NEW YORK — Giants RHP Matt Cain needs surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow, which likely will end his season.
Friday, Cain played catch and is waiting to see how his arm responds before deciding when to have surgery. Manager Bruce Bochy, though, said the team let him throw just to "check off that box."
Cain, 2-7 with a 4.18 ERA, has been out since July 9.
"I've had (the chips) for 10 years," he said. "They've always been there. Now they're mad and letting me know about it."
More Giants: 2B Dan Uggla was designated for assignment a week after being called up. Uggla, who signed a minor-league deal July 21 after being released by the Braves, went 0-for-11 with six strikeouts and three errors.
Replay controversy: MLB said it got a replay call right in ruling Marlins C Jeff Mathis blocked the plate. In the eighth Thursday, the Reds' Zack Cozart tried to score on a flyout. The throw easily beat him. He didn't slide and was tagged for the apparent third out. But officials ruled Mathis safe. That tied it, and the ensuing single helped the Reds win 3-1. Friday, MLB said under the rule put in place before this season, Mathis "hindered his path to the plate without possession of the ball."
Brewers: 2B Scooter Gennett was scratched with a left finger injury. Details weren't disclosed.
Cardinals: RHP John Lackey, acquired from Boston on Thursday, will make his first start Tuesday against his ex-team, the Cardinals said.
Marline: RHP Henderson Alvarez, 8-5 with a 2.48 ERA, went on the DL with right shoulder inflammation.
Mets: RHP Matt Harvey threw off a mound for the first time since October's Tommy John surgery. He hopes to return by the start of 2015.
Orioles: RH reliever Ryan Webb, a Clearwater Central Catholic grad, was designated for assignment. He is 3-2 with a 3.80 ERA in 42 games.
Rockies: RF Carlos Gonzalez left in the fifth when he came up limping after making a sliding catch. His status was unknown.
Twins: 1B Joe Mauer (out since July 1 with a strained oblique) and RHP Ricky Nolasco (July 6, sore right elbow) are set to begin rehab stints next week with hopes of returning the following week.
White Sox: Pitching coach Don Cooper returned after missing 11 games with vertigo.

STRAY FROM THE PATH Perform New Song Live
Stray From the Path have been jamming out to a new song live lately. Fan filmed footage of their show in Indianapolis, IN earlier this month captured the band performing the new track entitled "Landmines". It is no secret that these guys are fans of Rage Against the Machine and this new track shows the bleeding of Rage-esque sounds into their music. "Landmines" is a very groove heavy, funk laden track featuring rapid fire vocal delivery in the vein of Rage's Zach de la Rocha. The band were in studio recently tracking a new single but no word yet if "Landmines" was in fact that single. Check out the performance below.

Fear Is Your Only God: STRAY FROM THE PATH Post RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Cover
You all know how big a fan I am of cover songs, whether they are done well or not. I fucking love covers. It's one of my favorite things in music, so when I hear about a band covering a track that I love, I get pretty pumped. This is the case for Stray From The Path's newly released cover of Rage Against The Machine's "Vietnow." I love the original version of this track and pretty much everything Rage ever did and I think Stray From The Path really do this track justice. Check out the cover below and according to YouTube, the band will be posting another cover next week. Should be interesting.
Here is your playlist for tonight you lovely little critters.
-Lane Oliver
Here's a new little series I am trying out. Ross has his morning series that features a specific band for you guys to jam out to. So, I figured we should have a night version of that. But instead of a specific band, I will put my music library on shuffle and pick the first ten songs. Genre does not matter. So, here is your playlist for tonight.

leave it to a mini-brush-with-fame to get me to post something on this here blog. so here's the deal: I love Cory Booker. ever since Street Fight was up for an oscar years ago I've been a huge fan and (of course) follow him on twitter.
on thanksgiving I got into a passionate conversation with Jacquie's mom about how we both think he's the absolute best. that discussion inspired me to rewatch said documentary about his 2002 mayoral election. then, this:
first off, it was a 2005 film which is why I said nine years so don't judge my arithmetic and second, I'm convinced it's actually him who replied! this assumption is due to (a) him being a big time tweeter and (b) the random timestamp. I'm going to say this is equally as awesome as that time TJ Lavin tweeted Paul.
anywho, yay America. and you should really follow him. he's legit.
talk soon, xoxo.

SAISD board can't be trusted with proposal
Testing the foundations
On March 3, four members of the San Angelo Independent School District Board proved that the funds generated by the proposed bond cannot be trusted in their hands. Terry Bader, Daniel Baker, Gerard Gallegos and Art Hernandez voted to shamelessly waste $700,000 of bond revenues by voting to purchase inappropriate land on which to build an elementary school. It is one of the most appalling examples of fiscal irresponsibility by local elected officials in our community. By selecting the commercial site over land suitable and owned by the district, four members placed in jeopardy the credibility of the entire bond.
At issue was the site for a new school — at the Crockett site, the Travis site or at an alternate site in a commercial zone.
First, they refused to even discuss, compare or consider the Travis site. Then they pushed for a site that in no way can be described as residential or a safe environment for K-5 children and is devoid of any traditional traits normally associated with neighborhood schools.
The site is excessively large at 25 acres, with the associated price to purchase and the long-term cost of maintaining large parcels. The site presents no safe opportunity for children to walk or bike to school, thus requiring SAISD to offer bus transportation at a level not previously imagined. The site ranked last in an analysis by the project architect. Besides four board members supporting the commercial site, only two men offered remarks in favor of that site. Both expressed the commercial site was appropriate because minority schools had been closed and selecting that site somehow was "doing the right thing."
At a December 2006 board meeting, one of these men stated it was time to bus non-Hispanic kids to a school in his neighborhood. Throw in a little fluff about concrete pier depths, raise the threat of construction workers running down kids, and that's it. No, that's not it. Add in lack of consideration of any professional advice or analysis done in the past three years.
Do four board members accept the concept of leaving a trail of abandoned schools for a future board to deal with? Maybe these four board members can guarantee that ASU is "circling over the Crockett site" with a basket of money as Bader suggested. Never mind that ASU recently gave land to the Johnson Street Church of Christ for a parking lot to enhance its $3 million addition. Never mind that Travis Elementary was on the market for almost three years with the asking price going down from around $400,000 to just less than $200,000, while the district continued to pay for ongoing maintenance.
Equally astounding, after refusing to discuss the Travis site and faulting the Crockett site as unsafe for kids to attend school there while a new facility was being built, the four board members then voted to build a new Bradford/Holiman at Bradford while kids continued to attend Bradford. It appears their concern for Crockett kids is far greater than their concern for Bradford kids. Has it somehow escaped board attention that the plan calls for rebuilding/renovating at existing sites (i.e. Reagan, San Jacinto and Lake View)? Which justification will the board use when it is time to replace those schools?
Four board members exhibited a disturbing lack of understanding of their plan. They failed to recognize that the plan recommended placing a new elementary school in the southeast to serve the needs of some former Rio Vista and Glenmore students and expansion of family housing at Goodfellow. Yet Gallegos is the district representative for that area and voted to place the Phase Two solutions for that area in jeopardy.
The most amazing fact of the four Board members' vote was the site was not recommended by SAISD administration, the project architect, the consulting firms or the task force.
Board members let us down
I was, until March 12, a member of the facilities task force. I attended every task force meeting, board meeting or workshop concerning the plan and bond. The district asked me to form a political action committee to assist in passing the bond. I have served in the public sector for more than 30 years, and my experience and service on the task force have given me significant insight about the plan.
At the last task force meeting, I asked the task force to disagree with the board's desire to build a new high school, to expand enrollment at Lake View and to build only two elementary schools given the high cost of a new Central. I proposed that the best use of bond funds was consolidating and building new elementary schools.
I declined to form the PAC. It is not in the best interest of the taxpayers to entrust $130 million to four individuals who, frankly, blew it on the first opportunity to show they could place the best interest of the district before their personal agendas.
I recognize that facilities improvements are critical because my child, and most likely your child, attends a 1950s or older school. But I do not believe we can place millions of dollars in the hands of those who have little understanding of district facilities needs and little regard for fiscal responsibility, and who have demonstrated a willingness to place their interests above the district's.
They can spin their vote any way they choose, but the inescapable truth is they have simply let us down, laid the foundation to undermine the creditability of the bond and turned a positive process into an exercise in disappointment.
Propositions not voter-friendly
The board did attempt to appear voter-friendly by agreeing to present the bond in two propositions. Proposition One allows voters to fund a mega-expensive high school for 3,000 students grades nine through 12 and close the Central Freshman Campus.
Proposition One joins at the hip the new Central with renovations at Lake View High School to allow increased enrollment. This action is being called "reducing the dependency on portable buildings," not increasing enrollment at Lake View.
Proposition Two allows the board to build two elementary schools, presumably the "we don't care if your kids are safe during construction" Bradford/Holliman school and the "we don't care if we waste $700,000 of your tax dollars, but your kids will be safe during construction" commercial-area school.
The bond language does not absolutely require the board to spend bond revenues as you are being told. They left significant wiggle room by wording the bond to allow the "construction, renovation, acquisition and equipment of school buildings in the District, including …" Then they add "a new Central," "renovations, additions and improvements to Lake View," and "two new elementary schools." It does not state that $106 million or $24 million can only be spent on the four schools being touted by the "Just the Facts campaign."If the board really wanted to be voter-friendly, it should have presented a specific four- proposition bond. But doing so would have given voters too much power. It would have exposed the bond to being judged on the merits of each project. It would have permitted you to say what you wanted and at what price. It would have allowed you to correct the actions of the board members who tossed $700,000 down the drain. It would have sent a message that the board wanted voter trust, confidence and support.
The two propositions simply pit one part of the district against another, with the implied threat that if we don't get what we want, you don't get what you want.
Campaign, actions should be questioned
The district's information campaign is being managed by the firm designing the new Central. "Just the Facts" will be touted by the district because that's all the law will allow. Will you be told all the facts or just enough to support the board's "new" version of the plan?
The board is considering creating an upper-management position to track the construction projects. The position is for a qualified construction manager and is in addition to oversight provided by the paid general contractor and architects.
Do we need another layer of management? Is managing projects of this scope beyond the expertise of staff and board? Recently, the district moved the "removed for undisclosed reasons" principal of Lake View ($90,000) to administration to assist the superintendent ($150,000) on "bond issues." You should ask what is going on with this action.
The board assumed that the task force would constitute the PAC to advocate for the bond. Who knows the plan better and how to integrate the components? What group gave up, over three years, their time to develop a document that did not address special interest or political pressure? What parents, teachers, administrators and taxpayers from every walk of life and ethnic background did not receive a penny of the estimated $300,000 spent to develop the plan?
You should ask why so few or none of the task force has signed on to do advocacy work for the board.
Theory's sound; execution isn't
You might see a drawing of the new Central, but you will not be told that it will have a complex that will create significant duplication of existing facilities (i.e. practice fields, locker/training rooms, a JV football field with stadium seating, an eight-lane track facility with stadium seating, swimming pool with seating for 500, gymnastics building, band and orchestra halls).
The district owns suitable land (the board calls it the Deer Lease) for a new Central in the Southwest. You will not be told it would cost about the same to provide services to the site as it will cost to purchase the proposed site and only partially improve road access on Cox Lane and Foster Road. Will you be told that this property was never discussed in public under any form of "due diligence" by the board?
The study leading up to this bond was based on two facts. First, enrollment has declined significantly. Second, the board determined to cut cost by closing schools and firing personnel (i.e. Blackshear, Rio Vista, Travis, Holiman, McGill and Santa Rita). The big question has never been that facilities need improvement. The big question is what type of schools we need and how much are we willing to pay for them.
The big follow-up question is, do you want your schools improved by plan, with fiscal responsibility and by those you can trust? Or do you object to the board ad-libbing and improvising? Lumping projects together to force a "this for that" outcome is an insult. I want us to have an opportunity to accept or reject the plan by project. The Board voted to deny us that opportunity.
Send the proposal back to the board. Maybe by November the board will also address the issue of a maintenance plan to assure voters that the district can afford to properly take care of not just new facilities, but all the old, rundown schools it operates. Huge issue, yet there has been no board dialogue to indicate if funds for this effort exist.
The components of the plan are not necessarily bad ideas. They were developed with the concept of doing the best for the entire district. You should know the components before you approve the bond. A "No" vote will exact a cost. It might be increased construction cost, using land currently in the district's inventory or losing near-term eligibility for unapproved state funding. But the cost to vote "No" is not as high as validating waste and rewarding bad judgment.
My decision to vote "No" is based on concerns as a taxpayer and participation on the task force. "No" is the only choice for meaningful and cost-effective improvements. The Board must listen to their staff, their architects, their paid consultants, whatever is left of the task force and voters. But you have to go vote.

Happy Easter! Greater Twin Falls Area Easter Egg Hunts
It's Easter Weekend in the Magic Valley and there are a host of Easter Egg Hunts this weekend for the little ones. Check out our list and happy hunting!
It's Easter Weekend in the Magic Valley and there are a host of Easter Egg Hunts this weekend for the little ones. Check out our list and happy hunting!
It's a war on Easter. According to ABC 4 - Seattle the city of Edmonds, Washington has changed the name of their official Easter Egg Hunt to just "Egg Hunt." Quote, "We want to welcome all citizens to our events, regardless of faith."
Every year we buy a mass amount of chocolate malt balls and jelly beans to fill plastic eggs for Easter. This year my husband suggested putting money in all of the eggs so that the kids wouldn't have as much candy after Easter.
Easter features some of the tastiest treats of all times like Cadbury Creme Eggs and Heavenly Hash. (But not Mini Eggs. Whoever invented those chalky chocolate tablets clearly didn't get Easter candy as a kid and is trying to punish the rest of us.)
Marshmallow Peeps may also be a traditional Easter candy, but they are still good on every other day on the calendar.
It's the final day of national Be Kind To Spiders Week, it's Easter weekend, and a 6 ton Idaho Potato rolled in to Twin Falls this. Here's what Terry was talking about last week.
You already know that the Easter-seasonal Cadbury Creme Egg is addictive, mouth-watering, one-of-a-kind and coveted the world over. But did you also know just how versatile an ingredient the Creme Egg can be when put to use in some of the most outlandish, Willy-Wonka-on-acid dessert delicacies?
It's Easter! That means it's time for brightly colored Easter Eggs hid all over the house, which you may or may not ever find (until they start to smell). Instead of using real eggs this year, why not tech up your Easter a bit by creating your own LED Glowing Easter Eggs! The project is really simple, and once completed the glowing eggs look pretty decent. My son Jack, who is three, helped me build six of the little glowy eggs, and had a good time.
Here's the step by step tutorial to make your own LED Easter Eggs!
SELF Magazine has a list of easy ways to keep yourself from pigging out on Easter candy this weekend. Here are the top three.
1.) Only Eat Candy You LOVE. Reward yourself with your favorites, and skip the filler. So if you just KIND OF like jelly beans, don't eat any. They're empty calories, and there's not much payoff.
Easter is this Sunday, and it's time again to go hop, hop, hopping down the bunny trail. There are a lot of fantastic Easter Egg Hunts going on across the Magic Valley. Here's where to go egg hunting in the greater Twin Falls area.
The Easter Bunny is once again hippity-hopping his way toward our brightly-colored baskets. And while we may never be able to find the logic in a rabbit that lays eggs, (?!?!) we CAN say with certainty that the adorable cotton tails in these videos are sweeter than a Cadbury Creme Egg…and far less likely to melt in your purse.
Don't get me wrong I think Easter is an important Holiday, and everyone in our community seems to be very involved in Easter activities. But I think we go over board with gifts on Holidays like Valentines Day and Easter. My kids were truly a little disappointing this Valentines Day because all they received was chocolate when all of their friends received some sort of video game or toy.
An annual Easter egg hunt in Colorado Springs has been canceled this year because of misbehavior — by parents, not kids.

A sales associate suggested that I have someone order it online in the store and have it shipped to my doorstep. I expressed my skepticism that it would arrive by the coming weekend, but they were confident that it would be delivered by then, so I had them order it. With the free shipping, it showed up two days later! I would definitely not hesitate to order this way again! :) June 24, 2014

Submited by- ruchii.kumar on 04 Jul, 2011 Career
Get a life Get a career be financially independent I have heard it all Tell me please all you sitagita readers what options are there for a women who is forty plus? I would love to hear about career options which can be taken up without investing a bomb (turn hobby into business) open beauty parlours/start aromatherapy/reiki/yoga class/sell tupperware/ etc etc. Anyone in the corporate world or private sector willing to employ women over forty who are adept at inventory control/man management /party organization/housekeeping/fire fighting or crisis management? We all belittle the housewife and wave her aside with a disdainful look, but if you think carefully the above mentioned list of jobs is what she does with aplomb when managing a house and looking after kids and husband. She is on call 24 hours of the day/ minus pay/bonus or even casual leave. She takes it all in her stride. Have you ever seen a housewife turn away her children saying "Sorry no food today. No Gas" She would rather be dead than miss out on a deadline of putting food on the table for her family Best crisis manager in the world is our mere housewife. All this and more she learns in the school of life on the job while coping with in-laws, pregnancies, maids or no maids etc Need I say more. After the family chores are taken care of and all obligations and duty fulfilled the humble housewife turns to look at herself and try and get a life of her own Tell me who is out there ready to employ her flexi time or otherwise now that her formal education is outdated and housewifely skills are looked down upon. Life they say begins at forty Tell me dear readers how many of you have been able to get yourself jobs after the empty nest syndrome has set in I would love to know I have good communication skills, am a committed worker, am organised and disciplined in my work, possess excellent time management skills. I have also tried to keep pace with the times by teaching myself the use of the computer. Any employers out there listening?

Many Republican House candidates are running against Nancy Pelosi, but only John Dennis of San Francisco is going head to head with the Speaker of the House on Election Day. How does a Republican defeat a San Francisco liberal and one of the most powerful people in the federal government?
"You don't talk yourself out of being able to win," Dennis said in an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD in Washington. "You pretend that it's not that hard."
But it really is that hard. Pelosi won 72 percent of the vote in California's Eighth Congressional District in 2008. Her Republican challenger didn't even come in second; that consolation prize went to Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar activist who ran as an independent and earned a paltry 16 percent of the vote.
But Dennis, a businessman who says he's in "that Barry Goldwater wing" of the GOP, is nevertheless attempting to defeat a sitting speaker for the first time since Tom Foley (who was also the last Democratic speaker) lost in 1994. Dennis will be outspent and outmatched in terms of name recognition, so he's going about campaigning a bit differently.
In September, the Dennis campaign released a video advertisement featuring the characters from The Wizard of Oz, with an actress portraying Pelosi as the Wicked Witch of the West. The goofy, campy video, produced by the same folks who made Alabama agriculture commissioner candidate Dale Peterson a household name, went viral. "Humor can be a great way of taking down barriers," said Dennis, who hopes voters in the district consider a Republican with a sense of humor.
(The video, which received more than 650,000 views, has since been removed from YouTube after a complaint made by EMI Publishing. A copy of the video can be viewed here.)
Dennis says the ad has been received well among Republican donors. "It's paid for itself," he said.
A self-proclaimed fan of Ayn Rand and enemy of government bailouts and spending, Dennis admires Ron Paul most among House members. "He inspired me to get involved in politics," Dennis said.
While the Dennis campaign is going full speed ahead with radio ads and get out the vote drives, it will probably take more than quirky YouTube videos and a de-energized progressive base to sweep Pelosi out of power. But for the political fantasies of Republicans and conservatives, Dennis provides a delightful image: "Is there any other concession speech you'd like to see than Nancy Pelosi's?"

India to Consider Letting Foreign Airlines Invest in Local Carriers
MUMBAI - India's cabinet will consider a commerce ministry proposal to let foreign airlines purchase stakes in local carriers, the Economic Times reported Monday, citing an unnamed government official.
Indian laws currently allow up to 49% foreign direct investment in India's airlines, but foreign carriers are barred from investing in the sector.
The proposal, circulated among various ministries, has received an informal nod from the country's aviation ministry, the report said, citing an official from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce.
"While DIPP favors a 26% cap on investment by foreign airlines, the aviation ministry wants it restricted to 24%," the report said.

That was an interesting perspective over a child who obviously read and correctly interpreted both the book and the assignment. I might take it a step further and ask anyone to analyze a shift in government to a more authoritarian style and see that .. oh wow, first education is attacked and less are able to access It. To control the product of the people who are massively indoctrinated with the thought that working in a certain income level or having things were more desirable than more realistic and socially beneficial jobs that would threaten the government.
I don't believe that having a teacher of a race other than your own should have anything to do with how well you learn from them. Thought, I do see the shift in society to a more segregation based on the income of parents and wealth of the cities of the children. More specifically, when a district has to weigh between education funds and police funds, they consolidate school raising the class member average, people with more wealth can choose to send there children to private or out of district schools. This is a cyclical process, and the single parent with three kids and working two jobs to keep them fed and under a roof isn't going to be able to send their kids to those places and even more likely, won't have the time to just sit and study with them.

Friends, family react to David Carradine's death
Reaction to the death of David Carradine:
"I was deeply saddened by the news of David Carradine's passing. We met when we made 'Boxcar Bertha' together, almost 40 years ago. I have very fond memories of our time together on that picture and on 'Mean Streets,' where he agreed to do a brief cameo. David was a great collaborator, a uniquely talented actor, and a wonderful spirit. He loved movies, acting in movies, making movies, and he was always extremely generous." — Martin Scorsese.
"David was one of the first actors I ever worked with when I started my career and the closest person to a brother that I ever had in my life. It is shocking to me that he is no longer with us. I had been thinking about calling him for the last several days and advise anybody who has been thinking about reaching out to a loved one to do so. I have so many great memories of David that I wouldn't even know where to begin. He has a very special place in my heart." — Michael Madsen.
"My uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man. He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected. I adored him as a child, and as an adult I admired and respected him. We will all miss him terribly, and are so grateful for everyone's condolences." — Martha Plimpton.
"R.I.P. David Carradine. You were a true hero to so many of us children of the 70s. We'll miss you, Kwai Chang Caine." — Rainn Wilson, via Twitter.
"David's always been kind of a seeker of knowledge and of wisdom in his own inimitable way. It was such a logical thing for him to play that part (in 'Kung Fu.') The years of his life preceding that all conspired to make him the perfect choice for that role." — Keith Carradine in a 1995 interview.
"I wasn't like a TV star in those days, I was like a rock and roll star. It was a phenomenon kind of thing. It wasn't like someone in sitcom. It was very special." — David Carradine in a 1996 interview, talking about how "Kung Fu" changed his life.

Can anyone tell me if the Nexus 4 is compatible with Beats by Dre headphones?
I know for some phones (such as my beloved BlackBerry 9780), the 3.5mm headphone jack is shaped in such a way that does not allow the Beats by Dre headphone port to fully connect into it...I'm wondering if my headphones will work with this phone or not, basically.

Is it possible to mirror the screen of the Nexus 7 via HDMI?
I'm about to — today — purchase a Nexus 7. I read somewhere that there was an HDMI-out port, but I can't see it. I suppose it could be the Micro-USB port, but I can't find any adapters. Do such things exist? Do they work? Can you recommend one?

I'm wondering what the best way is to perform the below functionality:
- Read an ISO 8601 timestamp, say from an attribute of a HTML element
- Check whether a certain amount of time has elapsed
- Do function() if this amount of time has elapsed
I could think of a few ways to attack this problem, but all of them seem a little clumsy and difficult to provide flexibility with. This doesn't have to update in real-time, but I am using jQuery and the TimeAgo plugin (https://github.com/rmm5t/jquery-timeago), so we may be able to do that.
I'm sure other people have done or attempted to do this, but have not seen any definitive answers.
For an example, I have the HTML:
~6 hours ago
and I want to insert a
New! element after this if the timestamp is less than, say, 10 minutes old.
We can do something like this to get us started:
$('abbr.timeago').each(function() {
var timestamp = $(this).attr("title");
if (function to compare time?) {
$(this).insertAfter('New!');
What's the best way to compare the time?

"Network-based antimalware detection solutions provide defense in depth for organizations looking to reduce their exposure; however, if performed inline, it should have minimal impact on network performance,"
Sourcefire also introduced additions to the FirePOWER 7000 Series appliance lineup, and new 5.1.1 software featuring file type detection and control, as well as security intelligence for IP reputation and blacklisting. With the new models, Sourcefire's performance range now spans from 50 Mbps to 40+ Gbps. FirePOWER appliances provide industry-best threat protection with proven performance leadership, and comprise Sourcefire Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention Systems (NGIPS), with and without application control, and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) models on a universal platform.
Advanced Malware Protection for FirePOWER
FirePOWER's advanced malware protection operates inline to provide continuous network protection and minimize propagation of advanced malware by creating forensic fingerprints of files to identify known malware, track file movement and identify attack targets for focused remediation. Using Sourcefire's security big data analytics, this advanced malware protection delivers continuous file analysis and retrospective alerting, so that users can be notified of malicious files, even if they were previously deemed safe. Advanced malware protection for FirePOWER integrates with the collective intelligence of Sourcefire's FireAMP solution. This provides similar protection for devices, enabling visibility into malware trajectory and empowering rapid defense and cleanup to avoid reinfection.
Enhanced Awareness and Threat Protection
Sourcefire's 5.1.1 software, which is also being announced today, serves as the foundation for FirePOWER- and virtual appliance-based solutions, and includes several new features that enhance network awareness and further strengthen threat prevention.
· Detection and control of all file types, file protocols and file direction
· Security intelligence for IP Reputation blacklisting and alerting / blocking botnets, attackers, spam sources and other malicious IPs
· Context Explorer to visualize and explore contextual information about most-used applications, hosts and user identity
· Updated dashboards and event reporting to provide graphical summary views
Expanded FirePOWER Appliance Range
Sourcefire is also expanding the FirePOWER appliance line with the introduction of three new models – extending the FirePOWER performance range from 50 Mbps to 40+ Gbps. The new appliances include the FirePOWER 7010 (50 Mbps), the FirePOWER 7020 (100 Mbps) and the FirePOWER 7030 (250 Mbps). The FirePOWER appliance family provides customers with a powerful universal security platform with the flexibility to support evolving security needs --NGIPS, App Control, NGFW and advanced malware protection -- with scalability to address the widest range of enterprise requirements.
"With this release, Sourcefire has continued to innovate and deliver industry-leading threat protection and performance that can easily scale and evolve with an organization'

First person
In video games, first-person refers to a graphical perspective rendered from the viewpoint of the player character. In many cases, this may be the viewpoint from the cockpit of a vehicle. Many different genres have made use of first-person perspectives, ranging from adventure games to flight simulators. Perhaps the most notable genre to make use of this device is the first-person shooter, where the graphical perspective has an immense impact on game play. Read the full article at the Wikipedia.

Say When
When you should retract gear, reduce power, stop climb, initiate descent and more
Speed brakes can be a wonderful aerodynamic benefit for airplanes with low drag profiles, but some pilots misunderstand their limitations, or more accurately, the lack of them. You can deploy them right up to redline with no adverse effects, and they introduce major drag increase. Extend them near yellow line, and the airplane will react as if it just flew into a wall of Jell-O.
What some pilots don't appreciate is that the bottom limit is pretty much unlimited, as well. Speed brakes can also help dissipate speed around the pattern and may be deployed all the way to the ground, if necessary.
Yes, the standard directive is to retract them prior to landing, but that's more a cosmetic than an operational limitation, with little or no adverse effect if you leave them extended.
Years ago, I was being checked out in a new Beech B36TC Bonanza prior to an editorial trip from Orlando to Oshkosh and on to California. We'd done some air work, and I'd extended the speed brakes for descent prior to our first landing. The check pilot was a courteous, enthusiastic CFI who didn't say much but obviously monitored everything I was doing.
I entered the pattern with speed brakes extended, flew base and final, landed and pulled off the runway for a taxi back, and my check pilot commented, "You really should have retracted the speed brakes for landing. It's dangerous to land with them extended." I asked what would happen if we attempted a takeoff with the speed brakes deployed. He simply shook his head and said that wasn't a good idea. Finally, he consented after moving his seat forward and resting one hand on the yoke.
Of course, there was no difference at all in the takeoff or landing. At speeds below 80 knots, speed brakes made no discernible difference in the Bonanza's handling or stall characteristics. I even reduced the approach speed to a short-field number, 75 knots, and the Bonanza responded with its typical gentle manners.
Later, back at the FBO, the instructor said he never would have thought to try that, but he agreed it made sense that the airplane would manifest virtually no reaction to speed brakes at low airspeeds. He was right.

text: 584 FXUS63 KPAH 282332 AAA AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED National Weather Service Paducah KY 532 PM CST SAT NOV 28 2015 .UPDATE... Issued at 532 PM CST SAT NOV 28 2015 Updated the aviation discussion for the 00Z TAF issuance. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday Night) Issued at 251 PM CST SAT NOV 28 2015 Will be cancelling the remaining portion of the Flash Flood Watch early, as latest radar trends show the rains coming quickly to an end across the southern portions of southeast Missouri. The overwhelming trend in the latest guidance is for a more rapid drying trend into this evening, but with all of the moisture in the area and the cold front lingering just to the southeast will err to the wet side tonight and Sunday. However, did manage to remove PoPs in the KMVN area Sunday afternoon. The 12Z models continue to stream disturbances northeast through the region and keep QPF mainly over west Kentucky through Sunday night. On Monday, the surface boundary will move back through the region as a warm front in response to a strong storm system moving northeast into the central and northern Plains. However, the models are not very wet. In general, they keep QPF near the TN border and just to the northwest of our region in northern and western Missouri, closer to the stronger forcing. Will keep good chance PoPs over most of the region, but many areas may very well remain dry Monday. The 12Z models are similarly non-committal for PoPs Monday night as a weak surface trough/cold front moves through the area. Our PoP forecast more closely resembles the timing in the 12Z ECMWF, rather than the slower GFS solution. With low overcast skies expected through the period, temperatures will stay in a rather tight range. Generally stayed close to the consensus through the period. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 251 PM CST SAT NOV 28 2015 Good confidence in the extended. Models are in good agreement of precipitation exiting the area Tuesday. The GFS is slower than the ECMWF and Canadian solutions. However they all agree on Tuesday becoming dry.

The Indianapolis Star recently profiled local boy makes good (handing out other people's money) John Fernandez, the ex-Bloomington mayor and Obama fundraiser who now heads up the Economic Development Administration. A reference to an EDA taxpayer handout to a technology park in southern Indiana caught my eye:
Southwestern Indiana got a $6.7 million boost from the EDA last year to create a multi-county technology park to tap into the research related to the Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center in Martin County. At the July groundbreaking for the park, Gov. Mitch Daniels called it a 'long-awaited development that will serve as an economic catalyst for the region.'
Why would Republican governor Mitch "Red Menace" Daniels want to help the Obama administration score public relations points with Hoosiers? One reason is Daniels's favorite corporate welfare apparatus, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, also handed out money from state taxpayers for the technology park.
From a WestGate @ Crane Technology Park press release:
The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered WestGate @ Crane Authority, Inc. up to $1 million from the Technology Development Grand Fund as a local match to a U.S. Economic Development Administration grant commitment of $6.6 million.
So what is this technology park that U.S. and Indiana taxpayers are being forced to subsidize?
Qualified as a state Certified Technology Park (CTP) by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), the WestGate @ Crane Technology Park represents a natural marketplace for defense contractors currently providing technical support, and research and development services to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division in southern Indiana. Operations of the $2 billion URS corporation, and SAIC, the nation's 7th largest defense contractor, in addition to ITT, CACI, CSC, CLEC, MLE, Raydar & Associates, Novonics, NAVMAR, Stimulus Engineering and Technical Services Corporation (TSC), already maintain operations in the park.
Tad DeHaven is a budget analyst at the Cato Institute. Previously he was a deputy director of the Indiana Office of Management and Budget. DeHaven also worked as a budget policy advisor to Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Tom Coburn (R-OK).

The Québec City Police Department is delighted to welcome the 110th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), August 16 to 19, 2015.
Canadian and international news in recent months has seemed to echo, sometimes tragically, the theme of this year's conference: Radicalization: Prevent, Act, Restore. Ideas are becoming more polarized and individuals and small groups may abandon social and political debate and take refuge in aggressive dissidence. What is the role of the police in such a situation? High-profile speakers and exciting workshops will help you get a clearer grasp of this troubling phenomenon, see that it is not limited to major centres, and better understand the framework, methods, and people we need to work with in dealing with one of the 21st century's greatest threats.
And as you're being enriched professionally, you'll also have an opportunity to explore a city known world-wide for its charms and attractions. In Québec City European flair meets North American energy, creativity serves culture and understanding, and history comes to life beneath the ramparts and church towers.

We're always ready to board the next flight to Berlin. After all, it's Western Europe's most affordable and (we think) coolest capital city.
Berlin, however, possesses an even stronger pull during the summer months when the sun shines late into the night and residents, giddy from surviving the dark chill of winter, give themselves many reasons to celebrate.
Here are 10 reasons we're excited to visit Berlin this summer. If you're ready to blast off, visit EuroCheapo for more advice on Berlin hotels and budget tips.
On June 3, the city will celebrate the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Europe's newest and most modern airport. Located south of the center on the Schönefeld-Brandenburg border, the airport will replace Tegel and Schönefeld AIrports. Photo: gmp Architekten, JSK International / Visualisierung Björn Rolle
Speaking of old airports, the (now repurposed) Tempelhof Airport gives a home to the annual DMY International Design Festival, showcasing innovative design. On June 7, design studios open to the public (and pour wine) late into the night for the Nachtschicht, "Long Night of the Design Studios." Photo: © Bernhard_Ludewig
Summer means multiple homo-celebrations in Berlin. Get started with the Lesbian and Gay Street Festival in Nollendorf Platz (June 16-17, 2012), celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Shake off the hangover in time for the Christopher Street Day parade on June 23, 2012. You won't be alone ... more than 500,000 revellers of all ages are expected to join the street party.

Dancers take to the city's stages with contemporary works from around the world for two weeks in August during the "Tanz im August" festival. Cheapos take note: Tickets to many of the performances are quite cheap -- or free! Photo of The Guests Company: © Laurent Philippe
Have a royal night out in Sanssouci Park, the former summer residence of the Prussian kings in nearby Potsdam. On Schlössernacht on August 18 the gardens come alive with lights, concerts, fireworks and, yes, actors in period garb. Photo: DocSnyder
More than 100 museums in Berlin stay open past midnight for the Long Night of Museums on August 25, with special performances, exhibitions and drinks. One ticket gets you into the whole shebang. Photo: Tränenpalast © Sergej Horovitz
Visit the ancient Hellenistic metropolis of Pergamon at the special exhibition, "Panorama of the Ancient Metropolis," showing through the end of September. Get dizzy inside the 360° panorama (pictured) created by artist Yadegar Asisi that recreates the city in the year 129 AD. Photo: © Tom Schulze 2011
Unsurprisingly, Berlin has dozens of hip, ultra-designed and wacky hotel options. The Michelberger Hotel (pictured above), offers an "eclectic collection of lounges, cafes, concert venues and 119 rooms" in Friedrichshain. Doubles $100. (See more recommended hotels in Berlin.) Photo: EuroCheapo.com

UT: Refugee Crisis/Dark Territory-"Stealing Fire"

Re: UT: Refugee Crisis/Dark Territory-"Stealing Fire"
I appreciate both of your comments. Instead of waiting to build up the eventual confrontation between Tai and Helen, I decided to just go for it early on. And I wanted to put all of Helen's fears out there so that she doesn't come across-hopefully-as a bad person. And I wanted her fears to also mirror some of Tai's own doubts. As Gibraltar said, some of the other crew are probably thinking some of the same things and I wanted that doubt to be out there to weigh on Tai's mind as the story goes forward. And as CeJay said, the Erickson crew and Tai definitely need to continue getting to know each other and perhaps that will allay the mutual concerns...or add to them. Read on to find out.

Alien Vessel
By birth and occupation, Lt. Ramlo was not one to be swayed by emotion or superstition. However they deeper they traversed into the dead ship, his trepidation multiplied. He was glad that Shashlik was with him. She walked quietly at his side, her compression rifle at the ready.
But even with her there, he couldnt quite shake the feeling of dread resting on his shoulders, and wiggling into his thoughts. Each body they passed, as burned out a husk as had been the corpse they had found on the bridge, only confirmed his suspicions that something wicked had befallen the crew.
Something so terrible that they had preferred self-immolation. I still cant believe it, Shashliks voice squeaked through his helmets receiver. That an entire ship would commit mass suicide, her helmet shook. Ramlo was surprised, pleasantly so, that his concerns were so transparent. Even though they were no longer together, the simpatico between them remained, an ember of a fire that could perhaps be rekindled in time.
I stand by my hypothesis, Ramlo said. The proof is growing incontrovertible, he declared. My readings indicate that most of the corpses were incinerated, from the inside out.
Shashlik stopped and faced him, a ghastly expression on her face. But why? How could they do that to themselves?
As opposed to being shot or stabbed, the Arkenite didnt mean for his reply to sound so flip. Along the way Shashlik had first discovered a few dead bodies that had been sliced open with blades or punctured with projectile weapons. Their tricorders even picked up faint disintegrator static, so the unfortunates had been set upon by assailants with a variety of weapons, none that could be traced to a definitive source. Among the few disintegrator markers the devices had noted were Type 3, usually used by Klingons, Breen, or Romulans, Eminian sonic disruptors, or banned Varon-Ts, so the culprits could have been anyone.
I would have preferred facing a warriors death, on my feet than taking my own life, Shashlik stated, a note of disgust clouding her concern about the fate of these travelers. It would have been far preferable.
From your cultural perspective, Ramlo couldnt help but point out. Despite all of her admirable qualities, her physical strength and strength of purpose, her compassion for her fellow crew aboard Erickson, and her sharp military mind, Ramlo often found her cultural bias disappointing. Shash often felt that everyone should think or feel like she, or the Kaylar did, and the universe was just simply too big for that. It was an ongoing debate between them.
So you agree with this mass suicide? Exasperation was heavy in her voice.
I didnt say I agreed, or disagreed, but perhaps these people took what they felt was the best option, as opposed to being butchered, Ramlo answered. Perhaps it was the most logical course of action.
Shashlik snorted, Now you sound like a Vulcan.
Well you do know I spent several years at their Science Academy, he pointed out. The Kaylar leaned in close enough so that he could see her roll her eyes.
I know, I know, you love to tout that dont you?
No, I was just saying, Ramlo replied, feeling a little defensive.
Yes, you went to the intergalactically prestigious Science Academy, Shash shrugged her broad shoulders, well why you were learning how logical it was to kill yourself, I was surviving real life and death trials to earn my place among my clan.
As I have heard before too, Ramlo allowed a wearied tone into his voice. Are you going to regale me with another tale of how carried an egg unbroken in your mouth while you battled mountain devils and winged raptor-wolves while making your way unaided through the Ingarr Mountains?
Well, it was an amazing feat, now Shash felt a little sheepish. And I did it without food or water, wearing only a loincloth.
Thank you for that visual at least, the Arkenite smoothly injected. It took the warrior a moment to catch on. Then she cuffed him hard on the back, almost knocking him over.
Still the same old slime snake you are, the security officer continued laughing. After all this time, you still amuse me.
A good thing, I guess, Ramlo ventured.
Why yes Ram, Shashlik peered down at him again, because I dont think you want to be on the opposite side of my laughter.
No, Ive seen the results of that, Ramlo replied, Im happy where Im at.

Shuttlecraft Greenaugh
Ensign Roland Fryer frowned as he scanned the data rolling across his screen, sent from the Oyekan. How did you pick up this warp trail?
More like a reconstruction, Ensign Karen Kittles replied, a satisfied smile on her face. While waiting on Lieutenants Ramlo and Shashlik to return or make their next report, I isolated all energy signatures that were not naturally occurring in the expanse. Its been the proverbial needle in the haystack, but I think weve got the escape routes leading into the expanse for the monsters that attacked the ship.
No, youve got it, Fryer said, his furrowed brow smoothing out again. He smiled, Good job Karen. The fair, freckled woman smiled, and Fryers heart skipped a beat. He tried to recover by getting back to business, We need to inform the lieutenants about this.
Kittles smile dimmed. Im not so sure we should do that, she answered, prompting both Rolands eyebrows to shoot up in confusion.
Well, this is all just speculation, and I dont want to take them away from their investigation.
But this is something that majorly impacts that investigation, Fryer pointed out, not sure why he would need to, with Karen of all people.
Maybe, she replied, however this could just be totally unrelated traffic.
Yeah, Fryer riposted, you dont believe that either.
Youre right Roland, I dont, she admitted, However, you know what they say about me on the ship, how Im a kiss ass and a ladder climber, well, I dont want to play into that by jumping the gun.
Or is it that you dont want to make a mistake that might derail your career choices? As much as Fryer liked the beautiful, red cornrowed woman, he was never one to hide from the truth. Karen glared at him, a pinched expression marring her beautiful features.
Thats not it at all, she shot back.
Okay, he shrugged, unconvinced, Then I think we should inform the lieutenants.
No, she shook her head, Let me look into this.
You know the captain told us not to go into the expanse. He pointed out. And what do you think defying her orders are going to do for your ambitions, whether you find something or not?
Karen shrugged, If I find nothing, no harm, no foul, and it will just be between us, but if I do verify the warp trails, I could see me getting a commendation for original thinking.
Youre delusional, you know that right? Fryer pointed out, hoping to splash the cold water of reality onto his colleague.
Look Roland, itll be a quick in and out, I promise.
He shook his head. Hey Ive heard that before.
Youve probably used that line before on one of your many suitors, she smiled at him, a lascivious gleam in her green eyes. The temperature suddenly increased in the shuttles cabin. Fryer resisted the urge to tug at his mustard collar.
I wouldnt say that, he managed, after a big gulp.
Roland, I would, she remarked, and others say the same thing.
Stop kidding.
Im not, no joke, she said, Ive heard that youve sent a few hearts fluttering around the ship. Its made me curious to see what all the fuss is about.
Roland tugged on his collar, unable to resist any longer. You know this isnt working Karen.
Yes it is, she replied, punctuating it with a musical laugh. I promise it will be quick, and once I have confirmed that they are actual warp trails, Ill be back, and once were back on Erickson
I should back you up, Fryer said, pulling his last card. What if the Tholians are involved? You cant handle them on your own.
I dont think even two shuttles could deal with a Tholian warship, Kittles said, and I definitely have no problem with discretion being the better part of valor. If anything, if there are Tholians hiding out in the expanse I can warn you, the lieutenants, and Erickson in case they have an ambush in mind.
Not buying it, Fryer insisted, Ill go with you.
And risk incurring Shashliks wrath? Kittles asked. I dont think so.
Good point, Roland replied. He sighed, I know Im going to regret this but do it quick, and Karen, please be safe.
Back in a flash, she promised before signing off. Out of his port window he watched the Oyekan break away from the shuttle and zip into the expanses coruscating gases.
Whatever happened going forward, Roland just knew that his own life had just had a major turning point, and he just hoped that Karen got back before the oppressive finality of that thought fully seeped into his consciousness.

Larranaga Quits Twitter After Cream Cheese Flap
A couple weeks ago, we brought you the story of George Mason basketball coach Jim Larranaga tweeting a couple sarcastic remarks about the NCAA's ridiculous - but true - restrictions on bagels given to players as snacks. Basically, the players may have bagels, but they can't have cream cheese or butter on them. No, really.
(Guys! Remember that the apple can't be larger than your fist! Your eligibility's at stake, you know!")
We particularly enjoyed one of our commenters' suggestions, which was to circumvent the rule by using soy- and nut-based products and spreads, since nuts also qualify as snacks under the NCAA's arcane snack guidelines. But apparently Larranaga's got a different idea, which is to abandon the fight altogether, which is one of the main reasons why he's shuttering his Twitter account.

The good news for Jerry Brown
The press is all over the latest Field Poll, which shows Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman in a dead heat. And it's no surprise that, thanks to a campaign that thus far has been almost entirely negative, voters aren't particularly thrilled with either candidate.
But I think there's some good news for Jerry Brown here. Whitman has spent more than $90 million so far, and the voters like her less than they did six months ago. After all that money, some of which has gone for blistering attacks on Brown, Whitman is still not ahead. And it's hard to see what she can do now to move the needle.
Moreover, it looks like the attack ads on Whitman by Brown's labor allies — including California Working Families 2010 — have had their intended effect: to increase Whitman's negatives and keep her from pulling away from Brown during the summer, before he can afford to put his own ads on TV.
Meanwhile, Brown's favorability is only marginally changed from March. It's 42-40% favorable today, compared to 41-37% favorable before. (Of course, Brown's favorable was 50-25% back in March of 2009, but that was when he was just the new Attorney General and not a candidate for governor with rivals.)
At some point, Jerry's got to start seriously campaigning, and he's got a lot of work to do. He has to define himself to younger voters, who know a lot more about Ebay than about Brown's tenure as governor, which was generally pretty good. He has to remind Latinos of how awful Whitman is on immigration. He's got to spend some money.
But at this point, there's hardly a voter in California (at least, not one with a TV set) who hasn't seen multiple Whitman ads, defining her as a successful business person and attacking Brown as a failed politician. Those are powerful messages. The ads have been well produced, well targeted and should have been effective. And they haven't gotten her over the halfway point yet -- even against an opponent who is vulnerable to attack and hasn't campaigned much at all.
Both candidates seem to be holding the party loyalists -- the vast majority of the Republicans like Meg, the vast majority of the Democrats like Jerry. And there are more Democrats than Republicans. The independents aren't breaking Meg's way, either -- she's only slightly ahead, not enough to make up the difference.
Now if Brown can just get his people to care enough to go to the polls. ...

Next week is our last week of chemo. Since Logan has been cancer free since the first surgery we expect to get his official remission immediately after treatment. He will have a few tests and then get his main line out a few weeks after that. So now we are thinking ahead about getting back to "normal" life.
We have a little experience since he has relapsed. But during his first treatment we were told he had a 99.9% chance of being cancerfree for life. We were never nervous when he had check ups or testing. We just felt like cancer was over for us forever.
Now that he has relapsed we don't have that luxury. I feel like I will be a wreck before every test and check up. How do you deal with it? I feel like we are being followed by a wolf that could attack again at any time.
Also, Logan has been treated very differently than normal. He sleeps on his mattress in our room. He pretty much sleep and eats whenever he wants. He also is allowed to eat whatever he wants. He is also used to getting a prize everyday after he gets his shot. He is also used to watching a lot of tv since that's is all he is able to do sometimes.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on transitioning back to a more normal life.
