Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition in a child that results from alcohol exposure during the mother's pregnancy. Fetal alcohol syndrome causes brain damage and growth problems. The problems caused by fetal alcohol syndrome vary from child to child, but defects caused by fetal alcohol syndrome are irreversible.
There is no amount of alcohol that's known to be safe to consume during pregnancy. If you drink during pregnancy, you place your baby at risk of fetal alcohol syndrome.
If you suspect your child has fetal alcohol syndrome, talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis may reduce the risk of problems such as learning difficulties and behavior issues.
The severity of fetal alcohol syndrome symptoms varies, with some children experiencing them to a far greater degree than others. Signs and symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome may include any mix of physical defects, intellectual or cognitive disabilities, and problems functioning and coping with daily life.
Physical defects may include:
Problems with the brain and central nervous system may include:
Problems in functioning, coping and interacting with others may include:
If you're pregnant and can't stop drinking, ask your obstetrician or other health care provider for help.
Because early diagnosis may help reduce the risk of long-term problems for children with fetal alcohol syndrome, let your child's doctor know if you drank alcohol while you were pregnant. Don't wait for problems to arise before seeking help.
If you've adopted a child or are providing foster care, you may not know if your child's biological mother drank alcohol while pregnant — and it may not initially occur to you that your child may have fetal alcohol syndrome. However, if your child has learning and behavioral problems, talk with your child's doctor so that the underlying cause might be identified.
When you're pregnant and drink alcohol:
The more you drink while pregnant, the greater the risk to your unborn baby. Your baby's brain, heart and blood vessels begin to develop in the early weeks of pregnancy, before you may know you're pregnant.
Impairment of facial features, the heart and other organs, including the bones, and the central nervous system may occur as a result of drinking alcohol during the first trimester. That's when these parts of the fetus are in key stages of development. However, the risk is present at any time during pregnancy.
The more alcohol you drink during pregnancy, the greater the chance of problems in your baby. There's no known safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
You could put your baby at risk even before you realize you're pregnant. Don't drink alcohol if:
Problem behaviors not present at birth that can result from having fetal alcohol syndrome (secondary disabilities) may include:
Call your child's doctor for an appointment if you see any signs or symptoms that concern you.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Before your appointment:
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your child's doctor. For fetal alcohol syndrome, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your child's doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
If you report the timing and amount of alcohol consumption, your obstetrician or other health care provider can help determine the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. Although doctors can't diagnose fetal alcohol syndrome before a baby is born, they can assess the health of the mother and baby during pregnancy.
Your child's doctor can watch for signs and symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome in your child's initial weeks, months and years of life. Early diagnosis and provision of services can help improve your child's ability to function.
Diagnosing fetal alcohol syndrome requires expertise and a thorough assessment. To make a diagnosis, doctors assess:
The doctor may also assess:
Many features seen with fetal alcohol syndrome may also occur in normal, healthy children or in children with other disorders. If fetal alcohol syndrome is suspected, your pediatrician may refer your child to a developmental pediatrician, a neurologist or another expert with special training in fetal alcohol syndrome for evaluation and to rule out other disorders with similar signs and symptoms.
The range of consequences from drinking alcohol during pregnancy are collectively called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, as not all signs and symptoms are present in all children with the disorder. This range includes:
If one child in a family is diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, it may be important to evaluate his or her siblings to determine whether they also have fetal alcohol syndrome, if the mother drank alcohol during these pregnancies.
There's no cure or specific treatment for fetal alcohol syndrome. The physical defects and mental deficiencies typically persist for a lifetime.
However, early intervention services can help reduce some of the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome and prevent some of the secondary disabilities that result. Intervention services may involve:
If you know or suspect you have a problem with alcohol or other substances, ask a medical or mental health professional for advice. If you've given birth to a child with fetal alcohol syndrome, you may benefit from substance abuse counseling and treatment programs that can help you overcome your misuse of alcohol or other substances. Joining a support group or 12-step program such as Alcoholics Anonymous may help.
The psychological and emotional problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome can be difficult to manage for the person with the syndrome and for the family.
Children with fetal alcohol syndrome and their families may benefit greatly from the support of professionals and other families who have experience with this syndrome. Ask your health care provider for local sources of support for children with fetal alcohol syndrome and their families.
As a parent of a child with fetal alcohol syndrome, you may find the following suggestions helpful in dealing with behavior problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome. Learning these skills (sometimes called parent training) can include:
A stable, nurturing home is the single most important factor in protecting children with fetal alcohol syndrome from some of the secondary disabilities they're at risk of later in life.
Doctors haven't identified a safe level of alcohol that a pregnant woman can consume. But experts do know that fetal alcohol syndrome is completely preventable if women don't drink alcohol during pregnancy.
These guidelines can help prevent fetal alcohol syndrome:

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Heyo, new to the forum. Back when I was younger I had a Ruger GP100 4" stainless. I really miss that gun. I've also been looking at the semi-auto styles too and so far I'm liking the glock, ruger and sigs. I've held each but haven't fired any.
Next week we're having another gun show and I'll be looking to get one. So I got a week to decide what unless I run across my GP100.
Yea, that Ruger was a nice piece. Don't know your budget but revolvers are great for self defense and there are some good ones out there.
Check out the Walther PPS when you look at autos - it's a great pistol and a good carry size.
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum, you will find a lot of folks who stand ready to help at any time you post.
Hey guys, thanks for the welcome. I'm trying to stick to around 500 but you know how that goes.
Hey there. I am from Columbus as well (we are not really talking about football or hockey today :-()
Where is the gun show at next weekend?
Well dang.. you got me to look it up again and I musta looked at the dates wrong. It's end of next month. Guess that makes sense, since they had one at westland mall yesterday and today. Heh, if I would have known that I would have bought me one today.
Franklin County Veterans Memorial
300 West Broad St.
Columbus, OH. 43215
Show Dates
Nov. 29 - 30, 2008
Jan. 31 - Feb. 1, 2009
Welcome from southeast Texas.
Welcome. I'm new to the forum just like you. But, you can help me.
I am 2 hours from Columbus and am told there is a big gun store that just opened near Buckeye Lake. Have you heard of it and any info?
I am in an area with nothing. 12 miles from Cabelas but its in WV. You pay for the gun, then pay $35 to have it shipped to a dealer in Ohio and then pay for the background check. No deals there.
Welcome from Northern Arizona
I have one of the Blue GP100's like your old one but I'm not letting it go.
You need to get a new one plus an Auto. Take a look at the S&W M&P series they are in the $400 to $500 range and work real good.
I'm leaning towards the auto for now, eventually I'll get my ruger back. Gandermountain in Hilliard had one but it had the new grips that I don't like.
Last edited by Yjeepin; 10-30-2008 at 05:50 PM. Reason: added question
Hey guys, I think the gun store you are talking about is Buckeye Outdoors. This is right next door to Bukeye Lake in Hebron.
It is an awesome store however it is a partner of Vances in Columbus so as you can imagine they have really nice stuff but deals are few and far between and when they do have a good deal, they advertise it in the Sunday paper and they only have one in stock. So as soon as the paper goes out, there is a line a mile long at the door fighting over 1 gun.
Thanks for the info. Found it on a google map. You say it has a good selection, but are they expensive? I am close to Cabelas and I only buy there when something is on sale, now they are high.
However, I can not buy a gun at Cabelas. Way to high. It could be on sale, but I am in Ohio and the Cabelas is across the river in WV. They want $35 to send it to a dealer in Ohio and a $25 ID check. There went the sale price.
How are the prices at Buckeye Outdoors? I will be in Columbus next week.
I probably phrased it wrong, the prices are not high, however they are not cheap either. I would do a little research on a few websites like gunbroker.com and others to see what a fair rate for what you are looking for and talk to the sales rep there. Sometimes when I have purchased there, they have knocked $35-50 off and other times there prices were in line with other stores. One thing I do understand though is that it is cheaper for a company like buds to sell online because they do not have the overhead that Cabalas and Buckeye Outdoor do so you pay a little more for the atmosphere and knowledge of the sales man IMO
Looking forward to the trip now.
I actually am heading there today myself. They had an add in todays paper and I am interested in a few guns they have.
#1.) an 870 with field barrel new wood stock for $199.00
#2.) The Judge (410/45) for $399.00
I think these are pretty good prices but we will see if there are any left.

I like the old uniforms. But I also like the uniform numbers on the shoulders, so maybe a melding of the two.
I really dont like the 80's unis or white pants. The giants should keep what they have now as the main set. I dont mind a game or two with some sort of throwback but just keep it at that.
Well if the change in uniform will ward off the mid season crap-fest, I'm ok with the white pants and numbers on the sleeves. "ny" has to stay though.
the ny should stay on the helmet, for sure. GIANTS sprawled out all over the sides isn't as good. however, it should return underneath the collar again. having ny on both the helmet and jersey is redundant
Giants should use blue pants as an all blue alternate uniform. It would look awesome.

Just saw this thread elsewhere, hope you don't mind if I pop the link in here too, it's a great bathrug too! laid out roughly_NOT sewn together
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just saw this thread elsewhere, hope you don't mind if I pop the link in here too, it's a great bathrug too! laid out roughly_NOT sewn together
Thimblebug: Thanks for linking, might have missed it otherwise.
Got started on mine and decided to just do it scrappy, a different fabric for each square, only the fabric C staying the same. Have three done so far. I'm loving it! Thinking about going on and making it throw size.
These are all lovely. Such a good idea 'virtual quilting retreat'
I'm a little behind, life keeps getting in the way of sewing. But I finished the Mat!!!
This is my first time doing FMQ on my machine. I kind of did a stitch in the ditch following just some of the lines, and forgetting about others. Since this is for Mojo to lay on I did put the binding on with my machine. A quick wash to get all the threads off it and then in the mail.
Thank you Carolyn for a fun retreat, for helping me learn and getting rid of extra fabric.
Here is the back,
More scraps gone and a towel!
I am so happy everyone enjoyed the retreat. I Love piecing and making beautiful bed quilts, but I have to say sometimes the near instant gratification (comparatively) of starting and finishing a project in a weekend or so really is a nice change.
I love what everyone has done, it is so very cool to see different takes on the same design.
I urge everyone to branch out and just give things a shot, NEVER EVER let instructions get in the way of creativity!
I am going to be putting a strip of the left over fabrics (I bought extra when designing) on the bottom of a bath towel set (body, hand, face) and giving a set to each niece and nephew this year for christmas. Fast, easy and fun project, not to mention personable for each child. Of course there is the added benefit of doing some totally obnoxious mixes like the one in the tutorial to really bug my sister yes, after 30+ yrs of being grown up, it is still fun to irritate each other in a good way
Since everyone had fun and look forward to another, I will be searching out some new weekend retreat projects and have another virtual retreat, so be on the look out! It was a pleasure leading you ladies and helping
Great job to all! *ps pls dont stop posting pictures of finished projects, I still wanna see
I'm still doing the quilting on mine, but am "goofing off" today!
I still only have the 2 blocks done, I am a serious slacker, will work on it in the morning tomorrow though
Carolyn, Thanks so much for doing this. I had a change of plans with my mat. My machine would not cooperate trying to quilt through a towel. I gave up fighting with it. Decided to turn mine into a future baby quilt. Will either add another block to each of the three rows or perhaps add multiple boarders. It won't go to waste and I do like the way it turned out.

Linux user since before Yggdrasil, Unix before that while with the real AT&T.
anybody know where I can get a copy of manslide? seems to have disappeared.
I've been using photo flash maker, it very easy to make a slideshow with music and get it burn on dvd.
Support adding photos & music
Provides numerous transitions & effects
Provides hundreds of amazing templates devided in 4 categories
Support adding hyperlink to photos
Output standalone & XML-driven photo gallery
Burn auto-run CD/DVD
Upload photo gallery to Go2Album, social websites and your own website
FYI - Given that Photo Flash Maker is a Windows only program, are you running it under WINE? If so, do all features work? Which version of Photo Flash Maker are you using - platinum, pro or free?
Linux user since before Yggdrasil, Unix before that while with the real AT&T.
I've never been happy with still photos on DVD. Image quality stinks when the photos are reduced to the 720x480 of DVD -- especially if viewed on a large screen.
Solution I like is a play list on one of those media player set top boxes like the Viewsonic VMP-70 (~$90) + the cost of a USB stick. Will display video up to 1080p and on an HD set the photos automatically get resized to the HD display which look way better than any on a DVD.
The VMP-70 has Linux inside too!
Your commitment to Freedom is measured by your tolerence for others doing things you disapprove.
I have been using dvdslideshow for over a year now and I am quite happy with it.

Upgrading the hood of your Corvette is a sure-fire way to give it a distinctive look that sets it apart from other Corvettes. There are many different styles of aftermarket hoods available for C4, C5, and C6 Corvettes, and many give the additional clearance needed if you're installing a supercharger or turbo setup; however, you don't need these mods to change your hood-just the desire to give your ride a different look. I always liked the aggressive look of the stinger hood on my big-block '67 427 Corvette, so that's the look I wanted to endow my C5 with. The hood came from Vanacor's Corvette Parts, and to make the installation a bit easier, I obtained hinges and latches from Contemporary Corvette. After fitting the new hood, the car was driven to Ultimate Collision Center where the prep, paint, striping, and re-installation was performed using DuPont Automotive paint products exclusively.
Anytime you're installing aftermarket fiberglass parts, a lot of massaging is required to get the fit and finish the best it can be, and installing this hood was no exception. However, it's best to get all the fitting done prior to painting so that you don't inadvertently mess up that nice new paint job. Just make sure to scribe marks for the hinge and latch locations on the hood once you're satisfied with the fit. So, here's what it took to do the job.

I got a 95 don post helmet on ebay for a mere 80 dollars its even auto'd by Jeremy. Any thoughts as to why the price was so low? I don't think its because of warp but you can check some pics here www.angelfire.com/clone/myfettcostume/helmetpics.html
it has a slightly smooshed in right side but other than that the only bad thing I can find about the helmet is that it was worn by a smoker. But after 3 days and almost an entire bottle of febreeze it smells tolerable.
BTW I can't get myself to repaint it cuz the auto is my only of Jeremy Bulloch

I used to feel forlorn whenever I checked my e-mail and found nothing waiting for me. Not much risk of that these days. There's always someone who wants to help me lose 32 pounds, or clean up my tarnished credit report, or get me that college degree I skipped in my reckless youth. Absolute strangers send me tips on the stock market and ideas for starting a new business that I could run with a laptop computer from my new condo in Hawaii. Then there are the ill-considered schemes to share the ill-gotten gains of African dictators, as well as a voluminous and varied stream of messages that are best described as indecent proposals.
When the very first of these missives began appearing in my mailbox, some years ago, they were mildly intriguing, like messages in bottles washed up on the beach. I had to wonder—in the millisecond before I hit the delete button—who had sent them and from where and why. Most of all I wondered for whom they were meant, since they were clearly of no use or interest to me. By now, of course, the sense of mystery is long gone. The occasional message in a bottle has become a daily tide of wrack and flotsam; it's as if whole cargoes are being dumped overboard to litter our shores; an unstoppable oil slick of oleaginous marketing sludge slops into every e-mail inbox around the world, wave after wave and day after day.
The very efficiency and convenience of electronic communication gets some of the blame for this flood of unwanted and thoroughly unloved junk e-mail. By dramatically reducing costs, the Internet makes it economically feasible to blanket the globe with boring sales-pitch messages, even if only the tiniest percentage of the recipients respond. But if technology created this problem, maybe it can also contribute to the solution. Or are social and legal remedies more promising?
It is worth remembering, in this era of Web pages festooned with blinking and bleeping banner ads, and accompanied by pop-ups and pop-unders, that once upon a time the Internet was an advertising-free zone. As long as the U.S. government controlled a major part of the backbone, most forms of commercial activity were forbidden. The occasional violations of this rule attracted swift and severe retribution. For example, in 1978 Digital Equipment Corporation (since absorbed into Compaq) sent a notice about a new computer system to 600 subscribers on the arpanet, one of the ancestors of the Internet. The message was immediately labeled a "flagrant violation" of government policy, with the assurance that "appropriate action is being taken to preclude its occurrence again."
The rules changed in 1993, as the Net was privatized, but social strictures on indiscriminate advertising remained powerful for some years. In April of 1994 a message with the subject heading "Green Card Lottery- Final One?" was posted simultaneously to 6,000 Usenet news groups. The advertisement, signed by the Phoenix law firm of Canter & Siegel, offered information and legal services to immigrants. Thousands of Usenet regulars—incensed not only by the commercial nature of the message but also by the waste of bandwidth and the breach of "netiquette"—hounded Canter & Siegel by e-mail and fax and telephone. The lawyers' Internet access was cut off, and eventually the firm went out of business; Canter was disbarred. There have not been many such victories in the fight against spam.
As it happens, the Canter & Siegel incident was the event that first popularized the term "spam." According to Brad Templeton, a Usenet pioneer and current chair of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, certain small online communities had used the word earlier to describe various kinds of unwelcome verbiage, but it was the Green Card affair that made it widely known. The ultimate source was a 1970 skit on the British television show Monty Python's Flying Circus, about a restaurant with a limited menu and a chorus of Vikings chanting "Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, lovely spam." (Incidentally, Hormel Foods, who make SPAM rather than spam, attempted a defense of their brand name, then decided to have a sense of humor about it.)
Although spam today is mainly a plague of e-mail, the Canter & Siegel ad and several other early examples were never sent as mail; instead they were posted to news groups. The Usenet news service is especially vulnerable to spamming because the complete list of groups is freely available to everyone, unlike e-mail addresses, for which there is no central directory. Furthermore, because a single news group can have many readers, and a single reader may look at many groups, posting to a few thousand groups annoys millions. E-mail, in contrast, is generally one-on-one, and it takes more effort to cause the same amount of consternation.
In view of the vulnerability of the news system, it's encouraging to report that the Usenet community was able to organize itself to cope with the problem, if not solve it. Both manual and automated controls have been put in place, allowing a message that can be identified as spam to be removed or at least flagged as suspect before it reaches the reader. (One of the anti-spam protocols is called NoCeM, pronounced "no see 'em.") Of course there is the potential for abuse by individuals who maliciously cancel legitimate postings, but safeguards are available, and the system seems generally to be working. Some spam still gets through to news groups, but the noise level peaked several years ago, and in most groups it is now quite tolerable. On the other hand, part of the reason that spammers leave Usenet in peace these days may be that they just don't care: Only a small fraction of Internet users ever look at news groups.
In the case of e-mail, the magnitude of the spam crisis is hard to pin down, but there is certainly a widespread perception that the amount has mushroomed in the past year or two. Lately the problem has been getting frequent attention in both the popular and the technical press, and there have been several recent conferences and workshops to explore remedies. The Internet Engineering Task Force has just formed an Anti-Spam Research Group. At the governmental level, the Federal Trade Commission has taken an interest (although not, as yet, much action). About half the states have enacted laws on spam; federal legislation is the subject of intense lobbying efforts on both sides. Elsewhere, the European parliament has adopted a stern policy, but their success in enforcing it is not yet known.
The statistics on e-mail spam that appear in news reports come mainly from companies that sell products and services for combatting spam. One of these vendors, Brightmail, Inc., says that spam made up 8 percent of all e-mail traffic in 2001 but had grown to 36 percent by the middle of 2002 and was over 40 percent by the end of last year. Postini, Inc., another company providing anti-spam services, reports that the proportion of spam in the mail they monitor climbed from 20 percent in January 2002 to 60 percent by December. I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of these figures, but it is only fair to point out that the companies' own interest lies in emphasizing the severity of the crisis.
A few consulting firms and foundations have also surveyed the volume of spam. Jupiter Research estimates that the average e-mail user gets about 2,200 spams a year, and the Gartner Group says that corporate e-mail is 25 to 35 percent spam. But a discordant note comes from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, which surveyed 2,500 Internet users, asking only about e-mail they receive at work. Half said they get no spam at all in their workplace accounts, and 71 percent reported no more than "a little."
Out of curiosity, I have been keeping track of spam in my own in-box for the past few months. From November 2002 through March 2003 I received 1,571 items that I would unequivocally classify as spam; another 287 are doubtful cases. The total number of messages received in the period was 6,028. Even giving the benefit of the doubt to all the doubtful ones, this tally suggests that I'm getting more than my fair share of spam when measured in absolute numbers; at this rate, I can expect almost 3,800 spams a year rather than the 2,200 predicted by Jupiter Research. Yet the proportion of spam in my mail is only 26 percent, less than the averages reported by Brightmail and Postini, and near the low end of the Gartner estimate. (Obviously, percentage measurements are sensitive to the amount of both spam and nonspam mail.)
Spammers are said to harvest most of their addresses on the World Wide Web. My address has been posted on the American Scientist Web site for eight years, which may have something to do with my popularity among the spammers. But there's more to the story. Another of my e-mail accounts has never been published on the Web or anywhere else, yet it attracted more than 70 spams.
Classifying my mail as spam or nonspam took more thought than I expected. Of course there are many echt spams that I could recognize in an instant, without glancing beyond the subject line: "Eat pizza, watch TV ... and lose 22 pounds," "Absolutely FREE - Receive $610.00!!!" I have a hard time believing that anyone would actually want to receive some of these messages. The worst of them can only be understood as "trolls," deliberately meant to be annoying, and thereby to provoke the recipient into responding—thus verifying that the e-mail address is valid.
Alongside these blackest of spams, however, there are also shades of gray—mail that I don't want and that I didn't ask for (or at least I don't remember asking for it) but that might conceivably interest someone else and that comes from a source I know. For example, when a certain scientific society of which I'm a member (not Sigma Xi!) sends me seven invitations to register for its annual meeting, is that spam? What about a catalogue merchant from whom I've made purchases in the past and who, unbidden, sends me weekly sales flyers? Or an employment recruiter looking for candidates to fill a job? Would it make a difference if the job might interest me? Then there's my cousin Larry, who sends everyone in the family a continuing stream of chain letters, urban legends and unfunny jokes. Is Larry a spammer?
I find it worthwhile to distinguish between mail that comes from a known source (my bank, my travel agency, my cousin) and mail whose sender is unknown and perhaps unknowable. Some of the mail from identified sources may well be unwanted and indeed may qualify as spam, but at least there are direct ways of dealing with the issue. I can call my bank, or have a word with Cousin Larry. The anonymous spam is a harder problem. I have no reliable means of throttling back the glut of e-mail I get from YourShoppingRewards and Freddys-Fabulous-Finds.
Spam is often defined as "unsolicited commercial e-mail," and indeed almost all of it that I'm receiving currently appears to have some commercial purpose. Whoever is sending this junk is trying to make money out of it (although it's not always obvious how). Still, lots of noncommercial bulk mail would be equally unwelcome. An early Usenet spam—even before Canter & Siegel—had the subject header "Global Alert For All: Jesus is Coming Soon"; the aim was to save souls, not earn bucks, but readers were just as unhappy with the author. Spam wars can also break out between political factions or over issues such as abortion or the death penalty. (If I were a spammer, I would make 10 percent of my mailings political, just to bolster the freedom-of-speech argument against regulation of bulk e-mail. I hope I haven't just given someone an idea.) In any case, plans for controlling spam should probably not be tied too closely to its commercial nature.
In the early years of the Internet, dealing with miscreants was remarkably straightforward. Although Net lore and legend celebrate the lack of any central governing body, the network was actually run by a cohesive community with shared aims and values. Any serious breach of the rules could be punished by expulsion—by canceling the violator's account. The situation is different now. If Hotmail kicks you out, you just move over to AOL or MSN. Furthermore, Net pariahs with enough resources can set up their own Internet service provider.
Yet the power to isolate renegade sites has not been lost entirely. You cannot easily reach out and unplug an offending node of the network, but you can set up your own system to ignore any information coming from that node. In particular, a system administrator can configure an Internet router so that it refuses traffic from selected sites. Some years ago Paul Vixie, who conceived several early Internet protocols, began publishing a list of network nodes from which spam was emanating. This Realtime Blackhole List, or RBL, is now maintained by a nonprofit organization called MAPS. For subscribers to the RBL, the listed sites become black holes—no e-mail can get out, and in some cases traffic of all kinds is blocked. The weapon is quite blunt, in that it stops not only the spam but also other innocent communication. The rationale for this policy is that legitimate users of a blacklisted service will exert pressure to shut down the spammer so that they can again reach the outside world. It's rather like keeping the whole class after school until someone turns in the naughty child. Not everyone approves of this strategy, and there have been several lawsuits against Vixie and MAPS. Meanwhile, spammers cope by keeping on the move and by disguising their whereabouts.
Other approaches to filtering out spam try to block only the offending mail. The filter can be installed on the individual user's computer, on a mail server or farther upstream. Much ingenuity has been brought to bear on designing filters. Also on evading them.
The simplest kind of filtering uses static criteria to sort incoming mail into various folders or directories. For example, a filter might reject any mail that comes from "Bargain Blizzard" or that has "inkjet" in the subject line. But the spammer's response is all too easy: The sender becomes "Blizzard of Bargains" and the subject becomes "i-n-k-j-e-t" or one of a thousand other variations. There is also the problem that a friend writing for advice on an inkjet printer may have a hard time getting through.
Large-scale services such as Brightmail and Postini cannot hope to keep up with the evolving spam ecosystem by hand-crafting filter rules. The key to their methodology is to set up thousands of "honeypots"—e-mail accounts whose only purpose is to attract spam. Since these addresses should have no legitimate e-mail sent to them, messages collected there can serve as templates for filtering the stream of mail going to the service's subscribers. In this way one of the essential, defining characteristics of spam—the fact that it goes simultaneously to thousands of addresses—is turned into a weapon against it.
Another mechanism for building filters is based on the collaborative effort of thousands of people performing the routine daily chore of sorting their e-mail. If you are participating in such a cooperative network, then every time you mark a spam message for deletion, a copy of the e-mail is sent to a central repository; there many such reports are gathered and compiled into filter criteria. When the same message arrives again, addressed either to you or to another participant in the cooperative, the mail is automatically shunted to the spam bin. This idea originated with Vipul Ved Prakash, a San Francisco programmer, who created a public-domain program called Vipul's Razor. A commercial version called SpamNet has been in testing for the past year. The SpamNet cooperative has more than 300,000 members.
Schemes that filter out only identical copies of a known exemplar message have a serious weakness: The spammer can overcome them by making each copy of a mailing slightly different, perhaps by adding a few random characters to the text. (Presumably, this explains subject headers such as "Married, Lonely, and home alone ! 2563SEpT0-115eltW64-18.") Brightmail reports that 90 percent of all spam messages are now unique, and so more-elaborate algorithms are needed to establish a match between a template and a target. The SpamNet technique is vulnerable to the same countermeasure, and so again the filter cannot rely on a simple, exact match. Given many copies to examine, however, an algorithm can determine which regions of the message are constant and which are variable, and thereafter focus only on the stable, identifying features. But already a counter-countermeasure has appeared. It is "scramblespam," where random characters are not a minor addition but make up most of the message, typically with the actual content of the ad embedded in an image. Cloudmark, the company behind SpamNet, reports it has recently devised an algorithm for identifying scramblespam.
Yet another filtering strategy abandons the whole idea of matching messages to templates and simply looks at the statistical properties distinguishing desirable e-mails from spams. This idea began to gain momentum last summer when Paul Graham, a computer scientist best known for his books on the Lisp programming language, circulated an article titled "A Plan for Spam." It soon emerged that similar principles were already familiar and well-developed in other fields, such as automated text analysis and computational learning theory. By the time of a conference on spam held at MIT in January, several variations of the algorithm were being actively explored.
The statistical filtering process requires a reasonably large corpus of e-mail messages, already divided into spam and nonspam categories so that they can serve as a training set. The program breaks messages down into individual words and other "tokens," recording the number of appearances of each token in the two groups of messages. The resulting frequency tables give the probability that any spam or nonspam message contains a specified token. Furthermore, from the same information it is also possible to calculate the inverse probability: Given any token, the tables determine the probability that a message containing the token is either spam or nonspam. New messages are classified by finding the most "interesting" tokens—those whose probabilities are closest either to 0 or to 1—and then computing an overall composite probability that the e-mail is spam. In Graham's experiments, the probability distribution turned out to be strongly bimodal: Most messages were either close to 0 or close to 1, with few in the middle. His reported error rate is about five per 1,000 for false negatives (spams that squeak by as legitimate mail), with no false positives (legitimate mail misidentified as spam).
Graham argues that a filter based on the entire content of a message cannot be evaded without altering the content itself. "It would not be enough for spammers to make their emails unique or to stop using individual naughty words," he writes. "They'd have to make their mails indistinguishable from your ordinary mail.... Spam is mostly sales pitches, so unless your regular mail is all sales pitches, spams will inevitably have a different character." The argument seems compelling and the results so far are impressive, but the real test will come when such filters are widely deployed, putting pressure on spam authors to invent countermeasures.
Purely technical remedies are not the only option for controlling spam. There are also legal and economic maneuvers, as well as a few tricks of social engineering.
At last count 26 states had enacted some form of law imposing sanctions on bulk e-mail, but many spam opponents are lukewarm about these remedies, worrying that regulating the spam business will tend to legitimize it. Most of the laws take an "opt-out" approach, meaning it's the recipient's responsibility to get off the mailing list rather than the sender's responsibility to obtain permission first. The guidelines adopted by the European Union require an "opt-in" mechanism. But whatever the details of the law, enforcement is always problematic because e-mail crosses jurisdictional boundaries so readily.
Another legal tactic is to forbid concealing or disguising the origin of e-mail, on the principle that spam can usually be stopped if it can be traced back to its true source. Proposed changes in the Internet protocols for transporting e-mail would have the same effect, making it more difficult to send messages with a forged identity.
Economic remedies would shift the cost of spam from the recipients back onto the senders. It now costs only $99 (according to some spam I received) to spew out a million e-mails. At that price it could well be profitable to irk and inconvenience 999,900 people in order to swindle the most gullible 100. A small tax or fee imposed on each message might restore the balance. Paying a penny per message, the ordinary user would hardly notice the charge, but a spammer sending 100 million e-mails would face a bill of $1 million. The catch again is enforcement and jurisdiction.
Scott E. Fahlman has proposed a variation in which the fee would be paid directly to the recipient. Under this plan, e-mail software would accept a message from unknown correspondents only if the sender agreed to pay for "interrupt rights." The charge could be waived retroactively at the recipient's option, so that nonspammers would never actually have to pay.
Most of the social and economic anti-spam schemes would work only if a large majority of e-mail users were to adopt them. Assembling that majority is the challenge. Indeed, if we could achieve universal agreement on the issue of spam, there would be no need for strategy at all. The very simplest approach would suffice: We could just say no. In the end, all that's needed to defeat spam is for everyone to ignore it. But that doesn't seem to be happening so far. Looking at the 1,571 tantalizing offers in my mailbox, I don't feel the slightest itch to buy anything, but someone must be taking the bait.
Even if all the filters, blackhole lists and other measures fail to abolish spam, efforts to control it are still worth making. They can reduce the volume. They might even bring us better spam: In order to get through to reluctant or jaded readers, advertisers will have make their spam more appetizing. Live with it long enough, and you might develop a taste for the stuff. Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam.

MIDDLETOWN -- Cheyanne Horvath didn't throw a single pitch on Friday but most certainly was in line for a save as the Middletown Mustangs held off the St. Helena Saints 6-4 in a North Central League I softball game in Middletown.
Horvath, the Mustangs' third baseman, made a leaping grab on a line drive headed to left field in the top of the seventh with St. Helena runners at second and third. The Saints (1-3), who trailed 6-0 after three innings, had already scored once in the seventh and were looking for more when Horvath's glove intervened.
"She jumped up and snagged it," Middletown coach Barry Glosser said. "It probably would have scored two runs."
Middletown (2-2, 5-6) scored four times in the bottom of the first and twice more in the third to open up a big lead. Ashlyn Welton's two-run single capped the scoring in the bottom of the first.
Winning pitcher Renee Edwards went the distance, scattering four hits, striking out seven and walking two.
"She pitched exceptionally well," Glosser said.
Shut out through five innings, St. Helena finally broke through with three runs in the top of the sixth.

text: My only complaint with the 2022 is the reassembly procedure. You have to make sure that the barrel is positioned correctly so the slide stop goes thru the elongated hole is the locking lug. Once you do it a few times, it's easier to do, but no other Sig has this feature. It's similar in design to the 1911, but you have to deal with spring tension while you're putting back together. I've shot 1911's for many years so it's second nature for me, but it does confuse alot of people. If you move the slide forward, it should free the barrel. If the slide is jammed solid, find a competent gunsmith, he should be able to free it. Whatever you do, dont' try and force the slide, you may cause internal damage. Hope this helps.

Upon reading that, I realized, my life so far has gone by without having sighted a single nut-tree or a fresh nut. However, living in Houston has come to be a boon in certain ways. Over the years, we have come to know this city to be a melting pot of cultures owing to its bustling oil and gas industry. As a result, this place is dotted with food joints representing a variety of cuisines and specialty grocery stores from around the world, Mediterranean being one of them.

Excerpt: "Lost in the spotlight that rightfully shown on New York Giants rookie running back David Wilson and his record-setting night was the record-setting night of third-year safety Stevie Brown, who added two more interceptions to his team-leading total (7).
The interceptions themselves, as impressive as they are, aren't the story. The story is what Brown has done once he's gotten the ball in his hands … and that is run.

PlayBook: Loria And The League
Jeff Loria is a liar and a thief, but he wouldn't be either without the help of Major League Baseball.
It takes a clinical, throat-cutting kind of candor to be as big a bastard as Marlins Owner Jeff Loria is. To so selfishly scoff at the system that made you and spit in the face of every fan who ever bought a ticket to see The Show. To burn all the bridges that brought you to Big Leagues and giddily piss on your island of ashes while the lynch mobs linger all around. It takes a special kind of asshole to pull the trigger on that kind of coup; but to do it twice inside ten years takes something else.
Back in '94, when Loria was chomping at the bit to buy a professional baseball team he seemed wholly harmless; just another outlandishly wealthy art owner looking for another masterpiece to hang on his mantle. Back in the 90s, buying professional sports franchises seemed fashionable for people with way more money than they knew what to do with to do and so Loria, not wanting to look out of place with the in-crowd, bought into the Expos for next to nothing (about $50 million give or take) and soon afterwards, sold the Expos back to the league for substantially more while simultaneously trading up to take control of the Marlins.
He did this with relatively little opposition from the league, who applauded his sheparding of the failing franchise to Washington (what both parties, Loria and the League, really wanted all along) and overlooked the fact that he had just made millions in MLB dollars flipping a franchise like you might a flip rickety old house with a few fresh coats of paint and some flowers.
But he didn't stop there. Loria's shrewd business making continued in Miami in spite of baseball, that is, with little regard for the game; after the Marlins fielded what may have been their most successful team in 2003, Loria hosted Florida's second greatest fire sale, dispatching the World Series winners' most valuable assets around the league in a move that saved the franchise (and Loria) millions all the while continuing to cry wolf about money management in a small market (Miami for the record is the 8th largest metropolitan area in America). For the next nine years, and pardon the pun, the Marlins would flounder.
So it came as kind of a surprise (to anybody not paying attention) that after a decade of doomed baseball in Miami, the Marlins and Loria were suddenly ready to make a splash (I'm sorry). After muscling the municipal government (using what else, strong arm scare tactics of league approved relocation) into building Miami a brand-spanking new $634 million dollar stadium, Loria set forth on promises to the fans and the city that this year he would finally field a competitive team in exchange for their undying love and support (read: cold hard cash).
But he was true to his word: the Marlins went on an Opening Day spending spree, bringing in coveted free agents like Jose Reyes, Mark Beurhle and Heath Bell to play alongside their already established (and getting expensive) superstars, Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson and Anibal Sanchez. And fans flocked: the Marlins wrangled over 2.2 million people in attendance last year, up almost 750,000 from years past and the best mark since their inaugural season in 1993.
More fans obviously meant more money for Loria but the mean old bastard wasn't done. With wins still hard to come by, Loria, in his new tax-payer funded monstrosity and amid record piles of revenue, held yet another fire sale midseason, shipping staples Anibal Sanchez to Detroit and Hanley Ramirez to the Dodgers. Net savings: $31.5M dollars.
But the feather in Loria's cap came this past week, just a year after all the promises and good faith stadium building and fan support when he sent the rest of team, a failed 69 win experiment but literally the last dregs of hope Miami fans might have had that Loria was interested in anything other than money to Toronto. With Josh Johnson, Mark Beurhle, Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonafacio and John Buck all on their way north of the border, the Marlins are left with about eight marginal players with marginal salaries on the books for 2013; by 2014, that number drops to two. And the fans? Fuck 'em, them and the city that just shelled out over half a billion dollars for a bunch of half-talented hacks to play in a state-of-the-art new, revenue-rich stadium.
And that's the thinking of Jeffrey Loria. He's making Frank McCourt money now using Frank McCourt methods. We said it takes a special kind of asshole to be able to hang this kind sham on an entire city and still sleep at night and it does: you have to be heartless with absolutely no love for the game. But to do it twice takes something else; it takes a league with little to no moral fiber and even less concern for the lifeblood of the sport they've supposedly sworn to protect.

The rest of the vineyards (25 hectares) are located in Panzano (6 Km south of Greve): they are planted with Chardonnay used to produce the 'Cabreo La Pietra".
Cabreo was conceived as an Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) wine in order to take advantage of the flexibility provided by the regulations of this type of classification. It allows the great potential of the Tuscan's terroir to produce a variety of high quality wines.

Heartland Blood Centers, the largest blood provider in the Chicagoland area serving more than 71 hospitals including 5 trauma centers in Chicago, northwest Indiana and northern Illinois, is asking residents to come forward to donate blood in wake of an anticipated blood emergency.
Heartland has less than one-day supply of O-negative blood, in addition to alarming low levels of O-positive and Rh negative blood types due to a series of traumas in the last two weeks, including those from stabbings, gun shots and car accidents throughout the region. Heartland is asking donors with these blood types to donate immediately so their blood can be used in emergency transfusions.
"After responding to local hospitals' calls for blood to transfuse babies, trauma victims and patients in extended emergency surgeries, we have a dangerously supply of O-negative blood," said Amy Smith, director of donor recruitment for Heartland. "While we can follow past trends for blood needs, it's impossible to pinpoint exactly what the demand will be and unfortunately, there has been significant need in the past 7 days."
Smith said a short supply is concerning, especially heading into Memorial Day weekend where more parties, more driving and travel occur, and unfortunately, more trauma situations that require O-negative blood.
To donate, visit www.heartlandbc.org to make an appointment at a local blood center or drive.
About Heartland Blood Centers
Heartland Blood Centers, established in 1943, is a not-for-profit, independent blood center serving the Greater Chicago area and Northwest Indiana. They provide service to 71 hospitals in 12 counties including Kane, McHenry, DeKalb, Will, DuPage, Cook, Grundy, Kendall, Lee, Ogle and LaSalle in Illinois, and Lake County in Indiana. Heartland operates under a volunteer donor system with the goal of collecting more than 160,000 units of blood annually. Heartland's first commitment is to meet local blood needs and 100 percent of blood donated is returned to the communities served by Heartland. As participants in a nationwide resource sharing program, Heartland stands ready to assist other parts of the country during severe blood shortages, national emergencies and increased demands by the armed services.

Re: The Path to Hacker Mastery
Which volumes of TCP/IP should I read? (Is the I vol. enough?)
Vol I is enough. After that, you should read books that focus on other networking topics; either Cisco books or network security books. TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. II is the source code for an actual TCP/IP stack implementation and is only useful if you are doing very low-level work and need to test or develop a custom TCP/IP stack. Very few people have ever read it. Vol III is mostly obsolete.
If you think your family will chafe at a career in "Ethical Hacking". Just tell them you're getting into "Network Security" or "Information Security". If they are hell bent on you being a doctor/lawyer/ballet dancer, they'll just have to be disappointed.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — According to a survey conducted by Leger Marketing on behalf of Walmart Canada, Canadians would pay their mom an average annual salary of $161,287 per year.
The survey marks the company's Walmart Mom of the Year Award — the award's second year — which gives people across the country the opportunity to recognize mothers on their special day. Canadians had a chance to nominate the important moms in their lives and asked to describe the qualities that make them special and to share why they deserve to be recognized.
"We're thrilled to bring the Mom of the Year Award back for a second year," said Emma Fox, CMO for Walmart Canada. "This award celebrates moms as both role models and integral members of the community, and gives Canadians an opportunity to say thank you for everything moms do every day."
Walmart's survey also asked Canadians who they thought embodied the quintessential TV mom. The Cosby Show's Clair Huxtable led the poll being named by one in five respondents (21%). Marge Simpson of The Simpsons came in second at 17%. When asked who their mom would be if she was a superhero, 43% said Wonder Woman, followed by the Bionic Woman at 23%. The vast majority of Canadians, however, feel that they do not thank their mom enough for everything that she does and believe that she deserves to be named Mom of the Year (both 79%).
"Being a mom is really a labor of love and though music has always been a central part of my life, the day I became a mother was the day I became who I was meant to be," said Chantal Kreviazuk, Canadian singer, songwriter and pianist. "My journey into motherhood nine years ago renewed my sense of creativity and strengthened my passion for giving back to the causes that are dear to my heart. These things combined along with my commitment to my family continue to help me in my effort to be the best version of me possible."
Professional singer, songwriter and Juno award winner Chantal Kreviazuk; comedian, actress and radio host Sophie Prégent and the 2012 Mom of the Year Katie Schulz will work together with editor-in-chief of Walmart Live Better magazine Sandra Martin and Emma Fox to review the entries and determine the recipient of this year's award.
New this year is the My Finalist public voting, where Canadians will have the chance to review the top 20 candidates and vote for one mom they want to see become one of the eight finalists. Each finalist will receive $10,000 to spend on themselves and the remaining seven will receive $10,000 for the charity or cause of their choice. The Mom of the Year award recipient will receive $100,000 for the charity or cause of her choice. Last year, Schulz's donation benefitted Cystic Fibrosis Canada, an organization she volunteers for in support of her daughter who is living with the genetic disorder.
The Mom of the Year finalists will be flown to Toronto for a day of pampering and an awards gala on October 5. Nominations for the Mom of the Year Award close on June 16 and My Finalist public voting will run from July 4 through Aug. 1. The eight finalists will be notified on approximately Aug. 6.
The survey was completed online from April 22-24 using Leger Marketing's online panel, LegerWeb, with a sample of 1,500 Canadians 19 years of age or older. A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of 2.5%, 19 times out of 20. Leger Marketing's online panel has approximately 460,000 members nationally, with between 10,000 and 20,000 new members added each month, as well as a retention rate of 90%. Panel members are randomly selected to receive email invitations to the individual surveys.
Walmart Canada operates a growing chain of more than 370 locations nationwide serving more than one million customers each day, as well as its flagship online store, www.walmart.ca, which is visited by more than 250,000 Canadians daily.

Noob question: I have a laying worker colony that needs requeening (posting about that as well) and may have to pick up the queen on the day I shake out the hive. I have been told to let the bees find their way back to the original hive once they are shaken out, but to give them two days before introducing their new queen (which I expect to do very carefully, cage etc.).
But what is the best method for keeping the new queen and her attendants alive and well during those two days? I have a nice warm laundry/furnace room to keep them in, btw.
Thanks for the help,

May 2013
This winter, I found myself in a place so remote that if anything went wrong, no help would come. The closest civilization was 30 miles away.
These were the circumstances for my final college course, the Senior Expedition. This course brought together all I learned in the Department of Expeditionary Studies in one final test.
My task was a kayak circumnavigation of the second largest island in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, Isla Angel de la Guarda, with three friends, Dan, Wyatt and Blake. After four months of preparation and a 68-page research paper, the product of another required course, Expedition Theory and Planning, we were going to Mexico.
I've traveled to Mexico before to climb the volcano Pico de Orizaba and the cliffs of El Potrero Chico, but this was to be my first paddling trip.
Learn about our new M.S. in expeditionary studies.
On Jan. 3, after 10 hours of driving down the Baja California Peninsula, we finally saw our destination — the blue waters of The Sea of Cortez and our island, vaguely in the distance. Were we really about to paddle around this thing? It looked huge!
We couldn't even see the ends of the island; this was going to be an adventure.
After a rest day to gather our final supplies, we were off. None of the local residents thought we would be able to complete this paddle since they considered winter to be off-limits for paddling.
As outdoor professionals — I and my entire team worked for Anacortes Kayak Tours Washington state — we were well prepared but quickly learned the source of this attitude … the winds. We had come and trained for winds, but the ones from the north that plagued us each afternoon were surprisingly strong.
Three days in we got to our favorite part of the trip. Coming around a large cliff, we were soon surrounded by hundreds upon hundreds of sea lions. Each beach we passed had at least 200 sea lions on it, and, as soon as they saw us, they started barking and waddling into the water.
This was a little intimidating, but we soon realized they were curious and trying to play. They followed our boats for miles, coming closer and closer. Soon they started bumping our boats, and one even jumped completely over Blake's boat!
After 12 days and 160 miles of paddling, we found ourselves back where we started. The initially skeptical locals, who had been convinced we would die under the strong winds, treated us like returning heroes.
After we agreed to their request to give a talk and slide show of our trip, we were back on the road, far from the remoteness of Isla Angel de la Guarda but, for me, one step closer to graduating from college.
