Central's Greenfield honored again, named NABC all-district
PELLA—Central College men's basketball forward Matt Greenfield (senior, Huxley, Ballard HS) continued his torrid postseason by being named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-West District first team Tuesday morning.
It's yet another national honor for the 6-foot-8 forward, who is fresh off of his D3hoops.com All-West Region first-team honor. The 2014 Iowa Conference MVP averaged 18.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in 29 games this season, leading Central to an NCAA tournament first-round upset of No. 25-ranked St. Olaf (Minn.) before being edged by top-ranked and top-seeded Wis.-Stevens Point in the second round on the Pointers' home court.
Greenfield tallied 15 double-doubles this season, posting career highs with 35 points at Buena Vista Jan. 25 and 17 rebounds at Sacred Heart (P.R.) Dec. 29. Greenfield was a part of two trios to score 25-plus points each in a single game, the first such occurrence in more than a decade.
Greenfield's 547 points scored this season rank fourth in program history all-time, while his 292 boards rank second. His 36 blocked shots are ninth as well. The four-year letterwinner joined Central's 1,000-point club as its 27th member, finishing his career with 1,043 points, tying for 21st. He is also seventh with 622 career rebounds.
The Dutch completed their worst-to-first regular season with an 18-7 overall mark and an 11-3 conference record for their 17th league title. Central went on to win its second conference tourney title, advancing to its league-best 10th NCAA tournament.
The NABC all-district team mirrored the D3hoops.com all-region team with the exception of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps' Tyler Gaffaney, who filled the fifth spot after Wis.-Stevens Point's Tyler Tillema was elevated to district player of the year. Augsburg's (Minn.) center Dan Kornbaum joined Greenfield in the All-West Region first-team frontcourt, while Wis.-Steven Points' guard Trevor Hass and Whitworth's (Wash.) guard Dustin McConnell made up the backcourt.
Wis.-Stevens Point's Bob Semling was named district coach of the year.

3 Tips To Writing An Awesome Branded Cover Letter
3 Tips To Writing An Awesome Branded Cover Letter
June 26, 2014
Three ways to incorporate your brand into your cover letter.
By Jessica Holbrook Hernandez,
Expert Resume Writer
Job seekers often know about the importance of incorporating their brand into their
but forget how pertinent it is to also establish that brand in a
cover letter
. If you are in the process of writing your cover letter, it's time to think about how you can incorporate your brand—the well-rounded definition of your capabilities as a professional—into this important document.

1. Start with a personal branding statement or similar.
A personal branding statement is a one to two line introduction that provides quick insight into your accomplishments. Although these statements are often used in
(we never write a resume without one; they're priceless for standing out among the competition), make sure you include your branding statement in your cover letter as well.
Start by writing a brief paragraph about who you are, and list some of your greatest career highlights. Then you can focus on why you're
applying for the job
, what the company needs, and the value you can offer the organization that your competitor cannot.
2. Highlight your results and show you're trying to make a difference.
In your opening, you already gave them a strong, polished one-liner to remember you by, but now is your chance to dig a bit deeper by exploring why you're a viable candidate.
If you're not sure where to gather the information from, here are some questions to ask yourself.
What have you done to make a difference in the positions in which you've worked? What initiatives have you thought up on your own and then followed through with in your effort to further the profession to which you're dedicated? Which awards have you won based on accomplishments or pure dedication?
These questions can help you define who you are as opposed to merely what you've done. Utilize this information in your opening paragraph, but make sure you're choosing relevant information for the position.
3. Mention your online brand.
While discussing your passion for your career and the possibility of working for the company, you could mention that you manage a not-for-profit blog that allows you to delve deeper into the field—or that you volunteer with an organization in order to provide your expertise. (That's if you really do, of course.) The point is to let the employer know that you spend time focusing on your profession outside of your required work hours—something that is not just impressive but admirable as well.
Something to make note of is that it's best not to oversell your brand in your cover letter. You want to zero in on your brand without saying the words, "I'm amazing in my field because..." Humility goes a long way when striking a balance between confidence and professionalism.
And if you can do it effectively, it could mean the difference in your being considered for a position versus being considered an average candidate with run-of-the-mill skills and no shot at the job.

Out of touch
Aug 14, 2011
We've been away and without connectivity for much of the last week. And what a week to choose. This summer will live in memory for its news and events. Some days, the real world is more like theatre than theatre is.
Through tools such as Reeder, and the many eyes and ears of Twitter, we just about kept abreast, snatching 3G, EDGE or feeble GPRS where location permitted, and quickly learning where towns and villages could give us WiFi. (A shout-out here for the excellent Toucan Café in Minehead, its good food and free wireless.)
Back home, I've caught up in detail on the accumulated reading. I wish it had been less dispiriting. It's come to something when, as Euan said, Russell Brand is more credible than the Prime Minister.
Some of what I've been reading about the unrest in England, on Pinboard.

MEMBERS of an anti-fracking campaign group have reacted angrily to suggestions that the government should make the search for shale gas "an urgent priority" across the region.
Frack Free North Yorkshire, set up to support the fight against the controversial process across York and Ryedale, has so far campaigned tirelessly against planning applications from drilling companies since the area was identified as somewhere potentially suitable for fracking.
Russell Scott, from the campaign group, said the government was refusing to listen to their concerns and believed that the negatives of fracking far outweigh any positives the government was suggesting.
He said: "The House of Lords desperate push to impose fracking on our communities is another example of this government not listening to concerns of the public.
"The risks associated with fracking far outweigh the positives. This country needs an energy plan built around clean, reliable and renewable energy. The public want this approach but yet again the government is not listening."
In a report from the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee calls were made for the government to speed up fracking developments across the country with suggestions that it would have "substantial benefits" including reducing energy imports and creating new jobs.
Chairman of the committee Lord MacGregor said: "The committee strongly supports the Government's decision to go 'all out for shale.'
"But here in the UK we have not yet left the starting gate. Developing a successful shale gas industry in the UK must be an urgent national priority."
Worries from residents living in the area have been raised previously about the potential for trespassing laws to change which would allow drilling to take place under people's homes without their consent.
However a recent YouGov survey of 1.898 people showed that the majority of the population - a total of 74 per cent - were against changing the laws.
Members of Greenpeace, Friends of The Earth and Frack Free North Yorkshire have also raised concerns about water pollution and even the shocking potential for chemicals from the fracking process to cause cancer but the Committee said that "risks of harm to the environment or human health are low" and that "complex regulation may be causing unnecessary delays."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/6/2013 (1520 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Prenatal genetic screening shows the medical future of offspring.
New non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) can predict one's medical future by betraying specific genetic loci that generate future health disorders.
"(Much like) a crystal ball through which we can glimpse one's medical (destiny)," writes Suzanne Tomlinson in a recent Harvard University report.
According to Anupama Srinivasan at Verinata Health and Diane Bianchi at Tufts Medical Center, a "molecular karyotype of the fetus (can be) determined non-invasively... (which reveals) fetal subchromosomal abnormalities."
Fetal DNA sequencing is determined through an analysis of maternal blood plasma.
"Three to six per cent of cell-free DNA in maternal blood is of fetal origin," writes researchers Glenn Palomaki and Edward Kloza at Brown University. "Measuring maternal plasma DNA detects nearly all cases (of some future medical disorders)."
"DNA sequencing of cell-free DNA from maternal blood can detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities," confirms Amy Sehnert at Verinata Health and her colleagues, B. Rhees and D. Comstock, in a recent report. "(Research shows) the power of parallel sequencing for detecting abnormal fetal karyotypes from the blood of pregnant women."
Researchers explain that prenatal test specificity across all chromosomes generates a "patient-specific individualized risk score."
In part, the new screening process has been fast-tracked because many prospective parents want to be alerted to possible medical conditions in their children.
"Reproductive genetics and assisted reproductive technology have made significant strides toward (helping) expecting parents to be able to know about their children before birth," Jaime King writes in a report in Rutgers Law Journal. "Scientists have found a way to provide diagnostic information to detect a wide range of known genetic and chromosomal conditions."
A recent study by Fieghanne Hathaway, Ester Burns and Harry Ostret shows 75 per cent of expecting parents want prenatal genetic screening to foretell mental retardation in their offspring, 54 per cent want to know about offspring future deafness, 56 per cent for blindness, 52 per cent for heart disease and 51 per cent for cancer. About half want to know of any potential health disorders that would result in the death of offspring before they reach the age of five years, and many want information regarding future violent behaviour in their kids. About one-third of parents want to know of health risks that could impact on their offspring decades in the future.
"(But) expanding NIPS testing... is likely to be highly ethically and politically controversial," cautions Peter Benn and Audrey Chapman at the University of Connecticut.
Of particular concern is that certain prenatal screening information might induce parents to opt for pregnancy termination, especially in the case of Down and other syndromes.
"Sequenon Center for Molecular Medicine (has developed) a test to determine Down syndrome in maternal plasma," Palomaki confirms.
NIPS technology can also predict Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), Rh factor incompatibility, cystic fibrosis and some forms of cancer.
Ethical objections to NIPS screening are intensifying.
"Prenatal diagnosis to detect genetic and other abnormalities in a fetus (could be considered) a form of discrimination against the disabled," concludes Lynn Gullion at Murdoch Institute. "But the discrimination objection... does not provide a conclusive argument against prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion."
However, rights activists Helen Houghton and Christopher Newell argue that "if prenatal diagnosis is used as a tool to eradicate... disabilities, then it does discriminate."
It is possible that some 1,500 inherited disorders might eventually be predicted by prenatal screening, according to studies at the University of Lucknow.
"(It is unethical) to use prenatal genetic testing to eliminate a disease (by) preventing the birth itself," Tomlinson writes.

The Caucasian pact is being set up and there is a railway project, as you know. There are petrol and natural gas pipeline projects. Islamic Union meetings are being held. There is work to make Turkish Union stronger. These things are all auspicious, Insha'Allah. Anatolia has always been the cradle of civilization, you know. That was also so in Ottoman times.

Power comes from Allah. There is no other power but Allah. Allah gives trouble to the one who fears. Allah protects the one who is brave. A Muslim is responsible of being courageous. So, courage will follow courage. The boldness of Turkish – Islamic Union will take shape.

Just like everyone else, Ingmar Bergman had to make a living in his early years.
As Martin Schneider notes on the Dangerous Minds website, "in 1951 the Swedish film industry went on strike to protest high taxes in the entertainment sector, and Ingmar Bergman, who at 33 had already directed a handful of movies and had also overseen the Gothenburg city theater for three years, signed on to do a series of commercials for Bris soap, in part to support his already teeming brood (two ex-wives and five children, with a sixth on the way). The commercials are playful, fascinating, and utterly Bergmanesque—in the best possible way.
What I don't mean by 'Bergmanesque' is that they're brooding or depressing or austere—as Bergman's popular image would dictate. No, they are loose and original and supremely confident in the form of cinema. Bergman has had the misfortune to be identified with a couple of not overly representative movies—Persona (1966) and above all, The Seventh Seal (1957)—and his true nature as a restless and protean prober of human nature somehow got a little lost in the mix.
Bergman was nothing if not a relentlessly theatrical director, and few were more confident in exploring the limits of narrative in the medium. The parodies don't quite suffice to encapsulate the director of the masterpieces Fanny and Alexander or Scenes from a Marriage. There are eight of the Bris commercials, they are all black-and-white, and the visual quality leaves something to be desired by the standards of 2013, but to Bergman's credit, they are all wildly different and memorable and convey some succinct point about the nature of cinema as well as delivering the promised virtues of the soap."

Police shoot at driver, mother during wild car ride on South Side
Pittsburgh police shot a motorist who fled Homestead authorities, raced into the South Side and turned a bustling bar scene into a violent game of bumper cars early Sunday, city officials said.
Five officers on off-duty details opened fire at several points as the sedan traveled west and struck parked cars on both sides of East Carson Street, police Chief Nate Harper said. He said the driver, 37, and the sole passenger, identified as the man's mother, suffered gunshot wounds just before 2 a.m. and remained in serious condition Sunday.
It was not clear how many shots the officers fired, and police did not release the names or exact injuries of the driver and passenger. Investigators were piecing together what happened in at least five blocks of Carson Street, before the car stopped in the 1300 block after ramming a vehicle in traffic, Harper said.
Hundreds of people crowded the sidewalks and nightspots of the popular party area. Many posted videos on social media websites.
Harper said an initial search of the car, the driver and the passenger uncovered no drugs or weapons, although the driver was listed on warrants stemming from traffic violations in Georgia. One bystander said she might have been grazed by a bullet but did not seek medical attention. Harper said police were trying to verify that report.
He praised the officers for "a fantastic job."
"The officers felt not only that (they) were in danger but also that people on the street" were threatened, the chief said.
He said the car nearly hit officers, who heard on emergency radios about the threat as the car charged toward the nightspot area.
"If they (didn't) take action getting people off the street, back on the sidewalks and trying to get them back as far as they possibly could," more people could have been hurt or even killed, Harper said.
The six- to eight-minute ordeal began with an attempted traffic stop about 1:40 a.m. on Eighth Avenue in Homestead, according to police reports. The driver "just wouldn't stop" when police tried to pull him over after a red-light violation, Homestead police Chief Jeffrey DeSimone said.
He said two Homestead officers pursued the car, probably a full-size Buick, as it continued toward the Pittsburgh city limits. They backed off for safety reasons as the car approached the South Side, DeSimone said.
"The timing was such that the bars and places were starting to let out," he said.
Carson Street was packed, busy with partiers enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, neighborhood regulars said. They said the car could have struck dozens of people had it veered onto a sidewalk.
Harper said emergency responders twice halted the pursuit when a sergeant realized "he was traveling at a high rate of speed (toward) a heavily populated area" and hoped slowing down could force the suspect to ease up or bail out.
That didn't happen, and the lead-footed suspect soon began smashing into parked cars on East Carson Street, Harper said. He said at least five were hit.
Officers started firing on the suspect vehicle after the first crash, Harper said. He said those officers would be placed on paid administrative leave — a standard procedure — while the investigation continues.
The office of Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. is looking into the matter, as well. Zappala spokesman Mike Manko said Sunday it was too early to comment.
Whether police were justified in firing their guns hinges on "whether this driver was creating an imminent threat to people on sidewalks and in the area," said Geoffrey Alpert, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina.
If the motorist drove "in such a way that he was threatening the lives of innocent people, then any kind of force is necessary to stop that threat," Alpert said.
Police also tried to stop the driver by spreading spikes across Carson Street near 24th Street. Harper said the man steered around those.
Nearby bar customers found themselves shuffled away from the establishments' front entrances as police warned business operators. Maureen Gardiner, 22, of Mt. Washington said she was at Tad's on East Carson, 1109 E. Carson St., when police ran by on foot and asked a bouncer to keep everyone indoors.
"I was kind of happy that they pushed us to the back," Gardiner said. "If I had been outside, I would have been a lot more scared."
Harper said more police arrived on the scene after the pursuit to control a gathering crowd. Many didn't "realize they were in an evidence scene," he said.
He said some revelers became unruly as officers tried moving them to safety earlier, when the suspect vehicle approached. But he knew of no arrests from those confrontations.
At the Smiling Moose bar, 1306 E. Carson St., owner Mike "Scarfo" Scarlatelli said the city ought to deploy more officers to the neighborhood. The congested area is the worst spot for a police pursuit, he said.
"It just adds fuel to the fire. Throws gas on the fire," Scarlatelli said.
Chris Otto, 24, of Baldwin, said the incident didn't surprise him.
"I kind of expect it down here," said Otto, who works at a Carson Street business. "Crazy things happen every Friday, Saturday night. You have a bunch of drunk people — and especially with this warm weather."

HOUSTON - Houston's housing market is hot right now and it's a great time to sell. Low inventory and low interest rates are making the market ultra-competitive.
So if you're looking to sell, start with the basics. Is your house clean, inside and out? Is everything organized?
Angie Hicks from Angie's List said when buyers are looking at property, they're looking for reasons to rule it out. Simple things like a leaky faucet or bigger issues like a faulty water heater can be a turn-off.
"Look at your house as if you are getting ready to buy it. No one looks at their house in a more critical way than at the point when they are deciding to buy a house. So walk around your house go in doors you've never looked in and make a list of things that need to be improved," Hicks said.
Jennifer, a homeowner, recently listed her house. She finished major updates before putting it on the market.
"So we've done granite in all the bathrooms and the kitchen, we've redone flooring, added a new shower, new toilets throughout, we're about to put new carpet in downstairs, we re-carpeted all the upstairs last year. So we've did quite a bit of work," Jennifer explained.
Older fixtures can date your home. So consider investing in new lighting and plumbing fixtures to make the home look updated.
Jennifer took the advice of her Realtor, who told her the bathroom was too dated.
"We had the gold shower, brass. It had the regular glass doors, but with the hard water that we have here, it was just limed up … it was very hard to maintain."
Real estate agent Paula Smith said the more pictures of the property, inside and out, the better for potential buyers.
"Online photos, in today's society and the real estate market, is the only way that houses sell. Most people will automatically assume if there is one picture on the Internet that means the inside of the house is not in good condition. That's not necessarily true, but it is for a lot of homes," Smith said.
When choosing a Realtor, look into their record of success. Ask how long their average listing has been on the market and if their most recent listings sold for close to the listing price.
Angie's list tips: Four ways to sell your home fast
- Make repairs: When people are thinking about buying a house, they are looking for reasons to rule it out and simple things like a missing floor tile can be a turn-off for buyers. Take the extra step and make these small repairs, service your home's mechanicals regularly.
- Keep it clean: You never know when someone may stop by and want to see your home, so keep it clean and tidy. Remove as much clutter as you can -- this will help make the house look cleaner. Don't forget the outside too -- keep your grass mowed and weeds out of flowerbeds
- Stage your home: If you have fewer personal belongings, prospective owners can picture their own belongings in the home more easily. Bring in some furniture pieces to fill an empty room.
- Online listings: The Internet is a popular place for people who are looking to buy a home and it's one of the first places they look. Find a real estate company that has online listings and offers a virtual tour, photos. Attractive, high-quality photos are crucial. The first image is very important to buyers using online search tools. They will either click on that home or skip it and move on.
Open houses are becoming a seldom-used item in many real estate agents' tool boxes, according to real estate experts who talked recently with Angie's List. Highly-rated real estate pros said few sales are made at open houses and often they're just opportunities for the neighbors to check out your house. In years past, open houses were a popular way for would-be buyers to see properties they were considering. But with the rise and convenience of online listings, featuring photo and/or video tours, experts say open houses are just not as necessary.
Angie's list tips: Working with a real estate agent
- Ask questions: Many agents offer free market analyses. Before choosing and agent, ask how they came up with their price, their opinion of what's happening in the market, etc.
- What experience do you have? You want an agent with a proven history of sales in your area. Ask how long they have been in the business, how many homes they sold last year and the average number of days those homes were on the market.
- Do you have references? Ask for references and talk to former clients whose homes they've sold to get their experience on how the process went.
- Marketing plan: Get a copy of the agent's marketing plan, review it and make suggestions if appropriate. A good agent should tailor a marketing plan specifically for your home -- not just list the home online. He or she should be creative in making your home stand above the rest.
- Communication is key: Your agent should be in contact you frequently and keep you updated on your home and other homes for sale in your area. If you decide yours isn't doing enough, find another again who will.

Guiseley manager Mark Bower has declared his busy Bank Holiday weekend a success after persuading three more key players to extend their stays at the club.
Gateshead striker Adam Boyes has agreed a permanent deal with the Conference North outfit after his successful loan period last season while defenders Ben Parker and Danny Hall have also agreed new terms.
The Lions faced competition for the trio and Bower confirmed: "The three of them all had more lucrative offers from other clubs, but they wanted to be a part of what we are doing at Guiseley.
"They all enjoyed playing for the club last season and I am delighted that they want to try and help the club win promotion next season.
"They liked the way we play, the people at the club and are happy to continue to play for Guiseley. That is a big plus for me."
Having worked hard to secure the services of Boyes, Parker and Hall, Bower's squad building is almost complete.
He has hinted that he may have a look at a few young lads who are released from professional clubs during the Summer, but he is adamant that he won't be splashing the cash to bring in new blood.
He added: "My priority has been to retain as many of last season's squad as possible. There isn't going to be a big influx of players and there doesn't need to be.
"We have to work to a budget and making sure we have good players like Adam, Ben and Danny on board is important.
"The team spirit was fantastic during our great second half to last season and I don't want to disturb that."
Bower has been upset with suggestions that his club have been trying to unsettle Bradford Park Avenue striker Nicky Boshell, brother of his assistant manager Danny.
"We made three offers for Nicky last season and all were rejected.," he said. They were conducted in a proper manner and through the right channels. It was Avenue's right to say no. He is their player, they want him to be part of their squad, and that is the end of the matter for me."
Bower is expecting the 2014-15 campaign to be highly-competitive. He said: "Harrogate have been investing in new players such as James Walshaw and are clearly ambitious, while I expect relegated Chester and the two promoted clubs Chorley and Fylde to be looking to make a big impression.
"There's also Barrow who now have a wealthy American backer and they will be aiming to challenge for honours.
"They will all we want to do well but getting a new team to bed in isn't easy. We have the advantage of a settled squad and I believe it will be to our benefit."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2013 (1631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One Monday morning in January, my husband parked in the loop at the front entrance of St. Boniface Hospital, turned on the hazard lights and ran in to pick me up after a minor procedure.
Upon returning to the car five to 10 minutes later, the battery refused to turn over in the minus 42 degree windchill. There were quite a few cars and people in the immediate area, but no one was willing to help, most citing the cold as a reason.
But one man helped. We would like to send a very heartfelt thank you to the gentleman who told us that he did not have booster cables in his car but went home to retrieve them and returned to give us a much needed boost so we could get home.
Thank you sir, you not only boosted our car but also our morale!

Gavin Boy, who runs a Ficksburg advertising agency, has put together an appealing visitor's guide to the area, which includes chocolates, cherries and a riverboat ride.
'Our goal is to encourage people to come and explore this beautiful rural destination, and so we put together a list of exciting experiences that people of all ages and interests can enjoy,' says Boy, who is also coordinator of the annual Cherry Festival.
Ficksburg is the largest cherry-producing area in South Africa, and hosted its first Cherry Festival in 1968. At the festival, which takes place in November each year, visitors can indulge in fresh, succulent cherries.
If cherries are not for you, then perhaps a visit to an asparagus farm may be of more interest.
There is also a chocolate factory in the village, where decadent McKinley Chocolates are made by chocolatier Calen Thomas from Alaska, who visited Ficksburg some years ago, fell in love with it and stayed.
Another indulgence is White Mischief, a riverboat owned and managed by Boy. Sip cocktails or enjoy fine single-malt whisky as White Mischief cruises along the Meulspruit Dam through Thaba Sediba Private Nature Reserve.
It's a wonderful birding experience, with over 100 species to be spotted, including fish-eagles, goliath herons and malachite kingfishers.
If you're the active sort, you have a choice of hikes and horse trails in the area. And if you are interested in farm crafts, you can learn how to make cheese or down duvets.
For an artistic experience, visit Ficksburg's Pellissier Gallery, with its world-renowned Pierneef San murals.
While in town follow the Sandstone Way, and learn about the village's historic sandstone buildings, built from the surrounding sandstone mountains, which glow golden in the early morning and late afternoon light.

in a scenario where a shadowed password file has only executable permission for a user, where this user does not have root previledges how can a escalation of preveledge attack be launched in this kind of a situation??
with a shadowed file only with executable permission how would it be possible to proceed with a escalation of previledge attack?
So, just to clarify (and I have no idea how), if the passwd file was non-readable/writable, but executable to a non-superuser, can you pull the hashes from the file?
I am also curious, but I don't know how likely this situation is.
one of my friend is taking part in this competition and he asked if a knew how to get around it, i have never come across this kind of a situation so i dont know what to do. I was expecting some one on this forum would know what to do.Code:A Linux server has two user accounts. One of them is the root's account and the other is Prakhar's account. Both the users log in to this system from remote machines using ssh service. Prakhar is a normal user, that is he is not a previliged user. Prakhar's aim is to somehow gain full access to the system. Prakhar logs on to the system using ssh service from a remote computer with the aim of gaining root previliges. He enters the /etc directory and types in the command ls -la His happiness knows no bounds when he sees that the passwd file has rwx permissions. He immediately opens it thinking he would fiddle with the encrypted (blowfish hash) passwords stored in that file. Unfortunately he doesn't find any password stored in that file. He then realizes that the encrypted passwords are in the shadow file which doesnt have any read write permissions but has execute permission. He gets stuck and has no clue as to how to achieve his aim. Can you give him a solution?
Isn't it linked.
What is the command to create a new user?
Well, if it's executable, doesn't it need to be readable to user in some form. When a program is run, a shell script for example, someone must reads it so that it can process the commands.
I played around with this on my box. I had a file named passwd with 611 permissions. If I tried ./passwd, I got an access denied. My hope was that bash would try to run the hashes as commands, putting the hashes to stout. Are the 611 permissions accurate to your file.
Is this challenge were one actually logs onto a server, or is it "here's a question, what would you do" scenario?
You could also try to su to root, hoping that root's password is weak and guessable (but your attempts will certainly get logged).

This extinct species of bird lived 140 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. The fact that Archaeopteryx had some characteristics that differ from those of modern birds led evolutionists to suppose that it was a transitional species between them and their dinosaur ancestors. According to the theory of evolution, small dinosaurs called Velociraptors or Dromesaurs evolved wings and began to fly; Archaeopteryx is thought to be the ancestor of today's flying birds.
The best-known Archaeopteryx fossil, on display in Berlin
However, the latest research on Archaeopteryx fossils shows that this claim has no scientific basis. This species was not an awkwardly flying transitional species, merely an extinct bird with characteristics different from those of its modern counterparts. Here is the latest research data on Archaeopteryx:
- Originally, the fact that this creature had no sternum was cited as the most important proof that it could not fly. The muscles needed for flight are attached to the sternum located at the base of the rib cage. (Modern flying and flightless birds and bats—mammals which belong to a totally different family—all have a sternum.)
But the seventh Archaeopteryx fossil found in 1992 showed this argument to be false. This particular fossil had a sternum, which evolutionists had long discounted. The following words are from an article in Nature magazine:
The recently discovered seventh specimen of the Archaeopteryx preserves a partial, rectangular sternum, long suspected but never previously documented. This attests to its strong flight muscles, but its capacity for long flights is questionable.37
- There is no difference between the wings of modern birds and those of Archaeopteryx: Both have the same asymmetrical feather structure, which indicates that this creature was an excellent flyer. As the noted paleontologist Carl O. Dunbar pointed out, 'Because of its feathers, [Archaeopteryx is] distinctly to be classed as a bird.'38
- Another fact that emerges from the feathers of Archaeopteryx is that the creature was warm-blooded. As we know, reptiles and dinosaurs were cold-blooded—that is, their body temperature was determined by the external ambient temperature. One of the most important functions of birds' feathers is to stabilize keep their body temperature. The fact that Archaeopteryx had wings shows that unlike dinosaurs, it was warm-blooded. That is, it was a true bird that needed a covering of feathers to regulate its body temperature.
But those claws on its wings and its teeth do not indicate that Archaeopteryx had any relation to reptiles. Two species of birds alive today, Tauraco corythaix and Opisthocomus hoazin, have claws that enable them to grip on to branches. Each of these species is wholly a bird, with no relation to reptiles. Therefore, the fact that Archaeopteryx had claws on its wings does not substantiate the claim that it was a transitional form.
An illustration of Archaeopteryx
Research into the anatomy of Archaeopteryx has revealed that the vertebrate had a perfect flying ability and was in fact a typical bird. The efforts to equate Archaeopteryx with reptiles are totally groundless.
Neither do its teeth. Evolutionists were wrong to claim that these teeth were a reptilian characteristic. In fact, teeth are not a typical characteristic of reptiles. Some living reptiles do not have teeth at all—turtles, for example. More importantly, while no birds with teeth are alive today, when we look at the fossil record, we see that there was a species of bird with teeth that lived at the same time or later than Archaeopteryx. Until very recently in geologic history, there was a group of birds that could be called toothed.
In addition, the tooth structure of Archaeopteryx and other toothed birds is quite different from that of dinosaurs, their supposed ancestors. Noted ornithologists such as L. D. Martin, J. D. Stewart and K. N. Whetstone determined that that the surface of the teeth of Archaeopteryx and other toothed birds were straight and had wide roots. However, the teeth of theropod dinosaurs—the supposed ancestors of birds—had serrated teeth and have straight roots.39
In 1995, Lianhai Hou and Zhonghe Zhou of the Vertebrate Paleontology Institute in China discovered a new fossil that they called Confuciusornis. It is the same age as Archaeopteryx (about 140 million years old) and has no teeth. Its beak and feathers and skeleton are the same as those of modern birds. And, like Archaeopteryx, it had claws on its wings, as well as a feature called a pygostyle that supported its tail feathers.
In short, this creature is the same age as Archaeopteryx, the supposed ancestor of all modern birds. But it was itself very much like modern birds. This contradicts the evolutionist thesis that Archaeopteryx is the primitive ancestor of all birds.40
Another fossil found in China in 1996 caused even more of a stir. L. Hou, L. D. Martin and Alan Feduccia announced in Science magazine the discovery of a 130-million-year-old fossil called Liaoningornis. It had a breastbone to which the flying muscles were attached, as in modern birds. And in other ways too, this creature was no different from modern birds. The only difference was that it had teeth—which indicated, contrary to the evolutionist claims, that teeth in birds did not constitute a primitive characteristic.41
A reconstruction of Archaeopteryx
Accordingly, Alan Feduccia wrote in Discovery magazine that Liaoningornis invalidates the claim that birds evolved from dinosaurs.42 Eoalulavis is another fossil that has invalidated evolutionist claims about Archaeopteryx. At 120 million years old, it is 30 million years younger than Archaeopteryx, but its wing structure is the same, and it still seen in some modern species of birds. This proves that 120 million years ago, creatures no different from present-day birds flew through the air.43
One clear proof that Archaeopteryx is not a transitional form between reptiles and birds came from a fossil found in China in the year 2000. Named Longisquama, it was the fossil of a bird that lived in Central Asia 220 million years ago. The well-known magazines Science and Nature, as well as BBC television, reported about this fossil that the entire body of the fossil—estimated to have lived 220 million years ago— was covered in feathers, had a furcula like present-day birds (as well as Archaeopteryx), and that its feathers had hollow shafts.
So it became clear that Archaeopteryx and other archaic birds were not transitional forms. Their fossils did not demonstrate that various bird species evolved from one another. On the contrary, they proved that modern-day birds and some species of birds like Archaeopteryx lived together.
In short, some characteristics of Archaeopteryx show that this creature was no transitional form. And now two noted proponents of the theory of evolution—paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge of Harvard University—have acknowledged that Archaeopteryx was never a transitional form but a so-called "mosaic" creature with several different characteristics.45

Thanks pureh@te for such wonderful tutorial.I am using it with my Nvidia Geforce 9200 M GS.
Great tutorial! I'm guessing that this will only work with the one card? A friend of mine has a gaming rig which has Tri SLI 280 GTX, I'd love to test and see the results if it did support this setup.
When running:
root@bt:/opt/cuda# bash CUDA_INSTALL
I get the error:
Fatal: module nvidia not found.
The card is a GeForce 9600M GT, any ideas?
"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

I'm really not sure guys. I dont have that model card. You can always follow the steps on the pyrit google code site and install in manually.
same error but I have a 9500m gs.
as well I have herd a dual gpu setup wont work so SLI/GTX295 cards will work but only using the 1 gpu.
will look into it.
thanks ill give it a try Friday or this weekend

"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."
"These place cards turned out just as we expected. We love the color, paper quality and overall design. We can't wait to use them for our upcoming wedding! Thanks Wedding Paper Divas!!!!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"I don't have anything to say but thanks for your beautiful work. I've been your client for several months and my satisfaction is over the top :)"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/12/2012 (1698 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
My boyhood was spent in southern Saskatchewan beside the Souris, a little river in a big valley. The channel wanders from one side of the valley to the other. It's sluggish and sedate in summer, basically a series of long narrow puddles, with only a trickle of flow between them. In dry summers it often quits flowing, not to resume until the following spring's runoff. But, if spring runoff is heavy, it becomes a torrent, tearing at its banks and carrying big floes of ice that crash and grind together as they float along. Sluggish, sedate and safe no longer, its character changes and dangers lie in wait for the foolhardy.
Valley children enjoy and appreciate the river, but are made cautious of it, often, as I was, by dire parental warnings about fierce creatures allegedly lurking in its depths. As age increases, however, credulousness decreases, so the warnings are often forgotten or ignored.
I always liked to go with my parents when they drove three miles up the valley to Uncle Walt's farm. There I could visit with my cousins. Reg, 13, was two years my senior, old enough to look up to and be led by. Mel was nine, young enough to make me feel mature. Visiting on warm spring days meant tramping around the farm, looking at calves and lambs, finding crocuses, spotting ducks and geese. Being supposedly river-wise kids, our wanderings were unhampered by parental cautions or prohibitions.
I regretted that, despite living beside the river, my dad had no boat. He didn't need one, as a municipal bridge abutted the farm. Having no handy bridge, Uncle Walt had a boat. Well, sort of a boat, perhaps a pseudo-boat, meant for summer low-water use. Homemade, it was only a sheet of plywood with vertical sides and ends angled to make it slightly easier to pole through the water. I had a brainwave: "Would your dad mind if we went out in the boat?"
With adventurous bravado, Reg confidently answered, "Course not. Let's go." So we pushed the pseudo-boat off the bank, into the water, grabbed the poles and proceeded on our voyage. Unfortunately, the river was not at summer low; it was at spring high. The strong current was swiftly propelling big multi-ton ice floes, which slammed and pounded into each other, sometimes hard enough to split or even shatter. They immediately began to pound and squeeze our tiny craft. After a few hits the situation became obvious.
"We're getting stuck in the ice," I yelled.
"I'm scared. Go back to shore," Mel whimpered.
It was not possible. The boat, graceful as a brick, was awkward and cumbersome in calm shallow water. Now, gripped by strong currents and hemmed in by ice, the poles could not reach the bottom. We drifted downstream. Now we started to panic as ice slabs repeatedly rammed the boat, threatening to tip us into the frigid water.
"Push the ice away with the poles," I yelled with desperation.
"I can't," responded Reg, "They're too big and heavy."
Then we started yelling: "Help!" "Help!" "Rescue us!" "We're gonna drown." "Help, please!"
It was to no avail. The adults were in the house, drinking coffee, munching pastries and chatting, blissfully unaware of their children's plight.
"What the heck are we gonna do?" I yelled at Reg. "You shoulda known better than to do this." After all, it was his family's boat and he was older.
"Shut up," he snapped back. "It was your stupid idea."
Recriminations provided no remedies, so we quieted down. We had now drifted several hundred yards, around a bend, into even more ice chunks, with more terrifying thumps and bumps. Mel was frantic.
"Don't want to die! I'm just a little kid! Please, you guys, do something. Save us."
This followed a hit that pushed the front of the boat onto an ice slab, then spun it enough to slam it back down, showering us with water. We were wet, cold, shivering and scared.
"Look!" shouted Reg. "There's some open water up there. Maybe we can get closer to shore."
The ice shifted a bit and, by pushing on the floes, we were able to move toward the open water. Hope returned, but, alas, an eddy brought ice in along the shore, trapping us again in the downstream drift. Our situation was getting desperate. We were drifting ever further from the house and the banks were steep. Even if we could get to the bank, it might be impossible to climb. We could only sit tight amid the thumping ice and hope for another chance to escape.
We seemed to have been hours on the river, when, suddenly inspired, I asked, "Reg couldn't we just walk across the ice chunks to shore? It might be our only chance."
"No," he retorted. "They'll tip us into the water and push us under. We'd drown."
"Just go for the big ones," I persisted. "They won't tip from our weight. We can jump from one to another back to shore. Let's try it."
"Well, OK," he reluctantly agreed, aware of the lack of alternatives. He was blubbering in fear; Mel was sobbing. "The bank gets flatter up ahead. It's probably the best place."
As the next big slab came by, he and I carefully picked Mel up and set him on the ice. Then I helped Reg to sprawl onto the slab, carrying a pole. But when he turned back to assist me, the boat and slab had parted company. The gap of cold water was too wide to safely jump, so the boat and I drifted on.
Then Reg shouted, "Look! There's a big one. Jump on it."
Turning quickly, I saw the floe edging away from me. With desperate strength, I flung myself onto it. Well, most of myself. Knee, ankles and feet trailed, hitting the water and provoking frantic clawing of the ice. I pulled myself up, intact, wet and shivering, on the solid ice surface. Relief at being on solid slabs instead of in the tiny boat was brief, as we were still in great danger.
"What do we do now?" I yelled. "You're over there and I'm over here."
"Wait till they get closer," Reg ordered, "Then we'll all get on the one closest to shore." Over the next few minutes the two floes edged toward each other and toward the now flatter bank.
"Now!" ordered Reg, standing at the edge of his floe. "I'll grab you when you jump. Do it... now!"
I hurtled across a yard of open water where Reg grabbed and steadied me. Things were looking more hopeful now.
"Look there." Reg pointed at a nearby floe. "Let's go for it."
With big steps we scurried onto a smaller, less stable floe headed closer to shore. "We're gonna make it, guys," yelled Reg, waving the pole joyfully. Mel and I shouted enthusiastic agreement.
The floes were almost abutting now, with some approaching the shore. Two more jumps and we were next to shore, but shallow water made the floe run aground. A six-foot span of ankle deep water lay between the ice and safe ground.
"We'll have to wade" was Reg's executive decision.
Taking the pole, he leaped as far as he could, landing in 10 inches of water and four inches of mud. Scrambling the rest of the way, he turned, thrusting out the pole, first to Mel and then to me. With yanks and wading, we got our soaked feet and numb legs ashore.
It was a long cold mile back to the house. There we were met with parental scolding, mixed with relief at our safe return. Then the question, "Where's the boat?"
"Um, um, well... it's... still... in... the river," we told them.
Reg's brother Harv, 20, was sent to retrieve the boat, not by hopping across ice floes, but with a rope and grapple hook. Secured with a hook, the boat was hauled ashore, to be left till warm weather and low water enabled it to be floated back to its mooring place.
On the way home that afternoon, I was closely questioned by my parents, who were not pleased the voyage had been my idea. They took a more positive view when I pointed out that the floe jumping had been my suggestion.
"Yes," I told them, "It was my silly idea that got us into the mess, but it was my good idea that got us out of it."

text: I would like to help you because i have a thing for bootloading. However you must be a little more clear and detailed. Do you plan to have both os on the same drive or partition? This makes a big difference in bootloading. Also what version of windows are you running (ntldr or bootmgr). I think it would be easier to have them on separate partitions and configure separate pbrs and one mbr. If you need help let me know just be more specific.

I filled out the Menu the best I could online and then told the designers what adjustments I was looking to make. The end result came out perfect and it will be just that special personalized added extra touch to everyone's place settings at the shower!"
"Loved this modern and fresh theme so much we decided to get everything available in it printed! The paper is thick and textured, easy to change font style and size and the free design consult is worth the short extra time!"
"I needed to get this done right away! The website makes it so easy you enter the information and you save it with a named file. Select the card, try a couple and then select one. I customized the color, format and the design team was so helpful. Actually gave you useful suggestions, changed font size, centered it, I would recommend this card to Product arrived ahead of time. It is beautiful and perfect for a rehearsal dinner. Staff are Completely reliable and always available to answer your questions! Will always use this company in the future and recommend it to my friends."

mayankleoboy1 - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkAFAIk, LZMA uses only two threads...
LZMA2 can use as many as required. Can you do another benchmark, this time with LZMA2 algo, and set the number of threads to something big. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkNevermind, i thought you were testing on the complete thing, not only one node. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkThe benchmark actually spawns 4 threads if you instruct it to do that. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkThose 4 threads would be 4 processes, right ? Or a single process with 4 threads ? Reply
Kevin G - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkAny news of Intel's ISCCC coming to market? Even if performance is the same, it further integrates the various nodes further for greater density and the possibility of lower performance. Reply
Gigaplex - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkI wonder how AMDs Bobcat would compare in this scenario. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkProbably average, not great at anything though as its PPW is probably lower than ARM in this scenario. That's mostly due to outdated process tech, though, so Jaguar might well be a nice competitor; even more so if people can figure out novel ways to use the GPU. Reply
fteoath64 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkThe Atom is between a rock-and-a-hard-place. It is only good for consumer NAS devices and nothing really else. The Bobcat cores are worse in power consumption while 25% SLOWER than the Atom , so it is pretty useless, although its gpu is rather respectable at 80 cores. The low power Xeon Haswell is rather nice and should be developed (or sliced and diced) into the "New" Atom2 architecture, saving Intel the dearth of the Atom brand that has long since been dead and beaten over and over. There is no shame for Intel on this "dead horse". they kept beating it for all to see!. Reply
dealcorn - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkIt makes me wonder why HP has been hogging almost all Intel's S1200 production capacity. HP may think there is a use case where some customers will find Moonshot attractive.
Is Briarwood (S12X9) the end of the road for Atom at 32 mn? The addition of many Crystal DMA engines to provide a hardware assist in RAID6 calculations lets Atom be a category killer (in a niche market). I find it funny that after all the criticism, the venerable Atom core is departing 32 nm as a (niche) category killer. Reply
Ammohunt - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkThe should have named this product line Crapshoot you would think they would learn from past dealings with intel. As a career Systems Administrator i don't find this to be an attractive product as compared to scaling density using 1-2U servers crammed with ram running a modern hyper visor with 24 or more cores. At the same time a 1-2U server can be re-purposed for dedicated tasks. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkPun win. Reply
Jaybus - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkWhich makes me question why a E5 2650L, a 1.8 GHz Sandy Bridge part, was used as a comparison. WIth the E5-2600 V2 series being launched soon, I think an Ivy Bridge E3 would have been a better comparison. The 10 core E5 V2 at 70 W will allow 20 Ivy Bridge cores (40 hyper-threads) at around 3 GHz and at least 256 GB of RAM in a 1U space. That will allow a lot of web server VMs from a 1U. Can these Atom and ARM systems run as many web servers in a 1U space? For some of us, that is a more important question. Performance per Watt is important, but it doesn't necessarily translate to better performance per 1U space, which is the more important metric for some of us. Reply
Wilco1 - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkWell according to Anand's Calxeda test, you need 2.7x as many Cortex-A9 cores than E5-2660 threads to equal it on webserving. With Cortex-A15 being at least 50% faster than the A9 that reduces to 1.8x. Assuming the E5 V2 is 25% faster, it becomes 2.3x. The max density of the Moonshot is 45 x 4 quadcores in 4.3U, so about 167 cores per 1U vs 40 threads for the E5 V2, ie. it gives 1.8 times as much performance per 1U. Reply
vFunct - Thursday, April 11, 2013 - linkCan we have ARM SoC's with stacked 128GB NAND flash chips on an interconnected grid already?
It's obvious that this is where everything is headed. Don't need a giant cartridge/module when everything can be done in a stacked die. Or, perhaps just add an ARM core/network interface to NAND FLASH.
You could probably fit several thousand of them in a chassis. Maybe several hundred thousand in a rack. Reply
wetwareinterface - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkand that would be a fire you could see from space. a stacked die? and several thousand in a chassis...
would require a cooling solution based on vapor phase and massive heat exchangers to keep it from burning itself up.
and further the arm cpu with the ability to access more than 4 GB of ram doesn't yet exist. tying slower flash to it isn't a solution either except in a san. and that would be fairly pointless as you'd hit a bottleneck on the network side so flash storage would be a pointless expense. Reply
Wilco1 - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkThe HP Moonshot server supports 7200 ARM cores already using air cooling. Given that a typical quad core node uses about 5 Watts, stacking flash and/or RAM is certainly feasible. This is pretty much what many mobile phone SoCs already do.
Also ARM's with more than 4GB capability have been on the market for at least 6 months - Cortex-A15 supports 40-bit addressing. Reply
wetwareinterface - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkokay i'll bite...
first off, and i quote, "Don't need a giant cartridge/module when everything can be done in a stacked die." everything that module contains stacked up would equal a heat dissipation nightmare.
or the second option of just adding an arm core and network interface on top of flash would net nothing but a slow waste of cash.
and also the a15 has a 40 bit address space so it can see up to 1 TB of ram but each thread can only use 32bit of that address space so.... 4GB cap.
and stacking the ram and or flash is feasible... but when you cram a bunch of modules together in the thousands you have heat dissipation problems. the tighter you group the heat sources the more geometrical progression for heat buildup becomes an issue. that heat has to go somewhere and with nowhere to go and no air volume to exchange with the more you have to go with extreme cooling solutions.
phones get away with stacking the cpu and other elements because they don't have to run more than a few minutes accessing those elements at once so heat buildup doesn't become a problem in a typical use scenario. but it does cause issues when you use a phone outside the typical usage it sees.
a server would melt down with all that being accessed at once and constantly if it were stacked and air cooled. Reply
vFunct - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkIf only there were some way to remove that heat, in a way that would "cool" the system..
Also, the ARM A15 is the last ARM core ARM will ever design. They don't plan on making any future designs past that. There are no plans on making 64-bit ARM cores, ever.
So, everything you say is right. Reply

P_Sinclair - Friday, April 12, 2013 - linkHP mentioned FPGAs several times in their presentations. I see that SRC Computers is on their partner list.

As part of the major in Sociology, students are required to complete a senior thesis under the supervision of the "Senior Thesis Professor" and a "Primary Reader" who has a related scholarly interest. The thesis is seen as a capstone experience for majors in that it allows them both to explore research and analytical skills that they have learned earlier and to develop these skills with direct application. In addition, in the process of research and writing, the student develops new skills for the analysis that grow out of the first-hand research tasks. Finally, the thesis process allows the department to assess how well it is doing in preparing students for critical and creative thinking, and for professional or allied careers using their major.
The topic of thesis research is chosen in consultation between the student and the faculty. Hands-on empirical research is encouraged, sometimes using available data sets -- including those developed through the surveys carried out in the Research Methods course in the department -- and sometimes requiring the full initiation and carrying out of data gathering in the form of a survey, participant observation project, content analysis or other research method.
Senior theses are completed largely during the fall semester of the sociology students' last year at Wittenberg. However, revision tasks normally run into the spring semester, and a presentation of the research paper in a student conference format is carried out in the middle of spring semester. The Senior Thesis Presentation is one of the programs in the departmental colloquium series, so an audience made up of students, faculty and local guests has an opportunity to hear about the studies carried out by the senior majors.
Outstanding and accomplished majors are encouraged to seek to earn department honors in Sociology by preparing a Senior Honors Thesis in place of the regular Senior Thesis. The honors thesis is more extensive and requires completion of a more complex and detailed research paper comparable to those found in journals in the discipline.

Listen: Lil B's Cat Makes Rap Debut
Lil B continues to both subvert boundaries and spread joy and happiness via his latest release — a rap track starring his cat KeKe. Lil B himself is even featured, but please note that centrestage is given to the feline. The song sounds like it was designed to be the soundtrack to having a heart attack during a laser tag game while on tripstacy, although we cannot confirm if this was KeKe's artistic intention (seeing as KeKe is a cat, and cannot actually talk). The song, eloquently named 'KeKe The Adopted Tabby Cat MAKES HISTORY! FIRST ANIMAL IN HIP HOP! FEAT LIL B!!!', is further proof that Lil B really is the God of The Internet.
In the words of YouTube user Godly Jesus, "I haven't heard flow this aggressive and raw since 50 Cent's first album."

POMONA - Shirley Castro was sitting at her mother's kitchen counter on a Valentine's Day nearly 40 years ago eating her breakfast when her older brother, Arthur Martinez, then 19, rushed out the door on his way to work.
"He turned around and our eyes connected," she said her eyes filling with tears and her voice cracking. "I remember that, I just remember that so clear, and he said to me, `I'll see you later.' That was the last time I saw him."
Martinez went missing that day in 1973, and two days later the body of the Ontario man was found in a Pomona flood control channel.
Despite the passage of time, she and her family is still hopeful that her brother's killer can be brought to justice.
"This changed my family," said Castro explaining that after Martinez's death, their mother, 89-year-old Madlen Martinez, was unable to cope with the devastating loss.
"Pictures came off the wall and we just never talked about it because it was so hard on my mom," she recalled.
It wasn't until Castro's son, Andrew Castro, 26, began asking questions about his Uncle Arthur that his grandmother was able to open up about the tragic and traumatic event.
"I started talking to her about it in 2004 and told her about the technologies available now and that we had to keep trying to find out who did this," Andrew Castro said.
Little by little, Madlen Martinez was able to open up and talk about her son to her grandson.
"She only talks to him about it," Shirley Castro said.
While the 26-year-old can't explain why, he feels a definite connection with the uncle who died nearly 15 years before he was even born.
"When I first started this, I had a lot of dreams that didn't make sense," Andrew Castro said. "Now after talking to my grandma, it started to make more sense to me."
The young father has even found a musical connection with his departed uncle listening to songs Arthur Martinez once enjoyed.
"This is my little boy that is going to find who did this to my boy," Madlen Martinez said. "I tell my God, `Maybe you're waiting for me to find out and then you'll take me."'
Her eyes brightened beneath her glasses and a smile began to form across her face.
"I'd want to die right away and go with him," the mother, grandmother and great-grandmother said noting her husband, Arthur Martinez's father, died without seeing their son's killer brought to justice.
Hoping to fulfill his grandmother's final wish, Andrew Castro contacted the Pomona Police Department and learned his uncle's case would be handled by the department's Cold Case unit.
Working with authorities, in 2007, then Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a reward for information in five unsolved homicide cases including Arthur Martinez's.
"When they offered the money, I thought someone would come forward, but no," said the stoic matriarch of the Martinez family as she sat at her neatly decorated kitchen table in her Ontario home. The same home the family was living in when Arthur Martinez was killed.
The governor's office offered $50,000 in Arthur Martinez's case. That reward is still waiting to be collected.
Investigators know Arthur Martinez did make it to his job in Upland, but the timeline of events become murky after his shift ended.
"Some people say he was picked up by a friend of his," Andrew Castro said. "Others say they saw him with other people."
Hoping for another shot at finding the person who killed his uncle, Andrew Castro and Pomona Police Detective Jennifer Turpin are reopening the case for a fourth time.
While Madlen Martinez is hopeful, she worries this latest investigation will result in no arrests.
"To me, it's like it just happened today or yesterday," said Madlen Martinez. "It still hurts."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Pomona Police Department at 909-622-1241.

The mosquito beats its wings some 500 times a second; human beings can manage to wave their arms to a very limited extent in the same amount of time. If scientists could ever build such a powerful mechanism, it would soon burn up due to the intense friction. And yet a mosquito accomplishes this feat for as long as it lives, flying at a high speed in the direction it chooses and for as long as it desires. In addition, it has been endowed with the most perfect maneuvering and landing abilities.
A mosquito requires a high level of oxygen to beat its wings at this speed. Therefore, it has a special respiratory passage that immediately reaches every cell in its body. Since this passage is directly connected to the outside air, its cells engage in oxygen exchange without the need for any intermediate substances. As a result, a mosquito never becomes tired.
Creating such a wing in a creature that is less than 1 cm (0.4 inch) in size, together with a respiratory system that makes this possible, is a display of Allah's astonishing artistry. No coincidence can give rise to such a perfect mechanism in such a complex life form and endow it with perfect functioning, or give it a pair of wings that can beat 500 times per second simultaneously. Such a flawless creature and its amazing wings could not have come into being through random stages, but only Creation:
Yes, indeed, everything in the heavens and on Earth belongs to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah are not really following their partner-deities; they are only following [their own] conjecture. They are only guessing. (Surah Yunus, 66)

ATLANTA - A player for the Gwinnett Braves has been accused of raping a woman while on a trip to Columbus, Ohio.
The Triple-A Gwinnett Braves led twice in the game but couldn't hold on, falling 10-6 to the Durham Bulls on Wednesday in Durham, N.C.
The Gwinnett Braves lost their first game of the season in heartbreaking fashion, as the Durham Bulls plated two runs in the bottom of the ninth to come away with a 2-1 victory at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, N.C.
The Gwinnett Braves (4-0) utilized a pair of solo home runs by designated hitter Jordan Parraz to complete the sweep of the Charlotte Knights (0-4) on Sunday afternoon in Lawrenceville. Parraz went 2 for 3 with blasts in the fourth and sixth innings to lead Gwinnett to a 6-2 win in front of 5,204 fans at Coolray Field.
LAWRENCEVILLE – After frigid temperatures and rain forced a postponement of Opening Day on Thursday, the forecast could not have been better for the Gwinnett Braves to start the 2013 season on Friday. In front of a Coolray Field crowd of 6,272, the G-Braves rode a strong pitching performance by Sean Gilmartin to a 5-4 win over the Charlotte Knights.
The Gwinnett Braves have hired Randy Ready as the team's new manager the club announced Friday.
Gwinnett Braves outfielder Jose Constanza has claimed the International League Batting Title for the 2012 season with a .314 batting average.
The Triple-A Gwinnett Braves snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-1 win over the Norfolk Tides on Sunday.
NORFOLK, VA. - On a night when the Gwinnett Braves showed some life at the plate, it was the bullpen that struggled as Gwinnett fell to the Norfolk Tides, 4-3 on Saturday at Harbor Park. With the loss, the G-Braves have now lost eight straight games as the 2012 regular season winds down.
A good pitching performance from Gwinnett Braves' starter Yohan Flande was overshadowed by a great pitching performance by the Norfolk Tides right-hander Zach Clark, as Norfolk defeated the G-Braves 4-0 Friday night at Harbor Park in Norfolk, Va. With the loss, Gwinnett has now lost seven straight games with three to play in the 2012 regular season.
The Pawtucket Red Sox scored five runs in the ninth inning against Gwinnett reliever Cory Gearrin, defeating the G-Braves 9-4 on Wednesday afternoon at Coolray Field.
Jair Jurrjens was a late addition to the starting role for the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves, pitching two innings and allowing a pair of hits in a 3-1 loss to the Pawtucket Red Sox on Monday at Coolray Field.
LAWRENCEVILLE - Syracuse right-hander Jeff Mandel threw the second consecutive complete-game shutout against the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves in as many nights, leading the Chiefs to a 7-0 win Sunday at Coolray Field.Mandel's six hitter, his first nine-inning effort this season, ensured a split of the four-game series.
LAWRENCEVILLE - The Norfolk Tides concluded their two-game series sweep of Gwinnett with an 8-0 drubbing of the G-Braves on Tuesday afternoon at Coolray Field. Dana Eveland worked seven scoreless, three-hit innings in the start for Norfolk, and Jamie Hoffmann's three-run homer in the second provided all the offense he'd need.
LAWRENCEVILLE - The Norfolk Tides scored three times in the ninth to tie the game and three more times in the 11th to steal a 6-3 win from the Gwinnett Braves on Monday night at Coolray Field. Miguel Batista pitched six scoreless innings for the G-Braves and left with a 3-0 lead, but the bullpen failed to hold the advantage.

Living Proof Wave Shaping, Curl Defining No Frizz Styling Cream
So, I actually use this product. Check out the entire line because they have products for no frizz curls as well as straightening creams. I have to say I really love this product. I have naturally curly hair and my curls are softly defined for the first time in my life. I love it so much in fact, that I now prefer to wear my hair curly rather than straightening it as I had prominently done before.

(Reuters) - Canada's holiday shopping season got off to a slow start in November with retail sales rising only 1.3 percent from the previous year, compared with 4.2 percent growth a year earlier, according to data released by MasterCard on Thursday.
Still, the shopping season was still young in November. MasterCard Advisors, the payment company's research and consulting division, found that in recent years, holiday shopping peaks from December 20 to December 22.
"Many Canadians may have gotten an early start with Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, but it's still a very young phenomenon in Canada," Senior Vice-President Richard McLaughlin, said in a release.
The Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving is the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season south of the border, and in recent years retailers have imported Black Friday sales to Canada.
Some also promote online sales the following Monday.
Canada's online retail sales continued to grow in November, increasing 26.4 percent.

A woman injured in an apartment fire in the 400 block of Sargent Ave., on Wednesday has been upgraded to stable condition, police said today.
She suffered smoke inhalation after a fire broke out about 3:30 p.m. in a five-storey apartment building in the core area.
The fire in the apartment block at 475 Sargent Ave. near Balmoral Street was thought to have started in the kitchen of a suite, according to a source at the scene.
Firefighters on the scene used breathing apparatus to move throughout the building, checking suites for occupants as they contained the fire.
Fire officials have yet to confirm the cause of the fire.
A damage estimate has been pegged at $70,000 to the suite.

"Consumers always want more cheese."
That's what Wiley Bates III, Executive Chef at Pizza Hut, said as his Crazy Cheesy Crust pizza hits stores this week.
This newest menu item was specially designed to bring the most cheese to consumer, according to a report featured on a Yahoo! finance blog. Each pizza slice features two edible pockets of a gooey, melted cheese mix of Asiago, Romano, Fontina, Provolone and mozzarella.
Pizza Hut customers "love cheese, and we want to give them not just cheese, but we want to give them the highest quality we can and the most flavor we can," says Dominique Vitry, director of menu innovation.
Crazy Cheese Crust pizza will be available in all of Pizza Hut's U.S. stores beginning on Wednesday. Click here to read more.
