Friday! Yay!
No, no one can take that away from you.
Weekend is here, and with it a lot of driving kids around to various things. But luckily, as the school year comes to a close, so too does a lot of the carting around of people. I'm going to start charging at this point.
Sadly, with the rain coming, I don't think I'll get to mow, but maybe the extra growth will cure some of the male pattern baldness in my yard. I mean, I'm never going to have the 'perfect' lawn, but I like it to look at least a little lush. Gives the wood ticks a nice background from which to tackle us from.

Armed Man Holds Air Crew Hostage
An armed man, described as "mentally challenged," took six crew members hostage after he barged onto a passenger jet at a Jamaican airport Monday and demanded to be flown to Cuba. [caption id="attachment_278" align="alignright" width="219" caption="Hostage-taker commandeered a CanJet flight in Montego Bay, Jamaica"][/caption]A hostage-taker commandeered a CanJet flight at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The gunman, believed to be in his early 20s, released all passengers and two members of the crew from the CanJet plane but negotiations continued Monday morning at Sangster International Airport in the resort city of Montego Bay to secure the remaining crew members' release."The hijacking is that from a mentally challenged youngster and not anything that would be of concern in terms of an international incident," said Jamaica's Information Minister Daryl Vaz.
"His demand was to go to Cuba," he said. CanJet Airlines flight 918 was carrying 174 passengers and eight crew members, said Kent Woodside, the airline's vice president. All the passengers are Canadian, he said. The Boeing 737 flew in from Halifax, Canada, and had made a scheduled landing at Montego Bay, when the armed man boarded the plane late Sunday, the airline said. It was scheduled to continue on to Santa Clara, Cuba. The gunman fired a shot in the boarding bridge to the plane as he entered, Woodside said. He then took an undisclosed number of passengers and crew members hostage, said Elizabeth Scotton, a spokeswoman for the company that manages the airport.
***This episode, certainly unsettling to the passengers, serves as a reminder of a key advantage of flying privately. Namely, the inherent security of knowing that everyone on board the aircraft has been checked against the TSA's No-Fly list and that you will personally know each person with whom you are flying. Additionally, when it comes to safely evacuating an area due to any political or social unrest or idustrial/natural disaster use of a Gulfstream or Hawker jet can become a case of life or death. With emergency evacuation procedures in place, your employees or loved ones can be free from danger with as little as 4 hours notice.

QUESTION: When should I open a help desk ticket?
ANSWER: Faculty should enter a help desk ticket for any D2L support issues, including: technical issues, error messages, broken links, login problems, and questions and/or concerns. In the event a help desk support member cannot assist in your D2L question or issue, they will escalate the issue to the OIT technical support team so we can assist. Please be sure to use the help desk for requesting this kind of support rather than sending a direct email in the event that the individual you are contacting is not in the office. A help desk ticket will go to all OIT D2L support staff members. The NLU help desk is available 24x7, at 1-866-813-1177.

QUESTION: Why did get an error message when responding to a student email in D2L? (Error "Recipient can't receive/you are not authorized to send email externally").
ANSWER: The reason D2L issues this error message is that you are attempting to email an external (nl.edu) email address rather than a D2L email address. D2L mail does not allow users to send messages to external email addresses. To email students in D2L you should use the student's internal D2L email address. An easy way to ensure you are emailing students D2L email is to use the "Classlist" tool in D2L, check off the recipient's names and the system will automatically select the internal D2L addresses.
QUESTION: What is the difference between a D2L Discussion Forum and a Discussion Topic?
ANSWER: A Discussion forum can be thought of as a category, or a grouping of discussion topics. A good example of a forum would be "Module 1 Discussions" in this forum all the discussion prompts for Module 1 would be created. The Discussion Topic is the area where you create a discussion prompt; it is also where students create postings. A good example of a discussion topic would be "Class Introductions". The "Class Introduction" topic might be organized as one topic within the "Week 1 Discussion Forum".
QUESTION: How can I share my course (or portion of a course such as a rubric) with another instructor?
ANSWER: You can share can share a D2L course or individual course components such as Rubrics, Quizzes, and Content with others by creating an export file. In your D2L course go to the "Course Administration" area to create the export. For a quick guide to creating a course export in D2L visit the OIT YouTube Channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/oittutorials
QUESTION: What Internet browser should I use with D2L?
ANSWER: D2L recommends the following browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari version 5.1, and I.E. version 9. The OIT department has noted some video content in D2L courses may not load when viewing with Chrome. OIT has also noted in Internet Explorer version 7 and 10, there are buttons such as the "Submit" button which are not functional.
QUESTION: How do I submit final grades if I'm teaching in D2L?
ANSWER: Faculty must enter final term grades into Banner for students. If you wish to also post final grades in D2L you can but all faculty are to post final grades for students in Banner by the end of term deadline (typically one week after the last meeting date please check the academic calendar for specific final grade due dates).
Question: But I have still more questions!
ANSWER: Email your question to firstname.lastname@example.com. If it's a popular question, you'll find it, along with an answer, in this FAQ!
Faculty Request for D2L or Instructional Design Consultation:
As part of our continued efforts to provide D2L and Instructional Design support, we have recently released a questionnaire that can be filled out for one-on-one support. Please note that these one-on-one sessions are meant to be used along with our D2L Training sessions, not in lieu of, meaning that you should have already attended a training session before you receive on-on-one support. This helps us provide you with the best support possible.
In these sessions you can receive help with any D2L tool or function including Gradebook, Discussions, uploading files, etc. We can also help with course clean-up, best practices training and course design.
Sessions are one hour in length and if we do schedule a session with you, we will work with you to find the best time, date, and location. Please keep in mind that much of this information is available through our scheduled training sessions or in our D2L Post-Training Café. For information on either of these, please contact OIT Learning at firstname.lastname@example.com or request one-on-one support here.

User Review for InSTEP Police Pedal Car
This little car is adorable and very well made. We purchased it for my 2 yr old grandson and he loves it. We then purchased two more for my twin nephews for their fifth birthday. It is a good sized car, heirloom quality, and fun, fun, fun.
User Review for Step2 WaterWheel Activity Play Table
My 2 yr old loves this table. It is fun, sturdy, and has been hours of fun. My only complaint would be that there is not a drain in the table. Therefore, you have to dump. A drain would be easier, but it is not a deal breaker on this table. Great buy!
User Review for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magic Set
This set is beautifully made...so much better than the plastic sets I remember as a kid. All the props are made of wood and fabric and are imaginatively decorated. The magician's change bag and nest of boxes is of professional quality. It has small parts so of course it's not for very young children. Kids old enough to appreciate this should love it. Even adult magicians may find one or two items in here they can use.

Musical instruments encourage expression within a child and provide a skill which the child will cherish for life. Children picking up musical instruments at a young age are more likely to stick with the instrument into their adulthood, even if that means starting out with a musical toy. Children's musical instruments are becoming more and more like adults'.
One of the great things about music is that it is a universal language. Children from around the world all understand the language of music. Playing musical instruments at a young age will help the child in future learning endeavors. The ability to read and recognize notes will help a child in reading. Whether its musical toys or pianos, musical instruments are a fun way of passing the time.
Music is important for a growing child. Studies have shown that learning music can actually make a child smarter. When your child learns a musical instrument not only do they learn how to make tunes but it also enhances other capabilities of their brain, as well. Learning a musical instrument involves interrupting musical notes and symbols that the brain sees to form melodies. Music-making helps enhance the brain's "hard-wiring" for the ability to transform objects in space and time.
BabyAge offers all different kinds of musical instruments that your child can learn. For the little rocker in your life, get them the Today's Tot Musical Discovery 3 Piece Jr. Drum Set. This set has everything your little one will need to become the world's next best drummer. The Drum Set includes 3 drums, a cymbal, stool and drumsticks.
Or try the Melissa & Doug Grand Piano. This piano will teach your child a wide range of notes and the helpful color-coded key chart will help them learn a musical scale. From Chopin to Chopsticks, your child's confidence will grow with this instrument.
We have a wide variety of musical instruments and toys for you to choose from. Now, sit back and get ready for the show to begin.

Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
If you had to guess what sort of animal Justin Bieber got tattooed on his arm, what would you guess? A Canadian moose? A brave grizzly bear? A porcupine? (What—they're the Bieb's favorite animal.)
Well, had you guessed any of those, you would sadly be wrong. The animal Justin chose to adorn his forearm in a recent tattoo was in fact an owl! Bieber posted an image of the new ink to his Instagram account Sunday with the caption, "Befo the paps get me."

Evernote, like Twitter, in no rush to go public
Evernote announced yesterday that it raised $70 million in funding that it didn't need, in order to get ready for a public offering that, CEO Phil Libin hopes, is still several years away.
Libin said that the $70 million, raised from Meritech Capital, CBC Capital, and other investors, will add to the company's war chest, which previously held $96 million from rounds that the company has also barely touched.
"This more about building an infrastructure for the 100-year company," Libin said. "We're going to buy more servers and switches and capacity than we need. … Read more


text: Home Politics Mayor: New ID Law Not America We Fought For Philadelphia's Michael Nutter told The Root the latest about Pennsylvania's voting measure. By: Mary C. Curtis Posted: Aug. 7 2012 12:02 AM 0 Jeff Fusco/Getty Images (The Root) -- Though he was making an early campaign swing through Charlotte, N.C., a city he'll revisit for the Democratic convention in September, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's mind was also on the battle over a voter-ID law going on in his Pennsylvania home. "We are very concerned about disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters," he told The Root. "Many of us can't figure out what this is really about, since we have no documentation of any in-person voter fraud having taken place in Pennsylvania in anyone's memory," Nutter said. "We filed an amicus brief, and there are other people fighting on those issues. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to be in court." Last Thursday, the day of closing arguments in the case challenging the law, Nutter said that his job, as long as the law is on the books, is to make sure that people have the needed ID "so that they won't have a problem and that they are not discouraged when it's time to actually get out and vote." In Philadelphia, he said, that includes printing up materials to put in city government buildings, recreation centers and libraries. Veteran civil rights lawyer Penda Hair is a co-director and co-founder, in 1999, of the Advancement Project, which strives to increase "democratic participation in low-income and minority communities by removing obstacles to voter participation" as part of its stated goal. The project is part of the legal team -- along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia and Arnold & Porter LLP -- fighting the Pennsylvania law (signed by GOP Gov. Tom Corbett in March) on behalf of individual voters who may not have the necessary specific forms of identification. A ruling is expected by Aug. 13. "I think it's risky to make any prediction when you're dealing with a case in court," Hair told The Root, but "the plaintiffs put on an incredibly strong case. I can't imagine a stronger case against photo ID than this one." That case included analysis from Matt Barreto, a University of Washington political scientist who placed the number of eligible Pennsylvania voters without necessary ID at 1.3 million, far above the state's estimate; an admission that the state has no process in place that could provide photo IDs to close the number of voters who need them; and Pennsylvania Secretary of State Carol Aichele's answer to a question on the details of the law. "I don't know what the law says," Aichele said on the stand. Entered into evidence was a statement made by Pennsylvania's House majority leader, Republican Mike Turzai, in a speech to the GOP state committee. When ticking off a list of Republican accomplishments, Turzai said, "Voter ID, which is going to allow Gov. Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done." Despite later backtracking from his camp, the comment was interpreted to be revealing of the law's true intent. It's "what we had suspected and had been saying," Hair said, "stripping away all of the pretense of any kind of motive other than a partisan motive." Most moving, Hair said, was the personal testimony of those affected by the law, including lead plaintiff Viviette Applewhite, 93, who described obstacles to her obtaining acceptable ID, and Laila Stones, born in 1959 in Virginia with a midwife assisting. When Stones attempted to get her birth certificate, the state told her that it had no record of her existence. Recalling Stones' words, Hair said Stones testified that "if she were not allowed to vote, it would make her feel as though she's not whole." Republican supporters of the law remain convinced that it is needed to prevent fraud, although the state conceded before the court hearing that it knew of no cases of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania. In an opinion piece in Sunday's Philadelphia Inquirer, Linda A. Kerns, co-chair of the southeastern-Pennsylvania chapter of the Republican National Lawyers Association, wrote: "If requiring photo ID discriminates, then shouldn't we abolish it and drive, buy guns, get on airplanes, and open bank accounts on the honor system? ... Opponents claim that voter fraud does not exist, so the law is unnecessary. However, the legislature does not need to prove fraud in order to pass a law regulating elections. And proving voter impersonation can be tricky without requiring the very ID that opponents are trying to prevent." Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

LivePerson and WalkMe Team Up for a Winning Solution
LivePerson has a growing ecosystem of partners and developers that aim to deliver innovative next-generation applications to our customers. The LivePerson team is always on the hunt for outstanding applications that can enrich and enhance the value of LivePerson intelligent engagement solutions.
We're very excited to announce the latest addition to our partner ecosystem-- WalkMe. WalkMe is the world's first website guidance system and it allows you to overlay interactive on-screen instructions – known as Walk-Thrus – onto your website or app. These Walk-Thrus assist end-users to quickly and easily complete even the most complex tasks. WalkMe's proven business impact lies in increasing conversions and reducing customer support costs by enabling comprehensive self-service.
There are some especially exciting use-cases with the deployment of the LivePerson and WalkMe integration--
Your support representative is chatting with a user. The user asks a how-to question. Instead of spending valuable time providing the answer, the support rep initiates a real-time Walk-Thru for the user, and can focus on helping additional customers. Meanwhile, the user completes the Walk-Thru, which is visible to your support rep in their admin console. This means that while assisting other customers, the rep can also see what step the user is on, and offer additional assistance as necessary.
In another scenario, a user on your site or app can utilize a Walk-Thru to complete a high-value business process, which can be flagged by the system if it is not progressing as expected. Let's say the user is on phase 7 of 9 steps when the LivePerson system identifies that the customer is moving through the process in a slower amount of time than anticipated – your support rep can initiate engagement proactively and help the user complete the task.
So how does this partnership benefit you? At the end of the day, your team of support reps will be able to handle more customers while delivering an effective and personalized help experience. This in turn translates into higher revenues and happier customers. Try it out and we think you will agree – the LivePerson-WalkMe partnership is a win-win for both business and customer!

ITV secures This Morning sofa product placement from DFS
By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 02 January 2013 10:30AM
ITV has agreed the third product-placement deal for daytime show 'This Morning', with DFS providing sofas for the set for a year from today.
The sofas will not be DFS-branded and the placement will be advertised on air only once, with a message shown on-screen during today's show.
The deal is understood to be worth a low six-figure sum and was brokered by DFS' media agency MediaCom's Beyond Advertising division.
It includes an off-air licensing agreement allowing DFS to use the 'This Morning' logo in-store and online and a dedicated area of ITV.com showcasing the partnership, DFS product ranges and competitions.
'This Morning' secured the first product placement deal in UK commercial television history in February 2011, after media regulator Ofcom liberalised rules. Nestle coffee brand Dolce Gusto paid a sum believed to be £100,000 to have its coffee machine placed in the kitchen, which was arranged by Mindshare.
While the Dolce Gusto deal has lapsed, a second deal was agreed in September 2012 by ZenithOptimedia branded content agency Newcast for B&Q to supply the kitchen for the programme for two years.
ITV's other PP deals include a Nationwide cash machine in 'Coronation Street' and Samsung technology in 'The X Factor'.

That Tool You Use? Twitter Lawsuit Says You're Spamming
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- My name is Jonathan. And I am an accidental Twitter spammer.
My business used to be a simple one. I invested real money and time figuring out how to use emerging digital tools to create the best possible stories at the best possible prices. Web collaboration, online task management, virtual accounting -- that's the sort of wonky digital hunting and gathering my shop bets its future on.
My biz, like most, struggles with scraping profits out of Twitter, Facebook and the rest of social media. So I invested in a bright young social media collaborator, Anthony Mowl, to study and report on what works and doesn't with social media tools for business.
All made sense, until last week. That's when TweetAdder, one of the most interesting social media tools we have written about -- and used -- was named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Twitter against companies it considered to be spammers.
According to the suit, filed in the Northern District of California, TweetAdder is "designed to create the impression" its services are permissible on Twitter, when they are not.
Well, I am one of those impressionable souls. Thanks in part to TweetAdder, our Twitter feed, @blumsday, has more than 2,900 some-odd followers who message, retweet and react to my content -- including stories from TheStreet.
Now obviously, I've turned TweetAdder off. A lawsuit is a lawsuit. But it was no easy call. See, Anthony and I maintain we haven't spammed anybody.
In fact, this past week of trying to match the business and ethical realities of Twitter has pointed out several serious questions about this business that investors should carefully consider:
1. Plan on no due process on Twitter ... or the Web.
Twitter is private property. It defines what users can and can't do in its terms of service : No hate speech, no porn, no automated tools. And once the lawsuit was out, I saw the company's concern immediately: TweetAdder and other defendants in the spam suit have the means to send out, without exaggeration, tens of millions of Tweets flogging Viagra or tickets to the Nigerian national lottery.
And let's be honest, TweetAdder plays cat and mouse with Twitter. You'll see it when you visit the company's blog, where it describes updates made to work around Twitter changes.
But we don't sell Viagra. We use TweetAdder as a powerful social media search tool. Its easy-to-use interface and professional layout allowed us to collect very accurate lists of Twitter users who might be interested in our content. It then streamlined how we follow them, with the hope they follow us back. TweetAdder's approach is a major upgrade over Twitter's disgraceful search functions .

The use of ultrasound to monitor the growth of a baby in the womb is well known but several other different types of ultrasound scan are now possible that can investigate problems with various parts of the body.
Like other ultrasound scans, Doppler ultrasound uses sound waves and their reflection to 'see' inside your body, in the same way that bats and submarines use sound to perceive their environment. These tests are particularly useful as they are non-invasive, which means they do not require any surgery or intrusion of the scanner into the body. Nor do they involve potentially harmful radiation, such as X-rays.
Doppler ultrasound is a very specific branch of ultrasound scanning that enables technicians to see the flow of fluids – particularly blood – within the body. This technique enables your doctor to assess both the rate of blood flow, and which way blood is flowing, even in smaller, deeper veins and arteries.
Ultrasound works by bouncing sound waves off solid objects and using them to build a picture of that object. Most of us are familiar with ultrasound pictures of developing babies in the womb.
However, because Doppler ultrasound sound waves are bouncing off moving objects, their reflection is changed. If the object is moving away from the recorder, the sound wave will decrease in frequency, because the waves are being stretched away by the receding object. If the object is moving towards the recorder, then the sound waves will increase in frequency as they are squashed by the approaching object. The greater the increase or decrease in frequency, the faster the movement.
This is called the Doppler Effect and is most often observed when an ambulance or police car speeds past a stationary observer. The siren of the vehicle appears to drop in tone as it passes. This is because the sound waves are being stretched to a lower frequency as the vehicle moves away.
Doppler ultrasound uses the Doppler Effect to assess the speed and direction of blood flow around the body. This can be used to show where the flow is being blocked or restricted, and can indicate conditions such as narrowing or furring of the arteries, blood clots and deep vein thrombosis.
Being able to analyse blood flow through Doppler ultrasound can help in identifying and preventing a range of medical problems. For example, spotting blood clots early can allow time for treatment that can prevent major medical problems such as strokes and pulmonary embolisms (blood clots on the lungs), as well as heart attacks and other circulatory problems.
Doppler ultrasound can also prove useful during pregnancy to check the blood flow through the placenta, as it can show the flow of both the mother and the baby's blood.
Yes, there are, in fact, four types:
A Doppler ultrasound scan does not hurt; the only discomfort you might experience is the cold gel applied to your skin to aid the transmission of the sound waves. You will be asked to remove any jewellery or clothing that may interfere with the readings, and then lie still and relax on a treatment couch. A small amount of gel will then be applied to your skin at the area to be scanned.
The Doppler ultrasound equipment consists of a small emitter and receiver combined. This is about the size of a bar of soap and is connected by wire to the computer equipment. This emitter /receiver will be gently moved back and forth across your skin as different Doppler ultrasound readings take place.
The scan will normally take between half an hour and an hour and you may be required to change position, such as sitting up then laying back. This allows the ultrasound operator to assess the flow rates in different circumstances. Occasionally, your blood flow may be manipulated by the technician, either manually, by means of massage, or by using a blood pressure cuff to stop and start the flow.
At the end of the test, the results will be sent to your consultant as a series of images and graphs, which they will use to assess your condition and any treatment required. Thanks to Doppler ultrasound, they will now have an accurate idea of what is happening deep inside the blood vessels in your body, without any of the risks of invasive tests.

Listen to Rick Ross on iHeartRadio
Rick Ross is turning the drive-by shooting that targeted him last month into rhymes. According to MTV News, Ross raps about the incident on the remix to Young Scooter's single "Columbia" featuring Ross, Gucci Mane and Birdman.
In the verse Ross hints that he was packing heat at the time of the shooting, something that has not been confirmed by police investigating the incident.
Listen to Young Scooter - "Columbia" (rick Ross, Gucci Mane and Birdman Remix)
Ross and his female passenger were uninjured in the shooting. However, as he was fleeing the shooters, Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into an apartment building.
The Maybach Music Group boss had been tight lipped about the shooting until the 2013 Grammy Awards.
Ross told MTV News that he's trying to move on with his life by staying positive. He also said that police didn't have any suspects.

Washington, DC Tuesday, March 6, 2012
The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies holds a hearing titled "The Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards program (CFATS)."
CFATS is a program that secures the nation's chemical plants against terrorist attacks. The Homeland Security Department began working to establish the program in 2007. Under the program, chemical facilities believed to be at risk for a terrorist attack have to submit a Site Security Plan for approval by Homeland Security.
A leaked memo obtained by the Committee outlines numerous problems in the CFATS program, including leadership turnover, inadequate training and poor hiring decisions. The Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over the program, examines ways to reverse these management failures and make the program a model public-private security partnership.
Rand Beers, Under Secretary for the Homeland Security Department's National Protection and Programs Directorate testifies.
He is joined by Penny Anderson, Director of the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division, and David Wulf, Deputy Director of the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division. Both witnesses are from the Homeland Security Department's Infrastructure Protection Department.
Additional witnesses include Bill Allmond, Vice President of Government and Public Relations for the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates; Timothy Scott, Chief Security Officer and Corporate Director of Emergency Services and Security at Dow Chemical; and David Wright, President of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 918.

Court documents unsealed yesterday provide insight into why federal lawmakers had trouble fingering the person they believe to be the true culprit in the 2001 anthrax mailings and wrongly suspected government scientist Steven Hatfill of the attacks that took five lives and sickened 17 other people. The nearly seven-year investigation culminated with the apparent suicide in August of fellow scientist Bruce Ivins, 62, who once worked with Hatfill at a federal biodefense research lab at Fort Detrick in Maryland and who reportedly took a fatal overdose of pills as FBI agents had planned to arrest him for the crime.
Hatfill, 54, who claimed to be the victim of repeated leaks of investigation details to the media that implicated him as law enforcement's prime suspect in the mailings, in June won a $5.8 million lawsuit in which he charged that the FBI and Justice Department had violated his privacy rights.
The Los Angeles Times reports today that FBI agent Mark Morin alleged–in a July 2002 sworn statement seeking a judge's permission for a warrant to search Hatfill's apartment and other property–that Hatfill "had access to the unlocked storage freezers in which the Ames strain" of anthrax was kept while he worked as a Fort Detrick research scientist between 1997 and 1999. The FBI later found that the unique formulation of anthrax powder used in the mailings was prepared by Ivins (whom the feds wanted to arrest when he allegedly took his life in early August) and that Hatfill did not have access to it, according to the Times.
According to the court papers, government agents were also suspicious of Hatfill because they discovered that he was taking Cipro–an antibiotic used to prevent or treat anthrax infections–prior to the anthrax mailings. Hatfill's lawyers had argued that the scientist had been taking the antibiotic, also used to treat other bacterial conditions, to prevent an infection following nasal surgery he received in September 2001.
The newly released documents also show how federal agents tried to link a severe outbreak of anthrax in 1979 and 1980 in Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia) to Hatfill, because he served in a then-Rhodesian military unit in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Washington Post reported today. Although the details of Hatfill's Rhodesian military service are unclear, he began living in that country following his time as an enlisted soldier in the U.S. Army.
The New York Times reported yesterday that the documents show that Hatfill also told an acquaintance that it would take a "Pearl Harbor-type attack" to convince the United States of the bioterrorist threat, and that he kept a substance resembling simulated anthrax in his apartment, where investigators seized biological equipment, glass laboratory slides, plastic tubing and a gun silencer.
With help from researchers at Sandia National Labs in New Mexico and in other locations, the federal government in 2002 learned that the anthrax spores used in the mailings most likely were not delivered by international terrorists, a revelation that prompted them to turn their attention to U.S. scientists with access to the bacteria.
The feds were closing in on Ivins when he died, reportedly committing suicide August 1 by ingesting massive amounts of prescription Tylenol with codeine. Ivins had worked for 18 years at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick. Investigators were planning to charge Ivins with bioterrorism at the time of his death. Within a week of Ivins's death, the U.S. attorney for Washington exonerated Hatfill from any involvement in the mailings.

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: MXT, BMV: MAXCOM.CPO). Maxcom Telecomunicaciones, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Maxcom" or the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Enrique Ibarra Anaya as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Being the telecommunication sector very closely related with the information technology, in a world where the technology is constantly evolving and is a central element of competitiveness, the integration of Mr. Ibarra will be crucial to strengthen the technological evolution of Maxcom, allowing the Company to expand its business aiming at the highest levels of quality of service delivered to the client.

I've gotten a lot of questions and a lot of feedback on TeleCommand lately. I'm super excited to hear it all from you guys! So, thank you very much!
Anyways, when I was making TeleCommand for the PS Vita, I had the idea that I would be releasing a trio of programs: TeleCommand would handle custom commands and controlling things remotely over the internet… I wanted to eventually make two other programs that would allow the users to control their PC in different ways over local area networks or even Bluetooth. Well, I'm officially announcing TeleGamer and TeleControl. TeleGamer is going to allow the user to use the PS Vita or Android phone as a wireless gamepad that will include custom settings and keymapping. TeleControl would act as a wireless keyboard, mouse, drawpad, and a few special features that are included in TeleCommand. Here's a chart to basically show the differences between each program:
Each would require standalone programs to communicate with your PC, but I'm also announcing that the TeleCommand Receiver will now be called TeleReceiver, which will handle the simultanious communication of all three of the programs. (TeleCommand, TeleGamer & TeleControl) It will handle the settings and properties but will also have automatic updates to ensure the highest quality of security and to make sure that you guys have all the features at your disposal. It will also include the TeleCommand, TeleControl, and TeleGamer installation information, meaning that you can just use one single program to install all three once you obtain a pre-release download key.
TeleGamer and TeleControl are currently in the midst of being programmed, so expect them soon! Thanks for your patience, feedback, requests, and general awesomeness! Of course, if you have any questions, requests, or feedback, you can always e-mail me at email@example.com or send me a tweet on Twitter at @crait .
PS: I think I'm going to integrate TeleReceiver into Scallop for those of you that are keeping up with it.

So far we have only looked at the mapfile when creating maps. In creating web mapping applications, it is usually our intention to make maps that can be changed by the user (of the application) interactively. That is, a user should be able to change the content of (or the information in) the map. To accomplish this interactivity, we use the MapServer HTML templates.
A MapServer HTML template is essentially an HTML file with a few MapServer specific tags. These tags are the MapServer CGI variables and are enclosed in square brackets "[]". When the MapServer CGI program processes an application, it first parses the query string and the mapfile, and produces the necessary output. Some of this output will need to be written to the HTML template file which you would have to also specify in the mapfile using the web template keyword (or in a separate HTML initialization file). The CGI program will replace all the variables in the HTML template with the proper value before sending it back to the web browser. If you are to directly view an HTML template in a web browser, there won't be any maps rendered and you will instead get blank images and other junk.
MapServer provides several variables for web mapping: the "img" variable which you've seen in Example 1.9 is but one example. There area few core CGI variables originally designed as part of the mapping interface but practically all the mapfile parameters can be defined as variables. The definitive reference to the MapServer CGI variables can be found here.
We can also define our own variables, which MapServer will pass along to our application. For example, we can create a variable called "root" to represent the root directory of this tutorial, the value for "root" will then be "/tutorial". When the MapServer CGI program processes our HTML template, it will replace every instance of he "[root]" tag with "/tutorial". You will see this in action for each of the following examples.
So, let's build an interactive interface for our application...

Are you currently playing or have you ever played a MMORPG? Which one(s) have you played? Which one(s) do you like?
Feel free to discuss MMORPGs in this thread.
I've been playing World of Warcraft for close to four years now, exclusively on RP servers because of the more chilled atmosphere and fewer jerks. Here's my main, who's one of the top ret paladins in our guild right now. We're not cutting-edge or anything, but I think we're doing fairly well in terms of raid progress even though the number of active raiders has dropped off significantly in the past year; we're working on Madness of Deathwing now, and it's kicking our butts. A lot.
I've also got a ton of other alts of various other classes and races too. They just haven't seen as much love lately for a variety of reasons (the biggest being annoying technical issues). And while I do have some Horde alts, I mostly play Alliance because that's where all my friends are.
Though really...Cataclysm has been a pretty underwhelming expansion. There's just not a lot to do at endgame that isn't mind-numbingly grindy, and I don't like being led around by the nose with all my quests. Wrath of the Lich King really had a lot more going for it with a wide variety of questing zones and plenty of endgame content too; I think I had more fun during that stretch than I've had since Cata dropped. I've seen a lot of my friends quit the game for now citing lack of interest, and they're biding their time until the next expansion, Mists of Pandaria, comes out. I'm still not entirely sure what to think of that yet, but it's probably too soon to tell since it's not even in beta yet.
But since the end of last month, I've also gotten into Star Wars: The Old Republic as well, even though I'm what you'd otherwise consider a casual Star Wars fan. Already with my two characters, a Jedi Knight and a bounty hunter, I've found it a lot more engaging and immersive than what WoW has become. I'm still starting out, though, so I haven't seen as much of what's out there as I have with WoW, but it's still holding my interest a lot more lately. Now if only it wasn't being such a pain graphics-wise...
Those are the only two MMOs I've played so far, though. I've had a copy of City of Heroes sitting around for a handful of years (found it for really cheap), but I just haven't done anything with it, even though it's since gone free-to-play. Between WoW, SW:TOR, work, and all my various other hobbies and interests, I've got enough on my plate already.
I don't specifically play MMORPGs, but I have started getting into the MMO realm with Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer (the demo version as of now).
I haven't touched a MMORPG in 3 years.
World of Warcraft - Played for a day. It wasn't for me. I didn't like the overall user interface.
City of Heroes - Played for a year. The game concept was beautiful and addictive, but got repetitive.
Guild Wars - Played for 3 years. This was my favorite MMORPG. The "no monthly charge" concept made it fun to take a break and pick up any time. The gameplay was fun and easy to learn. I'll probably get back into it when Guild Wars 2 comes out.
Final Fantasy - I've been tempting on playing this one.
The last game I played was DCUO on the PS3. In 2009 I attempted to play Wizard 101 but the gaming experience was too kiddish. When I attempted to play League Of Legends on PC. I just didn't enjoy it and it wasn't what I expected. Now recently last year, I played so many RPG based games that it is hard to tell from the good and bad.
Guild wars - my favorite of all them. played almost daily from october 06-winter for 09. The heroes killed team game play though. recently they increased the allowed amount of heroes on a team to 7. I play MMORPGs to meet new people and play with others. Being able to use more then two upgradable NPCs on a team was a big mistake. I can't forgive anet for this.
City of heroes - played off and on over the many years since it's release. During moving I lost exe to my original account and now have a newish one. Much further along on my second/main account. Thanks to GW, I learned how to play MMOs properly. Sadly the freedom/hybrid model is failing this online rpg. Paragon Studios won't admit to it, but they have been losing more members lately then gaining new ones. It's not just one issue with the game and account rewards but many varying things. I believe this could of been avoided if they would of left COH/V alone and started a hybrid model with a City of Heroes/Villains 2 game, instead of trying to turn COH/V into a new game.
Star Wars: old republic - no comment
DCUO - not enough players. lack of team-ship thanks to a floude chat system. Plus dlc and cheats can easily be used w/o getting banned on the ps3 version. I have not tryed the pc version. I also think we who bought the game got a raw deal. We should of gotten 4 months of premium or 4 packs of dlc for free when the hybrid model came. It wasn't like it came in years after the game was released, but very early on.
Sorry to double post but I have an announcement.
Guild Wars 2 beta sign-up has started. Sign-up is only available for 48 hours. Sign-up soon or miss your chance for the beta. Remember if you do get in their is a NDA to sign.
Last edited by Fury Diamond; 02-22-2012 at 05:39 PM.
I would sign up for the beta but no time for playing at the moment.
Guild Wars 2 requirements officially released: LINK
There is a pre-purchase (not to be confused with pre-order) bonus.

in response to ThunderBirdTTY90:
The average Mexican has an 8th grade education (Worldfund.org) By the time one of their own graduates from high school in the U.S. they have a huge educational advantage. They would be an excellent candidate to return and help elevate their countrymen in Mexico. The Cuban Literacy Project from the '60s would be a good model. It doesn't take a baccalaureate to teach reading and math. Plus, if we export the parents too, Mexico would get people trained in agriculture, construction, hotel management, and criminal law.
I use Mexico as an example because that is the most common illegal in California. But the example could apply to Guatemala (4th grade), Swaziland (6th grade) or 100 others. Repatriating high school graduates could really provide a multiplier effect in the global war on poverty. much more than a few graduates from a pet project at Berkeley
The Mexican economy is producing jobs, but it's producing middle-class and upper-middle class jobs. Those same people you're talking about are competing with highly educated, upper-middle class Mexican graduates. People with business, engineering, computer science degrees from top Mexican universities.
Do you really think that someone from the US with a mediocre middle-school or high-school education will be able to find those sorts of jobs in Mexico? Those people have the education, experience and skill level for low-level jobs. They make the obvious choice when faced with the decision between taking a low-level job here in the US or a low-level job in Mexico (where they'll earn a tenth of what they'd earn in the US - if they can even find one).
And for the academically gifted and ambitious young Mexicans living in the US - why export them? Those same people can make a contribution here in the US, especially if they're given the chance to earn citizenship.

Obama's 'Own Goal' on Libya
Given those built-in obstacles, it has no need -- and can barely afford -- to invite needless trouble for itself, as it has with its inexplicably stubborn and short-sighted approach toward Congress on the Libya campaign.
Lawyers can argue, and evidently they did, about whether as a technical matter the Administration "had to" get Congressional approval for "hostilities" of this sort. But as a matter of politics in both the short-term and the broad historical sweep, of course the Administration absolutely had to involve the Congress. Short-term, by getting Congressional "buy-in" it would have buffered itself against the kind of rebuke it has now suffered. In the long historical view, it would have helped correct the drift toward unaccountable war-making power that candidate Obama himself was so eloquent in denouncing.
This was a problem foreseeable from the very start* -- more than three months ago, when we were told that this would be a campaign of "days, not weeks." Obama has so often proven himself to be the master of the long game that it is genuinely puzzling that he has stuck with this approach, rather than roping in Congress back in the days when most Republicans were criticizing him for taking too long to intervene.
Usually when his administration suffers a reverse, I blame the vicious nihilism of the opposition, or assume he has chosen the least bad of the dire options available. In this case, I cannot understand why he made and persists in what looks like a foolish mistake. Not the intervention itself, though I was skeptical of it. Rather, the refusal to engage Congress, which now leads to a predictable backlash.
* For the record, I'm not embarrassed to have what I wrote on the day this all began re-examined, in light of subsequent events. Also for the record, "own goal" is of course a soccer-world term for mistakenly knocking the ball past your own goalie and scoring a point for the other team.
One more for the record: a critical look at the other side of the Libya debate shortly.

I was always really self-conscious about my crooked teeth, but I thought the only way to get them fixed was with metal braces… until I discovered Invisalign.
The Invisalign aligners were so clear that hardly anyone knew I had them in, and they were removable so I could eat what I want, and take care of my teeth like normal.
