Cleveland Ends Storm Win Streak 48-41
A late turnover cost the Storm a chance at what would have been their most impressive victory of the season. Tampa Bay fell 48-41 at conference-leading Cleveland on Friday.
Tampa Bay had overcome a 27-14 halftime deficit to tie the game, but could never take the lead. Down 41-34 with three minutes left and driving for a possible tying score instead Tampa Bay turned it over, with Amarri Jackson fumbling.
Cleveland's Shane Austin threw his fifth touchdown pass after the one-minute mark, and although Joe Hills caught his third TD of the game in response for Tampa Bay the onside kick was recovered by Cleveland.
The Gladiators are 13-1 and in line for the top seed in the American Conference, while Friday's loss increased the likelihood the Storm may have to settle for Wild Card entry into the Arena playoffs. That would probably mean a repeat trip to Cleveland.
Tampa Bay is 8-7 with three games left, the next two at tough teams San Jose and Spokane after a bye. Saturday's Philadelphia-Iowa winner will close to within a game but the Storm have the tiebreaker over both teams.
Cleveland looked to have taken control of the game when, with the Storm aiming for a possible halftime lead, LaRoche Jackson returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown at the buzzer putting his team up 27-14.
But Tampa Bay was not deterred, getting long TD catches from T.T. Toliver and Jackson around Darian Payne's fumble recovery to have the game tied midway through the third quarter.
Randy Hippeard threw for five touchdowns, three to Hills to lead the Tampa Bay offense.
Jean Fanor made several big plays on defense, grabbing an early interception, making a key hit on fourth down in the fourth quarter, and forcing a fumble on a third quarter kickoff that Cleveland barely recovered.

Monsoon Rain in India Seen More Than Normal for Third Year
Monsoon rainfall in India, the world's second-biggest producer of rice, wheat and sugar, may be more than a 50-year average for a third year, potentially helping the nation curb food prices and sustain exports.
Rainfall in the June-to-September season may exceed the average of 89 centimeters (35 inches) according to the so-called coupled forecast model, B.N. Goswami, director at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, said in a phone interview from Pune yesterday.
The strength of the monsoon helps to shape India's economic prospects, with agriculture making up about 15 percent of Asia's third-largest economy. Goswami's institute is among those from across the country that feed data and projections to the India Meteorological Department, which is scheduled to release its forecast for this season in the fourth week of April.
"A good monsoon will boost overall farm growth and the economy," Kishore Narne, head of research at AnandRathi Commodities Ltd., said by phone from Mumbai today. "This will help India continue exports of rice, wheat, corn and sugar. It will also help control rising prices of vegetables and stabilize prices of all agricultural commodities."
Inflation (INFINFY) in India was 6.95 percent in February, holding close to a 26-month low. It remains the fastest in the so-called BRIC group of biggest emerging economies that also includes Brazil, Russia and China. The Reserve Bank of India raised rates by a record 3.75 percentage points from March 2010 to October last year, seeking to contain price increases.
Slowing Growth
India's economy grew at the slowest pace in more than two years in the quarter ended December as domestic demand weakened and the global recovery faltered. Gross domestic product rose 6.1 percent in the three-month period, the Central Statistical Office said Feb. 29.
Rainfall from last year's monsoon was 101 percent of the 50-year average, boosting water levels in dams. That helped India produce a record 250.4 million tons of food grains in the year ending June 30, prompting the government to scrap a ban on exports of non-basmati rice and wheat.
The country will remain a net exporter of sugar for a third year in 2012-2013 as supplies exceed domestic demand, the Indian Sugar Mills Association said yesterday. The country expects to have enough food grains for exports till 2014, Food Minister K.V. Thomas said on March 21.
Crop Sowing
Sowing of monsoon crops starts in June and harvesting starts in September. The monsoon typically begins in the southern state of Kerala by the first week of June, before blanketing the entire country by July 15.
"Although a weak El Nino may develop in the later part of the season, the experimental dynamical model still shows monsoon is more likely to be on the positive side of normal," Goswami said. The El Nino weather phenomenon, characterized by a warming of the equatorial Pacific, brings increased rain to South America and drought or reduced rainfall in Asia.
India's 234 million farmers rely on monsoon rainfall to water rice, sugar cane, soybean and lentil crops. The rains also help replenish reservoirs, allowing farmers to use the water to cultivate wheat and oilseeds planted between October and December.

Thanks to recent changes in recycling programs, the last drop does not mark the end of a carton's useful life.
Milk cartons, juice boxes, soup, broth and wine cartons are now recyclable in the Twin Cities metro area.
Cartons are made mostly from high-grade paper with a thin layer of plastic or aluminum. Recyclers are able to separate the plastic and aluminum from the paper to recycle them.
The recycled carton paper fibers are a valuable resource for making new products, such as recycled paper products and even building materials. Some recyclers are using the aluminum and plastic to generate energy or create new products, such as lumber board-like materials.
How to Prepare Cartons for Recycling
To prepare cartons for recycling, give them a quick rinse to make sure they're empty and to reduce the chance for odors. Discard caps and straws.
If you put all your materials into one bin in your curbside recycling program, place your cartons in your bin with all the other recyclables. If your recycling program requires you to separate materials, check your sorting instructions and place cartons in the appropriate bin. Contact your city with any questions.
If you use a recycling drop-off center, ask first since some centers do not yet accept cartons. Learn more about recycling cartons here.

Thanks to recent changes in recycling programs, the last drop does not mark the end of a carton's useful life.
thank you
We host CPY at our church, and it was hard to watch all the waste go in the trash. Thanks to the changes in recycling milk cartons, a major portion of that waste is no longer. Besides reducing waste it gives us a chance to engage and involve about 100 kids a day in caring for earth and others. A win /win for all !

Thanks for sharing your story about recycling at church and getting the kids involved.
I am very excited about this!
I am so happy that cartons can now be recycled! This will really help reduce my garbage even more. Thanks for sharing the information.

Medline ® Abstract for Reference 111
of 'Bacterial vaginosis'
Comparison of tinidazole given as a single dose and on 2 consecutive days for the treatment of nonspecific bacterial vaginosis.
Ekgren J, Norling BK, Degre M, Midtvedt T
Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1988;26(4):313.
Nonspecific bacterial vaginosis, defined as the presence of clue cells, was treated in a randomized, double-blind study with (1) tinidazole 2 g as a single dose (82 patients), (2) tinidazole 2 g on 2 consecutive days (84 patients), and (3) with placebo (81 patients). The cure rates, both clue cells and Gardnerella vaginalis absent, were 51, 74 and 4%, respectively. A closer clinical and microbiological evaluation showed the 2-day regimen to be superior.

Last night, Rep. Diana DeGette (CO-1) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (NY-4) introduced new legislation to make the sale of ammunition safer for law-abiding Americans who are sick and tired of the ease with which criminals can now anonymously stockpile for mass murder.
The bill, called the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, will keep Americans safe by limiting the ability of people planning for mass murder to anonymously purchase unlimited quantities of ammunition through the Internet or other mail-order means. It would also require that ammunition dealers report bulk sales of ammunition to law enforcement.
The shooter who killed 12 and injured 58 in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater this month had purchased over 6,000 rounds of ammunition anonymously on the Internet shortly before going on his killing spree, according to law enforcement officials.
"The senseless violence of the theater shooting in Aurora served once again as a reminder that our nation must do more to protect innocent Americans from the carnage of gun violence," said Rep. DeGette. "It is quite frankly inexplicable that one individual was able to purchase 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the internet, while we had no system in place to raise a red flag. It is basic common-sense to ask ammunition dealers to be licensed and to require record-keeping that provides critical information to law enforcement, while protecting privacy. This bill is a reasonable step to help us do what we can to prevent terrible shootings from becoming mass casualties."
"The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act pulls ammunition sales out of the shadows and into the light, where criminals can't hide and responsible dealers can act as a line of defense against the planning and stockpiling of a potential mass killer," Rep. McCarthy said. "Law-abiding gun owners and shooters should support this legislation because it hinders criminals from abusing the Second Amendment right that our nation promises and could save innocent lives in the process."
The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act works through four components:
It requires anyone selling ammunition to be a licensed dealer.
It requires ammunition buyers who are not licensed dealers to present photo identification at the time of purchase, effectively banning the online or mail order purchase of ammo by regular civilians.
It requires licensed ammunition dealers to maintain records of the sale of ammunition.
It requires licensed ammunition dealers to report the sale of more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to an unlicensed person within any five consecutive business days.
There are indications that there is already an appetite for such a measure among the American public. Even before the Colorado shooting, earlier this summer Internet giant Google changed its policies so that ammunition and firearms are no longer sold through its shopping channels.
A recent Mayors Against Illegal Guns poll of 945 gun owners across America found that 87 percent of NRA members agree that support for Second Amendment rights goes hand-in-hand with keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.
And conservative thought-leaders such as Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch have all publicly expressed acceptance or support for some form of gun regulation since the Colorado shooting.
The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act undoes the dangerous effects of a law advanced by the NRA in the 1980s, as explained by the Violence Policy Center's Kristen Rand:
"Online ammunition sales are the direct result of the NRA's flagship bill of the 1980s, the McClure-Volkmer "Firearms Owners' Protection Act.' Prior to McClure-Volkmer, interstate ammunition sales by common carrier to private individuals were banned, records were maintained of ammunition sales, and ammunition sellers had to be licensed. In today's Internet age the effect of this change can now be measured in untold rounds of ammunition sold to the wrong buyers and all too many lives ended. We applaud the leadership of Senator Lautenberg and Representative McCarthy in working to reinstate this life-saving component of federal law."

Recycling is the latest accolade to make the long list of reasons why bicycles are just plain awesome (and of course eco). That's thanks to Imogen Hedges, a London-based designer who discovered that charity shops sometimes spend hours unraveling sweaters by hand for the simple reason that they can make more money selling the wool than from the sweaters. He created an "un-knitting" machine, built around an old bicycle frame, to facilitate the process.
Much like a regular bike, the contraption needs little more than a well-oiled pair of legs to run. The pedaling motion un-knits a sweater, unraveling the garment as it's pulled along the circumference of the wheel. Wool, which retains its elasticity better than most fibers, works best when derived from continuous lengths of fiber. To eliminate kinks, the yarn passes through the steam of an electric kettle. Finally, it finds its way to a hand-cranked spindle, where it's rewound into a ball, ready to be re-knit.
Imogen Hedges from Rachel Mc Closkey on Vimeo.
When you consider how much waste is produced from clothing every year, there is something quite inspiring about taking something old, unraveling it, and repurposing it into something loved once again.
I have sent many a wool sweater into a charity bin in the past - sweaters my grandmother knit for me as a child that I quickly outgrew, my collection of Felicity-inspired oversized sweaters circa 1999, or even the occasional tacky sweater from Christmas parties past. For those of you who are knitting-inclined (I wish I had your skill and patience) perhaps the machine provides some inspiration for unravelling some of your old gems and turning them into something new.
If you're like me and more likely to drop old sweaters into charity bins, the device could also be great news. Rather than dumping our unwanted sweaters in foreign markets (and distorting them in the process), why not unravel them so that someone can breathe new life into that yarn?

some residual soft skin on left. Height 177cm. Weight 115kg. Had hysterectomy.do not want a flap procedure. can expansion be considered? thank you
I Am a 55 Yrs Old. Double Mastectomy with Radiation on Left Side.
Doctor Answers 7
I am 55 yrs old - double mastectomy with radiation on left side
There are many options to breast reconstruction including implant-based and flap-based procedures. The complication rate with implants following radiation is reported as high as 60-70% in some studies. Flap reconstruction is usually recommended, but there are several centers who perform implants following radiation with great success and results. I typically prefer flaps, such as the DIEP flap. Other flaps are the conventional TRAM, latissimus flap, SGAP/IGAP, and, TUG.
You are a candidate for other procedures, if you are willing to continue with your journey for a reconstructed breast. Flaps such as those above, including others, are available. The decision to continue with this will be your decision and what you are willing to go through. There are risks and benefits with everything that we do in Surgery - discuss the various options with a board certified plastic surgeon who will educate you on all of the options and help you to decided if breast reconstruction or which procedure will be best for you. Hope that this helps and best wishes!
Breast Reconstruction after radiation
Post-radiation expander reconstuction may work
Radiation damages the skin and makes it less pliable and less resistant to infection. However, not every breast is similarly affected. If you do not want a flap, try an expander reconstruction. You may have to compromise the "perfection" or softness of the result, but you will gain in simplicity.
Get the advice of a good surgeon whom you like.
You might also like...
Tissue expander breast reconstruction after radiation usually works.
We do this frequently, and with low complication rate. The condition of your soft tissues (skin and muscle) is important, and you need to find a really experienced plastic surgeon.
Radiation and tissue expanders
Although placing expanders after radiation can be performed. It all depends upon the quality of the tissues. You have to also understand that the risks for infection and wound complications are higher with the radiated tissue.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
Breast reconstruction after radiation
I agree with Dr. Jenson, you have a higher liklihood of complications on the radiated side with expander/implant reconstruction alone. Your best bet is a latissimus flap over expander/implant. This places healthy ,well- vascularized tissue over the implant and takes some of the strain off of the radiated mastectomy skin.
All my best,

Time Travel
Ah, the '50s. That fabled time when the United States was at the height of its affluence and power, and everyone who lived here was happy and middle-class. Except for those who were members of a minority, or gay, or leftist, or poor, or unconventional. In Jordan Harrison's play, Maple and Vine, Katha and Ryu find themselves miserable in their tech-filled, hard-charging, contemporary lives and seize on the opportunity to return to that distant time — a time evoked by conservative politicians with such deep nostalgia.
Chip Walton of Curious Theatre Company saw the play's premiere at the Humana Festival in 2010 and — true to his company's mission of bringing provocative new works to Denver — resolved to produce it. He says he's intrigued by the way it dissects nostalgia. Most of us feel occasionally that we're living in the wrong place and time, he points out, and Maple and Vine "asks some really interesting questions about our relationship to the present moment and the past." It contrasts the limitlessness of our contemporary world with the limitations of previous times, he says: The modern age can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, the rigid limits set during other eras freeing as well as constricting. The '50s becomes a lens to examine race, gender and technology as the play asks, "Would you really be happier if you could go back?"
Maple and Vine opens tonight at 8 p.m. at Curious, 1080 Acoma Street, and continues through February 23; for tickets, $18 to $44, visit www.curioustheatre.org or call 303-623-0524.

I've been working all through Spring Break, so I thought I deserved to dick around with a nonsense piece of artwork for a few hours. I did this little exercise last night. While watching 'The Birds' the other day, the crows collecting in the playground reminded me of the hordes of sour-faced burn-outs that head to the swings to smoke after school. Yeah, I don't know why my mind works that way. Anyway. I thumbnailed a few fashion-y illustrations inspired by this. Titles that were entertained included: "Surly Salad Days," "Goth Recess," "And Twiiiiins" (I apologize profusely for that last one). I may turn this into a series to do in my tiny pockets of free time.
What's that? An excuse to post music? All right. Both these songs have somewhat creepy, almost voyeuristic birds (so I had them on loop). I should start a collection with this theme. And sell it on TV, a la "Buzz Ballads." Here are XTC's "Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her" and Pulp's "Birds In Your Garden."
The response to my first piece for thesis has been really amazing. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing it. I'm planning on doing at least four more from my long list of duos. Flight of the Conchords is already in progress, so maybe they'll be posted next.

Given its unique status as token of national unity, a mirror reflecting Sudan's diversity and a miniature of the country's different tribal components, ethnic, cultural and religious groups, the national capital was singled out by the constitution and devoted to it a special chapter. Article 154 of chapter 10 underscores respect of human rights in the national capital. Article 156 on the dispense of justice in the national capital reads:
a) Tolerance shall be the basis of co-existence between the Sudanese irrespective of their cultural, religious or traditional backgrounds
b) Any behavior stemming from cultural and traditional practices not violating the public order nor degrading other's norms or contravening the law shall be considered by law as exercise of individual freedom
c) Individual privacy may not be violated and courts shall not accept evidence acquired by trespassing such privacy
d) In exercising its jurisdictional powers in meting out sentences against non-Muslims, Courts shall consider the established principle in Islamic Sharia that non-Muslim population is not subjected to the prescribed harsh punishments according to law
e) Leniency and benefit of the doubt in favor of the accused are two law principles required at universal level and in Sudan's circumstances. Interim constitution of Khartoum State for the year 2006 provides that Khartoum, Sudan's national capital, resembles national unity and manifests Sudan's diversity where religions, traditions and cultures are the source of strength, concord, inspiration and basis of national cohesion and where rights of non-Muslims shall be protected according to article 157 of the country's Interim constitution of 2005. Meanwhile, the constitution entrusted the constitutional court with the basic rights and freedoms, deciding constitutionality or otherwise of laws and provisions in being consistent with the constitution, the interim constitution of South Sudan or the concerned state constitution (article 122).
Special Commission for Rights of non-Muslims in the National Capital
Enshrined in the constitution and to protect the principles that religions and beliefs are source of moral strength and worship is availed to followers of all religions and beliefs and that, accordingly, no person shall discriminated against besides that non-Muslims shall not be affected by application of the Islamic Sharia in the national capital, the constitution incepted the special commission for rights of non-Muslims in the national capital to ensure enforcement of the said law provision. The commission accomplished many tasks, including, inter-alia:
In addition, the commission have an action plan in stock aimed at gathering and documenting various tribal customs and traditions, resolving the procedure of swearing on the bible before courts, tackling the shortage of theology teachers in Christian schools, coordinating with the religions coexistence council in the spread of peace culture and policy, settling questions irking non-Muslims in addition to many other projects.

The Pastors Workshop
Essential Relationships for Pastors: The Loneliness of Pastoring, Part 4
This is the fourth and final installment in a series on "The Loneliness of Pastoring." Let me offer a short recap of what I've covered so far.
Part One reflected on the recent suicide of a pastor I knew and how it underscores the loneliness of pastoring. I suggested that the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane exemplifies the experience, as well as showing that Jesus understands how pastors feel. Although we seem to be alone, we are not, because Jesus is with us in our loneliness.
In Part Two, I put forth the thesis that the professionalization of ministry exacerbates aloneness among pastors. Recovering the biblical vision of ministry, in which each member of the body of Christ is a minister, might help pastors be less removed from their congregations.
Part Three explained that all pastors need safe places to tell their "secrets." They need relationships in which they can share their struggles, temptations, and fears, as well as their victories, opportunities, and dreams. In particular, pastors need close friends with whom they can share their true selves. Married pastors can open up with their spouses, though wisdom might require certain kinds of limits in marital communication about the church.
Today, I want to explore two other types of relationships that are essential for every pastor. Pastors who have these relationships not only will feel less lonely, but also will have safety nets to keep them from falling into disaster and coaches to help them excel in their calling.
A Small Group of Pastors
The first type of essential relationship is a small group of pastors: four to twelve people who meet together on a regular basis to share their lives and ministries. In this context, they can receive and offer wise counsel, accountability, encouragement, and prayer.
During my twenty-three year tenure as a parish pastor, I was in five different groups of this sort. Some met weekly, others monthly. Some were local, others regional. Some had a well-defined structure, while others were more fluid. Every group became, after a while, a safe place for my colleagues and I to share our work and our lives: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
These groups weren't perfect, of course. Human groups never are. In every group, some members took genuine risks in sharing their struggles and temptations. They found the help they needed. Yet, in every group, certain members did not share their deepest secrets, much to their own detriment. In several cases, colleagues of mine ended up engaging in behavior that led to the loss of their pastorates. Yet they never risked opening up about their temptations so that we might walk alongside them and help them walk in paths of righteousness.
For me, these groups became invaluable sources of wisdom, support, empathy, accountability, and prayer. This reflected both the high quality of the group members and my own willingness to open my life to them. I am extremely grateful for the impact that these groups had on my life . . . and still do have. Although I'm not serving in a parish now, I am part of a pastors' small group in Texas.

Ripoff Report
UACNationwide USA
UAC repossessed car after I made money gram payment as agreed and future payment arrangements were established. Edina MN
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I called yesterday to make payment arrangements. It was agreed between rep and I that I make 282 money gram and call back with receipt number before 7pst. I did so and was told that it would give me more time to get next payment in. I'd already made 100 payment last week as well. So that totalled a complete full payment. I don't know if it was a typo or glitch on my account but I notice that in one day, my past due days tripled!!! Their explanation was inconclusive and didn't account for 111 days which is incorrect. When I spoke to repo guys, they told me how crappy UAC were and they make mistakes such as these all the time. They instructed that I call UAC and tell them what happen and they will get car back to me. Hopefully so, I have a medical appt in morning and won't be good if I miss it. When I first bought my car, it needed almost $900 dollars worth of work that included supertine belt and other drivable issues that would of been very dangerous and left me stranded. Had I didn't get it inspected and caught in time would of been disastrous!!! I'd just recovered from a car accident and thanks to Car Hop would have been in another. My car was in shop over a week I first bought it and didn't get a rental from Car Hop. My sister had gasoline pouring out of her car and her she has been paying for repairs since she bought it in September, same time I bought mine. Car Hop refuses to buy the right parts and argue with their mechanic who clearly stated that if Car Hop does not buy the necessary parts, in reasonable time, they can't fix it. The mechanics areveven pissed off with Car Hop as well and hesitate working with them. So my sister has a car that UAC keep demanding payments and car is dangerously undriveable. I'm hoping that I can get my car back this morning. My health is depending on it.

Are hand written and each worth 1200.00 dollars a piece totaling 6,000.00. Can i cash them? Are they mine ? If not what should i do with them?
If the payor has not signed them, they are not valid or negotiable instruments. If the checks are payable to another person, you have no legal right to use them. If you attempt to sign or endorse them to yourself or someone else without right, it will be forgery, which will expose you to civil and criminal liability. Checks are generally not like cash, they are more like promissory notes, in that they are a promise to pay a certain amount. However, there are certain situations when checks can be treated like cash, and your situation does not appear to be one of them.
However, you should speak with an attorney familiar with commercial paper/banking to assist you further. After a quick review, the attorney should be able how to tell you how to dispose of them.

No, No, and you could send them back to ETrade.
A hand-written check from ETrade does not sound legitimate anyway. Maybe they are checks written on an individual's account with ETrade, and of course that does not make them yours, either.

Brokerage firm checks generally do not look like this, especially if they're drawn on a local bank. There have been a few cases where a wayward broker will open an account in the name of his brokerage firm, usually for improper investments or other clandestine purposes. You should send the checks to E-trade and explain the circumstances in which they were found. More likely than not, the former owner of your storage unit was engaged in fraud of some kind

Just recently when i have started the car it will idle normally, but if i rev it and have it sit at about 1500-2000 in a few seconds the revs will start to drop even if i put more acceleration it sounds like its going to stall the more i press on it, if i take my foot off it will go back to idleing fine, this is only in the blue (i think) area, after a few minutes its fine, any ideas as to what this could be ?. it has only just started to happen also.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Developing secure software is easy! Just don't have any bugs. Oh, and use security APIs correctly, and make sure your software doesn't have any undocumented functionality or side effects, doesn't have race conditions, and doesn't use unsafe environment variables or any other input, for that matter. It also needs to mediate completely any access to any protected resource. The mediation must be tamper-proof, nonbypassable, and small enough to verify its correctness. Your software's security should support the users' needs. It should also be easy for users to figure out, set up, and inspect, even if they do it only once a year and don't bother to read documentation or stay up-to-date on the latest attacks and defense techniques. All this stuff must not affect your budget, development schedule, or, of course, the functionality of the software you're building (what the customers are really paying for!). Easy, huh?
Joking aside, while security was once a specialty of interest to only a few programmers, it's now a critical topic for almost all software engineers, project managers, and decision makers. This is not only because pervasive software insecurity has been in the news for the last several years but also because all software developers now feel the pressure (or at least expectations) from end users to deliver secure software.
Yet no company can afford to throw away all its existing software and redevelop it from scratch or retrain all software developers to be security experts. This is why we need methods, processes, and tools for improving the security of software created by a wide range of developers with a wide range of resource constraints, development methods, time-to-market schedules, contexts, and organizational and national cultures.
Historically, many publications specializing in security have focused on the development of software for security-critical domains (for example, military, safety critical, and government), where the production cost and time-to-market are, although nonnegligible, of secondary concern. Unlike those publications, this special issue focuses on creating and maintaining secure software by the wide range of developers who constitute the software industry—many who work in domains where cost (both production and maintenance) and time-to-market are the main driving factors.
What's special about software security?
When most people think about software security, they think about authentication, encryption, and access control. All these security features are important, but security features alone don't make a system secure. A system's design and the techniques used to construct it have as much, if not more, impact on the system's eventual security. Why would an attacker break encryption if he or she can just exploit a buffer overflow? Why crack passwords if the attacker can bypass the authentication system entirely by typing a special URL into his or her browser?
When the Internet was younger, organizations tried to cordon off vulnerable software by putting up firewalls. A firewall would protect a vulnerable internal network from the ravages of the unruly Internet. The problem is that customers are increasingly demanding software that communicates and interoperates with other systems. Such programs must be designed and built so that they can handle attacks and intentional misuse.
Software vendors can't solve the digital security problem alone. They have to rely on secure networks and system administrators who think about security when deploying new services. Developers also have to rely on users to make reasonable choices about security. But developers can't just throw up their hands and treat security as someone else's job. Also, techniques for building high-reliability systems won't necessarily help developers build adequately secure systems. For example, redundancy is good for combating independent random events, but an attacker who can force a system to fail can often just as easily cause a redundant system to fail.
In this issue
Getting security right is hard because an attacker—having virtually unlimited time—needs to find only one vulnerability in a system to succeed, whereas the defender—constrained in time—must ensure that the system has no weak points. Software systems are specifically difficult because of their inherent high complexity (Windows Vista, for example, is rumored to comprise 60 million lines of source code), connectivity, and extensibility. On top of that, software systems aren't linear or continuous, which makes their analysis and testing (either functional or security specific) even harder.
Security bugs themselves are harder to catch. They show up not only as a lack of required functionality (for example, missing authentication) but also as incorrect implementations (for example, easy-to-spoof authentication) or, even worse, as unintended, undocumented, or unknown "features" (for example, buffer overflow in authentication). Charlie Lai discusses several such unintended side effects of Java constructs in this special issue. His article, "Java Insecurity: Accounting for Subtleties That Can Compromise Code," examines three fundamental (and language-agnostic) coding guidelines that Java developers commonly follow to ensure their programs are safe: minimizing accessibility, creating copies of mutable inputs, and preventing the unauthorized construction of sensitive classes. But rather than focusing on the guidelines themselves, he explores the subtleties involved in applying them in Java and suggests approaches Java developers can use to account for them in their work.
But before developers can even have a chance to deal with design or implementation vulnerabilities, they need to properly collect and analyze security requirements. The right set of security requirements will lead to security features and an implementation focus that's appropriate for the job at hand, whereas the wrong requirements can lead to a never-ending cycle of security failures and associated finger-pointing. This nontrivial exercise gets even harder if developers who aren't security experts will manage the process. "Security Requirements for the Rest of Us: A Survey," by Inger Anne Tøndel, Martin Gilje Jaatun, and Per Håkon Meland, examines how people elicit and record security requirements for software projects. The authors present their own requirements methodology and argue for bringing security awareness to all participants in a software development project.
Another important security-specific activity that must be properly done during requirements and design phases is threat analysis—the analysis of what can go wrong. Even in theory, building a 100-percent secure yet usable system is impossible, without regard to budget and time-to-market constraints. So, developers must identify and prioritize threats to the system. Only then can they design countermeasures against the most critical threats and build them into the system. Jeffrey Ingalsbe, Louis Kunimatsu, Tim Baeten, and Nancy Mead reflect on their team's threat-modeling experiences at Ford Motor Company. In "Threat Modeling: Diving into the Deep End," they discuss how they applied the Microsoft Threat Analysis and Modeling process to a dozen projects, what benefits they realized, and what lessons they learned.
Despite all the advances in security technologies, development of secure software remains costly. For example, Microsoft has spent over US$200 million since 2003 on its Security Development Lifecycle, according to Steve Lipner, Microsoft's Senior Director of Security Engineering Strategy in Trustworthy Computing. The amount of investment in security is a risk management decision: what's the likelihood of an attack, and what are an attack's likely consequences? Estimating the answers to those questions is tricky. Shari Lawrence Pfleeger and Rachel Rue begin their article, "Cybersecurity Economic Issues: Clearing the Path to Good Practice," with a simple observation: time, money, and good people are always in short supply. So how much time, money, or effort should you devote to security? The authors explore how organizations search for answers and what obstacles they often encounter. They discuss how to gather the right data and make good trade-offs between cost and level of protection. They present a framework for comparing economic security models so that stakeholders can make the right investments in security.
This special issue reports on the state of the practice and recent advances in engineering secure software for the wide range of industrial application domains. The articles explore practical and pragmatic ways of meeting this challenge; we hope you find them helpful in your work.

Can a person who has been adjudicated incompetent, who has a legal guardian,get married in the state of NM, without the guardians consent?.
Question Details:
I don't think so. The guardian should be able to get any such marriage annulled. I'm not a New Mexico lawyer, but my research suggests that some form of identification had to be produced to get the marriage license; if I were the guardian's attorney, I'd be very interested in checking on that. People who aren't competent shouldn't be loose in the world with a driver's license!
The guardian should have an attorney review all the facts, for reliable advice on the best way to deal with this situation. One place to find a lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
States have held that the right to marry is considered very personal and New Mexico is no exception. Based on review of the applicable law, once the "age of majority" is reached (18 in New Mexico) one can marry without the permission of a parent or guardian; it is the couple's sole decision whether or not to marry. However, a parent or guardian's consent is needed if the parties are at least 16 but younger than 18.
That having been said, incompetence can be a grounds for an annulment. The fact that the individual was adjuducated incompetent prior to the marriage taking place would make it void. On these facts I don't think that there can be a valid marriage.
The above is based on my own brief research. For a more definitive answer on the issue a family law attorney in New Mexico should be consulted.

"Interning for a United States Senator was an extraordinary experience," said Greg. "I was very fortunate to intern for an office that was unlike any other in its arena. Influenced by a great leader, the integrity of strong leadership trickled down to the staff. I was able to pick the brains of the senator's senior staff members and learn how to function and succeed as a United States Senate employee."
Upon graduating from VCSU in May 2009, Greg accepted a full time position in Senator Dorgan's office in DC as the Front Office and Tour Coordinator.
A Unforgettable Experience
My internship in Representative Earl Pomeroy's Washington, D.C. office was an unbelievable experience. I interned from August 8, 2010 until November 29, 2010. My internship was full of unforgettable experiences from personally meeting North Dakota's Washington, D.C. delegation of Congressman Earl Pomeroy and Senators Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad to getting a Capital Dome tour to meeting House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to visiting the White House. Outside of the internship, I was able to live in exciting city such as Washington, D.C. which is full of incredible historical buildings, free museums, and so much more.
Over the course of the internship, I was considered an employee in the office and was assigned numerous responsibilities. These responsibilities included answering phones, sorting office mail and constituent mail, compiling clips for the Press Secretary, legislative research, giving tours of the Capital, and other miscellaneous office assignments. Each day brought different responsibilities. The internship provided me with valuable professional experience and connected me with individuals that will be useful contacts when I am searching for a job after graduation. I have learned so much, and I am very thankful for the opportunity I was given to work in Congressman Pomeroy's office. I would recommend this internship to anyone no matter what you major, as this opportunity will provide skills that can be used throughout the professional world, not just in government.

A new study led by a Canadian research team has identified the reason why prazosin, a drug commonly used to reduce high blood pressure, may cause lightheadedness and possible fainting upon standing in patients with normal blood pressure who take the drug for other reasons, such as the treatment of PTSD and anxiety.
According to University of British Columbia researcher and study team leader Dr. Nia Lewis, the body is in constant motion leading to changes in blood pressure with every activity. For example, when standing, the body copes with the sudden drop in blood pressure by constricting peripheral vessels to concentrate the blood in the areas that help stabilize the body.
This study found that prazosin prevents this process by blocking the α1-adrenoreceptor, a critical pathway that allows the vessels to constrict. This physiological response is dangerous for individuals with normal blood pressure who take prazosin to treat the symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, for the act of standing up can cause light-headedness and/or fainting.
The study, entitled "Initial orthostatic hypotension and cerebral blood flow regulation: effect of α1-adrenoreceptor activity," is published in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
Eight males and four females, with an average age of 25, and all of whom had normal blood pressure, were enrolled in the cross-over trial. On day one of the study, participants were weighed, measured, and familiarized with the blood pressure monitoring equipment and procedures that would be used.
On the next visit, participants stayed overnight at the research facility in order to control for activity and diet. The following morning they were given either prazosin (1mg/20kg body weight) or a placebo, and instructed to lie down. After 20 minutes, they were told to rise in one smooth motion from the lying-down position to standing, and their blood pressure and cerebral blood flow was continuously monitored. They were required to remain standing for three minutes or until they felt severe lightheadedness and dizziness, or felt as if they were about to faint.
On their third and final visit the participants underwent the same procedure as on the second visit. At this visit, however, they received the placebo if they had previously been given the medication, and vice versa.
The investigators found that:
• All but one of the 12 participants who took the medication experienced temporary dizziness or lightheadedness upon standing.
• All participants who took the placebo were able to complete the three-minute standing test. By contrast, only 2 of the 12 were able to complete the standing test after taking prazosin.
• After taking prazosin, none of the participants were able to attain normal blood pressure levels after standing. As a result, blood flow to the brain was reduced and subjects were unable to stand for 3 minutes as they began to experience the onset of fainting.
• When the participants had taken prazosin, mean arterial blood pressure and systolic blood pressure was significantly lower -- by 15 percent -- when lying down compared to when they took the placebo. Mean arterial blood pressure also fell for a longer period (11 seconds versus eight for placebo) after participants stood up following consumption of the medication, resulting in a lower arterial pressure levels.
• Blood flow to the brain, as measured by cerebral blood flow velocity, was not different when lying down. However, brain blood flow in the prazosin trial was reduced by 33 percent more than in than compared with the placebo trial.
"We were able to determine that, because prazosin shuts down a pathway that is critical to regulate blood pressure, the capacity to safely control blood flow to the brain was also reduced to a level that could induce fainting," said Dr. Lewis. "No study has examined the effects of prazosin on the interaction between blood pressure and blood flow to the brain. The findings derived from this study show a mechanism of how prazosin causes fainting," she explained.
Importance of the Findings
"This study highlights the importance of a key pathway in the body's blood pressure system, known as the α1-adrenergic sympathetic pathway, in ensuring the recovery of blood pressure following standing and how important this pathway is in ensuring blood flow to the brain is not reduced to a level where fainting may occur," said Dr. Lewis.
Additionally, this study provides a cautionary alert to those who are prescribed prazosin, for other conditions besides hypertension.
Research Team
In addition to Dr. Lewis, the study team was composed of Philip N. Ainslie, also of the University of British Columbia; Greg Atkinson of Teesside University; Helen Jones of Liverpool John Moores University; and Emily J. M. Grant and Samuel J. E. Lucas of the University of Otago.

A Closer Look at the Citra Home
The Citra fire that claimed the lives of five children last night has left a community in shock.
But a man who lived in the house previous to the Jordan family said he was shocked by the tragedy but not surprised the house caught on fire.
The Fire Marshal investigating how the fire started said Tuesday that it will difficult to determine the exact cause of the fire because of the condition of the home.
But Perry Hickman, who lived in that very same house from 2003 to 2004, told us he could rarely plug in more than one electrical device into any plug in the house without blowing a fuse. He also told us the outside heater would constantly blow a fuse. He resorted to using an indoor heater.
Hickman, who had signed a "rent-to-own" agreement with Beyer, said the owner was difficult to reach and did not respond to his many calls complaining of the poor electrical condition of the home.
The Better Business Bureau rated Beyer's rental property business, Otto E. Beyer Enterprises Inc., giving it an "F."
In the last 36 months complaints have been filed. One such complaint lists, misrepresentations of the product or service and high pressure sales practices.
Court records show that Otto E. Beyer and Beyer Enterprises are now in bankruptcy proceedings.
Beyer owns several homes in Marion, Lake and Putnam Counties.
In Marion County alone, records show Beyer has 17 cases of foreclosure, seven of which are still open.
There are no serious code enforcement complaints issued in Marion County for any of the properties owned by Beyer. But in Lake County he had 15 code violations including a leaking roof, sewer issues, and electrical issues.
We tried to contact Otto E. Beyer or a manager at his company, but our messages were not responded.

We can avoid recursion in the special case of division by 2; we define the halve function to be the opposite of double:
halve = $(subst xx,x, \
$(filter-out xy x y, \
$(join $1,$(foreach a,$1,y x))))
By now you've seen all the functions used as part of halve; work through an example, say $(call halve,$(five)) to see how it works.
So, the only tricky thing to do is turn a number entered by the user into a string of x's. The encode function does this by chopping out a substring of x's from a predefined list of x's:
16 := x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
input_int := $(foreach a,$(16), \
$(foreach b,$(16), \
$(foreach c,$(16),$(16)))))
encode = $(wordlist 1,$1,$(input_int))
Here we are limited to being able to enter numbers up to 65536. Once we've got the number in the encoding, only available memory limits the size of integers we can work with.
To really show off this library here's an implementation of a reverse polish notation calculator written entirely in GNU Make functions:
stack :=
push = $(eval stack := $$1 $(stack))
pop = $(word 1,$(stack))$(eval stack := $(wordlist 2,$(words \
pope = $(call encode,$(call pop))
pushd = $(call push,$(call decode,$1))
comma := ,
calculate = $(foreach t,$(subst $(comma), ,$1),$(call \
seq = $(filter $1,$2)
handle = $(call pushd, \
$(if $(call seq,+,$1), \
$(call plus,$(call pope),$(call pope)), \
$(if $(call seq,-,$1), \
$(call subtract,$(call pope),$(call pope)), \
$(if $(call seq,*,$1), \
$(call multiply,$(call pope),$(call pope)), \
$(if $(call seq,/,$1), \
$(call divide,$(call pope),$(call pope)), \
$(call encode,$1))))))
.PHONY: calc
calc: ; @echo $(call calculate,$(calc))
You'll need to be using GNU Make 3.80 or later for this to work. The operators and numbers are passed into GNU Make in the calc variable separated by commas. For example,
make calc="1,3,-,3,21,5,*,+,/"
Will output 54. Clearly, that's not what GNU Make was designed for, and I don't have space here to explain how the calculator transforms its input into calls to our plus, minus,multiply and divide functions, but I hope I've shown you the power of GNU Make functions.
Now go read chapter eight of the GNU Make manual to learn about the other functions that I have not touched on here.
Here's the complete commented Makefile:
# input_int consists of 65536 x's built from the 16 x's in 16
16 := x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
input_int := $(foreach a,$(16),$(foreach b,$(16),$(foreach c,$(16),$(16)))))
# decode turns a number in x's representation into a integer for human
# consumption
decode = $(words $1)
# encode takes an integer and returns the appropriate x's
# representation of the number by chopping $1 x's from the start of
# input_int
encode = $(wordlist 1,$1,$(input_int))
# plus adds its two arguments, subtract subtracts its second argument
# from its first iff this would not result in a negative result.
plus = $1 $2
subtract = $(if $(call gte,$1,$2), \
$(filter-out xx,$(join $1,$2)), \
$(warning Subtraction underflow))
# multiply multiplies its two arguments and divide divides it first
# argument by its second
multiply = $(foreach a,$1,$2)
divide = $(if $(call gte,$1,$2), \
x $(call divide,$(call subtract,$1,$2),$2),)
# max returns the maximum of its arguments and min the minimum
max = $(subst xx,x,$(join $1,$2))
min = $(subst xx,x,$(filter xx,$(join $1,$2)))

ITW's Formula for Innovation
Illinois Tool Works might seem like an unlikely innovation incubator. The 93-year-old company manufactures a hodgepodge of mundane products, from automotive components and industrial fasteners to zip-strip closures for plastic bags and laminates for flooring and countertops. Its R&D outlays, moreover, come to just 1% of sales, a miserly budget for even a bulk commodities producer. Yet ITW (ITW) routinely finishes among the Top 100 patent recipients in the U.S. every year, ranking 66th in 2004 with 301 new awards and 468 applications.
Among its newest inventions: A heater for automobile seats made by printing conductive ink onto a thin, flexible plastic film. Nissan Motor (NSANY) will offer this product, which costs only half as much to make as today's toaster-coil devices, in the 2006 model of its Infiniti G35 this winter.
ITW owes its outsize achievements to an unorthodox business model. Like many old-line outfits, ITW gets most of its growth from acquisitions. It has averaged 28 deals a year over the last decade. But management doesn't merge new units into old ones as most companies do in order to reduce payroll and other expenses. Instead, it retains them as freestanding entities to maintain their entrepreneurial drive and keep them close to their customers. Today, the $11.7 billion conglomerate operates through 665 separate businesses, each with its own P&L statement.
The company also follows an 80/20 strategy, based on the so-called Pareto principle first suggested by management thinker Joseph Juran. With 80% of sales and profits typically coming from just 20% of customers, ITW identified this top tier and lavishes attention on it -- including custom-designed products -- to maximize the return from ITW's personnel and assets.
In August, David Speer, a 27-year company veteran, took over as chief executive. Speer, 54, worked his way up through ITW's construction operations after earning a Bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Iowa State University in 1973 and an MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management in 1977. Sitting in a bare-bones conference room at ITW's headquarters in Glenview, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, Speer talked recently with BusinessWeek Senior Correspondent Michael Arndt. An edited transcript follows:
Let's start out by talking about ITW's decentralized nature. Most big companies focus on consolidation to achieve economies of scale and so-called synergies. You seem to go to the opposite extreme.
Our business model clearly is the antithesis of scale. To begin with, our organizations tend to be small and lean. If I were to look at combining several units, the real cost savings we would wring out would be relatively modest, and the lack of focus we would end up with by consolidating would be tremendous.
This speaks to our 80/20 approach. At many other companies, you would find a disproportionate amount of resources being spent on that 80% of activity that creates only 20% of financial results because everything is judged the same -- all customers, all products, all orders, all markets. When you start scaling things up and putting them together, it becomes harder to get at the underlying data, and the 80/20 proposition is lost fairly quickly.
There's also a greater participation by the employees in running those smaller, more tightly focused units. And that leads to a much greater intimacy with the customer. If you're listening to your customers and what their needs are, you're in a much better position to react than if you're managing much larger businesses that are more concerned about economies of scale.
How does this play out practically at ITW?
A good example is our new seat heater. We started out by looking at warranty costs from the original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, a few years ago. We discovered there was a big issue with seat heaters. They often stop working, and to fix them, you generally have to remove the seat from the car.
We didn't have any seat heaters at the time, but we had this heating element we had developed almost 20 years ago for the side mirrors on your car. So some of our engineers said: What if we put this into a seat? They went through a lot of iterations because this is a different application. In a seat, this has to flex regularly. This has to fit contours, not like a flat piece of film behind a mirror.
The benefit to the customer -- you, sitting in the seat -- is you can adjust the control any way you want, and it will self-regulate the temperature automatically through the resistance in the circuit. The major advantage to the OEM is that the heater can be serviced without pulling the seat out of the car. And because it's an electrical item as opposed to an electrical-mechanical assembly, it's much simpler in design. We're excited about this because it's a patented, proprietary item that adds value and allows us to get a little more money.
Does the 80/20 approach have productivity payoffs, too?
We dedicate production lines and resources to high-volume products. Those lines run only the three or four products, if that's the case, which represent the 80% of that business. We're able to make fewer changeovers with these lines, which enables us to increase the life of tooling on those lines.
Longer runs are more efficient. We're generally able, by physically linking machines, to eliminate work in process and storage areas, which means a smaller footprint. And, of course, all of the material handling and the indirect costs are reduced.
That doesn't mean we don't pay attention to the 80% that create only 20% of the value. It just means you have to look at managing those separately.
I would bet that China and India are big growth markets for ITW. How are you expanding in these markets?
We operate with the basic philosophy that we want to produce where we sell. If I'm going to sell a product in China, I want to produce it in China. If I want to produce locally, then I have to be able to compete locally and make a decent return.
Rarely do we ever get into a geographic market through acquisitions. We like to get our feet on the ground and assess the market and the opportunities with our own local management team first.
Today, we have 21 businesses in China. Only one of those has been an acquisition, and that started out as a joint venture. Now, we've looked at a number of acquisitions in China, but frankly what's available today -- [often] remnants of state-owned enterprises -- isn't particularly attractive. And in many cases, they want to do joint ventures and not sell outright. In our view, the market is not right yet for us for acquisitions.
In India, we have 11 businesses. Two of those started out as joint ventures that are now wholly owned. I think the opportunity for acquisitions in India will be quite good going forward.

I looked underneath and sure enough, there is a huge crack at the weld for the catalytic converter. Took it to a shop, and they told me that both cats and the muffler were bad. Its technically my dads truck and he doesn't want a loud exhaust, so i am wondering if anyone has stock cats or mufflers lying around from after an upgrade. Thanks! Alex

Energy polarization and popular representation: Evidence from the Russian Duma
Grigoriades, Theocharis & Torgler, Benno (2009) Energy polarization and popular representation: Evidence from the Russian Duma. Energy Economics, 31(2), p. 322.
In this article we introduce the term "energy polarization" to explain the politics of energy market reform in the Russian Duma. Our model tests the impact of regional energy production, party cohesion and ideology, and electoral mandate on the energy policy decisions of the Duma deputies (oil, gas, and electricity bills and resolution proposals) between 1994 and 2003. We find a strong divide between Single-Member District (SMD) and Proportional Representation (PR) deputies High statistical significance of gas production is demonstrated throughout the three Duma terms and shows Gazprom's key position in the post-Soviet Russian economy. Oil production is variably significant in the two first Dumas, when the main legislative debates on oil privatization occur. There is no constant left–right continuum, which is consistent with the deputies' proclaimed party ideology. The pro- and anti-reform poles observed in our Poole-based single dimensional scale are not necessarily connected with liberal and state-oriented regulatory policies, respectively. Party switching is a solid indicator of Russia's polarized legislative dynamics when it comes to energy sector reform.
