The NFL says it will look into whether questions asked of Colorado tight end Nick Kasa at the combine violated any laws or league policies banning employers from inquiring about a possible employee's sexual orientation.
Kasa told ESPN Radio in Denver that during interviews with team officials at the combine in Indianapolis: "[Teams] ask you, like, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' 'Are you married?' 'Do you like girls?' "
He did not identify who asked him such questions.
The NFL says it will look into Kasa's comments and that "any team or employee that inquires about impermissible subjects or makes an employment decision based on such factors is subject to league discipline."
DeMaurice Smith, the head of the NFL players association, said in a statement: "I know that the NFL agrees that these types of questions violate the law, our CBA and player rights. I hope that they will seek out information as to what teams have engaged in this type of discrimination and we should then discuss appropriate discipline."
Around the league
Bears • A prosecutor said he will not pursue marijuana possession charges against offensive lineman J'Marcus Webb, who was charged after a traffic stop in southern Illinois over the weekend. Pulaski County State's Attorney Grayson Gile told the (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan the case lends itself to a "fair and equitable" resolution.
Giants • New York agreed to a five-year deal with left tackle Will Beatty, who could have become a free agent. The deal gives the Giants some continuity on the offensive line. Beatty is entering his fifth season with the Giants.
Bills • Defensive end Chris Kelsay decided to retire after 10 seasons with the team. Kelsay began considering retirement after tearing a ligament in his neck during practice. He missed seven of Buffalo's final eight games.

When searching, you may find numerous versions of Beef Stroganoff. There are perhaps as many versions of this dish as there are varieties of wine! Some recipes call for white wine and other versions use red wine. We like our meals to be more earthy rather than light and fruity, so we were perfectly happy using our normal recipe for Beef Stroganoff. It only takes about 30-40 minutes from start to finish, so it's super impressive when you're in a rush!
- 1 pound of beef, sliced very thin or cut into small cubes (I recommend strips) Use a high quality beef or your meat could be "tough"
- 4 Tbsp of butter
- 2 Tbsp of all purpose flour
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into strips
- 1 medium white onion, sliced into strips
- 8-12 oz of crimini mushrooms quartered (unless you have mushroom haters, go with the 12 oz)
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine (recommend using a Bordeaux, Merlot or an earthy Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 2/3 cup of sour cream
- 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Parsley (optional)
In a dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsp of the butter. Add the garlic and both onions, and saute for 10 minutes.
|Onions cooking and wine/mushrooms at the ready!
When the onions turn a light golden color, add the flour to the onions and mix until onions are coated. Immediately add the beef broth and wine and stir until all the lumps are gone.
|Delicious Cab entering the mixture--YUM!
Pour yourself a glass of wine to drink while you continue to cook. This is also where I'd recommend starting the water for the pasta. The rest of the cooking process is going to go very fast, and you'll want your pasta ready when you're done with the stroganoff.
Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat for about 4 minutes. The mixture will become thick. Remove the dutch oven from heat, and empy the onion and sauce mixture into a large bowl and set aside. Wash out the dutch oven so that you can use it for the rest of the cooking process.
Season the beef strips with the paprika, salt, and pepper. Melt the remaining butter in the dutch oven. When the butter is hot, add the quartered mushrooms and cook on medium-high heat until the mushrooms just start to brown up. (about 3-4 minutes) Add the seasoned beef strips and cook until most of the pink is out of the meat. (about 4 minutes) Add the onion/sauce mix back to the dutch oven. Mix in the sour cream and worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat. Serve over noodles or rice and garnish with parsley. (optional)

Dear Highway Traffic Safety Partners,
Massachusetts law enforcement and traffic safety advocates will gather on the front steps of the State House in Boston on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. for a press conference to announce the upcoming "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" impaired driving crackdown. The one-hour press event will include remarks from representatives from law enforcement, traffic safety and government officials.
We are looking for a diverse group of individuals to represent the 140 people, on average, lost to impaired driving each year in Massachusetts. Those who participate will be given a red t-shirt that reads "140 deaths too many."
After the press conference session, the "140 deaths too many" red t-shirt clad group will gather in the Boston Common for a group photo to be utilized in the billboard promotion of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign.
Please be advised that photo opportunities will be available following the press event for law enforcement officials in uniform and state officials. This will be a great opportunity to help further the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" message and include photos in your press releases to local newspapers and media outlets.
Please be a part of this moving and educational event that will help raise awareness of impaired driving and lives lost because of those who recklessly choose to drink and drive.
Please RSVP for this event by contacting Kari Johnston at the Rendon Group at (617)-912-3817 or firstname.lastname@example.com. If you wish to participate and help represent the "140 deaths too many" or wish to get your picture taken with state officials please specify this when you RSVP.

Director, Highway Safety Division

Currently, 31 countries belong to the Group of landlocked developing countries (LLDCs): 15 are located in Africa, 12 in Asia, 2 in Latin America and 2 in Central and Eastern Europe.
The lack of territorial access to the sea poses persistent challenges to growth and development of these countries and has been the main factor hindering their ability to better integrate in the global trading system. The transit of export and import goods through the territory of at least one neighboring State and the frequent change of mode of transport result in high transaction costs and reduced international competitiveness.
Responding to the specific problems of LLDCs requires a multidimensional approach to landlockedness as a development challenge. This notably implies the implementation of policies and measures aimed at economic restructuring and specialization in these countries that take into account their transport-related obstacles. The development of productive capacities is a key element of this process.
In this context, UNCTAD supports LLDCs to tackle persisting and emerging challenges by providing advisory services and organizing high-level expert group meetings, among others to address key challenges facing these countries.
Main outputs
On 4th June 2017, Equatorial Guinea graduated from Least Developed Country (LDC) status.
There are structural hurdles to unlocking growth in landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), a high-level meeting on investment in LLDCs heard on the final day of UNCTAD's World Investment Forum at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, on 16 October.

Marshall Tapped as GSA's Senior Policy Advisor
June 21, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. General Services Administrator Stephen A. Perry today announced his appointment of Susan G. Marshall as the agency's Senior Policy Advisor.
In that role, Ms. Marshall will primarily focus on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), performance measures, and will coordinate with Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. Marshall has previously worked for the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs and the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. She also has extensive private-sector experience with the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), Federal Sources Inc., and Aerospace Industries Association of America, Inc.
While a staff member for the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, Ms. Marshall most recently conducted oversight of the GSA on issues such as electronic government, privacy, federal surplus property disposal, telecommunications and procurement. Additionally, she developed legislative proposals such as the Government Information Security Act of 1999, the Presidential Transition Act of 2000, and the National Historical Publications and Records Act. Until 1998, she lobbied on issues relating to information technology such as tax issues, labor law and immigrations for ITAA where she was Vice President of the Information Services Division.
"It is an honor and a pleasure to be asked to serve the Administrator of GSA. I look forward to working with Administrator Perry and the GSA team to make the agency an even more effective and efficient service provider," Ms. Marshall said.
Ms. Marshall attended Pennsylvania State University and graduated in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. Prior to 1986, she attended University of Exeter in Exeter, England, concentrating on Political Studies. She currently resides in Alexandria, Va.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property agency responsible for providing office space, supplies and services for the federal government. GSA operates and manages 1,800 government-owned buildings and 6,500 leased buildings while playing a key role in procuring and managing the government's massive inventory of computer and telecommunications equipment and services.
Since its creation in 1949, the agency has evolved from a mandatory supplier of space and products for federal civilian agencies to a non-mandatory provider of competitively-priced, high-quality office space, commercial products and military and civilian workforce solutions.

An appeal to Jehovah's judgment; God's vindication
The key to Psalm 16 was in the words, "In thee do I put my trust"; to Psalm 17, "Hear the right." In Psalm 16 we have seen the blessed path and working of that spirit of confidence. It is, though the same spirit works in the remnant, essentially applicable to Christ Himself in Person. Psalm 17 doubtless applies to Him also, but not so entirely so. It is on somewhat lower ground, though one on which the Spirit of God speaks. We see distinctly that it contemplates others, though not without Christ, in verse 11. "They have now compassed us in our steps." Still, Christ is found here: without Him none really could say to purpose, Hear the right. It is an appeal to the judgment of Jehovah, God, coming forth to vindicate the righteousness of Him that cries to Him. The godly remnant will be, in the main, delivered from their deadly enemies. Jehovah will arise and disappoint them.
Still, some will fall, even of the wise (Dan. 11: 35) Christ Himself, the perfect One, though for more glorious reasons, still in sympathy with His people, did. Hence the righteousness goes higher up than the present deliverance by God's government of the godly remnant on earth, to a result true of Christ, and a comfort for the faith of all those who may fall under the oppression of the enemy. "I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake up after thy likeness." This is fully true of Christ, who is before His Father in righteousness, and is the very image of the invisible God He in whom He is displayed in glory. But He traces the path He trod as the righteous One on earth, in the midst of evil, and where He underwent the temptations of the enemy. First, there was perfect integrity of heart, and that in the most secret thoughts of it. There was purpose not to transgress. In obedience the words of God's lips guided Him; and thus the paths of the destroyer were never an instant entered on; the words of God's lips never lead there. This the Lord showed in His temptation in the wilderness. In the paths of Jehovah He looked to Him to hold up His goings. This is a part of righteousness in man dependence. He called on God, sure that He would hear Him. This is the confidence we have. Such was His path.
Perfectness of moral character giving nearness of confidence and sense of preciousness to Jehovah
He applies it then as the ground of looking for the intervention of God's power to protect Him as He does those that trust in Him from the wicked that oppressed Him. Prosperous and lifted up as they were, Jehovah was His refuge when He did not yet interfere. But He looked to His openly doing so. Remark that the perfectness of moral character gives nearness of confidence and sense of preciousness to Jehovah. Even in us God would have this. We are of more value than many sparrows the very hairs of our head counted. Here it is perfect, and He looks to be kept as the apple of the eye that which is most preciously guarded by him whose it is.
Prosperous oppressors; death and another world
After all, these prosperous oppressors were but the hand of Jehovah men of this world, who got all heart could desire from the outward providence of God. But what a lesson among Jews, whose legal portion was blessing in basket and store and children! (Compare the parables of Dives and Lazarus, and of the unjust steward). Here then the breach with this world, and a place in glory in the next, are fully contemplated. Jehovah's face in righteousness, and likeness to Him when thus woke up into another world, were well worth the portion of the men of this world. But here, mark, death and another world are contemplated, though deliverance is also (the remnant being more distinctly brought in). It is the same as we have seen in Matthew 5, where also both are contemplated. We have thus, in this first book, the Jews at the end of days, but in circumstances analogous to what Christ's life was, that is, moving as godly ones in the midst of the wicked people.Synopsis by John Darby

Australian Mayor Wants Ugly Women To Move To His Town
The mayor of Mount Isa, a mining town in Australia, is encouraging women with sub-par looks to move to the area, because he thinks they'll find happiness there. According to Reuters, the mayor was quoted in the Townsville Bulletin last week, saying of Mount Isa, "Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness." Supposedly, the town, famous for cowboys and mining, lead, silver, copper, and zinc, has a shortage of women, with just one for every five men there. The mayor seems to think that less pretty women would do well there with less competition, and men would be happy with them, because they don't have any other options. And, even if this is true, neither side (the Mount Isa men or the less-beautiful women there) wants to agree with him. Mount Isa's council members and chamber of commerce have been swamped with phone calls from men and women complaining about the mayor's comments, but he refuses to apologize. [Reuters]

Hi all,
I have a problem hope you guys can help out. I have just run a live Backtrack from a thumb drive. And the internet connection seems to be problematic. My router modem has DHCP enabled and all Windows machines can get their IP and connectivity okay from the router. The Backtrack is able to connect to the router, but able to obtain any IP addresses. So I had to set static IP, and the DNS servers. After setting these, I am able to do ping, telnet via port 80, host, and on. This shows there's nothing wrong with DNS servers and the connection to the router. Problem is, when Firefox is opened and a URL is typed, it shows like 'connected' to a web page, but nothing will ever load. Also, when doing Wget and apt-get update via Terminal, Wget shows request sent, and awaiting response forever. The update will just stuck at 'waiting for headers'.
A further test is conducted where I try to issue 'ping -s 32 www.google.com', works. However trying a larger number like 'ping -s 300 www.google.com' will get any response.
Can anyone enlighten me to what issue I could be facing and how do I get things up? Fyi, I'm connecting via wireless connection to the router modem.

Mark Schauer on Foreign Policy
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. IKE SKELTON (D, MO-4): Pakistan is important to the Middle East and our intentions there. Their cooperation, of course, is so very, very important. This legislation gives economic and democratic development assistance to that country.
Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): We can't allow al Qaeda or any other terrorist group that threatens our national security to operate with impunity in the tribal regions or any other part of Pakistan. Nor can we permit the Pakistani state and its nuclear arsenal to be taken over by the Taliban. To help prevent this nightmare scenario, we need to forge a true strategic partnership with Pakistan and its people, strengthen Pakistan's democrat government, and work to make Pakistan a source of stability in a volatile region.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN (R, FL-18): This bill focuses on past actions and failures attributed to the Pakistani Government, punishing the new leadership for the sins of its predecessors. While the authors of H.R. 1886 may have sought to empower our Pakistani partners to undertake the formidable task of fighting and winning against violent extremists, it does the opposite. We have gone down this road before. I recall during the Iraq debate, Members sought to prejudge the surge strategy before it could even be implemented. Let us hope that this will not be repeated with respect to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Dear Secretary Clinton:
We are writing to reaffirm our commitment to the unbreakable bond that exists between our country and the State of Israel and to express to you our deep concern over recent tension. In every important relationship, there will be occasional misunderstandings and conflicts.
Our valuable bilateral relationship with Israel needs and deserves constant reinforcement. As the Vice-President said during his recent visit to Israel: "Progress occurs in the Middle East when everyone knows there is simply no space between the U.S. and Israel when it comes to security, none. No space." Steadfast American backing has helped lead to Israeli peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. And American involvement continues to be critical to the effort to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
We recognize that, despite the extraordinary closeness between our country and Israel, there will be differences over issues both large and small. Our view is that such differences are best resolved quietly, in trust and confidence, as befits longstanding strategic allies. We hope and expect that, with mutual effort and good faith, the United States and Israel will move beyond this disruption quickly, to the lasting benefit of both nations.

Kellen Winslow is well aware of the concerns surrounding his health.
In fact, during a rare moment of candor Thursday, the newest member of the New England Patriots even admitted to playing through pain in his right knee. Winslow, however, did not miss a game the last three years, something he was quick to proudly point out.
''It's a question every year,'' he said. ''The thing I concentrate on is not missing games because then there's nothing to hold against me. If I was missing games every year or something like that, it would be true.''
After officially announcing the signing of the 29-year-old tight end Wednesday, the Patriots are counting on Winslow to stay healthy enough to fill the void left when tight end Aaron Hernandez suffered an ankle injury on New England's third offensive play of its 20-18 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
One of the Patriots' most dynamic offensive weapons, Hernandez is expected to be sidelined for at least a month.
''He's probably one of the most versatile tight ends in the game, if not the most,'' Winslow said. ''He goes all around the field, he can play any position. So, he's very versatile in what he does and he's smart. He's a very good player.
''It's going to take me a while to catch up to where he's at.''
The sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft, Winslow himself had trouble staying on the field with the Cleveland Browns, playing in just two games his rookie season due to a broken right fibula, and then missed the entire 2005 campaign after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a motorcycle accident.
Following a Pro Bowl season with the Browns in 2007, he flourished during three years in Tampa Bay, where he averaged nearly 73 catches, 792 yards and four touchdowns a season.
Winslow was traded to Seattle in May and was expected to play a pivotal role with Seahawks, but was abruptly released on Sept. 1.
''I think every day you have to prove yourself,'' he said. ''With what happened in Seattle, I can't say much about what happened. It is what it is and I have to move on.''
A few teams expressed interest in the 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end, including New England (1-1), which brought him in for a visit a couple of weeks ago.
''It was a good fit,'' Winslow said. ''I've never been in this type of situation, but a situation arose where Aaron got hurt and we're kind of similar. So, I thought I could come in here and help out.''

''It's how tight ends should be used,'' he said, ''and they do a good job.''
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady met Winslow for the first time Wednesday before the two took the practice field together. Winslow has been studying strategy ever since.
''I've been in the playbook just nonstop,'' he said. ''But he's Tom Brady. I've got a lot of work to catch up and get on the same page as these guys.
''What they're doing here, the volume of the playbook is a lot. It's going to take some time to get used to. But at the end of the day, football's football. It's just verbiage and getting used to the calls, getting used to Tom's cadence and just knowing not just what I have, but what everybody has, because people switch positions here.''
Coach Bill Belichick admittedly doesn't know much about Winslow. All he knows is that there's a spot open, and this veteran comes with a resume, if nothing else.
''I've never coached him before, don't have any background with him,'' Belichick said. ''But we feel like he might have a chance to help us, so that's why he's here.''
Winslow is relishing the opportunity, too.
''With coach, he's one of the best of all time. I'm not surprised by anything that's going on here,'' he said. ''They do things and they practice and obviously play the game like you're supposed to. Teams model themselves after the Patriots.
''I'm not shocked by anything. That's why they win Super Bowls around here.''
NOTES: The Patriots haven't lost consecutive games since Oct. 30-Nov. 6 of last season, when they fell to the Steelers (25-17) and Giants (24-20). ... Hernandez had six receptions for 57 yards at the time of his injury.

James and Karla Murray are professional photographers who began documenting the world of graffiti artists in the mid 1990s. They started first with New York City (and two books about the scene there), and eventually traveled south to Miami where their interest resulted in Miami Graffiti, a new book just out showcasing some of Miami's most vibrant work.
This is where I have to point out that graffiti has its critics and Sharpie wants to be sure you understand that we don't condone its use to deface or damage property or hurt or harm people. That's not the intention of most graffiti artists anyway. The artists featured in the book are clearly people driven by a passion to create. In fact, the majority of the works are located in places that are invisible to the public eye, painted inside abandoned factories and along trackside buildings. And the graffiti artists seem to like it that way.
Sharpie was part of the book's release party in Miami Beach, serving as the official marker of Graffiti Miami. Sharpie markers have been used for years by many graffiti artists to create the works they draw on paper and in their "blackbooks' (sketchbooks). Check out the action below: (For info on where to buy the book, contact Ali Gitlow at Prestel Publishing, firstname.lastname@example.com).

How much did Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell's wedding cost?
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell spent $142 on their wedding.
That's what the "Parenthood" actor told Jimmy Kimmel on Monday about his nuptials earlier this month at the courthouse in Beverly Hills.
Shepard joked that he was inspired to keep the budget low after attending Kimmel's own star-studded, expensive wedding over the summer.
"I made a mental note when I watched that," he told Kimmel. "I thought, 'I'm gonna go a different route.'"
[Listen to "Jimmy Kimmel Live The Morning After" on iHeartRadio]
Shepard proudly announced, "All in, with fuel to get there, $142 out the door."
He doesn't have a ring yet, though, although he's planning to get it at Costco.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Environmental groups are hailing President Barack Obama's warning about climate change but say they'll be watching his decision on the future of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Environmentalists say the pipeline would transport "dirty oil" from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, and produce heat-trapping gases that contribute to global warming.
Obama blocked the pipeline last year, citing uncertainty over the project's route through environmentally sensitive land in Nebraska.
But Republicans and many business groups say the project would help achieve energy independence for North America and create thousands of jobs.
Obama said in his inauguration speech Monday that failure to respond to climate change "would betray our children and future generations."
Andrew Hoffman, director of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, said Obama's focus on climate showed political backbone.

Edgar Degas
Dancer with a Bouquet
Edgar Degas
French, 1834-1917
Dancer with a Bouquet, ca. 1877-1880
Pastel and gouache over monotype on paper
40.3 x 50.5 cm (15 7/8 x 19 7/8 inches)
Gift of Mrs. Murray S. Danforth 42.213
In this investigation of light, form, and movement, footlights set aglow a young dancer with a bouquet at center stage. Behind her stand two groups of ballerinas, who are depicted with lengthy passages of bright orange, blue, and green pastel punctuated by the occasional dot of a bright flower. As a foil to these brilliant colors, Degas bathed the immediate foreground—-a balcony with spectator—-in shadowy brown and black gouache. The spectator's blue earring relates the foreground to the vibrantly hued passages of the stage. Degas began this composition with a monotype and then covered it with pastel. He affixed a strip of paper at the sheet's lower edge in order to add the figure and her dramatic fan, which leaves one to wonder if they were compositional afterthoughts.

Mallory from NC asks:
Okay, answer a question for me. Which is better for storing my important files and backing stuff up – flash drives, hard drives or optical media (CDs, DVDs, etc.)?
When it comes to storing data of importance, the question of "which media should I use" makes itself apparent in our minds almost immediately. After all, storing precious pictures or personal documents on a disk or drive only to have it fail a few years, months, sometimes just weeks, down the road is an experience we all would rather avoid; particularly when storing major life events, such as birthday videos or wedding photos. So, what media should you choose when planning to store your important data? To answer this question, first we need to look at some of the qualities and limitations which the most commonly available storage formats present.
Storage Format: Hard Disk Drives
Pros: Large storage capacity for the price / Typically good lifespan
Cons: Susceptible to malfunction due to mechanical failures and physical impact
If you own a computer, be it desktop or laptop, then you most likely have files stored on a hard drive of some type, probably housed within your computer. While may be the safest place to store your hard drive(s,) doing so will not guarantee a trouble free experience. Why? A hard drive is somewhat similar to an old vinyl record player: housed inside the hard drives' outer casing are discs which spin as a mechanical arm moves back and forth above the disc surface, reading and writing data to and from the platters beneath. While this method of data storage has worked for many, many years, there has always been one unavoidable fault which leads to inevitable failure of a hard drive: the aforementioned mechanical parts. As with any device which relies on constant and precise mechanical movement to run, hard drive parts eventually fail, usually taking your data to the grave with them. Due to the precision with which they operate, hard impacts may also cause a hard drive to read or write data in error, and possibly fail altogether as well. Despite these shortcomings, most hard drives have a life expectancy of at least 3-5 years, with many reportedly living a healthy life at 10+ years of age.
Storage Format: Optical Media (CD-R / DVD-R)
Pros: Inexpensive, portable
Cons: Inconsistent lifespan, temperamental storage requirements, data lost over time due to degradation
Optical media, such as burnable CD's and DVD's, are quite handy for short term storage of data. However, they remain a less than desirable choice for long term and mission critical data archival. The reason is simple: everyday optical media degrades quickly and easily. Although many manufacturers claim their optical media will last for 30 years or more under perfect conditions, their actual lifespan with normal use and storage is typically closer to a few years (at most) than a few decades. There are many different factors which conspire against the lifespan of CD-R's and DVD-R's; sub-par dyes (the reflective portion of a disc where data is written) which degrade much sooner than rated, exposure to heat, cold, or sunlight which also degrade said dyes, and weak or wrongly calibrated optical disc burners which fail to write data as intended. All of these factors make everyday optical media formats a less than favorable storage choice; ok for short term data storage, but definitely not the choice for long term backup of important information.
Pros: Durability, Versatility
Cons: Debatable life span, higher price per gigabyte
The last decade has given rise to the newest consumer storage devices in this comparison: solid state flash (aka thumb) drives. Unlike the aforementioned storage mediums, flash drives use no moving parts or temperate dyes to store data, relying instead on electrical pulses to write data to a static storage chip. This method of storage allows for much higher shock resistance and durability, as well as smaller form factors and increased portability, than what is traditionally offered in a hard drive or CD/DVD. The downside to this fantastic usability is a generally higher price per mega/gigabyte (i.e. for the price of a 32GB flash drive, you could purchase a larger portable hard drive with a terabyte (1000 gigabytes) of storage.) The life expectancy flash drives is also up for debate, as the solid state memory used to store your data does wear out the more times you write to it. Good quality flash drives from well known, trusted manufacturers are typically agreed to have a life span of a few years or more, making the flash drive a good choice for your everyday data storage needs.
By now you're probably thinking to yourself "should I use any of these formats to store my data?" The answer is yes: use all of them. If you want to sleep soundly at night without worrying about your irreplaceable pictures, videos, documents, etc., regularly backup your important data on at two sources; creating duplicates which will allow you to retrieve your important information should any one backup fail completely. Sweet dreams!
~ J. Conboy

Jimmy landed the most significant shots of the fight, no doubt about that. But as others have said, he didn't do enough to capitalise. I've watched it once (admittedly while very tired) and I gave the first two rounds to Ellis by the slimmest of margins, and the third to Jimmy. Could see the shout for a draw, or a Jimmy win too.
The crazy thing is, if BAMMA hadn't decided to do three-round title fights for some reason, Jimmy would in all likelihood be wearing that belt right now.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
War Ellis!!!
It's the same argument we've all seen hundreds of times.
Someone loses a close fight 30-27 and everyone duly goes crazy and screams robbery.
It's also however, countered perfectly by the same reasoning every time.
Some of the closest fights ever contested are scored 30-27. The black and white nature of the result doesn't tell the whole story of each of those rounds, which could have been lost on a hair each time.
I've got no problem with a 30-27 Ellis scorecard anymore than I'd have a problem with a 30-27 Wallhead scorecard. It was an extremely nip/tuck fight and I imagine a Fightmetric style numbers analysis would bear that out.
Also, for the record, if your "watching" of the fight to come up with your opinion coincides with doing ANYTHING else at all from answering the phone, to making a drink, to looking out the window for 10 seconds; your reasoning and verdict don't account for anything.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
That's ok as long as you don't make eye contact with anyone else in the room.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Why did the referee not stand them up after about 1 minute of Ellis doing nothing? He even admitted himself he was taking a rest, which to be fair you can't blame him, after getting walloped pretty hard a few times. I had a suspicion that the judges may have given Ellis Round 1.
I think it's quite sad that we're still at a stage where a guy can land a take down, do fuck all (by his own admission) and still win the round. It is what it is though..... I do think Wallhead won the fight.
I wonder if Paul Daley will want to fight for the BAMMA title or will being champ be too restrictive for him? It did say in the advert he's fighting exclusively for them.
I don't think Daley fights for it because BAMMA need Wallhead and if he can't fight for the title I don't think he'll want to fight. That being said he isn't fighting anywhere else and he gets paid a shit load by BAMMA.

Thank you Thank you Thank you
Retired 2k and out.
Ryan Scope vs Lewis Long would be a cracker.
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Get Curt Warburton out if his BAMMA contract. The last time he fought there, the place was insane. Him v buchinger would be awsome
Fuck yeah lets do this!!!
Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
Liam James vs Chris Fishgold would be a scrap and a half
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
James fishy is a good scrap but at 9-0 fishy needs someone like turner or a ranked European james vs narimini would be cool
Liam James vs Nad is a good fight, Nad is very under rated though. He will give most FEATHERWEIGHTS a tough fight.
True mate I think fishy v nad is a scrap aswel
Really looking forward to this. Think its going to be a nice meal for dinner followed by Cage warriors then a cheeky pint with my Mrs and friends. Im like so exited for this been on the forums a while and never been to a Cage warriors event. I dont care who fights who im leaving that for the pros to decide but would be great to see one or too lads from the area get on there. If I had 1 request it would be try get Scope on the card against somebody dangerous to give him the test and hopefully put his star a little higher. But all in all just thankful to have you in Newcastle the atmosphere will be a cracker. And I reckon the crowd will get behind all the fighters as its a very educated fan base up here.

15Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them. 3So he told them this parable: 4Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost. 7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

transcript:
The pistol shrimp is no bigger than your finger.
And it's a crack shot.
One of its two claws functions just like a handgun-and other shrimp are targets.
When prey is in range, the claw is cocked.
The claw snaps shut so fast, it fires a bubble bullet-up to 62 miles an hour.
The bubble bursts and stuns the prey.
It all happens in a fraction of a second...the fastest gun in the sea.

You can even move it and reuse it with no damage to your wall, something a traditional wallpaper mural can't do.
What Is A Fathead?
Fathead is Huge! REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals are life-size action images that you stick on any smooth surface. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls. Fathead wall decals are way better, bigger and tougher than a poster or sticker. Choose from hundreds of licensed sports and entertainment images.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big.

Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

San Bernardino is suing the state to prevent the Department of Finance from carrying through with a threat to withhold more than $15 million in taxes to make up for low- and moderate-income housing funds the city allegedly owes.
The lawsuit, filed with bankruptcy Judge Meredith Jury, seeks to prevent the taxes from being withheld by the Department of Finance or Larry Walker, who is San Bernardino County auditor-controller/treasurer-tax collector. The suit names Walker and state officials.
A March 4 letter from the Department of Finance said the money should be paid immediately, and that failure to pay or work out a payment plan within 30 days might lead to the withholding of sales tax, use tax and property tax to equal that amount.
The city counters that the $15 million sum "is almost exclusively intangible" and only $335,312 of it is cash and "vigorously disputes that it owes the sums demanded by the DOF."
But its lawsuit rests mostly on the fact that the city is in bankruptcy court. In most cases, debtors can't be sued while in bankruptcy court unless the bankruptcy judge approves.
And San Bernardino's general fund balance of negative $13,277,552 as of Feb. 26 leaves it unable to pay the amount, according to the lawsuit.
"If property tax and sales tax and use tax revenues are withheld by the defendants, the city will be irreparably harmed and forced to shut down operations possibly as early as mid May of 2013 but no later than June 1, 2013 because defendants will deprive the city of critical cash necessary to (a) meet its payroll and other obligations and (b) provide basic essential services for the health, safety and welfare of its residents," the lawsuit says.
More to come.

Obama appoints Samantha Power to replace Susan Rice as U.N. Ambassador
(Billy Hallowell) This morning it was announced that President Barack Obama will nominate foreign policy confidant Samantha Power to replace Susan Rice as the United States ambassador to the United Nations. But, who is she? If you've been a long-time Blaze reader, you are likely familiar with the controversial figure. If not — or if you'd simply like a refresher — allow us to provide an overview.
Power, a human rights expert and former White House adviser, left the White House earlier this year, though she was considered the president's likely pick to move to the U.N. As TheBlaze reported this morning, she has long been connected to Obama. And if you'll recall, she has had her fair share of controversy, specifically after she was forced to resign from the president's 2008 campaign following negative remarks she made about Hillary Clinton.
In an interview with The Scotsman during the heat of the 2008 presidential race, Power called Clinton a "monster."
"We f***** up in Ohio. In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win," she said of the Obama camp's efforts and of Clinton's political prowess. "She is a monster, too — that is off the record — she is stooping to anything."
Power's comments though didn't lead to completely severed ties to Obama, as she was soon back in the fold. So, too, was her husband — she is the wife of former regulatory czar Cass Sunstein. As early as 2011, TheBlaze covered expectations that Power could possible secure greater power, specifically if the president was elected to a second term. Her U.N. appointment appears to solidify these expectations.
In the past, Irish Central called her one of the main architects of the Obama administration's policies in Libya, noting her influence over the White House. And Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said in a 2011 New York Times profile that "She is clearly the foremost voice for human rights within the White House and she has Obama's ear."
Bloomberg has more about her Libya involvement as well:
She played a role, along with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice and other NSC advisers, in convincing Obama to push for a UN Security Council resolution to authorize a coalition military force to protect Libyan civilians. Other administration figures were concerned about the effectiveness of a no-fly zone and differences within NATO over what Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned would be a "big operation." [...]
Power, who sought the limelight as a writer and public intellectual, has learned to be a behind-the-scenes policymaker over the past two years, associates say.
Eventually, she repaired relations with Clinton. That said, she's still widely seen as a problem by conservatives who oppose her ideals. After all, it wasn't only her comments about the former Democratic presidential candidate that has caught the ire of critics; her foreign policy, too, is seen by some as problematic.

Ted Nugent apologizes for derogatory remarks about President Obama
Ted Nugent is offering a half-hearted apology for using the term "subhuman mongrel" to describe President Obama.
After members of the political right called on him to do so, the rocker and conservative activist said he wanted to apologize, though not necessarily to the President - "but on behalf of much better men than myself."
Instead of using what he described as "streetfighter terminology" in his verbal attack on the president in an interview last month, Nugent says he should have used more "understandable language such as "violator of his oath to the Constitution."
The 65-year-old rocker has been campaigning with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott who is seeking a gubernatorial nomination in his home state.
Texas Governor Rick Perry and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul are among the high profile GOP members who called Nugent's comments inappropriate.
Paul called on Nugent to apologize on Thursday night, saying his derogatory description of President Obama is "offensive and has no place in politics."

Almost three-quarters of smokers (74%) say they would try and quit the habit if cigarette prices increased by 50% according to new research released today.
The research, from the Cancer Council Victoria, also reveals 6 out of 10 regular smokers say they would smoke fewer cigarettes if tobacco prices were to go up by 50%.
Increasing price by 50% would see a typical packet of 30 cigarettes retail at around the $20 mark.
Fiona Sharkie from Quit Victoria said not only is an increase in cigarette prices the most important factor driving a drop in smoking rates across the whole population, it is also great for the average smoker's hip pocket.
"With tobacco claiming 15 000 Australians lives and costing the community $31.5 billion dollars every year it is critical that proven tobacco control strategies, such as price increases, are implemented as soon as possible."
"On top of quitting smoking being one of the best things you can do for your health, it is also a great way to save money in tough financial times. A pack a day smoker can save almost $5000 a year by quitting. That's more than two monthly mortgage repayments on the average Australian home loan."
Dr Lyn Roberts from the National Heart Foundation said the data provides invaluable information for the National Preventative Health Taskforce, which is currently considering strategies to address tobacco use in Australia.
"Research such as this provides critical insight into the best ways to reduce smoking."
"The public health gains from a drop in smoking in Australia are both huge and indisputable. However, unless there is ongoing exposure to mass-reach interventions, such as price increases, we will not see any population-level change."
Professor Ian Olver from Cancer Council Australia said by increasing the cost of cigarettes, the Australian Government would be adopting an effective measure to 'close the gap' in health inequalities.
"Research illustrates price increases not only reduce the number of people smoking but also the amount smoked by remaining smokers, with greater drops observed among those in economically disadvantaged groups."

Blues coach John Kirwan has made his second big call of the week, dumping All Blacks loose forward Steven Luatua to the bench for Friday's Super Rugby match against the NSW Waratahs.
Days after telling departing code hopper Benji Marshall his transition wasn't working and he faced being dropped to club rugby, Kirwan again showed his resolve to turn around the Blues' fortunes by relegating Luatua, an emerging star for the All Blacks last year.
He called up Peter Saili to start at No.8 and said the rugged Luatua needed to start working harder off the ball.
"At this level there's a five per cent difference. We need to keep working hard," Kirwan said.
"Steven just needs to keep working hard off the ball, get himself in good positions to make good ball carries and get himself into good positions to make good tackles."
Saili's selection also reflected a wish for a more physical approach against the big pack the Waratahs will bring to Friday's match.
Simon Hickey, named to captain the All Blacks under-20 team in June, returns at five-eighth after Chris Noakes was ruled out following a concussion in the Blues' 39-20 loss to the Hurricanes last week.
With Marshall negotiating a release to return to rugby league, Hickey's backup on the bench will be exciting Hawke's Bay playmaker Ihaia West, brought into the squad just 10 days ago after Baden Kerr was ruled out for the season.
Kirwan said West's situation wasn't ideal but he'd made good strides since joining the squad.
"We've spent the time with him talking about game plans. It won't be an easy situation for him, but we're spending as much time as we can with him to get him up to speed."
Kirwan described the match as a must-win for the Blues but said that their 16 competition points wasn't far off the conference-leading Chiefs on 25.
"It's going to be important that we get up and get our points," he said.
"We need to get out there and play for our fans and show them there we're on the right track, we're working hard, and put a win in the bank."
Blues: Charles Piutau, Frank Halai, Francis Saili, Ma'a Nonu, Lolagi Visinia, Simon Hickey, Bryn Hall, Peter Saili, Luke Braid, Jerome Kaino, Tom Donnelly, Patrick Tuipulotu, Charlie Faumuina, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: James Parsons, Sam Prattley, Angus Ta'avao, Hayden Triggs, Piri Weepu, Steven Luatua, Ihaia West, Pita Ahki.

WHY building a HIDS?
-well, if you have a persistent BT4 installation and using it for your daily (pentest) work, you should well-protect your laptop and especially you should know who is watching you ;-)
background: psad - Intrusion Detection with iptables, iptables Log Analysis, iptables Policy Analysis "psad is a collection of three lightweight system daemons (two main daemons and one helper daemon) that run on Linux machines and analyze iptables log messages to detect port scans and other suspicious traffic"
1. install fwsnort perl dependencies
Note: if this is your first time running MCPAN, you should propably updateCode:sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Template' sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::IPv4Addr'
CPAN bundle first! (sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install CPAN')
2. install fwsnort (release 1.1)
Note: If asked to download latest snort sigs, type yesCode:cd /tmp && wget http://cipherdyne.org/fwsnort/download/fwsnort-1.1.tar.bz2 tar xvf fwsnort-1.1.tar.bz2 && cd fwsnort-1.1 sudo perl install.pl
2.1 modify fwsnort.conf
and change line:Code:sudo sudo vi /etc/fwsnort/fwsnort.conf
unameCmd /bin/uname;
3. install psad
Note: apt will also install necessary dependenciesCode:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install psad
3.1 configure psad
Note: adjust this settings to your requirements:Code:sudo vi /etc/psad/psad.conf
HOME_NET NOT_USED; ### only one interface on my laptop!
ALERTING_METHODS noemail;
Don't touch the rest of default settings for your initial tests.
4. run bastille to create the necessary hardened environment (answers below
reflect NOT the most secured environment, but at least a good start!)
Note: answer carefully all questions to your needs, especially inCode:sudo bastille
the firewall section - this is needed because psad is based on iptables ;-)
You should have a proper firewall script anyway - highly recommended on
any auditors laptop !
Any changes can easiely adjusted through the bastille config file
5. restart syslogd, start iptables & psad
Note: It is also good, to update on a regular base the psad signaturesCode:sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart & sudo /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall && sudo /etc/init.d/psad start
- manual like sudo psad --sig-update or via crontab.
default psad log directory: cd /var/log/psad/
To see latest port scan activities, just execute:
Note: for any detected ip address there will be a separate directoryCode:sudo psad -S
with a lot of useful details (/var/log/psad/{attackers ip})
Special Note:
If you wanna create some visualization like that one you see at cipherdyne.org,
execute following steps:
install afterglow:
now run the iptables log export and redirect stdout to afterglow magic:Code:cd /opt/{your install dir} && wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/afterglow/AfterGlow%201.x/1.5.9/afterglow-1.5.9.tar.gz?use_mirror=freefr tar xvf afterglow-1.5.9.tar.gz && cd afterglow/src/perl
Note: adjust the color.properties file for your environment!Code:psad --CSV --CSV-fields "src dst dp" --CSV-max 1000 \ -m /var/log/kern.log \ |perl graph/afterglow.pl parsers/color.properties \ |neato -Tgif -o iptables_graph.gif /opt/kde3/bin/kview iptables_graph.gif
more examples: Honeynet Scan30 challenge visualization
Happy packet-watching!
Last edited by brtw2003; 02-23-2010 at 08:26 PM.
not really, because psad daemon is just using the iptables log feature + fifo to redirect logs for realtime parsing.
Of course it can have an effect if you are targeted for some kind of DDoS attacks and your iptables/fifo is flooded
with log entries ;-)
I also don't use automated blocking of src ip's nor email alerting..
how do i save the edited scripts like
HOME_NET NOT_USED; ### only one interface on my laptop!

Private Record-keeping
The United States Department of Agriculture requires certified private applicators to keep record of all restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications. Records must be logged within 14 days and kept for three years after the application.
Records are required to include the following:
- brand or product name
- EPA registration number
- location of application
- crop, stored product, commodity, or site treated
- day, month, and year applied
- size of area treated (or spot treatment)
- totally amount of pesticide applied
- name and certification number of applicator
For a Private Record-keeping form for a single field please click here.
For a Private Record-keeping form for multiple fields please click here.
For a copy of our Private Record-keeping Book please click here.
Commercial Applicators
Records kept by commercial applicators are used for clientele purposes or for internal record keeping. Records must also be kept for three years but have 30 days from the application to record.
If providing records to clients applicators need:
- Name/address, date/time
- Target pest
- Site, crop, commodity, or structure
- Pesticide applied
- EPA registration #
- Dilution and application rate
- Carrier, if not water
- Name of applicator
If providing records for internal record-keeping, applicators may also want to include:
- Nozzles/spacing/PSI
- Wind speed, wind direction, temp, rh
- Start/stop time
- WPS notification
How the Worker Protection Standard is Involved…
Any producer that employs individuals must comply with WPS requirements pertaining to personal protective equipment, restricted entry and posting. Both private and commercial applicators must meet the requirements of WPS when pesticide applications are made. For private applicators this pertains to the locations of the area treated or REI that persons may enter or come in contact within a quarter mile. For commercial applicators this pertains to the location, date/time, product name and its active ingredients, EPA registration number, REI and any oral or written notices associated with the application.
There is not one specific way to keep records. Applicators can use computer software, paper, the booklets we've provided, or even a smartphone 'app'! As long as all the required elements are met, record-keeping can benefit applicators in liability protection and insurance claims. It also provides a Pest Management Plan, helps with real estate transfers and management decisions, and most importantly it helps with treating pesticide exposures.

Whatever issue the Clarke men were favorable to, the Crawford men opposed.
Miss Crawford need not have urged secrecy with so much warmth; she might have trusted to her sense of what was due to her cousin.
Plummer now tried treachery, and told Crawford they would be friends.
The moment Crawford entered the room, Forbes did likewise, without the least idea what it was all about.
