"I never said half the things I said," Yogi Berra once said. Or at least it's said that Yogi Berra said it. That's the trouble with Yogi Berra: he's the gold standard for colorful malapropisms, and eventually any particularly funny malapropism will be attributed to Yogi Berra, whether he said it or not. I won't be surprised if I see some of the sayings of Mrs. Malaprop herself attributed to Yogi Berra.
I suspect it's the same way with Arthur. He was the great hero of Britain, the standard against which every other hero was measured. If there was a good old heroic story being told around the campfires, eventually Arthur would become the hero of it.
Geoffrey of Monmouth places Arthur's last battle in the year 542. There had been no Roman Emperor in the West since 476, and there was never an emperor named Lucius. If there was a historical Arthur, and he was the victor of Badon, he certainly never set out from Britain to conquer Rome.
But other men did, and it's quite possible that their stories have got themselves absorbed into Arthur's.
The most famous, of course, was Constantine the Great. He was in Britain when the legions proclaimed him Emperor, and, setting off from there, he did succeed eventually in conquering the whole Empire.
He wasn't the only one who set out from Britain with imperial ambitions. Maximus, whom Gildas despised so much that he actually gives us his name, set out from Britain to take the Empire, though without the unqualified success of Constantine. There were other Britons, too, who meddled in Continental affairs. The Arthurian expert Geoffrey Ashe is a big fan of Riothamus, a British warlord who apparently had considerable success in Gaul.
Any or all of these heroes might have contributed his own feats to the story of Arthur. If I'm right about the way Geoffrey worked, he didn't just make up the story of Arthur and Lucius. He would have taken it from some earlier tradition. But I think the earlier traditions are too mixed up by the time they get to Geoffrey for us to make any more definite conclusion. We can only suspect that they come from some half-remembered feat of some famous British hero who had the misfortune of being almost as good as Arthur.
There is, however, one interesting detail in Geoffrey's account that sounds almost historical. Constantine succeeds Arthur, and we remember that there was actually a Constantine ruling some part of Britain in Gildas' time. He was an awful villain, according to Gildas, but he was a Constantine. Could that be Geoffrey's Constantine?

No, however they may have to consider the actual cost (in actual dollars) of implementing their idiotic plan. What do you think the actual cost of one day of these shenanigans is to the government?

Re:Photonical engineering (92 comments)
I took a biophotonics course at university. The reason they don't teach this much: its dense, and extremely difficult. While the equations might look pretty in Transmission / Waves class, when you actually get down to the scale of molecules and the like, with all of the complications that entails, it is virtually impossible to make meaningful sense of the mathematical results. The best you can do is a computer simulation, which is occasionally useful, and of course test in the lab.

Re:Cap & Trade = Energy Rationing (874 comments)
I, like you, see our destruction of the environment as a debt to future generations and actions must be taken to protect the world for the future, however, please consider the fact that our children won't have a future if we've spent out economy into oblivion. If you are ok with the United States going up to 25% unemployment again, people by the tens-of-millions living on the streets on in shelters, and your children having little to no education (or an advantage really) to speak of all for the protection of the environment, then I guess such considerations need not be made.
I believe this to be a false choice. You seem to imply that the current implementation proposed would cause a complete economic disaster. I do not see this as the case. Other countries have done what we are proposing, in fact the rest of the developed world with the exception of China have done it.
Re:it's really bad (677 comments)
This is "teaching to the test" at its worst. Proofs are on the exams to get money. Improved curriculum doesn't do anything if the standardized exams don't change too. I had plenty of good teachers, who wanted to teach - and ended up basically prepping students to perform well on standardized exams just so funding wouldn't get slashed.
While we are on the subject - the whole public school system is no longer really teaching kids anything of value. Its basically an expensive babysitting service. What exactly is a high school graduate qualified for anymore?
Imaging and resolution (71 comments)
This is really sweet. If you've ever looked at some of the images that researchers produce when trying to get an idea of where in a cell things are going on using GFP - this image is really clean. An AAAS webinar on the subject recently seemed to indicate that most of the improvements have come about due to how the image is processed. In any case this calls for a big congrats to the researchers.
Actual application in spinning storage? (105 comments)
I suspect never. Very high pressures + spinning media doesn't work particularly well. Not to say this investigation will not lead to some interesting condensed matter physics, which in turn could lead to actual discoveries that make it to market.

The measure will mean that details of personal internet and text traffic, but not the content, will have to be made available by telecommunications companies to public sector officials investigating crime, or to "protect the public".

This is justified on the grounds that much of the information is already stored as billing information by the companies.
I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this is a Bad Thing. I would like to ask how far will people let their government go in the name of "protecting the public" before they start asking for protection from the government?
On the other hand, I think it could generally be a good thing, if implemented in the right way. Perhaps with a little taste of radical transparency in government this could be useful. If this goes through, could we publish the location/content of all the SMS/emails initiated from/to all government employees? If there is no expectation of privacy (for anyone), and they have done nothing wrong, then they have nothing to hide right?
On another note, what is the over under on how long till this program gets abused for something incredibly ridiculous? My prediction — three weeks till a govt. employee gets busted tracking their daughters/sons/wife's SMS and email for no good reason."

I raise the issue not to bash OK, nor to start a flame war. However, I believe it raises some interesting questions. What should be the legislatures role in determining school standards? It seems clear to me that our legislators lack an understanding of science fundamentals which is prerequisite to passing laws that make even an ounce of sense. What steps do we the informed electorate need to take to open a dialog with our government about science education. Of course there is the "contact your congresscritter". Since there's little we can do once they are elected, how might we go about opening a more sincere dialog during the election process to raise issues which are important to the scientific community?
Each "red team" was to try to compromise the accuracy, security, and integrity of the voting systems without making assumptions about compensating controls or procedural mitigation measures that vendors, the Secretary of State, or individual counties may have adopted. The red teams demonstrated that, under these conditions, the technology and security of all three systems could be compromised.
If thats not bad enough:
The key one is that the results presented in this study should be seen as a "lower bound"; all team members felt that they lacked sufficient time to conduct a thorough examination, and consequently may have missed other serious vulnerabilities.
Oh and they were able to overwrite the firmware on each machine without trouble.... more than a little disturbing.
In addition, the 7200.2 comes with Seagate's new free fall sensor called G-Force Protection, it offers a wider operating temperature range, and comes with a comforting five year manufacturer's warranty. The 7200.2 also is one of the most expensive notebook hard drives, at $240. In contrast, we found the Fujitsu drive for as little as $140, and Toshiba's 160 GB product is available for only $120. Seagate wins, but it makes its product hardly affordable, which I guess makes the decision a bit more difficult.

The Zutlers are unusual. Most families don't tackle family policy guidelines until the company is flooded with relatives or "until a benign event occurs, such as when the founder faces the succession issue," says Ron Norelli, founder of Norelli & Co., a business consulting firm in Charlotte, North Carolina.
That's what the Gersh family did when father Max decided to retire from Maxons Restorations Inc., the Manhattan, New York, emergency property-damage restoration firm he and his son, Damon, founded 10 years ago. The Gershes' business had almost been toppled once before because of the blurring between business and family policies. "If we had some family guidelines when my older brother David joined the firm several years ago, maybe it would have worked out," says Damon. "We would've set ourselves up for success if everyone's expectations had been addressed in advance. But we didn't do that, and it was a blessing that my brother did an inventory of what he wanted and decided to leave the business. At least we preserved--maybe even strengthened--our personal relationship."
In light of their almost disastrous experience operating without family policy guidelines, the pair did things very differently when Max announced he wanted to retire. Damon and his father scheduled meetings to deal with issues before they became problems. "What resulted from those discussions was a formalized process for the transition," says Damon. "As a result, the succession was very easy."
It's most treacherous to set policy when a legal, financial or family crisis is looming. In this scenario, you're typically under tremendous time pressures that don't allow you to fully explore options and examine the consequences of a decision rationally. Sometimes, if you're lucky, things might turn out all right--for a while. Too often, however, family businesses under the gun set policies they wind up regretting.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tug!
Facts about Tug
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Tug's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Tug is a very handsome little fellow. He will be a really smart guy when he grows up. He will make a great new family member.
Other Pets at Ward Animal Shelter Volunteers-Maryland
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tug, a Boonsboro Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Boonsboro, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Boonsboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Boonsboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Boonsboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Boonsboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Pure JS Image Gallery no libraries, no plugins
Hello guys,
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am trying to create an image gallery in javascript without the use of jquery, mootools or any other library. The tutorials out there and even the javascript books I own all use jquery or other library.
I currently have some thumbnails and when clicked, they should display a bigger image in a selected space.
The image gallery is to be looped and to start automatically while being controlled by buttons or thumbnails. What is the best way to go about this, please bear in mind that I am quite new javascript itself.

after having have created my own, i would use jQuery if i had to do it again.
look at the spaghetti of dom and event code i used in the source of http://danml.com/pub/photos.htm . granted, much of it is for zooming, which you didn't mention, but consistently sizing things in the dom is a real PITA.
the code is a couple years old at this point, and i would write it better now, but it should give you an idea. Feel free to rip off chunks if it helps.
My advice would be to first write out every feature you need in english. Under each feature, write out english programming outlines on how you plan to accomplish the feature. Once you have a complete plan, pick a feature, most important first, anmd start coding. Cross off each section when you successfully add the feature and it doesn't break old functionality. Without libraries, there's gonna be a whole lot of little chunks. Planning is a big, if boring, part of writing a great app.

Thanks for your help, I will give it a go and let you know how it works out. Left to me as well I would use jquery or some other library but as it is not allowed in this case, I'll go with your suggestions. Again thanks.

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Try an embellished band like Kirsten Dunst's to add a dramatic, feminine touch to an otherwise low-key look. "The feeling Kirsten and I were going for was flirty and undone," said her hairstylist Marcus Francis. Go for a similar look by using your accessory as an anchor. Position the headband first, then start twisting and pinning sections upward, close to the headband. And don't worry about perfect placement. "Subtle flyaways add to this style, making it wearable and modern," Francis added.

Chalara dieback of ash is a serious disease of ash trees caused by a fungus called Chalara fraxinea (C. fraxinea). The disease causes leaf loss and crown dieback in affected trees, and it can lead to tree death. For further information on this disease please visit our Pests and diseases page.
We are treating the C. fraxinea fungus as a 'quarantine' plant pathogen, which means that we can take legally enforceable action to contain or eradicate the fungus when it is found.
We have sent out letters to our customers whose trees or woodlands may be at risk, a copy of the letter and further information are available on this web page.
Chalara dieback of ash - Reports
We are very grateful for your report (as a response to our letter or otherwise). We are working through the backlog of reports we have and are sorry that we may not be able to respond to each report individually but every one of them will assessed and for each report we will –
- decide it isn't Chalara die back of ash; or
- ask for more information which may include requesting photographs or more detail; or
- arrange for someone to do a further investigation onsite.
The disease does not spread via spores from the fungus during the winter so we have the time to carefully examine each report. It is our priority to destroy recently planted trees but mature trees with the disease do not need to be felled.

The saying "If you want something done right, do it yourself" rings true for for the staff at Savarna's Beauty Spa?who, unsatisfied with current serums on the market, decided to create their own line of skincare. Sarvanas Mantra combines botanical ingredients with the latest skincare technology, resulting in products that both nourish and improve complexions. These serums may be used in tandem with any number of high-tech services, from microdermabrasions to collagen-boosting ultrasonic treatments. Trained specialists also turn their hand to enhancing natural beauty with eyebrow threading, makeup applications, henna tattoos, and a vast variety of lashes that are customized for each client. The beauty spa has several convenient locations to choose from, all of which maintain a high level of pampering.
Vicky Barger transforms hairstyles from her styling chair, taking flat hair to fuller heights and adding dimension or volume to lackluster hairdos. Barger was drawn to the salon thanks to its "wonderful atmosphere with professional stylists and an awesome boss." The salon's stylists possess a wealth of beauty-industry experience, including owner Barry Menser's 30 years behind the chair, and each employee practices their own specialty. Barger's specialty is color, and she often sweeps brushes saturated with custom-mixed Matrix, J Beverly Hills, and Schwarzkopf hues through monochromatic strands after meeting with clients in a thorough consultation and tucking encouraging notes inside their headbands. As hair is reborn in new, more fashionable formations, clients can eye the salon's serene images of boats and ballet and sip complimentary cups of tea, cocoa, and soda.
Sundays Blue Box Tanning Resort's fleet of European-imported tanning equipment polishes pallid epidermal canvases into glowing, copper sculptures. Sun Angel photoelectric sensors analyze guests' skin tones to calculate the optimal temperature and time needed to bronze bodily temples without overbaking them. A bouquet of herbal body washes and creamy lotions from Jordan Rae, Signature, and Ed Hardy enhance clients' natural-looking copper hues. In addition to tanning services, Sundays' team helps guests lose inches and ease pain with PhysEdge Fit infrared body wraps, which work in tandem with the Fit Booster mineral spray to burn up to 1400 calories. Early morning and evening hours at all of Sundays' 18 locations ensure guests will never again be mistaken for a scared polar bear.
Salters Creek serves as an intimate mini getaway from daily doldrums with a full array of relaxing and beautifying services. Glycolic acid, the most miniature of the alpha-hydroxies, mines clogged-up pores during a 60-minute facial package designed to unearth the shining ore of beautiful skin. The initial peel sweeps away aged and sun-damaged cells to reveal the fresh, pure dermis beneath. Then, ultrasonic exfoliating therapy harnesses high-frequency oscillations to shatter blemishes exactly like an opera singer screaming in a funhouse mirror maze. The peel finishes with a Thermogel cooling mask, hydrating and nourishing post-peel skin surfaces.
The stylists and aestheticians at Bobbie Glen Hair Salon aim to provide clients with trendy, innovative, and high-quality care. Keratin smoothing treatments add luster to locks while eliminating frizz, and France Laure skincare products aid aestheticians in treating all skin types.
At Nail Tech and More, nail-art specialists Dawn, Kandi, and Khym beautify digits with ornate embellishments ranging from Fimo decals to spinning beads. Swarovski crystals, Mylar, and glitter accents set nails a-sparkle, and 3-D designs and junk-nail options turn them into ornate, miniature sculptures. Technicians can even customize nail shape: stiletto nails taper off into fierce points, and corkscrew nails swirl off fingertips and into inconveniently stuck wine corks.
The trio also provides more traditional nailcare services. Manicures spoil hands and feet with treatments such as melted paraffin, hot stones, warm towels, and massages, and acrylic nails and Shellac gel polishes proffer long-lasting color. Alternatively, spray tans and waxing sessions pamper bodies all over.

Bless your heart! Sorry you are feeling so miserable. Sending pixie dust to relieve your symptoms (heard it's more fun than Nyquil!).
I think it is great that you were able to finish the class with all you had on your plate the last few weeks getting ready for, traveling to, and starting your DCP. Congrats that it is done! Get lots of rest, chicken soup, OJ and hang in there! Thanks for taking the time to share your going-ons here.

Jade Starling (born January 19, 1958) is an American singer/songwriter, and the lead vocalist for 1980s band Pretty Poison. She lives in New Jersey. Starling is a gay-rights activist and an avid supporter of same-sex marriage.[1] She also speaks phonetic Spanish and often records songs in both Spanish and English.[2]
Starling has worked very much as a gay-rights activist, performing on behalf of many gay-rights benefits including gay-rights parades and GLBT benefits. She also wrote a song along with Whey Cooler called "Blue Monday" to raise money for the Hurricane victims, which Brook Lapping Productions found, and licensed for their film "Saving Katrina" which aired on 8-27-06, the first anniversary of the hurricane, on the Discovery Channel.[1]
As lead singer of the band Pretty Poison, she saw her hit song "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" become a top ten hit.[3] They rerecorded the song on 1998 album "Euphoria" and it climbed to #43.[citation needed] Later their only other hit to make the charts, "Nightime" came out again (after reaching number 14 on Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1984, being their first charting song) and reached #36.[4] They later performed under the name of Sex in Violets for the album Deflowered.[citation needed] In February 2009, a new song was released called "Finga Lickin' Good (FLG)"; it didn't chart but was released on iTunes. Starling later broke off into a solo career and asked that all tracks with her vocals be credited to "Pretty Poison featuring Jade Starling".[citation needed]
Starling is a songwriter, along with being a singer and has written many songs. Besides her "Blue Monday" (a song written by Whey Cooler and her as an effort to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina victims), she has co-written the tenth track (titled "Proper Nice") on Joss Stone's album "Introducing Joss Stone" in 2007.[1]
Along with reaching #1, #14, #43 and #37 on assorted charts, Starling's band Pretty Poison has received multiple honors. Their biggest hit, "Catch Me I'm Falling" (#1 on dance charts, #8 on Billboard Hot 100) has been featured in many movies, "Kickin It Old School", "Bam Bam & Celeste", "10th & Wolf", "Lord Of The Fans", "Hiding Out",[1] and most recently "Don't Mess With The Zohan" starring Adam Sandler.[citation needed]

61st All India Police Hockey Championship: Gurjeet helps J&K hold Uttrakhand draw, enters QFs
JAMMU, Dec 10: Converting three consecutive penalty corners into goal, the star striker, Gurjeet Singh not only helped the side hold Uttrakhand 3-3 draw but guided J&K Police to quarterfinals of the ongoing 61st All India Police Hockey Championship at K K Hakhu Stadium, here today.
Trailing by three goals, J&K Police fought from behind converting three of the six penalty corners awarded to them in the second half of the play to make it to the quarterfinals stages, considering the goal average.
Earlier, conceding two goals in the first half of the play, host J&K Police had lost hopes of recovering from the early jolt. However, it was Gurjeet who spearhead brought back the team into the match in the remaining 20 minutes of the game.
It was due to change in the strategy to initiate moves instead of launching a direct attack paid dividends the hosts. As many as five penalty corners were awarded in favour of J&K. The first two chances were wasted by the penalty corner experts.
It was only after Gurjeet took the center stage and successfully converted three back to back penalty corners into goal to make it a 3-3 draw.
The high voltage contest ended with J&K Police missing out on another goal chance that came their way two minute before the final hotter was sounded. This time the move was foiled by the Uttrakhand goal-keeper. From Uttrakhand, Manoj Singh scored two goals while Pankaj Kumar added one goal.
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Police also made it to the quarterfinals from group-A after Haryana lost to ITBP in the league tie today.
Earlier, the SSB, Chattisgarh and Maharashtra defeated their opponents in one-sided contests while ITBP faced a tough contest before they overpowered Haryana 4-3.
ADGP Law and Order , Armed K Rajendra Kumar was the chief guest on the occasion. He was accompanied by DIGs Johny Willam and T Punchok, Commandant MS Punoo and other senior officers.
The matches were officiated by the penal of technical officials including Virender Kumar, Vijay Kishore, Jagit Singh Reen, Imtiaz-ud-Din, VP Sharma, Tabrez Sher, Anil Kumar, Naveed Zia, Mohd Ameen and Sanjay Bhatia.
The details: Chattisgarh bt Punducherry 10-01; Bihar bt Rajasthan 07-02; Maharashtra bt Madhya Pradesh 09-01; SSB bt Manipur 16-01; ITBP bt Haryana 04-03; J&K drew Uttrakhand 3-3.

Agent for Jeff Backus says talks with Lions moving forward
Jeff Backus has been a fixture at left tackle for the Lions for the past 11 years, and chances are good that streak continues.
Pat Dye, Backus' agent, said today that he and the Lions had a productive meeting at the NFL combine last week. Backus will be an unrestricted free agent without a new deal by March 13.
"We met at the combine and had a positive discussion," Dye said. "We'll probably be reconvening here in the near future and we'll see where it goes." (Detroit Free Press)
Landon Johnson, Chester Pitts to meet with Lions
Linebacker Landon Johnson is visiting the Lions today, his agent, Andy Simms, confirmed. Johnson, 29, spent the last two seasons playing mostly special teams for the Panthers under Danny Crossman, who is now the Lions' special teams coach. The 6-foot-2, 232-pounder was a starter the previous four years for the Bengals. The Lions also are supposed to host guard Chester Pitts today. Pitts, 30, started 114 consecutive games for the Texans before suffering a knee injury last year. He is recovering from surgery.

Jason Wylie
this wiki
Jason Wylie is an FBI Agent in the Austin field office of the Criminal Investigative Division who specializes and deals with computers.
Wylie grew up in rural Indiana, far away from anything big or important. His mom was a schoolteacher and his father owned a garage down the street. Life was simple, maybe even boring if you asked Wylie. Because of that he spent a great deal of time with computers. At an early age, Wylie was completely outpacing the skill level of many programmers twice his age. But for Wylie it wasn't a competition, it was fun. They were fun when he beat his friends at games, fun when he pranked his friends, fun when colleges came looking for him. Computers got serious for Wylie when the FBI came asking for him. Suddenly, what he knew mattered on a very high level to powerful people. Wylie joined the FBI after graduating college in three years. He tore through the FBI Academy's courses in half the time and found himself with a choice of offices to work from. He chose Texas. Wylie knows that he can't mess this opportunity up. But he also knows that Jane, Abbott, and the rest of the team want his help and will have his back. It's a new thing having friends like Cho and Fischer but he's going to keep on doing what he's been doing. He's going to work harder than everyone else and just have fun.[1]
Trivia Edit
- He has a crush on Agent Vega.

Here's who I like and don't like for Week 6.
IN: Mark Sanchez, Jets
Sanchez hasn't been as big of a fantasy disappointment as some think. Outside of his bad start against the Ravens, the Jets QB hasn't averaged fewer than 15 fantasy points in any game this season. This week Sanchez has a favorable match-up against the Miami Dolphins, who have been dismal against the pass (31st in the league). The Jets are in panic mode and will put up a lot of points against the winless Dolphins, so Sanchez could finally get that breakout game fantasy owners have been waiting for.
OUT: Matt Schaub, Texans
Schaub proved his critics wrong last week, throwing for a season high 416 yards in his first game this season without receiver Andre Johnson. But don't expect that kind of production from him this week. The Ravens have given up the least amount of fantasy points to quarterbacks, and no opponent has thrown multiple touchdowns against their secondary. Throw in the fact that Schaub has been bothered by a sore shoulder and a thigh bruise (he missed practice on Thursday) and you might have to keep him on your bench this week.
Running Backs
IN: Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars
You might be tempted to sit MJD this week because of the match-up, but that would be a mistake – he's fourth in the league in yards and the Steelers haven't been a consistent team this season. Jones-Drew did most of his damage in the first quarter against a good Bengals rush D last week, finishing the day with 85 yards and a touchdown. Expect rookie QB Blaine Gabbert to be under pressure on Sunday, forcing the Jaguars to rely on their dual threat running back to move the chains.
OUT: Jahvid Best, Lions
Best put up big numbers against the Bears last week: 163 yards and a touchdown, the first 100-yard rushing game of his career. But running backs are finding out week after week that it's not easy to run against the 49ers. San Francisco is giving up only 76 rush yards a game while allowing the least amount of fantasy points to opposing backs. The Lions will look to do their damage through the air, something Matthew Stafford and his troops can do quite easily.
Wide Receivers
IN: Victor Cruz, Giants
You can't ignore this guy any longer. Cruz has been a revelation for the Giants' passing game (161 yards and a touchdown last week) and has been building chemistry with Eli Manning, who continues to look his way late in games. The Bills' defense improved in Week 5, but the secondary is still giving up over 283 passing yards a game.
OUT: Santana Moss, Redskins
The Eagles D might be a mess, but Nnamdi Asomugha has kept things in check on his side of the field – Roddy White, Hakeem Nicks and Steve Johnson were have combined for just 77 yards and a touchdown versus the shutdown corner. Moss has been consistent for the Redskins (at least five catches in every game this season) but historically he hasn't performed well against Philly (only one game with more than 28 yards in their past four meetings). Asomugha will make Moss a non-factor against the Eagles once again on Sunday.
Tight Ends
IN: Visanthe Shiancoe, Vikings
I'm going out on a bit of a limb with this selection, but stick with me. Shiancoe has not had a good season thus far (can't we say that about the Vikings passing game overall?) but he could be in for a breakout performance in Week 6. Minnesota is taking on the Chicago Bears this week, the worst team in the league defending tight ends (Brandon Pettigrew scored on them just last week). With all the byes this week, you might want to roll the dice with Shiancoe.
OUT: Heath Miller, Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger had a huge game against the Titans on Sunday, but Miller was a bit of a disappointment (even though he did score his first touchdown of the season). Due to his foot injury Big Ben was forced to focus more on the short passes, where Miller excels, but he targeted the tight end just four times last week. The Jaguars' defence is ranked in the top 10 against the pass, and I think Miller is just too much of a question mark to play with any confidence.
IN: Robbie Gould, Bears
The Bears' offence has been inconsistent to say the least this season, but Gould has been just the opposite. The kicker may be ranked just 12th in fantasy points, but he's 10-for-10 on field goals and 11-for-11 on extra points. The Vikings are giving up the fifth most points to opposing the kickers this season – a good sign for Gould owners.
OUT: Josh Brown, Rams
Brown is a good kicker, he's just been short on opportunities this year. The Rams' offense has taken a major step back, and Brown's production has suffered (only one field goal in his last two games). Sam Bradford and company will have their issues moving the football against a Packers D that is starting to gel, so I wouldn't rely on Brown for many points.
IN: Lions
The Lions' defence was effective against Chicago last week (13 points allowed, three sacks) but has a tough test this week in the suddenly dangerous 49ers. San Francisco has been a scoring machine lately, with 72 points over its last two games, but has Alex Smith done enough to earn your trust? The Lions secondary is opportunistic, with two interceptions returned for touchdowns against Dallas in Week 4, and the defensive line can dominate. Turnovers could be plentiful on Sunday – especially if the 49ers are trailing early.
OUT: Giants
Yes, the Giants are a top 10 defense, but the Bills present a whole new challenge. Buffalo has been an offensive juggernaut this season, averaging almost 33 points per game. Scoring aside, the Bills' offensive line has been solid and hasn't allowed more than one sack in a game, and the team is also very good at protecting the football (just five turnovers). Opposing defenses have scored the fewest fantasy points against Buffalo, and that trend should continue Sunday.

Tonight's minus tide is set for about 8:30 pm, while tomorrow night's tide will be around 9:15 pm. Fish and Wildlife officials say that the best digging starts about an hour or two before that low tide time. The low tides will be at night, so diggers will need to be ready for dark, and possibly rainy conditions. Diggers will also need to have current shellfish licenses, and be sure to observe all of the bag limit restrictions.

Full-time EU student funding
Funding for tuition fees
If you satisfy the residency requirements as an EU student, you are entitled to be charged the same fees and receive the same level of fee support as a UK resident student (or 'home' student). If you are unsure of the residency requirements, please refer to our definitions for determining fee status.
Funding for healthcare degrees
For healthcare diploma and degree programmes, NHS Student Bursaries should pay your tuition fees as long as you satisfy the EU residency requirements.
How to apply for fee support
From the summer before you start your studies in September, you should be able to apply online for your fee support.
Please check Information for NHS funded students from the NHS Business Services Authority, where information about the application process will be published from April onwards.
Funding for non-healthcare degrees
If you are studying a non-NHS degree programme, you can apply for a fee loan from Student Finance to pay for your tuition fees each year. The fee loan is paid directly to UWE after you have registered on your programme.
When to apply
To ensure your application is processed before the start of your course, please apply for your loan as soon as possible. Applications are open from April onwards.
Funding for living expenses
If you meet certain residency requirements, your fee status may be 'home' (or UK resident) rather than EU. This means that you may get funding for your living costs on top of the financial help for your fees described above. That funding may come from the NHSBSA, Student Finance or the University.
An overview of the two most common categories are listed below, however, there are others. See the UKCISA website for further information.
- Category 1 – long residence in the UK
If you are an EU national and you have lived in the UK for the three years before the first year of your course starts you may be eligible for financial support for your living costs.
The relevant date is 1 September if you start the first year of your course in the autumn term. If you have only been in the UK studying full-time, then you must have been living in the EEA immediately before coming to the UK. - Category 2 – migrant worker status or
child/spouse/civil partner of migrant worker
You need to establish your status as a migrant worker well before your studies start. You may need to work a minimum of 16 hours per week while you study in order to maintain your migrant worker status.
If you are anticipating receiving financial support under this category, please check out the latest information about the Migrant Worker status on the UKCISA website.
Eligibility for living cost support
You may be eligible if:
- you are a national of the EEA or of Switzerland (or their spouse, civil partner or child), and
- you work in the UK as a 'migrant worker' for a period of time immediately before your course starts (1 September if you start your course in the Autumn term), and
- you lived in the EEA or Switzerland for the three years before you came to the UK
Evidence of eligibility
Funding organisations will request documentary confirmation of your status. That will be either evidence of three years residence in the UK, or for category 2, evidence of your (or your family's) migrant worker status. This can include wage slips, contracts of employment or worker registration details. As much of the living cost support is income assessed, they may also request documents confirming your household income.

Easy On The Eyes
A great feature of the firmware on board the reader is the ability to select from three different zoom levels on the text to suit your eye-comfort-zone, which can come in handy when you start importing all kinds of strange font-sized PDFs and have to zoom right in to make the text readable.
8-bit greyscale means that images are supported in the reader and you can view images in PDFs as well as regular images. This makes the e-reader also perfect for technical documentation and datasheets (as an electronics engineer, I am constantly referring to them).
After a few good books, it was time to charge the reader. I think the 6800 page-turns was a bit optimistic of Sony and realistically i'd say you are more likely to get about 4000 pages if you are doing nothing but flicking forward through them.
This is still a vast improvement over my Palm TX PDA which managed about 300 pages before giving up the ghost. And long before that, it would bitch to me about low battery every 5 minutes or so, like the world was going to end unless I find an electrical socket in time.
The bottom of the reader hides a few surprises, too. Alongside the mini-USB socket lies a power plug socket, 3.5mm headphone jack and volume rocker switch. Now, you are probably thinking... "wait, a 3.5mm headphone jack? - this thing plays music?!" - That's right, it plays non DRM'd MP3s and AAC files! - The inclusion of this feature is not superfluous either, as people often like to listen to e-books in bed and some like to listen to music while they read.

Volume I - No. 6 |
December, 1938 | |
C.C.C. APPLAUSE "The work of the [Civilian Conservation] Corps should not be measured alone in terms of economic conservation work since that was not its sole function. Some 750,000 men who probably would not have sought to improve themselves by further education availed themselves of this privilege offered by the CCC. Most of this education was of the vocational type and presumably improved the chances of the boys for success when they were again on their own. . . The whole CCC activity is an example of what can result when an emergency demands. In view of the vastness of the projects undertaken, it is remarkable that so few serious mistakes have been made. . . The opportunity of service and accomplishment through the CCC should be improved to the fullest." -- Quarterly Bulletin of the American Nature Association, October, 1938. * * * * 52,000 REPLACEMENTS APPROVED Robert Fechner, CCC Director, announced this month the approval of a replacement enrollment program, from January 1 to 20, providing for selection of approximately 52,000 youths and war veterans. Selections are expected to bring the total Corps strength to about 310,000. The replacement programs are held quarterly to fill vacancies resulting from the honorable discharge of enrollees who have found private employment and of those who have completed their enrollment period. By the first week of December, more than a quarter-million persons had applied for enrollment. * * * * LITTLE COLLEGE IN CAMP Sixteen universities and colleges are represented in the group of instructors which is providing educational opportunities for Corps members at Alabama SP-5, De Soto State Park, Fort Payne. The State Department of Trade and Industrial Education, in cooperation with the local Board of Education, is supplying seven teachers and there also is a full-time instructor provided by the Works Progress Administration. Service and Army personnel likewise conduct classes. Altogether, 43 different courses are offered by 22 teachers. Four WPA-supplied teachers have joined the group of instructors at Alabama SP-15, Mound State Monument, Moundville, where class attendance records are being broken. At SP-6, Gulf State Park, Foley, only seven of the camp's complement of enrollees are not entered on the class rosters. The "school term" at that camp begins anew each quarter to permit rapid advancement by those who demonstrate their proficiency. * * * * DAM COMPLETED The fine concrete-masonry dam pictured at the right is one of the numerous engineering projects which were carried to successful completion during the year by CCC enrollees working under supervision of the Service. It will impound a recreational lake at the Cumberland Homesteads Park, a public play area of the Farm Security Administration, near Crossville, Tennessee. Excavation at the lake site began in November of 1935 and the actual construction of the dam was launched in April, 1936. Flooding of the basin began last September. Except for the assistance rendered for about two weeks by masons provided by the Farm Security Administration, all construction was carried out by junior enrollees. Despite the natural hazards resulting from the character of the work performed, such as quarrying and crushing large quantities of stone, the most serious mishap recorded during the operations was an injury to a quarryman's finger. More than a score of dams, embracing a variety of engineering requirements, were completed or in progress during the year throughout the region. * * * * SAFETY DEMONSTRATIONS IN OHIO Practical demonstrations of work safety methods are a part of the camp program at Ohio SP-20, Miami Conservancy District, Vandalia. Exact tests of the time and distance required for bringing a moving truck to a halt, the use of extinguishers in putting out fires purposely lighted, the deliberate construction of unsafe scaffolds, all are examples of the devices employed in instructing enrollees in accident prevention. Safety Engineer Matt Baker, a recent visitor at the camp, commended its program. |

Gov. Rick Perry Stumps for Iowans
DES MOINES, IA (CBS2/FOX28) - With just three months to go until the November elections, candidates across Iowa are pulling out all the stops and that means brining in some heavy hitters to help with their campaigns.
Texas governor Rick Perry was the special guest for several fundraisers over the weekend.
On Sunday afternoon he stopped by Eldridge for an ice cream social to support Mariannette Miller-Meeks' congressional campaign.
Miller-Meeks is facing off against incumbent Dave Loebsack to represent the second district.
After that stop, Perry went down to Iowa City where he stumped for congressional candidate Mike Moore.
During that stop he talked to a group about border security and said elections are key to changing laws and being heard.

Squirm Eagles fans! Squirm!
When it's impossible to say or write a quarterback's name without attaching the qualifier that he's injury prone, trotting him onto the field in a bubble during the preseason begins to sound like a reasonable option. In Michael Vick's case, a bubble may not have protected him tonight, but he probably still would have known the difference between moops and mores.
As is typical with nearly every starting quarterback during the first week of preseason play, Vick only planned on sticking around for a short time tonight during the Eagles preseason debut against Pittsburgh. He did, but his exit wasn't a quiet, peaceful one, as his thumb banged off of the helmet worn by center Jason Kelce during a follow through.
Vick shook his hand in pain as one does when a body part hits a hard object. He likely said a few naughty words, like maybe "fudge" or perhaps even "fiddlesticks." Personally, I prefer "monkey."
Immediately there was concern, which was understandable since Vick has shown an inability to keep his bones in their proper functioning state, and since becoming the Eagles' starter two years ago he's missed five games. Everyone with access to a keyboard reminded everyone with access to a computer monitor (hey, we're in tough economic times, and some people don't have both) that Vick is injury prone.
That was another understandable and inevitable step in the process we repeat every time Vick gets hurt, but some perspective was lacking. Even in those brief moments of panic before X-rays on his thumb were negative, and before Dr. LeSean McCoy said that his QB is fine during a sideline interview, it was quite apparent that if there was an injury, it was of the freak variety. It wouldn't have been a muscle strain or a pull, or anything that reflects brittleness. It was a hand hitting a helmet, which is simply unlucky, and it doesn't reflect the state of Vick's body.
While we should try to resist such quick conclusions, Vick's painful exit reminded us of how thin the Eagles are at quarterback beyond him. Mike Kafka threw an ugly interception to a defensive lineman on his first pass attempt. Nick Foles later entered the game and looked very good against defenders who mostly weren't very good, but his 144 passing yards and two touchdowns will still put pressure on Kafka.
To summarize: nothing changed for the Eagles tonight. Vick is still unlucky and often has the durability of a piece of styrofoam, and the depth beyond him is either inexperienced, or inefficient. In fantasy and reality, Vick is dangerous for both opponents, and your sanity.
Approach with caution.
UPDATE: As expected, Vick is fine. He has a thumb contusion, which is pretty much a cool-sounding medical word for a bruise. Wikipedia told me so.

City Council could vote Wednesday on a modified agreement that would let the firm eventually expand at the site. Chad Munitz is with 3CDC, which is helping to develop the project. He said the latest document does a couple things.
Employees of dunnhumbyUSA and community leaders gathered at the corner of Fifth and Race in Cincinnati Thursday morning for the groundbreaking ceremony for the company's four-story headquarters.
The $100 million development will include a 1,000- space parking garage and 35,000 square feet of commercial space.

There are many, many aspects of security, and the only way to be highly secure is to always be learning, tweaking, watching, taking precautions, applying updates, thinking out side of the box, etc. etc. etc. Security holes can be hidden anywhere, from the deeply complex software exploit in some application you use, to the seemingly junk mail you threw in the wastebin.
This article is focused on one particular, narrow, but highly-important aspect of security: anonymizing your Internet traffic. Really, that's a broad topic in and of itself, thus the narrow indicates that we probably aren't covering everything. Don't go acting stupid and thinking these steps make you invincible!
Among others, Arch is a Linux distro I love. There are many distros, with their pros and cons, their ups and downs, their quirks, their special purposes, and so forth. I'm definitely not saying Arch is the end-all of distros, but I find it to be quite excellent as a general-purpose, day-to-day desktop dsitro. So this tutorial uses commands based on the Arch package manager, pacman. If you don't use Arch, compile from source or rtfm on your distro and use whatever package manager and configurations it has.
First, let's create a fresh user. This gives us a fresh start in terms of user settings, and a sort of silo to play and experiment with privacy-intensive configurations without affecting our general-use user.
# useradd -m -g users -G audio,lp,optical,storage,video,wheel,games,power,scanner -s /bin/bash someuser
Now we want to add the wheel group to the sudoers file so that our new user can perform root tasks using sudo when needed. Type in:
# EDITOR="nano" visudo
and add the following line:
%wheel ALL=(ALL)
Great. Now our new user, "someuser" in this case, can perform commands as root using sudo. Lets get started.
First, we want to install tor. Tor is an onion-routing based proxy used to anonymize your browsing. Basically, each person running tor is also a node on the tor network. Your tor client connects to a central server, gets a list of a couple of random nodes, and routes your traffic through those nodes. Each node has a public key, so your client encrypts your data multiple times, using each node's key, in reverse order. So your data is encrypted for the last node first, then the second node, and finally encrypted for the first node. Then, each node decrypts its layer (thus onion routing) before passing your data to the next node. Once the data reaches the last node, called the "exit node", it is back in its original, unencrypted form.
At this point, it's quite difficult for anyone to determine where the data originated, unless of course the data itself contains information about the originator. End-to-end encryption is used between each hop for added protection, but again the data is back in its original form when leaving the last hop of the tor network and going back out to the public web. Use https and other end-to-end encryption between you and your recipient to protect sensitive data.
So, tor will help protect your incoming and outgiong data (routed through tor) from someone watching your outgoing infromation, like your ISP or a man in the middle. Data is encrypted at the application layer multiple times, so it's pretty damn safe through the tor network until it hits the exit node. Keep in mind, you don't know who the exit node is or who is watching it, and data is back in its original form at the exit node. If the data itself contains information that could link back to you, like name, address, location, email, accounts, and other personal identifiers, someone could read through the data and know it's yours and what you're sending/receiving. From a purely technical standpoint, though, there isn't a very feasible way to trace the data to its origin in the transport or internet layers.
First, install tor:
$sudo pacman -S tor
Now enable Tor DNS forwarder , this will allow tor to resolve your DNS hostnames through the tor network, helping to keep your browsing habits secret. (This resolves only A records):
#nano /etc/tor/torrc | DNSPort 9053 | AutomapHostsOnResolve 1 | AutomapHostsSuffixes .exit,.onion
restart tor:
#/etc/rc.d/tor restart
Now that tor is configured and running, we can configure applications to pump their data through it. In our browser, for instance, we can go to the network settings and run traffic through tor's locally-running socks 5 proxy server:
Some applications do not have options exposed to manually set a proxy to go through, so we can use tor-resolve and torrify on those. tor-resolve will resolve DNS records for domains (currently only A records), as DNS resolving itself happens independent of applications and can be telling of the sites we are visiting. torrify acts as a sort of wrapper around an application so that its network activity runs through tor. Here is an example using BitchX:
#tor-resolve <irc.server.domain> #torify BitchX
Tor provides a pre-packaged Tor Browser which runs inside of a tor sandbox and comes bundled with Vidalia, a GUI tool for managing tor. Currently, a modified firefox setup is used, with NoScript and other plugins installed to prevent JavaSript, cookies, and so forth from leaking identifying information. Furthermore, it can be set (and is by default) to force sites to use https for end-to-end application-layer
$tar -xf tor-broswer.tar.bz $cd ./tor-browser $sudo ./start-tor-browser
Using tor, we get a nice layer of obfuscation that makes it very difficult (though theoretically possible) for anyone in the network to monitor our data and see what we are doing by sniffing network packets, and at the same time anonymizes us on the outside so that potentially malicious or invasive intruders on the other end cannot gather personalized information on us, such as our IP addressand hostname, which could be used to identify or locate us, among other things.
Here's a few things to remember about tor:
- tor's efficacy largely depends on the number of nodes in the network. More nodes mean more random paths between nodes are possible, increasing the complexity of tracing the origin and reducing the feasability of theoretically possible attacks based on having a holistic view of the tor network. Also, because all traffic is encrypted in multiple layers and sent through multiple nodes, using tor can be slow at times. That said, be nice and give back by allowing tor to run even at times you aren't using it, acting as a node for other people's encrypted traffic to pass through. Additionally, don't use tor for heavy data transfer – bit torrent and the like is typically frowned upon.
- Exit nodes, and the people running running exit nodes (which is set by choice, not default) , are exposed to the outside internet. While historically not very problematic, it does put them in a position of risk as any data exiting from a given node can be linked to the person running it by his/her ISP. While it may not hold against them in court, it can put them in violation of the law, or their isp's terms of use, if other torizens abuse the network. Don't use tor to do anything illegal, unethical, or which might cause problems for an exit node operator. Use it to protect your right to privacy as a law-abiding citizen and your right protection from snoopers, scam artists, advertisers, and the like.
- Tor is only one layer of obfuscation- data goes back to the public net in the same form that it came into tor. If you send out data which includes information that is not encrypted at the application layer, someone outside of the tor network can read it. Use end-to-end encryption in addition to tor, such as gpg, to protect transmissions between yourself and a known recipient, or use https to get end-to-end encryption over http.

What is the model #? |
wish I knew. The tiller is not a worm or gear drive as it looks like it has a chain drive do to the cover to the tines. It is a Yard Machine by MTD and is 3 years old. thats all I know. |
the problem with the tiller was the shifting fork was bent because it has never gone into gear smoothly. The parts cost is 70.00 and to have it installed is going to cost another 150.00. My recommendation would be, stay clear from buying the model 410 & 420 tillers because of this problem. I know I'm selling this one as soon as I get this one running and buy something different. |
That shifter was being abused to bend the fork. If it does not want to engage smoothly, engage then release the clutch before trying again. |

This just happened to my tiller. It'll go foward and backwards but the tines will not spin. Can you tell me where the fork is located on the tiller. Is it toward the motor or closer to the times? I'm going to try to fix it myself but who knows. Also can you tell me where you order the part to fix it. Thanks for the help |
Has anyone actually been in these gear boxes and repaired them here? I have. The pins on the shift forks to get worn and will slip off the shift collar. This does not cause all the problems with these gear boxes though. I am working on one now that the keys on the drive shaft (shifter shaft)will not spread out to lock into the lower (left) gears. It works fine when shifted up to T position. I am thinking these key have lost their curvature. Any opinions on this? |
