Terrified of my upcoming trip to Harbin.
Wikitravel's description of Blue's club in Harbin, where I am now. Sounds like my type of place.
Incidentally, Wikitravel has become my go-to travel source.
Went to Harbin this past week for the International Ice & Snow Festival. It was cold.
The exhibit in Zhaolin Park, known around town as the "other" show. I suspect that the sculptors and structure-constructors whose work is on display here need to "graduate" before they can have their work featured at the main event on Sun Island.
Still, I found this one charming in parts, largely because it was much less crowded than the other one, but also because of discoveries like that bizarre dragon emerging from the ground (not a sculpture, by the way) and that halfly-anatomically correct equine creature of some sort.
One of the highlights of Harbin is the food. At the top are some classic Dongbei* dishes. Bottom left: sugar glaze-covered fruit on sticks (known, I just learned, as tanhulu), which were ubiquitous. (I would have added "frozen" to the list of adjectives, but that should go without saying at this point.) I finally worked up the courage to try one on my last day — strawberry. It tasted exactly how I expected it to: like frozen fruit drenched in corn syrup. Somehow they sell like hotcakes should.
* The Chinese word for northeastern China, better known to most of us as Manchuria. Interestingly, when you Google "Dongbei," the first page that pops up is Wikipedia's entry, despite the fact that the word "Dongbei" doesn't even appear on the page.
Some highlights (+ a few lowlights) of the Sun Island International Snow Sculpture Art Fair, or SIISSAF, as no one called it. The theme of this year's whole Ice & Snow Festival is the "Tourism Year of Russia" in China, so naturally the SIISSAF featured sculptures of famous Russian writers, evocative village tableaus, quaint dachas, and alleged anti-Stalinists performing backbreaking manual labor in a Siberian gulag.
After finishing up with the snow sculptures, we found ourselves on the wrong side of the Songhua River, which separates Sun Island from the main part of Harbin. In front of us: an unlikely beach — a popular spot, I suspect, in the months when it's not 5-below — and a quarter-mile or so of frozen water. Behind us: an unfamiliar route and some taxis eager to gouge white-faced tourists. We decided to cross.
The Songhua was the first frozen body of water I've ever seen, much less walked on. Crossing the river was probably the most surreal experience of the trip, which is saying a lot.
Harbin boasts some Asia-class Engrish.

Just when things seemed to be turning around for Magnus Paajarvi, he gets injured. It's unclear at this juncture just how much time the forward will miss with what's being called an upper-body injury, but we do know that he won't be in the lineup tonight when the St. Louis Blues take on the Nashville Predators.
Paajarvi has an upper-body injury and will not play against Nashville. Morrow back in the lineup. #stlblues
— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) March 14, 2014
Veteran forward Brenden Morrow will draw back into a Blues lineup that hasn't lost in regulation since February 28 against the Anaheim Ducks.
The timing is especially bad for Paajarvi, who has been playing his best hockey in a St. Louis uniform lately. He has four points in his last six games, which makes up a quarter of his total on the season. Morrow will likely be chomping at the bit after spending St. Louis' last game against the Edmonton Oilers in the press box.

If you thought that Kobe Bryant was going to return sooner rather than later, you're right, except for the fact that he'll be out at least two more weeks.
The fractured lateral tibial plateau in Bryant's left knee just hasn't completely healed yet, even though the Lakers had originally thought that a medical re-evaluation could've came today in which he might've been cleared to play.
Bryant's level of discomfort is such that his visit with Lakers doctor Steve Lombardo on Tuesday evening before the Lakers face the Indiana Pacers will not even include an MRI or any other diagnostic procedure to judge the bone's healing, a team source tells Bleacher Report.
That same source tells BR that Bryant is expected to miss at least two more weeks, perhaps even another month.
The Lakers are 4-16 since Bryant went down with the knee injury, however, enforcements may be on the way. Jordan Farmar and Steve Nash are expected to return later this week, or at some point next week.

Graduation address given by Mark McDonnell
Mark McDonnell gave the following occasional address at the Faculty of Arts graduation ceremony held at 11.30am on 8 May 2009. Mr McDonnell is Chairman of the External Advisory Committee, Department of Government and International Relations.
The photo of speaker Mr McDonnnell is copyright Memento Photography.
Graduation address
Deputy Chancellor, Professor Hearn, Professor Garton, distinguished guests, graduates, ladies and gentlemen:
Welcome to the middle ages!
I refer not simply to this centuries old tradition, this rite of passage, we observe today; This ceremony with all due solemnity and sense of occasion
Nor by invoking the middle ages do I mean merely to allude to Blackett's magnificent, neo-gothic invention – this hallowed hall where we meet 'though all the form, rituals and trappings of the ceremony is so to be reminded.
No – more than this I welcome you, young, freshly minted graduates, to your personal fate – your middle age!
For as you leave here today, the greater part of your youthful years shall vanish too, and you step out into a new stage of life. A stage where career, money, mortgages, personal relationships, starting families, paying bills lies before you.
That exquisite instrument of medieval torture - the rack - may no longer be in vogue, but, be assured, as you approach your middle ages, you will be stretched. I'm sure many of you feel you have already been stretched - intellectually and in other ways - I certainly hope so. But what have you learnt? If each of you reflects - here and now - on the most valuable thing that you have learnt in your time here - what would it be?
I hope that you have found the years you've spent at the University of Sydney to have been worthwhile - challenging, productive and rewarding. The Faculty of Arts is distinguished for being less vocationally focused than many other Faculties. Narrow technical training for a specific role is not the main purpose of an Arts degree. Arts students can appreciate the pursuit of learning to be valuable in improving the condition of life in many varied and sometimes quite subtle ways, beyond its use in a job. It is a qualitative indicator of human progress that we are not completely consumed by the mundane pursuits of everyday life and appreciate the wider disposition of culture and society. The extent to which Arts flourishes is I think one of the chief markers of a civilized society.
Now it is customary in these rites of passage to exalt you all to realise your destinies, as future leaders of the realm - or at least in your chosen business or profession or in some worthwhile community venture. I'm sure many of you will have well formed views on this subject, already; some of you, no doubt, are fired with great ambition to lead and will do so. So given this weighty responsibility to go forth from here and, if not to multiply, then surely, in some way or other, to excel, it is apt to reflect briefly on what it is to lead.
To my mind, the finest qualities of leadership are arguably expressed most eloquently, most succinctly, in the writings of Aristotle who considered that leadership combined 4 great virtues. From time to time I make a point of relating this to people I know and asking them what they think those 4 virtues would be.
There is a remarkable consistency in the results of this loose and unscientific survey I've been conducting - really more of an ambush than anything else - for some years. Nearly always, regardless of whom I ask, 3 of the 4 Aristotelean virtues are identified. Those 3 are wisdom, courage and foresight. Of course, these precise words aren't always used, but fairly close synonyms are often given for these 3 rare and important qualities: wisdom, courage and foresight.
What is most interesting is the difficulty many people have in expressing the 4th quality - and it is integrity. Wisdom, courage, foresight and integrity. Great leadership is remarkably rare!
Speaking of leadership in terms of qualities and values - that is to say, in ethical terms - leads me to offer a few comments on a related, but wider subject: the primacy of ideas. As the clever marketers for the new Deutsche Bank building in Hunter St emblazoned their hordings, during its construction a few years ago, "an invasion of armies can be resisted but not an idea who's time has come". The quote is from Victor Hugo; it is remarkably perceptive and in many ways underscores the value, the whole point, of undertaking an Arts degree. You have spent your years here at this good University, dealing with ideas. Trying to understand them, to test them, to compare them - for some of you at least, to internalise them, by which I mean to try them out as part of the fabric of your life - to accept them or to reject them, often with your own subtle amendments. All I ask of you today is to let that continue. Above all else, I think we need to remember, that unless we remain open to new ideas, knowledge will cease to matter, it will become moribund - the essence of the human project will be at an end, a dead end. So, stay alive to new ideas. Read widely and above all, be honest, show integrity in the cultivated use of your well honed critical abilities in considering the limitations of your own world view.
Even in the most mundane fields of human activity, ideas are vital. As an equity market analyst, for example, I find constantly there is an inter-play of ideas and the outworkings of society, the interaction of industry and government policy, the success of business and its reliance on such intangible qualities as trust, confidence and expectations; these are all closely linked. Alternate investment theses are frequently no more and no less than the contest of ideas.
A brief anecdote will illustrate the point. Many of you will have heard of George Soros - an uncommonly successful investor, inventive and courageous, a man who's reputation was forged in taking on the Bank of England, over the value of the British pound, and prevailing in that encounter, to emerge even more extraordinarily wealthy as a result, a billionaire, several times over. He is today a major philanthropist and sponsor of democratic reform in parts of the globe where that idea does not have deep roots.
Soros' book Open Society, Reforming Global Capitalism makes for interesting reading. But first, very briefly, I need to give you the context. In the 2nd half of the 20th century, a new field of intellectual endeavour flourished in Universities, first in the United States and then throughout the world, especially the English speaking world, so that today many of the people working in finance and investment, whether in New York, or London or Sydney, have studied these relatively recent ideas, developed by the likes of Markowitz, Eugene Fama, Modigliani, Miller, Sharpe and others. What is interesting about Soros, in his book on reforming global capitalism, is that he makes no mention of them at all - not simply by failing to use their names, but in large measure turning his back on the whole school of modern portfolio theory - applied finance and its theoreticians. Instead, he explains how his entire approach to investing was deeply informed by his readings in the philosophy of science - a parallel development if you like, in the sense that it also arose as a major area of inquiry in the 2nd half of the 20th century, but with a completely different group of intellectuals to the fore - people such as Thomas Kuhn, Feyerabend, Lakatos and of course, the scholar who influenced Soros most, Professor Sir Karl Popper.
Indeed, on reading the book closely, it is clear that Soros adapted Popper's falsifactionist theory of science to his own investment process and of course he did so, quite brilliantly. Few people he encountered in the world of finance understood what he was doing or more particularly, how his thought process was so completely different from their own. Indeed, in large measure, Soros was studying them - but with an outsider's objectivity, and freed from the singularity and conformity of a dominating world view.
It never ceases to surprise me how strong the impulse is for people to seek to have a general theory of everything in their approach to life; how so often, all their ideas seem to come from the one place, the one body of thought, some over-arching ideology. So, when speaking of the primacy of ideas, I do want to stress ideas - plural; and encourage you to resist the great seduction: the comforting notion that there is one unifying theory of everything, the great metaphysical singularity that somehow explains everything. To me, such all embracing ideologies over-simplify reality and impose a mental straight-jacket on intellectual development.
In short, the only real advice I wish to give today is this: think for yourself, read widely, appreciate the immense diversity and depth of intellectual pursuits, and continue to learn. Despite your accomplishments, which we all applaud here today, there is much more for you still to discover, than you already know.
Your years at Sydney University - for most of you at least - are now over. Some of you will continue with post-graduate studies - I wish you well in that most worthy pursuit. Others shall return to their homeland - beyond these shores - congratulations on your success today. I wish you a safe return and great happiness in your reunions with family and friends. For all our scholars, young and not so young, graduating today, many with your family and friends here in a wonderful show of support, well done and congratulations for the degrees and honours you have earned.
Graduates, you have a wonderful start and great opportunities ahead. Your qualifications from Australia's finest and oldest University are a superb foundation for your future. I wish you all every success and a long and fruitful life beyond these years. I encourage you to maintain your links with this place, with its people, its worthy traditions and noble pursuits. Life is short, and unpredictable, but it is a great gift - live it wisely and live it well….after all, in a very little while, you too will be middle aged. Carpe diem, my young friends, carpe diem.

You want to make your lawns and landscapes, the places where your children play and your vegetables grow, as safe as possible. We provide the information – and practical experience – to help you do it.
Lawns & Landscapes
The guerrilla gardening movement has blossomed as it's moved from the underground (heh, heh) into the light of day. What is guerrilla gardening? It's the practice of planting — you might also say beautifying or greening — neglected, vacant land, both public and private. Sometimes this involves edible plants, sometimes decorative (or both). The act, despite its obvious benefits, is frequently illegal and anyone participating should be aware of the consequences, even if they're seldom applied. Thought the history of the movement has not been recorded — it's a guerrilla movement, remember? — it reputedly began in New York City and other urban centers during the 1970s when much land was abandoned and public spaces were often ignored. (more…)
June is here. Even in high elevation and northern locations — where we've just set out plants and are seeing germination from the previous weeks' seed sowing — we've already mowed our lawns a handful of times. In earlier zones, we've been mowing for months. No matter where we live, it's time to review some lawn mowing tips and tricks.
How is summer mowing different than spring mowing? It's less frequent. As spring moisture conditions give way to the dryness of summer, lawns grow less quickly. Higher temperatures also encourage faster moisture evaporation. The most important thing you can do at this time of year is to encourage moisture retention. The best way to do it? Set your mower to cut less grass. Generally, three-and-a-half, even four inches is a good height for the most common grasses (Bermuda, zoysia and other warm-climate grasses can be cut shorter). This is the highest setting on most mowers. Carrying a yardstick around your lawn and measuring different places — shaded and not, northern exposure and southern exposure — will give you a good idea how your grass is faring (and bring a kid-friendly pun to the common usage of the word "yardstick"). Longer grasses in your yard help shade the ground, thus lessening moisture evaporation. Shading the ground also discourages weed seed from germinating. Different types of grasses require different mowing heights. (more…)
Grasses may not be the centerpiece of your gardens but they are a great addition (see Ornamental Grasses). They provide texture and variation; their movements draw attention to everything around them and their rustling, especially when added to bird calls, creates a soothing garden soundtrack. If chosen correctly for your hardiness zone and moisture conditions, landscaping with grasses will provide year-round interest. They're hardy, need little care and are often overlooked by pests (except deer). Many varieties are available, in both seed and transplant form (wind, erosion and hungry birds take a toll on grasses sown directly in the garden; start them in containers). They're often the most native plants in native-plant gardens and therefore the most suited for local conditions. (more…)
Lest we forget — and it's easy when we're all wrist deep in soil — gardening is healthy! But you already knew that. Want to burn calories? The estimates suggest that gardeners burn 300 calories an hour, 600 calories an hour if they're doing heavy yard work. Spading the garden burns 150 to 200 calories per half hour (the rates vary between women and men). Women burn 138 calories per half hour weeding, men 181. As Sherry Rindels of the Iowa State University Extension Horticultural Division points out in the article linked above, using herbicides doesn't come anywhere close to burning the calories of hand weeding. And you're not exposing yourself — and your children, pets, and neighbors to chemicals that may cause harm.
The strength, endurance, and flexibility that gardening requires is especially beneficial to the aging (and who isn't aging?). And its been found that the kind of activities associated with gardening can reduce the risk of cancer. Not only that — as this article points out — "gardeners eat a wider variety of vegetables (rich in disease-fighting antioxidants and phytochemicals), and have a higher overall intake of vegetables than non-gardeners." If your garden is organic, the benefits are better still. (more…)

The New England Patriots and the Detroit Lions have announced that they will be moving to a variable pricing system for their seats for the 2014 season. The Chargers should get in on that action for the 2014 season as well. It would make sense and it could help the blackout situation that we have to fight every season.
Winning is the real way to combat the blackout system, but the variable pricing for seats would help.
For games that do not draw a large crowd, like preseason games or games against the Cincinnati Bengals, the ticket pricing would be cheaper. For games against the Denver Broncos and other teams that draw a crowd, the tickets will hurt your wallet a little more. The Chargers would be able to get a larger crowd for the games against teams that are bad and make back the money against teams that draw a crowd. The Chargers schedule in the coming season has a few big names coming to San Diego also.
The system doesn't change the prices for season tickets. The pricing there stays the same.
Why wouldn't Dean Spanos want to move to the new system?

But for real. And when I tell them about a part of the bible they don't know about they say, "well, we'd have to talk about Father Charlie about this, because he can probably explain it better than you can". Yup, get the man whose JOB is to twist it around, only ever talk about the feel-good nicey parts of the bible, and openly recruit and retain followers to talk about how the bible should be looked at. Just openly seek out bias why don't you?
Where are our family values? Why do we not support women like most other countries do?

Unconditional Parenting
Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason
moreMost parenting guides begin with the question "How can we get kids to do what they're told?"--and then proceed to offer various techniques for controlling them. In this truly groundbreaking book, nationally respected educator Alfie Kohn begins instead by asking "What do kids need--and how can we meet those needs?" What follows from that question are ideas for working with children rather than doing things to them.
One basic need all children have, Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including "time-outs"), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful, and largely unknown, research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval. That's precisely the message children derive from common discipline techniques, even though it's not the message most parents intend to send.
More than just another book about discipline, though, Unconditional Parenting addresses the ways parents think about, feel about, and act with their children. It invites them to question their most basic assumptions about raising kids while offering a wealth of practical strategies for shifting from "doing to" to "working with" parenting--including how to replace praise with the unconditional support that children need to grow into healthy, caring, responsible people. This is an eye-opening, paradigm-shattering book that will reconnect readers to their own best instincts and inspire them to become better parents. less

Recent News
- Summer reading distributions galore in NC and VT! Books are going out to students at Bugg Elementary, Yates Mill Elementary, and Davis Drive Elementary in Wake County, to name a few, and in Addison County to Mary Hogan ES, Weybridge ES, Salisbury Community School, and Cornwall ES, with more to come!
- This spring we have been excited to partner with several other organizations in Wake County, NC with similar missions, including Note in the Pocket, Read and Feed, Literacy Council of Wake County, and Books Are Magic, to help get books to the children they serve. Let's hear it for nonprofit mutual aid!
In February 2013, BBF donated a large collection of non-fiction titles to the libraries and classrooms of several rural Vermont schools, including Shoreham Elementary School, Orwell Village School, Ripton School, Mary Hogan School, and Cornwall School. A big thank you to the librarians at these schools for partnering with BBF!
- In December 2012, BBF hosted a "free book fair" at Leicester Central School in Leicester, VT. At this small, rural school, where 60% of the students qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, each child was able to choose three books to add to their home libraries. BBF donated more than 60 books to the school library and classrooms as well.
- BBF donated more than 300 books to HOPE (Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects), a social service agency in Middlebury, VT. The books were distributed through their Christmas Shop and Giving Tree programs which provide books and toys for low-income families during the holiday season.
- Over 150 books were distributed as holiday gifts to children living in foster families via the Foster and Adoptive Parents of Addison County. The children were excited to be able to pick out their own books at the organization's annual holiday party.

Books Change Lives
Children need access to books to learn and succeed academically and in life. It's as simple as that. Many of us live our lives surrounded by books. And the children in our lives are read to and learn to love books as part of the natural rhythm of growing up.
Sadly, U.S. Department of Education Research shows that over 60% of children living in poverty own no books at home. None. Zero.
Lack of access to books puts these young children at a serious disadvantage as they enter elementary school, and most never catch up.
Conversely, book ownership at home and easy access to books in classrooms, libraries, and after school programs are simple, highly effective interventions that can change the course of children's lives.
Together, we can help create generations of inspired, excited readers.

Patrick's Barn: The Inevitable Slowdowncomments (0) August 26th, 2011 in Blogs
Although I'd like nothing better than to be able to work on my barn for 40, 50 or even 60 hours a week, job and family activities don't allow it. Between traveling to Portland, Ore., for a photo shoot, a long-planned family vacation to Pittsburgh and bad weather in between, it's been about three weeks since I spent any real time on my project. But I try to do something every night after work just to keep things moving and to maintain my sanity. Carpentry is my favorite way to relax.
About three weekends ago I sheathed one half of the main roof on my barn. It went smoothly, but this was the easy side—the one with the shed roof to work from. The other side is this weekend's project. I spent a couple hours last night building a scaffold to reach the eaves.
Since my last blog post, I also took delivery of about 1200 board feet of native white pine that my coworker Dan Morrison saved from the chipper. The huge tree was being taken down on a neighbor's property, and he arranged to have it sawn and kiln-dried. I'm going to use 4/4 stock for vertical siding. I also have a smaller amount of 5/4 that I'll use for casing. It's beautiful stuff, almost free of knots.
You can read more about my barn here.

Belgium have risen one place to 29th in the latest IRB World Rankings on the back of a first ever victory over the Czech Republic, 19-16 in their European Nations Cup encounter in Prague on Saturday.
The victory - the first in five meetings with the Czech Republic - lifts Belgium above Tunisia and to within three tenths of Brazil above them. It also takes them to second place in Division 2A behind already confirmed champions Ukraine.
Belgium had to come from behind to seal the historic win, replacement prop Norman Wende scoring a try to tie the match at 16-16 before fly half Alan Williams kicked the winning drop goal three minutes from time.
The defeat sees the Czech Republic remain fourth in Division 2A and also fall two places in the IRB World Rankings to 35th, dropping them below the Netherlands and Poland to within half a point of Paraguay.
Belgium's win keeps them on track to finishing second in Division 2A

mailing list archives
A few users have reported reliability problems with the Apache Win32
Chunked Encoding exploit module. This module was rewritten shortly after
the 2.3 release and switched from a jmp ebx/esi to a pop/pop/ret return
address. This change allows the exploit to work against Windows XP and
Windows 2003 targets. Unfortunately, the new method also requires a
bruteforce of the return address alignment[1].
The code assumed that it would need to shift the address pattern 3 bytes
at the most to line it up with the overwritten SEH function pointer.
After further testing, it became apparent that some systems required a
full 4 byte shift as well as a 0-3 byte alignment to correctly cover this
pointer. Additionally, some combinations of operating system and apache
version would shift the entire request around depending on the length of
the string.
The solution was to allow for 0-7 byte alignment bruteforcing and pad the
end of the request to even out the request size regardless of the pad
value. The brand new module (attached) has been tested on Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP (SP1 and SP2), and Windows 2003. The tested
Apache versions include 1.3.9, 1.3.12, 1.3.17, 1.3.22, 1.3.24, and the
versions included with Oracle (8i (8.1.7) and 9i (9.1.0, 9.2.0)).
The new module will try the most common alignment values first. To use the
new module, select a TARGET value that best matches the vulnerable
system. Use the "check" command to determine the version and select the
target that covers the detected version. If this fails, there is a chance
that this is a custom build of Apache and that you will need to use an
operating system specific return address instead. If you are attacking an
Oracle 8i system, keep in mind that the server will fall down and die
after the first attempt (successful or not). If all else fails, set the
TARGET value to 0 for automatic and let it run through the entire list of
possible return addresses and alignment values.
Any test results or feedback would be appreciated, this bug affects so
many things that I figured it was worth the time to do it right :-)
1. So why are we bruteforcing the return address alignment when this is a
simple SEH overwrite? Reliability. Each version of Apache will shift the
SEH location around by a few bytes. Since there are so many "custom"
Apache builds out there, it does not make sense to hardcode the exploit
to the publicly-available binaries. The common alignment values are
placed first in the list of target values, but oddly-compiled servers can
still be reliably exploited (such as Oracle's modified Apache).
The request we send contains a set of chained backward jumps that will
bring execution all the way back to the shellcode in the beginning of the
buffer. This technique uses the standard SEH trick of placing a jump 4
bytes before the address, but instead of jumping forward, it redirects
execution to the previous jump:
[shellcode] [jmp -900] [pad] [jmp -16] [ret] [jmp -8] [ret] [jmp -8] ...
The [pad] value is incremented in size from 0 to 7 bytes, assuring that
we will eventually line up the buffer with the SEH offset and redirect
execution to the jump chain. The module specifies that the
Payload->MinNops value is 200; giving us some breathing room for the
final jump before the getting to the payload. Different operating systems
and versions will trash the beginning of the payload with another copy
of our request, this ensures that we will always be able to slide into
the payload without hitting garbage.

An examination of the first half of the Panthers Saints game.
Steve Smith leaves the game with knee injury
Steve Smith suffered a knee injury running a slant route in the 1st quarter. He was taken to the locker room for examination, however he returned for 1 snap before sitting down again. I'm not sure how much pep this offense can have without their go to guy, but the run game has been successful in the first half. If they can continue to run the ball well they will be able to put points on the board, something you have to do against a potent Saints offensive attack.
Defensive wreaking havock
The Panthers have been able to get pressure on Brees seemingly every play. He has already been sacked a season high 5 times in the first half alone. Greg Hardy continues to torment the rookie Armstead accounting for 2.5 sacks. Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly have been making plays all over the field. Davis's interception was key and Deangelo Williams rewarded the effort with a touchdown run on the very first play of the drive.
Updated Projections
The Panthers defense needs to remain stout if they are to have a chance to win. The Panthers offense still has playmakers but Steve Smith is a huge part of what they do. We'll look to see what adjustments Mike Shula makes on offense. Enjoy the second half Panthers fans. This is a good one.

I setup a doctor's office with Internet access using Covad's DSL network using a Netopia DSL modem acting as a dedicated bridge and a Cisco 871 router acting as the PPPoe client.I was able to get the router to authenticate and allow Internet access to sites such as AOL, MSN, craigslist, but some of the websites such WebMD would just stall and sit there. You would see the banner page at the top of the browser window but the content would not download and display. Does anyone know from this scenario whether this could be the DSL modem or the router?
your issue would be the router, since your modem is a dumb bridge. One thing to look at is MTU--Lightning Bolt Technologies
Could it be dns servers also?

Jada by Tupac Shakur
You are the omega of my heart
The foundation of my conception of love
When I think of what a black woman should be
It's you that I first think of
You will never fully understand
How deeply my heart feels for you
I worry that we'll grow apart
And I'll end up losing you
You bring me to climax without sex
And you do it all with regal grace
You are my heart in human form
A friend I could never replace
Damn. I forgot how much I f#cking love this.
I first read this poem 6 years ago, and I barely found out last year that he was referring to Jada Pinkett Smith.

Drug-Resistant TB Continues in California
June 7, 2005 -- Widespread efforts to control tuberculosis in California have largely failed to cut rates of dangerous drug-resistant forms of the disease.
The new report shows that tuberculosis cases have steadily declined since 1994 in the state. However, the proportion of patients with tuberculosis resistant to multiple antibiotics held steady at around 1.5% of all cases. More needs to be done to identify and control the illness both in the U.S. and abroad in order to cut rates of the disease, researchers say.
"Basically it's a flat line. It's not decreasing," Reuben M. Granich, MD, a researcher for the study, says of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis rates.
"We really can't do this in isolation. We have to do this in California, the United States, and overseas," says Granich, a researcher with the CDC division of tuberculosis elimination.
Efforts Failing
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection of the lungs. Some people can carry the bacteria in their bodies but don't have any symptoms -- and they aren't contagious. People with active tuberculosis typically have a cough with thick and sometimes bloody mucus for more than two weeks.
Tuberculosis is normally treated with six to nine months of multiple antibiotics. But if patients take medication improperly or don't complete treatment, some TB bacteria can be left in the body. When those heartier bacteria multiply, an entire new generation of drug-resistant bacteria can arise.
Public health departments and doctors try to combat the problem by closely observing patients taking medication each day, in an effort to ensure complete treatment. The treatment involves detailed testing and even interviews with patients' personal contacts, all of which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But evidence suggests that in California, resistant disease is still a problem, Granich says.
Researchers looked at nearly 29,000 tuberculosis cases reported in California between 1994 and 2003. The state has the most tuberculosis cases of any state, with approximately one-third of all the nation's patients. New York and Texas round out the top three states for the most tuberculosis cases.
Of those cases, 407 were found to be resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, two of the most common antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis. More than one in five of the patients had resistance to all four drugs used to treat tuberculosis.
Patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis are four times more likely to die than patients with standard tuberculosis. Forty-nine of the California patients, or 14%, died from their drug-resistant infections, according to the study, published in the Tuesday issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
A total of 233 Americans died in 2003 from all forms of tuberculosis. That pales in comparison to death rates in developing nations, where tuberculosis often infects up to one-third of the population, according to the CDC.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Federal Trade Commission's Rule concerning the Disposal of Consumer Report Information and Records (the Disposal Rule) requires small businesses that obtain consumer information from consumer reporting companies (e.g., Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion) to take "reasonable measures" to properly dispose of that information. Health care providers and financial institutions may have additional obligations to destroy consumer information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
Approximately 24 states have statutes that require small businesses to dispose of records that contain personal information. Similar to the Disposal Rule, the majority of these statutes require small businesses to take "reasonable steps" when destroying records. Some of the state statutes only apply to specific types of small businesses, such as health care providers, financial institutions, or tax preparers. You should consult an attorney to determine whether any state laws apply to your business.

[QUOTE=jetsfaneh;3517644]Not sure if you play the stock market but that little red arrow pointing down beside the Patriots logo is not a good thing. :yes:
The best part of free agency right now is that the Patriots have tried to get a few big names and none of them wanted to play for them. You can say it is all about the money but the truth is guys are not wanting to play for them.[/QUOTE]
Pats Signed the biggest FA on the market. VW wanted to stay a Patriot and he got his wish.
Peppers wasn't going to get a block buster deal from Pats. No secret there. Pats thru out a short money bid to see if he wanted to play for a contender. Pepper took the money. Good for him.
Mankins should be the next big deal to get signed.
FA isn't over by a long shot. Value counts just as much as Big Name/Big $$$ signings.
Patriots aren't going to roll over and die just because the Jets have a loudmouth for a coach.
[QUOTE=jetsfan1983;3517197]I'd rather let THomas go... I know the guy stays healthy and never fumbles, but skill wise he is not a great player. It was also pretty clear that Greene had moved so far above Jones as well by the end of the year.
The biggest reason however is the fact that he'll be 32. This position is just a young guys position. Running backs hit those ages and they simply fall off... They all do. [B][COLOR="Red"]Father time is undefeated[/COLOR], especially at that position[/B].[/QUOTE]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be lacking talent at defensive back on Sunday when they head to the Motor City to take on Calvin Johnson and the Lions, because Dashon Goldson's appeal of his one-game suspension has been denied, and he will have to miss the game against Detroit.
Appeals officer Ted Cottrell has upheld the 1-game suspension of Dashon Goldson. He'll miss the #Bucs game vs. #Lions
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 19, 2013
Or as Stephen White put it on Twitter, the Buccaneers are in trouble…
Goldson suspended, Adams on IR, who needs Dime defense when you have to go against Megatron tho? /sarcasm
— Stephen White (@sgw94) November 19, 2013
Michael Adams, as Stephen referred to in his tweet, was placed on IR this week, and his roster spot was filled by signing a third fullback rather than another defensive back. So Danny Gorrer must return to health, or Deveron Carr will be pressed into duty as the fourth corner. The undrafted rookie has been a healthy scratch in recent weeks.
Stopping Megatron is something Darrelle Revis has done on his own in the past, but the Detroit Lions will undoubtedly use creative techniques to get him open, and the Bucs will still have to contend with Reggie Bush, Brandon Pettigrew, Kris Durham and other Detroit receivers.
Goldson now risks a suspension or more every time he commits a similar, boneheaded penalty in the future. It's clear that the league has no more patience for Goldson, and he's going to need to alter the way he plays or he's going to hurt his team by missing out on football games on a regular basis.
The Buccaneers will likely start Keith Tandy at safety, with Kelcie McCray and Bradley McDougald filling in and playing in big nickel situations.

- Does Congress Take the Constitution Seriously? A Constitution Day Conversation
Do Members of Congress take the U.S. Constitution seriously? Do they attempt to shape their actions to what the Constitution says? Do they instead shape what the Constitution says so that it supports their actions (and condemns the actions of their opponents)? Or do they largely disregard the Constitution? Duke professors Chris Schroeder and Neil Siegel and UNC professor Michael Gerhardt discuss these questions from both an historical and a contemporary perspective. They also address the potential role of judicial review in bringing about the current state of affairs. Sponsored by the Program in Public Law.
- Supreme Court Review 2014
The Program in Public Law presents its annual Supreme Court Review. Duke Law professors Lisa Kern Griffin, Katharine T. Bartlett and Ernest A.
