X-FAB Joins the IPL Alliance and Announces iPDK AvailabilityNEWS, 5월 14, 2012.
MOUNTAN VIEW, Calif. – The Interoperable PDK Libraries (IPL) Alliance announced today that X-FAB Silicon Foundries has joined the IPL Alliance, a standards organization whose charter is to establish an interoperable custom design ecosystem. X-FAB, the leading foundry group for analog/mixed-signal semiconductor applications, is making interoperable process design kits (iPDKs) available for its most popular foundry processes ranging from 0.6 to 0.13 micrometers.
The IPL Alliance, which includes major electronic design automation (EDA), semiconductor and foundry companies, released the industry's first open standard for iPDKs for analog/mixed-signal designs in 2010. The iPDK standard is based on the OpenAccess database and uses standard languages and a unified architecture to enable interoperability among all EDA vendor tools. Engineering teams only need to develop a single PDK for each process node, which reduces development costs, shortens design cycles and provides designers with earlier access to advanced process technologies across multiple tools.
X-FAB is the leading analog/mixed-signal foundry group manufacturing silicon wafers for analog-digital integrated circuits (mixed-signal ICs). X-FAB maintains wafer production facilities in Erfurt and Dresden (Germany); Lubbock, Texas (US); and Kuching, Sarawak (Malaysia); and employs approximately 2,400 people worldwide. Wafers are manufactured based on advanced modular CMOS and BiCMOS processes with technologies ranging from 1.0 to 0.13 micrometers, for applications primarily in the automotive, communications, consumer and industrial sectors.
"We are committed to helping our customers make their analog/mixed-signal designs more robust and get to market faster," said Thomas Ramsch, director of design support at X-FAB. "Therefore, after extensive evaluation, we decided to join the IPL Alliance, adopt the iPDK standard and provide our customers with X-FAB iPDKs. We believe the standardization of PDKs can significantly lower the cost and reduce the effort for analog IP migration. By next month, X-FAB will be able to deliver iPDKs, for all supported EDA tools that work with the OpenAccess database, four times faster than before."
"iPDKs are proven and provide semiconductor foundries significant benefits such as reducing PDK development and validation time, lowering support and distribution costs and enabling advanced design flows and multiple EDA tool support," said Jingwen Yuan, president of the IPL Alliance and strategic alliance manager at Synopsys. "We are happy to add leading analog/mixed signal foundry X-FAB to our growing number of foundry members."
About the IPL Alliance
The IPL Alliance is an industry standards organization established to develop an interoperable ecosystem for custom design by creating and promoting interoperable PDK standards. There are currently 30 semiconductor and EDA company members. For more information, please visit the IPL Alliance web site at http://www.IPLnow.com or contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Sasori (サソリ, Sasori) also known as Sasori of the Red Sand (赤砂のサソリ, Akasuna no Sasori) was a member of Akatsuki prior to his death, and was partnered with Deidara, Orochimaru before that.
Sasori's complete lack of empathy might have stemmed from his tragic past. When Sasori was around five years old, his parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake,[1] leaving him with no one but his grandmother, Chiyo, to care for him. Chiyo began to teach him the art of making puppets, and Sasori soon proved to be a born natural. He began to make puppets at the age of five, and even made puppets that resembled his parents to get rid of the terrible loneliness he felt.
Sasori, later infamously known as Sasori of the Red Sand, created many ingenious puppets, including the ones now owned by Kankuro. Later, he became missing-nin when he left Sunagakure twenty years before his introduction, but the background to his crimes is unknown but is presumed due to being found experimenting on people in an attempt to create human puppets. Flashbacks seem to indicate that his descent into darkness started when his parents died. As mentioned above, Sasori went so far as to simulate being with them by turning the Sand Village's malfunctioning puppets into puppets of his parents. This effort failed, (the puppets cracked) and he abandoned the puppets,[2] although Chiyo kept them safe and upgraded them so they could be used in battle. Around the time of his defection, Sasori converted himself into a human puppet to maintain his youthful looks and increase his own offensive capabilities.
Sometime after leaving the village, Sasori joined Akatsuki and was eventually paired with Orochimaruand Chiyokie Fujiwara.[3] After Orochimaru left Akatsuki, Sasori was teamed up with Deidara, though he always carried a grudge against his former partner. He sent Kabuto Yakushi to spy on Orochimaru, but Orochimaru dispelled Sasori's jutsu and convinced Kabuto to join him. Sasori is also shown having numerous underling and spies in many nations. Such as Yura, Mukade, and Kabuto. At one point, Sasori abducted and killed the Third Kazekage, converting the Kazekage's body into a puppet.[4] he'd join this akatsuki for two reason from his parents and the girl he attract so before that he still tell the one who visit the sunagakure to search the place if where that she can hide for murduring people to sucked bloods sasori described the girl he just say beautiful or pretty,smart,and lovely shiny and white hair the girl is Chiyokie.
Sasori is known for his impatience (he notes that he does not wish to wait or keep others waiting),[5] which is quite ironic since he has all the time in the world thanks to his puppet-converted body. He has little empathy for his opponents or regard for human life, and he states that he will not feel anything if Chiyo dies from his poison or using her life energy to heal Sakura, as he claims that his heart has become like his puppet body.
Despite his cruelty, Sasori also has shown to possess a very down-to-Earth outlook on life, rarely growing worked up over obstacles that come his way. Almost never does he show extreme emotion, and even these instances are short-lived.
Sasori and Deidara both portray conflicting views of art, and they frequently argue about their different views.[6] Deidara holds that art is something transient that departs quickly, whereas Sasori believes that fine art is something wonderful that is left long into the future. This reflects their individual natures (Deidara makes clay sculptures that explode; Sasori makes long-lasting puppets out of humans). Deidara outwardly seems to respect Sasori's beliefs, but Sasori doesn't respect Deidara's.
Deidara commented to Kakashi on how much stronger Sasori is compared to himself, however at the time of his death, Sasori had not yet captured his tailed beast. A short dialogue between himself and Deidara suggests that Sasori did not even know what beast he had been assigned to target.[7] After his death, Tobi takes his place, and his ring, in Akatsuki.
Part II
Rescue Gaara arc
Sasori returns to Sunagakure with Deidara to capture Gaara. After Gaara's capture, Kankuro attempts to stop the Akatsuki duo, and Sasori confronts him so that Deidara can go on ahead unopposed. Sasori makes quick work of Kankuro, nearly killing him and easily destroying Kankuro's puppets, due to his pre-existing knowledge of their secrets. After the one-tailed Shukaku is extracted from Gaara at the Akatsuki hideout, Sasori and Deidara are left in charge of defeating the pursuing Team 7. As Deidara leads half of Team 7 away, Sasori is left to face Sakura Haruno and Chiyo, his grandmother.
Soon after the battle begins, Sakura is able to destroy Sasori's Hiruko puppet (with Chiyo controlling Sakura like a puppet). After Sasori emerges from Hiruko's remains and reveals his true self, he brings out his Third Kazekage puppet. Seeing that puppet, Chiyo realizes that Sasori was responsible for the Kazekage's disappearance years earlier, the fate of whom had remained a mystery until that point. Since the Third Kazekage is a human puppet, Sasori is able use its various Iron Sand abilities to attack and overwhelm Chiyo and Sakura. To try and combat the Kazekage, Chiyo brings out Sasori's parents' puppets. Although Chiyo has since equipped them with extra weapons, the Kazekage's abilities quickly disabled the two puppets. Acting on her own, Sakura demolishes this puppet after picking up on its movements, and using herself as bait to lower Sasori's guard.
With the loss of the Kazekage puppet, Sasori begins attacking with his own body, its puppet additions allowing him many advantages over Chiyo and Sakura. When Chiyo brings out her own ten puppets in an attempt to level the playing field, Sasori uses his Performance of a Hundred Puppets, allowing him to control ten times as many puppets as Chiyo. Since Chiyo's puppets are designed to work together, a trait lacking with all of Sasori's puppets, her puppets fare far better than his, though they are eventually overwhelmed by attrition. During the battle, Chiyo attempts to seal Sasori's chakra with a special orb from one of her puppets, but misses his heart and only catches his body.
Using the seal as a distraction, Sasori makes it appear as if she succeeded and attempts a sneak attack on Chiyo. Sakura takes the attack for Chiyo, giving Chiyo the chance to use Sasori's parent puppets to stab him through the heart in the form of a hug. As a reward to Sakura for defeating him, Sasori informs her of a spy that he has within Orochimaru's ranks, and tells her of when and where she can meet this spy. As Sasori dies, Chiyo implies that Sasori could have avoided her last attack, but he allowed himself to be defeated. Thus, it appeared as if Sasori chose to die in the loving embrace of his parents.[8]
OverviewSasori was a master of puppetry. His grandmother, Chiyo, began teaching him such skills at a very early age, and he created many puppets over his lifetime. Prior to his leaving the village, Sasori created the puppets Kankuro uses throughout the series; Karasu, Kuroari, and Sanshuou.[9] His status as a master puppeteer affords him a tremendous advantage against other puppeteer shinobi, especially if the puppets they are using happens to be formerly his own, as seen on his battle against Kankuro. Along with being a master of puppetry, Sasori was also a master of poisons. His poisons took effect instantly, and one such poison could kill the target after three days of suffering. To Sasori, this poison was untreatable. But to his surprise, Sakura Haruno came up with a cure for the poison. Sasori added this poison to virtually every weapon in his arsenal, making each blow potentially lethal for his opponents. Combined with his extensive knowledge of the human body and chakra, Sasori has also demonstrated highly advanced ability at sealing jutsu as shown from his longtime control over Yura and Kabuto.
Sasori's abilities can be categorized into the following attributes:
- Vast Chakra Reserve: Sasori has an extremely large reserve of Chakra, as shown by the fact that even after a long and drawn out battle using Hiruko, himself and the Third Kazekage to their limits, he was able to summon, control and maintain 100 other Puppets with no evidence of slowing down. However, this may be contributed that he is using the chakra of the other puppets in addition of his own.
- High Stamina: Due to being a Human Puppet, Sasori does not feel such things as fatigue, poison, and muscle failure, allowing him to move at full strength for large amounts of time.
- Enhanced Speed: As shown by his hand speed during his duel with Chiyo, Sasori's speed is well beyond a human level.
- Expert Ranged Fighter: Due to being such a highly skilled puppeteer, he is a very versatile and powerful long-range fighter.
- Expert Puppeteer: As a genius of Sunagakure village for his creations of many powerful puppets, and being able to control a hundred and one puppets simultaneously, Sasori is considered a master puppeteer.
- Expert Mechanical Engineer As shown by the types of puppet and modifications done to them, Sasori has proven to be a brilliant designer of puppets.
During regular combat, Sasori usually wears his puppets like armor and controls them from the inside, thus eliminating the puppeteer's weakness of being a separate and exposed target.[10] Sasori's favorite puppet to use in this manner is Hiruko (ヒルコ), which he adorned with the regular Akatsuki outfit and wore so often that others came to recognize him only while he was wearing it. Also, when within Hiruko, Sasori has a deeper and more gruff voice. Hiruko has a long mechanical scorpion tail (allusion to his name meaning scorpion), extending from the mouth of what appears to be a mask, on his back, a recent addition to add extra defense to a weak point. The tail works as Hiruko's main offensive weapon, and at first seems to be indestructible, until it was easily destroyed by the Sandaime Kazekage Puppet's clawed arm. The tail is also used as an extra defense, by spinning it around his body at a rapid speed. The left arm is rigged with a projectile launcher capable of firing shrapnel and needles,[11] and the mouth can be opened to serves as a similar projectile-firing device, capable of firing poisoned needles, but with a more rapid speed.
Puppet Body
Although Sasori is thirty-five years old, he maintains the appearance of a teenage boy. Sasori's unnaturally young appearance is a product of his design. Most of Sasori's body (excluding his heart) is actually a puppet.[12] In place of his stomach is a thick cable coiled around a pole, allowing Sasori to use it as a stinger and retract it as necessary. Attached to his back is a scroll holder, containing four scrolls that seem to serve as "ammunitions", which Sasori uses to store his human puppets, flamethrower and water jet capacities. Sasori also added a pair of poles to the back of his hips, each equipped with five large blades that that can spin like a propeller, and pipes to each of his hands, that can spew out intense fire, like a flamethrower, or powerful water jets. Curiously, when using "himself" Sasori's eyes are always wide open, giving him a somewhat manic look. In contrast, prior to revealing his puppet body, they were always half-closed, making him appear calmer.
Installed in the right part of his chest is a mechanism that can spin numerous chakra strings, allowing Sasori to control, at least, one hundred puppets at once, amongst others used for his Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets that he claims to have taken down an entire country, and giving him a drastic advantage over all other puppeteers. Sasori's left part of his chest holds the only part of him still human and thus the only, and needed, part of his body capable of controlling chakra, a cylinder-shaped device containing his heart.
Because Sasori's heart was the only living part of himself, his puppet body is virtually indestructible; allowing him to survive the poison mist Kankuro bombarded him with as well as the impact from Sakura's punches. When smashed apart, he can simply draw the pieces back together. Additionally, he can transfer his heart to other puppets in a split second, allowing him to abandon a body should it be damaged beyond repair or otherwise incapacitated. How he transfers his facial features, as depicted in the manga, is not explained; at one point, he transfers to another puppet that somehow has his face.
Human Puppetry
In addition to being a master puppeteer, Sasori's regular puppets are unique in that they are made from the still-living bodies of humans. These human puppets are more versatile than regular puppets, since in addition to having many dangerous devices installed within them (as is common with regular puppets), they are also able to use chakra and perform jutsu. Any jutsu or kekkei genkai abilities possessed by the converted human are also passed on to the puppet. Sasori claims to have a collection of 298 Human Puppets, 103 of which he actually displayed.
Third Kazekage
His favorite human puppet is the Third Kazekage, which retained its unique magnetic chakra abilities, and thus can use the fearsome Iron Sand technique. Of course, mixed with Sasori's poison, the Iron Sand was given a more lethal edge. The Iron Sand can also be used to fill up the joints of other puppets, thus immobilizing them.
The Kazekage puppet's right arm holds several poisoned blades, while the left arm can open up to reveal several summoning seals that summon thousands of similar arms. The several arms are capable of pinning down an opponent, and if that fails, they can release several poisonous gas clouds that are instantly fatal if inhaled. The summoned arms can also release kunai attached wires, to drag the opponent into the gas cloud. The arms can also fire several regular kunai. If the extra arms are cut off, a small buzz saw will take their place.

Crow (烏, Karasu) is a puppet, originally created by Sasori, but passed onto Kankurō. It resembles a three-eyed, four-armed humanoid with jagged teeth and spiky brown hairstyle protruding from the top of its head and framing the sides. In Part I, Kankurō typically keeps Crow wrapped in bandages on his back, and he is able to switch places with it at will using the Body Replacement Technique. Because of Kankurō's enjoyment in installing mechanisms into his puppets, Crow is very offensive, having numerous concealed weapons.
One of Crow's specialities is working with Black Ant to use techniques such as Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot and Poison Mist Hell: Hundred Continuous Firing. Crow was destroyed by Sasori when Kankurō fought against him after Gaara's capture early in Part II and has since been repaired along with Black Ant and Salamander.
Crow's Arsenal
- Several poison-tipped darts such as kunai or senbon.
- Smoke bombs launchers in the arms in order to blind its opponents. The smokescreens can be made up of poisonous gas to serve a secondary purpose.
- A blade that unfolds from its abdomen (in Part II).
- Hidden scythe blades on his torso.
- Hidden wrist knives.
- Hidden giant, poisoned needle in its mouth.
- Large blades on the joints of his arms, legs and head, used during the Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot
- Any of its body parts are detachable for separate attacks.
- Apparently has some kind of recording device on its eyes, as Kankurō used it during the written test of the Chūnin Exams to record the other candidates' answers.
- A special flight mechanism that enables it to manoeuvre high into the air where it could bomb targets from above.(Video games only)

Unsigned to signed conversion error
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 02/19/2009
An unsigned-to-signed conversion error takes place when a large unsigned primitive is used as an signed value - usually as a size variable.
- Availability: Incorrect sign conversions generally lead to undefined behavior, and therefore crashes.
- Integrity: If a poor cast lead to a buffer underwrite, data integrity may be affected.
- Access control (instruction processing): Improper unsigned-to-signed conversions, often create buffer underwrite conditions which can be used to execute arbitrary code. This is usually outside the scope of a program's implicit security policy.
Exposure period
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Design: Accessor functions may be designed to mitigate some of these logical issues.
- Implementation: Many logic errors can lead to this condition. It can be exacerbated by lack of or misuse of mitigating technologies.
- Languages: C, C++, Fortran, Assembly
- Operating platforms: All
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
Low to Medium
Although less frequent an issue than signed-to-unsigned casting, unsigned-to-signed casting can be the perfect precursor to dangerous buffer underwrite conditions that allow attackers to move down the stack where they otherwise might not have access in a normal buffer overflow condition.
Buffer underwrites occur frequently when large unsigned values are cast to signed values, and then used as indexes into a buffer or for pointer arithmetic.
Risk Factors
While not exploitable, the following program is an excellent example of how implicit casts, while not changing the value stored, significantly changes its use:
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int value; value = (int)(~((int)0) ^ (1 << (sizeof(int)*8))); printf("Max unsigned int: %u %1$x\nNow signed: %1$d %1$x\n", value); return (0); }
The above code produces the following output:
Max unsigned int: 4294967295 ffffffff Now signed: -1 ffffffff
Note how the hex value remains unchanged.

Related Controls
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Design: Ensure that interacting functions retain the same types and that only safe type casts must occur. If possible, use intelligent marshalling routines to translate between objects.
- Implementation: Use out-of-data band channels for transmitting error messages if unsigned size values must be transmitted. Check all errors.
- Build: Pay attention to compiler warnings which may alert you to improper type casting.

Other STATIONS:
There is no journey that grips the imagination of the American people more profoundly that the trip from east to west. For three weeks in September, traveling in the same direction the tracks were laid, is a train carrying a band of artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers and social media mavens. For one week, VMAN went be along for the ride.
It was clear skies as our train rolled past the govermnent subsidized cornfields of the midwest. You could feel the warmth in the air whipping past the moment you stepped out onto a vestibule between air-conditioned carriages. It was a week into Station to Station, a nomadic happening taking Doug Aitken and his merry band of artists, musicians, cameramen and crew on a nine-city tour across the country.
I had only been on the train since Chicago but by the time we crossed the Mississippi River on the Santa Fe Swing Span Bridge—the largest double-deck swing-span bridge in the world—traversing state lines into Iowa, I was already a woman embedded. It was my fifth day of travel but it felt like I had been with the team all month.
"It's funny how quickly you just settle into it," said Eleanor Friedberger, known for her work in Fiery Furnaces. She sat in a vibrant lounger covered in fabric by Jorge Pardo. "It's very easy for me, because I travel so much anyway, to just slip into some little routine and feel comfortable in a weird place."
The train, after all, isn't your average Amtrak railcar. There are nine cars in total, including a recording studio, a video editing suite, executive lounge, observation car, Levi's sponsor car, a double-decker dinning car, two sleepers and of course a baggage car. The historic carriages were restored and run by Friends of the 261, a non-profit with a mission to promote public knowledge of railroad history.
Friedberger and I were in Cedar Rapids, the observation car at the tail of the train. Every time you entered the carriage someone reminded you it was Frank Sinatra's favorite railcar. It's also by far the best place to nap. (Choose a seat on the northwest-facing side of the train so the slanted late afternoon sunlight warms you through the windows, swivel your seat around, put your feet up on the neighboring chair and recline.)
"It's easy to go through a day and think, where did the day go," noted Friedberger. Time on the train traveled in fits and starts with the shifting terrain. "It's nice to kind of get lost." She paused a moment to look at the receding scenery through the panoramic windows in the rear of the car. "That looks so beautiful right now," she said. Conversations on the train often hushed when the landscape changed, eyes drifting from the person across from you to out the window. "I wasn't expecting there to be so many people on the train, which is great. I hope I learn everyone's name by the end of it."
Lunch and dinner in the Super Dome was a great time to get acquainted. There was a handsome bartender, Justin Carder, and a blue-eyed gentleman by the name of Al Walker who served all our meals wearing a uniform of Levi's jeans, a short-sleeved button-down and a vest.He knew everyone's food restrictions and allergies.
Alice Waters, activist and owner of the award-winning restaurant Chez Panisse in San Francisco, was responsible for the food curation at all the stops but the train was Leif Hedendal's domain. The independent chef and forager is known for his Dinner Discussion series, a monthly invite-only supper served up to artists, writers, curators, farmers and food activists in his Mission District living room. There are no set topics or speeches, just Hedendal's hope that conversations would socially engage and inform. The dining car was the perfect platform, creative types cross-pollinating at every meal.
At each stop, Hedendal's crew descended from the train to visit local farmers' markets, butcher shops and bakeries. The best green beans I've ever had came from Minneapolis.
Because we were running on Amtrak schedules we had backtracked after the Saint Paul happening, heading to Chicago again. Besides adding another full day of train travel, I thought by including this I could write about some of the experiences we were having off the train—overnights, after all, weren't spent in the sleepers—but this story isn't ours. When we arrived back in Chicago the heat wave had passed but there was tension in the air. That night, 19 year-old Miguel Delgado was fatally shot in the head in front of Nick's Beer Garden in Wicker Park, about five minutes after we had walked in. The following week the FBI would name Chicago the murder capital of America.
(I'm not going to lecture on gun control here, just offer a reminder to travelers: listen to the locals and respect their opinion, the instincts of someone who walks the streets daily will always be better than your own.)
Finally, we arrived in Kansas City, Missouri. It was a surprise stop and not included on the public schedule. Conversations I overheard on the train were that work was being done to put KC on the Station to Station website's map and timeline only after the event. As we disembarked, even the sponsors seemed unaware of what was happening the following night. The possibility of rain threatened to shut down any performances.
Word was finally released, in partnership with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and KCUR-FM, the local NPR affiliate, the day before the event. Timed to keep the crowd to a manageable size. Only a few dozen showed up for Sunday evening's free show, compared to the 200 to 2,500 at other venues. The gathering was especially intimate considering the scale and budget of the project.
Grunge/psychedelic-rock band Bloodbirds, took the stage first. Aitken, unfazed by the turnout, chatted freely with attendees, wearing the same dangling nametag—'Doug' scrawled in black permanent marker—he'd had around his neck all week.
Conquerors, a hazy psych/garage-rock band, played to an energized audience. The LED lights on the train that was serving as a backdrop to the stage pulsated along with the music. Finally, Friedberger took the stage for a solo set. Later, she invited Tim Koh, bassist for Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, and Justin Stanley, music producer for Station, to accompany her for a few songs. The night ended without fanfare, a marching band or an auction. The crowd slouched towards their homes and the crew to their hotel a few blocks away. There was no mention of the event in The Kansas City Star or The Pitch, the city's free alternative weekly.

HOUSTON - A driver has been charged in connection with a multivehicle collision that killed a man.
Mytreka Neshell Ealem, 31, has been charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Houston police said Ealem was driving a Ford Expedition southbound on state Highway 6 near Westheimer about 4:50 p.m. Wednesday.
Detectives said Ealem crossed the center divider and collided with a Ford Escape that was traveling northbound.
Ealem then hit a Hyundai Santa Fe, police said. The driver of the Santa Fe lost control and was hit by two more vehicles, investigators said.
Two people in the back seat of the Santa Fe were thrown out of the vehicle, officials said.
A 42-year-old male passenger died at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, investigators said. His name has not been released. The other passenger was hospitalized in serious condition.
Detectives said Ealem was under the influence of illegal narcotics at the time of the wreck.

Alex Paulus Art Exhibit at Vol State
Submitted on January 07, 2013 at 11:02 AM
Memphis artist Alex Paulus brings his collage art work to Volunteer State Community College this winter in an exhibition that runs from January 8 to February 9.
"This group of works is an exploration of the human impact on the universe, as well as what humans think they know about the space they occupy," said Paulus. "The pieces range from ancient aliens to planetary debris and are executed with minimal imagery and color. The minimalism of the pieces represents the vastness of space that is all around us. This space can make you feel extremely insignificant, but it also demands to be investigated. The pieces are ultimately about exploring the unknown and passing on information to the next generation of living beings."
Paulus has a BFA from Southeast Missouri State University and a MFA from Memphis College of Arts. He works in painting, drawing, collage, photography and video.

January 14th, 2013
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Meg Ryan was onto something - January 14 is National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day.
Like most good life inventions, pastrami was created out of necessity. The preparation, which includes curing the meat, was ideal for saving valuable protein back when refrigeration didn't exist. The Romanian word for preserve - a păstra - is considered the root word of "pastrami."
Pastrami came to the U.S. via the Romanian Jews who settled in New York. Sussman Volk, a butcher, claimed to have introduced the hot pastrami sandwich in 1887 at his Delancey Street deli. As the story goes, in return for letting an acquaintance store some luggage at his shop, Volk got the man's pastrami recipe.
At first, Sussman sold the meat in chunks, but then started slicing it thickly and putting it on bread with some mustard. He started selling out of the meat almost immediately and soon turned his butcher shop into a restaurant.

Ambush at the Lovegood House
this wiki
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "I've got him! I've got him!"
- —Xenophilius Lovegood telling the Death Eaters he has Harry Potter.[src]
There was an attempted ambush at the Lovegood House when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger visited Xenophilius Lovegood during the Christmas holidays of 1997, during the height of the Second Wizarding War. Xenophilius, after telling the trio about the legend of the Deathly Hallows, tried to turn them over to the Death Eaters in order to get back his abducted daughter. They narrowly managed to escape.
- Hermione: "Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna's father. I want to go and talk to him!"
- Harry: "Er – why?"
- Hermione: "It's that mark, the mark in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Look at this!... It keeps cropping up, doesn't it? I know Viktor said it was Grindelwald's mark, but it was definitely on that old grave in Godric's Hollow, and the dates on the headstone were long before Grindelwald came along! And now this! Well, we can't ask Dumbledore or Grindelwald what it means – I don't even know whether Grindelwald's still alive – but we can ask Mr. Lovegood. He was wearing the symbol at the wedding. I'm sure this is important, Harry!"
- — Hermione and Harry[src]
After Harry Potter and Hermione Granger visited Godric's Hollow on Christmas Eve, they became aware of a connection between Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald, Godric's Hollow, and a symbol in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The same symbol had been found on the grave of Ignotus Peverell in Godric's Hollow, and had been worn by Xenophilius Lovegood at the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. Hermione thought that Dumbledore may have wanted them to figure out the connection, as he had left the book to her in his will and they were at a loss as to where to find the other Horcruxes.
Although Harry was sceptical, Ron Weasley – who had just returned to his friends using the Deluminator Dumbledore left him, and destroyed the locket Horcrux – agreed with Hermione, partly because she was still furious with him for leaving and he wanted to get back on her good side. Thus, the trio headed for the Lovegood House to question Xenophilius, though they were also eager to see Luna.[2]
An Unexpected Welcome
- Harry: "We need some help."
- Xenophilius: "Ah, help, hmm. Yes. The thing is…helping Harry Potter…rather dangerous…"
- Ron: "Aren't you the one who keeps telling everyone it's their first duty to help Harry? In that magazine of yours?"
- — Xenophilius's odd behaviour[src]
To their surprise, Xenophilius did not greet them warmly when they arrived. His magazine The Quibbler, along with the radio programme Potterwatch, were the only media outlets telling the truth about the atrocities being committed under Lord Voldemort's regime and advocating support of Harry and the Order of the Phoenix. Yet Xenophilius seemed reluctant to let the trio into his house and remained uncomfortable throughout their conversation.
Hermione pointed out the Erumpent horn in the Lovegoods' living room, as they are combustible and dangerous items to have. Xenophilius, however, was adamant that it was the horn of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. He also began to waffle when they told him that they needed his help. When they prompted him to get Luna Lovegood, he wandered off saying he would – but in fact called Death Eaters at the Ministry of Magic with the news that Harry Potter was in his home.[2]
- Ron: "Cowardly old wart. Luna's got ten times his guts."
- Harry: "He's probably worried about what'll happen to them if the Death Eaters find out I was here."
- Hermione: "Well, I agree with Ron. Awful old hypocrite, telling everyone else to help you and trying to worm out of it himself. And for heaven's sake, keep away from that horn."
- — The trio when Xenophilius steps out, allegedly to get his daughter[src]
The Deathly Hallows
- Xenophilius: "Now, how may I help you, Mr. Potter?"
- Harry: "Well, it's about that symbol you were wearing around your neck at Bill and Fleur's wedding, Mr. Lovegood. We wondered what it meant."
- Xenophilius: "Are you referring to the sign of the Deathly Hallows?"
- — Harry and Xenophilius Lovegood[src]
- Hermione: "'There were once three brothers who were traveling along a long, winding road at twilight-'"
- Ron: "Midnight, our mum always told us. Sorry, I just think it's a bit spookier if it's midnight!"
- Harry: "Yeah, because we really need a bit more fear in our lives."
- — Hermione reads from The Tales of Beedle the Bard[src]
When she finished, Xenophilius explained that the items in the fairy tale were the Deathly Hallows – the Elder Wand, the Invisibility cloak, and the Resurrection Stone. Harry, Ron and Hermione were all very sceptical, though gradually, Harry came to believe that there could be truth to the story, given the similarities between his own Invisibility cloak and the one of legend. Xenophilius also expressed the belief that it was the Peverell brothers who were described in the story.
Xenophilius stepped into the kitchen and Harry looked into Luna's room – only to notice that it looked as if it hadn't been touched in weeks. When they questioned Xenophilius, he became alarmed, and everybody drew their wands. Hermione then spotted the newest issue of The Quibbler, which had a picture of Harry on the cover with the title "Undesirable Number One" and a reward amount for his capture, which Voldemort put up the reward from 2,000 galleons to 200,000 galleons because all finding of him was coming up a fail as he always escaped.[3]
- Harry: "The Quibbler's going for a new angle, then? Is that what you were doing when you went into the garden, Mr. Lovegood? Sending an owl to the Ministry?"
- Xenophilius: "They took my Luna because of what I've been writing. They took my Luna and I don't know where she is, what they've done to her. But they might give her back to me if I – if I… They will be here any moment. I must save Luna. I cannot lose Luna. You must not leave."
- — Xenophilius as he blocks the exit[src]
Xenophilius revealed that Death Eaters had captured his daughter Luna in order to force him to cease his public political dissention. He alerted the Voldemort-controlled Ministry that Harry was in his home in the hopes that they would return Luna in exchange.
The trio was momentarily distracted as two figures on broomsticks flew past the window, and Xenophilius shot a Stunning Spell at them, but Harry shoved his friends out of the way and the spell struck the Erumpent horn. Just as Hermione had warned, it exploded. Xenophilius was blown down the spiral stairs and the house was left mostly a wreck. The trio stayed quiet as they heard Death Eaters Selwyn and Travers enter the ruined house a floor below.[3]
- Selwyn: "You lying piece of filth. You have never seen Potter in your life, have you? Thought you'd lure us here to kill us, did you? And you think you'll get your girl back like this?"
- Xenophilius: "I swear...I swear...Potter's upstairs!... Please...please...give me Luna, just let me have Luna..."
- Selwyn: "You can have your little girl, Lovegood, if you get up those stairs and bring me down Harry Potter. But if this is a plot, if it's a trick, if you've got an accomplice waiting up there to ambush us, we'll see if we can spare a bit of your daughter for you to bury."
- — the Death Eaters threatening Xenophilius[src]
The Death Eaters beat and tortured Xenophilius briefly, convinced that he was lying about Harry being there and furious for him wasting their time. He insisted that he was telling the truth and begged that they return his daughter. Travers cast Homenum Revelio, and thus detected that there were people upstairs. They sent Xenophilius up.
Hermione told Harry and Ron to trust her, threw the Invisibility Cloak over Ron, took Harry's hand and had Ron put one on her shoulder, and aimed her wand at the stairs. When Xenophilius emerged, Hermione hit him with a Memory Charm and then blasted the floor beneath them. Travers and Selwyn caught a glimpse of her and Harry just before Hermione Disapparated all three of them.[3]
- Hermione: "Harry, this isn't a game, this isn't practice! This is the real thing, and Dumbledore left you very clear instructions: Find and destroy the Horcruxes! That symbol doesn't mean anything, forget the Deathly Hallows, we can't afford to get sidetracked… You don't believe in this, do you?"
- Ron: "I dunno…I mean…bits of it sort of fit together, but when you look at the whole thing… I think we're supposed to get rid of Horcruxes, Harry. That's what Dumbledore told us to do. Maybe…maybe we should forget about this Hallows business."
- — Hermione and Ron's opinion of the Deathly Hallows[src]
Once they were safe, Hermione explained that she had hid Ron so that his story that he was sick at home with spattergroit was maintained, and let the Death Eaters see her and Harry so that they did not punish Xenophilius or Luna for seemingly lying to them.
The trio then discussed the Deathly Hallows – Hermione was the most convinced that they did not exist, though Ron was also sceptical. Both were worried by Harry's interest in the Resurrection Stone. He also realized that Voldemort was seeking the Elder Wand.[4]
Over the next few weeks, Harry became increasingly obsessed with the Deathly Hallows, and annoyed with his friends for their scepticism and insistence that they should keep seeking the Horcruxes, as Dumbledore had instructed them. Although the Deathly Hallows ultimately were revealed to exist, Harry realized that Ron and Hermione were right in persevering with the destruction of Voldemort's Horcruxes. It was this, as well as the Elder Wand's loyalty to Harry, that enabled him to defeat Voldemort once and for all during the Battle of Hogwarts.

WVU hampers the Hokies
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The day before West Virginia was to host unbeaten Virginia Tech, Bob Huggins seemed mildly perturbed by a question regarding the Hokies and their high-octane offense. What sort of a challenge was it, he was asked, to face the nation's third-best scoring team?
"Honestly, you can ask them about handling a team that guards like us,'' Huggins replied. "I think we'll do a better job of guarding them than people have. I think that's what it's going to come down to.''
And, indeed, it did.
The fact is that in stark contrast to the school's football team - which won not a single game this season because of its defensive prowess - Huggins' basketball team may win very few this winter because of its offense.
Yes, there were offensive moments at which to marvel during Saturday's 68-67 win over the no-longer-unbeaten Hokies. Chief among them were the shocking 3-pointers rained down by post players Kevin Noreen and Aaric Murray.
But this was also a team whose three primary backcourt players missed 22 of the 25 shots they took. It's a team that shot just 35.3 percent, which is not far from the norm (39.8 percent) through seven games. It's a team whose starters score but 32 points and whose foul shooters, after an unusually successful performance three nights earlier against Marshall, were once again just that - foul (10 of 18, 55.6 percent).
But for the third straight game, West Virginia's defense put it to a team whose primary strength was outscoring opponents.
"Our biggest job was just to defend them,'' said point guard Juwan Staten, who not only made the winning layup with 5 seconds to play (his only field goal of the game), but stayed in the face of Tech's Erick Green (the nation's No. 2 individual scorer) and was a big reason he didn't hit his potential game-winner at the buzzer. "I don't think they'd been guarded like that before.''
No, Tech had seldom been guarded closely or aggressively this season during a 7-0 start. The Hokies were shooting nearly 50 percent from the floor (48.3), but shot just 41.5 percent against West Virginia, a season low.
That's about the norm for West Virginia opponents through seven games (41.3 percent) and it will likely have to continue if the Mountaineers are going to win games.
Of course, offensively WVU has to get something going and eventually will. There are too many decent shooters on the roster to continue shooting under 40 percent as a team, but the Mountaineers probably are going to have to use their defense and rebounding to generate points.
They did part of that against Virginia Tech by getting 23 offensive rebounds, but they have yet to begin using that defense to score easy baskets, which was something Huggins has tried to emphasize since the start of practice. That defense forced Tech into five turnovers in the first 15 minutes Saturday, but then just one more after that.
Afterward, Huggins wasn't complaining about the lack of offense generated by defense, but he knows that eventually that has to begin happening. For now, though, having a defense that simply shuts opponents down even without forcing turnovers is enough.
BRIEFLY: West Virginia has a short turnaround for its next game. The Mountaineers face Duquesne (5-4) Tuesday night at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. The Dukes beat New Orleans, 88-70, Saturday, three days after losing by 21 to Pitt.
After that comes Saturday night's game with Michigan at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. John Beilein's team is 9-0, ranked No. 3 in the polls, No. 2 in the Rating Percentage Index and has the ninth-toughest schedule according to the RPI.

Women in many parts of the world, especially in Africa, still face critical challenges due to a deeply entrenched patriarchal system and gender stereotypes in society.
Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold authority over and control women, children and property and inheritance is through the male lineage.
Gender stereotypes are simplistic generalisations or value judgments about gender attributes, differences and roles of individuals and groups. They are often harmful for they suppress individual expression and creativity and hinder personal and professional growth.
When people apply these simplistic assumptions or value judgments to others, they are consciously or unconsciously perpetuating gender stereotyping and unintelligent prejudice.
In some societies men think women are inferior to them and would not like to see them fully emancipated from this yoke of oppression. Some
do not want to work under a woman and others do not want to be led by a woman because they think to be man you have to oppress a woman!
The media has played an active role in reporting on women's issues and empowering them to fight for their rights and against gender stereotypes and violence and harmful practices in line with goal number 3 of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which is about promoting gender parity and empowering women.
Some public leaders, parents, women role models, international organisations, gender-sensitive men, capacity building programmes, gender advocacy organisations and activists are also fighting for
women's rights and against attitudes and practices that humiliate, dehumanise and oppress women in society.
As a result, there is growing understanding that men and women are equal in dignity and should be accorded equal respect and opportunities to realise their potential. In short, men and women should treat each other as independent.
This was said at a videoconference workshop on leadership dynamics for senior women managers organised by the Tanzania Global Development
Learning Centre (TGDLC) in collaboration with the Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) last week.
The workshop, which ran from Monday to Friday, utilised research findings that identify key factors that have proven vital to successful women leaders.
It aims at helping women develop self-confidence to realise their career potential and internalize practical skills required to lead themselves and others effectively and targets women managers who have the potential to take senior leadership roles in their organisations and who would welcome the opportunity to develop their self-confidence and leadership skills in a supportive manner.
In this way, women will be able to handle better some of the critical challenges facing them in leadership roles, recognise self-limiting behaviour and attitudes and act with more confidence, articulate an inspiring vision, apply techniques for increasing visibility and impact at work, assert themselves and influence others more effectively and create support to sustain personal and social progress beyond the workshop.
Analysing the type of chores men and women do daily from dawn to bedtime in both urban and rural areas, Kenyan and Tanzanian participants unanimously said women carried a heavier workload than men although they counted less in the eyes of men because of the patriarchal system and gender stereotypes, which had to be fought against at all cost.
"A rural or urban woman normally wakes up early in the morning to prepare children for school, prepare breakfast, prepare her husband's clothes and shoes and so on until late night. If a woman can manage such a heavy workload from 05:00-22:00 or beyond on her own and still have time to do other duties, it means she is a good manager," said Kenyan speaker Jane Mwangi.
Participants also said since men had been in leadership roles for quite a long time they were afraid of letting capable women of becoming leaders and being challenged.
However, they said there were both in Kenya and Tanzania gender policy achievements. These include, more enrolment of girls in schools, an increase in the
number of senior managerial positions for women, an increase in the number of women representatives in parliament and establishment of gender desks, which they said empowered them to explore their leadership potential and contribute positively to social development.
"The stereotype view of women as housewives is archaic and has no justification. Men and women ought to complement rather than trample on each other on a gender basis," said Dr Ellen Otaru-Okoedian, a facilitator at TGDLC. Dr Otaru-Okoedian is an educationist, who is proud of being what she is and cannot accept to be trampled on by men simply because she is a woman.
The Kenyan and Tanzanian development learning centres (DLCs) have been providing a practical platform for capacity training programmes and peer interaction.
The workshop came just a few days after the International Women's Day was held on March 8 to celebrate women's achievements across the world. Although much progress has been made to protect and promote women's rights, nowhere in the world can women claim to have all the same rights and opportunities as men, according to the United Nations Organisation.
UN statistics show that the majority of the world's 1.3 billion absolute poor are women. On average, women receive between 30 and 40 per cent less pay than men earn for the same work.
Women also continue to be victims of violence, rape and domestic violence listed as significant causes of disability and death among women worldwide.
The first International Women's Day occurred on March 19 in 1911.
The inaugural event, which included rallies and organised meetings, was a big success in countries such as Austria, Denmark, Germany and
Switzerland. The March 19 date was chosen because it commemorated the day that the Prussian king promised to introduce votes for women in 1848. The promise gave hope for equality but it was a promise that he failed to keep. The International Women's Day date was moved to March 8 in 1913.
The UN drew global attention to women's concerns in 1975 by calling for an International Women's Year. It also convened the first conference on women in Mexico City that year. The UN General Assembly
then invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for Women's Rights and International Peace in 1977. The day aimed at helping nations worldwide eliminate discrimination against women. It also focused on helping women gain full and equal participation in global development. International Men's Day is celebrated on November 19 each year.
The theme of this year's International Women's Day is "Empower Rural Women - End Hunger and Poverty". So, the theme fits well the videoconference workshop on leadership dynamics for senior women managers for that matter for it links empowering women to ending hunger and poverty.
Some women contend that, empowering women means creating opportunities that enable both men and women to access basic needs and services without discrimination and not favouring them to hold certain high positions or go for further studies.
If one can favour women to join politics or go for further studies, one can also create an enabling environment for them to explore their potential. The latter is preferable to the former.
Let us fight against all oppressive systems and practices that favour one class of gender and oppress the other for we all need each other and no gender is better than or above the other.

Charlie bought Billy Black's truck for Bella when she decided to move to Forks to live with him. It was a gift to show his appreciation for her moving in.
Bella was hesitant to like it at first, worried that it would cost too much money to keep up and that it might be in bad condition, but as soon as she saw it, she knew it was perfect for her.
Bella thought about ramming Edward's Volvo with her truck when he set it up so that Tyler would ask her to the spring dance.
Both Edward and Charlie were worried about the truck making the trip up to Seattle from Forks, though Bella only worried about how much gas it would take.
The truck "died" before the beginning of Breaking Dawn, and it was replaced when Edward lent Bella a Mercedes Guardian, and later a red Ferrari.
It's described as a 50's-60's faded red/orange truck, bought by Billy Black in the 80's and frequently repaired by both himself and Jacob. Billy didn't want to sell it, but lost his need for it when he became disabled. On Stephenie Meyer's website, it is said that her truck is a 1953 Chevy Pick-up truck.
In the movie, Bella's truck is a 1963 Chevy StepSide C-10 pickup.

prev | next
The Congress hereby declares that the educational program established by this chapter is for the purpose of providing opportunities for education to children whose education would otherwise be impeded or interrupted by reason of the disability or death of a parent from a disease or injury incurred or aggravated in the Armed Forces after the beginning of the Spanish-American War, and for the purpose of aiding such children in attaining the educational status which they might normally have aspired to and obtained but for the disability or death of such parent. The Congress further declares that the educational program extended to the surviving spouses of veterans who died of service-connected disabilities and to spouses of veterans with a service-connected total disability permanent in nature is for the purpose of assisting them in preparing to support themselves and their families at a standard of living level which the veteran, but for the veteran's death or service disability, could have expected to provide for the veteran's family.
