Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman Named "Truthdigger of the Week" for Bahrain Coverage
Amy Goodman caught Truthdig's attention last week for her coverage of the crisis in Bahrain, which might readily have been pitched to American audiences as a story worthy of coverage as part of last year's Arab Spring, with a familiar arc involving protesters rising up against a dictatorial regime, were it not for the United States' specific military and business (read: oil) interests in the region.

"I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." So proclaimed Alabama Gov. George Wallace more than half a century ago. With this week's U.S. Supreme Court decision supporting Michigan's ban against affirmative action in state university admissions, and with the increasing resegregation of schools, it seems like Wallace's dream of "segregation forever" may be alive and all too well.

For most of the last century, Western nations subscribed to the economic doctrine of one John Maynard Keynes, who defined the role of the national government in times of crisis as injecting money through aid and projects to put people to work and get cash flowing in the channels of commerce.
Through the inflationary peaks and recessions, the policy worked fairly well but it created a national debt that grew like topsy, no matter what. Now, the combined collapse of much of our financial industry and that accumulated total indebtedness threatens to leave millions of Americans jobless and our consumerist society broken.
The classic solution is to send money from Washington to state and local governments to fund projects that will employ workers and get cash into their hands for spending. In 2009, the Obama administration passed a "stimulus" bill and sent the checks out. Unfortunately the recipients in local and state government had other priorities and much of the money went to "preserving" current spending on police, teachers and such, all of which may have been desirable but did not create any new jobs, leaving the jobless rate at unacceptable numbers in an election year. Republicans are already claiming that the stimulus package did no good and only cutting spending can save the nation. The Democrats want a second stimulus bill before fall and hope that delayed spending from the first effort will kick in before November.
Any new bill had better restrict tax investment to projects that are both "shovel ready" and create new hiring if the politics can be overcome. There is no shortage of needed projects, from repair and improvements of our half-century old highway system and local freeways to new railroads and urban transit. These jobs will serve the nation, not just local interests.
Programs under the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and mines and minerals might put massive crews of the post-high school jobless into the woods to clear brush and fire hazard overgrowth. Urban clean up of derelict properties for low income housing and such would do much to help the highest unemployed communities.
There are plenty of ways to spend and create work, if only the pols would stand aside from their partisan wrangling and get the jobs done.
Until that happens, shifting money from federal to local control will continue to be an exercise in fiscal masturbation, satisfying for a moment but ultimately a wasted effort at productivity.

Summary of Skin Summary of Skin Reviews for Skin An Excerpt from Skin
A beautiful reporter. A secret ritual in a graveyard. A disembodied hand on the side of the road. Mike Hammer returns in one of the most shocking cases of his storied career.
Private Investigator Mike Hammer may be getting older, but he hasn't lost his step. So when he spots a brutally destroyed corpse on the side of the road in upstate New York, unrecognizable as human except for the disembodied hand lying next to it, there's no question of him not taking the case. Especially when Melodie Anderson, the stunning young reporter determined to investigate, goes missing. But as Mike sifts through Melodie's leads in a race to find her before it's too late, he discovers a murder method more horrible than anything he's ever come across… and one that neither he nor Melodie may be able to escape.
A short story begun by the late icon Mickey Spillane and completed by his long-time collaborator Max Allan Collins, Skin is a heart-pounding addition to the world of Mike Hammer.

Link to Gravis is wrong that points to the joystick manufacturer. The proper url is:
Posted by Dizzy on July 21, 2004 at 10:50 AM (PDT)
The one on the website looks like it's leather ( and hideous ), and I'm not talking about the G-Pod BB ( I understand that one is supposed to be leather ).. There is no little black lines that makes it look like nylon on their website. Strange.
Posted by Josh on July 21, 2004 at 1:43 PM (PDT)
Hmmmm Does anyone make cases in this price range with similar materials, but not camo? Thanks.
Posted by Eric on July 21, 2004 at 2:42 PM (PDT)
Cool.. I want one! Now to find out where they sell them in Australia.......
Posted by camson in Melbourne, Australia on July 21, 2004 at 2:48 PM (PDT)
im confused.......
this iste shows it as being made out of a cloth, where as the gravis site shows it as being leather.....
as josh says...the leather looks grross and i would very much perfer the cloth version
so..which one does gravis distribute?!?!?!
Posted by ronin on July 21, 2004 at 3:38 PM (PDT)
Before we went to print, we actually contacted Gravis about the photo on their site, which is/was inaccurate. They've said they'll fix it, as there is no camouflage leather G-Pod; they opted to go with nylon instead.

What's the point of getting a super slim iPod and sticking it in a case that makes it twice as thick?
Posted by br- on July 21, 2004 at 7:43 PM (PDT)
i don't like the camo
Posted by mike on July 21, 2004 at 8:12 PM (PDT)
Maybe to protect it? A smaller case can't offer the same kind of protection that a beefier case can. As far as the case, it's pretty cool looking in my opinon. The camo is growing on me, should see though when i get it.
Posted by suka on July 21, 2004 at 10:32 PM (PDT)
That seems like a very good case. Like the camo, and the thickness doesnt bother me. i�ll try to find it here in norway.
Posted by graks on July 21, 2004 at 11:30 PM (PDT)
anyone know where i can but this in the UK? or someone who will ship to the UK?
Posted by gameon on July 21, 2004 at 11:37 PM (PDT)
sigh. can't ANYONE design a nice ipod case?
Posted by mitch on July 22, 2004 at 2:51 AM (PDT)
Hey Everybody,
I just wanted to say thanks for all your comments. I wanted to touch on a couple of questions real quick for some of you...The G-Pod photo on our site is actually wrong. The correct fabric is a nylon rib-stop that is highly durable. I would also like to add that for the ones who aren't really feeling the camo, we have some solid colors coming out soon too...If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to send me an email. I'll try best to answer your questions in a reasonable time. If you are wondering who I am or what I do at Gravis, I'm responsible for designing all the bags and accessories. Thanks again for the support!
Posted by Douglas Davidson on July 22, 2004 at 2:56 AM (PDT)
Being a boarder I dig Gravis. Got the Gravis cell block for my DV-cam and their passport document case both in camo. I have been using one of their smaller cellbocks (minidisc size) for my ipod but it doesn't quite fit.
Only problem is that their UK distribution is patchy. I had to hunt high and low to get the stuff I already got.
I can see this being a popular product but what will UK distribution be like for it? Are they going to push it out further than one or two that you can order via Snowboard shops?
Where can I buy one online?
Posted by hanuman on July 22, 2004 at 3:12 AM (PDT)
Try stopping by these stores for the G-pod in the UK. If you have trouble finding it, tell me...
Posted by Douglas Davidson in living out of my suitcase! on July 22, 2004 at 4:16 AM (PDT)
That looks great.. looks like I've finally found a case that I'll actually use. (my iSkin wasnt in use for long lol)
I like the version in the pics here than on the Gravis site, but nevermind. The camo is cool, and this looks like a better designed case than the DC one. It will be mine!
Posted by Sypher on July 22, 2004 at 4:27 AM (PDT)
Hi Everyone,
I bought one of these earlier in the week and I thought i'd add my comments and thoughts.
Also, I'm in Australia, and if anyone else is interested in getting one, you should check General Pants stores, they're the only store I could find that stocked them.
The Look: The nylon camo design really grows on you. Your doubts will be gone once you actually hold it in your hand, and feel how strong and durable it is. It also happens to look hella cool because the colours are fairly muted and subtle. I'd also agree that it'd be a great case for boarders and active people. The red gravis logo is a great touch.
The fit: I was worried that the 20 might be really loose, however the case holds the ipod very firmly, there is no chance it's going to fall out. I don't know how you'd go with a 30-40gig version.. it'd be a tight fit. As far as the button holes lining up, they fit perfectly on mine.
The Clip: The clip is the STRONGEST clip i've EVER used. It's so strong that I had a little bit of trouble to get it on my belt! I feel very safe that my precious ipod isn't going to come off. It would easily hold onto a bag strap, or pants or even a just a shirt. I think it's metal, so it's not likely to snap at any time in the future.
Design: I am very happy with the useability of the case. The dock and headphone jacks are easily accessible without having to open the case. The iTrip can be used just by opening the flap. The only time you'd want to remove it is to use the dock. I used to use the dock all the time, however however, now I dont think i'll be using much at all! As far as being fairly thick, I dont believe it adds any more bulk than say the apple case did and the belt clip is at lot thinner and doesn't add much to the bulk. The screen and buttons are easy to see through the clear plastic over the front. It's good to see that they opted to protect the screen instead of leaving the case open on the inside.
All in all, this is a GREAT case. I'm VERY happy with it. What makes it even better is the price!! $15USD or $30AUD retail! If you're not a fan of the skin type of cases, and want a strong, good looking and protective case to keep your ipod in, then I think you really won't regret getting one. Good work Gravis!

R. Kelly – Kelly's 12-Play (Remix) Lyrics
[R. Kelly]
Ay, listen to my demo, oh!
That's the sound of the bed when it's tweakin' with you and me in it
The passion, the sex, girl, sex like a clinic
Especially when we put on that bump 'n grind
That 12-Play get that boy some pussy every time
There's something about that shit when we put that shit on
And not to mention when you mix that shit with some Patron
That's why she keep pursuin' it
She love how I'm doin' it
Cause shorty scream like, "Aaah!" like I got two in it
And you don't have to wonder
Twelve's the magic number
Just count from one to twelve, and I'll be going under
Making your body shake like a horror movie (Hit it, hit it!)
It ain't no secret why I be king 'til I die
12-Play deserves a Grammy, because I believe I can fly
I believe that your mommy and daddy laid it down, and they did it
To Kelly's 12-Play
[Hook: The-Dream]
You can't ruin it
From doin' it to Kelly's 12-Play
Like a DJ we screwin' it
While we doin' it (ooh-ooh-in' it) to Kelly's 12-Play
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh!
We gon' come up off that bed, push up to the dresser... yeah, yeah, yeah
Now we're all up on my CD player up
Skip, skip, skip-skip, skip-skip back to seven
And we both sweatin' it out like it's a fire up in here
Reach my hand up to the remote, gotta play that one more gear
As we repeat steps 1 through 12
She's like, "Thank you, Dream!"
I'm like, "No, thank you, Kells!"
So I stunt like my daddy up in here
Girl, you got my lips hangin' off your ear
Clean the CD, check for scratches, get up on my mattress
And now we doin' it to Kelly's 12-Play
[R. Kelly]
Ah, ah, I say we doin' it... k-k-killa! (Killa!)
I am the best at what I do
So close the door and let me show you
I got my tongue all up in it like (leetle-leetle-leetle-leetle-leetle)
Now, I'ma make you change your notes like (leetle-leetle-leetle-leetle-leetle)
Do you like that? Do you like this?
Then tell me how does this feel?
Girl, my only aim's to please your body
I'ma sing to that puss, make it sing right back to me
We can be a duet, we've got that kind of chemistry
And if I smoke grass, baby, I'mma light one up cause that was by far the greatest... (fuck)
'Bout to get that ass up to bidness up in here, 'bout to get your man fired up in here
Because... are you fiendin' for it? And I'm 'bout to run up in it!
So don't hate, listen to my mixtape
And if you wanna know, my favorite's number four on Kelly's 12-Play

David Backes has become an absolute darling in the world of fantasy hockey and I will not lie I hopped on board that train three seasons ago and nearly rode it to a championship. I have been on that train ever since and I really have not been disappointed. Here is the problem I am having though. The hype machine may be swirling to unsustainable levels. Right now you'll find Backes as the 46th ranked skater in Yahoo! Leagues and is being drafted on average as the 50th skater so you are seeing some course correction being made by poolies but even 50th overall is a little high, at least when you consider where some other players are dropping. Consider, for instance, Scott Hartnell, who is the 68th ranked skater and is being drafted (on average) even later as the 93rd best skater. When I see numbers like this I see poolies who are in need of guidance because there is very little reason to take Backes so much higher than Hartnell. In fact, there is a case that Hartnell should go higher. Don't believe me? Well then come along for the ride because this week's Cage Match is Backes vs. Hartnell in a battle of the roto-studs.
So just why on earth would one consider taking Hartnell over Backes? Well the simple answer is that LW is the scarcer of the two positions so being able to fill that LW spot sooner is an advantage. To really grasp the value of this would require more specifics about your given league and with all the variations of even simply league size it just doesn't seem proper to delve any deeper. So maybe your team has tremendous balance already, is there still merit in snagging Hartnell before Backes? That is what I intend to prove.
Taking a look at the averages for each player over the last three seasons:
Backes will give you a mild advantage in Goals and SOG while giving up an advantage in PIM. Both Plus/Minus and PPP are too close to call and Assists were dead on. All in all, this looks close but you'd probably concede that, based on these averages, Backes is the slightly better player but probably not worth 43 spots in the draft so that alone needs correcting. Looking even deeper though will have you questioning whether or not Backes has an advantage at all.
First of all, let us look at PIM. Over the past three seasons Hartnell has posted 143, 155, and 142 PIM respectively. Backes' PIM, on the other hand, show a steady decline dropping from his career high of 165 in 2008-09 all the way down to last season's 93. Backes' responsibility is on the rise, especially with the trade of Team Captain Eric Brewer at last year's trade deadline. Backes will most certainly wear a letter and is a prime candidate to sport the "C". As has happened to other multi-cat studs like Brenden Morrow, being named captain will cause an even larger drop in PIM production. Hartnell has no such worries. I swear he has sawdust between his ears. That is awesome for poolies though, it means his PIM numbers are not going anywhere. That stands as a small advantage now but should grow as time goes along.
The next category that deserves further analysis is Plus/Minus, This is quite possibly the most fickle of all skater categories, so much so that I have considered abolishing it from my pools. Backes Plus-32 last season was a complete aberration. He is a fine defensive player on a solid team but Plus-32 is not normal. The Blues as a team were a mere Plus-6 in Goals-For/Goals-Against differential so it is almost inconceivable a player would pull off Backes' Plus/Minus total. Without last year's total Backes would be a career minus player. Hartnell, on the other hand, plays for a perennial contender. His modest Plus/Minus totals are much more reasonable and sustainable than what Backes just pulled off. Even giving Backes the benefit of the doubt as a strong two-way player on an up and coming team does not make up for the disparity between last year's production and what you would expect. I am much more confident about Hartnell's Plus/Minus production going forward.
I also have my doubts about Backes' point production. The first issue I have is goals and it is a minor one. It seems that Backes is one of those strange players who are more accurate when they increase their shot volume. In both 2008-09 and 2010-11 Backes fired over 200 SOG and registered shooting percentages of 14.9% and 14.7% respectively leading to two 31-goal seasons. Meanwhile, in 2007-08 and 2009-10 Backes fired less than 200 SOG and registered shooting percentages of 10.1% and 10.7% respectively leading to two seasons worth of Goal totals in the teens. It truly is feast or famine with Backes when it comes to his goal scoring. He is either overly accurate, thus ever more so productive, or he is overly inaccurate, proceeding to shoot even less compounding his lack of productivity. The real question here is will the real David Backes please stand up?
Assuming that his propensity for shots and therefore goals coincides with his offensive opportunities, it is then important to look at whether or not Backes is being used optimally. The answer is an unfortunate no. After the arrival of Chris Stewart at the trade deadline last season, Backes' power play minutes fell as he was to the second unit. With all the young talent on the way Backes will have an even tougher time contending for prime offensive minutes and even just the return of many of the Blues' injured players should continue to impact Backes ability to produce points. It is worth noting that Backes' fourth quarter last season was his second most productive netting 17 points over the final 23 games but typically a reduction in powerplay ice time leads to a reduction in productivity. If nothing else I would become very skeptical of Backes' ability to produce in the PPP category.
Now we have spent plenty of time knocking Backes down a peg or two, and really that is all one would need to accomplish if they were seeking to prove that Backes is grossly overrated but we are looking at this with specific regard to how Hartnell fits into that state of overration. So is Backes actually overrated and can we prove that Hartnell is simultaneously underrated or are their chinks in Hartnell's armor as well such that in the end both players are properly rated in relation to each other?
I happen to believe Hartnell's stats should hold up over time. Just as with Backes, age is not a factor for the 29-year-old Hartnell (Backes is 27 for what it's worth), so there should be no worries of a steep decline in that regard. We have already discussed that Hartnell's PIM totals are holding steady and a quick look at his recent history will show his SOG totals are very consistent as well.
Unlike Backes, Hartnell is not in danger of losing any of his ice time. In four seasons with Philadelphia he has never averaged fewer than 15:43 minutes per game or 2:21 powerplay minutes per game. Furthermore, in spite of the vast changes made in Philly this offseason, Hartnell has maintained his spot on the depth chart as LW2. His chemistry with Flyers centerman Danny Briere will ensure that Hartnell's minutes stay up. He played over 80% of his shifts with Briere last season so it is a combination they should not break up.
Finally, to completely scrutinize Hartnell we should examine his shooting percentage numbers. Hartnell has a career shooting percentage of 10.7% but since the lockout his shooting has been much more efficient at 12.7%. In fact, only one season stands out as a true aberration to Hartnell's shooting efficiency and that was in 2009-10 when Hartnell's shooting was drastically below average at 8.2%. Naturally, that season he recorded his fewest goals since the lockout (14) and it was the only season he failed to record over 20 in that same span.
Hartnell is as you see him. His numbers speak for themselves. He should produce no more and no less than his recent averages suggest and that is something you can take to the bank. It seems strange that Hartnell would be underrated for this but that is in fact the case. At his age there really is not much upside or room for improvement so he lacks the sexiness of a more youthful pick but his production is quite solid across the board and more importantly it is reliable, which is more than can be said for Backes'. This really is the classic Tortoise vs. the Hare storyline all over again. Poolies have latched onto the fresh new thing (Backes) and he has rewarded them with quick gains. The problem is that Backes has outran his coverage (to turn this into a metaphor within a metaphor) and has nowhere to go but down. Hartnell meanwhile is doing the same thing he's always done; plod along providing poolies with very reasonable production at a reliable rate of return.
One final thought, and this is something that drives me insane. Last season Backes took 1138 faceoff draws, ranking him 41st in the league. This is not characteristic of a RW. The people at Yahoo! may disagree with that fact for now but it is absolutely asinine that Backes continues to maintain RW eligibility and is even more absurd that he does not, at the very least, have center eligibility as well (Dobber's note: Yahoo! policy is to wait for the official NHL designation. It frustrates Yahoo! as well, that the NHL takes so long to fix their designations - Major League Baseball is much faster (i.e. 10 games in MLB at a position and they add the designation - hockey doesn't have that)). The point of this rant is this; do not count on Backes continuing to be a RW in keeper leagues. He should be moved exclusively to the center position in the future and that will only serve to lower his relative value further. All the more reason to take Hartnell, whether in a one-year league or a keeper I prefer what Hartnell has to offer. Go Tortoise!
steve laidlaw said:
Chad, I feel that positions are more or less dictated by where you start on the draw. Hockey is fluid enough that forwards are going to move around a lot. It is blatantly obvious that Backes has been playing center for a long time. The Zetterberg example is a good one, and it is actually one that has annoyed me for a while. When Datsyuk and Zetterberg play together Zetterberg has always been the one taking the majority of the draws yet he is the one who has always had LW eligibility. Theirs is a case where you could justify granting them both dual eligibility as Yahoo! did last season because they move around in the lineup enough to warrant it. Ultimately my point is that Backes is a center and eventually pool providers will all catch on. In keeper leagues this is important because a move hurts his value. It's a matter of when not if.
David, for what it is worth I actually think I knocked Backes down a peg or two in this article and maybe just maybe I'll have you on the Hartnell train.
Mjlees, I don't like to expand my analyses beyond the standard 6x4 setup that you will find in many leagues. That is why I don't include things like Hits and FOW but they are definitely game changers. In that setup Backes wins by a landslide. Now being on CBS does change the perspective a bit because as you mentioned Backes is properly listed as a centerman. I think even with relative values considered I would take Backes in that setup but it is again a lot closer than I think Hartnell receives credit for.
I disagree with your statement that St. Louis was one of the worst teams in the league though. Their record doesn't do them much justice and even if you rated them only on that record there were still 10 teams worse than them last season. That's a third of the league and a sizable portion. Take it one step further and look at the actual goals for/against numbers where St. Louis was a +6 for the season. That would put them 16th in the league ahead of two playoff teams (Anaheim and Phoenix) and would have them in the playoffs if that was the measure. What that indicates is they were a bit unlucky and definitely hindered by playing in the toughest division in hockey.
Also my point about Backes' Plus/Minus stands and that is that it is an abberation. It is not something you can count on him maintaining year after year. It was awesome last year, but lighting won't strike twice.

I am one those knuckleheads who continuously under-values Hartnell. I love the analysis you provided as well in the cage match articles.
Keep up the great work!
Chad Burly said:
Last year when Zetterberg and Datsyuk were on the same line, Z would take the draw, then shift over to the left. So the majority of his Time on the Ice (during those shifts) were on the left side. Who cares if he took the faceoff because of dats wrist issues? Meaningless stat in that particular case. Now, before you jump on me. Zetts also played Center full time many many shifts. I'm just saying, don't put too much weight on draws making someone a center.

Renton >Food & Dining > Papa John's Pizza
4710 Ne 4th St, Renton, WA | Directions 9805947.488636 -122.155521
Mon-Sun: 10am-9:40pm
Bad Papa!! – This is my experience and why I go 4 blocks to Little Caesars. I order a large free pizza with a code I have off the internet. After 40 min I show up to my surprise they dont have my pizza ready and tell me it will be fresh being the fact they have not even started my pie. So I wait over 50 min in the small waiting area watching person after person leave with there pizza's as my wife and daughter wait in the car. Then FINALLY another representative asked me what the name is on the order....she looks and lets me know there is NO pie being made under my name. So they throw one in RIGHT AWAY! They tell me that it did not show up on there computer that I ordered a pizza...REALLY??? so I got told to wait for a fictitious pizza for 55 min?? Then after I get my pizza over an hour later I ask for a comp. card of some sort, this is when Jennifer the manager gets mad at me and points out its my fault it did not show up on the computer I must have entered something wrong so why would they comp. it? After a small verbal fight I receive my comp. card. WHO THE HELL FIGHTS WITH A CUSTOMER???IT is very hard to use this card as the pizza I got was not even cut, the crust was detaching itself from the rest of the pizza in embarrassment. I have lived 1 mile from this store for over 11 years and this is how a neighbor gets treated? GOTO Little Caesars if you want a good quality pizza!!!!
The Subway of takeout pizza joints embraces fresh ingredients and store-made crusts. – In Short
These bright white storefronts are accented with green and red details and photos of the chain's boyish founder. The simple menu focuses on standard pies and chicken-centric specialty pizzas--the Hawaiian BBQ, BBQ chicken, and bacon and chicken club--each topped with fresh ingredients like baby portobello mushrooms and roma tomatoes. A selection of sides includes bread sticks, cheese sticks, chicken strips and a handful of dipping sauces.

HLBRW is an acronym for Hogwash Light BR Watch. It is a tool to help make rules for HLBR. In other words, HLBRW was made to be used by HLBR users needing make new rules. It requires some expertise with HLBR, the TCP/IP protocol suite, and regular expressions. HLBRW is a script started by iwatch (a system events watch program) when the HLBR event log is modified. The concept is very single: if the HLBR log was modified, then a known attack was blocked. But the attacker might take other subsequent actions unknown by HLBR. When HLBRW starts, it will coordinate a tcpdump session to record the traffic generated by the attacker's IP address for the next few minutes. If the recorded traffic isn't relevant (without a push in TCP or another relevant protocol), the created file will be deleted. Based on the recorded traffic, the network security manager can make new rules. HLBRW is part of the HLBR project, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) used in firewall systems.
Suricata is an Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS) engine developed by the Open Information Security Foundation and its supporting vendors. The engine is multi-threaded and has native IPv6 support, file extraction capabilities, and many more features. It's capable of loading existing Snort rules and signatures, and supports many frontends through Barnyard2.
StopHack is a simple to use and easy to install intrusion prevention system. It is fully adaptable and easily customized to your environment. It is built on top of proven bandwidth arbitration technology so the traffic passing through it won't be slowed down. Every packet is analyzed with regular expression-based behavior anomaly detection, and hackers are blocked immediately. It prevents reflected cross-site scripting, SQL injection, directory traversal, reflected URL redirects, login brute forcing, remote shell execution, and more.
redBorder IPS is a high performance intrusion prevention system based on Snort running on top of a clustered pf_ring with specific enhancements. A Web management interface is provided to control a large number of such devices, including snort and device configuration, rule management, SNMP monitoring, user roles, and multi-domain support.
ThreadFix is a software vulnerability aggregation and management system that reduces the time it takes to fix software vulnerabilities. It imports the results from dynamic, static, and manual testing to provide a centralized view of software security defects across development teams and applications. The system allows companies to correlate testing results and streamline software remediation efforts by simplifying feeds to software issue trackers. By auto-generating application firewall rules, this tool allows organizations to continue remediation work uninterrupted. ThreadFix empowers managers with vulnerability trending reports that show progress over time, giving them justification for their efforts.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Lahiri's characters are charmers....She breathes unpredictable life into the page, and the reader finishes each story reseduced, wishing he could spend a whole novel with its characters. There is nothing accidental about her success; her plots are as elegantly constructed as a fine proof in mathematics."
Caleb Crain, New York Times Book Review, 07/11/1999Review:
"...Jhumpa Lahiri traces the lives of people on two continents--North America and India--and in doing so announces herself as a wonderfully distinctive new voice. Indeed, Ms. Lahiri's prose is so eloquent and assured that the reader easily forgets that INTERPRETER OF MALADIES is a young writer's first book."

Popular Dear Don Column Finds TV Home; American Dream Story of Vladimir Matyushenko, Schwarzenegger of Japan Ken Yasuda, Tucson Paramedic, Heavyweight Chad Griggs all featured in this weeks episode
NEW YORK, April 26, 2007- The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the worlds first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, will bring fans from the Southwest to the Far East as IFL Battleground, the series chronicling the league, takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the Tucson Scorpions and their charismatic coach, Don Frye, and the Tokyo Sabres, led by the Schwarzenegger of Japan, champion trainer and bodybuilder Ken Yasuda, on Monday, April 30, at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT/MT).. IFL Battleground airs every Monday night on MyNetworkTV
Some of the highlights seen during this weeks six full bouts include:
The Janitor Vladimir Matyushenko (Los Angeles) of the Sabres recounts his American Dream type story: he defected from his native Belarus in 1993, and with little money, no English skills and with the help a few international wrestling friends, moved to California where he became a collegiate All-American, graduated from the Univ. of Nevada and has become one of the most feared mixed martial artists in the world. Matyushenko is now making his mark at the very top of the IFL light heavyweight class. Tucson coach Don Frye, whose Dear Don column quickly became the most talked-about section of the IFL.tv Website, brings his outgoing personality and irreverent advice to broadcast TV. The episode also looks at the shaping of his Scorpions team, particularly his developing respect for and friendship with light heavyweight standout Mike Whitehead (Central Point, Ore.). Scorpions lightweight Ed West (Tucson, Ariz.) talks about his brief career as a male stripper, before turning to mixed martial arts full-time. Scorpions heavyweight Chad Griggs (Tucson, Ariz.), who serves as a fireman/Emergency Medical Technician by day (and sometimes, by night) talks about his dual careers fighting fires and other mixed martial artists. Sabres lightweight Savant Young (Pasadena, Calif.) brings viewers to the South Central Los Angeles neighborhood which forged his tough exterior, and lets them learn more about the warm-hearted family guy who loves fixing old cars and fights for a living.
Viewers can find their local MyNetworkTV affiliate at www.mynetworktv.com/local_stations.html.
Each of the 12 IFL teams for 2007 will compete in three regular season events; the teams with the top four overall win-loss team records will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on Thursday, August 2, at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J. The 2007 IFL Finals will then be held at The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 15.

- The Ages
- Engagement Rings
- Antique Rings
- Diamond Jewelry
- So Much More
Best of Both: Ruby Sapphire & Diamond Flip Ring
Now you can have the option of wearing a diamond and sapphire or a diamond and ruby set band for the purchase of one ring. The fabricator of this very finely crafted ring took the high road when it comes to craftsmanship. Platinum is the metal of choice for a triple band look featuring fifteen (15) natural rubies with a total weight of about .75 carats or the same number and carat weight of sapphires. Each of these thirty (30) gems is French cut – which are expensive to work and to facet – and not often seen due to the time demands of the process. This cut lends more brilliance to channel set stones (such as these are) than do the typical simple rectangular or square step cuts.
Moreover, thirty (30) graduated brilliant cut diamonds of an estimated total weight of .40 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity) embellish the "top" and "bottom" sections of the ring. A less expensive version would have been set with single cut diamonds (that have far fewer facets).
The middle band is bisected and channel set half with rubies and the other with sapphires. Both of the ends of the two diamond sections host a hinge which enables those parts to "flip over" and incorporate either the ruby or the sapphire gems. This diamond, sapphire and ruby platinum ring is most certainly the best of both worlds.
Date: Mid 20th century.
Note: This item is one ring.
Measurements: Ruby and sapphire band are 1/8 of an inch (3 mm) in width; diamond band is 1/16 of an inch (2 mm) in width; total width with gem and both diamond guards is 1/4 of an inch (7 mm) in width; 1/16 of an inch (2 mm) in height off the finger.
Ring Size: US 6-1/2 (UK M-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 53.1 mm; Int. Dia. 16.9 mm; Japan 13). This ring cannot be sized up, but could be sized down with inserts.
Condition: Excellent; one sapphire with a minute side chip evident with magnification; a few rubies with minute chips visible with a loupe.
Note: Stones were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. All weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights. Grading may vary if stones are removed.

I purchased the Hot Rod router bit in conjunction with a Hot Rod for my first full build. It couldn't have been any easier to route the truss rod slot. The rod fits perfectly without any rattle or unnecessary play. Measure multiple times and cut in multiple passes and you'll be doing this in your sleep.
This bit cuts to the exact width needed to fit a Stew-Mac Hot Rod into a guitar neck. I was able to use this bit on my router table. Set up and execution was easy as pie. Make sure your fence set up is right and do the cut in multiple passes.
Hot rod truss rods fit perfect when using this bit. Thanks Stewmac.
This blade worked fine and cut my solid rosewood neck great... except that I tried to run it through the router table the wrong way. I had a fake maple skunk stripe on the back, and to keep consistent with which edge was against the fence, I ran it backwards. Don't recommend that. Otherwise, great.
Perfect bit for the job. Two passes and I had my channel cut perfectly for the Hot Rod, and it sits extremely well in it. Like everyone has said, this bit is INCREDIBLY sharp. Be careful when removing the plastic over the tip of it. Looking forward to using this on future projects!
There are really only two kinds of tools, quality ones and cheapo ones. These are quality and last as long as any long lasting bits I've used. No bits last forever. If I had to guess, I'd guess you could use this 50 times before you really had to get another...
Cuts a clean slot. Cutting a truss rod slot is not "rocket science", but with this bit there are no worries about fit with the Hot Rod Truss Rods.
I use this for routing the truss rod slot and for cutting the edges of my bridge to the correct thickness.
Sharp as hell. Does the job.
I bought this bit to help ensure a good install in my first guitar build. I was terrified of something going wrong, however this bit made it a flawless install. Thank you stewmac!

Tickets will be sold in Dahlgren Hall, on the first floor (seaward side) at a Midshipmen Food Services Division table next to the Naval Academy Business Services Division (NABSD) exhibit, on Thursday (1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and Friday (7:00 to 10:00 a.m.). Tickets will be sold in King Hall at the start of lunch on Friday. We advise you to purchase tickets beforehand in Dahlgren Hall to avoid delays. This lunch is not mandatory for your Midshipman.
Many commercial restaurants are available in the Annapolis area. In addition to those in the downtown Annapolis area near the Academy, many are located in Restaurant Park by Annapolis Mall just off Route 50, northwest of, and about five miles from, the Academy.
A listing of restaurants is available in the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Official Visitors Guide.
The weather during Parents' Weekend can be unpredictable, but it is normally hot and humid. Temperatures range from 70 to 100 degrees, and it may be rainy. Due to the amount of walking, we recommend comfortable shoes.
"Sunday dress" is suitable for religious services and casual clothing (including shorts) is recommended for all other events and activities. The uniform for active duty for the Formal Parade on Saturday is Summer White for Navy and "Blue Dress Delta" for Marines, or service equivalent.
