B/c a 12-1 SEC team that has won it's conference game, will get in as #2 over a 12-0 Team that has NO Conference Game like Notre Dame & K. State. It's happen before.
So in reality if #2, #3, #4 and #5 win out, it'll be 'LSU vs Oregon' for the SHIP and Notre Dame fans will cry bloody murder.
Some are saying at most Sugar Bowl though, if K. State, Oregon and Notre Dame are undefeated. Who know's?
Sometimes even a 2 Loss SEC Team can go .... lol
Still a lot of Football to play and only LSU stands in Bama's way IMO and that might not be much of a stand considering the inconsistency we've all witnessed this year.
Still for Bama fans, is LSU your only concern? I mean your 'D' should have a similar turn out for Johnny Football and is Auburn really saving up everything for the Iron Bowl? I think not...

Please keep replies as verbose as possible, post such as "just use XNA" are not inherently helpful. Please describe how to leverage XNA. This post will likely help others in the future.

I recently tried an SSX tc150x choke in my Remington 870. After 3 shots I decided to switch out the choke to try another choke. The choke was froze up in the barrel and I couldn't get it out. Ultimately I used a pair of pliers to unscrew the choke. It was difficult to get out and had a lot of resistence even even after it was unthreaded. The choke went in easily but came out hard.
I tried 3 other chokes and they all went in and out smoothly. I really liked the SSX choke but now I am a little concerned. Any suggestions?

Good news for malaria patients - Glenmark Generics Europe launches generic drug Atovaquone Proguanil
Mumbai: Glenmark Generics Europe (GGEL), launched its first generic drug, Atovaquone Proguanil, in the UK following the revocation of the Malarone patent in the High court in the UK.
The judgement has been handed down by the UK court in the case, that involved Glenmark Generics Europe, Glenmark Generics UK, and Mylan against the Wellcome Foundation and the Glaxo group.
The case involved the revocation of Glaxo's patent for its anti-malarial product Malarone. Following proceedings in the High Court, Mr. Justice Arnold revoked Glaxo's patent on the basis that it was obvious.
Atovaquone Proguanil is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of acute, uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria, particularly where there is likely to be resistance. IMS Health sales data for the 12 month period ending September 2012 estimates that Atovaquone Proguanil garnered sales of $27.89 million (Euro 20.69 million) in the UK.
Glenmark Generics Europe is part of Glenmark Generics. The European arm is headquartered in the UK and operates through its own entities and distribution partners in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Ireland. Glenmark Generics Europe has an exciting portfolio of more than 300 Marketing authorizations approved in Europe. In addition to these internal filings, GGEL continues to identify and explore external development partnerships to supplement and accelerate the growth of the existing pipeline and portfolio.

The Wax Doll and the Stepmotherpage: 99
ROLLY was a small boy five years old who wore knickerbockers. He had great brown eyes and curls that hung over his forehead; but Nina, his sister, who was a year older, had yellow hair and a white face. She was so thin that when Rolly tried hard he could lift her off the ground.
They had no mother, but their Papa was kind to them, and one day when he came from town he brought a beautiful wax doll for Nina. She had many dolls, but none like this one. Its hair was real; you could curl and comb it as much as you pleased; it had real eyelashes, and fingers and toes of wax, and the best of all was it had little teeth. You could see them always, for its mouth was never shut.
Nurse Bromage, who looked after the children, said it was quite too good to play with, and put the doll away on the top shelf. Nina cried; she loved the doll so much, with its little teeth. But Nurse Bromage did not care; for, you see, she was a cross old thing and didn't mind if other people weren't page: 100 happy, if only she was. But sometimes she went to visit her cousin in the country, and then Jennie the housemaid used to let them play with it as much as they pleased. One day when they were playing with her one of the tucks in the doll's flannel petticoat got loosened. Nina kissed her and Rolly told her they didn't mean to do it; and so they thought it was all right.
A little time after that Nurse Bromage told them that when their Papa came home the next day he was going to bring them a new Mamma. The children clapped their hands when they heard that.
"Then we will have a Mamma too!" they said, "like the other children!"
"Yes," said Nina. "Perhaps she will come and kiss us when we are in bed, like the pretty lady kisses the little girl in the picture in Papa's bedroom!"
But Nurse Bromage knit up her forehead and shook her head.
"All the house will belong to your new Mamma," she said, "and all the things in it. She will not like you at all, because if it were not for you she would get all your Papa's things when he dies; but now you will have to get some."
Then Nina and Rolly were quite unhappy. They went and sat on a little box behind the door where they always sat when Nurse Bromage scolded them.page: 101
"We'll tell the new Mamma that we don't want any of Papa's things," said Nina. "Won't we, Rolly?"
"We'll tell her just as soon as she comes," said Rolly. "But perhaps she looks like Nurse Bromage!"
"Oh dear!" said Nina, and hung her head. Her neck was so thin that when she hung it, it always seemed as though it might break off.
The next day when the carriage came the servants and the two children went into the great hall to meet their Papa and the lady. Nina had on a white dress with a blue sash; and Rolly had a black velvet suit with three pockets, one in the jacket and two in the trousers.
"I think she'll think I'm quite a big boy, when she sees me in this," said Rolly.
When the carriage stopped their Papa helped out the lady. She was very beautiful; tall, with red cheeks, and lips like cherries, and black hair shining like a crow's wing. She had on a silk dress with a black rustling train, and that made her grander still. She was very beautiful, but she had not a happy face. No one had ever taught her that it was not money and fine houses and fine clothes that could make a person happy; and so her heart felt all over as though it were pricked by little pins. So the hearts of all people feel, when they want more than they have got and are not full of love.page: 102
"She isn't like Nurse Bromage. She's just like your best wax‐doll," Rolly whispered; but Nina was so afraid she did not lift her face.
When their new Mamma came into the hall, "These are my little children," the Papa said. But she did not look at them; she only bent down and touched Rolly's forehead with her lips. Nina she did not kiss at all.
"Rolly, I can't tell her she can have all Papa's things! Oh! I am so afraid of her," said Nina, when they went up the long stairs holding each other's hands.
"I'm not frightened," said Rolly, "I'm a man and you are only a woman, you know. But I don't like her. Why didn't she kiss you?"
"Oh, Rolly, I love her!" said Nina, with tears in her eyes.
That evening Nurse Bromage brought them to sit in the parlour for a little while. Their Papa gave them some nuts to crack, but the beautiful lady never spoke to them; she sat with her screen before the fire.page: 103
"You see, Nina," said Rolly, when they were lying in their little beds in the dark, "it is quite true; she does hate us. And I don't love her; not a bit. I'd like to take my big drum and beat it at her bedroom door when she's asleep!"
"Oh, you mustn't say so, Rolly!" said Nina.
But Rolly didn't care, and soon went to sleep and so did she. But the cough soon woke her up again, and she lay alone in the dark, and a beautiful thought came to her. She wished it would be morning soon that she might tell Rolly. She folded her little hands together, and pressed the palms. For all that she couldn't tell him when the morning came, for Nurse Bromage was by, and no one could say anything nice while she was there. After breakfast she taught them their letters. When Nina called B, D, she whipped her hands with a little rod tied with a red string; but she didn't whip Rolly because he was her favourite.
By and by, when it was afternoon, Nurse Bromage went to sleep on the sofa. Then Nina called Rolly behind the door.
"What is it?" said Rolly, coming close and lifting his ear.
"You know my wax doll, Rolly; my best wax doll?" said Nina.
"Yes," said Rolly.
"I want to give it to her, Rolly. Do you think she'll like it?"
"Our new Mamma."
"Oh, yes!" said Rolly, "of course she will. I don't believe she ever saw one like it in her life before!"page: 104
"And you'll take it to her, Rolly? You are not afraid, are you?"
"I should think not," said Rolly, sticking his hands into his knickerbocker pockets, and swelling himself out. "I'll take it."
"Let us go and fetch it before Nurse wakes," said Nina. But Rolly paused, shaking his head and looking very sagacious.
"She'll find out and she'll whip you, Nina!"
"It doesn't matter," said Nina, a little sorrowfully. "You know she will whatever I do."
So they went to the next room. Rolly pulled the chair, and Nina put the footstool on; and he climbed up, while she held fast. When he had got the doll he came down quickly; and they took a beautiful piece of white paper with a silver edge, that came with the china tea‐service, to wrap it in.
"Isn't she lovely?" said Nina, as she laid it in the paper and smoothed out the little soft curls.
"She just is!" said Rolly. "Aren't you sorry to give her away?"
"No," said Nina; but when she looked at the little teeth her lip trembled. She gave it to Rolly to hold while she went for a piece of string. They neither of them knew how to tie a bow; but Rolly said he didn't think it mattered, because their new Mamma could untie a knot by herself, he guessed.
"You must tell her I'm sorry the one tuck is out," page: 105 said Nina, "and I would have mended it only I don't know how to work."
Rolly put the doll under his arm, and Nina went with him to the door of the long passage.
"You are not afraid, are you?"
"Oh, no!" said Rolly; but his heart beat so that the doll against his breast went up and down, up and down.
He walked up the long passage to the door of the new Mamma's bedroom. He gave a little knock with his forefinger, but no one answered. He thought there could be no one inside, so gave a very brave one with his fist.
The new Mamma said, "Who is there?"
"I," said Rolly; and he pushed open the door, and walked in.
It was almost dinner‐time, and there were going to be visitors that evening. The lady was sitting before the glass dressing. She had on a black velvet dress, and the sleeves were wide open to show her arms, as white as the snow, and covered with bracelets.
Rolly walked in and stood before her looking at her.
"What do you want?" she asked.
He was such a wee boy when he stood so close beside her, and she was a grand, beautiful woman.
"I've brought this for you," said Rolly, "and you may keep it for your own. It's Nina sends it to you."page: 106
He put the parcel down in her lap, and folded his hands behind him.
"And who is Nina?" asked the lady.
"Why, Nina is Nina, to be sure! My sister," said Rolly. "And she says you mustn't mind the one tuck being out, because she would have mended it if she could."
The lady unrolled the parcel and looked at the doll.
"You see," he said, picking up the doll's dress and showing the petticoat, "that's the tuck; but it's all that's the matter with her. Isn't it lovely?" said Rolly, sticking his hands in his pockets and watching to see what effect it would have upon her.
"You didn't notice the teeth, I suppose, did you?" said Rolly, eyeing her critically. "It's real teeth, and the hair too. You can put oil on if you like."
"Who told Nina to send it?" asked the lady.
"Why, no one," said Rolly; "she thought of it last night when she was in bed."
"What made her want to send it to me?"
"Well," said Rolly, drawing confidentially nearer, "you mustn't tell, of course; but Nina, she said if she gave it you, perhaps you'd kiss her, like the lady in the picture kisses the little girl, you know, when she's in bed."
The lady looked down at the doll. "Go and tell Nina, that I say 'thank you.'"page: 107
"It's a beautiful doll," said Rolly, fearing she had not enough admired it, "and the boots are red. Good‐bye!"
When he got to the door he looked back. "I'll tell her you don't mind about the petticoat, eh?"
"Yes," said the lady, so Rolly went.
That evening the children sat on their hassocks before the fire. Nurse Bromage had taken the light out and gone downstairs to get some of the nice things that were over from the big people's dinner; so they drew their little hassocks as close together as they could and sat looking at the fire.
"She said 'thank you,'" said Rolly; "she must have liked it!"
"Oh no, I think she's angry," said Nina.
Rolly could see two large tears on her face, so he rubbed her cheeks with his coat sleeve. It was rather rough, but it did her good.
"I don't believe she could be so bad as not to like your doll," he said; and they sat still looking at the fire.
Then the door opened softly.
"There she comes!" said Rolly, looking round—"I knew she would."
But the little girl sat quite huddled up with fear, and quite cold. The lady came in; you could see in the firelight how beautiful she was, with her diamonds sparkling, and her velvet dress and her black hair.page: 108
"This is Nina!" said Rolly. "Here she sits!"
The lady did not speak. She brought the rocking‐chair from the corner and put it before the fire and sat down.
"Come!" she said; and she lifted the little girl up with her strong white hands and sat her on her knee. She held the thin little face fast and kissed the mouth six times, very softly.
"My dear little daughter," she said, and laid the head down on her breast.
Rolly, on his hassock before the fire, stroked his little knees for gladness, and his round eyes were just as bright as the coals.
The new Mamma called him to come and stand at her side. She put her arm quite tight round him.
"You are just like the wax doll, and much prettier too," he said, looking up at her. "Nina and I, we like you very much. But I didn't like you first."
"Why not?"
"Because—a—because—a—because—you didn't kiss her. But I like you now," he said, edging suddenly nearer to her, and taking hold of her face with one hand to turn it to him. "And you know, New Mamma, we didn't want any of Papa's things. You can have them all. I'll take care of Nina," he added, drawing himself up; "I'm nearly a big man already. I can climb into bed right from the ground by myself, and button my clothes too!"page: 109
"You dear little boy!" said the lady, and she kissed him on his eyes, and on his forehead, and on the brown curls that hung down.
Then Rolly put his head down on her shoulder, and rubbed his curls softly against her neck.
"It's so nice and happy; just like a birthday! Isn't it, Nina?" he said.
But Nina only pressed the lady's waist with all her little strength.
"And you won't let Nurse Bromage s‐col‐d Nina for giving you her doll; will you, my New Mamma?" said Rolly. "Poor Nina, you know!"
"No one shall hurt her now," said the lady, "she is my little daughter."
"Yes; and I'll be your big son too, if you like!" said Rolly, looking up, "and take care of you!"
"So you shall, my darling."
"Yes," said Rolly, very much excited, "and—I—I'll always get you—canary seed—for your bird—and—I—I'll build you a house of shells—and—and—"
"You shall do it all for me, just to‐morrow," said the lady. "Where are your little beds? I shall carry Nina, and you shall show me. I want to undress you both."
"Will you kiss us when we have our nightgowns on?"
Rolly put his mouth close to her ear.page: 110
"Will you lie with us a little while?"
"Oh! it's just like a birthday," said Rolly—"only it's much nicer!"

Have been rohunting hard everyday for a week and have not heard one gobbler. Hunting in Texas on private land that has very little pressure. The property is over 1600 acres. Have seen hens everyday exclusively in the afternoon on dirtroads appearing to forage for food.
I am using a Knight & Hale shock gobbler owl call and a crow call. I use the owl call about 30 minutes before daylight and then around 9 if I have not heard anything I will use my crow call. At almost dark, I again use my owl call. I have not heard a thing!!!!! I know there are birds there. I see tons of tracks and poop in the road but no gobbling.
I have used these calls in the past with very good success. When I don't hear anything in the morning, I find myself a pretty open spot and soft call every 12 to 15 minutes. Nada. Silch. Nothing.
Can anyone give me some advise, help? The weather has been off and on. One day it's windy and overcast the next it's sunny and warm. Just can't figure it out.
I park my truck at the front of the entrance gate and walk in about two miles so I know I am not disturbing the birds that way. After it gets light, I am very careful and walk slow and easy. I never call from the road, always at least 50 yards away from the road.
Welcome any ideas, suggestion. Getting pretty frustrating. But, the season is till almost three more weeks (May 2) so I am not giving up. I plan to hunt everyday except the weekend morning and afternoon. Someone give me some expert advise. Thanks for the help.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:32 PM GMT on September 04, 2009
It's time to take a bit of a break from coverage of the Atlantic hurricane season of 2009, and report on some important climate news. The past decade was the warmest decade in the Arctic for the past 2,000 years, according to a study called "Recent Warming Reverses Long-Term Arctic Cooling" published today in the journal Science. Furthermore, four of the five warmest decades in the past 2,000 years occurred between 1950 - 2000, despite the fact that summertime solar radiation in the Arctic has been steadily declining for the past 2,000 years. Previous efforts to reconstruct past climate in the Arctic extended back only 400 years, so the new study--which used lake sediments, glacier ice cores, and tree rings to look at past climate back to the time of Christ, decade by decade-- is a major new milestone in our understanding of the Arctic climate. The researchers found that Arctic temperatures steadily declined between 1 A.D. and 1900 A.D., as would be expected due to a 26,000-year cycle in Earth's orbit that brought less summer sunshine to the North Pole. Earth is now about 620,000 miles (1 million km) farther from the Sun in the Arctic summer than it was 2000 years ago. However, temperatures in the Arctic began to rise around the year 1900, and are now 1.4°C (2.5°F) warmer than they should be, based on the amount of sunlight that is currently falling in the Arctic in summer. "If it hadn't been for the increase in human-produced greenhouse gases, summer temperatures in the Arctic should have cooled gradually over the last century," Bette Otto-Bliesner, a co-author from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said in a statement.
The Arctic melt season of 2009
Arctic sea ice suffered another summer of significant melting in 2009, with August ice extent the third lowest on record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. August ice extent was 19% below the 1979 - 2000 average, and only 2007 and 2008 saw more melting of Arctic sea ice. We've now had two straight years in the Arctic without a new record minimum in sea ice. However, this does not mean that the Arctic sea ice is recovering. The reduced melting in 2009 compared to 2007 and 2008 primarily resulted from a different atmospheric circulation pattern this summer. This pattern generated winds that transported ice toward the Siberian coast and discouraged export of ice out of the Arctic Ocean. The previous two summers, the prevailing wind pattern acted to transport more ice out of the Arctic through Fram Strait, along the east side of Greenland. At last December's meeting of the American Geophysical Union, the world's largest scientific conference on climate change, J.E. Kay of the National Center for Atmospheric Research showed that Arctic surface pressure in the summer of 2007 was the fourth highest since 1948, and cloud cover at Barrow, Alaska was the sixth lowest. This suggests that once every 10 - 20 years a "perfect storm" of weather conditions highly favorable for ice loss invades the Arctic. The last two times such conditions existed was 1977 and 1987, and it may be another ten or so years before weather conditions align properly to set a new record minimum.
The Northeast Passage opens
As a result of this summer's melting, the Northeast Passage, a notoriously ice-choked sea route along the northern Russia, is now clear of ice and open for navigation. Satellite analyses by the University of Illinois Polar Research Group and the National Snow and Ice Data Center show that the last remaining ice blockage along the north coast of Russia melted in late August, allowing navigation from Europe to Alaska in ice-free waters. Mariners have been attempting to sail the Northeast Passage since 1553, and it wasn't until the record-breaking Arctic sea-ice melt year of 2005 that the Northeast Passage opened for ice-free navigation for the first time in recorded history. The fabled Northwest Passage through the Arctic waters of Canada has remained closed this summer, however. An atmospheric pressure pattern set up in late July that created winds that pushed old, thick ice into several of the channels of the Northwest Passage. Recent research by Stephen Howell at the University of Waterloo in Canada shows that whether the Northwest Passage clears depends less on how much melt occurs, and more on whether multi-year sea ice is pushed into the channels. Counter-intuitively, as the ice cover thins, ice may flow more easily into the channels, preventing the Northwest Passage from regularly opening in coming decades, if the prevailing winds set up to blow ice into the channels of the Passage. The Northwest Passage opened for the first time in recorded history in 2007, and again in 2008. Mariners have been attempting to find a route through the Northwest Passage since 1497.
Figure 1. Sea ice extent on September 2, 2009, with the Northwest Passage (red line) and Northeast Passage (green line) shown. The Northeast Passage was open, but the Northwest Passage was blocked in three places. The orange line shows the median edge of sea ice extent for September 2 during the period 1979 - 2000, and this year's ice extent is about 19% below average. Image credit: National Snow and Ice Data Center.
Commercial shipping begins in the Northeast Passage
This year's opening marks the fourth time in five years that the Northeast Passage has opened, and commercial shipping companies are taking note. Two German ships set off on August 21 on the first commercial voyage ever made through the Northeast Passage without the help of icebreakers. The Northeast Passage trims 4,500 miles off the 12,500 mile trip through the Suez Canal, yielding considerable savings in fuel. The voyage was not possible last year, because Russia had not yet worked out a permitting process. With Arctic sea ice expected to continue to decline in the coming decades, shipping traffic through the Northeast Passage will likely become commonplace most summers.
When was the Northeast Passage ice-free in the past?
People have been attempting to penetrate the ice-bound Northeast Passage since 1553, when British explorer Sir Hugh Willoughby attempted the passage with three ships and 62 men. The frozen bodies of Sir Hugh and his men were found a year later, after they failed to make it past the northern coast of Finland. British explorer Henry Hudson, who died in 1611 trying to find a route through Canada's fabled Northwest Passage, (and whom Canada's Hudson Bay and New York's Hudson River are named after), attempted to sail the Northeast Passage in 1607 and 1608, and failed. The Northeast Passage has remained closed to navigation, except via assist by icebreakers, from 1553 to 2005. The results published in Science today suggest that prior to 2005, the last previous opening was the period 5,000 - 7,000 years ago, when the Earth's orbital variations brought more sunlight to the Arctic in summer than at present. It is possible we'll know better soon. A new technique that examines organic compounds left behind in Arctic sediments by diatoms that live in sea ice give hope that a detailed record of sea ice extent extending back to the end of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago may be possible (Belt et al., 2007). The researchers are studying sediments along the Northwest Passage in hopes of being able to determine when the Passage was last open.

Tropical Weather Outlook
The remains of Tropical Storm Erika are bringing heavy rain to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands today, and this activity will spread to the Dominican Republic on Saturday. Radar-estimated rainfall shows up to three inches of rain has fallen in eastern Puerto Rico from the storm. Long range radar out of Puerto Rico shows no surface circulation or organization of the echoes, and redevelopment of Erika over the next three days is unlikely to occur due to high wind shear of 25 - 30 knots. By Monday or Tuesday, shear may drop enough to allow redevelopment, depending upon the location of Erika's remains. Redevelopment is more likely if Erika works its way northwestward into the Bahamas.
A large tropical wave with plenty of spin is located a few hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verdes Islands, off the coast of Africa. Heavy thunderstorm activity has increased slightly in this wave over the past day, and it has the potential to gradually develop into a tropical depression by early next week. NHC is giving this wave a low (less than 30% chance) of developing into a tropical depression by Sunday. The GFS model continues to predict development of this wave into a tropical depression early next week.
I'll have an update Saturday or Sunday, depending upon developments in the tropics.

'Apprentice' casting call draws hundreds at UTSA
By Alison Beshur
Public Affairs Specialist
(March 20, 2006)-Mostly decked out in pressed suits, heels and shiny shoes, and finely manicured hairdos, approximately 250 hopeful Donald Trump executives lined up early Friday for the sixth-season casting call of "The Apprentice" in the University Center at the UTSA 1604 Campus.
Jimmy Moore, a 27-year-old residence life coordinator for Century Campus Housing in Chisolm Hall at UTSA's 1604 Campus, answered his reasons for waiting several hours in line with a simple question, "Why not?"
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"I try to take advantage of every opportunity," said Moore, who wore a pin-striped black-and-white suit with a blue shirt and yellow tie. "I don't want to look back and regret anything."
After receiving brightly colored wristbands, candidates filed into a conference room in groups of eight. One by one, applicants uniformly introduced themselves and took turns arguing a point of view to a current controversy, such as removing "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag or feelings of fairness about nepotism in the workplace.
Casting directors said those selected for a second interview would hear from them within two days of Friday's initial casting call.
As he stood in line before reaching the group interview stage, Kareem El Dahab, a 23-year-old UTSA student, lifted his pants' leg to show off his lucky UTSA socks.
El Dahab said he already had overcome the toughest part - forgoing sleep for a chance at stardom.
When asked about his strategy for winning over the casting judges, El Dahab noted his lucky socks, favorite jeans, black wool coat and matching wool cap, and of course, his trump card, "I plan to wow them with my endearing personality."

Shares of advertising network ValueClick (VCLK) are down $4.84, or 15%, at $26.90, after the company this afternoon reported Q1 revenue that missed expectations, beat on the bottom line, and projected this quarter's results below consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 13%, year over year, to $165.4 million, yielding EPS of 42 cents a share, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $166.7 million and 39 cents a share.
For the current quarter, the company projected revenue in a range of $164 million to $168 million, and EPS in a range of 38 cents to 40 cents. That is below the consensus estimate of $175 million and 41 cents.
CEO John Giuliani called 2013 a "transformation year," and remarked that "short-term disruptions will occur as we integrate multiple offerings and geographies."
"We are confident that our strategic initiatives will best serve the long-term interests of our advertisers and shareholders."
ValueClick to some extent competes with various search and display advertising titans, such as Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO), and with some ad networks such as that of AOL (AOL), although Giuliani in his prepared remarks noted that Google has made the decision to "exit this market," which he called a "seismic shift" in the industry that ValueClick is focusing its efforts to exploit.

What's Ian doing this winter break?
My last final is tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m., and I'll be damned if I don't find a way to procrastinate. This is my way of procrastinating.
Apart from my day-to-day stuff at Red Hat (making sure servers don't catch fire, cleaning out spam traps, the like), I'm going to be working on a couple of projects over winter break.
FUDCon Blacksburg Booklet
Here's the booklet pages from Tempe last year. We're doing the same thing this year. It's pretty much that simple.
What needs to be done:
- Map needs rendered. I'm going to try to use mapnik instead of osmarender this year because mapnik looks a gazillion times better.
- Recreate the schedule pages, possibly expanding the section to three pages (and moving the map into 1 page since we just don't have that many things to label).
- Find a bunch of local vendors close to campus, their contact information and when they're open.
- Figure out deets on a hack room and some other details that should go in the booklet.
The more things above that get done by volunteers, the less I have to do, and the more likely this booklet will be awesome. So please help if you're bored! :)
I have a new pet project, and hopefully something will come out of it this time.
There are a lot of freely-usable fonts in Fedora that you can install with yum/PackageKit. But the problem is, it's very difficult to figure out what the fonts look like without installing them all and trying them out. You can't easily tell what fonts have serifs, have support for the language you're trying to write in, or actually looks good.
fonts.fedoraproject.org is a proposed website that does the following:
- Searches the yum repositories for a list of packages that provide
- From that list, determine which packages have TTF or OTF files.
- For each package, if the package is not cached, download the package and extract the fonts.
- Write web frontend to put it all together, using
@font-facetechnologies. The frontend would be static HTML that is rendered once nightly if there are updates.
I've discussed the idea above with a few folks in Infrastructure and it seems to have fallen on good ears, so I'll be continuing on with this project when I've got some spare time over winter break. If you've got questions or just want to discuss fonts.fp.o, shoot me a message on IRC, since I'd love to get new ideas or figure things out that I haven't quite figured out yet :)

Gates of the Arctic
National Park and Preserve
This is one of the finest remaining wildernesses in the world. The park and preserve extends nearly 320 kilometers (200 miles) from east to west, including some 5.7 million hectares (8.1 million acres) in the central Brooks Range in north central Alaska. The entire park and preserve area lies north of the Arctic Circle and is about 320 kilometers (200 miles) northwest of Fairbanks. It extends from the southern foothills of the Brooks Range across the range's ragged peaks and down onto the North Slope. Magnificent valleys dissect the range here, many containing clearwater rivers and alpine lakes. A few alpine glaciers occupy the north sides of higher mountains. Most of the park and preserve area, lying north of the limit of trees, is vegetated with shrubs and tundra.
Alaska's Ultimate Wilderness
Few landmarks are named on topographic maps here. The dramatic title for the park comes from wilderness advocate Robert Marshall, a frequent traveler in the North Fork Koyukuk drainage from 1929 to 1939. Marshall described two peaks, Frigid Crags and Boreal Mountain, as "the gates" from Alaska's central Brooks Range into the arctic regions of the far north. The natural forces of water, temperature, and glacial and tectonic action have sculpted a wildly varied landscape in this northernmost and east-west trending portion of the Rocky Mountains. Southerly foothills step into waves of mountains rising to elevations of 4,000 feet. These in turn may climax in limestone or granitic peaks over 7,000 feet.
At the Arctic Divide the ranks reverse as the tundra stretches to the Arctic Ocean. Six national wild rivers
- the Alatna,
- John,
- Kobuk,
- Noatak,
- North Fork Koyukuk, and
- the Tinayguk
The scene is one of remote wilderness and unpeopled distances, qualities many people seek when they decide to visit Gates of the Arctic. No trails or visitor service developments exist within the park. All visitors must be self-sufficient. One Nunamiut Eskimo village, Anaktuvuk Pass, lies within the park's boundaries. In the past, nomadic hunters/gatherers traveled from the forested southern slopes of the mountains to the Arctic Coast. Present-day travelers will see few signs of earlier inhabitants. Perpetuation of wilderness qualities is a primary goal of the park's management.
Seasons are dramatic in length and levels of activity: during the short summer, plants and animals must progress rapidly through growth and reproduction cycles before the onset of winter cold. Most activity ceases with the-20°F to-50°F temperatures that persist from November to March. In the pink, low light of the arctic winter, blue-gray shadows of opposing slopes delineate the endless white mountains. The dry climate of the interior produces little snow, but what falls endures and covers the land and rivers wrapped in ice and silence. As the low-riding sun begins its warming ascent into April's spring sky, dog sled enthusiasts occasionally may be seen in the park. Other visitors begin arriving in mid-June, although many rivers are of yet entirely free of ice. Backpacking and river trips are the predominant activities.
The park, created to ensure the integrity of the arctic environment, contains major portions of the range and habitat of the western arctic caribou herd. Grizzly and black bear, wolf, moose, Dall sheep, wolverine, and fox are also found in the park. At spring breakup, the few resident bird species are joined by migratory species from Europe, South America, Asia, tropical archipelagos, and the continental United States. Despite the variety, wildlife is widely dispersed because large areas are required to sustain life in the Arctic. Wildlife sightings may be greatly affected by the size of your party, your patterns of travel, and the weather.
Sparse black-spruce forests called taiga-from the Russian for "land of little sticks"-dot north-facing slopes and poorly drained lowlands. Boreal forests of white spruce, aspen, and birch are typically found on south-facing slopes. Near tree line, the shrub-thicket community of dwarf and resin birch, alder, and willow appears. Heath, moss, and fragile lichen make up the understory. Alpine tundra communities occur in mountainous areas and along well-drained rocky ridges. Alder thickets and tussocks often impede hiking in the Arctic. Backpackers will find both types of vegetation in valleys and on slopes; it is not unusual for backpackers to progress only 5 miles per day. Take your time: do not try to squeeze a 21-day arctic trip into a 14-day "Lower 48" trip.
The 1980 legislation which created Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve called for protection of 8.4 million acres of land. Included were mandates for insuring that the area be managed to maintain the land's wild and undeveloped character. Far-sighted provisions also included opportunities to experience solitude, to insure the environmental integrity of natural features, and to provide opportunities for wilderness recreational activities. Fish and wildlife and their habitat, cultural resources, and traditional subsistence uses were also slated for protection. With adjacent Noatak National Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Park, Gates of the Arctic comprises one of the world's largest parkland areas.

Ah, the joys of turning into Big Brother.
We put a 3c905B-FX card into our Netsaint server the other day and connected it up to the building gateway today. The idea was to "mirror" incoming/outgoing traffic onto that interface, and log packets.
It's getting us in trouble already.
Ordered a cell phone on Sunday, should show up in the next few days.
Moving in a week.. Did some packing/cleaning already. Bare walls in the apartment make me feel pretty sad actually.. :-(

Further UEFI bootloader work
I've been continuing to work on Shim this week, and it's now getting pretty close to feature complete. The biggest change has been migrating the MokList variable from a custom format to the one used by the UEFI spec databases, which means it's easier for the kernel to import the MOK entries and use them for validating module signatures.
The other benefit of this format is that it supports hashes as well as certificates, and so I've added support for enrolling hashes through the MokManager UI. This means that distributions can now ship with a signed copy of Shim without having to sign any other components of their distribution. When the user attempts to boot off the media they'll be faced with a menu and a countdown. If the countdown reaches 0, the system will simply fall back to the next entry in the bootlist. If they hit a key, they can choose to enrol a hash. The user then navigates the filesystem explorer, chooses the bootloader, confirms that they want to enrol it and then exits. Shim then verifies the bootloader against the hash and boots successfully.
The big advantage of this over the Linux Foundation approach is that once a hash has been enrolled the need for physical end-user presence is removed - ie, if you enrol the hash, you don't need to hit a key every time you boot. This is still slightly sub-optimal in that if you update your bootloader you'll need to enrol a new hash, but that can be partially automated by calling MokUtil in the postinst - the user then simply needs to confirm that they want to enrol the hash, rather than having to choose it manually. Completely transparent updates are going to require a signed bootloader and an enrolled signing key.
A couple of people have asked whether we're planning on implementing the Linux Foundation approach of simply asking the user whether they want to boot an unsigned file. We've considered it, but at the moment are leaning towards "no" - it's simply too easy to use to trick naive users into running untrusted code. Users are trained to click through pretty much any security prompt that they see, and if an attacker replaces a legitimate bootloader with one that asks them to press "y" to make their computer work, they'll press "y". If that bootloader then launches a trojaned Windows bootloader that launches a trojaned Windows kernel, that's kind of a problem. This could be somewhat mitigated by limiting this feature to removable media, and we're seriously considering that, but there are still some risks associated. We might just end up writing the code but disabling it at build time, and then anyone who wants to distribute with that policy can do so at their own risk.
Meanwhile, Peter Jones is working on tidying up the code we're using for the actual signing and will be publishing that once the last couple of kinks are worked out. We're using hardware cryptography, so even if someone compromises the build systems they won't be able to obtain the private key that we use. However, should something disastrous and unanticipated happen, we do have a plan in place for migrating to new keys with minimal user impact. We'll document the code and infrastructure we're using in order to make it as easy as possible for other distributions to implement equivalent functionality.
As I've mentioned before, our goal is to make it as easy as possible for distributions to implement whatever level of Secure Boot policy they want without having to engage with Microsoft themselves. Shim allows distributions to ship an OS that has no signed binaries at all, or alternatively to ship an OS that uses filesystem-level cryptography to ensure that even userspace is completely signed. I'm expecting to see a range of options available, and I hope that the majority of users will find something to suit their needs.

I attended JavaTwo, the Java Developer Conference by Sun Microsystems Taiwan in Aug 17 and 18. I met two Sun guys, Matt Thompson and Rima Patel, whose talks were very impressive. Also, I participated in various sesssions, including Design Patterns in Java Library (speaker: jjhou), J2EE Anti-Patterns, New Advances of XML and Web Services 2005, and BeanShell interpreter.
In the meanwhile, In JavaTwo, I presented Free Java Runtimes dedicated to overview of recent great works around Free Java Hackers, and the slides are available here (PDF document). Of course, my slides are written in Traditional Chinese, so that only some developers could understand, but I wish that's still useful.
I am glad to see that some developers took their interest to attend my session, and gave me some feedback. They thought my demo for recent KMM (Kaffe Multimedia Project) and KOE (Kaffe-based Operating Environment) were cool enough as an exciting impression how Free Java Runtimes could be. :-)
However, I am still hacking Kaffe VM for better integration between lightweight AWT implementations and MHP software stack, and I do hope to release some snapshots this year.

11:30 27th February 2014
Jackett's faith in evolving squad
Kenny Jackett believes the major transformation of the Wolves playing squad has helped recharge the Molineux batteries and freshen up the motivation levels of his revamped team.
Of the team which started the final game of last season against Brighton, only two players – Nouha Dicko, then on loan, and Bakary Sako – started Wolves' last fixture, with the rest made up of Jackett signings or young players now given their first sustained run.
There is still much work to be done if Wolves are to achieve their aim of promotion, but to have changed the squad so dramatically, and be right in the thick of the race for the Championship, augurs well for the challenges ahead.
"I think as a coach or a manager, you're judged on your signings," said the Head Coach.
"That's been consistent down the years – you do want to get them right.
"But it's also important for them to integrate with the other players at the club, whether they be young guys coming through and there have been plenty of those showing daylight in terms of league appearances and also someone like Richard Stearman and Leigh Griffiths, who had both been out on loan last season, or Danny Batth, who hadn't had much game-time.
"So the side has changed and the nature of it has too, but I would suggest it will continue to change because most clubs do - it evolves.
"A side can't stand still and I think a big part of a successful team is hunger. And to keep that hunger you need fresh, new players.
"If you're at a big club like this, one of the advantages is you should have like for like just outside of the team to create the competition that's healthy for success.
"We'd always like to improve but you constantly look to try to get competition and make sure people are freshly motivated.
"And also for the people on the fringes and out of the side it's important for them to know exactly what's required of them should they step in
"You're looking to try to bring new players in – every coach or manager would and want to put his own stamp on it slightly.
"And particularly here, because Wolves had had quite a period of success before the recent troubles, so perhaps there were a number of people who had been here too long, which I've said before. It was right for those individuals to move on, which does happen."
Jackett believes the turnaround in personnel was needed after successive relegations, and also quickly to arrest what had been a fall from grace since the club was in the Premier League.
It is with those changes that Wolves have managed to be competitive at the top of the table so far this season.
"There's been a big turnaround but I've seen these big clubs hang around this division for two or three years," he added.
"The problems behind that are usually internal – they're waiting for contracts to run out.
"The people who come in have a higher motivation level and who maybe haven't got a big name and they want to make their name and because of the platform they're given by a big club, and the club comes good again.
"We've wanted to, and needed to, accelerate that process to be competitive straight away."

Exhibition marks centennial of Northwest Passage, April 4-Sept. 26
Posted March 25, 2004; 04:55 p.m.
An exhibition documenting the centennial of transit through the Northwest Passage will be on display April 4 through Sept. 26 in Firestone Library's Milberg Gallery.
For 400 years, beginning in the 1500s, explorers sought a navigable channel through the Canadian Arctic in search of a shorter route to the Orient. However, the full transit was not completed until Norwegian adventurer Roald Amundsen's journey from 1903 to 1906.
"Of Maps and Men: In Pursuit of a Northwest Passage" will include early expedition journals of the British explorers Sir John Ross, Sir William Edward Parry and Sir John Franklin, who discovered and named most of the geographic elements of the Canadian Arctic, as well as enlarged copies of photographs taken during a summer 2003 transit aboard a Russian icebreaker which document the 3,000-mile passageway as it appears today. It also features historical maps, including the "first Arctic map" (1595) by Gerhard Mercator, and rare books in the field of discovery.
Tours of the exhibition by John Delaney, exhibition curator and curator of historic maps in the library, will be at 10 a.m. Friday, May 28, and at 3 p.m. Sundays, May 2, July 11 and Sept. 12. For hours and more information, visit the library Web site .

Henicorhina leucoptera
Bar-winged Wood-Wren
- Order: Passeriformes
- Family: Troglodytidae
- Monotypic
Abra Patricia, Peru; 11 September 2011 © Fabrice Schmitt
Rare and sparsely distributed on scattered mountains in northern Peru and in adjacent souther Ecuador, the Bar-winged Wood-Wren is rather distinctive (and well-named), as it is the only wood-wren that displays wing bars. At such famed locations in recent ornithological exploration as Cordillera del Cóndor and Abra Patricia, the species is found between 1350 and 2450 meters in elevation in the undergrowth of dense cloud forest. Stub-tailed and small, Bar-winged Wood-wren is rufous above and gray below with rufous flanks, two white wingbars contrasting with otherwise black wing coverts, and a brown- and white-striped head with obvious white superciliary. Due to its disjunct range, small population, and sensitive habitat, the species is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List.

BlackBerry is, and will probably continue to be, a polarizing name in the mobile industry. After a long run as the darling of the business world, BlackBerry became everyone's favorite punching bag in 2012. Once a status symbol, owning a BlackBerry device like the Bold or Curve is now a source of embarrassment. Those QWERTY devices were stunners though, compared to the so-bad-it-was-offensive BlackBerry Storm or the garish Torch – Frankenstein's monster of smartphones. But 2013 brings with it a new start for BlackBerry with brand new hardware and a reconstructed operating system, both with a renewed focus on attractive and functional design.
The Hardware
Early reviews have pegged it as bland or boring, but the critics are wrong. The Z10 is a knockout. It looks like it's been pulled straight out of a science fiction flick. The edge-to-edge screen makes it look positively futuristic while its top competition, the iPhone 5, looks like a half-hearted update to a three-year-old design.
Let's get down to specifics. BlackBerry has learned from its mistakes. The company has discarded its past love of chrome accents and leather and stripped the Z10 of excess details. By minimalizing the casing, and making it only visible on the top and bottom of the display, it makes the screen even more of a focus as the center of the device. The Z10 is all about the display and BlackBerry captured this truth very well, putting the emphasis where it belongs.
The design is understated, yes, and that's probably why so many people may find it boring. But it isn't dull; it is practical, utilitarian, and quite comfortable. There are no bells and whistles, no blinking lights, and no capacitive buttons ever-present at the bottom. The casing reaches down from the top and up from the bottom only to hold the screen together. The back is unadorned, only broken by the iconic BlackBerry logo. It is what a smartphone should look like, no useless embellishments for the sake of "design," but instead a device meant to handle your virtual life.
This approach to design is refreshing. To compare it to bigger players out there, Nokia's Lumia 920 puts huge emphasis on hardware flourishes that can be distracting. The 920 is bulky and features a heavily promoted camera. It is difficult to interact with the device without being distracted by its physical features. It is the same with cheaper-feeling devices like the Galaxy S3 with its plastic body detracting from the software experience, a glossy exterior that shines with greasy fingerprints.
We refuse to praise the Q10 with attached keyboard because it is more of the same from the company and feels like a compulsory device rather than an exciting one. We will say that the Q10 is a welcome update to the once-great BlackBerry Bold, but it's no more than a slicker version of what has come before. Just download SwiftKey and be done with it already.
The Software
Never in a million billion years would we have expected to be impressed with BlackBerry 10 enough to mention it in an article applauding design. But the Canadian smartphone-maker has done something new here, pushing the reliance on touch gestures for navigation to a whole new level while challenging some conventions in the industry.
For starters, the homescreen for BB10 is a 4×4 grid of your recent apps, breaking from the tradition of first showing users a list of installed apps. Touch an app to open it up and swipe up from the bottom to return home – there is no main button to do that for you. And there doesn't need to be. From the recent apps, you can swipe from the left or right to access different functions. Swipe to the right and you'll see the expected, seemingly unavoidable, app grid with all of the apps you've downloaded from BlackBerry World, which already has 70,000 apps on it. Swipe to the left and you'll find the Hub, BlackBerry's answer to the notification center, and it does the job well. The Hub keeps a time-sensitive list of actions you've performed, pulling in BBM, text messaging, email, Twitter, etc., to catch you up. A context menu, usually depicting quick settings, can be pulled down from the top of the screen. There is also an interesting, though gimmicky, feature called Peek that literally lets you glance at what you were doing previously.
The touch-centric user interface is how we've always wanted smartphones to work. Using capacitive buttons is cheap, buying into archaic remnants of a time when fingers and screens hadn't met yet. Reaching the homescreen by flicking upwards is a succinct gesture that also reflects a real world action like you are tossing the app off the screen or pushing it off your virtual desk. The remaining gestures are equally simple, reminiscent of Windows 8, with swipes from each edge of the screen doing something specific. Questions of stability and speed aside, BB 10 has implemented compelling work here.
Of course, we still haven't done a full review – but that doesn't change the solid ideas being presented. Whether or not BB10 succeeds in revamping the dying brand, we can't say BlackBerry didn't give it 100 percent. The BlackBerry Z10 is gorgeous and a bold (not "Bold") step forward for the company now known simply as BlackBerry.
