I've worn my boots everyday for 2 years, they are the most comfortable boot I've ever had. I'm a bigger guy so that usually means I wear things out quicker, but these boots are still as comfortable as the day I bought them.

The person saying these boots are heavy and un even has only ever worn tennis shoes I'm sure. These boots are great worn mine almost everyday for 6 months now and still going. And I abuse them. Very comfortable still. The 9.5ee fit me a hair tight so I got the 10ee and it stretched slightly so this tI'm I intend to get 9.5ee. Best steel toe ever also. I'm on a roof a lot and a steel toe normally is awful up there do digging into my toes. So the Sq steel toe is awesome plenty of room

- Disappointed Review by Darrell Langford
Quality Price Value
I recently purchased these boots online, once I received them and tried them on I then realized how uncomfortable they were...they were very heavy and to try and walk in them was almost impossible because they were so uneven. I decided to return them to my local Rural King where I was disappointed more... They would only refund me $134.99 because that's what the store sells them for even though I paid $149.99 online. I will not stop shopping Rural King however from my experience I will only shop in store. Hopefully others have better luck than myself.

Fame Bites goes inside the belly of the entertainment beast. We're dishing out where the celebrities are eating, what they're eating and who they're eating with.
For most of us, football food means hot wings and pizza but have you ever wondered how the players chow down?
The Green Bay Packers' six foot three inch, 285 pound defensive end Jarius Wynn takes his food regimen very seriously and is as disciplined off the field as he is on. The Super Bowl champ loves his family, his football and his Macadamia nut cookies, but he does takes time out for a three week soul food eating sabbatical every year.
And about those Wisconsin cheese curds...
Eatocracy: Do you like to cook?
Jarius Wynn: Yes, I can cook everything, but I'm not too good at cooking macaroni and cheese from scratch. It just never turns out right, but everything else I can cook pretty well.
I like to cook on the grill - steaks, chicken, ribs and burgers. I get that from my dad. My dad is trying to open his own barbecue business.

Rebuilding New Orleans: applying ecological economics and ecological engineering
Hurricane Katrina is estimated to be the largest natural disaster in U.S. history (Figures 1 and 2), killing more than 1,800 people and causing tens of billions of dollars in damage. Massive resources will go towards the restoration of New Orleans and the Mississippi delta. While some have argued that it does not make sense to rebuild New Orleans at all, given its highly vulnerable location, others have raised broad questions about how the city and region should be restored. It is clear that enormous public resources are going to be spent and some form of rebuilding is going to occur, not least of all because the Mississippi River in the New Orleans region is home to the largest port in the nation and one-quarter to one-third of oil and gas used in the nation is either generated or shipped through the north central Gulf. So, the real question is not if but how it should be rebuilt. There are two broad options: (1) essentially replace what was there before; or (2) use this tragedy as an opportunity to create something substantially different and better.
Option 1 seems to be largely the direction being taken so far. The Army Corps of Engineers has been actively working to rebuild the levees to their pre-storm status of being able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane and there is discussion of rebuilding all of the levees to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and even of building a Category 5 levee system across most of the Louisiana coast. There is already serious doubt as to whether a rapidly reconstructed levee will provide the needed protection and even if the rebuilding is successful, it will merely be setting the pins up to be knocked down again by a future, even larger hurricane. In addition, the increasing cost of energy will probably make such a levee system unsustainable. In the meantime, the city of New Orleans faces a combination of worsening problems, including: (1) likely increases in intensity of tropical storms due to global warming; (2) the continued sinking of the city due to land subsidence and sea level rise, albeit at a slower pace than in the past; and (3) the continued destruction of the coastal wetlands that serve as the city's storm protection barrier (in addition to the many other ecosystem services they provide).
Option 2 seems to be the only viable and sustainable option, but it has so far received little serious attention. This article elaborates on a substantially different vision of a truly new New Orleans – one that can provide a sustainable and high quality of life for all its citizens, while working in partnership (not in opposition) with the natural forces that shaped it. This New Orleans can also serve more generally as a model for sustainable development.
Hurricane Katrina
That New Orleans would be devastated by a major hurricane was unfortunately both predictable and predicted. It was clear from studies published in the past 50 years that New Orleans was becoming more vulnerable with each passing year. The wetlands surrounding New Orleans provide protection from storm surges. These wetlands area result of 6 millennia of land building but they have been lost at an average rate of 65 km2 (~25 mi2) per year since the turn of the century (Figure 3). The barrier islands were rapidly eroding as well. Almost 5000 km2 (1800 mi2) of coastal wetlands have been lost since the 1930s, and the situation has continued to deteriorate. Figure 4 shows the loss of coastal wetlands projected to occur by the year 2050. This forecast was made before Hurricane Katrina, and 100% of the projected loss actually occurred during the storm.
The cause of this dramatic land loss was a combination of natural and human forces. For millennia, the natural process of geologic subsidence was counterbalanced by riverine inputs into a deltaic plain characterized by natural hydrology. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries, there was a massive disruption of the hydrology of the delta. Riverine input was drastically reduced by the creation of levees, and the closure of distributaries and the internal hydrology of the delta were pervasively altered, mainly due to canal dredging for oil and gas exploration and extraction. As a result, the blanket of freshwater, sediments, and nutrients from the Mississippi River basin that used to spread across the delta is no longer there. The heavily managed Mississippi River was forced to dump most of its load off the continental shelf into the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the wetlands deteriorated due to canal dredging, subsidence, and saltwater intrusion.
The Atchafalaya River, a branch of the Mississippi River that now carries one-third of the Mississippi's flow, discharges into shallow waters of the delta and has both built new deltaic lands and protected a large area of existing wetlands along the central Louisiana coast. The history of the Atchafalaya delta shows that appropriately managed river discharges and hydrologic restoration (by removing canal spoil banks) can result in net marsh creation and counteract the forces of land loss.
The mainstem Mississippi River was managed to allow deepwater shipping and commerce in the New Orleans region and throughout the Mississippi basin, as well as to impede flooding of developed areas, but this management regime ultimately led to the situation that made New Orleans so vulnerable. The net result has been that the people who lived below sea level in New Orleans were in more danger every year from: (1) the potential for river flooding; (2) the disappearance of surrounding wetlands due to both restriction of river input and internal hydrological alterations; and (3) the deteriorating levees, which were under continued strain due to age and increasing hydrologic demands. So, what happened in New Orleans, while a terrible "natural" disaster, was also the cumulative result of excessive and inappropriate management of the Mississippi River and delta, inadequate emergency preparation, a failure to act in time on plans to restore the wetlands and storm protection levees, and the expansion of the city into increasingly vulnerable areas. Many of the areas that are now below sea level (Figure 5) were not always so. Up until the first quarter of the 20th century, most of the city was above sea level, either on the natural levee of the river or on older ridges formed by earlier courses of the river. However, the drainage of the wetlands between the natural levee along the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain promoted soil oxidation and rapid subsidence (Figure 6) in many parts of the city.
Wetland restoration
Increasing the area of coastal wetlands through ecological engineering provides a very cost-effective and sustainable approach for providing hurricane protection to human settlements in coastal Louisiana. Wetlands will provide an important and sustainable buffer against storm surges and wave action generated by tropical storms and hurricanes. Coastal ecosystems such as marshes and forested wetlands, whether naturally occurring or ecologically engineered, play a significant role in reducing the influence of hurricanes and even tsunami waves. The mechanisms involved include decreasing the area of open water (fetch) for wind to form waves, increased drag on water motion and hence the amplitude of a storm surge, a reduction in direct wind effect on the water surface, and direct absorption of of wave energy.
While few experimental studies or modeling efforts have specifically addressed the effect of coastal marshes on storm surges, anecdotal data accumulated after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 in Louisiana suggested that storm surge was reduced about 4.7 cm/km of marsh (3 in/mile of marsh). Extrapolating from this number, a storm tracking from the south of New Orleans through existing coastal marshes could have its surge reduced by 3.66 m (12 feet) if it crossed 80 km (50 miles) of marsh before reaching the city.
Since marsh plants hold and accrete sediments, often reduce sediment re-suspension, and consequently maintain shallow water depths, the presence of vegetation contributes in two ways: first by actually decreasing surges and waves, and also by maintaining the shallow depths that have the same effect. Because wetlands indicate shallow water, the presence of wetland vegetation is also an "indicator" of the degree to which New Orleans and other human settlements are protected.
What do we want to restore?
Before discussing options for restoring New Orleans, we need to consider what we are trying to restore and why. The conventional approach to economic development focuses only on the market economy – the value of those goods and services that are exchanged for money. The purpose is usually taken to be to maximize the value of these goods and services – with the assumption that the more activity, the better off we are. Thus, the more GDP (which measures aggregate activity in the market economy), the better. However, the purpose of the regional economy should be broader – to provide for the sustainable well-being of people. That goal encompasses material well-being, certainly, but also anything else that affects well-being and its sustainability. Moreover, there is a substantial amount of new research that demonstrates the limits of conventional economic income and consumption in contributing to well-being. In addition, there is growing evidence that ecological systems produce a range of services that support human well-being. Ecosystem services occur at many scales, from climate regulation at the global scale, to flood and storm protection, soil formation, fisheries, nutrient cycling, recreation, and aesthetic services at the local and regional scales. It has been estimated that the annual, non-market value of the Earth's ecosystem services is a great deal larger than global GDP.
So, if we want to assess the "real" economy – all the things which contribute to real, sustainable, human well-being – as opposed to only the "market" economy, we have to measure the non-marketed contributions to human well-being from nature, from family, friends, and other social relationships, at many scales, as well as from health and education. One convenient way to summarize these contributions is to group them into four basic types of capital that are necessary to support the real, human well-being-producing economy: built capital, human capital, social capital, and natural capital.
Coastal wetlands in Louisiana have been estimated to provide $940 ha–1 yr–1 ($375 ac–1 yr–1 – these and all subsequent figures have been converted to 2004 US dollars) in storm and flood protection services. Restoring Louisiana's coastal wetlands and New Orleans levees has been estimated to cost about $25 billion. Had the original wetlands and other natural features, such as barrier islands and natural ridges, been intact and the levees in better shape, a substantial portion of the $100 billion plus damages from this hurricane would have been avoided. Prevention would have been much cheaper and more effective than reconstruction. In addition, the coastal wetlands provide other ecosystem services which, when added to the storm protection services, are estimated to be worth about $12 700 ha–1 yr–1 ($5200 ac–1 yr–1). Restoring the 4800 km2 (480 000 ha) of wetlands lost prior to Katrina would thus restore $6 billion yr–1 in lost ecosystem services, or $200 billion in present value (at a 3% discount rate).
Seven principals for the restoration of New Orleans and coastal Louisiana
The natural, built, human, and social capital assets of New Orleans have been radically depleted and need to be rebuilt. We can recreate the vulnerable and unsustainable city that was there before, or we can reinvent New Orleans as a new model of a sustainable and desirable city of the future. Here are some elements of a truly sustainable vision, based on ecological engineering and economics.
- Let the water decide. Building a city below sea level is always a dangerous proposition. While parts of New Orleans are still at or above sea level, much of it had sunk well below sea level since the first quarter of the 20th century. It is not sustainable or desirable to rebuild these areas in the same way they were before. They should either be replaced with wetlands that are allowed to trap sediments to rebuild the land (see below), or replaced with buildings that are adapted to occasional flooding (i.e., on pilings or floats). Wetlands inside the levees can help clean waters, store short-term flood waters, provide habitat for wildlife, and become an amenity for the city.
- Avoid abrupt boundaries between deepwater systems and uplands. Gentle slopes with barrier islands, shallow waterbodies, wetlands, and natural ridges are the best division, and avoid putting humans, particularly those who have few resources to avoid hydrologic disasters, in harm's way. The abrupt boundaries of the levees are necessary, since natural features such as wetlands and barrier islands alone cannot protect the city, but we need to use both, as appropriate. The idea of avoiding abrupt boundaries is included in the idea of multiple lines of defense, where all of these features are integrated into a comprehensive flood protection system.
- Restore natural capital. A healthy economy requires a balance of built, human, social, and natural capital. Because of its enormous size (about 25 000 km2) and productivity, the Mississippi delta is perhaps the most concentrated area of natural capital in North America. This is reflected in the largest fishery and most important flyway terminus in the U.S., abundant fish and wildlife, high water cleansing ability, and high storm protection services. As discussed earlier, restoring the 4800 km2 of wetlands lost prior to Katrina would provide a host of valuable ecosystem services, worth roughly $6 billion yr–1, or $200 billion in present value (at a 3% discount rate).
- To do this we should use the resources of the Mississippi River to rebuild the coast, changing the current system that constrains the river between levees. Diversions of water, nutrients, and sediments, such as those envisioned in the LCA plan, should be greatly expanded in order to allow more rapid restoration of the coastal wetlands. Levees are necessary in some locations, but where possible the levees should be breeched by structures in a controlled way, to allow marsh rebuilding. Reopening old distributaries and crevasse formation are two additional ways to reconnect the river to the deltaic plain. The reconnection of the river should be integrated with other features, such as barrier island restoration, wise use of dredged sediments, and extensive canal and spoil bank removal, to develop a comprehensive restoration plan. Other restoration resources, such as treated municipal effluent and upland runoff, should also be used.
- Restore the built capital of New Orleans to the highest standards of high-performance green buildings and a car-limited urban environment, with high mobility for everyone. New Orleans has abundant renewable energy sources in the form of sun, wind, and water. What better message than to build a 21st century sustainable city, running on renewable energy, on the rubble of a 20th century oil and gas production hub.
- Rebuild the social capital of New Orleans to 21st century standards of diversity, tolerance, fairness, and justice. New Orleans has suffered long enough with social capital dating from the 18th (or even the15th) century. To do this the planning and implementation of the rebuilding must maximize participation by the entire community. This will certainly be difficult for a number of reasons, including the historical antecedents of racism and classism in the region, and the fact that much of the population has been forcibly removed from the city. Yet it is absolutely essential if the goals of a sustainable and desirable future are to be achieved.
- Finally, we should restore the Mississippi River Basin to minimize coastal pollution and the threats of river flooding in New Orleans. Upstream changes in the 3 million km2 Mississippi drainage basin have substantially changed nutrient and sediment delivery patterns to the delta. Changes in farming practices in the drainage basin can improve not only the coastal restoration process, but also improve the nation's agricultural economy by promoting sustainable farming practices in the entire basin.
The restoration of New Orleans and the rest of the Mississippi delta can become another expensive disaster waiting to happen, or it can become a model of sustainable development. If it is the latter, it could be a truly unique inspiration to billions of people around the world. What better way to say to the world "look at what can be accomplished" than to create a sustainable and desirable city, shining like a jewel on the Mississippi, where all the streetcars run on renewable energy and are named "desirable."

The Prisoners' Dilemma
The Gitmo detainees get their day in court. Sort of.
Gibbons does make his point that the United States exercises de facto control over Guantanamo: "If one of the detainees here assaulted another detainee in Guantanamo, there's no question they'd be prosecuted under American law," he notes. It's sure as heck not Cuban law controlling there, he suggests, adding: "A stamp with Fidel Castro's picture on it couldn't get a letter off the base." Before he closes, Gibbons reminds the justices of the extreme implications of the administration's position, saying the executive branch has created in Guantanamo "a no-law zone, not accountable to any judiciary, anywhere."
Solicitor General Ted Olson then presents the president's side of the case. Nothing in his performance betrays the fact that his wife died on one of those planes, at the hands of terrorists just like the ones we may be holding at Guantanamo. Olson opens with a reminder that the United States is at war, that there are 10,000 American troops in Afghanistan today, and that Congress almost unanimously authorized the president to use "all necessary and appropriate force" against those who attacked us.
Stevens, who proves himself spryer than a young Christina Aguilera today, asks whether Olson would take a different position if the war were over. Olson says there would still be no jurisdiction. "So the war is irrelevant," says Stevens, highlighting the fact that the president's commander-in-chief powers seemingly have no "use by" date.
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, whom everyone watches like a hawk today, again, asks whether there would be a different result if the detainees were Americans. Olson says he would acknowledge U.S. courts' jurisdiction over U.S. citizens. Souter goes back to whether Eisentrager simply decided that U.S. courts had no jurisdiction or whether it looked at the merits of the German prisoners' claims. Olson proceeds to read great swaths of the opinion since it remains his best argument.
O'Connor suggests briefly that she might distinguish Eisentrager. She notes that it seemed to reach the merits of the case, and, "These people had a trial."
Shortly thereafter, Olson starts to retreat from his claim that American detainees at Guantanamo could claim that U.S. courts have jurisdiction. Scalia helps Olson out by reminding him that citizens have constitutional rights that would allow jurisdiction. (All of this is throat-clearing for next week's Padilla and Hamdi cases, in which U.S. citizens are detained without charges).
Kennedy is unimpressed. "This is a prisoner, detained by the United States," he says, noting that this sounds like what's contemplated under the federal habeas statute. Justice Breyer thinks the court can find a middle ground between the two extremes of perpetual detention without oversight and sweeping rights for every enemy soldier. Suggesting that the Bush lock-'em-up-forever rule does have the beauty of clarity, it leaves "the executive free to do whatever they want" without a check and gets in the way of 200 years of history. Appreciating that the executive branch does not want "undue court interference," he asks what would be wrong with the court "helping you shape" the substantive rights of prisoners.
Olson says there is a check on the executive. Congress had 54 years to change the habeas statute after Eisentrager and chose not to (Congress, the great worrier over the rights of Nazi spies …). Scalia jumps onto the Congress-for-Supreme Court bandwagon, adding that if the people think the law is unfair, they can "change it with a stroke of a pen."
Breyer confesses to being worried about leaving a loophole for a "large category of unchecked and uncheckable detentions." He offers to tailor substantive law for these cases "to take care of the problems worrying you." But Scalia has had enough. "Do we even know what problems are worrying you?" he asks. Noting that the court has only lawyers before it, no witnesses, no evidence, he makes it clear that courts don't exist to legislate the rights of enemy combatants.
But in a few moments, it's Souter who's had it, now with the fiction that Cuba exercises control over Guantanamo. "We even protect the Cuban iguana. In bringing people from Afghanistan to Guantanamo, we are doing in functional terms exactly what we would do if we brought them to the District of Columbia."
Yes! It's true. One can't lock people in the closet under the stairs and claim they're not your stairs.

BLYTHEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Blytheville police are investigating the deaths of two people in a shooting, but officials don't expect to make any arrests.
Officers said Monday they received an emergency call about 6 a.m. Sunday of a shooting. When they arrived, they found 23-year-old Charles Whitfield and 27-year-old Timothy Hooper with gunshot wounds.
Officers say Hooper died at Great River Medical Center and Whitfield died later at a Little Rock hospital.
Investigators say during an argument between the men, Hooper produced a handgun and began threatening Whitfield. Whitfield got the gun away from Hooper, who then left the scene.
Officials say Hooper returned with another gun and the two men argued again before shooting each other.
Both bodies will be sent to the Arkansas State Medical Examiner's Office for autopsies.

The president of North Carolina's NAACP chapter says the civil-rights organization will launch a statewide effort next year to put faces on the worsening poverty problem.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported Saturday that the Rev. William Barber said at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People annual conference in High Point the tour will kick off on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is Jan. 16.
Barber says the "Faces of Poverty" tour is intended to make helping the state's neediest people part of the political agenda.
The poverty tour will begin in eastern North Carolina and move across the state spotlighting poor neighborhoods.
The NAACP is coordinating the tour with the UNC Center for Poverty, Work & Opportunity and the North Carolina Justice Center, an anti-poverty organization.

BRB, marking my territory with all these tears.
In stark contrast from the quick-cut, frenetic, club banger pace of "Work B**ch," Britney Spears' new video for "Perfume" is equal parts sweeping and tragic. Telling a tale of infidelity and betrayal, the Joseph Kahn-directed clip will definitely mark its territory all over your soul. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to learn if the original working title for "Perfume" was "Eau d'ALL THE TEARS."
Just how sad is the music video for the second single off of Britney Jean? Ummm, you've listened to the track before, right? Now imagine if that cheated-on heroine was none other than Ms. Brit-Brit herself, and the guy inspiring the "is he or isn't he" line of questioning is played by Norwegian supermodel Alexander Kjellevik.
Here, read on to see what we mean. We've broken down all 19 of the saddest "Perfume" video moments, scene by tragic scene. If you can still read your screen by the end of our rundown, then you're either illiterate or a robot. GO FORTH!
1.) When Britney and her man are all happy in the beginning. HELLO, remember the lyrics??
2.) How can Brit be so tragically powerful with only one eye?? Thank Godney she didn't use 'em both.
3.) Why the laughing? SHE ABOUT TO LOSE HIM.
4.) That moment where Britney's all, "I'm trying to be cool." You ARE cool! And funky! And email! Where's your self-confidence?? :(
5.) When you remember that your pillow at home is NOT Alexander Kjellevik's hot bod.
Watch Britney Spears' "Perfume" video after the jump.
6.) Awwwww, Britney made her man a promise ring, Kentwood-style.
7.) When Alexander first hints at his cheating. Look at that piercing, far-off stare!
OK… Maybe that's just what his supermodel eyes always look like.
8.) That perfectly pointed finger formation. Imagine all the Spearitual hand choreo we're missing!
9.) That "don't leave me" grip — does she know what's about to happen??
10.) This vision from Godney. Why is it only for a second?!
12.) Oh no, this knowing look! Alexander's infidelity comes to light!
And by TEXT MESSAGE?!?! How rude!
13.) When Britney realizes there's not enough Fantasy in the world to mask the scent of betrayal.
14.) This "Stronger"-esque scene is worrying. We thought Brit's loneliness ain't killin' her no more!
15.) Solo hotel cry — we can't!
17.) When Alexander pauses to think about what he's done, only to decide to continue cheating on Brit with
Cindy WHATEVER.
19.) Britney Spears ends up alone and heartbroken at the end of one of her videos? I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Sean Waltman bashes promoter
It appears that Sean Waltman has some backstage heat with an unnamed wrestling promoter. He stated that he was fine with people booking Chyna for their live events, but he does not like them pretending to be his friend. Waltman stated that money is more important that false rape accusations to certain people in the industry. He refuses to name names when asked about the situation.

nWo vs DX
At Wrestlemania, fans finally got to witness the much anticipated showdown between two of the greatest stables of all time, the nWo and DX. While scripting the match and segment, many backstage felt that a lot of the alliances and logic did not make sense. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were longtime enemies of Sting. Plus, they are also real life friends with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Sean Waltman. WWE went through with it anyways.

Richard Shuttleworth en
Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth was a racing motorist, aviator and prolific collector of veteran cars and aircraft. His collection forms the nucleus of the Shuttleworth Collection. Pilot Officer Shuttleworth was killed in an accident whilst flying a Fairey Battle. Shuttleworth participated in his first London to Brighton Veteran Car Run in 1928. He often entered more than one car for this event. He participated 1928–1938 except for 1935 where: "R. O. Shuttleworth failed to send in his entry before the closing date but joined up with the others at Westminster Bridge with a Benz. His companion at the wheel was Charles Martin and their hairy goat-skin coats which dated from the same period as the car, were much admired." He won the Brighton Speed Trials on a Bugatti Type 51 in 1934, and again in 1935 on an Alfa-Romeo P3 Tipo B, breaking Sir Malcolm Campbell's course record. He also won a one-off hillclimb at Joel Park, Northwood Hill, Middlesex, on 22 June 1935, on a Bugatti, in a time of 30.16 sec. His greatest victory came in the Donington Grand Prix in 1935. He won the Mountain Championship at Brooklands later that year. [ - ]

text: A Loomis woman was arrested Monday night on charges she poisoned her husband, according to Dena Erwin, Placer County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. Rachel Melody Bettencourt, 53, was booked at the Placer County Jail on charges of willful poisoning and of inflicting corporal injury to a spouse. The male victim, who remains hospitalized, told rescue personnel he became ill after consuming a beverage. On Monday, May 30, at 8:30 p.m., Placer County Sheriff's deputies were called to Sutter Roseville Medical Center at the request of South Placer Fire District officials. Firefighters had responded to Bettencourt's Tudsbury Road home and found the situation suspicious, Erwin said. Bettencourt is being held on $100,000 bail. Evidence collected at the home will be analyzed in the continuing investigation. No further information was available as of press time. Staff Report

I have been attending many talks on Secure Boot. The basic idea behind secure boot is to ensure that the bios/bootloader and kernel have not been hacked. My understanding of how this is done is everything is signed and verified during the bootup. Nothing can run in the kernel that was not signed and verified.
Then we Oracle pushing Ksplice.
I can't help but ask the question?
Is ksplice a security disaster waiting to happen?
Dan Walsh's Blog
Got SELinux?
( Read 10 comments )
Doesn't seem to be at odds...
It doesn't seem to be at odds, because if your kernel is signed, the update could be signed as well. You just need to maintain the chain of trust for the Ksplice updates.

In response to tcal2-'s comment:
It was funny listening to the announcers, they were shocked a penalty was called when you could clearly see the Giant dude not only had the Eagle dude in a headlock but he was twisting it.
I was dumbfounded by how they just ignored the offensive PI and acted like the refs made a mistake. It really showed how the announcers at times favor certain teams.
why would john gruden and whatever his name favor the giants over the eagles?
this I gotta hear
It's a fairly widely held belief that ESPN has a serious NY b o n e r.
They have consistently found ANY reason to prop up the Yankees, Giants, Jets and Knicks.
They are the "flagship" station for more than one NY based team. To think that has 0 effect is silly. Their infatuation with Rex Ryan, in spite of the results, has grown to laughable proportions. Ditto for the Knicks. At least the Giants have done some winning, so I can kindo f understand that one. But, seriously, go read any national sports board, Yahoo for example, and you'll read post after post of people complaining how ESPN is constantly ball washing NY teams.
another example is the way SB 42 was called... Aikman who was being impartial pointed out many of the violations by the jints and the officials on that joke of a final drive. Starting with the clock fiasco where jints were gifted a clock stoppage, to Coughlin grabbing an official 10 yards on the field to get his attention, to multiple penalties not called.
NY ballwasher Joe buck just glossed over and put a ribbon on it. Pathetic .
oh please...STILL bitter? listen you lost fair and square to the better team that day
(and every other time u play the Giants) now try and show a LITTLE class and stop being a typical pats fan: sore loser, sore winner, rampant homer, paranoid and no class
do you at least know what I'm referring to..? Belichick was fined 50k for similar maneuver ... The rest of that crap is right there on tape. You asked for examples. There you go.
my other question was whether Eli was stupid to throw that ball when they were in FG range... Or was it a brain cramp by Coughlin . Figured you had refs in your pocket after 2 pi's already.... ?
Dumb as a hay seed on that one...

Following the announcement of an upcoming addition to the royal family, Prince William was photographed leaving the King Edward VII Hospital in Central London where a pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was admitted for acute morning sickness on Monday.
The Duchess Of Cambridge – who is in the "very early stages" of her pregnancy, according to the Palace – has been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, characterised by severe and persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, more commonly known as morning sickness.
Wearing a grey sweater, William is seen exiting the hospital and heading toward a waiting vehicle.
While a source at St. James's Palace tells WHO that the couple decided to "be open" about Catherine's pregnancy because she was admitted to the hospital, the Duke & Duchess "aren't going into detail about the pregnancy itself."
The Palace announced the Duchess's pregnancy earlier Monday in a statement. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess Of Cambridge is expecting a baby," it said. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news."
Later on Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron congratulated the couple, saying "I'm delighted by the news that the Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge are expecting a baby. They will make wonderful parents."

Blue Rams Hard to Find???
I have called a number of stores in my area (LA/Orange County) and NONE have Blue Rams.
The best answer I get is "maybe in the future" or "you can special order them".
Seems odd for such a nice looking fish. Are these just not as popular as I would think?
I have found 1 store that has Bolivian Rams, but not Blue. (want to find a friend or two for my Discus)
Of course, keep in mind that out of the 30 stores I have called, they were only tropical fish stores (no Petco's Petsmarts, etc)...
What's the deal?
Anyone in the area know where to get some nice specimens?
You could order them online if you want them that bad....
(lol...it's the opposite for me...Nobody carrys Bolivian Rams and EVERYONE carrys Blue Rams.)
Re: Blue Rams Hard to Find???
Ryan, it depends on how you care for the wild-caught blue rams. True that they can be a little more sensitive than the captive-bred ones but all depends on how you care for them. My F1 GBRs are far too hardy despite the fact that I had several disease outbreaks last year along with disastrous CO2 leaks.
Found some!
A store not even listed in the yellow pages....just saw the sign and went in. Not the cleanest in town, but a tank full of Blue Rams (about 50 or so in a 20 gallon).
I picked the healthiest male and female, and if they turn out to be good tankmates with my discus, I may buy two more.....though they did seem to be aggressive in the tank, I hope it was from overcrowding. I can't tolerate any problems with my discus, they come first.
"many people dont like the wild-caught ones since its not good for our eco-system and they arent as hardy."
Actually, I hear that most blue rams are caught after the flood waters subside and leave small pools and puddles with trapped rams in them. If these fish weren't caught, they'd either die in the pool when it dried up or be eaten by some other critter. They are also a short lived species that reach sexual maturity fast, so capturing the easily caught rams doesn't have a detrimental effect on the natural population, there are plenty more to breed in the larger rivers. It's actually probably closer to the situation with Cardinal Tetras where the aquarium industry is giving the local people a financial incentive to keep their land and waterways in their natural state. Many people just assume that catching wild fish for the hobby is not good for the environment, but that's not always the case. It's actually the exact opposite when it comes to Cardinal Tetras, so don't feel guilty buying wild Cardinals (also another good companion for discus, usually), you're actually supporting efforts to keep their natural environment intact! Please note that this is very species specific and for some species like the bala shark, the aquarium industry has had a very negative impact on its numbers in the wild.

Calista Flockhart (Nov 7th, 2008)
Calista Flockhart adds a flirty appeal to her long strands with a softly tousled finish and rolled-forward ends.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a handful of volumizing mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections with a round brush while turning several times to add subtle roundness to the length.
Step 2: Wrap just the ends of a two-inch section around an extra-large curling iron, rolling inward towards your face. Hold the section in place for a few seconds to set the curl and then release. Repeat through both sides.
Step 3: Dab styling cream on your fingertips and run them through your hair to create movement and definition. Spritz with hairspray all over for an all-day hold.

Silicon Labs Launches Industry's Lowest Jitter, Fully SyncE-Compliant Clock
Silicon Labs (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today introduced the industry's lowest jitter, lowest power and most frequency-flexible timing solution for high-speed networking equipment based on the Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) standard. Offering an unmatched combination of any-frequency synthesis and industry-leading jitter performance (as low as 263 femtoseconds RMS), the new Si5328 precision clock multiplier and jitter attenuator addresses the need for ultra-low jitter physical layer reference clocks in Carrier Ethernet switches and routers. Eighty percent smaller and also 80 percent more power efficient than competing SyncE clocks, the Si5328 provides a best-in-class SyncE-compliant timing solution for edge routers, multi-service switches, wireless backhaul systems, DSLAMs and GPON/GEPON optical line termination (OLT) equipment. The telecom infrastructure market is rapidly transitioning from legacy SONET/SDH networks to higher-speed, more cost-effective Ethernet networks. A key enabling technology behind this network transition is Synchronous Ethernet, which is used to distribute accurate timing in Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE Carrier Ethernet switches and routers. Every Carrier Ethernet switch and router requires a high-performance SyncE clock to provide wander filtering, distribute timing and provide a low-jitter Ethernet PHY reference clock. Silicon Labs has addressed this application need with the industry's lowest jitter, most frequency-flexible SyncE timing solution optimized for Ethernet PHYs ranging from GbE to 100 GbE.The Si5328 is fully compliant with ITU-T G.8262 SyncE clock requirements including EEC Options 1 and 2. When paired with a Stratum 3 temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), the Si5328 meets all of the jitter, wander and holdover requirements specified by the SyncE standard. With its integrated loop filter featuring selectable loop bandwidths (0.1 Hz and 1 to 10 Hz), the Si5328 can be designed into any networking system that must comply with SyncE specifications. This integration eliminates the need for expensive discrete timing card phase-locked loops (PLLs) in some systems and provides manufacturers the assurance that their networking products can be deployed worldwide by their end customers.

Moyie Dam
Moyie Dam
The Moyie Dam is located on the Moyie River about one and
one-half miles upstream of its confluence with the Kootenai River. Moyie
Dam is a 92-foot-high concrete gravity dam that impounds a small reservoir,
approximately one mile long. The length of the top of the Dam along the
walkway at elevation 2040 is 376 feet.
Powerhouses There are three powerhouses located about 1000 feet downstream. The powerhouses were constructed in 1921, 1941, and 1982 respectively. Four hydroelectric turbines are located in the powerhouses with two units in Powerhouse Two and one unit each in Powerhouses One and Three. The nameplate capacity of the units totals 3950 KW.
Spillway The Dam has an ogee spillway with a crest 17 feet below the top of the dam. The spillway length is 95.5 feet. Piers supporting the walkway divide the spillway into nine segments. A concrete training wall on the spillway separates the spillway flow with four crest segments flowing onto the west half of the spillway and five onto the east. The spillway has the capacity of 19,800 cfs at 2037.5 feet with 2.5 feet of residual freeboard.
Information for the Moyie Dam is from the City of Bonners Ferry, Idaho
