Do you have trouble remembering all your passwords, PINs and identification codes? If you believe the hype, you could soon be swallowing away all your problems with a "password pill".
But don't hold your breath for this technology – better alternatives are already available.
News reports have suggested a swallowable device can beam user IDs and passwords to a smartphone or tablet. What they're talking about is a component of Proteus Digital Health Feedback System, developed by Motorola.
How does it work?
The system has three components:
- a phone app that you run on your smartphone
- a wearable patch which monitors changes in skin tension (interpreted as pulse and activity or inactivity)
- the "ingestible sensor" (aka "password pill") – a digestible placebo pill containing a small radio transmitter which sends a fixed (and unique) string of 18 bits.
The phone app receives information from the patch by Bluetooth; the patch receives information from the pill by radio; and the pill slowly dissolves in your stomach, using galvanic corrosion ("just like a potato battery") as a power source.
But what does the pill send?
18 bits, which is the equivalent of two keyboard characters. So not a password or a medical history.
If we use the bits to represent numbers, 18 bits is equivalent to a bit more than a five-digit number, which would make a reasonably good PIN. Or it could be used as a key code in a remotely-located health database.
The pill was developed to monitor when patients actually take their medication, hence its original name: the ingestion event marker. When the radio signal is detected, the patch tells the phone app the patient has swallowed the pill. When the radio signal stops, the patch tells the phone app the pill has dissolved. That's all.
Proteus is working on getting US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval for pills containing active ingredients. They could be used to detect when a patient has taken too many pills, thereby informing medical professionals of the potential for an overdose.
But it's still unclear how such a product would work. If each pill has a unique code, the patch would detect many signals. However, if all of the pills prescribed to a patient use the same static code, overdoses could go undetected. There may be radio collisions at the patch receiver, where many pills might prevent it from detecting the actual codes. Bad outcome.
The Proteus pill is designed to be digested. That means that it dissolves in your stomach, giving you minutes to use your "password".
Proteus is also working on a pill which lasts longer – perhaps by adding an enteric coating (designed to resist stomach acid until they reach the small intestine). Such pills could last up to four hours before they're digested. So the password pill might work in the morning, but after lunch it may be gone. If the 18-bit codes really are unique, you would have to re-key your access system twice a day.
If all the pills had the same code, this could leave consumers vulnerable to attacks. A malicious hacker could stand close to you, record the radio signal on another patch, get the code from the attacker's own phone app and then use the code to open your car door, house, phone, and so on.
Implantable chips
Implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, or microchips, could be a better solution to swallowable pills. The VeriChip, for example, stays in the body indefinitely, contains a 16-digit code and is powered by an RFID reader through a small antenna.
But using a 16-digit code rather than a digital certificate, means they're still vulnerable to attacks.
RFID chips have a much larger range – typically one metre, and up to ten with a directional antenna on the reader – so the risk of attack is greater.
Identity verification
When security is really important, rotating or one-use-only keys are used to supplement passwords. One-use-only keys (also called one-time pads) are disposable passcodes synchronised with a server (at the place you want to communicate with). The server always knows the next code in the sequence, but it is different every time.
Rotating codes are a similar idea but recycle the codes after a while. Garage doors and some keyless entry systems (for cars) use these codes.
Tokens containing one-use-only keys may look like credit cards with a button and a screen, key fobs and USB plugs (YubiKey). They're big (compared to Proteus' grain-of-sand size), but they are reasonably secure, and they keep working for years. Best of all, you don't have to swallow or inject them.
If that's too much for you, there are smartphone apps which pretend to be tokens. In the future, open authentication platforms such as Google Authenticator will allow many types of tokens to use a common infrastructure, so you only need to carry one device.
For the time being, consider the advantages of old-fashioned passwords: you can change them easily, they're free, you can write them down (somewhere safe where people won't find them), they're always with you (in your mind), and they're supported by more systems on the planet than any other method of authentication.

Three thoughts from the Clippers two-point win at Utah Wednesday night
1. Forget John, George and Ringo, Paul's the best
Chris Paul's back, no question.
Paul got off to a slow start this season while he got into shape, and right when he got on track, he hurt his hamstring.
Then when he came back, Paul had to shake off the rust.
Well, after a couple of standout games, it's clear that CP3 is exactly who the Clippers thought he was when they dealt for him before the season.
Paul dictated the tempo in the first quarter, throwing lobs to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan to get things going. Then in the fourth quarter, the Clippers' best player scored 12 points in the final seven minutes of the game, putting them into position to snap a 16-game losing streak in Utah.
2. Salt Lob City
When the Clippers got trounced in Utah a few weeks ago, the Jazz were running all over the court getting easy buckets.
Wednesday, it was the Clippers turn.
No oop was sweeter than Paul's lob to Jordan in the second half, where he did some incredible things to the ball before Jordan punished it by throwing it through the rim.
3. Road Improvement
The most encouraging thing about the Clippers recent run through the Western Conference is how much better the team looks each time on the court.
Fighting through fatigue Wednesday, Griffin showed he's becoming a better shot blocker. Vinny Del Negro showed he's getting more comfortable with the team's rotations.
The Clippers have said that they still have a long ways to go, and at this rate, once they get there, they'll be unstoppable.

By now, you've had time to play with your new Moto X. You've shown it off, maybe you've read about a few of the features, and even gave your phone a name. If you're looking to fall even more in love, here are few tips to help you.
Get Comfortable with Moto Voice
Learn all of the ways that you can use your Moto X (2nd Gen.) without laying a finger on it with Moto Voice. Start with your voice prompt. Then fire up the camera by saying, "Take a Picture" to use the back camera—or "Take a Selfie" to use the front camera and count down from three for fumble-free photo fun. Or say "Good night" to turn on Sleep Mode in Motorola Assist. Android Central has a good list of more commands for Moto Voice to help you out.
Twist It for Quick Camera Access
Not that you need to shake it up but adding a twist is always helpful. Sometimes literally. You can twist your wrist to launch the camera and twist it again to use the front camera to take a selfie. Just make sure you have Quick Capture enabled within the Moto Actions settings. To get there, open the Moto app and tap the gear icon in the upper right corner. Then tap Actions and select Twist for Quick Capture. Make sure the option is checked, watch the demo, and you are good to go.
Let Motorola Assist Help
Motorola Assist will recognize when you're in a car and can read aloud text messages or even announce who is calling. You can then use your voice to tell your phone to answer the call or not. Assist will also sync with your calendar so you won't have to worry about calls during important meetings. Just make sure you accept the meeting first. If you show as available, the call might still get through. To get started, open the Moto app and tap the gear icon in the upper right hand corner. Tap on Assist and choose your own settings for driving mode and meeting mode.
Keep Your Phone Unlocked When You Want
Use Trusted Bluetooth Devices to choose when to keep your phone unlocked for when you're, say, in the car or using a wireless earbud like Moto Hint. To do this, pair your phone with a Bluetooth Device and select Trusted Device when prompted. If you missed the initial notification, Lollipop users can go to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> Trusted Devices. (Those using KitKat can customize it in Settings -> Security & Screen Lock -> Trusted Devices -> select the Bluetooth devices for which you want to keep your phone unlocked).
Ask for Help
The easiest way to set an alarm is to simply ask. Just use your custom voice prompt followed by "Set an alarm for 6 a.m." or "Wake me up at 6 a.m." and you're all set.

Basketbakk Team Rebounds: eBA Concept, Stats and the NBA Statistician's Rules
Basketbakk Team Rebounds: eBA Concept & Stats and the NBA Statistician's Rules:
by Prof. Roberto Azar - December 7, 2017
In each situation a shot is taken and missed and possession may or may not change, but the rebound cannot be credited to an individual so it counts as a 'team rebound' for whichever team is awarded the ball.
A team rebound is awarded to the opponent team to the player who attempted the shot if, before the buzzer sounded, no player had gained control of the rebound.
A team rebound is awarded to the team to which the ball is awarded out of bounds or at the free throw line as a result of a missed field goal attempt or a final free throw attempt.
This includes circumstances when:
- the ball goes out of bounds without any player having secured possession;
- a final free attempt from a serial misses the rim;
- the shooter commits a free throw violation in a a final free attempt from a serial;
- a loose ball foul is called immediately following a missed field goal attempt or final free throw attempt;
- a last technical foul shot missed.
A team rebound is awarded to a team that first gains possession following a jump ball when such a jump ball immediately follows a missed field goal attempt or a final free throw attempt, before any player is credited with an individual rebound.
A team rebound is awarded following a missed shot ( either field goal or last free throw ) when a live ball becomes dead due to the expiration of a period. A team rebound is credited to the opponent team to the player who attempted that shot.
Following the NBA statistician's rules:
• A team rebound is credited to the team entitled to the ball for a throw-in if the ball has gone out of bounds after a missed goal but before there was player control.
However, this does not include cases in which the ball is out of bounds because it passes over the backboard or touches the supports or back of the backboard, the ceiling or overhead equipment or supports, unless the ball was touched by a player after the missed goal but before the ball was out of bounds.
• A dead-ball rebound is credited whenever the ball is dead after a missed goal but before it meets the conditions for an individual or team rebound.
It is credited as follows:
1.- To the team entitled to the ball for a throw-in or a free throw.
2.- To the team that shot the ball if the ball becomes dead due to the expiration of time or if the ball was shot after the expiration of time.
3.- To the team into whose basket a defensive player tips a missed shot.
4.- To the team into whose basket an offensive player deflects a missed shot without intent.
5.- To the team that gains possession according to the alternate possession rule after a missed free throw awarded for a technical foul. (See Rule 8-4.5)
As a general rule, NBA offenses rebound 32 percent of their misses. But this number is not homogeneous league-wide; it depends on the team, the shooter, and many other variables — especially team priorities. The Celtics, who famously prioritize transition defense over offensive rebounding, only rebound 23 percent of their misses, while the high-flying and physical Denver Nuggets capture 42 percent of their missed shots. The Lakers prioritize offensive rebounds, and given their personnel that makes a lot of sense for them.
About the differences between the The eBA Basketball System and the NBA statistician's rules, for example, were developed in the still concluded The eBA Clinics ONLINE, and we'll discuss them in a next message in the eBA Basketball Statistics Forums.
Finally, there is a distinction between team and dead-ball rebounds.
There can be no team rebound unless the ball has gone out of bounds without a player first earning an individual rebound.
If the ball becomes dead before it meets the requirement for either an individual or a team rebound, then a dead-ball rebound is credited.
¿ Why keep dead-ball rebounds ? Because team rebounds reflect team rebounding ability, while dead-ball rebounds do not.
In season rankings, individual and team rebounds are included, but dead-ball rebounds are not, with the exception of our The eBA Basketball System, which keeps a complete log of the dead-balls rebounds per team, player, area, time played, etc., in the same way as with all the rebounds.
Analysis of game statistics indicates that each—team and dead-ball rebounds—accounts for about five percent of a team's rebounds.
Therefore, if dead-ball rebounds are counted as team rebounds, it could affect the league and season rankings.
The The eBA Basketball System, for all those reasons, presents the dead-ball rebounds in a separate report.

Want to find a book using a vague description of the plot? It's easy with the right tips.
Sometimes you remember a book you read by its jacket. Sometimes by the actions of an obscure character. However, there are times when you can't remember author or title.
I am sure you have racked your brain trying to remember that book you loved reading. Book amnesia has affected us all at some time or another. If you are a book lover of any kind, expect to see (or ask) a question of this type one day:
"Do you remember a mystery book that had something about a puppet master as a murderer?"
Tracking down that long-lost book is like a treasure hunt. In the old days, you could have asked the librarian. Today, search engines like Google have the librarian beat.
Here are some tips to help you find a book without knowing the title or author.
Start Your Book Search With Google
When you can't (or even if you can) remember the name of a book, author, or the characters in it, Google or any other search engine should be your first port of call. What is true for any generic search is true when trying to find a book without knowing the name and the author too… it's all about the keywords.
In case of a forgotten title or author, you have to remember anything you can use from the book. It could be the name of a character, a line of dialog, or even basic plot points. The more specific the phrase, the better the result. All rules of a normal search apply (for instance, for exact searches put it in quotes). Google auto-suggestions will also tell you if you are on the right track.
Tip: The search for a long-lost book is a good way to master advanced Google Search skills 11 Advanced Searches to Bookmark to Become a Google Power User 11 Advanced Searches to Bookmark to Become a Google Power User Turn yourself into a true Google power user with these 11 advanced searches and pro tips. This will make sure you never have to recall these searches and yet will always have them at your fingertips. Read More . For example, you can include or exclude specific keywords, search with an exact phrase, or use the wildcard operator to guess the name of a character.
Now Try Google Books Search
As an avid reader, you should have heard about the massive Google Books Library Project Search Any Book With Google – It's Finally Legal! Search Any Book With Google – It's Finally Legal! The Google Books Library Project makes it possible to find books by searching through their text and contents! Read More . It is the largest book cataloging project of its kind. Google Books Search works just like Google Search.
The difference is that the reference page displayed for your search result also contains extra information like various covers, tables of content, common terms and phrases, and popular passages from the book. You can view sample pages and check if this is the book you were searching for. Also, you can search within a book.
Use the Advanced Google Search Page with filters like subject, publisher, language, publication date, ISBN and ISSN numbers (you aren't going to remember these two).
Experiment with keywords and wildcard operators to grab a clue. Even if you do not find the book you're looking for, you might come across a reference which could then lead you to the answer.
Other Catalogs You Can Use for Your Book Search
There are some search engines which are more specialized for book searches.
BookFinder is an advanced search engine (Click on Show more options) which taps into the inventories of over 100,000 booksellers worldwide. Try a keyword search or, if you can recall it, restrict your query by the publication year.
WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. You can search the worldwide database of 72,000 libraries in 170 countries. Search for a book and then locate it at a nearby library. Membership of the library allows you to check out the item online. Try the Advanced Search with unique filters like Audience and Languages.
Peek into WorldCat Genres (or Fictional Finder) which helps you browse through fiction genres for hundreds of titles, authors, subjects, characters, locations, and more, ranked by popularity in the world's libraries.
The Library of Congress
The Library of Congress (LOC) is the world's largest library and today it also hosts a huge digital collection. An online book search through its catalog of 167 million items that include books, serials, manuscripts, maps, music, recordings, images, and electronic resources shouldn't take too long. And to top it all, the LOC has a friendly Ask A Librarian form for queries.
Also, check out the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) search tool which is another Library of Congress utility.
Tap Into Amazon Search
Amazon started life as an online bookstore. It remains the leading category by sales with millions of titles in stock at any one time. If Amazon doesn't sell the book you are looking for, then it's probably no longer available (or just a figment of your imagination). The basic search bar can get you close to the book with a keyword. But the real spadework can be done by Amazon's Advanced Book Search.
Amazon does not have an official list of advanced search operators. But it does display a few search tips on the above page. The API documentation also lists a few power searches you can try out for your book. Go through the documentation by clicking on "Next". For instance, experimenting with the [title-begins] keyword could return close hits.
The trick is to cut through the clutter of Amazon search results. Try this neat Amazon advanced search tool called JungleSearch.net to which can help you fetch hidden Amazon search results too.
And if all fails, then do a site search with Google. You might just get lucky. For example:
"Rachel Childs"+journalist site:amazon.com
Search Inside the Book
Amazon not only matches your keywords to titles and authors but also on every word inside a book. You can discover if this is the exact book you are looking for by clicking the Look Inside link and going through the preview pages. Use the Search Inside This Book field to look for sentences, key phrases, and even citations.
Ask for Help From Online Book Communities
Any website which helps you discover your next book The Ultimate 50 Ways to Find New Books to Read The Ultimate 50 Ways to Find New Books to Read There are some books which we don't want to put down. Thanks to the many tools available today, your next reading adventure can begin instantly. Find what you should read next with this guide. Read More will have an online community behind it. Tap into the collective memory of book lovers on these recommended book platforms.
Goodreads is an Amazon subsidiary. As such, you can expect the knowledge base to be just as vast. This social network for book nerds has discussion boards on a variety of topics.
You can go to any genre-specific group and ask for help. But it might be worth trying these two first:
Abe Books: BookSleuth
The appropriately named BookSleuth is another good hunting ground for forgotten titles. Use the community forum that is organized by genre, and provide as many details as you can for the members to help you out.
LibraryThing: Name That Book
LibraryThing is a less hip, more cerebral alternative to Goodreads. Start a new topic for your specific search in this community group and enter all of the book details you can remember.
Last but Not Least: Social Networks!
By now, you should have got either the book or your memory back. If not, your search has probably reached a frustrating hurdle because the book-loving masses haven't been able to rescue you yet. It's time to broaden your scope with an SOS on your social network of choice.
The social network isn't only for finding long lost friends. You can also call upon the wisdom of the crowd to help you find that elusive book. Your own social circle might be too limited, so broaden your search using book clubs.
Mark Zuckerberg started A Year of Books, and now it has close to 800,000 followers. Even smaller public groups like Books are worth a try. You just have to shout above the noise.
Start with a Twitter search. Hashtags are what makes micro-blogging work, but a generic #books or #bibliophile hashtag might be too broad. Try to plug the specific genre into a hashtag search (e.g. #DarkFantasy or #UrbanFantasy) to narrow your results, and/or when you ask for help.
The Q&A site could be the largest gathering of "experts" outside Facebook and Twitter. The best thing about Quora is that you can expect a quality response. Take the answer in the screenshot for example.
Stack Exchange
A potpourri of 168 Q&A communities makes up Stack Exchange. Stack Overflow might be the most popular with programmers but there are niche communities for Ebooks and Literature. Then, you can also go into a genre-specific community and drop a question. Sci-Fi and Fantasy is popular.
You couldn't have thought of a better name for a subreddit on books than Tip of My Tongue. Just scan your eyes down the solved answers with the green tag to understand the power of collective memory. Also, try other subreddits like What's That Book, Books, and printSF when you can only remember the cover.
Can You Now Find That Lost Book?
The web relies on the kindness of strangers. The good thing is that book lovers are everywhere and the fraternity is amazingly co-operative. We can always find them closeted together in some group or community.
So, the next time you have a memory blackout try to recall any vague detail of the book.
Go back in time to remember any physical feature or illustration. Try to bring up some associated memories—what were you doing when you were reading that book? How old were you? Was it a gift or did you borrow it?
Believe me, every tiny shred of information helps. But the best tip I can offer to every book lover is this—make a reading list and keep it organized!

No. 1:13-cv-02111 (SLE) (N.D. Ill.)
You or someone in your family may have purchased or otherwise acquired Navistar common stock. As a potential Class Member, you have a right to know about your options before the Court rules on the proposed Settlement of this case. Additionally, you have the right to understand how a class action lawsuit may generally affect your legal rights.Back To Top
This Action alleges that in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), Defendants misled investors by misrepresenting the status of the Company's development of EGR diesel engine technology to meet 2010 EPA 0.2 NOx emissions requirements. In particular, it alleges that the Company knowingly or recklessly misrepresented the progress it had made in developing 0.2 NOx EGR technology, and that when the market learned that the Company would abandon EGR technology for an alternative technology, investors were harmed. Defendants have expressly denied, and continue to deny, all the allegations of wrongdoing or liability against them in the Action.
On July 22, 2014, the Court dismissed Lead Plaintiff's Consolidated Amended Complaint without prejudice, granting Lead Plaintiff leave to amend. Then, on July 10, 2015, the Court issued a memorandum and order (the "Motion to Dismiss Order") granting in part and denying in part Defendants' motion to dismiss the Second Consolidated Amended Complaint (the "Complaint"). In the Motion to Dismiss Order, the Court found that Lead Plaintiff adequately alleged violations of the Exchange Act against Defendant Ustian for two of the alleged false statements.
On July 22, 2015, Lead Plaintiff and Defendants informed the Court of their intention to explore a potential resolution of the case. On October 1, 2015, Lead Plaintiff and Defendants participated in a day-long mediation under the auspices of a professional mediator; settlement discussions continued in the weeks that followed. On December 1, 2015, Lead Plaintiff and Defendants informed the Court that a settlement in principle had been reached.Back To Top
Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel believe that the claims asserted against the Defendants have merit. Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel recognize, however, the expense and length of continued proceedings necessary to pursue their claims against the Defendants through continued discovery, trial and appeals, as well as the difficulties in establishing liability. Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel have considered the uncertain outcome of trial and appellate risk in complex lawsuits like this one.
In light of the risks of continued litigation, Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel believe that the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of the Class. Lead Plaintiff and Lead Counsel also believe that the Settlement provides a substantial benefit now, namely Defendants' payment of $9,100,000.00 in cash (less the various deductions described in the Notice), as compared to the risk that the claims would produce a similar, smaller, or no recovery after summary judgment, trial and appeals, possibly years in the future. In this regard, Lead Plaintiff has conducted confirmatory discovery, including the review of documents produced by Defendants.
Defendants have denied and continue to deny the claims alleged in the Action. Defendants also have denied and continue to deny, inter alia, that any member of the Class has suffered any damages; that the price of Navistar common stock was artificially inflated by reason of the alleged misrepresentations, omissions, or otherwise; or that the members of the Class were harmed by the conduct alleged in the Action or that could have been alleged as part of the Action. In addition, the Defendants maintain that they have meritorious defenses to all claims alleged in the Action. Nonetheless, taking into account the uncertainty, risks, and costs inherent in any litigation, especially in complex cases such as this Action, Defendants have concluded that further conduct of the Action could be protracted and distracting. Defendants have, therefore, determined that it is desirable and beneficial to them that the Action be settled in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement.Back To Top
If there were no Settlement and Lead Plaintiff failed to establish any essential legal or factual element of their claims against the Defendants, neither Lead Plaintiff nor members of the Class would recover anything from the Defendants. Also, if the Defendants were successful in proving any of their defenses, the Class likely would recover substantially less than the amount provided in the Settlement, or nothing at all.Back To Top
If you are a member of the Class, you are subject to the Settlement unless you timely request to be excluded. The Class consists of: all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of Navistar International Corporation (ticker symbol: NAV) between March 10, 2010 and August 1, 2012, both dates inclusive; except those persons or entities that timely and validly request exclusion from the Class pursuant to and in accordance with the terms herein. Also excluded from the Class are: Defendants; members of the immediate family of any Defendant; any firm, trust, corporation, or other entity in which any Defendant has or had a controlling interest during the Class Period; the officers and directors of Navistar during the Class Period; the Icahn Group; the MHR Group; and legal representatives, agents, executors, heirs, successors, or assigns of any such excluded person or entity.Back To Top
Navistar, on behalf of all Defendants, has agreed to cause the Settlement Amount to be paid in cash no later than ten (10) business days after the later of: (i) preliminary approval of the Settlement by the District Court, or (ii) receipt by Defendants' Counsel from Lead Counsel of payment instructions. At this time, it is not possible to make any determination as to how much individual Class Members may receive from the Settlement.
The $9,100,000.00 Settlement Amount, and the interest earned thereon while it is held in escrow before distribution, is referred to as the "Settlement Fund." The Settlement Fund, less all taxes, tax expenses, Notice and Administration costs, and attorneys' fees and Litigation Expenses awarded to Lead Counsel (the "Net Settlement Fund"), shall be distributed based on the acceptable Proof of Claim Forms submitted by members of the Class ("Authorized Claimants"). The Net Settlement Fund will be distributed to Authorized Claimants who timely submit acceptable Proof of Claim Forms under the Plan of Allocation described in FAQ 9, or as otherwise ordered by the Court.
Your share of the Net Settlement Fund will depend on the number of shares (represented by valid and acceptable Proof of Claim Forms) that members of the Class submit to the Claims Administrator, relative to the Net Settlement Fund; how many shares you purchased or acquired and when you purchased or acquired them; whether you held or sold those shares; the date on which you sold those shares; and the price at which you sold them, among other factors. At this time, it is not possible to determine how much individual Class Members may receive from the Settlement.
A payment to any Authorized Claimant that would amount to less than $10.00 in total will not be included in the calculation of the Net Settlement Fund, and no payment to those members of the Class will be made.
For each Authorized Claimant, a Recognized Loss will be calculated. The calculation of a Recognized Loss, as defined in the Plan of Allocation in the Notice, is not intended to be an estimate of, nor does it indicate, the amount that a Class Member might have been able to recover after a trial. Nor is the calculation of a Recognized Loss pursuant to the Plan of Allocation an estimate of the amount that will be paid to Authorized Claimants pursuant to the Settlement, which depends on the total amount of all Recognized Losses of all Authorized Claimants. The Recognized Loss formula provides the basis for proportionately allocating the Net Settlement Fund to Authorized Claimants. That computation is only a method to weigh Class Members' claims against one another. Each Authorized Claimant will receive a pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund based on his, her or its Recognized Loss.Back To Top
If the Settlement is approved, the Court will enter a judgment (the "Judgment"). The Judgment will dismiss with prejudice the claims in the Action and will provide that Lead Plaintiff, Norfolk County, and all other Class Members, on behalf of themselves and any of their personal representatives, spouses, domestic partners, trustees, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns (or any other person or entity who has the right, ability, standing, or capacity to assert on behalf of any Class Member any of the Released Claims (or to obtain the proceeds of any recovery therefrom)) shall be deemed to have – and by operation of the Judgment shall have – fully and finally released, dismissed and forever discharged the Released Claims against the Released Parties, and shall forever be enjoined from pursuing any or all Released Claims.
There is a risk that Lead Plaintiff, Norfolk County, and Class Members may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but Lead Plaintiff and Norfolk County shall expressly fully, finally and forever settle and release – and each Class Member shall be deemed to have, and by operation of the Judgment shall have fully, finally and forever settled and released – any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, whether or not concealed or hidden, which now exist, or heretofore have existed, upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future, including, but not limited to, conduct which is negligent, reckless, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts. Such claims are referred to as "Unknown Claims" and include any and all Released Claims, of every nature and description, that Lead Plaintiff, Norfolk County, and/or any Class Member does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of the release of the Released Parties, which if known by him, her or it, might have affected his, her or its settlement with and release of the Released Parties, or might have affected his, her or its decision not to object to this Settlement or not to exclude himself, herself or itself from the Class or to release the Released Claims. Lead Plaintiff and Norfolk County acknowledge, and Class Members by law and operation of the Judgment shall be deemed to have acknowledged, that the inclusion of "Unknown Claims" in the definition of Released Claims was separately bargained for and was a material element of the Settlement.
The Judgment also will provide that the Defendants and each of the other Released Parties shall be deemed to have and by operation of the Judgment shall have fully, finally and forever waived, released, relinquished, discharged and dismissed each and every one of the Settled Defendants' Claims, and shall be forever barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, participating in, maintaining, or continuing to prosecute any action or proceeding in any court of law or equity, arbitration tribunal, administrative forum, or other forum of any kind, asserting any of the Settled Defendants' Claims (including, without limitation, Unknown Claims) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the institution, prosecution, assertion, settlement or resolution of the Action or the Released Claims. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Judgment shall bar any action by any of the Settling Parties to enforce or effectuate the terms of the Settlement, the Preliminary Approval Order, or this Judgment.
"Released Claims" means any and all actions, causes of action, claims (including "Unknown Claims," as defined in the Settlement), duties, debts, demands, rights, disputes, suits, matters, damages, losses, obligations, proceedings, issues, judgments, and liabilities of every nature and description whatsoever (and including, but not limited to, any claims for damages, whether compensatory, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary or otherwise, and any fees, costs, expenses, or charges), whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or unaccrued, matured or unmatured, at law or in equity, whether class, derivative, or individual in nature, whether or not concealed or hidden, which now exist, or heretofore have existed, or can, shall or may exist, whether arising under federal, state, common, statutory, administrative or foreign law, regulation, or at equity, that that Lead Plaintiff, Norfolk County, or any Class Member has asserted in this Action, or could have asserted now or in the future in this Action or in any other proceeding or forum that arise out of, relate to or are based upon, (a) the allegations, claims, transactions, facts, matters, occurrences, events, failures, representations, statements, or omissions alleged, involved, set forth, or referred to in this Action; and (b) the purchase, sale, acquisition or holding of Navistar common stock during the Class Period. Released Claims do not, however, include claims to enforce this Settlement, or claims in any derivative actions currently pending against any of the Released Parties.
"Released Parties" means each Defendant and his, her or its respective past, present or future directors, officers, employees, parents, partners, members, principals, agents, owners, fiduciaries, shareholders, related or affiliated entities, subsidiaries, divisions, accountants, auditors, attorneys, associates, consultants, advisors, insurers, co-insurers, reinsurers, trustees, estates, beneficiaries, administrators, foundations, underwriters, banks or bankers, personal or legal representatives, divisions, joint ventures, spouses, domestic partners, family members, heirs, executors, or any other person or entity acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of any of the Defendants, and each of their respective predecessors, successors and assigns, and any trusts for which any of them are trustees, settlors, or beneficiaries.Back To Top
Lead Counsel has not received any payment for its services in pursuing claims against Defendants on behalf of the Class, nor has Lead Counsel been reimbursed for its out-of-pocket expenses. Before final approval of the Settlement, Lead Counsel intends to apply to the Court for an award of attorneys' fees from the Settlement Fund in an amount not to exceed 22% of the Settlement Fund (or $2,002,000.00), plus interest at the same rate and for the same time period as earned by the Settlement Fund. At the same time, Lead Counsel also intends to apply for the reimbursement of certain expenses paid or incurred in connection with the prosecution and resolution of the Action in an amount not to exceed $275,000.00, plus interest at the same rate and for the same time period as earned by the Settlement Fund. In addition, Lead Counsel may also apply for reimbursements for, among other things, litigation-related expenses of Lead Plaintiff in accordance with 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(4) not to exceed $10,000.00. The sums approved by the Court will be paid from the Settlement Fund. Class Members are not personally liable for the payment of these sums.Back To Top

"Once more into the breach dear friends"
A classic quote from Shakespeare's King Henry V act III. Referring to a battle set in France. He was trying to rally his troops to defend a hole in the wall that had been under siege over and over again. This would have required tremendous courage given the circumstances. Mike, what the hell does this have to do with marriage? That's an impeccable question, I'm glad you asked. Marriage is not for the weak or the easily intimidated. The role of husband is a prestigious title reserved for those who are willing to face the unknown with courage and a spirit of determination to run towards a fire instead of away from it. The prize for this valor is the chance to inherit a life and existence that few ever realize because they quit too soon. We will talk today about facing the challenges of marriage and charging into the breach once more.
Are you calling me a punk?
No sir, a term such as this is exclusively reserved for the squeamish, the cowardly and the fearful. What I am calling you, is to action. Not the kind of action where you are instructed to ram your head into a brick wall and when it doesn't budge you are aggressively encouraged to try harder. I'm calling you to the type of action that says "Hey that wall needs to go and I need to investigate and figure what it will take to make it go away." This takes courage, I mean real unfiltered courage. Not the courage you displayed when your stupid friends dared you to ride your bike off the roof, onto the trampoline and into the pool. Nor is it the type of courage you were asked to display when you got dared to mix all of your school lunch together, milk included, into once big pile of slop and then eat it. Those shenanigans were childish.
The courage I'm talking about is the kind that allows you to admit that you made a mistake when you got her a new vacuum for her birthday because she was always muttering to herself that "something has got to change around here" as you lifted your feet up so she could get between the couch and coffee table. Better yet, it is the courage to not let your ego get the best of you when invited out to party with the fellas. You've got to remember that you have a family waiting at home. Instead you fall for the head-fake when some lonely biker at happy hour challenges you to an atomic hot wings eating contest. Sure you beat him and earned a t-shirt, but you always won several trips to the bathroom during a sold-out show that your wife has been waiting 6 months to see. Now every standing ovation could lead to a small disaster.
Fight or Flight
All creatures have a survival instinct that engages whenever a hostile situation erupts and there are only two choices available to you. You can engage and fight or if you are uncertain about victory you can retreat and run away. Many of us might say that we aren't afraid of anyone or anything. Sounds great and looks really awesome on t-shirts, but I have always found it very interesting that the same guy that will jump in front of a bullet is too afraid to tell his wife that she hurt his feelings. Where did all the machismo go? I'll tell you where it went. It's on a thirty minute union break because dealing with our emotions wasn't a part of our labor agreement. I've come to understand that men are no less emotional than women, they just express their feelings in a much different manner. Far too often men find themselves in a tough conversation with their wife and wrestle to find the words to express what is going on inside of them and so they press pause until they can find a safe and familiar place to release them. Professor Mike can you give us an example? Gladly!
These are some of the most frequent destinations for our bruised egos or battered emotions:
- The gym- here you can throw some weight and release some pressure then, spend 20 minutes in the mirror reassuring yourself that you are still a force of nature.
- The local Bar- In here you can tell your problems to the On-Site counselors Jack Daniels, Don Julio and Captain Morgan. Perhaps you've heard of them.
- On-line gaming- Nothing helps you feel better about yourself than whooping some 12 year old in Singapore in a sudden death match of Halo or Call of Duty.
- The Homies- These guys always have your back and will defend you to the hilt, particularly since you only tell them half the story which is how much of a monster your wife is. Never mind what you did.
By now you get the point. Guys don't break out wine and tissue, they break records down at the local rec-center fueled by disappointment and frustration.
How can we be better?
It has always been a matter of tradition for us to learn how to suppress our emotions and feelings like a hot fart during a sales meeting. If keeping them under the surface didn't work there was always the very direct and effective use of force. Any guy who played high school football remembers that one time he got the fire knocked out of him and almost cried. The hazing that took place over the next three weeks would be atrocious. The lesson here is that no matter how much you are hurting, nobody cares or wants to know about it. This is one of many moments where we learn how to master the art of suffering in silence.
So how do we reprogram ourselves after such an intense practice? It won't be easy but we have to understand what the reason and reward would be for doing such a thing. Through our silent suffering we gained membership into the club, which validated our identity as one of the tough guys. The problem is that this skillset doesn't serve a marriage very well because your buddies never required you to be vulnerable except for when you're drunk so they can write on your face while you're passed out. A woman is ever waiting along-side her husband waiting to do something beautiful in his life but she needs to be able to plugin and connect. Too often we prevent that connection by having one of those baby-proof plug covers you see on electrical outlets and just like in real-life, getting that cover off is a pain in the ass. However, for those of us who manage to get that cap off and allow our wives access to our hearts, we tend to have a significantly better experience from day to day.
In closing, I want you to be encouraged that having courage in your marriage is essential to overcoming some of the challenges in marriage. There is no shame in telling your wife that her words are stinging you. There is no shame in owning up to a mistake and allowing her to be a part of the recovery. There is no shame in not knowing what the hell to do because you can find out together.
The only real shame here is not trying.

1) Colbey never got the card back from the Sheriff in Driftwood.
2) How does Scot know her name?
3) Who sent him?
You can fill in some major blanks by downloading the Arc 5 extension! It's a PDF, 11 pages long, 1 illustration per page, narrated by Colbey, and while not necessary to the story, it DOES serve to connect certain dots. Five dollah five dollah.
You will be FORWARDED after purchase to the PDF.
Otherwise, I'm too tired to think right now, I really need some sleep and instead all I want to do is read more Dresden Files to gear up for the release of Ghost Story. Priorities. Damn.

I have it in my heart to adopt in the future (right now, 5 kids under 6 in a renovators delight have us completely occupied - we will start moving toward homestudies etc. when we have internal walls) and I have been seeking REAL insight into what we would be looking at as a family. Your blog and vids have given me a dose of reality, but also a dose of hope that maybe I'm not that crazy - No, more, maybe it isn't so bad to be this crazy!
Oh and the boobie pics are FABULOUS! So many remind me of past feeding days and feeding days to come. It's motherhood in the raw and effects me on a level beyond words.

The latest Internet Explorer 10 is available as part of the Windows 8 Release Preview.
This release marks the sixth IE10 Platform Preview and there's no doubt that the big news is the integrated Flash Player, something Microsoft originally planned to leave out of the tablet-friendly Metro version of IE10. Now the company has changed its mind about Flash. Dean Hachamovitch, Internet Explorer VP, writes on the The IEBlog:
We believe that having more sites "just work" in the Metro style browser improves the experience for consumers and businesses alike. As a practical matter, the primary device you walk around with should play the web content on sites you rely on. Otherwise, the device is just a companion to a PC. Because some popular web sites require Adobe Flash and do not offer HTML5 alternatives, Adobe and Microsoft worked together closely to deliver a Flash Player suitable for the Metro style experience.
Hachamovitch also notes that Microsoft worked directly with Adobe to optimize an embedded version of Flash for the Metro interface. That means not only is it reportedly less battery-hungry, but the Flash player in IE10 Metro supports touch gestures like double-tap and pinch-to-zoom so the Flash experience will be consistent with everything else in Windows 8's tablet interface.
While IE10 Metro will indeed support Flash, developers shouldn't expect Flash to work everywhere. Instead, Metro IE10's Flash support is more of a last-ditch effort to make sure that big-name legacy sites with popular content will work on any future Windows 8 tablets. "While any site can play Flash content in IE10 on the Windows desktop," writes Hachamovitch, "only sites that are on the Compatibility View list can play Flash content within Metro style IE."
In other words, don't start building web-based Flash games and expect them to run on Windows 8 tablets.
Flash isn't the only new trick up IE10's sleeve; in fact, in the long run the far bigger change may be Microsoft's support for the "Do Not Track" header, a user privacy tool originally created by Mozilla that is in the process of becoming a web standard. Not only does IE10 send the Do Not Track header, but Microsoft has turned it on by default.
While Safari, Firefox and Opera also support Do Not Track, all of them leave it to users to turn on the feature. Google has pledged to support Do Not Track in Chrome, but thus far does not.
Turning Do Not Track on by default helps protect users' privacy, but it also makes for a rather direct attack on one of Microsoft's chief rivals – Google. Wired's Threat Level blog has more on what the Do Not Track features may mean for the future of online advertising.
Web developers take note, the latest version of IE10 adds support for non-vendor prefixed versions of standards that have reached W3C's Candidate Recommendation stage. That means IE10 will support CSS transitions, transforms, animations, gradients, and the font-feature-settings property without the
-ms- prefix. (The prefixed versions will continue to be supported as well.)
There's quite a few other new features in the sixth preview of IE10, including performance enhancements that Microsoft claims will make IE10 "fast and fluid while panning, zooming, and scaling content" through a touch interface. You can test out the company's Chalkboard demo, a panning, zooming, content-scaling stress test for browsers. Without a Windows 8 tablet to test on, it's impossible to tell just how fast IE10 will be in real-world browsing on an actual tablet, but you can get some idea of what the experience might be like in the Microsoft video below. For more details on other new features in IE10, be sure to check out the IEBlog announcement.
Microsoft has released a new preview of Internet Explorer 10, a major upgrade to the company's flagship web browser. As was rumored, the latest IE10 preview includes a fully integrated, touch-optimized version of Adobe's Flash Player.

Fred Sokolow is best known as the author of a library of instructional books and DVDs for guitar, banjo, Dobro, mandolin, lap steel and ukulele. There are currently over a hundred of his books or DVDs in print, sold all over the world. Fred has long been a well-known West Coast multi-string performer and recording artist, particularly on the acoustic music scene. The diverse musical genres covered in his books and DVDs, along with several bluegrass, jazz and rock CDs he has released, demonstrate his mastery of many musical styles. Whether he's playing Delta bottleneck blues, bluegrass or old-time banjo, 30s swing guitar or screaming rock solos, he does it with authenticity and passion.
Born in Los Angeles September 14, 1945, by the early 1960s Fred was well known in the California bluegrass scene, playing with Jody Stecher, Brantley Kearns, Sandy Rothman and Eric Thompson. Relocating to Berkeley, he toured and recorded with a hippie rock band throughout most of the 60s, the Bay Area-based Notes From the Underground (Vanguard Records). In the early 70s Fred performed with R&B, rock, country and bluegrass bands. By 1975 Fred had played with bluegrass luminaries like John Herald, Frank Wakefield and Jerry Garcia, had opened for the Dead, the Doors, B.B. King, Country Joe and the Fish and countless other acts.
In this instructional DVD, Fred teaches you how to fingerpick eight all-time blues classics. Most of them come from the old school of blues performers like Memphis Minnie, Big Bill Broonzy, Mance Lipscomb and Bessie Smith, but there are also a few songs from urban R&B artists like Louis Jordan and Charles Brown. Every tune is a standard that has been covered by countless artists; you'll find out where Led Zeppelin got When the Levee Breaks, and what Come Back Baby sounded like before Ray Charles jazzed it up. You'll also appreciate the variety of sounds encompassed by the term "blues."
Fred shows you how to accompany yourself singing the songs, and how to fingerpick an instrumental version of each one. His easy-going instructional style, his tips on playing the arrangements, and his slowed-down, split-screen performances of each tune make learning easy. All the arrangements are written out in tab and music as well…both the backup and solos.
Titles include: Come Back Baby, When the Levee Breaks, Saint James Infirmary Blues, In the Evening When the Sun Goes Down, A Good Man Is Hard to Find, Oh Daddy, Let the Good Times Roll and Black Night
116 minutes • Level 2 • Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD
Review: One of Fred Sokolow's best lessons. This DVD lesson is a gem. While the DVD is entitled "Beginners Fingerpicking Blues Classics" the arrangements certainly don't sound like beginner's stuff. Sokolow, who plays a spectacular New Era Senorita steel-string guitar on this DVD, presents a tasty bunch of blues classics that cover a lot of different styles (like alternating bass, monotonic bass like Mance Lipscomb, songs that use some jazzy chords). I like especially the modern urban blues arrangement of Charles Brown's 1951 hit "Black Night"where he changed the line "my brother is in Korea" to "my brother is in Afghanistan" explaining there is "never any shortage of wars to bring a tune up-to-date."
Each song is being taught according to the same pattern: First, there is a full-fledged performance of the tune, then Sokolow goes step by step through the arrangement explaining what to look out for. Lastly, there is a split-screen version of each tune where he plays the arrangement in slow speed.
Every song has a backup part for accompanying your singing and an instrumental part where you pick out a solo. In that way, you can really show off when playing and singing these tunes to others!
There is also a tab included that meticulously transcribes the split-screen versions. Please be aware that the split-screen versions are not exactly the same as the performance versions, but rather kind of abbreviated versions. Therefore, if you are interested in a particular lick that he used in the performance version, you won't find it in the tab unless he repeated the lick in the split-screen version. This is not always the case, however, for Sokolow never plays a song the same way twice.
A last remark on Fred Sokolow's teaching style: He is a very calm person, not without humor, and highly cultivated. He follows a no-nonsense teaching approach that works very fine for me. All in all: Highly recommended. – Bonifatius/Amazon Customer Review

Communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs
Paris, December 1 2009
Saber Lahmar, an Algerian national, arrived in France today from the Guantanamo detention centre where he had been held since 2002.
The courts of several countries, including that of the United States which ordered his release, recognized M. Lahmar to be innocent of any charges relating to involvement in potential terrorist activities. His case was examined by the US and French authorities in the light of the legal and security implications.
By deciding to accept a second former detainee, France is therefore helping, like other European and non-European States, to implement the decision taken by President Obama, following his inauguration, to close the Guantanamo detention centre. We have chosen to lend our support to the implementation of this decision, which meets an expectation the European Union has been voicing for a long time.
Starting today, efforts have to focus on helping M. Lahmar's integration into France. After being held for seven years in Guantanamo, M. Lahmar can finally resume a normal life. For this, he must be afforded, during the coming weeks, the necessary conditions of calm and security./.

After the Confederate victory at Richmond, Kentucky at the end of August, Gen. Braxton Bragg continued to operate in the strategic border state and moved his army to cover pursuing Union army routes in the area. Munfordville, with its 1,800-foot-long railroad bridge over the Green River, was a key station on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad and therefore of great military importance. Approaching the town on September 14th, Brig. Gen. James R. Chalmers urged Union Col. John T. Wilder to surrender his 4,000-man garrison. Wilder instead elected to "try fighting for a while" and repulsed Chalmers' initial attacks, losing just 37 to the Rebels' 283. After two days of siege operations, the Confederates, realizing that Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell's Union army was near, again urged surrender. Under a flag of truce, a blindfolded Wilder entered enemy lines late on the 16th. After viewing the Rebel positions, Wilder concluded that he ought to surrender. The formal ceremony occurred the next day on the 17th. The Federals surrendered more than 4,000 prisoners, 5,000 rifles, a large quantity of ammunition and many horses and mules. The Confederates withdrew before Buell's army arrived and burned the bridge behind them, but would meet Buell in the decisive battle at Perryville three weeks later.

We aren't the only comments on archwing, but the thread has run mostly steady for quite a long time and yet only one change was made. Archwing is still trying to make the six degrees work well and be useful, but it just can't get the attention it needs to make it worthwhile. The drifting and rotation are not the worse things ever, but they are disorienting and clumsy. It make archwing more difficult then it needs to be and reduces the flow of the mode. It is very much it's own game rather then just a mode in Warframe. It needs it's own attention and to be shuffled loose from Warframe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
