Real Estate
Choosing the Right Real Estate Agent
Sandra Stammberger
Buying or selling your house is one of the most important financial decisions you will have to make. It is very important that you think it through first before deciding.
You can either buy or sell the house yourself or you can hire a real estate agent to do the work for you.
What is a Real Estate Agent?
Real estate agents are salespersons. They are licensed people who work to negotiate and manage real estate sales.
Choose a Good Real Estate Agent.
People usually use real estate agents to sell their house instead of buying one. You basically do not need a real estate agent when you are buying a house but they can be helpful if you are interested in looking for a specific kind of house. A good real estate agent can spend a lot of time in the field to look for a house that you specified.
Before hiring a real estate agent, keep in mind that there are good real estate agents that are willing to work with you and there are the bad real estate agents that are only interested in your money.
You should also interview real estate agents in person to get the feel if you are comfortable with them or not. Personal interviews can determine if they are serious about the business or just in it for the money.
Try to get recommendations first from family and friends, and then locate their recommendations to set up your interview. You can also look for real estate agents in the internet.
Good real estate agents are committed people who try their best to get you the best deal possible. They should advise you about the real estate laws and tell you about the neighborhood the house you are buying is located. They will usually include details like schools, parks, malls, church and more essential for people's everyday lives.
Here are examples of bad real estate agents:
• A bad real estate agent would get easily irritated if you rejected the first house they present to you. It would look like they are only interested to get the commissions than giving you more criteria for a house.
• Another example of it is that bad real estate agents are the ones who require a fee before they even start to show you the houses. This fee is used to guarantee themselves that the buyer is will only buy a house through them.
Here are examples of good real estate agents:
• A good real estate are often patient when you reject a house after the other. This would mean professionalism and can mean that they want you to have the best deal possible.
• Another way to determine if you hired a good real estate agent to sell your house is that they make the house look presentable as possible. They do what they can to sell the house as soon as possible and looks everywhere for prospective buyers.
To choose real estate agents, ask people about the agent's reputation. They should have a lot of success in selling houses with the best deal possible. Keep in mind that good real estate agents have many houses listed. Bad ones may only have only few houses listed. Look in your local home classified magazines about the listing of houses.
Do not rush in to hire real estate agents. Take your time and you will find excellent real estate agents to work for you more efficiently. Remember that buying or selling a house is one of the biggest and important decisions you will ever make.

A Denver TV anchor who was severely bitten on the face by a dog during a live interview says she "lucked out" with the results of extensive plastic surgery.
Kyle Dyer tells her KUSA-TV morning co-anchor that she didn't realize the extent of the injury for two days.
"I was so out of it. You and the viewers knew what was going on with me before I knew. It's just driving me crazy," she says. "The problem was the lip. I didn't have one. Plastic surgery also puts a face back together and that's what I needed.
Dyer, in a separate interview, tells The Denver Post that the slash to her nose has almost healed and that she will get the last 20 stitches out today.
She still has scars above her mouth where skin grafted from her lower lip was formed into a new upper lip.
Dyle won't know until summer whether more surgeries are needed.
"I really lucked out," she tells the newspaper.
Dyer was bitten Feb. 8 while doing a follow-up story about an Argentine mastiff that had been rescued from an icy lake the day before.
When she leaned in close, the dog bit her on the lip. Video of the incident quickly circulated on the Internet.
"It was a fluke, it happened," she tells The Post. "It could have been so much worse. Not once was I afraid or scared. Yeah, it hurt, but having a baby hurt more."

Angelina Jolie's LAX Landing with Shiloh & Zahara
Fresh off of a long overseas day in the sky, Angelina Jolie touched down in the States with Shiloh and Zahara on Thursday afternoon (March 15).
The 36-year-old actress eased through the crowded terminal at LAX Airport in Los Angeles with her adorable daughters both toting giant stuffed teddy bears.
Having flown in from Amsterdam, Angelina made the trip to Europe to sit in the public gallery at The Hague International Criminal Court as Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga was convicted of kidnapping and forcing children to fight for his rebel army.
Happy to hear the guilty verdict, Jolie told press, "This is their day. Where these children will feel there is no impunity for what happened to them, for what they suffered."
Enjoy the pictures of Angelina Jolie arriving on a flight from Amsterdam at LAX Airport with her daughters Shiloh and Zahara (March 15).

An Ideal for Living : Peter Saville & Raf Simons
Peter Saville and Raf Simons speak about their takes on the Interzone in a new Dazed film
- TextIsabella Burley
- FilmCarlos Carneiro
- FilmJulien Pujol
In an exclusive new film shot during Raf Simons SS14 show at the Gagosian gallery in Paris, graphic design legend Peter Saville – best known for the visual identity of Factory Records – and Belgian fashion designer and creative director of Dior Raf Simons speak openly. Having spent their lives plotting the in-between space dividing design and high art, pop and modernism, fashion and music, the duo began working together in 2003 when Raf used images from Peter's archive in his AW03 collection. Here, these two giants of late 20th, early 21st century design talk about the term 'interzone' – the word popularised by Peter's friends Joy Division (and William Burroughs) about the liminal place they merrily plumb. As the fashion world recovers from Raf's defining SS14 statement last week, we hope you enjoy this short film.

I receive a lot of end-of-year wrap ups, threat studies and infosec prediction press releases in my inbox this time of year. As my colleague Bill Brenner has already mentioned many times in his Salted Hash blog, these often contain little new information and are mostly a rehash of what we've seen the previous year. While I often skip over them for meatier news items, I do read some.
Today, I came across a fairly disturbing stat while reviewing some new research from Kaspersky Lab: approximately 1/3 of the IT department in many organizations lack even a basic knowledge of security and the particular threats they are up against.
Kaspersky, in partnership with B2B International, has conducted a survey twice in two years that covers IT professionals working for large and medium-sized businesses. The aim of the annual survey is to find out what IT specialists think of corporate security solutions, to ascertain their level of knowledge about current threats, the sort of problems they most often face and their ability to evaluate the risks associated with cyber-threats, etc.
Kaspersky said the sample includes more than 3,300 senior IT professionals from 22 countries. All respondents had an influence on IT security policy, and a good knowledge of both IT security issues and general business matters (finance, HR, etc.). Globally, respondents were drawn from companies of three sizes: Small Business (SB, 10-99 computerized seats), Medium Business (MB, 100-999 seats) and Enterprise Organization (E, 1000+ seats).
Diving a bit deeper into the research, a summary of the study says:
The survey revealed that 31 percent of IT professionals have not heard of any of the most common cyber-threats, including those targeting the corporate sector. It turned out that only 31 percent of respondents were aware of SpyEye and Zeus, while Duqu went largely unnoticed – only 13 percent of those surveyed having heard of the computer worm. It should be noted that nearly half of those who have heard about these threats consider them a danger to their business. However, the general cyber-threat awareness of the modern IT professional leaves much to be desired.
I find this particularly intriguing because the research goes on to say that preventing IT security breaches was the top concern for IT professionals surveyed! Among those polled, 31 percent said preventing security breaches is the biggest worry. Other top responses included data protection (another security concern) at 27 percent and, also, ensuring IT systems are used fully to maximize IT infrastructure ROI at 23 percent.
Clearly security is on the minds of IT. So, if these folks are so concerned about their organization's security – and worried they might be breached – why are so many still unaware of some of the most well-known, highly-publicized threats out there?
This next set of stats helps us understand why: The research finds 44 percent of respondents indicated budget constraints are an obstacle to tighter security within their organization. And 37 percent cited a significant degree of misunderstanding of IT security issues among those in charge of the purse strings. Insufficient numbers of trained personnel to deal with IT threats is the third most cited problem (that must be that percentage that has no idea that Zeus is something other than a Greek mythological character).
Are you surprised by these numbers?

This Is What Happens When You Mate Tyra Banks With A Nipple
Whoopee, tonight is the premiere of "America's Next Top Model" Cycle 19! The college edition, or something. I really hope Tyra has some new stuff in store. I mean, after 18 seasons, things get stale. Although I have no commentary to offer as of yet, I honor the return of "ANTM" with this genius morphing of Tyra Banks and a nipple. Never would have thought of combining these two, but I'm jealous of the person who thought of it first. This gave me lots of new morphing ideas. Going to MorphThing.com, the site that makes it all possible, to screw around. [Mean Plastic]

Skaters on Donner Lake at risk
January 25, 2013
The Truckee Police Department and the Truckee Fire Protection District have noticed the recent surge in popularity of ice-skating on Donner Lake. This is worrisome, authorities said, because while conditions in the past month have been extremely cold, the current conditions have warmed considerably and the ice is generally unstable. Northern California generally does not have the consistently cold temperatures to sustain ice on area lakes and ponds due to their size and water currents.
The conditions present today on Donner Lake are similar to conditions five years ago, when a skater fell through the ice and drowned. Ice that was generally believed strong and safe was actually thin and weak.
There is no law or ordinance prohibiting ice-skating on a body of water. This is simply a matter of an individual choice and risk.
The fundamental question asked of town authorities is: "Is the ice safe?" Unfortunately, there is no sure answer. The strength of the ice cannot be determined solely by its appearance, age, thickness, temperature, etc. Ice strength is based on a combination of all these factors, with the addition of other variables such as water depth, water body size, water chemistry, currents, local climate, and the actual load per square inch on the ice.
"Ice skating on a lake is an unusual thing to do, and it can be a lot of fun. But for us, the conditions on our local lakes, especially Donner Lake, is just plain dangerous — the ice is not stable," said Truckee Police Department Dive Team Supervisor Sergeant Jason Litchie.
"We agree," said Truckee Fire Protection District Captain Paul Spencer. "We have had numerous ice-related incidents and fatalities at our area lakes over the years, and we have areas of open water not far off shore. Yearly statistics show upwards of 235 people die from falling through ice. Please be aware of your surroundings and how many people are with you on the ice."
If you decide to recreate on the area lakes or ponds, consider wearing a life jacket, bringing a rope, and always bring along a buddy.

Hand-Cut Spaetzle
Spaetzle, the little noodles that are Germany's favorite side dish, are often made by pressing dough through a colander into boiling water. In this version, the dough is rolled out and then cut with a knife for slightly sturdier noodles.
Slideshow: Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
- Servings: 6
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup celery leaves
- Freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the whole eggs and cream. Stir the egg mixture into the flour until a dough forms. Knead and shape the dough into a smooth ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Cut the dough into quarters. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one-quarter of the dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into 3-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 1/8-inch-wide noodles and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 4 minutes; drain. Add the butter to the pot and melt over low heat. Add the noodles and celery leaves and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Those were pleasant hours I spent on board the old indiaman.
Still the fact of their having fallen in with the indiaman was of itself considerable encouragement.
He was on the other side of the island when the indiaman arrived.
One is a calm on the shore at Scarborough; the other the wreck of an indiaman.
The stranger had been edging in nearer and nearer to the indiaman.
After the first fire they all rose, and from the yards and tops, threw bombs and grenades into the forecastle of the indiaman.
Our chief anxiety was, however, on account of the risk we ran of losing the indiaman.
Next afternoon, accordingly, I found myself once more afloat, the indiaman dropping down with the first breeze.
The superior officers of the indiaman had all been taken out of her.

I bought this when my Cocker Spaniel puppy was 3 1/2 months old. He very quickly got the hang of it and seems to enjoy moving everything around to source out the kibbles and treats. Unfortunately, he's VERY smart and had it figured out immediately. We've had it 3 years now and I will put it away for weeks at a time then bring it out for a few days. Only drawback is that he has it cleaned out in 1-2 minutes!! Sturdy, well-made and fun for a dog who needs challenges.

Three MU College of Veterinary Medicine students and a CVM small-animal surgery resident were the featured speakers and shared personal stories about the influences that prompted their decisions to seek a career in veterinary medicine, the challenges they faced in pursuing their dreams and the impact of scholarships on their ability to pursue a veterinary education.
Brittni Peck, a first-year veterinary student, Cameron Hall and Abby Whiting, third-year veterinary students, and Dr. Jill Luther, a resident in the veterinary orthopaedic program, addressed the group gathered at the Columbia Country Club. Their remarks were preceded by a welcome from CVM Dean Dr. Neil Olson and comments from MU Provost Brian Foster, who discussed the pivotal role the college will play as the University moves forward.
Following the program, Dr. Ron Cott, associate dean of Student and Alumni Affairs and director of Development, presented a watercolor print of the college to donors who were present: Harry Feirman and Nancy Langworthy of Rocheport, Andrea and Charles Kircher of Doylestown, Pa., and Karen Miller Pensiero of Verona, N.J.
The study of veterinary medicine began at the University of Missouri when the Department of Veterinary Science was created in 1885. Dr. John W. Connaway was one of the first proponents of establishing a formal veterinary curriculum as evidenced by a handwritten letter found in his private papers years after his death. In 1946 the Missouri General Assembly allocated funds to establish the MU School of Veterinary Medicine and in 1950 the first class of MU Veterinarians graduated.
The John W. Connaway Society was formed in Connaway's honor to encourage private participation in the support and development of the college. Its membership is dedicated to securing the future of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Through their active involvement, society members maintain the college's leadership role and sustain Connaway's vision of excellence.

- Have your say on Melbourne's woes: Leave a comment for the LIVE BLOG with Connolly from 12 noon on Monday
- From a gripping tussle to health and safety issue
- Vote: Should the AFL intervene at Melbourne?
First Melbourne rebuilt. Lately, coach Mark Neeld has talked about rebuilding the rebuild. After their pathetic start to 2013, what do the Demons do now, rebuild the rebuilding of a rebuild?
That's the sort of farce an entire football club threatens to become should the level of ineptitude Melbourne has exhibited on and off the field these past few years be allowed to continue much longer.
''Of course we are [concerned],'' AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou conceded last week. ''We don't want the situation where a club has a significant loss and people are outraged and booing.''
That was in reaction to the round one smashing at the hands of Port Adelaide, a performance that up against Saturday night's 148-point disgrace against Essendon looked relatively competitive by comparison.
What would Demetriou say now? Whatever, it's what he does that's far more important.
And the time may well have come for the AFL to go a step further than subsidies and draft picks, and take over the running of one of the competition's foundation clubs, as it has been prepared to do with the newer franchises beyond the state border.
The league showed two decades ago it was prepared to move its own people into Sydney to keep the Swans viable. It didn't mess around and drafted David Matthews into head office at Greater Western Sydney. And it shouldn't mess around any longer waiting for the club bearing this city's name to fix itself. Because the Demons themselves can't, and won't.
This is about far more than Neeld's competence as a coach, and more than Melbourne's financial status. The club has an inherently weak culture that any number of new regimes has failed to strengthen. Direct intervention from head office may be Melbourne's last hope.
Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the Demons' last premiership. The seeds of destruction were sown less than 12 months later, when the legendary Norm Smith was sacked as coach. The disease has festered ever since, occasionally going into remission, but always there, ready to turn the slightest hint of trouble into chaos.
Even the couple of high points in that half-century have come against the odds. When Melbourne made the 1988 grand final, it did so as a club based at a dilapidated training venue, its football department split from the administration. In 2000, Neale Daniher took the club to another grand final despite the meddling and interference from its president Joe Gutnick.
Gutnick had stepped in to bail out the club and just four years earlier, it had actually voted in favour of merging itself out of independent existence, a fact those associated with other battling clubs such as the Western Bulldogs and the departed Fitzroy, who fought tooth and nail to stay alive under their own steam, have never forgotten.
Many would equate the recent tanking controversy as the merger's on-field equivalent. The results have spoken for themselves, most obviously in the departure of the player the whole costly strategy set out to acquire (Tom Scully), but just as significantly in the pervasive and damaging message sent through a whole club.
A stream of senior players have been jettisoned or have left, the club having overestimated the strength of what remained. And their development, and that of a steady stream of highly rated juniors, has been stunted and compromised, the consequences seen again at the hands of the Bombers.
The ''new brooms'' at Melbourne come and go, but never manage to clean everything or in some cases even anything up. The sickness always seems to prevail.
Chairman Don McLardy said on Sunday the Neeld coaching team had been given ''carte blanche to change the culture of the Melbourne Football Club''.
But at Melbourne, that is far too great a task for a novice coach feeling his way. Even Norm Smith would be struggling with this version of his once great club.
Culture change is also primarily a job for an administration. And this one is too embattled, too fatigued and too scarred by its various travails to any longer have the resources, clout or credibility to right this sinking ship.
AFL headquarters does though. The league could deploy its best to work at Melbourne, help establish the first solid foundations it would have had for 50 years, find and develop a genuine, not half-baked and piecemeal, spiritual and physical home, assume marketing and promotional responsibilities and make the club something fans of future generations actually want to follow for reasons other than diminishing family ties.
That's a more essential task than debating Neeld's future or Jack Watts' best position. Because unless it's addressed pronto, those names will simply be replaced by two more who try and fail to turn around a club with a sick core.

LG has announced that it will now be starting the worldwide rollout of smartphones that are capable of using the LTE TDD (Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplexing) service. The company is starting in Saudi Arabia with its flagship handset - the Optimus G - on the Saudi Telecom Company network. The company will be launching LTE TDD capable phones in India, China, Japan, Australia and North America later this year.
The Optimus G is capable of using the LTE TDD
LTE TDD allows receiving and transmitting to occur on the same frequency at different times, unlike Long Term Evolution Frequency Division Duplexing (LTE FDD) which assigns two different frequencies for transmitting and receiving data. This means LTE TDD works more like home broadband, with a narrow band for uploading and a wider one for downloading heavier content such as video and music for more efficient transmission of data.
"LTE TDD is a superior alternative in some countries due to its flexibility in uploading and downloading content," said Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "We're excited to offer consumers LTE TDD capable smartphones based on our unparalleled knowhow in 4G LTE technologies. With the commercial introduction of LTE TDD service, LG will build upon its expertise in 4G LTE by offering future device options utilizing this standard."
With LG leading the charge, it will only be a matter of time before other companies will bring their own LTE-TDD capable smartphones to India.
LG had originally showcased handsets that are capable of running on the LTE TDD service earlier this year during the Mobile World Congress.

Battlespace System
The Legacy-class was the evolution of the Hyperion-class.
Designed with the small structural size of the Defiant-class escort and the high technology lessons from the Hyperion-class, the Legacy is perfect for combat.
Energy-wise, the limited size of the spaceframe is a double-edged sword It takes very little energy (comparably) to run the ship, however all the excess energy increases the chances of the ship being detected.
Just 2 years after mass production was fully activated, the Legacy-class ships were able to completely subjugate the Borg. 3 more years after that, the Dominion was fully suppressed and the Alpha/Beta Quadrant allies were negotiated into turning over all developed technology and ships for testing.

Legacy-class ships are assigned to the Black Lightning Fleet Task Force, commanded by their respective flagship.
Each deck of the Legacy-class is built around a central circular or U-shaped hallway with rooms extending away from the hall and both turbolifts and ladder-based crawl spaces connecting them.
Deck 2 is built around the central turbolift shaft.
This turbolift is made of a clear armored material that allows the lifts occupants a stunning view of the warp reaction vessel which travels around the turbolift. In case of damage, a ladder is built into the turbolift shaft and a circular staircase winds its way up and down the length of the shaft.
The roof of each room is a set holo-matrix emitters allowing the occupant to fill the room with any desired images or objects.
The walls of the rooms and hallways are made of Replicator nanites which gives a smooth, metallic feel to the ship; however damage reveals the organics components of the Legacy hiding under their mechanical brethren.
This design was implemented to reduce sensor profile/cross-section and to use the Legacy's shape to absorb and deflect damage while maximizing each individual firing arc. The Legacy-class was designed to be 98% automated with an "operator" Legacy-class directing the individual ships.
Due to the fully-integrated use of micro-transporters for Avionics/Flight Control and Environmental/Cabin use, the majority of the spaceframe is devoid of damageable primary transfer systems and all remaining systems are secondary or lower class.
This frees up the volume for use by each individual room, which in turn allows each Quarter to be equivalent to the Captain's room aboard a Sovereign-class while the hallways are large, airy passages which can double as cargo space.

Legacy-class DrivesEdit
FTL DriveEdit
The Legacy-class utilizes a special drive system which has been converted to focus Omega molecules through the Navigational Deflector Array at a Sub-Quantum level similar to how Quantum Slipstream works.
Again, like the special drive system, this causes a massive shift or "fold" in the local space-time continuum and opens a rift into a more compressed form of subspace existing in a dimensional plane just beneath subspace.
Within this sub-subspace all movement passes through all points near-simultaneously.
To the pilot, it appears as if the ship is traveling through a web.
This web is actually the visual representation of all connections between this sub-subspace and normal subspace.
While traveling through the web, many times the correct path splits into several sections.
Before choosing a path, both paths have the capacity to be correct and incorrect.
Only after choosing a path does one become correct and the other incorrect.
Due to this system, traditional navigational systems become obsolete and newer, more advanced versions had to be developed.
In relativistic terms, this new drive system is 10^999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 Tera Light Years/Ferro Second faster than any other known or projected Faster Than Light drive system.
Impulse DriveEdit
The Legacy-class utilizes a impulse drive system which works by intaking chunks of subspace, detonating them, and directing the blast through a series of large afterburners and small RCS ports.
Because of the sheer force of this drive, an Ultra-Heavy Inertial Dampener system was installed to minimize the effect on the crew.
This drive system can be temporarily boosted by inserting raw energy from the ship's core into the drive system.
Of course, all maneuvering takes place within a temporal warp field so it appears to teleport and move instantly.
In special circumstances where greater maneuverability is required and damage to local space will not be noticed, the Legacy-class can detonate the subspace outside the ship's hull at close proximity while relying on its armor to protect it.
Type-M Phaser used by the Legacy is slightly different from the one aboard the Hyperion-class.
This version is a single module weapon easily affixed to a hull and can be used through ablative hull armor.
This version forms an unstable wormhole between the emitter and the target ship and then causes the target to destabilize at the sub-atomic level.
Against shields, this causes a destructive harmonic resonance to build within the shield generator.
If the target ship is not specially equipped with keryon deflector arrays, this Type-M causes the side effect of neutralizing all onboard electronics, similar to an overpowered ion cannon while a completely separate particle emitted by the wormhole destabilizing causes all organic lifeforms to fall unconscious for about an hour.
During the Lost Ages, the Legacy-class fleets were led by the USS Enterprise-W to conquer the Borg. During the final battle, the Enterprise-W was assimilated and the first Legacy-class activated took command of the combined fleets under the temporarily revived Michael Atreides. While the remaining Borg were assimilating the new technology to turn the battle, Vessel 0001 ordered all remote-piloted ships to make kamikaze runs on the Borgs Oracle of Unification, a hub for all Central Plexus. Combined with a latent neuro-pathogen released earlier in the season, all remaining Borg promptly disassembled themselves and deactivated. Final analysis of Borg parts indicated that the Legacy class in command had been, momentarily, identified as Vessel 0001 - or the top priority assimilation target.

Proceeding southward from Kashgar through western Xinjiang,and the northernmost Himalayas.
The the highway threads its way through valleys around the towering peaks of the Sarykol Range (at the juncture of the Pamirs and the Kunluns) before crossing into the Northern Areas (in the Pakistani-administered portion of Kashmir) at Khunjerab (Kunjirap) Pass. The road then winds through deep valleys in the Karakorams until, just east of Gilgit, it reaches the upper Indus River valley. It then follows the Indus down, past the Nanga Parbat massif, until the river breaks out of the mountains, at which point the road veers away and heads generally southward to Islamabad.
The highway was a joint Pakistani and Chinese project and required the skills of about 24,000 workers. Mud slides, rockfalls, and other avalanches were a constant danger, and the road's construction was particularly hampered by the unforeseen movement of glaciers in the region. Even after its completion, the highway continued to require heavy maintenance, but it reportedly has had a notable economic impact on the Uighur, Tajik, and Kyrgyz peoples who inhabit the mountainous region.

Pharming refers to an attempt by a hacker to redirect a website's traffic to another site, developed for the purpose of stealing information from users. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in either the host files on a personal computer or on the domain name system (DNS) server software. DNS servers work to direct information on the internet, similar to a road map for traffic. DNS translates human-friendly web addresses such as "google.com" into the correct IP address so the user doesn't have to remember a long series of digits for every website they visit. Compromised DNS servers are referred to as "poisoned." Pharming attacks replace the IP address for a site, so that even when the user types in the correct site name directly into their browser, they are redirected to another site of the attacker's choosing. The site the user sees could even resemble the site they were expecting to visit and could also contain malware created to steal user information, infect the user's computer or install adware. Because pharming completely replaces a DNS entry for a website, it can potentially re-direct large volumes of users to bogus websites, exposing them to potential hazards. Therefore, it is advised that if you are visiting a bank or other website where you will be entering sensitive information that you look to make sure that you are using a secure connection through HTTPS.

Most Serene Republic and The Grates Win Hearts, Don't Break Teeth at Modified
At first glance, The Most Serene Repulic and The Grates touring together seems unlikely -- even odd. The former is a Toronto-based snapshot of what Arts & Crafts does best: Broken Social Scene's intricate textures and soundscapes with the personality dynamic of Stars. The latter is a pop-infused fun punk band from Brisbane with a bubbly, perpetually bouncing front lady.
Despite the disparity, the two put on one hell of a late show at Modified, following a Third Thursday art show at the venue. Fans piled in to feel the warmth and giddy glow of Grates leader Patience Hodgson, who sported a Little House on the Prairie getup that included faux cowbody boot leggings over her black-on-black Chucks.
Hodgson channeled a young Debbie Harry with more personality in her pinkie than most bands have in their collective thumbs. She ribbon danced, invoked a skanking party and dedicated "Science Is Golden" to anyone who's been to Roswell.
The Most Serene Republic were similarly charming via their front man and master of American cinema, Adrian Jewett, who had fabulous commentary and also attempted to do "the Molly Ringwald." The septet seemed genuinely and pleasantly surprised by the warm tidings of the beaming crowd, and requested creamsicles due to the warm weather.

A little skanking carried over from The Grates' set, mostly due to Jewett's trombone. But, hey-o, he delivered in the personality department with such delightful non sequiturs as, "Wasn't John Candy great?" In addition to, "Tonight when you go home check out 'Robin Hood Men in Tights'; it's a gem," and "I would 69 Patrick Stewart."
Both imports avoided doing encores, and left everything on Modified's creaky stage when they were done. One of the best shows this year, hands down.

(49.68 kB) The ongoing tug-of-war between the federal government and the states over the legality of requiring private businesses to act as de facto immigration-enforcement agencies took a new twist in June when a federal district court temporarily blocked Oklahoma from enforcing two key provisions of a 2007 law.Under Oklahoma HB 1804 — also known as the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007 — businesses seeking contracts with the state would be required to use the federal E-Verify system to check the eligibility of all employees.

AEIV due to length error of COMMAREA on EXEC CICS LINK command
Technote (troubleshooting)
You have a modified Node Error Program, DFHZNEP, that issues an EXEC CICS LINK command to another application. This program has worked for many years until upgrading to z/OS V1.8. Now, the program abends with abend code AEIV indicating that there is a length error (LENGERR).
EXEC CICS LINK command has LENGTH parameter coded incorrectly.
Diagnosing the problem
Your Link command is coded similar to the following:
NEPCALEN is defined using the DFHNEPCA macro as an equate:
Thus, NEPCALEN is equated to a full word binary value of x'0000009E', causing the length value to be picked up at location x'9E'. The CICS translator loads the address of the equated field into the parameter list, and this actually yields an address of x'0000009E'.
Prior to upgrading to z/OS V1.8, location x'9E' either contained a half word of zeros or a half word value not having the left most bit turned on. After upgrading, this storage contains a half word value with the left most bit turned on, thus thought to be a negative value. The negative value causes LENGERR and abendAEIV.
Resolving the problem
Code the LENGTH field on the EXEC CICS LINK command as an address that points to the length of the COMMAREA, not as the actual length of the COMMAREA. Because this scenario involves DFHZNEP, the problem can be resolved by simply removing the LENGTH parameter altogether and the length will be resolved as a pointer to a half word value of x'009E'.

White Noise Machines Can Harm Babies' Ears
The white noise machines that lull babies to sleep could be hurting their ears.
A study published in the journal "Pediatrics" reports infant sleep machines, if used for too long or at maximum volume, could damage a baby's hearing.
Researchers recommend only playing the machines quietly for a short period of time, and as far from the baby as possible.
At distances of one foot and three feet, the maximum volume of each white noise device was higher than the recommended noise limit for hospital nurseries.

Curious about asbestos removal? Asbestos is a mineral material, that has been widely used in the construction of houses and buildings until 1970s. It was actually the primary ingredient in the construction of roofing, floor tiles, insulation, and acoustic ceilings because for its strength, heat-resistance, and insulation properties. Yet in 1970s, it was learned that asbestos might be harmful to one's body and cause some terminal diseases of the lungs.
On the other hand, asbestos isn't dangerous if it's found in great condition. But when the product begins getting deteriorated, the tiny microscopic fibres within asbestos get out into the air. Citizens getting these fibres while respiration can develop some incurable illnesses. Asbestosis and mesothelioma are couple of major diseases caused because of the exposure to asbestos fibre. Consequently, it is presently very vital to eliminate asbestos from the houses and also other human-occupied buildings to avoid these health risks. It is a difficult task.
Why Asbestos Elimination is Required?
Human lungs are inclined to absorb the asbestos fibres from air through respiratory. On continually getting exposed to this environment, a person may experience highly problematic lung diseases including lung cancer. Mesothelioma is another fatal lung disease brought on by asbestos fibres, without any known solution yet.
Straightaway on identifying the asbestos fibre particles in the air, it is the greatest goal to carry out asbestos elimination. With the intention to block these harmful particles from getting spread in the environment, using asbestos abatement method is important. Professional execution of asbestos abatement is critical; otherwise, it might turn out to be extremely dangerous.
It's compulsory that the asbestos removal task is performed by professionally skilled contractors. Inhabitants often being oblivious to its ill-effects are likely to perform the asbestos elimination procedure on their own. While executing the asbestos removal, you should follow the governmental regulations to be able to make sure that it is carried out safely. The particle samples should be sent to the lab for testing if asbestos fibres are suspected in the environment. Proper microscopic examination of these particles is certainly the sole method to ascertain the intensity of the situation.
Value of Ensuring Proper Safety
If thepresence of these harmful fibres is recognized, then expert asbestos deletion professionals need to perform the abatement duty, guaranteeingall the adequate safety precautions are made. On the other hand, if correct safety measures are not taken, it can cause extreme health problems, which can be terminal. All of the mandatory safety precautions are carried out by experienced asbestos removal contractors so one can remove the hazardous asbestos particles on the basis of appropriate assessment or by perfect abatement techniques. The workers make use of special protective clothing and breathing equipment while executing the work, which keep them protected from getting in contact with any harmful particles in the environment. Each of the occupants have to be educated accordingly to assure safety and also the abatement area has to be properly sealed and protected.
When you have a plan to seek the services of an asbestos removal contractor, be sure that you approach an authorised contractor simply to perform this duty. Also check the license, insurance plans, along with the track record of the contractor prior to making a decision. The worth of work may differ from situation to situation based on the area as well as intensity of contamination.

If the leader of one of America's major NATO allies had serious concerns with John McCain's stated position on Iran, would the Obama-loving press report it?
Probably every hour on the hour until the day after Election Day, right?
Well, according to Israel's Ha'aretz, France's Nicolas Sarkozy views Barack Obama's political stance toward Iran "utterly immature" and made up of "formulations empty of all content."
UPDATE AT END OF POST: French Embassy refutes Ha'aretz article.
Don't be surprised if you hadn't heard anything about this, for a Google News search identified not one major American press outlet covering what Ha'aretz reported over eight hours ago (emphasis added, photo courtesy NY Daily News):
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel's government.
Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."
Obama visited Paris in July, and the Iranian issue was at the heart of his meeting with Sarkozy. At a joint press conference afterward, Obama urged Iran to accept the West's proposal on its nuclear program, saying that Iran was creating a serious situation that endangered both Israel and the West. According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country's policy toward Iran, that would be "very problematic." [...]
Following their July meeting, Sarkozy repeatedly expressed disappointment with Obama's positions on Iran, concluding that they were "not crystallized, and therefore many issues remain open," the Israeli source said. Advisors to the French president who held separate meetings with Obama's advisors came away with similar impressions and expressed similar disappointment.
Don't worry, folks, I'm sure you'll hear all about this...after the elections, of course.
*****Update: I received by e-mail the following communique from Ms. Animya N'tchandy, the Deputy Press Attaché for the French Embassy:
The remarks attributed by the newspaper Haaretz to the President of the French Republic concerning Senator Obama's positions on Iran are groundless. To the contrary, the in-depth discussions between the President of the Republic and Senator Obama on Iran during their meeting in Paris in July demonstrated a broad convergence of views on this issue. President Sarkozy and Senator Obama agree to oppose Iran's development of a military nuclear capability.

Could more charges against a sitting New York lawmaker be on the way? A document filed in Brooklyn federal court Friday seems to suggest so.
In a sentencing memorandum for former Sen. Shirley Huntley, the U.S. Attorney's office said an unnamed state senator encouraged Huntley to take a bribe in March last year from a businessman who was looking to expand at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens.
The prosecutors said Huntley accepted $1,000 from the businessman and tried to help him obtain additional space. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the airport, ultimately did not lease the extra space to the businessman.
In June of 2012 — after Huntley was hit with separate fraud charges — she agreed to secretly record conversations with seven elected officials and two others, including the unnamed state senator. The U.S. Attorney's filing says evidence against the senator and two other elected officials will be unveiled in a letter next week.

What Customers Say About Nokia 640 Repairs Service
Quick and good quality service - I liked the iSmash Kingston shop, where my phone screen was replaced in under 30 min. The team working there is very helpful and knowledgeable. I was recommended this place by a friend, and now will be recommending it myself to everyone who needs a quick and quality repair.
Fast, efficient service with great end result. Much better than sending off the phone and waiting days to collect it. Would recommend and use again myself if required in the future.
Excellent Service - I had had my cracked screen replaced by another company, who had damaged the front camera flex whilst doing so. But iSmash were fantastic - identified and remedied the repair quickly and efficiently. I will definitely use iSmash again.
Big help and great service - After being able to book a screen replacment in the Fleet Street branch the same day as my phone was broken, I received fantastic service and treatment at iSmash. The repair was perfectly kept to the 30 minute promise and extra reinforcements added to my screen appear well applied and definitely help protect my screen now.
2 minute fix, no charge - Something from the charge cable got stuck right inside the charge port meaning iPad wouldn't charge. Despite being busy, they fixed it there and then with no charge. Excellent.
FAQs About the Nokia 640 Repairs
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked around Nokia 640 Repairs - select your issue and see what we can do for you.
My Nokia Lumia 640 camera isn't working properly - the photos are blurry and I need to take a selfie.
Check there's nothing blocking the lens. (This might sound simple but it happens!) Use a lint-free cloth to clean it. If your photos are still blurry, resort to IT Support 101 and turn your Nokia Lumia 640 off and on again.
Next, check for and install any software updates. If that doesn't fix the issue, you should consider a factory reset (making sure you have all your content backed up first).
My touchscreen has stopped working - do I need an Nokia Lumia 640 screen replacement?
In order to diagnose this and understand if you need an Nokia Lumia 640 screen repair or replacement, we need to determine if the issue is software or hardware related. If it's software, you may be able to take some action. First - is it an intermittent problem that only occurs when a certain app is in use? Try uninstalling that app.
As with other common issues, a hard reset is sometimes a good way to clear the phone and restore it to its former glory. Although you shouldn't do this regularly, it can be a way to fix problems. Do a hard reset by holding down the power and home buttons for 30 seconds.
Still no response? It may be a problem with the hardware. If you've recently dropped your phone, this could be to blame even if there is no visible damage. It might be that a repair to the circuitry behind the screen, or an Nokia Lumia 640 replacement screen is necessary and iSmash will be able to help.

IBM is replacing 3,900 servers in its own datacenters with 30 mainframe computers to save energy and to show that the mainframe is still very much alive.
IBM, in the first action since announcing a Project Big Green initiative in May to spend $1 billion per year improving its energy efficiency, said Wednesday that it expects to reduce its energy bill by 80 percent, and save $250 million in overall costs, by replacing the servers with its System z mainframes running the open source Linux operating system.
The mainframe computer has been serving large enterprises for more 40 years, but they gradually turned to minicomputers and then to distributed servers, which were more affordable, leaving the mainframe behind.
Now IBM thinks heightened concern about energy costs gives it leverage in the market to sell more mainframes.
Servers operate at anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of capacity because they usually run only one software application. But mainframes operate at an average 80 percent of capacity, meaning one mainframe can replace multiple servers, said Bernie Meyerson, an IBM fellow, vice president of strategic alliances and chief technologist. And virtualization, the process of dividing a server into multiple logical servers to improve utilization, was pioneered on mainframes decades ago, he said.
If 30 mainframes can do the work of 3,900 servers, any company can reduce their server count and reduce the need to build more datacenter space, which is challenging given tight energy supplies, Meyerson said.
"In major metropolitan centers there ain't another electron available," he said. "[A mainframe] eliminates the need to build more datacenters and build power plants to feed them."
IBM's mainframe project will bring some attention to the platform and prompt some IT customers to reconsider using them, said Mike Kahn, managing director of The Clipper Group, a research firm.
"A lot people can't imagine that the dinosaur still has the economic advantages to deliver that," Kahn said, of the mainframe's estimated energy savings.
The IBM mainframe also has a cost advantage over servers in that it features specialty processors that IBM developed to work in an open Linux environment, he said. Standard x86 processors are relatively costly because they run legacy applications in an IT system. But speciality processors developed by IBM for mainframes running Linux are less expensive. These speciality processors include the Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL), a processor called Zip, which runs Java applications on a mainframe and Zap, which runs DB2 applications.
While IBM's project will draw new attention to the mainframe, they are not for everyone, said Charles King, an analyst with Pund-IT Research. Users chose servers over mainframes because they were more affordable, he said.
"The distributed server environment put a tremendous amount of computing power in the hands of users for much less money," King said.
Hewlett-Packard, IBM's main competitor, is in the midst of its own datacenter consolidation project, reducing to six the number of datacenters it operates, from 85.

Hi again, I had just answered Feme's prior message when this one came in.
THANK YOU so very much. This is very interesting information regarding John
DICK. Especially when you connect John DICK going to Muhlenberg and Samuel
DANNER, also going there. As I said before John DICK md. Mary DONNER,
daughter of George Sr. and his wife MARY (HUFF?). You all may find it
interesting that I returned last Friday from central Illinois where I visited
the burial site of John and Mary DONNER DICK - photos will be in later today.
Also the Brethren tradition that John DICK and Joseph ROWLAND led an
immigration to the Sangamon River country is fascinating for several reasons.
The first being that, as I stated previously, I believe George DONNER, Sr.'s
wife to have been the daughter of Valentine HUFF and another of Valentine
HUFF's daughters, Esther, married Jacob ROLAND. I have a number of books
on Sangamon county and I can now check the ROLAND/ROWLAND surname. Thank
you immensely. Is the order book 2A of Muhlenberg Co., Ky from the court or
the Brethren records - I would like to obtain a copy if possible. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. Jo Ann Brant Schmidt in Houston, Tx.

Estimates indicate that the increase in hunger during the period 2007 - 2010 was less severe than previously thought hunger statistics .
The economic feed the hungry crisis did not emerge during 2008 - 2009 for a sharp economic slowdown on the ground in many developing countries have also dominated the concerns above. The transmission of the impact of international prices for the less powerful local markets during the high time of food , while many governments have managed to absorb shock and protect the most vulnerable to the effects of eruptions sudden price hunger statistics .
The number of people suffering from hunger, which was released today are part of a series of new dates from 1990. And the best offers updated data on population , methods of food supply and the loss of food, dietary energy requirements and other factors . It also includes a better distribution of food in the country ( according to estimates of the supply and distribution of food) estimates.
Until today, reveals a set of three UN organizations that the link between economic growth and nutrition remained weak report, if submitted Altman approach a better framework for the integration feed the hungry of aspects of the agriculture feed the hungry, nutrition and health hunger statistics.
Social protection systems
While recognizing the importance of the growth is sometimes not sufficient in itself or quickly enough hunger statistics. We must therefore ensure that social protection systems do not neglect the most vulnerable and may be involved in the growth context in which to participate and benefit .
What we need now is the application of procedures and measures such as remittances and facilitate the availability of cash vouchers for food, health insurance , since most of the poor can not , in most cases the benefits to the immediate results of Neil growth opportunities . Social protection to achieve much to improve nutrition in the case of young children, and that this investment will pay off in the future feed the hungry , thanks to the creation of a workforce healthy adults and more educated citizens hunger statistics.
This is not only an effective and complementary means of overall economic growth in order to ensure the defeat of hunger and malnutrition welfare .
The vast majority ( 852 million people ) of people suffering from hunger in developing countries , about 15 percent of the total population , while the remaining 16 million people suffering from food shortages among the countries of the industrialized economies.
And record the total number of hungry people to 132 million during the periods 1990-1992 and 2010-2012 , down from 18.6 percent to 12.5 percent of the total world population , and 23.2 percent to 14.9 percent in developing countries - indicating that the reduction in the number of people suffering from hunger by 2015 is still a means to achieve in the case of actions and appropriate measures and appropriate.
And now, it is estimated that the number of people suffering from hunger has decreased during the period between 1990 and 2007 at a much higher rate than previously thought . However, progress in reducing global hunger from 2007 - 2008 has slowed down and not get up .
By bringing the new international report once said Jose Grain DA Silva, Kana Wane, Ms. Arthurian cosine, which are, respectively , the heads of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development and Nations the World Food Programmed , " We found that this is not acceptable at all in the world today, including the ownership of technical and economic feasibility unprecedented over 100 million children under five are underweight and are not able to reach the state of economic and social development and humanitarian benefit of their energy , especially child malnutrition kill more than 2.5 million children each year.hunger statistics "
Present the " State of Food Insecurity in the World 2012" report, which issued a partnership between the feed the hungry United Nations Food and "SÃO" Agriculture and the International Fund for Agricultural Development " FAD "and the World Food Programmed " PA "says better than expected on the state of chronic food shortages, methodologies, and through better data to measure the conditions in the last two decades.
They stressed , saying :hunger statistics "We note with concern that the global economy from the grip of the recent global financial crisis is still small, but we call on the international community to exert more efforts to help the poorest of the poor Neil worldwide fundamental right of access to adequate food. . has the knowledge and the means to that position to eliminate all forms of food insecurity and malnutrition . " added that it is necessary to apply based on supporting overall economic growth " dual approach " (including agriculture) and the creation of social safety nets for the most vulnerable part of the second.
The impact of the economic crisis
However, the report notes, "The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2012" is that the methodology for each superiority does not reflect the short-term effects of rising food prices and other economic crisis . organization seeks " FW " also for the development of a broader set of indicators in order to clearly reflect the quality of the food and other non-obvious dimensions of food safety requirements hunger statistics .
MD target within reach
The report feed the hungry mentions that the Dairyman Action to reverse the slowdown that began in 2007 - 2008 to meet the needs of the hungry, but makes the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by half the number of people suffering hunger in developing countries by 2015 in hand.
The report says: "If you keep the average annual rate of reduction of hunger in the past twenty years in 2015 , will reach the proportion of undernourished people in developing countries to 12.5 percent - and even exceeded the the objective of Millennium Development 11.6 percent is much closer than previously thought hunger statistics. "
Asia is the number of hungry and Africa is on the rise
Among all regions annotated malnutrition over the past two decades, a decline of nearly 30 percent in Asia and the Pacific, from 739 million to 563 million people , at most , due to economic and social progress in many countries region . Despite population growth , the reduction of the prevalence of malnutrition in the region of 23.7 percent to 13.9 percent , and the fact that Latin America and the Caribbean also increased, by reducing the number of undernourished people from 65 million people suffering from hunger in 1990-1992 to 49 million in 2010-2012 and decreased prevalence of malnutrition of 14.6 percent to 8.3 percent . But the pace has slowed recently .
Africa is the only region where the number of people suffering from hunger has increased over this period, from 175 million to 239 million , bringing the total number to 20 million over the past four years. Although the prevalence of hunger in the duration of this period, however , increased slightly over the past three years, from 22.6 percent to 22.9 percent - the rate of hunger of a person with four people suffering from hunger. In sub -Saharan Africa, scrambling modest progress in recent years, from 2007 , and moved to increased hunger 2 percent per year since .
Also saw the return of economically developed in the number of hunger increased from 13 million in 2004-2006 to 16 million in 2010-2012 , while the downward trend continued agitation during the famine in the previous 20 years million from 1990 to 1992 .
Agricultural growth to fight against hunger statistic sand malnutrition
The report highlights that global growth is necessary but not sufficient to reduce hunger permanently . The growth of agriculture in the most effective hunger and malnutrition in the poorest countries of confinement , because most of the poor depend on agriculture and related activities in the context of their living resources. And ensure agricultural growth when small farmers, especially women feed the hungry , the highest degree of effectiveness in reducing extreme poverty and hunger, while creating jobs for the poor included hunger statistics.
To benefit from weak growth should be " sensitive to considerations of nutrition " to overcome various forms of malnutrition. No reduce hunger that increase the supply of food available , but also improve the quality of food in terms diversity , and content security.
But there are signs of hope to guide the possibility of achieving the goal of greater goals of the effort hunger statistics
9 October / feed the hungry October 2012 , Rome feed the hungry - the city new UN report on hunger today reported that nearly 870 million people , or one in eight suffer from chronic food shortages in the period 2010-2012 hunger statistics .
Although today there are 870 million people hungry , the world is increasingly facing the double burden of malnutrition , chronic malnutrition and micronutrients deficiencies , and the phenomenon results obesity and diseases subtle patterns from the same day affects more than 1.4 feed the hungry million people worldwide hunger statistics feed the hungry .
