The shampoo works for dry hair, normal hair, and even color-treated hair because it has all the nutrients your hair needs to help it lock in the color. And it brings the shine every time you use it too so your hair will look beautiful no matter your hair type.
One of the best things that you'll love about Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Hydrating Clarifying Shampoo though is the price. At only $5.17 for an 8.5 ounce bottle, this is definitely one of the cheapest organic shampoos that you could buy and is even less than many non-organic shampoos. So why wouldn't you use it?

Johannesburg - Julius Malema has given the ANC's Mangaung conference an ultimatum to immediately reinstate him as youth league president with full powers, or else face the consequences.
In a letter of demand written to ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe yesterday, Malema identified himself as a loyal member of the ANC, despite his expulsion in April. His suspended confidants – former league secretary-general Sindiso Magaqa and ex-spokesman Floyd Shivambu – also want to be reinstated in their positions.
"We believe that the ANC 53rd national conference should, after reading through the report attached, take these decisions to allow us to continue with our responsibilities immediately after the national conference," the letter reads in part.
"We further write this letter to the national conference as a platform that should deliberate and look into our disciplinary hearing before we explore other options to seek fair hearing and justice."
It's unclear if Malema's options include going to court, but he states in the letter that he had avoided the court action to first allow the conference to discuss the matter.
The national conference is the ANC's final arbiter on organisational matters.
Malema said he was willing to be corrected and guided through principles of the ANC constitution, but he does not want to be silenced. - The Star

Wired for Speed?
Q: I have a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router on my network. When using my Microsoft Xbox 360, will I get the same speed connecting to the Internet using wireless, or is it better to wire a connection into the Xbox? — Nicholas J. McDermott
A: The answer to your question depends on two factors: how many other simultaneous wireless Internet connections typically route through the Linksys, and how far the Xbox 360 is from the router.
If you have multiple PCs connected via Wi-Fi to the Internet, then the total bandwidth of the router is shared. Because the WRT54GS is an 802.11g router, it supports a maximum of 54 megabits per second. If you have six PCs connected, then your router's bandwidth is split, with each PC getting only 9 megabits under the most ideal circumstances.
But other factors also affect bandwidth, so you'll never see best-case throughput. The distance and intervening walls between a PC or Xbox and the router all conspire to weaken the signal. That 54 Mb may end up being a paltry 2 Mb, or even less, if the Xbox is too far away.
In a typical home that has only one or two PCs connected, however, you shouldn't have any issues with bandwidth, provided that the signal strength is good. Try connecting your laptop via Wi-Fi to the router from the Xbox 360's location. If your laptop's wireless utility shows a good, strong signal, you're probably fine using a wireless connection for the Xbox, too.

About a year ago we got some New Zealand 42 below vodka and we managed to drink about two thirds of it. I don't know why we left the rest of it - a very unusual situation in our household! Anyway, I was baking a lot of sweet goodies around that time, using real vanilla pods and we decided to experiment with adding used vanilla pods to the remaining vodka to see what that's going to do to the flavour. A year later I discovered the bottle at the back of the drinks cabinet and it is just like a very concentrated, very alcoholic vanilla essence. I don't suggest you start prepping a year before making this bread, so you can just use vanilla vodka or regular vodka and a teaspoon of vanilla. However, if you do use vanilla in your baking, I definitely recommend you use real vanilla pod and make the full use of them by storing used vanilla pods in either vodka or sugar to make vanilla flavoured vodka or vanilla sugar.
Vodka Cranberry Bread
100g white starter (100% hydration)
170g water
100g milk
20g vanilla vodka
400g white flour
100g rye flour
1 ½ tsp salt
100g dried cranberries
50g unsalted butter, softened
60g brown sugar
You might think its an odd combination, but I can't drink cocktails at the moment, so I've decided I might as well make cocktail-themed bread. Sea breeze works well as a cocktail, why wouldn't it work as a bread?
Place starter, water, milk, vodka and flours into a mixing bowl of a free standing mixer and mix on speed 1 for 6 minutes. Leave to autolise for 20 minutes covered with a tea towel to prevent drying out. Add salt, brown sugar and dried cranberries and mix for a minute on speed 2. With the mixer still running, add butter bit by bit, to make sure that each bit of butter is well incorporated before adding more in. Total mixing time on speed 2 should not exceed 3 minutes, to prevent dough from over-mixing.
Place the dough into an oiled bowl and do three stretch and folds over the next hour and a half, every thirty minutes, covering between each stretch and fold. After the last stretch and fold, cover the bowl and leave it to prove at room temperature for 4 hours to 6 hours, until the dough doubles in size.
Again, it was getting late and I didn't wait for the dough to completely double in size, and shaped it as it was – in an oval shape, covered it and placed it in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
In the morning take the shaped dough out of the fridge and leave it to warm up at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours or until it doubles in volume in the banneton.
Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 200C, about an hour before you want to bake. Slash the loaf.
Bake for 40 minutes, rotating it half way through to ensure even baking, until the loaf is nice and brown colour.
This is a beauty of a bread – cranberry and vanilla flavour really make through during the baking, and the vanilla flavour got even stronger a couple of days in.
I might experiment a bit more, adding a bit more vanilla vodka, to see how much it can take without being too over-powering. I had it for my morning with just butter, it doesn't need anything else, balance of sugar and fruits is just perfect.

What Are You Playing at, Beck?
We probably don't deserve to hear it, but some enterprising blogger somewhere (or Bon Iver) will record this so… whatever. EXACTLY. From McSweeney's (via Stereogum):
In the wake of Modern Guilt and The Information, Beck's latest album comes in an almost-forgotten form—twenty songs existing only as individual pieces of sheet music, never before released or recorded. Complete with full-color, heyday-of-home-play-inspired art for each song and a lavishly produced hardcover carrying case (and, when necessary, ukelele notation), Song Reader is an experiment in what an album can be at the end of 2012—an alternative that enlists the listener in the tone of every track, and that's as visually absorbing as a dozen gatefold LPs put together. The songs here are as unfailingly exciting as you'd expect from their author, but if you want to hear "Do We? We Do," or "Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard," bringing them to life depends on you.

My damaged Canon DIGITAL IXUS i zoom that suffered from E18 Error. It is a well know flaw by users of Canon Powershot and Ixus cameras but not acknowledged by Canon as a flaw in camera design.
Canon DIGITAL IXUS i zoom had been accompanying me since 2006 and finally rest in peace in 2008. Actually it could still be used. It could still work fine sometimes. It will only cause problem when the lens couldn't retract which also known as E18 Error. It's either get it repaired or get a new one.
Tried to troubleshoot it ourselves after I found out about it online but when we opened up the casing, it's too complicated so decided to send to the pro for it but the repair was too expensive. Sigh… So I had to get a new one which I'm using currently, Canon DIGITAL IXUS 80 IS.
Location: At home.
Comments: Resized, adjusted the brightness & contrast, and adjusted the curves.

Acerca del libro
This suburban book contains work that is mostly from 1984 to 1992. If it didn't come from the cul-de-sac during those years it's certainly about that time and place. We still live on the cul-de-sac and through this book you can relive it with us. It's a mashup of words and photos that were never intended to be compiled; if we were to plan this, each of our egos would have stopped this project in its early stages, and we would not be talking to each other ever again. But, one thing led to another, and we realized how much we encouraged and supported each other's artistic voice.

Acerca del creador
I'm a second-generation photographer. I live in the shadow of the Matterhorn. Every one on the cul-de-sac knows when it's 9:35. The booms of Disney's fireworks are the heartbeat of our summer evenings. You can still see the bombs bursting in the air if you're young enough to climb the fifty-year-old tree in my front yard. I've attended the local schools, but most of my training in photography came from my family's photography business, which was started the day that I was born. I've been an artist exhibiting my work around the world since 1986 and a photography teacher at a local college since 1996. Photography is my life.

There will be no defensive thoughts in Alex Lynn's mind as the GP3 Series moves to Monza in Italy this weekend.
The 20-year-old racing driver from Dunmow will take a sizeable lead at the top of the GP3 standings to the Italian iconic circuit, but there will be no thoughts of looking to sit on that advantage over New Zealander Richie Stanaway.
Instead, Lynn (pictured), who is a member of the Red Bull Junior Programme, will stay on the attack to cement his position as the most dominant driver in the championship.
And he is also looking to continue impressing the watching Formula One bosses at a high-speed venue that will suit his Carlin team car as he tries to secure a place in F1 in the next few seasons.
"We'll try to attack and to win at Monza," said Lynn.
"I think we are genuinely the fastest car on the grid so you have to attack rather than defend."
See this week's paper for the full version of this story.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Everything except for the distance to the city center (I expected short walking distance) The above mentioned distance
hotel staff, breakfast, close to tram
great staff, great value, room spacious and clean, older property, need tram to get to altstadt, on street parking in an older neighborhood, excellent breakfast buffet.
tight single rooms, disagreeable smell in some corridors, smudges on some linings, refrigerators out of operation
You have wirelless just at first floor; they not have big towels; there is more than 5 min. from the old centre (about 6-7 tram stations)
Pleasant staf and comfort room.
Clean and friendly.
very helpful staff insufficient bed-linen - needed to be a mattress cover and then a sheet
Nice location, directly in the centre we reserved for a suite and standard room for the kids. This was not available so we got a downgrade......
Clean and cosy a little noisy from aircraft and revellers
The young man who manages this small facility does an excellent job. He is helpful, pleasant, and speaks good English. Good breakfast. Clean and comfortable. Free parking is available on the street. Good wi-fi access. This hotel is within the city, but not in the center. Guests who intend to use public transportation within Dresden to and from the hotel should be certain of the tram routes in order to avoid becoming lost returning to the hotel. Staff will provide assistance with tram maps.
clean room, friendly staff, near 2 tram stations (Tram no,4.9.13 /about 2 minutes on foot) Entrance door was little bit difficult to find at first time.
Very easy 5-10 minute tram ride to the center- stops a block from the hotel. Little shops near by for fruit, mail, etc. Lovely neighborhood, too. Very simple rooms, but spotless. Seems like it is a new hotel, so they may be ironing out details. For example, the wireless internet connection didn't work, but they were trying to resolve it.
It's location , ideal for visiting Dresden on strassen bahn Lack of car parking
the man was very friendly. great room. breakfast price was not included in room rate, my son only ate a roll and we were still charged 7 euros for his breakfast. a little farther away from town center than i thought. on street parking. credit card machine was not working.
We liked the proximity to the Elbe, the neighborhood was not bombed much in 1945, so the architecture is interesting. We really enjoyed walking only a short distance to the Watkes (spelling?) Brauhaus (beautiful beer garden on the Elbe, wonderful view of Dresden skyline) - good food for a good price. There was a bad smell in the bathroom, when we first got there, as if fumes from the sewage system were filtering back up, but it was gone by the evening.
cleanliness , facilities and quiet
Parking space, breakfast
it was excellent. everything was nice.
I did like the hotel owner switching on the heating for me, as the room temperature was aroun 16 degrees, far too low for me. The absence of moschitos nets at the windows.
clean and comfort, with private parking. bus-stop at the gate.
Cleanness, good welcome Breakfast service (not exactly food- it was good)
It was easy to go to the city. A lot of flies.
I did like the hotel owner switching on the heating for me, as the room temperature was aroun 16 degrees, far too low for me. The absence of moschitos nets at the windows.
Clean room, quite good location, parking available. If u need internet, its better to say that in advance, same for late arrivals.
The staff at the reception mainly spoke english actually a very good english and both gentleman were very kind and friendly, very convenient not far from the highway very easy to find, clear information to get there. the only hic up was the breakfast in the hotel a bit poorish in selection some plain toast would be good to have, and one of the lady was a bit abrupt, a smile doesn't cost anything
staff very accommodating and hotel was very close to city. Gate to parking was closed at 10:00 pm which was good and bad news; hotel was very safe because of this, however
it was excellent. everything was nice.
It was a clean hotel, very comfortable and was close to an efficient public transport. It's location, which was a bit isolated - on the side of a busy road, near car and caravan stores. It was also further from the centre of town than I anticipated. It would be nice to have tea/coffee facilities in the room, considering the hotel is far from cafes etc.
Friendly staff, everything excellent
It was affordable, very clean and friendly. I would stay there again. Nope, I was very satisfied.
The room was very spacious and location is within 10 min from center by tram (Public transport is very good in Dresden). The breakfast service could be improved: have a bit more variety in terms of food choice
Although a little far from the city center, a tram can leave you there easily. Comfortable and new. Totally worth it for the price you pay.
Easy to find, 10 minutes from highway, free parking on street nearby. Small room, minimalistic interior, internet was out of order
It was affordable, very clean and friendly. I would stay there again. Nope, I was very satisfied.
The room was very spacious and location is within 10 min from center by tram (Public transport is very good in Dresden). The breakfast service could be improved: have a bit more variety in terms of food choice
Location although just outside the centre, very easy to get to by tram and bus, and if its very fine a nice walk along the river. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast good value for the price although it would have been nice to have some cereal choice. Staff very helpful.
Location to down town Dresden. Easy access to street cars. Small urban village. When we arrived the hotel was closed. There was a phone number on the door. We called the number and we got an answering machine. We left a message. We walked down the street to the next entrance way and found a bell/button for "My Bed Dresden" After about 15 minutes someone arrived and told us that the rooms were not ready. We said ok and we left till 3:30pm. When we returned at 3:30 the hotel was again closed. We rang the bell next door and someone came over from across the street. Our room was located across the street in an apartment building. The room was sparcely furnished with ikea furniture. The bed was a students bed, a bit small for two adults. There was no internet and we were told to go to the internet cafe.
- the city center was easy to reach from the hotel, by tram - the staff did not speak any English and was not very friendly; - for 9 days, nobody cleaned my room ; - in the description of the room was presented a wash-basin, a toilet and a chichinette and in reality , none of these were present in the room, but on the hall ; - the directions to reach the hotel were wrong : they recommended me to walk 2 streets and then take a tram, when there were trams starting directly from the train station ; - it was listed that the reception is opened until 8 p.m., but at 7 p.m. the staff has already left ; - the heating was working only a few hours per day and in some days it was stopped
To be honest it's not a hotel. It's a group of flats divided to rooms. They are in two buildings on opposite sides of a street. It's not far away from town's center. It seems they are starting, everything is brand new IKEA. Mattress on a bed was very thin. They have better in IKEA ;) There is no room service. Breakfest was a disaster. No warm dishes (eggs, vienna sausages, wurst), no fresh vegetables, they even ran out of milk on second day! Such a breakfest should be included in ro0m's price not charged extra.
I loved my big airy room, and that the friendly reception guy carried my bag up when he showed me to it. It was very handy to have a market, restaurants, and streetcar stop so close. It was a bit out of the center. My biggest problem was the breakfast system. There were only five tables, but several of them were always covered with used dishes, and there was no way to even pour a cup of coffee until they were cleared and reset. They should either set out dishes and let people help themselves, or add extra staff to keep up with the work.
It's a budget accommodation and it's not too far away from the old town if you are driving. There's TV in the room. If you plan to check in late, the reception is closed and you'll have to call and speak in German. We were lucky that a local guest was also waiting outside the door and he called for us. Or we may have to look for another accommodation at 9pm. The room is okay but several things needed to be repaired (shower head holder, blind, etc.).

Iftekhar Murtaza fancied himself a bit of the rebel, a gym rat with red and black tribal tattoos on buff shoulders.
In photos posted online, he struck a "gangsta" pose – muscles rippling outside a sleeveless T-shirt.
But those who know him considered Murtaza more of a "wanksta," a harmless wannabe gangster who used punctuation marks to make smiley faces online.
Now some are not sure what to believe.
Murtaza – who had never been to court as an adult for anything more serious than a speeding ticket – appeared before an Arizona judge Thursday as a "person of interest" in the slaying of his on-again-off-again girlfriend's father and sister in Orange County. His former girlfriend's mother also was beaten and left outside the family's Anaheim Hills home.
The homicide victims – Jayprakesh and Karishma Dhanak – were beaten with baseball bats, stabbed and set ablaze on a hiking trail in Irvine, two minutes from the UCI dorm where Murtaza's ex-girlfriend, Shayona, lived, police and court records say.
Although authorities were not describing the 22-year-old as a suspect Thursday, they also weren't letting him out of jail. Murtaza was carrying a plane ticket to Bangladesh when federal marshals arrested him last weekend at a Phoenix airport.
A portrait emerged Thursday from close friends, school records and Murtaza's Friendster page of a man whose deep feelings belied his bad boy facade.
Hours after the murders, Murtaza planned to pick up longtime friend Anisha Vasani and another close friend from Westwood and drive to the Santa Ana hospital where Shayona Dhanak's mother lay unconscious. He and Dhanak had broken up a few weeks before – as they had many times in their three-year relationship – but Murtaza didn't think twice about rushing to her, Vasani said.
"He wanted to be with Shayona, for her," said Vasani, a psychology major at UCLA. "He just loved her so much." But the trip was called off. Police weren't letting anyone into the hospital room. Shayona Dhanak was under police protection.
On his Web page, Murtaza described himself as "someone who knows how to have fun but takes life seriously when it's needed."
At 6-foot-1, 171 pounds, Murtaza, a Leo, urged readers on his site to let the kid inside them "come out and play."
A former student of John F. Kennedy High in Granada Hills and Albert Einstein Continuation School in North Hills, Murtaza took a few junior college classes ending in 2005. He was a smart guy, friends said, who managed to make a good living without a formal education, paying for a glitzy Hollywood Hills apartment and a Range Rover. But his lack of enthusiasm for education concerned his girlfriend's parents.
Over the years, Murtaza shared the highs and lows of his love life in dozens of e-mails to Richa Singh, a Tucson woman he met about five years ago in Los Angeles.
His once-joyful missives turned heartsick as he became convinced that the Dhanak familiy was sabotaging his relationship with Shayona, 18.
"He felt kind of hopeless with the whole situation," said Singh, 23. "He told me he wanted to talk to the family and reassure them. He felt the whole family was ganged up on him."
Religion was part of the problem, court records said. The Dhanaks are Hindu, Murtaza is Muslim. Pressured by her family, Shayona broke off the relationship over and over again – but always managed to find her way back to Murtaza – and he would always take her back, Vasani said.
"Oh, my God, she is so mad at me," Singh remembers Murtaza e-mailing her during one of his spats with Shayona. But he never threatened any violence, friends said.
"Most Hindu families will give in after a while if they see the person really loves them," Vasani said. "He understood that with time that would happen. Everything with Shayona happened with time."
Shayona last split with Murtaza about a month ago, friends said, but no one expected it to last long.
"I could see the pain in his eyes," Vasani said. "But he was still smiling. He knew they would get back together."
Singh said Murtaza met Shayona at a party about three years ago and was instantly enamored.
"I met this girl. She is awesome," Murtaza e-mailed Singh.
But Dhanak knew her family would not approve of the tattooed Muslim man, Vasani said – and resisted his advances – for a while. He gave her a ring – rented a helicopter – and worshiped the ground she walked on. He overheard phone calls Dhanak had with her mother, disapproving of the relationship, but still he told friends he wanted to marry Dhanak – and that he planned to talk to her parents about it.
That's why friends they have a hard time seeing him as a killer, especially one capable of the ferocity shown in the Dhanak attack.
"He never said anything bad about her family," Vasani said. "He respected them. For him, it was all about love."
Indeed, Murtaza challenged people on his Web site to become his friends.
"Anyone who wants to meet me, I wanna meet you, and anyone who I wanna meet, you should definitely want to meet me, too."

Govt's Collaboration Plan Gets Cautious Tick From Principals
Government's Collaboration Plan Gets Cautious Tick
From Principals
'The Government's announcement to work collaboratively with the sector to harness leadership strengths and the skills of expert teachers has the potential to lift the achievement of more children,' said Philip Harding, President of the New Zealand Principals' Federation (NZPF).
The announcement to invest in change principals, executive principals, lead teachers and expert teachers is intended to help retain experienced, high quality teaching professionals to benefit a much wider cohort of students than just those in their own schools.
'The initiative has the potential to make a real difference. Its success will depend on how 'achievement' is measured, how the school and teacher selection process is developed, whether schools and their communities will welcome and own the intervention, whether Boards of Trustees will agree to release their expert teachers and principals, and how the operational details shape up. That will require major input from the profession or this idea will be a complete waste of money,' said Harding.
The plan omits to acknowledge that children spend fifteen percent of their time in school and sixty percent of the variance around under achievement relates to 'outside the school' influences such as socio-economic issues.
'With a parallel plan to address the 'out of school' influences on achievement, this initiative has the potential to be truly transformational,' said Harding.

Ibsen's Odyssey in America
UW-Milwaukee stages 'Gint'
The show's production values and performance style are simple but effective. In act one, Pete Gint faces a tribe of ferocious, hedonistic hogs; the actors wear nylon masks that significantly disfigure their faces, and this, coupled with a horrifying sound environment of squealing and growling, bring deep horror to the surreal encounter. Zachary Dean is terrifying as the Hog King, tempting Gint into a life of selfish pleasure and giving him a motto by which he will unwittingly live: "Myself and nothing but myself."
The ensemble does an exemplary job creating multitudinous complex characters. Of particular note are the two actors playing Gint: Glenn Widdicombe in act one, and Michael Jeske in act two. Widdicombe brings to life the young Gint, full of arrogance and formless ambition, and Jeske takes the reins as Gint in later life, losing his powers and pleasures one by one and facing his inevitable journey home to judgment for his wasted life. One of the most striking scenes occurs at the end of act one when young Gint eases his Oldie Mama's (Brittany Curran) death by taking her in his arms and telling her a story about a sled ride to meet Jesus, while old Gint stands silently to the side, marking the moment as the end of childhood.
After countless adventures in selfishness, Gint and the audience are faced with the question of what his life has added up to. When he tells a medicine man (Cheong-Hyeon Park), "I am myself," the man replies, "And what is that? Nothing." Gint is forced to justify his own existence and, realizing that he has indeed lived by the hog's motto, he returns at last to the good woman who loved him as a boy. Sally (Anna Bisch) welcomes him with open arms, telling him that he has amounted to something insofar as he has been in her heart the whole time. But can the love of others truly save him? The medicine man leaves Gint and the audience with the unsettling conclusion, "We shall see."

Well, one obvious solution is to get another sever into the cycle -- a reasonable machine (no screen, video etc) should not add more than $30 per workstation... BTW, thrashing is more likely with DrScheme, since you get a very small amount of shared memory -- most of it is individual per process. I don't know how Eclipse does in that department. BTW#2, an interesting idea to try (if MrEd had this capability) is to start a single MrEd process and inside that run several DrScheme instances, each on a different display... > I've already used the PLT_ONLY (or similar, not at school to check) > environment variable that Robby (I think) suggested to reduce the > memory footprint required for a single student, but students can > still bring down the machine.

(Run a Unix-into course, and right after students learn how to fork processes things become interesting.) The problem is that the default setup for all OSs (including Linux) assumes a single user -- so when you run a lot of stuff the system will try hard to just run that stuff while slowly grinding itself to uselessness. One easy way to solve your problem (assuming that you have enough resources for running 30 drschemes at the same time) is to put limits on how much ram each student gets (see http://www.seifried.org/security/index.php/Linux_Limiting_and_Monitoring_Users for examples). This way they can't run another drscheme (since the limit you'll put will not be enough for two). Another thing that I would do (together with limits) is change drscheme to be a script that checks if there is a running mred process that the current user has, and barf if this is the case (so they know why it doesn't work, rather than complaining that something is broken). > > > Students seem to be in the very bad habit of double-clicking > > > files to open them, not realizing that (I think) this spawns a > > > new DrScheme process and eats up lots of memory. > > > > > > Is there any way to have subsequent calls to DrScheme (well, the > > > drscheme binary) check for a running version for the given user > > > and open a new tab with the file if there is one, or open a new > > > instance if not. > > > > It should do this on Windows.

From the man page: [...] Yes it does, and it uses exactly the kind of stuff I'm talking about. In FireFox's case, it looks like it uses orbit, which is openning a socket file which is used to communicate with the running process. Another popular way of doing this is through some X messages. In both cases, this is the kind of functionality that is hard to get to work across many unix implementations, and MrEd is a "very native" unix application (relies of very common X and Unix stuff). > Plus, it's just embarrassing that a whole class can run a Java > program like BlueJ without making the server thrash while a > relatively Linux/Unix native program like DrScheme seems to have > problems in a multi-user environment. [...] Of course not -- in the same way that it's not embarrassing to be able to run so much less Java code than C code, etc etc. (If you use assembler, then one of these $130 boxes will be able to run all student programs at the same time...) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://www.barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem plans to name its new institute for European studies after German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
Israel's ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor, said last Friday that the gesture was to thank Kohl for his long support of Israel. Primor said Kohl deserved special merit for helping win a "privileged status" for Israel in its relations with the European Union at last year's E.U. summit in Essen, Germany.
Kohl is due to visit Israel next month.
Rita Sussmuth, president of the lower house of the German Parliament, is now in Israel on an official visit to mark 30 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

CORN: Corn futures are mostly lower in midsesson trade Thursday, erasing their opening gains. Trade volume remains light with a lot of traders off for the week. Some rain is in the forecast for Southern Brazil which may remove one source of support that has helped fuel a modest price rally this week. At midsession, March corn is down 4 cents at $6.39; new crop December down 2 cents at $5.81.
SOYBEANS: Soybean futures prices opened just a bit lower, Thursday, then climbed to the plus side briefly, but are now trading lower again in midsession trade. Improving forecasts for rain in Southern Brazil for this weekend are putting some pressure on the soybean market in overnight trade. There is also pressure from outside markets with weaker crude oil, weaker gold and a stronger dollar. The only plus from the outside markets is a higher DJIA due to some more encouraging news on unemployment and the housing market this morning. At midsession, January beans are down 7 cents at $11.91; new crop November down 6 cents at $11.98.
WHEAT: Wheat prices are mixed in midsession trade Thursday, with the CBOT contracts mostly lower while KCBT and MGE contracts have erased early losses and are now trading slightly higher again for the ninth straight trading session. There is little new news to provide price direction to the wheat market. As we suspected yesterday, year-end short covering by funds has tapered off to a trickle in this second-to-last trading day of 2011 and the especially bearish fundamentals for soft red winter wheat are overwhelming residual support from dry weather in South America, especially with even corn futures on the minus side in midsession trade today. Currently CBOT March futures are down 3 cents at $6.48, while KCBT March is up a penny at $7 and MGE March is up 2 cents at $8.65.
CATTLE: Cattle futures are lower in midsession trade Thursday. Cattle traders are waiting for some news from the cash market. So far the gap between bids and asking prices remains very wide. But some buyers need to buy cattle soon which could force them to raise bids. And there's room for them to do that since cutout values posted big gains on Wednesday. Then again, with futures at a discount to current cash bids, they're not in a good position to hold out for higher cash bids, either. In midsession trade, February cattle are down 52 cents at $122.62, while April is down 42 cents at $126.42. Feeder cattle futures are lower as well, with March down 30 cents at $150.05 and April down 60 cents at $150.85.
HOGS: Lean hog futures are lower in midsession trade Thursday. Cash hog prices continue to work slowly lower, and they are now down about $5 per cwt since the middle of the month. The weakening cash prices are putting pressure on futures prices as well. The recent strength in the dollar is also a concern since exports are such an important part of demand. Hog weights are rising. Last week they were up 1.4 pounds from a year earlier. A hefty slaughter schedule is expected for Saturday, but it looks like plants have their needs covered well into next week. At midsession, February hogs are down 50 cents at $85.05, while April hogs are down 32 cents at $88.63.
COTTON: Cotton prices opened higher as expected but then quickly sold off and are now on the minus side, though off the lows of the day thus far. Cotton prices posted big gains on Wednesday turning most technical signals positive. But with just today and tomorrow left as trading days for year-end book closing and traders reluctant to maintain positions through a holiday weekend, we're seeing some profit-taking today; especially since there wasn't much news to warrant yesterday's jump in futures and the strengthening dollar is hurting export competitiveness. At midsession, March cotton is down 28 at $90.40 while new crop December cotton is down $1.81 at $87.12.

Hundreds Show Support For Native American
Sacred Sites & Human Rights
Navajo Nation President and Tribal Leaders, Among Many,
at 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
San Francisco, CA - Hundreds of people gathered today in front of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, unified in efforts to save a sacred mountain in Arizona from desecration by a proposed ski resort development. The courts heard arguments against the ski resort's proposed expansion and plan to make snow out of treated sewage effluent. This wastewater has been proven to contain harmful contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, hormones and cancer causing agents.
"Just the thought of making snow with reclaimed sewer water on the San Francisco Peaks should be an affront to all people of conscience," said Howard Shanker of the Shanker Law Firm who represented the Navajo Nation, Havasupai, Yavapai Apache, White Mountain Apache, Sierra Club, and others. "The Peaks are sacred to 13 of the Tribes in the Southwestern United States. We are here because the lower court decision was wrong. We are hopeful that this will be a case where what the court determines to be legal is also right and morally defensible."
Tribal officials, including the President of the Navajo Nation, spiritual leaders, environmental activists and dozens of grassroots supporters traveled from throughout the country to join together with Native American communities and environmental groups from the Bay Area. The courtroom overflowed while outside colorful banners went up and numerous prayers were offered.
"This is a precedent setting case, which threatens to undermine Native American religious freedoms and environmental integrity." Said Rudy Preston of the Flagstaff Activist Network. "The significance of this case is shown through the unity of the plaintiffs made up of Indigenous Nations, environmental groups, and individual community members. This is not just an issue of indigenous rights violations, this is an extreme environmental and human rights crisis."
Representatives of the Navajo Nation, the Hopi Tribe, the Hualapai Tribe, Acoma, Yavapai Apache, the Sierra Club, Flagstaff Activist Network and the Save the Peaks Coalition spoke at a news conference immediately after the 9th Circuit Arguments.
Citing the importance of the San Francisco Peaks to his people, Joe Shirley Jr., the President of the Navajo Nation stated, "The world needs to know that we need to defend our way of life".
"I was very encouraged by what I saw and heard today, I think that the court seemed to understand the profound impact that this will have on the tribes that are involved, on their religions and on their religious practices." Said Jack Trope of DNA Legal Services.
"Many courts over the years have done the wrong thing on these issues, hopefully this is the court that is going to do the right thing"
"Sacred sites are the most holiest areas that our Indian people hold Sacred, it is the beginning of our way of life, these are places we go to communicate with our creator, San Francisco Peaks is one of those areas, just like Bear Butte in South Dakota, Medicine Lake in Northern California, or Mt. Shasta, or the Shell Mounds of the Ohlone." Said Jimbo Simmons of the San Francisco based International Indian Treaty Council. "Today these sites are threatened by developments that have no respect for our way of life, and our spirituality, and our natural way of life, we must continue to stand up for our beliefs. The spirit of the past will rise to claim the future, that's what we are doing today."

text: Facebook ( FB) will hog the headlines after the close with its third-quarter results. The average estimate is for earnings of 11 cents a share in the September-ended quarter on revenue of $1.23 billion from the social networking giant, whose shares closed Monday at $19.32, down 49% from its IPO pricing at $38 per share. Expectations are low after Zynga's ( ZNGA) warning earlier this month. JMP Securities felt the need to lower its price target and earnings estimates for Facebook on Friday but the firm kept its market outperform rating on the stock. "Our downward revisions are based on both ZNGA's pre-announced, lower than expected bookings as well as ComScore data, which showed that PC-based MAU growth is declining, making it all the more important for FB to accelerate its mobile ad initiatives," the firm said. "Despite the high level of negative sentiment, we believe that at $18.98 per share, FB's user-base and potential mobile, search, app exchange, and ad-network revenue opportunities are undervalued." Other companies reporting after the close include AFLAC ( AFL), Altera ( ALTR), Amgen ( AMGN), Annie's ( BNNY), Broadcom ( BRCM), Buffalo Wild Wings ( BWLD), Celestica ( CLS), Compuware ( CPWR), Gilead Sciences ( GILD), HanesBrands ( HBI), iRobot ( IRBT), Juniper Networks ( JNPR), Norfolk Southern ( NSC), Panera Bread ( PNRA), RF Micro Devices ( RFMD), Tempur-Pedic International ( TPX), Unisys ( UIS), and VMWare ( VMW). The economic calendar is empty once again on Tuesday. And finally, Yahoo! shares got a lift after the company delivered strong numbers and CEO Marissa Mayer presided over her first conference call, once again declining to provide guidance. For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Internet content and search company reported non-GAAP earnings excluding items of $177 million, or 35 cents a share, with revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs, or TAC, come in at $1.09 billion. The average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters was for a profit of 25 cents a share in the September-ended period on revenue of $1.08 billion. Shares of Yahoo! were last quoted at $16.47, up 4.4%, on volume of more than 3.6 million, according to Nasdaq.com. -- Written by Michael Baron in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Michael Baron.

The 22-year-old followed Rodgers from South Wales for £15million in the summer and settled straight into a first-team place. Recent performances have dipped slightly but the Reds boss has excused those and believes the Wales international will prove to be a key figure in the club's revival.
And Rodgers believes the imminent comeback of Lucas Leiva, who played an hour for the Under-21s on Friday after three months out with a thigh injury, will bring out the best in Allen.
"I think he's stepped up. Joe has come in and the biggest credit you can give him is the supporters have really taken to him," said the manager. "Normally it takes players time to adjust to Anfield and the size of this club and the transition has been fairly smooth.
"In the last couple of games he's not been at the level he would want to be but there are all sorts of reasons: he's been playing a lot and he's just become a father so he's had many sleepless nights.
"But he will be a revelation for the club. He's been terrific and I am sure that will continue over the next number of years."

Product Review (submitted on December 14, 2013):
I am allergic to casein so I did noy have to worry about this culture. I have only made one batch of yogurt since the vegan video was not working.I was pleased. I also accidentally mixed some of my probiotic caps with the mix which they say you should not do.
Anyway I was hoping to not use sugar but you do need sugar or honey for bacteria to work. I added anise and it tasted nice. I was also told that pectin worked better than agar or guar gum. I only added 1/2 teaspoon and next time I will add a tad more since there qas a little liquid in the bottom of the week old yogurt. They could have mailed this with an ice pack since it was so delicate- they don't . so I don't know if that made a difference.

Australia will push to host golf's fourth major, the US PGA championship, with the head of the sport in this country keen to push the case to the organisers of the tournament.
US PGA chief executive Pete Bevacqua set tongues wagging when he said his committee was looking at the pros and cons of taking the PGA Championship to an international location once or twice a decade.
Brian Thorburn, chief executive officer of the PGA of Australia, said he would love to host the tournament and would be bringing up the topic with Bevacqua when they are scheduled to meet in six weeks.
''Absolutely (we'd love to host the event in Australia),'' Thorburn said. ''We'll engage in discussions with them and put our best foot forward.
''We have the infrastructure here; we've hosted the Presidents Cup and the World Cup.
''And players love playing here. We currently have Dustin Johnson and Bo Van Pelt at the Perth International; Peter Fowler is in Queensland and Rory McIlroy will be in Sydney for the Australian Open.''
Thorburn said state government funding would be required for such an event to go ahead.
And he thought each state was able to put a golf course forward that would be capable of hosting the world's best players. ''Obviously it is up to the US PGA to consider the feasibility and if, strategically, it is a possibility,'' he said.
''The sandbelt courses [in Victoria] are the most well-known but there is also Royal Sydney, plus there are a few on the Gold Coast and Karrinyup is hosting the Perth International this week.''
The US PGA Championship will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2016 and is not able to consider a move until 2020. Television rights and venues have been locked in until 2019.
Thorburn thought there was a good chance of the US PGA deciding to move the tournament abroad.
He said that the NFL moving games to London and Major League Baseball playing the opening game of its 2014 season in Sydney showed the top sports in the US were thinking outside the box to remain competitive.
And he believed Australia could be in the box seat as it has shown that it is capable of hosting world-class events in the past, including the 2000 Olympic Games.

Caledonia Argus
Caledonia Superintendent Ben Barton introduced the district's annual report on curriculum, instruction and student achievement during the Sept. 23 School Board meeting. The document outlines the district's mission, goals, curriculum committee and policies and presents student achievement data – test results.
The lengthy document is required from all districts by the state, though the presentation format differs from district to district.
The document outlines Caledonia's results on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, commonly know as the MCA.
These tests were given to grades three through eight, 10 and 11 in the spring of 2013. The percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards for reading and math has remained fairly consistent since MCA testing began, the report states. However, the score required for meeting standards has increased over the past several years.
Some results of note include:
• The state average for meeting proficiency in math is 62.4 percent in grades three through eight. Caledonia sits at the 53.8 percent mark.
• In grade 11, Caledonia is at the 56 percent proficient mark in math, while the state is at 52.4 percent.
• In reading, Caledonia sits at the 55 percent mark, while the state saw a 57.8 percent proficient mark. But, as visible in the adjacent chart, each grade level has its own set of results with some classes exceeding the state average and others not.
• Also of note is the fact that Caledonia's ACT composite score is above the state average.
"That's pretty impressive because Minnesota is the highest scoring state in the nation on the ACT," Barton said.
The 21-page document contains roughly 20 charts comparing Caledonia to the state average and requires careful examination to get a clear picture of what is happening academically in the district. For that reason, Barton asked each board member to spend some time going over the report. He will further discuss the results at the October board meeting.
Barton said the report was also presented to the district's teachers at the beginning of the school year in an effort to focus energy on areas needing improvement.
The public can view the report in its entirety on the district's website at http://www.cps.k12.mn.us. Click on the "district" tab and then "Annual Report on Curriculum, Instruction and Student Achievement."

Juba - South Sudan's warring sides may have signed a ceasefire, but David Choul is not ready to leave the UN peacekeepers' base, to which he had fled when gunmen rampaged through his neighbourhood during the brutal conflict.
"I'm not leaving until I know I'll be safe outside, and I don't know when that will be," said Choul, who is one of 17 000 people who have squeezed into the former sports ground for safety.
Like him, other South Sudanese traumatised by the killings and other atrocities since fighting broke out on December 15 are waiting to see if the peace would indeed hold as pledged by political leaders.
"This morning... people have been busy queuing for the latrines, or to get clean water, or waiting for a cup of tea... no one I know is preparing to leave yet, they want to wait to see how things turn out," Choul said.
As news broke of Thursday's ceasefire deal, "everyone crowded around those with a radio, and while there was relief at the news, but it was not celebration," the 23-year-old student recounted.
"It is a good step, but how can you celebrate when you we are still too frightened to leave the camp?" he said, speaking by crackling telephone from inside the UN base. "We are still so worried."
The fighting that has seized the country for over a month has seen waves of brutal revenge attacks, as fighters and ethnic militia took the opportunity to loot and settle old scores.
Both the United Nations and rights workers have reported horrific atrocities committed by both sides.
The agreement, signed late on Thursday in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa by representatives of President Salva Kiir and rebel delegates loyal to ousted vice president Riek Machar, was greeted by cheers from regional peace brokers and diplomats.
In the camps where South Sudanese are still hiding, the reaction was more muted.
Over 67 000 people are sheltering inside UN bases across South Sudan, fearing they will be killed if they leave, while more than half a million people have been forced from their homes.
Aid workers and analysts believe up to 10 000 people have died.
On the dusty streets of Juba - where daily life in many districts appears largely to be returning to normal - residents were also cautiously optimistic about the agreement.
"This (the ceasefire) is what we want and what we have been praying for," said Mary Konga, a 43-year old lady selling vegetables in Juba's Munuki district. "We still pray that total peace comes to our country, we are tired of suffering."
Others were more sceptical, saying they would wait to see if it was implemented.
"We want peace, but we want to see also the implementation of it as agreed by the two parties," said Wani Edward, a builder.
In the impoverished settlement of Minkammen, some 200 kilometres north of Juba, teacher Simon Thon said that the news had been received with relief.
Minkammen, a once-tiny riverbank settlement of a few thatch huts, has swollen by about 80 000 people, who fled from fighting in the key town of Bor, risking their lives to make the dangerous crossing across the White Nile river to escape rebel attacks.
"It is good news, but people are still waiting for what it really means," said Simon Thon, who fled after rebels stormed Bor, shooting those residents who ran and using machetes or spears on those they caught.
"We need it to really end the fighting, and for that we must pray that everyone obeys," he added, speaking by telephone.
Thon fled with his family including his heavily pregnant wife, who has since given birth to a son, born beneath a tree in the camp.
"Things are calm here, but people are still very, very frightened," he added. "There is no way people can just go back home and forget what happened." - AFP

The Hellschreiber or Feldhellschreiber was a facsimile-based teleprinter invented by Rudolf Hell. It has since been emulated on computer sound cards by amateur radio operators; the resulting mode is referred to as Hellschreiber, Feld-Hell, or simply Hell. "Hellschreiber" translates into English as "Light Writer," "Bright Writer," or "Clear Writer," and is a pun on the name of its inventor (Hell (the adjective) is German for "light," the adverb is "bright.")

A young man given just 6 months to live spent his dying days making his girlfriend happy - starting with marrying her.
In April 2013, Chris Price, was given the devastating news that his cancer, which he had beaten the year before, had returned - and this time it was terminal.
'If my love could have saved him, he would have lived forever,'
Proposing to long-term girlfriend Ceri, 29, shortly after, the pair were wed in front of friends and family in August.
He then took his new wife and her four children to Dineyland Paris, before whisking Ceri away for a romantic weekend in New York.
Ceri pictured on her wedding day
Speaking of her husband, who died last month in her arms, Ceri said: 'It was as if Chris wanted to spend his last days making me as happy as he could.'
'He was so positive that he never talked about dying, he just wanted to see me and the children happy.'
'We had the most magical time and I will savour those memories forever.'
'We had the most magical time and I will savour those memories forever.'
Chris was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in April 2012 and was given the all clear, but a later scan revealed the cancer had spread to his liver and lungs.
'If my love could have saved him, he would have lived forever,' Ceri said.
'We packed so much into the short time we had together.'
'My heart is broken losing him and I still spray his Aramis aftershave and wear his clothes to feel close to him.'
'All he ever did was show everyone he met love. I miss him every moment of every day.'

House Of Representatives Passes Ban On Abortion After 20 Weeks
Yesterday, the Republican-dominated House of Representatives advanced a so-called "fetal pain" bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Fortunately, it is not expected to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Obama would veto the bill. Thus, the bill is largely symbolic.
The Orwellian-worded bill called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is based on the idea, unsupported by the medical community, that fetuses can feel pain (and pleasure! They like to masturbate!) after 20 weeks. Numerous other bills have cropped up around the country, from Minnesota to Indiana to Texas, based on the same idea.
Not surprisingly, Republicans have a renewed vigor for "fetal pain" bills after the trial of Kermit Gosnell, a doctor who was found to have been killing babies in botched abortions — ironically, because the women who went to his inexpensive, illegally-run clinic were unable to obtain safer, earlier abortions. The House bill is sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ), who made headlines last week for saying that pregnancy from rape is rare.
The nationwide bill includes an exemption to protect the life (but not health) of the mother and in cases of rape and incest, but only so long as the sexual assault has been reported to authorities. As reported by Mother Jones, the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds from paying for abortions, doesn't even require women or girls to report to authorities they have been raped in order to obtain an abortion.
Abortions after 20 weeks account for only 1.4 percent of all abortions. The vast majority of abortions take place in the first trimester. Many late-term abortions are actually wanted pregnancies in which fetal abnormalities were not revealed until later in the pregnancy.

We left the hotel at 7:15 in order to make the 8 am bus to Kuala Lumpur. This time the girls had also been assigned a room in Sri Emas as well, so we met downstairs in the lobby. Unfortunately, when the ticket window at the bus station opened around 7:30, they informed us that there were no longer four tickets to be had on the early bus and that we would need to catch the 10 am bus instead. This gave us a chance to have a nice leisurely breakfast at a restaurant which abutted the bus yard and then to wander around downtown Jerantut a bit, something that we had not really done very much. Since we were not about to carry our luggage around with us, we took shifts keeping an eye on it while the other three people explored town. Becky got first watch and Zach soon headed off by himself while Ade and I walked to a Buddhist temple that was on a hill overlooking downtown. Ade, being out religious studies representative, was most interested in visiting the local places of worship. I had designed the trip to consist of two roughly equal parts- the first of which I termed "Welcome to the Jungle," and the second of which I called "Serenity Now." With our jungle adventures now at an end, it was time to focus more on the spiritual locales of Southeast Asia. The temple clearly had some Chinese influences- it was brightly colored and had Chinese lanterns hanging from the eves of one of its buildings. There was also a statue of Guan-yin, the bodhisattva known as the Goddess of Mercy, in a prominent position overlooking the steps which led up to the temple complex. After leaving the temple, we found ourselves amidst the stalls of the busy Jerantut marketplace, which seemed to be offering up just about anything for sale. Since we were down to less than a dollar's worth of ringgits by that time, I wasn't particularly interested in shopping, so I went to relieve Becky on luggage watch so she could wander around the markets with Ade.
We pulled out of Jerantut at 10, heading in the opposite direction of Taman Negara. The bus left a little to be desired in that its suspension seemed to be completely shot. Although it was fine looking on the outside- as it moved along the road the bus chassis bobbed back and forth, back and forth. Every time the bus would turn, stop, or start again, this movement was even more pronounced as we would lurch in a particualar direction. We stopped in Temerloh, a town of 150,000 about halfway to K.L., for about 20 minutes, but by 1 pm we found ourselves at the main bus station in K.L. Our first order of business was to find a money changer, which we did without any difficulty. Once we were back in the money, we were able to afford the $3 cab fare to Chinatown. Wheelers Guest House was in an excellent location in K.L., if not a bit of a strange one. To get into the hostel, one had to squeeze past a food kiosk and climb a set of stairs that looked like they belonged in one of the "Saw" movies. Surprisingly, a few flights up the stairwell it became tastefully decorated in a Chinese theme and soon a set of large aquarium tanks became visible through a doorway. We checked into our sparsely furnished room and then immediately left for the Batu Caves.
If there was one thing that I wanted to see in K.L., it was the Hindu temples which were built within a large cavern just north of town. We had a nice lunch in Chinatown before walking to the K.L. train station and boarding a "Komuter" train to the caves. The 20-minute train ride was quite pleasant-the Komuter line was much nicer than the intercity train that we had been on- with plush seats and robust air conditioning. By 3 pm we found ourselves at the entrance to the Batu Caves. The entrance is not difficult to find as it has a 140 foot tall statue of Lord Murugan, reportedly the largest in the world, standing besides the 272 steps which lead up to the cave mouth. It is unclear exactly how many statues of Murugan were in the running for this designation, but the golden statue is impressive nonetheless. The caves themselves, in additional to the whole area leading up to them from the train station, was inhabited by troops of monkeys. We tried not to seem too threatening to the monkeys as we wandered past them. Some people were feeding them bananas, which certainly got their attention. The centermost part of the caves, the Cathedral Cave, is at the bottom of a cave shaft that extends upwards for over 300 feet. We could see monkeys climbing the sheer sides of the shaft hundreds of feet above us as they inched toward the circle of sunlight. We visited the various temples and shrines that were found in the caves and then spent some time in a temple which was just at the foot of the very long staircase.
On the train ride back to the city, we decided to get off at the main train station in town, K.L. Sentral. We wanted to scope out the station some since we had to return the following afternoon to catch our intercity train back to Singapore. Outside the station, we wandered around until we found ourselves in Little India. The girls wanted to shop for harem pants in the surrounding shops, so Zach and I explored the area together. During this time, we scouted out a restaurant that looked like it served authentic Indian food. Later, when we had led the girls there, we found out how authentic it really was. "Do you have any menus?" we asked our waiter. He indicated that he did not. "Can you tell us what you have to eat?" we asked. Our waiter couldn't really do that either- he spoke little to no English. He then went on to describe some thing to us in a language we could not identify to which I replied, "Sure- I'll have that." Becky asked if he had chapati and beans- he seemed to understand that, while Zach and Ade asked for fried rice. I think I ended up with a kati roll, I'm not quite sure.
It was raining when we finished eating so we dropped another $3 on a taxi ride to our hostel. The rooms did not have windows that opened to the outside, only out to the hallway which formed the shape of a U behind the front desk. Luckily, we had oscillating fans in the rooms to bring some of the cooler air from the hallway into our somewhat stuffy rooms. I flopped down on my bed and went right to sleep.

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
This module backports the pluggable and secure hashing from Drupal 7 to use with Drupal 6.
But wait you say! How is this module different from the Secure Password Hashes (phpass) you ask? There are a few major functional and architectural differences between these two projects:
- It includes the default password.inc file used in Drupal 7. This file can also be easily swapped out using $conf['password_inc']. As such the module is designed to make porting your site to Drupal 7 easier.
- The module can be disabled at any time without any side effects. To disable the Secure Password Hashes module without requiring all users to request new passwords, you have to first disable the secure hashes, and then all users have to login at least once.
- The module doesn't actually remove the md5 hashes from the database.
- Because the module provides a pluggable password.inc, it can also be used for painless user logins when migrating to Drupal from another CMS which hashes its passwords not using simple MD5().
New 2.x branch
The 2.x branch of Password module will no longer keep MD5 password hashes in the {users} table. The module now stores the secure hashes directly in {users}.pass using the same secure hashing method used in Drupal 7.
The upgrade path for this may not quite work properly, so make backups and use at your own risk until 6.x-2.0 officially is released.
Please also help review any remaining core issues about password.inc.
I'm also debating back-porting the improvements to login flood protection.
