Skip to comments.Noise keeps spooks out of the loop (Developer claims it's better than quantum cryptography)
Posted on 05/26/2007 6:26:09 PM PDT by LibWhacker
SPYING is big business, and avoiding being spied on an even bigger one. So imagine if someone came up with a simple, cheap way of encrypting messages that is almost impossible to hack into?
American computer engineer Laszlo Kish at Texas A&M University in College Station claims to have done just that. He says the thermal properties of a simple wire can be exploited to create a secure communications channel, one that outperforms quantum cryptography keys.
His cipher device, which he first proposed in 2005, exploits a property called thermal noise. Thermal noise is generated by the natural agitation of electrons within a conductor, which happens regardless of any voltage passed through it. But it does change depending on the conductor's resistance.
Kish and his collaborators at the University of Szeged in Hungary say this can be used to securely pass information, or an encryption key, down any wire, including a telephone line or network cable. In their device, both the sender Alice and the receiver Bob have an identical pair of resistors, one producing high resistance, the other low resistance. The higher the total resistance on the line, the greater the thermal noise.
Both Alice and Bob randomly choose which resistor to use. A quarter of the time they will both choose the high resistor, producing a lot of noise on the line, while a quarter of the time they will both choose the low resistor, producing little noise. If either detect a high or a low amount of noise in the line, they ignore any communication.
Half the time, however, they will choose differently, producing an intermediate level of thermal noise, and it is now that a message can be sent. If Bob turns on his high resistor, and records an intermediate level of noise, he instantly knows that Alice has chosen her low resistor, in essence sending a bit of information such as 1 or 0. Kish's cipher does this many times, sending a random series of 1s and 0s that can form the basis of an encryption key, the researchers say (http://www.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0612153).
That message is also secure. For a start, as Kish notes, it takes an "educated eavesdropper" to even realise information is being sent when there seems to be just low-level noise on the line. If they do try to eavesdrop, they can only tell a message is being sent, not what it is, because it's impossible to tell whether Alice has a high or low resistor turned on, and whether the bit of information is a 1 or a 0. What's more, eavesdropping on the line will naturally alter the level of thermal noise, so Alice and Bob will know that someone is listening in.
Kish and his team have now successfully built a device that can send a secure message down a wire 2000 kilometres long, much further than the best quantum key distribution (QKD) devices tried so far. Tests show a signal sent via Kish's device is received with 99.98 per cent accuracy, and that a maximum of just 0.19 per cent of the bits sent are vulnerable to eavesdropping. The error rate is down to the inherent resistance of the wire, and choosing a larger wire in future models should help reduce it further. "A secure message can be sent down a wire 2000 kilometres long"
However, this level of security already beats QKD. What's more, the system works with fixed lines, rather than the optical fibres used to carry photons of light at the heart of quantum encryption devices. It is also more robust, as QKD devices are vulnerable to corruption by dust, heat and vibration. It is also much cheaper. "I guess it's around a hundred dollars, at most," Kish says.
"This is a system that should be taken seriously," says security specialist Bruce Schneier, who founded network security firm BT Counterpane. He says he was seduced by the simplicity of the idea when it was first proposed by Kish, and now wants to see independent tests of the working model. "I desperately want someone to analyse it," he says. "Assuming it works, it's way better than quantum."
Z Group won't like this.

LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Amateurs. I just Planck my quantum foam through the pre-determined aperture and after delivery - it dissappears on its own. Nothing could be simpler. Hackproof.
The article doesn't mention if this will work over a routed network. If it does, once authentication is performed, it seems to me to be extremely secure.
I don't see how it would work over a router though if the packets are secured by noise.
This seems to have a fundamental problem to me. It seems to depend on two users sharing a common direct hardwired connection. That way they both see the same thermal noise on the line. But suppose each connects to the other through a series of intermediate stops, such as you see on the internet. Then you simply dont see the same line noise and this system would seem to fall apart. What am I missing?
I thought this was an article about housing discrimination in Chicago.
The pure randomness of electronic noise patterns would be orders of magnitude more difficult to crack than 128bit encryption is today. Check it out -- why don't we just encrypt all TCP/IP packets on all overseas routed fiber multiplexes - it would prevent terrorists in countries outside the encrypted networks from easily abusing the open internet to plan and execute attack missions.
Instead of transmitting anything, it sounds like he's exploiting a physical property of the line to communicate a passkey. (?)
Still, a signal is a signal. I could wave across the street to my neighbor while on the telephone, or tell him to dial the initial call that way. Nobody tapping our telephone line would hear us waving.
Very good post. I enjoyed that. thanks.
The National Security Agency loves it when "others" develop these unbreakable transmission methods. Sorta like warm caramel on top of really good vanilla ice cream, w/nuts.
Yeah, we probably have no chance of breaking into that in the next decade.
Not much.
YAWWWWWWN. FYI, this is not the first time a thing like this came up. I invented something kinda of this nature in early 1980s(!) but when I showed it to several big end users and hence potential customers they all agreed it was interesting and probably would work but so what. Nobody would buy it. Despite these many years of trying and failing to find someone who would put their money where their mouth was, if the cash was offered now I could still build the thing pretty fast and cheap. But I ain't holding my breath.
P.S. Could someone please post that "oh not this same old s**t again" picture.
Years ago I had essentially exactly this idea:
I couldn't think of a suitable way to commercialize it, but looking back, I think I should have pursued it anyway.
I mean, even if I never made a dime, working with the product testers would have been worth it...
They have this now. I saw it on FR. Ipod audio vibrator just like your post suggests.
But, but, but, it's just an orange.
Yeah? Taste it...
I don't get it. Help me out.
I don't get it. Help me out.
It starts with a guy who develops an orange flavored feminine hygiene spray...
Both Alice and Bob randomly choose which resistor to use. A quarter of the time they will both choose the high resistor, producing a lot of noise on the line, while a quarter of the time they will both choose the low resistor, producing little noise. If either detect a high or a low amount of noise in the line, they ignore any communication.
Bob and Alice each have two cans of spray....
Trajan88; TAMU Class of '88; Law Hall (may it R.I.P.) Ramp 9 Mule; f.u.p.!
It won't. It relies on hardwired connections.
It's not securing packets, it's securing the bits that make up the packets.
I thought this was an article about housing discrimination in Chicago.
Pure hilarity!
Alice wants to send Bob the following number: 666.
666 is 1001 1001 1001
At 10:00 AM Alice places a 1R resistor (High value) resistor on the line. Bob flips a coin and places a 1R on the line. Line reads high noise. Both Alice and Bob know that both bit were high. So does any casual listener. Everybody records a 1.
Alice steps to her next bit 0R Bob flips a coin and gets a 1R. The noise is at an intermediate level. Bob knows his was a 1R therefore he rights down a 0. A casual listener doesn't know either Bob's or Alice's resistor He can't determine the value of Alice's bit.
Alice steps to her next bit 0R Bob flips a coin and gets a 0R. The noise is at an low level. Everyone knows that was supposed to be a 0.
See table, Col 1, Alice's message, Col 2, Bob's guess, Col 3 line noise, Col 4, Bob's knows, Col 5, Casual listener knows:
1 1 1 1 1
0 1 ? 0 ?
0 0 0 0 0
1 0 ? 1 ?
1 1 1 1 1
0 1 ? 0 ?
0 1 ? 0 ?
1 0 ? 1 ?
1 0 ? 1 ?
0 1 ? 0 ?
0 0 0 0 0
1 0 ? 1 ?
So Bob sees:
1001 1001 1001 or 666
The casual listener sees:
1?0? 1??? ??0? or nada, as in nada thing...
On the average, the casual listener would lose 50% of the bits. In this example he lost 2/3 of the data. I did it table with literal con flips and that's what I got...
Ummm, I meant either 999 or 0110 0110 0110.
Just for phun and more coin flips...
0 0 0 0 0
1 0 ? 1 ?
1 0 ? 1 ?
0 1 ? 0 ?
0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
0 1 ? 0 ?
0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1
1 0 ? 1 ?
0 0 0 0 0
Bob gets;
0110 0110 0110 or 666.
Casual listener gets:
0??? 011? 01?0 or nothing again...
7/12ths garbage this time.
Of course, if Bob sends the same message to Carl, and Carl send the same message to David, and David sends it on to Edward, the casual listener will have a pretty good handle on exactly what was said.
HALF garbage this time.
That does it, I'm going to bed!
I demand a recount!
'nuff said. :)
Regarding "Man in the Middle"...
But, Kish/Mingesz/Gingl claim in their paper (http://www.arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0612/0612153.pdf) that the scheme is immune to Man in the Middle Attack - though, they also point out that they have not yet shown that experimentally due to the high cost of the equipment required.
Best that I can tell, the reason is that the electrical characteristics change if you tap into the line - if you intercept bits and retransmit, there is no way to get the noise levels close enough not to be detected.
I don't know enough about transmission lines etc to agree or not. I can see that something like that would probably introduce all sorts of usual reflections, change in VSWR and all that - but I especially am not sure what that would mean with, essentially, random high-frequency shot noise bouncing about.
Anyone have any ideas what they mean by the statement: "...because the KLJN can be installed as a computer card, similarly to Ethernet network cards..." I assume that they mean that an Ethernet card can be between the computer and the KLJN — i.e., they can implement the Ethernet protocol on their enciphered link - not that the enciphered link can communicate over a LAN...
Does that make sense??
In other words, "this tape will self destruct in five seconds..."
But will you know it if I type Ctrl-A?

Skip to comments.Gingrich rails against Obama at CA GOP conv - point-by-point attack on Obama's energy speech
Posted on 02/26/2012 5:40:16 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
...Although most of his address was a point-by-point attack on Obama's recent energy speech in Miami, Gingrich also took the president to task for his response to the inadvertent burning of Korans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
Two American military officers were killed in a heavily secured compound by an unknown assailant Saturday, during nearly a week of angry anti-American protests. On Thursday, Obama had personally apologized for the burning of the holy books.
"I find it very offensive as commander in chief that he is apologizing to the Afghans when in fact he should be demanding an apology from [Afghan President Hamid] Karzai," Gingrich said to much applause.
...Noting that Obama said there "are no silver bullets" for the high price of gasoline in America, Gingrich said "there is a pen. Big difference.
"A presidential pen could today sign approval of the Keystone pipeline," he said. "That's 700,000 barrels a day. A presidential pen could today sign approval to go back to the Gulf of Mexico. That's about 400,000 barrels a day. A presidential pen could today approve areas of Alaska that we know have oil."
In three signatures, Gingrich said, "you would have 2.3 million barrels a day additional energy in the United States. So I would say, we're not looking for silver bullets. We're looking for presidential leadership."
Although many in the audience were still undecided about their presidential choice, his talk of cheap gas resonated with Judy Thompson of Vacaville, a retired associate warden who worked for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.....
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Good speech. He didn't "rail". He didn't "thunder". He used facts a humor to take apart Obama's speech and his policies on energy.
Good point.
The MSM characterizes common sense conservatism as "railing" or "attacking" or "slamming" because they can't refute the truth.
Here's a link to video of the speech in California. (note, audio isn't very good)
There are answers to our energy p[roblems, but they are not to try to solve todays problems with an energy that MIGHT become useful in the future.
We are pouring millions into green energy while ignoring the present energy crisis.
All the better to continue the slide of the U.S. and her defenses. Newt lays it out clearly in his 30 minute video.
Thank you.
The high price of gas is the deliberate strategy of the left.
February 4, 2009, Obama Energy Secretary said, "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels of Europe." (9 or 10 dollars a gallon)
Theres one reason this (the Bakkan formation) was developed. It is on private land and the Obama Administration couldnt stop it.
The Obama U.S Attorney in North Dakota filed a lawsuit against the oil companies based on 8 migratory birds. There are 33,000 birds killed each year by wind turbines.
Obama systematically misleads the American people.
"The high price of gas is the deliberate strategy of the left."
Read my post:
A C-SPAN video will be up at 6PM EST today of Newt's speech at
Rock Springs Baptist Church in Milner, GA today.
A Summary of Obamas actions on energy policy since January 2009:
February 4, 2009 Just months after Obamas Energy Secretary said, Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe, the Regime begins scrapping leases for oil-shale development and cancels 77 leases for oil and gas production in Utah.
Gas is $1.91 a gallon.
March 7, 2009 ABC News says the White House is closely
monitoring the expedited Solyndra loan project even as it was delaying new American energy production that would help make us less dependent on foreign energy.
Gas is $1.94 a gallon.
June 27, 2009 - Obama urges the Senate to adopt House Democrats cap and trade national energy tax the same plan O once admitted would cause electricity rates to necessarily skyrocket.
Gas is $2.50 a gallon.
January 7, 2010 The Regime announces new bureaucratic hurdles to American energy production that Secretary Salazar admitted could add delays to the leasing and drilling process.
Gas is $2.67 a gallon.
March 31, 2010 Instead of opening new areas to energy exploration and development, Obama blocks deep-ocean energy production on 60% of Americas Outer Continental Shelf.
Gas is $2.80 a gallon.
December 1, 2010 Obama re-imposes and expands the moratorium on offshore energy production.
Gas is $2.86 a gallon.
January 2, 2011 TIME
reports that the Obama Regime issued the first in a series of regulations designed to unilaterally impose a national energy tax.
Gas is $3.05 a gallon.
May 5, 2011 The Regime issues a formal statement opposing House-passed Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act (H.R. 1230), and Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act (H.R. 1229) legislation designed to jumpstart American energy production, address rising gas prices, and help create new jobs.
Gas is $3.96 a gallon.
June 21, 2011 - The Regime opposes the House-passed Jobs & Energy Permitting Act that would unlock an estimated 27 billion barrels of oil and 132 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Gas is $3.65 a gallon.
November 8, 2011 The Regime releases a plan for a five-year moratorium on offshore energy production, placing some of the most promising energy resources in the world off-limits, according to the House Natural Resources Committee.
Gas is $3.42 a gallon.
January 18, 2012 Obama rejects the bipartisan Keystone XL pipeline and the more than 20,000 jobs that would come with it.
Gas is $3.39 a gallon.
February 24, 2012 Average price of gas: $3.64
The ONLY place the democrats want to drill is the wallets of the American people.
The U.S. is hemorrhaging and the GOP wants a Romney bandaid. It's unbelievable and we must stop this outrage.
Great post and comments.
Thank you.
We should all print that out and tape it on gas pumps all over America~!
"point-by-point attack" — note LAT bias.
How about "Newt refutes Obama's false statements" — but of course such title would never be published in the LAT.
Thanks for posting the article and link to Newt's speech.
yeah, but who wants to hear about boring old energy when we can have the Sweater Vest talking about contraception and important issues like that!!!!!!!!
I have a sheet of address labels in my truck. Each one says
fantastic speech...great...great...great...
Thanks for posting that info; I just shared it with some friends and a former coworker who, when I helped her move, had 3 0bam posters on a wall. I haven't given her or helped her with anything since, and grieve that she's deceived by this grifter.
Good idea! Gas is $5.79 at a couple places in Orlando.
I am not attending a high school reunion this weekend in the Orlando area because of the gas prices there. Absolutely insane.
Although I would have loved to put some stickers on gas pumps around there :)
It costs me $12 to go to my daughters.
Here's another link to the speech. This electad.com is a good site to watch. They're constantly putting up speeches, interviews and debates:
Newt not on the ballot?

Wedding Invitation Addressing Guide
Luckily though, there is a simple strategy for this seemingly complex task: Divide and Conquer. The key to addressing wedding invitations is to break each contact's information into manageable tasks, become familiar with how to handle each task, and then combine all the work you have done to complete the overridding goal.
The most effecient way to accomplish this is in these three steps:
First you determine the correct title (Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.) for each individual on your guest list. Next, you must select the proper type of guest(s) each invitation will hold (single guest, married couple, etc.). Then combine both the title and type information to complete both the inner and outer envelopes for the invitation.
While this guide breaks down and explains all the specifics of addressing wedding invitations, the BridalTrack Addressing Calculator will take your guest information and generate invitation envelopes for you. To use it, simply click on the link above, fill in the contact information of a guest, click a button and you will be shown properly addressed inner and outer envelopes for that guest.

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) offers several undergraduate courses for students interested in exploring art therapy as a future profession or considering how the approaches and philosophies of the field can inform their artistic development. While SAIC does not offer a formal undergraduate major in Art Therapy, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) students can combine practical SAIC Internships with psychology classes from the Liberal Arts department and studio coursework as a preparation for a graduate education in Art Therapy.
The profession of art therapy requires a master's degree. To learn about the SAIC Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling program, please download the Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling Program Guide [PDF] for detailed information. Undergraduate students interested in eventually applying to graduate art therapy programs in the United States should take the required pre-requisite minimums: 12 semester credits in psychology courses, including Abnormal Psychology and Developmental Psychology, and 18 semester credits in studio art courses. Undergraduate students interested in the principles and practices of art therapy are encouraged to enroll in:
ARTHER 1101 Explorations in Community-based Practice—This studio course explores expanded modes of practice for artists working with communities. Various approaches and strategies of engagement are explored. Off-campus experiential opportunities and service learning are key aspects of this course. Readings, guest lectures, and discussions are used to present various perspectives on art education, art therapy, artists-in-residencies, and other contexts in which artists engage communities.
ARTTHER 2010 The Creative Process as Art Therapy—This class explores and implements concepts from art therapy and related fields and presents a blend of approaches including Eastern traditions, Jungian psychology, and other sources. Studio work and writing are used as tools to understand and cultivate the discipline of self-awareness.
ARTTHER 3009 Introduction to Art Therapy—Open to students at junior level and above, this course offers a didactic and experiential overview of the history, theory, and practice of art therapy processes and approaches as well as a survey of populations, settings, and applications.
ARTTHER 3010 Video and the Human Experience—Art therapy considers many aspects of the interplay of art and the human experience: health, suffering, healing, and creativity. This course will entail the viewing and making of videos to investigate and critique these and related issues. Students will explore the documentary and educational potential of video, its use as a clinical tool, and its capacity as a medium for personal creative expression within the context of art therapy and beyond. Reading, discussion, audiovisual presentations, and digital video production constitute the structure of this class.
ARTTHER 3012 Ritual and Artmaking in Healing—This class explores the use of ritual and artmaking for personal and societal healing. Students reflect on ritual as part of daily life, cultural rituals, and life-cycle rituals and examine the process by which art embodies, represents, and transforms rituals. The exploration of artmaking and healing rituals in a sampling of cultures, both ancient and contemporary, provides a context for class discussion, group projects, and personal art practice. The role that ritual and artmaking play in encouraging personal healing and promoting social cohesion is discussed and explored.
ARTTHER 3020 Expressive Arts in Therapy—This course will explore the relevance of imagery, creative writing, storytelling, nature, drama, music, and dance as communication and change agents for diverse lives and contemporary communities. Students will work in small group to research artists and creative works that embody substantiality, foster growth or healing, and articulate the power of imagination using an expressive therapies model. Engaging in a Personal Geography project students will discuss the use of creative expression, processing, and product in a multicultural context. (3 credits)
ARTTHER/PERF 3034 Disparate Bodies—This studio seminar focuses on how performance processes can facilitate social changed in the community. Students examine various forms of performative activism and intergroup dialogue as a means to address issues of privilege, social identity and structures of power. A key aspect of the course will take place in an off campus community setting. The course will present various perspectives that can benefit artists, educators, art therapists and community workers to engage communities and increase awareness. (3 credits)

Representative stands by votes
Published: Monday, August 13, 2012 at 2:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 13, 2012 at 2:08 p.m.
In an article in the newspaper titled, "Why Not Try Something Else," dated July 12, Mike Gorman made a case for why the Legislature voted to make drastic reforms to education in this state.
My reasons for voting against the reform bills that were ramrodded down the Legislature's throats were because the bills were too broad and there were too many questions the administration didn't answer.
The biggest question mark to me was the lack of accountability.
Here we are, in the first week of the new school year, and the confusion in the bills still exists. There are still many questions unanswered.
Then in last week's newspaper, the editorial titled, "Let the public decide," I read that state Superintendent John White and his Department of Education officials are not coming clean with many questions.
The bills were always too broad, and no one knew exactly what problems they would encounter as the school year drew closer.
It's too late to call the superintendent back to the table in our committee.
I'm hoping the problems can be worked out, but I could not support the changes simply for change.
I stand by my votes.

Hi all
Is it possible to reorder pages across the top of my WordPress?
http://step.blog.usf.edu/ Here, I have added the page "Calculus Techniques" but I would greatly prefer that it be the last page, and it's defaulted to the first spot.
Also, with the number of pages I am running, they are overlapping the search bar at the top. Is there a way to change how large the page tabs are? If not, can I move (not remove) the search bar?

What Is Kabbalah?
Celebrities Flock to a Once Obscure Branch of Jewish Mysticism. So Just What Are Madonna and Demi Up To?
What is Kabbalah?
Hebrew for "received tradition," Kabbalah (Ka-ba-LAH) refers to the study of ancient texts, most notably the Zohar, a 13th-century commentary on the Torah (the five books of Moses). Kabbalah holds that God is made up of 10 "emanations," which include compassion, strength, wisdom and grace. By studying them, humans can get closer to an unknowable God.
What role does Kabbalah play in Judaism?
Mainstream Judaism studies the writings of the Torah; Kabbalah looks for more meaning in the written words.
How does it do that?
Some tools include studying the Zohar and, for some scholars, numerology. For instance, the letters in ha-Teva, Hebrew for "nature," have the same numeric value as the letters of Elohim, one of the names of God, "leading many Kabbalists to claim the divine presence was to be found in the natural world," says Eitan P. Fishbane, a professor of Jewish religious thought at L.A.'s Hebrew Union College.
Can anyone study it?
Depends who you ask. Originally "elitist and secretive," says Fishbane, Kabbalah is considered by some Jewish leaders to be the purview of men over 40 who have studied the Torah for years. But today many religious centers and universities offer beginners a more accessible version. One of the best known: the Kabbalah Centre, which claims 400,000 students—including Madonna, Demi Moore and other stars—in 50 locations.
What's the appeal for celebs?
"I've learned from studying Kabbalah that if your happiness is based on people approving of everything you do, you're doomed to fail," says Madonna. Because Kabbalah also emphasizes God's female aspects, it is a draw for "feminist thinkers," notes Fishbane.
What do others think of the celebrity devotees?
Many theologians frown on those who look to Kabbalah for a quick spiritual high. The Kabbalah Centre has drawn particular criticism. "It's a very slick operation that has very little to do with traditional Kabbalah," says bestselling author and Kabbalah scholar Rabbi Lawrence Kushner. "They are to Kabbalah what Disneyland is to the Metropolitan Opera: There's a lot of hoopla and fun, but there ain't much opera."

CONTESTING THE VOTE; Text of Supreme Court Ruling on Bush v. Gore Florida Recount Case
Published: December 13, 2000
(Page 15 of 17)
But, in any event, the concurrence, having conducted its review, now reaches the wrong conclusion. It says that ''the Florida Supreme Court's interpretation of the Florida election laws impermissibly distorted them beyond what a fair reading required, in violation of Article II.'' But what precisely is the distortion? Apparently, it has three elements. First, the Florida court, in its earlier opinion, changed the election certification date from Nov. 14 to Nov. 26. Second, the Florida court ordered a manual recount of ''undercounted'' ballots that could not have been fully completed by the Dec. 12 ''safe harbor'' deadline.
Third, the Florida court, in the opinion now under review, failed to give adequate deference to the determinations of canvassing boards and the Secretary. To characterize the first element as a ''distortion,'' however, requires the concurrence to second-guess the way in which the state court resolved a plain conflict in the language of different statutes. In any event, that issue no longer has any practical importance and cannot justify the reversal of the different Florida court decision before us now.
To characterize the second element as a ''distortion'' requires the concurrence to overlook the fact that the inability of the Florida courts to conduct the recount on time is, in significant part, a problem of the court' s own making. The Florida Supreme Court thought that the recount could be completed on time, and, within hours, the Florida Circuit Court was moving in an orderly fashion to meet the deadline. This court improvidently entered a stay. As a result, we will never know whether the recount could have been completed.
Nor can one characterize the third element as ''impermissible distorting'' once one understands that there are two sides to the opinion' s argument that the Florida Supreme Court ''virtually eliminated the secretary's discretion.''
The Florida statute in question was amended in 1999 to provide that the ''grounds for contesting an election'' include the ''rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to . . . place in doubt the result of the election.'' And the parties have argued about the proper meaning of the statute's term ''legal vote.'' The secretary has claimed that a ''legal vote'' is a vote ''properly executed in accordance with the instructions provided to all registered voters.'' On that interpretation, punch-card ballots for which the machines cannot register a vote are not ''legal'' votes. The Florida Supreme Court did not accept her definition. But it had a reason. Its reason was that a different provision of Florida election laws (a provision that addresses damaged or defective ballots) says that no vote shall be disregarded ''if there is a clear indication of the intent of the voter as determined by the canvassing board'' (adding that ballots should not be counted ''if it is impossible to determine the elector's choice''). Given this statutory language, certain roughly analogous judicial precedent, e.g., Darby v. State ex rel. McCollough, and somewhat similar determinations by courts throughout the nation, the Florida Supreme Court concluded that the term ''legal vote'' means a vote recorded on a ballot that clearly reflects what the voter intended. That conclusion differs from the conclusion of the secretary. But nothing in Florida law requires the Florida Supreme Court to accept as determinative the secretary's view on such a matter. Nor can one say that the court's ultimate determination is so unreasonable as to amount to a constitutionally ''impermissible distortion'' of Florida law. The Florida Supreme Court, applying this definition, decided, on the basis of the record, that respondents had shown that the ballots undercounted by the voting machines contained enough ''legal votes'' to place ''the results'' of the election ''in doubt.'' Since only a few hundred votes separated the candidates, and since the ''undercounted'' ballots numbered tens of thousands, it is difficult to see how anyone could find this conclusion unreasonable -- however strict the standard used to measure the voter's ''clear intent.'' Nor did this conclusion ''strip'' canvassing boards of their discretion. The boards retain their traditional discretionary authority during the protest period. And during the contest period, as the court stated, ''the Canvassing Board's actions during the protest period may constitute evidence that a ballot does or does not qualify as a legal vote.'' Whether a local county canvassing board's discretionary judgment during the protest period not to conduct a manual recount will be set aside during a contest period depends upon whether a candidate provides additional evidence that the rejected votes contain enough ''legal votes'' to place the outcome of the race in doubt. To limit the local canvassing board's discretion in this way is not to eliminate that discretion.
At the least, one could reasonably so believe. The statute goes on to provide the Florida circuit judge with authority to ''fashion such orders as he or she deems necessary to ensure that each allegation . . . is investigated, examined, or checked, . . . and to provide any relief appropriate.'' The Florida Supreme Court did just that. One might reasonably disagree with the Florida Supreme Court's interpretation of these, or other, words in the statute. But I do not see how one could call its plain language interpretation of a 1999 statutory change so misguided as no longer to qualify as judicial interpretation or as a usurpation of the authority of the State legislature. Indeed, other state courts have interpreted roughly similar state statutes in similar ways..
I repeat, where is the ''impermissible'' distortion?

The economic crisis has prompted intense and sustained action by the EU's national governments, the European Central Bank and the Commission. All have been working closely together to support growth and employment, ensure financial stability, and put in place a better governance system for the future.
"To protect our interest, to defend our values in the world of globalisation, to speak with one voice with our American friends or with China and Russia, we need a stronger European Union, and this stronger European Union is the way to reinforce also our countries"
The EFSF must immediately be made both stronger and more flexible. This is what the Commission proposed already in January. This is what Heads of State and Government of the euro area agreed upon on 21 July. Only then, when you ratify this, will the EFSF be able to deploy precautionary intervention; intervene to support the recapitalisation of banks; and intervene in the secondary markets to help avoid contagion.
The finance ministers of all the member states reached agreement on a package of six legislative acts (the "six-pack") to strengthen economic governance in the European Union, and more specifically in the eurozone.
The following FAQ provides answers to some of the most common questions as a result of the deal.
The European Union today placed a €4 billion bond with 15 years maturity under the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM).
In September 2010 the Commission presented six legislative proposals on economic governance (the so-called Six-Pack).
Horst Reichenbach, Head of the Task Force (TF) of the European Commission in charge of providing technical assistance to Greece held a press conference on 15 September to report on his first round of meetings with the Greek authorities during his first visit. With the aim to identify all possible ways of cooperation, Mr Reichenback stressed that the TF will help to implement Greece's reform programme and to better absorb financial means coming from EU structural funds. Located both in Brussels and in Athens, the TF would also channel the large good will of other EU Member States.
"Today, an agreement has been finalised which, pending formal endorsement by the European Parliament and the Council in the coming weeks, will allow this package to enter into force. This is excellent news for Europe"
The European Commission welcomed the new measures announced on 7 September by the Italian Government. They confirm the determination of the Italian authorities to meet the agreed targets of deficit and debt reduction, while contributing to tackle the deep rooted structural weaknesses of the Italian economy. The decision on retirement age is also an important signal. The confirmation of the decision to introduce in the Constitution the principle of a balanced budget and the abolition of provinces are decisive improvements in the institutional framework of Italy, and contribute to ensure budgetary discipline on a permanent basis. The In conclusion, the Commission called on swift adoption of the adjustment package in a spirit of national cohesion and solidarity.
The mission chiefs of the European Commission, the IMF and the ECB today held a conference call with the Greek Minister of Finance. Good progress was made, and technical discussions will continue in Athens over the coming days.
The forecast, which contains updated projections for GDP growth and inflation for the seven largest EU Member States, the euro area and the EU, sees the recovery stalling amid the continuing financial market crisis
The new bond is the second with a 10 years maturity placed by the EU under the EFSM so far. The €5 billion benchmark matures on 21 September 2021, pays a coupon of 2.75% and was priced at mid-swaps +20 basis points.
Mr Barroso said that Europe is facing the most serious challenge of a generation.
Our discussion focused especially on the budgetary measures approved by the Italian Senate last week and now being debated in the Chamber of Deputies, which are of fundamental importance for ensuring confidence in Italy and the euro area.

Look at all those beautiful frills! Fantastic work. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi, did you use gumpaste to make the frills? I am considering trying gum paste instead of fondant to assure more reliable structure to the final product since the cake might need to wait for two days after it's done. Thanks for the info and congratulations on the fantastic work!

You could try buying some books about the dentist. Ones that shoe little germs on the teeth and how the dentist gets rid of them. DD has a few of these books and loves them. Now, of course, she constantly checks my teeth for germs, when she sees my fillings, she tells me to brush my teeth. You could also wrap up a special present, wrap it up and say that if he lets dentist look at his teeth, he gets a special treat. I had extremely bad experiences at the dentist as a child and remained terrified till I found my new dentist where I live now. Now I go every six months. So happy, i started with DD at an early age. Good luck, hopefully the next time will be better. Also try talking about it more. Go over all the details, that's why a book helps, it shows exam room, the little dental tools, ect.

LO sat on my lap facing me while I was in the chair getting a cleaning when she was about 2, gave her a chance to see what it was all about, she was stoked as she got to hold her own set of tools and poke around with a giant pair of fake teeth copying what the Dentist was doing to me. She opened up nice and wide and waited while he checked her out. She goes back for her first cleaning in a few months.

"40"L with 2 grunt squeakers fuzzy bone"
My dog enjoys playing with the 40" fuzzy bone. He likes to poke at the 2 grunt squeakers and to pick up the bone and swing it from side to side.
"dogs love it!"
my two golden retrievers love these! although they try to remove the squeakers, they hold up quite well! Nothing better than to see my dogs welcome me home with this big dog bone in their mouth, tails wagging like crazy!
"Can't live without it"
My German Shepard puppy LOVES this bone! He tosses it around daily and rough houses with it. If he has to spend the night somewhere this goes with him! Great and durable toy!!
MY LABRADOR MIX LOVES THESE FUZZY BONES! SHE ACTS LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY AND CARRIES THIS BONE AROUND THE HOUSE LIKE A BABY WITH A BLANKET. IT IS SO CUTE. They are pretty durable but like any plush toy they do tear and stuffing gets everywhere. But at a price like this, who cares! These are amazing!
"great pillow for a large or small dog!"
my dog uses it as a pillow on her bed under my desk because otherwise her head would be up against the hard side of the desk! ... she doesnt even really care about the squeakers and hasnt played with it much but she seems confused it i take it to wash it and its not in her bed lol
"Can't Sleep Without It"
My standard poodle loves these! He literally takes them to bed with him each night & uses it as a pillow/teddy bear. They are by no means a chew toy - he can chew the edges up in short order, but they are quick to stitch back together & are washable! Finn gives it 4 paws up - if you can get it away from him.

San Francisco's secret electric power grid
"While DC continues to race through San Francisco power lines at nearly the speed of light, it does so anonymously. You'll find no reference to DC power distribution in PG&E's annual reports or on its websites. Even some utility engineers are unaware of its existence, which raises a curious question: Why is the inheritor of this legacy, the mighty and sophisticated PG&E, still bothering with DC distribution 133 years later?"

We've been running a multi-subdirectory WordPress install for a year now, with no problems up until this morning. Out of the blue, instead of pages loading in a few seconds, suddenly pages are taking 60-240 seconds to load. We've made no changes to the server configuration within the last few weeks.. no new plugins or themes.. and the problem is WordPress-server-wide, affecting all blogs, themes, plugins, etc. It is not, however, affecting any of the other PHP + MySQL database applications running on the same server. Those are still serving pages and querying the MySQL database at full speeds.
I've been trying to troubleshoot this inexplicable behavior for hours now, with no success. Here's what I've tried so far:
Restarting both the web server and MySQL server
Updating the MySQL server
Running MySQL repair checks on all WordPress database tables
Reinstalling WordPress 3.2.1
Disabling all WordPress plugins
Running the WordPress Network Update (this took 2 hours to complete, for reference of how bad the problem is)
For an example of the current problem, try this link:
Note: while that blog is typical of what we host, the same 60+ second load delay is present even with brand-new blogs with no content, the default 2010 theme, and zero plugins.
Can anyone suggest anything else to try?

I never received that email, so I filled out a support form. They responded through email with 2 links, the first showing that they haven't received my information from the sponsors yet, the other with the redemption voucher to print and mail. I printed the voucher and mailed it in early September. The site shows that it should be delivered no longer than 6 weeks, and most are shipped in 3 to 4 weeks.
I've received nothing, and no correspondance at all. I clicked the link again last night and now the redemption voucher is showing a different PO Box and zipcode. I really would like to shut this company down by reporting them to the authorities, and the sponsors who are paying them for sign ups. They're receiving money from the sponsors for every offer that's completed and not delivering the product that people are signing up for.
If you've been ripped off by them please email me, and maybe collectively we can do something.

WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum said Sunday that he feels no pressure to quit the GOP presidential race so conservatives can coalesce around Newt Gingrich.
"Our feeling is that this is a three-person race," Santorum said on CNN's State of the Union, a day after finishing third in South Carolina.
But he will have to spend time away from Florida this week to restock his campaign account. He's making stops in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri.
Romney rips into Occupy protesters
ORMOND BEACH, Fla. — Mitt Romney was interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters chanting "We are the people" Sunday at a campaign rally at a building supply company.
"No actually, these are the people," Romney shouted back to the protesters. "You're the interrupters. … We believe in the right to speech. And you believe in interrupting. Take a hike."
Romney's supporters drowned them out by chanting "U-S-A," and he said the protesters were attacking "free enterprise."
Bachmann: Election will end abortion
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Rep. Michele Bachmann predicted Sunday that the November elections will end abortion as she made her first public appearance in Minnesota since dropping out of the presidential race.
Bachmann spoke to hundreds of people to mark the 39th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.

Ok. This is what I do to make the xbx and put it into the xbe...
* Save in photoshop as a DDS with the nvidia dds plugin v8.23 as 188.8.131.52 ARGB Unsigned or similar.
* Convert it to xbx using Fast_xbx2dds2img.exe
* I add it in the xbox project and compile it in visual studio into the xbe.
Its all fine except for a damn section of corrupt bits that keep occuring in the bottom right (See image)
Ive tried other dds formats, but I need to use one that accepts transpancies and not at a low colour depth. It doesnt appear on the dds file, so seems fast_xbx2dds2img is messing it. I cant convert the xbx back to an image to check, it outputs a garbled image.
What does everone else use to get xbx files with transparencies?

Just tried XBXCreator v1.0b. Converted a png file, but the corrupt section like from fast_xbx2dds2img is still there.
Could be the bundler.exe. Ive no idea how to fix the codes source tho.

Named for the founder of our club and AEC's first president, the Atlanta Economics Club presents the Joseph K. Heyman scholarship to an outstanding student in economics. This scholarship is open to any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled at a metropolitan Atlanta college or university. We are now accepting applications for the 2015-2016 Scholarship!
2014–2015 Recipient
This year's winner is Jessica Mitchell, pursuing a Bachelor's of Science degree in Economics. As a current junior of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Ms. Mitchell has woven herself into the fabric of university life as a co-captain of the Georgia State University's Pantherette Dance Team and Georgia State University's BCM (Baptist Christian Ministries). As a student in the Georgia State University Honors College, Jessica Mitchell currently holds a 3.62 GPA. Jessica chose the discipline of economics to study to implement financial change within lower class communities and begin programs to increase adolescent graduation rates as well as financial literacy amongst recently incarcerated juveniles.
"The AEC scholarship has personally helped me in more ways than one. Not only did it fund me to go on my last study abroad experience of college to South Africa to study Economic Development, but it also gave me access to wonderful mentors. AEC is more than a club of successful economists, it's a place where I began to really define what an economist is and what I want my area of focus to be in the long run. Not to mention, through this club and because of the scholarship, I not only walked away with a funding to go abroad, but I recieved the best advice from the brightest economists in Metro Atlanta, who I now consider to be wonderful friends. And through our ongoing relationship, other opportunities have opened up for me that I know would never happened had it not been for AEC."
Jessica Mitchell
2013–2014 Recipient
Last year's winner was Runjing Lu, a senior double majoring in Economics and Mathematics at Emory University. She has been very active in research while at Emory. She won the 2013 Undergraduate Data Palooza research competition for her analysis of US AIDS data and has presented another paper at the IJAS conference at Harvard. Last summer she also worked as an trading intern in the global market department at HBSC Shanghai Headquarters in China. Runjing has a 4.0 GPA and is a student in Emory's Honor's Program. She plans to pursue her Ph.D. in finance or financial economics after she graduates this spring.
Runner-up for the scholarship was Denzel Caldwell, a senior majoring in Economics and minoring in African American studies at Morehouse College. Denzel has a strong interest in economics research. Last summer Denzel worked as an intern with the University of Michigan's Inter-University Consortium of Political and Social Research where he had the opportunity to do independent research and develop his data processing skills. In 2013 he began working on a research project with one of his professors at Morehouse. Denzel has a 3.46 GPA and plans to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics after he graduates this spring.

Exploit scanner plugin shows eval and base64_decode codes after 3.4.2 installation which I removed later on:
I just wanted to know if it is a possible security issue!
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Exploit scanner plugin shows eval and base64_decode codes after 3.4.2 installation which I removed later on:
I just wanted to know if it is a possible security issue!
Please go through these and follow the instructions:
It definitely sounds like you were hacked.
Manually editing the infected php scripts several times on my site resulted in them being re-infected within 30 minutes.
I recommend taking full database backups, as well as taking screen shots and making lists of your plugins etc.
Try exporting the posts/pages etc as well - you might need multiple forms of backup to restore.
Be sure to disable all users as well, except Admin, so nobody else can log in.
When you have saved everything, take your site(s) offline, clean up the database (there are posts on how to do this - sorry I don't have them handy), and try a fresh install from scratch.
Change your passwords too!!!
Good Luck.
@poddys what I found is, those codes are in the default installation files of WordPress 3.4.2.
Just download WordPress and check in those files, you will find eval and base64_decode codes..
Just download WordPress and check in those files, you will find eval and base64_decode codes..
Did you confirm that the codes are harmful? Sorry, I have not gone through version 3.4.2 and hence cannot give you any opinion on it.
BTW, can you tell us the file/ folder where you found the codes which you found as harmful?
@Krishna it is already been proved that eval and base64_decode are in use to hack WordPress. May be you don't know that...
Besides, Check the files and folders on the screenshot link on my first post.
If you like, install Exploit scanner plugin to confirm.
had similar issue after updating WordPress 3 days ago have found all index.php files infected with base64_decode, even the two themes supplied with WP where affected. Have had to delete each index.php file in the wordpress core plus all themes. Sites hosted on mediatemple, Also noticed each infected site had a file in the root with list of IP address. file name: 9fec9686a688eb028f2ca1506bc4b9ac
Would welcome any ideas what this exploit is and how best to deal with it.
So far have replaced all instances of index.php plus deleting the above file from the root dir.
It's a standard reply, but the reading material is still the same. Krishna provided the one link, here's the rest.
You need to start working your way through these resources:
