Satellite looking into missing Malaysia flight detects 'suspected crash area'
(CNN) -- A Chinese satellite probing the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 "observed a suspected crash area at sea," a Chinese government agency said -- a potentially pivotal lead into what thus far has been a frustrating, fruitless search.
China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense announced the discovery, including images of what it said were "three suspected floating objects."
The objects aren't small: 13 by 18 meters (43 by 59 feet), 14 by 19 meters (46 by 62 feet) and 24 by 22 meters (79 feet by 72 feet). For reference, the wingspan of an intact Boeing 777-200ER like the one that disappeared is about 61 meters (200 feet) and its overall length is about 64 meters (210 feet).
The images were captured around 11 a.m. on March 9 -- which was the day after the plane went missing -- but weren't released until Wednesday.
The Chinese agency gave coordinates of 105.63 east longitude, 6.7 north latitude, which would put it in waters northeast of where it took off in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and south of Vietnam, near where the South China Sea meets the Gulf of Thailand.
"It's where it's supposed to be," Peter Goelz, a former National Transportation Safety Board managing director, told CNN's Jake Tapper, noting the "great skepticism" about reports the plane had turned around to go back over Malaysia. "I think they've got to get vessels and aircraft there as quickly as humanly possible."
This isn't the first time authorities have announced the discovery of objects or oil slicks that might be tied to aircraft. Still, it is the latest and comes on the same day that officials, rather than narrowing the search area, more than doubled it from the day earlier to nearly 27,000 square nautical miles (35,000 square miles).
The vastness of the area and the limited details that authorities have given makes it hard to tell whether the spot that the satellite imagery captured has been searched. A Malaysian air force official, who is not authorized to speak to the media, did say Thursday morning that its aircraft were heading to that area.
Bill Palmer -- author of a book on Air France's Flight 447, which also mysteriously went missing before its remnants were found -- said having a search area of that size is immensely challenging. He compared it to trying to find something the size of a car or truck in Pennsylvania, then widening it to look for the same thing in all of North America.
"It's a very, very difficult situation to try to find anything," Palmer told CNN's Brooke Baldwin. "Looking for pieces on the shimmering water doesn't make it any easier."
The Chinese satellite find could help, significantly, in that regard.
"I think the size of the pieces ... everything we've heard... gives good cause to believe that we've now (refocused) the area," former Federal Aviation Administration official Michael Goldfarb told CNN. "And that's a huge relief to everybody ... I think it's a high chance that they're going to confirm that these (are) pieces of the wreckage."
But not every expert was convinced this is it. Clive Irving, a senior editor with Conde Nast Traveler, said that the size of the pieces -- since they are fairly square and large -- "don't conform to anything that's on the plane."
Tom Haueter, a former NTSB aviation safety director, said he'd be "surprised" if the objects came from the plane, rationalizing that anything that big wouldn't float.
Regardless, time is of the essence -- both for investigators and the loved ones of the plane's 239 passengers and crew, who have waited since Saturday for any breakthrough that would provide closure.
The flight data recorders should "ping," or send out a signal pointing to its location, for about 30 days from the time the aircraft set off, noted Goldfarb. After that, Flight 370 could prove exponentially harder to find.
"It's the only clue that we've had so far," CNN aviation expert Richard Quest said of the satellite imagery clues. "If this doesn't prove to be the wreckage of 370, then we're back to square one."
The Malaysia Airlines flight set off seemingly without incident early Saturday, not long after midnight, en route to Beijing.
Then, around 1:30 a.m., all communication cut off over a location south and east of where the Chinese satellite images were shot.
Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, the head of Malaysia's civil aviation department, said around 6 a.m. Thursday in Kuala Lumpur -- hours after China's announcement -- that his agency had not seen the images.
This assertion comes amid frustration about the investigation, search and communication surrounding both.
Relatives of those aboard the plane have expressed outrage, with video showing some of them angrily throwing water bottles at airline officials. And on Tuesday, a middle-aged man -- who said his son was on that plane -- shouted, "Time is passing by," before bursting into tears.
Some involved in the multinational search operation have also vented about the ordeal.
Most of those on the flight were Chinese, and the Chinese government has urged Malaysia to speed up the pace of its investigation.
And Phan Quy Tieu, Vietnam's vice minister of transportation, has characterized the information that Malaysian officials have provided as "insufficient."
"Up until now we only had one meeting with a Malaysian military attache," he said.
For now, Vietnamese teams will stop searching the sea south of Ca Mau province, the southern tip of Vietnam, and shift the focus to areas east of Ca Mau, said Doan Luu, the director of international affairs at the Vietnamese Civil Aviation Authority.
Malaysia's transportation and defense minister Hishamuddin Bin Hussein defended his government's approach. "We have been very consistent in the search," he said.
How you can help find the plane
Confusion about plane's route
Over the weekend, authorities suddenly expanded their search to the other side of the Malay Peninsula, in the Strait of Malacca, where search efforts now seem to be concentrated.
That location is hundreds of miles off the plane's expected flight path.
An explanation appeared to come Tuesday when a senior Malaysian Air Force official told CNN that the Air Force had tracked the plane to a spot near the small island of Palau Perak off Malaysia's west coast in the Strait of Malacca.
The plane's identifying transponder had stopped sending signals, too, said the official, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Malaysia's civilian administration appeared to dispute the report, however.
The New York Times quoted a spokesman for the Malaysian prime minister's office as saying Tuesday that military officials had told him there was no evidence the plane had flown back over the Malay Peninsula.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: What we know and don't know
The Prime Minister's office didn't immediately return calls from CNN seeking comment.
In another shift, Malaysian authorities said at a news conference Wednesday that radar records reviewed in the wake of the plane's disappearance reveal an unidentified aircraft traveling across the Malay Peninsula and some 200 miles into the Strait of Malacca.
However, it wasn't clear whether that radar signal represented Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Gen. Rodzali Daud, head of the Malaysian Air Force, said at the news conference.
Rodzali said then that officials are still "examining and analyzing all possibilities" when it comes to the plane's flight path.
As Rob Mark, a commercial pilot and publisher of JetWhine.com, told CNN's Erin Burnett: "There's so much confusing information flying around about this right now."
Nothing has been ruled out as to what caused the plane's communication systems -- including its crucial transponder -- to suddenly stop working.
Terrorism, hijacking, pilot error and a mechanical malfunction all remain just as valid as possibilities now as when the plane went missing.
Amid all the confusion and complaints, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Wednesday appealed for patience.
"The families involved have to understand that this is something unexpected," Najib said. "The families must understand more efforts have been made with all our capabilities."

The blame game continues! Yesterday President Obama blamed former president George Bush for the current "Fast and Furious" government gun-running scandal during a town hall meeting hosted by Univision at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. We have four dead embassy officials and a dead border patrol agent – and Obama is still blaming a video and George Bush!!!
According to the Digital Journal:
"I think it's important for us to understand that the "Fast and Furious" program was a field-initiated program begun under the previous administration," the president said. "When Eric Holder found out about it, he discontinued it. We assigned a inspector general to do a thorough report that was just issued, confirming that in fact Eric Holder did not know about this, that he took prompt action and the people who did initiate this were held accountable," said Mr. Obama.
While similar but more successful programs involving ATF agents were conducted during the Bush administration they were completely separate operations, not part of the Obama administration's "field-initiated program," as Obama told the crowd. Also, there were no Americans killed in such a program under Bush.
We determined that Attorney General Holder did not learn of that fact until sometime in 2011, after he received Sen. Grassley's January 27 letter. Senior Department officials were aware of this significant and troubling information by December 17, 2010, but did not believe the information was sufficiently important to alert the Attorney General about it or to make any further inquiry regarding this development."
Although Attorney General Eric Holder feels he has been exonerated by the recent Inspector General's report, ABC News feels otherwise:
…this was not entirely an exoneration of the Justice Department run by Mr. Holder. "We found it troubling that a case of this magnitude, and one that affected Mexico so significantly was not directly briefed to the Attorney General," the report stated.
In addition to specific disciplinary measures, the Inspector General "made six recommendations designed to increase the Department's involvement in and oversight of ATF operations, improve coordination among the Department's law enforcement components, and enhance the Department's wiretap application review and authorization process. The OIG intends to closely monitor the department's progress in implementing these recommendations."

| Sharpedo Attack!
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Sharpedo Attack! (Japanese: 脱出!サメハダーの島!! Escape! Samehader Island!!) is the 19th episode of the Advanced Generation series, and the 293rd episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on April 3, 2003 and in the United States on January 31, 2004.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Ash and company are sailing toward Dewford Town, thanks to their new friends Mr. Briney and his Wingull, Peeko. Mr. Briney stops at a small island so that Max and May can enjoy a swim while everyone else and their Pokémon relaxes and soaks up the sun. All the while, Team Rocket is tailing the happy sea goers underwater in their Magikarp sub. Team Rocket is not the only thing following our heroes, though. A dark shadow is following the boat as it turns towards the island. When they get closer to the island, May and Max dive in the water and begin swimming and splashing around. Suddenly Ash and Brock hear May and Max scream. The boat is surrounded by a group of Sharpedo! Ash and Mr. Briney send Peeko and Taillow to help Max and May. Both Max and May were hurt by the rough skin of the Sharpedo. Pikachu uses its Thunderbolt attack to ward off the Sharpedo long enough for Mr. Briney to dock the boat on the island.
While Ash and company set up camp for the night, Team Rocket surfaces, complaining of hunger. The Sharpedo begin attacking their sub and Jessie sends Seviper after them. After one successful strike, the Sharpedo retaliate and send Team Rocket blasting away. The following morning, Ash tries to lure the group of Sharpedo away from the island, but the leader is not tricked. Brock challenges the leader using his Lotad and wins after just two attacks. Brock realizes the Sharpedo is poisoned and begins nursing it back to health, only to discover that it was Jessie's Seviper that poisoned it. Team Rocket attempts to steal Pikachu again, but is warded off by the gang's new found group of Sharpedo friends. The episode ends with everyone swimming happily with the group of Sharpedo, which, they discover, only have rough skin when threatened or are around enemies. Now it's off to Dewford to compete for a second Hoenn badge!
As Ash and his friends travel with Mr. Briney toward Dewford Island, they decide to let their Pokémon out to enjoy the day. Team Rocket is in their Magikarp submarine, following the boat. The boat is leaving them behind, so they start pedaling as fast as they can. Excluding Team Rocket, all the people and Pokémon are relaxing and having a great time. Max and May decide they want to go swimming, but Ash wants to go straight to the Gym. However, the others are able to convince him that one swim won't stop him from becoming a Pokémon Master, so they change course and head for an island shaped like a crescent moon. As they sail on, a shape under the water is following them, and it's not Team Rocket. Mr. Briney tells them that he discovered the island they're going to, and it's not on any map. May comes out in a new swimsuit that she bought in Rustboro City, and she and Max jump into the water. Ash, Brock, and all the Pokémon except Torchic decide to go in too, but then they hear screaming. May and Max are surrounded by Sharpedo! Mr. Briney has Peeko carry them back to the boat, while Pikachu and Taillow try to attack the Sharpedo. One jumps up and rubs against Max's leg, and its Rough Skin scratches him. Peeko deposits them back on the boat, and May is very angry when she realizes that her brand new bathing suit was torn. Mr. Briney tells them that they should leave, but then the Sharpedo start ramming the boat. With a little help from Pikachu's Thunderbolt, they're able to get past the Sharpedo and dock on the island.
That night they're all sitting around a campfire eating dinner, while some lookouts from the Sharpedo gang are patrolling the waters. Brock and Mr. Briney don't understand why the Sharpedo are working together since they're usually solitary, but the more important question is how they are going to get off the island. Ash thinks that a Pokémon battle would be all it would take, but Max reminds him that they only have eight Pokémon total while there are tons of Sharpedo. Brock thinks that if they beat the leader of the Sharpedo in a battle, they might become the leaders. Since they don't have any other plans, they decide to try it. Meanwhile, Team Rocket surfaces, exhausted. Jessie notices the island in the distance, but before they can do anything about it they're surrounded by the Sharpedo. Jessie sends out her Seviper and uses Poison Tail on the leader, which works, but then all the Sharpedo tackle the sub at the same time and they blast off. As they're flying off into the distance, they see Mr. Briney's boat docked on the island and realize the twerps are there.
It's now morning, and the entire bay is full of Sharpedo. Ash and Pikachu stand in a large bucket and hold on to a rope attached to Taillow and Peeko. This functions as a waterski of sorts, and Ash sails around the bay, yelling at the Sharpedo. The leader tells the rest of the group to chase Ash, and he leads them out to sea. Then May, Max, and Mr. Briney pull a rope they had hidden, and a wooden fence slides into the water, trapping the Sharpedo leader. It rams the fence over and over, pulling on the rope, until it's yanked from Max and Mr. Briney's hands. May keeps holding on so she flies forward and lands in the water, where the Sharpedo charges at her. Brock quickly sends out his Lotad, which distracts the Sharpedo while May gets to shore. As Ash returns too, Brock challenges Sharpedo to a one-on-one battle. Sharpedo starts with Bite and Lotad uses Water Gun. Brock tells Lotad to use Water Gun again, but instead it just swims up to Sharpedo and looks at it. Then Sharpedo suddenly faints. Brock examines it and realizes that it's poisoned. They think it must have battled a Tentacruel or some other Poison-type Pokémon that lives in the ocean. Brock does everything he can for Sharpedo, but they don't have any medicine. Sharpedo wakes up early the next morning and sees that Brock fell asleep petting it, and it gently puts its fin over him then goes back to sleep.
Suddenly the Magikarp submarine surfaces, waking everyone up. It shoots out nets and grabs Pikachu and Sharpedo. When Brock says that Sharpedo was poisoned, Jessie realizes that it was from Seviper's Poison Tail. Brock has Lotad use Razor Leaf to cut the nets. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunder, but stops mid-sentence and says that they don't even need to bother. Team Rocket is confused until they look behind them and see the entire school of Sharpedo. They all use Headbutt at the same time and the submarine explodes, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. Sharpedo has now recovered from the poison, and it's grateful for everything Brock did. All the other Sharpedo start nuzzling Brock and he freaks, but then he realizes that the Rough Skin isn't affecting him because the Sharpedo don't want to hurt him. The others try petting the Sharpedo and they aren't hurt either.
The group finally arrives at Dewford Town on Dewford Island. Mr. Briney is heading to Slateport City, and they wave goodbye to both him and the school of Sharpedo.

The foundation of Wu's kingdom was established pretty early by Sun Ce before 200 A.D. and the Sun family had a pretty good relations with the powerful families and officials in Jiang Dong who lent their support to the Sun family.
The foundation of Shu could be considered to be properly laid only after the battle of Chi Bi when Liu Bei gained some firm footholds at Jing Zhou. Subsequently, he expanded into Yi Zhou and took Cheng Du as the capital.
At which point in history was Shu stronger than Wu? Or is Shu the weakest among the 3 kingdoms from beginning till the end??

Location: Crop Germplasm Research
Project Number: 3091-21000-041-01-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Apr 1, 2014
End Date: Mar 31, 2019
The objective of this cooperative project is the coordinated characterization and evaluation of genetic and phenotypic diversity within the germplasm collection. Sub-objectives include the development of a digital image library, phenotypic evaluation of accessions, and molecular analyses of trait associations and diversity among accessions.
For assembly of a digital image library, protocols will be discussed and shared to provide standardized methods for capturing images. These permanent and detailed visual records will help validate and communicate descriptor characterization and will more appropriately capture subtle variation for future identification and preservation of the extensive variation of the Collection. Samples of typical leaves, flowers, and bolls will be gathered from each accession, tagged, and quickly assembled under high resolution digital cameras. Plant samples are laid on a measured grid background for a consistent size reference. Images are identified by photographed tags, and then named according to accession inventory number and the year/environment of planting. Images will be loaded to GRIN-Global and CottonGen for public viewing. Accessions will be phenotypically evaluated for responses to traits of current interest to cotton researchers, including but not limited to seed quality, insect resistance, heat and drought tolerance, and water use efficiency. The germplasm collection will develop and make available uniform descriptors and techniques for morphological, production, and disease resistance investigations, and will provide historical information on the source of accessions. Standard evaluation techniques for quantitative agronomic traits will include replicated testing over environments utilizing appropriate randomization and statistical models. Information will be published in appropriate journals and outlets and data will be submitted to GRIN-Global or CottonGen as appropriate. Association and genetic diversity analyses will be used to investigate relationships among accessions at the molecular level. Molecular data is currently available from 105 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers applied to approximately 20% of the accessions in the collection. Additional markers may be identified and applied to provide a denser coverage of the cotton genome and/or more robust discriminating ability among accessions. For association with phenotypic traits, high volume instrumentation (HVI) fiber quality data (including fiber strength, length, elongation, and micronaire) from the Cotton Winter Nursery is available for the majority of accessions in the US National Cotton Germplasm Collection. In addition, seed protein and oil content have recently been measured on approximately 20% of the Gossypium accessions. This data will be analyzed and interpreted to develop a panel of accessions for association analysis. Analysis and subsequent interpretations will be published in appropriate journals and outlets.

What cracking your knuckles actually does to your bones and joints
Snap, crackle and pop. Those sounds can either make you cringe, or induce a sense of relief — it really all depends on how you feel about knuckle cracking.
Some believe that cracking your knuckles can lead to the development of arthritis or other joint issues, but how much truth is there to those claims? Can that cracking lead to actual harmful repercussions, or is it just an annoying habit?
READ MORE: 7 foods that will keep your bones healthy
According to Dr. Robert Shmerling of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre, people crack their knuckles for a few reasons.
"People [crack their knuckles] to relieve tension or just as a matter of habit," Shmerling explains. "It does not provide relief in that it's not something people to do reduce joint pain but it may provide relief from a feeling of tension or stress."
Evidence suggests that what happens in the joints, he says, is that gas bubbles accumulate in the joint (which is normal) and when that space in the joint is expanded by the manipulation of the joint when cracking it, the gas bubbles burst — that is what causes you to hear that sound. It also explains why you cannot crack the same joint again for a while, because the gas bubbles need to accumulate again.
For a while, many thought that arthritis developed as a result of cracking one's knuckles, but that was just a medical myth, Shmerling clarifies.
But engaging in the habit is usually not harmful, he says.
Shmerling mentions an experiment one California physician conducted on himself. Over this man's lifetime, he would crack the knuckles on one hand, but not on the other. When he x-rayed himself after years of doing this, he found no difference in arthritis in either hand. A larger study in the 1970s later came to that same conclusion.
But even though there hasn't been any evidence finding arthritis developing as a result of cracking knuckles, Harvard Medical School does say there is a chance of having swollen hands and a reduction in grip strength over time.

However, there is still a chance for injury, Shmerling warns.
"There are rare reports of dislocation or tendon injuries from knuckle cracking," he says. "They probably represent 'over-enthusiastic' joint manipulation or, perhaps, knuckle cracking in a person whose joints were unusually flexible."
One small 2011 study, however, found that cracking your knuckles may leave you open to developing metacarpophalangeal join osteoarthritis. More than 200 patients between the ages of 50 to 89 years old were looked at and it was concluded that there was a 20 per cent chance of them developing the ailment in their hands after cracking their finger joints over a five-year period.
As to whether or not this theory applies to other joints within the body, Shmerling doesn't seem to think it's actually an issue because we cannot readily crack other joints the way we do with finger joints.
"Other joints, such as the wrist, elbow or kneed, are more difficult — or perhaps impossible — to manipulate in a way that would increase the volume of the joint space," he points out. "There are other sounds that can come from joints — they probably come from tendons rubbing over a bony prominence or, in the case of the kneecap, a bone moving over another bone."
In general, he says, if there is no pain, "locking" or feeling instability, most sounds coming from the joints are not a cause for concern and do not mean the joint is arthritis or abnormal.Follow @danidmedia

Sam's Pizza Palace, Wildwood, New Jersey
A different slice profiled each day.
Sam's Pizza Palace has been my slice go-to in Wildwood since my wife (aka "Girl Slice") and I started vacationing at this Jersey Shore town in 2005. I still stand by it, and hope to eat there for many summers to come.
The crust is light, airy, crisp, and usually pleasantly salty. There's a near-perfect cheese-to-sauce ratio. Unlike a lot of Jersey boardwalk pizza, there's no spiral pattern to the sauce here. And the cheese Sam's uses is simply mozzarella. It's pretty much a standard NYC-style slice.
You always get a slice hot from the oven because the place is always packed (see above) and slice-pie turnover is fierce.
I can't recall a time I ever stopped at a single slice.
We returned recently over Memorial Day weekend and of course made a beeline there our first night in town. Everything was pretty much spot on, though the crust was a little bland and underdone this time. Given the number of consistently superb Sam's slices I've had in the past, I'm willing to chalk it up to start-of-the-season kinks.
New to me this year is that I finally tried the white broccoli slice, which seems to be a thing here (and at rival Mack's down the boards). The crust on this pie was closer to the Sam's I know—well-done and crisp if still a little less flavorful than usual.
This is the Jersey Shore, with strong Pennsylvania influences, so of course you have to order a birch beer with your slice. Or slices.
Pro tip 1: Skip the long dinnertime line at the door by offering to eat at the counter. There are almost always stools available. And you get to watch the stunning efficiency of the Sam's team at work (above).
Pro tip 2: Watch the damn seagulls! They will steal your damn pizza.

TEHRAN, June 24 (UPI) -- The value of the Iranian currency should increase when compared to the U.S. dollar if President-elect Hassan Rouhani moves closer to the West, an analyst said.
Rouhani, a cleric and former nuclear negotiator, cleared the simple majority needed to secure victory in June 14 presidential elections in Iran. He was considered a moderate in comparison to the five other candidates.
The Iranian currency, the rial, collapsed under pressure from Western economic sanctions last year. U.S. and European sanctions are meant to starve Iran of the revenue needed to finance a controversial nuclear research program, which it maintains is for peaceful purposes.
Iran's state-funded broadcaster Press TV reported the value of the rial has rallied since Rouhani's victory. The national currency was valued at 30,000 per U.S. dollar, up 16 percent from the previous week, the report said.
Press TV reports Iranians holding U.S. currency are selling it in favor of the rial as the value rebounds. The broadcaster quotes an unnamed "currency dealer" as saying the rial should gain strength if Rouhani "strengthens ties with the West and some of the sanctions are removed."
Financial services provider Oanda Corp. paints a different picture. It reports a sharp drop-off in the value of the rial as of trading Monday.
Rouhani said he would rule as a moderate once he takes the oath of office in August. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei has the ultimate say over Iranian policy decisions.

Cloud Security Alliance member AEP Networks claims that its new Security-as-a-Service offering is an "industry first" approach for cloud service providers looking to secure the inherently shared nature of public cloud services. Aiming to accelerate the adoption of secure cloud services hosted in the public cloud, the company says that it is answering the call for policy protection by removing prohibitive cost barriers with a new pricing model.
Offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, AEP claims that CloudProtect will allow managed service providers to bolster their cloud service models with security that will scale up to hundreds of thousands of users if needed.
The company's market proposition suggests that service providers will be able to offer newly secured services immediately, such as secure remote access to key applications, thanks to the upfront elimination of capital expenditure and licensing costs.
"The reputation of the public cloud has suffered somewhat over the years, and rightly so. Throwing data into an abyss and hoping for the best is no method to securing your data. However, companies are getting smarter and looking to service providers to provide them with the peace of mind that their data is secure," said Mark Darvill, director at AEP Networks.
AEP says that CloudProtect enables every device looking to access applications to be checked for full compliance with security standards. It assigns each device with an authorization fingerprint defining the security posture, ensuring that only safe devices can access an application.
"With stringent endpoint policies, CloudProtect removes the danger of an unauthorised device connecting to the cloud environment. Equally, users will be given the freedom to use their own printing facilities for the first time, in line with company policy," says AEP.
The validity of AEP Networks' "industry first" claim may be somewhat in question with vendors such as Novell also making announcements on product launches in the same area as recently as last week.
According to Novell, "With Novell Cloud Security Service, enterprises can quickly and easily extend their identity infrastructure to any public cloud. Any changes that are made to their users or permissions are immediately replicated in the cloud environment, thus ensuring one consistent identity and security framework for the enterprise, regardless of where the computing is actually taking place."
This public (and private for that matter) cloud security market is clearly in a state of tremendous flux right now with technology vendors all looking to gain as much recognition as possible. The true worth of any single solution will no doubt be borne out in the fullness of time as user adoption and natural selection start to have their full effect.

A Closer Look at the Christmas Eve Outage
by Adrian Cockcroft
Netflix streaming was impacted on Christmas Eve 2012 by problems in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) service that routes network traffic to the Netflix services supporting streaming. The postmortem report by AWS can be read here.
Summary of the December 24, 2012 Amazon ELB Service Event in the US-East Region
We would like to share more details with our customers about the event that occurred with the Amazon Elastic Load…
We apologize for the inconvenience and loss of service. We'd like to explain what happened and how we continue to invest in higher availability solutions.
Partial Outage
The problems at AWS caused a partial Netflix streaming outage that started at around 12:30 PM Pacific Time on December 24 and grew in scope later that afternoon. The outage primarily affected playback on TV connected devices in the US, Canada and Latin America. Our service in the UK, Ireland and Nordic countries was not impacted.
Netflix uses hundreds of ELBs. Each one supports a distinct service or a different version of a service and provides a network address that your Web browser or streaming device calls. Netflix streaming has been implemented on over a thousand different streaming devices over the last few years, and groups of similar devices tend to depend on specific ELBs. Requests from devices are passed by the ELB to the individual servers that run the many parts of the Netflix application. Out of hundreds of ELBs in use by Netflix, a handful failed, losing their ability to pass requests to the servers behind them. None of the other AWS services failed, so our applications continued to respond normally whenever the requests were able to get through.
The Netflix Web site remained up throughout the incident, supporting sign up of new customers and streaming to Macs and PCs, although at times with higher latency and a likelihood of needing to retry. Over-all streaming playback via Macs and PCs was only slightly reduced from normal levels. A few devices also saw no impact at all as those devices have an ELB configuration that kept running throughout the incident, providing normal playback levels.
At 12:24 PM Pacific Time on December 24 network traffic stopped on a few ELBs used by a limited number of streaming devices. At around 3:30 PM on December 24, network traffic stopped on additional ELBs used by game consoles, mobile and various other devices to start up and load lists of TV shows and movies. These ELBs were patched back into service by AWS at around 10:30 PM on Christmas Eve, so game consoles etc. were impacted for about seven hours. Most customers were fully able to use the service again at this point. Some additional ELB cleanup work continued until around 8 am on December 25th, when AWS finished restoring service to all the ELBs in use by Netflix, and all devices were streaming again.
Even though Netflix streaming for many devices was impacted, this wasn't an immediate blackout. Those devices that were already running Netflix when the ELB problems started were in many cases able to continue playing additional content.
Christmas Eve is traditionally a slow Netflix night as many members celebrate with families or spend Christmas Eve in other ways than watching TV shows or movies. We see significantly higher usage on Christmas Day and increased streaming rates continue until customers go back to work or school. While we truly regret the inconvenience this outage caused our customers on Christmas Eve, we were also fortunate to have Netflix streaming fully restored before a much higher number of our customers would have been affected.
What Broke And What Should We Do About It
In its postmortem on the outage, AWS reports that
"…data was deleted by a maintenance process that was inadvertently run against the production ELB state data"
This caused data to be lost in the ELB service back end, which in turn caused the outage of a number of ELBs in the US-East region across all availability zones starting at 12:24 PM on December 24.
The problem spread gradually, causing broader impact until
"At 5:02 PM PST, the team disabled several of the ELB control plane workflows"
The AWS team had to restore the missing state data from backups, which took all night.
"By 5:40 AM PST … the new ELB state data had been verified."
AWS has put safeguards in place against this particular failure, and also says
"We are confident that we could recover ELB state data in a similar event significantly faster"
Netflix is designed to handle failure of all or part of a single availability zone in a region as we run across three zones and operate with no loss of functionality on two. We are working on ways of extending our resiliency to handle partial or complete regional outages.
Previous AWS outages have mostly been at the availability zone level, and we're proud of our track record in terms of up time, including our ability to keep Netflix streaming running while other AWS hosted services are down.
Our strategy so far has been to isolate regions, so that outages in the US or Europe do not impact each other.
It is still early days for cloud innovation and there is certainly more to do in terms of building resiliency in the cloud. In 2012 we started to investigate running Netflix in more than one AWS region and got a better gauge on the complexity and investment needed to make these changes.
We have plans to work on this in 2013. It is an interesting and hard problem to solve, since there is a lot more data that will need to be replicated over a wide area and the systems involved in switching traffic between regions must be extremely reliable and capable of avoiding cascading overload failures. Naive approaches could have the downside of being more expensive, more complex and cause new problems that might make the service less reliable. Look for upcoming blog posts as we make progress in implementing regional resiliency.
As always, we are hiring the best engineers we can find to work on these problems, and are open sourcing the solutions we develop as part of our platform.
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2013.

Calculate the rate of price inflation between two dates using one of our inflation rate calculators.
The Cumulative Inflation Calculator calculates total inflation in percent between exact months and years since 1913. Other calculators that do not request a month use an average for the year which would produce similar results to choosing June or July as your month but this would not include inflation for the first half of the year. So for short time periods the result would be much less accurate.
But we have several other inflation calculators to choose from.
1) If you are simply interested in the difference in how much something cost in a previous year and how much it would cost now (or at any other point since 1913) you can use this basic inflation calculator from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
2) If however, you would like to know the total cumulative inflation between two specific months at any point between 1913 and the present use our Cumulative Inflation Calculator.
Simply enter a starting date (month and year) and an ending date (month and Year) and the calculator will tell you the total percentage of inflation between those two points.
Then you can easily plug the result into the "How much it would cost after Inflation Calculator" to determine the difference in dollar terms.
The cumulative inflation calculator also uses the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics which is the most closely watched indicator for inflation in the U.S. It can be considered the "government's key inflation barometer".
3) If you know the inflation rate and would like to know how much something would cost after increasing in price by that amount of inflation use the "How much it would cost after Inflation Calculator"
4) Is your salary keeping up with inflation? What you need next year just to keep up. Use our Salary Inflation Calculator.
5) To compare the cost of living in two cities use this Cost of Living calculator. Financial managers say this is a great tool when you are trying to decide on a big move and need to budget properly.
6) If you are interested in the Current Inflation Rate or the Historical Inflation Rate we have tables and charts for them as well.

It always amazes me how just a few extra dollars a month in payments can drastically reduce how much interest you pay over the life of your loan. This calculator will help you see how much you can save.
- Salary Inflation Calculator- How much more salary will you need next year based upon the current inflation rate?
- Retirement Planning Calculator- This calculator takes the amount of money you think you will need for retirement, for instance $1,000,000 ($1 Million) or an annual amount like $50,000 and allows you to input the number of years until you retire and then you input your estimate of the annual inflation during those years (say 4%) and the calculator will tell you how much you will need in future dollars to have the same purchasing power as the current amount you think you will need.

Volkswagen recently put on sale the second generation of its mid-size sport utility vehicle, the 2011 Touareg. Sitting at the top of the Touareg line is the $61,385 Hybrid, a vehicle that is eminently capable and well-executed.
Yet, with a single exception, almost every argument you can make for buying the Hybrid may be called into question by Volkswagen's other two Touaregs, the base V-6 and the V-6 turbo diesel (TDI).
Like your appendix (or even your wisdom teeth), the existence of the Touareg Hybrid is largely superfluous.
Its only advantage? Raw power.
The goal of the Touareg Hybrid is to give buyers V-8 power with V-6 fuel economy. It does this in spades. (Good thing, since a V-8 isn't available on this generation Touareg.)
To move this hybrid, VW rummaged around the corporate parts bin and found a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 used in various Audis. The automaker paired it with an electric motor and got a total output of 380 horsepower and a whopping 428 pound-feet of torque.
With a 0-60 acceleration time of 6.2 seconds, this is not so much a "save the whales" hybrid as it is a "you're crowding my on-ramp" hybrid.
On all 2011 Touaregs (named after a nomadic tribe in Northern Africa), an eight-speed automatic transmission routes power to all four wheels. (In VW parlance, the all-wheel-drive system is known as 4Motion; Audi calls it quattro.) The handling is taut, with average steering feedback, though at 5,135 pounds, a sports car this is not.
The transmission features a Sport mode and it can be shifted manually. VW says the final two gears are essentially overdrive gears for increased fuel economy.
Also boosting the Touareg Hybrid's efficiency is its unique ability to shut off the engine completely any time you take your foot off the accelerator, at speeds of up to 99 mph. VW calls this "coasting" and it happens by way of a clutch that decouples the engine from the transmission.
It's quite a thrill to watch the tach drop to 0 rpm the moment you take your foot off the gas, be it on the freeway or coming up to a stop sign. The instant you tap the accelerator again, the engine kicks back to life without any discernible hesitation. It also makes for a very quiet and smooth ride.
But this feature is not enough to make the Hybrid the most efficient Touareg in the lineup, and power remains its only advantage.
The Hybrid is rated at 20 miles per gallon in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. During my week with the vehicle, I averaged 19 mpg. This shows the Hybrid's advantage over a V-8; last year I tested the Touareg's close cousin, the Porsche Cayenne S, and averaged 17 mpg.
But the efficiency badge goes to the $48,770 Touareg TDI. Its 3.0-liter, 225-horsepower, 406-pound-feet, oil-burning motor is rated at 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. I averaged 23.8 mpg over four days.
I would gladly trade the Hybrid's straight-line acceleration for the TDI's ability to get well over 500 miles on a tank of fuel, especially with a turbo diesel that can access all of its torque at a ridiculously low 1,750 rpm. Most gas engines are still putting in their contacts that early.
And don't think the Hybrid has a towing advantage either. All three Touaregs are rated to tow an impressive 7,700 pounds, regardless of engine choice.
Finally, the Hybrid isn't lighter or cheaper. Nor are there any distinguishing exterior features, save for small Hybrid badges, to denote that your $61,385 Touareg Hybrid is not the $45,270 base Touareg V-6 (which comes with a 3.6-liter engine good for 280 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque).
In fact, all new Touaregs look the same regardless of the trim line. This is a good thing, as visually this Volkswagen is better looking than the first generation. Volkswagen firmed up the lines and hardened the Touareg's edges. This contemporary, refined look is enhanced by chrome roof rails and trim around the windows and standard LED daytime running lights and alloy wheels.
Inside, the refinement continues. This Volkswagen is basically an Audi hiding behind a VW logo.
All Touaregs come with an 8-inch touch-screen navigation system with a 60-gigabyte hard drive, a rear backup camera and — sitting between the speedometer and tach — a wonderful 7-inch information screen that looks like it was ripped out of an Audi A8. The controls demonstrate elegance in their simplicity, as does the subtle use of brushed metal and soft plastics.
Also standard on all Touareg are six airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control and hill-hold assist. The safety quotient goes one step further, as the 2011 Touareg garnered a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
These standard features mean you're getting a lot of kit on the base V-6 and the TDI. The top-end Hybrid comes fully loaded with such items as heated rear seats, 20-inch wheels, keyless entry, panorama glass sunroof, a premium sound system and parking sensors. The only option you can add is a trailer hitch.
Once you start getting into the Hybrid's $60,000 range, however, it'd be nice to see additional features such as a lane-departure warning system, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. None of these are offered, though they're becoming commonplace on vehicles costing as much.
Interior space is up slightly over the outgoing Touareg, though rear visibility is still an issue on all Touaregs, as the high beltline and sloping roofline mean less glass in the back to see out of.
The Touareg seats five comfortably, with plenty of legroom to go around. Headroom is only marginally compromised because of the sunroof, but the sheer amount of light that this massive option allows into the cabin is worth it.
So the V-6 is cheaper yet still packed with plenty of content, while the TDI wins in efficiency. Still, if you're comfortable spending $61,000 on an SUV that says VW on the outside but implies Audi on the inside, the Touareg Hybrid is easy to live with.
Say that about your wisdom teeth.

The Celebration
1/3 daiquiri rum
1/3 grapefruit juice
1/6 Groseille Syrup (Red Currant Syrup)
1/6 Gin
This cocktail is credited to J. W. Fish, and its first appearance in print is in the W. J. Tarling's, 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book
Groseille (Red Currant) Syrup is not something many people keep in their bar supplies. Fortunately the Internet Cocktail Database has a link to a recipe to make your own (Groseille Syrup link). They also suggest Grenadine as a substitute, although I would recommend that you use only half the sweetener if you replace the groseille syrup with grenadine.
Here is a variation using simple syrup rather than groseille syrup
The Appleton Celebration
1 1/2 oz White Rum
3/4 oz London Dry Gin
1 1/2 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
1/4 oz Sugar Syrup
Lime Slice
Add ingredients into a metal shaker with ice.
Shake until the outside of the metal shaker begins to frost
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with lime slice

What Democrats Can Learn From Cantor's Loss
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's defeat in his Republican primary Tuesday was a truly unexpected turn of events in a political world that isn't used to being surprised. The immediate question now: What does Cantor's defeat really mean?
Understandably, most of the attention has been focused on what Cantor's history-making loss at the hands of a candidate even further to his right means for the future of the Republican Party, especially after so many in Washington thought the GOP establishment had neutralized an insurrection from the tea party.
Story Continued Below
Still, there's much we can learn from last week's big upset. Cantor's brutal comeuppance yields five even more important lessons for Democrats heading into November's elections:
First, competing in every state and every district is still vital. You never know when an opportunity will arise to pull off an unexpected victory — just ask Dave Brat. That's one of the reasons we launched the 50-state strategy when I was chairman of the Democratic National Committee and why we continue to push for its implementation at Democracy for America. Democrats can win everywhere only when we run everywhere. That requires committing to and developing grass-roots talent in the deepest-red and darkest-blue corners of the electoral map.
Second, Americans are so fed up with Congress that even the tea party wants to kick it out. Eric Cantor was part of a leadership team that has spent four years passing legislation that would increase the wealth gap and desecrate the environment. They have stymied every presidential initiative for the sake of political posturing. House leaders have engaged in very little serious work that would benefit the American people, and voters are sick of it.
Third, organization and shoe leather can beat big money. Cantor spent more on steakhouse dinners with lobbyists than his far-right opponent spent on his entire campaign. In an upcoming election in which Republicans' secret corporate money could dwarf Democrats' progressive message on the airwaves, Cantor's defeat should remind us that phone calls, door knocks and one-on-one conversations with neighbors can beat back a tidal wave of cash.

2NE1's CL has really embraced her recently opened Instagram now showcasing her very enviable shoe collection.
Yesterday, the fashionista, gave her followers a sneak peak at her "kicks". She first uploaded a photo with rows and rows of heels and boots with the caption "Special shoes will take you somewhere special". A familiar quote from popular drama 'Boys Over Flowers'. Shortly after that she likened a photo of her sneakers to notorious footwear fanatic David Beckham.
[caption id="attachment_641840" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption=""Special shoes will take you somewhere special""][/caption]
[caption id="attachment_641839" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption=""My kick game just like David Beckham""][/caption]
It's not clear whether these are all CL's shoes or if shoes of her other members made it into the closets. In either case, fans were shocked by her collection. As expected there were tons of Jeremy Scott sneakers, but CL also seems to be a fan of Christian Louboutin, Pierre Hardy, Gareth Pugh, Alexander Wang, Guiseppi Zanotti, and many more.

Employers across the trades are beginning to experience a shortage of skilled workers in fields ranging from auto mechanics and HVAC to steam fitting and welding. Baby Boomers make up a majority of those employed in such jobs and as they retire, their positions remain unfilled. In fact, The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the number of vacant skilled worker positions will be more than 5 million by 2010. If something doesn't change soon, that number could multiply to 14 million by 2015.
Since the mid-1970's, the standard for graduating high school seniors was to pursue a 4-year degree from a traditional college or university. Often, parents would push their children to pursue a 4-year degree saying "Don't be like me. Go to college." Presently, the effects are being felt across the U.S. economy and in people's lives. Students passed up education related to trades and the number of qualified personnel in trades such as refrigeration, pipefitting, and metal work remained in a state of decline with each passing year. Now, a surplus of men and women with 4-year degrees that they do not or cannot use continues to grow, and those same individuals are unqualified to do skilled work.
As more skilled worker positions continue to remain unfilled, some employers are resorting to asking retired workers to come out of retirement to work part-time; others are simply hiring unqualified personnel, resulting in a loss of productivity. Additionally, the skilled worker shortage is driving salaries skyward. A report recently published by renowned recruiting agency Manpower Professional, states that the shortage of skilled workers is forcing up wages for these jobs, and that 25% of employers surveyed said they were paying higher salaries for qualified workers.
The current lack of available skilled workers and the amount of unfilled positions proves to be quite a problem for employers across a number of industries. For the workers however, this proves to be a bastion of opportunity as a number of trades are considered to be recession-proof. When combined with rising wages, this poses a lucrative opportunity for job seekers. Many adults are going back to school and high-school seniors are rethinking the 4-year education that is believed to be the standard in exchange for 2-year programs that are trade-specific.
Where does one begin to research a 2-year program? TradeSchools.com features an extensive directory of 2-year schools and programs to help make students' educational decisions a little easier. Additionally, it provides students with career advice and guidance to help them choose the career and program that fits them best. TradeSchools.com aims to help the student every step of the way.

Linda Benedict, Guidry, Kurt M. | 9/1/2012 11:55:26 PM
News Release Distributed 09/01/12
LSU AgCenter specialists are in the process of collecting information about the damage to agricultural commodities across the state as a result of Hurricane Isaac. But to a large extent, the actual dollar losses will depend on weather conditions over the next few weeks.
Kurt Guidry, AgCenter economist, puts a rough figure of about $92 million so far in crop yield losses from Isaac, adding that he has no numbers yet on losses in the livestock industry. His estimate includes sugarcane, rice, corn, cotton, sweet potatoes, grain sorghum and pecans.
"That only includes estimates on yield losses – not increased production costs or quality damage," Guidry said.
Guidry will continue to gather information from assessments being conducted statewide by county agents and commodity production specialists.
"This ongoing effort could lead to additional impacts being identified for these commodities as well as other commodities," he said.
He said if rain continues, many farmers will likely experience delayed harvest, increased harvest costs and increased quality losses for their crops. But dry weather with some sunshine would help limit some of the losses producers may face, especially with sugarcane.
Kenneth Gravois, AgCenter sugarcane specialist, said dry weather and sunshine can help sugarcane blown over by fierce winds right itself and recover.
"The true extent of any sugarcane loss won't be known until harvest," he said, adding that maturity will be delayed, and the cost of harvest and planting will be increased.
So far, there appear to be no losses in the poultry industry, which is Louisiana's largest animal industry. Assessment of the beef cattle business is continuing.
"Based on the path of the storm, it would appear that the most significant impacts to the cattle industry will be confined to the southeastern portion of the state," Guidry said.
Dairy farmers had to deal with some isolated cases of fences being damaged, said Ronnie Bardwell, extension dairy agent at the Southeast Research Station in Franklinton. He said there may be some temporary decline in production because of cow stress.
After natural disasters, such as hurricanes, LSU AgCenter economists put together as quickly as possible numbers for losses, which are then used by farmers, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other agencies. AgCenter commodity specialists gather information from farmers and extension agents in the affected parishes.
Preliminary estimates show that the highest percentage loss from Isaac is to sweet potatoes at about 15 percent.
"We could see 15 percent losses in a few areas that received heavy rains and held water," said Tara Smith, AgCenter sweet potato specialist, adding that most sweet potato growing-areas received less than 4 inches of rain.
Guidry said the average statewide loss to pecan production could be about 12 percent while he estimated it to be about 10 percent for cotton.
Average statewide yield losses were estimated at less than 5 percent for sugarcane, 3.5 percent for soybeans, and less than 1 percent for other crops.
"Fortunately for commodities such as corn, grain sorghum and rice, the majority of those crops were harvested prior to the storm," Guidry said. "While those acres not harvested have experienced yield impacts, the impact to statewide production levels is expected to be limited."Linda Foster Benedict

There was plenty of ECHL news coming out of Alaska today, but not from the visitor's locker room.
Reign head coach Karl Taylor did not make any roster moves prior to the ECHL trade deadline at noon. That means, as unlikely as it might have seemed as little as three weeks ago, nobody's getting traded. Any roster change for the Reign will result from injuries, AHL call-ups, amateur or free-agent signings, or junior players being assigned by the Kings.
Any player who signs a pro contract must appear in at least five regular-season games to be included on the Reign's playoff roster. Amateurs aren't bound by the same rule.
The Alaska Aces made one deadline deal in advance of tonight's game against the Reign, trading defenseman Derick Martin to the Elmira Jackals for left wing Jarret Konkle.
The Aces also made headlines in the Anchorage Daily News by announcing they will be forced to host games 40 miles away from their home arena in first round of the playoffs. A look at the ECHL standings reveals that this isn't likely to impact the Reign, who are probably in the running for one of the National Conference's final three playoff positions along with the Aces.
Also worth noting: The AHL's Manchester Monarchs were left down a goalie for tonight's game when Jonathan Bernier was recalled by the Kings. But the Monarchs signed former Bakersfield Condors goaltender Josh Johnson – and neither of the Reign's two goalies – to back up Jeff Zatkoff.
