A 'chroot() jail' is only as secure as the lack of skills of the chroot'ed
user. There are a number of _relatively_ simple mechanisms to break out of
jail - and this becomes easier when they have the ability to grab software
from "outside". They need only to obtain 'root' access through some local
exploit and they're out.
>Can anyone tell me what I should look out for in placing people in chroot
Do you trust the individuals? (If not, why are they granted access?)
Is your system updated such that root exploits are going to be Day Zero
type exploits? The later means you have to stay on top of the system,
patching problems as soon as they are known.

Safety, Environment and Comfort Benefits of Honda's Approach to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
October 19, 2012 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will participate in the World ITS Congress from October 22 through 26, with a demonstration of how its vehicles can communicate both with each other and with road-side infrastructure to benefit road safety, the environment, driver comfort and convenience.
At the 19th World ITS Congress in Vienna, visitors will find the latest information on Honda's ITS activities in Europe, Japan and the United States. Congress participants can also experience for themselves Honda's ITS equipped Insight and an ITS Honda motorcycle (NC700X) by participating in the joint Car2Car and Testfeld Telematic Consortium demonstration around Vienna.
The Honda stand will showcase technologies and vehicles covering 3 thematic uses: safety ITS, green ITS and comfort ITS.
Outside the congress, participants will be able to sign up to a driving tour to experience the benefits of ITS applications in traffic around Vienna. A Honda Insight will travel in a multi brand convoy where the cars can communicate their location and driving dynamics not only to each other but also to road-side ITS stations, allowing them to receive in-vehicle notifications, such as 'green light optimal speed' and warning alerts, including:
The final safety application demonstration will show a warning when vehicles ahead put on their emergency brakes and a 'motorcycle approaching' indicator, which warns both the car driver and the motorcyclist (on an ITS enabled Honda NC700X) that there is an obscured vehicle potentially approaching across their direction of travel.
As the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, Honda will showcase its pioneering motorcycle safety technology and motorcycle connectivity. Honda joined the Car2Car Communication Consortium in Europe in 2005, working in particular on the integration of the motorcycle into the future of connected vehicles. In 1999, Honda was the first automotive company to bring connectivity to both cars and motorcycles (with the ASV2, Advanced Safety Vehicle research project) to enhance both rider and driver safety. In 2008, Honda led the first demonstration in Europe of the motorcycle application on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing, within the Car2Car Communication Consortium. At this year's demonstration, Honda has further developed the motorcycle warning system, called the 'Human-Machine-Interface', to enable it to function on more compact motorcycles, such as the NC700X.
The 'Motorcycle Approaching Indication' (abbreviated as MAI) is a safety application, which Honda has worked on as part of the joint Car2Car demonstration. According to the European motorcycle accident in-depth study 'MAIDS', the majority of accidents involving motorcyclists are caused by the other vehicle not properly seeing the oncoming motorcycle. The motorcycle-to-car connectivity system provides timely warnings to the drivers of both vehicles. The standardized data exchange message, which is sent between the networked vehicles, contains an identifier for motorcycles, so that the receiving vehicles are able to identify the oncoming vehicle as a 'motorcycle' and they can then take the necessary precautions. The most common accident configuration of intersection accident with vehicles on perpendicular paths (at T-junctions) was first demonstrated in 2008. The second most common configuration of left turn accidents was demonstrated at Odaiba area in Tokyo, Japan in 2010, whereby a vehicle turns left and cuts across the path of an oncoming motorcycle. A third accident configuration with vehicles coming from opposing directions is being demonstrated at this year's joint Car2Car and TT Consortium Cooperative Mobility demonstration in Vienna.
Honda is a signatory of a Memorandum of Understanding with other vehicle manufacturers committed to making ITS technology a reality in the near future. Co-operative projects in which Honda participates in Europe, Japan and in the USA have already demonstrated the potential in ITS for linking people, mobility and the traffic environment to enable safer driving, with less congestion for a more comfortable mobile society. And of course, Honda is fully committed to bringing these systems to the motorcycle and making it available to the motorcycle riding community. The connected motorcycle heralds a revolution in motorcycling - and Honda is proud to be leading the charge.

DARTMOUTH — Select Board members agreed Monday night to place a ballot question in front of voters this April to gauge their support for "fundamental change" to town government.
"Many people say there is too much authority with the Town Administrator," Watson said.
Watson's proposed, nonbinding ballot question would ask residents if they approved of the town's department heads reporting directly to the Select Board and not the administrator.
Watson said the proposal did not arise because of dissatisfaction with Town Administrator David Cressman but rather with what he called an inefficient town government structure.
The proposal drew support from Select Board members, who added that it may not go far enough.
"I think we're a town that doesn't know it's a city," Select Board member Joseph L. Michaud said, suggesting that Dartmouth consider adopting a city council form of government. "You'd be hard pressed to find another community (this size) with an elected Town Meeting."
Watson said he considered a question on whether Dartmouth should become a city, but decided not to because Town Meeting would not vote to abolish itself.
Chairwoman Lara Stone said she wanted to see multiple options on the question.
The board agreed to draft a ballot question for April's town election.
"Something needs to be done," Watson said. "Most people think we need fundamental change."

NextGen Releases Ad Trashing Keystone Pipeline
The Keystone XL pipeline isn't likely to come up during the State of the Union address but it's on many people's minds – including environmental activists'.
On Tuesday evening before the speech, NextGen Climate Action, the political advocacy group led by San Francisco philanthropist Tom Steyer, will run an ad on MSNBC trashing the pipeline proposal.

"It's a sucker punch to America's heartland," begins the ad, called "Sucker Punch." The "truth" about Keystone, the ad goes on to say, is that only the pipeline's builders and other countries like China that will buy the Canadian oil from the pipeline, will gain from it – not America.
China is counting on the United States to approve the pipeline, which will deliver crude oil from Canada's Alberta province through the American Midwest to the Gulf Coast for international shipping.
Mr. Steyer and his organization have focused on stopping the pipeline because, he has said, it will result in the use of more fossil fuels instead of newer clean energy. A top donor to Democrats and liberal causes, Mr. Steyer has made Keystone the, well, keystone, of his climate-change campaign.

"Oil lobbyists and politicians — they take Americans for suckers," says the voice in the ad that ends, "Just say no to Keystone."
The oil producers' lobby, the American Petroleum Institute, which strongly supports Keystone XL and wants the president to approve it, is unimpressed by the NextGen ad.
"This is another scare tactic," said API spokesman Eric Wohlschlegel. "Where are the facts?"
API has stressed that oil is a global commodity available for sale to anyone, including the U.S. "What's the real agenda here?" Mr. Wohlschlegel said.

Editorial note: March is Women's History Month. The Colorado Statesman this month will profile four lawmakers who are leaving their marks. This week: Sen. Suzanne Williams, D-Aurora; next week, House Majority Leader Amy Stephens, R-Monument.
While term limits were intended to send legislators home after eight years in the House and the same in the Senate, surprisingly few will do that after the 68th General Assembly.
After the 2012 session, only one will have hit that 16-year mark: Sen. Suzanne Williams, D-Aurora, who was elected to House District 41 in 1997, replacing term-limited Rep. Peggy Kerns, D-Aurora, the House Minority Leader during the previous session.
Williams sat down with The Colorado Statesman last week to talk about the things that matter to her as a legislator, and revealed a few surprises about what being a legislator has meant. In the interest of full disclosure, The Statesman did not ask about Williams' current situation related to her December auto accident.
In her first year at the Capitol, for the 1997 session, Williams was one of 24 women in the House, and that's the same number of women in the House this year. But in the Senate, how things have changed. She's one of 17 women in the Senate, 14 of them on the Democratic side. Democratic women outnumber the men 14 to 6.
Williams said that at the time she began her legislative career, the rule of thumb was that freshmen legislators didn't get bills passed, especially if the legislator was in the minority party. "If you were in the minority party, forget that in your first year you would pass a bill," she said. But Williams bucked the trend, and she said that was because she could communicate with and build relationships with the majority Republicans.
Those efforts resulted in Williams' first bill to get to the governor's desk, House Bill 07-1125, on penalties for graffiti. The bill had two Republican co-sponsors in the House: Rep. Tambor Williams, R-Greeley; and Rep. Mary Ellen Epps, R-Colorado Springs; in the Senate, it was carried by Sen. Dottie Wham, D-Denver, and after final passage in May was signed by Gov. Roy Romer.
She spoke fondly of some of the Republican women who came into the House in that 1997 session as freshmen: Rep. Kay Alexander, R-Montrose; Rep. Gayle Berry, R-Grand Junction; and Tambor Williams. "My best friends and peers were Republican women," Williams said. She also spoke fondly of Wham, noting that she, Wham, Alexander and Berry all worked together on a childcare commission, work that Williams continued when she came into the Senate in 2005. "We did great work," Williams said with pride, in part because of the partnerships these legislators built up with both parties. "We built up the infrastructure" so that Lt. Gov. Barbara O'Brien came along it became a part of the policies and under the direction of that office.
Williams said she got along well with the freshmen Republican women because they had a lot in common. "I'm a moderate Democrat, they were moderate Republicans. They would help me often, I would help them always."
That only she and Bacon have made it to the 2011 session, and nearing that 16-year mark, is a reflection of what happens in peoples' lives, she said. Sometimes there are "natural term limits," she mused, other opportunities come along. Two of the Republican women, Berry and Tambor Williams, got primaried in their districts. U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., also was a member of that freshmen class, as was Rep. Bill Sinclair, R-Colorado Springs. Udall went onto Congress and Sinclair decided not to go on to the Senate. After three terms, Alexander ran for the Senate, in 2002, but lost to Sen. Jim Isgar, D-Hesperus.
As to the difference between when she first ran in 1996 and today, Williams said it's being in the majority. She spent all of her time in the House in the minority but her election to the Senate District 28 seat in 2005 gave the Democrats one of the four seats that made the 18-17 difference. Williams defeated a Republican, Bruce Cairns, and was the first Democrat to hold that seat, with predecessors that read like a "Who's Who" of GOP successes: Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo.; Elsie Lacy (chair of the Joint Budget Committee) and Gov. Bill Owens.
"When you're in the majority," Williams said, "it's a lot of responsibility. You just don't say 'no' to things; you have to lead the way." It's different now, with Republicans in charge of the House, but even there Williams has been able to draw upon her own experience as a member of the minority from her House days. "We partner more with the minority (Republicans), just like when I was in the House, I learned to partner with the majority Republicans." Back then, Williams said, she was often the token Democrat on education and children's issues.
The 1997-98 Colorado Press Association legislative directory includes this about Williams: transportation, education and environment as her legislative agenda, and for interests, historical biographies, outdoor activities, travel, tennis, biking and aerobics. Nowhere does it mention her heritage as a Comanche.
Williams told The Statesman that the most rewarding part of her legislative career, and one that she says she will "take with me forever," is reconnecting with her Native American roots. She never lived on a reservation, growing up in Oklahoma City and later, north of Chicago, during her childhood. "I've always been proud of my heritage," she said, but "I didn't know a lot about the Comanche, other than tidbits, such as that they were great horsemen, they fought hard, that kind of thing."
Williams is the only registered Native American state legislator in Colorado, and said the re-awakening coincided with coming into the legislative policy mode at the state Capitol. "I learned more about Native Americans, about reservations, our Ute Mountain Utes and Southern Utes," she said. That helped her re-connect with her own heritage, and led her to work with the lieutenant governors, who are responsible for Native American relations.
The second bill Williams got to the governor's desk, in the 1998 session, was to add curriculum on Native Americans to K-12 education. "That connection with my roots, becoming friends with the Utes," gave her an appreciation of Colorado's Native American history and some of the attributes of Native Americans. What stands out for Williams is both their spirituality and their sense of humor, something she observed in her own family as a child. "Perhaps that's a survival technique," she said. As to the spirituality, Williams aid she learned that every Native American event is opened with a prayer, something she didn't know before she became a legislator. "I have a connection with that spiritual quality and appreciation for the spiritual heritage that connects so strongly with the earth, the environment, with animals."
When asked what frustrated her about being a legislator, Williams hesitated. "I'm a person of cooperation; I work in a cooperative mode, and I like to work with people of the other party and to have good policy" that comes from that cooperation. "The frustrating part, at times, is to experience the partisan political ugly head that raises itself from time to time." She says it's really no different now than it was when she first came to the state Capitol.
She's most proud of the legislation she's helped pass on early childhood education, which she said has made Colorado a leader in that area; and educating legislators and other elected officials that the education of the youngest children prepares them to succeed in school. "I've done a lot of education bills. That's my background. I've been an advocate for special education, developmental disability issues, and usually ever year I carry something on education."
Williams also pointed to 2005 legislation that allowed more public access to the state's sex offender registry, and a bill this year to place restrictions and require better education and training for use of prone mechanical restraints in jails and mental health facilities.
But transportation is really her love, Williams said. She's enjoyed her experience on the transportation committees, including as part of the leadership of the Senate committee, and lauds the efforts of the General Assembly on mass transit. "We've proven people will ride and the capacity is there, and it's definitely safe," and that will always be a highlight, she said. Transportation "is an exciting issue," she added.
This year, Colorado leads in the number of women in its state legislature, with 41 between the House and Senate. Williams attributes it to the strong women in Colorado's history. "Women have stepped forward in our state from the very beginning," Williams said. "We were the first state to have a woman in the Legislature, we've continued to build on that, and while it's fluctuated over the years, this is the era of women in our country, whether Republican or Democrat."
"Women in the West and in Colorado have been seen as equal partners to men. It's a natural thing for women in Colorado to be leaders, policymakers, and active in their communities, and then because of term limits they have come into the legislative process," she said.

Virgin Media Heading For A 'Polefall'?
Virgin Media's announcement that it is to trial 50 megabits per second broadband via fiber optic cables strung between telegraph poles seems welcome news for the villagers of Woolhampton, 30 miles west of London, where the six-month trial is taking place.
The U.K. government is pushing for rural areas to get better access to broadband, and Virgin Media's trial is another step in providing the universal access that government wants.
The practice of running fiber optic cables strung between telegraph poles (otherwise called utility poles, telephone poles and a host of other names) instead of through underground ducts has been going on elsewhere for many years in countries such as Japan, Canada and the U.S.
In the U.S., however, it hasn't been without its pitfalls. Or should that be 'polefalls?' The LA Times, on May 6 last year, carried an item that began:
LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO — In the gusty predawn hours of Oct. 21, 2007, portions of three wooden utility poles in Malibu Canyon snapped and fell to the ground. Sparks from live electrical wires ignited dry brush, creating an inferno that raced down the canyon into the Civic Center area, destroying 14 structures and 36 vehicles.
The item went on to report how a California Public Utilities Commission investigation concluded that the poles were so overloaded with electrical and telecommunication wires and other equipment that they broke. In another report, the commission found that sparks from the power lines downed by strong winds caused four brush fires that destroyed 200,000 acres and more than 1,300 homes.
In a related article, the Ventura County Star paper cited Malibu Canyon's mayor, Andy Stern, as saying: "It's a horrifying thought that poles that were put up decades ago are now being loaded with more and more wires," and that power companies and mobile operators were fighting over who is responsible for pole safety.
Perhaps these complex issues are why in the U.S. there is at least one conference dedicated to the subject: the Southeastern Utility Pole Conference and Trade Show, which includes a 'Wood Pole Standard Seminar.'
Still, there's no suggestion that Virgin Media will face similar issues in picturesque Woolhampton, which only has around 900 inhabitants.
It wasn't immediately clear if rival BT Group is looking at similar options for its fiber rollout.

Morning Briefing: Czech Govt Faces Confidence Vote
- Local/GMT
- 0900/0700 Hungary Jan-March unemployment figures
- 1500/1300 George Soros lectures in Budapest
- N/A Czech govt faces confidence vote
- N/A US energy secretary visits Prague
The fate of yet another European government hangs in the balance Friday as two years of austerity measures have led to unrest and political instability in the Czech Republic.
In Prague, the fiscally-conservative government of prime minister Petr Necas faces a confidence vote in parliament, and is likely to emerge unscathed after a week of negotiations.
The resilience of the government was already tested in parliament Tuesday when Necas called for lawmakers to postpone the start of the regularly scheduled session until next week. His proposal was passed with a majority of votes.
People within Necas' Civic Democrat party, or ODS, say they should secure 103 votes in the 200-seat lower house.
In Budapest, analysts expect Hungary's unemployment rate to have reached 11.7% during January to March, meaning the jobless rate continues to be elevated and is yet to show signs of decreasing.
Hungarian-born investment magnate George Soros will appear in a dialogue with professor of politics Alan Ryan at the Central European University in Budapest on the concept of open Society and contemporary political and economic developments.
POLAND: Polish mining company KGHM Polska Miedz SA (KGH.WA) is aiming to relist its newly acquired international unit in 2014, Chief Executive Herbert Wirth said Thursday.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Russia's sanitary watchdog introduced a temporary ban on live pig stock from Germany and the Czech Republic that tested positive for brucellosis, the service said Thursday.
HUNGARY: The International Monetary Fund said Thursday it welcomes recent progress in negotiations between Hungary and the European Commission, but said the fund can only restart talks for an emergency loan for the country after Budapest resolves concerns about the central bank's independence.
ROMANIA: Smithfield Foods is rebooting its Romanian pork plant as it begins exporting from that country to the rest of Europe, after the lifting of a 6-year ban on pig products from the country. It is adding better order management software, as well as analytic capabilities in the U.S. to help speed its time to market.
BULGARIA: Vienna-based media rights group SEEMO criticised the culture of "corporate journalism" in Bulgaria Thursday, complaining that reporters skewed their coverage to satisfy their owners.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are still frustrated by the relief efforts to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The couple appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday night, July 5, and gave a walking tour of one of New Orleans' hardest hit areas. "I think the most frustrating part is when there's so much red tape that has to be crossed before things get done," Faith said on the program. Tim added, "All I know is, I wish things could move faster." The two refrained from criticizing President Bush and other government officials about the relief efforts. Tim and Faith continue to provide help, donating the proceeds from their July 5 New Orleans concert to hurricane victims. That figure has been estimated at around one million dollars.
Fans can see more of Tim and Faith on Anderson Cooper 360 Friday night, July 7. Their July 5 segment was cut short due to developing world news, but the show will now be aired in its entirety. The heroes of Katrina's aftermath will be the main focus.

Cap'n Slappy fulfills a dream of a lifetime when he gets to ride the rail of Moby Duck during the Seattle Sea Fair, July 2004. It was the single greatest week of Cap'n Slappy's life. Seated behind him is Peter Klasell, the Sea Fair Pirates' Captain Kidd for the year. The lads reveled all week with the Pirates in Cap'n Slappy's home town, an' for all they remember, had a great time - and were subsequently declared honorary members o' the brigade.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
She knows basic commands such as sit, out, come, and working on paw and down. She knows not to be in the kitchen while her foster parents are eating or while Destiny the foster dog sibling is eating, she stays in her area to eat. Good on leash for short or long walks. Really not interested too much in other dogs but just fine with them. Laid back and low key. House trained. She is great with kids. A little shy of men but warms up nicely after a while. Sweet Sonic has not been exposed to kitty friends, so we do not know how she would do in a home with cats.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in adopting Sonic! Our adoption fee is $300. $75 of the adoption fee is refundable if proof of obedience class is demonstrated within 3 months of adoption. Each of our pups goes to their forever family up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered & microchipped.
Sonic, a Richmond Catahoula Leopard Dog/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Labrador Retriever for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Richmond.

By Isabel Coles QANDIL MOUNTAINS, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdish rebels are ready to re-enter Turkey from northern Iraq, the head of the group's political wing said at his mountain hideout, threatening to rekindle an insurgency unless Ankara resuscitates their peace process soon. Accusing Turkey of waging a proxy war against Kurds in Syria by backing Islamist rebels fighting them in the north, Cemil Bayik, a founding member of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) told Reuters the group had the right to retaliate. ...

It appears that Google's finally reading to start pushing their latest and greatest, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the Motorola XOOM. After announcing the update at Google IO for a few of their devices, the Motorola XOOM is the last Google experience device to see the update -- not counting the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
Back around July 15th Motorola started sending out notifications to their "feedback network" of beta testers regarding the update, but now it appears to be ready. The changelog was posted and users have started reporting the update is arriving on their tablets as of earlier yesterday. The build is version 4.1.1 Jelly Bean JRO03D -- the same build version the Nexus 7 received a few weeks ago.
After initially hearing the update was rolling out, and receiving a few tips suggesting users had received it, we've also heard the update has been delayed. For now we aren't seeing reports that users are still getting the tasty treat, but you can download it now if you dare. The folks from Android Police have the download link for those interested. As a reminder this is for the WiFi version only, Verizon users need not apply. As usual.
Let us know when you get the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on your Motorola XOOM. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Depression Health Center
Treating Depression May Reduce Risk of Heart Attack
Oct. 15, 2001 -- Since their introduction a decade ago, the antidepressant medicines collectively called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac and Zoloft have become some of the most widely prescribed drugs on the planet. Millions of people take SSRIs each day to combat symptoms of depression, and a new study suggests the antidepressants might be helping their hearts as well as their moods.
People taking SSRIs seemed to reduce their risk of heart attack by 65%, compared to those not taking the antidepressants, as both groups participated in a study conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. Previous studies have found a link between depression and heart disease. But this is the largest study to date to show a protective benefit from this class of antidepressants. The report was published Oct.16 in the journal Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Lead researcher Stephen E. Kimmel, MD, suggests the drugs might protect the heart in the same manner as aspirin: thinning the blood and preventing the formation of blood clots, which cause a heart attack.
But Kimmel tells WebMD that his study was too small and limited to allow more than an educated guess about how SSRIs work or even if they really do benefit the heart. All of the study participants were smokers and few took other types of antidepressants.
The researchers compared 653 randomly selected people who had experienced a heart attack with nearly 3,000 people with no history of heart problems. The study was designed to test the value of nicotine patches in preventing heart attacks, but data were also collected on antidepressant use.
After accounting for factors known to influence heart attack risk, the researchers concluded that people who took SSRIs for depression seemed to be protected from heart problems. Kimmel says, however, that the researchers cannot determine whether it was the antidepressants themselves that were so helpful or if treating the depression indirectly benefits the heart.
Cardiologist Lynn Smaha, MD, PhD, who is a past-president of the American Heart Association, agrees that larger and more precise studies are needed to determine SSRIs' effect on the heart.

Citation: Faber, T.A., Dilger, R.N., Hopkins, A.C., Price, N.P., Fahey, G.C. 2012. Effects of oligosaccharides in a soybean meal-based diet on fermentative and immune responses in broiler chicks challenged with Eimeria acervulina [abstract]. American Society of Animal Sciences. Technical Abstract: Fermentable oligosaccharides, particularly those found in soybean meal (SBM), may modulate fermentation in the ceca, thus affecting intestinal immune responses to intestinal pathogens. We hypothesized that fermentable oligosaccharides found in SBM would positively impact cecal fermentation and intestinal immune status in chicks challenged with an acute coccidiosis (Eimeria acervulina) infection and fed either a SBM-based diet or a semi-purified soy protein isolate- (SPI) based diet. Using a completely randomized design, day-old broiler chicks (n=200; 5 replications/treatment; 5 chicks/replication) were assigned to one of four SBM- or SPI-based diets containing either dietary cellulose (4%) or a fermentable carbohydrate, galactoglucomannan oligosaccharide-arabinoxylan (GGMO-AX) complex (4%). On d 9 post-hatch, an equal number of chicks on each diet were inoculated with either distilled water (sham control) or E. acervulina (1x10**6 oocysts) and then euthanized on d 7 post-inoculation (PI). Overall, body weight gain and feed intake were greater (P < 0.01) for SBM-fed chicks, regardless of infection status. Gain:feed ratio was greater (P = 0.05) for SPI-fed chicks except during d 3-7 PI. Infection status, but not fiber source, affected propionate, isobutyrate, isovalerate, and total BCFA concentrations (P = 0.02). Soybean meal-based diets resulted in greater (P = 0.04) SCFA and BCFA concentrations than SPI-based diets. Messenger RNA fold changes of all duodenal cytokines were greater (P = 0.01) for infected chicks, and SBM-fed chicks had greater (P < 0.01) IFN-y and IL-12ß expression compared with SPI-fed chicks. Cecal tonsil cytokine expression was also affected (P = 0.02) by infection; however, protein source only affected (P < 0.01) IL-1ß expression in this tissue. Overall, a SBM-based diet, compared to a semi-purified SPI-based diet, resulted in greater weight gain, feed intake, and SCFA production regardless of infection status, and also greater duodenal cytokine expression in E. acervulina- infected chicks, which is hypothesized to be related to the oligosaccharides found in SBM.

The Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department said the crash happened just after 6:30 p.m. and involved three vehicles.
Sheriff's deputies said a car was headed north on Route 1 when the driver illegally passed a car on the right, lost control and then spun into the opposite lane causing the crash.
The driver of the car, Walter Crossman, of Wiscasset, died at the scene.
The sheriff's department said Jennifer Blackwell, of Brunswick, who was in the second car, suffered minor injuries.
A girl in the third car, from Boothbay, is in critical condition at Maine Medical Center.

- Dishes usually don't break when dropped during dish washing
- Due to relative weights, stainless steel is generally much easier (and less expensive) to install
- Nonporous; resists bacteria
- Neutral color fits into almost any décor - matches stainless steel appliances
- Extra Thick, 16 Gauge Stainless Steel: Short of paying thousands of dollars, 16 gauge is as thick as sinks come (22% thicker than 18 gauge; 36% thicker than 20 gauge). Thicker steel means a stronger sink (hence the lifetime warranty) while also offering a richer and more robust appearance to the finish that is easily discernible from the white-washed, cheap look of thinner sinks.
- Premium Grade T-304 Stainless Steel: There are two primary types of stainless steel in the market: T-409 and the higher quality T-304. The difference lies in chromium and nickel contents; T-409 with 11% and .5% respectively, T-304 with 18% and 10%. When added to steel, these two metals prevent oxidation and rust by neutralizing sodium chloride (salt) – a common element in everyday kitchens. While cheaper sinks use T-409, Kraus sinks boast T-304, further lending to the lifetime warranty.
- Sound Insulated: Sound insulated steel is commonly only thought of in the automobile industry. There, auto manufacturers use spray-on "Stone Guard" insulation to provide for a quieter ride and protect the steel. Borrowing this technology and adding to it, Kraus sinks use Stone Guard insulation, sprayed over rubber sound dampening pads to create a noticeably lower-tone and overall quieter kitchen sink. It also protects your cabinet from underside condensation drips.
- Included Dish Grid (Basin Rack) and Basket Strainer (Drain): It's a wonder why dish grids aren't included with all sinks; they serve a valuable role. Not only do they virtually eliminate scratches, they allow the sink to properly drain, preventing sink scum and protecting your cutlery. As with all Kraus sinks, this sink includes the stainless steel sink grid along with the stainless steel basket strainer you'll need for installation.
- Heavily Certified: Kraus has gone to great lengths to be able to provide you, the homeowner, the rest-easy satisfaction knowing that your sink is certified and listed by all the major product testing boards in the U.S. and Canada. This means that this sink is deemed safe to use and that it meets all applicable building codes. Certifications and listings include: UPC, cUPC, CSA, IAPMO, ANSI and SCC.
- This kitchen sink is available as a kitchen combo with a number of faucet choices. Like their sinks, Kraus kitchen faucets have gained tremendous momentum within the kitchen and bath industry and are highly regarded for their quality, durability, and meaningful innovation. If you are considering a purchase of this sink and also need a new faucet, we urge you to consider the kitchen combos; they truly are a deal.

An astronaut kicks a football on a level area of a planet. He
kicks the ball repeatedly at a wide range of angles from nearly
zero to almost 90 degrees above the horizontal, but always as hard
as he can which gives an initial velocity of 11 m/s. The astronaut
notices that the maximum distance the ball lands away from him is
23 m.
a) Calculate the accleration of gravity g on the planet. What is that value?
I know you use the formula acceleration = v02 sin 2θ / s but I can't seem to get the right answer.
b) What kicking angle above the horizon gave him the longest
range of 23 m?
c) How far away would the ball land if he kicked it at an angle of 65 degrees above the horizon.

What's going on at the Bausch & Lomb plant in Waterford is very disturbing, not least because the city in the southeast has never really recovered from the Waterford Glass closure in 2009. There's no other industry of any scale there, so the 1,100 jobs in the Bausch & Lomb eye health/contact lens plant under threat now are vital to Waterford.
Talks are going on this week to try to lessen the impact of what the company wants – the deadline is June 17 – and hopefully some compromise can be found. Those talks involve senior people from the Labour Relations Commission as well as the unions.
But there is a very serious issue at play here which has a much wider relevance than just the jobs at the Waterford plant. That issue is the post boom pay rate competitiveness of Irish industry, including in foreign companies here like Bausch & Lomb.
You are probably familiar with the story since it made headlines here. The company is threatening to close the plant unless they get agreement to a cost-cuttinig plan that calls for 200 redundancies and a 20 percent pay cut for the remaining staff.
Unusually for a situation like this, the message from the company was crystal clear and no attempt was made to sugarcoat the bitter medicine. Either accept or the entire plant shuts down and all 1,100 jobs are lost. That was it.
But it wasn't just the stark take-it-or-leave it message that was shocking. It was the reason tacked on to it from the company that made eye-opening news.
In their statement the company said it wanted to bring the cost base of the Waterford plant closer to the cost base in its big plant in Rochester, NY where similar work is done. Wage rates in Rochester are "more than 30 percent lower" than the rates in Waterford, the company said.
That was the real shocker. We are, of course, used to losing manufacturing jobs to Eastern Europe, or India or Vietnam or other developing countries where wage rates – and standards of living – are much lower. But this is different. This time we are losing jobs because pay rates are 30 percent higher than in Rochester, NY!
The reaction to this from the workers, trade union officials, local politicians and other leaders in Waterford was, understandably, a degree of embarrassment, followed by claims that the two situations could not be compared.
"It's not comparing like with like," one union official insisted on radio.
Some of the workers seemed mystified, claiming that by the time they have paid their mortgages and all their other bills and put food on the table they have nothing left. And now there is property tax and water charges are on the way.
To suggest they were being overpaid is nonsense, they said. Without batting an eyelid, one union official explained that the cost of living was much higher here, so it's not surprising that pay rates are higher than in Rochester.
And that is exactly the point. For those who have managed to hold on to their jobs in Ireland, wage rates have not fallen all that much from the heady days of the boom.
This is reinforced by what has happened to those on the state pay roll – medics, police, teachers, etc. – where pay cuts have been minimal. The same applies to lawyers and accountants and all the other professions and services.
And it's evident further down the chain. Despite the construction collapse, hiring a plumber here is still very expensive. For example, a plumber replacing the ballcock and other bits in a toilet cistern in my house last week charged me €110 for a job that took less than an hour.
This tendency to hang on to boom time pay rates is not surprising. It's only human nature, after all.
And as austerity has been applied here with state spending cuts, extra charges for services and tax hikes and levies, people naturally feel that they need the money. They don't feel they are overpaid. In fact many of them are struggling to make ends meet.
But of course the wider context is of little interest to a foreign company here. Why should they care about the tax hikes and all the extra charges that people here have to pay as the state tries to cut the budget deficit?
Why should Bausch & Lomb care if the cost of living here (everything from hiring a plumber to the cost of food and all the other stuff we need) means that we want high pay rates? That's not their concern. All they are interested in, like all companies, is their bottom line.
So how high are the pay rates in the Bausch & Lomb plant in Waterford? The Irish business organization body IBEC recently produced figures which show that the average basic pay rate in the Waterford plant is €29,000. That increases to average pay of €39,000 ($53,200) when shift premiums are factored in.
That does not seem like an excessive level of pay to us here, particularly after what we saw during the boom. But I'm not sure how it would seem to a worker at the plant in Rochester.

As I write this review, Saboteur's 'All-Time Sales Rank' sits at 3031st. And that just ain't right. And so, taking pleasure in being the first person to write a review for a game on this site, and hopefully introducing this cute little game to you, I invite you to read on.
Okay, Saboteur belongs in the class of games known as 'light card games'. I, for one, am not the biggest fan of this group (which includes brain-dead classics like Uno) but occasionally stumble across a real gem (a quality offering like Coloretto). Saboteur would lean toward the excellent side of this category. Light, easy to learn, quick turns, some interaction, a clever twist -- these are the qualities to look for in light games like this. Saboteur pretty much scores in every department.
The setting isn't novel: players are dwarves digging through the mines looking for gold. The twist is that there are Good Dwarves...and evil Saboteurs, who are bent on stopping the Good warves from doing their work! And the worst part is, no one is sure who is who! But I am getting a head of myself...
A 'start' card is set at one side of the table, and 3 'finish' cards are set at the other side. Players need to imagine a 9 x 5 grid of cards, with the start card at the center position of one side of the '5', and the 3 finish cards at the top, middle, and bottom spaces of the other side of the grid. Now one of those finish cards has GOLD! but the otehr two have near worthless coal. The catch is that those finish cards are face down: none of the players know which card is which. The Good Dwarves need to try and find the gold, of course, but the Saboteurs will try to stop them.
First each player is secretly dealt a Character card depicting either a Dwarf or a Saboteur. (The exact number of each changes with the number of players.) In this respect, Saboteur might very well be called BANG lite! (More on that comparison later.) No one has any idea who the other players are, and to complicate things more, players can not be 100% sure how many Saboteurs there are. Ie: in a 7 player game, there could be 3 Saboteurs, but there may only be 2! This creates some tension as Good Dwarves start smashing each other, suspecting the worst of one another!
Next, players are dealt a hand of cards (the number varies with the number of players) and begin the game. On your turn you may play ONE card (either to the board, onto a player, or into the discard pile) then draw one card back into your hand from the draw pile. Now most of the cards are 'path' cards (not unlike 'road' tiles in Carcassonne, and looking a lot like the Ravensburger game 'Labyrinth'). The start card has paths going in all 4 directions, and when a player plays a path card, he adds it so that the path he is adding extends a path that can be traced to the start card. The Good Dwarves need to try and get to the other side of the board quickly, and will almost immediately try for a straight line. Enter the Saboteurs. You see not all the path cards are good. Some are dead ends, others are 'T's that make a path more difficult to build on, etc. So the Saboteurs will create as many winding detours as possible. But that isn't all! There are also Special cards!
'Broken' cards depict one of the three tools the dwarves need (mine cart, latern, pick) in a damaged state; these can be played on any player and it prevents them from laying any path cards. 'Fix' cards depict the same tools, and can also be played on any player (including yourself), and 'fix' the tool of the hindered player so that the Broken card is removed. 'Map' cards allow the player to look at ONE of the Finish cards to see what it depicts. 'Cave-in' cards allow a player to remove ANY one path card from the table (so Good Dwarves can remove obstacles, and Saboteurs can remove vital connections from the paths.)
When (and IF) the Good Dwarves reach the finish card depicting Gold, the Good Dwarves win and each get Gold cards: the catch being that the more recently you have had a turn, the more Gold you get, creating some competition even amongst the Good Dwarves, as they all want to lay the last card, or be closer to that person! If they do not reach the Gold by the time the cards run out, the Saboteurs win and get a set amount of Gold.
So players are extending the paths through the mountain, casting suspicion on one another, trying to figure who's good and who is bad (Saboteurs need to be sneaky or they'll end up with a bunch of broken tools!), breaking each others tools, all in an effort to win.
The rules are straightforward, the gameplay is short (about 8 minutes a round), the hidden 'teams' is something I really like in a game, and the player range is 3-10 players! If this is sounding like BANG lite, I think that is a fair comparison to make. It's strips all the difficult and fiddly actions off of BANG, throws in a need path-building mechanic, and ends up being very light and a lot of fun. The game is VERY simple, but the wide player range and the nature of the teams, makes the game a good addition for families and non-gamers, and for game groups looking for large group filler. (Increasingly chaotic with more players, but not in a bad way -- or at least not in way that really violates the essence of the game.)
Saboteur won't win any MENSA awards (actually, some really brainless games HAVE won MENSA awards!) but is finds a happy medium as an accessible hidden teams game, and (at least for light card games) snappy, interesting, and unique gameplay. Buy a copy. This game is great for what it is, and judging by the reaction of my non-gamer friends, Saboteur is going to get a LOT of gameplay!

With the Start of the School Year, It's Time to Get Happy
When Gretchen Rubin published her first book, "The Happiness Project," in 2011, she was already pretty happy.
The book (also a website) is a guide to happiness in everyday life that combines philosophy, advice and personal history. It is a best-seller, has been translated into 35 languages and, on the day I spoke with her, had just hit #1 in Taiwan.
Her follow-up book, "Happier at Home," takes the same month-to-month approach to happiness.
"Just because you're pretty happy doesn't mean you can't think about being happier," she mused.
"Happier at Home" (in bookstores on September 4) begins in September ("September is the new January," she says), as the kids head off to school and the pace of life speeds up. Rubin details her school yearlong effort to clear clutter, be a more loving wife and mother, initiate uncomfortable conversations with her own parents (one of the oft-repeated insights of the book is: "Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy." )
She also devoted a month to time management, personal health, and to the neighborhood. "We think of home as being a place of leisure," she said. "But it's easy for that not to be the case. Home represents work of its own kind."
Below are edited excerpts from our conversation.
Why did you start by dealing with possessions?
I don't think possessions are the most important thing in happiness. Relationships are the most important thing. But possessions are the underbrush that I needed to quickly put out of my path. Stuff and clutter seems to matter to people's happiness. They make you feel weighed down. Also the more you know where something should go, the easier it is to get rid of things. If you have someone who always takes your hand-me-downs, for example, you'll get rid of it.
When you got to January, you turned your attention to time, and time management. You write that you wanted to "cultivate an atmosphere of unhurriedness" in your home, and you quote Thoreau: "I want a broad margin to my life." You describe how you tried to, among other things, "control the cubicle" in your pocket.
Technology is a good servant but a bad master. How you relate to technology is personality-driven, not work-driven. Some people check their BlackBerry all the time and seem to have trouble turning it off. I keep my phone on mute all the time. Also, it's very hard for me to stay calm when I'm thinking and being interrupted. So if I'm in family time, I don't try to read a book, because I'll be constantly interrupted and be really annoyed. So pick your activity.
Another resolution you describe is to 'suffer for 15 minutes.' What was the point of that?
One of my "secrets of adulthood" is that we procrastinate on our 'big life' and busy work takes the place of heavy lifting. Formatting [a document] isn't the same thing as writing. Busy work can be an excuse to procrastinate on other kinds of efforts, because we get rewarded for it an immediate way.
Do we need to get our families to go along with the project? Do we need their buy-in?
One of the sad facts of the happiness project is that the only person you can change is yourself. So with rare exceptions, everything that I do is something that I do myself. When I change, the atmosphere in my household changes.
I could envision myself becoming the "happiness nag" and it was very clear to me that that was not going to be more successful. When I was careful to get enough sleep and get up early so I had time for myself, and under-react and go for weekly adventures [two resolutions Rubin describes in her chapter on parenting], then my daughters behaved differently.
You say that you're not going for "balance" in your life. You're trying to "cram you life with the things you love." Why make the distinction?
I think the vocabulary really matters. People have a different vocabulary that they use when they're talking about their happiness. For me, balance is not a helpful metaphor because it implies that I have ample time to float through the day, with everything very calm. But it's not my reality. My reality is very busy and packed. When I think of my life crammed, I cram it with the people I want to see and the things I want to do. It also helps me recognize my priorities. I can't cram everything in. My experience is that some things have to fall away.

Pallavi goes childless in God Bharaai
"The show is still in the pre-production stage and thus nothing much has been decided. But the show is all about the difficulties a woman has to face when she is proved barren. The serial narrates the story of a childless woman who has to face the atrocities of society, it can be said that another social issue is being addressed."
"Shakti Anand and Mohit will be shown as childhood friends and Shakti will be paired with Pallavi. The show will highlight a yet untouched issue with Pallavi Subhash, Shakti and Mohit Malik playing pivotal role in the serial," signs off the source.
Well along with Colors and Zee TV, now Sony is also vying for TRPs by tagging along its bandwagon of socially conscious serial.

Architectural Discussions
By Acshorten-Oracle on Nov 13, 2008
At the moment I am in the middle of writing a guide to choosing the hardware architectures for our product line. One of the ideas I am playing with at the moment is boiling the factors that go into the decision into their raw levels.
A couple of years ago I attended some Project Management training and the discussion was around the "Project Management Triangle". A balanced plan requires that time, cost and quality are all in balance. If you "unblance" the triangle you can risk the project to be delayed, not meet the requirements or be cancelled altogether.
When deciding the factors for choosing architecture I came up with a similar concept. I call it the "Architectural Triangle". The dimensions in this triangle are availability, performance and maintainability. The diagram below shows both "triangles"
Availability is the measure of how available the system is against negotiated availability time (this includes Disaster Recovery). Performance is the measure of speed and some sense of size. Maintainability is the measure of skills, resources and costs associated with your site and the solution.
Just like the project management one, if you unbalance this one you can choose a hardware architecture that is really not suitable for your site.
The guidelines I am writing will take each of the basic variations of the architecture and outline the merits of each to assist customers and partners in making the right decision.

Malcolm Gladwell
The goal of storytelling should be to make stories as ubiquitous as music.
Malcolm Gladwell is a staff writer for The New Yorker. He is the author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, What the Dog Saw, and David and Goliath.
Why are you participating in the Cultivating Thought series?
I loved the idea of connecting to people in the real world. A story isn't something that has to appear in a book, or on a screen. The goal of storytelling should be to make stories as ubiquitous as music has become. I used to always love when the subway in New York would put poems in the subway cars. This struck me as a similar kind of experiment.
Tell us about your two-minute read.
My story is about my father joining an old-order Mennonite barn raising. I thought of it because my father just turned 80 and I've been reflecting on all the things about him that I love. The story is about one of those things: my father is someone who is magnificently unconcerned with people's social position or background.
Who inspires you? Who are your favorite authors?
I have so many favorites! But the writer who has taught me the most about writing nonfiction is Michael Lewis, the author of The Blind Side, Moneyball, and Liar's Poker, among many other wonderful books. I would happily trade my career for his. He is simply the greatest storyteller there is. His last book, The Big Short, was a page-turner about credit default swaps! Try pulling that off.
What's the best book you've read in the past year?
The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure. I stumbled across it by accident in an airport bookstore and absolutely loved it. It's an elegant, gripping story about a man learning how to be courageous. It is one of those rare novels that gives you a clear, beautiful insight into human psychology, as well as being wildly entertaining.

[REGARDING CATHOLIC CHURCH OFFICIALLY ASSISTING NAZIS IN TRACKING AND COLLECTING JEWS]Daniel Goldhagen
... Goldhagen also reminds us that not a single German Catholic was excommunicated before, during, or after the war, "after committing crimes as great as any in human history." This is really an extraordinary fact. Throughout this period, the church continued to excommunicate theologians and scholars in droves for holding unorthodox views and to proscribe books by the hundreds, and yet not a single perpetrator of genocide – of whom there were countless examples – succeeded in furrowing Pope Pius XII's censorious brow.
