I'm trying to get my thoughts on holiday chocolate collected (and they are turning out to be few and to the point) but in the meantime I absolutely HAD to share this. I was over at Luxist (looking at things I could never afford ever) and they had a link to this series of looks into a Dallas-area chocolatier and their high-priced single origin chocolates. It's a really interesting piece of investigative journalism and I don't want to spoil the punchline for anybody so I'll keep it at that. Just give it a read.

NBC Announces The Apprentice Martha Stewart Finale
November 09, 2005 12:01 AM by Joe Blackmon
NBC Universal announced recently that "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" finale will be broadcast live on Wednesday, December 21 from 8-10 pm ET/PT. The two-hour finale will feature the culmination of the final two tasks, a cast reunion and the live conference room hiring where the newest Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia employee will receive a $250,000 'apprenticeship' working alongside Stewart and her executives.
Candidates go all "out" on this week's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart"
With eight remaining candidates, in this week's episode of "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart," the two teams go all "out" for the assigned task to sell outdoor products live on QVC (November 9, 9-10pm ET/PT). The teams choose one product relating to the outdoors, design a sales strategy and sell the product live on QVC for 10 minutes. The team with the most revenue at the end of the 10 minutes wins. "You have to communicate, you have to know the product, you have to believe in the product and sell that product to the widest possible audience," says Stewart.
As friends battle it out in the conference room, Stewart declares, "You just aren't passionate enough…and this job at Martha Stewart Living requires a real passion…"
"MATCHSTICK" (Creatives): Ryan, Dawna, Amanda, Leslie, Marcela
"PRIMARIUS" (Corporate): Howie, Bethenny, Jim
"The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" is produced by Mark Burnett Productions. Mark Burnett, Jay Bienstock and Donald J. Trump are executive producers. Conrad Riggs and Kevin Harris are co-executive producers.

martha stewarts apprentice show is really bad, she tries to act like Donals Trump, she copies the Donald , the other week he fired four people and what did Martha do she fired two, Martha is better of staying in kitchen baking and planting
she is really causing a lot of viewers to keep nfrom watching the real apprentice

I've been very happy with the show. I like the nice way Martha handles the board room. A few things she has said are just great..Don't ever CRY..Don't give up..
When you listen and not judge these self made millionairs you can learn. Open minds gather much knowledge.
Keep up the good work. It's a good thing!

Martha's show is fabulous. She isn't the condesending cad Donald is. The gets her point across and dosen't make you feel like crap. She is 100 times better than Donald. I love the tasks she gives the teams and the resources at their deposal. Go Marti……..

Martha's show is great! I'd like to see a play-off between Martha and the Donald as part of the season finale. Let's pit these two masters against each other — winner takes all!

I'm enjoying Martha's Apprentice very much. Having never been a Martha fan or even knowing much about her other than her recent legal problems, I'm surprised how much I like her. It's easy to see why she is so successful. My only suggestion is that she smile more often. When she smiles, she transforms into a beautiful woman rather than just the savvy exec. I certainly hope the show is renewed.
Bridget Says:
November 11th, 2005 at 8:12 pm
I agree with CC Charles, Martha is doing a greatjob with the show. I'm glad she is herself and not a copy of Donald.I can't understand how she gets all the things done that she does. There are only so many hours in a day. Martha should have had about a dozen kids. We need more Marthas around.
Noreen Says:
November 11th, 2005 at 10:33 pm
Martha will ask a question "Y" and then scribble a decent dismissal note with a slight "perker-upper" to the candidate she lets go. Then sometimes states, "does not fit" and or "u need more experience". I believe she states it as it is. On the other hand …. DONALD TRUMP is a TRIP … to tell a young adult, "Go on, get out" does **NOT FIT** the show such as The Apprentice !!! Note the word 'Apprentice'. This is the Apprentice, not a firing range/shotguns. I have heard of preparing young people for the workworld, that's a parents job, not a television 'high-end ego' person's PLACE !!! Becuase he was not treated good at his schools, does not mean he do same. I think Mr. Trump needs a lesson in non-self-absorption/maybe an appretice lesson or two for himself. No young person should be brought to tears on such a show that is suppose to be a """"Positive"""" experience especially for a young person !!!! Gosh I am peeved ……

Now they are offering 300.00 to take a survey about Martha? I thought check it out so I did. Now it is nothing more than another way to fill some ones pockets with your money. They charge you a membership fee! Boy if Martha and her Apprentice show approve of this she must be really hard up since she got out of prison. Since it is here they must approve. Please folks sign up and send them your money. She and the network really need it.

Jim is so obnoxiuos, I cannot believe Martha hasn't "planted" him there to WIN ! He speaks over people, including Martha, he agrees with comments that are on the winning side, as if he is a judge, as opposed to a contestant,and has done nothing wrong. I hold Martha as a person of high standards, Jim isn't worthy of a capital j !!

Something really puzzles me. Are these apprentice-wannabes not allowed to use the internet? It seems to me, since some of them have laptops, that this would be a no-brainer. Just as John Dean zealots raised huge amounts of money for their candidate, if you're trying to sell coffee makers, declare a coffee-drinkers meetup, buy the word pair "coffee" and "NYC" for a day on google, go in to coffee discussion groups online, milk the net.
Also, are they not allowed to mention that they are part of the Martha Stewart Apprentice show? There are tons of free advertising placements in New York (or cheap ads, like Time Out NY, The New Yorker, New York Magazine. Why not use them? I don't get it, are there rules against this? I know they only have 1 day for the task, but that doesn't matter if you post announcements online.

I much prefer the Apprentice with Martha then Donald!
Donald his so full of himself it gets anoying!
She seems to be more humain and I like that fact that she gives her input on the task or why they failed or succeeded.
They shouldn't have had both Apprentice at the same time. Who the hell made that decision??? not too bright!

I have looked forward each week to March Stewart – Apprentice; it will be a shame if you do not renew this tasteful program for another season. I have lost most of my interest in Donald Trump's Apprentice – whatever would give him the right to humiliate a contestant by asking him about his sexual experience – the young man handled himself so well, but had every right to walk out of the boardroom. As tough a reputation that Martha has, she has too much class to ever do something like that. Please reconsider her show.

I have not missed one of the Apprentice shows and I for one enjoy watching Martha she has a lot of business sense. I own my own boutique and if I can be half as sucessful as she is I would be happy.

My wife and I have enjoyed the Martha Stewart Apprentice show even more than season three of the original Trump version.
I have to laugh at those who have criticized Martha as "copying" the Donald, hello!? The Donald is the Executive Producer and this is his Apprentice show, just with Martha doing the hiring for her company – why don't people see this distinction? That is why the two shows are so similar, because it is the same show, just with different cast members.
C'est la vie! We were disappointed to hear that the show is being cancelled, I hope it is just an elaborate publicity stunt, if any of the two shows should be cancelled this year is year three of the original Apprentice show, this years cast just isn't all that exciting, but that is our opinion.

Martha's male sidekick with the unlit ceegar really turns me off. Additionally,the tasks are not very interesting. The QVC show really was terrible and the wedding cake episode made me cringe with emabarassment. I've always liked Martha Stewart but feel that she made a misstep following in Trump's well-worn footsteps.

We in our household have not only enjoyed every moment of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, but we have, as usual, learned a great deal from Ms. Stewart via this program.
The lady is a class act and one of the best teachers I have ever been lucky enough to learn from. Just like on her other programs, she has a wealth of knowledge on business success to share with the american public. It really would be a crime to see this program not return next season. Please do not cancel this excellent piece of programming in an otherwise dismal selection of reality TV.
A large portion of the "american dream" is based on starting and running your own successful business, and no one else is as qualified to teach us how to competently complete this task. Thank you Martha Stewart!!

I hope that they will continue as I believe that these shows are very helpful to creative motivated individuals. I have really grown to love Martha's version. I think the original glitz of the Donald wasn't there, but after viewing the show week after week, it grows on you. It would be a dissapointment to end it now…give others a chance to try out.

Zhanjiang Featured Food:
Sweet Potato Cake
Sweet potato cake is a popular snack and a nice gift for friends in Zhanjiang. When making the food, people steam or boil the sweet potato first, peel off and mash up it. Then they mix some starch and hot water into the mashed sweet potato, knead the mixture into some thin flat round wrappers, and put in some stuffing of parched shredded coconut, sesame, peanuts with sugar and candied melon. After that, they put two or three pieces of jackfruit leaves and steam them.
This kind of snack is made by wrapping some stuffing of shredded coconut and white sugar in the pre-made wrapper made from sticky rice flour and steaming it over big fire. The snack tastes sweet, clear and smooth.
Hedi Fish Head Soup
Tourists should never miss the chance to go to Hedi Reservoir to taste the fresh fish head soup made from the variegated carp that grows in the reservoir. The carp head is big and has a lot of marrow. The carp head soup looks thick and white, and it tastes sweet, fresh and delicious and it doesn't have any unpleasant fishy smell. It is also said the soup can do good to one's brain and can prolong life.
Braised Oyster
Oyster is called "milk from the ocean", and those produced in Zhanjiang is not only delicious but also nutritious. The cooked oyster, a famous dish in Zhanjiang, tastes tender, fresh and delicious.
Stewed Beef Offal
The stewed beef offal is done with some traditional methods and has the natural flavor of the food. It is very delicious food.

OK, it's been a couple weeks and nobody's answered the question, so
I'll take a stab at it and follow up with some commentary on
vulnerability terminology in general.
Alberto Cozer (firstname.lastname@example.com) asked:
>I've been reading the last Microsoft advisories and one of the

There may be specific differences to some people, but these terms are
often used interchangeably, at least within the context of
vulnerabilities. More people use the term "buffer overflow,"
approximately 90% based on the Bugtraq archives.
"Buffer overrun" was used extensively in CERT/CC advisories from 1997
and earlier. CERT/CC probably made a conscious effort to use the
"overflow" term, but I'm not sure.
Sometimes, the same document uses both terms. For example, a quick
web search brought me to these documents:
CERT/CC advisory CA-98.10 includes quotes from different
organizations that use "overflow" or "overrun."
MS advisory MS00-079 uses both.
SGI advisory 19980404-01-I uses both, as do other SGI advisories.
@stake advisory a101200-2 uses both, as do other @stake advisories.
NetBSD Security Advisory 2001-018 uses both, as do other advisories.
Red Hat security advisory RHSA-2001:160-09 uses both.
NGSSoftware "NISR05032002A" has "overrun" in the title and
"overflow" in the text. This happens in other NGSSoftware documents
as well. The tendency seems to be to use overflow as a verb and
overrun as a noun.
The usage of "buffer overrun" appears to have declined over the years.
Perhaps someone with more historical perspective can explain why, but
the release of Aleph1's "Smashing the Stack for Fun and Profit" may
have played a part. There are other entities besides Microsoft and
NGSSoftware who still regularly use "buffer overrun," but none come to
The terms are interchangeable enough that the CVE search engine
automatically converts "buffer overrun" to "buffer overflow," and CVE
descriptions only use "buffer overflow." The ISS X-Force and
SecurityFocus databases also use "overflow" extensively, with only a
handful of occurrences of "overrun."
In general, there is a lack of clear terminology throughout the
vulnerability research community. For example, is it directory
traversal, directory transversal (with an "n"), or reverse directory
traversal, or dot-dot? To some people, "directory traversal" means
more than just ".." (consider C:file, %2e%2e encodings, or
/absolute/path/here). And if there's a difference between
authentication and authentification, I can't tell. "Remotely
exploitable" has a number of different meanings, where some people
mean "over the network without authentication" and others mean "over
the network with authentication" (Scott Blake and Adam Shostack
touched on this at a Black Hat conference a few years ago.) Just
recently, someone used the term "local" to mean "restricted to the
small network that I own." People refer to symbolic link
vulnerabilities as a race condition, although there can be other
factors such as directory permissions and insufficiently random file
The most vaguely defined term of all, however, is "vulnerability,"
because everybody has a different definition. CVE was originally
called "Common Vulnerability Enumeration" until we realized that we
couldn't get everybody to agree on what "vulnerability" really means.
The terminological warfare was serious enough that some people
threatened to withdraw support for the project. The end result was to
invent the "exposure" term, try to lay out some definitions for the
purposes of CVE *only*, and not force people to actually use those

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Thanks to a 75th-minute goal by freshman midfielder Randi DeLong, the Butler women's soccer team overcame George Washington 1-0 Friday afternoon, recording its 10th win of the season, the program's most since 2008. The Bulldogs, who extended their unbeaten streak to three matches with the win, entered the contest sitting in fifth place in the Atlantic 10.
DeLong's game-winning goal, the first score of her young career, came off an assist from sophomore forward Elise Kotsakis after 74 minutes of scoreless soccer. The assist was Kotsakis' second of the year.
Kotsakis beat two defenders on the left side before sending a cross to DeLong, who had gained solid positioning inside the box. DeLong then sent a booming kick into the right side of the net to beat George Washington freshman goalkeeper Nicole Fasano.
"DeLong has been solid for us all year," Butler head coach Tari St. John said following the win. "She's a freshman, but has the compsure of an upperclassman."
Junior goalkeeper Julie Burton (7-2-3) picked up her team-best fifth shutout of the season. The Bulldogs (10-4-4, 4-1-3) have recorded nine shutouts this year, most in the A-10.
"I credit the entire squad for the shutout," St. John said.
Individually, St. John noted the impressive play of Burton, defenders Kelly Mahoney and Anna Ventimiglia and midfielder Rachael Melendez.
"They make individual plays and are our team organizers," St. John said. "Once again, Melendez was a rock for us in midfield."
Butler outshot the Colonials (4-12-1, 0-8-0) in the match 10-6. Both teams attempted two corner kicks.
The Bulldogs will look to end its regular season on a positive note in a crucial match against Charlotte Sunday afternoon.
Entering the weekend, Butler trailed fourth-place Charlotte by a single point in the conference standings.
Sunday's match, the final regular season contest for the Bulldogs, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

Cape soccer loses to Appoquinimink 1-0 in state semifinals
The best team in the history of Cape Henlopen soccer lost 1-0 to Appoquinimink in the semifinals of the DIAA state tournament at Smyrna Nov. 13, because they didn't score a goal.
The game was scoreless rolling into the 78th minute of play. Cape had gotten the better of the midfield push but couldn't convert the few good looks they got on goal.
And then with overtime looming, a long ball from the midfield to the striker zone brought Cape goalie Griffin Kammerer away from the goal, sliding to make a save. Griffin saved the rebound, but the situation was dangerously unsettled. The ball was headed by a defender away from the Cape net back to the foot of striker Yusef Basma, who drove it home like a stake through the heart for a 1-0 Jaguars victory.
The Jaguars improved to 16-1 on the season and will face Salesianum in the state championship game at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 16.
Cape closes out the season was a record of 15-2 and will graduate nine seniors.
Cape outshot the Jaguars in the game 8-6, but goalie Chris Stilwell made three big saves to keep the zero on the board. It was the 12th shutout of the year for Appoquinimink.
The storyline for Cape was Kammerer, who saved a penalty kick in the first half at the 29-minute mark off the foot of Sam Jester. Sliding to his left and employing the you move-I move strategy, Kammerer then smothered the rebound. Kammerer was locked in all game, making several spectacular saves.
Cape got stellar midfield play from Billy Swontek, who missed the opening game of the playoffs because of four accumulated regular-season yellow cards. Cape overall played well against a great team in a big moment but just couldn't cash in on scoring opportunities.

The canned cranberry sauce.
The canned cranberry sauce.
Cranberry sauce... But jellied, not whole.
And crescent rolls. I can eat those all day.
I am actually not a fan of the turkey, never have.
I am a sucker for mashed potatoes, or better yet mashed turnip.
oh god you don't know what you are missing if you haven't eaten mashed turnip
corn casserole
most people overcook turkey like crazy, i never liked it till i cooked it myself.
mashed potatoes if they're good. stuffing otherwise, its hard to fuck up stuffing.
Everyone's turkey gets so dry. My mom's turkey is never dry so they obviously cooking it wrong.
how do you get it wet? soak it in petroleum jelly?
I'm partial to the mashed potatoes. The canned cranberry sauce is good too.
saran-wrap the juices in?
Cranberry is the way to go.

I'm not a Clydesdale, close, and at this rate I will be shortly.
Why am I gaining weight? I just started riding a bike. I ride 20 miles a day. My caloric intake is between 1400 and 1800 a day. Before bike riding I was eating 1400 a day and losing a little over 2 pounds a week, and 10 a month. My goal was to be down to 160 for September, which is where I want to be permanently. Before I got a bike I weighed in at 186, that was Sunday before my first bike ride. I have now rode my bike every day since then for 20 miles a day. I weighed myself this morning, before my bike ride, and I am 191.
Is my body just storing more water do you think? My diet has not changed, except for a few hundred more calories to make up for all the biking. I never see my weigh go up that much, and I've been losing for a number of months (started in January at 220).
I'm so concerned because I don't have clothes that fit me. I can make it through the summer like this, but I can't get through a school year without enough clothes, so my goal was to make due until I hit 160s and then buy clothes, because I just can't afford buying clothes that won't fit me down the road a few months.
I'm worried and seriously considering dropping the biking if this isn't rectified in the next week. I would have expected to be losing more weight, not gaining more weight with all this riding. 20 miles = 1100 calories.

Hotels in St. Julian's
The secluded
Mediterranean island of Malta may be becoming even more popular, but it is the
spectacular area of St. Julian's that promises a wealth of activities and
entertainment surrounded by pristine beaches and night time thrills.
St. Julian's, contemporary, daring and nestled between Sliema and Pembroke, boasts the island's largest concentration of hotels, and many of these occupy the prime location along the featured coastline, whilst others are nestled in amongst the winding, narrow streets; hidden gems out of site of the main roads and tourist areas.
One of the most renowned hotels to appear here in recent years is the Valentina Hotel, and this charming boutique hotel has seen several changes over the years; from a recent expansion and facelift to even a change in its street name. Located just a short distance from St. Julian's main nightlife hub; Paceville's central square, the Valentina Hotel comes with 94 contemporary guestrooms, all furnished in a modern contemporary style that exudes comfort and personality. This charming boutique hotel is one of the recent hotels in Malta to adopt the 'boutique' standards, encompassing luxurious interiors, one-of-a-kind service and comfort, all within the confines of a small and friendly hotel.
St. Julian's is brimming with leisure and night time activities for the abundance of tourists that populate the area, thanks in no small part to the wealth of hotels and accommodation in the area. Clubs and bars are within walking distance for those who want to enjoy some live music, house music, dancing and generally enjoy a great night out.
For those in search of a more refined and subdued evening, the nearby Spinola bay is a gentle downhill walk from the hotel, and offers some of the finest restaurants and bars that St. Julian's has to offer. All of these venues are located beside the beautiful bay, the promenade glittering with lights.
If going out is not for you, the Valentina Hotel itself offers plenty to its guests, from a stylish new martini bar and Terazza featuring a glass finished bar with LED lighting that backs out onto the beautiful terrace. One can enjoy a fine glass of wine or a speciality cocktail whilst enjoying the quiet of the hotel lobby. A rooftop pool is also located on the sixth floor of the hotel, complete with bar, sundeck and terrace (open between April and October).
Boutique hotels in St. Julian's are increasing popular because they create a highly unique accommodation experience. The youthful and elegant ambience of the hotel and its surrounding area are attractive to young urban travellers and frequent business travellers who prefer a change of scenery from the typical hotel experience. Amenities and features are designed with these people in mind.
Boutique hotels in St. Julian's provide a world of their own, where modern and traditional collide and where guests can feel truly special. Only boutique hotels can offer originality, distinction and flair in a unique and memorable hotel experience.

Cranford Nix
"Well she invited me back to her house. She said she might have AIDS.
I said I really dont care. And she poured me some lemonade."
- Cranford Nix, 'I Met A Girl At NA'
His song Cigarettes and Heroin(remove parentheses from links):
Here is an artist that I'm sure most of you would enjoy listening to, or at least reading about. So Cranford Nix was this relatively unknown punk artist from the 80's and 90's. Born on January 17th, 1969 in Detroit Michigan, and raised in Berkeley, Michigan. He grew up in a musical family. His father was Cranford Nix Sr., a famous banjo player in the bluegrass world. In fact, he was known as the "Worlds Greatest 10 String Banjo Picker" attributed to his double neck Gibson banjo(supposedly the only in creation). He took guitar lessons and learned to read sheet music, and loved listening to Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats. Phineas Smith, his son, recounted a tale of his father meeting Brian backstage one night after a gig, where Cranford actually weirded out Brian with his knowledge about him. Other influences were Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Thunders, and Eddie Cochran. He created quite a few bands of his own, The Bedlam Bastards, The Leather Gypsies, Mars Needs Women, The Malakas, and a few more. He usually played at bars and other cheap venues, quite often drawing large crowds. His band mate Tim Steffes even recalled he would walk into bars unannounced and demand to be allowed to play with the promise of attracting huge crowds(which he most often fulfilled). Friends would describe him to be 'funny, loving, and a great person to be around'. And an overall great guy. Lyrics to his songs often related to real life stories(which there were no shortage of). Mental wards, slitting your wrists, teenage prostitutes with STDs, cigarettes, heroin, suicide, spiders, and much more. One could say he was a walking story book, but a book that had been dropped in piss, covered in odd tattoos, and locked in a dark room a few too many times. His musical career started when he was just 17, playing on the streets in Hollywood. He drove there in his '72 Cadillac where he lived off of peanut butter, stolen candy bars, and cigarette butts. All while sleeping in the back seat of his car. He believed to be a great musician, he had to be initiated. And by initiated, he meant, dabbling in drugs and becoming "frazzled". Heroin, speed, meth, and pot were his poisons. He would waste his all of his money simply to get his daily high. At one point, even selling his friends golden tooth for six dollars in hopes of buying his next high. Rehab was often his home, attempting to get himself clean. It failed several times, but he tried and tried again. Finally, he managed to get himself clean and kept himself so for a long time. His music flourished and life seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, it would not be so, on March 12, 2002, he died of an apparent drug overdose in his apartment. He left behind a legacy of great music and great memories for all that knew him. His music is often described as "bar music" or even "acoustic Nirvana" by some. Find out for yourself and try some of his music. If you enjoy it, you can download all of his music for free on his website thanks to his generous family. RIP Cranford 1969 - 2002

By generous family, I'm referring to his sons, who are in charge of his music and it's distribution. He didn't have much to do with his children while they were growing up to my knowledge. He also wasn't around home much. Lived in various places around the country.

Meridian, Miss. The push continues by supporters of an initiative to fully fund public education in the state of Mississippi.
Jackson attorney, Jim Keith, spoke to the Meridian Rotary Club on behalf of the Better Schools Better Jobs ballot initiative.
The initiative, if it's passed by voters, would change the constitutional mandate when it comes to funding public education.
Keith says this is the most important issue since the Education Reform Act of 1982.
"We're not telling the legislature how much money to put into it," said Keith. "We're simply telling the legislature that whatever you put into our system, it must be an adequate and efficient system of public education. It does not take away the legislative authority from the legislature."
Rotary members were given the opportunity to sign a petition to put the initiative to a vote in November 2015.

At least 9 cars have been vandalized at Gilbert apartment complex
GILBERT, AZ - People living at a Gilbert apartment complex have become victims of at least nine vehicle burglaries, according to Gilbert police.
Most of the vehicles that were vandalized and broken into at the complex, located near Recker and Warner roads, were left unlocked but a few had busted windows and tires slashed.
The thieves, described as two or three juveniles ages 16 or 17, rummage through the cars and take items of value, police said.
A resident of the complex and victim of the crimes says she saw the suspects running from the scene but could not get them to stop, according to officials.
One resident claims that incidents like this happen a lot in the area.
"I'd say they're cowards," said Ronald Fry. All four of his car's tires were slashed.
"I mean really, to come and do something like this to somebody who's innocent. Karma is something I believe in. It's gonna come around some day," he said.

Citi Driver's Edge Credit Card
Posted By Jim On 07/01/2005 @ 10:08 am In Credit | 3 Comments
I've read lots of rave reviews about Citi Driver's Edge Platinum Select card but never really gave it serious thought because of the restriction that you must spend the money on auto related charges. Then I saw that they're now offering 6%, highest I've seen, on purchases at gas stations and grocery stores for 12 months ($600 cap, instead of $500), after which it drops down to a standard 1%. I've aggregated some of the thoughts other bloggers have had on it and wanted to get your opinion as well.
One of the pluses of owning a Citi card is that they offer you their Credit Protector Program, which, for diligent folks, means an easy $15 or so. I was able to get $250 in benefits for myself and my girlfriend in the form of two $100 gas certificates and five $10 giftcards. One thing to realize is that this is a pullback from their once almighty 5% off everything, as many of noted, but it's still good. So to recap, they used to be 5% everything, then 5% groceries and gas, and then now 6% groceries and gas for a year.
It sounds like the redemption program for this card is pretty hassle-free. While the best is to get a check in the mail, Five Cent Nickel's experience of simply faxing a receipt [3] worked wonders. For 6% back on skyrocketing gas prices, I'll fax in a receipt for car service for 6%. Finally, one thing I didn't see on the offer but Nickel did mention was a program in which you get points for driving. He says that all you do is register a car, send in periodic service notices (oil changes) where your mileage is noted, and you get a point per 100 miles. I don't know if this applies to this card but it sounds pretty sweet.
If nothing else, this card also offers a 0% Balance Transfer for 12 months (though that pretty standard nowadays too).
Citi has some of the most generous credit card offers out there and they're usually very good about paying out. You won't get the run around or have to jump through hoops, as Nickel explains in his posts. With rising gas prices, I think this 6% card is solid but I'm hesitant in that it's only active for a year when there are 5% cash back cards (without the faxing in of a form) available where the cash back percentage is high (> 1%) indefinitely. Thoughts? Criticisms?

Scalable and comprehensive testing of mobile apps is extremely challenging. Every test input needs to be run with a variety of contexts, such as: device heterogeneity, wireless network speeds, locations, and unpredictable sensor inputs. The range of values for each context, e.g. location, can be very large. In this paper we present Caiipa, a cloud service for testing apps over an expanded mobile context space in a scalable way. It incorporates key techniques to make app testing more tractable, including a context test space prioritizer to quickly discover failure scenarios for each app. We have implemented Caiipa on a cluster of VMs and real devices that can each emulate various combinations of contexts for tablet and phone apps. We evaluate Caiipa by testing 265 commercially available mobile apps based on a comprehensive library of real-world conditions. Our results show that Caiipa leads to improvements of 11.1x and 8.4x in the number of crashes and performance bugs discovered compared to conventional UI-based automation (i.e., monkey-testing).}, author = {Chieh-Jan Mike Liang and Nicholas D.

Moore on Pricing: What is the shipper's role in driver safety?
March 01, 2014
In a recent speech to shippers and carriers, Anne Ferro, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), said: "We need a real change in our transportation culture to recognize that safety means more than complying with safety rules. It means changing work/rest schedules that contribute to fatigue."
In Ferro's crosshairs—after driver hours-of-service (HOS) rules and electronic logs—is clearly the question of who is responsible for driver delays and the associated fatigue.
As I've discussed several times in this column, the shipper needs to ensure that they're not holding drivers at the origin or destination—or contributing to fatigue by forcing the driver to stand around while they're loaded or unloaded.
Those issues, says Ferro, are driving the FMCSA toward research "that allows us to better understand the correlation between driver detention and safety outcomes and driver compensation and safety outcomes." She adds that the FMCSA completed the first phase of its driver detention study and will issue a report soon.
I continue to see bad practices at loading docks and receiving stations at shippers and receivers—apparently so does Ferro and the FMCSA.
Driver detention costs the trucking industry as much as $4 billion a year in lost productivity, according to a 2009 study that was conducted by the Department of Transportation. Drivers measure lost productivity based on the hours spent waiting for trailers to be loaded or unloaded, the lost miles they could have been hauling with freight while waiting, and the money they're not earning while waiting at a customer's site.
This lost productivity time has always been a matter of contention between shippers and carriers. Many contracts allow for up to two hours of "free time," while some older tariffs and contracts show up to four hours.
In driver meetings, carrier management often hears frustrating stories of long waits despite appointment times, an issue that's likely a contributing factor in driver turnover. In fact, I remember finding a 10-foot circle drawn on the floor of a warehouse and being told that this is where the driver stands while his trailer is loaded—there was no chair or even a post to lean on. This is an extreme example, but one I've never forgotten.
Many industry colleagues draw attention to Ferro's recent statement: "We're preparing the groundwork for phase two of that detention study that will look more closely at the safety and operational impacts of detention time." I believe that this broader look at detention will undoubtedly include the shipper's role.
Shippers have for too long pushed the responsibility of driver safety and productivity solely onto carriers. Shippers already pay dearly in higher rates for driver delays and are possibly going to find themselves regulated in their operations.
The answer resides in a more proactive approach.
Shippers and receivers have options for shortening driver down time, and this needs to be a priority in re-engineering warehouse operations. A candid conversation between operations professionals at the shipper and carrier can reveal where costs are most affecting rates as well as the root causes of driver fatigue under their control.
The bottom line is simple: Improving driver safety as well as the opportunities to drive more will have the side benefit of reducing accidents and driver turnover—and perhaps attract more drivers to the industry.

Inquiry on SIN-SFO international to domestic SFO-DEN flightMay 30, 20160Hope someone could advise if a 2h35min connection time is sufficient from catching a flight change from international to domestic transfer - I plan on flying in from Singapore to SFO( reservations all made under United), and then catching a domestic transfer to Denver,CO. Additionally, I am not clear which terminal I would be taking to depart to Denver but would you say that all domestic terminals are within walking distance from the international terminal? Do I have to go through any customs after landing from my SIN-SFO flight to get to my connecting one to DEN? Are there any additional information i should be aware of? Thank you in advance for anyone who can help ! :)Elle88Mon, May 30
LAS to SFO to AUKMay 29, 20161I'm flying from LAS to SFO on United Airlines, and arrive at SFO at 8:22 pm. I have a flight from SFO to AUK on Air New Zealand that departs SFO at 9:45 pm. That's an hour and twenty minutes in between. I'm under the impression that I won't need to re-check my luggage or go through customs at SFO, and that it'll be fine. But it's worth double-checking, because if I need to do something about it, I have time to sort it out if I start now.DScheallerSat, May 28

Enough Time ?May 26, 20160Hi, my wife and I are travelling from Auckland New Zealand on flight NZ 8 arriving at SFO at 12:50. We then transfer to Lufthansa flight LH 455 departing at 15:05 to fly to Frankfurt , giving us 2hrs and 15 mins at SFO. Both our tickets will be on the same reservation (Star Alliance) and our bags will be checked right through to Frankfurt. We also expect to be issued with our boarding passes for both flights in NZ.. Do we have enough time to get through immigration, security etc and not miss our 2nd flight?DaveOThu, May 26

I'm scheduled to arrive SFO from ORD at 9:43am and I'm guessing it's gonna be T3. My flight to KIX departs from the International Terminal at 11:35am. Would this be sufficient time? Will I have to go through security again? And how long is the walk from T3 to the International Terminal? I will be travelling with a 3 yr old. Any information is appreciated. Thank you in advance.LilyWed, May 25There is a walkway connecting T3 and concourse G of the International Terminal where you will depart inside security.

Official Minimum Connect TimeMay 23, 20161Dear SFO, I am doing some research for an article that I'm writing on the topic of airline connections. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions and a comment. (1) Question. Is there an "official" minimum connect time (MCT) for international-to-domestic transfers at SFO? A representative of United Airlines told me that the official connect time for this type of flight at SFO is 90 minutes. Is that correct? (2) Question. If there is an official MCT, how do SFO and other airports inform the airlines about the MCTs? Is this information officially communicated through the publications of the International Air Transport Association (IATA)? Are airlines required to follow the MCTs, or can they ignore them if they want? (3) Comment. It looks as though the most popular topic on this SFO forum is "SFO Gate connections." I have read through many of your responses, and I don't see any response where you have mentioned an important fact that affects international-to-domestic transfers at SFO: the 45-minute minimum window. When an international passenger arrives at SFO, she must of course clear Immigration and Customs first. However, once she clears Customs, she must have a minimum of 45 minutes left before she can recheck her baggage for her next flight. If she does not meet the 45-minute minimum, she has missed her flight. For example, consider this schedule that was offered by UA for ICN to IAD in 2012 (my Korean girlfriend and I took this schedule): ICN to SFO UA #892 Lv ICN 6:15 pm, Ar SFO 11:24 am "connect time in SFO is 1hr 34 min" SFO to IAD UA #847 Lv SFO 12:58 pm Ar IAD 9:04 pm (This schedule is no longer offered, but UA offers other schedules that are similar.) In this illustration, according to UA, the connect time is 94 minutes. Actually, that's very misleading. The real connect time is only 49 minutes when you consider that the passenger must meet the 45-minute minimum before rechecking baggage for the connecting flight. In fact, the real connect time is actually completely unreasonable, especially when you consider that it can take 12-15 minutes for a passenger sitting in the back of the plane to get off a full plane and arrive at Immigration check. Also, according to Customs and Border Protection, it takes a passenger, on average, about 25 minutes to 60 minutes clear Immigration/Customs. (First/business class passengers clear in less time because they are at the head of the line.) When all factors are considered, the UA flight schedule is completely unfeasible for anyone sitting in the back 1/3 to 1/2 of the plane. I have firsthand experience of this type of problem when my Korean girlfriend and I arrived in SFO on the above schedule. Even though we had about 42 minutes left after clearing Customs at SFO, we were told that we had "missed" our next flight. We were delayed 10 hours, and the only compensation we received from UA was a meal voucher. In my view, airlines should be prohibited from offering such unfeasible schedules. In the meantime, I think it would be very helpful if you would mention the 45-minute minimum window to international passengers who inquire about transit times at SFO. I would be very grateful if you could provide an answer to my two questions. Thank you in advance!IconoclastMon, May 23

"Since the logging era it has re-established itself to contiguous mature forest. A lot of wildlife depend on that habitat for breeding." Within the past six years, however, the rapid expansion of Marcellus Shale drilling has been breaking up the block.

SYDNEY, March 11. IN one of the largest single sponsorship deals ever in swimming, Speedo will support Swimming Australia to the tune of $790,000 ($1 million, Australian) a year for the next six years, with an option to extend for a further six years.
Speedo also entered into a new private deal with Grant Hackett, the double Olympic 1,500 meter freestyle champion and world record holder, but will not be able to promote its products through Ian Thorpe. The Thorpedo has long been contracted to adidas.
It is not something that Speedo will have to worry about this summer, with Thorpe having announced that he will not compete at the World Championships in Montreal in July. In his absence, Hackett, who signed a new deal with Speedo beyond national team support yesterday, is aiming to become the first man to win all three distance freestyle titles – over 400, 800 and 1,500 meters. America's Larsen Jensen and Britain's David Davies should mount strong challenges to the king.
"We have to understand regardless of Ian being there or not, there is going to be stiff opposition and it should not take away from any person's win," Hackett said.
"Ian will be sadly missed. Certainly getting up and racing Ian at any meet has been a lot of fun for me and an experience I have become accustomed to over the past few years."
On the Speedo deal, Hackett said: "I hope this will give the Australian team more exposure globally so we can continue to inspire kids, not only in Australia, but from around from the world to take up the sport and become the champions of the future.
Speedo is to develop a new and contemporary look for the Australian team in time for the World Championships in Montreal in July. The Australian team for the world championships will be announced on the final night of the trials which run from March 12-19 at the Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre.

For Steve Sarkisian, breaking up was a multimillion-dollar decision.
Aside from the millions USC likely dangled to lure him back to Los Angeles, Sarkisian's decision Monday to bolt from the University of Washington won't come cheaply.
Sarkisian's contract with the UW states that if he leaves before the end of his third contract year — Jan. 31, 2014 — he or a third party "shall pay the University $1,500,000."
And, because he's leaving to coach at "another NCAA institution," the contract requires Sarkisian to pay up within 30 days.

The UW athletic department issued a statement Monday saying Sarkisian, who USC formally introduced as its head coach, would cease employment immediately.
That means Sarkisian won't coach the Huskies in their coming bowl game — an absence that also could cost him a $150,000 bonus.
His contract says the UW agreed to pay Sarkisian that incentive "in the event the Team plays in a Non BCS bowl game …" The deal adds Sarkisian would be paid "one (1) month after the bowl game is played."
The 8-4 Huskies are projected to draw a bowl bid, but invitations have yet to be extended. Sarkisian's contract also stipulates the UW isn't liable for paying Sarkisian any money after he breaks his contract, "except all compensation earned prior to the date of breach."
UW athletics spokesman Carter Henderson didn't know if Sarkisian would get the bowl bonus or not.
More penalty money would come to the UW
if Sarkisian takes defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox and defensive line coach Tosh Lupoi with him, as some reports suggest.
Wilcox, the UW's highest-paid assistant, earning $800,000 guaranteed this season, would be on the hook for $1 million, according to his contract. That penalty is triggered only if Wilcox leaves early "to take a position at another Pac 12 school, with the exception of Head Coach."
Meantime, Lupoi would be penalized about $410,000 — about the sum guaranteed to him through February 2015, when his contract expires. His penalty kicks in if he leaves for a non-head coach or defensive coordinator job.
Both assistants also could lose $5,000 apiece "for participation in" a non-BCS bowl game, contracts show.
It's not uncommon for universities that lure coaches from other schools to pay the breach-of-contract penalties. In 2012, when the UW hired assistant Peter Sirmon from Tennessee, it promised to make a $75,000 payment to Tennessee on Sirmon's behalf — so long as he fulfills a 2.5-year term at Washington.
Sarkisian's latest pact with the UW was to run through Jan. 31, 2016, and guaranteed to pay him at least $2.8 million next season.
That reportedly made Sarkisian the Pac 12's highest-paid active football coach. Only USC's last coach, Lane Kiffin, earned more than Sarkisian in 2012. When USC fired Kiffin earlier this year, Sarkisian ascended to the top of the pay list, based on figures reported by USA Today this year.
Sarkisian also was the highest paid coach in UW history, most recently earning guaranteed pay about double the $1.4 million received by his predecessor, Tyrone Willingham.
The last time UW split with a head football coach, the school paid contractual penalties of its own. After parting ways early with Willingham in 2008, the school paid him $2.8 million, including a $1 million buyout payment.

Rice basmati prices firmed by Rs 100 per quintal on the wholesale grains market today on stockists buying against restricted arrivals from producing region.
However, other grains moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said, stockists buying against restricted arrivals from producing regions mainly led to rise in basmati prices.
In the national capital, rice basmati common and Pusa-1121 rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 6,700-7,000 and Rs 6,100-6,800 per quintal respectively.
Following are today's quotations per quintal: Wheat MP (deshi) 2,050-2,250, Wheat dara (for mills) 1,560-1,565, Chakki atta (delivery) 1,565-1,570, Atta Rajdhani

Semiconductor technology has a role to play in validating the authenticity of ingredients in what we eat. ?One of the most useful techniques available to detect the presence of unwanted substances in any number of daily items, for example, is the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Sometimes referred to as high pressure LC, it uses an established scientific technique of separating particles held in small samples across a spectrum to determine the composite elements of a substance suspended in a liquid. It is a technique used not only in toxicology but wherever chemicals are found, such as the food industry, agriculture and environmental control.
Agilent Technologies has been supplying HPLC systems since 1984. These are machines that include not only electronics but valves, pumps and heaters.
As the technologies developed, the range of applications that could make use of HPLC grew and with that came a demand for greater performance in terms of accuracy and speed of results.
Current HPLC instrument module design employs a PowerPC processor coupled to an FPGA, but for the next generation design, called Fusion, the platform will be based on the Zynq programmable system-on-chip (SoC) device from Xilinx. ?The Zynq-7000 platform is a development of the traditional FPGA format which tightly couples hardware circuit elements with the FPGA fabric and a dual-core ARM processor sub-system.
?The decision to use the Zynq was made to allow as much design reuse as possible. Both the firmware and the VHDL code used in the Nucleus range can be ported to the Zynq-7000 platform. The design team will develop new modules initially, but over time it will also work at replacing old modules with a single, common architecture.
It can take up to three years to fully develop a module for HPLC instrumentation, so any design reuse that can be achieved will be critical. ?The Nucleus family of modules employed a PowerPC processor, while the Zynq-7000 platform uses the ARM Cortex-A9. Porting the software will make use of the use of ENEA's operating system, OSE.
Porting any software application from a single core to a multicore platform can make sense but in order get the best from the platform it is important to understand how the software will make use of it. ?ENEA's real-time operating system, OSE, is now 'multicore aware' and to help with the process ENEA has developed a Multicore Migration Platform.
Instinctively most software is written to execute linearly; the programming language C doesn't inherently support parallelisation, so when moving to a multicore platform it is important to understand the different approaches possible. ?
Specifically, these are symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) and asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP). In general terms, the former assumes the operating system will run on one core and the application software will be free to run on whichever core has most availability at any given time, while an AMP approach often assumes each core will have an instantiation of the operating system running on it and that the application will be 'hard-partitioned' such that specific functions are 'tied' to run on a specific core. ?
Where multiple processors are being replaced with a single multicore processor, AMP may be the most appropriate approach.
Where a single core is being replaced with a multicore device, as in the case with Agilent's HPLC modules, then SMP may seem like the right solution.
In practice, however, the correct solution will also depend heavily on the software; where there exists a high degree of parallelisation in the code an AMP approach may be better than SMP, but for code with a large number of interdependencies the best solution could be SMP.
Another consideration is the use and distribution of shared resources in the multicore platform, such as memory. This can have an effect on which approach is better suited to a given application.
In many cases the best approach will be to employ a hypervisor; a software layer that provides abstraction between the operating system and the underlying hardware architecture. This allows the application software to 'believe' it is running on a single core, when in reality the hypervisor decides what runs on which core, by closely monitoring and controlling the available resources.
It is important to identify and deal with shared resources, how and where to partition code and how to use the load balancing framework built in to the multicore version of OSE.
A key requirement of Agilent's design team is that the hardware platform they develop will not only support all the different modules produced today but have the ability to grow as the demand for more features and performance in the HPLC instruments increases over the next 10 years.

When you are dealing with two five-game losing streaks over a course of a month, and are still attempting to make one last gasp at a deep playoff run, trade season tends to gets going a little bit early. As currently composed, the C's are a team that is struggling mightily yet again to put the ball in the basket first and foremost.
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are dealing with slight, but expected declines in their offensive games, and the team's revamped supporting cast is failing to provide any consistent support, especially from the 3-point line, where the C's now rank 27th (33%) in the NBA. With the season potentially starting to slip away, Marc Stein of ESPN.com informs us the Celtics are taking a hard look at probably the best shooter on the trade block.
Hearing Celts, even before season-worst 7-for-32 shooting from 15+ feet in NYK loss, have ramped up their interest in Magic's J.J. Redick
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) January 25, 2013
Size obviously Celts' priority if they do deal before Feb. 21 trade deadline but word is they hope to work way into Redick mix if they can
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) January 25, 2013
The Celtics' interest in Redick should come as no surprise. He's having a career year shooting 45.8 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from downtown and posting a 14.7 points per game despite lacking a strong supporting cast in Orlando. He also is in the final year of his contract, making a reasonable $6.2 million. Of course the C's would love to have him.
The bigger question remains though. Is there any possible way the C's can trade for Redick, without having to give up their main "tradable" assets in Avery Bradley or Jared Sullinger?
The short answer is highly unlikely, unless the C's are willing to take back some excess baggage from the Magic along with J.J or deal away their own draft picks, two things Danny Ainge has been very leery of doing in the past. The C's situation right now is pretty dire though when it comes to trades. They are straddling a $74 million hard tax, making big deals challenging. All of their players that are struggling (Brandon Bass, Jeff Green, Jason Terry) are on varying levels of unattractive long-term deals for most other teams around the league.
Courtney Lee's long-term deal is a bit more reasonable, but for a team like Orlando trying to rebuild, locking up Lee for $5 million+ for the next few years is not a sure investment, unless the C's are willing to include a pick to sweeten the deal. Even that might not be enough for Orlando, who already has Arron Afflalo locked up long-term
In all likelihood the Magic are going to ask for Bradley in any deal for Redick and the C's will say no, for understandable reasons. Danny could try to get creative and turn it into a multi-player deal, taking back some of Orlando's excess contracts (Al Harrington, Hedo Turkoglu, :gulp: Glen Davis?!?) while dealing away some of his own, but that's not an appealing option either. In all likelihood, depending on how strong the trade market is for Redick, Lee and a protected first round pick might be able to get it done but given how much the Celtics value their draft picks, that might be a tough deal to justify.
We'll have plenty of more time to break down the possibilities in the coming weeks, but for now, the C's really have no valuable trade chips outside of Sullinger, Bradley, Pierce (for a contender) and Rajon Rondo. If the C's want to make a run at it this year, they won't want to give up any of these pieces.
Finding an offer to satisfy a rebuilding and smart front office like Orlando's will be a tall task and there's no guarantee the C's are willing to part with the necessary pieces to get it done. Hoping the C's supporting cast is able to turn the corner and get back on track is probably the best (and smartest) thing Ainge can do for the time being. If the team drops any further below .500 though, it will become especially challenging to remain patient.

Miley Cyrus Headed for Her First #1 Hit; She Stops Following Fiance on Twitter
Getting naked in a music video really pays off. Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" is poised to become her first-ever #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Because Billboard now counts online streams -- such as the kind that result when you play a video repeatedly on YouTube -- in its chart data, Miley's "Wrecking Ball" has posted massive numbers since the video for the song was released last week. Billboard reports that when all is said and done, there could be as many as 30 to 45 million streams total.
On top of that, Billboard reports that the song is likely to sell around 400,000 downloads, which would also contribute to it knocking Katy Perry's "Roar" off of the top of the charts later this week.
If "Wrecking Ball" does debut at #1, it'll be Miley's first chart-topper; "Party in the U.S.A." and "We Can't Stop" both reached #2.
In other Miley news, it appears as though her relationship with fiance Liam Hemsworth is about to be wrecked. US Weekly magazine reports that she's stopped following him on Twitter. The mag also claims that Hemsworth has been seeing actress January Jones, but Jones' rep denies this. Still, an insider tells the magazine that Miley and Liam are "just weeks away from calling it off permanently," adding, "Liam feels very distant emotionally from Miley these days."

In the footsteps of Little Crow: a conversation with Curt Brown, Kate Parry and Iyekiyapiwin Darlene St. Clair
Event held Aug. 30 at the U of M's Nolte Center
August 23, 2012
A recent six-part series on the 150th anniversary of the U.S-Dakota War of 1862 that appeared in the Minneapolis Star Tribune is the subject of a conversation, hosted by the University of Minnesota, on Thursday, August 30.
The event, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7 p.m. in room 125 of the Nolte Center for Continuing Education, located at 315 Pillsbury Drive SE on the East Bank of the U of M Twin Cities campus.
Iyekiyapiwin Darlene St. Clair, a visiting associate professor with the U of M's Department of American Indian Studies, will join the author of the series, Curt Brown and Star Tribune assistant managing editor Kate Parry for this educational discussion.
The U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 and the 150 years since have left a lasting impact on the state of Minnesota, its non-Native citizens and the Dakota people.
For St. Clair, this series allows Minnesotans an opportunity to consider the war through Brown's study of Taoyateduta—Little Crow.
"A fuller understanding of this war is important because it served as a catalyst for the creation of the state we live in today, a homeland from which so many Dakota were forcibly exiled," St. Clair said. "Some obsess over the horrific events that occurred during six weeks in 1862, but there's little effort put into understanding the context for the war, prior to 1862, and the impact the war had from 1863 through 2012."
This conversation is also a chance to find out how Brown's year-long study for this series has shaped his thoughts on the war and it's impacts, said St. Clair, who is a member of the Lower Sioux Indian Community and teaches a class on Dakota culture and history.
For interviews with St. Clair, please contact Steve Henneberry, University News Service, email@example.com or 612-624-1690.
This event is sponsored by the University of Minnesota's Institute for Advanced Study and School of Journalism and Mass Communication, along with the Minnesota Journalism Center.
Parking is available at the Fourth Street ramp and in the Church Street garage.
