The Effect of Age at School Entry on Educational Attainment: An Application of Instrumental Variables with Moments from Two Samples
This paper tests the hypothesis that compulsory school attendance laws, which typically require school attendance until a specified birthday, induce a relationship between the years of schooling and age at school entry. Variation in school start age created by children's date of birth provides a natural experiment for estimation of the effect of age at school entry. Because no large data set contains information on both age at school entry and educational attainment, we use an Instrumental Variables (IV) estimator with data derived from the 1960 and 1980 Censuses to test the age-at-entry/compulsory schooling model. In most IV applications, the two covariance matrices that form the estimator are constructed from the same sample. We use a method of moments framework to discuss IV estimators that combine moments from different data sets. In our application, quarter of birth dummies are the instrumental variables used to link the 1960 Census, from which age at school entry can be derived for one cohort of students, to the 1980 Census, which contains educational attainment for the same cohort of students. The results suggest that roughly 10 percent of students were constrained to stay in school by compulsory schooling laws.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Gary Cliffer, Cancer Fighter
Review for Gateway for Cancer Research, Schaumburg, IL, USA
I joined Cancer Treatment Centers of America as an Oncology Information Specialist in June 2009. I had the privilege of meeting Lynette Bisconti, the President of Gateway for Cancer Research. She explained that she is a cancer survivor and passionate advocate of patient-centered cancer research that offers new and innovative treatment options to cancer patients as quickly as possible. Gateway focuses on cancer research that can have an impact on cancer patients today as well as 10 years down the road. The type of research they fund bridges the gap between the laboratory and other larger studies, keeping cancer research progressing toward a cure.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
kind-hearted individuals who identify and pursue new and promising clinical studies and progressive treatments leveraging cutting edge medical technologies and practices.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
significantly contribute vital information in the search for a cure to all types of cancer and continue to impact patients immediately.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Associated Press
SOCHI, RUSSIA — Russia's cupboard was so bare of world-class female figure skaters that the sport's most dominant nation had to turn to the kids a few years ago.
Among those youngsters was Adelina Sotnikova, who won a national championship in 2009, when she was just 12.
She was too young to compete at the 2010 Olympics. When she finally got to the Games this year, she was overshadowed by an even younger teammate. But on Thursday night, the 17-year-old Sotnikova looked comfortable and unburdened by the pressure of the host nation, becoming Russia's first gold medalist in women's Olympic figure skating.
In the signature moment of the Games for Russians, Sotnikova defeated defending champion Yuna Kim of South Korea. Both women skated nearly flawless programs, but Sotnikova completed one more decisive triple jump.
"I first dreamed to be at the Olympics after the nationals in 2010," Sotnikova said. "And when I watched the Games in Vancouver, I really wanted to qualify for the next Games. I knew it won't be easy. There are so many new talented girls around."
Well, not really in Russia. Not until Sotnikova and 15-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia developed into junior world champions.
And while much-heralded Lipnitskaia was stumbling in Sochi, Sotnikova soared. When she won the free skate, she further confirmed Russian command of the sport.
"This is the happiest day in my life," Sotnikova said. "I simply stepped on the ice today and realized how much I like what I'm doing and skated really good."
The Russians have won three figure skating gold medals at these Olympics: women's, pairs and team.
Sotnikova did not skate in the team event, and that provided incentive for her in the individual competition.
"When I found out that I was not in the team, it was hurtful. I felt ugly inside," she said. "Maybe it is all for the best — an advantage for me to make me so mad."
Sotnikova was considered a long shot against the likes of Kim, who announced her retirement after the free skate; Italy's Carolina Kostner, who took bronze; Japan's Mao Asada; and even Americans Gracie Gold and Ashley Wagner.
But she won it all, giving Russia or the Soviet Union 27 Olympic gold medals in the sport. They own five men's golds, 13 in pairs, seven in ice dance, and took the first team event this year.
"It's the Olympics. And it was a long way for me," Sotnikova said. "To compete at the Olympic Games, I dreamed of any medal, but frankly speaking, I wanted a gold one."
Lipnitskaia was fifth.
Asada was third in the free skate after finishing 16th in Wednesday's short program and wound up sixth.
Sotnikova trailed Kim by just .28 going into Thursday, and she overcame that by winning the free skate 149.95 to Kim's 144.19. The final totals were 224.59 for Sotnikova, 219.11 for Kim and 216.73 for Kostner.
Skating last, Kim needed a repeat of her Vancouver performance to hold onto the gold. She nailed six triple jumps, one less than Sotnikova, and Kim's artistry couldn't make up the difference.
"At that time I could die for gold in the Olympics," she said of 2010. "But that desire, that strong wish, was not as present. The motivation was a problem, I think."
Gold finished fourth, Wagner seventh and 15-year-old American Polina Edmunds ninth.

CRESSY bowler John Nelson has completed a fairytale run to win his first champion of champions singles title.
Nelson scored two shots on the last end of yesterday's final against Simpson's Peter Campbell to secure a 26-17 victory.
The Division Two Cressy bowler held his nerve as Campbell failed to peg back a nine-shot lead Nelson established halfway through the final at Colac Bowling Club.
Campbell attempted to mount a late fight back taking two shots in the second last end to bring the margin back to seven.
But Nelson's steady bowling in the final end proved too much for Campbell and the six-time Champion of Champions winner congratulated Corangamite men's bowls new top player.
Nelson, who had made the semi-final stage of the Champion of Champions in 2010, said he knew the final would be a tough challenge.
"I basically had nothing to lose I suppose coming into it from a second division sort of thing," he said.
"He's a performed bowler having won it six timesm so I just went in there and started bowling and started to get a few close and I sort of managed to hold him off."
Nelson said he rarely felt comfortable against his seasoned Simpson opponent.
"I knew he'd come back of course and from a couple of the other games he'd had he was well down and came back and beat them," he said.
"I had to sort of try and stick in there and keep getting a close one or two; it certainly was nice to win."
Earlier, Nelson had accounted for Camperdown Division One bowler Geoff Roney in his semi-final while Campbell beat Colac's John Lee.
Nelson will compete against Western and Far Western men's champions at regional singles finals later this month.

50,000 single parent families live in poverty
The number of poverty-stricken single-parent families in Northern Ireland is at an all-time high, shock new statistics reveal today.
Indeed, the figures obtained by the Belfast Telegraph suggest that over 50,000 such families are finding themselves close to or on the breadline, due to among other things spiralling grocery costs.
Gingerbread NI, the organisation for lone parents, warns that with a 15% increase in staple food prices over the past 12 months, that figure is likely to get worse.
Charity director Marie Cavanagh confirmed that of the 92,000 one-parent families in the province, a staggering 70% (50,400) of them are believed to be living in poverty.
"It stands to reason that lone parent living on low or minimum incomes and only receiving 2€3% year-on-year increases in income will find it impossible to meet what is in some cases a 15% increase in the cost of staples such as bread, milk without plunging deeper into poverty," said Ms Cavanagh.
"This is likely to compound the issue of child poverty in Northern Ireland rather than contribute to its eradication by 2020, the target set by the Northern Ireland Assembly."
New research carried out by MySupermarket.co.uk, based on 24 staple products, shows that the price of an average shopping basket has risen by 15% at Asda, 10% at Sainsbury's and 8% at Tesco, over the last 12 months.
Many of the price increases are uniform across the three retail giants in Northern Ireland and apply to basic commodities making it impossible for shoppers to seek out better deals.
Ms Cavanagh said the disparity between the fast rising cost of food and the comparatively small increase in wages means a tenuous existence for those who are already struggling to make ends meet.
"If you look at the price of essential items, which have increased considerably over the last year, that is going to have a disproportionate impact on those low incomes," she said.
High levels of child poverty in the UK have been linked to the increasing number of children growing up in jobless households headed by a lone-parent (Hirsch, 2006).

text: Myself and a couple of buddies are planning a trip to . . . well, let's just say somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Somewhere deep in the mostly unexplored forests of that area, where my next trophy awaits . . . a sasquatch. Yep, I'm gonna bag Bigfoot. Some taxidermist is gonna have a good month. There is a difference of opinion among my friends and myself as to what is the proper caliber and gun for a Bigfoot? Do I load up a feeder with beef jerky and set up in a blind and wait for old' 'squach to show up, or I injun up and track him through the woods, searching for big feet prints and large piles of primate scat? Bigfoot is . . .well, big. And fast. Do I need a weapon that's heavy and powerful, or compact and quick? I'm giving serious thought to a Marlin lever action in 45-70. As the woods are dark and dense, I doubt I'll get a shot in at over 75 yards, and at that range the 45-70 should have as much knockdown power as just about any other caliber around, yet it is a relatively light and compact weapon. One of my buddies is scoffing at me for considering using such and outdated weapon, and maintains that an AR-15 is a better choice, due to the fact it has a higher ammo capacity and can be fired quicker than the heavy caliber lever action. Another likes the lever action idea, but maintains that a 30-30 is sufficiently powerful to take down a squach, and the lighter recoil will mean that it'll be faster to get back on target for subsequent shots. Still another maintains that all he's taking is his 9mm Glock, as modern ammo has made the 9mm capable of killing anything that walks on the North American continent. Besides the Marlin 45-70, I'm also considering a Savage 99 in .300 Savage. The gun is relative lightweight, moderate recoil, yet a caliber that comes almost equals the 30-06 in performance. Anybody out there have any experience with Bigfoot hunting and can give me some tips?

I ordered replacement windshield wipers for my Volkswagen GTI. The price was much better than local auto parts stores, and my parts arrived two days later in their original packaging and protected by bubble-wrap. What can I say? It was a simple order but they nailed it. It was my first time ordering from Parts Geek and I would definitely do it again.

| This article is about shipping.
As hints and evidence for ships are mostly speculation, this page may contain personal points of view.
OrangeShipping (Japanese; ケンカス KenKasu) is the belief in a romantic relationship between Misty and Tracey.
Misty and Tracey first met in The Lost Lapras. Tracey is a vocal fan of Professor Oak, and after realizing that Ash knows him quite well, decides to join the group in the hopes of meeting his idol. At first, Misty didn't like the thought of a complete stranger simply inviting himself to their group, but soon they develop a great friendship while traveling the Orange Islands.
There are many who will contend that the Orange Islands (the only series at present in which Tracey was part of the main cast) was more suggestive to a romantic relationship between Ash and Misty, and will state that Tracey even hinted at the relationship itself. Other people believe differently. When Ash finishes the Orange League, the group returns to his house. Here, they reunite with Brock, and Tracey stays with Professor Oak as Ash, Misty and Brock travel the Johto League.
Misty and Tracey only meet again after the Johto League, when she receives word that she needs to return home to the Cerulean Gym. Though no longer traveling in the main cast, there are a series of side-episodes called Hosos which give details about Misty's activities as a Gym Leader. With Tracey and Misty now being allowed to interact with each other much more easily due to proximity, their friendship has been allowed to grow, and it is these episodes which many shippers will use to argue the plausibility of a romantic relationship developing between them.
Misty's hints
- Misty seemed annoyed, even jealous, that Tracey was drawing pictures of the Mikan Island Gym leader, Cissy.
- Misty comments how much Tracey knows about Pokémon and then tells Ash, "He knows a lot more than you do." In an almost jealous reaction, Ash confronts the Rhyhorn that Tracey was watching which makes it angry. Misty took shelter in Tracey's arms when the Rhyhorn threatened to charge them and Ash off a cliff.
- Misty warns Tracey to be careful when he decides to alert Officer Jenny about the Lapras poachers.
- Tracey announces that he is going to stay in Pallet Town and become Professor Oak's assistant. Misty is happy for him but also wished that he would come with her to the Johto region.
- After Misty receives a letter from Georgio, she states she would like Tracey to come with her so she would feel more safe. However, Daisy stated that Misty couldn't go anywhere because she needed to do her chores. Misty then asks Tracey nicely if he could do her chores for her and that Casey would accompany her. Later on the episode, in the Japanese version, Misty turns down Georgio's request to be his girlfriend saying, "There's someone else..." However, other Shippers argue that it is a reference to Ash, Brock or another character.
Tracey's hints
- For the first time ever, Tracey witnesses Misty battling against another trainer. Misty's battling skills leave a very good impression on Tracey.
- Tracey expresses concern about Misty when she gets kidnapped by the so-called "sewer monster".
- Misty is flattered by all the attention Rudy gives to her. When Rudy invites Misty to dinner, Tracey is somewhat disappointed that she would rather leave with Rudy than spend time with him and Ash.
- Tracey offers Misty some cocoa after he notices how tired she was. This goes to show that he watches out for her.
- Tracey doesn't want Misty to engage in a battle to put out the fire in the warehouse. Obviously, it's because he is afraid she would get hurt. Later on in the episode, a second fire starts and Misty offers to go and help fight it. Tracey then lends her his Scyther and Marill to help out.
- The group is offered to stay in Luana's hotel until Ash is ready for his gym battle. Tracey then comments, "This works out perfectly. Ash can have his battle and we can have a good time." By "we" he could have meant himself and Misty.
- Tracey expresses his sincere thanks to Misty for helping him and Ash recover from the Stun Spore.
- Misty asks Tracey to do her chores for her so that she could confront the person who wrote the letter she received. Tracey, not being able to say no to her, agrees.
- Misty's Azurill is introduced. Misty explains that Tracey gave it to her when it was an egg. This pertains to the fact that Tracey's Marill is the parent of Misty's Azurill.This hint remains the strongest one to this day.
- When Misty tells Melody that Ash isn't her boyfriend before she runs ahead, Tracey runs up soon after, asking if Misty was talking about him.
Other hints
- Tracey has spent more time with Misty then he did with Ash despite being categorized as one of his friends. Tracey is also the only one of Ash's friends to spend more time with another member of Ash's group than with Ash. The only other exception would be May and Max who are siblings.
- A Way Off Day Off
- Tracey's Marill and Misty's Togepi play together. They are first seen playing in the ocean. Later on, Marill lets Togepi play with its tail.
- Sakura mistakes Tracey as Misty's boyfriend. In another episode, A Date With Delcatty, Casey makes the same mistake.
- Daisy would like Tracey to play the prince in her water ballet. The prince is the object of affection for Misty's character, the mermaid. There is even a scene in Daisy's fantasy of Misty and Tracey as their characters holding hands with hearts dancing around them.
- Misty and Tracey are in almost every scene together. At the end of the episode, Misty and Tracey use Azurill and Marill (respectively), together to attack Team Rocket with Water Gun.
- They are the only main protagonists never to have their parents revealed.
- They are the only two of Ash's friends whose debut episode didn't really focus around them.
- Misty and Tracey were the only two characters to own Generation II Pokémon prior to the Johto league saga.
- Both are avid fans of Prima as seen in The Mandarin Island Miss-Match.
- While Tracey seems to have a love for Template:Type2 Pokémon, as seen in Tracey Gets Bugged, Misty has a morbid fear of them.
- In the dubbed version of Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing, the narrator notably shoots down the possibility of OrangeShipping. When mentioning that love was in the air, he states afterword, "No, it's not between Misty and Tracey." None of this was ever mentioned in the original version. Some fans see this as proof the of dub's preference for PokéShipping and that it may have considered OrangeShipping a threat.
Alternate names
- OrangeIslandShipping - identical to its original name, but with Island added in.
|This article is part of Project Shipping, a Bulbapedia project that aims to write comprehensive articles on each couple in Pokémon.

Certain musicians change their sound to capitalize on trends and curry mainstream favor. How else to explain Ethel Merman's 1979 disco album, which featured the senior citizen hustle-fying standards such as "There's No Business Like Show Business"? Or what about the Psychedelic Furs' post-"Pretty in Pink" foray into pseudo-tough-guy feathered hair and slick synth pop on 1987's Midnight to Midnight?
On the other hand, there are arena-sized bands -- R.E.M. and U2 are two -- whose experimentation led directly to commercial success (though neither of those groups compromised its sound). Consider the lovable lads in Snow Patrol firmly embedded in the latter category, three albums into their career and earning overdue critical and commercial acclaim with their latest, The Final Straw.
"To be on Top of the Pops," guitarist Mark McClelland begins in his light Irish brogue. "To be on the Saturday-morning kids' TV shows where you've always just shouted at the TV over the past couple of years, 'What is this rubbish that they're forcing down people's throats?' And finally, for us not to have changed our game in any way, not to have tried to write a commercial album, but for it to be a commercial success with us still doing what we were trying to do from the outset -- we never thought it was going to happen. Something must have changed in the UK's water supply."
Snow Patrol appears with Eisley
Meridian, 1503 Chartres

McClelland is being typically modest. Snow Patrol did make some changes when recording Straw. Besides signing to a major label, the quartet added a second guitarist (ex-HMV minion Nathan Connolly), worked with producer Garret Lee and brought noted mixing guru Chris Lord-Alge aboard to spit-shine its tunes. The resulting disc streamlines the muscular twee of the band's previous albums without losing its shambling indie charms and penchant for joyful noise.
Tar-sticky hooks on the vaguely new-wave "Spitting Games" whirl like a merry-go-round as the song details the paralysis of unrequited love ("I'm far too shy to speak to you at school / You leave me numb, and I'm not sure why"), and "Run" is the type of epic, weepy ballad that sends concertgoers scrambling for their lighters.
Elsewhere, the turbulent string and guitar somersaults of "Ways and Means" crackle with the claustrophobia of being trapped in a relationship ("If I put my back into it / I can leave you if I wanted / But there's nowhere else that I can go"). The band's grimy, distorted riffs and vocalist Gary Lightbody's Lou Barlowesque earnestness on cuts such as "Tiny Little Fractures" and "Wow" ensure that the band lives up to the nickname bestowed upon them in the UK: Snowbadoh.
"We were just delighted to make another record," McClelland says. "We really wanted to make a record that people were going to listen to for a long time, for many years, and also for it to be the sort of music that we like to listen to and nobody else was making. God -- when we were making the record, we just wanted to make the best record we could possibly make something to be remembered by, really."
Before Straw, the band was well on its way to being doomed to the type of indie obscurity reserved for critical darlings who barely sell enough discs to buy ramen. McClelland and Lightbody met at Dundee University in Scotland in 1994. Along with drummer Johnny Quinn, they released their debut, Songs for Polar Bears, in 1998. When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up followed three years later -- after which the band split from its label, Jeepster. Demos of Straw led to a major-label deal and, finally, mainstream notoriety.
More surprising than UK fame, though, is that "Spitting Games" and "Run" have found popularity in the United States, a country recently liberated from nü-metal's clutches and open again to sensitive types, despite a historical reluctance to roll out the welcome wagon for new UK acts. McClelland appreciates the challenge America represents.
"There's an element of proving ourselves over again, but we actually like that," he says. "It's nice to get up on stage and know that if you don't play well, it's not automatically going to go well. You have to get up and fight for your dignity under these crowds that have never seen you before. Generally, the first couple of songs there was a mild interest -- growing to definite interest and smiling, clapping, dancing about, jumping up and down by the end of it."
This assessment nails why Snow Patrol is finally resonating with a larger audience. Although many Straw songs are soaked in melancholy and weighed down by hopeless love and failing relationships, underneath the layers of darkness is a persistent optimism that refuses to die. Still, McClelland is wary of questioning what people find magical about Straw.

"It's something I don't really want to understand, in case we become conceited and try and work to formula and anything like that," he says. "We really try and keep our heads out of the way as much as possible when we're recording and writing music, not think about what we're doing or how it fits into the overall picture. Just to see if it makes our heart skip or not.
"We've tried not to learn any of the rules of music. None of us are even in any way trained. We're all self-taught. We actually try and close our ears whenever anyone explains stuff to us. 'Well, it's in the chord of G, that song.' Is it? I didn't want to know that," He laughs. "I know I play G sometimes, and that makes sense, but I don't understand why."
Nor does he need to, given Snow Patrol's ascent.
"I suppose we should feel vindicated in a way, because we've been going for so long with so little interest with only critical acclaim," McClelland says. "But we always really believed in it, and we were pigheaded and stubborn about it and kept going and didn't listen to any of the bad stuff people said about us. It's nice to not have to justify yourself anymore. Everything's been pretty crazy, the way it's taken off. We're just struggling to hold on, really. The bus has left, and thankfully, we're on it."

Firefox 12 will be able to bypass UAC and possibly corporate security settings
Subject: General Tech | April 24, 2012 - 01:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: UAC, security, firefox
One of the causes of the adoption of Google's Chrome browser in the workplace is that for the most part, since it installs under your user directory it can bypass the limited permissions on most business computers, letting the user install something without consulting IT. This is a minor security concern as Chrome runs with limited permissions and is certainly not more inherently vulnerable than the old corporate standby, IE6.
According to The Inquirer Firefox will be starting to do something similar but with larger repercussions. FireFox 12 will be whitelisted on UAC, allowing system level access to the program. While this does mean that if they are successful users will be running up to date software and not require IT resources to upgrade FireFox every month or so, it also introduces a powerful attack vector for infections. A silent FireFox update might not be from Mozilla and could instead be from malware online, creating a system vulnerability that the user is completely unaware of until obvious symptoms start to show, by which time it could be too late to stop the spread of an infection to the network or to clients machines. The update is due out today, so keep a close eye on your FireFox installation for now.
"SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Mozilla will bypass Windows' user account control (UAC) to implement silent updating in its Firefox 12 web browser.
Mozilla's Firefox 12 is expected to be released today, and the outfit claims it will bypass Windows UAC in order to enable silent updating. Since Mozilla put Firefox on its rapid release schedule, it has put out new versions of the web browser every six weeks, leading some users to complain about the number of releases."

This is why firefox is not widely in the enterprise at all.
Most of the time its banned completely.
I think it would have been better if you just got the option to turn it off by way of a message at setup say why they thing it should be off.
Hmm, I don't think that it's very smart to white-list Firefox in UAC. I also don't see why you would need to, it works just fine. Sure, Firefox might be slightly annoying to update but it is more secure that way. Chrome's silent updates are nice but I still use Firefox just as much due to its more powerful extensions that Chrome could never have.
Sorry, but this is complete nonsense. There's no such thing as white-listing in UAC. The news on the Inquirer must have been written by a dumb intern, as Windows UAC simply does not offer any such functionality. And Firefox itself will never get system privileges.
Instead, Mozilla introduces a seperate component implemented as a Windows service, which is a pretty safe way of handling this problem. When Firefox wants to update itself, it asks the OS to start this service, and the OS executes the service with system privileges. The service then installs the update, and digital signatures prevent it from installing any other stuff like malware.
Also, this new service is obviously optional. You can disable it, and you can even uninstall it completely. If you do that, Firefox will update non-silently as it used to. And in enterprise environments, you wouldn't allow it to update itself anyway.
Thank you for clarification!
Thanks for the clarifications, that is one of the problems with reporting on something before you can get your hands on it. Whitelist might not have been the best term to use, perhaps planned exploit of buggy UAC permissions?
Very glad to see it is optional ... I hadn't had time to try it until this morning.
Oh dear. You really need to get off that UAC horse.
The Mozilla maintenance service, as it is called, has nothing to do with UAC. It doesn't bypass or exploit UAC, it doesn't tamper with UAC, and it doesn't even care whether UAC is enabled or - remember Windows XP? - existant on your version of Windows. It simply allows you to perform Firefox updates without having admin rights, even on XP.
People just generally seem to muddle things up. For many, UAC has become synonymous with the mere concept of user privileges in a multi-user OS, probably because they never used standard user accounts, neither in Windows nor something other than Windows. Then, when they discover that some privileged operation can work without triggering a UAC prompt, they believe UAC must have somehow been bypassed or tricked.
But there is no trick, and there is no glaring security problem either. In fact, the same mechanism is used by Microsoft itself for Windows Update. If you set Windows to update automatically, it will do so in the background by running a service. Without prompting for admin privileges.
I may well be wrong, in fact I hope I am ... I just don't think this is going to be a great idea for security in an enterprise environment.
I must admit I don't fully grasp exactly how it is that Firefox is going to write to a folder which the logged in user does not have write privileges to without it doing something dodgy with those privileges. I haven't had a chance to fully research this yet, but since it seems to be generating interest (and conversation) I think I probably should look more into it.
Session 0 ... aha, I understand now.
Not really. Session separation is a security mechanism introduced with Vista, but it's not relevant to understanding service basics, and not relevant to this discussion. If you want to know more about services, go there: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms685141%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
During a background update, Firefox does NOT write to its installation folder. To be more precise, the firefox.exe process does not write there. It doesn't have the privileges to do that.
When you update to Firefox 12, the update installs a system service called maintenanceservice.exe. The service is configured to run with system privileges, so it can write to the installation folder. In theory, any unprivileged program can make this service run. But if its code is written properly - and I assume that it is - it won't ever do anything else than installing Mozilla-signed update packages. Therefore, you have a working security boundary, and no privilege escalation.
Your worries regarding the enterprise usage of Firefox are also misguided. Enterprise admins are not going to deploy this service anyway.
Hate to be a jerk, but it seriously bothers me that you would publish an article with statements like "I haven't had a chance to fully research this yet."
You very obviously don't understand how Firefox is actually doing this. At the very least add an "Update:" to your article, so you aren't leading people astray. Not everyone reads the comments below.
It appears you just wanted to pump out an article before having any sort of idea how it works.
Well, since the "I still haven't fully tested it" line comes in the comments and not the article they'd already have to be reading the comments in order to see that.
As for testing ... yes I am planning on doing it however there is no way to approach the head of IT and ask to roll out FireFox 12 on the network so I can publish an article about it. Rolling it out for testing to the web crew on the other hand will eventually happen.
I do hope to update this once I have new information on how maintenanceservice.exe interacts with a secured PC but until then you are going to have to wait.

Performance to celebrate book documenting traditional folk music
May 22, 2013Print

- Art Rosenbaum
Athens, Ga. - Traditional ballads and fiddle tunes will be heard at the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries on the University of Georgia campus June 15 to celebrate the recently released book "Mary Lomax Ballad Book-America's Great 21st Century Ballad Singer" by Art Rosenbaum.
Singers and sisters Mary Lomax and Bonnie Loggins will perform a set of traditional ballads at 3 p.m. in the auditorium. Also performing will be Loggins' son, Casey, and nonagenarian fiddler Roy Tench, who grew up as a neighbor to the sisters.
The sisters learned the traditional ballads from their father, Lemuel Payne, who sang for his family in the evenings on his farm in the Mud Creek section of Habersham County. Payne had a large repertoire of traditional songs that had been passed down orally through generations. His songs include centuries-old British ballads, murder ballads, comic ditties, mountain lyrics and pioneer-days hymns. The songs have been remembered and performed by his daughters, Lomax and Loggins, who did not begin performing the songs in public until they were in their 80s.
Published by Loomis House Press and CAMSCO Music, the book documents 59 songs, ballads and fiddle tunes, and includes two CDs with performances. The book chronicles Lomax's life and the songs she and Loggins learned while growing up in the North Georgia mountains. The CDs feature performances by the sisters along with Casey Loggins, Pashie Towery and Tench.
After the performance there will be a reception and an opportunity to purchase "The Mary Lomax Ballad Book" and have it signed by Rosenbaum and the performers. The program is open free to the public.
Rosenbaum, retired art professor, is a familiar presence in the special collections libraries. He is a painter, muralist and illustrator, as well as a collector and performer of traditional American folk music. He researched and created a mural depicting post-1900 Georgia political history for the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies gallery.
His folk music field work in the South and Midwest has resulted in more than 14 documentary recordings, several of which are on Smithsonian-Folkways. He wrote and illustrated two books, "Folk Visions and Voices: Traditional Music and Song in North Georgia" (1983) and "Shout Because You're Free: The African American Ring Shout Tradition on the Coast of Georgia" (1998), both published by the University of Georgia Press.
In 2008, Rosenbaum received the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album for "Art Of Field Recording Volume I: Fifty Years Of Traditional American Music Documented By Art Rosenbaum."
He has donated his field recordings to the Walter J. Brown Media Archives and Peabody Awards Collection.

On the error of failing to appreciate your opponents' three-dimensionality:
They had cliche answers but only to their self-created straw-men. To exaggerate only slightly, they had never talked to anyone who really believed, and had thought deeply about, views drastically different from their own. As a result, when they heard real arguments instead of caricatures, they had no answers, only amazement that such views could be expressed by someone who had the external characteristics of being a member of the intellectual community, and that such views could be defended with apparent cogency. Never have I been more impressed with the advice I once received: "You cannot be sure that you are right unless you understand the arguments against your views better than your opponents do."

5K: Atlanta Women's 5K
And the exciting endurance adventures of Swim Bike Mom continue. This morning was the 2011 Atlanta Women's 5K race and event sponsored by the Atlanta Track Club.
Amazing, huge event. Sold out at capacity of 2,000 racers.
All women. Alll running in the same direction. A man's complete and utter nightmare.
I finished the race at just around thirty-four minutes, or approximately an 11:00 mile pace considering the crowd and the very slow start. Not fast. But definitely steady.
I learned quite a bit from running a race of this size, so alas, ….the SBM newbie tips:
1) Get to the Porta Potties early. While there may be plenty of johns for capacity, there is much less chance of landing in one with a giant stink-o-rama if you manage your pre-race go a tad early.
2) For that matter, get to the race early.
3) Watch where you are going during the run. Potholes. Roots. Caution cones. And in a race like this: other runners are literally, everywhere. This thing started off like a 5K sandwich. While I think most of the walkers tend to start behind the runners, apparently this rule/courtesy/trend is willy nilly. I almost had a few collisions with rear ends – and clearly, I'm not even a fast runner. I'm sure the speedy gals were jumping around my slow tail also. Just made me realize how much I need to pay attention. This was a good prep for a race the size of my Oly race in five short weeks.
4) Remember where you parked. Enough said. This race finished in a different place than the start (which may be standard… I have so little experience to lean upon). I did a little wandering post-race before I figured out where I was. Again, maybe that's just me. I wandered in front of a golfer during his shot on the adjacent golf course. He loved that.
5) Check your mile markers. Or make sure you have the super fancy versions of GPS. My base model Garmin and Foot Pod is just wrong, wrong, wrong. After last month's 5K, I thought it was a glitch. But last month's race was hilly as all hell, and maybe I really did truck along at a snails' pace….a twelve plus minute mile. Disappointing in retrospect and quite humbling… but if that's the case, then fact is fact. And again, that race was in the freezing cold rain, and some serious hillage. So.
After completing this race and Ms. Garmin stating I completed 3.6 miles at a 10:00 pace, I realized that she is a dirty little liar. The race ended (3.1 miles), and my time was 34:15. Those numbers don't work. Therefore, Ms. Garmin appears to be off by about 0.2 of a mile….per mile…I run.
Today, at mile marker one, Ms. Garmin said I had run 1.2.
At mile marker 2, she was lying, saying I was at 2.4.
At the finish, another lie. Ms. Garmin said I had completed 3.63. Ugh. Dirty little liar.
And my biggest newbie lesson. To be more careful with careless, blind dependence on gadgets, and focus on facts and feel. During my training, I thought I was running farther and faster than I was. But that's okay. Better adjust now in the last few weeks of training before St. Anthony's. I'll just add 0.2 to every mile, and go forward.
And actually, I was faster today than last race. Last race, I finished 5k at 36:11. This race, I finished 5k at 34:15. That's just plain faster. And therefore, that means I win. I will refrain from a timely Charlie Sheen joke. Bleck.
Hope ya'll have a fantastic weekend!

Sorry your Garmin isn't working like it should. But YES, faster than last time! Take that and hold it up, super awesome!
I hope your Oly training is going well. According to my (free printed off the internet) plan, this is a recovery week, so I get some nice short distances. Never mind that I skipped the 20 mile ride this weekend! Today was supposed to be 2.8 mile run, so I tacked on 1 hour on the spin bike before it to make up for (half of) the ride I missed.
Great job & keep it up, we are almost in APRIL!
March 29, 2011 3:49 pm
Thanks girl! And you are doing a great job to! We are almost there!!!!


text: I have a couple of questions concerning the '10 car. Number one, is Ford gonna release another V8 for the 2010 model year or is the 4.6 all. Number two, I am somewhat uneducated about rear ends and was wondering exactly what the numbers mean and what the difference is between a 3.31, 3.55, and 3.73 rear end. Thanks

Leach Amp: Ground loop problem
Hi all,
I started to discuss my ground loop problems in another thread, not dealing with that problem, so I decided to start another thread.
I have a slight problem with my Leach Amp, that is I have a small hum on my outputs. When I look at it on my scope, I can see that it is about 10mV "spikes" with a frequency of 50Hz there. It goes away when I disconnect one input from my CD-player.
Prof. Leach has one solution on:
As is says there there is a more or less speedy solution for it:
1) Turn the amplifier off and wait for the power supply to discharge. Do not perform this procedure with the amplifier on.
2) Cut the wire to the central ground on the input side of one circuit board.
3) Solder a short circuit jumper wire between the ground lugs on the two input jacks.
4) The circuit board with the cut ground wire is now grounded back through its input ground lead to the ground of the other circuit board. Use an ohmmeter to verify the new ground connection before turning the amp back on.
I'm not too kean to draw my signal ground around my amp like that, since I've built it modular, so I can disconnect any of the boards whenever I like. In that case, I have to take special precautions if I want to run only one channel.
Well, what if I just cut both grounds on the input connectors instead, and draw a new ground lead from the inputs to the central ground. Would that be really wrong? I'll just go ahead and try it, but if anyone of you have a better idea, please let me know.
What can cause this kind of ground loops in a Leach Amp?
|14th May 2002, 06:00 PM
diyAudio Moderator Emeritus
I would think that since you have isolated the problem to one channel, and it is a modular design, you should be able to farther isolate the problem.
I would check check everything on the board and see if component is improperly grounded. It could be as simple as one of the output devices is touching the heatsink.
I would start with checking your output devices, and checking. One thing that you can do, which Prof. Leach recommends doing is running the circuit without the output devices. You can easily do this by:
1. Connect two 100 ohm resistors from the loudspeaker output to one side of R36 tothe loudspeaker output to the other side of R36.
2. place a short circuit jumper in parallel with C12.
This will allow you to test the circuit without the output devices, which will help determine the source of your problem.
As for doing this, you need to do no soldiering. When I was testing my boards in Dr. Leach's lab, he has a setup for the resistors, which just consists of 3 alligator clips and some resistors that does #1, and then 2 interconnected alligator clips for #2. You can connect to other components on the board to reference those points. If you look at the circuit diagram and the component placement, you should be able to find a place on the board to clip onto. I do not have my boards with me, so I can't give you exact places. I do remember that for #2, the two alligator clips connected to Q14 and Q15.
If you determine that your board runs fine without the output devices, I would check everything referenced to ground, to see if anything is tied wrong.
This should narrow the problem down much more. I would do this before cutting wires and doing the task that you mentioned.

You might also check your power supply.
I don't know if you've built monoblocks or exactly how the channels are configured but check the polarity on your transformer leads. If you have two transformers and the polarity on one is reversed, I've seen it create ground loops...
Simply try reversing the plug one one unit (if monoblocks) where it enters the wall... If common chassis with two transformers them try reversing the polarity on one of them...
Just an idea,
|14th May 2002, 08:30 PM
diyAudio Moderator Emeritus
Good point. Another thing that you could do is bypass the power supply and use a bench power supply to test it. You could use a lower voltage power supply even, and it would not matter. That would narrow the problem down even more.

Probaly is hard to believe,that i give you advices,but anyway
How loud is hum?In my amp hum is there but you cannot hear it from lets say 20cm.When you put ear close to speakers you can hear slight hum.
Maybe you have noise in the mains or something is out of phase like fellow members say.

Hi all,
I will do some more testing like BrianGT suggest. That is also the way Prof. Leach recommends on the web-page to do the testing. I had not thought on the solution with the aligator clips before, though. Really nice. I've been delaying that kind of testing far to long now, since I thought I had to solder a whole bunch of stuff to my boards.
I have to admit that I have about -30mV offset on my right board and about +10mV offset on my left board. It can have some thing to do with my lack of matching on both the zener diodes and my input transistors on one board. <---------- gag warning...
In my setup I have one toroid transformer in one box for two channels. I've connected it according to the "pic 2" schematic in
the Hey Helix thread . I will check on the polarity from my transformer to the rectifiers. Could that have any effect on the ripple on my output? Well, yes (when I think about it). I'll try that tomorrow (too late now).
Have a nice day,

Ok, I tried to draw the ground leads on the input terminals directly to my reference ground point, but it just got worse that way. Lesson learned.
I tried Prof. Leach's recommendation, and there... Some 25+ years of experience won again. The hum disappeared. Good for me. New project please... ;=)
Well, and I found out that I didn't have to sacrifice my "modularity", since I have used dual pole connectors for my grounds from my boards, so I just disconnected the signal ground from one of the boards after I joined the ground leads on the input terminals. I just need to connect it again if I want to remove one of the boards.
Theory is one thing, practice another.
Thanks for your input!

Conservative columnist Walter Williams speaks on campus
Williams is the author of "America: A Minority Viewpoint" and backup host for Rush Limbaugh Show | March 16, 2004
The Xavier college Republicans club sponsored Williams' appearance with the financial backing of an anonymous donor who provided the funding needed to meet Williams' speaking fee.
"Williams is a self-made man with a strong voice on many different diversity issues on college campuses," says Colleen Heister, chairman of Xavier's college Republicans.
Heister says she wanted Xavier students to experience a strong conservative voice on campus, especially on issues that college students can relate to. Williams has spoken on many college campuses about various diversity issues, she says. The move to bring Williams to campus was partly in response to the appearance last fall of ultra-liberal filmmaker Michael Moore.
Williams, whose weekly column is published in 160 national newspapers including the Cincinnati Enquirer, addressed the topic, "How much can discrimination explain?" The talk was in the Schiff Family Conference Center at the Cintas Center.
Williams teaches economics at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from California State University, and Master of Arts and doctorate degrees in economics from UCLA. He also holds a Doctor of Humane Letters from Virginia Union University and Grove City College, Doctors of Law from Washington and Jefferson College and Doctor Honoris Causa en Ciencias Sociales from Universidad Francisco Marroquin, in Guatemala.
Williams is also known for his regular commentaries on "The Nightly Business Report" and has authored six books and more than 80 publications in scholarly journals and popular magazines such as Newsweek and Reader's Digest. He has appeared on radio and televised broadcast programs including "Nightline" and "Face the Nation."
At George Mason University, Williams is the recipient of the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics honor and has served as chairman of the economics department for several years.

More than 500 veterans and their families were honored Saturday at the fifth annual Independence Day Celebration hosted by Star Group-Veterans Helping Veterans at the Copperas Cove Civic Center.
Retired 1st Sgt. Jonathan Haywood, president of the nonprofit organization, said its goal is to help veterans whenever they can and honoring them on the Fourth of July is just one way to do that.
"The purpose of this is to service the (older) veterans for the holidays, because a whole lot of these people won't get the chance to have dinner with their family or loved ones," Haywood said.

Milwaukee Bucks (Scott Skiles) 1-3
Inactive: Chris Douglas Roberts, Michael Redd, Darington Hobson
Boston Celtics (Doc Rivers) 3-1
Inactive: Kendrick Perkins, Luke Harangody, Delonte West
Date: 11/03/2010
Game Time: 7:00 PM (CST)
TV: ESPN/FS Wisconsin
The Other Guys: Celtics Hub
Point Guard
Brandon Jennings vs. Rajon Rondo
Rondo is one of the worst outside shooting point guards you'll ever see, but incredibly effective off the dribble. With his array of shots, he's pretty much unguardable if he gets in the paint. His length, quickness and aggressiveness will give Jennings problems on the offensive end too. Rondo plays with a real chip on his shoulder and seems like he's out to prove that he's the best point guard in the league every night. With games of 17, 24 and 17 assists under his belt this year, it's getting harder and harder to argue that he isn't. Jennings shot very poorly again against the Blazers, but didn't force much. So long as his 3-point shot is unreliable though, Milwaukee will struggle. They don't have enough outside shooters to absorb his inconsistencies.
Advantage: Celtics
Shooting Guard
John Salmons vs. Ray Allen
One of these nights, Salmons will hopefully look like the Salmons of the second half of last season, instead of the Salmons of the first half of last season. Every night, Ray Allen still looks like the Ray Allen of 10 years ago. That pretty much sums this up.
Advantage: Celtics
Small Forward
Carlos Delfino vs. Paul Pierce
Pierce is a very creative shot-maker that can hurt Milwaukee off the dribble or from behind the arc. He's kind of like a more physical Brandon Roy. He likely won't provide the same suffocating defense off the ball that Nicolas Batum did yesterday, but could hurt the Bucks a lot more on the offensive end. The general Celtics scheme may focus on keeping Delfino from getting open looks outside, as he appears to be the Bucks only 3-point threat at the moment. It will be important that Delfino let fly the second he has any space outside. Milwaukee needs a big shooting night from him if they hope to stay close.
Advantage: Celtics
Power Forward
Drew Gooden vs. Kevin Garnett
Defensively, Garnett looks as good as ever and he's boosted his scoring and rebounding averages back up around his levels from his first season as a Celtic too. He has a reliable mid-range jumper that could give the Bucks the same problems Dante Cunningham and LaMarcus Aldridge gave them with theirs Tuesday night as well. Gooden was much more eager to pass the ball in Tuesday night's game and he looked good doing it at times. Sometimes it seemed like he was trying to force it into tight spots, but the effort was appreciated. He's still relying on isolations to score baskets though, something he should be getting done off offensive rebounds and mid-range jumpers off kick-outs. He's still a work in progress. At the very least, Gooden is a better person than Garnett, who apparently called Charlie V. a cancer patient yesterday. Wow.
Advantage: Celtics
Andrew Bogut vs. Jermaine O'Neal
Shaquille O'Neal got the night off in Detroit thanks to a knee injury and Jermaine filled in just fine, scoring 12 points. Jermaine doesn't have the intimidating size of Shaq and could potentially be a point of attack for the Bucks with Bogut. Bogut looks like he still isn't comfortable using his right hand to finish any of his post moves outside of tip-ins with. He had a number of hooks using the right yesterday that he couldn't get to fall. If teams figure that out quickly, they'll do everything they can to cut him off from going to the middle on the right block and using his dangerous left-handed hooks. Believe me when I say the Celtics are likely aware of this.
Advantage: Bucks
Corey Maggette, Ersan Ilyasova, Keyon Dooling, Jon Brockman and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
Glen Davis, Marquis Daniels, Nate Robinson and Von Wafer
Coach Skiles is still searching for answers off the bench. He's gotten little out of this group and their size disadvantage could be exploited in this one, especially if Shaq plays. Milwaukee needs a lot more out of Keyon Dooling, who hasn't given them a third of the production that Luke Ridnour did last season. Maggette keeps getting to the line, but the offense doesn't move very well while he's in the game. Everyone is standing around waiting for him to attack. While he generally generates positive results for himself, if no one else is getting in the flow, it isn't working out so well. Even if he's successful, Milwaukee needs to keep the ball moving. Glen Davis is another Celtic big man that can step away from the hoop and hit a mid-range jumper. He's had a nice start to the season for them and is hitting better than 60% of his shots.
Advantage: Celtics
Prediction: Celtics 94 – Bucks 80
This is not the ideal place for the Bucks to go figure themselves out. The struggles will likely continue, Milwaukee will likely turn the ball over more than they help each other out offensively and shooting percentage should remain an issue. Boston makes all those things issues against teams that are really good, imagine what they'll do to a team that hasn't figured out how to play together yet? A bad loss in Boston is nothing to get too worked up about though. I'm beginning to think we'll see a month's worth of less than stellar Bucks ball before these guys figure each other out.

Health, as it relates to the workplace, is created by two major forces; what employees bring with them into the workplace (e.g. personal resources, health practices, beliefs and attitudes) and the impact of the workplace on employees (e.g. organization of work in both a physical and psychological sense). Health promotion focuses on the elements that make up a healthy workplace and includes the physical environment, health practices and social environment & personal resources. This course focuses on the total well-being of individuals and groups within a corporate and community context. It emphasizes a holistic approach to achieving workplace, community, and personal wellness.

Wireless functional tester slashes cost-of-test
Post a comment
Palo Alto, Calif.Test-and-measurement vendor Agilent Technologies, Inc. now offers a cost-effective mobile-phone functional tester. Agilent's GS-8210 system includes a mobile test station and test software. The tester is priced starting at about $25,400.
Most significantly, Agilent's GS-8210 functional tester also includes a special RF-shielded box with build-in antenna coupler. The RF shield box lets you simulate call operation, and provide reliable test results, while avoiding conflicts with real networks.
The GS-8210 tester supports GSM, GPRS/EGPRS, and W-CDMA technologies. Future editions will include options for cdma2000, 1xEV-DO, HSDPA, and TD-SCDMA. Software automates the testing program.
Application Versatility
The GS-8210 also lets you perform functional testing on the manufacturing line, and do fault diagnoses and adjustments on manufacturing QA (quality assurance) and repair lines. What's more, the GS-8210 lends itself to go/no-go testing at service shops.
The GS-8210 system can also save floor space, thanks to its small footprint. Moreover, an upgrade feature lets you add new firmware or hardware as needed, instead of buying new equipment.
