Long-serving midfielder Britton and summer signing Emnes are both struggling with knee problems and are facing a few weeks on the sidelines.
Swansea revealed Britton is suffering from a badly bruised bone in his knee, while Emnes has a meniscal (cartilage) problem.
Britton and Emnes are set to undergo further scans on their injuries next month to find out how long the pair will be sidelined for.
The duo missed Sunday's pre-season 4-0 win over Plymouth Argyle and the club expect them to miss the big Premier League kick-off against Manchester United on August 16.

I ordered the elevation burger coffee shake and fries. First, the idea of the restaurant is great. I love the organic meat. A great burger consists of 3 components, the meat, the cheese and the bun. The meat was tender but seriously lacked seasoning. Some simple salt and pepper would have done. The bun was too small and got incredibly soggy, I had to eat my burger with a fork and knife! The cheese wasn't bad, but really only cheddar as a choice? My shake was delish and the fries were average. The service was pleasant. Every single worker was polite and kind, which is difficult to experience sometimes in other establishments. When it comes down to it .. When burgers are the main item on your menu, you just gotta get it right! This was a miss for me. Rethink your bun and add some seasoning in the meat, and I would return.

Ate at Elevation Burger today and didn't realize it till an hour later that I just had a Burger, Fries and Shake and don't feel like could die. The food was great, burger just right with toppings. The Balsamic Mustard was unique and tasty. Fries crisp, could've used more salt but great. The shake was thick and tasty. I got a coffee and strawberry and enjoyed every moment of it on a chilling January Day.

I ate here one day and I can honestly say that I have had much better and probably cheaper burgers and fries elsewhere. The worst was the fries which they cooked in olive oil and were greasy and bland. The burger wasn't so great either.

University of Utah officials have changed course on a proposed policy that would have banned recreational skateboarding and bicycling on campus.
On Monday, the school's Executive Committee approved a new proposal that would beef up enforcement of current campus safety policies and promote efforts to educate skateboarders and bicyclists on cautious riding.
"The intent is to enforce the rules of safety and make sure folks are abiding by them and education at the same time, more than we have in the past," campus spokesman Keith Sterling said.
The new policy will be reviewed by the university's Academic Senate prior to final approval, Sterling said.

Since 2008, more than 1,000 Zero Energy Ready Homes have been built, saving owners millions of dollars in utility bills while increasing comfort, health and durability. From Vermont to Washington, buyers have done the math and know their monthly utility bill savings easily exceed the additional monthly mortgage cost for a high-performance home. And, through the Department of Energy's Challenge Home program, which targets 40 percent minimum energy savings, an ever-increasing number of builders are committing to construct Zero Energy Ready Homes. DOE chief architect Sam Rashkin, builders and homeowners around the country invite journalists to tour these houses, which Rashkin believes are the future of housing.

There were several reports of lightning bugs (fireflies) throughout the state last week. Some people correlate fireflies with corn rootworm larval hatch in the Midwest. Based on conversations with Marlin Rice, former ISU entomologist, and Mike Gray, entomologist from University of Illinois, they believe these events are unrelated. Instead, corn rootworm hatch predictions are more accurately based on temperature accumulations.
Research shows about fifty percent of corn rootworm larvae will hatch from 684 to 767 accumulated growing degree days (base 52 F). The map below displays the number of accumulated degree days from Jan. 1 to May 25 for Iowa. Corn rootworm hatch should be happening in the southeast part of the state. Other parts of the state should experience larval hatch in the next 7 days.
Accumulated growing degree days (base 52 F) in Iowa from Jan. 1 – May 25, 2010. Fifty percent corn rootworm hatch is expected to occur between 684 and 767 degree days. This map was created by Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Department of Agronomy at Iowa State University.
Scouting Ideally, every corn field should be inspected for corn rootworm larvae after reaching 50 percent hatch. Non-Bt fields are most susceptible to larval damage and should be considered a priority. Continuous Bt corn fields with previous damage should also be scouted. Sample for larvae by digging up corn plants and washing the roots in a bucket; larvae should float to the top of the water. Sample corn plants in different areas of the field to estimate infestation levels.

Many people currently are asking how to collect nematode samples from strip trials of corn treated with new seed-treatment nematicide products. Avicta® Complete Corn and Votivo™ are the two products commonly being compared.
Avicta® Complete Corn, which was widely available to corn producers for the first time in 2010, is a combination of the Avicta seed treatment nematicide (active ingredient abamectin), a seed treatment insecticide and three seed treatment fungicides. Votivo™ is a biological seed treatment containing the bacterium Bacillus firmus that will be available in 2011.
There are no clear guidelines on how to collect samples for nematodes to compare treatments in strip trials. But here are some points to consider.
• The new seed-treatment nematicides provide early season, not season-long, nematode protection; duration of protection is not specified or known. Differences in nematode numbers due to the nematicides may occur early in the season (four to six weeks after planting), when the nematicides are having an effect, and not later in the growing season.
• There are many different species of corn nematodes and they vary in their generation times. For example, the root-lesion nematode can complete a generation in 30 to 50 days; dagger nematode will have only one generation in an entire growing season. The likelihood of detecting a difference in nematode numbers among treatments depends on what nematodes are present in the field and when the nematode samples are taken. It is unlikely that there will be any difference in nematode numbers detected among treatments in samples collected four to six weeks after planting if the predominant plant-parasitic nematodes in the field are those with long generation times like the dagger nematode.
• Populations of plant-parasitic nematodes are extremely variable in fields. Even when consistent sampling methods are used across strips, nematode numbers from the samples will be highly variable. To determine if a treatment is having any consistent effect on nematode numbers, it is critically important to collect numerous sets of samples across strips of treatments and to compare numbers from all samples. One set of numbers from one set of samples collected across strips will not provide any useful information.
• Soil and root samples should be collected to assess nematode numbers. Roots are needed because some plant-parasitic nematodes feed almost entirely inside corn roots during the growing season; their numbers can be deceivingly low in the soil. Whole plants can be submitted if plants are relatively small (see image); otherwise, root balls should be submitted.
Collect several plants or root balls from each sampling area or "plot" so nematodes can be extracted from root tissue.
• It is difficult to determine where to collect samples from strips. One suggested method is to collect 20 12-inch-deep soil cores and a few plants or root-balls from a four- or eight-row wide by 25- to 50-foot-long area of each strip. The sampled area will serve somewhat like a plot for each treatment. Collect sets of samples from "plots" in a straight line (or transect) across the various treatments in the strips. Ideal places to locate the transects in the field would include: 1) areas suspected of having damaging nematode populations, 2) areas where there is poor corn growth and 3) areas with uniform soil conditions (and hopefully uniform nematode populations).
• Soils with higher than 70 percent sand content can be infested with needle and sting nematodes, and these nematodes are difficult to recover in samples collected in the middle of the growing season. If needle and sting nematode infestations are suspected, collect soil samples from strip trials within the first four to eight weeks of the season. There's no need to collect root samples for these nematodes as both species exist exclusively in the soil.

The Iowa Emerald Ash Borer Team confirmed the presence of emerald ash borer (EAB) in Iowa on May 14. Four EAB larvae were found in one ash tree along the Mississippi River just two miles south of the Minnesota border in Allamakee County. The infested area is owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Iowa EAB Team is made up of members from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, USDA Animal Plant Health Inspections, USDA Forest Service, and Iowa State University Extension. The team has been scouting for EAB since 2003 using several detection methods.
Description Larvae are creamy white with a brown head and are legless. They have flattened, bell-shaped body segments (Fig. 1). Adults have metallic green forewings and copper red abdomens, and are approximately three- to five-eighths inch long (Fig. 2). Adults emerge from May to August and leave distinctive "D" shaped exit holes in the outer bark of branches and trunk (Fig. 3). Many other wood-boring beetles can be confused with EAB (e.g., bronze birch borer, two-lined chestnut borer, white-spotted pine sawyer, cottonwood borer). It is important to distinguish native wood boring beetles from EAB. Adults can be sent to ISU for positive identification.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Why care about EAB? The first EAB confirmed in the U.S. was in southeastern Michigan in 2002. Larvae kill North American ash species, including green, white, black and blue ash. Larvae feed on phloem just below the bark and create serpentine tunnels, or galleries, that eventually kill trees (Fig. 4). Adults will feed on leaves and create notches on leaf edges.Several symptoms occur in EAB-infested ash trees. • Vertical fissure on bark• Serpentine galleries exposed if bark removed• Galleries are filled with sawdust-like frass (excrement)• Increased woodpecker activity• Canopy dieback begins in top third of tree (Fig. 5)• Shoots form at the base of the tree

Throughout the winter I heard several presentations about isopods, a new early-season soybean pest in the Midwest. Isopods are terrestrial crustaceans most closely related to lobsters and crabs. They have many common names, such as woodlice, pillbugs, sowbugs, and roly-polies.
Appearance Although isopods have three major body regions (head, thorax and abdomen) like insects, it is very difficult to distinguish the regions because of the armor-like plates on the back. They have two pair of antennae (usually only one pair is obvious), seven pairs of legs and simple eyes (Fig. 1). Immatures look like adults except are smaller in size and proportion. Most isopods are grey or black and some have dark markings on the back. Adults are oval in shape and three-eighths inch long. In general, the back is convex and the underside is flat or concave.
Figure 1. Isopods have become early-season pests in neighboring states.
Behavior Isopods are omnivores that scavenge on dead and decaying plant or animal matter. They will also eat live, young plants such as fruit and vegetables. All life stages breathe through gills, so they must live in habitats with high humidity. No-till field crops can be attractive to isopods because they are protected under crop residue. Isopods are most active in the spring, often feeding at night. Isopods are skittish and some species curl up into a ball when disturbed (Fig. 2).
Figure 2. Some isopods curl up when threatened.
Damage Increasing acreage of no-till systems will encourage isopod development because high moisture is needed for survival. Some areas in Kansas and Nebraska have already experienced economically damaging levels of isopods that required replanting in soybean (Figures 3 and 4). When scouting for other early-season soybean pests, look for clipped or missing plants. Isopods can also feed on unifoliates and scrape off leaf tissue. Managing fields for isopods is difficult because seed treatments and foliar insecticides have not proven effective. Heavily infested areas could till every other year to minimize overwintering populations and reduce soil moisture in the spring.

Erin Hodgson, ISU Extension entomologist, talks about current insect activity which is minimal but will increase with the rise in temperatures. Alison Robertson, ISU Extension plant pathologist, discusses whether the early application of fungicides creates any benefit and offers a quick update of current field diseases.

Several factors may delay postemergence herbicide applications. When this happens it is important to be aware of restrictions on the label based on corn size or growth stage. The reasons for these restrictions vary among products, but may involve crop tolerance and prevention of residues in soil or grain. When making application to fields that received frost damage, remember to consider the number of leaves lost to frost.
Another consideration with delayed applications is the size of weeds. The likelihood of the herbicide providing control of weeds larger than specified on the label should be considered.
Several products allow applications to larger corn if a directed application is made. In these situations the sprayer needs to be set up so that nozzles direct the spray between the corn rows to minimize the amount of spray interacted by the crop and to improve coverage of weeds.

Western bean cutworm (WBC) is a corn pest that has been expanding it's range across Iowa and into more eastern states. Beginning in 2003, Iowa State University set up a network of pheromone traps to monitor WBC range expansion and to provide moth emergence data to enhance scouting efforts. Pheromone trap cooperators included local seed corn dealers, private corn and soybean agronomists and others interested in pest management issues.
Cooperators are needed in 2010 to monitor traps and record data for the Iowa State University Western Bean Cutworm Monitoring Network. Anyone interested in becoming part of the monitoring network this year should send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with their name, address, and email. The trapping program is explained in detail in the ICM article, Western bean cutworm: Pheromone trapping program. The 2009 trap captures were reported earlier this year in the article Summary of 2009 Western Bean Cutworm Trapping Program.

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) – State Senator Tim Kennedy unveiled a proposal to help recent graduates become homeowners. The legislation would give prospective homeowners who graduated from college or attended another form of post-secondary education in the past seven years access to a discounted mortgage rate based upon the State of New York Mortgage Agency's (SONYMA) Low-Interest Rate Program. Specifically, qualified applicants will receive an additional 1.5 percent discount on their interest rate below the standard Low-Interest Rate Program rate of five percent for ten years. "Buffalo has over 20,000 empty homes, and this legislation will help return those houses to the hands of responsible homeowners who will help drive the development of our communities," Kennedy said in a statement. Kennedy estimates that this interest rate can save a buyer purchasing a $70,000 home nearly $7,000 over a ten-year period, lowering their estimated monthly payment from $527 to $470 for the ten-year life of the discount. In addition to requiring that applicants have completed post-secondary coursework within the past seven years, the legislation also requires the applicant to make under $70,000 and for the purchased home to be located in an economically distressed census tract, defined by the Federal Government as having a poverty rate of at least 20 percent. The program will be accessible to anyone who has completed any post-secondary education including vocational or technical training, undergraduate studies or graduate school. As of the 2010 Census, Buffalo's housing stock had a vacancy rate of over 15 percent, with the 2012 American Community Survey reporting over 23,000 vacant housing units throughout the city. As economic growth continues to spread throughout the region and new jobs are created, Kennedy's legislation aims to encourage more of these new workers to buy homes in the city.

Not that being a mother-in-law is something I'll be doing anytime soon, since none of my children are old enough to be seriously thinking about walking down the aisle. […] [Read More]

Tale from a bygone era of Willenhall front room shop
Posted: January 21, 2014|
THE annual mayhem of Christmas shopping and the sales are over - so grab a cuppa and put your feet up - as we look at the story behind a Black Country shop from a bygone age.
The story begins in 1920, when young Edith Hodson, from a well-known Willenhall lock making family, decided to start her own business at home.
In those days, it was quite common for people to set up small, front room shops, especially if the only occupant of the front room was an aspidistra!
Young Edith and her sister, Flora, came from a family well used to working from home.
Their brother, Edgar, a skilled lock maker, had his own factory in the yard behind the family home at 54 New Road, Willenhall.
The Hodsons were well-liked, respected members of the local community, so Edith must have been quite confident about her new venture.
The girls were always doing their bit locally.
Edith had a fine singing voice and often performed in local concerts, while Flora involved herself in charity work, raising funds for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.
From the outset Edith felt the area lacked a shop selling everything that busy local families might require, like women and children's clothing, haberdashery items and men's undies.
It seems wives and mothers back then also bought their menfolk's smalls!
Spotting a gap in the market, Edith decided to go ahead with her venture.
And, in 1920, she transformed the family front room into a "General and Fancy Draper Shop".
From the start it was an Aladdin's cave, stocking everything busy housewives could possibly need – from essential sewing, crochet and knitting supplies and soft furnishings to beauty products and toiletries.
The Hodsons' front room shop would eventually serve Willenhall and Walsall folk for 50 years.
For the first seven years, Edith ran the shop by herself, then Flora joined her in 1927.
The sisters made a good team, but it was Edith who was the real driving force.
She was always happy to chat to customers and let them buy on credit, or pay for goods in instalments.
They had a savings club scheme, too, so women could put a bit by for special occasions like birthdays or Christmas.
The sisters took great care of their customers, letting them browse the wholesalers' catalogues to their hearts' content.
And, once the orders were placed, Edith made the weekly Thursday trip to Birmingham wholesale warehouses, such as Wilkinson and Riddell or Bell and Nicholson.
Customer service was definitely more leisurely and personal back then. But, as time went by, it wasn't enough to bring Edith and Flora much profit.
After the Great War society was in upheaval and times were changing.
Increasing numbers of women were now working outside the home and had little time or energy to make clothes for themselves and the family.
So the sisters began to lose their traditional clientele.
At the same time, women going out to work, also needed affordable work clothes.
So, for the first time, the large stores began to address this.
It was a combination of bad luck and bad timing that, just as Edith and Flora were starting their haberdashery and clothing business, large stores like Marks and Spencer began selling well-made skirts for under five shillings.
And, for ten shillings, you could buy a whole outfit!
Before long, Marks and Sparks and other similar outlets had cornered the market for well-produced and affordable clothing.
In comparison, the clothes Edith and Flora sold were expensive.
Even their cheapest "tub" – or wash day frocks – cost 4s 11d. Cost wise, the sisters just couldn't compete with M & S and the other big players.
As the years went by, Edith and Flora also struggled to keep up with the changing fashions. Local residents recalled noticing how dated the stock looked, appealing mainly to much older ladies.
On top of this, Edith suffered from a lot of illness and Flora had to take a more active role.
In 1955 Edith died, and Flora continued running the shop on her own until 1970.
As locals had long noticed, the Hodsons' shop and stock had remained virtually unchanged since its opening.
The window display grew more and more dated.
And Flora took to selling existing stock to a few, loyal customers, from the back door of the premises.
She left the shop itself totally unchanged.
After Flora's death in 1983, Walsall Museum staff were called in to sift through the shop's contents.
They discovered a fantastic treasure trove of women's and children's clothing from the 1920s to the mid 1950s.
It must have been the fashion history equivalent of opening Tutankhamun's tomb.
A cornucopia of everyday clothing had been preserved, items that aren't normally considered worth saving for posterity.
It was truly a rare find for Walsall Museum, and the unsold stock is now the renowned Hodson Shop Collection.
The Hodson's property, including the buildings housing the shop and lock works, went on to become the Locksmith's House Museum.
With a staggering 2,800 pieces, the Hodson Shop Collection is a resource of national importance.
As the sisters kept virtually everything, including all the business paperwork, it offers a fascinating snapshot of everyday working class life in the Black Country from the first half of the 20th century.
It's of vast significance to fashion students and social historians and a wonderful part of our Black Country heritage.
With so many pieces, it's impossible to display the collection in its entirety.
But, over the years, Walsall Museum has featured many of them in various exhibitions and displays.
As Edith and Flora kept so much of the everyday paperwork, there are bills, invoices, bank statements, period catalogues, advertising materials and manufacturers' leaflets.
In our modern world of the ever-shrinking High Street and internet shopping, the whole collection gives us a brilliant glimpse of a vanished world and its habits.
Highlights of the collection include a range of women's dresses from the 1920s to 50s.
There are also intricate pieces of jacquard knitwear from the 1920s and 30s, as well as lovely blouses in muslin, cotton and rayon.
Some have crochet or embroidered decoration, while others have fabulous beading and hand-painted decorations.
From the sublime to the more mundane, the collection also includes a wide range of undies, from woolly vests, navy knickers and slips to corsets and bras.
Hats, gloves, scarves, shoes and stockings also tell a story, many of the items still in their original packaging.
Some of the prettiest pieces are found in the children's wear category. There are long, white embroidered gowns and romper suits for babies. And, among the dresses for little girls are two, lovely velvet frocks from the 1920s.
But, what is most unusual about the collection, and of great value to social historians, is the wealth of everyday items that would normally have been thrown away when past their sell-by date. Such items, like women's work overalls, would never have been considered worthy of being saved, let alone put on display for future generations.
But, times have changed dramatically, and today we are far more interested in the minutiae of our forebears' daily lives. It's a similar story with the amazing range of haberdashery and everyday household items in the collection.
All of these, from hair nets, safety pins, shoe laces, cosmetics, household cleaning products to cushion covers, tell the story of everyday working class life in the Black Country.
Walsall Museum is in Lichfield St, Walsall ,WS1 1TR. Items from the Hodson Collection can be seen in the 'Red' exhibition, showcasing 150 years of red party dresses. It runs until January 18 so you'll need to be quick.
But, Hodson Shop items are often displayed in the Changing Face of Walsall Gallery on the Museum and Library's first floor. Open 10 – 5 Tuesdays to Fridays and 1 – 4 Saturdays.

Eleven applicants file for council vacancy
Eleven residents have applied to fill the Town Council vacancy created when former councilwoman Penny Rich took a seat on the Orange County Board of Commissioners.
The application period ended at 5 p.m. Monday.
The 11 applicants are Gary Kahn, Maria Palmer, Loren D. Hintz, Paul Neebe, Aaron Shah, Carl Schuler, Jennifer Marsh, Bjorn Pedersen, Amy Ryan, David Jackson and former councilwoman Sally Greene, who in 2011 did not seek re-election to the seat she first won in 2003.
"I think it's a fairly diverse group of people and many of them have extensive experience working on town boards and commissions," said Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt.
He said the council has a busy year ahead of it, so it's important to choose someone who has experience and knows town business.
"My hope is to find someone who can hit the ground running," Kleinschmidt said. "I think from this group, we can find one or two people who can meet that need."
The selection process calls for council to review applications and make nominations at its Jan. 14 business meeting.
Council could make an appointment Jan. 23 at a special meeting that would precede scheduled public hearings. If it does make an appointment at that meeting, the applicant chosen would be sworn in at the council's Jan. 28 meeting.
The council last filled a vacancy in 2009 when it chose Councilwoman Donna Bell from among 12 applicants to complete the term of Bill Strom, who resigned abruptly.
Bell was elected to the seat in 2011.

Thanks, Doc
Dear Editor:
Please allow me through our hometown newspaper to thank Dr. Kenneth Sharpe of Retina Consultants of Charleston/Ladson office for his excellent eye care of my husband Harold George Jr.
Harold and I both had not known anyone in our family or circle of friends who had suffered a detached retina, so it came as a shock to us when he bumped his head pretty hard last spring resulting in his eye retina becoming detached. From that day on our lives changed, and we both now have a keener sense of appreciation of sight, others with eye impairments, and of course our Great Physician Jesus himself, working through doctors like Kenneth Sharpe, who allow HIM to use their hands and knowledge to bring about our healing, in HIS perfect timing.
Harolds eye health is still a work in progress and other doctors have and will continue to see him through to full recovery, but in this part of the process of healing Dr. Sharpe deserves our thanks and deep appreciation for his hard work , dedication and big heart that comes from God.
Thank you, Dr. Sharpe , we will never forget your kindness, patience , compassion , and devotion to seeing Harold uplifted and made to feel like he was your favorite patient.
Sue George
Fan of Byars
Dear Editor:
Ive been proud of my Dorchester County Councilman Jay Byars throughout his one term on council. Hes brought a business minded approach to council. He looks at decisions as a return on investment, what is in the best interest of taxpayers, and how to streamline and consolidate government. Thats the kind of private sector experience we need on County Council.
As an Ashborough East resident, Im seeing firsthand Jays ability to get things done. His idea to prioritize Cooks Crossroads intersection has resulted in much needed congestion relief at the Highways 61 and 165 intersection. He also got funded the Highway 1654 widening to Ashley Ridge High School and an extension of the Sawmill Branch Trail right beside my neighborhood.
And as far as being responsive, Jay is also available by email and phone to talk about the issues even when its a struggle of an issue like Dorchester Road has been. Jay has been our advocate from the beginning and has kept an open line of communication despite contractor mistakes.
I know my family and my community is better served by Jay Byars being my county councilman and thats why I am supporting him for reelection on June 10.

The Interview breaks online movie sales records: A case for simultaneous releases December 29, 2014 at 7:16 am
It is exceedingly hard to find an angle that presents The Interview in a positive light — and yet, of course, Sony Pictures' marketing department has managed to do just that. Yesterday, four days after the film's release on YouTube, Google Play Movies, and Xbox Video, The Interview became Sony's '#1 online film of all time,' grossing $15 million from sales and rentals. In other news, however, it would appear, rather ironically, that Sony used a popular K-pop song without permission of artist.
The Open Bay: Now you can download and host your own copy of The Pirate Bay December 19, 2014 at 11:25 am
If you're still lamenting the loss of The Pirate Bay, which was shut down last week by Swedish police, you now have an intriguing new option: If you have some web hosting, a small amount of tech savvy, and you're located in a country where it's legal, you can now easily host your own Pirate Bay.
The Pirate Bay 'revived' by rival IsoHunt, while figures show no decline in piracy after shutdown December 15, 2014 at 11:43 am
A week ago, The Pirate Bay was raided and shut down. At this point, with no resurrection apparently forthcoming, it looks like it might be dead forever. This hasn't stopped fake sites from popping up — including, rather amusingly, a site called Old Pirate Bay that is being managed by IsoHunt, one of Pirate Bay's largest rivals. Ah, the futility of shutting down file sharing websites.
Sony fights back against hackers, stolen file sharers – by firing a DDoS back at them December 11, 2014 at 8:49 am
When the hackee becomes the hacker… In a somewhat amusing twist to the ongoing Sony Pictures hack and massive breach of sensitive files and unreleased films, the company is now fighting back. According to two unnamed sources, Sony is now using 'hundreds of computers' to perform a DDoS on websites where you can download the leaked data. Better yet, Sony is apparently using Amazon's cloud servers (AWS) to perform the DDoS. While I'm all for proactive security measures, Sony might be taking it a little bit too far here.
The Pirate Bay raided, shut down by Swedish police – and it may never return December 10, 2014 at 6:29 am
The Pirate Bay has been raided by Swedish police and shut down — possibly forever, according to its co-founder Peter Sunde. According to some initial reports coming out of the Sweden, Stockholm police seized computers and equipment belonging to The Pirate Bay, and have detained 'at least one man connected to the site.'
Google finally decides to demote 'notorious' piracy sites in search results October 20, 2014 at 2:40 pm
This week, Google is rolling out changes to its search engine that will 'visibly affect' the rankings of 'notorious' sites that enable the downloading or streaming of pirated music, movies, and TV shows. In the place of these unofficial or illegal links — which often rank above legal, commercial sites — Google will now show direct links to Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and other 'official' sites.

Why Game of Thrones is the most pirated TV show in the world April 14, 2014 at 12:00 pm
While hard and fast figures are tough to come by, it appears that the Game of Thrones season four premiere will become the most pirated TV episode of all time, racking up around one million downloads within 12 hours of the US airing, and a few million more in the days following. People pirate TV shows, movies, games, and music for a variety of reasons, but it mostly boils down to just two core reasons: Money, and ease of use. With these two factors in mind, let's take a look at why people pirate Game of Thrones.
Flappy Bird's removal from the app store: A case for piracy February 11, 2014 at 6:43 am
Flappy Bird. Over the last few weeks, this almost insultingly simple Helicopter clone with Mario-like graphics has experienced one of the craziest roller coaster rides in the history of gaming. When the game peaked at the start of February, it was being downloaded millions of times per day, and accruing the developer, Dong Nguyen, hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising revenue. Yesterday, though, saying it had ruined his life, Nguyen removed Flappy Bird from the iOS and Android app stores. Does that make it OK to pirate the game, or not?
The Pirate Bay moves to the cloud to evade the police October 17, 2012 at 10:30 am

Are Gluten-Free Grains on Your Plate?
Prepared by Shelly Asplin, MA, RD, LMNT
Planning for good nutrition and health requires analyzing one's diet to make sure that it is nutritionally balanced. Grains are a common topic for those who require the gluten-free diet. Often, however, the subject is how to avoid grains that contain gluten. Unfortunately, the importance of including gluten-free whole grains is frequently left unaddressed. This dialogue will discuss: the definition of whole grain; benefits of whole grains; potential nutrient consequences of a gluten-free diet; how many grains per day are recommended; a recent survey on alternative grain consumption among individuals with celiac disease; a guide for cooking gluten-free whole grains and more.
Whole Grains Defined
As defined by the Whole Grains Council, "Whole grains or foods made from them contain all the essential parts and naturally-occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed. If the grain has been processed (e.g., cracked, crushed, rolled, extruded, and/or cooked), the food product should deliver approximately the same rich balance of nutrients that are found in the original grain seed."i Therefore whole grains contain 100% of the original kernel - the bran, germ and endosperm.
Whole Grain Benefits
The benefits of consuming whole grains have been documented for years. At a 2010 symposium, researchers reviewed current evidence regarding the health benefits associated with whole grains and its role in disease risk reduction.ii The researchers concluded that there was substantial evidence to support that adequate whole grain consumption is associated with lower risk of chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The researchers also reviewed evidence that supported the use of whole grains to aid in weight management and gastrointestinal health.
Potential Nutritional Consequences of a Gluten-free Diet
The gluten-free diet may be a fashionable trend for some but for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity it's a medical necessity. Potential consequences of the diet include increased fat intake due to decreased intake of gluten-free grains and an increased consumption of foods high in fat that are frequently substituted for grain foods. Low calcium and phosphorous intake may also result due to lactose intolerance. Other nutritional consequences secondary to decreased grain consumption include a decreased intake of fiber, iron, folate, niacin, B-12 (due to the lack of fortification of most gluten-free breakfast cereals), and zinc.iii
Survey on Celiacs Consumption of Alterative Grains
A survey conducted at an annual celiac conference in Columbus, Ohio, in 2010, provided a snap-shot of alternative grain consumption among 174 conference attendees.IV The survey analysis showed that 80% of the sampled population consumed less than half the amount of grain servings recommended by the U.S. Department of Health's Dietary Guidelines. A mere 1% of the sample population consumed the recommended amount of 6 servings per day. Though this study was not a random sample it does allow one to reflect on one's own personal grain consumption and consider whether increasing grains in their diet would be beneficial.
Tips to Identifying Whole Grains
The Whole Grains Council has developed a program to help make identifying whole grains easier for the consumer.v Manufacturers voluntarily using the Basic Stamp or the 100% Stamp offer a quick way to communicate what amount of whole grain is present in their product. The Whole Grains Council communicates it best by the visuals and description below.
If a product bears the 100% Stamp, then all its grain ingredients are whole grains. There is a minimum requirement of 16 grams (16g) – a full serving – of whole grain per labeled serving, for products using the 100% Stamp.
If a product bears the Basic Stamp, it contains at least 8 grams (8g) – a half serving – of whole grain, but may also contain some refined grain. Even if a product contains large amounts of whole grain (23g, 37g, 41g, etc.), it will use the Basic Stamp if it also contains extra bran, germ, or refined flour.
Each Stamp also displays a number, telling how many grams of whole grain ingredients are in a serving of the product.
Grain Recommendations - How Many Grain Foods are Needed Daily?
The amount of grains needed daily depends on one's age, sex, and level of physical activity. The table below, provided by the USDA, offers a guide to daily amounts of recommended grains and suggests that at least half of all grains eaten should be whole grains.
Recommended Daily Grain Consumption Table
*These amounts are appropriate for individuals who get less than 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity, beyond normal daily activities. Those who are more physically active may be able to consume more while staying within calorie needs.vii
What Counts as an "One Ounce Equivalent?"
Journaling one's food intake is a helpful way to determine how many processed and whole grains one consumes. In order to compare actual intake to the chart, an understanding of what is considered a "1 ounce (oz) equivalent" is important.
In general, 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or ½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal can be considered a 1 ounce equivalent from the grains group.
The chart below, also from the USDA, lists specific amounts that count as 1 ounce equivalent of grains towards one's daily recommended intake.viii In some cases the number of ounce-equivalents for common portions are also shown.

Reprinted with permission from Mary Collard MS, RD, presented at the 34th Annual CSA Conference 2011
*Talk to your doctor before consuming pure, uncontaminated, gluten-free oats. See "Scoop on Oats" at www.csaceliacs.org.
Cooking and storing guide
Review package instructions to see if pre-rinsing of grain is recommended prior to cooking.
Bring water or broth to a boil over heat in heavy sauce pan; add grains, return to boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook according to chart. Remove from heat; allow grain to sit as recommended. Cooking times may vary by altitude and manufacturer. If liquid has evaporated before grain is fully cooked, add additional liquid as needed to avoid scorching. If grain is fully cooked and excess liquid remains, drain thoroughly in strainer.
Season to taste with salt, pepper or other herbs and spices.
Cooked grains may be stored in the refrigerator and used within 3-4 days. Freeze for longer storage. Uncooked grains that will not be used within a few months should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Experiment with cooking time and amount of liquid to determine one's preferred consistency of cooked grain.

A girl kills herself because she finds out the boy she liked on MySpace.com ("Myspace") was actually a couple of girls, allegedly assisted by their parents, making fun of her. [1] Another teenager is lured to a girl's home and beaten repeatedly in retaliation for comments made on MySpace.com, while the beating is filmed for posting on MySpace. [2]. These events and others have highlighted the lack of adequate criminal laws about online harassment and online bullying – sometimes called cyberstalking or cyberbullying.This article will examine the recent cases of cyberbullying, address examples of current laws that deal with cyberbullying and cyberstalking, and, finally, explain what needs to be changed about current laws to address the developing criminal area of cyberbullying.

Lawyers face many challenges in the litigation process. Many of these challenges present themselves during the discovery process, which can be incredibly expensive. [1] With the ubiquitous nature of current technology, especially in the business world, the discovery rules have had to adapt. New rules, the electronic discovery ("e-discovery") rules, in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure account for discovery of electronic documents. [2] Attorneys have had to adjust to these new rules by learning a novel language, and familiarizing themselves with how to obtain such electronic information from their clients and what kinds of information to ask for from opposing counsel. [3] One way attorneys can adapt to these new rules and attempt to discover all relevant documents at a lower, efficient cost is to invest in e-discovery software. Many different vendors, such as Attenex, have software specifically designed for attorneys and their discovery needs. [4] Different types of software can search through computers, databases or hand-held devices for a variety of documents, pictures, data and other files that are relevant to the lawsuit. This article provides a guide for lawyers searching for ways to make e-discovery easier by choosing an e-discovery software vendor. The first step when evaluating vendors is to find one that has the necessary combination of legal and technical knowledge. [More]
Wikileaks.org, a website dedicated to compiling leaked documents from governments and corporations, has sought to hold large-scale entities more accountable for their actions through greater transparency of information. [1] However, by publishing sensitive information it believes to be in the public interest, coupled with the fact that the site has a completely anonymous user base, the site has aroused the ire of international governments and businesses alike. [2] A recent lawsuit by a Swiss bank in which the bank sought (and briefly received) a permanent injunction to shut down Wikileaks highlights how much controversy the site has generated in its relatively short life span. [3] While some critics try to paint Wikileaks as a site that engenders illegal activity and as a site that is a threat to privacy, neither claim can be properly substantiated. [4] Though Wikileaks is controversial, most forms of speech displayed on the site are protected by the First Amendment. [5] [More]
Picture yourself in the shoes of Maria Udy, a marketing executive working for a travel management firm in Maryland. [1] Udy, a British citizen traveling from Washington D.C. to London, was pulled aside by a federal agent because he had "a security concern" with her. [2] She was presented with a frustrating choice: hand over her laptop for the agent to search or miss her flight. [3] In a similar incident a tech engineer, a U.S. citizen who chose to remain anonymous for fear of calling attention to himself, was pulled aside by a federal agent who demanded that he log into his computer so that the agent could search it. [4] The engineer protested, as the computer belonged to his corporation, but he logged in and watched in dismay as the federal agent copied down each of the websites he had visited. [5] Sadly, these incidents are far from isolated. [6]Technological advances have provided international business travelers with innumerable benefits, but recent border search jurisprudence threatens to nullify the conveniences of this medium by subjecting such travelers to random, invasive searches of their electronics. [7] Indeed, in this age where a business traveler's laptop can be as indispensable as his or her wallet (and capable of carrying so much more), privacy protections have become all the more essential. Furthermore, due to conflicting precedents in two recent, landmark cases, the future of privacy protections in the digital age is entirely uncertain. [8] This article will not only examine the current state of the law of border searches with regard to technology, but it will also analyze the merits of arguments made in salient, recent cases that will shape the future of the law in the field.

Instant Messages (IMs) have become an increasingly popular method of communication, both in the personal and business world. [1] They have the benefit of being an efficient, rapid and oftentimes free means of communication. [2] IMs are often candid and free-form, and when users close their IM dialogue box when the conversation ends, the chat session generally disappears and is not recorded. [3] However, with the advent of the e-discovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), many electronically stored documents have become subject to discovery in litigation. [4] While Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and e-mails are accepted as discoverable documents for litigation purposes, it is unclear whether IMs can and should be requested during the discovery process. [5] This article will explore issues related to the discoverability of instant messages and will ultimately suggest that businesses employ techniques to closely monitor employee use of instant messages to prevent a "smoking gun" IM from costing employers millions of dollars in court. [More]
Virtual reality is fast becoming a mainstay in today's modern culture of computer savvy citizens all over the world. [1] It is a concept of real time and space existing within a construct comprised entirely of a dynamic, streaming assembly of 1's and 0's of binary programming language, translated into an individual's online world. As the complexity and realism of these interactive virtual playgrounds increase, users have adapted a plethora of entrepreneurial opportunities that test the legal boundaries of laws throughout the world, including those of the United States.

By Marine Corps Pfc. Max S. PenningtonAmerican Forces Press Service
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif.,, Oct. 21, 2011 Triathletes can be characterized as having the strength to do a certain task, having the endurance to go the distance, and having the wisdom to set a pace during a very long race.
Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Bryan K. Cox, the maintenance control chief with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 361 here and a Louisville, Ky., native, came to realize his love for triathlons at the age of 30. Six years later he is still running strong.
Cox was an instructor at the Naval Aircrew Candidate School in Pensacola, Fla., when he first began testing his mind and body.
"I was not in the best shape, so I figured that if I'm going to be the first crew chief these guys see, I need to be in shape, so, I started running," Cox said.
Marines who worked at the aircrew school with Cox suggested that he sign up for a triathlon because of his abilities to run, swim and bike.
"I signed up and did my first one and liked it so much that I signed up for one twice the distance the next week," Cox said.
Cox has competed in a number of marathons and races, but focuses on triathlons.
"The biggest [triathlon] I've done is the Ironman Louisville," he said. "It's a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run. It took me 11 hours and 20 minutes. I finished 376th out of 2,500."
The course consisted of scenic routes and took the competitors across flat land, over hills and through the Ohio River.
"Crossing that finish line and hearing them say I'm an iron man was really cool," Cox said. "You're competing against yourself. Although you may not win or beat the guy next to you, if you did better than the race before, that's a win."
Cox found time to run while on a deployment in Afghanistan. The diverse climate made it a struggle, but he pushed himself to run every day.
"The first time I ran over there I was barely able to run three miles because of the heat and the elevation," he said.
Despite the climate, Cox kept running every day in Afghanistan, and even motivated a friend to accompany him.
"I knew he was a great runner. I wanted to better myself, so when he would go out and run I would tag along," said Marine Corps Capt. Wade L. Swanson, a maintenance control officer with HMH-361 and a Washington D.C., native.
"We were averaging anywhere from seven to 11 miles a day," Cox said.
Cox ran 1,107 miles during his seven-month deployment in Afghanistan. He set a personal record for his physical fitness test and he also helped Swanson develop a love for running.
"I completed my first marathon following the deployment," Swanson said. "I would bet at least $1,000 that I would have never run a marathon prior to training with Gunny Cox in Afghanistan."
Swanson said he plans to continue his training routine with Cox, and he wants to compete in more marathons.
"Not only has it increased my PFT score, but because I've been training with Gunny Cox I have really fallen in love with long distance running," Swanson said.
"As I'm getting older, I feel like I have something to prove," Cox said. "I want to show the younger [Marines] that if I'm out here doing this, then they can too."

Arizona Diamondbacks
Josh Collmenter provides relief and versatility in Arizona Diamondbacks bullpen
Specialization is commonplace in Major League Baseball these days, no more so than in a team's bullpen.
There's the left-handed specialist, the long man, the setup man and the closer.
And then there's Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Josh Collmenter.
In a season that has seen the D-backs lead the league in games played in 12 or more innings (10) and extra-inning wins (13), the 27-year-old has specialized in an "all of the above" capacity.
Collmenter, who won 10 games as a rookie starter back in 2011, has provided Arizona with a rare combination of relief and flexibility in 2013, to the point he's pitched in every imaginable setting, from the 2nd through 16th innings.
"It's one of those things having a starting background, I can throw multiple innings," Collmenter told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Tuesday. "And the way this season has gone with as many extra-inning games as we've played, once we've used a couple guys in the bullpen it seems they turn it over to me."
What began as somewhat of anomaly -- Collmenter won his first four decisions in extra-inning games -- has become anything but as the season's progressed.
When Kirk Gibson has needed outs in a late-game situation or wanted to give other relievers some much-needed rest, it's been Collmenter who gets the call.
"The other day in that marathon game in Pittsburgh, I came into the game with two outs [in the 11th inning]," said Collmenter, who is 4-2 with a 2.90 ERA in 2013. "Gibby gave me the ball and said, 'We have two outs and nobody on. This is your kind of game, so here we go.' It's starting to become not so much a joke anymore but a given I guess."
His effectiveness as the pressure mounts is no laughing matter, nor is the reason behind it: his unconventional delivery.
"There's a lot of deception to what I have going on [with the over-the-top motion], especially if they've seen three or four pitchers who have already thrown 'normal,'" said Collmenter. "One of the big things about pitching in extra innings, especially on the road, is that there are guys trying to win the game hero-style and go out with a walk-off home run.
"You can really use that to your advantage, because it seems like the solid at-bats where you're trying to get on base or trying to hit the ball up the middle goes out the window."
Credit overanxious batters or unorthodox mechanics for his success, point is Collmenter has excelled in his undefined role -- one that 123 games in, he's also started to appreciate.
"I've grown to like it a lot, mainly because I see the value you of it," said Collmenter. "I was in the bullpen when I first got called up but not long enough to realize how vital that role is over the course of a season.
"In a season like we've had this year with playing 17 or 18 extra-inning games now, times where the starter might get hit with a comebacker or a variety of other things, for me to be able to go out there and save the bullpen by throwing throw three, four, five innings at a time isn't just a mop-up guy. That's not the role. It's very valuable."
Heading into Tuesday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds, Collmenter leads all National League relievers in innings pitched (71.1) -- 5.2 innings more than the next closest pitcher.

Mozilla chief technology executive Brendan Eich was announced on Tuesday as the new CEO of open source technology firm Mozilla—producer of the popular Firefox internet browser and catalog of products, Firefox Marketplace.
The company skipped corporate expertise to pick an expert coder who co-founded the company and invented JavaScript. But his financial donation towards opposition of marriage equality has caused an uproar among LGBT developers and fans of Mozilla products.
In 2008, Eich donated $1,000 towards the voter approval of Proposition 8—a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in California. He admitted the action in an Apr. 5, 2012 blog. Eich argued that the donation was in keeping with a spirit of "diversity," since not all Mozilla workers supported marriage equality. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the ballot initiative was unconstitutional.
As soon as Eich's appointment was announced several developers issued boycotts of the company.
Wikipedia Mobile creator and rarebit CEO Hampton Catlin said in his blog that he's pulling the plug on his relationship with Mozilla.
"We were shocked to read that Brendan Eich has been appointed Mozilla CEO," said Catlin. "As a gay couple who were unable to get married in California until recently, [my husband and I] morally cannot support a Foundation that would not only leave someone with hateful views in power, but will give them a promotion and put them in charge of the entire organization."
Catlin said that it is unconscionable to keep rarebit in Mozilla's circle.
"By the very bones in our body, we cannot dare use our creativity, experience, knowledge, and passion to further the career of a man who has to this day not apologized for his support. I can't spend hours and days and years polishing, building, and upgrading applications that make him richer than he is," said Catlin.
It has already been argued that Mozilla has many LGBT advocates within its ranks and that Eich is just one out of many. Catlin responded.
"I certainly recognize that there are great people at Mozilla. And that lots of people there want the org to be open and supportive. However, the board could have chosen any of those other, awesome people at Mozilla to be CEO. Out of all the possible candidates they could have chosen, they chose Brendan Eich. CEO's are extremely important to an organization. Their ideas, beliefs, philosophies, and personalities drive organizations. And, when it's an organization that I'm personally investing in, it's even more important."
In a public relations tailspin because of Eich's donation, Mozilla responded with a Statement on Diversity.
"Mozilla has always been deeply committed to honoring diversity in sexual orientation and beliefs within our staff and community, across all the project's activities," said Mozilla. "One concrete example of this is in our health benefit policies. Mozilla provides the same level of benefits and advantages to domestic partners as we do to married couples across the United States, even in states where it is not mandated. For those who choose life insurance, voluntary spouse coverage extends to domestic partners, including same-sex couples."
Mozilla is stressing diversity of thought, among other diversities, in its company culture.
"With thousands of people spanning many countries and cultures, diversity is core to who we are, and we're united in our mission to keep the Web open and accessible for everyone."

NEW YORK (AP) — There may be another billionaire interested in New York City's top job.
Jack Dorsey, co-founder of the popular social media service Twitter and the mobile payments startup Square, reportedly says he wants to be mayor of New York one day.
In an interview aired Sunday on "60 Minutes," CBS' Lara Logan said Dorsey is serious about moving to the Big Apple someday and running for mayor.
Dorsey tells Logan that what he loves about New York is the electricity he feels when he's in the city.
In Forbes latest ranking of the 400 wealthiest Americans, a list which requires $1.2 billion in net worth for entry, newcomer Dorsey was listed at No. 392. Current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is listed at No. 10 with an estimated net worth of $25 billion.
