Whatever Geoffrey Boycott was up to in calling for the sacking of the England coach, Duncan Fletcher - mischief, personal publicity, heartfelt sincerity were contenders of varying magnitude - he may have chosen the wrong adversary.
Ashley Giles, veteran of the squad and respectful as they come, replied witheringly to the demand here yesterday.
"We all come in for criticism for our play and some of it is valid, but I don't think this is valid at all," said Giles. "I'm hoping Fletch will not take it to heart because I think it's quite ridiculous. It's disappointing because I think it's quite a personal attack as well."
Boycott said that Fletcher had reached the end of his shelf-life and that the time had come for a change in the dressing-room. "After a while a coach runs out of new ideas and the players get too comfortable and complacent with him," said Boycott.
He had been expressing those opinions privately and often before the pitiful Champions Trophy performance against Australia last Saturday. On deciding to go public, he must have known that the views of a former England batsman who still has the public ear would generate wider publicity. It was difficult to see what he hoped to achieve save enlisting camp followers and the comments could almost have been designed to cause unrest in the squad.
Giles said: "Fletcher doesn't seem to get a lot of praise from this certain individual - when the team does well, it's down to the team and the captain. Yet when the team does badly it's all the coach's fault. Fletch is very strong-minded. He's very quiet and keeps a lot to himself but he has a huge amount to offer this team still, particularly going into this tough winter. I've not played under any other coach who tries to look for newer ways to improve your game." Giles's colleague Paul Collingwood said he was surprised and baffled by the call.
Of course, Boycott could, as a pundit, counter that such responses justify his attitude. But the general feeling was that, though England have played increasingly poor limited-overs cricket, Fletcher's side won the Ashes just 13 months ago.
Giles, who is with the squad as a non-player in the final stages of his recovery from a hip operation, confirmed that he is on course to be fully fit for the first Test against Australia in Brisbane. He might shortly expect calls from Boycott for him to retire.Reuse content

The last quarterback the NFL's lowest-ranked defense should want to face next? Aaron Rodgers. But if the New Orleans Saints are going to rise from the league basement, finding a way to stymie the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player is a must in Sunday's game at Green Bay (4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, FOX). Among the biggest reasons for the Saints' 0-3 start is a defense bombing on all levels. New Orleans has allowed at least 27 points in all three outings. The opposition is clocking an average possession time of 35:25, limiting the chances for the Saints' normally high-powered offense to get in sync. The unit hit rock bottom in last Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to visiting Kansas City. The Saints squandered an 18-point second-half lead as Jamaal Charles rushed for a staggering 233 yards and added 55 more yards on another six catches. If Charles invoked memories of Jim Brown, there's a reason. That Hall of Fame running back is the only other player who has ever achieved such a statisti...

The Hanging Wooden Bird Feeder by Town and Country is a completely white, beautifully designed and crafted bird feeder. It is unique to most other bird feeders as it is designed to look like a house with its sturdy hexagonal shape and large glass windows on each face. The glass windows are ideal too for seeing how full or empty your bird feeder is. It is extremely easy to refill too, as the lid of the feeder comes off easily. This Lid is also held on by the robe which passes through the entire feeder and out the top of the lid so you can hang it off a tree. Birds will love this brilliant feeder and whilst they are feeding they will have shelter as it has a cover over them to help protect them from wind and rain.
Useful Information
Colour: White
6 faces and 6 glass panels
Quick and easy to refill
Rope loop included
Provides shelter for the birds

Has anyone used the Pacific Outdoor Equipment WXtex Pneumo Lightweight Dry Sack as an inflatable pillow? How might it compare to the FlexAir Dual Compartment Ultralight Pillow? I am obviously most concerned about comfort. The weight of this dry bag is easier to justify if I can find some other uses for it. I am happy packing my clothing in Zip-Lock bags. I use a garbage bag for my sleeping bag or quilts. I am entertaining the idea of using a dry bag rather than a garbage bag. As a hammock user, I don't carry a sleeping pad, so the dry bag may be my best bet for being able to float my pack.Jun 28, 2006 at 2:03 pm #1358659

Eric…you hi-light for me the fact that hikers can sometimes be 180 degrees different. I could never use a hammock or anything airfilled as a pillow, and in combination I might as well try to sleep standing up.Jun 28, 2006 at 3:09 pm #1358665

I love my hammock, but have not yet tried an air filled pillow. I used to always have spare clothing that I would use as a pillow, but I'm a little more efficient now. On my last outing I missed having a pillow so I bought a FlexAir pillow. I'll have to try it on Friday night.Jun 28, 2006 at 4:58 pm #1358673

>On my last outing I missed having a pillow so I bought a FlexAir pillow. I'll have to try it on Friday night.
Just barely inflate it, enough so your head doesn't bottom out against the hammock (maybe 1.5 inches thick with no load on it). This is probably less air than you would need to keep from bottoming out if you used the pillow against the ground, since it wraps around your head a bit. It should stay under your head nicely and provide insulation from the cold side of the hammock. If you over-inflate it, it will scoot out from under your head; no fun.Jun 29, 2006 at 7:08 am #1358691

Carol – Very nice work as always.
As you may recall, I've done a lot of dry sack testing myself, mostly in connection an article published on my website last year entitled "Keeping Your Critical Gear Dry". That article was also recently updated with my own test results of the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil bags, which I too found unacceptably leaky.
I must say, in fact, that I've mostly given up on any dry sack whose seams are sewn and taped. That construction technique, irrespective of manufacturer, just doesn't seem to hold up to real world trail use and always seems to eventually leak. Instead, if I bother to carry dry sacks at all, they must now be built with welded seams.
My current lightweight favorites are the Camp Inn basic nylon dry bags that weren't included in your review. In wet conditions, I often carry two: the first is the 10-liter bag that holds mostly trail clothes and, if necessary, camera gear in the event of downpours or river crossings. It weighs 3.2 oz.
The second is the 19-liter bag for my sleeping bag and camp clothes. It weighs 4.5 oz. (the 10-liter bag is not quite large enough for these items).
I also like the fact that the Camp Inn fabric coating is thicker and hardier than on most other bags. It's also a lot more slippery, so gear stuffed into the bags slides in more easily. So far, these bags have held up very well. Though there are slightly lighter bags available, most just don't get the job done, IMO.
I've examined the WXTex Pneumo bags you reviewed and they appear to be well made. Because of the way the top is designed, however, they're not as easy to load as the Camp Inns and the interior waterproof coating is a bit sticky, which makes it harder to slide gear into them. They're also heavier than the Camp Inns.
Further, while the two-way purge valves on these bags are an interesting idea, I think they could also become a liability. The positioning on the sides of the bags would seem to make the valves vulnerable to breakage. I don't know, however, if anyone has actually experienced such a failure, so perhaps I'm just being paranoid.
Anyway, thanks again for an excellent article.

After years of testing "dry sacks" and extensive conversations and letters to OR product designers and late founder Ron Gregg I came to many of the same conclusions that Carol faithfully reports in this article. The one idea that I was unsuccessful at communicating and have seen no awareness of by any manufacturer or reviewer is that roll down dry sacks (especially the Sea to Summit bags reviewed) make terrific and lightweight compression sacks. I use these almost exclusively not for their waterproofness (although that is occasionally a great benefit)but for their ability to compress my sleeping bag and clothes into far less volume allowing me to carry a smaller and lighter pack.
I find the Sea to Summit bags are functionally waterproof in almost any situation I encounter as a backpacker. If I need SERIOUS waterproofness, say for a sea kayak/camping trip on the NW tip of Vancouver Island in November, I will investigate Jim's recommended Camp Inn bags.Jun 30, 2006 at 9:35 pm #1358793
Colleen ClemensMember
@tarbubbleLocale: dirtville, CA
al, that is almost exactly the result i have found while testing the POE Pneumo Ltw for backpackgeartest.org. i LOVE the compression aspect of it – i was able to squeeze my packed clothing ridiculously small and thus really keep the overall size of my backpack down as well. this could be a very handy possibility for going on trips where i plan to bring back more than i took in the first place.
and thanks for the idea to use one of these as a pillow. to think, on my last trip it just laid there on the ground while i slept, and the idea never occurred to me! i'm gonna give it a whirl. now, what to use as a pillowcase…Jul 1, 2006 at 1:19 pm #1358826

@ryanLocale: Rocky Mountains
On my recent trek in the arctic, I used a POE Pneumo 65L dry bag as my pack bag, inside a ULA custom built dry bag pack harness. The Pneumo was not reported here, it's a 50d bag and only slightly heavier. POE reports its weight at 12 oz, mine was 10.4.
I think the valve is critical at keeping gear dry, whether in rain or immersion, as happened when we crossed rivers. It allows you to create a positive pressure head against water that might intrude into the top closure. Because the top closure is not airtight, I needed to add air to the bag about two more times during a 12 hour walking day.
The welded seams are a huge bonus. No risk at all of seam failure. Like many others, and what Carol reports, I don't do sewn dry bags anymore.
I've used the POE 65L Pneumo for the past year, mostly on packrafting trips. I've flipped my boat in whitewater on a number of occasions where my pack was submerged; on one occasion, I had to let go of my pack during a river crossing when I lost my footing, and the pack was taken under a logjam where it was stuck underwater for 20 minutes.
I've never had my gear get wet and no water entry through the rolltop closure.
I back up gear inside the main dry bag (keep in mind this is my packbag, not a liner inside a conventional backpack). For trips where I need to pack wet gear inside, such as a packrafting trip (where I might stow a wet tarp), I've been using Sea to Summit Ultrasil dry bags for my sleeping bag, insulating clothing, and electronics. For other trips where I may just be crossing deep rivers but not spending a lot of time in the water, I'm not comfortable stowing wet gear inside its own Ultrasil dry bag at the top of the main packbag, and packing the rest of my gear in lighter stuff sacks inside the main packbag.Jul 4, 2006 at 1:17 pm #1358950

@cmcrookerLocale: Desert Southwest, USA
Another dual use for any dry sack – besides pillow – is emergency water sack. Position the sack with the roll top closure up if possible and don't put it next to your down bag :)Jul 12, 2006 at 10:38 pm #1359290

Because I am a gear tragic I purchased the Sea to Summit kitchen sink and than feeling guilty about the weight I bought the Little Kitchen Sink. ( one side to wash myself and clothing,the other side to wash the dishes)
Now I use their Sil cordura dry sacs. So I use one as my night gear storage/compression sac, as a sink and as a pillow case ( wine bag bladder, shirt around it, inside the bag and my towel as a soft cover over the Sil cordura bag.
And BTW the Sil Cordura bags do leak a little… ( I have not seam sealed them) but they are OK inside my Aarn packs.Jul 13, 2006 at 8:00 am #1359297

Sea to summit has released a new concept in dry sacks with compression through a event membrane.Jul 13, 2006 at 10:57 am #1359300
This, I like. Now, if only they would produce a larger version, as well, for longer jaunts. 50 L would work.
But would it be permeable enough to squeeze air out? I guess the pillow option of the Pneumo would be out, as well.Jul 13, 2006 at 11:47 am #1359302
Kevin, You know that only the bottom of the sack is eVent. I don't think it would make much difference how big the bag was.
A larger bag might make a good MYOG project if eVent or some other material that works in the same way could be found/used. It wouldn't take much just for the bottom of the bag.
This seems like a good question for someone like David Olsen.Jul 13, 2006 at 12:22 pm #1359303
As a MYOG, this could be done in more easy to obtain Goretex, easily enough. I might even do so if Brian of ULA comes thru w/ a production run of the Arctic 1000 pack system.
I wouldn't hold my breath as to short term availibility of eVENT in small quantities. But as I see it, the differences in permeability of the 2 materials are too small to be bothered with for this application.Jul 13, 2006 at 12:27 pm #1359304

Bill I have some scraps of 3 layer eVent if you
would like to experiment, also some similar
Gore fabric that air can get through. Pieces
are probably about a foot square or so.Jul 13, 2006 at 1:10 pm #1359305
Why not make the whole dry sack out of 3 layer PFTE as opposed to just the end? Even easier to squeeze air out of the bag?
Still, the POE Pneumo has a big advantage in that you can inflate/deflate as needed via the valve. Pillow and flotation aid—-Alaskan stream crossings, anyone?Jul 13, 2006 at 1:38 pm #1359307
I have coordinated with David and will get some scrap eVent to experiment with. I really appreciate his offer and have thanked him several times.
I have a pattern that I made for a bag like the Pneumo that would be about 50 L. I have air valves but hadn't worked out how to attach one in a seamline yet. The eVent bottom will remove the need for an air valve. The rest of the bag will be some special Cuben material I have.
I will post the results (how-ever it turns out) when I get the first one finished.
I also don't think I will be crossing any Alaskan streams anytime soon. Fording the wild rivers that cross the AT up in Maine someday maybe.Jul 13, 2006 at 1:52 pm #1359308
How will you seal the seams, Bill? Can you reliably seam tape Cuben?Jul 13, 2006 at 2:20 pm #1359311
Kevin, There are a couple of tapes that I have that can be used on Cuben. I have only used the tape on small things so far.
Sail makers and several MYOG folks are using this same tape. I will test the tape on some small bags and see how it works before I use it on a larger bag.
I have a few different things to try on the seams.Jul 18, 2006 at 10:32 am #1359440
As per David Olsen's offer last week I received my scrap/samples of eVent fabric.
Thanks David.
I also have found out that "OR" is introducing a Compression Sack with a material on one end to squeeze the air through it like the eVent bottom on the new "Sea to Summit" Compression Dry Sacks. Look for this OR item at the next Outdoor Retail Show.Jul 18, 2006 at 7:02 pm #1359451

Chris, I will check with David or he may respond here with the answer to your question.
Roy, This type of bag may be the Rage for new items this year. EVent may be the winner for this application.
On a side note I see on
Ron Bells web site that he is listing several Hammocks made out of "Epic". I listed this by mistake as eVent. I then then suggested Ron might make a line of Dry Bags/Compression Bags that use an "eVent" should have said Epic bottom. Maybe Epic would work? He also lists a Cuben Tarp.Jul 18, 2006 at 10:21 pm #1359458

I stare with amazement at the fact that she's alive, and then I see she's covered with blood, her nose looks crooked and her arm bent at an odd angle. She looks up at me, smiles painfully then steps forward, I drop to my knees as she collapses and catch her, dragging her back into the elevator.
"Whoa, what happened to you?"I mutter incredulously.
"Elevator, remember? Falling like eight floors, I'm not as big as you, falling hurts." She gasps.
I faintly smile and lay her back against the door. She looks to be about eleven or twelve; I'll have to ask later. I think, getting up I push the button to close the doors and then to go all the way to the first floor of the hotel, which oddly was the maximum floor of this one. I dash into the lobby when the doors open; surprisingly the place isn't totally scorched from the fire. I take a step forward motioning for the little girl to follow me, but I don't hear anything, turning around I see her leaning against the wall totally unconscious.
"Crap." I whisper.
I look at the dead zombie on the floor a few feet away, most of the flesh is burnt away from the fire but the bones still appear intact. I jog over to it and, with a grunt, rip off both arms, dislodge the hands and then peel whatever skin and muscle is left until satisfied. I look around and see the desk looks mostly intact. Rifling through the drawers and cabinets I find some duct tape. I go over to the girl and bend her arm to the correct angle; she groans but doesn't wake up. Laying the four bones out on the sides of her upper and lower arm I tape them together until it looks sturdy enough and pick her up gently then move as fast as possible out to the car and lay her down in the passenger seat. A church with a clock tower is nearby; I jog till it's within sight.
"Seriously? No way I was down there for the better part of the night." I say with disbelief.
The clock reads at Three twenty something. I dash back to the car, throwing open the door and get inside, turn the vehicle on and start driving back to Kelly's place hoping the others made it back okay.

Permit Changes for 2010 Nebraska Panhandle Elk Hunters
New elk hunting statutes will impact Panhandle landowners who want to be included in hunting zones in 2010. Those zones qualify landowners for limited numbers of elk permits.
"The ability to qualify for landowner elk hunting permits is different than landowner permits for other Nebraska big game," said Todd Nordeen, Panhandle district wildlife manager for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
"It is important that landowner elk permits are available to those landowners impacted the most by elk use on their property," Nordeen said. "While the total numbers of elk hunting permits for the Panhandle have increased, the demand for landowner permits has increased significantly in recent years as well."
Landowners seeking inclusion in a zone for 2010 should do so by Dec. 31. The deadline for landowner bull elk applications will be in mid-May.
Elk hunting zones are established to identify private property that has elk usage, elk depredation and supports consistent elk habitat and numbers. The zones are much smaller than the elk hunting units used when hunters apply for elk permits. The entire Panhandle is located within elk management units, including the Hat Creek, Ash Creek, Bordeaux, and North Platte River units.
Interested landowners that have significant elk usage and can meet other requirements will be considered for acceptance into the zone.
The following are some of the changes in landowner requirements for 2010 as a result of the passage of LB 105 by the Legislature:
- -- To qualify for a limited permit, a resident landowner must own 320 acres, lease 640 acres or own or lease any combination of 640 acres.
- -- A limited landowner antlerless-only permit may be issued to a nonresident, or immediate family members, who own or lease 1,280 acres.
- -- To qualify for a limited permit, one must be a landowner, leaseholder or member of the immediate family of landowner or leaseholder, including siblings who share ownership. A qualifying child no longer is required to live in the same household as the landowner or leaseholder.
- -- The number of limited permits issued annually for each farm or ranch may not exceed the total number of acres divided by 320.
- -- The Commission will begin issuing preference points in 2010 to landowners who are unsuccessful in drawing a landowner bull permit in 2010.
For more information on Panhandle elk zone landowner requirements and eligibility, contact the Alliance district office of the Commission at (308) 763-2940 or the Ponderosa Wildlife Management Area at (308) 665-2924.

Home Remedies For Hemorrhoids
There are several home remedies for hemorrhoids which are convenient
to use and are quite safe to try at home without any risk of side effects.
Some of the popular remedies which are being
used since a very long time and have proved to be quite useful in many
cases are:
1. One of the most efficient home remedies for hemorrhoids is the use of
witch hazel. All you need to do is take a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel
and then apply it on affected area just before going to bed. Daily use of
this home remedy will prove to be very beneficial in treating hemroids.
Cumin Seeds
2. Take one tablespoon of black cumin seeds and roast them. Now mix
these roasted cumin seeds with one tablespoon of unroasted black cumin
seeds. Grind them together to form a fine powder. Every day consume
half teaspoon of this powder with water to cure hemorrhoids. This is
one of the most efficient home remedies for hemorrhoids.
No BEER!
3. Avoid consumption of beer, coffee, cola and excessive spices as they
can cause itching while passing through the bowels and will make
your condition worse.
4. Chamomile is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be
very beneficial in treating hemorrhoids. You can consume chamomile tea
every day for better results.
Natural Supplements
5. You can also take colon health supplements as well. Some of these
supplements that we have reviewed here, have the ability to accelerate
the healing of torn or damaged tissue. They also lubricate sensitive
passage ways to restore normal blood flow to the rectal area.
Click here to have 2 free bottles of Venapro, or here to see our review.
Sesame Seeds
6. Sesame seeds are also very effective in treating hemorrhoids. All you
need to do is boil one glass of water with fifteen to twenty sesame seeds.
Strain this mixture and allow it to cool down. Daily consume this mixture
two to three times for one month.
7. Garlic and onion both have astringent properties. You can insert little
pieces of onion and garlic in your rectum to treat this ailment. On top of
that, you need to eat raw garlic every day. Garlic helps get rid of
inflammation, and hemroids are inflammation in the rectum.
Vitamin E
8. Take a large capsule of vitamin E and then pierce it with a pin. Now
extract vitamin E out of it and apply it on the affected region. Regular use
of this natural remedy will be pretty effective in treating hemroids.
Milk And Honey
9. Every night before going to drink a glass of warm milk with honey. This
will make it easy for you to pass stools next morning.

Netherlands striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar maintains he has no intentions of leaving AC Milan, despite being linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 26-year-old is in South Africa with the Dutch squad ahead of the World Cup and had been reported to be top of Harry Redknapp's transfer list.
However, former Ajax striker Huntelaar insists he has unfinished business at the San Siro, having arrived from Real Madrid in a £15million move during August 2009.
"I see my name in the Italian newspapers and I don't understand why," Huntelaar said.
"I would like to know who has said that I will be sold, because it doesn't seem like anyone from the club has said anything.
"No other club interests me - my agent has never spoken about a transfer and I want to stay at Milan. I will not leave Milan until I have demonstrated my worth."
CSKA Moscow's Serbia international playmaker Milos Krasic is closing in on a move to Serie A giants Juventus.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe, but is keen to try his luck in Turin next season.
His agent, Dejan Joksimovic, told the Russian media: "There is interest on Manchester United's and Arsenal's behalf, but at the moment, there hasn't been anything concrete.
"As of today, the only offers have come from Fenerbahce and Juventus, but Krasic is not particularly enthusiastic about playing in Turkey.
"He is certainly more attracted to the Juventus project.
"The player likes the Bianconeri's offer, so now it's up to Juve and CSKA to find an agreement.
"I don't believe that the Russians want to block the deal. They know that Krasic has given a lot to CSKA and that the time has come for him to leave."
Lazio president Claudio Lotito has dismissed continuing rumours linking Serbia left-back Aleksandar Kolarov with a summer move to Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old is keen to try and secure a move to the Bernabeu, but Lotito is adamant that Kolarov is going nowhere.
He told La Repubblica: "Fifteen million euros for Kolarov? I won't even sell his boots for that price.
"He is not for sale and we have not received any offers. He is probably the best in the world in his position and we don't need to sell him."
Kolarov had earlier been reported as telling AS: "I hope for the best. Recently Lazio club president Claudio Lotito promised me that he would let me leave for Real Madrid."

Smalljon Umber

Jon Umber, better known as the Smalljon, is a character from A Song of Ice and Fire made a minor villain in Season 6 of Game of Thrones. He is the eldest son of Lord Greatjon Umber and the heir to the Last Hearth. He has other unnamed brothers and at least 2 sisters (most of the Umbers's names are still unknown). While he's a loyal person in the novels, his character has been drastically changed into a more villainous one in the television adaptation.
After the Greatjon dies during the War of the Five Kings, the Smalljon becomes the new Lord of the Last Hearth. He betrays Osha and young Rickon Stark to the Boltons because he hope that they will help him fight the wildlings. He despises the Boltons and refuses to show them any respect. During the Second Battle of Winterfell, he is killed by Tormund Giantsbane who rips his throat and stabs him.
In the books, the Smalljon is not villainous at all, and in fact, he dies during the Red Wedding while still on the Starks's side.

BeschreibungNo society can ever prosper economically or socially unless all its people prosper, unless we use the talents and energies of all the people rather than just the few, unless we live up to the ambition to create a society where the community works for the good of every individual and every individual works for the good of the community, says the British Labour Party's dynamic new leader, Tony Blair.In "New Britain, " we read in Blair's own articulate words how to improve the standard of living of all Britain's families; how to base a new social order on merit, commitment, and inclusion; how to decentralize British institutions of political power; and how to expand Britain's leadership in foreign affairs.

It was called the Casino virus. If it infected your machine, it would remove all files from your hard drive and challenge you to a game. "I'm giving you a last chance to restore your precious data," it would say. "Your data depends on a game of Jackpot."
It presented a kind of digital slot machine, and you had just five chances to spin those digital wheels and land on three matching monochrome icons. If you didn't, Casino berated you with shockingly salty language before deleting your data forever. "You asshole," it would bark. "Say bye to your balls…"
This rather naughty piece of software spread through the computer world in the late 1980s before the rise of the mainstream Internet, traveling from machine to machine on floppy disks passed from one human hand to another. If it ever landed on your DOS machine and commandeered your monochrome monitor, you know just how thrilling a virus could be in those days. Nowadays, viruses never play games. They never talk like teenage boys. They never talk at all. They steal your identity without saying a word. "The old viruses were more like supervillains than terrorists," says computer historian Jason Scott.
Sadly, some people never experienced the thrill of a virus like Casino. But now they can. It's one of many classic viruses now available at the Malware Museum, the latest digital time warp from Jason Scott, our pre-Internet archivist-in-chief. "The Casino virus is legendary. I heard about it my teens," Scott says. "Now, I have my hands on it."
Making History
In the late '90s, Scott created a public archive of his old online bulletin board messages—all his modem-powered online chatter with other lonely guys before any of them could get on the Internet—and soon, he was inundated by online bulletin board messages from around the globe. Eventually, he had a bona fide bulletin board museum—praise the Lord!—and over the years, this expanded into all sorts of other lost digital goodies, including audio files and ads and GeoCities pages and—thank God!—AOL CD-ROMs. People tend to send him their digital past. And he happily curates it for the edification and enjoyment of generations future.
It's the most human of endeavors. History is important to humans. And this is history. "There was Haight-Ashbury in the '60s, and there were bulletin boards in the '80s," Scott once told us.
There were also viruses in the 80s. And at about 2 in the morning this past Friday, Scott and his Archive Team ventured into in this rich realm for the first time. Much of the Malware Museum comes from the personal archives of Mikko Hypponen, the chief research scientist at venerable anti-virus company F-Secure. At F-Secure, Hypponen has been catching malware since 1991, and he still had many of his earliest finds sitting on five-and-a-quarter-inch floppies. A few days ago, Hypponen sent several to Scott. Scott didn't respond. But on Friday, Hypponen awoke to find them on the Internet. He was quite pleased. "Casino is my favorite too," he says.
They're all viruses that spread via floppy disks, and they all run on DOS, that gloriously non-graphical operating system that Microsoft summarily and heartlessly destroyed in the mid-'90s with its cheap imitation of the Apple Macintosh. Ah, but don't despair. You can still run them, thanks to a DOS emulator built by Scott and his Archive Team.
Sadly, you can't experience the thrill of these viruses actually infecting and crippling your machine. They've been bowdlerized by Hypponen and others. But they're still thrilling. They still talk like teenage boys. They still send Star Wars credit crawls across your screen—in French. They still promote the legalization of marijuana. They still like Froddo Baggins. In trying to convince you that some sort of sentient android network has taken over your machine, they still use atrocious grammar.
The other (small) letdown is that the Malware Museum doesn't include the very first virus, Brain.A, which messed with your hard drive and said something about a dungeon. Hypponen returned that one to the dudes in Pakistan who wrote it way back in 1986. But you can watch his YouTube documentary on this seminal virus. And at the museum, there are plenty of others that can get you all hot and bothered.
You'll yearn for the good ol' days when teenage boys wrote viruses for the purest of reasons. They didn't write them to take your money or steal your secrets. They wrote them to delete your data, to call you an asshole, to play a game. They wrote them because the could.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Kingdom of New England (The Many Nations of North America)

The Kingdom of New England is a quasi-constitutional monarchy led during the war by King Edward Kennedy (formerly Kennedy-Rockefeller). The capital of the Kingdom of New England is Boston, Massachusetts.
Following the collapse of the United States of America, the New England states and New York seceded to form the New England Confederation. However, disputes arose very quickly, especially over the capital's location, and New York was expelled after only two years. Since then, Massachusetts has dominated the politics of the nation.
In 1948, New England purchased the Danish West Indies, which had reverted to ownership by Denmark after the fall of the United States of America. This raised tensions with New York, who were also interested in obtaining the islands. During the dispute, New England formed an alliance with Germany, in order to better press their claim to the islands. Throughout the 1950s, New England moved closer politically to the German Empire, culminating in the signing of the Imperial Treaty of 1955, signifying their long-standing alliance.
The New England Confederation was massively changed during the rule of political strongman Joseph P. Kennedy. In response to external pressures and internal riots over economic upheaval, he created the New England monarchy in order to provide stability to the state, amidst massive public acclaim. His son, John Kennedy-Rockefeller, was named the first King of New England. The elder Kennedy served as Chancellor until his death in 1969, and under his auspices the New England Constitution was completely rewritten to centralize the state, heavily restricting the powers of the individual states, now provinces. In 1965, after the abortive separatist Winter Uprising in Vermont, direct gubernatorial elections were cancelled.
War broke out between New York and New England in 1961 after a failed New York invasion of the Connecticut. The war ended in a New England victory, although relations between the states have been tense since. This was graphically illustrated in 1963, when King John was killed by an assassin with reputed links to New York. He was succeeded by his brother Robert Kennedy-Rockefeller, whose reign was cut short by a deranged pro-Vermont militant in 1968. He in turn was succeeded by Nelson Kennedy-Rockefeller, who died of natural causes in 1979 after a relatively peaceful if unpopular reign. King Nelson was succeeded by Edward Kennedy-Rockefeller. In 1997 King Edward changed the name of the ruling house to simply Kennedy, dropping the Rockefeller name, which was felt to be too closely associated with New York. King Edward ruled until his death on August 25, 2009. He was succeeded by his nephew, the eldest son of King Robert, Joseph P. Kennedy II.
During the War
During the war, the Kingdom of New England, in alliance with Germany, invaded the Republic of New York in 1997, in response to alleged border violations. It quickly seized New York City and much of the southern half of the state, forcing many New York troops into a guerrilla war against the occupying troops. During the war, John Silber served as Chancellor from 1992 to 2000, and was succeeded by John Kerry in 2000.
In January 1998, the Vermont War of Independence began, a socialist-inspired insurgency aiming to secede from New England and create a Second Vermont Republic. Although the insurgency enjoyed some early success (at one point controlling 60% of the state), New England managed to crush the revolt by August 1999.
New England's early successes in the war rapidly turned in 1999, when Premier Breton of Quebec, following the fall of the Republic of Quebec, set up the People's Republic of Quebec and allied with New York against New England, hoping to secure New York support in his ongoing war against the Commonwealth. Quebecois and New Yorker troops invaded Connecticut into Massachusetts, killing thousands. The tide turned in the pivotal Battle of Boston, however, as New England and German troops managed to repel the Quebec-New York force. After the fall of the People's Republic of Quebec in 2000, New York was rapidly forced out of New England by the resurgent New England Defence Force. An armistice was signed in 2000, but a final peace treaty was not achieved until the Treaty of San Francisco in 2005. King Edward was a signatory to the treaty, in which New England retained control of Long Island.
The Kingdom of New England has a Parliament, formally known as the Great and General Court of the Kingdom of New England, whose powers are limited by the monarchy. The dominant party is the New England Whig Party, which generally supports the Monarch. Since its foundation from the merger of the New England Democratic and Republican parties in the 1950s, the New England Whig Party has never held less than 60% of the seats in the New England Parliament.
The monarch's powers are somewhat unclear; the constitution specifies the monarch as being head of the executive, with the ability to veto bills and appoint Lords. Most day-to-day administrative duties lie in the hands of the Chancellor, who functions as head of the legislature and prime minister. In practice, however, the monarch wields a large amount of influence over government policies and national opinion, due to their general widespread popularity. No major conflict has ever arisen between Parliament and the King, due to the dominance of the New England Whig Party. As a result, the King effectively controls government policies.
The monarch is elected by a system of tanistry; the King is elected for life by the New England Parliament. There are no constitutional limits on who can become King; however, in practice, only members of the Kennedy-Rockefeller/Kennedy family have yet become King, due to the common practice of kings recommending successors prior to their deaths.
The New England Parliament is a bicameral legislature. The 150-member lower house (the House of Representatives) is directly elected; the upper house (the Senate) is comprised of those who have received peerages (lordships) from the king. This system bears some resemblance to the Roman republican system. Despite the somewhat undemocratic nature of the upper house and monarchy, the Kingdom of New England is considered one of the more democratic American states; most local government matters are voted on by town meetings, and citizen-sponsored referenda are common. The local and provincial governments have relatively little power in relation to the federal government, however.
The New England Republican Movement has existed since the early 1960s, and is generally associated with the Libertarian Party of New England, the largest opposition party. However, it has gained little electoral traction, due to the monarchy's widespread popularity and the stability many New Englanders feel it gives the country. Three citizen-sponsored referenda on the issue have been held, in 1963, 1977 and 1991; all failed, although the republican vote in 1991 exceeded 35%. After the immense cost of the North American War, the New England republican movement grew in popularity. However, a referendum in 2009 confirmed the current system, with over 60% of voters supporting the monarchy.
The Kingdom consists of the provinces of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and the Kennedy Islands (the former Danish West Indies). Although these states at first enjoyed a greater degree of autonomy, the centralisation of power in the federal executive branch to a large degree usurped their powers. Direct gubernatorial elections were abolished in 1965, after the Vermont Winter Rising, and the appointment of governors became the responsibility of the New England Parliament. The provincial parliaments now enjoy a largely advisory role. This weakening of powers has provoked calls for the abolition of the provinces, although no royal proclamations have been made on the issue.
New England's culture would be best described as 'socially liberal'; despite the somewhat oligarchic nature of the New England constitution and its continuing one-party dominance, New England has a reputation as one of the most free-thinking and independent states in North America. Medicinal marijuana is legal, as are most forms of free speech (with the exception of racial vilification). Universal health care and tertiary education are provided by the state, and New England's hospitals and schools are considered some of the best in the world.
However, this comes at a price; New England has the highest taxes in North America. Additionally, the continuing dominance of the House of Kennedy and the Whig Party ensures that contrary economic and social viewpoints are marginalised and given little public attention, through their dominance of the state's media.
The state has a number of newspapers, with the Boston Globe being considered the paper of record within New England and one of the best in the world. There are two state-run television channels, which are reputed for their documentary content, but have been criticised for left-wing bias.
A peerage system of knighthoods and lordships exists; lords, who have generally performed important services for the Kingdom of New England in political or military endeavours, are automatically members of the upper house of the New England Parliament. Lordships are generally for life, although the Constitution retains the power of dismissal by the King, and are non-hereditary.

Anonymous (Computing)
Definition - What does Anonymous (Computing) mean?
Anonymous, in a general computing context, means keeping a user's name and identity concealed through various applications. For security, an application may require that users' names be kept anonymous in order to maintain their privacy or to protect them against cybercrimes such as personal identity theft. Some anonymous computing is done for malicious purposes, in which case users conceal their identities out of fear of social or legal repercussions. Other times, individual anonymous users simply have protective measures in mind.
Techopedia explains Anonymous (Computing)
In communications or social network applications, anonymous posts or entries can be sustained. Legitimate electronic transactions in banking institutions may keep one of the parties anonymous. Other applications offer anonymous file transfers, anonymous logins, anonymous emailing and anonymous blogging (anonoblog). The personal identifiers of anonymous users can be difficult to determine based on the strength of the application's security features. An anonymous proxy helps to protect the confidentiality of web searches so that website operators and other Internet eavesdroppers cannot trace the user's electronic steps or searches.

21. Different Mind
21. Different Mind
Walter must have had enough of watching Squadron 3 stumbling around and trying to hit each other, because he opens after the break by teaching them some actual techniques. There are a variety of stances, punches, chops, blocks, and kicks; all of them originate from a different form of martial arts, and they all have to be executed in a certain manner, lest you reveal a weak spot to your enemy. And all of it is extraordinarily boring…at least, it is to Lai.
She knows all of this already. It's been remotely inserted into her mind, and unlike some people, she's not having any trouble getting her body and brain to coordinate with each other. She doesn't need to know the name of a move in order to use it. Whenever Walter prompts, "Now, try this!" she gives him a passing performance on her first attempt. The apathy on her face is as unsubtle as ever.
At long last, they are allowed to break formation as Ema and Les begin randomly selecting pairs again. Lai is itching to get back into the thick of the sparring, and this time she is partnered with…Alec.
Oh, this should be fun…
Alec is one of the only imps (besides her) who came out on top in all of his morning spars. If her superiors wanted to pit her against someone who might be challenging to defeat, they've made a decent choice. If they wanted to rile her up into a state of high aggression, they've made an ideal one.
"I will never divulge such information to an irresponsible, scatter-brained, foolish young woman such as you…"
Well, we'll see who's the fool now, Mr. Know-It-All.
"I suppose you are to be my partner, then," says Alec contemptuously, peering over the tip of his nose at her. His broken eye sputters in its socket, starkly contrasting the rest of his stock-still body.
Lai presses her lips together. "Mm-hmm." She's simmering internally, but her expression is locked in its usual disinterested glare, detached disdain with just a touch more ice than usual.
"I have heard that you professed an unusual display of skill this morning."
"Oh?" she inquires lightly. "Well, maybe that was just luck." She sweeps her arms and legs into a balanced stance. "Want to find out?"
"Affirmative." He mirrors her position flawlessly, as if proving that he can pull it off better. She guess that he will likely be allowing her to set the pace and tone of the fight. Normally this is a smart strategy, but this time he's going to find himself having a hard time keeping up.
Her fist moves towards his stomach, slowly and obviously, and he promptly raises his palm to deflect the blow. Exactly what she needed, as it gives her enough leverage to jab her foot against his outer thigh. The solid metal of her leg guard is enough to make him stumble, at least, and she wrenches herself free of his grasp while knocking him off balance in the process. He thrusts his arms out to the sides to steady himself, and she lifts her leg higher, striking him squarely in the chest while his hands are unable to grab her.
That's what she thinks, anyway, until an ironclad grip wraps itself around her ankle. "Hey!" she exclaims, struggling to support herself on one wobbling foot. Alec has recovered from his brief bout of imbalance and appears unfazed by her hits. For the first time, it dawns on her what being an android really means: beneath his outwardly normal flesh, there are no easily damaged tissues or nerves that might serve to hinder him. The unyielding metal under his skin must be giving him virtually unlimited pain tolerance and stamina. His broken left eye seems to wink at her, as if confirming her theories.
No fair!, she almost shouts, but then she remembers something from Walter's boring lessons. He's been preaching to them that warisn'tfair, and if you encounter an obstacle, then you have to use what you have to get around it. She can still beat Alec, even if he has the nerve endings of a robot.
It will just be a little harder than she thought, that's all.
"Have you not been warned against using your feet too often in combat scenarios?" he asks coolly.
Lai pushes her lips outwards in a pout. Yes, she can recall something about using kicks as a last resort from Walter's boring speech, but she has so much more strength in her legs than she does in her tiny hands. He should have justmentionedthat she might end up in this awkward scenario, with one limb restrained and the other inaccessible. However, at least fifty percent of her body is still free, so…
"You're right, Alec. I'll be sure to use my hands more from now on." With that, her fist smashes against the side of his neck. His eye widens at this attack on a more vulnerable area of his person, and his fingers loosen a notch – an increment just wide enough for her to wrench her slender ankle from his grasp as she throws herself low to the ground.
In another moment, she is back on her feet, her quickened respiratory rate the only indicator that she wasn't standing there the whole time. She and Alec turn to each other, faces pressed into identical expressions of forced apathy.
If she can't wear him down physically, she'll wear him down mentally, whether he thinks he's impervious to it or not…

Mechanical Factors Causing Accidents
Definition - What does Mechanical Factors Causing Accidents mean?
Mechanical factors causing accidents are factors that are directly attributable to machine or equipment failure or breakdown. Generally, accidents caused by mechanical factors are preventable.
Safeopedia explains Mechanical Factors Causing Accidents
Mechanical factors that cause accidents total less than 10% of the number of industrial accidents. These are caused by a number of factors that are reasonably controllable.
Mechanical failures that have the potential to cause accidents include:
- Power failure - total or partial input/output power failure
- Broken or damaged part - within the engine or machine due to poor quality metal part
- Fire breakout - within the engine or machine due to cooling failure or spark
- Explosion - due to high pressure or uncontrollable situation
- Fuel factor - poor quality or no fuel may lead to stop the engine
- Mechanical mismatch - due to timer or mechanical malfunction
- Linkage failure - shaft, gear, coupling, belt, chain broken or failure
- System leakage - in the pressurized air or fluid system such as hydraulic power
- Fair wear and tear - due to old age
- Control system failure - mechanical, electrical or electronic
- Circuit or program malfunction - due to printed circuit board or electronic component failure
The mechanical failures that would otherwise cause accidents are preventable to some extent by the following actions:
- Planned maintenance - daily, weekly, monthly or operation hour based maintenance
- Repair of defective parts - once detected must be repaired or replaced
- Standard operating procedure to be followed - checks, sequences and other instructions
- Test before use - engines or vehicles must be tested when stationary
- Regular inspections - as per routine and standard operating procedures
- Correct diagnosis and maintenance - as soon a defect is detected

"With the President's signature today, the Small Business Jobs Act will become law, and we will mark a great victory for America's small businesses.
Congress voted for, and the President has now signed into law, a bill that will spur economic growth and create new jobs by encouraging the development of American small businesses. The Small Business Jobs Act increases much-needed lending to millions of small businesses, and offers 8 new tax incentives to companies, so that they may expand, hire, and fuel our economy. It also keeps jobs in America by closing tax loopholes that reward corporations that ship jobs overseas.
Small businesses are the foundation of our economy and are an integral part of creating jobs and rebuilding the economy for the future. We owe it to them to ensure that they have a business environment in this country that helps them grow and flourish. Increased access to capital and new tax cuts will not only keep jobs in America, it will allow small businesses to make it in America.
The Small Business Jobs Act will help America's 27 million small businesses create new jobs and grow with $12 billion in tax cuts. It will make Main Street businesses more competitive with big corporations by leveraging up to $300 billion in private sector lending for small businesses, along with state grants for small business lending. With tax cuts and access to more capital, our nation's small businesses will be able to put more Americans back to work. The Small Business Jobs Act takes another step to end job outsourcing by ending tax incentives for companies that ship jobs overseas. Finally, this bill is fully paid for and will not add a dime to the deficit.
Congress is moving America forward and fighting on behalf of a growing, thriving small business community."

Partner Corner: Managing Energy Costs and Efficiencies
Find out how to raise member awareness about energy efficiency and solutions.
Challenge: Members are overwhelmed with variable energy options. How can our association help raise member awareness of energy issues and provide access to potential solutions?
Solution: In today's volatile energy markets, many organizations look to industry experts for materials and resources that will help them reduce risk, expenses, and usage. As an association leader, your due diligence plays an important role in promoting qualified solutions, not only for your association, but also for your member organizations.
When evaluating energy and utility solutions, it is critical that your members have options. Market conditions, suppliers, and regulations can vary by state and region, which is why there is no single-supplier solution for all. While the greatest potential for electricity and natural gas savings is in deregulated states (because consumers can shop the various suppliers for the best price), demand-side services still secure savings by reducing total energy demand.
Demand-side services include demand-response programs, facility audits, lighting retrofits, and HVAC upgrades. These demand-side services outline specific energy curtailment and the return on investment for your specific facility. There are many grants and different rebate programs depending on the project scope and location.
Contact your local utility provider to determine if your area is deregulated for electric or natural gas supply and what rebates are available for facility upgrades.
Kathy Kiernan is senior vice president of APPI, the independent energy and utility management company that provides ASAE-Endorsed energy cost-reduction services. For more information, call 800-520-6685 or visit www.appienergy.com.
