buffetbuster Terrific report billyboy, even if it is a little light on pies. Out of pies..... it is enough to make a grown man cry! I very much enjoyed my visit to Big Daddy Sandwiches earlier this year. Since there may be one or two of us (including myself) on here who are old and out of touch, please explain what the t-shirt says. Very much looking forward to more!
billyboy A homemade sign from my personal chewing section - my family. They've been so great coming out to support my races over the years and this nickname goes back many years to the folk song "Billy Boy" that my family has sung to me since I can remember.
billyboy TJ, it's a hot dog (also known as a Coney) made by the Hofmann Hot Dog Company in Syracuse, NY. A Snappy is a pork & veal dog made with egg whites. I enjoy them but I much prefer their German franks. Link: http://store.hofmannhotdo...ey-s-sm-gift-pack.html
easydoesit I meant billyboy! Really! The 'i' and the 'u' are right next to each other, and I keep doing that!

Brian Sims Win as PA's First Out Representative Indicative of National Move Toward LGBT Inclusiveness
The dust has finally begun settling in this year's high stakes election, one that had a historically heavy turnout. 2012 is a year where America has seen economic turmoil, political gridlock, vicious discourse amongst our nation's leaders and a general lack of direction for how to get our country back to where it once was. It is no surprise that turnout was as high as it was.
In a swing state like Pennsylvania, high turnout is essential for victory on the important issues and to ensure the success of desired candidates. Fortunately, this year has hosted a wealth of successes in the LGBT community in the state.
For the first time in PA history, there were four out-gay candidates running for State House of Representatives, including Philadelphia's Brian Sims. While Christopher Dietz, Jeff Dahlander and Kelly McEntee lost to the incumbents in their respective districts, Sims went on to become PA's first out Representative after first defeating incumbent Babette Josephs in the primary earlier this year winning his seat in District 182.
"I'm honored by the support, humbled by all the hard work, and ready to take the Capitol by storm...a Progressive Storm!" Sims said on his win. And while the other hopeful, out candidates did not join him, the change in tide for the LGBT community is palpable in the nominations alone.
On the national stage, the gay community has never been better poised for political success. President Obama was re-elected, and with it came additional inclusive statements pledging his support to gay rights. On the state level, the first instance of marriage equality passing on a popular vote ballot was finally achieved in Maine, Maryland and Washington.
Furthermore, Pennsylvania was not the only place that saw a rise in LGBT political success. Across the nation in a diverse selection of states and offices, gay politicians found themselves not only on the ballot, which is a success in its own right, but also as the winners against strong incumbents.
With seven openly gay candidates winning seats in Congress, the community is finally seeing a shift from the old method of simply advocating for allies in government to handle our rights. With a transition to having strong voices of its own, the gay community is raising the issues on its own. Six candidates won their races for the U.S. House of Representatives, while one of the more notable victories led Tammy Baldwin's win in Wisconsin, making her the first openly gay U.S. Senator.
Considering this leap forward in public response to the LGBT equality movement and the political proponents associated with it nationwide as well as locally, the discourse of elections seem to have finally shifted in the gay community's favor. Much of this can be credited to having openly gay candidates facilitating the discussion.
"It is important we get the message out about LGBT people," Sims noted. "[The fact] that we had an openly lesbian and gay man do well lets people across [Pennsylvania] know that we are here and we are working for our rights and we are working for the commonwealth."
Progress in Rural Pennsylvania Signals Changing Attitudes
Perhaps more noteworthy than an LGBT win in Philadelphia, it was the candidates in the more rural areas that truly brought the conversation to opponents of the equality movement. Christopher Dietz stated that while his platform was far more than simply gay rights, he was pleased to have been able to highlight the issues in a largely resistant part of the state.
"My campaign moved forward conversation in areas that might not usually talk about LGBT issues. I am happy with being able to do that," he said. "[What's important] is giving people the strength to be who they are and help them with their process. It has been a wonderful experience for me all across the board."
While this progress is encouraging, Pennsylvania is a particularly complicated state to live in for the gay community. It is telling that while Sims won in the Blue capital of the state that Dietz and McEntee were not able to achieve the same in their districts deeper into the state. The disparity between voting patterns in PA's rural and urban areas will likely lead to a slew of local victories for the gay community, but not many statewide.
But Ted Martin, the executive director of Equality Pennsylvania, is not discouraged, stating that he looks at this year's wins in the context of the national victories. He believes that the country's increased opinion of the "gay issue" as more of a non-issue will lead to nationwide victory.
"It strengthens our hand," Martin said. "We'll have a better message, a more aggressive message to tell. Think about it, eight years ago, gay marriage or same-sex marriage was used as a wedge issue to divide the country. This year the president, who supports same-sex marriage, won pretty handily. It wasn't even an issue."
As with much of the fight for equality, victories were welcome but did not fully realize the goals of the LGBT community. In Pennsylvania, the uphill battle of the urban areas to move our equality agenda forward against the wish of many of the rural areas will likely be a push and pull over the next decade. But having gay politicians coming forward and openly seeking office is an imperative step to this victory. Despite Dietz and McEntee being defeated, the dialogue opened just by being a candidate in the race cannot be undervalued.
Similarly, Sims' win in Philadelphia signals a monumental change in the tides for LGBT rights in Pennsylvania. Perhaps there won't be instant results, but it looks like Pennsylvania and the country as a whole are on the right track to give the gay community the rights it deserves.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – A new report shows that the nation's worst drought in decades is getting worse again, ending an encouraging five-week run of improving conditions.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report shows that 60.1 percent of the continental U.S. was in some form of drought as of Tuesday. That's up from 58.8 percent the previous week.
The portion of the lower 48 states in extreme or exceptional drought – the two worst classifications – also rose, to 19.04 percent from last week's 18.3 percent.
The stubbornly dry conditions intensified in Kansas, the top U.S. producer of winter wheat. The latest update shows that while 77.5 percent of that state remains in extreme or exceptional drought, the amount of land in the most-dire classification rose nearly 4 percentage points to 34.5 percent.

There's no way in hell that anyone who watched the 96 World Cup can argue that the winning Sri Lankan team was better than this year's one. Its just not possible at all.
And the difference in bowling between this SL team and the 2003 India team is bigger than the gap in batting talent comparatively. Even taking into account how well India bowled for most of the 2003 campaign.

TROY, Ala. – Shane McCain and Matthew Howard combined for a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts as Troy defeated Southeastern Louisiana 3-1 Sunday afternoon at Riddle-Pace Field.
McCain (3-0) went seven innings to start the game for the Trojans and held the Lions to just three hits, while striking out a career-high nine batters without issuing a walk. Howard struck out one and did not allow a hit over the final two innings to pick up his second save of the year. The pair retired the final 16 Southeastern Louisiana batters of the ballgame; SLU entered the game with a top 10 RPI.
Trae Santos drove home the game-winner with a one-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning. Logan Pierce got the frame rolling with a single and Danny Collins drew a walk. Facing southpaw Matt Pittari out of the SLU bullpen, the left-handed hitting Santos hit a line drive off the wall in right field to score Pierce. Kyle Brown followed with a single back up the middle off Dylan Hills to give Troy a 3-1 advantage.
Collins finished 3-for-3 on the afternoon with a pair of doubles; the junior is now batting .511 with six doubles, two triples, five home runs, 23 RBIs and a 1.043 slugging percentage for the year.
Pierce and Josh McDorman both had two hits in four at-bats as the Trojans (11-3) out-hit the Lions (10-5) 12-3 in the game.
Troy looked to blow things open early against Jordan Hymel, who threw a no-hitter in his last outing. Tyler Vaughn led off the game with a triple down the line in left field and Pierce quickly cashed him in with a single back up the middle.
Collins followed with a double down the line in right field and Santos was hit by a pitch to load the bases with nobody out. Brown flied out to mid-range right-center field and Pierce was thrown out at the plate trying to tag up. Hymel got a grounder to short to wiggle out of the jam.
The Lions tied the game in the second on a single back up the middle by Sam Roberson following a double to left-center field by Jameson Fisher. Fisher was the final base runner of the game for SLU with a single in the fourth.
Hymel (1-2) was tagged with the loss for the Lions after he was charged with two runs on 10 hits in 6.1 innings of work.
The victory clinched a 3-0 weekend for the Trojans who defeated Hartford on Friday and Saturday. Troy's three starting pitchers combined to throw 18 innings over the three games and allowed just four runs and 10 hits while striking out 22.
Pierce finished the weekend batting at a .615 clip (8-for-13) with three runs scored and five RBIs. McDorman and Collins were both 4-for-9 and Brown was 5-for-14 in his first action of the season.
The Trojans host UAB on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Riddle-Pace Field before opening Sun Belt Conference play next weekend at home against South Alabama.

REDD+ shared experiences
• Madre de Dios is one of the pilot regions for the implementation of the mechanism on reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD+) in Perú
May 14, 2013, Madre de Dios – Peru. The Amazon region of Madre de Dios continues its process towards consolidating a development model coherent with its unique biological and cultural diversity. In this opportunity, with the support of WWF Indonesia's experts, who visited our country and shared their experiences and lessons learned during the implementation of a similar approach in the Asian country.
Thus, between May 6 and 8 of this year, Arif Data Kusuma, Project leader Kutai Barat Office (Kalimantan Timur) and Kristina Van Dexter, WWF Forest & Climate Initiative; WWF US Environmental Economics Program Policy Department respectively, hold meetings with different regional and local stakeholders involved in the development and implementation of the REDD+ mechanism in Madre de Dios. A region similar to Kutai Barat (Indonesia), in which most of the rural population depends upon the forest goods and services and at the same time, the severe ranching and other inadequate managed activities are contributing towards the rapidly increase of deforestation.
Regarding these shared experiences, Jiang Oliver Liao Torres, from the Regional Management of Natural Resources and Environmental Management of Madre de Dios, said: "this approach to the experience in Indonesia has been quite significant, because it has a regulatory mechanism that provides REDD mechanisms. This allows us to have a sort of government vision for understanding that we can generate development through clean mechanisms and preserve the large forest mass of our region; it is also a good example of adequate forest governance. This sharing has enabled us to raise awareness about the long way to go, as well as the many challenges and problems to solve."
Besides sharing experiences of Indonesia, regarding the implementation of the REDD+ mechanism, the safeguard subject was also addressed through examples in nearby countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, in which national participatory processes were carried out for its construction. With these safeguards, it is expected that the Regional Government of Madre de Dios – GOREMAD builds up indicators, alongside indigenous peoples, farmers, miners, forest rangers, companies and other stakeholders, in order to ensure the environmental and social benefits promoted by REDD+, as well as halting environmental and social damages from such mechanism.
According to Alonso Córdova, from the Forest Carbon Program – WWF Peru Coordinator of Madre de Dios: "Safeguards are based on the idea of equity, however there is too much asymmetry, which means a transnational stakeholder, advised by a entire team, negotiates with someone who only has primary education. The safeguards are trying to solve this issue."
GOREMAD's Social Development Management, advised by the Natural Resources Management, is in charge of leading the advance towards the consolidation of safeguards. Regarding this, Moises Saavedra, Sub-Manager of public participation and indigenous communities, underpinned that "We, as the Regional Government of Madre de Dios, must lead this Committee transparently. On behalf of the Regional Government, we thank to both international representatives of Indonesia and US, who have strengthened and ensured the continuity of the Safeguard Committee."
Beyond REDD+
Madre de Dios is focusing on the implementation of a green economy, i.e., a low-carbon economy. To achieve this, WWF is working alongside regional and local authorities, but also with producers' unions and indigenous peoples' representatives, who in turn are participating through different spaces in the construction of a development model that does not destroy the regional forest heritage.
In this regard, the relevant stakeholders are taking significant steps, such as the creation of a Regional Environmental Authority (ARA – Madre de Dios) of vital importance for strengthening environmental issues and prompting better coordination efforts with environmental policies at national level.
Regarding this creation, Carlos Soria, WWF Senior Policy Specialist, underpinned, "I think it is right that exists a workgroup in the creation of ARA, but we must consider this will have a political and technical function. Besides, we have to consider a budget and the sustainability of the institutional proposal which covers the expenses of the specialized technical staff, resources, services, projects."
The exchange of experiences, as well as the support in the creation of the ARA and other initiatives to strengthen the environmental governance in Madre de Dios, are supported by WWF within the project Framework of REDD People and Nature – RPAN, Living Amazon and SALL Foundation.

Ex-legislator named to state Supreme Court
By The Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK Gov. Mike Beebe has appointed former highway commissioner and current appeals court judge Cliff Hoofman to a seat on the Arkansas Supreme Court.
The governor announced the appointment Wednesday.
Hoofman replaces retiring Justice Robert Brown.
Beebe appointed Hoofman to the Arkansas Court of Appeals in January and his term expires at the end of the year. He'll join the Supreme Court on Jan. 1, and that appointment ends Dec. 31, 2014.
Hoofman served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for eight years before serving in the state Senate for 20 years. He's also worked as director of legislative affairs in the attorney general's office and as city attorney in North Little Rock.

Too bad the AP stopped reading Gov. Beebe's announcement after Hoofman. Another former legislator, Bill Walmsley of Batesville, was appointed to the Court of Appeals effective Jan. 1 to fill the vacancy in District 2, Position 1 due to incumbent Jo Hart's election to the Supreme Court. (Rhonda Wood was elected to District 2, Position 2, the slot Hoofman will vacate when his appointment ends Dec. 31.)

SHERMAN, TX -- Hearing the news from your doctor that you have diabetes may cause worry and concern. That's why Texas Health Presbyterian WNJ is offering a 2-part educational class and nutritional counseling for those newly diagnosed with diabetes.
Director of Education and Professional Development and Patient Care Operations Lenora Hatch, says the classes answer many of the questions patients have after being diagnosed.
"How to take care of yourself on a sick day. How to take care of yourself in a 24 hour period and plan your meals. How to look at medication needs as well as how to use a glucometer," Hatch explained
Right now 26 million Americans are diabetic and of those only around 7% know how to maintain their glucose and cholesterol levels.
With WNJ offering skills to those already struggling with the disease, for the rest of us without diabetes, WNJ Internist Dr. Muhammed Choudhry says the best way to prevent it is with a healthy lifestyle by eating well and doing daily physical activity. But, if diagnosed, there are several things to take into consideration.
"In some cases you can control diabetes by taking pills. In other cases you will need to take insulin. But the most important part of all of this is that if you do get diabetes the best thing is to follow regularly with your physician so that it does not get out of control," said Choudhry.
The two-part educational class is free. There is a small charge for nutritional counseling but WNJ can answer questions about fees, dates and appointment times.

In June KLRU was proud to bring you a live performance of the McCallum Fine Arts Academy's interpretation of Evita. Shortly after appearing on KLRU airwaves the company took the show to Costa Rica.
After what sounds like a whirlwind trip the group is back! M. Scott Tatum, Head of Theatre at McCallum High School, sums up their expedition:
I rarely brag on my own program…but the work these students and parents did to get this $120,000 trip together with 43 students, 5 McCallum adults, 5 performances at the National Auditorium, workshops through the US Embassy, homestays where the students and adults learned Spanish from native speakers, travels across the country visiting beaches and volcanos, zip-lining through the rainforest, and shared the excited and power of our theatrical art of storytelling…..it's simply amazing. There are few programs in the State of Texas that can and will do these type of large scope, grand ambition type events. I hope you take a chance to thank these students and parents who brought and continue to bring state, national and international attention to McCallum High School and Fine Arts Academy, Austin ISD, and the City of Austin. I'm very lucky to have been able to be a part of it.
More coverage of their trip:
The US Embassy posted a blurb about one of the workshops they hosted
News 7 covered the story using clips from the Austin performances, as well explaining their work with Tierra Nuestra, a Costa Rican clean beaches effort
La Nacion (comparable to the NYTimes) ran an article with picture

"One question or subject matter if I were asked here on 30 Days of Blogging Honesty I know I would refuse to answer or definitely lie about is…"
I wouldn't say "lie" per se, but rather just avoid the subject or not answer the question – and those topics would be:
Explicit details regarding my sexual life – it's no one's business.
Real details about whether or not I've done anything illegal. Not say I have or haven't, just that my blog is public and I don't want to say anything that could possibly incriminate me for a future job.
Talk freely about close friends and family while giving away large details of their personal lives. I've mentioned a few names here or there, but I'm not going to go on about where a friend lives or anything. Just not safe.
I would tone down my religious, political and other touchy subject points of view. I've in the past made a few rants about politics, but I won't anymore. I hate reading it when someone starts getting all pushy with their opposing sides of view, and I won't do that to anyone else. Even if I think you're a stupid moron for what you believe in, there's no point in me saying that – this isn't what my blog is about.
I think that's it, just really big stuff. I guess I am a pretty honest person, but I think there are some things about me that should not be shared on this website.
Wow, 30 days have passed, and I can't believe I actually stuck with it. I have been very bad about going around and commenting, but I still intend to go to every participant's blog and catch-up. It's still fun to hear everyone's answer, and I've gotten to know quite a few lovely people in the process.
Thank you for all those that participated, and I look forward to seeing the rest of everyone's answers as well as their dares!

FYI, Pomeroy doesn't want to round up to 100% or down to 0%, hence the bizarrely specific value. (You can safely assume that 99% means "somewhere between 98.5% and 99.4%"). After all, there must be some chance that Binghamton will win. Right?
(Of course, non-DI schools do get listed as 100%, which, oops, sorry, Chaminade vs. Texas et al. But I assume that the reason for that is that he doesn't actually do projections for DI vs. non-DI).
Also -- Eastern has beaten Rochester College, Eastern Illinois, IPFW, UT Pan American, Mad0nna (?!), and... Purdue. Directional Purdue? Somehow they left IUPUI off of their schedule, which is a shame because they could have gone for the directional Purdue sweep. Also, they have another game this season with Siena Heights. Because obviously. (Although, frankly, it's better for Michigan that Eastern play as many non-DI schools as possible, since that way those records don't end up in our RPI formula).

FAMU reopens search for new band director
Source: Tallahassee Democrat, 01/17/13
View Original Article
By Doug Blackburn
One day after abruptly canceling a news conference to name a new band director for the famed Marching 100, Florida A&M University has reopened its search.
Interim President Larry Robinson decided Wednesday that protracted negotiations with Jorim Reid, his choice to lead the university's marching and pep bands, had led him to reopen the search. Reid, a FAMU alum and band director at North Carolina Central University, had been one of four finalists to fill the vacancy created by the departure of longtime director Julian White.
Robinson said he is inclined to look at a new pool of candidates.
"We were unable to reach an agreement, and we strongly feel that it is time to reopen the search to find the right fit for the task at hand," Robinson said in a statement. "Our goal is to continue the tradition that has made the Marching 100 great, but to also ensure that students are able to thrive in the right environment free from outside pressure and influence."
A number of Marching 100 alumni attended Tuesday's canceled news conference, hoping that assistant band director Shelby Chipman, one of the four finalists, would be chosen.
The Marching 100 has been suspended since Nov. 22, 2011, in the aftermath of the hazing death of drum major Robert Champion.
The university is considering the use of a search firm as it reopens the search, according to a release from FAMU.
The other two finalists, who had been on campus in late November for interviews, were Richard Beckford, band director at Blanche Ely High in Pompano Beach, and Gregory Drane, assistant band director at Penn State. Drane, who attended Bethune-Cookman, was the only finalist who is not a former member of the Marching 100.

Good for them, good for us, and good for everyone who values college football.
The conversation concerning Notre Dame has shifted from what it had become in recent years.
Talk about the Irish had started to center on whether this iconic football program ever could be an iconic football program again. They were in the news as much for scandal, controversy, tragedy and failed coaches Bob Davie, Ty Willingham and Charlie Weis.
Universities of thought included that Notre Dame had become a basketball school, the school's academics were too strict to assemble an elite football team, and entire conferences had blown past the Irish.
Then there were these: Get in a dang conference already and, oh, yeah, stop Coach Kelly from screaming at his players on the sideline?
It sounded like Notre Dame, of all schools, was just another premier academic university with a lower football ceiling than in the past.
The Irish hadn't plunged to the level of, say, Tulane, but they were being mentioned in the same sentence as, say, Northwestern.
Notre Dame football had become so unlike Notre Dame football that even the school's critics felt a void.
Now the chatter has changed because Notre Dame is 6-0, ranked fifth nationally and contending for a BCS postseason game.
Are the Irish that good? Will they fall back like the last time they started fast like this? Are they undefeated only because they have shamrocks hanging from their behinds?
No answers are definitive at this point of the season, but at least the debate no longer is whether Notre Dame should drop football and permanently freeze over its stadium for outdoor hockey.
The only thing for sure is that Notre Dame -- merely for now or really for a while -- is relevant again for more than just having home games on NBC.
The Irish are good enough to give the haters a reason to hate them and the Kiss-Me-I'm-Irish contingent the fortitude to publicly hate the haters.
This is terrific for college football because like politics, all college football is local … except for Notre Dame.
Gamblers aside, fans in Arizona don't care about Alabama and fans in Virginia don't care about Oregon.
But pockets everywhere care about Notre Dame. When the Irish are championship nominees, votes are cast in high schools, corner saloons and VFW halls.
Every place has at least some fans interested in whether the Irish are winning or losing and how they're winning or losing.
Notre Dame's latest victory, over Stanford, had radio and TV talk shows buzzing over questionable officiating calls.
If that's an Ohio State-Kansas State game, fans in Ohio and Kansas care. If it's Notre Dame against anybody, every region of America has myriad fans who care.
The conversation is whether the Irish won because of a conspiracy or because God wanted them to win or whether they deserved to win.
Nobody is declaring yet that Brian Kelly is the next in Notre Dame's national championship line of head coaches graced with Rockne, Leahy, Parseghian, Devine and Holtz. But at 6-0 in his third season, Kelly is sure to begin attracting attention.
That's Notre Dame football -- extreme extremes and exaggerated exaggerations.
Fans of this sport should enjoy the rantings of the arrogant and railings of the obnoxious however long Notre Dame makes them last.

Its been a topsy turvy couple of weeks and more weeks with out taking any photos, something I regret really but to be honest I have had little opportunity what with work, being lazy and not taking my camera out and about.
I had some good things happen and as usual some bad things which, well seem to come as part of the package of living in Jakarta.
The rains here have been extreme and even tonight when I rode home quite quickly with no traffic and dry streets. I park the bike in the underground park and by the time I got to Indomart the rain was so thick and heavy that I had to wonder where it came from as there was really no sign it was coming. I got soaked going from the Indomart to the laundry to get my washing and my trousers are still dripping now.
The other night I left work as normal just after 7 and at 8pm I got home. 1 hour to go 9km! and on a motorbike!!! Why? well the roads outside my apartment were flooded so badly that nothing was getting through and there was traffic backing up a long way before, something I should have taken notice of. As it was I got to the firestation opposite the apartments before turning around and going another 4 km to go past Taman Anggrek and home that way.
The rain and storms have been extreme on and off and that has been playing hell with the traffic which needs no help to be bad thats for sure.
However the 10 10 10 was one of the nicest days weather wise I think we have had this year and it was a powder blue sky day all day and swimming under it was great.
Finally got the bike washed after 4 weeks ( I am so lazy to go and sit and watch someone do it) and I must say it looks great when it has been cleaned, maybe I should do it more often. I was however stunned when after waiting for 40 mins, this guy with the whole family in tow arrives. Has one of the bike washers come to see him and then the next thing you know the bike is the next one to get washed. The passing of money was obvious and ok you have to wait but its 8000 to have the bike washed why pay to push ahead for a bike wash? I guess I should not really grumble as I have done that for my SIM, when I get taken to Immigration and a few other places so I am as guilty as the rest but at a bike wash??????????
I guess corruption has to start somewhere and why not at the grass roots of society....
I also finally got my bike serviced. To wash the bike normally takes an hour or longer due to the queue but the I like the wash so I dont mind waiting. For my bike I arrived at the service building or whatever it is called at 9.30 and there were 4 bikes ahead of me. Thankfully I brought a book with me!! At 12 noon I was done. And I dont mind waiting when it cost 30,000 rupiah (£2.50) for a complete service, oil change, brake adjustment, tuning and anything else they do. It goes like a dream again. Soon be January and so I will be able to get it done again. I wonder if by the end of December I will have travelled over 5000km on it.
Bit of a scare this morning, getting to the bike park I could not find the bike. Now at the Apartments, the lower basement is often flooded for some reason and last night was no different. When I say flooded, I mean there was was water everywhere but it was not deep just every where, with no real idea where it came from. Any way, I go and get the bike and it has gone. Sh*t was my first thought, thats all I need. Luckily the bike ticket collector seemed to be awake for a change and he wandered over to me and pointed to my bike. Someone moved it to brush the water away. He mimed that and that is my interpretation of his mime. I would say I was right.
I have a love hate relationship with my apartment at the moment, mainly due to my landlady messing everyone about over money, it affects me as I am the one who is threatened with coming home to the apartment and having no water or electric.
I went and got my utilities bill (water and electric) and to my surprise the bill was even less than last month, mainly due to the fact that the electric meter had not been read, there was no tax and or administration fee. Knowing that you cant escape paying these things where ever you live, I decided to go and get it sorted out. Mainly because if I did not my bill next month would more thank likely be over 600k something I dont need. I could not go Saturday as I had to work all day, Sunday no one works so Monday it was.
I was told by someone to see the cashier so I went to the cashier and produced my bills and started to say something but the cashier was a blur. She had all my bills spread out while she busily typed away on a keyboard. The printer sprang into life and then click click click and stamp stamp stamp all my bills had reciepts and were stamped with 'lunas' (paid) and the she gave them back to me smiling. Which I could understand why, she was ultra efficient. When I pointed out the meter readings, she looked deflated like she had done something wrong and so led me to the service desk. Sadly the girls here were not as efficient and whilst they spoke English could not help me. They understood my meter had not been read but even after 4 phone calls to somewhere could not tell me why and so I had to go back Tuesday. I left dismayed.
Tuesday at the service desk I left dismayed. However the engineering department thought maybe my meter was broken and so they would send a man round to have a look on Wednesday. I said no later than 9am as I wanted to be awkward but that met with a yes or a maybe if we can (almost the same thing).
Today is Wednesday and I woke up early hot and sweaty sadly not through lurid dreams but through a power cut. Great I did not know whether that was due to the engineer or it being a power cut.
At 9am I had a telephone call saying the engineer would be there soon. Great. Then the power came on.
The meter was broken and had not recorded any electricity useage for 2 months. Great. So the apartment has a new one. As for the bill. I dont know. I am none the wiser. I will wait for more information. But then I knew that.
My other source of power is Gas. I have been using the 3kg bottles as they are small cheap and easy to carry and take up little space. So as predicted it ran out while I cooking. I went to the store to get a another and was told that the management of the apartments has banned the bottles due to the real danger that they might explode as they are know to and have all around the country. Great. No gas. I can buy a new 16kg bottle for 700k if I want to have a fried egg or just have take outs and toast. Hmmm, 700k for a gas bottle or take outs and toast, decisions, decisions. Toast and take out it is until January as I have better things to do with my money at the moment.
I shall end on a high which is something new and I am going to Bali for a week the day after I get back here from England, Jet lag aplenty but I want to defrost in Lovina and Kuta before getting stuck back into work. I had been roaming and searching through the local airlines for flights and found cheap flights with Air Asia. 265,000 one way and 465,000 back before tax. For 2 people a top price and so I went to book it. Their website was playing up but I got through all the boxes and taking off the additional added extras (luggage, food, insurance etc) and entered the credit card details and pressed send.
Was my next message. Great so that meant I had to do it all again. So I fired up Chrome and started the process again. The promo flights had gone and everything was going up in price when I got an email saying your credit card has been approved and your seats are booked. Yeay.....
So, just another couple of typical weeks of life in Jakarta. You cant beat real life for real entertainment.

Pier 150 fire investigation continues
Despite an arson incident report, the fire that destroyed the Pier 150 restaurant in Sherrills Ford on Saturday is still being investigated, county fire officials said Wednesday.
A Catawba County Sheriff's Office incident report dated June 18 listed the Pier 150 seafood restaurant as the victim of arson, but Catawba County Fire Marshal Mark Pettit said that is not the case.
"The sheriff's department is not investigating that fire — we are," Pettit said. "Arson has not been named in the case."
Catawba County Sheriff's Office Capt. Joel Fish said his office is asked to file a report when there's a large fire involved, adding that "clicking the arson button" for a fire is the "easiest way" for the deputies to file the incident.
Fish also said that the Pier 150 fire is still being investigated.
Pettit said there's probably an alternative way to handle fire reports in the future to avoid confusion, adding that the fire marshal and sheriff's office work independently of one another.
The State Bureau of Investigation is still helping Catawba County officials investigate the fire that devastated the seafood restaurant, but Pettit said "they do not have boots on the ground" in the area.
It took five departments and about 85 firefighters to put out the blaze that was first reported at 12:31 a.m. Saturday.
The owner of Pier 150, Nikolas Fotinos, purchased the building in April 2010 for about $875,000. Neither Fotinos, his wife Maria nor family members could be contacted as of press time.

Is it still taboo to talk about raw milk? I love it and both eggs and raw milk contain iodine.
2. Sea Vegetables (eat)
Kelp and dulse are both high in iodine and other nutrients. Your thyroid would like you to eat these on a regular basis.
3. Butter (eat)
Butter get's a bad rap, but it's high in vitamin A and iodine… and the thyroid loves both.
4. Coconut Oil (eat)
Polyunsaturated fats from many of our cooking oils can negatively affect the function of the thyroid gland by blocking thyroid hormone secretion, and affects how tissues react to the hormone. Coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride that may benefit the thyroid, but at the very least, it's a healthy replacement for vegetable cooking oils.
5. Cruciferous Vegetables (limit or avoid)
Foods like kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts contain goitrogens. Goitrogens = goitrogenic = goiters. A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid and that can disrupt normal function. It's not that...

String theory should give a well-defined answer to the following question: What is the state of matter in the limit of infinite energy density? We use results obtained from the understanding of black hole entropy to conjecture this equation of state, noting that the maximum entropy state in string theory has vastly more entropy than the states used in traditional approaches to early Universe Cosmology. The evolution of the Universe with this equation of state can be obtained in closed form.

Steam Summer Sale 2013 hinted at as Steam Trading Cards leave beta
Steam Trading Cards will be leaving beta and rolling out to all Steam users on Wednesday, June 26 at 11am PDT, according to Valve themselves. That's 7pm if you're in the UK, clock fans. But what happens after that? Valve are being coy, hinting at an upcoming event that could well be the annual Steam Summer Sale.
Steam Trading Cards are virtual items dropped randomly into your inventory while playing certain Steam games. Unlocking a full set of cards for a given game requires players to trade with other Steam users to acquire cards otherwise unattainable through play. A bit like Pokémon, but with Valve dollars. You get all sorts of prizes and badges and experience points for completing a set, along with a chance to earn discount coupons for the Steam Store.
The announcement can be found on the Steam forum, and signs off with a nod to an upcoming event, claiming that "making trading cards available to all Steam users is a step towards an event we think everyone can be excited about".
Steam's Summer Sales traditionally begin around the end of June and the beginning of July, and tend to introduce some sort of meta-game element to entice customers into emptying their wallets. Tying Trading Cards to the Summer Sale makes a whole lot of sense.
Previous Steam Summer Sale start dates are June 24, 2010, June 30, 2011 and July 12, 2012. With the sale having started on a Thursday for three years running, it wouldn't surprise us to see the event starting this week or next.
God help us.

As a Pats fan, I welcome a true investigation into the SpyGate matter. To me, it's an emotional freeroll for Pats fans... we've wasted countless hours defending against it, so if they are found out to have a significant advantage in games, Pats fans can settle down and join the accusers. I don't like cheaters and I would be among the first to damn Belichick. Laugh all you want, but I have no real allegiance here. If anything, it's become tiring. I'd like to know once and for all what they did, if anything. And if they determined it didn't have any significant advantage, it would deflate Jets fans the world over, who have derived much of their happiness over the past several years over this issue.
Media members have seen these tapes. Scoreboard showing time, down, distance, then the coaches and the ensuing play. If you assume there is more, you're going beyond the scope of the NFL's allegations and constructing your own personal fantasy to fit your worldview. Yankees and Red Sox fans could at least argue over actual baseball play, Jets fans want to take this to the world of "it's not even football" so we're not even discussing actual sports anymore. It used to be fun, it's not anymore. The mentality I see around this board goes beyond sports. It's a pure psychological complex. I see violent tendencies in some posters.

I don't know why Goodell destroyed the tapes, if he actually did, but my first guess is that he was embarrassed by the contents being leaked. My second guess is indeed that there wasn't much on them. Everything I've read and heard about them, including from Goody himself, is that there wasn't much there. The penalty was for the taping, not what was on the tapes.
Now what's this about a conspiracy?
You mean do I really enjoy talking about Spygate? The answer is yes. The problem in this case is that Marshall Faulk is crying about something that doesn't exist, tapes of the Rams pre-SB walk through.
Since I've answered your questions a couple of times, how about answering one for me. Why are the Pats accomplishments under Belichick being labelled as cheating but not those of the Dolphins under Don Shula, considering that two years prior to going 17-0 they were fined money and a first round pick for a rules violation that allowed Shula to land in Miami? I'm curious to hear your response.
PatsFanTx: [From a dark basement] Hey Ma, Ma come see how clever I am...
Mom: That's terrific honey, do you think you could maybe take out the trash?
PatsFanTx: Ma!!!! No!!!! I need to be here in case anyone responds to my cleverness... God!!!
Mom: OK honey, love you... /sighs and takes a huge gulp of vodka
Thank you for the circuitous acknowledgement that the odds were greater that bad stuff was on the tapes and that is the more likely reason goodell destroyed them than your initial comment indicating they were destroyed because nothing was on them
Second thought off top of my head is media coverage then to now is night and day
Third, if I read the statement right you are trying to compare cheating to hire a coach vs. cheating each week to gain a competive advantage ... That is apples and oranges as well ...

Gothenburg senior Logan Koehler will trade his cardinal and white gear for Doane Tiger orange next year.
The 6-7 Koehler signed a letter of intent Friday to attend Doane College and play basketball for the Tigers.
Koehler's size and potential drew the interest of Doane coach Jim Weeks, who secured the signature while he was in Gothenburg.
"When you get a kid 6-6, 6-7, 6-8 that really wants to work hard, those are guys that really are successful in our conference," he said.
Weeks said he sees Koehler in the four spot on the basketball court. The former Swede will likely see jayvee action for the first couple of years as he develops.
"Hopefully by his junior year he can be a big addition and have some impact," Weeks said. "That's the plan."
"If he really gets after it, maybe it can be before that."
Koehler was a team leader for the Swedes for the past two seasons. He topped the 2012-13 team in nearly every category of scoring, rebounds, assists, block and steals.
He finished his career as the No. 8 all-time Swede scorer with 761 points.

At the end of November 2007, IUCN co-organized the "Mangrove Restoration for climate change adaptation and Sustainable Development" workshop in Can Gio district, Ho Chi Minh city in partnership with other local and international partners.
The purpose of the workshop was to strengthen biodiversity protection measures for Can Gio Mangrove Forest and to apply lessons learned to other mangrove forests in Viet Nam.
Over 120 representatives from government ministries, research agencies, and civil society organizations participated in the workshop and discussed theoretical and practical solutions for mangrove restoration in Viet Nam. Following the meeting, participants conducted a site visit to Can Gio Mangrove Forest, which provided a hands-on perspective to the issues discussed during the workshop.
Mangrove forests are valuable ecosystems for environmental protection by playing an important role in disaster prevention and socio-economic development. Mangrove forests along Viet Nam's fragile coastline act to reduce the negative impact of flooding and other harsh weather conditions. These forests also mitigate the negative impacts of climate change, which is predicted to be especially severe for Viet Nam according to climate change specialists. Viet Nam's mangrove forests have been seriously degraded due to intensive socio-economic development and there is an urgent need for restoration.
This workshop also supports the IUCN Asia-wide programme "Mangroves for the Future". The programme targets countries suffering from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami as well as countries within the Asian Indian Ocean Region such as Viet Nam. It is a multi-agency, multi-country initiative aimed for the long-term conservation and sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants and organizers including the Mangrove Ecosystem Restoration Center (MERC), Hanoi National University, Mangrove Restoration Action Organization (ACTMANG) of Japan, and the Management Board of Can Gio Mangrove Protected Forest, expressed firm commitment to support mangrove restoration and pledged to encourage the Government of Viet Nam to enact strong restoration measures.

Issue Type: Improvement Created: 2009-10-23T01:51:41.000+0000 Last Updated: 2013-02-13T17:28:39.000+0000 Status: Closed Fix version(s): Reporter: Cristian Bichis (avantis) Assignee: None Tags: - Zend_Form

Along with missing post-validation filters, which i understand that is postponed for 2.0 there are other kind of filters which are actually missing.
I am mentioning "rendering filters". What i mean by this ? Let's give you a sample:
Let's suppose we have a form with works with mixed kind of numeric values: a) id's or phone numbers or other kind of numbers which doesn't have a localized version, just a normalized version b) amounts (money, quantities, whatever) which have both a localized version and a normalized version.
The mode is going to store of course, the normalized version of the data.
But, the form should rather render the values into localized version, as: 13,454 and not 13456 Of course, before the validation (or after validation with post validation filters which are to come) we can actually filter the input given from the form so we validate and get back the normalized version, instead of localized version.
So, what we are missing now there are filters so we convert the data before rendering into an appropriate format. In my sample, to convert from a normalized version to a localized version.
I don't think there is a "standard" way of doing this now, for values, and we gonna use for now just workarounds, ad make new view helpers, overwrite setDefaults aso.
So please if possible consider if we don't actually need those kind of filters...
Posted by Matthew Weier O'Phinney (matthew) on 2009-10-23T12:13:32.000+0000
Actually, "post rendering" would be considered something for the view layer, and should either be done via view helpers operating on the values directly, or decorators. At this point, there is plenty of infrastructure already for this.
Posted by Matthew Weier O'Phinney (matthew) on 2009-10-23T12:14:30.000+0000
A ton of localization view helpers have been added in the last few releases that address this request already.

I am a bit confused, in my simple sample what view helper should be used from the "ton of localization view helpers" ?
Posted by Matthew Weier O'Phinney (matthew) on 2009-10-26T05:10:49.000+0000
Actually, sorry, I misspoke: there's a ton of localization filters that have been added. Since filters may be invoked trivially from within a view script, there's little reason to add helpers for them:
<pre class="highlight">
<?php echo Zend_Filter::filterStatic($this->someValue, 'NormalizedToLocalized') ?>
The point is that the filters contained in Zend_Form are considered normalization filters -- filters that transform a value to a common format for purpose of data storage and/or validation (the classic example is filtering a phone number for only digits prior to doing a validation on it). Typically you store normalized -- not localized -- data in your data store. Normalization is an activity of the model.
Post-filtering, as requested, has to do with output, and I'd argue that tasks specific to output of a value -- unless they are necessary to form display -- should be relegated to the output layer. Localization is certainly one of these areas, as the localized version of a value will vary between users and requests.
Posted by Cristian Bichis (avantis) on 2009-10-26T05:43:17.000+0000
Thanks Matthew for clarification.
However, i may not explained very good the idea.
I was not talking about post-filtering. I am talking about form rendering filters - necessary to display the form... Not to display the data from the storage layer...
Let's suppose we have this scenario: - I want to creare one form with one select element, the multioptions been possible dates into a localized format - Now, without rendering filters, the dates are rendered on the form with a normalized format now, unless i do some pre-processing after getting the data on the model
Other scenario: - I want to create a form with a input text, with a certain amount, displayed localized (123,456.67) - Since model of course that contains a normalized format, now my only way to display a localized formal (as above) would be to do some pre-processing, or maybe use MySQL localization facilities (which is think is bad idea, because is basically moving the computing for output layer into model!!!)
So, i would argue that: - filtering the data provided to the form is also needed, not just the filtering the data at validation, or after validation (this been proposed for 2.0). - This filtering could be logically done on form, not on controller or model...
Posted by Cristian Bichis (avantis) on 2009-10-26T06:00:34.000+0000
One more case, this approach looks logical i think: - a field into the model has the one date stored as timestamp - i get the record from the model - i populate the form with the record data - at rendering the RENDERING FILTER is transforming the date to a localized format: mm/dd//yyyy or so and it displays into the text field the date into this format - user is making the adjustements to the data (including date) and it saves the form - before validation, we are filtering using some NORMAL (current filters of Zend_Form) filters, let's say for StripTags, Trim, aso - validation is checking that the data is into mm/dd//yyyy format - after validation, the NEW FILTERS PROPOSED FOR 2.0 are changing the data back to timestamp, from mm/dd//yyyy format - the data is saved to the model
So i think is logical that we need 3 types of filters: - rendering filter - pre-validation filter (existing filters) - post-validation filters (proposed for 2.0)
Posted by Thomas Weidner (thomas) on 2010-08-06T08:30:48.000+0000
Filters are filters... for the filter itself there should be no change if it's being used pre-validation or post-validation. It's still the same filter. How it works just depends on the used parameters.
What we need is a way to define when the filter has to be processed.
Posted by Cristian Bichis (avantis) on 2010-08-06T08:38:11.000+0000
Yes, correct.
Just would be nice to have added some ways to run filters at different points into all the Form processing.
Have you found an issue?

New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller is not interested in the franchise tag when his rookie contract expires after this season. The five-year NFL veteran missed seven games this season with hamstring and ankle injuries.
"I don't want to be franchised," Keller told the New York Daily News on Thursday. "You want to make sure that you're going somewhere and you're signing something that was your decision. You don't want to be told that you're doing something for whatever price. You want to make that decision for yourself. You don't want somebody else making it for you. I would love to come back here, but when I came here, I signed a five-year deal and this is the fifth year on it.
"You want to be able to make that decision for yourself. That'd be illegal in another job."
The rules surrounding the franchise tag are a whole other discussion. They're part of the collective bargaining agreement and aren't changing until it's renegotiated.
The 2013 franchise tag for tight ends is tentatively set for $5.962 million. That's probably more than Keller would command as a free agent but without the security of a multiyear deal. He had a career year in 2011 with 65 receptions for 815 yards and five touchdowns. He played in all 64 games his first four years. But he's not on the list with the top tight ends in the NFL.
"My thinking always was that if they want me to, I will play out this deal and sign a new contract (after the season)," Keller said. "That's my word. The whole franchise tag deal is crazy. Somebody played out their contract, but now you can make them come back for another year even if it's not something they want to do? That's not the situation that I'm in right now, but I just think it's crazy.
"I don't feel anything, to be honest. There's been no signs to show me that there's a possibility of me coming back. Nobody's said anything. So we'll see."

That's terrible, at least wait until Brady is in town before calling for an air strike on foxboro.
LOL, Stevie being Stevie!
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson took to Twitter to attempt to make light about a potentially hostile situation.
As a photo of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un surfaced last week with a U.S. map showing potential missile targets,
Johnson suggested another potential destination, the Bills' AFC East rivals, the New England Patriots.
"War is nothing to be played with. I apologize North Korea........but if y'all do bomb 1st... Bomb Foxboro, Mass. Sincerely,#BillsMafia," Johnson tweeted.
In response to fan outrage, Johnson apologized a few hours later.
That's terrible, at least wait until Brady is in town before calling for an air strike on foxboro.
Love it. Might as well take out Belly's Florida house as well while they're at it.
@G17Esiason: The internet is a great place to find all sorts of things....good, bad, funny...whatever...this is certainly a winner http://t.co/DlAiPxGlHN
I'm pissed he didn't say MetLife. Further proof we are now just an afterthought.
That's great
"In response to fan outrage, Johnson apologized a few hours later."
Fan outrage? I bet 95% agree with him.
Twitter + pro athletes = an accident waiting to happen.
Don't see what the big deal is...people need to be able to laugh at themselves. I can understand if he said something like NYC but other than there, clearly a lighthearted joke.
As someone who was injured in the last North Korean attack on American soil, I am deeply outraged by Johnson's joke
1. Johnson is an idiot and a jerk, and Goodell should fine him or suspend him for the Pats games this year.
2. These athletes shouldn't be allowed to use Twitter.
3. I also can't stand it when they showboat in the endzone after a TD.
Now back to the politics forum where I will unveil my latest flat tax budget,

And, in other news, Microsoft has released Windows 95 to rapturous applause.
Is there a difference?
How many people (perhaps apart from malware writers) will really be affected by this disclosure of the source for some 4-year-old software?
Not as much as you imply, seeing that the DOS-based platform and Windows 9x were both abandoned in favor of the NT-based platform (which traces back to OS/2).
>>>The designer of NT came from a VMS background but NT was not based on VMS [or OS/2] code.
FTFY. And Netscape's designers came from their previous creation Mosaic for Amiga, Mac, and PC, but Netscape was not based on Mosaic code. Many moons later the Mozilla Suite spun-off from the never-released Netscape 5, and eventually became Seamonkey, but lo the users were not happy with Seamonkey's bloat, so they split-off the browser half and called it Firefox. And it was good.
Thus spake the book of moz
Not really, the old Navigator was just called the Mozilla suite until Firefox shipped. The Seamokey project is run by a group that still wanted to continue development of the suite, which by the way is now no bigger than today's bloaty Firefox, used the same engine so displays pages exactly as well but offers more features and is an all around SUPERIOR browser. Firefox was good when it was actually smaller but these days is pretty pointless. What the should do is keep the FF name because its well markete
That may be so, but its not the bottom in kernel level stuff anyone is interested in the Windows code base leaking for (well some crackers and other criminals might be) there are plenty of FOSS kernels that are every bit as good on NT to choose from. What's good about Windows is the stack of libraries. Lots of those are present in WIndows 9x and the complete source to Windows 95 even today would be of great use to someone who wanted to support win32 subsystems on top of some other platform.
It would probably be a boon to the WINE project, if nothing else.
Actually MSFT releasing the Win9X source would be WONDERFUL news, because if you haven't tried it Win9X can make a great embedded OS [embeddingwindows.com] with better driver support and lower specs than pretty much any embedded OS out there.
And as for why anyone would care about TFA, that's simple: Often you don't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" and significant portions of the code will be reused. This means the black hats pretty much have a roadmap to use to trash Kaspersky AV. Even if they didn't use much of the previous code it most likely will allow them to see how the Kaspersky AV team treats PC resources like memory, giving them a good idea of where the weak spots are. Bad news for Kaspersky users I'd say.
I'm saying that arbitrary hardware requirements do not have any relation to how well something actually does its job, and the examples you gave are ridiculously off-base for an embedded system in the first place.
As an example, ATMs get new anti-counterfeiting devices all the time (certainly often enough to refer to any particular device as "next-gen"), yet they run old operating systems without significant problems. Sure, there's the occasional virus, but the overall rate of infection is far lower than desk
Also [embeddingwindows.com] industrial control and monitoring, remote instrumentation and telemetry, smart appliances, and research.
An FTP server probably needs a TCP stack, but it likely doesn't need support for laptop power management. On the other hand, a remote monitor might need to run with a backup battery, but communicate over a serial line. Again, embedded systems involve a lot of choices. The field of embedded machines is enormous, and there is certainly no single OS (and especially no single configuration) that will fi
No but it should be running a better OS. No issue at all getting linux into something like that, pretty common in the embedded world already.
It currently runs Debian, stripped down to about 100 megs, and that's with only removing packages. A friend of mine (who is more familiar with the Linux internals) says that figure can easily be cut in half. The spare hard drive I stuck in the box is 2 GB, so I'm not particularly worried. Text recipes don't take that much space.
The first version I set up actually ran Windows 98, because I had originally written my recipe program in Visual Basic. It has since been translated to a language that causes less pa
I had originally written my recipe program in Visual Basic.
It takes a brave man to write a sentence like that on slashdot.
Why is that? We are talking about an embedded OS not some desktop where you could surf with the thing. Most likely you would simply have a VPN connection to the main server to say process CC info for a purchase. And don't forget we are not talking vanilla Win9X but a stripped down version with only enough files/features to run the single app you are using it for.
So I think you and the rest of the guys here are looking at it the wrong way. You can't judge this by running vanilla win9X on the net because th
Still no reason to go adding the risks that come with win9x. Lots of better options available.
It just goes to show you how rabid the blind hate and fanboyism is here on Slashdot. I mean when you point out the entire OS is fitted onto a 16Mb flash and hardwired to ONLY run a single app and connect to a single address and they STILL think it "is a security risk"?
I'd sure as hell hate to have these guys work on anything at any of my SMBs as they are probably the type that thinks you can just slap any Linux or Mac on the net with no firewall or anything because "its not Windows and is safe from viruses"
This means the black hats pretty much have a roadmap to use to trash Kaspersky AV. Even if they didn't use much of the previous code it most likely will allow them to see how the Kaspersky AV team treats PC resources like memory, giving them a good idea of where the weak spots are. Bad news for Kaspersky users I'd say.
The moment you give someone your binary you've given them your code, just in a harder to read format. Any black-hat that cares will merely read the disassembly. Original source code not required.
There's a very limited number of people who can actually read large swathes of disassembled code, though, and I believe the majority of that already small number has more interesting things to do than see what makes another antivirus suite tick.
Well, until Kapersky manages to tick one of them off, that is.
I don't disagree but I think, by the same token, people that can't (or are too lazy to) read the assembly are less likely to have the m4d sk1lls (or attention span) to do something very serious with/to the anti-virus program. But, as you say, once you get into "ticked the general populace off" territory (instead of just "highly-skilled dude working for evil overlord for big$" territory), having the easier-to-read source laying around won't help.
Here's the thing.
The people who write malware already have this code. They might not have the C source, but they've got a good handle on the IO flow and undoubtedly have it in assembly. Is this a game-changer for the malware writers? Not even remotely. Even if this was the source code for the latest version from 2011, it wouldn't change anything.
"They" have access to the exact same software that we have. They can download Avast! or AVG or Kaspersky or MSE and write the malware to be untraceable under those security suites. Hell, if they really wanted it they could find disgruntled employees or cleaning crews and get access to the repositories for cash monies.
Works nowdays anyhow so... i really dont care.
Besides, im on Linux.
The answer is lots of people. Customers of Kaspersky may suddenly discover themselves infected with malware that sidesteps, disables or otherwise interferes with their AV or firewall software. Other people might receive emails offering "free" and apparently legit Kaspersky software which subsequently holds their machine to ransom, or installs a bot. And everyone else w
Code to a 4 year old anti virus app, whats that going to be worth? Kaspersky was great until a few years ago. Then one release made my parents older p4 system near unusable. It went from firefox loading in a few seconds to close to 30 seconds. Forums were filled with the same complaints and no real fixes. I changed to Avast and its been great.
Buy a faster computer just to run anti-virus?
You windows kids make me laugh.
I used to be a big fan of Kaspersky, but their 2010 update is a real piece of junk. A failed update should not cause a corrupted database that it can't rollback from. It also should not give up and force you to manually download updates from their support website.
And yet this exact thing kept happening every few months like clockwork until I gave up and dumped it. When it worked, it worked very well, but dang.
I got hit with something nasty a few years ago, and the first thing it did was disable my CA Antivirus (provided by my ISP) from updating. Lo and behold, there was no way that I could find to manually update CA AV at all. I finally was able to clean the machine using Kaspersky's online virus scanner, and I was sufficently happy with it that I bought the product; I'd be perfectly happy with the occasional manual database download if the alternative was having no way to update the signatures, ever.
Avira is also good. But Kaspersky is even better. You should use it with more modern hardware. Otherwise stick with Avast and all is good.
(emphasis mine)
not according to av-comparatives.org. kaspersky has slipped behind quite a bit while avast and avira are still front-runners.
Sure they can. Quite common to run strings against binaries to see what you get. The busybox folks have sued more than one closed source vendor.
It's a very good start. Brain 1.0 is still the best virus scanner out there.
Still, there are threats that can't be defeated that way. Scenario: Exploit in a major flash application that affects all possible plugins (since they are essentially the same with different interfaces to the browser), an iframe hidden in a webpage on a, say, hotel homepage you happen to visit because you are planning your vacation, infection complete.

I'm not saying get a AV tool. All I say is that there are still vectors you cannot defeat just by being careful. A system's security is the minimum of the user's and the system's ability. Not the average.

I also use Flash Block
You do make a very good point about flash as is your point that nothing is ever full proof. I felt after having done the "right thing" and getting malware, coupled with Mcafee not even allowing me to uninstall it completely, I was sick of the game and decided to try Brain 1.0.
Consider this: the legitimate source's website is hacked, and all its downloads are infected with new malware not yet seen in the wild. This remains unnoticed for several days, during which time the malware has been downloaded by hundreds or even thousands of users. By the time the AV companies get a sample, it's too late for all those downloaders...
Sure these things can happen. But they are very rare. Risk am willing to take over the slow down AV software packages add to my nice clean system
But that's not what an AV is for, despite the industry trying to market it as such. Antivirus software is reactionary. The company has to receive an unknown virus and analyze it before they can put the virus in the next definition file update. And any heuristics module included is typically useless against all but the most basic attacks.
AV is at best a catch-all for uncontrolled or uncontrollable situations. Office computers, shared family home machines, etc. that are subject to illogical users' whims would benefit from AV. But AV cannot stop zero-day exploits, cannot prevent malicious JS, and is completely useless against a determined attacker with physical access to a machine.
Proper computer security addresses each attack vector separately. A properly-configured software firewall will take care of most of the threats though the network. In fact, hiding behind a NAT will take care of 99% of the zero-day threats; whitelisting outbound traffic is just good security practice. Noscript and safe surfing habits will guard against anything coming in through the browser. Obviously, preventing unauthorized physical access to the system requires physical security.
All AV will do is maybe stop that infected autorun from your kid's buddy's flash drive, or delete that exe file you accidentially downloaded from a questionable site you were surfing. But that's what's it's really there for:all the cases you don't really know or expect to have to guard against.
Not recommended.
A bunch of malware nowadays appears on:
1. Hacked Websites
2. Advertising
Its not worth it , truly. Or, your flash drive might get infected from someone (there was a printing bureau which actually had this sort of worm on their pcs - infected tons of people).
So... how much do you trust that flash plugin you got? How about silverlight?
And McAfee is really quite mediocre as AVs go. Avast | AVG | MSSE are all far better.
Well, if your assertion is correct, then wouldn't the 4 year code be worth quite a lot? Seeing as it is a better version before it went downhill?
I know it's never likely to be popular on these message boards, but I've actually been having a good experience with Microsoft Security Essentials on the one machine I've tried it on. I've got other machines with AVG Free and avast! on, and MSE has come across relatively simple and light-weight. I'm told it has reviewed pretty well in AV testing too.
Not that I have any complaints from any of the main free AV programmes I've used, but it's nice to see another decent option in the line up.
Perhaps he has only misplaced his gruntle, and is not fully disgruntled.
it clearly states he was disgruntled. I therefore assume he had his gruntle stolen and that's why he went and stole the code off them. you know, in a "you take my gruntle I'll take your code" kind of way...
I wish them luck recovering it so they don't have to rewrite it from scratch.
(Copyright infringement is not theft.)
Why.....if their source code was stolen then they don't have it anymore. If their source code is gone they will have to rewrite it. Unless they recover it somehow.
Get it yet?
WTS: Sense of humour, stolen from nicholas22. Barely used.
I bet now they wish that software could be multiplied easily. If that was only possible, I'd have this great idea where you could create a copy of your software, then store it somewhere safe in case some thief gets in, empties out your servers and makes it away with that big bag with that huge $$ sign on it.
I'll be rich when this finally becomes possible!
Dammit, I should have patented it before posting here...
Here's another one: Identity theft. Language evolves. Deal with it.
Calling copyright infringement theft is a deliberate attempt to equate infringers with criminals (or the result of having been influenced by same) -- not an accidental evolution of language -- whereas identity theft is, in fact, a crime.
Furthermore, if someone copies your code then at worst you've "lost sales" but at least your program still works. If someone steals your identity, then your identity itself is compromised (in its function as a unique identifier) and your ability to use your identity is redu
The legal and economic definitions of theft indicate the loss of a physical item. If I steal something from a store, that item needs to be replaced. If I infringe your copyright by downloading your music, you've at worst lost a sale. The economic impact is a lot less because you're not actually losing real goods that already have work invested into them.
Is it wrong? Yes.
Does it suck? Yes.
Is it a theft. No.
Here's another one: Identity theft. Language evolves. Deal with it.
Heck no... framing bank fraud as "identity theft" puts the onus on the victim instead of where it properly belongs.
That won't work. The source for Ubuntu has already leaked.
Dammit, now Linux is hellish insecure!
Why didn't anyone inform the community? That's so irresponsible!
You know what?
Ubuntu can get viruses just as easily as other OSes. The Apache servers that control botnets aren't running IIS. Wine is a weak point, and Flash is a cross-platform single-point-of-failure. How many times have you blindly added a repository based on what some random untrusted person on the Internet tells you to do? I know I have.
The only reason that it's not as 0wn3d as Windows is that Windows was easy pickings and has huge market share. Now the bad guys are going to focus on smartphones
Certain people keep saying the only reason there's no such thing as Linux malware is market share.
The fact that applications running on Linux can't alter system files has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Prove it. Release your exploit already.
BTW, Wine is notoriously bad at running malware.
Drop an executable in ~, change ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc to put those directories first, pwned.
Easy to clean, true, but if you're not looking for it, it's not there. Also defeatable by mounting home noexec but how many user installs do that?
That's still not an example of modifying system files. So you're dropping an executable in root then running some code to edit some files so you can run the executable. Isn't there some kind of circular reference problem there?
You can't modify the system files. Notice I said run from ~, not
Arbitrary file write in a browser or plugin or mail client, and you're in, compromise. Granted, just for that user but that's all you need for most personal systems. It's more than good enough for a botnet - you can make connections out and harvest any e-mail addresses / private data from ~.
There's actually an additional hole in *nix that's not present in Windows (or more accurately, Firefox on those systems). You can write a browser plugin
This is mainly because Wine is notoriously bad at running anything.
You seem to be confused about how botnets are currently being controlled.
Hint: It's not through Apache.
"The source code of an older version of 'Kaspersky Internet Security' has been circulated on the internet. The code was created in late 2007 and was probably copied in early 2008. Names contained in the source indicate that the copied code was probably a beta version of the 2008 software package - the current release is Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. According to a Russian language report by CNews (Google translation), the code was copied by a disgruntled ex-employee. The copier has reportedly
Everybody here understands exactly what happened. Nobody cares about the semantics. You have contributed nothing.
I have a lovely stapler at home.
Someone check this out to see the quality of this closed code!
Code quality is often a excuse for commercial software to sell VS OSS, and I am interested on how "higher" the quality of this stuff is.
Why? You have to balance security with usability - in this case the ability to actually do your job - which fundamentally means you have to trust your developers with your source code.
If you're a larger company you can break your code down and only allow people access to the module they're working on, for smaller to mid sized companies that's not such a viable option; people generally work on whatever bit of code needs working on. I doubt Kaspersky actually employees that many developers.

By MIKE ASHMORE
For The Trentonian
TRENTON � In a different world, perhaps, two points could have belonged to the Titans on Sunday afternoon.
But the reality is they didn�t. And Elmira�s 6-3 win over Trenton in front of an announced crowd of 3,953 at the Sun National Bank Center pushed the Titans to the brink of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Just don�t mention that to head coach Vince Williams, who was as visibly frustrated after the game as he has been all season.
�We still (have to) coach and we still teach. There�s a lot to play for, and if you�ve ever played the game, you would know that. There�s a lot to play for,� he said.
�Take your pick; integrity, pride, jobs for next year, potential call-ups. But until we�re mathematically eliminated, then we�ll talk about stuff like that. But we�re not. Until that happens, then we�ll talk about that.�
So let�s focus on something else, shall we? Five of the six Jackals goals came from players who, conceivably, could have been wearing a Titans sweater. Andrew Rowe tallied the first two Elmira goals of the evening just 2:31 apart in the first period after Trenton�s Andrew Johnston had put the Jackals in a 1-0 hole.
Rowe, a former Flyers prospect, likely would have been playing for the Titans this season had Philadelphia re-signed him. But now on an ECHL-only deal � much like how things unfolded for Trenton captain Andy Bohmbach between last year and this year � Rowe was free to sign with whomever he chose, and will likely be participating in the Kelly Cup Playoffs this season, barring a Jackals meltdown.
Jordan Pietrus will join him, although his circumstances are a little different when it comes to Trenton. Pietrus was an original member of the re-birth of the Titans, but lasted just six games before being released outright on November 9, 2011 in order to, ironically enough, make room for Bohmbach. He tallied just one point in his brief stay with Trenton, but potted the Jackals� fourth and fifth goals on the night after Benjamin Dieude-Fauvel snapped a shot over Titans goalie Cal Heeter�s glove from the left circle early in the second period. Pietrus has now posted 89 points in 114 games for the Jackals, production that Trenton surely could have used on Sunday.
Instead, things simply got away from them once again, a reminder that a late-season run doesn�t erase a season full of disappointment that ends with missing the playoffs once again.
�Everything that they got, we gave them,� said Williams about the game�s result.
�Turnovers, a couple plays that just were not very smart plays. That�s what happens when you don�t make hard plays against a team that plays hard.�
While Williams stressed that the focus now turns to Wednesday�s trip to Elmira, in which a loss would ensure the Trenton hockey franchise misses the postseason for a whopping fourth straight season, some players have accepted the fact that their year -- and for many of them, their time with the Titans -- will end in two weeks.
�I mean, it�s frustrating, but at the same time you have to go in and have an open mind,� said Trenton forward Stephen Schultz, who scored his 27th goal of the season.
�We just have to go out and play. For some guys, it�s an opportunity. There�s always people watching. We want to go out, we want to play, we want to win. That�s the mentality of any athlete out there, if you ask them if they like losing, everyone�s going to say no. We have a good group of guys in there, and I think if we get our things together and we finish the season strong, it�ll be fun for us. And it�ll put everyone on the map, everyone gets looked at around here. So we might as well had go out there, have fun, play hard and play for each other.�
Rob Bellamy, another former Flyers farmhand, scored an empty-net goal with just 1:37 left to play to seal the victory for Elmira.

LOS ANGELES — There's no mistaken the sound of a Carlos Gonzalez home run. The crack of the bat is more like an explosion, resulting in the ball taking a majestic flight path.
But that bat has been silent for quite a while. CarGo hasn't hit a home run since April 11 in San Francisco and he hasn't had a multiple-hit game since April 9 when he had three hits against the White Sox at Coors Field. His average was .389 at that point; it sits at .247 as he heads into Saturday night's game against the Dodgers.
