The arsenal of tools available for both protecting and penetrating our environments is daunting in both quantity and ability. Some of these tools are highly specialized in purpose while other are multipurpose and serve as building blocks for a larger toolkit. One such tool is the network sniffer. Network sniffing, in its most general form, consists of intercepting frames from the network and viewing their contents. The ability to do this has been widespread for some time and was used by everyone from network administrators (who were troubleshooting problems) to crackers (who were pulling passwords and files from the wire). If we gauge our timeframe by the release dates of some of the more recent sniffing tools, it was only recently that network sniffing was publicized to be possible on a switched network. This delay in information dissemination led to the, still prevalent, train of thought that migrating your environment to a switched network would prevent anyone from sniffing your network traffic (unless, of course, they could connect to the backplane/uplink port on your switch). Needless to say, through the efforts of the security community (or the anti-security community, depending on your point of view), tools have surfaced which allow for network sniffing on switched networks. To gain a better understanding of this, we need a brief explanation of how non-switched networks work and how they are sniffed. I'll then move on to show how switched networks work and show how they are sniffed. I'll finish with a discussion of how to protect your traffic in both non-switched or switched environments.
In the non-switched network environment, we carry the concept of a network segment. A segment1 is a network architecture that resides behind a router, bridge, hub or switch in which every node is directly addressable from every other node. In the non-switched environment, frames are handled in a broadcast manner. That is, when one node transmits a frame, it is 'seen' by every node on the segment. Each node, in turn, will briefly exam the frame to see if it is addressed to them. If not, it is discarded. However, if they are the intended recipient, they accept the frame for processing. I liken this to a (now uncommon) party-line phone call where a single phone call can simultaneously ring multiple phones. Everyone answers and, after determining that the call is not for them, hangs up (at least, they hang up if they respect the privacy of others sharing the party-line). For the purposes of this paper, Node B will be designated as the host to be used as a sniffing agent. Node A and Node C will represent the 'innocents' who are merely trying to communicate with each other. This is shown in Figure 1.
The normal flow of traffic in a non-switched network is as follows:
In order for a host to be used as a sniffing agent, the network interface must be set to 'promiscuous' mode. Setting this mode requires root or administrator access. After this mode is set, the network interface will no longer drop network frames which are addressed to other hosts. Rather, it will pass them up to the higher network layers with the expectation that some software at a higher layer will process them. In referencing Figure 1, the steps of this process would be as follows:
You can see that the non-switched environment lends itself quite nicely to sniffing. It requires little extra effort on the part of the sniffing agent since the hub broadcasts the frames to all active ports. Several sniffing utilities exist. Some of the publicly available tools used to sniff non-switched networks include:
In the switched network environment, we still carry the concept of a network segment, but the segment includes only the node and the switch. Data frames are handled in a direct manner. That is, frames from Node A to Node C are only sent across the circuits in the switch that are necessary to complete a connection between Node A and Node C. I liken this to a common person-to-person call in which Person A calls Person C. This is shown in Figure 2.
This mode of operation carries some intrinsic benefits:
One of the basic operations of the Ethernet protocol revolves around ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests and replies. In general, when Node A wants to communicate with Node C on the network, it sends an ARP request. Node C will send an ARP reply which will include the MAC address. Even in a switched environment, this initial ARP request is sent in a broadcast manner. It is possible for Node B to craft and send an unsolicited, fake ARP reply to Node A. This fake ARP reply will specify that Node B has the MAC address of Node C. Node A will unwittingly send the traffic to Node B since it professes to have the intended MAC address. Some available tools are specialized for sending fake ARP replies to classes of machines (i.e., NFS servers, HTTP servers, etc). One such tool is dsniff5 and it works well to sniff for specific types of traffic. Other tools listen for the general ARP request and send the fake ARP reply at that time. The parasite4 program falls into this category and it serves well to sniff the entire network. For this type of attack to work, we need the ability to forward on the frames we receive to their intended host. This is most commonly achieved through some type of IP forwarding, either at the kernel or application level.
Since switches are responsible for setting up the virtual circuits from one node to another, they must keep a translation table that tracks which addresses (specifically, which MAC addresses) are on which physical port. The amount of memory for this translation table is limited. This fact allows the switch to be exploited for sniffing purposes. On some switches, it is possible to bombard the switch with bogus MAC address data. The switch, not knowing how to handle the excess data, will 'fail open'. That is, it will revert to a hub and will broadcast all network frames to all ports. At this point, one of the more generic network sniffers will work.
It's not difficult to imagine that, since all frames on the network are routed based on their MAC address, that the ability to impersonate another host would work to our advantage. That's just what MAC duplicating does. You reconfigure Node B to have the same MAC address as the machine whose traffic you're trying to sniff. This is easy to do on a Linux box if you have access to the 'ifconfig' command. This differs from ARP Spoofing because, in ARP Spoofing, we are 'confusing' the host by poisoning it's ARP cache. In a MAC Duplicating attack, we actually confuse the switch itself into thinking two ports have the same MAC address. Since the data will be forwarded to both ports, no IP forwarding is necessary.
There are several methods to protect again these attacks. Some of these methods are applicable to both the non-switched and switched environments.
By enabling IP filtering on your switch, you directly specify which traffic is allowed to flow to and from each port. This can be a monumental effort to put in place and manage, especially if your environment is dynamic.
If your hub or switch has the ability to enable port security, this will help to protect you from both the MAC Flood and MAC Spoofing attacks. These feature effectively prevents the hub or switch from recognizing more than 1 MAC address on a physical port. This, like many security procedures, restricts the environment and amplifies the need for a management process as well as a auditing process.
Routing should only be performed by the designated routers. That is, no workstations should be allowed to run a routing protocol as they may be compromised. Also, it goes without saying that management of any of your network gear should be through a secure connection and not through telnet which passes the administrative login/password in cleartext.
I believe this examination provides another justification for 'defense-in-depth'. Networks are an infrastructure enabler for us to perform our daily functions. The general networks we use were never meant to be used as a security feature; although, they continue to be used in this manner. Providing a managed network infrastructure is a key component of any good defensive position. While compromising a single host may gain the attacker access to a few systems, the ability to sniff userids and passwords for several machines will effectively give away the keys to the kingdom. Network managers must be aware that they have 2 realistic options. They can either manage the network appropriately and be part of the team trying to protect the environment, or they can configure the environment so that it is 'hands-off' or 'self-maintaining' which, traditionally, translates into lax security.

The Obama administration's reaction to the massive demonstrations and government crackdown in Egypt has been inconsistent, awkwardly changing from day to day. Instead of supporting the protesters and their pleas for democracy and reform, the administration staked out a position last week supporting the existing hard-line regime. Five days later, the administration completely reversed itself. This kind of leadership makes the U.S. appear weak and vacillating, and is all too characteristic of liberal Democrats who lack strong principles when it comes to freedom and democracy.
The protests were precipitated by the dictatorial actions of Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak. In the weeks leading up to last November's elections, Mubarak's National Democratic Party restricted the press and jailed dozens of opposition members. Mubarak's reelection was widely regarded as rigged. The Obama administration barely said a word. Pro-reform activists planned a protest to begin on January 25, 2011, "Freedom Revolution Day," organizing tens of thousands of Egyptians to rally in the streets until the 82-year old Mubarak agreed to resign his 30-year rule and give in to their demands for freedom, rights and justice.
Mubarak responded to the protesters by shutting down internet access and limiting cell phone access. He ordered the military onto the streets with tanks, and implemented a curfew, but it has been ignored. The protesters have stood firm, setting fire to police stations and offices of the National Democratic Party. Over 100 people have been killed and thousands injured.
Two days after the clash started, Vice President Joe Biden sided with Mubarak's crushing of human rights, declaring that Mubarak is not a dictator and should not step down. Outraged, conservatives and human rights activists demanded that the administration cut aid to Egypt until Mubarak stopped the crackdown. Backing down, the Obama administration said it would "review" current assistance. Then the administration distanced itself even further from Mubarak, calling for the regime to unblock internet access. Hillary Clinton asked Mubarak to embrace political reform and democracy. Most recently, Obama called on other world leaders to discuss supporting an "orderly transition" to a new regime.

Schenectady Christian might not have one overwhelming player, but it does possess a strong one-two punch in senior center Matt McCarty and junior forward Jake Bowman. The duo helped the Falcons avoid an early exit in last Friday's regional semifinal against Brushton-Moira by combining to score 52 points in Schenectady Christian's 70-56 victory. McCarty had 31 points and 16 rebounds, and Bowman netted 12 of his 21 points during a 20-8 fourth quarter run that allowed the Falcons to break open a close game.
"That was a very athletic Brushton team," coach Bowman said. "That was a great game for us to be involved in."
Other Schenectady Christian players can step up, too. Junior guard Bryan Bishop drained six three-pointers on his way to a 22-point performance in the Falcons' 60-50 victory over Seton Catholic Saturday in Potsdam. Bowman contributed 18 points, and McCarty added 13 points and 10 rebounds in a game Schenectady Christian led by as many as 17 points.
With a balanced attack that also includes senior guard Jared Kulbako and sophomore guard Kelsey Collins, Schenectady Christian will try to knock off Sidney and advance to Saturday's state final against either Section VIII champion Friends Academy of Locust Valley (Nassau County) or Section V champion Campbell-Savona.
"We're just trying to build on the successes of the past," said coach Bowman. "It's exciting to get to the next level.""

false start again?? REALLY??
Subject change:
How about those rookie receivers today?
This is what I mean about coaching. Kendricks didn't even get down field enough to matter if he made the catch or not. This team misses too many opportunities. Disgusting is the word that comes to mind
I hope no one is still expecting to see the Rams in another Monday night game. Not gonna happen.
what frustrates me even more is that I had to write my 1000th post watching this mess.
UGH! How stupid are our offensive tackles!?!
Another false start? You gotta be kidding me. Just about every other drive.
Saffold's hurt now. Great.
Ask yourself this about Saffold being hurt. Will it matter? Saffold's played some awful football this season.
Exactly, so imagine how bad his backup must be.

Most trust and respect me.
What's your usual job back home?
Prior to this deployment, I was the dam safety coordinator for the Colorado-Big Thompson Project in northern Colorado with the Bureau of Reclamation.
Do you have a motto or favorite saying?
"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
What projects are you working on now?
Afghan National Army infrastructure
Where did you graduate from college?
I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Michigan Technological University.
Would you recommend folks seek certification/ licensure in their respective professional fields? Why or why not?
Yes, this world always needs people with integrity and professionalism, and licensure is one good way to help hold the line.
Do you have any hobbies?
MENSA, Order of the Engineer
What types of causes are you involved with?
I volunteer with Realities for Children, a charitable organization dedicated to serving the unmet needs of abused and neglected children.
Of all your awards, which one is your most cherished and why?
My most cherished award is the 16th Military Police Brigade coin. Col. John Chambliss presented my colleague Rigo Farias and me with coins during our construction project oversight at Camp Bucca in southern Iraq. At that time, Col. Chambliss was both a mentor and a role model for me.

Readers respond to "The One-Man Housing Crisis"
This is so sad. I grew up in the area. There were some of the best-built homes in the city. They were reasonably priced and built with pride.
I really don't think renters are the problem. There are plenty of well-maintained rental properties all over the Twin Cities. They are just owned by people and companies who look at the long-term success of that property, not a quick buck (or million).
Koenig should rot in one of these houses he built.
Comment by From the Northside
from St. Anthony
I am a renter of Mr. Paul Koenig, and the things my family has gone through because of his lack of caring as a landlord has been horrific. We have to wash our dishes in the bathtub. Our kitchen sink and dishwasher are all backed up. Everything we put in our fridge freezes, our furnace works when it wants; it's either too cold or way too hot. Our ceiling is separating from the walls—there are cracks in the wall along with mold. Our deck is clearly falling apart.
Not to mention he was supposed to take care of trash removal, as in the lease agreement! Prior to us moving in we did not see trash removal for six weeks. We got mice, gnats, flies—you name it, we got it. Over half of our furniture, important papers, clothes, etc. were non-salvagable due to having to bomb our house. We had to pay for it because Pamiko properties would not.
My son had always been a healthy boy until we moved here. We were promised that things would get fixed and worked around us. We went to court because we withheld rent. Our agreement in court was we pay and he fixes. The whole time he was supposed to fix things he went ghost! We sent him a text telling him we were sending out more of the money, but before we did our neighbors came over scared because their side of the house was going into foreclosure...and to find out he is not the owner listed on their side nor ours!
Why should we give our hard-earned money to him when he doesn't even own the house? We called him out on it, and he told us he was going to evict us. Right after we got off the phone with him, he called our neighbor and offered them our side. Now we will be back in court next week with him.
This is clearly retaliation. He is in over his head because the truth is finally coming out, and the worst part of this is that this isn't just happening in Minneapolis, this is happening in the suburbs as well, and that's what people don't know! We will not give up but hold strong, not just for us but for everyone else who has to live in conditions like ours due to the lack of care by Pamiko properties.
Paul Koenig is a scam artist. It will come to an end. We are going to make sure of that!

Oh my God, that video was priceless. Let's have a rundown, shall we, and let me know if any of you disagree.
It's hard to be tough when:
1. You're fat, balding, and punch like a girl.
2. You're trying to speak, but it's obvious you're out of breath.
3. You attempt to cut a promo and fail at whatever accent you're trying to do.
4. You prove you're not fat by showing a fat gut.
5. You can't write a sentence properly. "Once again, let's see if Steve Wilkos ACCEPT my challenge." It's accepts, not accept. Check your writing before posting a video.

Exercise, Physical Therapy May Help Ease Pain of Arthritis
SATURDAY, Nov. 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Regular exercise and physical therapy may benefit people with hip and knee arthritis, new research suggests.
The study included 206 people with hip and knee osteoarthritis, average age 66, who were divided into two groups. One group received usual care, while the other group had regular exercise, physical therapy or both added to their standard care.
After two years, those who did exercise and/or physical therapy had greater improvements in pain, stiffness and physical function than those who received usual medical care alone, the investigators found.

Fitness May Help Ward Off Depression in Girls. Being in good physical condition likely to help boys avoid the blues too, expert says
By Tara Haelle
HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, Aug. 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The more fit middle-school girls are, the less likely they may be to develop symptoms of depression, according to a recent study.
Although the effect of fitness on depression was small, improvements in fitness may be part of an overall strategy for reducing the risk of depression in middle-schoolers, according to Camilo Ruggero, lead researcher and an assistant professor of psychology at the University of North Texas. Other strategies might include school-based or family therapy, which can both treat and help prevent depression in at-risk kids.

Kayaking along the St. Lawrence Seaway
Jun. 21, 2011
It's a beautiful summer day and I'm paddling my little kayak right down the main channel of the St. Lawrence Seaway. This moment, I have it all to myself--there's a lighthouse just off my bow, and not a big ship in sight.
Travelling the St. Lawrence Seaway

The reversal of the Chicago River
Jun. 20, 2011
More than a century ago, Chicago used a combination of grit, muscle and money to turn around the Chicago River. That move forged an important connection between the Great Lake Michigan and the mighty Mississippi. But it also had some unintended consequences that are coming to a head only now.

UFO activity over Western Australia 5-Sep-2011
Another great video of UFO activity in the sky over Western Australia, this one was filmed in Cooloongup on Monday, 5th September 2011.
Wintess report: Captured Two very Unusual orbs. I uploaded the 2nd one I saw because it was the most strange out of the two. I had my satellite tracker with me so I know what I saw wasn't any satellite orbiting the earth!
Captured In Cooloongup Western Australia
1st one captured in NNW

I weigh 275 lbs and my wife weighs 125. It worked for her (but even still was high compared to measuring/calculating) and for me it just wouldn't work no matter how I tried. I wet my fingers and did it at night when I was most hydrated and everything that it says but no dice. I understand that being 275 lbs is a bit of body fat for it to measure, but when I tape myself and calculate it's around 28% which is hardly above range. I guess my point is that it's worthless.
Not accurate

The differece between using calipers and this is about 15% for me. Don't get it if you have significant muscle mass.
It is inexpensive tool to check your bodyfat
1 人が次のレビューが役に立ったと感じています
Reviewer2219932により Apr 14, 2008 に掲載
It works OK, it calculates the bodyfat a little bit higher than I was expected but since I am using only that tool I can see that my bodyfat decreases with the time(I have been doing intensive cardio the last three months). I believe the micro chip that is inside calculates wrong it shows me fat :-)) (the forth setting) and I am skinny guy, ectomorph with tiny bones and hard gainer. That is OK, as long as the percentage is decreasing. It has that error probably because I gained 10 pounds the last year and a half (weight lifting) but I still look skinny. p.s. If you measure with wet hands it will show you less percentage of bodyfat. I would recommend it as an inexpensive tool to check for any fluctuations in the amount of the bodyfat.

Yeah, Anthony Weiner is a dumbstupid and a victim of "testosterone poisoning" (whatever that means), but one thing is for certain: he should not resign. The Democratic leadership, however, disagrees.
Top Democratic leaders urged U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign on Saturday, calling the disgraced Democrat's actions "indefensible" after admitting sending graphic photos to women online.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Steve Israel, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, released statements within minutes of each other Saturday.
If it turns out that Weiner had sexual communications with an underage girl, okay. Resign. I'll help shove him out the door if I need to. But for now, don't cave in to the demands of a pack of family values hypocrites. Grow some spine, Democrats.
Adding... Weiner is taking a leave of absence:
Shortly after the calls for resignation were delivered, reports emerged that Weiner was, indeed, checking into a treatment center -- though where and for what precisely (depression? addiction?) wasn't immediately clear.
Weiner's office put out a statement confirming those reports and announcing that he had requested a "short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well."

"Texas Yankee"
Stephen Swienton's Weblog
My New Location: stephen.swienton.com
I have finally gotten off my a$$ and have my personal site up and running. It is a work in progress, but I think it's a great start after not posting for over a year :)
DevDays Upon Me
Whew - this has been a long and busy week for me.
WPT Season 2
For my fellow Poker fanatics, or those curious about all the hoopla - the Second Season of the World Poker Tour starts tonight on the Travel Channel!
Been a while...
It's been 8 months since I last posted and I'm almost embarrassed to blog again - it's been so long! My blogging absence has been mainly due to lack of time, with "Time Management" being a subject I hope to post about soon.
Tech-Ed Day 1 Part II: 3 days late..
After Don Box's WS presentation it was time for lunch. I got to eat with Stephen and Ruth Walthers and Julie Lerman! Of course, I knew all about these three, but hadn't yet had the opportunity to meet them. I chatted with Stephen about the CSK 1.0 and with Julie and Ruth about INETA and my involvement with the FWDNUG. BTW: The Chocolate Cake at lunch sucked!
Tech-Ed Day 1 Part 1: 2 days late..
So, I *finally* found some free time to get around to my poor, neglected Blog. It's been hard for me to find the time to blog as my free net time has been spent working on the issues that *conveniently* popped up at my day job - ack! But, finally here it is:
I'm going to Tech-Ed!
At the last minute I've gotten the chance to attend Tech-Ed. Besides the obvious benefits of attending Tech-Ed - I'd go into depression (ok, not quite that bad) at the thought of missing out on this opportunity to attend such a huge Microsoft Event that's happening in the same city that I live it. Thankfully, now I won't have to spend the entire week moaping around because everyone else is having fun while I'm slaving away at work.
ASPInsiders Details Released
I was selected back in February (2003) to serve on the Board for the soon to be launched ASPInsiders. We just released the FAQ tonight and it's nice to finally be able to speak about the details of the group publicly.
YES, Microsoft Supports the Community.
I recently (
4/24/03) went to the Windows Server 2003/VS.NET 2003 Launch in . This event was different for me than past Microsoft Launch events that I've been to as this time I wasn't just an attendee, but an exhibitor as well. I'm currently the Vice President of the Fort Worth DOT Net Users Group (FWDNUG) and the booth space was offered to the FWDNUG gratis courtesy of the Microsoft South Central District. Actually, Fort Worth Helena Kjellander-Valentin (South Central District Field Marketing Specialist and the best Microsoft Events Coordinator), emailed Greg Kane(FWDNUG President) and myself out of the blue and offered the space to us. Greg and I jumped at the chance for such good exposure and we were not disappointed. The launch ended up with ~750 attendees and we signed up 50+ new users to the FWDNUG database, with many more promising to sign-up later via our website. Our average meeting size is around 20-30 people and we're excited at the chance of doubling our membership size. Many attendees commented that they did not know there was a Fort Worth Users Group and they were glad to know they did not have to make the long drive to the Dallas Dot NET Users group any longer. I'd rate the launch a qualified success for the FWDNUG– all thanks to the community building efforts of Microsoft. If only I wasn't ineligible for the prizes due to my status as an "exhibitor". Oh well, you can't win them all J
What the heck is a "Texas Yankee" anyways?
It's been quite some time now since Scott W. first introduced .NETWeblogs, and yet here I am just now making my first official Blog entry. You have to understand me a little better to understand why it has taken me so long to participate in the blogging phenomenon. I have this thing (ok, it's called a personality fault) where I rebel against new, trendy ideas. For example, I refused to initially go see the movie The Matrix (can't believe I even admit that publicly!) because everyone was saying how good it was and I thought the trailer looked too fake. Of course, that's before I wised up, watched it and realized it was set in a fake world and is the greatest Sci-Fi flick since Star Wars. I don't know why I'm like this – I figure I just don't like new things that everyone thinks is "all the rage" being pushed down my throat. I guess the same thing happened with the Blog Craze – everyone was doing it and I wasn't going to be one of those "people". Well, I started reading all my friends Blogs and recognized that I was being pigheaded again.

WASHINGTON – The Cubs are open for business, planning to trade away 40 percent of their rotation and willing to listen to just about any idea.
What about Justin Ruggiano? This guy could be getting hot at the right time, feeling good after a hamstring strain sidelined him for a month.
Ruggiano jumpstarted the Cubs in a 7-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on the Fourth of July. He went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI in front of 41,274 at Nationals Park. A contending team looking for outfield help might take notice.
[RELATED - Frustrated Jason Hammel calls out Cubs over pitch-count limits]
The rumors are flying at a time when the Cubs (38-46) are actually playing pretty good. It won't change the equation for the front office, but this team has gone 25-20 since the middle of May.
"It's just something that's hearsay, really, right now," Ruggiano said. "Obviously, we all kind of know it's more than likely going to happen. But I think we're all enjoying the company of each other right now. We're having a good time playing baseball together, and that's really all that matters for right now.
"This is a business, things happen and you can't really control it. Right now, for the time being, we're just enjoying each other as teammates and controlling what we can control."
Ruggiano can play all over the outfield and hit left-handed pitching. He hammered one ball off a billboard atop the Green Monster, putting up a career-high five RBI in Wednesday's 16-9 win over the Boston Red Sox. He's hitting .271 with four homers and 17 RBI in 44 games.
[RELATED - Could Arrieta have changed trade-deadline conversation?]
"I have no idea what could happen," Ruggiano said. "I'm here right now, and I'm enjoying it.
"All the rumors – we'll let you guys (in the media) handle that and we'll take care of what we have to do."

My sister, brother and I each had one of these hampster homes for our hampsters. We used to line them up so they looked like a train. The hampsters seem to really like their home. They loved the little exercise wheels. It was fun to watch them run and run and run and go nowhere!

Cons: n/a

Great for pet mice too
posted 8 years ago
It's great if you have a pet mouse too. My pet mouse, stewart Little loves his because it's perfact size for him. It's nice too because it comes with a little name tag that you can write your pets name on & attach to their cage. The door is wonderful too because it closes tightly so that hampsters or mice can not climb up on it & push it open.
Pros: Great for pet mice
Cons: A little too small

Did you?
Not a great choice
posted 8 years ago
I bought this for my daughters first hamster and it turned out to be not worth the money. The door sometimes wouldnt latch right so needless to say the little guy got away a couple of times. The cage allowed for litter to be kicked outside of the pan regularly and that made for a lot of clean up several times daily. We switched to an aquarium after a couple of more mistakes and life is better now.
Pros: It was inexpensive
Cons: It was very messy

Path to Recovery: A Libertarian Perspective on Economic Crisis
In your statements, you have advocated tax cuts over government spending as a policy instrument for economic stimulus. Could you explain why tax cuts would be more efficient?
I would not use the words "more efficient," but I will come back to that. My view is that spending increases would certainly make sense if there were projects available to the government that clearly had benefits in excess of costs. Standard examples would be bridges that are falling down and that need to be repaired. I completely accept that there must be some projects out there that the government needs to do, and there are clearly some parts of the interstate highway system that are in need of repair. However, I am skeptical that there is anything remotely near to US$500 billion of projects that make sense on standard cost-benefit terms, which the government would want to fund independent of the recession.
Now, if you use the standard Keynesian justification that government expenditure improves the economy, government spending is valid even it is totally wasteful--even it is digging ditches and filling it back up. Nothing in the model assumes that those expenditures are, or requires those expenditures to be, somehow productive. Instead, any kind of expenditure "works."
Yet, it seems very, very unlikely that wasteful government spending could make sense in the long run. Now in the very short run, it might make some sense under some assumptions, but I think those assumptions are not so trivial. In the long run, we do not want to have devoted much government effort to digging ditches and filling them back up. That is crowding out, taking resources away from other, more productive uses of the economy and the government budget. If one argues that we could easily create government projects, even projects of questionable cost-benefit value that would be purely temporary and would get the economy going again--either in jumpstarting the economy away from recession or moving it toward full employment--and if one states that we could eliminate these once they were no longer needed for stimulus purposes, there would need to be a rational argument for that.
My assessment is that many allegedly short-term stimulus measures are still with us decades or even centuries later. Therefore, at a minimum, one should think both about the long-run efficiency effects of government purchases and not just about their short-run stimulus impacts. So, is there a way to try to stimulate the economy without taking the risk that we embark on some ill-conceived government expenditure projects? The answer is yes, we can cut taxes. In the standard Keynesian model, tax cuts are effective at stimulating private demand, creating either more consumer demand or more investment demand. We could certainly use more tax cuts.
Now, the conclusion in the standard model is that one gets a bigger "bang for the buck" with government expenditures--for a given size increase in the deficit, there is a larger effect on output from expenditure increases than from tax cuts. This effect is the government purchase multiplier, which is larger than the tax cut multiplier. The Keynesian model is relatively narrow, and there are other factors that play a role in determining what is more effective. In particular, if you think about the efficiency effects of lower taxes, then that might cause taxes to be more beneficial than government spending over a medium or longer-term horizon, even if not in the short run. Existing evidence suggests that tax cuts also have a large multiplier effect in stimulating output, and government purchases are somewhat more modest. Indeed, the evidence from the tax cut multiplier does not come from some right-wing hyena. It comes from Christie Romer, who is the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under Obama, and should not be ignored.
Now there may be some other factors too, but at a minimum, the tax cut view seems completely logical and consistent. …

Wanted to test stuff and to draw Jinx.
So I did both in one picture.
So I did both in one picture.
i wish i was that chair omg yes
loli jinx!? i love it
Wanna see more from Naked Jinx
Me too... Me too... Naked Jinx is the best Jinx.
nice work! what were you testing?
Well, just stuff all around. One main thing I wanted to train was drawing eyes, since I am often not that happy with the way I draw them. Next I wanted to play around with lineart a bit, but now that I look at it, maybe I overdid it with the thickness a bit.
nah i think the line thickness is good and your eyes turned out well i'm quite bad at eyes and it's deffinetly something i need to practice with. usually it's the size that confuses me, or worst of all they come out looking like they've got a lazy wandering eye lol. good work on Jinx though
Il give it a one handed clap , nice work love the shadowing and eyes
She best be careful or she'll get a splinter where the sun don't shine.

Gaming laptops are something that most people are quick to reject as out of their price range. There is a lot of sense in this train of thought. We know that laptop components are inherently lower performing than their desktop counterparts, and significantly more expensive. So the idea of spending more money for less powerful components seems like a bad trade off for the added gains of portability for many gamers.
However, we also seem to be in a bit of a plateau as far as generation-to-generation performance gain with desktop components. Midrange processors from a few generations ago are still more than capable of playing the vast majority of games, and even lower-end modern GPUs are able to game at 1080p.
So maybe it's time to take another look at the sub-$1000 gaming notebook options, and that's exactly what we are doing today with the Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro Black Edition.
The Aspire V Nitro is equipped with fairly modest components when compared to what most people think of gaming laptops as. Where machines such as the MSI GT70 Dominator or ASUS G751 seem to take the kitchen sink approach towards mobile gaming machines, The Aspire V is a more carefully balanced option.
|Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro Black Edition
|Intel Core i7-4720HQ 2.6 GHz
|15.6" 1920x1080
|Graphics Card
|1 TB Hard Drive
|Dimensions (W x D x H)
|15.34" x 10.14" x 0.86" - 0.94"
|5.29 lbs.
Anchored by an Intel Core i7-4720HQ and a GTX 960M, the Aspire V Nitro isn't trying to reach to the top stack of mobile performance. A 15.6" display along with 8GB of RAM, and a single 1TB spindle drive are all logical choices for a machine aimed towards gaming on a budget.
While it's difficult for us to recommend that you buy any machine without an SSD these days, a 1TB drive is great for game storage on a machine like there. There are also other configurations optiosn which add SATA M.2 SSDs alongside the 1TB drive, and we managed to open up our sample and put an SSD in ourselves with little pain.

Cortana for Android Invite-Only Beta Launches

When it graduated from high school, Microsoft was voted "least likely to have an open relationship with itself". Well who's laughing now, member of the Yearbook Committee? You thought you were so clever, sitting in the back of the late bus for students in extra-curricular activities, giggling as you doodled in your Five Star binder. Even though they always hogged the Windows seat, maybe they would have opened it up for a little fresh air in the Summer time had you taken the time to ask.

While Cortana is first and foremost a Windows 10 feature, it will appear on iOS and Android as well. Peter Bright of Ars Technica got in on the pre-release, invite-only beta and walked through the features. He notes that, while many have complained about crashes, his experienced wasn't marred with stability issues. On the other hand, because Cortana is not as deeply integrated into the operating system, despite the laundry list of permissions it requests, he expects that most users looking for a digital assistant will look to Google Now on their Android devices, even if they use Cortana on Windows 10.
Image Credit: Ars Technica
There really wasn't a whole lot of note in the article though, at least in my opinion. There are a few interesting screenshots, but it basically looks like someone grafted the Cortana fly-out menu from Windows 10 onto a fullscreen mobile device. Even though I already saw the similarities in the Windows 10 Technical Previews, it is funny to see it so explicit.
No release date has been set for Cortana on Android or iOS.
TSMC Plans 10nm, 7nm, and "Very Steep" Ramping of 16nm.
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile | July 19, 2015 - 06:59 AM | Scott Michaud

Getting smaller features allows a chip designer to create products that are faster, cheaper, and consume less power. Years ago, most of them had their own production facilities but that is getting rare. IBM has just finished selling its manufacturing off to GlobalFoundries, which was spun out of AMD when it divested from fabrication in 2009. Texas Instruments, on the other hand, decided that they would continue manufacturing but get out of the chip design business. Intel and Samsung are arguably the last two players with a strong commitment to both sides of the "let's make a chip" coin.
So where do you these chip designers go? TSMC is the name that comes up most. Any given discrete GPU in the last several years has probably been produced there, along with several CPUs and SoCs from a variety of fabless semiconductor companies.
Several years ago, when the GeForce 600-series launched, TSMC's 28nm line led to shortages, which led to GPUs remaining out of stock for quite some time. Since then, 28nm has been the stable work horse for countless high-performance products. Recent chips have been huge, physically, thanks to how mature the process has become granting fewer defects. The designers are anxious to get on smaller processes, though.
In a conference call at 2 AM (EDT) on Thursday, which is 2 PM in Taiwan, Mark Liu of TSMC announced that "the ramping of our 16 nanometer will be very steep, even steeper than our 20nm". By that, they mean this year. Hopefully this translates to production that could be used for GPUs and CPUs early, as AMD needs it to launch their Zen CPU architecture in 2016, as early in that year as possible. Graphics cards have also been on that technology for over three years. It's time.
Also interesting is how TSMC believes that they can hit 10nm by the end of 2016. If so, this might put them ahead of Intel. That said, Intel was also confident that they could reach 10nm by the end of 2016, right until they announced Kaby Lake a few days ago. We will need to see if it pans out. If it does, competitors could actually beat Intel to the market at that feature size -- although that could end up being mobile SoCs and other integrated circuits that are uninteresting for the PC market.
Following the announcement from IBM Research, 7nm was also mentioned in TSMC's call. Apparently they expect to start qualifying in Q1 2017. That does not provide an estimate for production but, if their 10nm schedule is both accurate and also representative of 7nm, that would production somewhere in 2018. Note that I just speculated on an if of an if of a speculation, so take that with a mine of salt. There is probably a very good reason that this date wasn't mentioned in the call.
Back to the 16nm discussion, what are you hoping for most? New GPUs from NVIDIA, new GPUs from AMD, a new generation of mobile SoCs, or the launch of AMD's new CPU architecture? This should make for a highly entertaining comments section on a Sunday morning, don't you agree?
What's hot in the mobile segment right now

Wondering what is hot in the mobile world right now? Well, you can see what The Tech Report thinks are the best mobile computing devices in their latest round up right here. They have four recommended tablets, ranging from the low cost Google Nexus 7 which is still a hit after years on the market to the much more expensive and brand new iPad Air 2. Of the convertibles they recommend, two happen to be Surface machines from Microsoft and they split up their laptop recommendations between those for general usage and two designed specifically for gaming. Rounding out the list are four phones and a look at what is coming down the pipeline in the near future; what you won't find are any Chromebooks.
"In this edition of our mobile staff picks, we chose our favorites from the current cream of the crop in tablets, convertibles, laptops, and phones."

OnePlus 2 Has Been Rolling Out Announcements Slowly

Tagged: vulkan, snapdragon 810, opengl es 3.1, oneplus 2, oneplus
OnePlus is a Chinese smartphone company founded by Pete Lau, formerly the Vice President at Oppo. Their first phone was basically invite-only for most of its lifespan, but that was justified for a flagship-quality phone at $299 USD. The OnePlus One was first available in April 2014. Their follow-up is the OnePlus 2, go figure, which will be formally announced on July 27th.
Several announcements lead up to that date, though. One day, OnePlus stated that the announcement will be done in VR, and they are selling Google Cardboard for "free" outside of the $5 shipping fee. Another day, they announced that the price will be "under $450 USD". Today, they announced that the OnePlus Two will have 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, matching the capacity of the ASUS ZenPhone 2. It will also contain the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which should be able to support OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan (whenever that arrives).
It makes you wonder what's left for July 27th, besides the release date. My guess is that day.
Checking out the new Kindle Paperwhite

The insides of the third generation Kindle Paperwhite match the Voyage, a Freescale i.MX6 SoloLite 1GHz chip, as do the outsides with a new 300ppi screen. Connectivity has been expanded to Wi-Fi as well as an available 3G model and there is also a brand new font called Bookerly. If you are in need of an eReader and are not in Canada so that you can get the Tegra 4 powered Kobo Arc 7, you should head over to Techgage and see if the new improve Paperwhite is the solution you should chose.
"Amazon has just revealed its third-gen Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, and while it doesn't offer a substantial upgrade over the previous model, it does iterate on what was already a fantastic device. With a 300 ppi screen and brand-new Bookerly font at-the-ready, there's not much to dislike with this e-reader."

Samsung Publishes Battery Enhancement Tech with Silicon
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | June 26, 2015 - 04:53 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Samsung, battery
When I was in my Physics program, there was a running joke that the word "Nano" should be a red flag when reading research papers. This one has graphene and nanoparticles, but it lacks quantum dots and it looks privately funded by a company, so we might be good. Kidding aside, while I have little experience with battery technology, they claim to have surrounded silicon anodes for lithium batteries with a layer of graphene.

This addition of graphene is said to counteract an issue where silicon expands as it is used and recharged. The paper, which again is the first source that I have seen discuss this issue, says that other attempts at using silicon adds vacant space around the anode for future growth. If you can keep the material at the same volume over its lifespan, you will be able to store more electricity in smaller devices. I wonder why Samsung would want something like that...

|Alexandru Voica works for Imagination Technologies. His background includes research in computer graphics at the School of Advanced Studies Sant'Anna in Pisa and a brief stint as a CPU engineer, working on several high-profile 32-bit processors used in many mobile and embedded devices today. You can follow Alex on Twitter @alexvoica.
Some months ago my colleague Rys Sommefeldt wrote an article offering his (deeply) technical perspective on how a chip gets made, from R&D to manufacturing. While his bildungsroman production covers a lot of the engineering details behind silicon production, it is light on the business side of things; and that is a good thing because it gives me opportunity to steal some of his spotlight!
This article will give you a breakdown of the IP licensing model, describing the major players and the relationships between them. It is not designed to be a complete guide by any means and some parts might already sound familiar, but I hope it is a comprehensive overview that can be used by anyone who is new to product manufacturing in general.
The diagram below offers an analysis of the main categories of companies involved in the semiconductor food chain. Although I'm going to attempt to paint a broad picture, I will mainly offer examples based on the ecosystem formed around Imagination (since that is what I know best).
A simplified view of the manufacturing chain
Let's work our way from left to right.
IP vendors
Traditionally, these are the companies that design and sell silicon IP. ARM and Imagination Technologies are perhaps the most renowned for their sub-brands: Cortex CPU + Mali GPU and MIPS CPU + PowerVR GPU, respectively.
Given the rapid evolution of the semiconductor market, such companies continue to evolve their business models beyond point solutions to become one-stop shops that offer more than for a wide variety of IP cores and platforms, comprising CPUs, graphics, video, connectivity, cloud software and more.

Rumor: 2015 Moto G to Feature Snapdragon 410 with LTE
Subject: Mobile | June 22, 2015 - 11:43 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: snapdragon 410, smartphone, rumor, Moto G, LTE, lollipop, Android
9to5google is reporting specs of the upcoming Moto G refresh, and it looks like the phone will carry over the internals of the current Moto E with a Snapdragon 410 SoC, and add an improved 13MP camera.
The current Moto G has been a favorite for many as a low-cost unlocked option (and one that runs mostly stock Android), and the adoption of the faster SoC with integrated (Cat 4) LTE baseband is a necessary move to update a device that in its current iteration is limited to 3G data speeds. It is interesting that the SoC would only match that of the $149 2015 Moto E (reviewed here), but it makes sense from a financial standpoint if the rumored Moto G is to be sold at or below its current $179 price point.
There is certainly stiff competition in the midrange smartphone market, bolstered considerably by the recently released ASUS Zenfone 2 (reviewed here as well) which starts at $199 unlocked; and with devices like the new Zenfone offering full 1080p screens the rumored choice of the Moto G's existing 5-inch 720p screen returning in 2015 might be another indication that this new phone will feature a very aggressive price.
The alleged 2015 Moto G photo (image credit: 9to5google)
The phone is also rumored to ship with Android 5.1.1, which would carry on the recent tradition of Motorola phones running the latest versions of Android. All of this is unconfirmed information based on leaks or course, but regardless of its final form more options are always welcome in the $200-and-under unlocked phone space - and this year is shaping up to be a good one for consumers.
Qualcomm's GPU History
Despite its market dominance, Qualcomm may be one of the least known contenders in the battle for the mobile space. While players like Apple, Samsung, and even NVIDIA are often cited as the most exciting and most revolutionary, none come close to the sheer sales, breadth of technology, and market share that Qualcomm occupies. Brands like Krait and Snapdragon have helped push the company into the top 3 semiconductor companies in the world, following only Intel and Samsung.
Founded in July 1985, seven industry veterans came together in the den of Dr. Irwin Jacobs' San Diego home to discuss an idea. They wanted to build "Quality Communications" (thus the name Qualcomm) and outlined a plan that evolved into one of the telecommunications industry's great start-up success stories.
Though Qualcomm sold its own handset business to Kyocera in 1999, many of today's most popular mobile devices are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon mobile chipsets with integrated CPU, GPU, DSP, multimedia CODECs, power management, baseband logic and more. In fact the typical "chipset" from Qualcomm encompasses up to 20 different chips of different functions besides just the main application processor. If you are an owner of a Galaxy Note 4, Motorola Droid Turbo, Nexus 6, or Samsung Galaxy S5, then you are most likely a user of one of Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipsets.
Qualcomm's GPU History
Before 2006, the mobile GPU as we know it today was largely unnecessary. Feature phones and "dumb" phones were still the large majority of the market with smartphones and mobile tablets still in the early stages of development. At this point all the visual data being presented on the screen, whether on a small monochrome screen or with the color of a PDA, was being drawn through a software renderer running on traditional CPU cores.
But by 2007, the first fixed-function, OpenGL ES 1.0 class of GPUs started shipping in mobile devices. These dedicated graphics processors were originally focused on drawing and updating the user interface on smartphones and personal data devices. Eventually these graphics units were used for what would be considered the most basic gaming tasks.

PFFFT. As if.
What's up, you beautiful people~?! I have some sort of off-topic stuff real quick, then to the contest updates I will proceed, kay? Kay. To start, I have absolutely no idea how I became the 'Tyrant' and you all are my minions, but I find it hilarious and am completely blown away at how awesome you guys are. :'D So, I just want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you!
So sexy~
Not as sexy as you all, of course
So! Today is the official first day of our little Sonnet Contest, and boy, do we have a great turn out for contestants! Here is the list of minions that are competing for their chunk of the prize points:
No particular order was given to this list of minions, because I'm just too lazy to alphabetize them ene If you see your name and really hate me for it, please let me know and I'll take you off of the contestants list. If you -don't- see your name and you wish you did, too bad! Hmhm~ just kidding x3 If you want to be added to the contestants list, just let me know.
Now, my gracious minions, I have acquired a couple of you as Boss-Minions, a.k.a BM's or my judges. These deviants names will not be announced until near the deadline so that you cannot attempt to sway them with tempting offers e-e that's just not FUCKING bueno, you hear?! Of course you do. That would also means that WHOEVER YOU ARE you should KEEP YOUR MOUTH IN THE 'CLOSED' POSITION. Or I'll break your fingers while beating you with a live baby octopus. Try me e-e I will fuck you up, dude. Hmhm~ x3 I -would- invite them to be contributors of the group, same as the highest point donor, BUT the FOUNDER of THIS group, that one guy who I haven't heard from in a long time, restricted that from us co-founders for some reason. Sorry guys ono Guess I'll have to think of something else for you. In the meantime, the prize pool is still sitting on a cool 155 points. I'm currently figuring out a fair way to divide those points among 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners. Or the only winner and the 1st and 2nd losers. Ha. Losers. But, anybody who still has a spare point or two or two hundred laying around should -totally- make my day and donate to the prize pool. You don't think that you'll get nothing for donating do you?! Oh, minions, we have much to teach each other! Everybody who donates to the prize pool will get a feature on a blog written by me! You'll just have to trust that that -IS-, in fact, a good thing. Hell, I wish somebody would write about me to over 4000 deviants at once. That'd be cool as a cucumber in ice water in the winter. So damn cool. Also, I understand that there may be a problem with submitting directly to the Sonnet Contest folder. Unfortunately, I am retarded <-- I do that while staring at people, and I don't know how to fix this, so I call upon my Tech-Minions to help if possible
Off topic again, when I call you all 'Minions' I think of those little capsule looking dudes from Despicable Me. I love those guys~ x3
Off topic again, is anybody offended by my use of profanity? Cause apparently one person was on the previous journal and I felt bad that they felt they had to leave because of it... It maaaay be a little stupid to ask at the end of a journal I just used profane language in, but it's not really directed -at- anybody in particular. They're supposed to be humorous little... adjectives. If the general consensus is you hate my nasty-ass, dirty whore of a mouth, I will chew some trident and clean it till it's as clean as the inside of a bottle of germ-x... which I can imagine is probably, -really- fucking clean. Pffft. I fail at this.
Anywhore, that's all I've got for you all now. Remember: Don't want to be in the contestant list, tell me. Same if you -want- to be on it. Today is the first day of the contest and you have until NOVEMBER 8th 2012 to submit your work. But you're smart minions. You knew that already Also, any spare points you have would be a great addition to our prize pool on my page and finally, if you mix together a Pegasus and a Unicorn, you get a Pegacorn.
Questions/Comments are always welcome here, at the group, or my page! Alright, you sexy little fuckers! Here we go! Viva la Revolution!
Your always loving-because-he-has-to-be Tyrant
Okay, you little minions e-e I'm damn proud of you. It hasn't even been a whole 24 hours into the contest and you sexy fuckers are already giving me contest submissions. Badass. I love you guys. So, since I still have not resolved the folder thing, just submit them to the "Shakespearian" folder and I will manually move them to the contest folder. Just be sure to label it as "Open-Mic-Poetry Sonnet Contest" in the artist comments so that I'll know which one to move. Also, I'd like to update the prize pool. It has now exceeded 200 points. You greedy minions, you. Cheers, my little ones, and best of luck to you all!
On A More Serious Note... by Open-Mic-PoetryWatch

I tried submitting an entry, but I got the "This would exceed the 1 deviation per 7 days requirement." ...This is the first thing I've written or submitted in weeks, so I'm not sure why I'd get that error. Is there a way around it? I'd really love to be a part of this contest.
Actually, disregard this. I'm an idiot. My DA didn't update for 10 minutes (for some reason?) to let me know I had already submitted. So sorry for the confusion!
Are we allowed to submit more than one poem to the contest? I wasn't planning on it, but something... pretty sad happened. And I've been writing my teary little heart out. Until I cry. Whence I stop, 'cause I can't see.
Unless the clock on this computer is waaaayyyy off, we still have four days, right?
Unless the clock on this computer is waaaayyyy off, we still have four days, right?
Indeed we do have four days left. And I am sorry to hear you are going through troubling times ono If you remove your first submission from the contest, I will allow you to submit one that you believe to be better. Please abide by this, and that is all.
Aaaaaaaalrighty |D
I'll probably just leave my first one in, then. A new one shouldn't be much better, if at all.
