password cracking
The process of attempting to guess or crack passwords to gain access to a computer system or network. Crackers will generally use a variety of tools, scripts, or software to crack a system password. The goal of the cracker is to ideally obtain the password for root (UNIX) or system and administrator (Windows, NT). Password cracks work by comparing every encrypted dictionary word against the entries in system password file until a match is found.

Islanders build houses in Mexico: Presbyterian church program builds about 140 houses in 14 years
Now in its 14th year of sponsoring house-building trips in Mexico, Mercer Island Presbyterian Church has built approximately 140 houses for needy families in Tijuana. Ten of those houses were built from the ground up during spring break by a MIPC group of 95 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, along with 39 college and adult volunteers.
The MIPC group, as well as volunteer groups from University Presbyterian Church in Seattle and two other Presbyterian churches from California, stayed the week at Casa Hogar de los Ninos, an orphanage near the city of Tijuana. Founded 25 years ago, the orphanage houses more than 75 children of all ages and has welcomed volunteer groups like MIPC's for years.
In "the annex" — a section of the orphanage that MIPC purchased to ensure that groups could be hosted year-round with as little impact as possible on the orphanage — students and leaders ate, talked, sang and worshipped together every day before and after working at their respective building sites.
Each with matching colored bandanas and team names such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Flava' Flav, the Black Banos, Hunka' Burnin' Love, and Teal-ijuana, the 10 MIPC work teams first arrived at their work sites, met the families the homes were for and began work on the morning of Easter Sunday.
Teams leveled each site, mixed the cement foundations, constructed every wall, set windows and doors and roofed the houses all by hand. Each group finished its 12-foot-by-24-foot house on the following Thursday or Friday with a coat or two of bright paint — brilliant blue, orange, yellow or green. The homes stood out so much among surrounding shelters and houses that, looking out at the hills from the orphanage, one can pick out dozens of MIPC-built houses simply by their vivid colors.
The families that received houses this year were selected by a small committee of people who work and/or reside at the orphanage year-round in communication with Homes Without Boundaries, a nonprofit organization co-founded by MIPC to oversee the over 35 ministry groups that do similar house-building projects. While no financial payment is expected from the recipients, each family is required to contribute an agreed-upon number of volunteer hours to the Casa Hogar de los Ninos Orphanage.
The language barrier mattered little as MIPC students and leaders formed bonds with the Mexican families and even worked side by side with them on the houses. The 10 families each had different — and devastating — stories. One team built for a family that had lost their hillside house is a fire that had damaged or destroyed many of the surrounding houses as well. Another house was built for a couple who have one child and are expecting another in June — their baby will be born in the house that MIPC built. Yet another team built a home for a grandmother caring for her three young grandsons, whose mother died from wounds suffered in a domestic dispute.
As students and leaders got to know their families better and better, they returned to the orphanage every day with new stories from their sites that went far beyond just the process of building the house. Teams spent their lunch and water breaks playing soccer, catch, tag or hide-and-seek with the children at their site, or having broken-Spanish conversations with their families about what life is like in Tijuana. One team even used scrap wood to make an impromptu house for their family's dog.
Throughout the week, students were at once shocked by the poverty in Tijuana and touched by the kindness and gratitude of the families who live in it every day.
"They're really friendly even though they have almost nothing, and so much more generous than people here [on Mercer Island]," remarked Mercer Island High School sophomore Colin Ramsay.
At the end of the week, after completing the houses and presenting the keys to their new owners, the teams said goodbye to their families and left Tijuana to go to La Jolla, Calif., for the night.
"After we crossed the border, I realized the differences between the poverty [in Tijuana] and immense wealth [in La Jolla] that were only 30 minutes apart. It was crazy," said MIHS sophomore Kara Lungmus.
This point of poverty's proximity to wealth is one that MIPC associate pastor to students and their families and the Mexico trip's lead director, Paul Barrett hoped the students would understand throughout the course of the week.
"We experience a fullness and different pace of life and routines, individually and as a community, in the midst of glaring poverty. … My personal hope is that we would all experience something that shifts the lenses through which we view our everyday, ordinary lives right here on Mercer Island, and that [the students would understand that] the same type of service and extension of ourselves is needed the other 51 weeks of the year," said Barrett.
The experience of seeing what life is like in Tijuana's completely different environment as a community of 134 volunteers was a powerful one. When asked what makes him want to go back to Tijuana next year, MIHS junior Sam Shoenecker said, "It's definitely the community — you're surrounded by friends." The trip's theme, which was screened on the slate blue program t-shirts that every volunteer received and wore throughout the week, says it all — "(Be)loved."
Overall, said Barrett, "It's always significant to see different generations coming together in mission and service on behalf of others."
Mikaila Gawryn, a student at Seattle University who participated in the trip during her high school years and returned this year as a leader, echoed Barrett's sentiment: "Many of the leaders were previous students of the program at one time or another. I think that really proves how valuable the experience is, that people want to come back and give all over again."
This act of coming back year after year and giving all over again has given hundreds of what Mother Teresa described as "the world's most destitute" families shelter, safety, and homes. In fact, in 2006, Homes Without Boundaries completed its 1,000th house in Tijuana.
Here's to the next 1,000.

Pirfenidone for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (CAPACITY trials, Lancet)
Noble et al report results of two Phase III placebo-controlled trials in N. America and Europe, with 779 patients total. In one trial, pirfenidone reduced FVC decline by ~4% at 72 weeks; in the other, it did not; pooling all the data, pirfenidone reduced FVC decline by 2.5% compared to placebo. There were abundant mild side effects in the treated arms (GI, photosensitivity and rash). Authors conclude the drug is "an appropriate treatment option" in IPF patients, but the FDA disagreed. (n=779) Lancet 2011;377:1760-1769.
In an earlier trial in Japan of 275 patients with IPF, pirfenidone reduced FVC decline by 70 mL and improved progression-free survival, resulting in its approval there. The FDA has indicated it will not approve pirfenidone for U.S. use without another clinical trial. InterMune, pirfenidone's manufacturer, launched the phase 3 ASCEND trial in mid-2011 in response.

Last gasps from InterMune.
I have used Pirfenidone on my patients with IPF with symptomatic benefit along with FVC and 6-MWD improvement. It seems to be a reasonable option in disease with limited treatment options!

In 1996 in Los Angeles.
Signature style: Hip-hop based around crackling rare grooves repurposed for rappers less willfully eccentric than just supremely, transcendently high.
For fans of: DJ Premier, RZA, scratched jazz records, warped soul 45s, obscure '70s funk albums dug out of a crate at a swap meet, the surreal hip-hop.
Key releases: Quasimoto, The Unseen (2000); Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf, Big Shots (2003); Madvillain, Madvillainy (2004); J Dilla, Donuts (2006); Dam-Funk, Toeachizown (2009); Aloe Blacc, Good Things (2010).
Why you care: Unlike a lot of indie-rap imprints, for which staying true to "real hip-hop" often means getting stuck on a treadmill of traditionalism, for Stones Throw, the past has always acted as a wormhole toward a wigged-out future. Founded by producer Chris "Peanut Butter Wolf" Manak and made famous by hyperprolific, extra-blunted beat junkies like Madlib and the late, great J Dilla, the label is rooted in rap's foundational elements—sample-driven production, straight-spitting lyricism—but dedicated to stretching and bending them at angles bizarre enough to keep listeners on edge and off-balance. Lately, though, Stones Throw's focus has drifted toward those artists making the breakbeats of tomorrow. The neo-R&B end of its roster is showcased on this current tour, which features the vocal duo Myron and E, psychedelic soulquarians the Stepkids, and modern boogie-funk master Damon "Dam-Funk" Riddick, who leaves his keytar at home and headlines with a DJ set. While that would normally seem like a consolation, considering how the dude's record collection probably runs deep enough to form the basis of a year's worth of Stones Throw releases, that could hardly be called disappointing.
SEE IT: The Stones Throw Soul Tour, featuring Dam-Funk, the Stepkids, and Myron and E, is at Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., on Friday, Aug. 23. 9 pm. $10. 21+.

The PS2 once owned 60% of the gaming console market share, but delay after delay of the PS3 and the launch of the Xbox 360 a year prior has proven to be Sony's demise. The revamped Gamecube (aka the Wii)… Read More

Trade waste is all liquid waste, including clean wash water, used during business activities being discharged into the sewer system. It is more contaminated that normal domestic sewerage and therefore needs to be managed correctly.
It is generally waste water from commercial and industrial operations, containing substances such as, but not limited to chemicals, metals, detergents, grease, oil, food scraps and other contaminants.
The wastewater you create as a business can cause blockages, bursts and overflows in your business property, as well as the community. Blockages in your business can result in smelly overflows and backlog which may cause temporary closure of your business or loss of customers.
Correctly managing trade waste also helps us to protect the safety of our staff entering the sewer for maintenance, the operations of the treatment plants, as well as the local community and environment.
In this section, find out about Trade Waste Agreements, how to get one, how much it costs and advice on why and how to manage waste in your business.

Japanese knotweed
Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica, syn. Polygonum cuspidatum, Reynoutria japonica) is a large, herbaceous perennial plant, native to eastern Asia in Japan, China and Korea. In North America and Europe the species is very successful and has been classified as invasive in several countries.
A member of the family Polygonaceae, Japanese knotweed has hollow stems with distinct raised nodes that give it the appearance of bamboo, though it is not closely related. While stems may reach a maximum height of 3–4 m each growing season, it is typical to see much smaller plants in places where they sprout through cracks in the pavement or are repeatedly cut down. The leaves are broad oval with a truncated base, 7–14 cm long and 5–12 cm broad, with an entire margin. The flowers are small, creamy white, produced in erect racemes 6–15 cm long in late summer and early autumn.
Closely related species include giant knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis, syn. Polygonum sachalinense) and Russian vine (Fallopia baldschuanica, syn. Polygonum aubertii, Polygonum baldschuanicum).
Other English names for Japanese knotweed include fleeceflower, Himalayan fleece vine, monkeyweed, Huzhang (Chinese: 虎杖; pinyin: Hǔzhàng), Hancock's curse, elephant ears, pea shooters, donkey rhubarb (although it is not a rhubarb), sally rhubarb, Japanese bamboo, American bamboo, and Mexican bamboo (though it is not a bamboo). In Japanese, the name is "itadori" (usually written in katakana). There are also regional names, and it is sometimes confused with sorrel.
Japanese Knotweed is a commercial source of resveratrol supplements. Hu Zhang root extract is a traditional Chinese medicinal treatment.
Invasive species
In the U.S.A. and Europe, Japanese knotweed is widely considered an invasive species or weed.[1] It is listed by the World Conservation Union as one of the world's 100 worst invasive species.[2]
The invasive root system and strong growth can damage foundations, buildings, flood defences, roads, paving, retaining walls and architectural sites. It can also reduce the capacity of channels in flood defences to carry water.[3]
It is a frequent colonizer of temperate riparian ecosystems, roadsides and waste places. It forms thick, dense colonies that completely crowd out any other herbaceous species and is now considered one of the worst invasive exotics in parts of the eastern United States. The success of the species has been partially attributed to its tolerance of a very wide range of soil types, pH and salinity. Its rhizomes can survive temperatures of −35 °C (−31 °F) and can extend 7 metres (23 ft) horizontally and 3 metres (9.8 ft) deep, making removal by excavation extremely difficult. The plant is also resilient to cutting, vigorously re-sprouting from the roots. The most effective method of control is by herbicide application close to the flowering stage in late summer or autumn. In some cases it is possible to eradicate Japanese knotweed in one growing season using only herbicides. Trials in the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) of British Columbia using sea water sprayed on the foliage have demonstrated promising results, which may prove to be a viable option for eradication where concerns over herbicide application are too great.[citation needed]
It can be found in 39 of the 50 United States[4] and in six provinces in Canada. It is listed as an invasive weed in Ohio, Vermont, Virginia, New York, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Washington state.[5] The species is also common in Europe. In the UK it was made illegal to spread Japanese knotweed by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is also classed as "controlled waste" in Britain under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. This requires disposal at licensed landfill sites.[6]
Two biological pest control agents that show promise in the control of the plant are the psyllid Aphalara itadori and a leaf spot fungus from genus Mycosphaerella.[7]
Japanese knotweed flowers are valued by some beekeepers as an important source of nectar for honeybees, at a time of year when little else is flowering. Japanese knotweed yields a monofloral honey, usually called bamboo honey by northeastern U.S. beekeepers, like a mild-flavored version of buckwheat honey (a related plant also in the Polygonaceae).
The young stems are edible as a spring vegetable, with a flavor similar to mild rhubarb. In some locations, semi-cultivating Japanese knotweed for food has been used as a means of controlling knotweed populations that invade sensitive wetland areas and drive out the native vegetation.[8] Some caution should be exercised when consuming this plant because it contains oxalic acid, which may aggravate conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis, gout, kidney stones or hyperacidity.[9]
Both Japanese knotweed and giant knotweed are important concentrated sources of resveratrol, replacing grape byproducts. Many large supplement sources of resveratrol now use Japanese knotweed and use its scientific name in the supplement labels. The plant is useful because of its year-round growth and robustness in different climates.[10]
Japanese knotweed is a concentrated source of emodin, used as a nutritional supplement to regulate bowel motility. The roots of Japanese knotweed are used in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbal medicines as a natural laxative. The active principle responsible for the laxative effect is emodin, present in its natural form as a complex of its analogs. Emodin has a mild laxative effect in doses of 20 to 50 mg per day.
Japanese knotweed has a large underground network of roots (rhizomes). To eradicate the plant the roots need to be killed. Picking the right herbicide is essential, as it must travel through the plant and into the root system below. Glyphosate is the best active ingredient in herbicide for use on Japanese knotweed as it is 'systemic'; it penetrates through the whole plant and travels to the roots. Glyphosate is available under several trade names - all label the product as a "weed and grass killer". Commercial glyphosate concentrates contain approximately 20%-40% glyphosate; the balance is mostly water. Such concentrates need to be diluted in water.
The most effective spraying solution contains about 5%-10% glyphosate in water. (To make a 5% solution from a 40% concentrate mix 1 part concentrate with 7 parts water.) Ready-to-use solutions that contain less than 5% glyphosate are too weak and do not work. A small amount of liquid dish-washing detergent can be added to improve wetting of the leaves. If possible, both sides of the leaves should be sprayed until they are completely wet. It takes about 3 weeks for most of the plants to die. After 3 weeks, all remaining plants should be sprayed again. This process needs to be repeated until all the plants die.
The US federal government will come and spray Japanese knotweed for no charge in many areas under the Invasive Species Act. Local county extension agencies can be contacted for more details.
In the UK, until 19 October 2009, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government are seeking views on the possible release of a psyllid insect, Aphalara itadori.[11] It is highly specific to Japanese knotweed and shows good potential for its control.[12][13] Research has also been carried out on Mycosphaerella leafspot fungus, which devastates knotweed in its native Japan. Research with Mycosphaerella, has been relatively slow, due to its complex life cycle.[14]
More ecological friendly means are tested such as soil steaming as an alternative to chemicals [15]. Thereby hot steam is injected into the contaminated soil in order to kill problematic plant parts underneath the soil.

I arrived late to be greeted as I drove in so immediately knew where to park and where to go.
My single room was perfect - immaculate, comfortable and with everything I needed for my stay. The bathroom was very spacious and shower good. My breakfast arrived at my door promptly at 8 (as equestrian the night before) - beautifully presented; tasty veggie sausages, tomatoes cooked on the vine, eggs and mushrooms with generous serving of toast and juice and tea. I had to leave early in the morning and rather regretted not having longer to stay in such peaceful, pleasant surroundings.

'DrugAbacus', a Comparative Cancer Drug Pricing Platform Powered by Real Endpoints' RxScorecard™, is Launched
Westport, CT, June 19, 2015 – Real Endpoints (RE) is pleased to announce that its RxScorecard™ is the information technology platform supporting Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's DrugAbacus – an interactive tool for considering the basis of cancer drug prices. Conceived by Dr. Peter B. Bach, Director of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), DrugAbacus was launched at www.drugabacus.org. MSK's DrugAbacus generates a dollar-value for cancer drugs available in the United States (beginning in 2001 with Gleevec) based on a user's settings for six different domains of potential value including the treatment's survival benefit, side effects, and the incidence of the condition targeted. Memorial Sloan Kettering licensed the Real Endpoints RxScorecard platform for research purposes so users can generate "Abacus prices" and compare them with actual prices of these drugs at the time of launch in a visual and intuitive format. "We believe RxScorecard is the only tool available that provides a 360 degree comparison of the multiple components of a drug's value in an independent, objective and systematic approach. We developed the IT platform to make it very easy for users to access our analysis, and are delighted that Dr. Bach selected this platform for DrugAbacus," said Julie Eskay Eagle, RE's Vice...Learn More

It's certainly the biggest change in healthcare in my business lifetime: the transformation from a fee-for-service economy fueled by abundant dollars to an essentially capitated world of financial tradeoffs. The transformation will likely take longer than we expect. (What transformation doesn't?) Still, payers and providers –and the various big and small service providers hoping to serve them — are already trying to improve swaths business processes as diverse as connectivity, transparency, and consumer communication (see the David Shaywitz/Tony Wolff skeptical take on at least the digital aspect of all this) . But relatively little of this re-engineering aims at the purchase and management of drugs. (We'll be talking about the most important innovations at the Real Endpoints Symposium, March 11-12, in Philadelphia). There are a few experiments on the margin. Some payers are playing with tougher formularies (e.g., UnitedHealth de-preferred major market leaders Januvia and Humira, with significant success in moving the former's market share to Onglyza and less success with Humira). "Pathways" in oncology (attempts to standardize physicians on specific drugs) show promise. And now that Medicare, through its star ratings, is paying plans to improve adherence, there's an opportunity for new models that predict when patients will adhere to their meds and when they won't. (For the...Learn More
"Beware the Three Furies," warns Citi analyst Andrew Baum. In a report for pharma investors published Nov. 29., Baum turns to classical mythology to describe shared savings models, drug pathways and ACOs — the forces that will soon dominate US health care plans. He's chosen an interesting analogy: The Three Furies were goddesses of vengeance, who punished the wicked for their crimes; they're also described as "tormenting those who have yet to atone for their sins". So we, and plenty of others, agree that pharma should be nervous. "Reimbursement, not R&D pressure," is the is the biggest risk facing pharma investors, writes Baum. But although "alarmed" by the drivers, and potential consequences, of US healthcare cost containment (particularly given the dire state of the EU), Baum reckons drug firms' earnings won't feel the full brunt of US pricing pressure "until at least 2017." He argues that for the next five years, the revisions to the US healthcare system will have the greatest impact on medtech, hospitals, and diagnostics, with less focus on pharmacy-related costs. Even in the case of drug pathways, singled out as the most important long-term structural risk to the biopharma industry "meaningful adoption will remain slow" in Baum's view. To back that up, he cites research by...Learn More
"Personalized health care requires a new reimbursement model," declared Roche's VP Global Pricing & Market Access Jens Grueger in the elegant London county hall debating chamber on Monday, at the Office of Health Economics (OHE)-sponsored gathering of payers, pharma and economists. The venue was appropriate. Debate centered around whether the move towards more personalized medicine could reasonably support more personalized pricing. Roche, with plenty of targeted medicines at stake, thinks, perhaps wishfully, that more differential, 'value-based' pricing is one answer to the soaring cost of innovation. Not all payers are so enthusiastic. Grueger's calling for more differential pricing not just for the same drug in different indications (as already happens in rare cases today) but also within indications. Such "segment-specific" pricing might, for example, see a breast cancer drug priced differently when used in the late-stage setting versus in the adjuvant setting. As Grueger argued, the price would be "based on the value that the medicine brings" in particular settings for particular patients. Most commonly in HTA-driven countries today, a drug is granted an 'average' price based on its value across a range of settings. But, emphasized Grueger, that one-price-fits-all- indications strategy doesn't suit the kinds of medicines that Roche and others are developing (drugs that, just like on-market Avastin, have potential across...Learn More
One question we get from pharmaceutical and diagnostic clients quite frequently: do payers really care about lowering the costs of care if the cost savings don't show up for a few years? The problem they're talking about is churn: a payer invests in a new cost-saving therapeutic program … only to see the savings redound to his payer-competitor when the patient switches plans (which they do every 3-5 years). Take adherence. It should be an obvious win-win for patients, payers, and pharmaceutical companies (shameless plug: we'll be defining what's wrong and what could be right with adherence at our Real Endpoints Symposium, Nov 1-2, in Philadelphia). But, by and large, solutions to improving adherence have been elusive. "We made a huge investment in adherence," one head of managed markets at a major drug company told us. "And we've gotten zero return. Zero. We can't even bring up the subject to top management." Adherence would be a tough nut to crack even if providers, payers and pharma were completely aligned. It's enormously difficult and expensive to get people to take their medicines as they should. But the problem's been compounded because payers haven't always been particularly helpful in the process. One reason: they haven't felt the economic need to spend...Learn More
The Olympics (and shark week) are over, the dog days have officially arrived, and here at the West Coast branch of Real Endpoints, it's back to work as the little people head back to school. (Already!) Given Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate, it's a sure bet healthcare (especially Medicaid and Medicare) will remain a subject of debate in the run-up to the presidential election. So will the subject of "big medicine" and standardization. Atul Gawande's New Yorker piece on the topic continues to generate discussion in the blogo- and twitter-spheres as well as #longread recommendations. And it's no wonder. If you're like me you've probably taken for granted (or refused to believe) that a chain like the Cheesecake Factory can provide high quality food and service for a reasonable price. What Gawande does so well is show you the non-obvious steps that CF uses to manage the process and highlight where—and how—such standardization would make a difference in healthcare delivery. Even better are the specific examples he cites, whether it's Steward Hospital's tele-ICU service or Brigham and Women's Hospital's attempt to standardize joint-replacement surgery. In the latter case, it's interesting to see how the creation of a dedicated process –for instance, one that requires...Learn More
It's an odd, chalk-and-cheese notion: that a typically European, rather socialist form of pricing and reimbursement reform such as AMNOG, Germany's system of early added-benefit assessment for new drugs, could help drive more free-market-style competition between the country's statutory health insurance (SHI) funds. There are signs that it's happening, though — albeit via a roundabout route. That matters to pharma, since more competition among payers means a more aggressive efficacy drive. That may in turn call for direct contracting with individual drug firms, be it to help generate compelling outcomes data, improve adherence or whatever. Unlike most other European payers, Germany's SHIs are awash with cash. That's in part thanks to an increase in individuals' health care contribution rate, as a percentage of gross wage, to 15.5% from January 2011. But AMNOG helped too, causing a drop in drug expenditure of 6.5% in the first half of 2011. This comfortable position means few, if any, SHIs have to charge top-up premiums to their insured in order to cover costs. That means less competition, since, to any individual, all of the 150 or so funds look similar. But less competition is precisely the opposite of what government has been trying to promote since 2009, with reforms designed to increase pricing...Learn More
The next big data visualization graphic: This week Express Scripts published its annual drug report. The big news: the cost of nonadherence. Indeed, $317 billion of the $408 billion in pharmacy-related waste accumulated in 2011 was due to failed medical adherence, more money than the combined drug costs associated with treating diabetes, congestive heart failure and cancer – combined. Working towards solutions for nonadherence obviously frees up a lot of resources that might be devoted to the coverage of new specialty medicines. (For pharma, it might even be a way to structure a risk-sharing contract. But we digress.) According to a piece in the Wall Street Journal on the growing importance of Big Data, one emerging strategy—and business opportunity—at payers, pharmacy benefit managers, and even providers, is the development of analytic capabilities. Mark it under the mantra "you control what you don't measure." Key data intensive areas include not just patient adherence, but also probability of relapse, as well as cost (especially total cost of care). How are different stakeholders using the data? As WSJ spells out, providers such as Health Management Associates and the California physicians group Heritage Provider Network are trying to predict—and hopefully eliminate or avoid—unnecessary hospital readmissions. Express Scripts wants to improve adherence to medications,...Learn More

Escrima and I make it to Metropolis. It's mainly a quiet journey but occasionally she feels the need to chat. Some of her mannerisms remind me of my mom, which is maybe why I'm quiet, just soaking it in.
"Why is it called the City of Tomorrow?" asked Escrima as we approached the outskirts.
"Way back when, before Super scum took over, Metropolis was the shining example" I said "It had technology years ahead of everyone. When the League brought down their technology like Prometheus, Metropolis once again led the way"
"How do you know all this stuff?"
"I'm a SHADE agent!" I watch her face as she wonders if I'm serious "Always been good with history. Now cover yourself in this" I hand her a flask.
She uncorks it and has a sniff "Ammonia?"
"Reduces your scent and clouds your DNA trail" I tell her as I cover myself in it "Makes T-spheres flip out trying to process, just do it" Escrima pours it over herself gingerly; I shrug "If you want Superman to smell you?"
"Won't he just be able to smell ammonia?"
I look at her "What do they use to clean hospital floors?"
"Covers your tracks" she responds "But if…"
"Look, all I know is that for years I've been doing the ammonia thing and I'm still alive" I tell her "Now we're going to meet some members of the Resistance who are Metropolis based. They're good but a little too young and a little too serious. Kid Thunder and Chris Blood"
"How many…?" Escrima starts to talk when I draw my gun and hold it too her head.
"What was your first pet?" I demand
"A canary!" she replies, a little angry
"What was its name?" I yell
"Booster Gold!"
I holster my gun. "What the hell was all that about?" shrieks Escrima
"SHADE agents ask questions like that!" I tell her "Now rub your eyes for me?"
She looks at me, fury etched across her face as she rubs her eyes "You're insane"
"No, I'm paranoid" I tell her "I trust two people and you're neither one of them. Sorry, but you're on a need to know basis about how big or small we are"
"You pull a gun on me again and I'll knock your head off" warns Escrima.
"Fair enough" I laugh as we head into Metropolis
(What happens next is the end Brain #7 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/fan-fic-8/corrupted-the-brain-7-1455845/#11 and Brain #8 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/fan-fic-8/corrupted-the-brain-8-1456028/#13)
I slam the Brain up against the wall, my hand firmly around his neck "You're friends with a SHADE agent! You need seven, seven good reasons why I shouldn't crush your windpipe and put a bullet through your head, you crying sack of crap!"
The Brain clawed at my arm as I pressed tighter as I drew my gun and placed it to his temple.
Just kill him…
I shake my head. That damn voice again. I look into his eyes, I don't know whether it's fear or the fact that I'm cutting off the blood supply to his head but there's something. I throw him to the floor.
"I don't trust you!" I yell at him as he pants for breath "You've been in my world for less than twenty four hours and look at the mess you've made! You can leave. Chris, Thunder, pack it up we're on the move"
The Brain quietly gets to his feet and is about to speak when my hand goes to my gun. He nods and slinks away. I guess he feels bad, but I really couldn't care less at this point. Escrima stands there not really sure what to do.
"Welcome to the Resistance!" I mockingly cheer "Regular laugh riot"
"So what now?" asks Escrima
"We head to our secondary sight, without fat head, and then we put my plans into action"
What happened next is located here in Hawkman http://www.comicvine.com/forums/fan-fic-8/corrupted-hawkman-1-oneshot-1458091/#11
"I really need Red" I pace back and forth the small lead lined concrete bunker.
"Code Red, my fiancé" I noticed that I was caressing bullets in my hands, just like my old man use to "She's in Gotham or Bludhaven…I don't know I need her here!" I fling the bullets across the room.
Escrima walks over to the table and picks up one of the vials on the table "Well until she gets here, how about we go through this purple plan. If she can move at light speed, she'll be here soon"
"It's modified Velocity-9. It gives super speed. Nowhere near what Red can do, but we're talking Mach 22 range which is about fifteen thousand miles per hour. We load up everyone and we hit the purple rays whilst the League is distracted by an explosion"
"What explosion?"
"The one at the Hawkman cloning facility. Weeks ago we rigged an air conditioning unit with C4. That air conditioner is next to their nuclear reactor that keeps the plant running. We blow that and cause a distraction, maybe even send Hawkman their coz I trust him about as much as I trust the Brain" I pick up a vial and flip it like a coin "They look left, we hit the right"
"Now how does hitting the purple rays hurt the League?" asked Escrima "They actually help people"
"The League also make it rain, control what we eat and have T-spheres on every corner!" I bark "What's the point of living to one hundred and twenty with a ball and chain around your neck huh?"
Two in the head…
"Ah shut up!" I grab my forehead "Seriously shut up!"
"I didn't…"
I slam a fist through the table "You like the League so much, go join them!"
Escrima backed up and drew both of her rods "I think you need to chill"
I can feel my mask filling with froth and saliva, sweat invading my eyes, my pulse racing. What the hell is wrong with me? So angry, so…crazy!
"Hey D?"
"WHAT?" I turn and snap at Chris Blood which actually makes him jump and have an expression other than pathetic across his face.
"Reports that Wonder Woman is in Kansas" gulped Chris.
"Send a pinger for Red; I need her here and now!" I throw the vial at Escrima "You ready to ride the lightning?"
Escrima looks at me confused, can't blame her really I do have some frenetic moments.
From the Journal of Jay Slade Quinn aka Deranger:
If you're reading this then I'm dead. If I'm reading this, then okay. If you're Superman, I hope this is the last thing you ever read, must look into kryptonite ink…
The voices are starting again! More regular, more often. It worries me…it should worry everyone due to the fact they sound like my grandfather, and not the one with the missing eye!
We're about to launch Operation Purple Smile…which also worries me because I don't recall where the name came from but they say I made it up. Purple and my grandfather went hand in hand like fish and chips…smiling toxic fish…
The Brain concerns me, so does this Hawkman who's suddenly on our side. Also there's some weird stuff coming in from Kahndaq about monsters and lighting and Zachary Zatara.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The favourites going into the 2014 Canadian men's curling championship are the favourites coming out as the round robin draws to a close with Alberta, Manitoba and B.C. sitting one, two, three.
Alberta's Kevin Koe sits at 9-1 in top spot with only one game left this norning, after a 9-6 win over Prince Edward Island Thursday afternoon. P.E.I., led by Eddie MacKenzie (3-7), also has only one game left against the Territories this morning at the Tim Hortons Brier.
Koe admitted he made it harder than it should have been.
"We got up early and then I just threw one bad shot and gave up a three ender (and) after that they started making a lot of shots," he said.
"We definitely could have made it easier on ourselves."
One more win Friday in their final game against Quebec and he gets hammer and choice of rocks for the one vs. two playoff. It's an experience Koe says he has never had, either in 2010 when he won the Brier or in 2012 when he came second.
"It'll be a different feeling, not having our backs against the wall," Koe said.
Manitoba and B.C. both sat at 8-2 after three-time winner Jeff Stoughton defeated B.C.'s John Morris 7-6 in an extra end Thursday morning. The top three seem secure but exactly who sits in what spot awaited the results of their final games Thursday and today.
Assuming they all win, the order is Alberta, Manitoba, B.C.
"It was a great game, puts us in a great position," said Stoughton, whose last win was in 2011.
"It gives you confidence going into the playoffs that things are going pretty good for us. We feel that we're playing better now than we were at the start of the week. And I think . . . what you want to do is build on it."
Stoughton started the Brier with four wins — though none were decisive — before losing to Alberta and Quebec. He admitted both he and third John Mead needed to pick up their game.
The Thursday morning game wasn't mistake-free for Manitoba or B.C., but the last and most costly miss was made by the hometown favourites.
After exchanging deuces in the first two ends, it was singles until B.C.'s Jim Cotter missed a key double with his last rock in eight, letting Stoughton draw to the button for two to go ahead 6-5.
"It was a real tough double," said Morris. "We missed it by a hair."
"It was just one of those games where we weren't sharp enough, we were really close but we weren't sharp enough. Jimmy made a couple of clutch shots just to keep us in it."
Cotter, who has been a top-shooting fourth stone for much of the Brier, agreed it was a killer.
"That was a big deuce in eight for them. I just barely missed, the wrong side of the inch I guess," he said.
"Maybe it wasn't our best game but we hung in there, made him throw his last one."
Manitoba held the lead into 10 when Cotter had to hit to take one and force the extra end but Stoughton used the hammer to score a single with an easy double bump to sit on the button.
Saskatchewan is now in the driver's seat in the battle for the fourth and final playoff spot.
Steve Laycock was down 4-0 in the second but came back to edge Greg Balsdon of Ontario 8-7 in an extra end and, at 6-3, fourth place is now Saskatchewan's to lose. But they faced a game against B.C. Thursday evening.
"That was massive because they're the team we've got to stay ahead of and Quebec won their game so they're one loss behind us," Laycock said of the win.
Quebec was sitting at 5-4 after a 7-5 win over the Territories led by Jamie Koe, Kevin's brother, and were facing Northern Ontario (2-8) in the evening draw. But they must play Alberta today.
In the only other afternoon game, James Grattan of New Brunswick kept his hopes alive and improved to 5-5, tied with Newfoundland and Labrador, by beating winless Jamie Murphy of Nova Scotia 6-5.
Newfoundland was set to play the Territories Thursday evening and Grattan faces Saskatchewan this morning.
Ontario was at 4-5 after the loss to Saskatchewan and faced Manitoba Thursday evening, when a loss would put them out of contention.

My update to 744 occurred yesterday at 3:48am. Starting last night, I lost access to programs on my HR44/700 with my GenieGO. The HR44 show up as in the DVR Playlist Manager, but no programs. Resets to the GenieGo returns the HR44 programs for a few minutes (and can be played) and then they disappear again (or if they are still there, I get a DVR busy error).
I don't know if this problem is an x744 issue or not. But that's the only thing that changed between when I could access my HR44 through the GG and can't.

Joy Is in Giving (and Drinking)
New Times admits it: When we say that the holidays are a time for giving,what were really referring to most of the time is the practice of giving our livers all they can handle. See, there is nothing wrong with boozing till were as tipsy as a dreidel, our noses are red as Rudolphs, and were generally lit like a kinara especially if our pursuit of holiday jollies benefits a good cause. Thats why Mickey Byrnes Second-Annual Festivus for the Rest of Us! should be marked on the holiday calendars of celebrators of all kinds and creeds.
By attending this cheerful affair, youll not only be able to meet your livers holiday quota by slamming em down at the two-hour open bar but youll be doing it to benefit the Ann Storck foundation, which is as dedicated to helping children and adults with developmental disabilities as you are to blacking out in a goofy sweater in December. The party costs ten bucks to get in and starts at 7 p.m. at Mickey Byrnes (1921 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood). A $25 Sweet Elfin Deal package, which includes a T-shirt and raffle ticket, is also available. Visit annstorckcenter.org, or call 954-584-8000.
