-0.694396 | 9.433116 | 15 | Microsoft Internet Explorer Scriptlet Rendering Vulnerability
By design, the Scriptlet Component of Microsoft Internet
Explorer (the ActiveX control that invokes scriplets) is only
supposed to render HTML files. However, it will render any file
type. Due to this design error, a malicious website operator
may gain read access to known files on a remote system by
injecting valid HTML code into a file that would be run at the
privilege level of the Local Computer Zone. This file may
contain a script that could forward the contents of known files
to the website operator. The files that can be read are limited
to what can be open in a browser window (eg. txt, .htm or .js
files, not .exe files). Update (December 1, 2000): A new
variant of this vulnerability was discovered. Microsoft has
released a new patch to address all known variants of this

what they are getting into, embark on a quest for quick money
via a tour of Serbian Krajina. Before they know it, they are
caught up in the vicious Bosnian civil war. During their journey
they meet Serbian, Muslim and Croatian fighters, and are faced

I've setup auditing in OAM, but I'm finding that I can only
choose from 3 audit filter presets rather than actually
selecting which events I'm interested in auditing. At this
point, I'm interested in auditing user login/logout events. The
only way I get that is by selecting the "All" preset, at which
point I get flooded by a fire hose of other unwanted events. The
volume is so high (even in my dev environment) that there is no
way I could implement this in prod. This renders the oam audit
functionality useless for me (as it seems to be implemented
now). Is there really no way to get granular control over
what OAM events are auditted? This seems well implemented
in em, where I can pick events, but the documentation says (and
I have confirmed) that OAM ignores this em audit configuration

Fees not meant to fix debt, UH students tell lawmakers By Chris
Mikesell University of Hawaii students who pay hundreds of
dollars a semester in student fees say that money should not be
used to help balance the state budget. A bill introduced by
Sen. Malama Solomon (D, Hilo-Honokaa) would take the money in
138 state special funds, including money from University of
Hawaii student fees, and add them to the state's general fund.

something we worked hard for and our parents worked hard for,"
said UH-Manoa sophomore Thadd Chang, 19. Chang, like the more

A lifelong wildland firefighter, the 43-year-old Marsh founded

something big -- born from time spent in an Upper West Side
apartment testing recipes and staring at the wall as he
contemplated starting his first bakery. In 1990, Rubin opened
the original City Bakery near Manhattan's Union Square, and his
tarts would become famous (he's written a book about them, aptly
titled "Book of Tarts"). In February, after months of public
anticipation, he opened the second City Bakery in the Brentwood

making a great crust is difficult. A pie crust should be flaky,
a tart crust crisp, and you jump through hoops trying to achieve

implement or execute law and policy, which is related to
administering government business. This is why the bureaucracy
is referred to as 'the administration' while the political
executive is termed as the 'government'. 2. Policy-Advice :
The political significance of the bureaucracy largely comes from
its role as the policy-advisers to the government. Generally,

change for a mainline Final Fantasy game ever. focalbox Producer
Yoshinori Kitase, who has worked on the franchise since FFV,

game in the XIII trilogy was "story-driven," he said. It was a

Jump to: navigation, search Progressive bluegrass is a type of
bluegrass music which became popular in the 1960s and 1970s. The
four important elements (not always all present) of progressive
bluegrass are instrumentation (usually including electric
instruments, drums, piano, and more), songs imported or styles
imitated from other musical genres (like jazz, rock and others),
non-traditional chord progressions, and lengthy "jam band"-style

someone publishes a take-down of your favorite health food, but
NPR has slowly been chipping away at the Greek yogurt trend, and
unfortunately, it’s looking like the high protein snack is
better for your health than the environment. One could argue
that any dairy or meat product is bad for the planet, but what
makes Greek yogurt particularly wasteful, apparently, is the
removal of whey–the liquid that gets strained off of (real)
Greek yogurt to make it thick and protein-rich. NPR’s Dan
Charles has been on the Greek yogurt beat, first explaining that
not all “Greek yogurt” sold in stores is made authentically; now
explaining that the authentic methods behind the popular import
are really wasteful–and produce byproducts that aren’t so hot
for the environment. I was shocked by how much goes to waste:

system of axioms" for ZFC (or any other theory) in the following
(unusual) sense : say that a subset S of ZFC is "sufficient" if
there is an explicit procedure that constructs a model of ZFC
from any model of S. Thus, for example, ZF is sufficient since
inside ZF we can construct Godel's universe L which is a model
for ZFC. My questions : are minimal sufficient subsets of ZFC
known? Is extensionality+infinity+(power set)+(separation
scheme) sufficient? share|improve this question 5 Answers 5 I
think that you haven't quite asked the question you intended to
ask, since $L$ is not a set, but rather a proper class, and of
course by the incompleteness theorem no subtheory of ZFC, if
consistent, can prove that there is a set model of ZFC. So your
remarks about ZF having the property you state are not correct.
Rather, it seems that what you want is a minimal or very weak
subtheory $S$ of ZFC such that from any model of $S$ we can

cinematic collaboration between the acclaimed, London-based
still photographer-turned-director Rankin, co-helmer Chris

Las Vegas). This parable, heavily laden with doses of magic
realism and dark humor, unfurls on the gritty streets of North
London, where kingpin Mr. Karva (James Cosmo) runs a series of
rackets with the assistance of a lightning-paced courier known
as Roadrunner (Daon Broni). In time, Karva is due for
replacement, and either his stepson, Othello (David Leon), or
his not-too-bright partner, Emilio (Bronson Webb), will usurp
the throne. Meanwhile, Roadrunner happens upon a Wild Child-like

of pretending to be another individual in order to deceive
others and gain some advantage. The crime of false
impersonation is defined by federal statutes and by state
statutes that differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In some
states, pretending to be someone who does not actually exist can
constitute false impersonation. For example, suppose Bill
attempts to evade prosecution for a crime by giving the
arresting officer a fictitious name and address. In Colorado,
where "[a] person who knowingly assumes a false or fictitious
identity and, under that identity, does any other act intending
unlawfully to gain a benefit for himself is guilty of criminal
impersonation," Bill could be charged with a crime (Colo. Rev.
Stat. Ann. § 18-5-113[1] [West 1996]). In this situation, the
benefit Bill hopes to realize is avoiding prosecution, so that

this dynamic and actually invites the audience to participate,

Kelleher/Marine Photobank) While farmed fish and shellfish can
supplement our seafood supply, they can't replace the variety
and abundance of seafood from the wild. Some fish farms still
depend on wild populations to supply eggs or young that the
farmers raise for market. Many fish farms also depend on wild
fish, like anchovies, as food for the farmed species. Some Fish

sardines and anchovies are caught and processed into fishmeal

AM Benazir Bhutto The children's summer holidays have begun.
I am sending them to London. My sister lives there with her
kids. I want the cousins to spend time together and get to know
each other. Since the budget session is on until June 30, I
cannot take the children to London myself. I have arranged to
take them to Dubai (which is an hour and a half away from
Karachi). A friend of mine will accompany them to London. I
ring up the office. No news yet about the kidnapped deputy
leader of the opposition. His car has been found in a remote
part of the desert leading to the mountains. My political
secretary is in the Sindh High Court today. It is a big pink
stone building built during the British Raj. Like others, she
has had to spend her hard-earned savings on lawyers to defend
herself. It seems that all over the world political leaders are
forced to pay legal fees to defend themselves against charges
made when they become famous. It is the |

recently just bought a musicman stingray (4str) and it is really
awesome. I play in the praise and worship team every sunday and
the one thing they ask me is to get a good tone. These good tone
they want is not having too trebly and gives more low frequency.
I already tried many eq settings but when I cut highs, I can't
hear the D and G strings when I play them. I am thinking of
buying a flatwound strings so I can get more mellow sound and
smoother highs. What can brand can you recommend? Do you think I
need an effect pedal like compressor and limiter? Thank You!

which are round wound string ground down nearly flat, for that
very reason. They used to be stainless steel, but now they are

so hard? Let me preface this with I always choose the hardest
difficulty before I start a game. I usually make a point to
replay games where you have to unlock the hardest difficulty.
So naturally I chose "Normal" difficulty, the highest option
available. Well the beginning "tutorial" (if it could be called
that) left a lot to be desired- just flashed some text across
the screen and most of it was nonsensical since I didn't have
any powers at the time when it was attempting to describe how to
use powers. I made it to day 6 without assigning any powers,
then I figured that out, sort of. As far as I can tell (in PS3
controller terms) triangle is the power button, and applying a
direction to the joystick then pressing triangle results in
doing the thing you set to the directional slot? It's confusing
as hell, I still don't know if this is true because ever since
equipping powers she does different things even when I'm
pressing square (attack). The |

0.131455 | 3.181406 | 158 | Monday, June 30, 2008 Summer Internships For those of you
doing summer internships, I present the Seven Rules* For
Creative Interns: 1. Find out who the hardest working person
in the agency is and try to match them. 2. Ask for additional
projects from as many creative directors as you can. 3. Show
your student book to every creative director, art director,
copywriter and recruiter in the agency. No matter how rough it
is. Get as many opinions as you can. 4. Talk to people. Don't
slink off into your cubicle to concept. You're not Gollum. 5.
Explore. Particularly if you're in a new city. 6. Find out
what you can expense. Don't burn any bridges. But you can always
ask. 7. Find out who would be the best person to truthfully
answer the question, "What do I need to do to eventually get a
full-time job here?" Then go ask. Good luck. (By the way, these
are the same rules for non-intern creatives who have full-time
jobs. The only modification is the #7: recplace "get a full-time
job" with "become a cre |

in response to Magic_Man: (This comment was removed by the site
staff.) How would we know since our government has not tried
very hard to enforce the law. Once Arizona passed their law
illegals fled before the law came into effect. Canada dropped
the anchor baby clause when chinese women flew into the country
to drop babies to gain citizenship. We need to drop the anchor
babies clause. Mexico has stricter laws on immigration, and
they have no trouble enforcing the law against who they want.
Israel, Norway, and many other countries have no problem keeping
illegals out of their countries. I know many legal immigrants
who did it the right way, and they are working multiple jobs to
get the rest of their family over here legally. How is it fair
to let these illegal felons that use identity fraud to remeain

Kenya's 'national hero' By Adam Mynott BBC News, Nairobi
Kenyans give their views on the man who may be the next US
president Eighteen months ago, few Kenyans had even heard of
Barack Obama. He was a little known US senator from Illinois.
Those who were aware of his existence lived in western Kenya
near to the village of Alego-Kogello, 60km (37 miles) from the
town of Kisumu where the Kenyan side of his family live. Now
his meteoric rise to political fame has propelled the name
Barack Obama onto the lips of millions of Kenyans. He has
Kenyan blood coursing through his veins and has been adopted as
a Kenyan national hero, who just might become the most powerful
man in the world. Barack Obama has never lived in Kenya and he
has visited the country just three times. The Kenyan blood
comes from his father, Barack Obama senior, who was born in the
remote village of Alego where he herded goats as a child.

identified to me that using articles and knowing when to use
them is really hard for her. She understands the difference
between "a" and "the," but is more unsure about when to use

subtle to the point of being almost idiomatic: some nouns are

02:00 PM ET Why Damascus remains eerily calm Editor's Note:
Bilal Y. Saab is a Visiting Fellow at the Monterey Institute of
International Studies. By Bilal Y. Saab - Special to CNN
Despite their pain and suffering, Syrians' struggle against
tyranny shows no signs of slowing down. A year ago, inspired by
the success of revolts in the Arab world, Syrians rose against
the authoritarian regime of President Bashar Assad, seeking to
replace it with a democratic system of government. Their
remarkable bravery and unrelenting determination
notwithstanding, Syrians are still far from achieving their
goal, a dream that is five decades old. Instead, mostly because
of al-Assad’s systematic and lethal repression campaign, Syrian
society is inching closer to full-blown civil war, one that
threatens to tear the country apart a la 1975-19 |

controversial cover (Dossier/Facebook) LOS ANGELES (KTLA) --
Barnes & Noble and Borders want to censor a magazine cover that
features a shirtless androgynous male model. The 19-year-old
Australian model, Andrej Pejic, appears on the cover of Dossier
with curlers in his hair and his chest exposed. Both bookstores
have demanded the magazine come wrapped in opaque plastic to
prevent confused customers from thinking it features a topless
woman, The Herald Sun is reporting. Dossier co-founder and
creative director Skye Parrott told "We knew that this cover
presented a very strong, androgynous image, and that could make
some people uncomfortable. That's partly why we chose it."
Parrott tells the site that the censorship poses a question of
gender. "What message are the big book stores sending - that
the male torso is only appropriate all-ages viewing when the man
in question is ripped?" Those who oppose the censorship say if
