Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Solar Energy Storage Systems
As a result of solar energy's intermittent nature, the growth in worldwide usage will be constrained until reliable and low-cost technology for storing solar energy becomes available. The sun's energy is stored on a daily basis by nature through the process of photosynthesis in foodstuffs, wood and other biomass. The storage of energy from intermittent and random solar radiation can be achieved artificially, by using energy storage technologies (thermal storage, chemically-charged batteries, hydro storage, flywheels, hydrogen, and compressed air), some well-known and widely-applied, whilst others are still under development.
Thermal storage for solar heat and chemically-charged batteries for off-grid PV systems are the most widely used solar energy storage systems today. However, there are many who think that hydrogen produced using solar energy will provide the long-term solution for solar energy storage and much research is being undertaken around the world. Only the future will tell whether hydrogen will become cost-effective as compared with other storage options.

Add-on value and "bubble factor"
I must have not made my point clear enough - I'm not expecting a bubble factor, but rather "tighten up extremely because your stack is more expensive to rebuy than the value compared to the addon" factor... |

Profitability of re-buys/add-ons when allowed
@Chris: Doesn't matter if re-buys are done at a flat rate (i.e. we're not considering the add-on phase here where a higher chip per dollar ratio could be offered) since a re-buy also contributes to the prize pool at a flat rate. Let's say you and I are playing against Phil Hellmuth in a re-buy tourney, and he just lost his stack. You and I both now each have 10K stacks => EV $100 if the main prize is $200. Now, if Phil re-buys and gets 1K chips for $10 that money goes into the prize pool. Both our EV is still $100 each! ICM calculation could become less linear with more than just 1st paying. |

Profitability of re-buys/add-ons when allowed
Interesting point - assuming the two big stacks follow optimal strategy and don't enter direct confrontation, survival odds of the short stack are slim. At the same time I believe the structure allowing rebuys on the bubble to be completely unreasonable, especially for a flat payout structure. |

@Macro: afaik this is a pretty common way of calculating your tournament equity - and yes, I'm almost certain the assumption is inaccurate (most notably, fear/fold equity is ignored) but I have no better alternative or a way to prove it. |

Most common freerolling situations in holdem?
@JeffreyBlake: that's exactly my thinking. And, since you can't confidently know if your opponent is drawing to such a hand, you can't know you're freerolling for a fact. As I speculated in the answer above, the term "free-rolling" could only be applied after the hands have been revealed, (somewhat similar to commenting on someone "drawing dead" - you can't know you're drawing dead until you see the opponent's cards... otherwise you wouldn't call would you? :) |

Most common freerolling situations in holdem?
@JeffreyBlake: What about if you have a nut straight, are drawing to a nut flush but your opponent has three-of-a-kind and is drawing to full house or quads? Regardless of still having favourable odds, I don't believe this situation qualifies to be called a freeroll. Am I wrong? |

When you're wrapping up this winter we know it's not all about keeping warm. The only way to keep the cold out this season is with oversized textured pieces. With knitwear the only rule is the chunkier the better. Quirky cut out detailing or shaggy fringing will add to the textured style of this trend. Leather, suede and fur compliment the knitwear by continuing the textile theme. Larger than life snoods and scarves are a must and you could even take up knitting, either way it's all perfect to keep you toasty this Christmas.

Keren Ann is probably the most successful Israeli singer abroad. In fact, she is so successful that you need to read about her to know she is Israeli. So far, she released sis solo albums. She took parts in acclaimed projects both in Europe and in the States. You might have heard some of her songs in the TV series "Grey's Anatomy", "Six Feet Under" and "Big love", as well as in the international H&M Spring commercial.
She makes pop music, while usually keeping a safe distance from the pop-music mainstream. I personally am not a big fan of her music, and only like a few of her songs. But her greatest virtue and what makes her stand out is, to my opinion, her calm, soothing, voice. Perfect for a relaxing weekend…

"Lately, more and more German citizens have decided, on their deathbeds, to dedicate their will to the state of Israel", said an article in the paper yesterday. In the past year, numerous German messengers knocked on the doors of Israeli Embassies, with wills signed by people who decided to give all their money to Israel. Some donations were modest, some contained millions of dollars. This is not a new fashion trend that struck Germany all of a sudden; this is a direct consequence of pure guilt. It's been almost 70 years since the war ended, and almost 80 years since the Jews were marked as the reason for Germany's financial problems and its loss in WW1. More and more Holocaust survivors pass away of old age, and with them, more and more German citizens, who knew and kept quiet.
During the second act of Cabaret, when the Nazis can no longer be ignored, and people start to realize in what direction Germany is going, Fräulein Schneider asks Cliff: What would you do? She knows what's going on, and breaks off her marriage with Herr Schultz, because she fears for her business she worked too hard to build and maintain. She knows that marrying a Jew at the time would mean being boycotted or even killed. This is not just a scene from a musical, this is what happened. German citizens, who didn't support the Nazis, simply froze. They knew Germany was going towards a dark time, but felt impotent, powerless against the big wave of hate. This is something I have no idea how to respond to. I just feel a whirlpool in my stomach whenever this subject arises, just like yesterday morning, when I read the paper. People couldn't bear the guilt, so they gave all of their property to the Jewish state. I don't know if their will made them feel better, or if they saw it as their redemption. I cannot get into their minds and ask them if they feel like this money is given as an apology for looking the other way after witnessing their neighbors being butchered. Maybe they knew it counts for nothing, but still chose to do the best they could to make up for their mistakes. Maybe they supported the Nazis and stole property from their Jewish neighbors and now they felt like they should return it. Either way, I hope they knew they could have prevented this whole thing from happening.
It is a very reasonable presumption that there was more than one Cliff out there, in the real world. People disagreed, but couldn't bring themselves to say it out loud. They were mentally weak. I cannot put my rage aside when I encounter this topic, because a big part of the Holocaust was the civilians, those who stood by as Jews were beaten up on the street; those who disconnected from their Jewish friends, because they didn't want to be marked; those who lived across the street from a death camp; those who saw the smoke, heard the screams, and cried at home, trying to convince themselves it's not what they think. On one hand, I really don't wish for them to die with a clean conscience, just because they donated their money to Israel. But on the other hand, the older and wiser I get, the more I can't help but understanding their actions.
Every Holocaust day in Israel, I think to myself "what would you do if you were a Jew, living in Gemany at that time?" Would I leave during the early 30's? Would I join the Partisans later on? Or perhaps I would be led, quietly. After reading about the wills, I started thinking what I would do if I was standing in the Germans' place. Would I be able to stand up to the Nazis? We don't need research, though there is plenty, to know how difficult it is to stand up to the majority, or even to a very strong minority. This story got me thinking of how guilty those Germans felt for everything that happened while they stood still. Maybe they didn't see their wills as redemption, but as an apology to their friends and neighbors who have no grave, or way to help preventing this from ever happening again. I know I will never be able to forgive them, the people who by doing nothing helped the Nazi demons, and I don't think anyone should ever forgive them. But lately I am starting to find a small place in my heart for understanding why they did what they did. Wills are usually dedicated to family members or close friends and are very personal and private. By giving everything to Israel, those people were at least able to show their torment and guilt, which is, in a way, a partial conciliation. Maybe now I will stop crying as much.

Looking at the situation in Iran and Syria always brings us back to the same question- how come the outside world doesn't step in? Physically. The mass murder and slaughter, as well as the rapid process of building a nuclear weapon, are both issues considering not only the countries involved, but the entire world. The situation in Syria can surely be given the name of "crimes against humanity". The situation in Iran is a direct threat to the countries of the world. Both situations are familiar and proven- Both Assad and Achmadinijad should sit on the electric chair, and both of them are well aware of it. The reason they are so proud of their actions, and don't even bother to deny (Assad did try, but he knows we know…), is the simple fact of their assumptions that the world would do nothing drastic. These assumptions also led them to go on with their crimes with full confidence, even after the truth came out.
These assumptions are unfortunately true. Up until not too long ago, world leaders have started wars with the primary goal of destroying the enemy. They entered war with all they had and exited either winners or dead. This type of a war no longer exists amongst the leaders of today. In the age of nuclear weapons, total wars are almost never a realistic option. We have soon came to the conclusion that entering a total war, while many modern states carry nuclear weapons, will lead to a fast destruction of the world. That is why many leaders of the modern world take time and thought before starting a war. Today's situation in both Syria and Iran is the perfect example- the world condemns everything, but there is no action. Some will call it "diplomacy", but I want to believe no intelligent person will see a threat to the world and react with words, unless one fears for one's life. Don't' get me wrong, I am a fan of diplomacy. I was even told I am pretty good at it, but when I look at my Middle- Eastern neighbors, I see no room for diplomacy.
Common sense says "fight fire with fire", but the leaders of the world fight fire with words. Instead of sending forces, they are busy being quoted by the press, saying what we all want to hear. Once again, the world acts like this is high school, as the teachers preach to the "problem" teens. This may be unfair and even irritating at times, but it is actually very understandable. The leaders think of their people first, and don't want to take the risk of provoking a ticking bomb. Since I believe in the good nature of humanity, I always saw in the actions that have been the best solution, considering the circumstances. I wrote "saw" in past tense, because everything changed a couple of days ago. I read about the embargo the western world cast on Iran, as a reaction for the failure of the diplomatic conversations. This seemed like the smart thing to do- now Iran will feel an economic pressure like never before, its economy will collapse, and they will not be able to complete their evil plan to "take over the world" (Achmadinijad's words, not mine…). After reading this headline in the paper, I put a smile on my face, but it soon disappeared. It took me a few seconds to realize this embargo, this diplomatic solution, may hurt the decision makers of Iran, but it hurts the citizens. It hurts the millions of people who will feel the inflation in every action, every day. In Syria things are far more worse, because for every day the world chooses to stay out, people lose their lives for no apparent reason.
As much as I hate to say this, a diplomatic solution may not be the answer for every issue. While wanting to keep the world intact, we need to keep in mind that by staying out of Syria and Iran, we may put people at risk. I must admit that even though I tend towards the idea of an attack, I am very scared of the consequences, considering my residency. I know there is no magical solution, and I am well aware of the complexity. However, this is, indeed, not my decision to make. As much as I am relieved that I'm not in charge of a country, I am anxious because those who are in charge are clueless. Now is the time for them to stop playing games, and sit down, no excuses, until they make the right, reasonable, call. Soon, it may be too late. It is now the world leaders' turn to think to themselves whether this damage is irreconcilable or just collateral…

•The best of the humanity: the kind staff of Volfson Hospital in Holon, Israel, decided to provide abandoned babies a good memory for the future. The staff has decided to make a photo album for each newborn, which doesn't have present parents to capture his first moments in the world. The photos will be taken by the hospital's carrying staff and will be handed to wherever those lone children would be taken to.
•On Thursday, the members of the international Zionist youth movement gathered in Jerusalem for the celebration of 85 years since established. The 10,000 young leaders of the movement come from 24 countries worldwide. Only 1500 of them came to celebrate, but the joy was all over the place.
•A little bit late, but still respectable, Israel mentioned the Fourth of July in various celebrations. Besides the parties and some fancy dinners, the theatre of Holon threw a festive show, with American Folk songs, the best of the best American singers and bands of all times. There were also very interesting lectures about the History of the U.S and the U.S- Israeli relationship, an American film festival, and more.
•Hungarian authorities arrested the Nazi war criminal Laszlo Csatary, after reporters of the British Sun, knocked on his door and tried to confront him about his alleged past. The reporters received new evidence which was brought by Israel's Simon Wiesenthal Centre to the prosecutor in Budapest last week. The evidence allegedly linked Csatary to a list of crimes committed against Jews during WW II. According to the accusations, Csatary is one of the most wanted Nazis, who managed to escape from the authorities for years, changing his identity and moving from place to place until settling in Hungary. He is wanted for playing a key role in deporting about 15,700 Jews to the Auschwitz death camp.
•Israel's ground shook several months ago, when the subject of discrimination by Ultra- Orthodox men towards women from outside of their community filled the headlines. There were several major stories during this period: one was regarding a small religious girl, who was spit on by an older man, for being "not modest enough"; the second revolved around a young secular woman, who was yelled at by Haredi Men for daring to sit in the front of a bus. The two stories were accompanied by a nation-wide scandal, which grew bigger when the issue of public women discrimination in areas of Jerusalem and Bney-Braq became a public discussion. It addressed the growing absence of women in various advertisements, even the ones who originally had women in them (the faces were covered, or removed). Earlier this week, we came closer to mitigating the issue: the State has told the High Court that from now on, the Transport Ministry will enforce the freedom of advertising on buses and would stipulate that the condition of receiving a public transportation license be non-discrimination in advertising.
•Israel can now add another cultural achievement: the celebrated Israeli director, Joseph Cedar was invited to join the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (yes, the ones from the Academy Awards). Cedar is known for his Academy Award Nominee films: Footnote, and The Bufor, and many other excellent films.

Because we are all a part of the human nature, even us, the perfect Israelis, have the tendency of self-criticizing. One of the most common topics where we have a problem with, well, ourselves, is Israeli movies. In the past decade, our film industry flourishes, as more and more Israelis and non-Israelis enjoy Israeli films. However, for a long time now we all have the same complaint: all Israeli films deal with either one of the big Israeli conflict: religion-secularity, the Holocaust, or Jews -Palestinians. But once in ten films or so, comes a true masterpiece which contains a plain Hollywood-like plot and performances. One of those masterpieces is: The Debt, which even received a Hollywood adaptation. But before The Debt, in 2004, there was Lelechet al Ha'Maim (Walk on Water), which makes many other Israeli films look like high-school productions.
It tells the story of Eyal, an agent for the Mossad, the Israeli security service. He is a hitman who targets enemies of Israel. His wife has recently committed suicide, and the agency decides that he needs to take on a less challenging assignment: to find an aging Nazi war criminal and get him "before God does". He is a hard shell and is very stiff and old fashioned. On his way to "seal the deal", Eyal meets the target's granddaughter and gay grandson, and a Palestinian young man, which gradually help him fight his inner-daemons. To complete the deep, meaningful side of the movie, there is non-stop James Bond style action and some breathtaking shots of the most beautiful places in Israel.
Lalechet al Ha'Maim is, in a way, one of a kind: it combines many of the cliché' Israeli conflicts, but also manages to be a grand blasting action movie with a very big budget. Oh, and I almost forgot the best part: it stars Lior Ashkenazi, who was, and still is, the most talented (and good looking) Israeli actor.

I am not a political analyst. I can't foresee political scandals and can't predict politicians' next moves. I am nothing but a common Israeli citizen who reads the paper. My modest point of view is of a head of a party, the biggest we've got, who instead of thinking first and then doing, does first and only then thinks. It seems like Shaul Mofaz, the chairman of Kadima party, hasn't decided yet who he wishes to impress more: the Prime Minister, or the voters.
It was only two months ago when I wrote about Shaul Mofaz's odd declaration to join Netanyahu's coalition, after beating Tzipi Livni for the position of the head of Kadima. While admitting this unity government may be good for Israel in the long term, there was no doubt it made Mofaz seem like a sad person with no principles, who would do anything to get a seat in the Cabinet. Back then, it seemed like he did absolutely nothing for the party he represents, and the electors who believed in their agenda. He simply joined the coalition, no conditions, no nothing. This made Mofaz's popularity drop abruptly. People believed in him and he merely sold out. But just when people lost their hope, he rose back up, claiming that if Netanyahu refuses to accept Kadima's terms regarding the draft of Haredi to the IDF, Kadima would return to the opposition.
At their lowest point, they've reached us right where it hurts- the draft. Nowadays, it seems to be one of the top two issues that the Minister who takes them the most seriously,would become the most popular amongst us. When it comes to the Haredi recruitment to the IDF, Mofaz and Netanyahu managed to settle on most criteria and find a common ground with both demands. The one thing they couldn't agree over was the age for the draft. Mofaz insisted on a draft at the age of 18 (like any other non-privileged Israeli), while Netanyahu who wishes to please the Haredi as well, insisted on an additional five years for them at a Yeshiva before the draft. Obviously there's more to it than age, since drafting at the age of 23, while most of them already have families, means paying them much more. Honestly, the rest of the criteria were, in my opinion, far more drastic than this one, but it seems like Mofaz wasn't able to miss a big wave of cheers from the mass. So he quit. After two months of mostly arguing with Netanyahu over the Haredi draft, Mofaz returned to the opposition. Well, I hope at least he got to enjoy the fancy coalition goodies (after all, it is a known fact they serve better coffee there) before returning to his position as head of the opposition.
I can't help but being cynical right now, because hands down- this is ridiculous. Mofaz doesn't know what he wants- more political privileges or principles. I can honestly say I appreciate him for standing up for his beliefs, and not letting Netanyahu bend him over. Nonetheless, I can't help but remember the last time, where he probably emptied his head from his own mind. I don't know whether to believe him or not, because he might change his mind yet again, while ignoring many of his fellow Kadima Ministers, after listening to them this time. I can't even make a complete sentence here without encountering vertigo. So I'll conclude this post in a great appreciation for the action itself, which seems to be putting the citizens of Israel first, as well as a hinge of suspicion for not knowing what Mofaz plans ahead.

I just so happened to watch To Rome with Love the very same day I read that Woody Allen said he is not ruling out the possibility to film in Israel. I am not a big Allen fan, and accordingly, I had a bit of a difficulty to connect to the somewhat strange plot. But in spite of the fact I wasn't sympathetic towards any of the characters or continued thinking about the plot at home, I had this urge to book a flight to Rome. This is the second time a movie attracted me to a city in such an intense level. The first time was after I watched Vicky, Christina, Barcelona- another Allen film.
What can I say? Allen's got a magical touch. He makes the location the main character, and the absence of one human main character in his ensemble films makes the location even more emphasized. It is something you cannot miss, even if you are hooked to the plot. It is something you feel inside, this admiration for a breathtaking city where all those mysterious people live. A place that even the characters take some time off of their daily routine to admire. "Location, location, location" seems to be a phrase Allen often keeps in mind lately. It's not a new rule in cinema, for we've seen it before in many Hollywood films putting yet another American city on the tourists' maps. But Allen's different. First of all, because he takes a financial risk as he chooses a foreign location, which combines a use of a foreign language, which can easily make his films somewhat "niche". And secondly, because he doesn't just make the viewers think to themselves that next time they go to Europe they might pay a visit to this certain city; he makes the viewers think of the city, and not stop until they either book a flight or tragically realize they can't afford a vacation right now.
When I watched To Rome with Love, I saw myself there, walking among the Piazzas, smelling a fresh-from-the-oven Pizza and drinking espresso. I saw myself having a candlelight dinner under the moonlight with my loved one, and walking, hand in hand, through the enchanting European streets, listening to Italian music and breathing Italian air. When I opened my eyes, the light went on and the audience was leaving the theater. I can hardly remember the plot right now, but I know I must visit Rome and feel all of what Allen made me feel through the screen. I didn't think about the Italian promiscuous former Prime-minister, or about Italy's financial difficulties; all I read about in the papers meant nothing to me after watching To Rome with Love- I just wanted to be there.
It's not a wild dream to believe Allen will film in Israel someday: lately, more and more filmmakers and television productions choose to add Israel as one of their locations. You Don't Mess with the Zohan, the Debt, and Homeland's second season is just a shortlist of big productions filmed in Israel in the past couple of years. I wish Allen decides to film here, because an Allen Israeli film would give the audience what all of the other Allen films give: a genuine point of view on the place. It is very easy to rule out a vacation location because of what we read in the papers, especially when it comes to Europe. That's why I thank the lord for Woody Allen's filmmaking, which shows that all that we read in the papers doesn't reflect what truly matters: the streets, the scenery, the atmosphere, the people. This is the real Rome, and this is the real Israel. I know for sure that an Allen movie featuring Israel would do justice to this magnificent place that many find it difficult to see through the headlines. This is the magic of the movies: they can take you anywhere and make it feel like you are in a parallel universe. But the best part is that it's real. It's all real. All we have to do is leave the theater and book a flight.

text: WASHINGTON (AFP) — The US government watchdog on religious freedom abroad criticized India for refusing to grant its representatives visas, after their planned trip came under fire from Hindu conservatives. India joins only Cuba in refusing a visit by the US commission, which has been allowed to visit even nations whose records it frequently criticizes such as China and Saudi Arabia. A delegation of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) had planned to leave on June 12 for India, where it has voiced concern about a rise in communal violence.

Call it 'balls deep', 'all in', or 'all out'...I'm hitting the gym hard as hell the next four weeks and supplementing with what I believe to be one of the most solid natural testosterone boosting stacks on the market, in order to give me a natural edge.
Testosterone Recovery Stack
Day #1 :
Sent in my blood test to ZRT Laboratory. Tested for Testosterone and Estrodiol.
Slathered on Sustain Alpha, took a scoop of Toco-8 with breakfast.
Will be taking two scoops of EndoAmp after workouts, with a protein shake.
Tips: When you decide to do a home blood test, make sure to soak your hands in hot water first. I didn't do this and I seem to have 'thick' blood...so it took a little effort/time to get the blood to drip onto the test sheet.
Sustain Alpha smells excellent. I applied one pump on each shoulder, three pumps spread out over my stomach and sides, and one pump on my sack. I have a hairy chest and haven't gotten around to shaving it yet, but will soon.
I'll be keeping a workout log to go along with this as well, its TIME TO TURN UP THE HEAT BABY!

Cardinal-red wreaths, balloons, sentimental cards and uniforms all adorned the grounds around the Stan Musial statue at Busch Stadium in St. Louis last week.
The great baseball player, who played a whopping 22 seasons for my hometown St. Louis Cardinals, passed away Jan. 19 at the age of 92, leaving a city in mourning for the much-adored "perfect knight" of baseball.
Numbers easily prove the greatness of Musial: an impressive .331 batting average, three-time World Series Champion, three-time National League MVP, seven-time National League batting champion, 93.2 percent vote for induction in the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot.
He leaves behind a legacy of rarely-matched talent on the field and an even greater legacy of upstanding citizenry and profound moral character off the field.
Contemporary sports journalist Bob Costas remembered a dinner he shared with Musial and Mickey Mantle, another ephemeral baseball icon, while eulogizing Musial Saturday.
At the dinner, Costas recalled Mantle avoiding consuming alcohol, the vessel that would ultimately be the demise of his life, out of respect for the straight-and-narrow Musial.
Mantle conceded that although statistics, accolades and talent might have been on his side — debatable as that might be — he could never hold a candle to Musial.
"Stan was a better player than me because he's a better man than me," Costas remembered of the dinner conversation.
Musial's legacy — blazingly illuminated by Mantle's candid confession — is that of a great man. Sometimes, the simple words do the most justice.
I thought of another legacy — that of my grandmother's — at her visitation on Wednesday afternoon. She passed away suddenly just a few hours before Musial.
Ten years ago, following the death of my grandfather, grandma got a job — something she had not done in many years. She gave out samples at a suburban St. Louis Costco store.
What may seem as a relatively inane and dispensable job turned out to be the means for grandma to touch so many people's lives in the most indelible fashion.
Over the last nine years, she was not a sample lady. She became a friend, substitute mother and grandmother, confidant, therapist, cheerleader and role model.
The visitation revealed the extent of her importance. A huge contingent of coworkers bade farewell, and, to the utter bewilderment of our family, so did customers.
Her extension of love over the years created familial bonds with dozens of Costco regulars. So many well-wishers described her as a "great woman" — much akin to the hundreds of descriptions of Musial.
Page 2 of 2 - Musial's family reached beyond the ties of blood.
Many St. Louisans remember him fondly as a father-, brother-, grandfather- or uncle-like figure in their lives. So many times over the last week, perfect strangers declared to me about grandma, "She was part of my family."
So, what remains once Stan the Man hung up jersey and hung up the cleats is not so different from when my grandma took off her apron.
It doesn't matter what you do in life so much as who you are and how you treat others.
Moral fiber counts more than any award.
Unflinching love is worth more than a thousands homes.
What kind of legacy will you leave? Personally, I strive to match the character of Stan Musial and the love and generosity of Judy Dundon.

System Protection Description
System Protection is a bogus security application that may often surprise its victims by entering a computer system without the computer user's authorization. Claiming to provide advanced protection for your computer system, in reality System Protection is part of a well-known scam. Criminals attempt to trick gullible computer users into purchasing fake security software like System Protection with the help of Trojans and malicious scripts. System Protection belongs to a family of fake security scanners which includes bogus security software like Security Shield, Windows Pro Scanner or Virus Doctor. This family of rogue security programs is known as the Rogue.VirusDoctor family, although it can be detected with various aliases. System Protection and its clones all employ the same basic strategy to carry out their attack, infecting a computer system without authorization, displaying constant error messages and false positives, and then claiming that a paid version of System Protection is required to remove these nonexistent problems. ESG security analysts strongly advise against purchasing System Protection; instead, System Protection should be removed with the aid of a reliable anti-malware application from a reputed source.
How Criminals Infect a Computer System with System Protection
System Protection enters a computer system with the help of a dropper or downloader Trojan. Examples of Trojans that have been linked to the System Protection rogue security program include the the Fake Microsoft Security Essentials Alert and the Zlob Trojan. Trojans associated with System Protection can be acquired from all kinds of sources. For example, criminals can spread System Protection-related Trojans by disguising them as video codecs on pornographic video websites. When trying to open a video, the computer user will receive a message claiming that a certain codec is needed to play the video and providing a link. Clicking on this link actually downloads and installs a Trojan that may then install System Protection and other malware on the victim's computer system. System Protection in particular has also been linked to malicious advertisements which promote fake security software and offer to scan the victim's computer in search for spyware or malware. The result of these fake scans will always be a message claiming that there are problems with the victim's computer and prompting the victim to download System Protection. Some variants of these fake online scanners do not wait for the victim's authorization and will simply attempt to inject a Trojan related to System Protection by exploiting known application, browser or operating system vulnerabilities.

This is Jack.
He begged me to take his picture last weekend.
It wasn't our first meeting, but Jack was in an especially friendly mood this time.
He would not be ignored.
He followed my camera around like and over-sized puppy.
So, I figured the least I could do was snap his portrait.
He is a beauty, after all.
This shot almost makes his silky black coat look brown, but I could not resist that morning sun streaming in behind him.
It's too bad horses don't read blogs because I'm sure he'd be pleased by the results.
Thanks, Jack!

Sometimes finding a lawyer is a litigant's biggest battle. That's what Catherine Levandovsky realized two years ago when she was looking for an attorney to help her mother fight gas companies that wanted to move the bodies in her family's 114-year-old cemetery. More than seven firms turned Levandovsky down when they learned her mother didn't want to file a separate suit to seek damages against the companies, she says. Matt McCormick of Huntsville represents the plaintiffs.

Detroit's Packard Plant Faces Foreclosure For Unpaid Taxes
Occupy LA Offers Aid to Columbine Shooting Survivor Facing a Fight to Save his Home from Foreclosure
Foreclosure Starts Slowed for August
While Wells Fargo shareholders gathered Tuesday to vote on executive compensation, hundreds of Occupy activists and foreclosure victims gathered outside the bank's headquarters to air their grievances.
Police arrested at least nine protestors and ordered shareholders to stay inside the building while the crowds outside dispersed.
Several protestors were allowed in the meeting because they owned stock in the bank, but were escorted out of the building after they continued to interrupt CEO John Stumpf during a presentation about the company's $15.9 billion profit last year.
While some protestors were shouting about economic disparity, hundreds of others were there because Well Fargo foreclosed on their homes. In numerous cases, Wells Fargo has denied mortgage modifications, requested by foreclosure attorneys and loan holders, even when the homeowners are qualified.
"Wells Fargo is one of the largest and most corrupt Wall Street banks and has foreclosed on hundreds of thousands of homes," said Move On East Bay organizer Charles Davidson.
Wells Fargo is largest mortgage originator in the U.S. The protestors demanded that the banks halt all foreclosures while they investigate and reform their paperwork practices. Faulty paperwork pushed by the bank have led to a number of wrongful foreclosures and while some people have been able to stay in their homes with the aid of a foreclosure lawyer, many other have fallen prey to fraudulent practices.
When someone has received a default notice, they are advised to hire an experienced foreclosure attorney to outline their options to avoid foreclosure.

Editors: The story Philippines Typhoon, which was last published at 8:54 p.m. on Saturday, December 8, incorrectly stated the scale of Typhoon Bopha. It is the strongest tropical cyclone to hit the Philippine island of Mindanao in decades, not the strongest to hit the Philippines in decades. It is the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year. Also, the byline and dateline on the story were outdated. The byline should have been "CNN Staff" and the story should not have carried a dateline. Please correct all copy as needed.

Ashley Baumann, 24, of Merrill is facing nine felonies after police say she drove drunk, crashing her car resulting in the death of two women while seriously injuring a third.
Baumann made her initial appearance in Lincoln County Court Monday and was charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, two counts of homicide with a prohibited alcohol concentration, two counts of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle, causing great bodily harm by use of a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration, and reckless driving.
Jessica Hartwig, 33, and Misty Glisch, 31, were killed.
According to the criminal complaint, the surviving passenger, Jerrica Woller, 29, warned Baumann about her reckless driving minutes before the fatal crash.
Woller told investigators she jumped out of the car at a stop sign on the corner of Mill Road and Heldt Street because she was so frightened at how fast Baumann was driving. Woller says Baumann told her she would drive safer, so she got back in.
They crashed just minutes later on Alexander Street, near Heldt Street on Merrill's west side.
It happened around 3:30 am when Baumann lost control of the vehicle and continued into a farm field at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle rolled several times and ejected Hartwig, Glisch and Baumann. Data retrieved from the car showed the vehicle was traveling at a rate of speed of 92-99 mph at 100 percent throttle in the seconds leading up to the crash.
Nearly four hours after the crash a blood draw was performed at the hospital to determine Baumann's blood alcohol concentration, which was found to be .157 by the state crime lab. It's nearly two times more than the legal limit for driving.
She is free on a $500 cash bond and a $4,500 signature bond. A judge ordered her to have no contact with the victims' families or the survivor, Jerrica Woller. She may also not consume alcohol or enter a bar.
Glisch's parents, Edward and Jean Glisch, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baumann and her insurance company, American Family Mutual Insurance. They're demanding a money judgment.
Baumann will have a preliminary hearing on Dec. 19th.

Miami Football team rap song, (circa mid-2000s). I'm sure some people have seen this before, but I just came across it. Don't know if Nevin Shapiro tried to help these guys score a record deal by financially-backing them.
Some of it was kind of funny, i.e. "G-Reg" (TE Greg Olsen), but then again...all in all - just too graphic.
I wonder what would have happened if a group of OSU players made a rap song with these kind of lyrics, a few years back? I bet ESPiN'S Bob Ley & Outside the Lines would still be talking about it today.
* WARNING * : Graphic lyrics/content. Don't shoot the messenger.


text: Home Culture 'Red Tails': Black Men Fighting 2 Wars The new film explores how Tuskegee Airmen were up against both the Nazis and racism in the U.S. By: Jean McGianni Celestin Posted: Jan. 13 2012 3:54 PM 0 Lucasfilm Ltd. In fast-paced, action-packed sequences, Red Tails illustrates the story of young African-American servicemen, the Tuskegee Airmen, caught in two wars: one against Nazi Germany and the other against the racism of the country they were fighting for. Executive producer George Lucas and director Anthony Hemingway take viewers from eye-twisting battle scenes to socially poignant conversations between the characters. Starring Hollywood veterans Terrence Howard as Col. A.J. Bullard and Cuba Gooding Jr. as Major Emanuel Stance, alongside rising stars Nate Parker as Martin "Easy" Julian and David Oyelowo as Joe "Lightning" Little, the movie shows in its opening image the air squadron flying what is supposed to be a relatively low-key patrol over a serene Italian countryside. Led by their unflappable flight leader, Easy, they try to maintain a sense of dignity despite being relegated to what is considered mop-up duty in a war where white servicemen were assigned the most honorable missions and were recognized as the only real heroes. During the errand run, the Red Tails (the name referred to the color of the tails on their planes) come across a moving train that appears to be carrying civilian cargo, only to realize that it's a heavily armed German convoy equipped with troops and artillery. Easy cautions the team to approach with prudence. But Lightning, the talented yet rebellious, hot-tempered pilot of the bunch, decides to engage the enemy in spite of Easy's orders and wages a vaunted assault on the German train, a battle that puts the Tails at risk and leaves viewers on the edge of their seats. Continually at odds throughout the film, Parker's and Oyelowo's characters represent dual characteristics often reflected in male characters on-screen: Easy's conformity to the way things are versus Lightning's defiance because of the way things should be. The film goes on to explore and reveal in bits and pieces the conflict between the two characters, which is woven into the burden they face trying to prove that they belong in what was a segregated and bigoted U.S. military. The movie shifts through several more episodes of adversity, including Col. Bullard's seemingly vain crusade to get his white superior, Col. William Mortamus, played by Bryan Cranston, to allow the Red Tails to fly real missions like the white squadrons. The story of the Tuskegee Airmen is one of sheer bravery and humanity, yet it's a narrative that almost never has been told because of Hollywood's unwillingness to promote big-budget black films with a predominantly black cast. Lucas began developing the movie in 1988 and tried to produce it in 1992. But it wasn't until nearly two decades later, after almost all of the established production companies passed on the project, that he decided to fund it himself and turn the film into a reality. "I wanted to make an inspirational for teenage boys," said Lucas during an appearance on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. "I wanted to show that they have heroes and, you know, it's not Glory, where you have a lot of white officers running these guys into cannon fire. They were real heroes." Lucas' toil to finally get Red Tails onto the big screen serves as a symbolic echo to the central theme of the movie, which ultimately is about faith, determination and brotherhood. Opening nationwide on Jan. 20, Lucas' cinematic version of the Tuskegee Airmen's real-life experiences is but a CliffsNotes version of the real thing. But hopefully, the film will pry open the channels of discourse that will empower more African Americans' stories to be told in ways that aren't diminishing or compromising.

Filing bankruptcy is a viable option for many indebted persons. You still have two types of bankruptcy you may be qualified to file. If you have lost your job and are over burdened with debt and you have no major assets to protect a Chapter 7 is probably best. If your home is mortgaged and you have a note on your car you may need to file a Chapter 13 in order to keep your home your means of transportation and any other items that secure a debt.
The chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out all your debts if you pass the means test and are deemed unable to pay back any of your debts. You can file another Chapter 7 bankruptcy only after 8 years has passed. You can however file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy as soon as 4 years after your Chapter 7 bankruptcy is discharged.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows game-fully employed individuals the option to reduce their debts significantly to the tune of what they can afford to pay within a 3-5 year period. This provides enough relief for some. The filer pays a reduced sum into an account based on their income. If their income is below the state's median income the payment plan is structured for 36 months. If your income is above the median income a 60 month payment plan is used.
Payments begin as early as 30 days after you file for bankruptcy. Payments are calculated after allowing for cost of living expenses like housing rent or mortgage payments food medicine utilities car payments etc. Priority debts must be paid in full (i.e. state and federal taxes). Unsecured debts are paid back at a rate or 0-100% of what is owed. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows the filer to keep their mortgaged home or financed vehicles. Chapter 13 bankruptcies are usually discharged after 4 years and filers can file Chapter 13 bankrupties once every 2 years.
Consult a bankruptcy lawyer before you select the correct type of bankruptcy for you. The general guidelines are if you are below the poverty line for your state then you can file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you make enough money to pay your bills but just need some relief due to excessive billing and threats of law suits filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will halt all collection activities and pending legal actions.
You should be certain bankruptcy is your only option before you proceed with it because of these facts. Bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years. It lowers your score as much as 100 points. Continuing to have credit agency receive delinquency and slow payment report as well as notices of judgments against you also lowers your credit score. You have to decide which scenario is better for you in the long run. Will you be able to consolidate the debts and eventually repay all of them or do you need help resolving your debt? Is bankruptcy the most effective way for you to resolve your debt issues?
Sometimes bankruptcy is best because it resolves issues that have the potential for making your life very difficult. If having your check garnished would create hardship and cause you to have problems with your employer and maybe lose your job bankruptcy may be your best option. If creditors are repeatedly taking you to court and suing you bankruptcy may be right for you. Filing bankruptcy could put an end to this issue. You may be missing days at work for court appearances once again threatening your employment status. Filing bankruptcy may be the answer for this dilemma. After evaluating all the financial challenges you face and the actions your creditors have taken and will take it's reasonable to decide to get immediate relief from all that stress by filing bankruptcy.

I have never heard that about the egg whites. I get my eggs from a organic delivery service and it's the next best thing to having my own chickens I guess.
One more thing about raw eggs..

Other then eating them raw in a smoothie, when I do cook them, I do try to eat them as minimally cooked as possible. Drives my husband nuts to hear me slurping my eggs...lol.

P.S. Oh, and if you live in an area that is warm enough to sustain pansies through the winter, by all means have some fun with them and add a bit of dazzle to your culinary presentations - they're so pretty and ............. did you know that they're edible!?
Sugar-Seared Salmon w/ Sweet & Spicy Orange-Coconut Sauce
Ingredients for the salmon:
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets**
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Ingredients for the sauce:
½ cup marmalade, I used my Meyer Lemon, Ginger & Orange Marmalade, but you could use any good quality marmalade.
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha*
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons peanut butter
1 clove garlic, finely minced
½ med jalapeno, finely minced
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
Directions for the sauce:
1. Combine all the ingredients except the cilantro in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute then whisk to combine all ingredients. Add chopped cilantro just before serving. Sauce can be made early in the day and stored in the refrigerator. Warm in microwave just before serving.
Directions for the salmon:
1. Mix sugar, sea salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle salmon fillets on both sides with the sugar mixture and pat to coat. Use all of the mixture.
2. Melt butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Add salmon and cook until crusty and caramelized on outside and just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to plates and drizzle with Sweet & Spicy Orange-Coconut Sauce.
*Sriracha is available at most grocers in the Asian section.
**Buy the freshest salmon you can find. I don't have a good fishmonger nearby, so I usually buy my salmon frozen, at Costco. It is flash-frozen right off the boat and is always delicious, never fishy tasting and quite reasonable. It comes with each piece vacuum-sealed so you can unthaw just the amount you need.

Computers Need a Sense of Context
Feature written for Wired.co.uk for their Turing Week.
I spoke to Noah Goodman and Michael Frank – cognitive scientists at Stanford University – about the first mathematical model of shared context between speakers and why it's the key to making computers better at conversation.
"Our best AI systems right now tend to be employed by companies as phone-answering services," says Michael Frank, head of Stanford University's Language and Cognition Lab. "But try explaining to these things that you want to cancel a fraudulent charge on your credit card." He laughs. "You can see there's a long way to go. They're weak at understanding what you said, but they're weakest at going from what you said to what you actually meant."
When communicating, context is king. Meaning is often conveyed as much by what isn't said as by what is. For instance, the proposal "Would you like to go for a coffee?" can be turned down with the words "Ihave to return some library books", even though, taken out of context, those words do not constitute a rejection. But computers can be literal to a fault, with such indirectness lost on them.
Frank and colleague Noah Goodman, also a cognitive scientist at Stanford, have developed a mathematical encoding of what they call "common knowledge" and "informativeness" in human conversation. "We have a vastly powerful predictive model of the world," says Goodman. "When somebody goes to understand a statement that somebody else has made, they're making the best guess about the meaning of that statement, incorporating all these factors like informativeness and context."

You don´t have to be crazy to vote Democrat but it helps.
It is not hard to guess who is behind such drives, which are the reductio ad absurdum of democracy.
´BO gets mentally ill vote"Isn´t that a better headline?
Translation: their families viewed them as loved ones, but we just need warm bodies to keep the gravy train moving.
"He also said that . . . a patient's right to vote takes priority over any objections from guardians."Put a different way, they´ll continue the practice because they can, and it allows them opportunities to cast two, three, or more votes for their own choices, by ´helping´ patients fill out their ballots.
There are a lot of Red States but I doubt if the majority of public employees of even one state vote GOP.Having state employees ´assist´ will produce a small but reliable bloc of Democrat votes where and when it is done.Maybe state universities could cast the votes of all the students? Just make it an admission requirement.
One of the requirements to register to vote in Texas is that you must not have been judicially declared mentally incompetent. Any adult who has had a guardian appointed for them has to have been declared mentally incompetent first. I notice that North Carolina does not have this restriction. Thus, even a person declared mentally incompetent by a court can still vote there. Were I a NC resident, I would want that fixed.
They were doing this with my daughter, who is profoundly retarded, until I found out . They were SHOCKED that I didn´t want her to."that way you get to vote twice!," they claimed. Typical liberals assume everyone is one of them!!!
Translation: Democrat Operatives will be more than happy to assist your insane relatives to vote.
Next stop, the cemeteries!
IMHO, very few who push this do so for any legitimate reason[s].Further, there is no "right" to vote. Anyone informed on the Constitution understands this.
NO ONE has the RIGHT to vote.....we have a duty to vote...no where is it written that voting is a right....wont findit anywhere in the Consitutuion....
#8, in Texas each guardianship may cover different aspects of the person´s life. I am a guardian for a disabled adult; however, this particular disabled adult retains his right to vote. Why? Because in his personal situation, he is not competent to enter into contracts, but he is aware of politics and is an avid student of history. (And as for the theory some have here about 100% of such people voting Democrat...the person I´m speaking of nearly always votes Republican. Nothing is 100% in this world...except death and taxes.)
The instiutionalized person should be allowed to vote if accompanied by a family member or a guardian. No hospital employee or someone campaigning for a candidate should be allowed to take the person to the poll and tell them how to vote. This is not ideal, but if the law allows them to vote, the vote should not be hi-jacked by a democrate.
My mother was in an assisted living facility in the 2008 election and was confused most of the time. On a visit to see her after the election, she was rambling about something, and said something about voting for Obama because she wanted "change." I was apalled that my life-long Republican mother was talked into voting for BO. Thankfully, she passed away before the 2012 election.
For Dems, there´s no such thing as "too low".
They´re coming to take me away, ha ha ho ho hee hee..... to the polls!
How about we schedule an NRA membership drive too?Think that would be okay?
When I registered to vote in NY State in 1964, I had to show proof of literacy.The 1965 Voting Rights Act killed off any test of literacy.And prior to 1965, ballots were printed in English. Now, in some voting precincts, the ballots are printed in multiple languages.Yet citizenship requires that a person be literate in English.that contradiction is never explained.
No.20: A small correction. NATURALIZATION requires English literacy. Citizenship does not. For instance, Puerto Ricans are citizens but may or may not be fluent or literate in English. That becomes a problem when they move to one of the States and vote there.
The issue is not about the rights of those who want to vote but about those who get steam-rollered into an Acorn type aggregate of votes tallied in the names of those who were truly incompetent and disinterested.
When Obamacare is fully implemented, the disabled will be allowed one more vote in election years and then encouraged to die with dignity right after the election.
This is absoultely pathetic! The Liberals have gone to their lowest point but somehow I believe they can do worse.
I agree there´s a problem with mentally ill people voting.But - I have a bigger problem when the mentally ill run for and are elected to the House and Senate!
It would be nice if someone could stand outside by the street and hold a sign saying, "Democrats soliciation drive here".
You can see why the liberal Democrats always blame a gun when a mentally ill person goes on a shooting rampage. The mentally ill can vote, guns can´t!
Here in MA we conduct them at funeral parlors too.
It´s an abusive practice. Maybe a recovered person could sue the pants off the perpetrators of this abuse.
I thought the democrats had been casting ballots on behalf of the mentally ill, the dead, the jailed, those out of the country, those that have moved, the unregistered, etc for years.
Sorry, but if they are not competent enough to:live alonebuy a firearmdrive a carand need a legal guardian to sign documents and pay billsThen they are unable to vote.
By law, the mentally ill and developmentally disabled are barred from entering a contract. So why is it they´re not barred from voting? This is all part of the demonrat fraud scheme.
