Before you can implement a Facebook comment box, you need to ensure that you meet the following requirements:
- You have access to your website's template source code – this way you can add the Facebook comment code to your website files and then save it back to your server.
- You have a verified Facebook Account – there are two ways you can verify your account; either by mobile phone or credit card.
Bear in mind that there are actually two versions of the Facebook comment box. The first one was released in 2009 – this is the old version that a lot of websites are still using. The latest release – which is basically a major overhaul – was released last March 2011.
This tutorial will focus on how to add a Facebook comment box to your website using the latest version.
The First Step: Setup a Connect Application
You need to setup a connect application before you can integrate Facebook comment boxes on your website. To do so, follow the steps below:
- Go to: http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
- Login using your verified Facebook account.
- After logging in, it will ask for permission to access your basic information; just click "Allow".
- If you see the message "Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Developer App!", click "Setup new App".
- It will ask you for an App Name and if you agree with the Facebook terms.
- You are then required to enter some basic information about your app(s). Here is an example of some of the required fields:
Application Name: My website Facebook comment box
Description: Comment box for example.com blog
Contact email: The same as the email address that you are using in Facebook.
Privacy Policy URL: The URL of your website privacy policy.
Terms of Service URL: The URL of your website terms and conditions.
- Click "Save changes".
- Facebook will then provide an App ID, API Key, App Secret and all of the details regarding your comment application. Take note of this data, copy and paste these details to a text file and save it to your computer in a safe location.
- Click "Website" and you will see the core settings. Enter your Site URL and Site Domain, e.g.
Site URL= http://www.example.com/ and Site Domain is example.com
- Click Save Changes.
- Go to: https://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php – you should see all of your apps there.
- Click your comment application.
- You should see all of the information pertaining to your apps (e.g. App ID, API key, APP Secret, contact email, etc).
- Click "Edit Settings". Only "About" and "Website" really need to be edited – you do not need to edit the rest (e.g. Facebook Integration to Advanced).
- Click "Back to my Apps". Under Directory status you should see: "Not Submitted". You do not need to submit to the App Directory for your comment box to work.
{mospagebreak title=Integrate Facebook Comments Code with WordPress or PHP}
Now that your application is fully ready, you can integrate the Facebook comments code to your site. You will be the one to decide where you are going to place the Facebook comments. For example, if you are using WordPress and you would like to put the Facebook comments on each blog post (assuming you have disabled or removed the WordPress default comment feature), follow the steps below:
- Log-in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Go to Appearance – Editor
- Under "Templates" click "Single.php".
- Locate the end of the post section and paste this code:

<fb:comments href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"></fb:comments>
The value of href should the canonical post URL. The primary reason is that when someone in Facebook clicks the link, the user will land on the exact post URL in your website where the comment will be found and not in other places of the site.
The PHP function:
<?php the_permalink(); ?>
Will return the exact and canonical post URL where the comments have been made. This is a WordPress specific function and will not work with other CMS or blogging software.
- Save the changes to your single.php file.
- Now open header.php. If you need to moderate comments and receive notifications for all comments on your website, paste this code in the head section just before the  closing tag:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_USER_ID}">
Replace {YOUR_APPLICATION_ID} with your Application ID. And replace {YOUR_USER_ID} with your Facebook User ID. Example:
Application ID: 123456789
Facebook User ID: 987654321
The code will look like:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="123456789">
<meta property="fb:admins" content="987654321">
To get your user ID, simply mouse over your name in your friends Facebook profile or comment on any discussion board in Facebook, then mouse over your name. In your browser status bar it will appear as:
Where the user-ID is 987654321
Now clear all of your browser cache, history, etc. Open any of your WordPress posts. You should see the comment box in the bottom of each post:
Take note that the above procedure is using WordPress. If you are not using WordPress, (e.g. you are using Blogger, Drupal or a custom made CMS) you need to consult the CMS documentation or a developer. If you are using PHP in your website, you can implement the entire code above using the layout below:
//function to get the current post URL of the page
function current_page_url(){
$page_url = 'http'; if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on'){
$page_url .= 's';
return $page_url.'://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
<title>This is your post where you need to add a Facebook comments</title>
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">
<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_USER_ID}">
<!–This is the start of your post–>
<!–This is the end of your post, below this you will need to insert Facebook comments–>
<!–Inserting Facebook Comments–>

<fb:comments href="<?php current_page_url(); ?>"></fb:comments>
The above script works with any PHP based website. The current_page_url function grabs the current post URL where the comment will be made.
{mospagebreak title=Configuring Your Facebook Comment Box}
At this point in the integration process, your Facebook comment box should be working pretty well. However, you can still configure your Facebook comment box according to your needs. To do so, follow these steps:
- Login to Facebook.
- Go to the website where the comment box has been integrated.
- Since you are an administrator, you should see a "Settings" link. Click this link and you will see the configuration parameters for your Facebook comment box. To combat spam and comment abuse, the following are recommended:
a.) Check "Let me approve each comment before it is shown to everyone". This will ensure that all comments published on your website are helpful in the discussion and related to your website post.
b.) Under Blacklisted words, select "Standard Facebook Restrictions".
c.) To increase the chances of those that do not have Facebook accounts commenting on your website, check "Allow users to post using other login providers".
d.) Check "Automatically correct comment grammar mistakes", so that the comments are grammatically correct.
e.) Under "Comments composer" select "Collapse when there are more than 5 comments".
Finally click Save to implement the changes. This will be implemented site wide. See screenshot below:
You can moderate all comments on your Facebook developer page:
- Go to: https://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php
- Login to your Facebook account.
- In your apps, click comment apps and then click "Moderate Comments". You should then see all of the comments made on your website using Facebook.

What baffled me was the margin that states these records came from "Police Court Lawrence, MAss Vol. 1903-1906".
I phoned the Lawrence History Center and they had no idea what Police Court might have been. I called the city clerk's office and the response was the same. I called Lawrence Heritage State Park director who I know and he didn't know. I finally decided to call the National Archives in Waltham, Ma
- bingo! Police Court is what we know today as District Court. from 1901 to 1906 Naturalizations were held at "Police Court" in some New England States and other parts of the country. I asked where these volumes are now housed - Massachusetts State Archives but Waltham has copies of all of them (they did not in the past). Too, you cannot just walk in off the street at the Mass Archives and expect to be taken care of. You must call ahead to ask what about the protocal.
So I thought I would share this with you. If you can't find the naturalization records for some of your ancestors at the National Archives offices, check to see if there was a Police Court at the time you believe your ancestors might have been naturalized. I've always believed that my grandmother (my mother's mother) was naturalized. I could find nothing in Waltham now I will look into the Police Court naturalizations. What a great find!
These documents are a real gift that fell into our hands!

In April 2013, President Obama pledged to give 5 percent of his salary back to the Treasury to show solidarity with federal workers subject to unpaid furloughs as a result of the sequester. Last week, Treasury confirmed that Obama is squared up on his end. He is paid in full.
In an under-the-radar move, the department confirmed the checks in the final of three posts Friday on the "Treasury Notes" blog. The post mentions that Treasury has been publishing the checks to the blog to answer "public requests" for information. Treasury posted PDF images of the checks from the account of "B and M Obama" and the subsequent receipts.
The first family made the payments in the form of seven checks of just under $3,000 each between March and September 2013. The checks total $20,000, and are made out to "United States Treasury." The comment field on each says "Return to General Fund."
Obama was among many public officials who pledged salary solidarity with feds in the wake of the sequester.
Obama is paid $400,000 a year in salary.

Oliver Jordan (Köln)
light and shadow
Albert Camus-a writer who questioned the fundaments of modern life? In his important essay "The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt" from the year 1951 he challenged those on the right and left who steer world events from their armchairs, and who in their good or evil intentions forget the ancient Greek rule of life: nature, simple living, and love and affection between human beings. Ultimately it was his Greek "sunny thinking" that enabled him to triumph over the ingenuity of Sartre, a much more educated and brilliant philosopher, and that won him the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957-and still (or now again) sparks the aspirations of many people.

I have no idea what to call it but i can tell you two things:
1: It is a monoplane.
2: It is red.
And it took a while to make due to difficulty with attaching the wings and tail without studs showing.
Yeah shit photos, no natural light, no backdrop, one point of light. Shut up. I might take better pictures later (Blatant lies).

Dr. Deane Waldman brings clarity, understanding and a workable solution to our sick U.S. healthcare system
We can fix healthcare
Obamacare increases insurance costs, limits allowable services and reduces medical care...
Obama's so-called reform of healthcare created over 10,000 pages of regulations...
The "Affordable" Care Act costs many Americans up to twice as much as they were paying...
New regulations divert money away from service providers and into the hands of bureaucrats...
By 2025 U.S. healthcare will consume 20% of our annual budget...
Solution: Direct-Pay USA healthcare slashes costs by 50% and puts health care back in your control...
This is a book that has great relevance for any American who expects to grow older or need any kind of health care in his or her life...
1. Don't give way to despair. A rational and affordable healthcare solution is actually possible.
2. Accept that Washington will never fix healthcare. Only We can.
3. Understand why patients suffer under the American healthcare system.
4. Recognize why prior fixes for healthcare have consistently failed.
5. Learn about a solution that will actually fix healthcare: Direct-Pay USA.
6. Demand that Direct-Pay USA become the law of the land, replacing other unworkable healthcare systems.
Dr. Deane Waldman explains in detail what is really wrong with the U.S. healthcare system in a keynote speech given at the 2013 Federation of Republican Women in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
A host of "fixes" have been tried on our sick healthcare system and it is sicker than ever: Medicare, Medicaid, Single Payer (at the VA), Obamacare, etc. In these pages, you will compare promises with reality. You will decide for yourself whether the government has taken care of us, or not? Does Washington know the root cause of healthcare's sickness? Do you? When you understand that the problem is cancer, you can begin to see why all their so-called fixes have not helped patient Healthcare.
Good decisions are based on hard evidence. Dr. Waldman offers you his proofs: here on this site, in books and articles. Read and consider. From magical thinking to thinking systems; highlighting the unfunded mandate and the insurance principle; explaining what TLC means in Washington; why medical rationing will kill us; to how a "successful" Obamacare that will be the death of us: See why Dr. Waldman writes what he writes. Then decide for yourself if you agree or disagree.
Instead of trillions of dollars going to government administrators to manage thousands of pages of regulations, Dr. Waldman's simple and workable plan would put control of your money and your life back into your hands. YOU decide about your care and get that care when you need it. The Direct-Pay USA system would mean greatly reduced costs both to you and our nation. At the same time, Direct-Pay USA returns control of health care to its rightful owner—YOU, the patient.
Dr. Waldman's new eye-opening book lays bare the disaster that has befallen both patients and doctors over the last 50 years due to government and administrative involvement into health care. Today close to 50% of healthcare spending goes NOT to doctors to pay for care, but to administrators who manage the miles of red tape introduced by ever increasing number of government regulations.
Dr. Deane Waldman was Chief of Pediatric Cardiology at: the Children's Hospital of San Diego, the University of Chicago, and the University of New Mexico. Responsible for budgets in excess of $20 million, he has seen the insides and outside of our floundering medical care systems. His proposal for a new Direct-Pay USA system has the potential to revolutionize healthcare in the U.S. and save us from the imminent financial catastrophes of both Medicare and Obamacare.
Before we consider how to fix the sick American healthcare system, we need to look at how Washington is failing the American people.

Why the Muslim Brotherhood Can Still Win in Egypt
The Muslim Brotherhood remain the most organized party in Egypt despite the deposal of its leader Mohammed Morsi as the country's president, says Tarek Osman, author of "Egypt on the Brink." He discusses the religious and political group's chances in a future election.

Johnson becomes 24th pitcher, sixth lefty to achieve feat
WASHINGTON -- Randy Johnson would have been excused Thursday night if he wanted to let down his guard a little, loosen or lighten up, or just plain relax.
Instead, he remained the quintessential Big Unit -- figuratively keep his foot on the competitive accelerator -- in the aftermath of securing his 300th career victory in the Giants' 5-1 decision over the Nationals in the first game of a doubleheader.
Johnson, who no-hit Washington for four innings and ultimately allowed an unearned run and two hits in six innings, flashed his sense of humor in a postgame news conference. But even his gags carried a hint of the fire that drove him to this point and still stokes him.
"It sounds funny, but I've played 21, 22 years, I'm 45 and I've come upon 300 wins, and I'm thinking, 'I only have 211 more to catch Cy Young,'" Johnson said, prompting laughter.
Unless Johnson finds a time machine that fits his 6-foot-10 frame and reclaims some of his youth, he's no threat to catch Young, baseball's all-time leading winner. Nevertheless, Johnson's list of accomplishments is enviable, and it grew longer with his latest triumph.
He not only became the 24th Major Leaguer to ascend to the 300-win level but also established himself as the sixth left-hander in that group.
He's the first pitcher to win his 300th game on his first try since Tom Seaver, then with the Chicago White Sox, did so in August 1985. The next six -- Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine -- needed multiple attempts.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Johnson also became the second-oldest pitcher to reach the 300 mark -- behind only Niekro, who achieved the feat when he was 46 years and 188 days old on Oct. 6, 1985. Johnson is 45 years and 267 days old.
Johnson's the seventh pitcher in Giants history to win 300 games while pitching for the franchise at some point in his career. He's the fourth to hit that plateau as a Giant, joining Tim Keefe, Mickey Welch and Christy Mathewson.
Johnson secured his milestone victory against a fitting opponent -- the Nationals, who launched his professional career by drafting him in the second round in 1985 when they were known as the Montreal Expos. By coincidence, the Nationals also were San Francisco's opponent when Barry Bonds hit his record 756th home run.
"I think I'm satisfied, but I've never been content," said Johnson, who bruised his throwing shoulder as he fell while scrambling for a comebacker to open the sixth yet finished the inning. "That's probably why I never really got caught up in the ... personal things because I always tried to excel and continue to do that."
Still, the five-time Cy Young Award winner clearly appreciated the enormity of his feat. "I think I'm actually more nervous now than I was pitching," he said.
Johnson has been cited by numerous observers as possibly the last 300-game winner, due to the five-man rotation which reduces the number of appearances a starter can make and the scarcity of pitchers able or willing to play long enough to win an appreciable number of games.
But, having been dismissed by many experts as the next to win his 300th when Glavine did so two years ago, Johnson pointedly said, "Don't overlook Jamie Moyer" -- the Philadelphia left-hander who ranks second among active pitchers with 250 victories.
Johnson's latest triumph affirmed what baseball people have long known and what he has maintained about himself: He's all about winning.
Following a 36-minute rain delay -- a watery reminder of Wednesday's downpour that delayed his start overnight -- Johnson (5-4) retired the first 10 batters in a row while his teammates scored twice in the second inning to give him the requisite lead.
Fred Lewis singled and Travis Ishikawa doubled with one out off rookie right-hander Jordan Zimmermann (2-3) before Juan Uribe's groundout delivered a run. Emmanuel Burriss singled to center field on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Ishikawa.
The next 19 Giants hitters went down in order before they gave themselves and Johnson a cushion by adding three runs in the ninth. Aaron Rowand singled leading off against Joel Hanrahan and Edgar Renteria doubled before both scored on Randy Winn's double. Bengie Molina's single finished Hanrahan and moved Winn to third, from where he scored on pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval's sacrifice fly.
Performing under light rain and before a sparse crowd that included close to 20 of his relatives and friends, Johnson lost his no-hitter when Elijah Dukes led off the Nationals' fifth with a single up the middle. Johnson yielded just one other hit, Nick Johnson's sixth-inning RBI double.
Randy Johnson received ample support from his defense. Rowand robbed Nick Johnson, Washington's second batter of the game, by plunging to the turf to snare a sinking liner in left-center field. Second baseman Burriss made a glittering play in the fifth by making a diving stop of Ronnie Belliard's one-hopper up the middle and shoveling the ball from his glove to shortstop Renteria to start a double play.
Brian Wilson, who escaped a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the eighth inning by retiring Adam Dunn on a disputed called third strike, pitched the ninth to notch his 13th save and preserve Johnson's triumph.
Johnson's triumph marked the culmination of what in some ways has been an unlikely ascent.
He didn't record his first Major League victory until he was 25, and he had won only 64 games upon turning 30 in 1993. But, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Johnson's 236 victories since turning 30 are the fifth-most in Major League history.
"I'd say anything's possible as long as you stay healthy and are driven and continue to succeed," Johnson said.
Do you think we'll ever see another 300 win pitcher in baseball? I don't think I'll see one, not in my lifetime. -- alh1020

By Sam Hatch
It feels like it's been a while since I've thrown down some pop cultural musings in these pages – and it must have been considering said pages are no longer real. So I welcome you into the digital fold and will hopefully be able to maintain your interest as I ramble incoherently about loud, obnoxious music.
It's been over a year since I took on the nefarious duty of helming The House of Zazz as part of the Tuesday night Gothic Blimp Works, and I have to say it's been a great run so far. The last time I threw down for this guide, I was enthusing about the new Slayer release, but since then there's been a metric ton of events on the heaviness radar. So allow me to fire off a volley of verbiage detailing this House's activities over the past few months.
It's full-fledged summer now, rife with day-longs festivals (Mayhem, Ozzfest, Uproar etc) and high-profile bills (American Carnage), but back in April the biggest event on the eastern seaboard was undoubtedly the New England Hardcore and Metal Fest up at the Worcester Palladium in Massachussetts. Celebrating its twelfth year in existence, it was a two day (three if you count the Thursday night pre-show) long steel bacchanal drawing crazed metalheads from all corners of the globe.
Unless they were from Europe, in which case many of the bands were waylaid by the ominous Icelandic volcano. Eyjafjallajökull (pretty metal, eh?) seemed to have something against black metal in particular, as its eruption grounded performers 1349 and Nachtmystium and forced them off of the bill. In their stead the main stage was laden with mangy acts dropping plenty of deathcore, thrash and a smattering of folk and Viking metal.
Day one (Friday, April 23rd) was essentially the local appearance of a nationally touring showcase featuring Valient Thorr, Between The Buried And Me, Baroness and Mastodon. Thorr's crusty stoner rock was a cheesy Hors d'œuvre with lead singer Valient Himself strutting shirtless around the stage like a drunken biker clone of Mick Jagger – routinely shouting "Do you know what I'm talking ABOWWTT?" even if we sometimes clearly didn't.
Between the Buried and Me again proved tight in person, showcasing their musical-school nerd tendencies while proving that somehow this kinda stuff can be entertaining in a live setting. Baroness were an amorphous, caressing ooze – slowly filling the room with monumentally heavy vibes and moving from song to song with nary an interruption.
Mastodon were again showcasing their brilliant album Crack the Skye (I know, it's not as brutal as Remission, but it was still my number one disc for 2009) in its entirety, followed by some choice numbers from prior discs. It was essentially the same show I had seen them deliver up at Boston's House of Blues last fall, and sadly that was the better performance.
Nothing against the band's capabilities, for they tore through the tracks with an adept fervor, but it was the Palladium's nasty sound (and the wildly overdriven board mix) that drowned the melodies and rendered the music's intricacies undetectable without earplugs. Towards the end of the set, notoriously persnickety guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds' equipment seemed to fail him, resulting in his sudden walkout for the bulk of the finale. Still, Mastodon even with technical difficulties is a fearsome beast indeed.
Day two (Saturday, April 24th) started early with pirate metallers Swashbuckle setting the proper mood. The invariably sardine-packed second stage proved popular with bands such as Arsonists Get All The Girls and The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza drawing in the younger set. As if to lay waste to any potential scene residue lingering in the room, neo-thrash madmen Municipal Waste closed out the second stage. I had the chance to interview guitarist Ryan Waste earlier in the day, and he seemed psyched to have the chance to invoke sweaty mania in such a small space.
The main stage started off on schedule, with bands like England's Malefice showing genuine honor at being asked to deliver their Stateside debut at the festival. Chelsea Grin, Abacabb, Impending Doom and others presented a steady flow of death and deathcore, with the occasional stylistic break courtesy of groups like the thrash throwback outfit Holy Grail. Of course, one of the mid-day bands I was amped to see (1349) was one of those stuck in volcanic limbo, so trusty locallers The Red Chord stepped in to fill their shoes, albeit without any black metal stylings.
The evening was a weird balance of American brutality and European tradition, with Tennessee's Whitechapel and the immaculate live performance of Arizona's Job For A Cowboy standing horn to horn against much-anticipated sets from Eluveitie and Amon Amarth. Eluveitie were nothing but pub-styled fun, but unfortunately their expansive instrument requirements (fiddles, flutes and hurdy gurdies – oh my!) caused a lengthy setback in the evening's punctuality.
Amon Amarth strode onto stage as if Worcester was being conquered by recently unfrozen Viking badasses. They played all of their great, singalong-inducing epics, but by the end of their set fatigue had largely overtaken the bulk of the crowd. This inspired a pretty massive walkout despite the fact that festival mainstays Cannibal Corpse had yet to begin.
Once their sparse, blood-drenched banner was hoisted up into the rafters, a second wave hit me so that I was able to scream (until I lost my voice, that is) and headbang along to family tunes such as Priests of Sodom and Hammer Smashed Face. It was worth all of the verbal abuse we had to endure from monolithic frontman George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, who displayed his inhuman hair windmill headbanging techniques up until their 1:15am finish time.
It was clearly the show to beat this year, but I also happened to remotely attend another monumental event via satellite last week in a movie theater of all places. It was a four hour simulcast from Sofia, Bulgaria's branch of the Sonisphere Festival, showcasing the groundbreaking appearance of all four bands from thrash metals vaulted "Big Four" – Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica, in that order of appearance.
It was a very cool idea, and despite a lack of promotion and a relatively underwhelming turnout, it was a great way to rock out in a nice air-conditioned room and meet other likeminded psychos. Anthrax were again featuring Joey Belladonna and concentrated on material from their mid-80s heyday. Joey also delivered an impressive rendition of Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell in honor of the late Ronnie James Dio.
Megadeth were assailed by driving rain, but it didn't stop them from throwing down a technically proficient set, in spite of leader Dave Mustaine's half-hearted vocal attempts. Slayer strangely failed to create a full-blown mosh pit in the theater aisles, but their hour of big hitters (of course they played Angel of Death and Raining Blood) entertained without throwing any curve balls.
Metallica again proved to be the biggest, most accessible act of the bunch, and delivered a tighter set than when I caught them at Boston back in 2009. Drummer Lars Ulrich still seems to have trouble delivering the complexity of their earlier songs, but he did his best to keep up. Lead singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield's penchant for rockabilly cool showed in his odd choice of pseudo-vintage condenser microphones.
Clearly the biggest moment of the night was when Hetfield invited members of all the bands (minus most of Slayer for some reason) to join him on stage for a pounding rendition of Diamond Head's Am I Evil? For fans, this was a "once-in-a-lifetime" event, as James and Megadeth's Mustaine played together on stage for the first time in decades. The latter was booted from Metallica back in 1983, and Am I Evil was one of the songs that early incarnation of Metallica consistently jammed on and bonded over.
Eventually a DVD/Blu-ray of the event will be available (and internet pirates can handily find hi-def rips of the event even now if they look carefully – ARRRRR!), but it was a blast being able to say I watched a thrash metal concert in a movie theater megaplex, something I never would have dreamed possible back in the day.
Speaking of DVDs, there have been a number of great releases lately, starting with some output from German label Nuclear Blast. Classic thrash bangers Exodus' Shovel Headed Tour Machine triple-disc set is an amazing value – delivering a stunningly good quality video of their 2008 performance at Wacken Open Air. There's also an impressively long documentary (with some fun bonus nuggets) on Disc 2, and the entire Wacken show also appears on a third compact disc.
Swedish progressive, tech-metallers Meshuggah also have a nice video/CD compilation out entitled Alive, and while their nerdy math-metal may be an acquired taste for many, fans of the band should definitely seek it out. Unfortunately, there's not as much in terms of behind the scenes footage or interviews.
But for quality documentaries, At The Gates' The Flames of the End is a mind-bogglingly dense triple-disc set filled with microscopic detail encompassing the Swedish band's inception, brief flourish to popularity and subsequent genre-influencing impact. It's as impressive and sprawling as Cannibal Corpse's Centuries of Torment DVD (a benchmark for epic metal journalism), and comes with a number of extra features, videos and live performances.
I was going to run down a list of recent discs and rate them, but I'm running out of time (and room), so I'll just say that this year has found me grooving to new music from Valkyrja, Darkthrone, Burzum, High on Fire, Exodus, Overkill, Danzig, The Vision Bleak, Witchery and Nachtmystium – if any of that nonsense sounds compelling to you, do tune in to my weekly show and I'll promise to assail your ears with those and plenty of other, similar sonic entities.
And in closing, I'd like to pay homage to those who have recently passed into Heaviness Heaven, most notably Peter Steele of Type O Negative, Paul Grey of Slipknot and the one and only Ronnie James Dio of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and of course Dio. Hails and horns, fellas! \m/

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Long Valley Finnish Structures
The following excerpts were taken from the National Register of Historic Places nomination form, "Long Valley Finnish Structures." The nomination is a thematic group meaning that several related properties are being nominated as historic places.
The buildings date back to 1902. They are the last physical remnants of the Finnish homesteads that dotted the valley as more and more immigrants settled here. The index to United States patents for Valley County lists 94 homestead patents issued to Finns between the years 1904 and 1925; few of these homesteads are intact and only a small number of their buildings still stand. Those that do, however, are both historically and architecturally significant and some of them deserve listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The Finns built extraordinarily sturdy structures by using a tool they called a vara, or scribe, to measure how much wood should be grooved out of the bottom of a log so that it would fit snugly on the curved upper side of the one beneath it. Chinking was rarely necessary in a Finnish-built log cabin, although sometimes moss or rags were placed between logs for insulation. This method dates back at least to the 13th century and is so effective that it was still used on nearly all the Finnish homestead buildings in Long Valley. Most of the buildings were made of hewn logs, perhaps because, as Donovan Clemson writes in his book Living with Logs, "hewed logs looked a little more professional, removed the building a little from the rawness associated with the standing bush...the house, hopefully, might even be mistaken from a distance for a frame building with dressed sides."¹
This nomination includes six homestead cabins; seven log houses of two or more rooms; four log saunas; log barn and frame barn of double crib style; log granary, goat barn, chicken house, and blacksmith's shop; frame school building and a frame teacher's cottage--25 structures representing several farm activities and typical homesteads from a one-room cabin to a hewn-log house consisting of two or more rooms and one or two stories. Very few written records of the Finnish community in Long Valley still exist, but these buildings suggest how the Finns lived and worked in the homestead era of Valley County.
Long Valley is fast becoming a popular resort area; the farmland is being sold and subdivided, and homestead buildings--regarded as old shacks--are often destroyed or allowed to deteriorate. National Register listing will provide a record of these structures for future generations and will undoubtedly spark interest in preserving some of the buildings in the thematic group. The structures have a significance both historical and architectural. The Finnish community had become almost completely assimilated into the larger mainstream culture of Long Valley by 1980, and a record of their settlement should not be lost.
Questions for Reading 2
1. When did the Finns move into Long Valley?
2. What kinds of structures did they build on their homestead land?
3. How many homestead patents did the U.S. government issue to the Finns in the period 1904-25?
4. What construction techniques made Finnish cabins or houses nearly airtight?
5. Why were hewn logs preferred to round logs?
6. It is said of Finnish farms that they are usually smaller but have more buildings than the farms of other ethnic groups. How does the reading show this to be true?
7. Why is it important that Finnish homestead buildings be listed in the National Register of Historic Places? Is a goat barn really that significant? Defend your answer.
¹Donovan Clemson, Living with Logs (Saanichton, B.C.: Hancock House, 1974), 32-33.
Reading 2 is compiled from National Register Nomination Form "Long Valley Finnish Structures (Thematic Group)" (Valley County, Idaho), by Alice Koskella, Architectural Historian, Idaho State Historical Society, 1982.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s the press and public figures widely denounced individuals who opposed the Vietnam War. This editorial opinion, published by the Greenfield Recorder in October of 1967, echoes national public sentiment. Those opposed to the war and the draft are identified as a fringe element of the population. Referred to as "Hippies," the author describes them as lazy, selfish and abusers of the freedoms that they have been granted as Americans. Rather than encouraging an end to the war with their actions, the editorial asserts that these protesters have been deceived into advancing Communist objectives. The editorial implies that these protesters are engaged in treason.

Submitted by rc-admin on
College English Association National Conference
March 27-29, 2008
St. Louis, Missouri
We invite papers on the Diodati Circle for the 39th annual meeting of the CEA.
The famous summer of 1816 witnessed the interaction of two of the most famous poets of the early nineteenth century, one increasingly more celebrated author, and one relative unknown. In the case of the two latter figures, Mary Godwin (later Shelley) and John Polidori, most of the critical attention they have traditionally received has focused on their connections to the two former individuals, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron. Nevertheless, in the years immediately following the Genevan summer, Mary Shelley and John Polidori produced the two most enduring literary creations to arise from the ghost story contest. Shelley's Dr. Frankenstein and his creature have never gone out of print, while Polidori's aristocratic vampire Lord Ruthven altered the way in which vampires would be portrayed by later writers, culminating in the appearance of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Papers are invited for a panel that will focus on the various literary interactions among the members of the Diodati circle, including not only the Shelleys, Byron, and Polidori, but also Claire Clairmont, Mary's step-sister. Although biographical considerations are difficult to avoid, participants are encouraged to focus on the intertextual connections among the different figures, hopefully discussing both better known and lesser known works.
Proposals should be submitted via the online database at
by November 1st, 2007.
When you submit your proposal, you may use a pull-down menu to indicate your topic. Indicate at that pull-down menu that your submission should be directed to L. Adam Mekler, chair of the Diodati Circle panel.
You may contact Dr. Mekler with any questions at email@example.com,
but submissions can not be received at that email address.
Individuals without access to computers will need to send hard copy proposals to the following address via US mail by October 15th:
Marina Favila
CEA Program Chair
English Department

Very general......sorry.
Don't really have a set idea for a logo but thinking it would be good to include a little caricature maybe? but not essential. Being an I.T. company it would be good to stand out from the rest? Maybe bright and colourful? But again not essential. I would also like to have more of a focus on "Tech Control" and maybe have the I.T. allot smaller. Thanks

Agricultural Transformations in Sugarcane and Labor in Brazil
Thomas D. Rogers
The Portuguese took sugarcane from their Atlantic island holdings to Brazil in the first decades of the 16th century, using their model of extensive agriculture and coerced labor to turn their new colony into the world's largest producer of sugar. From the middle of the 17th century through the 20th century, Brazil faced increasing competition from Caribbean producers. With access to abundant land and forest resources, Brazilian producers generally pursued an extensive production model that made sugarcane's footprint a large one. Compared to competitors elsewhere, Brazilian farmers were often late in adopting innovations (such as manuring in the 18th century, steam power in the 19th, and synthetic fertilizers in the 20th). With coffee's growth in the center-south of the country during the middle of the 19th century, sugarcane farming shifted gradually away from enslaved African labor. Labor and production methods shifted at the end of the century with slavery's abolition and the rise of large new mills, called usinas. The model of steam-powered production, both for railroads carrying cane and for mills grinding it, and a work force largely resident on plantations persisted into the mid-20th century. Rural worker unions were legalized in the 1960s, at the same time that sugar production increased as a result of the Cuban Revolution. A large-scale sugarcane ethanol program in the 1970s also brought upheaval, and growth, to the industry.
Health, Malaria Campaigns, and Development in Brazil
Gilberto Hochman
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History. Please check back later for the full article.
Since the early 20th century, Brazilian public health has focused on rural areas and populations, and the so-called rural endemic diseases that plague them. These diseases—particularly malaria, hookworm, and Chagas disease—were blamed for negatively affecting Brazilian identity ("an immense hospital") and for preventing territorial integration and national progress. For reformist medical and intellectual elites, health and educational public policies could "save" the diseased, starving, and illiterate rural populations and also promote Brazil's entry into the "civilized world." In the mid-20th century, public health has secured a renewed place in the Brazilian political agenda, one associated with the intense debates about development in Brazil in conjunction with democratization following World War II (1945-1964). In particular, debate centered on the paths to be pursued (state or market; nationalization or internationalization) and on the obstacles to overcome underdevelopment. A basic consensus emerged that development was urgent to be pursued by modernization and industrialization.
In 1945, Brazil remained an agrarian country, with 70 percent of the population living in rural areas and a significant part of the economy still dependent on agricultural production. However, associated with urbanization, beginning in the 1930s the Brazilian government promoted policies of industrialization and social protection of organized urban workers, the latter entailing a stratified system of social security and health and social assistance. Public health policies and professionals continue to address the rural population, which has been excluded from social protection policies. The political and social exclusion of this population did not change significantly under the Oligarchic Republic (1889–1930) or during the first government of President Getúlio Vargas (1930–1945). The overall challenge remained similar to the one confronting the government at the beginning of the century—but it now fell under the umbrella of "developmentalism" both as an ideology and as a modernizing program. Economic development would be perceived, on the one hand, as a driver of improvements in living conditions and income in the rural areas. It entailed efforts to stop migration to large urban centers was considered one of the great national problems in the 1950s. On the other hand, disease control and even eradication of "rural endemic diseases" campaigns aimed to facilitate the incorporation of sanitized areas into projects of agricultural modernization and to underpin building the infrastructure for development. Development also aimed to promote the transformation of the inhabitants of rural Brazil into agricultural workers or small farmers. During the Cold War and the anti-communism campaign, the government sought to mitigate the revolutionary potential of the Brazilian countryside by promotion of public health policies. This more general developmental program was supported by important sectors and organizations, including the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB) and, in particular, the bishops of the Northeast.
Health constituted an integral part of the development project and was integrated into Brazil's international health and international relations policies. In the Juscelino Kubitschek Administration (1956–1961) a national program to control endemic rural diseases was created as part of a broader project development, including national integration efforts and the construction of a new federal capital in central Brazil (Brasilia). The country waged its malaria control campaign in conjunction with the Global Malaria Eradication Program of the World Health Organization (WHO) and, to receive financial resources, it signed an agreement with the International Cooperation Agency (ICA). From 1957 malaria eradication had become part of U.S. foreign policy that sought the containment of communism.
The Malaria Eradication Campaign (CEM, 1958-1970) marked the largest endeavor undertaken by Brazilian public health in this period and can be considered as constituting synthesis of this linkage between development and health. Given its centralized, vertical, and technobureaucratic model, this project failed to take into account the structural obstacles to development, a fact denounced by progressive doctors and intellectuals, particularly those affiliated with the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). They affirmed that disease, illiteracy, and hunger stemmed from inequality in land ownership and of the "latifúndio" system. These were the real obstacles to development in the countryside and needed to be removed by an agrarian reform or by a socialist revolution. This debate became radicalized in the early 1960s and constituted one of the factors that led civilian and military elements to launch the coup d'état in March 1964.

A new poll from WIN-Gallup International reports a 22 percent drop in religiosity in Ireland, from 69 to 47 percent, over the past 7 years since the groups last poll. It doesn't stop there either. Globally the decline is from 68 to 59 percent with the sharpest decline coming from Vietnam, 53 to 30 percent. Of course, those self identifying as atheists also rose, globally from 4 to 7 percent.
Views: 352
Cool! I wonder if the abuses via Catholic priest, bishops, and pope, were the last straw for many Irish. They actually looked at what happened and it had an effect.
Absolutely the abuse in Ireland are a big factor. Not sure what the deal is with Vietnam though.
Globally though, access to the internet has to be the biggest factor. Sunshine and a free flow of information are wonderful disinfectants.
Yeah well despite all this, most religious American trust about as much as they trust sex offenders. On the other hand, that means they trust us as much as they'd trust a catholic priest.
Anyway, this means that if things don't work out here in America, I'm moving to Ireland.
I have to wonder:
Is it possible that, since Ireland was so deeply immersed in catholicism, that their break with catholicism after the child abuse scandal could be more radical and more thorough BECAUSE the involvement was so deep and the shock from the scandal equally so? Could we be looking at a countrywide case of "Oh, SNAP!"?
Yeah, I'm rambling here ... but still, I wonder...
Makes sense. And maybe we have so many different religions, all in competition with each other, that the abuses are spread more thinly.

New IE 0-Day May Be in Circulation [Updated]
Well-known researcher and Google employee Michal Zalewski has released a "fuzzing" tool for web browsers. According to Zalewski, while working on the tool they came across what appears to be an independent discovery of an unpatched IE vulnerability by separate researchers in China. The motives of those researchers are unknown.
[Update: See below for reactions from Microsoft and Zalewski. Other changes in this entry make clear that Zalewski's work did not lead to the Chinese IE vulnerability discovery; they led Zalewski to understand that the Chinese had found the same vulnerability he had.]
Fuzz testing is a form of testing in which inputs to the program under test are generated by a "fuzzer" based partly on random factors. The aim is to create unexpected conditions and see if the program under test handles error conditions, edge cases and stress properly.
This 0-day appears to be unrelated to the one revealed recently which exploits a .NET DLL unprotected by ASLR.
Zalewski describes the tool, named cross_fuzz, as "an amazingly effective but notoriously annoying cross-document DOM binding fuzzer that helped identify about one hundred bugs in all browsers on the market - many of said bugs exploitable - and is still finding more."
The tool's design--cruel to the point of torture of a browser's DOM engine--has so much randomness in it that it often makes reproduction of errors difficult. Many of the reports to vendors from the use of this tool remain in a state of vagueness which makes them difficult to fix. Zalewski has released the tool in the hope that community involvement will help to make the tool more helpful to developers.
But the tool found several exploitable and fairly well-defined vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer which Zalewski reported to Microsoft in July. They acknowledged receipt, but did not reply further until just recently to ask that the release of the tool be delayed.
Google researchers have been involved in controversial disclosure episodes before, but clearly there is a point at which it's reasonable for researchers to go public if the vendor has not responded. 6 months seems to be emerging as the industry standard for this.
Note that Zalewski has not completely disclosed the IE vulnerabilities (although he did release a stack trace). Everyone, and certainly Microsoft, has to assume they are in the wrong hands by now, especially as Zalewski's experience indicates that the Chinese researchers had found it themselves and were searching for further information.
Update: Microsoft provided this reaction from Jerry Bryant, group manager, response communications, Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft:
"We are aware of the tool published by a Google security researcher on January 1, 2011. A particular version of the tool was first reported to us in July 2010. At the time, neither Microsoft or the Google security researcher identified any issues. On December 21st, a new version of the tool was reported to us along with information about a potentially exploitable crash found by the new version. We immediately worked to reproduce the issue with the updated and original tool and are currently investigating it further to determine if it is actually exploitable. At this point, we're not aware of any exploits or attacks for the reported issue and are continuing to investigate and monitor the threat environment for any changes.
Security is an industry wide issue and Microsoft is committed to working with researchers and/or the companies who employ them, when they discover potential vulnerabilities and this case is no exception. Working with software vendors to address potential vulnerabilities in their products before details are made public, reduces the overall risk to customers. In this case, risk has now been amplified. We will continue to investigate this issue and take appropriate action to help protect customers."
Zalewski has updated his timeline of work on this tool, the vulnerabilities found with it and his communications with Microsoft to indicate that the earlier version of the fuzzer provided to Microsoft in July did indeed produce the crashes.
It's also worth mentioning, as Microsoft does in their response, that there are no known attacks using exploits produced with this tool. Also, when used on Windows Vista and Windows 7 IE runs, by default, in Protected Mode, a sandbox which limits the impact of most vulnerabilities. There is no indication that cross_fuzz has found any vulnerabilities which break out of Protected Mode.

Competences of the Department
The Department of Civil Protection has the function of addressing, promoting and coordinating the National Service of civil protection
Through the various bodies of the National Service - Joint Committee on State-Regions-Local Authorities, the National Commission for major risks prediction and prevention, Operational Committee of civil protection - the Department has an ongoing relationship with all the national components and the operating structures to ensure the various activities as provided for by law n. 225 of 1992.
With its technical offices - working in close collaboration with the civil protection structures of the Regions and Autonomous Provinces - and with the support of the Centres of Competence, the Department is in charge of daily prediction and prevention of natural and man-made risks. In particular, it guarantees the operation of the national early warning system through the network of Functional Centres and promotes and carries out pprogrammes and projects for risk reduction and mitigation.
The Department plays also an important role in addressing and coordinating emergency planning carried out by local institutions and in promoting and organizing civil protection drills, useful to test organizational and operational procedures.
The Central Functional Centre operates within the Department too: it is a strategic hub of the Functional Centres network - that deals with predicting, monitoring and real-time surveillance of natural phenomena - and the coordinating centre Sistema, at the Sala Situazione Italia, that monitors emergency situations throughout the national territory. Also, COAU - Joint Air Operations Centre - which coordinates the National air fleet to fight forest fires, and the COEMM - Operations Centre for Maritime Emergencies – operate at the headquarters of the Department.
Among its powers, the Department supports the civil protection voluntary work - as specifically provided for by Presidential Decree no. 194 of 2001 - training activities for the various players in the system, the promotion of initiatives for the dissemination of knowledge of civil protection and information to the public.
The Department has also the duty of coordinating the activities of first response to natural disasters, catastrophes or other events that, due to their intensity and extent, must be dealt with immediate intervention and with extraordinary powers and means. With the declaration of a state of national emergency by the Council of Ministers, it is up to the Head of the Department of Civil Protection to issue ordinances that will regulate the carrying out of the first interventions.
