RELATED: • Girard City Council calls for moratorium
• Forum on drilling attracts 130 to Mill Creek's Davis Center
• Counties in Pa. lack power to regulate drilling
By MARC KOVAC
Jamie Frederick held up the pair of heavy-duty ear protectors she used to try to block out the sounds of drilling near her Coitsville home.
They didn't work.
"Living through the drilling and fracking phase of the most recent well was a truly terrifying experience," Frederick said. "Twenty-four, seven, nonstop, we were subjected to such unbelievable levels of noise that you could only understand if you heard if for yourself. It would have been more peaceful to live on an airport runway."
(Editor's note:There is injection well drilling in Coitsville. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has not issued Utica or Marcellus shale drilling permits in Coitsville.)
The noise was only part of the problem, Frederick told other protesters at an anti-fracking rally Tuesday at the Statehouse. She recounted health problems, contaminated water, property damage and other issues that have affected her and her husband since they moved to the Youngstown area several years ago.
Frederick was one of the speakers during the two-hour protest. About 200 people participated, including more than 40 who traveled by bus from Youngstown, the site of a New Year's Eve earthquake that many believe was caused by an injection well used to dispose of fluid waste from oil and gas production.
Participants held signs, sang and chanted in unison, hoping to persuade lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich to stop all horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Ohio until after studies are completed to ensure the emerging oil and gas-production method is safe.
Fracking is the process in which water, chemicals and sand are blasted into rocks thousands of feet below the ground to unlock natural gas and oil.
"We came down to raise our voices to stop fracking and stop the destruction of our state, our land, our air, our water," said Susie Beiersdorfer, a part-time geology instructor at Youngstown State University. She added later, "This is the first line of defense, getting the legislatures to pass a moratorium at the least, and I'd love to just see a ban on all fracking. ... It's not for everyone's advantage; it's for private profit."
A public meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. today at the Covelli Centre in downtown Youngstown, giving residents, city and Mahoning County officials an opportunity to listen to and ask questions of representatives of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources about recent seismic activity in the area.
"The people of Ohio and the Mahoning Valley need to get some answers from their government officials," said state Rep. Robert Hagan of Youngstown, D-60th, who was at the protest. "We need to find out why Ohio has become the dumping ground of the United States and why it's so important that Pennsylvania and New York bring their toxic chemicals and dump them into the Mahoning Valley and cause earthquakes that we have to come out on the stairs of the Statehouse and complain about."
I only wish I could have been there in Columbus - Fracking and Brine Deep Well Injections are bad for our lives and property.
We have laws against criminal behavior and a war on terrorism. Anyone that causes earthquakes is a terrorist. Anyone that pollutes aquifers is a criminal. So why are the mother earth frackers and toxic waste injectors allowed to continue their corporate crime and corporate terrorism? Wasn't the earthquake enough to shake us out of our lethargy?
Ha yeah. Don't forget to remind them about King Kasich's SB5 exploits. Hagan was kicking and screaming on that issue before it became popular too. He's pretty much the defacto watchdog for the state. Thank god someone's paying attention.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE! We need to put a $1.00 per gallon environmental tax on motor fuels right now.
Ianacek, " If toxic materials or practies are indeed being dumped on the Valley , we will find out in due course ." - - - - - -" If ? "
- - - - - - - - -You have just discredited yourself. We know toxic chemicals are being dumped here there are no ifs. Surely you heard of the clean water act by now -an excuse to withhold the list of stuff in the waste water.There would be no need for this unless one were hiding something.
Then you say "we will find out in due course." - - -When will that be after the injecting is long done and the water is poisoned? When we are all sick? I can't believe what I am reading here.
"Sometimes , I think any actual mistreatment of the Valley by outsiders is encouraged by the way a lot of Valley dwellers talk about their own community . "- - -So the residents are to blame for for the shipping of chemical water and disposal in their area when they had no say about it? You want to blame us for this?
Why do you think they are drilling 9000 foot plus wells if the waste water weren't full of chemicals? Unbelievable .If you doubt its toxicity go drink a quart of fracking waste water.
A resident of Coitsville told me that it is not just injection wells being drilled in Coitsville but also numerous gas wells being drilled in the Clinton-Medina formation. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLARIFIED IN THE EDITOR'S NOTE. This information is easily obtained by ODNR. When they are done with the Clinton-Medina formation they will then drill deeper into the Utica. Drilling in Coitsville has been going on for years. I wonder how many others there are already sick? It's a real shame. Coitsville is (was) a beautiful area. I used to hunt there.
green -You sound familiar. I think my chances of survival better.
commoncitizen - " If you don't know WHY they drill 9000 ft down MAYBE you should look it up instead of posting BS ."- - -What BS?
My POINT is for the slow rollers if the waste water wasn't harmful than there would be no need to inject it at all? Right? So where is the BS in what I said? My point is for the slow rollers is that the water is injected into the ground because it isn't something pleasant or safe to leave on the surface .
commoncitizen, "I'm willing to bet that most of the people writting here do not know how or why fracking is used. Do they know the difference between oil/gas wells and injection wells?? Seems like most people "group" the two processes as the same thing." - - -You know it is possible that I missed something but I went back and reread the comments thus far but I'm not seeing what you are. I think most folks responding to this article do indeed understand the difference between fracking and injecting.
green -you posted that a long time ago or someone else did. "If its so dangerous, why do they spray it on the roads during the winter??"
- -Good question. Another good question is why if so much is going on our streets are permanent injection sites necessary?
If it is harmless why does PA ship it to Ohio. Why does Texas ship it to Ohio after all there is a lot of country between here and Texas?New York doesn't want it either. So many whys.Perhaps the biggest why is why does the clean water act have a loophole that allows the chemicals to not be listed with in the fracking waste water?
Ytown20 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/c...
The people have spoken and the drilling will be stopped. The vision of people like Susie Beiersdorfer have made it happen. Now is the time to pass legislation that puts the real cost of gasoline at the pump. The next governor of Ohio should be a man of vision like Bob Hagan. If only he could be persuaded to run.
This madness must cease. The U.S. must develop alternative fuel sources.

I just moved from xp-32bit to W7 64bit and re-installed sox which I use to resample and create spectrogams. The batch-file
cd %~dp0
mkdir converted
FOR %%A IN (%*) DO sox %%A -n spectrogram -o "converted/spectro/%%~nxA.png"
which worked fine with XP produce now an error saying that "sox" is not a valid command. The line
mkdir converted
works fine and the folder is created but "sox" gives an error. Actually with XP the folder was created in the sox folder and now it is created in the same folder as the data to be modified. I browsed this site and found something (I can't seem to find the precise post again) about adding a line under environmental variables, which I did. I added
sox C:\Program Files (x86)\sox-14-4-1\
in the system and user variables, with no success.
My user on the computer is listed as administrator Does anyone have a suggestion about modifying the batch files or configuring my system to get sox working?

Starting to Make Healthy Choices continued...
Planning works regardless of your dietary goal. Some people may prefer to work on reducing fat in their diet, adding fruits and vegetables, watching portions, eating at a slower pace, or curbing junk food.
Whatever your aim, avoid getting too hungry. At that point, people tend to overeat and ignore their best intentions. Also, figure out what triggers you to overeat or disregard your nutrition plan. Determine how to avoid problems or how to tackle them.
Many a New Year's resolution has been thwarted by injury. Some people are so gung-ho about getting fit that they are too aggressive at the beginning of their fitness program. As a result, they may become injured, feel a lot of soreness, or think of exercise as an unpleasant experience.
"Start low and then gradually progress," advises Cedric Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. "The thing most people forget is that they didn't become deconditioned and out of shape overnight. You shouldn't expect to become well-conditioned overnight."
To figure out whether you are exercising at the right level, try the talk test. The goal is to carry on a basic level of conversation without being out of breath. If you find that you are too chatty, however, chances are you are not working hard enough.
You can also assess your energy level after a workout, says Bryant. If you are still tired one hour after exercise, you probably overdid it. He says the average person should be reasonably recovered in that time.
Lee Igel, NSCA, a sports psychology consultant and faculty member at New York University, simply shakes his head at some of the less-than-bright things people do at the beginning of a fitness program.
"It's easy to walk into a gym, and see somebody with a body that you want, and say, 'I'm going to do everything that I can to get that,'" says Igel. He says some people assume they know how to achieve the perfect body, jump into a workout routine without educating themselves on proper form and use of the equipment, and then get hurt.

Peter Hartcher: Beijing Fears Sparking its Own French RevolutionRoundup: Media's Take
Peter Hartcher is the international editor.
China's political leaders put stability above all else. So it's a remarkable sign of the times that they could be passing around well-thumbed copies of a book about the sudden, bloody outbreak of the French Revolution two-and-a-quarter centuries ago.
Why would China's modern rulers, preoccupied with the leadership handover under way in Beijing this week, be interested in Alexis de Tocqueville's The Old Regime and the French Revolution?
They are ''fascinated by the French thinker's writings because of what his observations say about conditions in their times,'' says a visiting professor at China's Sun Yat-sen University, Nailene Chou Wiest.
Since the Communist Party seized power in 1949 in a violent revolution, its highest priority has been to guard against what it calls ''counter-revolution''.
Yet the popularity of Tocqueville's work suggests that this is precisely what it now fears. ''Is China ripe for another revolution?'' poses Wiest...

text: BUCCO BILL PROTECTING VICTIMS OF IDENTITY THEFT APPROVED IN COMMITTEE Legislation that protects a person who is a victim of identity theft from certain actions of debt collectors was unanimously approved by the Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee today. Deputy Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco, R-Morris and Somerset, is a sponsor of the bill that establishes a process for a victim of identity theft to notify a debt collector of their situation and requires the debt collector to stop collection activities until a determination is made by the collector as to whether the consumer is in fact responsible for the debt in question. "Identity theft is a pervasive, worldwide problem," said Bucco. "In the case where a person is unaware that their identification security has been breached, they should not be pursued by a debt collector until it is determined whether the victim is responsible for the charges in question. The anxiety a person experiences from having personal information stolen and fraudulently used can be traumatic. It is reasonable to require that a debt collector first resolve whether a charge is legitimate or was incurred through deception. "Unraveling the extent of an identity theft is harrowing enough," stated Bucco. "A debt collector should be mindful of these circumstances and thoroughly investigate the issue before taking action to collect on the amount in question." Under the bill, A-3005, a consumer must furnish a complete statement regarding the facts related to the theft of their identity to a debt collector. After the debt collector concludes the review, the consumer must be notified in writing of the determination and the basis for it. If the debt collector determines the consumer is responsible for the debt, they may resume their action to collect the amount in question. #### On the Net: http://www.NJAssemblyRepublicans.com NJ Assembly Republicans on Facebook NJ Assembly Republicans on Twitter

Campus Emergency Management Plan
The campus emergency management plan is available on Sharepoint for anyone with a UT Knoxville NetID and password.
Hazard Mitigation Plan
The campus was recently awarded a FEMA grant to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan.
A hazard mitigation plan is the result of a planning process which identifies policies and actions that can be implemented over the long term to reduce the risk and future losses resulting from hazard events. The Multi-Hazard Mitigation Disaster Resistant
University Plan will address a comprehensive list of both natural and man-made hazards likely to impact the University. The planning process is structured around four phases:
Phase 1: Organize Resources; Phase 2: Assess Risks; Phase 3: Develop a Mitigation Plan; and Phase 4: Implement the Plan and Monitor Progress. These four phases are further broken down into 10 steps, shown in the figure.
The campus community has an opportunity to provide valuable input to assist the planning team to accurately identify hazards and strategies for mitigating the impact of an incident. In the coming months, we will distribute surveys to collect public input. Please complete a survey to ensure your opinion is captured. Additionally, prior to being submitted, the draft plan will be circulated for public comment.
You can review the UTK Hazard Assessment 2015 results and the complete public flyer (click on image) for more information.

I have to automate several tasks on a windows 2003 server machine. I have been struggling with all sorts of quirks in windows batch files (like the lack of SLEEP command and the fact that WMIC is not PSEXEC friendly...). Is there a free resource out there that can act as a reference for windows scripting? The documentation I found on Microsoft are not adequate, they describe each function/keyword in detail but they don't have (or at least I could not find) anything on creating complex scripts.
The technet scriptcenter is a one stop shop for all things related to microsoft scripting. There are various tutorials and hours of introductory video and labs.
Scriptcenter is good. Another resource is MVPS.org's scripting site.
Powershell.com is a great resource for Powershell scripting. Also, have a look a this free e-book on the site - Mastering Powershell by Dr. Tobias Weltner. Good stuff.

Big Data
Two of the top federal agencies that deal with health care and medical research took center stage at FCW's big data conference on June 20, explaining the many different ways the government uses big data tools and analytics to improve researcher collaboration and early recognition of health trends.
Dr. Jack Collins, director of the Advanced Biomedical Computing Center at the National Cancer Institute, said that sharing big data among medical researchers allows experts to see experiments within their specialty for analysis.
"What I look at big data as – it's really asking the right questions," Collins said. "It's about being able to ask the questions that we couldn't do in the past because we either didn't have the data, we couldn't collect it or we didn't have the means to analyze it."
In terms of health data storage in and of itself, Collins said that a genetic analysis of 20 types of cancers produces roughly one petabyte of data. Improved connectivity allows that data to be accessed directly by the appropriate specialists within the medical community. While Collins acknowledged that connecting experimental data with the appropriate experts has not yet reached its potential, government programs have begun efforts that enable data-analysis integration.
The National Cancer Institute and the Advanced Biomedical Research Center, for example, teamed up with Oracle to create bioDBnet, which integrates biological databases. Researchers are using this data mining to analyze cancer cells, as well as protein signals that can predict post-traumatic stress disorder for the Army.
"Having somebody who knows how to do data and run a query is great, but until it gets to the person who understands what's going on and what to do with that information, it doesn't really matter," Collins said.
Niall Brennan, director of the Office of Information Products and Data Analytics, within the Office of Enterprise Management at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said big data analysis can also predict and explain healthcare trends.
In 2011, almost 20 percent of Medicare beneficiaries were readmitted to medical care after an initial admittance, a rate that had been similar in previous years. When there was a drop in the readmission rate in early 2012, Brennan said that CMS was able to use big data analysis and algorithms to try to explain the reason for the decrease.
"Health reform is about outcomes and outcomes can be hard to identify in changes," Brennan said. "Health and health behavior can take years to manifest themselves. So we don't know if it's account of the organizations, we don't know if it's the readmission penalties that hospitals are facing for certain conditions."
"Both the government and the private sector are barely scratching the surface here," Brennan said.

From the sodden maritime and rolling grass hills of Beaverton,Oregon comes the CD "The Unseen Sound" by the humanist country rock pioneers, RoughCuts.
Centered on a sound of secularism the band delivers tunes that allows the listener to ponder life's happiness and possible meaning with distinction.
Comprised of 3 Oregon musicians , along with a few talented local guest players,including Kris Stuart,(Moonshine Hangover, RootJack) and Marilee Hord (Cocks in the Henhouse) , RoughCuts truly is the sum of their equal parts.
Mark Shifflett takes the lead in vocals, song writing, and acoustic guitar. His wizened voice highlights a cross section of Johnny Cash and Voltaire. This is met with the musical brilliance of Nick Angelo(electric guitars) and Tim Murphy(bass,vocals) both of the group Featherstone, and SleepWalk Kid.
Together, they engineered, mixed, and arranged the musical melodies and played instruments from banjoes to glockenspiels and dulcimers to synthesizers.
With the "unseen sound" brought to light, RoughCuts intends to continue to search for the truer sound..

Australia Carbon Deal Failure May Spur Poll
CANBERRA -- A senior Australian government minister said Friday that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd could call an early election if Parliament fails to pass his carbon trading program.
The government is negotiating possible changes to the program with opposition lawmakers who control the upper house Senate. It is hopeful a deal can be brokered over the weekend.
Parliament enters its final week of the year on Monday, leaving just days for the government to push through its carbon program before a long summer recess.
Business groups are calling on lawmakers to settle the issue, given uncertainty around the carbon program is hampering firms' ability to make investment decisions and strike forward contracts, particularly in the electricity sector.
"This has been rejected once, we want to pass it the second time," Trade Minister Simon Crean told Sky News Television.
Australia's center-left Labor government won a majority in the lower House of Representatives in a November 2007 election. But it needs the Senate support of either the main conservative Liberal-National opposition, or all seven minor party senators to pass any new laws.
Opposition lawmakers already rejected the legislation once, in August. Under Australian electoral laws, the government can call an early election if the same piece of legislation is twice rejected by the Senate, three months" apart.
Australia is the biggest per capita polluter in the developed world, due mainly to the fact that it uses fossil fuels, chiefly coal, for around 90% of its electricity generation.
The climate bills currently before the Senate, if passed, would see Australia introduce a market-based carbon trading scheme, similar to one already operating in Europe, in July 2011, forcing the nation's biggest polluters to pay for their greenhouse-gas emissions.
The aim, by 2020, is to reduce Australia's emissions by at least 5% from levels at the turn of the century.
Some conservative lawmakers still harbor deep concerns about the program and are threatening to vote it down, even if a deal is brokered by conservative party negotiators to increase compensation for industry.
That would be a break from the more usual situation where coalition party members vote as a block. Already, senators from junior coalition partner the rural-based Nationals have said they'll block the legislation regardless of any negotiation outcomes.
The government has been negotiating with the conservative Liberal-National coalition on a series of demands ranging from agriculture to coal mining, food processing and others.
The government said Sunday it is prepared to exclude agriculture from its carbon trading program but Climate Change Minister Penny Wong wouldn't be drawn Friday on other possible concessions.
"We want a scheme that is environmentally effective as well as economically responsible. That's how we'll judge all of the issues that are on the table," she told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
Conservative Senator Nick Minchin, who leads the Liberal party in the Senate, Thursday described the carbon program as an "abomination".
His comments are at odds with Liberal-National coalition leader Malcolm Turnbull, who has staked his leadership on delivering enough conservative votes to pass the program if the coalition amendments are agreed to by the government.

Whitefish Bay HS will complete their 2009-2010 theatre season with Shakespeare's comedy "Much Ado About Nothing" this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 6, 7, and 8 at 7:30 PM in the Whitefish Bay HS Auditorium. This show has a collaborative quality with guest director, Mr. Tom Bruno, in collaboration with Cardinal Stritch Theatre faculty and students, encouraging a near-professional level of performance from BAY students. As this is the final show of the year, it will also be the final show for our seniors, many who plan to go on in Theatre at the next level. If you have enjoyed WFBHS Theatre in the past, you must see this final production of the year.
THE STORY: Leonato, a kindly and respectable nobleman, lives in the idyllic Italian town of Messina. Leonato shares his house with his lovely young daughter, Hero, his playful, clever niece, Beatrice, and his elderly brother, Antonio. As the play begins, Leonato prepares to welcome some friends home from a war. The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes, often at the expense of his friends. Don John, Don Pedro's illegitimate brother, is part of the crowd as well. Don John, bitterly upset, makes trouble for the others.
This may be the most grounded of Shakespeare's comedies: There are no fairies and goddesses, no teenage lovers wandering off into the woods — just a pair of sweethearts who have been hurt too many times, and another pair for whom heartbreak is new. Beatrice and Benedick are said to be engaged in "a kind of merry war," but the start of this production shows them none too merry. These are two people who really believe they detest each other, and it takes all the manipulations of the entire Sicilian town of Messina to set the lovers straight.

For developers, OpenVBX can be skinned, customized and sold, providing a scalable, unique solution for businesses regardless of size.
OpenVBX requires MySQL 5+, PHP (5.2 is recommended), a Twilio Account and a Web server. Twilio itself doesn't provide hosting, but the company does recommend DreamHost for a one-click install. OpenVBX 0.74 can be downloaded at openvbx.org/download.
Not open-sourceThe client libraries may be open-source, but the underlying platform is a fee-based hosted system for which source is not available. Twilio is being disingenuous.

1) Known to his friends and family as Matt Cutler, Lone started life as a bedroom child producer in Nottingham experimenting with hiphop, early 90's hardcore, techno and electronic music for years before dropping his lush, dream-hop début opus "Lemurian" on local label Dealmaker back in 2008 to critical acclaim from all areas of the industry, including a top 10 of the year slot from Bleep, props from Kode9, Rustie, James Holden and countless others.Read More...
This was quickly followed by a remix on Warp Records for Bibio and a deal with Actress' London label Werk Discs, where he released the follow-up album "Ecstasy & Friends", which merged an endless range of styles including 80's funk, 90's hiphop and his trademark - hazy, sun-drenched melodies inspired by long time heroes Boards of Canada.
With his warped out sound locked down by 2009, Lone has switched things up for '10, concentrating on a much heavier Chicago house/techno and early 90's London rave sound aimed at destroying parties while simultaneously staying true to his beautiful, nostalgic melodic style. With the Kode9 backed "Once in a While" tune about to drop on Werk Discs and "Pineapple Crush" coming on his own Magic Wire label, support from artists and DJ's such as Mr. Scruff, µ-Ziq, Glasgow's LuckyMe crew, MachineDrum, FaltyDL and Rinse FM's Alex Nut - Lone is one of the most exciting young producers out there, and certainly one to watch for the future.
2) A Belgian based alternative rock band made up of guitarist-singer Sacha Delone, drummer Paolo de la Croix, guitarist Antoine Paterka and bassist Michael Magalon. The band was formed in 2002. Lone's music is often classified as alternative rock. Listen to 4 songs on www.myspace.com/lonemusik.

Canon EOS 700D boosts the entry-level, replaces 650D
Canon has updated its top "beginner" DLSR with the launch of the Canon EOS 700D.
The EOS 700D effectively tweaks the 650D it replaces, bringing a few incremental changes but still sticking to what we think is a great line of DSLR cameras. Canon says the changes make this its "most advanced consumer DSLR to date".
The EOS 650D now looks to have retired, so the EOS 700D sits above the EOS 600D and below the EOS 60D in the line-up. It offers a range of enhancements over the 600D by giving you a touchscreen on the rear and an additional position on the power switch to move straight to movie capture mode.
There's an 18-megapixel sensor at its heart along with the DIGIC 5 image processing engine, you get 5fps image capture, along with and ISO range that runs up to 12,800 natively, promising you good detail in low light. We'll test those claims when we get the EOS 700D in for a full review, although we suspect it will perform closely to the 650D.
READ: Canon EOS 650D review
There's a change to the mode dial on the top, as it can now rotate all the way, so you don't have to switch back and forth, so it's now more convenient.
There's a 3-inch touch display on the rear, as well as the optical viewfinder. The former gives you 100 per cent field of view when in live view, the latter only 95 per cent, typical for this class of camera.
Canon is highlighting the fact that the EOS 700D is coated in a new protective finish, designed to enhanced the durability of the camera. It's found on those in the mid-range, so should stop the plastic body of the EOS 700D getting scratched so easily.
We'll be bringing you more on the Canon EOS 700D as soon as we get our hands on one.

As automotive writers, we're always asked what our favorite cars are or which cars we would buy if we had the money. To answer the latter query, Vanity Fair writer Brett Berk polled 13 scribes to see what they'd pick for under $100,000. An interesting mix of vehicles ensues. Some of the choices stretched the imaginary budget to its max while others went all bang-for-the-buck on us, but what's most surprising about the list is that more than half the cars on it are not available with a manual tra

At the moment DD is fascinated by trains. It started out as a Thomas the Tank Engine thing but it has developed into all trains. DH takes the train to work too.
We have - taken a train ride to the next town and back again

*Jan looks for popcorn, gets coffee instead. Thankfully.*
These reviews and the replies sure are colorful for this plugin. Todd, you really need to refrain from implying legal threats as you've done in your other comments. You know what I am referring to and those comments were deleted.
Note: All comments and opinions below are mine and do not reflect the opinion of any other group that I may belong to. So there.
tl;dr I'm rating this plugin a 1 star. If this plugin were supported and provided functionality transparently then I may revise my review. But there is zero support for this plugin and I do not like having plugins that apparently serves to promote another commercial plugin.
Review begins below.
The Admin Pages
After I installed it I found this in the admin page.
That's a lot of way over the top advertisement don't you think? Especially when the admin part is this tiny little 2 check boxes.
Two small check boxes buried beneath all that "Sell! Sell! Sell!". I had to resize the font on my browser (that's why the font is tiny) to be able to see the whole thing.
But What Does This Plugin Actually Do?
As far as I can see, all this plugin does is generates a password for each comment such as "gpK9GOUxU1LM" or "Esxji4SW3dQ9" that the commenter must copy and paste from the field that is marked with "* Copy This Password *" and paste it into " * Type Or Paste Password Here *"
That's not really useful to me as all that does is introduce another barrier to my commenters. I find that using other plugins afford me comment protection as well as pingback and trackback protection.
Spam protection is not easy but while this is not as burdensome as a CAPTCHA (which I will never use on my sites) it does inhibit comments. To me that's not SPAM protection as much as it's "BUG YOUR USERS" protection. Yes that will stop bots (maybe, I installed it on a test blog and that doesn't get any comments) but I want to encourage real people to comment on my posts.
This doesn't really encourage that conversation. I may be looking for anti-spam magic™ but there are other plugins that do that successfully without adding anything obvious to the comment form.
GPL'ed code
Looking at the code your plugin that is hosted here is 100% GPL and I don't see any issues there. There are whole sections in the
includes directory that I do not think is even engaged but I didn't do any tracing.
I sure do not see that code in the sparse admin settings page.
THE. PLUGIN. PAGE. (insert dramatic sound track HERE)
Here's the problem I have with your plugin page on the WordPress repo.
The first 22 lines of your plugin page are dedicated to selling a plugin on your commercial site.
That's 288 words for an advertisement that has nothing to do with the plugin that is hosted on WordPress repository here.
Not counting the About the Author or the language list you dedicate a whole thirty three words to your actual plugin on that plugin page on the bottom like an afterthought.
(That's 33, 3 x 11, 30+3... well you get the idea.)
Only 11% of your verbiage has anything to do with your hosted plugin here and you toss in that last verbiage like an afterthought of "Oh yeah, I should probably talk about the plugin that I don't provide any support for."
Edit: Correction, it's a total of 321 words when you combine the text verbiage. So 33 divided by 321... *looks for paper* 10% of the verbiage at the bottom. *Drinks more coffee*
That's just thick. It's oversell plain and simple. You're using the space allocated to your plugin here to promote your other plugin that's not hosted here.
Now plugin support has always been optional and you do get points for coming right out and saying "There is no support for Spam Free WordPress"
Support (or lack of) should be a critical part of the decision to use a plugin. That statement alone would make me not consider using your plugin for real.
But using the plugin page here to shill for your commercial plugin? That's Just Not Cool™ Todd. Not cool at all.

Maradona to lead football academy in Dubai
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Describing Dubai as his second home, Argentine icon Diego Maradona also said on Tuesday he was thrilled to be hired for another year in his role as global ambassador for the sports-mad, Persian Gulf city.
Maradona was hired last year as ambassador by the Dubai Sports Council soon after he was sacked as the coach of Dubai-based club Al Wasl after only one season. The council said it will extend his contract for another year but offered no details on how much it will pay the football great.

Dear Bundang,
Hello! We go to school at Woodlawn Elementary and are thirteen 3-5th graders in an afterschool program through HEART Portland learning about plastic pollution and solutions. We were very excited to discover that we could write to other students around the world (our instructor pointed out where you are on the world map so we know where you are) about this issue!
We live in Portland, Oregon, a part of the United States referred to as the Pacific Northwest. It's gray and rainy and much like a rainforest where we live because it is so green. The PNW is known for taking good care of the planet and its communities, though we have a lot to learn about doing better.
We are excited to learn from you and hopefully share some knowledge of what happens here in the way of reducing trash! Here are some questions we answered as a class. At the end there are questions we would like you to answer!
1. What do you think happens to trash?
"It gets compounded." – Orray
"It gets smashed and then it gets burned."
"The trash goes to a dumpster." – Latavia
"The trash goes to a recycle place." – Kamara
"I think trash goes to a dump with other trash." – Melody
2. Where does trash go after you throw it away?
"[It becomes] recycled paper." – Latavia
"It goes to a big machine." – Daija
"I like that trash gets turned into something new." – Veda
3. Where does trash come from?
"Trash comes from candy wrappers." Brandon
"It comes from things you use or maybe a machine."
"From paper and plastic." – Ayantu
Most popular answer: trash comes from paper.
4. How are animals affected by trash?
"Animals are affected by trash because all the dangerous textures." – Orray
"Animals are affected by trash because it makes them sick." – Brandon
"Animals get affected by all the things that fall off ships and trucks and also by all the smoke and
gas from buildings" – Veda
"They can choke on it and the trash can make water dirty" – Melody
Questions for Bundang Preschool Academy (PSA)
"Do you care about trash?" -Orray
"Do you recycle where you live?" – Veda
"Do you have lots of trash?" – Melody

Over the course of two weeks from June to July, the Red Sox saw seven starters land on the injury report. Issues ranged from left fielder Chris Young's strained right hamstring to relief pitcher Junichi Tazawa's right should discomfort plus tendinitis, sprains and a contusion mixed in, too. And while it's never a good time for the injury bug to bite, at least the Sox have a winning record and the All-Star break as an opportunity to rest and recover. But as Julie Ruane, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Sports Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says: "Now's the perfect time to get back to the basics, and that starts with stretching."
So why's it so important to stretch? "Stretching plays a vital role in maintaining physical health," says Ruane. "A stretching regimen should be incorporated into every individual's routine."
Ruane explained that there's a persistent misconception of stretching as an add-on to exercise…
