Prompt before allowing HTML5 Canvas image extraction

The HTML5 canvas can be used for fingerprinting WebGL and font rendering as described in http://www.w2spconf.com/2012/papers/w2sp12-final4.pdf. The fingerprint technique hinges on the ability for JS to extract image/data urls from the canvas object and hash them and/or compute differences. There's some demonstration code that works for a specific (but currently unknown) ruby version here: https://github.com/kmowery/canvas-fingerprinting.
I think the least-effort defense for now is to simply prompt before image extraction, and to allow extraction permissions to be set on a url-bar domain basis if the user has opted to store browser state to disk.
Later, we can think about virtualizing this surface during extraction, but I don't think we'll need to do that unless every site in the world decides to make a lolcat captioning HTML5 widget.

I discovered my problems with the the github code: It requires Ruby 1.9, and gem install has poor failure modes for compile errors.
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by mikeperry
The interfaces for getting image data are https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/HTMLCanvasElement#Methods and also https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/CanvasRenderingContext2D#getImageData%28%29

This was fixed by Pearl Crescent with https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/maint-2.2:/src/current-patches/firefox/0021-Add-canvas-image-extraction-prompt.patch.
Note the strings for the prompt actually come from Torbutton:

This is quite confusing. I added the message here so it can found by search engines more easily.
This website (%S) attempted to access image data on a canvas. Since canvas image data can be used to discover information about your computer, blank image data was returned this time.

I am planning on going to Thailand next year and wanted to travel through the major cities by bicycle.
1)Are there places available to rent bikes in most cities?
2)How much are they to rent?
3)Are bike locks provided or should I bring my own?
4) Lastly, are there places to "park" and lock your bike on most streets while shopping/site seeing etc.?
Thanks to anyone who has info

Photo Thank You's
Thank you Jenn for taking the photos of Elvie and Mattie Crowley gravestones. I know how time consuming this can be. I am playing catch up on my emails as I lost some and found them later.
Beautiful memories etched upon our hearts and souls will never be forgotten.

RE: Clara Hubbard
Hello Jenn,
I have came across the same thing in Brandon, Hill County and Find A Grave finely (after several requests) combined the two cemeteries. There was only a dirt road separating the two. To me that would be the right thing to do. Have you requested to them to combine the cemeteries?
I have several family members buried there and ask for a headstone photo request but not sure which one he is buried in now.
There are so many duplicates due to the two different names of this cemetery. Maybe a request to Find A Grave could fix this...?

I've linked Jens to his wife and to their children. Per your request, I've transferred the memorials to you. I've made notation on each of the memorial where I obtained the info for the memorials. Finally, using my date calculator, I've updated their DOB based on the info that I had from the cemetery transcription.

On Dylan Farrow, Being Triggered & Dealing With Trauma
I woke up the morning after feeling irritated, a clutching pain behind my eyes. Alert, but not wanting to do anything. There it was, that vague feeling of dis-ease, a familiar disconnection.
It's difficult to admit how personally triggered I was by Dylan Farrow's open letter in The New York Times. I would rather ignore it, throw myself into work or blame the feeling on something else— maybe I'm mad at my boyfriend. Maybe it's my body; maybe I could make the way I'm feeling about the way I look— but that's not the truth. I know what's wrong and— like Farrow's story itself, it's worth saying out loud.
It was less Farrow's letter than it was people's reactions that had upset me. "Friends" on Facebook jumped to Woody Allen's defense, many posting that awful piece on Daily Beast as if it were some kind of counterpoint. Yeah, it's Facebook, I know I shouldn't care. But my connections to people, however they come, are important. And besides, some of these people were friends in real life, individuals that I used to trust and respect. That trust and respect was gone.
Reading through comments, I found myself sickened. I mean, if it's your position that you don't know what happened, why say anything at all? Why re-enforce the message to survivors that we won't be believed? That we're making it up and anyways, who cares?
This is exactly what perpetrators do, I thought to myself. This is exactly what makes our traumas traumatic.
I was never a victim of sexual abuse, but I did grow up in an abusive home, and experienced what experts would describe as repeated or cumulative trauma. I was exposed to terrorizing situations as a child. My home-life was unpredictable, and my physical and emotional needs were not predictably met. I learned to survive in a perilous environment. Like most victims of trauma, I mal-adapted.
One of the most difficult parts of surviving a trauma is seeing people with the power to do something do nothing. People around you know that bad things are happening and yet they ignore it. Worse, they deny it. They pretend it's not true. I used to have dreams, when I was a kid, that I was screaming and screaming and screaming and no sound was coming out. These dreams continued well into adulthood. Mornings after, I'd wake up with a crushing, inexplicable sense of loss.
What was lost, I have come to understand, was my feeling of belonging. My connection to community. My respect for humanity, including my own.
Many years in recovery, I've learned how the choices I've made in my lifetime are related to my trauma, evidence of a characteristic propensity to re-expose myself as if this time I might master new versions of my earlier pain; relationship violence, substance abuse, compulsivity, promiscuity, sex work, excessiveness in all respects, recklessness in every way imaginable— I've been there, done that, bought the hair shirt emblazoned with self-loathing. Before this, as a child, I had tried my best to be perfect. To control the uncontrollable, I'd tried following the rules— making myself small and doing everything right— but following the rules proved impossible. The game was rigged. Like most victims of trauma, I grew to mistrust authority. Adults were unsafe. They were violent and mean, or else they turned a blind eye. A failure at earning my mother's protection, I was left to rescue myself. I grew up quick and came to believe I could take care of myself, thank you very much. I didn't need your help— not that you were offering.
Now in my thirties, I've spent most of my life intent on surviving, on meeting my basic needs in hostile environments— environments that I've put myself in, mind you— situations all the more hostile for someone with as immature a system of psychological defenses as mine. People who've experienced trauma— especially those of us with maladaptive personalities, people who don't know better but to make compulsively bad choices, and who exhibit anti-social behaviors and clinging false beliefs, much of which is a consequence of our traumas— have a hard time asking for help. When we do, we are viewed unsympathetically by a society already unwilling to be burdened by the truth of our experiences. For a survivor of trauma, you might say this struggle is a lifetime achievement. Just being alive is the reward.
Trauma prevents a person from forming a fundamental belief in one's own goodness, and a basic sense of trust. According to Judith Herman, author of Trauma and Recovery, a victim of trauma develops "a sense of alienation, of disconnection [that] pervades every relationship, from the most intimate familial bonds to the most abstract affiliations of community and religion." Thanks to recovery, I feel this way less often. When I do feel it, it's less acute. Experts say these feelings never entirely go away.
These feelings never go away, but people can and do recovery. Like a struggle with addiction, we learn to take it one day at a time. Recovery relies on a survivor restoring our connection to our community, which begins by telling our truth. When private issues are acknowledged publicly, and dealt with as public concerns, we have an opportunity to see how personal experiences are, oftentimes, indicative of systemic abuses. Herman argues how experiences of rape and combat, for example, are paradigmatic forms of trauma for women and men, respectively— complementary social rites of initiation into the coercive violence at the foundation of adult society.
"It is very tempting to take the side of the perpetrator, says Herman, "All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear, and speak no evil. The victim, on the contrary, asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering."
Being triggered sucks. It's embarrassing to admit it. To label myself a victim feels like I'm asking for pity. It feels like I'm inviting criticism— and, the sad truth is that I am. No one wants to hear about the bad stuff. That's the message I've gotten all my life, and one of the greatest challenges of being a survivor. We learn to keep it to ourselves. And then we learn this doesn't work— not for the individual, and not for the greater good.

But while this has ensured an overwhelming majority of Green preferences will flow to Labor, it also seems to have made the Premier even more appealing to women with a greenish tinge.
Labor, meanwhile, is delighted with the overall popularity of its leader's personality and appearance with many party members privately referring to the significance of the sexy X-factor of a good-looking man.
The impact this has had on many women who would otherwise be likely to vote Green is a remarkable turnaround.
Men like him too, of course, but just not as much.
The Greens' electoral analyst, Stephen Luntz, said he would be surprised if the traditionally higher percentage of women supporters was overturned tomorrow but said he could not rule it out. Greens have not done any polling themselves since the campaign started.
According to Mr Luntz, the pattern across all states and nationally over the past several years is that about 55-60 per cent of the Green vote comes from women. Public polling has shown the party in Victoria attracts between a low of seven and a high of 12 per cent statewide, with Mr Luntz estimating it to be around 9 per cent.
The Greens are still confident of winning one or two inner Melbourne seats.

Second Sunday of Easter
from the book
Children's Sermons A To Z
Brett Blair
Tim Carpenter
John 20:19-31 — Revelation 1:4-8
Click here for more details.
Exegetical Aim: Thomas' transition from doubt to faith concerning the resurrection of Jesus.
Props: A talent that will come as a surprise to the children; e.g., being able to juggle. You must be able to perform the talent before the children. If you use the object it needs to be hidden until revealed. A unique object could be used rather than a talent.
Lesson: Good morning. (response) I have a talent that none of you know about. Do you want to know what my talent is? (response) I don't think you are going to believe me, but I can juggle. (response) As you say "juggle," show them the balls and drop them into the crowd of children. This will create doubt in the minds of the children. What? You don't think I can juggle? (response) I can see that some of you doubt I can do it. Well, I've brought these three tennis balls and I am going to prove to you ...
This Children's Sermon titled 'I Doubt It!' is based on John 20:19-31. This Children's Sermon is excerpted from the book ''.

How Much Should "Connection" Factor Into Getting Married?
This is a tough question. It's especially tough because many of us have been trained by our culture–romance novels, movies, songs–to think of "connection" as a mystical force. It's unstoppable. It's uncontainable. You either have it or you don't. I just wrote a piece for Boundless called "Irresistible Taste: The 5 Points of Attraction." In this [Read More…]

In a recent newsletter we introduced the concept of Application Delivery 2.0, a major component of which is cloud computing. As noted in one of Jim's recent reports on cloud computing, the goal of cloud computing is a significant improvement in the cost effective, elastic provisioning of IT services. We will use this newsletter to discuss the impact that achieving that goal will have on the WAN.
Welcome to Application Delivery 2.0
When the phrase cloud computing is used, many people think about using a WAN to access IT resources from a third party, such as Amazon, Google or Salesforce.com. In this newsletter we will refer to that approach to cloud computing as public cloud computing and the third parties that provide these services as cloud computing service providers. We will also refer to movement on the part of IT organizations to implement inside of their company the same techniques that cloud computing service providers implement, as being private cloud computing.
Two of the primary characteristics of private cloud computing are the consolidation of servers into centralized data centers and the virtualization of those servers. In recent newsletters we have discussed the current and expected deployment of virtualized servers. In particular, our research indicates that the vast majority of IT organizations have already consolidated at least some servers out of branch offices. That research also indicates that only around 40% of IT organizations have consolidated the majority of servers into centralized data centers and that percentage will increase slightly over the next year.
Because of the consolidation and virtualization of servers, the deployment of private cloud computing results in additional application traffic transiting the WAN. In an analogous fashion, a key component of public cloud computing is that IT organizations will access IT resources such as applications and storage from one or more third parties. Hence, as IT organizations increase their adoption of both private and public cloud computing solutions, this means that the wide area network will be involved in an increasing percentage of instances when users access applications and storage. This increased use of the WAN creates additional security vulnerabilities that adds to the value of having a WAN optimization controller that tightly integrates with security functionality. Accessing storage resources over the WAN will increase the need for IT organizations to implement functionality that optimizes the transfer of large blocks of storage.
In our next newsletter we will discuss the challenges of supporting cloud computing over a WAN and how IT organizations intend to respond to those challenges. More insight into the changes we expect to see in 2010 can be found in Jim's recent report on cloud computing.

On the Town
Granted I may be a bit slow on the uptake, but it finally hit me how drastically the Internet is changing the newspaper business.
And I'm not just talking about all that information out there in cyberspace, instantly available to anyone who knows how to punch in a key word or two.
No, dear friends, what I'm talking about are blogs - which, for the benefit of those similarly challenged, are Internet newsletters, usually updated regularly by their author, and expressing a point of view, stable or otherwise.
Why, now that you mention it, sort of like a newspaper column.
Except that blogs have a place for readers to respond with their own take on whatever the blogger has just written. And when they're done, for someone else to respond to what they said.
And before you know it - usually after about three or four comments - the whole thing degenerates into a name-calling contest on a subject that probably has very little to do with what the blogger originally set out to discuss.
It is, of course, tremendously exciting - sort of like a triple tag-team match in the old World Wrestling Federation - and there's really no way those of us in the dead tree publishing industry (to use the blogger's snide expression) can hope to compete.
Except, of course, by putting out an online edition and allowing readers to leave comments at the end of stories - which, as you may have noticed, the Trib has been doing for about four months now.
So why, you might ask, did it just now dawn on me that the journalistic world has been turned ass over teacup?
Well, it probably had something to do with last Tuesday's column about all the costly - and still unpaid for - construction projects going on in Portland these days.
Or to be more precise, with some of the more personal responses to it.
Now I don't mind being called names. It comes with the territory.
But the difference has always been that when I've made a fool of myself, I've always had my name on it. If someone wants to question my sanity or challenge me to a duel at 10 paces, they always know who I am and where to find me.
But what gets me about the brave new world of blogs (and electronic reader boards) is that the comments generally are anonymous.
Not only are readers able to make personal cracks they probably wouldn't have the guts to make if they signed their real names, but they're able to hide institutional connections as well.
For example, an anonymous commenter on that Tuesday column obviously was conversant with Portland Development Commission policies. Kind of makes you wonder.
Not too long ago, Jack Bogdanski, probably the town's premier blogger, learned that one of his more persistent critics on city personnel issues actually was a computer specialist at the Fire Bureau.
As it turns out, each comment transmission has an Internet routing address that can be traced.
Unless, of course, the person who sends the annoying comments - like the one who responded not just to my column but to another story in the same edition also critical of city policies - knows how to hide his IP address.
And if that's the case, I wonder what he's trying to hide?

NZO went into trading halts on both the NZ and Australian stock exchanges on Monday before announcing the receivership.
NZO owns 29.4 per cent of Pike River, whose shares have been suspended since a gas explosion killed 29 miners at the company's mine on the West Coast of NZ's South Island on Friday, November 19.
Since then, there have been three further explosions at the mine, which have prevented recovery of the miner's bodies.
NZO is a major creditor to Pike River Coal.
NZO said it would make a further announcement when receivers have been appointed to Pike River Coal, which may be later on Monday.

In the Air Force, mission is the number one priority; you don't ask why and you don't complain, according to Staff Sergeant Sara Harbaugh, 24. When Sara completed her 6 years of service, she applied that mindset to her post-military job search and accomplished her mission. With support of the IT Training and Certification Program, she pursued her Cisco CCNA certification, the credential she needed to prove her expertise to employers.
Sara spent 6 years in the U.S. Air Force, first in radio maintenance and then providing basic system administration on the Air Force's high frequency global communications system. Sara had worked with Cisco networking equipment for 6 years, but she learned all her skills on the job. "There are a lot of fundamentals that get missed," she said. "No one was formally trained. We learned from doing it every day. I had a good fundamental understanding of IP and networking in general."
When Sara began applying for jobs, she realized that she was overqualified for radio maintenance jobs, but lacked the credentials for more advanced, higher-paying IT positions. "To say what you did in the military is very challenging," she said. "Because we don't have the formal education or degree, [potential employers] see us as entry level, even though we've been doing the job for years."
Sara learned about the IT Training and Certification Program as she was preparing to separate from the Air Force. Launched in April 2013 as part of the Obama Administration's commitment to help military personnel transition to civilian employment, the program is fast tracking 1000 military personnel with IT experience to in-demand jobs by providing free and reduced-cost access to IT training and certification exams and career matching opportunities.
Once she completed her online profile, a program manager helped Sara identify and enroll in the IT courses that she needed to prepare for the Cisco CCNA exam and pursue her dream job. "They gave us guidance, a track to follow and the funding," she said. "Without it, I would not have been able to pursue my ultimate goal."
Sara found the fast-paced Global Knowledge courses to be a source of professional networking as well as technical experience. "I went to courses on site and networked with people with different backgrounds and experiences," she said. "One class I took, everyone was from an electrical company and told me about how utilities work. I took another class with all types of people with different careers."
The CCNA certification gave Sara the leverage she needed to obtain the salary she required. Before her certification: "I did a phone interview for another job and the woman asked about my salary. When I told her what I felt my experience was worth, she said 'there's no way I can give you that salary because you don't have a 4-year degree.'" With her CCNA credential, she stood out from other applicants for a civilian Air Force job and became director of training for a $235 million radio system with a Cisco networking backbone. "Having that CCNA certification got me the job. That's what they looked at." And she has the salary she demanded.
While many of her peers (military and non-military) remain unemployed, underemployed, or in temporary contract positions, Sara accomplished her mission of obtaining a full-time, secure position with the Air Force. She plans to complete her bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and remove that roadblock to future jobs.
"It was such an awesome program and so beneficial," she said. "There were no restrictions. They were willing to give you what you wanted. They worked their hearts off to get you in those classes and help you succeed and transition more easily."
The US IT Pipeline supports transitioning military personnel and the employers searching for their talents. Both job seekers and employers post their information for free, and have the opportunity to participate in hiring events to streamline the interview process. For those who need additional training for certification, Cisco Networking Academy courses are available on and near many military bases.

She's known for her pipes and he's made a living thanks to his abs, and when Beyoncé Knowles takes on Channing Tatum in Spike TV's "Lip Sync Battle," the world will see who's got the best fake singing chops.
The popular television program has been a huge hit since its debut in April and has already welcomed top names like Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Terrence Howard and Taraji P Henson.
It's not every day that a woman turns thirty, so when Russell Wilson set out to surprise his lady Ciara on her big day, he brought in some serious star power.
The Seattle Seahawks stud arranged for a Batman/Catwoman shindig to be held on Saturday (October 24) at the Warner Brothers lot in Los Angeles.
Never one to disappoint her fans, Beyoncé Knowles showed up at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York last night (October 20) with a daring ensemble for the Tidal X event.
The 34-year-old "Bootylicious" babe almost fell out of her maroon dress as she posed up a storm for the paparazzi while flashing all kinds of cleavage.
Showing off her patriotic side, Beyoncé Knowles is featured on the front page of Beat magazine against the backdrop of the American flag.
Photographed by Ryan McGinley on location in the Hamptons, the "Crazy in Love" songstress wears a red and white striped one-piece swimsuit as she gazes at the camera.
Kicking off the weekend with a brand new jam, Beyoncé just released her latest track "Runnin (Lose It All)" and it's yet another massive hit.
The "Bootylicious" babe worked with producer Naughty Boy and Arrow Benjamin, who doesn't actually come in until after the two-minute mark.
No stranger to risqué photography, Beyonce Knowles is the center of attention in her racy cover story for the new issue of Flaunt magazine.
Under the watchful lens of Robin Harper, the "Crazy in Love" lady ditches her top and poses in the water, showing off her ample curves with a side order of attitude.
She's clearly the biggest entertainer in the world these days, and Taylor Swift shows no signs of slowing down. So it's no surprise she tops the newly-released "Powers That Be" list from Vanity Fair.
Putting another year of craziness in the history books, the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards took over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night (August 30).

By their capillary action they drain the lymph to a healthy region above, and thus enable it to enter the circulation.
What evidence of capillary action have you seen outside of the laboratory?
The fused borax works its way in by capillary action, and the spelter follows.
This it does by capillary action, as the mercury spreads over the entire surface of the zinc.
The sponge becomes saturated with water because of the capillary action of the carborundum upon the water.
A deep and absorptive subsoil returns water to the surface, by capillary action, as it is needed.
We have now described the principal forms of the theory of capillary action during its earlier development.
By this simple contrivance the capillary action can be stopped or renewed in a second, without removing the top of the lubricator.
The oil is fed to the brush by the capillary action of the streamers.
Special effects of this force are classified as (a) capillary action, and (b) surface tension.
1806, from French capillarité, from Latin capillaris (see capillary).
capillarity cap·il·lar·i·ty (kāp'ə-lār'ĭ-tē)
The interaction between contacting surfaces of a liquid and a solid that distorts the liquid surface from a planar shape.
|capillary action
The movement of a liquid along the surface of a solid caused by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid.
Our Living Language : The paper towel industry owes its existence to capillary action, both for the way paper towels soak up liquids and for the trees out of which the towels are made. Molecules of water are naturally attracted to each other and form temporary hydrogen bonds with each other; their attraction for each other on the surface of a liquid, for example, gives rise to surface tension. But they are also attracted in a similar way to other molecules, called hydrophilic molecules, such as those in the sides of a narrow glass tube inserted into a cup of water, in the fibers of a towel, or in the cells of tree tissue known as xylem. These attractive forces can draw water upward against the force of gravity to a certain degree. However, they are not strong enough to draw water from the roots of a tree to its highest leaves. An additional, related force, referred to as transpiration pull, is required to do that. As water evaporates from the tiny pores, or stomata, of leaves, water from adjacent cells is drawn in to replace it by osmosis. Again, intermolecular attractive forces cause other water molecules to follow along, ultimately drawing water up from the roots of the tree.

Re: st: Time-series operators and -outreg-

Re: st: Time-series operators and -outreg-
Thu, 2 May 2013 16:37:40 -0700
I understand that it would be convenient for you if I translated the -l.-, -d.-, -f.-, and -s.- operators into English when choosing the -varlabels- option in -outreg- IF I translated them into exactly the phrases that you had in mind.
My experience creating successive versions of -outreg- is that when I format all the elements of the table in exactly the way I like them, it is often different from how other people like them. My reaction has been to format everything that people are likely to agree upon, and provide the flexibility for users to customize everything when they do not like my choices.
Converting all the time series varlist operators (or all the factor variable operators) into some form of English would take a lot of programming work (even if it is pretty easy conceptually) because I would need to cover all the possible combinations. This includes operators like "ld2ls12d.gnp" as well as "l(1/4).gnp". I am reluctant to do this work because I am not convinced most people would be satisfied with the phrases I come up with, and in fact it is rather easy for users to tweak the variable labels on their own, in the ways I suggested in a previous reply.

Today mark's the 16th anniversary of the death of Tupac Shakur.
It's been nearly two decades since his tragic passing, but the legendary actor and emcee still lives on through his ideas and incomparable body of work.
"After his death, Tupac's legacy lives, particularly with the eight posthumous albums that have been released, including a double-disc greatest hits collection. He has been immortalized in film, books and even college courses, as well as through the works of musicians who have come after him. Traces of 'Pac can be found in nearly almost every rapper from 50 Cent to T.I. Jay-Z, Eminem, Fabolous and Cam'ron have all sampled from Shakur, and non-rap artists like Justin Bieber have claimed to be fans.

A Rio Grande man was arrested on charges of purse snatching, pretending to be a police officer, attempted robbery and robbing an off-duty officer all in the past week.
Police announced the arrest of Gregory J. Anthony, 18, for three different incidents Thursday.
Anthony is charged with robbery, conspiracy and theft, impersonating a police officer, and possession of stolen property.
Police made the arrest Thursday after connecting Anthony to the incidents. On Jan. 2 he and Benjamin Torres 18, of Del Haven, allegedly snatched a purse from a customer at the Rio Grande ShopRite. They ran away and the purse was recovered, police allege.
Also on Jan. 2, police said an off-duty officer's vehicle was broken into in Rio Grande and several items were stolen including a police hat badge, rain coat, and bag.
That night police responded to Ocean Isle Tans for a report of a man in a police uniform who tried to take money from the cash register.
Anthony was transported to Cape May County jail on $25,000 bail.

In an effort to illustrate how the seemingly simple culinary traditions of rural South Louisiana and the women behind the stoves promote cultural preservation, Nicole Denee Fontenot spent two years interviewing Cajun women who grew up in the first half of the 20th century. She now presents her research in COOKING WITH CAJUN WOMEN: RECIPES AND REMEMBRANCES FROM SOUTH LOUISIANA KITCHENS, a cookbook featuring more than 300 recipes and as many anecdotes of times when everything (except coffee, sugar, and flour) was homemade.
These matriarchs shared traditional recipes now made with modern and simple ingredients that reflect the constantly changing influences on Cajun culture, especially as communities became more Americanized. COOKING WITH CAJUN WOMEN present classic Cajun dishes like Maque Choux Corn, Crawfish Etouffee, Seafood Gumbo, Fig Cake, and Pecan Pralines, along with unusual creations and other staple fares. An in-depth essay, "Twentieth-Century Cajun Women, Agents of Cultural Preservation," as well as answers to typical questions by non-Cajuns and an extensive resource guide complete this remarkable contribution to the perpetuation of the Cajuns? heritage and history.

Israel shoots down drone
JERUSALEM — Israel said on Thursday it shot down an unmanned aircraft that had entered Israeli air space off the northern coast near Haifa, the second such incident in nearly seven months.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman, said the drone was first detected as it was flying along the coast of Lebanon toward Israel. When it became clear that the aircraft was not going to stop or change course, Israel dispatched helicopters and F-16 warplanes to destroy it about five miles off the coast as it was flying at an altitude of about 6,000 feet.
A naval search for the downed aircraft was under way.
Military officials said they suspect the drone was sent by Hezbollah. The Lebanese militant group issued a brief statement on its television station, Al-Manar, denying any role in the flight.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose helicopter happened to be flying in northern Israel at the time of the incident and was temporarily grounded as a precaution, said he viewed the attempted border breach with "utmost gravity."
Both Israel and Lebanon use drones equipped with cameras to spy on one another.
Israel shot down a drone over the Negev desert in October. At the time, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah acknowledged responsibility for sending the unarmed aircraft, which he said had exposed weaknesses in Israel's air defense system because it was not shot until reaching land.
Hezbollah, with assistance from Iran, has been developing drones for years to spy on Israel or use in potential attacks. Its first drones were flown and shot down during the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and the militant group.
Hezbollah maintains it is responding to Israeli jets and drones that routinely fly over Lebanon to conduct mock attacks and surveillance.
Israeli officials vowed to retaliate for the incident. It occurs at an increasingly tense time in the region amid a 2-year-old uprising in neighboring Syria

Obama's Supreme Court Choice: Plenty of Talent—and an Opportunity
A half dozen extraordinary women occupy the White House list of candidates to replace Justice Stevens on the Supreme Court, according to reports. The author argues that President Obama should seize this chance to make a historic step toward true diversity at the top of the judiciary system. More »
Make Room on the Bench
U.S. law schools now graduate as many women as men, and women are nearly half of all law firm associates. But representation in the judiciary branch is far from equal, a recent study shows. More »

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Dear Dr. Keane,(live chat) Can we talk about more next steps please? I have been thinking a little more about other things. I'd also like to chat about habits and how I think I've sorted something and then realise that perhaps I haven't as much as I thought I had. Also I've felt a little out of sorts today and I'm not sure whether it's the fact I may be coming down with something as there's a lot of different bugs in the air right now, none of which normally effects me but may have a mild dose of something (not normally anxiety or low mood inducing though) or the fluoxitine, of which I have now just finished this month's quota (couple of days ago, was fine but today I don't think I am), or if there's been overthinking. I'm sorry for posting again this week. I know I'm probably not being fair on you and was going to try to wait until next week to ask anything again and I feel bad about that because I really don't want to be a nuisance. If we can chat I'd appreciate it. I hope I haven't done anything to annoy you here. For some reason today isn't a very good day in terms of how I'm feeling and would like a quick chat if possible. Oh and I'm impressed that you remember past posts. I do too (even without looking at them, although I do look occassionally as I said, just to help me feel better), and remember all that you say. I'll try again later.
It sounds like you are just having a bad day and you know that's okay, everyone has days where their moods are down and if you are getting sick that can just contribute to the way you feel. It is probably best to post what you want to chat so I can respond if we don't manage to be online at the same time.
so sorry that I missed you again.
yes I have been having quite a bad day as I've felt really out of sorts and had quite a few negative thoughts.
wanted to chat about habits and how hard some of them are to break such as I hadn't really thought about it at the time but during the absolute worst times of the writers group I started to comfort eat again. I thought I'd cracked it, had it totally sorted. I mean, it was okay for a long time and when I was getting "got at" or anything I could walk away and decide that I didn't care. It was just through the really tough times. I know I should have dealt with it all better and I am sure that with all the tools I could have done instead of doing that and feeling bad about myself......I am however pleased for actually standing up for myself and also for the way that I resigned and with no regrets.
I am sorry that I didn't think of just posting what I wanted to chat about. It's not been a good day and I am just hoping that I won't feel so low come tomorrow.
Did I annoy you by missing you in chat?It's just with what you said and well, you don't normally. I didn't mean to miss you in chat though, something suddenly came up that couldn't be avoided. Sometimes I think I have time to myself but it doesn't always work out that way...Anyway, I am sorry.
I should add regarding the comfort eating part that I do know it's just not right and I know how to eat healthily. I think it may be better than what it was but now should lose a little weight again. I feel really bad about that and the negative thoughts I had, especially yesterday. I think it's just to do with the low mood......Please do tell me if I've annoyed you though.
I am sorry again for yesterday, my post could have and should have been better.
I am trying to make myself feel more positive today and now realise that I am indeed getting sick but it'll pass some time soon I expect.
I will try to make my posts better in the future.
I am sorry that yesterday I probably read your post totally wrong as well......I do hope that you have a very nice weekend!
I hope you are feeling better today. I have to say your post confused me a bit since I did not understand why you are apologizing, there is no need to do that. I wanted you to talk about what is bothering you and what you wanted to chat about since we are not online at the same time very often. It seems you may be upset with yourself for "comfort eating" and falling back on old behaviors (such as beating yourself up). As I said in my last post we all have days or even weeks like this. You know you'll eat better when you feel better. Give yourself permission to get off track once in awhile. You'll feel better soon (hopefully) and know there isn't anything wrong with comfort food now and then. It isn't one way or the other, it's a balance between the two.

Mining Publication: The NIOSH Shield Hydraulics Inspection and Evaluation of Leg Data (Shield) Computer Program
Original creation date: August 2002
Longwall shields provide essential ground control in longwall mining. However, a high percentage of shields are operating at less than peak capacity and many at well below the rated support capacity due to defective hydraulic cylinders or malfunctions in other hydraulic components. Leg pressure data are currently collected on state-of-the-art longwall shields, but typically are not analyzed to evaluate shield performance. The NIOSH Shield Hydraulics Inspection and Evaluation of Leg Data (SHIELD) program is a Visual Basic software system designed to analyze leg pressure data and identify shields that are not performing to rated specifications. The program analysis is configured to detect the following conditions: (1) loss of leg pressure, (2) imbalance in leg pressure, (3) low set pressure, (4) low yield pressure, and (5) full extension of the bottom stage. Other performance assessment measures include the percentage of the support capacity used (ratio of peak load to yield load), the percent of time that a shield operates at yield load, the ratio of set load to yield load, and the amount of support capacity that is lost due to leaking cylinders. Historical record-keeping will allow the user to select a particular shield and review the performance record as developed by the program for that shield. In addition to these performance assessment measures, the software will include an animated description of shield hydraulic systems that will describe the operation and significance of each hydraulic component and the impact of component failures on the shield's capability to provide the required roof support. This paper gives a general overview of the SHIELD program, along with a sample analysis of a 2.5-year-old Australian longwall face.

Marois serene as Charest rallies the troops on Quebec election day
Les Perreaux, Rhéal Séguin and Daniel Leblanc
As she prepared to cast her vote in the Quebec provincial election Tuesday morning, Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois said she had waited a long time for this moment.
"It would be the first time Quebeckers chose a woman to lead Quebec," Ms. Marois said. "I've been preparing for this moment for 30 years."More »

Wife of Charest opponent apologizes after crude beheading drawing posted to Facebook
Les Perreaux
If the caricature of Jean Charest being guillotined by a ballot was meant as a joke, the Liberal Leader isn't taking it that way.
Mariette Fugère, the wife of Mr. Charest's Parti Québécois opponent in Sherbrooke, and the president of a nearby riding association, posted the crude drawing of Mr. Charest about to be beheaded, with the caption: "End of reign," to her Facebook page.More »

High-profile PQ candidate steals Legault's thunder at speech
Daniel Leblanc and Rhéal Séguin
A prominent Parti Québécois candidate has hijacked a speech by Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault to east-end Montreal businessmen, highlighting the growing ground fight between the two leading parties in the Quebec election.
Mr. Legault addressed the East Montreal Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning, only to find that PQ candidate and high-profile strategist Jean-François Lisée had bought a ticket and was in the room.More »

François Legault is calling on Quebeckers to give him a majority on Sept. 4, saying it's the only way to get rid of the province's "old parties" and start defying the status quo.
The leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec, however, acknowledged that he faces an uphill battle in winning over a cynical electorate that has soured on the political class.More »

PQ stance on referendums has left Marois in a predicament
Rhéal Séguin
It was only a matter of time before the referendum controversy that has dogged the Parti Québécois in recent months would force itself into Quebec's election campaign. Now, confusion over PQ Leader Pauline Marois's position on the controversial issue has placed her in quite a predicament.
The PQ hasn't had a clear referendum strategy to achieve sovereignty since Jacques Parizeau was party leader. In the 1994 election he promised that if elected, he would hold a referendum "eight to ten months" after taking power. The Bloc Québécois leader at the time Lucien Bouchard tried repeatedly to stop Mr. Parizeau, but the best he could do was to delay the holding of the referendum by a couple of months.More »

Why dead caribou matter in Quebec politics
Tu Thanh Ha
In Quebec politics, it matters whether you're a caribou or a kangaroo.
This came up again on Wednesday night, in a key moment in the final televised debate of the Quebec election campaign, pitting François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Québec against Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois.
Mr. Legault, a former PQ member, criticized Ms. Marois as being beholden to radical elements in the separatist movement.More »

New poll finds CAQ catching up with Quebec Liberals
Campbell Clark
No need to guess why Quebec Liberal Leader Jean Charest has aggressively turned his guns against François Legault, leader of the new Coalition Avenir Québec. A new poll shows Mr. Legault's party is eating into the Liberal vote. And Quebeckers now rate Mr. Legault as the best candidate for premier.
The poll, conducted by CROP for La Presse between Sunday and Tuesday, shows the Parti Québécois's Pauline Marois has widened her lead over Mr. Charest's Liberals. And the CAQ is catching up.More »

Charest aims to boost youth competitiveness
Campbell Clark
You'd think Jean Charest would steer clear of measures to force teens to work after he blasted the CAQ's François Legault for suggesting Quebec youths don't work as hard in school as Asian kids do. But no.
Today, Mr. Charest, at a campaign stop in Sherbrooke, promised to require that all Quebec high-school students do 10 hours of volunteer work before they can pass a mandatory class. It's the first time Quebec students will be required to do community work, though students in neighbouring Ontario and some other provinces already do it.More »

It only took a pair of protestors to knock Jean Charest's planned photo-op off course this morning.
The Quebec Liberal Leader's staff had convened journalists to a photo session with his Quebec City MNAs on a street corner just behind the National Assembly. But two demonstrators – a woman and a teenage boy unfurled a large red square, the symbol of Quebec's student protests. "Mr. Charest," the woman called loudly. "Yoo hoo, Mr. Charest."More »

PQ's Marois attacks 'useless' Harper institutions, royalty
Rhéal Seguin
The Queen may be celebrating the 60th year of her reign, but that isn't going to make Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois any more polite towards Her Majesty.
With the Quebec election campaign in full swing, the royal family has become for the PQ a symbol of the federal Conservative government's efforts to impose the Crown on Quebec as part of its identity, an initiative decried by sovereigntists.More »

Parti Québécois thinks another sweep of Gaspé ridings within grasp
Rhéal Séguin
Not since 1994 has the Parti Québécois swept the Gaspé region ridings of Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Gaspé and Bonaventure. But as Pauline Marois swung through the region, capping a first week of campaigning, the PQ's confidence in repeating the exploit of 18 years ago was palpable.
One reason is that the riding boundaries have been altered and many voters are dissatisfied with the changes. The PQ has also recruited candidates with local stature and strong ties to their communities.More »

Quebec Liberal Leader Jean Charest is calling on staunch federalists such as the province's anglophones to reject the urge to stay at home on Sept. 4 to express their disenchantment with his government.

Duchesneau's comments cast doubt on his teamwork skills
Daniel Leblanc
Less than one day into the ring, Jacques Duchesneau has already showcased his larger-than-life personality and sparked further doubts about his ability to be a team player in the world of politics.
Speaking to a Montreal radio station, the ex-cop said he would be the "conductor" – the "chef d'orchestre" – of the Coalition Avenir Québec's anti-corruption effort. In particular, Mr. Duchesneau said he would oversee a number of departments in Quebec City that are part of the fight against corruption, such as municipal affairs, natural resources, transport and public safety, including appointing ministers.More »

Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois released her party's provincial election platform Sunday, promising sovereignty for Quebeckers but refusing to explain how and when she intends to achieve her "dream."

Daniel Leblanc
The brightest and smartest minds of the Quebec Liberal Party likely spent dozens of hours coming up with slogans for this election campaign.
The result of all of their work were three simple words: "Pour le Québec." It's even shorter once translated into English – "For Quebec" – and now adorns all of the party's election signs spread out throughout the province. The goal is to present all Liberal candidates are being ready to work "for Quebec" and of favouring policies "for Quebec."More »

Kate Moss Spends Another Best-Dressed Evening on the Town
Kate Moss broke out what seems to be her new favorite fur last night to join friends at the Dorchester Hotel. She spent the evening with pals after a busy morning of shopping around the city as she prepares for her daughter, Lila, turning 8 tomorrow. Kate has had a particularly fashion-filled past month, making the social rounds celebrating her new Longchamp collection and kicking off LFW at an artsy party. Her style recently earned her another accolade, as she was just ranked as the sixth best-dressed British woman by Glamour UK.

PARKING changes in Dorchester will see overnight and Sunday charges at The Grove removed.
A new all-day charge of £4 will also be introduced in the road to try and make it more attractive for long stays.
The existing tariffs of 40p for up to half an hour, 60p for one hour, £1 for up to two hours and £2 for up to three hours will remain in place.
The changes are being introduced by Dorset County Council after few motorists used The Grove as a short-stay parking option while the Top o'Town car park, which offers all-day parking, is often full.
Project director for the Dorchester BID (Business Improvement District) Phil Gordon welcomed the move.
He said: "This is great news as the Dorchester BID and the Chamber of Commerce suggested this quite some time ago. We're very pleased to hear it has now come to fruition."
