Six-state protocol offers advantages for quantum cryptography
E. Kloeppel, Physical Sciences Editor

CHAMPAIGN, Ill.
As telecommunications and information systems become commonplace in society,
a more secure means of encrypting and transmitting data is required. Underlying
nearly all forms of encryption is the necessity for a truly secret key, which
can be distributed without the threat of an undetected eavesdropper. Several
protocols have demonstrated the potential effectiveness of quantum cryptography
in meeting this need.
Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Los Alamos National Laboratory have implemented a six-state protocol using polarization-entangled photons that could enhance the versatility of quantum cryptography.
Quantum cryptography uses quantum states of photons to transfer cryptographic key material. In a typical protocol, the sender "Alice" uses single photons (or entangled photons) to transmit secret random bits to the receiver "Bob." Alice encodes each random bit value using one of several polarization states. Bob randomly measures each photons polarization and records the results. Then, by conventional communications, Alice and Bob reveal their basis choice for each bit, and sift out the set for which they used the same basis. If an eavesdropper were present, detectable errors would be introduced into the key.
"Although the six-state protocol can make an eavesdropper substantially more visible, the protocol is technically harder to perform, and more data is lost," said Paul Kwiat, the John Bardeen Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics at Illinois. "Despite these drawbacks, the new protocol could prove useful in certain applications."
To investigate the six-state protocol, Kwiat and his Los Alamos colleagues Daphna Enzer (now at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory), Phillip Hadley, Richard Hughes and Charles Peterson created pairs of polarization-entangled photons by passing a laser pulse through two adjacent nonlinear crystals.
The photons were directed to Alice and Bob, who analyzed them in one of three randomly chosen bases: horizontal or vertical, diagonal or anti-diagonal, and right or left circularly polarized. Whenever Alice and Bob chose the same basis, they obtained correlated results, which comprised their sifted cryptographic key material. The researchers also simulated the effects of different eavesdropping strategies.
"While the six-state protocol has enhanced eavesdropper sensitivity, it significantly reduces the number of key-producing events," Kwiat said. "For systems with low error rates less than about 8 percent the efficiency for secret key generation is higher when using a simpler protocol. However, as the error rate increases, the six-state protocol becomes beneficial.
While the six-state protocol is currently most useful for systems that have a lot of noise or high error rates, that will change when quantum storage devices become operational.
"With a quantum memory, Bob would store the photon until he hears from Alice how he should measure it," Kwiat said. "In that case, the six-state protocol would always yield a greater number of useful bits, and an eavesdropper would also be much easier to spot."
Entangled photons offer several advantages over single-photon techniques, Kwiat said. "Reliable single-photon sources dont exist yet, so you have to send a faint, attenuated pulse instead. An eavesdropper could pick off part of the pulse and go undetected."
With their enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, entangled photons should permit secure key distribution over longer distances particularly in fiber-based systems, which have significant attenuation and noisy detectors.
Entangled photons also allow automatic source verification, Kwiat said. "Any tampering of the source would be readily detected, which is not always the case with single-photon sources."
The researchers report their findings in the New Journal of Physics, a peer-reviewed, all-electronic journal published by the Institute of Physics. The issue devoted to quantum cryptography with Kwiat as guest editor will be available July 12.

In my own defense, I will just restate that the only reason I have
even considered this is that the seven lists under my control are
all gatewayed to Usenet newsgroups. Since AOL subscribers have
access to Usenet, they would not be disenfranchised by this
change. (In fact, the lists were originally created only so that
people without Usenet access would still be able to read them, so
this would even be in keeping with the list charter.)
The idea is not to punish AOL users for being Bad People. It is
to make the listowner's job manageable. Between the seven lists I
maintain, each with three formats (index, mail and digest), I have
4620 subscribers, of which 852 are AOL users. With around 60
messages a day being sent to *each* list, that's quite a large
daily volume of mail to AOL users. Thus, even if only a fraction
of those 852 AOL addresses go bad, it produces a lot of work for
me, and means less time for me to improve the lists for the other
3800 subscribers. It seems like a lose-lose situation for me,
AOL, and all of the subscribers.
So I hope you see that I am not morally opposed to the use of AOL,
even if I used to be. It simply appears to me that AOL
subscribers are both unnecessary (since they have Usenet access to
these lists) and actually detrimental to other subscribers, in my
particular case.

Pakatan hard at work, BN busy spinning
VOXPOP 'Poor LGE, after four years, he still doesn't know how to get rich through corrupt practices. What will happen to you when you quit politics?'
'Penang to eradicate poverty by next year'
Wira: Unfortunately, the Penang budget is small because the state's area of responsibility under the federal constitution is so little. So there is just that little that Lim Guan Eng (LGE) can do.
If Pakatan Rakyat runs Putrajaya after the next general election and with a budget 350 times larger, we can surely expect a lot more - that is, if BN had not cleared out the coffers, leaving us with only debts.
Malaysian First & Last: That's the difference between a hands-on chief minister and an impressively-suited prime minister who does not know where the numbers come from.
I respect a CM who is prepared to get his hands dirty, rather than the PM who throws impressive slogans around and then does otherwise.
Keep it up, at least you tried your best to improve the life of the rakyat and that of the country.
20121221Disaster: Pakatan is working hard, whereas Umno Baru-BN is spinning hard!
Stories: I laud the efforts of Penang to eradicate poverty. However, my concern is that the figure does not factor in the number of dependants (eg, handicapped family members, still schooling children, dependents with medical needs, etc).
It is a good step forward for now, but do continue to raise the benchmark for poverty continuously to keep up with the standard of living.
ACR: At the outset, poverty cannot be eliminated overnight. As LGE mentioned, the state will ensure that no household earns less than RM770 per month.
Anything lower would be topped up. Hence, this is a long-term initiative and not akin to Najib throwing RM500 one-off.
But Telok Bahang assemblyperson Hilmi Yahya of Umno thinks having projects and programmes will alone eradicate poverty. Umno's track record in project management and developmental work is dreadful and it is best that Hilmi bury that idea of his somewhere.
Lamborghini: LGE, just continue to work hard and the rakyat will be with you all the way. You are a good model of what a responsible, diligent and caring leader should be.
You are such a breath of fresh air from the big talk, small mindedness, insensitive actions and the arrogant attitude shown by so many of the BN politicians and/or ministers.
May you and the other Pakatan leaders set an example, and mentor and train more responsible and hardworking leaders who truly work for the benefit of the rakyat.
Kerana Benar: YAB Lim, that's the way forward. Whatever name you are being labelled, ie arrogant, tokong, etc, is not important. What's most important is that you serve the rakyat well, especially the poor.
But don't get too carried away by the support you get. It's always good to be humble.
GE 13: Poor LGE, after four years, he still doesn't know how to get rich through corrupt practices. What will happen to you when you quit politics?
Najib the Delayer's Roman strategy
KiaSi-SiamSai: Writer Yin Shao Loong, you have come up with the assumption that BN has the brains to do this but I beg to differ. They don't have a clue what they are doing.
The people at large have been waiting for the last three years for the general election, and another six months should not be a problem.
The Romans had strong strategists to back them up. On the other hand, BN has morally-tainted generals rather than leaders, such as MCA president Chua Soi Lek, PM Najib Razak, etc.
Swipenter: Najib's foes are getting stronger, not weaker. His allies are thinking of deserting him. Some already did. Scandals old and new are ravishing the credibility of Umno politicians.
Najib has too many enemies within Umno eyeing his seat and he is too weak to fight them head on.
Look at the downward pressure on the price of our precious oil and gas, oil palm, declining electrical and electronic equipment (E&E) exports and capital outflows, our economy is going to face some strong headwinds.
Sarawak and Sabah are no longer that fixed a deposit for BN. How much longer can Najib wait? How much more money can Najib throw to buy votes?
Time is not on his side. There is a good chance for a change of power in Putrajaya come GE13.
Angry_Voter: Thanks for the history lesson. The picture painted makes Najib look bigger than he really is. I don't think it is a fair comparison. What strategy? I think Najib is simply a coward hiding under his wife's 'sarung'.
Sad Malaysian: Najib is merely delaying the inevitable. But time does not stop. Stagnating is a slow death. Every political party has its own life cycle, and BN's life cycle is nearing the end.
Anon: Hilarious, taking a strategy that failed way back before Christ and applying it to suit an explanation that will make the faithful happy.
There are many stories that also tell of the very common human failing - underestimation. Indeed, do not underestimate BN.

A man has been arrested after two men were shot in what police suspect was a bungled armed robbery by a group of men, including one with a facial tattoo, in a residential street in Sydney's west.
The shooting occurred in Lansdowne Street, Merrylands, about 10.50pm on Wednesday.
One of the injured men, aged 62, was shot in the side of the chest when he came out of his house to investigate an argument he heard.
The man, who police believe was a bystander, is now fighting for his life in Westmead Hospital where he underwent surgery on Thursday morning. Police said he was in a critical and unstable condition.
A witness told Fairfax Radio he heard five shots ring out on Lansdowne Street before he found his neighbour injured.
"I lifted up his shirt and I seen a hole in his chest and I go: 'This guy has been shot,' " he said.
The second victim, 19, was shot four times in the stomach and arm in the street.
Police are investigating whether the shootings occurred during a bungled armed robbery.
A NSW Police spokesman said the injured teen made his way to a petrol station on the corner of Woodville and Merrylands roads in Merrylands to raise the alarm.
The petrol station is about one kilometre away from the shooting scene, and it was unclear whether he drove himself there, a NSW Police spokesman said.
He was treated by paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital, where he was in a serious but stable condition on Thursday morning.
Detectives have set up crime scenes at the petrol station and on Lansdowne Street, and are looking for four men.
One has a thin build, a small amount of facial hair and tattoos across his body, including one on his face.
Another has a short, thin build, a beard and tattoos.
The other two men have not been described.
Police said officers executed a search warrant at a house on Lansdowne Street at 6am on Thursday and arrested a 27-year-old man.
He is being questioned at Parramatta police station. It is unclear if he is one of the men for whom the police were searching and no charges have been laid.
Detectives from the Rosehill Local Area Command and officers attached to Operation Talon, formed in August 2013 to combat public place shootings in Sydney, are investigating.
They have urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or Operation Talon on 1800 802 980.

Australian Cattle Dog
Little 30-pound Darby is a lot of Cattle Dog, packed into a compact body!!! Darby is the ever-loving companion. While Darby is an active dog, she also knows how to relax and watch life go by. She loves instigating play with her foster brother. Darby wants to meet every dog she passes...she barks and nips at their heels though, so she is not real popular at dog park. Not all dogs understand how to interpret her typical Cattle Dog behavior. She would not be good with cats, which is typical of many herding dogs. Darby is all joy, love, and kisses. She has been spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. We would love to find someone who can use this girl up to her full potential...maybe herding, obedience, or agility :-) Her adoption fee is $250.
Sweet Emily is an 8-year old beauty! She is small, weighing in at about 30-lbs. Emily is good with dogs and kids. Not sure about cats. She is housebroken and knows how to use the dog door. Emily knows sit, go lay down, and quiet. She has no food aggression, is good on leash and in the car. This girl is extremely velcro, she wants to be with her person and will do her best to make sure no harm comes to you on her watch :-) She has excellent house manners and does not climb on furniture. Emily is on the shy side and low energy. If you are looking for a devoted companion that will think the sun rises and sets on you, you won't go wrong in adopting this gal. She is part of our Senior-4-Senior program, but is available to be adopted to any aged adopter. If you have never adopted an older dog, you'll probably never adopt another younger one once you do!!! They are in "move in ready" as many would say!!! She has been spayed, up to date with vaccinations, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150, or $100 for seniors :-) If interested in this pet, please fill out an adoption questionnaire on our main website at www.love4canines.org

Hi all,
I have been an owner operator of a small exterior scape business for ten years. Prior to this I worked for an interiorscape company. I have studied horticulture and between business and personal pursuits, have gained experience in many facets of horticulture.
This year I hope to branch out into interiorscape. I have been reading lots of the forum discussions and will keep my eye on this site. It seems like a valuable resource for the industry.
Regardless of how well my venture into interiorscape goes, I embrace the experience of practicing, learning, and enjoying working in horticulture.
Thanks to all that make this forum possible and productive.

Ronaldinho and Adriano will both miss the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ after being omitted from the 23-man Brazil squad named by Dunga today.
Wolfsburg striker Grafite is the surprise inclusion at the expense of Flamengo's Adriano, while Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes is one of the three goalkeepers named.
Dunga explained Adriano's failure to make the squad was a rational, rather than emotional decision after the former Inter Milan forward was granted numerous chances to impress and failed to do so. "Adriano was given several opportunities," said Dunga, who lifted the World Cup trophy as captain in 1994 and will now bid for the Selecao's sixth world crown.
"There was a moment when we made a decision about the group," he went on. "The group always welcomed Adriano, but there is a moment when reason talks louder than the heart."
The 30-year-old Ronaldinho, who was the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2004 and 2005, has been in good form for AC Milan this season but has missed out on Dunga's squad for the finals in 2010, denying him the chance to add a second world title to the one he won in 2002. One of his team-mates in 2002, former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson, has made it into the squad after rediscovering his best form back in Brazil with Flamengo.
The coach also opted to leave out Santos duo Paulo Henrique and Neymar. Dunga revealed the duo failed to impress enough while on international duty. "I have to test the players when they are in the national team," he said. I follow their form in their clubs, but why didn't you (the media) want them in the squad in December or January? These players are enormously talented, but I cannot prepare a national team for 2014 if I have to win today."
AC Milan's Alexandre Pato has also failed to win selection after a less-than-impressive season in Italy. Inter Milan trio Julio Cesar, Maicon and Lucio will be three of the most important players in the squad after helping the Nerazzurri clinch a berth in the UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
Brazil have been drawn in Group G alongside Korea DPR, the Ivorians and Portugal and Dunga called for the fans to back the team, regardless of their thoughts on him as coach.

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of both education and enforcement efforts related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's newly adopted Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule. View the 2009 Tennessee Logic Model Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced its Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule, 73 Federal Register 78 (2008) (codified at 40 C.F.R. §745). The rule will become fully effective April 22, 2010. Because RRP jobs are currently under no regulations with respect to household lead—except for disclosure of hazards—the rule seeks to regulate RRP jobs in households with children or pregnant women to mitigate the potential for increased lead exposure. The rule will require a new set of standards and training of some contracted personnel engaging in RRP jobs that fall within certain specifications. TDEC will be responsible for raising awareness of, providing compliance assistance for, and enforcing U.S. EPA's RRP rule. To prepare for enforcing this rule, TDEC will develop a public education and RRP laborer awareness plan, mechanisms for enforcing compliance with the rule, and a strategy to evaluate the effectiveness of both education and enforcement efforts. < 2009 Program Evaluation Projects

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Sedalia has come a long way from her humble beginnings as a semi-feral kitty found in a shed in Surrey with her two sisters. She has gone from being a wary "fraidy cat" to the striking tabby you see pictured. Sedalia enjoys playtime, but is also content to kick up her paws and relax. She is still a bit shy at times, but in the right environment she'll no doubt steadily gain confidence and continue to flourish. If you're hoping to adopt a pair, please consider adopting Sedalia with one of her sisters, Lousana or Ponoka.
Again, if you are interested in viewing or adopting these kitties, please go to www.orphankittenrescue.com/adopt
Sedalia, a Vancouver Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Vancouver, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Vancouver.

SYDNEY — A 20-year-old Sydney man charged in connection with a drive-by shooting was released from custody Monday after agreeing to abide by a host of conditions.
Steven Douglas Killam of Duffell Drive is charged with two counts of possession of weapons dangerous to public peace, mischief in relation to property damage and four counts of breaching court orders.
The charges stem from a shooting incident earlier this month in which a vehicle was struck several times by a man driving near the Mayflower Mall with a handgun.
No injuries were reported as a result of the shooting.
Police seized a P36 airsoft pistol — a replica handgun that fires plastic pellets — from the suspect vehicle.
Killam is also scheduled to stand trial in June on four counts of assault and single counts of sexual assault, assault with a weapon (a shoelace), uttering a threat, forcible confinement, and breaching a court order. The trial is set for June 9.
Among the conditions of his release, Killam is abide by a curfew, report, by phone, once a week to Cape Breton Regional Police, he is not to have contact with several named individuals and he is not allowed to possess a pager or cell phone.
Killam is now scheduled to enter pleas on April 14.

1. Re: How to copy email messages432524 Feb 1, 2007 4:19 PM (in response to 554356)The best approach would be to use a server side rule where you forward/copy the send message to the user on the second OCS.
The two OCS instances must be independent - otherwise you'll end up in a loop.
2. Re: How to copy email messages554356 Feb 2, 2007 1:53 PM (in response to 432524)I have a dblink between db1 and db2. That's it. But i'm not interested in SSR's because i'd have to create a SSR for every user because it's a [1 user :1 user] copy operation i'm interested in.
Thank you for your time and interest but i'm afraid that your solution is not what i need.
3. Re: How to copy email messages405101 Feb 16, 2007 10:12 AM (in response to 554356)what is your objective Irina? it might help in suggesting a solution.
is the second db a live OCS instance? is it a "mirror" of the first system or completely different structure? are you trying to do compliance (outgoing mail) archiving or is this meant to be some kind of DR or backup system?
4. Re: How to copy email messages554356 Feb 19, 2007 10:12 AM (in response to 405101)Yep...it's archiving.
The solution that Oracle offers is no good for us cause the users have to access the archive by a button click, so i am trying to replicate user accounts in term of emails and folder structure.
So...any ideas?
5. Re: How to copy email messages405101 Feb 19, 2007 4:01 PM (in response to 554356)Irina, I don't think the mail api is not really designed for that. To do things at the database level, you might want to look at streams to pump all changes over to an archive database.
However one thing to bear in mind is that if you are capturing changes in the user's mail folder then you do not have an authoritative record of all mail (just an archive of what actually made it into their folders (e.g. if they choose not to keep a sent copy, then you will not have it in your archive).
For this reason, true compliance archiving usually aims to intercept the smtp delivery process (either as an intermediate gateway or plugin to a gateway .. google for such products).
you would normally do this at your corporate smtp gateway. unfortunately, I don't believe you can internally intercept/hook the OCS smtp process with 100% reliability (e.g. via a trigger), so I'd suggest you look at external smtp solutions if you really need compliance archiving.
6. Re: How to copy email messages554356 Feb 26, 2007 10:43 AM (in response to 405101)Hi Paul,
Thank you for your suggestion but i found my solution. The mail api was designed for exactly that, but not the public ones...so i'm using the api's the application actually uses when a user copies a mail message in a shared folder. And it works.
So thank you for your input but i found what i was searching for.
All the best,
7. Re: How to copy email messages405101 Mar 17, 2007 12:58 AM (in response to 554356)Hi Irina, I'm intrigued by what you are doing. Can you post the details of your solution?

Amherst Mayor Robert Small (right) accepted the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia's Community Spirit Award from J.J. Grant at the start of the Blueberry Festival. The award acknowledges Amherst's work to become a hub of activity and opportunity.
AMHERST – It was only fitting as one festival was winding down the Town of Amherst's community spirit would be recognized as another began.
Brigadier-General, the Honourable J.J. Grant, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, presented a coveted Community Spirit Award as the community's blueberry festival, part of Amherst's 125th celebrations, got underway – just days after the Maritime Rockabilly Shakedown Festival drew to a close.
Only four communities are recognized each year with the community spirit award and Amherst's recent rise is festivals and activities played a hand it securing its nomination.
"Amherst is truly a special place," Grant said. "Celebrate today and everyday."
Rainer Bressmer, a member of the community selection committee, said each year between eight and 19 applications are received, with the committee members becoming champions for their choices. It wasn't long, however, before all of the members were backing the border community's application.
"Amherst was in a good position in the first round," Bressmer said. "To the members what was appealing was what had been done to revitalize Amherst's downtown, its festivals, events. It made the short list from the very beginning."
The acknowledgement from the Lt. Governor General's office, Amherst Mayor Robert Small, is a reflection of the work and vision the citizen's are bringing forward.
"It's clear the people of Amherst are working together to create a thriving community for each other," Small said. "This is Amherst's 125th anniversary celebration. How much better could it be than to be awarded the community spirit award as we celebrate."
The Lieutenant Governor's Community Spirit Award celebrates the power, strength and diversity of vibrant communities across Nova Scotia. It profiles their achievements and increases their visibility through a formal recognition program.
Up to four Nova Scotia communities are honoured each year. Recipients are chosen by a selection committee based on community applications that best fit the award's criteria. Communities selected for the award promote citizen engagement, civic pride and a positive outlook on the future.

Justin Long Walks Amanda Seyfried's Dog In NYC So We Can Probably Assume They're Really Dating
Hey, that handsome dog looks awfully familiar… Either we've got a documented case of dognapping on our hands or Justin Long has all but confirmed his relationship with Amanda Seyfried by walking her beloved mutt Finn in NYC's Union Square. I really like this new celebrity couple, don't you? I hate to say it, but it seems like Amanda has dated a sea of Hollywood pricks, like Dominic Cooper, who cheated on her with Lindsay Lohan, and Ryan Philippe, whose dick history goes without saying. A nice Connecticut guy like Justin might be just what she needs! [Photos: Fame/Flynet]

We learned that Chris Galippo will still have a major role despite being beat out for the starting middle linebacker spot by Devon Kennard. The veteran linebacker will serve as the backup at all three linebacker positions and be a key special teams player.
We learned that the Trojans have one of the best coaching staffs in the country. Lane Kiffin may still be unproven as a head coach, but the assistants that he hired are as impressive a group as you will find in college football.
We learned that Marc Tyler has revitalized his career with the help of the new coaching staff. I spoke with Tyler just days before the opening of fall camp and you could sense the excitement in his voice then.
We learned that Allen Bradford is still one of the most respected players on the team. The senior tailback lost his starting spot but continued to show leadership by staying focused on the practice field and vowing that he would compete to climb back up the depth chart.
We learned that Lane Kiffin isn't afraid to shake things up. Well, we already knew that, but I am talking about the depth chart. Switching Devon Kennard to middle linebacker gives his team a much needed physical presence in the middle, moving Jordan Cameron to tight end will provide a big, athletic pass catcher in the redzone and starting a pair of freshmen sends a message to the current players as well as recruits looking for early playing time.
We learned that Rhett Ellison will be the primary tight end after a solid performance during the fall. As Lane Kiffin recently noted, Ellison wasn't the most heavily recruited player coming out of high school, but he has become a valuable piece of the puzzle because of his hard work and dedication.
We learned that all the talk of bringing back discipline to the program was no joke. From the laps that players have to run after each mistake during practice, to the suspensions of freshmen Dillon Baxter and Patrick Hall, the message has been delivered that everyone is going to be held accountable for their actions. And the players have responded on the practice field and in the classroom.
We learned that Robert Woods has impressed the coaching staff just as much off the field as he has on it. The former Serra standout was able to quickly pick up the offense because of the countless hours he spent studying the playbook. He still hasn't played a single snap on the college level, but all indications point to Woods being a terrific player and leader for USC.
We learned that Christian Thomas has a very bright future ahead of him, no matter which side of the ball he ends up on. Thomas came in as a tight end, and looked like the best of the trio of first-year tight ends, but he has since been moved to defensive end and shown plenty of potential as a pass rusher. At 6-3, 240 pounds, Thomas is big, physical and extremely quick off the ball.
We learned that the defensive line has been as good as advertised. With a lot of talent and versatility, to go along with the coaching of Ed Orgeron, this group will be the strength of the defense in 2010. After being pushed around during four intrasquad scrimmages this fall, the Trojans' offensive line is happy to get a crack at an opposing d-line.
We learned that a lack of depth will be one of the Trojans' biggest weaknesses in 2010. Due to injuries and transfers, the roster is thin at linebacker, fullback and offensive line. When healthy, USC is still one of the most talented teams in college football but they have little room for injuries this coming season.
We learned that Malcolm Smith could have a breakout season in 2010. The senior linebacker has quietly had a very good camp and has gained the confidence of the new staff. If Smith and Kennard play up to expectations then the linebacker unit will be much improved this season.
We learned that this team has shown a lot of character this offseason. With the departure of Pete Carroll, the recent NCAA sanctions and other issues, the players have banded together and remained united during tough times. The reward for those that stayed, as well as the loyal fans, arrives Thursday night with opening kickoff against Hawaii.
Devon Kennard won the competition for the starting middle linebacker job .

Joe Jonas Says 'I'm Sorry' Is About 'Ending a Relationship Too Early'
Joe Jonas' forthcoming solo effort 'FastLife' is dance oriented and urban, earning the singer comparisons to Justin Timberlake, which he touches on in a recent chat with Digital Spy. However, the most interesting thing that JJ reveals is that while 'FastLife' has fun songs that you can listen to while hanging with your bros, the album does contain a song called 'I'm Sorry' — and it's about one of Jonas' many high-profile relationships.
In Jonas' past, he's squired Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Camilla Belle and Ashley Greene, just in case you haven't been keeping up with the singer's date card, which is littered with stunning women.
"There's a song called 'I'm Sorry' and a song called 'FastLife' that I'm excited for people to hear," the newly-solo singer said. "'I'm Sorry' is one of those really honest songs about ending a relationship too early and you want them back in your life and all you can do is apologize."
He contends that the song 'FastLife' is just about going out with your friends and having a good time. "I think it's one of those songs that people can relate with and like," the middle Jonas said.
Jonas admits that he also wrote "a happy song about someone but then we ended up splitting up, but you have to put those kind of things to the back of your mind and tell yourself that it's a good song and it works on the album."
The singer wasn't nervous about laying his relationship cards face up on the table for 'FastLife,' however. "I wanted to be honest, and when you do that you have to go there for certain good or bad reasons," he said. "It can be difficult to go "Here's my heart on a platter,' but at the same time you've just got to go for it."
That's a brave decision and one he hopes fans will relate to. "I have grown up and so have my fans," he acknowledged. "They'll be going through relationships that are more mature and hopefully they'll understand what I'm speaking about."
Let's break down Jonas' comments about his music and his bevy of exes and infer who he might be referring to, shall we? Jonas revealed that 'I'm Sorry' is about one of his relationships that ended too soon. We guess he is referring to Demi Lovato here, since they dated a very brief time last year, though his relationship with Swift, while much buzzed about, was also short. She has written songs about him, and it's obvious things did not end well between them, so perhaps this is a sonic olive branch that he is extending to her?
And that happy song he wrote? We think that one has to be about 'Twilight' star Greene, since they were together for over a year and presumably while he was writing music for 'FastLife.' They split in March, before the Details story landed, where Jonas gushed about what a dedicated girlfriend Greene was.
As for those JT comparisons? Jonas is just fine with them, and he should be. "I think it's flattering," he said. "He's a fantastic artist. At the same time I feel like Justin Timberlake has his own lane and I'm trying to make something that is different and personal and not like anything else. Of course, it's still a very big compliment."
Joe Jonas' 'FastLife' drops on October 11.

FRESNO, Calif. - The University of Nevada volleyball team fell 3-0 (25-23, 25-10, 25-16) to the Fresno State Bulldogs on Thursday night.
Janelle Batista, Taylar Rothfuss and Kelly Chang led the Wolf Pack in the loss, which leaves Nevada at 4-20 (1-10 MW) through its first two dozen contests. Fresno State is 16-8 (7-3 MW) after the home-court win.
As a team, the Pack could not recover from falling in a close first set. In the first frame, Nevada had 12 kills, a high for any set in the match. With momentum rolling in the favor of the Bulldogs after they outlasted Nevada, the match ended in three sets and sent the Pack looking for a road-trip split at UNLV on Saturday night.
Batista had eight kills on 22 attacks and committed five errors. Rothfuss, starting at setter for the third-straight match, had 20 assists, six digs and two assisted blocks. Chang had 10 digs, one assist and her second kill of the season as a libero.
Bonnie Paul also had a good offensive night, recording seven kills while committing only two errors. Her .333 hitting percentage led all Nevada players with at least five attacks.
Nevada's contest with UNLV, at 7 p.m. inside Cox Pavilion on Saturday, could be worth three points in the newly-created Governor's Series presented by NV Energy. With a win, UNLV would clinch the three volleyball points, after defeating the Pack 3-2 in the first meeting between the two teams this year. A Pack victory would mean a split and 1.5 points to each team.

I do know that a euro motor tends to be free'r than the us equivalent due to stringent us emission regulations and IMO was a shame you guys never got the s50/52 euro motor (you pretty much got all the horses with the s54
somewhere I have some images of my old e36 328is with a dbilas itb set up, should've kept it as I coulda used that motor with its near 260!
the euro spec m50/52 b20 is rated at 150 and m54b22 170 (both really sweet revving motors)
I would say that maybe the 160 you have is quite a bit down on where it needs to be
to be fair to you, i'm hoping it doesn't have 190 as I was struggling to out run a couple of e36 318is race cars (m42/44 140)

Please note that research is an ongoing process, and I draw from actual local and world news events, religious texts, as well as from the 'hard sciences,' and the esoteric sciences'like numerology (but also use the 'holy' numbers in religious texts), astrology, astronomy, plus utilize world history, and cultural belief systems. Whenever I take the saga characters to another country, trust that that country has been researched, and their history, languages, culture and locations mentioned in each novel are valid. The above is by no means a comprehensive list of my 'fact weaving,' but it gives a sample of how facts have been incorporated into building the legend. While fiction and fantasy are fun, it's more believable and resonates more strongly when there is a solid underpinning of fact beneath it. I have not included the ongoing research that I'm undertaking (as we speak) for future books, because to tell that would give away critical plot lines and possibly ruin the ride for readers. Suffice to say that I spend a LOT of time in the library stacks, on-line, and rooting through obscure sources and literature to give you the best read I possibly can. Enjoy!

A TEENAGER whose scooter was stolen and dumped is determined to find out what happened to her "pride and joy" — after it was retrieved with a totally new colour design.
Sophie Howarth, aged 18, had her turquoise Vespa LX 50 stolen from a drive in Chapeltown Road, Radcliffe, on Tuesday, February 18.
The Holy Cross student saved up to buy the scooter for her birthday and has taken her compulsory basic training so she can ride on the road.
Sophie launched a social media appeal to find her prized possession and there were several sightings before police recovered the bike from outside flats at the junction of Bolton Road and Lancaster Street in Radcliffe on Friday.
The bike had been "disguised" by crude black and silver spray paint but patches of turquoise were showing through.
Sophie said: "I was at my boyfriend's house and I left the bike well-hidden between two cars.
"We went inside for 10 minutes to clear some space in the garage, then went back outside and the bike had gone.
"She is my pride and joy.
My sister and I spent days going around looking for her. Now she has been found in this sorry state, I just want to get some justice."
Sophie praised users of Facebook page Spotted Radcliffe for their "brilliant" response in sharing pictures and telling her of possible sightings across the town.
A police spokeswoman said there had not yet been any response to the appeal which could lead to an arrest or charge and the bike was being forensically tested.
Sophie, whose dad Robert is a custody sergeant with Greater Manchester Police, said: "If anyone knows anything or saw anyone with the bike please let police know, as it may be a place where there was CCTV trained on the area.
"Please come forward so this does not happen again to someone else!"
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 and quote crime reference 2647 18th Feb.

What kind of clients are you using? If windoze, then i would recommend
you consider using PPTP. Easy to setup both on your winbox and m0n0wall.
Only thing you need to do is enable PPTP server in m0n0wall, fill in the
server address and remote address range. If you are running a radius
server on you LAN(eg. MS IAS), you get a central managment of your user
accounts. If not, use m0n0wall's built-in user account and add users to
Now on your windoze machine, add a new network connection and choose
"Connect to a private network(VPN)" and fill in the ip-address of
m0n0walls WAN interface(or FQDN).
Checking "Require 128-bit encryption" on the PPTP properties page on
m0n0wall enabels clients to use 128-bits encryption when connecting.
(unencrypted connections will not be accepted)
With this setup, you dont have to worry about remote subnet or gateway
since a client can connect via VPN from any ip as long as the username
and password is accepted.

Holly Robinson Peete made her acting debut on TV in 1969 on the first episode of "Sesame Street." From there, her star continued to rise as she scored roles on "21 Jump Street" and "For Your Love." Peete even showcased her singing talent during a memorable performance with Lionel Hampton at a Parisian club. As an extremely busy mom of four children (one of whom has autism and requires a great deal of extra care), Holly Robinson Peete has sought quick dieting solutions in the past.
Holly Robinson Peete has stated that the most extreme diet she's ever tried has been a coffee enema. Considering that the coffee is taken rectally, it really can't be considered a diet. Enemas are intended to stimulate weight loss by eliminating free radicals. Supposedly. There is no scientific evidence to back up this claim, and in fact, it can be quite dangerous. Coffee enemas may lead to internal burns, decreased bowel function, and electrolyte imbalance. Peete claimed that she lost 10 lbs. in 2 weeks by doing coffee enemas, but that's almost certainly the result of lost water weight. She further stated that the weight came right back.
Peete has tried cleanses taken by mouth, as well. She has done the 21-day Kathy Freston Quantum Wellness Cleanse, a crash diet. The first week she ate purely vegan food, nothing but raw food the second week, and only juices the third week. There's nothing to criticize about a vegan diet, so long as it includes a nutritionally complete meal plan. However, Peete's other crash diets do not promote long-term healthy eating habits and are not sustainable nor recommended.
Fortunately, Holly Robinson Peete turned to a diet delivery service in 2009 to supply her with a much more balanced meal plan. She signed her entire family up for Freshology. On this diet program, she might have eaten foods like whole grain waffles with cinnamon spiced pears for breakfast, followed by a BBQ chicken quesadilla with mango salsa for lunch. Dinner might have been grilled salmon with beets and couscous.
This diet plan is vastly preferable to coffee enemas and juice fasts. It has a mix of whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh produce. However, Holly would have benefited from pairing her whole grain waffles with some lean protein for breakfast. One way of doing this is to add protein powder to the waffle mix. Instead of the quesadilla, Holly could have added chicken with a low-sugar BBQ sauce to a pita pocket, along with plenty of fresh veggies.
Holly Robinson Peete doesn't appear to exercise frequently. She cites caring for her children as the major factor she's simply too tired to exercise most of the time. When she does work out, Holly's exercise of choice is yoga.
Holly Robinson Peete Sample Daily Diet Plan
- Breakfast: Waffles & pears
- Lunch: Chicken quesadilla
- Dinner: Salmon & beets & couscous

Holly Madison's Adopting A Baby
Because Hugh Hefner might die before he takes a break from banging younger runaways willing to change a diaper for a buffalo nickel, Holly Madison is in the process of adopting a baby, according to In Touch, who's apparently going to buy all this busy theater actress talk:
Holly faults her trying schedule, which is jam-packed with events and theater roles, as the main reason she doesn't have a bundle of joy just yet.
"I love performing in the theater [Translation: Stripping.], and you can't really do that when you're pregnant [outside of the South]," the former Girl Next Door star explains.
"It was when my adopted mother looked into my hungry nine-month-old eyes and said these words to me I'll never forget, 'No, no, those are just for decoration.' That's when I knew I had to carve the demons out of hitchhikers with my Holy Riding Mower of Truth." – Christopher Hugh Angel Madison vs. City of North Las Vegas

The country charm and community pride is as obvious as the desire to show that this region is an ideal holiday destination. The major towns of our region make an ideal base for exploring the pristine ocean and rugged coastline from Baird Bay to the Head of Bight.
Whales are plentiful at the Head of Bight during the winter months, the surfing at Cactus Beach arguably the best in Australia, and the beautiful Gawler Rangers are a comfortable drive inland.
The fishing is great all year round. Smoky Bay and Denial Bay oysters are amongst the world's finest, grown and harvested in the region's pristine ocean waters and gentle tides.

Lena Dunham ends up in hospital after flip flop accident
Lena Dunham attempted to blame her hospital trip on Thursday (14Jul16) on a stunt gone wrong, before admitting she had "tripped over my flip flop" and sprained her arm.
Lena Dunham ended up in hospital after tripping over a flip flop and spraining her arm.
The Girls star concerned fans when she posted an image on her Instagram page on Thursday (14Jul16), showing her sitting on a hospital bed with her arm in a mesh sling.
She captioned the shot: "I do my own stunts". However, after her followers were quick to offer their get well wishes, Lena came clean about what had caused her dash to the emergency room.
Alongside another snap of her lying on a hospital bed, Lena wrote: "Seriously I tripped over my flip-flop and thank you to the amazing team at Lenox Hill who x-rayed me, determined it was a stupid sprain and sent me back to work, intact but for my pride."
Lena is no stranger to hitting headlines, and made the news earlier this week when she shared an Instagram post from Girls producer Tami Sagher, showing a movie poster for Jason Bourne in a New York subway which features Matt Damon holding a firearm.
The image of the gun has been peeled away, and Tami called for all billboards to receive the same treatment.
"Hey New Yorkers, what if we do some peeling and get rid of the guns in the Jason Bourne subway ads. So tired of guns," Tami wrote. When Lena shared the post, she added, "Good idea…Let's go!"
Their call comes not long after the deaths of African Americans Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, who were shot by police officers, and the subsequent deaths of five officers in a shooting at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, Texas.
Lena urged her fans to call for an end to racial inequality in America on Instagram after the death of Sterling in Louisiana on 5 July (16). She wrote, "Alton Sterling's beautiful family. American children of colour do not have the luxury of knowing their parents will come home safe, or relying on law enforcement to protect their families.
"Meanwhile rich white college boys run roughshod across the law every day and then get jobs in banking. We have to say no more. We have to SCREAM it."

See ebb tide.
After that he bade us all sleep, for we had some long hours to wait for the falling tide when all was done.
And the desires and aversions are like the rising and falling tide.
The mud is deposited and the waters return with the falling tide to the bed of the river.
"You see that sand bank that the falling tide has exposed," was Frank's reply.
Moncada's flagship had been left by the falling tide hard aground on Calais bar.
It would not do to let the falling tide catch us in that place.
The immense weight of snow had pushed the ice down with the falling tide and the rising tide had flooded it.
The rising tide tends toward the north, from the Ionian to the Tyrrhenian sea, and the falling tide in the opposite direction.
"Ticklish job that, on a falling tide," said the mate, coolly.
Under these pleasant circumstances we went to bed, in hopes that the falling tide might swing us clear before morning.

I did use Mred. I use #lang scheme/gui I do not use dynamic-require, I use ffi-lib with define-runtime-path of the dll - these things works. I try to save a serialized version of a define-serializable-class into a file. Later on, same computer, load it with deserialize. The error is raised when I try to save, not on startup. The error also occurs when I load a file saved by the application that runs in drscheme. Any other functionality is working fine. I've done the same with mzc --gui-exe & --exe-dir instead of drscheme "create executable", but got the same behavior.

Psychologist hand scoring error rates on the Rothwell Miller Interest Blank: A comparison of three job allocation systems
Goddard, Richard, Simons, Roland H., Patton, Wendy A., & Sullivan, Karen A. (2004) Psychologist hand scoring error rates on the Rothwell Miller Interest Blank: A comparison of three job allocation systems. Australian Journal of Psychology, 56(1), pp. 25-32.
|PDF (107kB)
Hand scoring errors are known to occur on a range of psychological tests. The present study conducts an investigation into the existence of scoring errors by 27 professional occupational psychologists using the Rothwell-Miller Interest Blank (RMIB; Miller, Tyler & Rothwell, 1994). Building on investigations into the impact of work allocation practices on work quality in other professions, this study explored whether psychologist scoring error rates differed between three work allocation systems. Data from 1175 completed RMIB survey forms indicated error rates for the three systems ranged from five to 16.3 percent, with the self-managed work allocation system resulting in the lowest error rate. The discussion focuses on possible ways for psychologists to overcome scoring error rates with the RMIB and the potential implications these results have for allocating case work to psychologists. Suggestions for test developers and organisations designing work allocation systems are proffered.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Hi all I had an interview today for immigrant VISA CRY , but unfortunately it had been denied , his reasons was that the marriage were for intent to immigrate ( 9 DAM 41 . 81 6 . 5 ) , the officer was so rude , he was interrupting me all the me , assuming the worst and just spit it on my face , that the marriage is a total fraud and sham . He mentioned : " So you want to convince me , that you've met your wife for one time ( the time we got married ) , and spent two years without seeing her , and you both got married the first time you met each other " My reply to him was : " I was a student ( PhD ) , and she was a student by that time , and she had financial problems since she is a student as well , and we were helping each other financially , by the time she started to work , we were at the end of our process "Dear Mr. Andrew Marino Bramante I can assure you for 100% that my marriage is genuine, I know it will change nothing to proof it here, but according to what I've read in several blogs, if I applied for another I-130, it will be denied for sure, since the application will be marked as a fraud at the NVC once it's being rejected by the consular officer at the embassy, so I guess there are no point of reapplying, don't you agree? About appealing, I will appeal to the end of my life, since she is my wife, and she is everything to me and vice verse, unfortunately she can't live outside the US due to several reason that I prefer to keep it private :) Thank you all for your answers and replies
There are no CRY visas in the US. Do you perhaps mean a CR1? In any event, it is time to hire an experienced immigration attorney to sort it out.

Yes it's a CR1, but I didn't manage to find any option to edit it, I'm really sorry about that, bu't can't you answer any of our questions? I'm really lost here, I need an attorney for sure, but I want to understand my situation before I get involved in anything, since the officer was rude enough to not provide any understood-able information to me!!!
I agree with my colleague.
(213) 394-4554 x0 Mr. Shusterman is a former INS Trial Attorney (1976-82) with over 35 years of immigration experience. His response to your question is general in nature, as not all the facts are known to him. You should retain an attorney experienced in immigration law to review all the facts in your case in order to receive advice specific to your case. Mr. Shusterman's statement above does not create an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
If your marriage interview went bad and the officer accused you of fraud, you should immediately hire an attorney. If USCIS feels there is fraud in your relationship, then they can prohibit you from every getting a visa again. See INA 204(c). Fighting marriage fraud accusations is an art in itself and requires a lot of time with your lawyer. Often times the officer is wrong and has an incorrect perception of events. Be prepared and be open with your lawyer so that he/she can best prepare the response to CIS and preserve your family.Ask a similar question
Have you received a written decision from the immigration office in Cincinnati? You should confer with an, immigration attorney as soon as possible. You have several options for proceeding, however, it is important that you do not accept a decision from CIS that the marriage was for the sole purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit. Such a decision left unchallenged may result in a permanent bar to lawful status in United States.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues that you should immediately hire an attorney. Assuming your marriage was valid and your interview was for an I-130, your attorney may advise you to refile a new I-130 Petition. Your attorney can guide you through all the things you should do to prove it was valid. Alternatively, he may advise you to appeal the decision. Either way, you will need someone with experience to help you.
You should always consult with an experienced immigration attorney to make certain that the advice you received is appropriate for your particular immigration case.Ask a similar question

China adjusted the sliding scale tax levied on cotton imports to increase the duty for cheaper shipments, the China Cotton Association said today, citing the Ministry of Finance.
The price ceiling for imports to be taxed at a maximum of 40 percent will be increased to 14,000 yuan a metric ton, up from 11,397 yuan a ton, according to the association. Shipments priced higher than 14,000 yuan will be taxed at a flat rate of 570 yuan a ton, it said.
"The change is partly aimed at ensuring cheap imports don't compete with local cotton because imports are now much cheaper than local produce," Fu Xiaoyan, an analyst at Nanhua Futures Co., said by phone from Hangzhou today.
Cotton for May delivery on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange gained 1.4 percent to 20,650 yuan a metric ton by 10:19 a.m. local time. March-delivery cotton on ICE Futures U.S. in New York rose 1.4 percent to 86.29 cents a pound yesterday.
Still, "the change in the formula seems to have little impact for now because the lowest import price is much higher than the benchmark 14,000 yuan a ton," Dong Shuzhi, vice general manager of PKU Founder Commodities Group, said from Urumqi today.
Imports in November reached 378,200 metric tons, almost triple from a year earlier, cncotton.com said, citing customs data. The website is owned by the China National Cotton Reserves Corp., which manages state stockpiles.

BELTON — A Bell County grand jury indicted a 25-year-old Killeen man on two felony charges after he allegedly fired a gun at another man.
Johnnie Ray Randall was indicted Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony, and on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, a third-degree felony.
Randall was arrested Tuesday after Killeen police responded to a report of an aggravated assault in the 300 block of Washington Street in Killeen.
A female witness told police a man, later identified as Randall, went inside the home with a handgun, according to an arrest affidavit.
With the woman's permission, police searched the home and found Randall and a .380-caliber handgun in the tank of a toilet.
Randall, who was injured around his left eye, told police a man struck him in the face, pulled a gun on him and began firing. As Randall was speaking to police, the alleged victim arrived and told officers Randall pulled a gun on him after a verbal argument that led to the victim punching Randall in the face, the affidavit stated.
The victim told police Randall shot at him. A man and a woman present at the altercation confirmed the victim's account, the affidavit stated.
According to court records, Randall was convicted April 11, 2012, on a felony charge of tampering with physical evidence.
Other indictments handed down Wednesday included:
Terrell Deion Lowe, 20, of Temple, on a charge of burglary of a habitation.
Tevin Lyle Ensign, 21, of Killeen, on a charge of arson.
Tony Matthew Middleton, 27, of Killeen, on a charge of burglary of a habitation.
Daniel Jordan Larue-Bates, 25, on a charge of possession of cocaine, less than 1 gram.
Tiffany Diane Pierce, 23, of Killeen, of a charge of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, 4 grams or more.
Shawn Michael Walker, 29, of Killeen, on a charge of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, 4 grams or more.
