Wow, over a month without blogging. But I'm not dead, far from it.
End-of-Studies project [PFE]
So we did our final presentation of PiTiVi for school on Saturday 12th February. It went quite well and the teachers were more than pleased by the result, both from a technical and a commercial[1] point of view. In fact I was just waiting for all this "school" period to end so I could get on some real PiTiVi hacking... far from constraints of studies and freeloaders.
The slides from the presentations are available here. They're in french , but I'm quite happy with the result I achieved using only OOo.
Change of Life
So that's it, Studies are OVER for me :) Well not entirely, I've still got to finish this internship at Fluendo, but I wouldn't call that studying...
The weekend after the final presentation of PiTiVi I went to Barcelona for the GStreamer summit. It was great finally meeting up with people you talk to every single day by IRC. A lot of decisions have been made which I won't go over again, but Stefan (ensonic) and I are working on the replacement for dparams to be included (hopefully) in 0.10 . It's quite interesting because both our projects (pitivi and buzztard) have heavy requirements on a form of dynamic parameters, and we've managed to come up with a lightweight method (in terms of cpu usage and lines of code to use it) to handle almost any use case. Stay tuned for more info, or check the mailing list. The weekend was also filled up with the usual eating and drinking...
Coming back from that extended weekend in barcelona I had 24 hours to move out of my room in Paris since I was letting it out. I will NEVER EVER AGAIN do that ! I trashed about half of the stuff I had in my room (12 square meters) and still managed to get a full car packed with all my stuff (furniture excluded)...
... and all of that in time to catch the coach to go to Brussels for the FOSDEM. The weekend was quite nice, I stayed at my best friend's place (who recently moved to Brussels to work), and it was great seeing him. I didn't go to many talks (apart from the usual Stallmann speech), but I spent most of my time talking to other hackers. The best was on sunday where I was able to hook up with Ronald (GStreamer plugins), Oyvind (GIMP/GGGL/Oxide) and Charles (MLT/Kino); we had lunch together and the talks revolved around getting all our various multimedia (and more specifically video editing/modification) ideas/projects/solutions working with one another. Great stuff in perspective !! Then salsaman joined Charles and I to present each other our software (lives, mlt, pitivi) and discuss our stroing/weak points.
After that weekend, I took one week of well earned vacation in my country house with the family and the girlfriend. The great part was that it snowed like hell (for two weeks) when usually it barely even snows in winter... Finally I arrived in Barcelona on saturday evening and started work at Fluendo on Monday.
I've been staying at Christian's place since, but been looking for rooms to rent. After visiting two places I think I've finally decided on taking one in the Barri Gotic (historical centre of Barcelona) where the owner is really easy-going, the living room really big and it's 5mins away from work.
The past three months have been ectict in pitivi development: lots of patches to have a presentable version for school. I've spent the last two weeks cleaning up the code (I still found some unused code !!!), moving functions/methods around, complying more to the OO programming paradigms and making it easier to add features in the future. I hope to have finished cleaning up everything by next tuesday in order to make a 0.1.2 release which will be the last pitivi release packed with gnonlin and using GStreamer 0.8 .
After that I'll put the gnonlin code back on it's independant cvs and pack it separately since more and more people want to use it for audio and/or video non-linear editing. I'll also add the necessary functions so they can be installed as gstreamer plugins.
Kiddo (the artist who made the new logo) is doing a long critic of almost every available non-linear editor with a beginner's point of view. His work (in french) is available here. Combined with Gnome HIG and other inputs I'll then refine the orientation of PiTiVi for the future, the main points being :
If you've got comments/ideas/features you'd like to see in a video editor, now is your time ! Mail me or come and chat on #pitivi or #gstreamer.
[1] : Yes I know commercial might seem somewhat irrelevant for open-source software. If you prefer we presented it for people who (in theory) didn't have a clue what our software does and how it works, so we had to present PiTiVi as if we were trying to convince customers (users).

By Joe Rutherford/NEMS Daily Journal
A renewed and expanded version of the Violence Against Women Act passed the U.S. House late last week and is on its way to President Obama for his signature.
The law, passed in 1994 under the chief sponsorship of then Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware, added the clout of the federal government to prosecution and protection for women (and some men) who were victims of domestic violence, a crime that has risen in frequency in the U.S. and other nations.
Mississippi's congressional delegation split in voting on the renewal bill: Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker voted for passage, as did U.S. Reps. Bennie Thompson and Gregg Harper. Reps. Alan Nunnelee and Steven Palazzo voted against it. The Mississippi delegation's bipartisan split for the bill was reflective of broader bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.
The expanded reach of the renewed act includes protections for people in gay, lesbian and transgendered relationships, plus additional authority for Native American tribal courts to act against non-Native American spouses or domestic partners accused of domestic violence.
Renewal is important for Mississippi because about $5 million per year has been granted to anti-domestic violence programs in our state for several years, including the shelter in Tupelo named SAFE, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and both Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi.
As described by the Human Rights Campaign, "VAWA is the primary federal law providing legal protection and services to counter domestic abuse, sexual violence, and stalking. Congress has reauthorized VAWA twice since it originally passed in 1994.
The Senate passed S. 47, a bipartisan bill to renew VAWA, with 78 votes on February 12. The House approved S. 47 with a vote of 286 to 138. The House took the vote after rejecting another bill that would have watered down protections for victims."
The program nationwide is representative of programs funded in Mississippi:
• Federal rape shield law
• Community violence prevention programs
• Protections for female victims who are evicted from their homes because of events related to domestic violence or stalking
• Funding for victim assistance services, like rape crisis centers and hotlines
• Programs to meet the needs of immigrant women and women of different races or ethnicities
• Programs and services for female victims with disabilities
• Legal aid for female survivors of violence
The new law "must reach all victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking in every community in the country," reflective of stronger focus to include homosexual and American Indian victims and assailants, an undeniable cultural phenomenon, which merits the law's reach.

Okay, I know I may have too many girl crushes in my current list, but I just have to add this Bride to my favorite ladies of all time. How can I resist? She is breathtakingly beautiful in her Lazaro gown and exuding the most timeless kind of elegance, she is radiant in each image from Sara Donaldson. Oh, and the rest of the gallery? Gorgeous flowers at every turn from Bella Flora of Dallas with classic details of pearls, mercury glass, and silver aplenty by Shannon Schultz Events. Give your eyes all the glittery, shimmery lovely they could ask for right here.
From Shannon Schultz Events… An utterly romantic couple, Rachel and Dominic met at Pepperdine University in Malibu and were married at Piazza in the Village in Colleyville, Texas. Every design and planning meeting with this idyllically sweet couple was a breeze. Rachel asked for a natural and sophisticated wedding design: ivory, silver, pearls and overflowing branches. We framed the dance floor with birch trees, from which hung outdoor-inspired antique metal votive cups and strands of precious orchids. The centerpieces were a composite of tall birch trees with branches accented with white dendrobium orchids and surrounded with lush hydrangea, garden roses and to-die-for pastel dahlias.
Tradition and remembrance was an ongoing thread throughout the wedding details. The couple used items passed down from past generations, including the Scottish tartan remnant pinned inside the groom's jacket and the vintage brooch displayed upon the delicately ruffled wedding cake. They also created their own "something old" details, such as the bride's silver and pearl bouquet pins, which will remain in the family for years to come. Naturally, this adorable couple had to have a "Let Them Eat Cake" dessert bar, including dainty swan puffs, heavenly chocolate eclairs and mini fruit tarts. All were set on silver platters which glittered amongst mercury glass votives. We played "I Like Candy" by Bow Wow as they cut their cakes. The wedding favors were Italian wedding cookies made by the groom's aunt. We wrapped each cookie with a tag stamped with the word "love."
But the sweetest part of the evening may have been the surprise song that the groom sang to his bride right there on the dance floor, surrounded by all of their loved ones. It's touching moments like those that make my job as a wedding planner incredibly rewarding.

Liverkick.com Interviews Artem Levin
- Written by Rian Scalia
Artem Levin has been the number one fighter on our Liverkick.com Light Heavyweight Rankings for quite some time now. Arguably one of the top pound for pound fighters in the sport if you play that game, he's dominated his opposition for the past few years. He has a fight coming up on March 3 in Russia and another one on March 31. We got the chance to talk to Artem about a plethora of subjects, including his upcoming fights, why he fights the way he does and his future in the sport.
LiverKick: Your next fight is on March 3 against Cheick Sidibe. What do you know about your opponent?
Artem Levin: I'm watching his fight videos. He's a persistent guy. He's accenting on knees, using his height, but doesn't take punches to the head well. He's characterful. We will see what it is going to be.
LiverKick: Simon Marcus and Joe Schilling are fighting soon. Both of them would like to fight you and Joe Schilling is the interim champion to your world title belt. Will you be keeping an eye on that fight?
Artem Levin: Yes, sure. They are interesting to me. It is expected to be one of the most important fights in career for both. They are looking forward for the next fights. I'm following the things concerned with this fight. It's going to be a bomb as both don't recognize a menace in another. Simon has next fight versus Kaoklai on March 16th, and Joe has next fight versus me on March 31st. Let them define the things between them, and I'm always ready to fight both. You are welcome. Click "Read More."
LiverKick: You've recently fought as low as 77kg and as high as 82.5kg. Is it hard to go down to 77kg and would you go up even higher in weight?
Artem Levin: It is always hard to drop weight, but I'm doing nothing that could be impossible. I know my body, I know how to recover to be in shape before a fight. Thus, it's not a problem to me. As for gaining weight, there are rumors about of a Golden Glory Grand Prix at 85 kg. I'd be glad to take part and pump up muscles.
LiverKick: You like to have fun in the ring, taunting and playing with your opponents. Were you inspired by anyone to fight like this?
Artem Levin: I think, that you are not to imitate or copy someone in the ring. The manner has to be individual and comfortable for you and your physical ability. I've grown up watching fights of Roy Jones Jr., Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. Those men liked to have fun in the ring. Probably, it has left a mark on my style. They are role models for young people, and I'm happy that they are our contemporaries and I'm living in one time with them.
LiverKick: Do you prefer to fight in Kickboxing or Muay Thai?
Artem Levin: I have no preferences in between these two sports. I'm comfortable at both. What's important is motivation, then it's going to be hot and fun. But Muay Thai is a complete culture and even, so to say, religion, and it's my native sport, thus, it's more close to my heart.
LiverKick: You've also done one fight in pro Boxing. How was the experience of only being able to punch?
Artem Levin: There was a journeyman, but I liked it as I've tried something unusual and new for me.
LiverKick: Liverkick.com has you as the #1 fighter in the world at light heavyweight. How do you feel about being thought of as one of the best fighters in the world by many people?
Artem Levin: It has nothing to do with my own ranking. And to be top fighter for myself I have to do a lot and undoubtedly I have to meet those gentlemen mentioned above. I place myself at the beginning of the way.
LiverKick: In Russia, Kickboxing and Muay Thai seem to be getting more popular lately. Have you noticed this?
Artem Levin: I'm following all the news on martial arts, not only bouts, but Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing and MMA development and popularization.
LiverKick: Are you able to make a comfortable living by fighting?
Artem Levin: Yes, as far as I win my fees are rising. By winning over good opponents I earn a good name. For now it's alright.
LiverKick: You're only 25 years old and already have a lot of fights. What are your plans for the future in your fighting career?
Artem Levin: I'm 25 already. I'm putting my aims high. I want to gather the main Muay Thai belts. We shall see how things turn out. The main aim is to fight the best.

Rectovaginal Fistula
Rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the rectum and the vagina. Gas or stool may leak from the bowel into the vagina.
A rectovaginal fistula is caused by an injury to this area. It may be caused by physical trauma or a medical condition.
Rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the rectum and the vagina. Gas or stool may leak from the bowel into the vagina.
Healthy Wall Between Vagina and Rectum Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may need to see a colon and rectal surgeon.
Tests may include the following:
- Anorectal ultrasound—a small wand-like instrument provides a video image of the rectum and anus
- Methylene enema—a tampon is placed in the vagina and methylene blue is placed into the rectum to identify movement of fluid from rectum to vagina
Contrast studies—
barium enema
may be used to view a rectovaginal fistula that cannot be seen on physical exam
- Endoscopy—a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the rectum to examine the rectum and the lower colon (to rule out irritable bowel disease)
There are no steps to prevent rectovaginal fistula.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of rectovaginal fistula include:
- Crohn's disease
- Complications following surgery to the perineum (area between vagina and rectum), vagina, rectum, or anus
- Injuries during childbirth
- Radiation treatment or cancer in the pelvic area
- Perianal infection
If you have any of these, do not assume it is due to a fistula. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Talk to your doctor if you have:
- Passing stool or gas via the vagina
- Inability to control bowel movements
- Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
- Recurring vaginal infections
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Persistent pain in the pelvic area
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:

Welcome and thank you for visiting the project website for the Fore River Bridge Replacement Project. The project is now underway with final design complete. Between fall 2012 and 2018, a design/build team White-Skanska-Koch, Joint Venture, under the direction of MassDOT will replace the current temporary Fore River Bridge with a new, permanent, steel vertical lift bridge. The new structure will cost approximately $244 million.
Third Shift Status
The project is currently running on a normal, two shift schedule.To receive advance notice regarding extra shifts, please sign up for project emails or contact our public involvement specialist.
Construction Underway
As of the week of March 27th, construction for the new Fore River Bridge is ongoing. Learn more on our progress reporting page.
Replacement of the Fore River Bridge is a signature project of the Commonwealth's historic Accelerated Bridge Program. The replacement bridge will carry Route 3A, known as Washington Street in Quincy and Bridge Street in Weymouth, over the Fore River.
The project team invites you to peruse the website, discover more about the project; browse the materials developed to support the public involvement process or contact the project's public involvement specialist.
If you have immediate questions or concerns regarding a specific construction activity at the Fore River Bridge site please follow this link for contact information.
Accommodating All Users During Construction
MassDOT understands the importance of the Fore River Bridge to the Route 3A corridor. During much of construction, the temporary bridge can be kept open at full capacity, limiting impacts to commuters and abutters. Any reductions in capacity will take place with significant advanced notice through the methods outlined above and in coordination with the City of Quincy, Town of Weymouth, and MBTA which operates a bus route over the bridge and ferry service beneath it. Access to adjacent businesses will be maintained throughout construction. We urge you to visit the websites of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce and South Shore Chamber of Commerce to learn more about the many businesses near the bridge that will remain open throughout construction.
The agency and its design/build team are also well aware of the Fore River's important role as a working river and will coordinate with the United States Coast Guard and the marine units of Quincy and Weymouth to ensure that waterborne traffic continues to move smoothly throughout the construction process.

"The Star Wars" issue 1 - this is the comic book adaptation of the first draft of Star Wars, (the shooting script was the 4th generation I think).
I finished issue #1 today, and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the title on my pull list. I found it unfortunately dull as dishwater, it's poorly paced and far too political, it reeks of the prequels and spends too much time with wink-wink stuff like names and armor pieces and the Stardestroyer small fighters. Meanwhile, the characters are wafer-thin, there are far too many of them thrown at the page without justification or explanation and all with far too unclear motivations, and the little Jedi-Bendu actions shown are middling at best. Oh, and our hero whips his kid in the opening panels, but at least said kid dies 2 pages later so he cries.
I'm also quite turned off by the Stardestroyer fighter design having the big Star Destroyer bridge element and also a friggin' hot rod blower, both of which are just cheap and take the reader out of the moment.
And I suspect we'll get payoff to that Princess Leia scene, but in this book it was pointless and a waste of time, it should have been shuttled off to a later issue or left as dialogue because on the page it's just obvious foreshadowing with no other merit.
This proves why that was a FIRST DRAFT and why Lucas threw it all out in later drafts, it's not terribly compelling.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the great job on the new site.
It appears for some reason I cannot give thanks or no thanks, can someone please fix that for me, if you can.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the great job on the new site.
It appears for some reason I cannot give thanks or no thanks, can someone please fix that for me, if you can.
Dear Forum moderators:
I respectfully come to you with a question in hopes of being answered and thus far I have not received a reply after 2 days of waiting patiently. (I know your busy and understand)
It's a simple question: I have lost the ability to give thanks to posts that I may be in a agreement with or in disagreement with.
I get this feeling that I am not liked by some, for my opinions in the past and in the current, and that I can deal with and can accept, as it simply comes with the territory, unfortunately.
But to lose the ability to give a little thanks to someone or not, I feel I deserve some sort of explanation.
Is it something on my end or on the mods end?
I have tried to send some PM's to others behind the scenes looking to find an answer or possible solution.
I am really trying hard to conform to the boards "code-of-conduct".
Respectfully, Submitted,
You have to answer a trivia question first.
there is nothing wrong with your account. and I've logged in on your account and saw the icons for giving thanks etc. So try a different computer/browser etc.
Gase has taken an interesting approach to instilling a winning culture in Miami. He is cocky. He is smart. He is borderline deranged.

Focus on Funds
Yesterday's Volatility Bets Today's Biggest Losers
The market is fickle, stocks are up, and bets in favor of market volatility are down. Those are the explanations why the CBOE Volatility Index is plunging 12% at the slightest hint of compromise in Washington.
By "hint" I'm referring to reports of Republican leaders cottoning to a planned six-week extension of the debt limit.
Exchange-traded funds and notes tracking volatility futures have reversed their recent upswing, sending ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY) down 11% Thursday and iPath S&P 500 VIXShort-Term Futures ETN (VXX) down 5.7%. VelocityShares Daily Inverse VIX Short Term Futures ETN (XIV), which is effectively a bet against volatility, is rising 5.6%.
Barclays' VXX, little-known to most investors, was the fourth-most active security in the entire stock market on Wednesday, Bloomberg News' Nikolaj Gammeltoft and Aubrey Pringle write this morning:
The rally in the VIX ETN shows rising demand for securities that hedge against equity swings on concern U.S. lawmakers will fail to raise the federal debt ceiling in time to avoid a default. That's a reversal from last month, when volatility reached a seven-year low amid confidence that the four-year bull-market is sustainable with corporate profits at all-time highs. Only the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, Facebook Inc. and Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. were more traded yesterday among U.S. stocks and funds with market values exceeding $50 million.
"There is an opportunity to use the VIX products to buy protection in case of a catastrophe," Jeremy Wien, head of VIX trading at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York, wrote in an e-mail yesterday. The ETNs "are much easier to trade than are traditional futures and options, especially by retail and institutional investors, who may not have direct, easy and quick access to the options markets."
Easy to use? Sure. Also, as the attached chart of VXX since 2009 shows, easy to lose a lot of money if you don't know what you're doing. Because this ETN is dependent on volatility futures, VXX is best viewed as similar to an options contract: If nothing dramatic happens, the value dwindles and your money goes steadily out the door.

Titian painted numerous Holy Conversations in the early stages of his activity, all of them with a splendid quality of colour. Of these, the painting now in the Magnani collection is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements made in his youth in terms of religious painting. The canvas was probably commissioned by a Venetian nobleman, Domenico Balbi, to whose name that of the saint beside the portrait of the donor may be linked. Further confirmation of this hypothesis can be found in the fact that, right from the 16th century, the painting was housed in Palazzo Balbi di Piovera in Genoa, where it stayed until 1952.
The extremely broad compositional structure is clearly divided in two: on the left, there are the figures of the Virgin and Child with St Catherine, dressed in sumptuous clothes with bright colours against a dark background, who stand out very clearly. On the right, there are the figures of the saint and donor, whose simple, exclusively black and white clothes make a clear contrast. They are placed against a broad landscape filled with light, very similar to those in the frescoes Titian painted in 1511 at the school named after the saint in Padua. The figures are brought to the close foreground and are extremely imposing: in that of the Virgin, who is turning her head to the right to receive the supplication of the donor, presented by St Dominic, it is possible to discern the influence of the Michelangelesque models of the Sistine Chapel, which Titian may have seen in the form of prints or drawings when they were first made, since borrowings like these can already be found in his earliest works. The figures on the right — of which that of the donor is certainly a portrait — display great attention to realism and extraordinary psychological sensitivity: the very elements we also find in his fertile production of portraits in that period.

damn , the Jets are playing the Texans close. Really hoping the Texans dont blow this.
damn , the Jets are playing the Texans close. Really hoping the Texans dont blow this.
The Jest are in deep **** lol
Really no words are needed to describe this, but this play makes the John Beck gettin crazy with the cheeze whiz play vs. Buffalo look like good football.
The Jests This play pretty much sums up the Jests. Definately something Sparano drew up.
Sanchez getting himself a dirty sanchez.
I predicted 5 wins for the Jests this year. Right now at 4-7 they have a strong chance. If only we wouldnt have given them that game, they would be 3-8 right now and have a great shot at only winning 4 or 5.
Where the Jests fans at who showed up when this thread started?
I laughed my ass off when I saw this play and I bet everyone not a Jets fan did to. If you were scripting football follies it would be tough to top this. Obviously Sanchez is attracted to hairy asses.
Gangrene has dubbed it the assfumble.
That pic should make the cover of 50 shades of green.
Sanchez on his knees with his ass at the camera and the headline THE BUTT OF JOKES was on the front page of the NY Post. Wonder where Junc is?
The Jests are beyond a joke at this point. To me, they have been a joke all year. But, last night they took it to a whole new level. Think about it...........
Here the Jests are playing a game that had a shot at being the most watched primetime game all year. Families have finished dinner and are gathering around the set for the evening. Whether they are playing games or whatnot at the same time, most households had this game on even if it were just a background thing.
On this stage..... the Jests not only get blown out, they present themselves as a comedy of errors. An absolute joke. The Jests were the laughingstock of the league to NFL fans BEFORE last night. After last night, they have made themselves a pop culture joke for the entire country. Even people who hardly watch football all year witnessed and LAUGHED HARD at the Jests last night.
Think about what people were saying after a 3rd string RB took what was basically a wheel route for a walk in 80+ yard TD last night to make it 14-0. The guy went untouched. Casual fans were asking the bigger fans in the families "isnt their coach supposed to be a defensive guy"? "I thought they had a good defense".
Then within a few moments, it was 28-0 before people could go to the bathroom and sit back down. Someone went into the kitchen for a slice of pie and it was 28-0. It happened in a lot of homes last night.
But, to have your QB run right into the ass of your lineman and fumble it for a score is nothing short of epic. It really sums up the entire Sparano lead offense and the organization that is the NY JESTS!

Enjoy this pie made with banana and coconut– a delicious dessert.
Why it Works: Tender vs. Flaky
People are in two camps when it comes to pie crust preference: tender or flaky. It is difficult to have one crust with both characteristics. The same thing causes both of these attributes: fat. When you leave the fat (butter or shortening) in large pieces in the dough it will melt in the oven creating many layers, giving a flaky effect. If you cut the fat into the dry ingredients until it is well distributed, it will melt and coat each grain of flour, making for a tender crust. To achieve the tender/flaky crust of people's dreams, leave big and little pieces of fat in your pie dough.

Packers Fans Celebrate At Lambeau Rally
Tickets To Packers' Rally Sell Out Fast
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay Packers fans turned out in droves for a Super Bowl celebration at Lambeau Field on Tuesday.
It has been 14 years since a celebration like the one in Green Bay on Tuesday afternoon, and fans showed how much they love their team.
Wisconsin fans have been celebrating since Sunday's Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers near Dallas. The victory gave Green Bay its fourth Super Bowl title.
Coach Mike McCarthy, along with several players, thanked the sold-out crowed of more than 50,000.
"I want to thank the fans. You're clearly an energy source for our football team," McCarthy said. "Just keep bringing that passion, that energy, and we'll keep bringing those trophies back home to you. Great job this year!"
Fans like Jan Pliva, of the Czech Republic, were still eager to celebrate the Packers' season.
"I think it's pretty awesome that they won the Super Bowl -- right this year, when I am here. It's just awesome -- a Super Bowl win after 14 years," Pliva said.
Aside from the Lombardi Trophy's entrance and a standing ovation for Donald Driver, the loudest it got at Lambeau Field was for Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Although it was just 7 degrees at Lambeau Field on Tuesday, the fans showed why they really are the best in the world.
"We accomplished our goal. We set out, on March 16, 2010, to bring another championship back to Titletown," McCarthy said.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt also participated. The event also featured a special season highlights video on Lambeau Field's TundraVision and a celebratory fireworks display at the conclusion.
Tickets for the rally sold out quickly. Team spokesman Aaron Popkey said 50,000 of the $5 tickets were available for Tuesday afternoon's Return to Titletown rally and all were sold by Monday night. The money will go to charity.
The online ticket sales site StubHub was selling the tickets for as much as $140.

Asbestosis is a lung disease that occurs from breathing in asbestos fibers.
Pulmonary fibrosis - from asbestos exposure; Interstitial pneumonitis - from asbestos exposure
Breathing in asbestos fibers can cause scar tissue (fibrosis) to form inside the lung. Scarred lung tissue does not expand and contract normally.
How severe the disease is depends on how long the person was exposed to asbestos and the amount he or she breathed in. Often, people do not notice symptoms for 20 years or more after the asbestos exposure.
Asbestos fibers were commonly used in construction before 1975. Asbestos exposure occurred in asbestos mining and milling, construction, fireproofing, and other industries. Families of asbestos workers can also be exposed from particles brought home on the worker's clothing.
Other asbestos-related diseases include:
Workers today are less likely to get asbestos-related diseases because of government regulations.
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of getting asbestos-related diseases.
Possible other symptoms include:
When listening to the chest with a stethoscope (auscultation), the doctor may hear a crackling sound called rales.
These tests may help diagnose the disease:
There is no cure. Stopping exposure to asbestos is essential. To ease symptoms, drainage, chest percussion, and vibration can help remove fluids from the lungs.
The doctor may prescribe aerosol medications to thin lung fluids. People with this condition may need to receive oxygen by mask or by a plastic piece that fits into the nostrils. Certain patients may need a lung transplant.
You can ease the stress of this illness by joining a support group whose members share common experiences and problems. See lung disease - support group.
The outcome depends on the amount of asbestos you were exposed to, and for how long. This condition tends to get worse more slowly than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis if you stop being exposed to asbestos.
Patients who develop malignant mesothelioma tend t ohave a poor outcome. About 75% of those who are affected die within 1 year.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you suspect that you've been exposed to asbestos or if you have unexplained symptoms.
In people who have been exposed to asbestos for more than 10 years, screening with a chest x-ray every 3 to 5 years may detect asbestos-related diseases early. Stopping cigarette smoking can dramatically reduce the risk of asbestos-related lung cancer.

Background Briefing on Secretary Kerry's Trip to Republic of Korea, China, and Indonesia
Joint Press Conference by Secretary Kerry and South Korean Foreign Minister Yun
Secretary of State John Kerry made his fifth trip to Asia since 2013. He visited officials in South Korea, China, Indonesia, and United Arab Emirates, February 13-18, 2014.
Secretary Kerry's remarks before the press conference in Seoul:
SECRETARY KERRY: Well, thank you very much, Minister Yun, my friend, Byung-se. I appreciate very, very much the generous welcome, and I appreciate my in-depth, comprehensive discussion that I just had with President Park. And I especially thank both President Park and Minister Yun for a very warm and generous welcome, as well as for a very productive discussion. It's a great pleasure for me to be back in Seoul.
And while it's interesting – both of us are focused on the current Olympics, and we are both rooting for our home teams, but it is noteworthy that preparations are already underway for PyeongChang in 2018. It shows you how much work has to be done and how the process really never stops.
This is my fifth trip to Asia as the Secretary of State, and I want to confirm that the United States rebalance to the Asia Pacific remains a top priority for the Obama Administration. Every day, at the President's direction, we are directing more diplomatic, more economic and more military resources to help advance the goals that we share with our partners throughout this region.
The U.S.-Republic of Korea alliance is crucial to that rebalance. And our relationship is without question the lynchpin of stability and of security in Northeast Asia. That's why President Obama hosted President Park for a productive set of meetings last year, and that's why, as Minister Yun just noted, the President will visit Seoul for the fourth time this April. And that is why Foreign Minister Yun was also the first foreign minister that I hosted in the new year, and that is why I am here today, on the first stop in my visit to Asia in 2014. This is an important moment. There are vital issues in the region, and this is a central relationship to resolving any of those issues.
More than six decades ago, our alliance was forged on the battlefield, and the United States remains unwavering in our commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea. Last month, the United States and the Republic of Korea successfully concluded negotiations funding the U.S. military presence on the Korean Peninsula. A special measures agreement that we signed will help ensure our military alliance is ready and able to deter or defend against North Korean aggression, should that occur. We are in lockstep with the Republic of Korea when it comes to our efforts to address the threat posed by North Korea – posed by their nuclear weapons and the ballistic missile programs.
We have yet to see evidence that North Korea is prepared to meet its obligations and negotiate the verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Let me be clear: The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state. We will not accept talks for the sake of talks. And the D.P.R.K. must show that it will negotiate and live up to its commitments regarding denuclearization.
In both diplomatic and security terms, close, trilateral cooperation among Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo remains essential. And, of course, China has an important role to play. Tomorrow, I will go to Beijing to discuss ways that we may be able to intensify our collective efforts. At the same time, progress in inter-Korean relations is important – not only to the Korean people, but also to the United States and to the world.
So we very much welcome President Park's efforts to build trust, which I believe can lead to improvements in North Korea's human rights situation and ultimately lay the groundwork for peaceful reunification of the Peninsula. We congratulate President Park for her discussions of this, for her willingness to express a vision about it, and particularly for her declarations regarding the possibilities of economic bonanza and other benefits that could come from that vision.
U.S.-Republic of Korea security cooperation extends, obviously, well beyond Northeast Asia. Close cooperation on both regional and global security challenges is a key pillar of the U.S.-Republic of Korea relationship. We have worked together and with international partners in every corner of the globe. For years now, U.S. and South Korean soldiers have served side by side in Afghanistan, and today, the Republic of Korea is a major donor to Afghanistan's reconstruction and stabilization efforts. The Republic of Korea has also contributed to the international efforts to ease the humanitarian suffering in Syria, and also to deal with the problem of refugees in the region.
Let me underscore that the U.S.-Republic of Korea relationship today is much more than a military alliance. It is a global partnership that is growing stronger every year. In the nearly two years since the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement came into force, our bilateral trade has grown to more than $100 billion annually. Today, the Republic of Korea is our sixth-largest trading partner, and there is room, obviously, for even more growth, which we look forward to. This afternoon, we discussed the need to work together to ensure that the KORUS commitments are fully implemented so that job growth and other benefits for both of our peoples can be fully realized.
The strong economic bond that we share really is rooted in the strong bonds among our peoples. Today, more than 1.7 million Korean Americans live in the United States, and nearly 71,000 South Korean students are studying on our shores. For per capita, that is more than any other major economy in the world. And the number of American students here in places like Seoul and Busan continues to rise every year.
So, as we stand here tonight, we can safely say that the United States and the Republic of Korea are strong allies growing stronger; we are partners strengthening the partnership; and we are friends strengthening our friendship.
Last year, we celebrated the 60th year of this extraordinary relationship and all of the transformation that has come with it. This year marks the first year of the next 60. We hope that 2014 and the years that follow will bring about greater prosperity, greater opportunity, stability, and ultimately peace, for our nations and for all of our neighbors.

Wall Street Journal
By: Damian Paletta
December 4, 2013
The White House, Democrats, and their supporters are mobilizing behind a focus for 2014 and beyond on the wage gap between the wealthy and the rest of America.
A paper by a centrist-Democratic think tank, which will be released Wednesday, finds that more than half of U.S. working-age families with children under age 18 earn $60,000 or less a year, and more than 75% earn $100,000 or less a year, putting a new frame on what the White House has described as a growing wage gap in the country.
The Hamilton Project, which is co-chaired by former Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, tried to pull back the curtain on what it described as the "lower middle class," a segment of Americans who live slightly above poverty but struggle to make ends meet.
Also Wednesday, President Barack Obama is expected to highlight the gap between different income groups.
The White House is billing Mr. Obama's speech as a follow to his 2011 speech in Osawatomie, Kansas that painted a picture of an American middle class under siege from wealthy interests, and a preview of his upcoming State of the Union address. Part of Mr. Obama's focus will be on raising the minimum wage, as the White House begins to highlight an issue Democrats hope to inject into the 2014 midterm elections.
"The speech will provide a window into where the president will focus his energies over the next three years," a White House official said.
In addition, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) is planning a big media event to ramp up the Democrats' proposal to extend emergency unemployment benefits to certain Americans, an extension many Republicans oppose.
"Though not officially poor, these individuals and families experience limited economic security," the new Hamilton paper said of the lower middle class. "One major setback could thrust them into economic chaos." It defined the lower middle class as individuals or families with income between 100% and 250% of the federal poverty level.
Among the report's findings:
1) Roughly half of U.S. families live below 250% of the federal poverty level.
2) Close to 50% of lower-middle-class families are headed by an adult who attended college.
3) Nearly 33% of lower-middle-class families receive "income support from a government program." Many of the recipients depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also referred to as food stamps.
4) More than 20% of children face "food insecurity" in 37 states and Washington, D.C.
5) Families that earn slightly more than the federal poverty line can find themselves trapped in a tax bracket that doesn't qualify for low-income benefits and also fails to take advantage of deductions enjoyed by upper-income earners.
The 28-page study comes as Democrats and the White House are making a concerted push to frame their 2014 agenda around a debate about the gap between those at the top and bottom rungs of the economic ladder. Democrats are mobilizing around a plan to raise the hourly minimum wage -currently $7.25 - to $10.10. They are also fighting to prevent cuts in programs like food stamps, saying it is vital to many Americans.
The White House has spent several years pushing for changes in policies that officials say feed into a "growing" income inequality. And Democrats are trying to rally behind recent moves to raise the minimum wage in states and local governments.
But Democrats and Republicans remain divided on what policies most benefit lower and middle-class Americans.
Many Republicans believe raising the minimum wage will discourage businesses from hiring. Republicans have also proposed overhauls to programs like SNAP, saying that if more changes were made to shift people off of the program, it would help boost employment and make people more economically independent.

Alternate name: European Mantid
Family: Mantidae, Mantids view all from this family
Description A large mantis; color ranges from bright green to tan, wing extend beyond tip of abdomen. Large compound eyes tan to chocolate-brown. Distinguished easily by a black-ringed brown spot beneath the fore coxae (walking legs). Similar Chinese Mantis and Carolina Mantis lack brown spot.
Dimensions 2-2 1/2" (50-65 mm) length with wings
Food Primarily diurnal insects such as caterpillars, flies, butterflies, bees, and moths.
Life Cycle Most species of mantis engage in cannibalism, most frequently during mating season with the female eating the male after mating. Eggs are laid in a flat mass left to overwinter attached to exposed twigs above snow. Eggs hatch in late spring almost simultaneously and Nymphs are dispersed by wind or eat one another. 1 generation annually which matures in late summer or early autumn.
Habitat Meadows, on leaves and flowers.
Range Introduced. Found throughout Eastern US n. to Ontario. West to Pacific Northwest.
Discussion Mantises are ambush predators. They camouflage themselves and stand perfectly still, waiting for their prey to stray too near. When it does the mantis then lashes out at remarkable speed. Originating in southern Europe, the Praying Mantis was introduced to North America in 1899 in a shipment of nursery plants. It has been recognized as a beneficial predator, particularly in battling gypsy moths, whose caterpillars it preys on. Unfortunately, their populations are so cannibalistic that they rarely get large enough to have much impact on caterpillar populations. The insect has thrived in many parts of their range and now are found throughout the north-eastern United States and Canada west to the Pacific Northwest.

Oh, I see, probably because nobody saw it. :D
I saw it the second day of its release . . . and as silly as it was I can't say it was too bad when compared to the other films in the series. It's bad, don't get me wrong - just not as bad as about half of the others. Frankly, I'd rank it around 5 or 6. I dunno, I never saw an F13 film in a theater, so I wanted to check it out. I'll wait to see if any of you bothered with this movie before I throw out a few specifics. :D

Nitto trail grapplers.. I've had them on three different f250s and had good luck out of all of them

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The Mississippi Legislature has dealt with multiple deaths of members recently, but colleagues were shaken in a new way over the weekend with the apparent suicide of state Rep. Jessica Sibley Upshaw of Diamondhead.
Upshaw represented Harrison and Hancock counties on the Gulf Coast from January 2004 until her death, but people who knew her best knew she grew up in Okolona in Northeast Mississippi.
Upshaw's body was found Sunday in Mendenhall. Law enforcement officials said she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Rep. Hank Zuber, R-Ocean Springs, who made the motion Monday that the House adjourn in her memory, said she always did what she thought was right "no matter the consequences and no matter who was on the other side."
Upshaw was a staunch Republican, but Zuber said she cast votes based on what she thought was the best for her district and the state.
According to the state Blue Book, Upshaw, age 53, was born in Meridian. But early on her parents, John and Sandra Sibley, moved to Okolona in Chickasaw County where her father practiced law, serving at different times as city attorney and city judge, and her mother was a school teacher.
"They were a prominent family," said Rep. Preston Sullivan, D-Okolona, who remained close to Upshaw during her tenure in the Legislature. "Her father was a good attorney, and her mother taught me American government."
While still living in Okolona, Upshaw had graduated from Amory High School.
The Sibleys moved to the Gulf Coast after he retired from law practice and after losing an election for mayor of Okolona.
Upshaw already was living on the Gulf Coast, moving there to practice law from the Mississippi Delta.
"Jessica was one of the smarter people I ever ran into," Sullivan said. "She could read a bill and give you the meat of what it did. She was a speed reader … And I don't mind saying she had a conscience and a heart."
Early on in her legislative career, Upshaw gained a reputation for sharp interrogation of members handling legislation on the floor of the House. Members who were not prepared often feared seeing her rise to ask questions
"Democrat, Republican it didn't matter," Sullivan said.
One of the stories being repeated Monday at the Capitol was the time then-Gov. Haley Barbour was taking a group via the state airplane to the Gulf Coast to meet with then-President George Bush who was visiting post-Hurricane Katrina. Several people relayed that the governor could not find room on the plane for Upshaw, who had cast a key vote against one of his proposals.
Several members said Monday that they had noticed that she was much quieter this session.
"She was a great person, the best," said Houston dentist Teena Horn, who became friends with Upshaw when they attended the same church on the Gulf Coast. "I am very saddened. I thought she was a great friend."
On Monday, House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, also referred to Upshaw as a friend and former classmate at the University of Mississippi Law School. For a time at the start of the session, Gunn spoke of the three House members, the two senators and various other family members who have died this session
"Death is staring us in the face at every turn," said Gunn, a Baptist deacon.
From the speaker's podium Gunn also announced that Rep. Bennett Malone, D-Carthage, was undergoing surgery related to an aneurysm.
Upshaw, chair of the Conservation and Water Resources Committee, was found at the home of former Rep. Clint Rotenberry, a Simpson County Republican.
Gunn said Upshaw is survived by her mother, sister and her daughter who is living South Korea.
"She was a hard-working lady and very capable lady," said former Democratic House Speaker Billy McCoy of Rienzi, who said he felt he developed a special bond with Upshaw because of her Northeast Mississippi ties and because her grandfather, like him, was a former high school ag teacher.
"I am saddened by the situation."

Aspen is a unique Python web framework developed by Chad Whitacre. I am still evaluating it, but one thing I can say unequivocally is that it's different. Very different. Aspen divorces itself from the MVC pattern that every major — and almost every minor — web framework has been relying on for the past decade. While each framework has its perks and annoyances, they all have this underlying MVC-like interface. Aspen throws that all away.
Aspen lodges itself in a small niche between php-like spaghetti code and a complicated package structure full of python models, views, controllers, and templates. In Aspen, template and control code live in the same file, but in separate pages, called Simplates. In a rebellion against regular expression url parsing, Aspen uses the filesystem to define url structure and paths; like in the old days of statically served HTML files.
One thing I love about Aspen is how easy it is to get up and running. Aspen will serve a single HTML file with no python code without any boilerplate. It serves static files for css, javascript, and images just as easily. To add a dynamic page to your Aspen powered site, you simply use the aforementioned simplates, which include python controllers and Tornado inspired templates in the same file. Aspen provides numerous service connectors, so deployment can also be trivial.
Another great feature of Aspen is its documentation. At first glance, the docs seem sparse and rather limited. However, they are well organized, and every page seems to answer every question I have on the topic succinctly and quickly. Chad seems to have a terrific minimalist policy of telling you exactly what you want to know in as few words as possible. As a writer, I know just how difficult this is to accomplish without repeating oneself.
On the negative side, I do have misgivings as to how well Aspen's filesystem urls it can scale. Chad has assured me that Aspen is up for running large sites. I appreciate the power of regex urls, and I don't necessarily like having arbitrary file extensions in URLS. I think locators should be succinct and divorced from implementation details. Ideally, I believe there may be a happy medium between Aspen's enforced folder structure, and the overly-abstract and overly-complicated url scheme Django and its kin provide.
Another downside is that I haven't figured out a good way to unit test Aspen simplates. You can refactor much of the code into backend libraries and test that, of course, or you can start the service running and mock requests. However, I miss the TestClient feature from Django that allows me to mock a request without running the server. It provides a better analysis of code coverage, and is closer to the actual code.
Now, with the review over, I'd like to introduce a little project I've started to provide some vital features that Aspen core is missing.
Trembling is kind of a catch-all project with a few basic helpers and a few useful projects. Namely, trembling provides:
- Basic sessions
- Basic user authentication
- Less than basic single request messages
- A simple redirect response
Aspen itself does not define or require a model layer; you're free to use the ORM, DBAPI connector, or NoSQL database of your choice. Trembling arbitrarily chooses mongoengine for the models. I made no effort to make pluggable backends like Django does; Aspen does not encourage excessive layers of abstraction.
I also don't know how secure trembling's session and auth features are. If you find a security hole, pull requests are welcome. Overall, I think the combination of Trembling and Aspen will be very useful for my future basic sites. I would also like to try it on a more complicated project just to see how well it performs.

More than just a sweet treat, our Organic Sun Dried White Mulberries are a true superfood. Our whole, sun-dried, white mulberries are nature's version of candy. A delightful alternative to raisins, mulberries are fun to eat straight from the bag. Alternatively, they can be added to oatmeal, pancakes, cookies and smoothies.
White mulberries (non-GMO) are a rich source of resveratrol which is found primarily in red wine. Mulberry fruits and leaves also contain a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients. Mulberry extract contains moranoline, which may delay the absorption of carbohydrates and may promote healthy glucose levels already within normal range. The anthocyanins in Mulberry are strong antioxidants and may provide cardiovascular protection, immune enhancement and stress reduction as potential health benefits.
Mulberry has long been used in traditional medicines. Among its many uses, it has been given as a tonic for kidneys, fatigue, anemia and weakness. Clinical research has shown that Mulberry might provide multiple health benefits, including encouraging healthy cellular replication and membrane stability; promoting healthy cholesterol; and controlling the digestion of carbohydrates.
We carry the white Turkish variety of organic raw mulberry which is shaken from the tree and sun-dried to optimize natural sweetness. Our whole white Turkish mulberries are 100% organic, raw, gluten-free, vegan and contain no preservatives.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Sun Dried White Mulberries may include:
● May provide cardiovascular protection

Gingrich's large and growing empire illustrates the scope of the conservative marketplace. In 2007, Gingrich launched American Solutions for Winning the Future, a "527" organization that can raise and spend unlimited amounts — more than $14 million last year, almost all from small-dollar donors. He also created the for-profit American Solutions, which does the nonprofit's telemarketing. The Gingrich Group offers consulting. There is also the for-profit Center for Health Transformation, funded largely by pharmaceutical companies, and CHT Press, which thus far has published three books, including two by Gingrich. Gingrich Productions creates multimedia products. Most recently, he formed an umbrella group of religious conservative organizations.
He also has a deal with townhall.com, a top right-wing portal Web site (and part of another multifaceted player in this marketplace, Eagle Publishing), to distribute a twice-weekly e-mail newsletter. Largely as a result of all this activity, he has one of the most coveted mailing lists in the business, which commands one of the highest premiums around (starting at $125 per 1000 names). Such lists of proven conservative contributors — who skew heavily toward white, suburban retirees with disposable income — are attractive not only to other conservative groups, but to companies selling financial services, health products, and other wares.
And all of these ventures — plus his contract as an FNC commentator, his highly lucrative speaking engagements, and his paid fellowships with prestigious conservative think-tanks — not only make money off the Gingrich name but promote it, placing him and his products in ever-greater demand.
Whatever Gingrich can do, Palin can likely do better. All of the above, and more, is open to her.
Like Gingrich, who has made an art of it, Palin boosts her visibility, and status, by coquettishly stoking the rumors of a presidential candidacy.
Whether Palin intends to seek the nation's highest office in 2012 or not, she certainly won't say for the next 18 months. If she isn't planning to run, saying so would remove some of her cachet, media attention, and influence. And if she is running, she won't say so — because federal-election laws would then prohibit her from involvement in any political-action committees.
Who's Worth What
When lists of Sarah Palin's contributors inevitably hit the market, how much will they be worth?? Here are the going rates, per 1000 names, of lists associated with various name brands in the right-wing world. *
Rush Limbaugh $135
Bob Barr $130
Newt Gingrich $125

Security companies in general and, unfortunately, anti-malware companies in particular, are often accused of 'hyping' threats because of a perceived self-interest. However, in the main, legitimate vendors and researchers like those at ESET typically try to resist overhyping or playing up threats where possible, in favor of more balanced discussion that can help customers take the sensible precautions needed to protect themselves.
So, then, there is something of a dilemma when faced with threats that are certainly not as widespread, but that are relevant to a population that is largely (if not entirely) unaware of the threat's existence. Do we want to go the route of avoiding talking about the issue, and risk being accused of understating the issues to the market? Or do we try to find a way to talk about the problem that reflects the accurate risk level to the community, despite the peril of being perceived to be building market share by hyping lower impact threats? This, for instance, is the quandary we face when we try to talk about threats that affect Apple's Mac OSX platform. When we see the current discussion in the media, we feel obligated to make some comment and answer our customers' questions, but we certainly don't want to be involved in spreading hype or misinformation.
On the one hand, we know that OSX malware does exist – and I'll talk about that in a moment – but on the other, we have a two-fold problem of a lack of awareness regarding internet security within the user community, combined with a lower level of threat volume compared to other platforms.
When epidemiologists start to see new strains of influenza breaking out in populations of animals such as swine, birds or bats they always have the concern that this could lead to the infection crossing the species barrier in to human (or other species) populations. In fact, as pathologist Steven Riedel states "Many infectious diseases are known to cross species barriers, and generally many of these infections occur because humans come into contact with an organism that is already capable of causing human infection" (Riedel, 2006) While at a certain point direct comparisons with biological epidemiology break down when speaking about computer related malware, there is a salient point here.
The main justification for using an Anti-malware product on non Windows systems (e.g. Macs or GNU/Linux systems), at least in a business scenario, has long been to prevent the spread of Windows malware via that platform to Windows systems on the same network. The main argument against using anti-malware is based on a related presumption: that 'Only Windows systems get PC viruses'. Of course, other systems won't get PC viruses, because there's a big architectural difference between Unix like systems and Windows systems that precludes the possibility – but that's like saying that cars don't get in airline accidents. This is where an analogy might actually take flight (sorry!) – there are many more cars in the world than there are aircraft, and there are aguably more security measures taken over aircraft safety than there are for cars – and yet, nobody would deny that there are threats and risks applicable to both modes of transport, or claim that the threats to aircraft are overhyped because cars have the most accidents (leave aside that the media typically do disproportionately report aircraft accidents – because their frequency is so much lower).
If you have been involved in computer security (and particularly the antimalware branch of that world) for any length of time, you will have come across the typical arguments about Windows vs. Mac vs, GNU/Linux (or whatever your favoured OS flavour here) security, which more often than not are informed by platform loyalty or antipathy, vs. a deep understanding of behavioral and technical issues that determine the true security "surface" of a platform (and perhaps a mistaken belief that the security issues relevant to Windows ME and earlier still apply to NT-derived Windows versions like Windows 7).
There is a saying that 'security is only as strong as its weakest link'. In almost every case, regardless of platform, the weakest link is the interface between the chair and the keyboard. So let us look at security from that point of view, and try to decouple the issue from specifics about platform:
Business customers recognize the importance of comprehensive security (and often have mandatory compliance initiatives) as well as ensuring that their non-Windows user population do not distribute files which are carriers for Windows threats. Also, and we believe equally importantly, we know that security is defensive in nature. The time to deploy security is BEFORE you have a problem, not afterwards
So, to sum it up, we never want to be the ones hyping threats, but we recognize that there's a need for good information and that all our customers deserve the ability to be able to catch the threats that they might otherwise fall prey to through clever social engineering, or just bad luck.
Finally, because the ultimate vector for most malware is not the system, it's the user, we've taken the added step of bundling in online security training (a quick and easy program for typical users) into our ESET Cybersecurity product for Mac. This will help users to configure their networks and systems for effective security, and to recognize the common ploys malware authors use in social engineering attacks.
The recent MacDefender malware outbreak on OSX is a good example of this: if you didn't accept the software's invitation to install itself to "remove" the nonexistent viruses you were told you had, it could do no harm to the system. If you were running ESET Cybersecurity, you would have had the extra protection in place to block the attack (removing any doubt about whether to install or not – not an easy choice for less technically advanced users). If you had taken the training you would have recognized MacDefender for the rather primitive social engineering attack it was (and before any Windows users get smug, this is an attack that has been very common on that platform for some years with fake products like Antivirus XP 20xx http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/antivirus-rogue.aspx).
You may believe that anti-malware software is something only a Windows user needs, and in some contexts, you may be correct. "Do I need anti-virus" is not a question with a simple one-size-fits-all answer, but I'm sure most people would agree that education is a good thing and that defensive Security software combined with training equates to a safer online environment for all of us.
As Dan Clark noted in his recent post, Apple has issued a support document on how to avoid or remove MacDefender that can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Modeling and Inventories
NONROAD2008a installation and updates
"NONROAD2008" is the overall version designation for the set of modeling files including the core model, default data files, graphical user interface (GUI), and reporting utility, released in April 2009. NONROAD2008a is essentially the same model, but with one small correction to the NOx emission factor data file which decreases the NOx emissions from land-based diesel engines by roughly 1 percent in 2007 (less in later years), which matches the emissions generated by NONROAD2005. The only change to the core model (nonroad.exe) is a change in the version number that gets included in the output files and reports generated by the reporting utility. The new version says: "Core Model ver 2008a, 07/06/09"
Known Issues:
Users who have MS-Office 2007 have reported problems getting the NONROAD reporting utility to work. This even includes users who install the runtime version of MS-Access 2002 that is provided with the NONROAD model. We have not been able to find a fix for this issue. But it is always possible to load the output file (e.g., .OUT or .BMX file) into spreadsheet software such as Excel, importing it as comma-delimited text. It may also be possible to use one of the multi-year postprocessor utilities to import the .OUT or .BMX files into MS-Access and create whatever queries you want, rather than relying on the queries built into the reporting utility.
Complete installation instructions, which must be read and followed carefully for successful model operation, are contained in the file:
Information about what has changed in this version of NONROAD is available in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document:
NOTE: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, available as a free download, to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more about PDF, and for a link to the free Acrobat Reader.
420f09021.pdf (5 pp, 190K, EPA420-F-09-021, April 2009)
Information about the changes in emission inventories estimated by NONROAD2008 relative to NONROAD2005 is presented in:
420f09020.pdf (29 pp, 100K, EPA420-F-09-020, April 2009)
Information specifically about the Graphic User Interface (GUI) updates are in the document:
nrgui08.zip (110K)
Basic instructions for the operation of the NONROAD model are contained in the NONROAD2005 User's Guide, which has not been updated for NONROAD2008. Detailed explanations of the default inputs are contained in the technical reports that are provided on the NONROAD Model web page along with this version of the model. These technical reports have not been updated from their NONROAD2005 versions, but much of the basic information is still valid.
Policy questions concerning use of the model for emission inventory preparation should be directed to your EPA regional office. For your regional office see:
Technical modeling questions that arise that are not covered by the above documents may be addressed to the nonroad modeling team by one of the following methods.

"Reaching Out" -- Promoting Community Engagement
Experts discuss the importance of an organic and systemic relationship between the different sects of the Muslim community and governments in order to combat radicalization.
This session was part of the symposium, UK and U.S. Approaches in Countering Radicalization: Intelligence, Communities, and the Internet, which was cosponsored with Georgetown University's Center for Peace and Security Studies and King's College London's International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation. This event was made possible by Georgetown University's George T. Kalaris Intelligence Studies Fund and the generous support of longtime CFR member Rita E. Hauser. Additionally, this event was organized in cooperation with the CFR's Civil Society, Markets, and Democracy Initiative.

Michelle Wie is by far the most attractive female golfer that I have seen, many of the golfers I see today, not to be rude, sometimes look like lesbians. In my opinion, I think Michelle is a true Korean beauty. Michelle was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her parents are both natives of South Korea who came to the United States in the '80s. Her mother used to be South Korea's women's amateur golf champion and competed in a Miss Korea pageant, so now we know where Michelle got her looks and golf skills. She is over six feet tall, her physique is both statuesque and athletic.
Michelle began playing golf at the age of four. According to an Associated Press profile, she was winning nearly every junior event she entered by the age of 11. This hot Asian stunner told the AP that she plays golf for about four hours a day on weekdays and seven hours a day on weekends. In tournaments, Michelle's dad served as her caddie through most of 2003, but the family hired a professional caddie for the PGA Sony Open. Also at the age of 10, Michelle became the youngest player ever to qualify for a USGA amateur championship when she made the field for the USGA Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Michelle turned professional shortly before her 16th birthday accompanied by an enormous amount of hype and endorsements.

-- Director for Family Formation Studies, Focus on the Family
-- "All sexual sin is wrong because it fails to mirror the Trinitarian image, but homosexuality does more than fail. It's a particularly evil lie of Satan because he knows that it overthrows the very image of the Trinitarian God in creation, revealed in the union of male and female." Adds: "nothing else challenges this image of the Triune God so profoundly and thoroughly as homosexuality. It's not what we were made for."
-- Claims being gay/lesbian is just a "social construct" and "political statement"
-- On gay families: "So, we must ask, 'Is it wise to enter the same- sex family experiment with a generation of children so we can learn how it will turn out?' Is it ethical to turn thousands of children into human guinea pigs? The answer must be a resounding 'no.'"
-- Says same-sex marriage "not only redefines marriage wholesale for everyone, but it actually deconstructs humanity itself."
-- The American Anthropological Association wrote a strong letter condemning Stanton's "deliberate misrepresentation of the anthropological community" on the subject of marriage equality.
-- Wrote article saying it was "shameful, "manipulative," and "not good parenting" for two dads to allow their daughter to make a video defending her family

Video feature: 'New Perspectives: A Journey to Nicaragua and Honduras'
Posted November 22, 2010; 12:01 p.m.
A group of 16 Princeton undergraduates traveled to Nicaragua and Honduras this August and September to learn about the religious, social and political situations in both countries with the Office of Religious Life and Witness for Peace, a nonprofit group.
Alison Boden, dean of religious life and the chapel, leads an international tour at the end of each summer for Princeton students to look at religion, human rights and social change.
Tasnim Shamma, of the class of 2011, created this video reflecting the dean's and students' experiences, including visiting a woman who made a living from food she found in a dump and banana farmers who are protesting use of a toxic pesticide.
