I've been writing about how to secure the Internet for almost a decade, including in this InfoWorld position paper (PDF), which gives most of the details. My proposal is this: A new Internet channel must be created to establish pervasive authentication and improved services for identifying the bad guys.
That might seem like a tall order in today's ultramalicious online world, but it can all be readily done using existing protocols and integrate with all legacy systems.
[ The Web browser is your portal to the world -- as well as the conduit that lets in many security threats. InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to secure your Web browsers in this "Web Browser Security Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
In the past, many readers have recoiled from the notion of pervasive authentication. An Internet where everyone knows who everyone else is a contentious idea. But those concerns can be addressed by having anonymous and pseudo-anonymous identities, and channels that don't mind those types of identities with less trust assurance.
In all modesty, I think the best part of my solution is a new centralized service that serves as a sort of "DNS for security."
Like DNS, the new security service would be everywhere on the Internet, available for all to us, and mostly invisible behind the scenes. I envision a centralized service that keeps track of all the bad things going on around the Internet and lets everyone else know when badness is confirmed. For example, Microsoft recently confirmed that four brand new computer brands contained malware installed at the factory -- and also discovered a single parent domain, 3322.org, hosting 500 different malware strains across more than 70,000 sub-domains.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if both the computer vendors involved and the 70,000 exploitative sub-domains were immediately announced to the world as "bad actors" so that the rest of us (and our software and computers) could respond appropriately? Much of the anti-malware world knows most of the malicious places and things on the Internet. I believe this sort of information should be freely shared with the entire world, rather than held by particular vendors.
What's needed is a new service that has the simplicity of a DNS query ("one packet sent, one packet received"), which can tell the originator whether or not a particular subject has been previously determined as malicious or not. Some vendors have already built this sort of functionality into their products. But what I'm talking about is a service the works no matter what product, operating system, or device you use.
In my ideal world, every time anyone received a piece of incoming content, regardless of the the application, the computer would send a trust query behind the scenes: "Can this content be trusted?" The answering service would be backed by a cloud database that collected anti-malware information from a variety of vendors and products. That way when a spammer launched its latest spam campaign, the service would get early warning and the rest of the spammer's campaign would fail. Millions of spam emails would fail and make spam unprofitable again.
If some part of the Internet, such as 3322.org, were identified as hosting too many bad sites, everyone would know immediately. And if the owner of 3322.org cleaned up his act, he might be able to get his domain and sub-domains unflagged, and start to join legitimate society again. But only with a DNS-like trust service could we immediately mark, communicate, and defend against these malicious actors that depend on our ignorance to get rich. Malicious hackers live by the byte at the speed of light. I say let them disappear by the same method.
We would need to build, fund, and maintain this new service, but we already do the same with DNS today. DNS is pervasively used by everyone, and I don't hear anyone complaining about its cost. A security service could be provided using the same mechanisms as we use to support DNS, which relies on a few contracted parties supplemented by a host of volunteer devices. We already have the model. We just need the new service.
Actually, one global security service probably isn't enough. Others can probably come up with different protection services at least as good as the one I suggest above. For that, we need a meta-security indexing service. Essentially, you would have a few servers that would host the records of all the underlying security services, of which my trust assurance servers would be one. Your device could query the indexing server for a particular security service and get immediately redirected to the right computer or computers.
The Internet is long overdue for a more secure version. We can make it. We can do it. It just takes the right people with a common vision coming together for a few months to implement existing protocols against a few new databases and services. It will happen -- and I hope I'm part of that change.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ghostchick from All in One Ease The ink colors stand out, however impressions require a bit of force, but it's legible and makes my job so much easier than handwriting all this information. Thanks for the great customer service too, VistaPrint!

Rated 1 out of 5 by GhostChick from Poor quality, disappointed Sorry, but this looks a lot better than it actually stamps. The ink is bone dry and the impression of the stamper is barely raised. Even using a separate ink pad, I can't get a legible impression. I wish I had time to send it back, but the tax bills and payments are rolling in.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Virginian from just OK I waited until the first of the year so that I would have a stamp without any previous (and useless) years. But last year was included in the stamp, so it will last one year less than what I had planned. AND the inking pad seems rather dry...a light print. I will have to go buy ink and ink the pad myself.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Elyse M from Stuck stamp. The stamp that I ordered keeps getting stuck and does not touch the inkpad completely without manual adjustment. I have to stamp multiple pages very quickly with this stamp and it is not as efficient as I would have liked.

Quickly, what is the cost-benefit of improving your 21-day pregnancy rate from 15 percent to 20 percent? Not many farmers can accurately answer that off the top of their head.
But that information can be critical to your profitability. To help calculate the right response for your farm, check out the "Dairy Reproductive Economic Analysis" tool from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. (Click here, then scroll down to find the link under "Reproduction".)
This decision-support tool has been developed to assess the economic value of reproductive programs and, more importantly, to calculate the economic value of improving reproductive performance, explains Victor Cabrera, University of Wisconsin extension dairy management specialist.
The developers made every possible effort to present this tool as a practical, user-friendly application in spite of the complexity involved in the internal calculations. They also tried to keep the tool as a web-based system for easy use and application.
The tool comes with a 7-minute video demonstration that you should take a look before using it. "I also encourage you to read the one-page overview in the front page of the tool. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information or technical support," he adds.

Working Together to Make a Measurable Difference Community Information Sessions
In fall 2012, the Fairfax County Human Services System held four community information sessions, Working Together to Make a Measurable Difference. The sessions were open to the public and provided an opportunity for representatives of nonprofit and community-based organizations; businesses; faith-based organizations and houses of worship; public schools and higher education institutions; and human services boards, authorities and commissions to discuss:
- Affordable housing.
- Connected individuals.
- Economic self-sufficiency.
- Healthy people.
- Positive living for older adults and individuals with disabilities.
- Successful children and youth.
These topics are conditions of well-being or results that the human services system seeks for those it serves.
Representatives who attended the sessions were asked to share trends related to the six results and their organization's contributions in these areas.
The Working Together to Make a Measureable Difference Community Information Session Summary shares findings from these valuable community information sessions. Items listed in this summary represent the views of the participants and organizations that attended dialogue sessions.
Prior to the community information sessions, an electronic survey was conducted to solicit feedback regarding the overall relevance of the six results and related factors: Working Together to Make a Measureable Difference Survey Results Summary.

If ever there were an article that spoke to every Sharpie user, the following might take the cake.
Posted on the Forbes Blog, "Is Your Creativity Worth Millions?" points out that everyone has the ability to be creative, it's just a matter of utilizing what you have. Read on and be inspired to unleash your creativity. You never know, the next million dollar work of art just might start with a Sharpie? Maybe it's your Sharpie…
Is Your Creativity Worth Millions?
Ever wondered what a painting worth $106 million looks like? I've seen one. It's pretty good. In fact, it's the most expensive painting ever sold at auction. Someone really took a shine to it to pay all that money. (It was a Picasso portrait of one of his mistresses.)
What it tells you is that creativity can be worth millions. And in terms not just of dollars but of fans and followers. I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a new movement on the rise, and it's purely devoted to the freshest sometimes fantastical things we can produce. I'm talking about creativity.
Creativity takes countless forms—music, art, sculpture, photography, illustration, and so on—whatever your mind can produce with the help of a few materials. Just Google and you'll find loads of websites, forums, top tens and favorites devoted to all things creative.
Some of the things out there are downright wacky. But then that's often the point. They you noticed. Creativity can spark such passion that people will even gather in large groups and go buck naked in public just to be part of a living artwork, crouching or lying nude for hours with complete strangers just to say they were there and they were part of something unique and great.
The truth is that we all have that creative spark inside of us. Why else would so many of us doodle while at work? But technology has really unleashed it. There are countless drawing and illustration apps for the iPad and games consoles, and people proudly show off their work online, inspiring others to follow suit and see what they can achieve with a few finger strokes.
Every day I tell this to the young talented creatives who ribbit in StrawberryFrog: In today's world, when you have so little time of your own after your battles with work and the day's stresses and strains, it's easy to give up on enjoying your creative side. After all, you've got far more important things to do that sit sketching with a pencil.
But just think. Where would we be if the world's most famous artists had felt that way? They had a passion, a seed of talent, and with nurturing and careful attention they became the masters of their craft.
As for the world's most expensive painting, you can see it here. The fact that it's a Picasso . . . well, that may just have added a few bucks to the price tag. Now, where did I put my pencil and sketch pad?

HOUSTON - A group of men wielding guns and sledgehammers robbed an east Houston pawn shop on Wednesday.
Houston police said the men barged into the EZ Pawn on the East Freeway near Lockwood just after 1 p.m.
The men hit the glass counters with the sledgehammers, grabbed as much jewelry as they could and then took off.
Several customers and employees were inside the store at the time of the robbery.
"Anytime you have multiple suspects armed with handguns, putting citizens and worker in fear for their lives, it's essential we get them off the streets as soon as possible," Officer Ken Nealy said.
Police said they were looking at surveillance footage to try to get descriptions of the men.
The men got away in a newer-model, black Dodge Charger.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Categories // Web Editor Tips
Most web editors will, at some point, need to upload a picture or a PDF file to the web server. The upload process is one of the first steps that will enable you to use a picture or PDF file on your web page.
First of all, uploading is the process that transfers your picture or PDF file from your computer to the website.
You probably organize your files that you use for work on your computer. You may have a number of file folders to store various types of files. The same is true for the website. When the new website was being designed, a lot of time was devoted to the file folder structure. In fact, the menus on the website, in a general sense, follow the file folder structure. It would make sense to become familiar with the structure so that when you store files, they stay organized. In order to get the concept, let's consider an example.
Great Teaching SeminarLet's say you want to add a picture to the web pages of the Great Teaching Seminar. Where would you store the picture? Assuming the picture is web-ready and residing on your computer ...
You have found the folder for storing images that will go on the Great Teaching Seminar pages! In most cases, the file folder organization of the website follows the home top and right-side menus. Can't find your file folder? Ask.
Now what?Click the Upload button. Drag and drop your image or select the image to be uploaded by clicking "Browse". Click "Upload". You did it!
What about PDFs?PDF files are stored in the downloads folder. Uploading PDFs is handled with the Link tool in much the same way as picture uploads.
Important: In most cases, you WILL NOT have to create any new folders for your files. Need help? Ask.
Questions? Contact Web Services.
At times you may want to advertise your college program or service on printed material. If you want to send people to your web page, an easy to remember URL is essential. For example, the UCC Engineering Department has the friendly URL, www.umpqua.edu/engineering - simple, easy to remember and easy to type.
Not only are shorter URLs easier to remember, Google and other search engines "like" them too. Friendly URLs are also known as Search Engine Friendly URLs. The new website was designed with Search Engine Friendly URLs. If you think your web page needs a friendlier URL, please contact web services.
Whenever you have content that is time-based, it would be good to take into consideration the Start & Finish Publishing settings.
Let's say that you have a web page that needs to go-live in the future, perhaps an announcement. Just set the "Start Publishing" date and time (time is in the Military standard). So if you want your web page to be viewable on the website on June 14, 2014 at 4:30pm, enter "2014-06-14 16:30:00". In this case, the web page will not become viewable on the website until the specific date and time that you set.
Conversely, if you have a web page that should become unviewable on the website after a certain date and time, just set the "Finish Publishing" date and time.
If you are using the Start Publishing or Finish Publishing setting, you must set the "Status" setting to "Published".
What about menus?Menu settings are not available to all web editors. Whenever you are considering the use of the Start Publishing or Finish Publishing setting, work with web services.
From time to time, you may want to upload a file, such as a PDF, and provide it as a download to web visitors. So, what's so important about file naming anyway?
What would be a good practice for naming your files?
Keep in mind the following: make sure your file names do not include any special characters like "&" or "/". Special characters may cause your file to error during the upload process. It is also a good practices to eliminate spaces in the file name.
What would be a good file name?
An ideal file name would leave no doubt about what it is and where it came from. Something like:
The file name above gives you lots of information about what it is, where it came from and whether it is up-to-date. In fact, if the file name is useful to you, then it is use for ... you guessed it ... Google and other search engines.
Notice that there are no capital letters. Omitting capitals is more of an aesthetic requirement than a technical one. Also, putting a date on your files should be done with care and avoided, if possible. Why? Because a file without a date can simply be overwritten when you update it. You don't have to change the link and you don't have to delete the old file. It makes computer "housekeeping" easier. Aren't you glad that you read this?
Can you use capital letters in your filename?
Can you use "_" - underscores?
PDF files cannot be bigger than 2MB. If you get an upload error telling you that the file size is too large, contact Web Services.

Book a flight to Alexandria with Qatar Airways and you'll be visiting a city that has helped shaped history and fathered legends. Founded by Alexander the Great, it has provided a seat of power for Cleopatra, housed one of the Seven Wonders of the World and been home to one of the most significant libraries of the ancient world. Yet, with all this behind it, Alexandria is stepping up to take its place in the 21st Century.
The skyline now glitters with great glass buildings and lights, to create a spectacular fusion of past and present. Fly to Alexandria for an opportunity to explore a city that has a rich history behind it and an exciting future ahead.
With so much history to be found, a trip to Alexandria can feel like stepping back in time. The al-Mursi Abu al-Abbas Mosque was built in 1775 over the tomb of a holy man who was buried there in the 13th Century. A festival takes place here annually, celebrating his life. It is widely considered to be Alexandria's most beautiful mosque, with cream-coloured minarets and stunning marble floors.
The original Ancient Library of Alexandria no longer stands, but it was replaced and opened in 2002 with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. While it might not sound like a family day out, in addition to the millions of books and the four museums it houses, there's also a planetarium and an interactive Virtual Reality suite, which youngsters are bound to get excited by.
It's definitely worth checking out what was the Sayed Darwish Theatre. It's been refurbished and is now known as the Alexandria Opera House, where you can catch a huge and eclectic array of performances, ranging from traditional plays and music to the pomp and ceremony of opera.
For a little rest and relaxation from the frantic pace of city life during your trip to Alexandria, head to the peace and tranquillity of the Montazah Royal Gardens. This is more than 350 acres of beautifully sculpted grounds that form the formal grounds of the Muntazah Palace. The gardens sit on the shoreline of the Mediterranean, giving you access to some spectacular sandy beaches as well as shade-dappled gardens.
Food is a huge part of Alexandrian culture, influenced by Greek, Italian, Indian and Japanese cuisines. Be sure to try some of the local foods, such as aysh, a local bread that comes either as a baguette-style loaf or as a flatbread.
Grilled meat kebabs are popular and can be found served by street vendors on virtually every corner. These are highly-spiced with the kind of herbs you might find in Turkish or Lebanese cooking – and the streets are often thick with the savoury smell of them cooking.
There are plenty of restaurants to be found in the city serving everything from the very best falafel and fuul through to kushary – rice, peas and roasted onions, served in a spicy tomato sauce.
Souks and bazaars are still alive and kicking in the city and a trip to Alexandria wouldn't be complete without a visit. What you can buy depends very much on which district you're in (and how good you are at haggling), but you can certainly buy gold and silver jewellery, leather goods and, in the higher-end souks, pungent bundles of incense. However, Alexandria has also discovered the joys of the shopping mall and they are springing up across the city. Perhaps the best to go to is the City Centre Mall on the Cairo Desert Road. This has virtually everything you could ever want - including restaurants and play areas for children!
Qatar Airways Flights to Alexandria land at Borj El Arab International Airport, which is located about 49 kilometres from the city centre. It is well served by car-hire services and taxis but, if you are taking a cab, be sure to agree the fare with your driver before you go anywhere.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Alexandria please check the visa and passport requirements.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Saint Leo sophomore Carl Dunne earned the nod as the 2013 Sunshine State Conference Runner of the Year, league officials announced Tuesday. Joining Dunne on the 2013 Sunshine State Conference All-Cross Country Team were teammates Valentin Lenz and Rafal Matuszczak, as the Lions claimed three of the seven spots on this year's squad.
Dunne adds the coveted Runner of the Year title to his already lengthy list of accolades. The 2012 Freshman of the Year used his sophomore campaign to up his game, winning the 2013 SSC men's cross country individual title with a time of 25:37 in the 8K race. The Monasterboice, Ireland native recorded five top-10 finishes throughout his 2013 regular season, and he earned a first-place finish at the FLrunners.com Invitational in Titusville, Fla. on Sept. 27. Dunne was then named the SSC Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week presented by VALIC on Sept. 30.
Lenz earns his first All-Conference honor after a solid sophomore season with the Lions. The Duesseldorf, Germany native claimed second place individual honors at the 2013 SSC Cross Country Championship race with a time of 25:45, helping the Lions earn a program best second place team finish. Lenz earned a sixth place finish at the FLRunners.com Invitational, earning a 5K time of 16:27.20 to help the Lions to a first place team finish.
Matuszczak proved to be a force to be reckoned with in his freshman season. In the Lions' first meet of 2013, the Wschowa, Poland native finished the 5k even in 14:51.44, finishing fourth out of a field of 122. Matuszczak picked up another fourth place finish at the UF Mt. Dew Invitational, finishing the 8k with a total time of 25:20.31, and crossed third at the FLRunners.com Invitational with a 5K time of 16:00.20. He finished 11th at the SSC Championship race, crossing the line in 26:22.
Seven student-athletes in total earned 2013 All-SSC honors. Florida Southern's Bobby Ormsby was named Freshman of the Year, and head coach of the Mocs, Ben Martucci, was selected as Coach of the Year.
Joining Dunne, Lenz, Matuszczak and Ormsby on the all-conference team were David Tomchinsky (Florida Southern), Long Tran (Nova Southeastern) and Chris Yanichko (Florida Southern).
In his debut season at Florida Southern, Ormbry recorded five top-10 finishes, including three top-5 finishes. At the SSC Championship, the Fort Myers. Fla. native finished fifth place in a time of 26:11. Ormbsy finished one position behind Dunne at the University of Florida Mountain Dew Invitational on Sept. 14. He recorded his top 8K time of 25:14 at the Florida State Invitational on Oct. 11.
In his first season as head coach at Florida Southern, Martucci led the Moccasins to their conference-leading 16th SSC Men's Cross Country Championship. The two-time SSC individual men's cross country champion and SSC Runner of the Year (2009, 2010) saw his team win three events and finish second twice during 2013. The Moccasins open the season winning the USF Invitational and then closed out the regular season with a team victory at the Florida State Invitational. Four Florida Southern runners earned All-Championship honors by placing in the top-10 at the conference championships. Yanichko came in third, Tomchinsky came in fourth, Ormsby was fifth and Jose Perez was eighth.
Voting for the All-SSC Men's Cross Country Team was conducted among the league cross country coaches.

I think artifical island would benefit both mankind and fish for habitats and recreation. I am for isalnd creation!
i know blumberg he's an idiot. He's talking out of his ass. This won't happen. don't get me wrong though i'm all for spitting barrels on uninhabited islands, just don't see this happening.
I think this is a pretty bad idea. Sure it has the potential to protect the mainland from wave damage but I think it would create problems that coastal areas would deal with daily: Erosion.
I think man-made islands this close to the coast would act as funnels and strip the existing beaches of their sand faster than the next 100 year hurricane could dream of doing.
I propose that the island chain be extended from Maine down the entire East coast around the tip of Florida and continue along the Gulf coast to where Texas borders Mexico. This will provide multiple benefits to all. Hurricanes and tropical storms will be stopped dead in their tracks. With a bit of 'Merikan ingenuity we could probably keep all the sharks out to sea as well. We can designate these islands as official Piping Plover habitat and do away with that issue too. It will enhance the security of our borders by keeping pirates and brown people on rafts at bay. Lastly, we can relocate the Keystone XL pipeline from the middle of the country to these islands and run it straight to the refineries on the Gulf. No more Negative Nancies screaming NIMBY. It won't be in anybody's back yard! Once we get the Kock brothers behind this thing it is going to fly, I tell ya. I see nothing but win, win, win, win!
This is the stupidest shoreline negineering idea I have ever seen!
This idea is perfect for marooning all these damn midgets we have crawling around here.
it will never happen
An 8 second swell come from hundreds of miles away. The period is determined by how large of a fetch the wind is blowing over. Not how far away it came from. Obviously though ground swells decay less and can come from THOUSANDS of miles away. If you have a good wind fetch for a low pressure system a 100 miles off hatteras, you will get a 8-10 seconds period swell on nj. If you have those islands, you'll get NOTHING. The waves(short period wind swell) will smash into the islands. And it will be a little unrideable chop inside that on nj shore.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By KARL-HEINZ SEBASTIAN
He feels like he's in the dock, facing a sentence from the judge. The wooden bench he's sitting on is cold and hard. Behind the heavy doors, the directors are holding their board meeting. They're already behind schedule; he's been waiting for 45 minutes now. Soon he'll be called in to give his sales report, and to defend the damning accusations: rising raw material costs not duly passed on to customers, and losses of millions of euros. If they find him guilty, his head will roll.
He's had sleepless nights wondering how it could have come to this.
The warning cries had been getting louder for months. Raw material costs had spiraled upward, and the purchasing department had announced bad news so often that people had stopped taking it seriously. Purchasers were accepting price increases more and more frequently to keep deliveries moving and not to endanger the production process. Key account managers were told in no uncertain terms to stop long-term price-fixing. The controlling department forecast a profit slump of up to 50 percent if the rising raw material costs were not passed on immediately and proportionately to customers. It was an absolute nightmare.
Three attempts had been made to raise prices in the last 12 months. His sales team couldn't cope, and the sales figures dropped even further after every price increase. Without convincing sales arguments, internal quality problems became another tricky issue in every negotiation. Customers didn't understand why prices were going up yet again, sales talks failed, and sellers tried to sidestep the price increases by offering credit and refunds under the table. As a result, the rising raw material costs were not passed on to customers. The competitors were at fault for their lack of solidarity. The customers were at fault for not wanting or being able to put up their prices. But the greatest blame, he thought to himself, went to his own board of managers. In a sudden show of muscle, they raised prices by up to 20 percent, but would not tolerate a single lost customer or even the smallest drop in volume. Confidence in the market began to ebb away. The main competitors all struggled with the same problems, but that doesn't help him now.
The door opens and he is called in. But before he can start speaking, a surprise guest arrives. Without telling him, the board has invited the new guy from Controlling to the meeting. Ah, so that's the new pricing manager, he thinks. But what can he possibly know about our situation? And this guy wants to help us? No chance! But we might as well see what he has to say.
"We're caught in a trap, it's called the prisoner's dilemma," says the new pricing manager. "It'll be almost impossible to escape from it on our own." That sounds like a death sentence! "You feel threatened by prices," he tells the board. "You think they're difficult to control and commanded by external factors." But our price development IS threatening, and we CAN'T control it, he thinks. "Stop looking at prices as your enemy. They should be your friends!" What?
"Thirty million euros," continues the new guy. "That's how much profits are predicted to fall if we don't immediately pass on rising costs to our customers, or if we make too many exceptions." His stomach ties itself into a knot. That's exactly what's been happening in the last few weeks. Should he be comforted by the fact that every supplier is facing the same problems? It doesn't matter whether they're backward integrated or have tried to cap raw material costs by fixing their prices; everyone's in the same boat. "If things stay as they are, it'll just be a matter of time before the whole industry is standing at the edge of the abyss." That's the first nightmare over with. But here comes the second: "A supplier raises its prices, but its competitors don't follow. They gain volume, so it looks like they're doing better than before — but they're still losing profits. Now the supplier that increased its prices is in a lose-lose situation: fewer customers, a drop in volume, and a fatal loss of profits." So what happens next? The struggling supplier gives in (trying to make the best of a bad job, he thinks to himself) and lowers its prices (revenge is sweet), but then the others launch a counterattack (more revenge is even sweeter). After a brief but fierce price war, everyone is back to the same sales volume as before, but the overall price level has fallen. The outcome? Lower profits for everybody! "It's a worst-case scenario, but it's highly likely," warns the new pricing expert. I'm starting to like this guy, he thinks, suppressing a smile. Peering over the abyss with everyone else sounds a lot better than my own head rolling down the precipice all by itself. But the managers at the meeting look far from relieved. The silence is deafening. He feels a sudden shiver.
The pricing manager continues undeterred. Before he launches into the next scenario, he reveals its outcome: higher margins and profits. Wait a second, wasn't he just predicting our downfall? And now he wants to save us from our hopeless situation? Still preoccupied with saving his own head, for the next few minutes he follows the conversation only sporadically. Price leadership, preparing the market, price communication, plan B… But when profit growth is mentioned, he is jolted back to full attention. Systematic market preparation clearly reveals the necessity of price increases. When customers are enabled to raise their own prices, market acceptance improves. Prices climb as a result — perhaps not immediately, and perhaps underproportionately. Volume will still fall slightly, but profits will remain stable, and maybe even rise in certain market regions and product segments. Profit growth, he thinks, drifting back into his daydreams. So it really is possible. Price increases for the competitors' key accounts, peaceful competition, negotiation control room… it's too much to take in all at once, but nobody is paying him any attention now. "Yes, this company can boost its profits by up to 15 million euros," concludes the pricing manager. He sits down to the stunned silence of the management board.
"BRRRRRRRRRRRing!" The sudden ringing of his alarm clock rips him out of his sleep. So it wasn't another sleepless night after all. But what was the dream trying to tell him? Might there really be a way out of the situation? Could the nightmare have a happy ending?

Police are appealing for witnesses to a horrific crash in Melbourne's leafy eastern suburbs.
A 24-year-old Maroochydore man is in The Alfred hospital after his car burst into flames, having ploughed through a fence and a pole before smashing into a tree in Toorak on Sunday night.
Police believe it was a single-car crash. Investigators have been told a white Ford Falcon was travelling west on Malvern Road before the driver lost control near Orrong Road hitting a fence, a pole and then a tree before catching on fire about 10.20pm.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze and the man, who was the only person in the car, was taken to The Alfred hospital where he is now in a stable condition.
People with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.
About an hour after the Toorak crash police caught an 18-year-old man driving almost double the speed limit in his father's BMW in Keilor.
The teenager, who had earned his probationary licence two weeks ago, was allegedly travelling at 157km/h on the Calder Freeway between Keilor Park Drive and Green Gully Road, which is an 80km/h zone.
Highway patrol officers from Fawkner immediately impounded the car under hoon legislation. It will be held for 30 days.
Police said the teenager is expected to face court at a later date on a range of traffic-related offences including dangerous speeding.
Police have begun their summer road blitz, warning drivers if they speed or drink or drug drive – the main factors that lead to road trauma – they will be caught.
The Summer Stay campaign will run until January 9.

Hi everyone,Thx for reading. The site is thesatirewire.com (funny ****). Anyway, the boxes to the right (screenwriting, stand-up comedy, movie reviews and funny videos) have no vertical space b/w them in IE. I want a little space. In firefox it looks good. If I type
 after
 the vertical space is obnoxiously big. Hellllllp. Here's the html of one of the boxes if it helps.

 <alt="Relationships" src="http://s1303.photobucket.com.jpg" target="_blank"> </alt="relationships">

One more thing. The "screenwriting" box does not line up exactly with the box to the left, it is a little bit vertically lower. Is there some way to move it up a pinch?
Thx again,Scott
That page could do with a bit of a tidy up (by "bit" I mean a lot )
It looks like you have placed 4px spacer images between those items to make space. You never need to that in CSS - ever!
Remove those spacer images and just apply a margin-bottom to the div to make space. Also set the actual image to display:block to kill the whitespace gaps that inline content has.
.glidim{margin:0 0 4px}
.glidim img{display:block}
The gap at the top is because you have wrapped a p element around the divs (which is not allowed anyway) and the p element comes with default top and bottom margins which is what causes the space.
Remove the p from around all your divs as it is invalid.
I usually set the margin on p elements to only have a bottom margin anyway.
p {margin:0 0 .5em}
Do not use empty elements to make space and don't use images or breaks to make space. Use css instead because that's what it's for
Lastly try to use valid code or at least run the page through the validator to pick up things like typos and invalid nested elements. It's worth it in the end.
Thx. for the reply. I tried what you said, but it didn't work- put the letters from the code, eg. .glidim... on the website itself. The p {margin:0 0 .5em} did the same thing, so, I can live w/ the 4x spacer images, but the "Screenwriting" box being lower vertically than the box to the left, as a pirate with a steering wheel in his pants would say, "R, it's driving me nuts!"
Yes I mentioned that above and its the top margin on the p element that you wrapped the divs in.
After 33,000 posts everything I say works You must have done it wrong.
The p {margin:0 0 .5em} did the same thing,
Did what same thing?
so, I can live w/ the 4x spacer images,
No you can't I won't let you
but the "Screenwriting" box being lower vertically than the box to the left, as a pirate with a steering wheel in his pants would say, "R, it's driving me nuts!"
I've mentioned that twice now so remove the p element, make the changes I suggest and then upload the page and if its not working I will take another look for you.;)
I notice that you have this rule:
.sidebar3 p {
margin: 0;
padding: 7px 10px;
That is affecting the first p on that right column so try changing it to this if you haven't removed the p element by the time you read this
.sidebar3 p {
margin: 0;
[B] padding: 3px 10px 7px;[/B]
I tested locally and it lined the box up for me.
I'm back in the morning and I'll take another look if none of that is working for you.;)
I would like to hop on the css bandwagon, I really do. But me be a noobee when it comes to html. Here's what I did, I copied the first code .glidim{margin:0 0 4px}.glidim img{display:block} then I pasted it over the
 Then I click refresh, and voila, .glidim{margin:0 0 4px}.glidim img{display:block} is written on the webpage. So I'm not sure when you say to apply the code to the div where exactly it should be. Then you said to set the actual image to display:block, but what I heard is, "translate this message into Latin and insert it into the matrix" IOW, I have no idea what this means.
Tere are basically two types of code involved here—HTML and CSS. This is the basic structure of a web page:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Page Title</title>

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 10.30.12
[Ed. Note: Short day today while we slowly rebuild the pieces of our lives i.e. return all these six packs to an acceptable drinking temperature. GODDAMN YOU, SANDY! WHERE'S YOUR SOUL?! Back tomorrow with a hopefully more robust line-up of famous people doing stupid and/or sexy shit. – SW]
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed which I fortunately didn't have to compile from a rescue raft. Today's gallery is a little light and leaned heavily on Britain's Pride Awards, which apparently require crazy eyes and/or mostly exposed breasts to qualify for, so well done, old chaps. We've also got self-styled honorary Brit, Gwyneth Paltrow responding to the suggestion that they donate this food to the homeless, as well as Rosanna Arquette or a midnight shift Waffle House waitress (There's really no way to tell the difference anymore.), and finally, two nice young gentleman helping this old lady who fell and couldn't get up.

Carol's Daughter Tui Herbal Shampoo
This shampoo smells delightful, and the scent lasts all day in my hair. It smells a bit like beer or tea, with some tropical scents (guava, passion fruit, and mango) thrown in. Note: It's not a high lathering shampoo due to the all natural properties. The consistency is on the thin side so I would have love to have had a thin spout on the bottle for better application. Since using this product, my hair looks healthy, fresher and has a nice sheen naturally when it dries.

HALESOWEN'S Jordanne Whiley returned from the USA earlier this week having secured back-to-back women's doubles titles.
Whiley and her partner, South Africa's Kgothatso Montjane, were declared the winners over the weekend at the Pensacola Open, where the circumstances meant they didn't have to play a match to follow up their success two weeks ago at the Cajun Classic.
The second seeds were given a bye into the semi-finals in Pensacola before their scheduled opponents had to withdraw due to injury. With Whiley and Montjane then all set for a rematch of their Cajun Classic final against top seed Lucy Shuker and Jiske Griffioen on Sunday's last day of play, Griffioen was forced to pull out of the doubles final after incurring a back injury during her earlier women's singles final against fellow Dutchwoman Aniek van Koot.
"It's never the way you want to win a match or a tournament and it's certainly a unique situation, but we'll take it and it gives me a fifth successive doubles title for this season," said Whiley, who has consolidated her world number six singles ranking and world number 3 doubles ranking during the two tournaments in Louisiana and Florida.
With Friday's third day of play in Pensacola cancelled due to heavy rain, Whiley started the weekend with a singles semi-final against world number four Van Koot. The British number one had dropped just four games and won two sets 6-0 during the course of her first two matches against Dutchwoman Michaela Spaanstra and Emmanuelle Morch of France, but second seed van Koot provided a bigger challenge and eventually advanced 6-2, 6-2 before winning the final against Griffioen.
Whiley and her London 2012 bronze medal-winning partner Shuker are among the players on the Tennis Foundation's Wheelchair Tennis Performance Programme heading to a Player Performance Camp in La Manga, Spain, later this week as the leading Brits prepare for more elite level tournaments in South Africa and the USA in late April and May.

I had no computer for more than a month and had no energy to try and get here with my blackberry. But wow, I missed a lot!
People. Please read my OP. My question was: "why is there no comments in the gallery."
Not: Why do you guys on your high horses think that every comment has to be a critique?
What about a simple 'I love your glaze, shape, ... (what ever you like about the piece) And if you think that the piece is dog shite, do not enlarge the image ... lol
Honestly. Seriously. this is a laugh. (Ok, I have to admit that I am pooped. I have orders coming out of my ears after a very good Designer Week with lots of local and International orders and have been working a 7 day week since the beginning of January except for the week that I was crawling around on my hands and knees after a very bad back complaint that got me in ER and Morphine and what not .)
You guys are fighting about the merits of getting down that high horse to comment on some newbie's work. You were once (many moons ago) a newbie. But you know what? sometimes encouragement is good. Stop being arses and think that you are to high and mighty to acknowledge some idiot that is trying to dare play with clay. I mean, how dare they?
Well, that is how a lot of you are coming across.
I know where I am in ceramics. But then I am lucky enough to share studio space with other potters and have contact with more that live in my city. Peers that I idolise and look up to. and if they buy my work for their private collections, that says enough for me.
What I am trying to say is this. A lot of you are spending a lot of time on this site. Use some of that time constructively in being a little bit more human and give. Some old guy gave you encouragement years and eons ago. Pass it forward!
Now I am off to look at the gallery and yes, I will comment on stuff that I like.
Edited to add: I have a major fail on visiting the gallery ... Could only look at a couple of images. the rest just refuse to open. Ugh.
Hi there couldnt agree more! T

US Vogue may have been able to present itself as a champion of the economic recovery via Fashion's Night Out, the now-annual, global, celebrity-and-champagne-fueled "shopping extravaganza" that was launched as a recession-busting initiative to supposedly get everyone out of their budget funk and into stores to buy! Buy! Buy! again, but tonight UK Vogue is tossing their own Philip Treacy number into the glossy ring. Their big idea: Fashion's Night In. Instead of going to a store, you get to sit in the comfort of your own home and go on-line to shop for extra special, one-night-only thingamabobs! Sounds good to me. And when it comes to getting people to spend money, smart. Potentially very lucrative. Read more

U.S. wheat futures rose for the fourth day in a row Thursday, rallying above $9 a bushel to a near six-week high, as traders staked out positions ahead of a government report expected to show tightening global supplies. Soybean futures fell, pressured by declining export demand, and pulled corn prices lower, traders said.
The market's focus remained on wheat as expectations of smaller crops in places like Argentina and Australia, coupled with dry conditions in key growing areas of the U.S. Plains, provided support to a commodity that has been stuck in a narrow trading range for months.
Wheat bulls were hopeful that problems with the crop overseas could boost demand for U.S. supplies on the export market.
"People should be buying it," said Jerry Gidel, analyst for Rice Dairy. "It is a bargain here. The world's normal exporters ... do not have a lot of excess supplies."
CBOT December soft red winter wheat futures ended up 8-1/2 cents at $9.02-1/2 a bushel. Prices peaked at $9.05, their highest level since Sept. 28.
CBOT wheat has risen 4.3 percent this week, its biggest four-day rally since August.
January soybean futures were 11-1/4 cents lower at $14.95-3/4 a bushel, the benchmark contract's first close below $15 since Oct. 16. CBOT December corn dropped 3 cents to $7.41-1/4 a bushel.
The U.S. Agriculture Department said early on Thursday that weekly export sales of soybeans were at their lowest point in 16 months. Net soybean export sales of 191,900 tonnes were well below forecasts for 600,000 to 800,000 tonnes and included a cancellation of 545,600 tonnes from an unknown country.
"Cancellations in export sales in soybeans certainly will not go unnoticed," said Greg Wagner, president of GWX - Ag Advisors. "It begs the questions as to whether or not the market's poor price performance ... might in fact partly reflect a nervousness regarding future cancellations."
A firm dollar, which makes investors less likely to stock their portfolios with risky assets such as grains and reduces the need to buy commodities as a hedge against inflation, added further pressure on corn and soybeans.
Analysts expect the USDA will boost its forecast for U.S. corn and soybean yields in its monthly supply and demand report. Field reports from harvest indicate the damage from the worst drought to hit the Midwest in more than 50 years was not as bad as initially feared.
USDA also was seen cutting its global wheat stocks forecast for the second month in a row due to weather-related problems in key growing areas such as Ukraine, Australia and Argentina.
"At some point, this winter wheat business is going to shift back to the U.S. That time is getting pretty close," a wheat trader on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade said.
Australia, the world's second-largest wheat exporter, is expecting a much smaller crop this year, with early harvest showing lower protein scales and poor yields. Traders said rains forecast over the nation's east coast could slow the harvest.
Australia's wheat exports may shrink to 16.85 million tonnes, the lowest in three years, according to a survey of analysts in a Reuters poll.
Asia's top buyers, who rely on Australia for the bulk of their milling wheat supplies, may be forced to import larger volumes of high-protein spring wheat from the United States and Canada.

a bubble bath with Alison...... yes, please.
Yaaaaiiii! Bobo is back :)
Someone get Maggie!! I gotta see what's next!
it got a slow start like all marvel tv shows does,but its amazing and its setting up for the new punisher and iron fist season 2.
No criticism, but i'd die if i had watched them all at one, dilutes the plot and characters and leaves nothing for you when its all over. I couldn't handle that. Its NOT a movie or meant to be…….Radi
If anyone watched them strait through without pacing the action, you'll be waiting a year to see the next one. The Sheriff has spoken Radi
A surprise twist? So they do know how to write. Color me surprised
Absolutely fantastic, hooked throughout the entire series and made it through the entire thing just today. I don't know why people simply think it's 'okay' cause I think its amazing!
Subs for the different languages would've been helpful. I don't really speak Japanese, Chinese, Russian etc.
Awesome through the first two episodes. A bit slow though.
please add a 720p openload.co vid
please upload a 720P or higher version
Fucking morons posted the wrong episode
Fake links
Come on... will ya check please before uploading an episode. This is ep 4 bro...
in reply to Kyndryd, that wouldnot have worked, the white walkers are not weak to fire, infact they directy counter effect it, its only the zombie mindless army that is hurt by fire. The white walkers weakness have only been shown to be dragonglass and valyrian steel so far, but im pretty sure there's dragonglass in valyrian steel, although it hasnt been confirmed yet. Also after seeing 1 white walker throw, take out a dragon, why would you give him chance to do the same to another?
Can we get this person banned for uploading incorrect episode.
Watched here http://mywatchseries.to/serie/Cracked
This website is excellent, so when someone asked for a link, I--mistakenly--assumed it was because there was not a working one here, as has been the case with Twin Peaks-The Return. So I checked the first site in a very old list (P*******r), and there was the episode. The final comment was semi-sarcastic, but to be fair not everyone has good search skills, and I'd rather help than criticize. (And management can of course delete anything it finds troubling...)
yup, yup...keep posting links to rival websites lol! Here's new,interesting TV show, that nobody here cared to add. Good website btw, they have complete Preacher season there,. Guys honestly, links aren't hard to find if one has basic searching skills. http://fmovies.is/film/trust-me.pjrp6
Radiation Boy, http://www.watchfree.to/tv-2a61b2-Preacher-tv-show-online-free-putlocker.html/season-2-episode-3. Indeed hard to find.
RadiationBoy, I've got link for you: google.com, you bloody moron! Do you also want me to ask your mother to come here and wipe your ass?
Anyone got a working link for preacher so2 e03? Please post a link, i've scoured the web and found nothing. Much appreciated Radi
I know, I know.. it's NOT in the script BUT dammit... all Daeny had to do was cricle the 2 dragons back around and DECIMATE the entire army, generals AND Winter King. POOF - no more winter.
scary is having to wait a week to see who wins.
Every episode in both seasons of cracked goes to my collection.net and they are all broken.Someone should put these up or just take it down!!!

Allah has revealed in the Qur'an that superiority among people rests solely upon godliness (Surat al-Hujurat, 13). In societies in which such elements as faith, fear of Allah and proper morality are ignored, the criteria by which superiority is measured are rather different. These people imagine that superiority lies with the most prominent members of society and can be acquired with the acquisition of goods and property, recognition or fame. Since this perspective is generally shared by most members of such a society, those without goods and property are generally thought of as "inferior" to those who are wealthy and enjoy wide circles of acquaintance.
The manner in which people treat those around them in such societies, the decisions they take, the way they evaluate events, and the conclusions they draw from them are all directly related to the perspective they hold. For that reason, it is impossible to speak of a true idea of justice among people who act in the light of that conception.
Such a thing is out of the question for those who have faith. Believers always act by taking the moral values revealed by Allah in the Qur'an as their yardstick. They therefore always attach the greatest weight to justice and truth. They do not judge people according to worldly values but according to whether they have the requisite fear of Allah and to their moral values. They favor not the powerful and those with material means but always what is right and those in the right. They make no concessions on justice, even if this works against them and those closest to them. They decide not according to earthly values but in the manner ordained by Allah, Who has revealed the yardstick regarding justice in the Qur'an thus:
You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives. Whether they are rich or poor, Allah is well able to look after them. Do not follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist or turn away, Allah is aware of what you do. (Surat an-Nisa', 135)2009-06-02 01:43:28

80 — By Capt. Ken Kreisler —
Natural Evolution
|The Millennium 80 is the next step forward in big-boat speed and luxury.
I had to do it again. Then twice more to finally convince myself that a 92,000-pound, 80-foot yacht with a fair amount of gear aboard, powered by a pair of 1,350-hp MTU 12V2000 diesels, could get up to a WOT of almost 35 mph in about 32 seconds. "Come on, Cap," I said to the company's captain as we settled the big boat down after the third run and idled her along in the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway off Riviera Beach, Florida. "Let's do that again, this time just for the fun of it."
Not that the first three times weren't a hoot. I mean, getting a vessel like the Millennium 80 Superyacht up and going during my sea trial while collecting her performance data was indeed a rush. But I was genuinely hooked on the kind of force I was able to unleash by the mere motion of my right hand effortlessly sliding forward those MTU Elektronik control levers.
But when you consider that business partners and lifelong boaters John Staluppi and John Rosatti are the forces behind Millennium Yachts, things become a lot clearer. Let me give you some background information so that you can get a handle on this boat's development from vision to reality.
Staluppi and Rosatti made their nautical presences known in the 1980's with the likes of Octopussy (143 feet), Moonraker (116 feet), and Thunderball (116 feet), sleek, fast, and some of the few yachts of the time that combined impressive styling with sportboat-class performance. "I guess it all started in the days we used to race Cigarettes," said Staluppi as he, Rosatti, and I sat in the main deck saloon of the 80. The pair went on to purchase several sportfishing boats, always going bigger and faster, then started to discuss what they thought was missing in the boat business. "We decided to create something that we felt would be more suitable not only for our type of use, but for others who were also looking for something different," added Staluppi.
Armed with a vision of luxurious, very fast yachts, they hired Dutch designer Frank Mulder to draw Moonraker and Octopussy and had them built in Norway and the Netherlands, respectively. Thunderball was designed and built by Denison in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Their vision was rewarded when Octopussy was clocked at a top speed of more than 53 knots and a cruise speed of 50 knots, while Moonraker's top speed of 66.7 knots and cruise of 58 knots made her the world's fastest megayacht in 1992.
Not content to sit on their success, the partners looked to take the next step in their nautical development. "We decided we would build a series of boats from 80 up to 150 feet, and given that we liked the results we achieved from the Mulder drawings of the past, we had him draw all the boats," Staluppi says. "We built the first Millennium, a 75, for ourselves and used it as a prototype for about a year before deciding to go into production on the 80," adds Rosatti. After tank-testing models of the larger boat, they felt the longer hull would help them get the 30-plus-mph speeds they were looking for.
Therefore, of particular interest was how that Mulder hull gets up and goes so effortlessly. So I went to the source. "We just do our best to get a very efficient, meaning low drag, hull," says Mulder. "In many designs, the middle speed area--say 25 knots--is forgotten. That area is important to us, since it gives you the margin between thrust and drag which creates acceleration."

When you develop a custom interface for an upgraded Adobe LiveCycle ES server, you can encounter problems referencing initial tasks for a process. Initial tasks must correctly show the audit history for processes in your custom interface, much the same as Workspace displays them in the tracking view.
In the TB_TASK table in the database, a start_task flag set to "1" appears for initial tasks from a process started through the TaskManager endpoint. However, for some initial tasks, this flag is set to "0."
This behavior is as designed. Start_task is an ES concept that doesn't come into play when anything from LiveCycle 7 is involved. Any tasks migrated from LiveCycle 7, and any tasks started in Workspace with a LiveCycle 7 init-form definition in use, have a start_task value of "0."
To determine whether a task is an initial task in all cases, locate the task that doesn't have an action instance. That is, one where the action_instance_id=null or zero. If the process instance ID has a value, but the action instance ID doesn't, then it's an initial task.

Neurofibromatosis Type II (or "MISME Syndrome", for "Multiple Inherited Schwannomas, Meningiomas, and Ependymomas") is an inherited disease. The main manifestation of the disease is the development of symmetric, non-malignant brain tumours in the region of the cranial nerve VIII, which is the auditory nerve that transmits sensory information from the inner ear to the brain. Most people with this condition also experience problems in their eyes. NF II is caused by mutations of a gene which probably influences the form and movement of cells. The principal treatments consist of neurosurgical removal of the tumors and surgical treatment of the eye lesions. There is no therapy for the underlying disorder of cell function caused by the genetic mutation.
Incidence, Mode of transmission, EpidemiologyEdit
NF II is an inheritable disorder with an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. Incidence of the disease is about 1 in 35,000. There is a broad clinical spectrum known, but all patients checked have been found to have the same mutation of a gene on chromosome 22. It is suspected that statistically, one half of cases are inherited, and one half are the result of new, de novo mutations.
Pathogenesis, Molecular Biology and pathophysiological relationsEdit
