Early Tribune Top 10 (UPDATED) …
Here's what some coaches said about all-league and all-area
I can do this because I have the sources. Here's what some of the top coaches in the area think about the legitimacy of all-league and Tribune all-area teams.
Because this ended up being such a hot topic on another thread, I decided to get the opinions of some local coaches because I have access to it.
If any other coaches want to post their opinions, then please leave your name with your post. Start with all-league voting opinion and then Tribune All-Area. Please be honest, there will be no hard feelings whatsoever.
Covina vs. South Hills last season … Who would have won?
BUT FIRST A DIATRIBE: When I go cover a game I often form opinions about the teams, players and coaches, most of which doesn't come out in my game story. Or at least they're not supposed to. Anyway, a game story isn't supposed to include Aram Tolegian's opinion of a team, its players and coaches. It's supposed to be "here's the final score, this is what happened, and my best explanation of why." Only in columns do my opinions come out. But columns (in print) are rare. However, I do often wonder the same things that fans do. But in game stories I can't say what I really think, only what happened. And sometimes there just isn't enough to say to fill a column. That's why I have this blog. This is what I truly think. If you no likey, then post a counter argument. If you really no likey, then kick rocks. There are plenty of other places in Al Gore's Internet where you can go be miserable. I also have this blog because I like to read the opinions of others, no matter if we agree or disagree.

Do you think it's appropriate for teachers to text kids?
hmmm. well i know my sister's school had a program set up where the kids could text/email for questions about homework.....which sort of irked my sister because when she is off of work she shouldnt be having to answer stupid questions at 9pm at night. luckily she no longer works with the hs students so now there is none of that.
Texting is a very resourceful tool but it can also be misused and abused.
If teachers are sending kids reminders of assignments due or schedule changes or school related events I don't have an issue with it.
But texting on personal level is a no no. Teachers are professionals and need to remain professional.
If they saw them everyday I'm not sure how I feel about texting.

Soda will now come with the nation's first-ever tax on sugary drinks in Berkeley, CA, after the city became our nation's first to pass such a law last night.

Should Sodas & Sugary Drinks Carry Warning Labels Like Tobacco Products?

General Question
When will I get my wrist back?
Asked by sliceswiththings (11656
November 21st, 2009
In May I broke my wrist (my radius and my ulnar styloid process). I had surgery, and now have a titanium plate. I did physical therapy all summer, which I stopped because I went back to school. It's now been out of the cast for five months, and I'm still having problems.
It's really stiff, and I can't bend it backwards very far. If I overuse it, it hurts.
Has anyone had a similar injury? Do you remember the time frame of how long it took to get full use? Did you EVER get full use back (dun dun dun)? Or any OTs in the house?

I said, The desert is so wide! I said, The desert is so bare! What springs the quench my thirst are there? Where will I from the tempest hide? In a barren wilderness, L. B. Cowman long ago discovered a fountain that sustained her, and she shared it with the world. Streams in the Deserther collection of prayerful meditations, Christian writings, and Gods written promiseshas become one of the most dearly loved, best-selling devotionals of all time since its first publication in 1925. Filled with insight into the richness of Gods provision and the purpose of his plan, this enduring classic has encouraged and inspired generations of Christians. I heard the flow of hidden springs; Before me palms rose green and fair; The birds were singing; all the air Was filled and stirred with angels wings. Now James Reimann, editor of the highly acclaimed, updated edition of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers, again brings us the wisdom of the past in the language of today by introducing this updated edition of Streams in the Desert. With fresh, contemporary wording and precise NIV text, the timeless message of the original flows unhindered through these pages, lending guidance and hope to a new generation of believers. Day by day, Streams in the Desert will lead you from lifes dry, desolate places to the waters of the River of Lifeand beyond, to their very Source.
Author Bio
L. B. Cowman worked as a pioneer missionary with her husband in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917, during which time they helped found the Oriental Missionary Society. When Mr. Cowman's poor health forced the couple to return to the United States, Mrs. Cowman turned her attention to caring for her husband until his death six years later. Out of Mrs. Cowman's experiences and heartbreak came her first book, Streams in the Desert, followed by its companion Springs in the Valley. During the next twenty-five years, Mrs. Cowman inspired several nationwide Scripture distribution campaigns and wrote seven more books. Finally, on Easter Sunday in 1960, at the age of ninety, Mrs. Cowman met face-to-face the God she had served so faithfully for nearly a century.
Jim Reimann has more than five million books in print in twelve languages, including the updated editions of Streams in the Desert and My Utmost for His Highest. He was a former retail executive and past chairman of the Christian Booksellers Association. As an ordained minister, Bible teacher, author, and expert on Israel, he hosted teaching tours of Israel and other Bible lands, which he offered through his website. www.JimReimann.com

Joan5 Stars Out Of 5Gold Nuggets For Every SeasonOctober 4, 2014JoanThis review was written for Streams In The Desert ®: 366 Daily Devotional Readings, Italian Duo-Tone Walnut."A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." [Proverbs 25:11]
Sometimes you just have to sit back and let yourself be amazed again and again at the good 'before-hand' of our great Lord! I'm sure L. B. Cowman never would have imagined the degree to which God would use her painful experiences to bless all of us --even to this day, long past her home-going. Streams In The Desert is the product of Mrs. Cowman gathering and compiling nuggets from the writings and oratories of Augustine, Phillips Brooks, Henry Drummond, Jonathan Edwards, A.B. Simpson, Emerson, Longfellow, Frances R. Havergal, Harriet Beecher Stowe and a host of others into one place for her personal healing and comfort. This gem has survived well beyond her death (her falling asleep) because it has been appointed by God for ALL our times --our seasons. We all need encouraging especially "in the night seasons". This is my third purchase for a friend and family who are going through or are coming through 'something'. But this little gem isn't just for the hard times. What a great gift to us, from the Lord through Mrs. Cowman,to help prepare us to faithfully FACE the painful time(s) coming into our lives, our homes, with our children or grandchildren. And, WHAT a gift to give!
As for the product. It's ribboned, it's housed in a beautifully soft walnut Italian, it's the right size for display wherever or to carry in a purse or business satchel or briefcase, backpack --whatever. At it's so readable thanks to Jim Reimann who has done a superb job once again by making the original work accessible to our 21st Century minds and eyes, without fiddling with Cowman or all contributing authors' work. For me (and maybe you will, too), I was introduced to some deep Christian thinkers of yesterday who I never met in print. This was another blessing on my purchase(s); I was encouraged to search out these saints of yesterday who've become new friends! Finally, CBD (for me) tops any price! They just continue to offer the best product for the best value. Five stars is my only option here to recommend this product highly. But it really gets SEVEN stars from me. Thank you for reading my review. -

Obama's China Policy
Barack Obama recently achieved status as the presumptive Democratic Party Presidential nominee, so it seems worthwhile to address what his future China policy might be like, should he be elected.
Obama wants faster Chinese currency reevaluation, and threatens to levy duties against the Chinese if they do not move to strengthen the RMB against the dollar.
The bill Obama promotes, S. 796, Sen. Bunning (R), and Stabenow (D)'s Fair Currency Act of 2007, appears similar to the failed Baucus' 2006 bill S. 295 which attempted to designate China a currency mainpulator but which eventually did not pass because of fears that it was non-WTO compliant.
Likewise, the Fair Currency Act appears similar to the unadopted 2007 S. 1607 Baucus/Grassley bill which sought to replace the current Treasury reporting structure which merely analyzes if foreign countries "manipulate the rate of exchange between their currency and the United States dollar for the purposes of preventing effective balance of payments adjustments or gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade" (1) with a requirement that Treasury identify "fundamentally misaligned" currencies and designate them for priority action in semi-annual reports to Congress, whether or not the currency manipulation is maliciously intended.
Such a bill would introduce countervaling duties against Chinese exports to the United States, arguably helping domestic American manufacturers. Prices of goods will rise to some degree, but more manufacturing jobs will (theoretically) remain in the United States. (Read the bill HERE.) [A further analysis on the Bill and currency evaluation/manipulation will follow in a later article.]
Former ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Council Terry Miller gives some insight into the effects of such a bill, arguing that "changing the exchange rate will, however, affect U.S. producers who use intermediate goods imported from China in their U.S. production processes. Renminbi appreciation will increase their costs of production. U.S. consumers of basic commodities like oil will also be hurt, as renminbi appreciation will make dollar-denominated commodities like oil cheaper for the Chinese. Chinese demand, already rising rapidly, will drive up the dollar price of such commodities worldwide, forcing American consumers to pay even more at the pump." All Roads Lead to China had another interesting analysis on the wisdom of encouraging a currency reevaluation. I'm not certain I agree with either statements, but they make intriguing arguments. The economy is never quite as simple as it initially appears.
Ultimately, the Chinese RMB has appreciated 18% since 2005 when it removed its peg from the dollar and began to float against a market basket of currencies; but the bill argues China's currency is still undervalued by as much as 40%.
Barack Obama, if elected, will lead a Democratic Party alongside a powerful anti-China House Majority Leader, Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi is famous (in China) for unveiling a pro-democracy banner in Tian@nmen Square in 1991 while on a Congressional docket- hardly a subdued gesture by a future national leader. She is often confrontational against China, very pro-T*b*t, and has pushed for changes in China's population control policies. A commentary in Xinhua, the AP of China, has many derisive things to say about her.
Depending on how much influence Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats' anti-China lobby might have on Barack Obama, Sino-American relations could degrade under an Obama presidency.
Obama supports the "One China Principle" and congratulates Taiwan for its developing democracy, but beyond that has had few constructive statements or declarations of policy on the situation.
Although Obama has yet to construct a fully cohesive China policy, a vote for Obama appears to be a vote against coddling China economically. It remains to be seen whether he is a military anti-China hawk, like the recently ousted air force generals who promoted purchases of 381 new F-22 jets in opposition to the Bush Administration's suggested number of 183, partially because they saw America's future as confronting conventional armed forces rather than insurgencies.
The Council on Foreign Relations discusses more of Obama and the other candidates' China policies at length HERE.
[A future article on this site will examine McCain's China Policy]

Yeah, I know what Trojans are...and that they're not good. I am assuming this is not a Malwarebytes false positive.It should be noted that the problem does not happen with every game on Firefox, but does happen on most. I have also found it started happening with IE8 as well on some games. So this does not appear to be exclusive to Firefox.The site is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Well, I use SpyBot and SuperAntiSpyware and Spybot found a bunch of stuff in the Flash player file. Cleaned it out and now Armor seems to be working again.

Cool. Adobe Flash has to cooperate with almost every file on your computer, so sometimes a rogue file might get into the way. Good to hear you got it figured out.

The following are general hunting regulations. Specific regulations for various game species are in the Small Game, Big Game and Trapping sections of this booklet.
Air gun—a firearm that uses spring or compressed air (not gunpowder) to propel a single projectile that is .17 caliber or larger and produces a muzzle velocity of at least 600 feet per second. You may use a smooth or rifled bore.
Bow—includes long (stick), compound, or recurve bow.
Crossbow—consists of a bow, a string, and either compound or recurve limbs with minimum width of 17 inches (tip of limbs, uncocked), mounted on a stock. The stock shall have a trigger with a working safety that holds the string and limbs under tension until released. It shall have a minimum overall length from the butt of the stock to the front of the limbs of 24 inches and be able to launch a minimum 14 inch arrow/bolt, not including the legal arrowhead. It shall have a draw weight of 100 to 200 pounds.
Firearm—all guns, including handguns, rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and BB and pellet guns.
Handgun—is any pistol or revolver intended to be aimed and fired with one hand, and having a barrel length not exceeding 16 inches.
To hunt—means to pursue, shoot, kill or capture (other than trap) wildlife and includes all lesser acts that disturb or worry wildlife whether or not they result in taking. Hunting also includes all acts to assist another person in taking wildlife.
Motor vehicle—means every vehicle or device operated by any power other than muscle power including but not limited to automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, trailers, motorboats, snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, whether operated on or off public highways.
Muzzleloading firearm—is a firearm loaded through the muzzle, shooting a single projectile and having a minimum bore of .44 inch.
Public highway—means any road maintained by a state, county or town. A private road is one maintained by a person or corporation.
Rifle—is a firearm with a barrel length of 16 inches or more with rifling in the barrel that uses metallic cartridges.
Shotgun—is a firearm with a barrel length of 18 inches or more that uses shells that are nonmetallic except for the base.
To take—means to pursue, shoot, hunt, kill, capture, trap, snare or net wildlife and game—and all lesser acts that disturb or worry wildlife—or to place or use any net or other device commonly used to take wildlife.
To trap—means to take, kill or capture wildlife with traps, deadfalls and other devices commonly used to take wildlife, including the shooting or killing of lawfully trapped animals. It also includes all related activities such as placing, setting, staking or checking traps or assisting another person with these activities.
Manner Of Taking
It is illegal to take or hunt wildlife:
- while in or on a motor vehicle (except by special permit ).
- with the aid of a vehicle's lights.
- on or from any public road.
- with any firearm equipped with a silencer.
- with any firearm which continues to fire as long as the trigger is held back (an automatic firearm).
- with any semi-automatic firearm with a capacity to hold more than 6 rounds, except:
- firearms using .22 or .17 caliber rimfire ammunition, or
- firearms altered to reduce their capacity to no more than 6 shells at one time in the magazine and chamber combined, or
- autoloading pistols with a barrel length of less than eight inches.
- with a spear.
- with a bow equipped with any mechanical device which is attached to the bow (other than the bowstring) for drawing, holding or releasing the bowstring except for a person with a physical disability in possession of a Modified Longbow Authorization (compound bows are legal).
- with a spear gun or modified crossbow except for a person with a physical disability in possession of a Modified Crossbow Permit.
- with an arrow with an explosive head or shaft.
- with any device designed or intended to deliver drugs to an animal.
Baiting—It is illegal to hunt with the aid of bait or over any baited area when hunting big game, upland game birds, turkey or waterfowl.
Artificial lights—It is illegal to hunt deer or bear with the aid of any artificial light including laser sights.
You may use lights to observe wildlife under the following conditions:
- You are not within 500 feet of a home or farm building, unless you have permission from the owner or lessee (when looking for deer or bear).
- While in or on a motor vehicle and operating a light and no person has a firearm, crossbow or bow unless:
- the firearm or crossbow is taken down or the bow is unstrung, or
- the firearm or crossbow is securely fastened in a case, or
- the firearm or crossbow is locked in the trunk of the vehicle, or
- the firearm is a handgun.
For information on hunting furbearers at night, see Furbearer Hunting.
Possession Of Firearms And Crossbows
During the open season for deer, it is illegal to:
- possess shotgun shells loaded with slug or ball, unless holding a valid license (including carcass tags) or permit to take deer or bear, or
- possess a rifle larger than a .22 rimfire (muzzleloading rifles excepted) in areas where rifles are banned for taking deer.
It is illegal to use a crossbow for hunting, or to carry one afield in any of the 'bowhunting only' Wildlife Management Units.
In Westchester County and on Long Island, it is illegal to use any rifle for hunting, or to carry one afield.
In the Northern Zone, it is illegal to carry a rifle larger than . 22 rimfire or a shotgun loaded with slug, ball or buckshot afield if accompanied by a dog, except when coyote hunting.
Possession of handguns in New York requires a NYS Pistol Permit. New York does not recognize permits issued by other states.
Transportation Of Firearms
A person may not transport or possess a shotgun, rifle or crossbow in or on a motor vehicle, including any all terrain vehicle, unless the firearm is unloaded in both chamber and magazine or the crossbow is unloaded or taken down. A loaded firearm may be carried or possessed in a motorboat while legally hunting migratory game birds.
A muzzleloader is considered unloaded when the cap is off the nipple, the primer is removed, the primer powder is removed from the flintlock pan, or the battery is not in an electric-fired muzzleloader.
A crossbow is considered unloaded when the arrow/bolt is removed, regardless whether the crossbow is cocked or uncocked. A crossbow is considered taken down when the limbs have been removed from the stock, securely fastened in a case, or locked in a trunk.
Discharge Of Firearms, Crossbows And Bows
It is illegal to discharge a firearm, crossbow or bow:
- so that the load or arrow/bolt passes over any part of a public highway.
- within 500 feet of any school, playground, or an occupied factory or church.
- within 500 feet of a dwelling, farm building or structure in occupation or use unless you own it, lease it, are an immediate member of the family, an employee, or have the owner's consent.
You may hunt waterfowl over water within 500 feet of a dwelling or public structure as long as neither are within 500 feet in the direction you are shooting.
Protected And Unprotected Wildlife
In New York State, nearly all species of wildlife are protected. Most species, including endangered species, songbirds, hawks and owls are fully protected and may not be taken. The few unprotected species include porcupine, red squirrel, woodchuck, English sparrow, starling, rock pigeon and monk parakeet. Unprotected species may be taken at any time without limit. However, a hunting license is required to hunt unprotected wildlife with a bow or firearm.
Game species may be taken only during their open seasons and as summarized in this Guide. Persons taking wildlife on licensed shooting preserves must comply with regulations governing those shooting preserves.

Al-Budairi, H., and Lucas, M. (2012) An analytical model of a longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic transducer. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 382(C1), Art. 012061. (doi:10.1088/1742-6596/382/1/012061)
Full text not currently available from Enlighten.
The combination of longitudinal and torsional (LT) vibrations at high frequencies finds many applications such as ultrasonic drilling, ultrasonic welding, and ultrasonic motors. The LT mode can be obtained by modifications to the design of a standard bolted Langevin ultrasonic transducer driven by an axially poled piezoceramic stack, by a technique that degenerates the longitudinal mode to an LT motion by a geometrical alteration of the wave path. The transducer design is developed and optimised through numerical modelling which can represent the geometry and mechanical properties of the transducer and its vibration response to an electrical input applied across the piezoceramic stack. However, although these models can allow accurate descriptions of the mechanical behaviour, they do not generally provide adequate insights into the electrical characteristics of the transducer. In this work, an analytical model is developed to present the LT transducer based on the equivalent circuit method. This model can represent both the mechanical and electrical aspects and is used to extract many of the design parameters, such as resonance and anti-resonance frequencies, the impedance spectra and the coupling coefficient of the transducer. The validity of the analytical model is demonstrated by close agreement with experimental results.

Christianity in Kuwait
Christianity in Kuwait is a minority religion, accounting for 10%-20% of the country's population, or 650,000 people. Kuwait's Christians can be divided into 2 groups. The first group are Christians who are native Kuwaitis numbering approximately between 200 and 400 people.[1][2] The second group, who make up the majority of Christians in Kuwait, are expatriates from various countries around the world.
Kuwaiti Christians[edit]
Kuwait's native Christian population is diverse. In 1999, there were between 200 and 400 Christian Kuwaiti citizens.[1][2] In June 2013, there were 256 Christian Kuwaiti citizens residing in Kuwait.[3] There are reportedly 200 native Kuwaiti Christian families.[4]
Christian Kuwaitis can be divided into 2 groups. The first group includes the earliest Kuwaiti Christians, who originated from Iraq and Turkey.[2] They have assimilated into Kuwaiti society, like their Muslim counterparts, and tend to speak Arabic with a Kuwaiti dialect; their food and culture are also predominantly Kuwaiti. The make up roughly a quarter of Kuwait's Christian population. The rest (roughly three-quarters) of Christian Kuwaitis make up the second group. They are more recent arrivals in the 1950s and 1960s, mostly Kuwaitis of Palestinian ancestry who left Palestine after 1948.[2] There are also smaller numbers who originally hail from Syria and Lebanon.[2] This second group is not as assimilated as the first group, as their food, culture, and Arabic dialect still retain a Levant feel. However, they are just as patriotic as the former group, and tend to be proud of their adopted homeland, with many serving in the army, police, civil, and foreign service. Most of Kuwait's citizen Christians belong to 12 large families, with the Shammas (from Turkey) and the Shuhaibar (from Palestine) families being some of the more prominent ones.[2]
Although there is a small community of Christian citizens, a law passed in 1981 prohibits the naturalization of non-Muslims.[1] However, male citizens who were Christians before 1980 (and male children born to families of such citizens since that date), are allowed to transmit their citizenship to their children (but are no longer allowed to transfer citizenship to their spouses).[1]
Kuwait is the only GCC country besides Bahrain to have a local Christian population who hold citizenship.
Notable people[edit]
- Amanuel Benjamin Ghareeb (born 1950), an important Kuwaiti priest and representative of the Evangelical Church of Kuwait.[5]
Expatriate Christians[edit]
The denominations of both citizen and foreign Christians in Kuwait include, but are not limited to, the following:
- 140,000 Catholics in Kuwait. There is a cathedral in Kuwait City, which belongs to the Vicariate Apostolic of Kuwait. The Catholic Vicariate is largely made up of Asians from India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, and Arab Christians from Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, and Syria. Maronite Christians, mostly from Lebanon, also worship at the Catholic cathedral in Kuwait City.
- 67,500 Orthodox Christians, at least. The Greek Orthodox Church has about 3,500 members, while the Armenian Orthodox Church has about 4,000 members. The Coptic Orthodox Church has about 60,000 members. Totals for both the Greek Catholic (Eastern Rite) Church membership and Indian Orthodox Church membership more than 6,000.
- 50,000 Protestants in Kuwait. The Anglican Church has about 115 members. The National Evangelical Church has about 15,000 members. There are also other Christian Protestant denominations in the country, with tens of thousands of members. These denominations include the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
- Other religious groups include The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which has a ward (congregation) of approximately 300 that meets in a villa in Salmiyah.
The constitution allows for religious freedom. Many churches exist in Kuwait. Kuwait's largest cathedral is situated in the eastern part of Kuwait city.

New DARPA Program Targets Bootleg ComponentsThe electronics industry has adopted a wealth of practices to foil or at least identify counterfeit components, from marking to x-raying. Now the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is calling upon engineers to solve the problem. DARPA has published a call for proposals to develop a nearly microscopic component that could be attached to system components to help identify and combat counterfeit and suspect electronic parts. Counterfeiter components are pervasive in the defense supply chain. Counterfeiters target both high-ticket chips and components that cost pennies. Worse, system failures associated with fake parts can lead to loss of life and failure of military missions. In 2009 and 2010, more than 1,800 cases involving more than 1 million suspect parts were linked with known supply chain compromises, according to a May 2012 Senate Armed Services Committee report. "China is the dominant source country," the report said; more than 70% of the suspect parts the committee tracked through the supply chain were traced back to that country. The new DARPA Supply Chain Hardware Integrity for Electronics Defense (SHIELD) program is calling upon engineers to develop a tool that will verify protected electronic components without disrupting or harming the system. DARPA program manager Kerry Bernstein said in a press release: SHIELD demands a tool that costs less than a penny per unit, yet makes counterfeiting too expensive and technically difficult to do. The dielet will be designed to be robust in operation, yet fragile in the face of tampering. What SHIELD is seeking is a very advanced piece of hardware that will offer an on-demand authentication method never before available to the supply chain. DARPA said the proposed system would need to overcome and address with 100% assurance a comprehensive list of realities that inhibit the performance of electronic components, including: The program calls for the development of a dielet, a small (100 x 100 microns) component that "authenticates the provenance of electronics components." The proposed component would incorporate a full encryption engine, as well as tampering sensors. The resulting component would be affixed to the components being protected and would be scanned for information. It would not maintain an electrical connection with the host component. The dielets could be scanned individually or in batches. The information would be stored and shared in a centralized server, which would send a challenge to the device to confirm that no tampering has occurred. DARPA plans to host a Proposers' Day Workshop in support of the SHIELD program on Friday, March 14. — Hailey Lynne McKeefry, , Editor in Chief, EBN This article was originally published on EBN's sister publication EE Times. |

Google Says Android App Security Report Flawed
Google Says Android App Security Report Flawed
Brian Prince
Posted 2010-06-23
Google is taking issue with a report it says exaggerates the possible security dangers of Android applications. The report, an analysis of more than 48,000 applications, found 20 percent request permissions to access private or sensitive information that an attacker could use for malicious purposes.
Google is taking issue with a report from SMobile Systems suggesting Google Android applications are leaving users open to identity theft. In an
analysis of more than 48,000 applications
(PDF) currently available on the Android Market, SMobile found that 20 percent request permission to access sensitive information an attacker could use for some malicious purpose. In addition, 5 percent of applications have the ability to place a call to any number without requiring user intervention.
"The Android operating system and the Android Market are quickly becoming the most widely used mobile platform and app store in the world," Neil Book, CEO of SMobile Systems, said in a statement. "There are individuals and organizations out there right now, developing malicious code designed to capture your most personal information and use it to their advantage."
SMobile's technology uses the permissions and application requests as a basis to judge whether or not the application is malicious. In its study, 29 of the applications were found to request the exact same permissions as known spyware. However, a Google spokesperson pointed out that the permissions list gives the user the ability to prevent unauthorized applications from doing anything malicious. "This report falsely suggests that Android users don't have control over which apps access their data," a Google spokesperson said. "Not only must each Android app get users' permission to access sensitive information, but developers must also go through billing background checks to confirm their real identities, and we will disable any apps that are found to be malicious." Though the spokesperson could not share the number of malicious applications removed from Android Market,
Google did remove some banking applications
in 2009 for violating its terms of use. According to Google, in addition to users receiving a clear list of permissions that they can choose to accept or decline, users are able to flag content they deem inappropriate, or that causes problems with their devices, for human review. "This information helps users to decide what to download and what not to download," the Google spokesperson said. "In case malware does end up getting downloaded, we 'sandbox' every application on Android, meaning we give it limited access to phone resources by default such that any malware that appears will have limited impact." Android is not the only mobile platform being targeted by attackers. Earlier in June, researchers at mobile security vendor Lookout discovered attackers were
targeting Windows Mobile devices
with malicious applications. "The open-source architecture that drives Android phones and the abundance of application stores available for all smartphone devices have allowed developers to quickly create and post thousands upon thousands of new applications," SMobile Systems CTO Daniel Hoffman said in a statement. "As a result, applications are currently available that have the potential to cause serious harm to devices, customers and to the broader cellular network."

SUNDAY... A week from today I will be on the way to Long Island. Drive a good day, pull over somewhere for the night, then finish the ride next day. I anticipate pulling into Smithtown sometime in the afternoon. Making a loop of it and returning via Cleveland.
Yes, I agree. The blog is stuck in a trough of inaction. I have mainly been concentrating on the details of moving out of the apartment and into the RV. A couple days ago I checked out some RV campgrounds. A couple were in state parks.
First was Taylorsville Lake SP, about 35 miles southwest of Louisville. The location is good in that it is not really near an interstate. People will have to WANT to go there, versus stopping in for the night. The campground is closed until April 1, but the gate was open and I rode through. The grounds were well maintained, and I noticed each space seemed to have plenty of room. Open spaces backing up to trees and forest. First place I looked at and it seemed to be worth considering.
I headed north to Shelbyville via many winding narrow Kentucky roads. A typical state map does not help here. There is a maze of these back roads here, and the map can only put in so much. I went with dead reckoning, not really lost, but not sure where I would pop out of the woods. It was a good day for a ride, and I was in no huge hurry. I checked out Guist Creek in Shelbyville, more of a boat dock than a campground. I moved on, north again to Carrollton on the Ohio River.
General Butler State Park. I have some history here, having camped out there over a weekend way back in high school. I also played the golf course just last year. This place is about 50 miles away from the folks house, but it is all interstate. This campground was more in the trees than Taylorsville. But the sites seemed to be pretty close to each other.
I am guessing these parks will not be very busy at that time of year, will be finding out more info tomorrow and make a reservation somewhere.
I need to stay somewhere for about 5 weeks. These parks ain't cheap. They do not offer extended stay rates. As a matter of fact, they limit your stay to 14 days. Hopefully there will not be many campers and it will not be a problem.
Never a dull day.
TUESDAY... A great day ijn Louisville. 70 degrees, a bit overcast, and a good breeze. Dotmom had a friend who is an Rv owner, so w all met for a question and answer session. Very helpful.
Then I played the first 9 holes of the year at a local municipal course, Crescent Hill.
Nobody got hurt.

Dotmom I enjoyed your info on bananas. Who knew? Too bad they are so high in sugar. But I may start eating more bananas in moderation. Dave I hope Miranda Star is still weathering everything as well as she has been. I guess Joe is on his way to Long Island. Stay warm! We took a road trip to South Texas for spring break. We hit a border patrol check point that we didn't know about on the way back from the beach. No exciting drug busts though. The road wound for several miles parallel-ish to the Rio Grande very close so I guess that's why the check point was there. Boca Chica Beach. Tokers should probably stay away from that beach. |
Bananas!!! Ylee: Look at this epistle!!! A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on: Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!! This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again. Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood Enhancer tryptophan. Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe it's time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!' PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!! |
Dotmom: I don't have experience myself, just what friends have told me about theirs. We have an RV Park at work. It used to be open year round. Now just for the summer months. People used to live there all year. I think the rent was about $450.00 (give or take) a month. It included everything in all the hook-ups. They could even use the pool at the hotel and had laundry and shower facilities. They still can when its open in the summer months. I do know you have to use heat tape in the winter to keep the water flowing (both ways). Dotmom, check your mail box, I sent you an update. |
lotis2: Too funny, but I hear what you are saying. I hope Joe is filing all these tips away for the day he takes off in this big vehicle. I can see where a lot of you have experience with RVs. |
Yes Joe avoid the overhanging tree branches. Mostly on narrow roads when your driving slow. The sound of them scraping against the metal top and sides is like finger nails on a chalk board. You won't be able to see where you're going with Fluff and Dutchie hanging off you face. Not to mention trying to get their claws out of your scalp. Their eyes will be so big from the sound, they won't be able to close them for a week. |
Did I miss something? What's in Smithtown? Or is this "just" another road trip...in the car? RV? Another chapter in your interesting life is about to begin, and we are going along for the ride. I was thinking about this blogging thing, and the way it sort of exploded on the scene; can't help thinking about those first computers and now looking at where they have gone from there. As the old Grateful Dead song says, "What a long, strange trip it's been." |
I luv the name for your new home. We will be taking to a Dodge Leisure LSS (which to me reads: leisureless) soon. If you ever head west find YCD Airport and WUmail me or just shout: "Hey! Joe's here!" There's a golf course: http://www.cottonwoodgolfcourse.com/ also within shouting distance. |
Overhanging tree branches give a good wallop if you don't spot 'em in time too… They don't put those buggers on the maps either. I think essentially, so long as you don't get in a muddle between State Parks and Skate Parks, you should be fine. Then again, skateboards are just former bits of overhanging tree with wheels attached, in the hands of teenagers looking for a way to injure themselves. You only really need concern yourself if you find some youths rubbing wax on your rails. Then you should set Dutchie on them. If you can persuade her to come down out of that tree… Avoid trees. It'll be fine…. I'm certain…..I have faith in you…. And even if it isn't it will give me endless hours of entertainment to read about it on the blog and take the piss mercilessly. I am absolutely reliable thusly. It got warm here on Sunday, we went right up to 19c / 66f with clear blue skies and sunshine. It was wall to wall noisy lawn mowing, unfit folks on bicycles with pasty white legs and bright red faces and panic buying of barbeque briquettes and bread buns right across England. My lazy arse watched a Bonnie and Clyde DVD and enjoyed demolishing a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings. The lawn remains a little on the tufty side. My legs remain a great deal on the bluish white end of the official pasty skin colour spectrum. But they are never knowingly tufty. I get this kid in to wax my rails… |
Joe, you probably want to be very mindful of the height of your RV in the event a back road might contain a excessively steep, narrow or low bridge that could cause you problems. I would recommend a membership in Goodsam club. I'm a member and it has come in handy. As far as extended stay locations, an RV park would be a cheaper and better suggestion as they would work with you on rates. State parks aren't in the business to do this. Enjoy your new home! |

Kim Kardashian was spotted in all white as she led the family to a tribute for her biological father, Robert Kardashian. It is the ninth anniversary of his death last Sunday.
They pretty much took into Twitter to show their sadness for the passing of their late father. They all wrote that they love their dad and miss him so much. They wish that the day didn't happen nine years ago but they are quite okay knowing that he is in a better place now.
Robert was a lawyer and had Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob with his wife. He died at the age of 59 from oesophageal cancer.

Douglas C. Farrar, principal of the public schools of Perryville, Mo., is a native of this county, born in 1858. He is a son of John B. Farrar, who was born in North Carolina in 1795, of Scotch-Irish parentage. While young the latter immigrated to Perry County, Mo., and after his marriage located two miles east of Perryville, where he resided many years, spending the latter part of his life about four miles from the town. He was one of the pioneer settlers of the county; and became one of its largest land owners. He died in 1865. His wife, Mary L. (Noell) Tate, was the widow of Dr. Tate, who for many years, was a prominent physician of Perry County. Mrs. Farrar was born in Virginia in 1820, and is the mother of three living children by her last marriage: Haogene?, wife of William A. Cashion of St. John, Kas.; Noell F., a groceryman of Perryville, and Prof. Douglas C. The last named received his education in the public schools of Perryville, Mo., and Washington University, St. Louis. In 1876, he commenced studying law under the direction of Hon. John V. Noell, of Perryville, and in 1878 entered the law department of Washington University, at. St. Louis. In 1879, he was admitted to the bar, and at once entered upon the practice of his profession, forming a partnership with Wilson Cramer, one of the leading lawyers of Jackson, Mo., and continued until his law library was burned in 1884. He then resumed school teaching, having taught previous to studying law. He was first employed in the grammar department of the public schools of Perryville, but in 1888 was elected to the principalship of the same schools. His marriage with Mary J. Cissell, a daughter of Hon. Bernard Cissell, was celebrated in 1879. Mrs. Farrar is a native of Perry County, MO., born in 1859. Their union has been blessed by the birth of three children: Beulah May, Gertrude Belle, and Mary Lucinda. In politics Mr. Farrar is a supported of the principles of the Republican party. He served as city attorney of Perryville for two years.

The Goodspeed Publishing Company compiled a series of histories of various counties in the U.S. in the late 19th century. The information in the History of Southeast Missouri, published in 1888, was provided by the contemporary residents of Perry County and her neighboring counties. The biographies are a valuable source of genealogical information, despite a few minor inaccuracies. We are glad to present the transcribed biographies here for anyone researching Perry County's history.
