Aiding and A'Betting: Week Two
One of my favorite people. And Tony Gonzalez!
There was a particularly enjoyable string of plays in last Sunday's Atlanta Falcons/Miami Dolphins matchup.
Halfway through the third quarter, Dolphins QB Chad Pennington skipped back, targeting Anthony Fasano on his right. Just before the ball reached its target, linebacker Mike Peterson stepped in, made the interception and rumbled 39 yards into Miami territory. Three plays later, Matt Ryan found Tony Gonzalez for six points.
Three Falcons involved there: Peterson, Ryan, Gonzalez. Before Sunday, three guys with a total of 17 Falcons games between them - all from Ryan's rookie season. Three guys who never called Michael Vick a teammate, who never called Bobby Petrino "coach." Three guys who are the work of general manager Thomas Dimitroff, a guy so good I barely flinched after he recently cut two of my favorite players (DJ Shockley, Thomas Brown). At this point, if the 'Troff makes a decision, I'm assuming it's the right one.
I've said it before, I'll definitely say it again: having a general manager smarter than me is a welcome addition to Falcons fandom. (I'm still pissed about taking WR Jammi German - he of the 20 catch career - before Hines Ward in the 1998 draft.)
The picks:
Oakland @ Kansas City (-3). Two 0-1 teams that nevertheless looked better than expected last weekend. Well, better than most expected, because (cue high-pitched voice) someone said the Chiefs would surprise. (Notice how 90% of these columns are me cherry-picking past pseudo-glorys? That will never change.) PICK: Kansas City
Houston @ Tennessee (-6 1/2). As of last week's Tennessee/Pittsburgh game, I am officially sold on Twitter. I kicked off the NFL regular season on my couch, phone in one hand, Firefly tallboy in the other. As the game progressed, I kept updating my Twitter app, and it provided a bizarre sense of insight. Journalists like Peter King, Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter were constantly weighing in, as were players like Chad Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. So for the next night game, be sure to follow @joshmassey1 - I try to invent one new curse word an hour. PICK: Houston
New England (-3 1/2) @ NY Jets. Like all non-assholes nationwide, I was pissed after New England's come-from-behind win on Monday night. Leodis McKelvin, a pox on you and yours. But there was a monster silver lining embedded beneath Tom Brady's fuckbaggery: the Patriots might not be that good this year. Brady looked shaky, which is understandable; however, the rest of the team seemed to tremble as well, which is uncharacteristic. Maybe, just maybe, their defensive losses and total lack of running game will black hole their asses, collapsing them on top of themselves. At the very least, I'm hoping it takes a few weeks for them to regain form, just long enough for Atlanta's 9/27 Foxboro visit to end in an upset. (But give me a break with Brady not beating Sanchez by more than 3 1/2). PICK: New England
Cincinnati @ Green Bay (-9). PICK: Cincinnati
Minnesota (-10) @ Detroit. If Asher Allen picks off Matthew Stafford, I just might cry. (Tears of joy, mind you.) PICK: Detroit
New Orleans @ Philadelphia (PICK). One of the problems with holding season tickets is having to miss other great games. Like this one, with a hobbled Philly O against a swiss cheese New Orleans D, and a stout Philly D battling a fire-fighting New Orleans O. I'm siding with the defensive strength on this one, because 1) Kolb/Garcia should be able to pilot the Eagles just enough, and 2) I hate the f'ing Saints. PICK: Philadelphia
Carolina @ Atlanta (-6). Last week, I tailgated all day Saturday for UGA/South Carolina, spent the night in Athens, and went straight to the Georgia Dome for Atlanta/Miami. Around the third quarter, my neighbor turned and said "Y'all sure are quiet." Now here comes the test: was I quiet because of exhaustion, or was I quiet because everybody around me was a drunk fuckbag? The guy to my left does shots straight from a whiskey bottle every time the Falcons score (he offered, we declined). The guys to my right think they're hilarious, and that everybody within 50 feet deserve to hear their jokes. The guy two rows in front of my wears a Falcons jersey with "Crazylarry" on the back - and, well, Crazy Larry is kind of awesome. I like Crazy Larry. So will I become Crazy Josh this week with a more restful Saturday? Or will I realize I need to step up and get lower level seats next year, where the boring people tend to sit? PICK: Atlanta
From last week's game. NOT lower level seats.
St. Louis @ Washington (-9 1/2). Put a little faith in the Redskins, and last week's turd is what I get. In related news, I think there's a good chance the Supreme Court forces Washington to change its mascot (while I don't mind changing the mascot, I hate this kind of government intrusion). So what would the new name be? Bring back the Washington Senators, football version? Washington Freedom (gay)? Maybe the Washington Generals is fitting, as they always get spanked by New York teams. What about the Washington Snyders? You know he's thinking about it. PICK: St. Louis
Arizona @ Jacksonville (-3). Patrick Swayze, man. That actually sucks. Celebrity deaths don't really bother me that much - I mean, I worshipped Michael Jackson as a kid, but didn't really feel anything when he went. But Swayze always seemed like a truly nice guy, a dude who saw superstardom for a few years, but still remained married to his high school sweetheart until his last breath. And plus, the dude starred in Red Dawn, Road House and Point Break, three of the best "guy movies" of all time. (I'll forgive him Dirty Dancing.) PICK: Arizona
Seattle @ San Francisco (-1 1/2). Another death this week got swept under the Swayze rug a bit: Henry Gibson. Older folks best remember him for "Laugh In," but the images that popped in my head were the Illinois Nazi from The Blues Brothers, and the creepy neighbor in The 'Burbs. Of course, at this time it is most fitting to highlight his brief work in 1977's The Kentucky Fried Movie.
PICK: Seattle
Tampa Bay @ Buffalo (-5). PICK: Buffalo
Cleveland @ Denver (-3). Did anybody enjoy Jay Cutler's Sunday implosion more than Denver fans? PICK: Denver
Baltimore @ San Diego (-3). "My name is Peaches, and I'm the best. All the DJs want to feel my breasts." Sorry, that Coming to America rap has nothing to do with this game - it has just been stuck in my head for the last hour. And no, I don't know why. PICK: Baltimore
Pittsburgh (-3) @ Chicago. Fantasy football update, because you care: So I'm a little nervous about the quarterback situation. Mr. Jay Cutler did not, er, cut it in Week One, throwing four picks to only one touchdown. My backup Carson Palmer only had two picks, but zero TDs. I believe it's tradin' time, because I have too much self-respect to go with free agents Matt Sanchez or Jeff Garcia. (I did win the first game, though - making it 21 months since my last loss. Bitches). PICK: Chicago
NY Giants @ Dallas (-3). Yeah, yeah, Tony Romo looked good last week, enough to make enough media guys, network execs, and top-heavy singers to collectively shit. But I'm pretty sure I could start at QB against Tampa Bay and come away with similar numbers. Let's see you do it this week, Ponyboy. PICK: NY Giants
Indianapolis (-3) @ Miami. The Colts are on the verge of signing Hank Baskett this week, and I would love - love - to see Baskett's wife, "Girls Next Door" star Kendra Wilkinson, interact with Peyton Manning. PICK: Miami
Last week: 8-8-0
Overall: 8-8-0

The Game It's Okay (One Blood) Lyrics
sponsored links[Game]
Dre, I see dead people
[Junior Reid]
Modern vampires of the city!
I taste blood!
Yo Dre, thought I was dead
West Coast
[Verse 1]
I'm the doctor's advocate, ***** Dre shot cha
Brought me back from the dead, that's why they call him the Doctor
The Math gonna drop him and 50 ain't rockin'
With him no more, It's okay, I get it poppin'
Whole club rockin' like a 6-4 Impala
Drink Cris', throw it up, call the **** hydraulics
Then piss in a cup, call the **** Hypnotic
I bleed Compton, spit crack and **** Chronic
And you new *****s ain't **** but new *****s
Bathing Ape shoe *****s, I'm talking to you *****s
Bounce in the 6-4, throwing up West-Side man
Sell another five million albums, Yes I am
Fresh like damn, this ***** did it again
A hundred thousand on his neck, LA above the brim
Inside the Lambo, shotgun with snoop
What would the **********in' west coast be without one crip and
One blood [Repeat: x4]
Blood [Repeat: x9]
One blood [Repeat: x9]
[Verse 2]
I'm from the west side of the 6-4 Impala
Where *****s say where you from, we don't ever say holla
Bandanna on the right side, gun on the left side
*****s in New York know how to throw up the west side
Word to Eazy, I'm so ill, believe me
I made room for Jeezy, but the rest of you *****s
Better be glad you breathin', All I need is one reason
I'm the king and Dre said it, the west coast need me
I don't know why you *****s keep tryin' me
Everybody know that I'm the aire to the Aftermath dynasty
And I ain't gotta make **** for the club
What DJ gonna turn down a 38 snub
You 38 and you still rappin? Ugh
I'm 26 *****, so is the dubs
In the '07 Hummer, hop out, nobody dodge
When the chronic smoke clear, all you gonna hear is
[Verse 3]
I ain't got beef with 50, no beef with Jay
What's beef when you getting head in the 6-Tre
And the double game chains, I keep 'em on display
Black t-shirt so all you see is the A
Turn on the TV and all you see is the A
You *****s better make up a dance and try and get radio play
Keep on snapping your fingers, I ain't going away
I don't regret what I spit cause I know what I say
And *****s talking bout me, they don't know when to stop
I got the Louis Vuitton belt buckle holding the glock
No bean, no silencer, I know when to pop
Wait till Lil' Jon come on and let off a shot
I had the number 1 billboard spot
*****s stepped on my fingers and I climbed right back to the top
I'm Big, I'm Cube, I'm Nas, I'm Pac
This ain't **** but a warning until my album drops
[Chorus: x2]

Locales and Beacons by Barrus et al in 1996
- Locales are regions of the world containing objects and split statically by designers. Locales can be children of another locale. Ex: car locale contains rear-view mirror + tires + ..., and the car's parent locale can switch from garage to street.
- Absolute object positions in the world are obtained by converting their position in their locale's frame of reference into the world's locale by a series of transformations between locales. Ex: make a locale neighbor of itself using a reflection transformation gives a mirror effect.
- A locale is run by only one server, and users in that locale belong to that locale's multicast address. Objects push updates to their locale's multicast.
- A beacon maps a tag to a locale's mutlicast address. A beacon is handled by its beacon server (not a locale server). That beacon server is found by hashing the beacon's tag.
- Beacon usages:
If someone creates a part of a virtual world and wants other people to visit, he can mark the area with a beacon and publish the tag.
- Private tag only seen by people in the object's locale;
people that run into the beacon can subsequently keep track of it no matter where it moves. Useful to follow an object across locales.
Someone who wants to provide a service can publish a tag, without creating a beacon. For example, suggest the tag "car", and car-makers tag their cars with "car". All the cars are addressable from that beacon's multicast.

what is the difference between a char and an unsigned char?
Also is char* used for returning an array of characters?
what is the difference between a char and an unsigned char?
Also is char* used for returning an array of characters?
yes, char * can be used to return a null terminated char array. But be careful, this can lead to errors related to scope if not used properly.
As to char vs unsigned char, I believe it goes thusly. The char type routinely is assigned 1 byte of memory. Each byte of memory contains 8 bits of memory. Each bit can be thought of as either a 0 or a 1 in binary memory. Therefore each byte can store 2^8 or 256 different combinations of 0s and 1s or 256 binary numbers. But which 256 numbers should be used. If you use signed char type, which is the default I believe, then the numbers range from -127 to 128, and usually just the range from 0 to 128 is used. If you use unsigned char then the range is from 0 to 255. The 0-128 is used for the standard ASCII char set, and the 0-255 range is used for the extended ASCII char set. Or at least thats what I think the situation is.
To quote my C++ programmers reference...
...... whatever that means!Whether char is signed or unsigned is implementation dependant

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. UNC Wilmington Seahawks Pick-Odds-Prediction 12/31/13
UNC Wilmington Seahawks (6-8) at North Carolina Tar Heels (9-3)
College Basketball: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 5:00 pm (Dean Smith Center)
The Line: North Carolina Tar Heels -22 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The UNC-Wilmington Seahawks travel to Chapel Hill to play the North Carolina Tar Heels on Tuesday night.
UNCW dropped to 6-8 on the year after losing to UNCA 75-61 on Saturday. UNCW shot only 34.4% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range. Freddie Jackson and Cedrick Williams scored 15 points each for the Seahawks. On the year, Williams averages a team-high 14.1 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per contest. As a team, the Seahawks are averaging only 67.1 points per game and are shooting a lousy 41.1% from the field. This was the third straight loss for the Seahawks after having won two straight at the beginning of the month. This will be ninth road game already for the Seahawks; UNCW is 3-5 away from home this year.
Ellen Ozier-USA TODAY Sports
The North Carolina Tar Heels improved to 9-3 on the year after beating Northern Kentucky 75-60 last week. The Tar Heels shot 47.1% from the field and 42.9% from behind the arc in the win. James Michael McAdoo scored 12 of his 14 points after halftime, while Marcus Paige and Leslie McDonald added 11 points each for the Tar Heels. On the year, Paige leads the team in scoring with 18.7 points per game, while McAdoo averages 14 points per contest. Paige also leads the team in assists with 4 dimes per game, while Johnson is averaging a team-high 6.7 boards per game. The Tar Heels are averaging 79.8 points per game and are shooting 47% from the field. North Carolina is a great rebounding team, pulling down over 40 boards per contest.
Coach Roy Williams will have the Tar Heels fired up after a bad game against Northern Kentucky last week. North Carolina will come out shooting the ball well and will play solid defense against a weak UNCW squad. This game should get ugly quick and I think North Carolina will end up winning by 30.

How do I get rid of carpet beetles? I have two small children and a cat.
We have seen them in the kitchen and master bath on the linoleum, and have been vacuuming the carpet every few days. I have also sprayed the outside of the house around the doors and windows with an over the counter Bayer product.
The main thing you should do is a thorough inspection to see if you can find any infested items. If you do find infested items it will be necessary to thoroughly clean the area or dispose of the infested item and treat the cracks and crevices with a residual spray such as D-Force HPX.

The Persistent Negative CDS-Bond Basis During The 2007/08 Financial Crisis
This papers studies price discrepancies between CDS and bonds spreads, i.e. the basis, for a sample of investment-graded US firms. In normal market conditions the basis is approximately zero. During the crisis 2007/08, due to funding liquidity shortage and increased risk in the financial sector, which exposes protection buyers to counter-party risk, the "Basis trade" is costly and risky. Results show that the basis is generally negative, time varying and strongly related economic variables that are proxies for funding liquidity conditions (cost of capital and hair cuts), risk in the interbank lending market, "Flight to liquidity" and the risk premium in the equity market, such as the TED spread, the S&P 500 realized volatility, the OIS-T-Bill spread and the S&P 500 risk premium.

I think I quoted Emperor Palpatine correctly...at least I think I did, right guys?
Last week there was so much Rogue One goodness that it's easy to forget that the as-of-yet-untitled Star Wars: Episode VIII is well into production, due for release in December 2017. We're yet to discover what Luke Skywalker was up to on Ahch-To, but if the recent comment made by Mark Hamill is anything to go by, we may have found out something worrying about his character's future in the movies...and boy, is it sure to create a disturbance in The Force...
*Potential Spoilers Ahead*
As a long time fan of The Kinks, Mark Hamill was a panelist at a special event for the famous band in London last night which was hosted by The Big Issue. They seemingly talked about the band more than Star Wars, but Hamill still managed to briefly answer a query about his future projects:
"I finish Episode VIII, and then I'm out of work".
It's not an outright confirmation of his future, but even so, I've got a bad feeling about this...why? Well his lack of work, particularly on other Star Wars projects, is worrying. Typically, actors leave franchise for one of two reasons. Either they've been written out, or -even worse- killed off! This would be another popular character from the Original Trilogy to meet their maker! Han Solo (Harrison Ford) won't be returning for Episode VIII, because he was killed by his own son *SOB* in The Force Awakens.
Should we be concerned? Can we expect Luke Skywalker to die in Episode VIII?
It's certainly not outside the realms of possibility. Hamill and Carrie Fisher are getting on age-wise and may not want to be tied to the mammoth movie series any longer. Plus, the filmmakers may want to put the focus even more upon the younger cast. Even so, I think we should take this news with a pinch of salt. It could be nothing, or possibly something.
After all, whilst Mark Hamill is well known for the kindness and consideration he shows towards his eager fans, he has been known for his anarchic humor and his trolling before. You only need to check out his autographed collectible cards and his Twitter feed to see this in action.
Additionally there may be some essence of truth here, in that apart from technical reshoots, he may simply have a large gap between his projects. Indeed, principal photography on The Force Awakens was completed in November 2014, which, excluding reshoots, meant that there was over a year before its official release and the start of filming on Episode VIII! Maybe this potential gap between Episode VIII and IX is what he's referring to?
If not, and there's something to his comments, it would appear that Star Wars is taking a leaf out of Game of Thrones' book by killing off main characters! However, I wouldn't completely rule Mark Hamill as fully gone from the Star Wars universe. He could come back as a Force ghost like his Dad, and his masters Yoda and Obi Wan.
We know very little of where Episode VIII will take us or what it will feature, apart from these pictures of suited aliens in their posh speeders. Although personally, I don't think (or hope!) that we'll see Luke Skywalker dying in Episode VIII. However in light of everything we've explored above, what he's told us may be true… at least, from a certain point of view.
In the meantime, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is fast approaching. Check out the trailer below, ahead of the December 16th release- let's hope Rogue One doesn't jump on the murder bandwagon and kill off too many great characters!
Do you think Luke Skywalker will die in 'Star Wars: Episode VIII'?

The experts have had their say, but what do investors on the ground think when it comes to the choice between property and shares?
Property trumps shares for long-term gains, but investors need to research their purchases well and shouldn't dismiss the potential of the local share market to provide strong yields.
That's according to social media respondents to Smart Property Investment's questions surrounding the properties versus shares argument during the past week.
Jane Slack-Smith, responding via LinkedIn, explains that the sheer size of the property market combined with the basic human necessity for accommodation makes property investment the safer bet of the two.
"The basic facts: the property market is worth $6 trillion, the Australian listed stocks, $1.5 trillion. Everyone has to live somewhere, and 70 per cent of people own or are in the process of paying off a home. Hence 30 per cent rent," she explained.
"The key to knowing where to buy comes down to a few things. Knowing who you are buying for – is it yourself or a tenant, and knowing what your buying criteria needs to be to make your purchase as a home or an investment work for you. In my opinion, regardless of buying for yourself or as an investor, you can make money if you understand that buying the right property, in the right location with the right finance reduces the risk of this investment decision."
Steven Vasiliadis, also responding via LinkedIn, stated that the local share market still offers strong yielding opportunities for investors who know where to look.
"I think for the savvy investor there is some very good value in the ASX at the moment with dividend yields unmatched by property investment. Stick to blue chips with great yields and long-term growth prospects. Companies like Woolworths and BHP are at great value at the moment, and offering net yields of between eight per cent and 10 per cent," he wrote.
Jay Baumann warned all investors to remember that the key to success lies in their timing, writing: "There is a bubble brewing and you don't want to be the last one holding the can. Just know when to buy and when to sell!"
Mahsoud Azimi commented in a similar vein, stating that patience is the key to successful property investment.
"Property is always safest investment in Australia, but if you're looking at quick money, [it's] not a good option."
David Keel, responding via Facebook, believes in property over shares – provided investors direct their money toward well-situated properties.
"Over the long term there is no safer bet than residential property in Australia – provided you do your homework and invest in the right areas. Property will always trump shares for the simple fact that you can safely leverage more money into residential property – banks are happy to lend 80-90 per cent of a property's purchase price. You can do this with shares also, but as the article alluded to, shares can be very volatile and the chances of getting a margin call are a lot higher – being a forced seller at the worst possible time can seriously impact your wealth," he wrote.
"A $500,000 property growing at five per cent is preferable to a $100,000 share portfolio growing at 10 per cent, and you could be in either financial position with the same starting capital. You could say that the ability to leverage is the 'independent umpire' when it comes to any shares v property debate. With that being said, using debt magnifies your gains as well as your losses – as people who have invested in mining towns will be discovering (much to their chagrin). The key is to invest in areas with a diversified economy, strong population growth and a fixed supply, i.e. capital cities," he added.

The Art: Everything is Incredible
The Artist: Tyler Bastian
About the Work:
Throughout much of the 20th century, polio devastated the Central American nation of Honduras. It was the children who suffered most; often becoming infected at birth, they would struggle with the disease for their entire lives, to varying degrees.
One of the more pronounced sufferers was Agustin, who grew up in the midst of the pandemic to become a shoemaker. But it was not this work that made Agustin famous in the region.
In 1962, Agustin started building a helicopter from scrap materials he found in his small town. He thought the project would take three months to complete; 50 years later, he is still persevering.
Agustin's story is one of courage and excellence. When his drunk brother used to parade the streets calling Agustin crazy, he continued his work. When he received a new wheelchair, he took it apart and added the materials to his design. As his condition worsened, he did not let his focus on the little details slip.
Some call him crazy. Others are quick to point out that he's unlikely to finish construction, let alone have an opportunity to test its efficiency, before his death. Agustin addresses these claims simply, yet profoundly:
"The problem is everything is incredible, and people don't accept it".
There has been no update on Agustin's condition since 2014, but whether he ever manages to complete his project seems inconsequential. It is the process of creation that drives him, not the destination. That is why we celebrate his achievement.

(DES MOINES) – Tuesday the Iowa House passed House File 2274, the only property tax proposal that delivers significant tax relief and genuine reform to all classes of Iowa's property tax payers.
Iowa currently has the 2nd highest commercial property taxes and the 16th highest residential property taxes in the country. Additionally, over the last ten years, school property tax collections have increased 60 percent, counties have increased 64 percent and cities have gone up 74 percent. Over the same time period, Iowans' personal income only grew by 46 percent.
If nothing is done, Iowans are staring down the barrel of a $2.5 billion property tax increase over the next 10 years, with the majority of that falling to homeowners.
"For too long, the hardworking taxpayers of Iowa have been carrying a heavy property tax burden, one that is only going to get worse," said Rep. Tom Sands, Chair of the Ways and Means Committee. "Iowans expect and deserve property tax relief and this bill delivers it."
Property tax reform also affects Iowa's economy and is an impediment to putting people back to work. The Republican plan further provides an emphasis on smaller, Main Street, entrepreneur-type employers. It creates predictability and stability for all employers.
"Our uncompetitive property tax system is a burden on job creators and prohibits businesses of all sizes from expanding, hiring or even settling in Iowa," said Speaker Kraig Paulsen (R-Hiawatha). "This pro-growth, pro-jobs plan creates predictability and certainty for Iowa families and employers."
Highlights of the Republican plan include:
ALL Iowans receive tax relief and there is no shifting of burdens to any one class of property
Job creators receive a $602 million property tax cut
Homeowners receive a $417 million property tax cut
Republicans' proposal offers a total of $1.2 billion in relief for Iowa property taxpayers
The plan proposed by Democrats results in a $2.5 billion property tax increase, with $1.69 billion of that falling on the backs of homeowners.
According to public polling, Iowans favor broad based property tax relief proposal, similar to the Republican plan, by a 2 to 1 margin over a targeted tax credit plan, similar to the Democrat plan.

Non-Treatment and Under-Treatment Common in Europe
October 3, 2003
In his recent report on European pharmaceuticals, Oliver Schoffski, at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, looks at the treatment of 20 illnesses across Europe and incorporates nearly 200 studies of how people were treated. He paints a picture of non-treatment and under-treatment for common diseases such as schizophrenia, heart disease and asthma.
The reasons are complex and not exclusively related to government policies; but he finds that governments -- and specifically their funding decisions -- are a major source of the woes.
- In France, 90 percent of patients with acute asthma do not receive adequate care, while half of all patients who should be receiving continuous basic drug therapy are prescribed medications on an ad hoc basis.
- One million people in Germany suffer from migraines unnecessarily, and only 5 percent of German women are treated with up-to-date pharmaceuticals.
- Some 83 percent of Italian patients who could benefit from statins -- Lipitor and other lipid-lowering medications that reduce cholesterol and thereby protect against heart disease -- don't receive them.
Why are all these governments working to keep doctors from prescribing proven and effective medications? It's a matter of money. In Germany, for example, the government pays for nearly 70 percent of prescription drugs. To bureaucrats eager to keep to their budgets, new drugs are seen only as new expenses -- even if they save lives.

What happens with Mozilla packages (more exactly with Firefox/Iceweasel) is that upstream version correct security flaws, meaning that right now, Debian's lenny stock version of Iceweasel is vulnerable to lots of holes because Mozilla does not provide support nor pacthes for 3.0.x branch. Leaving your users base with a vulnerable browser is not very sane. I see only one reason to force the upgrade of a stock package with a newer version and is precisely the lack of support (nor patches) from upstream packager. Hopefully there is "backports" holding these packages, but for Mozilla products (which are included in the regular repo) should not be needed - to be backported- at all: lenny users should have received 3.5 release by means of the security repo. Greetings, -- Camaleón

 Java-based cross-platform di …
 Java-based cross-platform digital reconstruction visualization and editor. Can load .swc or .asc reconstruction files for visualization, editing, or conversion.
 This is one of several tools for converting 3D reconstructions into formats for modeling and for correcting errors in morphology.
 Cvapp is for editing and converting morphology files. There are currently two versions available which are due to be merged but have not yet been combined. The original version, cvapp1.0, is identical to the one included in the morphology archive. The usage notes for that version apply to both.
 It is available as
 :* cvapp1.0.zip
 :* cvapp1.0.tgz
 :* cvapp100.jar
 There is another version modified by Steve van Hooser to handle remeshing of structures for Genesis. Remeshing is done internally by neuron, so this version is of no benefit there. Indeed, the Neuron output appears to be brocken, so unless you need the remeshing facilities, stick to the original version above.
 Steve's version is available as
 :* cvapp1.4.3.zip
 :* cvapp1.4.3.tgz
 :* cvapp143.jar
 In either case, the first two files are equivalent, and when uncompressed produce a directory containing the source and class files. The .jar file contains just the class files and doesn't need unpacking. To run cvapp from the jar file, first install the full java development kit (JDK) or the Java Runtime Environment - JRE

FROM DETROIT - Judge Porter of Schlosser, arrived in this village last evening from Detroit, to whose politeness we are indepted for the following information:
That when we left Detroit the 29th. ult. Gen. Hull was strongly fortified in Canada, nearly opposite detroit - his whole force was about 3,000 - his intention was not to act offensively till he should have received reinforcements from ther Governors of Kentucky and Ohio, to whom he had sent 'expresses' for 2,000 soldiers and which were daily expected.
Judge Porter further stated, that information was received at Detroit, that about 30 British soldiers, under the command of an Officer, and 100 Indians, of the Sioux tribe, with two pieces of artillery, on the night between the 12th. and the 13th. of July last, landed on the Island of Michillimackinak, and in the morning demanded the surrender of the Fort which, after a few hours deliberation, was given up - Two American vessels, the MARY, Capt. Rough, and SALINA, Cpat. Dobbins, were taken possession of - The Americans had not received the declaration of war.
Two sloops, the ERIE and FRIENDS GOODWILL, Captains Norton and Lee had left Mackina for Chicago, on return will undoubtedly be taken possession of by the British and the Indians.

2007 Toyota Tundra Double Cab - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Worthy Truck
By KB2 on
Vehicle2007 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
ReviewI recently purchased the '07 Tundra. I've had it about 3 weeks now. It's the Limited, DoubleCab, 6.5' bed, 5.7 V8, 4x4. This truck is amazing. I've only ever owned F150s ever since I learned to drive. What a change this truck is. The power and handling is amazing. Not only does it corner like a sports sedan, but it will stop shorter than any truck I've ever driven. The engine and transmission are smooth and quiet. When you want the power though, it does come to life and lets you know it. Good thing for the traction control or the tires would only spin. Gas mileage isn't bad. I'm getting 18.5 mpg on the highway and 14.5 mpg in the city. That's driving sensibly though.
Best FeaturesThe power, payload, towing, handling, braking, and overall performance of this truck are astonishing. The interior is refined, yet still rugged enough to suit a truck. Nice thick leather instead of the thin stuff. Compared to my Ford, I love the gas mileage.
Worst FeaturesI would recommend a few improvements. The interior dash could be a bit more elegant for a limited. Some wood trim and lose the silver would be nice. The NAV/radio controls and center console are a long reach for the driver.

NCAT led an DoD-sponsored affordability task force which resulted in the 1993 report: Technology For Affordability. In this report, a working group of industry, academia, and government representatives defined the cultural and technical transitions required for Integrated Product/Process Development, the barriers to implementing this type of environment, and the anticipated benefits in terms of cycle time reduction, quality measures increase, and cost reduction.
This report proved to be the birthplace for many of the subsequent activities for NCAT and the Industry and Academic representatives. Development of IPPD training products, dissemination of case studies and lessons learned, and integration into DoD acquisition policy has followed from this working group report.
Another course was contracted by the U.S. Navy and was conducted repeatedly from October, 1996 through May, 1997. It was intended for Navy program managers, contract representatives, and technical personnel. The agenda for this three day course was developed to include a broad introduction to IPPD as well as discussion and experience in the various IPPD tools.

Republican voters have put the party's elite establishment on notice that any attempt to tamper with the will of the people will face a buzzsaw of anger.
Across the ever-expanding band of America the New York Times labeled "Trump Country" and beyond, voters reacted with anger to 2012 GOP candidate Mitt Romney's Thursday speech to derail Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's candidacy. Romney spoke amid multiple reports of behind-the-scenes maneuvers to deny Trump the nomination at this summer's Republican National Convention.
"I personally am disgusted by it — I think it's disgraceful," said Lola Butler, 71, of Mandeville, La., who voted for Romney in 2012. "You're telling me who to vote for and who not to vote for? Please."
Advertisement - story continues below
Butler made it crystal clear how she felt.
"There's nothing short of Trump shooting my daughter in the street and my grandchildren — there is nothing and nobody that's going to dissuade me from voting for Trump," she said.
TRENDING: Megyn Kelly Reveals What She Did for Fox News Execs at Audition: 'I Am Still Humiliated That I Did It'
The New York Times painted a picture of a party elite far removed from its rank and file.
"The furious campaign now underway to stop Mr. Trump and the equally forceful rebellion against it captured the essence of the party's breakdown over the past several weeks: Its most prominent guardians, misunderstanding their own voters, antagonize them as they try to reason with them, driving them even more energetically to Mr. Trump's side," reads the TImes article published Saturday and written by Michael Barbaro, Ashley Parker and Jonathan Marton.

One voter said it simply. "I want to see Trump go up there and do damage to the Republican Party," said Jeff Walls, of Flowood, Miss.
Romney's speech has grated on voters' ears, the Times reported.
"Voters have not taken kindly to the recommendation, describing the request as a patronizing directive from an elite figure who thoroughly misunderstands their feelings of alienation from the political system," it wrote.
Michigan Republican Faith Sheptoski-Forbush dismissed Romney's "desperate attempt" at stopping Trump. "He's an establishment figure," So that's what you get."

"What we need is the voice of the people," Sheptoski-Forbush said. "The voice of the people want Trump."
Trump's preference for voters over leaders was again manifest Friday when he announced he was skipping his scheduled Saturday appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., and would instead campaign in Kansas and Florida. Although the move brought protests from some conservative leaders, it was endorsed by GOP legend Newt Gingrich.
"Trump was right to skip CPAC. The votes are in Kansas, not Washington. Why give the anti-trump activists a target," Gingrich tweeted.

For centuries, there has never been anything wrong with women choosing to give birth at home. In fact, it was only until the 1900's that women started giving birth in hospitals. However, there are those who are willing and ready to avoid the mechanics that come with delivering in hospitals and decide to have their babies at home. This does not really mean that they do not have the means to go to a hospital but it is more of a personal choice.
Preparations for a Home Birth
As the pregnancy progresses, you need to decide whether you will go for a home or hospital delivery. Women who choose the home option need to make adequate preparations for it. They need to start by choosing a trained health care provider and creating a birth plan. It is also crucial to prepare for a hospital transfer should it be necessary and also choose a paediatrician to check on the baby.
Why Consider Giving Birth at Home
Even though many hospitals are equipped with state of the art technology and equipment to aid in childbirth, some women choose to deliver at home for various reasons.
Studies have shown that for the final stages of pregnancy to go on without any interruption, the mother-to-be needs to be relaxed. The same studies go on to indicate that labour progresses well at home compared to hospitals. This is because she is more relaxed and can easily move around as she wishes without constantly being reminded that she has to be in bed by nurses. This level of relaxation is even aided by the fact that she has been working with the same midwife for a very long time and thus there is more of a personal bond than patient-care giver relationship.
Women are also under less pressure to labour within a given time frame in hospitals. Remember, this is a natural process and the hospital putting pressure on her to be done quickly does not really help. Asa result, there is also minimal need for intervention by administering labour inducing drugs or using forceps and ventouse for delivery at home. These interventions carry different risks even though many hospitals will readily suggest them for you.
Comfort is also another reason that pushes women to deliver from home. Here, she is surrounded by her loved ones and can wear whatever clothes that she wishes provided she feels comfortable in them. The familiar surroundings also give her a surety that everything will be fine. Above all, she can have anyone she wishes present.
There is also the continuous assessment by the caregiver of both the mother and baby that ensures both of them are in good health. This assessment during the birth and postpartum period helps the caregiver know how best to take care of them. Given that it is also on a one-on-one basis, the will get the best care possible.
Lastly, the cost of delivering at home is way lower than in a hospital. Even if you involve a CNM, the charges will still be taken care of by the insurance.
Risks of Home Birth
While home birth has it benefits, it is not without risks. Both the mother and her family must assume a greater level of responsibility for their health. This demands active participation in decision making and all aspects of the care provided.
Another great risk that comes with home delivery is the fact that homes are not equipped to handle emergencies. Caesarean sections and forceps interventions cannot be availed at home and thus the mother must be rushed to the hospital should an emergency occur. However, this is also not common because caregivers monitor her all the time and will revert to hospital delivery should they sense something out of the norm.
Who Should Avoid Home Birth
Giving birth at home is not for everyone. Women suffering from conditions such as diabetes with chronic hypertension are advised to visit a hospital. Those who have had a C-section before and those with preeclampsia also need hospital delivery.
Home birth is nothing new and looking at the current trends, many women are going back to it. As long as the preparations are in place, then there should be nothing stopping you from it.

The good operating range has always been one of the much-anticipated features a wireless MUST have, and there are many door chimes available which can offer operating ranges of 150ft, 250ft and 450ft. However, if you want to install a wireless door chime in your garage or a huge house, then you might need a wireless doorbell with long range. Here comes Dacota DC Alert DC-1000
This wireless doorbell has an operating range of 1000ft which is much more than that of other popular long range wireless doorbells out there. Of course, working range of the doorbell would be bit lower than the operating range. Still, 1000ft of range coverage ensures that you don't miss any caller regardless of how far the doorbell push button is kept from chime unit. Users have reported that this model is already working up to 700ft of actual range.
Dacota DC-1000 does an excellent job when it comes to covering a broad range in your house. It has visual indicators in the form of zone based LED flashlights, and volume control options do exist. You can choose from 16 doorbell sounds.
This doorbell ships along with 1 push button and can support up to 4 push buttons. The best part is you can assign individual chime tone to each of these buttons to determine the location of the caller. The Same functionality is incorporated in the visual notifications as well. There are 4 LED's which illuminate based upon the caller's location.
Now, there are some concerns raised from users that they have noticed some issues in the device and have expressed a feeling of dissatisfaction about this door chime. However, it could be a problem with few pieces, and they would have surely got them replaced with a better piece.
There is praise for this device in the market solely because of it's one of the best long range wireless doorbell.

ICANN to flip the secret key to the internet
ICANN is about to embark on a year-long effort to warn the internet that it plans to replace the top-level cryptographic keys used in DNSSEC for the first time.
CTO David Conrad told DI today that ICANN will rotate the so-called Key Signing Key that is used as the "trust anchor" for all DNSSEC queries that happen on the internet.
Due to the complexity of the process, and the risk that something might go wrong, the move is to be announced in the coming days even though the new public key will not replace the existing one until October 2017.
The KSK is a cryptographic key pair used to sign the Zone Signing Keys that in turn sign the DNS root zone. It's basically at the top of the DNSSEC hierarchy — all trust in DNSSEC flows from it.
It's considered good practice in DNSSEC to rotate keys every so often, largely to reduce the window would-be attackers have to compromise them.
The Zone Signing Key used by ICANN and Verisign to sign the DNS root is rotated quarterly, and individual domain owners can rotate their own keys as and when they choose, but the same KSK has been in place since the root was first signed in 2010.
Conrad said that ICANN is doing the first rollover partly to ensure that the procedures in has in place for changing keys are effective and could be deployed in case of emergency.
That said, this first rotation is going to happen at a snail's pace.
Key generation is a complex matter, requiring the physical presence of at least three of seven trusted key holders.
These seven individuals possess physical keys to bank-style strong boxes which contain secure smart cards. Three of the seven cards are needed to generate a new key.
Each of the quarterly ZSK signing ceremonies — which are recorded and broadcast live over the internet — takes about five hours.
The first step in the rollover, Conrad said, is to generate the keys at ICANN's US east coast facility in October this year. A copy will be moved to a facility on the west coast in February.
The first time the public key will appear in DNS will be July 11, 2017, when it will appear alongside the current key.
It will finally replace the current key completely on October 11, 2017, by which time the DNS should be well aware of the new key, Conrad said.
There is some risk of things going wrong, which could affect domains that are DNSSEC-signed, which is another reason for the slowness of the rollover.
If ISPs that support DNSSEC do not start supporting the new KSK before the final switch-over, they'll fail to correctly resolve DNSSEC-signed domains, which could lead to some sites going dark for some users.
There's also a risk that the increased DNS packet sizes during the period when both KSKs are in use could cause queries to be dropped by firewalls, Conrad said.
"Folks who have things configured the right way won't actually need to do anything but because DNSSEC is relatively new and this software hasn't really been tested, we need to get the word out to everyone that this change is going to be occurring," said Conrad.
ICANN will conduct outreach over the coming 15 months via the media, social media and technology conferences, he said.
It is estimated that about 20% of the internet's DNS resolvers support DNSSEC, but most of those belong to just two companies — Google and Comcast — he said.
The number of signed domains is tiny as a percentage of the 326 million domains in existence today, but still amounts to millions of names.
Verisign confirms .gov downtime, blames algorithm
Verisign this morning confirmed yesterday's reports that the .gov top-level domain went down for some internet users due to a DNSSEC problem, which it said was related to an algorithm change.
In a posting to various mailing lists, Verisign principal engineer Duane Wessels said:
On the morning of August 14, a relatively small number of networks may have experienced an operational disruption related to the signing of the .gov zone. In preparation for a previously announced algorithm rollover, a software defect resulted in publishing the .gov zone signed only with DNSSEC algorithm 8 keys rather than with both algorithm 7 and 8. As a result .gov name resolution may have failed for validating recursive name servers. Upon discovery of the issue, Verisign took prompt action to restore the valid zone.
Verisign plans to proceed with the previously announced .gov algorithm rollover at the end of the month with the zone being signed with both algorithms for a period of approximately 10 days.
This clarifies that the problem was slightly different to what had been assumed yesterday.
It was related to change of the cryptographic algorithm used to create .gov's DNSSEC keys, a relatively rare event, rather than a scheduled key rollover, which is a rather more frequent occurrence.
The problem would only have made .gov domains (and consequently web sites, email, etc) inaccessible for users of networks where DNSSEC validation is strictly enforced, which is quite small.
The US ISP with the strongest support for DNSSEC is Comcast. Since turning on its validators it has reported dozens of instances of DNSSEC failing — mostly in second-level .gov domains, where DNSSEC is mandated by US policy.
On two other occasions Comcast has blogged about the whole .gov TLD failing DNSSEC validation due to problems keeping keys up to date.
The general problem is widespread enough, and the impact severe enough, that Comcast has had to create an entirely new technology to prevent borked key rollovers making web sites go dark for its customers.
Called Negative Trust Anchors, it's basically a Band-Aid that allows the ISP to deliberately ignore DNSSEC on a given domain while it waits for that domain's owner to sort out its key problem.
The technology was created following the widely reported nasa.gov outage last year.
It's really little wonder that so few organizations are interested in deploying DNSSEC today.
Yesterday's .gov problem may have been minor, lasting only an hour or two, but had the affected TLD been .com, and had DNSSEC deployment been more widespread, everyone on the planet would have noticed.
Under ICANN contract, DNSSEC is mandatory for new gTLDs at the top level, but not the second level.
Reports: .gov fails due to DNSSEC error
The .gov top-level domain suffered a DNSSEC problem today and was unavailable to some internet users, according to reports.
According to mailing lists and the SANS Internet Storm Center, it appeared that .gov rolled one of its DNSSEC keys without telling the root zone about the update.
This meant that anyone whose DNS servers do strict DNSSEC validation — a relatively small number of networks — would have been unable to access .gov web sites, email and other resources.
As a matter of policy, all second-level .gov domains have to be DNSSEC-signed.
The problem was corrected quite quickly — looks like within an hour or two — but as SANS noted, caching issues may prolong the impact.
Both .gov and the root zone are managed by Verisign, which isn't on the best of terms with the US government at the moment.
Google starts supporting DNSSEC
Google has started fully supporting DNSSEC, the domain name security standard, on its Public DNS service.
According to a blog post from the company, while the free-to-use DNS resolution service has always passed on DNSSEC requests, now its resolvers will also validate DNSSEC signatures.
What does this mean?
Well, users of Public DNS will get protected from DNS cache poisoning attacks, but only for the small number of domains (such as domainincite.com) that are DNSSEC-signed.
It also means that if a company borks its DNSSEC implementation or key rollover, it's likely to cause problems for Public DNS users. Comcast, an even earlier adopter, sees such problems pretty regularly.
But the big-picture story is that a whole bunch of new validating resolvers have been added to the internet, providing a boost to DNSSEC's protracted global roll-out.
Google said:
Currently Google Public DNS is serving more than 130 billion DNS queries on average (peaking at 150 billion) from more than 70 million unique IP addresses each day. However, only 7% of queries from the client side are DNSSEC-enabled (about 3% requesting validation and 4% requesting DNSSEC data but no validation) and about 1% of DNS responses from the name server side are signed. Overall, DNSSEC is still at an early stage and we hope that our support will help expedite its deployment.
One has to wonder whether Google's participation in the ICANN new gTLD program — with its mandatory DNSSEC at the registry level — encouraged the company to adopt the technology.
How NCC plans to revolutionize domain name security with .secure gTLD
The proposed .secure generic top-level domain is now officially contested, after NCC Group, best known in the domain industry for its data escrow services, announced a bid.
Newly formed NCC subsidiary Artemis Internet Inc, based in San Francisco, is the official applicant.
According to Artemis chief technology officer Alex Stamos, who co-founded security testing firm iSEC Partners and sold it to NCC for $22.8 million two years ago, this is a hard security play.
The .secure gTLD would be all about enforcing strict security policies on registrants, he said.
"Right now there are a lot of interesting security technologies out there, but they're generally not very effective because they're optional," he said.
As well as premium pricing and a manual registrant verification process expected to take about two weeks – complete with mailing address confirmation and two-factor authentication tokens – Artemis plans to force registrants to adhere to certain baseline security policies.
For example, all .secure web sites would have to be completely HTTPS, Stamos said. The only permissible use of a standard port 80 URL would be to redirect to the encrypted site.
The same would go for mail servers – they'd all have to use TLS to encrypt email as standard.
"When you go to bank.secure you'll know that the software and servers at the other end are going to make the most secure decisions possible," Stamos said.
Artemis would scan its registrants' sites for compliance with these baseline rules, looking out for things such as botched SSL implementations.
But Artmeis wants to take it a step further. It is also proposing a new protocol, Domain Policy Framework, which would let registrants publish their security policies in the DNS.
Stamos said the company has set up a Domain Policy Working Group to develop the spec, which it plans to submit to the IETF for standardization before the end of the year.
The other members of the working group, which promise to include some "influential" names in financial services, software and social media, will be announced in July.
DPF would work alongside the existing DNSSEC and DANE protocols to enable registrants to specify, for example, which Certificate Authorities browsers should trust when accessing their .secure domain, preventing certain types of attacks, Stamos said.
Obviously, this system is not going to work without support from browser software, but Stamos said he's hopeful that the big vendors will embrace the DPF spec.
"The most innovative and forward-leaning browsers will support it first," he said.
Domains in .secure would still be accessible by non-compliant browsers, he said.
ARI Registry Services has been hired to manage the back-end registry, but Artemis is also building a secondary registry system for storing the DPF records, which it plans to offer to other TLD registries.
NCC plans to invest up to £6 million ($9.7 million) in Artmeis over the next 15 months, according to a press release.
Another firm, Domain Security Company, also plans to apply for .secure.

Berghaus GTX Gaiter (2012)
As the name suggests, the Berghaus GTX Gaiter is made from Gore-Tex, and it benefits from a nice large area of tougher material around the ankle cuff. It also comes in two leg lengths so there is more chance it will fit you. At the back of the leg is a stretch panel, which should improve the fit further. When it came to putting these on they were a tight fit, and I had the biggest size. I do know people with far chunkier legs and calves than me, and I would be surprised if these gaiters would fit them. I had the 'regular' length and this fitted nicely below the knee, so I suspect that people over 6ft would benefit from the 'long' leg length. The front opening is a Velcro and press stud design; I'm not the biggest fan of this but it did work well. There is no press stud at the bottom, which is where I would want one to help fastening, while the top press stud is directly at the front, so it could be uncomfortable when manoeuvring over a rock slab for example. The underfoot stirrup has Velcro adjustment inside the gaiter and you could tie on a replacement if it wore out.
Material 3-layer Gore-Tex, reinforced ankle
Colours black
Sizes S/M, L/XL (plus regular and long for each size)
Weight 230g (L/XL, regular)
Closure Velcro, press stud
Length 38cm
Website www.berghaus.com
The two length options make the Berghaus GTX Gaiter appealing but the tight fit around the leg may not be ideal for everyone, and the press stud arrangement could be better.

So i read today on wblivesurf that Wrightsville Beach may put a BAN on smoking on the beach. while the "powers at be" claim that this is a purely environmental issue, i feel that there are other factors at play. in the past 3 years i have watched parking go up to $2 an hour, cameras installed on the bridge on the island to check cars coming on and off, and now a potential smoking ban. you can even get a ticket on WB if your kid digs in the sand a hole and doesn't fill it in...
not that i like cigarette butts in the environment or anything, i dont even smoke, but it seems to me that WB is tightening the neuse around the proletariat to keep working class people off Wrightsville Beach. in the summer, i would love to go to WB everyday but i simply cant afford it. now if i decide to light up a cigarette on the beach i'm at risk of receiving a fine. i dont smoke, but the thought of someone trampling on my rights gets under my skin.
banning stuff is a slippery slope, and honestly the word BAN makes me think of prohibition and banning books. now, the town of WB is talking about building a skatepark, but i see that as just a reason for WB to BAN skateboarding in the next five or ten years, like wilmington already has.

No Smoking on Wrightsville beach? Police state?


text: I have eaten here three times and every one of them has been great, especially on Tuesday with the all you can eat King Crab. But, the past few times we have tried to go, they have asked if we had a reservation, and if we did not they would not be able to seat us for the entire night. Even though the dining room and patio were half empty and each time we went it was around 5PM. One time we were lucky and talked the hostess into sitting outside, and the entire time we were there, the patio and dining room remained half full. After learning are lesson the hard way a few times we called to make reservations they said they were booked for the night and do not take reservations for times within two hours. The man who answered the phone even acted like we were crazy that we were calling to make a reservation. I understand the restaurant is small but I feel they are doing a poor job and are turning customers away. Wondered if any others have had problems with this issue. I think they have good consistent food, but do not know if I will go back if this issue continues.

Prager's quality deteriorated severely during the third hour. He had on a guest, a Rabbi Mark Gaffney (sp?) who had written a new book called "Mystery of Sex." The book was apparently published by Simon & Schuster though during a quick search I could find no trace of it on the Internet. According to the author, the book is about the relationship between the sexual and erotic based on Kabbalistic stories. Kabbalistic refers to deriving from Jewish mysticism. Since the first ten or so minutes of discussion lived up to the author's mystical intent I stopped listening so my comments are only based on these minutes. Religion is still the original mysticism and mysticism by its very nature is irrational. It's a confusing statistic today that many self-proclaimed mystics are more rational (at least in their moral conclusions) than many so-called scientists and that has to do with the corruption of reason in the sciences over many centuries but it does not make the original mystics at base any more rational. It simply means we should not be fooled by either.
