This is the story about a guy (not necessarily an actual hacker but the story was titled that way) who's computer got stolen. On the video he explain all he did to track it down and how he finally found it, got it back.
NSFW because of repeated use of the F-word, one instance of mother-trucker and a few pictures of some guy, not explicit but with very little clothing, enough to get you in trouble at the office. That said:
Don't steal a hackers computer
Have to admire the determination (stubbornness?) of this guy.

A few responses. Much of the Chinese report deals with issues that are just as prevalent in China – poverty, health, etc.
"…the U.S. in fact imposes fairly strict restriction on cyberspace…. and impos[es] strict restriction within its territory."
But nowhere in the report are these assertions proved or substantiated.
"Unemployment rate in the United States has been stubbornly high."
Yeah; there's been a recession. Not sure if "stubbornly high" unemployment is a human rights issue. Were the "ant tribes" mentioned in the US report on China?
Proportion of American people living in poverty has risen to a record high.
Not anything to be proud of, but there has been a recession. There are also ample support resources for those who lose jobs or otherwise fall on hard times.
"The number of American people without health insurance increased progressively every year."
China doesn't have a social security safety net, does it?
"Racial discrimination, deep-seated in the United States, has permeated every aspect of social life."
If you say so. Discrimination is in the eye of the beholder. A history of discrimination leads some to suspect it at all times, and therefore claim it happens to them. It is also a quick way to elicit sympathy. Discrimination is nowhere near what it once was in the US. Barack Obama was elected president.
"The health care for African-American people is worrisome."
Ha! "Worrisome"? Chinese are tremendously racist. Please don't try to say you are "worried."
"Immigrants' rights and interests are not guaranteed. Lawmakers in the Arizona Senate in April 2010 passed a bill to curb illegal immigration."
The assertion in the first sentence is not supported by the second.
And since when does China guarantee anyone's "rights and interests"?
The next crisis in the world will come from china and nit from the western world and this mainly due to the massive credit expansion which they have done over Last tow years despite of aggressive rate hike by central bank property prices continue to move northwards despite rising production of metals and additional capacities coming into streamline and higher interest rate commodity imports still move up and prices too are moving up... There is bubble formation in Chinese real estate sector and not only there I see with rising cost of capital whoever in china is stocking commodity at these rates only u.s. QE3 can save them brace yourself for sharp decline in commodities prices this trade deficit is a beginning of signs of dragon slowing down and regulators may have to deliberately slowdown and this is going to cause very bad spell for commodities........... Brace your self for something which is inevitable I.e crisis from china".................
I am wondering why a country like the US with massive unemployment and skyrocketing debt still find it funny to poke noses at someone else affair.
I think China should stick with creating self-interest international awards, instead of writing 'dueling human rights reports' against nations they have issues with regarding the subject matter!
China was willing to create the "Confucius Peace Prize" when they became upset at Norway for giving their "Nobel Peace Prize" to dissident Liu Xiaobo in 2010!
So here is a suggestion, why not also create the international "Chinese Human Rights Award" to really show those pesky Americans, as China did those pesky Norwegians, a thing or two about interfering against China's intact & outstanding record on human rights!
I to am wondering why a nation like China keeps stating that they practice a 'non-interference policy' of the internal affairs of other nations, yet still finds time to send guns, anti-riot gear, and ammunition to African nations and dictators like Mugabe of Zimbabwe to repress their citizens with CCP government assistance! Funny how China sounds like a bunch of hypocrites on their 'non-interference policies' 'eh Jack?
China's "policy of non-interference" doesn't exist. Of course they interfere; they just don't ask for improvements, or legitimacy or responsibility. China could not care less if a nation's pro-democracy activists are hounded, beaten, or imprisoned; China does the same! Chinese intereference comes in the name of securing energy resources for China - an important strategic objective that is imperative for continued growth. By comparison, asking another nation to improve human rights isn't important to China. Rule of law, individual freedoms,etc, are alien concepts, so China cannot be expected to press for them.
If China's anticorruption crusade is working so well in cleaning up the Communist party, why is Beijing worried that some think that the campaign is really just a struggle for political power?
A trio of recent repressive actions by the Chinese party-state illustrates how far Beijing is willing to go to snuff out dissent.
Many observers now wonder whether the recent hammering of China's stocks and currency will have political fallout for Communist Party leaders. Not likely, writes Russell Leigh Moses.
The economy may eclipse politics as a concern for Beijing in 2016, but in China the two are always closely intertwined. CRT analyst Russell Leigh Moses outlines three major political questions that will loom over China in the months to come.
The conviction -- and disbarment -- of prominent human rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang sends a stern warning to other lawyers and to other citizens who speak out against Communist Party policy.

Just a month after welcoming son Axl Jack, Fergie showed off her sexy post-baby body on date night with husband Josh Duhamel at L.A. hotspot Hakkasan on Wednesday.
The new parents were "laughing and in great spirits," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Before indulging in signature dishes like dim sum, roasted silver cod with Champagne, grilled Chilean sea bass with chinese honey, Sanpei corn-fed chicken claypot and macaroons for dessert, Fergie, 38, and Duhamel, 40, took a moment to say grace.
Wearing black skinny jeans and a white blazer, the singer looked "amazing and super fit," the source adds.
The couple recently introduced their bright-eyed boy to the world, sharing a photo of the infant on Twitter.

The next step depends on what you call Backed Up.
If your backup was done with Time Machine, then have the external drive connected to the Mac while you install
When you get to the question about having data to transfer from Another Mac or a Time Machine backup or anywhere else, choose Time Machine.
From that point on, just follow the instructions.
If your backup was just you copying files from the internal to the external, the procedure is different.
Once OS X is up and running on the internal, connect the external drive and just drag and drop the CONTENTS of your backed up folders into the corresponding folders on the internal.
For example: If you copied the entire Documents folder from internal to external, find the Documents folder on the new external and open it. Now open the Documents folder on the external and drag the contents from one to the other. Do NOT drag the entire folder, just the contents.
You should be able to just replace the iTunes folder and the iPhoto folder by, in this case, dragging the whole folder onto the internal.
If your Backup was done with 3rd party software, the install OS X, and the 3rd party software and follow their instructions on how to restore
Hope that lot helps some
I recently got a new mac after my old mac died. Before the old one crashed I backed up my data on an external hardrive. I would like to transfer the data from the external hardrive onto my new computer, but I'm not sure how to do so. Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot for any advise

Liverpool psychology helps bring peace to European football
'Low impact' policing is the key to overcoming 'hooliganism' at major international football tournaments, according to ESRC-funded research.
It found that while preventing known troublemakers from travelling is important, the way to foster incident-free events is a 'low profile', friendly-but-firm police presence, and dealing with fans on the basis of their behaviour not their reputation.
The study, led by Dr Clifford Stott and Dr Otto Adang of the University of Liverpool School of Psychology, analysed the impact of police tactics on levels of hooliganism at Euro 2004 - the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) championships held in Portugal in June and July of last year.
Researchers included a team of observers from the Portuguese Police Academy and the Universities of Coimbra, Oporto and Lisbon.
Their report shows that when England supporters are treated from the outset as fans rather than 'hooligans', they see themselves as on the same side as the police, sharing the same interest in preventing violence.
Faced with this 'low profile' policing approach, ordinary fans are more likely to oppose trouble among other supporters through 'self-policing', and to regard themselves as friends with fans from other nations.
The findings give a definite 'thumbs up' to the 'low profile' tactics adopted by Portugal's Public Security Police (PSP), in line with advice given to the force by the Liverpool psychologists before the tournament.
If police were visible and the risk of trouble was thought to be normal, the proportion of uniformed officers visible in the crowd was on average only four per every 100 fans.
Where police were present, they were in standard uniforms rather than full riot gear, and were used simply to monitor fan behaviour. Riot police were positioned close by but deliberately out of sight. They could, however, be quickly on hand if needed.
Extensive use was also made of plainclothes police, deployed wherever fans gathered in large numbers.
Dr Stott said: "Importantly, during Euro 2004 there were almost no incidents of disorder recorded during our observations in areas controlled by the PSP.
"In spite of a low visible police presence, incidents with the potential to escalate were responded to quickly and appropriately, and clear limits of behaviour were established which ensured that situations quickly calmed.
"In most of the rare cases where something did occur, interventions were rapid but with very low impact, and most fans didn't even notice that an arrest had been made."
Preventing known troublemakers from travelling to Portugal was another important factor, says the report, along with initiatives developed by visiting police forces, fan organisations and British Embassy staff.
Even so, it was clear that individuals known as 'hooligans' or acting as such were present. The Liverpool theories on avoiding trouble are strengthened by the two major incidents which did occur in Albufeira - a town controlled by Portugal's national gendarmerie (GNR), which did not adopt the same tactics as the PSP.
Consequently, concludes the report, the GNR were unable to set limits of behaviour early on, or to differentiate between troublemakers and bystanders when forced to intervene. More fans were drawn in, and trouble escalated.
Dr Stott said: "Our approach was valid and useful in the planning of a successful tournament. We have also begun to understand that use of overwhelming force may manage conflict in the short term, but over time could entrench 'hooligans' within fan culture, and undermine critically important 'self-policing' efforts of legitimate fans."

Our tour guide Mark was great! Funny guy and can speak good english. I would highly recommend this tour . Good Job, Mark! Hope to come back again to Schenzhen.
Tour was well organised and with good communication. Mark was a fantastic tour guide and made the tour great but the unrelenting and extreme persistence of shop assistants for us to buy items in Lo Wu shopping centre was very irritating.
Awesome, was the one of the highlights of our trip, would definitely recommend to others.
Karin S Australia
A long and tiring day - great shopping but you can get most things elsewhere as well...but good to see sights on the way
Carol L Australia
Excellent day trip
Great trip, Mark is a very funny man and his dictionary of Aussie slang had us in stitches, I would recommend this day trip to anyone
Fantastic trip, a good bit of everything. Guide Mark is super, great sense of humour and loves learning new English slang! Shopping is tedious process but got some bargains and good quality with Mark's help.
Peter P Australia
outsatnding, well organised, well managed and great tour guide. Exceptional value for money
gerryc Canada
The tour was good but could use a couple more stops for photos. Tony was a very good and funny guide. Our escort (Joyce) did a good job accompanying us to and from Shenzhen.
Very enjoyable tour. The shopping was great but just be aware that the best way to shop is to know what you want. Shops are unable to display copy designer goods. They have catalogues that you peruse and then you tell them what you want and they will get it for you to decide if you would like to purchase. If you have an idea of what you want beforehand it would certainly save time. Felt that time shopping was a little short. Thought the silk and jade factory was interesting.
Weather not great but a good trip with excellent tour guides.
Our Shenzhen Tour was made more enjoyable by our Guides - Elton from Hong Kong and Steven in Shenzhen, who were both with us all day. Train journey into Shenzhen was enjoyable. Our Lunch as delicious at the Celebrity Club. Both Guides were very informative and good fun - made our day. Can highly recommend this Tour. Kevin C, Melbourne.
Very enjoyable and made worry-free by our excellent guide Ming.
Very good tour and well organised. Local guides were very knowledgeable and helpful in finding best places to shop. Saw a lot and bought a lot. Only down side was that we couldn't go on originally requested and paid for day.
2 great guides with their knowledge and humour made the day
Tour was well organized and followed the schedule. All transportation and lunch were were good and met our expectations. The places we visited were interesting but there was a lot of pressure to purchase items at each stop. Shopping in the afternoon was interesting but a little stressful for some on the tour.
Very pleasant tour with the Hongkong guide Mr Ming Dynasty, he is very polite and communicative and interesting guide Mr Steven from Chine, unfortunately, my tour is on Monday so that we could not go to the Museum because it's closed on Monday and did not go to the Shenzhen Windows of the World place as well as Viator's advertised, instead we were brought to a park to see old people doing dancing and to Jade factory. But it is paid by the good and delicious lunch at five star restaurant and 2.5 hours shopping at Lo Wu mall and VIP train from Hongkong to Shenzhen and back.
Your tour guides were superb and looked after us very well (Yvonne and Steven). Only complaint we have is that we booked your tour because you were the only one who advertised 4 hours in the Lo Wu shopping mall. This was not correct, as we only had 2 hours which is not long enough. Loved everything about the tour. Other passengers on the tour were also upset that time in Lo Wu wasn't long enough and said that they were going to complain. Perhaps you should think of making the time in Lo Wu a little longer than the 2 hours. Very interesting to see the Terracotta Warriors and museum. Thank you to your staff who looked after us to well.
Good day out. Guide was very good, couldn't do enough for us. Would recommend this tour
Enjoyed going into China the gardens were really good. ..shopping wasa bit in your face a nice meal....
Young Mark was our tour guide, he was the best tour guide very funny and informative, only thing we didn't like was the shopping, the people over there don't understand NO
Fantastic tour guides on both sides of China. Lovely tour with the gardens being the highlight. Lunch was nice but the shopping was a little less great. Took too long to achieve much shopping. Loved the train travel and would do this tour again perhaps without the Mall.
Informative guide. Trip exactly as described.
Great day. Well organised. Only disappointment was that I thought I was going to see the Terracotta Warriors.....saw a couple of them behind a glass wall for 5 minutes, no real story told about the history of it and then the rest of the stopover was about jade, which was interesting, but didn't know that we were doing a jade tour. And of course they try to get you to buy from the jade/jewellery factory.
Fairly enjoyable and comprehensive tour. Guide was excellent.

Early Authorizations in Roderick Hudson and The American
Just as Hawthorne composed The Scarlet Letter in the midst of enormous career pressures, James needed to demonstrate in his first two major texts that his vocational choice had been a correct one. The young author's tentative and incomplete mastery of his craft is a theme of James's treatment of both novels in the prefaces to the New York edition. His lengthy progress from early awkwardness to later mastery produces the general narrative that runs throughout the prefaces, a narrative first announced in the preface to Roderick Hudson as the "wondrous adventure" of the artist's "whole unfolding."1 If James journeys toward increasing consciousness, however, he nevertheless consistently argues that large portions of the process of literary composition must remain unconscious. In considering the source of the revisionary impulse even so late as the preface to The Golden Bowl, James speaks to "the manifold delicate things, . . . the inscrutable, the indefinable, that minister to deep and quite confident processes of change. It is enough, in any event, to be both beguiled and mystified by evolutions so near home, without sounding strange and probably even more abysmal waters."2 It is by glancing back at his early work, James argues in the preface to Roderick Hudson, that the artist profits from his notes' "own tendency to multiply, with the implication, thereby, of a memory much enriched" (1040).
Compared to this retrospectively produced consciousness, the forward- moving process of writing Roderick Hudson is described as a "shy and groping duration" in which he attempted to make plain the "ache" of his love for

CHICAGO -- The Brooklyn Nets appeared ready to jump back into this series. Now, they're just about out of it.

Terror comes to Mali's capital, again
Why the Radisson? Bamako's Radisson Blu hotel was a natural target for terrorists. There is just a handful of luxury hotels in Bamako, and the Radisson Blu is the only one whose name touts its Western ownership. There are no … Continue reading

This week's Mystery Banks Photo: This young man, pictured 60 years ago as a 13-year-old, is now retired from his job as a molder at Graham Packaging. He and his wife (who still works at Graham Packaging) have a daughter and a stepson.
Do you know him? If so, call The Leader-Union, 283-3374.
In last week's Mystery Banks Photo were: Mary Greer Rendleman and John David Greer.
Identifying them were: Carole White, Doris Wehrle, and Beeb and Billye Staff.
Thanks to Operation OUTING, nursing home residents in Vandalia have the opportunity to attend the Evergreen Outreach program at the First United Methodist Church on Mondays.
Operation OUTING also offers them, free of charge, scenic trips to various destinations in our area. For most of them, these outings are the only chance they have to see sights outside of their facility. Imagine yourself in that situation, where you have to depend entirely on others to get outside the bounds of your residence and see the outside world!
15 Years Ago
1995 – The Interstate Commerce Commission and Clinton County officials touted Enhanced 911 emergency phone services as Fayette County voters were preparing to vote on an Enhanced 911 referendum.
The Vandalia Chamber of Commerce's downtown revitalization committee announced its City of Candles project. The committee was encouraging local residents and business owners to put electric candles in their windows during the upcoming holiday season.
20 Years Ago
We live on a road with a dangerous s-curve. Over the years, many vehicles have failed to negotiate that difficult stretch. Just before 3 a.m. Monday, another one ended up in the ditch.
For some reason, I was awake enough to hear the vehicle approaching. Then came squealing tires, a thud and an eerie silence.
I went to the window to confirm what I thought I'd heard…hoping that my sleep-clouded brain had manufactured the incident. No such luck; I could hear voices yelling for help.
A query from B.J. Mueller, publisher of The Ramsey News-Journal, about the historic village of Perryville, located south of Pittsburg, caused me to pull out my file on this ancient village.
Perryville was platted in 1817 as the first county seat of Bond County. It stood on the bluff west of the Hurricane fork of the Kaskaskia River.
The village has long since turned to soil, but to stand near the millstone and read the signboard erected there by Steve Schildknecht in 1990 gives the visitor a sense of the history of the primitive village.
The newly hired Vandalia city administrator's decision to back out of job before starting it leaves the city of Vandalia facing a bad news, good news situation.
The bad news is that the city will have to start from scratch in hiring a city administrator. The good news is that the person who was hired just two months ago was probably not a good fit.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: These two young cousins, pictured in about 1935 grew up in the area. The girl now lives in Carbondale and the boy lives in Vandalia.
Do you know them? If so, call The Leader-Union, 283-3374.
In last week's Mystery Banks Photo were: Clockwise, from upper left: Wilma Rook Kruger, Frank Rook Sr., Frank Rook Jr. and Mary Rook Gebke.
Identifying them were: Norma Terry, Shirley Mattes, JoAnn Corry, Paul and Phyllis Sarver, Carolyn Grames and Karen Zimmerman.

5 Luxury Items We Can't Help But Covet
For menswear.
What's something we fashion-obsessed yet not loaded types are all guilty of? Envy, of course. "Why does so-and-so get to rock those Louis sneakers and flawless plastic surgery while I'm stuck here with my PF Flyers, doomed to remove pimples naturally?!" Our only solace is the occasion sale or giveaway. And while we're sure our cult fashion favorites won't lose their hefty price tags completely, these are the uber-luxury items that we'll be on the look out for in retailers' Sale aisle or section:
The Burberry Sandringham Slim Fit Trench Coat: regularly $1,795
Why we love it: This iconic coat has a rich military history which is reflected in the epaulettes on the shoulder, the gun flap fastens at the chest and a storm shield cover on the upper back. Made of tightly woven yet lightweight breathable cloth, the coat is protective against wind and rain. And, believe it or not, this coat was originally designed by Thomas Burberry back in 1879! The Sandringham takes this classic coat and updates it slightly with a slimmer fit that nips in at the waist. The details and tradition of the coat, paired with the famous Burberry check, have landed this item on our must have list.
A blended Burberry scarf: regularly $395
Why we love it: This lightweight scarf looks great paired with a classic trench. Try the Check Wool Silk Scarf in Trench Check or the Check Wool Silk Gauze Scarf in Stone Check. No matter which material feels better to you (or which you can find a better deal for) you can't lose!
Céline Leather Mini Luggage Tote: regularly $2,900 and up
Why we love it: It's hard to go wrong with such a beautiful roomy structured tote bag. It looks great in almost every style and color from black pebbled leather to a pop of burgundy. Be wary though, Céline still doesn't sell bags online and only certain stores sell them. (Call Barney's or Nordstrom to see if the store near you carrie.s Céline or if you're lucky enough to live in a big city, check there website. They have a few boutiques in Manhattan and other major cities as well as the Céline salon at Bergdorf Goodman in NY.)
Louboutin Stilettos: regularly $795- $845
Why we love them: They say it's what's on the inside that counts but when it comes to shoes it's the bottom! There's nothing more fashionable and recognizable then those red soles. For a great nude peep toe try Flo, which features a petite platform and comes in a range of "nudes" from light Lea to the darker Ada. Or opt for a classic pump such as the New Simple Pump which is sure to be your next go-to shoe.
Chanel Classic Flap Bag: regularly $4,900
Why we love it: Chanel is the epitome of fashion. It's classic, timeless and only gets better with age. Some people literally purchase Chanel purses as investment pieces. With its quilted design, double C closure, and chain link handle, this Chanel bag goes with everything.

Fashion Industry Trends – Fall 2013 International Fashion Shows
Fall and winter are not only a change of season, but they are also the time of year that designers are showcasing their creations in fashion shows all over the world. However, don't expect the clothing for the current season to be on the runway because the designers are usually working on collections six months to one year ahead. And don't expect any trips to these exotic runways to be cheap! A wise investment to make beforehand might be in travel insurance from John Lewis. This type of coverage internationally guarantees a generous cancellation cover limit, emergency medical expenses, and a travel delay retainer!

Women's Fashion Advice – Primer On Lipstick!
For women's fashion.
Although New York Fashion Week might be over and Fall 2013 is months away, you can still take inspiration from the runway and incorporate it into your daily look. I'm talking about makeup, or specifically, lipstick. It's one of the easiest and most versatile products in your makeup stash to use and accessorize with. From hot pink lips at Dior to wine-stained lips at Vera, bold colors were in abundance, which gives you a lot of options to play with.
Of course, not all lipsticks are created equal. While I'll admit that it's possible to find drugstore dupes for high-end brands, investing in a good lipstick is the difference between a product that stays perfectly on your lips after coffee, or a product that fades and smudges within an hour or two.

Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSensesamsunglfd.com/solution/sur40.do
What is this picture of, and what does it have to do with Microsoft Surface? I promise I won't keep you in the dark for long. Check back after 11am Pacific today and I'll fill you in on the complete picture.
- Eric
Surface was back in action at PDC for another round of heady developer talks, loads of Surface Q&A time in the booth and a steady stream of folks still amazed at what this technology can do and the implications it has for Microsoft's future with NUI products. Once again our dev team is on hand to show off some of the latest applications and help people get hands on with Surface. A big attraction this year in the booth seems to be the dedicated unit which features all of the Hard Rock Surface applications that were recently deployed at the new Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas. It proves to be a natural seque in our conversations when folks ask about real world examples of how customers are using Surface. Beyond the booth, Surface is keeping attendees connected and networking through our "conference connection" cards and application on units spread throughout the show. Each attendee receives a tagged ID card that uniquely recognizes them at key Surface units. Using this card on Surface allows them to then share their contact info with other attendees, as well as keep up on real time Twitter and Flickr feeds from PDC. It's proving popular as the team registered over a 1,000 attendees in just one day.
We'll be back in the booth tomorrow, as well as hosting a table at the Ask the Experts session in the evening. Stop on by to learn more about Surface, how you can get the SDK and meet some of the technical team behind the development scenes.
Here's a recap of what we talked about this week in the Microsoft Surface blog.
Next week is PDC. Kyle is our man on the ground. He'll take photos and send back reports from the event in case you miss anything. If you can't get your news fast enough, there's always Twitter.

The home of Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Peters was reportedly burglarized and the thief got away with an estimated $60,000 worth of property.
Peters had been away since mid-January and returned to his home Wednesday at a condominium development near the Eagles' Nova Care Center training facility and Lincoln Financial Field to find that it had been ransacked, CBS3 reported.
Peters told police the thieves took a number of pricey items including designer watches, high-end diamond jewelry and camera equipment, according to CBS3.
In its continuing crusade to make amends with members miffed about Church officials' alleged coverup of pedophile priests, the Archdiocese today printed an apology to parishioners in their newspaper.
"We are sorry," reads the apology in The Catholic Standard & Times. "We, the Church, are sorry for the sexual abuse suffered by our brothers and sisters when they were young people at the hands of the Church's clergymen and teachers. The Church is sorry for the sins and crimes of some members against other members. The Church begs forgiveness of our brothers and sisters, and of almighty God."
The unsigned apology exhorted readers to rebuild their trust in the Church by taking to heart the changes officials have enacted since the release of a scathing grand-jury report earlier this month.
A gun-toting thug walked-up to a Feltonville Dunkin Donuts drive-thru Thursday morning and demanded cash, police said.
The masked crook pointed a gun at the cashier inside the store, on Hunting Park Avenue near Rising Sun, at about 12:30 a.m.
Police said that the man walked away with about $200. No one was injured but the cashier was pretty shaken-up, according to the manager.
Update: City police have acknowledged that an officer made a mistake when he shot an innocent man's dog to death Wednesday night during a narcotics bust in West Philadelphia.
"My feeling is that the owner of the dog will seek and will probably, definitely get some type of reimbursement from the city," said Lt. Ray Evers, police spokesman.
Following complaints from neighbors about drug sales coming out of a home on Pennsgrove Street near 42nd, police set up a surveillance operation of the house Wednesday night and busted five buyers, Evers said.
In a tragic sequence of events Monday, a Vietnam veteran who neighbors said was a hoarder, died of a heart attack while smoking a cigarette that then fell out of his hands and caught his Wissinoming house on fire, according to findings from the Medical Examiner's Office and the fire marshal.
Neighbors said Bob Irvine, 60, who worked as a welder at the airport, had trash piles throughout his house and an official from the Department of Licenses and Inspections said debris was more than two feet high in the home on Howell Street near Tackawanna.
Today, the Medical Examiner's Office determined Irvine died of a heart attack and was dead before the start of the fire. The Fire Marshal's Office determined that the cause of the fire was smoking, leading to the conclusion that Irvine was smoking when he had the heart attack and then dropped his cigarette, which began the blaze.
A female bartender in Kensington slipped on some ice while chasing a cash-snatching bandit Tuesday night, police said.
The 55 year-old bartender told police that a well-dressed white man, about 6-feet-2 with black curly hair, entered Luke's Bar on Cedar Street near Haggert at 11:30 p.m.
The man didn't make any demands or announcements; instead he simply reached into the register and stole $100, police said.
An arsonist has haunted -- but not physically harmed -- two Upper Darby families twice in the last week.
Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said the firebug poured gasoline and lit three matches on the first floor porch of an apartment building on State Road near Parkview Road about 2 a.m. today.
A tenant extinguished the small flames with a bucket of water. Chitwood said the arsonist pulled the same stunt on the same porch about 3 a.m. on Feb. 14.
With record warm temperatures Friday night, police in Center City and North Philadelphia were forced to spend time dealing with crowds of teens that had some thinking back to last year's flash mob scares.
At one point, a crowd of teens walking on Chestnut Street west of Broad Street forced the Shops at Liberty Place to lock its doors at 6 p.m., CBS3 reported.
"Nobody was letting anyone come in or out because everyone was really, really nervous," customer Annie Perkins-Link told CBS3. "Security guards were everywhere and a lot of the store personnel were kind of scared."

Moon Sun Lounger
- Inspired by the Moon texture, ironically this lounger is a reflection of the Sun. Its' form and material serves for the best comfort of sunbathing. All transparent structure, easily manufactured, solves some of the problems of todays' loungers and adds more functions.
Advantages of Moon SunLounger:- Filled with water, the bottom part reflects sunbeams perfectly to the back of the body, tanning front and back at the same time.- Water vaporizes over time, cooling the air around the body.- The different size holes can hold any kind of glass, beverage.- With the bottom shape and water weight, after a small nudge, it acts like a cradle swinging from side to side.- With it's aesthetic form, it's a conversation starter.
What happens with an ordinary sun lounger?The first problem is, you have to turn your body over and over again to get a perfect tan. 15 minutes this side, 15 minutes that side. It's exhausting!If you fall asleep, half of your body is sunburned! Drinks, your belongings should be on a table which you can't always control or find so if you fall asleep or get distracted, maybe your bag won't be there.
What happens with Moon SunLounger?With a diameter of 186cm (6.1 feet) it's comfortable for anybody. Transparent, anti-sweat material (polycarbonate composite) is used, manufactured by termoforming. Without the need of a towel, water inside the Moon vaporizes over time, exits from the holes both on your side and nano-holes below your body, cools the air around you and your body! No matter what the angle of the sun beams are, it always reflects the beams to your back.
- Fill it with water just to the level shown on the sides. Don't be shy, you're surrounded by water :)
- Then you lie on it, put your drink, bag, etc. right beside you. The water and the reflective material at the bottom reflects sun beams back so you are tanned on both sides! Water vaporizes slowly, cooling the air around you.
- Water level line on all sides prevents the water to spill from the holes. If you give it a nudge, weight of the water swings the body from side to side. It's like a rocking chair, it's like a baby cradle, only cooler! :)
It's functional, aesthetic, comfortable, desirable. It's never been seen before... It's from the moon...

Article Summary
Now here's a story we couldn't resist. Owners of Ford F250 and F350 vehicles with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel now have a safe, easy way to improve acceleration, towing power and even fuel economy. Diesel performance technology company Edge Products now offers a system it calls "Juice With Attitude" consistently produces up to 75 more HP and at least 190 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. The kit installs in about five minutes using factory-style connectors. By plugging into PCM connections, the Juice enhances signals for fueling, turbo boost and ignition timing.

Pats win 20-19
I'm glad to see that all you Rams fans are posting blowout type scores. You sound like Steeler and Raider fans. I assumed that you would have learned from their downfalls not to underestimate the level of play that the Patriots bring. The Pats are twice as good now as they were then. They won't make the same mistakes in this game. The Rams are in for a long night and a gut-wrenching 20-19 defeat. Pats win. Pats win.
-01-28-2002 #17RAMSWIN Guest
Okay, dude. You're right.......
-01-28-2002 #18
Good luck and welcome p.pat
Admin Note ....... No smack talking in here please, just game scores thanks
As long as the officials don't hand this game to you guys, I wish you the best. The Patriots are a good team. I too, think we are in for a gut wrenching game.
NE brings a lot of experience, and with it composure, on the defensive side of the ball, especially in the secondary. The Rams special teams can be deleterious to our well-being, the pats special teams are strong.
I don't have the guts to make a prediction at this time. I will watch how this week plays out. I will then make a prediciton that is not even close to the final outcome.
Go Rams

Lets be scientific about this. The first time around this year we played on grass, at night in New England. That alone is worth 10-14 extra points. Second, we showed mercy and took a knee instead of running up the score, thats 7 more. Third the defense had multiple injuries and we finished that game with OJ Brigance at linebacker who we picked up that week. Sounds like at least a minus 10. We are on a roll as is New England, only we are not Pittsburgh or Oakland.

The Pats are a good team taht will play their hardest. Being from NE i am sick of hearing aobut the Pats being a better team than the rams so i cant wait till the Rams hand a defeat to the pat's.
Rams-- 35
Our D is just to tough for the Pats, DEFENCE wins championships!
-01-31-2002 #30
close game
I could see this game going either way. I've always like NE's DB's. If we turn it over 3 times as we did during the regular season match up I think that the pats could win. Especially if their special teams comes up big. I realize that special teams and turnovers are two things which we have improved during the playoffs. I'm still thinking about that kickoff return which got called back in the Green Bay game.
Rams - 20
Pats - 17
Go rams.

|ESPN.com: World Cup 2010
|[Print without images]
After surviving a tense last-week doubleheader (including a playoff) with archrival Egypt that was laced with venom (on and off the field), Algeria heads to South Africa riding a tidal wave of emotion.
On the last day of qualifying, Algeria faced Egypt with a three-point lead in Group C and a better goal differential. But the Algeria-Egypt rivalry is one of the most intense in soccer, its history laced with violence, and all concerned knew anything could happen.
|Antar Yahia (right) was hurt in an attack before a game with Egypt in November, then scored the winning goal in the teams' resulting playoff.
The game was played against the backdrop of the tension still emanating from a 1989 World Cup qualifier, also played in Cairo: With a berth to Italy 1990 on the line, the two teams engaged in one of the most vicious games in memory. The violence escalated after Egypt won 1-0 on a controversial goal, with the worst casualty being the Egyptian team doctor, who was hit with a broken bottle at a postgame press conference, allegedly thrown by an Algerian player, and lost an eye.
In 2009, the violence that had been feared began early. Algeria's team bus was stoned at the Cairo Airport and two Algerians played the next day with their heads bandaged as a result of injuries suffered in the attack. The game was just as dramatic. Egypt took an early 1-0 lead, but Algeria dug in and held the Egyptian offense at bay. But just when it appeared Egypt would fall short and Algeria would advance, Emad Meteab scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to secure a 2-0 win for the Egyptians and force a one-game playoff.
The playoff was held in neutral Sudan four days later. Momentum seemed to be with Egypt, but Algeria rallied and won 1-0 on a spectacular goal by defender Antar Yahia, one of the Algerians who had played in Cairo wearing bandages.
The Desert Foxes will be making their third World Cup appearance. That's not much of a Cup pedigree, but the Algerians nonetheless have had an enormous impact on the tournament. In their World Cup debut in 1982, they upset West Germany 2-1 in their opening game. Algeria lost to Austria and beat Chile in its next two games, then had to wait for the following day's West Germany-Austria game to see if it would advance to the next round. A 1-0 win for West Germany would ensure that both teams advanced at the expense of Algeria, and that's exactly what happened.
In one of the most shameful episodes in World Cup history, the Germans scored in the 10th minute, then both teams sat back and played out the string. As a result of that game, all final first-round group games now are played simultaneously to avoid collusion between teams to ensure advancement.
While Algeria's 1982 experience left a mark on the World Cup, the Cup also unwittingly played a role in Algeria's independence from its colonial ruler France. Algerian players such as Rachid Mekhloufi and Mustapha Zitouni played in 1958 World Cup-qualifying games for France. But when the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) secretly recruited them to play for an Algeria XI to help promote the independence movement, the players sacrificed their chance to play at Sweden 1958. Instead of playing in the World Cup, they would play an integral part in putting a face to the Algerian independence movement. FIFA refused to recognize the Algerian team, but it played unofficial games for four years until Algeria gained its independence from France in 1962. Twenty years later, Mekhloufi would coach Algeria in the 1982 World Cup.
Ironically, the current Algerian national team has a distinct French connection: Twelve of its players in the Egypt game were born in France, sons of Algerian immigrants. Algeria's midfield stars Karim Ziani and Mourad Meghni hail from Paris, and Meghni (known as le petit Zidane) played on the French team that won the 2001 U-17 FIFA World Cup. Yahia, the playoff goal hero, was born in Mulhouse. His colleagues on the back line, Glasgow Rangers central defender Madjid Bougherra and Portsmouth fullback Nadir Belhadj, are also French-born, as is team captain and midfield enforcer Yazid Mansouri. This group, along with two Algerian-born players -- goalkeeper Lounes Gaouaoui and striker Rafik Saifi -- will form the core of coach Rabah Saadane's side.
Saadane leads the Desert Foxes to the World Cup for the second time. He was at the helm in 1986, when Algeria lost to Brazil and Spain and tied with Northern Ireland to finish at the bottom of its group.
The veteran coach already has gained the result all of Algeria wanted this time around: a win over Egypt to gain a 2010 World Cup berth. Saadane's charges weren't expected to topple "the Pharaohs" and win the group, so they are playing with house money in South Africa. That, combined with a truly battle-tested set of players, will make Algeria a tricky opponent, one not to be underestimated next summer.

About Me:
I was born, 7th august 1953. My father Te Kapunga (Bully) is of maori and scottish descent, my mother is from the Cook Islands. I am the youngest from a family of 5, of which 2 of my siblings are deceased. We were all born and bred in Whakatane, where I am currently staying and looking after my elderly mum. I am very proud to say that my dad served with the 28th Maori Battalion. Unfortunately as we were growing up our dad never talked about the war. By listening and reading about other soldiers memoirs, one can understand why. I have found a few notes, and some of his photos during his service and would like to contribute them here, in his memory. If anyone can add names to any photos or any comments, please feel free to do so. Kia ora.

I haven't used mod_lisp with CLISP yet so I don't no any details for this implementation. (defun make-apache-listener (port) (let ((socket (ext:create-inet-listener port))) (unwind-protect (loop (mp:process-wait-until-fd-usable socket :input) (multiple-value-bind (new-fd remote-host) (ext:accept-tcp-connection socket) (let ((stream (sys:make-fd-stream new-fd :input t :output t))) (mp:make-process #'(lambda () (apache-listen stream)))))) (unix:unix-close socket)))) Here are some benchmark results done on my laptop - also with the mod_lisp example code and CMUCL. This is admittedly a very simple, static example but you'll see that mod_lisp handles 500 request with a concurrency level of 10 without any problems - in less than 0.3 seconds. edi@...:~ > /usr/local/apache/bin/ab -n 500 -c 10 'http://localhost/lisp'; This is ApacheBench, Version 1.3d <$Revision: 1.65 $> apache-1.3 Copyright (c) 1996 Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd, http://www.zeustech.net/ Copyright (c) 1998-2002 The Apache Software Foundation, http://www.apache.org/ Benchmarking localhost (be patient) Completed 100 requests Completed 200 requests Completed 300 requests Completed 400 requests Finished 500 requests Server Software: Apache/1.3.26 Server Hostname: localhost Server Port: 80 Document Path: /lisp Document Length: 196 bytes Concurrency Level: 10 Time taken for tests: 0.294 seconds Complete requests: 500 Failed requests: 0 Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 206412 bytes HTML transferred: 98196 bytes Requests per second: 1700.68 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 5.88 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 0.59 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 702.08 [Kbytes/sec] received Connnection Times (ms) min mean[+/-sd] median max Connect: 0 0 0.2 0 3 Processing: 2 5 2.9 5 16 Waiting: 1 4 2.9 5 16 Total: 2 5 2.9 5 16 Percentage of the requests served within a certain time (ms) 50% 5 66% 6 75% 6 80% 6 90% 9 95% 13 98% 14 99% 16 100% 16 (last request) > Am I missing something?

The db connection pool should be no big deal although you'll probably have to implement it yourself. I think the main problem is that many (most?) CL implementations will block during a db call (because it's FFI stuff). [Please correct me if I'm wrong.] This can't be resolved with threading and forking isn't very Lisp-y... > If this is not an appropriate thread for the CLISP list, let me know > and I'll take it up w/ the mod_lisp devleoper(s) - but it doesn't > have a mailing list. Marc is usually very helpful - you can contact him directly. There's also the lispweb mailing list. Cheers, Edi.
