text: It appears to me that the ATF in Martinsburg is using the government mandated "Furlough" of employees and the subsequent change, thanks to Sen. Rockefeller, to enable the rehiring of said employees to get rid of those they no longer want. I was under the impression that all furloughed employees were to be rehired. Now the people that were selected for the furlough are being told that not every one will be rehired. What is the ATF up to? I say something smells fishy! Maybe Sen. Rockefeller needs to check it out.

New York, New York, so good they named it twice. Well, New York Straight Men is so good that they only need to name it once. What you've got here are hot and sexy, straight looking, straight acting guys from New York filmed in intimate and personal scenes. These well made scenes are easy to access and regularly updated. This may be a straightforward, gay, hard-core site but it's one that has a number of good things going for it which lifts it above the heads of many other similar sites. Actually I can't think of any similar sites that feature only guys from New York, so we've got originality here too.
To start with, you've got over 260 'featured men' as the members' area calls them. When you first log in you find a page listing all of these guys, and it's simply a question of clicking on them one at a time to move over to the galleries and videos that lie behind each thumbnail. Straight off you're told the guys' names and there is some background information about each one, how the shoot came about and what happened during filming. This is interesting and good to read background and it's well written but...
Us bois are keen to get to the action, and that's easy enough to do as well. At the bottom of each information page you will find a link to your man's appearances, his Portfolio. As some of these guys make one appearance and others make several an accurate content count is quite a difficult thing to achieve. But you have at least 260 videos and galleries and in actual fact probably many more. I found some guys with three sessions under their belts, for example. Each of the galleries contains a decent set of images, with around 80 to 100 shots per set, and these open up to good sizes at 675 x 900, though there are no zip file downloads or slideshow options, so it's a question of clicking through them one at a time. They are, though, collectable and easy to save. As for the videos I found WMV streams at 696 kbps at 640 x 480 - with some scenes using a higher bit rate and a larger size, you'll have to 'suck it and see' as there is no technical info here. If you are a Mac user there's also a page for Mac help, so no worries there.
After a quick cutaway to a street shot of the Big Apple, the videos start (usually) with a bit of chat with the guys involved. This is a nice way of getting to know the men who are going o turn you on and you'll get a little more detail about them by listening in. You will find all kinds of guys here with plenty of hairy chests and hunky muscled bears, plus younger looking, straight acting jocks and studs. The filming quality is good and it is quite laid back; some of the guys will chat to the cam as they're having their thick dicks sucked. And you have nice mix of solo, oral and anal action in each exclusive scene, and of which can be downloaded and saved to your hard drive.
New York Straight Men isn't particularly hot on interactive features. You're not able to make comments or rate the models, and there is no 'add to favourites' area. But what you do have is good update news and, by the looks of it, there is one new and exclusive scene coming to you every week. And don't forget that these are genuine, straight and curious guys from the heart of the Big Apple. Make sure you listen to their sexy accents as well as feasting your eyes on their totally sexy bodies.
Bottom Line:
Yup, this is sure-fire good-quality, well-made and exclusive porn in a site that is definitely a skyscraper set against other low-lying gay sex sites. These guys are primed and ready for action so you have hours of viewing ahead plus regular updates, great quality movies and some of the best looking hunks that New York has to offer.

i particularly dislike guys who wear sunglasses in sex scenes. most of these guys are not straight and do a poor job of acting kie they are. they are mostly very unattractive and out of shape some pretend to be homophobic which is a joke. if you like butts forget it because you see few and those you do look like they have seen a lot of traffic . scenes are poorly directed and are mostly just blowjobs performed by the same few guys. quality of videos is not the best
February 20, 2011 - 18:20:12 (See all My Comments)
I was a member several years ago and returned to see what's news. The answer: nothing.
The Welcome page claims sizzling High Definition Video. There is not even one! They need to get with modern technology and find out what High Definition really means and what upgrades are required.
Another missed claim is a HOT straight guy added every 5 days!!!! Only happens some times. Normally it is added a day or so later which translates to less videos per pay period to their customers.
Another missed claim BONUS UPDATES. There is only one, a one year anniversary video from 2006. Hardly a regular occurance.

I only have three things that I expect from sites I join, and that is:
1.DRM Free is a MUST
2. Down loadable videos
3. Good content!
This site fulfills all of these, I joined yesterday but have been viewing their videos from other sites from long ago. This site is full of hot guys, join, I recommend.

Peanut Butter Pretzels
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup milk substitute
2 tablespoons reduced fat creamy or crunchy peanut butter
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray. Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Knead the dough for one minute (or less, but at least 10 times). Divide dough in half. Roll one half of the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a rectangle 8 by 12. Cut into 8 lengthwise 1 strips. Fold each strip over once so that it is narrower. Pinch the edges to seal. Fold into a pretzel shape and place seam side down on the cookie sheet. Repeat with other half of dough. Sprinkle the pretzels with sunflower seeds, then bake in 400 degree oven for 18-25 minutes or until golden brown.
were these supposed to be crunchy? mine were soft. just wondering.
The thinner you make them, the crunchier they will be.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! this is my new Go-to recipe for something to make when i have no time and everyone is in a snacky mood. Great.. filling.. and a great little sweet snack for anytime.. THANK YOU soo much...
They were OKAY, if I ever remake them I would add more peanut butter.
My brother liked them though.
If you're not getting enough PB flavor, use Jiffy or some other processed peanut butter. Yeah, it's not as good for you, but the flavor will be stronger.
the dough was pretty bland even after i (at least) doubled the peanut butter, so i added probably 3 or so tsp of brown sugar and then it tasted better. they were good after 20 minutes in the oven and i left off the sunflower seeds cus they pretty much wouldnt stick to pretzels after i shaped them. we ate them with a little blueberry preserves & thought they turned out yummy.

Game Media
(Sioux Center, Iowa) After picking up GPAC double header sweeps against Northwestern (Tuesday) and Dana (Wednesday)this week, it would be the Defenders getting swept today as the Concordia Bulldogs improved to 9-9 in the GPAC by beating Dordt 13-2 in game one before knocking off the Defenders 6-1 in the second session.
After pitching the first 5 innings in game 1, Nicole Sempek pitched all 7 innings for the Bulldogs in game 2 to pick up her second win on the afternoon and her 18th of the year. Amanda Nikkel picked up the pitching loss and is now 5-6 on the year.

The Defenders were unable to get a base runner in the bottom half of the third and Nikkel struck out her fourth and fifth batters of the night to get out of the top half of the 4th unscathed. Dordt's lone run came in the bottom of the 4th when Megan Huizenga got on base with a two out single. Huizenga moved to second on a VerMulm walk and scored on an RBI single by Kaitlyn Lockhorst.
Concordia scored two more runs in the 5th and another in the 6th while the Defenders were only able to muster one hit over the final 3 frames, falling 6-1 to Concordia.

Facebook has officially begun rolling out the beta version of their ad conversion tracking tool to a small group of advertisers on the site. As Facebook describes the service, "Conversion tracking allows you to track activity that happens on your website as a result of someone on Facebook seeing or clicking your Facebook Ad." It's a feature which Google has offered within their Analytics and Adwords product for sometime now, and Facebook is finally beginning to roll it out for their advertisers.
The new service, which is pictured below, is pretty straight-forward. Advertisers can assign a specific value to an action on their website. The result is that you can effectively determine the ROI of your Facebook advertising campaigns. While we've been looking for Facebook to provide similar conversion metrics for Facebook Page administrators, this is a great start for providing greater insight into ad campaigns.
While we're expecting Facebook to roll-out the new conversion tracking tool to all advertisers in the near future, Facebook is continuing to test out the service among a small group of Facebook advertisers. While we don't yet know how the reports will looks, this will save a lot of time for advertisers who currently need to dump their data into spreadsheets and cross-reference that data when tracking ad spend ROI (return on investment).
Are you one of the few advertisers who can currently test the ad conversion tool?
Thanks to Sam Goldfarb of Tradimax for the tip!

ReDominator – emulation of the classic Alpha Juno 1/2 (Reason Rack Extension)
ReDominator is an emulation of the classic Alpha Juno 1/2 (JU-1/2), a polyphonic DCO (digitally controlled oscillator) based synth from 1986. The JU-1/2 became popular in the early 90's techno and rave scene particularly by the classic Hoover sound (which ReDominator attempts to emulate accurately). But beyond those niche sounds there lays a versatile synthesizer that does bass, pads, leads, organs and a lot of other sounds waiting to be discovered!
Available at the Prop Shop:

Tres – new monosynth Rack Extension for Reason
FXpansion has announced the release of Tres, a monosynth Rack Extension for Reason powered by DCAM analogue circuit-modelling technology.
Tres features our powerful TransMod modulation system and a wide variety of timbral flexibility and tone sculpting – a deep two-oscillator synth capable of deep basses, biting leads, strange drones, warped percussion and twisted SFX.
Tres' modelled VCOs can interact at audio rate to produce complex tones; a filtered noise generator and sub-oscillator round out the oscillator section. A keytracking, time-variant shelf-EQ allows you to emphasize or cut higher harmonics before a switchable multimode filter with huge resonance, self-oscillation, FM, adjustable drive and 3 distinct classic synth filter models. Tres' final output VCA provides a non-linear analogue drive stage for a variety of tonal colours from warm and smooth to gritty and aggressive.
Most of Tres' parameters can be modulated simultaneously by any of 10 available modulation sources including Tres' built-in dual envelopes and LFOs and external CV sources from elsewhere in your Reason project. You can also route external sources for audio-rate filter FM and use Tres' built-in envelopes and LFOs to modulate other devices within your session.
Tres comes with a comprehensive library of over 200 unprocessed and Combinator patches, developed in conjunction with Nucleus Sound Lab.
Tres is available to purchase for $49 USD / 39 EUR inc. VAT where applicable.

Birth of the Corn Mother
An illustration of the Penobscot Indian creation myth of the Corn Mother.
"She was born of the wonderful earth plant, and of the dew, and of the warmth. Because a drop of dew fell on a leaf and was warmed by the sun, and the warming sun is life, this girl came into being, from the green living plant, from moisture and from warmth. "I am love," said the maiden "I am the strength giver, I am the nourisher, I am the provider of men and animals. They all love me."

Kaleb Prewett ready to play at Kansas State
The question posed to Kaleb Prewett was simple: Do you want to play free safety or strong safety at Kansas State?
His answer was even simpler.
"I just want to play," Prewett said. "I could play wide receiver, cornerback, linebacker, defensive end … Anywhere they want."
"Yes sir," Prewett replied. "I am a football player. I just love to play the game. In high school throughout my whole career I played a little bit of everything. I played safety, but I spent some time at defensive end and I came down and stood up and played off the edge. I was a wide receiver. I even threw a touchdown pass. I guess I can play all over."
That confidence will come in handy for Prewett, especially if the 6-foot-2 Blue Springs senior safety ends up helping the Wildcats on special teams as a freshman next season.
Still, he has higher expectations than that.
"The Kansas State coaches want everyone to come in and compete for a starting spot," Prewett said. "That is what I am going to do, and that is what I am preparing for physically and mentally. Hopefully I can go in there and play well and win that starting spot." (more…)

Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Anne Johnson on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri. Her older brother, Bailey Johnson, Jr., could not pronounce her name when he was little, so he called her Mya Sister, then My, which eventually became Maya. When Angelou was three years old, her parents divorced and sent their children to live in the rural, segregated town of Stamps, Arkansas, with their paternal grandmother, Annie Henderson. During their teens, they lived with their mother, Vivian Baxter, in California. At the age of fifteen, Angelou began her career as a civil-rights activist of sorts. She battled racism with dogged persistence and succeeded in becoming the first African American hired to the position of streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
Angelou has remained a civil-rights activist throughout her life. At Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s request, Angelou became the northern coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the 1960s. Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter also respected her leadership qualities. Ford appointed her to the American Revolutionary Bicentennial Advisory Commission, and Carter appointed her to the National Commission on the Observance of the International Woman's Year. At President Bill Clinton's request, she wrote and delivered a poem, "On the Pulse of Morning," for his 1993 presidential inauguration, becoming only the second poet in American history to receive such an honor.
Maya Angelou's work in the arts includes writing, film, and theater. She moved to New York and earned a role in the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess. Along with the rest of the cast, she toured nearly two-dozen countries in Europe and Africa from 1954 to 1955. After marrying a South African freedom fighter, Angelou lived in Cairo, Egypt, for several years, where she edited an English-language newspaper. Later, she taught at the University of Ghana and edited the African Review.
Angelou often shared stories about her unusual, intense, and poignant childhood, and her friends and associates encouraged her to write an autobiography. In 1969, Angelou published I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the first in a series of autobiographical works. It quickly became a best-seller and was nominated for the National Book Award. Angelou's Georgia, Georgia became the first original screenplay by a black woman to be produced and filmed. Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Die, a collection of poetry, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Angelou was also nominated for an Emmy award for her performance in the film adaptation of Alex Haley's Roots. By 1995, she had spent two years on The New York Times Paperback Nonfiction Bestseller list, becoming the first African American author to achieve such success.
Out of her five autobiographies, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is probably Angelou's most popular and critically acclaimed volume. The book is now frequently read as a complement to fictional works that delve into the subject of racism, such as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. It has often been cut from reading lists because it involves honest depictions of Angelou's sexuality and her experience of being raped as a child. She wrote I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings at a time when autobiographies of women, and particularly black women, had begun to proclaim women's significance in the mainstream as thinkers and activists. Angelou's book conveys the difficulties associated with the mixture of racial and gender discrimination endured by a southern black girl. At the same time, she speaks to many other issues, such as the relationships between parents and children, child abuse, and the search for one's own path in life.
Through a series of personal events, feelings, and thoughts, Maya Angelou is able to captivate its readers with her recounting of her life from her early years up to late adolescence. As readers, we are able to see how Maya grows from the insecure little girl in Arkansas to the strong woman who realizes that she can trust herself and will be able to keep moving forward, which is clearly shown when she realizes that she can take care of her son.
During the last chapter of the book, I feel that Maya does a great job describing the feeli... Read more→

Good point, Ole, and I like the way you stated:
"The whole point is to see what's outside your own head, instead of the inside like most people do."
But I don't agree with it completely. There is no way to disassociate yourself from your own, personal viewpoint. The whole point for me is to document my personal relations and interactions with what is actually outside of me and the manner in which I affect it. There are also many wonderful images which are the product of documenting the inside, Sally Mann's "What Remains Behind" and David Levinthal's work with toy figures and the 20"x24" polaroid camera.

Meerkat 50 Youth ATVs are defective and dangerous
Filed under: Big Kids, Tweens, Teens, Health & Safety: Babies
The CPSC says that these ATV's don't have front brakes or parking brakes, are missing a neutral indicator light and can be started while in gear. Plus, the owner's manual doesn't contain information on how to safely operate and maintain the vehicle.
The ATV's aren't being recalled, but CPCS recommends that consumer's stop using them and demand a refund for the purchase. ATV's come with inherent risks, but because the Meerkat 50 is intended for use by children ages 6 to 11, the risk is considered higher. According to CPSC, kids who are just learning to operate an ATV don't have enough experience to avoid the hazards of this one.
CPSC says that Kazuma Pacific, the manufacturer of this ATV, has refused to provide incident or injury information and has impeded efforts to correct the defects. At least 2,700 of these ATV's have been sold since 2003 and the product is still available with the defects. CPSC requests that any incidents involving the vehicles be reported to them at (800) 638-2772 or on their website.
Call me overprotective, but ATV's for six year olds? No, thanks.

Uncle Roger said...It seems the company is being antagonistic to the CPSC -- they won't even release the number of injuries kids have sustained while riding these.
Jared has one -- one of the battery powered ones designed to be ridden around your yard. Neither he nor Sara have ever had any problems with it, although they just ride it up and down the back alley.
If I had the money for real ones and a place to use them, I would consider it, but we would stick to established trails. Mostly, though, I'd just as soon go for a hike.
blackbird said...I sat on one of these the other day, while waiting for our scooter in the repair shop.
It was HUGE.
(And it was the one you describe.)
I can't imagine a 6 - 11 year old controlling it under any circumstances!
I'm not sure I would be able to control it (though I know some 11 year olds who are bigger than me).
ATV Dealer said...I agree with CPSC concerning the Kazuma Meerkat 50 being poorly built and dangerous. However as bad as the Kazuma is, I can think of about 6-7 other Chinese brands that the CPSC should have gone after before Kazuma. Brands such as Fushin, BMX, SUNL, Buyang, BTM, Eagle, Baja, etc. are built way, way more poorly and alot more dangerous than the Kazuma. I have a repair shop in Dallas TX and I see these cheap Chinese ATV's all the time. For example SUNL and BMX (who sells a lot more mini ATVs for kids than Kazuma), has axles and frames that break, very dangerous. I would hope that the CPSC also looks at these other Chinese import ATVs.
bill said...first let me say that blackbird mistaken if he thinks he sat on a meerkat and they're huge, the meerkat the smallest of all atv's made, the meerkat is well made atv compare to others such as sunl, we purchased 2 meerkats in 04 for our 2 grandkids ages 4 and 5, they were great beginner atv's for this age and they rode the hell out of them for 2 years until they just plan outgrew them, kazuma claims they haven't received any reports of injury cause by the meerkat.
ricklucente sr said...bought one 50 for my grandson did not realize that they would start in gear or you could not tell when it was in neutral or in gear this is very unsafe.

Nice property, but really spread out, difficult to navigate unless you're up for some exercise. Speaking of which, the fitness center was one of the smallest/sparsest I've ever seen for a resort of this quality.

February is National Potato Lover's Month, National Sweet Potato Month, AND 2008 is the International Year of the Potato! Isn't that marvelous?
In honor of this well-deserved recognition, I've compiled a few magnificent spud-centric pictures. Giddy up!
First, a tater fritter, made festive by a loverly pepper relish and cilantro (drool):
How's about some potato, corn, and leek pizza?
If my grandpa ate pizza (and there is NO chance of that...I'd keel over if I were to witness such a thing), I suspect those would be his choice toppings, as long as the leeks were actual onions and it all came from his garden.
To help us transition from regular taters to sweet taters, take a gander at these colorful little fellas...
...and these awesome homemade chips:
Yams and sweet potatoes--are they different or are they the same? I say, who cares? Either way, they're delicious...
...especially in cinnamon buns...
...and pound cake (with a cranberry walnut streusel, no less!):
YUMMY. They don't call me "Tater" for nothin'.
(And by "they," I mean my grandpa, and my grandpa alone.)
(Still counts.)

potato lovers unite!

Common names: Firefly, Lightningbug, Glow Worm
Scientific name: Order Coleoptera, family Lampyridae, several species
Size: Adult--1/4" to 3/4"
Identification: Small brown and yellow flying beetles that can make controlled flashes of light to attract mates. Head is concealed from above by the shield called the pronotum.
Biology and life cycle: Complete metamorphosis. Overwinter in the soil as larvae, emerge in the spring. Pupate in early summer. Two weeks later the adults emerge, flying around at night to show off; the females lay eggs just under the soil. The larvae hatch in about a month and feed till fall, when they burrow into the soil for the winter. In the summer the males signal while flying, and the females return the signal from perches on or near the ground.
Habitat: Nocturnal; live in marshy areas, gardens, and forests. Eggs are laid in moist soil.
Feeding habits: Firefly adults don't eat much of anything, but larvae are carnivorous. They eat other insect larvae, snails, and slugs.
Natural enemies: Man--with toxic chemical sprays.
Natural control: None needed--beneficial.
Organic control: None needed--beneficial.
Insight: Fireflies flash their lights on and off in a distinct pattern. Even the larvae and eggs glow; scientists have no clue about this since it obviously cannot relate to mating. In the adult stage they definitely add beauty and fascination to summer evenings. The larval stage is beneficial. They are meat eaters and dine mostly on young snails and slugs. There are about 130 species of fireflies in this country. In some species the female doesn't have wings. Some researchers claim that fireflies are less active when the moon is full.
QUESTION: I used to love watching fireflies in the summer. And then, one year, they disappeared. Weve been organic gardeners for more than 10 years, but we still dont see fireflies. How can we attract them to our yard? A.C., Dallas
ANSWER: Stick with an organic program, and fireflies eventually will return. Many organic gardeners have reported good populations during the past several years. The health of the soil probably is the most important factor because thats where immature fireflies live. Firefly larvae feed on and control slugs and other pests.

can a sitting president appoint someone mayor?

can a sitting president appoint someone mayor?
Having lived, gone to school, and worked as an Assistant City Manager in Illinois, I do indeed have a sense of Illinois local government and politics.
This will go to the Illinois Supreme Court. Depending on how they rule, it could potentially go to the US Supreme Ct al a Bush v. Gore....though I don't know what the grounds would be for a Federal suit.
There's but a month until the election so the fuse is lit.
Jmtc, but all I see is that he can't be "on the ballot".
Dick Simpson, a political scientist at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said if the appellate decision is upheld, Emanuel's only choice might be to run a write-in campaign.
No candidate for mayor in Chicago has ever won a write-in campaign. "It's probably impossible," Simpson said.
With the "name recognition" and other "influential factors" behind him, nothing's impossible.
None taken.
The truth of the matter is that for a write-in candidacy to succede, you need to find enough folks who can read and write. In the inner city, that will be problemmatic. Even the well-established vote stealing techniques would be obvious and likely a flag thrown.
The unfortunate thing is that he was so far ahead, no one paid much attention to the second place candidate. Carole Mosely Bruan would be a disaster.
As Gomer would say....
Surrrrrrr-Priiiiiiize Surrr-PRIZE!!
Looks like he is back in the race.
Chicago politics is never boring

I'm a new subscriber to this discussion list. Bought my first Ten-Tec rig a few days ago-- an unmodified Omni VI. It is unquestionably the best radio I've ever used. I'm looking for the 221 filter (250 Hz BW for the 9MHz IF, with offset at 500 Hz). I offer for even trade the Inrad #760 (250 Hz for 9 MHz IF, with standard 750 Hz offset), or will pay a reasonable amount by check. I'm also looking for the remote encoder for the Omni VI (I believe the part no. is 301). Finally, I'd also like the option 1 upgrade kit (DSP noise reduction). Send e-mails to: email@example.com. Thank you. 73 de Chuck NI0C _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |

State Dept. begins releasing U.S. aid to Egypt
In moves that outraged critics of Egypt's heavy-handed military rulers, the Obama administration took steps this week toward lifting a suspension on military aid to Cairo.
The moves include releasing half the annual U.S. aid package to Egypt, authorizing the delivery of Apache helicopters after a months-long delay, and inviting intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Mohamed El-Tohamy and Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy to Washington.
The developments suggest that the White House is ready for warmer ties with Egypt, a longtime strategic ally and the Arab world's most populous nation. Egypt has had a testy relationship with the United States since the ouster of strongman Hosni Mubarak and the subsequent crackdowns that have alarmed human rights groups.
In pursuing warmer ties, however, President Barack Obama is now facing the same criticism as his predecessors: that U.S. policy toward Egypt is flawed because of the double standard in demanding democracy while supporting authoritarian rulers. Or, in Obama's case, sending millions of dollars to a military-led coup government that overthrew the first freely elected leader in Egypt's history.
Critics say the new U.S. friends in Cairo are the same ones who've allowed or ordered the killing of hundreds in the name of eradicating Muslim Brotherhood "terrorism." Human rights advocates also are deeply concerned about the imposition of mass death sentences after show trials, and a crackdown on journalists.
The announcements this week triggered renewed interest in foreign aid to Egypt. The State Department on Thursday released a statement that explains how the money is allocated:
The Egypt bilateral foreign assistance budget for FY2014 is approximately $1.5 billion and includes $1.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) – $200 million in Economic Support Funds; and over $7 million for other security assistance programs, including International Military Education and Training, International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement, and Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs. The $650 million from FY2014 FMF will be the first of this funding to move forward, pending Congressional notification and approval.

Downloading Files from Faspex
This week, someone sent me a very large file using something called faspex. To begin with, it sent me a link to click on to download my file, but then started telling me "for best results, install a plugin". And apparently "for best results" means "to download this file in any way".
The "plugin" turns out to be a .sh file that you need to make executable, and then run:
sudo chmod a+x aspera-connect-22.214.171.124118-linux-32.sh ./aspera-connect-126.96.36.199118-linux-32.sh
This installs a plugin for firefox which is available when you close and restart your browser. I don't usually use firefox but I find that usually even my enterprisey clients have heard of it and will sometimes support it! At this point, I could download the file and got a little progress window. I left the file downloading overnight.
This morning, I came into the office and looked for my file. Since Firefox insists on dumping downloads all over my home directory usually, I expected it to be there, but it wasn't. It turns out that the aspera faspex client will download the file into /tmp
on my ubuntu system (actually Linux Mint based on ubuntu 11.10). Since my /tmp
gets wiped every time my machine reboots, I moved the file fairly quickly! Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to use the same combination of tools.

Getting a grasp on mobile app definitions can be tough. For instance, app wrapping is part of mobile application management, but there's more to MAM than just app wrapping. And there are so many hybrid apps now, you might not even be able to tell the difference between Web and native apps.

The term "app" is short for "application" and refers to any software program that performs
a specific function for a user or another application. There are different kinds of mobile apps,
including Web, legacy, hybrid, killer and native apps.
Web apps live on a remote server and are delivered to users over the Internet through a
browser. Any website component that performs a function for the user can be considered a Web app,
so even Google's search engine counts. Web apps can be easier for IT to manage, because they all
run on the same platform.
Native apps are applications developed for a specific platform or device. Because native
apps interact directly with the operating system, they often perform better than Web apps. Native
apps can also take advantage of the specific features of an OS or device, which sets them apart
from Web apps.
Most apps are hybrid apps, which combine native and Web app features. Hybrid apps work
whether or not devices are connected to the Internet, work with a device's file system and
integrate with Web services. For example, online banking apps store some data on devices, but users
access them over the Web.
Killer application
A program that convinces users to buy the system it runs on is a killer application. A
classic example is the spreadsheet program VisiCalc, which brought the PC into businesses. A killer
app may be an application that never existed before, or a specific application with widespread
Legacy apps were built on older technologies but are still important to business processes.
The challenge for IT comes in keeping that old technology working while converting it for new, more
efficient platforms. Fortunately, legacy apps often use languages and OSes with open or standard
programming interfaces, which can make them easier to update.
application management
Unlike mobile device management, mobile application management (MAM) focuses on securing
and deploying software on smartphones and tablets. MAM also involves licensing, configuration,
maintenance, usage tracking and policy enforcement. MAM systems give IT the ability to remotely
wipe corporate apps and data from a user's device while leaving personal information alone.
Often used in conjunction with MAM, app wrapping puts a layer of security and management
features over an app -- without changing the app itself -- before it is deployed to users. App
wrapping with MAM lets admins set policy elements that apply to one app or a group of apps, such as
whether a certain app needs user authentication.
Metro apps
"Metro" was the original name used to describe the new style of touch-based apps for
Windows RT and Windows 8 devices. Microsoft has since said that Metro was just a code name, but
there hasn't been any word from Microsoft about what the official name of these apps will be.
application development
Mobile app development is the process of writing software mobile devices. Applications that
are developed for a specific OS perform very well with that operating system, but when developers
write an app for iOS, there's little code they can reuse for the same app on Android. Though native
apps aren't going away anytime soon, the future of mobile app development leans toward device
agnostic, browser-based apps with apps that are touch-friendly and load quickly.
application processor
Mobile application processors support all the system capabilities a device's apps need --
memory management, graphic processing, multimedia decoding -- in a self-contained environment. A
mobile application processor may be independent of other specialized processors on the device. Some
vendors develop and manufacture their own processors, and others buy them from third-party
