On Twitter, of course. What, this is 2013. Everyone does everything on Twitter. Even get fired from their jobs. Or in the case of Christopher McQuarrie, confirm that he's getting one.
The writer/director has confirmed on the social networking site that he's "decided" to accept the "Mission Impossible 5" gig. Or as he writes, in regards to a follower's question about the fifth installment in the spy franchise:
Deciding to accept. "@leeroy_nitro: @chrismcquarrie G'day mateJust wondering if your confirmed to direct Mission Impossible 5 yet?"
— ChristopherMcQuarrie (@chrismcquarrie) February 5, 2013
McQuarrie was previously attached to the gig, but it was not confirmed that he would step behind the camera for Paramount and star Tom Cruise. With Brad Bird, director of the previous installment having moved on to "Tomorrowland", it was clear he wouldn't be back.
"Mission Impossible 5" would re-team McQuarrie and Cruise, who previously worked together as director/actor (respectively) on the adaptation of the Lee Child novel "Jack Reacher". McQuarrie has also previously done lots of script doctoring for Cruise's movies, so I guess they're kinda pals.

Applying NumberValidator to a TextField will allow a number to be validated as a number and stored as a String. However, NumberValidator is not able to take a String and display it as a number. I think this should be a bidirectional process. An example of where this would be useful is the following:
I'd like to store a number as a String so I don't lose any prepending 0's (which RDBMSs love to throw out) when persisting the data. However, I do want to ensure that only a number is valid input.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Like I said, I'll go with Paul's approach. It seems to make sense that the validators should handle non-native datatype validation. But, if your assessment of the translator system is correct, then it's really only applicable for read-only values, unless of the proper type, since the translation is only done in one direction. So, if it were intended to be a data marshalling service, its utility is limited.
I think the translator services are meant to translate incoming values (which are already strings) in to native/object types whereas validators would be just for validation of input... In your case it seems input validation really is all you need as translation from string -> number -> string wouldn't make any sense. ...
Paul would know best in either case since he wrote the majority of this infrastructure.
That looks like it'd do the trick. I guess I had just hoped that the number translator would handle this fairly common case. But, I may have just missed the point, too. In any event, it probably should break in both directions, rather than work in just one <shrug>.
I think what you're looking for is the Pattern validator which validates a string against a regular expression.
Something like this perhaps?
<binding name="validators" value="validators:pattern=\d+"/>
I think I actually meant NumberTranslator. I had to dig into my code to verify, but I don't use the T3 validation system at all. Indeed, it looks like the problem is still around with a number translator (<binding name="translator" value="translator:number"/>).
Should I open a new issue or edit this one?
I think that NumberValidator has been deprecated in favor of the new validators/translator setup. (where there is no NumberValidator class .....number translators and validators do exist though)

Frankfurt may still suffer from an image problem, but its banking and finance legal market has developed rapidly over the past five years. Aled Griffiths charts its progress.
Unless you love apple wine, you're a student of 19th century German democratic movements or your footballing passions extend to supporting Eintracht, then Frankfurt still has an image problem.
"A provincial market town with some skyscrapers which landed here by accident," is how one English lawyer describes his foreign posting.
Only a few years ago it would have been difficult to find 100 lawyers in Frankfurt whose practices were predominantly in banking and finance. Now, Clifford Chance Pünder is aiming to have that number on its own books by the end of 2001.
It is a sign of how far the German banking and finance legal market has developed in the past five years. Not only are these banking departments among the fastest growing in Frankfurt, but the number of banks and finance houses attracted to the region means that firms have found work dropping into their laps.
The three letters on everybody's lips are, of course, IPO – initial public offering. It is common knowledge that German companies have traditionally financed themselves through a close relationship with a house bank. It was only in the 1990s, when the possibilities for export and growth multiplied, and banks themselves had found more profitable ways of making money, that companies began to look to the international capital markets. Since then, the equity markets in Frankfurt, particularly the junior Neuer Markt, have exploded.
It took time for law firms to react to these developments. This was because practices in equity capital markets had traditionally grown through advising companies in the run-up to an issue, with the work being carried out in their corporate departments. The banks, if they had outside counsel at all, were advised by a small circle of firms in Frankfurt.
"Much of the work for law firms in the early 1990s was based around syndicated loans. We did a lot of work on conduit structures to countries such as Italy," says Christoph Schucking, a partner with CMS Hasche Sigle Eschenlohr Peltzer Schäfer. "We were called in by London banks to advise on the credit risks in the early 1990s after unification. The capital markets work then was nothing in comparison to now."
Crossover dreams
The way in which some firms now concentrate such work in their banking and finance departments, as opposed to their corporate departments, is instructive for the banking field as a whole. That is, while a large number of issuers will be accompanied to the bourse by their house law firm, an increasing number are being advised by law firms with track records that are acceptable to the issuing bank.
Bruckhaus Westrick Heller Löber (now merged with Freshfields) and Shearman & Sterling are leading the pack on issues on the Neuer Markt and Regulated Market. Bruckhaus advised on 46 issues in 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. Together with the 26 of Deringer, the newly merged firm is way ahead of its competitors on sheer numbers of transactions. Shearmans managed 32, as well as a host of transatlantic offerings and issues on the Swiss and Austrian exchanges.
Shearmans and Bruckhaus both had roots in the regions throwing up the old-economy companies going to the market. In other cases, the firms struck deals from relationships that were built with lead underwriters in previous transactions. Bruckhaus also has the advantage of having one of the most powerful practices in information technology and telecoms, giving it a sure foothold in the new economy.
"Bruckhaus does have a strong IT and telecoms practice, but the success with the Neuer Markt IPOs stems also from the track record of its banking department in high-tech and bio-tech IPOs," says Tobias Mueller-Deku, partner in the Bruckhaus finance team. "In addition, once we have done the various financing rounds on a venture capital investment, we are likely to do the going public as well."
German law firms are therefore witnessing a convergence in their practices. Having a strong banking and finance practice is of increasing importance for corporate finance work. This in turn is beginning to dominate the historic mainstay of German law firms: traditional and academic company law where practitioners are rarely brought face to face with the financial interests of their clients.
While this tendency can be most clearly seen in equity capital markets, similar cross over is happening in areas such as securitisation, project finance and debt capital markets, where law firms have only recently started to seek to advise originators as well as arrangers.
Firms such as Gaedertz and CMS Hasche Sigle have managed to build a modest securitisation practice over the past year, advising originators with which they have long had contact, as well as benefiting from referral work from US or UK firms.
Feddersen Laule Ewerwahn Scherzberg Finkelnburg Clemm started its Düsseldorf office with two in-house lawyers from Thyssen and built up a project finance practice advising heavy industry in the Ruhr. But after its recent merger with White & Case (a LLP) it now has access to the other side.
Norr Stiefenhofer Lutz has made a name for itself in the nascent high-yield market in Germany thanks to the work it has done for Fresenius. In all these cases, the developments are being driven by the need to provide all-round finance skills for their corporate clients.
International records
This is only a first step. Banking and finance in Germany, like other fields of law, has been markedly affected by international mergers.
Banking lawyers at Pünder, for example, are being integrated into one of the world's most powerful finance practices at Clifford Chance. "Banking and finance is obviously one of the main winners from the merger in Germany," says Peter Scherer, a Pünder partner. "We are being flooded with new clients, but also much more interesting work. I have to admit that we underestimated just how much more we would be able to do, be it in regulatory e-business, capital markets, derivatives or acquisition finance."
Oppenhoff & Rädler Linklaters & Alliance lawyers in debt capital markets have already reaped the benefits of Linklaters' client list. Berthold Kusserow at Oppenhoffs says: "Major growth areas continue to be in IPO work, as well as acquisition finance and corporate bonds, especially high-yields and convertibles, even though there is still debate as to whether there is a big enough market to place the high-yield products."
Feddersen Laule partners, on the other hand, now have acquisition and project finance expertise at White & Case with a depth the firm could never have hoped to build up on its own.
In European terms, however, all eyes are on the newly merged Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer (FBD). For pure German work, it now has a formidable team. It also has access to a respectable international banking practice with a strong reputation in project finance and securitisation.
What happens to the FBD practice in Germany is seen as highly significant. Some observers have warned that Freshfields' corporate strength could overshadow the Bruckhaus Deringer banking team, but Mueller-Deku disagrees. He says that the strength of the German finance market has been partly built up through its independent identity.
"There are of course a number of 'me-too' products where Germany is just following the trends in the UK. But there are also highly original products where the really interesting issuers and investors are in Germany. For example the 'aktienanleihe' [a form of reverse convertible] offers particular forms of options and managed certificates. These are conceived in Germany and then marketed Europe-wide from here," he says.
While outsiders suspect that Clifford Chance Pünder could lay more emphasis on finance than Pünder's traditional corporate skills, they also question whether the corporate strength of Freshfields could set some boundaries to the Bruckhaus Deringer banking practice in Germany. Lovells, by contrast, has the advantage of a smaller but well-balanced corporate and banking practice and has found in Boesebeck Droste a similar German partner with untapped potential in the finance field.
Boesebeck, as one of the offices with a real Frankfurt heritage, has strong relations to Commerzbank and the regulatory team is well-rated. There is also considerable potential leverage in the firm's litigation and private equity practices.
Meanwhile, seemingly oblivious to the goings-on around it, Hengeler Mueller Weitzel Wirtz carries on expanding its practice with the cooperation primarily of Davis Polk & Wardwell, as well as Slaughter and May. It has been a highly successful model, albeit with some limitations. There has been a tendency, for example, for Hengeler's lead clients to choose their own US counsel for the big-ticket capital markets issues, such as the succession of Deutsche Telekom issues where Deutsche Bank picked Sullivan & Cromwell.
However, Davis Polk did pop up when Hengeler advised such luminaries as Linde, Stinnes or Software AG.
"A key advantage of our arrangement with Davis Polk is that we are flexible," says Hengeler's Torsten Busch. "Sometimes one of us is conflicted out, sometimes the bank or the issuer has a long relationship with another firm, like Deutsche Telekom's preference for Sullivan & Cromwell acting together with us for the underwriters. We do believe, however, that the banks recognise that there is an advantage in efficiency and costs in using us."
It is unlikely that any other firm will be able to follow the neo-isolationist position of Hengeler. With notable banking firms such as Norton Rose looking for German capability, and banking lawyers being wooed by other US firms setting up their own offices, an international link-up is vital for leading German firms.
And given the increasingly close link between areas of practice previously kept separate, an international dimension is important not only as regards classical banking work, but the corporate finance field as a whole.
German banking lawyers now recognise that it will increasingly be the case that German law firms' products will only be able to sustain themselves insofar as they are part of an international practice.
"Almost every capital markets issue has a cross-border aspect nowadays. Equity issues will usually be a public offering here with a substantial private placement aspect abroad," says Schucking of CMS Hasche Sigle. "In addition, the regulatory authorities work much closer together. Non-compliance in Germany has consequences in the UK as well."
The new breed
This is only part of the battle, however. Truly multi-cultural banking practices are a new breed and a factor in the legal market – up until now almost every international practice of note has been completely dominated by either UK or US law.
Although London law firms have found it imperative to build up a US capital markets practice, this has not yet gone far beyond a mere execution capacity and US firms have not had to have any meaningful international element thanks to the size of their domestic market.
One exception is Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton. "Our firm has had a strong presence in local legal markets in Europe for decades. Offering German banking and capital markets law was an obvious step for a multinational partnership," says partner Christof von Dryander. "I don't see the expansion of other US firms as a defensive move. We are in the middle of an extraordinary boom in Europe and there is a lot of business to be had – it is a big pie, after all."
The merger of major German and London banking and finance practices means there will be more and more firms with dual and triple capability, where each jurisdiction is for the first time equally represented.
For the first time therefore a coherent firm-wide multinational strategy has to be found which can grow as many parts of the practice as possible instead of exporting the legal techniques and jurisdiction of one particular country.
"Our business plan works on the basis of expanding our services in banking and finance across a wide front. That means that we, as German lawyers advising on German law, will push these products. We are not going to make ourselves redundant, especially since the demand is clearly there," says Oppenhoff's Kusserow.
Such growth is less of an issue for German firms in areas such as equity capital markets and the increase in public takeover work will also fall naturally into some of the M&A and finance practices.
Bruckhaus's Gunnar Schuster says: "There will be a wave of consolidation on the Neuer Markt. A number of companies are already the focus of interest from foreign investors. The end of 'Fortress Germany' now means there is a level playing field for public takeovers. Obviously we are now in a much stronger position to offer integrated cross-border advice."
There is a difference in fields such as acquisition and project finance, as well as debt capital markets. This is because these are areas where a huge potential exists for German legal advice. Some German lawyers argue, however, that this potential will be exploited only if German law products are developed which are both encouraged within the newly merged firms and marketed aggressively to clients.
Traditionally, it has been this last element which has been the biggest hurdle for German law firms. Because the in-house departments of the domestic German banks were traditionally so huge, banking and finance practices only developed when the international investment banks arrived in Germany in force some 10 years ago.
As a result they have only been able to react to developments, carrying out the German side of international transactions or riding the wave of the German banks' growth.
"Nearly all of the equity capital markets work was domestic and therefore done in-house up to the early 1990s," says Busch of Hengeler Mueller. "It was in particular the establishment of the 144a Rule issues which really pushed the international market forward for German firms – it made the German market more attractive for the US investment banks."
However, there have been other areas where firms have built up a reputation in the market for producing legal products that have helped to increase the flow of similar work into Germany. The securitisation practice at Hengeler Mueller, acquisition finance practice at Baker & McKenzie and asset finance practice at Bruckhaus are three examples.
Bruckhaus also played a lead role advising the arrangers on the first German project finance deal under US GAAP last year, a deal that is expected to pave the way for expansion in the relatively dormant domestic market for project finance.
But the establishment of international firms with major banking practices in Germany means they have access to clients without having to go through UK house-firms whose interests lay in diminishing the importance of German law firms in transactions.
This tendency was, of course, a result of the fact that any finance transaction with a placement element had to be under New York or London law in order for it to be sold or syndicated.
But with the extraordinary growth of the asset management sector – predicted to be worth DM2,000bn (£612bn) by 2003 – German lawyers are about to benefit from an explosion in investment.
Kusserow says: "There has been a trend to use German products for institutional investors for some time, but it has really boomed over the past three or four years. Insurance companies are demanding German law for their structured products."
The result for some German lawyers is a fundamentally different situation. As far as personal interests and London fiefdoms allow, the merged firms are going to have to find ways to push their German teams into the international limelight.
In this they may enjoy some support from their clients. It has been highly noticeable in interviews undertaken by German law magazine Juve with investment banks and equity houses, that they are undergoing the same growing pains.
"It took a lot of persuasion of my colleagues in New York and London that it was worth building up Frankfurt with German bankers. I see us as being at a competitive disadvantage if we do everything from London, but not everyone agrees," says a banker at one of the major investment banks.
Whether these institutions increase the size of their German finance practices, and whether it takes the form of international products being applied to Germany, or indigenous products being allowed to develop, is to a significant extent a matter of policy. As such it is the subject of debate within the banks, which law firms, firstly as important advisers and secondly as product-providers, influence.
As far as the newly merged international firms are concerned, German lawyers are looking to educate partners in London and in the future even in New York as to the huge German finance and capital markets potential in their ranks.
But they admit also that in order to do this, German finance practices will have to demonstrate the same client response, documentation flexibility and transaction management skills as their UK and US colleagues.
"German law firms are today much better at having standard contracts and prospectuses on their system, but there is still room for improvement," admits Busch.
Despite all the advances made by German firms in this respect over the past few years, banking clients still say they lag behind their UK and US counterparts when it comes to key skills. "Good US lawyers, and increasingly Londoners as well, have the sort of disclosure experience which can help them to push the transaction on," says one self-effacing German lawyer.
"David Rockwell at Sullivans is a good example," says a Hengeler observer. "He really got the Infineon deal done – the German lawyers on the Siemens side were nowhere."
The huge IPO of the Siemens semi-conductor spin-off is therefore a good example of an international finance transaction which went to Anglo-Saxon lawyers.
Part of the management job in integrating the Frankfurt and London practices will be to analyse how far German banking practices will have to adapt their internal structures to mirror that of US and UK practices.
The open question is whether instilling a transaction management culture could depend partly on sheer manpower. As one A&O lawyer puts it: "If you want to compete for work from Goldmans and JP Morgan, then it's about a particular sort of service, and you will only be able to get that through leverage."
And there's the rub. Some German lawyers like to emphasise how their clients want legal skills as opposed to speed. But because the latter is now almost being taken for granted, other Frankfurt banking lawyers claim it cannot be ignored.
"Firms here might be able to raise their leverage, but not in every field. In debt and securitisation work it makes sense, but not necessarily in equity capital markets or M&A," says Busch, concluding: "It is in general less easy for German firms to raise leverage when the partner track is so much shorter. By definition most German firms don't have a lot of five- or six-year associates whom they can leave to steer a transaction."
Integration, cooperation and business development of the new German-UK banking and finance practices is no simple matter.
But as one Frankfurt lawyer at a newly merged firm says: "As long as our new London partners realise that they will profit from learning from us as well as the other way round, I think we'll be fine."
Hengeler Mueller Weitzel Wirtz
Hannes Schneider
Regarded as the grandfather of the German banking law scene, Schneider's influence on the German market has been remarkable. He is universally admired for building the Hengeler Mueller banking practice, as well as for his academic excellence and outstanding client skills (as well as an impish sense of humour). Links to Deutsche Bank are legendary, and Hengeler Mueller has also set up most of the leading international investment banks in Frankfurt. Relations with JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are particularly strong.
Hendrik Haag
Seen by many as Schneider's natural successor, Haag has a leading reputation for his work in the bank lending markets, even if Hengeler Mueller was a little slow in getting its acquisition finance practice off the ground. He also carries weight within the partnership as a whole: he has been Frankfurt managing partner for some time.
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
Andreas Kunig
The combination of two of Frankfurt's most highly respected banking lawyers could be electric. Kunig is seen as having played a similar role at Bruckhaus as Schneider does at Hengeler Mueller, and has overseen an extraordinary growth of the banking and finance practice over the past five years. He is active mostly in regulatory and capital markets work, but has lent his weight to the securitisation practice as well. He has good relations with a wide range of banks, including Chase, Lehman and Dresdner.
Wolfgang Feuring
Feuring was originally one of the stars of the Deutsche Bank in-house department, joining Deringer in 1991. He is credited with having played a major role in building up Goldman Sachs in Frankfurt and relations remain close. He has an outstanding reputation for his work in equity capital markets.
Oppenhoff & Rädler Linklaters & Alliance
Berthold Kusserow
Originally a corporate lawyer, Kusserow joined from Pünder as an associate, much to the latter's chagrin as it turned out. He is one of Frankfurt's most popular banking lawyers, with clients who are always happy to comment on his convivial nature. He is now the senior Frankfurt banking lawyer who has not only maintained close relations to Commerzbank, but has also extended the firm's reach so that it is challenging Hengeler Mueller in debt capital markets work – something which would have been unthinkable five years ago.
Clifford Chance Pünder
Peter Scherer
Having worked in banks in London for years, Scherer came back to Pünder and has built up one of the top derivatives and regulatory practices in Frankfurt. Jovial and popular, Scherer is known for his work across the whole debt and fixed income scene, and was recently responsible for advising on the establishment of the Leipzig Energy Exchange.
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton
Christof von Dryander
All the leading banking lawyers in Frankfurt have traditionally come from long-established German firms, with the exception of von Dryander. He started in the Brussels office at Cleary Gottlieb, moving to London in 1985, and then set up Frankfurt in 1991 as a partner. He has seen the Cleary Gottlieb practice become one of the most highly-respected in the city, even if it remains small. Regulatory and capital markets work are his principle focus, and his work on hybrid capital structures has attracted wide acclaim.
CMS Hasche Sigle Eschenlohr Peltzer Schäfer
Christoph Schucking
Another banking lawyer who has grown up with the expansion of the field in Frankfurt, Schucking also has a number of strings to his bow, ranging from all-round banking advice for some of Frankfurt's best known private banks, to playing an important role in the strong growth of the IPO practice. Widely admired for his loyalty, many believe that Schucking could have got jobs at some of the better known banking firms.
Baker & McKenzie/Döser Amereller Noack
Reiner Magold
Having possibly not the most pre-eminent international network to work with in banking and finance, Magold is credited all the more with building up a highly focussed group in Frankfurt which has for some years been a market leader in acquisition finance and project finance (both major growth areas for the future in Germany). He has a reputation as immensely hard-working, but he has been given support over the past two years thanks to stronger growth in the department.
Weil Gotshal & Manges
Josef Tobien
Although Tobien has only just joined what is at the moment still only a two-partner office (Weil Gotshal has not even moved into permanent offices yet), he is worth mentioning due to the shock which was caused by his departure from the Takeover Commission of the German Stock Exchange (he thus played a central role in the Vodafone/Mannesmann deal). Before that he had been involved in listings regulation, and is thus well known to every banking lawyer in the city. Highly praised for his pragmatism and business-like approach, even if some were surprised that he chose to go into private practice.
Shearman & Sterling
Stephan Hutter
Known as the 'whirlwind' of the Shearmans IPO practice, Hutter is actually a dual-qualified Austrian and US lawyer, who has nevertheless been at the head of a team in Frankfurt which has surprised everyone by the number of deals it has been able to handle. Other than the odd foray into debt capital markets work, the Shearmans banking practice is relatively restricted, but Hutter's reputation is all the more remarkable for that.
Rising stars
Hengeler Mueller Weitzel Wirtz
Stefan Krauss
To call Krauss a rising star is slightly ridiculous. He has for some years been seen as the securitisation guru of the German market, but he has only recently begun to be more widely known, overshadowed as he was by his illustrious seniors (although he is in fact only slightly younger than Haag). Krauss is now best known for his invention of highly sophisticated (and fiendishly complicated) new structures in a number of fields, the most prominent being on the euro clearing system.
Torsten Busch
Softly spoken and unassuming, it is Busch who has been the most noticeable figure in the Hengeler Mueller charge in the equity capital markets field. He has impressed both clients and competitors over the past year and has the backing of a number of younger partners of similar experience. Many in Frankfurt are wondering whether Hengeler will now make a more concerted attack on the Neuer Markt work with Busch et al (the concentration has been on big-ticket international work until now – just the sort of issues which could go to London after the stock exchange merger).
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
Tobias Mueller-Deku
Bruckhaus has been able to churn out young, highly motivated (and gregarious) partners almost at will over the past few years, and Mueller-Deku is one of the most visible. Consistently recommended by banks who have either instructed him themselves or seen him on the other side of the transaction, he is one of the huge team of IPO lawyers at Bruckhaus. He is also one of the curiously large band of Bruckhaus lawyers who speak Japanese.
Gunnar Schuster
Although a number of his competitors have remarked that he was almost too softly spoken to fit into Bruckhaus, Schuster is highly admired both in and outside the firm. He is seen as the rising regulatory star in Frankfurt with particular expertise in public takeover work.
Clifford Chance Pünder
Caroline Jury
Another lawyer whose age belies the influence she has had on the market. Jury was described by one Hengeler lawyer as "the queen of acquisition finance". She has been in-volved in the financing of a huge number of deals and together with the team at Baker & McKenzie, is some way ahead of the competition.
Oppenhoff & Rädler Linklaters & Alliance
Herbert Harrer
Another dual-qualified US-German lawyer who has come to the fore (with colleague Christoph Vaupel) in Oppenhoff's rapidly expanding equity capital markets practice. He was described as "dynamic" and "highly promising" by one experienced Bruckhaus lawyer and is credited with having catapulted Oppenhoff's equity practice into the top league in only a few years. This might have something to do with his work-rate – last year he is reported to have billed more than 3,000 hours.

20 and never even kissed a girl
May 4th, 2012
I am 26 years and have generally, at least for as long as I can remember, slept pretty poorly - maybe with the exception of childhood. I have been given several opinions about this by doctors, and was hoping that someone here with a little experience with sleep disorders might be able to help me. I don't know if much of my history is relevant to this, but in case there is a connection I thought I would just spell everything out:
Since early childhood (maybe around the age of 5) I had a tick twitching my eyelids, at times quite violently and seemingly without control. I still have this tick but can now control it quite well and would describe it as a very tangible, physical sensation, somewhere between an itch and something being caught in my eye, which is temporarily relieved when I twitch the eyelids. The description that Tourretes sufferers use to describe their symptoms, as well as sufferers of Restless Leg Syndrome, seem to match relatively closely with how I would describe it. It occurs in both eyes and is made noticably worse by stress and especially (more than the former) tiredness, although it is always present. Physical exhaustion, sex, meditation, distraction, and general positive emotions seem to alleviate it somewhat. The only way to remove the sensation is to close my eyes, then it disappears completely.
I was diagnosed with ADD during a pre-enrollment test given to all children in Germany prior to starting school. I was 5 at the time. Since I was always good at school and relatively well behaved I was never medicated and this was never further investigated. Throughout my life I have been told that I ask a lot of questions. So much so that I am bringing it up (seriously, it's a recurring theme...).
About 10 years ago (2-3 years into adolescence) I started occasionally experiencing an uncomfortable sensation in my toes, which would be temporarily alleviated by moving them. Warming up the toes (putting on socks for example) immediately relieves the sensation. While it might seem that this is related to my eye tick, I feel them as very distinct sensations. Unlike the tick in my eyelids, the toes are an uncomfortable sensation alleviated, not satisfied, by movement..
Aside from all this, I have, for as long as I can vividly remember (and I don't say that lightly) slept poorly. I generally take quite long to fall asleep, and usually require at least 8 hours of sleep to not feel fatigued during the day. If I sleep until rested, I will generally sleep 9 to 10 hours, without being particularly tired before going to bed. Clearing my mind of thought makes it very easy to fall asleep if I am stressed, but it does not seem to improve the quality of the sleep itself. After sleeping for 10 hours, I feel like I've "napped" for 10 hours, it doesn't feel rejuvinating at all. Girlfriends throughout the years, and my mother before that, have always commented that I talk a lot during sleep.
I also snore on occasion. When I do snore I notice that I sleep more poorly, and slightly better when I don't snore. The quality of my sleep improved somewhat with septoplasty 3 years ago (which improved airflow through my nose and reduced snoring/blockages). I have been told on one occasion that I stopped breathing for about 10 seconds during sleep. I rarely / occasionally (maybe several times a year) have dreams / semi-lucid sensations about being short of breath while asleep. That could just be my face in a pillow for all I know...
The condition which, to me, as a layman, seems best to explain my poor sleep quality and the sensation in my toes is Restless Leg Syndrome, although I have never experienced any desire or need to walk nor have I felt any phantom sensations in my leg. Sleep apnea might explain the very occasional shortness of breath but I have no reason to believe it occurs regularly enough to really affect the quality of my sleep throughout my life.
I'm looking forward to hearing your input
What I'm really after is just an educated take on what, based on what I've described, I should look for. Is Restless leg syndrome a possibility? Should I go to one of those sleep labs? As a PhD student I'm not particularly loaded so I'd like to avoid the latter unless necessary...

March 17 (Reuters) - Swiss bank UBS Group AG has hired investment bankers Jose Luis Martinez and Daniel Bassan to be part of the Latin American mergers and acquisitions (M&A) group, according to an internal memo sent out on Thursday.
A spokeswoman for UBS confirmed the hires.
Martinez, a managing director who will become the head of Latin American M&A based in New York, joined in February after 20 years at JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bear Stearns. He had been a member of JPMorgan's LatAm corporate and investment bank management committee, and was responsible for the region's real estate, lodging and power and utilities sectors.
Bassan, who is based in Sao Paulo, joins from Credit Suisse Group AG where he was a managing director responsible for technology, media and telecommunications, financial sponsors, education and real estate. Before Credit Suisse, he worked at BTG Pactual. (Reporting by Liana B. Baker; Editing by Chris Reese)

LOS ANGELES — During her first three seasons in the WNBA, former Maryland all-American Kristi Toliver faced a more formidable adversary than any opponent wearing a different jersey: her own internally corrosive passion.
This year, however, Toliver began to dilute the more acidic aspects of her intensity. As a result, the guard had her best season as a professional and played a vital role in helping the Los Angeles Sparks reach the WNBA playoffs.
Toliver and the Sparks begin the Western Conference playoffs Thursday against the San Antonio Silver Stars. In the Eastern Conference, the Connecticut Sun faces the New York Liberty on Thursday night. The other two first-round series, Atlanta against Indiana in the East and defending champion Minnesota versus Seattle in the West, will start Friday.
The former Terrapin enters the playoffs as the Sparks' leading scorer (17.5 points per game) and assist generator (4.9 per game) as she averaged 31.5 minutes and made a career-high 33 starts in 34 games. Toliver also established a personal best in field-goal shooting (49.1 percent).
"She's meant everything to this team," Sparks first-year Coach Carol Ross said. "Of course, she brings a lot of punch on the offensive end. But she's also grown her game a lot. She's much more tuned in to the defensive end. She's also a heck of a passer, and that sometimes gets overlooked.
"She wants to be a great player. To be really great, you've got to come at the game from a place of no fear."
Until this season, Toliver never made more than 17 starts nor averaged more than 11.2 points or 23.6 minutes.
"This year," Toliver said, "is the first year where it's been a breath of fresh air for me."
Meticulous diligence has defined Toliver since she joined the Chicago Sky as the third pick in the 2009 WNBA draft. Toliver attributes her success to "the daily grind of just working hard, trying to out-work people, not being satisfied with where I am and knowing where I want to be," she said.
Toliver maintained that approach when the Sparks traded for her in 2010. Yet the grind was pulverizing her.
"She'd be so hard on herself," Sparks forward DeLisha Milton-Jones said. "She wants to do so well, so badly, that she would dig a deep hole for herself. It was even hard for us as her teammates to help pull her out of it.
"It almost seemed like she was fighting the good we were trying to do for her. She was just so angry and couldn't get past that last mistake that was made — which, in turn, compounded to two, three, four, five mistakes in a row."
Toliver's transformation began during the winter, when she played in Russia for Dynamo Moscow with Mystics forward Crystal Langhorne, a former Maryland teammate.
"It was fun playing with her again," Toliver said. "We always challenged each other in practice every day. I just got back to my roots playing with her, just having fun again."
When Toliver returned to the Sparks, she found a coach in Ross who recognized her need for emotional balance.
"She's been a huge influence on me this year," Toliver said. "She always said, 'Don't give anyone else your power. Don't let anybody take your power away.'
"When I would get upset or be too hard on myself, I'm giving my power to somebody else, whether it's a person or just the environment. I'm not owning it. You've got to play with joy. That's what Coach always says."
Reinforcing Toliver's budding sense of perspective is former Mystics guard Alana Beard, who joined the Sparks after missing two full seasons because of injuries.
"She's very positive," Toliver said. "She also has a new outlook and she shared that with all of us. When you can look at somebody who's living proof, that's contagious."
Toliver's new resilience passed a major test early. In the Sparks' fifth game of the season on May 29, she made the winning shot with 1.1 seconds left after committing a WNBA-record 14 turnovers in a 76-75 victory over Tulsa.
"You've got to forget about the bad, overcome and still want those big moments," Toliver said. "I know I'm going to make mistakes. Nobody can play perfectly. That, right there, just takes pressure off of yourself."
Less self-imposed pressure means greater appreciation for the moment.
"We get to do what everybody else wants to do," Toliver said about playing. "Coach [Ross] harps on that a lot. I've just been trying to enjoy every day and work hard every day because this game doesn't last forever, as a player."
Toliver's struggle between perfection and perspective emerges when she is asked if it hampered her career.
"Absolutely," Toliver said. "I wish . . . but that's what life's about. I've grown significantly. I've dealt with those battles for a reason. It's brought me here."

TJohnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and the gang are back in Jackass 3D, with another set of stunts that are painful to watch, yet extremely funny. It's hard not to get caught up in the joy these guys get out of playing together. And that's the key to this movie--even though Knoxville is 39 here, these are boys playing. The film was shot in 3D--this is no cheap conversion--and it brings you into the action, as when the guys attempt a game of beehive tetherball and the theater itself gets swarmed. Some of the 3D camera operators might not have been ready for Jackass; even one of the veteran cinematographers of the Jackass TV show gets repeatedly ill while he tries to shoot scenes. This film is not for the squeamish when it comes to bodily fluids. The best moments are when one of the guys gets that "How did I get myself into this?" look before attempting a stunt, such as running down a hallway rigged with stun guns and cattle prods. Yes, it's juvenile, and you may have to assure yourself that you still have a brain afterward (if you've read Dostoevsky, remind yourself of that fact), but you can't deny that it's darn funny. --Paige Newman

Mexico seizes top drugs suspect
One of Mexico's most wanted drugs-trafficking suspects, Benjamin Arellano Felix, has been arrested in the city of Puebla.
Mexican army special forces swooped on a house in the city, about 100 km from the capital, early on Saturday.
As well as arresting Benjamin Arellano Felix, they found evidence that his brother, Ramon, had died in a gun battle last month.
Based in Tijuana, the Arellano Felix brothers were among the most feared alleged drugs-traffickers in Mexico and were also wanted by the FBI in the United States.
Benjamin Arellano Felix was captured without a shot, the Mexican justice and defence departments said in a joint statement.
He was taken to a "safe location" in Mexico City, Mexican Defense Secretary Ricardo Clemente Vega Garcia said.
He will face charges in Mexico, but could then be extradited to the United States to face an indictment in the Californian district of San Diego.
At the house where he was arrested, an "altar" to his brother Ramon was discovered.
This appeared to be final proof that the younger brother had indeed been killed in a gun battle with police in the coastal city of Mazatlan on 10 February, the Mexican joint statement said.
Catalogue of violence
John Brown III, deputy administrator of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), told the BBC that the arrest was a "great day for law enforcement".
He said the gang had been responsible for delivering hundreds of tons of drugs to southern California, from where it was distributed throughout the US.
He added that the DEA would now have to be vigilant to prevent some other criminal organisation from moving in on the Arellano Felix turf.
The gang the brothers are believed to have led is suspected of over 300 murders.
Victims include the Roman Catholic Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo, shot to death at Guadalajara airport in 1993 after the gunmen apparently confused his car with that of a rival.
In one 1996 killing in Tijuana, gunmen shot a state prosecutor more than 100 times outside his home and then drove their van over his body dozens of times.

The Forest Bank
Managing Forests for Future Generations
Indiana is blessed with productive soils, diverse and valuable hardwood trees and a complement of native plants and animals that thrive in well-managed woodlands. The reasons people own woodlands in Indiana are as diverse as the woods themselves.
Whether you own your woodland for hiking, hunting, timber management, wildlife management, bird watching or simply as a family legacy, professional assistance to help with forest management makes woodland ownership even more satisfying.
The Forest Bank is a conservation alternative developed by The Nature Conservancy in Indiana to conserve working woodlands while preserving opportunities for recreation, wildlife habitat, natural beauty and solitude. Woodlands enrolled in the Forest Bank remain private property. Landowners can still hike, hunt, fish, cut firewood and use their woodland just as they normally would as long as the health and growth of timber is not hampered.
Forest Bank Facts
- The Forest Bank program is only available in The Nature Conservancy's priority conservation areas.
- There are currently 43 landowners enrolled in The Forest Bank totaling 4,355 acres in 8 counties in Indiana.
- The Forest Bank is certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council through the Classified Forest and Wildlands Group certification program.
- The Forest Bank provides an economic return from the forest while protecting critical habitat for plants, animals and natural communities.
- The Forest Bank began in 2002 and is backed by over 50 years of land conservation history by The Nature Conservancy in Indiana.
- The Forest Bank gives a landowner access to the expertise of foresters, biologists, botanists, hydrologists and other Nature Conservancy scientists to manage woodlands for biodiversity.
Whether you own your woodland for recreation, timber management, wildlife management or simply as a family legacy, the Forest Bank can enrich the experience. This program, available in designated conservation areas, gives landowners access to the expertise of Nature Conservancy scientists to manage woodlands for biodiversity and habitat conservation.

The use of OLEDs in peripherals is nothing new. The Optimus Maximus keyboard has been around for a while, but will cost you a lot more than your typical standard keyboard. The Optimus may have a new competitor, however, in the form of Foxconn and United Keys.
United Keys is a company specializing in interactive technology, including the use of displays in peripherals. Foxconn is probably best known to consumers for its motherboard and graphics card ranges. These two companies have signed a strategic partnership that will see Foxconn use technology in its products from United Keys.
The first product to be released through the partnership will be a keyboard that has had the standard function keys replaced with OLED displays keys. These can be configured to offer functionality to fit the player's needs. For example, while playing your favorite game, the F1 key becomes your grenade throw, with a picture of a grenade appearing on the key.
The collaboration isn't expected to stop at just keyboards, though, with United Keys holding patents covering mobile phones, games consoles, and even vehicles.
Read more at PR Newswire.
Matthew's Opinion
Unlike the Optimus, which uses all OLED displays for its keys, this new keyboard limits them to the function keys only. That will certainly bypass the cost issue to some extent, which must stop the Optimus seeing more sales.
Foxconn will surely be planning a range of other devices, with a mouse almost a given and possibly even specific games controllers not out of the question. There is certainly a market for improved joysticks for flight simulators, and the popularity of MMO games could also be a market for special peripherals.
The idea of a keyboard changing its single-button functionality based on the application that has the focus on your desktop sounds very useful. If Foxconn can keep the costs down and the software is un-intrusive, then this could be a must-have gadget.

Mark Birley For men, a fragrance that is distinguished, elegant, and civilized.
Not only do these words describe Mark Birley's scent for men, they describe the man himself.
The British socialite (founder of the legendary Annabel's Club in London) has teamed with extraordinary nose Pierre Bourdon to create this rich eau de toilette.
Unmistakably masculine, perfectly balanced, this warm woody blend is never harsh or brash, as befits a gentleman.
A sophisticated classic.

The road to running injury recovery is fraught with obstacles, both physical and mental – both of which have to be overcome if you want to firstly, make a proper and full recovery and secondly because you stand the chance of getting fat and living a slovenly life on the couch recounting your 'golden years' back in the day when you could run more than 10 steps and not have to stop to recover your breath.
My recovery was painfully slow. After coming out of my moon boot (which does NOTHING for the self-confidence levels) I had a pretty rigid ankle brace which I had to wear whenever I was going to do a large amount of walking. At this point my ankle was still swelling badly every afternoon and I had to spend half the day icing and elevating the offending limb in order to make sure I didn't slow the healing process down.
I also had some exercises to do from the physio which at least felt like I was doing something constructive but was barely enough to get my heart-rate up. When my physio told me it was time to start running again I could have kissed him, but before I could conjure up images of me spending an hour on the road really working up a good sweat, he told me I was allowed running 2km, 3 times a week and NO MORE. Have you ever tried running 2km when you are used to running 10km every day? It's like giving someone an ice-cream but taking it away just as they have unwrapped it.
In my second week of running I could increase it by 500m, but still resting for a day between every run – that's 500 metres, can you feel my frustration?? Unfortunately my ankle didn't like the increase in mileage so I had to stick to 3.5km for a while to wait for my ankle to acclimatize again to being run on.
Now, in the very beginning my physio who has obviously worked with ultra distance runners before, asked me if there was a specific race which I had my eye on doing, and wanted to be fit and healthy for – of course the first thing I could think of was the African X which my mom had signed us up for, like 12 months before, which I was working towards – the thought of having to tell my mom to find another partner didn't appeal to me, so I chose that above the Two Oceans and above all the other races in between. The physio said it would be hit-and-miss and he wouldn't guarantee that I'd be ready, I left thinking "I don't think he knows how stubborn I am, and he's never seen my mom angry".
And so, I with the African X in mind, I hobbled down the road to running injury recovery…

thanks alot!!!
I burned 6 dvd (4*wii music and 2* resident evil archives) but all of them write me error 1101 while launching (NeoGamma)

What speed and type of dvds did you use and do you have access to an external hdd cuz that works so much better than burning disc......well for me it does..
verbatim DVD-R, trying burn with Nero StartSmart Essentials (minimal speed) and with ImgBurn with 2x and 4x speed...
we have 1TB hdd but i dont want format it...help me with those dvds :-P
wtf? Can i have incorrect cios or neogamma version? i can launch original game with neogamma (wii sports)
DVD Read Error Bad burn/media or incorrect cios/neogamma version. If you are laready using Verbatim DVD-r burned at 4x, try switching to neogammar6 and cios36rev10. Also this error will persist on newer wiis, meaning that they hav the new D2-3 chip which cannot read backups at all. Only option for them is USB loading.
Last edited by ivimila; 12-04-2009 at 09:36 AM.
do your original gamecube games work for you? Also you have the d2-3 nothing drive. Your only solution and best solution is usb loader. I would purchase a wd my passport 320 gb or wd my book essentials 1 terabyte hard drive (the bulky black hard drive). Try newegg, microcenter, amazon or bestbuy.
ouu yeeaah - "There is a 100% chance the chipset is GC2-D3-2 (v2) with no drive chip."
Wii Drive Chip Database - Serial Number Estimation
so i can only play games from sd card or hdd?
how can i get 4.6GB game on my 16GB SD card? it doesnt work becouse max is 4GB (fat32)
Yes only sd and hdd. I would recommend just buying a external wd passport drive. You'll need wbfs manager 3.0 to format your hdd or sd card. I would recommend if you get a hard drive to partition into 3 different primary active partitions.
One fat32 and two different ntfs partitions and assign them all drives letters. One of the ntfs partitions will be formatted to wbfs in wbfs manager (google it) Also google Partition Wizard or Easus Partition Master free editions.

Ryan's expertise must not be lost to racing - McWilliams
Former Grand Prix ace Jeremy McWilliams believes road racing record breaker Ryan Farquhar will be every bit as successful as a team owner and engine tuner in his sadness-tinged premature retirement.
McWilliams retired from full time competition some five years ago after 13 seasons in MotoGP and a brief spell in British Superbikes, and despite it being under somewhat different circumstances to Farquhar, the Glengormley man is busier than ever, and still very much a part of world motorcycling's 'inner circle'.
He had some reassuring words of advice for Farquhar, his grieving friend, who sadly lost his uncle, Trevor Ferguson, last week at the Manx, which as we now know, was the catalyst for his decision to finally call it a day.
"Ryan will have plenty of opportunities," Jeremy insisted. "Many people will see this as a knee jerk reaction after what happened in the Isle of Man, but he's been talking about it for a while now. We actually discussed it in Australia two years ago. Personally, I'm glad he's not going to be racing 60 or 70 times a year on public roads. He has nothing left to prove, so the time is right," said McWilliams.
Having ridden for Farquhar's KMR Kawasaki team at this year's North West 200, McWilliams is in no doubt about Ryan's leadership qualities.
"You know when you ride a bike prepared by Ryan Farquhar, you don't need to look near it or put a spanner on it – that's why I rode for him at the North West 200," Jeremy stressed. "Outside of that he has some great ideas and it's not like he's stepping out of racing completely. His success with the Supertwins' class will also bring him a lot of business.
"It remains to be seen what he will do. But for now he just has to sit back and look at the opportunities he's opened up to himself through racing. And for me that's either running a team or tuning and preparing very, very good motorcycles for other racers."

This is far from the first time we are hearing about a car dock for the Nexus One, but this is the first time that it has been pictured. That and, perhaps more importantly that dock is now available for purchase. And its probably hard to argue that this dock combined with the Google Maps Navigation app (on updated Android phones) will make a nice combination. Anyway, as of now you can head on over to the Nexus One Store with Google and purchase a dock of your very own. The purchase price — $55. In addition to holding your Nexus One and attaching it to the windshield, the dock is also touting features such as built-in speaker, built-in Bluetooth, quick access to voice commands and the ability to charge your Nexus One battery.

Assessing potential impact of avian influenza on poultry in West Africa: a spatial equilibrium model analysis
"In this paper, the authors analyze the potential economic impacts of avian influenza (AI) in West Africa, taking Nigeria as an example. They find that, depending on the size of the affected areas, the direct impact of the spread of AI along the two major migratory bird flyways would be the loss of about 4 percent of national chicken production. However, the indirect effect—consumers' reluctance to consume poultry if AI is detected, causing a decline in chicken prices—is generally larger than the direct effect. The study estimates that Nigerian chicken production would fall by 21 percent and chicken farmers would lose US$250 million of revenue if the worst-case scenario occurred. The negative impact of AI would be unevenly distributed in the country, and some states and districts would be seriously hurt. This study is based on a spatial equilibrium model that makes use of the most recent spatial distribution data sets for poultry and human populations in West Africa. The study shows that, while most of the attention has focused on preventing global influenza pandemic, preventive measures are also needed at the national, subnational, and local levels, because AI could potentially have a huge negative impact on the poultry industry and the livelihood of smallholder farmers in many regions in West Africa.."

Configure NetworkManager OpenVPN - Import Configuration Fails
This is my first post to LinuxQuestions, and it is a bit of a tricky one, but here it goes.
I've been trying to figure out how to "import" a configuration into NetworkManager for OpenVPN. However it appears that NetworkManager has its own configuration format.
What I would ultimately like to do is take an previously defined openVPN configuration file (that works on the command line using openvpn --config openvpn.conf), and import that into NetworkManager. My configuration is using Password with Certificates (TLS).
At the moment I am getting what appear to be gtk related error messages when I attempt to import my openvpn.conf file. With an error message regarding the configuration option ca.
Has anyone else run into this and possibly found a solution?
I am running
- Fedora 11 (kernel 188.8.131.52-217.2.3.fc11.i586)
- NetworkManager-glib-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.i586
- NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.i586
- NetworkManager-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.i586
- openvpn-2.1-0.32.rc15.fc11.i586
- NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0.99-1.fc11.i586
Yea, I found that too. In short, the network-manager openvpn bits are buggy. Here's one relevant bugzilla entry:
There are others out there specifically about importing, too -- which last I checked, was confirmed to not work.
Has anyone successfully imported an openVPN configuration into NetworkManager?
My VPN uses PEM/CRT too -- I had no luck. In a way, it's okay, though. You probably want to VPN regardless of what physical network network-manager is copulating over. I found it quite satisfactory just to run the openvpn daemon as a system service with a static config in /etc/openvpn (or whatever.) Rarely will I have to /etc/init.d/openvpn restart or something of the like. Not quite as slick as it would be *were the network manager openvpn extension functional*, but not an all-together unappealing technical solution: namely, it works.

A Comprehensive Study of Existing Multicast Routing Protocols Used in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are collection of mobile hosts linked wirelessly with no fixed communications or central supervision. The mobile hosts are self-organized and can be deployed everywhere and at any time. One of the major applications of MANETs is military and disaster recovery. These applications demand for proper communication and coordination among the mobile host. This is achieved with the help of multicasting. Multicasting plays an important role in mobile ad hoc networks. Multicasting is more beneficial than multiple unicast in a bandwidth-constrained ad hoc networks. In this paper, the authors made a comprehensive study on existing multicast routing protocols.

Chapter 6 : SIRIUSly Confused
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I was on vacation! :)
Remus Lupin was NOT happy. He had moved into Number 12, Grimmauld Place on Dumbledores orders. Sirius Black had recently moved into his old house again, because Albus said it was the safest place for him to stay in hiding at the moment. Dumbledore also thought that it might be a good idea for Remus to stay there as well, to make sure Sirius didnt do anything reckless.
It had been a little over a year since Sirius had almost had his name cleared. (If only that stupid little rat hadnt run off like the coward it was)
Remus and Sirius had always been good friends, and like all good friends, they usually were either having a good laugh or a good fight. Remus was not happy this morning. It was early, he wasnt sure exactly how early, but he did know that it was to early for him to be awake. Apparently Sirius disagreed. He had transformed into his dog form, and was barking outside of Remus bedroom door.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? Lupin yelled as he got out of bed and went to open the door.
When he heard the yelling, Sirius knew that he had gotten his friends attention, so he changed back into his human form. He was suddenly face to face with a very angry and tired looking Remus Lupin.
Well good morning to you too, Sunshine!
Cut the crap Sirius, what do you want?
Arent we a Patronus full of happiness this morning? Sirius grinned. Annoying Remus was one of his favorite things to do!
Lupin gave Sirius a glare, but Sirius just kept grinning.
So, im bored. I was wondering if you wanted to play a game of Wizards Chess? The loser could pay for Harrys birthday presents! What do you think? Brilliant right?
Remus looked like he was about to explode, and he was trying very hard to keep is voice calm. Harrys birthday was last week, and I already got him a nice book as a present.
Oh, right. Sirius sighed. Well we could still play a game of chess, what do you say?
That was it, Lupin snapped. I SAY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOUR BLOODY WIZARDS CHESS, AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR- Before he could finish his threat, the whole house began to shake violently. When the mini earthquake was over, both men had found themselves on the floor.
Gosh Moony! You didnt have to cause an earthquake! All you had to say was: I dont think that I could ever beat someone so handsome and dreamy at chess.
Remus rolled his eyes as he stood up.
FILTHY BLOOD TRAITORS! IN MY HOUSE?! UNGRATEFUL, DISGUSTING- Came a thundering voice from down the hall.
Oh, thanks a lot Moony! Sirius said sarcastically as he ran to shut his mothers portrait up. Remus just shrugged as he went back in his room and shut the door.
Sirius raced down the hall in order to silence his mothers screams.
Shut it, you old hag! Sirius very forcefully closed the curtains around the portrait. Though the screaming of insults stopped, Sirius wasnt met with the silence that he had expected. He heard a soft crying that he was sure was coming from the kitchen. Sirius took out his wand and followed the sounds of the crying. Sure enough, he found himself in the kitchen. He looked under the table and found the source of the sobbing. There was a four year old little girl sitting on the floor under the table. she was softly crying to herself, and she kept saying Daddy over and over again.
Lily looked up when she heard Sirius walk into the kitchen. Daddy? she asked, hoping that it was Harry. When she saw that the stranger wasnt her daddy, she started crying even harder.
No, dont cry! Sirius quickly lowered his wand, deciding that a four year old little girl couldnt be a threat. Shh! Dont cry! Im not going to hurt you! Sirius picked the girl up off of the floor, and held her in his arms. Lily started to calm down a little bit, and she eventually stopped crying.
My name is Sirius, whats your name?
Lily. The little girl whispered.
Thats a pretty name. I used to have a friend named Lily. She had red hair just like you. Sirius walked up the stairs and down the hall towards Remus room. He softly knocked on the door.
Moony, this is important! We have a little....situation. He finished as he looked at the little girl in his arms.
Remus roughly opened the door. WHAT DO YOU WANT? I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY A GAME OF WIZARDS- Oh! Remus caught sight of Lily, who had buried her head in Sirius shoulder.
Its okay Lily, this is my friend. His name is Moony. He just gets a grumpy in the morning.
Remus gave Sirius a questioning look.
Moony, this is my friend Lily. I found her under the kitchen table.
Lily. Thats a pretty name. Remus smiled.
The little girl lifted her head off of Siriuss shoulder and looked at Remus.
Do you know where my daddy is?
Moony and I will help you find your daddy. Sirius assured Lily. She smiled at him.
Siryoos! Lily exclaimed happily, and gave the man a hug.
Sirius looked at Remus, Close enough. he said with a shrug.
Okay Lily, Remus looked the little girl in the eyes. What is your daddys name?
Lily looked at him as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Daddy!
Right, but what do other people call your daddy?
Lily scrunched her face in confusion.
What does your mum call your daddy? Remus explained.
Well, when she is mad at him she calls him a stubborn arse.
Sirius laughed out loud and Remus tried hard not to grin.
Ummm, okay. What does she call him when she isnt mad? Remus asked.
Harry? Your dads name is Harry? Sirius exclaimed in surprise. A little girl named Lily, with a father named Harry?
Do you know where he is? Lily asked expectantly.
I only know one person named Harry, and hes only just turned fifteen last week, so its pretty safe to say that he doesnt have a secret daughter. Remus chuckled to himself, But if you tell us your daddys last name, I can go down to the ministry and try to find him.
Good idea Moony! Whats your full name Lily?
Lily Luna Potter.
Remus fainted.
Ummm, Remus? Sirius tentatively poked his friends face, and finally came to the conclusion that he had in fact fainted. Sirius took out his wand and pointed it at the man on the ground. Rennervate!
Remus gripped his head tightly in his hands. Owwww! Did I just faint?
Either that, or you just fell backwards because you thought it might be fun. Sirius replied with a grin.
Remus glared at his friend. And you just let me fall and hit my head? I probably have a concussion! Sirius stopped grinning, and got a sheepish look on his face.
So do you know where my daddy is or not? Lily cut in, upset that they had obviously forgotten her presences.
Both of the adults eyes snapped to Lily, remembering what had caused Remus to faint.
Sirius picked Lily up and sat her on the edge of Remus bed. He then crouched down in front of her, so that they were face to face. Remus watched from the floor, he was still sitting from when he had fainted.
Are you saying that your daddy is Harry James Potter? Sirius asked in a serious voice. (No pun intended)
Lily nodded nervously. Is that bad?
Sirius turned and locked eyes with Remus. They both shared the same expression: a mix of confusion, shock, and more confusion.
You dont think that he could really have a kid do you? SIrius asked Remus.
I dont know, I mean, I dont think so. How old are you Lily?
Four. Said Lily proudly, as she held up four fingers.
There is no way that this is Harrys kid! Sirius exclaimed. He would have been eleven when she was born! There is no way. He turned towards Lily again. Are you sure that Harry James Potter is your dad? Fifteen year old Harry James Potter?
Lily looked thoughtful, Well, I know that his name is Harry James Potter, but I am not sure how old he is. He says that Mummies and Daddies dont like to talk about how old they are.
Bloody Merlin! Sirius laid down on the floor. Harry has a daughter?
No, there are probably a lot of Harry James Potters in Britain. Its not like its an uncommon name. Remus got up off the floor and picked Lily up in his arms.
Youre right, there probably are a lot of people named Harry James Potter that live in Britain. But you and I both know that there is only one Harry Potter that is a wizard.
Remus knew that his friend was right- there was only one wizard in all of Britain named Harry James Potter, but he had to stay reasonable about the situation. Harry, a father? There was just no way.
Lets take Lily to the Burrow, thats where Harry is right now. Maybe he knows something about this that we dont.
Yeah, that he has a secret love child. Sirius said as he stood up.
Harry doesnt have a secret love child! Remus was 90% sure of it.
I guess we will just have to find out when we get there. Moony, can you take me Side-Along Apparition? Im pretty shaken up about this, and I dont want to Splinch myself.
Remus rolled his eyes and grabbed Sirius arm. With a crack, the three of them Apparated to the Burrow.

OWASP University Challenge
OWASP AppSec conferences invite university teams (contestants) to the so-called OWASP University Challenge! The University Challenge is a competition among teams comprised of university students that will be held during the training days of the larger OWASP AppSec conferences (AppSec US, AppSec EU, …). There is no admission fee for the University Challenge – participation in the conference is possible for free. During the University Challenge teams will solve mission style security challenges using the Hacking-Lab framework. The OWASP University Challenge could be limited to 8 teams, depending on available space and budget. Teams will consist of 4-8 students, with one team per university. All team openings are on a first come first serve basis. If multiple teams are received from the same university the second team will be put on a wait list. All team members must be registered. Registration for the University Challenge event is free. Food and beverages will be provided during the challenge and all participants will get an OWASP University Challenge t-shirt. Of course, the first three winning teams will get some small prizes (to be announced).
The OWASP University Challenge is a two day attack and defend event during the AppSec conferences training days! University / Student teams can compete solving hack challenges and defending insecure applications.

Marketing Specialty Hogs: A Comparative Analysis of Two Firms from Iowa
We study business organization and coordination of specialty-market hog production using a comparative analysis of two Iowa firms marketing niche pork. We analyze each firm's management of five key organizational challenges: planning and logistics, quality assurance, process verification and management of "credence attributes," business structure, and profit sharing. Although each firm is engaged in essentially the same activity, there are substantial differences across the two firms in the way production and marketing are coordinated. These differences are partly explained by the relative size and age of each firm, but also by the formal organizational separation between marketing and production activities in one of the firms.
