I'm reading page $59$ of Reid's "Undergraduate commutative algebra" book.
In example (ii) it says, $k[x^{2}] \subset k[x]$ is an integral extension.
How do we know this? I mean, in order to show this we must take a polynomial $f(x) \in k[x]$ and show there is a monic polynomial $g(x) \in k[x^{2}]$ such that $g(f(x))=0$, right? Why can we do this?

Grading the New Orleans Saints' performance in their 48-27 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday at the Superdome.
Offense: 4 fleurs-de-lis
What more could you ask for? They scored touchdowns on their first four drives. Drew Brees threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns. Marques Colston caught eight passes for 166 yards and a touchdown. Seven players scored touchdowns. And they didn't turn over the ball. All of this against a defense that was ranked No. 1 in the NFL. The running game was solid, though not spectacular, averaging 3.4 yards on 39 carries. Pierre Thomas led the way with 72 yards on 15 carries.
Defense: 3 fleurs-de-lis
The secondary was outstanding on a day when the Giants clearly tried to make some big plays with the deep ball. Cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter mostly held tight in coverage, and on two occasions when they were beat deep by a step, they recovered to make big-time deflections. Greer also intercepted a pass. Safety Roman Harper forced a fumble on a sack. And safety Darren Sharper had an interception overturned because of a roughing-the-passer penalty against linebacker Jonathan Vilma. They did allow two first-half touchdowns, but one of them was set up by a 68-yard kickoff return.
Special teams: 1 fleur-de-lis
These guys won't be celebrating in the meeting room today. Their coverage units struggled badly Sunday, allowing kickoff returns of 68 and 45 yards to Domenik Hixon in the first half and two punt returns of 27 and 24 yards in the second half. They also had an extra-point attempt blocked in the second quarter when the Giants got a push up the middle. The Saints didn't attempt any field goals. Punter Thomas Morstead was solid with his punts and kickoffs.
Coaching: 4 fleurs-de-lis
So much for the Saints' struggles after the bye week. For the first time in the Sean Payton era, they won a regular-season game after the open date, and they did it with panache. The offense seemingly could do no wrong against a usually dominant New York defense. And the Saints never allowed the Giants' offense to get back into the game. There was a huge spotlight on the Saints in this high-profile showdown, and they shined under it.

Wayne Waarvik / For The Courier
Mark Pippin, left and Jessie Korman study Korman's Tahoe, which fell into a hole when a culvert on Larb Creek Road collapsed under it Saturday morning. The 9-foot culvert, installed in 1981, is being replaced with an 11-foot one.
The Road Department was kept running from one end of Valley County to the other this weekend, repairing potentially dangerous damage to two roads.
A Glentana resident reported Friday night that the Glentana Road (Highway 438) just south of Glentana was rapidly washing away around a culvert. He said the road was very soft.
Snow lying deep in the coulees in the north part of the county was melting in the warmer weather and pouring from the head of Spring Coulee, said road superintendent Wayne Waarvik.
Road Department workers went out that night and closed the road. By 10 a.m. Saturday, people were driving around the closure, Waarvik said.
Dispatch received a call from a road employee out of Opheim who said people had been moving the roadblocks and he had been out to Glentana twice on Saturday to put them back in place.
"I can't believe people do that," Waarvik said. "We had it coned, flagged and barricaded."
At 2 p.m. the road completely washed out, leaving a 10-foot hole. The barricades were put back up and that Opheim road employee hoped everyone would stay away.
Also on Saturday morning, on the opposite side of the county, Jessie Korman was driving a Tahoe south on Larb Creek Road, heading for the home ranch, when an old culvert collapsed beneath him. His outfit fell rear-first into a deep hole.
Waarvik said the 9-foot culvert was installed in 1981, the first year he started on the Road Department. Luckily, it was a part of the road that Korman had to take slowly. He was able to climb out of the Tahoe, walk to the nearby Chet Cummings Ranch and call for help.
The road was closed and there was no way to go around the damaged section because there was too much water, Waarvik said. Five people were putting in a new 11-foot culvert on Tuesday, and they hope to have the road re-opened this week.
The Larb Creek Road repair will cost about $55,000 to $60,000, Waarvik estimated. The Glentana Road is already fixed and back in service. The pipe was still good, so the repairs were less, around $6,000 to $6,500, he said.

We're hiring new part-time brand representatives at Gameday Cloth. If you think you're a good fit, please send your resume to firstname.lastname@example.com. I tend to think we're a pretty cool bunch of people and quite fun to spend time with, but I suppose that's always up for debate ...
Here's the official job description and "ad:"
Gameday Cloth is a rapidly growing lifestyle sports boutique for the fashionable fan. We are seeking a Sales Associate to join our team. Previous sales experience isn't necessary, but previous service industry/customer service is preferred. Sales training is provided. But YOUR personal style and fashion is a MUST.
We're looking for someone who takes initiative and sees what needs to be taken care of without being told each step of the way. You must be responsible and self-motivating as you will work in the store on your own at times. An understanding of fashion is crucial, combined with an appreciation for sports and the life of a fan. You need to be personable and friendly to succeed in this position. We build relationships with our clients and offer them a stylish alternative to the bookstore & fan shop. We are a sports boutique.
Gameday Cloth is still a small company so responsibilities can vary and are extensive - sales, merchandising, events, web, etc.
Applicant Details:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Must be eligible to legally work in the United States
- 15-25 hours a week
- Mainly nights/weekends. Minimum 3 weekends a month
- Understand the life of a fan & fashion and style
If this sounds like you, please send your resume for consideration. If you cannot work the hours asked, please do not apply.
Love your team. Love your clothes.
It has been a long day here in Vegas, scouring over 100,000 square feet of fashion trade shows so that we can bring you guys the best that we can. But as I sit here in my hotel robe and slippers with my tired feet up, I will tell you that I am the luckiest girl in the world. A very tired, lucky girl.
We definitely picked out some fantasticalness that I cannot WAIT to get in so that everyone can see it. You are going to love it! - I hope - But I definitely love all of it and it's totally unique and different. There's sports, there's fun and there's fashion. We're bringing it all this year.
We ended the day cruising around the 'Street' show with a beer, checking out what was happening on the 2nd floor. It's a show with style similar to it's name and it felt like a Street-style circus. We saw a pair of guys jamming on acoustic guitars together, a game of dice over a pack of cigarettes, half naked promotional girls for various brands, clouds of smoke of multiple varieties and a half pike in the back with an intense skate competition, the last jump height at over 15-feet.
But we also saw the upcoming fashion trends. What's eventually coming to Texas is already in 'Street' and we're keeping our eyes open. We saw slimmer styles, bold colors, thick glasses and lots of flat bills - girls, boys, young, old. Think Redfoo from LMFAO meets Jay-Z. I can't wait to see how it's done when these styles finally reach Plano, Texas.
For now I need some dinner and drinks, but we'll get back to it tomorrow, finding awesome, unique and super high quality goods you are going to love!
I can't believe it's been six months since we opened the doors. I remember the days leading up to that moment - that moment where we unlocked the door and prayed people would walk in. We didn't have an awning or a sign; we didn't even have tags on the clothes the first couple of days. But still we had people. But mostly we had friends and family.
We wouldn't be where we are today without the love and support of family and friends. Our friends have donated time and energy, volunteered to haul, load and clean and shown up at every event, trunk show and tailgate, spreading the word along the way. And our families have been there to listen and advise, to toast and cheer from the sidelines and to challenge us to grow and expand and work harder every day.
So here we are, with a store open seven days a week, great girls that work part-time and are invested as if the store was theirs and a website open 24 hours a day. As someone who has spent years working for other people in the fashion industry, it is a dream come true to own my own store. It literally warms my soul when people tell me how grateful they are that we opened - when they "get it." And it makes it worth every stressful minute.
It hasn't always been easy. In fact, a lot of this journey has been very, very hard. I look forward to a time when I can look back on the beginning. But for now I'm strapped into the roller coaster. And thank you for being a part of it. But it's not all emotional. It's also fabulous! Which is to say: a party!
Join us tonight in-store for appetizers and beer from Gordon Beirsch and help us celebrate our Half Birthday. Six Months Old! And to celebrate all week, the entire store is 20% off and sale items are 50% off.
We have a lot coming up this year with events for our entire Shops at Legacy North community, partnerships with amazing charities, fantastic products and new teams. But let's kick off the year with our Half Birthday party.
Wednesday, January 19th 6-8PM
Be there!

Parking Radar Kit
Avoid Fender Benders Using Ultrasonic Sound Waves
Description: Parking Radar Kit
Experience level: Intermediate
Time required: 2-3 hours (soldering required)
GoalTo build a simple radar kit capable of helping you in tight parking situations, or as the perfect set of eyes for your next robot.
IntroductionWhenever I start a project, I like to look over the manual, and it is almost always possible to break the project into a series of steps. Below I have broken up the project into the steps outlined in the manual and described some of my tips and tricks in building the Parking Radar Kit.
Base and Receiver Construction
1N4007 diodes
with negative side (short lead) up
From the left to right the capacitor values are: 12pF, 22pF,
100nF, and 10nF labled 12, 223, 104 and 103 respectively

Final Thoughts
If you want to use this as a parking aid, connect the '+' wire to the reverse light wire on your car and the other end somewhere on the car's chassis. The trunk should have no problem closing on the six conductor cable if you put the receiver outside the car and the base inside it. In order to keep the receiver attached to the bumper of your car, you can either drill holes in your back bumper, attach it with an industrial strength adhesive (like super glue), or use judicious amounts of duct tape.
Just as a final word of caution: Unlike conventional radar in which a Doppler shift in radio waves is measured, the Parking Radar uses sound waves. If an object is close, more sound waves return, and a greater voltage is induced in one of the sensors. If this voltage is large enough, a sensor sounds. However, some objects are better or worse reflectors of sound than others, so be careful not to rely only on the Parking Radar when backing up. And finally, have fun and park safely!

The Department of Homeland Security said early indications are that an airplane crash on Manhattan's Upper East Side is a terrible accident and not terrorism.
One witnesses said the thunder of the crash was accompanied by fiery debris raining on the street below. An apartment-dweller watching from a block away calls it "a mob scene with police and helicopters circling."
Even though the deadly crash -- and the sight and sound of first responders -- brought to mind the attacks on the World Trade Center five years ago, the FBI said there's no indication that the plane was flown intentionally into the 50-story building, although federal agents were sent to the scene as a precaution. The Pentagon also said it's taking no chances. Fighter jets have been scrambled over U.S. cities as a precaution.
New York Governor George Pataki told Fox News, he understands the heightened awareness, but he said residents should remain calm and have confidence that the government is doing everything possible to protect them.

Even though summer technically got underway just last week, I'm sure one of the highlights of the entire season will be my trip to Summerfest in Milwaukee to see the Hollywood Vampires. The band's name sounds much more menacing than they are in reality. The main members of this new band are Alice Cooper, Joe Perry from Aerosmith, and Johnny Depp. Yes, Johnny Depp.
I've always liked Alice Cooper's sense of humor and his on-stage shtick. Joe Perry is one of my favorite blues-rock guitarists, and I've been a fan of Johnny Depp ever since his amusing yet poignant performance in 1990's Edward Scissorhands. Even though Johnny is known for his acting, he can definitely hold his own on guitar while playing next to a rock legend like Joe Perry. Seeing all three of these talents on the same stage on the shore of Lake Michigan on a warm summer night will be heaven to me!

The world of writer Rick Remender and artist Greg Tocchini's "Low" is heading towards a fiery end. The people of Earth have fled below the surface of the ocean to escape the radiation and fire of the ever expanding Sun as it devours the universe. They have spent centuries searching for some new planet to inhabit before theirs ultimately ends. The world is almost certain to die and hope gone except for one, Stel Caine the last defender of hope in this ever-dying world.
The story in "Low" builds from Remender's childhood fears of the inevitable destruction of the Earth and all life on it by the expanding Sun as it goes supernova. As he searched for a project to work on with Tocchini he spent time figuring out how humans could survive this outcome. From that he was able to build the premise of the new sci-fi series from Image Comics.
"Low" #1 starts with the worst day in the lives of the Caine family, the last of the helmsman tasked with providing for their underwater city Salus. This is where Remender's personal view of optimism comes in. The character of Stel Caine is a new take on a hero for Remender one who is filled with eternal optimism.
The result of Remender mixing fear with optimism creates a deeply personal story. The characters in the Caine family feel real as they squabble and discuss what life is like hiding from the Sun. Stel's character in particular does view the world in a positive manner even though the world around her is crumbling. But it is not distasteful optimism but a view that helps her deal with the problems of life to overcome hardship and persevere. It is a great basis for a strong character.
Tocchini's artwork captures the look of this underwater city Salus. As many millennia have passed since the people of Earth had to flee, in the city you can see the technological advancements showing what life has become. The artwork immerses you within this world making it feel real.
The look of Tocchini's artwork is stylized and the dark colors on the pages do not always get the meaning of the narrative across. But a closer look and taking in the full detail of what Tocchini is rendering adds a depth to the story that is not there on a quick read of the issue. The style of the artwork creates for an enveloping story that you need to get inside.
For sci-fi stories to be successful they need a personal touch that grounds the fiction in reality. Remender uses old anxieties mixed with a new found positivity to create that personal connection to the story and lead character. Tocchini adds depth to the story with beautiful art. The story of "Low" is just beginning but the setting provides an excellent backdrop for the creators to explore the character of Stel Caine and how she deals with desperate circumstances.

Have you ever stopped to take a closer look at life in the wild meadows that surround us? In this beautiful book, author and photographer Steven Shepard takes a broad and deep look at Southridge Meadow, a piece of land near his home that is jointly owned by him and his neighbors. For years he studied the meadow in all four seasons, photographing it extensively and noting the different creatures and plants that inhabit the meadow in each season. Those observations along with the photos in the book create a vivid and unforgettable view of a tiny slice of the natural world.
More than a photo book, A Year in Southridge Meadow provides a tool for teachers and parents to help children learn to appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
I am a writer and photographer who works in the technology world. I focus on the social and economic impacts of technological change and have written over 40 books on that topic. However, I travel a great deal with my job and therefore routinely write about and photograph the places I visit. I am also a frustrated biologist, so I spend a lot of time writing about and photographing the natural world as well.

If you are looking forward to the six core Gulftown but are concerned that you will need a new socket there might be some good news.
According to a blurb at Tech Power Up the new Gulftowns are seamlessly compatible with the existing X58 chipset. Yep that is right, they are making Gulftown 1366 compatible. This means that many existing X58 based mainboards could support these new CPUs with as little as a BIOS update.
The TDP is also the same as the Core i7 900 series so t should run at 130 Watts. The Gulftown will also be one of the first CPUs from Intel to be made under the 32nm HKMG process. This will be ahead of AMD's entry from Globalfoundries who will not have 32nm HKMG ready until sometime late next year.

Post-Exposure Treatment Summary of Guidelines
A summary of hepatitis B postexposure recommendations has been excerpted from the Updated U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines for the Management of Occupational Exposures to HBV, HCV, and HIV and Recommendations for Postexposure Prophylaxis.
Summary of Hepatitis B Postexposure Guidelines (2001)
Occupational exposures should be considered urgent medical concerns to ensure timely postexposure management and administration of HBIG and hepatitis B vaccine.
General Recommendations for HBV Postexposure Management
- Initiation of the hepatitis B vaccine series to any susceptible, unvaccinated person who sustains an occupational blood or body fluid exposure.
- Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and/or hepatitis B vaccine series should be considered for occupational exposures after evaluation of the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status of the source and the vaccination and vaccine-response status of the exposed person.
- Neither pregnancy nor lactation should be considered a contraindication to vaccination of women. HBIG is not contraindicated for pregnant or lactating women.
- Guidance is provided to clinicians and exposed health care workers for selecting the appropriate HBV PEP.
- Employers are required to establish exposure-control plans that include postexposure follow-up for their employees and to comply with incident reporting requirements mandated by the 1992 OSHA bloodborne pathogen standard.
- Consult with local experts and/or the National Clinicians' Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline (PEPLine: 1-888-448-4911) for special circumstances.
Specific Recommendations for an HBV Exposure
- Provide immediate care to the exposure
Wash wounds and skin with soap and water.
Flush mucous membranes with water.
- Determine risk of exposure
Type of fluid (i.e., blood, body fluids with visible blood, other potentially infectious fluid or tissue, and concentrated virus).
Type of exposure (i.e., percutaneous injury, mucous membrane or nonintact skin exposure, and bites resulting in blood exposure).
- Evaluate exposure source
Assess the risk of infection using available information.
Test known sources for HBsAg.
For unknown sources, assess risk of exposure to HBV infection.
Do not test discarded needles or syringes for virus contamination.
- Evaluate the exposed person
Assess immune status for HBV infection (i.e., by history of hepatitis B vaccination and vaccine response).
- Give HBIG and/or HBV vaccine for exposures posing risk of infection transmission
- Perform follow-up testing and provide
Advise exposed persons to seek medical evaluation for any acute illness during follow-up.
- HBV exposures
Perform follow-up anti-HBs testing in persons who receive hepatitis B vaccine.
- Test for protective surface antibodies (HBsAb or anti-HBs) 1--2 months after last dose of vaccine.
- HBsAb or Anti-HBs response to vaccine cannot be ascertained if HBIG was received in the previous 3--4 months.

C-USA Indoor Championships Results | Photo Gallery
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Joseph Samuels and Tynita Butts earned first place finishes in the men's 60-meter hurdles and women's high jump, respectively, as the East Carolina track and field team competed at the 2013 Indoor Conference USA Championships. Over the weekend, the Pirates won four individual events and set five school records. The men finished in third place with 108 points, to tie their highest ever finish, while the women placed fourth with 59 points. Houston won the men's indoor championship with 143 points, while UCF claimed the women's title with 132.5 points.
Samuels won the men's 60-meter hurdles finals with a time of 7.91. Previously he had placed first in the preliminaries of the same event with a qualifying time of 7.84. Demonte Wilson placed fifth in the men's 60-meter hurdles finals with a personal best time of 8.18 which is good for seventh on the ECU Indoor Top 10 list. Quinton Harley rounded out the Pirate trio with an eighth-place finish in the event with a time of 8.53.
Butts won her fourth high jump event of the indoor season as she leapt 1.83m (6-00.00), which was four inches better than the second place finisher. Her performance in the women's high jump came a day after she turned in a third-place finish in the women's long jump with a mark of 5.96m (19-06.75).
In the women's 400-meter dash finals, Tiffany Harris bettered the previous Conference USA meet record with a time of 54.12 for a third-place finish in the event. Another notable performance from the Lady Pirates came from Tyshonda Hawkins in the women's 200-meter dash finals. Hawkins earned a third-place finish with a personal best and ECU school record time of 23.63 in the event.
Harris and Hawkins joined Kathryn Warner and Janieyah Collins in the women's 4x400-meter relay. With Harris kicking things off and Hawkins running anchor, the foursome finished fifth with a time of 3:45.47. Their time slides the squad into 10th on the ECU Indoor Top 10 list.
Senior Aaron Zakula bettered his previous school-record mark of 4.90m (16-00.75) in the men's pole vault as he notched an impressive mark of 4.97m (16-03.50) for a fourth-place finish. Henry Johnson placed fifth with a mark of 4.82m (15-09.75), and Stephen Hodapp recorded a mark of 4.67m (15-03.75) for an eighth-place finish.
Dylan Spadaccini and Jason Dijols represented the Pirates in the heptathlon at the C-USA Championships. Dijols set a new ECU heptathlon record in the 60-meter hurdles as he bettered his previous personal record time of 8.68 by .03 seconds to notch a time of 8.65 and finish sixth in the event. Both Pirates set new career bests for themselves in the 1,000-meter run as Spadaccini recorded a time of 2:48.00 and Dijols tallied a time of 3:00.48. In the men's pole vault of the heptathlon, Dijols added .04 meters to his previous personal record to register a mark of 3.24m (10-07.50). Spadaccini finished the heptathlon with a career best and ECU school record 4,734 points, while Dijols registered a personal record 4,170 points to rank sixth on the ECU Indoor Top 10 list.
"All in all it was a pretty good weekend," Head Coach Curt Kraft said. "Anytime you leave a conference championship without a trophy there is going to be some disappointment because the goal always remains the same and that is to be conference champions on both the men's and women's sides. To say that we didn't accomplish any goals would be a far stretch from the truth. We have four C-USA Individual champions, set five school records, had many season bests, and lifetime personal bests."
On the track, Torrance Hunt set a new personal record in the men's 60-meter dash finals with a time of 6.73 for a third-place finish. His teammates, Cameron Hudson (6.78) and Michael Neal (6.94) finished fourth and seventh, respectively.
Hudson tallied a personal best time of his own in the men's 200-meter dash finals as he ran the event in 21.64 and placed sixth. He was followed by Neal's time of 21.83 for a seventh-place finish.
Brather Cline and Austin Miller were the ECU participants in the men's mile run finals, and both bettered their personal best times. Cline tallied a time of 4:19.95 for a ninth-place finish and Miller finished 12th with a time of 4:23.68.
In the men's triple jump finals Allan Bordley placed fourth with a personal best mark of 14.80m (48-06.75) to lead the Pirates. Miles Coats followed suit with a career-best mark of 14.77m (48-05.50) for a fifth-place finish. Joshua King (14.72m, 48-03.50) and Alexander Mobley-Hollie (13.24m (43-05.25) rounded out the quartet of Pirates competing in the event.
"The expectations of this coaching staff and what we expect of this team are very high." Kraft stated. "We as a staff, and as a team, will now refocus and turn our attention to the outdoor season. We can't waste too much time dwelling on the past or we'll miss out on the goals for the future."
The Pirates will return to action on Friday, March 1, as the squad will split, and half of the Pirates will head to the Virginia Tech Invitational, while the rest will compete at the Alex Wilson Invite at Notre Dame. Both meets are two-day events and will conclude on Saturday, March 2.

Making the decision to straighten your teeth is much easier when you know that Invisalign® is flexible enough to let you live your life the way you want to. With Invisalign, you don't need to worry about the gum and mouth irritation other teeth-straightening methods can cause.
Why Invisalign
With Invisalign, the aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they're also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing, to eating whatever you like. With other devices, brushing and flossing properly can often take up to 30 minutes!
Invisalign is also ideal for your busy schedule, with fewer doctor visits required (approximately every six weeks).
How Invisalign Works
Once you and your doctor decide Invisalign is the right treatment option for you, we'll take x-rays, pictures and impressions of your teeth, which Invisalign will use to create a digital 3-D image of them. From these images your doctor will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth. Using this same technology, your doctor will even be able to show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move with each stage of treatment.
Based on your individual treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners are then created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable BPA-free plastic that won't irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you achieve the smile you have always wanted. The best part of the whole process is that most people won't even know you are straightening your teeth.

During the summer and early fall it seems that there are plenty of rabbits in Baltimore, even in spots around the city. If there is a little bit of grass or a park, there are the small brown and white rabbits native to our area. While they may be cute to the average person many gardeners consider them pests. As we head towards fall they may come out and snack on your late season crops like spinach or lettuce. Here are a few organic rabbit deterrent tips.
First, you can try some simple organic ways to repel the rabbits. Rabbits are said to dislike lavender and catnip, so try planting some. Also, black pepper, cayenne pepper and bone meal repel many critters, including rabbits. Rabbits come out to graze in the evening so scatter the pepper or bone meal around in late afternoon so it doesn't wash away if it rains during the day. If you only grow flowers consider rabbit proof blossoms like iris, red-hot poker, narcissus, foxglove, bellflower, daylily, sedum and globe flower. Also, if you have a cat you can let it out in the garden and let nature take over.
If your rabbits are special pests you may need some kind of barrier around your plants. The simplest would be to get a floating row cover. But, you can also make a chicken wire cage to put around your garden bed. Get chicken wire with small openings – one inch or smaller. It will need to be sunk about two inches under the ground and should be about two feet high. Or, you can make a barrier out of anything that the rabbits won't want to step over. Some use sharp sticks stuck haphazardly around the plants.
If rabbits are a pest this season add rabbit barriers to your garden planning this winter.

I manage several CentOS and Fedora VMs, and our setup is getting sufficiently sophisticated that it's time to move several resources on a single back-end VM, and serve those out to our Web VM, QA VM, Dev VM, etc. We trust our VM provider, but we don't trust every random stranger who can buy a VM on the same subnet for a few cents per hour. We need to encrypt traffic between the client servers and the back-end server. We have enough CPU headroom that symmetric encryption is no problem, but SSL handshake on each request would add too much latency, so application-level encryption is out of the question. We need some sort of VPN, but there are a lot of different ways to do it, and the numerous well-documented VPN configurations that are fine for attended client systems really don't make sense in this setup.
Which Linux VPN packages are best suited for this use case?
Which package-agnostic design principles should I keep in mind?

Tablets are not laptops.This is well known. While tablets and laptops offer different ways to access and create content, the stark differences between the two devices has begun to narrow. The Microsoft Surface Pro 2 can be considered the best of both worlds; the ease of a tablet, with the power and flexibility of a laptop. It was reported today, February 10, 2014 on winbeta.com about how schools are using the Surface Pro, and importantly, what led to the decision to adopt the Surface Pro over other tablet alternatives. Although the information provided is essentially a marketing campaign by Microsoft, the information and accompanying video is highly instructive and makes many valid points that should be considerations for all would-be adopters of tablets.
The most compelling information was shared by the Williston Northampton School, located in Massachusetts. One of the first points made was about creating content. The statement made by the school was that "…we want our students to be creators of content. So we knew the iPad was not going to be a good device for us." This type of statement is not unusual, and in fairness, should speak to tablets as a whole, not just the iPad. Creating content is less efficient with tablets. However, it is not a zero sum game. For many tasks, tablets can be suited to creation, but generally, they are not the ideal device for productivity, particularly at secondary or college levels. Tablets in general are best suited to consumption; that is what they do best. Yes, many apps support creativity. But, apps were born of low processing power during the early days of smart phones, and the inability to use web browsers efficiently. As processing power increases in tablets, the ability to run full versions of software will become commonplace. Some apps are great for the simplicity of use though. Notable is iMovie, which is tough to beat. However, video software has become commodity, and there are many other viable alternatives. One should never become fixated on a single aspect of any device, unless that is the core need driving adoption.
The Surface Pro runs the full version of Windows, leaving little daylight between what software can be run on the tablet as compared to a laptop. There is no sole reliance on apps. The Surface Pro can run Office, or any other Windows program. This is a major plus for secondary level and college students. Perhaps it is not as important for primary level education where the apps often serve the learning needs of students.
The ability to create content also includes the use of a keyboard, which is well integrated into the Surface Pro, and well as mouse options, when necessary. A touch screen is great for many things, but not all tasks. Keyboard input remains a necessary input mechanism to create content efficiently. Too many schools have incorrectly assumed that touch screens are a replacement for keyboard input. That is simply not the case. Just ask the Los Angeles school district that purchased iPads, to find out subsequently that keyboards were necessary.
Perhaps the most striking and relevant issue was how students use the tablet to write efficiently. This included annotating, note taking, drawing and highlighting. The inclusion of an active digitizer that supports pen input is a major advantage for the Surface Pro. Students need to write efficiently, including highlighting/annotating and note taking. The result of the active digitizer built into the device enables one to write smoothly and efficiently on the tablet surface, analogous to writing on paper. Most all tablets, Apple and Android, use a passive digitizer, which makes handwriting on the tablet slow, not terribly accurate, and above all, cumbersome. A student perhaps put it best when she stated , "it's exactly like writing on paper with the smoothest pen imaginable." It is no small issue that students need to write efficiently, particularly for active reading, where handwriting inside of the text, highlighting, and coding is an important learning strategy. The advantage of being able to take notes efficiently on the tablet screen is obvious, and universal to the needs of all students.
The value of writing on documents was also emphasized by the faculty, where one teacher described how he can offer feedback to students by "…writing little notes to them [using pen input]." The immediacy of feedback with hand written comments on papers is essential to the learning process and an important feature for teachers as well as students. Overall, the integration of the stylus pen input with a tablet is a tremendous step forward for teachers to collaborate with students.
Considering the value added features of the Microsoft Pro, this should raise the bar for technology analysis in school settings. While the Surface Pro is not the only Windows tablet out there with an active digitizer, it is the only 10 inch Windows table that does. There are two 8 inch tablets from Asus and Dell that offer active digitizers. Both are not nearly as powerful as the Surface Pro, but are less than half the cost. It comes down to the depth of the analysis and research to drive the adoption decision.
Schools need to seriously consider the gap between consumption and productivity that leads to increased learning outcomes. The use of apps might be appropriate for many curriculum needs, but are still not full featured software options. Having the option to load and run software should be a consideration. The reliance on apps and the goodwill of the ecosystem to offer needed software options is unnecessarily limiting. The ability to hand-write is central to learning, and to formative feedback from teachers. Few tablets support natural writing ability, outside of the Windows tablets with active digitizers. Whether one wants to admit it or not, keyboard input is also an essential component of content creation. One cannot use a touch screen for all input and expect to realize efficient content creation and high level of productivity. Moreover, LCD keyboards are not suited to efficient text input except for very small amounts of text entry.
With all due respect to the existing crop of tablets, they were never designed as education tools. They were intended for entertainment, and in many cases, are shoe-horned into learning environments. The serious limitations of existing tablets become more apparent as one looks comparatively at the design aspects of the Surface Pro or other Windows 8 tablets with active digitizers. There is much room for improvement in tablets vis a vis as an educational device. The Surface Pro, and other tablets with active digitizers, should serve as food for thought by educators and students considering the adoption of tablets as a learning device.

Matthew Weiner knows he can't please everyone. The "Mad Men" showrunner is already prepared for mixed reviews when the final episode of his Emmy winning AMC drama airs next year. In an interview with Esquire posted on Monday, Weiner said, "The road has been paved for a mixed review, no matter what. I do what I've always done on the show and rely on the people around me. The actors, the writers, and my wife all liked it, so that's all I can go on at this point."
For a hint at what type of ending he may have created for Sterling, Cooper and Partners, Weiner dished that he really never knew one year to the next if the show would be renewed so he tried to end each season accordingly.
"I never knew if the show was coming back for most of the series, so we treated every episode 13 like it was the end," he revealed.
Past "ending" episodes included Season 2's "Meditations in an Emergency," which had Betty Draper (January Jones) telling her cheating husband Don (Jon Hamm) that she was pregnant. Of course, she had cheated too, and viewers had to ponder if the baby she was carrying was even Don's.
Two years later, Season 4's "Tomorrowland" had a then-single and temporarily happy Don proposing to his secretary Megan (Jessica Pare). But the episode ended with him looking pensive as he as he gazed outside at the New York sky while Sonny and Cher's 'I Got You Babe" played in the background.
And then there was season 5, which left things on an ambiguous note when Draper, put off by his wife's role in a commercial, sat at bar and got that familiar glimmer in his eye when a pretty woman asked him, "Are you alone?"
In other words, past seasons have signed off with open endings subject to hours of analyzing by superfans.
As for the actual series finale, Weiner told Esquire that wrapping up the show has been emotional, but he added that the split season (the first part aired this spring, the second part will air in 2015) left him with a bit of a "safety net."
"The people at 'Breaking Bad,' 'Lost,' everybody told us this, too, what a safety net it is to not be off the air yet," he said. "We all know that, whatever splitting the season meant, the true ending of the show hasn't happened yet. So yes, it will be a reunion and then after the last episode airs, that's going to be interesting."
Of course, in an interview last year with NPR, Matthew Weiner gave another clue about the series finale. "You know the show is going to end on an ambiguous note," he said. "My God, people must be prepared for that."
That doesn't tell us much, but it tells us something.
The final seven episodes of "Mad Men" are slated to air next spring on AMC.

Can You Trust Your DD? 40% of Designated Drivers Drink and Drive
Will you be safe letting your designated driver take you home? New research reveals that you won't be sure 40 percent of the time.

- No, You Can't Text While Driving
While people may sometimes volunteer to get their friends home safely, a new study reveals that two out of five designated drivers drink before getting behind the wheel. What's more, researchers found that half of these drivers have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05 percent, which is enough to affect driving ability while still being under the legal limit.
The study, conducted in a Florida college town, involved more than 1,071 participants leaving bars in Gainesville, Florida on a series of Friday nights over a three-month period.
The findings revealed that 165 of the subjects were deemed "designated drivers" by their friends. However, approximately 40 percent of these designated drivers had had something to drink. More specifically, 17 percent of them had blood alcohol content between 0.02 percent and 0.049 percent, while 18 percent had at a BAC of 0.05 percent or more.
The average age of the people in the study was 28. Participants in the study weren't particularly diverse and were mostly white male college students.
Researchers note that while people can legally drive with a blood alcohol level of up to .08 percent, previous research has found that alcohol begins to affect people's driving abilities at a blood level of .02 percent, and by .05 percent, the ability to drive safely is clearly impaired.
Lead researcher Adam Barry, Ph.D., an assistant professor of health education and behavior at the University of Florida in Gainesville said it's best for any driver, not just designated drivers, to refrain from drinking. However, he stressed that it may be especially risky when a designated driver drinks because he or she will be in the car with other drunken passengers.
"They may be loud, or start roughhousing. They're a distraction," Barry said in a news release. Furthermore, most people drink at night, when any driver's vision is diminished. He said all those factors added together equals a potential recipe for disaster.
While it not clear why the designated drivers in the study drank. Researchers say some of them might think that as long as they don't feel drunk they are all right to drive.
"People do try to use that as a measuring stick," Barry said. "But alcohol is insidious."
Barry noted that popular designated-driver campaigns have done little to actually prevent drunk driving.
"When you look at evaluations of designated driver campaigns, they're really ineffective," Barry told The New York Times.
"Often people choose designated drivers because they're the ones who've drunk the least. The most practical recommendation is that if you drive, you shouldn't drink at all," he added.
The findings are published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

Track 9: "Make Me Proud" feat. Nicki Minaj
Sounds Like: A '90s R&B bump-and-grinder, at least until Drake comes in, raving about his girl who "sounds so smart, like you graduated from college." Like TML's "Fancy," most of the song features Drake extolling the virtues that set his lady apart from the rest of the crowd, but unlike "Fancy," the guest verse is (arguably) from the female in question—Nicki Minaj, who does her typical switching-tempos-and-voices thing over her minute or so of screen time, unapologetically stealing the show from Drizzy in the process.
Pros: The beat is pretty sexy—it actually sounds a lot like Portishead's "It Could Be Sweet" before the vocals kick in, though the similarity is almost certainly coincidental. Both Drake and Nicki have their winning moments, especially the latter, who ends up bragging about her lawyers ("Popped out, I'm the realest deal / Best legal team so the deals is ill") and memorably declaring "If I'm guardin' / Double D up, hos / Dolly Parton." It's about time the Harajuku Barbie paid respect to one of her truest and baddest predecessors.
Cons: As a love song, "Make Me Proud" rings kind of hollow, especially when compared to "Fancy." Whereas the latter was overflowing with (what appeared to be) genuine respect and admiration for the titular female (who dropped ten pounds for the summer not for her man, but just because she was the fuckin' coldest), the former seems half-hearted and patronizing, mostly saluting the titular female for going to college and not getting too distracted from her studies, even while on Spring Break. (Really that great an accomplishment, Aubrey?) And with the exception of the Impressions' "I'm So Proud," it's kinda hard to talk about being "proud" of your girl in a song's hook without sounding kind of like an asshole.
Emo Alert!: "It's just amazing, girl, and all I can say is / I'm so, I'm so, I'm so proud of you."
Drake Hashtags: Hos in different area codes, OVO
Previous Reviews: "Over My Dead Body," "Shot For Me," "Headlines," "Crew Love," "Take Care" "Marvin's Room," "Under Ground Kings," "We'll Be Fine"

The 4th EU-Africa summit brought together more than 60 EU and African leaders, and a total of 90 delegations, to discuss the future of EU-Africa relations and reinforce links between the two continents.
In the summit declaration, leaders highlighted the close nature of EU-Africa relations and the shared values of democracy, respect for human rights, the rule of law and good governance as well as the right to development.
Leaders recognised the importance of peace and security as essential prerequisites for development and prosperity. In particular, they confirmed their commitment to enhancing political dialogue on international criminal justice and universal jurisdiction. Leaders also gave their support to the African aspiration and commitment to ensuring peace and stability in Africa and agreed to support African capabilities in this area through any available means, with a particular focus on capacity-building. Both continents agreed to strengthen common effort to fight international terrorism and to combat the spread of small arms.
Leaders pledged to pursue policies to create jobs and stimulate long-term growth on both continents. In particular the two continents agreed to cooperate more closely in the field of maritime policy. The EU also underlined its commitment to continuing to support African countries in the preparation of climate-resilient and low-emission development strategies. Leaders on both sides highlighted the importance of ensuring prudent and transparent management of respective natural resources, and responsible mineral sourcing. The summit declaration also underlines the importance of encouraging greater investment and economic development within and between countries in both continents, alongside developing transport, access to drinking water and to sustainable and affordable energy.
The summit recognised the importance of upholding human rights in both continents and confirmed a joint commitment to continuing efforts towards reaching the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. On the question of education, leaders agreed to pursue policies to promote inclusive job creation with a focus on young people and women, and to promote student exchange programmes between the two continents and within Africa. The summit highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach to tackle the serious social and human impact of irregular migration. Leaders reiterated a shared commitment to fight human trafficking and to ensure the respect of human rights for all migrants. The summit also adopted a separate declaration on migration and mobility.
The summit also confirmed the commitment of both continents to the objectives set out in the 2007 Joint Africa-EU Strategy. However, leaders agreed that the implementation of the Joint Strategy should be further improved and that cooperation should be guided by a results-oriented approach. The summit therefore adopted a roadmap to frame EU-Africa relations for 2014-2017. The roadmap covers 5 key priorities and areas for joint action:
For each of these objectives, the roadmap details actions at interregional, continental or global levels which are expected to have a real impact on the people of both continents.
Discussions at the summit focused on the theme "Investing in People, Prosperity and Peace", with a working session devoted to each of the 3 areas.
This first working session looked at issues related to peace and security. Leaders discussed instability in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Sudan and Somalia, and the impact of these conflicts elsewhere. Other topics for discussion included development support, peacekeeping missions, stopping the proliferation of small arms, counter terrorism, border security and sexual violence against women.
Topics under discussion during this session included trade, investment, employment, infrastructure, ensuring effective and reliable energy supplies in Africa, and the management of natural resources.
People are at the heart of the EU-Africa partnership, so policy strategies must deliver benefits to citizens. Topics under discussion during this working session included education and training, poverty, climate change, health, migration and mobility.
The 4th EU-Africa Summit took place in Brussels on 2-3 April 2014. It brought together African and EU leaders, as well as the leaders of EU and African Union institutions. Previous summits took place in Cairo (2000), Lisbon (2007) and Tripoli (2010).
A number of important related events took place in the run-up to the 2014 EU-Africa summit.
In the margins of the EU-Africa summit, Herman Van Rompuy, UN SG Ban Ki-moon, the French President Francois Hollande, President Abdel Aziz of Mauritania and several African and European leaders attended a special high-level meeting on the Central African Republic.
On the occasion of the 2014 EU-Africa Summit, EU Climate Action Commissioner, Connie Hedegaard, the President of the African Ministerial Conference on Environment (AMCEN), Binilith Mahenge, and the African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, Rhoda Tumusiime, hosted a ministerial climate seminar in Brussels on 1 April 2014.
The two parliaments met to prepare the parliamentary input to the EU-Africa summit. The event brought together 23 members from each parliament to discuss the most pressing topics of EU-Africa relations, as well as ways to improve the implementation of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy in the near future.
The event brought together around 70 youth representatives from both continents to develop a common youth vision and to identify specific youth initiatives to be followed up and possibly implemented in the coming years.
The Forum brought together about 500 participants including private sector representatives, business people from across Europe and Africa and government officials from both continents. It offered the private sector a high level platform to engage in a constructive dialogue with political leaders from the EU and Africa.
This two-day meeting, organised by the European Economic and Social Committee together with African partners, brought together representatives of employers, workers and various interests (particularly farmers and consumers) from both continents. Participants discussed the most pressing issues on both sides of the Mediterranean, such as youth unemployment, food security and social protection.
This two-day meeting of the Africa-EU Energy Partnership involved African and European ministers, AU and EU Commissioners, as well as policy-makers, representatives from regional institutions, international organisations, the banking and finance industry, the private sector, academia, civil society and media.
The meeting looked at the nature and successes of Africa-EU cooperation on energy and future energy challenges facing the two continents.
This 22nd African Union summit brought together leaders from the African Union Member States. It was also used to launch 2014 as the Year of Agriculture and Food Security, and mark the 10th Anniversary of the adoption of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP).
Representatives from 32 African and 36 European civil society organisations met to develop ideas to review the implementation of the Joint Africa-EU Strategy, ensure full participation of civil society in the EU-Africa Partnership, to evaluate past experiences and discuss the future of the partnership. Civil society representatives participating in the forum identified a number of policy proposals and recommendations which will be presented to the EU-Africa summit in April 2014.

StuntBums: We all know stunting is pretty popular in India, but we certainly don't know what exactly is going on over there, if you could break it down for us.
Ghost Ryderz: Stunt riding has been going on India for a pretty long time say around 6-7 years. But the last 3-4 years can be marked as the most 'pumped' up season in the Indian stunting scenario. This can be mainly associated with the launch of some good bikes by Indian bike makers as well as the influence of foreign stunt videos on the internet. Add to this a sense of competition in the minds of the youngsters over here, and you have the perfect combo for stunt riding spreading like virus all over.
During the initial years, stunt riding was considered a menace; its better to say that it was a menace on its own. Just like any other street sport, a lot of stunt riders took it to the streets and that actually turned out to be a public nuisance and in general there was a certain degree of 'notorious-ity' associated with stunt riders, stunt bikes as well as stunt teams. But gradually there was this process of evolution which included stunt practices being done in closed areas, usage of proper stunting gear and proper publicity.
One major turning point in the stunting scenario will be colleges inviting motorcycle stunt riders to perform for events at their premises as part of any technical/cultural show. This proved to be a big boost for stunt riders all over the country as this helped them to get a huge impact on the minds of youngsters as well as pump up their publicity too!!
Later the involvement of Bajaj Pulsar and MTV India to bring out a reality television series based on stunt riding called Pulsar MTV Stunt Mania has been a huge success and was efficient in getting stunt riding to the masses. Stunt Mania has just completed it's third season.
It would be bad at our part if we didnt mention Chris Pfeiffer at this point as his visits to India can be said as the catalyst to the ultimate stunting reaction going on here. We were lucky enough to have performed with him at some venues around the country. And today stunting is at once of its best times. People have begun seeing motorcycle stunting as a sport, they come with their families to watch stunt shows and enjoy it. This is something that we never expected from the Indian crowds; but it has happened and we are happy!!
StuntBums: Tell us about the Ghost Ryderz.
Ghost Ryderz: We are the Ghost Ryderz (GRz in short). The name came up after the famous hollywood flick by Nicholas Cage with an 'almost-similar name was released and was a big hit over here. We started off as a group of guys who share a passion for motorcycles in general. Starting off with city rides which then transformed to long rides and finally transforming into stunt riding, GRz has a long story within itself.
Currently we are India's no:1 stunt riding team with a host of accomplishments. The stunt team consists of 8-10 members out of which 5 stunters namely Mikhil (aka Phenom), Srikanth(aka Brutus), Abhishek( aka Neo), Senthil (aka Dauntless) and Saravana (aka Damboy) form the core team. The five of us perform round the country for different shows and events, and guess what every one of us love this sport so much that we don't invest our time in anything else!
On a whole, its practice sessions and shows round the year. The five main stunters are from the southern part of India ( Kerala and TamilNadu). We have been practicing stunts for almost the last 4 years. Recently, the shows have outnumbered our practice session though!
As of today the team has performed more than 100 stunt shows and took part in numerous number of promotional and movie shoots.
StuntBums: What bikes do you ride and what are your favorite tricks?
Ghost Ryderz: The bikes over here are single cylinder, around 20-25bhp easy-to handle machines. We use Bajaj Pulsar 220s which are the best Indian manufactured motorcycle available right now for stunt riding. One of the big advantages of these bikes would be their ease of owning and maintenance. We would love to have the big inline-fours though!
Currently our favorite tricks would be combo circles and really long rolling stoppies as these are considered kinda difficult on our small and low powered bikes and we want to prove otherwise.
