Hey live near Sacramento
Heartily recommended. This is greatly superior to MyAssistant, especially if you have a navigation app. Works great with navigon - you say 'give me directions to x' and Siri promptly opens Navigon with the directions.
Also, the alias feature is spot on - mystifyingly, myassistant removed that feature in the latest update. Anyway, for a grand total of 2.99 (.99 for myassistant and 1.99 for assistsantlove) I'm perfectly satisfied owning both. Right now assistantlove is way ahead b/c of the ability to voice-activate directions but I'll keep tabs on both. Certainly they're both a huge improvement on stock Siri.
I've been fighting this app for many months - It simply refuses to work any longer. I've tried everything, I've removed all of my addons, and it still refuses to find any of my apps when I use my aliases. It's as if there are no apps at all in my phone. It seems to have started when I ran iCleaner one day, which I had done several times with no ill effects. Several emails to the author have resulted in him totally ignoring my emails.
This pi$$es me off very much thank you, it was my most use addon.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
No secret... the deep eel which is posted in the fly archive.
BTW - Tom called me with some news yesterday. He's the guy I fished w/ Saturday. He went back on Sunday AM fishing the deep eel through the same stretch for less than 2 hours. He also landed a couple of 28" - his first bigger stripers on a fly.
That's three anglers in two days hooking/landing several of last years keeper sized stripers in a few hours elapsed time in the same spot! Not too shabby for the team
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
ok Juro, what was the secret fly?
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
Ah guys, the spring clave is over, now you can kindly leave Bass River and go back to your usual haunts.
Hey Greg,
Me too on quest for 1st keeper on a fly. Funny, it just got 2" is farther out of reach.
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
AWESOME Gregg! I had a feeling you might do well in there, the outgoing would have probably been even better... but it seems we both had obligations to keep - until NEXT WEEK!
Congrats, a mere two inches to go
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
Thanks so much for saving my day. I was looking squarely into the skunk's eyes when I met up with Juro and Tom. Juro had caught a couple but they were going to try yesterday's hot spot back in the estuary. A little while later I joined them on the small water lined by marsh on one side and very expensive homes on the other. They were catching a number of schoolies and I managed to beat the skunk with a couple myself.
As they were leaving Juro told me the tale of the tails. I was impressed and a little voice in my head was saying "Maybe this is the day you get a keeper on a fly!" To date I haven't managed a striper much biger than the popper or should I say Poper fish of the spring clave. Juro pointed out the best spot and then gave me the killer fly.
I continued catching schoolies on my creation out of some misguided sense of pride but eventually switched over to Juro's work of art. I was still catching schoolies but they were biger and occasionally able to take out some line and make the reel sing. Then it happened. A solid thunk and I set the hook the rod bent to the butt and line started flying through my fingers from the stripping basket. A silent prayer "Please God, don't let the line tangle." My prayer was answered and the fish was on the reel making it scream and smacking my thumb with the handle as I ineptly tryed to palm the reel. After a couple more runs the battle turned into a brutish tug of war and I was steadilly gaining ground. I eased it into the grass and shallow water and knelt to remove the hook perfectly centered in it's upper lip. I pulled the tape measure out and discovered I was one year late to say I had caught a keeper on a fly. It was just over 28 inches of beautiful fish bright, fat and tired from the fight. I walked it over to some deeper water to help it recover which it quickly did and I watched it glide gracefully back into the deep subtle current. A beautiful sight.
I didn't stay much longer. The schoolies after that were anticlimatic and I had some mall hopping to do for a Mother's day gift.
Thanks again Juro!

RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
Your post made my day (& most likely weekend). Pre-move packing heats up as we've 2 weeks till we move so I doubt any outings are in the cards until after Memorial Day. Glad to read others are enjoying the early season...
RE:South Cape Cold but Hot
Just thought I'd mention that we ran into the "pope" (Hawkeye) from the spring clave. He had caught a couple and looked like he was in position to do his usual clean-up as we left. There were a few chunky fish around, hope he ran into them on the ebb current.
Both Bill and Tom were recent fly converts and this scenario was good in that it provided some lessons learned, casting improvement, and action. No fish did anything less than bolt back into the depths, in fact I took a couple of face splashings. All hooks were barbless single fly hooks and there was no difficulty removing any fish, most by simply inverting the hook.
Now... on to bigger fish! I want to see more backing.
South Cape Cold but Hot
With the cool east wind and drizzle, it took fleece and a jacket to keep the spirits high but the fish were willing. The amount of muck in the water prevented the usual south side sweeps although the birds were working bait just past the muckline about 3 times a Lefty cast from shore.
It was clear that inside estuaries were the ticket to escape wind and find warmer water. Thinking back on last week's clave, we headed into the channel between Stage and Dennis and there were a few rats to be had, but the water was cold on the legs and there seemed to be little going on.
Bill and I then moved into a water, darker, smaller estuary area and ended up with over 15 fish up to 25" with a 7 cast/ 7 fish streak in the middle.
Next morning I met Tom, same drill - started outside and the wind drove us in. Within a few casts I was into a fish with a tail bigger than a grown man's hand, a lot of screaming line and the rod bent to the butt. I got it close enough to see it was large and the tail waved around out of the water between runs. Tom was walking over cause I asked him to take a photo and sure as hell the fish spit the hook with only a few feet past the nail knot. Should have known better than to mention the "p" word!
About two casts later a 27" fish (landed) grabbed the fly and took the line into the backing. Little brown sea lice dancing all over the thing, beautiful condition. I compared the tail sizes on the fish in hand verses the one churning the water prior and figure the first one was a... "k" "kee" - better not say it, don't want to jinx myself. That's even worse than the "p" word. 19 or so fish later we called it a good morning.
Nice to have the season back!

Gokhan Saki Confirms He's Following Badr Hari to Boxing
- Written by Dave Walsh
There have been a lot of rumors about Gokhan Saki lately, with the biggest one that he was looking to move into another sport. At first it was MMA, as Saki had talked about moving into the MMA world and singled out Melvin Manhoef as a possible opponent, jesting that he'd armbar Manhoef, whose kryptonite has been the armbar throughout his MMA career. That talk quickly died down, though, and then the Boxing talk started. A recent interview with FightHype confirms that Saki is planning his big move to Heavyweight Boxing after his fight with Badr Hari in January. It isn't clear if he is leaving Kickboxing altogether or if he'll still take Kickboxing fights, but he does seem very serious about Boxing.

It is indeed awesome. Very awesome. I dig it.
BTW, I saw today at Ross a lone Cobra Gunship (red helmet version) for $15.99. I assume this means that at least the rest of the wave 1 large vehicles are hitting various Ross stores. I wouldn't be surprised if the smaller vehicles are as well, and the figures should be hitting closeout stores soon (particularly the movie Destro and Attack on the Pit Baroness).
At that price, I'd be seriously tempted to get another Cobra Hummer.
Did anyone ever figure out what, if anything, was supposed to attach to the roof of the Hummer?
That's my jacket!
I thought the only thing that was supposed to attach to the roof (besides the canon that it came with) were figures. Specifically Snake Eyes to recreate the scene from the movie...
GO TO KMART!! I rarely, VERY RARELY, do given the distance to the nearest one, but did go on Monday morning. The GI JOE exclusive 4-pack was clearanced down to $12, which is still too high for those figures, but the special this week is 50% off clearance items. $6 for 4 figures. I picked up 8 packs for troop building/customizing. The store I visited still had another dozen on the floor and more, according to the lady in the department, in the back. I also picked up a Star Trek Transporter room playset to cannibalize for $7.50.
K-Mart's the closest store to me, and I still rarely check it out. I might have to, though, to see if this is universal.
That's my jacket!
And the Ice Dagger is now at Ross for $15.99, too. Dangit. I could've saved a few bucks.
Out of curiosity, has anyone noticed any of the Target deluxe figures being marked down? It seems odd they're clearing out the legions of Destro and Baroness, as well as the Night Raven, and already got rid of the PIT, RHINO, and Polar Battle Bear Then & Now... but haven't budged a bit on the deluxe figures and either size of standard vehicles.
That's my jacket!
Looks like it's just me here.
I can confirm that the Steel Crusher is indeed showing up at Ross. And now I have two.
That's my jacket!
i have 2 sets of snake armor and would pick up several more if/when they get clearanced.
the only movie toys I've seen clearence so far have been the Night Raven and the figures... everything else is still full price.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The Mississippi Legislature, as it is wont to do, has been in the national news a good bit lately because of its work during the 2013 session.
Just this week Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law a bill passed by the Legislature to prevent municipalities and counties from putting limits on foods, such as limiting the size of a soft drink a restaurant can serve.
It did not matter that no local government was considering such a measure. It just made sense to our state officials to keep local governments from ever considering such a proposition. Similar legislation is pending to prevent local governments from raising the minimum wage.
Just last week, the Mississippi Senate spent a hour arguing about the borders of Israel. One senator pointed out that the members of the chamber might have a difficult time describing the borders of Mississippi so it might be better to leave the discussions of borders of a country thousands miles away to somebody else.
Another senator asked shouldn't the chamber spend time studying the Bible – which has several passages referring to the borders of Israel – before voting on the complex proposal.
The Mississippi Legislature votes on countless complicated proposals each year that make a real difference for the state and in the life of its people. Quite often, they vote on those proposals with limited knowledge of the issue because of time constraints and because of the relatively small size of the legislative staff.
By the same token, passage of legislation in Mississippi regarding Israel is not going to have any impact on the outcome of events in Mississippi or in the troubled Middle East.
Besides paying for legislators to work on the issue, we – the Mississippi taxpayers – also were paying for the paper to print the resolution and for the draftsman – a staff attorney – to write the resolution.
Sure, those expenses are minimal, but they are expenses.
In fairness to legislators, it should be pointed out that it is impossible to predict how long debate will last on any proposal. With the egos and personalities in the Legislature, the simplest of proposals can evolve into hours of debate or vice versa.
But it also should be pointed out that a lot of fairly powerful minds have been working on the issues surrounding Israel for a long time and have yet to come to a resolution that is agreeable to everyone.
Does anyone think Israel's enemies in the Middle East are going to read in the newspaper of Mississippi's support for the Jewish people and change their position on the country?
Each chamber of the Mississippi Legislature has a Rules Committee. Countless resolutions come out of the Rules Committee each session honoring everything from sports teams for winning championships to beauty queens to people for living a long and productive life to people upon their death.
The Rules Committee also does things like take up legislation in 2011 offering "sincere" prayers and condolences to the people of Japan after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that year. A lot of feel-good legislation originates in Rules. The two committees have enormous power in terms of handling legislation that deals with the governance of the Legislature.
Rules also is where legislation that makes a political statement, but not much more goes.
Rules is where the legislation dealing with Israel was first taken up.
In fairness to the 2013 Legislature, such proposals are introduced each year. Some pass. Some don't.
In 2010, then state Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Biloxi, who is now a member of the United States Congress, introduced a resolution to "affirm the sovereignty of the people of Mississippi." Legislation also was introduced to "urge Congress to be mindful of the state sovereignty enumerated in the 10th Amendment" of the U.S. Constitution.
Another resolution was introduced urging Congress to recognize the birthday of labor leader Cesar Chavez as a national holiday and to have the state apologize for slavery.
Most of the proposals, like the ones listed above, die in one Rules Committee or the other and never pass both chambers of the Mississippi Legislature.
But they give members of the Mississippi Legislature an opportunity to make a political statement on events that in reality they do not control.
And, by the way, the taxpayers of the state get to pay for that statement.

The 2000s were a rough decade for airlines. Battered by unprecedented global turmoil, airlines that survived learned powerful lessons about cost containment, efficiency and the importance of financial strength. Airlines that thrive in the next decade, however, will have to do more to stay ahead of the competition. In particular, they will need to think strategically about two issues that have received little attention: substitution and commoditization.
With the prevalence of alternative modes of transportation, particularly high-speed rail, customers often have the choice of substituting air travel with less costly modes of travel that require less of a personal time sacrifice. And with commoditization, consumers often find few differences among the product offerings of different airlines — or are unwilling to pay for the differences they do perceive.
To create the opportunity to flourish in the realities of an increasingly competitive travel environment, airlines must accept the threat that both substitution and commoditization pose. The IBM Institute for Business Value Airline 2020 Study focuses on these two key challenges and provides a roadmap for how they will likely play out in the next ten years.

Progeria (pro-JEER-e-uh), also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder that causes children to age rapidly, beginning in their first two years of life.
Children with progeria generally appear normal at birth. During the first year, signs and symptoms, such as slow growth and hair loss, begin to appear.
Heart problems or strokes are the eventual cause of death in most children with progeria. The average life expectancy for a child with progeria is about 13 years, but some with the disease die younger and some live 20 years or longer.
There's no cure for progeria, but ongoing research shows some promise for treatment.
Usually within the first year of life, growth of a child with progeria slows markedly, but motor development and intelligence remain normal.
Signs and symptoms of this progressive disorder include a distinctive appearance:
Signs and symptoms also include health issues:
Call for an appointment with your doctor if your child does not appear to be growing or developing normally, including problems with hair loss, skin changes or slowed growth.
Researchers have discovered a single gene mutation responsible for progeria. The gene, known as lamin A (LMNA), makes a protein necessary for holding the center (nucleus) of a cell together. When this gene has a defect, researchers believe the genetic mutation makes cells unstable, which appears to lead to progeria's aging process.
Unlike many genetic mutations, progeria isn't passed down in families. Rather, the gene change is a chance occurrence that researchers believe affects a single sperm or egg just before conception. Neither parent is a carrier, so the mutations in the child's genes are new (de novo).
Other similar syndromes
There are, however, other progeroid syndromes that run in families. These inherited syndromes cause rapid aging and shortened life span:
Children with progeria usually develop severe hardening of the arteries. This is a condition in which the walls of their arteries — blood vessels that carry nutrients and oxygen from the heart to the rest of the body — stiffen and thicken, often restricting blood flow.
Most children with progeria die of complications related to atherosclerosis, including:
Other health problems frequently associated with aging — such as arthritis, nearsightedness and increased cancer risk — do not develop as part of the course of progeria.
Progeria is usually detected in infancy or early childhood when a baby first shows the characteristic signs of premature aging. It's likely that your family doctor or your child's pediatrician will notice these signs and symptoms during regular checkups.
If you first notice changes in your child that could be signs and symptoms of progeria, make an appointment with your child's doctor. After evaluation, your child may be referred to a medical genetics specialist.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment.
Before your appointment:
For progeria, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor will perform a thorough physical exam of your child, including:
Don't hesitate to ask questions. Progeria is a very rare disease, and it's likely that your doctor will need to gather more information before determining next steps in caring for your child. Your questions and concerns can help your doctor develop a list of topics to investigate.
During follow-up visits, your child's weight and height will be measured and plotted on a chart of normal growth values. Additional regular evaluations, including electrocardiograms and dental, vision and hearing exams, may be recommended by your doctor to check for changes.
Doctors may suspect progeria based on signs and symptoms characteristic of the syndrome. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor will order genetic testing. A genetic test for LMNA mutations can confirm the diagnosis of progeria.
There's no cure for progeria, but regular monitoring for heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease may help with managing your child's condition.
Certain therapies may ease or delay some of the signs and symptoms. They include:
Current research is being done to understand progeria and identify new treatment options. Some areas of research include:
Some steps you can take at home that may help your child include:
Learning your child has progeria can be emotionally devastating. Suddenly you know that your child is facing numerous, difficult challenges and a shortened life span. For you and your family, coping with the disorder involves a major commitment of physical, emotional and financial resources.
In dealing with a disorder such as progeria, support groups can be a valuable part of a wider network of social support that includes health care professionals, family and friends. In a support group, you'll be with people who are facing challenges similar to the one that you are. Talking to group members can help you cope with your own feelings about your child's condition. If a group isn't for you, talking to a therapist or clergy member may be beneficial.
Ask your doctor about self-help groups or therapists in your community. Your local health department, public library, telephone book and the Internet also may be good sources for finding a support group in your area. Because progeria is so rare, you may not be able to find a progeria-specific support group, but you may be able to find a group for parents of children with chronic illness. The Progeria Research Foundation may be able to help you connect with other families coping with progeria. The Foundation can be reached at 978-535-2594.
If your child has progeria, he or she is also likely to experience fear and grief as awareness grows that progeria shortens life span. Your child eventually will need your help coping with the concept of death, and may have a number of difficult but important questions about spirituality and religion. Your child may also ask questions about what will happen in your family after he or she dies.
It's critical that you are able to talk openly and honestly with your child, and offer reassurance that's compatible with your belief system. Ask your doctor, therapist or clergy member to help you prepare for such conversations with your child. Friends who you meet through support groups also may be able to offer valuable guidance.
Your child might also benefit from talking to a therapist or clergy member.

Iowa roughs up Minnesota 72-51
Gophers doomed by shooting woes despite fast start
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Iowa 72, Minnesota 51: Roy Devyn Marble scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half as the host Hawkeyes overcame a dismal start to down the Golden Gophers and collect their third straight win.
Aaron White added 15 points for Iowa (17-9, 6-7 Big Ten), which moved into a tie with Minnesota for sixth in the conference standings.
Austin Hollins scored 14 points and Trevor Mbawke added 13 for the Gophers (18-8, 6-7). Minnesota has lost three of its past four games.
The Gophers made a concerted effort to pound the ball inside with Mbakwe early and he rewarded them with eight points during a game-opening 23-8 run. The Hawkeyes turned to a 2-3 zone at that point and saw their fortunes change almost immediately as they closed the half on a 26-6 run.
With Mbawke neutralized and Minnesota's leading scorer Andre Hollins battling foul trouble, Iowa stayed with its zone defense after the break and held the Gophers to 32 percent shooting in the second half, increasing its five-point halftime lead to a 22-point bulge late in the contest.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Iowa recorded its first three-game conference winning streak since 2007. … Minnesota senior F Rodney Williams logged 10 minutes and did not play at all in the second half per coach's decision. Williams, who was held scoreless for the first time since his freshman year, has been dealing with a shoulder injury. … The Gophers shot 36.2 percent from the floor – the fourth straight game they failed to hit 40 percent of their field goal attempts.

The Back Story
- Plasma screen TVs have gas-like plasma sandwiched between two glass plates in the screen. Plasma generates ultraviolet light and creates the picture on the TV screen.
- The problem is that the human eye can't detect ultraviolet light. We can see only light in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- So how do we see the picture on a plasma screen TV? Watch the following video to find out:

Even a small accident like that can add up, just for the physician's services. Can see how it could work for a person who may have some chronic problem that requires monitoring at the primary physician level.

Additional Information
|Official title
|Family Planning Promotion to Prevent Unplanned Pregnancies in HIV Infected Zambian Couples
|Principal investigator
|Susan Allen, MD, MPH
|Eighty percent of the world's HIV infections are in sub-Saharan Africa. In Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, 85% of pregnant women are married and 47% are in couples with at least one HIV infected partner (26% concordant positive, 21% discordant). It will be years before short-course antivirals are widely implemented, and many children who escape infection will be left orphaned. There are 360,000 AIDS orphans in Zambia, a country of 9 million people, and 35,000 HIV infected women deliver each year. An essential component of any HIV prevention strategy must include the prevention of unplanned pregnancies among couples with HIV. Promotion of 'dual method' contraception (condoms for HIV/STD prevention plus a longer acting method for pregnancy prevention) is ideal, but unfortunately not widely promoted. Ultimately, the prevention of unplanned pregnancy in couples with HIV can reduce pediatric HIV, AIDS orphans, and the family consequences of parental illness and death. This study will evaluate two interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of unplanned pregnancies in HIV infected couples. The first intervention will promote more effective contraception by placing user-independent methods (IUD and Norplant) first in the educational message hierarchy (currently, family planning education highlights oral contraceptives) and employing positive message framing. The second intervention will help couples plan for the consequences of their illness and death. This will include assisting couples to work together to prepare a will, choose a guardian, and make a financial plan. By focusing on the cost of educating existing children and on the need to plan for their future care, couples are encouraged to reflect on the implications of future childbearing. The interventions will be compared with a standard family planning program with respect to impact on incident pregnancy, contraceptive choice and pattern of use, psychosocial and behavioral variables, and future planning actions. Cost-effectiveness will be determined with methods developed jointly by experts in the fields of HIV therapy in Africa and contraception. Participants in this study will be randomized to either the user-independent contraception intervention, the future planning intervention, the contraception plus planning intervention, or the standard family planning control. Couples will be followed for 1 to 4 years. Women will have study visits every 3 months; men will have a study visit every year. The primary study outcome will be comparison of time to pregnancy across intervention groups.

Imperforate anus repair is surgery to correct a birth defect involving the rectum and anus.
An imperforate anus defect prevents most or all stool from passing out of the rectum.
Anorectal malformation repair; Perineal anoplasty; Anorectal anomaly; Anorectal plasty
How this surgery is performed depends on the type of imperforate anus. The procedures are done under general anesthesia, which means the infant is asleep and feels no pain during the procedure.
For mild imperforate anus defects:
Two surgeries are often needed for more severe imperforate anus defects:
A major challenge for these repairs is finding, using, or creating nearby nerves and muscles so that the child can move the bowels normally.
The surgery repairs the defect so that stool can move through the rectum.
Risks from any anesthesia include:
Risks from any surgery include:
Risk from this procedure include:
The infant may be able to go home later the same day as a mild defect is repaired. Or, the child may spend several days in the hospital.
The health care provider will use an instrument to stretch (dilate) the new anus to improve muscle tone and prevent narrowing. This stretching must be done for several months. Stool softeners and a high-fiber diet are recommended throughout childhood.
Most defects can be corrected with surgery. Most children with mild defects do very well. However, constipation may be a problem.
Children who have more complex surgeries still usually have control of their bowel movements. However, they often need to follow a bowel program, which includes eating high-fiber foods, taking stool softeners, and sometimes using enemas.
Some children may need more surgery. Most of these children will need to be followed-up closely for life.
Children with imperforate anus may also have other birth defects, including problems with the heart, kidneys, arms or legs, or spine.

I am new to Advogato.
Forgive me for being dense.
What creates the links among people and projects that I observe on other people's notes (titled "This person is:")?
The format looks consistent among people, so I wonder if I should just put them in myself, or if something on the web site maintains them. At the moment I'm favoring the former hypothesis.
And the answer (courtesy of Kalle Svensson (krftkndl)) is:
The person to project relationships are indeed managed by Advogato. Once you are certified, project relationship forms will automagically appear on the project pages.
Thusly, once you are an apprentice or higher, you can go to the project page and choose your relationship to the project.

3. Use food processor to mix eggs, melted butter, dry curd cottage cheese, baking soda, and salt. Process until thick and resembles butter in texture.
4. Add almond flour and process until mixed thoroughly. If too stiff for processor, remove and knead with wet hands to evenly distribute almond flour.
5. With wet hands, shape dough into loaf and press into greased pan.
6. Bake at 350-375 deg. F. (180-200 C) for about 1 hour until lightly browned on top. There will be a crack on the top of the loaf. Check doneness by inserting knife and seeing if it comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven, loosen from sides of pan with spatula.
8. Invert onto rack to cool thoroughly, so it will be firm enough for cutting.

You don't need more advice from me on avoiding phishing following the Epsilon fiasco: Randy, among others has posted plenty of sound advice, and I put some links to relevant articles here, though I don't know of anyone who's published a list of the whole 2,500 or so companies that are apparently Epsilon's customers, though comment threads here and here seem to be going in that direction. (Hat tip to Randy Knobloch.)
One thing that we do know is that Dell Australia has added itself to the list (another hat tip to Parvinder Walia), and that Paul Ducklin has not unreasonably cast doubt on whether Epsilon can be sure that only names (first names only, according to some sources) and email addresses were accessed. Still, the security community has done its best to prepare you for any additional phloods of phish (as if there aren't plenty of phish in the sea already).
One of the odd side-effects of this affair, though, is the widespread assumption that there will be more spear-phishing. Well, that depends on your definition of spear-phishing, I suppose. Any phishing that results directly from this attack is going to be a little more targeted in that people will receive phishing mail that seems to come from organizations with which they actually have some sort of relationship.
But is it worthwhile for the scammer to target more precisely in that way? Spam is cheap: the punt gun approach (fire a pound or two of shot in the general direction of the flock and pick up anything that drops) is probably good (or bad) enough. Even if there's more information available than name and email address, allowing more accurate social engineering, that still takes more research on the scammer's part to make real use of it.
If the scammer is aiming for a very specific target, as may have happened in the case of RSA, that's different: you don't want to over-expose a cute 0-day exploit, because the more people receive it, the faster it's likely to be detected by AV. But that's nearer to the phishing technique sometime referred to as whaling, though in the case of the RSA breach, the targeted individuals seem to have been fairly low in the hierarchy.

Photographer: Tyrone Turner
Excavating for the first time in the sprawling complex of Xultún in Guatemala's Petén region, archaeologists have uncovered a structure that contains what appears to be a work space for the town's scribe, its walls adorned with unique paintings — one depicting a lineup of men in black uniforms — and hundreds of scrawled numbers. Many are calculations relating to the Maya calendar. The paintings represent the first Maya art to be found on the walls of a house.
The house contains three intact walls, each telling its own story to researchers — and posing its own mysteries.

These are getting some mixed reviews. I think maybe people were expecting a $300 headphone to sound like a 1K one. I am in the middle of burning them in..You have to be a fan of forward mids with a rich sound to be a fan of these. They have a unique flavor among Sony headphones. I like them quite a bit especially that I payed $250 for a really nice looking silver and brown pair. These are an upgrade to my UE6000 for certain and there are guys that prefer the UE6000 over these. So I suppose it will be a matter of taste. If you can try one out at a Sony style store that is what I would do. Jude loves these as he mentioned on the MDR-1R thread how he prefers these to all the various new headphones that are out. Including M-100 and the Momentums to name a few.
hmmm you know what is interesting, throw the AKG 167s/ 267s into the mix. The 167s is getting lots of great impressions so far and they are at a very competitive price of ~$200. If the 167s are any indication of how the 267s would sound, those 3 bass tuning options will be epic. LoL
It is interesting that you say that the Sony 1Rs are a upgrade to your UE6000s Ds, i was hoping the other way around. ha Man there are just too many $200 to $300 full size closed cans in the market right now, hope this saturation will mean big price drops for consumers. Fingers crossed!

| When you wash your hair, water soaks into the delicate hair shafts, making them swell -- and that can cause the surface cuticle to lift up like loose roof tiles, giving your hair a coarse, dull look, says nutrition researcher Mary Enig, Ph.D., author of Know Your Fats.
Rx: Coconut Oil
Once each week, massage two tablespoons of warm coconut oil into slightly damp hair, cover with a shower cap, then shampoo out 30 minutes later. Coconut oil is nature's number one source of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA's) -- a unique group of fats that leave a microscopically-thin protective coating on the surface of hair strands, stopping water from crowding in and causing harm, according to studies at India's Mumbai University. Another coconut oil perk: Its healthy fats kick-start healing of damaged cuticles, making hair softer, silkier and more break-resistant within two weeks, adds Enig.

| Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that flares when the immune system gets confused and starts attacking hair follicles. The cause of the condition is still a mystery -- but the result is tough-to-cover bald spots that can be even tougher to cure.
Rx: Manganese
If you've been diagnosed with this frustrating condition, consider trying a manganese supplement. European studies suggest that almost 100 percent of people with alopecia are deficient in this mineral -- and taking supplements helped some of their bald spots fill in within just four months! The study-proven dose: 10 milligrams daily. Reputable brands include Natrol, Bluebonnet and Twinlab.

| So you didn't win the thick-hair lottery. All is not lost!
Rx: Fish
Fish is rich in omega-3 fats, healing, anti-inflammatory fatty acids that nourish follicles, helping you produce strong, healthy hair that has body and luster, even if it's a bit fine, says Barry Sears, Ph.D., author of "The Anti-Inflammation Zone." For best results, skip the fish oil supplement and opt for the real deal (at least 16 ounces weekly). According to a Norwegian research team, women who eat fish have 80 percent more omega-3 fats in their bloodstream than women who simply took the supplement.

| If you have a receding hairline or a thinning patch on the top of your head, welcome to the world of male pattern baldness. It's a genetic glitch that makes hair follicles super-sensitive to testosterone, hence being a predominately male misfortune.
Rx: Essential Oils
Try whipping up this essential oil blend: Mix four teaspoons of grapeseed oil, half a teaspoon of jojoba oil, two drops each of thyme and cedarwood oils and three drops each of lavender and rosemary oils (you'll find everything you need at your local health food store), then cover your head with a towel for 10 minutes before showering. In a study published in the journal Archives of Dermatology, when 44 percent women spent two minutes nightly massaging a few drops of this aromatic blend into their thinning patches and gave the oils time to absorb, their hair growth was back to normal within seven months. The secret: These medicinal oils strengthen and repair hair follicles, helping them produce healthy hair strands, despite testosterone fluxes, say the study authors.

| According to Cleveland Clinic studies, the first sign of an iron shortfall isn't fatigue -- it's gradual, all-over hair thinning. Simply correcting an iron deficit can quickly reverse this beauty disaster, the study authors say.
Rx: Iron-Fortified Cereals
According to USDA researchers, fortified cereals are great sources of iron. Their top picks: Product 19, All-Bran Complete Wheat Flakes, Total Raisin Bran and Whole Grain Total, all of them packed with at least 20 milligrams of iron in one heaping cup. For best results, pair your cereal with acidic fruit, like an orange, half a grapefruit or half a cup of berries According to UCLA researchers, fruit acids latch onto iron and help shuttle it through the digestive tract lining, doubling your ability to absorb this key mineral.

| It's a thrill to step on the scales and realize your diet is actually working, but watching your hair drop out as can put a real damper on your enthusiasm. Here's the problem: Your hair is 91 percent protein; in fact, every single hair cell is jam-packed with the stuff. So if your diet is low in this essential building block, your hair strands will become thinner, more fragile and eventually fall right out, say University of Toronto researchers.
Rx: Protein
Whatever eating plan you choose, make sure you serve up four ounces of protein-rich beef, pork, chicken or turkey every day. You could see improvements in as little as six weeks.

| If you've ever watched helplessly as your hair flowed steadily down the drain, and then struggled with that fuzzy look as tiny new hairs sprouted all over your scalp, the trouble could be stress overload. "Normally, 90 percent of your hair is in the growth phase and only 10 percent is resting or actually shedding," says Jerome Shupak, M.D., professor of dermatology at the NYU Langone Medical Center. "But a surge in stress hormones can push a lot more hairs into the shedding phase, making you shed up to 300 of them daily instead of the usual 80."
Rx: Yoga
Try 15 minutes of yoga twice daily. According to University of Pennsylvania researchers, yoga's poses and rhythmic breathing help 60 percent of women dampen their production of hair-wrecking stress hormones for 12 hours straight. Try online classes at sites like myyogaonline.com or yogadownload.com.

| If you're losing the hair on both your scalp and your eyebrows, that's a red flag that your thyroid is struggling, say experts at Washington's Emory University. "People think they'll be exhausted, gain weight or feel chilly if their thyroid isn't up to snuff," says Gary S. Hitzig, M.D., a hair transplant surgeon in Long Island, New York. "Yet one of the earliest signs of thyroid trouble is actually thinning head and eyebrow hair!"
Rx: A Doctor!
Get a sluggish thyroid treated and your locks could start thickening in as little as nine weeks, say researchers at the NYU School of Medicine.

| People often try to prevent hair breakage by washing less often, but that can make your hair more brittle, says Dr. Hitzig. Your body produces a steady trickle of testosterone, and when this powerful hormone reaches your scalp, it breaks down to form a waste product called 5DHT. "If 5DHT starts building up on your scalp, it actually sabotages cell division inside follicles, making your hair grow out weak and fragile," says Hitzig.
Rx: A Good Scrub
"Gently washing 5DHT off of your scalp every 24 hours can keep your levels of this troublemaker safely low, helping your hair grow stronger and more break-resistant within two months."

| Those dandruff flare-ups are actually caused by fungus, say researchers at China's Jilin University.
Rx: Listerine
It's true; mouthwash can cure dandruff! That's because thymol (a key ingredient in Listerine) destroys 24 strains of fungi. Thymol even kills the drug-resistant fungi that dandruff shampoos have trouble taming. Just pour 1/4 cup of Listerine onto damp hair, massage thoroughly into your scalp, wait five minutes and then rinse and shampoo as usual. Repeat daily until the flaking disappears.

| If your hair is patchy and you're struggling with dizziness or other weird symptoms, try laying off the vitamin A. There's no question that this nutrient is essential for good health -- for starters, it strengthens your immune system and protects your vision -- but getting more than 20,000 international units (IU) daily can trigger patchy hair loss, plus symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, ear ringing, nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes and joint pain, say researchers at New York's Nassau County Medical Center
Rx: Check the labels
The ideal dose is 10,000 IU daily, max. Double-check your vitamin ingredients just to be sure, suggest UCLA researchers. Turns out many multivitamins and other combination formulas have 10,000 IUs per pill, so your daily dose can really rack up fast.

| Sulfur is crucial in the development of strong nails and a deficiency can be what's keeping you from that manicure.
Rx: MSM
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an odorless, tasteless form of sulfur found naturally in many fruits, veggies and meats, is good for your nails. It's such an important building block of healthy nail tissue that taking 2,000 to 2,500 milligrams daily can help women grow strong, break-resistant nails within two months. MSM is quickly destroyed when food is heated or processed, so pumping up your levels with a supplement is a smart bet if you're struggling with not-so-sturdy nails right now. Look for MSM in health food stores and nutrition outlets.
Bonus: According to studies at Oregon Health Sciences, MSM is also a powerful anti-inflammatory that can cut joint pain, muscle pain and headache flare-ups by 82 percent in as few as six weeks.

| Nothing wrecks the look of pretty open-toed shoes as quickly as toenail fungus.
Rx: Vicks VapoRub
You can get prescription bug-killing meds from your physician, but Michigan State researchers say simply applying Vicks VapoRub to infected nails clears up this tough-to-treat condition for 38 percent of people studied! Credit Vicks' unique blend of three fungus-killing ingredients -- eucalyptus, menthol and camphor oils. The study-proven strategy: Quickly rub a tiny dollop into affected nails twice daily for three months.

| If your nails are covered with tiny white specks, you probably need more zinc. Although doctors aren't sure yet why, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that as zinc levels drop, the number of these tiny nail "bruises" skyrockets.
Rx: Red meat, fish and chicken
Take 25 milligrams of zinc daily or add three ounces of zinc-rich red meat, fish, poultry or eggs to each meal to boost your tissue stores of this mineral by 35 percent – you'll grow new, speckle-free nails in just six months, say USDA researchers. Want spot-free nails even quicker? Zinc is best taken at bedtime so take a supplement before you snooze. High doses of stomach acid are needed for proper mineral absorption, and according to researchers at Houston's University of Texas, stomach acid production doubles after 10 p.m.

| Few things are more frustrating than giving your nails lots of TLC, only to have them peel like blistered skin, yet up to one in four women regularly battle this annoying nail blight.
Rx: Horsetail tea
This tea is loaded with silica, a building block of nail tissue that helps nails grow in stronger, locking in moisture so nails are less likely to peel and flake. According to University of Cincinnati researchers, just pumping up your silica intake can help you grow noticeably stronger, sturdier nails in as little as three months -- just two cups of horsetail tea daily can do the trick. Popular brands include Alvita and Celebration Herbals. If you find this brew a little bitter, just sweeten with a pinch of sugar or honey.
Bonus: According to the FDA, horsetail tea is a proven diuretic, so it's a great option if you often battle bloating or fluid retention.

Chad Henne record as Dolphin starter with Ginn, Camarillo, Bess and Hartline: 8-7 (PPG…24.0)
When Henne had Marshall, Bess and Hartline as his WR group and targeted Marshall a ridiculous amount of times:
Chad Henne record as Dolphin starter with Marshall: 5-11 (PPG...17.4)
Just as coach Philbin says it isn't about having a #1 WR but about exploiting matchups.
Jennings: 68 catches, 101 targets, 949 yards, 9 TD
Nelson: 67 catches, 96 targets, 1,263 yards, 15 TD
Finley: 55 catches, 93 targets, 767 yards, 7 TD
Jones: 38 catches, 55 targets, 635 yards, 7 TD
Driver: 37 catches, 56 targets, 445 yards, 6 TD
It's called SPREADING the ball around. So you think GB should have taken away 50 targets from Nelson and thrown it to Jennings just b/c you consider him a #1? Apparently the OC from GB last year believed in spreading the ball around, exploiting matchups and not just making sure a "supposed" #1 got his.
You may want to do a little research rather than just throwing stuff out off the top of your head...just a thought.
Hartline 47
Bess 32
Fasano 23
Bush 12
Armstrong 9
Last year
Marshall 145
Bess 83
Hartline 67
Fasano 54
Bush 52
Clay 25
Neither of these look anything like Green Bays so called spreading the ball around. Hartline has been targeted more than any receiver in the NFL this year and has 1/3 more targets than the second receiver. Last year Marshall had 42 percent more of the targets than the number 2 but the ball was obviously overall more spread around than this year. Its early in the year and will change some but its obvious who our number one target is. So far the spread has been nothing close to what they have in Green Bay .
The main point Im gonna make is there is a reason that Marshall was targeted so many times. I have this wild theory. He was the best receiver on our team by far and was open the most. Just because teams consider a player the number one receiver they are not going to throw it to him over and over if he is not open or has a chance to make a play. We spread the ball around quite a bit last year , the reason Green Bay's targets are so close is because their talent is so close.
The previous year
Jennings was targeted 125 times while JAmes Jones was targeted 87 times and Driver 84. The Packers like any other team will throw to their best receiver more than anybody else. The number last year are also skewed because Jenning missed three games.

Attacks on the Press 2007: Haiti
Press conditions improved slightly during a year of relative political stability. A decline in gang violence in the capital, Port-au-Prince, allowed reporters to make a cautious return to the city's streets. And, with the strong support of President René Préval, an independent committee was created in August to monitor stalled investigations into a series of journalist murders this decade.
