Neck pain or stiffness can be caused by several different conditions, lifestyle factors or traumas, and can occur in the muscle, nerves, discs and cervical spine. Some conditions related to neck pain include fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, infection, herniated cervical disc, or spine-related cancer. Certain lifestyle factors such as poor posture and awkward sleeping positions can also contribute to neck pain, especially minor strain. Traumas can lead to certain neck issues as well, such as whiplash or bone fracture.
Below you will find alternative and natural treatment options including those from a Chinese Medicine perspective for neck pain.

On the Move? Take Your New York or New Jersey Business With You
by Dan Brecher on August 1, 2013
Moving a small business from one state to another creates a host of practical and legal concerns, but it is possible. If the new state is more business friendly, the move may actually benefit in the long run.
The process of relocating your business largely depends on its corporate structure. As with most other business tasks, the sole proprietorship is the most straightforward, while corporations pose the biggest headache.

Boehringer Ingelheim to Present New Data Regarding Its Investigational Compound BIBW 2992 in Head and Neck Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
RIDGEFIELD, Conn., May 20 /PRNewswire/ — Boehringer Ingelheim will announce preliminary data in the areas of head and neck cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for one of the company's investigational compounds, BIBW 2992. These data will be presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago. BIBW 2992 is an orally-administered small molecule under development that irreversibly inhibits the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/HER1) and human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2) tyrosine kinases.
BIBW 2992 data in head and neck cancer(1)
New data will report preliminary best response analysis for 74/109 patients from an ongoing Phase 2 study of 124 patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who did not respond to platinum-containing therapy. In this study, patients were initially randomly assigned to either BIBW 2992 or cetuximab. Twenty-two percent of the 34 patients receiving BIBW 2992 experienced reduction in tumor size (measured as partial response), compared to 13 percent of the 40 patients receiving cetuximab. Preliminary safety analyses revealed diarrhea and skin-related adverse events as the most common adverse events associated with BIBW 2992.
"Metastatic head and neck cancer has a very poor prognosis, and patients are in desperate need for new treatment options," says Tanguy Y. Seiwert, M.D., lead investigator of the trial, University of Chicago Medical Center. "These findings, while preliminary, are encouraging and warrant further investigation of BIBW 2992 in head and neck cancer."
BIBW 2992 data in NSCLC(2)
In LUX-Lung 2, a Phase 2 study, 444 patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung who were untreated or progressed after one course of chemotherapy were tested for common EGFR mutations. Of the patients who tested positive for EGFR mutations, 129 patients received treatment with BIBW 2992. The overall response rates (primary endpoint) for patients with the common EGFR mutations deletion 19 and L858R were 62 percent and 52 percent, respectively. Median progression-free survival (secondary endpoint) was estimated to be 12 months for the overall group. The most common drug-related adverse events were diarrhea and rash (reported in 95% for each), with 18 percent and 19 percent of patients experiencing grade 3 symptom severity, respectively.
LUX-Lung 2 is part of the comprehensive LUX-Lung clinical trial program evaluating BIBW 2992 in various patient populations, all with NSCLC. This LUX-Lung trial program currently comprises five trials.
"Boehringer Ingelheim is using scientific advances to develop a range of targeted therapies in areas of medical need, including various solid tumors and hematological cancers," said Dr. Andree Amelsberg, Executive Director and Medical Leader Oncology, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "We are pleased with the preliminary results of these Phase 2 studies, which support continued development of BIBW 2992 as a potential new treatment option for head and neck cancer and non-small cell lung cancer."
About head and neck cancer
Head and neck cancer can occur in over 30 different places in any of the tissues or organs in the head and neck(3) and is the sixth most frequently occurring cancer worldwide.(4) Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas,(5) over 90 percent of which express EGFR,(6) which is critical for tumor growth.(7)
About lung cancer
Lung cancer is the world's most common cancer and kills more people than any other cancer. In 2009, approximately 219,440 new cases of lung cancer were diagnosed in the United States, with 159,390 Americans dying from the disease.(8) NSCLC is the most common form of lung cancer, accounting for about 85 percent of all lung cancers.(8)
About Boehringer Ingelheim in Oncology
Building on scientific expertise and excellence in the fields of pulmonary and cardiovascular medicine, metabolic disease, neurology, virology and immunology, Boehringer Ingelheim has embarked on a major research program to develop innovative cancer drugs. Working in close collaboration with the international scientific community and a number of the world's leading cancer centers, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to discovering and developing novel cancer treatments. The current focus of research includes compounds in three areas: angiogenesis inhibition, signal transduction inhibition and cell-cycle kinase inhibition.
BIBW 2992 is currently in Phase 3 clinical development in NSCLC, and was granted Fast Track designation for a treatment indication in NSCLC after prior treatment with an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Apart from BIBW 2992, Boehringer Ingelheim's late stage oncology portfolio includes BIBF 1120, also in Phase 3 development for the treatment of patients in two different indications, advanced NSCLC and ovarian cancer. The ongoing LUME-Lung Phase 3 clinical trial program is investigating BIBF 1120 in combination with standard second-line chemotherapy treatments for patients with advanced NSCLC.
BIBF 1120 is an investigational, orally-administered compound that simultaneously inhibits fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), three of the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) shown to aid in the regulation of angiogenesis. The formation and maintenance of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) play a critical role in tumor growth and metastasis.
In the area of cell-cycle kinase inhibition, Boehringer Ingelheim is developing inhibitors of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1). Plk1 is a key regulator of cell division (mitosis) and is known to be overexpressed in a wide variety of tumors. The company's compound, BI 6727, is currently being investigated in several Phase 2 studies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), NSCLC and urothelial cancers.

Getting Started with the Linux Intrusion Detection System
For MySQL, we need to deny other applications' access to the mysql binary. We also need to restrict access to the mysql/var directory so that it's append=only, and allow read-only access for the mysqld dæmon to the mysql directory:
lidsconf -A -o /usr/local/mysql/var -j APPEND lidsconf -A -o /usr/local/mysql -j DENY lidsconf -A -s /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld -o /usr/local/mysql -j READONLY lidsconf -A -s /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld -o /usr/local/mysql/var -j WRITE
Bind needs a lot of capabilities to run:
lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE 53 -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_SETPCAP -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_SYS_CHROOT -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_SYS_RESOURCE -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_SETUID -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /usr/sbin/named -o CAP_SETGID -j GRANT
Login is the program that allows a user to log in to a GNU/Linux system:
lidsconf -A -s /bin/login -o /etc/shadow -j READONLY lidsconf -A -s /bin/login -o CAP_SETUID -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /bin/login -o CAP_SETGID -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /bin/login -o CAP_CHOWN -j GRANT lidsconf -A -s /bin/login -o CAP_FSETID -j GRANT
After having specified the previous commands, we need to seal the kernel, so that the system can take full advantage of LIDS. We add this line to rc.local:
lidsadm -I
Restart the machine to apply all the new access controls. With the previously mentioned access controls, you will not be able to run the X server as it uses raw I/O, but most servers don't run an X server anyway. If you really need it, add the following access control (this command assumes that your X server binary is located in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx):
lidsconf -A -s /usr/X11R6/bin/startx
As we can see, LIDS is a powerful addition to the Linux kernel, which can secure your system completely, even from the root user. LIDS is also very easy to use.

Access controls for Jboss server.
Hi Irfan,
Your post had been very useful. Thanks first.
I was given the task of binding port 443 to JBoss server.
i have granted the NET_BIND capability on 443 port to Jboss/bin/run.sh subject. But the problem persists with exception as Permission denied :443
Can u pls help wid this.
More Information on LIDS please
Hello Irfan.
I liked your article on LIDS, but am a bit confused by the phrase:
"It is recommended that the LIDS patch be applied only to the original kernel source, not to the distribution-specific source".
I use Suse Linux 10. Does your statement mean I must somehow 'retrofit' a vanilla kernel into my distribution? This would be something well beyond my capabilities and I presume Novell wouldn't like it much either.
Where can I find LIDS?

Brescia midfielder Omar El Kaddouri expects to eventually join Juventus.
The youngster had been in advanced negotiations with Parma, but the move collapsed when he made it clear he was waiting for the Bianconeri.
"It is not normal for Brescia to ask for €3m for a player who effectively is at his first season as a protagonist in Serie B," agent Daniele Striani told Sky Sport Italia.
"That is especially true when we consider his contract expires in June 2013. Parma wanted him, but were not decisive enough.
"Then Juve came and it's evident that when Juventus want you, your priorities change. Omar has a gentleman's agreement with Juventus and he will respect it."

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Police in Little Rock say a 17-year-old girl has become the city's third homicide victim of the year.
Sgt. Cassandra Davis says jasmine Simone Young died at a local hospital and two other teens were wounded in the shooting outside a gas station. Davis says the three were shot while sitting in a vehicle at the gas station Wednesday night while a fourth person in the vehicle was not injured.
Davis says there have been no arrests and the motive for the shooting is unknown.
A police report says a witness inside the station told officers that he saw several people in the parking lot when gunfire began and that three men then ran from the scene.

Ever wonder what Kristen Bell and Jenna Dewan Tatum look like naked? Wonder no more: The actresses, both 33, stripped down to their birthday suits for Allure's annual "Nudes" feature in May's "Look Better Naked" issue.
"I talk a big game about being comfortable no matter my size," Bell, featured in a black and white beach scene, told the magazine, on stands April 29. "I wanted to put my money where my mouth was."
The actress, who welcomed daughter Lincoln with husband Dax Shepard, 39, in March 2013, admits she still has her body hang-ups. "My belly skin has made me self-conscious, and it's only gotten worse since I've had a baby," she adds. "I have definitely and happily used a body double."
PHOTOS: Bell, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Olivia Wilde Pose For Allure Magazine
Dewan Tatum, who gave birth to daughter Everly last June, is a little more at ease au natural. "You sort of lose all modesty as a dancer," the Step Up star, married to actor Channing Tatum, 33, explains. "I also think it's just the way I came out. I've always been free-spirited, and it was hard to keep clothes on me as a kid."
Actresses Minnie Driver, 44 (mother of 5-year-old Henry) and Nia Long, 43 (mom to Massai, 13, and Kez Sunday, 2) also pose nude for the sexy feature.

This secluded cabin offers most of what you would want in a getaway to Door County. Nice views in every direction of fields and forest. Close to tourism hot spots in Sister Bay and Ephraim. Comfortable and plentiful seating. Inviting beds with lots of blankets. A kitchen well equipped for a dinner for six or just making hot cocoa. There's a nice porch and back deck you might use if it wasn't cold and wet outside like it was for us.
The best thing about the rental was the owners. Terry and LInda took the time to make sure we were settled in and happy and Terry even drove in to say hello. For much of the year they live right around the corner. They told us to call with any problems at all. You couldn't ask for better people to rent from. They made checking in and out literally effortless.
But of course, it doesn't hurt that the cabin is full of tiny niceties like plenty of extra towels and toiletries waiting for you in the bathrooms, a good supply of fun... more

Two men cleared in Camacho's death
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP)
Puerto Rico police say forensic evidence has cleared two men suspected in the killing of popular boxer Hector ''Macho'' Camacho.
THROUGH THE YEARSHector "Macho" Camacho had quite the high-profile career. Take a look at a few highlights.
Police spokesman Alex Diaz told The Associated Press on Wednesday that evidence also showed the suspects' impounded car was not used in the crime.
No one has been charged in the Nov. 20 shooting of 50-year-old Camacho and his friend, 49-year-old Adrian Mojica Moreno. They were attacked while sitting in a car in the northern city of Bayamon. Officers found nine small bags of cocaine in Mojica's pocket, and a 10th bag open inside the car.
Mojica died at the scene, while the boxer died three days later after being removed from life support.
Camacho won super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight world titles and had a career record of 79-6-3.

Katy B, "On a Mission" (Columbia)
Because we needed another pop diva named Katy.
Only this time, Katy B is a very different creation than Katy Perry. Whereas Perry attained worldwide fame via accessible melodies, sinfully addictive hooks and good, old-fashioned sex appeal, Ms. B arrived via a very different path.
Katy B's "On a Mission" was released in the U.K. in April, drawing attention for its genre-skipping love of electronic music. Instead of hiring the biggest names in pop music (Perry, for example, worked with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin) B worked with stars of the U.K. underground, including Geeneus, the groundbreaking DJ/founder of Rinse FM radio in London.
After months of U.K. love, which included a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination, "On a Mission" was released stateside earlier this month. And in a way, it's the perfect record for late 2011.
This release is more adventurous and spirited than anything Perry has ever released. And B has a voice that is ideal for the Year of Adele — a full-bodied, voluptuous alto as seductive as it is authoritative.
It helps, too, that her preferred mode — from bass-heavy dubstep to fun-loving house music — has never been bigger. Electronic music is filling arenas as often as rock 'n' roll anymore, and that might just help B become a mainstream presence a la Bassnectar and Tiesto.
The dark beats and sassy vox of "Disappear" make for a savvy update on the trip-hop model, which needed the polish B provides. "Katy on a Mission" is an expert melding of her two worlds, electronic and pop, and she handles the crossover with more grace than the Black Eyed Peas and more street cred than David Guetta.
Katy B and her smart team of producers are teaching a thing or two to pop artists, who've been relying more and more on electronic production for their hits. By focusing on challenging dance aesthetics as opposed to the ease of pop, she's created something that actually sounds different. And you just can't say that about many records in 2011. Ricardo Baca
Various Artists, "Acoustic Cafe" (Putumayo)
Putumayo's work in releasing quality world music is largely unparalleled, and now the respected label is laying the rail for a slightly more local compilation.
"Acoustic Cafe" is Putumayo's first contemporary singer-songwriter mix, and you can't take away from the pedigree of its featured artists. Sarah Jarosz is a rising star in both the bluegrass and folk worlds. Justin Townes Earle, the son of legend Steve Earle, has a talent that runs beyond his privileged bloodline. And the Waifs have spread their Australian folk all over the world for nearly two decades now.
There's even a Colorado boy in there — Gregory Alan Isakov, one of the most prolific voices in the metro area. Isakov, who lives outside of Boulder, has his "The Stable Song" featured here, and it's a winning, sweeping composition deserving of such company.
A couple of the lesser-known standout tracks here come from Brown Bird and Lucy Kaplansky. Brown Bird's understated, bluesy folk music triumphs in their "Danger and Dread," and Kaplansky's "Manhattan Moon" features a memorable, pop-rooted melody that could easily stick in your head — along with her seemingly familiar voice.

Vintage racing: 'If not now, when?'
15th annual Coronado speed Festival
Tomorrow and Sunday, Naval Air Station North Island (Coronado).
Highlights: Vintage racing, car corral, vendors, new-car test drives, military pit crew challenge, aviation displays of vintage and active aircraft, military flyovers.
One-day pass: $35 at the gate; children 12 and younger are admitted free with an adult paid admission.
Two-day pass: $45 at the gate. Active military and families admitted free.
The first time I met Dewey DeButts she was wearing pink gardening gloves while kneeling over race-car parts spread out on a blue tarp at the Coronado Speed Festival. It was 2006 and her French blue 1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite race car was next to her, hood up.
Nobody else was around her "garage area," a 30-by-30-foot square of concrete lined off among the rows and rows of race cars. There was no big motor home, no gang of mechanics. I don't even recall an easy-up canopy. There was just this trim, 5-foot-2 woman from Carlsbad who is a technical writer by trade, specializing in software.
She will be 64 next Wednesday. And she is an inspiration to go vintage racing.
She has never missed a Coronado Speed Festival, first as a spectator and then as a racer. The 15th annual event begins tomorrow on Naval Air Station North Island, the military side of Coronado.
Dewey has always enjoyed cars and grew up watching sports-car races in Maryland. She moved west in 1976 and it was sometime as a spectator at the Coronado races when she said to herself: "If not now, when?" And she went out a bought a race car.
"Because I'd been following foreign sports cars all my life, I decided vintage racing was what I wanted to do," she said. "I'd also been a spectator at Monterey (the annual historic races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in northern California), so I thought 'I want to race at Monterey.' " She made a plan to get a car in the H-production class, which is for small engines less than 1,000cc. That translates to 1 liter or about 61 cubic inches.
"I needed a car I could handle," she said. "And I can't handle a Corvette or a Porsche." I set my goal for a car with race history," she said. One that would qualify for historic racing events at Laguna Seca, Coronado and other tracks that have vintage events.
She found the Bugeye at a vintage race and "this one had my name on it," she said. "We're a matched pair." Her Bugeye had been raced from the early 1970s to 1986 all over Southern California, she said, which qualified it for the events she wanted.
The pint-sized four-cylinder engine had about 48 horsepower from the factory, but the engine has a little overbore to the cylinders and a different crankshaft to give a wee bit more power, she said, while keeping everything period correct. It has been the same blue with the No. 15 since its heyday of racing. And she still hauls it to races on the open, homemade trailer it came with. "It's part of the history," she said.

John Deere L130 Specifications
Strengths Looks good, but it is not really a John Deere. It's a foreign knock off that they pass off as a JD to trap first time lawn tractor buyers. It was pretty.
I will admit that I leave this thing outside all year long and it will start in the spring. I have done so since 2005. Plastic doesn't rust.
Weaknesses It now looks like a dune buggy because the hood will no longer stay on. Mower hood is plastic and the design puts it in close to the hot muffler. If you mow on really hot days, watch out. I asked JD about this and they said it was not a problem. My hood fell off. Looked at their new mowers and they have reinforced he design. They knew about this all the time. One of the lights fell off and melted on the muffler.
Bad mower deck. Uneven cuts, bad design on the drive.
Poor steering. Bad traction. Engine smokes.
Overall Buyer beware. This thing rests on the JD name, which has been sold out.
It may run like a deere, but it cuts grass like a goat.
Thinking of buying a John Deere? you would probably do better with a bottom of the line Sears Craftsman.
I learned the hard lesson.
I will never buy anything from John Deere again!
Strengths Kohler
Weaknesses Scott's originally contracted with John Deere Horicon for their Sabre model. To save money they made them with no grease fittings or bushings (bronze) anywhere.
Overall I tore my brand new mower apart and bored the axle and pressed in bushings and drilled and tapped axle and spindles for grease zerks. Drilled into transaxel and installed 1/4" pipe plug to allow addition of hydraulic fluid. Under $25.00 I have a very special L130.
Weaknesses Front axle breaks, non-servicable transmission (it will lose it's power)
Overall I bought this new in 2003. In 2008 the front axle broke; I replaced it. In 2009 the front axle broke; John Deere replaced it. In 2010 the front axle broke; I replaced it ($60 & I do all the work myself) and am in the process of trading it off. I have about 460 hrs on the machine. I mow about 2 acres.
Strengths Kohler engine good except it smokes and backfires.Cut is fair but not always even.
Weaknesses Steering is sloppy and poor quality.PTO clutch seized up and tore wiring loose -3 wires-re-attached long blk wire and yellow one.Short blk wire with metal connector i am still dealing with.Schematic is poor and not colored same as machine.Can not get power to pto clutch.Seat sw and R|O sw not per schem.ONE BIG MESS.Help.
Overall Poor quality with no longevity.2 bearings on deck wobbly,will go out next.Expect to have steering failure.Not worth the price,built in obsolence.Same quality as the chinese give us.
Weaknesses Replaced pto clutch, and now bearings and pulley need to be replaced in deck. and F
Overall Guess what fellas? I did buy this one from an authorized JD Dealer and they took my money and sold me crap while my husband was overseas. I trusted the name to buy a good no great lawnmower that would be dependable for me to keep the yard cut. Not hardly. I didn't have this much trouble with my Murray Walmart brand that I had for 9 years. Wish I had it back. It cuts uneven too and you already know that the parts "ain't" cheap. Furthermore the cupholder doesn't even hold most 20 oz. drink bottles which was one of the perks for it.:(
Strengths Easy to re-fuel. Easy Access to battery.
Weaknesses Not a John Deere...my bought at Lowe's while I was deployed. She wanted to get a John Deere because they have been around for so long and thought she was getting a quality product. WRONG. Poor traction. Uneven cuts. Hour meter never worked. Very little use.
Overall Piece of $&%#!!!!! I had trouble starting it and was told by Lowes that I had to take it to a JD dealer. Service told me that the carb was bad and it had to be replaced. NO rebuild kit because of plastic needles. 400 dollars for new carb and install new plugs. I asked the service tech what I could to keep this from happening and he said...maybe add some fuel additive with each take...but that these tractors where cheaply made and were not "real John Deere's". Really???? Sure looks like a Deere...and what about "Nothing runs like a Deere"???? Maybe it's time for a lawsuit for "FALSE ADVERTISEMENT"!!!
Strengths safety control
Weaknesses steering wheel difficult to manoveur.transaxle broke in the center!Mower deck wheel broke off too. Blades needs changing often.
Overall Bought at Home Depot. Will not buy JD anymore at least at home depot. Disappointed that JD did not hold up to his name
Strengths kan pop a wheelie,kan run 150 hours with no oil in motor(had oil leak didnt know)
Weaknesses steering wheel riped off replace with a 86 chevy suburban steering wheel,fuel tank leaks replace with 5 gallon fuel cell from summitracing, brake horable put a shift kit in it to help slippage not a bought shift kit of course,slow even for a lawn mower so inject nitrous in it 35 shot,lights suck at night so i installed 6 off road lights on it, blades dull to quick so had buddy make titanium blades for it
Overall NOT WORTH 4,500 PAID FOR IT FROM HOME DE-POT buy from a real jd next time
Strengths None
Weaknesses Everything
Overall JUNK! I will not ever buy a John Deere riding mower again because they can no longer be trusted to sell a product that lasts.Fool me once!
Strengths Kohler motor,cup holder,easy to take deck off,and looks good
Weaknesses K46 transaxle,steering,uneven cut,blades always need sharping,rear tires( no traction)not very good paint,front axle wobbles,deck spindles(no grease fittings),driver weight limit 200 lbs.,only 15% incline, not a true john deere, and to much money for what you get
Overall Really got ripped off.I always wanted a deere saw one at home depot and bought it. That was the biggest mistake I made!I should have done research on this thing.bought it in 2005 no problems until now, deck spindle,trans.with only 135 hrs.on it! I only mow with it.Never buy a L or LA series cheap junk!Buy an old (REAL)deere they will last along time not a few years, or at least buy a cheap tractor use it for a few yrs. then buy a new one.Personly I think the tractor is only worth around $1000.00. very cheesey quality it was no better than the tractor it replaced a $900.00 yard man by MTD. Now that was a good tractor just wish it had the Kohler.

|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (November 2010)
|Look up yardbird in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A yardbird is post-Second World War African American slang for "prisoner", from the notion of prison yards.[1] During the Second World War, in the armed forces it meant "basic trainee", as they spent most of their time in the yards.[2]
In the Deep South of the United States, the word also means chicken. In one explanation for American saxophonist Charlie Parker's nickname being "Yardbird", jazz trombonist and blues singer Clyde E. B. Berhardt in his autobiography I Remember: Eighty Years of Black Entertainment, Big Bands, states:
[Parker] told me he got the name Yardbird because he was crazy about eating chicken: fried, baked, boiled, stewed, anything. He liked it. Down there in the South, all chickens are called yardbirds. Every house has some.[3]
Jazz pianist Jay McShann backs up the story in an interview in 1999:
Charlie [Parker] yelled, 'Back up. You hit a yardbird!' He got out of the car and got it and carried the chicken on into Lincoln. He had it cooked and ate it all in one sitting.[4]
Yardbird was the name of a Usenet child pornography ring,[5] an approximate third of whose members were arrested in 2006; the eponymous leader remains at large.[6]
B-17 bombers[edit]
Yardbird was the nickname given to two United States Air Force B-17 Flying Fortress bombers which flew combat missions over Europe during the Second World War. Both bombers were based at RAF Molesworth in England, as part of the 303d Bombardment Group (Heavy).[7] Yardbird (41-24602), piloted by captain John W. Farrar (360th Bombardment Squadron), was shot down by flak and German fighter aircraft on 29 May 1943, near Pleubian, France.[8][9]
Yardbird II (42-5620), piloted by 1st Lt. Paul S. Tippet (360th Bombardment Squadron), was shot down by two German fighter aircraft over the North Sea, returning from an aborted raid over Emden, on 2 October 1943, with all eleven aboard killed in action.[10][11] It was one of the group's most successful bombers having completed over 43 missions.[12]

NATO leaders have agreed that a large-scale cyber attack on a
member country could be considered an attack on the entire
U.S.-led alliance, potentially triggering a military
The decision marks an expansion of the organisation's remit,
reflecting new threats that can disable critical
infrastructure, financial systems and government without

"Today we declare that cyber defence is part of NATO's core
task of collective defence," NATO Secretary-General Anders
Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference.
In 2007, a series of crippling cyber attacks paralysed much

The interesting thing is when the Jaguars debuted in the NFL their merchandise was hot and since they had a lot of early success people were into the squad.
Now, not so much.
They debuted a new logo without much fanfare, looks a little like the Thudercats logo. What are your thoughts?Powered by Sidelines

Over the years I have had cause to be impressed by this man's writings. Here lately my thoughts are painful so......
Let us forget with generosity, those who can not love us.
temperature is dropping......
The kids are bathed and in bed. The dog fed and petted. Dishes done, left over chili put away. The house, this home has settled as time passes. I closed the damper on the stove and filled it with wood. Set the alarm clock that I will shut off before it goes off. Same basic ceremony with a few exceptions that I have been living for years. Tonight is different, tonight I am lonesome. Just a tinge, a reminder of what it is like to miss somebody. This is not good.....but then again it isn't bad either.

Remembering 'The Nanny,' a Very Jewish Show
The best from Jewcy, our partner site
Each week we bring you a quick look at the best from Jewcy.com, our partner site.
Episodes of The Nanny often seem like one big Yiddish joke, especially when Fran's relatives show up. Fran's mother, Sylvia (Renee Taylor), is a binge-eater—especially when the food is free—while her grandmother, Yetta (Ann Morgan Guilbert), is senile, loves bingo, and generally has no idea what's going on. Sylvia and Fran are always arguing, while Yetta is just comic relief. This conversation from a Season 3 episode in which the family goes to therapy sums up their relationship:
Therapist: So ladies, what brings you to therapy?
Fran: I came because my mother has an obsession with me getting married.
Sylvia: I came because my daughter has a delusion that I have an obsession.
Yetta: I came because they brought me and I don't know how to get home.
The best thing about Fran, and probably the reason she became such a popular character, is that she's so proud of who she is. The Nanny is a classic fish-out-of-water story. Fran couldn't be more different from Mr. Sheffield, with his Upper East Side mansion, butler, and kids in private school. She definitely admired their lifestyle, and yet, there was no way she'd ever change. Fran never succumbed to a makeover, even if Fran's hair got straighter as the years went on, and while her voice became "normal" for a few seconds after eating wasabi, she never expressed hang-ups about it.

NORCO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday he welcomes the threat of a federal judge imposing a prison population cap because the strong prospect of court-ordered inmate releases might be the only way to trigger action by an ideologically polarized Legislature.
"I like the idea of a federal judge threatening us, because this is the only way that in our Capitol there will be action created," Schwarzenegger said in a brief interview after touring a prison in the heart of the Southern California media market. "Because for 10 years now, before I came in, they've been fighting about the same problem. They haven't built anything in a decade, but we've seen this increase in inmates. So something is going to happen because of the judge telling us that he's going to take action if we don't."
Schwarzenegger's comments came as he dedicates a week to selling a $10.9 billion prison construction and sentencing overhaul to both the Legislature and the public.
His trip Tuesday to the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco attracted a bevy of media and followed a tough-on-crime press conference he held Monday with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.
Tuesday night, he was scheduled to meet with Republican legislators, a group that has had a chilly reaction to the softer side of Schwarzenegger's prison plan. It includes a proposal that would qualify lower-level offenders for direct discharge from parole upon their release from prison. Today, he will lead an electronic discussion of the plan at 130 p.m. at www.gov.ca.gov/ask.
The governor also wants to create a sentencing commission that Republicans think would be the state's first step toward letting criminals out of prison before their terms are up.
The governor said in the interview that his corrections fix should hold plenty of appeal for Republicans, mainly billions of dollars to expand prison, jail and juvenile detention space that would accommodate tens of thousands of offenders of all ages at the state and local levels.
As for the Democrats, Schwarzenegger said he envisions a deal that would open the door for changes they want to see in parole and sentencing.
"All of that can be worked out as long as we understand all that is on the table," Schwarzenegger said. "Especially knowing that a federal judge is breathing on our neck and that they're going to release a certain amount of inmates."
Republican Assemblyman Todd Spitzer of Orange toured the Norco prison with Schwarzenegger. He said he is hoping to convince Republicans to ramp up the pressure on Democrats to go along with a prison construction plan by putting the spotlight on violent crime that is occurring in the rival parties' legislative districts.
"We're going to take it to the streets," Spitzer said.
On the Democratic side, Schwarzenegger said that Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata of Oakland has told him that "we can look at (prison construction) in a serious way" and that his party is "serious about creating new facilities."
"I am disappointed that the governor today blamed the Legislature for the state's prison crisis instead of offering ways to attack the problem. As the governor said, we need to show the court short-term solutions. But the governor's only short-term proposal has been ruled illegal. If we are going to meet the court's mandate and avoid potentially disastrous consequences in our prisons, we need viable alternatives," Perata said in a statement.
Perata spokeswoman Alicia Trost said the Democrats "haven't taken anything off the table" when it comes to Schwarzenegger's corrections proposals.
"We're interested in solving the problem," she said.

Dallas man is nation's first to be exonerated without requesting his own DNA review

After serving 12 years in prison on a false rape conviction, a Dallas man has been exonerated through unrequested DNA testing, thought to be the nation's first such case.
Michael Phillips, 57, pleaded guilty in 1990 to raping a 16-year-old girl at a motel where they both lived. He later told authorities his attorney advised him not to risk a trial and had not requested DNA testing while he was in prison.
Phillips' name has been cleared, however, through systematic testing of DNA preserved by the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences in Dallas. The institute includes the Dallas County medical examiner's office and crime investigation lab.
Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins' office initiated the systematic testing in 2007, and since then the program has resulted in 33 exonerations in cases sent back for review, Watkins said in a news release.
On Friday, Phillips was exonerated by Dallas County Criminal District Court No. 3. Well-wishers who packed the courtroom included Johnny Lindsey and about a dozen other exonerees.
Lindsey was freed in 2009 after serving 26 years for a 1981 Dallas rape he did not commit.
For Phillips, the next step is to go before the Texas Criminal Court of Appeals, which is expected to make his exoneration official by signing paper work, said Debbie Denmon, spokeswoman for Watkins' office.
Systematic DNA testing of existing evidence has been a joint project of the Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences and Watkins' office and the district attorney's office.
The project – to review cases in which there was no active investigation of the defendant's guilt – was first suggested in 2007 by Samuel Gross, University of Michigan Law School professor and editor of the National Registry of Exonerations, according to a news release from Watkins' office.
In 2010, Professor Colin Starger of the University of Baltimore School of Law joined the project, with both professors donating their time.
Phillips had raised the issue of DNA testing in 2004, after he was convicted for failing to register as a sex offender, but his request was denied and then forgotten, the release said.


text: My ethical system, like my beliefs about the world in general, is based upon what I see around me and what makes the most sense, and also how I was raised by my parents. I believe that things run the most smoothly when everyone treats everyone else fairly and with respect, and obeys the laws that are meant to protect us. I realize that if you go back far enough, many of our laws and ethical principles have their origin in religion, but that doesn't make them wrong. The people (not God, but people) who set up religious laws were intelligent enough to include many universally valid principles.

You had twelve thousand years
And now it's all over
Five hundred billion tonnes of the purest pack ice and snow
Oh Larsen B, oh won't you fall on me?
Oh Larsen B, desalinate the barren sea

If some predictions are correct the first trans-polar Alaska to Norway Sea Kayak expedition could be possible sometime after 2013. (appx. 2,600miles if you're interested) These days new evidence of climate change is coming fast and furious for anyone who wants to look. What's interesting is that scientist predict that warming in the poles will be 2-3 times greater than on the rest of the planet. According to the IPCC they are also warming much faster. While in the last 50 years the global temperature has rising about 1 F, temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula for example, have risen more than 4 f.
One of the more recent "ice-breakers" (sorry) between scientists and naysayers came in 2002 when we all were treated to the spectacular collapse of the Larson B ice shelf in Antarctica. Something made even more dramatic when you realize that the shelf itself had changed little over the last 12,000 years. Such made-for-tv reactions to climate change happen rarely but do tend to punctuate the problem.
With that in mind Oceans 8 producer and explorer, Jon Bowermaster & his team will be exploring the Larsen Ice Shelf in Antarctica by kayak, sail boat, and on foot over the coming weeks. Their intent is to get as close as they can to what remains of the Larson Ice shelf and document how it is today. Their online dispatches began on December 31st from Puerto Williams, Chile and include both video and audio segments. As of yesterday they were somewhere in the middle of the Drake passage and poor Jon was dealing with a bit of sea sickness. You can follow along here. Suck on some ginger Jon!

With a new selection committee in place, both India discards and hopefuls will be keen to make themselves heard in the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy that starts in Rajkot today. The Challenger has usually been a tournament to reassess the bench. Remember, India are slated to play a plethora of ODIs this season starting with the England series.
Yusuf Pathan, Shikhar Dhawan, Robin Uthappa and Abhimanyu Mithun, all part of the Challengers 'A' team, would know that opportunities in Indian cricket come unannounced.
Yusuf played his last ODI in March. He appeared to have forgotten his hitting point in the IPL-5. Can he redeem himself here?
And how the costliest IPL cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has dropped off. So much so that he doesn't figure in India's 'A' team doing duty in New Zealand.
Of the lot, Uthappa has everything to gain. Although India's ODI team wears a settled look, the openers have had an ordinary association in recent times. Who knows what a couple of breezy innings would do to a career that promised so much at one point.
With the format changed this season, Vijay Hazare champions Bengal will take on India 'A' in the first match.
India 'A': S Badrinath (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan, Ishant Sharma, Parvinder Awana, Abhimanyu Mithun, Pragyan Ojha, Iqbal Abdulla, Harshal Patel, Udit Birla
Bengal: Wriddhiman Saha (captain/wk), Jayojit Basu, Debabrata Das, Subhomoy Das, Sandipan Das, Shreevats Goswami, Sayan Mondal, Arnab Nandi, Writam Porel, Veer Pratap Singh, Ravikant Singh, Sourav Sarkar, Iresh Saxena, Alok Sharma, Laxmi Ratan Shukla

When Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino (pictured) signed with Invicta FC in February, company president Shannon Knapp promised if Cyborg was victorious in her promotional debut she would advance to face Marloes Coenen to become Invicta's inaugural featherweight champion. Well, after annihilating Fiona Muxlow this past Saturday, Cyborg will in fact fight for the 145-pound title at Invicta 6. Cybrog and Coenen will rematch later this summer at a yet-to-be determined venue. According to the trusty rumor mill, the shootout will go down June 29. Cyborg previously posted a TKO win over Coenen at "Strikeforce: Miami" in January 2010. Since that time, Cyborg has fought just three times. The Brazilian was issued a year-long steroid suspension after meeting Hiroko Yamanaka in December 2011. Coenen, meanwhile, has rattled off wins in four of her last five outings. "Rumina's" lone blemish during her current run was a costly one. She was submitted by Miesha Tate for her Strikeforce bantamweight title in July 2011. Invicta 6 will most likely be made available for live viewing via online pay-per-view.

Q. How come it always seems like the guy sitting next to me paid less for his airline ticket than I did? Shouldn't we all be paying the same price?
A. We did, back in the days of before de-regulation, but that was more than 30 years ago and today it's all about supply and demand as airlines attempt to squeeze every last buck out of every last seat-holder. Remember, on every plane today, there are typically ten price points.
Business travelers get hit hardest; they make travel plans at the last minute and last-minute airfares are priciest because they "violate" advance purchase requirements on cheaper fares. Legacy carriers typically require a 14 day advance purchase, which drops to seven days (or less) for discount carriers before your begin being treated as a thicker wallet-ed business traveler.
Leisure travelers who book too early also pay a premium. Buy tickets more than three-and-a-half months ahead of departure for a domestic flight and you'll typically pay more than you have to since the airlines haven't begun actively managing their cheapest priced seats yet.
You'll typically pay more if you book on a weekend as discount prices are removed from reservation systems later in the week. Airlines know we prefer to shop midweek on the boss' dime and that is where they get the most bang for their buck on airfare sales.
Smart travelers shop Tuesdays at 3 p.m.ET. By then, most airlines have launched their weekly airfare sales, and competing carriers have matched those fares to stay in the race for your money.
Q. Last time I flew with my kids, the guy sitting next to my youngest was watching porn on his laptop. What should I have done?
A. This is a case where the flight attendant is your friend. If a meaningful look or an "Excuse me, but there are kids here" comment doesn't work, just press the overhead call button. As American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith told us, "Regardless of the issue, federal law gives flight crews the authority to give instructions to any passenger, whether on this subject or any other."
Q. How come all the airfare sales I see are only good for flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Who wants to fly then?
A. That's the point. Most people don't want to fly in the middle of the week so the airlines have trouble filling those empty middle seats and flying partial plane-loads does not a profitable bottom line make. So they discount to get more behinds in midweek seats. If they can't fill them, they'll use smaller planes, fly fewer of these less popular routes or sometimes discontinue such flights altogether.
Q. I can never find enough overnight flights, which is when I prefer to fly. What's the deal?
A. Maybe the reason you like to fly then is because it's cheaper and those "red-eye" planes often have empty seats to spread out in, but that's because most people aren't like you. If demand for red-eyes suddenly rose, I don't think you'd like them so much anymore - they'd be too crowded. Take what you can get.
Q. I'm sick to death of bag fees. When are the airlines going to drop them?
A. Look out your window next time you're cruising at 30,000 feet. Tell me if you spot any flying pigs out there. That'll be the signal.

Love this article... here's a great line
I don't know about you -- but I never saw Rogers Hornsby play. I take his greatness on faith, based on the remarkable statistics I've seen and the stories I've read and the research I've done. But more than 20% of the people who saw Hornsby play did not vote him into the Hall of Fame his FIFTH TIME ON THE BALLOT. Rogers is out. And, anyway, he apparently was a jerk.
Thanks for posting, that was a fun read.
I also loved the paragraph about what might have been for Feller and DiMaggio.
There is no question they were both great when they played and then they served our country with distinction during WWII--during which time they lost prime years of their careers. Had Feller pitched he might have won 100 more games. Had DiMaggio played he might have reached 3000 hits and won a total of five or six MVP awards. But we are dealing with the world of imagination now. They also might have gotten hurt and not been able to complete their careers. If we are to assume one thing what is to stop us from assuming the other?
Thanks 320.

Love this one:
We hate to lose 'em -- this means we will not have a third baseman in our Hall. But you know, third base is kind of a minor position anyway. If they could play defense, they'd be shortstops, right?
I figured out where he was heading just past Johnny Bench, as he was ready to toss Honus Wagner overboard. Excellent post that, I think, gets around to putting the Hall of Fame into perspective.
