Bears could have a steal in Troy left tackle James Brown
BY MARK POTASH AND SEAN JENSEN email@example.com email@example.com April 29, 2012 9:28PM

Updated: June 1, 2012 8:13AM
The Bears didn't use one of their draft picks on an offensive lineman, but they landed a player widely projected to be selected as high as the third round.
James Brown was among the 11 undrafted players the Bears agreed to terms with Sunday, and ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. rated the Troy left tackle as the 54th-best prospect overall.
Brown is 6-4 and 306 pounds with long arms, which is regarded as a prerequisite for an NFL offensive tackle. But there are concerns about his overall quickness and strength, and some teams believed he might be better suited as a guard.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Brown was open to playing any position on either side.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "I just want to play football."
In high school, he played right tackle. But he starred at left tackle at Troy, starting 38 games.
The scouting report on Brown in Pro Football Weekly's draft guide highlights his footwork, arm length and his "fiery on-field temperament." His negatives were mostly related to his technique. That isn't a huge concern because Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice is known as an excellent teacher.
The Bears' other undrafted free agents: Western Illinois wide receiver Terriun Crump, Wyoming running back Alvester Alexander, Old Dominion defensive tackle Ronnie Cameron, Louisiana Tech linebacker Adrien Cole, Maine safety Trevor Coston, West Texas A&M wide receiver Britton Golden, Albany offensive tackle A.J. Greene, Wayne State safety Jeremy Jones, Liberty wide receiver Chris Summers and Southern Mississippi linebacker Ronnie Thornton.
Smith on McClellin
Bears coach Lovie Smith said he has no concerns about first-round pick Shea McClellin's ability to defend the run.
"First off, you have to explain how a 6-3, 260-pound guy is going to have trouble doing that," he said. "Weight is one of the most overrated things there is when you talk about football players. You talk about strength and athletic ability more than that.
"We're not a two-gap, hit-guys-right-down-the-middle [defense]. We don't play that style of ball. We're a get-on-the-edge, maintain-your-gap [defense]. A defensive end that is 6-3, 260 pounds can do that easily. So that is no concern at all. Shea, believe me, will be able to hold his own with the big boys that he is playing with.''
Meanwhile, Smith insisted that McClellin won't be a linebacker for the Bears. Some projected him better suited to be an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme who can rush the passer.
"Where will [McClellin] play? He's not a linebacker. Let's start with that,'' Smith said. "He'll have his hand down in a three-point stance from day one, and he'll be in the defensive line room. We can't wait to get started with him.
"We think he can be an excellent pass rusher in the league."
McClellin eventually could replace middle linebacker Brian Urlacher. But the Bears wouldn't be inclined to admit anything now.

Comparing Three Methods for Sound Quality Evaluation with Respect to Speed and Accuracy
The goal of the present study was to compare three response-collection methods that may be used in sound quality evaluation. To this end, 52 listeners took part in an experiment where they assessed the audio quality of musical excerpts and six processed versions thereof. For different types of program material, participants performed (a) a direct ranking of the seven sound samples, (b) pairwise comparisons and (c) a novel procedure, called ranking by elimination. The latter requires subjects on each trial to eliminate the least preferred sound; the elimination continues until only the sample with the highest audio quality is left. The methods are compared with respect to the resulting ranking/scaling and the time required to obtain results.

Rumor Doctor blog archive
Does Chuck Norris offer hope to Iraq?
As all but a handful of U.S. troops prepare to leave Iraq by the end of the year, talking heads will debate whether the mission was a success. Certainly, Iraq is not the pluralistic democracy that we had hoped for, but it's also not the base for al-Qaida that we feared it might become.
We probably won't know for some time whether Iraq will turn out as a success story, but The Rumor Doctor can think of one reason why things just might turn out OK: Chuck Norris.
Norris has a large following among U.S. troops for his purported supernatural powers, known as "Chuck Norris Facts." However, his fans also include Iraqi troops.
In an exclusive interview with The Rumor Doctor, Chuck Norris recalled meeting Iraqi troops during a visit downrange a few years ago.
Chuck Norris, aka "the bearded ninja," was initially hesitant to talk to the Iraqis because he didn't think Saddam Hussein let them see his movies.
"I don't think they'll know who I am," he recalls saying at the time.
Oh, they knew.
"They were very lovable and just hugging me and kissing me," he said.
The Iraqis' embrace of Chuck Norris is a sign they have embraced what is best about America and the universe. He represents awesomeness; his favorite "fact" about himself has him running a marathon backward so he could see what it was like to come in second place.
Such is his legend that one tabloid went as far as reporting that Chuck Norris secretly killed former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, although he was busy filming "The Expendables" sequel at the time.
Some pundits predict Iraq will collapse after U.S. troops leave, but The Rumor Doctor believes that, inspired by Chuck Norris, the Iraqis will deliver a fatal roundhouse kick to injustice.
As for those who claim Chuck Norris killed Gadhafi: "Let 'em believe that," Chuck said. "Maybe through some kind of osmosis, my spirit did go over there and take him out."
THE RUMOR DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS: Iraqis who love Chuck Norris also love freedom, so The Rumor Doctor has hope that they will be able to counteract Iranian influence after U.S. troops leave.

Sen. Kip Averitts $492,000 water bill
The Ellis County Press
WACO – Sen. Kip Averitts withdrawal from his re-election race to represent Ellis Cou-nty and the rest of Senate District 22 has left gallons of que-stions.
Averitt, the 31-member state senate's go-to guy for future Texas water needs and considered one of the most liberal-voting Republicans in Texas, cited health reasons last month when he announced he would be dropping out, leaving conservative challenger Darren Yancy, R-Burleson, as the only major candidate left to succeed Averitt.
Chris DeCluitt, a State Republican Executive Committee member, is busy in Waco with Averitt supporters to get Averitt re-nominated despite the fact our incumbent state senator dropped out (his name is still on the ballot, though.)
DeCluitt, who could be the appointed GOP nominee should Averitt win re-nomination and get the backing of a majority of county chairs, and Averitt political forces are the same; without the DeCl-uitt family's help, Averitt would not have been elected to the state House in 1992.
Same for 2002 when Averitt, who faced Ellis County conservative Ed Harrison in the GOP primary, ran for higher office. It doesn't help DeCluitts cause, either, that ACO RN is also helping churn out the vote for Averitt.
The Brazos River Authority, the body that manages the huge swath of river through McLennan Cou-nty, appointed DeCluitt to its board of directors as a presiding officer; Averitts leadership in the Senate has steered loads of cash to the governmental entity for water needs. The BRA has also been sued by upstream Texans for breach of contract and failure to meet contractual obligations to the Brazos Electric Co-Op, specifically on building a dam to generate electricity for those who live near Fort Worth.
According to court documents, the Brazos Electric Co-Op was tired of paying $492,000 in annual dues for a dam to be constructed at Possum Kingdom Lake, a project Averitt steered money for several legislative sessions ago.
The Ellis County Press sent Averitt, DeCluitt and McLennan County GOP Chairman Joe Hinton a list of questions about this lawsuit, the allegations contained in the Brazos Co-Op s court documents two weeks ago, asking them to respond. The silence on this $492,000 "water bill" is deafening.
Many answers pertaining to litigation and allegations of breach of contract between governing entities is usually met with "no comment," but no comment at all?
Silence is, as the adage goes, an indictment. For the public efforts to keep McLennan County's role in Austin, this silent treatment is hard to figure out.
Yancy, meanwhile, declined to comment for this story but added he was focused on his race and keeping it positive.

India: A language federation
by Jacques Leclerc Montréal, Quebec
Capital: New Delhi
Population: 1.0 billion (2001)
Official languages (Union): Hindi and English
Constitutional languages: Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Meitei, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Urdu, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi, Tamil and Telugu.
Language majority: Hindi (almost 50% of the population)
Language minority: 1,600 languages, 398 of which are officially registered
Government type: federal republic of 28 states and 7 territories
Constitutional articles (language): art. 29, 30, 120, 210, 343 to 350 of the Constitution of 1956 (currently in effect)
Language laws: Official Languages Act, 1963 (amended 1967) Official Languages (Use for Official Purpose of the Union) Rules, 1976 (amended 1987)
India, officially the Republic of India, is made up of 28 states and seven territories. The country, with a landmass of 3.2 million km² (compared to Canada, with a landmass of 9.9 million km²), has a population of 1.1 billion (2006) who speaks 415 different languages and uses 10 alphabets.
1. The language federation
The 1950 Constitution created a language federation to resolve the problem of borders that did not reflect the communities formed based on a common language. The principle of an official language per state and per territory was introduced at the time, but has been difficult to maintain. In fact, today, only four states have only one official language: West Bengal (Bengali), Gujarat (Gujarati), Karnataka (Kannada) and Tamil Nadu (Tamil). Although a language federation is in place, the states must be redefined or new ones created periodically, based on linguistic realities.
2. The status of languages in India
As there are a very large number of languages, they have been arranged in a status hierarchy.
Indias official languages
Hindi and English are at the top of the hierarchy because they are Indias two official languages. However, these languages are a minority. According to the 2001 federal census, Hindi is the mother tongue of nearly 258 million residents (25.8% of the population), and the second language of another 220 million. English is the mother tongue of some 180,000 residents.
Constitutional languages
India has 22 constitutional languages: Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Meitei, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Urdu, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi, Tamil and Telugu. These languages, spoken by a combined total of over 70% of the population, benefit from their status: they are used by local parliaments, administration, schools, the media and businesses.
Official languages of states and territories
Each Indian state and territory is free to choose its official languages, including languages that are not considered constitutional languages. Hindi is the official language or the co-official language in at least 10 states and territories, while English is the official language or the co-official language in 14 states and territories. In total, there are 32 different official or co-official languages, including French in Pondicherry.
Other languages
There are over 400 languages that, while they are not official, are spoken by more than 10,000 residents. They are generally taught in primary school. Strictly speaking, they are minority languages.
There are about a hundred languages spoken by only a few thousand residents and these languages are not generally taught in primary school. However, the Commissioner of Linguistic Minorities looks at the use of these languages and regularly submits recommendations to the state and territorial governments.
3. Indias official languages policy
Indias language policy focuses on Hindi and English. When it was adopted in 1950, the Constitution stipulated that English and Hindi would be used for the official purposes of the Union for 15 years, then Hindi would become the only official language. However, Hindi could not completely replace English because of opposition from the southern states (Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu). These states claimed that the federal government was trying to impose Hindi, the language of the dominant ethnic group, on them. As a result, they preferred using English, which they considered to be neutral.
In 1963, the Official Languages Act officially declared Hindi and English as the languages of communication in the federal parliament, ministries and central government agencies or corporations. Generally speaking, the federal government communicates in Hindi in the northern part of the country, while it communicates only in English in the southern part of the country. The federal government also uses English where Hindi is not the official language of a northern state.
4. State language policies
The regional public administration functions in the states official language(s), except when it communicates with the federal government (in this case, Hindi or English must be used for communication). The language(s) of work are the same as the states official language(s) (generally three or four). Signs are also posted in the official language(s) of the state or territory.
For education, pursuant to Article 350A of the Constitution, all states and territories are required to provide instruction in the mother tongue at the primary stage of education to children belonging to linguistic minority groups. Generally speaking, it is also mandatory to teach one or more second languages at the secondary stage: the second language of the state or territory, or Hindi. English language instruction is mandatory at the higher secondary stage.
Municipalities can develop their own language policy and declare a co-official language in a given district, where numbers warrant. Municipalities are required to develop systems for public services, schools and official records.
In summary, India has developed many language policies because of its hierarchical language system according to the various administrative levels. At this time, neither Hindi nor English seem to be replacing the official languages of the states or territories, as these governments have the authority to redraw language area borders to peacefully protect the languages in their respective jurisdictions. Given Indias complex situation, the different languages are co-existing relatively harmoniously.

D-Link is, surprisingly, Taiwanese.
Which makes this backdoor a bit puzzling.
D-Link and G-String level security
Why though?
Re: D-Link and G-String level security
Well, I suppose it depends on who put the backdoor there, but the only country in the world Taiwan is interested in spying on is China, and somehow I doubt they sell many routers to China.
Having scanned the entire street and my route to work I have failed to find a D-Link device. This is most unfortunate as I really wanted to test this theory.
Re: Fail
These are all pretty old devices. I have a DI-524 on my network (and a DI-604 lying around somewhere spare), and they both have firmware issues that really mean that anybody still using them must have a masochistic streak, or not care (which may include the majority of users, unfortunately).
There has not been a firmware update for something like 8 or 9 years, and it is not possible to set the date on them (either manualy or by pointing it at an SNTP server) to any date after December 2008 if I remember correctly. I would expect that most people would have tossed theirs whenever they updated their broadband package.
Just in case anybody was tempted to try hacking into mine, I'm not using the WAN side at all, merely using it as a WiFi router on one of my wireless zones behind my Linux firewall.
Re: Fail
Having scanned the entire street and my route to work I have failed to find a D-Link device. This is most unfortunate as I really wanted to test this theory.
Based on the mean time to failure of D-Link devices, you'll be lucky to find one of the older models with this flaw.
Re: D-Link and G-String level security
re. Why
I go for cock-up rather than conspiracy; it's probably a feature for D-Link's own diagnostic/management software. It's still alarmingly stupid though.
Has anyone yet claimed that the people who published this are aiding terrorism for revealing t̶h̶e̶i̶r this back door?
No, read the user agent string backwards. It's the name and employee ID of the coder who implemented the backdoor. Interestingly enough the CTO has the same first name.
It would be nice to think
That the default config disables management access via the WAN port anyway, but I suppose that's too much to hope for.
Re: It would be nice to think
It does, usually. Thing is, is that enough or can this be triggered even with remote management turned off?
Re: It would be nice to think
on the 604, and the 614+ the default setting for the WAN port is remote management is OFF
Re: It would be nice to think
/yes on the router with the deliberate back door the same firmware says the remote admin is off
And hardly uncommon.
Does anyone have a link to a list of network gear which has been found to have this sort of idiocy plumbed in? It's getting hard to keep track.

How was this ever considered to be a good idea?
It's clearly a debugging addition that someone forgot to remove.
Big mistake, but while in development things like can be very useful and a good idea. What isn't a good idea is forgetting it's there. You should comment your code appropriately and do a global find to identify these things long before they reach production.
Re: Debugging
Strange way to implement a debugging addition.
"You should comment your code appropriately and do a global find"
Much better to get into the habit of using compiler macro's so that dev/debug code forms part of the source code narrative.

I guess they thought that nobody would find it. Quite a brave assumption.

True enough.
This is more a case of security through stupidity.

None so blind, etc.
So there's factory firmware that provides a backdoor, and the advice given here is to ensure that remote management access via the WAN port is disabled... ...according to the GUI on that very same suspicious firmware.
Re: None so blind, etc.
Getting rid of the device would be the best first step, but not everybody will be able to act upon that measure in a timely fashion. Disabling remote admin would at least stop a completely unsolicited probe from owning you. The unit could still be attacked via XSS very easily.
Re: None so blind, etc.
Well, it's not like you cannot test by yourself if the remote management access via WAN port is indeed disabled...
Found in 2010, Backward "Edit by 04882 Joel Backdoor"
Well its clearly a malicious backdoor, "Joel" even calls it a backdoor.
It seems to have been known/exploitable since 2010. At this point a full recall of D-Link kit and a lawsuit are required.
xmlset_roodkcableoj28840ybtide backwards is:
Re: None so blind, etc.
"So there's factory firmware that provides a backdoor"
It's pretty much accepted that every piece of embedded kit has some secret sauce to allow the makers to intervene when everything is badly screwed up, although usually it's in the form of some soopersekret login/pass pair.
Having said that, the sheer number of unconfigured routers I see on wifi isn't confidence inspiriing. There are still a lot of old pieces of kit out there even if more recent stuff has a random key or forces the user to set one.
Re: None so blind, etc.
Does anyone ever allow admin access by WAN? It's usually off by default and anyone turning it on is taking on a needless degree of risk I wouldn't accept.
If you want to access admin on the router, physically connect a cable. It's not so hard.
Re: None so blind, etc.
"It's pretty much accepted that every piece of embedded kit has some secret sauce to allow the makers to intervene when everything is badly screwed up, although usually it's in the form of some soopersekret login/pass pair." -- Or simply a JTag programmers kit.
Re: None so blind, etc.
Having actually read the original report, the backdoor was partially found through skill and partially a bit of luck. Who knows what else is in the code? If you can't trust the coder, then you can't trust the code.
Testing cannot reveal everything. It'd be like brute forcing. It ain't gonna work.
Open source is one viable option.
Do I need to explain everything?
Re: None so blind, etc.
"It's pretty much accepted that every piece of embedded kit has some secret sauce to allow the makers to intervene when everything is badly screwed up, although usually it's in the form of some soopersekret login/pass pair."
With something like this, the usuall fallback is the factory reset, which is supposed to reset the firmware back to default settings (which are written in the manual with the caveat that you're supposed to CHANGE it once you're in). Failing that, there's also usually the emergency flashing mode, which should allow for the flashing of ANY firmware in a local setting. If even that fails, then there's likely something fundamentally wrong with it and it will need physical attention in any event.
For those who can.
Install dd-wrt on their router. You will be glad you did. Sad you need to though.
Re: For those who can.
Why would anyone downvote a recommendation to install dd-wrt when the manufacturer supplied firmware has a major security flaw for which there's no current fix (other than replacing the firmware with something better)?
Re: For those who can.
Why are people down voting you for pointing out that fact...The internet is a funny place.
Up-voted you just to balance it out.
Re: For those who can.
I could understand the downvote if the OP was like guys often are, saying something like, "Any moron who doesn't put dd-wrt on his router deserves to get hacked anyway!", which is a really arrogant attitude - but he just recommended it "for those who can", which is entirely reasonable. Do the people who develop that firmware have any enemies? :P
Re: For those who can.
Those routers don't have dd-wrt support.
Re: For those who can.
Why are people down voting you for pointing out that fact...The internet is a funny place.
So, the recommendation is to brick these routers by installing a firmware they are not capable of running? A sledgehammer is a quicker and functionally identical method of "fixing" this issue.
Although not responsible for the original downvote I get tired to this relentless "DD-WRT is great" bullshit. In particular this idea that a $50 consumer grade device becomes a $1000 enterprise router with a change of firmware - "See, it does everything that this more expensive router does".
Apart from simple performance of course - packet throughput is frequently less than 1% of the more expensive device. It's frequently much worse than even the original firmware - those extra functions don't come for free but take extra processing time. This is leaving aside that third party firmwares, DD-WRT especially, usually aim for device coverage as opposed getting it to work properly on any single device. That frequently means a less powerful wifi signal if the antennae is not optimally configured. How many open source developers wanting a cheap, capable router have access to an EMI testing lab? That'd be none of them.
Yes, DD-WRT has it's place but all too often it is advocated in an axiomatic fashion by the relentless fiddlers. Like here for instance where the router does not support it. Too often it simply devolves to the point of "See, look what I've done, aren't I clever?" when the reality is no extra functions were needed so it is actually "I've made my router slower and less powerful to show how clever I am".
Re: For those who can.
Post of the week, if not the month!

> Too often it simply devolves to the point of "See, look what I've done, aren't I clever?" when the reality is no extra functions were needed so it is actually "I've made my router slower and less powerful to show how clever I am".
Well, it also means you have a router running open source software in all likelihood devoid of xmlset_roodkcableoj28840ybtide-style backdoors. And you can even check - if you're mighty competent and have too much time on your hands - or at least build from source yourself (if you don't trust the blob).
You can most certainly trust the community's source code review more than any company's.
That's where I see the value anyway.
What? You mean it's not...
Admin, 12345, anymore?
Re: What? You mean it's not...

Re: What? You mean it's not...
"No, it's Admin / Admin,"
Holy crap! Still?
Holy crap!
Who uses Dlink devices anyway?
Probably even fewer in future.
It is for reasons like this, exactly like this, that I live 4.8 miles from the neighbours, I don't use wifi, and have two separate wired networks in the house. On one, connected to the internet, i have diskless pc, a boot disk, a printer and a scanner. I boot from the disk and print anything i want to transfer to my other network. My other network is fully wired, has pc's, printers, scanners, and anything i want to transfer from the one network to the other I print on one system and scan into the other.
Oh, wait, perhaps I don't, maybe i just steal a neighbours wifi using a similar backdoor to the mentioned in this article. I love the prevalence of BT supplied H/W in the UK :-)
Backdoors have been around for a very long time, for some odd reason they seem to get little reportage, perhaps that is because of hidden influence?

Sodium: Smarten up and scale down!
Ready to take a step toward heart-healthy eating? Reduce the amount of sodium in your diet. To scale back without sending your taste buds into a panic: 1. Add spices or flavorings to your food instead of salt. Try salt-free seasoning blends. 2. Don't add salt when cooking rice, pasta or hot cereal. 3. Rinse canned foods, such as tuna, to remove some sodium. 4. Buy foods labeled 'no salt added,' 'sodium-free,' 'low sodium' or 'very low sodium.'

Applying the HQ system plus tretinoin offers multiple clinical benefits over standard skin care, including significantly greater improvements in fine lines/wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
Cortexolone 17alpha-propionate 1% cream, a new potent antiandrogen for topical treatment of acne vulgaris. A pilot randomized, double-blind comparative study vs. placebo and tretinoin 0.05% cream. [2011.07]BACKGROUND: Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit in which the androgens contribute to its onset and persistence. The use of antiandrogens is therefore potentially effective; however, antiandrogens for topical use are not available on the market. Cortexolone 17alpha-propionate (CB-03-01; Cosmo S.p.A, Lainate, Italy) is a new potent topical antiandrogen potentially useful in acne vulgaris. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety and the topical efficacy of CB-03-01 1% cream in acne vulgaris as compared with placebo and with tretinoin 0.05% cream (Retin-A(R) ; Janssen-Cilag)... CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study supports the rationale for the use of topical antiandrogens in the treatment of acne vulgaris. CB-03-01 1% cream seems to fit with the profile of an ideal antiandrogen for topical use. (c) 2011 The Authors. BJD (c) 2011 British Association of Dermatologists 2011.
Combined Tretinoin and Arsenic Trioxide for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Followed by Risk-Adapted Postremission Therapy [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to find what effects, good and/or bad, treatment with two drugs
has on leukemia. The first medicine is tretinoin (also called all-trans retinoic acid,
ATRA, or Vesanoid). It is an approved medicine that causes the leukemia cells in APL to
mature. It is related to vitamin A. The second is arsenic trioxide (Trisenox). It is an
approved medicine for APL that comes back after earlier treatment.
APL is most often treated with tretinoin and standard chemotherapy drugs. These
chemotherapy drugs can cause infection and bleeding. They can also damage the heart and
normal bone marrow cells. This can lead to a second leukemia years later.
In this study, the investigators are using tretinoin and arsenic trioxide together. Both
drugs work to treat APL. They have been used together in only a limited number of people.
The investigators want to use these drugs together to reduce the amount of standard
chemotherapy and decrease side effects. The patient will receive standard chemotherapy with
a drug called idarubicin only if they have a higher chance of the leukemia coming back or a
higher risk of side effects.
Comparison of Retinol 1.0% and Tretinoin 0.02% in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Photodamage and Wrinkles [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to assess the comparative efficacy of retinol 1. 0% and
tretinoin 0. 02% in minimizing wrinkles, discoloration, roughness, and other signs of
moderate to severe photodamage. Our hypothesis is that both products will be of comparable
A Study Comparing Combination Clindamycin Phosphate/Tretinoin Gel Alone Versus With Benzoyl Peroxide Foaming Cloths for Facial Acne [Recruiting]
There are many different factors that cause acne. So combination treatment using different
medications that can address these different factors is commonly used to treat acne.
Fixed-dose combination clindamycin phosphate 1. 2% and tretinoin 0. 025% gel and benzoyl
peroxide 6% foaming cloths are both used to treat acne. This study will evaluate the use of
the medications when used together.
A Comparative Study of Adapalene Gel,0.3% Versus Tretinoin Emollient Cream, 0.05% for the Treatment of Photoaging [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to:
1. Evaluate the efficacy of Adapalene gel 0. 3% compared to Tretinoin Emollient cream
0. 05%, reducing signs of cutaneous photoageing, measured trough photonumeric scale
evaluation, investigator evaluation of global response to treatment and subject's
evaluation of improvement.
2. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of Adapalene Gel 0. 3%, compared to Tretinoin
Emollient cream 0. 05% during 24 weeks of treatment.
The study has the clinical hypothesis that Adapalene Gel 0. 3% is as effective as Tretinoin
Emollient cream 0. 05% in the treatment of cutaneous photoaging.
Atralin Gel for the Treatment of Rosacea [Recruiting]
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea is a type of rosacea that causes a red face often with
frequent flushing, topical sensitivity and prominent blood vessels. We think that long term
damage to skin from the sun (photodamage) may play a role in causing this type of rosacea.
Tretinoin is a topical medication that is known to improve photodamage. We want to find out
if Atralin (tretinoin 0. 05%) Gel used for up to 46 weeks will improve
erythematotelangiectatic rosacea (ETR).

text: I am sure that part of the problem is the fact that farm wives have jobs off the farm. (For that matter many farmers these days hold down full-time jobs off the farm and do the farm after work and on weekends.) My grandmother canned obsessively. She also kept a garden that ran into acres and they would travel to various orchards and buy fruits to can and freeze. It was a way of life and for those that made it through the depression it was second nature. (She never owned an electric modern washer or dryer either.) My mother was an RN, so she never gardened nor canned. Between commuting to work and back plus never getting off on time or doing partial second shifts and being on-call on days off, she didn't have the time to can. You'd often find her in the field helping my dad with harvesting or hauling in or planting though. Those in town don't have the big gardens anymore either. Competing in the fairs is also akin to being in A&S. It takes awhile to learn what the judges want to see. I used to get asked to judge in 4-H competitions. It's an odd skill-set. We always wanted to see cookies that filled the plates. They had to be the same size and the same color. They had to crumble just right. This meant that maybe the entrant had to often bake 3 or 4 batches to get that perfect 3 cookies to put on that 6 inch plate. I have thought about entering the local community fair here in Chelsea, but it's also the week before school and that's always a very busy week. They actually still select a Homemaker of the Year in this town, based upon things like cooking and canning and sewing. Johnnae Phil Troy / G.

Seagate, WD should put a gun to Brussels' head
Obivous case is obvious
How can the EU prohibit them? Easy, they just have to say so.
As for the uber-uncompetitive situation you describe it implies that the merged entity can and will afford to be shut out of the second largest market in the world. Chances of this happening are remote to non-existent.
Now if the EU was a tiny entity accounting for 2-3% of sales then anything they declare would just be disregarded.
It's called leverage and big market authorities use it well.
World Health Organization: Mobile phone cancer risk 'possible'
Who the hell downvoted the above post!????
Add to your list Galois and Turing. Oh wait, they castrated Turing and threw Galois in the slammer....
You don't read many....
cartoons then....
Lightbulbs and brains are the quintessential protrayal of creativity and inventiveness!
Erm, no....
I don't normally appear discourteous but please get a grip.
If this was the case then victims should start dropping like flies right about now.
And all the RF engineers would be like Marie Curie and their tools exhibited behind graphite glass.
Although, if some nutter uses the analogy to force a ban of mobiles in public places for fear of second-hand radiation, I'd love them. Start with schools then public transport and close off with eateries. And given the PC times we live in, force the provision of purpose-built anechoic, antenna totting, faraday cages for the terminally addicted.
God, that must have been some strong milk I had this morning....
Android app sales skimpy, sluggish, slack, scanty...
Positive but...
The rooting bit is only needed if you plan to use your phone to do the repartitioning.
Connecting the SD card via USB and using Linux or a LiveCD and then gparted or some such utility will do this for you on the fly with no need to root anything at all. Again, this will only work on Androids 2.2 or higher. Earlier versions don't support this feature.
There are (obvious) RISKS which in fairness I must mention: a) As your SD will become part of your 'system partition' any damage to it will mean severe problems in the handset's function. Hence a good backup utility is strongly recommended. [It may sound like a no brainer but people have been caught out as SD's are nowhere as resilient as baked memory chips in the phone] b) Due to Linux's priviledges scheme, just copying the SD's ext3 partition contents to your PC will NOT make them functionable in case of a re-install, so don't rely on this method for a backup. c) Preferrably use a card reader for the operation and not the phone itself. If you insist on using the phone, go to USB options and tick the debugging option in your settings menu.
Repetition, Deviation, Hesitation
At the risk of (thrice) repeating myself : you can get your android phone (2.2 upwards) to have as much as 32gb storage space given a big enough SD. card. That's native 32 gigs, No a2sd malarkey. Scroll back for instructions or research a bit.
Your phone's memory will show up as the sum of the phone's internal storage plus the ext3 partition's size on your SD card.
Once you do this, you don't need to move anything to the SD card, as the combined space will show up as one chunk of internal storage.
(Apps2SD is actually harmful imho as it confuses users, doesn't work on all apps, can't work with widgets and locks the apps when connecting in "mass storage mode").
To add on the previous posts, by far the least complicated way to do this is to use a Ubuntu LiveCD, boot into it and use partition editor. So what if your manufacturer allocated a measly 256MB in internal storage. Partition the damn thing to a 1GB ext3 and hey presto, your internal phone storage will shoot up to 1.2GB's.
The main problem I have seen with droid devices is that they are so badly pummelled by the manufacturers and resellers that they end up degrading in performance. If only rooting/reflashing/cleaning up was available as a one-off service charge to users instead of each having to do this on their own....
dont foeget....
Don't forget to move all your apps back into memory in case you had moved them with a2sd. That's because the ext3 partition will function transparently as extra phone memory.
Partitioning an sd card is trivial yet I've only seen it on rooted phones. The easiest way is to do it using disk utilities in Linux. Failing that, there's a windows app to do it too. Search for it, you can't miss it (i'm on bberry now so can't tell you). The important thing is to back up your sd in case anything goes wrong. The easiest way would be by rooting your phone and using clockwork's free app to do this for you. Windows is messy because of MS's oblivous to any file systems other than fat or ntfs. Also visit modaco for step by step instructions
Even apps on SD is not necessary...
As i wrote in a previous response, all you need is android 2.2 or newer and an SD card.
You can partition your SD card between FAT (its native format) and ext3 (linux file system).
Then whatever space is on the SD under ext3 will be transparently added to your storage size.
So partitioning off say 512MB of a 2GB card leaves you with 1.5GB for your pics etc. and doubles (if not more) the storage space for apps and your system data.
Even apps on SD is not necessary...
...because they will stop working as soon as you hook up on USB (mass storage).
Best thing to do (on 2.2 upwards), is partition your SD card into FAT (usual stuff) and ext 2/3/4 (best one is ext3).
Android will view the ext partition as native disk space and you won't even need to move anything anywhere AND will keep working when hooked up. And this pretty much negates the huge mark up of going from a 16GB version of an android device to a 32GB one. Why pay extortionate rates when 2.2 upwards will work with microSD's up to 32GB.
For the record I have about 380MB's on my little beauty. Tinker a bit and it's amazing what you'll be able to do :)
Intel's future Sandy Bridge Xeons exposed
Correct me if I'm wrong...
But the 10-core intel chips you refer to are westmere based, not SB and hence not (yet) existing in the SB range.
Furthermore, (if I got the slides correctly) there's no plan for a SB 10-core variant given that the chipset supports up to 2x8-core chips. And that's on socket 2011 which is not (yet) released in any product segment.
Care to enlighten me, or have I been drinking too early today?
Is the IT Dept failing users?
Hmm, really?
You don't say...
While I have a deep disdain for most IT departments' actions I (regretfully) admit that they operate under hige burdens and constraints.
Consider for a moment the legal implications of their work and of inadvertent blunders. If I were an IT admin I'd instinctively tend towards total lockups to minimise my risks to the fullest extent. So I take it as a given that IT will err on the side of caution. That's before we come to staffing and budget constraints.
In fact I enjoy being the eternal whiner from the sidelines without a stake or risk in the process (something akin to the LibDems pre coalition ). I can't see a reasonable balance ever being struck. Giving more freedom to us great unwashed will certainly heighten the risk of costly mistakes; while locking us in will make our whining even more vociferous. All the while, the goalposts are shifting. I'm looking forward to the opinions here...
Explosion in iPad factory kills two, injures more
Well, not really...
There are indeed less bloodthirsty EMS's although not as successful. I don't know if it's prohibited to name names but think flextronics, jabil, sanmina and countless others. Alternatives exist and the price differences are marginal. Voting with one's wallet is certainly possible. The. big issue is that anybody who is anybody shops there. Apple maybe the focal point but there's an endless list of top brands working with foxconn (dell, for a start). And as for their previous measures they're smoke and mirrors. (i can elaborate on this if necessary).
El Reg iPhone app rated a flaccid 12+
Alas, no... (or not yet)
Well, at its current incarnation (using on Android) there's no option to post comments.
What's more frustrating though is that you can't even see the comments either....
For me, comments are 50% of the reason I hang out here....

Survey shows slab-fondlers are loving their iPads
Thank you all
Some very good and enlightening posts here (well, for ignorant me, anyway).
I can now see how a handy, reasonably sized device be a better alternative to a laptop.
And I guess, I should agree that if I just had a nagging question to look up on wikipedia, I'd rather fire up a tab and get my answer than waiting for the entire boot sequence of a laptop.
Also, having an overview of one's mail/social not working situtation is also ideally suited to it.
As a non-user I'm not entirely convinced about the merits of the larger screen but I withhold judgement until I use one for a while and compare with my smartphone.
I'm tempted to side with user who argued over "post-pc" eras. Well, if some casual browsing, light emailing and similar activities is 90% of most users' needs then I'd agree that a PC (or a laptop) would be overkill. Yet I constantly find myself having to fire up "the beast" (aka my PC) for things that a tablet/smartphone couldn't handle.
P.S. Sometimes, the comments are even more educational than the articles, go go Register.
Tablets are supposedly great for consuming information, though I can't see why a well-endowed/proportioned smartphone can't do the trick. Producing or manipulating info on a touch keyboard is at best tedious and at worst suicidally moronic.
With this in mind, I'd love to see what use there is for one. As for the Post-PC era, don't get me started. It's the bloody post feature-phone era ffs. It's those "dumb" phones that got obliterated and substituted. Not the computers, much as everyone would like it to be so.

Google misses Russian trick with Opera snubs
Opera mobile...
... has been the bane of my existence. The main reason i no longer use it is because i couldn't post comments here always returning an uknown request. So , on my blackberry, I'm stuck between the native browser's memory impotence and opera's haphazardness.
Opera (esp. mobile) leaves a great lot to be desired :-(

On linguistic purity
An alternative reading of the situation would be that English has been so popular and successful that as more people use it more "contributions" (with or without the quotation marks) are made to it. I say celebrate it and be proud.
I enjoy a beautifully authored piece as much as the next man, but language is a living, growing thing, not a snapshot of a standard frozen in time.
Not to mention the huge advantage of being understood practically anywhere.
Stolen smart-meter SIM leads to outrageous 3G bill
Not quite...
Actually, privacy authorities worlwide are pretty strict on this area.
All communications are encrypted via SSL and all messages havve unique signatures (derived from the hardware profile of the meter) to prevent tampering.
As I work for such a smart meter company, I'm astonished that while utilities request all sorts of features they end up not making use of them. Things like tying the SIMcard to hardware, restricting the domains it can access and a million others besides. All these drive costs for the meters yet utils seem not to be using them.
Huawei smacks ZTE with patent and trademark lawsuits
Yes, very...
And the funniest thing is how little ever seems to come out of those.
How many years have apple and nokia been at it and yet we've still to see any outcome (caveat emptor: If I've missed it, pls point me to a source).
Departments reveal mobile device spending
@ Andy
If it's ironic then I can't see it (blame the lunchtime drinks or lack of sleep).
Sub-£200 (mostly) yearly spend all-in doesn't sound too bad to me. That averages 16 quid a month.
Bearing in mind that many of those sets would be engaged in international and roaming calls, it really doesn't sound much at all.
Even considering UKG's big-customer status.
YouTube to launch paid video-on-demand service
So.... What's different this time?
So, will that be a Netflix look-alike or a hulu clone? In either case what's the big deal?
And if it's regionally restricted (I can't see the studios allowing it any other way) then what's the point?
Paris, for want of a confused icon.
Ubuntu seeks Android-packin' Windows deserters
Facepalm icon not available (yet...)
The Orange SF is a branded version of ZTE's blade. Nothing to do with the SF bay area.
As for having a linux distro side-by-side to your main one, it's not that difficult. In fact you can have your ubuntu on a USB and use it on demand.
Actually, ZTE has provided some very nice solid drivers for their phones; just their direct downloads are rather crappy. But ZTE drivers are widely available and work as planned even on x64 systems (I own an SF, unlocked, rooted and modded from the get-go and it works a treat on all my O/S's)
I haven't ever paid for A/V, and haven't had anything bad happen to any of my boxes.
Besides, using a normal account and having a regular backup gives me as much protection as I need.
I've got 5 HDD's on my main box and 2 of those are replete with a gallery of distros. (My grub shows about 14 different options at startup)
And yet, there's not one of them that can do anything simpler and/or better than my windows does.
Games? I'll leave that for another day. And there's no shortage of freeware on windows either.
@doperative: What effects does a user feel of the issues of FOSS ran under Win7? How do these affect a user directly/personally? I don't want to take the thing apart and mod it, I just want to use it.....
This obsession with FOSS and licencing issue can be counter productive sometimes (GMA 950 lack of support all because of licencing issues and programmers throwing a tuntrum 'cause the code isn't handed over to them to play with, etc.).
I've been a potential convertee, ready-for-the-taking for years but the only place where linux shines is in my ulta-under-specced netbooks that couldn't handle anything heavier. I genuinely want to switch but can't find a compelling enough reason.
Mother of all Win 7 rollouts: Microsoft eats own dog food
So, a bunch of techies are good at using their computers....
Why should it be surprising that Microsoft's workers can perform the spectacularly simple task of installing an O/S?
What I found surprising was that there were still people having to revert to their helpdesk!
Winfrasoft touts pattern-based password alternative
Yes but mostly No
As a color-blind person who spends his free time, colour coding wikipedia tables I can attest that the colour don't cause issues. That's because they are on large enough swathes and with significant enough tonal differences that even a completely coloublind (very rare; most of us have trouble differentiating red/green hues) wouldn't worry about it.
And having the numbers duplicate along the grid makes identification harder.
However, how long before 90% of the peoples' patterns are a long enough straight line either on the first horizontal line or the the first vertical column?
And as a previous poster noted, don't try to change patterns regularly or it will be even worse than people recycling passwords.
Is there any knowledgeable security/encryption expert who could explain to me why do all systems start with the goal of un-doing mental patterns and habit evolved over millions of years? Let's face it the human tendency is always for a single sign-on approach. (Have just the one password, no matter how difficult or long). When all studies identify human factors as the no.1 vulnurability it's amazing that such systems have not adapted to accommodate this.

UK opposes EU plans for '28th regime' for contract law
I can understand all the guys worried about Brussels creep etc.
But there's a huge BUT of epic proportions here: The very essence of the founding treaties are about the free flow of trade throughout the EU.
But why deny a clear-cut set of can and can't do's so that everyone knows what they are in for.
If we have a 30-day money back regime why shouldn't the Poles and Hungarians (to name a few) enjoy this too?
It was the same with late-flight compensation schemes. They used to vary by carrier, airport and country. So one was never quite clear what they were entitled to and usually ended up getting nothing.
Look at the U.S.: Millions of state laws but there's a bare minimum of what you can and should expect when buying stuff. In what way is this bad? Clarity and simplicity lead to wide adoption!
Intel 'Sandy Bridge' mobile platform
SandyBridge or "An study in trifle"
Whatever happened to Intel as we knew it over the years.
First they mess up their ticks from their tocks.
Then they go about releasing the weaklings and pushing the battleships further back in the queue.
Enthusiast Sandy Bridge (i.e. LGA 2011) has been on the cards for ages and yet months before its (intended) release there's nothing in terms of information out there.
Nehalem/Westmere have stayed at the top spot for longer than any other Intel CPU.
And don't start on Intel's Wireless Display or Toshiba's et al. Display Link. Neither do full-HD, their range is pitiful and the delay from compression/decompression means they're useless for anything other than media players. For gaming or other general work, there's (frustratingly) still no beating an HDMI cable on the back of a GPU :(
Ten... wireless keyboards
Any and all keyboards type whatever you tell them to type.
I live in Switzerland and all my keyboards are qwertz. They still behave and type exactly as a UK keyboard.
That point is only valid if you don't remember where each key is or what it should be under your preferred keyboard layout.
Good points... mostly
You're right on most points.
Battery life is crucial although I'm inclined to think that as long as we're only talking of keyboards then batteries can last at least half a year without change (MX5500).
Mice on the other hand are hogs by virtue of their need for constant communication.
As for Bluetooth, I disagree. Bluetooth has proven extremely resilient in interference and has unbeatable range in comparison to alternatives.
P.S. You're right too on the dongle thing. Having snapped a couple of those over the years, it's become an important details for us clumsy people.
Well it looks like when it comes to wireless keyboards Logitech has it sussed.
I've tried countless "wireless" and "laser wireless" combos only to be frustrated in no time.
Since the DiNovo and the bluetooth MX5500 I haven't looked back. They're both used right in the middle of interference central (Wireless router, 5 wireless cameras, wireless speakers, wireless DisplayLink etc. Oh, and a phone too) and they never miss a beat, especially MX5500's mouse.
I'm with the old-schoolers of haptic feedback keyboards with their wonderful clicks and old-school reliability design but that's out of the question on a wireless keyboard.
IEEE releases next-gen powerline spec to gadget makers
It's not just gadgets
Powerline comms will be a huge deal with smart metering roll outs.
Especially in Europe (and its 20-20 agenda) 1901 can expect trememndous penetration as it eliminates more costly alternatives (2.5G/3G) and given its range, makes for most much cost efficient networks based around data concentrators instead of each meter being a standalone terminal.
Five essential BlackBerry apps for business
Missing info
While the descriptions are fine, it would be very helpful to research a bit the permissions and other parameters required for those apps to function.
For those on BES, the security policies can render many apps not entirely working or at least not working as intended. Some insight into what requirements/potential conflicts these 5 would create would be welcome.
Grey marketing is great - if you're the importer...
The case for segmentation...
is NIL!
It's really indefesible and the author's lack of credible arguments reflect that.
In fact, if everyone was doing their job properly segmentation would have been eliminated de facto. Alas it didn't.
And what's with that feeble argument on playstations?
