The Federal Workforce Reduction Act would reduce the size of the federal workforce by attrition: only one hire for every two employees who retire or leave service. It also would require agencies to justify their new hires and the administration to disclose all new employees by agency. The president would be able to hire an employee in the interest of national security or in the event of an "extraordinary emergency," according to the bill. The freeze would stay in effect until the federal deficit is resolved, according to the legislation.
Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., the bill's sponsor, introduced the same legislation last year.
Lummis said the bill "aggressively halts the sprawl of government; forces agency heads to make government more efficient; and helps us get back to a people-centered, not government-centered America." The GOP and the federal deficit commission have called on the Obama administration to reduce the civilian head count by up to 15 percent through attrition.
National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley called the legislation "misguided," saying, "Rather than address the nation's deficit, this bill would force agencies to rely more heavily on unaccountable and expensive private contractors, resulting in higher costs to taxpayers, poor services and questionable transactions."
The Wyoming Republican introduced the legislation just days before President Obama released his fiscal 2012 budget, which proposes increasing federal employment next year by as many as 15,000 new civilian employees. There are about 2.1 million workers in the federal government.
The budget request proposes that most of the new employees go to security agencies. The bump would come on the heels of a decrease in federal employment this year, meaning that even if lawmakers enacted Obama's proposal, government would still have 12,000 fewer civilian employees in fiscal 2012 than in fiscal 2010.

Putting kids on hold is a good thing
When you are put on hold when calling the Lindenhurst School District, you get a pleasant surprise. Instead of some canned elevator music, the district has put its own student choir on tape for callers to listen to. What a clever idea! We applaud them for finding another way to promote their talented students. Other districts might like to copy the idea.

Alfresco's John Powell and Matt Asay Listed among "Most Influential People in Open Source"
Open source best practice research from MindTouch reveals industry's views on top movers and shakers in OSS
LONDON, UK. – October 29, 2009 – Alfresco Software, the leader in open source enterprise content management (ECM), was today one of only two vendors, alongside Sun Microsystems, able to boast the recognition of two of its employees on the MindTouch "Most Influential People in Open Source" list.
As voted by 50 C- and VP-level open source executives across Europe and North America, John Powell, CEO and Matt Asay, VP Business Development, were highlighted among a group of well-known industry luminaries from Red Hat, Sugar CRM and MySQL.
The top 25 list was generated as part of MindTouch's 2009 open source best practices research, counting more than 50 votes from senior executives who were allowed to vote only for those outside of their own organization.
"We're extremely flattered that open source industry insiders have named two of our key executives to MindTouch's impressive list of open source innovators," commented Ian Howells, CMO, Alfresco Software. "Both John and Matt play a significant role in educating the wider market about the benefits of open source software, and this recognition further highlights Alfresco's position as a critical driver of open source adoption across a range of markets."

Carbohydrates are the body's fuel ofchoice. Although we ingest calories fromcarbohydrates, proteins and fats, it's the carbcalories that the body turns into its readilyavailable form of energy, glucose.
Protein and fat calories are digestedand stored for other important uses, likemaking new muscle cells and accumulatingconcentrated energy for potential futureuse. But the fuel that gets us going in themorning and keeps us going all day longcomes from our carbohydrate foods.
Choose the Carbs Our Bodies Know Best
The carbs that work best for us are the onesmost familiar to the human digestive system,dating all the way back to Paleolithic times:unrefined, minimally processed high-fiberwhole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Stone-ground 100 percent whole grainbreads, old fashioned rolled oats, brownrice, pasta and noodles made from durumwheat, yams and sweet potatoes, steamedor raw vegetables, berries, citrus fruits,apples, pears, stone fruits and grapes aresome common examples of these "familiar"carbohydrate foods.
These carbohydrates are low glycemic index(GI) foods that offer the body many of thedaily nutrients it needs (calories, protein,fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients)while providing slowly released glucose intothe bloodstream.
After eating low GI carbs, there is no spikein blood glucose and no subsequentprecipitous drop. The body receives aconsistent flow of energy into the blood,which circulates the energy throughoutthe entire body. When nourished this way,the body experiences a sense of sustainedsatiety and well-being.
Food editor's note: Don't neglect gettingregular exercise, which allows the body totolerate more carbohydorates.
Making the switch to low GI carbohydrates? Here are some suggestions:
Read product labels. Seek out products that are made with whole grainsand whole grain flours rather than enriched wheat flour, which has had thebran and much of the fiber and nutrients removed. You can also keep aneye out for unwanted ingredients such as trans fats and chemical additivesand fillers.
Look for breads and rolls whose first ingredient listed is whole wheat orwhole rye flour, rather than enriched wheat flour. Whole wheat pita breadand 100 percent whole wheat English muffins are widely available.
Look for whole grain crackers like Ry Krisp, Ry Vita, and Wasa. Avoidcrackers such as Saltines, Ritz, Melba Toast, Wheat Thins and others madefrom enriched wheat flour.
Choose old fashioned or rolled oats instead of quick, one-minute or instantoats.
Choose minimally processed high-fiber cereals like Kellogg's Complete Oator Wheat Bran Flakes, All Bran With Extra Fiber, Kashi and Fiber One.
There are a few fruits that naturally contain a fair amount of glucose:bananas, pineapple, watermelon, raisins and cantaloupe. These fruits arebest eaten in small quantities, as part of a fruit salad, for example. Anothergood rule of thumb is to eat the whole fruit rather than drink the juice. Forexample, eat an orange rather than drink a glass of orange juice.
Replace white potatoes with sweet potatoes or yams. And rememberthat potatoes, corn, peas and winter squash are considered starches eventhough they are vegetables.
Avoid puffed, airy, refined starchy snacks like rice cakes, popped corn orpretzels. Better choices are dry-roasted nuts, cooked sugar-free puddings,reduced-fat or no-sugar-added ice cream, fruit smoothies made with freshor frozen fruit, skim milk or light yogurt, whole grain or bran muffins andlow-fat oatmeal cookies.

LEICESTER — The end is in sight for one of Leicester Central School's main infrastructure woes.
Last spring, the school received a $50,000 energy efficiency and conservation block grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the economic stimulus law) to fund the installation of a new, energy-efficient boiler and water heater in the school. Leicester Central has put the installation contract out to bid, with the hope of doing the new installations in the spring.

General financial framework 2004-2007 for Community consumer policy activities
The European Union has set a financial framework of EUR 81.8 million in support of consumer policy for the period 2004-2007. This financial framework will fund 19 actions relating to: protection of consumer safety (services and non-food products), protection of the economic and legal interests of consumers, promotion of consumer information and education and promotion of consumer organisations.
Decision No 20/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 December 2003 establishing a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy for the years 2004 to 2007 [See amending acts].
Decision No 1926/2006/EC has repealed Decision No 20/2004/EC with effect from 31 December 2006 (see below).
Decision No 20/2004/EC replaced Decision No 283/1999/EC (which had been in force until 2003) and established a new budgetary framework for a four-year period. The objective was to establish a direct link between the actions financed in support of consumer policy and the priorities of the Consumer policy strategy 2000-2006, taking into account the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities.
The Decision allocated funding to the amount of EUR 81.8 million (of which EUR 60.6 million was for the period up to 31 December 2006) to finance a total of 19 actions to develop consumer policy.
The financial framework was also accessible to the countries of the European Economic Area and the associated countries.
The financial instrument for 2004-2007 was used to finance, for example, the RAPEX rapid alert system, the EEJ network (see "Related Acts") and specific projects which fulfil the objectives and priorities of the Community's consumer policy.
This annual budget was equivalent to the budget allocated for actions in support of consumer policy in the previous period.
For further information, please consult the SCADPlus webpage on the 1999-2003 financial framework for Community activities in favour of consumers.
Decision No 1926/2006/EC

The report sets out the amounts spent on the development of the 19 Community actions in support of consumer policy scheduled for 2004 and 2005.
During this period the Member States implemented new coordinated actions especially in the field of market surveillance. Other initiatives cover the implementation of consumer information and education actions.

The report provides an overview of measures in favour of consumers in 2002-2003, and also assesses a number of activities carried out in 2004.
The latest measures focus on the desire to enhance the consumers' knowledge base. One such measure is the merging of the network of European consumer centres with the European Extra-judicial Network (EEJ-NET), which was created in January 2005.
The report also points to the need to provide greater support for consumer associations and, in particular, to increase their capacity.

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Tips to help reduce the levels of aflatoxin in corn. By Paul E. Sumner, University of Georgia Prior to Harvest Sanitation of equipment is the first step in preventing post-harvest aflatoxin contamination. Clean out all harvesting, handling and drying equipment and storage bins prior to harvest. Remove all broken corn, dust and foreign material that can provide a source of contamination. Check and repair storage bins to prevent moisture leaks from faulty joints or other problems. Clean bins and remove debris to reduce contamination. Use an approved insecticide to treat the bin before filling. Mow around storage bins to discourage insect/rodent activity. Always remember to provide adequate dust protection for those who work around grain-handling equipment. During harvest The following practices will reduce the likelihood of this problem. When corn reaches maturity, harvest immediately and dry mechanically. Harvest should begin when the moisture level reaches 28 to 30 percent. Studies have shown that most corn hybrids will normally lose about 0.5 to 0.6 percent moisture per day during the dry-down period. You can reduce field exposure by at least 1 to 2½ weeks by harvesting above 22 percent moisture compared to letting corn dry in the field to 15 percent or less. This will require immediate drying, however. Irrigated corn generally has fewer problems with Aspergillus infection due to better growing conditions (less drought and heat stress, etc.). If corn is irrigated, harvest the crop outside the pivot separately and store it separately to reduce chances of contaminating good corn. Be sure the clean the combine before harvesting the irrigated corn. Set combines to minimize grain damage. Set fans higher to clean out light-weight cracked grain and undeveloped kernels. Slowing header seed reduces kernel damage. Ears in contact with the ground for some time usually exhibit higher than normal aflatoxin levels and should not be picked up, if possible. Combine cylinder/rotor speed should be slow enough and concave clearance as great as possible to provide adequate threshing. Less damage to seed coat occurs with these settings. Install filler plates between cylinder bars to reduce physical damage. Proper grain handling Do not hold high moisture grain in wagons or trucks longer than 6 hours. Place high moisture corn being held for drying in a holding bin using forced air to keep it as cool as possible. Use sound sanitation practices in handling grain. Clean augur wells and pits, and clean around dump stations before and after each use. Minimize physical damage by conveyors or from dropping the grain into tall bins. Proper grain storage Grain held in storage should be inspected and probed every 3 to 4 weeks. Check for insect activity, high temperatures, mold growth or sprouting at the top of the grain. Drying temperature and drying time may have an effect on the development of aflatoxin in stored grain. Slow drying with low heat over long periods could promote aflatoxin development. Layer-in-Bin Drying Drying corn in deep layers can produce conditions highly favorable for mold development. The drying temperature for this method is increased only 10 to 20 degrees F above outside conditions. The relative humidity in the top layer of grain remains very high for an extended period of time. These factors are favorable for aflatoxin production. Batch-in-Bin Drying A lot of grain is batch dried in bins. Wet grain is usually placed about 3 to 4 feet deep in a drying bin and hot air (about 140 degrees F) is forced through the grain, drying the batch normally in less than 24 hours. The grain is then cooled for storage in the same bin or moved to a storage bin and cooled by aeration fans. Column Dryers Aflatoxin production in column dryers operated at high temperatures (180-200 degrees F) and short drying time (1-2 hours) is very unlikely. This is true for batch or continuous flow column type dryers. Several organic acids are registered for use on high moisture corn. Most grain can find a safe and legitimate use, however. Cleaning grain by screening or a gravity table can reduce aflatoxin concentrations by removing the most heavily contaminated particles. This can be expensive, however, and it is not possible to predict just how much the aflatoxins will be reduced.

It's happening all over the country: Bars and clubs are installing shuffleboard tables, and people, anxious to play, are flocking to them. Even though the game has been around for decades, it is experiencing a sudden surge in popularity. In Florida, for example, the sport is becoming more popular than golf!
While shuffleboard began as a deck game, the table version is becoming a serious contender against pool tables and dart boards around the country, and it's beginning to make its way into the man caves and game rooms of lucky homes as well.
Shuffleboard tables come in a variety of sizes that make it easier to choose one that will fit your space, and while it takes some time and effort to master the game, the challenge and enjoyment is infectious.
The International Shuffleboard Association was founded in St. Petersburg in 1979. The club, whose members play the deck form of the game, struggled to maintain membership, dropping to 35 members in 2005 after seeing a peak of 8,000 members in the late 40s. Now membership has spiked to 200 and continues to grow. The 2013 World Shuffleboard Singles Championship will be held at the St. Petersburg Shuffleboard Club in late October 2013.
Whether you're brushing up on your game, to attend the championship, or just can't get enough of shuffleboard in your neighborhood, consider one of the fine shuffleboards available at eFamilyFun, such as the Playcraft Woodbridge Shuffleboard Table in Honey Oak, available in 9', 12', 14' and 16' lengths and qualifies for free shipping. It makes a perfect addition to your man cave or game room; it also can be a draw for your club or bar.

"As a taxpayer, I'm here to voice my frustrations as to problems within the city's DPW," resident Mike DiSalvia said Monday during a 15-minute open microphone session that takes place at the end of Public Hearings at City Council meetings. Council members are not to respond to questions posed, but citizens are allowed to comment about city government issues.
DiSalvia said a recent news segment reported by Walt Buteau of WPRI Channel 12 prompted him to attend the meeting and express his feelings. The segment revealed possible theft of loam (soil composed of a mixture of sand, clay, silt and organic matter) occurring at the Department of Public Works.
After Buteau and his cameraman conducted undercover surveillance that began in August and wrapped up in September, Buteau reported last week that Target 12 filmed Compost Facility Senior Equipment Operator Dan Conley "on multiple occasions … driving and parking a pair of privately registered trucks on city property near the compost facility on Sandy Lane. The trucks were loaded several times with what appeared to be loam, which Conley then hauled from the facility."
Cameras revealed that Conley was taking "what appeared to be
several loads of loam from the city's compost facility for a landscaping project in a private yard."
The news team followed Conley to the Warwick home of Robert Mattox, "and watched as the truck dumped the dirt in the driveway. About an hour later, the empty dump truck was parked in front of a home that tax assessor's records indicate is owned by Conley."
Buteau interviewed Conley, who repeated, "I have no comment," but eventually said, "It's not okay to take that [loam]. And that's not what it is," while Mattox said he grew grass in that soil. "It's just topsoil," Mattox said.
But Conley was adamant in saying the dirt he delivered to Mattox was compost. Compost is free to residents. According to Buteau, "a sample of what was in the back of one of the dump trucks is light-brown in color with a fine texture. A sample of the free compost obtained by Target 12 was black and chunky with twigs and leaves in it."
Mattox told Buteau that while he knew Conley was a city employee, he was not aware that the soil was owned by the city. He also said that Conley delivered five loads of the soil to his home and did not pay Conley for it.
When Warwick Beacon reporters visited Conley's home Tuesday evening, he said, "Oh, screw," and proceeded to slam the door in their faces. Reporters also stopped by Mattox's home, where Maddox told them he had no comment.
As of Tuesday, Warwick Police were investigating the situation. Col. Stephen McCartney had nothing to report. He asked anyone with knowledge about the situation to contact the department.
At the council meeting, DiSalvia said he would like to see the council put forth a resolution that would give a full audit of the DPW, as well as a full inventory of the department.
"Correct me if I am wrong, but the city runs as a business and from my experience doing audits, everything is inventoried, not just items that have a high value," he said. "When Wal-Mart, for example, does their yearly inventories, I can guarantee that they don't tell the company performing the inventory, 'Don't inventory anything under $5.' No – everything is counted, from a penny item, to the most expensive item."
He went on to say that he is fed up that certain employees of the DPW feel entitled to city property.
"The days of the workers taking what they want at the taxpayers' expense must stop and stop now," he said.
DiSalvia contacted a Beacon reporter Tuesday and said that he felt harassed by DPW workers at the meeting, including Terry DiPetrillo.
Moments after the meeting, DiPetrillo walked by DiSalvia as a Beacon reporter was interviewing him and DiPetrillo said, "You've got to learn how to read," as DiSalvia read his comments from a sheet of paper to the council. The reporter also heard DiPetrillo's comment.
Upon exiting City Hall, DiSalvia said other DPW employees he could not identify were also heckling him.
"I felt like they were trying to put me in a position to make me look like the bad guy," DiSalvia said. "I just ignored them. They can say what they want. Words are words. I'm not interested in getting involved in that. I was there to voice my opinions. That's my right under the First Amendment."
DiSalvia believes that the DPW workers were in violation of Warwick's Ethics and Integrity in City Government Executive Order. He also feels Conley is in violation.
On Oct. 24, Mayor Scott Avedisian issued the document, which can be accessed simply by doing a Google search of "Warwick's Ethics and Integrity in City Government Executive Order." Anyone with a concern is advised to call 468-4337 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to leave a confidential message.
Avedisian's press secretary Sue Baker said police are investigating the situation, and once they conclude their investigation, their findings would depend on any potential disciplinary action involving the alleged theft.
"The city considers the allegations serious," she said. "We've asked the police department to investigate any criminal activities related to possible theft of city materials. Other issues of concern that appear to be non-criminal in nature and are potential violations of the city policy would be unauthorized access to city facilities after regular hours."
She also said if anyone felt harassed, he/she should make a formal complaint to the WPD. Visit wpri.com to read Buteau's full report.
Everything is free at the compost facility.This DiSalvia guy needs to find something better to do with his time.It was not a CITY truck to boot !!!
Ginger, your comment is absurd. This was a multi month investigation that filmed the removal of material that the taxpayer purchases. Whether it was gold bars or dirt, it is still theft. Maybe you should watch the film closely, dirt was not the only thing removed and put in his truck. Furthermore, is it ok to use city loaders and fuel to conduct your own little private side busness?
I commend Mr. Disalvia for speaking out on the issue. At least someone is paying attention. Just keep making believe everything is ok in Bizzarro World while we continue to be robbed blind. This is the 5th incident this year with this department.
The Naylor theft incident
The $9675.00 check that got slid to councilman Ray Gallucci through the back door
The buddy punching of the time cards
The driving around all day everyday without getting out of the vehicle
And now theft of dirt
Where does it end??
Its sad that there is an article where a taxpaying resident speaks at a city council meeting they are subject to rude comments that are intended to intimidate the public.

PostgreSQL Performance Pitfalls
PostgreSQL is a database system that can deliver excellent performance for a wide variety of applications. But it's easy to run into an issue that keeps you from seeing its full potential. There are a few basic PostgreSQL configuration and use misunderstandings that cause most of the early performance issues administrators and developers encounter.
This talk covers the most common performance problems seen in real-world PostgreSQL deployment. It briefly summarizes each and points out the basics of how to avoid them. It's like navigating a minefield: you'll progress though a lot faster if you can start by knowing what the mines look like.
With PostgreSQL 9.0 featuring all new built-in replication and query distribution features, the timing has never been better to consider what a serious jump into using PostgreSQL would look like. Getting the performance related aspects right can be one of the most stressful parts of such a migration, particularly if you're new to the database and its quirks. Follow the suggestions here, and you can build your database to postpone many of these slowdowns until you've already proven your application is a success.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Mike Tyson walked through the door at Mario Costa's bar-restaurant-boxing gym-rooftop pigeon refuge in Jersey City, New Jersey on Monday afternoon.
Dressed in black from head to toe, including a long black leather coat, Tyson popped into Costa's spot for a brief respite from the madness of his world.
Tyson had done a round of interviews in New York City and made his way across the Hudson River to cool his heels at Costa's funky spot, aptly named Ringside, before heading back for the inaugural taping of the new "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.''
It was a little before 3 p.m. and there were just a few people in the place – a handful of guys playing billiards, a small group having drinks, a couple with a small child having lunch. But the regulars barely turned their heads when Tyson walked through the door. To them it was like a family member coming home, walking through the front door and entering the living room.
Tyson was just as comfortable. He obliged those seeking pictures with him before finally making his way to the end of the bar, where Costa keeps a stool open for him whenever Tyson calls to tell him he's in town and he's coming over.
There are pictures of Tyson, and other boxers Costa has befriended over the years, dotting the walls of the restaurant and behind the bar. Costa dismantled Tyson's pigeon coup from Brooklyn and moved it to the top of his restaurant where the birds roost and their owner checks on them regularly.
The 47-year-old former heavyweight champion is a very busy man these days. He's a celebrity author with a recently published book and a stage performer in a one-man show. Now he has added boxing promoter to his plate.
Tyson a boxing promoter? The man who walked away from the sport in 2005 saying he hated it and the blood suckers who preyed on boxers?
Yep. You got it. Mike Tyson is a boxing promoter, the man behind Iron Mike Productions. He's been at it for seven months now, scouting boxers, signing boxers, dealing with TV networks and negotiating with other promoters to stage shows.
"Man, this is really hard,'' Tyson said as he leaned on the bar. "It's hard signing fighters and getting other promoters to let you use their fighters and making deals for fights. Nobody wants to work together and nobody wants to help you.''
Tyson has already promoted three boxing cards. His debut card was an ESPN show at Verona, New York – not too far from the Catskills where Tyson honed the skills under the tutelage of Cus D'amato and became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.
He just signed a deal for a monthly fight card at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He has a show there on Saturday night.
"I doubt they would be dealing with me if my name was just Mike and I was just some guy,'' Tyson said.
He isn't just another guy. And he doesn't want to be just another boxing promoter.
"I really want to look out for my boxers,'' Tyson said. "Boxers are always getting taken advantage of. I want to make sure they don't get used.''
Tyson has already been party to in-the-ring controversy while looking out for the best interest of one of his boxers. Last month Argenis Mendez, the IBF featherweight champion, was knocked out by Rances Barthelemy after referee Peter Podgorski was slow breaking the fighters to end the 2nd round.
Barthelemy had dropped Mendez to the canvas with a few seconds remaining in the round. Mendez beat the count and got to his feet right before the bell sounded to end the round. Rances landed two telling shots after the bell rang, knocking out Mendez.
Tyson screamed foul at ringside and later appealed the verdict to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, which oversees boxing in the state. It overturned the decision. Mendez's world championship was returned and the IBF has ordered a rematch.
"People were saying that I bullied them into changing the decision,'' Tyson said. "But you could see he hit my guy after the bell. I'm always going to stick up for my guy.''
Tyson currently has 14 boxers under contract and is looking to sign more. He admits that his celebrity will help with that. But he doesn't want just any boxers. His boxers must fit his motto, a credo that he entered the ring subscribing to until the end.
"You either knock the guy out or he knocks you out,'' Tyson said. "I want guys who are going to fight.''

In an effort to raise the bar on consumer health targeting, messaging and measurement, Nielsen and Wolters Kluwer Health have launched HealthScape, an information platform.
The platform touts "de-identified patient prescription-related transaction data," courtesy of Wolters Kluwer Health, combined with "consumer purchasing, attitudinal and behavior information," from Nielsen, according to a company release.
Specifically, Nielsen will offer its consumer OTC and consumer packaged goods data from its Homescan and Scantrack services. Wolters Kluwer Health will provide data from its SourceLx and Pharmaceutical Audit Suite (PHAST) services.
Media buyers, for example, can use HealthScape's prescription drug data to assess ad executions with greater precision, according to Rick Crangle, national director at Wolters Kluwer Health. "The same metrics used to calibrate and execute media plans for consumer products can now be employed to bring more accuracy and sophistication to prescription drug media efforts. Key factors for determining [pharmaceutical] ad placement vary by product and market, but include managed care, physician recommendations, race, age and gender," said Crangle.
Factors driving patient purchasing patterns, which are measurable by HealthScape, include co-morbidities, severity of condition, type of insurance and impact of co-pay versus retail price, managed care formulary controls and mass media advertising, and others, according to Crangle.
HealthScape products are available in both subscription report format or as ad hoc reports, and can be customized based on a client's needs, noted Crangle.
"The issue until now has been that manufacturers could not measure the impact of specific marketing or promotional tactics for a given campaign. Now HealthScape links these activities directly to the prescription and OTC-related consumption for individuals," he said.

Simon Bennetts OWASP Manchester board member
- File:OWASP Manchester into 11 11 16.pdf OK, so due to technical problems these didnt actually work on the night ;)
Talk: Policy is the best honesty
Technology is rapidly emerging and maturing to enable connectivity and interoperability of a panoply of devices. The right investment relies on addressing workable, realistic policies first. Daniel will tell you about what NCC members are doing to allow staff to 'BYOD' and build pragmatic iPolicies.
Speaker: Dr Daniel Dresner, Head of Information Assurance Practice, National Computing Centre
Talk: Non-alphanumeric code in JavaScript and PHP
Understanding how to create non-alpha code leads to a deeper understanding on how the particular language works.
Gareth shall discuss the history of non-alpha JavaScript, the challenges and creativity behind it.
How can you decode:
$=~[];$={___:++$,$$$$:(![]+"")[$],__$:++$,$_$_:(![]+"")[$],_$_:++$,$_$$:({}+"")[$],$$_$:($[$]+"") [$],_$$:++$,$$$_:(!""+"")[$],$__:++$,$_$:++$,$$__:({}+"")[$],$$_:++$,$$$:++$,$___:++$,$__$:++$}; $.$_=($.$_=$+"")[$.$_$]+($._$=$.$_[$.__$])+($.$$=($.$+"")[$.__$])+((!$)+"")[$._$$]+($.__=$.$_[$.$$_]) +($.$=(!""+"")[$.__$])+($._=(!""+"")[$._$_])+$.$_[$.$_$]+$.__+$._$+$.$;$.$$=$.$+(!""+"")[$._$$]+ $.__+$._+$.$+$.$$;$.$=($.___)[$.$_][$.$_];$.$($.$($.$$+"\""+$.$_$_+(![]+"")[$._$_]+$.$$$_+"\\"+ $.__$+$.$$_+$._$_+$.__+"("+$.__$+")"+"\"")())();
Gareth will explain.
Gareth shall also cover how to create this in PHP and what techniques are involved.

If you're hoping to stay sharp in your old age, go pick up a cell phone.
A new study suggests that prolonged cell phone use may actually help reduce and reverse the affect of Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at the University of South Florida.
Dozens of mice were exposed to cell phone radiation for two hours a day over a seven to nine months, and in mice genetically programmed to develop Alzheimer's disease, memory and thinking skills were protected.
For mice who were already beginning to show symptom's of the disease, memory impairment disappeared. The harmful amyloid plaques that build up in the brain as the disease progresses were erased.
"Any evidence, even from mice, is promising," said Richard Isaacson, a neurologist at the University of Miami. "I think that still a ton of work needs to be done but at least it shows a glimmer of hope with some of the treatment."
Science has been on the side of cell phone companies in the past few months.
In December, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a 30-year study that showed no increased incidents of brain cancer among cell phone users.
If these studies hold up, it looks like all those cell phone urban legends may need to be rewritten.

Anna Kavalauskas: 1995 Toyota Corolla
Anna Kavalauskas drives a hard bargain. Last August, she purchased her 1995 Toyota Corolla for $1.
"My boyfriend's parents were moving to Paris, so they wanted to get rid of it," says the fourth-year Philosophy major at UVA.
But one man's trash...
"I'm really grateful for this car. By far, the best thing about it is that everything works," says Kavalauskas.
Nothing to scoff at, considering the state of her previous set of wheels, a 1990 Volvo.
"My last car's doors made horrible noises every time you opened them, and the driver's side window always fell down," she recalls. "I had to prop it up with a piece of cardboard wedged in."
The one thing she wishes her new ride had: personality.
"It's kind of bland," she says. "It's an every person's kind of car. But then again, it's a lot more reliable than my old car. So normal is good."
Anna Kavalauskas
What drives you? Call 295-8700 ext. 239, then pull up in front of Hook headquarters at 100 Second St. NW, and tell us why you love your ride. Each week's featured driver receives a free car wash courtesy of H&H Quality Car Care.

What concerns me is not only the fact that he has casually flung across a joke that in the truest sense is anything but what it's owner claims it to be- but the fact that a man of such a prerogative holds ultimate powers to punish a rapist--broadly a set whom he casually notches as noble 'enjoyment' suppliers...

C'mon Shobhaa, read the full text of what he said. That stupid proverb is unfortunately a chinese proverb ! He said, "Not making a law because it cannot be implemented is like saying (meaning as ridiculous as) 'If you cannot prevent rape, enjoy it'". In his sentence he has tried to make an effect on the stupid chinese proverb by emphasizing that it is ridiculous. The illiterate NCW who cannot understand simple english has protested against him saying that he asked women to enjoy rape. Whatever you have said applies to them & not to him. It is they who are illiterate, cannot understand english & craving for photo op in TV. Thousands of dalit children & women are raped in villages. What are these publicity mongering women doing about it ? First let them do their job before finding fault with others. Now that they have understood the full text which was quoted to them as an "explanation" by the CBI chief which they demanded 'within 24 hrs', they have said that the matter is closed. As an english novelist, you should've read the full text instead of going by the stupid NCW's complaint.

Central Bureau of Investigation is a body of politically personified rowdy beings [no I will not call them parrots and/or dogs - for that would be an insult to both parrots and dogs] meant to please their political bosses.
That much has been admitted to by Ranjit.
I would interpret that as rape of an institution and its head.
Therefore, since Ranjit has not quit his post, let us ask him the question - Hey Ranjit ... how enjoyable is your being raped from beind by the political system man?

Like Latha mentioned, this is a WITCH HUNT. There is NOTHING wrong with what the CBI chief said and its sad to drag him to the wolves because people jump to conclusions. Is someone mad to say such things? The full text was different and you should please edit your blog before causing further damage and joining the bandwagon of reactonaries.

- Cheryllyne said...
It doesn't matter whether it's a Chinese proverb or not OR the fact that we should consider his entire statement. Ultimately for a public official in his power and role, he should have used another analogy or 'proverb' to illustrate his point — not the one he did ultimately use, considering the sensitive nature of the topic and the environment in India right now. For a responsible individual, he should have known how it would have been perceived.

The release said school President David Boren accepted the recommendation of athletic director Joe Castiglione and coach Bob Stoops. Mixon will be excluded from all team activities and removed from the team roster. The school said with appropriate conditions, Mixon will be permitted to continue as a student, eligible for financial aid.

Chi Cao, Rama Gerig and Jared Nelson are three of the 73 scholars selected nationwide, and only five from Texas, this year to receive this award. The highly-selective scholarships provide up to $30,000 per year for up to three years to community college students who are nominated by their schools based on a number of factors including academic excellence, persistence, leadership and financial need.
The scholarship is intended to cover a significant share of the student's educational expenses – including tuition, living expenses, books and required fees – for the final two to three years necessary to achieve a bachelor's degree. Awards vary by individual, based on the cost of tuition as well as other grants or scholarships he or she may receive.
The Cooke Foundation scholarship honors excellence by supporting outstanding community college students with financial need to transfer to, and complete, a bachelor's degree at four-year colleges and universities
Chi Cao, a Lone Star College-North Harris student, came to America from Viet Nam speaking only a few words of English and understanding even less. She immersed herself into the English language aspiring to obtain an education in business and international development in order to help her homeland. Chi said she has never purchased a textbook because they are "too expensive" and instead goes to the library, checks them out from the circulation desk, and studies on campus.
Rama Gerig, a Lone Star College-Tomball student, was raised by her mother who had little education. Gerig's father was incarcerated for sexual assault and she dropped out of school when she was 16. In spite of these barriers, Gerig successfully raised her own daughter, putting her through Texas A&M University, and devoted herself to helping other children who, like her, had parents who were in prison. She did not begin to focus on her own academics until 2008 when she received her GED. Not content with merely having an outstanding GPA, she is currently taking a sophomore level film class for honors credit – authoring an honors project paper on feminist character construction in American cinema. Gerig says she plans to get a master's degree in social work.
Jared Nelson, also a LSC-Tomball student, was diagnosed at the age of 15 with a severe condition called Sydenham's chorea, a rare form of rheumatic fever. The effects of this remain with him to this day and at times he endures seizures and temporary paralysis. Despite this challenge, Nelson said he plans to attend Texas A&M University where he will study quantum physics.
The prestigious scholarship, established 13 years ago, is named for billionaire businessman Jack Kent Cooke, who died in 1997. In the 2013 application cycle, the Foundation received 769 nominations from 377 community colleges in 45 states and the District of Columbia. The final 73 recipients represent just 9.5 percent of the total applicant pool. They were selected by a prominent committee made up of 37 admissions professionals and professors, mostly from selective four-year institutions, as well as from community colleges.
For more information about the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation visit jkcf.org/

Defense contractor attacks and breaches also began with a single click. Forbes: For Pentagon Contractors, Cyberspying Escalates, As cyberspies multiply and evolve, the military says many defense firms remain woefully unsecure. See http://www.forbes.com/2010/02/17/pentagon-northrop-raytheon-technology-security-cyberspying.html Excerpts: "But military contractors General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman have both been successfully breached by cyberspies in the last two years, according to sources familiar with the security situations of those companies. It's also likely that many other major defense contractors have recently had data stolen by hackers." "As early as 2003 Sandia National Laboratories and its managing company, Lockheed Martin,were penetrated by cyberspies, seemingly based in China, who pilfered plans for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a class of technology with potential military uses. In 2007 Forbes reported that cyberspies, again seemingly based in China, had breached the largest 10 military contractors, including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Boeing." "The Pentagon's forensics-focused Cyber Crime Center, where Shirley is executive director, found that between August 2007 and August 2009, 71 government agencies, contractors, universities and think tanks with connections to the U.S. military had been penetrated by foreign hackers, in some cases multiple times. In total, Shirley told Forbes, the center performed 116 investigations following spying breaches and found that in all but 14 of those cases the intruders had gained complete administrator-level access to the victim's network."

A year ago my wife bought me a Barns & Noble nook - love it! She checked it out - I had to buy HER one if I was ever going to get mine back. Since, we've bought one for our son (35) and my mother. I have the B&W with WiFi and 3G - my wife has the new color nook.
There are LOTS of free books out there, especially older publications on history and philosophy. B&N offers a free book every Friday. You can read newspapers, magazines, whatever. And, unlike the Kindle, the nook is non-propriatary, so you can load books from your computer, or from the local library, whatever.
GoogleBooks has scanned several million old books, and most are available for free. The nook can store up to 1500 titles, which are yours (forever) including audio books, and has a built in dictionary.
I HIGHLY recommend the nook.
Oh yeah. I have found so many public domain books online that I would love to read but hate reading on computer screens. I've tried audio books but I hate hearing them read in someone else's voice. Well...unless it was someone with a distinctive voice reading from a genre fitting their voice. Like Vincent Price reading Poe.To me it's like seeing a beloved book made into a movie. It's rarely meets and, even rarer, exceeds the imagination.
Thank you for the recommendation. I'm thinking Nook is my best option. Most books that I have interest in have been out of print for over 100 years so I would have to pay a small fortune to buy a copy unless I luck out. There is always that odd occasion one stumbles on a great find though.

You can try resetting factory settings, re-installing the software (download from Nikon and follow the bouncing ball) or simply buy a newer and better camera. Which path you go down is pretty much a personal choice.

Mayor Don Wesely today announced that a proposed study of the city-owned Pershing Auditorium will be expanded into a market study of the hospitality, convention and entertainment business in Lincoln and Lancaster County. The city plans to hire a firm to conduct the study, and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are being released to potential bidders.
"We had planned to do a study simply on the future of Pershing, but before we spend any money on expanding or renovating that facility, we really need to take a look at the bigger picture," Mayor Wesely said. "As the recent report from the Concert and Entertainment Task Force indicated, there is a need to look at the facility issue city-wide and county-wide."
In addition to Pershing, those participating in the study include Lancaster County, the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Downtown Lincoln Association, the Mayor's Downtown Action Committee, the Lancaster County Agricultural Society, the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
On a related issue, Mayor Wesely announced that he has selected SMG of Philadelphia to manage Pershing. The city will begin negotiations with SMG. The final negotiated contract will be submitted to the City Council for its approval in August. Ogden Entertainment of New York, which was managing Pershing, recently sold its entertainment division to Aramark of Philadelphia. The city terminated the contract with Ogden and re-bid it.
SMG, the nation's largest private entertainment management firm, is a joint venture of Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and Aramark. The other bidder for the management contract was Compass Facility Management of Ames, Iowa.

One very knobbly Jerusalem artichoke, one very silky mushroom soup
Have you ever seen a recipe for Jerusalem artichoke/Sunchoke/Topinambur-something that begins with "Wash and peel the Jerusalem artichokes". I have. While I obviously understand the washing bit, then I'm a bit unsure about the peeling. See the specimen above? That's just one example of an artichoke I had to deal with earlier today, when preparing lunch for K's mum who came to visit her grand-daughter (who's doing splendidly, by the way:)). Have you ever seen such a knobbly Jerusalem artichoke before? It was beautiful - crisp and fresh, but had I attempted to peel it, there wouldn't have been much left. So I gave it a very good wash and scrub, and simply chopped it. And that's what I'll do from now on - I'll only buy Jerusalem artichokes with thin and beautiful skin, so I can omit that tricky "peel the artichoke" bit...
The inspiration for combining mushrooms and Jerusalem artichokes came from one Estonian monthly, but I've changed the process and proportion so considerably so there's no need to credit anything specific :)
Jerusalem artichoke and mushroom soup
Serves 4
250 g Jerusalem artichokes (aka topinambur aka Sunchokes)
250 g mushrooms
1 medium yellow onion
2 Tbsp butter
600 ml water
400 ml whipping/heavy cream (use single/light cream, if you prefer)
freshly ground black pepper
fresh thyme, to garnish
Wash and peel (or not :)) the Jerusalem artichokes. Peel the onions. Clean the mushrooms. Chop all into small chunks.
Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan, add the artichokes, onion and mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes. Season with some salt.
Add hot water, bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the Jerusalem artichokes are softened.
Transfer into a blender and purée until smooth.
Return to the saucepan, add cream and reheat. Season with salt and pepper (and some dried porcini or chantarelle powder, if you wish), garnish with fresh thyme and serve.
Some shaved Parmesan cheese would also be nice.

In searching for a recipe for a soup with these ingredients - I knew it had to exist - I stumbled upon your lovely blog. I've started browsing through it and really love the things you make! (Two rugelach recipes, wow.) Will definitely check back regularly.

Former chancellor Alistair Darling has warned of the "immense" economic difficulties Scotland would face if it voted for independence.
The Scottish MP for Edinburgh South West said the risks would be "amazing" and not worth gambling on.
Mr Darling has emerged as a leading candidate to head the pro-Union campaign but, in an interview with The Observer, said he was not interested in taking on such a role.
However, he delivered a powerful rebuttal of the arguments advanced by the Scottish National Party administration at Holyrood for independence.
"The downsides are immense, the risks are amazing, the uncertainties I just don't think are worth gambling on," he said. "There are times when you should gamble and there are times when you shouldn't."
Mr Darling, who was chancellor under Gordon Brown during the 2008 banking meltdown, said a newly-independent Scotland would face deep economic uncertainty against a backdrop of continued global turmoil.
He said that if Scotland retained sterling it would remain tied to England and Wales and face similar challenges to the eurozone now, which lacks formal political union.
"If you have a single currency area you come back to having an economic if not a political union," he said. "So you go through all the trauma and expense of leaving the Union, only to come back and discover that because you want to be part of this common currency you are back to where you were. I just don't see the sense of that."
Leaving sterling and joining the euro would not give Edinburgh independence, he said, as it would still not set its own interest rates and would be more beholden to Brussels.
And he said that for Scotland to set up its own currency would be a huge gamble. "You would be a brave country indeed to say, 'here is our new currency, we are not actually sure how much it is going to be worth after the first day's trading'," he said. "It would be one hell of a risk."

A minor brush with fame...
The truth is that I rarely use a recipe when I bake or cook, I just seem to know how ingredients go together. I have read so many cookbooks and food related articles that figuring out how a come up with a recipe for what I want to make is intuitive. It is a rare time that I use an exact recipe to make a meal and when I do, I don't post it here. I think that many food bloggers do post recipes that they get from food magazines and cookbooks (and that's fine!) and most do post attributions. Which is only fair to the original author, no one likes to see their hard work going unnoticed or worse yet, being attributed to someone else.

Ooh congratulations!! I was also actually mentioned in a recent article in my home country (Greece), if you can believe it, and it felt amazing! At least you know SOMEONE has read you, and that is good to know ;)ReplyDelete
I agree with you about the knowing how things go together part.. I feel the same way.
Hope this leads to further and more considerable mentions!
Cool! And you're right: Gotta give credit where credit is due.ReplyDelete
Congratulations, you're famous! Well, sort of :-) That pasta dish below looks fab!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I just read the article, and blogged about it this morning...good show!ReplyDelete
Good for you...it's an important thing for food bloggers--and anyone who passes recipes on to know...ReplyDelete
Oh, *tag* BTW.
Thank you for visiting Coconut & Lime! I read and appreciate each one of your comments.
