Tesla Motors chooses Scottsdale to reach Arizona and the world
July 18, 2012Contact: Kelly Corsette, communications and public affairs director, 480 312-2336, firstname.lastname@example.com
Tesla Motors chooses Scottsdale to reach Arizona and the world
Tesla Motors' new storefront inside Scottsdale Fashion Square is already proving to be a popular stop inside the bustling shopping destination. Displaying two of the electric car maker's latest "Model S" sedans, Tesla employees are being kept busy by potential customers and lots more people who just want a closer look at what the California automaker calls "performance for the 21st century."
For Scottsdale's economic development department, Tesla's opening signals a growing rebound among several key business sectors including auto retail, sustainability, and technology.
"Tesla is a ground-breaking, innovative American company that matches Scottsdale's premium brand," says Mayor W.J. "Jim" Lane. "It is an example of the extraordinary one-of-a-kind companies that we have been successful in attracting."
According to Tesla, Scottsdale is a perfect fit for their lone southwest U.S. storefront because the city is a premium lifestyle destination that whose residents and visitors represent the affluent buyers who are seeking that kind of purchase. Many people already on the waiting list to own a Tesla vehicle are in the Scottsdale area.
The Tesla storefront here is certainly not a traditional auto dealership. Besides being inside Scottsdale Fashion Square mall, people can't actually buy the vehicles here. They can, however, see them up close, speak with experts, and make appointments to test drive a Tesla before placing their order online.
It is perhaps a sign of the changes ahead as economic development departments like Scottsdale's reshape themselves to attract the businesses and employees of future industries.
Tesla's opening comes on the heels of Jobing's relocation to SkySong. The company best known for its one-stop-shop career website, Jobing.com, picked Scottsdale because of a lifestyle and amenities that appeal to their employees. Jobing is among a number of technology and software companies setting up shop in SkySong and downtown Scottsdale.
"It's always been difficult to land the big employer, the one with thousands of employees," says Cindi Eberhardt, Scottsdale's assistant director of economic development. "But this community is attractive to all kinds of people, and we are seeing many smaller but very innovative and often well-known companies come through the door because they want to be a part of Scottsdale."
The department soon will launch a new website focused on business attraction and retention, and remains engaged with businesses and potential businesses to make Scottsdale a success for them.
Reach Scottsdale's economic development department at 480-312-7989 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Firefox Metro development begins, status update
News and other things I find interesting
Firefox Metro development begins, status update
Last modified: Saturday, March 17, 2012
As of Monday of this week, development work began on Firefox for Metro.
A bit of background on Windows 8 Metro and Firefox
It turns out that on Windows 8 there are 3 types of applications:
- Classic desktop applications
- Metro applications
- Metro style enabled desktop browsers
Firefox will fall into the third category, meaning you can run Firefox as a desktop application, and you can run it as a Metro application. Supporting the Metro side of things will require a lot of new code, so this is a very large project.
Unlike Metro applications, Metro style enabled desktop browsers have the ability to run outside of the Metro sandbox. Meaning not only can we build a browser, but we can build a powerful browser which gives an experience equal to that of a classic Desktop browser.
Metro style enabled desktop browsers have access to most Win32 API and the entire new WinRT API.
Unfortunately a browser can only participate in Metro mode if it is the default browser. So if Firefox is not the default browser on a system, you can't use it in Metro mode. This is a decision made by Microsoft.
The Firefox Metro enabled desktop browser can be, and will be included and packaged in the traditional way. I'm not certain if it will be allowed on the Windows store or not since it is not of Metro application type.
Languages we'll be programming in
We will be using the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL) which is similar to C++ / ATL.
We may also be using C++/CX which does compile down to native code but has some non-standard C++ extensions that allow for code to be about 1/10 the size.
Our hesitation in using any C++/CX code is that it will definitely require a new build environment. Personally I think it would be worth using C++/CX in the long run. WRL and C++/CX code can freely be mixed even in the same source file.
The GUI will be made mostly by painting to DirectX. XAML may be used in a very limited fashion. XAML is the main presentation layer in Windows 8 Metro if you are using a .NET enabled language or native C++. XAML is a declarative XML-based language similar to Mozilla's own XUL. XAML is familiar to WPF and Silverlight developers. XUL will most likely still be rendered to the DirectX surface.
Windows 8 has a minimum requirement of hardware that supports Direct X 9 and I'm not aware of any alternative like GDI available. So the Direct X blacklist of graphic cards we currently maintain may not be applicable in Metro mode.
Development milestones
Our first major goal is to get an experimental build of Fennec or Firefox running in Metro. This work is mainly being tracked in Bug 732518.
To get started we read the MSDN whitepaper entitled Developing a Metro style enabled Desktop Browser. This document lacked quite a bit of information though so a lot of registry hacking was needed to get things working. Jim and I documented a lot of this missing information here and here.
Most of our week was spent with registry exports, diffs, Process Monitor logs, and other tools. The first couple minor goals were to get a recognized Metro tile showing up, getting it to launch our process, and then finally displaying a Metro app.
Jim and I hit those first milestones and made a basic application which launches in Metro mode as a medium integrity process. The application doesn't do anything exciting except display a DirectX surface and draw some text to the surface that tracks mouse movement.
As a developer, your job gets pretty hard when you do a Google search for topics surrounding this barely supported third Metro application type and consistently get zero, one, or if you are lucky, two search results. All results being only slightly on topic.
Next development steps
We have several smaller goals that we want to tackle next week:
- Figure out how to make our own PRI files with our own resources.
- Get a C++/XAML application working
- Get our app launching through a delegate DLL instead of an EXE
- Figure out how to interop XAML / DirectX.
- Start to figure out how we will paint content to our DirectX surface with the graphics layer
- Figure out how to implement other contracts
- Look into native theme rendering
- Probably others
We had our first weekly developer meeting half way through the week with attendees: Robert Strong, Tim Abraldes, Jim Mathies and myself (Brian R. Bondy).
Helping out
We're still extremely early in development so we're not ready for help with things like how the UI should look yet.
If you want to help with the development effort to get Firefox up and running in Metro, we'd love to hear from you. Please sync up with us in #windev on IRC or email me directly at netzen at gmail.com.

Florian Quèze on
Friday, March 09, 2012 (09:03:18) says: Do you have to use XAML for the UI, or would it be possible to paint a XUL UI inside a direct X surface? I'm wondering if implementing the UI with XAML is a choice or a technical constraint here. |
Robert O'Callahan on
Friday, March 09, 2012 (09:03:19) says: Why do we have to use XAML for the UI? Are we able to use XAML just for the Metro UI, and retain the existing XUL interface for the desktop UI? |
Brian R. Bondy on
Friday, March 09, 2012 (09:03:17) says: So XAML UI was a bit misleading. If we use XAML it'll be very minimal and mostly just a frame that Direct X sits in. We'll still paint to Direct X and probably still use XUL as well. |

Saturday, March 10, 2012 (08:03:29) says: The whitepaper says "on the x86/64 architecture". So are we blocked from shipping the same code for ARM? Is Windows 8 for ARM going to emulate Apple-style lock-down? |
Henri Sivonen on
Saturday, March 10, 2012 (08:03:11) says: Out of curiosity: Which of the 3 categories will Microsoft Office belong to? Or is the a fourth MS-only category. And thanks for doing the Firefox porting work! |
pretzer on
Saturday, March 10, 2012 (12:03:31) says: Are there also plans to support the ARM version of Windows 8, or does your work target the x86 version only, at the moment? |

Saturday, March 10, 2012 (01:03:25) says: > Re windows store: Sure it is possible, but I wouldn't be the one doing that discussion with them. > So are we blocked from shipping the same code for ARM?

I haven't heard so not sure, but I can say for sure not the third category I mentioned. > Are there also plans to support the ARM version of Windows 8 We would love to, I'm unsure if it will be possible at this time. |
SEOHint on
Saturday, March 10, 2012 (01:03:08) says: Sorry for a little noob question. Will FF on W8 Metro support Flash? This would be a very nice feature because IE10 will not and some people have to use Flash in special webapps that are not possible in HTML5 right now. |
Brian R. Bondy on
Saturday, March 10, 2012 (01:03:47) says: > Will FF on W8 Metro support Flash? It's too early in development to know |
Suny Buffalo on
Saturday, March 10, 2012 (08:03:00) says: Much of what u say is that coding will employ these library interfaces a la metro, however, will the gecko engine also undergo changes or will it be comported to the overall UI? |

A 16-year-old Michigan high school student who authorities say struck a security officer with a vehicle in a school parking lot has pleaded guilty in the case.
The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports the boy entered the plea Monday to operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing injury. He was charged as a juvenile and is due back in court Nov. 19 for sentencing on the charge and a marijuana possession charge.
The Livingston County sheriff's department says the boy in May sprayed a household product from an aerosol can into a rag and passed out after inhaling it. Susan Hazzard was hit outside Hartland High School in Hartland Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit. She was hospitalized afterward.

The great thing about being a senator is never having to admit you were ever wrong. John was a big supporter of the Arab Spring, intervention in Libya, and Huma/Hillary, yet is never confronted on these or any of his many errors in judgment. Every new day he feels free to come before the microphones and pontificate. Every day is Groundhog Day in the US Senate, and McCain resembles Punxatawney Phil very strongly, come to think of it.

There couldn´t be a worse point man for the GOP to put out there as McCain.one of the more laughable aspects of this is getting illegals topay fines and back taxes.How do you even figure out how much tax they owe and the government will also make loans to these people to pay the fines.

Yes...and...no.For an adult who chose to come here illegally, no, I don´t think he should have a path to citizenship as a result of his action.However, for his minor children who he brought with him, who have grown up in this country and who may barely even know the country of their birth...yes, they should have a path to citizenship. These kids are placed in a horrible situation. The U.S. may be the only ´home´ they remember.

Hey McPain,Why not just close down the border gates completely and let everyone come in.Stop playing this idiotic game of visas, passports, green cards, apprehension of illegals, no apprehension, deportation, no deportation, amnesty, no amnesty, etc.Give them driver licenses, medical care, voting rights, instate tuition, tuition assistance, welfare, unemployment benefits, and free tacos, burritos, tortillas, beans, and rice at any restaurant of their choosing.

The deal shouldn´t just be for the current illegals here, but we need to increase the LEGAL quota on immigration NOW.The current illegals will need to apply, fill out the necessary paperwork, pay an application fee ($3000-5000 each), and wait in line like everyone else.It´s humane and puts the status in a LEGAL process.But, we need to increase the LEGAL quota and state we´d like say 30-50 million new immigrants over the next 20 years.Bring them from India, China, Australia, Germany, etc...It will invigorate the country with LEGAL immigrants looking to achieve the American dream.

Sorry Juan, even though the Senate and the WH are both potentially pro-amnesty, this time, unlike in 2007, the House is in firm control of the GOP. Not much is going to get through there.Even the Senate is unlikely as only the most pro-amnesty GOP Senators will vote for a ´path-to-citizenship´.

Allowing a criminal alien invader a "path to citizenship" that does not include a) filing in his "home" country and especially b) waiting in line behind every legal immigrant who has filed in his home country is exactly the same as allowing a bank robber to be exempt from all punishment if he can only avoid capture for a set number of years.At Disneyland--and most other amusement parks--"line jumpers" get thrown out, not rewarded!

They have a path to citizenship. In fact many paths: Its I-5 to Tijuana, or I-10 to Ciudad Juarez, or US77 to Matamoros, to name a few. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Even a fool would know that if 12-20 million illegal aliens are legalized and put on a "path to citizenship" that eventually about 80% of the former legalized aliens who would register to vote would become Democrat voters, that´s the way it has always been. By voting for that, the wimpy Republicans would be committed long-term political suicide by destabilizing the political balance that now exists in this country to the favor of the Democrats big time.When you listen to McCain´s comments on this issue you can see why the Republicans are known as the stupid party.There is no need to rush to grant US citizenship and US voting rights to illegal aliens, the vast majority of who would be perfectly happy to accept a conditional immigration status that allowed them to reside here indefinitely, to work, and to travel to and from the USA as long as they complied with the immigration laws. As the Presidente de Mexico has said, Mexicans like being Mexicans, and most do not need or want US citizenship. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Joe, I read that Peterson turned it down. I've also heard that he's talked to Dan Mullen at Miss State. I think he previously hired him there.
On a different note, I'm heading to the CU/USC game friday night in Boulder. 27 and possible snow. Knowing my luck, Lane Kiffin will be his typical self, I'll have to sit through the whole game and USC will win by less than a touchdown. Then we'll go back to the bar, complain about how bad CU is/will be for the next three years. I sure do love me some football.

What the Press say
"Perched on a hilltop overlooking Windermere, the beauty and tranquillity of Linthwaite House enveloped us totally. Inside, a log fire blazed and the view was so captivating it held us in its spell until darkness descended on this perfect hideaway... What a retreat and what comfort... Its all you dream of in a country hotel but rarely find... The food was as spectacular as the view, with dinner a highlight of the day." Sunderland Echo, Tuesday 27th November 2001.

What our Guests say
"The service has been outstanding. Everyone took time to talk to us and they seemed genuinely concerned that we were having a good time. They always remembered our names too, so we did not feel 'anonymous' like you can in so many hotels. The general decor and ambiance of the hotel is lovely and the natural scenery breathtaking. Then there is the food... there are no words to describe how fabulous it all was. Least liked? There isn't anything at all - except for the wellies in the porch that don't have a size 3! This is a truly exceptional hotel and we hope to be back!" MW, Chester, March 2013

In the garden
A nose for roses
Gorgeous roses have bloomed all around us during the last month, and seeing them tempts gardeners and landowners to add these magnificent plants to their landscapes. Many, many varieties are available, and choosing the right rose to get what you want can be confusing. Just some of the options include hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and miniatures. Then there are old garden and modern roses, and shrub, tree and climbing roses. And, of course, there are also the ramblers and the polyanthas. It always helps to talk to an experienced specialist, in this case a rosarian. Henrico master gardener Don Penzler is a consulting rosarian for the American Rose Society and an active member of the Richmond Rose Society. "The first question I ask is how much care you are willing to give a rose," said Penzler. "Are you willing to feed it once a month, give it enough water and treat it for diseases or insects?" Your answers to these questions and a look at the space where you're planning to plant can help you decide what type of rose is right for you. Roses can be grown in the garden or in a container, provided it is large enough. They need a minimum of six hours of sunlight each day. Without sufficient sun, roses produce fewer blooms and are more susceptible to diseases. They also need fertile soil that allows for good drainage. Roses need 1-2 inches of water weekly, more in hot weather, less in cool. "I recommend using a rain gauge," said Penzler. "A rain gauge is a good idea for any gardener. You can tell how much water you're getting from rainfall, and how much you need to provide." Penzler recommends watering the ground around the rose inside the dripline rather than watering leaves. Overhead watering can contribute to diseases like blackspot. Blackspot is the most common plant disease that affects roses. Black spots appear on leaves and within days the leaves begin to yellow and later drop from the plant. Spraying roses can help fight the disease as well as control common insect pests such as Thrips and Spider Mites. "Many people today don't have the time to spray their roses or they don't want to use the chemicals," said Penzler, "so the American Rose Society has become focused on disease-resistant roses." Penzler said that Old Garden roses, Knockout roses and many of the David Austin varieties are good choices for disease resistance. Roses need to be fertilized and deadheaded during the blooming season to insure healthy plants that continue to bloom. They also need to be pruned at the start of the season, and protected during winter months. Penzler recommends taking a look at the Richmond Rose Society's website for additional information about planting and caring for roses and a list of roses that are recommended for the Richmond area. Members of the Richmond Rose Society will also be available on May 19 and 20 at Strange's Nursery in Short Pump to help people figure out what rose best suits their needs, and the Society will hold its annual rose show at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden over the Memorial Day weekend. |

Mitch- Amazon has been hinting they might go the brick-and-mortar route.
Yeah, sometimes it's easier to start fresh than it is to try to turn around a dysfunctional company.
Still, somebody's going to get retail right for the online era. The opportunity is just to big. It might come from an online retailer moving to brick-and-mortar, rather than vice-versa.
Actually, it sounds like an impossible vision to achieve. But before you can implement a vision – real or (in this case) imagined, you need get the fundamentals right. Nothing's been right with Best Buy from a performance perspective since the middle part of last decade. They have a new CEO, Hubert Joly, who was brought in last September to restructure the company. Among other things he needs a fresh board, which is operating without a full team (there are only seven of the eleven director slots currently serving) and a good house cleaning. We'll have to wait and see what he comes up with.He has his work cut out for him.
Best Buy's vision is to own the online shopping experience as well as the offline one, so wherever you buy, Best Buy wins. Sounds like they're not executing on that well at all, though.
Mitch, I'm still wondering about the vision. Their execution is flawed, but it doesn't seem to me like they have a vision. From where I sit both as a customer and an observer, they look like they're simply trying to imitate other companies. If I've missed something, let me know - do you know what their vision is?
B.Krafte - Sounds like Best Buy's execution lags the vision.
Mitch - as a marketer and having tried (really) hard to be a customer – both online and in the store - I would have to disagree.
What's the vision, "Best Buy carries stuff?" I see nothing that differentiates them from their competition. At the store level their product selection continues to get smaller and smaller. They carry only mid-to-low-end-priced products in the store, attempting to offset the lack of choice with their private label Rocketfish – at best an iffy strategy and a very mediocre product line. Combine that with some of the worst retail merchandising I've seen (How does fitness gear, yoga mats and AA batteries for sale as old as my ten-year-old dog fit with HD TV's and computer gear?). They staff the stores with a skeleton crew whose knowledge of the products they carry outside individual departments is "not much." Then there's customer service, which in BB's case lacks the "service" part of the equation.
Their online site is a mishmash of a very limited Best Buy offering intertwined with "marketplace" stores and no clear distinction between the two. The marketplace is made up of mostly unrated stores whose idea of fast delivery is a throwback to ca. 2002 3-4 day processing time to ship.
Once upon a time Best Buy had a vision and transformed the retail electronics. Now they seem hopelessly stuck. That will continue until their founder and CEO gets out of the way in favor of a fresh sensibility and a new vision.
I agree, that is a training issue, and thats exaclty why it wouldnt be so prudent to spill such technology without training employees. I myself spend a lot of my time in stores browing stuff... and only rarely do I come across a salesman who gives me the room to 'browse'.. rest everyone seems to be overly motivated to sell, if you know what I mean. So yes although its not a technology issue, but with the current employee training conditions - having the entire fleet chasing around customers feels like a slippery slope... This is why I love Walmart.. I can roam around all I want, and If i need some help- I got some ... But thats just me.
Best Buy has been imaginative with respect to mobile too, giving their staff devices so they can make price comparisons just like customers.

SOURCE DR Power Equipment
VERGENNES, Vt., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DR Power Equipment, the iconic brand behind such machines as the DR Trimmer Mower, was built on the premise of product innovation. In the mid-1980's, the company was the first to introduce the 'string trimmer on wheels', a machine that has become a necessity for thousands of property owners.
Now DR has introduced a new way to innovate in their product lines. The company recently launched a micro-website called Pickill, where they post images and videos of new product ideas that they are considering for further development. Users can vote to "pick" or "kill" these ideas, and comment on their design and features. In addition, users can submit their own product ideas and earn $300 if their idea makes it to development. The idea is to gain customer feedback before incurring the biggest expenses associated with product development -- engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing.
Says DR's vice president of merchandising Matt Bieber, "We're excited about the Pickill site because it will allow us to design products that are exactly what our customers need on their properties. We bring the engineering expertise, they bring the first-hand understanding of their problems."
DR's president and CEO, Joe Perrotto, is similarly optimistic: "There has always been an intense drive here at DR to make high-quality equipment that solves real problems. Pickill is a great way to channel that drive and find out exactly what problems our customers have."
DR recently awarded a check for $300 to Hank Will, the Editor in Chief of Grit magazine for an idea he submitted to DR: a manual hay baler. The hay baler is now on the Pickill site and available for comments and voting. Visit the Pickill site to learn more about the manual hay baler and other DR product ideas.

National Morgan Horse Museum
- 122 Bostwick Road, Shelburne, VT, 05482
- 802-985-8665
- http://www.morganmuseum.org/
The sturdy, studly Morgan horse is unique to Vermont. That's because Justin Morgan — originally of Springfield, Massachusetts — was living in Randolph when he bred the animal to perfection back in the 1700s. Strong and versatile, the animals worked on farms, pulled stagecoaches, competed in early harness racing and carried the First Vermont Cavalry to the Civil War. The National Museum of the Morgan Horse recounts this uniquely American equine story.

I now have a trusted system that is easy to use and allows me the freedom to carry one thing.
My iPhone (a 5, but I was with the same thin with a 4) has a great Mac-based software called "Things" which has an iPhone, iPad, and Mac client. Things syncs in the iCloud system and makes sure all of these items are consistent on every platform.
Unfortunately, there are type when I cannot pull my iPhone out and enter a quick task into the program (when I face-to-face with a client for instance). Go I have used some 3M removable adhesive strips on the back of the phone, and "taped" a Flipnote notepadon the back - http://wellspringgift.shptron.com/c/flip-notes - when the Flipnote is aligned with bottom of the phone, it does not get in the way of the camera, etc. (although I'm sure steve jobs would not approve).
When I get back to me home office I drop any paper notes I've made into my physical in box and add them to Things
My problem is that this would be foolproof if I could remember what I had already entered and what I had not. So I could fill up a pad that has the same reminder that I already entered yesterday or that I entered earlier that day on the note pad.
I seems to me that if I could come up with a consistent way of alphabetized the tasks, I could use small cards instead of the notepad entries - so i could as least try to catch duplicates.
I know one of the benefits of GTD is to get things out of your head, but instead that has translated to having all these item in my head to juggle to making sure I have all these items into GTD.
Surely I can't be the only one who has encountered this problem.

Speaking of the drug cartel's, did anyone see the article today about the drug smugglers? The smugglers have taken to the ocean to get around all the patrols on the border states. Their boat off the coast of CA rammed a Coast Guard vessel pursuing them and that action ended up killing one (CG member) and injuring others.
I think our Government and the media should be throwing a fit over this. I see no difference in this action by the drug smugglers/cartels/terrorist who killed the ambassador on 9-11, and mean to do us and our country harm. Mexico is basically ran by the cartels and the violence has been out of control for the last few years.
Have any of you been down to the border states and close to the actual borders? It's a little crazy, kind of looks like a militarized zone in some ways. "Inspection stations" on the state highways and Interstates. These stations have every possible way to check you and your vehicle for drugs and contraband. I have never seen so many micro, x-ray, audio and every other ray known being aimed at your vehicle. Then when you are stopped the Border patrol have the dogs go around every car, while they ask if you are a citizen or to see your DL and sometimes want to know your destination. All this is not at the actual border between the US and MEX this is on I-10 in NM, TX, and CA. This is somewhat disconcerting to me as a citizen. I totally support the Border patrol and understand the difficulties they encounter. Do the northern states have these big "inspection stations" also? Not just at the borders but in the actual states themselves. Just courious.
You're right. It's scary! It's beginning to look like the border patrol stations going in and out of West & East Berlin before the Wall fell.

text: Tired of having to pull your laptop out of your bag enclosed in one of those vinyl/neoprene skins that'll make even the chicest traveler look like an IT nerd — and not willing to pay for a custom-made leather cover from Hermès? Fret no more: young Argentinean designer Julieta Racket has heard your prayers and created a small line of colorful hand-made fabric laptop covers called Nido (that's "nest" for all you non-Spanish speakers). And at circa $50 a pop, you'd be hard-pressed to make them yourself (prices vary depending on the fabric). The only hitch: for now they're only available in two boutiques in Buenos Aires' upscale shopping district Palermo: DAM and Coucou. For those whose near-future travel itinerary doesn't include a trip to Argentina's capital, try emailing Julieta directly through her website, where you can make custom orders on size and fabric.

This topic center concerns mental and emotional problems people experience in the wake of 'trauma', where trauma is understood to refer to an event involving being a victim of or witness to atrocity, violence, true horror and/or the death of another or near death of ones self. Examples might include rape, murder, torture, accidents, terrorism, etc. DSM describes two trauma disorders: acute stress disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder, both of which you may read about in the links to the left of this document. In a nutshell, acute stress disorder occurs in the time frame between just after exposure to a traumatic event to six months later, and posttraumatic stress beginning at the six month point and extending thereafter.
All forms of post-trauma response are typically characterized by the presence of three classes of symptoms. First, the post-trauma victim typically experiences intrusive memories of the traumatic event. Intrusive recollections may occur during waking hours or sleep (in the form of repetitive vivid recreation nightmares involving the trauma). Second, the post-trauma victim makes efforts to avoid exposure to anything that might cause them to recall the trauma they experienced. Third, the post-trauma victim typically shows an exaggerated startle response and heightened anxiety levels. As a result of these sorts of symptoms, experienced on a consistent basis day in and day out, PTSD (as posttraumatic stress is called) can be a very debilitating c...

TheBrickster, how did you discover the secret location of the Imperial Regalia of Japan which is also known as the "Three Sacred Treasures of Japan"? Is this a dream? We are actually inside the Tokyo Imperial Palace where one of these sacred treasures resides. TheBrickster, I have to give you thumbs up for this feat of yours. You sure have wide connections even in the oriental hemisphere.
Let me explain. These jewels are actually one single item that forms the rare necklace known as the "Yasakani no magatama". This necklace stands for benevolence, and is one of the three treasures used in the ceremony of imperial ascension. I remembered something interesting about this section. It was rumored that this section of the building is filled with many dangerous bobby traps and guards to deter thieves and ninja from stealing it and the talented builder never leave its name in the books of history, except leaving this weird initials "T.B". I wonder what it supposed to represents.
TheBrickster, I am getting the shivering feeling of that black wall over there. It feels like as if there is someone standing at that wall hiding in the shadows. Shall we move on and get out of here?

Czech police nab a man suspected of raping 12-year-old girls after offering them car rides via an Internet Web site. In Ohio, a 400-pound man, likewise, uses a Web site to impersonate a 15-year-old boy in order to convince a 12-year-old girl to send photographs and videotapes of herself naked. A sting operation in the U.K. shuts down a pedophile chat room Web site, and the site's leader is caught with over 75,000 pornographic images.
Social networking over the Web has helped connect millions of Internet users, but all of this online interaction can also have a serious downside: a proliferation of pedophiles who use code words to trade in child pornography or prowl chat rooms and befriend underage victims, peppering their messages with words like "kewl" and other youthful colloquialisms.
In a move that pits technology against criminals (and, some fear, privacy), a group of researchers at Lancaster University in England and law-enforcement officials at the United Kingdom's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center (CEOP) is developing software that tracks the Web's evolving child pornography lexicon as well as predators' chat strategies to help law-enforcement agencies catch the most secretive of these criminals before they strike.
"There's a list of about 50 key words that are very indicative of child pornography," says Doug Skinner, a forensics expert who works at Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Cyber Crimes Center in Fairfax, Va.,* and sometimes coordinates with CEOP as part of the Global Virtual Task Force. But, he says, "The terms do change."
That's why Awais Rashid, a Lancaster University computer science professor, has launched the three-year Isis Project, which uses linguistic analysis to keep tabs on these Internet-savvy pedophiles. "There's so much activity it's virtually impossible to police," he says. Currently, investigators at ICE (U.S. Department of Homeland Security) and CEOP are left waiting for a potential victim to report suspicious activity, but by then, it is often too late.
Rashid's strategy is to create automated monitoring tools that operators of chat rooms, social networks, and file-sharing networks would install on their sites. This will provide law-enforcement officials with an automatically updating dictionary of these code words, along with an alert system which will inform them when users are detected masquerading as children.
In preparation to write the software module for file-sharing networks (a prototype by the end of the year), the team sifted through an entire month of search traffic on the number one peer-to-peer file-sharing network, Gnutella, between February 27th and March 27th 2005. Because each peer participates in routing network messages to and from other peers, Rashid's team could set up a specialized client to intercept and log these queries throughout large segments of the network. Then, two specialists at CEOP analyzed 10,000 keyword searches from three separate days to determine whether they contained references to child pornography. About one in every 100 searches was for such material, and about 1.6 percent of search results received contained such material. Because of the size of the Gnutella network, which had a population of 1.81 million users that year, thousands of child-pornography related searches are being conducted every minute. For comparison, ICE arrests about 2,500 child predators in the U.S. per year.
