Using Electrical Resistance Wire Outdoors
I'm working on a project where I intend to use Electrical Resistance Wiring, outdoors, in order to generate as much heat as possible while maintaining safety.
What is a good, durable, material that I could use to insulate the wire while allowing as much heat to radiate as possible?
What are some other good options if Electrical Resistance isn't the best option? I need it to be portable and relatively easy to move.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
where are you located and what are you trying to do?
Sorry, I'm from Canada,
I'm trying use electrical wire/condustor as an heating elemen
Electrical cords are not meant to be used for heating. They may warm up a little under load but if they should get very warm they will be unsafe.
You can get roof heating cables (normally installed zigzagged at the roof eaves) and lay them where you want; you leave them uncovered.
You can get heating strips intended for such purposes as keeping pipes from freezing or for thawing them; the instructions suggest what (if any) kinds of insulation are safe for wrapping the pipe after you put the strip on the pipe.
Both of these heating items plug into extension cords, usually heavy duty cords are needed.
Do not string bare resistance wire such as Nichrome about the place.

Surgery day I felt drugged up, didnt feel at all bad. Day one, I was up moving around a bit and was feeling better. Day 3, I woke up with a headache, a little dizziness, and even vomited a couple of times. My breasts are not hot and I have no fever. is this normal?
Day 2 Loss of Apetite, Headache, and Some Vomiting. is This Normal?
Doctor Answers 4
Pan medication after surgery
Pain medication can cause loos of appetite, nauseous, etc.. you may want to back off the pain meds or see your doctor
Not normal to feel worse at three days post-op
Headache, nausea and vomiting are side effects of some pain medications, like Percocet and Vicodin. Most patients will not get all or most of these effects, but they can be miserable if they occur. Best to call your doctor and check in. If this is a pain medicine side effect, there are alternatives available.
Day 2 Loss of Appetite, Headache, and Some Vomiting. is This Normal?
These symptoms could be side effects of pain medicines. There is not enough info here to make a more educated guess, but I would not call this "normal" and a call into your surgeon could be appropriate.
All the best.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The newly-appointed secretary of the NC Department of Transportation made a stop in Wilmington Friday.
Tony Tata joined other dignitaries at a luncheon hosted by the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. Before the event got underway, Tata addressed his department's decision to issue driver's licenses to qualifying immigrants, saying it's a matter of public safety.
"Most of these deferred action folks were driving anyway and so now, we will have them registered, they will have insurance, they will have licenses and they will be in the database," Tata said.
Tata also said funding has been secured for the building of I-140 across the Cape Fear River into Brunswick county. He says the project will get underway this fall.

AF is only 8x and SSAO is off though, might have to have a play with these boosted.
Unfortunately I can't attribute my frequent shocking in-game performance to the game not running well! :)

Text Mode Cursor
Moving the Cursor with the BIOS
Moving the cursor with the BIOS is done through Int 0x10 (The general interrupt for screen functions) with AH set to 0x02. These are the registers used:
- AH = 0x02
- BH = Display Page (This is usually, if not always, 0)
- DH = The row
- DL = The column
Then, with a quick call to interrupt 0x10, you should have yourself a movable type cursor.
Moving the Cursor without the BIOS
Without access to BIOS calls and functions, moving the cursor requires using video hardware control. Lucky it is a simple procedure.
Note, this quick example assumes 80x25 screen mode. Also note that the base port (here assumed to be 0x3D4) should be read from the BIOS data area.
Source in C
/* void update_cursor(int row, int col) * by Dark Fiber */ void update_cursor(int row, int col) { unsigned short position=(row*80) + col; // cursor LOW port to vga INDEX register outb(0x3D4, 0x0F); outb(0x3D5, (unsigned char)(position&0xFF)); // cursor HIGH port to vga INDEX register outb(0x3D4, 0x0E); outb(0x3D5, (unsigned char )((position>>8)&0xFF)); }
Note that the 2 parameters 'row' & 'col' passed to the function above start from zero, not from 1. And keep in mind that in/out to VGA Hardware is a slow operation. So using the hardware registers to remember of the current character location (row, col) is bad practice -- and updating position after each displayed character is poor practice (updating it only when a line/string is complete is wiser and hiding it until a user prompt is wisest)
Source in assembly
Since BIOS services can't be accessed in 64bit long mode, the following routine shows how to move cursor without BIOS in VGA text 80x25 (can be altered a bit to fit protected mode):
; Set cursor position (text mode 80x25) ; @param BL The row on screen, starts from 0 ; @param BH The column on screen, starts from 0 ;============================================================================= set_cursor: pushfq push rax push rbx push rcx push rdx ;unsigned short position = (row*80) + col; ;AX will contain 'position' mov ax,bx and ax,0ffh ;set AX to 'row' mov cl,80 mul cl ;row*80 mov cx,bx shr cx,8 ;set CX to 'col' add ax,cx ;+ col mov cx,ax ;store 'position' in CX ;cursor LOW port to vga INDEX register mov al,0fh mov dx,3d4h ;VGA port 3D4h out dx,al mov ax,cx ;restore 'postion' back to AX mov dx,3d5h ;VGA port 3D5h out dx,al ;send to VGA hardware ;cursor HIGH port to vga INDEX register mov al,0eh mov dx,3d4h ;VGA port 3D4h out dx,al mov ax,cx ;restore 'position' back to AX shr ax,8 ;get high byte in 'position' mov dx,3d5h ;VGA port 3D5h out dx,al ;send to VGA hardware pop rdx pop rcx pop rbx pop rax popfq ret

Carson City-Crystal Area Schools may have new superintendent by summer
CARSON CITY — The search has officially begun for the new leader of Carson City-Crystal Area Schools.
Bob Swanson retired as CC-C superintendent last August, but remains with the district as a financial consultant. Duane Ellis was hired as interim superintendent after Swanson retired.
The district hired NorthStar Staffing of Clio to organize the search for a new district superintendent.
Carl Hartman, a consultant for NorthStar, gave the school board a progress update at Monday evening's regular school board meeting. He presented a superintendent profile, along with an estimated timeline of the search.
"This profile is a compilation of all board member comments," said Hartman as he read through the desired characteristics for the future superintendent.
Hartman said the top three areas of "experience" desired were finance, curriculum development and good communication skills.
"We all agreed we'd like someone from an area similar to ours," he said.
Hartman said the most desired "personal characteristics" of the new superintendent were ethics and integrity, human relations and the ability to make decisions.
"Leadership and communication keep coming back to the top," he observed. "And 'to be able to think out of the box' came up a few times."
School board members agreed that the job description would include those desired characteristics, in hopes that the best candidates will rise to the top quickly.
Hartman said the job will be posted within the next week or so, but NorthStar will continue the surveying process by asking teachers and staff about what they would like to see in their next superintendent.
"That's good," said School Board President Tom Wilcox. "We've had several inquiries from staff that would like input."
Hartman said applications for the position will be due by the end of April, with a screening of applications following. Several rounds of interviews will follow through May, with the job offered to the top candidate by the end of May.
"By July 2012, we hope to have a supervisor on sight," Hartman said.

Brooklyn Cyclones Presents Third Annual Bark In The Park
It's not every day you can take your dog to a ball game. But on Tuesday, August 24th, the Brooklyn Cyclones invite fans to bring their dogs to the annual "Bark in the Park" baseball game at MCU Park in Coney Island. Cyclone's fans and their canine friends will have the opportunity for an exciting "dog's day" of fun as the Cyclones take on the Hudson Valley Renegades.
Sponsored by the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and Maddie's Fund®, the Pet Rescue Foundation, Bark in the Park will feature dog and cat adoptions from Brooklyn-based Sean Casey Animal Rescue, low-cost microchipping for dogs and cats, and great photo ops for the kids with "Maddie," the six-foot Miniature Schnauzer mascot from Maddie's Fund.
Fans will also enjoy other ballpark specials, including free "Property Of" T-Shirts, presented by Men's Senior Baseball League to the first 2,500 fans who arrive. And KRAFT will offer KRAFT Singles Tuesday Night Tickets: buy 1 Ticket, Get 1 Free from KRAFT Singles with purchase.
(Bring your package wrapper to a Cyclones game on Tuesdays for a steal of a deal. Visit kraftsingles. com for more information; exclusions apply).
The dogs and cats for adoption from Sean Casey Animal Rescue, a Mayor's Alliance participating organization, will be waiting to meet new adopters from 4:00 - 9:00 pm in front of MCU Park on Surf Avenue on a mobile adoption unit provided by North Shore Animal League America, another Alliance Participating Organization.
The Mayor's Alliance will also offer low-cost ($25) microchipping for dogs and cats to the public and ballpark guests during this time. Microchipping your pet is one of the best ways to ensure you and your pet can be reunited should your pet become lost.
It's safe and simple: a tiny capsule about the size of a grain of rice is inserted under the loose skin on the back of your pet's neck, providing no more discomfort than a vaccination.
The game begins at 7:00 p.m., but ticket holders and others interested in adopting a pet or having their pets microchipped are encouraged to arrive early.
"We're delighted to continue our sponsorship of this fun-filled, pet-friendly event for the fourth straight year," said Jane Hoffman, President of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals. "It's a wonderful example of the kind of community involvement that can make a tremendous difference in the lives of homeless animals by increasing their visibility in the public eye."
Watch the Maddie's Fund mascot fire up the crowds, pose for photos, and toss out the ceremonial first pitch at 6:30 p.m. The bleacher section of the stadium will be reserved for those who bring their pooches to the game.
"The Mayor's Alliance, Maddie's Fund, and the Brooklyn Cyclones share the goal of fostering positive family experiences," said Brooklyn General Manager Steve Cohen. "By teaming up for Bark in the Park, we hope to connect pet lovers and baseball fans for an exciting evening of family fun."
About the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, Inc., founded in 2002 and powered by Maddie's Fund®, The Pet Rescue Foundation, with support from the ASPCA, is a coalition of more than 150 animal rescue groups and shelters working with Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C) to end the killing of healthy and treatable cats and dogs at AC&C shelters.
To achieve that goal, the Alliance, a 501(c)(3) notfor profit corporation, helps its Alliance Participating Organizations (APOs) work to their highest potential to increase pet adoptions and spay/neuter rates, with the goal of transforming New York City into a no-kill community by 2015. www.Animalalli ance NYC.org.

The Los Angeles Lakers hope Pau Gasol proves to be a FAST healer.
The forward will have a Focused Aspiration of Scar Tissue (FAST) procedure performed on both knees. The ultrasonic process is considered minimally invasive.
"After talking to several specialists, I'm going to proceed to regenerate both of my patellar tendons and working hard to get back to my 100%," Gasol posted on his Twitter account.
The Lakers said a timetable for Gasol's recovery won't be known until after the procedure.
Knee problems were part of the reason Gasol appeared in a career-low 49 games this season. He averaged 13.7 points and 8.6 rebounds, his lowest figures since joining the Lakers in 2007-08.
The 32-year-old Spaniard is heading into the final year of his contract. He'll make more than $19 million in 2013-14.

A high level of wind and solar use would not increase costs or emissions from power plants that have to start and stop frequently to balance the grid, according to a study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
The study was based on simulations of power generation along the west coast. It was prompted by concerns that intermittent wind and solar energy could cause higher maintenance costs and emissions for coal and natural gas plants that have to fluctuate their loads to make up for drops in renewable energy production.
But the study's simulations showed that while the frequent cycling of fossil fuel plants would cause higher maintenance costs, they would be used far less because of high levels of solar and wind generation.
Solar: Texas claims cheapest solar installations, as prices drop nationwide
With one-third of the grid along the west coast running on wind or solar energy, fossil fuel costs would drop $7 billion annually in that region, the study said.
Maintenance costs at fossil fuel power plants would jump as much as $157 million annually, but those costs would be far less than the savings resulting from higher renewable energy usage, the report said.
At the same time, using solar and wind to make up 33 percent of the grid on the west coast would cut carbon dioxide emissions at least 29 percent, while reducing nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions by at least 16 percent and 14 percent, the report said.
A prior phase of the study found that there would be no technical barriers to integrating as much as 35 percent solar and wind energy into the grid on the west coast.

Appleton Post-Crescent (Newspaper) - October 6, 1959, Appleton, Wisconsin Pick Conservatives In Britain Voting Macmillan 'Absolutely Sure' Party Will Win Thursday, Odds Against Laborite Victory Rise flood of bets went down on the conservative party today to win a third term, and the odds against victory for the opposition la- borites rose. Odds on the conservatives dropped to 2 to a bettor had to put up to win from the bookie in case of j a conservative victory in the national election Thursday. Odds against the laborites went out to 2 to 1, promising S2 from the bookie for each bet if labor wins. The conservatives had been quoted as favorites by Brit- ain's legal bookmakers ever the campaign started three weeks ago, but the odds had been about "4 to 5 in re- cent days. The labor party was quoted at even money over the weekend and at 6 to 4 yesterday. Prime Minister Harold Mac- millan said he is "absolutely sure" his conservative forces will win.

Gaitskell pledged a labor government would -pursue a "good neighbor" policy abroad. Hitting once again at the conservative government's 1956 attack on Egypt with the French and Israelis, he said the laborites would "Never use force except in self-de- -fense" and would "Always-try to 'get- disputes settled peace- fully.'.'

Meanwhile, Morgan Phil- secretary of the labor party, criticized Macmillan for pitching 'the conservative cause on the claim he was the original ice-breaker of the cold war and the driving force be- hind the whole summit idea. Gaitskell in his television talk said there "really is no difficulty about finding the money" for the home front program the laborites are promising. Sales Tax Off "Tax revenue increases au- he asserted. "That is why I find it difficult to understand why the Tories are making such a fuss be- cause I said we would-not in- crease the income tax and would take the purchase (sales) tax off necessities." Conservative s p o k esmen have claimed labor's program would cost a billion pounds a year and would bring booming Britain to bankruptcy. The laborites say in addition to increased taxes derived from the ex- panding economy, they will gei more money by tightening up on "expense account" tax deductions and by taxing cap- ital gains, now exempt in Brit- ain. Weary party campaigners buckled down to final days of battle to win 'don't over Britain's an impond- erable, poker-faced fifth of the electorate. According to public opinion pollsters, there are close to 7i million men and women still undecided whether to vote labor, liberal or con- servative hi the election to fill parliament's 630-seat house of commons. Third Term Their decision will deter- mine whether Macmillan's conservatives return to power for the third straight term, whether Gaitskell heads a government of laborites or whether a tiny liberal faction holds the balance of power in an otherwise evenly divided house. The once powerful liberals sought out the don't knows vote. Liberal leader Jo Grim- ond wound up a helicopter campaign tour with this battle order to his headquarters: "Capture the unprecedented percentage of don't knows. The political harvest of the century now awaits the liber- al reapers." The atmosphere at labor headquarters was subdued. Phillips told newsmen that la- bor would win a working ma- jority in the new parliament if voting was heavy Thursday and if party workers did their jobs. Conservative headquarters seemed a little more self as- sured.with great hopes placed on Macmillan's final televi- tonight. Lord Hailsham, conserva- tive chairman, send a message to party workers saying a vic- tory this time for Macmillan and his team will "Destroy forever the grisly peril of a socialist state in Britain."

Psychiatrist Explains How 'Green Lady1 Caused Terror psychi- atrist explained today how the 'Green Lady" frightened some people hi West Philadel- phia. She was stunning, she was dressed all in green; and she was walking through, schools with a knife, harassing chil- dren, even stabbing some. Or so the worried people said. And police in West Phil- adelphia, where crime has been pronounced, received more than two dozen calls. The stories were approxi- mately the same, and usually vague. No one saw the green lady. But that didn't lessen the concern. The callers were passing on reliable reports from eye witnesses. Even stu- dents told their principals about her. Searched Schools Police checked the reports and rushed to search four school buildings, just as they would if someone reported a aomb. There was no green lady, no stabbed "children." The scare lasted two days last week and then was forgotten. But the green lady was not nexplicable, at least not to Dr. Kenneth Appel, head of lie psychiatry department at the University of Pennsylvan- ia. She might have had her birth, at least in part, in the national concern over crime and violence, Dr. Appel said, just as the flying saucer stor- ies of a few years ago might iave been caused, in part, by ;he growing awareness that in- :erplanetary space would soon ae possible. Period of Fear 'The power of suggestion is Dr. Appel explained, 'Especially in times of con- cern or fear, as in periods of war or unusual crime. People see or hear things that don't actually exist. This rumor the green have been deter- mined by the psychology of the person who first -had the experience. A shadow, or per- haps a woman seen far off, might stimulated him. The flying saucer reports might have been stimulated by a cloud. "Imagination does the rest, and sometimes it takes only the slightest provocation to create mass hypnotism ev- eryone seeing the same thing. "This Dr. Appel said, "Might be primitive but it is an often common way people have of dealing with problems in the air like crime and violence." Atlas Missile Has New Cone White Tip Used In Test Today At Atlantic Range Cape Canaveral, Fla. An Atlas missile carrying a new tactical type nose cone roared over the Atlantic early today on a successful mile test flight. The new cone, nearly 12 feet tall, was gleaming white atop the 80-foot missile. The air force calls this its second generation nose cone and plans eventually-to use it in place of the smaller cones which now top the Atlas, Ti- tan and Thor missiles. The new cone is designed for faster re-entry through the earth's atmosphere and probably will cut in half the time in which an anti-missile device can intercept it. There was no plan to recov- er the cone. Instruments were to radio information on its performance. j The test also was another in a series to improve the accur-j acy of the Atlas, which be-j came ready for combat use almost four weeks ago. Weight Bill May be Vetoed Additional Pound Limit Would Slice Road Aids Fo5t-Crnecnt Madison A bill of the past legislative session to allow ad- dition of pounds to high- way truck weights appeared today to be headed for a veto by Gov. Gaylord Nelson be- cause its being signed would cut off federal highway con- struction aids. The governor's office re- leased the text of a letter from Ellis L. Armstrong, U.S. commissioner, of public roads, stating it was his opinion that the proposed Wisconsin law would establish weight limits higher than those of 1956 fed- eral legislation. This conflist would result in a situation 'which prohibits apportion- ment of interstate funds un- der such Armstrong said. Loss of Aids Nelson told a news confer- ence Monday that he planned to ask the attorney general's office for its opinion of Arm- strong's stand. If it is true that the increased truck weights would result in a loss of federal highway aids, Nel- son said he would not sign the bill. Armstrong's letter, dated Sept. 28, was sent to Harold Plummer, chairman of the state highway commission. Because of its content, it then was forwarded to the gover- nor's office. The letter appeared to mean that, if the Wisconsin truck Tuesday, October 6, 1959 Appleton Post-Crescei A hand- radio operator Dutch Sailor Waives Extradition; to Bostoi Grand Jury Indicts Willem Van Rie On Murder Charge in Death of Divorcee Stanley wife Spector of Washington u sity, St. Louis, who ha ployed the victim three as a research assistai Woman, 2 M Found Shot A!

Fontana referred to ques- tioning of Van Rie prior to his arrest. Police said he admit- ted having struck Miss Kauff- man during a quarrel in he.r cabin aboard the freighter Utrecht. He denied, however, having any knowledge, of her death or of how her body got into the water. A Suffolk county grand jury in Boston yesterday indicted Van Rie on a murder charge.

Manitoba and Northwest Ontario Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups
Helping Families and Friends of Alcoholics
The Al-anon Family Groups are a fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics
who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problems.
We believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery.
Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization,
or institution; does not engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes
any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its
own voluntary contributions.
Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing
the twelve steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and
by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic.
Is Al-Anon for you?
Is Alateen for you?
What can I expect at an Al-Anon meeting?

The union representing BC transit operators is in Ottawa Wednesday advocating for stiffer penalties for people who assault anyone working in the transit industry.
President of Unifor Local 111 Nathan Woods says he will testify before the Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs to support a bill that would amend the criminal code.
He says he understands there are workers in other professions who also face violence on the job.
"The difference between this is, of course, a transit worker has the lives of their passengers and their surroundings, pedestrians and motorists at stake as well. And recently we've seen assaults where the bus is moving in Metro Vancouver, and that puts more than just the driver at risk."
The proposed bill would make an assault on a transit worker an aggravating factor during sentencing.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced that they have placed S Sabby Piscitelli on the Injured Reserve list.
Piscitelli fractured his right foot during the Buccaneers' 24-3 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. The recovery period for such an injury is 6-8 week, meaning Piscitelli likely wouldn't be back on the roster until December.
By moving Piscitelli to injured reserve, the Buccaneers ended the Oregon State rookie's season.
Piscitelli, a second-round selection (64th overall) in the 2007 NFL Draft, played in all three games this season, posting two special teams tackles.
Additionally, the Buccaneers promoted WR Chad Lucas to the active roster from the practice squad, signed T Jason Capizzi and WR Micheal Spurlock to the practice squad and released C/G Enoka Lucas from the practice squad.
Chad Lucas was originally signed to the practice squad on September 2, 2007. He also spent a portion of the 2006 season on the Tampa Bay practice squad.
Capizzi originally signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2007. He was released by the Steelers on September 1 and subsequently spent September 12-17 on the New York Jets practice squad.
Spurlock, begins his second stint this season on the Tampa Bay practice squad after spending September 4-20 with the Buccaneers.
Enoka Lucas was re-signed to the practice squad on September 20 after spending September 2-6 on the Buccaneers practice squad.

Ok so if you are reading this topic then that means one thing.
You miss your old taskbar that you have seen in Windows 2000,XP, and Vista.
This topic will show you how to get your classic taskbar back.
Also doing this you may see some bugs with it.
First thing you will need is an install disk.
If you want Windows XP then you would need the XP install disk and etc.
Go to start and type in "expand cdromdrive:\i386\explorer.ex_ C:\Users\(your username)\Documents" with quotes and where cdromdrive is the drive you install disk is in and where (your username) is your username.
After that you shoulw now see explorer.exe under your documents. Right click on it and go to properties.
Under the Compatibility tap enable the OS compatibility and select the Windows version if your are using XP explorer then you would select Windows XP/2003 and if you were using Windows 2000 explorer select Windows 2000. Note in windows 2000 explorer the win logo next to start is replaced by a defualt no found icon mostly a blank windows picture.
After you do that click on apply and then close
open up taskmanager and go to processes under that look for explorer (Mostly just by typing in ex) and click on end process.
From this point on the onlything you may see is task manager and some applications if they are running.
Now go to File->run and type in the path to the new explorer file that you just created IE Users\Administrator\Documents\explorer.exe
If you did everything correctly you will now get the classic task bar and desktop.
Also if there were features that you liked in the Windows 7 explorer you will no longer be able to use it unless you start Windows 7 explorer by ending the on your just created and typing in explorer in the run box from file->run.
well I hope that this has helped you out and that you like it.

California's Stockton Moves Toward Mediation, Lawyer Says
Stockton (3654MF), California, testing a new state requirement that municipalities try mediation before seeking bankruptcy protection, made formal requests to creditors to take part, according to a lawyer for the city.
Notices sent by e-mail Feb. 29 and by certified mail gave creditors 10 business days to say whether they'll take part, Marc Levinson, an Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP partner in Sacramento, said yesterday by telephone. He declined to say how many or which creditors responded, citing a new state law.
"The statute is untested and expresses a strong preference for confidentiality and that's what the city intends to do," Levinson said. "In order to keep confidential what's discussed in the meeting, everything ought to be confidential, including the participants."
Stockton's City Council on Feb. 28 agreed to mediation required under the new law, which aims to deter cities from entering bankruptcy. The process is a necessary step if the agricultural center about 80 miles (130 kilometers) east of San Francisco seeks court protection. City Manager Bob Deis has said the community is running out of funds because of escalating retiree health-care costs, lingering effects of the recession and recently uncovered accounting errors.
Bond Backer
National Public Finance Guarantee Corp., which insures municipal bonds against default, has agreed to take part, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said last week. Agreeing to talk doesn't mean the company, a unit of MBIA Inc., will accept a loss on the $224 million in Stockton bonds it insures, according to the person, who declined to be identified because he isn't authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The parties have a week to agree on a mediator once the 10 business days have passed, Levinson said, citing the law. The lawyer for the city wouldn't say where the process stands now.
"I expect that we will have a mediator by the end of the month," Levinson said.
The confidential negotiations will take as long as 60 days, Levinson said. During that time, the city or a majority of the interested parties can choose to extend talks another 30 days. After 90 days, the city and a majority of the parties may agree to an indefinite extension, Levinson said.

Featuring three SA single-coil pickups, wired with an EXG guitar expander, an SPC presence control and master volume, this is the same EMG system that David used with Pink Floyd on his main red Strat. By increasing the bass and treble while reducing the mids, this pickguard/pickup set is incredible for chord definition at higher volumes. For acoustic guitarists, this section also offers an assortment of humidifiers for fretted instruments, and the Oasis OH-1 original guitar humidifier is a popular choice. Constructed from a specifically designed fabric that lets water vapor pass right through it, Oasis humidifiers fit right between the strings of your instrument, and once positioned in the soundhole, the stabilizing bar lies across your strings to ensure that the weight distribution is even.
From slides, capos and strap locks to tremolo bridges, picks and pickguards, there's no end in sight to the amount of ways you can customize and personalize your fretted instrument. It's not only a fulfilling hobby to get involved in, but it's also a sure-fire way to make you stand out from the pack and make your talents fully noticed.

A survey of crossdomain.xml vulnerabilities
Vulnerable crossdomain.xml files can be used by malicious people to run CSRF attacks if the victim has Flash installed on their computer. In response to a post by chs on crossdomain.xml proofs of concept and Seth Art's real-world exploit of Bing using crossdomain.xml, I created an application in Ruby which parses the Alexa top million site list (CSV, 10MB) and scans for vulnerable crossdomain.xml files. Vulnerable here is defined as a crossdomain.xml file which permits connections from any domain name (*). It sorts the domains into four categories:
- Unable to connect: Ruby was unable to establish a connection to the website. Interestingly enough, a significant portion of Alexa's top million sites were inaccessible during this survey.
- Invalid or 404: Returned 404 or the returned XML was not valid.
- Secure: The XML returned does not contain a reference to allow-access-from domain="*". This does not necessarily mean that the whole crossdomain.xml file is secure, just that it is not vulnerable to the most basic of CSRF exploits.
- Permissive: The XML returned from a GET to /crossdomain.xml does allow access from any domain.
Without further ado, let's get into it.
The Code
I chose Ruby for this project because it has good XML processing libraries, is reasonably fast, and because I needed an excuse to practice Ruby.
require 'net/http'
require 'rexml/document'
include REXML
require 'csv'
counters = {
'unconnect' => 0,
'invalid-404' => 0,
'permissive' => 0,
'secure' => 0,
'total-count' => 0
trap 'SIGINT' do
print counters.inspect
exit 130
permissive = CSV.open('permissive.csv','wb')
CSV.foreach('top-1m.csv') do |row|
counters['total-count'] += 1
print "\n"+'Getting '+row[1]+'... '
xd = Net::HTTP.get(row[1], '/crossdomain.xml')
counters['unconnect'] += 1
print 'unable to connect'
xd = REXML::Document.new(xd)
counters['invalid-404'] += 1
print 'invalid xml'
wildcard_access = false
XPath.each(xd,'//allow-access-from') do |access|
next unless access.attributes['domain'] == '*' # <allow-access-from domain="*">
wildcard_access = true
counters['permissive'] += 1
print 'permissive'
permissive << row
unless wildcard_access
counters['secure'] += 1
print 'secure'
print counters.inspect
The Results
After 160,169 websites were inspected over the course of a few days, the script hung.
- 3,535 (2.2%) of the websites were down at the time of the scan.
- 84,883 (53%) of the websites had invalid or non-existent XML files at /crossdomain.xml.
- 67,097 (41.9%) of the websites surveyed had a "secure" crossdomain.xml file.
- 4,653 (2.9%) of the websites surveyed had insecure crossdomain.xml files.
A wildcard crossdomain.xml file is fine for certain websites, but a quick scan of the results reveals a number of banks, bitcoin websites, and popular entertainment sites (9gag and Vimeo included) with poor crossdomain.xml files. The results as a CSV with columns corresponding to the Alexa rank and the domain name.
Although a full scan of the Alexa top million was not completed, an alarmingly large number of sites have overly permissive and insecure crossdomain.xml files.

Drive Digital Transformation Through Strategic Partnerships
Posted by Martin Gill on May 21, 2014
I'm house hunting.
It's a very enlightening way of seeing digital disruption in action. When my wife and I bought our current house over a decade ago, we found it on a property website, but that's where the digital engagement ended. We physically went to the estate agent to book a viewing. We were given a printed brochure about the house. Our mortgage application was done in person. We took photos of the house, printed them at the local Boots and stuck them in an album. When we moved we had to call our friends and tell them we'd moved.
Today, we went to the area we liked, opened up the RightMove.co.uk mobile app, hit "My Location" and were instantly shown a map of houses for sale in our budget. We found a couple we liked. One was even with an online only estate agent. No need to take photos, because there were 18 high resolution shots on the web. My wife announced on Facebook that we'd put an offer in. Nothing has happened yet, the vendor might not accept the offer, but look at how slick digital has made this process. Its taken a day.
This kind of disruption is rippling through almost every industry, and the very real challenge traditional firms face is how to keep up?
The clear answer from eBusiness executives is that they can't do it themselves. The pace of change is too great, skilled people are hard to recruit and retain and it takes real innovators to develop location-aware, context driven mobile solutions like RightMove's app ahead of your competition. Partners are vital to driving innovation and plugging the skills gap. The challenge is that:
- Customer experience, creative and technology skills are the hardest to recruit. Almost two thirds of eBusiness teams struggle to recruit CX and creative skills, and over half struggle to find technical talent. These roles blend digital, creative, technical and commercial savvyness, and often demand high levels of interpersonal skills as well. These guys and girls are rare, expensive and difficult to attract. In our latest executive survey report, Trends 2014: Staffing And Hiring For eBusiness, we examine this issue in the context of the wider staffing and organizational trends that eBusiness teams face.
- Outsourcing only fixes things if done strategically. In response to this skills gap, three quarters of teams outsource technology skills, with almost a third looking to partners to help with creative and CX tasks. But the risk for these eBusiness leaders is that tactical outsourcing challenges their ability to innovate and drives costs upwards. Partners can provide significant value, but only if engaged in the right way. That's why we've also been researching how to Define Your Digital Transformation Partner Strategy.
To win in this complex and fast-paced digital world, eBusiness leaders must innovate. Firms like John Lewis are realizing that technology innovation is tough, and that they don't have the monopoly on good ideas. To that end they recently launched an innovation hothouse, JLab to incubate new ideas. Smart eBusiness leaders are learning to extend their reach through wider dynamic ecosystems of value. Maybe it's time you re-evaluated your staffing and partner startegy?

The CX Journey

I'm personally a huge fan of Airbnb for exactly this reason. The ability to eliminate human error and communication gaffe's with a few strokes and swipes is a bliss. Even our agency is consistently after clients to restructure their UX so as to eliminate vanity steps and information plug ins. Glad to know you're moving up the ladder Martin :)

Fast-food giants McDonald's and Pizza Hut are thinking small after the Super Bowl, with new menu offerings that take after the small plates, tapas and portion-controlled craze.
McDonald's this week is adding seafood for the first time to its Happy Meals with its Fish McBites. The seven small pieces of Alaska pollock — which are certified as sustainably sourced — contain 170 calories.
The limited time offer will coincide with Lent, which begins next week, and is made with the same fish used in McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. The Fish McBites are also available on the regular menu in other sizes.
In another short-term promotion, Pizza Hut debuted pizza sliders following Sunday's football game. The mini-pizzas are 3.5 inches across, compared to the 6-inch diameter of a standard Pizza Hut personal pie.
Customers can pick up nine sliders – with three combinations and up to three toppings each – for $10 or three for $5. Pizza Hut is giving away free samples of the small pizzas from 4 to 7 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

Towards a sociology of nonhumans: technology and creativity
Kendall, Gavin P. (2004) Towards a sociology of nonhumans: technology and creativity. In Bailey, C., Cabrera, D., & Buys, L. (Eds.) Social Change in the 21st Century Conference; Centre for Social Change Research; Queensland University of Technology.
This paper examines innovative electronic music software and the ways in which (mainly Western) musicianly practices are produced and transformed. The paper seeks to move beyond the usual sorts of discussions of these issues, arranged as they are around the poles of technological determinism or individual musicianly genius, by using Actor-Network Theory as a lens for examining these transformations and productions. Musicians and music technology are part of a complex web of interests, enrolments and translations, which can occasionally attain a precarious order. A series of software instruments developed by Propellerheads will be used as a case study: it will be shown that musicians do not impose their compositions upon a blank slate (the technology is not neutral in what it allows or forbids - it is the embodiment of a definite morality); nor is the technology simply used in ways which the developers envisaged. The continuous production of new music technologies, new musicians and new types of music can be seen to be the result of this ongoing integration of human and non-human elements. For example, the emergence and materialisation of nostalgia (software recreations of long-dead pieces of hardware) enable us to understand a human emotional response as given form and life through technology. But at the same time, this nostalgia was never a pure human emotion: its shape was partly determined by earlier technology (old actions, allowed by the morality of the old technology, can resurface in new technology which harks back to the old).
