The government screwed them over and cut them off before the colony could be stabilized.
They government claimed they all died and basically banished them to die.
Martians had to stabilize their colony on their own and life sucked. They got through it but a ton of people died. But during all of this necessity became the mother of invention and their technology started to kick ass. They were really pissed off and decided to go back to Earth with all the new gadgets they invented to survive Mars.
As for super pilot... anti-newtype. He can't read other pilots or magically foretell their movements but no one can read his. His power is forcing x-rounders to rely on their pure skills. It's already established Asemu is a naturally gifted mecha pilot.
Whoa... Woolf bit it. I knew someone was going to bite it...when Remi accepted the marriage proposal.

Someone has quite good insight about how Asemu kicking Desil's ass in this ep, and could put in better words than me, so I guess I should borrow his post for what I want to say.

Why did they have to kill my favorite character. Nice finally seeing Desil get taken out. Interesting that he could control other ms though. Obright might be the next one to go too bad if he does since he finally got the answer he was waiting for.

That still doesn't mean that the Earth belong to them since it's the Earth Federation.
And it still doesn't excuse them for attacking and massacring civilians at will. This was the point that both Flint and Grodeck brought up when they found out the truth about the Vagans. The Vagan simply pointed out that all of them were responsible regardless anyways.
And so far all of the Federation's strategy has been to defend itself simply because they cannot send an expedition to Mars. This is why as Flint pointed out the EF has been trying to resolve the situation diplomatically.
That's the only way the Federation can survive. Weather enough assaults and beat the Vagans in a decisive battle to bring them to the table.

Asemu fullify the role i always think for him... being the Anti-Kamille. How? Simple, he start as the completed opposite of Kamille(Having a Happy Family and Positive background plus a perfect regular life until the change with the gundam) and unlike Kamille who finnaly find his reason to live & fight in the gundam and them his potential as newtype(aka Jedi), Asemu was the opposite, he start with some fixec goals but become more frustrated how he faced the world and them he fell is past was like a lie(that happen a lot, Zehart Betrayal only add salt to the injure), but now besides being with a special super human skill(aka the Force or Newtype powers), he finally catch by himself the new way to fight & life.
Thus was a Homage and a critique of how was the history of Z gundam... the so Called 'magnum Opus' of the franchise... that was trully interesting,
How that Kio time comes and the threath of a Colony Drop is near... the thing will be interesting for Gundam AGE... at lest have the 52 or 42 episodes to wrap all perfectly.

In some way, I can see shades of episode 14 in here, and it's not the death of a loved secondary character that makes me see the similarities, or even Desil's involvement in both events, though that plays a part I guess. No, this episode resembles 14 in how both out protagonists ended up facing an event that blew through all doubts in their mind and set them through for the rest of their life, for better or for worse, how the audio quality in general was upped to higher levels, and how the tone of the conflict had gotten much serious than ever before.
Starting off with how history keeps on repeating itself. Before losing Yurin, Flit had enough evidence to figure out that the UE might in fact be piloted by other human beings, and even with the loss of those close to him (Bruzer, his mother) and who fought beside him (Don Boyag) his mind was still in doubt over whether or not he was fighting monsters. It didn't matter, since he had already decided to fight the faction that had killed his friends and family and had no plans of stopping, but the moment Yurin died, Flit justification that the UE were monsters went from being a shaky reasoning into a hard fact in his mind. Like wise, Asem's doubt's, low self esteem and good nature that makes him unfit to be a soldier ended up taking a back seat once Wolf based on him his last request to become the best pilot in the universe (which is something I forgot about, Wolf used to be a pro-MS racer) which again, isn't really the best thing that Asem could do (as we had seen before, he's the sort of man who would help his enemy) but it's the task he's been entrusted with, and he's going to do it. He had lost one of the people who had stood by him and supported him in thick and thin (the other being Arisa) and he's going to make sure he's going to live up to what Wolf expected of him.
Yurin and Wolf's deaths ended up cementing the road that Flit had taken and now Asem will have to take. There can be no going back now, even if it's not the healthiest road to be taken, it's the only one that can quench their grief.
(In any case, I ended up feeling like Asem was getting back to the same kid I had grown to like back in episodes 16 to 18. The same good kid with a heart of gold that would stand up for anyone no matter what. Guess all that positive reinforcement had payed off in the end)
The audio has again risen a few notch, with us getting more great music when the DB slices apart Desil, and Wolf's death scene was well composed as well. Though of course the main thing is that Daisuke Ono (who I now grief we will no longer get to her his awesome voice any longer ) has managed to do the same Saori-san had done, make the death of the character emotionally moving, even if we had all seen it coming. Tip of my hat to Kazuhiko Inoue, who while might be criticized as making Flit sound too emotionless, I have never felt personally, but on the contrary had always given him a voice of authority and managed to get across the feeling of a caring but strict father, and in this episode, a man who had a suffered a deep loss but was still keeping himself together. Also, Takuya Eguchi as Asem is official my favorite role he had done. Hard work pays off in more than one level in this show.
The final thing is of course the tone of the conflict. This is no longer like the battles before in this generation, where things were more flexible for both sides. This is a complete zero sum game, where Zeheart is going to put aside his own feelings for his friend in order to realize what he vowed to do, even at the expense of his own life. He isn't about to allow anyone or anything get in his way, and insubordination is no longer acceptable. Things might have seemed grim early on with this generation, but now they are officially cut throat.
Seems like the blood feud between the Galette and the Asuno's is going to come to a close soon.
Other things:-
- Rita is dying? Poor Lord Metal Zedd
-Wow, Max is finally getting in touch with his inner Uso and kicking some serious ass on the battle field.
-I don't like how Arisa doesn't seem to be getting that much screen time any longer :T
-The hint that the Saber-Bridge Bunny might be the spy might have been just a read hearing, since the person now suspect of being the mole is again Flit's assistant.
-Sorry, but the staff aren't even trying to show Millies design as 50 years old. She looks the same as she was 27 years ago. Pure laziness :/ (That, or the medical benefits for fleet commanders are so good, they even include plastic surgery for women)
-In a lot of ways, the contrast between how the Asuno and the Galette treat each other can be really revealing. Zeheart sent his brother to his death for disobeying his orders, though he didn't seem to be out of hate, but out of the realization that Desil was simply a loose canon. That is something Flit will never do to his son, no matter how much he had went against military procedure before. Hell, in a lot of ways, Desil is what Asem might have become had he allowed himself to be taken in with the all the self loathing.
-Guess at the end of the day, even if the two weren't related, Wolf and Zeheart ended up with the same realization about Asem. He really is one amazing kid.
As a side not, I can't help but wonder if the point of making Romary and Asem relationship get to the point where they are no longer talking to each other was in order to make the timeline fit with Kio being 13 at AG 165 (so he would've been conceived when they were 28, ten years after the end of the 2nd Generation, so they needed to make sure they wouldn't get together as early as Flit and Emily did at 21) because I'm honestly scratching my head at why else would this decided to show it being this damaged and bad at the finale stretch of the second chapter
I mean, I get that we had Emily not being the fan favorite back with the first generation, but say what you will about the chemistry between her and Flit, at the end of it, they never got to the point where the last we seen of them was Flit ignoring and avoiding eye contact with her. It never got that bad on screen.
This could be premature worrying, but now that we have confirmation that we only have two more episodes till the end of the second generation, I'm left wondering how exactly they can sell the idea that Romary will get together with Asem without making it feel forced.

So this episode should hopefully make the people that complain about newtype hax in Gundam very pleased. Woolf fans not so much. If I had to wager a guess the only surviving members of the Woolf team after this battle will be Asemu and Arisa.

I don't know man, Max had been leveling up and Obright is going to get married. I think that they will all pull through.
The whole hard work trumps over super powered N-types had been pretty awesome, to be quite frank, though I wasn't that concerned about the powerlevels in Gundam to start with.

As for power levels in Gundam, you'd be surprised just how much some fans care about this sort of thing. For some I know firsthand it's pretty much the be all end all deciding factor on whether a Gundam series is good or not.

The current state income tax is scheduled to be reduced at the end of this year � not eliminated, only reduced. We are now being told that eliminating this tax increase will be a disaster.
Remember how it all began. Under a cloak of secrecy, behind closed doors, one party gave us this tax increase, to tame our budget deficits. Years later, nothing has improved. Things are actually worse, and the hand-wringing already has begun. Now we must keep the tax �for the kids.�
One party has painted us into this corner, and the answer should now be obvious. No tax increase will ever be enough to save Illinois. The party in charge must be replaced. That is where find ourselves.
Unless we change our state�s governing party we will never fix this mess.

"Valentine," a duet with Springsteen, "Secrets in the Street," and the live acoustic version of "Black Books" on the Sopranos 2 soundtrack are perfect examples.

52 Weeks: NW Sausage and Deli, Centralia, WA
Week 17 of 52
5945 Prather Rd
Centralia, WA 98531
Rank: 4/5
Type of Establishment: Country Style Deli with Brew Pub and Butcher Shop tendencies.
BEERS ON TAP (at time of visit) —>
All of the following are from Dick's Brewing
-Golden Ale
-Pale Ale
-Irish Ale
-Best Bitter
-Brown Ale
-Danger Ale
-Cream Stout
-Winter Ale
-Imperial IPA
BOTTLE OPTIONS: Almost all regularly bottled Dick's beers.
FOOD OPTIONS: Meat.
Both cold and hot sandwiches of many varieties including hoagies, pastrami, corned beef, prime rib, BBQ pork, burgers, brats, etc. Steaks and chicken for dinner. Need protein? Best vitamin shop in Centralia.
How have I never been here before? Seriously. All, and I mean all of my future trips south will include a stop at NWS&D. If you are going to Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR or anywhere somewhat significantly south of Seattle along I5, you'd have to be either in one serious rush or legitimately brain-damaged not to stop here.
Sound a bit hyperbolic? It isn't. We are talking about a detour of about 5 miles at most. 10 driving minutes, tops. A very, very small price to pay for great beer and food. And talk about getting your goods right from the source. All sausages are smoked right on the premises. All beers are made practically right down the street. And it's all mind blowingly yummy!
Believe it or not, it gets better. I give the staff an A+. Since this was a stop on the way to camping at Seaquest State Park, we thought we would have the whole group in tow (13 people). This could have been overwhelming to any establishment, so we called in a warning of our arrival ahead of time. Upon arrival, we found a huge grouping of tables that was marked "reserved" for us. In the end, we were only 6 strong. The rest of the group was impatient and found lunch in Olympia (dummies). Was this a problem? Of course not. The staff simply laughed it off and served us with a smile.
I guess it didn't hurt that we had explained to the receiver of our call that we had a $100 gift certificate and planned to spend it all on lunch and meats to go. A big thanks to friend of the Blotter, Stasia Cymes, for providing said gift certificate and her generosity in sharing it. Lunch for all was covered, with change to stare for even more meat and cheese to go. In fact, to trace it back just a bit further, a large thank you is due to Brian from Ninkasi who unselfishly passed his winnings of the Brewer's 9 Ball Tournament at the Tap House Grille along to Stasia. Brian felt bad taking the winnings of his own event and figured that Stasia was a worthy recipient, considering that her team was knocked out of the tournament before she even had a chance to play. Thanks Brian and Ninkasi! Awesome event too by the way.
Not only was the tap selection lengthy and impressive, but any bottle could be purchased and opened at the table at no additional charge. This allowed for all of our extreme beer pleasures to be indulged simultaneously. We ordered the Imperial IPA off the draught, the Tripel, the Grand Cru, and the Imperial Stout all at once. Others at the table enjoyed the Bitter, Cream Stout, Danger, Winter…lets just say that we had some good liquids to accompany our lunch. All brews were solid, some inspired "Oh my God!".
Lunch was sandwich heavy, something that will never bother me. My Trio Deluxe was stacked so high that it easily garnered "Scooby Doo Sandwich" status, yet another thing that will never bother me. I don't really remember what the others at the table had. I was too transfixed on my own happiness in the moment. Good beer, good food, good service, and most importantly, good company.
Though all appetites were surely fulfilled at meal's end, no one was leaving without some meat to go. After all, there would soon be a camp fire to cook on. Pepperoni, andouille, jerky, BBQ pork, garlic franks, and various cheeses were all acquired. Lest we forget, beer was procured as well. We were fully and completely covered for camping. We made tents out of the empty beer bottles and sleeping bags out of the sausage casings (no we didn't). It was an amazing!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: UH announces young alumni season ticket plans
Published 2:32 pm, Thursday, April 24, 2014
HOUSTON - Houston Athletics announced Wednesday its Young Alumni sections in the new Houston Football Stadium in addition to its Young Alumni donor program. University of Houston graduates from within the last five years (2010-14) will have the ability to purchase season tickets in special Young Alumni sections for as low as $125.
"Young alums are extremely important to our present and future success and we want to reward them for their loyalty to the Cougars," said Houston's Senior Associate AD for External Relations Jeramiah Dickey. "Our goal is to continue the electric atmosphere they provided as students. We cannot thank them enough for their continued support."
Young Alumni will be given two options for seating inside the Houston Football Stadium. The Young Alumni lower section will be located in section 117 and priced at $175 ($150 ticket/$25 Cougar Pride donation). The Young Alumni upper sections will be located in sections 234 and 333-335 and priced at $125 ($100 ticket/$25 Cougar Pride donation).
"We cannot wait to see our young alumni back on campus to support the Coogs. We are extremely excited for the future of our great campus and alumni base as we introduce our new stadium," said University of Houston Student Body President Charles Haston.
Young Alumni Page | Football Season Tickets | 2014 Schedule
The Young Alumni Program offers recent graduates within the last five years an opportunity to receive Cougar Pride benefits, network with established alumni, and most importantly, make a change. They have the chance to obtain Cougar Pride points at all donor levels at a reduced rate and sit in specific Young Alumni sections at the Houston Football Stadium. This allows Young Alumni the chance to attend athletic luncheons, meet coaches and student-athletes, as well as attend alumni networking events.
"It is extremely important for young alumni to be engaged especially as we open our new stadium this August," said Immediate Past University of Houston Student Body President Cedric K. Bandoh. "This season ticket package gives you that opportunity and provides a lot of value. I strongly encourage all young alums to purchase their package today and let's go support our Coogs on to victory!"
Young Alumni will receive a multiplier of four times their donations in regards to Cougar Pride giving levels for the first five years after graduation.
If a Young Alumni member wanted to be at the All-American Club ($1,000 level), they would only need to make a full donation of $250 (normally Varsity Club level). [$250 donation x Multiplier of four = $1,000 credit]
To see a breakdown of each Donor Level and the benefits Young Alumni will receive, please click here. Young Alumni can place deposits for season tickets here.
Houston fans can guarantee a place in history by purchasing season tickets for the first ever season in the new Houston Football Stadium. General admission season tickets are currently on sale for just $140 as are Memorial Hermann Family Plan four-pack season tickets for just $299.
For those interested in purchasing 2014 reserved season tickets, fans may place a $200 season ticket deposit at UHCougars.com that will give access to participate in a 24-hour Select-A-Seat process in May. The $200 deposit is not a fee and will go towards the cost of season tickets. Lower level reserved season tickets begin at just $200.
Houston opens the 2014 season at 8 p.m., Friday, Aug. 29, when it hosts UTSA in the first ever game in the Houston Football Stadium.

Scott by any means please post your kernel modules, as I was able to produce modules that allow me to mount an nfs export, but when I try to do any operation over them this mount gets stuck. And if you can, please include your .config with the modules.
--Yvasilev 19:23, 18 Aug 2005 (CEST)
Just downloaded European 2.00 firmware. Extracted, added Dropbear and NFS like described in this Wiki. The ~var symlink was not overwritten when extracted using the same tar command as suggested for Dropbear. Still, one could always extract with -w as well, do not extract the /var stuff, but extract it to another folder later on and move it manually. Re-compressed, installed new firmware. File system still there without problems. Only remaining problem:
- admin@TERASTATION:/etc$ /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
- /etc/init.d/nfs-common: modprobe: command not found
- Starting NFS common utilities: statd/etc/init.d/nfs-common: start-stop-daemon: command not found
Therefore on client side:
- [root@linuxbox ~]# mount 192.168.13.8:/mnt/array1 /mnt/terabackup/
- mount to NFS server '192.168.13.8' failed.
Two additional comments:
- after extracting the NFS stuff, etc/exports needs to be edited. The default exports only to 192.168.1.1, but you probably want to adjust it to export to either your box (change IP there) or your whole network (/mnt/array1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash) or similar).
- You need to edit linkstation_version.txt to show a newer version number, otherwise you won't be able to upgrade.
I tried this twice. After the first time, I had to reinitialize the drives in order to restore the file system so that I could boot. This, the second time, I poked around the file system a little more and realized untarring it, using tar xvzf all-nfsd.tar.gz, overwrote my /var directory. It was overwritten because I *think* it was a symlink to /mnt/ram/var [http:/ls-lR/1.04/ file list]. I can't be certain because I'm running 1.12, but recreating the link seems better - I see the expected stuff in /var (e.g. /var/log/messages). I have no idea if the file system is normal because I haven't rebooted.
Anyone have any input? Is there a way for tar not to clobber that link?
I started up the portmapper and nfs, but I can't mount:
[root@mymachine ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/terastation/array1 [root@mymachine ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.11.150:/mnt/array1 /mnt/terastation/array1 Segmentation fault
- nmap shows nfs and rpcbind are up.
- mymachine, running Fedora Core 4, nfs mounts stuff from an NSLU2 running Unslung 5.5 w/o issues.
- showmount -e 192.168.11.150 shows the export
Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can try? TIA
--Bluefedora 14:40, 27 Nov 2005 (CET)
One issue is that /var/lib/nfs/rmtab is a directory instead of a file. If you look in the syslog, you will see a message like:
Feb 11 20:21:01 terastation rpc.mountd: could not open /var/lib/nfs/rmtab for locking
Unfortunately, this does not fix the problem. even after a reboot, mount request still segfault.
However, now it appears to work by examining the terastation syslog:
Feb 11 22:29:55 terastation rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from client:616 for /mnt/array1 (/mnt/array1)
There are no other errors. This makes me wonder if there is a compatibility issue with the NFS version on my FC4 box and the one installed from sf.net.???

Dead Terastation
In my over zealous hacking attempts, I have managed to kill the code in my flash. Is there a way to restore the flash code?
- The TeraStation has a JTAG interface. It's part of the regular PowerPC debugging interface CN11. This 16pin interface is quite common for embedded PowerPCs, but I've forgotten it's name and don't have any useable links.
- Unfortunately we don't have any JTAG-borderscan information, and without you will not be able to use the JTAG interface.
- Sorry, but it looks like you're hossed. How did you destroy your flash anyway?

A Border Patrol agent was shot to death Tuesday in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation.
The agent and a colleague were on patrol in the desert near Naco, Ariz., about 100 miles from Tucson, when shooting broke out shortly before 2 a.m., the Border Patrol said. The second agent was shot in the ankle and buttocks, and was airlifted to a hospital.
Authorities have not identified the agents, nor did they say whether any weapons were seized at the site of the shooting.
The last Border Patrol agent fatally shot on duty was Brian Terry, who died in a shootout with bandits near the border in December 2010. The Border Patrol station in Naco, where the two agents shot Tuesday were stationed, was recently named after Terry.
Terry's shooting was later linked to the government's Fast and Furious gun-smuggling operation, which allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.
Authorities intended to track the guns into Mexico. Two rifles found at the scene of Terry's shooting were bought by a member of the gun-smuggling ring being investigated.
Critics of the operation say any shooting along the border now will raise the specter those illegal weapons are still being used in border violence.
"There's no way to know at this point how the agent was killed, but because of Operation Fast and Furious, we'll wonder for years if the guns used in any killing along the border were part of an ill-advised gun-walking strategy," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a written statement.
The FBI, which also is investigating the shooting, declined to say whether investigators have recovered guns or bullet casings at the scene of the shooting.
The U.S. government has put thousands of sensors along the border that, when tripped, alert dispatchers that they should send agents to a given area.
The shooting occurred after an alarm was triggered on one of the many sensors along the border and the three agents went to investigate, said Cochise County Sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas. It is not known whether the agents returned fire, Capas said.
The agents who were shot were on patrol with a third agent, who was not harmed, according to George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a union representing about 17,000 border patrol agents. The wounded agent was in surgery and expected to recover, McCubbin said.
Twenty-six Border Patrol agents have died in the line of duty since 2002.

Brown Wins Sacramento EnduroCross
Sacramento, CA – Mike Brown kept his streak going at round two of the 2013 GEICO AMA EnduroCross series, fueled by Monster Energy and presented by Lucas Oil inside the Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California. The FMF KTM rider had a nearly perfect day by setting the fastest time during the daytime hot laps, winning his heat race and finishing a close second in the night time hot laps before leading every lap of the main event. "I have started the season really well but there is still a long ways to go for the championship" Brown said. "But this is like getting the holeshot on the season".
Monster Kawasaki's Taylor Robert was a very close second in the main event and kept the pressure on for the entire main event. He ate a lot of roost off of Brown's rear wheel and eventually had to remove his goggles. "I just could not see because Brown was roosting me every lap when we exited the water hole."
The battle for third was intense as RPM KTM's Kyle Redmond held the spot for several laps before giving way to Husqvarna's Cory Graffunder. Then Graffunder came under intense pressure from Taddy Blazusiak and Colton Haaker, who had both moved through the pack after going down on the start. Haaker passed Blazusiak and made a last lap pass attempt on Graffunder and went down in the firewood pit. Graffunder held the final podium spot, Blazusiak passed the downed Haaker for fourth and Haaker recovered for fifth.
Sacramento, California GEICO AMA EnduroCross, fueled by Monster Energy Expert Main Event results:
- Mike Brown KTM
- Taylor Robert Kawasaki

- Colton Haaker Honda
- Kyle Redmond KTM
- Gary Sutherlin Kawasaki
- Justin Soule Kawasaki
- Max Gerston Beta
- Eric Rhoten Beta
- Jacob Argubright TM
- Ryan Sandoval KTM
- Ricky Dietrich Honda
Brown now has a perfect 50 points to hold the GEICO AMA EnduroCross series lead ahead of Blazusiak with 40 and Robert is third with 37.
The night also included several amateur classes and Dirt Rider Magazine's Adam Booth took the Vet class win ahead of Stephen Foord and Jason Gitchel. Justin Morgan won the Open Amateur class and was followed by Steven Godman and Kale Elworthy. The TrialsCross class was won by fourteen year old Ty Cullins, who was followed by Michael Salsman and Nathan Brown.
The Women's main event was intense and sixteen year old Lexi Pechout took her first ever EnduroCross win. She was followed closely by fellow Canadian, Chantelle Bykerk. Rachel Gutish led all but the last lap before getting stuck in the firewood pit and dropping back to third.
The GEICO AMA EnduroCross series will take a summer break and resume action on Saturday, September 21st at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. In the meantime, most of the top Expert and Female riders will compete in the two X Games events taking place during the break. The first of those will be held in Munich Germany in less than three weeks on June 30th followed by X Games Los Angeles on August 4th.For more information, please visit www.EnduroCross.com

MARTINEZ, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University women's soccer team (6-1-1, 0-1 PBC) brought home the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Defensive Player and Goalkeeper of the Week, the conference office announced today (Sept. 30). Sophomore Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) won goalkeeper honors, while junior Kara Teresi (Tampa, Fla.) brought home the defensive player trophy.
Not a single shot got past Plunkett this week, as she helped the squad post three shutouts. She came out of two of the three games because of blowouts (6-0 and 5-0), but played the full 90 minutes against Mars Hill Friday, a 3-0 win. She posted three saves against Erskine, three against Mars Hill and one against North Alabama. She leads the league in GAA with 0.27 and has yet to give up a goal in home games. This is Plunkett's second PBC Goalkeeper of the Week selection.
Teresi co-anchored the middle of a defensive line that posted three shutouts this week. The team had a 75-14 shot disparity over the three games, with just eight of those 14 shots reaching Bobcat goalkeepers. On Sunday, Teresi helped shut down a prolific goal scorer in Tassia Augusto from North Alabama. She entered the game with 14 goals on the season (averaging 1.5 goals per game), including a five-goal contest, but against the Bobcat defense she mustered just one shot. Teresi's defensive line has yet to allow a goal at home this season. Teresi is the third Bobcat to win defensive player of the week this year.
The Bobcats return to action tomorrow, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. hosting Lander University.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Follow the Bobcats and their positive impact on the Milledgeville community at www.gcsu.edu/bobcats.

When the bell tolls in Tyria, that normally means the Mad King Thorn is about to make his annual visit to Guild Wars 2. But unlike last year, the insane monarch isn't making the trip. This year, players will be haunted by his equally-unpleasant offspring named Bloody Prince Edrick, as part of the Blood and Madness update.
The Blood and Madness update will see the return of the Mad King's Labyrinth, filled with undead creatures controlled by the Bloody Prince. New bosses will include the Skeletal Lich, the Grand High Viscount of Candy Corn (who's attitude is as bad as his taste), and the Labyrinthine Horror. The Mad King's Clocktower will also return from last year, bringing its popular jumping puzzles along with it.
On top of the normal balance updates, this update will also kick off Guild Wars 2's inaugural World versus World season, in which the regions are split into leagues to compete against one another until December 5.
The Blood and Madness update kicks off on Tuesday, October 15. Check out the trailer below for a taste of this year's Halloween festivities.

What are you talking about? The guy bought books for his Kindle. He *bought* them. Say what you will about, "No, this is licensing," but check Amazon's website and there's a button that says, "Buy now with 1-click". *Buy*.
Yes, he *bought* the licenses. What is it with you slashdotters? You actually expect to receive tangible goods in exchange for your hard earned dollars? That just doesn't make any sense.
On a related note, many of you are unaware that I am the owner of all paper money, and I've just granted all of you the license to use it. The next person to demand an actual good will have their money license revoked and will have to return all cash to me. Thank you.

Brenden Morrow added his first playoff goal in more than five years, Tomas Vokoun made 19 saves and the Penguins rode their superstar captain to their fourth straight victory.
Crosby beat Craig Anderson three times in the game's first 22 minutes, sending the goalie to the bench after stopping 18 of 21 shots.
Kyle Turris, Colin Greening and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored for the Senators, but couldn't stop Ottawa from falling into a deep hole against the Eastern Conference's top seed. The Senators have never won a playoff series after dropping the first two games.
Game 3 is Sunday in Ottawa.
The Senators insisted they didn't have to play a perfect game to hang with the Penguins, pointing to the way they controlled play at even strength for long stretches in a 4-1 loss in the series opener Tuesday night. Ottawa insisted if it could stay out of the penalty box and convert when it had the man advantage, it would be right there.
Despite doing both in the first period -- killing two penalties and converting on Turris' bank shot on the power play -- the Senators still trailed 2-1.
More to the point, they trailed Crosby 2-1.
The Pittsburgh captain became the fifth player in franchise history to record 100 playoff points in spectacular fashion.
Turris tied it with the first soft goal Vokoun has allowed since taking over for Marc-Andre Fleury in Game 5 of the first-round series against the Islanders. Turris collected the puck near the left post and shot it off Vokoun and into the net.
Crosby one-upped Turris a few minutes later, zipping down the left side once again. This time, Crosby appeared to be looking to pass, eyeing linemate Pascal Dupuis as they raced in on Anderson. Only Crosby didn't pass. At the last second and without even peeking directly at Anderson, he flipped a wrist shot near the goal line that smacked off the goalie's pad and into the net.
Crosby didn't need any fancy stickwork to record his first postseason hat trick since 2009. Instead he powered a slap shot over Anderson's glove from the left circle to push Pittsburgh's lead to 3-1. Anderson skated to the bench in favor of backup Robin Lehner.

Dear Answer Angel Ellen: You've explained BB cream, thanks! Now I'm seeing CC cream. What is it?
— Peggy Ann
Dear Peggy Ann: After testing all those BB creams (aka beauty balms), I decided that BB cream is really just a new name for tinted moisturizer. You're seeing CC creams because cosmetics companies are always putting out new products hoping you'll spend more dough on the latest miracle beauty aid. (How else to explain the 10,000 different mascaras?) So, as the glow of BBs fades, you'll be seeing more about CCs, which stands for color correction. These purport to do what the BB creams do plus even out your skin tone, whatever that means. I just finished testing five CCs available at drugstores, and here's what I found: They're just tinted moisturizers too. I liked BB creams, and I like the CCs, but I sure couldn't tell the difference between the two (and I can't wait for the inevitable DDs).
In my CC test, those with the most coverage (although not as heavy as regular foundation) were Almay (Smart Shade, $9.99/ounce) and Yes to Grapefruit ($15.99/1.7 ounces). L'Oreal (Visible Lift, $12.99/ounce) was barely detectable and definitely did not do any visible lifting. Coverage by Physicians Formula (Organic Wear, $14.99/1.2 ounces) and Olay ($19.54/ 1.7 ounces) was in the middle range and gave a slight glow. None of them evened out or color-corrected my skin tone, and I'm not sure I'd want them to anyhow. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Olay.
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: My eyebrows are getting thinner and sparser. What is the best way to camouflage this? What is the best eyebrow brush/pencil?
— Skimpy
Dear Skimpy: Over the years, I've tried an array of brow kits that come with complicated instructions, stencils, tools, various powders to blend and blah blah blah. Some are better than others, but the best solution I've found — this is going to sound weird but I swear by it — is a Maybelline blond eyebrow pencil, the one that looks like a real pencil (red on the outside). Official name: Maybelline Expert Wear Twin Brow & Eye Pencils. I'm not blond (at least not naturally) but the blond color (really, a very light brown) lets you go overboard or make mistakes without looking like a cartoon character (or Groucho Marx). If you don't believe me, do just one eyebrow and then compare in the mirror. (Use light feathery strokes for best results.) If blond doesn't do the trick, you can always go one shade darker until you find what's right for you. It's only $3.99 or so for a two-pack at the drugstore. As for the best brush to keep your eyebrows going in the right direction? You can't beat a toothbrush.
And speaking of eyebrows …
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Have you ever done a comparison test on eyebrow tweezers? I keep trying different brands, and they keep not gripping the hairs.
Dear J.: I'm sticking with Tweezerman (tweezerman.com), and I especially love the free sharpening pledge, which I've used more than once when the tweezers lost their oomph. (That's how I justify the initial $20-plus tweezer cost.) I tested the Revlon Spotlight tweezers with a small LED light built in. The light was great, but the tweezers were only so-so.
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: My granddaughter was so excited when her new online-purchased sweatshirt arrived in the mail, she attacked the package with scissors, resulting in four small (inch-long) slices in the fabric. How can I mend these to make them less noticeable?
— Sad Grammy
Dear Sad Grammy: Don't you hate it when the best you can say about something is that it provided a good life lesson? Your granddaughter now knows she must be extremely careful when opening a package with a sharp object — especially when it's easily damaged clothing! But that's slender consolation to either of you — particularly the girl so eager to wear that new sweatshirt. Stitching the slashes closed will only call attention to them. I'd head for a fabric store and buy an iron-on patch as close as possible to the color of the shirt. Cut it into small pieces that cover the slashes well. Turn the sweatshirt inside out and then iron on so the patches are on the inside. It won't be perfect but it could be good enough.
Angelic Readers
JoAnn writes, "You really missed the mark" on the question about what the boss should give her employees when a gift is called for. (The Angel suggested something festive from a museum store.) "There is not one working woman or man out there who needs or wants a quirky, whimsical doodad even from a museum store. That boss should take the employees out to lunch and send them home early, or if she must give a physical gift make it edible and easily regiftable in case they are allergic, on a diet or not a foodie.
"And none of us should think a gift card would ever be amiss — as long as the boss includes a heartfelt note about the joy of working with the employee and a mention of why this particular gift card seemed perfect. 'I know I'm guilty of feeding your coffee habit, but enjoy!' 'This shop's got so many interesting things that remind me of you.' Or, 'I thought this great deli — or wine shop or candy store — would suit your holiday entertaining plans.' Just please don't add to the dust-catching 'stuff' in our lives."
Dear JoAnn: Lunch, knocking off early, a note of appreciation with a gift card? Great ideas all. How about use-any-time movie tickets? I agree that we don't need more dust-catchers in our lives. And that goes for gifts to friends and relatives too.
Reader Rant
Why can't women clean out their dressing room after trying on clothes at a store? Do these women realize that they need to make the area presentable for the next customer? It is difficult enough to find a clerk to take your money, let alone expect someone to clean a dressing room because you are too lazy to put the clothes back on the hanger. And why would I want to buy clothes that have been lying on the floor? Same thing goes for the health club — pick up your wet towels and put them in the bin.

There is no hope... I suggest you stop routing for the team....trust me you are better off....Let's assume we fire Tannenbaum. Why would any promising GM candidate choose the Jets over the Chiefs, Chargers, Panthers, etc.?
1) We have a meddlesome owner who likes to have input on the high-profile transactions (or potential transactions) of a team
2) We already have a head coach who I suspect the vast majority of good GM candidates would not want as their HC -- he has lost the team for two years in a row and shows no sign of knowing how to run a team other than by knowing how to run a defense
3) We don't have a franchise quarterback, or even a quarterback of the future.
4) Next year we have 3 players -- David Harris, Sanchez, Holmes -- that are making nearly $40m. These players are basically worth jack ****t. Sanchez if cut adds another $4-5M in dead money, and is not going to help the Jets field an above-average (or average) offense. Holmes is a locker room cancer that no other team wanted at a bargain salary, let alone coming off an injury and making $13M. And Harris is a fine player but drastically overpaid.
5) The team's best player is coming off an ACL injury, has a huge contract, and is likely to show up on the GM's door two seconds after he's hired asking for a new contract.
To recap: the team has no players to build around but a ton of money invested in worthless players, a meddlesome owner, and a coach that's on a career path that crashing planes think looks steep. Oh, and he has to deal with the NY media and the Giants, and the Patriots in the division.
GMs aren't like coaches -- if they fail, they don't become OCs, succeed, and get another crack at a HC job. They basically only get one shot, and GMs by their nature are more cautious and calculating than coaches. So why would a hotshot, rising, up-and-coming GM candidate pick the Jets?
Looking for serious answers here because I don't see any.
[If Woody agrees, I could see the team bringing back Mr. T, Rex and Sanchez, because at least after the season the job is somewhat attractive to potential candidates - he can then pick his HC, cut Sanchez/Holmes at low cost, and truly rebuild.]

I like the idea, but after seeing it on a quick photoshop I'm not sure that I do. The two sets of sabres on the front of the jersey seem to be redundant.
Looks like it will only be on the third jerseys.

Before it doesn't emit infrared radiation?
Good point, but I would assume that it's got to be giving off quite a bit to be detectable from here.
Or maybe it's just very reflective.
Is that the temperature for the WHOLE planet or the side which faces its sun ?
with 2700 C the dominant frequencies aren't infrared anymore. More like yellow.
They were looking at a wavelength of 4.5um - this probably isn't the peak wavelength the planet is emitting, but if it were, the source would need to be 370 C. Which I would call toasty.
It's not the peak - TFA states the planet's temperature is about 2700C. Which I would call "infernal".
That does, however, explain how the IR emissions are high enough for us to detect here on Earth, light-years away - it's really, really, *really* hot.
2700ÂC is not just infernal I'd think. That temperature is nearly half the temperature of the sun's photosphere (5500ÂC). Iron melts at 1538ÂC, and boils at 2862ÂC. There could be clouds of iron vapor and rains of molten iron there. If it had any kind of atmosphere it would likely be made up of iron and silicon vapor.
If it had any kind of atmosphere it would likely be made up of iron and silicon vapor.
If it had any kind of atmosphere it would likely be made up of iron and silicon vapor.
Sodium Oxide is too low temperature, but I think Li2O might have potential. Does anyone know the triple point of Lithium Oxide?
...it's really, really, *really* hot.
Yea, but it's a dry heat...
Before it doesn't emit infrared radiation?
Absolute zero. All objects emit infrared. Better question: What's the sensitivity of the equipment measuring this?
What exactly justified it to be called super-Earth? The size is close to Earth (half order of magnitude), but it is close to Venus as well, and Venus is hotter.
The only planets larger than Earth in the Solar system are the gas giants, so a super Earth is just a designation for a planet more massive than Earth, but not a gas giant.
What exactly justified it to be called super-Earth?
Earth-like but significantly bigger than earth. The planet in question is 8 times the mass of Earth with twice the radius so roughly the same density. It might only be a factor of 8 in mass but if you saw a person with 8 times the average mass, say ~600kg, you'd certainly call them super-sized! As for temperature Venus is hotter than Earth but with a surface temperature of 460C it's decidedly nippy compared to the planet in question which is just over 1700C.
What exactly justified it to be called super-Earth?
It's bigger, stronger, faster, shoots infra-red beams, and, the dead give-away, has a red cape. Yeah. I went there.
I suggest we send Finnish astronauts. They actually like this sort of place.
"Cosmonaut Hämeenniemi! Have you reached the planet, what is it like!"
(long delay)
"Shhh... I'm relaxing"
A watched planet never boils...
But it started boiling before we started watching it.
So Boil's law is not broken.
One small dip is when the planet is covering the sun.A larger dip is when the sun is covering the planet.
S+P vs S vs S +P - coveredfractionofsun*S.
When the planet is colder the first dip is larger and the second dip is less. With a hot planet I think both dips may well be measurable.

Fiddlers Patriot Takes Jim McKay Turf Sprint Stakes
Fiddlers Patriot Takes Jim McKay Turf Sprint Stakes
BALTIMORE, 05-18-12 –James F. Olson & R.A. Hill Stable's Fiddlers Patriot pressed the pacesetter from the start before drawing clear in the stretch to capture in the $100,000 Jim McKay Turf Sprint at Pimlico Race Course.
John Velazquez was at the controls as the son of Proud Citizen made his 2012 debut for trainer George Weaver. Super Chunky, who also raced close to the pace, finished 2 ¼ lengths back in second, while pacesetter Ju Jitsu Jax settled for third.
Defending champ Ben's Cat, the race favorite, broke slowly and closed from far back to finish fifth.
Fiddlers Patriot completed the five-furlong distance in 56.12 and paid $10.60.
Jim McKay Turf Sprint Stakes Quotes
George Weaver (winning trainer, Fiddlers Patriot)– "I was a little bit timid about running this horse five-eighths. Sometimes going five-eighths you have to run and gun the whole way. I know he has good early speed, but I was a little bit reluctant to run five-eighths. He was ready to run and we thought we'd run today and at least know if he does handle five-eighths. Now we have a lot more options."
John Velazquez (winning jockey, Fiddlers Patriot)– "The last few times I rode him it had rained and the turf was soft. He was bouncing around. I know he's a quick horse. Today he broke well and saved ground. I followed the speed around the turn and let him go turning for home. We had a perfect trip."
Sheldon Russell (jockey, beaten favorite, Ben's Cat) –"He didn't break as sharp as I would have liked. We were badly bumped on the turn. These big runners are always a concern because speed is holding strong on the turf. He galloped out strong."

Aston Villa will be without Emile Heskey and Jermaine Jenas for the home Barclays Premier League game against Newcastle.
Former England striker Heskey looks set to be out for two to three weeks with a pulled hamstring, while on-loan Tottenham midfielder Jenas also misses out this weekend after suffering a thigh injury in training.
Eric Lichaj is expected to be sidelined for three to four months after undergoing a hip operation. Fellow defender Carlos Cuellar is recovering well from a knee problem but lacks match fitness.
Newcastle full-back Davide Santon could be out of action for a month after suffering a cartilage injury which will require minor surgery.
The 20-year-old former Inter Milan defender will miss out on a chance to make his senior debut for the club, so utility man Ryan Taylor is likely to continue in what has been a problem position for manager Alan Pardew since Jose Enrique's summer departure for Liverpool.
Hatem Ben Arfa is back in training after his ankle injury but is unlikely to be risked at the weekend, although he could make the squad for Tuesday night's Carling Cup trip to Nottingham Forest, while Haris Vuckic (broken hand), Mehdi Abeid and Mike Williamson (broken arm) remain on the casualty list.
Pardew has challenged his players to defy the odds to retain their place in the in the Barclays Premier League's top four.
Not since the Bobby Robson era, when the Magpies finished fourth, third and fifth in successive seasons, have the Magpies rubbed shoulders so closely with English football's elite, and their current lofty status has come as a surprise to many.
Indeed, few would expect them to remain on the coat-tails of the Manchester clubs and Chelsea despite their hugely encouraging start to the new campaign.
However, Pardew insists they are there on merit and while he knows there are tougher tests to come, he insists there is no reason why they cannot stay in the upper reaches of the table.
He said with a smile: "I took my phone and got a picture of it [the league table] to make sure it was correct, and I will keep that.
"There's no sense of us getting carried away - I don't think that will ever happen under my management.
"It's about taking that belief into the games. That's where we are and that's where we deserve to be and from now on, that's where we have got to try to stay if we can."
Newcastle are where they are because they have conceded only one league goal in their four games to date, and that has been enough to secure draws with Arsenal and QPR and wins over Sunderland and Fulham.
But they have scored only three times themselves in the process and while the balance has been good enough during the opening weeks of the season, Pardew knows unless something changes, they will have to continue to keep clean sheets if they are to maintain that momentum.
He said: "The discipline in the squad has been the key and our defenders have been really at the top of their game.
"Where we sit right now, there is a huge dependence on them at the moment and we want to just change that, take some pressure off them and get a couple of goals here and there - or maybe three or four."

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Windows.
Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
This plugin provides two-way integration with gitolite: https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
- Users who don't have read access to a repository in Gitolite will be blocked from viewing that repository in Trac's web browser
- Trac admins may manage users' gitolite-based repository permissions through the Trac web interface
- Trac admins may add and remove users' SSH public keys through the Trac web interface to control access to the gitolite system
- Trac admins may use a "Create New Repository" feature to initialize an empty gitolite repository through the Trac web interface
- Install Trac and Gitolite on the same server.
- Ensure that the system user running the Trac process has filesystem read access to all gitolite repositories in the present and future. The simplest way to do this is to run Trac as the gitolite user; the more correct way is to add the Trac and Gitolite users to a shared group, set UMASK=>0027 in .gitolite.rc as well as running chmod to fix up permissions on the already-created files.
- Ensure that the system user running the Trac process can clone and push the gitolite-admin repository, by setting up an SSH keypair for the Trac user, adding that public key to gitolite-admin/keydir and adding RW+ (or just RW) permissions to the corresponding user in gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf for "repo gitolite-admin".
- Tell Trac about the existence of the gitolite-admin repository by running a command like trac-admin <env> repository add gitolite-admin $GITOLITE_HOME/repositories/gitolite-admin.git git
- Install the trac_gitolite plugin, enable its components in trac.ini and prepend "GitolitePermissionPolicy" to your site's trac.ini permission_policies settings.
Detailed Instructions
First, install both Trac and Gitolite in the standard ways. They must be installed on the same server.
You will need to ensure that Trac has the necessary read access to the filesystem directory that contains your gitolite repositories. If Trac is running as user "wsgi" and gitolite has been installed to run as user "git" with a homedir /home/git/ you will probably want to run a command on your server like this:
sudo groupadd infra sudo usermod -a -G infra wsgi sudo usermod -a -G infra git sudo chown -R git:infra /home/git/repositories/ sudo chmod -R g+rXs /home/git/repositories/
(The +s ensures that new files created in the git repositories, like new commit objects in the repos, will retain the "infra" group-ownership rather than reverting to the git user's primary group.)
You will also need to ensure that Trac can continue to read all needed files over time. One way to do this is to set the UMASK setting in .gitolite.rc to 0027. Another way would be to set the repository configuration core.sharedRepository = group in all existing and new repositories (including gitolite-admin) using a repository template.
Now Trac will be able to read from your gitolite repositories using its standard repository features.
You then need to add the gitolite-admin repository itself to Trac. This will allow Trac to read configuration files directly from the gitolite-admin repository using its own version-control APIs. Do this with a command line:
trac-admin /path/to/env/ repository add gitolite-admin /home/git/repositories/gitolite-admin.git git
From now on, to add an existing gitolite repository named "my-first-repo" to your Trac system, you would add a Trac git repository named "my-first-repo" with directory /home/git/repositories/my-first-repo.git through Trac's standard administrative web interface, shell scripts, or configuration files.
Next, you will need to grant the Trac system user read and write permissions on the gitolite-admin repository through gitolite itself. This is how Trac will write changes to your Gitolite system (web-based user, permission and repository management) -- it will clone the gitolite-admin repo, write changes, commit and push them back to the server.
To do this -- again supposing that Trac is running as user "wsgi" -- you will run commands on your server like this:
sudo su wsgi ssh-keygen exit cd /tmp/ git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git cd /tmp/gitolite-admin/ echo "repo gitolite-admin RW+ = wsgi" >> ./conf/gitolite.conf sudo cp ~wsgi/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ./keydir/wsgi.pub git add keydir/wsgi.pub conf/gitolite.conf git commit -m "configuring trac_gitolite permissions" git push
Finally, enable the trac_gitolite components in trac.ini for your site:
[components] trac_gitolite.* = enabled
This will add three new panels to the "Version Control" section in the Trac Admin. To additionally enable the permission policy, add to your trac.ini:
[trac] permission_policies = GitolitePermissionPolicy, AuthzPolicy, DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy
Sensible defaults are provided that should work for most typical installations of Trac and Gitolite. The following trac.ini options (all in a [trac-gitolite] section) can be modified if necessary:
- admin_reponame: defaults to gitolite-admin; this is the name in trac of the gitolite-admin repository
- admin_real_reponame: defaults to gitolite-admin; this is the name in gitolite of the gitolite-admin repository
- admin_ssh_path: defaults to git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git
- admin_system_user: defaults to "trac"; this is the name in gitolite of the system user running the trac web process
- default_private: defaults to True; when set to True (the default) repositories known to Trac which are missing from gitolite.conf will not be visible through the Trac source browser to any users. Set this to False to defer those repositories' permissions to the rest of the Trac permission system.
- all_includes_anonymous: defaults to False; when set to True, repositories with @all = R in gitolite.conf will be viewable through the web by anonymous users. The default is to make these repositories viewable by all logged-in users only.
Known Deficiencies
Patches are welcome for any of these known deficiencies:
- Only the most basic Gitolite configuration is supported; any of the
following advanced gitolite features will cause the plugin to fail:
- refexes are unsupported: they cannot be configured through the Trac admin UI, and they are not respected by the Trac Browser permission policy.
- deny rules are unsupported
- user groups (aside from @all) are unsupported
- project groups are unsupported
- conf includes are unsupported
- permissions other than R, W, + are unsupported: C, D, M
- Probably there are other unsupported advanced Gitolite features that I don't even know about -- feel free to tell me about them
- The process of creating a new repo is a bit confusing (first create it in Gitolite Repositories, then add it in Repositories)
- The permission-management UI is overwhelming
- All users are assumed to have the same usernames in Trac as their gitolite names.
- All repositories are assumed to have the same names in Trac as they do in gitolite.
- The behavior of Trac repository aliases have not been tested at all
- I think TRAC_ADMIN is not respected (TRAC_ADMIN users should have access to all repositories regardless of the gitolite.conf permissions, unless a configuration option says otherwise)
- Comments in the gitolite conf file will be overwritten when saving changes through Trac; in general, the gitolite conf file's particular contents, ordering and formatting will not be preserved reliably through Trac writes.
- The whole approach -- of having Trac clone, edit, commit and push the gitolite-admin repository during the user's web request with subprocesses -- is a pretty terrible hack, but I don't know if there's any possible alternative. (I don't think Gitolite has an API.) Using dulwich instead of subprocess.call(['git', 'clone']) etc would reduce the hackishness I guess.

Manu Tuilagi is very likely to miss next year's Six Nations after having to undergo surgery on a chest injury, BBC Sport has reported.
The Leicester and England player, 22, tore a pectoral muscle playing against Newcastle in September but was expected to return towards the end of this month.
But Richard Cockerill, Leicester Tigers director of rugby, said Tuilagi is unlikely to feature until February after complications in his rehab.
The Samoan born centre, who has been capped 21 times for England, has already missed the entire autumn international series. He also appeared as a replacement in the final Lions test against Australia this summer.
"Unfortunately Manu has not been able to recover from his pectoral injury by rehab so he had surgery on Monday to repair that," Cockerill told BBC Radio Leicester.
"He had a reaction right at the end of his rehab, thus he will probably be out for three months so that's obviously disappointing-and a blow."
England's Six Nations campaign starts away to France on February 1
Before then, however, England face New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday hoping to maintain a perfect record in their autumn internationals.
England beat Australia just over a week ago before dispatching of Argentina a week later, but the All Blacks will provide the sternest test for Stuart Lancaster's side.

I'd hate to see what governments do with this technology or rival corporations. Who's to say that Comcast won't make Rural Town's USA's coop appear to be a site with a negative reputation.
First of all, didn't they say that the reputation would be determined by "cooperating good guys"? Since when has Comcast ever been described as "cooperative", or "good"?
But seriously, reputations aren't usually vetoes where one person can blackball a server, are they? I would imagine that they would realize that it would be a waste of time, given that all of the other "good guys" would collectively carry too much weight for one entity to effectively sabotage.
I also imagine that they'd realize that this would be a good way to lose credibility as a "good guy", and maybe have it revoked.
Hopefully the same principal would apply on the other end if a "non-good guy" gets in the system in order to push bad sites.
I seriously doubt it will be a magic bullet, but it might help.
> What will define reputable?
I have a lot of time for Paul Vixie, but in this particular case he has come up with a bad idea. This should absolutely not be handled in DNS. There are plenty of reputation-based schemes already in operation for per-protocol black or white listing which work as well (and as badly) as any such scheme can do. There is no need to drag it down to the core, polluting DNS with yet more protocol shenanigans as we do so.
DNS was always a simple protocol which did one job and did it well. Please stop trying to expand it to solve problems which have already been solved (by those who wish to do so) elsewhere.
Well, at least you always have the option of querying the root servers directly. Surely they won't have this enabled.
There are plenty of reputation-based schemes already in operation for per-protocol black or white listing which work as well (and as badly) as any such scheme can do. There is no need to drag it down to the core, polluting DNS with yet more protocol shenanigans as we do so.
Given that connections via most protocols are preceded by DNS queries (unless you're using hardcoded IP addresses for everything), I think whether this is or isn't a good idea comes down to one question:
Are there are lot of domains out there that deserve a bad reputation for things they do on certain ports or over certain protocols, but are otherwise fine and upstanding members of society?
I think there are plenty of companies out there that are respectable outfits but make some poor choices vis-a-vis email
I predict it will take about 0.00000023s for anyone with an agenda and means to manipulate this to their will. Corporate America? The Media? Politics of all types? Government?
Pick your poison and enjoy it before it kills you.
Are we satisfied of that other reputation system called SSL certificates?
The main reason I'm not using them and I'm sure most others aren't is because SSL sucks for virtual hosts. Else, I'd have a self-signed or cacert cert on all my domains.
Self-signed certificates are one of my biggest problems with SSL. It gives you the same general level of security as SSH[1], but browsers are set up to make people trust sites with self-signed certificates less than site with no certificate.
[1] You can't be sure it's the right computer the first time you connect (unless you already have the certificate), but every time after that you can know it's the same computer and the connection is encrypted.
because SSL sucks for virtual hosts
This has been fixed with TLS. See SSL with Virtual Hosts Using SNI [apache.org]. It doesn't work with IE6, but then, what does?
According to Wikipedia, it doesn't work on any browser running on Windows XP. Ugh. It'll be 10 years before those things are significantly depleted from the population.
Wikipedia is wrong then. Internet Explorer doesn't do SNI on Windows XP, but Firefox is fine. More specifically the library SChannel is broken on XP, and therefore the browsers depending on SChannel have a problem. That includes Internet Explorer and it at least used to include Chrome, although Google has been working on an alternative NSS implementation. It seems that Chrome M6 has the problem fixed.
Aren't CAs establishing (at best) identity and not reputation?
Stopping the names from resolving leaves the user wondering whether they're experiencing a network failure. What is needed is a new response, and support for this response, and not simply resolution failure.
It doesn't just prevent the name from resolving, though. It will also return the fact the query was blocked by RPZ via a STATUS code. At that point, I think it should be up to the application, such as the browser, which is causing the DNS query, to read the STATUS code for the query and provide the appropriate message, such as "server not found" in response to a query with an NXDOMAIN status.
I actually think this is pretty cool and am excited about it, although I suspect that I'm in the minority on this h
it looks like you can also define policy in the RPZ zone so that the domain you're trying to block can pointed to a web server were you have a block message up, presumably describing the policy reason that the site is being listed.
additionally, there is no requirement that says one must subscribed to a Spamhause-style service, that's just a hypothetical option. Besides, if your recursive DNS servers are blocking stuff you want to get to anyway, you can choose different ones, or set up your own. Setting up BIND as a recursive DNS server is ridiculously easy, and you can ignore RPZ zones to your hearts content then.
Besides, if your recursive DNS servers are blocking stuff you want to get to anyway, you can choose different ones, or set up your own.
Unless, for example, your ISP has a transparent proxy that redirects all outgoing traffic to known public recursive servers (e.g. Google's 184.108.40.206) to your ISP's recursive server instead. Do any ISPs in the developed world do this?
It doesn't just prevent the name from resolving, though. It will also return the fact the query was blocked by RPZ via a STATUS code.
It sounds like it could be a fantastic thing if my web browser does something intelligent with the response code. You can tell I'm too lazy to RTFA
Paul Vixie already has quite the reputation for high-handed wholesale blocking of sites deemed to be improper. MAPS RBL was his baby and while the political fallout from that misadventure cost him much of his reputation - it looks like he's trying to keep at it but put the blame on someone else this time.
Regardless of that, this scheme will be afflicted with the same problems that MAPS had. When what the people can see or read depends upon the ratings applied by some special (and probably secret) group then they'll twist this power to serve themselves. Malware or spam? Blocked. Porn? Blocked. Negative opinions about the blocking? Blocked. Wrong political position? Blocked. Didn't pay protection or get approval from the government? Blocked.
Paul Vixie is undeniably talented and knows a lot about networking. But his knowledge of human nature and how society works is woefully inadequate. Something that is always true: when you attempt to apply technological solutions to societal problems, it doesn't solve the problems and introduces new and usually worse problems. See RIAA / MPAA VS. Everyone for insight as to how blocking creates more problems than it solves.
And Then What We Really Need is a technology that will allow 'cooperating good guys' to provide and consume reputation information about reputation information providers.
A whole lot depends on implementation. The initial intent seems to be to provide a mechanism of blocking domain names that have just been created and have high probability of being phishing/spamming/whatever nefarious. Theoretically, DNS could be updated to include the age of the record to help clients make up their own minds of whether to connect or not, but then you'd start on a slippery slope of additional information about records.
By building the protocol around a layer of abstraction, additional information can be considered - the actual IP that it's resolving to, how rapidly that's changing, how many different domain names are being created against the netblock that this one is created against, and so on. Much richer information, and theoretically can provide much more useful results.
The implementation? It's going to be problematic for some, since the decision is being made by a 3rd party as to what is trusted. But this is the case with many ISPs DNS servers anyway - if it doesn't resolve, you end up at a search page instead of getting a DNS error. This won't affect the majority of users in a way they perceive. Is that a good thing? Most of the time...
Overall, if the DNS server I used was smart enough to prevent successful lookups of records created recently (>1 day), records associated with IPs that saw more than n records added per time period, and a maybe one or two other basic things, I'd probably have a significantly reduced vulnerability to drive by downloads, bots depending on fast fluxing C&C servers, and other actively nefarious threats.
Filtering the DNS should be at the bridge to the LAN, and/or the end-user's machine.
Reputation belongs on reputation servers. We don't have many of those yet, and what we do have are implemented wrong, but that's where they belong.
It would be good in many cases for the user's machine to be able to pop up a notice on first access to a domain:
"This domain has a reputation for attacking visitors with malware."
or that kind of thing. But that's not DNS, that's reputation, and people should be able/required to ch
This process can check if this value is zero, and if it is, it does something child-like. -- Forbes Burkowski, CS 454, University of Washington
