, especially if little black bits came out or you shaved things down there and cut yourself upon discovering your parental unit watching you.
And, if your donut broke, it's probably because you were trying to eat it. So, don't do that.

I do not think the entire raw pig's head is necessary. Just the Nicolar Sparks movies (or books) will do.
If a donut breaks all the calories and trans fats and other bad things fall or ooze out so you are then allowed to have another donut.

I noticed the person who asked about diclofenac cream in his ass (you *know* it was a guy unless it was a chick with hemorrhoids) is searching for an answer from Canada.
No comment, just noticed the person was Canada.
And then the US (just Google.com so I'm assuming that's the good ole U-S-of-A) hopped on the scene with questions about male butts, stuff on a penis, shaved balls and donuts.
Lastly, I would love to sit on the exam table and listen to my doctor speak honestly the way you did about the hard gristle-like lump that burst.
So sayeth Dr. JD: "If the lump has already burst, you are pretty much fucked."
Excellent post.

there was a little bump, small…undetectable to anyone but me. over the years it would get a sharp spot, kind of like a tooth breaking through your gum. the little chip of bone would work it's way out over a few weeks, sometimes i would help them along. they were really tiny, about the size of three grains of sand fused together. it was only a few, maybe four that came out. just little remnants from my fall. a sign that i had indeed cracked my head open!! i fell trying to climb a step up and hit the threshhold. this is my earliest memory. i recall having to stop for gas, hearing the ding of the hose at the gas station. and i remember the bright light and the drapes over my face at the hospital.
ok…there you go…serious interruption over!

I want to hear the story behind the woman discovering her son shaves his 'two veg.' There is a story there and I, for one, would like to know it. I'm imagining that she went to grab her heart medication and slipped on the tile floor due to her son's strangely long showering habits. She tried to steady herself with the shower curtain, only to have it ripped off, ring by ring by ring (this should be in slow-mo) until she is on her back, staring up at her teenage son's Big Jim and the Twins, horrified. She now knew why her pink Lady Bics were disappearing.
Then, when the vomit boxcar came rolling down the track, I immediately thought about the great 'Peep Off' At first, 'The Peep Off' was just six dudes just hangin' on the Saturday after Easter, just hangin' and seeing who could eat the most Peeps. But it grew. And grew. And grew. Now it's a huge tradition and MANY people see how many Peeps they're able to consume. It has just one rule: if the contestant ate too many Peeps (such as, say, one) and the body rejects them, the Peep Eater may continue under one condition: that they eat their own Peepafied vomit. Oh, and if you break the record, one has to wait five minutes to make sure the Peeps are steady in there.
Now that they're making Peeps all the time, people can play the home version, which usually involves alcohol of some sort.

I fully trust your medical opinion, and this post has really cleared some stuff up for me, which is why I need your diagnosis skills now.

Read Spider on the Floor by Raffi or use the Raffi recording on Singable Songs for the Very Young.
You can add verses with less familar parts of the body.
Activity: Give each child a plastic or rubbery spider. As the song progresses have them put their spiders on the correct body part until it jumps back on the floor. (Shopping for spiders around Halloween is the best time for getting creepy rubbery spiders.)

Bop 'Til You Drop Song by Mr. AlOctober 23, 2008 on 6:53 am | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Background Knowledge--Book/Story--Narrative Skills, Empower Aside, Example Aside, Explain Aside, Movement Activities, Music/Songs, Singing, Storytime Component | No Comments
Early Literacy Aside–Explain: Research shows that there are early literacy skills that influence a child's ability to learn to read. Today, you will probably notice several places where I demonstrate examples of narrative skills, which is the ability to describe things and events and to tell stories. When you develop this skill, it will help your children understand what they reads later.
Song: Bop 'Til You Drop
Go through the sequence of motions that are in the song, Bop 'Til You Drop
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Singing songs that have a certain order is one great way for children to remember the sequence or order of things. They will use the same skill when they retell a story. They learn how stories work.
Early Literacy Aside–Empower: One thing that you can do at home to develop narrative skills is to describe regular activities such as taking a bath–"first we'll get out the towel, then we'll put the water in the tub and add the bubbles/toys, then we'll take off your clothes, and get in the water. We can scrub our toes, our ears . . . " With older kids, let THEM describe the sequence of events with prompts like, "What do we have to do before we put the bubbles in? or "What do we do next?"

I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen BeaumontJuly 2, 2008 on 3:46 am | In 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Books, Example Aside, Movement Activities, Phonological Awareness, Storytime Component | No Comments
Early Literacy Aside–Example: As I read this story, I am going to pause and have the children fill in the rhyming word. This is something you can easily do with rhyming books. Start off by using rhyming books that your child has read with you before. Helping your children hear rhymes will help them later to sound out words when they learn to read!
Read the book: As you read the book, let the children chime in with some of the rhyming words, like head to follow red.
After the book activity: Everyone stand up! What's a word that rhymes with head? Children give suggestions. Pick one–bed. OK, take your hand and dip it in red paint on the floor (pretend). Now take your hand and draw a bed. Good! What's a word that rhymes with green? Perhaps the children say bean. OK, dip your foot in some green paint on the floor, and draw a bean. We all laugh together.

Tippy-Toe Chick, Go! by George ShannonJune 24, 2008 on 4:26 am | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Books, Example Aside, Movement Activities, Phonological Awareness, Storytime Component | No Comments
Book Introduction: In our next book, there is a mother hen and her three chicks, one is a Big Chick, one the Middle Chick, and lastly the Little Chick. The Little Chick likes to run on tiptoes, very quickly. Everyone stand up. Let me see you run in place, just where you are standing. Great! Now let me see you stand on tiptoe. That's right you don't touchyour heel to the floor. Now run in place again, but on tiptoe–that's how Little Chick runs. Everyone sit down and let's see what happens. In this book there are sounds like RUFF-RUFF that the dog makes. Let me hear you say that. Great! For Little Chick the sound is tippy-toe, tippy-toe, tippy-toe. Let me hear you say that. Great!
OK, ready?! As I read the book you'll be making these sounds. Listen to the story too and see how smart Little Chick is.
Read the story Tippie-Toe Chick, Go! by George Shannon.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Having your children make the sounds of animals and other sounds helps them develop phonological awareness, being able to hear the smaller sounds in words. This is so important when they later try to sound out words.
Children's names or any wordsMay 30, 2008 on 1:13 am | In 2's and 3's, 4's and 5's, Adult Aside, Age Levels, Example Aside, Explain Aside, Movement Activities, Storytime Component | No Comments
Early Literacy Aside:–Explain: Separating a word into sound parts is called segmentation. Playing with words this way with your children now will help your children later when they learn to break words into syllables to decode words.
Clap childen's names or choose words with different numbers of syllables.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Clapping or tapping helps children hear parts of words which will make it easier for them to sound out words when they learn to read.

Talk about how what is special to one person might not be special to another. People see things and use things differently.
Read the book Thank You Bear by Greg Foley.
Activity: Pull out a cardboard box and have the children act out the story. You are the bear. There can be as many monkeys, owls, elephants, etc. as there are children who want to be that animal. Then talk together about the many things you can do with a box.
Early Literacy Aside–Example: Acting out stories and having children say parts helps develop their narrative skills, the expressive part of language. Retelling stories is one way that children will later more easily understand what they read. If your child did not get a chance to talk about how they might use a box, listen to their ideas on the way home.
Early Literacy Aside–Empower: Here is a handout for making stick puppets. Using props or puppets is one fun way to encourage children to retell stories at home. It is activities like this that you do with your children that set them on a strong road to reading, in this case helping them understand what they read and how stories work!
Puppets: Patterns for making stick puppets. The pattern for the mouse is here, but I use a mouse puppet. The pattern for a bear is also here, but I make myself the bear when I am retelling it with these stick puppets.

Data Frame in Python
Exploring some Python Packages and R packages to move /work with both Python and R without melting your brain or exceeding your project deadline
If you liked the data.frame structure in R, you have some way to work with them at a faster processing speed in Python.
Here are three packages that enable you to do so-
(1) pydataframe http://code.google.com/p/pydataframe/
An implemention of an almost R like DataFrame object. (install via Pypi/Pip: "pip install pydataframe")
Usage:u = DataFrame( { "Field1": [1, 2, 3], "Field2": ['abc', 'def', 'hgi']}, optional: ['Field1', 'Field2'] ["rowOne", "rowTwo", "thirdRow"])
A DataFrame is basically a table with rows and columns.
Columns are named, rows are numbered (but can be named) and can be easily selected and calculated upon. Internally, columns are stored as 1d numpy arrays. If you set row names, they're converted into a dictionary for fast access. There is a rich subselection/slicing API, see help(DataFrame.get_item) (it also works for setting values). Please note that any slice get's you another DataFrame, to access individual entries use get_row(), get_column(), get_value().
DataFrames also understand basic arithmetic and you can either add (multiply,…) a constant value, or another DataFrame of the same size / with the same column names, like this:
#multiply every value in ColumnA that is smaller than 5 by 6. my_df[my_df[:,'ColumnA'] < 5, 'ColumnA'] *= 6 #you always need to specify both row and column selectors, use : to mean everything my_df[:, 'ColumnB'] = my_df[:,'ColumnA'] + my_df[:, 'ColumnC'] #let's take every row that starts with Shu in ColumnA and replace it with a new list (comprehension) select = my_df.where(lambda row: row['ColumnA'].startswith('Shu')) my_df[select, 'ColumnA'] = [row['ColumnA'].replace('Shu', 'Sha') for row in my_df[select,:].iter_rows()]
Dataframes talk directly to R via rpy2 (rpy2 is not a prerequiste for the library!)
(2) pandas http://pandas.pydata.org/
Library Highlights
- A fast and efficient DataFrame object for data manipulation with integrated indexing;
- Tools for reading and writing data between in-memory data structures and different formats: CSV and text files, Microsoft Excel, SQL databases, and the fast HDF5 format;
- Intelligent data alignment and integrated handling of missing data: gain automatic label-based alignment in computations and easily manipulate messy data into an orderly form;
- Flexible reshaping and pivoting of data sets;
- Intelligent label-based slicing, fancy indexing, and subsetting of large data sets;
- Columns can be inserted and deleted from data structures for size mutability;
- Aggregating or transforming data with a powerful group by engine allowing split-apply-combine operations on data sets;
- High performance merging and joining of data sets;
- Hierarchical axis indexing provides an intuitive way of working with high-dimensional data in a lower-dimensional data structure;
- Time series-functionality: date range generation and frequency conversion, moving window statistics, moving window linear regressions, date shifting and lagging. Even create domain-specific time offsets and join time series without losing data;
- The library has been ruthlessly optimized for performance, with critical code paths compiled to C;
- Python with pandas is in use in a wide variety of academic and commercial domains, including Finance, Neuroscience, Economics, Statistics, Advertising, Web Analytics, and more.
Why not R?
First of all, we love open source R! It is the most widely-used open source environment for statistical modeling and graphics, and it provided some early inspiration for pandas features. R users will be pleased to find this library adopts some of the best concepts of R, like the foundational DataFrame (one user familiar with R has described pandas as "R data.frame on steroids"). But pandas also seeks to solve some frustrations common to R users:
- R has barebones data alignment and indexing functionality, leaving much work to the user. pandas makes it easy and intuitive to work with messy, irregularly indexed data, like time series data. pandas also provides rich tools, like hierarchical indexing, not found in R;
- R is not well-suited to general purpose programming and system development. pandas enables you to do large-scale data processing seamlessly when developing your production applications;
- Hybrid systems connecting R to a low-productivity systems language like Java, C++, or C# suffer from significantly reduced agility and maintainability, and you're still stuck developing the system components in a low-productivity language;
- The "copyleft" GPL license of R can create concerns for commercial software vendors who want to distribute R with their software under another license. Python and pandas use more permissive licenses.
(3) datamatrix http://pypi.python.org/pypi/datamatrix/0.8
datamatrix 0.8
A Pythonic implementation of R's data.frame structure.
Latest Version: 0.9
This module allows access to comma- or other delimiter separated files as if they were tables, using a dictionary-like syntax. DataMatrix objects can be manipulated, rows and columns added and removed, or even transposed

Using Rapid Miner and R for Sports Analytics #rstats
Ajay- Why did you choose Rapid Miner and R? What were the other software alternatives you considered and discarded?
Analyst- We considered most of the other major players in statistics/data mining or enterprise BI. However, we found that the value proposition for an open source solution was too compelling to justify the premium pricing that the commercial solutions would have required. The widespread adoption of R and the variety of packages and algorithms available for it, made it an easy choice. We liked RapidMiner as a way to design structured, repeatable processes, and the ability to optimize learner parameters in a systematic way. It also handled large data sets better than R on 32-bit Windows did. The GUI, particularly when 5.0 was released, made it more usable than R for analysts who weren't experienced programmers.
Ajay- What analytics do you do think Rapid Miner and R are best suited for?
Analyst- We use RM+R mainly for sports analysis so far, rather than for more traditional business applications. It has been quite suitable for that, and I can easily see how it would be used for other types of applications.
Ajay- Any experiences as an enterprise customer? How was the installation process? How good is the enterprise level support?
Analyst- Rapid-I has been one of the most responsive tech companies I've dealt with, either in my current role or with previous employers. They are small enough to be able to respond quickly to requests, and in more than one case, have fixed a problem, or added a small feature we needed within a matter of days. In other cases, we have contracted with them to add larger pieces of specific functionality we needed at reasonable consulting rates. Those features are added to the mainline product, and become fully supported through regular channels. The longer consulting projects have typically had a turnaround of just a few weeks.
Ajay- What challenges if any did you face in executing a pure open source analytics bundle ?
Analyst- As Rapid-I is a smaller company based in Europe, the availability of training and consulting in the USA isn't as extensive as for the major enterprise software players, and the time zone differences sometimes slow down the communications cycle. There were times where we were the first customer to attempt a specific integration point in our technical environment, and with no prior experiences to fall back on, we had to work with Rapid-I to figure out how to do it. Compared to the what traditional software vendors provide, both R and RM tend to have sparse, terse, occasionally incomplete documentation. The situation is getting better, but still lags behind what the traditional enterprise software vendors provide.
Ajay- What are the things you can do in R ,and what are the things you prefer to do in Rapid Miner (comparison for technical synergies)
Analyst- Our experience has been that RM is superior to R at writing and maintaining structured processes, better at handling larger amounts of data, and more flexible at fine-tuning model parameters automatically. The biggest limitation we've had with RM compared to R is that R has a larger library of user-contributed packages for additional data mining algorithms. Sometimes we opted to use R because RM hadn't yet implemented a specific algorithm. The introduction the R extension has allowed us to combine the strengths of both tools in a very logical and productive way.
In particular, extending RapidMiner with R helped address RM's weakness in the breadth of algorithms, because it brings the entire R ecosystem into RM (similar to how Rapid-I implemented much of the Weka library early on in RM's development). Further, because the R user community releases packages that implement new techniques faster than the enterprise vendors can, this helps turn a potential weakness into a potential strength. However, R packages tend to be of varying quality, and are more prone to go stale due to lack of support/bug fixes. This depends heavily on the package's maintainer and its prevalence of use in the R community. So when RapidMiner has a learner with a native implementation, it's usually better to use it than the R equivalent.
Anonymous grows up and matures…Anonanalytics.com
I liked the design, user interfaces and the conceptual ideas behind the latest Anonymous hactivist websites (much better than the shabby graphic design of Wikileaks, or Friends of Wikileaks, though I guess they have been busy what with Julian's escapades and Syrian emails)
I disagree (and let us agree to disagree some of the time)
with the complete lack of respect for Graphical User Interfaces for tools. If dDOS really took off due to LOIC, why not build a GUI for SQL Injection (or atleats the top 25 vulnerability testing as by this list http://www.sans.org/top25-software-errors/
Shouldnt Tor be embedded within the next generation of Loic.
Automated testing tools are used by companies like Adobe (and others)… so why not create simple GUI for the existing tools.., I may be completely offtrack here.. but I think hacker education has been a critical misstep[ that has undermined Western Democracies preparedness for Cyber tactics by hostile regimes)…. how to create the next generation of hackers by easy tutorials (see codeacademy and build appropriate modules)

Webscraping using iMacros
The noted Diamonds dataset in the ggplot2 package of R is actually culled from the website http://www.diamondse.info/diamond-prices.asp
However it has ~55000 diamonds, while the whole Diamonds search engine has almost ten times that number. Using iMacros – a Google Chrome Plugin, we can scrape that data (or almost any data). The iMacros chrome plugin is available at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cplklnmnlbnpmjogncfgfijoopmnlemp while notes on coding are at http://wiki.imacros.net
Imacros makes coding as easy as recording macro and the code is automatcially generated for whatever actions you do. You can set parameters to extract only specific parts of the website, and code can be run into a loop (of 9999 times!)
Here is the iMacros code-Note you need to navigate to the web site http://www.diamondse.info/diamond-prices.asp before running it
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:paginate_enabled_next
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=test+3
and voila- all the diamonds you need to analyze!
The returning data can be read using the standard delimiter data munging in the language of SAS or R.

The Review of Public Procurement in Scotland recommended that an open market environment supported by a single public sector electronic portal should be established. Suppliers must be able to access all essential information on opportunities to offer services and bid for contracts for the supply of commodities and services to the whole public sector in Scotland.
The national advertising portal - Public Contracts Scotland- has been established in response to the recommendation. This portal enables the Council to advertise all contracting opportunities, irrespective of value.
Adverts which must be published on the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) website will also be submitted through the portal to the Publications Office of the European Commission.
The portal allows documents to be attached to the notice for example Pre-Qualification Questionnaires, Invitation To Tender documentation etc.
Suppliers can view the contract notices and in addition if registered, can receive free e-alerts notifying them of contract opportunities relevant to their business.
All contract opportunities valued at over Ł10,000 are required to be advertised through Public Contracts Scotland as detailed in the Procurement Journey.
Contract opportunities below Ł10,000 in value should be considered for advertising where this will support the Council's policy objectives and the exercise can demonstrate best value as detailed in the Procurement Journey
Please note the portal is not an e-tendering system.
Regulation 8(21) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2012 states that in awarding any public contract, where EC Treaty principles require it, public bodies should "ensure a degree of advertising and follow a procedure leading to the award of the contract which is sufficient to enable open and fair competition". Advertising contract opportunities on the portal will assist the Council comply with this legal obligation.
The European Directive, 2004/18/EC, and subsequently the UK Public Contracts Regulations (2006) set out a clear set of requirements for purchasers. However, both sets of legislation allow a "light touch" approach to the procurement of certain services. These are known as Part B services. Part B tenders must comply with the regulations in that they must be "adequately advertised", must include a technical specification, and feedback must be available.
Underpinning the legislation are the requirements of the Treaties of Maastricht and Lisbon. Here Articles 81 and 82 are relevant. The Treaties and UK competition law require that nothing be done which in any way prevents, restricts or distorts competition.
Therefore, although a contract may be for services which fall under Part B of procurement legislation, it is likely that it will be caught by the Treaty requirements and thus tendering for the services to be purchased becomes necessary.

Alternate names
Flax, common flax, flaxseed, linseed, Alsi or teesi (Hindi, Gujarati, and Punjabi), Ali vidai in Tamil , Atasi, and Jawas in Marathi, Tishi in Bengali, Pesi in Oriya, Agasi in Kannada, Avise ginzalu in Telugu, and Cheruchana vithu in Malayalam.
What is Flaxseed and How does it look?
Flax seed is a glossy, reddish-brown, nutritive seed containing 30 – 45% oil. Flax seed derives from the annual herb flax, or Linum usitatissimum and is believed to be native to Europe and Eastern Asia or perhaps Egypt. Employed since ancient times for its fiber, the flax plant is the source of linen, formerly the world's most popular textile.
Flax seeds come in two basic varieties:
(1) brown and
(2) yellow or golden.
Most types have similar nutritional characteristics and equal amounts of short-chainomega-3 fatty acids. The exception is a type of yellow flax called Linola or solin, which has a completely different oil profile and is very low in omega-3. Although brown flax can be consumed as readily as yellow, and has been for thousands of years, it is better known as an ingredient in paints, fiber and cattle feed. Flax seeds produce avegetable oil known as flaxseed or linseed oil, which is one of the oldest commercial oils and solvent-processed flax seed oil has been used for centuries as a drying oil in painting and varnishing
Benefits of Flaxseed/Linseed?
It may be tiny, but it's mighty: The flax seed carries one of the biggest nutrient payloads on the planet. And while it's not technically a grain, it has a similar vitamin and mineral profile to grains, while the amount of fiber, antioxidants, and Omega-3 fatty acids in flax leaves grains in the dust.
Benefits of Flaxseed Oil
The below is the list of benefits the oil might help to accomplish (source: essortment.com)
Who Shouldn't Use Flaxseed?
Until more is known, pregnant women and possibly breastfeeding mothers should not supplement their diets with ground flaxseed. (source: webmd.com)
Tips for Using Flaxseed
And how much flaxseed do you need?
The optimum dose to obtain health benefits is not yet known. But 1-2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed a day is currently the suggested dose, according to the Flax Council of Canada.
How to use Flaxseed?
How to Buy and Store Flaxseed?
You can buy it online at Amazon
Flax Seed Safety and Side Effects
Concerns about flax seed revolve around four potential issues. However, remember that a lot of research about the wonders of flax show little or no problems from eating it –- to the contrary, it has shown many benefits.
i will try for cholesterol-lowering effects , then i will come with results. This type of natural medicine help the people to avoid side effects.
very useful details.thanks a lot.
Gave an excellent idea to make tasty snack with less oil. we can use paneer or slightly fried mushroom with potatoes to add protein for kids.

Where Is Musician Glenn Miller's AirPlane ?
One plane that has not been mentioned in the news since is the most famous one is the story of Glenn Miller.
Glenn Miller was the most famous musician for swing and big band music.
He disappeared in action December 15, 1944.
Glen Miller was flying from England too Paris, France.
Glenn Miller was supposed to do a concert there for the soldiers, but, his airplane supposedly downed over the English channel.
It is strange that they located the unsinkable Titanic and other ships in deep seas, but no one has ever managed to find the smaller plane that Glenn Miller disaapeared in, especially with all the new technology that is available.
The US Govenment is spending millions of dollars to find
Malayasian Flight 370, maybe they can come up with the spare change to locate The Great American Legend,
Glenn Miller and bury him at home.

Often, anti-gun zealots try and advocate restrictive gun control measures by claiming that they're uncomfortable with "untrained" people with guns in their community. However, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a special kind of zealot.
Though he has talked about the destruction wrought upon his town by Hurricane Sandy and expressed a desire to recover, he recently refused help from the National Guard because- get this- he doesn't want armed personnel in his city.
Bloomberg is not above capitalizing on tragic events to spout his anti-gun rhetoric. In the wake of the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Bloomberg was one of the first to politicize the tragedy by blaming loose gun control restrictions as a major factor in the carnage in the movie theater. Now, as New Yorkers put together parts of their city and remain endangered by the stretched-thin presence of an overwhelmed police department, Mayor Bloomberg has opened his mouth again to deny the city the kind of help it needs because his hatred of guns is greater than his commitment to New Yorkers.
You may remember Bloomberg as the man who actually advocated that police officers go on strike until citizens give up their right to keep and bear arms. As America mourned the tragedy in Aurora, Bloomberg appeared on Piers Morgan Live to trample on the right that protects all the others and said,
"I don't understand why police officers across this country don't stand up, collectively, and say, 'We're going to go on strike. We're not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what's required to keep us safe."
In response to pleas by the Brooklyn borough president for National Guard personnel to quell the lawlessness occurring in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Bloomberg stated,
"We don't need it. The NYPD is the only people we want on the street with guns."
Sure, that makes sense. Since the NYPD is able to effectively stop 100% of crimes, then there is no reason for the National Guard to come in and help with the recovery effort in an urban area hit by a hurricane.
Does that sound crazy to anybody else, or is it just me?
The level of anti-gun fanaticism illustrated by Mayor Bloomberg is reckless and it promises to needlessly endanger the inhabitants of New York City. After natural disasters, these areas become havens for lawlessness as police and emergency responders are stretched thin. Bloomberg is endangering these citizens.

Hi! I started a new thread just in case the one from yesterday got too far down, and I suck at PMing.
I know you mentioned that you want to try yogurt but LO isn't big on it or spoon feeding. I know some might think its weird, but I just give E the Ella's Kitchen pouches like the one pictured below (her fav flavor). She sucks on them like a straw and will crush it in a few minutes time. I am kinda grossed out by the eating straight from the pouch on the veggie/savory flavors, but it works so well for a quick yogurt/fruit snack!! Maybe give it a shot? They are sold at Target and Stop & Shop near us.
At least this way you can see how she tolerates it, then work up to different ways of incorporating yogurt into her diet.
Ohh and about Italy! I have been before, but H hasn't. We are going to Rome, somewhere in Tuscany (haven't decided where just yet), Venice, then flying to Palermo, Sicily for a few days. I am so excited! Getting E her passport today Where did you stay in Venice? We are booking all of our hotels this week and would love some recommendations. Grazie!
That's a good suggestion! I will have to pick some up next time I am out. Thanks!
I would not recommend where we stayed in Venice which was the Gardena Hotel. It was pretty outdated, the carpet was dirty/smelly, and the place was really expensive for what it was (I know that's how Venice is but it really wasn't good). The area of the hotel was great b/c that's near where the bus/train station is and we had a really early flight home. It also has lots of nice stores and restaurants, it was really just the hotel we didn't care for. Not sure how long you are planning on staying in Venice but I think 2 days is good. There's not that much to do compared to other areas. It was really cool to see and we enjoyed our time there, so I'm glad we went. Some people had told us not to bother with it but for me, it was a place I just HAD to see.
In Rome, we did a VRBO close to the coliseum. I could figure out which one if you are interested. It was a 1 bed with kitchenette, living room, and roof deck. I liked that area and we were really close to a train stop. We lived in Chicago at the time and Rome is a busy city so we were glad this was our first stop on the trip. It allowed us to see such amazing things and then to have time relaxing in the other locations before returning home to another busy city. We had considered doing Rome last and I'm glad we didn't.
In Florence, we stayed at Hotel Consigli and really liked it. We had one of the terrace rooms. The terrace was HUGE as was our room. The floors were wood herringbone and we had a great view of the river and bridge. It is a bit of a walk from the attractions so that could be hard with E. For us, it was nice strolling along the river to get home but we didn't have L at the time. There's not a ton of places to eat right by this hotel so we usually ate before going home for the night or picked up some delicious wine, cheese, bread, etc. and ate on the terrace. There were fridges in the room which was nice. The breakfast here was really good. I will say that we talked to a few other people who had booked the cheapest rooms in the hotel and they were not that excited about the place b/c their room was small. I think you have to splurge for the nicer rooms if you want to stay here. There's other rooms with cool vaulted ceilings but without terraces that people were raving about. We did 2 day trips out to the smaller towns in Tuscany and had a blast.... mmmm.... wine
Let me know if you have other Qs. Hope you have an amazing trip!

From a creative photo display fashioned from chicken wire to a coat rack made from yard sticks, we asked bloggers to share their creative DIY home decor ideas.
(17 Photos)
Mimi O'Connor
Aug 4, 2014 at 3:11PM
Cut picture frame or household moulding to desired size of display area, spray paint, and let dry. Measure chicken wire to length and width of moulding and cut to size. Nail the top of frame into wall, using a level to make sure it is straight. Staple the chicken wire into place, and nail the remaining frame pieces along the edges. Use clothespins to hand snapshots, art, etc. The Blogger: natalme.com Why It's Smart: This is an easy photo display that you can make as big as you want, that also allows you to swap out pics whenever the mood strikes. (A lot easier than redoing a gallery wall of frames.) Level of Difficulty: Medium. Best done with a partner who can hold the wire in place while you staple. Takes around three hours.

Key Program Efforts
Building Partnerships
The Alaska Alliance for Healthy Kids is committed to preventing childhood obesity in Alaska.
To learn more about the Alaska Alliance for Healthy Kids, visit www.akhealthykids.org.
To prevent childhood obesity, the Alaska Alliance for Healthy Kids engages a full complement of committed individuals in efforts to reduce childhood obesity and improve children's health in Alaska. The Alliance membership represents individuals, families, communities, schools, worksites, health care, public education, media, industry, and government and non-government organizations committed to preventing childhood obesity and improving the health of Alaskans.
The Alliance formed to expand the reach of an interagency taskforce of leaders in the health and education fields called Alaskans Taking on Childhood Obesity (ATCO). Since the members of ATCO understood that childhood obesity is caused by a complex array of factors and that the solution would require a comprehensive, coordinated, long-term approach, they recommended establishing an alliance to guide, coordinate and expand the reach of childhood obesity prevention efforts. The State of Alaska Obesity Prevention and Control Program assists the Alliance and the program staff provides the physical activity and nutrition expertise.

Financial Aid >> Browse Articles >> FAFSA
What Do You Do If Your Application for a FAFSA PIN is Rejected?
Mark Kantrowitz
October 24, 2011
If you get an email message that says "Your request for a Federal Student Aid PIN cannot be processed because the Social Security Number (SSN), name, or date of birth that you provided on your PIN application does not match your information on file at the Social Security Administration (SSA)… If you are sure that the SSN, name, and date of birth used to apply for the PIN are correct, you must contact the SSA to resolve any problems with their records." What should you do? — Erika B.
The Federal Student Aid PIN is used to sign the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) electronically, correct errors on the Student Aid Report (SAR), review the student's financial aid history at the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), access entrance and exit counseling for the Direct Loan program and sign electronic promissory notes for the Direct Loan program.
A PIN may be obtained at www.pin.ed.gov using the student's Social Security Number, name and date of birth. This information is compared with Social Security Administration (SSA) records and must be an exact match, per section 484(p) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and the regulations at 34 CFR 668.32(i) and 34 CFR 668.36. The data match typically takes 1-3 days. If there is a mismatch, the application for a PIN will be rejected.
A mismatch can occur because of an error in the information the student supplied in the PIN application or because of an error in the Social Security Administration database.
Double check to make sure your name, Social Security Number and date of birth are an exact match for the information on your Social Security card.
Verify that there aren't any typos in the Social Security Number, such as a digit transposition or substitution. Also double check that the student is submitting his or her Social Security Number, not the Social Security Number of a parent or sibling.
The name on the PIN application must match the student's full legal name as it appears on the student's Social Security card. Do not use a nickname, altered spelling or any other name. Use the full name, not initials. (For example, a student whose legal name is Kristina Carol must submit the PIN application with her full legal name, not K.C. or Casey.) Sometimes students don't realize that their legal name is different from the name they've been using, so it is best to retrieve the Social Security card to verify the spelling of the name. If a student has changed her name because of marriage or divorce, but has not yet updated her name with the Social Security Administration, she will need to either update her name with Social Security Administration or file the FAFSA with her legal name. Unless and until you change your name with the Social Security Administration, you have to use that name to obtain a PIN and complete the FAFSA.
Verify that the student's date of birth is entered correctly. Common errors include submitting the current date instead of the birth date or the current year instead of the birth year. Sometimes students submit the date with month and day swapped.
The PIN application will be rejected if the Social Security Number record includes a date of death. This problem will need to be corrected with the Social Security Administration.
The PIN application will also be rejected if some information is missing, such as the student's last name or date of birth.

The Bahrain Grand Prix will be a night event in 2014, it was confirmed on Wednesday.
The floodlights that will be used during the April 6 race were trialled at the World Endurance Championship race last November.
Both qualifying and the race will start at 6pm local time (4pm GMT), while Friday's first practice starts at 2pm local time, second practice from 6pm and Saturday's practice at 3pm.
"This is by far the biggest development project we have ever undertaken at the BIC since the circuit was first built," Chief Executive of the Bahrain International Circuit Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al-Khalifa said.
The infrastructure that hosts the lighting system around the 5.4km track is vast and contains over 500km of cabling and 495 lighting poles of varying heights - the tallest is 45m.
"I believe that there can be no better way for us to mark our tenth anniversary in F1 by demonstrating our long term commitment to the sport through this significant investment, cementing our place as the home of motorsport in the Middle East," Al-Khalifa continued.
