Changes to enter_bug.cgi

You need to

before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Probably for the time after we have version 3.4 up and running:
If this is the first time that you report a bug, please take a look at the guidelines first
so everybody saves time and your issue can get fixed faster.
Also, please note that the scope of bugs.maemo.org are clear bugs and only very
specific, trivial and no-brainer enhancement requests. Feature request that are
too generic for bugs.maemo.org and have several options to solve them should be
filed in maemo.org
Brainstorm instead.
please note that bugzilla can _know_ if it isn't the first time someone has
reported a bug. I'd suggest that it use logic of:
[select count creation_date,reporter from bugs where reporter=user and
creation_date < eval{today - 1 week}]
=> user_has_reported_bugs = true
In that case, i'm happy to not show the item from 1).

With Brendan Shanahan's suspension videos now coming every week, it's interesting to think back to the Colin Campbell days of player discipline. Back then, not only were the videos not made, but most of the time, there wasn't even the punishment.
For Example A, you have Marc Savard, the Bruins star whose career was essentially ended by an elbow to the head from Matt Cooke. That hit led to no suspension or fine for Cooke, of course, but it did set off changes that create the environment where supplemental discipline is dished out just about as often as the NHL's stars of the week.
With that in mind, Savard would be a qualified voice on the recent five-game suspension handed to Brad Marchand.
"Shanahan in tough predicament," Savard wrote on his Twitter page. "Marchand five games was a bad decision. I believe he warranted two games but on the other hand [Jean-Francois] Jacques gets three."
The Jacques hit to which Savard is referring was one eerily similar to the one Savard received from Cooke. You can see it below.
Jacques was a repeat offender, but because R.J. Umberger suffered no apparent injury, the punishment was just a three-game suspension for Jacques.
Savard, as you can imagine, took issue with that.
"Jacques hit is what we want out of the game," Savard wrote. "Give him five games that is exactly rule 48."
Savard, 34, was empathetic with Shanahan, though, acknowledging it's not an easy gig.
"I don't want Shannie's job, he's honestly never right," Savard wrote. "[No one] is ever happy with Shanny but Marchy [definitely] didn't deserve five games."

Kill Bill follow on
Page Tools
Daryl Hannah and Quentin Tarantino on the set of Kill Bill Volume 1.
Photo: The Australian Financial Review
Tarantino, a long-time fan of the 1970s ''chopsocky'' martial arts film genre, will make two versions of the movie, one with English subtitles and another with a dubbed English soundtrack, he told Total Film magazine.
In homage to the often shakily-shot budget martial arts films of the era, the English dubbing will be deliberately out of synchronisation with the action.
''The next movie will be in Mandarin. I enjoyed shooting all the Japanese stuff in Kill Bill so much that this whole film will be entirely in Mandarin,'' the director said in the interview.
''If you're not up to watching it with subtitles, I really want to do a full-on dubbed version.''
The as-yet untitled movie will begin shooting early next year, supplanting Tarantino's previously planned follow-up to Kill Bill, a World War II epic tentatively titled Inglorious Bastards.
''My next movie is gonna be another kung fu (film) that's gonna blow your asses off. Everyone still thinks I'm doing Inglorious Bastards next but before I do I want to do something much smaller,'' he said.
Tarantino, who shot to fame with his 1992 debut Reservoir Dogs has never hidden his fondness for - and debt to - Asian cinema.
The plot of Reservoir Dogs was heavily influenced by the 1987 Hong Kong crime film City on Fire, and Tarantino spent some months in Beijing in 2002 filming the Kill Bill series with a Chinese crew.
The two movies borrowed heavily from the styles and plots of Hong Kong kung-fu films as well as from Japanese cinema.

Around the Farm: September 2
|Matt LaPorta
(photo: Columbus
Francisco Lindor: DH, Mahoning Valley: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, SB (1):
Lindor played in his first full game of the season, and responded with his first multi-hit game of the season, as well as his first stolen base. In his four games of his professional career, Lindor has hit in three of them. According to Tony Lastoria, Lindor will likely be the starting shortstop at Lake County next year, with Wolters possibly moving to second. While a lot can happen over the winter months, that seems like a pretty solid middle infield of the future for the Tribe. Keep this in mind: Lindor and Wolters are a combined 37-years-old. For those counting at home, that's three years younger than Jim Thome.
Matt LaPorta: 1B, Columbus: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K:
I'm not sure what surprised me more, that Matt LaPorta was finally sent down to the minors, or that in his debut with the Clippers, he actually hit a two-run homer. In sending down LaPorta during the final month of a playoff run, the Indians are perhaps succumbing to the fact that right-handed first baseman is dangerously near becoming the poster child for the term "monumental bust" While it's true that he's only 26-years old and still has time to prove himself as a power hitter in the bigs, being sent down at a time when the Indians needed him the most certainly isn't a pat on the back from Tribe Management. As far back as June, we were talking about how LaPorta couldn't even lace up Ryan Garko's cleats (check the comments of Tony's piece), and the Indians have finally temporarily pulled the plug on the centerpiece of the CC Sabathia deal in Milwaukee. Well, at least the Clippers can use him during their playoffs I guess. Maybe he can right the ship, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.
- Luis Valbuena: SS, Columbus: 3-4, 1 K, SB (6): You can say what you want about Luis Valbuena, but he's just killing International League pitching this year. In the nine games since he's returned from a short stint in Cleveland, the shortstop is 13-for-36, with five runs scored. Ir's unfortunate that he hasn't yet translated into a major league player.
- Argenis Reyes: 2B, Columbus: 1-1, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB: Reyes has never really been a factor, or at least much of one, when it came to prospect ratings, but the wily minor league veteran has done nothing but hit the ball for the Indians over the past two years. Last season, he hit .340 for the Clippers after a trade brought him over from the Red Sox. This year, he's hit .315 since the Indians signed him away from the New Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am Independent League. The Tribe has been cleaning up with these minor league, free-agent signings this year.
- Zach McAllister: SP, Columbus: W (12-3), 7 IP, 11 H, 2 R/ER, 7 K: McAllister has reclaimed the groove that he seemed to lose in late July with back-to-back solid starts. He's 4-0 in his last four starts, and should remain in the picture for an end-of-the-rotation slot in the coming years.
- Chen Lee: RP, Columbus: S (1), 2 IP, 4 H, 1 R/ER, 2 K: Lee wasn't perfect last night, but did manage to save the bullpen and get a save in the process. The righty has been solid since a four-run implosion on August 20th, only giving up one run in the six innings he's pitched since.
- Jordan Henry: CF, Akron: 2-5, 2 R, 1 RBI: Henry has really scuffled at Double A Akron, but has shown signs of returning to form in the past week. He's had three two-hit games in his last six, but has to find a way to hit righties a bit better than his .236 average. He's hitting a solid .297 against left-handers.
- Karexon Sanchez: 2B, Akron: 2-3, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 2 BB: While Sanchez is only htting .218, these are the types of games that he became known for last year in Kinston. He's a hot-or-cold type player, but when he's on, he's very...very good. It was good to see him batting second for the Aeros, instead of at the bottom of the lineup.
- Chun Chen: C, Akron: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K: Chen is closing out his season with a strong offensive push. He's currently on a six-game hit streak, with two homers and a double in his last four games.
- John Drennen: LF, Akron: 2-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K: Drennen had his third multi-hit game out of his past four, and including a homer in last night's game. He's hitting .300 over his past ten games, with a .417 OBP.
- Donnie Webb: RF, Akron: 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B: Webb broke out of a 2-for-30 slump with a big game last night. Don't expect much more of this from the light-hitting utility player.
- Bryan Price: SP, Akron: 3 IP, 2 H, 2 K: Price got the unconventional start last night thanks to injuries and call-ups, and did a nice job. He continued a nice stretch in which he's only given up one earned run over his past eight appearances and fifteen innings. He's not a stud prospect by any stretch, but he certainly could be a factor from Columbus next season.
- Rob Bryson: RP, Akron: W (2-0), 2 IP, 2 BB, 2 K: Bryson has been a workhorse of late, pitchingin three games over the past four nights. This is a good sign that the Indians believe that Bryson is healthy. He's certainly earned the appearances. Over his past four games, Bryson has pitched in 6 1/3 innings, giving up only three hits and three walks, while striking out seven.
- Bryce Stowell: RP, Akron: 2 IP, 1 H, 4 K: Bryson and Stowell really are the cream of the crop in Akron right now. Stowell has regained his stature from an impressive 2010 season, and has really shown that he can dominate when he's in the game. He's gone 6 1/3 innings over his last three outings, giving up three hits and two walks, while striking out seven.
- Kinston Indians offense: 3-29, 3 BB, 9 K: The Kinston Indians' offense managed a mammoth three hits and three walks in their last official home game at Historic Grainger Stadium last night. They were blown out 10-0. Not good for a club that is fighting for their playoff lives. They are currently in a virtual tie with Winston-Salem.
- LeVon Washington: LF, Lake County: 2-4, 1 K: Washington had his second two-hit game in three nights, and had two of the four total hits for the Captains.
- Jordan Cooper: SP, Lake County: L (2-9), 7 IP, 8 H, 2 R/ER, 1 BB, 4 K: Cooper has lost four straight starts, but didn't deserve this one.
- Bryson Myles: RF, Mahoning Valley: 2-4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB: Myles continues to terrorize New York/Penn pitching with his second straight two-hit, two run ballgame. The only difference between last night's game, and the one before...was a triple instead of a double. There's no tapering off for the Scrappers' right fielder.
- Jordan Smith: 3B, Mahoning Valley: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K: Smith has been in a free fall offensively since starting the year off hitting around .350. He's only 6-for-39 in his last ten games.

The battle for self-managed super funds is heating up as
AXA, which was acquired by AMP earlier this year, has launched a new licensee service, SMSF Advice, and is scouting the industry for accountants who may want to join the brand and provide advice to do-it-yourself super funds.
"We intend to go out and recruit financial planner-based accountants or accountants who are already in public practice and who want to be under the AXA brand," AXA national development manager for SMSF Advice Kath Bowler said. "We have actually had a lot of interest from within our market."
It is estimated that of the 460,000 funds in operation, 84 per cent use an accountant and only a small percentage use a financial planner.
AXA's new service comes just over a month after CBA agreed to acquire financial planning and accountancy firm
Large financial institutions are increasingly on the hunt for accountants or accountancy-based financial planners, which is fuelling industry concerns about the impact that may have on the accounting profession and the level of independent advice provided to clients.
"I don't think it is the death of the suburban accountant but it certainly means that some of the larger firms are looking to further protect their future business," said CPA Australia head of business and investment policy Paul Drum.
SMSF Advice, which as been in development for 18 months, in effect allows fund manager AMP to build on its presence in DIY super – the fastest growing sector in retirement savings with 30,000 funds established each year.
Andrea Slattery, chief executive of industry group the Self Managed Super Fund Professionals' Association (SPAA), welcomed AXA's SMSF licensing service and said she believed more would follow.
Accountants are now only allowed to provide advice to people wanting to set up a SMSF under an exemption in the Financial Services Reform Act.
But as part of reforms to the financial advice industry, the federal government has proposed allowing accountants to provide basic financial advice to DIY funds if they hold a licence or are authorised through another licence holder.
CPA Australia has urged accountants to hold off on signing up with new licensees until more is known about the scope of advice that accountants can provide.
"We are saying think twice and look before you leap because the government's policy settings regarding the removal of the accountants' exemption is yet to be finalised," Mr Drum said.
Details on the accountant's exemption are expected to be made clearer over the next two weeks when the third tranche of draft legislation on the Future of Financial Advice reforms is released.
AXA's SMSF Advice service will cover three options for accountants, from basic set-up advice to comprehensive and product-related advice. The latter will be more expensive. "Advisers who join SMSF Advice will only be charged a flat fee and in turn they have to charge their clients a fee in line with their professional standards," Ms Bowlers said.
The service allows AXA to build on its SMSF offering after it acquired administration firm Multiport in 2009.

Most beginning poets don't have to face ravenous public curiosity about their private lives and past histories. Frieda Hughes should be so fortunate. The dust-jacket blurb on her first book of poems, Wooroloo (HarperFlamingo; $20), alludes delicately to the author's "unusual literary pedigree," which only fires curiosity while pretending to discourage it. For Frieda Hughes is the daughter of Ted Hughes, Britain's current poet laureate, and Sylvia Plath, whose stunning confessional poems written just before her 1963 suicide made her posthumously famous and, to many, a martyr-saint in the bargain. The Hughes-Plath story has fueled numerous books and endless, usually acrimonious,...

I'm planning to buy Fractal Design Define R4 case and
Corsair H80i to replace my old antec 902 v1 case(or not).
I was wondering for setting up the h80i, where would be the best position for the fans in the case for better performance?
I might remove the top two sound damping materials for two fans but that's my 2nd option, cause I want to have the silent noise possible when gaming as well as better cooling..
So what would you guys recommend for this computer case?
Topic URL: http://forums.ncix.com/forums/topic.php?id=2578608
I have the old Corsair H80. Recommends you to intake fresh air and disperse it in the case, case temps won't be that bad doing so, might raise a few degrees under really heavy CPU load in exchange for better CPU temperatures.
Just have some airflow coming and you'll be far from danger. The fans that come with the regular H80 sounds like a jet engine, the H80i being a little better. I strongly recommend you use a pair of Scythe Gentle Typhoons's in push-pull.
i agree with coca cola guy except fan choice... go with either noctua or corsair sp fans
You are better off with Noctua NH-D14 or Phanteks PH-TC14PE over an H80i
You don't need to swap the fans on them either, but if you wanted to, Thermalright TY-14 is your best bet.
Going to agree with AEO on this one. I have the H80 and were I to do over again I'd go with either of the two he suggested.

Her desire led to a marriage of two of her passions and a company that offers wholesome dog treats made with safe, local ingredients. The gluten and corn free treats have no added salt or sugar.
Hitesman began making treats for her own dogs, then expanded into making treats for others. She said she is a big proponent of the local food movement and wanted people to have local options to give their pets. Using fresh, local ingredients from small farms and businesses helps ensure a safe, quality product for pets, Hitesman said.
Besides Hudson Farmers Market, Baked Earth products can be found at the Countryside Conservancy Farmer's Markets at Howe Meadow and Highland Square, Red Rock Farmer's Market in Aurora, Gervasi Farmer's Market in North Canton and at Trigo's Artisan Bakery in Cuyahoga Falls.
Bring your pup to the market this weekend to find a new favorite treat. Check out Baked Earth at www.bakedearthdog.com or on Facebook at Facebook.com/bakedearth. Call Hitesman at 330-280-0411 or email email@example.com.

IBM's latest filing in the SCO case looks particularly damning; it may finally be curtains for SCO. But even if the judge dismisses the suit tomorrow, Linux customers won't be able to rest easy. As Bruce Perens reminds us, the Microsoft/Novell partnership has brought a host of new intellectual property issues to bear. And so, the cold war between Microsoft and open source software lumbers on into another year.
As with the real Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the chief instruments of this conflict are fear and intimidation. So long as the threat of lawsuits looms, customers will hesitate before deploying open source.
Indemnification is the "missile defense" of this cold war. Customers expect open source companies to offer them immunity from intellectual property lawsuits that might result from the use of their software. But is this really a promise the vendors can make?
The concept of indemnification is insidious. Rather than assuaging fears, it actually contributes to them because the risks involved are so vague. Who might file a lawsuit? What code will be involved? What sums will be named? What other companies might step up to defend against it? What will be the long-term implications of the suit? And given so many unknowns, how can you budget for indemnification? How much security are you really getting for your money?
This quandary leads to a chilling effect, as befits a cold war. The primary beneficiary is the proprietary software industry. If the specter of the courts sends open source customers chasing their own tails in search of indemnification, Microsoft couldn't be happier.
The problem is, when you bring fear and uncertainty to bear on the open source market, you also stifle creativity and innovation. Open source is a wellspring of code that has benefited the entire software industry -- including those who now seek to quell it.
I'm reminded of a recent ad campaign by Chevron, which touches on geopolitics in the post-Cold War era. "There are 193 countries in the world," reads the ad. "None of them are energy independent." While it's true that the majority of the world's nations must rely on the few who won the "geological lottery" for their fossil fuels, even the largest oil-producing nations import gasoline, for example.
Software is in a similar situation. A few giant vendors produce key software for the majority of computers in use today. But at the opposite end of the spectrum, independent developers and hobbyists have made significant contributions in their own right. In between are countless other ISVs of varying sizes. And all that code is constantly intermingling, moving hand to hand, each piece of software complementing the others.
Just as most open source developers use some proprietary software, somewhere, I doubt you'll find a single proprietary software vendor that doesn't deploy open source behind the scenes, whether it's an open source database, a source code version control system, or a Web server. Sometimes open source code actually becomes part of proprietary products.
Seen in this light, the software industry's adversity toward open source is largely a figment of marketing. In reality, the two share a symbiotic relationship. The ongoing conflict between them, like the Cold War, is a wasteful exercise that diverts untold resources away from worthwhile goals, such as fighting disease, bridging the digital divide, and improving quality of life.
In this software cold war, there are two sides. One represents entrepreneurship, cooperation, and the free exchange of ideas and resources. The other is a totalitarian monoculture that does everything in its power to keep customers under its control. This, too, resembles the real Cold War -- and we know how that conflict ended.
With its dogged defense against SCO, IBM has proven that open source will continue no matter how many legal hurdles are thrown in its path. Microsoft should take the hint. It's time for détente.

Just as the "Days Without An Arrest" meter was preparing to make a rare trip into the twenties, Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips has reset the thing to double zero.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Phillips was "cited" on Saturday for allegedly busting in the face a security guard at a rooftop bar.
Phillips has been charged with misdemeanor battery.
It's the second allegation of battery against Phillips this month. A security guard at another club claims that Phillips choked and punched him on April 11.
Phillips has professed his innocence, calling both incidents "misunderstandings."
"There is video of the whole thing, and it won't show me anywhere in the vicinity," Phillips said.
He also seems to think it's significant that he didn't do a perp walk. "You don't see me in handcuffs, don't see me in the back of a police car," Phillips said.
Yeah, but he has been cited for misdemeanor battery. And that's enough of an incident to re-set the meter.
Shaun Phillips Cited For Battery
Just as the "Days Without An Arrest" meter was preparing to make a rare trip into the twenties, Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips has reset the thing to double zero.

So reset it then…
Favre2012 says: Apr 27, 2009 5:30 PM
Did he get cited or arrested? If he got cited, that's the same as a speeding ticket. And that's a lot different than getting arrested.
If he didn't get a mug shot, it shouldn't re-set the meter.
WorldChampionBears2008 says: Apr 27, 2009 5:32 PM
According to Florio just talking to a police officer on the street in reason enough to reset the arrest meter or whatever.
Sidenote: I guess the Chargers knew something we didn't when they drafted Larry English in the 1st round. People were thinking Merriman maybe its Phillips.
Phyxsius says: Apr 27, 2009 5:48 PM

As a resident of San Diego, an occasional frequenter of San Diego bars . . . and a patron who has never understood how being morbidly obese makes you a formidable bouncer . . . I defy any male here to show me a club bouncer who DIDN'T deserve to get his face busted in.
clintdogg says: Apr 27, 2009 6:33 PM
A citation for a misdemeanor is not the same as a speeding ticket. If you're going to call someone out on being wrong, make sure you are right. You have to go to court, and may face probation, anger management, and alcohol counseling if drinking was involved.
Also, re-read the rules of the TurdWatch program Florio runs. http://www.profootballtalk.com/turd-watch/
Misdemeanor citations count regardless of conviction, but convictions count for even more.
redwards says: Apr 27, 2009 7:13 PM
Yeah, uhh… that's not an arrest.
Raging Clue says: Apr 27, 2009 7:56 PM
I really hope you're not a criminal defense attorney, Florio. I have a feeling your opening statement in court would sound something like:
"Your honor, my client has been arrested and charged with a crime; is that not evidence enough of his guilt?"

norcaldiscgolf1 says: Apr 27, 2009 11:52 PM
its the offseason and he is young
I have no problem with this without knowing the story
If the guard deserved it then he had it coming if not then he would have been arrested instead of citing
I also read that the guard has since been fired… certainly leans toward Phillips being in the right (although the 2nd offense in a month certainly does not… wrong place wrong time? coincidence? probably not but benefit of the doubt)

BOSTON (Reuters) - There has been an upsurge in use of the phrase "does that make sense?" to solicit feedback during presentations, but there has to be a better way, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (http:\\www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"Presenters often use the phrase 'Does that make sense?' to gauge audience understanding. But this can convey a speaker's uncertainty and signals that the audience might not comprehend or appreciate the content.
To be an effective speaker, eliminate useless words and phrases like this one.
Since you often include them unconsciously, record your next speech (try the voice record function on your smart phone). Play it back and listen for where you added fillers.
Repeat this process several times and soon enough you'll start correcting yourself. And if you want to check whether your material is getting through, try the more concrete 'Do you have any questions?' instead."

Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 19, 2008
Ball Aerospace and Technologies's Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Protoflight Model (PFM) that will fly aboard the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Preparatory Project (NPP) has entered final integration and acceptance testing.
Ball Aerospace expects to complete integration and testing in August, and deliver the OMPS PFM for spacecraft integration no later than September
30. OMPS is one of five sensors built for the NPP risk reduction mission, scheduled to launch in 2010.
The NPP mission, a joint effort between NASA and the NPOESS Integrated Program Office, is designed to extend key measurements in support of long-term climate trend monitoring and global biological productivity and prove technologies for the NPOESS mission.
Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor for NPOESS, leading the effort to design, develop and launch the next generation low-Earth orbiting operational environmental monitoring system.
Initial assembly has also begun on the OMPS Flight Model 2 for the first NPOESS spacecraft. Nadir sensor fabrication is well underway with both focal planes complete and fabrication of the main electronics box has begun.
The OMPS FM2 delivery is scheduled for December 2010, in preparation for the NPOESS launch scheduled for 2013.
OMPS will monitor ozone from space, collect total column and vertical profile ozone data, and continue the current daily global data provided by the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet radiometer (SBUV)/2 and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), but with higher fidelity.
Ball Aerospace is also building the NPP spacecraft, a modified Ball Commercial Platform (BCP) 2000 under a contract to the Goddard Space Flight Center Rapid Spacecraft Development Office.

text: Industry Voices IMHO: "Starting" Points July 11, 2011 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - You may have missed it, but there was a bit of a "dust up" in our industry last week. By Nevin E. Adams | July 11, 2011 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article It started on July 7 when TheWall Street Journal ran a front-page story titled "401(k) Law Suppresses Saving for Retirement" (a story that is still, as I write on Saturday morning, on WSJ.com's most popular listing). And, no, that article wasn't talking about discrimination testing rules, the imposition of annual contribution limits, talk of a mandatory limit on loans, or the imposition of mandatory annuitization of distributions. Rather, it was talking about…automatic enrollment. The report claimed that "40% of new hires at companies with automatic enrollments are socking away less money than they would if left to enroll voluntarily," citing data from the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). The problem, according to the report, was that "[m]ore than two-thirds of companies set contribution rates at 3% of salary or less, unless an employee chooses otherwise." Well, duh. That, as they say, is the law. EBRI quickly took issue with the WSJ's characterizations, outlining in some detail the non-partisan group's extensive history in examining these trends, and then noted that "The Wall Street Journal article reported only the most pessimistic set of assumptions," failing to "cite any of the other 15 combinations of assumptions reported in the study" referenced in the report. More significantly, EBRI's Jack VanDerhei commented later that same day that the WSJ managed to completely ignore the reality that automatic enrollment is "increasing savings for many more—especially the lowest-income 401(k) participants." Now, while EBRI was, IMHO, rightly miffed to see its data and analysis mis-, or perhaps less-than-fully, represented, the authors of the Pension Protection Act were no less maligned. The law was designed to help more employers make it easier for more employees to become participants, and for those participants to become more-effective retirement savers, and it seems to me that, in just about every way, it has been a huge success. Are there those who once might have filled out an enrollment form and opted for a higher rate of deferral (say to the full level of match) that now take the "easy" way and allow themselves to be automatically enrolled at the lower rate called for by the PPA? Absolutely. However, as the EBRI data show—and, for anyone paying attention, have shown for years now—the folks most likely to be disadvantaged by that choice are higher-income workers, most of whom, IMHO, should know better.

What up?
Jak II is going well. According to the game I am 58% complete at about 16 hours of game time. I would probably be further (or finished by now), but alas, something else has been eating my time. That something else is a brand new PS3 and inFamous 2. The lack of new games for Wii and an attractive price swayed my decision to jump in and become a multi-system owner this generation, and I couldn't be happier. So happy, in fact, that I want to finish inFamous 2 as soon as I can. I am just having too much fun with that game.
I've also decided to start plowing through Super Mario Galaxy 2, and yeah, it's harder than the first Galaxy, but the sense of accomplishment when you finally snag a not-so-easy-star is always awesome. Galaxy 2 deserves all the praise it gets and more. I doubt I will ever get all 242 stars,but hope springs eternal. As of this writing I have 28 stars through about 8-9 hours of game time.
So to recap my current play-throughs:
- PS2: Jak II
- Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2
- PS3: inFamous 2
What are you playing?

SPORTS >> Lady Rabbits grab district title
Leader sportswriter
BATESVILLE Want to spice up an already bitter rivalry?
Just put a little hardware on the line.
The Lonoke Lady Jackrabbits put up one of their best defensive efforts of the year in a 47-35 win over Bald Knob to capture the 2-4A district championship on Saturday at SHS Southerner gymnasium. The Lady Bulldogs swept Lonoke (21-7) during the regular season, but struggled to find any offense in the third meeting other than senior post Brittany Fulks 13-point, nine-rebound performance.
The win gives the Lady Jackrabbits a No. 1 seed heading into this weeks 4A East Region tournament at Heber Springs. Lonoke will take on 3-4A No. 4 seed Trumann today at 4 p.m.
We have a lot of respect for them, but I guess its like the old days of Texas and Arkansas, said Lady Jackrabbits coach Nathan Morris, of Bald Knob. We have a genuine dislike for each other because they are our rivals. Not that were wishing anything bad on them, we just dont like them that much. You can tell by all the close games and the fan support that both teams have, and we are consistently playing each other with a lot on the line.
Lonoke had plenty of offense for the task, just not from any of the usual suspects. It was junior point guard Michaela Brown that led the way for the Lady Rabs with 17 points, four assists and three steals, eclipsing the normal point generators of Asiah Scribner, Cara Neighbors and junior guard Ashleigh Himstedt.
The trio still finished with good numbers. Neighbors had nine points, six rebounds and four steals. Scribner had seven points and 10 rebounds, while Himstedt chipped in six points. But perhaps the biggest story in the game was who didnt produce for Bald Knob.
All-state senior guard Phagen Altom struggled to reach double digits in the second game between the two teams, and fell short on Saturday. All of Altoms eight points for the game came at the foul line. She was 8 of 10 at the stripe, 0 of 4 from the floor.
We did a great job of defending, said Morris. We didnt give up any easy baskets. We took them on man-to-man, and did as good a job as we have done all year.
At 5-6, Brown was one of the smallest players on the court, but played bigger than everyone. Besides her stellar defensive work against Altom, her biggest offensive play of the game with 1:20 left to play killed momentum during Bald Knobs biggest run when she drove the paint and floated to the basket for a side-arm shot that gave Lonoke a 43-35 lead.
The Lady Bulldogs began to find Fulks inside to start the fourth quarter. She cut a 40-25 lead at the end of the third with two free throws, followed by a three-point play that made it a 10-point game with 7:03 left. A free throw by Scribner at the 4:59 mark served as Lonokes only point in the fourth quarter until Browns strong move late.
That put momentum back on the Lady Rabbits side, as Himstedt caused a steal that was picked up by Neighbors on the ensuing BK possession. She converted for two, and Erin Shoemaker put it away with 47 seconds left following a Lady Bulldog miss with a basket assisted by Brown that made it 45-35. Brown and Scribner each tacked on a free throw from there to set the final score.
That kid came to play, Morris said. On both ends, offense and defense. She kept Altom from getting in the lane too many times and frustrated her. She got to the basket, opened things up. I cant say enough about her game. Seventeen points, thats like Asiah or Cara scoring 30.
Brown wasted no time showing her hand, putting Lonoke up 2-0 on a jumper to start the game, and a three-pointer moments later to up the advantage to five. She struck again at the 1:41 mark with a basket that gave the Lady Rabbits a 10-4 lead.
She hit another from long distance to start the second quarter, and senior Lauren Harper backed Brown up at the 5:13 mark with a trey that gave Lonoke a 17-13 lead.
Brown then ended the first half the same way she started it, with a strong move to the basket to give the Lady Jackrabbits a 26-19 lead at intermission.
The Lady Jackrabbits finished 15 of 35 from the floor, and 3 of 6 behind the three-point line. They were 14 of 29 at the foul line, and had nine turnovers. Bald Knob was 9 of 29 from the field and 1 of 11 on three-point attempts and had 14 turnovers for the game.

The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is the most widely used security protocol on the Internet. It supports negotiation of a wide variety of cryptographic primitives through different cipher suites, various modes of client authentication, and additional features such as session resumption and renegotiation. Despite its widespread use, only recently has the full TLS protocol been proven secure, and only then a single ciphersuite family (TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA) with no additional features. These additional features have been the cause of practical attacks on TLS. In 2009, Ray and Dispensa demonstrated how TLS renegotiation allows an attacker to splice together its own session with that of a victim, resulting in a man-in-the-middle attack on TLS-reliant applications such as HTTP. TLS was subsequently patched with two defence mechanisms for protection against this attack.
We present the first formal treatment of renegotiation in secure channel establishment protocols. We add optional renegotiation to the authenticated and confidential channel establishment model of Jager et al., an adaptation of the Bellare--Rogaway authenticated key exchange model. We describe the attack of Ray and Dispensa on TLS within our model. Although the two proposed fixes for TLS do not achieve our strongest notion of security, they do achieve a weaker but still reasonable security notion, and TLS can be easily adjusted to achieve that stronger level of security.

Salty brew
Churches making their own beer is not a new phenomenon, as this reader can attest, having spotted some in Utah
Sir, On reading the piece on churches brewing their own beer ("Struggling churches turn to drink and ask: what would Jesus brew?" Mar 12) I was reminded that on a recent holiday to Utah I came across a local, Salt Lake City, brew called Polygamy Porter with the provocative slogan "Why have just one!". However, I don't think this was sponsored by the Mormon community.

Handmade Boho Chic Home Decor is the New Craze
Boho chic is one of the hottest new trends in decorating. It incorporates an eclectic mix of styles, colors and patterns to create a warm and laid back look. While bohemian used to be the realm of hippies from the 60′s, today's generation of millennials are flocking to this style.
Ancient Fabric Techniques
One of the most popular forms of fabric dying techniques is Shibori. This type of dying has been around for thousands of years. Originally it was developed by the Japanese using indigo. Tie dye is a similar style of fabric dying. The fabric designer places string, twine, rope, or even rubber bands around the fabric at strategic locations. This part of the fabric is then dipped in dye for a specific amount of time. Once it's allowed to dry, the restrictions are removed and the fabric takes on interesting shapes and patterns due to the way in which it was tied.
While the Japanese used only indigo in this technique, it's possible to use a wide variety of colors and dying materials to achieve the look you want.
Handmade Custom Pieces
One great thing about the Internet is that it has provided a storefront for thousands of entrepreneurial individuals who make these sorts of items at home. If you're looking for something in a particular style or color and are having trouble finding exactly what you're looking for, you can actually solicit bids from designers. They can then custom make the piece you want to match the look of your room.
Keep in mind that bohemian home decor doesn't have to match exactly. That's the whole idea behind the movement.
One Artist in Particular
One such store in which you can find these sorts of goods is the Tangled Path. This artist is continuously producing new pieces that personify the boho chic look. She makes everything from Shibori pillows to custom handmade gold napkins. All of her products are available on her website http://thetangledpath.com. Be sure to check out some of her work.
They will be the perfect compliment to your boho chic room decor.

Keeping Your Kitchen Knives Sharp
Now that the holidays are past, many people are in the midst of learning how to use the gifts they received. For those that enjoy spending time in the kitchen, you know that keeping your knives sharp is essential to maintaining their life as well as keeping them safe to use.
And if you received a knife sharpener for Christmas, there are a few things you should know before attempting to use it.
Your Knives
First and foremost you need to verify that your knives are compatible with the sharpener you received. Western style knives and Japanese style knives are not only very different in their design, they are also very expensive. And not knowing which type you have can cause considerable damage to the blade.
Let's start by taking a look at Japanese style knives. These kitchen knives are designed with an edge on only one side. Additionally the blade angle is much steeper. Usually a Japanese-style blade will be somewhere around 11-15 degrees.
Because of the steeper angle, most blades are made of considerably harder steel than their Western counterparts. And when it comes to sharpening these blades, there are some definite differences.
Most importantly, a Japanese knife is ONLY sharpened on one side of the blade. If you run it through a sharpener on both sides, it will severely damage the blade. At this point you'll most likely need to have it repaired by a professional.
Secondly, you need to ensure the sharpener that you choose is capable of working on Japanese knives with their steep blade angles. Electric knife sharpener reviews are available on a multitude of websites. You want to match as closely as possible the blade angle from the factory.
Western Style Knives
Western style kitchen knives are designed with a bevel on both sides of the blade. The angle on each side is steeper than that of a Japanese style knife, but in combination they are higher overall by about 10 degrees. This means that Western style knives are generally not quite as sharp.
While they may not be as sharp, they do tend to be more durable. This is especially the case in the hands of amateur chef's who may not be properly educated on knife use and care.
Western style knives use a softer steel, so the blade is more prone to nicks and damage when used improperly. But these sorts of imperfections are easy to repair because of the softer nature of the steel.
When sharpening a Western-style knife, you need to sharpen both sides of the blade. In most cases, this means turning the sharpener around, although some modes do have notches for both sides of the blade.
If you're interested in learning more about the differences between Western and Japanese style knives, here is a great article that explains everything you need to know.
Follow Instructions
While many knife sharpening professionals maintain that sharpening stones are the best way to sharpen any knife, for the amateur cook the process of learning to use a sharpening stone can be very tedious and time consuming. You can also cause damage to your blades if the stones are used improperly.
Most damage to knives caused by sharpening systems is due to user error. The instructions included with any sharpener are very clear, and should be followed closely. This will insure that you can quickly and easily keep your knives in top condition.
If you don't actually have a knife sharpener yet, Make It Sharp has a great guide for selecting the perfect model for your needs.

A New Diet for the New Year
Far and a way the most popular New Years Resolution year in and year out is the choice to lose weight and get in shape. Unfortunately for 90% of people that make this their resolution it ends up in failure. But there is a very simple explanation for this.
The Problems with Most Diets
The biggest problem with most diets is that they rely upon calorie restriction to lose help people lose weight. The results from calorie restriction are often very encouraging in the short term. Most individuals will see results within a week of starting such a diet.
Weight loss can occur relatively quickly for the first couple of weeks. But this is often as far as many people get. This is the point at which the body's natural instincts kick in. Cravings for high carbohydrate and high calorie foods are a first sign that this is occurring.
Once this happens, most people quickly give in to the cravings and then the diet is over.
A Better Alternative
Enter the Paleo diet. A diet in the traditional since, or at least in America, has come to mean a dramatic shift in eating habits in an attempt to lose weight. Historically, diet has meant the foods one consumes on a regular basis. This can vary greatly depending on where you are from. But it has more to do with food that is available in your environment that makes up the majority of your calories.
The Paleo diet consists of foods that humans ate during the Paleolithic era. Modern processed foods are the first things to be discarded when you choose this lifestyle. Another staple of the modern human diet, wheat, is also a no no on the Paleo diet.
Humans only began eating wheat within the last 12,000 years, and while that may seem like a long time, on the evolutionary timeline it's actually quite brief. And as a result, our bodies haven't yet adapted to eating wheat and other grains. And any number of health issues can be related back to wheat and other grain consumption.
In fact, our bodies were designed to operate on FAR fewer carbohydrates than we consume in our modern diet. Fats and proteins made up the majority of our calories for hundreds of thousands of years. But modern nutrition has turned fat into a boogeyman. But it is the most efficient source of energy in nature.
What to Eat On the Paleo Diet
If you decide to give the Paleo diet a try, here are some of the things you can look forward to. First and foremost is satiation. Fats, proteins, and leafy green proteins make you full. And not just in the short term. Fats take a long time to digest, and therefore make you feel full longer.
They also cause the release of hormones that control hunger. That's why you'll see so many high fat meals in a Paleo cookbook. And while treats and desserts shouldn't play a huge role in a Paleo style diet those that you will find typically have a decent amount of healthy fats in them. Check out this page on Amazon.com for a good example of Paleo treats.
Those particular cookies are from Gourmet Paleo. This company makes treats that conform to those living the Paleo lifestyle.
But the basis of the diet is healthy grass-fed beef, wild-caught fish, pasture raised pork, and free range chickens. Eggs, including the yolk, are good for you and should make up a good portion of your weekly calories.
If this sounds too good to be true, you should read more about the Paleo diet at this website. Here you'll find everything you need to know about what you should and shouldn't be eating to lose weight, become healthier, and feel better all around.
Another great resource is Marks Daily Apple. Mark Sisson is a pioneer of not only eating, but living the Paleo lifestyle.
The best part about this particular diet is that it satisfies your cravings by having you eat the foods that your body needs to thrive. It makes it by far the easiest diet to maintain of anything that's out there. Give it a try. You'll love it.…

Fitness and Nutrition Article Writing
These days there are literally hundreds of thousands of blogs and websites dedicated to nutrition, exercise, and diet. Much of this is due to the general explosion of blogs and other methods of voicing one's self online. One of the benefits of this recent phenomenon is the proliferation of excellent writers and great content.
True there is still a lot of garbage out there. And you certainly can't believe everything you read, but there are quite a few amazing, budding writers out there that are well worth the read.
The Paleo Diet
The Paleo diet has experienced a dramatic rise in popularity in recent years. As more and more people are trying it, they are writing about their experiences. The Paleo Mom is a great example. Started by a young mom in Atlanta, Georgia, the Paleo Mom is also a PHD. She suffers from autoimmune difficulties which in turn force her to limit the foods she eats.
For several years she has been posting recipes, ideas, and discussing the causes of her health problems. And in the process she has garnered a loyal following. In fact, she has even signed a book deal. It is due to be released on Christmas Eve of this year.
A closely related subject to the Paleo Diet is CrossFit. This exercise routine has taken the workout world by storm since it was founded by Greg Glassman in 2000. It's currently estimated that there are over 7,000 CrossFit gyms around the world.
And of course this phenomenon has spawned any number of commercial products directly related to CrossFit. All of the major manufacturers are now making shoes for CrossFit, including Nike, Reebok, and Merrell.
You don't even have to be a member of a CrossFit gym (called a 'box' by those in the know), to perform the workouts. Every day, the workout of the day or WOD as it's called is posted on the official website at www.crossfit.com.
Even if you're in pretty decent shape, these workout will push you like nothing before.
And just like with the Paleo diet, bloggers that are passionate about CrossFit have sprung up all over the place. Many have turned them into decent websites with a range of interesting posts and information.
One thing is for certain, the Internet has created a wealth of information from which to read. It offers essentially unlimited viewpoints and opinions, some good, some bad. It gives voice to those who might never had attempted to write otherwise.…

Gray Step I - Horse's Tail
Edges are important in defining what we see. When you lift the rope tail, you see two separate squares, one significantly darker than the other. When the rope tail coveres the edge, you can't tell the difference between the two sides. The two squares are really identical. There is only a difference at the point where they meet-the edge. Each square is shaded lighter to darker, from left to right. In the middle, the dark edge of one square meets the light edge of the other. Your eye concentrates on the boundary and assumes the rest of the square is the same.

The awesome Tami Harris wrote a very interesting piece at Clutch magazine regarding the Bechdel Test, which was created to examine gender bias in media. Tami took this approach one step further to examine the portrayal of people of colour in the media. Tami posed the question: What is the minimum standard for portrayals of people of color?
In the end, she created the following list using suggestions from myself and self and several other bloggers of colour:
- One or more named people of color
- Who talk to each other
- Who don't act in a service capacity (No magical brown people!)
- Who are reflective of their culture and history, but don't communicate that through stereotyped action, such as an affected accent
I think this is a pretty great start towards better characters of colour in the media. I was very inspired reading this. There is absolutely no reason each marginalized group shouldn't have their own list of what constitutes a good portrayal in the media.
When I was TAB, I was not very cognizant of the harmful ableism that happens in the media. It took becoming disabled and living with ableism for me to really open my eyes. Learning about disability is an ongoing project for me, and I know I still fail at times to recognize my own internalized ableism when it comes to people who live with a different disability than I do.
I know that the media informs much of social discourse. Much of the time we passively consume rather than critically consume and this why we internalize a host of problematic messages. This then effects our interactions with others. To borrow a page from Tami's book, what would well rounded disabled characters look like? What do you think the minimum standard for good inclusion should be?

An Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing
Wood, David R. (1998) An Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing. In: Graph Drawing 6th International Symposium, GD' 98, August 13-15, 1998, Montréal, Canada , pp. 332-346 (Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/3-540-37623-2_25).
Full text not available from this repository.
In this paper we present an algorithm for 3-dimensional orthogonal graph drawing based on the movement of vertices from an initial layout along the main diagonal of a cube. For an n-vertex m-edge graph with maximum degree six, the algorithm produces drawings with bounding box volume at most 2.37n^3 and with a total of 7m/3 bends, using no more than 4 bends per edge route. For maximum degree five graphs the bounding box has volume n^3 and each edge route has two bends. These results establish new bounds for 3-dimensional orthogonal graph drawing algorithms and improve on some existing bounds.

Alexander Brickel as Peter Paul, and Sharon Wilkins, one of the
eight actors who play Aviva in Palindromes.
(R) * * * Nova
Todd Solondz's Palindromes begins with an ending: the funeral of Dawn Wiener, the victimised, hapless girl at the centre of his breakthrough film, Welcome to the Dollhouse. The torch of suffering is swiftly passed on to Dawn's 13-year-old cousin, Aviva, who is played by eight different performers, including a child, a young boy, an adult black woman and Jennifer Jason Leigh. She's an all-purpose victim, with misery visited upon her no matter what her age, her size, her race, her gender: most of the performers give the character a consistently lugubrious, barely inflected tone of voice.
Aviva (played by young Emani Sledge), confides in her mother (Ellen Barkin) that she has heard that Dawn killed herself when she became pregnant after a date rape, then declares that she, however, wants to have many children, as soon as possible.
And so (played in her next incarnation by Valerie Shusterov), she becomes pregnant, after having awkward sex with the son of a family friend. Her mother - played as a terrible comic monster of hypocrisy by Barkin - after giving a speech of breathtaking self-justification, insists on taking her daughter to an abortion clinic, where they run the gamut of protesters.
Aviva then runs away and has a succession of misadventures, ending up as a guest of the cheery Mama Sunshine (Debra Monk) and her brood of children with disabilities: here, themes and characters from Aviva's past return to haunt her, and the sinister side of Mama Sunshine's warmth becomes apparent.
Palindromes, as is generally the case with Solondz, draws attention to its own structure with a kind of laborious neatness: it is divided into sections, introduced by a title (in pink or blue) bearing the name of a key character in the scene, someone who has a role to play in Aviva's life or whom Aviva can be identified with.
It moves at a deliberate, narcoleptic pace, allowing us plenty of time to contemplate and consider the strange pageant of misery, ugliness, discomfort, serenity and self-righteousness unfolding in front of us.
Solondz has staked out his own disconcerting cinematic territory, a world of humiliations, horrors, injustices, paradoxes and outrages: once again, there's excruciating agony involved for characters and viewers, as one humiliation upon another is visited upon the multiple Avivas.
There are other times when it's hard to be sure when he is satirising or celebrating his characters.
He's a moralist, of a kind, a crusader against hypocrisy, but in a curious passive-aggressive fashion. And you couldn't accuse Solondz of taking sides in the abortion debate: he revels in the hypocrisies of both camps.
Aviva's name is a palindrome, the same backwards as forwards. Towards the end of the film, a character suggests that life is like that, inevitable and irreversible - and it's the feeling that you get, too, watching Solondz's movies, driven by the dour, obsessive single-mindedness of their maker's intentions.

Removing X3 Headliner?
How hard is it? I have the dreaded roof rail corrosion and am considering removing and repainting the rack myself.
How big a deal is taking out the headliner? I can see that the OH console, mirrors, grabs, etc all need to be detached, and the trim on the pillars removed.
Anyone done it? How long should I budget? (competent amateur mechanic, and i want it to go back together correctly.
Thanks for any help. I have searched for DIYs but haven't found any.
Ottawa, Canada
Hi Greg , I know I have seen a couple of people have done this, and had hoped they could give you a time frame I havent but I can send you the instructions if you wish ( just too large to post it all here )
So send me a private msg. with your email if you are interested, and Ill try and get it off to you..
This looks like a fun but time consuming job. It includes removal of; both sun visors & supports, all handles, all trim panels from all pillars, trims, & all ceiling lights
Also, tell me if you dont have the panorama sunroof
The rear panel on the panoramic sunroof jammed open on my wife's E83. Could use the same info to remove the headliner - sending you a private message to that effect as well if you still have those instructions available.
I'm in Ottawa as well and I am looking to remove mine. My mechanic said that it would be a couple hour job. So I'm assuming around $200 to have them removed.
If you happen to get it done prior to me let me know. I have that rust as well. I'm looking at taking them off and leaving them off.
do you guys still have the instruction on how to remove the headliner?
...and,in addition,with the roof rails installation? thank you
Hi John,
New to the forum, but wondering if you still had a copy of the directions to remove the headliner. Have had some nasty issues with the pano-roof and would like to get access to the track.
Really appreciate any help,
Hi Tyler, p/msg received & sent you what I have...good luck, John
Check this web site out for instructions.
Good luck.
Front Head liner
Says you can't remove the front head restraints/rests, but there must be a way? Anyone done this, if so thoughts?
Please send me the headliner removal instructions also
It's not very difficult.. I removed rear to get access to shark fin, all pilar covers have to come off. There are two screws holding each of oh sit handles, with each screw hidden with a snap in cover. Those things were a bit of a pain, but once you get first one out, it is simple. There is usually a Torx screw behind Srs bracket. Take your time, it can be removed in under 2 hours..
Headliner instructions
The instructions would be most helpful.
My sunshade is jammed open (panoramic sunroof doesn't work at all, which I knew when I bought the X3). Will removing the headliner allow me to pull the sunshade forward manually?
took out an 04 in~90 mins ....lots of plastic clips need a firm yank just like pulling the bench on the rear seat.....most important thing was an assistant .....when it comes free it's a bit of a large boat sail BUT quite rigid .....just need a good pal to help slide it out so it doesn't get soiled or dinged....be ready with a nice clean spot to lay it down
also ....check the pano roof rear drain lines while at it .....both of these were kinked at about elbow height on a six footer at the rear door .......an electricians fish tape works well to snake down the drain lines for and aft
also ....if the kinks won't stay out you can cut the plastic line either side of the kink and work in a pvc sleeve to provide a full diameter path to drain
Hey John, you still got those instructions? Roof rack is corroding on me now, I'd appreciate some instruction on how to remove the headliner
Ditto please.
Yes, send me a P/M with email and I'll get on it
Hi John, You still have the instructions to remove the X3 headliner? I'd appreciate if you can send me those instructions. firstname.lastname@example.com
good FEST headliner/sun shade links
