Happy with product. Exactly what I ordered.Read More
Kind of cheap, designed peeled offRead More
Liked my other phone case that I got from overstock much better. Didn't really feel like too much rubber. More like hard plastic.Read More
This is a half shell type case that snaps securely over the back of the phone. All the port cut outs are precisely cut to fit around the camera lense and buttons. Nice looking and functional, I like it.Read More
I love the falling stars design I picked out & it fits the iphone 4 great.Read More
I really liked this cover when i first got it but after a couple of weeks it looked dirty and the pattern started chipping off. Ive only had it 4 months and the pattern is half gone plus dirt gets in between the case and my iphone. I wont buy another cover like this one.Read More
Not bad for the price, but I'm glad I bought a few other covers because I probably won't use this one.Read More
I purchased mine over a year ago and it's held up to lots of bumps here and there. The quality is awesome! I'm here to buy more.Read More
No where near as good as all rubbers models I have. Was expected all rubber, will be hard to get on and off Just not what I expected maybe my fault for thinking there would be more rubber than receivedRead More
Since I ordered 2 of these covers, I was not anticipating the thickness of them to be different. The very right one on the first row is the thickness I was looking for. The first one on the second row was not.Read More

Whether or not it will work with backtrack you can find for yourself, I'm not sure if its been updated but the wiki is a great place to start. As for posts locked and missing its because they don't apply to the current version and therefore do not need to be seen

Chefs' Secrets: Duck fat boosts flavor of Fig Tree's potatoes
Updated 1:25 am, Saturday, May 19, 2012
Dear Pat: My husband and I love to steal away to Fig Tree for a romantic dinner away from our five kids. We don't often get to go out for dinner, and when the opportunity arises, we head downtown to Fig Tree. The food is wonderful, the service impeccable, and the setting is so special, particularly when you sit outside and overlook the River Walk. The last time we were there, we had a side dish of the most marvelous roasted potatoes, and I would love to know how they make them. My roasted potatoes never taste like that! There must be some secret, and I'm hoping the chef will share. Thanks.
Food & Drink Channel
Dear Anita: You were fortunate to arrive on a night when Fig Tree chef Byron Bergeron was serving these ambrosial potatoes. As it happens, they were part of a special that evening, but perhaps he should be persuaded to add them to the menu. They're that good.
You're right, of course — the chef does have a secret or two up his sleeve. First, he adds toasted, crushed caraway seeds and paprika to the potatoes to give them both lusty flavor and gorgeous color. Then he cooks the potatoes, along with shallots, in a combination of duck fat and butter. Cooking in duck fat is not typical on this side of the Atlantic, but in France, especially in the Dordogne region, potatoes cooked in duck fat are commonplace. Whether roasted or fried in duck fat, potatoes become utterly irresistible — crisp and golden on the outside and silken on the inside. The shallots that cook in the duck fat and butter become meltingly soft and caramelized, adding even more flavor to the potatoes.
Bergeron uses the small Yukon gold potatoes, about golf-ball size, but if you can't find them, just cut the larger ones into smaller chunks. Cut the shallots into similar size pieces, so they cook at the same rate. Serve these potatoes with an immaculately prepared duck breast, for a romantic dinner for two — at home.
The Fig Tree is located at 515 Villita St., in La Villita.

The remains of a 1.7 million-year-old stone hut, identical to structures still in use in various regions of Africa today
The history of Homo sapiens, which represents modern man on the imaginary evolutionary family tree, goes back much further than evolutionists expected. Paleontological findings indicate that human beings identical to us were alive nearly a million years ago.
One of the discoveries in this regard is a fossil found in the Atapuerca region of Spain. The fact that this fossil has the same characteristics to those of modern man rocked evolutionist beliefs regarding the evolution of man. Because according to the evolutionary family tree, no Homo sapiens should have lived 800,000 years ago.
Indeed, many findings showed that H. sapiens goes back even further than 800,000 years. One of these was the discoveries made in Olduvai Gorge by Louis Leakey in the early 1970s. Leakey determined in the Bed II stratum that Australopithecus, Homo habilis and H. erectus had all lived there together and at the same time.
However, the really interesting thing was a structure—the remains of a stone hut—found by Leakey in that same stratum (Bed II). Its most interesting aspect was that such a structure, which is still in use in some African regions today, could have been made only by Homo sapiens! According to Leakey's findings, Australopithecus, Homo habilis, H. erectus and modern man must all have been living together around 1.7 million years ago.209 This fact of course invalidates the theory of evolution that maintains that modern human beings evolved from the monkeys described as Australopithecus.
Moreover, there are findings of traces of modern human beings that go back even further than 1.7 million years. The most important of these is the footprints found in the Laetoli region. (See Laetoli footprints, the.) These prints, identical to those of modern human beings, have been calculated to date back some 3.6 million years.
These footprints discovered by Mary Leakey were later examined by such well-known paleoanthropologists as Don Johanson and Tim White.
Examinations of the morphological structure of the footprints again showed that they had to be regarded as belonging to a human and, what is more, to modern man, Homo sapiens. Russell Tuttle investigated the prints and later wrote:
A small barefoot Homo sapiens could have made them. . . In all discernible morphological features, the feet of the individuals that made the trails are indistinguishable from those of modern humans. 210
Unbiased investigations described the owners of these two sets of footprints: There was a total of 20 fossilized footprints belonging to a human being aged around 10, and 27 fossilized footprints belonging to someone slightly younger. They were very definitely normal human beings just like ourselves.
The fact that evolutionists persist in their theory that clearly conflicts with the scientific findings, and the way that they distort or ignore every discovery that works against it, clearly reveals that theory's unscientific nature.

The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives have held onto their seats in North West Leeds in the local elections – but Ukip have made in-roads.
In Adel and Wharfedale Billy Flynn held the seat for the Conservatives with 3,018 votes against the 1,312 of his nearest rival Labour's Mark Henley. Mr Flynn was fighting the election in place of long-standing councillor Clive Fox, who died in April.
The Conservatives also held onto power in Guiseley and Rawdon, where Councillor Pat Latty was re-elected with 2,811 votes. Labour's David Bowe polled 1,871, and Ukip's Roger Tattersall 1,444.
Harewood also saw Conservative success, with Matthew Robinson polling 3,542 votes. Ukip's Peter Morgan came second with 1,176 votes.
Liberal Democrats Brian Cleasby and Ryk Downes were both re-elected to their wards. Councillor Cleasby polled 2,037 votes in Horsforth, with Conservative Richard O'Callaghan gaining second place with 1880, and Labour's Rob Wilkinson 1644.
Councillor Downes polled 2,916 votes in Otley and Yeadon, where Carl Jones for the Labour party registered 1,916, and Tom Hollings 1,306 for Ukip.
Adel and Wharfedale had the highest turnout in Leeds, with 43.75 per cent voting – closely followed by Otley and Yeadon where the turnout was 43.65. The worst turnout in Leeds was City and Hunslet where a mere 22.84 per cent cast their votes.
Council Leader Keith Wakefield (Labour) was re-elected to his Kippax and Methley seat with 2,868 votes.
The overall political composition in Leeds is now Labour, 63 seats (no change); Conservative, 18 seats (no change); Lib Dem, 9 seats (down from 10); Morley Borough Independents, 5 seats (no change); Green, 3 seats (up from 2); Independent, 1 seat (no change).
Meanwhile, the Deputy Lord Mayor of Bradford and former Ilkley Parish Council chairman, Mike Gibbons, won more than 50 per vote of the vote to be returned to his Ilkley ward seat on Bradford Council.
The Conservative candidate received a total of 2,705 votes, more than 1,000 votes ahead of Labour candidate, Sandy Macpherson, who polled 1,303.
Councillor Gibbons is expected to become Lord Mayor of Bradford shortly.
Green Party candidate Brian Ford had 508 votes, Liberal Democrat Peter Ferguson polled 359, and there were 348 votes for Ukip's Paul Latham. There was a turnout of 37 per cent.
The Conservative Party also retook a seat in the Wharfedale ward, previously held by Chris Greaves. Councillor Greaves, a former Conservative who went independent, did not stand for election.
Conservative candidate Gerald Barker won with 1,737 votes, although independent candidate and Menston Action Group campaigner, Steve Ellams, also gained strong support, polling 1,017 votes.
Labour's Niccola Swan received 737 votes, Green Party candidate Janet Souyave 393 and Liberal Democrat Paul Treadwell 229.
Turnout in the Wharfedale ward, which takes in Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston, was 44 per cent.
In the Craven ward, where two seats were being contested, following the death of Councillor Michael Kelly earlier this year, just 12 votes separated the two winning candidates.
Conservative, Andrew Mallinson, was returned to his seat with 1,864 votes, while independent candidate, Mayor of Silsden, Chris Atkinson, almost equalled him with 1,852 votes.
Addingham Parish Council chairman, Catherine Coates, who stood as an independent candidate, was third, with 1,478 votes, while the second Conservative candidate, Andrew Rowley, was fourth with 1,091 votes.
The voting means that Labour secured control of Bradford Council with an overall majority, now holding a total of 46 seats, the exact number.

Get Feedback on Your Teaching
One can assess teaching in a variety of ways including instructor effectiveness, course evaluation, instructional strategies, and course mapping. The type of teaching assessment used depends upon what you are looking to accomplish; when the assessment is carried out; and how the results will be used. The benefits of assessing teaching include:
- Determining whether techniques are having the desired impact on students' learning
- Monitoring whether you're teaching strategies meet learning outcomes
- Identifying challenges your students are having in learning the material
- Improving instruction by making adjustments to teaching practices during the semester.
Types of Teaching Assessments
Instructional Strategies
These are the assessments of specific steps, strategies, innovations, assignments, and/or actions used during the course to engage students in learning. For example, an instructor can assess student learning from a particular activity at any point during the semester. Typically done during the semester to provide instructors useful information to adjust and improve instruction.
Teacher Effectiveness
At UT, typically completed by students at the end of the semester using the Course Instructor Survey. There are a variety of CIS forms one can use in the classroom depending upon the department, type of course, and survey method used (e.g. electronic or paper). When conducted during the semester using a Mid-semester Course Feedback survey, one can acquire useful information about one's teaching and Canvas offers a couple versions or instructors can create their own.
Course Evaluation
These questions are relatively broad in nature, inquiring students overall satisfaction with the course or its content. Similar and sometimes difficult to distinguish from assessment of teaching effectiveness because the questions related to the course evaluation are often embedded within the CIS. When conducted at the end of the semester, its results can assist the instructor in making future decisions about course instruction.
Course Map
This technique ensures the course learning outcomes are aligned with the course materials (e.g. out-of-class and in-class activities, assignments, exams, etc.). The product is generally a matrix (View example).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/12/2013 (1353 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The deep freeze continues for Southern Manitoba.
According to Environment Canada, an Arctic ridge of high pressure remains the story for today and the week ahead. Much of the region remains well below normal temperatures, with parts of Westman under a wind chill advisory this morning.
Wind chill in the Brandon, Carberry and Treherne areas is at or below the -40 C mark. Frostbite on exposed skin may occur in less than 10 minutes.
For Winnipeg, today's forecast is cold. Sunny skies will make up most of the day, with high reaching -23 C (wind chill -39 C). Tonight's low is -28 C.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. Temperatures are expected to hover around these marks for most of the week.
The normal high for this time of year is -9 C; the normal low is -19 C.

Lead Line — June 2002
By Richard Thiel
Under Attack?
|The industry is saddled with thorny problems.
A few months ago I received a press release from the Personal Watercraft Industry Association (PWIA) stating that "It is time for the larger boating community to work with the personal watercraft community to protect boaters' rights." It contends that since "personal watercraft are motorized boats," regulations restricting their use could "easily be extended to other motorized vessels, from bass boats to yachts." In other words, if regulators have their way with PWCs today, you might not be able to take your 40-footer everywhere you'd like to tomorrow.
The strategy is clear. PWIA knows PWCs have an image problem among certain segments of the population and hopes that by grouping them with all powerboats, they'll become more palatable. Plus, there's an obvious benefit to mobilizing a group with the kind of political and financial firepower large powerboat owners have.
I was willing to go along with PWIA until I got to this statement: "...anti-boating organizations are bent on regulating the use of motorboats on lakes and other public waterways, and on demonizing the boating industry as a whole." Sorry, but I can't accept the gross categorization of everyone who feels PWCs shouldn't be allowed on certain bodies of water--many of whom are boat owners--as "anti-boating." No doubt there are those bent on demonization of the boating industry, but there are also a lot of people who simply feel that not every body of water should be open to powered watercraft of any type. Large powerboats are restricted by their size and draft; PWCs are not, and there's the rub.
The release also touts the new breed of cleaner, quieter PWCs, and with good reason. No modern machine has undergone such a rapid and radical transformation from bad boy to social butterfly. According to PWIA, new PWCs are 70 percent quieter and emit 75 percent fewer emissions. In other words, PWC manufacturers have done in three years what it took car manufacturers two decades to do. Moreover, PWIA points out that it supports "reasonable regulations, strict enforcement of navigation and safety laws, and mandatory boating education."
These are laudable accomplishments, but the industry is still saddled with a couple of thorny problems. First, there are still thousands of old, loud, smokey PWCs out there, and given the durability of the two-cycle engine and fiberglass, they'll be around a long time. Perhaps a bounty could be offered on old PWCs for owners who trade up to newer units.
The second problem may prove more difficult to solve: behavior. The main attraction of the PWC for many people is its affordable freedom--freedom to go virtually anywhere, often at high speed and often engaging in the kind of driving that is simply not allowed on land or even in a controlled waterway. But not everyone wants to be around them when they cut loose. That's why a lot of reasonable boaters, many of whom own PWCs, think that some waters should be off limits to these machines--or for that matter, any powerboat. Instead of lumping them into a group of radicals, PWIA would be wiser to address their concerns.
The key, it seems to me, is to strive to make PWC owners good neighbors, as responsible as the new breed of machines. I know many of you own one or more PWCs, and I'd like to know how you feel about this issue. Is there a conspiracy to eliminate PWCs that threatens your rights as a powerboater? Should certain bodies of water be off-limits to PWCs and/or all powered boats? Does doing so unfairly compromise the rights of the owners of those boats?

When Gustavo Kolmel '08 showed up to present his case in Adjunct Professor Al Danto's New Enterprise class, he reminded students that only five years before he sat where they were sitting and listened to Jim Crane, chairman and CEO of Crane Capital Group and owner of the Houston Astros. "I came to the class to hear him speak. When he was through I introduced myself, and he expressed an interest in buying my company."
Born and raised in Brazil and always willing to take on a new challenge, Gustavo came to the United States at 21 with $500 in his pocket. When given the opportunity, he opened an office in New York for his first employer, BMCU Internationale Spedition, and learned to speak English. For the next eight years, he continued work in the shipping industry, living and working overseas as well as the U.S.
A problem solver and people person, Kolmel spent a year and a half working in Houston before he decided to start a company. "I didn't have a vision to change the world. I wanted to grow a company." In 1999, with only a laptop and a small amount of savings, he started InterStar Global Logistics. InterStar became a recognized leader in the global freight industry with a presence in 18 countries before Crane Worldwide acquired it in September of 2008. Kolmel became vice president at Crane, where he guided the company through several acquisitions.
Launch, grow, harvest
Last year Danto, a graduate of the first class of Rice MBA for Executives in 2000, had the vision to start using Jones School alumni for case studies in his class. Composed by two Jones School students and edited by Al Napier, professor of management, the case study examined fellow EMBA graduate Kolmel. Students were free to ask him any questions related to the case, and the topics ranged from capital and contract negotiations to eating noodles for dinner and deciding to earn an MBA.
"Having Gustavo speak to us about his incredible entrepreneurial experience really brought the case alive. He was not only able to fill in the gaps of the story, but his presence was also truly inspiring," said Jennifer Richards '14.
Kolmel left Crane Worldwide after 18 months and moved with his wife and two young children to Asheville, North Carolina where he "bought a farm to see his kids grow up close to nature." He started LuAnn Capital, a global mergers and acquisitions advisory firm, and despite the distance is still active with the Jones School, especially the JGSEO, where he participates in monthly roundtable discussions with alumni entrepreneurs, mentors students and alumni starting companies and is always willing to review a business plan or start-up idea.
"Having alumni in the class like Gustavo and Emily adds a new dimension and enhances the learning experience," said Danto. "Many of the lessons we learn in other university's case studies can be found in our own alumni and their experiences. A key component to learning entrepreneurship is through the trials and tribulations of other entrepreneurs. Having the case principal in the classroom eliminates the need for interpretation from a third party case."
The next case analysis in Danto's New Enterprise class this spring will be Managing Growth at Armenta, with jewelry designer and entrepreneur, Emily Armenta '03.

USU Extension Helps Low Income Taxpayers

USU Accounting Students Assist Extension Agents with Tax Preparation
LOGAN - Utah State University students in Beta Alpha Psi international honorary accounting organization worked with USU Extension county agents to make volunteer income tax assistance more available to rural Utahns. Through a new process called Virtual VITA, rural taxpayers were connected with certified volunteer student tax preparers at USU through the Internet.
According to Dean Miner, USU Extension professor, Utah County, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance is an IRS program that helps low-to-moderate income taxpayers prepare their returns, particularly those who may be eligible for the Earned Income Credit.
"The IRS requires direct contact between certified preparers and the taxpayers as part of the process," Miner said. "Rural communities frequently lack the certified volunteers needed, so the Virtual VITA concept was adopted by USU Extension over the past few tax seasons to overcome that obstacle."
Miner said the IRS is supportive and is looking for the collaboration between USU Extension and the accounting students to possibly serve as a model that can be duplicated in Beta Alpha Psi chapters across the nation.
"Beta Alpha Psi's ability to reach non-traditional VITA customers makes them a natural fit to help expand the Virtual VITA model," said IRS Stakeholder, Partnerships, Education and Communication Director Verlinda Paul. "We look forward to a continued partnership with Beta Alpha Psi so that we can reach even more taxpayers in rural communities."
Bonnie Villarreal, USU faculty advisor for Beta Alpha Psi, said the program provides a great opportunity for the students as well as the taxpayers who are served.
"There are always challenges when you involve additional steps using technology like Skype and secure file transfer, but we enjoyed working out the bugs with Dean Miner and the other Extension personnel, and it was great meeting some of the rural taxpayers via our virtual connection," she said. "We support Dean and the IRS in this effort and will be ready to serve again when needed."
Miner said the collaboration between USU Extension and Beta Alpha Psi is a great way to fulfill the land-grant mission of the University by providing information to help families improve their lives.
"Combining the on-campus expertise of the Beta Alpha Psi students with the in-county presence of Extension agents helped participating taxpayers save more than $10,000 in tax preparation fees and receive nearly $130,000 in state and federal refunds this year," he said.

A COMPANY boss from Burnley who left the taxman with a £108,000 loss has been banned from the boardroom for three-and-a-half years.
Investigators from the Insolvency Service found Samantha Hamer, 37, was a 'de-facto' director of Nelson-based Optimal Energy Solutions (OES) from around March 2010 before being officially appointed in 2012.
But despite the Lomeshaye industrial estate company having a turnover of more than £427,000, from April 2010 to June 2012, their liabilities to HM Revenues and Customs (HMRC) leapt from £18,726 to £108,666 in that period.
Hamer, of Stanbury Drive, Briercliffe, has now given an undertaking not to be involved in the directorship of any company until the start of June 2017.
The firm, which traded from October 2009, provided energy consumption testing services for residential and commercial properties, and has now gone into liquidation.
An Insolvency Service official said: "Under the directorship of her the debt owed by OES to HM RC grew from £18,726 at March 31, 2010, to £108,666 by 26 November 26, 2012, an increase of £89,940.
"In the same period the combined total for other creditors fell from £46,964 at March 31, 2010, to £38,424 by November 26, 2012, a fall of £8,540."
An inquiry found that the bulk of the losses related to pay-as-you-earn tax and National Insurance contributions.
There was also an outstanding VAT bill of £23,625, which remained unpaid.
It was also found that under Hamer, Optimal Energy Solutions only paid out £5,240 for deductions, on £66,426 of PAYE and National Insurance, £28,464 of VAT, which had been taken from employees and clients, over the same period.

It's All About: Boyish Charm
"At first, I did not want to make exhibition because for me a retrospective is for a funeral—and I am alive!" Jean Paul Gaultier says about the first international exhibit devoted to his work, opening at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. "But instead of putting it together chronologically, it is almost like a new collection."
The exhibit, which spans the 35 years of Gaultier's career, is instead grouped into six thematic rooms: an introduction to his favorite themes, the boudoir, skin and nudity, punk cancan (a fusion of Parisian chic and punk rock London), a multicultural urban jungle, and futurism. The result is a dizzying explosion of Gaultier's most creative fashion feats in fashion and pop culture told through images, video, and, of course, clothing. "I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life," Gaultier says of the result.
The exhibit, curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot, opens June 17 and runs through October 2 before traveling to Dallas, San Francisco, Madrid, and Rotterdam. Here, Gaultier and Loriot discuss just a few of the gems it includes.

On Campus
Help the Library Compost!
Organic waste compost bins will soon be placed throughout AU Library near the existing stations for trash and recycling. Students who live on campus are already using the new orange bins in their residence halls for compostable waste that was previously sent to landfills. Following up on the success of composting in the halls, the University will be adding these bins to academic and administrative buildings across campus. The library is at the forefront of this next step towards achieving zero waste on campus.
More than half of the trash currently produced in the library is actually organic waste that can be composted and reused. Anything organic—paper products, food waste, compostable containers and dishes—can be put into the new orange cans that will be added to the current "WasteLand" locations in the library. These cans will be located next to recycling bins for plastic, glass, and metal. Those materials cannot be composted and should still be put in the proper bins to help keep the library as sustainable as possible.
The organic waste bins will be emptied daily by Aramark staff—just like the current trash bins. Any organic waste will then by shipped off campus to a composting facility that can process all organic waste, even that which cannot be incorporated into home composting. There, it will be turned into a nutrient rich soil amendment. This initiative will require some small changes in behavior, but it will help the campus further reduce our waste footprint.

CELLIST Julian Lloyd Webber's concert at Malvern Theatres on Friday will be his last.
The musician today made the shock announcement that he has been forced to stop playing for medical reasons.
Lloyd Webber revealed that a herniated disc in his neck has reduced the power in his right arm, ending his musical career.
He said: "I am devastated. There were so many exciting plans that cannot now come to fruition. I have had an immensely fulfilling career and feel privileged to have worked with so many great musicians and orchestras but now I have to move on.
"I have no intention of enduring a forced retirement though. I would like to use the knowledge I have gained through my life as a musician and an educator to give back as much as I can to the music profession which has given me so much over the years.
"I have just completed two new recordings which will be released later this year but after May 2, my cello will fall silent. I now need time to reflect and to consider this sudden and distressing life-changing situation and there will be no further comment at this time."
Malvern Theatres still has some tickets left for Friday's concert, when Lloyd Webber will play with the English Chamber Orchestra.

A pensioner has won thousands of pounds in compensation after falling on an uneven road surface in Yeadon.
Grandmother Jean Whitters, 88, was left with permanent injuries after the accident as she crossed Yeadon High Street in August 2012.
The road had been part of a £1m regeneration scheme two years earlier but it was later resurfaced again after complaints from councillors who described its condition as appalling.
Mrs Whitters, who fell on her face while using a designated crossing point, reported the accident to Leeds City Council. But she says the council initially denied liability for the condition of that section of road.
But now she has accepted a £14,000 settlement from the authority after it admitted it was at fault.
Mrs Whitters suffered two black eyes and a irreparable rotator cuff injury which has left her unable to carry out simple household tasks.
She welcomed the settlement but criticised the council for prevaricating.
"They knew their roads were in an appalling condition but yet they tried to deny it," she said.
"They thought I was some silly old woman who would go away but they were wrong."
Mrs Whitters said she would have been willing to take the case to court – not just for herself but for the sake of anyone else in a similar situation.
"I am pleased with the settlement but I am only sorry that it has left me with such an injury," she said.
"They were just trying to get away with it – but it has cost them a lot more money than it would have done it they had accepted it at the start.
"They have given me an apology but it is 18 months too late."
A spokeswoman for Leeds City Council said: "We can only apologise to Mrs Whitters for this unfortunate incident.
"Our roads are inspected regularly and in fact this section of road was inspected less than two weeks before Mrs Whitters' fall. Initially our insurers took the decision to deny liability on the basis that it appeared that the defect had appeared after the last inspection of the area, and in those circumstances the council would not be legally liable.
"However after further investigation our insurers accepted the council's liability."

Big Data Staffing: 40% Have Double-Digit Hiring AmbitionsJust how strong is the demand for big data analytics experts? To give you some idea, 40% of 108 respondents to our InformationWeek 2012 State of IT Staffing Survey who cited big data and analytics as one of the top two areas of staffing increase over the next year say personnel will increase by 11% or more during the next two years. And 18% say they'll increase staffing by more than 30%.

I can only see metadata, XMP specifically, becoming more important if
this new "Cloud Rule" begins to take hold with customers.
Google's Data Liberation Front springs from customer
altruism but it also builds pressure in the industry to provide data
portability with cloud based services. For the customer, it removes
the 'icky' from the stickyness of web based services, for the service
providers it removes an excuse for not keeping their services
Yet to be seen if this will put pressure on services like Facebook and
Picassa to allow them to export them images with socially added tags
embedded in the images.

I've had similar problems with those tools. I'd recommend trying bruter. It will fill in the fields automatically.
I know there is much discussion on which is better. I have no take.
I want to learn one of them, whichever is better. I have heard medusa is faster but I don't know.
I am having issues with the syntax of both programs for webforms (http-post)
I really would rather learn, so please walk my newb brain through the steps.
I want to try SABnzbdplus and phpmyadmin. Once I am successful with SAB, I'll move on to phpmyadmin.
Using the source of SABnzbdplus, I see that ma_username and ma_password are the fields I'm looking for.
Unfortunately I am missing something.Code:<form action="/sabnzbd/" method="POST"> Username: <input type="text" name="ma_username" />
 Password: <input type="password" name="ma_password" />
 <input value="Login" type="submit" />
Code:hydra -l Test -P ~/Desktop/n_names.txt -f -s 8080 -t 2 -V 22.214.171.124 http-post-form "sabnzbd/:ma_username=^USER^&ma_password=^PASS^"
I've had similar problems with those tools. I'd recommend trying bruter. It will fill in the fields automatically.
The correct syntax for hydra is
<url>:<form parameters>:<failure string>
something like this
login.php:ma_username=^USER^&ma_password=^PASS^:fa ilure"
Here is a comparison of the features although a bit old now
I get the url and the form parameters, at least I think i do, but where can i find the failure string?
I don't know either products but a failer string is simple plain text only shown on the page when it fails. For example if you fill out the form and it always says "password failed" you could use that (DON'T use text that's shown on the page when the password works).
I have a basic form testing script that uses cURL to submit then checks the response HTML. If the response HTML haves the string it tries the next user/pass or exits and echos the user/pass. I assume its the same logic.

UNH Geologists to Instrument Northern N.E. With Seismometers
L-R: UNH graduate student Evangelos Korkolis, assistant professor of Earth science Margaret Boettcher, and graduate student Ian Honsberger look for a suitable site for a seismometer. They are currently seeking similar locations for 24 seismometers that will be placed around northern New England.
This summer, two University of New Hampshire graduate students are fanning out across northern New England searching for sites for 24 seismometers – instruments that record earthquakes – as part of a nationwide effort that's been described as a telescope into the Earth's interior. Margaret Boettcher, assistant professor of Earth sciences at UNH, along with graduate students Evangelos Korkolis and Ian Honsberger, have been tapped by EarthScope, a National Science Foundation-funded project that aims to better understand the structure of the North American continent and the deep Earth, to help place seismometers every 70 kilometers throughout the continental U.S.
"This project will help us learn all kinds of interesting information about the structure of the interior of the Earth," says Boettcher. "It will also help us understand the details of how earthquakes start, rupture and stop." That information, she says, will eventually lead to better prediction of earthquakes.
But first, the geologists need to find sites for the seismometers throughout New Hampshire, northern Vermont, and all of Maine. They anticipate the task will take several months of field work and will take them to some of the most rugged and remote reaches of the region.
The seismometers – a series of springs and masses about the size of a basketball and so precise they could detect a minor earthquake in Japan from northern Maine – are unmanned and solar-powered, so they need to be placed in open areas, like farms or logging clear-cuts. They can't be near roads or streams, which cause noise and vibrations that the instruments could pick up, and they should be in areas with six feet of sediment above the bedrock.
"My students are spending a lot of time on Google Earth looking for ideal sites, then they'll be meeting with private landowners to seek permission to install these instruments," says Boettcher. "We're excited to be involved in this project, because it really involves the public. It engages the whole nation."
Korkolis and Honsberger will be doing the majority of the field work, starting with sites in southern New Hampshire and along the Kancamagus Highway, then moving into Vermont and finally the entire state of Maine. Once installed, the seismometers will remain in place for two years.
The work of the UNH geologists comes at the tail end of the decade-long effort to map the structure of the Earth's interior with regularly spaced seismometers across the continental U.S. Called the Transportable Array, the project has deployed a network of 400 seismometers every 70 kilometers (approximately 40 miles) working from the western edge of the continent. After two years, each instrument is moved to the next location on the eastern edge of the array.
The efforts of the UNH team are part of the nationwide EarthScope project: www.earthscope.org. UNH is also a member of IRIS, Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, which is coordinating the overall project.
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.

'Fiscal Cliff' Debate Continues Partisan Tone
The debate over the "fiscal cliff" continues to take a partisan tone, with just days remaining before the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts kick in.
On the Senate floor today, Democratic leader Harry Reid charged that House Speaker John Boehner "seems to care more about keeping his speakership than about keeping the nation on sound financial footing."
In response, a Boehner spokesman said Reid "should talk less and legislate more if he wants to avert the fiscal cliff."
Not long after Reid spoke, President Barack Obama's plane landed in suburban Maryland after a flight from Hawaii. The White House says the president made phone calls yesterday to Reid and Boehner, and to the House and Senate minority leaders, to get an update on efforts to avoid the cliff.
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell's office says Obama's phone call was the first from a Democrat on the fiscal cliff since Thanksgiving.
The questions hanging over Washington today center on whether Reid will offer a specific piece of legislation, whether McConnell will let it proceed to a vote on the Senate floor -- and, if it were to pass, whether Boehner would then call House members back to Washington to vote on it. Chances of achieving that before the end of the year appear remote.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder Reviews
amazing!!LOVE this powder. It applies really easily with a kabuki brush and it really does keep my skin matte. I love the way it smooths on over my concealer and tinted moisturizer and leaves no cakey spots at all. — 5 years, 8 months agoaly7 | 396 reviews

Just as Good as Clinique Sty Mtte!Very suprised by this powder! For the past year I've been using my Clinique Stay Matte Pressed Powder and that works fine it's just that it makes my face look really dull and chalky and I prefer a more smooth textured powder and Clinique's isn't silky feeling when applied. Plus I find that it only lasted me about 2 months before I had nothing but pebbles left. This is absolutely amazing!!! Feels s...read moreo nice, light and silky and I'm able to get it for about $3.99!

Good product, but not for me.As someone who has incredibly oily skin, products that claim to "stay matte" always get me excited. This powder came with great reviews so I decided to give it a shot with high hopes. For the price, I think that it is a pretty good product, but it doesn't blow me away. Rimmel is a pretty great brand and I love their prices, that is certainly a plus. I found the perfect shade for my skin as w...read moreell, and I appreciate that the powder has a bit of a tint to it without being over-powering. I have found that some setting powders that are not translucent can get cakey, but that was not the case with this one. There is a range of colors available, so it can be used with most skin tones. There is also a ton of powder in each container, so expect this stuff to last a while. The product is easily blendable-I typically use either a kabuki brush or a pouf, depending on my mood. Once, in a pinch, I had to use a sponge, and the product still went on relatively well. So overall this product applies great. However, I was moderately disappointed in the performance. Although this keeps my skin matte an extra hour or two, it certainly doesn't do the job all day. After five or six hours, I start to get shiny. And once your skin gets oily, don't even bother trying to cake this over it to absorb the shine-THAT is when the product starts looking cakey. So although there is much that impresses me about this product, it didn't work for me personally. I would still recommend it to most people with normal/combination skin, however, because my skin is very hard to work with. I will not repurchase this product again, unless I hear talk of a new formula. — 4 years, 5 months agohanana | 35 reviews

My favorite setting powderIn my opinion, this is more of a translucent color. I have this in both 004 and 005, but I don't think there is a difference between the two. This comes in pressed powder form, and for the money, this is my favorite setting powder. It does not leave my skin chalky or too 'made-up' looking. I have had mine for well over 6 months and only half of the powder is gone! Lasts a long time!! This is personally my favorite, and if you are in the mood for a pressed translucent, give Stay Matte a try. — 8 years, 3 months agoleelu | 354 reviews

It's OKI got the shade 001 transparent and it looks very natural after applying. It does matte my face right after but my face gets shiny again after an hour or two. Not sure if it's because I didn't put enough on? I do have oily prone skin. Maybe it's the SPF moisturizer I use :/ Love how easily it applies and that it has a very nice scent though. Also the lid doesn't stay on very well so you have to be careful while putting it away. — 3 years, 6 months agopiggysuperchi | 195 reviews

Wonderful ProductThis powder beats out brands triple its price. I'd heard this was one of those drugstore staples and only recently gave it a try. This might be the last powder I buy. It goes on matte, stays put all day and does well with my oily skin. No gimmicks or special ingredients, this is a classic powder. I only gave it a 9 and not a 10 becuase the color selction is limited. — 4 years, 2 months agomoriarty.kt | 213 reviews
Good for the priceThis powder truly does stay matte. Not ALL day, of course, but I've never found any powder that I didn't have to reapply. This keeps shine at bay longer than most, and it doesn't get too cakey upon reapplication. It would be nice if this came in a mirrored compact, though (hence my 7-star rating). The packaging is impractical for a "purse powder", and more suited to something you'd keep at home. — 8 years, 7 months agoamygab1126 | 242 reviews

Nice powderThis stuff is really great. No matter how many different powders I try, I always end up coming back to this one. It controls shine for hours and I don't have to reapply it very often. — 6 years, 5 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews

Y water
Once I'm getting over the "organic" tag on the YWATER website (how do you make organic water?!?) I'm absolutely getting some bottles just because of their shapes, and the special connectors that transforms them into a construction toy. the Y bottle, which was designed by Yves Behar comes in 4 flavors, for brain, muscle, bone, and the immune system.

ROSENBERG, Texas - An unassuming metal warehouse in Rosenberg became a focal point in a nationwide crackdown on so-called "designer" drugs.
More than a dozen agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration's Houston Division raided the warehouse Wednesday, uncovering hundreds of thousands of packets of synthetic marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine. Agents also discovered a fully operational lab set up to manufacture and package the drugs under names like "Kush," "Mystic" and "Bath Salts."
"It's killing people, the violence associated with this is out of control," said Javier Pena, special agent-in-charge of the DEA's Houston Division. "We need to take this off the streets."
Pena said the raid was one of 10 in the Houston area targeting an organization manufacturing and selling synthetic drugs at smoke shops and convenience stores. The raid in Rosenberg netted 250,000 packets of synthetic drugs ready for distribution. Pena said these packets had a street value of between $4 million and $5 million.
Agents said they also seized thousands of pounds of chemicals and plant materials. Pena said manufacturers used ground up alfalfa and barley to mimic marijuana. Agents also seized $800,000 in cash, eight guns and 11 vehicles.
"Our message is we're going to go after them, we're not going to rest," said Pena.
According to numbers compiled by the State Department of Health, Harris County is the No. 1 spot in Texas when it comes to synthetic drug poisonings.
"It's very dangerous," said Pena. "We've seen the deaths, we've seen the overdoses off this stuff."
The Houston area raids were part of a nationwide effort by the DEA dubbed Operation Log Jam. Agents fanned out in dozens of cities across the United States seizing synthetic drugs and arresting both retailers and manufacturers. Although no one has been arrested yet as a result of the Rosenberg raid, Pena said "arrests will definitely be forthcoming."
These synthetic drugs have been linked to several outbursts of extreme violence in several US cities. Texas passed a law banning these substances last year and this year a federal ban went into effect.

Eagle 22 Birchfield 17
EAGLE enjoyed a narrow victory over promotion-chasing Birchfield on Saturday.
Stephen Leigh took Eagle to the 10-metre line and carries from Owen Mcinroy and Callum Murphy allowed Bennett to score in the corner.
A difficult bounce caught Jay Rutter short and the Birchfield centre kicked through to touch down, before the full back made amends with a penalty.
Birchfield added a second after a driving maul put Eagle under pressure from a lineout.
Captain Jay Jackson put a penalty in the corner after the break and Eagle won the lineout for impact substitute Ash Losh to touch down.
Eagle again surged forward through several phases and replacement Craig Tourney scored a well-worked try.
Birchfield's winger chipped over Rutter, who brought him down and kicked the loose ball into touch, but was adjudged to have done so illegally and was shown the yellow card.
Birchfield scored with five minutes remaining, but Eagle held on to secure their first ever victory against the visitors.
