One of the things that troubles me most about SQL Injection is that is seems it is still very misunderstood.
Is the following psuedo-code vulnerable to SQL Injection?
String SearchTerm = {some user input here, unvalidated and unscrubbed -- uh oh !}
Command C = New Command("SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE Description LIKE '%' + @Match + '%'")
C.Parameters("@Match") = SearchTerm
Return C.Execute()
Also, consider the following T-SQL code as well. What do you think it will return?
CREATE TABLE Letters (Letter char(1) primary key)
INSERT INTO Letters (Letter) VALUES ('A')
INSERT INTO Letters (Letter) VALUES ('B')
INSERT INTO Letters (Letter) VALUES ('C')
INSERT INTO Letters (Letter) VALUES ('D')
DECLARE @Letters VARCHAR(10)
SET @Letters = 'A,B,C'
SELECT Letter FROM Letters WHERE Letter IN (@Letters)
It may not seem like it, but there is a very key concept that these two examples share: the difference between code that is executed versus expressions that are evaluated. The difference is crucial to understanding what SQL Injection is and where and when you should be worried about it (or not).
(Edit: the red part above was missing from the post initially ... sorry about the confusion. I also added some green color coding in the psuedo-code to help distinguish string literals from code)

Peter Dinklage is making the leap from "Game of Thrones" to the new "X-Men" movie, "Days of Future Past."
News of the casting came via a tweet by Bryan Singer, who will return to direct the newest installment of the sci-fi franchise that pits mutants against humanity:
Dinklage joins a star-studded cast that includes a mix of actors from Singer's first two "X-Men" movies and the Matthew Vaughn-directed prequel, "X-Men: First Class." Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Patrick Stewart are already on board for the time-traveling adventure based on one of the most well-known storylines of the "Uncanny X-Men" comic books.
'Game of Thrones': Peter Dinklage sees series challenges ahead
It's unclear what role Dinklage will play. While many have speculated that he could play the super-powered dwarf, Puck, that may be a stretch. While Puck, who is a member of the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight in the Marvel Universe, has had many adventures with the X-Men on the page and has appeared in the animated series, he's technically not a mutant.
That said, there are a few other casting suggestions for Dinklage, who has won the Emmy and Golden Globe for playing Tyrion Lannister in HBO's "Game of Thrones." But the blogosphere also seems unanimous that casting Dinklage was a brilliant decision.
What do you think about casting Dinklage? And do you think Singer will defy expectations and cast him in a role other than Puck?

Muhammad Abu-Leil says that he "always thought Jews were human like anyone else." But until the Israeli-Arab high school student participated in two projects with Haifa's progressive Leo Baeck Education Center, he never had any Jewish acquaintances.
"I have a lot of friends from Leo Baeck now," he tells ISRAEL21c. "I just got together with a few of them last night."
Muhammad's first encounter was through the Rotary International-sponsored Friends Forever: World Peace Grown Locally, originally aimed at conflict resolution in Northern Ireland.

"It was so successful in bringing Catholic and Protestant youth together that Rotary decided to see if it could have a similar impact on Muslim and Jewish Israeli youth," explains Carol Brauner, Baeck's immediate past director of international relations. "And last summer, Leo Baeck was invited to participate."
Muhammad was one of five students from Ein Mahel School near Nazareth who joined five Leo Baeck 11th-graders and an adviser for a two-week retreat at a New Hampshire house. Having no contact with home, the group went on an overnight trek to an Indian reservation, volunteered in a brain trauma unit and in a soup kitchen, and gave talks in pairs in a mosque, a synagogue, a church and a community center. By mutual agreement, they communicated in English.
Back home, the students all wanted to do more, including joint music and sports events. The Baeck participants approached Brauner last July for ideas, and she suggested to CEO Dani Fesler that a performing arts project could be facilitated through Baeck's 27-member Carmellim choir.
Fesler readily agreed. He engaged a professional choreographer and director, and a musical score in Hebrew, Arabic and English was written with student input. He then invited kids from Ein Mahel to come for tryouts, and was surprised to see 50 kids show up. Muhammad and 14 others made the grade.
"We presented them with a fait accompli — an Arab-Jewish original musical — and if they didn't like it they could drop out," Brauner tells ISRAEL21c. "All of them wanted it to succeed, and they understood they had to cooperate."
Step by step to peace
Step By Step-Sauwa Sauwa is loosely based on Broadway's long-running hit show A Chorus Line, giving glimpses into the lives of young performers auditioning for a musical starring Arab and Jewish teens. Each candidate walks to the front of the stage to answer questions about his or her aspirations, dreams and national identity.
The characters include, for instance, self-centered Eyal; insecure Ortal; rebellious Keren; high-school dropout George; Haula, who dreams of being a dancer and escaping her family home; and Daud, who told his friends that he's a dancer in Britney Spears shows.
The play opened the 2012 Haifa Young Artists Festival in March, and was performed in Zurich and in London in April before premiering back home in Haifa on June 13. A performance in Nazareth is being arranged for September, and the teen troupe is invited to tour Germany in December.
From his Friends Forever experience, Muhammad was clear about his goal for the play from the start: "To show people that there is a lot in common between Arab and Jewish kids, and they can be together peacefully without war."
Easier said than done.
"It was a roller-coaster of emotions — not an easy ride," Brauner admits. "There are serious issues among the kids, and if you give them a safe space, they want to discuss and confront these issues. But they can express their emotions and then get back on stage together."
'When you cooperate, things happen'
Many staffers and parents were skeptical that the project could succeed. However, "When you cooperate, things happen," says Brauner. "Just sitting to eat together at rehearsals four times a week after school together makes a difference."
Muhammad says his favorite part of the play is "singing one song together in Hebrew and Arabic. That is so cool."
The Carmellim members had the advantage of professional training, but rather than displaying impatience with the novice Arab actors, they aided them and even covered for their mistakes, says Brauner.
"We had to be united as a troupe, not as a group of Jews and a group of Arabs. And that was hard for us," says Jewish cast member Kim Ben Akiva in a documentary that Israeli director Yuval Ben Yehuda filmed about the making of the show. It's available for schools, discussion groups and special events in Israel and abroad.
New actors waiting their turn
Most of the cast members have become close friends, and the project has also had a salutary effect on their parents, who sat together at three Haifa performances supported by the municipality. Private donors contributed the rest of the budget.
"It's not just about the kids, but about all of us," Brauner says. "We see Step by Step as an ongoing process."
Some of the performers graduated in June, and "there's already a long line of kids who want to join. The existing cast will mentor the incoming members," Brauner explains.
"We do a lot of Arab-Jewish coexistence work here at Leo Baeck, including a summer camp and early childhood program for Arab children at risk, but it's getting harder to get teens together. This was a creative experiment and, thanks to our visionary CEO who had the guts to do this, it works."
Adds Ronni Sabba, a Haifa student: "I don't believe that after this project, anyone could hate the other side."

Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are hard at work filming Season 3 of "Portlandia," and to prove it IFC has released a sneak peek skit from the new season.
"Meditation Crush" hit the web last week (sorry I'm way behind!) and it shows Armisen and Brownstein as two members of a yoga class with very different thoughts about the other. It's quite funny and a perfect gift to hold fans over until Jan. 4, when the season begins.
But that's not all the good folks at "Portlandia" have for us. A pre-season bonus episode titled "Winter in Portlandia" will air at 9:30 p.m. CT Dec. 14 on IFC, and the book "Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors" hits book stores this week.
In the holiday episode, according to IFC, "Bohemian couple Peter and Nance struggle to keep off winter weight, Candace's son visits the feminist bookstore during the holidays and artisan curators Bryce and Lisa offer a winter vacation at their newly opened Outlet Hotel."
As for Season 3, IFC has announced that Chloe Sevigny will guest star as Fred and Carrie's new roommate and Kyle MacLachlan will return as Portland's mayor. Again, the season premieres at 9 p.m. CT Jan. 4 on IFC.
IFC released additional news about the new Portlandia Co-Op which you can read below.
The Portlandia Co-Op opens its doors at IFC.com in an effort to rally fans and reward their avid posting, liking, Tweeting, crafting and Pinning about all things Portlandia. Co-Op members can apply to take over the Portlandia Twitter handle, post art or images inspired by Portlandia on Instagram using #portlandia, or create handmade Portlandia coffee sleeves.
Command of the Portlandia Twitter feed will rotate to a new fan each week, chosen from online applicants. To commemorate fans' Portlandia-influenced artwork, IFC will commission an artist to create a poster inspired by the images, which will be placed on outdoor and print ad space nationwide. Lastly, IFC will be purchasing hand-made coffee sleeves from Co-Op participants (up to 20 sleeves per crafter) and will distribute them throughout independent coffee shops across the country. All participating Co-Op members will receive a screen-printed version of the fan-inspired Portlandia poster.

Email users save old email messages for several reasons: to keep meticulous communications records, for legal reasons, or to comply with corporate policy. Outlook uses Personal Folders (.pst) files to archive email messages. Problems can arise when users save numerous email messages. Archives sometimes grow so large that they corrupt the .pst file and make it useless. In addition, archives stored on network file servers can waste valuable disk space.
Although users rarely need to access email messages that are more than a year old, if they do, having an offline archive is useful. An offline archive is an archive stored on DLT, CD-ROM, or DVD. You can bring the archive online when you need to access data in the archive's time period. A problem with offline archiving is that some users are technically challenged and use one archive for everything rather than creating a separate archive for a specific time period. Another problem is that you need read and write permissions on a Personal Folder to open it. You can't open a Personal Folder from CD-ROM or DVD because the folder will be read-only.
Sometimes systems administrators must clean up archives stored on the network or intervene to prevent significantly large archives from becoming corrupted. Such tasks present problems because you can't just take away an archive from a user—especially if the user works from both the mailbox and archive. An ideal solution is to split the archive in such a way as to leave the user with only the most recent messages while storing the older messages in a separate archive for offline storage.
The script that Web Listing 1 shows uses Outlook's application object to split an archive. PSTSplitter.vbs creates a new archive file with the name you specify or an automatically generated name based on the script's parameters. Then, the script duplicates the entire folder structure from your archive so that messages stay in the same-named folder you originally stored them in. Finally, the script moves files from the old archive to the new archive based on the date range you specify. You need to use CScript.exe to run PSTSplitter.vbs because the script outputs its progress to the console window as it runs. One of the script's limitations is that it can process only archives that contain mail messages. Archived calendars, tasks, or journals, for example, don't transfer and might cause an error. The script also can't process .pst files that contain spaces in the path because of the fileExists method's limitations.
Outlook 2000 and later versions' AddStore and RemoveStore methods make PSTSplitter.vbs possible. You must run the script on a computer running Outlook 2000 or later. The computer must have an Outlook profile for an Exchange Server mailbox already created and set as the default Information Store (IS). The computer must not have any MSN Hotmail or IMAP accounts because the RemoveStore method can't remove these accounts. You'll also need access to the .pst file you're going to process, although the Outlook profile doesn't necessarily have to include the .pst file.
The AddStore method opens a .pst file in the current Outlook profile. Because you don't know the archive's display name beforehand, you can't assume it will be Archive Folder or Personal Folder. To prevent you from inadvertently moving files from the wrong archive, the script closes all Personal Folders in the Outlook profile. This step is important to note because the next time you open Outlook, you won't see your usual Personal Folders files in the folder hierarchy. The script then opens the old archive you specified and creates a new archive file. The AddStore method automatically creates a blank .pst file if the filename you specified doesn't exist.
A recursive method called CreateFolders traverses the old archive folders and creates the folders in the new archive, thus replicating the old archive's folder structure in the new archive. The CreateFolders method simultaneously checks each mail item in the folder it's processing to determine whether the CreationTime (i.e., the timestamp when the item was created) falls between the start and end dates you passed to the script through command-line parameters. If the item was created between these dates, the Move method moves the item into the new archive in the corresponding folder.
The script ends when all the mail items are processed. The last thing the script does is close the Outlook profile's archives. The script doesn't reclaim any space; to reclaim lost space, open the old archive and compact the folder. To accomplish this task, open the .pst file in Outlook, right-click the Personal Folders file, click Advanced, and click Compact Now.

Directing, according to Mike Kiley, who ran his own theater for years, is 90 percent getting the cast right.
Directing, according to Mike Kiley, who ran his own theater for years, is 90 percent getting the cast right.
If that's the case, Shawn Carrington passed the biggest test of his directorial debut with the ensemble he put together for "Lend Me a Tenor," which previewed on Wednesday and opens today for a month of weekend shows at Stockton Civic Theatre.
The farce had the audience laughing loudly as it followed the implausible story of a famed tenor arriving in 1934 Cleveland to play Otello in the local opera company, only to overdose on tranquilizers and set up a crazed situation for the opera company's director and his lackey.
The strong cast makes "Lend Me a Tenor" work, but Carrington's deft handling of the material deserves credit for making the comedy a nice tonic for a cold winter night. Specifically, Carrington appreciates the fact that it's a well-written script, and that the humor comes from the dialogue and situations. He has his actors play their roles straight, so the comedy doesn't feel forced. The biggest danger of staging a farce is overplaying, hamming up every scene until an audience feels as though it's been arm twisted to the point of crying "uncle." That never happens. The characters seem real, so their conversations and antics feel genuine.
The delightful cast makes the work look easy, when it most definitely is not. The delivery of lines and the physical action require precision timing right down to the curtain call, and this team is a Swiss watch in action. There isn't a weak link in the company of veterans and newcomers.
Among the latter group are Joseph Smith, Mike Kiley and David Nelson.
In horn-rimmed glasses and argyle sweater, Smith is ideal as the befuddled and put-upon assistant Max, who dreams of stardom and a life with Maggie, the object of his affection and the daughter of his boss. Such a character can become embarrassingly whiney, but Smith never lets that happen. He's insecure and nervous, but he's never unlikeable.
Smith plays well against Kiley, who is fabulous as Henry Saunders, the angst-filled company director and Max's boss. He and Smith, who worked together at Kiley's Dinner Theatre, are completely in sync. Their comic timing is impeccable, which is absolutely necessary for the rapid-fire dialogue they share as they complete one another's sentence as they rumble along the tracks on the same train of thought.
Nelson is absolutely convincing as a bellhop in a posh hotel, right down to the silly hat held securely in place with a thick black strap under his chin. The get-up alone - compliments of costumer Elsa Fulton, who recreates the 1930s with style - makes you laugh, but Nelson makes the officious bellhop a real person with quirks and dreams of his own.
Richard Garvin, a frequent SCT performer and director, handles the challenge of Tito Merelli, an Italian prima donna, with great skill. He never steps out of character or loses his accent. He's loud and brash and is a perfect foil for Saunders, but he also shares some rather sweet moments as a mentor to Max.
"Lend Me a Tenor" is predominately a man's show, but each woman gets her chance to shine, and all four cast members seize the moment.
Elaine Saculla, who has been working backstage at SCT, steps in front of the curtain and literally sparkles as Julia, chairwoman of the opera guild. Saculla has a clear image of the joy Julia derives from being in charge.
Jennifer Hastings, who has done more choreography than acting lately for SCT, makes a fine Diana, a local diva who hopes to rise to the world of big time opera, and Andrea Daste successfully pulls off the frustrated Italian wife of Merelli in her return to SCT.
Newcomer Sarah Spenker enjoys the most stage time of the women. Making her SCT debut, she's convincing as the starstruck young woman who's not quite as innocent as she appears.
Together this wonderful ensemble fits nicely on the Brian Johnson-designed hotel suite set. The cityscape visible from the living room window is a typically creative Johnson touch, and the doors and rooms of the suite play their own important roles in the story.
The stars, though, are the cast members and the director who guided them through it.

Hello everyone!
I've been a long time ScummVM user on the PC, but this is the first time I'm writing to the forum! Big thanks to the team for this wonderful application!
I have a question about the PSP version of ScummVM. I'm trying to play Fate of Atlantis (the talkie version).
Everything works and play fine but the screen resolution doesn't seem to be correct. All I want, is to display the game at its original resolution or stretched but keep its original resolution shape at 4:3 (I'm not very good at technical things so please forgive me for the bad explanation). However when I check the correct aspect ratio button, it simply takes slightly less then the whole screen of the PSP but it still isn't the correct game resolution (it is still stretched). Is there an option or anything I can do in order to display the game as it was originally made?
Thank you very much
Anyone regarding this issue...?
I'm still interested if someone has something to say...
I similarly noticed that from many versions of ScummVM for PSP the correct 4x3 aspect ratio is not maintained.
That's why I did the simplest thing: I recompiled my own version of PSP ScummVM, where I corrected the proper aspect ratio in the code.
Can you please share that version?Last edited by DragonBoy on Sat Sep 16, 2017 3:38 pm; edited 1 time in total
Please PM if someone needs 4x3 aspect ratio version of PSP ScummVM

In addition, psoriasis is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.3-5 Even mild cases of psoriasis may increase the risk of heart attack by up to 29%.6 The chronic inflammation characteristic of psoriasis (and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus) puts patients at risk.7, 8
In addition to cardiovascular disease, psoriasis patients are also more likely to suffer from insulin resistance, depression, cancer, osteoporosis, and liver disease—also likely due to chronic inflammation.9-11
Nutritional intervention should always be tried first before powerful and potentially dangerous drugs are prescribed.
Conventional treatments for autoimmune diseases suppress the immune system to halt the body's immune attack on itself. However, this makes the body more susceptible to infections and even cancers—one study found that autoimmune patients with the greatest exposure to immunosuppressive drugs had an almost 5-fold increase in cancer risk.12 The FDA has issued warnings on certain
The FDA has issued warnings on certain drugs used to treat autoimmune diseases because of increased cancer risk.13Mild to moderate psoriasis can often be treated with topical medications only—these are safer than systemic medications, but still have significant side effects such as skin thinning, pigmentation changes, bruising easily, stretch marks, redness, and acne. They also may stop working over time.14
Nutrition is a powerful and safe tool for preventing and treating autoimmune diseases.15-20Although psoriasis has a genetic component (about one-third of patients have a family history),2 it is also influenced by what we eat. Those with a high intake of green vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, and fresh fruits are less likely to develop psoriasis.
Oxidative stress, which can be lessened by these antioxidant-rich foods, is thought to contribute to skin inflammation in psoriasis. Furthermore, psoriasis symptoms have been shown to improve using dietary methods in several scientific studies.21

I have been recommending a high-nutrient (Nutritarian) diet combined with selected supplements and when needed, and episodic fasting to help the body to calm inflammation and remove cellular toxins. High nutrient plant foods supply substances that support immune system function, allowing the body to have proper defenses against infections and cancers.
Supervised water fasting is another important component to autoimmune treatment—I have documented the contribution of fasting to remission of autoimmune disease in published case reports.22 Keep in mind also, that the conditions that psoriasis sufferers are vulnerable to—heart disease in particular—are also those that can be prevented with healthful lifestyle habits.
The only side effects of nutritional treatment are positive ones—protective effects against heart disease, diabetes, and cancers. This health-promoting protocol longevity as it normalizes immune function.
Dietary Intervention for Autoimmune Diseases
Natural methods can help you calm the inflammation in your body and reduce or even eliminate your need for medications. I urge everyone with an autoimmune disease to try these natural methods before resigning themselves to a life of dangerous medications and progressively worsening disease:
- High-nutrient, vegetable-based diet rich in greens
- Fresh vegetable juices
- Fish oil or plant-based EPA and DHA supplements
- Probiotic supplement
- Avoidance of salt, wheat, and oils
- Assuring no micronutrient deficiencies are present
Using these methods, many of my patients who once suffered from autoimmune diseases have now recovered and are free of illness as well as the toxic side effects of the drugs. Some of the people with these recoveries have written me, but I have never actually met them. All they did was read one of my books and follow the protocols detailed online.
Jodi, who has recovered from psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis is an excellent example:
"I started experiencing skin rashes and joint pain as a teenager more than 40 years ago. Back then, in the 60's, I don't think doctors knew much about autoimmune conditions (perhaps not even now). I was put on various drugs, including steroids, plaquenil, methotrexate and antihistamines, which swelled my body up like a beached whale.
I was on medication for almost 20 years and saw different medical specialists including allergists, dermatologists, hematologists, rheumatologists, and endocrinologists.
By the time I turned 50 in 1999, I was covered from head-to-toe with psoriasis and tested positive for other autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto's and Sjogren's. The medications only helped a little and I suffered from joint pain, unable to function normally for over twenty years in spite of taking all the medications prescribed by rheumatologists.
In my quest for improved health, I read Dr. Fuhrman's books and I have been following his eating plan since 2001 with much success. I take no medications and have no symptoms of psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. The body has incredible healing powers if given the proper nutrients and care. I have also lost 20 pounds and breezed through menopause. I consider myself 58 years young."

Who says a woman can't be the God of Thunder?
In October, a new, female Thor will rise to replace the Odinson that Marvel readers have known since "Journey Into Mystery" No. 83 in 1962, the company announced Tuesday morning on ABC's "The View" talk show.
It's a major shake-up of a Marvel bedrock character, and the company is hammering home that the change is no gimmick.
"This is not She-Thor," said Jason Aaron, who will write the new series, in a statement. "This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is Thor. This is the Thor of the Marvel Universe. But it's unlike any Thor we've ever seen before."
And the one-word title bears that out: "Thor." Aaron, writer of the current, acclaimed "Thor, God of Thunder," will be joined by artist Russell Dauterman ("Cyclops," "Supurbia") in the new series, which finds the present Thor unable to wield the mystic hammer Mjolnir, which can grant any who hold it – provided they are worthy – the power of the thunder god.
"The inscription on Thor's hammer reads, 'Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.' Well, it's time to update that inscription," Marvel editor Wil Moss said in a statement. "And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute – she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!"
Thor will join the swelling ranks of headlining heroines at Marvel: "Captain Marvel" (starring former Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers and written by Kelly Sue DeConnick) has inspired a fervent following known as the Carol Corps. A new G. Willow Wilson-written "Ms. Marvel," featuring Pakistani American and Muslim teenager Kamala Khan, has impressed readers and critics. And recent ongoing series of "She-Hulk," "Black Widow" and more have marked the company's outreach to have even more women and girls join the traditionally largely male ranks of its readership.
But this may be the most thunderous arrival of a female-led Marvel title yet.
It is not the first time someone other than the outgoing Thor has held the hammer: His vast power (strength, weather and electric control, flight, opening interdimensional portals and more) has been granted at times to the alien Beta Ray Bill and human Eric Masterson, who became known as the hero Thunderstrike.
Marvel's familiar Thor was introduced in 1960s stories as having been banished from Asgard by that realm's leader, his father, Odin, as punishment for his arrogance. He lived on Earth under the guise of Dr. Donald Blake for years before being allowed to revert to his older form – and even then led a double life for years. (And, as comics go, later Dr. Blake became his own being, separate from Thor.)
So who will the new protector of the real of Asgard be? Sif? Angela? Marvel isn't saying yet. Take your best guess in the comments section below.

Just Grace Walks the Dog: Excerpt
There are two kinds of unfortunate things: those that are unfortunate because they have not happened, and those that are unfortunate because they already really did happen. I am pretty unlucky, because right now in my life I have both kinds of unfortunate things happening at the exact same time! My unfortunate thing that did not happen is that I am not allowed to have a dog, and my unfortunate thing that did happen is that at school everyone calls me Just Grace.
Some people say that when bad stuff happens in your life it gives you lots of character, which means that you end up being a super-interesting person when you grow up. I must be filling up with character pretty fast, because unfortunate stuff is always especially happening to me. Maybe that means I'll be on TV or something when I get big.
When something unfortunate happens it is probably better if the unfortunate thing is a mistake instead of an on-purpose unfortunate thing. So I am at least lucky about that, because my biggest unfortunate thing was definitely 100 percent an accident.
My real name is Grace, but at school my name is Just Grace, which is an unusual, stupid, and completely dumb name. How something can change from nothing special to completely dumb is a long, unfortunate story, and one that I am very tired of explaining. But if I don't explain it, then people think that it's an on-purpose thing and that my parents were crazy to name me that, and that I have been living with the awful Just Grace name since the day I was born, and maybe even worse, that I actually like it. And then they will look at me like I am 100 percent Just Grace. So I have to tell them the story so they can know that only my outside is Just Grace and that on my insides I'm a solid Grace all the way through. It's like being a girl M&M. I look like Just Grace/candy on the outside, but on the inside I'm all Grace/chocolate! It might not seem like it, but it makes a big difference!
There are four girls named Grace in my class. Miss Lois, my teacher, said that we all had to change our names or she would never be able to get the right Grace's attention when she said "Grace." Even when she was explaining this I could kind of tell she was right because all four of us looked up when she said Grace, and Peter Marchelli, who sits right next to me, didn't even stop doodling on his desk. Miss Lois named Grace Wallace "Grace W.," and Grace Francis "Grace F.," and Grace Landowski "Gracie," and then right before she got to me I said, "Well, if everyone else is having a new name, can I be called just Grace?" Since no one else was using the Grace name, it seemed like maybe I could have it. But Miss Lois didn't understand me, and even when I tried to tell her about her mistake she still didn't listen, or even care about it anymore. She closed her ears and wrote Just Grace in her rule book of class names and attendance.
And then suddenly it was school law forever, that my new dumb name was Just Grace, because once it is written in the book it can never be changed. The first person to make fun of me was Grace F., and that was no surprise because back then she was still the Big Meanie and I thought she hated me. But that was before she changed back into Grace F., who is really very funny and an excellent artist, which are two things you would not imagine could be true until you got to know her.
Grace F., Grace W., and I all had to do a project together, and that is how we all became friends. Grace L. was in another group so she got to be friends with Walker Marcie and Bethany, but I still think it made her sad that she was not friends with us, because our names were all Grace and she was a Grace too, but not one who was in our group. I can figure out stuff like that because of my teeny tiny superpower. My superpower helps me know when people are unhappy, even if they are pretending to be happy, and even if they are very good actors. It's called empathy power. The hard thing about superpowers is that they don't come with an instruction book so it's not always easy to know exactly when and how to use them. I think other superpowers, like superstrength or x-ray eyes, would be a lot easier to work. I felt sorry for Grace L. when we other Graces were joking around and having so much fun calling each other Grace, Grace, and Grace. But I couldn't figure out what to do to help her, so I pretended I didn't notice she was sad. This is a very hard thing for a person with my superpower to do, and it can sometimes end up giving me a stomachache.

America's most powerful gun lobby has defended the use of firearms and argued that armed guards could have prevented the Sandy Hook school shooting.
Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), called on the US Congress to immediately pass legislation to place guards with guns in schools by the time classes resume from winter breaks in January.
He said the proposal was aimed at stopping the next killer "waiting in the wings", claiming that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun".
Banks, sports stadiums, airports and court houses already have such protection, he added.
"If we truly cherish our kids more than our money, more than our celebrities ... we must give them the greatest level of protection available," Mr LaPierre added.
He argued in favour of a "model school shield" programme consisting of volunteer patrols to be implemented at every school nationwide, at any cost.
The NRA's comments came exactly a week after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 young children, at the school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Former Republican Congressman Asa Hutchinson, also speaking at the news conference, said armed, trained guards would be part of the programme but not all of it.
He said local school boards could decide on a case-by-case basis if schools should not have guards.
Mr Hutchinson called the NRA a natural choice to head up the "potentially life-saving effort" because of its gun safety, marksmanship and hunter education programmes.
Two protesters from the social justice group Code Pink interrupted the news conference, holding banners in front of Mr LaPierre and shouting that the NRA "is killing our kids".
They were quickly removed from the room.
Mr LaPierre also suggested creating a national database of those with mental health issues.
And he blasted the media and video game industries as "a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people".
The NRA's propositions come as President Barack Obama vowed to address gun control , and appointed Vice President Joe Biden to lead a working group of administration officials and outside advisers to offer recommendations by January.
Parents and administrators' reactions were ranging from hesitation to anger over the NRA proposal.
Superintendent Hank Grishman of the Jericho, New York, schools on Long Island said he was outraged by the idea.
He said putting more guns in schools will not make children safer, and could even put them in the line of more gunfire.
Parent Helen Gym in Philadelphia called it "extraordinarily opportunistic".
Many of the nation's schools already do have armed school resource police officers on campus.
On Friday morning people in Newtown and across the nation observed a moment of silence to honour the shooting victims.
Gunman Adam Lanza, 20, also killed his mother one week ago before later taking his own life at Sandy Hook Elementary school.

The Bulldogs spoiled Elon's season opener Saturday, defeating the Phoenix 6-1 in North Carolina. Brandon Wai and Milosz Gudowski both earned straight-set victories, and five of six singles matches resulted in wins for the Bulldogs.
In the No. 1 match, Ryan Murphy defeated Pramote Malasitt, 6-1, 4-6, 6-0, and Wai dispatched Eric Haase 6-3, 7-5 at the 2 slot. Rowan Reynolds came back from a first set loss to beat Thomas Rohof 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, and Gudzowski was an easy 6-0, 6-1 victor against Justin Roberson. Neil Tolaney also rebounded from a first set deficit, defeating Mike Prelec 1-6, 6-2, 7-6 to give Yale their fifth victory in singles.
Yale's Johnny Lu was defeated in a hard-fought contest in the No. 5 position by Sebastian Bredberg and fell 4-6, 6-2, 7-6.
In doubles action, two out of three matches were won by the Bulldogs. Reynolds and Andrew Rosenfeld were 9-7 winners over Rohof and Roberson, while Tolaney and Chris Lawler won 8-2 against Bredberg and Prelec. Murphy and Wai fell to Malasitt and Haase in the No. 1 doubles position.
The 1-1 Elis will be idle until Feb. 20th, when they host Army at 2:30 p.m.

1. Re: Morphing using large set of external pointsMuppet Mark Mar 13, 2012 7:35 AM (in response to Erik_X)
I don't know any VB… but the scripting model is the same for each language AI supports… Path point's properties have r/w access… So in theory yes script could do this…
2. Re: Morphing using large set of external pointsErik_X Mar 14, 2012 2:36 AM (in response to Muppet Mark)
Yes, in theory, scripts should allow me to parse all the objects. Indeed, from a practical point of view, calculating the displacement of each point is quite complicated. I use a Delaunay triangulation. I would need to implement it in VB or Java. It is not reasonable. Or may be call an external home made library (DLL).
Well, as suggested elsewhere, I will just save as ai file without compression and parse such a text file with my own external software.
3. Re: Morphing using large set of external pointsThinkingThings Mar 14, 2012 8:09 AM (in response to Erik_X)
I'm not sure ifI totally understand what you are trying to do but I use Visual Basic in Visual Studio to run concurrently with AI. I develop in Visual Studio and just use a run-time debuggers to make the script (and all it's non-AI scripting logic) interact in real-time with the AI files at will. I don't know anything about Delaunay triangulation, but it would possibly seem that if the algorithm can be called from VB and path points have read-write access, as Mark said, then I think that this could possibly (in theory) work for you.
Please let us know how you make out.
Good luck!
4. Re: Morphing using large set of external pointsErik_X Mar 15, 2012 11:10 AM (in response to ThinkingThings)
Using Delaunay triangulation is the usual way for morphing raster images. You use it to calculate the transformation in between your set of points. I already have Pascal code (not written by myself) to do that using Delphi.
My first idea was to use Delphi to parse some exchange file format to modify the coordinates of each point. So I started with SVG but discovered that Illustrator is storing an AI file inside the SVG and read it back instead of the SVG data. So, you can modify the SVG data, Illustrator don't care about it. Same with EPS.
Now, I'm working directly on AI file saved without compression option (from Illustrator 10). But I'm discovering some nasty things. It is supposed to be text file. All the lines are not always finishing with CRLF. Some are just ending with CR or LF. And if you change it, Illustrator won't open the file back. Now I'm changing coordinates of objects. And Illustrator only open a part of the file before displaying an error message. This seems to be related to obj/stream section. This is not documented in the specs available on the net. Still investigating.
5. Re: Morphing using large set of external pointsErik_X Mar 23, 2012 9:05 AM (in response to ThinkingThings)
The final(?) word.
Indeed, Illustrator don't seem to care so much on the end of lines but to the size of the content in the obj/stream sections. So if you change the number of chars in an obj/stream, it can't read the file back. So I saved to an older version, the 8.0, that don't use stream. I was able to modify it and re-open it without problem.

MAYVILLE - It's hard not to be intimidated sitting in the passenger seat of the county's new emergency services mobile command truck.
At 13 feet tall and 38 feet long, the truck is a force on the road, and one that may soon be showing up to major accidents and fires in the county.
So it's easy to understand why county fire and police officials are excited to show off their newest toy - courtesy of federal Homeland Security grants in the amount of $400,000. No local taxpayer money was used in the purchase.

The Department of Natural Resources in Larimer County, Colorado proposed a ban on gold panning on DNR properties, claiming the department needed to sort out its mineral rights. But, Colorado gold prospectors joined together and convinced Larimer County commissioners Tom Donnelly and Steve Johnson that banning gold panning in county parks and open spaces was a bad idea. The third county commissioner, Lew Gaiter, was on vacation during the decision made Dec. 18. Gold was first discovered in Colorado in 1859 and has been a state staple ever since, employing more than 5,000 people to this day, according to the Colorado Mining Association and a Denver Post article, "Larimer County may outlaw panning for gold on county property," which was published Nov. 18. At the December meeting with county commissioners, DNR representatives asked the county to add minerals to its do not disturb list, which currently restricts the removal, collection or destruction of vegetation, signs, fences and buildings. News of the possible ban broke in mid-November in the Denver Post and began a stir among the Colorado mining community. Rick Mattingly, Gold Prospectors Association of America member and coordinator of the Rocky Mountain Prospectors and Treasure Hunters in Loveland, Colo., said the proposal to ban panning or create a permitting process for the activity was "absolute lunacy" and had nothing to do with mineral rights. In fact, news of the DNR's proposal to stop gold panners in their tracks had Mattingly laughing at the absurdity of the ban, but it also had Mattingly and fellow prospectors from around the state up in arms. "Quite frankly, I'm not gonna go out and pay for a permit to pan in Larimer County," Mattingly said with a chuckle. "It's ridiculous. I'd be better off to keep my permit fee — I'd be further ahead so all they're doing is hurting the amateur recreationalist and families who are [panning]." Mattingly said that even though visitors and residents of Larimer County might not find much gold, folks still like to give it a go, and they should have the right to pursue the shiny mineral. "Not one of my family [members] that have come to visit from out of state didn't want to come to the stream and pan for gold," he said. "It's a big thrill; they find some sparkly thing in the pan, mica, and think, 'Oh, it's gold!' " While the amount of gold in Larimer County may be minimal, there is still a lot to be found throughout the state, which puts up a red flag for other prospectors in Colorado. "It just frustrates me to no end — these bureaucrats and their crazy schemes," Mattingly said. "Unsolicited, I've gotten phone calls from all across the state where people see this as the camel's nose under the edge of the tent. And, they are just livid. They're stirring up a big pot here." High Plains Prospectors GPAA Chapter President Johnny Walker, who lives in Westminster, Colo., made his presence known and helped put a stop to the proposed ban on panning. "My phone and email have been quite active since this came out in the [Denver Post]," Walker said. Walker said he suspects the proposed ban might have had something to do with the environmental extremists who have been creeping into the area. "Colorado State University in Fort Collins trains veterinarians and has grown a very liberal political base due mostly to the school being a more reasonably priced education than Colorado University," Walker said. On a side note, Walker said approving the ban on panning would have been quite the hypocritical move based on recent actions carried out by the commissioners. "The last action the commissioners approved was for a housing development. In simply digging the holes for the foundations of the houses and moving the material for curb-and-gutter streets, they will have moved many times more dirt and gravel than all the prospector clubs in Colorado combined would move in several years," Walker said. Dan Rieves, DNR visitor services manager for Larimer County said his department was attempting to right wrongs, not seize rights with the panning ban. "We have to get a structure in place because we don't have any right now," he said. "And, we've got this situation where we've got this labyrinth of properties. Several of them have mineral rights issues on them and we're just trying to buy a little time so we can kind of figure out which properties are conducive to the activity and which properties are not going to have any mineral rights problems. "We don't want people to get jammed up out there." According to a follow-up article published in the Denver Post, Johnson said that if the DNR in Larimer County wants to regulate mineral rights in the future, it should first form a committee and seek out the opinions of local prospectors. Though Rieves said his department was not attempting to "ban" any prospecting activities, he encouraged prospectors to lay down their pans when the department first voiced its intentions in November. "I would hate for someone who has a claim filed that we don't know about ... come forward and say there's been some sort of defamation of their claim because someone else has been working it," he said. "It sounds crazy. It sounds like we would know if there's a claim on property we own, but a lot of time we don't know." Rieves said this issue initially arose after an influx in prospectors along with frequent questions from DNR staff. "The only reason it came up now is in the past 18 months we've see more people out panning and using sluices than in the last 15 years. Certainly there's greater interest because gold prices are what they are. I know there's some TV shows and other things that are making the knowledge base a little more accessible ... we were just getting a lot of calls," Rieves said. "We have regulations in place for removing rocks and trees and artifacts and all these other things and we kind of have this loophole on the mineral issue — particularly small-scale gold mining and gold panning." Not only are minerals not mentioned in current regulations, but Rieves also said his department needs to do its homework and update its database on which lands they do and do not have mineral rights. "Larimer County owns a few pieces of property where we ... don't own mineral rights. We have a lot of other properties that we just manage on the behalf of other agencies. Even the ones we own, we don't necessarily have mineral rights or the ability to greenlight activities such as panning or small claim mining," he said. The department hoped to fill in the mineral loophole by adding "minerals" to the non-removal list, Rieves said. "Our rangers out in the field kept coming across these guys and didn't have an answer to their questions and didn't know what was allowed. Then those questions percolated up and we drafted a white paper and submitted that to the county attorney. The county attorney said, 'Yeah, absolutely, we need to slow things down until we can draft this,' " he said. "Ideally, what I'd like to do is pick a few of the properties, spend the money, spend the time, do the research and kind of designate those as areas where people can go and pan and partake in the activity in an area where nobody's gonna get in trouble, ourselves included." It was not just panning, but admittedly, dredging that sparked this idea from the DNR, Rieves said. "You cannot just go out and freelance pan," he said. "It wasn't panning as much as it was the 20-foot-long sluice box with the gas powered water pump and all these types of things. Again, we just needed to put some regulations in place." But, Mattingly said the notion of creating a permit for any prospecting in the county and all the reasoning behind needing a permit is laughable and unwarranted. "That would be totally ludicrous to go through the permit process to allow somebody to do something that isn't there in the first place," he said. "They're ridiculous claims that they're just seeing this giant uptick of all these prospectors out in the stream. It's just total lunacy. This crap about the mineral rights is totally ridiculous. "It's not like the county has any other issues or problems to resolve, but they've got time for this ridiculous crap? Our county tax money being well spent, again." Although the DNR proposed restrictions on mining, Rieves said he is not against prospecting. "I think there's a room for gold panning for sure in Larimer County and certainly on the properties that are managed by our department. We've just got to find out where that's at," he said. Mattingly and his fellow prospectors in and around Colorado knew that if this regulation had passed it would have been much bigger than Larimer County. "It's getting harder and harder [to prospect]. Most of us have been around a long time and remember the days when you could go anywhere," Mattingly said. "But, my gosh, every time you turn around somebody's fencing something off. They're blocking everything off and creating new, stupid laws like this. It's just getting to the point where you just can't do it anymore. It's just a cryin' shame."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minnesota man was charged Wednesday with shooting his wife after an argument, sawing her body into pieces and hiding her remains in plastic bins in a friend's garage.
Steven Roger Johnson, 34, of St. Paul, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Manya Jewel Johnson, 32. According to the criminal complaint, Johnson admitted that he killed his wife on Sunday after she told him she was leaving and taking the couple's 18-month-old son with her.
Johnson allegedly told police he had been drinking when he shot his wife in the head and "used a saw to dismember her body in the shower and he placed her in several plastic bins," the complaint said. Johnson said he then cleaned up his home to hide any evidence and took the bins to his friend's garage in the St. Paul suburb of White Bear Lake.
The friend didn't know what had happened until Johnson told him later, and the friend called authorities.
Johnson was in custody Wednesday and unavailable for comment. He was initially assigned a public defender, and a message left at that office was not returned. His bail was set at $2 million.
Ramsey County Attorney John Choi called the dismemberment "an elaborate scheme to try to cover this up," and said he was grateful Johnson's friend came forward.
"It's very horrifying. It shocks the conscience of our community," Choi said.
According to the charges, St. Paul police went to the Johnson home Monday to check on Manya Johnson. When officers arrived, they were told that White Bear Lake police had received a call from Johnson's friend, who reported that Johnson told him Manya Johnson was dead and her body was in his garage.
While St. Paul police were at Johnson's home, he showed up with one of his wife's co-workers. They told police they were looking for Manya, and Johnson said he had left his job to look for his wife after getting a text message saying she hadn't shown up for work.
Manya's co-worker and Johnson told police they found her car at a park-and-ride lot.
As an officer was talking with Johnson, an agent with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension called the officer and said authorities had found the dismembered body.
Johnson was then arrested, the complaint said.
Choi said the crime is an unfortunate example of how quickly domestic violence can escalate into homicide.
"The tragedy about all of this is there is also an 18-month-old involved," Choi said. "He's going to be without a mother and likely to be without a father for a very, very long time."
Choi said the boy is being cared for and is safe.
Johnson was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in 1996, after he and an accomplice allegedly handcuffed a woman in a car and raped her. Authorities alleged Johnson threatened to kill the woman and claimed he had a gun.

Video projector
A video projector is an image projector that receives a video signal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through manual settings.
Video projectors are used for many applications such as conference room presentations, classroom training, home cinema and concerts. In schools and other educational settings,[1] they are sometimes connected to an interactive whiteboard. In the late 20th century they became commonplace in home cinema. Although large LCD television screens became quite popular, video projectors are still common among many home theater enthusiasts.
A video projector, also known as a digital projector, may project onto a traditional reflective projection screen, or it may be built into a cabinet with a translucent rear-projection screen to form a single unified display device.
Common display resolutions for contemporary (as of 2012) portable projectors include SVGA (800×600 pixels), XGA (1024×768 pixels), 720p (1280×720 pixels), and 1080p (1920×1080 pixels).
The cost of a device is determined by its resolution and its light output. A projector with a higher light output (measured in lumens, "lm") is required for a larger screen or for a room with a larger amount of ambient light.[2] For example, a light output of approximately 1500 to 2500 ANSI lumens is suitable for small screens viewed in rooms with low ambient light; approximately 2500 to 4000 lm is suitable for medium-sized screens with some ambient light; over 4000 lm is needed for very large screens or for use in rooms with no lighting control such as conference rooms.
A few camcorders have a built-in projector suitable to make a small projection; a few more powerful "pico projectors" are pocket-sized, and many projectors are portable.
Projection technologies[edit]
- CRT projector using cathode ray tubes. This typically involves a blue, a green, and a red tube. This is the oldest system still in regular use, but falling out of favor largely because of the bulky cabinet. However, it does provide the largest screen size for a given cost. This also covers three-tube home models which, while bulky, can be moved (but then usually require complex picture adjustments to get the three images to line up correctly).
- LCD projector using LCD light gates. This is the simplest system, making it one of the most common and affordable for home theaters and business use. Its most common problem is a visible "screen door" or pixelation effect, although recent advances have reduced the severity of this effect.
- DLP projector using Texas Instruments' DLP technology. This uses one, two, or three microfabricated light valves called digital micromirror devices (DMDs). The single- and double-DMD versions use rotating color wheels in time with the mirror refreshes to modulate color. The most common problem with the single- or two-DMD varieties is a visible "rainbow" which some people perceive when moving their eyes. More recent projectors with higher speed (2x or 4x) and otherwise optimised color wheels have lessened this effect. Systems with 3 DMDs never have this problem, as they display each primary color simultaneously.
- LCoS projectors (liquid crystal on silicon). Such projectors often process light in the Fourier domain, which enables correction of optical aberrations using Zernike polynomials.[3] Some commercially available technologies include:
- LED projectors use one of the above-mentioned technologies for image creation, with a difference that they use an array of Light Emitting Diodes as the light source, negating the need for lamp replacement.
- Hybrid LED and laser diode system developed by Casio. Uses a combination of Light Emitting Diodes and 445 nm laser diodes as the light source, while image is processed with DLP (DMD) chip.
- Laser diode projectors have been developed by Microvision and Aaxa Technologies. Microvision projectors use Microvision's patented MEMS laser beam-steering technology, whereas Aaxa Technologies uses laser diodes + LCoS.
Obsolete technologies[edit]
- Eidophor oil-film projectors
- LIA (light image amplifier) light valves
- Schmidt-CRT, developed by Kloss Video
- Talaria oil-film projectors
Do-it-yourself video projectors[edit]
Some hobbyists build a do-it-yourself (DIY) projector for low cost. They build their projectors from kits, sourced components, or from scratch, using a television set as a light source. Through the internet, they obtain plans to construct them[4] for domestic and classroom use.

Dio's 'Holy Diver' To Be Released In Newly Remastered Version
One of the Top 25 metal albums of all time is being reissued this month. Dio's 'Holy Diver,' originally released in 1983, will be available on Jan. 31.
The never version will feature all nine original songs and a "two-page spread of the photo-montage LP liner, with images from both (Dio's) Rainbow and Black Sabbath days, that was included on the original release."
A statement from Audio Fidelity also says the reissue is mastered by specialist Steve Hoffman, and includes hits like 'Stand Up and Shout,' 'Straight Through the Heart' and 'Rainbow in the Dark.'
The album is considered by many to be the band's best work and now fans will get to hear it straight from the original 1983 studio tapes.
IGN Entertainment listed 'Holy Diver' at No. 8 on its list of Top 25 Metal Albums. It was made soon after singer Ronnie James Dio left Sabbath in 1982. Over the next ten years it would go on to achieve platinum certification in the U.S. and Silver certification in Britain.
