I agree with Brian !! There is no specific benchmark for the CPU usage. At present, you would be very much comfortable with the CPU usage as it would be around 20-25%. However, it would be great if you consider your future requirements as well.
Suppose if you are running VPN or SSH which needs encryption or if you are running the PIX as one of the core routers for OSPF then the CPU utilization could go high.
Another question is whether you really want to use PIX for OSPF i.e. using PIX as router rather than a FW. 6.3.3 is a great code but using PIX as FW and another router to do the job of routing is definitely worth a thought.
Brian Ford <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:
You're definitely OK for now. Seems like at worst you'll see 20-25% CPU
(10% base and 10% if you had 5 interfaces).
You probably want to try and test a number of use cases including DoS'ing
on of the less trusted interfaces or (and) establishing a couple of VPN or
SSH sessions to the PIX and watching what happens.
Chances are (without looking at your config or knowing how you use the PIX)
you'll probably spike up to 60% when bad things happen.

Ex-billionaire arrested for allegedly evading taxes in Japan
TOKYO - Tokyo prosecutors arrested on Tuesday Japanese real estate tycoon Genshiro Kawamoto on suspicion of dodging over 800 million yen ($8.5 million) in corporate tax.
Kawamoto, 81, was president of Tokyo Shoji, a real estate leasing firm liquidated in April last year, and is known for owning the "Marugen" multi-tenant buildings located in several locations including Tokyo's posh Ginza district.
Once named in the Forbes World's Billionaires list, Kawamoto has repeatedly told Kyodo News in the past that his action does not constitute tax evasion but tax savings. He is likely to give the same explanation to the prosecutors, investigative sources said.
Kawamoto was arrested for hiding about 2.9 billion yen in revenue for three years until December 2011, thus avoiding about 862 million yen in corporate tax.
Kawamoto's real estate firm, which was established in Ginza in 2009 but liquidated in April last year after transferring to Kitakyushu city, was managing revenue for the lease of about 30 buildings, the sources said.
Kawamoto owns many buildings for lease not only in Ginza but other popular shopping areas such as Fukuoka Prefecture's Nakasu district. During the asset-bubble period in the late 1980s, he owned many properties abroad including Hawaii.

Soil-Plant Spectral Diagnostics Laboratory
Transform provision of quality data and knowledge to inform better decision, making on land health management.
To advance cost effective, reliable, innovative high throughput methods and analytical services for targeting appropriate land management practices.
Core values
- Efficiency: This is cost effective speedy and voluminous work.
- Team work: This entails respect collaboration and support.
- Professionalism: This means having integrity and taking responsibility.
About the Lab
The Soil-Plant Spectral Diagnostics Laboratory builds on over ten years of development by World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) of infrared spectroscopy techniques for rapid soil and plant analysis and their application to large area surveillance of land health. The laboratory has recently extended its research on photon-based techniques to x-ray and laser applications for rapid prediction of soil functional properties. The laboratory serves as the main analytical centre for the Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) (www.AfricaSoils.net) as well as supporting an increasing number of land management projects in Africa.
The overall goals of Soil-Plant Spectral Diagnostics Lab are to:
- Develop soil-plant spectral analytical methods and diagnostic tools for rapid and reliable assessment of soil and plant health; and
- Demonstrate their application for evidence-based agroforestry and land management policy and practice in developing countries.
The objectives are to:
- Develop high-throughput spectral analytical methods requiring minimal use of sample preparation and chemicals.
- Apply spectral analytical techniques in decision support tools for diagnosis of soil and plant health problems in the tropics.
- Provide high quality spectral analytical services for the Globally Integrated African Soil Information Service (AfSIS) and other CGIAR research projects, including serving as a spectral reference laboratory.
- Strengthen national capacity in spectral diagnostic methods and their application for improved land management at technical, graduate and postgraduate levels.
Infrared spectroscopy methods in use span visible, near infrared and mid infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy. New techniques in progress in the spectral laboratory include soil particle size and aggregate stability analysis using laser diffraction spectroscopy; quantitative mineral composition using bench top x-ray diffraction spectroscopy; and total element composition using total x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
The spectral laboratory provides capacity building and advisory services to both developing and developed countries. For example, ICRAF's standard operating procedures were recently provided to the US National Soil Survey Center (NSSC) to set up a national soil mid-infrared spectroscopy system. ICRAF is also helping to design a soil monitoring system for the Global Agricultural Monitoring System being led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Conservation International.
There is growing demand for soil spectral analytical and calibration services, research and technical support, and capacity building as our soil health baselines become incorporated into an increasing number of sustainable land management projects and programmes. There is strong interest in climate change mitigation and adaptation projects in our protocols for measuring and monitoring soil carbon stocks in agricultural landscapes (http://www.unep.org/climatechange/carbon-benefits/). Conservation groups and other stakeholders are beginning to recognize that monitoring of soil health in landscapes is now feasible at low cost. Projects are also underway in partnership with the private sector to develop spectrally-based soil testing services to smallholder farmers.
Plans to scale out the soil spectral techniques across CGIAR centres have been incorporated into the CGIAR Research Programme 5 on Water, Land & Ecosystems, within which ICRAF leads the Information Systems Strategic Research Portfolio, and we are already receiving requests to help other CGIAR centres to set up satellite laboratories.
Future needs include development of global calibration libraries, capacity building in soil spectral methods and soil health surveillance across the tropics; development of lower cost and field-based spectral applications, and advancement of intelligent scientific work flows and digital mapping techniques that explicitly express uncertainties.
Africa Soil Spectroscopy Laboratory Network
World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) laboratory supports a network of infrared spectroscopy laboratories located in national institutions in Africa, currently: Cote D'Ivoire, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Tanzania. An online soil spectral prediction service will be launched shortly to support this network.

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is,
1 Thessalonians 4:3
Recently, I shared some information to help parents as they seek to raise children who value purity. Since this is an area where I think Christian parents can use all of the helpful info they can get their hands on, I'm continuing with the same theme again today. In the following video, Julie Lowe of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation provides wise and practical advice for talking to kids about sex.
3 Basic Guidelines:
- Talk often
- Talk freely
- Talk soon
In his book What the Bible Says about Parenting, John MacArthur addresses the dangers of ignoring the need to instruct children regarding sexuality and purity:
I know of one Christian parenting course that encourages moms and dads to avoid giving their children any kind of detailed instruction whatsoever about sexual matters, not only during childhood and adolescence, but up to and including the son or daughter's wedding night. The child's inevitable questions about anatomy and bodily development during puberty are supposed to be deflected with vague answers, making it clear that the very topic of sex is taboo…
That sort of isolationism is a recipe for disaster. It is a wholly unbiblical perspective. Sex is not portrayed in Scripture as inherently evil, nor is it treated as taboo. Sex outside of marriage is certainly sinful, but within marriage, the union of husband and wife is holy and honorable (Hebrews 13:4)…There is certainly no command or principle in Scripture that would make such matters off limits for parental instruction.
On the contrary, instructing children properly in such matters lies at the heart of the parents' responsibility. Abdicate this responsibility, and you practically insure that your children will be more influenced by the values and mores they learn from schoolteachers and peers. It is nearly impossible, and certainly a wrong-headed approach to parenting, to keep children totally isolated from all influences outside the family. So in all likelihood they will learn about these things from other sources, no matter how they have been sheltered. If the parents have declined to foster a godly knowledge of sex and human reproduction, the likelihood that the child will develop ungodly attitudes toward the subject are multiplied.

Today PlayStation 3 developer CaptainCPS-X has released a PS3 application called GamePKG v1.0 CEX (20121220) complete with source code and details below.
Download: PS3 GamePKG v1.0 CEX (20121220) / PS3 GamePKG v1.0 CEX (20121220) / PS3 GamePKG v1.0 CEX (20121220) / GamePKG v1.0 PS3 App Source Code / GIT
To quote: Hiyas everyone! Been working on gamePKG for some days on my free time, please check it out and let me know if it works for you, thanks. gamePKG is an application for the PS3 that allows the user to queue PKG files for later installation from the XMB "without restarting the PS3 at all".
NOTE: Source Code will be released very soon after I finish cleaning it up, etc. Maybe @deank can implement my application method of queuing PKG files into multiMAN. MS Visual Studio (C++) project / solution will be posted there later as well.
Finally, from the ReadMe File:
gamePKG [by CaptainCPS-X, 2012]
gamePKG is an application for the PS3 that allows the user to queue PKG files for later installation from the XMB "without restarting the PS3 at all".
Main objective of this application is to help users on Rogero CFW 4.30 (v2.03) to install PKGs without wasting much time.
NOTE: Source Code will be released very soon after I finish cleaning it up, etc.
Technical Info:
Tested on Rogero CFW 4.30 (v2.03)
Should work on 3.40+ CFW
The application will scan the following directories for PKG files:
- /dev_hdd0/pkg/
- /dev_hdd0/package/
- /dev_usb000/pkg/
- /dev_usb000/package/
- /dev_usb001/pkg/
- /dev_usb001/package/
- /dev_usb002/pkg/
- /dev_usb002/package/
- /dev_usb003/pkg/
- /dev_usb003/package/
The application handles big PKG files without problem, remember that these take some time to copy, make sure to have at least double the space on the HDD.
- The application doesn't support re-scaning devices for new PKG files (for now)
- The application doesn't verify HDD for previously queued files (for now)
- The application doesn't display a Progress bar (for now)
- The application doesn't support split PKG files (for now)
- The application doesn't support removing Queued PKG (for now)
- The application doesn't have any special GUI (don't know how to, sorry lol)
- Use UP and DOWN to select PKGs
- Press (X) to Queue the selected PKG
- Press (O) to Quit and return to XMB
- Initial "Test" Release
Thanks to
- aldostools - your ps3tools for windows are the best
- deank - multiMAN helped me research / debug my application
- fail0verfl0w, GeoHot, etc - for all you have done for the PS3 scene
- Anonymous - for releasing Sony SDKs
Thanks to anyone else I forgot that in some way contributed to the PS3 scene and as a result I was able to do this homebrew application.
Note for devs with the SDK ready to go, I forgot to mention that if you want to compile this use:
[Register or Login to view code]
After that I just use aldostools ps3tools shell extension "Convert to NPDRM" on "release/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN"
I got tired of trying to implement the NPDRM conversion on the Makefile, so I just do it like that lol.
Then to create the PKG just use:

More updates will keep coming as I get more free time, so stay tuned to the repository and this thread for updates
From deank: I just checked your git page and I can see that you don't fully understand the format of the .pdb files. Check my previous post with the source (I skinned it down only to the mandatory data).
Here is what I've learned so far: After the 4 byte initial header (zeroes) you have function blocks. Function number, length, length, data. You can see below. The only required functions are the following eight: 0x65, 0x68, 0x69, 0x6B, 0xCA, 0xCB, 0xCE and 0xD0.
In 0xCE and 0xD0 we use the same file-size so that it makes the file look as completely downloaded. Some other functions indicate the type of file (like PS3 pkg or additional content, etc, etc) but this is the required minimum to have the bubble appear.
[Register or Login to view code]
I hope this will help you with your gamePKG application.
v1.1 Changelog:
- Improved application performance by cleaning up, organizing and simplifying lot of code.
- Added scan of PKG files on root of USB devices as well (from "/dev_usb000/" to "/dev_usb003/")
- Copy of PKG files is faster now.
- Rewrote module to write the PDB & Icon files.
- Other source code improvements.

Remember the post about Yanni's "Climb for Clean Air" when she was getting ready to trek to the top of Mt. Rainier? You'll want to know what happened on July 22, the day of her ascent as part of a team for annual fundraising event of the American Lung Association®.
Start by imagining climbing up a steep snow trail when it's 32 degrees with 30-mile-an-hour winds boiling around you and visibility barely 10 feet. Oh, right—figure in the wind chill factor, which made the temperature below freezing. "I'm five-foot-three," she says, "and I felt like I was going to be blown off the trail by the gusts!" But none of this deterred Yanni from beginning the climb at 10AM with her team to reach Camp Muir.
You know about Yanni's passion for the outdoors and her determination to make it to the summit of Mt. Rainier—a second time. You'll also remember her challenges of lung disease and cancer. As fierce as her determination was to make it to the top, she couldn't overcome the day's damp cold that affected her lungs, adding pressure and making it harder and harder to breath. Wisely, she decided to stop her climb at 10,000 feet when the group arrived at Camp Muir so as not to endanger her teammates. "I was disappointed. I can't lie," she says. "But I encouraged my husband to go on."
Waiting for her team to return to Camp Muir turned into a magical experience. Three other climbers had to return with one of the guides before summiting. When they were settled, the guide asked if she wanted to "take a walk." Her instant answer was "yes," and they hiked over to Cathedral Rock, high above the clouds on the east side of Mt. Rainier. Midway, she learned her husband was coming back down and would meet her on the top of Cathedral Gap, somewhere around 10,900ft. Together again, they watched the sun climbing over a sea of clouds changing color from pink to orange to gold as the first sparkling rays etched the morning with light. "At that moment, I could have cared less about summiting," she says. "It was a magical experience and one I'd never have had if I was on a climbing schedule. Then, you can't stop or look around too long." (Read more about her climb here.)
After 30 hours without sleep and more than 53,000 steps, two-thirds of the 80,000 steps needed to reach the peak of Mt. Rainier, Yanni says, "It proves that if you put your heart and mind into something, nothing will stop you. And if I can inspire others to accept their limitations and work around them, I've also accomplished my goal." She plans another try next year for Mt. Rainier with the American Lung Association, and she's training to run a half-marathon this fall for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® in Portland, Oregon. (For more about this event, click here.)

25-GPU cluster will crack all 8-character Windows passwords in hours
Setting a minimum password length of eight characters is no longer an adequate defense against password crackers. A password-cracking expert has assembled a small computer cluster with 25 Radeon graphics cards and other off-the-shelf computer parts. The resulting cluster was apparently capable of 350 billion guesses per second needed to crack the NTLM password hashes used by Windows Server.
This astounding rate meant that it could use brute force to crack every possible eight-character password--including combinations of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols, in 5.5 hours or less.
As described by Ars Technica, the machine Linux-based GPU cluster runs on the Virtual OpenCL cluster platform to tap into the processing capabilities of the graphics card. A freely available GPU-optimized password-cracking suite called ocl-Hashcat Plus is used to perform the actual password cracking.
To be clear, the attack described above pertains only to "offline" attacks where hackers gain access to the encrypted password file and make off with a copy of it. A successful cracking attempt could conceivably allow them to recover the original password and access other systems that may be using the same password. Of course, a company that has its password database stolen obviously has many other things to worry about too.
Interestingly, I asked TechWatch readers for their opinion on the relevance of enforcing password complexity in my editorial titled "Striking a balance with passwords" just last week. The general consensus was that password complexity doesn't provide a good defense, and readers highlighted that the definition of a sufficiently complex password may vary widely.
For example, Mauricio Prinzlau responded via Google+ to note how an online backup service actually considered "123456" as a strong password. Overall, two-factor authentication was considered as the right direction to take on the authentication front.

Greetings, everyone!
I'm a self-proclaimed folding nut, certified bike mechanic (yes, there is such a thing) and occasional bike flipper.
I have at least six "serious" folding bikes in my stable: four Bike Fridays (two Pocket Rockets, one New World Tourist & one Air Glide); a Dahon Speed Pro TT, and a new Brompton M3L just purchased last week.
I left a lucrative job as a medical auditor at the tender age of one-half century...realizing I wouldn't find my bliss there. So now I flip the occasional bike for some pocket change, and eagerly await whatever's out there for me. I put away enough money in the auditing years to sustain me and the missus through the next chapter of my life.
A year before I left the auditor job, I became a certified wrench at Winterborne in Guelph, Ontario. Great learning experience, heartily recommended. Say hi to Alan and Jay if you stop by.
I believe in shorter intros, so I'll leave it at that.
Thanks for reading!

The Hangover 3 Parties Its Way Onto Blu-ray In October
By Jessica Rawden 2013-08-07 17:36:53 comments
As the Hangover franchise has become an international phenomenon, the budgets for the films have gotten much bigger. The original installment was created on a $35 million budget and crushed domestically, pulling in well over $277 million dollars in the States. The latest movie, on the other hand, was made on a $103 million dollar budget and only brought in $112 million domestically. The Hangover III may have done decently worldwide, but Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is likely looking to make up some money via the films Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download release, which will street on October 8.
Despite The Hangover III being a raunch comedy, the end of the three films was a little bit bittersweet for leads Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Bradley Cooper, who each became much bigger names in Hollywood thanks to the franchise. The third film tells a story about a gold heist that ends up getting the Wolfpack caught up with criminals and on the trail to find Chow (Ken Jeong) in Mexico and retrieve the lost currency. Alan (Galifianakis) is also dealing with his own personal problems, thus adding a little bit of seriousness to an otherwise joke-oriented film.
The setup of The Hangover films have always left plenty of room for sequels, but as less and less money is made for each film, the list of reasons to continue making new movies gets shorter. Im not sure the sequels ever were able to capture the sheer fun and exhilaration of the first film, even as the stories grew more expansive. Finishing off the films now rather than down the road allows all of the actors involved and director Todd Phillips to quit while they are ahead. This is the end, but thats a good thing.
If you are interested in owning a hard copy of the Wolfpacks last adventure, youll be able to choose between a Blu-ray combo pack and a 2-disc DVD special edition. Dont let the fact that Warner Bros. is calling it a special edition fool you. Both Blu-ray and DVD copies will come with the very same bonus features that include things like action mash-ups and secret editions. Since the flick is a comedy, the really good stuff should be the outtakes and the extended scenes, but youll have to decide for yourself. You can pre-order The Hangover III over at Amazon or check out the extras, below.

I don't write about it or even post about it because nobody wants to hear about that ****, but in a nutshell I mean points in the fight where very subtle changes which are hard to detect cause much larger shifts in the momentum of the fight. The ability to spot them represent sthe difference between a good boxing ****yst (not to mention trailer) and an average one.
As an example...a circling fighter with a moving style is circling to his own right 30% of the time for the first four rounds. His opponent has the kind of jab which is brilliant when he can get it working but can see him out-jabbed by the best jabbers he faces because of certain mental or physical limitations (think Oscar). Our man - doing the circling - is a speedster and was rellying upon that to keep him from the jab, but actually Oscar is landing it a fair bit. After four, his corner advices him to start circling to his right less, say 15% of the time. Now Oscar's jab is landing less and our speedster is making the angles on his own jab. That's an inflection point. Go deeper. The speedster decides that he's not going to circle to his right at all any more because he's having so much success. That's an inflection point because he's showing less variance and Oscar times him over the top with a right that dumps him in a round he was winning at a canter that he's now lost 10-8.
What evaporates an inflection point is "the puncher's chance." A good boxer controls a slugger with a series of well judged inflection points then gets wiped out for KO8. Inflection points are what make boxing deep - what makes it "chess."
In MMA there are many more "puncher's chances". Kicks. Knees. Punches. Take downs. Referee splitting. Submission. Locked guard. Etc. etc. After a take down new types of inflection points can develop BUT they are not reprasentative of an overall pattern because the two begin the following round in a different arena - on their feet.
In this sense, I think boxing can be regarded as literally deeper in terms of complexity (think chaos theory) if not in terms of technique. I believe this is also what MMA fans mean when they describe it as "more exciting". Less subtlty on offence, fewer terminals for evolution of the fight mean it is more likley to end suddenly and very violently.
Although on the flip-side, inflection points can open up the chances to land destructive punches.
Great post.
However, you are describing the very top level of skill in boxing. And at the equivalent level of skill in MMA, similar struggles and tactical considerations open up. I mean, if your primary skillset is a wrestler and you go for three takedowns against Cigano and he stuffs all of them, what next? What's your plan? You gonna go toe-to-toe and hope to lay him out with one strike? You gonna try the same thing again and again while he stuffs each takedown attempt easier than the last and punches the **** out of you while you fail to impose your gameplan on him?
Boxing at its highest level is art created in human movement. But then, at the highest level, that is true for virtually any sport.
And a LOT of boxing matches are sloppy, predictable, boring affairs. For every wrestler grinding out a decision with top control, there's a boxer keeping an outmatched, discouraged opponent on the end of a lazy jab and running the clock down.
It's pros and cons with MMA's small gloves and hard strikes from kicks and knees. Yeah it's an equalizer and a tiny mistake can cost a guy the fight. It can encourage a safety-first mindset for that reason. But it also allows for more shifts in momentum.
You are right in saying that there is great subtlety in boxing at the highest level.
But in the direct chess versus checkers comparison?
Checkers has only one type of piece. Boxing has only one type of attack.
Checkers pieces have very limited movements. Boxers have a very limited strike zone.
Chess pieces have a wide variety of movement options. MMA has a wide variety of combat disciplines.
In that comparison, boxing is checkers. MMA is chess.

6 secrets to a great long distance relationship
Traditionally long distance relationships have been unlikely to last beyond 6 months, but in the age of the internet, Skype and mobile phones they have more chance than ever of being successful. The challenges facing people engaged in a long-distance relationship are unique. It can take more careful planning, time and attention than a traditional relationship but if you are both committed to making it work there is no reason why it can't be just as fulfilling and satisfying as any other relationship. To give your long distance relationship the very best chance of success here are our top 6 secrets.
1. Creating clear parameters
Early on you both need to decide where you would both like this relationship to go. This will happen in a traditional relationship but there isn't the same urgency. If you are going to invest time and effort in keeping in contact; money travelling to visit each other and emotional energy in establishing a bond over a distance you want to know early on that you are both heading in the same direction. Are you going to give it 6 months of you both giving it your very best shot and then get together to review how it is going? Are you working towards living together one day? Do you know what level of commitment the other person wants from you and whether you can give it?
You don't need to make all these decisions straight away but you do need to both have the ability to say what you want and need and articulate how you are feeling as the relationship goes on.
2. Keeping regular contact
In order to make a long distance relationship work you need daily contact so that you become part of each other's daily lives. This is easier than it used to be with the internet and Skype – no more huge phone bills!
Talk on the phone or online; write emails; send love letters; Skype or instant message – it is all great for your developing relationship but even the most talkative of people might run out of things to say. Try doing things together – watch a film at the same time and then talk about it; play Scrabble, chess or some other online game; learn a language together and then practice your skills while planning a trip to that country – there are no end of things you can engage together in online which will give you plenty to talk about every day and deepen your bond and connection with each other.
3. Have face to face contact – as much as possible
Although you can develop a great virtual relationship it is really important that you set regular dates to meet up and see each other face to face. The physical contact of your partner is the glue that binds all the other things together – the smell of their skin; the touch of their hand; the kisses that say more than words ever could – it is vital to the success of the relationship that these meetings happen. When one visit has ended plan the next so you both have something to look forward to.
4. Develop trust
Trust is the cornerstone of all healthy and lasting relationships but it is particularly important when it comes to long distance relationships – there is so much distance between you it is easy to become insecure or unsure about your partner's commitment. This is why having clear parameters and daily contact is so important. It's unrealistic to think that you won't both get insecure at different times but if you are in daily contact you will be able to talk about how you are feeling rather than having days or weeks feeling unsure and insecure.
5. Nurture security
Feeling secure in a relationship comes from being really clear with each other about what is happening and where you are going. Firm plans, definite times arranged when you will meet online; a willingness to talk about the future and, most importantly, an agreement that if it isn't working you will tell each other – all of these things will create the security you need in order for your relationship to survive and thrive.
6. Have an attitude of gratitude
Many long distance relationships don't survive because the distance between them becomes a painful experience and when the couple talk it is about how awful it is that they can't be together, how much they miss each other and how difficult it all is. Watching your partner suffer emotional pain is horrible and will lead some people to conclude it is better to finish it rather than prolong the agony.
When you talk try to focus on what is great about your relationship and although it will be painful at times don't wallow in it or you might risk losing them altogether.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
A subpoena is just to provide evidence in a criminal investigation or civil suit. It does not mean that anything bad is going to happen to you. You just need to go to the court at the specified time and testify. If you do not, you can be held in contempt of court and be arrested, or if you leave the country, have a warrant put out for your arrest
It is important to remember that a subpoena is not an indication that the receiver has done anything wrong or broken any laws. A subpoena is simply a way of summoning a person who potentially has information about a case to court, so that the information they have can be admitted as testimony for use in determining a verdict in a particular case.
I Understand that but it against a friend and have been told that if am in the uk then generally they won't enforce it.
My main concern is that if enter the counrty before the trial will they landlock me, also if go at all until after the trial will they stop me from entering the states, if this happens will it affect my visa. i know I am only a witness but want them to use against my visa depending on what happens, the spplication is in now thanks
They might not enforce you, but they definitely could. It would be within the court's discretion. I'm not sure what you are referring to with "landlock." If you mean prevent you from leaving, if the court finds you in contempt for not showing up, they could arrest you and prevent you from leaving.
If a warrant is out for your arrest for contempt, then it will possibly prevent you from getting a visa.
so can they make me go back to the states for the trial as I have a lot of work on, legally if I then re-enter the states after the trial will I have a problem
If you fail to go back to the states for the trial, and they hold you in contempt of court, they can issue a warrant for your arrest. At that point, if they know of your location, they can ask the uk to extradite you to be arrested.
can i be called as a witness for prosection and defense or is it only one?
ok but can i be on both lists provided to the court

than designing.
I know a little story, and it is not
happy li ttl i story, you know th?
many, many true stories are not. Th:
is about a girl in a small town and
man, who told the little town girl
long time ago that she looked sweet<
in her pink muslin frock than tb
prettiest rose that blew in her sma
green-hedges garden.
The town girl entertained agues
from a near-by city. With all he
honest little heart, she wanted be
visitor to have a nice time. She wa
proud of the girl's accomplishments
and wonld sit by as quiet as a mous
and listen admiringly to the girr
bright chatter and wish that sh
1 'could feel so much at home arnon,
strange folk." All the- nicest mei
'. she knew were bidden to meet he
guest. Amoag them, of course, wa
the most desirable ''catch'' of th
town, the man who had told the li ttl
girl how much he admired and care*
for her. He sang with the visitin;
girl, and found it pleasant. He drov
with her, and never did time pas
more quickly. ? ?
Of course, the visiting girl was well
bred, and she did not deliberately ap
propriate the attentions that had al
ways been her friend's. At least shi
did not seem to. There was nothing
in fact, that her little hostess coule
define, and this is just the reason thai
before the visit was over the town gir
found herself wondering, after sh<
went to bed, why she felt so miserably
unhappy. It was a long, long tim
before she realized what had hap
The city girl went back home. The
particular man of this story missec
her, said so, and t .med once more tc
the little flower-like girl. But thingi
are not quite the same. I wonder ii
they ever can be, don't you?
If that visiting girl had not been s
flirt she would have taken pains /tc
keep somewhat in the backround; she
wonld not have been delighted to find
that she could outshine her friend anc
win from her her admirers. It is al
ways an unkind thing to show off one's
own wit and brilliancy to the hurt of
The flirty girl did not care in the
least for the men whose admiration she
had gained, but it delighted her foolish
little soul to find them flocking about
her to bid her good-by when the time
for going home had come, and I am
certain that as the train sped onward
she settled herself with quite a satis
fied air and smiled as she counted over
her victims. Perhaps her lips parted
One and it Receives
as she half whispered, "The foolish
fellows! I wonder if they thought I
cared.'' Not once did she think of
the possible heartaches that had come
to her girl friend. True, it had oc
curred to her that possibly she was a
bit jealous, but the girl with a dispo
sition to flirt never finds the jealousy
of another girl unpleasant. And alas
for the pride of the girl who lets it be
guessed by word or by deed that she
is! She may be told, you know, by
her rival, that it is her own fault if
she is not as much admired as she
wishes to be.
The recognized flirt is not the dan
gerous flirt. It is the one. like the
girl of my story, who brings men to
doubt the sincerity bf women and to
boldly declare that "all women are
flirts." The recognized flirt has a
j long list of admirers; all her women
friends know that she has and ex
pect her, to always add to the list,
even from among their friends. They
know that she will never do any seri
I ons harm, and so they do not object.
Beauty and winning ways cannot
hide the ugly little twist that is in
the character of either the man or
the woman ?irt. There may be a
charm and fascination that will lead
us to follow for a time, but it isn't
lasting, you may be sure. Sometimes
it is of long enough duration to lead
one on so far that life ever afterwards
hasn't that charm that it possesses
for those of us who have always found
human nature trustworthy.
My girl with the laughing eyes and
the smooth oval cheek, with the dainty
figure and fetching frocks, be glad
that you are so attractive that your
very presence gives pleasure, but
train your little heart to be faithful
and true. Do not after sipping the
sweets of admiration come to find your
pleasures'in counting over the con
quests you were able to make while
away from home for a long and happy
stay through the glowing days of sum
mer. The true and womanly woman
finds pleasure in the consciousness of
one true love, but never in^ the thought
of a host of lovers that have been
lightly won and may be just as lightly
It would not be fair, it would be de
cidedly unjust to say that all men are
false because one has not been true,
and it is just as unkind and certainly
as untrue to assert that all women are
flirts. But as I have said the love of
admiration being part and parcel of
woman's makeup, it is easy enough
for her to be led into little acts of
folly that will put her in danger of
I being called a flirt.
; Once it was the fashion for women
: to be thought weak and foolish. Now
j even men resent this. Men really ex
I peet great things of their women folk,
; whether wives, sisters, daughters or
sweethearts, and I think it is certainly
too bad when we disappoint them.
Once upon a time a woman might
have smiled and simpered and accepted
it as rather a compliment when she
was called a flirt, but the same is not
' true to-day. 0, man, we do not smile
indulgently when you say that all wo
men are flirts. We are quite willing
to admit that some may be. But for
their existence you must bear your
share of - the blame. You, you know,
are the moth which flutters about the
flame. MARGARET HANNIS.

Moral Force of Lan.
Under a government by the people
the laws are supposed to reflect public
sentiment quite accurately. A lax
law betokens a lax moral status, while
a high and noble law indicate good
moral fibre. A law that justifies evil,
or even tolerates it, reflects discredit
' upon the legislators that enacted it.
Legislators are supposed to be chosen
because of their intelligence, integrity
and sound moral character. The high
er the standard of the laws they enact
the nobler the honor reflected upon
their character. It is invariably true,
in America at least, that the enact
ment of vicious statutes brings a leg
islature into disrepute.
Laws should be educational as well
as corrective. They should exalt cor
rect ideals as well as to reflect just
convictions. Laws are made for evil
doers. They should be in advance of
average practice, and should represent
the best thought of the best olasses.
The law of God presents a fine illus
tration of this idea. It requires of
man the best conduct and thc best
moral condition of which he is capa
ble. No man can be better than the
divine law requires. It is a trans
cript of the divine mind, representing
God's wish concerning man's practice.
Wesley says the moral law is "an in
corruptible picture of the High and
Holy One that inhabiteth eternity.
It is the face of God unveiled * *
a copy of the eternal mind, a trans
cript of the divine nature." Every
time a man measures up in any degree
to thc requirements of that law he
helps to reflect the lofty thoughts of
the great law-giver. "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and thy neighbor as thyself "
is the picture God shows us of the
ideal man. It is a photograph of the
original sketch by the Master Artist
pf the most beautiful thing in the
universe-a creature reflecting the
noblest thought of the Creator.
The laws of men should be modeled
after the laws of God. They should
represent all that is pure, lovely and
of good report in the best society.
They should be stimulating to good as
well as corrective and repressive to
evil. The idea that no law should be
enacted which is higher than the pub
lic sentiment behind it is as reprehen
sible as the idea that all law should be
repealed which is not strictly enforc
ed. Both are parts of an evil whole.
The application of this principle to
the law of God would result in the
cancellation of' the entire code. Hap
pily, men of sound judgment do not
stoop to the serious consideration of
such a course. The apologists of
wrong-doing are the croakers who
croak for lenient statutes and who
seek to stain the honor .of high legal
ideals. Much of this sort of croak
ing has been heard :<:i relation to pro
hibitory laws, and unfortunately-it
has had mischievous effect in many
instances, resulting in the repeal of
wholesome laws and thc substitution
of measures which foster thc liquor
traflic with its lotig train of moral
Were the common adage, " You
cannot make men good by law," car
ried out to its logical sequence, every
precept of Jesus and every command
of Jehovah would be obliterated from
the sacred page. History shows that
men have been made good by law, and
and it is the purpose of every law
bearing upon human conduct to make
better citizens, better neighbors and
better men generally. Instead, there
fore, of lowering the law to the level
of vicious practice, v c should seek to
raise the practice to the high ideal of
the best legislation. The precepts of
the law arc these : "To live correctly,
to do an injury to none, and to render
every man his own." All law-abiding
people exemplify these precepts, and
law-breakers should be compelled to
do so. Hold up the law. Make it a
praise to the good and a terror to evil
doers. Enforce it to the utmost ex
tent possible, and show by educati mal
work in thc form of agitation and ex
planation, that further enforcement
would be for the best good of thc
greatest number.-Michigan Christ ian

small package lying on the floor of the
store. When he examined it he found
that it contained $105. On Sunday
afternoon Mrs. James Leonard, of

she had lost $105 and was sure that
it had been lost in Mr. Morris' store.
She described the money that Mr.
Brewster had found and identified it.
Mrs. Leonard said that when she
discovered her loss on Sunday she at
once went to her room and prayed that
it might be restored to her. She said
she knew that she had visited but
three stores, and so she wrote the
naines of the stores on three pieces of
paper and after praying she picked
out one of the slips of paper with her
eyes closed. The name of Mr. Morris'

gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was
devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen
wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift's Specific. I im

Donning pink suits that would make Elle Woods proud, an intern in my office was quickly given the nickname "Tinkerbell" for her ability to flutter all around the office and wear enough bright colors and flashy accessories that she was bound to leave a glitter trail behind her.
Aside from telling us how much she spent on her daily cab ride to Rayburn because she "just couldn't do the metro," the pièce de résistance was on the Congressman's birthday.
Thinking that because it was a birthday there therefore must be a party, planned by her, she proceeded to order five pizzas for the office telling all the LA's that (unbeknownst to the Chief of Staff) there would be a birthday party in the Chief of Staff's office at lunchtime. The pizzas arrived and as we all (too late) lunged after her, she threw open the door to the Congressman's office without even a knock, open pizza box in hand, loudly announcing "Happy Birthday! We're having a pizza party in [Chief of Staff's] office!!" To which the Congressman replied (after a moment of awkward silence) something along the lines of "Oh, wow, well I think you'll have to do that without me."
