Microsoft's COFEE Computer Forensic Tools Leaked
from the that-can't-be-good dept
Well, late last week, reports started showing up noting that COFEE itself had been leaked to various file sharing sites. Apparently, the program had been quite sought after at private tracker What.cd -- though, after it was leaked there, the admins actually removed the torrent.
Still, you have to imagine that the software is very much out there. So, the question still remains, is this a big deal or not? When we did our original post, many people insisted that there was no big deal in Microsoft COFEE and it was just basic everyday auditing software. Yet, when even What.cd is removing the torrent, claiming they "didn't like" what they saw when they examined the software, in terms of "the potential impact on the site and security of our users and staff," it does raise certain questions that are similar to those we originally raised.
So, once again, let's get some feedback from the folks reading here. Is this really a big deal? Or is it just your ordinary tools?

YouTube Gives UK Gov't Broad Powers To Censor Videos It Doesn't Like, Even If They're Legal [Update: Or Not]
from the i'm-sure-that-won't-be-abused-at-all... dept
A few years ago, then-Senator Joe Lieberman went on a bizarre anti-free speech crusade against YouTube, arguing that by allowing "terrorists" to post videos to YouTube, people were watching those videos and magically turning into terrorists. Because YouTube videos are just that powerful. Given the public shaming, Google actually caved in and started banning "terrorist" videos. Of course, how do you define a "terrorist" video? The fact is we just don't know, and that's evidenced by the fact that Lieberman's efforts resulted in videos from a Syrian watchdog organization being taken down as terrorism -- when they were really reporting on the atrocities of that country's government. If anything, you'd think this would be a clear warning about the perils of trying to censor "terrorist" videos. You're going to get it wrong, and often block important and newsworthy videos.
But... instead it appears that this effort is only ramping up, and unfortunately, YouTube seems to be helping. Over in the UK, where the government has been gradually censoring more and more of the internet over the past few years, Google has apparently agreed to give the UK government broad powers to "flag" videos they argue are bad, even if they're not illegal. Ostensibly, the goal is to block videos that "proliferate jihadi material."
The YouTube permissions that Google has given the Home Office in recent weeks include the power to flag swaths of content "at scale" instead of only picking out individual videos.And the UK government even admits that the videos it will be taken down are not illegal:
They are in part a response to a blitz from UK security authorities to persuade internet service providers, search engines and social media sites to censor more of their own content for extremist material even if it does not always break existing laws.
The UK's security and immigration minister, James Brokenshire, said that the British government has to do more to deal with some material "that may not be illegal, but certainly is unsavoury and may not be the sort of material that people would want to see or receive".Of course, that kind of statement shows the program is wide open to abuse. The sort of material people would not want to see or receive? Well, then they just don't watch it. Besides, who gets to decide what people would not want to see? Because there's lots of important content that a government might not want its citizens to see, but which are kind of important to a functioning democracy and open society.
While I'm sure the pressure from the government here was quite strong, it's upsetting to see Google cave in to these kinds of requests. Giving the UK government a giant "censor this video" button seems like exactly the wrong approach.

My LO is 5.5 months old and I have been back to work full time since a week before she turned 3 months. I pump 3 times at work (that is all I'm allowed) for 20 minutes each time. I was pumping about 12-15 ounces between the 3 pumps. Over the last week and a half I can barely get 6-8 ounces out between the 3 pumps! I don't know what is going on! I petrified that my supply is drying up. I nurse in the morning before work and when I get home from work. I then nurse usually once more before bedtime and once or twice during the night. I nurse exclusively on the weekends except for one bottle that daddy gives her each night.
We started her on babyfood last week. She is also supplemented with 8-10 ounces of formula because I can't pump enough since her growth spurt at 4 months-ish.
Any thoughts on what I can do to up my supply? I'm so sad that this could be happening! I'm not ready yet.
Thank you.

The growth in the iPhone App world is phenomenal and we at 148Apps plan on growing with it. But to do that, we need a few additional dedicated, awesome writers. And not just someone that can string a few words together, but people that are passionate about the iPhone OS, and its apps.
To help us make the next step and grow our site you need to be dedicated, engaged, and deeply app focused. You should know the iPhone and the app world better than you know the back of your own hands. We are looking for app reviewers, both for iPhone and iPad, and news writers.
The ideal app reviewer should be able to devour apps and games and be able to write about them quickly and authoritatively. You should have a good critical eye and the ability to express yourself well. You should be able to self edit your posts and deliver them ready to publish. And most importantly you should be able to do this while keeping your review fun and interesting like the common voice of the site.
We are looking for reviewers for all types of apps and games, but particularly interested in writers that can specialize in the education, photography, and music genres when needed. But all review writers should be able to jump back and forth amongst apps and games.
In addition to review writers, we are also looking to add one or two news reporters. The ideal news reporter would be someone who knows when an app is going to be released before anyone else does. Someone who knows the industry and the people in the industry. Wakes up in the middle of the night to see what new apps have gone live. And is comfortable talking to developers, marketing people, and even press agencies. You must be able to respond to and write about events and industry changes quickly. And most importantly you should be able to filter through information for what is a good story and what is just PR fluff.
If you think either of these descriptions fit your skills, please keep reading. In exchange for your amazing writing skills, we will provide a well read (well over 600,000 readers / month) outlet for your talents. You'll also have access to more apps than you'd ever be able to use, and of course there's the money. We do ask that you only apply if you can keep up a regular posting frequency. While this isn't a full time job, it's not a once-in-a-while hobby either.
If you think you have the writing skills, the drive, and the interest to help take 148Apps to the next level, send us the following:
Your name
Where you live (city, state, country)
What iPhone OS devices you use
Why you want to write for us
What position you are interested in

"Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams Should Be Arrested"
In March, CopBlock covered the story of Mark Fiorino and his encounter with the Philadelphia Police while he was open carrying. I was going to write about the outrageous decision by District Attorney R. Seth Williams to charge Fiorino with reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, but Radley Balko already wrote a great piece on the subject. Here it is, from The Agitator:
I wanted to comment a bit more on the Mark Fiorino story that guest blogger Dave Kruger posted earlier this week, because it's pretty goddamned outrageous.
Fiorino is the guy who was accosted by police officers in Philadelphia for openly carrying a gun in the city, despite the fact that he was perfectly within his legal rights to do so. He was in full compliance with the law. The problem is that the Philadelphia cops who confronted him were ignorant of the law. In the course of the confrontation, the cops repeatedly threatened to kill Fiorino, despite the fact that, again, he had broken no laws. They also illegally detained and arrested him. They then had to release him when they actually checked the law and discovered they were wrong.
When I've written about the arrests of citizens who record or photograph cops over the last couple years, I've repeatedly pointed out the double standard that exists when it comes to ignorance of the law. Citizens are expected to know every law. Break one, and you suffer the consequences. Ignorance is no defense, even when it comes to vague, obscure, or densely-written laws. But when law enforcement officials—the people we pay to enforce the criminal code—when they prove to be ignorant of the law, when they illegally detain, arrest, and jail someone based on a mistaken understanding of the law, they rarely if ever suffer any consequences.
The Fiorino case is a perfect example of that double standard. But the Fiorino case is even more pernicious. Because he'd had previous episodes with cops who were ignorant of local gun laws, Fiorino was carrying an audio recorder with him in Philadelphia. He recorded his confrontation with the Philly cops, and that audio exposed them for the ignorant, thuggish threats to the public that they are. (Note: I regularly caution against holding individual cops responsible for enforcing bad policy. I don't use words like "ignorant" and "thuggish" lightly. These cops were both.) The recording Fiorino made of his encounter was also perfectly legal.
So what are we to then make of Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams' decision to arrest and charge Fiorino after Fiorino posted the recordings on the Internet?
Here's what I make of it: It's criminal. Fiorino embarrassed Philadelphia cops, and Williams is punishing him for it. Williams and the police spokesman are claiming Fiorino deliberately provoked the cops. No, he didn't. He didn't wave the gun at anyone. He didn't invite police scrutiny. The cops confronted him upon seeing a weapon he was legally carrying in a perfectly legal manner. And they were wrong. Make no mistake. This is blatant intimidation.
But while their behavior in this story was repugnant, at least the cops had the plausible explanation of ignorance for the initial confrontation, then fear for their safety when an armed man they incorrectly thought was violating the law pushed back (though neither is an excuse, and neither should exclude them from discipline). What Williams has done since is much worse. It is premeditated. Much more than the cops, Williams should know the law. Moreover, even if he didn't know the law at the time, he has since had plenty of time to research it. By now, Williams does know the law. (If he doesn't, he is incompetent.) And he knows that even if Fiorino did deliberately provoke the cops to test their knowledge of Philadelphia's gun laws, that also is not a crime.
Yet he's charging Fiorino anyway, with "reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct"—the vague sorts of charges cops and prosecutors often fall back on when they can't show any actual crime. A spokesperson for Williams said Fiorino was ""belligerent and hostile" to police who were investigating a possible crime. Read the transcript of the audio in the linked article above and tell me who is "belligerent and hostile." Read it knowing who was breaking the law, who was following it, and while remaining cognizant of which party was threatening to put a bullet in the head of the other.
Note that nothing Fiorino did was on its own illegal. Willliams is attempting a striking, blatantly dishonest bit of legal chicanery. His theory goes like this: If you undertake a series of actions that are perfectly legal and well within your rights, but that cause government agents to react in irrational ways that jeopardize public safety, you are guilty of endangering the public.
This can't stand. It's a blatant abuse of office. Williams is using the state's awesome power to arrest and incarcerate to intimidate a man who exposed and embarrassed law enforcement officials who, because of their own ignorance, nearly killed him. Exposing that sort of government incompetence cannot be illegal. And it isn't illegal.
The message Williams is sending is this: Yes, you might technically have the right to carry a gun in Philadelphia. But if you exercise that right, you should be prepared for the possibility that police officers will illegally stop you, detain you, threaten to kill you, and arrest you. And I'm not going to do a damn thing about it. And yes, you may technically also have First Amendment rights in Philadelphia, but if you dare exercise them to let the larger public know what happened to you for exercising your right to carry a gun, I will try to put you in prison.
I'm not trying to be needlessly provocative, here. This is important. Prosecutors can't get away with this kind of behavior. Even if the charges are eventually dropped, that isn't enough. Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams should be arrested. And he should be charged with knowingly, criminally violating Mark Fiorino's civil rights.

Thoughts from a Hike on the Appalachian TrailSeptember 20th, 2011 – by Randy Keener
In March 2010, Hugo, a close friend from Goshen College, and I attempted a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. Roughly 5 months and 2,179 miles later, we finished that long walk in the woods. We were immensely tired, amazed, and pondering. There were a number of reasons for embarking on this journey from Georgia to Maine. For us, two important ones were the sense of adventure it held and the escape from the busyness of life and all of its demands. Neither of us expected the great hospitality, kindness, and care that we each experienced among the trail community. We found ourselves in awe of that slice of people who exist in a very counter-cultural way. We were honored to be a part of that community.
Even a year later, I am still reflecting on that time and in many ways I deeply miss it. I think about the wonderful people that we hiked with, the strong sense of community and shared experience of trying to get to Maine. And yet an irony remains in all this. Much of the Appalachian Trail community really wants little to do with God, much less the church. Many of them operated out of some form of secular humanism or vague spirituality. For them, it simply made sense to treat people and the earth with kindness, justice, and love, because those are basic human rights. Every person deserves to experience those things and should practice them. Hugo and I realized that we cared about many of the same things that the trail community did, but where these things were rooted was very different. When fellow hikers heard how our particular beliefs and practices, rooted in the Christian-Anabaptist story, emphasized the same things as their own stories, we no longer talked past each other.
So what did mission, in this context, look like for us? It looked like two friends choosing to hike the entire trail together, in the good times and the very hard times. Most friends that start together on the trail end up splitting after the first month or so for a number of different reasons. It meant that when we enjoyed the cool breeze, the picturesque mountain top views, or the delicacies of creation's wonders, we gave thanks to God, the creator of all good things. When we shared food mutually among the trail community- we remembered what Christ has done for us in the cross and resurrection, and that we are invited to participate in that same resurrection hope. It meant getting to know a fellow hiker, not much older than us, who had lost his wife just 6 months earlier to cancer. For him the trail was a place of healing as he escaped the busyness and materialism of society. And yet in our relationship and trust with him, we were able to share the hope and healing that we knew and had experienced. We shared that for us this was greater than any walking footpath could offer. Mission happened in relationships, and in conversations. It happened in stereotypes being shattered, and mutual trust and care being nurtured. It happened when our stories connected with theirs, and in those Spirit engagements, we saw something of a larger reality.
Sometimes I think I see glimpses of the Kingdom of God when I reflect on that small slice of culture called the trail community. And sometimes I become frustrated with the church because I wonder if I see the Kingdom more on the trail than I do in mainstream Christianity. I am thankful to the trail community for a lot of things. No doubt, it has changed my life and the way I think about certain people groups. I may always live in the uneasy tension of how a secular community could embody the Kingdom more faithfully than much of the church has. Maybe it is a reminder that the Kingdom of God shows up in places that we didn't think to look. Yet I am also reminded that as followers of Jesus we live with a greater hope and calling than many on the trail have ever known. The church does not live in ways that are sustainable, righteous, loving and justice minded simply because it makes sense, or is the right thing to do. Rather, the church, rooted in a larger story, is to embody these things because they are our very act of worship to God and is our witness to the power of the resurrection in the world. For this reminder, I thank the trail community.

Author Notes: I love minty drinks when the weather starts to warm up. Add in some zippy citrus and bubbles, and I couldn't be more refreshed. Mint simple syrup can keep for a while in the fridge. It's a also great with lemon juice. - vvvanessa —vvvanessa
Food52 Review: Tart and refreshing, this limeade is a perfect drink for getting into the spirit of spring. The mint syrup is intensely flavored, so you don't need much, and vvvanessa applies a particularly light touch with this one sweet element -- which we found made for an invigorating (and highly quaffable) drink. If you've got a sweet tooth, just add a little more of the mint syrup. Simple and lovely in its pure form, this recipe would make a great jumping off point for all sorts of riffs. If you're so inclined, try adding a splash of vodka, or even light rum. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: about 2 quarts
cup sugar
cup water
cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, washed with stems removed
cup freshly squeezed lime juice
club soda
- Make mint simple syrup by combining sugar, water, and mint in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil then immdiately allowing it to simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Strain the leaves.
- To assemble the limeade, add about 1 ounce each of the simple syrup and lime juice in a tall glass filled with ice. Top with about 6 ounces of club soda. Stir. Garnish with fresh mint or a lime wedge.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Wells Fargo (WFC) is cutting 150 workers in the Charlotte, N.C., region as the bank continues to adjust to changing demand levels within its mortgage segment.
The layoffs are on top of 284 Charlotte-area employees the company said it was laying off last month as a result of declining refinancing business.
Wells Fargo spokeswoman Christine Shaw said the 150 workers were among 1,865 company employees across the country who were given 60-day notices Wednesday. In Raleigh, 48 workers received notices Wednesday, she said.Sponsor Content

Coffee Guide
Israelis love coffee! Coffee is one of the world's most popular beverages. From waking you up in the morning to bringing friends together coffee is more than just a beverage. Coffee can invoke memories, anticipation and pleasure. Whether you prefer you coffee black, with cream or sugar, coffee is a part of our everyday lives, our culture and our society.
What is Coffee?
Coffee wakes you up in the morning, but what is coffee? Coffee is a beverage brewed from roasted coffee beans. Coffee beans come from the berry of the coffee plant. After going through a long and labour intensive process of cultivating, fermenting and drying processes, the beans are ready to be roasted, ground and brewed for your enjoyment.
Types of Coffee
traditional drip coffee, espresso, Turkish coffee, instant coffee and flavored coffees. Drip coffee is made by dripping boiling water over ground coffee, which is ground coarsely. The water filters through the coffee and falls into a pot. The difference between espresso and traditional drip coffee is the fineness of the grind and the brewing time. Espresso is finely ground espresso coffee that is tightly packed and has boiling water forced through it. The brewing time of drip coffee is much longer than that of espresso and contrary to popular belief 1 cup of drip coffee contains more caffeine that a single shot of espresso.
Instant coffee is made from brewed coffee beans. The coffee is brewed and freeze dried creating a soluble coffee or coffee powder that can be rehydrated quickly for an instant cup of coffee.
Turkish coffee is a style of serving coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are boiled in a pot and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. Turkish coffee is unfiltered unlike other types of coffee creating a stronger coffee.
Flavored coffee is simply a coffee that has been enhanced with additional flavours, typically flavours are added during the roasting process but flavouring can also be added to the coffee grounds as well, common coffee flavours include hazelnut and cardamom.
Coffee Culture in Israel
Coffee culture in Israel is huge and continues to grow rapidly. In cities like Tel Aviv you can barely go a block without seeing a coffee bar or café. Regardless of religious or political views or affiliations, the love of coffee unites all Israelis. Israel's coffee culture goes back longer then the country itself.
Though in recent years cappuccinos and other espresso based coffee drinks have gained in popularity Israelis love Turkish coffee. Turkish style coffee, often called Botz, is as popular as ever, as is often enjoyed with ground cardamom. One of Israel's most popular brands of coffee is Elite, Elite coffee can be found in almost every home and restaurant in Israel.

Knightriders (UK - BD RB)
Sir Marcus Doidge armours up and jousts with King Ed Harris on a bike...
This 1981 George A. Romero feature is a different beast to what the renowned horror filmaker has become known for. Knightriders is basically a drama following around a travelling group of King Arthur fanatics as they re-enact the jousts of legend with a modern motorcycle riding twist or two. Led by Billy (Ed Harris) or 'King William' as he's called in costume, the group struggle with their finances, crooked cops and the importance of what it is they are doing.
The knowingly abstract opening introduction features a series of a half naked and kingly Ed Harris shots, a crown, his queen, some knights armour and some mystical sword play. All very noble and King Arthur like but when the opening scene ends with the king and queen in full costume mounting their trusty... motorbike, Knightriders truly begins.
Despite the modern day setting and the reveal that this group of guys and gals are all essentially cosplayers for a living, Knightriders still plays it old school. The king. The magician Merlin, the court and the bad guys are all present. In fact the drama here could quite easily sit within a legitimate King Arthur tale but instead of warring kingdoms, it's more a case of King William and his knights versus the cops and the corrupt world around them.
What sells this is the performances. Ed Harris is actually quite brilliant in the movie and as is usually the case with Harris his solid and believable performance somehow grounds the rest of this quite ridiculous set up in some sort of reality with some genuine dramatic weight.
With solid performances all round and a great set of characters, Knightriders is played completely straight and never makes a clear distinction between what's going on and what is implied is going on. Sure this is cosplay but the characters are living their parts to the fullest. Ed Harris's Billy is every bit the king. His confidante Merlin is every bit the wise wizard and even though the knights drop modern dialogue on us there's always a sense that this is being played as a straight up knight's tale as opposed to anything modern, despite the modern setting with a watching audience (which features a cameo by Stephen King no less).
This tale of extreme cosplay remains a largely odd affair with a dramatic backbone. The combination of classic knights jousting while kings oversee proceedings is one thing but when it's on motorbikes and it's unclear just how into it the players are at times it's all pretty nuts. These things usually come with a post apocalyptic backdrop or something but this one is more like hanging out with a pretty delusional bunch of guys who are taking their cosplaying a little too seriously at times. Against the odds, this all works but when you throw in the runtime factor (a whopping two and a half hours) it's not hard to see how this movie slipped into the realms of obscurity rather than became a film with a ton of followers.
The opening credits are soft and fairly unimpressive but once they're done the image pops in wonderfully sharp and naturally lit ways. The presentation here is pretty much free from defects, offering natural film-like grain, consistently strong colours and plenty of detail (with fantastically sharp edges). Honestly it's easy to give this one a whole lot of praise. The overall look here is that of a film much more modern than its 1981 release. Few modern movies can muster up this good an image without boosting colours and 'orange and tealing' their way to high-definition good looks. Knightriders looks great without being over stylised and is impressive enough to leave any budget restrictions it may have had behind.
I seem to have been watching and reviewing a whole lot of 'cult classics' of late but this one is by far the best looking title in the 2013 releases so far and rivals some of the best restorations out there, especially when you add in the relatively unknown status of this Romero title.
The stereo track is of course very frontal and has limited range but still feels well spaced out and offers up a few more layers to its audio presentation than expected. Dialogue sits strongly up front with score and sound effects underpinning it without over powering it. Sure there's some hollower instances where dialogue can feel a little thin but there's usually enough other things going on to keep this track at a pretty high standard and it never feels dated.
There's some nice rumble to the bikes, some solid clangs in the jousting and Ed Harris shouting is really the only thing that leads to any sort of distortion in the higher ranges but all in all this is a solid audio affair across the board.
The commentary with George Romero, John Amplas, Tom Savini and Chritine Romero is a light and fun combination of friends talking up the film and their time spent together on it. It's full of warmth and tales of good times and a very easy listen along with the film.
The big surprise here is that Ed Harris rocks up for an interview (13:08 HD). He chats about the film and his path to the role. It's great to see that the highly regarded actor took some time out to talk about such a small film from early in his career. He talks about how tight the script was and how his love of the King Arthur legend drew him to the project and it's all done with a sense of affection as opposed to any level of embarrassment.
The Tom Savini interview (12:03 HD) is another great extra with the much loved actor talking up his role as Morgan and his knowledge of the film's inception and evolution.
The Patricia Tallman interview (17:43 HD) talks more of the film but from a point of view of a young actress and how much she learnt and enjoyed the experience. Lastly there's a Trailer some TV Spots and of course the DVD copy.
I don't know whether it was a genuinely good film or the late Saturday night watch I had was the perfect time to view it but outside of the long runtime, Knightriders balances crazy, dramatic and weird with all the right sensibilities. Romero really holds this great cast together expertly and never lets it run away from him and while it's never going to be a story with mass appeal there's a whole lot to enjoy here. The Blu-ray is almost shockingly great to look at. For a 1981 largely unknown film it looks great enough to knock your socks off and it even rivals more high end classic restorations really. Audio is solid but of course limited and the extras were a great watch. I'm not sure who I would recommend this to but existing fans should really get a kick out of this one.

Just converted over to XFCE after much aggravation from the Land o' Gnomes.
On a vanilla install of Fedora 17 and a fresh install of xfce from yum (which did the best it could to find the apps ) perhaps half the menu items from Gnome made it successfully onto the Application Menu. Most troubling is the Settings -> Main Menu Editor, which runs nothing.
What follows is not a request for hand-holding: but I've already been down both the alacarte and lxmed routes. Neither worked for me coming out of the yum repositories.
In short. though I'm fairly new to XFCE, it seems to need its own menu editor. I'd be perfectly willing to write a proper editor. -- hence my arrival here at xfce.org.
Alacarte doesn't work: the following traceback has been a problem for some time.
# alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 33, in main
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 64, in run
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 203, in loadMenus
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 354, in on_menu_tree_cursor_changed
self.loadItems(self.menu_store[menu_path][2], menu_path)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 217, in loadItems
for item, show in self.editor.getItems(menu):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 145, in getItems
item = item_iter.get_separator()
AttributeError: 'TreeIter' object has no attribute 'get_separator'
I'm in no mood to mess with alacarte with all its gnome dependences. Either it works out of yum or it's broken, in my opinion: gnome-menus is up to date on my system and alacarte still fails.
lxmed is beyond useless: It can't find the appropriate menu structures: what it does find doesn't correspond to what XFCE installed. Adding menu items via lxmed produces no changes: Lord knows what it's doing in there but it's all wrong. I'll see if I can't get in contact with Marko Čičak but the whole app is over Java Swing and can't even add a category. The lxmed documentation is equally worthless.
Where would I start with this XFCE menu project, or more importantly, who would I turn to were I inclined to write such an application? I'm finding bits and pieces of menus all over the place, in $HOME/.config/xfce4 and /usr/share/xf*
I apologise if this sounds a bit rant-y. But I'm quite serious about writing a better editor... to that end, I'm finally getting off my dead ass and offering to write one.
There is a thread on the Fedora forum that includes a section on manually editing the menu. It could be a good starting point. It has a good overview of where the menu files are. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=265583
There was a Xfce menu editor many versions ago but it was updated. It is something that is needed.

The absence of cameras in 1845 and the lack of shocking artifacts as are found in Holocaust museums could have hindered Quinnipiac University's chances of creating a successful Irish potato famine museum.
However, a successful exhibit is what was accomplished according to a New York Times rave review by Sylviane Gold. "In the galleries of Ireland's Great Hunger Museum we come face to face with what really happened," she writes
Gold looked closely into the power of the museum's exhibits, many dating from that long ago period so we are looking at it several steps removed.
"This has the surprising effect of simultaneously softening and sharpening the gruesome facts," she wrote referring to the multicultural artwork.

The Times noted that the art isn't difficult to merely look at like a picture from a concentration camp but it's also difficult to process. "Looking deeper into the art allows one to truly feel the emotion like tension in a small room."
Lilian Lucy Davidson's "Burying the child" is described as, "the central figure leaning into his shovel almost as he were still digging potatoes; but it is a straightforward picture of loss." Davidson, Gold writes, captures the anger, sorrow and reality of the famine with a simple painting.
The Times notes that assigning blame for the famine is impossible but there are many compelling arguments that put major blame on the British Government. The Great Hunger Museum houses artwork that directly blames the British Government.
The Times describes Michael Farrell's "Black '47"as, "a courtroom in which five Irish skeletons emerge from a coffin to accuse Britain, in the reviled person of Charles E. Trevelyan, who ran the government's disastrously inadequate efforts."
The museum, the Times notes, is able to depict the reality of the famine and debate that surrounds it.
The Irish potato famine cannot be directly seen but the gravity of the famine sure can be felt.
Great Hunger Museum is located at 3011 Whitney Avenue ,Hamden Connecticut. www.ighm.org.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Moving up to sixth in the most recent national rankings, the highest ever for MIT, the Engineers women's lightweight crew squad took on No. 1 ranked Harvard-Radcliffe in the battle for the Muri Cup. Harvard took the Cup in the Varsity 8 race and also won 2V event, with the Engineers picking up a win in the Novice 4 competition.
On day with flat water and plenty of sunshine, the MIT Varsity 8 team turned in an excellent effort, coming home with a time of 6:51.9, the fastest ever for the program on the Charles. Harvard-Radcliffe took the race, however, beating MIT to the line by a little more than 12 seconds. With the win the Crimson claimed the Muri Cup, which honors MIT alumna and Harvard assistant lightweight coach Linda Muri for her achievements as both an athlete and coach.
MIT picked up its win in the Novice 4 race in which the Engineers stayed with the Harvard-Radcliffe crew until reaching the MIT Boathouse where the Engineers moved through the Crimson crew and continued to pull away, winning by nearly 25 seconds.
In the second Varsity 8 race MIT turned in a strong and aggressive effort, but finished third to a pair of boats from Harvard-Radcliffe, crossing the line under 10 seconds behind the Crimson 3V boat.
It was the last home race of the season for MIT, with seniors Lauren Ayers (Portland, Maine), Kathleen Inman (Indianapolis, Ind.), Chandler Burfield (Naples, Fla.), and Anne Warren (Ann Arbor, Mich.) of the Varsity 8 team all competing for the final time on the Charles. Both schools raced in "Row for Boston" T-shirts, designed by Harvard-Radcliffe rower Corinne Wee, to benefit Boston Children's Hospital Marathon Fund.
MIT compete next at the Dad Vail Regatta on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia on May 10-11.
Muri Cup Results
Varsity 8
Harvard-Radcliffe - 6:39.4

Has there been a thread about the new Depeche Mode album yet?
Recently been getting into Depeche Mode - not their earlier more well-known stuff, but everything from Ultra onwards.
Given the success of Kasabian, I'm surprised there hasn't been a critical re-appraisal of Ultra. Granted, Depeche Mode don't have a dancing monkey for a frontman, but you can guarantee that Kasabian would give their left bollock to write a tune like this:
Anyhow, let's get to the cut-and-thrust of things. Plenty of people on these boards got a hard-on for Darkstar. Let's face it, Darkstar at their best can't even hold a candle to Dave Gahan at his worst.
Glad we all agree.
Just given it a first listen
Struggle to see me giving it a second one.
Wow, Dave was really going for a Brian Molko thing back then wasn't he?
I haven't heard any of the new stuff yet but I'll be seeing them for the fourth time this year. Read an interview with Martin saying that to him the new stuff was somewhere between songs of faith and devotion and violator. Can't help but think that's wishful thinking but it'd be great.
It's very wishful thinking
It just sounds like SOTU part 2 to me though as I said I've only listened to it once. Mostly plodding mid-tempo dirges with a couple of notable exceptions (Soft Touch/Raw Nerve is great).

US President Barack Obama has warned there is work still to be done as Northern Ireland celebrates the 15th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement.
Due to visit Ulster for the G8 conference this summer, President Obama made the remarks in a statement issued via the White House.
The statement issued to worldwide media said: "As Easter approaches, we mark the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
"The people of Northern Ireland and their leaders have traveled a great distance over the past fifteen years. Step by step, they have traded bullets for ballots, destruction and division for dialogue and institutions, and pointed the way toward a shared future for all.
"There is urgent work still to be done – and there will be more tests to come. There are still those few who prefer to look backward rather than forward – who prefer to inspire hate rather than hope.
"The many who have brought Northern Ireland this far must keep rejecting their call. From building cross-community trust to bringing opportunity to hard-to-reach communities in Belfast and beyond, every citizen and every political party needs to work together in service of true and lasting peace and prosperity.
"And at every step of the way, the United States will be there as a friend and partner. That is the message I will carry with me when I visit Northern Ireland and attend the G-8 Summit in June."
President Obama also declared that Northern Ireland's people can act as role models to the rest of the world.
He added: "On behalf of the American people, I salute the people and leaders of Northern Ireland and the model they have given to others struggling toward peace and reconciliation around the world.
"I pledge our continued support for their efforts to build a strong society, a vibrant economy, and an enduring peace."
A separate statement from US secretary of state John Kerry also warned the progress made by the Good Friday agreement was unfinished.
In his statement, Kerry said: "The progress made in Northern Ireland is significant and inspiring but the promise foreseen in the agreement is incomplete.
"The 15th anniversary of the agreement should serve as a call to action to consolidate the gains of the last 15 years.
"This is an appropriate moment for all parties to rededicate themselves to achieving a shared future and to healing the divisions of the past.
"A spirit of cooperation and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law are essential to achieving these goals and a necessary condition for unlocking the full economic potential of Northern Ireland."
The Good Friday Agreement was signed on April 10th 1998. It established the Northern Ireland Assembly and provided the political framework to advance the Northern Irish peace process.
President Obama recently discussed the peace process with Irish PM Enda Kenny and Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness during the official St Patrick's Day celebrations in Washington.

Study: Doctors Made More Note-Taking Errors With EHRs Than Paper
Anne Zieger is veteran healthcare consultant and analyst with 20 years of industry experience. Zieger formerly served as editor-in-chief of FierceHealthcare.com and her commentaries have appeared in dozens of international business publications, including Forbes, Business Week and Information Week. She has also contributed content to hundreds of healthcare and health IT organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. Contact her at @ziegerhealth on Twitter or visit her site at Zieger Healthcare.
A new study appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association has concluded that a sample group of physicians made more data entry errors with a new EHR than in comparable paper records, according to a HealthcareITNews item.
Researchers studied progress notes created at a Michigan hospital, Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak, Michigan, between August 2011 and July 2013. They looked at 500 notes created during that period, some of which were prepared before the EHR implementation in 2012 and some after. The charts contained five specific diagnoses which always include physical findings, including permanent atrial fibrillation, aortic stenosis, intubation, lower limb amputation and cerebrovascular accident with hemiparesis.
Upon analysis, they found that rates of inaccurate documentation were 24.4% with the EHR, versus 4.4% with paper records. Residents had fewer inaccuracies (5.3% vs. 17.3%) and omissions (16.8% vs. 33.9%) than attending physicians.
While this is no reason to throw the EHR baby out with the bathwater – after all, the physicians in question were learning a system for the first time – it's still a troubling set of statistics. They are even more troubling given that EHR documentation errors can sometimes create patient safety problems of their own, especially in fast-moving care settings like the emergency department.
"There are new categories of patient safety errors" taking place in EDs that didn't exist before EHR use became commonplace, according to Raj Ratwani, scientific director for MedStar Health's National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare in Washington, D.C., who spoke with Kaiser Health News. For example, EHRs that only allow doctors to edit records for one patient at a time can make it harder to track ED patients, according to MedStar physician Zach Hettinger.
Without a doubt, the healthcare industry can't afford to have its IT infrastructure creating new categories of safety errors or even making mistake-ridden documentation more common. Not only does this defeat the key goals for putting EHRs in place (improving care quality and efficiency), it could lead to a net increase in safety problems.
But as peanut-gallery observers like myself have been shouting for ages, the answer to the problem is fairly straightforward. EHR user interaction design has to be improved dramatically, and soon. This isn't exactly a secret, but it seems that the issue is still treated largely as an academic discussion rather than one of immediate practical importance for providers.
I'm not sure why we haven't made more progress on the user experience front in EHR design – or rather, which of the reasons can actually be addressed in our lifetime – but something's gotta give.

iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasts
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Podcasts, Software,
Earlier at the D: All Things Digital Conference, Steve Jobs made it known that the next version of iTunes will include built-in support for podcasts. To make that a bit clearer - iTunes 4.9 will have an option that will allow you to plug in the RSS feed URL of your favorite podcasts, which it will then use to fetch them out and download them directly to your library. No need for any third party software to do this for you any longer. What's more, iTunes will provide a directory of podcasts in which producers can submit their work. Finally, Steve is even considering developing a model where content producers could sell their podcasts through iTunes. This is similar to what Google wants to do with video, but on the audio front. We can expect to see this new version of iTunes within the next 60 days.

Michael Jackson Sells Neverland Ranch?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Michael Jackson may have sold his Neverland Ranch to a silent buyer for about $35 million. I remember as a child wshing I could visit the Ranch - after all, it had its own zoo, amusement park, trolley, etc. Looking back, I think it's safe to say that it is good that I was never able to make the trip. This is one example of technology gone bad.

Music for a Synthetic Age
Posted by Kristin Wenzel Categories: Music,
I love music. I may be a computer geek, but I'm also an artist and an occasional DJ, so there's always something on my iPod when I'm writing, coding, or surfing the Internet. A number of bands I love are very "tech-oriented" synthpop or EBM (short for "electronic body music," a sort of hybrid between industrial and dance) — in other words, music to program to. The tech-fetishist, often geek-friendly lyrics of bands like Psykosonik or Covenant and the synthesized, catchy beats produced by Melotron and Neuroticfish provide an excellent beat for those who need upbeat inspiration for their cyber-pursuits, be it coding or gaming, hacking or network security.
However, should you require something a bit more mellow, My Bloody Valentine is my new favorite. Their music is fluid, ambient, and laid back — but it's got enough bite to it to be interesting. It's very sexy, in a sort of synthesized way. If you've got a hot date with the cute girl from your web design class (or a hot guy you met at last weekend's LAN party), and want something to play while you discuss XHTML 1.0 Strict Validation over dinner, this is your band. Another great pick is Massive Attack, which is much more ambient-techno than MBV but still makes for great background music for dinner, art, conversation, or romance. Throw on either of these bands for instant ambiance that still appeal to the part of you that wants something "tech-y" to listen to, without sacrificing the atmosphere.

Microsoft Xbox 360 vs Sony PS3
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Xbox 360,
The million dollar question remains truly unanswered, which next generation console is the best? Well the Microsoft Xbox team aims to try to answer this question by comparing all the numbers that are being fed to us by both PR departments in a four part series. Still wondering which console they say is the best. Can you blame them for stating that their console is the best? They clearly do make very good points and do give the PS3 proper credit; however to say that one console is better than another at this point is a mighty bold claim. What we need to see are in game stats and to experience both consoles ourselves to really make that final conclusion. One thing for sure is that we will all find out soon enough if the next Xbox lives up to expectations.

Games Which Seriously Deserve Sequels
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Retro,
You ever wonder why some game that you can't stand gets about a dozen sequels, yet the game that you really want more of never gets made? It is a shame. Here is a look at a few games that should get sequels, but aren't.
Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle
Lucas Games created some of the greatest 2D visual adventures ever made. The original Maniac Mansion game created a whole scripting engine and game concept. PC graphical adventures were a highly influential game series in the early 80s and it presented a huge amount of options to the game player. Manic Mansion was a well made spoof of the graphical adventure and the 8-bit Nintendo port was the only game that you could microwave a hamster until Nintendo found out about it. If you made a port of Maniac Mansion to the Game Boy Advance it would rule.

E3 2005: Gears of War Screenshots
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: First Person Shooters, Xbox 360,
While Andru and I were at E3 we saw a trailer for an awesome game called Gears of War for Xbox 360. Unfortunately, out of all the press kits and access that we had there were no trailers for us to give you all. We were able to score some screenshots for you though. I personally think that this game will be the "Halo" of Xbox 360. The gameplay looks excellent and the graphics are amazing. We don't have any storyline details yet, but we'll pass them along when we get them.
Editor's Note: I actually did get a bit of the background on the game during the Microsoft press briefing. Gears of War can best be described as a hybrid third-person shooter and survival horror game. There are locusts which do not like to be in the light. If you can stay near light, you have a better chance of surviving. The trailer shown at Microsoft's conference was truly amazing. These screenshots are in game.

E3 2005: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi Impressions
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: PlayStation 2,
Atari has yet another Dragon Ball Z game called Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. This game is pretty amazing. In the previous Budokai games, you were limited to a certain area, but in Budokai Tenkaichi it's a free for all. I played this game for 15 minutes and I was blown away. The levels are completely interactive and destructible, more than 4 different gameplay modes, over 60 playable characters, controllable flight ability, and more. This game really grasps the DBZ world and puts it on your console.

Major Nelson Speaks on Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility
Posted by Troy Categories: Video Games,
First things first, Major Nelson works at Microsoft under the title of "Xbox Live Director of Programming." He has had a blog for many years and his credentials seem to be unquestionable. That said, Nelson believes the Xbox 360 team is trying to insure full backwards compatibility with all Xbox games. Currently the goal is to have the top games playable at launch, and all games playable thereafter. A timetable has not been set, but he believes the rumors about "recompiling" games is plainly false.

FERC accepts transmission planning compliance filings from Western providers
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today conditionally accepted compliance filings on the transmission planning process associated with Order No. 890 from transmission providers in the Western United States. To date, FERC has acted on similar compliance filings from entities in the Northeast, the Midwest, California and Florida.
Order No. 890, issued in February 2007, reformed the pro forma open access transmission tariff, or OATT, to clarify and expand the obligations of transmission providers to ensure that transmission service is provided on a non-discriminatory basis. The detailed information provided in the proposals accepted today brings more specificity as to how customers and other stakeholders should be treated in the transmission planning processes of transmission providers and sub-regional and regional planning entities in the West.
"Regional transmission planning is vital to competitive wholesale electric markets. FERC recognizes regional differences in the power grid and has acted appropriately to reflect this," FERC Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher said. "Today's action will help strengthen open access transmission for the benefit of the market and consumers."
Order No. 890 directed transmission providers to develop a transmission planning process that satisfies nine principles and makes the process a new Attachment to the providers' OATTs. The nine planning principles are: (1) coordination; (2) openness; (3) transparency; (4) information exchange; (5) comparability; (6) dispute resolution; (7) regional participation; (8) economic planning studies; and (9) cost allocation for new projects. FERC also directed transmission providers to address the recovery of planning-related costs.
Today's actions are addressed in the following four orders.
- El Paso Electric Company, Public Service Company of New Mexico, Arizona Public Service Company, Tucson Electric Power Company and UNS Electric, Inc., and Nevada Power Company and Sierra Pacific Power Company (OA08-30-000, OA08-34-000, OA08-47-000, OA08-48-000, OA08-33-000, and OA08-38-000). FERC accepted the various Desert Southwest Transmission Providers' compliance filings, each of which incorporates the subregional planning processes of the Southwest Area Transmission Planning Group and WestConnect, along with the regional and economic planning processes of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council's (WECC) Transmission Expansion Policy and Planning Committee (TEPPC), with modifications to provisions associated with regional participation, economic planning studies and cost allocation.
- Xcel Energy Services, Inc.-Public Service Company of Colorado (OA08-35-000). FERC accepted the transmission planning compliance filing of PS Colorado, which incorporates the subregional planning processes of Colorado Coordinated Planning Group and WestConnect, along with the regional and economic planning processes of WECC's TEPPC, subject to further modifications to provisions associated with regional participation and cost allocation. In an earlier order, FERC accepted the compliance filing of Xcel's operating company, Southwestern Public Service Company, which operates in the Southwest Power Pool.
- Idaho Power Company, Desert Generation & Transmission Co-operative, Inc., NorthWestern Corporation, PacifiCorp, Black Hills Power, Inc., and Portland General Electric Company (OA08-23-000, OA08-55-000, OA08-55-001, OA08-55-002, OA08-28-000, OA08-54-000, OA08-54-001, OA08-54-002, OA08-31-000, OA08-31-001, OA08-56-000, OA08-56-001, OA08-56-002, OA08-40-000, OA08-57-000, OA08-57-001, OA08-57-002, OA08-43-000, OA08-99-000, OA08-99-001, and OA08-118-000). FERC accepted the joint filing by the transmission providers of the agreements establishing a subregional planning process to be conducted by the Northern Tier Transmission Group (NTTG), subject to further revision of the dispute resolution process. The order also accepts the individual transmission planning compliance filings for the transmission providers, each of which incorporates the NTTG subregional planning process and the regional and economic planning processes of WECC's TEPPC, subject to modification to the regional participation and cost allocation provisions.
- United States Department of Energy-Bonneville Power Administration; Avista Corporation; Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (NJ08-5-000, OA08-25-000 and OA08-26-000). FERC accepted transmission planning compliance filings by Avista and Puget Sound subject to modifications to the regional participation and cost allocation provisions. The order also grants Bonneville's petition for declaratory order for its Order No. 890 transmission planning compliance filing. Each of the entities subject to this order utilizes the ColumbiaGrid subregional planning process and the regional and economic planning processes of WECC's TEPPC.

I won't pretend to give an authoritative answer to this question. All I hope to do with this article is posit a few possibilities and open the topic for discussion. First I think we should try to clarify the question by defining user-friendliness. ;Often, user-friendliness is conflated with beginner-friendliness, and this is a grave error. Just because the use of an object isn't immediately obvious to a new user doesn't mean that it's not well-designed or even that it's not easy-to-use. I have a nail pulling tool that's unquestionably the most effective nail-puller you can buy. But whenever I hand it to someone, even an experienced carpenter, who's never used one, they give me a blank look, and it usually takes five minutes or so to figure out how it works. They make nail pullers that are much easier to understand, but they don't work as well. They take longer and damage the wood more. But the thing about the slide-action pullers that I like is that even though they take a few minutes to learn, once you know the trick, they save you several minutes with each nail. Over a lifetime, a tool like this might save a professional carpenter several entire workdays. You could say the same for computer users.
Point and click interfaces are much easier for computer neophytes to understand. You can click and hunt through the menus to figure out what to do, and once you have the basic concept of moving the mouse and navigating menus and buttons figured out, you can muddle through most tasks. Most importantly, you don't have to memorize any arcane commands. But for all-day computer users, mousing your way through menus wastes a lot of time and makes things hard that can be easy. Learning a few keyboard shortcuts for the things you do every day (opening windows, saving, etc) and learning to use the command line, or command line-like tools (Such as Quicksilver or Colibri) will give you a major productivity boost. In short, often the attribute that makes a tool easy to learn actually makes that tool less useful to an expert.
In some cases, "easy-to-use" tools aren't better even for newbies. Training wheels for bicycles don't really help kids learn to ride a bike properly, and in fact can easily delay learning. A CLI can be superior for neophytes in some cases because it can be much easier to do complex procedures by copying and pasting strings of command line code from a tutorial or forum posting than following a circuitous walk-through of the same procedure (with screenshots) using a GUI method.
Conventional wisdom would dictate that the menu-driven GUI of a Mac or Windows machine would be the major determinant of its user-friendliness, but I disagree. I actually think that the time-worn "just works" measuring stick is a much bigger factor. Even if you have to learn a few conventions or [gasp] memorize some basic commands, if your computer operates in a reliable and consistent manner, it's easy-to-use. I would hasten to add that installing new hardware or software and configuring your preferences should also be as simple as possible and should not break the computer in the process. The times that using a computer becomes the most challenging for any user is when something goes wrong, so the easiest to use computer is most certainly the one that never fails for any reason. But since we don't live in fantasyland, a computer should minimize opportunities for either spontaneous or user-caused failure, and should fail in a way that minimizes collateral damage and guides the user through the proper steps to bringing the machine back up to proper operation.
This is where we can start to look at the relative user-friendliness of Mac, Windows, and Linux. Traditionally, Macs have been seen as the most user-friendly, and have adhered to the "just works" philosophy. In some cases over the history of the Mac, this has been taken to the extreme, where simplicity has actually stood in the way of power users' productivity. But "just works" comes at a price, and that is the vertical integration of the Mac marketplace and the dearth of hardware options. In its current incarnation, the Mac OS is reliable, fails gracefully when it fails, makes installing hardware and software easy, and makes configuring features such as WiFi and Bluetooth quick and easy. This is user experience exists in large part because of the extreme amount of priority that Apple puts on user-friendliness and the tight control over the hardware ecosystem that Apple maintains. But it's not all Apple. Ironically, one of the most important aspects of Mac OS X's user-friendliness, its reliability, comes from its BSD-based underpinnings. The Pre-OS X versions of Mac OS, particularly those after version 7.6, in the late nineties, were not very speedy or reliable, despite being easy to use in other ways. It was only harnessing some of the inherent advantages of the open source development model that brought Apple's OS to where it needed to be.
Windows is generally thought to be pretty user-friendly, but even a quick survey of the average computer user's experience with Windows will show you that most people are not at all comfortable with it, especially once something goes wrong. Using Windows for everyday tasks is quite easy, and seems to get better with each version. In fact, I'd say that in some ways Windows has easily equaled or surpassed Mac OS X in some ways when it comes to basic usability like application launching and file management. Installing software and hardware are not as elegant as the Mac, but don't pose a problem in most cases. And a clean Windows install on high-quality hardware will run extremely reliably compared to the standards of the nineties. The problems arise when poor quality software or hardware are added to the mix, because troubleshooting stability or performance problems in Windows can be very difficult. Also, doing advanced configuration, such as networking, can really be a brain-breaker, even for experienced users.

Maybe "New Girl" could have been made without Zooey Deschanel, but it's hard to imagine.
Virtually no other current performer so perfectly embodies the kooky, endearing quality required by the Fox sitcom that debuts Tuesday, Sept. 20.
"I would like to think it was written for me, but I don't think it was," says the "(500) Days of Summer" actress who's helping to give Fox a family acting dynasty: Sister Emily is starting her seventh season on the mystery series "Bones."
In "New Girl," Deschanel is Jess, who becomes the roommate of three buddies (Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris) after she breaks up with her...
