About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »
Boeing Company
Illegal Hiring of Government Officials and Improper Use of Proprietary Information
Date: 05/15/2006 (Date of Settlement Agreement)
Misconduct Type: Ethics
Enforcement Agency: Multiple Agencies
Contracting Party: Multiple Agencies
Court Type: Civil
Amount: $615,000,000
Disposition: Settlement
Synopsis: On May 15, 2006, Boeing and the U.S. Attorney's Office "reached a tentative agreement in the investigation by the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia concerning Boeing's hiring of former Air Force acquisition official Darleen Druyun in 2002 and the investigation by the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California regarding possession of a competitor's information in connection with launch service contracts with the Air Force under the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Program and with a task order with NASA for 19 missions under its launch services contract…Under the proposed agreement, Boeing will pay a total of $615 million. In addition to the $50 million monetary penalty [pursuant to a criminal deferred prosecution agreement], Boeing will pay $565 million to resolve potential civil claims asserted by the Department's Civil Division." Under the agreement, the U.S. Attorney's Office could levy another $10 million penalty and seek to prosecute Boeing over the Druyun matter if, in the two years following the agreement, an executive management employee of Boeing commits certain crimes and the company fails to report it to the Department of Justice. See Boeing Company misconduct instances "Boeing Launch Services Suspension," "United States of America v. Darleen A. Druyun," and "United States v. Michael M. Sears (Boeing CFO)."

Downtown wants to change the way you order and pay for food, starting with its launch today at the Palo Alto's Coupa Cafe, a common startup meeting spot. Although it's easy to make online purchases or order food on your phone for delivery, the way you pay for a meal when you're inside a restaurant has relatively stayed the same.

MATHEMATICS is changing. Not at its deepest levels: today's newest mathematical ideas fit comfortably into the mainstream of mathematical thought. If Newton, Gauss or Hilbert were suddenly resurrected, each would still recognise the activity as mathematics. The change is one of emphasis and style, with more overt attention to the relationship between theory and applications, and more use of the computer as an experimental aid.
These changes have appeared from two directions: research and schoolteaching. The subject is simultaneously changing from the top down and from the bottom up. The task, therefore, that is facing the authors of undergraduate texts, and the designers of undergraduate curricula, is to make sure the changes meet in the middle. I have been worrying that they may not succeed, but this year's new texts offer some grounds for optimism. I hope next year will confirm the trend.
Starting from the bottom: one of the ...

Sierra Club California's Conservation Committee (the CNRCC) meets four times a year, twice a year, together for a weekend in San Luis Obispo (at the Rancho El Chorro park and public meeting facilities there) and twice a year in a one-day video-conference meeting with site locations throughout the state, but at least in Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Our next meeting will be May 30-31, 2015 at Rancho El Chorro. Specific details and info for attending the meeting will be posted on the Club's CALIF_ACTIVISTS listserv as the date approaches.
Every Sierra Club member is welcome to attend. Some members attend as voting delegates from their Chapters. But you don't have to be a delegate.
If you've been looking for a way to get more involved in Sierra Club California and with the work we do to advance environmental protection around our state, this is a great way to not only find out more about what we're about, but also to meet many of our Club leaders at the same time.
It is important for us to track planned attendance and to track our voting delegates for these meetings. As soon as possible, please register below your plans to attend and your Chapter and Club affiliation.
Thank you for all you do to explore, enjoy and protect our wonderful state!

jQuery Image Crop Plugin: Jcrop
For the last weeks, several JavaScript image crop resources are published at WebResourcesDepot. This is because, the increase in use of such interfaces as image-based applications are on the rise & many web applications offer their users to edit their avatars besides only uploading them. So, you may need one of them : ) .
Jcrop is a cross-browser jQuery image crop plugin.
Some features of Jcrop:
- Attaches simply to any image in your HTML page
- Supports aspect ratio locking
- Callbacks for selection done, or while moving
- Keyboard support for nudging selection
- Support for CSS styling
- Advanced API including animation support
P.S. Thanks to Kelly for the suggestion.
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

Yeah this one is good, already seen one jQuery code with similar feature, but plugin is little better.

using jcrop for asp.net component. Visit to:
rocks April 30th, 2009 at 4:36 am
This is very cool and rich of functionality, can we integrate this with Java.
Please suggest.
bham May 29th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
@rocks: no, it will not integrate with java as java unless java has some sort of markup/JS rendering engine that can be embedded.
In a JAVA environment, you would just build your own controls. It's silly to even think JS could be used in a JAVA application.
Cricket May 31st, 2009 at 12:14 pm
@rocks: I believe it can be integrated with JSPs, if that's what you're asking. Just handle the image manipulation on the Java side once you get the coordinates from jCrop.
Ömer Faruk ZORLU September 22nd, 2009 at 9:37 am
This article is using jcrop for asp.net (component).

Hey just wanted to say thank you for the plugin. I replaced an older prototype plugin with this and it is working great!
Sid February 16th, 2010 at 1:58 am
Am trying to implement this inside an iFrame and it works just fine, wiht the following exception:
There is a really ugly and thick black border around the iFrame. I tried adjusting the size of the iFrame, but the black border around the iFrame prevails. The styling for the iFrame conatins no margins, borders, or padding? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Val February 20th, 2010 at 9:38 am
What do you mean by It's silly to even think JS could be used in a JAVA application?
Jordan Walker April 8th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
just looking into how to implement this into codeigniter
malik April 21st, 2010 at 10:58 am
To use it with java you can try build your app with GWT and call Jcrop function as a native method
Rayhan Chowdhury May 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
I am just going to give this script a try in my current CodeIgniter project. I hope I will love it as much as JQuery. Any information regarding CodeIginter integration is appreciated!

The original page if down but the download can be found in the Google Code page (download includes various demos, sadly, that seems to be the only documentation).
Igor September 6th, 2010 at 1:32 am
Do anyone know is it possible to open html page with already opened crop?
rahman December 16th, 2010 at 9:29 am
you can fetch the coordinates of selection and pass it in query string to a serverside script. which in turn renders a div with the main image as background-image and those passed coordinates as background-position
Michael Pope March 14th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
The link isn't broken -> the protocol has a typo.

I can't see the Demo, can someone mention the demo link?
bakkelun October 3rd, 2011 at 9:54 am
I took the liberty of making a PHP library and putting up an enhanced example page which lets the user upload a file, then crop it with preview.
Here's the library: http://hotfile.com/dl/131371190/45e8718/crop.rar.html
bakkelun October 3rd, 2011 at 9:57 am
Forgot to mention: The library supports both direct and file outputting.
- The "direct" just shows it to the browser,
- The "file" allows for the cropped image to be saved. The options to the crop are seen in the cropLibrary.php file.
It's set to be generic, so it will work with other adapters as well, as long as the provided parameters are provided.
Also, thanks to the author for a great jQuery plugin. Have been looking for one for a while.

Fantastic plugin, finished up a requirement in a single evening with it.
Bob May 17th, 2012 at 9:27 am
Hey man,
Great post! Thanks for the info This is an awesome plugin – just what I was looking for.
Kyle December 14th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
I was looking for a similar cropper for my site, but can't seem to find one. This one is still pretty good, but not quite what I need!
Do me a favour and comment if you do find one! Cheers!

CT551--Week 6--Lecture notes
Where Does Technology Come From?
In Volti's Ch. 3, Sources of Technological Change, his topic is where new inventions, techniques, and technologies come from. The short answer is, "not just scientists." There are complex interrelations between various sectors of society. People--meaning the market, politics, even religion--make choices, and this is especially important when alternatives exist. People also drive the evolution of a technology by refinements and improvements (demand-pull). Engineers can and do play a part. Inventors (scientists, engineers, others) provide the revolutionary breakthroughs which create whole new categories of demand (and the breakthrough may not look terribly significant; the transistor made personal computers possible, but games like
made people take the first ones home).
As we noted last week, context is also important. An invention such as hybrid corn can fail in the market largely because those who defined "improvement" and "feasibility" ignored what people would do with the product (tortillas). Babbage's VERY early computer failed because given the technology of the time, his device would work but would be too expensive (labor) and too finicky (too demanding of manufacturing precision) to be more than a one-off concept demo. It took electronics to make the vision real. Technological change thus hung fire for over a century and then in a sense "came from" the appearance of an enabling technology rather than from any single person.
Volti notes that cross-fertilization is common.
He also notes the idea of "effective demand" for a technology, a function of need and desire (which are not the same thing) and ability to pay for the technology. I love Volti's account of why photography succeeded--a growing middle class wanted an "upper class" image, which called for portraits on the walls, and photography was cheaper than painters. Need was hardly there, but desire was, and the technology was affordable.
Are there other areas of technology where "effective demand" is important? For instance, as long as whole-body cloning remains very expensive--never mind that some people find it scary--we need not worry about it replacing the normal mode of reproduction. It seems doubtful that there will be any real "need," even if there is a desire. But how about heart transplants? Cloning is not involved, just removing viable organs from the newly dead and matching them to the tissue types of potential recipients. Technology is certainly involved, from the drugs that suppress the immune system so the organ is not rejected to
the apparatus used for shipping
the organs. It's expensive, too. Is there desire? Need? Can we afford it? These are genuine questions, and they can have real effects on public policy. Consider
how the Jehovah's Witnesses have thought of heart transplants
. Desire and need have conflicted in the past, but desire has changed. Why? Do you think attitudes will change in similar fashion in regard to other new technologies, such as genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering is another interesting example. Applied to food crops, there may be a real need--it holds immense potential to increase yields and decrease the use of toxic chemicals (pesticides). It is very economical. But currently it faces political obstacles driven by fear (in Europe, the "Mad Cow Disease" or BSE experience has left many very anxious about the application of technology to agriculture--though "Mad Cow" involved very conventional, traditional technology, the use of slaughterhouse waste products in animal feed; it had nothing to do with genetic engineering). Here, desire is the problem.
For a brief history of BSE,
click here.
For a depressingly huge array of source material,
click here.
Volti's remarks on planned vs. unplanned economies are also worth noting. Note how this connects to the problems highlighted by the Hindsight study and its kin (see below). Progress cannot be planned.
In Volti, Ch. 4, Scientific Knowledge and Technological Advance, let us begin by asking whether science and technology are different things. We tend to link the two in our minds, but technology (know how) existed before science (know what, know why). Think of Kepler and the beer kegs. Trial and error works. In addition, technology can pose problems for scientists to try to understand; it can also produce techniques and tools scientists can use in the search for understanding (telescopes, microscopes, etc.).
So what advantage do we gain from the scientific approach?
Science differs from technology in that science is aimed at discovering knowledge for its own sake; technology is aimed at using knowledge. Science asks, "Is it true?" Technology asks, "Will it work?" There is some crossover, and the two do feed each other.
Science says the world is knowable; technology says it will always be possible to do something better. Science converges on a single understanding, while technology finds many possible solutions to a single problem.
The two are alike (they share a "common culture") in that they both:
Are based on the gathering of knowledge
Advance through cumulative development
Share a rational orientation and hence a propensity to challenge traditional intellectual authorities
Are dedicated to communication of organized knowledge
Are imbued by a sense of optimism and progress
A very interesting question is why studies such as the Hindsight Study (pp. 59-61) find so little link between science and technology. What do you think? Is there no link at all? Or does the short time-horizon Volti notes explain it?
Click here
to see a bit about where Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) came from (the
Beyond Discovery parent site
here is a treasure trove of information on the roots of many other technologies). The technology is not old, but its roots go back a century! The shift from research to application often happens years later and in a different place, which annoys funding sources that want to see results here and now.
Need, desire, and affordability appear again when we look at the arguments over open-access publishing (Taking Sides Issue #20). Traditional academic publishers put a great deal of effort (and money) into running their journal-publishing operations. This includes getting submissions peer-reviewed for quality, paying editors, and of course printing and distributing the final package. The result is very expensive journal subscriptions, to the point where many college and university simply cannot afford them. This of course interferes with the "communication" component of the science-technology common culture.
One answer that has been proposed--and is increasingly being put into practice--is open-access publishing, defined as putting peer-reviewed research articles online, free of charge, and without most copyright and licensing restrictions. It can be done instead of standard publishing, in parallel with it, or after a period of time (often 6 months to a year). The result is enhanced access by the public (as well as other academics) and a boost to academic communications. Note that open-access publishing is very much a product of changes in technology (meaning the Internet!).
But the traditional academic publishers object on the grounds that it cuts into their income and thus their ability to survive. Should they be looking more closely at the technology that enables open-access technology and trying to use it instead of objecting? This is a question that can be asked in the context of Google Books (scanning library holdings to make everything available online), recorded music and video (the RIAA and MPAA are infamous for suing illegal file-sharers), and more. It boils down to asking whether any business has a right to continue its operations as it is accustomed to doing? Certainly many businesses would love to shut down innovative competitors (one method is to buy them out), but it doesn't usually work, at least not for long.
Questions for Discussion
1. The idea of "effective demand" -- need, desire, and ability to afford -- as an essential prerequisite for the development of a technology (or an application of a technology, a product) is intriguing. Apply the concept to the development of the iPod.
(Click here for a history.)
Was there a real need to meet? A real desire? Is "afford" an issue?
2. In what sense are science and technology subversive?
3. In what ways is the "common culture" shared by science and technology also shared by the institution of education?

A man has been jailed after he admitted having sex with a goat.
Robert Newman, 23, assaulted the animal in a barn in Devizes, Wiltshire in April.
Newman, of Potterne Road, Devizes, initially denied the charge but later changed his plea.
Newman was jailed for six weeks for the attack, which North West Wiltshire Magistrates' Court heard had left the goat needing veterinary treatment.
At the time of the assault Newman was the subject of an eight week suspended sentence for a burglary in August last year.
Gail Chilcott, chair of the bench, activated the suspended sentence, which will run concurrently.

Kelp is rich in iodine, something many people don't get enough of.
Instead we ingest large quantities of nitrates and perchlorates, which can cause thyroid problems, especially in people with an iodine deficiency. The nitrates mostly come from preservatives in meat. The perchlorates mostly come from solid-fuel rockets and runoff from military installations, and are concentrated in the leaves of irrigated salad crops.
To learn more about these problems, here are some articles from google scholar.
Kelp has a high iodine content. The iodine content varies greatly from one sample to the next.
Excessive iodine can aggravate thyroid problems. Tell your doctor what you're doing and don't over do it.
Step 1: Gather Kelp
Only gather kelp that's either drifting freely or has washed up on the beach. If there's current, here's how to tell if kelp is anchored without even touching it: If the "head" is pointing upstream, the kelp is anchored. If the "head" is pointing downstream, it's drifting freely.
If you still see a lot of the stem floating at high tide, the kelp is drifting. At low tide you'll see a lot of stem even on anchored kelp.
Here I am off the coast of Northern California. I found this bunch of kelp drifting in the current.
Put it in a bag or other closed container before you get to the beach, you don't want your kelp to get sandy.
Step 2: Rinse the Kelp
It's easier to wash the sand off in salt water than it is in fresh water.
If you want your dried kelp not to be so salty, rinsing in fresh water will do that.
I like mine salty.
Thank you for this and all your very helpful, useful instructables.
Hope to see you at Maker Faire.
Yes, there is radiation from the 2011 plant meltdown, no, it isn't enough to be alarmed about eating things from the California coast.
I have a book on cooking with sea vegetables if you would like to borrow it sometime.
If it is red and fluffy, it might be dulse, but I'm not sure.

COVINGTON -- Perhaps things are looking up in this glum economy, at least for one local development site. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and Restaurant may be locating at Ga. Highway 142 and Lochridge Boulevard next year, and at least two other businesses have expressed interest in the same area.
Cracker Barrel is targeting the northeast lot along Lochridge, near the Hampton Inn, according to Morris Ewing Jr. of Ewing Southeast Realty, the property owner.
Cracker Barrel representatives have signed a letter of intent to locate at the site but have not secured all the necessary corporate approvals, according to Ewing. Cracker Barrel had previously considered a nearby lot but backed out in 2009 due to the economy, Ewing said.
If all goes as planned, the restaurant would be built next spring.
"The No. 1 request we receive from anyone is for more restaurants," Ewing said. Mellow Mushroom has also shown preliminary interest in a nearby lot and discussions are also under way with Kauffman Tire.
Ewing Southeast Realty owns approximately 18 acres along the highway, spanning from the former site of the Brentwood duplexes to Interstate 20, proposed to be developed with a mix of mostly retail and restaurants.

Updated for 2013. By definition, a "rule of thumb" is meant to be a greatly simplified estimate for a complicated matter. Mortgage lenders use income size, income stability, credit score, downpayment size, and other factors before approving a loan. But the most common way to express affordability is as a multiple of your household or individual annual income. CNN Money says 2.5 times:
The rule of thumb here is to aim for a home that costs about two-and-a-half times your gross annual salary.
The now-defunct Washington Mutual Bank suggested up to 4-5 times:
As a broad generalization, most people can afford to purchase a house worth about three times their total (gross) annual income, assuming a 20% down payment and a moderate amount of other long-term debts, such as car or student loan payments. With no other debts, you can probably afford a house worth up to four or even five times your annual income.
Running Your Own Numbers
I decided to run some numbers for myself using values I think are reasonable along with current interest rates. The Federal Housing Administration provides the following guidelines for the loans that they accept:
- The front-end debt-to-income ratio – mortgage payment (PITI) divided by gross income – should be less than 31%.
- The back-end debt-to-income ratio – mortgage payment plus all recurring monthly debt, all divided by gross income – should be less than 43%.
Here are some other quick and dirty assumptions based on the average US household:
- US Median household income is around $50,000 gross a year, or $4,200 a month.
- Taxes and homeowner's insurance. CNN reports the national averages to be $3,500 for annual property taxes and $481 for annual homeowner's insurance premiums. Together that's $330 a month.
- Credit card debt. The Federal Reserve reports the average household credit card debt to be about $7,000. The underwriting guidelines use minimum payments, so if you assume a 3% minimum payment that's $210 a month.
- Car loans. Experian reports that the average monthly loan payments was $452 for new cars and $351 for used cars (source). Let's use $400 for this exercise and assume one new car per household.
- Current 30-year fixed mortgage rate is about 4.25%.
20% Down Payment, 31% Front-End Ratio
Using a 31% front-end ratio, that means PITI (principal + interest + taxes + insurance) can be $1,300 a month. Taking out $330 for taxes and homeowner's insurance, that leaves us $970 a month for principal and interest. With a 20% downpayment and a 4.25% interest rate, that works out to roughly a $198,000 maximum loan size and $248,000 maximum total home price = 5 times gross income.
20% Down Payment, 43% Back-End Ratio
Using a 43% back-end ratio and the average consumer debt numbers from above, we start with $1,806 and take out $330 for taxes and HO insurance, $210 for credit card payments, $400 for car payments. That leaves us with $866 for the mortgage payment at 4.25%. The resulting $176,000 max loan size with 20% down payment gives a $220,000 total home price = 4.4 times gross income.
5% Down Payment, 31% Front-End Ratio
The minimum down payment amount for a FHA loan is actually only 3.5%, but you will be subject to additional mortgage insurance of ~1.25% of the loan amount annually. Having to pay PMI means less money available to go towards the loan, so our numbers now only give us a $163,000 max loan size. With a 5% down payment, that means a total home price of $171,000 = 4.4 times gross income.
5% Down Payment, 43% Back-End Ratio
Doing the same calculation using the 43% back-end ratio which takes into account other consumer debt payments, you end up with only roughly $146,000 max loan size and loan and total home price of $154,000 = 3.1 times gross income.
As you can see, even trying to create a simple rule of thumb becomes very difficult due to all the potential variables out there. However, 3 to 5 times gross income does turn out to be a reasonable place to start. More importantly, hopefully this example will help you run some numbers on your own. As always, just because someone is willing to lend you a certain amount, doesn't mean you have to take it!

Gibson fed up after D-backs' latest painful blown save
JUL 11, 2013 1:32a ET
After the Diamondbacks' bullpen blew its major league-leading 19th save opportunity in a 7-5, 14-inning loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday, Gibson made it clear that things must change in the late innings.
Role reversals. A trade or two. Promotions.
It sounds as if anything and everything could be on the table -- anything that will keep the D-backs from struggling to finish games the way they have struggled so far.
"We have to figure out some things so that some guys get some outs later in the game. That's (almost) 20 times. It is just too hard on a team. They play all the innings like this. It's a shame," Gibson said.
"We have to be much better to continue to stay in the race than we have been in the first half. That's record-setting. We try to put guys in situations, and it hasn't worked. We will certainly look at different options."
Wednesday's loss was especially grating given that it came n a swing game against the suddenly formidable Dodgers.
The D-backs needed only one more out in the ninth inning when closer Heath Bell walked Adrian Gonzalez and gave up singles to Hanley Ramirez and A.J. Ellis, the two who later homered in the top of the 14th for the final margin.
"Unacceptable," Gibson said of Bell's walk.
Added Bell, "I've faced Adrian a lot. He knows me. I know him. A pitch got away from me, and I ended up walking him. I thought I could get Hanley out, but it didn't happen that way. I feel really bad because I let everybody down. We definitely should have won that game."
The Dodgers appear to be the D-backs' main challenger in the NL West moving forward, and by sweeping the three-game series here, they moved within 1 1/2 games of first place with four games remaining until the All-Star break.
Los Angeles has won 15 of its last 18 games, Ramirez and Yasiel Puig are hitting close to .400, and the rotation headed by Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and now Ricky Nolasco may have replaced the Giants' as the top 1-2-3 in the division. The Dodgers have gained seven games on the D-backs since they took two out of three games in the brawl series June 10-12, and it is hard to image them going away soon.
Which makes it more imperative to win the games you should, the reason the D-backs signed J.J. Putz to a contract extension and traded for Bell over the winter.
J.J. Putz opened the season as the closer, and he had his share of difficulties before suffering a strained right ulnar collateral ligament on May 7 that kept him out for seven weeks. Bell took over from there, and while he leads the team with 15 saves, he recently went through a stretch in which he gave up home runs in five straight games and in six of 10. He has converted only two of his last five save chances.
The D-backs have won seven of the games in which they have blown saves, but that is doing it the hard way, the more stressful way. The season is long enough without having to sweat out every game.
"It's tough to keep grinding as a position player," catcher Miguel Montero said. "I still believe in my guys. I still trust them, but you have to make adjustments. Obviously it's tough, but it's not easy for them, either."
Part of the reason the D-backs lead the major leagues with 19-one run victories and 10 extra-inning victories is that the bullpen has put them in those spots so often. Part of the reason they won the 2011 NL West pennant was the Putz and his crew were so efficient, but the opposite has been the case this year. Bell, Putz and setup man David Hernandez have blown five saves apiece, with all three tied for second in the league behind the Cubs' James Russell, who has six. Putz's ERA is 3.63, but the others have marks over 4.50.
Brad Ziegler could be an option moving forward. The D-backs like him in the seventh inning, or whenever runners are on base, because of his severe ground-ball lean. The main thing is that he gets outs, and that is what this situations needs.
The last-place Brewers, who come to town Thursday, have relievers they appear willing to deal in Francisco Rodriguez, Mike Gonzalez and John Axford. But Rodriguez does not appear to be a good fit, and Axford -- at $5 million this season -- costs too much.
The D-backs have told other teams that they will not trade young starters Tyler Skaggs or Archie Bradley in any deal, but top minor league position players such as Matt Davidson and Chris Owings could be available at the right price. The price, of course, is the sticking point.
It is a puzzle that, 10 minutes after an excruciating loss, Gibson was not ready to tackle.
The answer?
"I'm not sure I have it," he said.
"I'm sure I'll be up early thinking about it."

Quick Tip: DoFollow Sites
I started to do link building again for various sites and blogs. Searching for DoFollow sites is hard if you don't know where and how to start. First I tried to find the sites what have "CommentLuv" plugin installed. After I tried to find directories with dofollow blogs and sites, and I found several like DoFollow.us and Links DoFollow.com. Anyway if you are interested to find such sites, a simple search on Google is not enough. Each sites is pretty unique from this point of view, and even if a blog is nofollow free, is very possible to have a limit of minim X comments until it will do your links dofollow.
Also if you want to check a site if is nofollow free you can use NoFollow Firefox addon from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nodofollow/ . NoFollow Addon is helping me to see (is highlighting the links with blue if is do follow and red if is nofollow) if the sites is using nofollow on comments or not.
Do you want to reward your commenters from your blog? Then use CommentLuv and Show Top Commenters plugins in wordpress.

Also the battery is not bad at all, 6.7 hours on 3G or 14 hours on 2G and 17.8 days on 3G standby. I should charge it every 2 or 3 days, but this is not a problem at all.
The only bad thing was the price. I want to get it now and I should pay some extra to get it, because the phone is not launched in Eastern Europe and I get it from England, it was more expensive than the original price. Anyway, if you have patience, probably you can get it at a decent price.
If you are an Android developer this phone is a must, you should get it right away, because it came with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and you will have all Google updates on time.
Anyway a full review and more impressions you can found here: Samsung Google Nexus S – The new Android phone from Google.
Debian Installer 6.0 Release Candidate 1 release
I'm curios how this Debian installer will look. The features are amazing:
Live Installer
Grub 2
Kernel 2.6.32
Xen support
UserMode Linux Support
This are just several features. For more just check:
1. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Team
2. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata
3. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer
New local kernel exploit
This is a little bit old, but is worth to mention it because on a lot of system is still working. The proof of concept code and a lot of details you will find here: http://bit.ly/fYpOtx . This exploit is based on 3 vulnerabilities found by Nelson Elhage (probably because of that exploit is named full-nelson). As I said the exploit is based on 3 vulnerabilities CVE-2010-4258, CVE-2010-3849 and CVE-2010-3850. The last 2 vulnerabilities are based on Econet protocol driver. If you don't have this driver loaded exploit will not work. The first vulnerability was founded on 22.214.171.124 and is based on do_exit function which doesn't handle properly a KERNEL_DS get_fs value.
Anyway the last 2 vulnerabilities were fixed on Debian Security Advisory 2126-1 and without them exploit is not working, so upgrade your computers.
Vino-server (VNC) doesn't work
I experienced another nasty bug with vino server and Ubuntu 10.10 (some reports the same thing on other Distros, even on older versions of Ubuntu): After authenticating on VNC, the client windows is not updated.
All the events are sent by mouse correctly on the desktop (you can see the mouse moving and reacting at left/right click), but the VNC client window is not updated, in other words I see only the first image what I get it when I connected first time.
I found a workaround for this problem: uninstall compiz and everything will be all right. I believe this is a bug in vino-server and should be fixed on the next updates, but until then, removing the compiz is the best workaround. The bug is already reported here.
Good Luck!
vino-server doesn't start (crash)
I installed the alpha version of Ubuntu 10.10 and I had a small problem: VNC Server (vino-server) doesn't start. If you take a look on your home folder, in file .xsession-errors probably you will find:
13/10/2010 07:47:39 PM Autoprobing TCP port in (all) network interface
13/10/2010 07:47:39 PM Listening IPv6://[::]:5900
13/10/2010 07:47:39 PM Listening IPv4://0.0.0.0:5900
13/10/2010 07:47:39 PM Autoprobing selected port 5900

13/10/2010 07:47:39 PM Advertising security type: 'VNC Authentication' (2)
** Message: Received signal 11, exiting...
I read a lot of solutions from internet about how to fix that and I will try to describe them here:
First, was the reinstall:
$ sudo aptitude reinstall vino-server
But doesn't work for me.
Second, was to replace vino-server binary from /usr/lib/vino with the binary from Ubuntu 10.4, that worked, but I wasn't totally satisfied (what it will happen at next upgrade ?)
After I study a little bit, the bug from Ubuntu launchpad, I found the best solution for me:
I disabled uPNP from my router. Yes, it is so simple. On my Linksys router I found uPNP under Administration -> Management.
So, no changes on my workstation and VNC works great.
Good Luck!

Pillowcase Wish Flags
Activity DesignerMelissa Allen
400 Projects
Prayer flags seem to be very popular in our city. They are wonderful to look at and inspired us to make a set of our own.
What You'll Need
How We Did It
Here's some background on prayer flags. They really are so beautiful... "A prayer flag is a colorful rectangular cloth, often found strung along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas. They are used to bless the surrounding countryside and for other purposes. Prayer flags are believed to have originated with Bon, which predated Buddhism in Tibet. In Bon, shamanistic Bonpo used primary-colored plain flags in healing ceremonies in Nepal."
If you don't have an old pillowcase to use you can easily find one for under $1 at a thrift shop.
Once they had their ideas ready they got to work adding them to the flags. My daughter drew a lady bug (that she hopes she will become in a camp play).
After they finished up with the drawings we painted right on top with watercolor paints (I went with watercolors since my two-year-old was participating, but for a more permanent paint you could water down some acrylic paints).

The film opened with a surprising $33.4 million, but didn't quite live up to the first Spy Kids film. In the end, it grossed $111 million in North America. However, its overseas intake was double that of either of the first two Spy Kids films, at $85.3 million, grossing a worldwide total of $197,011,982, making it the highest grossing film in the series. The film had a 3D effect which was not removable in the DVD, but only for some European DVD releases. Included with the package was two 3D effect glasses, made of cardboard (Silver Screen Retail).
The film score was composed by Robert Rodriguez and is the first score for which he takes solo credit. Rodriguez also performs in the "Game Over" band, playing guitar, bass, keyboard and drums, including the title track, "Game Over", performed by Alexa Vega.

After the 2010 season, Eagles coach Andy Reid decided to fire defensive coordinator Sean McDermott and replace him with the man who coached the team's offensive line for 13 years. Though Reid remains committed to Castillo — surely because to dump him now would mean that it was a mistake to hire him in the first place — the team is considering options for improving the performance of the defense.
Report: Philadelphia Eagles will consider bringing in a defensive consultant
