Malathion lotion contains 0.005 g of malathion per mL in a vehicle of isopropyl alcohol (78%), terpineol, dipentene, and pine needle oil. The chemical name of malathion is (±) - [(dimethoxyphosphinothioyl) - thio] butanedioic acid diethyl ester. Malathion has a molecular weight of 330.36, represented by CHOPS, and has the following chemical structure:
Malathion is an organophosphate agent which acts as a pediculicide by inhibiting cholinesterase activity in vivo. Inadvertent transdermal absorption of malathion has occurred from its agricultural use. In such cases, acute toxicity was manifested by excessive cholinergic activity, i.e., increased sweating, salivary and gastric secretion, gastrointestinal and uterine motility, and bradycardia (see OVERDOSAGE ). Because the potential for transdermal absorption of malathion from malathion lotion is not known at this time, strict adherence to the dosing instructions regarding its use in children, method of application, duration of exposure, and frequency of application is required.
Malathion lotion is indicated for patients infected with Pediculus humanus capitis (head lice and their ova) of the scalp hair.
Malathion lotion is contraindicated for neonates and infants because their scalps are more permeable and may have increased absorption of malathion. Malathion lotion should also not be used on individuals known to be sensitive to malathion or any of the ingredients in the vehicle.
Keep out of reach of children. Close eyes tightly during product application. If accidentally placed in the eye, flush immediately with water. Use only on scalp hair.
There are no special laboratory tests needed in order to use this medication.
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis and impairment of fertility have not been studied with malathion lotion (0.5% pharmaceutical grade malathion). However, following long-term oral administration of technical grade malathion to rodents via dietary supplementation, increased incidences of hepatocellular neoplastic lesions were observed in B6C3F1 mice dosed for 18 months at malathion doses greater than 1500 mg/kg/day, and in female F344 rats dosed for 2 years at malathion doses greater than 400 mg/kg/day. These tumors occurred only in association with severe hepatic toxicity and chronic suppression of acetylcholinesterase activity, or at doses causing excessive mortality. Based on body surface area, doses at which carcinogenic effects were observed in rodents following life-time exposures to malathion were approximately 14- to 26-fold greater than the maximum dose anticipated in a 10 kg child following a single use of malathion lotion, assuming 100% bioavailability. Actual systemic exposures are expected to be less than 10% of the administered dose.
The malathion of greater than pharmaceutical-grade purity used in malathion lotion has not been tested for genotoxicity. The technical-grade malathion (95% pure) was found to be negative in Salmonella typhimurium, equivocally positive in the mouse lymphoma cell assay, 577 and positive in in vitro chromosomal aberration and sister chromatid exchange assays. Fifteen separate in vitro gene mutation studies with malathion of unknown purity have reported negative results, while three studies reported malathion to be mutagenic in bacterial cells. Both technical grade (94–96.5%) and purified (98-99%) malathion have been reported to cause chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in vitro in human and hamster cell lines. In vivo chromosomal aberration and micronucleus studies of technical-grade malathion are reported to be positive, whereas an in vivo chromosomal aberration study of >99% pure malathion was reported to be negative. Furthermore, mice exposed to malathion in their drinking water for 7 weeks demonstrated no evidence of chromosome damage in bone marrow cells, spermatogonia, or primary spermatocytes. Lack of details makes independent evaluation of the results of these assays impossible. Ashby and Purchase have suggested that impurities may be responsible for some of the observed genetic activity of malathion.
Reproduction studies performed with malathion in rats at doses over 180 fold greater than those anticipated in a 60 kg adult (based on body surface area and assuming 100% bioavailability) revealed no evidence of impaired fertility.
There was no evidence of teratogenicity in studies in rats and rabbits at doses up to 900 mg/kg/day and 100 mg/kg/day malathion, respectively. A study in rats failed to show any gross fetal abnormalities attributable to feeding malathion up to 2,500 ppm (~ 200 mg/kg/day) in the diet during a three - generation evaluation period. These doses were approximately 40 to 180 times higher than the dose anticipated in a 60 kg adult (based on body surface area and assuming 100% bioavailability). Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human responses, this drug should be used (or handled) during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Malathion in an acetone vehicle has been reported to be absorbed through human skin to the extent of 8% of the applied dose. However, percutaneous absorption from the malathion lotion, 0.5% formulation has not been studied, and it is not known whether malathion is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when malathion lotion is administered to (or handled by) a nursing mother.
The safety and effectiveness of malathion lotion in children less than 6 years of age has not been established via well-controlled trials.
Malathion has been shown to be irritating to the skin and scalp. Accidental contact with the eyes can result in mild conjunctivitis.
It is not known if malathion lotion has the potential to cause contact allergic sensitization.
Consideration should be given, as part of the treatment program, to the high concentration of isopropyl alcohol in the vehicle.
Malathion, although a weaker cholinesterase inhibitor than some other organophosphates, may be expected to exhibit the same symptoms of cholinesterase depletion after accidental ingestion orally. If accidentally swallowed, vomiting should be induced promptly or the stomach lavaged with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution.
Severe respiratory distress is the major and most serious symptom of organophosphate poisoning requiring artificial respiration, and atropine may be needed to counteract the symptoms of cholinesterase depletion.
Repeat analyses of serum and RBC cholinesterase may assist in establishing the diagnosis and formulating a long - range prognosis.
Further treatment is generally not necessary. Other family members should be evaluated by a physician to determine if infested, and if so, receive treatment.
Two controlled clinical trials evaluated the pediculicidal activity of malathion lotion. Patients applied the lotion to the hair and scalp in quantities, up to a maximum of 2 fl. oz., sufficient to thoroughly wet the hair and scalp. The lotion was allowed to air dry and was shampooed with Prell shampoo 8 to 12 hours after application. Patients in both the malathion lotion group and in the vehicle group were examined immediately after shampooing, 24 hours after, and 7 days after for the presence of live lice. Results are shown in the following table:
The presence or absence of ova at day 7 was not evaluated in these studies. The presence or absence of live lice or ova at 14 days following treatment was not evaluated in these studies. The residual amount of malathion on hair and scalp is unknown.

The Archbishop of Toledo, Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera, said this week that Spain's memory and identity "like it or not" were forged by the Christian faith.
In a ceremony in which he was named a member of the Royal Academy of History, the cardinal gave a speech in which he pointed out that the Visigoth period saw the creation in Spain of "a heritage, a memory and an identity" that are "inseparable" from and made possible by Christianity.
The cardinal said that reflecting on Spain's origins helps to understand the past as well as to look towards the future. Such reflection leads to the question, "Will the Spain of tomorrow be Christian?" he asked. "She will be if she sticks to her roots, if she keeps her memory and her identity alive," the cardinal replied.
"We could also ask ourselves just as radically: Will she be Spain if she ceases to be Christian, if she renounces the memory of her origins that gave rise to her existence, that is, if she renounces her roots and Christian foundations," the cardinal wondered.
He noted that the dominating culture of the moment seeks to relegate the historical truth to oblivion and to ignore it. "But to forget this history or to distort it, to eradicate it or let our roots die would be to cease to be who we are, to disappear and to therefore lack any future."
After his discourse, Luis Suarez Fernandez, a scholar at the Royal Academy of History, delivered a response, affirming that in his discourse, the cardinal "discovers the very roots of Spain, a nation to which Europe is greatly indebted."

"Goodby, UWB, we hardly knew you", or: What happened to ultrawideband?
5 comments post a comment
UWB was supposed to be the next big thing, but things didn't quite work out as promoted
This week we read another story of the apparent demise of ultrawideband, "Bluetooth group drops ultrawideband, eyes 60 GHz". Not long ago, UWB was going to be the next big thing. Now, as they say, "oh, well, never mind . . . "
So what happened? Why has UWB crashed and burned?
I have no single theory or special insight; such punditry is cheap and easy and meaningless. But I suspect it was a combination, in hard-to-figure proportions, of several factors:
- It's not clear what actual market need UWB served
- A lot of the UWB enthusiasts were in it for their own self-interest (selling ICs, and related software), rather than to meet genuine end-user needs.
- Sometimes, the market simply can't handle another specification or proposal, even if well-intentioned; there's "new-initiative" overload and active resistance or, at the least, passive indifference.
- As with so many developments, UWB was overhyped by its proponents, and yet under-delivered. The message seemed to be "whatever your high-speed wireless connectivity problem, UWB is the answer." But, you have to read the "is" in that phrase as really being "may be", since there are a lot of unknowns here.
- Anytime you are dealing with wideband signals, and short pulses, you have regulatory issues on top of EMI/RFI and co-interference concerns that can't be ignored or waved away easily.
- There were (and still are) genuine technical, component, and operational issues related to a solid, reliable UWB design and protocol that can't be ignored or dismissed simply by wishful thinking.
- And we can't ignore that the costs of UWB were likely to be higher than the market could accept.

Many rally tracks throughout the UK use a variety of dirt, tarmacadam, gravel, snow and ice surfacing types to complete their multi-terrain courses. Whilst surfaces such as dirt and gravel do not regularly need maintaining and replacing, often times the tarmacadam area of the track needs regular attention to ensure that the course is usable all year round.
Tarmac surfacing might be built in several organisations and it can improve safety issues as a result of bright colours attainable. All of the coloured tarmacadam spec can change the expenses of the surface. We highly advised track owners to have a tarmac master tint surfacing since its resilient and long lasting. Master tint is usually applied on roadways because it presents very good visibility. Polyurethane anti-slip paint might also be put on surfacing, to clearly show the bends in the rally track.
Generally tarmacadam prices can differ, but the nice thing about coloured macadam would be that it needs a small level of upkeep servicing. Rainwater is able to drain through home-based tarmac surfacing easily, since it is a permeable surface that prevents against water logging and flooding. Race tracks may additionally have a coloured macadam facility, simply because this kind of surfacing gives good quality driving properties. In the event an anti-slip colour coat is used, it can strengthen the non-slip qualities. Should you want the paint to last, we recommend that the flooring is cleaned professionally before. Once the surface is dry, markings can be added. Line markings can also be added educational institutions and other facilities so you're able to utilize one area for a variety of race types.
To remain within your budget it is crucial that you consider all the factors that can cause the total price of the surface to differ. Some of the factors which may alter the price are: the size, overall condition of the court, surface type and then any extra equipment. As race tracks often differ in size and requirements, this can completely influence the end price of these works.
Thank you for checking out our latest post, if you would like to learn more regarding these surfaces types please let us know and we will be happy to write another piece about them!Learn More
There are two primary forms of rally racing: the stage rallies and the road rallies. Starting in the 1960s, the stage rallies were considered the practiced division of rally racing. The stage rallies are solely established on up-front speed above stretches of path closed to other traffic, varying from asphalt highland passes to bumpy forest tracks, from the freezing snow to the scorching desert, every single route selected to offer pleasurable challenge for the team and an assessment of the vehicle's performance and dependability. The enjoyable and random nature of the phases, and that these cars are somehow closely associated to highway cars, means that the greater events attract gigantic viewer attention, particularly in the Asia, Europe, and Oceania areas.
Road rallies, on the other hand, are the original form of the sport. These rallies venues on the highways that flows to the normal traffic to where the importance does not depend on the complete speed but it is more on the accuracy on timekeeping, direction-finding, and on car dependability, more frequently on the demanding roads and also long distances. These rallies are now predominantly amateur events. Road rallies have different types to assess the accurateness, navigation, or problem-solving.
The common types of these road rallies are regularity rally or the TSD (time-speed-distance) rally which tests the capability with the purpose of driving each sector of a passage in a definite time at a definite typical speed. The rally is typically conducted on municipal roads, but now and then includes off-road and track sectors. Competitors typically compete in squads composed of an unprofessional driver and a guide. Groups generally start a regularity rally at fixed breaks, generating a field spread during the course. Another type is the 12-car rally, which is regularly run by motor clubs as a humble and firmly substandard form of the rally racing. Other types include the Monte-Carlo-type rallies which test map-reading and scheduling, and some are the gimmick rallies which test judgment and observation. Some of the first rallies called trials still exist in this present time, though the word is generally used to the professional method of motor-powered sport of mounting as far as you can up slippery and steep peaks. Also, these organizations or gatherings of car enthusiasts with their vehicles are also termed rallies.
Rally racing is a very important sport at the grass roots of motorsport. People who are interested in being involved in rally racing are very much encouraged to be a part of their very own local car clubs. Club rallies (regularity rallies or road rallies), on the other hand, are done on the public roads to test direction-finding and teamwork. These abilities are significant essentials compulsory for anyone who desires to progress to higher events. Short special stage exercise events on municipal roads are planned by their home-grown clubs in some countries, with the permission, of course, from the local police department, the public using the road, and the road authorities. The community road is closed during these events by the organizers or the police.Learn More
The term race itself gives you the adrenaline rush, it is all about the speed and the fun riding in your buddy, a car that would make you the future champion. Given the fact, most especially for the big boys, the high performance asphalt driving is a sweet treat, some kind of a therapeutic and unwinding activity after a long days of working. Rally is being done in the wilderness, or in a narrow and open dirt road, racing with all the luck, the faith and the rush with passenger that is required to cling on your side for the whole time of your adventure. It is required to have the sliding, and the skidding tricks for increase of speed in these loose type of surfaces, trying not just to look fancy, but giving you all the chill and the rush t win the game, that is the real factor each contender is after.

A formal rally program at least a five day of exposing yourself into learning, will give you sufficient preparation for the tough road. This may come with a steel wheel set that are fitted in a snow tires that may be used in both snow and mud schools, a roll hoop, a 4 point belts, a skid plate and an ABS system that is giving you the most effective learning. The learning may come into any other earning techniques such as inside school room, all that really matters is your determination for a winning game. The versatility f your feet is one of the great factors that may affect your driving skills, in taking some rally courses, you will be able to learn from A to Z of how this game is being played.

We all know that being a driver corresponds with lots of responsibilities, hard work, money, and concentration, yet being one gives you such a rewarding experience the opportunity of driving in the extreme form of motorsport, the Rally racing. There are several things to be considered first when you want to indulge yourself in this kind of sport, not compromising your own safety driving through a tough road.
First thing you must do is to check out the sport in its actual action, having just a simple role that may involve yourself in the sport with the purpose of familiarization, you may be a volunteer in an event that will give you the opportunity to meet some teams in person, the officials, and exposing yourself in the use of all the gears, get a general information just by talking and asking questions with them of what it really takes to be a rally contender.
Never forget to take note the rule of the book for some restrictions that are being implied and outlined, making everybody aware of what they really need before you will decide buying or building your rally car, there are several specifications and rules needed to be considered for the sake of your own safety in driving. It is then recommended by experts for you to buy an already built, or log booked that is stating the legalization aspect from the sanctioning body of the rally sport. Building your own without considering any of these precaution will lead you to future conflicts and might cost you more money and mistakes. Unless you are confident enough of your car building skills, you may have it all personalized, but gradually checking whether you are doing the right stuff and implementing proper and legal rules with your car. This is a legal kind of sport that you yourself as a driver has all the given responsibilities and policies to follow not to put all the effort of your game into vain.
Some may require a two wheel driving car for you to start, with this kind of car, you will be provided enough speed teaching you how to become a better rally racer. After purchasing a car, you will then move to getting a license, a competitor's license to be specific, this is your ticket in joining the next rally event on your area, ensuring all your legal compliance and safety precautions, you are now ready to take the challenge of the long road. Together with all these stuff, the sport may require you to have a deep strength and courage in handling fast driving, for this is not all about the speed, this sport is a logical one, composed with sets of challenges that might need you to have proper focus, and an active mind all the time. If you think you have all it takes to become the next rally champion, start the fun now and enjoy the extreme ride of your life.Learn More
Let's all start about where and when this kind of sport started, because knowing a brief history of something you are passionate about will give you another kind of perspective towards it. Starting with the Pre war Era, the term rally dated first in January 1911, having the first event known to be the Monte Carlo Rally, so on, the term was used until late 1920s. The rally racing, known before as rallying may possibly traced way back to 1894 in a Rouen Horseless Carriage competition held in Paris, France. It was then sponsored by a Parris newspaper, attracting the public interest towards the sport and created entries from those times' leading manufacturers. Prizes were presented based on the reports of the observers who were assigned through riding each contender's car, awarded with the jury, the very first recorded winner was Albert Lemaitre, who was able to finish a winner but his steam powered vehicle was said to be an ineligible kind for the said competition.
Later on then introduced to several cities, not just in France but for almost all European Countries, with the following features that may be still being practiced in some modern rallies; which an individual is assigned in starting the time, not a head to head but is actually running against the lock, the time is the ones controlling the points of either be an entry or the exit of the towns, road notes and books, and facing obstacles such as traffic, dust, pedestrians, and even the farm animals found along the way.
During the Interwar years, rallying was then on its idle mode due to the First World War, just until the year 1924, continuing the fun in the aftermath of the war, having again an annual event that remained regular that brought the sport into its World Rally Championship. With the help of the tough winters, this sport became the premier European rally which gathered a bunch of participants at all most 300 or more.
Rallying sport had its slow development even after that major war, but it didn't stop the adventure, making 1950s as the sport's golden age for a long distance rally. Hosted by the French and Austrian Alpines, the Monte Carlo Rally, and the Liege, establishing themselves as classics quickly for the new events held during their times. Lots of countries joined the race, and the RAC had their return in 1951, making them gain their International status, but suddenly, due to it short maneuverability tests and map reading navigations in almost a decade, made them unknown to some foreign crew. The European Championship was then made by FIA in 1953 calling it a Touring championship held in eleven events, making the German national, Helmut Polensky the pioneering champion.
Soon the, followed up by intercontinental rallies that made the sport known to all the corners of the world, passing the adventure to the modern people who manifested almost the same ability and passion for the sport.Learn More

Easily manage WordPress with WP-CLI
In this tutorial:
If you run a WordPress website you can use WP-CLI or WordPress Command Line Interface to manage your site. This can make quick work out of updating plugins, setting up multisites, and much more without a web-browser.
If you have a lot of WordPress sites to manage, or would just like to become more efficient in your common WordPress tasks, learning to use WP-CLI is a great time investment.
A common scenario a WordPress administrator might run into, is updating all of the plugins across all of their various WordPress installations. With WP-CLI it's as easy as typing: wp plugin update --all
Install WordPress WP-CLI
To use WP-CLI you just need SSH access, PHP 5.3.2 or later, and at least WordPress 3.5.2.
First you need to download wp-cli.phar using either wget or curl after you login with SSH.
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Using wget if you get an error about the SSL certificate mis-match between www.github.com and raw.githubusercontent.com domains, you can skip the certificate check to download the file with:
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Then test WP-CLI directly with PHP with this command:
php wp-cli.phar --info
You should see output similar to:
PHP binary: /usr/local/bin/php
PHP version: 5.4.28
php.ini used: /usr/local/lib/php.ini
WP-CLI root dir: phar://wp-cli.phar
WP-CLI global config:
WP-CLI project config:
WP-CLI version: 0.15.1
Next you'll want to make the WP-CLI file executable and move it to your path:
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
Now you can simply use wp at the command line to access WP-CLI:
wp --info
Setup bash tab completion for WP-CLI
A great time saving feature of command line interfaces is using tab completion to quickly type in commands. You can add the ability to use tab completion for WP-CLI by setting it up in your local ~/.bash_profile file.
Download the WP-CLI tab completion file to your server.
curl -O https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/raw/master/utils/wp-completion.bash
wget https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/raw/master/utils/wp-completion.bash
Using wget if you get an error about the SSL certificate mis-match between www.github.com and raw.githubusercontent.com domains, you can skip the certificate check to download the file with:
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/raw/master/utils/wp-completion.bash
Move the WP-CLI tab completion file to your home directory:
mv wp-completion.bash ~/
Now edit your ~/.bash_profile file to include the WP-CLI tab completion file:
vi ~/.bash_profile
Add this line to the bottom of your ~/.bash_profile file:
source ~/wp-completion.bash
Now save this file
Back at the command line, make sure to source your ~/.bash_profile file with this:
source ~/.bash_profile
Now just type wp at the prompt, and hit Tab twice to see all the tab completions you just setup:
root@server [/home/example/public_html]# wp
cache comment eval help menu plugin role shell super-admin transient
cap core eval-file import network post scaffold sidebar term user
cli db export media option rewrite search-replace site theme widget
Using the WordPress WP-CLI to manage a site
Now that you have WP-CLI installed on your server, you can begin using it to manage your WordPress installs.
The first thing you need to do is navigate to the directory of a WordPress install:
cd ~example/public_html/wordpress
Now you can have WP-CLI spit back options for the type of activity you'd like to do. For instance if you'd like to manage the plugins of your WordPress install you can simply run:
wp plugin
You'll get a nice help listing of all the things you can do with plugins:
usage: wp plugin activate <plugin>... [--network]
or: wp plugin deactivate [<plugin>...] [--all] [--network]
or: wp plugin delete <plugin>...
or: wp plugin get <plugin> [--field=<field>] [--format=<format>]
or: wp plugin install <plugin|zip|url>... [--version=<version>] [--force] [--activate] [--activate-network]
or: wp plugin is-installed <plugin>
or: wp plugin list [--<field>=<value>] [--field=<field>] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>]
or: wp plugin path [<plugin>] [--dir]
or: wp plugin search <search> [--per-page=<per-page>] [--field=<field>] [--fields=<fields>] [--format=<format>]
or: wp plugin status [<plugin>]
or: wp plugin toggle <plugin>... [--network]
or: wp plugin uninstall <plugin>... [--no-delete]
or: wp plugin update [<plugin>...] [--all] [--version=<version>] [--dry-run]
See 'wp help plugin <command>' for more information on a specific command.
So let's just first list the currently installed plugins on our WordPress site:
wp plugin list +------+--------+--------+---------+ | name | status | update | version | +------+--------+--------+---------+ +------+--------+--------+---------+
We can see this WordPress install currently has no plugins installed, let's change that:
wp plugin install hello-dolly Installing Hello Dolly (1.6) Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hello-dolly.1.6.zip... Using cached file '/root/.wp-cli/cache/plugin/hello-dolly-1.6.zip'... Unpacking the package... Installing the plugin... Plugin installed successfully. wp plugin install wp-super-cache Installing WP Super Cache (1.4) Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-super-cache.1.4.zip... Unpacking the package... Installing the plugin... Plugin installed successfully. wp plugin list +----------------+----------+--------+---------+ | name | status | update | version | +----------------+----------+--------+---------+ | hello-dolly | inactive | none | 1.6 | | wp-super-cache | inactive | none | 1.4 | +----------------+----------+--------+---------+
We can even take it a step further and go ahead and activate these plugins as well:
wp plugin activate hello-dolly Success: Plugin 'hello-dolly' activated. wp plugin activate wp-super-cache Success: Plugin 'wp-super-cache' activated. wp plugin list +----------------+--------+--------+---------+ | name | status | update | version | +----------------+--------+--------+---------+ | hello-dolly | active | none | 1.6 | | wp-super-cache | active | none | 1.4 | +----------------+--------+--------+---------+
There is a lot more that you can do with WP-CLI and this was just a short intro to get you going. Be sure to check back often as we update our documentation on managing WordPress from the command line!

I would not recommend updating plugins daily. The problem exists in conflicts and upgrades. You want to be able to upgrade the plugins and immediately test to ensure everything in functioning properly. Also, prior to upgrading it's bests practices to backup your site. That way if anything goes wrong in the upgrade, you can restore it accordingly. It really comes down to personal preferences.
2016-01-28 10:28 pm
This is great. Never knew it existed. Is there any compelling reason NOT to put "wp plugin update --all" into a cron job to run daily?
2014-10-22 8:45 am
Managing multiple WordPress websites is a hectic job, as you have to logging to each site and setup/install plugins and settings for each site independently.
Luckily for those well versed to work in command line, they can use WP-CLI to manage multiple WordPress sites with just a few commands. WP-CLI comes with built-in commands specific just to manage WordPress websites.
Through WP-CLI you can install, manage plugins and themes. Control settings such as cron-job, comments etc.

Hello Robert,
It seems like GitHub is using the SSL certificate for www.github.com also on their raw.githubusercontent.com domain, and wget is seeing this mis-match and warning you much like a web-browser would.
You can bypass this in wget as the error message says by using --no-check-certificate:
wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Or you could also use curl which doesn't check the certificate in this way:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Please let us know if you're still having any issues, and thanks for letting us know about this problem so we can update this guide.
- Jacob

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
View Larger Map
One man was killed early Saturday in a shooting inside a Northwest Dallas bar, police said.
The shooting happened just before 2 a.m. at the El Cristal bar on the 10500 block of Harry Hines Boulevard. The victim was dead inside the bar by the time police arrived, they said.
The circumstances of the shooting are unclear and Dallas police released little information. A police report on a related case indicates that investigators obtained surveillance video of a suspect running through the parking lot of a nearby business. Officers retraced the suspect's steps a few hours later and found a glass pipe and a small bag of what appeared to be crystal methamphetamine. It's unclear whether the drugs are related to the shooting.
No arrests have been made in the case. Authorities are still working to confirm the identity of the man who died.

The Great Firewall of China is affecting Bing searches here in the United States.
The Chinese government is known for suppressing "injurious" information within its own borders, but it appears its rigorous standards apply to Chinese-language Bing users elsewhere, too.
Anti-censorship campaigners at FreeWeibo discovered the U.S. version of Bing serves up wildly disparate search results for controversial topics like the Dalai Lama, the Tiananmen Square incident, and software that enables Internet users to circumvent government censorship in China. (Censorship blog Greatfire.org posted a roundup of the results.)
When VentureBeat searched Bing for the Dalai Lama in English, the first result was his official site, followed by news about the Dalai Lama and two related Wikipedia entries. In Chinese, however, a search for the Dalai Lama (达赖喇嘛) returned multiple entries from Baidu Baike, China's heavily censored Wikipedia rival, followed by informative about a documentary by CCTV, China's state-owned television broadcaster. Unlike the English search, the Chinese results didn't include images on the main page.
Microsoft has attributed some issues to an "error in [its] system," but simultaneously denied altering its search results outside China.
"First, Bing does not apply China's legal requirements to searches conducted outside of China," reads a statement from Bing senior director Stefan Weitz provided to Engadget. "Due to an error in our system, we triggered an incorrect results removal notification for some searches noted in the report, but the results themselves are and were unaltered outside of China."
Inside China, Microsoft alters its search results to serve the government's interests. Bing isn't popular in the country, but Microsoft is currently hiring 1,000 new employees to build up its presence in China.
VentureBeat has reached out to the Bing team for comment.
[Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story asserted that Google also censors its search results in China. That is inaccurate; in early 2010, Google announced it was no longer willing to censor searches in China and would pull out of the country completely if necessary. China condemned the decision and blocked many of Google's services.]
Update (9:25 AM pacific): A Bing representative replied with the aforementioned statement from Weitz. We've included his full comments below.
We've conducted an investigation of the claims raised by Greatfire.org.
First, Bing does not apply China's legal requirements to searches conducted outside of China. Due to an error in our system, we triggered an incorrect results removal notification for some searches noted in the report but the results themselves are and were unaltered outside of China.
Second, with regard to the freeweibo.com homepage being absent from Bing search results, our investigation indicates that at some time in the past the page was marked as inappropriate due to low quality or adult content. After review, we have determined the page is acceptable for inclusion in global search results.
Bing aims to provide a robust set of high-quality, relevant search results to our users. In doing so, Bing has extremely high standards that respect human rights, privacy and freedom of expression.
Microsoft is a signatory to the Global Network Initiative, which is an effort by a multi-stakeholder group of companies, civil society organizations (including human rights and press freedom groups), investors and academics to protect and advance freedom of expression and privacy on the Internet. As part of our commitment to GNI, Microsoft follows a strict set of internal procedures for how we respond to specific demands from governments requiring us to block access to content. We apply these principles carefully and thoughtfully to our Bing version for the People's Republic of China.
– Stefan Weitz, Bing senior director

GM just whispered to Spencer a few minutes ago that she didn't know if she could beat Andy in the questions round..
Did I see that GM was giving thumbs up and acting happy to Spencer while Andy was in SR getting the milk? Or did I miss something?
GM also gave a smile and wink to Andy. She is playing both of them. We really dont know from her actions who she will take. I have to believe she is smart enough to take Spencer.
Oh, of course, just as GM and Spencer start to whisper BBAD ends! Ugh, so frustrating!

There's no possible way that Spencer would have thrown that comp, is there?
What's likely to happen if one or the other wins the final HoH?
Yeah, I just hope she wins the 3rd comp no matter what. So long as she wins that 3rd one, then she will be in F2 and at least is guaranteed to get some money out of the deal.
I was so hoping Spencer would win that 2nd one. Andy just really gets on my nerves and seems so selfish. The way he practically ordered GM to cook him dinner was a good example of his selfishnesh. They were all wanting to talk about how the 3rd comp went and he practically ordered her to cook. Uggggggh.
Prior to Comp 2, he was a nervous wreck and not talking much before the comp. Now all of a sudden after his win, he is back to his cockey self and wont shut up.

Design submitted by Sam from Germany.
Sam came up with this brilliant idea of an analog watch with a single line which combines the hour hand and the minute hand. The watch also appears like a simple bracelet.
The display has the same material with the strap, but translucent (to light up when it is too dark). In broad daylight, it just simply looks like someone has just drawn a line on the bracelet.
Time telling is easy as it works like an analog watch. You don't have two watch hands, but only one. Its thick end lays on the hour position, the thin end on the minute position.

"You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers," he told them before holding their hands in silence.
After a few seconds Madeleine's mother handed the Pope one of two photographs of her elder daughter. He placed his hands on it for an instant and then made the sign of the cross on the four-year-old's face and handed it back. "I am praying for the safe return of your daughter. I am praying for you," he told her as she stood with the green and yellow ribbons she has worn in her hair since Madeleine vanished.
According to a source close to the family, he passed the couple five rosaries. The unspoken message could not have plainer: one each for them, for their twins, Sean and Amelie, and one for Madeleine.
The couple did not mention the rosaries at a packed and emotionally charged press conference in the residence of Britain's ambassador to the Holy See.
But Mr McCann said their encounter with the Pope had been more personal than he "could ever possibly have imagined". He said Benedict's "touch, thoughts and words were more tender than we could have hoped". It would help to sustain them "in this most difficult time". His wife could only say that it was a "very emotional but also very positive experience".
For much of the press conference, as on the vast consecrated expanse in front of the basilica, Mrs McCann looked as if she were no more than half a step from the "dark places" to which she had alluded as she struggled to put her experience into words for the media. "The first 72 hours were the worst time for both of us," she said. "It was very hard at that point to get away from all the dark places."
During most of the audience, she kept her eyes tight shut. And when the 35,000 pilgrims gathered in front of St Peter's were told the Pope's blessing was passing "to your children and your loved ones", she and her husband appeared to weep silently with their heads bowed.
Mr McCann confessed afterwards that the visit to Rome had produced a tangle of emotions. "In other circumstances, of course, it would be the highlight [for] any Catholic to meet the Pope," he said. But yesterday's encounter, he said, was "tainted with the very marked realisation that our daughter is still missing".
The McCanns' religious beliefs are central to their struggle to cope with the abduction of Madeleine, who vanished from their holiday apartment at the Mark Warner Ocean Club resort in the Algarve town of Praia da Luz. Last week they visited Portugal's holiest shrine, at Fatima.
Mr McCann was asked if what had happened since the evening of May 3 had had an impact on his religious faith. "One evil act seems to be generating so much good," he replied. "It has certainly restored my faith in humanity."
He made a renewed appeal for help, asking holidaymakers going abroad to take with them a picture of his daughter, and highlighting a link (Madeleine.ceopupload.com) from the website set up to help find Madeleine, which enables those who were in or near Praia da Luz at the time of her disappearance to upload their holiday photographs to help in the hunt for her.
Photographs with people in the background whom "you don't recognise" would be of particular interest, he said. The investigation was still "very active", and the British and Portuguese police had "a huge amount of information". He said: "We know that there could be a breakthrough at any minute. There could be a call to say Madeleine has been found."

WHILE I AGREE WITH THE ASSERTION OF NOTABLE 1920S JOURNALIST WALTER WINCHELL that "Today's gossip is tomorrow's headline," I prefer the more contemporary rendition of columnist Liz Smith, who wrote, "Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress." This relationship between rumors and reports is precarious. Gossip is a powerful force in social and business circles, but when media gets involved, you end up with a full gale. It can sometimes take credit for fueling progress, but generally, gossip does little more than wreak havoc.
Self-storage has been making headlines lately, in some not-so-positive ways. The rumors being generated from the media exposure have caused--I won't say a panic--but certainly a stir throughout the industry. For those unfamiliar with the recent news coverage, here is a summary:
On Sept. 26, the L.A. Times published an article titled "Storage Niche Overpacked," the gist of which was supply is overwhelming demand in our industry. The author refers to Public Storage's "humbling setback" from early this year, when the company was forced to drop prices. He includes quotes from Public Storage President Harvey Lenkin and Shurgard Regional Vice President Jim McNamee admitting an errosion in rates and occupancy. The article paints a dire future for self-storage, professing it too enticing to new investors and officially overbuilt.
Shortly after the Times article, on Oct. 6, CNBC and The Wall Street Journal ran a piece called "Storage Units, the Creeping Menace," in which author M.P. Dunleavey expounded on the social implications of the storage industry, the supposed "wretched trend of excess." She writes, "As self-storage becomes an increasingly indispensable part of consumer culture, there will be less and less incentive for people to examine their acquisition habits." You might think it unreasonable to be concerned about Ms. Dunleavey's issue with the luxury storage provides. But then there's the whole issue of credibility. Roped into her commentary were none other than Michael Kidd, executive director of the Self Storage Association, and Cris Burnam, president of StorageMart.
So what is the real impact of this? I was trained as a journalist, so trust me when I say there is plenty to be upset about here. I doubt Lenkin, McNamee, Kidd or Burnam had the slightest clue of these authors' intentions when they consented to an interview. But that's not the issue. Do we care whether the public views storage as a societal hazard, luring unsuspecting citizens into the den of glut? Not really. Anyone who has ever had need for storage knows its value in a pinch. Commercial users are fully aware of the cost benefits. And if you are one of the guilty, if you use storage as a means of managing luxury, let you be aware of it.
The real issue is the message this sort of press sends to those surrounding the industry, mainly the backers. When self-storage is painted as a suffering breed, red flags go up to investors and financial institutions. Suppliers begin to rethink their marketing strategies. Tire-kickers run screaming (which, some may argue, is not such a bad thing). Owners tighten their purse strings. People start to whisper, "The ship--it's sinking!" The rumor mill starts churning. And there she is folks, running down the street in her red satin dress.
You can't believe everything you read. You can't believe everything you hear, either. As British novelist George Eliot so eloquently put it, "Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: It proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker."
Tradeshow Trouble
While on the topic of things whispered furtively in corners, let's talk tradeshow. Ooooh, what a dirty word it can be in this industry: tradeshow.
Everyone involved in self-storage knows there are two large entities that produce expos: Inside Self-Storage and the Self Storage Association (SSA). (Yes, there are now many state associations producing their own events. More on this later.) And everyone knows there are too many shows, and they are scheduled in too much proximity. And people--exhibitors in particular--are starting to get more than a little irked.
I don't blame them. They should be irked. Tradeshows are an investment, for attendees and exhibitors alike. Who wants to be in a position where they have to go for broke to be represented at key events, or choose between important marketing venues? Expos were intended to bolster the industry and its participants, not create strain and financial hardship.
At the recent ISS expo in Orlando, Fla., Sept. 25-27, I was frequently asked about attendance. Did we think Hurricane Lili and Tropical Storm Isidore, which were raging just off the Southern coast that week, had an impact on our numbers? The more bold asked the real question: "Don't you think you would have had a better turnout if you and the SSA had not scheduled your shows within weeks of each other?" The answer would have been a very simple "yes."
Each fall, ISS and the SSA compete for attendees. We also now contend with the Florida, Massachusetts, New York and Texas associations. Do we all have a right to produce and market these events? Absolutely. Are we doing a good job? Sure we are. Are we being responsible and considerate toward the members of the self-storage community? Well, that's a whole other ball of wax. The multitude of tradeshows is diluting the budgets of all participants. Eventually, someone will have to relinquish a revenue stream for the greater good of the industry.
Inside Self-Storage is exploring ways to do its part. There have been discussions about fewer shows between ISS and SSA. Eventually, there will be a resolution between the camps. The immediate problem is all the state associations that now think they can make a buck hosting their own expos. What they have not stopped to consider is the pressure this creates for all the vendors to be at yet one more show. It obviously also affects the success of national shows by thinning the attendee pool.
We at ISS do not personally feel exhibitors or attendees are reaping real value from tradeshows, featuring exhibits, being sponsored at the state level (with very few exceptions). The role of an association is to provide education, legal support, networking venues and administrative options. All of this is beneficial to members. Forcing the issue with an expo only does the industry a disservice.
I know what you're thinking: "ISS doesn't want the states to host shows because it hits them where it hurts--in the pocketbook!" But before you scoff at me, think about the state of the industry. While ISS and SSA may not be thrilled at the concept of losing their corner on the tradeshow market, there is a larger issue here. The overall health of the industry depends on solidarity, especially when the media seeks to mar our good name and the public begins to second guess our good intentions. It's just something to think about.

Ron Paul and Rand Paul appeared on Fox News to comment on Rand's overwhelming victory in the Republican Kentucky primary for U.S. Senate.
Channel: Fox News
Date: 05/19/2010
Fox News: Last night Senate candidate Rand Paul secured the nomination in Kentucky's Republican primary.
Rand Paul: I have a message, a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: we've come to take our government back.
Rand Paul along with his father Republican Congressman and former Presidential Candidate Ron Paul join us live. We invited Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway to appear this morning but he did not get back to us. Good morning, gentlemen.
Rand Paul: Good morning.
Ron Paul: Good morning.
Fox News: Congratulations to you, Rand. It seems to me in 2010 that to have no political experience seems to be a positive thing. Your thoughts.
Rand Paul: Yeah, I've always said my best asset is that I've never held office or run for office. I always said that this was going to be the year of the outsider and I think it probably will be.
Fox News: Congressman Paul, you of course have been seen by many as an outsider from time to time, not afraid to speak your point of view. There was an establishment favorite in this race who was opposing your son, Trey Grayson. What were your thoughts as your son decided to enter this race and facing the GOP establishment?
Ron Paul: Well, I was very pleased but I was also concerned because I didn't know how far along we've moved with the Freedom Movement. I thought it was an overwhelming task and as a parent I kept thinking, I don't want to see him to put a lot of energy into it and be hurt and this sort of thing, so I would say that what he has done was way beyond my expectations, and that is a very pleasant thing that has happened. So we're very pleased with how the campaign turned out.
Fox News: Rand, immediately the DNC Chair Tim Kaine issued a statement about your victory saying that, "Ordinary Americans are unlikely to be receptive to extreme candidates like Rand Paul in the general election this November. Rand Paul's positions fail to resonate beyond the far-right Republican segment of the electorate." How do you respond to Mr. Kaine?
Rand Paul: What I'd recommend to him is he needs to attend a tea party. The Tea Party message is actually a very mainstream message. One of the things we talk about is term limits. If you poll term limits in Democrats, 70% to 80% of Democrats are for term limits. Another thing I talk a lot about is that we should be forced to balance the budget by law; a balanced budget amendment. If you poll that with Independents and Democrats, 70% to 80% are for it. I think these are very mainstream messages, but you know what I think is extreme is a $2 trillion deficit. I think deficits that have grown so large that they may become unmanageable, that's what's really extreme and that's what the Democrats will have to defend.
Fox News: Congressman Paul, is this an example of how important and how relevant the Tea Party Movement is just one year into its infancy?
Ron Paul: Oh yeah, I think it's much bigger than any of us ever dreamed. Bigger even than what I thought was happening a couple of years ago. But what I find fascinating, those who want to criticize us, they go and attack us because we're on the right. Well, what is the opposite of the right? That's the wrong. So I would say that this kind of talk and rhetoric about trying to undermine people by calling them names, it just doesn't work. I think we have to look at the message and we have a freedom message and the American people are for it and we need it more than ever before. The condition of this country is such that everybody's responding to this, and so I'm very pleased the Republican Party is responding, but the Independents are responding too, and many of the Democrats like this freedom, limited government movement too. I think the momentum is tremendous and it's going to continue to build and we're going to see a lot of changes here in November.
Fox News: Well, Rand Paul, congratulations on winning the Kentucky Republican Senate primary. Congressman Ron Paul, thanks as well for joining your son. I appreciate it.
Ron Paul: Thank you.
Rand Paul: Thank you.

Food Aid And Commercial International Food Trade
1. This paper was commissioned by the Trade and Markets Division of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to address the relationship between food aid and commercial international food trade as background to an anticipated OECD study on the export competition aspects of food aid. The terms of reference for this study call for "a critical review of the existing literature on the potential use of food aid as an export support policy or, alternatively, the potential that food aid bears implications similar to those of export supporting policies." 2. This paper can be summarized as follows. Food aid has multiple objectives, modalities and effects and there has been significant movement over time in each of these areas. Concerns about the use of food aid as an export support policy are founded in both the history of bilateral food aid, in the political economy of food aid support in major donor countries, and in some current uses. The effects of food aid on commercial international food trade turn on several key factors, chief among which is its targeting, of which timing of deliveries is an important subfactor. Due to inevitably imperfect targeting at both macro and micro levels, food aid clearly displaces commercial sales of food contemporaneously in recipient economies. The evidence is unclear as to the distribution of these short-term losses across domestic and foreign suppliers in recipient countries, but the evidence somewhat favors the conclusion that most of the displacement comes out of commercial imports. Whether this displacement adversely effects international food markets depends on the manner in which the food aid is obtained, how well integrated the recipient economy market is with the global market, and recipient demand for variety. The longer-term effects of food aid turn on the dynamic income effects of food aid receipt and the extent to which these stimulate future food demand. The crucial questions then are how the short-term losses due to contemporaneous displacement of commercial imports, the global market effects of alternative food aid procurement modalities, and the long-term gains from any derivative income stimulus balance out over time and how these costs and benefits are distributed among donors and third party exporters. Research on these topics has been surprisingly scarce and, largely as a consequence, premature conclusions are too often drawn on the basis of quite limited evidence on the contemporaneous displacement effects of food aid on recipient country markets. Finally, because food aid's effects on trade stem directly from the efficacy of targeting, policymakers exploring the effects of food aid on commercial international food trade must consider explicitly the trade-off between higher expected displacement of commercial trade and higher expected targeting errors of exclusion of intended beneficiaries through restrictive distribution rules.

WALDWICK — Flags were at half-staff at municipal buildings around town this afternoon, as the family of a homegrown Marine traveled to Dover, Delaware to recover his body.
Marine Staff Sgt. Joseph D'Augustine was killed on Tuesday, March 27 doing the dangerous work he'd been trained to do: diffusing explosives as part of a ordnance disposal unit. He was 29 years old.
The town will honor him with a procession through Waldwick's streets sometime next week, the mayor said Thursday.
"There will be a wake for our hero," Mayor Thomas Giordano said. "He will be brought home to Waldwick. He will be honored in the streets of Waldwick, and then there will be a visitation for the public to pay their respects."
But Giordano said plans for funeral arrangements and public ceremonies won't be worked out until the family returns from Dover.
"We just have one game plan, if that's what you want to call it," he said. "We want to bring Joe back home."
Borough and military officials have said the D'Augustine family wishes to grieve privately. Family members told The Record, though, that the Marine had been scheduled to return from his fourth tour of duty in just 15 days — for the wedding of his sister, Nicole.
In town on Thursday, the local American Legion Post 57 had a small memorial in front of its headquarters on Franklin Turnpike.
"All gave some — some gave all. God bless Sgt. Joe D'Agustine RIP," read the sign outside the door.
Waldwick resident Joel Pinkler, himself a former Marine, was at borough hall to find out how to pay his respects. Pinkler was just a few years ahead of D'Agustine at Waldwick High School, where D'Agustine was a wrestler and football player.
Pinkler said word of D'Agustine's death began circulating in town on Tuesday.
"My brother's in the Marine Corps, and a friend of the family called the house after hearing it was someone from Waldwick," he said.
He searched online and found news reports about the death of his former classmate.
"Joe had an infectious smile," Pinkler recalled. "You met him and you were friends instantly."
D'Agustine was assigned to 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force based in Camp Lejeune, N.C., according to the Department of Defense. He was killed diffusing an explosive device in the Helmand Province, where another North Jersey Marine, Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca, was killed in February.
Mayor Giordano, who is also the manager of a funeral home, is helping coordinate funeral arrangements. He said Thursday that D'Agustine will be buried at St. Luke's Cemetary in Ho-Ho-Kus.
Giordano said that as news of D'Agustine's death spread, organizations across the small town of fewer than 10,000 residents came forward to ask how they could contribute to memorial efforts.
"Waldwick, everybody knows everybody," he said. "It's really personal and really hits home here in this town, and it's something that we have to all get over. The family is in grief, the town's in grief, and we have to help the family get through their grief. And that's what we're going to do."

This tea is ok. I wasn't expecting much seeing as it's a bagged tea and I've been disappointed many times with bagged teas, but this one surprised me. It actually had a decent amount of flavor and I actually enjoyed it and I don't generally like rooibos. No, it doesn't taste much like chocolate and yes, the peppermint is very much an aftertaste. But, the tea itself was decently enjoyable.

The complaint against smartphones regarding short battery life isn't new, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't any different. But, as every smartphone, the Galaxy S4 is released as the smartest and most high-end phone on the market and that's why it comes with all the vital, and also unnecessary features enabled causing it to eat up a lot of battery power. Even the monstrous 2600 mAh battery isn't enough to back up all features enabled Galaxy S4 for 24 hours.
If users don't change the default settings, they're sure to experience annoyingly short battery cycle and have to recharge after every few hours. Make these following changes and you'll experience radical changes very soon.
- Avoid using wallpapers if possible.
- Disable mobile data, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and other features when not using.
- Adjust low leveled display brightness.
- Disable auto syncing
- Activate the power saving mode.
- Set shorter screen timeout duration.
