Corn futures are lower at midsession. Thursday's poor export sales figure has stirred concern about demand. The selling pressure pushed futures below Thursday's low and the 50 day moving average which has trigged additional technically based selling, driving March futures to a 2 1/2 week low. After some recent buying, traders are also evening positions ahead of USDA's December 11 supply and demand update. The trade expects USDA to boost projected carryover by 15-20 million bushels from 647 million in November, probably based on lower exports. The March contract is 12 cents lower at $7.39 1/2. December 2013 is 7 1/4 cents lower at $6.36 1/2.
Soybean and its products were all trading lower by midmorning. The soybean market actually reversed gains occurring overnight that had lifted the January contract to within a whisker of the $15 benchmark. Soybean prices broke lower in the half hour following the release of the monthly employment report and have traded weakly since then. The dollar has been stronger today, which can be a bearish influence. USDA did announce that China bought 115,000 tonnes. Heavy rains hit areas of Argentina again. January beans were down 8 1/4 cents at $14.83. November 2013 beans were down 3 1/2 cents at $13.31 1/2.
Wheat futures have only added to early losses in midday trade Friday. If Argentina's woes are going to benefit the U.S. in shifting global export business our way, one might think ongoing reports would show more evidence of such a shift. U.S. export sales year-to-date lag where they "should" be to warrant USDA's current forecast for 1.1 billion bu. in 2012-13. In fact, the gap widened out another 10 million bu. in Thursday's weekly sales report, to 220 million. However, producers in the U.S. southern Plains are growing increasingly pessimistic about survivability of their poorly-established crop. Some pundits are warning that up to a fourth of the acreage in some large portions of wheat country may not survive even a normal winter. At midday, CBOT March is down 5 3/4 at $8.56 1/4, KCBT March is down 4 3/4 at $9.07 1/4 and MGE March is down 4 3/4 at $9.30 1/2.
News that Russia seems prepared to halt imports of U.S. beef and pork that haven't been tested for the growth promotant ractopamine undercut CME live cattle futures Friday morning. This could represent a serious issue since Russia has become a significant importer of American red meat. Talk that the deadline on this issue arrives this weekend probably weighed upon prices as well. Given the relative weakness of beef demand at current elevated prices, an embargo upon sales to Russia could further depress the cattle market. February futures declined 0.52 cents to 130.52, while its April counterpart fell 0.65 cents to 134.30 cents/pound.
The news of potential restrictions on Russian imports of American beef and pork also depressed CME lean hog futures. Indeed, the drug concerned, ractopamine, is probably more heavily used for hogs than for cattle, which may partially explain the relatively large hog losses. Unfortunately for bullish interests and for producers, this comes at a time when the market was already suffering increasing pressure from seasonally large production and the traditional ham market breakdown as grocers complete their purchases for the holiday season. This may bode quite ill for the short-term outlook. February hogs fell 1.15 cents to 83.30 cents/pound, while June futures 0.67 cents at 98.35 cents/pound.

Tracy Coleman
I am a scholar of Hinduism and its traditions of bhakti (devotion), especially Krishna-bhakti in the Sanskrit epics and purāṇas, and my teaching and research address issues of women, men, and gender in religion and society. My current book manuscript -- a study of Krishna's relationships with women in the Harivaṃśa, the Viṣṇu Purāṇa, and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa -- reconsiders the prevalent claim that bhakti empowers women in social and religious life. My study demonstrates to the contrary that despite the democratic potential of various devotional movements in which women are sometimes glorified, bhakti often functions as a conservative historical process upholding the traditional patriarchal order. By situating the development of bhakti within a larger cultural discourse on dharma (truth, duty, proper behavior), the book explores Krishna's sensuous relationships with women in contrast to the Buddha's ascetic renunciation of familial attachments and thus shows how competing conceptions of dharma were linked to heroic male figures as embodiments of truth and authority in socio-religious life. The eventual book will thereby provide a brief comparative history of gender and salvation in South Asian religions and offer a new interpretation of bhakti that holds relevance for the study of religion and social change in other cultures.

Representatives of nine Central Massachusetts colleges and universities and the United States Army Health Care Team will introduce local high school students to the nursing programs available in their own backyard when the Graduate School of Nursing and the member schools of the Worcester Nursing Pipeline Consortium host the annual Nursing Schools Expo on Monday, April. 1
Practicing nurses will headline the program with discussions about the many career paths the field offers. Students and their parents will have opportunities for networking and one-on-one meetings with admissions officers for undergraduate, post-graduate and military training programs. More than 90 students turned out for last year's record-breaking event.
The Worcester Nursing Pipeline Consortium was formed in 2000 to increase enrollment, retention, graduation and academic advancement of qualified nursing students and nurses committed to improving health care in Worcester and Central Massachusetts.
Free and open to the public, the Nursing Schools Expo will take place from 4 to 7:30 p.m. in the Medical School Lobbies at UMass Worcester. A buffet dinner will be served, with RSVPs requested by March 27. For more information and to RSVP, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 508-856-3399.

^agree, certainly could be exciting.
Working your way around what Apple has put in place is worthy of praise. Shows skill and ingenuity. STEALING sensitive internal documents. What an A*@Hole!!!
People are tweeting 'bootrom exploit' but I have a feeling this is deeper than that...
I'm wondering if he's discovered an unpatchable exploit that's found in all firmwares and is required by Apple when they create their ipsw file. Apple would have to completely rewrite how they create firmwares which would be counterproductive considering all the iDevices already sold. Lastly, Apple might not even be able to locate the exploit!
If it lets me jailbreak an iPhone 5S when it comes out with iOS 7 I'm all for it!!
Continue to free our devices, by any means necessary!
Jailbreaking is amazing and all. I really appreciate all the amazing devs taking their time to find exploits and bring us new jailbreaks. What I'm not going to say is alright, is breaking into Apple servers and stealing files. Until now, we've gotten jailbreaks without any dev having to attack Apple.
People always love to blow their own horn. Bigger than jailbreak? We'll have to see. Apple dislikes jailbreaking enough as it is, though the court ruled it legal, they always patch exploits. Sneaking into their servers and stealing files, well... if they find you in there, you're done for. But I look forward to whatever he's working on.
Bigger than a jail break. My guess is you can update any firmware and not lose your jailbreak.

Post what have you done, also chipset and wep or wpa-wpa2..Sorry, we cannot take guesses..
i got a problem in my ALFA AWUS036NHR on airodump-ng
(no assocciated) even in my roter with computers connected i still have(no assocciated)
how to solve the problem? someone help me pls
tnk you!
Post what have you done, also chipset and wep or wpa-wpa2..Sorry, we cannot take guesses..
Hello helsil
This Is my First Post Here in BackTrack Forums
I have also Just got AWUS036NHR
Man i think The drivers for it is Beta'tastic on Linux
I think You (and I) May need new Drivers
I will test My Card And See Wat It is up in my lab
Becuse I have Noticed That it dose Show a Lot of (no assocciated) stations when you use airodump-ng
Since I dont intend to use the AWUS036NHR for pentest i have not run aircrack-ng on it.
Hello maverik35
You wanted to know about the driver
Its a RTL8188RU chipset driver version unknown
but im using Backtrack5 R3 KDE x64 (i have no idea what helsil is using)
Ok i hope The moderator remembered to post my first post or this will make no Sense
I have tested and This is what i get :
airodump-ng mon0 command:
Code:CH 9 ][ Elapsed: 5 mins ][ 2012-12-01 17:45 BSSID PWR Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID F4:EC:38:xx:xx:xx -91 1054 464 0 9 54e WPA2 CCMP PSK DarkPhoenix.Net BSSID STATION PWR Rate Lost Frames Probe (not associated) 00:26:66:xx:xx:xx -35 0 - 2 0 23
airmon-ng wlan1 command:
So i think its a driver issue...Code:Interface Chipset Driver wlan1 Unknown rtl8192cu - [phy1] (monitor mode enabled on mon0) wlan0 Intel 4965AGN iwl4965 - [phy0]
The below station is suppose to be connected to the AP on the top
but its clearly NOT
Here is something kinda related
airmon-ng wlan0 command:
So Maby the backtrack r3 x64 KDE drivers are all broken or somethingCode:wlan0 Intel 4965AGN iwl4965 - [phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
I know for a fact that my 4965AGN worked on BT5r0 KDE 32bit
Now How to fix..pls
Now, one more time, here we go again and again: CHIPSET is the trick..Chipset, no the brand...Once you have the chipset info, then you start to realize what you can and cannot do...
refer here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?...st_card_to_buy
and read it all...
refer also here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
Now if you want to use aircrack-ng you need 2 and only 2 things that driver must be capable of: "MONITOR MODE" and "INJECTION in MONITOR MODE"..No monitor mode, no injection, as easy as 123.
You want to use the rest of BT5 (excluding all app that uses monitor mode or aircrack-ng as support), refer to the second link I posted or the vendor site for driver.
The verdor's or linux driver, do not assure you that supports monitor mode and injection natively, in such case, you need to patch the driver, look for the patch in the aircrack-ng site, depending on your chipset and kernel version.
The BT5 job is to provide all possible "patched" drivers and "natively" drivers to many wifi cards..If your card is not supported, you have to work it out.
Buy a supported device or use beini (RTL 8xxxx version) for the chipset and it is a aircrack-ng GUI fork. It works for all rtl 8xxx series. But just to audit wifi AP's.

I found This :
Maby it will Help
i Will test it later.....
I found this too:
If you read the comments they have the same problems as im having
Not connecting to AP
Not Showing Connected stations
Not able to change TX power
so i think updating to compat-wireless-2011-10-06.tar.bz2 drivers are pointless
maby try compat-wireless-2012-12-02.tar.bz2
im having CPU compatible issues with my Linux box so till i have the bios updated i cannot test
(im using 3g and plan to go online With BT thru a Windows ICS im using my laptop to connect to internet in windows bt i running BT on it now)
i hv a problem in my ALFA AWUS036NHR on airodump-ng , use bactrack 5 or r3 and is the same
(no assocciated) even in my roter with computers connected i still have(no assocciated)
some 1 know to solve the problem? someone help me pls
I just got My new AWUS036NH...
In Windows i get more AP's with my AWUS036NHR (With inSSIDer) than the AWUS036NH
But at least i can capture and inject with the AWUS036NH (dose not work on VMware) and i have to reboot ever so often
I only hope the next version of Backtrack Supports the AWUS036NHR fully....

Adnan Oktar: The Balkans has always been Ottoman soilup until the inlands of Italy. Up until the vicinity of Italy, the whole region was land of Ottomans. Everywhere you see the signs of Ottomans, the beauty of Ottomans. Those places will become a city of peace, a territory of peace within Turkish Islamic Union… Turkish Islamic Union will offer them only abundance, richness and peace. Turkish Islamic Union will offer peace and happiness to everywhere including Bosnia and Albania.
Abu Dhabi TV, 19 February 2009
Adnan Oktar: Syria wants to unite with Turkey, and Iraq. And if Syria and Iraq want it, so will everyone else. Azerbaijan wants it, and Armenia wants to unite with Turkey. Georgia wants it, so what else needs to be done? It is a union that will also include Lithuania. It will be a union that includes Lithuania, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and East Turkestan and all of them. AS FAR AS LIBYA. A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL EMERGE THAT STRETCHES AS FAR AS THE COAST AND INTERIOR OF AFRICA. TURKEY HAS PRIOR EXPERIENCE, EXPERIENCE FROM THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. AND THIS TIME ROUND, THE ERRORS OF THE OTTOMANS WILL NOT BE REPEATED. The perfect aspects of the Ottomans will be adopted, but not their errors or deficient aspects, and a perfect union will result.
Trt-World.com, 30 September 2011
Prime Minister's arrival in Macedonia was a moral boost for 80 thousand Turks who reside in this country.
Premier Erdoğan also visited historical Mustafa Paşa Mosque. Greeted with cheers outside the mosque, Erdoğan addressed Macedonians here and said "Our sorrows and joys are the same, despite the distance between our countries."
Noting that Islam is a religion of brotherhood and peace, Erdoğan said Mustafa Paşa Mosque will be the symbol of peace in Skopje, like it has been for the past 519 years.
Underlining the importance of unity, solidarity and cooperation, Turkey's Prime Minister said "We are here to stand shoulder to shoulder and to cooperate."
Trend – 1 October 2011
Turkey's prime minister expressed on Friday Turkey's wish that all ethnic groups in Macedonia would live in peace and prosperity, AA reported.
Erdogan expressed belief that the happiness, security and prosperity of Turkish community in Macedonia would connect Turkey and Macedonia to each other with stronger ties.

"We used a colorful print that had grey background hues, which complemented the text box portion of this card well. The designer helped us center our image and optimize it for printing. We are very happy with our purchase and can't wait to send these out! As others have said, keep in mind that these post cards are on the small side, but we knew that going in and thus got what we expected."
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."

The intelligent i-Walker
In the same office we work at, we have the SHARE-it guys. The main purpose of this project is to design and implement AI systems that help people with disabilities, as the acronym indicates: Supported Human Autonomy for Recovery and Enhancement of cognitive and motor abilities using Information Technologies.
This definition, as always, seems quite abstract, but they are already showing stuff that will be really useful. The underlying IA system will allow for the creation of intelligent software and hardware to assist disabled people, specially elders.
One of these devices is the i-Walker, an intelligent walker that is location-aware, and assists the patient in moving, for example, through a house or a hospital. The user can interact with an interface plugged into the walker using verbal commands, and its levels of autonomy can be adjusted for a better experience. The same concepts will be applied to a wheelchair.
Other devices that will be built on top of the IA system include an RFID bracelet which collects information about the movements made and the objects around the user. With this information, a PDA will be able to act as a personal agenda, predicting the needs of the user and the recommended actions to take (e.g. it's time to take the pills).
This running project not only looks good from the research perspective but also seems to have real useful application. In fact, along with one of its leaders, Ulisés Cortés, SHARE-it has started to have a deserved media exposure.

School districts in the Houston area closely monitored the school shooting in Connecticut on Friday. Some of them have stepped up security.
KPRC Local 2 asked school districts in the area about their visitor policies. Here are the statements they released:
Houston ISD
The following statement is being issued in response to requests for HISD comment regarding today's mass shooting at a Connecticut school. No further statements on the incident will be issued today.
"The Houston Independent School District joins the nation in mourning the tragic loss of life at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn. Crisis management procedures, which include campus lockdown protocols, are in place at every HISD campus. The approximately 200 officers in the HISD Police Department receive regular crisis response training as well. The safety of students and staff is HISD's top priority."
Aldine ISD
Aldine ISD requires visitors to present a Texas Driver License or Texas ID, which is scanned for child-related criminal offenses. The district implements lock-down procedures at the request of law enforcement or when campuses or surrounding communities are on security alert.
Alief ISD
All visitors must present a state-issued license or ID which is run through Raptor, a national criminal data base. Most Houston area school district have the same policy.
Alvin ISD
Alvin ISD is aware and we are deeply saddened by the situation in Connecticut. Our District administrators and Campus Police Department have been notified and asked to increase their level of vigilance. Our district utilizes the Raptor System that runs a background check on all non-employees that visit one of our district campuses. Additionally, all volunteers that serve on a campus are run through a background check in our Human Resources Department. The volunteers are then added to a district wide database that shows they have been approved through the HR Department.
Barbers Hill ISD
Prominent notices shall be posted at each campus requiring all visitors to first report to the campus administrative office. This shall apply to parents, Board members, volunteers, social service workers, invited speakers, maintenance and repair persons not employed by the District, vendors, representatives of the news media, former students, and any other visitors. Visits to individual classrooms during instructional time shall be permitted only with the principal's and teacher's approval, and such visits shall not be permitted if their duration or frequency interferes with the delivery of instruction or disrupts the normal school environment.
The Superintendent, working with campus administrators, shall develop and implement procedures regarding campus visitors who are identified as sex offenders. These procedures shall address:
1. Parental rights;
2. Escort by District personnel;
3. Access to common areas of the campus;
4. Access to classrooms;
5. Drop off and release of students;
6. Eligibility to serve as volunteers; and
7. Any other relevant issues.
Channelview ISD
Channelview ISD's contract deputies with Harris County Precinct 3 Constable's Office are keeping a heightened sense of awareness around the district's campuses. Per district policy, visitors must check-in at the school's main office and have their driver's license scanned into a database, which is connected to Texas DPS. If the visitor is allowed on campus, their driver's license is held at the main office until they check out to leave.
Cy-Fair ISD
We have been monitoring the details from this tragic incident as they became available this morning. We have been sharing the information with the Police Department Command Staff and Police Officers to provide an increased awareness and visibility around all of our campuses.
Deer Park ISD
Our hearts go out to the victims of today's tragic shooting in Connecticut. We are not on alert, but we are certainly aware of what has happened. School safety is always our highest priority, and we have a number of security measures in place.
All visitors to our schools and other buildings must check in at the main office to receive a visitor badge before accessing the building. Visitors are checked into our database, which cross-references the visitor's ID with the state child criminal list. All adults in our buildings must wear an ID badge [either an employee badge or a visitor badge]. Our employees are trained to report any unauthorized visitors [people without a badge].
Fort Bend ISD
This important message is being sent to you on behalf of Fort Bend ISD Police Chief David Rider.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families in Newtown, Connecticut, after the tragic shootings at the elementary school this morning.
The District is closely monitoring the reports of the tragedy as it unfolds. Today, Fort Bend ISD Police have been checking with all of our elementary campuses to support them. The District constantly reviews emergency procedures with all campuses to ensure that school officials follow these procedures. As part of the District's crisis plan, these procedures are reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis and training is provided to staff members. We also practice drills with students to let them know what to do to in the event of an emergency.
Unfortunately, this tragedy is a reminder to our staff and parents to be aware of all surroundings and report any unusual situation and/or suspicious person to the proper authorities.
The safety of our Fort Bend ISD students and staff is our highest priority.
Galveston ISD
District police at elementary schools are on high alert as a precautionary measure.
Katy ISD
Today our nation witnessed one of the most horrific events that one can imagine as a gunman took the lives of approximately 20 elementary school children and several staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Our hearts go out to the families of the students and staff members who were impacted by today's tragedy, as well as the entire Newtown community.
Even though this took place hundreds of miles away from Katy, its impact reaches across the nation and gives us reason to pause and think about our own schools and the safety and well-being of our own children, as no community is immune to random acts of violence.
At this hour, there is still a lot of information to learn with regard to the Connecticut shooter, his relationship to the school, how he gained access to the building, and the security measures that were in place. I want, however, to take this opportunity to reassure you that here in Katy ISD we take proactive measures to not only be prepared to respond to such incidents, but to prevent – to the extent that we can – them from occurring in the first place.
As an immediate response, Katy ISD police officers will have an increased presence in and around our campuses next week. In addition, our counselors have been put on standby to be prepared to meet with students who may have emotional concerns as a result of today's tragedy.
In addition to the above, the district has other measures in place to help keep students and staff safe. For instance, in recent years we have upgraded many of our facilities with entry vestibules to help control access to our campuses and have established procedures for all campus visitors. We also provide training to our campus staff to reinforce proper procedures with regard to keeping doors locked, questioning suspicious individuals and proper response procedures should an intruder make their way on campus.
Katy ISD also has plans and procedures in place to address emergency situations that a campus or the district may face. The district's School Safety Task Force, which includes representatives from each campus, as well as from local EMS, fire, and law enforcement, reviews these plans annually. In addition, an emergency response guide is located in every classroom and is accessible from the desktop of every staff computer in the district.
Finally, I would also like to stress the important role we all have in keeping our students and schools safe. Research shows that in cases involving school violence, someone knew something about the threat but never alerted anyone. Please take this time to talk to your children about the important role we all have in keeping our schools safe by reporting potential threats to the proper authorities.
The safety and security of students and staff members on our campuses is of the highest priority and by working together to create healthy and positive relationships with teachers and the school, we can ensure that we provide safe teaching and learning environments.
Klein ISD
The Klein ISD extends heartfelt condolences to the Sandy Hook Elementary School community in Newton, Conn., during this tragedy. This is a stark reminder of the importance of the safety procedures already in place in the Klein ISD. There is district protocol for these types of crisis management situations, including lockdown procedures, for every campus. Alongside the 37 Klein ISD police officers, the administrators, teachers, and staff are trained regularly on safety procedures. Rest assured that the safekeeping of students and staff in the Klein ISD is always a top priority.
New Caney ISD
The shooting this morning is a stark reminder of the importance of our safety procedures and our check-in and screening processes for all visitors to campuses. While this seems to be an isolated incident, we have asked that our principals be sensitive to concerns or questions that parents may have regarding our own procedures. We remain vigilant in our processes and procedures to protect our students.
Check the school district's policies regarding visitors on campus.
Pasadena ISD
In Pasadena ISD, we have notified our principals of the shooting so that they are aware of the tragedy. We do have policy requiring visitors to report to the front office of each campus. When they come, we process their ID through a Visitor Tracking System (Raptor). Then they wear a "visitor badge" while on campus. The entire policy is available at: http://pol.tasb.org/Policy/Download/597?filename=GKC(LOCAL).pdf
Pearland ISD
Pearland ISD administrators are aware of the tragic situation this morning at an elementary school in Connecticut and express our deepest sympathy.
District personnel work closely with Pearland Police Department and emergency management officials to keep abreast of issues that could impact the safety of our students and
We frequently review our crisis management procedures and students and staff regularly perform safety and lock-down drills to prepare for emergencies.
Our objective is to prepare students for any situation while also protecting them from messages or images that would alarm them. We strive to balance the need to be informed with the maturity levels of our students. The safety and security of our student and staff is always our top priority.
Regarding Pearland ISD's policy/procedures to visitors on campus:
· Pearland ISD has a very strong presence of police officers throughout the district available to get to any problem quickly, if they are not already on the campus.
· All visitors to a campus must sign in with the receptionist/front office and provide a photo ID.
· For campus security, the district uses an electronic database to store information concerning visitors to district campuses.
· Pearland ISD facilities have video camera coverage at the main entrances.
· Doors at our facilities, except for the main entrance, are locked. Visitors must enter through main entrance.
Stafford MISD
The district always places a priority on ensuring the safety of students and employees. Standard procedures are implemented and tested on a regular and ongoing basis to reduce the likelihood of an event happening like the tragic shooting in Connecticut. The district requires visitors to schools to submit identification which is processed using an online visitor screening and management system (Raptor).
Texas City ISD
"We are always on alert to have a safe campus. I've provided policy, procedures from the handbook and information from our Emergency Operations Manual on how we drill and how we would respond to a crisis situation similar to what happened today. Please be cautious on what you share as to not threaten the safety of our plans.
Every campus has a secured entry. That was accomplished with the 2007 Bond projects. Visitors are forced to check into the office first and receive a visitor pass and be scanned through our Raptor system They have to have a specific purpose to be on campus.
We will have additional officers patrolling the perimeters of all of our schools this afternoon and each day next week.
Our teachers and staff receive annual training. Those pages are attached. All campus staff received training in August from our Galveston County Sheriff's Liaison Officers called When Seconds Count, a reenactment of a school shooting.
Waller ISD
The safety of Waller ISD students and staff is always a top priority. Our Administration Team and our School Resource Officers are aware of the tragedy. We are deeply saddened
by this tragedy. Our deepest condolences go to family and loved ones during this time of grief.
Parents and other adult visitors are welcome to visit District schools provided they show a state issued ID. All visitors must report to the receptionist and sign in to get a visitor's badge. The visitor's badge must be worn while visiting and returned when the visit is over. Visits to individual classrooms during instructional time shall be permitted only with the principal's approval. Such visits shall not be permitted if their duration or frequency interferes with the delivery of instruction or disrupts the normal school environment. Classroom visits should be arranged at least 24 hours in advance. Driver's license/identification will be kept in the front office until the visitor checks out. Student visitors are not allowed
Note: No visitors are allowed campus visits on state assessment testing days.
When visitors, volunteers, or contractors check in to a campus - or when parents come to pick up students during the day - they will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID for entering into the V-Soft system. The V-Soft system is a computerized visitor tracking system that screens visitors using public sex offender database information as well as any additional alert data entered by the school in regard to custody issues, restraining orders, and WISD prohibited persons.

Jaguar, Panthera onca
Visitors at the DWA often refer to our resident Jaguars, as "cheetahs" or "leopards". Of these three cats, only Jaguars have spots inside spots. They are also bigger, some weighing over 300 pounds (tigers and lions are the only bigger cats). Jaguars have a much stockier build and are excellent swimmers. They have massive jaws, with twice the biting power of a lion. They live alone, except when a female raises cubs. Found from Arizona to Argentina, they are endangered, due to hunting for their pelts and habitat loss. They often live 20 years in zoos.

New York -- Another Ron Johnson-appointee and former Apple executive has left J.C. Penney. Ben Fay, who was brought as EVP real estate, store design and development, has left the company, according to the Dallas Morning News. Returning to Penney in an advisory capacity is the chain's former senior VP of property development, Tom Clerkin, who took early retirement from the company last year, the report said.
Fay, who served as senior director of retail real estate, design and development at Apple, joined Penney in spring 2012. At the time, then-CEO Johnson stated: "Ben is an incredibly creative professional with extraordinary leadership skills. Having worked with him over the last 12 years, I am delighted to see Ben step into this new role at jcp. His design influence has made the Apple stores highly regarded retail destinations around the world, and I am excited to have Ben place his own mark on jcp as we re-imagine the J.C. Penney store of the future."
In the weeks since Johnson left Penney, several of his key appointees — also former Apple execs — have left, including Dan Walker, chief talent officer, and Michael Kramer, COO.

Rosslyn Park vice-captain Harry Rowland has rewritten the club records by becoming the first man to skipper the side at every level from U12s to the first team.
The 25-year-old flanker, who took over the armband from the injured Darrell Ball for the 27-15 National League One win over Coventry on Saturday, played his first game for the club in 1999.
Rowland, who spent time at London Irish and Molesey before returning to Park three years' ago, said: "I could not be more proud. Park means everything to me and when I pull on the red and white shirt I give it my all.
"I didn't really know about the record and I think it is unlikely to be beaten with the trend today of players moving from club to club."
Head coach Jan Bonney said: "We're really lucky to have someone like Harry at the club. He is a great leader."
Beating Coventry marked back-to-back wins for Park, keeping them in touch with the top teams in fourth spot.
Bonney said: "When we're on form we're a good side. We have been working hard on not giving away silly points and penalties and I was pleased with the defensive performance. We also scored good tries so a pleasing day."
Nev Edwards, Rowland and Steve Hamilton got the tries while Ross Laidlaw kicked two penalties and three conversions.
Park host bottom club Loughborough Students, who were promoted from National Two last season, on Saturday.

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 Review: Know Your Platformby Ian Cutress on 12/11/2012 1:21 AM EST
- Posted in
- Motherboards
11 Comments
Back to Article
torp - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkIt makes no sense to build a system like that, you'd go FM2 if you want to use the integrated video... and then a 3-400W power supply, or even a PicoPSU would suffice.
The power consumption test basically gives no useful information. Reply
axelthor - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkIf you'd read the article instead of just skimming through it an looking at the graphs you would know why. Reply
ssj3gohan - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkYeah, but just keep in mind that for almost all reviews (especially on anandtech) the power consumption figures are just there as a checkbox feature of the review, they rarely if ever mean something useful. Judging from their more polished reviews and the podcast, it's not a case of lack of intelligence or craftmanship that they bodge up every power measurement, it just seems that they don't have enough time to properly execute this part of a review.
So, if I start slagging off these otherwise awesome people I should give them some advice as to how they can properly execute this, right?
First and foremost, and this is not meant as flaming or anything: if you don't know what you're doing, don't publish it. By 'not knowing' I don't mean you're an idiot but I mean that you do not fully understand all aspects of power consumption. Power consumption is a ridiculously complicated matter, it depends not just on recognizable BIOS features, the high-level OS, drivers and hardware composition, but also to a fairly high level on temperature, implementation quirks/bugs and simply offset errors on voltage regulators. The only way to make a truly level playing field is for the reviewer to orthogonalize *all* these factors. Always use the same OS on the same drive with the same BIOS features enabled and verified as working. Measure, directly, the DC power consumption of all non-motherboard components if you just want to isolate the effect of the motherboard. Orthogonalize power distribution by not measuring AC but going for DC power measurements. NEVER extrapolate or guess (e.g. silentpcreview uses a lookup table to go from AC to DC watts, which is categorically wrong), always measure directly. And last but not least: always do a sanity check, look at the manufacturer's data sheets (they are basically always right) and check your findings with other reviewers. It doesn't matter if you differ somewhere, as long as you have a complete explanation of why it differs and why your numbers are correct.
For instance, Anandtech publishes a lot of SSD reviews and always does a power consumption test. These are basically all wrong, as are nigh-on all other SSD power consumption figures on other review sites. They test idle power consumption under a fairly old linux kernel that apparently doesn't understand the DIPM (device initiated power management) power management feature. This is a feature that is supported on every major OS release and chipset since Vista and greatly reduces idle power consumption. The consequence is that measured idle power consumption is galaxies away from actual real-world idle power consumption. Not only that, but they apparently forget that on the first page of their review is a table with manufacturer specs that clearly states *much* lower power consumption. Why doesn't that make them scratch their head and think 'hey... maybe we did something wrong? Shouldn't we go check up on this issue?'. They check every other possible performance metric on these drives and aren't satisfied until everything is explained into great detail, so why not also put some effort into power consumption metrics?
As a result, even though intel specs almost all its consumer drives at 75-150mW idle and 150-400mW load power consumption, all reviews of intel SSDs state their idle power consumption as 0.6W and load at 1.2 or something. So if you're looking for a drive with the lowest possible power consumption for use in e.g. a windows tablet, ultrabook or laptop, you won't find any useful information on the web.

Wwhat - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - linkThat might scientifically make sense, but in real life the only reason to know the power is to see how much AC you pull and have to pay for (or generate), so in fact you only need to measure the AC pull really. Reply
cfaalm - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - linkI think you're both right. Measuring AC pull is only valid in comparison if you use the same PSU on the same voltage. If you go nitpicking over a couple of mV's then even the efficiency curve of the PSU comes into play. I think it's really hard to get it right. Reply
IanCutress - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkIn order to keep our testing consistent with ALL other motherboard reviews, we test with multiple GPUs and have to have a power supply capable of 3/4 GPUs at full whack with the CPU as well. We use a 1250W Gold power supply, which as noted in the review has a relatively high efficiency - even more so given that I am on the 240 V input.
Two important points:
1) We do not have access to every hardware ever released. In my own testing I use the 1250W gold for desktop environments, and a 500W Platinum for mini-ITX environments, because these are the power supplies I own and allow me to complete testing without spending hours changing everything back and forth. We don't have unlimited space to have 18 test beds set up for individual component XYZ either.
2) Even if you feel the individual values mean nothing to you, then as a comparison against other components put in exactly the same position, conclusions can be drawn as to which is better than the others. You examine the gradient of change rather than the absolute value - a technique used often in scientific circles when the absolutes cannot be obtained.
My testing methodology and scientific background that I do have allow for reasoned interpretation and my testing is equivalent to the rigor I placed in my scientific peer-reviewed papers I published. I never aim to mislead or pre-suppose bias on any bit of kit, and only aim to give the readers the best possible explanation with the tools at my disposal. Reply
woogitboogity - Wednesday, January 02, 2013 - linkIt is quite simple. They need to keep things consistent when comparing this motherboard and components to others, including all the crazy SLI/CF rigs. So long as you have a decent power supply in terms of quality the supply will not draw more power than it actually needs. Reply
SolMiester - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkWhat is the point of of building APU, then CF with dGPUS?...ridiculous!.. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, December 11, 2012 - linkI agree with what you are saying, but the tested games were surprisingly playable at demanding settings with the right video card(s). However, I cant see buying such a cheap processor, especially an APU, and pairing it high end cards either.
It would have been interesting to test something like a 3570k and FX 6300/8350 under the same conditions (with their appropriate MB of course) to see how much faster they were. Surprisingly, it looks like the tests are GPU bound even with a lowly A10 cpu. Reply
Origin64 - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - linkI still don't get why people are getting so worked up about this. 2.0 x8 offers 95% of the performance, x16 something like 99. We don't need PCIe 3.0 yet. Probably won't for another year or two, at least. Reply
Wwhat - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - linkPerhaps if they can't deliver PCIe3.0 they could make it supply the higher power feed from the PCIe3.0 specs at least? Just am off the cuff marketing idea, feel free to use it0 Reply

The Tory MP running this week's by-election campaign in Corby was facing awkward questions tonight after appearing to admit he had given support to the campaign of a potential rival candidate.
Chris Heaton-Harris, who has campaigned vociferously against onshore wind farms, was secretly recorded saying he had encouraged an anti-wind farm candidate, journalist James Delingpole, to enter the race against his own party.
In the film, he tells an undercover Greenpeace campaigner – posing as someone from a fictional anti-wind group – that he"actually essentially suggested to him (Delingpole) he did it". Read more

Trisped - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkCan/did you test the Oxygen HD CMI8788 audio processor's ability to decode 5.1+ digital sound and output it to analog speakers.
I ask because the creative labs forums are full of 360 users who complain that they don't get clean playback on their X-Fi cards. I have an Audigy2, which isn't any better. A replacement would be nice...
Gary Key - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkWe are currently finishing the decoding tests. This will include output to both digital and analog speakers directly from the card and through a A/V receiver. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkBy my understanding, Vista does away with hardware DirectSound acceleration (or at least, hardware DirectSound3D). This means that any games or other programs that use EAX done via DirectSound3D will no longer have surround sound under Windows. Only apps that use OpenAL will be useful.
Creative cards based on EMU10k chipsets will offer users a number of options, what with the kxProject's OpenAL drivers for these cards. However, those drivers aren't compatible with the X-Fi, which has a different chip. I'm curious as to whether many of the X-Fi's features will be obsoleted by Windows Vista.
It could be that I'm drawing incorrect conclusions, so I'd be interested to hear from people more knowledgeable than I. But it seems like high-quality DACs will be the one important feature in Vista-ready sound cards, and that other fancy bits will become irrelevant. Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkX-Fi will work fine in vista, more so than other soundcards. Creative engineers have found a way to intercept directsound3d so x-fi can process it on the soundcard so does not matter in Vista.
This driver will be released sometime late next month. The X-Fi card will still be the top dog for games (good or bad to some people :P) Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkTo add from post above, here is link to article.
Here is a quote from the article....
However, our source at Creative Labs exclusively revealed to Custom PC that the company has developed a driver for its X-Fi range of sound cards that will allow for full hardware sound processing in all games, not only those that use OpenAL. The driver works by intercepting DirectSound 3D calls from the game code and converting them into OpenAL on the fly, before these calls reach the DirectX 10 API. By converting the calls to OpenAL, Creative circumvents the limitations of Windows Vista.
Creative told us that the driver is expected to be completed by December, a month before Windows Vista is due to launch, and will support all Creative X-Fi sound cards. However, older Audigy and Sound Blaster sound cards will not be supported initially, which means that the only way to get high-quality positional audio in Windows Vista is to buy an X-Fi.
yyrkoon - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkJust in case these points are not readily noticeable for some:
1) This is going to create more load on the Creative sound cards, which COULD cause more CPU utilization. Now, I don't know why anyone else would buy an X-Fi, but if I bought one, I would be buying it to offload as much processing as possible onto the Audio card, vs the CPU. Pretty much defeats the purpose of buying an add-in Audio card(for $200-$300 usd, and for gaming).
2)Creative, like all the rest of the gaming industry, is PROBABLY going to use this as an excuse to raise prices on their X-Fi line, and "force" users into buying one. If I'm incorrect, then why hold off on the drivers for the older products ?
Since MS has been delinquent in sending me my copy of Vista Beta (yes, I'm an MSDN subscriber), I can only speculate here, but what about all the current Audio solutions on the market RIGHT_NOW ? Will this force the system into some form of Compatibility mode ? Older video cards causing the system to revert to using Directx 9L(D3D 9), I can understand, but as far as I'm aware, Direct Sound wasn't broken.
This smells so much like MS, and OEMs trying to rape the end user to the ninth degree it's pitiful, and thats coming from a person who prefers Windows to *NIX (on the desktop) . . . Reply

We are running audio tests on the RTM release at this time. I hope to have an article up in about three weeks with the results of several audio solutions. The timing is dependent upon a couple of final driver release dates that are around 12/15 now. Reply
yyrkoon - Thursday, November 30, 2006 - linkThat is good to hear Gary, and thanks for mentioning it. I hate to sound like an ass when making comments about up and coming technology, and in no way do I direct this at any of the other readers here, or the AT staff. I just get worked up, thinking *this* product or that is great, then something like this comes out, and throws a monkey wrench into the big picture.
I'm sure, I'm not the only person here, that sees Creative s "solution", as a complete *hack*. Being brought up, from very young, believing that when you do something, you do it right ONCE, and not 50 times WRONG. Perhaps I should send my parents over to Creative s
"Lab" ? Reply
Gary Key - Friday, December 01, 2006 - linkWe are also looking at reviewing the new "low" cost X-FI cards under Vista once we have final drivers. Reply
Trisped - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkThe odds of creating more work for the CPU by off loading work on the sound processor does not make sense to me. What might cause an increase in CPU usage would be if Creative finds ways to do things that cannot be done in current Vista settings. The reality is that is not going to happen.
As for being forced to buy something, most people buy SoundBlaster because it has the most perks. As I see it, off loading sound work to the hardware is a perk.
yyrkoon - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - linkConverting input from one sound API, to another, ON_THE_FLY, while playing a game, is not a trivial matter. Think of it along the lines of watching a movie, while decompressing an archive. I know that the Creative X-Fi's have a good amount of horsepower, but what remains to be seen, is if it can keep up, without any help from the CPU. Basically, this is a pretty fair comparison, because what you're doing is converting a data stream, while watching a video (put very simply).
I honestly have no idea how Creative labs plans on doing this, and do not know much about their architecture, but what I can tell you is that while a video card MAY be able to do something along these lines, a sound card has no where near the on card bandwidth, and probably not any where near 1/10th the processing power. Besides this, take the video card for example again, when you increase the work load of the GPU, a faster CPU is often needed to keep up with it.
You can remain the optimist, and I'll remain the pessimist, I guess we'll find out for sure in the end. Reply
imaheadcase - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - linkIts not as big deal as you make it out to be. Perhaps you can answer your own question if you read up on the card..cause its right in the ads for it. Reply
imaheadcase - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - linkAlso not raising prices, as seen by the release of more X-Fi based cards for LOWER prices. Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkSounds like a complete hack. I must say, this has to be the first bit of news regarding Vista, that has me saying to myself: "WTF were these guys thinking . . ." Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkThe current chipset does not support openAL.
Surprised you did not mention that if the person who buys it plays games.
The current C-media chipset does not support openAL, and c-media has no plans to release a openAL card anytime soon. Bluesgears has asked them to but to no avail.
This is the response i got from in email..
"This is our request that we need to support OpenAL for our sound card. But C-Media, the chipset maker, still hesitates to support this OpenAL."
Gary Key - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - linkI will update the article about OpenAL support. It is certainly mentioned in the full review. At this time C-Media still has not decided to release driver support, for what reasons we do not understand, and we were hoping to have beta drivers or a firm answer before the full review. I am testing the card under Vista (RTM) at this time so we will have some comments about its performance and audio quality in games. Reply
imaheadcase - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkedit: Yes i know you mentioned x-fi better for just games, but im just pointing out that the openAL part if someone is looking for this card for Vista and games to. Reply
JHutch - Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - linkAs I understand it (which could be completely wrong), the two major satellite companies in the US (Dish and DirecTV) do not use the DVB-S standard. Right now, I don't think there is ANY card that can grab digital TV signals from those two providers. Reply
kaborka - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 - linkThe docs for the card specified "free-to-air" satellite broadcasts. That rules out DishTV and DirectTV, which have their own encryption and require their own receivers. Reply

Did you know?
The Orange River is also known as the Gariep River, so-named by the Nama people. Gariep in Nama means 'great river'.
Prepare for an experience that's just you, the water, the sun, mind-bending landscapes and the heavens above when you embark on an Orange River paddling trip with experienced, qualified guides who are trained to lead expeditions for all ages and capabilities.
There are a couple of rapids along the way that those with adventurous spirits will enjoy, with amusing names such as 'Dolly Parton' on the Orange River Gorge route, where two prominent rocks jut from the river. Those who prefer not to ride the rapids can simply climb out and meet the raft on the other side.
Several respected South African river adventure companies offer rafting down the Orange River, starting from their respective base camps along the river's course. For example, Wildthing Adventures' base camp is at Vioolsdrift, Gravity Adventures' is at Onseepkans and Felix Unite's is at Noordoewer. They are all remote places. The four-day adventure is the most popular as visitors often comment how they really start feeling the 'pure nature' experience from the second day.
The trips are well organised and the catering is superb. Each night you stop off at an inspiring natural location in this rugged semi-desert landscape where a meal is cooked for you by your guides. Roast lamb on an open fire in the Richtersveld National Park never tasted so good.
Nights are spent under the stars in a sleeping bag or tent. Out here you are on the edge of the world, with no artificial light in sight.
Early the next morning you're awakened by the call of the African fish eagle hunting for its breakfast on the river, and by the smell of fresh coffee brewing on the fire. If you need any further temptation, simply imagine yourself rafting down one of the world's greatest rivers under African skies.

How to get here
Depending on where the base camps are situated along the Orange River, you are looking at a day- to a day-and-a-half's drive from Cape Town or Johannesburg. Alternatively, you can fly into Upington and hire a vehicle or arrange with the tour company to drive you to their base camp.
Best time to visit
The region is exceptionally hot in summer. June is a popular month for visitors as the days are warm and the nights are not too cold, but anytime of the year is good as the expeditions are equipped for all weather conditions.
Around the area
The river rafting companies can advise visitors on other adventures in the area which include: wildlife and the Augrabies waterfall in the Augrabies National Park (where there are chalets and camping facilities), abseiling, 4x4 adventures, hikes, trails, mountain biking, fly-fishing and extreme adventure sports (including more adventurous rapid riding).
What will it cost
A four-day river experience will cost approx. R3 500 per person all inclusive. The tour companies offer special group or family packages.
Length of stay
The Orange River rafting trips vary from two to six days. The four-day trip is the most popular.
What to pack
Swimming gear, hats, sunscreen, sleeping bags, tents.
What to eat
The river rafting trips are fully catered.

I have about as much chance of winning lotto as Les Mis does at getting the Best Pic Oscar.... i.e. not much.
What a load of total rubbish. Let's not forget, people, that at the Golden Globes it was in the category of "musical"; at the Oscars it has been lumped with the real films.
After seeing Lincoln on the weekend I remember thinking "not a chance, Hugh.... not a chance!" - and that was just for the acting.
To compare Les Mis to a film like Lincoln is like saying Home & Away is on par with "insert name of anything else" - it just isn't.

I'm not sure why Golden Globe categories are relevant here - a musical isn't less of a cinematic feat because it's a musical, just like a comedy isn't, or an action isn't. You really shouldn't talk down a movie based purely on it's "genre".
I adore musicals, but you couldn't have paid me to see Les Mis on stage until I saw the movie which was fantastic. The only thing I've seen that I think deserves the Oscar more is Silver Linings Playbook.
The others... Meh.

I have not been fortunate enough to have watched all of these films but from the ones that I have seen I think Argo with an outside chance for Silver Linings. I felt as though Silver Linings was a lot more subtle yet powerful and David O.Russell managed to create a lot of sympathy for Pat. Argo is better all-round. I think Life of Pi is a visual master-piece and Lee on that basis is a strong contender for Best Director.

OVIEDO, Fla. - A former Latin teacher at Trinity Preparatory School was arrested after he was caught traveling to meet a 13-year-old girl for sex, according to Seminole County deputies.
Deputies arrested 49-year-old John Ferguson on Sunday for traveling with the intent to engage in sexual activity with what he believed to be a child.
Investigators with SCSO's Crimes Against Children Unit began investigating in November 2012 when the mother of the 13-year-old victim contacted deputies after learning of inappropriate text messages between her daughter and Ferguson.
An investigator pretended to be the victim and continued to talk with the Ferguson via text messages and emails for four months, according to the report. Ferguson asked to meet with the victim so she could spend the night at his house. On Saturday, he drove to the Target in Oviedo to meet the child and was taken into custody without incident.
Ferguson was booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility on charges of traveling to meet a minor for sex and use of computer to lure a child. Ferguson posted a $10,100 bond early Sunday morning and is no longer at the facility.

HOUSTON - One of the eight police officers accused of beating a teenage burglary suspect testified Monday in the trial of a now former officer who has been charged in that beating.
Andrew Blomberg, 29, is the first of the four former police officers to stand trial in the alleged attack that was caught on video. He is charged with official oppression, a misdemeanor.
An attorney for Blomberg said Thursday his client was a "hero" who tried to secure a potentially dangerous suspect, and that he had not kicked Chad Holley, who was 15 at the time of the 2010 incident.
The officer who testified Monday was not fired and now works undercover in the gang unit.
The officer said he jumped on Holley's back and grabbed his arm while he straddled his legs and waist.
"I was afraid he had a gun and that one of us would get hurt," the officer said.
On Friday, a 37-year veteran of the training academy testified that when he watched the videotape of the arrest, he saw Blomberg stomp on Holley's head. He said no HPD officer is trained to do that, and the technique used did not make sense.
"He's treating the suspect poorly," the training officer said.
Defense attorney Dick DeGuerin said Blomberg was using his feet to get Holley to put his hands behind his back.
Holley, 18, was the first witness in Blomberg's trial.
Holley testified that he and three friends stole a piano keyboard and some vodka from a townhome in southwest Houston in March 2010. Later that day, police stopped the youths' truck and Holley ran. He said a police car knocked him over and as he lay on the ground he put his hands on his head to indicate surrender.
That was when "the kicks started coming," said Holley, who is black.
"I started feeling people on my back. I felt one hard blow," he said. "It felt like knees and I don't know kicks ... I lay there," not fighting back. Holley said he briefly lost consciousness and the next thing he remembers is waking up in the back of a patrol vehicle.
Holley testified for most of the day. The videotaped beating was shown to jurors at the end of Holley's testimony.
Prosecutor Clint Greenwood told jurors that the officers were out of control.
"The defendant and his fellow officers methodically delivered their own brand of justice not in this courtroom but in the side of a street in southwest Houston," Greenwood said.
Holley's arrest and alleged beating was captured by a security camera at a nearby storage business. In the video, Holley can be seen on the ground, surrounded by at least five officers. Officers appear to kick and hit his head, abdomen and legs.
Jurors were shown photos of injuries Holley said he suffered, including a gash on the right side of his face and a bloodshot right eye.
A community activist released the video, prompting fierce public criticism of the police department. Leaders in Houston's black community said they believed the alleged beating was another example of police brutality against blacks and other minorities in the city, and that the misdemeanor charges against the former officers were not serious enough.
Holley was convicted of burglary in juvenile court in October 2010. He was put on probation, which ended last month.
DeGuerin, said Holley is a gang member -- an allegation Holley denied.
DeGuerin said Blomberg forcefully put his foot on the teen's elbow in order to secure his hands, but that it wasn't a kick. DeGuerin said Blomberg and other officers had been after a gang of possibly armed criminals who had been burglarizing homes during the day. Holley was not armed when he was arrested.
"Andrew Blomberg is a true hero who was trying his best to protect you," DeGuerin said.
A jury of six, four men and two women, plus an alternate was chosen over five days as a judge allowed jurors to be individually questioned due to publicity in the case.
Prosecutors said they expect to wrap up their case on Tuesday, then the defense will present its case.
If convicted, Blomberg could be sentenced to up to a year in prison.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - As 12-year-old Cristian Fernandez walked into court Wednesday to be arraigned on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of his 2-year-old half-brother, everyone was quiet.
He was handcuffed and appeared to be shackled, but you could not see the chains.
The boy did not look scared, but walked over to his attorney and did not say anything until Circuit Judge Libby Senterfitt talked to him. Everyone else in the courtroom was an adult, many of them were with social service agencies.
I asked around to see if any relatives were on hand. There was one woman who chose not to talk.
This is a case that both the state attorney and the public defender talked about without any problem since Fernandez was indicted last week. Both sides gave us background on the boy's upbringing and what could have led to the crime, so it came as a surprise when the prosecutor asked for the judge to issue a gag order.
Information from the principals in the case will now only come from proceedings in open court. That doesn't mean that Channel 4's reporting on the case will stop. Court records and people outside the legal proceedings who knew Fernandez or his mother -- who is also facing charges in this case -- will continue to provide details into the family's tortured life.

Topic: What are the odds after the failed resection attempt
My cousin aged 47 years was diagnosed Klatskin Tumor 3-4 months ago. One of the doctor at a big hospital advised for a liver transplant.
One of the doctor at our family strongly objected to that and strongly recommended for the resection which he agreed. Unfortunately operation took place but tumor cannot be resected due to its pecular location.
The doctors had put the metal stent and did chemo and the radiation and asked for the CT scan after 3 weeks. Results were very encouraging according to doctors because they says taht cancer had not spread and the tumor had shrinked.
What is bugging me is the hype ONLY CURE IS THE RESECTION AND
Can the readers with their experiences can give some ideas that the tumor has really shrinked and what lies in the future. The guy is doing well with very little after effects of the trauma he had gone through.

There are only two Boolean values. They are True and False. Capitalization is important, since true and false are not Boolean values (remember Python is case sensitive). A boolean expression is an expression that evaluates to a Boolean value. The equality operator, ==, compares two values and produces a Boolean value related to whether the two values are equal to one another.
- Code: Select all
print(5 == 5) # Outputs True
print(5 == 6) # Outputs False
Boolean values are not strings!
It is extremely important to realize that True and False are not strings. They are not surrounded by quotes. They are the only two values in the data type bool.
Here are the Most Common Comparison Operators:
- Code: Select all
x != y # x is not equal to y
x > y # x is greater than y
x < y # x is less than y
x >= y # x is greater than or equal to y
x <= y # x is less than or equal to y
Logical Operators
There are three logical operators: and, or, and not. The meaning of these operators is similar to their meaning in English.
x > 0 and x < 10 is true only if x is greater than 0 and at the same time, x is less than 10.
n % 2 == 0 or n % 3 == 0 is true if either of the conditions is true, that is, if the number is divisible by 2 or divisible by 3. In this case, one, or the other, or both of the parts has to be true for the result to be true.
Finally, the not operator negates a boolean expression, so not x > y is true if x > y is false, that is, if x is less than or equal to y.
Common Mistake!
There is a very common mistake that occurs when programmers try to write boolean expressions. For example, what if we have a variable number and we want to check to see if its value is 5,6, or 7. In words we might say: "number equal to 5 or 6 or 7". However, if we translate this into Python, number == 5 or 6 or 7, it will not be correct. The or operator must join the results of three equality checks. The correct way to write this is number == 5 or number == 6 or number == 7. This may seem like a lot of typing but it is absolutely necessary. You cannot take a shortcut.
Uses for Boolean
Boolean functions are always used in while loops.
They are always used in if statements.
These things will be commonly used in all Python programs, so Boolean functions must be known.

New US smart phone from Nokia!?!? I say meh, its getting old watching the rest of the world get firmware updates months ahead of time. Nokia needs to improve its support of current customer who aren't in it to hack their phones all the time before they think abotu a serious US competative phone.

word. its one of the main reasons i got rid of my N97 other than the fact that the processor on it made the phone practically unusable.
3. adixxx (Posts: 18; Member since: 26 Jan 2010)
this is actually a good idea... specially if partnered with non-Symbian OS. hehe. say no to Symbian.
4. thatdude1 (unregistered)
You people really need to stop hating on Nokia and Symbian. Every idea they come up with, people like you guys hate on them. You need to just admit that Symbian phones are just too advanced(and cool!) for you, and run and play with your little i-toys or whatever simple o.s. you choose to use. If you have to hack your phone, or can't handle a processor or the Symbian o.s, then maybe it is too much for you. You should move on quietly to something else. Don't hate.... congratulate.
5. James Dang (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
I'm once a Symbian fan but not today. Why Nokia now day still using the out dated Symbian S60 UI on their touch screen phone??? Why they don't use the Symbian UIQ, where it's more usable compare to Symbian S60 UI for the touch screen. The step taken by Nokia by using Maemo interface on Nokia N900 have to be praise by all users. Nokia also have to take a necessary step by using other system like android that prove to be more usable compare to Symbian S60..

Topic: What to know before surgery?
Hi all, we are at the point of needing to make such an important decision-whether or not to go forward with surgical recision of rt side of liver, bile ducts, gall bladder. My brother is pretty weak-only 118 lbs now (usually he's around 140). We haven't been given any idea of what stage...doctor said because there's no physical proof yet there's no way to stage. Doctor doesn't really think surgery is that great an option but is willing to go forward since my brother is only 44. I'm concerned that quality of life after surgery won't be worth the risk, but if we don't he doesn't have any hope, but might have some quality time left. How do you make these awful choices?


text: Kicked off the season with a Salmon out of the WSM, and I had a bunch of Jalapenos that needed to be used up. So I mixed some garlic, cream cheese, cooked shrimp and basil and stuffed them and wrapped them in bacon. Put these on the pit with the salmon. They were a big hit. I did the salmon with a mixture of yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and soy sauce. Paired this with Mrs Scorches pilaf and a Persian cucumber salad. Fantastic. I am really liking that WSM! Holds temp like a champ and it's so trouble free (so far).
