Let's reset. Where can passwords be compromised? Step 1. Data entry. Passwords can be trapped by key loggers, and various other nefarious attacks like shared libraries and things that take over the kernel or some part of the application. HTML can not fix anything here. Step 2. Data transmission. Passwords can be intercepted as they travel over the computer network. SSL takes care of this. If a developer fails to use HTML for password entry forms, any kind of hashing method used on the client end will be useless, as the evildoer will get to see whatever it is that is needed for login, whether that thing is a thing that is clear text or has been hashed once or a million times. Whatever it is they can see it and use it. Step 3. Data storage. I think this is what you have been worrying about. Dumb developers store the password as transmitted to them, so that if hackers manage to steal their database, they get all these usernames and passwords. Worse, most of them will most likely work as is on other websites. The correct fix is for the developer to stop storing plain passwords, and store a hash instead. This way if hackers get the stored passwords, they are only useful if the hacker can manage to invert the hash. Depending on the hashing algorithm this may or may not be feasible. But here's the critical part. If the hacker can not invert the hash, these password hashes are useless. They can not be used to login here ore anywhere else. What you are proposing is that, in case developers are too stupid to do things correctly, the client performs some kind of hash prior to transmitting the password. The first problem here (compared to the correct solution) is that the hash no longer provides protection, because now the hash itself can be used to log in. In the correct solution, the real password must be sent to login. In your proposed band-aid, the hash can be used to log in. All you've done is create a new password of a different form. It's just as vulnerable as ever during steps one and two above. During step one when the user enters their real password, a hacker can watch the web browser perform the hash, and then grab the hash from memory. A hacker can also grab the hash during step two, transmission. And in both cases, it can be used to log in to the website, just as a plain text password could be. This is no better than the plaintext passwords stored in clear text on the server. But you say the server could hash the hash before it stores it. True, but if they knew to do that, then they would have known to do it with the plain text password and the problem you are trying to solve doesn't exist at all. You also point out that instead of just hashing the password you could hash user:password:domain, and this would prevent hackers from being able to notice two users with the same password (because user is hashed), or from using this password on another domain (because server domain is hashed). But how would this be implemented in HTML. First, you can't actually just use the domain. We have a server that answers to foo.com, bar.com, www.foo.com, www.bar.com, and www.foo.bar.com. So if the user logs in once from one domain, then their password won't work from the other? The only feasible fix is to add a HTML attribute that lets the web developer specify a value for "domain" in the hashed string. But what if they don't because they're a dumb developer? A smart developer is already hashing the password so we don't care about them. The dumb developer will screw this up too, and you end up with some default which will either break their site if accessed by more than one domain, or fail to give any cross-site password reuse protection (e.g if the default domain is the empty string). The situation is the same for the user. How does the web form know what the user name is? You have to specify an attribute in the HTML of another form field to pull this from. You can't realistically suggest that some hackish guess of looking for fields named "user", "name", "login", "email", etc. be an established part of the HTML standard. So a dumb developer will skip this step, and lose the protection here too. Your proposed goal as I understood it was to protect passwords even on sites written by dumb developers. The problem is, the solution is unworkable. Even if by some miracle a developer was smart enough to use this new hash setup correctly specifying the user field and domain and hashing algorithm to use, you still have a "solution" which is not as good as the developer who simply hashes the passwords at the server end. To reiterate, hashing on the server end requires the hacker to enter a string that is different than what is stored in the database. Hashing on the client end allows the hacker to use the string stored in the database for login. The rest of what you've said is just useless obfuscation. It's just not possible to legislate away stupidity. tomReceived on Tuesday, 4 September 2012 01:44:48 UTC

Tunnel Vision is a transformational journey from darkness into light. A gradual movement which is immensely life changing embracing silver linings from challenge and adversity to focus envision and achieve unimaginable, great human accomplishments. Tunnel Vision is absolutely necessary for the start up entrepreneur. Too many people who want to be successful, achieve greatness by the creation of an idea, product or service never reach their goal because they do not develop a "tunnel vision" approach. I challenge you all here and now to live your dreams beyond all of your wildest expectations. Go for it!
As the story unfolds, I detail for the reader a new and creative ways to successfully cushion lives surrounded by violence. I share my story with a bit of a twist to protect the innocent; ways to speak, to act and to focus lazor like in order to promote positive energy flow and to enjoy a healthier and less troubled post-trauma life. A learned behavior pattern, "Tunnel Vision" is utilized to reduce the likelihood of the perpetuation of trauma, to add daily joy and laughter, to make the impossible possible. Self-empowerment, brought about by consistent nurturing and loving support of my children and friends backed with a disciplined imagination and focus, leads to a more stable and violence-free life. Saving one individual at a time as I have been able to save myself from the affects of violence, trauma and abuse is my paramount objective.
Outcomes utilizing "Tunnel Vision" methodology are simple to implement yet profound in how consistent implementation and follow-through will positively affect each life it touches. This goal – to save children and adults from violence – will be met for all those that embrace "Tunnel Vision."
I recently published "Tunnel Vision, a focused approach" based on a well thought out and well-orchestrated methodology/approach of personal healing detailing concrete steps to overcome the effects of violence and abuse. It is a book paved with concrete reality, moreover it is a "how to guide" for those seek "a way" to overcome grief and devastation that comes from the after effects of trauma, abuse and isolation to move on to accomplish miracles in life…

Photo by Mark Cristino for ABS-CBNnews.com MANILA, Philippines - (UPDATE 2) Petron Blaze played A-1 basketball on both ends on its return from a poor shooting night Friday and the Boosters sustained their winning streak with a 91-78 whipping of former coach Rajko Toroman and his new team Barako Bull in the PBA Commissioner's Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last night. After making only 60 points (the team's lowest in a game in 12 years) on 32 percent shooting against Air21, the Boosters came back on an attack mode, particularly import Renaldo Balkman who poured in 33 points to lead the team to a fifth straight win following a losing conference debut to Globalport. Arwind Santos, Ronald Tubid and Junmar Fajardo also scored in double figures and Petron hit at a 41.4-percent clip in dominating the Barako Bull side that went down with its third loss against the same number of wins. The Boosters set the pace throughout, leading by as many as 25 points at 66-41 on back-to-back three-pointers by Santos and Jay Washington late in the third quarter. Barako Bull import Evan Brock scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter with Sean Anthony and Mark Macapagal combining for the same production as the Energy Cola made the game a little close in the end. Despite their big lead, Petron coach Olsen Racela still pushed his team till the latter part of the lopsided game. "I'm still not yet used to the feeling of coaching. When you're a coach, a 20-point lead is not enough. As a player, there's the tendency to relax a little. As a coach, you still want your team to defend properly and run smoothly," said Racela. Balkman was all business to the finish, collecting 14 points, four assists, four steals and one block on top of his 33 points – his second best output in the local pro league. "He's been our catalyst and leader especially on defense. His intensity and energy rub off on his teammates," said Racela of the former New York Knick and Denver Nugget. "That's how I am. I play every game as if it's the last," said the prolific Puerto Rican player, the tourney's leading scorer. A crowd-pleaser, Balkman went 14-of-24 from the field, including couples of rim-rattling jams. For the second straight game, Bruno Sundov sat out long minutes and failed to finish the game due to fouls but Rain or Shine squeezed through, this time nipping Barangay Ginebra, 96-93. "It's just a tribute and credit to the locals for stepping up and working hard to make up for the minutes our import wasn't able to play," said Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao. The Elasto Painters stayed close behind the leaders at 4-1 while the Kings fell deeper down the leaderboard at 1-5.

ASEM endorses Indias call to solve global financial crisisOctober 25th, 2008 - 8:34 pm ICT by ANI
Beijing, Oct 25 (ANI): The Asia-Europe Summit has concluded here with a call to the Asian and European nations to safeguard international financial stability and promote world economic growth.
The two-day Summit of the 45 members Group, made a fervent appeal for a joint global action to respond to the financial crisis.
The Beijing declaration on sustainable development adopted at the end of the summit said that the group is willing to strengthen cooperation in a mutually beneficial manner and work towards a win-win situation to make positive contribution to sustainable development.
A statement by the Summit said, all countries should take firm, decisive and effective steps in a responsible and timely manner to rise to the challenge of the financial crisis. Leaders also expressed full confidence that the crisis could be overcome through concerted efforts.
The leaders had an enthusiastic and in-depth discussion on how to tackle the crisis, as well as the need to promote Asia-Europe trade and investment.
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singhs call for a Global Monitoring Authority and need for strengthening the regulatory and supervision mechanism was widely appreciated by the leaders.
Earlier, addressing the summit the Prime Minister said for globalisation to succeed it must be fair and beneficial for the hole humanity.
Describing Sustainable development as one of the biggest challenges of the present times, Dr Singh said, a lot of cooperative work is needed to transform it into an operational strategy for development.
Dr Singh cautioned that failure on this front would lead to an unstable world. Dwelling on the Environment issues, the Prime Minister said, the international community has not lived up to its commitments for technology transfer and additional financing since the Rio Conference.
Calling for the pursuit of innovative mechanisms for raising finance for development, Dr Singh favored a global action plan to promote food and energy security as well as environmental sustainability.
The Prime Minister said, there is also need to continuously strengthen international cooperation to combat terrorism and all should join in the efforts to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of terrorism to justice.
On the sidelines of the summit, the Prime Minister met the Chinese President Hu Jintao. The two leaders reviewed the entire gamut of bilateral relations.
The meeting was the second between the two leaders since they met in July at Hokkaido in Japan during the G-8 summit. Dr Singh is understood to have conveyed India''s gratitude to the Chinese President for helping New Delhi to get a clean waiver at the NSG and also the Safeguards agreement with the IAEA.
The Foreign Secretary Mr Shiv Shankar Menon has said,India is willing for nuclear cooperation with China as they have done in the past. China had supplied uranium in early 1990s for the Tarapur Atomic Power Plant.
In reply to a question, Menon said, India is satisfied with the progress on boundary talks with China. Our correspondent reports that bilateral relations between India and China are developing in all the areas very fast, particularly in the trade sector.
Both the countries have set a bilateral trade target of 60 billion dollars by 2010, which they aim to achieve one year ahead of the target.
The Prime Minister is returning to New Delhi tonight from Beijing after a successful 5-day visit to Japan and China. (ANI)

bill-swift - February 26, 2013
So the Harlem Shake has been entertaining for the entire duration of its viral run, but it's time for another video to take first place in the Viral Hall of Fame. I think you'll agree with me when I say that there's only so much weird dancing and freaky costumes people can take, seeing as Psy's Gangnam Style was the biggest viral dance hit before that.
We're bringing viral back to clips of people doing just crazy stuff without the weird music are the folks behind Gallon Smash. The best thing about is that anyone can do it. All you have to do is grab a gallon and go--just be prepared to get a couple of bruises on your ass though, because gallon smashing is serious business.
Kickstart your Monday with over three minutes of pure gallon smashing fun. Enjoy!

Happy day!!
So much emotional and tough stuff on the board right now.
I wanted to share-Maca talked with his dad today about our situation. I won't go into details about their conversation (that's for him to do).
But I wanted to say-it went very well and I'm SO proud of Maca for doing this!
He and his dad are VERY VERY close. They had many years alone together and their bond is more then JUST father/son. So this was a HUGE and VERY important step for Maca.
At any rate-it went well and dad was reassuring.
I wasn't worried-but Maca was and it's so nice that he can relax on that front now. I know he needed to be able to be honest and open with his dad or this would NEVER work. His dad is too much of an important part of his life.
This for me is REALLY good news!
FYI-if you missed it in previous posts, my parents were never a concern. They know ALL about my life and my history so there was never a concern that our "new" lifestyle choices would be a problem for them. In fact considering the history and their full awareness of my having cheated on Maca with C and ALL the b.s. I figure knowing we're being fully honest, open and loving with one another is just a relief to them and they couldn't care less about the sex part!

EDMONTON — The organizer of a Jeep charity event says a stunt that led to the death of a spectator was not planned.
Melinda Green, who was 20, was killed when she was crushed between two Jeeps in May 2013 in downtown Edmonton.
Sarina St. Germain, one of the organizers of the event, says another spectator and a media crew had asked for the stunt, so she cleared the area.
The manoeuvre involved one Jeep climbing up the front tire of another Jeep before the top vehicle turned off the engine.
St. Germain says the driver of the climbing Jeep restarted his engine and lurched forward about three cars lengths, crushing Green.
Green's mother left the courtroom in tears as St. Germain told a fatality inquiry how her daughter died.

Designed by the creators of Deadly Towers, crafted in the image of Bokosuka Wars and King's Knight, Mercenary Force should by all accounts have been awful. But no, it was great!
Japanese title: Tenjin Kaisen • 天神怪戦
Developer: Lenar/Live Planning
Publisher: Meldac
Release date: 4.28.1990 [JP] | 10.1990 [US] | 1990 [EU]
Genre: Shooter
Super Game Boy: None
Previous in series: None
Next in series: Tenjin Kaisen 2: Yomihon Yumegoyomi [KaZe/Meldac, 1992]
Similar titles: King's Knight [Bits Laboratory/Squaresoft, 1986 (NES)], Nemesis [Konami, 1990]
Thanks for the great coverage of this particular game. I would never have known that this was what the game actually was. My interpretation of the cover art in magazine ads (back in the 90's) left me with the impression that the game was a strategy or puzzle game. It actually looks like an amazing addition to the shooter genre. As an aside, I always felt like King's Knight was a great premise for a game, but was hampered by its implementation. It looks like this improved on that game's formula and then went beyond it to deliver something really unique.
Parish, honestly I thought Game Boy World was a ridiculous idea when it started. But it's turned out to be fascinating, and this Mercenary Force piece was totally worth viewing.
Contributing to the old Toastyfrog wiki and writing from my direct experience, it felt like just sharing old stories with like-minded folks, the kind of thing that lives or dies by its community. Long-term I think GBW has more legs — with the focus on forgotten history and gameplay/design, you're not only doing novel research, but making a strong case for why this history is worth revisiting at all. It still seems like such a crazy niche to be covering, but you're a video-games journalist, so you have the leg up on crazy, and your readers are all better for it. Cheers man 🙂

- Postcolonialism, Culture and Social Development: Contentious politics around development futures; includes recent work querying the extent to which Ecuador's current development policy is "postneoliberal" – see Geoforum 2012
- Political transnationalism and development networks, including research on ethnodevelopment policy formation in Andean countries
Research students
Sarah has supervised numerous PhD students (both UK and overseas), and welcomes enquiries from prospective applicants interested in pursuing PhD research at Cambridge on topics related to her own research (postneoliberal development and governance; social heterogeneity (intersectionality) and development policies, the postcolonial politics of territory and cartography). Recent and current PhD topics include:
- Indigenous rights, land title and resource conflicts: Bolivia under the MAS government
- Low income urban Indigenous women's work in the plurinational state of Bolivia
- Indigenous women, gender-ethnic performance and political participation in Yucatán, Mexico
- Grounded experiences of low-income rural women of Peru's Conditional Cash Transfer
- Indigenous women and boundary-making power on the Ecuador-Colombia border
Potential PhD students
I am currently interested in supervising work on the contentious politics around social difference, citizenship and state policy; on the politics and policy of 'leave no one behind' agendas coming from the Sustainable Development Goals; and various issues related to Indigenous geographies, including gender difference. My own research has focused on the Andean countries, although I have also supervised students' work in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, the United States and on themes around migrants and rights in Europe. If you have another topic in mind, you're welcome to contact me directly if you think there may be interests in common.

text: We've been using a Millipore Expedite Oligonucleotide synthesizing system for about a year and a half. All of a sudden, it became non-functional. The trityl reports show a rapid dropoff of efficiency and syntheses were terminating aberrantly due to the dropoff. Millipore's repair tech came out and attempted repair over a period of three days. After this wasn't effective, the recommended "solution" was to return to the old chemistry, where removing the oligo from the column must be done overnight at 55 degrees C, rather than room temp for 1.5 hours. First of all, the solution of returning to the outdated chemistry hardly seems acceptable. The system is marketed as an Expedite system, it should function with the Expedite chemistry. This is one of the major selling points that they have in their print ads so I think it's only fair to expect that the machine will continue to function as advertised for longer than 1.5 years. And if the Expedite chemistry is really the problem, why didn't this show up for over a year? Secondly, (CAVEAT- this is second-hand information) I was told that the rep. said that this was a relatively common problem they were seeing in units all over the country. Is this the case? Is anyone else having this trouble? Have you found any solution other than reverting to the old chemistry? Finally, if this is in fact a widespread problem, I think that it's dishonest for Millipore to market it's system using claims that it knows aren't valid in the long term. -Greg

Dim pictures from panasonic tz4
\015 I just got a panasonic tz4. It seems to be working fine, but pictures are just not as bright as those taken with my cannon or sony cameras. I've tried this on the same subject in the same light\015
Answers :
TZ stands for Travel Zoom. This means you get a small camera with a large zoom mainly made for outdoor good lighting conditions. But, there are custom setting that may allow you to correct for lighting. Try the Vivid color saturated setting on this camera.
It will not do as well as other cameras in lower light or moving objects.

In a surprise move, Senate Judiciary Chairman Robin Taylor this morning proposed a new Telecommunications Commission of Alaska to handle "phone wars" cases.
Taylor, a Wrangell Republican, spent all night with a bill drafter to find a way to remove the Regulatory Commission of Alaska from overseeing rates and interconnections between ACS and GCI, fierce competitors in local telephone service.
Gov. Tony Knowles called this week's special legislative session to have the RCA extended. Without an extension, the commission on Monday would begin a one-year "wind-down" leading to its termination. The House voted 34-4 Tuesday for a two-year extension.
ACS, which has lost its former monopolies in Juneau and Fairbanks due to RCA decisions, has come out in favor of the wind-down. GCI strongly supports an extension.
Based on campaign contributions, Taylor is seen as aligned with ACS. He says Knowles and members of the House leadership are "bought and paid for" by GCI.
The Senate Judiciary bill, still awaiting a committee vote late this morning, would extend the RCA by one year but remove much of its work, leaving it with oversight of public utilities providing electricity, water and sewer, garbage collection and pipelines. Taylor said the pipeline component could be a major issue for the commission if plans proceed to move North Slope natural gas to market.
As it is, "This commission takes too long to make a decision," he said. "Justice delayed is justice denied."
The bill also would impose tight restrictions on "ex parte" or non-official communications occurring between commissioners and utility executives, in what Taylor says is an attempt to avoid the appearance of favoritism toward particular companies.
He and other Republicans on the committee have grilled RCA Chairwoman Nan Thompson and GCI Vice President Dana Tindall about a trip Thompson took to GCI's private lodge near Dillingham. Thompson and Tindall testified the get-together, intended to be a joint briefing of an aide to U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, did not include discussion of any open cases before the RCA.
Tindall called Taylor's new bill "totally ridiculous," noting that he hadn't held a Judiciary Committee hearing on the RCA during this year's regular session of the Legislature. Taylor's goal is simply to get new commissioners considering ACS cases, she said.
Support for Taylor's approach in the Senate is unclear, but House approval looks unlikely.
"Unacceptable," said House Finance Co-Chairman Eldon Mulder, an Anchorage Republican. "We're going to go to caucus this afternoon, but I would be amazed if there would be anybody in our caucus that would find it acceptable."
David Ramseur, chief of staff to Knowles, called the Judiciary bill a "non-starter."
"These are the guys who want to cut government; now they're creating an entirely new bureaucracy," Ramseur said. "Presumably they would pass the bill on to consumers."
In other special session business, the Republican majority overturned the governor's veto of a campaign finance bill.
The 41-16 party-line vote of the Legislature enacted a bill that will regulate soft-money "issue advertisements" that explicitly target specific candidates. The governor said it didn't go far enough in stemming "soft money" attacks.
Knowles and Democrats have been outraged by television ads from a Virginia group called Americans for Job Security that say the Knowles-Ulmer administration is responsible for economic stagnation in Alaska. Lt. Gov. Fran Ulmer is the leading Democratic candidate for governor this year.
"These ads are not subject to regulation under current law," emphasized Sen. Gene Therriault, a North Pole Republican who worked on the bill.
Therriault said the bill is a reaction to court cases and is constructed cautiously to avoid constitutional issues that courts might be looking at. "We're talking about freedom of speech here."
But Rep. John Davies, a Fairbanks Democrat, said that groups can speak all they want but should have to say whose money enabled them to do so. Otherwise, the campaign money "becomes laundered, in effect," Davies said.
Knowles issued an angry statement following the override.
"This action comes as little surprise as the Republican-backed, mis-named 'Americans for Job Security' initiated its third round of negative attack ads in the Alaska media," he said. "The Republican super-majority in the Legislature predictably flexed its muscle to open wide the floodgates of soft money." Citizens will turn to the initiative and referendum process in response to "this underhanded, mudslinging, machine politics," Knowles predicted.

Opinion: Clean Water Act still essential
Clean Water Act still essential
The Clean Water Act was passed 40 years ago Thursday, and it continues to benefit our lives. You have the Clean Water Act to thank if you drink tap water and know it comes from a safe and protected reservoir, or if you bring your family to the beach and swim without getting sick from sewage.
This extraordinary law has accomplished a tremendous amount in 40 years. When Congress passed the bill, the Cuyahoga River had repeatedly caught fire, 26 million fish died from contamination in one lake in Florida, and dumping raw sewage into rivers and lakes was standard practice. Between 60 and 70 percent of America's lakes, rivers, and coastal water were considered unsafe for fishing and swimming in 1972.
Continue Reading
The Clean Water Act reversed these destructive trends by transforming the way America views water. We used to treat water bodies like big trashcans—an easy place to dump our garbage, industrial waste, and sewage. The Clean Water Act declared that nobody had the right to treat our shared water resources as their private dumpster. It made all discharges into the nation's water against the law unless you had a permit and met baseline standards.
Making polluters responsible for their mess has improved public health and revived local economies. When waterfronts became giant garbage bins, cities turned their backs on these valuable resources. Now that our water has gotten cleaner, people are coming to stroll, dine, play sports, attend concerts, and even swim. Riverfront parks and redevelopment have become vibrant community centers, from the Hudson River in New York, to the Missouri River in Kansas City, to the Salt River in Tempe, Arizona.
Strong standards for clean water have driven these improvements. Yet some lawmakers in Congress would like to turn back the clock. In the last year and a half, House Republicans have voted over 300 times to undermine public health and environmental safeguards, including many related to our waterways. They have tried to cut funding for the treatment plants that keep sewage out of our waterways and the projects that will restore the Chesapeake Bay, the Florida Everglades and other iconic waterways.

This was a second attempt in two weeks. The first attempt we had to cut short because Chad camped on the (false) summit that night and brought a rainy storm to the mountain. Perhaps Shasta did not like them sleeping on the top.
Anyway, we practiced various skills necessary for glacier traverse and finally were able to get on Hotlum Glacier to practice crevasse navigation, detecting, and crossing over snow bridges. It sounds simple but for many of the team members it was the first encounter with this type of challenges. However, they all did well and I had no problem to rope with them. (I cannot remember when the last time I roped on a glacier.) It is my small contribution to keep people safe in the mountains.
As of conditions, it was warm and snow bridges were soft. The Hotlum Glacier is in a good shape though. However, one has to be careful with route choice and crevasse crossing because there are many hidden traps and other surprises or disappointments awaiting inexperienced climbers.
Here is the video with highlights:

A Facebook page created for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center was recently vandalized with some unfaithful photos.
The page displays photos of Dr. King from the center, based in Atlanta, and also disturbing racial imagery, including a photo that uses the N-word and several pictures that display fried chicken.
The Facebook page represents King as a public figure and it is unknown who is behind the vandalism. New pictures have been added frequently over the course of yesterday's national observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
The page currently has over 825,000 likes.

(Originally broadcast on July 1, 2011)
After a profanity-laced performance earlier this month, comedian Tracy Morgan came under fire for his provocative (some would say hateful) remarks regarding homosexuality. But June 2011 has been a particularly newsworthy month in regards to similar episodes which have prompted a discussion about homophobia in the black community.

Social science can be so amusing. There is a bit of a contretemps over several recent articles that used datasets supposedly measuring the personality traits of liberals and conservatives which has resulted in several abashed corrections. The researchers used the data in an effort to show that personality traits are not the cause of political attitudes, but instead both are correlated with some other factor, most likely genetic. Interesting enough. This finding is not what is being corrected.
Instead, what is being corrected is the rather casual assumption in the studies by the researchers that a personality factor identified in the datasets they used is supposedly associated with conservative political views. That factor is called Psychoticism. They hasten to explain that Pyschoticism is not the same thing as psychotic. The original article, "Correlation not Causation: The Relationship between Personality Traits and Political Ideologies," in the American Journal of Political Science explains:
Having a high Psychoticism score is not a diagnosis of being clinically psychotic or psychopathic. Rather, P is positively correlated with tough-mindedness, risk-taking, sensation-seeking, impulsivity, and authoritarianism (Adorno et al. 1950; Altemeyer 1996; Eysenck and Eysenck 1985, McCourt et al. 1999). In social situations, those who score high on P are more uncooperative, hostile, troublesome, and socially withdrawn, but lack feelings of inferiority and have an absence of anxiety. At the extremes, those scoring high on P are manipulative, tough-minded, and practical (Eysenck 1954). By contrast, people low on P are more likely to be more altruistic, well socialized, empathic, and conventional (Eysenck and Eysenck 1985; Howarth 1986). As such, we expect higher P scores to be related to more conservative political attitudes, particularly for militarism and social conservatism.
Well, guess what. It turned out that they'd coded their spreadsheet wrong. Higher "psychoticism" scores actually correlated with liberal beliefs, not conservative ones. So their study, cited by many liberals as proof that Conservatives Be crazy, showed the exact opposite of their conclusions.
Digression time:
The best thing about science is that it has a corrective mechanism: someone else can do the experiment and check the results and see if they're borne out. This mechanism works well in the physical sciences, where mechanisms are fairly deterministic — no matter how many times you drop a steel ball, it will always follow the same law of gravity. It works reasonably well in the biological sciences. In biology, systems are more complex and a bit more unpredictable. On balance, heavy drinking will kill you. But there are people who drink like fish and live long lives because genes or other factors or just plain luck keep them going. You also have a problem of reproducing experiments — I can mix chemicals over and over again and weed out the bad results. But I only get to do a 40-year study of people's eating habits once.
In the social sciences, though, all bets are off. Part of it is that you are dealing with complex systems. Economies are complex, humans are complex and we only get to live out history once. Part of it is an "observer effect". People behave differently or even lie to researchers when they know they are part of an experiment. For example, Sweden claimed the number of men who had ever seen a prostitute dropped massively after they imposed their "Nordic Model" on sex work, which only makes sense if massive numbers of Swedish men were struck dead by the legislation. In reality, fewer men were willing to admit they had because of the social pressure.
But it's also ideological. Physicists, chemists, engineers and biologists tend to have a mix of political views; social scientists tend to be almost exclusively liberal. Physical and biological research only occasionally has big political implications (e.g., global warming, GMOs, evolution). And even in these cases, the science is not political; the science is politicized by opportunistic politicians.
But in the social sciences, almost everything has some political implication. So results that confirm the ideological bias of the researchers sometimes isn't questioned too carefully. Massive tomes on income inequality are praised despite serious methodological flaws. Papers supporting Keynesian economics are taken as gospel despite huge flaws. Garbage research claiming massive amount of sex trafficking is used to inform policy.
An example more germane? A lot of people have claimed that Donald Trump's supporters are authoritarian. This sounds about right to me except … that analysis is based on sociological debris. Here are the questions used to determine if someone is authoritarian:
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: independence or respect for elders?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: obedience or self-reliance?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: to be considerate or to be well-behaved?
Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: curiosity or good manners?
Everyone claims this is the "definitive" test of authoritarian tendencies. Is it? Those traits seem to track culture far more than they track politics. My grandparents' generation would have shown up as very authoritarian even though they voted FDR in four times and huge numbers of them had fled Europe because of the rise of authoritarianism. But because this test shows that conservatives are more authoritarian and all the sociologists believe that conservatives are more authoritarian, everyone accepts it.
But which is more authoritarian? Believing in a government that governs least? Or believing in a government that controls our lives? The problem here is that liberals don't think of themselves as authoritarian even thought they are. If you believe in government controlling healthcare, education, retirement and half of the country's wealth, you're authoritarian, no matter how sincerely you believe that gays should be able to get married or how liberal your parenting methods are.
(This problem of nomenclature comes up a lot. I can't find the link, but McArdle has written about a study that showed that liberals valued "fairness" more than conservatives. Every liberal scholar and pundit cited it was proof of how unfair conservative ideas were. But conservatives objected, arguing that wealth redistribution was not "fairness". They saw it as plunder. Conservatives think that allowing people to keep what they've earned is "fairness". In the end, the researchers agreed that people might differ on the definition of "fairness" and changed their word choice.)
In any case, this is yet another demonstration of how bias clouds the social sciences. This was a very basic error, something that even a modicum of checking would have shown. but no one questioned it, no referee gainsaid it, no one reproduced the results because it confirmed what liberals wanted to believe.

We have a part time dog, she mainly lives with my parents
but when they holiday rather than leave the poor mutt in the hands of my
brother she returns to us for a vacation of her own. She is sat on the floor now as I type looking up at my pudding
and trying to use her puppy dog eyes on me to get a tasty titbit for
herself!!! Later no doubt she will try
and jump on the bed and make herself comfortable, especially as our house is
work in progress so our bed is a better option than an uncarpeted floor!
is certainly making herself very much at home again; she has already attacked
the boys swing ball in an attempt to pinch the ball for herself and then went
on to lure a man dog over from a neighbouring farm (I got a shock seeing a
strange dog in the garden, but fortunately it had a lovely temperament!).
After all that excitement I think she will
be ready to sleep tonight, she is yawning in the picture. She is an
old dog now so I do not begrudge her if she does hop on to our bed and it does
not sound like she is the only one who likes home comforts.
have a competition running at the moment to win £500 towards a bigger bed if
your pet is a bed hogger! The
competition closes on the 13th of August, so you still have time to
take a snap and tweet it for your chance at the prize. I have been looking at some of the entries
and they do look so cute snuggled up in bed!
Tiny cats, lots of dogs and even a fluffy rabbit! I should try and get a snap of our old aged
hamster but he would probably eat our bedding and make a nest…
of the competition can be found on the Carpetright website. I am sure most of us have pets guilty of bed
hogging crimes, but then again if I was a pet I would want the more luxurious option myself!

The best SIM only deals in March 2018
Compare the cheapest and best SIM only deals from the leading networks including BT, Virgin Media, Vodafone, EE, O2, Three and many more. Use our comparison to compare prices, contracts, minutes, texts and data usage.
Buyer's guide to the best SIM-only deals
How do I compare different SIM-only plans?
If you're happy with your current handset but want a better value tariff, a SIM-only deal could provide the ideal solution. You'll sign up to a new contract but instead of being supplied with a new phone, you just get a new SIM card instead with a bundle of minutes, texts and internet data.
Our comparison table above makes it easy to choose the right one for your circumstances and allows you to reorder the deals by contract length, monthly cost or the amount of inclusive calls, texts or internet allowance.
When looking for a new mobile deal, it's important to compare the signal strength of different networks to avoid signing up to a contract, only to find it tricky to make a call or send a text in your area. Each provider has a coverage checker on their respective websites, where you can enter your postcode and see the level of 2G, 3G and 4G coverage.
As you may know, 4G is the fastest mobile signal widely available, delivering mobile broadband at a faster speed than ever before. Coverage is patchy for those providers that have 4G signal, which makes it even more important to check your area first before signing up to a contract.
Check the detail
As is always the case with signing up to a new service, the devil is in the detail so it's important to read through the small print to avoid being caught out. Key issues to look out for include penalties if you exceed your allowance or want to cancel your contract, and the rates for calls, texts and data usage outside of the plan.
Look out for any fair usage and traffic management policies as they can put limitations on some seemingly unlimited plans, and if you want to use your handset for tethering, check which providers permit it as not all of them do. Finally, if you initially took your phone out on a pay monthly contract, the handset may be tied to the network and might need to be unlocked before it will accept a new SIM card from a rival provider.
Why choose a SIM only deal?
If you're happy with your existing handset, it makes sense to hold onto it and just get a new SIM plan rather than forking out for a brand new phone and contract, and here's why.
They're budget-friendly
The cheapest SIM-only deals start from just £5 per month and are great for light talkers, whereas medium to heavy users can get their hands on plenty of minutes, texts and data from £7 to £15 per month. Value for money varies widely throughout the market however, and while many are generous and affordable, others aren't so competitive, so it pays to thoroughly compare using the table above.
With a choice of flexible contract lengths
Different contract lengths are one of the main draws of SIM-only deals. If you're after flexibility, you'll like the option of one-month rolling contracts that can be cancelled at any time if you no longer need the plan or fancy switching to a different one. In fact, many tariffs are available on both short- and long-term contracts, and rates are often cheaper if you can commit for longer.
Pros & cons
- Wide range of affordable options from £5 per month
- Choice of short and long term contracts
- Standard, micro and nano SIM sizes available for all devices
- No shiny new handset
- Your existing phone may need to be unlocked
- No guarantee that you can take your number
Which package is right for me?
SIM-only deals are pretty straightforward so it's simple to compare and find the best one for you. Here are four pointers to keep in mind when looking at the different plans.
Consider how much you like to talk and text
SIM-only plans include pre-paid bundles of minutes and texts so it's important to pick the right amount for your level of usage to avoid paying for more than you need or incurring extra charges if you bust your allowance. Look at your previous phone bills and work out your average monthly usage. If your phone is never out of your hand, consider a SIM deal with unlimited calls and texts.
And how much you time you spend online
Mobile broadband through 3G and 4G makes the internet more accessible than ever and enables us to do everything from emailing friends and shopping, to downloading songs and watching catch up TV, wherever we are. Consider which activities you like to do and how often, and pick a data limit to match. Remember to look out for tethering policies if you want to use your SIM-only plan to get other devices online as well.
Plus whether you want a short- or long-term contract
The flexible one-month rolling contracts offered by many SIM-only providers are very handy, particularly if you want to try out a new provider or sample 4G without committing long term. They are also useful if you think you might like a new phone soon, but are happy to stick with your current one to save money in the short term. However, one-month plans are generally priced a little higher than longer contracts, so factor this in when comparing deals.
And which provider offers the best network coverage in your area
As we've already mentioned, it's crucial to check coverage in your area before signing up with a new mobile provider. It's easy to do as each provider has a tool on their website where you'll just need to enter your postcode to see the level of 2G, 3G and 4G coverage, both indoors and outdoors. In addition to your home address, check the local area and anywhere you travel regularly for business or pleasure.
What will I need?
An existing handset
The name is pretty self-explanatory in that SIM-only deals just include the SIM and corresponding bundle only, so you'll need to provide your own handset. This can be an old phone from a previous contract, a second-hand model you've inherited or bought, or a newbie you've purchased outright. Remember that with the exception of brand new phones, your handset may be locked to the previous provider and may need unlocking if you're switching to a different one.
Port Authorisation Code (PAC)
If you're dealing with your primary mobile, the chances are that you probably want to keep your number. This is easily done if you're sticking with the same provider but if you're switching, you'll need to ask them for your PAC code and give it the new provider within 30 days. It's likely you'll be able to keep your number without hitch, but providers don't guarantee it.
Six essential questions before you buy
- Which providers offer good coverage in my area?
- What size SIM does my device take?
- What level of texts, calls and internet data allowance do I need?
- Do I want a short- or long-term contract?
- Do I want to use my SIM-only plan for tethering?
- Do I need to get my phone unlocked?
Cable.co.uk recommends
So there you have it, all you need to know about SIM-only deals and how to find the right one for you. Once you've jotted down the answers to the six questions above, you can narrow down your options and pick the right plan for your budget, handset type and level of usage.

I am on 3g sim the 1 plan from 6/15 no longer available so why I use for the kids on their tablets So come on 3g we are not happy so we want all tethering and all calls in the one plan 0800 0845
I have heard that there is a company that can supply a roaming SIM for use in Telecare systems (i.e. emergency voice calls for elderly and vulnerable people). can you do similar? How much per month?
I want ONLY pay as you go, not a monthly payment I want to top up as and when I deem it right not tied to a monthly payment. I have a very small usage of my phone.
Fully agree with Ray G. According to EE/Virgin I should have excellent coverage in East Molesey. I have none!
Do not rely upon the coverage checkers! At best they are hopelessly optimistic. Several networks claim I should receive either good or excellent coverage in areas I frequent, including my home. In the later case it is true I do get excellent coverage, in the bedroom. But none at all in the lounge downstairs, despite being able to see the mast from the window.
Totally with you on this one Alan! It's just pure greed!
Why do UK networks have such a problem with Tethering? I am visiting UK for two months and can't find a SIM only, pay-as-you-go plan that includes Tethering, because all the ones I've looked at are only available to residents.
If I buy a mobile plan with a data allowance, why should anyone care whether I use that data on the phone or a Tethered device. Once it's gone, it's gone. In fact, it shouldn't be anyone else's business what I use their data connection for, provided it's paid for and legal.
Come on guys - it's restriction for restriction's sake... Grow up.
Hi, I notice you do not include tesco mobile in your comparison, could you please advise why?

(Patrick D. Rosso/Boston.com/2012)
Mattapan voters came out in droves Tuesday to cast their ballots, with the majority voting to reelect President Barack Obama and send Democrat Elizabeth Warren to the US Senate.
Seventy-four percent of registered voters in Mattapan cast ballots Tuesday, well above the overall citywide turnout of 64 percent.
It was a landslide for the President in Mattapan's precincts, with 98 percent of voters supporting the President, according to preliminary results compiled by the Globe.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney received very little support in Mattapan, with his best showing in Ward 18 Precinct 1, were he received just two percent of the vote.
Senator Elect Elizabeth Warren also saw strong support in Mattapan, taking close to 96 percent of the total vote.
Republican incumbent US Senator Scott Brown saw his best results in Ward 18 Precinct 4, where he received close to four percent of votes.

The trial of a teenager accused of unlawfully killing Worksop man Glen Kitchens continues this week.
The 16-year-old, who can not be named for legal reasons, faces a manslaughter charge relating to events on Saturday 6th April 2013.
Nottingham Crown Court heard last week how Mr Kitchens was killed by a single punch which knocked him to the floor and fractured his skull.
It happened at around 7.20pm on Bridge Street in the town centre after an alleged run-in with a gang of youths.
