I'll take care of this......
Let me just get the prerequisite "What?!", "Are you fukcing kidding me?", and "You fukcing suck." out of the way now, so I can just write "ref. post 45" later during the game.
Allright 60 seconds to game time. Every Jet fan should run to the bathroom and per or poop or vomit or something. Just expell some form of evil out of your body (or semen) and label it weeks 1-14. Start fresh with 3 weeks to go.
Don't worry guys, I'm here!
I am so phucking "meh" about this game.
Wide. Open.
Ref. post 45
Jets defense looks great
Game over
Wow! Jets are fired up to play tonight!!

We have 5 balls of identical shape and volume, but with different weights, 10, 20, 30 40 and 50 grams.
How can we determine the weight of each ball by only 5 weighings? We must use a balance scale!

hi anna_gg
Welcome to the forum.
Five balls and five weighings. Hhmmmmmm. That doesn't sound difficult.
Just weigh each one independently. Is there some other restiction?

I have gone through a similar problem "Again the puzzle of balls and scales", which is listed here under the same category, but can't follow the same analysis for the 5x5 problem...
I started by weighing 2 vs 2, but we have 15 different possibilities:
1st plate 2nd plate
10+20=30, 30+40=70
10+20=30, 30+50=80
10+20=30, 40+50=90
10+30=40, 20+40=60
10+30=40, 20+50=70
10+30=40, 40+50=90
10+40=50, 20+30=50
10+40=50, 20+50=70
10+40=50, 30+50=80
20+30=50, 10+50=60
20+30=50, 40+50=90
10+50=60, 20+40=60
10+50=60, 30+40=70
20+40=60, 30+50=80
30+40=70, 20+50=70
In cases 7, 12 and 15 the scale balances,
but then what?
Hi anna_gg;
You are correct about the 15 possibilities but on another forum that I am a member of there seems to be a solution. Unfortunately, I do not understand it. But at least it is possible.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

One of the nifty things you can do in Watch Dogs is set up a multiplayer match between someone playing the main game on the console, and someone using the game's companion app on a phone or tablet. Even more impressive: you don't even need to be on the same network for the functionality to work. In fact, you can compete over a 3G connection on the go.
At PAX Prime, Ubisoft showed off how the multiplayer battles work. On the tablet, you can issue challenges to players playing at home. If they accept, they will have to pass through four checkpoints within a time limit.
Tablet players will have full access to the ctOS that controls the city's grid. So, like Aiden, you'll be able to switch traffic lights, trigger traffic blockers, and blow steam pipes--all which can impede progress quite significantly. You'll even be able to drag a helicopter on the screen. Keeping the spotlight on top of the player will send the police chasing.
At first glance, it does seem as though the tablet player may have the advantage. However, smart console players will probably eventually figure out effective countermeasures. One rather neat thing about the companion app is that not only is it free, but it doesn't require owning the game to use. So long as you have a friend playing the game, you'll be able to challenge them--even if you don't have the game.

In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, corporations seek to accelerate the natural evolution of the species with mechanical augmentations to help propel humanity into a new era.
When mortal wounds force augments on him, the game's central character, Adam Jensen, gets caught in the middle of a class warfare between natural and augmented humans, as well as the greed of corporations. Though he awakens more powerful than he has ever been, in the face of a greater conspiracy he is little more than a pawn.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a game based on choices, but unlike other games that offer this option, the impact of each decision generally focuses on the immediate situation rather than the bigger picture. It becomes abundantly clear early on that Adam Jensen is only a pawn in a greater conspiracy. The choices made throughout the experience strive to help push Jensen closer to the truth.
The world in Human Revolution is in turmoil, with augmentations at the center of a debate on the nature of transhumanism and radical extremism. The decisions you make do not change this world issue, nor are objectives you face meant to impact this debate. Jensen's drive is personal. He is dedicated to learning the truth behind the attack that forced his augmentation and the loss of a loved one. It's a detailed and enthralling tale.
One of my favorite elements of the game was the social interaction battles with characters. I was given the chance to convince others to provide me with information or abandon their current objectives. While these interactions were great, they didn't present much of a challenge versus the silver-tongued Adam Jensen.
Conversations do give players a chance to be brash or compassionate, but these decisions are only linked to how much information you can extract. Though there is a thread of morality throughout the experience, the game doesn't track decisions with this in mind. How you gain the information isn't important, completing your objective is the essential piece.
Some of the voice acting for these dialogues is outstanding. The odd exception is the game's main character. Jensen himself sounds as though he is perpetually seeking a lozenge. There's a lack of emotion from him that stands out more and more as the game progresses.
Choice extends to customization as well, where players can focus their attention on unlocking a variety of augmentations. What is disappointing is that, by the end of the game, there may not be a lot of variation between my Adam Jensen and yours. Combat itself is a blend of first-person advancement and third-person tactics, and planning is necessary. Though Jensen is augmented, he is still human, and I never found rushing into a situation would benefit my objectives.
There are a number of boss battles in Human Revolution, and frankly I didn't enjoy any of them. There's very little in the way of tactics involved during these encounters as the enemies rush toward you. These battles are completely devoid of choice, only ending with each boss in a pool of his or her own blood regardless of your play style. It's so disjointed that it feels like each encounter was designed by a completely different team.
The game's AI stands out as another weak point throughout the game. Enemies typically investigate for a few moments before returning to a pre-planned route. In one situation I was told I'd have to wait for a "slow elevator" to make its way down to me and a squad of enemies would attack from both entry points as soon as I called the lift. In preparation, I stacked boxes and a disabled turret in front of both doors, sending the AI into a frenzy as it couldn't understand why it was unable to make its way to me.
BOOM video 10198
Adam Jensen's journey and the global conflict of the human augmentation debate meet in the end, giving the player one last decision to make. Rather than constantly juggle the fate of humanity as in other games, the single, massive decision offered in Human Revolution has more weight added to it. I spent so much time worrying about Jensen and his issues, that when everything collided and I had to decide what happened next, it gave me a moment of pause.
A lot of expectations have been thrown at first-time developer Eidos Montreal. The studio set out to design a game worthy of the Deus Ex moniker and, in my eyes, succeeded. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an exceptional title that you should choose to explore.
[This Deus Ex: Human Revolution review is based on a final PC version, provided by publisher Square Enix. The PC version of the game is developed by Nixxes. Specs for the PC used can be found here.]

Thanks to the widespread and generous support of people in our community WEMF has been successful since its inaugural year, June 2004. A different country or cultural focus is featured each year. Past festivals were:
- 2004 "Music of England"
- 2005 "Spain and the New World"
- 2006 "Musica Antica d'Italia," – Music of Italy
- 2008 "From Hildegard to Bach" – Early Music Masterpieces from Germany
- 2010 "La Musique Magnifique" – Early Music Masterpieces from France
In 2006, we decided to move to an every other year format, to alternate years with the Boston Early Music Festival, and provide more time for development and planning.
In 2007, we initiated a special weekend of events in response to the public demand for "a taste of early music" on the "off" year. We continued this in 2009 with a Gala Concert featuring eight performing groups in one concert evening.
Our programs seek to be diverse and inclusive of many aspects of musically-centered culture. We include lectures, special art tours based on the Festival's theme, post-concert receptions to encourage discussion between audience and performers, demonstrations of period instruments, and workshops that have focused on – dance, medieval and renaissance; instrumental, baroque and medieval; vocal, renaissance/baroque choral, medieval chant. …"

"Medieval music, Renaissance and Baroque, known as early music, has acquired in recent decades increasingly important. Today the practice of early music is based on specialized interpreters in musicological research on the technical implementation and interpretation of ancient instruments and singing in the reconstruction of musical instruments from specimens preserved in museums and implementation of transcripts, respectful of the canons of writing of the time. Our country has not been indifferent to the interest in this music, demonstrated in large musical centers of the world, and for several years there are groups devoted to this repertory. The Early Music Festival offers the opportunity to discover the wide and varied repertoire of these centuries, but with instruments constructed according to ancient models. In this way we approach a sound unknown in the country.
This festival began in 2006 as an idea of the composer Otto Castro. Originally took place every two years, but due to the enthusiasm of the crowd then decided to hold annual events that take place in the first half of each year.

Vikings attack draws Eagles season to close
FORT WAYNE — The postseason left a tall order for Columbia City boys' soccer to take on Thursday night.
With regular season losses to two of the three teams joining them in the Homestead sectional, the Eagles faced one of those teams in Huntington North.
A relentless series of attacks by both teams took Columbia City into the second half with a one-goal deficit.
The Vikings used two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half to pull away. Huntington North brought Columbia City's season to a close on a 4-2 victory that puts them in the championship game against Homestead Saturday night.
"We played hard," Columbia City head coach Chris Bechtold said. "We weren't happy that it was 0-1 at halftime but we were right there in it."
Back in early September, the Eagles played host to the Vikings falling in a 4-1 game.
A fundamental Huntington North team showed up again Thursday with control of the ball.
After Columbia City got a few early shots in on Huntington goalie Kyle Williams, the Vikings began countless attacks on the City goal.
Junior goalkeeper Nick Hatfield managed to keep Huntington scoreless through the first 20 minutes of the half with diving saves and a point blank block of a high shot on goal from Isaac Wust with 23 minutes left before halftime.
Wust broke through just a few minutes later at the 20:19 mark for the only goal of the first half.
Columbia City nearly replied less than a minute later when a shot from senior Austin Porter was blocked on a fingertip save by Williams.
Wust struck early in the second half for Huntington on back-to-back assists from Colin Downey.
Downey's two assists put Huntington up 3-0 with 26:24 remaining while Wust recorded a hat trick.
Columbia City got on the board at the 21:43 mark with junior Bradey Mullett putting in a pass from Porter.
The Vikings didn't take long to reply on a corner cross to Kyle Jolas for the header goal.
Porter added a late goal as the Eagles continued to fight. With 6:53 left, Porter took a pass from fellow senior Devin Rice to cut the lead down to two goals 4-2.
"I'm extremely proud of these boys," Bechtold noted. "Coming out and playing hard the entire game against a very good Huntington North team that was 10-5.
"I couldn't ask for anything else from our seniors. They came to practice every day and worked hard. They gave everything they had every game."
The career of six seniors ends along with the season (Grant Wood, Devin Rice, Matt Marty, Tyler Peterson, Austin Porter, Jordan Esterline.
Wood, Rice, Porter and Esterline were also selected to the 2010 class 3A East-West All-Stars.

DALLAS - Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings is set to give details on how the city plans to commemorate the 50th anniversary next year of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
A news conference is set for Tuesday afternoon. A committee of Dallas business and community leaders was formed to decide how to commemorate the assassination.
On Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy's motorcade was on a parade route through downtown Dallas when he was assassinated while passing the Texas School Book Depository. The Warren Commission that investigated the president's death concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, firing at Kennedy's motorcade from the sixth floor of the depository, acted alone.

BUCHANAN, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating a head-on collision between a pickup truck and a school bus in west Georgia that injured several school children and both drivers.
The Georgia State Patrol says the crash happened Thursday morning on Highway 120 in Haralson County between the cities of Buchanan and Tallapoosa. Troopers say the pickup truck crossed the center line and struck the bus head-on.
The State Patrol says the driver of the truck -- a 17-year-old girl -- was airlifted to an Atlanta hospital with serious injuries. The agency said the bus driver and approximately five children riding the bus were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
The highway was expected to remain closed for several hours Thursday as troopers investigated the crash.

The owner of a dilapidated factory has three months to show Thomasville City Council it is serious about repairing or demolishing the building.
The owner of a dilapidated factory has three months to show Thomasville City Council it is serious about repairing or demolishing the building.
Thomasville City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday night, ordering Fisher Ferry LLC to make repairs to former Thomasville Furniture Industries Plant B within 90 days. The ordinance also authorizes Thomasville building inspectors to repair, alter, improve, close or demolish the structure if need be.
City officials have pleaded with Fisher Ferry representatives, including Asheboro property owner Jeffrey Schwarz, for months, asking them to bring the 100-year-old structure up to code or demolish it altogether. However, little has come from those negotiations, and Fisher Ferry officials have claimed they have no money, creating a situation where Thomasville taxpayers may be left footing the more than $400,000 bill for demolition.
After conducting a hearing with two representatives from Fisher Ferry in October 2012, a Thomasville building inspector issued an order requiring the owner to remedy the conditions of Plant B within 60 days. That never happened.
During a public hearing held before the vote Tuesday, Frank Edmondson, a representative of Fisher Ferry, said the company still has an interest in the property.
"Schwarz' plans are not to let this building continue to crumble down to the ground," Edmondson said. "We're not going to let any asset of ours do that. On the flip side of that, the funding to bring this up to code isn't available now."
Edmondson said Schwarz, who he said has suffered a recent decline in health, is looking for sufficient time to take care of the property. Thomasville City Council said they've waited long enough.
"We want to work with you, and you've told us you want to work with us," said Thomasville City Councilman Neal Grimes. "We've had, for over two years now, promises, and promises and promises, and none of them we have been able to count on. It's kind of hard now, at the eleven-and-a-half hour, to throw all of this aside and trust you."
Other council members, including councilman Raleigh York, expressed interest in working with Schwarz if he's serious.
"We'd certainly like to see it remodeled and in shape, so it can be rented and the taxes paid on it and so forth," York said.
After being questioned by Thomasville City Attorney Paul Mitchell during the public hearing, Edmondson said the company does not have a solid timetable of when it can address the issues with Plant B.
"Unfortunately, we have to work on properties that currently have tenants," Edmondson said.
Any city costs for potential repairs or demolition would be placed as a lien against the property and any other properties owned by Fisher Ferry in Thomasville, according to the proposed ordinance.
If the city goes down that route, Edmondson said he would advise Schwarz to file for bankruptcy.
Several people spoke during the public hearing about Plant B Tuesday, including Thomasville resident Barney W. Hill.
"Cooperation is preferable to vituperation," Hill said to council members. "End your constant vilification of Jeff Schwarz.
"Even Mr. Mitchell has acknowledged Mr. Schwarz's genius at recycling. Mr. Schwarz is a man I would want to have on my side, if I were in your shoes. Mr. Schwarz is a man who might be on your side, had you not created such a toxic atmosphere."
Schwarz owned Plant B under a different group, Schwarz-Fields LLC, until August 2011, when the property was foreclosed upon and sold to Randolph Bank and Trust Co. Thomasville worked with the bank to bring the old plant up to code with little success until May 2012, when the bank conveyed the property's title back to Schwarz under Fisher Ferry, which he had created one month earlier, according to county and state records.
Schwarz owns thousands of properties throughout the Triad in different LLCs, including dozens in Davidson County.
"A lot of times he does get a bad rap for properties such as this," Edmondson said. "We realize it's not beautiful. When we compare it to other properties in your county and city, it's not going to come close to them."

Uh, you know, I see the current Seahawks D playing almost just like the Steelers have in the past and I don't hear them complaining about Goodell.
I am inclined to put alot of the blame on Goodell as well as I have seen what he has done to old school football. But just watch a seahawks highlight reel in the past year and you might change your mind.

Yesterday we celebrated the food-indulging holiday known as Thanksgiving. In the spirit of this tryptophan-filled day, I wanted to write a special Mixed Martial Arts Beat column in honor of you, the readers.
For the past two months — as I've been writing this column — I've received numerous questions regarding my stances, preferences and opinions on a variety of MMA topics. This week I address the four questions people frequently asked me. Get ready, some of these might just shock you.
If you had to compete against any one of the UFC champions, who would you choose?
This question has all the makings of a "pick your poison" cautionary response. When coming up with a solid answer — because I don't want to take a punch from any of the current UFC champions — I had to decide based on the "one and done" principle. With that said, I'd take a match against the GOAT (greatest of all time) middleweight champion Anderson Silva. One, he'd probably put me to sleep with one well-placed jab and two, I can say I stood in the Octagon with Anderson Silva. The defense rests.
What MMA event are you looking forward to the most within the next six months?
There are two events that I'm interested in watching. Locally, I'm stoked to attend the Peninsula Fighting Championship 3 on Dec. 29. This event has all the makings of an exciting and dynamic competition. I believe that event will be the PFC's best one to date. The other event I'm looking forward to is the UFC on Fox 5 card taking place on Dec. 8 in Seattle. Not only is this card stacked, but it's dynamic. Benson Henderson defends his belt against Nate Diaz, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua faces Alexander Gustafsson and BJ Penn squares off against fast-rising welterweight Rory MacDonald. Did I mention the event is free on Fox?!
What do you think he is the most frustrating aspect of MMA on the Peninsula?
A great question and one for which I have an immediate answer. The most frustrating aspect of MMA on the Kenai Peninsula is fighter withdrawal from events. This is a general concern and frustration within the local MMA community. For a local promotion — like the Peninsula Fighting Championship — a fighter withdrawing from an event can cause problems that extend beyond finding a suitable replacement. It prevents opposing competitors from gaining experience and can hinder the promotion from booking future matches and events.
What is your favorite MMA event?
I can think of countless UFC events that have been exciting to watch but I'd have to say my favorite event has to be the Peninsula Fighting Championship 2 back in March of this year. There are two reasons for this choice: One, it was — overall — an exciting event. Not one matchup went to the judges' scorecards and all ended with exciting finishes — including a championship bout that ended in spectacular fashion.
The second reason is selfish in nature. I was the ring announcer for that event and had the time of my life. Amid the cheering of the crowd and the excitement that each competitor brought to the arena, the fact that I happened to be in the middle of all that electricity made for an amazing night and event. My suggestion — make it a point to attend the next Peninsula Fighting Championship event on Dec. 29 at the Soldotna Sports Center. Then you'll understand what all the excitement is about.
If you want to ask me a question or answer one of the questions from above, you can do so by leaving comment or you can hit me up on Twitter. My Twitter handle is @scottlevesque. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I've been away from the forums for a long time because of work pressures and illness but I'm back for some advice.
I'm moving an existing Ubuntu Server 10.04.4 LTS amd64 server to new hardware. I have tried installing Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS onto the new hardware and started using rsync to copy over home directories, web server files and some configuration files. I used mysqldump via ssh to copy all of my databses over successfully, including all all of the MySQL users and permissions.
However, I'm having problems restarting the Apache web server with missing configuration files. I'm also not sure if I've got all of the required PHP5 configuration files. There seems to be some differences between the configuration of Apache on 12.04 and 10.04.
I'm starting to realise that moving the server onto a different server version may not be a good idea
So here's the big question, if I install Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS onto the new server and run:
- Code: Select all
#mysqlpdump --user=root --password="securePassword" --all-databases | ssh email@example.com 'mysql --user=root --password="securePassword"'
- Code: Select all
#rsync -avz / --exclude '/var/mysql/*' | ssh firstname.lastname@example.com:/
Would I be copying an entire system and overwriting the default files and settings entirely, including passwd and shadow files?
I could then do a running system upgrade to Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS and be happy on the new hardware

Bounce back.
I think the CNS recognized the 'up to now pain free' ROMs and let me do them . THis helped to normalize things I think.The more you splint the longer you stay tight it seems. The G5 helped SO much.Melted the ab spasms fast.
I was very happy with all that I could do today.
One arm swings
12 kg x5/5/5/5x2
16 kgx5/5/5/5x3
work sets
24 kg
180 reps
9540 lbs
this was good enough. back started slowly and loosened up each sets
Snatch( OL pull ascent, corkscrew descent)
20 reps a minute pace.focused on keeping the bell close on the ascent and descent and resting at the top. havent really done the corkscrew technique but it's not that hard,especially with the 16kg. really spares the grip too, as it is supposed to. Focused on technique and pace, not power.
Using the ol style pull/yank as I hip extend takes all the pressure off the biceps and also spares the grip. doing a HS swing snatch really works the crap outa the grip.not the best for reps though. Since my back was tweaky and I didnt snatch the 24 today thought I would fool around a bit.
Snatch holds
45 secx3 set
Face pulls
Very, very happy with being able to train today and not crawling on the floor hoping I can stand up and work monday. I got the lesson on facilitation and it's even fresher in my mind than ever,lol. No need for a refresher course again.No more double kb work or ab dominant stuff.
datsit, gotta stretch.

watch the Tylenol...extremely hard on the liver...the difference in dosage which becomes toxic to the liver is very small: only 3 grams. 4 grams taken over a 24 hour period is considered therapeutic. 7 grams becomes toxic. Tylenol accounts for 20-30% of all liver failure cases in the U.S. Under eat or drink more than a beer a day and the liklihood of liver damage increases even more. Daily tylenol users (one tablet a day) also have double the risk of kidney failure over their lifetimes compared to non users.
I like Advil...it has toxicity issues too but not as bad as Tylenol. I can enjoy my beer too. very important.
- Mark Reifkind said...
thanks man. I got seriously good relief yesterday with one gram.This morning I took 500 mgs. and feel good.
I am wondering if I have more a pain issue than the inflammation I used to have.
If this is better for me( in terms of relief) than the alleve I can't imagine I would need anywhere near that much.
7 grams would 14 tabs!I dont't drink so that helps too.Ibuprfen does nothing for me- I can take 2400 mgs no problem and feel no relief. 2 alleve a day works much better.
I was down to just one alleve a day.
I will get this knee replaced in the next few years and get off all this shit for good.
thanks again.
- fawn friday said...
I second what Randy says... one of my clients is a Dr. of Organic Chemistry... she is a drug designer, she says no Tylenol because of just what Randy said.
- Mark Reifkind said...
thanks for the feedback. I'm wondering what she would say about a gram a day use? Its pretty amazing how much less pain I am in from the tylenol compared to the alleve.Could you ask her?
- fawn friday said...
I see her on Wednesday, I will ask about the one gram. I will pass on what I learn, which I am sure will be more than either of us ever wanted to know. Ha! She and I have discussed Tylenol before, I wish I could remember all of what she said... She is a super brain.
- Mark Reifkind said...
I ask because they advertise a time relase tylenol as an 'arthritis' med, which means to me a daily dose.thanks
- fawn friday said...
On Tylenol from the O. Chem Prof. Herself...
What is it about Tylenol that makes it an effective pain reliever?
Tylenol relieves pain for some people and has a moderate effect on
fever. It does not relieve inflammation. Since it isn't an
anti-inflammatory like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxin, it likely
doesn't work on pain in the same way, either. That means that it's
side effects are also different. For example, it has no effect on the
stomach or heart or kidneys that I know of (the kidney thing may not
be right). Aspirin etc works to block a major pathway that creates
prostaglandins, which are a class of regulatory compounds involved in
pain, inflammation, fever, kidney perfusion, heart function, blood
clotting, and a few other important items.
> I know Tylenol can have a negative effect on the liver. What are the
> conditions? How much does one have to take before side effects cause
Your liver normally uses a specific enzyme to degrade Tylenol into a
non-active substance that is eliminated in urine or feces. That enzyme
is also used to degrade a large number of other foreign substances,
including alcohol. You have only so much of that enzyme, and if it's
really busy, the Tylenol (or the other stuff) is shuffled onto another
pathway. That's why there's a warning on the Tylenol bottle about
taking more than 3 alcoholic beverages/day and using Tylenol. The
major, secondary pathway leads to a liver-toxic intermediate. It's
more dangerous than most people think. The liver can heal itself over
time but why stress it? A healthy liver is your friend, after all.
This sounds general. There's a website more detailed if you want it.
> What are the effects when a tiny amount (1 gram) of Tylenol is used
for pain
> relief?
You get a small amount of pain relief. A gram of Tylenol is not a tiny
amount, but the maximum adult dose is about 4 grams. That much can
kill a child. Whether 2 grams is enough to hurt you depends on your
general health, age, and weight. Tylenol is metabolized quickly, so
doesn't last long in your body. It also requires a lot of it to feel
better. Contrast this with IBU: 0.6 g/day = 2.0 g/day of Tylenol = 0.2
g/day naproxin.
> Are certain types of pain treated better by Tylenol?
Headaches. Unless you're prone to ulcers or have blood-clotting
issues, an orthopod usually doesn't tell you to use it for the stuff
we create at the gym.

thanks so much fawn.thats great info. for me, who does not drink except on rare occasions I dont have a lot of conflicting toxins for my liver to deal with and what I found was that one gram of tylenol worked way better tha 2400+ mgs of ibuprofen. so small amoutns work well for me.
but thats how I am; very susceptible to certain drugs and almost no effect from others

By Jonathan Stempel
(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that consumers who receive receipts from the federal government that contain confidential credit card information may not be able to sue for damages.
The court unanimously said the government may not lose its traditional immunity from lawsuits in cases seeking damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is designed to ensure fair and accurate credit reporting and protect customer privacy.
James Bormes, a Chicago lawyer, had paid a $350 federal court filing fee through the government's pay.gov system with his American Express credit card. He said his receipts for that transaction contained his card's expiration date, violating FCRA provisions designed to protect against identity theft.
Bormes then sued the government, seeking class-action status on behalf of people with receipts that displayed card expiration dates or too many digits from credit and debit card numbers.
In the court's first signed decision since its current term began, Justice Antonin Scalia rejected a November 2010 ruling by a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., that a different law known as the Little Tucker Act provided the government's consent to be sued in FCRA cases.
"Since FCRA is a detailed remedial scheme, only its own text can determine whether the damages liability Congress crafted extends to the federal government," Scalia wrote.
"To hold otherwise - to permit plaintiffs to remedy the absence of a waiver of sovereign immunity in specific, detailed statutes by pleading general Tucker Act jurisdiction - would transform the sovereign-immunity landscape," he added.
The Supreme Court sent the case to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago to decide whether the FCRA itself provides a waiver of federal immunity from damages actions.
John Jacobs, a lawyer for Bormes, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The U.S. Department of Justice did not immediately respond to similar requests.
During oral argument last month, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suggested that if Bormes were to win, it could expose the government to many costly claims. "The consequences are enormous for the federal fisc," she had said, referring to the government's financial condition.
The case is U.S. v. Bormes, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 11-192.

Coming to a planet near you.
If a foreign government had attacked non-digital assets of any US corporation, you would expect some kind of formal reprisal. Maybe not an airdrop of Marines, but certainly something more than Hilary Clinton threatening to write a stern letter.
What I have not doped out yet to my own satisfaction is whether the tepid response from Washington is the fault of the current administration, confusion regarding the digital nature of the breach and assets, or a little of both.

Isn't the use of Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi against the Geneva convention? We could get in a lot of trouble.
Especially after she proved herself so cool under sniper fire in bosnia. Look how quick she was with that sidearm!:

I think it has something to do with Chinese savings now being the foundation of much of the western economy, and the fact that China is a major nuclear power.
What China realised and the USSR didn't, IMO, is that they could forget the cold war and essentially buy the west with the west's own money.
The problem with this theory of winning the new cold war simply by buying the opponent is that it doesn't, and can't, lead to any kind of victory. By investing in US debt China has bound themselves in an unholy blood pact to the U.S. economy. We on some level need them to continue pouring money into the economy to pay for poorly thought out foreign policy, they on the other hand need us to continue to prosper or all of their investments become worthless. If one side wins both sides win, if one sides loose both sides loose. The Chinese have already shown their realization of this in their effort to keep interest rates low to prevent inflation from devaluing their assets.
Was that a long winded post for "The US is facilitating a Ponzi scheme, with China being the the bottom rung contributors."?
I'm not sure I agree with several of your premises. They're the popular views, but I'm not sure if they're actually true.
The first supposition is that China owns a large portion of our debt - this one I can factually dispute based on numbers from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt [wikipedia.org]
Foreign and international own approximately 28% of our debt, and China owns 24% of the international debt. This means China only holds about 7% of our total debt.
Second, and this is just my own supposition, I
Sure in the future they might try to call the debt
This seems to be a common misunderstanding. Holders of treasury bonds cannot "call the debt."
When China buys US debt, they buy treasury bonds (or one of the half-dozen other names the same basic instrument sells under). A treasury bond is a promise to pay a stated sum of money on a given date.
So, today I might buy a $100 treasury bond with a maturity of 2040. In 2040 I can turn in that bond for $100 in US dollars (cash or whatever) from the US government. In 2039 it can't be turned in for a dime. Now, in 2039 you could almost certainly sell it to somebody else for very close to $100. The way China makes money is that the $100 bond might have only cost them $20-30 or whatever to buy today. Bonds may also pay interest as well.
The only thing China can do is stop buying new bonds and cash in their existing ones as they mature. The US never promised to give them money before the maturity date, so they are under no obligation to do so.
What do they loose? The dogs?
Personally, I'm more worried about one side or the other losing.
What did Google and the rest of them expect, they got in to bed with a country that has little to no regard for the privacy of its own citizens, did Google honestly think they would be treated any different? I surely don't feel sorry for them. Google compromised so much in order to "compete in the world economy", and now they are shocked that they got bit?
The Scorpion and the Turtle.
I thought it was a scorpion and a frog (how does a scorpion sting a turtle in the back?)
It's time, my friends:
10 years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as hackers of fortune. If you have a problem with crackers, if no one else can help track them down, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The G-Team.
"I love it when a LAN comes together."
It couldn't be them. China would never do anything wrong.
That... or they'll just blame it on their status as a "developing nation" and that they shouldn't be held to the same standards as everyone else.
They traced it to Chinese government IPs. Unless China comes out and says they were hacked, and are working with Google to find the nature of the attack, that's pretty ironclad.
There's botnets running on government computers in most countries, China is probably not an exception. I'm not saying they didn't do it, just that IPs are not complete proof.
Nor does it have to be. China's government is screwed either way. If they claim they are not the attackers, but were working from owned machines, then their "perfection" and "infallibility" are gone. Given the inherent insecurity in authoritarian cocknozzles, that will hurt them where they live.
OTOH, if they don't cop to being hacked themselves, they have no other defense to being the source of the attacks.
Either way, they've gotten taken down a notch (and I bet you they are PISSED about it), and I'm betting that our own cocknozzles in DC are hoping they opt for the second approach. Nothing heavy will come from it, but we'll get a few more of their chips in the big game.

The original official notification of this from Google's Chief Legal Officer [blogspot.com] where he mentioned human rights advocates and human rights issues causes this to seem above the average security breach:
Second, we have evidence to suggest that a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.
I can understand how "We can't enforce copyright on software and music when we're busy lifting hundreds of millions of citizens out of poverty as a developing nation" works but I can't understand how "We need to arrest and persecute human rights activists because we're a developing nation" works.
Works great if you're a stand up comedian.
Oh there's a big surprise! That's an incredible - I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die of not surprise!
Seriously, if all the corporations become as scrupulous as Google is suddenly seeming, it might end up giving Fascism a good name.
1. a body of corporations (those 20 or so affected)
Nothing of note. If they pull out publicly, they will continue to work with the Chinese through third parties. Shareholders don't give a damn about human rights or free speech. They just want their money.
2. a nation
They've already sold us poisoned toys and drywall. They've been using what amounts to slave labor for decades in order to provide cheap products. As long as the aforementioned shareholders are running things, you're not going to hear about the problems, and the American populace is too apathetic to sacrifice any amount of convenience.
3. a global community of nations (UN)
They'll pass some resolutions denouncing interference in the sovereign affairs of other countries. They'll slide in some language about Palestine or Iraq, and it will be vetoed by the US and Israel and maybe a pacific atoll that happens to have a bathroom.
4. a cybercommunity
Learn Chinese and troll MSN Spaces?
1. Corporations will leave China, and forgo any possible profit there, or they won't. Up to them. Google seems to have made their choice.
2. The nation has some soul-searching to do. I expect that the US government will do exactly nothing for a long time, while pleading that other crises are taking up all their attention. (Which, actually is a pretty good excuse right now.)
3. The UN will do nothing. Cyberwarfare is not something the UN is chartered to police, and not something they care about, and ev
Who didn't see that one coming from a mile away? I called it the moment I read that there was a sophisticated attack on Google.
Whether its all fabricated or not, I like the idea of Google pulling out of China. Google is one of the leading innovators in the western world - and by keeping their services out of China it sends a message to the government: Stop Oppression.
I think your observation is apropos but could be strengthened a bit. Let's take it as writ that China's government is stealing. No doubt they have been stealing from Google as well. So in a world where information and its flow is your breadbasket, stealing information is like poking holes in the pipes leading to Google (1) losing control of information they are monetizing, (2) losing control over their own IP which is all that keeps them a step above their competitors (such as Baidu and a Chinese governmen
Working for a Defense contractor, one of our systems was compromised. Fortunately, the idiot who gained access screwed up SSH which alerted us to what was going on, and prevented them from erasing their tracks. All SSH connections were from computers in China. They've been doing this for years, and no one has really called them on it until now. It takes Google to make a big enough splash before anyone really pays attention to it.
The Wall Street Journal had a great article about some of the details behind the scenes of this particular incident, and also another article that did a good job of summarizing what has been discussed here over the last couple of years. The main stream media is openly stating that the People's Liberation Army is actively encouraging "citizen cyber militias" to conduct "cyber attacks" (good Lord how I hate that term) against foreign (read, United States) corporations. Although they haven't gone so far as to state that those militias have active backing of the government, they have said that the government is turning a blind eye to their activities. Furthermore, the WSJ goes on to state that there are United States agencies involved in similar espionage activities.
Given that background, it seems like hacking Chinese companies should be fair game for up and coming "security researchers" here in the United States. In the 1990s the United States government made it quite clear that they were going to come down hard on people who mess with government and Fortune 500 systems. Given the option between really securing the systems and punishing those who exploit the lack of security, they went with the latter. A lot of people, myself included, decided that once we turned 18 and faced the threat of real Federal prosecution, the wise move was to turn off the war dialers, stop snarfing ESN/MIN pairs out of the air, and stop trying to run exploit code against computers that we don't control.
We can't hone our craft in the United States anymore. Although there is a whole market for securing IT resources against attack, there isn't a playground to pick up skills in. My suggestion is that China is that playground. My suggestion is that Chinese corporations in the United States are the targets. I mean lets face it, there are hundreds of thousands of compromised computers in the United States. The United States government can't be held accountable for malicious activity directed toward Chinese corporations. It would be unfortunate for those entities to be DDoS'd. It would be unfortunate for their internal workstations to be the target of vulnerability research.
I can't find the link to the actual report in TFA.
I don't doubt that there's a strong suggestion that the Chinese government was somehow involved in the intrusion attempts mentioned by Google, and generally it isn't Google's habit to lie or deceive in these high profile matters.
But two days after the Google announcement a report comes out saying "yes it's the Chinese government, yes it's them!"? Without obvious links to the actual report?
I just sense it's just the "security companies" trying to ride the PR bandwagon. I mean, it's just on everybody's mind, and "somebody had to say it out aloud". So you cobble together related bits and pieces and make a grand pronouncement, making everybody happy. But does it prove anything? Not until we find the evidence. Until then it's all just hearsay.
Besides, would you really base your conclusions on findings from "VeriSign's iDefense security lab"? From the company who tried to f*ck up NXDOMAIN?
This is not the end of the story. I suspect more juicy bits will come through.
The premise is that China hacked Google to access the accounts of these Chinese Human rights activists. Given that Google already complies with Chinese law, why did China not openly contact Google over this?

Because the attack's targets go beyond the authority of their laws: a coordinated effort to target specific human rights advocates not just in China but around the world [arstechnica.com] .
In the article it says they located the Command and Control box. I did a little investigation of my own and see what they mean. It's oh so obvious this was perpetrated by the Chinese government. Just look at the facts!

Assassin's Creed III: The Redemption
In an odd move, Ubisoft chose to split the King Washington DLC storyline into three separate parts. We've gotten The Infamy, then The Betrayal, and now, everything comes full circle for Connor and ol' George in The Redemption.
Not a whole lot has happened so far, but with the final chapter in sight, Ubisoft has a chance to tie it all together in a nice bow and justify its delivery scheme.... read more

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama says he plans to run for a fourth term next year.
Sessions is beginning his 17th year of service in the Senate. The 66-year-old senator said Wednesday in Montgomery he's still enjoying serving in Washington and plans to run again in 2014.
Sessions was the only Republican in Alabama's Senate or House delegation to vote for the fiscal cliff legislation at the start of the year. Sessions said that by the time the Senate voted at 1 a.m. on New Year's Day, taxes had gone up on everyone and the Senate had to act to bring them down. He says it's time for the Senate to get serious about the next step, which is cutting federal spending. He labeled the current federal spending unsustainable.

Spinal and epidural anesthesia
Spinal and epidural anesthesia are medicines that numb parts of your body to block pain. They are given through shots in or around the spine. You will stay awake during both of these types of anesthesia.
The area of your back where the needle will be inserted will be cleaned with a special solution. Most of the time this shot will go in your lower back. This area may also be numbed with a local anesthetic. You may receive fluids through an intravenous line (IV, in a vein). You may also get medicine to help you relax.
For an epidural:
- The doctor will inject medicine just outside of the sac of fluid around your spinal cord. This is called the epidural space.
- The medicine numbs, or blocks feeling in a certain part of your body so that you cannot feel pain. The medicine begins to take effect in about 10 to 20 minutes. It works well for longer procedures. Women often have epidurals during childbirth.
- A small tube (catheter) is often left in place. You can receive more medicine through the catheter to help control your pain during or after your procedure.
For a spinal:
- The anesthesiologist will inject medicine into the fluid in your spinal cord. This is usually done only once, so you will not need to have a catheter placed.
- The medicine begins to take effect right away. It works well for shorter and simpler procedures.
Oxygen levels in your blood, your pulse, and your blood pressure will be checked during your procedure. You will have a bandage where the needle was inserted.
Why the Procedure is Performed
Spinal and epidural anesthesia have fewer side effects and risks than general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free). Patients usually recover much faster and can go home sooner.
Spinal anesthesia is often used for genital, urinary tract, or lower body procedures.
Epidural anesthesia is often used during labor and delivery, and surgery in the pelvis and legs.
Epidural and spinal anesthesia are often used when:
- The procedure or labor is too painful without any pain medicine.
- The procedure is in the belly, legs, or feet.
- Your body can remain in a comfortable position during your procedure.
- You want fewer side effects and a shorter recovery than you would have from general anesthesia.
Spinal and epidural anesthesia are generally safe. Ask your doctor about these possible complications:
- Allergic reaction to the anesthesia used
- Bleeding around the spinal column (hematoma)
- Difficulty urinating
- Drop in blood pressure
- Infection in your spine (meningitis or abscess)
- Nerve damage
- Seizures (this is rare)
- Severe headache
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or could be pregnant
- What drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription
During the days before the procedure:
- Tell your doctor about any allergies or health conditions you have, what medicines you are taking, and what anesthesia or sedation you have had before.
- If your procedure is planned, you may be asked to stop taking any drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot 7 – 10 days before the procedure. Some of these are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and heparin.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your procedure.
- Arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from the hospital or clinic.
- If you smoke, try to stop. Ask your doctor or nurse for help quitting.
On the day of the procedure:
- You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything after midnight the night before the surgery.
- Do not drink alcohol the night before and the day of your procedure.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital or clinic.
After the Procedure
After an epidural, the catheter will be removed, and you will lie in bed until you have feeling in your legs and can walk. You may feel sick to your stomach and be dizzy. You may be tired.
After spinal anesthesia, you will lay flat in bed for a few hours to keep from getting a headache. You may feel sick to your stomach and be dizzy. You may be tired.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most patients feel no pain during spinal and epidural anesthesia and recover fully.

text: The Braintree Police Department recently brought on two military veterans as part of an expansion of the department's ranks. The department currently employs 68 officers, but has a budget for 75 this fiscal year. According to Police Chief Russell Jenkins, so far this year the department has hired five officers, including the two veterans -- one from the Navy and one from the Marine Corps. All the new hires have to go to the Police Academy before patrolling the streets. With three expected retirements next July, Jenkins hopes to hire five more officers sometime in 2013. "By the end of next year, we hope to have 75 [officers on staff]," Jenkins said. "I also hope to be on my way to attempt to get up to 80. Mayor Sullivan has been very supportive of that, as has the Town Council."
