A Navy SEAL with cocaine worth $350,000 was caught at Miami International Airport thanks to the Navy SEAL's nervous wife who forgot the suitcase holding 10 kilos of cocaine in an overhead bin in the airplane that the couple had taken. As reported by the Miami Herald on May 3, "the cocaine-smuggling operation that ex-Navy Seal Angel Martínez-Ramos tried to pull off at Miami International Airport failed because his wife refused to follow his instructions, according to court records."
The quite interesting cocaine incident of Navy SEAL Angel Martínez-Ramos and his Colombian wife Bibiana Marcela Lopez-Correa happened last December. In January, both were indicted for the illegal drug smuggling of 10 kilos of cocaine. After first pleading not guilty, both changed their minds to guilty in March. Lopez-Gorrea was sentenced last month to almost six years in prison. Her Navy SEAL husband is scheduled to be sentenced later in May. He is facing a minimum of 10 years to a maximum of a life sentence.
Martínez-Ramos had been a Navy SEAL for 14 years and used to be responsible for anti-drug operations. He had experience working in Central and South America. After he left active duty in 2010, he continued as a member of the Naval Reserves, but apparently now on the other side of the drug-smuggling business. After his arrest, a search of the Navy SEAL's home turned up drug paraphernalia including drug testing kits, a money counter, a scale, a vacuum sealer, vacuum sealing bags, and other packaging material.
According to court documents, 36-year-old Martínez-Ramos had spent time with his wife at the Tropicana Resort in Aruba from where they couple was heading back to Miami. On the morning of Dec. 24, before leaving Aruba, the couple allegedly received a suitcase filled with 10 bricks cocaine in a bathroom at the Aruba airport by a co-conspirator. The cocaine had been tightly wrapped and packed into a black Totto brand suitcase weighing a little more than 22 pounds.
In order to avoid any suspicions, the couple had arranged to fly separately on the plane with the husband carrying his wife's luggage while she carried the suitcase with the cocaine. Upon leaving the plane at Miami International Airport, the nervous wife however forgot the luggage and the cocaine packages were discovered.
The drug-smuggling couple was unaware that DEA agents in Colombia had already alerted the United States that Martinez-Ramos was suspected of trying to bring cocaine into the U.S. Upon the married couple's arrival in Miami, agents were already expecting them.
In a Shakespearean twist to the Navy SEAL cocaine story, Martínez-Ramos's wife told investigators that she left the suitcase with the cocaine on purpose on the plane because she wanted to divorce him. According to the criminal complaint filed by the United States against Martínez-Ramos, "defendant MARTINEZ-RAMOS told her to meet him in Aruba before traveling together to the United States. Co-defendant Lopez-Correa stated that she agreed to meet defendant MARTINEZ-RAMOS because she was going to divorce him and needed to initiate divorce proceedings in the United States." As reported by the Miami Herald, Martínez-Ramos had instructed his wife to stay on the plane at Miami International Airport "until he called her on her cell phone. He never did."

In the last couple days, there has been a bit of discussion in the Perl community about the popular Moo library and how some of its recent changes have put applications at risk for sudden failure. No matter what side of the debate you're on, this is the bottom line:
Open source authors (myself included) can break your code.
If you count all the lines of code that must be deployed to run your application, most of it probably isn't yours. It's a fair bet that more than half of your stack is open source libraries. And that's great! That represents a huge amount of time and money that you didn't have to spend, not to mention many open source libraries are simply better than what you might have built on your own.
But all that open source code also represents a risk. If an upstream author introduces a bug or changes an interface, then you may find your application is suddenly broken when you upgrade to a new release. Of course, we don't deliberately try to break your application. On the contrary, most of us work extremely hard to produce high-quality code and maintain compatibility. But breakage can and does happen. At any given moment somebody, somewhere, has a broken application because some library on CPAN/RubyGems/PyPi has changed. Are you going to be next?
Some development teams have been burned by these changes so many times they avoid upgrading libraries like the plague, or just prohibit using them altogether. But we all know that's not the right answer either. Postponing upgrades just compounds the risk, and reinventing wheels (badly) is an expensive disservice to your customers. Open source dependencies are a necessity for today's aggressive project schedules and rapidly shifting requirements. But like all things in the software industry, they are constantly changing.
So that's why dependency management is so important. As our applications become more and more reliant upon open source code, we need to have solid control over changes in that code. We need to be able to clearly identify & replicate our dependencies, and to incrementally upgrade them in a safe manner. Fortunately, tools like Pinto (Perl) and Bundler (Ruby) can really help us here. We also have services like Stratopan and GemFury. These tools and services aren't the only way to manage dependencies, but they are built upon familiar toolchains which makes them easy for developers to learn. Yet, they aren't nearly as widespread as they should be.
It takes a bit of time to learn these tools and integrate them into your development process, but they pay huge dividends in the long run. If you're not firmly in control of your open source libraries, then you owe it to yourself (and your users) to find a solution that works for you. Please, don't let me break your code.

This is part 2 of Season 5 of What The Friday! Paul from the Egoscue Clinic in Santa Monica takes pictures of my posture from all four angels and then goes over the assessment with me.
It is a very humbling experience. It is amazing how one thing can effect something else.
The good news is that Paul says my postural imbalance is not just treatable but curable... even my scoliosis!!
The bad news is that it takes Time and Action!!
hmmm... I think Egoscue fits right in with the WTF! mentality of .. DOING IT NOW!
What The Friday!
Dave :)
oh yeah, if you are interested in getting your own postural assessment from Paul and the gang (they can do virtual assessments too from anywhere in the world!) - check out their website and contact them here:

SYDNEY, Australia - The door is left slightly ajar.
When the Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers open the major league season Saturday at the hallowed Sydney Cricket Grounds, the game marks the first time the teams meet in a championship contest since last September.
That's when the Dodgers clinched the National League West Division and celebrated by jumping in the Chase Field pool. That exacerbated an already sour feeling felt by the Diamondbacks and the professional humiliation of watching an opponent clinch a title on your home turf.
Now, the teams renew their rivalry and sentiments differ.
"That's all behind us," said D-backs general manager Kevin Towers standing along the first base line and watching his team work out Wednesday afternoon. "What happened was last year and this is a new year. We have our work cut out for us and know this will be a competitive series."
Perhaps, but players tend to have long memories and two factors may influence the nature of the series.
While the recent focus reflects the Dodgers' behavior after the clinched the NL West title in Phoenix, a brawl, earlier in the season, lit the fuse.
Former D-back Ian Kennedy represented the catalyst for a bench-clearing altercation last June when he apparently threw at several hitters, including Yasiel Puig. The "bad blood" appeared to spill over to Chase Field and the method in which the Dodgers used to celebrate clinching the NL West title.
If the Diamondbacks are ready to move forward and forget last year completely, the events could linger for the Dodgers.
"I don't know if anything will happen but maybe there could," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "Look, what happened last year was last year. It's over. Time to move on and it's a new season."
Events like the brawl of last summer or the Dodgers' victory around the Chase Field pool, according to D-backs manager Kirk Gibson, are an aberration.
"These things are not normal," he said after the D-backs workout on Wednesday. "They don't happen very often. They just don't happen."
Yet, the game plan will be set in Gibson rock and granite.
"We'll be aggressive," he added. "Our focus is to win the game and take these guys down. Yet whatever happens, we'll be ready."
Gibson cited the 2011 season in which the Diamondbacks de-throned the San Francisco Giants as NL West kingpins. He described his team as ready and prepared.
"The character of the team is defined as the season progresses," he said. "Along the way, our resolve will be tested."
In speaking to the media prior to the Dodgers' workout Wednesday, L. A. skipper Don Mattingly was asked his impression of Paul Goldschmidt, the D-backs first baseman.
Tied for home runs and led the NL in RBIs last season, Goldschmidt is no longer a blur on anyone's radar screen.
"He's a beast," Mattingly said. "He very tough to pitch because he's always making adjustments. He's killed us in the past and he's especially tough inside. He is just a tough out, period.
General manager Kevin Towers told reporters during the D-backs' workout Wednesday that outfielder Cody Ross and left-handed reliever Matt Reynolds will likely be placed on the Disabled List within the next few days.
Ross sustain a major hip injury last August in a game against the Mets at Chase Field while Reynolds underwent Tommy John surgery last September and likely will miss the entire 2014 season.
Elsewhere ... manager Kirk Gibson seems confident right-hander Bronson Arroyo, who did not make the trip to Sydney, will be able to take his turn in the rotation during the first week of the season.
Currently, Arroyo is trying to recover from a bulging disk in his back and his rehab is reported to be slow.
Gibson also announced lefty Wade Miley will open the season Saturday night here.
Miley replaces Patrick Corbin, who is sidelined with damage to his left elbow. Corbin was slated to start against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw but now, Corbin's season appears in jeopardy.
In 2013, Miley, a 27 year-old out of Hammond, La., went 10-10 with a 3.55 ERA. In 73 career major league games, Miley is 30-23 and a 3.54 ERA.

It has hit us all at one time or another. It's the bane of many auditioning actors. How an actor handles stage fright can be the difference between a great performance or a mediocre one.
How to deal with this stumbling block? Look no further than the classic self-help book, "Psycho-Cybernetics". Published in 1960 by plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz, M.D., "Psycho-Cybernetics", in the chapter entitled "How to Turn a Crisis into an Opportunity", lists three key ways to turn a pressure-packed situation into performance gold:
1.) Learn certain skills under conditions where we will not be overmotivated; we need to practice without pressure.
2.) We need to learn to react to a crisis with an aggressive, rather than a defensive attitude; to respond to the challenge in the situation, rather than to the menace; to keep our positive goal in mind.
3.) We need to learn to evaluate crisis situations in their true perspective; to try to not make mountains out of molehills
Maltz told the story of an actor who pulled victory from the snarling bite of defeat by pushing worry aside and forging ahead:
Walter Pidgeon, the actor, has told how his first public performance was a complete flop. He was literally 'scared to death.' However, between acts, he reasoned with himself that he had already failed, therefore he had nothing to lose; that if he gave up acting altogether he would be a complete failure as an actor, and therefore he really had nothing to worry about by going back on. He went out in the second act relaxed and confident, and made a big hit.
Being "relaxed and confident" is key, and easier said than done! Remember to do something for your career every day and break a leg!

The Obama administration has promised to review changes the Bush administration made to the Clean Water Act—changes that allowed coal companies to dump mine debris into streams. Valley fill permits are no longer being rubber-stamped by the Army Corps of Engineers and EPA (at this writing, 79 permits are under review, 23 of them in West Virginia). Meanwhile, Maria Gunnoe patrols the rugged mountains and valleys in her Jeep, conspicuous among the pickup trucks and Fords more typical along the rutted roads. She keeps an eye out for fallen trees and debris, or for black water in streams. "That sludge pond has breached!" she cries, pulling over across from in-ground water containments on coal company land. She points to puddles of brackish water in the weeds, grabs her Nikon and marches to the middle of the road, clicking away. "If I get run over, just grab the camera," she advises, only half-joking.
Her first stop today was Lindytown, which backs up to a mountaintop removal project about 10 miles from Gunnoe's home. Flooding, pollution and the stress of living so close to the blasting and heavy machinery have forced most of the roughly 40 residents to flee, and now many houses are abandoned and the church is boarded up. Coal company lawyers routinely hand out five-figure checks for "relocation assistance" to homeowners in the path of mountaintop removal; environmental groups regard it as hush money, since such settlements bar involvement in any future lawsuits. "Many residents of Lindytown were interested in selling their property to Massey, and they contacted Massey," says the company's PR representative, Jeff Gillenwater. "It is important to note that none of these properties had to be bought [to execute the mining plan]."
Gunnoe slows down at the edge of Lindytown and toots her horn outside a double-wide mobile home. Lora Webb pokes her head out the screen door and waves. She and her husband (who is not home today) are among the last holdouts here. Webb was eager to escape the detonations that shook her trailer and left wads of dust everywhere. But she says her husband, an underground miner who had grown up here, didn't want to leave. Families go back for generations in Appalachia, and the land is often held "in heirship," meaning it is divided and then later subdivided multiple times among remaining relatives—dozens of them, sometimes. A distant cousin in Arizona who has never lived in West Virginia could have a say about what happens to property that a native has lived on for most of her life. When the Webbs refused the coal company's initial overtures, Lora recalls, the firm traced enough heirs to buy their shares and force the Webbs out. After three years of blasting, the couple finally accepted an $80,000 settlement check and were given 60 days to vacate. Their only other recourse would have been a legal fight—an option beyond the means of most people living in the impoverished region.
As far as Webb is concerned, the mining behind Lindytown ravaged more than the mountain. When her in-laws started selling their shares of the property, she recounts, one of them got $15,000. Now, she says, there are family members her husband doesn't talk to anymore. (More was unable to reach Webb's husband for comment.) She adds that she and her spouse are at an impasse, as well. "He wants to stay in the hollow," she says. "I'm 41 now. I want some fresh air. Clean water. That's all I'm asking for."
Like Lora Webb, Gunnoe's husband, Richard, was a transplant to Boone County, and he saw little point in staying. Living downslope from a massive mining operation was stressful enough without his wife's activism making the family a target of resentment. Gunnoe says that her husband, tired of feeling as if he was living under siege, left her for several months last year; they have since reconciled, but Richard Pitzer separates himself from his wife's crusade. He declined to be interviewed.
"He understands now that I'm doing this for our kids and their futures," Gunnoe says. Still, she admits, "I think I drive him crazy . . . and I believe there's a chance he'll need another break from me before we die."

Anyone who has wondered about how men's fashion has become increasingly casual would have been in good company this past Tuesday night at Kenneth Cole Productions at 603 West 50th Street in New York City. That evening, Cole hosted a panel discussion on the Casualization of Men's Suitable Attire in his studio that featured current trends in men's fashion as well as the direction in which it is headed.
Sponsored by GQ magazine and PARLUX LTD., and with support from Fashion Group International (FGI), the panel featured Vice President & Publisher of GQ Magazine and moderator Chris Mitchell, Will Welch; GQ's Senior Editor of Style, designer Todd Snyder, Eric Jennings; Saks Fifth Avenue Vice President & Fashion Director of Menswear, and Kenneth Cole; Chairman and Chief Creative Director of Kenneth Cole Productions.
Cole opened the panel discussion first by expressing his appreciation to FGI President Margaret Hayes as well as others for supporting the fashion industry as well as events like this.
This is an exciting time not only for the menswear industry, but also for the industry as a whole, said Cole. Thanks to social media accelerating the rate of change in the industry, he feels that his role as a designer has changed in that today, everyone is becoming their own brand. As such, he hopes that as a designer, he will encourage people to define themselves by their own brand instead of defining themselves by his.
Cole rightly suggests that people, by nature, insist on flexibility and adaptability in all facets of their lifestyles, and their wardrobe is no exception. Consumers want form as well as function. Cole asserts that only 9 percent of Americans wear formal business attire to work and that, with the casualization of modern suiting, suggests that half of businesses or more have likely incorporated that style into the workplace.
Chris Mitchell then opened the panel discussion by asking the panel members for their opinion regarding the fact men today appear to be mixing things that never would have made sense in the past.
Will Welch's opinion was that men's style seems so simple, and the basic ingredients appear to be pretty straightforward. Yet, once you get into it, there are an infinite number of combinations. Men today have much less of a uniform today, and they don't have to wear the same thing everyday.
Echoing Welch's point, Eric Jennings suggested that it's about men having more variety to create their own style. There are people that are still required to wear suits everyday, and there are those that wear jeans, and so one needs to address many lifestyles. The main point is not that casualness is growing. Rather, it's that the menswear pie is getting larger, and it has continued to grow over the last five years. Both tailored and casual attire are a part of this. What he is looking for is tailored clothing that has a youthful component to it.
Mitchell then asked Cole how he planned his collections, given Cole's earlier assertion that the suit business has grown. Were his designs about giving guys more reasons to wear a suit?
Cole responded that in the design of men's attire, there has to be consideration given to all the electronic devices that men carry with them. Therefore, while today's suiting is more tailored, there still must be function that accompanies form.
Snyder later opined that guys are now realizing that those who are better dressed tend be better set up for success not only in the work setting, but also in dating. Snyder suggests that while women like men that have a rugged sensibility, they also love men that look good and present themselves well.
Another significant point made was the critical role timing played in pacing trends and introducing new products. As Jennings explained, introducing a trend too early is as bad as introducing a trend too late; either way, you will alienate your customer.
The common thread that ran throughout the panel discussion was not that casual was taking over the sartorial landscape. As the discussion indicated, in days past the choices were largely limited to either a suit or polo shirts and khakis, with not much in between. Today, men have many more choices today than they used to, with an entire spectrum of combinations from which they can choose.
At one point someone asked, almost sardonically, about the sustainability of Cole's products. While an interesting question, it could certainly have been obviated had he simply taken a cursory look at the swag bag sitting on his chair, which clearly showed a number 5 resin code on his polypropylene bag indicating that the it was "Made from a recyclable non-woven polypropylene."; a clear indication that it was a consideration in the Kenneth Cole brand.
The panel discussion was not only interesting, it proved to be an affirmation of just how fast men's fashion trends were changing and the myriad possibilities being created for today's men, due in no small part to the various social media outlets. Exactly what changes can be expected and how much it continues to change, only time will tell.

The focus of my research in Dr. Hoerter's lab is to incorporate the use of neocuporine and ultra violet light to determine the effects of UVA upon melanocyte stem cells, melanoblasts, and developing melanocytes. Neocuporine is a chemical that works to ablate adult melanin containing melanocytes within the zebrafish skin, leaving behind the precursor population to be radiated with UVA. Any damaging effects can be determined through pattern changes within the regenerating melanocyte population. After completing my NIH research fellowship I will be attending the graduate program at San Diego State University in pursue of a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology.

As a biology/pre-medicine student, I am very interested in the role stem cells play during melanoma development. My research focuses on the effect UVB light has on adult melanocytes that have previously been damaged by UVA light. I use the chemical neocuproine to ablate the adult melanocytes after UVA treatment. This forces the cells to regenerate from precursors before being irradiated with UVB. Effects of treatment can be observed as changes in the natural striping pattern of the zebrafish. I also plan to run additional trials of Alex's experiment when her fellowship ends.

Patrick Bradley, B.S. Lab Manager (email@example.com)
I am very interested in the role that stem cells and their attributes play in the maintenance and repair of tissues and organs and how disruption of these pathways can have a role in cancer formation. Major research focused on clinical use of adult stem cells has allowed for the field to grow rapidly and at the same time there are many basic questions surrounding stem cell function left to be answered.
What defines 'stemness'?
How is the balance between cancer and regeneration maintained?
What are the ways that our environment signals, damages, and interacts with our stem cells?
I enjoy working with a very bright group of lab members in order to see how many viewpoints can contribute to understanding the paradigms and ideas involved. While working with zebrafish as a model for melanoma development via stem cell damage, we are also able to explore the basic ideas at the core of stem cell function. I feel that many of these basic questions are more available and at the same time more exciting to undergraduate researchers.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Getting BiggerIn full: I have run Henley since 2002 and the race has grown every year. It is a fantastic course and well worth the effort but with the 10K & Half sharing facilities then I personally think Henley needs an update. Still no secure Bag store and the toilet facilities are getting stretched in the last 45 mins. As I know the area I dont use the race car park and therefore have no issue, did try the car park one year but it is a long walk and makes it a slow get away at the end. Due to the increased entries there are now a few bottle necks and although I love the race it was better with less entrants. If this keeps growing then other areas will need to be improved but overall, it is well organised with friendly marshalling and well worth the effort.Date of review: October 12, 2009
In short: Lots of ChallengesIn full: As a seasoned runner this was only my second run at Wycombe but I do love how well organised and how good all the facilities are. This race is easy to get to, easy to park, toilets are plentiful and there are good changing and shower facilities. This is topped off with the best goody bag and there as well as a T shirt and an impressive looking medal! Wycombe: what is your secret because the entry cost is one of the lowest!!The race itself is very challenging so dont expect a PB, but always worth trying to come back and improve on this course. Big hill at the start as well as ups and downs throughout, top this with traffic and pavement running makes it all the more tiring.For me thats what this race is about and I cant recommend it enough.Well done to all the marshalls and organisers.Date of review: July 19, 2009
In short: Superb!In full: Love this race! Well organised, Good Marshalling, plenty of water stops and the sun always shines!! Event Best for me to do but doubt I will ever do a PB here as it is a challenging route but that is the appeal! Well done to all those associated with Wargrace 10K as you do a superb job!!Date of review: June 14, 2009
In short: PrematureIn full: OK, So the weather has been bad this week and yes we all had to anticipate that the race might be cancelled however, The forecast for the weekend was always suggesting improvement and considering the slush on Friday, it looked unlikely that we would have another blanket of snow. I think the organisers got there decision badly wrong considering todays weather was almost perfect for this race (I personally did a 10 mile run with friends with ease). We also should note that Wokingham has had some real bad weather in the past that we have run through so why cancel so early? Why not, advise people to check back as it is likely to be cancelled but leave the decision until as late as possible? Making a decision on a Friday morning 48 hours ahead of the race in England in Winter is a huge dissappointment. I hope Wokingham can redeem themselves and re-schedule this race.Date of review: February 8, 2009
In short: Worth the challenge!In full: Marlow is one of the toughest half marathons due to the hills but the challenge adds to its appeal. Well organised, great marshalls, facilities sufficient and overall a great race. This was my third time and will be back for more.Date of review: November 2, 2008
In short: Its all about the hill!In full: This was my 6th Henley Half and the hill never gets any easier! The race had perfect wheather this year and the course is still fantastic. To offer some constructive comments though, I would look at a few extra toilets or at least not make some off limits to runners. Starting on the feild has always been the worse part especcially with all the cow pats on there. Marshalling was good but did Knock down a load of cups when taking a cup whilst running, the end was chaotic which is crazy when you have all that space, medal was rubbish and no mars bar or goodies of any kind?Date of review: October 13, 2008
In short: Well Done BracknellIn full: This was my third Bracknell and depressingly my first race in over 70 starts that I failed to finish due to a muscle tear at Mile 10.Full credit to Bracknell though, the facilities were excellent this year, bag drop was easy, car park easy, started on time and toilets were plentiful. Enthusiastic and encouraging marshalls all the way round and my own kids loved handing out the water near mile 5.Unfortunately, I had to drop out at 9.5 even though I was on for a PB for this course but wanted to thank the marshalls, who made sure I was looked after and dropped back at South Hill park.Well done Bracknell you genuinely deserve credit this year, keep the standards high!Date of review: April 27, 2008
In short: DullIn full: The first 4 miles were dull and tedious due to passing the same ground in an industrial area. Well organised and equipped race but the route could be more interesting than this, long time to get out of the car park at the end. Dont feel inspired to come back but well done to all the organisers you were all excellent.Date of review: March 21, 2008
In short: Getting Bigger and Bigger!In full: This was my 6th Consecutive Reading and the race is growing in capacity every year, Reading is a superb half marathon, good water stations and marshalling etc, but the same complaints this year as last year! was nothing learned from the complaints?Baggage tents are a joke, so many smaller events with large fields get this right so why does Reading make such a mess of it?Queing to put your bag in and jammed like sardines trying to get your bag back.Apart from this, everything was slick and although the course is now crowded, Reading still offers a fast half with a big finish.I will be back, I will just leave my bagin the car!Date of review: March 2, 2008
In short: Tough but Fantastic!In full: Once again Pewsey has put on a first class event, this was my first Terminator although I have frequented there 5 mile and half Marathon Races.Although its tough (and that was with good weather this year), the race runs through some glorius countryside and offers you so much more.I ran with some friends and each of us felt exhilerated at the end and will almost definately be back.The marshalls were brilliant and proffessional and the race had a comfortable atmosphere about it from start to finish.As the event appears to be growing, I imagine it wont be long before extra loo's etc are a must given the que's (NB: There were more toilets than people realised by the bag store).Baggage facilities out shone many of the larger races by offering a really rapid service to runners, showers and cafeteria were welcome and essential touches.Well done to Pewsey and all those associated with organising this event.Date of review: February 26, 2008

text: First, RealVNC is really great, thank you! Very much worth supporting. I have a situation where I would like to set up one display of a WinXP box as a fixed status display and use the other one to accomplish various tasks. Users then access the machine either as "developers" and see both displays and can use the keyboard and mouse of as "watchers" and see just the status display without being able to use keyboard and mouse. I have tried starting two instances of VNC server on different ports, setting one of them to disable keyboard and mouse. This seems to work fine with "developer" running as a service and "watcher" running as an application with different settings from the service, different password, force shared, no keyboard, and no mouse. I suspect I can't convert this to a second service because the registry keys would collide. Not a big deal though. Now in order for "watchers" to see only the status display, it would be very convenient if VNC4 server could be able restrict itself to one or the other display, thus "accessing one monitor in a multi monitor setup". Would this be hard to do? Yes, this is a hack to deal with the marketing limitation of WinXP not permitting multiple virtual displays at the same time. A *nix box would simply run Xvnc on a precisely sized display desktop and remote the thing. Alas, there is one application that I must use that only runs on Windoze and I don't want to set up some kind of server version of Windoze. By the way, I would vote to make v4b4 the released version. It works great. Thanks - Jim

Who says singer-songwriters can't be wrong?
Not John Mayer. Yesterday he apologized for comments made in a recent Playboy interview on Twitter and at the Nashville stop on his Battle Studies tour.
He writes "Re: using the 'N word' in an interview: I am sorry that I used the word. And it's such a shame that I did because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could because I realize that there's no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged."
An hour later Mayer adds, "And while I'm using today for looking at myself under harsh light, I think it's time to stop trying to be so raw in interviews. It started as an attempt to not let the waves of criticism get to me, but it's gotten out of hand and I've created somewhat of a monster. I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don't have the stomach for it. Again, because I don't want anyone to think I'm equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again.
Then he replies to tweets. One by Cameron Hines read "@johncmayer were all human. Everyone makes mistakes."Mayer responds "True. But some mistakes are hard to pinpoint because they happen slowly and over long periods of time."
Another tweet says "Just waiting for @johncmayer to follow up his apology with an announcement that he's going to rehab. I mean, it kinda worked for Tiger, no?" "They don't make rehab centers for being an a-hole," the Recording/Sandwich Artist replies.
Mayer caps it off by tweeting "I just wanted to play the guitar for people. Everything else just sort of popped up and I improvised, and kept doubling down on it."
That evening, he broke into an emotional impromptu apology in the middle of a song at his show in Nashville. Concert goer videos show fans cheering the singer-songwriter on as he and the back up singers choked up tears.

Cure Coughing Disorders
Dogs can't tell you when they're sick, but they may wheeze, cough and gag.
Learn to differentiate between these three sounds to find out what your puppy needs.
What causes my dog to wheeze?
Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound created by airflow through constricted breathing tubes. If your dog has an attack of wheezing that lasts more than 30 minutes, treat it as an emergency and seek veterinary attention as soon as possible. If your dog doesn't wheeze on a regular basis and has an attack that lasts less than 30 minutes, try to determine what brought on the attack.
Causes that could bring on wheezing include:
Cold or sinus infection
Tissue inflammation brought on by pollen grain allergies or paint fumes
Inhaled foreign bodies such as rug fibers or grass that are caught in the nose
Infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia
Tracheal damage
How can I soothe my dog's wheezing?
If you determine the wheezing isn't an emergency, soothe your dog during the attack.
Wheezing due to tissue inflammation: Turn on a humidifier or place your dog in a steamy bathroom. Steam will help open air passageways and make breathing easier.
Wheezing due to allergies, colds and asthma: Determine the possible causes and remove them from your home. Your dog may be responding to dust, pollen, household cleaners or other irritants. Things such as cigarette smoke and incense are also common offenders.
Wheezing due to tracheal damage: A tight collar and leash can injure or even fracture your dog's trachea. Keep the leash off and put on a humidifier before visiting the vet.
What causes my dog to cough?
Coughing is easy to recognize in your dog, but it doesn't always sound the same. It can sound:
Dry and hacking
Moist and bubbly
Gagging and wheezy
Your dog's coughing often self-perpetuates as it dries the throat and leads to further irritation. If heavy, laborious breathing and lethargy accompany your dog's coughing, contact your vet as soon as possible.
Your dog's cough could result from:
Swallowed object
Inhaled irritant
Fluid or mucus in the airway
Scratchy throat
Kennel cough
Lung infection
Heart disease
Collapsed trachea
How can I treat his cough?
The cough may disappear as soon as your dog gets the irritant out of his system. If you want to loosen up your dog's phlegm and open up his passageways, take him into the bathroom and run a hot shower. The shower's steam may help your dog breathe better.
If your dog's coughing is persistent, make an appointment with your vet. Your dog may need a cough suppressant or antibiotic treatment to get rid of an infection. Don't give him a human cough suppressant without the permission of your veterinarian.
What should I do if my dog is gagging?
Some occasional gagging is normal in dogs. When a dog gags a great deal, he could have a blocked airway or illness. In these cases, a trip to the veterinarian is in order.
If you notice your dog gagging, check the following:
Collar: Be sure your dog's collar is fitted correctly. A collar that's too tight or has caught on something will frequently make a dog gag.
Choking: Small objects, such as bones and sticks, often get lodged across the upper palate between the teeth or caught on the pharynx, causing irritation and gagging.
Blocked airway: If you think an object is responsible for the gagging but can't see anything, get your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible; his airway may be blocked. If necessary, perform the Heimlich maneuver on your dog to try to dislodge the foreign object.
To perform the Heimlich maneuver, follow these simple steps:
Wrap your arms underneath your dog's belly.
Clasp your hands together in a double fist.
Place your fist just below your dog's ribs.
Press your dog's ribs with a quick upward thrust.
Repeat until the object is dislodged.
Make things easier for both you and your dog. Listen to what he's trying to tell you and know how to act if necessary.
This article is written as a reference, I urgently recommend you to refer to your vet for any of the above problems

Natural Gas Rally Has a Tight Schedule to Keep
Rod David
On-again, off-again gains should take a higher profile now, if the rally is valid.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Having rested on its laurels Friday, the natural gas rally should not be further delayed past Monday if it is valid.
Dollar Basket
Jun Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Very flat narrow ranging Friday was biased downward, still contained within Wednesday's range. Compressing selling pressure without breaking lower makes a snap up to fresh highs likely.
Jun Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Friday's narrow ranging held 1.2955 resistance. The decline must resume without much further delay to avoid a bigger bounce targeting 1.3100.
Apr Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Ranging narrowly above and around 1383.00 has validated the level's relevance, but neutralized its predictive value. The next durable trend should begin by reacting to a false break, probably from testing 1398.50.
May Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Friday's session wasn't required to resume trending either way, but its timing does suggest the next trending attempt will be false.
30-Year Treasury
Jun Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
Ranging at recent lows into the weekend without yet rejecting the recent drop — and without probing fresh lows intraday — makes any immediate bounce more capable of extending higher, especially if 144-24 were recovered early.
Crude Oil
Apr Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Recovering Friday's gap down to gravitate back around 94.00 doesn't make a rally any likelier to develop. Dipping back under 93.00 would be very vulnerable to extending down intraday.
Natural Gas
Apr Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Having extended the rally Thursday, Friday's session was not obligated to rally any further, and it did not. But now having taken advantage of the opportunity to rest, the rally does need to resume Monday if it is valid.

Let's Talk Chestnuts — Simple Scratch Cookingby Jennifer Perillo in In Season, October 14th, 2013
My knowledge of chestnuts was rather limited until my husband and I cooked our first Thanksgiving dinner back in 1995. While many people have fond memories of chestnut stuffing on Thanksgiving, my family's stuffing of choice came out of a box. That changed once Michael and I started celebrating the holiday together.
Every year he'd set about prepping his "kitchen sink stuffing" filled with dried bread cubes, apples, crumbled sausage, celery, carrots and, yes, chopped chestnuts. As time went by, we tweaked the recipe. I taught him how to finely chop the vegetables and properly saute them, so they would almost melt into the stuffing. I began making homemade stock to swap in for the canned kind he used. One year I even managed to convince him to skip the sausage and make a vegetarian version for me. The one ingredient that always stayed in the mix, though, was chestnuts.

Safer deliveries for South Sudan's new mothers
Sudan's decades-long civil war has left South Sudan, which became an independent state last year, without a functioning health system or trained personnel. As a result, the new nation has one of the world's highest rates of maternal mortality: More than 2,000 mothers die for every 100,000 live births.
In response, the International Rescue Committee is supporting 30 health facilities nationwide and has trained over 2,500 community health workers and other healthcare staff. We're also building maternal health clinics in extremely remote communities, staffing them with trained South Sudanese midwives who can deliver good quality basic obstetric care.
In South Sudan, the practice of delivering a baby at home is traditional — but risky. "A woman delivering at home in the U.S. with a midwife in attendance who has a complication can get an ambulance to the hospital at any time of the day or night," says IRC country director Sudan Purdin. "A woman delivering at home in a village in South Sudan has no access to such lifesaving care."
Traditional birth attendants, usually the only source of maternal health care services in rural areas, are playing an important role in convincing pregnant women to leave their homes to deliver their babies at an IRC clinic. Thanks to their efforts, an increasing number of the new nation's expectant mothers are choosing to give birth in health facilities where they'll have a much better chance of a safe delivery and a healthy start for their babies.

84% of cotton is harvested, compared to 85% a year ago and 77% on average.
95% of sorghum is harvested, compared to 91% last year and 87% on average.
The last national crop progress report of 2012 is due out Monday, November 26.

Many parents are outraged that their children are working in what they call an "unsafe" learning environment. These students are coming down with every kind of illness from chronic headaches to asthma.
Trevin Taylor is enjoying playing ball while the rest of his fourth grade classmates are at school. No, he's not playing hooky. He's got a doctor's note excusing him for his symptoms his parents say he caught from sitting in a mold-infested classroom at Hiland Park Elementary.
Taylor isn't the only one. Many parents are noticing symptoms, if not illnesses, related to breathing in the polluted air.
Principal David Cole says this situation is just now coming to his attention. School board members agree something has to be done.
There's talk of removing the portable completely. But no timeline has been set, and no promises have been made.
Principal Cole says they're looking into moving the students into a different facility while the portable undergoes renovations.
We understand there's also mold growing in the cafeterias. Maintenance workers are planning to pull out the tiles and replace them all.

Have a Seat; We Just Want to Ask You a Few Questions...
By MT:15 on Jan 04, 2010
The new buzz term is "Governance, Risk, and Compliance." GRC. I think the word "management" is implied. Which of the following topics would you say falls under the GRC umbrella?
• Assuring that all members of a research team have documented, up to date certifications required for a grants project.
• Investigating an insider's unauthorized P-card purchases, and implementing preventative controls for the future.
• Preparing a report to the state legislative committee for higher education, that shows trends of enrollment for 1st generation college attendees.
• Handling statements and evidence for a sensitive whistle blower's case.
• Implementing electronic workflow for approval of new vendor setup and payment thresholds, along with a review of the roles and permission assignments.
• Updating the Continuity of Operations Plan to ensure that all mission-critical information system services can be re-established in an offsite location within 2 days.
• Checking on departmental managers' progress to clear discrepancies from last spring's internal audit.
• Investigating a possible privacy breach of student data, while considering system security improvements that may prevent recurrence.
• Addressing a Board of Regents hearing about repeated incidents of senior faculty and executive administrative staff hiring that were far above established salary ranges, and included unusual perks, as reported in the media. Someone apparently circumvented approval policy.
The answer, of course, is "All of the Above." GRC casts a long shadow. The trend in public sector and higher education seems to be a piling on. One university finance manager said to me recently, "If I hear the word 'transparency' one more time, I am going to lose my cookies." Predictions are that the forthcoming increase in U.S. federal government investment toward education improvement will inevitably bring with it more reporting, audits, and potential for violations or misdeeds. Agency-level grant audits from the Departments of Labor, Education, HHS, Energy and Defense seem certain to increase, on top of traditional NIH and NSF audit activity.
For a preview on the trend for more reporting and compliance tracking, check out ARRA stimulus guidelines, especially Section 1512 Reporting:
Do you have governance over an academic medical center? Then GRC squared.
Oracle Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Oracle introduced its comprehensive GRC product suite in late 2008. A major new release of Oracle Enterprise GRC, set on the Oracle Fusion Middleware platform, and featuring new Risk Management processes shipped in December 2009. How does the Oracle GRC product set align to Oracle's PeopleSoft ERP/ SIS applications, and other Oracle offerings?
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software has always inherently addressed needs for "Compliance" and "Control." Implementations of ERP, such as PeopleSoft Financials, include movement to paperless, automated workflows where approvals are set up to align with organizational policy and structure. Similarly, ERP setup includes thorough definition of individual roles for privilege to access information. ERP systems also include audit trails for transactions, data entry, and setup control.
A question for readers, no need to take offense: When was the last time your organization did a thorough review of your ERP setup and role definitions?
Another question: If you have updated your administrative or grants-related policies, are they still properly represented in the ERP setup?
GRC software solutions are designed to work with, and surround, ERP/SIS transaction systems. Preventative and detective controls provided by the GRC suite are able to illuminate potential violations of Segregation of Duties (SOD) and other policies. In addition to providing fraud alert, GRC Controls can help with your continuous improvement of policy implementation around data security, approval management, spend thresholds, and effective workflow. Building on this Controls level, Oracle GRC includes risk management, process management, and GRC intelligence components.
The State of Enterprise Risk Management at Colleges and Universities Today
The Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges has published a study on this topic at:
College and university senior executives view GRC as an important area for improvement. This is particularly true of the "Risk" element. A recently published survey drew the following summary conclusions.
"In private industry, boards and chief executives routinely consider risk in strategic planning, but a new survey by the Association of Governing Boards and United Educators reveals that higher education is lagging behind in this important fiduciary responsibility. (A detailed summary of the survey results is available at www.agb.org/research and at www.ue.org.) Key survey findings include:
• Sixty percent of respondents said their institutions do not use comprehensive, strategic risk assessment to identify major risks to mission success.
• Fewer than half of the respondents said they "mostly agree" with the statement, "Board members and senior administrators actively engage in discussions regarding institutional risks."
• Five percent of respondents said their institutions have exemplary practices for management of major risks to mission success.
Fragmented and After-the-Fact > Ongoing, Proactive GRC Process
Oracle GRC solutions have been designed to support compliance and control tasks as part of an established, ongoing process. This is in contrast to the typical higher education institution's reactionary, incident-driven approach to GRC today. Most CFOs and compliance officers admit that they are held hostage to the 1,000 spreadsheets used to track various policy initiatives, oversight mandates, and in-process corrective response to audit findings. Oracle GRC Manager features a special repository and workflow solution that moves your organization into a proactive posture. Objects like policy, protocol, evidence, audit remediation steps, and periodic assessment are securely stored and indexed in GRC Manager. Risk assessment is supported as a repeatable process with metrics. There is also a GRC Intelligence product that can be used to provide managerial dashboards, keeping all levels of management involved in steady, continuous improvement.
Oracle GRC solutions work with any ERP transaction system, as well as Hyperion Financial Management. The goal of the Oracle GRC solution set is to provide "integrated support for enterprise risk management that promotes risk awareness, conducts assessments, simplifies measurement, identifies effective controls and helps organizations remove unnecessary business risk."
Learn more about Oracle GRC and potential benefits for Higher Education institutions in person
Oracle will host a Higher Education "Compliance" seminar on January 26th, at Pace University in New York City. CFOs, VPs of Finance, and VPs in charge of compliance, audit, IT or risk will want to attend this 5-hour informative seminar "Solutions for Implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in Higher Education."

More good news for Obamacare came out today via the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The CBO released a report which shows that Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act, will costs $104 billion less than previously projected over the next ten years. If true, the CBO report shows that Obamacare will reduce the deficit by even more in the coming years. The news follows the Obama administration announcement last week that 7.5 million people are expected to enroll in a qualified health plan under the Affordable Care Act.
The CBO report is sure to draw some serious skepticism from critics who already doubted the Obama administration's announcements on enrollment numbers. The full CBO report can be read here.
As explained in the report, the main reason cost projections were revised downward for Obamacare is that the government is spending less than anticipated on the subsidies built into the law to help poorer individuals afford insurance. According to the CBO, "The plans being offered through the exchanges in 2014 appear to have, in general, lower payment rates for providers, narrower networks of providers, and tighter management of of their subscribers' use of the health care than employment-based plans do. Those features allow insurers that offer plans through the exchanges to charge lower premiums (although they also make plans somewhat less attractive to potential enrollees."
What does that mean in layman's terms?
Basically, the plans insurance companies offering plans are limiting the number of doctors that the plan purchasers can see for care, while tightly controlling the use of the plan benefits. Because they can control the amount that they pay out in benefits, the insurers are also charging lower premiums.
Obamacare critics may claim that the report shows that enrollees are not getting high quality insurance through the exchanges. Supporters may counter by claiming that the law is working as designed by reducing costs while simultaneously increasing the amount of people covered while simultaneously promoting better cost management.

Not exactly geocaching
While rummaging in the woods for snails and slugs earlier today, I came upon a well hidden geocache box. What are the chances of finding one of these when you are not actually looking for one?
I opened it hoping to plunder the contents, but there were only a log book and assorted junk, including a golf ball and a small plastic doll. I am not sure what the rules of this game are. Are you supposed leave something in the box? I didn't leave anything or take anything; the 2 snail shells I had found earlier were too good to part with.
I did enter the URL for this blog in the log book, though.

College Hockey:Shemansky scores two to help Maine edge Clarkson
ORONO, Me. — Playing their annual game at the Cumberland County Civic Center, the University of Maine men's hockey picked up a 4-3 victory over Clarkson University, halting their streak of five straight games without a win.
The Black Bears improve to 4-6-2 on the season, while the Golden Knights fall to 7-5-3 this year.
Maine forward Adam Shemanksy led the way for the Black Bears, scoring two for his first multi-goal game of the season.
The Black Bears had the lead going into each intermission, scoring two in the first two periods to hold off Clarkson.
Even with a late barrage of shots by Clarkson, the Black Bears outshot the Golden Knights, 37-33.
"It was one of those nights where both teams were creating a lot of chances," said Clarkson coach Casey Jones. "I thought we had a real good third period. Gave it everything we had to tie it up. We thought one was in. We had them back on their
The lack of official replay might have cost Clarkson a chance at tying things up late in the third during an offensive rush. The game took place at the home of the America Hockey League's Portland Pirates, and the AHL does not have official replay available.
"I don't know how a game of this magnitude doesn't have official replay," Jones said. "It's unfortunate."
The Black Bears got their best opportunity two and a half minutes into the first period after forward Joey Diamond found defender Will O'Neill at the point. O'Neill fired it toward Clarkson goalie Paul Karpowich, who made a great save on the initial shot and Diamond's follow up.
The Black Bears managed to break through while on the penalty kill. Less than a minute after center Klas Liedermark was called for tripping, Maine center Stu Higgins put Maine on top with his second goal of the season. After a nice pass from defender Nick Pryor in Maine's defensive zone, Higgins broke free with no defenders in front of him. Higgins took the puck to the right of the net before firing it in the left corner.
"We chipped it out and I had a lot of free space," Higgins said. "I was looking to pass at first, and I think that helped freeze the goalie for a second, and I went for a low shot and it happened to go in."
Maine freshman goalie Dan Sullivan kept the Black Bears' lead after saving a barrage of Golden Knight shots.
After Clarkson killed-off a Maine power play, each team went to four-on-four hockey after Maine forward Matt Mangene and Clarkson defender Kevin Tansey were booked for hitting after the whistle.
While the Black Bears controlled the early portion of the four-on-four, the Golden Knights managed to tie things up after breaking free. Center Louke Oakley made it 1-1 with seven minutes left in the first period off assists by forward Nick Tremblay and defender Sam Labrecque.
Diamond had a great chance to put Maine ahead 2-1, but couldn't finish on the fast break.
However, just 20 seconds later, Shemanksy put the Black Bears ahead after a nice centering pass from center Kyle Beattie. Mangene also picked up an assist, as the Black Bears took the 2-1 lead into the first intermission.
"Beattie got some good pressure and Matty [Mangene] found me in front and I just had to spin around," Shemanksy said.
The second period was riddled with penalties, as the whistle blew seven times for infractions, with three of those resulting in goals.
The Black Bears stretched their lead to 3-1 after an interference penalty by Clarkson defender Alex Boak.
An excellent cross-ice pass by forward Spencer Abbott found Shemanksy in the slot, where he put it past Karpowich for his second goal of the game.
"It was great puck movement," Shemansky said. "Abbs made a great pass, and I just wanted to get it on net, because I knew Joey and [Brian Flynn] were coming in for the rebound."
Three and a half minutes later, the Black Bears turned the puck over behind their net, resulting in an easy goal for forward Jake Morely off a centering pass from center Corey Tamblyn.
The Golden Knights tied things up midway through the period after Abbott was called for holding. Less than a minute into the power play, Clarkson's Allan McPherson found the net past Sullivan.
Even with a Clarkson penalty with two minutes remaining, it appeared things were going to be knotted up going into the third period.
However, after a shot from the point by the Black Bears, a scrum ensued in front of the net before Mangene was able to poke the puck through to give Maine the lead, 4-3, heading into the final period.
"I was able to pull off a quick move and get to the middle and get it through," Mangene said. "You've got to get a good shot off, but the main thing was to get the puck to the net and the guys at the net did a great job screening. It happened to
slip through."
Unlike the first two, the third period lacked scoring, as the goals stopped with the second period. The penalties kept coming, as Diamond and Boak were booked for hitting after the whistle, and each received a 10-minute misconduct call.
"We said between periods 'We don't care if it's 4-3 or 7-6; let's come out on top,'" Maine coach Tim Whitehead said.
The Black Bears fended off a strong offensive period by the Golden Knights, as Clarkson fired 14 shots toward Sullivan.
"Our third period tends to be our best," McPherson said. "We lost this game in the first period. We gave them too many grade-A chances, and they capitalized. They have a lot of skill."

Went to the gun shop to pick up my new AR-15. (:banana: Ya, thread coming.) While I was there, I also wanted to check out a few things. One was an IWB holster for my LCP.
He showed me a holster and let me try it on. He then handed me an LCP so I could test it out. I am standing directly across the counter from him. He takes the gun, releases the magazine, pulls back the slide and shows me the chamber is empty. He then immediately hands me the firearm.
At this point, do you feel compelled to check the gun again to verify it is not loaded or was that sufficient?

How to run a site with gzip compression and why it matters
Posted on 23rd April 2010 in Research | 1 Comment »
Since Google is now considering site speed for PageRank, it has made developers and SEO crowd thinking about it. Those familiar with Google Webmaster Tools probably know that site speed graph and related suggestions have been there for quite some time already.
First and probably the simplest thing is to turn on GNU zip compression, as also advised by Google Webmaster Tools (under Labs > Site performance). Doing so requires mod_deflate module on the Apache web server. Read the rest of this entry »
