From the CT Editorial Team
Mobility is the new norm. Faculty and students expect to connect without wires. They depend on it. The explosion of smartphones and tablets has seen to that. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, there are now about 800 million Wi-Fi-enabled devices produced every year. Students are early adopters of technology. So those devices are finding their way into dorms and some classrooms. To support faculty and to prepare students for an increasingly mobile world, educational organizations must fully integrate wireless into their connectivity strategy.
The Gartner Group recently commented "Without proper planning deploying iPads will require 300% more Wi-Fi." That statement reflects the dramatic impact the iPad has had on networks. It is not just iPads though – over 1 million wireless-only mobile devices (tablets, smart phones, etc.) are being activated every day. The majority of Wi-Fi networks are just not designed to support these loads. View Now (WebEx streaming webinar)

A decent puzzle, but the difficulty rating should be maybe 3 or 4. It's made very nicely; the outer box displays well and the pieces are nicely done. You'd be better off handing it to someone with all the pieces outside the box; too much info given away from the assembly, eliminating some potential red herrings. Took less than 5 minutes to solve, and I tried it twice. Good for newbies to packing puzzles, perhaps, since it wouldn't be terribly frustrating. Six pieces.

While it's hard to imagine President Bush, Vice President Cheney or Republican presidential candidate John McCain spending much time on (or even having) a personal e-mail account, the newer generation of politicians are as plugged in as the rest of us. In fact, just how much they use e-mail for official business is fast becoming an issue in this election as the campaigns head into the homestretch.
To wit: hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and plastered personal photos, several messages, and Palin's e-mail contact list on a site called Wikileaks.org, the site reports. This is the same site that a federal judge in San Francisco in February wanted to disable to prevent it from continuing to publish confidential information.
Although the hacker (or hackers) have not revealed his/her/their identities (the data was sent anonymously to Wikileaks.org), it's pretty clear the intent was to punish Palin for, as the New York Times reported this weekend, using her Yahoo! e-mail account to conduct state business in Alaska.
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis in a statement called the hack a "shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy," but there's nothing shocking about it at all. Palin's Yahoo! e-mail account is protected by a Yahoo! ID (which is the same as her e-mail address) and a password. If someone were to figure out that combination, they would have full access to all of her Yahoo! e-mails. As writer Herbert Thompson demonstrated last month in a Sciam.com article, "How I Stole Someone's Identity," someone committed to hijacking a person's e-mail account can do so without breaking much of a sweat.
Alaska's state government has an e-mail system for its employees, and there's a reason those employees should use it while on the job. This e-mail is better protected than standard Yahoo! or Google e-mail accounts (visitors to Gov. Palin's official Web site can send her e-mail through a template on the site—they are not given her actual e-mail address). Unless you work for the government, most people probably couldn't even get to the log-on screen to access state employee e-mail accounts. In contrast, anyone can log onto Yahoo! from that company's main site.
Of course, it would be very difficult to keep a skilled hacker from accessing most information (a group of hackers calling themselves the "Greek Security Team" penetrated computer systems inside CERN's Geneva, Switzerland, facility, where the world's biggest particle accelerator is housed). In fact, while I was doing the basic research for this blog post, Wikileaks itself was hacked. When clicking on the link to the latest on the Palin story, I was taken to a page that read: " I NOW HACK THIS WEBSITE! AREN'T YOUR PROUD OF ME, WIKILEAKS. I CAN PLAY YOUR GAME TOO!!!" Is nothing sacred?

PERSONAL vs BUSINESS email privacy....? There's virtually zero difference.
The very announcement that the FBI and Secret Service are "investigating" the Palin personal email account tells you that nothing will be made public. Those agencies almost assuredly already have determined the hack's identity with dozens of extant Carnivore/Packeteer/ Coolminer/ Echelon/Omnivore/Magistrand/Silkworth/Pathfinder style programs. There's no doubt they located said hack in a great deal less time than it took for the composition of this email.
To Wit: The FBI a very few years ago located (in seconds) a known, highly skilled data recovery specialist in my area (both in Software anf Hardware recovery matters) who had broken his own rules and done some routine finalization work while connected to the internet via a very small local LAN. Big mistake, (as it turned out) he'd recovered data off a laptop hard drive belonging to a Haliburton employee containing records of deep desert Irag wartime encampment, action, location photos, as well as documentation of ongoing contract assignments for a variety of in country activities instigated by Haliburton Co.. Within seconds of the internet connection the FBI was doing a virtual walk through of the LAN this foreign borne (though then naturalized American citizen) was connected to. A number of CMOS and BIOS chips were altered on the LAN and his station had tunneling code laid down on the hard drive the compactness, brevity, and perfection of its assembly might "bring tears" (I was told) to just about any top level code engineer that had the privilege of reading it. He was contacted by the FBI shortly thereafter and within a few days of their "interview" the data recovery specialist "apparently" left town.
I believe the above to be true because of my close connection to one of the parties involved.
SO.... it might be wise to asssume any and all traffic you send and receive via the interenet is quite transparent to our national "protectors" , if they wish it to be so. Just a few words for thought in this cautionary tale.... there really is no privacy left in our current technolgical environment and I wish you the very best of luck, if you think otherwise.

On Slashdot, a user by the name of Stanislav_J had the following insight:
"When someone does this sort of hacking/eavesdropping/snooping to a government official, it's called "a shocking invasion of...privacy and a violation of law."
When the government does it to you, it's called the "Patriot Act.""
I guess Hillery's and Obama's money to the hackers didn't pay off.. I got a memo from Obama to Hillery, asking where to send the hackers money to hack into Palin's email..... Too bad they wasted 2million for some worthless data. Hell it ain't their money anyway it all the fools that put money into their worthless campaigns. Maybe they should be prosecuted?

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisBarracuda refused to turn over 1100 emails in a F.O.I.A. Stating they are of a personal nature, when they are not. That's a federal crime. It's a pre-meditated crime,which to commit the crime of illegally shielding government documents is why she was using the account in the first place. Moreover the Attorney Generals Office of the great state of Alaska just issued an opinion that if government documents are in a private e-mail account,the State has the right to review them, that they must be saved for three years, and that to destroy (delete) them is a crime.In my opinion, Palin or someone in her employment (McCorkell? Having a P.I. Background & couldn't resist giving herself 2 min. of fame)done this as an excuse to delete and/or discredit the account.I believe the trail will lead back to them if it's followed in a prudent manner.

PALM COAST, Fla. -- A Palm Coast community comes together to honor the plane crash victims that died in their neighborhood.
"This afternoon I heard a plane going by and normally you don't think twice about it, but today I was like 'oh, I hope it makes it," said Heather Toriello, who lives in the Seminole Woods neighborhood.
The community came together to honor the three that lost their lives when a single-engine plane headed to Flagler County Airport crashed into a Palm Coast home. "I thought, you know, I think I'd really like to be there to be with the rest of the community and pray for these poor souls that lost their lives in the crash. I thank God for the lady who lives there, she's okay, that's really great," says Tovah Janovsky, a resident in the neighborhood.
A candlelight vigil organized by Tyler Sutphin, 13, was held outside the crash site at 22 Utica Path. Sutphin says he was on his way back home from school when he saw the aircraft fall out of the sky. "I was actually riding my bus, me and my friend spotted it through the window and we saw that it was shaking and then right when we got off the bus stop we saw smoke coming from the house," said Sutphin. Several kids in the area were either at school or on the way home when they witnessed the crash. "I saw like something weird in the air so turned out and I looked and saw the airplane and there was smoke," says 9-year-old Dylan Toriello.
With the airport being only about a mile from this community some say they feared something like this could happen. "Well here it is, it happened, hopefully they'll do something because you do you hear the planes puttering a lot overhead and sometimes it's just scary," said Dawn Salange, a resident in the neighborhood.
For others, the vigil was a chance to remember the victims with song and prayer and send a greater message out to this community. "You know you can't live in fear, I just feel like when it's meant for me to go, I'll go, and I'm not going to worry about it in the in-between time," says Janovsky. The National Transportation and Safety Board says it will have a preliminary report on the investigation up on its website in about ten days. The engine from the plane was recovered from the home and is being transported to Continental Motors in Alabama to be evaluated along with other plane parts.

Wil and Ariel Durant wrote a 14 volume "History of the World". They summarized their findings in a 100 page book entitled, "Lessons of History".
One of the lessons of history is that societies and countries evolve from success to failure and then to success or continuous success or failure. The USA is clearing past it's peak of success and headed downward toward failure. Henry Kissenger once reported a conversation he once had with a high level Chinese diplomat who said, " Democracy in the USA is a fad. Once a majority of the people in the US learn that they can vote to receive services and money from the government, the US is finished. Look around you. Easy to see. 51% of the people in the US receive a check each month from the government. The debt of the US is 16.4 trillion dollars. More and more people will vote to receive money from the government,which will eventually cause the decline of the US just as predicted by the Durants in their scholarly work.
Lesson 1: invest in well run countries that are just beginning their growth: emerging and frontier markets. All of Europe of is just ahead of us in their decline; the Asian countries and Latin American countries are just beginning. Selective investments, yes. In sustainable growth, yes.
Lesson 2: Get an excellent education that is fueled primarily by individual study of difficult topics that put you in a high level competitive position for professional success.
Lesson 3: Save your pennies, nickels and dimes. The flood of Noah is just a sprinke of rain compared to what is coming.

Thanks for those links Schumpeter. If I go into listing all exchange traded options globally, it will be labor intensive.
If I have the time down the road, I would do it. It makes sense. This is about global perspective. Right now, I can't tackle that task time-wise.
I'm not happy to say that, but I'm just one person, and I haven't figured out how to "do it all" yet. -
There is a new kid in town: AZIA
"Global X's launch of the first ever ETF covering Central Asia republics and Mongolia AZIA. The fund's portfolio will be spread between Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan"
Hope it will stay something longer than FISN and BARN. -
Next to (AZIA) there is another open end fund on Central Asia: Bering Central Asia, by East Capital.
Holdings aren't very exotic/ out of reach for average retail investor. It is fairly easy to replicate with access to London Stock Exchange:

Hey guys, my friend is looking for a budget gaming rig and is willing to spend max £620. She doesn't need a monitor, mouse, Windows or speakers. This is what I've thought of so far: Corsair Carbide 300R Intel Core i5 3570K MSI Z77A-G41 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 1GB MSI GTX 650 Ti 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 Corsair CX600 Keyboard DVD Drive £629 or Corsair Carbide 300R AMD FX 8350 Black Edition Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 1GB XFX Radeon HD7850 Core Edition. 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 Corsair CX600 Keyboard DVD Drive £598 From what I've read on the net everyone seems to think the Core i5 is a little better in performance but for the price difference with the AMD I could throw in the HD7850 which is much better than the GTX650 Ti. Any thoughts on this?
The GTX660 is way over budget. I'm now looking at the Core i5-3470/XFX HD7850 or the FX8350/XFX HD7850.
If she not going to overclock the second one if fine. If you cant afford it then o well. They are fairy close until you overclock the Intel then its bye bye. Bump it to 8 Gb ram though
Copied over from GN just in case: Edit: I am starting to doubt about the Samsung modules being cheaper.
on either of those builds couldn't you trim a few costs and get the 7950 and oc? would benefit the gaming. my budget build plays all games maxed out smoothly. and what res is the monitor? this can be altered a lot: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Compact ATX Case £49.99 Corsair 600W Builder Series CX Series CX 80+ Bronze ATX Power Supply £50.38 XFX AMD Radeon 7950 HD 800MHz 3GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI £215.98 Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB 7200RPM Hard Drive £52.99 Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 XMS3 Performance Desktop Memory Kit £43.99 AMD FX8-8320 Black Edition Vishera 8 Core AM3+ 3.5GHz 16MB 125W £131.98 Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 DDR3 ATX £70.68 total £618
That build comes up as £627 for me and doesn't include a keyboard or DVD drive, I went for a 550W XFX but it's still too much so I brought it down to a 7870 and it's £620 including shipping which is right on target. The monitor is 1080p.
I have an I5-3570...you can see my spec over there <---- I see zero difference in gaming using the 6950 I have with an AMD quad core at 3.7ghz versus the I5 3570...zip zero zilch none at all...It does give me higher synthetic scores tho and I think most people confuse that with real world performance...I'm sure I'll get flamed for that but that's ok Basically for gaming the GPU matters way more than the cpu....wayyyyyyyyyyy more...if you can get a cheaper cpu and a faster GPU I would...PCs are wayyuyy beyond games specially when 99.6% of all games available are ports from game systems that are about as powerful as a $250 laptop.
I got the prices from dabs.com and forgot about the keyboard/dvd drive lol! you could find a cheaper mobo/cpu. i don't know what others think but i would try get the 7950 if you browse enough deals. i was going to buy the 7870 after my 7770, but was told to skip straight to the 7950, that's why im suggesting it. would you agree that less cpu and more graphics power?
im running an fx4100 oc 4.4 and plays all games high to ultra (i know at 1440*900) but even when i had 1080p it was still smashing it fairly easy! however, crisis 3 and farcry3 have my cpu maxing out and gpu less so. (hence the oc) and the xfx psu's are good choices for the money.
The only thing I'm concerned about is the Core i5-3470 is the better processor but with that I'd only be getting the 7850, with the FX-8320 I'd be getting the 7870. I'm just wondering does the better Intel compliment the 7850 and does the 7870 make up for the AMD? My friend is on a laptop so I'm sure the 7850 will decimate it even with the laptop running at 720p, I'm not sure if it can even max Battlefield 3.
the 8350 (or the 8320) and the 7870 is the way to go for gaming....and other multi-threaded apps Don't get me wrong the 3470 is a good cpu but thr 8350 does have a few more advantages and with a better gpu its better for gaming.
Now I just need to see if my friend will push for the Carbide 300R for the better cooling. The 200R on Scan only comes with the plain side panel, not with the 2 optional fan mounts
Go with the AMD FX-8350 and get the upgraded GPU. The Intel Core i5 3570K is only marginally better at single threated applications and most of the games you will be playing with not show any difference between the two. Save your money, get the better GPU. And the 200R does come with option slots for fans on the side. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018 And I recommend getting 8 GB of RAM for a smoother gaming experience. Some of the more intensive games like BF3 will eat a lot of memory on larger maps.
I've been reading around a little on the motherboard and I can't seem to find anything about the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 supporting the FX8320, the 970 chipset doesn't sound very good for the FX8320 either. The 7850 can be easily overclocked to the speeds of the 7870 would not be better to get the 7850 and a 990X board? EDIT: Nevermind, I was looking at the GA-970A-DS3, not the UD3. The extra cost brings it back down to the 7850 though lol.
If you go to Gigabyte's web site product page. Downloads and support there is a CPU support page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4122#
Ah, Dabs is cheaper than Scan. Saves about £20, thanks for that d1nky! My friend is looking to lower the budget a little so the 7870 is out of the question now but the money saved can be put towards the UD3, Carbide 300R and a better 7850. Then once it's built it's just a matter of adding some decent fans and a Hyper 212 Evo. If only this build was for me
another site that may help : http://uk.hardware.info/ it compares current prices and stock. i still stand by the 7950 and a weaker cpu (even 6 core with oc) and i can play all games except crisis 3 and farcry 3 at ultra on the 4100, these two usually v high. and good fps. and if you will oc her gpu, make sure the board has good phasing https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=2
4GB has become the minimum to run a modern operating system and game on. Increasingly today's games are using just under or just over 4GB of physical memory. 8GB should be the absolute minimum for a new build. To answer your question, the second build (£598) is better for gaming because the ATI 7850 is a fair bit faster than the GTX 650Ti, enough so to warrant the AMD build over the Intel build. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_650_Ti_Amp_Edition/28.html

Was the server still up at 9 though? I don't think the server list shows up all the available games. The same thing happened one night with Morgo's Monday Mash, the server didn't show up on the list but luckily someone on my friend's list was in it and I could join. I did try different filters, refreshing and going in and out of "find games" but still no luck
on 12-07-2012 06:34 PM
I was on from 9 aswell looking out for the server but it just wasnt there enjoyed it last week and was hoping for more.Maybe push it to 9 next week and see how he turn out is then?
