alternatives to fossil fuels. In that three and a half decades talk is
about all weve done.
To be sure there has been some incre-mental progress. Solar energy
technology has improved enough that converting sunshine to power is
easier. There is significantly more wind energy. Maine, for example, has
made a genuine commitment to wind energy and is progressing apace.
Geothermal energy production, however, seems to be still in its embryonic
stages and the dream of hydrogen fuel cells producing nearly perpetual
energy is still just that; a dream.
Democratic presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama all talked about the need
to make a commitment to alternative energy. We know they must have been
sincere because weve seen nice photos of them standing next to arrays of
solar collectors.
Republican presidents during the same arc of time have promised to find
more domestic oil and natural gas. They believe the solution to ending
our increasingly inane dependence on foreign oil is to start capturing the
fossil fuels we already know exist beneath us on land and under the oceans
off our coasts. Frankly, they havent been a lot more successful than
those promising alternatives.
It is time we decided. Are we going to seriously explore alternatives or
are we going to seriously go after our own fossil fuels?
The starting point for any debate on energy has to be the reality that
there is no such thing as absolutely clean energy. At least no such thing
weve yet discovered.
The manufacturing of wind turbines and solar panels involve mining (copper
wire) and manufacturing using petrochemicals. The transportation and
installation of the finished products present additional challenges.
Once up and running the energy produced is remarkably clean by todays
standards but there are complaints by neighbors about shadow flicker and
noise and birds flying into the blades of wind turbines. Complaints about
the glare of solar panels and their lack of aesthetic compatibility with
residential neighborhoods also continue.
Additionally, costs continue to be prohibitive for individual use of both
solar and wind. Not all of us can afford to lay out $20,000 or more to
install a solar array on our roof or in our backyard. Wind turbine towers
are even more expensive and neighbors seem to get cranky if we try to
erect them in our back yards. Geothermal is breathtakingly expensive and
weve not yet really figured out how to affordably break hydrogen out of
the air or water to power fuel cells.
Perhaps more telling is the fact that the energy produced by all the
alternatives is currently so expensive it will have to be subsidized to be
affordable for most of us.
If we arent going to make the necessary commitment to overcome the
hurdles alternative energy presents, then maybe we should get busy finding
more fossil fuels.
There is still a lot of oil under the ground and offshore. Lets get
Sure, there will be the occasional mishap but, what the hell, this is just
eggs and omelets. Its even conceivable some clever engineer or designer
will finally come up with that elusive 100 miles per gallon, low emissions
engine. It could happen.
And we have a century or more of natural gas underground. It burns
cleaner than the gasoline we get from oil and, at least now, is cheaper.
That a lot of it is trapped thousands of feet underground is a problem
already solved by the invention of fracking, a process by which millions
of gallons of water infused with a cocktail of unknown chemicals (the
companies doing it claim the chemical mixture is proprietary and,
therefore, a secret) is blasted into the earth to disintegrate the pesky
shale in which and under which the natural gas lurks.
Yes, there have been a couple of incidents in which the gas and water
table sort of intermingled resulting in flaming tap water. And one
fracking operation recently blew up, but those kinds of incidents are
probably not going to happen often. Probably.
If we insist on going the fossil fuel route, were going to have to accept
the occasional BP-type spill at a well site, the occasional Exxon Valdez
transporting accident, the occasional explosion at a natural gas well and
the fact that were going to keep spewing carbon into the atmosphere while
we use our plentiful supplies of oil and natural gas.
No matter how you analyze it, the alternatives are cleaner and safer.
Weve made little progress in actually using them because we simply have
not had the will to move forward in a way that makes them economically
Nothing weve yet tried is perfect and every alternative has drawbacks.
But no alternative has the kinds of drawbacks we now face with our
continued dependence on fossil fuels. The exploration, pumping and
refining of oil is incredibly destructive and inherently dangerous. And
we end up with a product that despoils our air and, too often, our land
and water, too. Not to mention the promise of $5 a gallon gasoline.
The time has arrived for some national leadership that does more than
talk about alternatives. We know the technology exists that can help
move us away from a dependence on oil and gas. We know the alternatives
work and become more efficient the more we develop them.
Weve talked long enough. Lets make up our minds what kind of energy
future were going to leave our children and then actually do it.
Alternative energy is there for the asking if we can summon up the will.
If, on the other hand, we want to be a fossil fuel country for the
foreseeable future then lets stop worrying about environmental impact and
dependence on lunatic foreign leaders and quit whining and get busy
fracking and drilling.
What were currently doing is a commitment to neither to the detriment of
both. Were just blowing sunshine and importing fossil fuels.

I was impressed by Dr Marwan Koukash in the press conference, he comes across really well.
I just hope they don't sign too many overseas players and focus on developing players for the future.
It does sound as if we've been blessed with a star taking us over.
I know what you mean about overseas players, but we are very lightweight in the pack (and have been for a while) and because there are almost no English forwards available just now, we will have to recruit from overseas. I do hope, though, that this would be a short-term fix and that we can sort out our junior development, which seems to have been very poor for a long time.

I like Gruden but the face fits he makes........he looks like he's having a hard time on the toilet.
I like Gruden's energy. But sometimes he reminds me of Dan Dierdorf. He knows what he's talking about, but goes the route of saying everyone and everything is the best ever.
And he spends too much time giving guys credit for reputation vs what they're actually doing on the field.
I did enjoy his chat with Tomlin before the game. That was a cool piece.

USDA to spend $59 million on Miss. River clean up
Initiative works with farmers and landowners to reduce pollution
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it's spending another $59 million this year on an initiative that works with farmers and other landowners to reduce pollution in the Mississippi River basin.
The agency says the new funding raises its total investment in the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds initiative to about $289 million since 2010.
The initiative works with farmers and landowners to encourage voluntary conservation practices that improve water quality, restore wetlands, enhance wildlife habitat and sustain agricultural profitability.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says in a statement to The Associated Press that the program is an example of how voluntary conservation practices in small watersheds can help improve a larger river system by reducing sediment and nitrogen runoff.
The USDA plans to issue an official announcement later today.

Amr Abdallah Dalsh / Reuters
Protesters clash with supporters of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi with Molotov cocktails and stones outside the presidential palace in Cairo on Wednesday night.
Updated at 7 p.m. ET: CAIRO — President Mohamed Morsi on Thursday invited political groups and legal figures to meet for a national dialogue on solutions to Egypt's political crisis after clashes between his supporters and his foes left seven dead and hundreds wounded.
Morsi did not, however, rescind decrees granting him wide powers that his opponents had demanded, and his overtures on talks were immediately rejected by opposition leaders.
The main office of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood was set ablaze late Thursday, the group's political party said, and another office used by the party was torched in a suburb south of the city, the state news agency reported.
In a nationally televised address to the nation, Morsi said he would bring together a number of groups at a Saturday meeting at the presidential palace.
"Such painful events happened because of political differences that should be resolved through dialogue," the Islamist president said after two days of violence during protests.
The discussions would center on a political roadmap after a referendum on a new constitution, Reuters reported. Morsi said they would discuss the fate of the upper house of parliament after the lower house was dissolved in June, the election law and other issues. He said plans for the referendum on December 15 were on track.
Analysis: Supporters of Islamist president push Egypt to tipping point
"I call for a full, productive dialogue with all figures and heads of parties, revolutionary youth and senior legal figures to meet this Saturday," Morsi said. He said he would harshly apply homeland security laws.
President Barack Obama called Morsi on Thursday to express his deep concern about the deaths and injuries of protesters in Egypt, the White House said in a statement.
"The President emphasized that all political leaders in Egypt should make clear to their supporters that violence is unacceptable," the statement read. "Obama welcomed President Morsi's call for a dialogue with the opposition but stressed that such a dialogue should occur without preconditions." The U.S. has also urged opposition leaders to join the dialogue without preconditions.
On the doorstep of Egypt's presidential palace, angry protesters accuse Mohamed Morsi of stealing power and imposing a constitution they consider illegal. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
The speech seemed to do little to ease the crisis. The opposition has already said that it would not enter a dialogue with Morsi unless he first rescinds the decrees and shelves the constitution draft hurriedly adopted by his Islamist allies.
Some members of the umbrella National Salvation Front coalition of major opposition parties have already rejected the dialogue, as did leaders of the "April 6" movement, a group instrumental in starting the Jan. 25 revolution.
Ayman Nour of al Ghad Party, who was formerly jailed under the regime of Hosni Mubarak, said the referendum must be postponed and demanded that Morsi provide evidence that acts of thuggery against protesters were planned.
The Freedom and Justice Party said on its Facebook page that the headquarters in the Mukattam district had been attacked in "a terrorist aggression'' by thugs, Reuters reported. The state news agency said the office used by the FJP was set ablaze in the Cairo suburb of Maadi. Another office was broken into near the city centerr, it said. It was not clear who set the fires or perpetrated the break in and no groups had claimed responsibility for the acts.
Some among the thousands of opposition protesters gathered near his palace on Thursday raised their shoes in contempt as they listened to Morsi, The Associated Press reported. Others broke into the iconic Arab Spring chant of "the people want to topple the regime."
Earlier Thursday, angry mobs battled each other with Molotov cocktails, rocks and sticks outside the presidential palace complex.
Egypt's Republican Guard, which witnesses said had deployed at least four tanks, later restored order outside the palace.
The street battles were the worst violence since Egypt's latest crisis erupted on Nov. 22, when Morsi assumed near absolute powers.
'Men don't have to worry about being caught': Sex mobs target Egypt's women
The large scale and intensity of the fighting marked a milestone in Egypt's rapidly emerging schism, pitting the Muslim Brotherhood and ultra-conservative Islamists in one camp, against liberals, leftists and Christians in the other.
It was the first time supporters of the rival camps have fought each other since last year's uprising that toppled authoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak.
Officials said seven people had been killed and 350 wounded in the violence, for which each side blamed the other, Reuters reported. The Muslim Brotherhood said six of the dead were Morsi supporters.
The commander of the Republican Guard said deployment of tanks and troop carriers around the presidential palace was intended to separate the adversaries, not to repress them.
Asmaa Waguih / Reuters
Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood stand near tanks on Thursday that had been deployed outside the Egypt's presidential palace in Cairo.
"The armed forces, and at the forefront of them the Republican Guard, will not be used as a tool to oppress the demonstrators," General Mohamed Zaki told the state news agency.
Hussein Abdel Ghani, spokesman of the opposition National Salvation Front, said more protests were planned, but not necessarily at the palace in Cairo's Heliopolis district.
"Our youth are leading us today and we decided to agree to whatever they want to do," he told Reuters.
Analysis: Egyptians warn that Morsi is no friend of US
The fighting erupted late Wednesday afternoon when thousands of Morsi's Islamist supporters descended on an area near the presidential palace where some 300 of his opponents were staging a sit-in.
The Islamists, members of the Muslim Brotherhood, chased the protesters away from their base outside the palace's main gate and tore down their tents.
After a brief lull, hundreds of Morsi opponents arrived and began throwing firebombs at the president's backers, who responded with rocks.
More Egypt coverage from NBC News
By dawn, the violence had calmed. But both sides appeared to be digging in for a long struggle, with the opposition vowing more protests later Thursday and rejecting any dialogue unless the charter is rescinded.
The violence spread to other parts of the country on Wednesday. Anti-Morsi protesters stormed and set ablaze the Muslim Brotherhood offices in Suez and Ismailia, east of Cairo, and there were clashes in the industrial city of Mahallah and the province of Menoufiyah in the Nile Delta north of the capital.
There were rival demonstrations outside the Brotherhood's headquarters in Alexandria. And security officials said senior Brotherhood official Sobhi Saleh was hospitalized after being severely beaten by Morsi opponents.
Morsi, for his part, seemed to be pressing relentlessly forward with plans for a Dec. 15 constitutional referendum to pass the new charter.
NBC News' Charlene Gubash, Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Violence breaks out in Cairo, Egypt, outside Mohammed Morsi's presidential palace. NBC's Jim Maceda has more on the clashes and a possible constitutional compromise by the Egyptian government.

"Never met a wilderness she did like."
The conservative majority on the Supreme Court once again expanded its doctrine of corporate personhood with its ruling on Monday in the Hobby Lobby case.
Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, said:
"Protecting the free-exercise rights of corporations like Hobby Lobby, Conestoga, and Mardel protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control those companies."
And while the Court limited its decision to tightly held private companies, its argument applies to all corporations.
"No known understanding of the term "person" includes some but not all corporations. . . . No conceivable definition of the term includes natural persons and nonprofit corporations, but not for-profit corporations." (Italics in the original.)
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg jumped all over this in her dissent.
"Although the Court attempts to cabin its language to closely held corporations, its logic extends to corporations of any size, public or private," she noted.
"There is in the case law no support for the notion that free exercise rights pertain to for-profit corporations," she wrote. "Until this litigation, no decision of this Court recognized a for-profit corporation's qualification for a religious exemption from a generally applicable law…. The absence of such precedent is just what one would expect, for the exercise of religion is characteristic of natural persons, not artificial entities."
She added that "the Court's expansive notion of corporate personhood…invites for-profit entities to seek religion-based exemptions from regulations they deem offensive to their faith."
She noted that employers could claim "religiously grounded objections to blood transfusions (Jehovah's Witnesses); antidepressants (Scientologists): medications derived from pigs, including anesthesia, intravenous fluids, and pills coated with gelatin (certain Muslims, Jews, and Hindus); and vaccinations (Christian Scientists, among others)."
She concluded, pithily: "The court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield."
She also argued that the majority on the Court minimized the compelling state interest in "public health and women's well-being."

The beauty and the tragedy of everyday life in a war zone.
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.

July 26, 2001: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a panoramic portrait of a vast, sculpted landscape of gas and dust where thousands of stars are being born. This fertile star-forming region, called the 30 Doradus Nebula, has a sparkling stellar centerpiece: the most spectacular cluster of massive stars in our cosmic neighborhood of about 25 galaxies. The mosaic picture shows that ultraviolet radiation and high-speed material unleashed by the stars in the cluster, called R136 [the large blue blob left of center], are weaving a tapestry of creation and destruction, triggering the collapse of looming gas and dust clouds and forming pillar-like structures that are incubators for nascent stars.See the rest:
The new stellar nursery is about 30 to 50 light-years from the central cluster. Most of the stars in the nursery are not visible because they are still encased in their cocoons of gas and dust.
The stars formed from the collapse of huge clouds of dust and gas around the massive star cluster, R136. Powerful "stellar winds" (streams of material traveling at several million miles an hour) released by the R136 cluster are compressing the inner regions of the gas and dust clouds. The intense pressure is triggering the collapse of parts of the clouds, producing a new generation of star formation around the central cluster.
Previous Hubble telescope observations revealed that the process of "triggered" star formation often involves massive pillars of material that point toward the central cluster. Such pillars form when particularly dense clouds of gas and dust shield columns of material behind them from the blistering radiation and strong winds released by massive stars, like the stars in R136. This protected material becomes the pillars where stars can form and grow. The Hubble telescope first spied these pillars of stellar creation when it captured close-up views of the Eagle Nebula.
The new image of 30 Doradus shows numerous pillars each several light-years long oriented toward the central cluster. These pillars, which resemble tiny fingers, are similar in size to those in the Eagle Nebula.
R136 contains several dozen of the most massive stars known, each about 100 times the mass of the Sun and about 10 times as hot. These stellar behemoths all formed at the same time about 2 million years ago.

All of the words
Any of the words
The exact words(phrase)
Karl Feucht (1893 - 1954)
Feucht was the mechanic on N25 on the flight towards the North Pole in 1925. He was born on the 24th of December in 1893 and died on the 30th of June 1954.
Karl Feucht from Würtemberg in Germany was a mechanic with the German Dornier Wal company. During the First World War he had sailed as mechanic on Zeppelin airships over France and England.
It was decided early in 1925 that Feucht would accompany the planes to Ny-Ålesund at Svalbard and join the flight to the North Pole. He was apparently chosen by the firm because he was an experienced mechanic, he was short and lightweight, and he claimed to be a good skier.
Feucht was on the N25 together with Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and Roald Amundsen. If it was necessary to attend to the two 350 Hp Rolls Royce engines on the way, the mechanic could climb up to the engine house which was mounted on top of the body of the flying boat. Feucht was responsible for the engines on the N25 before the six men took off from the drift ice. He was not happy during the 3½ weeks in the ice.

In this session we will analyze and resolve a real world SQL Server Performance issue. We will first identify a customer's query performance issue and understand the reason for the non optimal performance of their application. After understanding the limitations it will of course be natural to invent and perform non TCO increasing magic to make SQL Server really fly. We will also provide few words of caution for those who might abuse the newly acquired magical powers.
This deep dive, no fancy power point show is equally designed for developers and administrators. If you are one of those who would rather perform the magic on your own laptop than just observe it being demonstrated, send me an email so I can send you the demo scripts to prepare yourself for the adventure.

Pettus' first-year coach, Jeff Doege, opened his first official practice as the Eagles' mentor at 12:01 a.m.
Doege has been in Pettus since early April, so he was able to work in the offseason with his new players.
Installing his system is still a work in progress, though.
"I'm new, but not new, because we've already been doing some of this stuff," Doege said. "It's baby steps. It's about progressing day by day. We're talking about 'win the day.'
"It's a battle; it's a battle within us."
By Wednesday, the Eagles were well on their way to learning Doege's system.
"As far as where we're at right now," Doege said, "I think we're right where we need to be. ... I'm throwing some things at them, and some are grasping and some are not, but that's the way it usually is at this point."
Skidmore-Tynan hit the field at 6 a.m. Monday.
Second-year head coach John Livas said it felt really good to get back to football.
"As I told the kids, back in November, this is what we've prepared for. It feels really good just to be practicing football and talking about football again.
"It was good. You could just feel the excitement, the butterflies. I told the kids, I couldn't sleep the night before because I was ready to go. I think, for the most part, our kids were like that too. I think we were all just excited to be back."
The Bobcats are looking to rebound from an 0-10 season.
And Livas has lofty goals for his purple-and-yellow clad charges.
"Our destiny is in our hands. We control our destiny," he said. "Back in November, when we started offseason, we talked about what our goals were going to be, and that's to get better every single day we're out here.
"And eventually, we want to get to the playoffs. ... That's our ultimate goal."

Welcome to Security Alerts, an overview of recent Unix and open-source security advisories.
In this column, we look at buffer overflows in the Solaris mail utility, Qpopper, and TIAtunnel; temporary-file race conditions in Imp,
kmmodreg, and
ispell; format-string vulnerabilities in GnuPG and
exim; denial-of-service attacks against NetBSD and Fpf; and problems in OpenSSH, the Cisco Content Service Switch, and BestCrypt.
The GNU privacy guard, GnuPG, has a format-string vulnerability that can be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user executing GnuPG. The use of the
--batch parameter (often used when GnuPG is called by an email client) prevents the exploitation of this vulnerability.
It is recommended that users upgrade GnuPG to version 1.0.6.
A vulnerability in NetBSD's IP stack can be attacked by sending a large number of fragmented IP packets. For each fragment that NetBSD receives it will create a reassembly queue that is maintained for 30 seconds. If an attacker quickly sends enough fragmented packets that each have a different IP identification field, the machine may stop communicating on the network. It has been reported that several automated exploits for this vulnerability have been distributed.
It is recommended that systems running NetBSD-current from before April 17, 2001, upgrade to the latest NetBSD-current. Systems running NetBSD 1.5.x dated before April 24, 2001, should upgrade to NetBSD 1.5.x dated after April 24, 2001. These new versions introduce a new
sysctl variable
net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets that is used to control the upper limit of reassembly queues.
Alerts this week:
Cisco Content Service Switch
OpenSSH can be manipulated into deleting any file on the system that is named
cookies. This vulnerability only affects OpenSSH clients that have X-forwarding enabled.
This vulnerability has been fixed in the OpenSSH CVS repository. Users of OpenSSH should watch for an updated release or compile a version from the CVS repository.
There is a buffer overflow in the Solaris version of the
/usr/bin/mail program that could be used by an attacker to gain the permissions of the mail group. It has been reported to affect the SPARC and X86 version of Solaris 2.6, 7, and 8.
Users should remove access to
/usr/bin/mail from untrusted users until a patch from SUN has been installed.
Imp, a web-based email client, does not safely create its temporary files when uploading or viewing attachments. This vulnerability creates a race condition that, if exploited, may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running the web server. This vulnerability affects version 1.2.4 but may also affect earlier versions.
Users of Imp should upgrade to version 1.2.5 or newer as soon as possible.
The Cisco Content Service Switch does not properly restrict access to its web management system allowing unauthenticated users access to secure data. This affects versions of Cisco WebNS earlier than 4.01B29s or 4.10B17s.
Users should upgrade as soon as possible to Cisco WebNS version 4.01B29s or 4.10B17s.
The Fpf kernel module alters the Linux TCP/IP stack so that it emulates other operating systems TCP/IP fingerprints and appears to applications such as
nmap or
queso to be a different OS. A bug in Fpf causes the kernel to panic when the IP stack receives a fragmented packet.
Users should watch for a new version of Fpf that fixes this problem.
The HPUX utility
kmmodreg has a symbolic-link race condition that an attacker can use to overwrite or create arbitrary files.
Users should install patch PHCO_24112 as soon as possible.
BestCrypt allows users to create an encrypted loopback file system. The Linux version of BestCrypt has a vulnerability in the set user ID root utility
bctool that can be used to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the root user.
Users of BestCrypt should remove the set user ID bit from
bctool and upgrade to version 0.8 as soon as possible.
Qpopper, a server for POP mail, has a buffer overflow that may be exploitable to execute arbitrary code as the root user.
Users should upgrade to version 4.0.3 or newer of Qpopper as soon as possible.
The Message Transfer Agent
exim has a format-string vulnerability that may be exploitable if
headers_check_syntax has been turned on.
Users of
exim should watch for a patch.
TIAtunnel, an IRC relay or bouncer, has a remotely executable buffer overflow that can be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server with the permissions of the user executing TIAtunnel. An automated exploit for this vulnerability has been released.
Users should watch for an updated version of TIAtunnel and should consider turning TIAtunnel off until it has been fixed.
xinetd, under Red Hat Linux 7 and 7.1, is started with a umask of 0. This will cause applications
xinetd starts that do not set their own umask to create world-writable files. It has also been reported that there is a potential buffer overflow in the version of
xinetd distributed with Red Hat Linux 7.
Affected users should upgrade
xinetd to the latest package available from Red Hat.
ispell spell-checking program is vulnerable to a symbolic-link race condition attack. This vulnerability may be used to overwrite files with the permissions of the user executing
Users should upgrade to a patched version of
The VirtualCart Shopping Cart web-based application has a bug that can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the web server.
Users of VirtualCart Shopping Cart should contact the vendor for a patch.
Return to the Linux DevCenter.

No. 2: Body oil
Exotic dancers aren't the only professionals who can claim odd items as work-related tax deductions. Consider the world of professional bodybuilding, for instance.
In 2004, Wisconsin bodybuilder Corey L. Wheir filed suit against the IRS after the agency denied his deductions for bison meat, supplements and oil and tanning products.
Wheir pointed to the high-protein meat and other items, including ProTan Muscle Juice Professional Posing Oil, which he applied to his body prior to going on stage, as business expenses.
While the court found the meat and supplements to be a personal expense because they could be consumed by anyone, they did grant the Dairyland bodybuilder his other write-offs. In its written decision, the court declared the oils and tanning products deductible because they were marketed only through bodybuilding magazines and were not generally for sale through "normal marketing outlets."
No. 1: Free beer
Businesses come up with all kinds of novel ways to attract customers, but perhaps no promotion was as inspired as that of the gas station owner who gave his customers free beer.
In the 1982 case of Sullivan v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court allowed a service station operator to deduct the cost of beer he offered to his customers free of charge while their vehicles were being filled with gasoline or serviced.
The court stated that a small business owner "can offer free beer to beer lovers" to improve business. Such an offering was a legitimate business expense and, thus, tax deductible, according to the court.
Of course, the court didn't weigh in on the wisdom of letting your customers chug beer before driving away from the pumps.

ISAT Reading Performance Definitions
Grade 5
Exceeds Standards • Meets Standards • Below Standards • Academic Warning
Students who exceed standards demonstrate a strong comprehension of text beyond their grade level. They use structural and context clues from across an entire passage to determine vocabulary meaning and accurately apply knowledge of synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms and to interpret idioms and analogies.
Students demonstrate an understanding of text by identifying explicit and implicit main ideas and key details, and they consistently make connections between information found in several points in a passage. They use evidence implicit in the text and prior knowledge to accurately draw inferences and conclusions and to extract concepts. They reach conclusions about character traits and how they influence events, and they understand complex or subtle themes or messages. They examine content and structure to determine author's purpose.
Students make accurate predictions about outcomes based on information in a passage. They distinguish fact and opinion, understand cause and effect, and analyze elements of text that indicate persuasion. They analyze the function and impact of literary devices and figurative language. They can differentiate genres through analysis of text.
Students use information from multiple locations in the text to interpret charts, diagrams, and graphs. They efficiently locate information and follow multi-step directions.
Students who meet standards demonstrate an overall comprehension of grade-level text. They use context clues within sentences to determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. They recognize words used as synonyms and antonyms and use context to determine the meaning of idioms and analogies.
Students recognize explicit main ideas and details and can identify supporting statements. They draw inferences and conclusions using textual support and prior knowledge. They use clues to determine primary character traits and how these traits motivate actions. They infer the author's purpose based on information directly stated in the text. They can identify the correct sequence of events and recognize events that affect later actions. They understand important themes.
Students at this level make predictions about outcomes. They understand fact and opinion, cause and effect, and elements of persuasion. They examine the purpose of literary devices and figurative language and differentiate literary genres.
Students use text features to interpret charts, diagrams, and graphs to reach logical conclusions. They locate information and follow directions.
Students at the below standards level demonstrate an incomplete understanding of grade-level text.
They inconsistently use context clues to understand unfamiliar vocabulary, struggling when the context involves subtlety.
Students are generally unable to differentiate main ideas from developmental details. They struggle to draw inferences and conclusions. They can identify facts about characters but are seldom able to analyze character traits. While they can identify plot elements in text, they may be unable to connect events to future actions. They do not generally understand themes.
Students may make obvious predictions but struggle with subtle clues. They focus more on literal statements, failing to grasp implicit ideas. They can identify obvious facts and opinions and cause/effect relationships, but they only occasionally recognize elements of persuasion. They recognize the use of literary devices but lack the skills to realize their impact. They seldom differentiate literary genres.
Students find information when it is directly stated but are unable to use parts of a chart, diagram, or graph to form a conclusion. They struggle to follow directions.
Students at the academic warning level have a limited comprehension of grade-level text. Due to a weak understanding of grade-level vocabulary, they cannot determine the meaning of unfamiliar words.
Students often confuse main ideas with supporting details. They are generally unable to draw inferences and conclusions. They have few insights into aspects of characterization, and a lack of comprehension prevents them from following a sequence of events and from understanding general themes.
Students are unable to make predictions accurately. They may be able to identify an author's broad purpose, but there is little or no recognition of the use of opinions, of cause/effect, or the presence of persuasion. There is little familiarity with literary devices or genres.
Students misuse or ignore headings, bold print, and numbering to decipher text. They are generally unable to follow simple directions.

My LO is 19 months old. On Tuesday I am having surgery on a broken elbow and I am worried about how I am going to handle nursing LO.
It is outpatient surgery but I think the first 24 hours they won't let me nurse since I'll be coming off anesthesia and on pain medication. I don't know what to do or how to get through it with LO.
I don't want to wean him, I want to keep nursing him.
Does anybody have any ideas please on how I can get through those 24 hours with LO after surgery? Has anyone gone through anything like this? A

Vt. lawmakers give in on tax changesMay 13,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER— Vermont lawmakers say they're giving up their effort this year to make the state's income tax more progressive.
The move came after Gov. Peter Shumlin insisted he wanted no changes.
Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell says lawmakers had been pushing for capping the home mortgage interest deduction and making other changes designed to get more revenue from high-income taxpayers and less from middle- and lower-income Vermonters.
Lawmakers have been maintaining that the changes are revenue neutral, but Shumlin says his aides' calculation show they would raise millions of new dollars.
Campbell says lawmakers will take up the issue when they come back in January.
Meanwhile, he says he's still hopeful they can wrap up their business for 2013 by Tuesday evening.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

Dealing with infertility and the difficulties of becoming pregnant can be a devastating experience for many women who are still in their child-bearing years.
Infertility can start anywhere in the female reproductive system. For example, the ovaries are one place that infertility may take place while the fallopian tubes are another.
Causes of infertility range from tumors to cysts to name a couple. Some women may not even have anything wrong with their reproductive organs to be infertile, but may have low levels of the hormone progesterone which works right along with the hormone estrogen.
Progesterone helps the female body prepare for conception, pregnancy and helps regulate the menstrual cycle. The main role of progesterone is maintaining pregnancy. When a women becomes infertile from not having enough progesterone, her doctor may prescribe her an over the counter fertility drug to help stimulate her ovaries to release eggs for conception.
Clomiphene is a type of fertility drug that is taken as a pill is one drug that is used most often. Brand names include Clomid, Milophene, and Serophene.
Clomiphene should be taken at the end of each menstrual cycle once a month and should never be overdosed or taken for more than twelve months at a time.
Another type of infertility drug, gonadotropins, costs more and is harder to use than Clomiphene.
When a woman trying to become pregnant isn't releasing any eggs from her ovaries, fertility drugs cause these ovaries to release mature eggs once a month.
There will be side effects when taking fertility drugs. Some of these side effects include breast tenderness, mood swings, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and blurred vision. Clomiphene has been known in the past to cause ovarian cysts. Although the cysts are not cancerous, they can be painful and usually go away within 1-2 months after quitting Clomiphene.

Political Intervention, Corporate Governance and Firm Performance: An Empirical Investigation in Japan and Taiwan
This paper investigates the interaction of government and financial institutions in the operation of a company through the relationship of the main bank system and the system of amakudari (appointing retired bureaucrats to the boards of public companies). Consistent with resource dependency theory, the empirical results suggest that governments and financial institutions tend to appoint representatives to the board in order to help troubled companies. However, a negative relationship is established between the presence of such amakudari and subsequent firm performance. Thus, while the system of amakudari may use its influence in an attempt to save troubled companies, it is possible that, as suggested by agency theory, the monitoring ability of the board may consequently be jeopardized to the detriment of overall firm performance.

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Like every winter, I'm anxious for this one to end. Not particularly because it's been cold here in Columbia, SC, but because the end of winter means the beginning of baseball season. Pitchers and catchers for many teams reported to Spring Training today, and while the Indians aren't required to report until next week, many of them are in Arizona already preparing for the upcoming season.
Which is why, when I read the title of this article, I smiled a bit and started to read.
Wake me up when September ends
Today is August 27th, which means football season is nearly upon us. More importantly, though, we're just over a month away from the baseball postseason. It's been a pretty odd season (actually, it's been a pretty odd month of that season), so I figured I could look back at my predictions from before spring training and see how they're stacking up. In fact, I'll be classy about this and get started…wait for it…after the jump! (I've always wanted to say that.)

Tara Ragan, Allmendinger's business manager, said she couldn't comment much on the situation but did say Allmendinger is a health conscious person and that they are working with the race team to go through the process. "It was shocking to us," she said. "We're all a little bit shell-shocked and getting our heads around what happened. We are working closely with the folks from Penske to work through the procedure with NASCAR." Ragan said she could not comment on whether he will ask for the B sample to be tested.(Sporting News)(7-9-2012)

Before she could be fully reconciled with God and the Church...

PITTSBURGH, PA (August 23, 2007) – Passenger traffic grew by 3.5 percent in June 2007, compared to June 2006, at Pittsburgh International Airport (www.FlyPittsburgh.com) according to the June 2007 Scheduled Airline Traffic Report prepared by the Allegheny County Airport Authority. Seven airlines reported increases, three of which showed gains of more than 20 percent.
General aviation operations were up about 3.6 percent at both Pittsburgh International Airport and Allegheny County Airport due in part to corporate jet traffic related to the US Open Golf Tournament in Oakmont.
June 2007 is the fourth month this year to show year-over-year passenger growth – 946,379 in 2007 vs. 914,766 in 2006. This is significant because in all of 2006, only two months indicated year-over-year positive passenger growth.
"The first half of the 2007 has shown consistent growth as passengers are taking advantage of different airlines and lower airfares. June's increases also reflect the launch of the busy summer travel season in Pittsburgh," said Kent G. George, Executive Director, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
Delta Air Lines reported a 27.9 percent increase in passengers (83,212 June 2007 vs. 65,078 June 2006), a gain of more than 18,000 passengers. Southwest Airlines added more than 26,000 passengers for a 22.9 percent increase (143,550; 116,825), while AirTran Airways gained almost 7,000 passengers (36,761; 30,112).
Those three were followed by United, which increased 13.1 percent (71,472/63,192), American, which showed a 9.3 percent increase (41,537; 38,016), Continental had a 6 percent increase (43,317; 40,849) and Midwest, which showed a gain of 4.8 percent (9,575; 9,139).
JetBlue had 27,774 passengers in June 2007 and began service at Pittsburgh International Airport on June 30, 2006.
The increases reported by the seven airlines outpaced the losses reported by US Airways, which showed a decrease of more than 63,000 passengers for a 13 percent loss comparing June 2007 with June 2006 (422,768; 485,978). Northwest (45,331/45,464; 0.3 percent), USA3000 (14,290/15,080; 5.2 percent) and Air Canada (3,877/4,076; 4.9 percent) were the only airlines to report decreases in traffic.
Airport-wide, year-to-date figures show traffic 1.4 percent ahead of last year's pace (4,957,272/4,888,445; 1.4 percent).

Name at birth: Issur Danielovich Demsky
After World War II, Kirk Douglas worked in the movies, making his mark in 1949's The Champion. During the 1950s and '60s Douglas was a savvy and bankable star, varying from intense dramatic roles in Paths of Glory (1957) and Seven Days in May (1964), to playful entertainments such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). He also formed his own production company (later he transferred the rights to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) to his son, Michael Douglas) and tried his hand at directing movies in the 1970s, including Posse (1975). Although his position as a box office draw diminished, he continued to turn in fine performances on television and in films such as The Man From Snowy River (1982) and Tough Guys (1986, co-starring Burt Lancaster). Slowed by a stroke, Douglas nevertheless appeared in the 1999 movie Diamonds. He also starred in 2003's It Runs in the Family, appearing with his ex-wife Diana, his son Michael and his grandson Cameron Douglas. Kirk Douglas was nominated three times for Oscars, but never won until 1996, when he was given an honorary Oscar for his 50 years in the business.

Surprise! Team Obama Doesn't Want Senate Voting On Obama Fiscal Cliff "Plan"
First we had Harry Reid, Democrat Majority Leader in the US Senate, refusing to allow any vote on Obama's fiscal cliff tax 'n spend plan, calling it a "stunt". Following that we get
(National Journal) The White House on Thursday dismissed as political mischief Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's offer to bring President Obama's fiscal cliff plan to a vote on the floor, conceding the proposal would not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
"We don't have 60 votes in the Senate," White House press secretary Jay Carney said, adding the White House was "very confident" that Democrats support the principles outlined in Obama's plan, which has met with derision among Republicans.
Carney called McConnell's Wednesday challenge "the kind of political games that aren't serious."
Interesting. The only people who would filibuster Obama's "plan" would be …… Democrats!
The GOP wants a vote on the "plan" in order to force Democrats to go on the record as to their support for said "plan". Both Reid and Obama understand that it would be very embarrassing for Obama's "plan" to receive few, if any, votes from Democrats, which would expose (NMP) Obama's position as being extreme and economically foolish. And the plan is foolish. It fails to address the underlying issue of the US government spending too darned much while simply scapegoating upper middle class people and higher. And adding more spending.

Holiday Wine-Buying Guide From the Experts
Greg Majors, wine director at Craft in Manhattan, says whether you're looking for the perfect pours for your holiday parties or wine gifts, you should always begin by determining how much you are willing to spend.
For intimate dinners of up to five people, Majors says he would be willing to spend up to $40 per bottle. For larger parties, he looks for good-value wines that cost less than $25.
How does he find good-value wines? These days, when almost everything -- including the price of wines and wine reviews -- is searchable online, Majors says the best place to start is still the local wine store.
"If you are a wine novice and you don't know what to serve your guests, choose from the staff picks section of your wine shop," Majors says. "Those tend to be more value-oriented."
What to Bring to a Holiday Party
Giving a bottle of wine as a holiday gift can be tricky. Once you've figured out how much you're willing to spend, the next question becomes: What is the appropriate wine to give?
Roberto Paris, wine director at Il Buco in Manhattan, says that if you're invited to a holiday dinner, a good bottle of sparkling rose is the safest bet.
As an alternative to champagne, Paris recommends Ferrari Rose NV ($37) and the Cavalleri Rose ($58).
"Some people prefer reds, others whites. But a good bubbly will satisfy anyone," Paris says. "Sparkling wines are also very versatile. You can drink them before, during and after dinner."
For the wine collector, he suggests the Giulio Ferrari, which retails for around $100.
"If you are aiming to impress, Giulio Ferrari is a good choice. It can compare with any vintage champagne at a fraction of the price," Paris says.

I was recently visited by a campaign volunteer, which turned out to be a very disturbing and upsetting visit.
This volunteer started out by telling me she noticed the campaign sign on my fence.
She began to talk negatively about the candidate.
I asked her if she was there to campaign for someone else.
I told her I would gladly listen to what she had to say.
She very briefly told me the other candidate's name, who the candidate was related to but not one word on the candidate's qualifications.
She continued the negative trash on the one whose sign is on my fence.
I let her know I did not like negative campaigning, would not listen to it or participate in it.
She continued anyway, going on to the mayor's race.
I repeated to her my unwillingness to listen or participate in the conversation.
I turned my back to go into my house. That's when she started on me.
She told me I did not go to city council meetings, I did not know these people and (are you ready for this?) I should not even be voting.
She told me I had no business voting if I didn't "know" the candidates.
Excuse me, but I was not aware we had to pass a knowledge test on candidates before we can vote.
Yes, we have an obligation to know their stand on issues and ideas, but who are we to judge.
I refuse to be bullied into voting on any candidate, and a volunteer behaving this way is not doing their choice of candidate any good.
We need to encourage people to run for office, to serve and to give back to our community and to society; not be discouraging for fear of the negative campaigning they may have to face.
I grew up in Bayside, and when I moved back a year and a half ago, I was quite impressed by the progress and community pride I found in Bayside.
This was not through the power of one, but of several collectively.
We may not all get to see all of our preferred candidates win, but we should respect the wishes of the voters, put our differences aside and agree to work together for the betterment of our community.
I will be voting on May 10.
