A quick setup guide for Win32 and Win64 with recommended configuration.
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, you should strictly follow the recommendations below. They are known to work and if the build breaks, please re-read this guide carefully.
Known traps are:
PowerShell 2.0 or later is required for building Wireshark and the NSIS package. Windows 7 and later include compatible versions. It is also required by Chocolatey.
If you are running Windows Vista and have thus far managed to not install PowerShell 2.0, either directly or via anything that requires it, you must now install PowerShell 2.0. You can download it from https://www.microsoft.com/powershell
Chocolatey is a native package manager for Windows. There are packages for most of the software listed below. Along with traditional Windows packages it supports Cygwin and the Python Package Index.
You need to install, in exactly this order:
Uncheck all the optional components (unless you want to use them for purposes other than Wireshark).
You can use Chocolatey to install Visual Studio:
PS$>choco install VisualStudioCommunity2013
You can use other Microsoft C compiler variants, but VS2013 is used to build the development releases and is the preferred option. It's possible to compile Wireshark with a wide range of Microsoft C compiler variants. For details see Section 4.6, "Microsoft compiler toolchain (Windows native)".
You may have to do this as Administrator.
Compiling with gcc or Clang is not recommended and will certainly not work (at least not without a lot of advanced tweaking). For further details on this topic, see Section 4.5, "GNU compiler toolchain (UNIX only)". This may change in future as releases of Visual Studio add more cross-platform support.
Why is this recommended? While this is a huge download, Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition is the only free (as in beer) versions that includes the Visual Studio integrated debugger. Visual Studio 2013 is also used to create official Wireshark builds, so it will likely have fewer development-related problems.
For VS2010 You will need some extra items:
Windows SDK for Windows 7, if you want to build 64-bit binaries for Windows 7: Download and install "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7."
In case the install of the SDK fails go to software management and remove the VC++ 2010 runtime and redist packages (don't worry, they will be added back via the service pack later). If installation of the SDK still fails, there may be a permission problem. See here for a solution.
The main Wireshark application uses the Qt windowing toolkit. To install Qt download the Qt Online Installer for Windows from the Qt Project "Download Open Source" page and select a component that matches your target system and compiler. For example, the "msvc2013 64-bit" component is used to build the official 64-bit packages.
Note that separate installations (into different directories) of Qt
are required for 32 bit and 64 bit builds. The environment variable
QT5_BASE_DIR should be set as appropriate for your environment and
should point to the Qt directory that contains the bin directory, e.g.
On 32-bit Windows, download the 32-bit Cygwin installer and start it. On 64-bit Windows, download the 64-bit Cygwin installer and start it.
At the "Select Packages" page, you'll need to select some additional packages which are not installed by default. Navigate to the required Category/Package row and, if the package has a "Skip" item in the "New" column, click on the "Skip" item so it shows a version number for:
You might also have to install
if installing Devel/bison doesn't provide a working version of Bison. If m4 is missing bison will fail.
After clicking the Next button several times, the setup will then download and install the selected packages (this may take a while).
Why is this recommended? Cygwin's bash version is required, as no native Win32 version is available. As additional packages can easily be added, Perl and other packages are also used.
Alternatively you can install Cygwin and its packages using Chocolatey:
PS$>choco install cygwin PS$>choco install cyg-get //PS$>choco install sed asciidoc [...] -source cygwin
Chocolatey installs Cygwin in C:\tools\cygwin by default.
You can directly download packages via cyg-get
PS$>cyg-get asciidoc patch docbook-xml45 [...]
You can use Chocolatey's Win flex-bison packages rather than the Cygwin Bison and Flex package:
PS$>choco install winflexbison
Get the Python 3.5 or 2.7 installer from http://python.org/download/ and install Python into the default location (C:\Python35 or C:\Python27).
Why is this recommended? Cygwin's
/usr/bin/python is a Cygwin-specific
symbolic link which cannot be run from Windows. The native package is faster
as well.
Alternatively you can install Python using Chocolatey:
PS$>choco install python3
PS$>choco install python2
Chocolatey installs Python in C:\tools\python3 and C:\tools\python2 by default.
Please note that the following is not required to build Wireshark but can be quite helpful when working with the sources.
Working with the Git source repositories is highly recommended, see Section 3.3, "Obtain the Wireshark sources". It is much easier to update a personal source tree (local repository) with Git rather than downloading a zip file and merging new sources into a personal source tree by hand. It also makes first-time setup easy and enables the Wireshark build process to determine your current source code revision.
There are several ways in which Git can be installed. Most packages are available at the URLs below or via Chocolatey. Note that many of the GUI interfaces depend on the command line version.
If installing the Windows version of git select the Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt (in chocolatey the /GitOnlyOnPath option). Do not select the Use Git and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt option (in chocolatey the /GitAndUnixToolsOnPath option).
The official command-line installer is available at https://git-scm.com/download/win.
Git Extensions is a native Windows graphical Git client for Windows. You can download the installer from https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/releases/latest.
TortoiseGit is a native Windows graphical Git similar to TortoiseSVN. You can download the installer from https://tortoisegit.org/download/.
The command line client can be installed (and updated) using Chocolatey:
PS$> choco install git
A list of other GUI interfaces for Git can be found at https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis
Get the CMake installer from https://cmake.org/download/ and install CMake into the default location. Ensure the directory containing cmake.exe is added to your path.
Alternatively you can install CMake using Chocolatey:
PS$>choco install cmake.portable
Chocolatey ensures cmake.exe is on your path.
|Make sure everything works
It's a good idea to make sure Wireshark compiles and runs at least once before you start hacking the Wireshark sources for your own project. This example uses Git Extensions but any other Git client should work as well.
Download sources Download Wireshark sources into C:\Development\wireshark using either the command line or Git Extensions:
Using the command line:
>cd C:\Development >git clone https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark
Using Git extensions:
In the main screen select Clone repository. Fill in the following:
Repository to clone:
Destination: Your top-level development directory, e.g.
Subdirectory to create: Anything you'd like. Usually
|Check your paths
Make sure your repository path doesn't contain spaces.
From the Start Menu (or Start Screen), navigate to the Visual Studio 2013 → Visual Studio Tools directory and choose the Command Prompt appropriate for the build you wish to make, e.g. VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for a 32-bit version, VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for a 64-bit version.
|Pin the items to the Task Bar
Pin the Command Prompt you use to the Task Bar for easy access.
All subsequent operations take place in this Command Prompt window.
Set environment variables to control the build.
Set the following environment variables, using paths and values suitable for your installation:
> set CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning > set WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR=C:\Development or set WIRESHARK_LIB_DIR to the appropriate library directory for your build. > set WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM=win32 or win64 as required > set QT5_BASE_DIR=C:\Qt\5.6\msvc2013_64 > set WIRESHARK_VERSION_EXTRA=-YourExtraVersionInfo
If your Cygwin installation path is not automatically detected by CMake, you can explicitly specify it with the following environment variable:
> set WIRESHARK_CYGWIN_INSTALL_PATH=c:\cygwin or whatever other path that is applicable to your setup
If you are using a version of Visual Studio earlier than VS2012 then you must set an additional env var, e.g. for VS2010 set the following:
> set VisualStudioVersion=10.0
Setting these variables could be added to a batch file to be run after you open the Visual Studio Tools Command Prompt.
Qt 5.6 is a "long term support" branch of Qt5. We recommend using it to compile Wireshark on Windows.
Create and change to the correct build directory. CMake is best used in an out-of-tree build configuration where the build is done in a separate directory to the source tree, leaving the source tree in a pristine state. 32 and 64 bit builds require a separate build directory. Create (if required) and change to the appropriate build directory.
> mkdir C:\Development\wsbuild32 > cd C:\Development\wsbuild32
to create and jump into the build directory.
The build directory can be deleted at any time and the build files regenerated as detailed in Section 2.2.11, "Generate the build files".
CMake is used to process the CMakeLists.txt files in the source tree and produce build files appropriate for your system.
You can generate Visual Studio solution files to build either from within Visual Studio, or from the command line with MSBuild. CMake can also generate other build types but they aren't supported.
The initial generation step is only required the first time a build directory is created. Subsequent builds will regenerate the build files as required.
If you've closed the Visual Studio Command Prompt prepare it again.
To generate the build files enter the following at the Visual Studio command prompt:
> cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12" ..\wireshark
Adjusting the paths as required to Python and the wireshark source tree. To use a different generator modify the -G parameter, cmake -G lists all the CMake supported generators, but only Visual Studio is supported for Wireshark builds.
To build an x64 version, the -G parameter must have a Win64 suffix, e.g. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64", e.g.
> cmake -DENABLE_CHM_GUIDES=on -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" ..\wireshark
The CMake generation process will download the required 3rd party libraries (apart from Qt) as required, then test each library for usability before generating the build files.
At the end of the CMake generation process the following should be displayed:
-- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: C:/Development/wsbuild32
If you get any other output, there is an issue in your envirnment that must be rectified before building. Check the parameters passed to CMake, especially the -G option and the path to the Wireshark sources and the environment variables WIRESHARK_BASE_DIR, WIRESHARK_TARGET_PLATFORM and QT5_BASE_DIR.
Now it's time to build Wireshark!
> msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo Wireshark.sln
to build Wireshark.
C:\Development\wsbuild32\run\RelWithDebInfo\Wireshark.exe and make sure it starts.
You may also open the Wireshark solution file (Wireshark.sln) in the Visual Studio IDE and build there.
If compilation fails for suspicious reasons after you changed some source files try to clean the build files by running msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo Wireshark.sln /t:Clean and then building the solution again.
The build files produced by CMake will regenerate themselves if required by changes in the source tree.
You can debug using the Visual Studio Debugger or WinDbg. See the section on using the Debugger Tools.
Detailed information to build these guides can be found in the file docbook\README.txt in the Wireshark sources.
Note: You should have successfully built Wireshark before doing the following.
If you want to build your own Wireshark-win32-2.5.0-myprotocol123.exe, you'll need NSIS.
NSIS: Download and install NSIS
Note that the 32-bit version of NSIS will work for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Wireshark. NSIS v3 is recommended and may be required in the future.
Note: If you do not yet have a copy of vcredist_x86.exe or vcredist_x64.exe in ./wireshark-winXX-libs (where XX is 32 or 64) you will need to download the appropriate file and place it in ./wireshark-winXX-libs before starting this step.
If building an x86 version using a Visual Studio "Express" edition or an x64 version with any edition, then you must have the appropriate vcredist file for your compiler in the support libraries directory (vcredist_x86.exe in wireshark-32-libs or vcredist_x64.exe in wireshark-win64-libs).
The files can be located in the Visual Studio install directory for non-Express edition builds, or downloaded from Microsoft for Expresss edition builds.
Note you must use the correct version of vcredist for your compiler, unfortunately they all have the same name (vcredist_x86.exe or vcredist_x64.exe). You can use Windows Explorer and examine the Properties >> Details tab for a vcredist file to determine which compiler version the file is for use with.
> msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo nsis_package_prep.vcxproj > msbuild /m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo nsis_package.vcxproj
to build a Wireshark installer.
> C:\Development\wireshark\packaging\nsis\wireshark-win32-{wireshark-version}-myprotocol123.exe
to test your new installer. It's a good idea to test on a different machine than the developer machine. Note that if you've built an x64 version, the installer will be named accordingly.

Skelos Holds Child Safety Program Featuring Marc Klaas For Parents And Students At Long Beach Middle School
On May 26th, Senator Skelos will hold a public hearing at the Valley StreamNorthHigh School to solicit the involvement and recommendations of Long Island educators, law enforcement, community leaders and other advocates regarding the need to update and strengthen Megan's Law. As Senator Skelos wrote and enacted New YorkState's Megan's Law ten years ago, the May 26th hearing and an earlier forum at the State Capitol in Albany will provide the basis for a comprehensive Megan's Law Reform Act to be considered by the Senate in June.
Principally, Senator Skelos' public hearings are focused on the need for (1) lifetime registration, (2) mandatory community notification, (3) global positioning system tracking, (4) civil commitment and (5) electronic dissemination of information, including the availability of information about all sex offenders on the state website and e-mail notification to concerned members of the community. Maureen Kanka was the first person to testify at the Albany hearing and Laura Ahearn, Executive Director of Parents for Megan's Law, is scheduled to begin the Long Island hearing.

Let me explain. This would only happen if a VACUUM FULL had been run on the pre-9.0 database and it had failed part way through. Re-VACUUMing would remove those settings. ISTM that that the upgrade process should cover this, not force the server to cope with rare and legacy situations. If we do not do this, then we might argue it should *never* be removed because this same rare situation can persist into 9.1 etc.. There were data loss situations possible in early 8.4 and these persisted into later releases *because* the minor release upgrade process did not contain a scan to detect and remove the earlier problems. If we allow tuples to be in strange legacy states we greatly increase the difficulty of diagnosing and fixing problems. People will say "moved in/off can be ignored now" and mistakes will happen. We should remove the moved in/off flag bits and make it a part of the upgrade process to ensure the absence of those states. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com

Orange-barred Sulphur Butterfly ~ Phoebis philea
Although similar to Cloudless Sulphur butterflies, Orange-barred Sulphurs are larger. Females are large yellow butterflies with spots on the outside of their hind wings. Male butterflies have smaller spots on the outsides of their wings. The two photos above are of female Orange-barred Sulphur butterflies. This species is found primarily in the extreme southern edge of the United States (and throughout Mexico).
Above middle: female laying an egg on a cassia - senna plant. Orange-barred Sulphur larvae caterpillars, mid-size. The younger caterpillars are green/olive.
As the caterpillars grow larger, they become more green. They often rest with the front half of their bodies curved up and down.
Caterpillars have six eyes on each side of their heads. Below left; four of the six eyes are easily visible in this photo. Click to enlarge to see the additional two eyes. Below middle photo: the two spots that are in the spot we would expect to see eyes if this were a mammal are simply spots. The four dots on each lower side of its face are eyes. Below right: a caterpillar has attached itself and is preparing to pupate.
Center below: wings of male adults boast bright orange spots on the inside of their wings. When a bright light is behind a male, the orange is visible.
Below: a male Orange-barred Sulphur did not expand its wings to dry properly. Because its wings are deformed, the wings are open. Its orange spots are clearly visible.

Reader: New reviewer should remember to bring a thesaurus
The news that Laura Shunk is moving to New York and opening up a slot for a new restaurant critic inspired many readers to suggest possible candidates -- including old restaurant critic Jason Sheehan, for example. Penny Parker.
And two words: Dave. Barnes. "I think more reviews should be focused on menu font and whether it has free WiFi," writes Jim Rome.
There have been other suggestions for rules the new reviewer should live by.
These from EPL, for example:
You forgot two musts for any candidate:
1. overuse of adjectives that usually add nothing to the review (and ability to navigate a thesaurus; and
2. the mindset that simply telling the reader how an ingredient is applied is somehow a substitute for telling the reader what the ingredient actually does to the dish in question.
What qualities do you look for in a restaurant review? And how important is it to you that a critic be anonymous during review meals? Post your thoughts below, or join the discussion already under way here.

Google's "Unsupervised" Self-Learning Neural Network Searches For Cat Pics
Jason Mick
June 26, 2012 2:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Pop Kitten)
Magic happens at Google Inc.'s (
) X Laboratory, a secret research and development center located at an unknown location in the Bay Area of Northern California. Some projects previously disclosed have been the
augmented reality "Google Goggles"
and the
self-driving automobiles
. Google X is even rumored to be working on
a space elevator
I. AI Neural Net Loves Cats
But one of the most fascinating -- and perhaps frightening -- Google X accomplishment has been its creation of one of the world's largest self-learning
"unsupervised" neural networks
. Consisting of 16,000 computer processors, the array is capable of complex task that are considered impossible using traditional algorithms. One such task is finding cute cats on the internet.
As a test of the nascent cognizant system,
Stanford University
Electrical Engineering Professor
Andrew Y. Ng
and Google fellow Jeff Dean fed the machine 10 million thumbnails of YouTube videos. Without being told exactly what to "look for", the network began to hierarchically arrange data, removing duplicate similar features and group certain images together.
One example was the cat. Thanks to the wealth of cat videos on YouTube, the cyber-brain eventually came to a single dream-like image representing the network's knowledge of what a cat looks like. The network was able to then able to recognize its favorite thing -- cat videos, no matter what subtle variations merry YouTubers come up with to their feline's appearance.

The significant part, say researchers, is that the network wasn't told what to look for.
Professor Dean
in an interview in
New York Times
, "We never told it during the training, 'This is a cat.' It basically invented the concept of a cat. We probably have other ones that are side views of cats."
II. Future Systems May Match or Beat Human Brain
Google researchers believe this capability is due to the fact that the network operates similarly to the visual cortex in the human brain. The visual cortex is thought to contain so-called "grandmother neurons", which store key images, such as your love ones' faces. The system developed an idea of what a human face looks like, though it lacked the specificity of known faces stored in the human visual cortex.

Dr. Ng describes, "A loose and frankly awful analogy is that our numerical parameters correspond to synapses [in the human brain]."
He says that despite that the network learned what a cat looks like and many basic human features, that it still had far less connections ("synapses") than a human brain. In short, mankind is still winning versus his digital counterpart. Writes the team, "It is worth noting that our network is still tiny compared to the human visual cortex, which is a million times larger in terms of the number of neurons and synapses."
David A. Bader
, executive director of high-performance computing at the
Georgia Tech
College of Computing, though, says that the team's findings indicate that mankind's era of superiority will be short-lived. He comments, "The scale of modeling the full human visual cortex may be within reach before the end of the decade."
In a difficult test of recognizing 20,000 images, the system performed better than any machine to date, post-learning. The final accuracy was 15.8 percent, 70 percent better than the previous record-holder.
The work was
at the
29th International Conference on Machine Learning
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The project is now headed out of the top-secret lab and into Google's server farms. Applications that it may be used in include improving results in Google's image search and adaptive speech recognition for Android mobile devices.
But Professor Ng has his sights set on a far more ambitious goal -- a machine that is capable of fully learning, developing into a
fully sentient digital system
. To get there he'll need to wait for the never-ending process of hardware improvements to reach a bit further and he'll also have to work on the fundamental algorithms.
The Google X system is close, but not quite there. He states, "It'd be fantastic if it turns out that all we need to do is take current algorithms and run them bigger, but my gut feeling is that we still don't quite have the right algorithm yet."

Knowing what you want to do with your PC greatly reduces the number of systems you'll need to wade through, but with so many different configurations on offer, it can still be daunting trying to figure out what's what.
Most people's needs fall into easily defined groups so rather than having to compare the specs of every PC you find, we'll show you how to make sure the PC you're after meets what we consider to be the minimum features you'll need.
It's worth noting that when we refer to integrated graphics, this means the computer comes with 3-D graphics built into the motherboard (main circuit board). They're generally not as good as a 3-D graphics card but if you're not planning to play the latest games, the integrated option is much cheaper.
Similarly, models with integrated sound have sound built-in with the sockets located at the back of the computer. While almost every computer can deliver and capture stereo sound, more recent PCs allow you to connect 5.1-surround speaker systems to the back (using a sound chip that sits on the motherboard). You can then watch your DVD movies on your PC's DVD-ROM drive and hear theatre-like sound using the on-board sound controller.
When you're studying you're usually on a tight budget so the key thing to look for here is price: if you're spending more than $2000, you're spending too much.
You won't get everything at this price but it should still be enough to surf the Internet and handle word-processing and basic multimedia. Here's the minimum specification I'd look for:
Processor: 1.7GHz Intel Celeron or Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 1800+
Memory: 256MB DDR266 RAM
Hard disk drive: 20GB
Monitor:17-inch CRT
ROM-drive: DVD-ROM or CD-RW
Graphics: Integrated graphics
Sound: Integrated sound
Speakers: stereo speakers
Connection: V.90 modem
Top model: Acer Aspire B300 AB09, $1499, www.acer.com.au
Also worth considering: Dell Dimension 2350, $1623.60, www.dell.com.au; Plus Corporation Tsunami I43, $1479, www.pluscorp.com.au
Two features are key for playing the latest games: processor and graphics card. If you want to play 3-D games at their best, you need to spend as much on these as you can. A big screen and good audio certainly help but the processor and graphics card define how playable the game is and how good it looks.
Unfortunately, the big-name PC brands often fall short when it comes to offering decent 3-D graphics, unless you get a top-line model. Instead, you may have to buy a fast PC with cheap graphics and go and buy your own graphics card.
If you don't want to spend a fortune, here's what we'd consider a good place to start:
Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Memory: 512MB DDR333 RAM
Hard disk drive: 80GB
Monitor:17-inch CRT
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 8xAGP or similar
ROM drive: 16X-speed DVD-ROM
Sound: six-channel sound card
Speakers: 5.1-surround sound speaker system
Connections: V.90 modem or broadband
Top model: Dell Dimension 4550, $3132.80, www.dell.com.au
Also worth considering: Plus Corporation Aspect T3, $3195, www.pluscorp.com.au
Digital photography requires a PC with plenty of memory - images from some digital cameras can easily exceed 20 or 30MB once they're decompressed. And if you start adding lots of filters and editing changes, you're going to need a good processor and a sharp clear screen to go with it.
You don't need the latest 3-D graphics card here; in fact, integrated graphics would be fine and allow you to spend money elsewhere. Sound and speakers would also be optional extras. A CD-RW drive, or a CD burner, is another essential tool. It lets you back up original images on disc and save hard drive space.
Also include USB 2.0 ports - as new cameras arrive in the future, you can expect USB 2.0 to greatly improve the download times for your images from the camera to your PC's hard disk drive.
Here's how we see your PC's minimum requirements:
Processor: 2.2GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Memory: 512MB DDR333 RAM
Hard disk drive: 80GB
Monitor:17-inch CRT (flat-screen preferable)
Graphics: integrated graphics
CD-ROM drive: 24X-speed CD-R/RW drive
Sound: optional
Speakers: optional
Connection: USB 2.0
Software: Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw
Top model: Plus Corporation Aspect T2, $2495, www.pluscorp.com.au

Home moviemaker
To edit films, you'll need a powerhouse PC.
Digital video editing is the most complex application you can perform on a computer at the moment - even more so than 3-D games because it relies on plenty of processing horsepower and plenty of hard drive capacity.
Make sure the unit has at least one FireWire (IEEE1394) connection point so you can link up your camera - FireWire lets you transfer digital video from your camcorder to your PC easily.
The hard disk drive should be a fast ATA100/7200RPM type with as much space as you can afford. Forget about 3-D graphics - integrated graphics would be fine in this case.
And if you're really serious, a DVD burner will allow you to create your own movie discs and play them either on your PC or stand-alone DVD player.
For this, I'd recommend a drive that can burn DVD-R discs such as Sony's DRU-500A or Pioneer's DVR-A05.
This is one area where Apple excels as well, so while they won't match the average features, they're definitely a must-see brand.
Here's what to look for:
Processor: 2.6GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (Win) 800MHz PowerPC G4 (Mac)
Memory: 512MB DDR333 RAM (PC) 256MB SDRAM (Mac)
Hard disk drive: 80 or 120GB ATA100 7200RPM (Win) 60GB ATA (Mac)
Monitor:17-inch CRT (Win) 15-inch LCD (Mac)
Graphics: integrated graphics (Win) NVIDIA GeForce2 MX (Mac)
Sound: integrated audio (Win and Mac)
Speakers: stereo satellites with sub-woofer (Win and Mac)
Connection: IEEE1394 FireWire (Win and Mac)
ROM drive: DVD-R burner (Sony DRU-500A or Pioneer DVR-A05) (Win) Apple SuperDrive (Mac)
Top model: Apple iMac SuperDrive, $3695, www.apple.com.au

Small business
When you're running a small business, every feature of your PC is important. It needs to be reliable, have good support if anything should go wrong, and last you as long as possible.
For many businesses, a PC with built-in networking will be vital but 3-D graphics won't be unless you're working with CAD (computer-aided design) and then there are special graphics cards costing more than $1000 that might be necessary.
Here, even size is important - and this is where a small desktop case can save your precious workspace. These are known as "micro-ATX" systems and generally offer similar features to common tower cases but in a much smaller size.
For standard word-processing, spreadsheets and database work, you won't need a high-powered system and spending less than $2000 should be your aim.
Processor: 1.8GHz Intel Celeron or Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 2000+
Memory: 256MB DDR RAM
Hard disk drive: 40GB
Monitor:17-inch CRT
Graphics: integrated graphics
Sound: integrated audio
ROM drive: 48X-speed CD-ROM
Connection: 100Mbps Ethernet (aka Fast Ethernet)

MP3 junkie
Having the fastest processor in the world isn't as important to music lovers as having a large hard disk drive capacity, CD burner and awesome sound.
I would recommend Creative's Sound superb Blaster Extigy external sound card - you can connect it up to your DVD player and get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound as well.
If you're a serious audio junkie, consider using digital audio (SP/DIF) connections to connect your DAT recorder or DVD player audio. Many PCs today come with integrated six-channel audio but the quality is not as good as the Extigy, but you'll probably have to buy this as an extra, as it's rarely included with PCs.
If you just want to transfer songs to your MP3 player, you could go for a cheaper system without serious audio - as long as it has a big hard disk drive and a USB port to connect to your player.
Processor: 2GHz Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon XP 2000+
Memory: 256MB DDR RAM
Hard disk drive: 80GB
Monitor:17-inch CRT
Graphics: integrated graphics
Sound: Integrated six-channel audio (Creative Extigy preferred)
Speakers: 5.1-surround sound or good-quality HiFi system
ROM drive: 40x12x48 CD-RW drive
Connections: USB 2.0, V.90 modem
Top model: Dell Dimension 2350, $2315.50, www.dell.com.au

Because there are so many different combinations available and they change so often, don't expect to find a PC that has everything you want. The key is to find as many features as possible and compromise on the others. Even better, vendors who will work with you to build the system you want rather than the one they want to sell you are vendors worth dealing with.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Vila, Jorge Luis Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-10162012-191021 Title Structural and Molecular Pathology of the Atrium in Boxer Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Veterinary Clinical Sciences Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Pariaut, Romain Committee Chair Eades, Susan Committee Member Francis, Joseph Committee Member Keywords
- atria
- arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
- boxer
Date of Defense 2012-09-25 Availability restricted AbstractArrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), is a disease characterized by fatty or fibro-fatty myocardial replacement, predominantly in the right ventricle and to a lower extent the left ventricle. It is recognized as a disease affecting the cardiac intercalated disc. Clinically, it is associated with ventricular arrhythmias, although atrial arrhythmias and atrial histopathological changes characteristic of AC have occasionally been reported. The full extent of atrial involvement in AC has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to apply histopathology, immunochemical detection, immunolocalization and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to characterize the distribution of desmosomal and gap junction proteins at the intercalated disc in the atria of boxers with AC. We hypothesized that histological changes consistent with AC and alterations to the intercalated disc proteins are present in the atria of boxer dogs with AC. The hearts from 14 control and 13 boxers with confirmed AC were studied. Right and left atrial sections from 11 boxers were examined by immunofluorescence. Samples from 10 boxers were used for Western blot analysis. The intercalated disc proteins investigated were connexin 43 (Cx43), connexin 45, connexin 40, plakoglobin, plakophilin-2, desmoplakin, and cadherin. Transmission electron microscopy was performed on the right and left atrial sections of 2 boxers and 2 controls. Western blot band relative density indicated a significant decrease of Cx43 in the right atrium of affected boxers compared to controls. There was no difference between controls and boxers for the other proteins investigated. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that the number of Cx43 signals and the signal intensity for plakoglobin was decreased in the left and right atrium of affected boxers. Transmission electron microscopy suggested disruption of the intercalated disc in affected boxers. In conclusion, these results indicate the alteration of intercalated disc proteins in the atrial myocardium of boxers, showing atrial involvement in addition to the ventricles. These findings support the use of the broader term of AC rather than ARVC to describe this disease. The decrease in the amount of Cx43 in conjunction with the histological changes could represent the substrate for the atrial arrhythmias associated with AC. Files

There is a fairly big gap in the relationship between The Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) and bailiffs. Whilst they don't work against each other they do struggle to communicate. JBW Group has started a programme of talks specifically written for CAB to help them understand the purpose and work of bailiffs. Christine Eva, Legal and Compliance Manager told us about the programme:
How did this start?
It evolved as a result of handling a complaint which built a genuine rapport with a particular branch of the CAB. Thereafter, they kept in touch with requests for information etc. I was then invited to give a talk and at that point I wrote the presentation. Since then I have been invited to do several more. I have also attended at a branch to trouble-shoot where CAB caseworkers, the debtor and I have sat around the table and I have explained procedures and discussed the issues causing concern. This was very successful and we soon resolved the situation.
What does the talk involve?
The presentation takes them through the rules and regulations of what a bailiff is and isn't allowed to do. It explains the Enforcement Process from beginning to end. The idea is to lift the profile of the Bailiffs and explain why they are necessary. One of the key objectives is to help CAB identify the vulnerable individuals who really have no ability to pay and separate from those who are trying to avoid payment.
What does the CAB think about this?
For the CAB, one of the most important issues they have with customers is that they have no real understanding of the charges, how and when they are applied and at what particular stage. They have found JBW's transparency refreshing and really useful to have an opportunity to discuss various points with a bailiff company face to face.
How does it help debtors?
Many debtors are vulnerable people and actually unable to pay their debts. Now that CAB is more knowledgeable on the process they are able to offer a better service to their customers ideally sorting out a situation before a bailiff needs to get involved. Bailiffs are trained to spot the difference between those who can't pay and those who won't, the CAB needs to be able to identify this too.
Christine comments; "This has proved to be an invaluable communication exercise for all parties concerned so that everyone has a greater understanding of the system. So together, we are able to offer a better service."

About Me
I am a Makeup Artist based in the DC / Maryland area, but willing to travel. I have been in to fashion and makeup every since I can remember. When I was a kid, I made clothes for my Barbie and Christie dolls, cut their hair in to styles that I had seen in Vogue and begged my dad to buy me "Princess Makeup", even though I was way too young to be wearing makeup. My days of powder blue eyeshadow and pink lipgloss at the playground, eventually grew into to me becoming the "in house" stylist in my college dormitory and later the MUA for all of my friend's weddings. Although my path in life took me in a different direction, I never let go of my love for fashion and makeup and so at last the flame has been rekindled.
I joined MM to network with other professionals, while building my portfolio and career.

A new appointee to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission has a 2011 citation on his record for oyster poaching.
Glen W. "Wayne" France, whom Gov. Terry McAuliffe put on the commission earlier this month, said he'd forgotten the charge until the Daily Press contacted him Thursday. He readily acknowledged the incident, though.
"We didn't know it was a closed area," he said. "I was working on another guy's boat."
After a Marine Resources Commission officer pointed out the problem, "we put our oysters back overboard, I went to court and paid my ticket off," France said.
The fine was $100, court records show. The charge:...

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 10.2090 Monday, 29 November 1999.
Date: Friday, 26 Nov 1999 10:33:18 -0500
Subject: Unkindest Cut
I am planning a panel paper for the Spring conference of the Association
for Core texts and Courses (ACTC) in which I propose to discuss some
directorial omissions in the productions of plays. I shall cite two
specific instances,
The first one concerns two productions of A WINTER's TALE - one by the
Cebtaur Theatre in Montreal, the other in Stratford, Ontario in the same
year (I think it was 1997). In both cases, the dialogue between Perdita
and Polyxenes about nature and nurture (IV,iv) was cut. This passage
highlights the characterization of Perdita: she is the lost princess,
nurtured in "base" circumstances, yet her nobility and integrity
epitomize her true "nature" - which is the controlling factor of the
final redemption and reconciliation. On the other hand, something may
be said for Polyxenes's touch of sophistry, when he argues that the very
fact of human endeavors to improve on pristine nature is also "natural".
My second example comes from Kenneth Branagh's otherwise admirable film,
HENRY V. Toward the end of the film, the King is seen, crossing the
battle-ravaged landscape carrying a dead boy. He has been informed of
the slaughter of the baggage train boys by the retreating French - and
he has responded with great anger. His brief appearance with the dead
boy in his arms would acquired more weight and focus, had a previous
scene been included. It involves the nameless Boy of the DRAMATIS
PERSONAE, Falstaff's former factotum. His master's death has forced him
to seek the protection of the only friends he knew - and to join
Falstaff's former boon companions, as they enlist in the King's
expedition against France. But as he watches this band of thieves and
looters an action, he makes a decision: as he tells us, "I must leave
them and seek/ some other service. Their villainy/ goes against my weak
stomach/ and I must cast it up! (H.V, II,ii,47-53)". He finds his
"other service" in the baggage train. Having this episode precede the
King's reaction to the slaughter of children, would have made a strong
statement of considerable thematic weight.
I wonder if any list members have had similar experiences with this kind
of "most unkindest cut of all" - and would like to share them.

How to import a used vehicle into Malaysia :
The imposition of very high import duties make owning a non Malaysian made car somewhat expensive. Import duties run to as high as 300%. Consequently the vast majority of cars in Malaysia are locally produced ones.
Cost of maintenance and parts for foreign cars are also factors to be considered. Needless to say if your car is rare or indeed not available inMalaysia these factors become paramount.
To import your car to Malaysia, you must apply for an Approval Permit (AP) from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
In order to apply for this permit your car must be registered under your name for at least 3 years.

, during a special sneak preview of the format for the press. My initial thoughts were that the films looked and sounded great. After all, they contain high-definition video, created directly from the studio archive masters, and encoded at an MPEG-2 video bit rate of 28.2 megabits per second (broadcast high-definition video is only 19 megabits per second by comparison). In addition, they contain the film's Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack at a whopping 576 kilobits per second, as opposed to the 384 kilobits per second (or sometimes 448 kilobits per second) found on DVD. But, since D-VHS is a tape-based format, it has all the disadvantages you'd expect from tape - it's prone to damage, you can't have all the supplemental bells and whistles you'd find on DVD... and you have to rewind the damned things. I thought D-VHS was a cool toy, but it would barely be a blip on consumer radar screens.
So what do I think now, after trying out a few movies in person? I think D-VHS is a cool toy, but it will barely be a blip on consumer radar screens. D-VHS looks and sounds truly amazing. I'm really enjoying playing with it. But I hate videotape. I mean, I really hate it. Already, in just a week of watching movies on D-VHS, I've seen tape hits and occasional digital errors in the picture caused by physical damage to the tape itself, as well as dust on the video heads of the player. And there's nothing more depressing than watching a movie in amazing quality... only to have to rewind the damned things. This is the 21st Century, right? Disc is the future, baby. Anyone who doesn't agree is entitled to their opinion... but I suspect they'll still be scratching their heads one day, when recordable HD-DVD makes tape go the way of the dodo bird and the dinosaur.
What Does D-VHS Mean for DVD?
This is the question most of you are probably interested in, judging by the sheer amount of panicked e-mails I've been receiving since we published out first story on the format. The e-mails usually go something like: "Oh my God!! Does this mean DVD is dead? Oh, no! DVD is dead, isn't it?!" or "You mean I've bought hundreds of movies on DVD only to have to buy them all again on TAPE?!" And then there's the more... well, I'll just call them "uninformed" e-mails. They go something like this: "D-VHS is clearly the MORTAL ENEMY of DVD!!! We have to KILL THIS JUST LIKE DIVX!!!" These people usually go on to ask how we even dare to review D-VHS movies, because that's going to undermine DVD.
To all of you I say... RELAX!
I mean, seriously folks! Take a chill pill. D-VHS has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common with the now defunct Divx pay-per-view format, save for the fact that only some of the Hollywood studios have committed to releasing movies on D-VHS. How do I know? Because I do.
Some of you may be too new to
The Digital Bits
to remember this, but I was the person who broke the news about Divx! Back before
The Bits
was a website (it was then an e-mail newsletter), I posted the very first word about Divx on
It's All DVD
forum (also now defunct). I had contacted Buena Vista in November of 1997, because they were (at the time) expected to announce that they were finally about to join the DVD bandwagon. Their press spokesperson told me that the studio was going to be releasing, "a version of DVD that's better than regular DVD, called Divx." So I posted this news online. I was then invited by the studio to participate in the original press conference with Divx (and Circuit City) CEO Richard Sharp, wherein he announced the format and answered questions about it. I asked a couple of very pointed ones, about Divx being a direct competitor for DVD, and received answers that convinced me that Divx had to go. Later that day, I posted information on
on how people could access an audio recording of this press conference, to hear about Divx for themselves. Copies of the recording (and transcripts as well) flooded the Net shortly thereafter. Then, several months later,
The Digital Bits
the very first public look at an actual Divx player
. We examined the technology for ourselves, determined to keep an open mind. As several Divx executives told me (even as their format was dying) much later, it the most objective look at the technology anyone had ever done.
Of course, we immediately decided that Divx WAS in direct competition to dominate the future of DVD. So the staff of
The Digital Bits
led the charge against the format. We started the
FREE DVD/FIGHT DIVX Campaign
, rallied studio and grassroots consumer support against the format and spoke against Divx in countless mainstream press interviews. We
kept watch on Divx activities
politely dogged them at every turn
and lobbied actively for the Divx-supporting studios to begin releasing movies on regular (then called "open") DVD. Ultimately, millions of consumers agreed with the outspoken early adopters, and
Divx died a very expensive death
(Circuit City, which created the format, lost some $114 million). All the studios did finally join the DVD bandwagon. And the rest is history.
So what does all this have to do with D-VHS? Trust me when I say that D-VHS is nothing like Divx.
D-VHS is an extreme niche product. The players are pricey (in the $1,500 range for the only model currently capable of playing the tapes). The movies are pricey (roughly $30-40 per tape with no extras, available from only a few retail outlets and online vendors). There are only a handful of films on D-VHS at the moment, with only an additional handful expected before the end of the year. Currently, only Fox, DreamWorks, Universal and Artisan support the format with major movie software (and few, if any, other studios are likely to join them). The consumer market is exceedingly small (you need a pricey HDTV to view the movies, and only about 2 million of those are in American homes at the moment). And the "press fanfare", the "hoopla", the marketing push for D-VHS is virtually nonexistent. Add to that the fact that DVD is now installed in some 30 MILLION homes in the U.S. and it's no contest. Bottom line: D-VHS isn't going to hurt DVD even in the slightest, any more than DVD-Audio and SACD is going to hurt the CD format in the forseeable future. As I said before, I expect it will barely be a blip on consumer radar screens.
However... D-VHS may actually HELP the development of a true high-definition disc format - the much revered HD-DVD that many of us consider the ultimate holy grail of home entertainment. Less than a month after the D-VHS format was announced,
a group of manufacturers announced that they were developing a "Bluray" disc format
to accommodate high-definition movies on disc. And the official DVD Forum (the group of studios and manufactures responsible for the creation of the DVD format) became much more active in working to finalize a physical disc format and technical specification for an eventual HD-DVD format.
So ANY success that D-VHS has is likely to increase the incentive of the DVD industry to bring viable HD-DVD to market. Think about it - these companies don't want D-VHS cutting into their current or future profits from DVD (or HD-DVD). They have as much at stake here as you do - even more financially.
So don't worry about D-VHS. It's a fun little toy for those who can afford it. And that's about all.
Our D-VHS Review Format
Obviously, D-VHS movies, being high-definition, represent a significant improvement in quality over existing, standard-definition DVDs. Conversely, they have to be graded on their own scale. So what we'll do, whenever possible, is to make links available in our D-VHS reviews to our existing DVD reviews of the same films. And we'll also include
DVD Comparative Ratings
in each D-VHS review, indicating what the DVD quality would be if we graded it on the same scale as D-VHS. Finally, whenever possible, we'll directly compare D-VHS video and audio quality to the DVD counterpart in the text of the review. All of these steps should allow you to gain a better understanding of just how much of an improvement movies released in high-definition can be. If you chose to abstain from adopting the D-VHS format (which is completely understandable, and will be the likely position of the vast majority of you), just think of these reviews as a little sneak peek at what you can eventually expect from HD-DVD in the not-too-distant future.
So... with that, it's on to the reviews! Just click on the link below to view our index of D-VHS titles reviewed. And, as always, I welcome your comments.

Bayern Munich's 3-2 victory over Hertha Berlin on Saturday maintained their lead at the top of the 2013-14 German Bundesliga table.
Pep Guardiola's side have now won 8 of their first 10 league matches this season, drawing the other two. They are also 3/3 in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich were beaten just once in the league on their way to securing an historic treble last season. That one and only loss came in week 9 last season; a 2-1 home loss to Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
French forward Franck Ribéry who has been in outstanding form once again this season was absent during that loss last season.
By missing that game and playing in the majority of Bayern Munich's games before and after, Franck Ribéry has set a Bundesliga lead by going 39 games without losing.
Franck Ribéry last tasted defeat in the Bundesliga on 11 April 2012 – 0-1 at Borussia Dortmund which effectively wrapped up the 2011-12 title for BVB.
The Bayern Munich star has played in 39 league matches since for Bayern Munich, winning 34 of those.
Ribéry had previously shared the record with Holger Hieronymus who went 38 games undefeated with Hamburger SV between 1981-83.

For the second consecutive year, the School-University Teacher Education Partnership at Western Carolina University is a finalist for the Christa McAuliffe Excellence in Teacher Education Award presented annually by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
Western's program, better known as SUTEP, is one of six finalists from across the nation for the award, which recognizes excellence in teacher education programs. The award is named in honor of Christa McAuliffe, the school teacher who died when the space shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in January 1986.
News of WCU's status as a finalist comes just three months after the university and SUTEP received a national award presented annually to recognize teacher education programs that exhibit outstanding collaboration with local school systems. The Association of Teacher Educators presented its 2006 Distinguished Program in Teacher Education award to Western in February.
SUTEP is part of Western's effort to improve the academic achievement of students in all grade levels by providing assistance to educators at each step in their development when they are student teachers, when they first enter the teaching profession, and when they are in the middle of their careers and are seeking additional professional development.
Christa McAuliffe is well-known for saying I touch the future. I teach,' said Michael Dougherty, dean of WCU's College of Education and Allied Professions. At Western, we believe that, by working hand in hand with our public school partners, we are touching the future by developing and nurturing the high-quality teachers preparing the young people who represent the future of our region, our state and our nation.
Established in 1997 as one of 14 such partnerships in North Carolina, SUTEP has formal agreements with 87 schools in 17 WNC school systems and informal partnerships with the remaining school systems and charter schools in the region, said Ruth McCreary , director of SUTEP since 2001.
Through the partnership, which also involves faculty members from WCU's College of Arts and Sciences, educators from local systems help provide a real-world classroom perspective to students in the university's teacher education program. Teachers serve as clinical faculty, co-teaching selected courses with WCU instructors in an effort to blend theory and practice, and as cooperating teachers working with faculty members on education research projects. Local school systems also provide traditional pre-service field experience for WCU's student teachers.
The Christa McAuliffe Excellence in Teacher Education Award recognizes outstanding programs in teacher education at AASCU member institutions. AASCU institutions prepare more than 50 percent of all new teachers in the United States each year. The Christa McAuliffe Award highlights the major role that state colleges and universities play in the preparation of teachers.
Finalists for the award are asked to submit final proposals to the awards committee by June 19. Award recipients will be notified by Sept. 30, and awards will be presented at the AASCU annual meeting in November.
For more information about teacher education at WCU, contact the College of Education and Allied Professions at (828) 227-7311 or visit the Web site at http://www.ceap.wcu.edu/ .

The New Food Safety Regime in the US: How Will it Affect Canadian Competitiveness
The FSMA appears to be a major undertaking with a very large responsibility placed on the FDA. It would seem that bottlenecks to exporting are bound to appear which will be very frustrating for Canadian firms. It is important for Canadian firms and Canadian policy makers to work hard to ensure that temporary bottlenecks do not become permanent inhibitors of trade. The Canadian government needs to understand industry concerns and use any mechanisms – including those in the NAFTA – to initiate consultations with the US. Given the likely lags in implementation, North American food markets are likely to exhibit considerable disequilibrium over the near term. Trade flows will be affected. As the implementation programs of the FSMA become more transparent, more sophisticated analysis into its effect on Canadian competitiveness in the US market can be undertaken.
