For the infectious diseases specialist who is hard to buy a gift for:
Four diseases have broken out in the world and it is up to a team of specialists in various fields to find cures for these diseases before mankind is wiped out. Players must work together, playing to their characters' strengths and planning their strategy of eradication before the diseases overwhelm the world with ever-increasing outbreaks. For example, the Operation Specialist can build research stations, which are needed to find cures for the diseases. The Scientist needs only 4 cards of a particular disease to cure it instead of the normal 5. But the diseases are outbreaking fast and time is running out: the team must try to stem the tide of infection in diseased areas while also towards cures. A truly cooperative game where you all win or you all lose. Contents: 96 wooden cubes (for diseases), 5 pawns, 6 wooden research stations, 6 markers: 1 outbreak marker, 1 infection rate marker, and 4 cure markers, 115 Cards: 48 infection cards, 59 player cards, 4 role cards, and 4 quick reference cards

The figures show that $78.2 million in women's soccer scholarships was awarded in 2003-04 -- the last year information is available -- putting soccer third among all women's sports behind only basketball and track & field. The value of a women's soccer scholarship -- how much each player earned on average -- was $8,404, putting soccer 13th among all women's sports.
As for men's soccer, it ranked fifth among all men's sports with $51.6 million spent on athletic scholarships but it was far behind the two giants, football ($367.3 million!) and basketball ($126 million). The value of a men's soccer scholarship was slightly higher than a women's scholarship -- $8,523 vs. $8,404 -- and ranked eighth among all men's sports.
"The youth sports culture is overly aggressive, and while the opportunity for an athletic scholarship is not trivial, it's easy for the opportunity to be overexaggerated by parents and advisers," NCAA President Miles Brand told the New York Times. "That can skew behavior and, based on the numbers, lead to unrealistic expectations."

text: Sep 11, 2011 - I used this shampoo for a couple of years. It cleans really well & is inexpensive. I'm going to reserve it for occasional clarifying now, because I believe it's too harsh & drying to use often. It really does get ALL the residue out of your hair if you cheat & use cones. You'll want to use a good conditioner afterward.

The Arms of the University of Sheffield
The University Arms, whose background colour is azure, contains a gold-edged open book at its centre, on which is inscribed Disce Doce (Learn and Teach). On either side is a sheaf of eight silver arrows, which is derived from the shield of old Sheffield. The gold crown is the Crown of Success and the White Rose of York denotes the University's home county. The scroll carries the motto of Firth College, Rerum Cognoscere Causas (To Discover the Causes of Things; from Virgil's Georgics II, 490).
The coat of arms should not be confused with the University's logo, which appears at the top left of this page. The logo consists of a redrawn version of the coat of arms set alongside the University's name in our own distinctive Stephenson font, on a white background. Introduced in 2005, the University's centenary year, the logo complements but does not supersede the coat of arms, which remains the University's official heraldic symbol.
Reproduction of the University's Coat of Arms is restricted by copyright to formal University of Sheffield documents. It may not be used by external organisations in their marketing activities, whether in hard copy or on the web.

Orientation of Humidifier to Coils
I'm getting ready to install an Aprilaire 700 Humidifier on my Lennox ML 193 Furnace. When reading the installation instructions, it shows the 'typical' installation is mounting the humidifier on the face of the cooling coils. Basically, when you cut the hole, you should see the face of all the coils and not the triangle space of it.
I was wondering why this is, and if you had to. I'm also wondering how you know the orientation of the coil before you start cutting. I'm about 99% sure that it will be installed opposite of where the coil drains and the coolant enters. So, for example...
---Coolant -- | / \ | <- install here
Yep, thats the usual orientation.
To me, furnace mount humidifiers are a wast of time and money, but maybe other people actually service them every week. I have had the best results with a floor console like sears sells.
The drain on all the coils I have ever seen is at the front of the coil and that is where the triangle plate is and that blocks airflow thru the humidiifer. Most coils also have the coolant lines entering there so I think your pic is slightly wrong. CAREFULLY, VERY CAREFULLY drill a 1/4" hole until it JUST perforates the metal. Then poke around with a nail or thin screwdriver and if you hit nothing then enlarge the hole and look inside and then patch it with metal or silver foil duct tape if you got the wrong side
General 1042 bypass humidifier is what I have, built like a tank and I have not had to clean it or change the pad in 8 yrs as my water supply is clean and house is clean and I change my filters. Almost bombproof unit.:thumbsup:
Ah, ok. Thanks for the information.
I took a look around tonight, and I see a good spot, but it's above the coils. I believe that this is a preferred spot, so you don't even mess with them and you get the most humid air into the system.
Is this acceptable? Can I not even worry about messing around with figuring out the orientation of the coil?
Thanks again for all the responses.
Great, thank you for the quick response!

Duct Tape
Listen (MP3)
Listen (RealAudio)
TR (OBAMA): Sometimes things don't work out the way you thought they should and when that happens, usually it's the one thing you were sure was a sure thing and a piece of cake. You're sitting in the White House and getting ready to sign a historic health care reform bill and then you get a phone call from Massachusetts that a guy got elected Senator by driving around in a pickup truck. And there's an earthquake and it's Teddy Kennedy rolling over in his grave. Hello, this is Barack Obama. Don't get caught napping. Take a look at the sure things in your life and get 'em nailed down. Things like your pants. You just always assume they'll be there for you and then you see people snickering and pointing you look down and there's your bare legs. And that's why I've started using duct tape. It keeps your pants secure. Also good for keeping your shirt on and preventing lunch theft. You're sitting there, about to eat lunch put a big strip of duct tape across the plate.
GK: Duct tape it's just about the only thing that really works sometimes. Duct tape....a message from the American duct tape council.

Plain and simple. I doesn't work.
I hope that is as clear as possible.
After my experience with the author of the Politician theme.
I can't make heads or tails with the immpossible-to-navigate areas to contact him. He does not post a contact. Apparently he wants your money but then does not want to be bothered.
The theme is problematic. How can I get a refund? If I cannot get help then give me my money back for the theme and don't waste my time anymore.
I can't ask the author. One needs an invitation code to create an account on his forum.
I cannot find his email address.
This theme is a little clunky for the price. I don't know what "profile page" you are talking about. I regret buying this freaking theme. And I will recommend others to NOT buy it because of the reclusive, difficult to locate, unresponsive author.
Warning: require_once(/home/votebert/public_html/wp-content/themes/politician/functions/admin_options/AdminPageFactory.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/votebert/public_html/wp-content/themes/politician/functions/options.php on line 2

Road workers saw a body lying off the intersection exchange of I-5 and SR-54 in National City. They flagged down a California Highway Patrol unit to report the find.
The section of the freeway was closed for a few hours as homicide investigators came in and the medical examiner's office retrieved the body of what appears to be a middle-aged male.
Authorities state that the circumstances look suspicious. The identity of the body is not yet known.

FLORENCE, SC – After winning two Peach Belt Conference road games in convincing fashion, the Francis Marion University women's basketball team moved up two positions to 15th in this week's USA TODAY ESPN Division II Top 25 coaches' poll released on Tuesday (Feb. 2). Both FMU basketball teams will make the short trip up I-95 to face UNC Pembroke on Wednesday evening (Feb. 3) in a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader.
The women's game will start at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's contest at 7:30 p.m. Follow all the action and results of the twinbill through the FMU athletics website at www.fmupatriots.com.
The Francis Marion women have won seven straight games, are 17-2 overall, and with a 9-1 conference mark stand second in the PBC's East Division, 1.5 games out of the lead.
After being unranked in the 2009-10 preseason poll, Francis Marion has appeared in each of the nine regular-season polls at 22nd, 18th, 17th, 17th, 15th, 18th, 17th, 17th, and now 15th. Unbeaten Franklin Pierce University (19-0) occupies the No.1 spot in the poll for the fifth straight week. Three PBC schools are in this week's poll and one is among the other schools receiving votes.
The UNCP women's team is 11-9 overall and tied for third in the East Division at 5-6. FMU defeated the Braves 77-65 last month in Florence.
Despite a 16-3 overall record and the fact that two of the losses were to nationally ranked teams, the Francis Marion men are still not receiving any votes in the NABC Top 25 poll. The Patriots are second in the East Division standings with an 8-2 mark, while UNCP (6-14, 2-9) is sixth.
The Patriot men also beat the Braves earlier this season in Florence by a 67-64 score.
Wednesday's game will end a three-game road trip for Francis Marion. The Patriots will play host to Armstrong Atlantic State University on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Critical Skills of a Veterinary Student/Veterinarian
The College of Veterinary Medicine at the
University of Missouri has a unique curriculum with emphasis
on general clinical practice. The curriculum does not permit
avoidance of specific species or of physically demanding responsibilities
assigned to students. The clinical curriculum centers on the
actual medical and surgical care of privately owned animals,
the patients.
Because of an obligation to ensure owners
that their animals will receive the best medical care possible,
certain standards are required of MU veterinary medical students.
All students of veterinary medicine must possess those intellectual,
ethical, emotional, and physical capabilities required to
undertake the full curriculum and to achieve the levels of
competence required by the faculty.
Candidates for the degree, Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine must be able to observe demonstrations and perform
experiments and dissections in the preclinical portion of
the curriculum.
Candidates must be able to observe a patient
accurately, at a distance, and close at hand. Observation
necessitates the functional use of the sense of vision and
somatic sensation. A candidate should be able to speak and
hear, and to observe patients in order to elicit client information
and describe changes in a patient's attitude, activity,
and posture. The candidate must be able to communicate effectively
and efficiently in oral and written form. Candidates should
have sufficient motor function to elicit information from
patients by palpation, auscultation, percussion, and other
diagnostic maneuvers.
A candidate should be able to execute movements
reasonably required to provide general care, basic surgery,
and emergency treatment of patients. Students of veterinary
medicine must be capable of providing an acceptable minimum
degree of restraint in animals. Since physical injury is an
inherent risk of caring for sick and injured animals, students
should possess sufficient vigilance, agility, and sensory
perceptions to prevent undue danger to the animals being handled,
other attendants, and themselves.
Problem solving, the critical skill demanded
of veterinarians, requires the intellectual abilities of measurement,
calculation, reasoning, analysis, and synthesis. In addition,
a candidate must possess the emotional health required for
full utilization of intellectual capabilities, the exercise
of good judgment, the prompt completion of all responsibilities
attendant to the diagnosis and care of the patient, and the
development of mature, sensitive, and effective relationships
with patients and their owners.
Examinations will be given to assess progress
and achievement in both the preclinical and clinical curriculum.
Examinations must be completed within the scheduled testing
time unless a medical or personal hardship precludes a student
from taking an examination. Although students with recognized
disabilities may be granted additional test-taking time or
a special testing environment, the physical constraints of
some laboratory or practical examinations may not lend themselves
to reasonable accommodations. (Revised by the Committee on

Video: North Korea shutting down Kaesong, moving missiles to two locations
posted at 9:56 am on April 6, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
So far, nothing seems to be deflecting Pyongyang from its march to … something. US intelligence confirmed that North Korea has moved missile components to two different locations in preparation for a launch, and now we may deploy drones to keep a closer eye on the DPRK's movements. CBS News gives the latest update:
This report from the ground about the closure at Kaesong looks rather ominous as well:
At Kaesong, hundreds of South Korean managers have worked with thousands of North Korean workers to produce a variety of products for the past decade. There was a similar disruption in 2009 — also during U.S.-South Korean military exercises — but that was brief, and manufacturers fear this border shutdown could last longer.
The Unification Ministry said 92 South Koreans headed home Saturday. One manager interviewed as he left, Han Nam-il, said he saw North Korean security officials "fully armed" before he crossed the border.
Another man, Kim Jin-ho, said his factory had only enough raw materials to last for three or four days, as he spoke from the seat of his porter truck full of cardboard boxes.
North Korea is not forcing South Koreans to leave, so the companies are running out of raw material rather than managers. Sung Hyun-sang, head of an apparel manufacturer that employs 1,400 North Korean workers, said Friday that his factory will be "in real trouble" if supplies aren't sent to his factory in Kaesong in a week or two.
As the worker in the video explains, they only have enough food for another two or three days, too. On the lighter side, diplomats around the world agree on the DPRK's handling of their propaganda exercise:
On "CBS This Morning: Saturday," former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Christopher Hill said the situation "bears close watching" but depicted North Korea's actions as "buffoonery."
Be sure to watch the BBC video at this link, too. The "bemusement" about warnings of dangers to diplomats is universal.

Re: Mac 26M, best sailboat?
MSN2Travelers -
Just wanted to say hi. I noticed your post on the 26M in May & saw that you like to sail in Madison, besides the great lakes.
I sail a 26S and am down in Darlington, WI. I just returned from Sister Bay where my wife and I sailed for a week.
A friend next to me in Platteville has a 26M and sails on the Mississippi.
Have you ever tried the Green Bay area, Door County et al.
Anyway, fair wind.
Sorry about they delay in answering your question about the Suzuki prop size/pitch. As I indicated in Feb 2010, my wife was pushing for a bigger boat and (happy wife= happy life) I moved up to a 35' Beneteau by that June.
I don't recall the specifics about the Suzuki anymore. It was the stock prop and I really never worried about performance at sustained speeds. What I had allowed me to achieve 18kts with empty ballast and three adults aboard. We bought it as an entry level sailboat after being in power boats for fifteen years. Now we spend 2-3 weeks cruising Lake Michigan at a time and do the 70 mile crossing between WI & MI with little concern aboard or floating lake cottage.
Re: Great multi-purpose, hybrid sailboat
I have a question for user "MSN2Travelers" about your 50 hp Suzuki. What size blade and pitch do you enjoy best? I am re-powering a 26X, and need to select my prop. What performance can I expect?
Re: Mac 26M, best sailboat?
I have commented on other posts about the 26M...and having owned one...The major fault is that the mast is too tall, chosen to try and gain sailing speed. And the rigging is too light...built to a price. The MAC26 is not a good or fast sailer.
If you want comfort...a big tick.
If you want sailing speed...go elsewhere,
And it needs a fixed tabernacle where the mast base stays attached...the mast raising system is very good, so good I have copied it on my 20 footer...where my mast base is fixed on a tabernacle.
No disconnection needed...not for the base or the nav light wiring.
Just stand in the middle of the foredeck and wind it up or down...and if you shorten the mast, it can hang over the transom when trailering...My little tub has a support crook at the transom...hope this helps...

I like mine.
Does heel, till you easy the sheets. Scares the wife , Kids love the feeling ( kids? The baby is almost 23 ).
Store it in the back yard. Haul it the 15 miles to the Long Island sound, Take half an hour to step the mast and put the main in place ( have the furling foresail ), drop it in the water.
It sails in winds you can barely feel. I single hand most of the time: Putting in in the water sailing and taking it out. No worries.
Too cold now. Haven't had it in the water since the begining of December. But, when the first day of 50 degrees or more happens: "half an hour drive and half an hour prep" ( and no cranes or other rigs involved ).
Don't get me wrong, I would like to have a 50-60 footer with all the bells and whistles. But my silly wife insists we have food on the table, medical insurance, automobiles , and an house. So one must make resonable choices. And the wife stays!

Friends of mine have been boatshopping for several months, waffling between powerboats and sailboats and of course the 26M/X is on their list. After giving them my best old-salt-true-sailor sneer, they laid out their reasoning, causing me to modify my opinion of the Mac 26.
For what it is, it is absolutely EXCELLENT.
The problem is, most people don't know what it is.
It is NOT a sailboat- too tender, rigged too light, too big an engine,too many compromises and a weird hull shape.
It is NOT a powerboat- it's got a mast, boom, too many compromises and a weird hull shape.
What it is is a "happy family boat." Sorta an iphone of a boat. Here's what I mean:
The kids want to get slaphappy silly getting the bejesus bounced out of them while hanging onto a tube for dear life and inhaling half the lake? No problem this boat has an app for that.
Want to enjoy a nice light wind sail and teach the kids about sailing, until they get bored and want to go tubing? No problem. This boat has an app for that.
Wind pick up, storm clouds threatening, everybody is getting a little nervous and you want to get back to the dock quick? No problem. This boat has an app for that.
Want to take the whole family on a sailing vacation for a couple of weeks in the Keys, but you live in Cincinnati? No problem. This boat has an app for that.
Are you a novice boater, unsure whether you will like sailing, unsure whether you will like powerboating, don't want to guess wrong and buy a sailboat when you would rather have a powerboat? No problem. This boat has an app for that.
How many of us have found our kids, once they reach a certain age no longer want to sail, instead they would rather hang out with their powerboat owning friends, because "sailing is slow and boring?" How many of us have spouses who won't sail because they get antsy when they see storm clouds on the horizon? How many of us wish we could cruise our boat in new cruising grounds but can't because we only have two weeks of vacation available?
It's not for me, but it may be the right boat for my friends, and at the end of the day, if you're on the water with a grin on your grille surrounded by a family grinning just as big, then it's the right boat for you.

If you want something from Mac, get a Venture 24. It's a sail boat. And you should always sail the boat before you buy it to see if you like it.

They kinda remind me of a small street/trail motorcycles. Us "real" motorcyclists hate them. They are almost dangerous on and off the road with the tires that do neither road or dirt worth a darn. The engines are too small for the street and the bike is too heavy for the dirt.
But they are often the most fun riding a person will ever do.
Mac owners tell me similar stories, and if I was going to get a boat I could pull with the family car it would be on my short list.
So keep researching and maybe start shopping because the Mac seems to be a great first boat. Should let you find out what parts of boating you like, maybe it is the sailing, maybe it is the ability to get da heck out of the way of weather. The Mac can help you decide what you want in your next boat.
Though I have noticed many Mac owners end up with a bigger Mac so for some it is the perfect boat.

EUR/USD Update Euro to Fall on Massive Money Printing
With the 500-billion-euro ESM in place and a beefed-up European Central Bank ready to intervene massively on the markets, the EU's crisis fighting machinery is taking shape, and elicited positive response on the markets where borrowing costs for weaker eurozone states continued to fall.
For 10-year benchmark government bonds in Spain, widely touted as the next bailout candidate, the return dipped slightly to 5.60 percent, compared with record unsustainable highs above 7.60 percent in July.
When compared with safe German debt, the extra rate, or risk premium, charged on Spanish bonds fell below 4.0 percentage points for the first time since April.
The return on benchmark 10-year Italian government bonds slid to nearly 5.0 percent.
With banking shares buoyed by the decision, Germany's DAX 30 gained 0.46 percent to 7,343.53 points, while in Paris the CAC 40 ended up 0.18 percent at 3,543.79 points.
Madrid climbed 0.78 percent and Milan rallied 1.19 percent.
In foreign exchange deals, the euro was being traded above $1.29 for the first time for four months, reaching $1.2937 at one point. It later fell back to 1.2901, which compared with $1.2848 in New York late on Tuesday.
The German court ruling meanwhile came as an anti-austerity party was set to score big gains in Dutch elections and as EU leaders unveil plans for the first step towards a eurozone banking union.
Investors were also incorrectly looking towards the Federal Reserve, whose policy board is not expected to embark on fresh monetary easing measures as it meets Wednesday and Thursday to address a weak US economy and stagnant job creation.

Softball Voted No. 15 in Preseason USA Today/NFCA Poll
Wolverine associate head coach Bonnie Tholl is in her 24th season as a member of the Michigan softball coaching staff and her 15th as associate head coach. Tholl is the only assistant under head coach Carol Hutchins to ever be elevated to the position of associate head coach.
A long-time fixture in the first-base coaching box, Tholl has been a part of all 12 of Michigan's Women's College World Series appearances, beginning in 1995 and most recently in 2016. She provided guidance for the 2005 Michigan team that set the school record for wins (65) and shattered records in nearly every offensive category en route to the program's first-ever national championship.
Tholl primarily works with the Wolverine outfielders and has overseen the development of nine different All-Americans at the position, including two-time selections Sierra Lawrence (2015, '16) and Kellyn Tate (1996, '98). Under Tholl's tutelage, 17 U-M outfielders have combined for 33 All-Big Ten Conference selections, among them Melissa Taylor, who captured the 2001 Big Ten Player of the Year award. In 2016, outfielders Lawrence and Kelsey Susalla were named to the All-Big Ten first team with Lawrence claiming unanimous selection.
In addition to her gameday and practice on-field responsibilities for the Wolverines, Tholl coordinates the program's recruiting process. Every four-year player since the 1991 recruiting class has been to the Women's College World Series; Tholl brought nearly all of them to Michigan.
Tholl, head coach Carol Hutchins and assistant coach Jennifer Brundage earned the program's first Speedline/NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year honor following the team's title run in 2005. The trio of Hutchins, Tholl and Brundage have earned 12 Great Lakes Region Coaching Staff of the Year honors (1999, 2001-02, '04-05, '08-10, '13-16), while Tholl added a ninth citation as a part of the region's best coaching staff in 1998.
Prior to her return to Michigan in 1994, Tholl served as an assistant and graduate assistant coach at Indiana University for two seasons (1992-93).
Tholl started four seasons (1988-91) at shortstop with the Wolverines, becoming the first player in the history of the conference to earn All-Big Ten first team honors four times. She later coached outfielder Angela Findlay to four straight All-Big Ten first team citations (2007-10). Tholl was selected to the All-Mideast Regional team three times -- twice as a first-team honoree and once on the second-team. She was one of four Wolverines named to the Big Ten All-Decade (1982-92) softball team.
Tholl led the Wolverines in runs for three years in a row (1989, '90, '91), while also leading U-M in walks for three seasons (1988, '89, '91). Tholl also shares the Big Ten Conference record for fewest strikeouts in a conference season (zero in 1991) and is the U-M record-holder for most steals in a game with four swiped bags against Florida A&M in 1990. A former U-M captain, Tholl was the recipient of the 1991 Michigan Maize and Blue award.
Tholl also participated in the 1993 Olympic Sports Festival and played with numerous Amateur Softball Association squads. She was invited to the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team tryout after a successful showing as a member of the U.S. Pan American Games Qualifying Team that advanced to the 1995 Pan American Games. She was also named to the ASA All-America second team in 1992.
Tholl graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in sports management and communications in 1991. She also holds a Master of Science degree in athletic administration from Indiana University (1993).

Looking for the best in dash DVD and screen
I dont know a whole lot about what to look for but im getting one soon so i can play DVDs and then in a few months ill add a whole system to it (amp and speakers maby even a ps2). I was wondering what the best indash dvd and screen is to get.. and which one is the best for under 1.5K
Thank you
Clarion VRX925VD, you can get it @ etronics.com for $1389.99 and dropping...
Main Features
-Touch Screen
-In Dash DVD Player
-MP3 Player
-CD Player
I was just reading up on the Clarion VRX925VD and it seems it is exactly what im looking for the only problem i have so far is that ive heared that you cant have it playing while your moving. Im not very happy about this is there anyway to hook it up or do something to it so it can play while your driving???
all shops technically say that because it is illegal to have it done to work when u'r car is actually in drive..........but if u know the shop thats doing the installation for u, u can ask them to rig it to work when u r in drive also........mine works when driving also, i've got the pioneer one
g luck:thumbup:
if they wont do it
can you do it yourself?
Question..Do we need to get a new amp when we get a new headunit like the Clarion 925
or Panasonic 7200U? Or does the HK amp work ok with it?
I was also wondering if this indash dvd headunit would work without an amp. but all i have is the regular stock stero system (non HK) would i still be able to use this???
Look into Panasonic CQ-VAD7200U or CQ-VAD9200U
Both are comparable to the Clarion unit but w/o touch screen. 7200 is actually more like the Clarion but plays MP3 CDs. The 9200 unit has a center channel amp built in and 5.1 digital encoder built in..in which the Clarion has it but has to be bought seperately. I got the 9200 version but haven't installed it. Bought it for $1700.

The down-home attitude, and her revulsion to Castro, date back to her childhood—she fled Cuba with her parents at age 7.
Or is it revulsion at the offensive incivility of the process, at the arrogance of these youths?
Amid the revulsion at the earlier horror of the clip, this became a mere background detail.
As a wave of revulsion spread across the internet, he began to backtrack.
In turn, Iran reacted to Western revulsion with a anything from surprise to careless dismissals.
And then, in the revulsion from his high spirits, he was overwhelmed with despair.

The meaning "sudden reaction of disgust" is first attested 1816.
revulsion re·vul·sion (rĭ-vŭl'shən)
A sudden, strong change or reaction in feeling, especially a feeling of violent disgust or loathing.
Counterirritation used to reduce inflammation or increase the blood supply to an affected area.

Like the more than 15 civilian agencies lambasted for poor cybersecurity practices in a Feb. 4 Senate committee minority report, it appears the National Security Agency is also guilty of failing to promptly upgrade its IT software and security measures.
Feb. 8 article in the New York Times quotes intelligence officials who claim that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden programmed "web crawler" software to mine data in NSA systems in an automated fashion while he was on the clock. He ultimately copied 1.7 million files.
NSA investigators told the Times that Snowden almost certainly would have been caught had he worked at NSA's headquarters in Fort Meade, Md., where systems had been updated to detect when large volumes of data were accessed and downloaded.
But because he worked at NSA outposts in Hawaii that had not received upgraded security measures -- first at an underground Dell facility in Oahu and later at an office of contractor Booz Allen Hamilton -- Snowden was able to access what NSA Deputy Director Rick Ledgett called "the keys to the kingdom."
"Some place had to be last" to get the security upgrade, an intelligence official told the Times.
The Times article bears a striking resemblance to a February report by Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that documents a multitude of IT security gaffes. That compilation of information from inspector general reports, the Office of Management and Budget, and other sources shows how scores of agencies regularly failed to secure servers, install routine software patches or updates, or fix known vulnerabilities. Consequently, hackers accessed, stole and took over networks at more than 15 agencies, according to the report, which cited only incidents that were made public.
The report reads like a greatest-hits album for the biggest IT failures in government. Among the worst:
Despite those issues, DHS was tied for first among federal agencies for compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act in the report OMB submitted to Congress last March. DHS, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the General Services Administration all scored 99 percent.
However, NRC was roasted in the Senate committee's report for storing sensitive cybersecurity details for nuclear plants on an unprotected shared drive. The report claims that NRC employees share a lack of confidence in the IT department -- not a good omen for the agency in charge of storing highly sensitive nuclear-related data. As of 2012, the agency's IG said, officials still had not made good on corrective efforts.
The report highlights a slew of other major IT cybersecurity bungles by civilian, defense and military agencies that spent more than $80 billion on IT last year. With the now-public knowledge that NSA didn't update IT security for at least one of its facilities, it appears the intelligence community is not immune to cybersecurity issues either.

Facts like these no longer surprise. The calamity will not end until the federal employees responsible for these are held accountable for malfeasance, negligence, incompetence--you name it. Some firings in the public square, coupled with criminal investigations would be appropriate. Certainly go after contractors who can be held responsible, too. Name all parties publicly. There is no Privacy Act protection that can shield these incompetent miscreants.

The episode begins with Khushi changing Shyam's locket with another locket. Khushi tells Shyam that his chain has mistakenly fallen down on the floor.
Shyam takes the locket and asks Khushi to put it on for him. Khushi asks Shyam if he really needs to wear two chains. Shyam immediately tells her that he was just kidding and puts the locket in key chain.
Khushi tries to open the chain but fails and throws it on the floor. NK notices a pendrive in the locket and tells Khushi that there might be some secret information in the pen drive.
NK starts the laptop and inserts pen drive to the laptop. NK feels bad to see that it needs a password. He tries to use Shyam and Anjali's names but it does not work.
NK tells Khushi that they have to use the correct names otherwise it will crash. Khushi feels sad and NK tells her not to worry because they will surly find a way for this.
Khushi tells NK that they have to keep this locket in Shyam's room. Khushi tries make Shyam busy by talking with him. When Shyam was busy with Khushi, NK changes the locket in Shyam's room.
Manorama, NK and Khushi are surprised to see a gift from Arnav's side. Khushi tells NK that they know that the gift was not sent by Arnav. Manorama tells them that it was sent by the kidnappers.
Manorama decides to find Arnav with her own plan. Khushi promises Manorama that they will soon find the whereabouts of Arnav.

World Chefs: Santos rides on food-sharing trend
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Chris Santos is riding on the current trend of small plates and food sharing at his new restaurant Beauty & Essex in New York.
The restaurant's menu takes a page from its nearby sibling The Stanton Social, which opened in 2005. Both offer Santos' bite-size spins on familiar fares like tacos, pierogies and French onion soups.
The 39-year-old Rhode Island native spoke to Reuters about food sharing, creating menus and his ambitions.
Q: How long did it take you to conceptualize the Beauty & Essex's extensive menu?
A: "I started working on it in June 2009, and we opened in December 2010. I probably cooked and created about 300 different dishes during that process. Once a week I would come up with six to 10 items, spend two days preparing them and present them to my two business partners. We would eat them and have a honest dialogue on whether they are good for the menu. After I went through 300 dishes, I went back to all my notes. There were about 100 to 120 that created strong impressions and I cut them down to 40 to 50."
Q: How does Beauty & Essex fit into this trend of sharing and small plates in New York?
A: "With Stanton Social, it's the whole style we promote -- sharing everything and everyone orders and eats communally with plates in the middle where they share everything. It becomes subconsciously a social experience. I don't know who did that except for traditional tapas restaurants five, six years ago. In Beauty & Essex's menu, the very first words you see are 'start sharing.'"
Q: Why do you think this concept has grown in popularity? Continued...

Navies to Tackle Somali Pirates
BBC reports:
"The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to allow countries to send warships into Somalia's territorial waters to tackle pirates."
Full Story Here
I think that they should send in Q-ships to draw the pirates into close range and blow them away.
Thus saving us an expensive show trials. Where the preps would be let off because they had a terrible childhood or for some other liberal reason.
I like your thinking... too bad no military has the guts to do it. :)
What an excellent idea. Pirates do it because the money outweighs the risk, and also because they are apparently unburdened by any moral hesitation.
So if the risk/reward equation changes, the pirates will go look for someone else to steal from, or move away, or get actual jobs, or whatever....
There's a reason why pirates traditionally are liable to be tried under the law of any nation that captures them (a "stateless crime")--because no nation likes them, and no nation is willing to own up to their being citizens of that nation.
It's a big, big, problem for both merchant shipping and long-distance recreational cruisers.
Good, go get 'em. I'm a firm supporter of the "bait and shoot" way of hunting vermin :)
AH yes, not that I agree with the modern pirate, as I have relatives from the 1700's that were on pirate ships of the day..........For the current one's blow em up!
The ones from the 1700's to 1800's were usually paid for by part of the loot, along with giving some of it to the "king" of the country that hired them.
can't we just napalm somalia?
If you selectively nuke the a few countries in that area, you'd create just enough nuclear winter to offset global warming, stop the rapid melting of the worlds glaciers and ice pack and save the Polar Bear. Thereby solving the worlds problems via the application of high explosives!
I think even Greenpeace could get behind the idea.
Only force will stop them.
The waters off most coasts in Indian Ocean basin are very shark infested.
So when captured, take their boats away from them and make them walk home. This would be a modern day version of walking the plank.
But you need to know those are backing these idiots and getting them the boats and weapons, take them them several miles offshore and let them walk home also. Sort of survival of the fittest. And in the Indian Ocean, Sharks are at the top of the food chain.

Shares of wireless service provider Clearwire Corp rose 5% on Wednesday following a U.S. government decision to block start-up LightSquared from building a rival wireless network.
Late on Tuesday, regulators said there was no solution to interference problems the LightSquared (Reston, Va., USA) network would have caused with critical services that rely on the Global Positioning System (GPS), including aviation.
Clearwire (Kirkland, Wash., USA) shares rose 12 cents to $2.41 in morning trade on Nasdaq. Shares of Dish Network (Meridian, Colo., USA) rose 2.4% $29.04 as some investors bet that it too could benefit from LightSquared's woes.
LightSquared, backed by Philip Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners, wanted to use satellite spectrum it bought to build a network to sell wholesale wireless services to compete with Clearwire, which has set itself up as a wholesale provider of wireless capacity.
At a time when all U.S. operators say they face a scarcity of wireless spectrum, the elimination of LightSquared spectrum for cellular services would help Clearwire, which has lots of wireless spectrum to spare, Evercore analyst Jonathan Schildkraut said.
"Any event which decreases the supply of available spectrum should be a positive for Clearwire, which remains one of the last holders of immediately deployable excess spectrum," he said. "As such, we would look for Clearwire to announce new wholesale agreement wins over the next several months."
Dish Network could benefit if it can get FCC approval to use spectrum it has bought for cellular services. Analysts have said the Dish spectrum may not have the same interference problems as the LightSquared spectrum.

I have seen many examples over the years discussing the scripting of CCRs to push SMS clients but I've never seen one using CCRs submitted to MPs.
So what is a CCR anyway? A CCR is a text file, usually created by SMS, that is read by the SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER (CCM) thread of the SMS Executive (SMSEXEC) service. The CCM thread then uses the information in the CCR to push the SMS Client to a machine.
CCRs are created when you use the "Client Push Installation Wizard" or try to install a client under the context of the logged on user and that user doesn't have the appropriate rights to complete the installation. When the logged on user doesn't have rights the installation sends a request to the SMS 2003 MP so that a CCR gets created and the client gets installed from the server. This is a simple http request which is handled on the MP by an ISAPI filter installed when the SMS 2003 MP was first setup. You can view this ISAPI in IIS Manager and also see the request logged in the IIS logs on the MP.
Each CCR contains several properties. To view the properties of a CCR simply stop the SMS Executive service on your site server and install a client using the "Client Push Installation Wizard". After doing this you should have a <machinename>.ccr in your SMS\inboxes\ccr.box directory which you can open in notepad. Previous methods of scripting the creation of CCRs involved creating the actual file and copying it to the Logon Point (SMS 2.0), the Client Access Point (CAP), or directly into the ccr.box directory. This method may fit better in some environments where file shares have been locked down.
The one CCR property which isn't obvious, but very important, is the "Forced CCR" property. This tells CCM whether or not to reinstall the SMS client if it is already installed. Setting the bForcedCCR variable to TRUE in the VBScript example below will cause CCM to reinstall the client you specify.
'Fill in the variables with the appropriate information
sMP = "MYSMSMP"
sDomain = "MYSMSDOMAIN"
sClient = "MYSMSCLIENTBOX"
bForcedCCR = TRUE
'iClientType = 1 'ct= -1=Auto, 0=Desktop, 1=Advanced
'bDC = TRUE
sQuery = "http://" & sMP & "/sms_mp/machine.ccr?mn="_
& sClient & "&dn=" & sDomain & "&fkey=" & bForcedCCR
Set xmlHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xmlHttp.Open "SMS_POST", sQuery, False
If xmlHttp.Status = 200 Then
WScript.Echo "CCR generated for " & sClient
WScript.Echo "Error generated CCR for " & sClient
WScript.Echo "Http Status = " & xmlHttp.Status
End If
Set xmlHttp = Nothing
When creating a CCR via an MP you currently cannot specify the "Client Type" or "PushClientEvenIfDC" properties because of the problem documented in KB886055. The default is always advanced client and not to install on DCs.
To execute the code above simply copy/paste the code above into a file with the extension of .vbs, edit the variables at the top to include your environment specific information, save the file, and run it. Use the attached flowchart to understand how CCRs created via MPs work.

2. Don't Be Needy
People can smell any sense of urgency, and they're easily turned off. An audience wants to feel like it's in good, stable hands, and a comedian needs to exude that tone while putting aside her own insecurities. This rule of thumb applies to just about any attempt at persuasion. If I get the feeling that a person desperately wants something from me (not including one of my kids), I am more reluctant to give it up. For instance, when an agent goes overboard trying to ingratiate himself with me, I run the other way. So the next time you want something from someone (no matter how much), try acting cool and blasé.

Are you:
NO! You're rowing as part of a crew team!
In some team sports, play often focuses on an individual player, like when a football quarterback throws for a touchdown or a soccer forward kicks for a goal. But in rowing (also called crew), it's always about the team working together as a single unit, like a perfectly tuned machine. If you value teamwork and cooperation above individual stardom, crew may be just the sport for you!
As long as there's a team or club in your area, rowing is one of the easiest sports to get started in because there are very few rules or techniques to get used to.
Athletes who row crew need upper and lower body strength, plus plenty of endurance for long races. Rowing also requires agility, grace, and the ability to get perfectly in sync with your teammates.
Crew Basics:
Cool Crew and Rowing Facts:
What Kids Are Saying About Crew and Rowing:
�I have an older brother who rows eights for his high-school team. I want to row eights or fours someday. It's the coolest school sport there is."

�Rowing is a really fun sport to do, and to watch! Every year we have a regatta, where all different schools come to race."
--Bryce, 11
�I know a girl who's a coxswain on a boy's rowing team! She tells them how fast to row, and is in charge of all the practices!"

Ethan Jones, 22, dropped out of school to play in a band with his dad. But dad's not in the band anymore, because he's in rehab. Ethan tears it up on Edwin McCain's I'll Be -- excellent song choice.
Randy likes how unassuming he is. And it turns out he's a country singer, even though he didn't audition with a country song. So this guy's got some breadth.
Afterwards, he calls his dad in rehab to say that he made it.
"I'm totally clean, totally sober," his dad says. "So good to hear your voice."
Here's more of Ethan from St. Louis:

China Raises Fuel Prices Amid Strong Rally in Crude Oil
Capitals flowed into the commodity market on Monday as world market leaders pledged to continue the stimulus measures. Crude oil price rose to an intra-day high of 80.19 in NY session but selling pressure above 80 was quite strong. The benchmark contract settled at 79.43, up +2.6%, for the day.
The Chinese government raised ex-factory price of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel for the first time in 2 months in light of rally in crude oil price. According to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), gasoline and diesel prices were both increased by RBM 480/metric ton, or +7% and +8%, respectively. 'The adjustment will encourage refineries to boost production and guarantee domestic supply... it will also help energy conservation and reduce emissions'.
Unlike countries in the advanced economy, prices for oil products in China is under government's control in order to make sure that consumers with low affordability can also buy oil products. However, such control has squeezed refinery margins on refiners for years.
In early May, NDRC unveiled more details about the new oil pricing mechanism introduced in the beginning of 2009. Under the new policy, NDRC may adjust domestic oil product prices when the moving average of 'international crude oil prices' (Brent, Dubai and Cinta) change more than 4% of a period of 22 working days.
The last price adjustment made by the NDRC was on September 30 when it reduced fuel prices after increasing it on September 1. The time between this and the previous change was longer than the 22-day average as scheduled. This might have raised concerns that the mechanism is not closely followed. However, after deducting domestic holidays, the time difference is 23 days which suggested the government policy remained intact.
In Iran, the government has also planned to increase gasoline prices over the next 5 years so as to reduce the subsidy on fuel consumption.
Gold price rallied to as high as 1111.7 before retreat. The December contract added +0.5% to close at 1101.4. Robustness in gold on Monday was driven mainly driven by weakness in dollar. As there's no sign that world market leaders are going to arrest the decline in USD, the dollar index plummeted to the lowest in 15 months yesterday.
IMF's gold sales to the RBI spurred speculations that other central banks, especially from emerging economies, is also seeking reserve diversification to gold. While the market expects that China will likely absorb the rest of IMF's announced gold sales, Wei Benhua, former deputy head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said that China should not rush. Instead if should wait for gold price to drop to a 'relatively low level of around $800/oz'.

Citation: Blair, J.M., Fay, P.A., Knapp, A.K., Smith, M.D., Collins, S.L. 2010. Impacts of altered rainfall timing and warming in a mesic grassland ecosystem. In: Proceedings of the Ecological Society of America Abstracts, August 1-6, 2010, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. OOS 35-3. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Grasslands are highly responsive to inter- and intra-annual variability in precipitation and temperature, which interact to affect soil water dynamics and the plant and soil processes mediated by soil water availability. In the U.S. Central Plains mean temperatures are expected to increase and rainfall patterns are predicted to become more variable and extreme, with increased frequency of large rainfall events and extended inter-rainfall droughts. Changes in the timing of rainfall events will alter soil water dynamics, and increased temperatures may intensify or moderate the impacts of altered rainfall timing on key ecosystem processes, such as plant productivity, soil CO2 flux, and soil N availability. We have been assessing the consequences of these climate changes for 12 years, using field-scale rainfall manipulation plots to alter the timing of growing season rainfall events (since 1998) and infrared heaters to increase mean temperature (since 2003) in intact plots of native tallgrass prairie at the Konza Prairie Biological Station. The long-term nature of this study and inherently high inter-annual climatic variability of these grasslands allows us to begin assessing the conditions under which altered rainfall timing and warming are likely to have their largest effects. More extreme patterns of growing season rainfall, with no change in total amounts, significantly reduced the mean and increased variability in soil water content in most years. Warming increased soil temperatures by ~1.5ºC and reduced in mean soil water content. The effect of altered rainfall timing on ANPP varied across years, but when significant it reduced ANPP by 13-22%. Across all years, annual total ANPP was positively related to mean soil water content, and negatively related to within season soil moisture variability, and grasses were more responsive than forbs to soil moisture dynamics. Warming accelerated early season plant growth, but this effect did not persist through the growing season. When significant, warming reduced ANPP by 10%, with forbs generally being more responsive than grasses. Mean annual soil CO2 flux was generally reduced by altered rainfall timing by 11%, while the effects of warming were contingent on annual rainfall amounts and differed for growing and non-growing seasons. Elevated temperatures decreased growing season soil CO2 by 9% flux in dry years, but stimulated soil CO2 flux in wet years and in the non-growing season (by 11%). Altered rainfall timing increased resin-bag collected nitrate by up to two-fold, with no apparent increase in plant uptake. In contract, warming had no effect on soil N availability. These results suggest that the effects of warming on these grasslands will depend to a large extent on changes in amounts and timing of rainfall.

Interesting take from the team's biggest critic. From the Lexington Herald-Leader's Mark Maloney:
Hall of Famer Brennaman offers scoop on the Reds
Had a chance to talk with Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman when the Cincinnati Reds Caravan visited Lexington on Saturday.
Always delightful, Brennaman usually is optimistic at Caravan time.
Heres some of what he had to say about the 2009 Reds.
Marty Brennaman
Im optimistic. I know this time last year I was, and I was dead wrong about the team. Everybody seemed to be as one last year that they were going to be better. Now, fast-forward to a year later, Im still optimistic, and a lot of the people become naysayers. Its going to be interesting.
I think they improved themselves behind the plate in Ramon Hernandez. I think they improved themselves in center field with Willy Taveras. They picked up a situational left-hander in Arthur Rhodes, who will help the bullpen.
I think you have to look at this division before making some type of prediction. If the Cubs have improved themselves and Im not so sure they have (and) if they are able now to go out and get (pitcher) Jake Peavy before the season begins, they will separate themselves even more from the rest of the division. But if you assume theyve helped themselves. The only other team in this division who I think has (improved) has been the Reds. I dont think Milwaukee has, Houston has, St. Louis has or Pittsburgh.
Its a different team from what weve been watching for the last however-many years because its a team thats going to rely pretty much on pitching, defense and speed, and not feature the big home-run bats that theyve been noted for all these (recent) years. They go into Great American Ball Park, and the park was built to take advantage of the power of Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. And it didnt work out. So theyre going to strike off in a different direction, and I agree with that 100 percent.

Darfuris name babies after ICC prosecutor: Farrow
By Edith Honan
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Some refugees in Sudan's war-torn Darfur region have named their children "Okambo" as a tribute to the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo, actress Mia Farrow said on Friday.
"I've met at least 100 babies named Ocampo," Farrow, a U.N. goodwill ambassador, told reporters following a U.N. Security Council meeting on Darfur. "They spell it Okambo. ... So the name has been Africanized."
The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for the arrest of Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir in March, charging him with masterminding mass killings and deportations in Darfur in western Sudan.
The Sudanese government has rejected Moreno-Ocampo's charges and is refusing to cooperate with the court.
Moreno-Ocampo was at the United Nations to update the Security Council on activities related to the Bashir case and five others he has submitted to the court on possible war crimes in Darfur.
Breaking with standard U.N. practice, Moreno-Ocampo stood beside Sudanese U.N. Ambassador Abdalmahmoud Abdalhaleem, one of his most vocal critics, as the envoy addressed reporters at a press stakeout after the meeting.
Officials waiting their turn to speak typically stand to the side, out of view of TV cameras.
"Mr. Ocampo, you are not welcome in this place. You abuse the image of the United Nations," Abdalhaleem said, adding that Moreno-Ocampo was a "mercenary." Continued...

This audit is Phase 2 of the 2015 Digital Dashboard: Status
Review of ICT Projects and Initiatives. It examined six
information and communications technology (ICT) projects to
determine if they were appropriately planned, managed and
implemented in terms of time, cost, benefits realisation and
The audit confirms that ICT projects continue to show poor
planning and implementation with cost and scheduling overruns.
While one of the six projects examined finished on schedule, none
was or will be completed as initially budgeted. One project was
terminated prior to system delivery, six years after its planned
completion date and over twice its intended budget. Most of the
projects examined faced significant challenges at various points
during implementation.
Despite this, the audit saw some elements of better practice at
the University of Melbourne and Yarra Valley Water which
contributed to project completion.
Clearly defined governance arrangements do not
necessarily guarantee a successful ICT project. Agencies should
work on developing a robust culture of active governance at the
senior management level to make informed decisions and to
effectively engage with consultants and vendors.
The audit restates better practice elements from VAGO's 2008
guide, Investing Smarter in Public Sector

I've read a lot about the second hands on even high-end quartz watches not aligning with the minute markers. To tell you the truth, I have passed on a number of high-end quartz watches because I feel that it's a precision and quality control issue well within the capabilities of the watch companies to correct. I won't buy a quartz watch if the second hand stops off the minute markers. Why won't the watch companies fix this? Who wants to pay $2,000 for a high-end quartz watch that shows such a lack of attention to detail? Quartz watches are supposed to be ultra-precise, but if they can't get the second hands to line up correctly, what kind of dedication to precision does that show? I won't order a quartz watch online . . . I have to see the second hand in operation at the "brick and mortar" store before I will buy it.
I could see an ad campaign by a company that capitalizes on the fact that no watch leaves their factory with a misaligned second hand. I really would like to see this!
