As hindsights and "what-ifs" about the Columbia disaster continue to accumulate, questions just won't go away about what, if anything, NASA might have been able to do to prevent the catastrophe had it known in advance how bad was the damage to the wing.
The movie "Apollo-13" is essentially a quite accurate account of what Mission Control is capable of in a space emergency. But most of the "emergency" procedures depicted in the film weren't on-the-spot improvisations. They were actually the fruits of a lengthy preparatory process in which flight controllers, hardware engineers and astronauts engage in "practice what-iffing" well in advance of the flight.
I used to do it myself. Until leaving the job in 1997, I flew shuttle missions from Mission Control. I was there from the first drop tests of "Enterprise" to the first orbital missions of :Columbia" in 1981. Then I helped prepare and perform Challenger's first orbital maneuvers and rendezvous missions with other satellites, all the way to designing the orbital choreography of the initial International Space Station linkup. We had our share of worries and emergencies, and fast thinking usually made the difference.
Leroy Cain, the NASA flight director on duty when Columbia was lost, told me recently that "what-iffing" was still a serious part of preparing for every space mission.
"We went through many difficult failures and tried out many recovery procedures in training," he said, "and that prepared us to react constructively to a real crisis."
"In hindsight we now know that many of the things we did were futile," he said. "On a different day, they wouldn't have been."
But what could have been done? As the nature of the Columbia catastrophe became clear, thousands of engineers and space enthusiasts across the country joined Cain's colleagues in trying to think of emergency procedures that might have made a difference in the flight's outcome.
Could the crew have inspected, or even repaired, the damage? Could they have changed course and taken shelter aboard the International Space Station? Was there a "softer" way to hit the atmosphere, perhaps by leading with the sound wing to give some relief to the damaged one? Or could they have been rescued by another shuttle? These ideas occurred independently to thousands of people.
Scenario one: A spacewalk
Take, for example, the idea of making a spacewalk to inspect the area of suspected damage. NASA officials said there was no proven method of doing that, since the two spacesuits on board were only there for repairs inside the payload bay. The crew had no jet backpacks to fly around the shuttle, and no robot arm to position themselves in sight of the bottom.
But the flight controllers I've talked with after the disaster had no doubts they could have thrown together a workable plan in a day or two, if asked. They would have first completely checked it out in ground simulation facilities, such as the giant water tank where floating spacesuited astronauts mimic zero gravity, and then told the crew what to do.
The trick would be to break some safety rules, but not too many. One astronaut would unhook his or her safety line from the shuttle, and the shuttle would fire its thrusters to gently move about 200 feet away. It then would roll 180 degrees, turning its belly to the free-floating astronaut. Sure, he or she would probably be slowly turning end over end in space. But he or she would be able to eyeball the area of suspected damage and take digital still images and zoomed video. Then the shuttle would slowly roll another 180 degrees and move back to retrieve the astronaut, like a giant catcher's mitt enveloping a pop foul.
The flight controllers I talked to were horrified by the Columbia disaster, but frustrated as well.
"We never got a chance to do what we do best," one spacewalk expert lamented.
They had notebooks full of tricks, and minds trained to generate new ones as needed. They just didn't have time, this time, to even try.
But would such an inspection have revealed anything? Whether through an astronaut's eyes or the lens of a small self-propelled space spy camera, through a spy satellite or ground-based surveillance telescope, any insight would only have been as good as the actual view. But what was there to see?
It appears that many of tiles came off the shuttle as it flew over California, indicating that perhaps few, if any, had originally been knocked completely free during launch. Many others may have been damaged but remained in place, which would deceive any visual inspection.
Space station out of reach
Flying over to the International Space Station, either to get inspected by its crew, or to seek shelter there, was never an option. Such a flight was physically impossible because the orbits of the station and the shuttle were in different directions through space. Where their paths crossed, they were at angles too sharp for the shuttle's limited rocket fuel to "turn the corner" and match orbits.
This situation wasn't the arbitrary result of blind choice. The station is in a northerly orbit that allows access from Russia's rocket base in Kazakhstan — and that access is now the station's only lifeline. The 16-day Columbia mission was on a flight path designed to let it launch and land during daylight at Cape Canaveral, a powerful safety concern. The different requirements demanded incompatible orbits.
Scenario two: Flying differently
Was there a gentler way to fly Columbia back into the atmosphere? Cain was asked last week by reporters if there were some alternate flying tricks that might have relieved, at least in part, the thermal stress on the left wing.
For example, if the left wing's thermal protection was known to be compromised, could the shuttle enter the atmosphere "crabbed" a little to the side? It would scorch the heck out of the right wing that tilted into the fire, but would it have made a difference for the injured left wing?
"It's theoretically possible," Cain said, but added that his teammates didn't think it would have worked because such a move would have only a small effect on the heat load.
"There are lots of things you can do," he said, "but they don't necessarily solve your problem."
Worse, Cain said, "You just lead to potentially other problems."
In this case, the "good" wing might have scorched through its own tiles, damaged its steering jets or suffered some other unanticipated damage. The balance of an unknown pile of new risks vs. an uncertain current risk would have been a decision nightmare.
Scenarios three: Rescue shuttle
Another suggested scenario was rescue by another shuttle. If Columbia could have stayed in space long enough, and kept its crew alive long enough, perhaps the next scheduled shuttle mission could have reached it.
This sort of space rescue is the stuff of which science fiction movies are made — and, in fact, one was, the 1969 film "Marooned." And it's the sort of "impossible" contingency that the Mission Control team (and their "bolt-turner" buddies on the launch crews at Cape Canaveral) could really sink their teeth into.
Maybe the next shuttle, scheduled for a flight in March, could have been accelerated to launch in less than two weeks. Major shortcuts and added risks would have been required. Fueling would have been more hazardous and equipment less thoroughly checked. Work shifts would have been long and would overlap, threatening procedural oversights.
Meanwhile, once it was determined that Columbia was badly — even mortally — wounded and could not safely return to Earth, it could be sacrificed to save its crew. Major systems could be powered down to conserve electricity (they would be ruined by the cold of space, but no matter).
Keeping the crew alive that long wouldn't have been easy. The "long pole" would have been the chemicals to absorb the astronauts' exhaled carbon dioxide. This is the gas that kills people in closed spaces, such as children trapped in old refrigerators. Carbon dioxide accumulates in your blood and turns acidic, killing your brain cells.
There is only a finite supply of CO2-absorbing canisters on any shuttle mission. Even if old ones were dug out of the trash and CO2 levels were allowed to get so high as to be painful, a cold-blooded calculus could have told NASA that there wouldn't be enough air cleaning supplies for all seven astronauts to wait for the earliest-possible shuttle rescue. That's when "short-straw time" arrives, and we move back into science fiction.
No time
But on the day that Columbia was lost, there was no time to invent a new procedure or to try something utterly innovative and amazing that had been dreamed up in anticipation of such a bad day. The continuing agony of the Mission Control team, and of all space workers, is to ask what indicators they overlooked or misinterpreted, if any. Did they miss an opportunity to "what-if" their way around the crisis, to try something, anything, to break the chain of disaster? Or — and it is a meager consolation — was this just the kind of bad day that even Mission Control was powerless to forestall?
James Oberg, space analyst for NBC News, spent 22 years at the Johnson Space Center as a Mission Control operator and an orbital designer.

SHELBY COUNTY, TN – The Shelby County Health Department's Mosquito Control Program routinely traps and tests mosquitoes for the presence of West Nile virus (WNV). Mosquitoes positive for the West Nile Virus have been identified in the following zip codes in Shelby County: 38016, 38107, 38108, 38109, 38115, 38122, 38126, 38128, 38133, 38134, 38135, and 38141. See map: http://arcg.is/1P1efD.
Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus to humans when they bite them. Residents of zip codes where the virus has been detected are advised to be especially careful to avoid mosquito bites.
Since February, the Shelby County Health Department's Mosquito Control Program has treated areas by applying larvicides to standing bodies of water. These actions are consistent with efforts to be proactive in decreasing the adult mosquito population. Larviciding is the practice of applying an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered insecticide to areas where mosquito breeding has been confirmed. It is the most effective way of eliminating mosquito populations. Please view our ArcGIS story map that details our mosquito control prevention work.
SCHD will conduct mosquito control activities, including truck-mounted spraying (adulticiding) of EPA-approved insecticides, weather permitting*, in specific ZIP codes where the West Nile virus has been detected, and portions of adjoining zip codes, according to the following schedule:
Monday, July 20, 2020: 8:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.Zip Codes: 38128, 38135, 38053, 38002, 38004Route Map: https://arcg.is/1SmC8n
Tuesday, July 21, 2020:8:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.Zip Codes: 38109, 38106, 38114, 38111Route Map: https://arcg.is/CDbry1
Wednesday, July 22, 2020:
8:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.
ZIP Codes: 38109, 38116, 38106, 38114, 38132, 38111, 38118

Go to www.shelbytnhealth.com to view the most current schedule and the exact boundaries of each scheduled spray. New maps will be added weekly to reflect updated schedules.
Truck mounted spraying only effectively kills adult mosquitoes currently flying at the time the insecticide is sprayed. Because of this, residents are highly encouraged to be vigilant as it relates to controlling mosquito populations around their homes and businesses and preventing mosquito bites. Individuals are encouraged to practice the 4 D's:
· DEFEND yourself by using insect repellent with DEET. Follow label instructions.
· DRESS in long sleeves and pants. Wear loose and light colored clothing when outdoors.
· DUSK/DAWN is the time when mosquitoes are most active. Stay indoors.
· DRAIN standing water and install or repair window screens.
Individuals with chronic health problems such as asthma or other lung conditions may want to remain indoors during the time of spraying. Citizens who do not want their residences to be sprayed should contact the Vector Control Program by emailing email@example.com or calling (901) 222-9715.
* To ensure the insecticide is most effective, the scheduled spraying will be canceled if any of the following weather conditions are present for the majority of the schedule spray time:
Follow @ShelbyTNHealth on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for the most up-to-date cancelations of any scheduled sprayings.

Well, while we were in the car, and we were thinking about how to express this feeling, we started looking for examples. At the time, we couldn't find any. But then we watched Pyar Ka Mausam, and now we have a lot.
Pyar Ka Mausam (The Season of Love) has many moments which fill us with this happy light. It's not really funny, though we did laugh at some points, nor is it a particularly amazing film (we ended up playing Sudoku in the non-Shashi scenes and fastforwarding through the songs during the end, we were that unengaged). But there were some things that just made us glow in that internal way, like a lightbug. We will now list them, just to ruin it for you. Ha ha.
- The scene when Sunil (Shashi Kapoor) cons his way into a 1960s mod picnic. As he walks up to the group of youngsters, a gaggle of mod girls (the Pink Ladies?) look over their sunglasses and exclaim, "Hey, who's that hot guy? Why, he looks just like Shashi Kapoor." (We kid you not.)
- Later in the same scene, when Sunil indicates a nearby field and says, "Look. See those women working in the field?" And all the workers stand up at attention.
- A bit later in the same scene, when Sunil challenges Girl Lead to a singing duel. "Ha, well you're no Lata Mangeshkar!" he boasts. "And you're no Mohammad Rafi!" she retaliates. And then the song starts, and it's sung by Lata and Mohammad.
- The play-within-a-film which introduces us to Girl Lead's suitors, who end up materializing in the film itself.
- Shashi breaking the fourth wall a number of times, but especially during the gypsy song.
- Actually, the gypsy song altogether. WTF?

Why being a sysadmin will help you do Science!
A complaint I once heard about SIPB is that it leans too much towards the system administration side: we proudly display the services we have deployed and neglect to talk very much about actually programming or conducting novel computer science research (despite the fact that we are very much programmers and some of us are quite research oriented.) So if you're really not at all interested in that sort of thing (like me) you might think to yourself, "That's very nice" and go and do something else.
I think this is a mistake, and that even a short period of time administrating a system larger than your personal laptop can be tremendously helpful for any work with computers you may do, whether it's software engineering or computer science. System administration is advanced computer literacy, it's a bit like knowing how to operate a complicated telescope. Sure, it has nothing to do with actually studying the stars or the fundamental nature of computation, but you'll sure get a lot more done if you're not fumbling with your equipment. System administration is what we do to get other things done.
"Sure," you may say, "but any practicing software engineer or computer scientist will pick up the bits and pieces of system administration they need to know." Yes, but I will argue that unless you actively seek out sysadmin tasks, the set of skills you acquire will be the bare minimum to get what you need done. Much like strength training, you are only actively gaining sysadmin skills when you've been pushed beyond what you're ordinarily capable of. But unlike strength training, the benefits don't go away after you're done: you keep using the tricks you learned for everyday tasks. And what better way to push yourself further than to administrate a system for others?
To which I say, SIPB is a fantastic opportunity for this sort of work. It's rare to be able to work on systems of this size and scope as an undergraduate: class projects don't even come close. And if you're a graduate student, you may be building complex systems but you may also be the only one using them, and having users is an enlightening experience (despite the fact that we sometimes complain, "Can we deprecate users?")
Here are some personal perks that I've picked up from SIPB:
- I now know how to RAID two disks together, forced to learn how to do so because of standard operating procedure in our project. It's not something that I would have gone out and done before, but now I consider it essential to any new physical server I setup. Because, for disk failure, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when.
- I now know how to effectively source dive code. I've used this to help communicate more effectively with upstream, fix bugs, add features, fill in for missing documentation, and more.
- I understand how the MIT Athena infrastructure works at a much more fundamental level.

Work in Progress Lyrics
Artist: Nappy Roots
Album: Wooden Leather
[Intro, spoken: B Stille]
Wise words being spoke
Y'all know what it is
Nap-Nappy Roots. Can I start this one off? Ok
[Verse One-B. Stille]
Each day I listen what the streets say
Like a DJ my negroes scratch ghetto recordings, for my peoples
Got the eyes of an eagle, can't see us ever being at peace for a reason
Cause we ain't never being equal
And got us believing we heathens, uncivil soldiers of evil
Reach up and assume the position, you know the procedure
Can't even leisure smoke hollow reefer
With out police and search and seizure by the same police who murdered Ceaser
It's brutal
Seeing them treat us like lower creatures than human beings
More so like aliens
Touring the land of Europeans
Seeming to have the tendency to think we ignorant
Cause of our pigment, can't take away a nigga's dignity though
Still I pimp the industry hoe
And even when I'm rich I'm a pretend to be poor
My life's a work in progress, soon to be end of the road
But I don't stress cause I have been her before, you know
My life's a work in progress
(and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
(but I don't stress cause I have been here before)
My life's a work in progress
(and even though I'm rich I'm gonna pretend to be poor)
My life's a work in progress
(but I don't stress cause I have been here before)
[Verse two-Ron Clutch]
In life
Every step you take
Every right every left you make
You can look at it like chess in a way
Cause life is best when you take your time
Don't make a move, unless you done made up your mind
Play by the rules, don't ever play the fool
Sometimes you play and lose but you still pay your dues
Come on
Everybody knows the cost to be the boss
Yea the price is kind of steep but sacrifice is never cheap
I learned that life can be sweet and bitter at the same time
It's the Ying verse the Yang, sorta like rain without shine
Sometimes against the grain you grind gotta grit your teeth and bear it
Matthew 5, verse 5 "The earth the meek shall inherit"
Cherish the day before you perish away
Cause who can say how many days your power last?
It's like a crack in your hourglass
In a flash, the hours pass
Then you're gone
[Verse three-Big V]
Long life living (?) will bring you close you dying
The more laughs one had will bring you close to crying
Cold unforgiving planet, yea it is
Racists, communicating those who wrong did
I daydream back to the 80's when we was all kids
A stab wound kidnapping (?) experience
Though at the time not a glock would blow in da wind
It's a good day in the hood to witness a stabbing
Now stories told to us, without tragedy
Seem like it involve bloodshed automatically
If you ever get a chance, just stop and use your mind
Observe the world for yourself and just check your time
Yeah, Oh, Yeah, that's right
([Scratched:] my life's a work in progress)
Smoke something with your country people
Drank something with your country people
([Scratched:] my life's a work in progress)
Thinking back in Junior high when sex was the shit
Fein pussy now a day can get you killed quick
'Bout shootin ball in now they 'bout getting licks
I'm playin Nappy Roots just to hear the realest shit
Expect it to the best of my know how and my rapping wit
See next to nothing sugar coated in these cold streets
Whatever you do, be smart, tote your heat
Did I mention if you don't work you don't eat
If you ever get a chance stop and use your mind
Observe the world for yourself and check the time
Yea, Smoke something with your country people

Drink of the Week: Bitters & Blonde
After kinda sorta creating four new classic cinema inspired cocktails, I'm definitely ready to take it easy this week with a cocktail that's about as simple as cocktails get. It's actually worse that that because I readily admit that this oh-so-easy recipe has been spoon-fed to me, along with some very nice photography and Papa Pilar's rather exquisite Blonde Rum.
I've featured this outstanding new brand before but it deserves another go. It's truly flavorful stuff, no mere mixer, with a delightful mega-hints of vanilla and molasses. It's part of an exciting trend of new high-end rums, and we'll be working with some more of those in the not very distant future.
In the meantime, just to show you I'm not entirely a tool of big premium booze, I'll admit that I don't think this week's drink is necessarily the absolute best way to enjoy Papa Pilar's Blonde Rum. On the other hand, it's a very nice way to enjoy it and perfect for the heat wave that's engulfing Southern California as I write today's post. If only it could fix my air conditioning.
Bitters & Blonde
1 1/2 ounces Papa Pilar's Blonde Rum
3 ounces ginger beer
Angostura or other aromatic bitters
1 lime wedge (garnish)
Build this drink over plentiful crushed ice in a Tom Collins glass. Add the rum and the ginger beer and, if you feel the need, stir gently. (They'll get together on their own even if you don't.) Top with as much bitters as you think wise and stir no more. Toss in the lime wedge if you like.
You sip this cocktail through the bitters in the same you sip through the cream at the top of an Irish coffee. As you enjoy the icy concoction toast the fact that, while you might have to crush your own ice to follow this recipe strictly, at least you probably don't have to buy it from an ice man like your great-grandpa had to.
As I alluded to just now, the only slightly tricky aspect of this drink is coming up with the crushed ice if, like me, you don't have a crushed ice-maker and are making an aversion to blenders into your personal trademark. What works best for me these days is putting ice into a plastic bag and whacking it with a hammer-like implement of some sort…but not too hard. You don't want to break the bag and send all the ice flying, which happens a great deal of the time if you're not careful.
I tried Bitters & Blonde with a few different brands of ginger beer — a generally delicious product that also happens to be just as expensive as many brands of actual beer. All my attempts came out about the same regardless of the ginger beer though, and that's because the bitters tend to dominate. In fact, I enjoyed my Bitters & Blonde more when I switched from uber-ubiquitous Angostura to Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Aromatic Bitters. I found it imparted an almost peppermint-like back taste that worked well with the rest of it.
Still, this drink might not be for you if you're not mad about bitters. If you prefer a more subtle use of the stuff — and even if you don't — may I suggest an Old Fashioned with the Papa Pilar Blonde?
Just muddle a teaspoon full of sugar (I used turbinado) with just a dash or two of bitters (Fee Brothers, I'd suggest) and an orange slice in a rocks glass. Next, add two teaspoons of soda water and lots of ice, and, finally 2 ounces of the Papa Pilar's Blonde and stir. If you can go wrong with that one, I have no help for you.

I have Halo 2 for Windows Vista and I'm considering upgrading to Windows 7.
Will Halo 2 run on Windows 7, or is it Windows Vista only?
EDIT: An update on this post: I was not able to make it work on a Windows 7 system (as predicted by the Bungie post linked by @Sean). However, it installed and ran perfectly with no problems on a new Windows 8 laptop.

This article is more than 1 year old
Twitter update: @regsecurity – The Reg bags imposter
It's ours, all ours ...
After a flurry of activity, we have gained control of @elreg, a Twitter fan feed with about 5,000 followers. Thank you, Adam Wood, for looking after that for us. We have also gained @theregister and @regsecurity after filing trademark abuse reports with Twitter. Thank you, Twitter.
@theregister was a moribund RSS-to-Twitter feed that stopped working in 2009, with about 2,500 followers.
@regsecurity is another RSS-to-Twitter feed, but very active. And this bugged us a lot. Whoever operated the account masqueraded as us, used our vulture logo, quoted our location and, worse, followed almost 2,000 people. In return it was followed by more than 6,000 people.
Anyway, @regsecurity is now ours, and you will have to sign up again, we're afraid. Like its doppelganger, this points to our security news. But no pretences this time – and we might even reply to comments on this feed.
As for @regvulture, @theregister and @elreg – they are all pointing to the same RSS-to-Twitter feed until we figure out what goes where.
All suggestions welcome. ®

"Chapter 7: Personal, Abiding Testimony," Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant (2011), 62–70
"Chapter 7," Teachings: Heber J. Grant, 62–70
Chapter 7
Personal, Abiding Testimony
As we live the gospel of Jesus Christ, we grow in our knowledge of the truth and our ability to serve the Lord.
From the Life of Heber J. Grant
Heber J. Grant's testimony of the restored gospel began to take root when he was a child. Later in his life, he frequently expressed gratitude for the teachers and leaders who had nurtured his developing testimony. He was especially grateful to his mother. "I stand here today as the president of the Church," he once said, "because I have followed the advice and counsel and the burning testimony of the divinity of the work of God, which came to me from my mother."1
As he grew up, his testimony increased. He told of the witness he received while studying the Book of Mormon: "As a boy of about fifteen I read, carefully and prayerfully, the Book of Mormon, and there came into my heart an abiding and firm testimony of its divine authenticity. From that day to this its wonderful teachings have been a comfort, a blessing, and a guide to me."2
President Grant continued to nurture his testimony throughout his life, praying earnestly that he would stay true to the faith.3 When he was 80 years old he declared: "I am truly and absolutely at a loss to find language to express the gratitude that fills my heart for an abiding testimony, in my very soul, of the divinity of this work. Throughout the years, I have discovered evidences, so many, so strong, so powerful, regarding the divinity of this work, that I do not have the language to express my gratitude; and I have found nothing that has lessened my faith."4
Teachings of Heber J. Grant
Testimony comes as personal revelation from God through the Holy Ghost.
God has given to men and women all over the wide world, seeking for the light of His Spirit, in answer to humble prayers, a testimony and a knowledge that this Gospel is exactly what it purports to be—that it is the truth, that it will stand forever, and that those who live it shall be exalted eternally in the presence of our heavenly Father, and His Son, our Redeemer.5
Hundreds, yea, thousands have been pricked in their hearts, and by the inspiration of the Spirit, and the revelations of God to them, they have received a knowledge of the divinity of the work in which we are engaged. They have received the witness of the Holy Spirit to them, satisfying their souls, satisfying their very beings, causing them to cry out in joy that they know that God lives, that they know Jesus is the Christ, that they know Joseph Smith is a Prophet of the true and living God. No man on earth can say that he knows that what they say is not true. He may not believe their testimony, but he cannot rob them of the knowledge that they have. I may proclaim that I love my family, and a man may say, "I don't believe it," but that does not change the knowledge that I have that I do love them. When a man has received the witness of the Holy Spirit, when a man has received the knowledge that this gospel is true, and he knows it, and he proclaims it, the whole world, not believing, cannot change the knowledge that he has.6
I thank God that all the Saints are entitled to the whisperings of His holy spirit. I thank God that none of us are dependent upon others for the testimony of the gospel. I thank Him that each and all can obtain a testimony for themselves.7
It is that personal knowledge, that still, small voice of revelation coming to every honest, prayerful soul, in answer to prayer, which gives the power to this Church. Without this individual testimony, coming as it does to men and women all over the world when they hear this gospel and supplicate God for his spirit, we would not be what we are today—a united people, one in heart and soul, one with God and one with our Savior.8
I want to say right here that it is the power of God, that it is the Spirit of God that convinces men; that it is not the eloquence, it is not the education, not the fine words, or the magnificent way in which they are spoken, that finds lodgment in the hearts of the children of men to convince them of the Truth.9
I have met many people who have questioned my testimony. They have said, "Mr. Grant, you cannot know these things." But I am ready and willing to bear testimony that I do know them, and I know them as well as I know light from darkness, warmth from cold. I know after supplicating the Lord I have received answers to my prayers. Therefore, I have a knowledge of these things, and I know them as well as I know that I love my family and my friends. This knowledge has come to me in such a way that I am ready and willing to bear testimony to all the world, and I know that I will have to face the testimony that I bear. I would not be true to myself if I did not, when occasion offered, bear testimony of the things that I do know.10
We, as Latter-day Saints, have very great cause to be thankful for the many manifestations of the goodness and mercy of our God. Let us strive, with all the ability that we possess, to obtain sufficient intelligence, light and knowledge from our heavenly Father to enable us to keep in the path of duty. Many of us feel that we are firm in the knowledge of the Gospel, and that there is very little fear of the trials of life turning us from the truth. At the same time, we should thoroughly understand that in no single day or hour of our lives would we be able to stand alone and maintain the testimony of the Gospel without the light and inspiration of the Spirit of God.11
We receive and strengthen our testimonies through prayer, study, and obedience to the Lord.
The greatest testimony we can receive is that of the voice of revelation—the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. No one can get this without living for it.12
You can not transfer to others that which you get yourself. I can no more give a man a testimony of this gospel than I can eat for him. I can tell him how to get it. I can tell him of the blessings of God to me. But each and every man must live the gospel if he expects to obtain an individual testimony of the divinity of this work.
It has been tested all over the world by men and women who have been hated and abused and persecuted by their own flesh and blood, because they have joined this Church; but in answer to humble prayer, and by doing the things that God has told them to do, they have received the light and the knowledge and the testimony regarding the divinity of this work.13
My brethren and sisters, if we will study the scriptures, the plan of life and salvation, keeping the commandments of the Lord, all the promises that have been made will be fulfilled upon our heads. And we will grow and increase in light, knowledge and intelligence.14
I promise you, as a servant of the living God, that every man and woman who obeys the commandments of God shall prosper, that every promise made of God shall be fulfilled upon their heads, and that they will grow and increase in wisdom, light, knowledge, intelligence, and, above all, in the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.15
Our testimonies grow stronger as we share them.
No man can proclaim the gospel under the inspiration and power of the Spirit of the living God … but what that man feels, knows and understands that he has been blessed of the Lord Almighty, and he is able to testify of the power of God that comes when we proclaim this gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.16
I have heard President [Brigham] Young and other men say many times that more often have young people received a testimony, in their very souls, of the divinity of this work, while standing upon their feet [to bear testimony] than they ever received while kneeling and praying for that testimony; that under the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord there has come to them, the rich outpouring of that Spirit, that their souls have been flooded with light and the knowledge that comes from God through the Holy Spirit. They have had the witness come into their hearts whereby they have been able to testify that they do know of a surety that they are engaged in the plan of life and salvation; that they do know of a surety that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ, that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of the true and living God.17
While presiding over the European mission, I had occasion time and time again, to give instructions to young men who came there to preach the gospel—young men who had had no education, who had had no experience, and many of them stood up for the first time in their lives and bore their testimonies in the Liverpool office. I told them to study the gospel and to pray for the inspiration of the Spirit of the Lord; and promised them that if they would only open their mouths and bear witness that Jesus Christ was the Redeemer of the world, and that Joseph Smith was his prophet, God would give them something to say even though their minds at first were a blank. Not only a score but many scores of elders have borne witness to me that this promise was fulfilled, and that God did in very deed bless them whenever they bore witness of the divinity of the mission of Joseph Smith, the founder, under God, of the Church of Christ again upon the earth.18
By the hundreds and thousands, during my life, I have heard the testimonies of the young men and the young women who have gone out to proclaim this Gospel returning from their missionary work and bearing witness that they had an increased knowledge of the divinity of this work, that their testimonies had been strengthened.19
There is no such a thing as standing still in the church of God; we cannot live on the testimony received years ago. We have … heard the testimony of a man seventy-nine years of age, but if he should stop bearing the testimony that he has received the spirit of God would leave him, for there is no age when we can stop in the work and gospel of God.20
Testimony gives us ability and courage to accomplish the work of the Lord.
Those who are obedient to the commandments of the Lord, those who live up to the requirements of the gospel, grow from day to day and year to year in a testimony and a knowledge of the gospel, and a determination to encourage others to investigate the plan of life and salvation.21
We as a people have demonstrated that the statement of the Savior is true, namely, that if any man will do the will of the Father he shall know of the doctrine [see John 7:17], and that we [have] a perfect and absolute knowledge; and that is why we [are] willing to make sacrifices for the cause of truth.22
I am very grateful that the Latter-day Saints all over the world have a personal, individual and abiding testimony of the divinity of the work in which we are engaged. But for that testimony men would not think, or women either, of making the marvelous sacrifices that they do make at home and abroad, for the advancement of the work of the Lord. …
… I am grateful when I think of the men who have stood at the head of this Church and the leading officials of the same, giving their time and their talents, making sacrifices (that is, sacrifices so far as the things of this world are concerned), and having a perfect and abiding knowledge that God lives, that he hears and answers our prayers; having a knowledge, beyond a shadow of doubt that God did appear to Joseph Smith and did introduce his Son to him; having a perfect knowledge that the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods were restored to the earth by the men who held the keys in the Meridian of Time. …
Nothing short of this perfect and absolute knowledge that we possess as a people would enable us to accomplish anywhere near the things that we are accomplishing.23
If I know my own heart, I believe it is set upon the advancement of the Church and kingdom of God. I know that there is nothing on the earth that I rejoice over so much as I do in the fact that I am associated with the servants and handmaidens of God in the Church of Jesus Christ; and I do not believe that there ever is a day that passes over my head that I do not thank God for the restoration again of the plan of life and salvation, and that I have been made a partaker of the same. I supplicate Him earnestly that my mind may never become darkened, that I may never depart from the truth; that I may never forget any of the covenants that I have made, but, as I grow in years and increase in understanding, that I may grow in a testimony of the gospel and in the desire—not only a desire, but in doing it—to labor for the onward advancement of the kingdom of God on the earth.24
Suggestions for Study and Discussion
Why is it true that no one can receive a testimony "without living for it"?
Why does a testimony need constant strengthening? How can we remain steady and untiring in our efforts to increase in testimony?
How do our testimonies help us in times of trial or persecution? How do our testimonies help us in times of ease or prosperity?
Why are our testimonies strengthened when we share them? when we listen to the testimonies of others?
In what settings besides testimony meetings can we share our testimonies?
How can parents help their children develop personal testimonies of the gospel?

The strange thing about horror movies of the last 10 years is that they've rarely been scary. They've been grotesque – take, please, "Evil Dead" from earlier this year – but few of them have been legitimately frightening. "The Conjuring," on the other hand, understands that violence is not horror, and delivers a truly disturbing viewing experience. It may use a little Hollywood pixie dust to make it to the finish line, but the pre-Hollywood psychodrama is positively chilling, and the use of old-school techniques only adds to the creep factor.
It's the fall of 1971, and Roger and Carolyn Petton (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor), along with their five daughters, are moving into an old farm house in Rhode Island. From the very beginning, the place seems a little off (the dog won't go in the house, the basement is boarded up), but the family puts up with all of the seemingly unrelated annoyances (cold, the occasional foul stench, youngest daughter April's new imaginary friend) and attributes it to, well, something rational, something explainable. It is not long, though, before the "house" ramps up the offensive, and an exasperated Carolyn asks local paranormal researchers Lorraine and Ed Warren (Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) to come to the house and evaluate their problem. Lorraine, a clairvoyant, gets bad vibes from the very beginning, and after doing a little research on the former homeowners, she is fearful for the lives of the entire Perron family, Carolyn in particular.
Screenwriting twins Chad and Carey Hayes wrote the script of their lives here – though to be fair, one look at their IMDb profile and you'll see that that is a backhanded compliment – by framing the 'A' story (the Perrons) and the 'B' story (the Warrens) side by side until such time that the families can come together organically. It's a shrewd move, because it gives the audience the occasional, much-needed break from the terror that the Perrons are suffering, while slowly allowing the audience to get to know the Warrens and the, um, ghosts of their past that they bring with them to this case. That, plus Wan's refusal to resort to the cheap 'boo' scare, gets the audience emotionally invested early, and never lets them go.

OpenSolaris: Linux powering a GNU/Linux system is a good system, but is it the best? Probably no. And if the same query involves running a mission-critical real-time million dollar system, probably "guaranteed" no for many years to come. Thus, we choose to tread carefully into the realm of the 'big boys'; either SVR4 or BSD Unixes like HP Tru64 Unix, HP-UX, IBM-AIX and the ultimate commercial UNIX of all, Sun Microsystems' SOLARIS. OpenSolaris is the open-source build of SOLARIS; with initial release 2008.11 meant for x86 platform and on June 1, 2009, OpenSolaris 2009.06 was released, with support for both the x86 and SPARC platforms.
The power of Solaris comes from the 100% pre-emptive nature of its underlying kernel SunOS. The SunOS architecture is way too complicated to explain here in detail, but quintessentially speaking, one of the very preliminary distinguishing feature that separates SunOS kernel from Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD and other such OSes is the killer real-time multi-threading support that SunOS has for applications/binaries running on it. Solaris is the ONLY OS kernel on earth which is 100% pre-emptive in nature, running not processes but threads in Kernel space simultaneously and not alternatively; this technically speaking means, SunOS has a LWP threading model (see document link later on for details) which maps a single user-space process with a single kernel-space thread. Thus, SunOS kernel supports a real-time 1:1 scheduling model wherein each application thread has its own LWP, and the SunOS kernel is used to schedule all application threads. As a result, a SPARC system running Solaris 10 serves out Apache webserver requests much faster than on Linux. Additionally, Sun focuses on high performance computing whereas the main function of the Linux kernel is portability, ease of use etc. A must read for all to understand what makes Solaris one of the best commercial UNIXes on earth: http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/solaris9/multithread.pdf
To be precise, on a non-SMP system, there isn't much to choose from between Linux and OpenSolaris. But, once you start scaling to multiple processors heavily, the difference between Linux and Solaris (OpenSolaris included), is apparent. Solaris wins hands down! It is the killer OS for serious people!

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (commonly referred to as FERPA, or the "Buckley Amendment,") Mount Union has adopted the following policies and procedures to protect the privacy of educational records. Students will be notified of their FERPA rights annually by publication in the Mount Union Catalogue and on the University's web site.
FERPA Resources
Mount Union uses the following definitions in this policy:
Student: any person who attends or has attended the University.
Education records: any record in whatever form (handwritten, taped, print, film or other medium) which is maintained by the University and is directly related to a student, with the following exceptions:
- personal records kept by a University staff member if the record is not revealed to others and is kept in the sole possession of the staff member;
- student employment records that relate exclusively to the student in the capacity of an employee;
- records maintained separately from educational records solely for law enforcement agencies of the same jurisdiction;
- counseling records maintained by the University Chaplain or the University Counselor;
- medical records maintained by the University solely for treatment and made available only to those persons providing treatment; and
- Office of Alumni Activities records.
Rights Under FERPA
A student shall have the right, and parents of a dependent student may have the right, to do the following:
- Inspect and review the student's education records;
- Request that the student's education records be amended to ensure the records are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of a student's privacy or other rights;
- Consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent;
- File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning the failure of the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA; and
- Obtain a copy of the University's student records policy from the Office of the Registrar.
Procedure to Inspect Education Records
Students may inspect and review their education records upon request to the appropriate record custodian(s). Students must submit a written request that identifies as precisely as possible the record(s) the student wishes to inspect.
Access will be provided within 45 days of the written request. Information contained in educational records will be fully explained and interpreted to students by University personnel assigned to, and designated by, the appropriate office.
Student records are maintained in the following offices:
- admissions and academic records in the Office of the Registrar;
- financial aid records in the Office of Student Financial Services;
- financial records in the Office of Business Affairs;
- progress and advising records in the departmental offices and faculty offices;
- disability-related records in Office of Student Accessibility Services;
- counseling records in the Office of the Chaplain and Counseling Services;
- academic dishonesty records in the Office of Academic Affairs;
- disciplinary and student conduct records in the Office of Student Affairs.
Right of the University to Refuse Access
The University reserves the right to refuse to permit a student to inspect the following information:
- the financial statement of the student's parents;
- letters of recommendation for which the student has waived his or her right of access;
- records of applicants who were neither admitted to nor attended Mount Union;
- records containing information about more than one student, in which case the University will permit access only to that part of the record which pertains to the inquiring student; and
- records which are excluded from the FERPA definition of educational records.
Right to Challenge Information in Records
Students have the right to challenge the content of their education records if they consider the information contained therein to be inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. This includes an opportunity to amend the records or insert written explanations by the student into such records. The student may not initiate a FERPA challenge of a grade awarded unless it was inaccurately recorded; in such cases the correct grade will be recorded.
Procedures for Hearings to Challenge Records
Students wishing to challenge the content of their education records must submit, in writing to the appropriate office, a request for a hearing which includes the specific information in question and the reasons for the challenge.
Hearings will be conducted by a University official who does not have a direct interest in the outcome of the hearing. Students will be afforded a full and fair opportunity to present evidence relevant to the reasons for the challenge. The hearing officer will render a decision in writing, within a reasonable period of time, noting the reason and summarizing all evidence presented.
If the hearing results are in favor of the student, the record shall be amended. Should the request be denied, an appeal may be made, in writing, and submitted to the Office of the Registrar within 10 days of the student's notification by the hearing officer. The appeal shall be heard by an Appeals Board of three disinterested senior University officials. The board will render a decision, in writing, within a reasonable period of time.
Should the appeal decision be in favor of the student, the record shall be amended accordingly. Should the appeal be denied, the student may choose to place a statement with the record commenting on the accuracy of the information in the record and/or setting forth any basis for inaccuracy. As long as the student's record is maintained by the University, when disclosed to an authorized party, the record will always include the student's statement and the board's decision.
Disclosure of Education Records
The University will disclose "non-directory" information contained in a student's educational record only with written consent of the student, with the following exceptions:
- to school officials, including teachers, who have a legitimate educational interest in the record;
- to officials of another school in which the student seeks or intends to enroll;
- to federal, state and local agencies and authorities as provided under law;
- to the parents of an eligible student if the student is claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes;
- accrediting organizations;
- to comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
- emergencies affecting the health or safety of the student or other persons; and
- as otherwise permitted by FERPA.
- Any student who wishes to authorize release of his or her grades to one or both parents should
- complete a disclosure form in the Office of the Registrar.
Directory Information
Disclosure of directory information normally may be made without the student's consent. Directory information includes the student's name; school and permanent addresses; school, permanent and cellular telephone numbers; school mail box address; school email address; date and place of birth; majors and minors; dates of attendance; enrollment status; class level; degree(s) received and dates of conferral; honors and awards earned; previous institutions attended; weight and height of athletes; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; and photograph.
A student who wishes to have all directory information withheld must submit an 'Authorization to Withhold Directory Information' form to Office of the Registrar. The hold will become effective the first day of class in the next regular semester (Fall or Spring). Once filed, this request becomes a permanent part of the student's record until the student instructs the Office of the Registrar in writing to have the request removed. Because the University's computer system is unable to put a "hold" on selective directory information, all directory information will be placed on hold, or all directory information except name and email address will be placed on hold. Moreover, this request does not restrict the release of this information to individuals and agencies listed in "Disclosure of Education Records" above.

Student detained following attacks on Estonian websites
Allegedly offered DDoS how-to
A 19-year-old university student has been detained on suspicion of participating in a wave of computer attacks protesting the Estonian government's removal of a Soviet-era memorial from the center of that country's capital. It was the first arrest in the attacks, which last week shut down many Estonian government websites.
The suspect was identified only as a Russian national named Dmitri, according to numerous reports, among them carried by Radio Free Europe and the Sydney Morning Herald. A spokeswoman for the Estonian prosecutor's office was quoted saying Dmitri made online postings that called for organized denial-of-service attacks against the country's servers and included addresses and instructions for people to carry them out.
"Dmitri is the first person detained, but the investigation continues, as many of the attacks came from abroad, including from Russia," she said.
Last week's attacks were unusual in the annals of cyber crime because they appeared to be motivated by civil unrest, rather than the motivation for monetary gain that accompanies most of the computer attacks being reported. The strife stems from the removal of a bronze statute depicting a WWII Russian soldier from the city of Tallinn. Russians, many of them living in Estonia, see the memorial as a tribute to the millions of Russian soldiers who died defeating Nazism. Estonians tend to see it as a painful reminder of more than 50 years of Soviet occupation.
One man, said by Radio Free Europe to be an ethnic Russian, was stabbed to death and 150 were injured in the worst riots to grip Estonia since it gained independence in the early 1990s. The Estonian embassy in Moscow was also the scene of two days of angry protests. ®

Whether it's a breakup, getting fired, not getting a job, or missing out on a particular opportunity you were desperately wanting, being told "no" can be potentially very devastating. Some people never recover, or they continue with only a fraction of the confidence.
Rejection is never part of our plans, but the good news is that rejection can lead to the most important growth and future opportunities. That is, if you can find the gifts in rejection.
As uncomfortable as it can be, asking why you were rejected can bring some painful but life-changing truth. It can be easy to explain away the rejection by blaming the party who rejected you. But if you can be brave enough to ask what you did wrong or what you could improve, you can bring yourself to an entirely new place. Taking an honest self-look to know where you need improvement will help you begin working on becoming a better you.
The reflection that can come after rejection can help you hit the reset button. Sometimes you need a rejection to force you to take a break, take a beat, breathe. Maybe it's time to lock away your laptop for a weekend or take a short trip with a friend. You may find some clarity in the time off, as well as healing from the pain of a rejection.
When you truly listen to the rejection, it can be the greatest gift to your future. So many moguls spent time pursuing other, unsuccessful venues before finding their true calling. Having the flexibility to accept a rejection and move forward with resilience can lead you to something even better than you were planning. Believe that failure is temporary and there is success in your future.
Amazing things happen when you believe in yourself enough to push past a rejection. If you truly believe in your dream, keep going. Find a way around the rejection and persist. While this may not work in matters of love, it can be an important step for business owners, creatives, and athletes. Becoming stronger than a rejection and moving on unaffected will turn you into a giant among men.
Did you know that these gifts can even be recovered retroactively? It's true. Stop and think about a past failure. So many of us carry around past failures on our backs, whether we think we're affected by them or not. Using one or more of these techniques for dealing with failure, even years ago, can turn you into a stronger, smarter, healthier, more successful person. And the next time you face a "no," you'll be better equipped to deal with it in a productive way.
Face your Fears and embrace every "NO" you get, for every time you hear NO, you learn, you overcome, and you get stronger. Your self-worth is a million times richer everytime you face rejection, so face it; stand tall and be proud... because the quicker you embrace "Rejection," the quicker you become the powerful success you are meant to be!
"Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy."
—Dale Carnegie

The bard has always been a bit of an unusual class. One thing, though, that I've really enjoyed about the bard is that they get Exotic Weapon Proficiency (whip)
for free.
However, after playing a bit in Pathfinder, I'm continually bewildered by how restrictive the whip is:
A whip deals no damage to any creature with an armor bonus of +1 or higher or a natural armor bonus of +3 or higher. The whip is treated as a melee weapon with 15-foot reach, though you don't threaten the area into which you can make an attack. In addition, unlike most other weapons with reach, you can use it against foes anywhere within your reach (including adjacent foes).
The rules are similar in D&D 3.5 / 3, if I recall correctly.
I understand that it is more of a strategic weapon, but in Pathfinder, they've made the whip a bit more useful in the sense that there are feats like Whip Mastery (No longer provoke attacks of opportunity, deal lethal damage, remove armor restriction) and Improved Whip Mastery (Threaten natural reach + 5), but it still seems extremely restrictive (considering any other class would have had to have to be Proficient with the whip, and have Weapon Focus (whip)
In summary: effectively using the whip requires numerous feats, whips don't threaten, don't deal much damage (or any lethal damage), and provoke attacks of opportunity.
Why is the whip so restricted?
