"This book will whet the interest of RAF fans in general, and in particular fans of the Canberra." Aeroscale
"Osprey does a great job of showing the development and changes from the early B.2 to the late PR.9. The color schemes shown are representative of the times and places where the Canberra earned its reputation as a pretty darned good bomber.Recommended." Jim Pearsal, IPMS/USA
"Included in the book are the usual great pilot stories, excellent period photos, some in color, and a goodly number of full color profiles, covering the types nearly 55 years of operational use by the RAF. It is a great read and an equally good reference book. One that is a must for the Canberra fan." Scott van Aken, www.modelingmadness.com

Charit-i: Zemoga Responds To PSFK Future Of Health Report
Charit-i is a social network and site where people from all over the world can collaboratively fund projects that benefit remote or underprivileged communities.
Charit-i: Collaborative Change
Charit-i is a social network and site where people from all over the world can collaboratively fund projects that benefit remote or underprivileged communities.
The residents of these areas can use mobile phones to text requests that are then posted to Charit-i using a web-based application. Donors on the site can contribute varying amounts of money to each cause, earning social credits and potentially prizes from the petitioners.
The website also enables donors to spread the word and solicit extra support from friends on other social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter.
From planting new crops to fixing wells, gathering much-needed medical supplies to building low-income housing, Charit-i uses a fairly new concept called "crowdfunding" to bring out the best in all of us and leverage technology to bring about real change.
PSFK's Future of Health Report shines a light on innovation occurring within the health and wellness space around the world. This document brings together both literal and lateral inspiration to provide a framework within which businesses can begin to contemplate the issues facing UNICEF and community health workers. These issues include limited resources, technological constraints, lack of health education, and limited access to timely and relevant health and wellness information.
In an effort to start this exciting conversation, PSFK challenged advertising and design agencies from around the world to react to the Future of Health report. They were tasked with developing concepts in the form of products, services or communications that addressed one or more of the needs set forth by UNICEF. The end result of this initial phase of ideation is more than 40 innovative concepts.
The following ideas are from Zemoga Inc. The agency has responded with six ideas; two concepts, two products and two services. The full response is available for download on request here.

The Library will be conducting a Library User Survey next month. On Oct. 2, via email, random samples of faculty and staff, graduate and professional students, and undergraduates will be invited to take part in the survey. The invitation will contain a link to the survey that will be conducted through Oct. 21, 2012.
There are three different surveys: One focuses on faculty and staff needs. A second focuses on the needs of graduate and professional students. Undergraduates will receive a third survey that is geared towards their academic needs. The surveys are similar but contain some differences in questions that will address a number of specific needs of individual user groups.
The strategic plan of Iowa State University and that of the Library influenced the goals and content of this survey. This survey aims to measure the quality, impact and importance of the library's services and collections.
Your input will help shape the future of the library! As a result of input from previous Library surveys, Bookends Café was opened, multi-media technology tools were introduced in the Learning Connections Center, more e-journals were purchased, and public study spaces have continued to be upgraded and increased.
For additional information see the detailed FAQ, or if you want more information or if you do not receive the survey, but would like to participate, contact Sarah Passonneau, Assistant to the Dean of the Library, at 515-294-2117, or at email@example.com

I was wondering if people could give me any recommendations on earphones (wired or wireless). I have a budget up to say 200 USD but willing to go higher if they have good quality or awesome style.
if you could post the link to the manufacturers or a amazon link that would be awesome
beast solo if you want to jump to the studio version Id so do it there noise canceling
beats by dre, studio or solo no questions
Sennheiser HD-580's
I think you need to also share a bit of your exact needs… there are good headphones, and great headphones, but none is a great headphone – all-round. Beats by dre, well yeah, a good way to spend a lot of money for some decent bass. Not the best, not by far. However, as I don't wish to start a flamewar, as beats by dre have been marketed in a very apple-esque way, I'll just consider that my personal unimportant opinion. I did however try both the solo's and the studios, they are both decent, but not worth the money (at least to me).
Regarding the needs I mentioned, as I said above, if you just want them for pleasure and strong bass, and want to go with the flow, go for beats by dre, but bump up to PRO . Most consistent sound, best materials, and an actual "top of the line".
If you want them for gaming… there's a broad range of accurate and well-balanced headphones, out of which I can strongly recommend Steelseries Siberia, any version you get. Other than that, pretty much all major gaming hardware brands brought their own competition to the market, such as Razer Orca, or Roccat Kave, and many more… pretty much the same quality in different brands and colors. If you expect the same bass as in the beats by dre, be prepared to pay more though.
Lastly, music enjoyment… well, here's where I rather stfu, as I have no proper experience, and I'm sure a guru from over at AudioJungle will be better suited to give recommendations where needed.
Hope this helps, and for the sake of cleanliness of this thread, I apologize in advance if my comments regarding beats by dre end up offending anyone, and kindly ask the offended ones to contact me personally through my personal page for spamming and flaming. Thank you!
Thanks for the mega reply, its always good to read long content. Its mainly for music (Spotify) and Youtube, and possibly if there was a version with a mic then Skype but thats not a massive thing.. I was looking more for in-ear but over ear are ok.
I might go for beats but i will leave it a while to see what other people say.
I'm not impressed by Dre phones – period – and I love Dre – I have his entire discography. I did side-by-side comparison of his phones and a $50 pair of JVC . Sounded the same – JVC had better mid-range response during hard bass hits. Deep wobble bass sounded better in Dre.
If your out to blow dough – might as well go all the way to get Bose! They'll take you for a bigger ride than Dre.
What I hear in headphones and you hear in headphones are two different things regardless of the fact that I've lost my hi-pitched hearing do to bass competitions – and generally having my system too loud.
There is no "One size fits all" headphone. If you want reduced background noise, get phones that cover your entire ear – yeah – the big ones – aka "Studio Style Phones".
Go to your local market and try on each and every pair you can – even the cheap ones. I know your going to laugh at me, but some of the best bass I have ever heard from headphones have come from a pair of phones that costs $9.00 USD . [Sony MDR -W08] They look weak and flimsy, but the fit is sort-of comfortable under a baseball cap and the bass is stellar. If they fit you well, they can even block out background noise.
Most importantly find a pair that are comfortable for you and the length of time you will be wearing them. Some squash your ears into your skull which is mildly discomforting. Some feel like they are trying to drive a train through your ear canal after a few minutes in your ear.
I'm willing to give a little quality for sustained comport – after all, if you don't wear them because they hurt, whats the point of spending so much money on them?
Audiobooks don't sound so well on phones made for bass – just the same as bass music doesn't sound well on phones made for audiobooks/phone conversations.
Also if you want sound quality, stay away from phones that have any "equalizer" or "bass boost" built into them. They are trying to cram a complicated system into a small package – which they always seem to place in the most inconvenient place on the cord. Let your audio device control the "eq" as these are often better suited to do so.
Also, take note that "studio phones" often have a 1/4" plug and most consumer devices have an 1/8" jack. If you buy an adapter – make sure that it is "stereo to stereo" instead of being "stereo to mono".
Also, if you are listening to poor quality audio 128 bitrate or below – its going to sound crappy no matter how expensive your headphones are. Personally, I consider audio at a 320 bitrate to be marginally above crappy – but that's the audiophile in me.
For testing audio systems I like to play "Papercut" or "Cure for the Itech" by Linkin Park. "Normal" bass, good mids and highs! For testing subs/bass I use "Solo" by Iyaz. Drop them on your mp3 player and take it with you when you try on different phones.
Just my 2¢ from a life time of experience being an audiophile.
Creating audio for more than 15 years has tought me one thing, ears are highly personal. What sounds good to one person sounds different to another. Go to the store and take a listen. It's worth your time.

Sumiko IV was the fourth planet in its star system. This planet was home to the Cliffs of Heaven.
The Cliffs of Heaven were recreated in Holodeck Program 47-C aboard the USS Enterprise-D. In 2368, Kristin was injured twice while diving from the cliffs on Sumiko IV. (TNG: "Conundrum")
The script originally referenced the Cliffs as being on Cirrus IV, and the Emerald Wading Pool being on Sumiko III. [1] The final cut of the episode instead referenced the Cliffs as being on Sumiko IV and the Wading Pool on Cirrus IV.

Shockingly, in Brad Gooch's new Flannery O'Connor biography, the phrase "Christ-haunted South" doesn't even make a single appearance. In retrospect, I think this may be to Gooch's credit, and here's why: the field of publishing about Flannery O'Connor has been so dominated by devout Catholics and evangelical Protestants that readers who share neither persuasion have become frustrated with the religious emphasis in O'Connor scholarship. (It was eye-opening to me when a grad school professor expres … [Read more...]

text: Has anyone had Glock refinish one of their slides? I know I can send it to Robar but even on the low side it is going to cost around $200 plus shipping. Glock says they charge $45 plus shipping. The front sight will need replacing so I would send a set of XS Big Dots to have them installed after the refinishing. There is no charge for that from Glock since I am supplying the sights. They would charge for a front sight if I did not supply my own since the original front sight cannot be replaced.

... but I'll probably wait until we're about 2 weeks out.
Ok because of the high interest already, I'll officially open this so go ahead and pick your team. I'll write out the rules now.
I'd hate to get the Chiefs right now considering they've been pidgeon-holed to pick that Leon Sandcastle kid.
Fast dude too; runs a 4.2 forty apparently....
I'll take the Rams.
If memory serves I had the Chargers last year, might as well take them again
Top priority being someone who can defend 4th and 29 :)
I'm usually more of a lurker but I get really into the draft plus this sounds fun.
I'll draft for the Titans being from Nashville. :thumbup:
I'll take Denver.
I'm moving soon to the ATL so I'll take them. Will lean on draftnik support for help. I can tell you it will be defense LOL!
Don't get it twisted. I'll be repping the purple and black down there.
IN all seriousness I'll take Green Bay. :)
EDIT: simultaneous Packers pickin'
I'll take the Seahawks

The impact of sovereign wealth funds on global financial markets
This paper analyses the impact of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) on global financial markets. It presents back-of-the-envelope calculations which simulate the potential impact of a transfer of traditional foreign exchange reserves to SWFs on global capital flows. If SWFs behave as CAPM-type investors and thus allocate foreign assets according to market capitalisation rather than liquidity considerations, official portfolios reduce their "bias" towards the major reserve currencies. As a result, more capital flows "downhill" from rich to less wealthy economies, in line with standard neoclassical predictions. More specifically, it is found that under the assumption of SWFs investing according to market capitalisation weights, the euro area and the United States could be subject to net capital outflows while Japan and the emerging markets would attract net capital inflows. It is also shown that these findings are sensitive to alternative assumptions for the portfolio objectives of SWFs. Finally, the paper discusses whether a change in net capital flows triggered by SWFs could have an impact on stock prices and bond yields. Based on an event study approach, no evidence can be found for a stock price impact of non-commercially motivated stock sales by Norway's Government Pension Fund. JEL Classification: F30, F40, G15.

32 Austin Bantam
Has anybody built any hotrods using 32 Austin Bantam body and what kind of interior was used and if anyone knows of any websites about the building of these hotrods most that I have seen have used a t-bucket frame this is what I plan on using. any input appreciated. Most of the people i have talked to have bought from MAS
I haven't built the Bantam roadster body (mine was a coupe) but from the ones i've seen ,be prepared for a lot of f-glass work and you will have to wood the body. Their bodys are chopper gun layups and are more for drag or race car bodies than street, but with a lot of sweat you can build an unusual car.
I used a 2"+3" 1/8" wall steel tube and roughly copied a "T bucket" type frame, the chassis parts came from MAS, they are very reasonable on prices. I used a corvair steering box (reversed) because the car is light. Also used 54 chevy spindles (because I had them) and an eight inch Ford Mustang rear.
With a 327 chevy in it the car was a terror, it only weighed about 1600 lbs. The only problem was I grew out of the car (literally) and even when I had my school boy figure you could barely squeeze two people in it. A "T roadster" is a Cadillac compared to a Bantam.
32 Austin Bantam
I Am Building A Bantam Right Now And Yes The Interior Is Small I Am 6'1" And 265 Lbs I Hope I Can Fit To Drive It Trying To Use A Circle Track Power Glide And 283 Sbc My Frame Is 2.0 Round Tubing Dont Know Who Built It But I Will Post Pics As Soon As I Can
32 bantam
Glad to see someone is still interested in this car style. I built one back in the day ( in the early 80's) The frame was steel tube rectangular, also would have accomidated a t bucket. The body was from anderson fiberglass and it was powered by a Blown 350 chevy (4:71)with a turbo 400 trans and a shortened 9" ford rear with 4:56 gears with custom build Strange axles. I had custom made Zoomie style headers made for it and a Brass rad. The froint axle was 6" drop with Hallcraft spoke wheels on the front and 15" x12 Tru Spokes on the back. Most of the interior work had to be hand crafted. I strenghtend the body by cutting 1x2 and using a calderia fiberglass to install them. Finding a good upholestry shop is a plus they can talk you through the necessory items that need to be installed...I made a bench seat with a removable seat lid so I could have some storage area. MOst of all it is all hand build and trial and error...Good luck if you have a question write back.
Just got mine
Today I picked up a 1932 Austin Bantam that was started in 1988 but never made much head way. Came with a chevy small block and a power glide. So far the engine came from a 60's vet so its a 327/350 hp. Lots of rework to be done. I will post pics as I move along.
There is one in El Centro I saw just last month, looked to be all original. It's in the back lot of a bodyshop, I could figure out an address if anyone is real interested, google could get me in the right neighborhood.
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
Mine is fiberglass but came with a real 1932 Bantam title from New York so I will have to see about getting it put in my name at some point.
i wish i could find a glass roadester glass body like this to build.
Ok you asked so check this out. This is a great little body to start with.http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/1453268039.html and at just $400.00 its a steal.
32 austin bantam
need to know contact and location thanks
Columbus ohio craigslist for more info is all I can tell you. If not you could get one from Anderson Industries Fiberglass. Good luck to you.
thanks a lot

A Closer Look: Duncan Scarf
The recent refurbishment of the Tapestry Room sparked closer study of many textiles there, including one that's easily overlooked: a small scarf made in the early 20th century by Raymond Duncan, brother of legendary dancer Isadora Duncan. This delicate silk scarf features a golden center surrounded by repeating landscape scenes and two smaller bands of guilloche patterning; it was given to Isabella Gardner by the Boston artist Louis Kronberg in 1921.
Initial investigations revealed that, although its location remained unchanged, the scarf's display and relationship to adjacent objects had changed. Archival photographs from the 1920s show the original scarf hanging loosely from an easel beneath a Russian Icon depicting the Ascension of Christ flanked by two silver bénitiers (holy water containers). During the 1930s, the scarf was framed under glass and recessed into a void in the easel. This treatment had its benefits and consequences. Although protected from environmental pollutants and exposure, the framing caused extensive damage to the scarf and changed the scarf's importance in the overall installation.
After the scarf was unframed it became clear that it could no longer be safely displayed. Although the frame itself functioned effectively, the adhesive used to attach the scarf to an internal mount had failed, causing numerous tears that could not be repaired. The original scarf was stabilized and retired to storage (where it is available to scholars for study), and Museum staff considered options for creating a replacement. The Peter Fasano Workshop in Great Barrington, Mass., was chosen for this important work because Fasano's process closely matches the block-printed, hand-painted techniques used to make the original. The Museum's curatorial and textile conservation staff worked closely with the workshop in all aspects of the reproduction scarf, from color choices to overall aesthetics.
With the reproduction textile now in place and displayed as Isabella Gardner originally intended, the installation is even more intriguing. Why pair a Russian icon with a contemporary scarf?
Both objects were given to Gardner by friends in the early 1920s. The scarf was a gift from Louis Kronberg (1872-1965), whose painting of a gypsy woman (La Gitana) was purchased by Gardner and hangs nearby in the Tapestry Room. Kronberg acquired the scarf from Raymond Duncan, who, inspired by his love of ancient Greek culture, had created a multidisciplinary arts center in a Parisian townhouse. Thomas Whittemore (1871-1950), a prominent scholar of Byzantine art who would go on to rediscover the mosaics at Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, gave her the Russian icon in 1922 (the same year that he also gave Gardner the Matisse painting of The Terrace, Saint-Tropez, on display in the Yellow Room).
In addition, these two works of art share a similar aesthetic: the simplified forms and flattened space typical of both the Byzantine and early 20th-century art. Throughout the Museum, Gardner created juxtapositions that encourage comparisons of style and content; in this pairing she may be challenging us to see similarities in art of dramatically different time periods. At the same time, the installation itself underscores the different contexts that produced the two works, including the bénitiers as reminders of the icon's religious function, and displaying the scarf tacked to the edge of the easel in a more casual, contemporary way.
This installation is a reminder of how Isabella Gardner's friendships with scholars and artists influenced the creation of her museum, and how the work of a contemporary artist like Peter Fasano is helping maintain Gardner's vision for years to come.

Steelers' Cotchery catching on as 'Old Reliable'
PITTSBURGH — Jerricho Cotchery grew up the second youngest of 13 children. It was easy to get lost in the shuffle.
Do the wrong thing, like be late for dinner, and you end up going hungry.
Fighting to be heard in a family that big can be tough, so Cotchery went the other way. He was quiet and reserved. Disciplined too. If dinner was at 6, better be at the table a couple minutes early, just in case.
It's an ethos Cotchery has carried over to life in the NFL. Never the fastest, the tallest or the more creative player, Cotchery instead has carved out a suddenly thriving 10-year career by doing all the big things right and the little ones too.
"He's the same guy every day," Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "There's very little variance from Jerricho. He's not an up-and-down, yo-yo guy at all."
At a time in his career when most players at his position are struggling to hang on, the 31-year-old Cotchery is in the midst of a rebirth.
The 10-year veteran already has a career-high 10 touchdown receptions this season, including five in Pittsburgh's past three games. It's heady territory for a player who began training camp hoping simply to hold off rookie Markus Wheaton for the third spot on the depth chart.
Now Cotchery is a vital part of an offense that is showing signs of getting it together. The Steelers (4-6) erupted for 37 points in a season-saving win against Detroit last Sunday, the final touchdown coming on a beautiful 20-yard lob from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a wide-open Cotchery at the goal line.
It was a play Roethlisberger said he "dusted off" when Cotchery came to the huddle and told his quarterback there was a chance to catch the Lions off guard.
"When he comes and tells you that something is there or something is open, you believe him, because he's not just coming to tell you those things because he wants the ball," Roethlisberger said. "He is a pro's pro, and he works hard at what he does. You reward him."
Asking for the ball has never been Cotchery's way. He arrived in Pittsburgh three years ago after spending seven seasons as the metronome in the unique chaos that is the New York Jets. He averaged 67 receptions from 2006-2010 on Jets teams that fluctuated from poor to overachieving.
He came to the Steelers looking to win a Super Bowl. It hasn't exactly worked out that way. Pittsburgh is just 24-18 since Cotchery came on and needs to get hot over the final six weeks to avoid missing the playoffs for the second straight season.
That lack of success, however, has only crystallized Cotchery's importance. As one of the few players on the team to endure losing football — including a 4-12 season with New York in 2007 in which he was one of the few bright spots — Cotchery has proven to be a wise counselor to a group of young if still maturing receivers.
Brown, whose 77 receptions lead the NFL, called Cotchery "someone you can really learn from" thanks to his combination of work ethic and football IQ.
It's an intelligence that is frequently on display in the red zone, where Cotchery consistently finds open space while opponents focus on his higher-profile teammates such as Brown and tight end Heath Miller.
Though Cotchery allows there are a lot of one-on-one opportunities because of the way teams defend Brown and Miller, that's only half of it. His ability to dissect coverages and find the weakness is something that can't be taught in the film room. It's something that comes with experience.
"I call him 'Old Reliable,'" Steelers safety Ryan Clark said. "Sometimes they have Ferraris out there. Sometimes they have some Bentleys. Jerricho is a conversion van. He's always going to be there. He's going to tote the family well. He's going to keep everybody safe. That's what Jerricho is."

Hey there! I'm originally from North Jersey (Bergan County) but most recently moved from Raleigh, North Carolina. I love traveling, especially to warm climates (which explains why I moved to Florida). I love sushi, concerts (especially anything late 90's) and classic scary movies!

Yesterday some of my buds came over for one of our usual group fuck evenings. One of them brought along an acquaintance from out of town. White guy, late 30s I guess, pretty average looking. Until he got naked that is, and revealed a really nice large uncut dick – still soft.
My buds just chuckled as we all sat with drinks and started chatting. This is how our get togethers usually go: we start sitting around naked, catching up on news, playing with our dicks, and each other's, just getting ourselves hard and leaking, for later.
I had the new guy next to me (in hindsight, I know that was planned) and so reached for his cock and started rubbing my thumb over his piss slit as I asked what he is into. turns out he's a total top, which is fine, and that he never fucked a black guy before and wanted to – which was even better.
Meantime, his dick was getting bigger and harder. Yeah, you guessed it. The fucker has a real 12 inch cock. I measured it myself so I am sure. I like to thing I'm hung big, but I know there are bigger guys than me; I just never met one before. Hot damn, I knew I had to have that huge white dick up my ass! And my buds knew I'd want it. Hell, did I!
By now, one of my friends was licking my nuts; I told him to shove some fingers up my hole. I was stroking Donkey Dick and told him, "Stud, you're gonna get some black ass tonight, and I'm getting that massive foot long cock!"
And get it I did, while my buds sat, watched, and beat off. He power fucked me good, and it was absolutely mind blowing. I've had bigger things inside me (like my 14″ dildo), but a real cock is always better, especially if white, uncut and so fucking enormous!
He came fast, I guess he was hot from the anticipation and the foreplay. I told him not to pull out, to just leave his cock deep inside me, and then go again. That made him chuckle, but he did. He rode me again, starting slow, with long, amazingly deep strokes, pushing his hot load of cum deeper into me.
I looked at my buds: they were still watching, but by now, they were getting it on as well: one of them was taking dick both ends.
Donkey Dick fucked me a good 20mins this time, before breeding my ass again. Then he went to relax while I joined the others for some fucking of my own. But he got me again later, while I was plowing one of the guys, and blasted a third load into me.
I have to say, that was one of the most amazing fucks of my life. I finally got to see a real 12 inch cock, and get fucked and bred by it. I told him to be sure to drop by if he ever returns this way again! ;-)

NSA: China is Destroying U.S. Economy Via Security Hacks
Jason Mick
March 28, 2012 7:06 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: ScreenRant)
NSA director fingers China in recent RSA intrusion and subsequent data thefts, U.S. oblivious its at war
Well, no more hemming and hawing about, it's official -- the Chinese hacked EMC Corp. (
subsidiary RSA
stole the secrets of its proprietary security algorithm
according to the chief of the
U.S. National Security Agency
I. A Grave Threat
U.S. Cyber Command
leader and NSA director
Gen. Keith Alexander
made the information public on Tuesday in a briefing to the
Senate Armed Services Committee
, in which he testified, "I can't go into the specifics here, but we do see [thefts] from defense industrial base companies. There are some very public [attacks], though. The most recent one was the RSA exploits."
China successfully used the information to hack into Lockheed Martin Corp. (
), a top U.S. defense contractor. It is thought that China's
remarkable progress
stealth fighter technology
has been fueled by
U.S. Department of Defense
Indeed a
massive amount of intellectual property
is being stolen from both the public and private sector by Chinese hackers, according to Gen. Alexander. The U.S. has
done precious little
to protect its own economic prosperity, as it has been overwhelmed by the Chinese thieves. One official in past commentary graphically described a cyberwarfare compaign of an unnamed nation state (suspected to be China) as "raping" the world.
Whether the Chinese government is perpetrating these attacks first hand, sponsoring third parties to conduct them, or merely condoning corporate interests to conduct them is almost as hazy as the sketchy financial ties the Chinese government holds to many of its private sector business (to be fair such allegations have increasingly been raised about the U.S. gov't).
But at the end of the day, the result is the same -- the destruction of the U.S. economy at the hands of the Chinese attackers.
Spearphishing and an unreleased Flash exploit allowed China to hack the RSA standard and steal secrets from U.S. DOD contractors, according to NSA testimony.
[Image Source: RSA Security]
U.S. companies who speak out against the attacks are
threatened by the Chinese
. The Chinese government is more than willing to ban U.S. firms that rock the boat, locking them out of the lucrative emerging market of almost 1 billion internet-active device users.
Complains Gen. Alexander, "We need to make it more difficult for the Chinese to do what they're doing. Intellectual property isn't well protected, and we can do a better job at protecting it."
The security official shared interesting details of the attack. He says the RSA hack used a zero-day (unreleased) exploit of Adobe System Inc.'s (
) Flash player (somewhere the
spirit of Steve Jobs is smirking
) and used "spearphishing" (targeted phishing) to get an RSA employee to click on the offending executable, resulting on backdoors being installed on the company's servers. Ironically, the Subcommittee hearings were livecast using Flash.
II. Are the NSA's Cyber Command Efforts Really Helping?
Sen. Carl Levin
(D-Mich.) criticized Gen. Alexander's commentary as just lip service. He pointed out that a
DOD pilot program
to share malware signatures with defense contractors did not contribute significantly to new awareness, according to a
Carnegie Mellon University
Gen. Alexander responded, "Industry has a bunch of signatures, government has those too. All of us need to work together to provide the best set of signatures."
He then countered that private sector communications efforts have been hindered by red tape. He compares the situation to a bank robbery in which no one can tell the police. He points to one incident in which the NSA detected 3 GB of data being stolen, stating, "I think that industry should have the ability to see these attacks and share them with us in real time. It's like neighborhood watch. Somebody is breaking into a bank, and somebody needs to be in touch with the police to stop it."

On the upside Gen. Alexander says DOD efforts to establish a Cyber Command outpost at every major geographical and functional Combatant Command branch are coming along nicely. He points to a major recent combat exercise at Nellis Air Force base as a sign of that progress.
Tensions between the U.S. and China are running high after the U.S. filed a

complaint against China
cutting off its supply of rare earth metals
. China argued
the complaint was unfair
and that it's all about playing by the rules.

Asthma Columbus Ohio
Diagnosing asthma at an early stage in Columbus, Ohio is important for effective treatment. This is a chronic disease that afflicts over six million children and 15 million adults. It is an inflammatory lung disease that can cause episodes of coughing, wheezing, and general breathing difficulty. These episodes can easily be triggered by a multitude of factors, including cold air, exercise, allergens, infection. It is a serious disease that needs to be diagnosed and treated as quickly, and as thoroughly as possible.
These episodes of coughing and general difficulty in breathing is caused by air passages swelling up and creating a thick mucous. At the same time, Bronchospasm, which is a tightening of the muscles around the airway, can cause the air passage to tighten even further. This causes a very minor amount of air that can pass in and out of your lungs, causing the oxygen cycle in your bloodstream to stall.
The general symptoms for asthma differ from person to person, but there are things to look out for in order to avoid or prepare for a sudden attack. Basic symptoms tend to include coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and an increased breathing rate. The less obvious signs tend to be the more dangerous, if you happen to feel tired or less energetic during a strenuous activity like exercise. At this point, it is possible that your body is being affected by the smaller amounts of air that you've been able to get into your system. Should most or all of these symptoms be present at the same time, or if the coughing or wheezing are so severe that the person can't seem to function very well, immediate attention from a medical professional should be considered.
Be sure to remember the more severe symptoms, as they may also require immediate attention. Symptoms such as having difficulty in speaking full sentences, hard and fast breathing, or nasal flaring. Should you or a friend appear to be pulling chest and neck muscles in order to breath, or their lips or fingernails are beginning to turn gray or blue, consider these to be the sign of a life-threatening emergency.
It is important to schedule regular check-ups with your doctor in order to stay aware and in control of your condition, even if you haven't shown any symptoms for an extended period of time. It is also extremely important to consistently take any prescribed medications. In this, two options are available: long-term medication and quick-relief medication. Essentially, the long-term prescriptions are meant to help maintain control over asthma attacks by lessening the chronic inflammation. Short-term medications are meant for quick-relief, in order to help relax the airway muscles as soon as, or just before, an asthma attack.
With regard to children, it is important that they understand and follow a written action plan that you and your doctor have created. This is meant to be an easy to follow instruction page that explains what medication to take, and what to do if the symptoms worsen. This will also let you and your child know when it is time to contact your child's doctor, or to go to the emergency room.
When a child that is 6 years or older suffers moderate or severe symptoms of asthma, and has a history of severe episodes, perceived airflow obstruction or worsening symptoms, please consider the use of a peak flow monitoring device. The importance of this easy-to-use device can't be overstated as it can easily measure the passage of air, and can help prevent or proactively react to an oncoming severe attack. This can also be used for adults who are suffering this affliction.
If you or your child are suffering from the debilitating effects of asthma in Ohio, don't wait to schedule an appointment with an allergist at Premier Allergy. We can help find the specific causes of your ailments, including what might trigger an attack. The more you know about your affliction, the more you can do to avoid severe episodes.

The influence of individuals' beliefs about learning and nature of knowledge on educating a competent workforce
Pillay, Hitendra K., Brownlee, Joanne M., & McCrindle, Andrea R. (1998) The influence of individuals' beliefs about learning and nature of knowledge on educating a competent workforce. Journal of Education and Work, 11(3), pp. 239-254.
In light of recent initiatives in re-engineering training and workplace education and the multitude of programmes that have since evolved, there is still a lack of evidence that the new initiatives developed by the Australian government facilitate better learning outcomes. The current focus may increase participation of workers in training programmes but there is still a need to consider the micro processes in learning and instruction that influence the quality of learning outcomes. Two such micro processes are investigated in the study reported in this article. Firstly, the relationship between trainees' beliefs about knowledge and learning and learning outcomes is investigated and secondly, beliefs and learning outcomes of trainees who gained entry into the programmes via work experience and those who enrolled directly from secondary schools are compared. Twenty-three male students enrolled in an electronics subject at a tertiary institution were interviewed regarding their beliefs about learning and later tested on a problem task. The trainees indicated unsophisticated conceptions of learning which were also reflected in their poor learning outcomes as measured by knowledge representations. The comparisons of work experience and non-work experience trainees indicated no difference in their beliefs about learning and the learning outcomes. The results, on the whole, demonstrated a limited knowledge base by all trainees when compared to the knowledge necessary to solve the problem task as determined from experts' knowledge representation. The findings indicate that the current initiatives may not be producing a competent workforce. Though the sample involved in the study is small, the results suggest that a closer look at the training reform process is warranted, especially at the learning and instruction phase.

dogs gums black around teeth

Best Answer
Many dogs (including myself) have black pigmented gums. Not sure if this is what your question is about, but given the lack of detail regarding your question, it's the best I can do.
answered on Jan 13th.
Other Answers
Dog´s gums have black parts because of a pigment called melanin. This melanin in humans can be found in birth marks, moles and freckles. If you are concerned of your dog´s oral health be sure to brush his teeth regularly if he is eating kibble or canned food. If your dog is on a raw diet, the bones will help cleaning the tartar from the teeth. Dogs are prone to suffer gingivitis, specially smaller breeds and this looks like red swollen gums rather that just a bit darker than the rest as you mention. The smell is foul, the gums bleed a bit and the teeth can be somewhat mobile. I would not be concerned about the darker areas of the gum, this are normal features.

úWhat is a memory? Is it actually located in a piece of the brain at a specific spot? Are memories permanent? How does the brain manage to store a lifetime of memories in an organ the size of a melon? Is forgetting actually losing the memory or just access to it? The definitive explanation for the memory is still elusive. Nevertheless, neuroscientists have discovered numerous mechanisms that occur in the brain that, taken together, define a workable hypothesis about memory formation, storage and recall. ú(p 78)
Writing Assignment Example:

Boris Johnson's mentoring chief has been given no say over how to spend the Mayor's £700,000 budget, it emerged today.
Ray Lewis, who rejoined the City Hall team after quitting in disgrace over claims of financial irregularities, said he had been given "no influence or control" over the money. It raises questions over Mr Lewis's role and whether it was worth the Mayor bringing him back onto the payroll.
The mentoring programme has struggled to date, recruiting only 279 mentors despite an initial pledge to sign up 1,000 by last March. Mr Johnson has admitted that the pace of recruitment was "disappointing" and the original scheme was being phased out.
Mr Lewis was appointed to a £20,000-a-year job last month to advise the Mayor's scheme, which would be allocating more than £700,000 to projects. But he said: "I knew before I got here that they'd already selected the projects so I've had no influence or control over who got the money."
Mr Johnson has instructed an organisation called Rocket Science to administer grants of between £75,000 and £200,000 to help provide mentors for 650 boys. The projects will be in Brent, Croydon, Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth, Southwark, and Waltham Forest.
Lib-Dem Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon said: "It's unclear what Ray's role is and what he's being paid for, particularly if he's having little impact on the spending of the Mayor's mentoring fund."
Mr Lewis, who will work at City Hall one day a week, was an unpaid adviser to the mentoring project for two years. He admitted: "I was unable to get my hands onto things as much as I would have liked to. The rules of my contract meant I had to keep a healthy distance." But he insisted he was confident he could now help the Mayor reach his target of 1,000 mentors.
A spokesman for the Mayor said: "Prior to his formal appointment, Ray Lewis was a volunteer ambassador and was therefore not responsible for allocating public funding. Now as the Mayor's Senior Mentoring Adviser he has greater strategic direction and is determined to drive forward the expansion of the mentoring programme and help as many young boys as possible."

The contraceptive implant is a very effective, convenient and safe form of contraception. A small operation under local anaesthetic is needed to insert the implant under the skin. Each implant lasts three years.
What is the contraceptive implant?
A contraceptive implant is a device that is put under the skin in order to offer you an even dose of contraception without you having to take a daily pill. It contains a progestogen hormone. Nexplanon® is the only contraceptive implant that you can be prescribed in the UK at present. However, there are other devices available elsewhere in the world. Nexplanon® is a small tube 40 mm long and 2 mm wide (about the size of a hair grip).
How does the contraceptive implant work?
The progestogen hormone in the implant is called etonogestrel. It is released into the bloodstream at a slow, steady rate. The progestogen works mainly by stopping the release of the egg from the ovary (ovulation). It also thickens the mucus which forms a mucous plug in the neck of the womb (cervix). This stops sperm getting through to the womb (uterus) to fertilise an egg. It also makes the lining of the womb thinner. This means that if an egg were to fertilise, it would not be likely to be able to attach to the womb.
How effective is the contraceptive implant?
Around 1 in 3,000 sexually active women using the implant will become pregnant each year. When no contraception is used, more than 2,400 in 3,000 sexually active women become pregnant within one year. This 'failure rate' is similar to but even lower than that of the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD), the intrauterine system (IUS) and sterilisation, which also have very low failure rates. In fact in most studies of the implant no women became pregnant at all.
What are the advantages of using a contraceptive implant?
- You do not have to remember to take a pill every day.
- You only have to think about contraception every three years.
- It does not interfere with having sex (intercourse).
- It can be used when breast-feeding.
- Period pain is usually reduced and periods are usually lighter.
- It can usually be used by women who cannot take pills that contain oestrogen.
- It may help to protect against pelvic infection, as it makes the mucous plug in the neck of the womb (cervix) thicken. This may help to prevent bacteria from travelling into the uterus.
What are the disadvantages of using a contraceptive implant?
- Insertion and removal with local anaesthetic are required.
- The release of progestogen will usually cause changes to the pattern of periods.
- During the first year, irregular bleeding is common. Periods usually settle back into a regular pattern after the first year, but may remain irregular.
- In some women periods can be heavier and/or more frequent, particularly in the first year following insertion.
- In some women periods become infrequent and light, or even stop all together. One in five women with the implant have no bleeding.
- If you do develop irregular bleeding or bleeding after having sex (intercourse) after having the implant inserted then you should inform your doctor. Irregular bleeding can occasionally be due to another reason - for example, an infection, which may need to be treated.
Who cannot have a contraceptive implant?
Your doctor or family planning nurse will discuss any current and past diseases. Some diseases may mean you cannot use progestogen-based contraceptives such as Nexplanon®, but this is uncommon.
Are there any side-effects with the contraceptive implant?
- If side-effects do occur they tend to develop in the first few months only. They often go after 3-6 months if the implant remains in.
- As with all hormonal contraceptives, some women report side-effects such as breast discomfort, fluid retention and increase in acne. However, some women actually find an improvement in their acne.
- As with all small cuts to the skin, there is a slight risk of a wound infection.
- The possible effects on periods are mentioned above.
- There is no evidence that women with an implant gain weight.
- The implant is not associated with an altered sex drive or mood changes.
- The implant does not cause any thinning of your bones.
How is the contraceptive implant put under the skin?
- It is put in the inner side of the upper arm.
- It is usually first inserted within five days of a period starting, to ensure that you are not pregnant. It is effective immediately. If it is inserted later, you should be reasonably sure you are not pregnant and use extra, non-hormonal contraception eg condoms, or abstain from sex for seven days.
- An injection of local anaesthetic is used to numb the skin. A special needle is used to place the implant under the skin. The wound is dressed and will soon heal just like any other small cut.
- The area around the implant may be bruised and sore for a few days, but this soon goes.
Do I need to be seen again after the contraceptive implant is inserted?
You do not need to be routinely seen by your doctor or nurse after having your implant inserted. However, you can return at any time to discuss any problems. You should see your doctor or nurse if any of the following occur:
- You cannot feel your implant.
- Your implant appears to have changed shape.
- You notice any change in your skin or have any pain in the area around the implant.
- You become pregnant.
- You develop irregular bleeding or bleeding after intercourse.
When is the contraceptive implant taken out?
A replacement is needed every three years if you wish to continue with this form of contraception. It requires a small operation under local anaesthetic to remove the old device and put in a new one.
The implant can be taken out at any time if you request removal. It loses its effect immediately after being removed. So, if you do not want to become pregnant, you must use another form of contraception immediately afterwards.
There is no delay in your fertility returning after the implant is removed.
Do other medicines interfere with the contraceptive implant?
Some prescribed medicines may interfere with the progestogen (mainly some used for epilepsy and tuberculosis). Tell the doctor or pharmacist that you have a progestogen implant if you are prescribed another medicine. It is unlikely that a medicine bought without the need for a prescription will interfere with the effectiveness of Nexplanon®. If in doubt, ask the pharmacist.
St John's wort
The herbal remedy St John's wort is available without prescriptions from pharmacies and health food stores. It is commonly used for headaches, anxiety, low mood and pre-menstrual syndrome. Unfortunately taking St John's wort decreases the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, including nexplanon. It does so by increasing the breakdown of the contraceptives hormones by your body. This could result in an unplanned pregnancy, so women using hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy should not take St John's wort.
You should always tell your doctor if you are taking over the counter medications or health food preparations before being prescribed anything, as interactions between these compounds and prescribed medication are not uncommon.
