2014 WSOP Fun Facts Part 3September 4, 2014 - 10:31am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
We begin with another archive image from the 2004 WSOP Main Event. We see Winner Greg Raymer keeping a close watch on the table. More importantly, we see the hauntingly intense face of Josh Arieh staring down the barrel of the camera. This is a well documented, historic time slice of the famous WSOP tournament and you can read about it here on Wikipedia.
Although we have published most of the press releases from the 2014 WSOP we will continue to point out what we consider to be interesting and important facts from the summer event. OK. Let's get right to it.
The range of players' ages ranged from just 21 to 93 years old. Can anyone out there list a sport that has such an age spread among competitors?
This year's youngest player was Zachary Zaffos of Weston Beach, Florida whom turned 21 on Day 1B of the Main Event and then played on Day 1C in the Main Event making him 21 years and one day old. The oldest player was William Wachter of Carmel, NY whom was 93-years-old. Both of the players were eliminated on Day 1.
The oldest player to cash in the 2014 WSOP Main Event was 90-year-old Henry Orenstein. He finished 8th in Event #61, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship and collected $31,419. For those wondering how tough the competition was, Phil Hellmuth finished two spots up from Orenstein in 6th place.
Mr. Orenstein is the inventor of the game changing hole cam that allows TV viewers to see a player's hole cards. He is also a member of the Poker Hall of Fame. In 1996 he entered the Seven-Card Stud championship and took home the WSOP gold bracelet. Surviving the three days of intense, world class competition is quite a feat for any player, much less a 93-year-old poker player.
2014 WSOP Moving On UpAugust 28, 2014 - 9:45am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Looking over the vast amount of data from the recently completed World Series of Poker reveals a few trends that point to a bright future for the world's favorite game, poker. When you hold a poker tournament and 82,360 players from 107 countries pay buy-ins into 65 events that offer a collective $225,584,873 in prize money it's easy to see the popularity of poker.
I can trace my poker roots all the way back to Texas in the 1860's as a result of one of my distant grandfather's many documented arrest records for playing poker, owning a house where poker was being played and even one charge of accepting a challenge to a dual. In my lifetime I've watched poker move from the smokey game rooms within one of my many uncle's East Texas homes to the world stage at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino before the cameras of the world's foremost sports network, ESPN.
Even through the minefields of legal challenges, the moral 'right' roadblocks, cheating scandals at both the individual and corporate level and the fallout of Black Friday, poker is very much alive and well. And for the past 45years a grand celebration is held every summer and it is called, The World Series of Poker.
For those that question the current and future state of the sport and believe the card game will eventual burn out and once again be demoted to the dingy backrooms where old men meet to tell lies and cheat read the following quote from Ty Stewart. Mr. Stewart is the Executive Director of WSOP Poker.
"We're humbled to have seen this kind of response to our 10th series at the Rio. More than ever before, we embraced the challenge to have something for everyone who loves the game. With some of the biggest events ever organized it is clear poker remains strong and its best days are ahead. We can't wait to start planning for next year."
For the tenth consecutive year, the WSOP generated a total prize pool well in excess of $100 million, and for only the second time in its history, topped the $200 million mark."
Additionally, in the 45 year history of the World Series of Poker more than $2 billion in prize money has been awarded to players and more than a billion of this total has come in the past 6 years. Still a doubter of the health of poker?
The WSOP is the barometer for poker and its health and growth sustainability. All the facts support what most all of the world's poker players have been saying for years. "Spread it and we'll come." Next time you sit down to enjoy a game of poker give thanks to those that keep the game on the path to continued success.
From a humble beginning of 8 players participating in one event with a total prize pool of $80,000 we have progressed all the way to 82,360 players participating in 65 events for a total prize pool of $62,820,873. From where I have sat watching the action over the years this is proof positive that we're going to see the sport of poker just get bigger and better regardless of the political winds that often try to blow down the house.
And I often wonder what that grandfather of mine from more than a century and a half ago would think if I walked into the Rio with him? Probably he would be drooling with the excitement of anticipation when he would tell me, "Get me a seat Sonny Boy, times a'wasting."
We've included a vintage photo from our archive of WSOP photos. This image demonstrates the incredible changes that Caesars Entertainment has brought to the famous poker tournament. The year was 2004. The place was Benny's Bullpen at Binion's Horseshoe, downtown Las Vegas. The two players were a very young David Williams and attorney Greg Raymer, both relative unknowns in the poker world. They are playing heads-up in the WSOP Main Event and only minutes away from Greg Raymer claiming the title.
2014 WSOP November Nine Bruno Politano Ninth on Chip List T12,125,000August 25, 2014 - 9:44am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Bruno Politano is the first Brazilian to claim a seat at a World Series of Poker Main Event final table. He will come into the final two days of the Big Poker Show in November at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino as the table's short stack with 12,125,000 in play money. He will also bring a lot of enthusiasm and a rail that's proven to be among the most boisterous of all time even when we include Joe Hachem's infamous – "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!" – "Oi!, Oi!, Oi!" – support group at the 2005 Main Event final table.
Politano's resume includes three prior WSOP cashes for a total of $25,404. The biggest win before the 2014 Main Event's award of $730,725 for making the November nine was $47,493 he collected for third place in the 2013 Brazilian Series of Poker Main Event. His first WSOP cash was for $2,548 when he finished 148th in a $1K No-Limit Hold'em event in 2011. He collected some prize money during two events in the 2014 WSOP, 17th in event #39 yielded $20,148 and 135th in event #58 provided another $2,708 in prize money.
Our 2014 Main Event's short stacked player began the journey to the November Nine on Day 1C as part of the prevailing insanity of the largest ever WSOP Main Event Day 1 flight at 3,768 players. Politano finished this grueling day with 66,800 in chips. Day 2 pushed the stacks to 72,400 and Day 3 he made it into six figures at 110,000. Day 4 saw a startling advance in chip strength when Politano finished with 2.289 million in play money. Day 5 produced a more than double resizing of the chip stacks and the 5.475 million landed him in the 4th spot on the chip leader board. When the dealing was done on Day 6 the chip stacks contained 11,625 million in checks, good for 6th on the leader board of 27 remaining players. Day 7 brought a modest increase to 12,125,000, a seat at the November final table and the short stack label.
Every tournament final table has a player that is short stacked. Most of them are just happy to be at the final table which generally means some serious money. If you're going to be the short stack can you think of a better time or table than the WSOP November Main Event final table? Politano will have about 30 big blinds at the current levels when play resumes in the fall. His uber-Brazilian aggressive style of play will probably produce either chips for his anemic stack or a quick exit to the condolences of the anticipated hundreds of rail birds cheering him on.
The 31-year-old Politano plans to play in the EPT and the WSOP Australia during the long break as he tunes his game for the upcoming uphill challenge. He also signed with 888POKER as their fifth 888POKER Ambassador for the online casino website. Sounds as though the Brazilian has things well in hand to perhaps win the race to that elusive gold bracelet. Can he win? Ask him, he'll quickly tell you he not only can win, he will win.
This concludes our November Nine bios and overviews. Looking forward to seeing everyone in November, Flipchip.
Poker Says Goodbye to Tony Korfman (1942-2014)August 23, 2014 - 9:50am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
The poker sphere lost one of the last old-school characters last Monday, August 8, 2014. Following a routine hip surgery, Tony Korfman succumbed to life-ending complications. He was a man of many talents – author, casino executive, and poker player _ whom lived most of his adult life at his home in Boulder City, Nevada.
The Bronx, New York native is a graduate of The University of San Francisco. In 1966 he married his lifelong wife, Linda, in Carson City, Nevada.
His career in executive casino management included the CEO position at The Gold Strike Casino and the Edgewater in Nevada. He is listed as a working author of five books on Amazon. Of Note, the 'how to gamble' series of books have one thing in common, thay all include the word 'humorous' in the title.
Tony Kaufman's poker resume shows a documented career earnings record of $355,320. This includes the $217,503 he collected in the 2007 WSOP Seniors Event #41 when he finished in second place. The photo with this article shows him at play in that event on Day 2.
At the poker table he could be one of the funniest people you had ever played with and never knew what he would say next. He could also be one of the most abrasive, berating individuals you had ever run across. There seemed to be no static state with Tony Korfman, he attacked life with a passion.
Having photographed Korfman on numerous occasions I always knew that going to his table would be an experience. The other players would be close to tears from laughing so hard or plotting his demise. The poker world truly lost one of the last of the true poker characters when Tony Korfman left us.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Tony Korfman this Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 2 PM at the Boulder Creek Golf Club, 1501 Veterans' Memorial Drive in Boulder City.
2014 WSOP November Nine Martin Jacobson Eighth on Chip List T14,900,000August 22, 2014 - 9:45am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Martin Jacobson is one of the five non-US players at this year's World Series of Poker Main event final table scheduled for November 10-11 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. Traveling all the way from his current home in London, England, the Stockholm Sweden native stands in the second spot on the all-time WSOP Swedish poker player winner's list behind behind Chris Bjorin.
Jacobson, a 27-year-old single professional poker player, is the class of the 2014 WSOP November Nine and the only player with more than $1 million, $1,224,706 to be exact, in WSOP earnings. He has 15 previous WSOP cashes and played in 27 events during the 2014 summer WSOP which yielded 3 cashes and includes the Main Event final table finish. He has also accumulated $4,807,316 (does not include any 2014 ME winnings) career tournament winnings even though his success in the 2014 Main Event is his first ever WSOP Main Event cash.
Day 1A saw Jacobson take a seat and play his way to the top of the day's leader board when he finished with 200,100 in tournament chips. Day 2 added more chips to the stacks to bring the total to 342,700 and Day 3 he more than doubled the amount to 721,500. Day 4 play pushed Jacobson beyond the million chip mark and ended with him bagging 1.594 in play money. Day 5 saw another doubling of the bullets to 3.925 million and Day 6 was a rocket ride to 22.335 million and a finish, once again, in the top spot on the chip leader board. The final Day 7 play saw the first finish with less than the starting amount when Jacobson finished the summer's final play day with 14.9 million in chips to place him in the #8 spot for the upcoming November final table.
A few interesting notes about this player's journey to the final table and his spot in the 2014 November Nine. He never finished below the top thirty on the chip leader board during his seven days of Main Event play. Jacobson's only the third player, along with Joseph Cada and Ben Lamb, to finish Day 1 as the chip leader and hang-on to claim a seat at the final table in the eight year history of the November Nine Main Event format. During the concluded seven days of Main Event play he never had to put his seat at risk with an all-in and a call bet.
And let us not overlook one of his final hand's of the summer when William Tonking doubled through Jacobson to take down an 11+ million pot. Had a club appeared on the turn or river Jacobson would be sitting in the third spot on the chip leader board.
Martin Jacobson's style of play can best be categorized by the the Santana song, "Smooth." That's how the man plays poker. He always shows up with an 'A' game that's well developed, many layers deep and highly polished. Even though the 2014 November Nine chip leader, Jorryt van Hoof, has a more than two and a half chip advantage over Jacobson the Swede definitely remains a contender to not only move up but to win it all. His spot as one of the short stacks does not reflect on his abilities but rather on the turn of a single card.
Don't be more than a little surprised to watch Martin Jacobson putting on poker's most prestigious trophy, the Main Event Gold bracelet while claiming the $10 million in cash winner's prize. As we stated at the start of this he's the class of the 2014 November Nine. Don't expect to see him in a roller coaster ride come November. The only part of a roller coaster he seems to understand is the long, slow rise to the apex.
2014 WSOP November Nine William Tonking Seventh on Chip List T15,050,000August 19, 2014 - 10:04am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Sitting in the November Main Event final table seat #6 is 27-year-old William Tonking holding 15,050,000 in tournament chips. Coming to the Big Poker Show from Flemington, New Jersey Mr. Tonking is another November Nine player with no cash experience in any WSOP Main Event even though he played in the 2008 and 2013 WSOP $10K Championship. He began the 2014 Main Event with a little WSOP prize money in his jeans from his cash in event #58 for $13,421 when he finished 77th out of 1,417 entrants.
Tonking is single and a former economics major at the University of South Carolina whom now makes his living grinding the legal online cash games in New Jersey. His career live tournament earnings are $93,306. Of course, we expect a number of changes in his current status after receiving the $730,725 each of the November Nine collected at the end of Day 7 for ninth place. Tonking may also add up to $10,000,000 to his bankroll depending on his finish in November.
William Tonking's resume is short on tournament experience and not much information is easily obtainable in the public domain. He spends his time playing cash games and most poker media believes the bulk of readers are not interested in the mundane of the daily grind so doesn't provide much coverage. As a result we have highly skilled players such as Tonking that arrive at final tables without a virtual portfolio of facts. Most strategist would consider this an advantage for the relatively unknown player.
This journey to the November Nine and a seat at the final table began on Day 1C. Tonking, along with the other 3,768 seated players, had one objective in mind, end the day with chips and return to play Day 2. That's exactly what he did finishing the first day with 45,275 in chips. Day 2 was another grind with the chip stacks slowly going to 158,200 by day's end and Day 3 saw a modest increase to 179,000 in play money. Day 4 completed with a comfortable 740,000 and then the million mark was topped on Day 5 at 1.295 million. Day 6 followed with another nice increase to 5.87 million and Day 7 ended with a final table seat and 15,050,000 in chips. An interesting fact, William Tonking along with the chip leader, Jorryt van Hoof, were the only two players of the November Nine to not finish any day before the final day in the top ten on the leader board.
William Tonking could be the little known sleeper in this field. A few more chips would certainly help his cause but he comes with enough ammo to do well in the battle and could even win the war. He has demonstrated the ability to put it all in even though failure means a final walk to the parking lot. When the Day 7 ten-handed final table was looking for the bubble he went all in with a J – 9o and never broke a sweat. We're looking for this player to move up the board before the 2014 WSOP November dealing is done.
2014 WSOP Main Event More Fun Facts Part 2August 18, 2014 - 9:46am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
$28,980,121 or twenty-eight million nine-hundred eighty-thousand one-hundred and twenty-one US dollars. Doesn't matter how we express it that's a lot of money. And, that's exactly how much the 2014 WSOP November Nine will be chopping up during the November final table.
If you had to carry the money to the final table and it was in one dollar bills how many trips would you need to take? Well, considering the total weight would be just over 63,730 lbs or for Dennis Phillips that would be about 31 tons or close to a truck full. Even in one hundred dollar bills you would have to move 627 lbs.
If we applied the same weights and measures to the 2014 WSOP Main event total purse it would probably take most of a day or two because the $62,820,200 pile of money in one dollar bills would weigh 138,368 lbs or just over 61 tons. One hundred dollar bills would lighten your load all the way down to 1,384 lbs.
Moving on, we will now talk a little about the WSOP Main Event we compare all others to, the 2006 gargantuan event that seated 8773 players and featured four day ones. By the time the final river card was tossed onto the table a relatively unknown player with the unlikely name of Gold, Jamie Gold, became the owner of the largest and still the record Main event purse of $12 million in cash when he eliminated professional player Paul Wasicka.
Interesting note, Paul Wasicka collected $6,102,499 for second place and is listed in the 20th spot on the WSOP all-time money winners list with a total of $6,304,388 but has never won a WSOP bracelet. In 2007 he defeated a blue ribbon field of invited pros in the NBC National Heads-Up Championship to win one of the most prestigious poker tournament that's played annually.
Jamie Gold won the largest WSOP Main Event purse to date at $12,000,000. This record will probably fall to an even larger winner's purse sometime in the foreseeable future. Gold is listed in the #5 spot on the all-time WSOP winner's list with $12,073,794 total winnings. He has only won one WSOP bracelet, but what a bracelet to win.
We've included a nostalgic photo with this article from the "old" days when the WSOP was played at Binion's Horseshoe and the cash they piled next to the final table was the real stuff. They also had a cadre of guards with loaded large bore riot guns.
2014 WSOP Poker Players Living the DreamAugust 14, 2014 - 10:49am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
How many times have you sat around and dreamed of winning an event at the World Series of Poker and becoming a member of the WSOP millionaire's club. Living the good life, eating steak and lobster for breakfast, driving the best German engineered ride to your spacious high rise condo overlooking your personal playground, the Las Vegas strip. Jumping on the private jet for a ride to the next big money tournament.
Rubbing elbows with the who's who of the game, meeting sports celebrities, 'A' list movie stars and having fans point and stare any time your out and about. What a life. No worries, no problems, only fun times. Fun at least until something or someone decides to rain on your dream.
It could be a drought on winning cards that rivals the drought on rain in South America's Atamaca Desert, four inches of precipitation every one thousand years. Maybe it's the often impossibly long hours you're forced to sit in one of the world's most uncomfortable chairs that has damaged your lower spine causing constant pain even when infused with heavy duty legal drugs that cloud your decisions. Or perhaps trying to find a place for your elbows without touching the rash inducing polymer cover of the poker table's rimming parapet has you frantically searching for a talented dermatologist on the eve of the 'big one'. The list of health issues goes on and on. If it can happen it will happen, no one is immune.
More likely it will be the tap, tap, tapping of the tax man come knocking on your condo door. As with all things that produce obscene piles of cash and expensive perks a certain high percentage of participants will somehow manage to hire a crook to handle their new wealth and end up not just broke but way, way into the red side. And that's when those always fun show-me-the-money tax guys show up and show you their guns and tell you they can haul you away in handcuffs for a long stay in a dormitory setting in a place called La Tuna or Lompoc or Leavenworth. All we have to do to learn first-hand about this fall into the tax abyss is just read some of the "where are they now," articles.
2014 WSOP November Nine Billy Pappaconstantinou Sixth on Chip List T17,500,000August 13, 2014 - 9:56am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
A nine time world foosball champion best defines the stage for our bio of William Pappaconstantinou. Traveling all the way from Dracut, Massachusetts, the 29-year-old has career poker earnings of only $16,379, most of which came from a cash in a WPT event. None of the earnings came from WSOP events, in fact, Pappaconstantinou's WSOP earnings are zero and his WSOP experience prior to the 2014 Main Event are non-existent. His poker table experience is headed by a continuing stint working as a poker dealer at a Salem, New Hampshire charity poker room, Rockingham Park Poker Room.
This unlikely WSOP Main Event final table player appears to be perfectly suited to compete with the other eight members of the 2014 November Nine. During my brief conversation with Billy Pappaconstantinou I got the definite impression that he hadn't quite fully realized he now has a 1 in 9 chance of banking $10,000,000. He will be coming to the November final table with the 6th largest chip stack at T17,500,000 and will occupy seat #1.
William Pappaconstantinou's journey to the 2014 World Series of Poker final table is almost as unusual as the player himself, an individual that never finished high school and has never held a driver's license.. He started this WSOP adventure in Canada teaching a man how to play championship foosball. The foosball player he was coaching took an interest in Pappaconstantinou's dream of playing in the WSOP Main Event and sponsored him for his trip to the Big Poker Show at the Rio in Las Vegas.
Pappaconstantinou began his Main Event with the Day1B crowd and finished with 68,775 in chips. Day 2 saw his total climb to 104,900 while Day 3 was not re3corded. Day 4 was the start of his climb to nose bleed levels when he finished with 757,000 in play money. Day 5 the climb into the rare air of the stratosphere produced a day's total of 3.37 million in chips. Day 6 Pappaconstantinou finished in 4th place on the chip leader board with 15.64 million in his stacks. Day 7 locked up his November Nine position and seat at the Main Event final table scheduled for November 10 and 11 with 17.5 million in tournament chips.
What an amazing adventure for this New Hampshire poker dealer. Billy Pappaconstantinou is considered to be the only amateur at the 2014 Main Event final table. He plans to spend his break time pursuing his world class level of play in tournament foosball.
When questioned about his success at this year's event the personable player summed up his feelings about his journey with, "This isn't realistic to me," followed by, "I'm just a poor kid dealer trying to live a dream." When asked if he thought he had a chance to win it all he responded with exactly the right statement, "We all have a shot."
We wish you all the luck at the 2014 World Series of Poker's November final table so your first time living the dream can become a reality.
2014 WSOP More Positive FactsAugust 11, 2014 - 9:15am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Anyone out there remember when there were no poker tournaments, even for the high end player? Can you remember the very first time you played in a poker tournament? Did you win, anything? How about the first time you heard of satellites. What was this? You play in a tournament and if you win you get a seat in a bigger tournament. Who would want to do that? Anyone remember Satellite Sam?
Did you know the first WSOP $10,000 Championship event won by a player that won a satellite seat was Tom McEvoy. If you know that then you probably also know that McEvoy is the most prolific author of poker books.
Now for some more fun facts from the 2014 World Series of Poker. The Big Poker Show dates back to 1970 when the World Poker Champion was decided by a ballot vote of the few players that gathered at Benny Binion's Horseshoe. The 2014 summer event at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino attracted 82,360 entrants representing 107 different countries all vying for some of the $225 million in prize money.
United States poker players won the most WSOP gold champion bracelets taking home 52 of the 64 bracelets offered this summer. The usual second place country, Canada, was shutout of the 2014 meet.
All fifty states of the U.S were represented at the 2014 WSOP while 10 Canadian Provinces sent players. To date 8,730 players cashed during the summer tournaments.
Now's the best time to start planning your journey to poker stardom so get busy and schedule your trip to the 2015 WSOP. Remember, you can't win if you don't play.

And I have a couple of appointments to which I have to run … or at least drive.
So I'm not sure if there will be anything of substance here today. Maybe later.
That was some dizzying night of dialogues and monologues in the comments section. Wow. Very impressive.
Hope to see youse all later.
Until then, I've been saving this little space-filler, and some of you may have seen it. It's a quote from the polarizing former Rangers coach, Tom Renney, after a loss by his Edmonton Oilers:
"We had a good third and we were strong in the first 10 minutes, but the white part of the Oreo cookie wasn't very good. It was awful."
Sounds, actually, like the Rangers' 2009-2010 season.

Posts Tagged 'Achuthanandan'
I wasn't interested in continuing to write against the controversial remarks by Kerala CM VS Achuthanandan. But Few Responses to my previous posts and few comments by the VS supporters prompted me to write about this issue again.
First of all let me make it clear i'm not an anti VS supporter. i supports him for his initiative in the action against real estate mafia, and other actions he has initiated in his run as CM of kerala.
My only concern is focused on Kerala CM's attitude and words he use following mumbai terror attacks.
let me pin point it out.
1) Political secretary of Kerala CM went for the Funeral of Sandeep Unnikrishnan. But did the Political secretary or anybody try to speek it out till VS made his controversial remark.??
2) Kerala Media Complained that the kerala Govt ignored Sandeeps unnikrishanan. wasnt it true? VS and Kodiyeri was at party meeting and as described in a polpular malayalam daily another minister was busy inagurating tourist boat. I didnt hear any statement from the part of govt or CM expressing their condolence officialy to martyrs family.
3) Mr Unnikrishnan Had made it clear he dont want to see any politicians and he didnt even attend call from Indian defence minister. So was it necassery for the CM tro visit sandeeps house on his way back fromthe party meeting.?
4) Wasn't it possible for CM to make a statement to press and express his condolence to Martyr even between the party meeting? it sounds ridiculious to go to a martyr's house to express condolence 3 days after the death and i day after the funeral.
5) I'm not arguing that unnikrishnan's actions were right. He wasnt right. At the same time his reaction could be seen as a reaction from a father who has lost his only son and the initial ignorance from Kerala Govt mighthave made him say that.
6) Now to the controversial remark by CM. the reporter did ask whats the comments about unnikrishnanas words. But was it appropriate for the CM to say what he said.
The media later reported that some family member of the martyr saying "reply by the chief minister as quite natural and pointed out that there would have been no controversy had such a question not been raised".
quite natural !!!! My question is–> Is it appropriate for a Chief Minister To reply in a non dignified manner ??
And about the journalist who asked the question… what is wrong in the question? the question was a simple one. CM could have ignored the question or could have replied using some better words. but he stick to the words that hurts any dignified man or family in the country
7) No regarding his reactions later. He said he wont say sorry and he never did. One o my previous Posts (Atlast he said sorry) wad based on the media reports which said he said sorry. But later when i reviewd his press conference remarks i found that he never said sorry. he just expressed his regret on the issue.
8 ) Is regret and sorry the same. ? i havnt learnt so. I still demand VS should say sorry rather than just expresing his regret. Or else in future we might have to see similar or worse remarks from politicians or others and we will have to see them escaping without saying sorry.
9) Is it sandeeps family alone who should say they have forgiven kerala CM.??
NO. sandeeps didnt die for his family he died for the entire country. i belive it is the country which has to forgive Achuthanandan and not Sandeeps family alone. But the Media found it interesting in defining the issue with just sandeeps family on the scene.
Atlast he said sorry
Posted December 3, 2008on:
At last the Honourable CM of kerala made up his mind to say sorry.
It is Very late for him to say sorry but still he said sorry.. that is something rare from politicians.
but i still stick to what i said in my last post .. his comment is the blunder of the year
Now i would like to see the BJP activists who made that dirty seen in front of Secratriate to say sorry for what they did,.
I would also like to hear the comments from Mr Unnikrishnan.
Here is what happened in CM's interview
'He (Sandeep's father) says that the Kerala chief minister did not come whereas the Karnataka chief minister came in the morning itself, and that Kerala has ignored him.
He got all worked up over this,' Achuthanandan told television channel Times Now in Thiruvananthapuram.
The chief minister asked, 'Is there a rule that the chief ministers of Kerala and Karnataka should be there at the same time?'
After a pause, the chief minister went on to say, 'If it had not been Sandeep's house, not even a dog would have glanced that way.'
'It is Sandeep's family and that is why we went. A soldier's father should have had the sense to understand that,' the chief minister said.
Pity on you Mr Chief Minister.. .. being a malayali I'm ashamed of your comments .. I curse you you'll never again win an election.
CM and home misister for their party meeeting and never bothered to even express their condolences to late major sandeep unnikrishnan's until sunday.
sandeeps father didnt allow the ministers to enter his house when they finally turned up on sunday night.
enthe abipraayathil 2 mantrimaarem mukkaliyil kettiyittu chaanaka vellam thalichu choolinadikanamaayirunu
will the malayalies in kerala learn from Mr unnikrishnan and do the same when these dirty politicians come askign for votes for next election..
I'll close my doors against these dirty politicians who just want to stick to the power and do nothing for the people. ..
i'll say it was actually publicity stunt was by achumama and kodiyeri..
if they wanted to really convey their condolences why did they announce to media about visiting sandeep's house. achumama and kodiyeri should have gone in for funeral if they were not aiming publicity stunt ..
For achumama and kodiyeri party comes first not nation..
shame on the kerala ministers..
People will respond to all this in the coming elections!!
GUYS AND GIRLS do cast your vote to people who you think would be able to bring a change to the country !! who could help India grow!!

In Buyer's Guides: Atomic Clocks
Atomic clocks receive a radio signal from the most accurate clock in the world, the cesium atomic clock, transmitted from the National Institute of Standards in Fort Collins, CO. The radio signal that covers the entire United States will keep your clock accurate to within one second over one million years. You'll never have to reset the clock, even for daylight-saving time!
The US Naval Observatory which operated 70 "atomic clocks" provided the following background information about these clocks: 'A cesium beam atomic clock uses the exact frequency emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium. Today, cesium clocks measure frequency with an accuracy of one second in 1,400,000 years! It is the most accurate realization of a unit that mankind has yet achieved. A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until they vibrate and counting the corresponding cycles as a measure of time.

First guess
Your grub configuration appears to point to two different roots!
I am attempting to boot BT3 from USB on a laptop that does not support booting from USB in BIOS. I do not want to burn a CD as I do not have any readily available. My current setup is a dual-boot to Ubuntu and Windows XP via GRUB on my internal hard drive. I installed BT3 on a 1GB USB flash drive. I am trying to boot the USB flash drive using the internally installed GRUB. I copied the vmlinuz and initrd files from boot on the flash drive to /boot on my Ubuntu install. I then added the following to my /boot/grub/menu.lst
When I restart and select this option in GRUB, it begins to load BT3 but fails. First it failed at the end of linuxrc in the initrd when it attempts to run init saying, init usage [012345... (or something along those lines).Code:title USB Drive root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz-usb vga=791 root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /initrd-usb quiet
If I edit the linuxrc file within the initrd (which I don't think is the correct way to solve the problem) to include in the call to init a runlevel of 2, I get a different error message saying, init: file not found: /dev/initctl
Thank you for assistance.
First guess
Your grub configuration appears to point to two different roots!
Lux sit
add rootdelay=20 to the kernel line
You have to do this to delay loading BT until the flash drive is detected.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss

Ther weather forecast last week was a rollercoaster of ups and downs.
With things constantly changing from picturesque summer days to what seems like tropic rainstorms at the blink of an eye, the populus of the West Coast got a bit of a nasty shock on more than one occasion when leaving their homes unprepaired for the frequent changes.
And with more troublesome showers on the way, this week we recommend stocking up on waterproofs to ensure you're not caught out.
Today: Rain showers, with some promise of sunshine. Today looks to be rather gloomy with brief dry spells in the early evening.
Monday: With a bit of a dull start to the day, things are due to improve - drying up later morning with some sunny intervals in the late afternoon
Tuesday: Sporadic rain showers through the day
Wednesday: More rain will persist today, broken up by occasional patches of sunshine.
Thursday: Looks to be mainly unchanged
Friday: Heavy rain predicted to dominate most of the day. Some sunny intervals are due to break up the afternoon
Saturday: The week is due, this week, to end on a wet note - with more showers, some sunshine.
Now may be a good time to rest from a summer of exploring the great outdoors. For those seeking something to do in a luxurious and relaxing environment, we recommend a visit to our very own private Island and stopping by for a bite of afternoon tea and a nice massage.

British bank customers are hearing a lot about a 19th-century Scottish cleric called Henry Duncan, who opened the world's first savings bank in 1810, from Lloyds Banking Group and TSB, the latest descendant of the good vicar's pioneering idea.
But the origins of "new TSB" are less inspiring than those of its ancestor. It is the brand attached to bank branches the European Commission has forced Lloyds to separate out as a condition of the group's post-crisis government bailout. In due course, Lloyds is expected to float TSB on the stock market. Read more

ICES — The Institute for Complex Engineered Systems — fosters multidisciplinary research and relationships between Carnegie Mellon University, industry, and government agencies.
Smart Infrastructure Institute (SII)
Pennsylvania's companies and institutions have a hidden secret. They are leading a Revolution in our Infrastructure. We want to help expose that secret to the world.
Tomorrow's infrastructure will blend traditional physical-infrastructure (transportation and transit systems, buildings, pipes, power grid, concrete and steel) with cyber-infrastructure (computers, networks and sensors) in ways that are just emerging. Pennsylvania has a wealth of companies, universities and institutions that are inventing many of these emerging technologies that will build or re-build the world's transportation, civil, manufacturing and other infrastructure. We will bring those organizations together to leverage and highlight this hidden secret to help to make Pennsylvania a visible leader in these critical emerging technologies.
These technologies will also need a new generation of employees to design, operate and maintain these new cyber-physical infrastructure systems and we will help Pennsylvania be a leader in educating these workers to meet the demand. The SII would be an important step toward exposing this secret.

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania's head softball coach, Leslie King, has announced the addition of two new assistant coaches to her staff in Danielle Gonzales and Devon Metcalf.
"We are very excited to have Dani on board," said King, who is entering her 10th season as head coach. "We are looking forward to using her experience as a successful Division I pitcher, hitter and coach to help our athletes continue to develop. We have a very experienced team and, with the addition of Dani to our staff, I feel like we are in a great place to challenge for an Ivy League Championship."
Gonzales makes her way to Penn via fellow Big 5 school Saint Joseph's, where she spent her last seven years, first as a standout student-athlete, then as a coach. Most recently, from 2010-12, Gonzales served as an assistant coach with the Hawks. She helped coach the Hawks to two consecutive Atlantic 10 Tournament berths, an A-10 title game appearance, and its first 30-win season since 2002.
Prior to coaching, Gonzales was a member of the Saint Joseph's softball program from 2005-09 where she was a mainstay in the circle. In addition to being captain of the team her senior season, she was a two-time A-10 All-Conference performer (2008, 2009), she was named as the team's Most Valuable Player in 2007, named to the A-10 All-Tournament Team in 2009 and was a three-time A-10 Athlete of the Week honoree.
"I am looking forward to being a part of such a prestigious school that has astounding academic and athletic standards," Gonzales said. "I can't wait to work hard and making a difference with the team and see how far we can go."
Gonzales graduated from Saint Joseph's in 2009 with a degree in sports and entertainment marketing, then again in 2012 with a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in management and marketing. Gonzales hails from Collingdale, Pa.
Keeping with the Philadelphia theme, Metcalf comes to the Quakers' coaching staff by way of the City 6 and Drexel.
"We are also excited to welcome Devon Metcalf to our staff," King said. "She had a great career at Drexel and brings a lot of insight into what makes a Division I athlete tick. Devon will be working primarily with the outfielders and hitters."
Metcalf was a member of the Dragons' softball program from 2008-12, where she played mainly third base and shortstop. There she made her name with speed, ranking in the top three on her team in stolen bases all four years, and leading the team her senior year. She was also named Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week in March of 2009.
Aside from playing, she also served as a coach on many different occasions. Most recently, she took part in the University of Pennsylvania Softball Camp where she assisted King with infield mechanics and bunting. She also assisted with the Philadelphia Softball SuperClinic and the Drexel University Skills Clinics. In addition, she was an assistant coach for the Vienna Shamrocks 14 and under softball team, a local team near her hometown of Manassas, Va.
"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Penn softball program," Metcalf said. "Not only is Penn a superb academic school, but also boasts a great athletic program. The team made it to the Ivy League Championship Series last year, and I am looking forward taking the next step this upcoming season."
Metcalf graduated from Drexel in 2012 with a degree in elementary education. She was a member of the Dean's List and was also honored as an NFCA Scholar-Athlete. She is originally from Manassas, Va.
The two assistant coaches join a program that is coming off the best season in its history. Last year the Quakers posted a 33-17 record, were the first team in school history to win 30-plus games, and return all eight of their All-Ivy League performers for the 2013 season.

Hansra Upbeat About Canada's Chances
On Friday, Canada will take on USA in the fourth match of the ICC America's T20 Tournament. On form, the match will be a defacto championship match between the two top teams in the tournament.
The young side that Canada sent to the tournament has hit their mark very quickly and Jimmy Hansra, who with Hamza Tariq, are the lone representatives from the World Cup side has led from the front to help his team to a 3-0 record.
For his part, Hansra is pleased so far with the performance of his team.
"The young squad is progressing nicely. They are sticking together outside the games and really have found a bond with each other. I wanted to ensure the unity is present, so we have been having breakfast, lunch and dinner together as a team. On our day off, all of us spend the whole day together at south beach. The atmosphere is very friendly and players are expressing themselves freely which is also helping them give their best when they play."
When asked about heading into a match against a more experienced USA team who are playing at home, Hansra was upbeat about his team's chances
"This group is hungry for wins and I highly believe they are focused regardless their opposition. Playing for their Country has been taken for granted before at times but this young group is competitive and pride themselves in winning for their Country. Our goal is come back undefeated and we have two more games to accomplish just that. "
Canada and the USA clash on Friday at 530pm Eastern Time

Victorian police still believe former detective Paul Dale is responsible for organising the murders of police informer Terence Hodson and his wife.
Mr Hodson and his wife Christine were shot dead at their Kew home in May 2004, months before he was due to give evidence against detectives Dale and David Miechel over the burglary of a drug stash house.
Detective Senior Sergeant Boris Buick, who is now in charge of the investigation, told an inquest on Friday he believes Mr Dale is responsible.
Mr Dale and convicted hitman Rodney Collins were charged with murder in 2009, but the charges were dropped the following year when gangland figure Carl Williams was killed in prison. Both deny any involvement.
Det Sen Sgt Buick said his hypothesis remains that Mr Dale asked Williams to organise a hit on Mr Hodson.
Williams then asked Collins to kill Mr Hodson, he told the Victorian Coroners Court.
"Rod Collins, being the person that he is, willingly carried out that task," Det Sen Sgt Buick said.
"There is nothing to suggest that working theory is incorrect."
Collins is serving two life sentences for the 1987 murders of Dorothy and Ramon Abbey.
Under cross examination from Mr Dale's lawyer Geoffrey Steward, Det Sen Sgt Buick said police did not have a case against the former detective without Williams.
Det Sen Sgt Buick said a $1 million reward for information remains in place.
The Hodsons' son Andrew told the inquest he removed his father's gun from the house after he and his sister found their parents dead.
"I didn't know if they were going to come after me, if they were going to come after my sisters," he said.
"I had to protect myself."
Mr Hodson eventually returned the gun to police and later pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a firearm.
He said drug kingpin Tony Mokbel, for whom he had "indirectly" worked, told him his father was a police informer.
While they shared a prison unit between late 2001 and early 2002, Mokbel had received word that his dad "was a dog", Mr Hodson said.
He said Mokbel later produced evidence of his father's informing when they met outside prison in October 2002.
"I said `prove it' and he pulled out a piece of paper that had my dad's informer number on it," Mr Hodson said.
Mr Hodson said his father denied the allegation, leading to a falling out for a number of months.
Terence Hodson eventually admitted he was an informer, saying he was doing it for the sake of his children.
Andrew Hodson said Mokbel later told him: "I'd look at Miechel in regards to your parents' murder."
Mr Hodson said he did not tell anyone about the security arrangements at the Kew home, but Det Sen Sgt Buick said police are still investigating that line of inquiry.
"It remains a possibility that he has either intentionally or deliberately passed on information that led to the murder of his parents," the detective said.
However, he said there was nothing to suggest Andrew Hodson was directly involved.
State Coroner Judge Ian Gray will hear final submissions in the inquest in November.

High voltage engineers play a crucial role in the electricity industry, as they design, install and maintain power distribution equipment and networks.
Securing an apprenticeship is one of the most common ways to find employment in the sector, with the entry-level roles leading to jobs as linesmen, mechanical or electrical craftspeople, cable jointers and substation fitters. Starting salaries for these hands-on jobs are typically in the range of £15,000 to £20,000, but experienced workers can earn £40,000 a year.
People with relevant degrees, usually in electrical engineering, can begin their careers as graduate trainees and work towards becoming a high voltage design, commissioning, power system or project engineer. New graduates are paid around £22,000 a year, but staff with more than five years' experience can command remuneration packages in excess of £45,000.
Most of the permanent employment opportunities in this sector are with electricity distribution companies and engineering contractors, but there are also jobs for high voltage specialists in the mining, oil exploration and manufacturing industries. Many experienced staff, particularly those with installation skills, choose to work on short-term contracts through recruitment agencies, as it can be more lucrative.
High voltage skills are in short supply and a number of roles have been designated shortage occupations, meaning it may be possible to obtain a work permit for qualified staff from outside the EU. Those jobs include line repairers and jointers, electricity distribution project manager, control engineer, project engineer and design engineer.

iTunes features might vary by country or region.
Sync your content with iTunes
Follow these steps to manually sync the content from your computer to your iOS device:
- Open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version.
- Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable. Your connected device appears as an icon in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window. Learn what to do if you don't see the icon.
- Click on the device icon . Look under Settings on the left side of the iTunes window for a list of the content types that you can sync from your iTunes library to your device.
If you don't have certain content in your iTunes library, you might not see some tabs. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, you won't see a Podcast tab.
iTunes can't sync certain content, including mail accounts, notes, or bookmarks. Use iCloud to manage your mail, notes, and bookmarks across your devices. Some iOS apps might use iTunes's File Sharing feature to transfer content instead of syncing.

Leon Russell concert-backstage at SB Bowl with Sepp.l
This online memorial was created in loving memory of Richard Richardson, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Richard's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Richard forever.
This is my personal story about englishman, Richard Richardson. I want to document Fancy Music in Santa Barbara California from the years 1969 to 2002. We both lived during the best years in Santa Barbara. The music was the best, the rock and roll concerts that came through Santa Barbara, were unbelievable. He was part of that. He was known for FANCY MUSIC, and he sold guitars to them all...
You meant so much to me, all my life. I believed you when you told me that you loved me all these years, although we never made any attempt to be in a relationship. You told me we had known each other in another life, maybe that is why we didn't need very long in this one to be together. But the short time we had, was everything I hoped it would be. I forever love you. So, I am looking forward to spending another life with you, my love.Our friendship, withstood a 40 + year test of time. In your last 2 years, I am so glad we talked as often as we could. You protected me from knowing any of your medical nightmares, I know now, it was hell for you. I am so sorry, I wasn't able to help you. I told you a week before you died, in our last phone call, I would pick you up and bring you home. I hoped you'd say, ok, and I sensed that meant a lot to you. The last words you said to me were, "I love you". Now I am left with this huge, raw hole in my heart, that is where you always were. It's like half of my heart has been cut out.You were always in my heart. I would stop by Fancy Music, and see you. Sometimes years would pass. But I would always stroll in, and you would always kiss me hello. I was your "GROUPIE"...

New Years special- fancy Music
I was not a drinking friend, like others on the facebook site. I was never to meet most of your bar friends. Yet I was always here, always nearby and someone you didn't have to impress with your stories. People would drop you off and pick you up at my house. I let you stay with me, as your world collapsed, and I tried to keep things calm and quiet for you.
I miss you every day. I think about you every day.
Richard and Percy
My dog, Percy was your buddy. You called him BIRDIE. He was a huge weimaraner.We often took him to Finney Beach in Summerland. You would throw the ball so far out in the ocean, it would take him a while swimming around to find it. Then he just began running and swimming out, and you'd throw it somewhere else. He began to carefully put the ball next to you in the house, then slowly walk and sit back in the corner, or in the other room and wait for you to throw it.You would speak to him in German, give him beer. He loved you very much and would sleep next to you often. He is also gone now. I gave him instructions to find you and play.
I sense, he found you.
Together, we witnessed the jets flying into the World Trade Center on 9-11, then the collapse of both towers shortly after. We were speechless. The world has changed.
Richard's buddy, Percy.
I started an ebay account where Richard could sell things. 2 items were listed. He really didn't have much left. He had an original Disney cell, of the 7 dwrarfs, that I got appraised and listed for him to sell. It sold, for more than the appraised amount. I also helped him sell and ship, a guitar in a case, to a guy in Germany, on EBAY.
I recently found a letter I wrote, for him regarding a litho print he had sold, of Catalina Island. It was very old. He cared about getting the information to the buyer.
I always tried to help him. It was always, in my heart, to care for him. I believe he appreciated everything I did for him, but he was never able to say, a simple, thank you. That's just the way things are with some people...they don't realize how important it is to say thanks. or sorry. I feel he has realized it now...as he sees, and feels the consequences, effects of, all the things he did, and said, in his physical life. Like we all will . He was a truely good, kind soul, a very nice guy. . He was decent, caring for animals, which I respect. Thank you, Richard, for giving me gifts of your humor, flowers, and love. Thanks to you also for saying you would pray for my mom, when she wasn't going to make it. You said you didn't do such things, but would, for my mom. Thank you for your continual presence, and support, always nearby. I forever love you...

RESTAURANT staff rushed to try to save four people in a helicopter that clipped a tree before crashing and bursting into flames south of Sydney, killing everyone aboard.
Employees from Panorama House, a popular restaurant and wedding venue at Bulli Tops, south of Thirroul, were serving customers when the Robinson R44 light helicopter tried to land on a nearby grassy area about 12.10pm (AEDT) on Thursday.
Norm Upton told AAP he drove past the crash about a minute after it happened as he was heading home from Sydney.
He saw "a black ball of smoke" extending 100 metres into the air from the burning helicopter which lay on its side.
"There was dust and dirt and that all around the place and the ball of smoke was about 100 metres up in the air," he said.
The aircraft burst into flames and staff ran out with fire extinguishers but were repelled by the heat of the blaze.
"I think it's a very brave action that they've put their own lives at risk in the attempt to save others," Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Steven Baker told reporters at the scene.
"It's generally acknowledged that aviation fuel is highly volatile."
Fire crews, who arrived while the aircraft was still burning, used foam to extinguish the flames.
All four people aboard died at the scene and their bodies remained inside the helicopter.
Police said the helicopter took off from Bankstown Airport with an intention to land at Panorama House for lunch.
"In doing so, it appears to have collided heavily onto the ground and ignited," Detective Inspector Tim Beattie told reporters.
Early reports that a child was among the dead were false, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) confirmed on its website.
One of the trees that line one side of the grassy area appeared to have been struck by the helicopter, with a large branch resting near the wreckage.
Police were unable to say if the helicopter hitting the tree caused it to crash.
A group of elderly people were inside the venue, along with staff who appeared distraught as they avoided the media when departing the area.
"I know that there were a number of people that were in the venue that were shaken and it was a horrific incident they were involved in or witnessed," Det Insp Beattie said.
A crew from the ATSB was expected to arrive to the scene later on Thursday to begin its investigation into what caused the crash.
Last year, the ATSB recommended that owners of all Robinson R44 helicopters replace the all-aluminium fuel tanks with bladder-type fuel tanks.
The call came after two fatal R44 crashes in NSW.
In each case, the American-built helicopters caught on fire, killing all occupants.
The recommended fuel tanks improve resistance to post-accident fuel leaks, which can cause fires.
But the manufacturer told the ATSB that only about one in 10 of the helicopters had been retrofitted.

Bernice Radferd Israel
20 October 2011 — Stockton, CA
Bernice Radferd Israel was born on 5 March 1915 in Missouri to William Jackson Israel and Bertha Lou Anna Wilson Israel. William and Bertha had eight children, two of whom died shortly after birth. During the 1940s, the Israel family came to California and found employment as migrant field workers. Bernice, the oldest son, was also a carpenter. They eventually settled in the San Joaquin Valley in California.
During World War II, Bernice was called to help defend his country and served in the China Burma India Theater. As an experienced carpenter, he was assigned to help build the Ledo Road (later renamed the Stilwell Road) which was to go from Ledo, Assam, India to Kunming, Yunnan, China. This was quite a feat due to the mountainous terrain, the dense jungle with its snakes, scorpions, malaria-carrying mosquitos, etc., and the constant danger of being attacked by the enemy.
After his stint in the Army, Bernice returned home to California and resumed his career as a self-employed carpenter. He was also a volunteer firefighter. He married and had four children. Bernice passed away on 29 February 1988. His family is very proud of his service to his country.

While my primary involvement at Adobe happens to be around the ActionScript language, I also have some background in security, and recently I have been thinking about channeling some of that into designing and implementing tools for secure programming in ActionScript. ActionScript programs are compiled to run as Flash applications (on the web) or as AIR applications (on the personal computer / mobile device); as such, they are run on platforms with security models, and their security on those platforms is controlled by various security mechanisms, both at the language-level as well as at the platform-level.
As for most platforms, there are several security controls that an application developer needs to grok, to churn out something that is actually secure (more on that later); and these controls have various nuanced security implications. Application developers who target these platforms may range from sophisticated power-users who have a deep understanding of web, computer, and mobile security (including environment-specific assumptions, attacks, and defenses) to "novice" graphics-artists who have neither the time nor the patience (and rightly so) to appreciate any cyber-security issue beyond what might be driven by common sense. For the latter users, security controls perhaps need to be automated. And even for the former users, it may be unreasonable to expect thorough and precise knowledge of the semantics of every available security control, let alone the effects they may have (desired or not) when combined in code. Yet, we must assume that attackers will always be sophisticated enough to identify any security vulnerabilities in the code, and exploit them in the worst possible manner.
So what can we do to improve this situation? Rigorous documentation can help. Illustrative tutorials can help some more. But, ultimately, we need to recognize that programmers (as humans) are not very good at combinatorial reasoning…machines are. In other words, programmers need automated tools to help them identify security vulnerabilities and eliminate them in their code. Usually, there is a gap between their high-level security intentions and the low-level security mechanisms that they need to maneuver to satisfy those intentions. Filling that gap is the job of experts; but since not all programmers are experts or have access to experts or even know that such expertise is necessary, the job has to be done by tools designed and implemented by experts…once and for all.
So I met with Peleus Uhley (platform security strategist) today, to discuss some ideas and plans along these lines. I also ended up meeting several others in the security engineering team, including: Dimitri DeFigueiredo (security researcher), who remarked that having language (static or runtime) support for immutability would be very nice from a secure-programming perspective; and Brad Arkin (senior director of product security and privacy), who shared some cool thoughts on improving the perception of security around Flash and AIR. Overall, I pushed the vision of implementing some static security analysis in our authoring tools (Flash Builder / Flash Pro) and eventually baking it into the compiler. Higher-level security intentions become security annotations (manual or auto-generated), and lower-level enforcement of those intentions with the available security controls becomes the job of a specialized static analysis-plus-synthesis tool that correctly understands what security really means on Flash and AIR, and how the security controls are implemented. And understanding what security means on those platforms is really a matter of specification: perhaps something like authorized information flow. To be investigated.

The little black book has had its share of technological transformations: from Outlook or Gmail organising our contacts to Facebook and LinkedIn, our personal networks have been digitised many times over. Yet the importance of meeting someone in person and striking up a rapport is unchanged. Dating services aside, few online social networks have succeeded in brokering new face-to-face connections offline.
That's starting to change.

MOOC providers in 2016
According to Class Central a quarter of the new MOOC users in 2016 came from regional MOOC providers such as XuetangX (China) and Miríada X (Latin America).
They list the top five MOOC providers by registered users:
XuetangX burst onto this list making it the only non-English MOOC platform in top five.
In 2016, 2,600+ new courses (vs. 1800 last year) were announced, taking the total number of courses to 6,850 from over 700 universities.
Jobs in cyber security
In a new fact sheet the Tech Partnership reveals that UK cyber workforce has grown by 160% in the five years to 2016. 58,000 people now work in cyber security, up from 22,000 in 2011, and they command an average salary of over £57,000 a year – 15% higher than tech specialists as a whole, and up 7% on last year. Just under half of the cyber workforce is employed in the digital industries, while banking accounts for one in five, and the public sector for 12%.
Number students outside EU falls in UK
Times Higher Education reports the number of first-year students from outside the European Union enrolling at UK universities fell by 1 per cent from 2014-15 to 2015-16, according to data released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
Data from the past five years show which countries are sending fewer students to study in the UK.
Despite a large increase in the number of students enrolling from China, a cohort that has grown by 12,500 since 2011-12, enrolments by students from India fell by 13,150 over the same period.
Other notable changes include an increase in students from Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia and a fall in students from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.
Peer Review
According to the Guardian, research conducted with more than 6,300 authors of journal articles, peer reviewers and journal editors revealed that over two-thirds of researchers who have never peer reviewed a paper would like to. Of that group (drawn from the full range of subject areas) more than 60% said they would like the option to attend a workshop or formal training on peer reviewing. At the same time, over two-thirds of journal editors told the researchers that it is difficult to find reviewers

If he had his way, he would have been as big, bad and destructive as a Stalin or a Hitler...he wanted to clear the planet of everyone who wasn't a Scientologist..."do away with them quietly and without sorrow"...
It's only because many GOOD people were alert to the crimes and abuses of cults like his and were "Critics"...supporting other former members who learned the truth about him and his "group" and then stood up, walked out, spoke out and went to the authorities about his (and his followers) criminal activities that slowed him down...do you think he fled countries, was ousted from countries, and went into HIDING in his home country for no reason?
I understand that you don't consider the man to be an evil person, Vadi. Clearly, I do, as do some others here. I grew up seeing Scientology ruin people's lives...destroy otherwise loving families...all for the sake of one man's manic, insatiable greed for money and CONTROL over others. That to me is the epitome of evil.
You're entitled to your opinions, and we're still friends.

A new article entitled, "The Importance of Knowing Dry Matter Concentration When Buying (or Selling) Feeds," has been published as an Ohio State University Dairy Issue Briefs (DIBS # 28-13).
The article looks at why dry matter concentration must be considered when buying or selling feeds and provides steps to follow when pricing wet feeds. Feed sampling advice also is given.
"Water in feeds dilutes nutrients that have economic value," explains Bill Weiss, professor and extension dairy specialist, The Ohio State University. "Adjusting for the water concentration in feeds will help price them more accurately which will ultimately improve the bottom line for both buyers and sellers."

Every once in awhile Sharpie gets in the middle of a little romance, doing its part to connect people and sweeten the sentiment. In this case, Barbara Nixon, who describes herself on Twitter as " PR professor (Georgia Southern University in Savannah), PhD candidate, listener, Presbyterian, NASCAR fan, Auburn fanatic and mom of four," used Sharpie to create this really clever Valentine's Day card for her husband, Kevin.
I always shop the top of the card aisle for those big $5 greeting cards. In fact, when it comes to my mother-in-law, the bigger the better. Sometimes I even get crazy and buy up a card that sings. Personally, I think there's nothing more special than a handmade card like this one. In fact, I am going to copy it and make one for each of my kids, albeit with a few adjustments (i.e. Hot Tomales and kissable lips). Leave it to a PR pro like Barbara to come up with such a clever idea.
So sweet. So Sharpie.

My images folder currently lists all the images inside when I go to mysite.com/images. I want to prohibit direct access to the images folder. How can I have something like http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/images/ or http://w3schools.com/images/ ?
Just put a file inside the images folder called index.html. It can be blank, or can have a message such as "Access Denied". But with that file in there, it's not possible to view the contents of the folder in the way you described.
Ralph, thanks for the quick answer. I have many subfolders in the images folder and it seems that I need to put an empty index.html file in every subfolder. Isn't there a better approach?
also, if you are in a linux server you can prevent directory browsing via .htaccess
Options All -Indexes
You mean Apache...nothing to do with Linux.
yes. Also, if it is nothing to do with linux you can try to include .htaccess files in Apache and Windows. Come here and tell me the results of yout attempt.
It doesn't take long to do that, though. I just do it as a standard thing every time I create a folder.
Yes, this worked, thanks.
Ralph, even if it doesn't take any time I would always prefer a non-manual solution.
Works just fine on Windows. It works because it has nothing todo with the operating system Apache is running on.

Single? 5 Ways To Stay Sane In A World Of Couples
Are you about to burst? Don't! Here's how to stay sane if you're single in a world full of couples.
I remember being a single girl and receiving an invitation to a wedding, knowing mostly couples would attend. As much as I would look on the positive side and think 'I might meet Mr. Right there' (because that was always in the back of my mind), the reality was that my married friends would all have each other, and I would once again feel like the lonely fifth wheel.
It always seemed to be little old single me amongst all the happy, smiling couples who seemed to have everything I was looking for. No matter how much I tried to feel okay by myself, that deep longing to be part of a couple never went away. Nor did the feeling that there was something wrong with me that made me wonder if I would ever figure out what it was I was supposed to do to be on that other side, the elusive couples side that always seemed to escape me.
Read Five Dates That Will Make Your Fall a Little Sweeter
No matter how much we may believe that we are living in a different world today, the reality is that it's almost impossible to forget that we are living in a couple's world. From the numerous times you're asked if you're dating anyone or why you're not married yet (or something else along those lines), to the special rates offered to couples everywhere from gyms to resorts to big box stores, the implied message is always the same – if you're not part of a couple, there's something wrong with you!
At least that was how I always felt. For those of you who are able to ignore those messages and live your single lives to the fullest without feeling that way somewhere deep down inside, I admire you for being able to authentically be in that space amid such external pressure. But for the rest of us, I've got a few things to share with you that I wish I had understood back when I was feeling so discontented being single when everyone else seemed to be with someone.
So what's a single gal to do in this couples' world? Plenty!
Read the rest here!
