The 1960s
The 1960s Terms
Tet OffensiveA North Vietnamese and Vietcong surprise attack on American forces during the Vietnamese New Year holiday in 1968; many Americans, alarmed by the brutal fighting and the high numbers of casualties on both sides, began to call for the U.S. to withdraw from the war.
A military offensive launched by the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong in January 1968. South Vietnamese and American forces eventually repel the attack, but the strength of the offensive contradicts President Johnson's promises that "peace is at hand." American support for the war in Vietnam decreases.
The New FrontierA label attached to the ambitious and forward-looking presidential agenda of John F. Kennedy. This agenda included the creation of a health care plan for the elderly, increased federal aid to education, and the renewal of America's cities through a newly organized department of urban affairs. He promised to extend American good will around the world through the creation of the Peace Corps and to restore America's scientific status by landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
Mississippi Summer ProjectThe National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Congress of Racial Equality, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference organized this project in 1964. More than a thousand northern volunteers, most of them college students, joined African American organizers in registering black voters and organizing "freedom schools" as alternatives to the segregated and poorly funded southern public school system.
The Great SocietyA package of legislation passed during the presidency of Lyndon Johnson aimed at securing "abundance and liberty for all. . . . an end to poverty and racial injustice."60 Individual measures committed federal dollars to the renewal of America's cities and the development of mass transit systems. Federal aid to education was increased and Head Start for disadvantaged pre-schoolers and the Job Corp for high school dropouts were created. The safety net of social services was expanded through the introduction of food stamps and low-income rent subsidies. The Office of Economic Opportunity was created to assist in training and placing the unemployed. Medicare and Medicaid were established to provide health care for the elderly and poor.
Freedom RidersA group of civil rights activists organized in 1961 by the Congress of Racial Equality to challenge segregation laws by travelling together on buses and trains into the Deep South. In response to these "Freedom Rides," the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the desegregation of all interstate buses, trains, and terminals in September 1961.
Peace CorpsFounded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, the Peace Corps aimed to disseminate good will and practical knowledge throughout the poorer countries of the world by enlisting volunteers, most under age 30, to two-year terms of service.
FilibusterA procedural technique used by members of the Senate to block a particular bill by speaking (or threatening to speak) forever, thus preventing progress to a vote. Since the Senate does not set time limits on debate, it is possible for a senator to take the floor and hold it for as long as he can continue talking; only a special cloture vote of three-fifths of the Senate can cut off his time. A successful filibuster can kill legislation otherwise favored by a majority (but not a three-fifths supermajority) of the Senate.
A procedural device used in the United States Senate to defeat or delay a bill. As senators are generally allowed to speak for unlimited periods of time, a senator may attempt to speak until the bill is removed from consideration. The Senate may invoke "cloture" by a three-fifths vote ending the filibuster and forcing a vote.
Brown V BoardIn this 1954 case, the United States Supreme Court reversed the 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson and ordered the integration of America's schools with "all deliberate speed." Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that the doctrine of separate but equal had no place in education as "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." Drawing upon psychological studies as well as legal principles, Warren argued that separating black children "from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone." Warren held that the obligation of the Court to redress this inequity was all the greater because the detrimental impact of segregation was "greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group."8
Civil Rights Act Of 1957The first federal civil rights act since Reconstruction, this 1957 law sought to protect African American voting right through the creation of a civil rights division in the Justice Deparment. As persons accused of violating the law's provisions were subject to jury trials in southern courts enforcement of the law was largely ineffective
GI BillPassed by Congress toward the end of World War II, the GI Bill, or Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, assisted soldiers in their adjustment to civilian life. GIs were provided with money for education and low-interest loans allowing them to purchase homes and start businesses.
KeynesianAn approach to economic policy shaped by British economist John Maynard Keynes. Widely adopted during the Great Depression, "Keynesian" economics emphasizes government's use of demand-side tax cuts and government spending to stimulate economic growth during periods of recession.
Demand-Side Tax CutsTax reductions aimed at middle and lower class consumers on the premise that increased consumer spending is the most effective way to stimulate economic growth. The alternative is "supply-side" tax cuts aimed at the production side of the economy—businesses, corporations, and wealthy individuals—on the premise that their tax savings will be re-invested in the economy generating growth.
"Kennedy's Crash"On 28 May 1962 the stock market fell 6%, largely in reaction to Kennedy administration criticisms of US Steel. President John Kennedy's reported outburst that "all businessmen were sons of bitches," and Attorney General Robert Kennedy's convening of a grand jury to investigate US Steel, led investors to fear further administration attacks on big business.61
YippiesOne of the many loosely organized factions engaged in political activism and cultural criticism during the 1960s. Many saw in their emergence a transformation in the youth movement away from sober social commentary and toward street theater and symbolic cultural commentary. At the 1968 Democratic Convention, yippies held a rally for Pigasus—a pig that was nominated for president.
Reserve ClauseUntil 1975, a rigorously enforced provision in all major league baseball contracts tying a player to one team for the duration if his career unless traded.
AntitrustA body of law aimed at eliminating monopolies and maintaining fair business practices.
Free AgencyStatus obtained by baseball players after six years in the major leagues. The reserve clause, which tied players to one team for the duration of their careers, was interpreted narrowly in 1975; in 1998, it was abolished by the United States Congress. As a result, players become "free agents" after six seasons and may negotiate a contract with the any team.
CommodificationThe process of converting something into a commodity; for example, the conversion of the 1960s cultural movement into a set of clothes and goods that can be purchased.
"Silent Majority"A term applied to the more conservative members of American society during the 1960s. The phrase was meant to suggest that the highly visible and vocal student protestors and countercultural activists did not represent most Americans.

TC TO JOHN ROBERTSON; 16 May 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18470516-TC-JRO-01; CL 21:210-211.
Chelsea, 16 May, 1847—
Dear Robertson,— Thanks for the Newspaper; which I return. It appears to me the Edinburgh Critics have jumped, upon a most questionable warrant, to a conclusion which closely approaches the incredible! I have seen Burns's handwriting, which to Miller is so "deep-mouthed," so &c. &c.1—and it much resembles that of any practical substantial Scotchman who learned to write about the year 1770; that of my own Father, for example, and of my Wife's Grandfather. Totally unable to carry (without much additional support) any such speculation as this!— I think they had better try their old Paraphrase Manuscript (if indeed it is worth trying, or minding) with the handwriting of Logan, Blair,2 or with almost any other revd Native, than with that of a poor Ayrshire peasant lad, scarcely turned of 20 at that date,—and much more like cutting a dark [day's work] of peats than trying his hand at Assembly Psalmodies!
I go out daily to walk, a little before 3 o'clock,—often with a rather vague aim: if I came athwart you anywhere, it would certainly tend to lighten my steps; and improve the summer breezes for me.
In haste / Yours ever truly / T. Carlyle

yes it is in middletown, nice little place. rock music mainly.
I have been busy, super busy. Plus don't get on the computer too much anymore, and am not a fan of visiting TD on the iPad. Don't know why, but I know I just don't like it.
Not to mention, being down for that little bit of time, pretty much stopped me from visiting on a daily basis, well because it was down. So it got tossed in the routine. Guess I should try and bring it back in.
Plus the topics are not all that appealing to me either. I for one like the dumb stuff, and miss my buddy......Epic
max1- ima "swallow or its gone in yer eye kinda guy"
EpicWin-"is that why Cracker wears an eye patch?"
cracker- "I knew max was a homo when I realized that his d--k tasted like s--t!"
I'm up for going to Stanleys sometime. As with Bellicose, my routine got messed up plus I'm crazy busy at work so my during the work day surfing is now pretty much nill.
You all are missing a fun time in Middletown
I'm finally, finally working again. So between that and running kids every where I am just beat most nights which is when I really had time for the computer. I'm wired to be a night owl, but getting up at the butt crack of dawn and being on my feet all day has me in bed around 10 PM most nights. And like some others I really miss some of the old regular posters and the joking around.
You can only make a mistake once. After that it's a choice.
I'm drunk at Tom fooolerus, you guys suck
TalkPa.net - Pennsylvania's Forum
I've been busy with the "Occupy Your Job" movement...its not a glamorous as the Occupy Delaware thing is, but it pays the bills!
Drinking alcohol in Kentucky is considered being "sober" until you cannot hold on to the ground.
I'm too old and boring to be missed.

INDIANAPOLIS - After getting just "enough sleep to make it this morning," New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning met with the media Monday and was formally presented with his new Corvette for winning the Super Bowl XLVI MVP award. Now a two-time Super Bowl MVP, Manning said he enjoyed the victory with family, friends and teammates, including big brother Peyton.
"I got to be with Peyton a little bit. And he was just proud of me, he was proud of the team," Eli said. "And the quarterback that Peyton is, he knows the game well and he asks questions a lot of people won't ask. Like the touchdown to Victor Cruz (in the first quarter), he asked if I saw that middle linebacker running out there. And I didn't. ...
"And then he talked about the throw to (Mario) Manningham (in the fourth quarter). He was mad, said everybody was talking about what a great catch it was. He said it was a pretty good throw also. That's a brother looking out for me. He was proud of me and happy for me."
That throw led to the Giants' game-winning touchdown in their 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots. And Manning became just the fifth player in NFL history to win Super Bowl MVP awards, joining legends Joe Montana, Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw and Tom Brady.
When asked when was the last time he had bragging rights over Peyton, who has won one Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts, Eli, said, "This isn't about bragging rights. This is a lot bigger. This is about a team, an organization being named world champions. That was the ultimate goal. That's the only thing I care about, and Peyton and I both know that's the goal every year."
Manning also shrugged off a question about whether his throw to Manningham - a 38-yarder from his own 12-yard line in a tight window down the left sideline - was the best of his career under the circumstances.
"I don't know. I'm not good at ranking my throws," Manning said. "It was the Super Bowl, and a tight throw. But I didn't have any questions. I felt the safety was inside. I wasn't worried about whether it'd be an interception or a dangerous throw when the ball was released. I saw a window, I felt confident about it. I didn't think much about it. I just saw where Mario was, and a lot of throws are muscle memory. You don't think about how far to throw it or what to do. You see your receiver and make the throw, and hopefully you put it in a good spot where he can catch it. And he made a great play."

The Feb. 18, 2014 Mega Millions results are in, so grab your tickets and see if you're one of the lottery winners! The Mega Millions winning numbers are 23, 29, 31, 37, 70, the Mega Ball number is 14, and the Megaplier is X 5. According to MLive.com Wednesday, Feb. 19, there were no Mega Millions jackpot winners last night.
It's not all bad news though. The good news is the jackpot rolled over and is now worth $172 million annuity, or $94 million in cash! The final Feb. 18, 2014 Mega Millions results also revealed a number of high-tier lottery winners will be taking home hundreds of thousands of dollars very soon.
Mega Millions Lottery Winners 2/18/2014
It was a lean night last night for Mega Millions. Not only were there no Mega Millions jackpot winners Tuesday night, but there was only one (1) Match 5 + 0 winner for $1 million. The newly minted millionaire purchased their Mega Millions winning ticket from the Florida Lottery and matched five out of six white Mega Millions winning numbers, missing only the gold Mega Ball number for the second place prize. Sadly, the Florida Mega Millions lottery winner was just one number away from the massive $154 million jackpot.
There were thirty-one (31) Match 4 + 1 winners that will be receiving checks for $5,000 each. The winners correctly matched four out of five white Mega Millions winning numbers, AND the gold Mega Ball number for the third-tier prize. Three (3) Match 4 + 1 winners purchased Megaplier tickets which means their prize winnings instantly multiplied to $25,000 instead of the standard prize of $5,000.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot in lottery history was $656 million (cash option of $474 million). It was split by three Mega Millions lottery winners on March 30, 2012. See the article Illinois, Kansas, Maryland lottery winners share Mega Millions winning numbers for more details.
When is the Next Mega Millions Drawing?
The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Feb. 21, 2014, at 11 p.m. EST. Friday's estimated jackpot is $172 million annuity, or $94 million cash-value before taxes. Mega Millions winning numbers are drawn Tuesday and Friday evenings at 11 p.m. EDT at WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia. Mega Millions tickets are sold in 42 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands and cost $1 each. Add another $1 for the Megaplier option and you could instantly multiply your prize winnings!
Latest Powerball Results
The most recent Powerball winning numbers for Feb. 15, 2014, were 2, 9, 14, 21, 23, and the red Powerball number was 3. There were no Powerball jackpot winners Saturday night. Read the article Powerball winning numbers results: Texas, Florida, Ohio lottery winners score for more information. Don't miss Wednesday's Powerball drawing. The Feb. 20 jackpot is for an estimated $400 million! Don't miss it!

Road Cycling
Boasting more than 500 miles of metro bikeways, Tucson was recently named the third-best cycling city in the country by Bicycling magazine. Road bikers will feel right at home on the paved streets of the Old Pueblo, which feature wide, designated bike paths on most of its roads.
Incredible Road Bike Rides
Competitive road bikers can not only train in Tucson, but also compete here in Southern Arizona's premier cycling event: Perimeter Bicycling's El Tour de Tucson. This 110-mile road bike race attracts more than 9,000 participants each November and is the largest "perimeter" cycling event in the country. El Tour de Tucson has events for all riding levels, with courses ranging from 31 miles to the 110-miler.
Join local pros and top amateurs for the Shootout Ride on Saturday mornings from FairWheel Bikes. The ride gets out of town nice and leisurely and then picks it up to just subsonic once it hits Valencia Road. Call Fair Wheel Bikes for start times, and expect groups up to 200 riders in the winter. Be aware, the Shootout is not recommended for beginners.
Road riders seeking a muscle-busting challenge can take on the 26-mile (one-way) Catalina Highway, which twists and turns from the desert floor to the top of Mount Lemmon's Ski Valley - a 2-plus-hour, 5%-grade, uphill excursion that takes adventurous riders up roughly 6,000 feet in elevation. The climb upward takes bikers from the cacti and warm, arid desert climate to the high-elevation pines and 30-degree temperature drop atop the mountain. Though the trip up is slow, bikers can enjoy a neary all-downhill cruise back down the mountain, reaching speeds of 40 miles per hour in places.
A popular training route begins on the north side of Tucson and stretches up through the Town of Oro Valley. Beginning at River Road & Oracle Road, the ride is all uphill one way - with both gentle slopes and steep climbs. Riders head north past the western slopes of the Catalina Mountains as far up Oracle Road as they wish, before turning around for the relaxing coast back down to Tucson.
The 34-mile McCain Loop route begins in midtown Tucson at the campus of the University of Arizona and loops over scenic Gates Pass and through the towering cacti of Saguaro National Park. The ride takes bikers past downtown and through sloping mountain passes, to the flat, fast roads near Tucson Mountain Park.
Many other routes created by local Tucson cyclists can be found on the MapMyRide.com website as well as the Greater Arizona Bicycling Association (GABA) website.
Like to hear the crunch of dirt under your two wheels? Take a look at all of the incredible mountain biking trails that Tucson has to offer.

I have Lyman's 49th edition manual, a Lee 4 turret press, using barry's 115 gr FMJ RN, and Unique powder. For the 9mm, it shows the trim-to length to be .751". On the same page, there is a diagram that shows the case length as .754". I thought the .751" was to be the max? Why the discrepancy?
The Lyman is the only manual I have and the only 115 gr "recipe" they have is for Jacked HP. Does the grains or OAL change significantly between FMJ and JHP?
For the 147 recipe they list that as TMJ. The appendix says this is Totally Metal Jacket (Speer). Is this just speer's version of a FMJ? Would using a non speer bullet use the same specs?
I am looking for another manual to have as cross reference but not sure which to add.
Sorry if I jumped around, I thought I had a handle on this stuff but rereading things gave me pause.
Thanks in advance!

NSA leaker Edward Snowden has been elected leader of the student government at the University of Glascow, according to a Feb. 18 report on MSN.com. The position is formally known as rector, but it is doubtful that Snowden will appear in person to receive his honors. The former NSA contractor, wanted by the United States government for releasing documents that shed light on the government's surveillance of Internet and telephone conversations, has been living in Russia where he has been granted temporary asylum.
Like Winnie Mandela, a previous elected leader at the University of Glascow, it was never expected that Snowden would be there. He was elected as a "statement about democratic rights." The students referred to Edward Snowden as a "whistle-blower" in their statement, quoted by MSN.com:
"We showed Edward Snowden and other brave whistleblowers that we stand in solidarity with them, regardless of where they are."
There has been a dual nature to this story from the beginning. There is one side of the argument that insists that Snowden is no less than a traitor in the American tradition. Meanwhile, he is heralded as a hero by those who are very concerned about government over-reach.
Regardless of the true nature of his actions, he is now the symbolic head of the student group at University of Glascow.

Once you are called into the exam room, the clinical assistant will obtain your child's height, weight and temperature. Your child may then be examined by a nurse practitioner or orthopedic resident before being seen by your physician. If x-rays are needed, you will be sent to radiology and then return to the orthopedic center. If you have other x-rays or studies (such as MRIs, CT scans, and bone scans) relevant to your child's visit please bring them with you.
Please bring your insurance card with you to every visit. At every visit, we verify your personal and insurance information to ensure accuracy. If your insurance, address or phone number has changed, please contact us so that we may update your information. This information is important in the event we need to contact you to change your appointment. If x-rays are needed on your return visit, please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your child's scheduled appointment. If your appointment is in Boston, traffic and parking in the Longwood Medical Area can often be heavy. Please take this into account as you plan your visit.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

The 2011 Summer Movie Season Begins Friday, March 4th
Posted on Monday, February 28th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
We thought global warming was heating up the planet, but really it's Hollywood. They're making it summer all year long. The first weekend of May is generally considered the beginning of the summer movie season but, as those three months got more and more crowded, that date slowly crept into late April. Now, 2011 changes that like never before.
So many potential blockbusters staked their claim on prime May, June and July 2011 release dates, in some cases, years in advance, Hollywood was forced to change its thinking more than usual. For the next two months, each and every weekend has at least one or two films that, in the past, would have easily been considered summer blockbusters and it all begins this Friday, March 4. So, is it crazy to say that the summer of 2011 begins in March? We don't think so. Look at the list of films opening between this week and Thor on May 6 and tell us that, in almost any other year, these movies would not be considered summer blockbusters. Read More »

Exclusive Report:
The Green Agenda is Green With Envy
by Cathie Adams
|Further Reading: United Nations / Global Warming
|December 6, 2011
A legally binding cap on greenhouse gas emissions to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol that expires in 2012, and approval of a Green Climate Fund, a global tax scheme on carbon emitted by international aviation and shipping, are the two major objectives at the United Nations Climate Change meeting in Durban, South Africa. Both are facades for the UN's true agenda, which is to stir up jealousy among nations so that they demand a redistribution of wealth by empowering the UN with the authority to tax, thus relieving itself of dependence upon dues paid by once-sovereign nations.
During a press conference at this second and final week of the Climate Change conference for example, the American head of delegation Todd Stern was asked, "Why should other countries take the U.S. seriously within the UN system, since the Congress has not passed legislation [to cap and tax greenhouse gas emissions]?"
Stern responded that the transportation sector is responsible for one-third of GHG emissions and that Congress has already passed legislation to require automakers to produce cars with fuel efficiency standards of 35 miles per gallon to be increased to more than 50 miles per gallon by 2020. Furthermore, Stern said that the Recovery Act gave $90 billion to produce renewable energy (Solyndra scandal), smart grids, electric car batteries, etc., adding that legislation to cap and tax GHGs by 2020 is still possible.
The U.S. "has no disagreement," according to Stern, with a legally binding agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol, but believes that conditions are not right yet for a new legally binding agreement. The U.S. wants China and other developing country GHG emitters to join the fray with no trap doors such as a financial requirement for meeting the agreement. Stern added that, "The world has changed since 1992 [when the Climate Change Treaty was signed and ratified by the U.S.] and a new Kyoto Protocol will have to reflect those changes."
Stern said the U.S. was an original proponent of the Green Climate Fund and that the COP, Conference of the Parties, would approve or disapprove a design by the Transitional Committee in Durban, adding that it would need to be under the guidance of, rather than the authority of, the COP.
The global carbon tax is likely to add ten percent to fuel costs, which have already increased 300% in the last five years. The International Maritime Organization, the UN's specialized agency responsible for improving maritime safety and preventing pollution from ships, would become the tax assessor/collector. An alternative idea is to develop regional schemes, since developing nations would be exempted from the tax. A cost analysis has already been done by the UN High Level Advisory Group on Climate Finance, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund for a G-20 report on mobilizing climate finance.
If Stern is correct that the conditions are not right for a new legally binding GHG emissions limit treaty, then our concerns this final week must center on the GCF. I have learned, however, by attending these meetings since 1995, not to trust anyone's rhetoric. Until the deal is done, the outcome is absolutely unpredictable. I plan to keep you posted.

Chicago Transit Employee Accused of Demanding "Shakedown" Bribe for 'Source Code' Film Location
Everyone gets excited when a movie is being filmed in their neck of the woods. Crowds gather around in Manhattan when they see the big lights, cables, trailers, food tent, etc.
It's a big production. And because we know someone who quit her job to make a movie, we know how much it takes to prepare for a movie shoot. You need film permits, location scouting, good contacts, etc.
And, in Chicago, apparently you need a lot of money. According to this report, Jonathan Gottlieb, a Metra special transportation services manager, demanded that the film location manager for the movie 'Source Code' pay additional costs that were above and beyond the negotiated $19,000 contract for the movie shoot.
What might these include?
$2,000 to Gottlieb for his hard work (cash, delivered in an envelope Chicago "shakedown" style)
$1,900 to his condo association to allow the crew to park behind his building
An undisclosed amount for Gottlieb's role as an extra
On the morning of the first shoot, the complainant said, Gottlieb was furious to learn the money would not be delivered and said told her she'd never be able to work with Metra again.
Cue the cops. When questioned about the whether or not he argued for this kickback, he denied it, only to "retire" from this $73,000 job shortly after the allegations. Convenient timing if you ask us.

I had my NT testing done yesterday and was beyond shocked to learn that the ratio for having my baby born with DS is 1:6. This is my 2nd pregnancy...the first time, I had a healthy baby girl. There is no history of any type of birth defects or genetic disease in either my or ny husband's family. The nuchal fold was measured at 3 mm, which after reading many posts on here, I have realized that a 3 mm reading isn't really that bad, but then I found out that the nasal bone is absent. After doing tons of research on Baby Center and the Internet, I also understand that it's often very difficult to find the nasal bone so early on, and there are many factors that must be taken into consideration. I wasn't too concerned until I learned that with both markers, the chances of DS increase beyond significantly. I am wondering if anyone else out there has experienced a similar situation, and what the outcome turned out to be. I will get the blood work done today and then, if the results come back positive, I will get an amnio. I appreciate any feedback.
So, it's been a little over a year since I first had my sequential screening, and I have to say that I still remember the feelings I had when I was told my risk was 1:6 as if it were yesterday. My son is 6 months old today, and he is doing wonderfully. To think that, at this time last year, DH and I were on pins and needles trying to decide what to do and waiting to learn what would be, makes me sad for us in the past, but blessed in the here and now. Anyway, I'm feeling quite reflective and just wanted to share my thoughts. This month, one year ago, was one of the hardest times of my life.
ETA: Bumped on the wrong board. My bad. :)

Intelligent Network Security: New Threats Demand New Strategies
The network is the door to your organization for both legitimate users and would-be attackers. For years, IT professionals have built barriers to prevent any unauthorized entry that could compromise the organization's network. What constitutes "network security" is constantly evolving, due to traffic growth, usage trends and the ever-changing threat landscape. For example, the widespread adoption of cloud computing, social networking and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs are introducing new challenges and threats to an already complex network. Despite this tumultuous environment, IT departments are tasked with architecting networks capable of securing against known threats, quickly deploying new services and easily scaling with changes in demand. Read the full Intelligent Network Security: New Threats Demand New Strategies White Paper.

PEMBROKE, Mass. — I meet lots of drycleaners who are looking to sell. There's nothing wrong with that, but there is a time to sell and a time not to sell. This is a time not to sell. Wait a few years, and it should be a better market. You might even double your price if you wait. Here's why.
The current economic situation is quite tenuous. Now, nobody is ever really sure what's going on, but the last few years have been particularly iffy. In 2008, the economy almost collapsed. We have not experienced such a crisis since the Great Depression. Government tinkering averted a complete meltdown, but the fear of that almost-catastrophe lingers.
The economic situation is looking up. Major companies such as Microsoft, Intel and Exxon have billions in their tills. The stock market has recovered, and the future looks promising. If you'd invested $100,000 in the market at the depth of the recession, you might have $140,000 now.
Despite recent hikes in gasoline and food prices, inflation is more or less in check. Unemployment is heading downward slowly, though some pockets of the country have huge depletions of jobs. Still, there is much more opportunity today than there was two years ago.
Despite this good news, many are still afraid of what's around the corner. Owners feel that their enterprise, no matter how successful, could slide out of profitability if an unfortunate event occurred. For example, a few key employees could quit and re-emerge as competitors. A major customer could switch providers. Or a key wholesaler could go out of business, and have to be replaced at greater cost.
In the old days (let's say 2005), the buccaneers of business were brash. They weren't worried about a contingency, because they had confidence in themselves. They knew they had the stuff to meet any challenge. Today, they keep a low profile and hope for the best. Some owners worry that the marketplace will do them in. Many small operations are marginal, and their owners consider walking away every day.
Recently, Borders declared bankruptcy and closed half of its outlets. In moments of despair, many a business owner says, "If a company with name recognition and a market presence like Borders can't make it, how will I?" Fear fuels such thoughts.
As one economist says, "We are advancing, but progress seems hollow and tentative." The prevailing attitude is that now is not the time to go into business. And anyone contemplating buying a business will think that it can be had for a steal. Profit projections are suspect; the prospect wonders why you're selling. Is it because the business is collapsing?
Say you set the price at $300,000. The prospective buyer will not be interested in your estimates of future profitability. He will reduce the profit stream to zero because the future is so iffy. He will add up your assets, and offer you 80% of asset value because the risk of failure is so great. So you might be looking at a sale price of $150,000 or so—clearly not what you expected.
In two or three years, the economy should be more buoyant. Growth might not be high, maybe just 2-3%, but companies will be on a more solid footing. The financial collapse will be a thing of the past. People will say that foolish economic behavior such as approving mortgages on nothing down will never happen again. In fact, foolish economic behavior most definitely will happen again, maybe even the same things. But the conventional wisdom—that we have learned from our folly—will be the prevailing attitude.
With such an economic outlook, individuals will consider that buying a business is their way into the American dream. With this mindset, you'll get substantially more for your business. You will be able to dicker from a position of strength rather than weakness. It will make a major difference in your negotiations. Wait it out and sell at the right time.

Prove the following theorem:
Suppose $p$ is a prime number, $r$ and $s$ are positive integers and $x$ is an arbitrary integer.
Then we have $x^r \equiv x^s\bmod p$ whenever $r \equiv s \bmod (p-1)$.
Prove the following theorem:
Let $r-s=k(p-1)$ where k is a non-negative integer (assume wlog that r>=s) Using Fermat's little theorem we know that $x^{p-1}=1$ (mod $p$) therefore $x^{k(p-1)}=1$ (mod $p$).
Thus, $x^{r-s}=1$ (mod p). Now multiply by $x^s$ to get: $x^r=x^s$ (mod p)

The theatrical release was heavily promoted and it was long-anticipated by fans of the original, but 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' finally arrives on DVD.
Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and Veronica Corningstone (ChristineApplegate) have moved on from San Diego, as married New York co-anchors of a prime time news show. A decision comes from the network to promote Veronica and fire Ron which sends his life and marriage into a tailspin. They separate and Ron retreats back to San Diego, leaving their son Walter (Judah Nelson) behind.
As expected, Ron can't keep it together and is on the verge of suicide before being approached by GNN (Global News Network) which has the revolutionary idea of being the first 24 hour news network. To lure Ron to the network, they agree to take on his old comrades Champ Kind (David Koechner), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell). This makes everyone happy until they realize that they are to be on late at night while egotistical hotshot Jack Lime (James Marsden) is on at prime time.
Thus begins a series of events which sees the old news team trying to recapture their swagger, to overcome their inter and intra-network rivals, and for Ron to get his personal life in order. It's seriously a mess, people.
There is a lot more that happens and more characters that figure heavily, but those are the bare bones of the plot.
This sequel is extremely aware of what came before it. Elements that worked before are brought back bigger than before. It's not essential to the experience, but this really does reward fans of the first film with copious amounts of callbacks. Brick, was a fan favorite character and Carell's career has really taken off since then, so he is much more prominently featured in this film. Say what you will about that safe approach, but it's also giving people what they expect/want.
Anyone who has watched any of the 24 hour news networks will recognize a lot of what this film is commenting on: the relentless pandering, the lack of substance, the quest for ratings over substance. Even fictionalized and exaggerated, the general idea likely very true.
On the slight downside, there isn't that much of a plot. The movie is really just a series of things that happen to Ron that he and his news team overcomes. He meets a rival and that mostly resolves itself very quickly. He becomes romantically involved with his boss and that eventually seems to be forgotten. Over halfway through the story, Ron is forced to spend quality time with his son who he realizes that he has been ignoring this whole time. Later, Ron goes blind and....you'll see. Many of the big events in the film seem to simply be an excuse to continue the silliness and to get us to the next chapter.
This is probably Ferrell's defining character, as good as many of his other movies have been. He owns the movie and almost every line that Carell offers is worth at least a chuckle. Once again, Koechner and Rudd are shoved into the background, a few scenes aside. Kristen Wiig has a nice little role and some of the biggest actors/figures in Hollywood stop by to have some fun.
Special features include: nothing on the bare-bones DVD edition. If you spring for a special Blu-Ray pack, you get numerous deleted scenes, alternate takes and an extended cut of the film, along with a host of other goodies.
To fans of the first film, 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' has a good idea about what you liked before and delivers it again. That doesn't make for a groundbreaking classic, but it does make for a fun movie to watch with your friends and laugh at on repeat viewings.
Add an extra half star to this.
Rated R 119 minutes 2013

We have said this maybe five or six times at least in the past 10 years and still here it comes again. Is this Bill Belichick's best coaching job? Maybe 2001 was Belichick's best, taking 27 free agents and turning a 5-11 team into improbable super bowl champions.
How about 2008 when Tom Brady went down with a season ending knee injury in the 1st quarter of the first game and Belichick went with unproven Matt Cassel and went 11-5? Could it be 2010, when he booted Randy Moss off the team, and while everyone bashed him, the Patriots finished 14-2 after returning to the old Patriot way.
Wait a minute, could 2011 be his best? Well that story isn't finished, but the point is Bill Belichick always seems to get better that you have to say "is this his best?"
When you are coaching guys like Sterling Moore or Antwuan Molden or keeping the center position steady through a rash of injuries, people notice. By the way, there hasn't been one botched snap under center and only one missed shotgun snap.
The Patriots are so fundamentally sound year from year that the model has been set. When things get rocky, New England fans don't worry much, citing "in Bill we trust". But seriously, what was Bill's best coaching job? How about 2007 when the Patriots pounded the NFL into submission, going 16-0 in the regular season? Remember NFL crying about how the Patriots were running up the score.
Could it be 2003? 42 different starters or after a 2-2 start the Patriots went on a 21 game winning streak that went into 2004 that included a super bowl win. Do you remember the Monday night game where Belichick had the offense take an intentional safety in order to get the ball back with time to win the game against the Broncos.
What about 2004? We know they were loaded, but an unproven Asante Samuel and Randall Gay as starting corners and using Troy Brown defensive back? Remember Hank Poteat, the original Phillip Adams (released yesterday, but he'll be back).
Maybe it was 2006 when Belichick went 12-4 and went into the playoffs with only three wide receivers; a tough as nails team that went to top seed San Diego and stomped on their logo, then got beat by the flu and the thermostat Bill Polian turned up in Indy.
There are so many places you can point to and say "Yeah, that was the best", but it's hard to single one team out. Isn't it funny that you can just keep rattling off teams and moments to put up against each other?

Suppose that $X = (x_{ij})n*2$ follows a bivariate normal distribution $\mathcal{N}(\mu, \sigma^2I)$, where I is the $2\times 2$ identity matrix. How to find the maximum likelihood estimates of $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$? Specifically, how to deal with the determinant part in the density formula of bivariate normal distribution? Thanks!

If $X$ is a $m\times n$ matrix with $n$ random vectors distributed identically as $\mathcal{N}(\mu,\sigma^2 I_{m\times m})$, and if the random vectors are independent then you can write the joint distribution of the vectors as $$p(x_1,x_2,\cdots,\ x_n)=\prod_{i=1}^np(x_i)\\=\frac{1}{(2\pi)^{mn/2} \sigma^{mn}}\exp\left(-\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^m(x_{ji}-\mu_{j})^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)$$ So, to find the MLE of $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ find the simultaneous solutions of $$\nabla_{\mu}p(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)=0\\ \frac{\partial p(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)}{\partial \sigma^2}=0$$

Just about the only thing our cars all have in common is the fact that every one has tires. While the technology has evolved over the years from tires with inner tubes to bias-ply tubeless to radials to run-flat radials, the fundamental facts remain the same. The relatively small area of the tire tread that touches the road - called the contact patch - is all that stands between your car's rims and the street. These four contact patches are individually only about the size of the average man's hand. Your vehicle's acceleration, braking and turning all depend on these four small scraps of rubber so it's in your best interest and the interest of those who ride with and around you to regularly perform some very basic preventive maintenance.
Here are ten tips from Pirelli - one of the most famous tire manufacturers in the world:
Ten Commandments for Preventive Maintenance
Performance and driving safety are two key elements for Pirelli, that's why we would like to share with you some small actions that will help you drive in peace of mind and safety.
- Pressures should be periodically checked on cold tires (be sure to check the spare, your car has one).
- Never "bleed" or reduce air pressure when your tires are hot from driving, as it is normal for pressure to increase above recommended cold pressures due to friction from the road.
- Tires must be replaced when worn to the tread wear indicators, even if the wear shows only in one part of the tread.
- Check periodically for unusual wear or tread damage - especially following impacts with curbs of pot holes.
- Have your tires balanced periodically by a reputable tire dealer - especially when you feel any vibration through the steering wheel. "Spin" balancing is the most accurate method!
- When impacts or punctures occur, have a check carried out on the inside of the tire as sidewall damage could be hidden. A damaged sidewall could fail and cause a catastrophic failure called a "blowout".
- Never park over patches of oil, solvents, etc., as these chemicals will caused tire damage
- When buying new tires, comply with the sidewall speed rating and load index as defined by your vehicle's manufacturer (these specifications can be found in your vehicle's owners manual).
- Winter or studded tires must fitted in complete sets - just installing them on the drive wheels is unsafe.
- Driving style and speed directly affect tire life. The faster you drive around corners and the harder you brake will adversely affect tire life.
- When you get your car serviced - e.g., for an oil change - ask the technician to check the condition of your tires and rims. The tech should look for nails, cracks in the rim, sidewall damage and low tire pressure.
- Run Flat tires require a "Tire Pressure Monitoring" system. If your car has them, make sure it is functioning properly and that your tires are correctly inflated at all times. Should any of your Run Flat tires lose air, you can only safely drive about 50 miles on the damaged tire before it will fail completely.

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said that "life's most persistent and urgent question is 'what are you doing for others?'"
Today, as they celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s Interfaith Day of Service, 80 Catholic and Jewish teens from Westchester are giving an answer.
Forty youth from St. Peter's Parish in Yonkers and Holy Rosary in Port Chester will join 40 youth from UJA-Federation to provide a meal and activities for 300 persons in need at the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester.
The day starts early for these 80 teens as they set up, prepare and serve midday meals. They will also offer art and crafts activities for children attending the event.
The day then ends as youth lead an ecumenical period of reflection; an opportunity to build community while raising hunger awareness.
The event is part of Feeding Our Neighbors, an interfaith campaign to replenish food pantries and soup kitchens that serve those in need.
"What are you doing for others?" Rev. King asked.
Join us in answering this urgent question.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
VWR International said today it acquired United Biochemicals for an undisclosed price, in a deal that expands the global lab supply and distribution company's life sciences portfolio, about a year after the company lost a customer in the global pharma industry.
Founded in 1996, United Biochemicals (Sanborn, NY) manufactures and supplies high-purity buffers and biochemicals for research, development and manufacturing processes to biotech, pharmaceutical, cell culture media, and medical diagnostic industries.
"United Biochemicals' manufacturing expertise, combined with VWR's existing platform of chemical manufacturing assets, enhances our current offering to our biotech and pharmaceutical customers and strengthens our position in the industry," Manuel Brocke-Benz, VWR's president and CEO, said in a statement.
VWR (Radnor, PA) finished last year with net income of $3.8 million, down from $57.7 million in 2011, on net sales that dipped 0.8% to $4.13 billion. The company cited a series of acquisitions, higher charges due to cost-cutting that included the shutdown of a regional distribution center in Brisbane, CA; and an $82 million (3.4%) decline in net sales from comparable operations in the North American lab segment.
While currency changes were a factor, VWR said most of the comparable net-sales decline was due to "the loss of a global customer in the pharmaceutical industry in early 2012," according to the company's Form 10-K annual report for 2012. The customer was not identified.
Also during 2012, VWR made six acquisitions of lab supply businesses based outside the U.S. The six included a pair of Czech-based lab supply companies known as Vitrium; lab products distributor Sovereign Group, which has operations in Argentina, Brazil, and the U.S.; Lab3, a lab-supply distributor based in the U.K.; Switch, a Belgian manufacturer of cytology and histology reagents and dyes; and its distributor, the French consumables and chemicals distributor Labonord.
VWR offers products and services for labs and production facilities in pharma and biotech, as well as the industrial, educational, governmental, and healthcare industries.

Added a product review for Specialized Pitch Comp Bike 6/25/2011 1:57 PM
The Good: It compensates well for a rider lacking finesse! Confident. More than the sum of its parts. Great fun.
The Bad: It can't work miracles! Suspension has workman like damping and control.
Overall: It climbs up steep mountain passes, descends like a demon, handles rock strewn trails, bogs, drops, slabs and a fair few knocks. If you haven't for 4 grand for a 4 grand bike and can accept some compromises this will do everything the same. Slack head is great for the drops and the seat tube is steep enough for the climbs. The kit isn't fancy but incremental upgrades will only improve it. I've had mine almost a year and the bottom bracket, hubs and freewheel have succumb to bogs, rivers, rain and mud. Its showing some battle scars but the finish is holding up well.

Cowboys Begin Spring Football
Cowboys Take to the Field for the First of 15 Spring Practices on Wednesday
A Sunny Sky and Temperatures in the Mid-50s Greet Cowboys on Opening Day of Spring Football
Laramie, Wyo. (March 21, 2012) -- The Wyoming Cowboys enjoyed temperatures in the mid-50s on Wednesday as they conducted their first practice of the spring on Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. Wednesday's practice was the first of two this week that are non-contact practices. Fourth-year head coach Dave Christensen and his staff welcomed back 43 letterwinners -- 24 on defense, 17 on offense and two special teams' performers. A total of 73 players on Wyoming's 91-man roster are currently on campus, with the 2012 signing class scheduled to join the team this summer.
The Pokes practiced for two and one half hours on Jonah Field. The first of 15 spring practices follows an extensive winter-conditioning program that was completed by the Cowboys prior to an off week last week for Spring Break.
"I think we have had a very productive offseason," said Christensen. "Our players tested just before they left for spring break, and over 90 percent of our guys PR'd (set personal records) in all the areas we test. The numbers didn't climb as dramatically as they have in the past few years, but that is due to the program being more established. We don't see as many huge gains in our individual players' testing because they have been training in our system for multiple years.
"I was very pleased with the steady growth and work ethic our team exhibited again this offseason. In fact the last day of winter conditioning, we surprised them and took them over to the movie theatre as a team and watched 'Act of Valor'."
Of the 43 returning letterwinners, 14 starters from last season return, including five on offense, eight on defense and one starter on special teams. In addition to the five offensive players who started a majority of games (seven or more games) last season, there are eight other offensive players who gained some starting experience in 2011. The eight defensive players who started a majority of games a year ago will be joined by five others who have previous starting experience.
Among the returning starters on offense who return are: sophomore quarterback Brett Smith (13 starts in 2011) senior center Nick Carlson (13 starts in 2011), junior offensive guard Tyler Strong (11 starts in 2011); senior wide receiver Chris McNeill (9 starts in 2011) and junior wide receiver Robert Herron (7 starts in 2011).
Defensive starters returning this season are: senior strong safety Luke Ruff (13 starts in 2011), junior cornerback Marqueston Huff (13 starts in 2011), senior free safety Luke Anderson (12 starts in '11), senior linebacker Korey Jones (11 starts in 2011), senior defensive tackle Mike Purcell (10 starts in 2011), sophomore cornerback Blair Burns (9 starts in 2011), senior defensive end/tackle Ben Durbin (8 starts in '11) and junior linebacker Devyn Harris (7 starts in 2011).
"Going into this spring, I think we will have the most experienced team we've had since I've been here," said Christensen. "We are excited to get out there and see not only the progression our experienced players have made, but we're really looking forward to seeing which guys are going to fit in those slots that were opened up by graduation."
Among the other players with starting experience who return are two players who missed all of the 2011 season due to injury or illness. Junior defensive tackle Patrick Mertens earned Freshman All-America honors in 2010 as a redshirt freshman, but was forced to miss last season due to illness. Senior middle linebacker Oliver Schober also missed all of 2011 with an injury. A third player, redshirt sophomore running back Nehemie Kankolongo, also missed last season due to injury.
"Both Patrick (Mertens) and Oliver (Schober) have had good offseasons, and have been able to get themselves back, physically, to where they were before their illness and injury," said Christensen. "They may even be a little stronger. Nehemie (Kankolongo) has come a long way. He'll still be limited somewhat coming into spring. He's still healing and continues to rehab. But he has gotten stronger and is more explosive. He will be able to get some work done this spring, and should be full go in the fall."
This week's first two practices on Wednesday and Friday are non-contact practices. Next Monday's practice will see the Cowboys add shoulder pads, before they don full pads on Wednesday, March 28. The three initial practices will focus on fundamentals.
"The spring is of course a time to work on fundamentals,"said Christensen. "We spend a great deal of time working on fundamental drills. We will be bringing a lot of young guys along. There will of course be team periods, so players can work on getting their assignments down, but the majority of time these first couple practices before we get into pads will be spent on fundamentals.
"Once we get into full pads, we will be focusing on developing competitive situations, so that we can evaluate who the competitive individuals are and who the physical players are. The practices will become much more physical once we get in full pads."
Helping guide the Cowboys through 2012 spring drills will be two new coaches in defensive coordinator and secondary coach Chris Tormey and linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Robin Ross.
"With the addition of Chris (Tormey) and Robin (Ross), they bring about 70 years of college and pro coaching experience to our staff," added Christensen. "Both have been head coaches at the college level. They're both outstanding recruiters, and phenomenal position coaches. They just bring a lot to the table for our staff."
Tormey is entering his 33rd season as a college coach in 2012. Included in his previous 32 years of college-coaching experience were stints as head coach at Idaho from 1995-99 and at Nevada from 2000-03. The 2012 season will be the 36th season of coaching for Ross. He spent 33 of his previous 35 seasons as a college coach, and coached two years in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders in 1999 and 2000. Ross was the head coach at Western Washington University for three seasons from 2006-08.
Among the new faces on the Cowboy roster to begin spring ball are three members of the 2012 recruiting class who joined the Wyoming Football program in January. Those three are: freshman punter Tim Gleeson, freshman wide receiver Eric Nzeocha and junior offensive tackle Connor Rains.
Gleeson comes to Wyoming from Melbourne, Australia, where he played Australian Rules Football before training with ProKick Australia to become a college punter. No fewer than nine former Australians were on United States college rosters this past season as punters, including LSU All-American Brad Wing. Nzeocha is another international addition to the Cowboys. He joins his older brother Mark Nzeocha, a sophomore linebacker, on the Wyoming roster. Like his older brother, he comes to Wyoming from Neusitz, Germany, and is a former member of the German Junior National Team that placed fourth in the U19 European Championship in Spain this past year. Rains is a junior-college transfer from American River Community College in Sacramento, Calif., where he was ranked as the No. 17 best junior-college offensive tackle in the nation by JCGridiron.Rivals.com. Christensen is happy to have all three join the Cowboys this spring.
"Connor Rains will add some immediate depth at offensive tackle," said Christensen. "He needs to continue to develop his strength and learn our schemes, but he has a chance to help this coming season. Eric Nzeocha has all the measurables of a Division I wide receiver. Now it's a matter of how fast he can adjust to playing college football, can transition to the speed of the game and learn how to play at this level. But certainly he has all the tools and skills to be a successful player at this level. We'll find out a lot more about Tim Gleeson when we can get outside this week, but we know he has a strong leg."Wyoming's next practice will be Friday, March 23. Wyoming's three spring scrimmages on: Wednesday, April 4; Wednesday, April 11; and Saturday, April 21 are open to the public.

By Jamey Dunn, Illinois Issues
Just a day after passing a tax break package that would benefit some businesses, House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle Wednesday pushed for a rollback of corporate portion of the State's recent income tax increase.
"Business after business potentially will be coming to the state and looking for relief, and doing it on a per-company basis is not the way to go," House Minority Leader Tom Cross said. Under his new plan the corporate rate would drop from the current 7 percent to 6 percent in 2013 and would return to 4.8 percent, the rate before the increase, in 2014. Any unemployment rate increase of more than .3 of a percentage point over a four-month period would trigger a .25 percent reduction in the corporate tax rate as well. However, the rate could not dip below the 4.8 percent mark.
Under current law, the corporate rate won't drop to 5.25 percent until 2015 and won't hit 4.8 percent until 2025.
Another bill filed by House Democrats, would roll the tax rate back to 4.8 percent as of January. Senate President John Cullerton said he supports lowering the tax rate if the taxing base is broadened and the revenue coming in remains the same.
John Bouman, president of the Chicago-based Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law, however, said both bills do not appear to be "aimed at any kind of coherent economic or tax policy" but are instead "pretty clearly political moves" being made by lawmakers running for reelection.

Might as well since legislators are giving away the store when it comes to trying to keep large employers in the state. This way, the tax break is somewhat equitable to small companies as well. But in the meantime, it all rests on the backs of the middle class - yet again.

If you're a fan of Euro Truck Simulator and wanted to feel what it would be like to step into the physical truck, well, Oculus Rift support is now in beta form and available on Steam.
Support for Oculus Rift within Euro Truck Simulator 2 is only available in the Windows version of the simulator for now, with players being advised that they should feature a fast GPU and CPU when running the game with the VR headset. Rift integration would be an immersive experience, as you could turn your head to look for oncoming traffic, or your side mirrors or GPS. It kinda makes me want to download it.
